On July 18th and 19th Nokian Tires will sponsor the 15th Swamp Soccer World Championship in Ukkohalla.
Lansing, Michigan (PRWEB) July 16, 2014
Between July 18th and 19th, in the legendary Vuorisuo bog of Ukkohalla, players will proudly engage in the 15th Swamp Soccer World Championships. Unlike the internationally famed World Cup, which has cost the Brazilian government several billion euros in field construction and preparation, swamp soccer is played entirely in naturally occurring fields of mud. The competition has arrested the attention of people around the world for years, and over 5,000 players belonging to 250 different teams are expected to attend. In combination with the 10,000 anticipated spectators from ten different countries, theres no overlooking this exciting event.
Last year, all six series in the 2013 Swamp Soccer World Championships were won by Finnish teams. Teams from several additional countries, including Germany, Russia, Sweden, and Iceland, and many others, will each be struggling through the thick bogs this year to reclaim victory. The sport has been accrued so many fans across Iceland that the yearly event has been declared the countrys largest summer activity.
While swamp soccer might not be as expensive to manage as the World Cup, it still requires sponsorship to operate. Thankfully, TiresByWeb.com partner Nokian Tires has been the title sponsor of the Swamp Soccer World Championships for several years. Why has a leading proponent of the tire industry become the leading contributor to a seemingly unrelated competition? The two have more in common than most people may be initially willing to believe. As a major provider of their products, leading online tire provider, TiresByWeb.com, asked the experts at Nokian to further expound on the similarities.
Swamp soccer and developing tires for the demanding Northern conditions both require perfect management of extreme conditions, seamless teamwork, passion, and dedication, says Antti-Jussi Tähtinen, Vice President, Marketing and Communications at Nokian Tires. Furthermore, swamp soccer is fun like our products that enable safe and comfortable driving.
The competition lasts for two days and consists of between 700800 matches on twenty 35 x 60 meter fields of varying amounts of mud. There are six series in the competition, with only one team capable of achieving the title of this years champions. Nokia Tires hopes that you will enjoy the edge-of-your-seat action inspired by the same practice, power, and performance as their expertly crafted series of tires.

Here is the latest Wisconsin sports news from The Associated Press:
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Aaron Rodgers threw a go-ahead touchdown to Jordy Nelson in the fourth quarter as the Green Bay Packers beat the winless New Orleans Saints 28-27 yesterday. Rodgers finished with 319 yards passing and four touchdowns. Saints kicker Garrett Hartley missed a 48-yard field goal attempt with less than three minutes left.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- During the coin toss in the Saints-Packers game yesterday, referee Jeff Triplette said that "it's great to be back, gentlemen!" The NFL's regular refs are back on the job, and Packers plays are moving on from a call that cost them a win at Seattle. Aaron Rodgers shared a laugh with one of the regular officials before the game.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Jordan Lyles pitched his first major league shutout yesterday as the Houston Astros blanked the Milwaukee Brewers 7-0. Lyles also helped his own cause by hitting his first career home run. The loss knocked the Brewers out of playoff contention.
DETROIT (AP) -- Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown yesterday to help the Minnesota Vikings defeat the Detroit Lions 20-13. Marcus Shields scored on a punt return in the third quarter for the Vikings. Matthew Stafford threw for 319 yards for Detroit, which lost its third straight.

