Fisker Nina caught peeking out before New York reveal
by Sebastian Blanco (RSS feed) on Mar 29th, 2012 at 4:45PM
Who wants to wait until the official unveiling of the Fisker Nina plug-in hybrid next week when we can see spy shots right this second? Neither do we. So, what do the shots reveal? For starters, we can see that the Nina is indeed shorter than its Karma big brother. This is expected, but the impression we have is that the Karma's design language translates quite well into a vehicle about the size of a BMW 5 Series. The front end, too, sports a moustache-like grille that's similar to the one on the Karma. On the back side, the "EVer" badge is still proudly in place, but the non-functional... Read More

Tonight the New Establishment Award at the British Fashion Awards went to Erdem. The Canadian-born designer beat Jonathan Saunders and Medham Kirchhoff to the gong which was presented to him by none other than Samantha Cameron (wearing one of his designs) at the Savoy Hotel in Central London.
Erdem's creations have been showcased by some of the world's most famous women. Not only are actresses Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger and Keira Knightley all fans, but in the summer of 2011, the designer saw himself dragged into the royal arena when Kate Middleton wore a series of Erdem dresses during her tour of Canada.
The designer delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech dedicated to his parents. He said: "I wasn't really ready for this so thank you. I have to thank the British Fashion Council. It's a wonderful privilege to be part of London Fashion Week. I work with the most amazing team who work so hard. Phillip, who I love for putting up with me for ten years. I accept this award in remembrance of my parents. They always gave me this great sense that the impossible was possible."
Let's take a look at some of Erdem's 2012 fashion highlights:
1. He dressed Keira Knightley for a premiere in LA
2. He dressed Kate Middleton for a reception in Singapore
3. He dressed Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr
4. He dressed Kate Middleton for Trooping The Colour 2012
5. He was one of the hottest tickets in the London Fashion Week schedule
6. He dressed Michelle Williams for the Late Show with David Letterman

This Urtext edition contains rewarding discoveries for all lovers of Mozart. Mozart left behind a total of eight unfinished works for piano and violin, predominantly discontinued sonata movements. The music is so wonderful that we have published a separate volume with this group of works – all of which (aside from a fragment in the appendix to our edition) have been completed so that they can be performed. We not only include the familiar completed versions by Maximilian Stadler but also new ones by Robert D. Levin. He has contributed five, each of which is full of Mozartian spirit. A preface with a critical report presents the facts in detail and incorporates the most recent scholarly findings. Benjamin Schmid and Ariane Haering have provided fingerings for this edition that is in every sense unique.

A couple weeks ago when I was having a Control4 system programmed in my home theater (as part of a Sony DA2800ES receiver review, which I'll post shortly), the local installer who was helping, HouseLogix, told me they had something else cool they wanted me to try at the same time. Sure enough, they were right.
It turned out that HouseLogix is the developer of the VoicePod, a voice control device that Electronic House's executive editor, Lisa Montgomery, ran across last year at CEDIA and was suitably impressed by. HouseLogix' Ryan Quinby told me the VoicePod was designed for use with Control4 and would permit voice control over anything the Control4 system could do.
A few days later, the installer arrived, got the Sony receiver (with its built-in Control4 processor) all suited up, and then set up the VoicePod. That took a little longer, and I could hear Jonathan from HouseLogix in the basement testing key phrases while the room lights dimmed and brightened.
A little while later he said it was done and ready for me to use.
If you're familiar with Apple's Siri, and I know you are, then you understand the concept. Say something, and something happens. The magic is in how well it actually works. Anyone who's struggled trying to get Siri to send a text message without tragically misinterpreting it will no doubt be skeptical of VoicePod. However, I can assure you that VoicePod is considerably better at hearing and understanding commands than Siri or my 16-year-old daughter (to be fair, I haven't asked VoicePod to clean toothpaste off the bathroom mirror).
The product itself is a little bigger than a hockey puck and contains both a speaker and a microphone. It doesn't send out any commends itself; rather it sends a signal wirelessly via Zigbee to the Control4 system, which then does all the heavy automation work it was programmed to do. The module is small enough to not be noticeable in most rooms, but it includes a microphone input and speaker output so you can hide the main unit.
The product idea was born after HouseLogix was involved in putting a control system into a rehabilitation hospital near Allentown. The team realized that one thing which would go a long way toward giving disabled people more independence was voice control. They soon set out to develop a product, and three years later we have VoicePod.
My VoicePod installation was pretty basic. I just had one room, a standard theater with a projector, receiver, a couple of source components and some lights. HouseLogix programmed some sensible lighting scenes on Control4 dimmers. The company gave me a cheat sheet of commends, which included some special "remote" commends that allowed me to drill down a little bit, but for the most part I was able to ignore the cheat sheet and just wing it. VoicePod can be pretty forgiving.
The device can be used to control just about anything. For instance, when I enter the room I wake up the device with the keywords "Hello VoicePod," in the same way that some Samsung 2012 smart TVs responded to "Hi TV." The neat thing about VoicePod is that you know it heard you because it answers, "How may I help you?" The system recognizes about 300 commands, but most installations will use only a small fraction of those—300 is a lot of custom commands for a person to remember so it makes sense to pick just the ones that will be used.
In my room, it easily handles most theater requirements. Speaking the command "Watch," causes the VoicePod to ask me what source. In my room that means a choice between Blu-ray, Roku and Playstation 3 (incidentally, VoicePod doesn't know the word Roku, but it does know Media Player, and speaking that caused the Sony receiver to switch to the Roku input). From there I can either pick up the Control4 remote to find my streaming service and select my video, or issue another command, "Remote Control" which lets me says things like "Move Left," "Play," etc. to navigate around a menu (this works with any onscreen menu including Blu-ray players and DVRs). Commands like "Set Volume Low" are also convenient. For my room, HomeLogix programed in three volume settings to make selection easier. Light dimness settings were also programed in for multiple scenarios which could easily be activated through voice commands.Facebook and Twitter.

