Albany -- The Albany Civic Center announces a medley of upcoming concerts. The venue is bringing in Oscar winning rappers, 80's funk favorites and even a former American Idol contestant. The Albany Civic Center is pulling out all the stops and fees to get events into the venue.
"We're offering the building as part of an incentive to get people in. As promoters are successful, we're hoping they will come back," said Tony Ford of the Albany Civic Center.
And negotiating better deals with promoters is working. Tuesday morning, Programming Director Tony Ford announced a list of upcoming events including a concert by 1980's funk favorites "Midnight Star."
"They have several number one songs, that made it all the way to the charts. They're known nationally and internationally. There are one of the groups that people love to see and love to hear in night clubs," said Promoter Ben Jordan.
Promoter Ben Jordan says the April 21st concert will also feature Devin Johnson, a former American Idol finalist, as well as performers Secret Dimension and Calvin Payne.
Jordan says if there's a good crowd, he'll bring more of his acts here. "We're already planning for a second group already, another performance in June or maybe July."
"Midnight Star" is the latest in a string of performers coming to the once under-utilized civic center. Country music legend George Jones is performing March 30th.
And Hip Hop performers, "Juvenile", Oscar award winning "Three 6 Mafia", along with a line-up of other rappers, are putting on a concert March 31st.
On Memorial Day weekend, Clarence Carter will join a team of performers for Grown Folks Night Out.
The promoters, too, are offering deals to lure customers, like this one for George Jones. "He is prepared for two days only, this Friday and Saturday, to give a two for one deal. I didn't say free, I said a two for one ticket sale," said Ford.
Ford says the City is giving promoters good deals and big price cuts to bring in entertainers. He hopes they'll be happy with new management and new attitudes at the venue and bring more business this way.
"When they come back, that gives us an opportunity to make some money off of more than just popcorn and sodas. We'll get something off of the gate receipts," said Ford.
That will hopefully mean money flowing into the Civic Center from somewhere other than the city coffers.
An outdoor carnival and a comedy act are also coming this summer. For families, Disney on Ice "Princess Classics" is coming April 18th and 19th.

Candidate for Garden Grove City Council, Paul Marsden: Kudos to the Orange County Register for reporting on the inevitable by-product of nepotism in Garden Grove ["Son of mayor called 'unsafe' as firefighter," Front page, Aug. 23].
Unfortunately, the article quoted a member of the council, Dina Nguyen, without mentioning that the member's spouse was appointed to a city commission ahead of other qualified candidates, according to news reports.

Review: Parental Guidance (U)
3:00pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in Reviews
Grandmother knows best in Parental Guidance, an intergenerational comedy of bad manners and frayed tempers, which welcomes Bette Midler back to the big screen after a four-year hiatus.
The Oscar-nominated actress and singer is the jewel in the tarnished crown of Andy Fickman's film, armed to her polished teeth with many of the script's best lines.
She looks resplendent in soft lighting, bridging most of the 19-year age gap to on-screen daughter Marisa Tomei, and also belts out an impromptu rendition of The Book Of Love by The Monotones with co-star Billy Crystal.
The central clash between old-fashioned ideals and 21st century desires has been portrayed in countless other comedies, and more deftly than scriptwriters Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse manage here.
They are suckers for mawkish sentimentality and foolishly burden each of the protagonists with an insecurity or quirk that needs to be salved by the credits.

Just reproducing the press release the GBO sent me, since it says everything that needs to be said in the best way possible:
The German Book Office is excited to announce that Kurt Beals has won its first ever translation competition.
Beals, a PhD Candidate in German Literature and Culture at the University of California, Berkeley, will receive a $600 commission to translate the first fifteen pages of Nora Bossong's novel Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung into English. Translator Elizabeth Janik, meanwhile, has been named runner-up, and both translators will be added to the Goethe-Institut & German Book Office translator database.
"As a reader and a student of German literature, every so often I come across a work that's brilliant, unexpected, and untranslated," said Beals. "And as a translator, that's the kind of problem that I like to solve. But I think that the more fundamental reason to translate, for me, is that there's no better way to engage thoroughly with a work of literature, to think about each word, why it's there and how it fits into the work as a whole."
The competition, which aimed to bring aspiring German language translators into contact with US editors, asked contestants to translate a seven-hundred word excerpt from Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung. Submissions were limited to translators who had no more than one translated book published in English and are US based.
The first round of judging featured a panel of American editors – comprised of Jenna Johnson from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, John Siciliano from Penguin, and Random House's Lexy Bloom – who narrowed down the nearly sixty submissions to a shortlist of nine.
A panel of three accomplished translators – Susan Bernofsky, Burton Pike and Ross Benjamin – then chose from that shortlist the winner and runner up.
The announcement was made last night at a reception and awards ceremony at the Goethe-Institut New York.
"I'm pleased that the German Book Office has offered translators at an early stage in their careers an opportunity to test their skills and receive recognition for their efforts," added Beals. "This is a great way to encourage the next generation of translators!"

Children spotted throwing stones at motorists on M25
1:21pm Sunday 13th January 2013 in Local News
CHILDREN have been spotted throwing stones at motorists from a bridge over the M25.
A woman reported damage to her windscreen around 4.50pm on Friday when something was dropped from the B1335 Stifford Road bridge near junction 30.
On Saturday three children were spotted on the bridge throwing what were believed to be stones onto the carriageway of the M25 at the same location.
A lorry driver later reported a stone hit his cabe windscreen causing minor damage.
Searches were immediately launched following both incidents, using both local officers and the police helicopter, but no one was found.
Officers are now urging parents to ensure it is not their children committing this dangerous act.
Chief Inspector Justin Smith: "This is very serious and it is fortunate that these incidents did not result in any injuries. These children may think it is just a game but it is so very stupid and dangerous."
The children were described as two boys and a girl and she was wearing distinctive pink trousers.
They were thought to be two teenagers and a younger child.
Chief Inspector Smith added: "I would ask parents to please talk to your children and make sure it is not them that are responsible, because this is a crime and we will arrest anyone found committing these acts."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at Grays police station on 101.