Sure, it may not be as dramatic as the fiery shots of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, but this image still makes us sick to our stomachs -- An oil and gas well in the Gulf of Mexico has been leaking natural gas into the ocean for the last four days. The well, which was reportedly being closed up after 15 years of inactivity, began leaking after a "loss of well control event" at 9:45 a.m. on Monday, according to the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.2231, the Offshore Energy and Jobs Act, a reckless bill that would nearly double U.S. offshore drilling, force new lease sales off the coasts of Virginia, South Carolina and Southern California, and gut critical environmental safeguards. H.R.2231 is yet another giveaway to Big Oil that puts offshore drilling above all else while gutting critical environmental safeguards and doing nothing to make us more energy independent.
For the first time in human history, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels passed 400 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide at the historic Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. This is the same location where Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher Charles David Keeling first established the "Keeling Curve," a famous graph showing that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are increasing rapidly in the atmosphere. CO2 was around 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution, when humans first began releasing large amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. On May 9, the reading was a startling 400.08 ppm for a 24-hour period. But without the help of the oceans, this number would already be much higher.
Oceana's climate and energy campaign had an eventful April. In our ongoing effort to stop East Coast offshore drilling before it starts, we've been working hard to prevent the oil industry from taking the first step toward drilling: seismic airguns to explore for oil.
The specifics of seismic airgun testing are worth understanding if only because the oil industry seems to be counting on Americans' lack of knowledge about this highly specific technology in order to get a foothold in some ocean areas that have been protected from drilling since the Reagan administration.
The oceans are heating up, and marine ecosystems are changing because of it. Long before climate scientists realized the extent of impacts from carbon dioxide emissions, ocean scientists were taking simple temperature readings. Now those readings are off the charts, showing an ocean thrown out of balance from human-caused climate change. Sea surface temperatures hit a 150 year high off the U.S. East Coast from Maine to North Carolina during 2012.
These abnormally high temperatures are fundamentally altering marine ecosystems, from the abundance of plankton to the movement of fish and whales. Many marine species have specific time periods for spawning, migration, and birthing based on temperature signals and availability of prey. Kevin Friedland, a scientist in NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Ecosystem Assessment Program, said "Changes in ocean temperatures and the timing and strength of spring and fall plankton blooms could affect the biological clocks of many marine species, which spawn at specific times of the year based on environmental cues like water temperature."
Every spring, the Nautica South Beach Triathlon gives us reason to smile. There's the energetic crowds, the celebrity entrants, and the warm-but-not-too-brutally-hot April weather on Miami Beach. This year, however, in Oceana's 5th year participating through our partnership with Nautica, our grins got even bigger as we set a pair of performance records where it matters most: raising funds for our conservation work.
Team Oceana, comprised of seven passionate ocean advocates, nearly doubled its previous fundraising record at the race, raising $7,171, while our partners at Nautica raised another $20,000 for Oceana by donating 100% of proceeds generated from their beachside shop. That's $27,000 raised in one weekend, which will go a long way toward improving the condition of the oceans around South Florida, the country, and the world
Imagine living next to a construction zone, where every ten seconds, every day, for days to weeks on end, you are subjected to loud, disruptive explosions while you're trying to eat, sleep and function in your normal routine. If the Department of the Interior approves a proposal to allow seismic airgun testing in the Atlantic, this nightmare could become a reality for the thousands of marine animals that call these waters home. Oceana's new report "A Deaf Whale is a Dead Whale" illustrates the extremely harmful impacts seismic testing could have on vital animal behaviors, as well as 730,000 jobs along the East Coast that depend on a healthy ocean ecosystem.
Seismic testing occurs when vessels tow airguns that blast compressed air into the ocean floor to search for oil and gas deposits, and these blasts are 100,000 times more intense than the sound of a jet engine. The tests occur continuously every ten seconds, all day, and the government itself estimates it will injure 138,500 whales and dolphins, as well as disrupt and displace thousands of other marine animals like threated loggerhead sea turtles and fish. Due to the loudness of the airgun blasts, whales, dolphins and other animals that depend on their hearing to survive could go temporarily, or even permanently, deaf.
The proposed blasting zone is twice the size of California, spanning from Delaware to Florida. Airguns and future oil spills would put many communities at risk that depend on a healthy ocean, including 200,000 commercial and recreational fishing jobs.
Yesterday, members of both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate sent letters to President Obama urging him to stop proposed seismic airgun testing in the Atlantic Ocean.
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) is currently deciding if seismic airgun testing should be allowed to search for oil and gas in the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of seven states from Delaware to Florida.
This type of seismic testing involves the use of airguns, which are towed behind ships and shoot loud blasts of compressed air at 250 decibels through the water and miles into the seabed to search for deep oil and gas deposits. These airguns make intense pulses of sound, almost as loud as explosives, every 10 seconds, 24 hours a day, for days to weeks on end. The blasts are so loud and constant that they can injure or disturb vital behaviors in fish, dolphins, whales and sea turtles.
Marine life impacts can include temporary and permanent hearing loss, abandonment of habitat, disruption of mating and feeding, and even beach strandings and death. If approved, seismic airguns will threaten endangered species, fisheries and coastal economies throughout the Atlantic.
These disruptive airguns are unnecessary and dangerous and here are the top 10 reasons why:
1. Seismic airgun testing is the first step towards deepwater drilling, the same practice that brought us the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in 2010.
2. Seismic airgun testing will injure about 138,500 whales and dolphins, nine of which are North Atlantic right whales, one of the most endangered species on the planet, based on DOI's own study, which may underestimate the impacts.
3. In Peru in early 2012, 900 dolphins and porpoises washed up on shore dead with physical signs of damage to their ear bones following seismic airgun testing. In 2008 a similar mass die off occurred for dozens of melon-headed whales in Madagascar after testing.
4. Because it displaces fish and can harm fisheries, seismic airgun testing threatens over 200,000 jobs in commercial and recreational fishing.
5. There are less harmful technologies than airguns on the horizon but they are not being considered by DOI.
6. Seismic testing or drilling in the Atlantic would not reduce U.S. gas prices by even a penny.
7. Oil and gas companies already own oil and gas leases on millions of acres of federal lands and waters, many of them are inactive and have not been developed.
8. The burning of oil and gas contributes to global climate change and ocean acidification, so new drilling in the Atlantic is not the solution to our energy challenges.
9. There is no need to conduct seismic airgun testing now, since the administration does not plan to hold oil and gas lease sales in the area until at least 2017.
10. Atlantic offshore wind could supply more jobs and energy than oil and gas in the region.
Learn more about the harmful impacts of seismic airguns and tell the President to protect whales and dolphins in the Atlantic, not drive them away.
Yesterday the California Coastal Commission rejected a proposal by Pacific Gas and Electric to conduct high-energy seismic testing in the ocean surrounding the Diablo Canyon Power Plant near Morro Bay, CA, citing the unacceptable harm such testing would visit upon marine life. The proposal faced massive opposition from a wide coalition of conservation organizations like Oceana and commercial and recreational fishing interests concerned about impacts to fisheries and marine wildlife. This is an important precedent and one that the Department of the Interior should take seriously as it mulls whether to open an enormous expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, from Delaware to Florida, to seismic airgun testing to search for oil and gas deposits.
As initially proposed by Pacific Gas and Electric, the surveys would have entailed blasting 250-decibel pulses of compressed air at the seafloor every fifteen seconds for 9 days. Before the ruling, Pacific Gas and Electric warned that scuba divers in the area could be in danger from the airgun blasts, to say nothing of the fish and marine mammals unfortunate enough to be caught near the testing area. Conservationists and fishermen were concerned that the proposal would damage marine life in the recently designated marine protected areas.
"The proposed tests posed an unacceptable threat to a wide suite of critically important marine life including endangered whales, not to mention untold damage throughout the ocean food chain" said Geoff Shester, Oceana California Program Director after the ruling. "The Commisson's decision sends a strong signal that this type of seismic testing is simply incompatible with the protection of valuable marine resources."
But the rejected Diablo Canyon proposal pales in comparison to what is currently being planned in the Atlantic where, by the federal government's own estimate, 138,500 whales and dolphins would be injured by seismic airgun testing for fossil fuels. The Atlantic plan has drawn the hackles of more than just environmentalists. The fishing community is rightfully concerned about the effect such testing would have on their $12 billion industry, having seen fish stocks vanish elsewhere seismic testing has taken place.
All of this just to prolong the dubious legacy of offshore drilling. As Oceana CEO Andy Sharpless wrote in a Politico op-ed, ramped up domestic production of fossil fuels will not lead to cheaper prices at the pump (gas prices are set on the global market).
California made the right decision. Let the Department of the Interior know you want them to make the right decision too. Add your photo to our facebook petition and spread the word.
Editor's note: This blog by actress and environmentalist Victoria Principal was originally posted at NRDC's OnEarth blog.
I've been fascinated with marine life like whales and dolphins since I was a kid. Their grace and power, their beauty and intelligence, their joy and their song -- they are truly special creatures.
Now, as an adult, I feel a responsibility to do all I can to help protect ocean wildlife from environmental risks … like the latest threat posed by oil companies dead set on seismic testing in the Atlantic Ocean.
In case you haven't heard, for the first time in 30 years the U.S. government plans to open up the Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Delaware to high-intensity seismic exploration for offshore oil and gas.
It's a disaster waiting to happen. After the BP oil spill I teamed up with NRDC and Oceana to help protect the ocean from further tragedy. In an effort to stop these seismic testing plans from happening, we've created a Facebook photo petition urging the Secretary of Interior to abandon this plan. Please "sign" the petition by adding your Facebook profile photo!
Add your picture to our Facebook photo petition urging the Department of the Interior to abandon the proposal to allow seismic testing in the Atlantic that could injure hundreds of thousands of whales and dolphins!
Not only is seismic testing the gateway to drilling off our coasts, it represents in itself a major assault on our oceans, with widespread harm to ocean wildlife like whales, dolphins and fish. Seismic testing in the Atlantic would expose ocean wildlife to constant dynamite-like blasts about every 10 seconds, 24-hours a day, for weeks and months on end. Even the government admits it could injure up to 138,500 marine mammals and disrupt marine mammal feeding, calving, breeding, and other vital activities more than 13.5 million times.
And because of the enormous distance sound can travel in the ocean, the noise from seismic testing can stretch many hundreds of miles and drive whales to abandon their habitats, go silent, and cease foraging over vast areas of ocean. At shorter distances, it can cause permanent hearing loss, injury, and death.
It would also harm our multi-billion dollar fishing, tourism, and recreational industries that support hundreds of thousands of American jobs. All of this just to make it easier for oil companies to find new sites in our oceans for offshore drilling.
And that just breaks my heart.
The upside though is that we can do something about it. If enough people add their photo to the petition, the Secretary of the Interior will have to take notice. It's not too late to turn this thing around.
If you're not on Facebook, you can also sign our traditional-style petition here. Every signature counts!

