The Big Buzz Behind Raw Goat's Milk
Some of you may be aware of how great raw, or unpasteurized, goat's milk is for humans, but did you know it's also a fantastic supplement for your pets? Raw goat's milk contains everything from vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, to protein, electrolytes, and fatty acids. No wonder goat's milk is sometimes referred to as the most complete food known. Let's break down the different ways raw goat's milk can benefit your pet!
Digestive Issues (colitis, diarrhea, IBS, and more): Raw goat's milk is absolutely packed with probiotics. In fact, there are over 200 species found in raw goat's milk! Plus there are prebiotics which is the nutrients probiotics need to thrive. Those, mixed with the enzymes found in raw goat's milk help the gut to establish healthy flora (bacteria, microbes, yeast, viruses, and protozoans) that will ease digestion and help alleviate any GI issues. Plus raw goat's milk is so easily digestible, the digestive system requires little to no work and absorbs it within 20 minutes. This also makes it almost 100 times better than probiotic powders or pills.
Underweight or malnutrition: Since raw goat's milk is a great source of easily absorbable protein (raw goat's milk forms a soft curd which makes it rapidly digestible), it's perfect for pets that need to pack on a little extra weight. It's also incredibly palatable so it's also the perfect food topper for pets that may be a little picky. Raw goat's milk can also be used as replacement milk for kittens and puppies.
Arthritis or other joint problems: The enzymes that also help to relieve digestion issues can also help to alleviate inflammation, swelling, and pain related to joint issues. They also help speed up tissue repair and improve circulation, all things that can help to alleviate arthritis symptoms.
Allergies: Raw goat's milk contains high levels of caprylic acid. This acid helps to fight yeast that often builds up in response to allergies (have you ever given your dog's paws a sniff? If you have, you might notice they smell a bit like corn chips. What you're smelling is yeast which naturally develops in that area. Allergies can make that yeast multiply which is why a dog who has allergies will often chew at their paws, among other things). Also, like the good flora that gets built up in your pet's GI system, raw goat's milk will also help that healthy flora to establish on the skin and in the ears which will help curb any infections that often are linked to allergies. Raw goat's milk is also a natural antihistamine.
Cancer: Many researchers have found that carotene (or Pro-Vitamin A) contains cancer preventing properties. The milk fat in goat's milk contains a higher evolved carotene that is readily available for the body to absorb. There is also a fat in raw goat's milk, called conjugated linoleic acid (or CLA), that is known as the cancer fighting fat. CLA has actually been shown in some cases to shrink cancer tumors.
Raw goat's milk can be fed to both dogs and cats, but chickens can also benefit too! It's a great source of the protein they need to molt. Worried your pet might react badly due to lactose-intolerance? Pasteurization removes the enzyme lactase which combines with lactose to make simple sugars that are easy to digest. If the lactase isn't there, the lactose remains harder to digest. If you use raw goat's milk, since it's not pasteurized, there should be no issues.
While not a complete diet on it's own, raw goat's milk can be the perfect addition to any diet whether dry, canned, or raw. We currently stock a frozen variety called Additional Answers that contains honey and cinnamon. All you have to do is thaw it in your fridge and it will last about 14 days. Look for a full review on all of the Answers products coming in the near future!