Olena has all the looks to be the next big super-model and absolutely none of the desire.
SHE WILL be the first to announce that she has over five boyfriends; a fact that keeps her cell phone ringing non-stop at all times during the day or night. With gorgeous full bodied hair and a killer figure, Olena knows she is desirable and has no interest in settling down anytime soon.
Unfortunately, Olena's social habits kept her from experiencing a successful shoot with Petter Hegre. After interrupting the creative atmosphere several times to answer her phone, Petter was eventually forced to give up on her, cancel the shoot, and escorted her out of the studio.
She has not been heard from since.

olena and viktoria could be a dynamic duo.. both have excellent features but the two together a bit of sensory overload I think both looked better ontheir separate galleries would like to see each of them but only on individual galleries

I had better stop there as I'm sure you dont want to read what happened to them, once we arrived home, now do you?... Sir Stefan

Olena A great set of pictures of a stunning girl. Olena is so scrumptious Petter you must tempt her back. Take her phone and drop it in a bucket of water and watch her sizzle. Then shoot away before she thumps you. The results should be explosive.

In part 3 of my monad tutorial for Clojure programmers, I explained that the main purpose of the state monad is to facilitate the implementation of stateful algorithms in a purely functional way. Here I will show a somewhat different use of the state monad: protecting mutable data in such a way that it is guaranteed not to be used incorrectly. I will use I/O as my example because I expect that everyone is familiar with it, but the same method can also be applied to modify mutable Java data structures, such as arrays, in a referentially transparent fashion.
The example I will use is stream-based I/O, based on the java.io library. Writing to such a stream has side-effects, so it is certainly not purely functional. But even reading from a stream is not purely functional: every time you call the read method, you get another return value. A stream object therefore represents mutable state. Passing around such an object among functions in a program makes it difficult to verify that the stream is read or written to properly.
Here is the basic idea of protecting state in the state monad. Suppose that the only way to create your mutable object is through a function that takes a state monad value as its argument. The function creates the object, calls the state monad value on it, and then destroys the object. Client code never obtains a reference to the object, so the only way to act on it is through state monad values that define useful operations on the object (such as "read a line from the stream"). To add another layer of protection, the object is wrapped in a protective data structure (such as a closure) before being passed to the state monad value. Only a well-defined set of state monad values gets the key to access the object, meaning that only those clearly identified operations can act on the object. You can then use those operations, and combine them in the state monad to define more complex operations. But no matter how you try, you will never get a reference to the object that you could assign to a var, pass to some function, or (ab-)use in any other way.
For stream-based I/O, this approach is implemented in the library clojure.contrib.monadic-io-streams. Before trying any of the examples below, you have to evaluate the following form that takes care of importing the libraries:
(ns monadic-io-demo (:refer-clojure :exclude (read-line print println flush)) (:use [clojure.contrib.monadic-io-streams]) (:use [clojure.contrib.monads]))
:refer-clojure clause is necessary because clojure.contrib.monadic-io-streams defines a couple of names that are also defined in clojure.core. In general this is not a good idea, but here the names are the same as those of the Java functions that are being called, which is a useful feature as well. The number of good names for functions is unfortunately not unlimited!
With the bookkeeping done, let's look at a basic application:
(with-reader "my-file.txt" (read-line))
This returns the first line of the text file "my-file.txt". To understand how this works, here is the definition of read-line:
(defn read-line [] (fn [s] [(.readLine (unlock s)) s]))
The call
(read-line) thus returns a state monad value: a function that takes a state argument
s, calls the Java method
readLine on the unlocked state, and returns a vector containing the freshly read line and the state argument. The function unlock is defined locally in a let form and is thus inaccessible from the outside. It retrieves the real state value from the wrapper that only serves to protect it.
Next, we need to look at
(defn with-reader [reader-spec statement] (with-open [r (reader reader-spec)] (first (statement (lock r)))))
The function
reader that it calls comes from clojure.contrib.duck-streams. It creates the stream reader object which is then locked (wrapped inside a closure) and passed to
statement, which happens to be the state monad value returned by
(read-line). The
with-open macro ensures that the reader is closed. The return value of the with-reader function is the first item in the return value of the monadic statement; the second item is the state which is of no interest any more.
There are two levels of protection here: first, the reader object is never made accessible to the outside world. It is created, injected into the monadic statement, and then made invalid by closing it. The only way to get a reference would be write a monadic statement that exposes the state. This is indeed possible, and the statement is even provided under the name
fetch-state in clojure.contrib.monads. The following piece of code returns the state value:
(with-reader "my-file.txt" (fetch-state))
But here the second level of protection takes over: the return value is the locked version of the state, which happens to be a closure. That closure must be called with the right key in order to unlock the state, but the key is not accessible anywhere. Only a handful of functions in clojure.contrib.monadic-io-streams can unlock the state and work on it.
The typical way to do more complex I/O using this monadic approach is to define complex I/O statements by composing the basic I/O statements (
with-reader or
with-writer. That part is necessarily not purely functional: when reading a file, nothing guarantees that the file will be the same every time it is read. But the non-functional part is now localized in a single place, and the complex aspect of I/O, the composition of I/O statements to do the required work, is purely functional.
As I said earlier, the same approach can be applied to working with mutable arrays. There would be function
make-array that takes a monadic array-modifying statement as its argument. This function would create an array, run it through the statement, and return the resulting modified array. The only array-modifying functions would be defined as state monad values. The net result would be a referentially transparent way to create a new array and have it initialized by an arbitrary algorithm. However, once returned from
make-array, the array would be immutable.