About the only complaint you ever hear about Jeremy Lin, America's favorite ex-Harvard hoopster, is that he turns the ball over too much. It's a fair criticism. In seven of his nine starts, he's had at least a half-dozen turnovers. Too many.
Of course, this hasn't (usually) kept the Knicks from winning. It also hasn't Lin from scoring 20 or more points in eight of those games. Indeed, in two victories, Jeremy turned it over eight times – but made up for it by pumping in 28 and 27 points.
Which got me thinking: What's the most points a player has scored in a victory … in which he also had eight or more turnovers? My research (I went back to 1990) produced some interesting results – with a decidedly local flavor. For one thing, Gilbert Arenas' name turned up twice. Also on the list were Bernard King, David Robinson (the former Navy Midshipman), Allen Iverson (the erstwhile Georgetown legend), Chris Webber (during his Kings days) and Jerry Stackhouse (during his Sixers years). Pretty good representation in the Top 20. The specifics:
● David Robinson, Spurs vs. Clippers, April 24, 1994 – 71 points, 8 turnovers. Won, 112-97. Yes, in the game of his life, one that clinched the scoring title for him (29.8 points a game), Robinson turned it over eight times.
● Jamal Mashburn, Mavericks vs. Bulls, Nov. 12, 1994 – 50 points, 8 turnovers. Won, 124-120.
● Allen Iverson, Nuggets vs. Sonics, Dec. 28, 2006 – 44 points, 9 turnovers. Won, 112-98.
● LeBron James, Cavaliers vs. Hornets, March 28, 2005 – 44 points, 10 turnovers. Won, 109-108.
● Gilbert Arenas, Wizards vs. Kings, Feb. 22, 2007 – 43 points, 9 turnovers. Won, 109-106.
● Kobe Bryant, Lakers vs. Bulls, Dec. 15, 2009 – 42 points, 8 turnovers. Won, 96-87.
● Dwyane Wade, Heat vs. Raptors, March 6, 2009 – 42 points, 8 turnovers. Won, 108-102.
● Wade, Heat vs. Cavaliers, Feb. 1, 2007 – 41 points, 12 turnovers. Won, 92-89.
● Arenas, Warriors vs. Wizards, March 23, 2003 – 41 points, 8 turnovers. Won, 113-107. In other words, Agent Zero accomplished the feat with the Wizards and against the Wizards. Gotta love him.
● Shaquille O'Neal, Lakers vs. Kings, April 14, 2000 – 41 points, 8 turnovers. Won, 121-114.
Click here for the second 10, if you're curious.
Anyway, as Lin and all these other guys have shown, eight turnovers aren't necessarily a killer – as long as you have a big offensive night. The bigger, the better … right, Admiral?

What are some good condensed matter physics books that can fill the gap between Ashcroft & Mermin and research papers? Suggestions for any specialized topics (such as superconductivity, CFT, topological insulators) are welcomed.
To cover that gap you will have to study many-body physics.
Similar level than Ashcroft-Mervin (although modern and complete)
Many-Body Physics (General)
A good introduction, it covers lots of topics although notation is a bit old-fashioned. Some chapters are not very good (skip the quantum Hall effect chapter!).
Very good and cheap, specially if you want to learn Feynman diagrams applied to condensed matter physics problem.
A russian classic by one of the masters. Also a bit old fashioned and not very easy for beginners but covers all the basics.
Already mentioned in the other answer. For a path-integral approach to condensed matter physics.
Very well-written and easy reading. Similar to the first one (Mahan).
Quantum Hall Effects
I don't like it very much, very sloppy with notation.
The first chapters are a good overview of quantum Hall effects. Also it is obviously biased towards Jain's theory of composite fermions (as its title reflects!) and so full of hand-waving arguments to try to justify it.
Not easy to find, I like it though because it covers all the experimental stuff you need to know.
http://www.amazon.com/Condensed-Matter-Theory-Alexander-Altland/dp/0521769752/ref=pd_sim_b_3 Has a lot of example systems to be explored.
Classic book on superconductivity http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Superconductivity-Second-Dover-Physics/dp/0486435032/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331176528&sr=1-1
enjoy =)
General Condensed Matter
In some areas a successor to Ashcroft & Mermin