People who think that wind, solar, biofuels, hydrogen, batteries, and so on will save us simply don't understand how much energy is contained in oil and other fossil fuels, how much we rely on it, how it is at the root of every aspect of our lives.
It's really powerful. Compare the energy density of oil versus other fuels

950 Biorenewable Diesel
922 Gasoline
683 Propane

25.5 % Liquid Hydrogen
25.1 % CNG @ 3626 psi
6.4 % Compressed Hydrogen @ 3626 psi
1.3 % NiMH Battery
Consider these 20-year-old statistics from the Department of Energy (double the numbers to get today's figures)
THE U.S. IMPORTS OVER 50% OF OUR OIL PER YEAR. How much is that?
= 3.1 billion barrels each year
= 130 billion gallons each year
= equivalent to 4,333,333 rail cars of oil per year, a train 49,242 miles long
= 350 million gallons each day
= equivalent to 559 Olympic-sized swimming pools, 6 feet deep
= 14,583,000 gallons each hour
= equivalent to 1,823 semi-trailers of oil
= 243,000 gallons per minute
= enough to fill over 6,000 bathtubs
= 4,050 gallons each second
= enough to operate your car for 121,500 miles (at 30 mpg)
There are a lot of videos and movies about this, here's some recent ones from national geographic.
Oil in your life today:
MMFTFF = Materials Mined, Fabricated, Transported with Fossil Fuels
MFO – Made from oil or natural gas — fossil fuels are a substance in over half a million products
EGNGC = Electricity Generated from Natural Gas or Coal, other power plants such as dams (hydroelectric) and Windmills were MMFTFF
Alarm went off: alarm was MMFTFF, likely powered by electricity generated from natural gas or coal (EGNGC). LThe plast
Brush teeth: toothbrush was MMFTFF and is made from fossil fuels (plastic has oil in int). Medicines: MMFTFf and made from oil.
Shower – water pumped with EGNGC electricity, all materials MMFTFF
Your clothes? All MMFTFF and all synthetics are made from oil.
Breakfast: eggs fried with natural gas, pan, plate, fork, knife, spoon MMFTFF. All of the food was planted by a tractor that burned oil, harvested with oil, driven to the store with oil.

Urge Congress to find a balanced approach to deficit reduction that does not involve further cuts to biomedical research
Published on: December 20, 2012
Following the death of Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-HI) earlier this week, it is expected that Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), a strong supporter of NIH and other public health programs, will be appointed as the new chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senator Mikulski is likely to be officially named as the head of the panel by her Democratic colleagues at Thursday's caucus meeting. She would become the first woman to chair that committee.
Senator Mikulski was third in line to chair the Appropriations Committee. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the most senior Democratic member of the panel after the late Senator Inouye, turned down the position to remain as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), perhaps the most vocal proponent of NIH, was next in line for the chairmanship of the full Appropriations Committee but chose to stay on as chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee rather than take the gavel at the Appropriations panel. Senator Harkin will also continue to the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations subcommittee.

We must be careful when we speak of Jesus. There are four canonical gospels and they present four different Jesuses. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note, as Chris Keith does in Jesus Against the Scribal Elite: The Origins of the Conflict that Jesus was aware of discrepancies in Israel's scripture and used such discrepancies to his advantage.
In light of Torah's significance for first-century Judaism, it can hardly be a surprise that Jesus and the scribal elite often argue over Moses and the law in the Gospels. For example, in Mark 10:2, the Pharisees ask Jesus if divorce is legal. Jesus asks in response, "What did Moses command yo?" He then exploits a discrepancy from within the law. According to Deuteronomy 24:1-4, divorces is legal, but according to Genesis 1:27 and 2:24, which Jesus cites in Mark 10:6-8, man and woman are joined in such a fashion that divorce is prohibited. In the Matthean parallel of this text (Matthew 19:3-010), Jesus answers straight from Genesis 1:27 and 2:24, with the Pharisees asking about the Mosaic exceptions inDeuteronomy 24:1-4 (Matthew 19:7).
The main task of liberal Christianity is to love the world as God loves the world, however, part of our mission also is to point out discrepancies within scripture to keep the Christians honest about the nature of the church's book and the complexity of the interpretation.

Some gadgets can help to make your home safer
When a hacker breaks into your home computer, you could have your identity stolen and your data trashed. When a burglar breaks into your home, you could have your possessions trashed or even die.
I'll take a hacker any day. Besides, the odds of being hit by a burglary are higher than those of a home hack attack.
Today, we'll talk about gadgets that can make your home safer. I'll stick to the electronic end of things. But these tips are just finishing touches to a real home security plan. Some of the best ways to protect your home are free and low-tech. At the end of this column, I'll suggest Web sites that cover those simple ways to lower the chances of a burglary.
Alarm systems: There are plenty of do-it-yourself home alarm systems, but I suggest a professionally monitored system. Sirens and flashing lights are better than nothing, but when your family's safety is at stake, a monitored system installed by pros makes sense.
You can make any alarm system more effective by avoiding false alarms. Careless owners and faulty alarm systems turn a good system into an annoyance.
A study a few years back in Charlotte found that 98 percent of all alarm signals were false. Neighbors ignore frequent false alarms, and police can fine owners when false alarms are common.
A system may be critical to security, but any good soldier will tell you that protecting the perimeter is important. Here's an area where do-it-yourself systems rule.
Peeling the onion: Think of a security plan as an onion. Your home alarm system and deadbolts on the door serve as a last line of defense that only come into play when a burglar has taken the final step and is breaking into your home.
But your first warning shouldn't be the sound of a door being forced or the scream of a burglar alarm. You need time to react and get your family to a safe area. That's where an outdoor motion detector comes into play. I bought mine from Radio Shack for $80. It triggers an alarm if someone walks onto my patio or comes into my garage.
Have a dog? Adjusting the height of the detector's beam prevents false alarms.
There's a real feeling of security in knowing that I will have advance warning of intruders on my property. My unit (Model No. RWA-300R, Catalog No. 49-429) has worked flawlessly for more than two years.
Motion-detector lights also deter burglars. Replacing existing outdoor floodlights is a do-it-yourself job as long as you are careful to turn the power off at the breaker.
Homes set a long way from the street may profit from an alarm — wired or wireless — that signals when a car pulls into the drive. The alarms can be turned off during high traffic times or during the day. Here's a Web site that offers various types of motion detectors and driveway alarms: http://tinyurl.com/6eznrr.
Keep in mind that when I mention a Web site like that, I'm offering an example of what you can find and am not recommending for or against that specific business.
One terrific use of technology is an online neighborhood hot line. That's what we do where I live. Subscribers can automatically alert neighbors to burglaries or suspicious activity. In our neighborhood, we use Yahoo Groups (http://groups.yahoo.com). It works fine and it's free.
Dumb and dumber: If you Google electronic home security systems, more than half the hits will involve video cameras that monitor your home and property. There's nothing wrong with installing one, and they're kind of neat. But unless you monitor it constantly, it's unlikely to warn you of intruders.
On the other hand, if it's a recording system, you'll have video of the burglar, right? Truth be told, the grainy video is unlikely to result in an arrest.
You'll also find robotic voices that tell burglars to go away — now that's scary — and recordings of barking dogs. These systems do little more than give a burglar a good laugh.
You can stifle that laugh fast. Here are the Web sites I promised that offer good, non-technical tips:
- http://www.crimedoctor.com/home.htm.
- http://www.homesecurityinformation.com.
Follow these tips and there's a good chance that a burglar won't walk away with that firewall-protected computer of yours.

