It might be a fluke, but my last Continental Hometrainer was the first time that I've used the black version and it was nearly impossible to mount on the rim. I've probably gone through 6 sets of the yellow version and, although difficult to mount, they were not nearly as hard to mount as the last black version. I'll still give it 5 stars because I won't have to worry about mounting a new tire until sometime next year.
Note to do-it-yourselfers, it probably did not help at all that this tire was the first ever tire I tried to install on my own on a bike, but I had one incredibly difficult time installing this, ended up blowing an inner tube and then surrendering and taking it to my LBS who was able to make it look as easy as icing cake, so experience most definitely helps and your mileage will almost certainly vary when attempting to get this thing installed on the wheel, but once it's on, it is most definitely all business. I will not hesitate one bit to purchase another one of these down the road when my current one eventually wears down and this is hands-down the number one thing I will recommend to friends who inquire about using an indoor trainer--this tire is an indispensable component of anyone's indoor trainer setup!
This one is much easier to install.
As the reviews are very accurate, this tire was easy to install. I did not have to use a tire lever to get installed.
It's extremely quiet on the trainer, a lot quieter than my road wheels (I used to just use my road tire instead of a special tire for the trainer)
I put about 110-120psi in it for the trainer, works well!
My experience is that it works great on the trainer. I have no other trainer tire for comparison; but compared with a road tire (Specialized Turbo Pro) it is night and day better. It grips better (e.g. sprints), is quieter... I guess that's enough.
I did get a tire bead jack to install it, but after the valve failed on the antique tube I was using, I was able to get this tire re-seated with my fingers. So maybe just the first installation is hard?
If you are like I was, combing through endless, non-comparative reviews of trainer tires, STOP RIGHT NOW AND BUY THIS ONE. It works great. There may be one that is better by some criterion over a very long period of time, but there is nothing wrong with this tire. I can't imagine any improvement. It even costs less than a typical road tire.
More advice: I thought it was frivolous to assemble a wheel just for the trainer but now I regret not doing it sooner. They have very cheap, serviceable wheels - and great prices on better wheels - right here on Amazon. I recommend keeping a separate wheel for the trainer so there is no disincentive for switching back and forth between indoors/out - and maybe more importantly, no incentive for buying another bike.

First Eerie Trailer for 'The Last Exorcism Part II' Debuted
"The Last Exorcism Part II" has debuted its first trailer, which is packed with creepy scenes that will raise viewers' goosebumps.

It also sees a spooky procedure that must be taken to get the devil out of the girl's body.
Continuing where the first film left off, Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is found alone and terrified in the woods. Back in the relative safety of civilization, Nell realizes that she can't remember entire portions of the previous months only that she is the last surviving member of her family. Just as Nell begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her is back with other, unimaginably horrific plans that mean herlast exorcism was just the beginning.
Directed by Ed Gass-Donnelly, the sequel to 2010's "The Last Exorcism" is slated for a March 1 release in the United States. Also supporting the horror movie are Andrew Sensenig, Spencer Treat Clark, Judd Lormand, Julia Garner, Muse Watson, E. Roger Mitchell, Cristina Franco and David Jensen.

It felt like a little apartment and we really enjoyed our stay. We had room for everything we needed. There was a nice closet and bureau where we could stow all of our things. The location is not far from all of the winerys in Hill City. Great breakfast bar in the morning. Pretty waterfall that can be seen from dining room

Tilanga Sumathipala, a presidential aspirant in the upcoming polls of Sri Lanka Cricket, has insisted that his political career cannot come in the way of heading the SLC even though it goes against ICC guidelines.
Sumathipala, a parliamentarian in the ruling coalition of the President Mahinda Rajapaksa, if elected, would be in contravention of the ICC policy of having cricket
administrations devoid of politics.
The ICC had laid strict guidelines for countries which resorted to the practise of running the game under politically appointed interim committees.
"There will not be any problems with the ICC. I have served in the ICC board of directors in the past and have also served in its executive committee," said Sumathipala.
"This will be my 18th year in cricket administration during which I put in a lot of hard work into running the game," he said.
Similarly he dismissed suggestions that his family connections to a bookie, a newspaper publishing house and a sports equipment store would impede his chances.
The SLC sources said that Sumathipala who had entered the fray after getting the nod from President Mahinda Rajapaksa and first son Namal Rajapaksa would be a formidable candidate.
In fact, he could be elected uncontested.
The nominations will be closed tomorrow for the March 30 election.