When a couple of moms and their toddlers walked into Julie J Studio, owner Julie Latayan immediately went into artist mode.
She set the children up at small easels where they could express their creativity through some finger-painting. They also had a chance to color and play with "Moon Dust."
"(I enjoy) seeing the kids so excited about what they make," said Latayan, a Grayslake resident. "They're just beaming."
An artist from birth, Latayan said her own talent really took off in eighth grade.
"My teacher was a real artist and she really took me under her wing," she said.
Latayan went on to spend five years teaching art at Wilmington High School near Joliet. She also displayed her art street fairs and art shows. She even opened her own studio but eventually sold the building.
She decided to open a studio in Libertyville because "the opportunities were here, the culture is here.
"It's a really friendly town," she added.
A Sea of Color
Julie J Studio is a colorful environment. Students' paintings hang on the walls. The floor in the back part of the studio is splattered with paint. Latayan repurposed an inexpensive large, round table and painted a large peacock on it. Even the chairs at the table have been repurposed; she covered them with green spray paint and then painted peacock feathers on them.
Latayan admits that the studio is still a work in progress.
"It's just like a painting—it's always going to change," she said.
Though she opened her studio just a few weeks ago, Latayan has already seen a steady stream of budding artists walk through her door at 117 E. Cook Ave. in downtown Libertyville.
"It's word-of-mouth," said Theresa Rice, Latayan's sister who came from Colorado to help open the studio. "And it's the way Julie takes the time with each student."
Variety of Classes
She offers classes and lessons for all ages.
There's a drawing class for children ages 6 to 12, where students learn basic shading techniques, use of line and perspective. There are acrylics and watercolor classes for the same age group. Each class is $90 for four weeks and includes all materials.
Adults can also take acrylics, drawing and watercolor classes. The fee is $110 per four-week class.
Latayan is also planning a Spring Break Camp from March 25-29 that will feature drawing and painting lessons.
Budding artists can also take hour-and-a-half drop-in painting classes where the cost is based on the size of the canvas, paper, glass or wood. Julie J Studio also offers group parties, including birthday parties and Glow in the Dark parties.
"Anybody can learn (to paint)," Latayan insists. "It's a process. And if you start with a good drawing, you'll get a good painting."
For more information on the classes offered, visit the Julie J Studio website.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Last year as the Iowa football team prepared for the Insight Bowl, it was without its leading rusher.
Adam Robinson was suspended for the game, and was later dismissed from the team.
Marcus Coker had a breakout game in Robinson's absence, running for 219 yards on 33 attempts as Iowa defeated Missouri.
This week, as the Hawkeyes again prepare for the Insight Bowl — this time against Oklahoma — they again are without their top running back.
Coker was suspended for the game and did not travel with the team from Iowa City.
But this year, the next man in is not so clear.
True freshman Mika'il McCall was suspended before the regular-season finale against Nebraska.
The remaining backs — De'Andre Johnson, Jordan Canzeri, Damon Bullock and Jason White — have seen very little playing time this season.
The quartet has rushed 38 times for 169 yards.
Coker finished the regular season with 281 carries for 1,384 yards and 15 touchdowns. Quarterback James Vandenberg is the only other player to score on the ground, running for three touchdowns.
" Last year we had a little bit more evidence. Right now, Oklahoma is trying to find Canzeri on film," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "They have been working on that for weeks. There is evidence that Coker can do it and had done it. But I don't want to dwell on last year. If he had broken his shoelace or sprained his ankle, we were in deep trouble. We had nobody behind him. We have more depth, less proven depth (this year) if that makes any sense."
"How will the other guys do? We'll have to see because there isn't a lot of tape on them," said Sooners coach Bob Stoops.
Ferentz said he is going into Friday's game with a running back-by-committee plan.
"Last year, Marcus was going to be the guy. We were pretty much down to him," Ferentz said. "This year, I think in this ball game, really, it is realistic to think we will play all the guys that are healthy and ready to go."
Wednesday, White was the corps' representative in the morning press conference, attended by each team's starters.
The DeWitt senior played in all 12 games this season but carried the ball just three times for 12 yards. He has four carries for 26 yards in his career.
"I know Coach is going to start the guy he thinks is best at the time. He's going to play whoever he deems right at that time," White said. "It could be one guy, it could be every guy getting in the rotation.
"They went with Coker last year, he kind of had the hot hand. I wouldn't say it's out of character."
The backs have been splitting reps since Coker's suspension.
Vandenberg feels any one of them is ready to go, but he does not know which one to whom he will be handing off on Iowa's first offensive series Friday night.
"They've all got a decent number of carries and I think they've all prepared really well," Vandenberg said. "We're going to need their best effort on Friday."
Stoops believes any back Iowa puts on the field can have success with the offensive line behind which he will run.
"I always believed the running game, regardless of the running back, is the guys up front. All their guys up front are still there," Stoops said. "So I'm sure they will have guys that if there are seams in space, they know how to jump in those holes and run it."
Last year, Robinson's suspension led to his dismissal.
Ferentz would not address the future of this year's suspended running backs.
"We will address that when we get back," he said of McCall's status.
McCall had posted on Facebook he was looking for new schools, but the post was later removed.
As for Coker, White expects him to return.
"I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be back," White said. "I don't really know the extent of what's going on. As far as I know right now, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't."

Shootiing investigation
SEATTLE – A woman fatally shot three people and herself at a Seattle home Thursday, injuring another woman who fled into the front yard and told officers: "My mom has gone crazy," police said.
Police responded to a home in the 1400 block of SW Roxbury Street, near 14th Avenue SW, at about 1:30 p.m.
While police were still arriving, a man in his 50s ran into the house. Two more shots were fired and he ran back out.
When officers talked to him, he said that his wife had shot herself.
Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said a wounded woman -- who fled the house and is expected to survive -- was able to speak to officers when they arrived.
"All she said was, `My mom has gone crazy,'" Pugel said.
"We did find one person who was wounded outside of a house," said Police Sergeant Sean Whitcomb. "That person told us there was indeed shots being fired. We actually did hear shots being fired while we were present. Multiple officers responded. We entered the house and did discover that there were multiple people inside who had been shot."
When officers entered the house, they found four people dead - two women in their late teens, a man in his 30s and a woman in her 60s. Police believe the 62-year-old woman was the shooter.
The injured woman, 40, was in stable condition at Harborview Medical Center late Thursday.
The Seattle Times spoke to Tony Sun, a member of the family who arrived home shortly after the shootings. He says his grandmother was the shooter. The wounded woman is 40-year-old Thy Luellen. Killed were Thy's husband, Choeun Harm, and two of their daughters, Jennifer Harm, 17, and Melina Harm, 14.
"Grandma just shot them for no reason," Sun told the Times.
Sun said Thy's son, Kevin, 16, grabbed his other sister, Neveah, 6, and ran out of the house.
The King County Medical Examiner has not yet officially identifed the dead.
Police said two handguns were recovered from the house in a lower middle-class neighborhood a block north of southwest Seattle's city limits. No motive for the shootings was known, officers said.
A witness tells KING 5 News that seven or eight people may have been living in the home. A man who said he was a relative of one of the family members said the family had just moved in to the home two weeks ago. He said there hadn't been any problems in the home. The owner of the home said the family was Cambodian.
"The family, they're all great people. I don't know what could have been the start of this tragedy," said Melinda Jackson, who worked with the surviving victim at Magic Lanes Casino and Bowl in White Center.
Neighbor Lisa Freeman said she heard the shots and came out to investigate.
"(Police) had guns and everything drawn. There was kid over there crying with a shirt over his face and a woman holding a little kid. Another woman walked away and was crying," Freeman said.
Travis Rowland, 53, said he was about a block away waiting to get his truck repaired at an auto shop when he saw a woman run from the house hollering.
As police arrived, Rowland said, a man "busted away from the police officers and ran into the house." Rowland said the man was inside for about 10 to 15 seconds before "there were a couple more shots, pow, pow, pow. At first I didn't know who was shooting. He came back outside."

