Yes, I know, it would be perverse, contrarian and somewhat pointless to go all the way to Peter Luger and not order steak. But to help satisfy my nagging curiosity, has anyone ever ordered anything from their little-used menus besides porterhouse?
I know they offer lamb chops, etc.
I'm going there tonight and might be in the mood to commit sacrilege (I've done their porterhouse many times in the past and will likely do so in the future).

Caol Ila lies in hidden near Port Askaig, and has been affectionately named the hidden malt. Caol Ila (Gaelic for Sound of Islay), produces a full bodied smoky malt conjuring up images of traditional peat cutting and fishing industries of days gone by.
Caol Ila Distillery Malts
Coal Ila 12 Year Old
Fresh, sweetly fruity and smooth bodied, a classic expression of the Caol Ila is as rounded and clear as the shapes of the pot stills Spicy sea-air aromas, light fragrant smokiness and sweet smoky-dry flavours with the lingering, charred-dry finish of what makes Caol Ila the most appetising Islay's malt.
Coal Ila 18 Year Old
Smokey and smooth the 18 year old has grown grander with time. It's the ideal whisky to reward with while sitting beside the fire watching the sea and wind through the window, safe and snug indoors.
Caol Ila Distillers Edition
Perfectly matched with the sweet, subtle distillery character. Clear Gold. Richly flavoured yet also drying. Finely balanced. Crisp smokey bonfires, complex, elegant development with cinnamon spice.
Caol Ila Moch
Moch takes it's name from the Gaelic for 'dawn'. Moch is sweet, soft, smooth, clean, fresh and lightly smoky. Scrubbed-clean aromas and smoky-dry notes of peat is followed through on the palate by a sweet, then salty, clarity and simplicity.
Caol Ila 25 Years Old
Rich, sweet with the incredible velvety mouth feel. A pleasing citric acidity, light saltiness and a growing fragrant smokiness. Subtle flavours that comes only with age. It's the ideal whisky for the still and perishing winter's night.
Caol Ila 30 Years Old
The oldest Caol Ila ever released by the original distillers. Complex, mature and well structured, it combines a palate and finish rich in mature peat smoke with elegantly drying, herbal accents to create a really pungent, moreish malt.
Available to buy at our Distillery Shop.

Medicare may be off the table in deficit talks, at least for the moment. Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerBoehner on Trump tweets: He gets 'into a pissing match with a skunk' every day Boehner predicts GOP will 'never' repeal, replace ObamaCare Sudan sanctions spur intense lobbying MORE's (R-Ohio) latest offer to President Obama calls for tax increases on families making more than $1 million per year, but it wouldn't raise the Medicare eligibility age right away. That change could be on the table next year as part of an agreement on tax and entitlement reform, perhaps to avert the spending cuts in the "fiscal cliff."
"It's an issue for discussion, but I don't believe it's an issue that has to be dealt with between now and the end of the year," BoehnerJohn BoehnerBoehner on Trump tweets: He gets 'into a pissing match with a skunk' every day Boehner predicts GOP will 'never' repeal, replace ObamaCare Sudan sanctions spur intense lobbying MORE said Tuesday.
The Hill has the story on Boehner's comments. And click here for more details about his latest proposal, which Democrats quickly rejected.
Social Security: The entitlements picture got even messier Tuesday as proposals for a "chained CPI" in Social Security gained more attention. The chained CPI would change the way cost-of-living adjustments are calculated, and some Democrats fear it would hurt the most vulnerable retirees despite Obama's proposed tweaks. But House Democratic leaders sounded open to the idea on Tuesday.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told MSNBC on Tuesday that Democrats "will stick with the president" if an agreement is reached.
"Maybe not every single one of them," she added, noting that the details of the chained CPI proposal are "not all ironed out."
The Hill has more.
Road map for cuts: Various fiscal-cliff proposals have called for somewhere between $400 billion and $600 billion worth of healthcare and entitlement cuts. In a new analysis, Avalere Health lays out some of the possible ways to reach that total. Proposals that have been in multiple deficit-reduction blueprints — including raising the Medicare eligibility age — would net between $50 billion and $250 billion, Avalere said. More targeted provider cuts would add to that total. Extending Medicaid's prescription-drug rebates into Medicare would save as much as $142 billion, while reducing payments for hospitals' bad debts could save up to $23 billion. All told, Avalere said it's looking at somewhere between $300 billion and $500 billion in cuts.
Nurses call for action: The American Nurses Association (ANA) responded to Friday's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., by calling for gun control and better access to mental healthcare. The group, which represents the interests of 3.1 million U.S. registered nurses, urged lawmakers to (1) restore access to mental health services affected by cuts for individual and families, (2) increase students' access to nurses and mental health professionals from the elementary school level through college, and (3) ban assault weapons and enact other gun reforms. "As the largest single group of healthcare professionals, registered nurses witness firsthand the devastation from the injuries sustained from gun violence. Nurses also witness the trauma of individuals, families, and communities impacted by violence," the group noted in a statement. The White House said Tuesday that President Obama will push an assault weapons ban in his second term. Read that story at The Hill.
In cases of rape and incest: The conference report for the Defense authorization bill (S. 3254) released Tuesday includes an amendment that will allow servicewomen to use their military health coverage for abortion in cases of rape or incest. The provision from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen Jeanne ShaheenOvernight Cybersecurity: Senate sends Russia sanctions bill to Trump | Senators unveil email privacy bill | Russia tried to spy on Macron with Facebook Lawmakers push to toughen foreign lobbying rules Families make emotional plea for diabetes research funding MORE (D-N.H.) repeals a longstanding ban from abortion-rights opponents who object to seeing taxpayer dollars support abortions in any way. Abortion-rights groups praised the development, calling it a triumph for military women. Under current policy, military healthcare coverage only applies to abortion if the woman's life is in danger. Tuesday's conference report paves the way for the authorization's passage this week. Read more about it at DEFCON Hill.
Tan responsibly: The indoor tanning industry has launched a new group to combat what it calls misinformation about the health risks associated with sunbeds. The American Suntanning Association is made up of 14,000 small businesses and will work to promote a "higher-level discussion about UV light from the sun and from sunbeds," according to ASA board president Bart Bonn, who owns an Omaha, Neb.-based tanning chain. "The ASA is going to be a constructive party in that discussion, demanding a consumer-first conversation differentiating proper sun care from blatant overstatements about the risks of UV exposure," Bonn said. The American Cancer Society recently pushed federal officials to crack down on tanning beds, citing an elevated risk of cancer from their use. Read about that story and the industry's rebuttal at Healthwatch.