Alexis Silver (Mamazon The Movie) feels clammy and sticky on a hot day. She decides to refresh her lovely body with a cool shower. Just in time for you, her date, who's been staring at her shower through the bathroom window. The P.O.V. fuck action starts with hot oral cock-worship when you show up to sex her! You don't feel like taking this lovely, busty young woman out for a meal. You'll just fuck the shit out of her in her bedroom and make her big boobs all messy and sticky when she drains your balls. So Alexis's day started sticky and ended sticky.Sadly (at least for us), Alexis quit and started a business back home in the United Kingdom. But she enjoyed her porn life while it lasted."Sure, there are girls in porn who don't enjoy it," Alexis told us before her decision to leave the porn world. "They're idiots. They need to get out of the business because they're bringing down the reputation of our industry because then they're saying things like, 'Oh, I'm being abused, I'm being exploited' and all that garbage. I love my work. I love performing. I get off on it. It's not even so much the sex I enjoy. I enjoy the fact that I know there are guys sitting at home jerking off watching my stuff. That's what really gets me going, and I love putting on a performance for somebody."Alexis liked this kind of P.O.V. porn. "If I can look at the camera, and I love looking at the camera, I do, and if I can't look at the camera, I do tend to close my eyes because I want to look at the camera. I think it's the performance thing. I want to be looking into the camera so I'll feel a bit of a personal connection with the viewer. I want the guy at home to know that I'm looking at him and thinking about him, almost like, 'I wish I was fucking you right now' or 'I wish I was sucking your cock right now.' For me, there's a very personal connection between me and the viewer. One of the best parts about porn is knowing that somebody is watching me."

Black Beauty
In this pictorial, Linsey is wearing a smaller bra than she usually straps on. Squishing and squeezing her high-riding, precious beauties into a tiny bra helped create massive cleavage mounds. And that was the idea from the start. Although all Linsey sets are treasures to be cherished, there is something extra-special about this pictorial. Linsey fans are very familiar with her 18th birthday party pictorial, published in December 1996 SCORE magazine, a true collectors' edition. This lesser-known pictorial was also photographed on her 18th birthday, August 7th, 1996. So in its own way, without the party streamers, this is a very important photo set in Linsey history.

Nets Arena By 2010? Not Bloody Likely
Over at Atlantic Yards Report, Norman Oder maintains that we should take the Nets' pledge to move to Brooklyn in 2010 with a grain of salt:
Arena construction takes 24 months and can't begin until the pending lawsuits are cleared…Even if the legal challenges end soon, it still would take a scheduled three years to reconstruct bridges on Carlton Avenue and Sixth Avenue, and it would be a very unwise move to open the arena with a major traffic bottleneck next to it. The Carlton Avenue bridge won't close until January 16. Three years from then would be mid-January, 2011.
Given that the Nets originally intended to be playing in Brooklyn by 2006, Oder's skepticism about the current target date doesn't seem far-fetched.

Law Association head on Integrity resignation: No reason not to bring back Ventour
Law Association president Seenath Jairam, SC, is throwing his support behind retired judge Sebastian Ventour, saying there is no reason why Ventour should not be reappointed to the Integrity Commission as deputy chairman. Ventour, who served for seven months on the commission, resigned last Thursday to deliver three outstanding judgments after being sworn in as a judge for a single day. He explained in his resignation letter that as a member of the commission, he was prevented by law from delivering the judgments. His resignation meant the work of the commission has been halted as there is now no one with a legal background on its board as required.
Key investigations could be temporarily suspended, such as the e-mail probe and a request by the Opposition for a probe into Attorney General Anand Ramlogan's purchase of two Range Rover SUVs using tax exemptions as a public official. Questions also have been asked about Ventour's locus standi for writing judgments, since he retired from the bench in 2012. But Jairam has insisted Ventour's integrity was still intact. "Why shouldn't he be reappointed to the Integrity Commission? What has he done? "He has done nothing wrong. He left the commission to deliver the judgments and he should be brought back to the commission," Jairam argued. He admitted, however, that the matter was "somewhat clumsy" and could have been handled better. But given the situation, he felt there was little choice but to have Ventour return to the bench to deliver the judgments.
Jairam added: "To restart these three matters would be time-consuming and costly. Given the lesser of the two evils I would have preferred Ventour to resign, deliver the judgment then return to the Integrity Commission. "Mr Ventour's reputation has not been diminished. He is also fair-minded and that is important." A source close to the commission yesterday said there was a possibility Ventour could be reappointed to the commission, adding this was one avenue which President Anthony Carmona can pursue. The source said owing to the nature of the matter it should be looked at with some degree of urgency. Contacted yesterday, public relations officer at the Integrity Commission, Mervyn Crichlow, when asked about Ventour's reappointment or the appointment of a new member, said the matter was up to the President.