I always make a point to taste foods I don't like (or think I don't like) every now and again just to make sure my tastes haven't changed -- if I'm lucky, they have. Still waiting for my tastebuds to flip on goat cheese -- hasn't happened yet . . .

"My highschool sweetheart, Dan, loves when I make things a little spicy. So I added some real heat to my chocolate fudge cookie to keep him interested when the kids keep us too busy to spend some time together. The next thing I know he's designing the packaging and telling the team to pre-sell it to our retail buyers! Not exactly what I had in mind... Well, at least you guys got a new flavor out of the deal."

73 comments. Why do the negative people bother to subscribe? There must be a perfect site for them somewhere. As a member for many years I have enjoyed the fantastic and skipped quickly through the mediocre. Please be kind to the models and save the criticism for the photographer. I sure miss Rylskys responses.
Let me know when you want a real ring, outstanding.
Ooh, I have a new favourite :-)
Could I have the address of the shoemaker?
The shoemaker??? Can I please have Sandra's address?
pure porn.
And sometimes that is not a bad thing.
Agreed. But I was hoping for more (or should I say less :-) here.
Usually I like the sets a bit less... agressive. Agressively shoving the pussy in my face that is. Usually I am a fan of costumes, cuteness and all that stuff.
But today was so fucked up in every regard (made one stupid mistake after another at work. Almost killed somebody AND myself driving, only crap in the mail box AND bad family news) - I needed some good old 'here look at my pussy. LOOK!' porn.
And Rylsky delivered. So I won't complain. This will never be one of my favorite sets, but it is good enough for tonight.
At least you're calling it what it is.
In my eyes :-)
Obviously I have other axes to grind here. This one just set me off :-)
"Its all about my gross pussy."
Sandra and Rylsky, you ought to be ashamed.
59 -- eeeks!
65 -- not recommended for this model.
68 -- the face of a hooker.
70 -- run!
75 -- some should keep their mouth closed :-)
95 -- nice plucked chicken!
106 -- ick! But at least she's apparently getting married! :-)
I committed the ultimate sin and flipped through this set in low rez. Let me know if I missed anything! :-)
Doug, why don't you do yourself a favor and stop looking at the girls on this site? It's clear that the vast majority of women on MetArt are just not your cup of tea. You like hairy down there and almost all the girls here are shaved. No matter what multiple meanings you meant when you said "gross pussy", you were offensive and inappropriate, not only to Sandra, but to the vast majority of viewers who voted- how often do you see 9.04? That means a LOT of people voted 9 or 10 on this set.
You are in the wrong place, spend your time elsewhere. And keep your negativity to yourself, please.
The ratings mean nothing to me, Red, except to not put much stock in them.
That's right. I am intentionally offensive here. Just to offer another side I just had to tell.
Don't take it personally.
And I certainly plan on spending my time elsewhere :-)
Inappropriate? Blasphemous? I guess so, in a church of mindless praise.
mindless praise... I think that fits well.
Some have verbal orgasms no matter what girl and what settings. No matter how boring, always the same crap is delivered. No matter how bad the nails, unkempt and badly shaven the girl is (please, either do it right or not at all. Please). Some athletes food? No problem for these guys.
Other praise every set, as long as there are at least 20 pussy closeups.
That is not what I want or need (usually).
It sure does seem that way to me.
I'm struck by how undiscriminating so many commentators seem to be. They say the same thing about every girl, even as I see huge differences.
And the superlatives fly! If everything is great, nothing is, right?
Anyhow, let's just air it out! :-)
You are spitting into the wind my friend. You are NOT going to have any influence being obnoxious and/or offensive. What you call "mindless praise" happens to be the sincere opinion of the vast majority of viewers. It has been said before, but is worth repeating- if you have constructive suggestions to make the shoots better, then do so in a conscientious way. My point is that if you are so turned off that you have to be nasty, then you are simply in the wrong place. This is not rocket science, grow up and be a decent man.
WELL SAID, I concur 100%
We come here for beauty not vitriol, We don't need trolls especially when you start making negative comments about the models. These are real women with real feelings and they don't deserve to be treated like gutter trash. One snide comment can do more damage than a hundred compliments and it last a hundred times longer.
hipshot, finally today you jumped in, I wasn't up for getting the continued arguments he uses to try and justify his boorish behavior.
Doug, It is not because we are not discriminating. On the contrary most of us are discriminating but we have more or less agreed that it is best to simply defer when we don't like a model. We all have or preferences and there is no doubt that what one likes another won't. I only comment on models that I like so naturally it might appear that I always say nice things about every girl I comment on. You will find on some nights I don't comment at all. That in it's self is a comment. Like you there are certain things I want to see in these sets but that is the responsibility of the photographer and I do criticize them but I try to keep the comments specific so that they know why I am commenting. It is obvious that you take pleasure in being harsh and disruptive. On most forums you would have been booted long ago. I think that the staff here is way to forgiving.
I tell my version of the truth, hipshot, when I can.
I'm sorry if it's too much for you; you ought to consider why.
I can't believe it's all about the girls, since you yourself have said some potentially hurtful things about them.
But that's the way it goes in an open forum that each of us are paying to participate in.
It is not what you say as much as how you say it. At one time I was guilty of making comments that could have been hurtful until I became friends with Rylsky and became aware of the error of my ways. I am now acquainted with several models and a few photographers and realize what careless words can do. This is why I actively try to help keep things civil and why I commented on what you said and the careless way you said it. As Browning said I am sure that everyone who reads the comments is very much aware of your lust for hair. That is why I think it is unnecessary for you to hit on it in every single post you make. As the others said today. It will change nothing so why bother?
We could debate this till the cows come home and nothing will change. It's like politic and religion. We choose to believe what we want and no amount of argument will change our minds.
Got news for ya -- my words weren't careless, they were quite deliberate.
And how would you know what comments will change what?
I don't believe I mention hair in every post, but if you think I do, be sure to avoid them. You're free to :-)
Uh-oh, here come da cop!
Apply that to yourself as well, Red :-)
I'm not really sure where to insert my comment in this discussion.
Doug, I'm not sure what set you off today but something got under your skin.