My SS likes it when I take it to Big River. Always has a smile after the ride.
Willowdale, Arcadia, Big River.... all foreign to me. I guess I need to get out more.
On a related note. I'm in training all next week in Mansfield, MA (near Foxboro) . Any thoughts on good places for a night romp? Foxboro Park, Borderland ?
I think Landlocked is a great spot for SSing it.

Spent 2 weeks camping in Salisbury this past summer and primarily rode Willowdale. Hooked up with the NS Nemba crew for their Monday Night rides -Thanks Guys! - and cant wait to get back there for more SSS (singlespeedsmiles). Closer to home, I've hit up Abrams Rock in Swansea, which is a hoot to ride with some nice little features to keep your game on.
Arcadia and big river are both in RI. If you're in Mansfield you could get to big river in under an hour, depending on traffic. There is a regular ride Thursdays at 4:30 and 6:00 that leaves from the park and ride at exit 7 off 95. Take a left at the end of the exit and its on the right. All levels welcome.

5 Tips for Taking Your Son to the Ballet
14 comments:
Wow you are daring! I remember my mom tried taking us to the ballet once and we fell asleep lol granted it was 4 kids (though my older siblings were in their early teens) but I'm pretty sure we ended up snoring lolReplyDelete
oh would love to see oscar's drawings! p.s. great idea to kid swap at intermission:)ReplyDelete
- JessicaMarch 7, 2013 at 3:08 PM
it's so shocking that he already absorbed the "girls only" stereotype! but then again I have no idea how we get them into our heads. I'm so glad he liked it though! I think kids have easier times at musicals just because they understand a little more because of the direct dialogue but I think it's great he got to experience that. Idk how well it'd go over for kids, but you should check out the movie First Position, it's on netflix, it follows dancers training for the Youth America Grand Prix and two of the main contestants it focuses on are boys, one pretty dang young lol and one teenager. I think it'd help to see how hard ballet is and that it is a sport, and not just for girls.ReplyDelete
I really like your ideas you come up your job Sharon. I hope your boss appreciates them as much :)ReplyDelete
I already left a comment at E.S. but I'm gonna tell you again that I especially loved the 5th tip. I'd never think of that :)
- AnonymousMarch 7, 2013 at 5:54 PM
how about Owen?ReplyDelete
Anonymous, That was my thought to, why not swap with Owen? Is sitting still not his thing? (My son can sit for about 8 minutes tops and then he's a wild maniac)ReplyDeleteReplies
ha. Yeah, that was a totally mistake on my part. I could have swapped out Owen. I need to change that. I think the reason I didn't think of Owen was because I already promised him to be my date to see Cinderella on Broadway later that week. AND OWEN lasted the whole show!!!Delete
I love this blog post so much! As a former child dancer, I know NYCB, and this ballet in particular, well (I was one of those little girls in the Garland Waltz that you saw in Sleeping Beauty - and if you'd made it through the second act you'd have also seen Little Red Riding Hood, another of my roles!) and now that I am in a stepmom role to two boys I really try to find ways to incorporate the cultural depth of my youth into their lives without getting pushy. They are only 3 and 6 and to my surprise, they mostly get mesmerized by ballet just like they do with Yo Gabba Gabba (which makes sense, I guess, since it's all just people moving to music in the end). I started off easy, with The Nutcracker, and with very short Youtube clips. Then we graduated to the full NYCB Nutcracker movie on DVD. They are obsessed with the mouse king. The 6-year old surprised me by listing the Snow Scene (all adults, no plot advancement, just a beautiful corps de ballet piece) as his favorite and I burst with pride because it's totally my favorite too. After they were a bit familiar with the visuals of what ballet is, I started showing them Youtube clips from other ballets - Giselle, etc.ReplyDelete
We haven't gone to see a ballet in person yet because we just never seem to find the time - it's tough in a shared-custody situation; there is just never enough time. I am waiting until they are both old enough to get something out of it, so that it becomes a group outing rather than a broken-up outing. But one thing you might like to consider if you do it again, is that NYCB does children's workshops before some Saturday matinee performances, for certain kid-friendly shows (story ballets, etc). I think the workshops are about 40 minutes long, and there is story exposition, and they get a little prop, and they learn a step from the ballet and get to jump around and do it. Then you trek across the plaza to the theater and watch the ballet. I haven't tried that yet but I'm keeping it in mind for the future.
Another really great resource for "dance is for men too" lessons is Alvin Ailey's Revelations. It's not classical ballet but it is, IMO, one of the most kid-accessible works out there, and the male choreography in it is both beautiful and impressively strong. The good news is that the Ailey company closes out nearly every performance they do with Revelations, so it's easy to find live if you want to do that down the road. Every time I go, I see lots of parents entering with their kids for the third act only. It's also choreographed to old spiritual songs. I know you guys did some Black History Month crafts earlier and this is another good tie-in to that kind of stuff.
Not sure if I can share links on your blog but here is a really great pas de deux between a man and a woman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CXk1mQVCgI
And here is an older recording that is just a trio of guys, no women at all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-OuqB1pgys
I love that you took your little guy to the ballet! I grew up dancing and LOVE going every month or so to see a production. I talked about seeing Cinderella over at my blog, www.Twentysomethingbows.blogspot.com. :)ReplyDelete
gorgeous photos of you two -what a great wee date!ReplyDelete
I cannot wait to do the same with my 3 year old boy, but he prefers football!ReplyDelete
Pics are great!
I love that experience, it's great to share culture and beauty with our little ones!ReplyDelete
I have tickets to a dance show which is a mix between hip hop and boxing, both the kids and I are intrigued! Then there's a poetic show with horses and then a classic 2-hour play (Cyranno de Bergerac) that I'm taking my 11-year old son to, I can't wait! Ballet is next on my list!
are you ok? haven't heard anything since the one moment please post. Hope you're doing well.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed your blog. It's nice to know that even if he thinks it's only for girls, he enjoyed it. Good for him and you!ReplyDelete

