Company: Jill Kelly Productions
Cast: Nikki Loren, Randy Spears, Tyce Bune, August, George Kablan, Alexis Amore, Jenna Haze, Cindy Crawford, Steve Hatcher, Cherokee (III)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Hot couples-intended action.
Who says a couples title has to be dull? The plot is borrowed from the Angelina Jolie/Antonio Bandana film Original Sin (which, btw, was dullsville aside from Jolie's nudity). Alexis Amore is imported by Randy Spears, who is looking to marry the Brazilian hottie. Mystery, intrigue and, most importantly, mucho sexo soon follow.
Alexis is the main attraction and does a fair share of the romping. As for the guys, Spears wins the prize for sticking his prick in the most holes. Very solid sex scenes and shot quite well.
Pre-nom for Best Videography.

Look at the DXOMark numbers for Aptus 75s, P45+ and Canon 5DII. It has the Canon with higher dynamic range (actual number of stops). That's the biggest bunch of bullshit I have ever seen.
I don't use these camera side by side, but when I shot a Phase p 30 (I think) and the 1Ds3 in a controlled test with strobes in the studio last fall, I did not see any appreciable difference in DR. This was shooting RAW and trying various converters. Even hunting around in shadows and using + exposure looking at the "shadow detail", there was very little difference in detail. The Canon did show more noise when boosting the shadows 2 or more stops looking for differences. Though I have never shot in image in real life where I have had to boost shadows by two or more stops. The highlights seemed to clip right around the same point too, showing not much difference in DR.Other than that, I have not shot MF and current 35 systems side by side in any controlled manner...
In discussing the evaluation errors that DxO Mark introduces in measuring MF vs DSLR cameras, (Eyes vs. Numbers which to believe? ) Michael said "DSLRs also apply a lot of noise reduction algorithms before storing the data." That's the first time I've ever heard of that. I thought RAW was raw, not processed in any way. Where does that info come from?
Do some reading of the technical literature. A sensor is an analogue device. It produces a voltage varying by how much light hits each photo site. That voltage then needs to be converted to a digital signal. Virtually all sensor chips have some image processing done on chip, sometimes at the analogue stage, sometimes at the digital stage.CCD chips produce more heat and consume more power than CMOS and therefore their designers prefer to move processing to the computer rather that having to have power hungry and heat producing ASICs on board. Also, by moving the primary noise reduction to post processing they provide the user with more control over the process (at least in theory), since much of the fixed pattern NR is done to the image prior to delinerarization and matrix decoding.Michael
Could the low DxOMark Sensor scores be impacted by the generally low "Low-Light ISO" scores of these backs? I'm wondering if they generate the DxOMark Sensor score based off an average of the ISO sensitivity, SNR, Dynamic Range , tonal range, etc...?
Huh?Could you point me to the technical literature that proves the dSLR manufacturers perform noise reduction (by definition in the digital domain) before committing to raw? Can they do that? Of course they can. Do they do that? I suspect that no one allowed to say knows, so I would be (pleasantly) surprised if this info exists in any technical literature in the public domain.
DXO has no credibility at all ... without any interest for me

Cherry Smash
From EatingWell: July/August 2009
Celebrate fresh cherries with this mint-infused cherry cocktail. Black cherry-flavored seltzer gives the drink the most cherry flavor, but plain seltzer also works well.
4 Reviews for Cherry Smash
Love this drink! The cherries make it really different from the normal type of citrus drink. The rum (aka BOOZE) is awesome with it...adds a whole new dimension of flavor. This one is a keeper.
of course you can leave out the rum
it look great until i saw the rum in it! but i wonder if you can leave out the rum? please forgive me, bu it just seem that when you see something real good it has some kind of boos in it...

The suspect or suspects entered the hunting club's building at 4544 Mike Padgett Highway by removing the fan from the roof vent, moving the ceiling tiles and dropping to the floor, according to a Richmond County sheriff's report.
The building was ransacked, an employee told deputies on Thursday. It was not immediately clear if anything inside the building was taken, but the burglar also removed the interior components of two other air conditioning units, causing $500 in damage to each. The lock on a membership box, which sits outside, was cut and an unknown amount of money was taken, according to the report.