There are a few who praise each and every girl and set, but if that's what they want to do (or how they actually feel), who I am to say they shouldn't?
I would imagine most of "us" don't sweat the details of a photo shoot the way you (and a couple others) probably do.
I don't care about pubic hair (whether the model has it or not). I don't look at finger nails, toes, dirty feet, how well pubic hair is (or isn't) trimmed, background/setting, etc.....and I venture to guess most others don't either.
Another possibility is that you only see praise from the vast majority of "commenters" because some (like myself) try to stay positive and don't post at all if they dislike a certain set, photographer, and/or model.
Sometimes it's what you don't say that shows how you feel.
The vast majority of the regular crowd gets along very well. They realize that many of the models read these comments and try to take this into account when they start a topic or post a response.
I believe this is why many regulars (including myself) don't like it much when a model is personally attacked.
Most of these girls are in their early to mid twenties, they're very young, and it just doesn't seem right to be critical of any young woman's appearance.
On the topic of pubic hair....I'm afraid you're never going to be happy with the majority of the models on Met Art.
I don't know why the trend is to be clean shaven, it really doesn't matter anyway because it will continue until there's a cultural change.
I believe it's just a cycle and it will eventually return to the days when woman let their pubic hair grow.
I am not trying to be rude with anything I wrote....I try to be a realist.
I very much doubt there's anything you can say that's going to change the fact that 90% of the women on Met Art have a clean shaven (or very limited hair) mons pubis and vulva.
I hope you understand my point and don't take this as an attack on you.
Browning, Thank You, I think you properly stated exactly what I have been espousing as the proper philosophy for a constructive comment section. I personally expected the repeated attempt to bait us and blame us for being upset. I just wasn't in the mood, today. But you were and did, brilliantly. If we want a minimum of moderation, which I believe most do, a certain level of restraint is necessary. Our missing Ry opened my eyes to the effect we could have on our models. Quite ironically today over on Sex on a day old posting the model I had suggested should be the model of the year for Sex, Lorena B fired back at such comments as we are talking about by posting under her name alone a very long rebuttal/explanation of what the artist, editors, etc and models face. She raised n issue I had not thought about. That what we do here and even moreso on Sex is relatively new. We, Met, in general are attracting new "blood" not worn out porn people. They to are learning as we go. I doubt there are any classes which teach erotic movie making, yet. Thus they do need our feedback. But not abuse. To the hyper critics, If you don't appreciate it, don't watch. Once again thank you Browning. You get it...
Hopefully no one else will respond between this post and swplf2's and Doug's posts because I want to thank the two of you.
Thank you swplf2
Thank you Doug
swplf2, I'm sure you are aware that I have a lot of respect for you. You have always been a gentleman.
I don't want to get into listing names of all the "regulars" who help make this forum a civil and enjoyable place to "hang out" for fear that I'll miss naming a person or two....I think we all know who one another is anyway.
Doug, I was a little surprised by your anger today. You are usually very nice when stating your opinion. I'll just write it off as you had a bad day.....and we're all entitled to this on occasion.
I doubt anyone who frequents this forum isn't fully aware of your preference for pubic hair.
You definitely notice details that I wouldn't see in a million years....not that noticing details is wrong, because it surely is not.
I prefer some pubic hair myself. I prefer a trimmed look that would normally be hidden under panties or a bikini.
The difference I guess is that the most important thing to me is whether I think the model is beautiful TO ME (I'm not overly concerned what others think about my preferences)....and in doing so, the amount (or lack) of pubic hair is not a deciding factor.
Whatever the model chooses is completely fine with me.
There are many sites that advertise as "hirsute" or "hairy" websites, the problem I've noticed (very limited sample) is that these sites do not have anywhere near the quality of models and/or photographers that Met Art and it's network of sites does.
Thank you for understanding my point Doug, and I am glad I did not offend you.
You're right, I was pretty angry this morning. It had to do with yesterday, what was said in related forums -- the story goes back much further, and could be pretty well read in comments of mine.
You're absolutely right -- if a girl has beauty, all is forgiven!
And maybe even Sandra does -- I just don't see it, though actually there are some near-redeeming shots in this set that I skipped by to make my points.
IOW, Rylsky hasn't lost his art. But he's going for something with Sandra that I don't like. It stands in stark contrast with what I do.
No problem Browning, you put it very nicely.
I'm guilty of using Sandra L as a sacrificial lamb for a seeming type of woman I see too much of on this and related sites. She's a queenly, even aggressive example of this type, and very popular -- a big easy target for me to hit.
I'm not here to be nice, or popular. I joined in large part because I had something to say, and I've been saying it.
You may note that I do like shaven girls here, even though I would prefer them to be unshaven, and let them (or whoever) know that.
You obviously missed it all. It could be argued that Sandra's womanhood is not the best we've seen on MA, but "...gross..."? C'mon man! Might not be your preference but it looks great to me (and prob many others)
Sandra, ignore the neg comments. You are gorgeous and thank you for being so generous sharing your beauty with us. I'll take the liberty and say that the vast majority of us appreciate you greatly.
Look up "gross" and you'll see how it could fit.
Though I must admit I intend more than one meaning.
Think if she didn't shave it I'd find it more palatable.
Fat chance of that happening!
There are many models on met who in my opinion have gross pussies that should not be shown up close but this is not even close! I fact spreading it makes it even more lushes looking.
There's no arguing taste!
At least in this sort of thing.
Back to hair for a moment. It adds so much variety and difference to a pussy. It dresses a vulva up.
Anyway, I'm not gonna change any minds here. I'm not trying to. I'm just expressing things I have to express. And I have the means to, thanks to Comments.
But the feature can be dangerous :-)
I bet both Sandra and Rylsky are tuff enuf to take it. Look, you can't please everybody all the time. Tomorrow's another day -- opinions will be expressed. They're just opinions. What someone makes of them is what's really important.
To be perfectly honest with you Doug, I don't understand any of your criticisms???
BTW, if she is Orthodox Christian, they usually wear an engagement ring on the right "ring" finger. There's a very good chance she's not wearing an engagement ring.
I apologize, I could very well be wrong about her ring. Sandra is from Hungary so the ring could be an engagement ring. If so Sandra, I hope the man you are engaged to treats you like a queen.