Quadratec Floor Liners
Here's an image of Quadratec Floor Liners for you to consider. Optimistically it can present you a small fine further idea to boost your understanding on home decoration and design. Oh ya, next, you can check out our helpful hints for you associated with House Design and Interior decoration Design Ideas to be further motivated. We do genuinely wish that this issue will be appropriate with what you are looking for right at this time, excluding there is a possibility that it might be not suitable. At least, we expect you will love it. Let's read more.
Adorning a home is regularly a time-consuming and drawn out development. Because your private tastes adjust and grow, so will your decoration. But for you in some way find a method to buy an full room, fulfill with wall accents, rug, and decorations, placing all together even a single room demands a sensitive eye. While it might be painless to find the big pieces, it's doubtless less easy to come across the tiny pieces of furniture along with the decorations that certainly make a room impression like home.
Regardless of whether you would like to ramp up your home's design or are starting your internal design from basic and are in fundamental need of decoration ideas, you've reach to the appropriate place! This internet site is a hub of pleasing and inspiring home style and decor ideas, for every person and home type. To present you an idea of what you can expect to discover here.
The Principles of Design - Not each person is a native designer—and nor ought to they be, but this can leave you a tiny lost when it comes to picking out furniture, drapes, and wall decoration for an unfilled room. How do you identify what colors to select? What sort of furniture to hunt for? How do you stay it from looking cheap and make confident that it looks organized and put as one?
That's where this site comes in. One of the best ways to beautify a room is to select an inspiration room, from that you can pull colors, designs, and ideas for your own area. That way, still if you are not able to, you can still have an skillfully designed area.
With a vast range of images to pick from, everybody looking for inspiration for several room in the home, from the bathing room to the cooking area to the bed room, can stumble on ideas that will not merely help them focus their ideas for that actual room, but present them an idea of what kind of furniture to check out. On occasion you merely have a vague initiative of what you need, and looking from side to side a few images can help you get a fully-fleshed idea, before you hit the home goods stores.
In addition, you can still look from side to side images just to catch sight of how two colors will look next to both. While blue with coral pink might not resonance like an ideal mixture, the exact hues, in the correct proportions can seem great. Yellow plus gray can finish up looking dull, but flipping from first to last a image to come across rooms that sport these 2 colors can show you have to use them with no the yellow swallowing up the gray or else the other way. You'll get the principles of the design, from shape to paint to organization.
Furniture with Accessories - Furniture plus accessories are necessary when forming a wonderful, cohesive design. Not merely can decorations fulfill the "color story" of a space, they can complement the comfort of the furniture. Assemblying your furniture plus decorations snap simultaneously isn't always simple. Nearly all people may not even think related to the sorts of decorations their room requirements, leaving tables, side tables, plus dresser bare, when just a bowl or else bud vase or small figure could really close up the room.
If you have a room or an entire home that wishes pieces of furniture, searching through our archives of images is a terrific method to get inspiration, inspiration you can carry with you as you start shopping around for pieces of furniture using the web and in stores. If you hit upon a piece of home furniture that you totally love, you can still take the photo with you at what time you go into real stores, and ask the salespeople if they deal in whatever thing like that bit. Whether the options in store plus online look like too numerous or you understand what you are looking for, but can not quite see how it can be incorporated into your room, searching through these home design and decoration ideas can help.
The subsequently factor is color - Too countless people are afraid of paint these days. Don't be afraid to select a daring color for your walls, for a table, or for the quilt on your divan. Color is possible to make or smash an area, and while nearly all people think that choosing a dazzling color means they can merely use that color in that room, it actually opens up your possibilities and invites you to make use of your vision. If you're not confident what color you are going to use or are not confident what other colors can pair off with the ones you already have in your room, you are in the proper point.
At this time, the final is organization - Knowing a way organize a room and how to put in order a room for functionality and design is the key. Yet the most gorgeous furniture will give the impression of being awkward if not set well. Look through our images for exceptional ways to organize your accommodation, to formulate the best usage of your furniture along with decorations.