Scotty 2 Hotty
Real Name
Scott Garland
Date of Birth
July 2, 1973
Place of Birth
Michael Moody has passed away. While he's not necessarily a well known name in the world of professional wrestling, many will remember him as being the son of the legendary Paul Bearer. When the company wanted to induct the iconic manager into their hall of fame, WWE enlisted the help of his two sons to do the honors. Moody was 34 years of age and passed away in his sleep.
September 22, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Reports surfaced not too long ago that Bully Ray was leaving TNA, as his contract was set to expire and a new deal could not be reached between the two sides. Apparently, he is going to remain on good terms with management, as the former world heavyweight champion is still being advertised for Bound For Glory 2014. Team 3D is scheduled to be inducted into the hall of fame that evening, but it would not come as a shock if Bully ended up working a match on the pay per view.
August 30, 2014
In the past, Kevin Nash has been pretty adamant about not wanting to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He's even gone as far as to instruct his wife to decline the offer if he were to pass away. It seems like Nash is now softening his stance. He recently stated that he would refuse to be inducted as Diesel, but he did not mention anything about going in under his real name.
August 11, 2014
Some interesting news was recently revealed by Jake Roberts. The master of the DDT told fans that he initially did not want to be inducted during the same night as the Ultimate Warrior, as the two of them have had a longstanding backstage heat. Roberts also stated that he was going to avoid Warrior at the hall of fame ceremony. However, both sides decided to make up with one another instead.
August 3, 2014
With the company losing millions of dollars this year, budget cuts are looming over everyone in WWE. The latest string of them has made a casualty out of a beloved hall of fame performer. Ricky Steamboat has quietly been released from his contract. The former Intercontinental Champion had been working in the talent relations department under Triple H over the past year.
July 19, 2014
A black eye usually is not something to be proud of. It is, however, when you're a lifelong wrestling fan being punched by one of the greatest performers that the industry has ever seen. Bray Wyatt received a black eye during a big live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weeken due to an errant punch by Ric Flair. Reports are stating that the incident happened because Flair forgot that he was wearing his hall of fame ring. There is said to be no backstage heat between the two due to the injury.
July 14, 2014
Since leaving WWE earlier in the year, CM Punk has remained relatively quiet, making sporadic appearances at NHL and MLB games. The former world heavyweight champion is going to be making a higher profile appearance later on this month. Punk will be the co-host of the kickoff show for the Alternative Press Music Awards, which is being held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
July 9, 2014
After announcing his retirement from UFC, Chael Sonnen posted a quote on his Twitter account that stated, "Bad times don't last, but bad guys do." The comment caught the attention of Scott Hall, who proceeded to criticize Sonnen for stealing the line that he made while being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This appears to be a misunderstanding as Sonnen is a big fan of wrestling and has used several quotes over the years.
June 22, 2014
When TNA announced at Slammiversary 2014 that Devon and Bully Ray were going to be inducted into the hall of fame, it led to a lot of speculation about the status of Devon with the company. It looks like the former television champion is making a return to TNA, as his profile has been restored on the official roster page on their website.
June 17, 2014
Since he is easily one of the biggest stars that professional wrestling ever produced, the Rock remains the top choice for WWE when it comes to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Wrestlemania 31. However, the company has now focused on Sting as a potential candidate to take the top spot in the class next year in case they are unable to convince Rock to participate in the event.
June 17, 2014
Thus far, the TNA Hall of Fame consists of Sting and Kurt Angle, two of the more prolific performers in the history of the industry. A third member is set to join them. At Slammiversary 2014, Angle will be on hand to announce who the latest inductee will be. No official word on who the third person was going to be, but there are heavy rumors that Jeff Jarrett could be inducted as part of his departure agreement with TNA.
June 11, 2014
Today is a sad one for professional wrestling fans. It marks the third year anniversary of the death of Randy Savage, one of the biggest legends in WWE history. The former Intercontinental Champion passed away after suffering a heart attack and crashing into a tree while driving. Much like before his death, fans have been begging WWE to induct him into the hall of fame.
May 20, 2014
"They try to make that hall of fame leigtimate, but if you'll notice, to me, it's politically driven. A dead giveaway is Hunter wanting all of his little buddies, his little circle first. He's taken care of all of them." - Bob Holly suggesting that backstage politics plays a big part in the WWE Hall of Fame
May 19, 2014
Earlier this month, rumors surfaced that Mickie James and Rikishi were candidates to join the Rock at the hall of fame induction ceremony during Wrestlemania 31. Another name that WWE has reportedly been discussing is Kevin Nash, even though the former world heavyweight champion has been vocally against being inducted.
May 17, 2014
Another interesting name that has surfaced in the rumor mill as a potential hall of fame inductee at Wrestlemania 31 is Rikishi. The belief is that including him in the same class as the Rock, whom WWE is hoping will be the centerpiece induction at the event, makes a lot of sense. There is also the chance that a reconciliation and reunion with Naomi Knight and Jimmy Uso could be a big story.
May 14, 2014
Since the company has already given the honors to Lita and Trish Stratus, two of the more known WWE Divas over the last two decades, management is said to be looking for another female performer to induct into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 31. A name being tossed around right now is Mickie James, who is currently pregnant but should be available by next spring.
May 14, 2014
When he is not inducting his good friend into the WWE Hall of Fame, Kevin Nash does a little bit of work as an actor. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he has a small part in an upcoming movie with Keanu Reeves. It is called John Wick. Reeves plays the lead role as a highly qualified hit man who ends up killing more than 300 people in the film.
May 2, 2014
A picture of Brad Maddox and WWE hall of fame inductee Mr T backstage during Wrestlemania 30 week.
April 29, 2014
"He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember Wrestlemania 6 where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent." - Chris Jericho on Ultimate Warrior as a performer
April 29, 2014
"You know what's so cool wrestling for them now? When you're there as a full-time guy and you're wrestling four nights a week, you kind of take it for granted. Everything is going 100 miles an hour. Whereas now, like when I went back for 'Old School' Raw, you go this could be the last time. And you kind of appreciate it more. You take it all in. And then same thing for NXT. This could be the last time I'm in a WWE ring. Hopefully it's not and chances are it's not going to be because I'm still in decent shape and relatively young. I'm sure there'll be more coming down the road but you say that to yourself and appreciate it." - Scotty 2 Hotty talks about WWE return
March 22, 2014
There are talks backstage that Heath Slater has grown really frustrated with his role in WWE. He has only had one televised win since November of 2013. He has also been utilized just once on Monday Night Raw this year, teaming with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre in a losing effort to guest stars Rikishi, Brian Christopher and Scotty 2 Hotty.