IMO, there's not a square inch of Sandra that any changing. She's beautiful just as she is.
BROWNING Never apologies! YOU always come back with a correction if you realize you weren't dead on.
That's cool, Browning!
What don't you understand?
Oh, and I'm sorry to hear she's probably not yet getting married!
Let me explain. This model has grossed me out for awhile, and I finally had enough and flipped my lid.
Just to counter some of the endless gushing praise.
Sorry, but some things just have to be done.
Now, go back to enjoying her. To each his or her own.
Hard to add anything to what's already been said. I expected complaints that she is too thin, but was wrong. In my book, I could not imagine a more perfect body. And Rylsky has shown what a master he is. The only change I could ask for is when she pulls her cheeks apart on 106 and 107, her luscious lips still stay frustratingly closed. Maybe just as well, had they parted to reveal the beauty inside, I may have had heart failure. ;-)
Sadly I will make that comment for you. She is to skinny for my tastes and the shoes really accentuate it. She would have been better served to have left the shoes at home. I must say though that I think these platform shoes are one of the most terrible trends to hit the market in a long time. IMHO they do not look good on any woman.
No offense Sandra, You are quite lovely I just prefer a more robust legs.
Grab your nitroglycerin tablets and check Sandra out on RylskyArt. She is abundantly generous there. If you have a heart condition, make sure your affairs are in order before you click on her set TORNA.
Just joking about the heart thing, but thank you for the tip. *sigh*, looks like I get to spend more money on my infatuation with naked women!
Rest assured RA is very much worth your $$ and the member participation there is actually a part of the site. Rylsky works with the members and has made lots of positive changes that reflect the members wishes.
And educated us along the way....
Absolutely, positively, hands down, 110 percent, incredible poses by the photographer. In particular, shots 108 through 113. Taps into the primal, carnal fantasy of real 'grab her by the ass', and go to town mouth to flower/lips to pearl, debauchery. Nothing like going down, while really going up, and looking up to see those gorgeous, wanton eyes looking back at you, with a satisfied smile. I could definitely break furniture with this model.
What a pussy!!!! Damn!!
Long legs, heels, and a dress !!
What a way to start a Monday !
Got my "10" for the day --
Wow! That is one gorgeous building once Sandra finishes decorating it and hanging a few smiles on it.
Powerful, stunning, dynamic photographs in superb setting with Sandra at her peak. Rylsky has given a command performance of his craftmanship. Thanks to both for this beautiful set of pictures.
Could not agree with you more justagigolo even as a female i'm totaly at awe with this stunning tall Hungarian beauty he truelly captured her beauty very well with this series with some striking powerful sexy sensual poses :)
Sandra Lauver,
killer eyes and lips painted by a painter lover.
Wonderful legs without end.
Completely uninhibited shares all her glories of young woman.
Who to applaud?
The model or the photographer.
Both. Encore!
Yes, both.
I would do anything to have those legs wrapped around me...
So would I! Fly around the world, empty my bank account, whatever it takes!
Erotic and sexually intense photographs. Bravo!!
gorgeous girl. beautiful face, tall body, long legs, delicious boobs, and gorgeous hot ass.
Today is to be the birthday of great composer. I enjoy his works & this superb set tonight.
Ludwig van Beethoven and Rylsky, two great artists. Our's is a truly beautiful world.
Dear Mr. Nail, every mediocre artist has his or her own admirer. So, obviously you are Mr. Rylsky's worshipper. That's ok, my dear friend. Anyways, plesse be tolerant to others who don't share your admiration.
Noise of black line can be seen on 20th frame. MetArt,can you remove that?
hey rlysky...maybe you could show alex iskan how to take photos of a beautiful girl...your photos for today are a far better quality than mr iskan's even though your rig shows less than half pixel power...I know that megapixels are not everything but I could shoot higher quality with my DIY lighting and my d5100
Iskan's biggest sin is his painting over of shaved skin, in my book. He's not the only MetArt "artist" who can't resist shaving a shaved girl with Photoshop, but he is a dependable example. I sure wouldn't trust my face or body to these butchers!
You're right about the megapixel myth. A lot of these guys use 20, even 30+ meg cams and unintentionally get shots softer than I get with my 7oz S100. It's because they don't know how to use their rigs. And also because MetArt never complains.
Some of the best IQ on this site is shot with full-frame 12 megapixel cams. By photogs who understand this stuff.
it is about jitter and vibration. If you go beyond 20mp on a full frame sensor the moving of the mirror is enough to blurr the pic.
I would like to know what gear the artists are using? Full frame? APS-C? Give us some exif data! Pleeaaaaaasseeee..
A medium format can handle 40mp just fine... it just bankrupts you trying to buy one...
That said - I own a compact samsung click&shoot 12mp and a pentax k-30. And the k30 is able to provide details... even with the 'I can't get a sharp pic with this crap' kit objective...
It's also about poor focus, limited depth of field, and lenses that aren't up to the job.
Alex Sironi uses I believe a Nikon D3 or D700 for his shots of Kristel. 12MP. It seems to me with prime lenses. Whatever else you may say about them, the image quality is generally fine, excellent for this site.
No Exif data of course. Gotta do detective work to tell...
even with a beginners DSLR and good lenses you can take fine shots.
but even with a highend DSLR and cheapo lenses all the stuff you get is a blurfest.
Bokeh is a good thing. As long as there is something actually in focus.
Could be. It's kinda like a good guitar player doesn't need a great guitar to sound good.
Or the pool player who blames the cue :-)
All else being equal it would be nice to use the best equipment. But when is all else equal :-?
Indeed, what is the "best" equipment? Everything's a trade-off.
I would just ask that someone use theirs competently, if not mindfully.
It ain't easy to deliberately get good pictures. I sense a lot of rush in the sets here of late.
Could be good news for a skilled photog lookin' for work :-)
Beautiful long legs, delicious pussy, sexy toes.
Gorgeous, totally revealing poses, lovely stretches and contortions! A wonderful job, sweetheart!
This beautiful Sandra Lauver is supremely erotic, sensual and seductive. Such a remarkably gorgeous young woman. So very comfortable with her exquisite youthful sexuality. She is possessed of a perfectly beautiful tall and slender body and a wonderful face which radiates her amazing feminine charm. Such an amazing young woman.
Actually, I do not perfer such thoroughly generous displays of female anatomy. I certainly will not download this set. But I will say that Sandra is particularly willing to do this kind modeling. She is undeniably beautiful and sensual and she certainly pleases many MetArt members. I see no need to be rude or insulting to the model or the photographer. Indeed I believe it is best to be as positive as possible.