Additional Complaint Information
On September 25, 2015, BBB recognized a pattern of complaints from consumers regarding service and billing issues. Consumers allege after agreeing to pay a $95.00 service fee and working time of $120.00 per hour, they are asked to sign a work order confirming the company's arrival time. Consumers further allege the business engages in high pressure sales tactics to persuade the consumer into purchasing additional sprinkler parts. Consumers claim the business attempts to charge above and beyond the agreed upon price, and adds fees for items the consumer did not agree to. Consumers report the overages listed are, paper towel fee, gas surcharge, tarp fee, towel fee, glue fee, and a fee for shovel use. Consumers further claim that when questioned about the overages, the business indicates that because the work order is signed, the consumer is responsible for all charges listed.

Complaint: I called this company out to put sprinklers in my 4 raised garden beds. The area was already pre wired and pre set on my sprinkler control panel. It should have been a quick install but that did not happen. On the contract they have you sign 2 area BEFORE they begin. 1 is the time they started and 2 is per hour charge and service call charge. During the service call the worker talked and claimed there was a cut wire somewhere under the line that was basically unfixable. After discussing this issue for over an hour he decided in his words to try one more thing that he has seen hundreds of times. Which came to be the problem. That should have been conducted first! The worker that was sent to my residence was 70+ years old and moved at the speed of a snail. I should not be charged for how long it took him to complete the entire task. Then finally at the end of the call he sat in his truck for 40min writing up the invoice I got charged for that time as well! His grandson was there to "help" him however it seemed like it was more of a learning experience for the grandson which took more time as he explained everything to him during the call. How is this all fair when I am being charged hourly. Also the parts that were charged was not what they equal out to on the back of the invoice.
Desired Settlement: I want to be refunded for 2 hours that I was charged that were not worked ($240). I want to be refunded for a gas surcharge I never agreed to ($35) I want to be refunded for a second hand tool user charge ($25) I want to be refunded for the difference of the parts added up ($167) I want to be refunded a total of $467 of the $1,449.65

