Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 87
Company: Dreamland USA
Cast: Jackie Moore, Rafe, Eric Masterson, Cindy Crawford, Talon (I), Angel Long, Trixie Kelly, Randy Spears, Kyle Stone (straight), Aurora Snow
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Young, attractive girls place emphasis on the natural aspects of their bodies. Push towards young and old couples.
A personal preference for natural, smallish tits is the ongoing theme. These desires are expressed by the males prior to plunging and during pre-sex interviews.
It takes about eight minutes for Rafe and Cindy Crawford to finally quit talking to the cameraman and get it on, and less time than that to pull off a quickie. This sets the pace for this couple; others like Eric Masterson and Aurora Snow extend their screen time a bit more. Nice long riding, Ms. Snow.
Randy Spears easily finds himself with his tongue up Angel Long's twat and his dick buried down her throat. Kyle Stone plants himself inside Jackie Moore, and Trixie Kelly gets to seduce her real-life boyfriend, Talon, in a romantic fireplace setting. They really get into one another and automatically segue from doggie to anal.

My first question, (but long time lurker on StackOverflow) so please don't be too scathing.
I am creating an Android App that has the capability of using a web service to update an SQLite database. Of course, this can only happen if the phone has internet connectivity. I understand how to navigate to the phone settings from the App, but I would like to know if the phone is now connected to the internet upon the user returning to the App.
I have considered using the onStart() and onResume() methods, but is there any way to determine where the user 'came from'. A good example would be the Google Maps/Navigation App. If the user is in Google Maps and presses the Navigation icon, it opens the Navigation App/activity and if GPS is not on, a dialog box shows asking the user if he or she wants to be taken to the GPS settings. They can choose OK, turn on GPS and press the back button to return to the Navigation App. If GPS is now on, they can proceed, otherwise the App shows the dialog box again.
This is good, except the user is allowed to continue, in my case, if there is no internet connectivity. But if there is initially no connectivity, and the user goes away and turns it on, and comes back, then I want to call the method to call the service.
I only want the internet check to happen on opening the App, and upon returning from the phone settings. If I use the onStart() method, the check will happen every time the user opens the activity.
So my question is, how do I check that there is internet connectivity only in the onCreate() method AND when the user returns from the phone settings?
Thanks in advance.

I'm attempting to add support for the US Dept. of Defense's "Common Access Card" to Thunderbird using the PKCS #11 provider called CACKey (v. 0.6.5). This is on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid).
I built the provider and added it to Firefox (v. 13.0) with absolutely no trouble. It works great.
However, when I try to add the module to Thunderbird (v. 13.0) using essentially the same steps, it fails with a message, "Unable to add module". No further details are provided.
I then tried creating a brand new Thunderbird profile, in case there was something in my old settings that was causing a problem. This didn't make a difference, though.
What might cause this problem?
Are there additional logging options for Thunderbird that might give more useful information about what is happening?

Patriots' Belichick Named NFL Coach of the Year Again
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was selected as the National Football League's coach of the year for a third time, a day after the team's quarterback Tom Brady was voted the best offensive player.
Belichick, 58, coached the Patriots to a league-best 14-2 regular-season record before his team lost 28-21 to the New York Jets in the playoffs. He received 30 of the 50 votes cast by media members to beat Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris, who had
11.5 votes. Balloting was compiled by the Associated Press.
"It's an honor to receive this award on behalf of our performance in the regular season," Belichick said last night during a televised interview. "Unfortunately, we couldn't carry it over to the postseason."
The Patriots have won three Super Bowls -- after the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons -- since Belichick was hired on Jan. 27,
2000. The team also has claimed four conference and eight division titles, and recorded 14 playoff victories since his arrival.
Belichick also won the award following the 2003 and 2007 seasons, leaving him one shy of the record held by Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula.
Belichick is the only coach to have won at least 14 regular-season games in four NFL seasons, passing San Francisco's George Seifert, who had three.
The Patriots finished first in the league in scoring in the past season, with 518 points. The team also set NFL records for the fewest turnovers in a 16-game season with 10; seven straight games without a turnover, and seven straight games of 30 points and no turnovers.
The Patriots also tied an NFL record with eight straight games of 30 points or more, and another for fewest interceptions in a season with five.
The voting only covers the regular season. The Patriots lost to the Cleveland Browns and the Jets, whose coach Rex Ryan failed to get any votes.
Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley received 4.5 votes, while Atlanta Falcons' Mike Smith, Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Eagles, Lovie Smith of the Chicago Bears and Steve Spagnuolo of the St. Louis Rams each got one.