Barn Name: "GOLDIE"Registered Name: Buttermilk Thunder
2005 Mare AMHR / AMHA Currently Measures 33.75"
Goldie is a Perlino with white mane and tail.
Goldie is one of our select brood mares. She is a petite and has a unique face somewhat of a unicorn. She passes this unusual quality to her foals. She is easy to manage and loves people. She was used in community events and outdoor therapy before she came to our ranch. We are pleased to have her with us helping us to create more quality therapy horses for future gifting.By sponsoring one or more WPR therapy ponies, you are partnering directly with this healing ministry by contributing to the care of these life-changing animals–their foods, veterinary care, farrier, as well as contributing to the operating and construction costs of the retreat facility. As a WPR sponsor, you will receive a hoof-signed, frame-able picture of your sponsor horse(s) and a personalized autographed copy of Nita Horn's new memoir, No Fences: It Started with a Plastic Pony, all about the childhood vision that led to the 280-acre Whispering Ponies Ranch.
Whispering Ponies Ranch is a private retreat center where horses are trained for therapy uses and people of all ages attend by invitation for restorative ministries. All amenities—from food services and lodging to expert recreational and counseling staff—are provided at no cost.
Tom and Nita Horn envisioned WPR as a safe and inspirational environment where people can be rejuvenated or just relax for a few days to get refreshed. The therapy ponies of WPR visit places like veteran centers and care facilities and are used in public schools to help children with learning disabilities. Starting in the Fall of 2016, when the office complex is expected to be finished, groups will be able to use the facility for general retreat purposes (marriage encounters, writers' breakaways, youth camps, and so on) but, as Dr. Horn says, "The heart and vision for the facility is primarily to focus on those who have somehow been hurt, abandoned, disabled, or abused."

There's one player whose inclusion in a trade would be so significant that the rebuild in Columbus could be fast-tracked. But that player isn't going anywhere.
GM Scott Howson has consistently said that captain Rick Nash, who would immediately become the most sought-after player at the deadline if things changed, isn't on the trade market. This weekend, the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline reported that following ownership meetings, the conclusion was that president Mike Priest and Howson's jobs are safe after this season. While changes will be made heading into next season, they won't be the kind of seismic shift that means trading your franchise forward. Instead, it'll be more along the lines of a goalie addition and potential coaching change.
That said, Howson will be active before the Feb. 27 deadline. He has to be. We exchanged emails Sunday night, and he said he still doesn't have a sense as to when the activity will happen -- now or closer to the deadline -- but it's coming.
If he can move goalie Steve Mason, he'll do it. But Mason's contract and underperformance make that a tough sell. So does Kristian Huselius' long list of injuries, including a lower body injury that has him out of the lineup. Again.
So whom does that leave? These are the five best Columbus candidates to be on new teams when the dust settles.
1. Jeff Carter, C -- Carter is out with a separated shoulder, but the team remains hopeful he'll be back shortly after the All-Star break. Between the shoulder and a foot injury, it's been a rough first season in Columbus for Carter, who still leads the team in power-play goals (five) and trails only Nash with 10 goals despite playing just 30 games. Teams like San Jose, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Chicago, Toronto, Nashville and Detroit are looking to add top-six forwards, although many of those GMs would prefer to add a pending UFA rather than a center signed through 2022 on a deal worth $5.27 million annually.
Nash wouldn't mind more time with Carter to try to make things work but understands it's not his call. "It was one of the most exciting times in franchise history when we made that trade," Nash said of the deal that sent Jakub Voracek, a first-round pick (Sean Couturier) and third-round pick (Nick Cousins) to Philadelphia for Carter. "I've always said I don't try to play GM or try to make those decisions. Scott does a great job with that. It's a tough job to do."
2. Vinny Prospal, F -- Prospal is the more traditional pending UFA veteran forward who usually gets dealt at the deadline, and there's a lot to like for contenders. He's been productive this season for the Blue Jackets, with 30 points in 47 games and playoff experience during his time with Philadelphia, Ottawa, Tampa and the Rangers. He'd be a natural fit back in New York, where he knows John Tortorella well from their time together with the Rangers and Lightning.
3. Derick Brassard, C -- He's an interesting one. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2006 draft is the kind of player who could end up blossoming on another team. In dealing Nikita Filatov and Voracek, Howson has shown that he's not afraid to cut bait with former high-end prospects, but Brassard has played better under new coach Todd Richards, who upped his ice time.
"Honestly, I'm just having fun playing my game. Don't worry about anything," Brassard said. "The team is playing better too. Guys are playing with energy; we're working hard. I think it reflects on everyone's game."
He's learning to deal with the trade rumors that grew even more heated after his agent, Allan Walsh, hammered former Columbus coach Scott Arniel with a statement in early December. "It's been probably three months; it's always on my mind," Brassard said of trade talk. "Who knows what's going to happen? If it's me, it's me. When you're not winning, teammates are leaving. Whatever happens, happens. You can't control that."
He'd be a great fit in Chicago, where GM Stan Bowman has shown an inclination to trade for players midseason who have years remaining on their contract. The Blackhawks have the need, assets and salary cap space to add Brassard, who comes with a cap hit of $3.2 million through the 2013-14 season.
4. Antoine Vermette, C -- Vermette is another player who wouldn't be the typical rental, with an annual average salary of $3.75 million through 2014-15, but there's enough demand right now for top-six talent that he could be an interesting option for contenders. He's had a rough year, with 19 points in 47 games, but before this season had been one of Howson's best transactions, acquiring him in a deal that sent Pascal Leclaire to Ottawa. Like Brassard, Vermette is playing some of his best hockey of the season right now. He has four points in his past five games and has been strong in the faceoff circle, where he's won at least 60 percent of his faceoffs in every game during that stretch.
5. Samuel Pahlsson, C -- A pending unrestricted free agent, Pahlsson hasn't had any serious conversations with Howson about staying in Columbus beyond this season, making him a strong candidate to be moved before the deadline. He's the kind of depth forward contending teams love to add for a playoff run. He can bolster a penalty kill, win faceoffs and knows what it takes to win a Stanley Cup from his time as a key member of the Ducks team that won it all in 2007. "We haven't had a fun year, [but] I can't say that I want out," he said. "I want to be here and win games here. If they trade me, that's what happens." While he doesn't want to leave, rejoining a playoff race is appealing to the longtime winner. "That's where everyone wants to be; that's where everyone in this room wants to be," he said. "We're not, we're not happy about it. All I can do is take it as it comes."

Obviously, you bought your 3 because you wanted to buy a variety of features and options and driver satisfaction both impeccably combined into one vehicle. Mazda automobile owners have become used to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their 3 around town. When your Mazda 3 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values long-lasting quality in their automobile. Your Mazda dealership isn't the only place to buy the highest quality parts to repair your 3.