Complaint: My mother is an 83 year old widow who live alone. She requested service for her already installed sprinkler system. ** ****** informed her that among other charges, she would need to pay $1,495.00 for a new controller. She does not have internet, and did not know that she needed to question the ethics of a local business man. Upon seeing this bill, I called Mr. ******* and he informed me "she signed the quote." No regard for ethics was evidenced. My brother then contacted him in writing after researching and finding his pricing to be $1300.00 over-priced. He requested that Mr. ******* surely made a mistake and would refund the money to Mrs. *******. He has not responded in over a month.
Desired Settlement: Refund of $1300.00 for erroneous charges. BBB rating of problem business.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/01/13) */ BBB Complaint No. ******** - ****** ******* I have attached (2) Agreements (July/15/2014 and 9/5/2014) for service. To whom it may concern: Ms. *. called my office and set up a service call for July 15, 2014 because she wanted her system turned on and checked out. Her controller was very old (approx. 30 years) and she had been having problems with it. I offered her the ESP Modular controller because it was very simple to program. I explained it was expensive because of the supply and demand for that unit. *********'s ESP Modular controller was the easiest controller on the market to program and very reliable, but ********* decided to discontinue this model. Its replacement is very difficult to program. I called ********* and told them that they were making a mistake. Because the ESP is such a perfect controller, I purchased all the remaining ones I could find all over the United States. I explained to Ms. * there were substantially cheaper models and/or refurbished ESP Modular controllers and gave her their prices. She chose the new, discontinued ESP Modular controller (which, of course, is not offered on the internet). I asked her to sign in the body of the Agreement that she understood and accepted the cost of $1495, before I installed it. Just for her sons information, I sold this same controller to other customers (all ages) for that same price. They, as Ms. *., are very fortunate to own them. Ms. * called again and set a service call for September 5, 2014. Her lawn was dying. She or someone had shut the controller off. I turned it back on and at her request; I reprogramed it from automatic to manual and gave her instructions on how to do it herself. She wanted to decide when to water her yard. Manual setting allows you to choose when to water. I hope her sons will now understand. Thank you, ** ******* Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/01/17) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The ******** ESP Modular controller is still available and costs around $240.00. Again, it appears the intent was to deceive about really what the options were. Perhaps motivated to make an exorbitant profit or perhaps motivated by having made advance purchase of some older stock. Either way, she was still taken advantage of. Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/02/02) */ 2nd Response and I will try to further explain. 1) I am sorry to say, but you are incorrect. The ******** ESP- Modular controller is not available. Any ******** distributor can confirm. 2) You can still get the manuals online, but not the unit. You may be confusing the replacement unit, ESP-ME, for the ESP-Modular . Unfortunately, all the ******** controllers now available are very difficult to program. Some are sold at home improvement retailers and some are sold professionally through distributors. I am called out on service calls because my customers can't figure out how to program them. I have sold many ESP-Modular unit to them because they are exceptionally easy to program and they have seen it first-hand. I am very upset at ******** for discontinuing this unit. It set them apart from other controllers on the market. As I mentioned previously, when I learned from our distributors that ******** discontinued this unit, I quickly purchased as many as I could find all over the United States. They were older stock, as you mentioned, and also are no longer manufactured. They are very valuable units. I placed an expensive price tag on them. It is up to my customers whether they want to purchase them or not. Many have and as a result, I have only (2) left. I have been doing this for 40 years and I am almost 70 years old. I am very knowable about all controllers available on the market. I am sorry to say, but you are incorrect. I did not take advantage of or deceive ****** I gave her options for substantially less expensive units, including refurbished ones and their functions along with the ESP-Modular unit, as I do with all of my customers. ****** was fully capable to decide which unit she wanted or she could have declined to purchase any. She chose the ESP Modular and approved the cost with her signature before I installed it. ****** has not contacted me about being upset. In fact, on the second service call to her property in September, I asked her if she was satisfied. She stated she was and wanted instruction to program her controller from automatic to manual. On the previously service call in July, I showed her how to program it for automatic watering. She decided she wanted to choose when to water. I gave her instructions. All she had to do when she wanted to water was to push one button. She was very happy. She called me again last month to winterize her system. I am sorry for the lengthy response, but you were not present and I am trying to fully explain what happened. I regret that you are upset and I hope you now further understand. I do my best to inform all my customers and I don't know what more I could have done. Thank you, ** *******

Additional Notes
Complaint: I shipped items I didn't want back to ** ******* that were never used. And he refused to give me a refund on them.Saying he had installed special nozzles in them,they are not special.They are reidly available and cheap.
Desired Settlement: He charge me 90.00 dollars a piece for five Hunter PGP rotary heads. I want a refund of 450.00 dollars. Bye the way,the same heads can be purchase Online for $7.49. His pricing for all of his materials and parts is ridiculous.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/10/06) */ October 4, 2014 Mr. ** did send the sprinkler heads to my office. I returned them to him. We do not accept returns on merchandise left on a job. His particular heads were loaded with a specific nozzle for the gallonage of his system. He knew the sale was final. Thank you, ** ******* Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/10/08) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I in turn sent the heads back to him. They are now in his procession. Which means he now has the heads . Most businesses I know will offer a refund, with maybe a restocking fee. **** seems to be in his own world when it come to Customer relation and how to do business. In my opinion he doesn't deserve a A+ rating on the BBB site. Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2014/10/11) */ October 10, 2014 My Second Response: I can only respond by saying I regret******* is upset. I could not have been clearer. It is our policy not to accept returns on merchandise once it is left on a job and******* understood that completely. I told him I would sell him the Hunter Gear Rotors and nozzles but he needed to make sure that is what he wanted. I could not offer a guarantee unless I installed them myself, (I certainly cannot offer a guarantee on returned merchandise). He said he understood and still wanted to purchase them. I had finished rebuilding his (5) valve center. He wanted me to install the Hunter Gear Rotors and changed his mind and wanted to do it himself. Since he is a licensed plumber, I am sure he had some idea on how to install piping. I did show him how to install the nozzles and the Rotors by installing one on his system at his request. He purchased 5 more to install himself. He asked me to load the nozzles for him and I did. They are a bit tricky to load. ******* understood the sale was final. I returned his Hunter Gear Rotors once and I will return them just one more time. Thank you, ** ******* Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2014/10/14) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Based on other peoples complaints and my complaint I'm assured that **** will continue to have more complaints from the BBS. He mention that I was a Retire Commercial Plumber,he was right. I appreciated his work, he is a good Mechanic.But his pricing of parts and materials is totally and without a doubt ridiculous. He said he was going to send the Hunter Heads back to me. Why you say. Because you know that he will just turn around and sell them again and make double if they stay in his possession. Guess what, I will send them back, I'm willing to take a lose, to make him look bad.