Watch Steve Begleiter's main event journey every Tuesday night at 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. ET
Right before the start of Day 7 in Las Vegas, my phone rang. My brother, who isn't really a poker fan whatsoever, had caught onto something during this year's coverage. He told me that a former Bear Stearns employee was still in the field and had a solid chip stack. Now, if there's one thing I know about my brother is that he doesn't just bring things to my attention for any reason. This guy would be a big deal. Without hesitation, I found this Steven Begleiter guy and introduced myself, prepared to follow his action throughout the final two days. Sure enough, around 40 hours later, Begleiter would be standing in front of a pile of cash next to eight other men, each with hopes of becoming poker's world champion.
It's tough to defeat 6,485 players during a poker tournament and be modest about it, but it seems that Begleiter has accomplished both challenges with ease. Begleiter, a 47-year-old father of three from Chappaqua, N.Y., enters the WSOP main event final table third in chips and, as if he needed some additional pressure, isn't playing only for himself, but for 21 others who share a total of 20 percent of his winnings as a result of Begleiter's winning his seat from a local poker league.
The former Bear Stearns executive is now a senior principal at Flexpoint Ford, a private equity firm focused on financial services and health care. Begleiter has remained busy at work during the four-month hiatus and believes that keeping on task has been a great distraction from the final table ahead.
"Some of the guys at the final table are only poker players," said Begleiter. "They get up every day and play poker, unless it's maybe a day they get up and choose not to. I'm not. I don't play poker all the time so I need something else to occupy my mind. Otherwise, I'd go crazy thinking of the final table and all the dynamics of it. I have a very good job. It's a very fulfilling job and it requires my full mental commitment, and while I've sacrificed some of it to prepare for the main event, it's still my weekly bread and butter and it's been a blessing to keep my mind off of November 7th."
Splitting the focus between poker and work has been a success so far for Begleiter, who admitted that he won't be playing any poker after the middle of October until he arrives in Las Vegas. Concentrating on the final table, he doesn't have a game plan yet, but as he said on the Inside Deal, he didn't have much of a game plan in July except for the plan of reaching this point. Comparing himself to the likes of Phil Ivey, he believes he isn't the best player at the table, and he is constantly working toward honing his skills through talking through situations with people he respects.
The Breakdown: Steven Begleiter
Being in the financial world, Steven Begleiter is used to seeing money change hands on a daily basis. However, on Nov. 7, it will be up to Begleiter to see if he can add another $8.5 million to his portfolio.
Key stats:
Age: 47
Current position: Third
Chip count: $29.89 million
Tournament winnings: $1,292,842
WSOP final tables: 1
WSOP cashes: 1
Given his recent actions at the poker table, he's the one that many have come to respect. Begleiter finished ninth at the Legends of Poker World Poker Tour stop weeks after the final table concluded. Without a question, people began to notice. As he headed to London for the World Series of Poker Europe main event, he caught up with a number of well-known players who he now recognizes as opponents during his main event run. The difference is now they want to talk to him. He's taking everything in stride, enjoying the fleeting poker spotlight and understanding that what lies ahead will solely depend on his finish in November.
"My results will define a little bit what my opportunities are," he said. "I hope to play the main event every year, that's a lot of fun. How much I do beyond that will depend how well I do I really haven't spent much time thinking about it. I really got to do well on November 7th."
There were times during a recent conversation when Begleiter referred to himself as the "everyman." He said that anyone can win and all it takes is a little determination and focus.
"You need to be thinking the whole time," he said regarding what it would take for an amateur to make it deep. "You get two cards and you get to observe people and you have total control over your decision-making process. I learned a lot during the course of the main event. Anyone can get in there, get some cards, get some chips and figure things out that weren't apparent to them at the start -- and if things break their way, they can do very well."
Being surrounded by those who care for you also helps you keep on task, and when the cards hit the air in the Penn & Teller Theater, Begleiter's support staff will be present. He admits that it's hard to keep track of who is coming, but Begleiter's league mates as well as family will do what they can to help him out. Even though his children can't be table-side, they'll still be with him throughout the night.
"It's going to be a very nice feel for me having everyone around," said Begleiter, who noted that he was trying to get his children to be in the theater, but due to age restrictions, will have to find an alternate method to watch the event.
No matter where he finishes, the experience is going to be one that he'll remember. His contacts in the financial world seem to be endless, and he is reaching a similar level in the poker industry through just these few months of exposure.
"I've met a lot of people in the poker world and I've really enjoyed it," he said. "I now have another niche in my life where I can really be comfortable. Any given Sunday I can compete with the top poker players. I'm not saying I'm better than them, but I have a chance."
During the last few days in Vegas, he proved it. Watching his chip count go up and down, Begleiter maintained his composure and pulled through. Making it to the final table in third was just the first step, but playing the final table is a completely different beast.
"Day 8, when the pressure was really on, I thought I played well and made the right decisions," he said. "I think it's going to take a lot of patience and discipline [to win the final table]. The normal war of attrition will require a number of levels to be played, and I'm going into this game well-rested, well-prepared to hopefully go way past midnight.
"I think it's important not to think of [the final table] as too important," he continued. "I think you need to go in there and just be ready to play your game. I just want to go in on November 7th the same way I went in on Day 8 in Vegas."
Day 8 was the first time that Begleiter began to realize the championship could be his. As players began to drop around him and only 14 players remained, Begleiter was sitting in a very special place.
"I was sitting in a seat where I was sort of staring at the case where the bracelet was kept," he said. "I remember looking up and thinking 'Wow, that's the bracelet. I actually have a chance. Don't blow it.'"
Will Begleiter be able to turn what was simply an enjoyable home game experience into a dream result? If he does, we might be looking at 22 smiling faces with one family-oriented man holding the biggest prize that poker has to offer. For now, the modesty shines through, as Begleiter smiled with only one thing left to say: "I think I really won just being at the final table."