Thanks to one crucial innovation last century, we now can experience a comfortable and versatile ride quality. Without the CV axle shaft, there would be no independent suspension and the ride in your Mazda 3 would be much more harsh. The Mazda 3 CV axle shaft uses Rzeppa or double-cardan joints that allow for a great degree of movement in the shaft so that it can stay connected to the wheel hub while it travels up and down relative to the transmission or differential. When CV axles get damaged it usually results in complete loss of usability of those axles and the drive wheels they are attached to.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Mazda 3 part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Need 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 Mazda 3 CV Axle Shaft parts? We've got them right here.

Sample Content
This story is about 22,000 words or about 80 standard book pages.
A young woman in a black costume that looked a lot like what maids wore in the bigger manors in larger cities stepped in between him and the thief.
"I'm Sin…"
"Hey, that's my mark," the big man interrupted.
The young woman glanced over her shoulder as the man reached out to grab her by the hair.
Blood splattered the roof, the air and Sinth as the woman turned in one swift movement and brought her forearm around to smash the man across the face so hard that his neck snapped with a loud pop.
She brought her fist down low and caught him in the middle, which brought him up as he breathed his last breath, and hit him several times in the stomach – breaking ribs as she did.
The woman finished off the display with one hard focused punch to the man's chest. There was the sound of bone shattering as something solid broke the man's breast plate.
She turned back to Sinth. It had only taken five or six counts of the breath to demolish the huge man. Sinth edged back in fear.

|This article is about a/an episode in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger .
Victory! The Sports Game (ビクトリー! スポーツしょうぶだ Bikutorī! Supōtsu Shōbu da) is the thirty-second episode of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
When Debo Spokorn attacks, the Kyoryugers attempt to use Yayoi's newly developed Victory Zyudenchi, but Spocorn insists that they play a fair game of basketball, forcing Daigo to teach the others how to properly play the game.
Giving the Kyoryugers additional Zyudenchi, Yayoi presents them with two new Zyudenchi: the Victory Zyudenchi and the Maximum Zyudenchi. Before Yayoi can explain what the items can do, the Kyoryugers are alerted to an attack by Dogold and Aigallon at a competition. Intercepting them, the Kyoryugers are confronted by Dogold's Debo Monster Debo Spokorn and his specially trained Zorima. Outmatched by the Zorimas' basketball themed method attack, unable to use the Victory Zyudenchi, the Kyoryugers use the Futabain Zyudenchi to get the basketball. When Debo Spokorn insists that act to be unfair sportsmanship, Kyoryu Red decides that they would settle with a game of basketball tomorrow. When asked why that just could finish the bad guys off while the chance, Kyoryu Red explains that maybe training will help them learn how to use the Victory Zyudenchi. With Utsusemimaru serving as their manager, despite a rough start, the Kyoryugers eventually learn their strengths as a basketball team. Back at the Spirit Base, realizing Aigallon benefits from many participants depressed over the competition cancelled, Yayoi feels something is still off about Dogold's involvement. By the next day, having changed the game format to soccer at the last minute, Debo Spokorn reveals himself to be a distraction to hold the Kyoryugers at bay long enough for Dogold to obtain the Lost Stone of Futabain within a trophy. Despite the turn of events, with Utsusemimaru held at bay by the Cambrima, the Kyoryugers use their basketball skills to beat Debo Spokorn's team while Torin holds Dogold off so Kyoryu Violet can get the trophy and people to safety. With Kyoryu Violet joining them as they take their fight outside, Kyoryu Red Carnival uses the Victory Zyudenchi so he and his Kyoryuger teammates can defeat Debo Spokorn with their Five Zyudenryu Victory Finish. Forced by a livid Dogold, Luckyuro enlarges both Debo Spokorn and his team with Pteraidenoh Western taking out the Zorima, Plezu-Oh Ankydon wiping out the Cambrima. After being weakened by Kyoryuzin Baseball, Debo Spokorn is destroyed by Bakurestsu Kyoryuzin. Later, as they have obtained Futabain's Lost Stone, Utsusemimaru feels a bit left out of not getting to play basketball.

- At the end of the Super Hero Time, Kouta Kazuraba takes the Hero Quick-List Challenge, having to quickly list the first five Gaim Riders (Kamen Rider Gaim, Kamen Rider Baron, Kamen Rider Zangetsu, Kamen Rider Ryugen, Kamen Rider Guridon) and the six Kyoryugers (Kyoryu Red Carnival, Kyoryu Black, Kyoryu Blue, Kyoryu Green, Kyoryu Pink, Kyoryu Gold) in eight seconds. He successfully manages to list all eleven heroes.
- Several Gaim characters appeared in the ending for the second straight episode in the "dance video" segment.

A/N: Many thanks to MsKathy for beta'ing and ECullenitis for prereading. Both are wonderful, irreplaceable friends.
College and booze do crazy things to your sensibilities. I'm fully aware of that, and I've never been the kind of person who tries to pretend like I'm not affected by the sorority girl, party lifestyle. Over the last three years of school, I'd done my fair share of things-that-probably-wouldn't-have-happened-if-I'd-been-sober. I'd had random hook ups. I'd made out with four people in one night. I'd flashed my tits to a crowd of belligerent guys. I'd danced on bar tops. I'd shotgunned and bonged beers. I had even kissed a few girls just to tease the guys.
But none of that could have prepared me for her.
For whatever reason, my campus didn't have sorority houses. The fraternities each had a house, but the sororities were all given their own suite in one of the dorms. On every floor there were two wings, so that meant two sororities on each level of the building. That was where I first saw her.
She was tall, blonde, and gorgeous - pretty typical for her sorority - but she stood out from her sisters. It wasn't just her beauty, though. She always smiled and said hello to me, even though we had never met. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but there was something behind those brief, simple greetings.
I eventually learned that her name was Rosalie Hale, and the description I was given of her was the complete opposite of what I had seen. To me, she was warm and friendly; everyone else described her as a spoiled ice queen. I had never seen that side of her, though. Then again, I had never seen her out and about on campus either. I shrugged it off because, really, what did it matter? We weren't friends, and it wasn't my place to defend her when I hadn't even known her name for months of living on the same floor of our dorm.
Then one Saturday night, we had our first run-in outside of our building.