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Joe Simon Week: part four! If you thought yesterday's was weird, then prepare yourself. Today's feature is the strangest political fiction of all time– and one of the greatest comic runs to come out of the 70's.
74. Prez
This comic was too awesome to live. Written and created by Joe Simon and drawn by Jerry Grandenetti, it lasted twice as long as Brother Power– a whopping four issues.
"This is the story of the most powerful man on Earth. He is not a superhero, but a teenager who becomes President of the United States. It is not a true story. Not yet, but someday it may happen. And the history books of the future may read like this story of– Prez!" So sayeth page two. Man, I wish our history books read like Prez. I might have an interest in history if that were so.
Prez is the story of Prez Rickard, a young man named so because his mom really wanted him to be president one day. Their town of Steadfast has a problem with the clocks– none of them are on time and there's a constant chiming throughout the place– so Prez decides to do something about it. He fixes them all by hand, drawing the attention of Boss Smiley, bizarre, tyrannical mayor of the polluted Central City, where the fascist police beat the crap out of the hippie youth. Also, he reads Batgirl:
A walking, corrupt emoticon, Boss Smiley decides to use a new amendment letting anyone eighteen or over to run for Congress to put his own man in the Senate. They take off to Pollution Cove to brainstorm for ideas, and come up with the perfect candidate: Prez Rickard.
Unfortunately, Prez's idealism proves too much for Boss Smiley. The young man teams up with a Native American kid named Eagle Free to expose Smiley as corrupt. Then he becomes elected president, and the rest is history. Eagle Free becomes FBI director and Prez's mom becomes vice-president.
Future issues dealt with the ridiculous Chessking and the Russian Queen who get into a live game of human chess that's filled with sabotage and madcappery; Gregor Washingston, the deranged descendant of George Washington, and his maniacal counterfeit cavalry who dress like Revolutionary War soldiers and try to kill our hero; and, of course, a legless vampire. Because you gotta have legless vampires. On wheels, no less.
Prez was cancelled after #4, but the unpublished #5 appeared in Cancelled Comics Cavalcade #2:
Prez also guest-starred in the final issue of the 70's Supergirl solo series, but that was it until Neil Gaiman resurrected him in the pages of Sandman #54 (drawn by Mike Allred– man, Gaiman and Allred love Simon characters). There was also a Vertigo Visions special about Prez by Ed Brubaker and Eric Shanower. With that creative team, you'd expect it to be great, but I don't think it was very good. Maybe you'd disagree.
Prez, however, remains a fantastic concept that definitely deserves a comeback in our crazy political times. C'mon, it's the story of an idealist teen president of the USA– it's rife with story potential, even if one doesn't delve into the weird and the ridiculous like the Simon version did in a spectacular fashion. If one did, it could run for years and years without missing a beat. I'd much rather see a new attempt at a Prez series than yet another Batman mini.
I know who I'd throw money at to write the new adventures of Prez: Garry Trudeau. Oh yeah. What do you think, dear readers?
Prez: The comic so frighteningly brilliant, it had to be killed. That won't stop me from shouting from the rooftops about how great it was, though. Prez was as offbeat as comics come, but with a sharp and zany script from Simon and gorgeous, expressive art by Jerry Grandenetti, it was a damn fine comic book that came out in a decade filled with brilliant-but-cancelled comics.
You can also read about Prez at Don Markstein's Toonopedia site.
Totally in agreement. Prez was gonzo fun.
The guest shot in Supergirl, by the way, is bizarre. I don't think it was ever referenced again because they would have to admit that in the DC universe the Executive Branch was run by an 18 year-old.
They held onto that 5th issue of Prez for a long time– Cancelled Comics Cavalcade came out four years or so after that issue should have been published. But then another comic in that CCC was an issue of Kamandi…that would have reprinted (with a framing sequence) an issue of Kirby's Sandman from about the same vintage as Prez.
Joe Simon was and is a great and very fun creative force in the and definitely deserves the props. You fellas should give him a holler at his website
He may not know how awesome a lot of people think his creations are … and at 93 y'all might not have much longer to tell him.
And about Prez? 100% agreement on all points. I'd buy this over 'Trials of Shazam' anyday.
Were *any* of the Vertigo Visions any good? The idea of Vertiginous reimaginings of DC characters was a good one, but "hey, let's reimagine," without a story idea, doesn't seem to be enough.
I was at a house party once, and one of the guys there had only read one comic, and that was the Sandman issue with Prez in it. The whole night, and I mean, from 9PM until 7AM, he would periodically come up to me and say, "You know what's fucked up?"