Economic Scene
Looking Inside the Brains of the Stingy
By VIRGINIA POSTREL
Published: February 27, 2003
HERE's a game economists play: Player 1 has $10 and can give any dollar amount to Player 2. Player 2 can either accept or reject it. If Player 2 accepts, they both keep the money. If Player 2 rejects it, neither player gets anything.
What should the players do? Arguably, Player 2 should accept whatever is offered, since some money is better than none. Player 1 should thus offer as little as possible: $1. That strategy is the standard game-theory equilibrium.
But that's not necessarily what happens when real people play this "ultimatum game" in laboratory settings with real money on the line. Faced with low-ball offers, many Player 2's reject them. And many Player 1's make more generous offers, often nearly half the money.
"About half the subjects that we observed played according to the way the game theory said people should play, and about half didn't," said Kevin McCabe, an economist and director of the Behavioral and Neuroeconomics Laboratory at George Mason University.
The Player 1's who do not follow the presumably rational strategy often wind up better off. Even without communicating with fellow players, they are able to cooperate for mutual benefit.
Why do people react differently to the same situation? And why do so many people give up money to punish anonymous cheapskates?
Experimental economists have mapped out these anomalies and tested how much they affect economic interactions. Now a new field, called neuroeconomics, is using the tools of neuroscience to find the underlying biological mechanisms that lead people to act, or not act, according to economic theory.
In neuroeconomics, volunteers go through exercises developed by experimental economists studying trust or risk. Instead of simply observing subjects' behavior, however, researchers use imaging technologies, like M.R.I.'s, to see which brain areas are active during the experiment.
Researchers at Princeton, for instance, have found that receiving low-ball offers stimulates the part of the brain associated with disgust. "They can predict with good reliability, from looking at the brain, what a person will do," said Colin F. Camerer, an economist at the California Institute of Technology. "People whose brains are showing lots of disgust will reject offers."
Professor Camerer says looking inside the brain's "black box" is like looking inside a company. Traditionally, economists treated a company as a largely automatic "production function" that turns labor, capital and resources into output. Over the last several decades, however, many economists have turned their attention to understanding companies' internal workings. Most prominently, "agency theory" examines how companies can be governed to encourage employees (the "agents") to pursue the goals of the owners, rather than their personal agendas.
This research hasn't replaced the production-function approach, but it has enriched economists' understanding of company behavior. Neuroeconomists want to do something similar for how individuals make economic choices.
"Neuroeconomics could be to consumer theory what agency theory is to the production-function approach," Professor Camerer said.
While many economists remain skeptical, neuroscientists have welcomed the interest.
"Anyone working with the brain likes this approach because economists have these nicely defined behavioral models," said Paul Zak, an economist and director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University.
Neuroscientists do experiments like looking at which parts of the brain are active when someone looks at photographs and decides which faces are trustworthy. Neuroeconomists don't just ask people to use their imaginations, though — they have subjects play laboratory games to find out what happens in real interactions.
Professor Zak and his colleagues study trust with a variation of the ultimatum game. Each player receives $10. Player 1 gets an additional $10. Players interact anonymously over computers. Player 1 can send any whole-dollar amount to Player 2. Whatever he sends is tripled, so a $5 gift turns into $15. Finally, Player 2 can return some of the money to Player 1.
If Player 1 expects Player 2 not to send any money in return, Player 1 will keep the initial stake. That's the game's standard equilibrium.
"In fact," Professor Zak said, "most people send about half of their stake to Player 2. They're signaling that they want to trust them." In response, about 75 percent of the Player 2's return some money, making both better off.
"Even though we can't see each other and we don't know each other, we understand the other person as a human being," Professor Zak said. Extrapolating from animal results, he hypothesized that the hormone oxytocin, which is associated with social bonding, might play a role.
"When you read the studies on lower mammals," he said, "everything suggests that this is a candidate to induce trustworthiness because it's something that you would not consciously be aware of and yet it would influence decision making."

ALPINE, Calif. (AP) -- The Border Patrol says arrests in the San Diego region last year fell by about one-third to its lowest level in more than four decades.
San Diego Chief Patrol Agent Paul Beeson said at a community meeting in Alpine Wednesday that agents made about 28,400 apprehensions in the sector during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. There were about 42,000 arrests the previous year.
Last year's tally is lowest since 1968 in the San Diego sector _ the busiest corridor for illegal immigration into the U.S. from Mexico until the late 1990s. A crackdown launched in the mid-1990s pushed traffic to Arizona.
The Border Patrol has not released national apprehension tallies for 2012. The 2011 total was the lowest since 1971.

Medvedev Promises More Election Change to Boost Political System
President Dmitry Medvedev said he will continue changing electoral law to ensure more parties join parliament, part of efforts to decentralize the power structure created by his predecessor Vladimir Putin.
"Our political system requires further improvement," Medvedev said outside Moscow today. Proposals probably "won't be limited" to a bill to cut the threshold for parties to win seats in the State Duma to 5 percent, he told the leaders of parties represented in parliament, without providing details of additional initiatives.
Putin, now prime minister, centralized power and sidelined opposition in his eight years as president and remains at the center of decision-making after making way for Medvedev in 2008. Medvedev has vowed to loosen federal control and grant more economic freedom to regions and municipalities.
Pro-government parties control 87 percent of seats in the lower house of parliament, or State Duma. The bill to reduce the existing 7 percent parliamentary barrier, imposed during Putin's presidency, would come into force after elections in December.
The ruling United Russia party, led by Putin, plans to "maintain its position" in parliament, Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov said. United Russia holds 315 of the Duma's 450 seats.
Medvedev said he hopes the parliamentary campaign will be "open and honest'' and that voting will be "absolutely fair.''

Re: Financial Follies that Break the Relationsh
Thanks beamMEup and IOAB for the input. I wish it were as simple as pointing out how much interest she is paying every month, but I don't think even that would convince her to pay it off. The funny thing is her credit score is only about 20 points lower than mine so it just goes to show that high FICO scores do not necessarily translate into good financial sense. The worst part is that if she is like this now, I can only imagine how she'll be 5 or 10 years from now when she has to start paying on her SLs and start living on her own. I don't think I want to stick around to see that all play out, especially since she has never worked full-time for more than 2 or 3 weeks in her lifetime (more like 15 hours a week) at the age of 22. Sigh...she's a great gal but it's things like this that really make me wonder why I'm still with her. Hopefully she'll get her act together sooner rather than later but I'm not counting on it.
Starting Scores (lender pull 3/27/10): 759 (EQ), 752 (TU), 749 (EX)

I would like to say something clever in my first post, but testing generics has my brain tied up in knots.
I am currently an SDET in .Net Compact Framework at Microsoft testing security and generics. Its been 2 years for me on this team and I have to say it is the best team I have worked with so far.
It has been customary for me to post some code on my first blog and I am not about to break that tradition today. So here it is:
main(int argc, char **argv)
while (*argv != argv[1] && (*argv = argv[1]) && (argc = 0) || (*++argv
&& (**argv && ((++argc)[*argv] && (**argv <= argc[*argv] ||
(**argv += argc[*argv] -= **argv = argc[*argv] - **argv)) &&
--argv || putchar(**argv) && ++*argv--) || putchar(10))))
You should be able to compile this code in VS. Try figuring out what it does ...