Over the last two weeks, Scotty 2 Hotty has been seen quite often with the developmental stars of WWE NXT, and it has now been revealed that he was officially under a short term contract as a trainer. He is now done with his stint, but there is no word yet on whether or not he will be brought on board full time as a trainer for WWE.
February 16, 2014
Scotty 2 Hotty spent some town down in WWE NXT this weekend, where the veteran performer made an appearance and helped to train some of the developmental wrestlers at the WWE Performance Center. He also posed for this picture with Bayley and posted it on Twitter.

One of the individuals that WWE was most impressed with during the Old School Raw episode was Scotty 2 Hotty. He stayed in really good physical condition and was still able to work a very solid match. Scotty even nailed his trademark Worm move well.
January 9, 2014
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.

This sultry Asian blossom has the most unique set of measurements we've ever seen!
An exotically beautiful model, she was a famous Japanese pinup idol and popular motor sports pit girl before making her debut in adult cinema. With proportions like hers - and big, deep brown eyes like that - it's easy to see why she became such a huge celebrity while still so young.
If you looked you would probably find her photograph on garage walls all over Tokyo prefecture, but it's easier to see them right here, and right now.
In inches she's 34-21-34. With those kinds of numbers, Cocomi truly stands out in a crowd.
|wheeler United States
my kinda trouble!
|stever United Kingdom
nice I love that jet black, straight, spiky pubic hair that Japanese girls have. Wish they had gone all the way with the tribbing though. Anyway, how about a good tribbing session on video?!!
|Sledge Germany
Hair I sure don't like the hair style .... rest is quite delicous.
|Laurie United Kingdom
Stylishly Chic The decadence is breathtaking and my cock is achingly robust, my juices, sticky sweet and pleasantly exquisite...
|Laurie United Kingdom
A Work of Arse The aesthetic curves of Mayuko's arse are indescribably ravishing and stir irresistible sexual feelings. Extraordinary girls...
|don United States
2 hairy that i never saw??????
|Wolf-Martin Germany
Sakura and Mayumi I find it sexier, when the two models not look constantlyto the camera(man), but to eachother!
|Nav United States
Again with the bush (sorry); if Cocomi shaved that she would be perfect.
|wheeler United States
sexy as ever!!! with more sexy acrobatics!!! hehehe
|B United States
She is hot. Perfect bush.
|Roger United States
I'm with B: perfect bush!
|James Michaels United States
Cocomi Cocomi is clearly one of the most beautiful women on this site and with one of the most sensational bodies. I look forward to the day when she teases us by being a bit nasty.
|jeff Bell United States
RE: shave it!!! I know theres been a push to bring "bush" back. Theres a reason it went in the first place. Nothing more beautiful than the bare skin of beautiful fruits staring you in the face :))
|CRAZYOWL United States
Love the bush! I don't understand the obsession of shaved, the bush completes the woman, shaved is a turn off.
|Laurie United Kingdom
Brilliant by any Definition These stunning oriental girls enhanced this site to new levels of female beauty and eroticism, They make most of the regular models look wan and quite ordinary, Valerie, being a striking exception. Cocomi is just astonishing, absolutely breathtaking, the imagery exceptional...
|Rez United States
beauty at it's best I love the occidental women. Cocomi is the example of a perfect face and body and starting with clothes then to naked except for boots works for me. What a wonderful sexy presentation. I want to see more of her.
|wheeler United States
I'm LOVIN' all the acrobatics of late! Of course, Cocomi is stunning in any way, shape, or form!
|Chaz United States
Beautiful girl...has more curves than the Pacific Coast Highway. It would have been nice to see more of them closer up...but then again, it would probably be hazardous to my health.
|KOMET United States
COCOMI AU NATUREL = YUMMY! Even with the short, black boots on, COCOMI is the kind of woman who'll inspire a well-spring of the hottest, most explosive erotic fantasies.
|B United States
GREAT GREAT set. She is so hot my computer fogged up.
|tintero United States
what a beautiful body!!! HOT HOT HOT!
|James Michaels United States
Yummy If Luba's breasts, the most sensational of my lifetime, are an 11, then Cocomi's breasts are a 9 for sure. And that long waist, awesome ribcage and tummy just add to the package. Yummy is an understatement.
|S United States
I wish this Japanese girls would shave.
|Laurie United Kingdom
Sublime Where are these magnificent oriental creatures now Hegre. Cocomi is simply astonishing, her breasts and nipples are utterly irresistible, the imagery a compliment to this achingly gorgeous girl. There are no caucasian girls on this site who are in the same class as this stunner...
|Farnorth2 Australia
Love the bush Love the natural look, no shaving, so much more interesting
|Rob United Kingdom
"Hegre-Art is brought to you by a generous grant from the Japanese Tourism Agency" he he - just kidding. I love it Petter. keep it up!
|Zeppelin Germany
Just two shaves short of 'I love it'.
|KOMET United States