"Prez Rickard, man."
"Fucking Boss Smiley, man."
"You don't know, man."
"Don't know about what?"
"Prez Rickard, man."
"Fucked up."
"Fucked up."
All night.
Sounds pretty screwy. I like screwy.
Did it ever deal with the fact that the Constitution prohibits anyone under the age of 35 (I think) from becoming President?
Well, the book came out around '73/'74, and the "18 year olds can vote" amendment had just hit in '71, so Prez seemed to take place in a world where the younger guys voted younger people into Congress, who changed the Contitution to let 18 year olds run for president. Because obviously, young people care about voting.
an 18 year old becoming president isn't the worst law broken here…it's that his VP is his Mom! The President and Vice President must be from different states!
I've seen a lot of worlds and I've fixed a lot of worlds. This one may seem like it has its share of problems but it's nothing that can't be solved by good people just doing the right thing. Mr. Simon and I have to be off now but we'll be keeping you in our dreams.
Were *any* of the Vertigo Visions any good? The idea of Vertiginous reimaginings of DC characters was a good one, but "hey, let's reimagine,†without a story idea, doesn't seem to be enough.
The problem with early Vertigo was that they jumped on practically everyone who'd ever appeared in a 'mature readers' comic, so Prez, Brother Power, Black Orchid, Kid Eternity, Phantom Stranger etc all suddenly got given series's or one-shots regardless of whether there were any good pitches around. Vertigo has grown up a lot into its own niche since then
that Sandman Prez issue isone of m favourite stories from that title.
I thought the Vertigo Prez one-shot was a nice little comic. It was a tale of really messed-up generation X-ers trying to sort out their s%$£. Its probably the most dated comic of its era as the ghost of poor old Kurt Cobain hangs over the proceedings but its heart was definitely in the right place.
Our teens sure had come a long way since the early seventies.
But hey! I think having a new teenage Prez as the president in the DCU would be a great development. I thought that having Lex Luthor in 1600 was a masterstroke insofar as DC could show the president of the US being a devious self-serving villain and not have to worry about being arrested by Homeland Security goons! Meanwhile over in 616, poor old Captain America had to salute and fawn as if old draft-dodging W was in any way deserving of a WWII veteran's respect.
So Prez for President in the DCU! People need some ray of optimism these days. Even if the world we live in is waaaay messed up, at least in Superman's world those in charge of the US would be at least trying to do the right thing. There'd still be plenty of shadowy extra-government spooks and self-serving vested interests for both Superman and Prez to deal with.
"The President and Vice President must be from different states!"
Not quite. Electors cannot vote for both a president and a vice-president from their own state. So Hillary Clinton could pick Elliot Spitzer as her running mate, for instance, but New York's electors could not vote for Clinton AND Spitzer; they'd have to vote for someone else for one of the jobs. Same thing with the electors from Prez and his mom's home state. It's a hurdle to getting a president and VP from the same state, but a very large one rather than an insurmountable one (especially if Prez was from a small state).
Actually I thought Brubaker's Prez one-shot was decent – a lot better than a lot of that early Vertigo stuff
I found a copy of Prez #1 a couple years ago and it's one of the greatest things I've ever bought. I wish I could find the other issues.
I'm a big fan of DC's Bronze Age.
It was a very creative era for DC.
They tried almost everything.
Once or twice.
Most new things didn't last long.
Even some of their best stuff didn't last very long.
I'm sorry to say this for Simon's fans, but the worst ideas from that era were Joe Simon's stuff.
He had been disconnected from the comic book media for too long, and was certainly not connected to that generation of young reader. His ideas of what was hip were caricatures of the hippy mouvement and ideals.
The only Kirby stuff I don't like from the DC Bronze Age was his single collaboration with Joe Simon on Sandman.
Kirby and Simon were the best of the 40's. I love Simon inks on the Kirby art of that period. But when Mainline failed and they parted, Simon lost his magic touch… Just as Stan Lee lost his when Kirby left Marvel… Strange coincidences…? I think not.
The only Prez I've read was the Sandman story, which I thought was one of the best issues of the entire series.
I saw the Vertigo one-shot in a back-issue bin once, but I didn't pick it up, because I refuse to buy anything called "Smells Like Teen President".
Just, as a general rule.
Gaiman took a silly 70's idea and turned it into a brilliant Jesus allegory!
As for how he got elected, 18 year olds got the vote, they got a law passed that let 18 year olders be in Congress, which then passed the amendment letting the president being 18. Or something like that….been many many years since I read all that.