He is calling all believers to embrace the anointing of the Hoy Spirit and walk in His divine power to change the world. The harvest is plentiful and the coming end-time revival needs a vibrant, anointed church that is ready to receive that harvest. God doesn t use just superstars ; He longs to anoint ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He longs to anoint you. If not you, who? If not now, when? Now is the time!

Forget full drives, embrace "The Cloud" (1:58) is the name of a clip which appeared on TV ONE news this evening.
There is a linkage between this clip and our next series of architect events scheduled for November through February.
This clip basically describes how Microsoft is building large data centres which operate 'in the cloud' and discusses some of Microsoft's efforts in this area, Microsoft's competitors efforts and attempts to give a brief description of the likely changes 'cloud computing' will bring about.
For those who have been attending our architect forums or keeping track of MSDN you will recognise this clip as referring to what has become known as Software plus Services (S+S).
The timing of this clip could not be more perfect – we have just released a downloadable white paper entitled "Introducing the Azure Services Platform". The Azure services platform is a group of cloud technologies, each providing a specific set of services to application developers. To put it another way, quoting from the white paper: "At a high level, Windows Azure is simple to understand: It's a platform for running Windows applications and storing their data in the cloud."
The components of the Azure Services Platform can be used by local applications running on a variety of systems, including various flavours of Windows, mobile devices, and others. *1
For additional information here is a link to Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's Chief Architect, discussing Azure at PDC.
The Azure services platform is one of the new technologies being announced at PDC which is now on in Los Angeles. We have a number of folk, mostly customers and partners, who are either currently at PDC or who are attending follow up events. These folk will be presenting back to the rest of the NZ Architect community at our architect events in November through February next year. So there you go – there is the link to what you saw on TV One tonight and a way of learning so much more ... respond to your invites to the next lot of architect events and do check out that downloadable white paper .
*1: Those components include:
- Windows Azure: Provides a Windows-based environment for running applications and storing data on servers in Microsoft data centers.
- Microsoft .NET Services: Offers distributed infrastructure services to cloud-based and local applications.
- Microsoft SQL Services: Provides data services in the cloud based on SQL Server.
- Live Services: Through the Live Framework, provides access to data from Microsoft's Live applications and others. The Live Framework also allows synchronizing this data across desktops and devices, finding and downloading applications, and more.

County denies EMS rate increase
Published: Thursday, January 26, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 26, 2006 at 7:12 a.m.
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners has denied an Emergency Medical Services ambulance rate increase following billing mistakes that angered thousands of patients and left $2.8 million in county revenue uncollected.
What else?
Last week, the Henderson County Board of Commissioners held a seven-hour meeting, during which they dealt with a range of county business including:
The creation of a tax-deductible aid fund for Hendersons sister county, Hancock in Mississippi. Hancock was the site of Hurricane Katrinas last land fall and sustained major damage.
A resolution calling on the General Assembly to fund DuPont State Forest at a higher level. The forest, which falls partly in Transylvania County, has drawn about 1 million visitors.
A review of criteria for anyone wanting to serve as background audio on the countys government channel, cable Channel 11. WHKP-1450 AM currently does this but commissioners said they will end that relationship. Criteria include prohibitions against commercial, religious or editorial broadcasts.
A 3-2 vote in favor of a three-year lease for parking spaces at the Curb Market. The monthly $1,000 lease would provide parking for the rehabilitated historic county courthouse.
A lease to give the Historic Courthouse Corporation museum and historic exhibition space in the courthouse.
Semi-annual performance reports by non-profit agencies receiving county money.
A pledge of $8,500 to the restoration of the Lewis Creek Restoration/Nature Trail project
Source: T-N Staff
Last week commissioners voted 3-2 to deny a mileage rate increase, the majority saying the EMS billing situation should be resolved before passing on any more costs to patients. Commissioners Shannon Baldwin, Larry Young and Board Vice Chairman Charlie Messer voted no. Chairman Bill Moyer and Commissioner Chuck McGrady voted yes.
Also at a Jan. 18 regular meeting, the commissioners reviewed a local flu pandemic plan that the public is not allowed to see.
The EMS ambulance rate increase would have generated an additional $8,000 to $10,000 annually, according to county staff and would be allowed by Medicare. EMS is a county department.
But Messer said some of that increase would be borne by patients because Medicare would not cover the entire amount. Medicare, the federal health-care insurance program for people age 65 and over, sets amounts health-care providers can charge for certain procedures. But it does not pay that entire amount, leaving in some cases 20 percent to be covered by individuals or secondary insurance.
"I've got a problem (with) voting for something of an increase when we still have a problem," Messer said.
Moyer tried to make the point that the county would be denying itself the ability to collect additional federal and state dollars.
"We can certainly deal with your question, but this is Medicare (approved)," the chairman said.
Baldwin though said he would vote against the raise out of principle.
"It's the idea that we would raise the rate even one penny considering what we have done," he said.
The billing problem first came to light in November when 11,000 notices went out to past patients telling them they owed money on bills as far back as 2002. The notices threatened to take outstanding amounts out of state income tax refunds or use other collection means.
Most said they had given insurance information and thought the bills were paid.
Flooded with complaints, EMS and other county officials said there had been a mistake with filing bills with Medicare and secondary insurance. They called off the collection action and apologized to notice recipients.
One of two billing clerks who worked with EMS for 15 years left her job after the incident.
Commissioners questioned how the mistake could have gone unnoticed for three years.
County Finance Director Carey McLelland responded with new auditing proposals. He also took over EMS billing and is attempting to collect outstanding money from Medicare and private insurers. He changed Medicare filing from paper to electronic and that has increased turnaround time, he said.
Asked last week how much of the $2.8 million is uncollectable, McLelland said he was not sure yet.
Flu plan
Commissioners also reviewed a local flu pandemic plan that is confidential and not available to the public.
Concerns over a flu pandemic arose after news of potential avian flu outbreaks in Asia and other parts of the world. Birds can harbor various types of flu viruses that are harmful or deadly to them. Trouble can come when that virus adapts to humans.
County Emergency Management Director Rocky Hyder presented the "Incident Action Plan," which details how the county should respond if many people fall ill from the flu.
Hyder gave copies of the plan to commissioners but not the media.
"It's confidential," he said. "It's basically the same plan that we would use to respond to a biological attack."
In the past, officials have said such plans include who would be vaccinated first and when to use quarantines.
Commissioners passed a resolution calling for North Carolina's senators and members of Congress to help health boards get flu vaccine. The resolution called for set prices on vaccines, bulk purchase by the federal government and delivery to public agencies first.