I was at my favorite fraternity house for a big party, and as had been happening for the past few months, I ended up in my friend Emmett's bedroom. He lived in one of the few singles in the house, and it was right next to the bathroom. Senior privileges, he called it. Emmett and I had been friends since I was a freshman and he was a sophomore, but it had never really been more than that until recently. Well, there had been flirtations and general goofing off, but he had a serious girlfriend he'd been with since high school. Her name was Kate and she went to school two hours away, but they managed to make it work.
When this school year started, however, Emmett returned as a single man. He wasn't looking for anything serious so soon, and neither was I, so our friendship and flirting gave way to a convenient fuck-buddy relationship. It was fun, irresponsible, and exciting, and it just worked for us.
I certainly have no complaints about having a tall, buff, charming guy with a killer smile as a fuck buddy. Not to mention what he can do with his...well, everything.
That night, we found ourselves in his room a little earlier than usual. He had pre-partied pretty hard with a couple of the guys, so when I showed up in a short black skirt and a midriff revealing tank top, he dragged me upstairs and locked the door behind us. I had done a little pre-partying myself back at the dorm, so I was just as worked up and ready to play.
We made our way to his couch, and in no time, I was straddling his lap as he pulled my tank top down to suck one of my nipples into his mouth while his other hand made it's way between my legs, fingering me with very enjoyable vigor.
"Fuck, Em...right there," I moaned, dropping my head down to kiss his forehead. He hummed against my chest, sending a vibration over my skin that made me shiver. His fingers continued to pump, adding a little more pressure in all the right places.
I was so close - so fucking close - when his bedroom door was thrust open, letting light and the unmuffled sound of loud party music pour in. I froze, turning to look behind me and see who the fuck had interrupted us, and Emmett's mouth left my skin. He quickly pulled my shirt back up, but his fingers remained inside me, unmoving.
"What the fuck?" he spat, staring toward the door.
I shared those sentiments, but when my eyes adjusted, I could see the figure of a girl.
"Oh shit, I'm sorry," she said quickly. "I was just looking for the bathroom. This guy won't leave me the fuck alone and I needed to get away, but...oh fuck me. You don't want to hear this. I'm just...yeah."
"Could you at least close the door?" Emmett asked impatiently. The girl did, but to our surprise, she pushed it shut from the inside. I was about to tell her to get the fuck out when I realized who she was.
"Hey, you're Rosalie, right?" I asked. I gently grabbed Emmett's wrist and directed him to release me. He did so unwillingly, pouting in the most adorable manner as his dark curls fell over his forehead, but I just kissed his cheek and turned off his lap to stand up.
"Umm, yeah. You're Bella?"
"Yeah," I said, surprised that she knew my name, "and this is my friend Emmett."
"Friend, huh?" she replied, a wry smile curling her lips upward.
Emmett stood finally, adjusting his junk, and he wrapped his heavily muscled arm around my shoulder. "Well, you know how it is."
I tipped my face up toward his just in time to see him wink at Rosalie. There was something there that I couldn't miss in his playful demeanor. Emmett was checking this girl out, and the lust practically oozed off him. Any other girl probably would have felt jealous, especially considering what he and I were just doing, but for some reason, it didn't bother me. At all.
Honestly, I couldn't blame him. Rosalie was taller than most girls, and she looked like she would fit in better on a magazine cover than a frat party. Her snug clothes accentuated the ample shape of her breasts and the curved flair of her hips, but her look was effortless - a sharp contrast from the usual slew of party-goers who dressed in revealing outfits to lure guys and get laid. In a word, she was stunning.
Nope, can't fault Emmett for drooling over that.
Rosalie shook her head at him and looked down at the floor. "I can go. I'm really sorry for all barging in. I've never been to this house and my friend ditched me for some dude, so I'm just going to head out."
"Don't go," Emmett told her, which made her pause from turning to leave. "The night is young. Stay and party with us."
She looked at me, and I saw the question in her eyes. It was the silent request for permission. She obviously understood that we had been preoccupied before she burst into the room (which apparently had not been locked), and she was checking to make sure it was okay with me if she stuck around. For some unexplainable reason, I felt a compulsion to keep her there with us. I had never hung out with this girl or even spoken to her more than our greetings exchanged in passing, but I wanted to get to know her a little. I also wanted to see if she really was the bitch people made her out to be.
I just nodded and smiled in confirmation, waving her over to sit on the couch with me. Emmett pulled his desk chair over and sat down before hopping back up immediately and heading for the door.
"I'm gonna go down to the walk-in and grab some more beer. I couldn't fit it all in my mini fridge earlier."
"All right," I answered, smiling at him. He picked up his half-full can of beer from the table and held it out toward Rosalie, but she shook her head.
"I don't drink, but thanks."
"Huh," he muttered. "Well, I'll be right back. Make yourselves at home."
As he left, Rosalie and I sat back and looked at each other. I smiled slightly, unsure of what to say. It wasn't as though I really knew her or anything about her.
"You hang out here a lot?" she asked, breaking our silence.
"Umm, yeah. I'm friends with a lot of these guys."
"It seems like a fun house. So Emmett isn't your boyfriend?"
I shook my head, dropping my eyes. "Not so much," I answered hesitantly. It wasn't that I was ashamed of our arrangement, but you never know how other people are going to react to such...untraditional behavior.
"That's cool," she replied lightly. "You're open-minded. Nothing wrong with that. I like it."
There was something else in the tone of her voice and her unreadable expression when I looked back at her that I just couldn't put my finger on. It was as if she meant something else that her words hadn't specifically said, but I didn't really get it. That made me feel nervous for some odd reason, so I hopped up and quickly walked over to Emmett's stereo, fiddling with the controls to turn it on.
"You like DMB?" I asked, glancing over my shoulder at her.
"Ugh...yes, but my roommate has been on a Dave binge lately, and it's driving me up the fucking wall. What else does he have here?"
I glanced at the CDs Emmett had loaded into his stereo. I didn't see his iPod anywhere, so this limited selection would have to do.
"Umm, some hip hop mix, Metallica, The White Stripes, Beyonce - oh my god, I'm going to rag on him for that one! - and some Tim McGraw."
"Well, he certainly has a variety, doesn't he?" she asked, giggling with me. I nodded and tried to control my fit of laughter at his strange selection. "I don't really care. Let's just put on the Beyonce to fuck with him."
I turned on the album and adjusted the volume before walking back over to the couch. We spoke for another couple of minutes about our majors and hometowns, but the conversation became slightly awkward; a tension had developed between us for reasons I couldn't pinpoint. I wasn't really sure what else to say or if I should address that thing I was feeling.
In our silence, that indistinguishable look returned to Rosalie's eyes, and she stared at me, leaning forward slightly. "So, Bella...just how open-minded are you?"