Complaint: Mr. ******* arrived at my house in the window of time he said he would. He inspected my outdoor controller and deemed that it needed to be replaced. He wanted to replace the old controller with a new ******** controller at a cost of $1445.00 and in addition, he wanted to place the controller in the garage for an estimated total cost of $1800.00. I told him that we would be moving in a few months and I was not interested in paying that amount. I just wanted the least expensive option. He did not offer any other options and so I said I was not interested. He went to his truck to fill out the invoice. About 5 minutes later I got a knock on the door that he had a used 2004 ******** controller that he would sell me for $795.00. Really, a 10 year old controller for for $795.00? The total estimated cost for this would be around $1200.00. I told him that the new 2014 ******** controllers were priced at $200.00 and I could not understand how he could sell a used 10 year old ******** controller for $795.00. Then he proceeded to tell me that I could not buy a ******** controller for that price and that if I tried to buy it from the ******** website that I would find out that I couldn't. I went to the ******** website, picked a controller for $195.00, and put it in my shopping cart and proceeded to the payment screen. I took a picture and sent it to him. I never got a response. I called ************************ and got a brand new ******** ESP-4 Me installed for a total of $372.40. Now where near what Mr ******* quoted me. This visit cost me $285. Here is the breakdown: $95.00 Sprinkler Service Call, $120.00 Working time charged (55 minutes), $35 Gas Surcharge, $35 Test Equipment Charge. Mrs ******* had me sign his sheet when he came in, but I didn't read the fine print. Shame on me. The Test Equipment charge was added after I signed. This fee seems ridiculous, since I paid $120 an hour for his time. Why wasn't testing the equipment not part of your time worked? This sounds like an over charge to me.
Desired Settlement: I would like my Test Equipment fee back.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/07/01) */ June 30, 2014 As per ******* statement, "he inspected my outdoor controller and deemed that it needed to be replaced. " He is correct and how I deemed it needed to be replaced was with the use of my test equipment. I suppose I could have spent more time insolating that the problem was with the controller and not with the wiring elsewhere without the use of my test equipment and came to the same result. That process would have meant ***** would be paying my hourly rate for a longer period of time and ending up costing him more with the same result. My test equipment usage saves time and money for my customers. It is also plainly listed on my Work Orders. I ask my customer's to initial the box which I highlight in bright yellow adjacent to my charges to make sure they see them before any work is performed. I am very sorry ***** missed it. It is not an over charge. It is in the agreement we both signed before any work was performed. Regarding the controller cost. ********* discontinued making the ESP Modular unit last year. It was, in my option, the best controller ********* made. It was very simple to program, durable and out lasted most controllers on the market. When I discovered ********* discontinued this model, I purchased the last available models from all over the United States. I also informed ********* that I thought they were making a big mistake. Its replacement is extremely difficult to program. This is the controller I was offering *****. Yes it is expensive, and no, you cannot purchase it from *********. ********* makes numerous "after market" controller/timers which can be purchased at ***** and **** ***** and are difficult to program and are cheaper. They also make numerous professional controllers that are more expensive. The bottom line here is we are not talking apples for apples. I was not informed by ***** that he was selling his home and wanted the cheapest fix for his problem until the end. I always offer my customer the best equipment possible and the best solutions possible, i.e., locating the controller from the outside to the inside. As in this case, outdoor controllers do not have the longevity the indoor units have. I correctly diagnosed *****'s controller issue. My customers can choose to purchase from me or decide to purchase from someone else. Thank