Dr Iacono quite properly adds this important neurosurgical technique to the discussion of brachial plexus palsy rehabilitation. All of our adults with pain and no neurological return were referred to us after neurosurgical evaluations. Three of the nine with refractory pain had undergone dorsal root neurosurgical procedures, without success, before referral here.This points up the need for the interdisciplinary approach in these complex areas. Unfortunately, in this regard, we also neglected to recognize the input of our orthotist, Jack Greenfield, CO, creator of the "gunslinger" brace used for these patients.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Granted, it is all about anal - but there's more to a successful scene than the mere act of buggery. As rollicking as the action gets, there's precious little intimate attraction on display. This is simply an inevitable fact in the business; a roll of the carnal dice as to which performers (many of whom are meeting for the first time) will ignite and which will phone it in. We think the winner today was Pac Bell.
With aggressive throat fucking that occurs between hot shots in the ass, Mika and Andrew Andretti nab the coveted "highlight of the video" spot. Clearly their chemistry is bubbling over here, and what's more, Mika limits her-dirty-talk-to-the-camera to a bare minimum. Perhaps it's the insincere yakkity-yak factor pervading the other segments that do them in. The girls spend far too much time trying to get the viewer hot rather than their partner; a distracting technique that too many directors employ without restraint.
Retailing: Black, Asian and caucasian babes indicate a place in the ethnic section.

DRM does not prevent pirates from pirating.All DRM does it harm the legitimate consumer.
i like when people say "this product was pirated more than it would have been because of this". thats all BS, all games are pirated a lot. I will say games with DRM are harder to pirate and usually arent pirated as much. still pirated but not as much as games who are "consumer friendly".
I can understand the DRM but why do we have to play on their servers?Even if we had to link up out serial key everytime we played that would be fine because it wouldn't depend on their ****** servers and they would only need one or two servers worldwide to handle that simple task.

Hi there. I've been on MTF HRT for about a month and a half now. My nipples are really sore and I knew that would happen. Sore and they feel thick. For those who have experienced it... how many months will the soreness endure?
Posted by: o. ( ayearofholidays)
Posted at: December 30th, 2006 09:11 am (UTC)
it should start to fade soonish. mine were sore for only about 2 months, but then they become sore again when they grow more. oh, the price of boobies.

small price to pay, really.
At least you're getting something out of it. Last time my nipples were sore (when I was 13-14) I didn't even get itty-bitty-titties out of the deal. ;_;

They'll be sore every time they grow. On initial doese of HRT that should mean at least three years of growth, although I know girls who have been on HRT over six years who are still experiencing growth and its accompanying soreness.

If it makes you feel any better (and it probably won't), but biowomen get the same annoying soreness. It can be on and off for a couple of years.
I'm ftm. If memory serves as I try to block out as much of female puberty as possible, I was in a ton of pain for 2 years from 8 to 10, then a few year break when they didn't grow more, then they started to grow again in my late teens and it hurt for about another year, another year or two break, then a year of Ow! Ow! Ow! Knock on wood no more pain since then.

I've been on HRT for a few weeks and I just noticed the soreness a few days ago. I guess it isn't as sore as everyone elses, or maybe they are more sensitive and later on they will be sore. But I really am enjoying the sensations. Like when my shirt brushes against my nipples. I dunno.

exquisite ~ this is fabulous!
Another great art!!!
Wow she really stares into you soul. She's fixed on you. The whole thing has an organic combination of textures and rough colours. Her passive expression is quite disconcerting as she stares at you as though she's sizing you up. There's an industrial quality to it all as well. With the textures used and the forms at the bottom.
Featured in portuguese blog Coisas da Interwebs. Have an awesome weekend. If you could please share this feature, I'd really appreciate it, as lots of hard work goes into finding and selecting all the awesome art and running the blog. Thanks!
wow - beautiful!!!!
!YAY!YAY!YAY! ... !YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Kaptain Kwirk & Kalamity Kiki
she. is. magnificent!
amazing work
She kinda looks like me! xD
great form.
What a beautiful face!!

You're so fu**ing amazing!!
great portrait. i like drawing portraits, my favorite thing to draw.
The face of reality. You cant trick here, you cant decive her, you cant pray for mery. She sees you the way you are.
She's a cutey! =3
Very pretty!
Beautiful. I love how I can (almost guaranteed!) look at a work and know it is yours. Such an amazing style and talent.
This is awesome and if I had the money and this was set to print I would buy it.