Peter Lynch screen
Homeowners Choice Peter Lynch screen. $149 to good to be true?
Would like a better entry price but this stock has plenty more upside potential.
buy on dip 8.24.13
Long. Rapidly growing insurance company. Revs up 48%, earnings up almost 200%. Trading at just 9x trailing and forward earnings estimates. Delivered EPS above estimates last 4 quarters, sometimes substantially beating.
Management have clear and objective growth strategies which are achievable given their position.
Great dividend
Nice pullback
Homeowners Choice is an extremely fast growing property and casualty insurance company in Florida. Despite the fact that the stock has more than tripled in the past 12 months, HCII still has plenty more room to grow. The stock pays a solid 3.5% dividend yield and the payout ratio is only about 20% so there is plenty of room to grow the dividend too. The naysayers who are not willing to do the homework to find the facts argue that a hurricane would significantly harm earnings, but the fact is that the company's liabilities are very limited by reinsurance. The facts are available in the company's filings and other documentation.
Good track record and dividend
Great balance sheet. Can't really lose, unless Hurricane Andrew comes by.
When homebuilding comes back fully this insurance company should do quite well.
A little late on this run up, but I think the valuation and 4% yield is a good buy here.
yr to yr shares soared more than 71%
has broken threw 20 day moving average on wed
Cap $ 93 million
strong but recomended

Summit Sierra Shopping Center Asks Reno for New Deal
The company in charge of the Summit Sierra shopping center in south Reno wants to revamp its financing agreement with the city, an issue the Reno City Council is addressing in its Nov. 7 meeting.
When Bayer Properties built the center, the city agreed to give the company half of the annual sales tax revenue to pay off a $10 million dollar bond. But with the economic downturn, that money has been virtually nonexistent.
Now, Bayer is asking to readjust that agreement so it can start receiving sales tax revenues again.
The proposal requires Reno to pay $450,000 dollars a year to Summit Sierra from its general fund, based on current revenues.
This isn't the first refinancing deal in front of the city. The city will also discuss a deal with the Reno Aces to refinance its ballpark debt.
Reno Councilwoman Jessica Sferrazza questioned how far the city can go:
"This council -- the next council -- everyone's going to come up to this council and say, 'You know what the financial projections weren't projected to be what we anticipated. And we want you to bail us out.' I mean, we have other agreements," Sferrazza said. "Is Cabela's next? Are they going to come forward?"
The City Council told staff to look at the feasibility of the proposal and bring it back to the council next week. The next meeting will include four new council members.

Stimulus transparency a work in progress — Federal spending Web site basic; state's improving
Austin Guest on March 8, 2009 - 9:39pm
by Scott Davis
March 8, 2009
in the Lansing State Journal
Ever since Steve Watson had his first job at age 16 picking asparagus, he's paid his taxes. And he's always wanted to ensure the government spends his money wisely.
So naturally, when the 53-year-old heard that President Barack Obama pledged a new era of transparency with his 3-week-old $787 billion stimulus package, Watson was glad he could log online and check how every dollar was spent.
Site in infancy
But glee turned to glum when the Lansing man learned that the Web site, recovery.gov, is still in the infancy stage, lacking substantial information about spending and no user-friendly interface for taxpayers to quickly find the information they want.
"It seems like they would want to get right on it. If it's transparent, why isn't it up already?" said Watson, who is attending Lansing Community College after losing his job as a warehouse supervisor due to an injury.
Want to find the amount that the Ingham County Health Department will receive in stimulus funding? Check your local newspaper.
Curious about the estimated stimulus amount Lansing School District is eligible to receive in Title I funding for at-risk children? You're plumb out of luck.
Experts say these hazy first steps toward greater transparency underscore the challenges that states face in reporting stimulus spending decisions both to the federal government and to taxpayers.
Obama hailed the move as a new era of accountability allowing taxpayers to see how every dollar is spent, and many states, including Michigan, now are scrambling to meet that high standard.
Reports required
Under federal guidelines, states will need to report stimulus expenditures, numbers of jobs created, how long it took to complete the projects, among other things.
"None of the states are tracking what they need to," said Nathan Newman, interim director of the Progressive States Network, a New York-based research group that supports state legislation and policies for working families.
The good news is that Michigan appears to be ahead of the curve in reporting stimulus-related funding. Michigan is now one of only 18 states shown on the recovery.gov/state resources Web site as providing its own stimulus reporting sites. That allows users to quickly link to the state Web site from the federal site to find information about their state.
Mich. site improved
That represents a shift from only 17 months ago, when a nationwide study gave Michigan an "F" for its online disclosure of economic development subsidies awarded by state agencies, government contracts awarded and lobbying activity.
The state ranked 38th worst nationwide in online accountability, according to the study by Good Jobs First, a Washington, D.C., policy resource center that promotes corporate and government accountability.
"The transparency movement has gained significant steam in the past two years," said Leon Drolet, chairman and founder of the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance, adding the state remains deficient in posting non-stimulus purchase information online.
In recent weeks, state officials have been busily creating an Economic Recovery Office to oversee the funding that will come into the state and creating a state Web site to report spending.
"There are a few additional (reporting) requirements, but not anything that is a burden because the process of meeting that goal is largely already in place," said Tiffany Brown, spokeswoman for Gov. Jennifer Granholm. "
In the end, federal officials say they envision a national database, showcased on recovery.gov, that compiles data provided by federal, state and local agencies.
About half of the federal money is expected to flow through state and local governments.
Once that apparatus is in place nationwide, Newman said he hopes the result will be worth the effort. Information compiled could lead to a better-designed stimulus during the next economic crisis, he said.
"This is a real-time experiment in growing the economy," Newman said. "We know there will be a lot of innovation out there in the states. If you don't track who is getting the money and who is being successful at creating jobs, how to say who should get more the next round?"
Open government
Besides shaping future stimulus policy, greater transparency will help the country achieve the goal of an open government accountable to the public, said Randy Watkins, a professor of political science at LCC.
"It's an absolute core element of trust in a democracy," Drolet said.
"There's a lot more trust, and government operates with a lot more support, if citizens know how their tax dollars are being spent."