you, ** ******* Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/07/01) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I'm not sure what test equipment ***** used, but when I watched************************ test the equipment, he used a voltage tester and determined it was not an electrical issue in less than 5 minutes. It cost me an additional $35 for ***** to use his "test equipment". Yes, *****, you got me. I signed your form without ready the fine print. Shame on me. ************************ told me up front what the posible charges would be. I didn't have to ask. My fault. I called ******** customer service. All of their household ******** controllers can be purchased online. The only controllers they may not have online are some of thier professional grade controllers which are for golf courses, football fields, etc... I asked them about these "after market" controller you mentioned. He had no idea what you were talking about. ***** and **** ***** purchase the same controller that are availble on their website. They get a bigger discount because they buy in volume. I'm still not sure how you justify selling me a 10 year old used controller for $795 when you can get a new one for $200. *****, you did not offer me the best solution possible. You did not listen to your customer. Instead you only were interested in selling what you wanted. Your estimated total with labor was $1800.00. I got a brand new ******** ESP-4 Me outdoor controller installed for a total of $372.40 from************************s ............. and in less than an hour. Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2014/07/19) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Again, I will accept responsibility for not reading the fine print of the contract and determining that in addition to the $95 Sprinkler Service Call fee and $120 Working Time charge (1 hour minimum) that there would be an $35 Gas Surcharge and a $35 dollar Test Equipment fee. One thing I do object to is the $35 dollar fee to test the equipment. As I stated before,************************s charged me a Service Call charge of $120, same as your Working Time charge, they tested the equipment, same as you, but************************s didn't charge me an extra $35 dollars for testing the equipment, the testing of the equipment was part of their Service Call charge. The second thing I object to is how you tried to sell me a used 2004 ******** controller for $795 (10 years old). That was just for the controller, that didn't include the labor cost. The 2014 models sell for $269 on the ******** web site. Also the $1445 quote you mentioned was just for the controller, you told me with labor it would be $1800. These prices seem way out of line, especially since I got a brand new ******** installed from************************s for $372.00 Final Business Response /* (4000, 13, 2014/07/23) */ I will, again, address *****'s objections 1) Objecting because another company didn't charge a test equipment fee is irrelevant. To further explain-every contractor sets their fees. There is not a universal list we adhere to or are required to adhere to. It's like everything we purchase and/or agree to purchase. It is very important to read what we are signing. It eliminates confusion. 2) Objecting to my bids to relocate and install a new or a used controller: ***** is arguing about bids I gave him and what was included. I gave him bids that included time and materials for relocating and installing a controller. It is written in the Repair Story section of our Agreement. "performed electrical diagnostic on controller. All voltage is normal @ secondary input. Display is blank. Conclusion - controller display is burned out. Suggested we install new or pre-owned ********* Controller. Customer declines both options due to cost. Suggested new unit be installed in garage, cost of new 2014 ********* controller - $1445. Cost or pre-owned 2004, 8 station -$ 795." I gave these bids which included time and materials. There is no mention of $1800. I submitted a copy of our Agreement to the BBB. I have relocated many outdoor controllers to inside garages. Outdoor units just don't last as long as indoor unites. I am not sure but it sounds like the other company did not relocate the controller. It is hard for me to understand why ***** has an objection because he declined. I regret ***** is upset. I don't know how I could have been more precise. I have been in this business 40 years. I have many satisfied and repeat customer. I have learned you cannot please everyone. Thank you, ** *******

