Take a look at a screenshot from a really nice Savanna Samson anal scene, from a cool adult website, called Vivid.com. Blonde milf is all about everyday pussy fucking, but there are times like this one, when she just can't resist the temptation, and wants to get penetrated, right into her tiny butt.
I am sure there is quite a lot of Savanna Samson interracial scenes out there on the Internet, but we went ahead and picked this one, just because it is really nice. Blonde milf gets down on her knees in front of her stimulated penis, and keeps sucking on his erect penis, all the way to the point when it is hard and ready, to penetrate her tiny cunt.
Two hard cocks are way better than just one
This time a picture from a really nice Savanna Samson gangbang scene, directly from one of my favorite xxx websites, called Vivid.com. Blonde milf gets on the top of her stimulated partner, and keeps riding on his erect penis, all the way to the point when it is ready, to ejaculate his load of semen, right into her sexy cunt.
Sexy pussy sprinkled with a huge load of cum
When one erect penis is just not enough
Even though there is not a whole lot of Savanna Samson dp scenes out there on the Internet, we managed to find this one, and it is actually really nice. Blonde milf is all about everyday pussy fucking, but there are times like this one, when she gets really horny, and one stimulated partner, is just not enough.
One of the hottest models in all porn
Savanna Samson having fun with a hung stud which she met at a party
After she has some really good time at a party with that horny lucky boy, the blonde babe took him at her house and started to suck his cock as a reward for the good time that he showed to her. Now it's time to show her a good time in her bedroom and if he performs well, he will have the best BJ of his live at the end.
When a juicy pussy is fingered long enough the moans will become screams
The luscious babe who is playing with her pussy in this image is now having a great orgasm on her own and she is going to start squirting soon. Her little cunt is always wet and if there is no one to fuck her really good, she starts to finger her moist pussy until her sweet moans become loud and wild screams.
Kinky MILF fingering her wet snach
When a MILF's cunt is asking for an orgasm, that cunt must have an orgasm as soon as possible.
When she is not with her younger lesbian friends who are willing to lick her until she squirts, this slut must finger her snach.
She was so horny that she couldn't wait to get completely naked and she started to play with herself right on the floor.
Savanna Samson is one of the sexiest models in porn, and she loves to get on the top of her man, and suck his erect cock like a lollipop. For more pictures and videos like this one, head straight to Porn.com, which is one of the best porn websites on the Internet.

Chicago Bears Look To Bring The Heat In Windy City Matchup Against Carolina Panthers
They say there are no moral victories when you have a losing record. but for the Panthers, getting a win against the Bears may not be as important as how they play. Chicago has the top rated defense and the 8th best offense – a lethal combination for anyone – so Carolina needs to keep it close and let the chips fall where they may.