Capital market integration and optimal employment protection policies
This study analyzes the effect of capital markets integration on labor market policies. To that end, it incorporates imperfect labor markets into a tax competition model. There exist two types of households, types 1 and 2, that are risk-averse. Each type of household is endowed with one unit of a worker. Addi- tionally, households are endowed with capital. Type 2 households own lager amounts of capital than type 1 households. The government can choose the following policies: unemployment benefits and layoff, payroll, and capital subsidies or taxes. When capital markets are integrated, households can invest their capital in foreign capital markets. This study shows that the integration of capital markets leads to inefficient policies under which labor productivity is high, but income inequality within a country and the risk of job loss are also high. As a result, the social welfare of each country in integrated capital markets is lower than in non-integrated capital markets.

After suggesting he would support it, Cao votes against Obama budget.
Earlier this week, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) suggested to The Hill that he might "buck his party" and vote in favor of President Obama's budget. The suggestion appeared eerily similar to his earlier suggestion that he might break with his party and support Obama's economic recovery package. But then — as now — Cao couldn't find the political courage to follow through when it came time to vote. Last night, along with the rest of the House Republican Conference and a handful of "moderate" Democratic members, Cao voted no on Obama's budget. When he was first elected, Cao claimed he would be an independent voice on Capitol Hill. Now we know better.

OMFG. That video is so insanely low budget and twee. Looks like the singer borrowed a camcorder, set up a white sheet against a wall in his basement, pushed "record", and took the tape to some cheap video effects studio for the snappy side graphics and the ultra cool dual imaging.
And some guys really should not wear makeup.
No, this is insanely low-budget and twee.
but all the same, ow. thanks, hump.
seiche, I'd say they're about the same. At least the Average Homeboy can some different camera angles. Plus, his rap was BLAZIN'! hahahaha