Additional Notes
Complaint: We had a broken pipe at a valve box which needed fixed. The issue/repair needed was described over the phone to ** and he went into how long he had been in business, he was the past chairman of *** sprinkler organization and how fortunate we were to have called him and he was located only a few miles from his home and shop. This issue could most likely be FIXED under two hours. He arrived and had my wife sign and initial a form which only stated a pre-printed Service Call Fee at $95.00. He had her initial his "Arrival Time". After approx 20 min of review - turning on the water, viewing the leak, walking to his truck and retrieving a super soaker with which he removed the water from the valve box he explained to my wife how bad the whole system was. He got on the phone to me and again advised about how bad the system was and that the repair would cost a minimum of $1500.00. He then went to his car to write up his "bill" and came back with the form that was initially signed and initialed by my wife showing his Service Call and Start Time but now it was filled in with all kinds of Extra Charges like: 1. Working Time at 120.00 p/hr Total $180.00 2. Tools, Pump (his super soaker), Towel Total $65.00 3. Gas Surcharge (for the 6 miles between his place and mine) Total: $45.00 Al Sievers Sprinkler Service filled in charges that WERE NOT agreed upon and is now sending Demand Letters for payment and seems incapable of understanding why we would have any issues with anything he has done. The repair was completed by another licensed sprinkler company in the two hour estimate that was originally expected
Desired Settlement: Charges were not agreed upon and paperwork was filled in fraudulently. Waive all funds deemed due.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2013/10/20) */ To Whom It May Concern: I am attaching a copy of the Complaint I filed In Clackamas Circuit Court, Case No. ******** and the Agreement. ** ***** also filed a complaint with the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board. It is my understanding the jurisdiction now lies with the Clackamas Circuit Court. Please let me know if I still need to submit a written response to the BBB especially if you are going to publish any part of ** ***** complaint. Thank you. Sincerely, ** ****** ***SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS REDACTED BY BBB*** Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 25, 2013/11/07) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The other items were NOT filled in. The business was told where the break was (previous to site visit and in person), was shown where to turn the water on to observe the break. The business did not "discover" the break. The business never offered to repair the pipe break alone but we were advised he would not touch it and we were given the estimate of $1500.00 minimum to repair. Trying to bill us $45.00 for a gas surcharge for a 6 mile trip and $65.00 for the use of a towel and a 1 ½ hour charge for "talking" about how horrible the system was (running up charges). Pretty slimy charges especially when no repair works performed. Pipe repaired by another "ethical" company $200.00 My complaint is valid as well as the 36 other complaints filed against this company mostly stating similar complaints as ours - deception. Business ethics of this company is in the cellar. Final Business Response /* (4000, 23, 2013/11/06) */ November 6, 2013 Just as a very quick response to the last information reiterated by ****** The Pre-printed charges on the Agreement are not just the $95.00, Sprinkler Service Call. ******left out the Working Time charged @ $120.00 per hour (1 hr. min), and the Gas surcharge amount written in as 45.00. In this case, had the pipes not blown the total bill would have been: $260.00 which included discovering and correcting the problem with the system being dead. Because there was water flowing all over the place due to the pipes coming apart when the water was turned back on, did I continue (with *** * present every minute) to determine the cause. After digging and pumping I did discover the pipes blown apart (defective workmanship by others) which incurred more of my time and usage of the supplies and equipment. The $1500 estimated amount given was to rebuild the valve center, otherwise the pipe repair alone would have been under $200.00. ******stopped the repairs. Now the total bill is: $385.00. All charges were accepted by ***** with her signature at the bottom of the Agreement and also accepted by her initials. If she did not understand, she should have not agreed. I never sign or agree to anything without reading and understanding it. I have to assume my customer do the same. I HIGHLIGHT IN BRIGHT YELLOW. I handed her the clip board and said I needed her signature and initials in the highlighted areas. ****** could have taken as much time as she needed to read the agreement. She did so and handed the clipboard back to me. If she had any questions, I would have been happy to answer them. This is my offer: 1) Bill owing: $385.00 ( total owing after correcting my addition error) 2) Incurred expense of the Small Claims matter: $53.00 (filing fee) and $36.00 (Service Fee) 3) Total: $474.00 4) Minus $60.00 5) New Total: $414.00 (Net savings of $60.00). If acceptable I will dismiss the Small Claims action.