As a longtime Santa Claus at a suburban Chicago mall, Rod Riemersma used to jokingly tell children they would get socks for Christmas if they were naughty.
This year, he stopped telling the joke. Too many children are asking for socks.
"They've probably heard their parents say, 'Geez, I wish I had some money to get them clothes,'" says the 56-year-old Riemersma.
A wintry measure of hard times can be found this holiday season on the knees of white-bearded, red-suited men around the country. A couple of years ago, children were shooting for the moon, asking St. Nick for Xboxes, iPods and laptops. But with the economy still fragile, many children are requesting basics such as shoes, library cards and even eyeglasses, say dozens of Santas who work at malls or on the party circuit.
"Kids will hear the E-word, but it's not Elmo," says Tim Connaghan, who runs a Los Angeles Santa-training school. "It's the economy."
The extent to which money woes are weighing on children is clear from the letters flooding into North Pole, Alaska. That's the home of the Santa Claus House, a Christmas-themed shop where parents can order letters from Santa with a North Pole postmark. It gets tens of thousands of letters to Santa every year. Operations manager Paul Brown says the messages not only predict the holiday's hottest toys months in advance but also gauge the mood of the nation.
"When we had the housing crunch, we saw 'Please help us stay in our house,'" Brown says of the letters, which are forwarded to a nonprofit that works with charities in the children's hometowns. "This year, it's more job-related."
Video: 3 tips for donating to charities
The Kriss Kringles of America are doing their best to help children cope. Anticipating a deluge of recession-related questions, Connaghan in November sent advice to his e-mail network of 1,800 Santas.
The tips included telling worried children that "things will get better" and asking if Santa could "bring a surprise," instead of promising specific gifts. The job of a Santa "is to make the child feel better," he counseled. He suggested that Santas refer children to local charities to find Christmas gifts.
That's what Jim Lewis did. A Santa at a Bass Pro Shop outdoor-goods store in Denver, he blanched when a blond girl in a red plaid dress recently asked for a pair of eyeglasses so she could see the classroom board. He recovered in time to motion over one of his elves, who told the girl's mother about the local Lions Club, which helps provide needy children with prescription glasses.
"It would be wonderful if we could grant more wishes like that, but unfortunately, this is the exception to the rule," says the 60-year-old Lewis, a real-estate appraiser when he takes off the Santa suit.Sometimes even the best training can't keep Santa from being caught off guard. Mike Smith, who works as Santa at the Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus, Ohio, says a 5-year-old girl wearing a Dora the Explorer sweat shirt last month hopped in his lap and asked, "Can you turn my daddy into an elf?" "Why?" he asked.
"Because my daddy's out of work, and we're about to lose our house," she said.
The girl's mother, standing by her little brother's stroller, burst into tears. A stunned Smith asked the girl if her father was good with a hammer, and the girl said yes. "I didn't know what to say after that, so we just took the picture," he says with regret.
Santa as economic indicatorSantas aren't precise economic indicators, of course. Government data out Dec. 11 showed that retail sales inched up in November from October. And not every Kringle is reporting a difference in what children are requesting this year. Many of the 40-some Santas interviewed for this article say they work with affluent children whose requests are as bold as ever.
Kelly Crais, who plays Santa in the New Orleans area, says the children he sees at some parties still ask for a PlayStation 3, which starts at $299, and other wallet-busting gifts. But the children he sees for free at his local Harrah's Hotel & Casino have downgraded their lists from previous years. One 7-year-old boy recently asked for shoes. "Do you want Air Jordans?" Crais asked.
The boy responded, "No, school shoes. My shoes have holes in them."
Crais, a 67-year-old retired commercial artist, called over his photographer, who told the boy's mother about local charities.
So, the younger Portillo says, "Now all I want is a bike rack." His parents got one for him on Craigslist, where they say they are scrounging for secondhand gifts this year.
Even some parents are sharing their worries with Santa. Loren Smith, a 56-year-old talent agent who works as Santa at Sea World in San Diego, says he often leans over to mothers and says, "You haven't talked to Santa for a good long time. What do you want for Christmas?"
"I'd just like to get my job back," responded one woman last week. The woman said she lost her airline management job, and the two talked about the economy for a few minutes. "I stepped out of character," Smith says. "I don't do that very often."
"Oh, no, I haven't sat on a man's lap in years," the woman said, before she reluctantly climbed on. But after a moment, she grinned at him and said, "But guess what, Santa. I still like it."
This article was reported by Stu Woo for The Wall Street Journal.

Tucked away at the Red Dragon Casino is an old-fashioned pub perfect for catching the game or recharging your firebreath reserves. Lined with high-definition televisions, the Dragon Zone Sports Bar & Grill matches its gourmet-level eats with hand-crafted microbrews such as Elysian IPA and specialty drinks such as a fruit-filled Seattle Mojo. During dinner, sports fans can tuck into American classics such as rib eye steaks and the signature mac 'n' cheese or Asian-inspired entrees such as the Mongolian beef bowl or spicy chili chicken.

Jay Offutt, owner of the Dance Experience, has been providing the Seattle Dance Community with social dance classes and individual instruction for over 30 years.
Our staff are energetic and excited about dancing. Our dance courses build upon the previous week's dance curriculum and then gradually add new material.
The Loft Cafe and Social Lounge marries the rustic beauty of lodge-like architecture with a modern menu of Pacific Northwest and Mediterranean flavors that change periodically. Their executive chef has crafted a catalog of small and large plates that pair regional seafood, such as pan-seared Alaskan halibut and bay scallops, with basil-pesto sauce and roasted red peppers in garlic cream. Large parties can even request a custom menu for their festivities, instead of piling their entrees into the shape of a birthday cake.
The chef dispatches all meals to two floors, where shadows cast by hanging lights and chandeliers play across wooden ceiling grids. He also sends meals out to the courtyard, where towering heat lamps warm hands grasping coconut mojitos—one of the eatery's many handcrafted cocktails. During happy hour, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. every day, guests take advantage of the lower cocktail prices and snack on spicy pancetta prawns and dungeness-crab croquettes.
Numbered balls ricochet across the green-felted pool tables at Olympic Billiards during regular open-play sessions and tournaments, their clacks creating a subtle rhythmic soundtrack. When not aiming pool cues or hiring a sheepdog to corral every ball except the eight ball, patrons can test their accuracy at dartboards and their timing at air-hockey tables. While playing, they sip on cocktails such as the incredible hulk, surfer on acid, or oatmeal cookie shot, or choose from 12 domestic, imported, and craft beers on tap. On the food menu, traditional pub bites mingle with Asian dishes such as gyoza, egg rolls, and spicy ramyun noodles.
The chatter that comes from friendly competition has a certain characteristic sound. That pleasant rumble often fills MVP's, where patrons might be battling their way through Halo 4, Tomb Raider, or one of 30 other Xbox 360 Games. Though it is an unorthodox sports bar, it is a sports bar nonetheless, so TVs will still be broadcasting all manner of athletic competitions, from football and baseball games to F1 racing and UFC matches. Netflix on personal Xbox consoles and monitors at tables emphasize that this isn't a typical watering hole, as does the menu, which includes churros with strawberries and drinks with names like "Zombie Killer." Those drinks pour freely during happy hour as well as events that include board-game nights and Super Smash Bros. tournaments.