Yes, I recommend this product.
"First of all, I'm NOT an ultra-runner. In fact, I don't particularly *like* to run at all, but it's good, convenient, and much-needed exercise. So when I run, I want some cushioning, need some stability, and also want my shoes to weigh next to nothing. Impossible, right? Until I met these guys, I thought it was! They've saved me from at least 6 sprained ankles and provide an astonishing amount of traction in slippery conditions. I even like the tongue design and the laces. I think they run a little big in the toe box, but I'm sure that's the idea for distance runners. Once you get them tied comfortably, you don't even have to think about them on your run. And if you're like me and don't really *want* to be running anyway, these shoes won't give you any excuse to turn around early. :-)"

Yes, I recommend this product.
"I mostly run OCR, so I wear special shoes for those, but in the last year, I have started doing team trail runs, and needed a shoe designed for trails (sans mud, obstacles and rope climbs) These were recommended to me, by an excellent source, so I gave them a try - and I LOVE them. I am 43 years old and have never been able to understand the minimal shoe movement. I need support, comfort and cushioning out there, and these have them in spades. The lugs are great for the trails, but do not become unwieldy on flat surfaces like some trail shoes do. I am concerned that it looks like they might be discontinuing these...If so, I hope there is something AMAZING in the pipeline, because as far as I am concerned, these need NO improvement."

"I have only used these on the elliptical for 4 miles and noticed that the left shoe at the bottom of the tongue/laces(INSIDE just underneath the pink & gray lines) there 's a rough bump on the inside of that shoe. Also, where the toe band of leather is sewn, that area rubs your big toes. And they are the only shoes that are causing my foot to pronate.Very noticeable on the elliptical because every time my foot would hit the step I'd have to make a mental note to reposition my foot & then it would happen again!!! Never had this happen before! I tried the 1765's outside...great for flat terrain did 61/2 miles the first time I wore them,not enough cushioning when doing inclines/descents! Will try one more time to find a 'fast cushioned walker', if there's such a N.B. shoe...that is the question??Just ordered the 847, wish me luck~smile~"

Knoxville —
A Mass of Christian Burial for Amelia "Millie" Zoutte, of Knoxville, was held on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, at the St. Anthony Catholic Church with Rev. Philip Ryan, Celebrant.

The Edge of Forever
Like the title implies, this one-time only performance is meant to be quite monolithic. Inspired by the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, this chamber operetta will appropriately take place surrounded by Mayan Revival architecture at the Philosophical Research Society. The plot follows two people destined to be together. The setting is the Mayan Yucatán Peninsula. Its first two acts take place in the past, and intriguingly, the third act takes place in the present moment on December 21, 2012.

The Journey, Joshua Tree
This particular community of desert spiritualists believes that the so-called 'end' presented by the December 21, 2012 date is in fact a beginning. So, they are encouraging people to 'look ahead' by attending their weekend retreat in nearby (for Angelinos) Joshua Tree. The gathering will encourage attendees to explore creativity and spirituality to accelerate goals and awareness. The journey (proverbial and literal) begins on December 19th and culminates on the big day, December 21st. Full weekend retreat cost is $775 (+ lodging).

Doomsday Cabaret
Melding the apocalyptic with the entertaining and lighthearted, the Doomsday Cabaret bills itself as 'a rock musical of apocalyptic proportions.' It won this year's Hollywood Fringe, and showcases the cults of experts (from the Mayan world to that of the Hopi) as they gather for one last rockin' finale. Performances take place at 8 and 11 p.m. Tickets cost $20. Although the spectacle opened on October 25th, it of course ends on December 21, 2012. But is it really the end, or just another beginning?

Winter Solstice Celebration With Gurmukh
Each year the folks at Golden Bridge Yoga celebrate the Winter Solstice with some kundalini yoga, meditation and togetherness. This year is no different, yet totally different. Like the Mayans, many Western sikhs (who practice kundalini yoga) believe December 21, 2012 is very special; for them it "marks the cosmic time-clock shift into the Aquarian Age." Join spiritual leader Gurmukh and Gurushabd as they help attendees get into divine alignment with positive energies, ushering in a new life and world of creativity and joy. The event runs from 7:30 to 10 p.m. and costs $25.

Mayan 'End of the World Celebration'
Celebrate Mayan 'End of the World' at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach. This celebration begins at 9 a.m. at the property's Fuego restaurant, on the big day. It will showcase authentic Mayan entertainment, live Latin music, and offer a cornucopia of Latin inspired dishes and specialty drinks (like Hurricanes and Lava flows). And, in a nod to the New Age numerological camp of Mayan believers, the hotel will also present a toast at 3:11 p.m. (which happens to be 11:11 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time). Other highlights: a 'bucket list' raffle and a special Taco Station.