"I, uh, I don't know. Why?" I asked, shifting nervously. There was just something I couldn't figure out about her, but I couldn't deny the compulsion I felt to stay where I was, looking at her and being close.
Without another word, she turned on the couch and pushed me back against the cushions. Hovering over me, she smirked deviously and leaned down, pressing her mouth to mine.
"Is this okay?" she asked between small kisses, and before I could really think or process anything, I felt her fingers graze up my side, skimming over my exposed waist and sending a jolt through my whole body. It was like the shock of static electricity but all over, and it caused my head to fuzz up and all thoughts to leave me.
"Yeah," I mumbled. Suddenly my lips were responding to hers and my body adjusted so that I was spread out on the couch comfortably as she lay on top of me.
I had never done anything like this. Drunkenly kissing my sorority sisters to get a reaction was completely different from what was happening, and even though all those times had been about getting a laugh, not being turned on, I was definitely into this.
My mind was reeling as Rosalie continued to pepper kisses on and around my lips. I had another girl on top of me and I liked it. I wanted more, and it was no longer about male or female or anything else. There was a strange energy crackling in the air around us, and I realized that the curiosity I had felt about her in the past - in our casual greetings in the dorm - had paved the path for this. She was alluring and had piqued my interest, and it seemed that all of that had been the same for her.
At some point, my hands had found their way around her shoulders and into her hair, holding her to me. I wanted more, wanted to explore her body and know her in a new and exciting way, so my mouth parted without hesitation, and then we were kissing - really kissing - and it was unlike anything I had ever experienced. My desire, my lust, and my passionate responses to her brought new feelings to the surface, and I scrambled to understand them. I had a nice buzz, but I definitely wasn't drunk, so this wasn't just some silly game brought about by lowered inhibitions. I liked being with her this way. Her body and her movements were so different from a man's, and the way she smelled was enticing in a completely foreign and delicious way.
Her hands continued to move over my body as our kissing grew more heated. Once more, I was reminded of how completely different this was from my silly kisses with other girls. Right then, I was focused solely on us, doing whatever I could to take in more of her and show her how she made me feel.
I surprised myself once more when my hands skimmed down her back and I curled my fingers around the hem of her shirt. She was sexy and erotic with her lithe body and full breasts rubbing against mine, and I wanted to feel more. I tugged up, pulling the thin fabric over her back and urging her to lift herself up so I could get it over her head. When she complied, I was met with a delighted grin that made my lower body clench with want. I immediately reached around for her bra clasp, needing more of her - all of her - to be exposed. The red satin fell down her arms, and my eyes widened at the sight of her beautiful breasts, adorned with nipple piercings that made my heart thump hard in my chest.
"Holy shit," I breathed, reaching up to cup her in my hands. I squeezed tentatively, taking in the way the weight of her breasts felt in my hands and experimenting with the pressure I applied. This was so new, but I didn't feel hesitant, just curious and excited.
"Mmm..." she hummed appreciatively, and I couldn't help the hint of pride I felt. She was perched over me, on display like a golden-haired goddess, and she liked the way I was touching her.
"I've never done this," I admitted, scooting myself back so I was leaning on a pillow. It allowed me to angle her body down and kiss between her pretty tits. "Have you?"
"Yeah," she squeaked, and I felt that smug happiness rise again. I had done that to her!
I nodded against her skin, lightly kissing my way toward her collar bone. "Tell me if I do anything wrong," I whispered, allowing myself a moment of self-consciousness.
Rosalie stroked my hair and pushed her chest out in silent demand of more attention. "Just keep going."
I still couldn't rationalize where these feelings came from or how or why or what all I wanted to happen here, but there was no part of me that wanted to stop. I knew that Emmett had been gone for a while and would probably be back at any moment, but those thoughts had been shoved so far back in my mind at that point, overcrowded by my lustful need for this beautiful woman's body, that I simply didn't care.
I cupped one of her breasts and slowly slid my lips over the slope of flesh until I reached the center. Pulling back, I exhaled a hot breath and watched her rosy nipple pucker and tighten. Carefully, the tip of my tongue peeked out and touched her, and we both groaned at the contact.
My lips folded around her nipple and the small silver hoop that ran through it, and I gave a light tug. I allowed my tongue to swirl around the way I liked Emmett to do to me, and I could feel in her reactions that she liked it too. Emboldened, I sucked on the piercing and carefully took it between my teeth. It clanked, a sound that sent an exciting shiver down my spine, and I tugged lightly.
"Oh, fuck," Rosalie moaned, and I smiled, continuing that pattern for a few more seconds. My attention quickly moved to her other breast, but a hand remained on the first one, toying with her piercing.
From the sounds she was making and the way her body writhed over me, struggling to stay upright in my lap, I really thought she might come just from that. However, she yanked herself away from me suddenly and slid down the couch, frantically flipping my skirt up and reaching for my panties.
She looked up, holding my gaze as I allowed her to pull them over my ass and down my legs. I kicked them away and watched in wonder as she positioned my legs - one thrown over the back of the couch and my other leg bent with my foot perched on the coffee table. Then she was reaching under me, lifting my ass while she descended on my wet pussy, licking up and down before concentrating her attention on my clit.
I cried out and bucked my hips toward her, trying to watch as she continued to work between my legs. Her slim fingers joined in, slipping inside my body and working slowly, and she pulled her mouth away from me. She looked into my eyes, purposefully fucking me with her fingers and gauging my reactions, taunting me with her devious smirk.
"You're fucking amazing," I said, for lack of anything more eloquent.
She graced me with a wider smile and licked her lips, moaning a little as she tasted me there. "I've wanted to do this for so long." Her attention returned to pleasuring me, and my heart rate sped as her words repeated in my mind.
She had wanted this? Wanted me? It hardly made sense that someone like her could want an average girl like me, but I wasn't going to question any of it right then. Instead, I opened my legs farther, reaching down to run my fingers through her silky hair.
My back was arched and my head was thrown back against the couch cushion when I heard the door open.
"Sorry that took so long, ladies. I got caught up talking to some of the broth...ers." He paused for a moment. "Holy. Fucking. Shit."
Rosalie turned to look at Emmett at the same moment I did, and I seriously had no idea what to think or feel or do in those seconds that seemed to last forever.
"What the fuck did I miss?" he asked, and I could hear the astonished wonder and deep lust in his tone.
I began to speak, but Rosalie cut me off. "Wanna watch, big boy?" she quipped in a seductive, honey-like voice.