THIBODAUX — For over 10 years, Stacy Savoy has dedicated her life to those in need, especially, she said, children.
And last week, Savoy, a food-program manager for the parish, was rewarded for her efforts by being named Feburary's Employee of the Month for Lafourche Parish.
Savoy is responsible for overseeing the Child-Adult Food Care Program, which provides reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks served in family day-care homes.
"It's more than a job," Savoy said. "I enjoy being able to help people who are less fortunate than me."
On any given day, Savoy helps many of the 368 children and 70 providers she is charged with overseeing in the three parish region of Lafourche, Terrebonne and Assumption.
"I deal with people on a day-to-day basis," Savoy said. "I love helping people."
Before Savoy took the position of Child-Adult Food Care Program manager in 2006, she started as a teacher in Head Start in 1999.
"I love working with children and family," Savoy said. "It's never a dull moment."
An outgoing and positive person, Savoy said she savors the time spent at her job.
And that attitude rubs off on people, said Gwen Chapman, receptionist at the Mathews Government Complex.
"She's fantastic," Chapman said. "She's very compassionate. Her heart is really in it."

A store with a name like LOFT appears an appropriate symbol of Westgate Mall's enhanced appeal to upscale retailers. LOFT, part of the Ann Taylor family of stores, will open April 20 in space near Center Court at the mall.
The opening means Westgate snagged the attention of high-end merchandiser ANN, cracking a sort of retail glass ceiling, mall General Manager Brian Giffin said. So, similar tenant opportunities could come in the future.
LOFT offers "upper-moderate-priced casual apparel," according to Hoovers.com, a business information database.
LOFT plans an opening celebration April 21, complete with cupcakes from The Ruffled Cup and a drawing for a $250 gift certificate, according to the company. A tote with discount certificates from The Ruffled Cup and Little Brown House will be given to those who spend $75 or more.
Customers can enter April 20-22. The winner will be named April 23.
Khoury's House of Carpets will close out more than 110 years of family business by May's end.
"I just figured maybe it was time, since I'm the last of the whole family that's left," Sandra Blandford said.
Blandford sold the store building at 813 S.W. 10th Ave., but not the business. Though she's retiring, Blandford said, "I don't know if I can stand to not ever sell a rug again. Eventually, I may do special orders, consultation on rugs."
Khoury's traces its origins to Blandford's grandfather, Arthur Khoury Sr., a Lebanese immigrant who arrived in New York City in 1901 and, at the age of 16, began working for rug importers and dealers there. The senior Khoury followed an oil boom to Helena, Mont., where he set up his first store at age 21. He followed oil activity again to Amarillo in 1926, opening a store on South Polk Street.
The business later grew to include his sons Arthur Jr., John and Jim, said Blandford, the daughter of Arthur Khoury Jr. Blandford operated the business with her brother, Dick, until his death two years ago.
"There's a lot of history in rugs," Blandford said. It's amazing "how rugs are made ... the history of a rug, how long it takes to make a rug."
My sinuses and my gardener husband, Kevin, tell me it's spring. So does news of a new garden center.
West Texas Landscaping & Garden Center sprouted recently in a greenhouse facility at 1620 S. Washington St. that once housed Howard's Greenhouses.
Rob Malena has owned and operated West Texas Landscaping for 23 years, serving mainly new-home builders. With the garden center, he can offer the plants he grows to the public for wholesale prices, he said.
"We grow the majority of our stuff, so it's acclimated to our dry conditions," Malena said. "We don't run high humidity in our greenhouses, so that when (a plant) goes outdoors, into somebody's landscape, it isn't going to go into shock from being used to high humidity."
Garden center hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Meanwhile, Canyon's Edge Plants opens for the gardening season on Friday.
Owner Neal Hinders grows plants native to the Texas Panhandle, with an emphasis on varieties that don't take gobs of water to keep alive. Canyon's Edge will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through June 9. A plant list and directions can be found at canyonsedge plants.com and on Facebook.
Alfonzo Gomez laughed when I ventured that his family's dinners must be tasty. He didn't expect the question, but it seemed logical to me, since the family runs three Mexican food eateries and two taco trucks in Amarillo.
They all stem from Tortilleria Lupita, the business his mother and father, Maria and Anastacio Ortiz, operate at Southeast 10th Avenue and Vernon Street — a tortilla factory turned restaurant.
Gomez capitalized on the recipes four years ago with two taco trucks now in the charge of his sister, Julie Gomez, and brother, Victor Ortiz.
Alfonzo Gomez next put in Lupita's Express, with walk-up window ordering, at 2403 Hardin Drive, the curving street that connects Southwest 45th and Southwest 46th Avenues, east of Georgia Street.
"Two years later, everybody wants us to have a dine-in place," he said.
Alfonzo Gomez and his sister have now opened Lupita's Grill at 3221 S. Western St. "We're just trying to keep that taste going and keep in Amarillo the tradition of Lupita's," he said.
Ashton Hammer knew early on that photography would be his career.
"I was home-schooled, so I had a lot of time to spend with the camera," Hammer said. "I knew as soon as I got out of high school, photography was my dream and I was going to live it."
Hammer opened Ashton Hammer Photography on Saturday at 3101 Hobbs St., Suite 100. Hammer said he offers a wide range of styles, from landscape and commercial photography to portraits.

??!! Ghost Whisperer? WTF?!?
posted by August 7 at 9:18 AMon
Umm…Dear Science? Can you hear me? Hello? Well. I'm begging, you. Please (PLEASE!) explain to me in a rational and relatively coherent manner (that involves as little math as possible) exactly HOW THIS SCARY THING WORKS?
Really? HOW?
Honestly, Science. I need you. I don't get it, and I'm getting a little freaked out over here.