- This scene does not have any comments yet!
It might be the start of a karate class, but these guys are not going to be thinking about their fighting for long. Instead they are distracted by their wonderful bodies and just need to be able to taste each other's dicks. Janos Volt, Anthony Okamoto and Chris Russel end up in a gay sex triangle that ends in happiness for everyone. They are moaning in pleasure with each touch, getting more and more worked up as they fuck on the mats. You might not think that a karate school is the perfect place to fuck, but those mats are comfy as hell.

Min Goodwin stumbled upon her calling as a window dresser after volunteering in a Mercy Hospice Shop. She tells reporter DANIELLE STREET why she reckons she landed the coolest job ever.
Most days you could probably catch a glimpse of Min Goodwin wrestling with a mannequin in the window of an op-shop somewhere around Auckland.
The vivacious Remuera resident spends her working week between six of the region's Mercy Hospice Shops, creating window displays that impress passerbys.
"There is a walking group that goes past one of my shops every week to check the window and offer me their friendly critique," she laughs. "I've definitely got my fans."
Ms Goodwin began volunteering at the Mt Eden hospice shop seven years ago, shortly after the death of a friend who had spent time in the Mercy Hospice while ill. The mother-of-two began dabbling in window dressing and before long she discovered she had found her forte - which soon became a fulltime job.
When creating her displays inspiration comes in many forms, sometimes it is a theme suggested by her teenage daughter or a striking garment begging to be shown, and other times shop workers will put aside items of interest.
"One time we got this amazing set of swimwear which were like James Bond-style swimsuits from Hawaii.
"I put them in the window display and they were sold within seconds."
Ms Goodwin shies away from making displays for Valentine's Day and Easter in favour of creating something less predictable and "more eye-catching".
So instead of focusing on traditional events, she has conceptualised windows around more Kiwi-centric occasions like the 2011 Rugby World Cup, a tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary and Anzac Day.
"Someone donated a set of postcards from the war that I used in an Anzac display in Pt Chevalier.
"There were men standing outside the window getting a bit teary because of where they had been."
Ms Goodwin says while adorning the shop fronts is fun, it is the people that really make the job.
The stores attract staff and customers who have a personal connection with the hospice and want to show their appreciation by giving something back, whether it be donating goods or donating time.
It's a feeling Ms Goodwin can relate to - her own mother died at the hospice three years ago.
Seeing the care and attention that her mother received on her deathbed made the importance of her work really hit home.
"I see it as a job that helps people, everything we do goes back to the patients at the hospice, the work they do there is just incredible."
The support offered in the hospice is echoed through the stores and often staff will take time to sit with a customer who has recently lost a loved one. In that aspect it is a job full of highs and lows - but Ms Goodwin wouldn't trade it for anything.
"It's just the coolest job, every day is different," she says. "Some days you can laugh until your tummy hurts and then other days you have a customer that breaks your heart."

[Thoughts from MauSe]
[Verse 1]
Body out of order
Alcohol flowing, not a lot of water
Manslaughter with the magic marker
In the lobby of Madison Square Garden, I loiter
The Knicks just got Kenny Walker
Bernard King is the best scorer
Still a sketch drawer, had a fresh aura
Married to my art, but my style just altered
Ya see, ya see I'm sloppy 'round borders
My man told me about chalk he had imported
The rumor 'round town is he snorted
He said he was drawing, oh that's what you call it? Heh...
Nose candy, made his whole soul happy
In cold alley's in the gutter like a bowling alley
I caught a strike when he tried to throw it at me
Ironically I took a hit like a soldier rally
White lines is a vacation
I seen Keith Haring use it in the train station
He drew it out like he was play making
It was cleaner than spray painting
I had a new safe haven
Took me a while, but I became patient
Like an AIDS patient, that's waiting up for a grave placement
My whole style shifted, lifted, hit it and got addicted from the moment I sniffed it
MauSe was introduced to Chalk by one of his good friends. To me its a double entendre in the sense that he actually also drew with chalk. After frequently using chalk, MauSe then falls into a coma in his hotel room and Fab 5 Freddy finds him and takes him to hospital, in which he is terribly sick and having hallucinatory visions.