Emmett gulped and nodded his head, unable to say anything else. With Rosalie's gesture, he sank into another chair, sitting on the edge of it and watching us with rapt attention as Rosalie resumed her actions. My eyes closed, but my head stayed tipped to the side, and when I could manage to open them, I watched Emmett from the small distance between us. His hand grazed over his shorts, and there was no doubt in my mind that he was rock hard and probably more turned on than he had been before Rosalie arrived. He tore his eyes away from her long enough to look at me, and I stared hard at him, licking my lips to encourage him to relieve the pressure.
When I decided to go out that night, I never in a million years would have imagined that I'd be having sex with a girl while my good friend and fuck buddy jacked off to our escapades. It was crazy - absolutely crazy - but I had never been so turned on in my entire fucking life.
Emmett unzipped his pants and pulled his cock out, quickly stroking as Rosalie drove me closer to my climax. Her fingers were intentionally slow, but her tongue and lips worked quickly, creating the most amazing, tight sensations through my pussy and entire body. My peak came quickly and my hips thrust upward as I screamed in ecstasy. Emmett grunted and groaned from his chair, and I opened my eyes to see him furiously fisting his cock.
Rosalie slowly withdrew her fingers and gave me a final lick. I looked at her, smiling like a fool as my breathing slowed.
"Do you like guys?" I asked her, knowing what Emmett needed but not wanting to invite him over unless she was okay with it. There were still so many opportunities for us to explore, and I didn't want to stop this crazy game we had started.
"Oh yeah," she replied smoothly, glancing at Emmett and looking him up and down. "Especially ones that look like that," she said, winking. I wasn't sure which one of us that wink was meant for, but it didn't really matter.
"Come on, Emmett," I beckoned, sitting up. Within seconds, he'd sprung to his feet, pushing his shorts down and hastily shoving the coffee table away at the same time.
"All those clothes," he said authoritatively, pointing at Rosalie and me. "Get them the fuck off."
I smiled, feeling my belly turn with anticipation, and quickly discarded the rest of my outfit. Rosalie was a bit more playful as she kicked off her heels and stripped out of her curve-hugging jeans.
No panties. Fuuuuuuuuuck.
Emmett walked right over to her and left only inches between their bodies. He cupped Rosalie's face in his hands and looked at her with a mischievous spark in his dark blue eyes. His nose grazed over her skin, inhaling as it made contact. "She tastes good, doesn't she?" he asked, and my legs shook. His simple words were quickly undoing me.
"Best I've ever had," Rosalie replied, waggling her eyebrows at him and smiling when she glanced at me. "Wanna taste?" The tip of her tongue peeked out, swiping at the corner of her mouth.
I wanted that tongue back on me, all over my body.
I watched as Emmett laughed loudly and told her, "Fuck yes!" before smashing his mouth against hers, and they kissed for a minute, deep and greedy, sharing my essence on lips and tongues. Even though Emmett was my friend and my fuck, seeing them together did very, very happy things to me.
When I grew tired of being a spectator, too anxious and horny to wait any longer, we all came together, first standing and exchanging kisses and touches, but then we fell to our knees, continuing the cycle. It was too much to keep up with, and yet I couldn't get enough of either of them.
Emmett insisted that I needed to do something to thank Rosalie for getting me off, and even though I was a tiny bit nervous about how to pleasure another woman, I wanted to.
Then an idea came to me, and I felt like an epic fucking genius.
"Show me how," I told him, watching his eyes widen.
We laid Rosalie down on the floor because his bed was lofted and too small for three of us, and we positioned ourselves on either side of her.
She watched, her pretty face painted with anticipation and her ocean eyes sparkling. Emmett bent down and kissed her deeply, working his way over to her ear. When he sat up and looked at me, I mimicked his actions, kissing her and sliding my lips to nip at her ear lobe. Then he kissed down her neck and attached his mouth to her breast. As he continued to suck on her and play with her piercing, I started at her neck on my side and tongued my way down, drawing little pictures in kisses until I was also attached to her chest, lavishing her with more attention. She moaned and whispered our names, thrusting up toward us until Emmett commanded that we stop.
His fingers tickled down her stomach in swirls that I mirrored, and we each drew circles around her hip bones. My hand remained there, teasing and torturing her as I watched him run his fingers to her inner thigh. He looked at me in between touching her and glancing up to observe her reactions.
I was stroking her thigh when Emmett's fingertips teased the delicate folds of Rosalie's pussy. I could see the way her arousal wet his fingers, and it made me want her - want both of them - so much fucking more.
"You ready for the good stuff, Bella baby?" he asked.
"Yes please, Professor McCarty," I teased.
Rosalie laughed a little at that, but the sound quickly turned into a strangled moan when he stopped at her clit, circling his fingers on the bundle of nerves. Just as soon as he had begun, he pulled away and placed his hands on his own bent legs.
"Your turn."
I smiled at Rosalie, positioning myself comfortably, and glanced at Emmett one more time. I was familiar with how he spoke, looked, and behaved during intimate moments, and he was definitely there right then. Nodding, I moved my hand inward and was met with the warm, wet, rose petal soft flesh of her sex. She gasped at my touch, urging me to continue. Taking a deep breath, I ran my fingertips up and down for a few moments, getting to know her body, which was so much like my own yet so different from when I touched myself. Wanting to tease a little more, I repeated Emmett's demonstration and moved up to her clit. I worked a little slower than he had, then sped up for a few seconds before tapering off and stopping altogether.
"Don't stop...please," Rosalie whimpered, and Emmett and I both smiled.
"No worries, sweet thing," he promised. Catching my eyes, he moved his hand back to her, slipping a finger inside her pussy and pulsing it in and out for several rounds. I could see and hear that Rosalie loved what he was doing, and I wanted to share in it. I bounced in anticipation, waiting for my turn, but still observing and trying to learn from him.
I coaxed her pleasure with my words, describing how well I knew what Emmett could do, just with his hands. She replied in breathy words of agreement, reaching out to me and running in fingertips along my arm. I smiled and continued to watch Emmett and learn from his demonstration.
Even though I couldn't see his fingers, I could tell from the way his hand was moving that he was swirling the one that was inside her. Rosalie pressed her hips up, seeking more, but he pulled out and gestured for me to take over.
I was excited - I couldn't deny that. It was so strange and this entire situation was like some crazy drug and alcohol induced porno dream, but I was in deep, wanting and needing to keep going. I ran my fingers between her folds once more and my middle finger easily slipped inside her already drenched pussy.
I felt like I wasn't doing things right, even though Emmett seemed to approve of my actions, but it was Rosalie chanting my name that ensured me that I was doing everything properly...and quite well. It was a thrill unlike anything I had ever experienced. Emmett allowed me to go on longer than he had, yet when I tried to stop, he grabbed my hand and placed his under mine. His palm was to the back of my hand, and he aligned our fingers.