COCOMI & MAYUKO: BEAUTY PERSONIFIED This is a delightful photo series. Both women are blessed with lovely curves, seductive eyes, pert breasts, and luxuriant thatches of pubic fur. (Some members of the site, it is clear, have an aversion to pubic fur on women, no matter are sparse it may be. They can't be content with the fact that a vast majority of the women on this site are always shaved.) COCOMI et MAYUKO ARE SOOO SEXY WITH THEIR PUBIC FUR. VIVA!!!
|Fred N. United States
Very Hot but still no close-ups of Bearded Clam Suschi! These women are beautiful! The pubic hair of Asian (oriental) women is spectacular and sets them apart from the shaven european masses. Get over it those who want everything shaved. I still wish that there were at least three or four close-up pictures of the womens vulva (labia) too.
|Penthe Switzerland
Cocomi Sakura and Mayuko Tokyo twins Very nice pictures of awesome Girls. But, no photos in full view? Why do they have this nice boots on, when you don`t show them. Too cold in the studio for the models? ;-) Keep up your excellent work, but also with a variety of angels...
|wheeler United States
Smokin hot!! A nice couple of little kissy teases in here! those last five pics looked dangerous!
|JuiceAssessor United States
Are those... are those mirkens?
|d1mobetaman United States
Cocomi Sakura and Mayuko Tokyo twins It sure would be more gratifying if you'd take pictures of your Lez shoots with one on the other from the rear legs wide open. Or front on Breast to Breast.
|Rick Australia
Wow Mauuko has to be one of the best on the site!
|Laurie United Kingdom
Achingly Sensual Dream like scenes which have the radiance of Murakami's eloquent prose. These beautiful girls are irresistibly fascinating, emotionally engaging and leave me weak-kneed with desire. Caucasian girls pale in comparison...
|charles_71 Germany
cocomi Wunderfull - a nice girl ...!
|Little 15 United Kingdom
All these Asian girls are sexy apart from the bush. Lose the undergrowth & they look much sexier.
|wheeler United States
This week has been made for me!!!Always had a "thing" for asian girls!Although, I'm kinda hoping for a part two to this one! kinda seems unfinished! Happy New Year, Petter!
|Pete United Kingdom
Cocomi Great addition to the Hegre family but like all far eastern models the challenge Petter is to get them to shave!
|Rob United Kingdom
Love the current Asian theme. Really excellent. But what is it with all these anti-pubic hair types!?? A bit of bush is extremely erotic. After all, it is how God made these lovely ladies...
|Bleucat United States
Cocomi's Asian Paradise Petter, your tour of Japan has certainly yeilded a variety of very delectable treats! Thus far, most have been 'appetizers',...offered to acquaint a traveler's palate to the pungent tastes and spices of the Far East. COCOMI's pubic hair (and its unique features) is one such example of the erotic indulgence in 'foreplay'...and oral stimulation depicted in classical Japanese art.- The GEISHA, the SCHOOL-GIRL, the GODDESS, and yes...the PORNSTAR- all have their place in the erotic palaces, temples, schools, and offices of Japan. KUDOS to you Petter, for taking us on an extended tour thru "the rooms behind" the pop-culture of Japan...I'm 'licking-my-whiskers' for more - Happy New Year!!!
|Bleucat United States
Classic Models I must agree with Rob...just as every American 'classic' car (Chrysler, Chevy, or Ford) exhibits its own unique grille...I'd much prefer Hegre's Japanese models (Geisha, Goddess, School-Girl, or Pornstar) to display their grille's own exquisitely unique ~orientation~..."Vivre la difference!"
|wheeler United States
RE: Rob agreed!!!
|KOMET United States
Enter COCOMI SAKURA I am delighted to see another lovely Asian woman on this site. Unlike some whom subscribe to this site, I am not in favor of the European fashion which dictates that women should shave their pubic hair. Au contraire, it is very sexy indeed to behold women with a FULL & LUXURIANT PATCH OF FUR between their legs. My hope is that in 2011, more models with furry pubic hair are featured on this site.
|Zeppelin Germany
Dear Rob God makes lovely ladies grow leg-hair, get pregnant at 13 and loose their teeth at age 20. Everything else is man-made.
|Martin H United Kingdom
Agree with Rob and others about the hair. Wonderful to see a natural thatch. But oh my, what a fabulous figure she has!! Man, that hip-to-waist ratio is astonishing. Please let's see MUCH more of her! Adorable.
|alterwolf Germany
BETR:Rob/ Cocomi Sakura Fully agreed to the statement "a bit of bush is extremely erotic . . .". Could be plenty of bush, too!
|RodgerBadger United Kingdom
Very Nice! Very nice! Thank you :)
|DanDen Canada
Respect!!! Fully satisfy with the japan connection. I'm a big japan AV fan and I'm so surprised to see thoses models here after I signed up for the first time less than one month ago! What a showcase for the most beautiful women on earth!!!
|John Spain
I want to see those nipples closer...
|drew United Kingdom
speechless........ Well done Peter and Cocomi as well of course. I have just found the reason that I joined your site! She is beautiful, exquisite, delightful - edible! Your camera work, as ever, amplifies all those features!
|ESE United States
WOW Great look, sexy and hot! More!
|dgt99x United States
Cocomi Sakura Lovely indeed! Please show us more, including lower legs and feet.
|SE Austria
桜ここみ What a beautiful woman. Please more of her
|Mickymouse United States
great nipples Please spend more time with the nipples. Especially if they are such a wonderful feature of the breast. Why not give them some emphasis?