- You can only have one of the two at a time. Each time a Pokémon is sent to the Pokéwalker one Pokémon from each group is chosen at random, and that one can be encountered while the other cannot. If you are selecting the "Recieve a gift" option to transfer the caught Pokémon over then it doesn't change that. Because of that the "Rare" and "Very Common" are describing their rarity relative to the other groups when they are present, rather than their overall rarity. Is that what you are meaning?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Farm-state lawmakers are pushing for final House passage of the massive, five-year farm bill -- member by member, vote by vote.
There are goodies scattered throughout the bill for members from both parties and all regions as the bill heads to the House floor Wednesday.
There's a boost in money for crop insurance popular in the Midwest, higher cotton and rice subsidies for Southern farmers, and a renewal of federal land payments for Western states. Cuts to the food stamp program may satisfy Republicans who say the program is spending too much money, but the cuts are low enough that some Democrats will support them.
House passage of the farm bill isn't certain. Farm-state lawmakers have been working for more than two years to get the massive bill passed

Joel Quenneville says hiring assistant 'will get done soon'
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com June 22, 2012 9:28PM
Updated: July 24, 2012 9:54AM
PITTSBURGH — Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville still is looking for the right running mate on the bench. But he'll decide soon enough who'll replace fired assistant coach Mike Haviland.
"It's progressing," Quenneville said of the search. "We're still not there yet. But it will get done soon. I've talked to a few guys. There's a lot of guys interested. There's a long list. It's amazing how many guys are outstanding candidates."
Quenneville declined to name anyone in contention, but he said he isn't looking for a coach who specializes in one area, such as the power play. The Hawks were awful with the man advantage last season, and that was a major point of contention, with Haviland turning into the scapegoat.
"We'll share a lot of the responsibilities," Quenneville said of the hire.
Quenneville opted to keep Mike Kitchen over Haviland, a move Hawks brass supported.
"It's Quenneville's call," owner Rocky Wirtz told the Sun-Times. "He has to get his team together, and that's his call, so I don't think it was anything personally. [The assistant] has to work with Joel, so that's Joel's call."
More on Kane
Quenneville didn't have much to say about Patrick Kane's now infamous run in Madison, Wis., in May. But Quenneville, who expects to see Kane at the Hawks convention or sooner, said it's important to be professional.
"Organizationally, there is some pride and there's some history there and we should all make sure we watch how we handle ourselves," he said. "There's a lot of scrutiny and a lot of attention that these guys are under. [But] let's progress in a positive way and learn from it."

SANAA, Yemen (AP) - Yemeni officials say a large explosion has
killed three security personnel in the southern port city of Aden.
The blast was heard throughout the city, where a large
anti-government demonstration was taking place Friday.
A medic and a security official say the cause of the explosion
in the free trade area of the city is not yet known. They spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to
Residents of Aden say the military recently removed checkpoints
at the city's entrances, raising fears that Islamic militants who
have seized nearby towns could attempt a takeover of the strategic
port city.
The U.S. fears months of political turmoil in Yemen will give
al-Qaida's franchise in the country more room to operate freely.

The foundation for the Mughal empire was established around the early 1500s by the Timurid prince Babur, a descendant of Genghis Khan and Timur, when he took control of Doab and eastern regions of Khorasan controlling the fertile Sindh region and the lower valley of the Indus River.[3] In 1526, Babur defeated the last of the Delhi Sultans, Ibrahim Shah Lodi, at the First Battle of Panipat. Babur was invited to invade the Delhi Sultanate by Rana Sanga, who thought after defeating Ibrahim Lodhi, Babur would go back and he would become Ruler of Delhi.[4] To secure his newly founded kingdom, Babur then had to face the Rajput confederacy led by Rana Sanga of Chittor, at the battle of Khanwa. These early military successes of the Mughals, achieved by an army much smaller than its opponents, have been attributed to their cohesion, mobility, horse-mounted archers, and use of artillery.[5]Answered by pratima sharma, 31 Jul '08 04:09 pm