Elon Law School to Open Elder Law Clinic
Posted Aug 15, 2012 10:55 AM CDT
By Molly McDonough
Elon University School of Law announced this week that it plans to open a student-staffed Elder Law Clinic this fall and will begin reviewing cases Wednesday.
The clinic will provide free legal counsel to low and moderate-income area residents aged 60 and over, according to a post on the North Carolina school's website.
"The clinic will provide excellent educational opportunities for our law students by exposing them to a broad range of law and client circumstances," Associate Professor of Law Margaret Kantlehner, who will direct the clinic, is quoted saying.
The clinic, which will operate under faculty supervision through the school's Humanitarian Immigration Law Clinic and Wills Drafting Clinic, expects largely to address civil issues such as power of attorney, end-of-life planning, contracts, consumer issues, benefits, housing and grandparent rights matters.

The excellent UK site History and Policy carries a paper by Ben Cowell, written earlier this year, in the wake of the UK government's proposal to sell off much of the public forest estate. There was a public outcry, which appeared to take the government by surprise. Cowell suggests that had policy-makers been more aware of the history of contestation regarding rights and access to forest, the government would not only have been more prepared, but may also have formulated its proposal differently.

Exploring NZ's environmental history through mapsPosted by envirohistorynz under book review | Tags: atlas, book review, Environmental History, geography, Malcolm McKinnon, Maori horticulture, maps, New Zealand, New Zealand Historical Atlas, Palliser Bay |
Leave a Comment
I feel slightly embarrassed to admit this (and therefore perhaps shouldn't), but I have only recently discovered the cartographic and other visual delights which lie between the sturdy covers of the New Zealand Historical Atlas, published in 1997.
Of course, I had seen it referenced many times in scholarship on New Zealand's environmental history, but (and this is where my less than favourable encounters with high-school geography may be revealed), I had imagined a dusty old book of the traditional style maps that only a dyed-in-the-wool geographer or cartographer would get excited about.

Coast: three generations of men on the Rangitikei coastPosted by envirohistorynz under book review | Tags: Coast, David Young, father and son relationship, Koitiata, Marton, Rangitikei, Scotland, Scottish settlers, Turakina, Turakina River |
Leave a Comment
"Coast" is a novel written by David (Carnegie) Young about three generations of men; their relationships with each other and the wild Rangitikei coast. Strong themes running through the book are ancestry and belonging (and acceptance). The narrative is largely based in the Rangitikei: in the township of Marton and the small beach settlement of Koitiata, near Turakina [click here to view map], spanning from around the turn of the 20th century through to today (or thereabouts).
The Turakina River features prominently in the narrative: as a destructive and unpredictable force which takes life in the dramatic opening scenes of the novel; as a source of food and recreation for Maori and European alike; as an ancestral place for Maori; as a source of historical relics (including shoes of the victims of the Tangiwai train disaster); and, as a dynamic and powerful forger of the landscape.

A burning question: what is pastoralism?Posted by envirohistorynz under commentary | Tags: burning, Canterbury, Environmental History, Mount Peel, Mt Peel, New Zealand, pastoralism, Robert Peden, run, Seeds of Empire, sheep farming, South Island, station |
Leave a Comment
I have learned a few things while reading "Seeds of Empire", by Tom Brooking and Eric Pawson, including the definitions of some terms that crop up a bit in environmental history literature (see also: How did the Korean War change the NZ landscape?). One example of this is in Robert Peden's essay "Pastoralism and the transformation of open grasslands" (Chapter 5).
Using Mount Peel Station* in central Canterbury as a case study, Peden explains how pastoralism transformed much of the eastern hillcountry (or rangelands, as he refers to them) of the South Island, and seeks also to debunk a few myths about the impacts of pastoralism while he is at it (specifically, about the role of pastoralism in rabbit infestations and burning as a management tool).