Since mankind first became fascinated by beautiful things, orchids have
exerted a potent allure for, unlike gemstones and precious metals where
scarcity is often a feature of their value, the 'Royal Family of Plants'
achieves a diversity of beauty, colour and form that has little to do with
rarity, but rather an expression of nature's genius to dazzle and enthral.
Indeed, far from being rare, there are more than 20,000 species of orchids
and the genus is one of the largest groups of flowering plants in the world.
Since the dawning of pre-history the subtly mesmerising living flora that
make up the orchid family have exerted a world-wide fascination. Like exotic
butterflies their beauty and mystery is fleeting yet, unlike lifeless jewels
and precious metals, the loveliness of orchids lives and evolves. Intense
international competition exists amongst breeders as they develop new
hybrids, resulting in stunning shapes, colours and blooms.

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Naugle was never good with numbers.
The Charge
Is it just me, or does the title of this movie sound like an Abbott and Costello routine?
Opening Statement
Interest was riding high for the Michael Bay produced I Am Number Four when the trailer hit back in early 2011. Starring one of the featured actors of the hit show Glee, a host of other hot up-and-coming talent and directed by hip director D.J Caruso; I Am Number Four seemed like a sure thing. And true to form, yet another mediocre, carbon copy teenage action movie made a bunch of money even though it featured dead weight characters and wholly unoriginal special effects work. For those who thrive on such nonsense, I Am Number Four is now on Blu-ray care of Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
Facts of the Case
John, AKA "Number Four" (Alex Pettyfer, Beastly), is an alien on the run. Not an illegal alien, mind you—we're talking E.T. Jor-El. Paul. Predator. Greedo. That kinda alien. Four is guarded by a protector named Henry (Timothy Olyphant, Live Free or Die Hard) and both are on the run from the vile Mogadorians, extra terrestrial rivals who have already almost completely wiped out John's race, leaving under ten of his people left. Each time one of the "Numbers" are killed, John's forehead scar seems to throb like a grizzly bear in heat. John tries to blend in at a local high school where he meets a cute shutterbug high school student, Sarah (Dianna Agron, Glee), who a must protect her from the dastardly Mogadorian Commander (Kevin Durand, Legion). Hunted by the gill faced and toothy Mogadorians, Number Four must figure out a way to stay alive or face extinction on planet Earth.
The Evidence
I Am Number Four is about generic as a bag of dime store flour, and only half as interesting. Movies like this seem to go out of their way to choose the blandest, least interesting actors casting agents can uncover. Case in point: Alex Pettyfer, a handsome, chiseled leading man who does nothing to distinguish himself from…well, any other handsome, chiseled actor toiling in Hollywood. Case in point number two: Dianna Agron, who would look great in a background shot on MTV's "Spring Break Special." These two actors waltz into the movie, recite their dialogue and then stand around while special effects workers diligently and tirelessly to create a story—ANY story—around them. Like a beautiful Faberge egg, the exterior of I Am Number Four is shiny and pretty while the inside hollow and without substance.
My biggest gripe with I Am Number Four is it isn't able to engage us on even the most fundamental levels of storytelling. The plot—aliens hunting other aliens on earth! Oh my!—has been done to death and in far better movies with far more interesting characters since about the dawn of celluloid. The clichés this movie revels in can be rattled off with great ease: the cute artistic girl with a camera; the hot guy with a secret; the Zabka-esque villain (look it up, it's a funny joke); ugly alien bounty hunters in long black trench coats; parents who are oblivious to everything their kids already know. Need I go on? It's as if screenwriters Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Marti Noxon (yes, it took three people to write this stinker) phoned in this screenplay during one long, tequila filled weekend in which the writing took place between hot tub jaunts and prime rib dinners.
Director D.J. Caruso lends about as deft a touch to this movie as the Incredible Hulk breaking wind during a monsoon. Everything is explained in excruciating detail, which is understandable since it felt as if I'd walked in on the fourth film in a movie series I'd never seen. Caruso's previous two films have been a mixed bag of the surprisingly good (Disturbia) and not so good (Eagle Eye). With I Am Number Four he fouls out on almost every level conceivable. That this movie was produced and shepherded by Michael Bay (whose Transformers look like Schindler's List by comparison) should come as no surprise—I Am Number Four is all substance over style, much like most of Bay's other (often better) efforts.
"Okay," you're thinking, "So the characters and plot bite. Well, how about the special effects?" Created by the usually innovative Industrial Light and Magic, the effects work here spans the gambit of passable (the main character's palms lighting up, cars flying through the air) to almost unbearable, as when a giant otherworld beastie and a basset hound (!) that turns into a slobbering reptile duke it out inside a local high school. There is nothing in this movie that is visually original or stimulating. I defer to the analogy of telephones and dialing in a performance—everything and everyone here feels just one lackadaisical phone call away from a paycheck.
My biggest questions is: what drew all these talented people to this material? The story is hardly original or worthwhile. I like to think that any story can be told with panache and verve with the right amount of effort and talent, but I Am Number Four certainly doesn't fit that bill. Teenagers as aliens only serves to create a place for weird romance and lots of battles with other qusai-human looking beings; think Twilight, only with less death and more space invaders. It's a big insult to realize that the filmmakers probably figured their audience would be young and disposable, so why put any effort into the movie's characters, story or mythos? Here's a note for those same filmmakers: when you do that, you get a movie like I Am Number Four. And considering how poorly this movie turned out, maybe you'll think twice if I Am Number Five ever comes to pass.
I Am Number Four is presented in 1.85:1 1080p hi-definition and looks very good. It appears as if all the effort was sucked from the story and finished film and set into this attractive, colorful picture. The detail present here is excellent, especially during daytime scenes. A lot of the film takes place in darkened corridors and evening settings (to save a bit on special effects, I'm sure) and often displays a great depth and texture found in the best Blu-ray transfers. Overall this is a great presentation for a very mediocre film.
The soundtrack is presented in a thrilling DTS-HD Master 5.1 audio mix that will blow your speakers away. Much like the video presentation, this sound mix is a great mix of explosions, Trevor Rabin's good but generic film score and crisp, clear dialogue. I don't have any complaints about either the video or audio presentations—the work put into this disc shows and should please fans of the film.
Fans get only a few extra features with this release of I Am Number Four, including around nineteen minutes of deleted scenes ("Extended Strangers in Paradise," "Sam's Mom," "Worth Mentioning," "Power Prank," "Trying to Connect" and "Extended Warsaw Basement"); a short featurette titled "Becoming Number Six" featuring Teresa Palmer; around three minutes of bloopers; trailers for the films Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, I Am Number Four and Real Steel and finally a digital copy and bonus DVD version of the film.
Closing Statement
I Am Number Four is like eating a plate of beets that have had all the color and taste extracted from them. After you're done, there's nothing left but the knowledge you just digested something, but couldn't care less what it was. The best news I have for you is that Touchstone's work on this disc is at least top notch.
The Verdict
I Am Number Four is an apt title, 'cause I can think of at least three
other movies I'd rather sit through.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give I Am Number Four (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Barbara, these are so rich and so yummy! Got to have a big glass of cold milk to go with them! My husband loves peanut butter cups! Thanks!
The perfect peanut butter cup! I simplified it a little and used chocolate "bark" candy coating instead of the choc chips, shortening and paraffin. I usually make peanut butter balls at Christmas time but decided to try the peanut butter cups instead - glad I did! Thank you for your recipe!
All I have to say is yummmmm. I have always wanted to make peanut butter cups and now I can. They are so easy!!! Thank you