FERDINAND—Ivan Bland won both hurdles races to lead Perry Central to third place in Forest Park's eight-team freshman-sophomore boys track invitational Saturday.
Perry Central finished sixth in the girls meet, though Cathryn Peter won two distance races and Ashley Graves won the discus.
Boys team scores: Jasper 134.5, Heritage Hills 102.5, Forest Park 99.5, Northeast Dubois 80.5, Mount Vernon 75.5, Perry Central 74, Boonville 42, South Spencer 2
Perry Central's scoring:
HUNTINGBURG—Southridge used three big innings to beat Perry Central 11-3 in girls softball Thursday.
Perry Central trailed only 3-2 after scoring two runs in the fourth inning. But Southridge came back with four in the fifth on three singles and two walks.
Perry Central pitchers Kristi Brumfield and Tara Claise combined to give up nine hits and four walks.
Brumfield struck out three and walked two in four innings. Claise walked two and struck out none in two innings.
Brumfield went 2 for 3 at the plate, including an RBI double in the sixth inning.
Usually in varsity/JV baseball and softball dates, the varsity game is played first.
But the JV contest was played first in Tell City's home baseball games with Breckinridge County (apparently at Breckinridge County's request) and Perry Central's girls softball games at Southridge Thursday, despite the fact that the weather forecast was calling for rain later in the afternoon.
At both sites they were lucky enough to get the varsity games in before it rained.
ORLEANS—Jarrett Jones hit a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift Orleans past Perry Central 7-6 in PLAC baseball Wednesday.
Perry Central increased its lead to 6-3 with a run in the top of the seventh and outhit the Bulldogs 13-7 overall.
But Orleans put its hits together better, especially in the seventh inning.
And while Perry Central pitchers walked only three, Jones did not walk any as he pitched a complete game. He struck out three.
CANNELTON—Whitesville Trinity scored six runs in the top of the eighth inning to beat Cannelton 14-8 in the second game of a baseball doubleheader Friday.
Cannelton tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Cody Lawalin singled home the tying run. Coach Mike Garrett sent another runner home on the play to try to win the game, but he was thrown out at the plate.
The Raiders replied with their biggest inning of the game in the top of the eighth.
Three walks and a hit batsman started that rally, and a home run followed.
FERDINAND—Jessica Huber won both hurdles races to lead Perry Central to second place in a girls triangular track meet Thursday.
Forest Park won with 67 points. Perry Central scored 52 and Tell City 48.
Huber won the 100-meter intermediate hurdles in 16.47 seconds and the 300 low hurdles in 52.55.
Cathryn Peter ran the 3200 in 12:32 and Katie Schwartz threw the shot 33 feet for the Commodores' other blue ribbons.
Elizabeth Kohnert won three field events for Tell City.
TELL CITY—Heritage Hills freshman Cadie DellaMorta shut out Tell City for five innings as the Patriots won 7-1 in PAC girls softball Wednesday.
The Marksmen had only four hits for the game and did not have two in any inning until the sixth, when they scored their run against reliever Danielle Hoppenjans.
A walk to Kyli Smithson and singles by Josalyn Ress and Jamie Brinksneader produced that run.
The Marksmen's best other scoring opportunity came in the first inning.
TELL CITY—With improved pitching and continued strong hitting, Tell City won three baseball games Wednesday through Friday.
The Marksmen scored six runs in the third inning and five in the sixth Wednesday as they came from behind twice to beat South Spencer 13-9 in a road game.
These two teams have combined for 54 runs as they split two games.
Tell City outhit the Rebels 18-13 Wednesday as Dayne Seibert went 4 for 5.
Trent Gunn added a triple, double and single and drove in four runs.
TELL CITY—Michael Ernst won the 400-meter dash and 3200 relay to help Perry Central win the Tell City invitational boys track meet Saturday.
Tyler Dauby and David McDaniel won the hurdles races to lead Tell City to third place in the 10-team meet.
Cannelton, on the strength of T.J. James' fifth-place discus throw, finished ninth.
Ernst set a meet record as he won the 400 in 51.24 seconds, four-hundredths of a second ahead of Tell City's Ryan Henrickson.
CANNELTON—Stephen Hayes drove in 10 runs as Perry Central swept Cannelton 16-4 and 17-3 in a baseball doubleheader Monday.
Continuing a power show that he started Saturday, Hayes drove in four runs in three plate appearances in the first game.
He hit an RBI double to deep center field and a sacrifice fly to center in an eight-run Perry Central second inning.
He lined a two-run homer over the left-center-field fence in the fourth.
He went 3 for 5 in the second game with a grand slam and two RBI singles.