I just got an email from OMB Watch that linked to an article on the conservative hype around the fiscal cliff.
Congressional conservatives have revealed their negotiating strategy for dealing with the fiscal cliff slope: scare the public and congressional Democrats into a deal that reduces the deficit through spending cuts alone. These fears have been blown out of proportion. A fiscal Armageddon will not happen on Jan. 1, 2013.
I shouldn't be surprised by this and I'm glad that the word has the chance to get out about the conservative's foul tactics. The Republicans in Congress are crying out that the Democrats efforts to let income tax levels rise to what they were in the Clinton-era for the elite is tantamount to some odd thing they call "Thelma and Louise politics." What does that even mean? Is that something that Frank Luntz has told Boehner and McConnell to say?

Former Adelaide United player Sergio Van Dijk officially joined Indonesia Super League side Persib Bandung on Monday evening, mere hours after he took his oath to become an Indonesian citizen.
The 30-year-old, who was born in Assen, Netherlands, signed a two-year contract with the West Java club and will don the number 10 jersey.
Speaking during a press conference, Van Dijk said that he hopes that his arrival will propel the Bandung Tigers to a higher status in the country and that he will be able to represent the Indonesia national team.
"I am happy to be in Persib, a big club in Indonesia with good players and massive support from its fans group, the Bobotoh. I come here to try and help Persib win the league title," he revealed.
"If all goes well, hopefully I am able to play for Indonesia one day."
Team manager H.Umuh Muchtar also hopes that the former A-league top scorer will be able to don the red and white jersey soon.
"Every player will surely be proud to play for the national team and Persib will also feel the same (if Van Dijk represent Indonesia)," he said.
Van Dijk also explained that he is in good physical condition and feels that he won't have any problem adapting to his new environment.
"I feel fit as I had been regularly training in Australia since the summer and there is no problem with my body. I only left with adapting myself to the surrounding and my new teammates in the training session," he explained.
"You will see top-quality performances from me once I have settled in."

Brianwrote a review of Maui Jim Peahi Sunglasses - Polarized on May 28, 2009
solid shades
These are ideal sunglasses in many ways. They have been good for driving, biking, hiking, skating, baseball, all in very sunny weather. The coatings are durable and the lenses dark, some of the darkest on the market. The waterproof coating has been useful. The form of the lenses and frames particularly help to cover the entire field of view, particularly well at the periphery, where many other sunglasses fail. The only drawback is that these frames are glossy, so the central part of the frame provides a significant amount of stray light. That is, when I look to the side, I see a lot of scattered light with my outside eye. That's just poor frame design--these should be available with a matte finish. Otherwise, the frames are rigid and seem durable. They frames are somewhat large for my face, so I might consider a smaller frame, even if it sacrifices coverage at the periphery.