Slowly, he guided me between Rosalie's legs again, and this time he pushed our middle fingers into her...together.
The sound Rosalie made nearly made me come. It was by far the sexiest, most beautiful melody in the whole fucking world, and I knew that was because I had caused it. She was crazy under our fingers as Emmett led our movements and we finger fucked her together. He closed the gap between us and kissed me hard, locking our tongues and lips in a fierce embrace.
That went on for a while as Rosalie moaned and rocked in our hands, and when Emmett pulled his away, he whispered, "Two fingers," to me. I obeyed him, continuing to work her body closer and closer to orgasm.
Once I felt like I'd developed a comfortable rhythm, I placed my other hand on her breast, massaging her and teasing her nipple. Emmett stayed back for a few minutes, just watching the show, but he eventually lay himself down perpendicular from Rosalie and leaned over her pussy. As I fingered her, faster and a little harder, he opened his mouth over her pubic bone, licking down her bare skin to her clit and sucking on her. It only took a few minutes of him licking and nipping at her that way, combined with my attention, to finish her off. There were so many sounds - the noises of our actions combined with Rosalie's cries, and the appreciative moans Emmett and I released - that it was nearly too much to comprehend. When Rosalie finally came, we collapsed on the floor, laughing and smiling at the high we were all experiencing.
I began to curl myself into her side, reaching out toward Emmett to do the same, but a phone rang, interrupting us. I didn't recognize the sound, but when Rosalie jumped up, I understood that it was hers. She shuffled around for her jeans, her slim, tan body swaying in the most enticing ways, and pulled her cell phone out of the pocket.
"Hello? Hey, I can't hear you," she said loudly to whoever was calling. "What? You're where? All right, I'll meet you by the door in a couple minutes. By. The. Door." Her voice was loud, and I could only assume it was her friend who had disappeared, somewhere else in the noisy, crowded party.
She ended the call and sighed heavily, looking down at us on the floor and frowning slightly. "I really don't want to go, but my asshole roommate needs me."
I pouted back at her, wishing she could stay and play a little longer. I was scared that once she left it would all be over for good, and I didn't want that to be the case.
"Well shit," Emmett huffed. "That really sucks. You sure?"
"Un-fucking-fortunately, yes," she replied. She pulled her bra and shirt back on and shimmied back into her pants. Glancing around to make sure she hadn't left anything else behind, she walked toward us. Emmett and I each received a quick kiss, and then she was at the door. "Let's do this again sometime." With that, she blew us one more kiss and disappeared.
"Damn..." Emmett muttered, and I nodded in agreement.
I stood and walked across the room, and I heard him whimper unhappily.
"Hey! You're not leaving too, are you?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Hell no!" I said with a huge grin. "Do you have any idea how fucking worked up I am right now? And it wouldn't be very fair to leave you in your...current condition," I teased, wiggling my finger in a circle as I pointed toward his stiff cock.
Walking over to the door, I made sure it was really locked this time, then I opened his desk drawer.
As I stalked toward him, I doubled back and changed the music on the stereo. Country music blared from the speakers, and when I looked at Emmett again, his eyebrows were raised in question. I held up the object I had taken from his drawer and grinned.
"Baby, I'm ready to ride you all night long after all that. I thought the cowboy tunes would be appropriate."
He roared with boisterous laughter, sitting up and grabbing my hips to drag me to the floor with him. His hands and lips were everywhere at once, and I giggled right along as he licked a long line from my belly button to my chin.
"I love the way you think, baby B," he said, taking the condom and getting ready for me. "And I'll tell you the truth, little girl - that was the craziest, sexiest stunt you've ever pulled, and I'm pretty sure you'll be able to feel me for days by the time I'm done with you."
The dirty talk did nothing to help my outrageously aroused state, and I angled my legs around his hips, lifting them up and securing them around his waist.
"You promise?" I asked sweetly.
"Damn right I do." He grinned, pushing his cock into me with a forceful thrust. "And B?"
"Yeah?" I choked out as the intoxicating sensations of his body consuming mine took hold.
"You'd better get that girl's number, because we are totally doing that again."
"Don't worry, Em. I know where she lives..."

Lord I Want You (2 Of 3) by Ken Trivette
This content is part of a series.Lord I Want You (2 Of 3)
Series: At the Feet of Jesus
Ken Trivette
John 11:30-32
1. Annie Sherwood Hawks, was sitting by an open window one bright June morning, when she was filled with a sense of the Lord's nearness. She thought to herself, "How could one live without Him either in joy or pain for any period of time." Sitting there she took her pencil and wrote the words to the beloved hymn, "I Need Thee Every Hour." The chorus goes:
I Need Thee; O I need Thee,
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee!
2. I, with Mrs. Hawks, wonder how anybody lives without the Lord, whether it be in times of joy or pain. I wonder how anyone makes it without the Lord, especially in the times of pain. In those times when the cares distress and the burdens press, how does anybody make it without the Lord.
3. I think of the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 124:1-4, "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul." If it had not been for the Lord there would have been many times that my soul would have been overwhelmed. If it had not been for the Lord there would have been times when I would have been swallowed up by the things I was going through. Thank God, in those times the Lord was near. Blessed be His name, when I needed Him, He was there. I am glad I did not have to face those times alone.
4. In our scripture we find Mary at a time in her life when she needed the Lord. We have learned that each time we find Mary mentioned in the scripture she is always found at the feet of Jesus. In Luke 10 we saw her sitting at the feet of Jesus. There her actions seem to say, "Lord, I want you." Now in John 11 we find her falling at the feet of Jesus." Her actions seem to say, "Lord, I need you." It is ...

Description: In 480 B.C., Xerxes, the King of Persia, led an invasion of mainland Greece. Its success should have been a formality. For seventy years, victory—rapid, spectacular victory—had seemed the birthright of the Persian Empire. In the space of a single generation, they had swept across the Near East, shattering ancient kingdoms, storming famous cities, putting together an empire which stretched from India to the shores of the Aegean. As a result of those conquests, Xerxes ruled as the most powerful man on the planet. Yet somehow, astonishingly, against the largest expeditionary force ever assembled, the Greeks of the mainland managed to hold out. The Persians were turned back. Greece remained free. Had the Greeks been defeated in the epochal naval battle at Salamis, not only would the West have lost its first struggle for independence and survival, but it is unlikely that there would ever have been such an entity as the West at all. Tom Holland's brilliant new book describes the very first "clash of Empires" between East and West. As he did in the critically praisedRubicon, he has found extraordinary parallels between the ancient world and our own. There is no other popular history that takes in the entire sweep of the Persian Wars, and no other classical historian, academic or popular, who combines scholarly rigor with novelistic depth with a worldly irony in quite the fashion that Tom Holland does.