All of the fires were extensive... and the volume of smoke from each was immense. Three of these fires had been burning from the 18th with varied intensity. In 1911...an apparent dry microburst produced sustained winds to 45 mph. In 1960...a strong gust of wind blew a small foreign sedan off the highway near Brighton...injuring the driver. East winds gusted to 40 mph at Stapleton Airport. In 1961...thunderstorm winds estimated as high as 40 to 50 mph occurred over southeast Denver. No significant damage was reported. In 1962...heavy rain and small hail caused some flooding in southwest Denver. In 1995...upslope cloudiness with rain and fog cooled temperatures to record levels. Low temperature of 47 degrees equaled the record for the date. High temperature of only 54 degrees set a new record low maximum for the date. Rainfall totaled 0.90 inch at Denver International Airport and 0.41 inch at the site of the former Stapleton International Airport. In 2003...a severe thunderstorm in Parker produced hail to 1 inch in diameter. In 2011...two airmen from the Colorado National Guard suffered minor injuries when they were struck by lightning. They were hit while on duty at a flight line at Buckley Air Force Base. At Denver International Airport...a microburst produced a peak wind gust to 72 mph. 29-2 In 1990...almost a year to date after the record breaking heat in early July 1989...the third longest heat wave in Denver history started. From June 29th through July 2nd the temperature reached 100 degrees or more on four consecutive days. The highest reading of 102 degrees occurred on the 29th...30th...and 1st. Combined with the 102 degree reading on June 27th this would have been the longest heat wave on record...but the temperature climbed to only 98 degrees on June 28th. 29-15 In 2000...the 29th marked the beginning of a near record hot streak for metro Denver. The high temperatures...as recorded at Denver International Airport...exceeded the 90 degree mark for 17 consecutive days from June 29th through July 15th. The record of 24 consecutive 90 degree or above days was set from July 13th through August 5th...2008. $$

ANAHEIM -- I had a long chat with Rafael Furcal before the game on Sunday night, in a hallway leading to the visiting clubhouse at Angel Stadium. Not an interview, just a chat, the kind of conversation reporters and athletes have almost every day in which the notebook is closed, and there is a general understanding that what's said is seldom subject to being written or reported.
However, after watching Furcal's mostly triumphant return from the disabled list -- it wasn't really triumphant for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost to the Los Angeles Angels as usual, 3-1 before 42,536 at Angel Stadium -- I feel compelled to share one snippet from that conversation. It illustrates exactly who this player is, and why I have gotten so much enjoyment out of watching him almost every day for the past six seasons, as well as why I will miss watching him play if impending free agency takes him elsewhere next winter.
"I only know one way to play this game," he said. "I can't go out there and hold back. It's no fun to play baseball that way."
It was a little bit of a cringe-worthy statement, given Furcal's current state. He is 33, but apparently an old 33. The body is becoming increasingly unforgiving to, and uncooperative toward, the man living inside it. He was coming off his second DL stint this year and his fourth in the past two seasons, and to be brutally honest, there isn't a whole lot of reason to think there won't be a fifth at some point.
That is where Furcal's unyielding approach to the game comes in. If you talk to team officials, both medical and otherwise, they will privately admit that the way Furcal plays is the reason he is always hurt. But the way he plays is also what makes him so valuable when he is in the lineup, and the Dodgers aren't very good without him.
That isn't to suggest, of course, that they are all that good with him. He went 1-for-4 in his return, and the Dodgers still scored only one run and still went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position. Chad Billingsley had so little margin for error that one bad pitch was enough to wreck a complete-game, three-hit performance that will go down as one of his best of the season.
What Furcal does offer the Dodgers is hope. When it's almost the All-Star break, you are in last place and you are 11 games below .500 and you have to muster the energy, both mental and physical, to drag yourself to the ballpark to deal with the daunting task of facing major league pitching every day, hope alone is worth something.
Still, it's a lot to put on one guy, especially a guy whose best days would seem to be behind him, to expect him to be the miracle cure to an offense that has been sick pretty much all season, both with and without Furcal.
"For me, I love it when the fans say that," Furcal said after the game, when the notebooks were out. "They missed me, and I missed the game too. I love to play baseball. They're not trying to put any pressure on anybody. All I have to do is keep going and try to stay healthy the rest of the year."
Furcal's first game back offered all the tests to show that, for the moment, he can hold up to the rigors of big league ball. He had seven assists, a staggering number even for a shortstop, and he handled all of them flawlessly -- including, and most importantly, a grounder in the hole by the speedy Peter Bourjos that Furcal had to backhand, plant and throw across his body. He had no reaction from the left oblique muscle that had kept him sidelined for the previous month.
He reached base once, pulling a single through the right side. Then, passing another test, he stole second and slid in headfirst, again with no discomfort. Fittingly, he then scored the Dodgers' only run of the game, on a two-out double by James Loney.
Furcal batted second, behind Tony Gwynn Jr., instead of his usual leadoff spot, manager Don Mattingly's rationale being that Gwynn has been hot lately and the switch-hitting Furcal separates the lefty-hitting Gwynn and Andre Ethier in the order so an opposing manager can't bring in a left-handed reliever to face both of them.
After the game, by which time Gwynn suddenly was hitless in his past eight at-bats with four strikeouts, Mattingly said he probably will leave it that way for now.
But this latest loss, after which the Dodgers (37-48) remained 11 games behind the division-leading San Francisco Giants in the National League West, left a couple of key questions still unanswered. First, how long can Furcal, who in his own words can't play any other way except all-out all the time, stay in the lineup? And second, is this dud-ridden lineup really any better with him in it anyway?
This much can't be disputed: Furcal, whose main job even in the two-hole is to get on base as often as he can, is hitting .214 for the season, with a .247 on-base percentage.
"Sometimes, I think I try to do too much," Furcal said after the game. "Like the last time I came back, I really tried to do too much. This time, I feel much more relaxed. I just want to see more pitches and try to get on base. I feel much better this time."
If he can continue to feel that way, maybe the rest of the Dodgers lineup can start feeling pretty good too. But if the Dodgers are expecting Furcal to be the difference maker, well, that is a lot to ask of a guy who makes you hold your breath every time he lunges for a ball, makes a headfirst slide or chases a pop fly into foul territory.