Getting to Know Your iPhone 5: How to Listen to Songs in the Music App no comments
Apple is known to be one of the innovative brands when it comes to creating gadgets that will make listening to music very enjoyable to everyone. Their iPod series is a clear proof of how they dominate this sector of the industry. It is no surprise, therefore, that they will bring the same technology in their smartphones. The iPhone 5 comes with a built-in music app that is aptly called Music. Although most people are tempted to download third party apps for their music-listening needs, this built-in app is actually enough to satisfy anyone's ears. It comes with various options and setting controls that will let you play your music files just the way you like them. If you are not yet familiar with this iPhone app, especially if you came from using a different OS, here is how you can listen to songs in your iPhone 5.
The Music app is like most any other music playing application. On the main interface are the usual buttons, namely:
- Backward/Forward Button – this will let you move on to the next song on your list or back to the previous one.
- Play/Pause Button – touch this if you want to start or pause the playback.
- Volume Bar – this bar is found at the bottom part of the screen. You simply have to drag it to the left or right to control the volume.
Aside from these common buttons, you will also see the progress bar, which shows how far along the track the song has played. You can drag this if you want to skip some parts of the song.
At the bottom left corner of the interface, you will find the Repeat button. If you turn this on, the app will repeatedly play the songs in your playlist. There are various options here. You can simply repeat a specific song or repeat the whole album.
The Shuffle button is also a favorite option of some. Turning this on will shuffle the order of songs in your playlist or library. Playing songs in random brings that element of surprise to the listener.
To choose the songs that you want to play, just tap the music library button located at the top-left portion of the screen. You may also use the button at the top-right portion if you want to check the other songs in the album from where the current song came from.
Finally, there is the Create button. This will let you create playlists based on genre or artist. If you need more songs in your playlist, just connect to iTunes straight from the Music app to get more songs from your favorite artists.

Just last week, we were talking about the lack of docking stations designed for the latest iOS devices. What a difference a week makes.
Bose just announced its SoundDock Series III system, which is the company's latest digital music system—and the first for use with the iPhone 5 and other devices with a Lightning connector.
As with most Bose products, not much is known about the inside of this device. Bose just says that it includes "proprietary acoustic design and digital signal processing." We do know that it can charge any docked device, but also has an auxiliary input for those times when you want to tether a non-Lightning device.
For easy control, the SoundDock Series III comes packing a remote that can tap into the basic functions of the iPod or iPhone, as well as switch back and forth between playlists.
Bose is selling the SoundDock Series III system now, with an MSRP of $249.95.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