EIT team heads to the West coast to win international robot competition
Imagine there has been a radioactive leak in a nuclear facility and the level of radioactivity needs to be determined. It's far too dangerous to send a human being in to inspect the damage; so what do you send? A robot.
This was precisely the scenario used for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2013 Design Competition. Students were charged with creating a remote–controlled device. A group of Engineering and Information Technology students at UALR decided to take that challenge. The group consisted of juniors and seniors: Clint Maddox, Josh Faulkner, Henry Meyers, Stephen Fitch, Jason Braudford, and Josh Pittman.
None of the guys had any robot-building experience before the competition. In fact, they did not know each other before the competition, with the exception of two members who had taken a class together. Their one commonality was that they were all ASME members.
"I was new to ASME at the time," said Maddox. "People who were interested showed up. We all started asking about ideas and started designs and things like that. I think we started with about 15 people and then it got down to about eight and then six of us together."
Soon the six-man crew would begin preparing for the regional competition. It took place in April at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The course was a rectangular 5-meter by 7.5-meter surface filled with obstacles that the machine had to maneuver while attempting to complete five tasks:
- Navigate barriers
- Survey the area and read a digital pressure gauge
- Push a button on a control panel
- Pick up a radiation sensor
- Take the radiation sensor to a certain location
The group said that 18 out of the 20 registered schools showed up at the events. Among those present, only 15 robots actually functioned. "Their robots either broke or had some other issues," Maddox said. Some of the competition included: University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Louisiana State.
"We knew we had a pretty good robot but once we started seeing the competition we knew we had a really good robot. And then, we just dominated really," said Maddox.
Indeed, the team did dominate, winning the competition thanks to their practical design and unmatched speed. "I didn't expect to win in Tulsa," Pittman said. "I just wanted to be competitive. To go up there and win was an awesome surprise."
With a name as fierce as the "Viper" written on the side of the team's robot, it was sure to catch attention as it zipped through the course. The crew had only 5 minutes to complete a course simulated to resemble a nuclear power plant. They finished in 47 seconds. Second place was about 52 seconds and the next closest was around 90 seconds. Controllers Meyers and Pittman had to operate the device from behind a curtain while watching the device's camera feed which was connected to laptop.
The Viper also boasts a large claw on its front side. The massive claw prevented them from having to make small adjustments. It was the most difficult feature to create, said Maddox.
"Other competitors would use their claws to grasp the dial, which took a lot of time," Braudford said.
In addition to the claw, there is a scoop at the bottom of the Viper that catches nearly any object that it runs over. Since it has such little ground clearance, the object: a 2-inch tall block of wood, does not sip underneath.
"We just hit top speed and we don't even have to stop and pick up the second dial, we just run over it," Faulkner said.
Another interesting feature is the robot controller – an Xbox joystick hooked to what appears to be a small treasure chest with a circuit board is nested inside. A red light out on the outside signifies that the device is on. Programmer Thomas Epperson, a former UALR student, helped with wiring of the machine.
As for the Xbox joystick, the team said it was simply chosen for ergonomic purposes.
"You can get any kind of controller but, you know, most people our age and this whole generation, everybody's comfortable, everybody knows how to hold an Xbox controller or any kind of video game.
Moving the machine is as simple as moving ones thumbs. With a forward thrust of the left thumb stick, the machine moves speedily ahead. The right thumb stick causes the controls its turning direction. Buttons A and X move the claw, Y switches the camera feed, and B shuts off the device.
When the outer shell is lifted, the inner workings of the machine are exposed. It's frame work is made of material from a Vex motor kit, donated by a professor in the Systems Engineering department. The gift considerably reduced cost for the team. They had to add about $400 to $500 worth of additional material. "I think its right around the $1,000 mark," Maddox said, referring to the total value of the robot.
"You can tell that when we went to Tulsa there were people who spent a lot more money than that," Braudford said. The team recalled that one team put nearly $4,000 into a machine that did not even work.
Since winning the regional competition, the UALR team has upgraded its motors to increase the speed. The flames painted on the outer shell of the Viper also help boost speed, Faulkner said jokingly.
The new motors will allow it to go 4.2 feet per second. When the crew won the competition, the Viper was traveling 2.2 feet per second. Those extra two feet could be just what the team needs to win the international competition set to take place on Nov. 17 in San Diego, California. The team will be staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, a four-star hotel overlooking the water. First prize is $3,000. In addition the chapter gets $1000. They claimed a $500 prize and $1,200 in travel reimbursement, for winning in Tulsa.
When asked about their chances against competitors from all over the world, they were confident and resolute.
"We expect to win."

Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
I obtained my husbands email and Facebook password because he entered it in front of me, but doesn't know that I saw. I used this info after discovering he was using his phone to talk to another woman. They have been having an online affair and I have the correspondences, including x-rated photos, between the two. Can I be charged for going through his messages without his consent?
** On a sidenote, How do I respond to answers to my question? I have asked this already, and received a question to my question, but didn't know how to respond. Thanks.

"Loved it!"
This is a fantastic sequel series to Leven Thumps! Geth was my favorite character in Leven Thumps and I was ecstatic when I found out he had his own series. This first book was extremely funny and very well written. I'm looking forward to listening to the next one.
Julia- age 17
"A great new start!"
I love the new series. I will trust in fate that audible will carry the other books in the series. Very recommended!
"A wonderful addition to the land of Foo!"
Anyone who loves the Leven Thumps series will love this book. E.B. Stevens does an awesome job with the voices and the characters I love from the previous books.
I wish Audible would get it together and get the follow up books. I understand there's at least 2 other books in this series AND the Pillage series that Audible does not have. I spend a lot of time on the road, and have no time to read for pleasure, so these Audiobooks are my sole source of reading entertainment. I am sure I can but them elsewhere, but having them in one easy source is much more ideal, and I am more likely to purchase extra books when I run out of credits if they would actually make the effort to keep a series going.

The Broadway show Rock of Ages by Chris DArienzo was critically and commercially well-received garnering five 2009 Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. Using popular arena rock and power ballads of the 80s, Rock of Ages simply rocked. The new movie adaptation follows the formula of the stage show. The result is an all-out music extravaganza that will rock you like a hurricane.
Like the musical, the characters of the movie are clichéd and the plot is formulaic. But the cast is great, the music is superb, and director Adam Shankman wants to give you nothing but a good time. And at its center is the scene-stealing Tom Cruise as the rock god, Stacee Jaxx. He alone is worth the price of admission. Read More...

So, "The Avengers" surprised everyone and went on to become the third biggest movie in the world! Hollywood thought summer would elevate box-office revenue, but then..."Battleship" sank! And "Dark Shadows" and "The Dictator" both underperformed.
Hollywood needed a savior.
Enter "Snow White and the Huntsman." But the fairy tale was not enough to feed the Hollywood beast, so everyone in Tinseltown was wondering if "Prometheus" or "Madagascar 3" could lift its financial doldrums. And lift both films did!
"Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" opened at No. 1 with $60.4 million. Featuring the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, and David Schwimmer, the DreamWorks Animation flick zoomed past competition. "Madagascar 3" was higher than the original's debut ($47.2 million) but slightly lower than "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" ($63.1 million). ("Madagascar 3" movie review)
And that's where Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" come in to play. The sci-fi thriller debuted at No. 2 with $50 million. Starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, and Charlize Theron (yes, her again, and more power!), "Prometheus" opened strong despite its pesky R-rating. ("Prometheus" movie review)
According to Hollywood.com, "Madagascar 3" and "Prometheus" lifted Hollywood out of its summer revenue slump. The one-two punch of both movies raised revenue by 29 percent from the same weekend last year when "Super 8" made its debut with $35.5 million.
Focus Features' "Moonrise Kingdom" continued to shine! The fantastic movie from Wes Anderson expanded to 96 theaters and made $1.6 million for the No. 10 spot! I will post my interviews with the cast and Anderson in little bit.
For now, here's the Top 10 Box-Office Films for weekend of June 8th:
1. "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," $60.4 million ($75.5 million).
2. "Prometheus," $50 million ($39.2 million international).
3. "Snow White & the Huntsman," $23 million ($24.6 million international).
4. "Men in Black 3," $13.5 million ($38.3 million international).
5. "The Avengers," $10.8 million ($7.8 million international).
6. "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," $3.2 million ($342,000 international).
7. "What to Expect When You're Expecting," $2.7 million.
8. "Battleship," $2.3 million.
9. "The Dictator," $2.2 million ($4.9 million international).