Hey there,
I'm using the latest version of WordPress and the latest version of NextGen-Gallery. I have several galleries to which I add pictures regularly. All galleries and pictures are displayed properly.
I also link the images in my posts using the singlepic feature. It always worked well. In the latest post, I have a weird problem, though. All singlepics show up but two. I have deleted the images already and re-uploaded them so that they have a different id. I changed the size, well I tried basically everything. They appear in the gallery on the photo page but not in the posting via the singlepic-id. Any help? :P
Have a look here:
I'm desperate!

NOAA: Just To Be Clear, Mermaids Do Not Exist
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has announced that there is no evidence that mermaids are real, after receiving several queries following the broadcast of an Animal Planet program called, Mermaids: The Body Found. Host Scott Simon explains.
If the blobfish rarely moves, who does it encounter to spell its loneliness in the briny deep? The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency would urge the blobfish not to hold out for the chance to meet the mermaid of its dreams. NOAA issued a statement this week after receiving several queries following the broadcast of an Animal Planet program called "Mermaids: The Body Found."
The show featured several people searching for what they believed were mermaids, although the program left a strong suggestion they were actually fish, shadows and coral, not mermaids. But NOAA still felt that the organization had to issue a statement saying, quote, "No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found." Humanoid - what a thing to call a mermaid.
So, here's hoping the Department of Health and Human Services can eventually find the tooth fairy. This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.

Anomie, a societal and anomia an individual characteristic is employed to understand the behaviour of people and more recently it has been used to explore and understand the moral behaviour of people at work. This article reports on research undertaken to explore the relationship between organisational interest, ethical ideologies, employment, religion and ethnic origin on work and nonwork anomia. An objective of this research was to ascertain whether participants that were not employed had lower levels of work-related anomia than those that were employed. The sample consisted of students (N = 209) enroled in management degrees in a UK university. Results indicate that overall work anomia was statistically significant higher than nonwork anomia. Employment status had a significant effect on levels of nonwork anomia. Religion and ethnic origin were also found to have a significant effect on anomia levels. The findings indicate that the work context may be perceived as inherently anomic and this perception is then adjusted according to the actual experience at work. This may influence ethical behaviour and explain the ethical regression that is identified in the work context.