For the past several weeks I've been telling you that I would be working with Bluebird and American Express to document my experiences using the card over the next month or so. I told you how simple it was to sign up for the card, receive it and register your bank account to add money to it. Last week I told you how you could use Bluebird for the holidays to keep you on track with your spending!
This week I want to tell you about how I've used Bluebird as a money management tool to save up for a new Pandora charm I wanted! I love my Pandora charm bracelet but sometimes the charms can be expensive! I have had my eye on this flower basket charm that costs $95 – not a budget breaker but still not a part of my monthly budget! I decided to use Bluebird to buy this for myself by setting aside some money every week that I would have used to buy coffee or lunch out during the week.
Each week I consciously decided to make my coffee at home and bring my lunch to work instead of eating out. This saved me about $20 per week at least! At the end of each week I deposited the money into my Bluebird account and at the end of 5 weeks I had enough money to get my charm! Using Bluebird as a budgeting tool was very easy and since you can only spend what you have on the card it's foolproof!
Some key features of Bluebird:
- checking and debit alternative with lower fees than traditional bank accounts
- Roadside Assistance
- Purchase Protection
- easy loading of funds -online through a bank account such as a savings or checking account, debit cards, direct deposit, remote check capture via the mobile app and cash loading at Walmart registers.
- make purchases wherever American Express is accepted
- pay bills, online or via the app
- create subaccounts
- get cash access at ATMs
I love the Bluebird tagline – Loaded with Features. Not Fees. Bank account fees are increasing all the time and many banks now charge per transaction! With Bluebird you'll have an alternative and much lower fees and in many cases no fee! Here is the fee schedule:
As you can see Bluebird provides a great value! You can sign up for a FREE card (doesn't impact your credit) online at Bluebird or you can purchase a kit for $5 at the Bluebird kiosk inside your local Walmart!
I am working with American Express on a sponsored Bluebird campaign. My opinions are my own.

Champion Wildcats can't handle Curry, Blue Devils
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA — Seth Curry scored 23 points and No. 9 Duke held off a furious comeback by No. 3 Kentucky, beating the defending national champions 75-68 Tuesday night in the first matchup between the storied programs since 2001.
Duke (1-1) appeared to be in control, even with Mason Plumlee on the bench in foul trouble. The Blue Devils ripped off a 13-3 run, capped by Rasheed Sulaimon's 3-pointer that made it 58-44 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining.
But Kentucky (1-1) wasn't done, rallying like the defending champ even though this is essentially a whole new team. The Wildcats outscored Duke 17-6 over the next six minutes and actually had a chance to tie it.
Julius Mays missed a 3-pointer with the Blue Devils clinging to a 64-61 lead.
Curry made sure youthful Kentucky didn't get any closer. He schooled freshman guard Archie Goodwin on a drive that essentially clinched the win.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Tim Hardaway Jr. had 17 points and six rebounds, and Michigan advanced to the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off with a victory over Cleveland State.
It was the third straight victory by at least 30 points for the Wolverines (3-0), who shot 51 percent against a Cleveland State (2-1) team coming off an overtime win the day before.
Nik Stauskas scored 15 points, and Trey Burke added 12 points and seven assists for Michigan, which broke off a 29-5 run to finish the first half for a 42-14 lead at the break.
Anton Grady led the Vikings with 15 points.
ATLANTA — Keith Appling scored 19 points, including a brilliant drive with 13.5 seconds left, and Michigan State rebounded from a season-opening loss with an upset of Kansas.
The Jayhawks (1-1) led 59-54 with 5 minutes remaining, but Michigan State (1-1) rallied.
Freshman Gary Harris scored 18 points.
Elijah Johnson led Kansas with 16 points.
Kansas center Jeff Withey, who played so well in last season's NCAA tournament, wasn't much of a factor. He was held to eight points and seven rebounds, along with four turnovers.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Phil Pressey scored 21 points and Laurence Bowers added 14 — all in the second half — to help Missouri rout Alcorn State.
After a rough first half, the Tigers (2-0) pulled away from the Braves. Missouri made just nine of its 39 attempts before the break and held a seven-point halftime advantage thanks to Pressey's deep 3-pointer with three seconds left.
Bowers hit three 3-pointers in the second half to help Missouri take command. The Tigers used an 18-3 run after the half to blow the game open.
LeAntwan Luckett scored 14 points and Anthony Nieves added 13 for Alcorn State (1-1).
STORRS, Conn. — Shabazz Napier scored 13 points and freshman Omar Calhoun added 12 to lead Connecticut over Vermont.
Holy Cross transfer R.J. Evans added 11 points and Tyler Olander had nine points and nine rebounds for UConn (2-0), which was playing its home opener after returning from Germany and an upset win over Michigan State last Friday in the Armed Forces Classic.
Luke Apfeld led Vermont (1-1) with nine points.
UConn's smothering defense made the difference in this one. The Huskies held Vermont to 30 percent shooting and just 15 baskets after limiting the Spartans to 37.5 percent on Friday.
CINCINNATI — Sean Kilpatrick scored 20 points and Cheikh Mbodj had four of Cincinnati's seven blocks to help lead the Bearcats over Mississippi Valley State.
The Bearcats (2-0) took control with a 23-4 run in the first half that featured a pair of 3-pointers by Cashmere Wright. The point guard had all of his 11 points in the take-control half.
JaQuon Parker added 13 points for the Bearcats, who shot 53.7 percent and dominated the boards 51-25. Cincinnati had its highest point total since a 105-69 win over North Carolina A&T on Dec. 30, 2005, under interim coach Andy Kennedy.
Davon Usher and Darryl Marshall scored 13 points apiece for MVSU (0-2).
SAN DIEGO — Jamaal Franklin had 28 points and 12 rebounds as San Diego State bounced back from a loss to Syracuse with a win over San Diego Christian of the NAIA.
The game had been scheduled for Sunday night, but was pushed back when SDSU's season-opening game against Syracuse on the USS Midway aircraft carrier was postponed from Friday night to Sunday afternoon because of the threat of rain. Syracuse won 62-49.
Chase Tapley scored 18 for SDSU (1-1).
Kevin Dawson scored 15 points and Kwaminique Brandon had 14 for San Diego Christian, which is located in suburban El Cajon.

Students of Philippines studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Philippines textbooks – for example Marcos Dynasty by [Sterling Seagrave], and The Battle of Leyte Gulf 23-26 October 1944 by [Thomas J. Cutler] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Philippines is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Philippines books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Philippines classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.