Okay, say what you will about Kristen Stewart and "Snow White," but that film actually gets better with second viewing (I re-watched the film over the weekend, and I liked it better the second time!). It's not that I didn't enjoy the film the first time, it's just that I thought all the mood, and dread, and atmosphere, would take a toll on second viewing. ("Snow White and the Huntsman" movie review)
But I was wrong.
And moviegoers enjoyed the film the second time too (check out its royalty-like opening two weekends ago).
And Universal is hoping that you really love "Snow White and the Huntsman" because they hired David Koepp ("Spider-Man," "Jurassic Park") to write the script. The studio also wants director Rupert Sanders to return according to Moviefone.
And of course, Stewart and Chris Hemsworth have voiced their willingness to return, but Charlize Theron? Well, SPOILER ALERT!, how will they bring her character of Queen Ravenna back? Truth be told, she lights up the screen everytime she's on, so I really want her back, don't you?
You know who else I want to be back? Scriptwriter Hossein Amini, the guy who wrote "Drive" and who helped shape up "Snow White's" script. He should be back! I think his contribution paid off and gave this "Snow White" the dreary but exciting mood that the film truly needed.

Cary Fukunaga, the brilliant director who gave us "Sin Nombre" and last year's "Jane Eyre" is entering Stephen King territory. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fukunaga is set to direct "It" and will co-write the script with Chase Palmer. (Check out my interview with Fukunaga for "Jane Eyre" right here)
I'm a Stephen King fan, so I welcome this with open arms! And here's the best part, to fully told the tale, Fukunaga and Palmer are adapting the book into two films!
We may remember the book's premise -- a group of kids in a Losers Club and their battles with a creature called It aka Pennywise, the sadistic clown. Tim Curry played the menacing clown in 1990 for the ABC miniseries co-starring John Ritter, Harry Anderson, Tim Reid, Annette O'Toole, and Richard Thomas.
Warner Bros. Pictures bought the rights to the book in 2009.

Britney definitely has a wild side. This babe even brought along her stuffed tiger animal to portray that further. She took a long time to get ready, but in the end, she was worth the wait. As Britney walked down the steps, my dick got harder every time she got closer. Her sexy outfit had easy access to her pussy and ass. Tony took full advantage of that, as he licked her pussy and her ass. He even came up with a new move I've never seen before akin to 69. Basically he was licking her ass while she was sucking his dick. It's a must see. Check around the 16:30 mark to see it. Tony was so enamored with her asshole that he could not wait to put his cock in it. This hottie took anal like a champ. Tony rammed it hard and fast up her ass, as she begged for more. In the end Britney got the facial treatment to cap a great update.