Latest gaming accessory: a blacked out gas maskPocket-lint
Robin Arnott is a sound designer by day, would be games developer by night, but his first creation is likely to terrify you.
The premise of Deep Sea is a simple one. All you've got to do is find an underwater monster by working out where it is in the murky depths and then shooting it.
Sounds easy doesn't it, until you find out that you've not only got to do it by sound alone, but that you'll be wearing a blacked out gas mask that monitors your breathing and then feeds the noise back into the headphones your wearing so you can't so easily hear what's going on.
The more you breath, the more the bubbles and exaggerated breathing sounds block your ability to hear the monster and guidance from a helping voice that will tell you if you are "too far left" or "too far right".
Manage to shoot the leviathan and another one comes after you, this time harder, and they'll continue to do so until you die.
"It's a very negative game," confesses Arnott to Pocket-lint at E3 just as we are about to have a go ourselves.
To say the experience will be seen by many as scary is an understatement.
Once that mask is on and the groans of a monster somewhere in the distance start all that's left for you to do is concentrate and move a joystick around to hone in on the noise.
Breathing becomes difficult, not because you are physically restricted, but because if you stop breathing you can hear what's going on and therefore have a better chance to surviving longer.
Needless to say we found ourselves doing this as it was our only hope of surviving.
"It's all about playing by sound rather than sight," explains a rather scatty Arnott to us after we've re-surfaced. "Whether you hold your breath or breath slowly the game physically challenges you."
It's certainly a trend that we are starting to see. No longer are games to be played slouched on the sofa. Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's PlayStation Move tell us that we are supposed to be as energetic as possible, and this plays on an untapped experience – sound.
"I see the game as like asteroids, but for your ears," Arnott adds before telling us that sadly there are no plans to release Deep Sea.
We can understand why. We aren't sure of any developer brave enough to sell you a gas mask with any game let alone one that expects you wear it.
That probably good news to a few gamers we saw or heard didn't like the experience too much at E3. Turns out strapping a gas mask on that doesn't let you see anything, while feeding back the sound of your breathing to a pair of headphones you're wearing isn't everyone's cup of tea.

U.S. government may ban in-flight cellphone calls, airlines voice disapprovalThe U.S. Department of Transportation is reportedly inching closer to signing off on new rules that would restrict the use of cellphones on planes, but carriers say the judgment should be up to them.
Citing people who attended a speech given by DOT general counsel Kathryn Thomson at the International Aviation Club in Washington last week, The Wall Street Journal reports the agency is taking steps toward formally banning cellular phone calls made during U.S. flights.
According to two spokespeople, the DOT is preparing a "notice of proposed rulemaking" that applies to in-flight calls, though the contents of said regulations has yet to be decided. The report notes, however, that the agency has been looking to end potentially disruptive voice calls under consumer protection laws that require airlines to provide "safe and adequate" service.
Some airlines have already chosen to place their own restrictions on in-flight cellphone calling, but others that want to use the feature as a way to stand apart from the competition argue the Transportation Department is overstepping its bounds.
Use of personal electronic devices has been a heated topic for travelers since Apple helped usher in the rise of smartphones in 2007. In 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration announced a rule modification that allows passengers to operate PEDs gate-to-gate, overturning a long-standing restriction that prohibited use below an altitude of 10,000 feet. The FAA did not, however, include cellular calling in its rule change, meaning smartphones still need to be in Airplane Mode during all phases of flight.
A report in November noted that the Federal Communications Commission was debating a change to current in-flight calling rules that would allow carriers to decide whether to extend the feature to passengers. After a meeting in December, the FCC officially proposed a measure, but a formal rule has yet to be issued.
The DOT is set to publish the proposed rulemaking document in December. In the case that its decision conflicts with an FCC mandate, the DOT's determination would take precedent.