You could get $16 at half time on Betfair.
Ignoring logic, I backed Greece just before this one kicked off. My gut has served me better than my brain so far in this tournament, so hopefully that'll continue here.

Well to qualify they basically have to beat Chile, give or take a few other permutations which can knock Spain out or put them through. So it's whatever you think the odds of that happening are really.

As we all know Business Portal is one of the great GP modules - it's great to demo, it's easy to sell the benefits to prospects and customers, and it's inexpensive! Also those of us who have played around with and delivered SRS reports know how these can deliver fantastic information in variety formats.
Well wouldn't it be good if we integrated the two so we can use show Business Portal and SRS reports in the same portal...funnily enough I have found a white paper descibing this:
Business Portal and Reporting Services
You can build really slick, cool demos using this in order to show the GP reporting capabilities to it's best ability and can begin to highlight the BI options available to your customers and prospects. Not only this but it can provide a great opportunity to increase the total value of your deals and increase your services revenue as you can build role specific portal views for your customers and verticals.

Mill Center will mean higher taxes
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2008 at 3:47 p.m.
To The Editor: You've got to love the Mill Center pipe dreamers' fundraising campaign slogan: "Build it and they will come."
Ooh. How original ...
Nevertheless, rather than dubbing their fantasy the "Mill Center for the Arts," they could name it the "Field of Pipe Dreamers."
Clearly these people haven't done their homework -- nor do any of them grasp a modicum of business sense. Case in point: If they were to stage a production -- in the arena of their dreams -- every night of the year and filled every seat, ticket sales would still not defray the costs of construction, maintenance, publicity, cost of acts, upkeep, etc.
But entitlements would take care of most of that, right? AKA increased taxes -- to finance a frivolous auditorium.
While they're at it, why not plan a huge commercial airport for Hendersonville? A coliseum-sized sports arena? Heck, why not a zoo?
It's due time the Mill Center pipe dreamers woke up and smoked something less than hallucinogenic.
If these folks keep smoking, Lord knows what else they'll dream up to embellish our wee mountain town, which has only so many tax dollars to sustain what we have.
Meanwhile, let's fix our schools and infrastructure. (Impact fees, anyone?)

A Boy's Own Story (Hardcover)
For more than two decades, Edmund White has been widely recognized as America's preeminent gay writer. "He has a novelist's eye for the telling detail or the remarkable phrase and, like Proust himself, concentrates upon the minutiae of the past so that it might live again," wrote The New York Times Book Review. "White possesses the rare combination of a po-etic sense of language and an ironic sense of humor," declared Newsweek. "[He] is unquestionably the foremost American gay novelist." Commemorating the twentieth anni-versary of A Boy's Own Story, this Modern Library edition presents White's autobiographical novel together with an Introduction by prizewinning novelist Allan Gurganus and a new Afterword by the author himself.
A Boy's Own Story, with equal parts stunning lyricism and unabashed humor, traces a nameless narrator's coming-of-age in the 1950s. Struggling with his homosexuality, the narrator seeks the consolations of a fantastic imagination and fills his head with romantic expectations ("I believed without a doubt in a better world, which was adulthood or New York or Paris or love.") His distant, divorced parents exacerbate his hunger for emotional connection, and he endures the unhelpful attentions of a priest and a psychoanalyst. In time, he recognizes the need to be loved by the men in his life and, in the surprising conclusion, escapes his childhood forever with one unforgettable act.
"With A Boy's Own Story, American literature is larger by one classic novel," wrote The Washington Post Book World. "No reader, straight or gay . . . can fail to experience shock after shock of recognition in these pages, and few, I would bet, will be able to withhold a one-to-one sympathy from the unnamed narrator, even when he is being, by the standards of only yesterday, 'shocking.'"

Praise For…
"The subject of this book might be that brief eloquence between the fantasies of a dream-bound child and his implementing those through charm, sexuality, his wits. . . . This work of principled sweep and great observational power also champions the centrality of Art as a governing quest. It offers this view with a faith that must recall Proust's life project, his attempt to hold all of time, its characters at synchronous ages, all its warring textures, in one head, one work." —from the Introduction by Allan Gurganus