A few months ago, I posted the story, The city of hidden lagoons: Palmerston (of the north), which explored the watery history of the Manawatu city of Palmerston North, where I grew up. In particular, the post told a little of the story of the long-forgotten Awapuni Lagoon, which once lay in the south-west corner of the city. This post will add to that story, with the history of the Mangaone Stream, which fed into the Manawatu River in the same area of the lagoon. (more…)

My last post How did the Korean War change the NZ landscape? and specifically the mention of the demise of local dairy factories in the post-Korean War years, led me to think about ex-dairy factory towns and villages within my immediate orbit.

Stoney's world
Ask an animal lover to define the term, and they'll describe the devotion of a Lab or a collie.
Ask a Hokie or a Wahoo about loyalty, and you'll hear of season tickets going back decades, or blue/orange/maroon themes for cars, wardrobes and home decorating.
But ask a Highland Springs H.S. alum of the last 50 years, and one name comes to the lips: Stoney.
At 69, Robert "Stoney" Jones has never held office, but could likely win a local election in a landslide.
This most prominent citizen of Highland Springs is not its mayor or its most successful business leader. He was never a stand-out in athletic competition -- unless you count his reputation for bruising tackles as a teen-age linebacker on a sandlot team. Yet he owns a collection of game balls, trophies, and team caps and jackets that would put a Heisman winner to shame. As the Springers' premiere statistician, he can reel off scores, league records and even a play-by-play of big game from decades ago.
Not bad for a guy who was a sixth grade dropout.
The son of a Wise, Va., coal miner, Jones was already struggling in life when his dad died of black lung disease and the family had to be split between Wise and Richmond. A bout of whooping cough Jones had as a child ("My mother said I had a 105 degree temperature," he says almost proudly) may or may not have been the culprit; but at any rate, Jones grew up with learning limitations and left formal schooling in adolescence.
Since their father was a Mason, the Jones brothers moved to the Masonic Home of Virginia in eastern Henrico, then a home for needy children. Stoney's brothers went on to star at Highland Springs, and brother Joe, who played football for Al Rinaldi in the 1950s, asked Al to find a place for Stoney in sports.
Thus he began his long career as ball boy while Joe was a player; brother Ronnie played for Rinaldi soon afterwards. Jones has been known to cite Ronnie as his favorite all-time Springer, but one of the latest Springer alums is giving Ronnie a run for his money.
"Victor," he says of "Macho" Harris, who now plays for Virginia Tech, "is better than my brothers were. Macho, he's the nicest kid you'd ever meet. He ain't cocky -- ain't cocky!"
In October 2004, after a Richmond Times Dispatch photographer captured Harris on a touchdown run -- and the photo ran with an elated, very animated Stoney clearly visible in the background -- the clipping was hung on a bulletin board at the field house. Anyone who stopped by was ushered to the bulletin board by a beaming Stoney.
"Look!" he told them. "Look at my picture!"
A half century of service
As HSHS ball boy for more than 50 years, Jones is a master at the task of rotating the two game balls to keep them dry and in playing condition, and running them on and off the field to officials.
And don't let that ragged lope of his fool you -- Jones can move. HSHS trainer Jim Meunier brags that when Stoney was 56, he apparently beat a 19-year-old who challenged him to a foot race.
In keeping with the tradition established under Rinaldi, Jones is now senior member of a squad of younger graduates of the HSHS special education program who work the Springer sidelines on Friday nights.
Wesley Walden, Graham Wright, and Kirk Hardy all help out as assistant managers -- though Walden enjoys an extra title all his own.
"His left arm doesn't work," says Rudy Ward, activities director and a former coach for HSHS, "so we call him our 'right-hand man.' "
Wright has also been recognized for his contributions with a special title. A full-time employee at Bunkie Trinite trophies, volunteer at the Richmond YMCA, and veteran competitor in basketball, golf, and softball, he was honored this spring as Special Olympics of Virginia's Athlete of the Year.
Perhaps it's appropriate that Stoney, the dean and elder statesman of managers for HSHS football, just took a job at Dean Foods in Sandston. Ten hours a day, four days a week he loads and unloads 36-pound boxes of margarine off trucks -- so that he can have Friday game days free. "That's a lot of butter!" chortles Stoney. "I got my freezer full!"
Noting that Stoney has retired more than once in a career that includes serving as groundskeeper at the Masonic home and custodian at HSHS, Meunier concluded that Stoney seems unable to remain retired. He gets bored.
"He's pushing 70," says Meunier admiringly, citing the ease with which Jones can sling a large water cooler onto a cart. "But he's still at it."
What's in a nickname?
Whether it's the "whippin' " he got when he was nine (apparently for climbing a tree during a game of cowboy with brother Ronnie), or the prize bull raised at Masonic Home that tore up a boxcar, Stoney Jones relishes his stories. He'll even tell a few on himself -- such as a recent face-plant he made in the mud after tripping at a JV game with Henrico HS.
"They asked, 'You okay? You okay?'" he recalls with a grin, gleefully savoring his punch line. "I said, 'You can't hurt an old man!"
Then there's the story of the 'Stoney' name, which grew out of an incident in which he hit his head on a brick wall.
On purpose? he is asked.
Oh yes, on purpose. Jones head-butted the wall because he did not want to face "the gauntlet," a paddling line then used as a disciplinary measure at the Masonic Home.
And the wall?
"I knocked it down – broke it in two," he says matter-of-factly.
"He still has the original brick," interjects Meunier with a smile.
But it's the sports stories that get Stoney going. How he loves to just sit and reel off the names of all the coaches who have come and gone during his tenure!
"Coach [Lindy] Hill, Coach Rinaldi, Coach Burrell, [current] Coach Scott [Burton].
"Coach Scott, he's like a daddy to me," Jones adds solemnly.
Asked to cite a few highlights from his career, he regales a reporter with stories of no-hitters, TD runs and a grand slam home run hit by hall-of-famer Kip Coughlan. (Stoney is ball boy during basketball and baseball seasons also.) He tells how it felt to hang over the rail at a nail-biter basketball playoff won by the Springers. "I was nervous -- my eyes were all bloodshot. Three overtimes!" Of being unable to sleep all night after the excitement of beating Varina in football last Dec. 13.
Jones also recalls a trip to Hampton Roads in the 1970s when the crowd actually used the benches as snowplows to clear the field for play. "It snowed like cats and dogs. But Coach wouldn't cancel it -- playoff game!"
"You asked him the wrong question," Meunier tells the reporter, with a mock roll of his eyes. "You'll never stop him now."
No, there's no stopping Stoney. Not with brick walls. Not with a supposedly life-ruining "handicap." Not even age stops Stoney.
And there's no missing him either. His photo presence is all over the HSHS Wall of Fame, where he shares space with his brothers Joe and Ronnie on the wall for star Boosters.
Frank Daylor, who worked numerous HSHS games as an official for the Central Virginia Football Officials Association, calls Stoney the most widely known citizen of Highland Springs.
"I've been down to Highland Springs when he was walking down the sidewalk," says Daylor, "and everyone was making a fuss over him -- honking and waving and yelling, "Hi Stoney! Hey, Stoney!"
And every single one of his fans, in return, gets his signature grin.
In 57 years, Stoney Jones has missed just a handful of games -- maybe five -- out of almost 600. As Rudy Ward has said, "At Highland Springs our history is our strength, and Stoney is in a lot of that history. Stoney is married to the school."
To Jones, it's simple. "I love my kids, and my kids love me.
"When I don't come, they all say, 'Where's Stoney?'"