About the Author
Jeanne Faulkner is a freelance writer and registered nurse in Portland, Ore. Her work appears regularly in Pregnancy and Fit Pregnancy, and she has contributed articles to the Oregonian, Better Homes & Gardens, Shape and other publications.
What's sexy, now that we've been married forever? Actually, not that much has changed on the hotness scale except for experience, maturity and, of course, far less opportunity for doing the wild thing now that we have children.
Sure, there are specific differences. I'm not 21 anymore, and I've got the scar collection and stretch marks to prove it. We're focused on parenting, careers, and whose turn it is to buy groceries. Fatigue and responsibility are our sidekicks--like a foursome, only way less kinky. But even though things have changed, for the most part, the stuff we liked then is the stuff we like now.
Passionate Kisses Long, warm kisses are always sexy. Don't, however, do this in front of the children. Take it from me, they'll gag, beg you to stop and forever after blame you for ruining their childhood.  We've learned to make the most of the "quick peck." Applied frequently and liberally, several quick pecks add up to one long kiss.
Finding a Little Romance  We take it where we can get it. Frankly, romance now means any time alone: tacos at the corner dive or a walk with the dogs if that's what we've got. Ten minutes sitting on our bed to recap the day? If we're focused on each other, that's romance.
As for fine dining, long walks on the beach or weekends in bed--good luck. Fine dining in our house is "just the seven of us" and a pan-full of mac 'n' cheese. Weekends in bed?  Not at home, unless we've got the flu. When we need a dose of classic romance, we pull out the calendar and schedule it. We get a room. We book a weekend at a hotel. No kids. No distractions.
Practicing Random Acts of K&CKindness and Consideration always count, but they may be defined differently. In the old days, picking up the check, opening the door and being nice to your significant other's friends and family went a long way on the K&C list. They still do, but the stakes are higher, and today's list offers more variations and opportunities, like the following:
- When I recognize that he's grumpy because he's hungry and I feed him.
- When he tidies up before I get home.
- When he takes the kids out so I can meet my deadlines. It's kinder still when I'm not on deadline.
- Doing the dishes when it's my/his turn, or doing all the laundry.
- Recognizing I'm/he's just too tired now but willing to give it a try tomorrow ... then actually trying again tomorrow.
Trying Something NewBack then, everything was new. We were young and didn't know anything. It was easy to stumble into uncharted territory. These days? Not so easy. "Something new" means finding time and privacy when we're both too exhausted to discover new ways to play. We've been at this for a while. We know what we will and won't try. But of  course we still do aim for freshness now and then in order to discourage boredom--the curse of the bedroom.
Sticking With WhatWorksOver time, we've figured out what we both like. He knows that I really don't find  ________ (fill in the blank) enticing, but that I do like ______.  If "trying something new" is special-occasion sex, "sticking with what works" is Monday-through-Friday sex. I like a special occasion as much as the next gal, but honestly, any more than once in a while is stressful. Plain old weeknights are nice and kind of like "comfort food."
Looking Your BestPhysical attraction and attention to appearance never go out of style, though styles and bodies change. It's crucial that I take good care of myself and pay attention to my appearance. If I don't care what I look like, how I dress or how healthy I am, what message am I sending?
There are plenty of good-looking women out there, and my husband is hot.  I'm smart enough to know that in his eyes I'm brighter, funnier and more charming than any of them, but I also know that looks matter, especially to a visually stimulated male.   My husband has loved me through thick and thin--overweight from pregnancy and hairless from chemotherapy--but that's not the norm.  I make an effort.  So does he.
A word about keeping up with the times: I'm fortysomething, not twentysomething. I don't have the same wardrobe or hairstyle as I did 20 years ago.  Thank goodness, neither does he.  Fifty-year-old men who still sport a Flock of Seagulls hairstyle or dress like Flava Flav aren't hot.  Fortysomething women who still dress like Madonna circa 1985 look silly, not young.  We dress our age.
Setting the MoodMusic, lighting and setting are crucial.  What that means for us is more Miles Davis, less Adam Ant. Actually, silence is a perfect sensual contrast to the punk rock blasting through the house courtesy of our teenager.  But a word of caution from our house to yours: Any music emanating from the bedroom when the door is closed raises suspicion.  Candlelight's nice but also attracts attention. "We smell matches; are you lighting candles?  What's going on?" Dark's fine. Bathroom light?  Fine.  Backyard at midnight under the stars?  Not so much.  Tends to freak out the kids.
Basically, all we need now is the same stuff we needed then:  A little privacy, a little energy and no kids outside the door.  Anything else is a windfall.

Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Gloria Reuben was born on June 9, 1964 in Ontario, Canada. Her mother was a singer from Jamaica and her father was a Canadian architect. Interested in music and dance from an early age, Reuben learned piano as a child and studied music and dance at the Canadian Royal Conservatory. In 1985, she briefly hosted the Canadian-produced children's show "Polka Dot Door" (TVOntario, 1971-1993), on which her half-brother, actor-singer Denis Simpson, had also served as a host since the late-1970s. Because her father was Caucasian, Reuben became a subject of brief controversy when she was crowned "Miss Black Ontario" in 1986. Attracted to acting after landing sporadic work in several commercials, Reuben... Continue Bio >>

I very rarely do something like this, but I believe pretty strongly in the product — take a few seconds and check out Smith & Co. Designs on Bogue Sound's website. A senior sales executive for the company, Scott E. Smith, lives here in Kinston and does a fine job with designing and printing T-shirts; in fact, I'm going to have him do our T-shirts for The Free Press dodgeball team that will begin play in the Fairfield Recreation Center league in a couple of weeks.
Scott and his wife Beth have had a tough go at it in the past few months, as she has battled colon cancer. However, things are looking up for the couple as she is in remission.
I know a lot of you are in adult sports leagues and in business; the next time you need T-shirts or caps, take a second and compare Scott's work — I think you will be duly impressed!