PELL CITY, Ala. (AP) - Officials say a man who was out on bond for shooting his estranged wife in March has killed her and himself in a murder-suicide in Pell City.
Police Chief Greg Turley said it appears 46-year-old Randall McCoy shot 37-year-old Conswella McCoy twice in the body and once in the head with a .32 caliber revolver outside her apartment complex around 5:30 p.m. Monday.
Turley said McCoy apparently shot himself in the head after killing his wife.
McCoy drove to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Jail in March and told authorities he had shot his wife and wanted to turn himself in.
Conswella McCoy was hospitalized but recovered from gunshot wounds to her head and chest.
Randall McCoy was charged with first-degree assault and released on a $75,000 bond.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbs (0.08 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Now do not ask me how I know it works but it is a good companion to my other medicines....ALTACE, VYTORIN, TOPROL, PAVLIX. NIASPAN. My blood tests prove that I am doing remarkably well....LDL is down to 20, blood pressure is 110-60. So after three heart attacks and one stroke in the last five years I am told by my Physician I am in excellent health. CoQ10 is a gift to my good health.
This is not a reflection of the product, I just want to give people a heads up on the potential side effects. I've been taking 100 mg CoQ10 for yrs with no problem. I decided to try increasing the dose to see if I could eliminate my cardiac arrythmias. It was very effective for that! However, I began experiencing very uncomfortable gastrointestinal side effects, as others have reported. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, zero appetite. I also started experiencing increasing muscle tension and pain and headaches both of which became extreme after about a week, and worsening insomnia. I finally figured out what has been causing all these problems and stopped the CoQ10. I'll stay off it for a while then go back to a lower dose. Bummer! Wish I weren't so sensitive to the side effects. It was nice to get rid of my arrythmias.
Ok product

I'm sure these work wonderfully well (too soon to tell yet), but petite women like myself should be warned - these are ENORMOUS and more suited to a horse's gullet than a woman's. In fact, the only way I can get these down is via a health-defeating fizzy drink (like Coke) - the bubbles create enough oral confusion and distract my sensitive throat enough that I'm eventually - after several attempts - able to get one down without it sticking to the sides, turning sideways and getting stuck and making me gag horribly. As such, this is the only reason I'm giving Doctor's Best High Absorption CoQ10 with BioPerine a 4 star rating - oversized and powdery dry capsules are not a petite woman's favourite thing.
Posted by 4919173265262214423 on May 31, 2015
I take a statin which causes leg pain. My doctor suggested I take CoQ10 every day. I find these most pure. My doctor suggested iHerb as he uses them.

MOSCOW (May 14, 2013)—A Russian Soyuz space capsule carrying a three-man international crew landed safely Tuesday on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency, Tom Marshburn of NASA and Roman Romanenko of the Russian space agency landed as planned southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan at 8:31 a.m. local time Tuesday, after a-146 day mission to the International Space Station.
Live footage on NASA TV showed the Soyuz TMA-07M capsule slowly descending by parachute on the sun-drenched steppes under clear skies.
Russian search and rescue helicopters were hovering around the landing site for a quick recovery effort.
A three-man U.S.-Russian crew remains on the space station and will be joined in two weeks by the next trio of astronauts.

Fashion statements are red this month — and today's Valentine's Day mantra might be "buy something red." Take a look at the red dresses rocking the runway during The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Fashion Show 2013 right here. The New York Daily News covers it in style with 27 fabulous fashion ideas modeled by everyone…
I clearly missed this rock-star style trend on Fashion Friday. It is too good to pass up today, though. Ryan Lochte has an Olympic gold medal for swimming and a grill to match. Well, the grill sports diamonds rather than gold, and it is kind of American flag inspired. But it caused quite a stir….

Kjell Bjorgen
Kjell Bjorgen is back. The local funnyman, one of the most respected comics in the Twin Cities' rich scene, took a multi-year sabbatical from performing during what would be for most comedians the height of their career. He had been featured on Comedy Central and was touring the country as Louis Black's regular opener when he simply burned out. "It didn't matter who the audience was, it was an organically angry rant," explains Bjorgen, who says he started to lose the ire that drove him onto the stage. After some time away from the mic, he was compelled to come back, and the result is a mellower, merrier Bjorgen who still retains his signature edge and quick wit. The same night he spoke with City Pages he did a devastating set in a contest at Rick Bronson's House of Comedy, a kind of nudge-and-wink parody of a comic coming unhinged that saw him attacking the judges, toying with the crowd, and even swiping and chugging a beer off a table up front—all delivered with a sly grin that belied an unmistakable sense of joy. The audience was enraptured; you will be too. 18+.