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

A venous reflux exam is a non-invasive test used to evaluate the valves inside the veins of the legs. If a patient requires a venous reflux exam because of vascular problems, both legs should be evaluated. The test is designed to identify problems inside leg veins and arteries, caused by damage inside the blood vessel, which can cause problems with the direction of blood flow, and the velocity of the blood flow in the leg. Identifying the cause of these problems is important to prevent damage caused by poor circulation.
During the test, a small sensor is attached to the leg that monitors blood flow. The patient then pumps their foot up and down several times to help the blood to flow through the leg. The sensor measures the speed that the blood flows through the leg, and from these measurements the doctor can determine if the valves are working correctly, or if there is a problem with circulation. Some tests involve placing blood pressure cuffs along the leg and monitoring the blood flow patterns by ultrasound.
The cost of a venous reflux exam can vary depending on the facility where you receive the test. For more information about venous reflux exams, visit a vascular treatment facility today.
Dr. John Chuback of Chuback Vein Center is a highly trained Ridgewood vein specialist who is dedicated to helping patients rid themselves of varicose veins and spider veins. These conditions are very troubling for many patients due to the aesthetically unappealing appearance of the disease. Some patients may lead to embarrassment and self-consciousness due to the appearance of the venous conditions. Varicose veins may even cause pain and heaviness in the legs. Patients are encouraged to talk to this Ridgewood vein specialist to determine which treatment is right for them.
A variety of treatments are available through this highly trained Ridgewood vein specialist. These include ambulatory phlebectomy, endovenous laser ablation, foam sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, radiofrequency occlusion and venous reflux exams. Natural varicose vein remedies may also be available at this clinic. To learn more about these or other treatments, patients are encouraged to seek consultation with Dr. Chuback or a member of the medical staff at this facility.

NH students tread water in statewide assessment test
Reading test results showed 79 percent of third- through eighth-graders and 11th-graders statewide proved themselves proficient (22 percent) or proficient with distinction (57 percent) on the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) - the same percentage as the year before.
Meanwhile, students statewide scored slightly better in math and writing than they did the year before, according to test results made public Jan. 31. Students who performed at proficient or proficient with distinction levels totaled 68 percent in math last fall, compared to 67 percent the year before.
A total 55 percent students performed at proficient and above levels in writing last fall, compared to 54 percent the year before.
The remaining students scored at either partial proficiency or substantially below proficient.
Manchester lags
Manchester students in grades three through eight and eleventh-graders collectively scored below state levels.
The percentage of Manchester students scoring proficient or better in reading last fall was 61 compared to 62 percent the year before; 50 percent in math compared to 51 percent the year before; and 44 percent in writing compared to 41 percent the year before.
But test scores show clear improvement when reviewed by grade level over the last three years, said Merry Fortier, school accountability consultant with the state Department of Education.
"By the time students got in eighth grade, their scores are still below the state average, but they are the highest (they've been) in three years. So they are trending in the direction you want them to trend in and that's true in reading, math and writing," she said.
Smyth Road and Green Acres Elementary schools had the highest reading and math proficiency scores, she said. Hallsville went from 62 percent to 69 percent reading proficiency, while Weston increased from 65 percent to 70 percent reading proficiency.
"Again, this isn't where they want to be. But they are moving in a positive direction," Fortier said.
Eleventh-graders at Manchester public high schools generally did not perform as well.
Manchester Memorial High School saw math proficiency fall from 30 percent to 24 percent and writing drop from 45 to 39 percent. Reading remained nearly unchanged: 70 percent to 69 percent.
At Manchester Central High School, reading went from 77 percent to 64 percent proficiency while writing dropped from 56 percent to 41 percent. Math remained nearly the same, going from 31 percent to 30 percent.
Manchester West High School saw gains in writing and math proficiency, 19 percent to 21 percent and 18 percent to 19 percent respectively. Reading went from 55 percent to 53 percent.
Bedford, Goffstown
The percentage of Bedford students who showed themselves at least proficient in reading, math and writing were 93, 87 and 71 percent respectively. This compares with reading, math and writing scores of 94 percent, 88 percent and 75 percent the year before.
In Goffstown, 84 percent of the students scored proficient and above in reading, 72 percent in math and 64 percent in writing in 2012. This compares to 84 percent who scored at least proficient in reading, 73 percent in math and 58 percent in writing the year prior.
Hooksett results
In Hooksett, 87 percent of students scored at least proficient in reading, 80 percent in math and 63 percent in writing in 2012.
This compares with 84 percent who scored at least proficient in reading, 81 percent in math and 63 percent in writing the year before.
State Education Commissioner Virginia Barry called the statewide 2012 NECAP performances "statistically the same" compared with prior years.
This is the eighth year NECAP tests were taken by third- through eighth-graders and the sixth year it has been administered to high school students, she said.
"Approximately 10 percent more students at each grade and in each content area are achieving grade-level standards than were at the beginning of the NECAP assessment program," Barry said in a statement.
