...with Timkul on top of Chung. Then comes a third retake, with the same setup; this time Nonzee prods even more aggressiveness from Timkul. The girls take this on board but seem a little disheartened that the slow, feminine sensuality they envisioned is giving way to flat-out canine thrust.

It was prepared by researchers who took the trouble to test that "easy as 1, 2, 3" blood-sugar meter, which is supposed to let diabetes patients quickly check their blood-sugar levels.

...Roger Bilham: What happened was a very important earthquake. Important in that it is the largest that's happened since geologists recognized that the Seattle region is one of the few places in the U.S. that could have a large thrust earthquake.