Gallery: The Search for America's Best Hot Dog: East Coast Contenders
Walter's: Mamaroneck, NY
The dogs are butterflied and brushed with butter as they cook on the grill, garnished with Walter's own pickle-flecked mustard. A model of hot dog simplicity, it's beloved by locals and regarded by many as one of the best in the country.
Walter's Hot Dog Stand: 937 Palmer Avenue, Mamaroneck NY 10543; waltershotdogs.com
Papaya King: NYC
Topped with red onion sauce and deli mustard, it's hard to compete with this kind of pure hot dog experience. As far as "tropical-style" NYC hot dog stands go, Papaya King—which opened in 1931 at 86th Street and 3rd Avenue—is the original and still the best.
Papaya King: 179 East 86th Street, NYC NY; papayaking.com
Clare & Carl's: Plattsburgh, NY
The thick meat sauce is related to "Texas Hot Weiner" and "Coney" sauces served in other parts of the country, but dryer and thicker, ladled on top of the bright red dog with onions and mustard, served on a unique day-old steamed roll that sort of resembles a New England-style bun.
Clare & Carl's: 4727 U.S. 9, Plattsburgh NY; Open April through October; Clare & Carl's on Facebook
Olneyville NY System: Providence, RI
There are dozens of different stands with the words "NY System" and "Hot Wiener" in the Providence area, but Olneyville is considered one of the best, where cooks line 10 or 20 dogs "up the arm" dressing them with mustard and sauce at a lightning pace.
Olneyville NY System: 18 Plainfield St, Providence RI; olneyvillenewyorksystem.com
Bark: Brooklyn, NY
Bark serves Hartmann's natural casing franks cooked in lard butter, drops them into lightly toasted top-split buns, then garnishes generously with delicious homemade chili, house-cured sauerkraut or bacon braised baked beans.
Bark: 474 Bergen Street, Brooklyn NY 11217; barkhotdogs.com
Crif Dogs: NYC
They use natural casing Thumanns brand franks, specially made to stand up to a deep fryer, available in all sorts of delicious combinations. Wrapped in bacon or pork roll, topped with chili, slaw, cheese wiz, pickles, fried eggs, cream cheese, or avocado—the varieties are endless, perfect for soaking up alcohol and just the right size to order 2, 3, or 4 different dogs.
Crif Dogs: 113 Saint Marks Pl # 2, NYC, NY; crifdogs.com
Heid's: Liverpool, NY
Along with the white Coneys, Heid's also serves a more standard beef and pork German frank. Both are made by nearby Hoffman's and both are delicious washed down with some local chocolate milk.
Heid's of Liverpool: 305 Oswego Street, Liverpool NY; heidsofliverpool.com
Gus's Hot Dogs: Watervliet, NY
Gus's tiny Helmbolds brand dogs are 65 cents each, grilled and served on specially made miniature buns.
Gus's Hot Dogs: 212 25th Street, Watervliet NY 12189
Ted's Hot Dogs: Amherst, NY
The dogs are Sahlen's pork and beef franks—one of the best natural casing dogs out there—grilled over wood charcoal until deliciously blackened and almost splitting apart. Topping choices include everything from chili to pickles and tomatoes, and for the real Western NY experience wash it all down with Loganberry Soda.
Ted's Hot Dogs: 7018 Transit Road, Buffalo NY 14202; tedsonline.com
Nicky And Pete's: Philadelphia, PA
Or try the fish cake combo, a hot dog and potato fish cake jammed into the same roll and topped with pepper hash, mustard and chopped onions. This old-school, only-in-Philly concoction originated back in the 1920s, and Nicky & Pete's makes one of the best modern versions.
Nicky and Pete's Famous Hot Dogs: 349 N. 64th Street, Philadelphia PA 19139
Rutt's Hut: Clifton, NJ
Washed down with an ice cold beer in the standing room only counter area or the amazing wood paneled dining room, Rutt's is one legendary hot dog joint. It's a great argument for the less-is-more philosophy when it comes to great hot dogs.
Rutt's Hut: 417 River Road, Clifton NJ 07014
Jimmy Buff's: East Hanover, NJ
This epic sandwich is found all over New Jersey but best devoured at spots like Buff's that use real pizza bread, baked fresh daily by a handful of old-school North Jersey Italian bakeries.
Jimmy Buff's: 354 New Jersey 10, East Hanover NJ 07936; jimmybuff.com
Super Duper Weenie: Fairfield, CT
Since opening a full-sized restaurant, Super Duper has become one of Connecticut's most well-known hot dog stops, featured in several documentaries and even a spot on Triple D for their split and grilled Hummel dogs loaded with housemade chili and hot pepper relish.

Rawley's Drive-In: Fairfield, CT
Rawley's uses natural casing Hummel Bros. franks, deep-fried and finished off on the grill. Served on toasted buns, the most popular is a dog "all the way" which means relish, mustard, sauerkraut, and a heaping pile of crispy deep-fried bacon.