In February 2011, a devastating earthquake struck New Zealand's second-largest city of Christchurch, located in the country's Canterbury region. Tragically, the earthquake killed 181 people, while also causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure already weakened by a previous quake in 2010. The cost of the damage from the earthquake and aftershocks has been estimated at around NZ$40 billion, making it New Zealand's costliest natural disaster ever.
In the immediate aftermath, PwC New Zealand was engaged by the newly-formed Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) to lead and coordinate the recovery efforts. This role has seen us undertake a wide variety of work for many organisations across Canterbury, with our Christchurch office receiving active and enthusiastic support from most of our other offices throughout New Zealand.
We began by seconding two directors to CERA itself to help set the organisation up – a move that helped us gain insights into the challenges ahead. This work included advising on a financial blueprint, investor engagement and the business cases for anchor projects, one of which is a new Convention Centre in Christchurch.
We also acted as financial advisors on land acquisitions, developed joint risk management frameworks, and helped with a proposal to the Commerce Commission for an increase in electricity line charges to cover repairs to the power network.
Restoring public transport was a key priority after the earthquake, and this was another area in which we were involved, providing a due diligence report on the landscape of Christchurch including public transport planning. We developed a dedicated Christchurch Rebuild page on the PwC website, focusing on the risks for companies associated with the reconstruction efforts. We also engaged with construction firms involved in the work, as well as providing ongoing support to businesses dealing with business interruption claims. Insurance assessments were a further focus, and we developed proposals to reduce the risks of fraud.
"The rebuild is clearly an emotional and sensitive time for the people of Christchurch – and we've done our best to make the project run as smoothly as possible, by providing resources from across our offices and sharing our expertise with a wide array of businesses", says Wayne Munn, PwC New Zealand partner responsible for the Christchurch office.
"We've also helped with the governance of the anchor projects. Most of these are currently underway, but we've recently been awarded roles as advisors to the Transport Interchange design-build contract (DBC) and Stage 2 of the Convention Centre DBC."

The Des Moines Municipal Housing Agency (DMMHA) owns and manages Public Housing units for eligible low- and moderate-income families and individuals. All of these rental units are located within the city limits of Des Moines.
The Public Housing program consists of rental units, within the City of Des Moines, owned and managed by the Department of Housing Services. Upon acceptance of a unit, participants enter into a lease agreement with the Department of Housing Services and pay approximately 30% of their monthly adjusted income for rent. A full-time Service Coordinator is available at our five manors to ensure that residents have access to support services necessary for them to live independently. The five manors consist of 390 units. The manors are Royal View Manor (singles, elderly, disabled), East View Manor (elderly only), Southview Manor (elderly only), Highland Park Plaza (elderly only), and Oak Park Plaza (elderly only).

Approximately 3,200 households are served through Section 8 programs. The DMMHA administers the Section 8 program throughout Polk County. Participants in the Section 8 program pay 30-40% of the household's monthly adjusted gross income toward their housing expenses.
Eligible applicants for Section 8 program are given a Housing Choice Voucher and 60 days to find an approved rental unit. The Section 8 program provides rental assistance to participants who want to rent from a private landlord. Participants may choose the type of housing they wish to rent. Prior to being placed under the program and at least annually thereafter each unit must pass a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection to ensure that the unit is a safe and decent place to live.

Britten's Blake cycle returns in places to the dark intensity of his much earlier Blake setting, 'The Sick Rose' ('Elegy') from the Serenade for tenor, horn and strings of 1943. Both the fully chromatic melody and striking image of cankerous corruption in the earlier song look directly ahead to the Songs and Proverbs—which are based on texts drawn from Blake's Songs of Experience (1794), in which 'The Sick Rose' is also to be found. With the addition of one poem from the Songs of Innocence (1789) and several epigrams from the undated Proverbs of Hell, Britten created a continuous structure in which the Proverbs are set to recurrent but constantly reworked ritornello material, a structural plan familiar from other Britten works of the late 1950s and early 1960s (principally the orchestral song-cycle Nocturne, the opera A Midsummer Night's Dream and the Cantata Misericordium). These stark Proverbs are clearly distinguished from the songs they punctuate by their disconcerting lack of metrical synchronization between voice and piano—a feature retained from the Church Parable Curlew River, composed in the previous year—and they also make limited use of twelve-note techniques.
As so often in Britten's later music, the tension between luminous diatonicism and elusive chromaticism is exploited throughout the cycle as a potent symbol for the conflict between innocence and experience at the heart of Blake's poetry. The settings of 'London' and 'Every Night and every Morn' that frame the cycle are closely related in their ambiguous and subtly disturbing chromaticism, while greater tonal simplicity is reserved for natural scenes: the bright glow of 'The Tyger' and the lament for 'The Fly'. Moments of tremendous rhetorical power are strategically located in 'A Poison Tree' and 'Ah, Sun-flower'. 'A Poison Tree' features a highly original use of simple major and minor triads within a context of chromatic saturation. The young Britten had previously set this same Blake text to music on 2 March 1935; the earlier song remained unperformed until 1986. As in the opera The Turn of the Screw (1954), the intense chromaticism of the mature treatment of this gripping text serves as a graphic symbol of cankerous evil, and forms the utterly chilling core of the cycle.

Love it!
I never write reviews but feel compelled after reading the previous poster. I had a heavy cotton terry robe and I HATED it. I felt like a beast of burden when I wore it. This robe is incredibly warm and luxurious without weighing me down. The other robe is going to Goodwill!

Cool Robe
This is a cool robe. The decorative stitching and the hood are unique. The fabric is far lighter than the description would suggest. It is a light fleece robe. I live in the northern climes and was hoping for a winter robe... It is not. Thus the pricing to me is significantly out of line for the actual perceived quality of the robe. With those factors considered I did keep the robe because I like it, but you should have this info to consider...