I've seen many in this series and it is formulaic and at its best when two hung dudes tag one hottie's pink petite ass until she can't walk stairs straight. The MF scenes here require that the girl is a 9.0 and most aren't. "BUSY" – cute little mouse-like ears which is common with the Thai; face fairly cute; med-dark skin tone; ass shape okay; petite body; hole not tight; some high-angle doggie is hot but brief; spray-down on neck. "EXCUSE ME" – big real tits; bad teeth; cute face; slightly above average tool size; fair skin; nice medium shot doggie; weak ass underneath doggie is unflattering; tits bounce big time on doggie which looks good; butt okay but tad flat; face spray-down with good splatter factor. "KILLING TIME" – face not good; dark skin; medium frame; big over-actor; clearly a total pro scene shot in the U.S. and spliced in due to lack of budget; crappy scene. "SIGHTSEEING" – fair skin; face ok; body bruises; wide pole treats her right; actor leg in way during doggie; hornjob while bent over and simultaneous finger-banging is nice; nice high-angle doggie but brief and back-and-forth cam shots. MFF SCENE – one cute face with nice body and one "not so cute" face with hot body; hot face smokes big pole while actor eats mediocre's puss; meaty pole on actor; hot-face does reverse cowgirl; mediocre into the sex and gets doggie; scene way too brief as actors sprays early…but can hardly blame him.
"Roadside Assistance" featured a fairly attractive fair-skinned girl with a thin body. Unfortunately, sexual positions in this film transition way too quickly (some barely a minute). The MMF scene is the highlight of the movie but a hot doggie/oral sequence barely clocks in at one minute which was borderline criminal. And yes, this was the most fiery part of the scene. A MF scene on the beach has a hot visual with a petite girl blowing a well-endowed actor with a fat mushroom head. The beach was more stunning than the girl but her performance makes this scene worthwhile. She is a real trooper when Mr. Wide-load "corns" her over a log on the beach. The facial blast is a hot close to a pretty good scene. "Lost in Bangkok" has a girl giving lousy head to a "lost" foreigner in an ugly motel room. Most other movies in this series do have nice settings. Her "butt complexion" isn't good so the medium shots work better than the close-ups. She dodges a major facial blast which also sabotages the scene a bit. Seriously, if I want to see a "head jerk" I can see it at home with my wife. Another forgettable scene has a dark-skinned girl in a MF scene. The girl isn't very cute and her skin looks about four different shades (i.e. too much sun or skin condition). The camera angles are mediocre and the saggy boobs make me turn this scene off.
If you like tats, meaty bodies and the "White T" look you might be a fan. Otherwise, wipe tail on this vid. I rented it solely for Aleksandra (a.k.a. Alexa May). ALEXA MAY – She's looked better than this with her ass now having a little extra feta cheese on it. Regardless, once bent over it still looks good. The sex is okay but nothing special. The corning was decent but with little movement by the camera during sexual positions it was a bit of a yawn fest. Her foxhole looks a little worn out and less appealing than its looked in other films. Once again underneath and low-angle camera angles reign supreme. This film needed more medium shots, high-angle, and panning shots to try and make it more interesting. Given the lack of hot talent this would have at least helped to keep my interest for a minute. Next!
Vanessa is half invested at best, Lucie is three quarters invested and Ashley is almost fully invested. LUCIE – decent face; her tits look great when she's on her back; her thin body looks good in the missionary position; her foxhole looks snug as a bug in a rug; lots of big tools take her on; her ass isn't good and has ugly dimples; face pimples; major "cake decorating" facial finish. VANESSA VIRGIN – hideous amounts of red ass pimples (shooting should've been postponed); the outdoor horn-jobbing scene in the shade was well shot with strong lighting for outdoors; Vanessa is overwhelmed smoking huge poles while likely kneeling on rough cobblestone; her puss and corn get pulverized; she was not too thrilled when they tried to get her to swallow 7 large loads. ASHLEY BLUE – this was a full-force, ruthlessly aggressive gangbang scene; it gets gross and messy if you like that kind of thing; the sex is more enthusiastic here and this girl is filthy dirty with sex; she holds 7 loads in her mouth, gargles and then swallows which was pretty nasty. Vanessa has looked nicer and the ass acne killed this scene and this movie for me.
This is a mixed bag for sure and likely a 2.5 star affair. There are two reverse gangbang scenes surrounding a pretty hot VANESSA VIRGIN gangbang scene. Most of the girls in the reverse gangbangs possessed one-dimensional ASSets. They either had a nice face or a nice body but surely not both. The Vanessa scene consisted of a MMMMF turning her into a full-on three-input girl. The scene was nice and long and sexual positions were utilized multiple times. Her body is a tad thick but the poles were above average or big and did some nice work on her slightly meaty frame. This movie is chock full of anal action and hung dudes hammering away on girls. Given that it isn't too bad.
MEI – Her skin has looked better and the ass has gotten too wide for my tastes. In addition, her "gun show" and drooping rack of lamb pressing through the leather outfit doesn't do anything for me. The best thing about this scene is that it is a MMMF and interracial with a corning session. ADRIANA – This girl has a mediocre face with a nice ass and hair. That nice butt is tainted visually by an enormous low back tat. The corning sequence is decent but that low back tat was too distracting. Other girls are not my type, mediocre looking or worse. The best thing about this film is the title.
I gave it the college try but there was no "peeling the onion" to this movie. MAGGIE STAR – face is passable at best; ass is subpar; boring cliché dirty talk; no thanks. CRIS TALIANA – pig tails looked pretty good; meaty ass; she acts as if she was a dog being walked on a chain; there were some nice subjective camera angles but the mediocre lighting sabotaged it (very washed out); she takes on an average-sized tool; her ass looks good on the high-angle doggie-style corning but the piss poor lighting killed it and they didn't hold the shot long enough; she gets a big facial spray-down with eyes included. WENDY JAMES – I love her fair skinned complexion; the blindfold factor is pretty hot; the face is fairly cute; the high-angle shot of her on all fours smoking horn was super hot with her skinny well-shaped frame but the shot was short-lived; she does a left-handed jerk-off towards her face and due to lack of coordination, load flew everywhere. It reminded me of moments from my youth…super hot.
I'm not going to waste much time reviewing this one. In a nutshell, here is the summary: VANESSA VALENZUELA – cute until I saw a much better ass on her "partner in crime" CYTHERIA; faked spontaneity and lust by leaving clothes on while shagging should be utilized more in porn; MYA JOHNSON has a decent face and a very hot body but was poorly utilized with lame-o underneath cam angles during the even lamer standing doggie-style; at the end of the day, this is some weak ass poop.
…but in this case it is. I can deal with the dated hairstyles and hairier bush but large marge asses and loose foxholes I refuse to accept. Don't get me wrong, there are a few fairly attractive girls here but only one girl is on the thinner side of the equation. And her skin is disgustingly tan and her hooter job is valued at around $3.99. She does engage in some public sex which I give them creative credit for. MARIA De SANCHEZ – She is pretty decent looking but the dated leggings and lingerie made her look even larger than she was. There are MMF and FFM scenes but they barely did anything for me. There really aren't any trolls but the superfluous amount of average thick bodies made this a lackluster effort. Good luck "waxing the donkey" to this one Gents. Good luck indeed.
The music that persists throughout the movie is techno music with a "sniff" of hard rock. You can still hear some of the actor's noise making but I really don't get it. There wasn't anything about the theme of the movie that warranted using this music throughout. It was especially annoying that they didn't fade it out once the action got hot and heavy. ALEXA MAY – the lying on side with legs together while smoking dick was nice; the cowgirl riding while taking it in the corn and smoking pole was gorgeous; a long doggie-style scene was needed but neglected; she smokes the carp out of two meaty poles; her foxhole is beautiful. VANESSA VIRGIN – a very natural body; the doggie-style underneath cam angles were terrible as all it showed was t-sac and acne; she has nice pillowy butt cheeks which were well displayed while she rode tool and smoked another. This was okay at best. Next!

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Office of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor released a report, The Imperial Presidency, to make clear that the result of President's Obama disregard for the legislative process has been a breakdown in the rule of law which has reduced economic growth and individual prosperity.
President Obama's term in office has been characterized by weak economic growth, historic debt, high unemployment, and unprecedented disregard for legislative authority and the separation of powers. Clear, transparent, predictable rules that are applied without preference help create certainty and allow individuals to invest, build businesses, and create jobs. When there is a breakdown in the rule of law, increased uncertainty leads to reduced investment and less growth. The Committees of the House of Representatives have investigated and documented numerous breakdowns in the rule of law and this report showcases over 40 such examples.
Please visit http://majorityleader.gov/TheImperialPresidency/ to read the full report.