Firing of Cleveland Detective Upheld
A judge has upheld the firing of former Cleveland, Tenn., police detective Duff Brumley last year.
Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge W. Neil Thomas, acting as special judge in the case, said Cleveland City Manager Janice Casteel had adequate evidence to uphold Brumley's termination in August 2010.
Brumley had called the firing arbitrary and capricious, but Thomas ruled Nov. 29 that the record showed testimony supported the charges that led to his removal.
It was at a Nov. 17 hearing in the Brumley case that a witness said Cleveland police brass had heard of possible immoral and illegal conduct among some officers, including sex with underage girls, snorting crushed hydrocodone pills, porn on city cellphones and other offenses.
Cleveland police have said there was "no proof" that officers in 2008 were abusing prescription pills and having sex with underage girls before an investigation began late in the year.
But police department records show that one of the Cleveland officers now serving a prison term for two statutory rapes in 2008 and 2009 was known to be dallying with a teenage girl 10 years ago.
Files also document substance abuse by the officer, Nathan Thomas, in 2005 and 2007.
Another officer involved in the 2008 investigation, Dennis Hughes, was investigated twice in late 2007 for domestic altercations and harassing phone calls to a former girlfriend. The file notes that Hughes was intoxicated both times and when investigators came to question him.
Thomas never was disciplined beyond counseling. Hughes was given three days off for harassment, records show. Hughes later told TBI investigators that he had been addicted to hydrocodone pills since 2006, and Thomas confessed to pill addiction.
A third officer, Lt. Jeremy Noble, who was not involved in the 2008 case, was named in 2003 and 2004 reports saying he tried to date students while working as a school resource officer at Cleveland High School; that he left campus with a girl at least three times; and that he propositioned a Lee University student.
In 2009, Noble was demoted and suspended without pay after he confessed to having three sexual affairs while on duty.
Cleveland city officials, including City Manager Janice Casteel and Mayor Tom Rowland, have not returned calls seeking comment over almost two weeks.
In the beginning
Such activities by Cleveland officers returned to public attention in November, when Assistant Police Chief Gary Hicks testified that officers were warned in May 2008 against "dating minors, porn on city-owned phones, consumption of alcoholic beverages while off-duty, snorting crushed pills [and] oral sex in public" and other misbehavior, according to a memo on Cleveland Police Department stationery.
Hicks was testifying in a lawsuit filed by a Cleveland detective who had been fired.
Police Chief Wes Snyder said that allegations about such activities weren't specific enough to investigate the officers' conduct.
But in November 2008, Hughes accidentally shot another officer in the hand and the ensuing investigation uncovered prescription pill abuse. In January 2008, another investigation began when a 15-year-old runaway was found with Hughes and told police that two other teen girls were involved with the adult police officers.
Thomas pleaded guilty to having sex with 14- and 16-year-old girls as well as drug and forgery charges. Hughes pleaded guilty to statutory rape and aggravated assault.
When the mother of the 15-year-old tried to draw attention to Hughes' conduct in May 2008, her complaint was not written down or investigated, which department policy requires.
"We teach people to trust teachers and trust law enforcement, and when they violate that trust, what do you do?" the mother said in an interview last week. Her name is not being revealed to protect her daughter's identity.
Snyder said last week his office "acted appropriately and transparently" in the 2008 investigation.
Asked if his officers did everything they were required to do under department policy and their oaths as police officers, Snyder said in an email: "If the young ladies [sic] mother wants to file a complaint on them, I will review it and deal with it transparently and within the Cities [sic] policy and state law."
Officer Nathan Thomas
Police records provided to the Times Free Press listed only two incidents for Hughes, both related to domestic incidents with a former girlfriend.
Four internal charges were brought against Thomas in August 2001, after a Cleveland woman said he had been dating her and giving her alcohol since 1999 when she was 18 and he was 28. According to police records, the girl broke off the relationship with the married Thomas when she caught him with yet another woman.
One count, conduct unbecoming an officer, was sustained, but nothing in the documents provided under the state's Open Records Law show Thomas being given any punishment.
He was reprimanded in December 2004 after police found him at home when he was supposed to be working. In February 2005, an internal investigation noted he was coming to work late and leaving early. Confronted with suspicions of alcohol abuse, Thomas confessed and said he would handle the problem.
In June 2007, his file shows a counseling session with Snyder and noting that domestic incidents at his home required police response five times since 2001.
Snyder wrote that "I informed Thomas that I was becoming weary of dealing with his personal problems and that this behavior could not continue. I told him if he could not correct these issues in his personal life more severe disciplinary measures will be taken."
Lt. Jeremy Noble
Files show three incidents for Noble, who was Snyder's brother-in-law and wasn't connected to the 2008 investigation into the accidental shooting.
In 2003, Cleveland High School Principal Chuck Rockholt told police that female students allegedly had complained to a school board member that Noble was trying to date girls at the school.
No formal compliant was filed. Schools Superintendent Rick Denning told police he didn't think the allegations were credible and he wouldn't reveal the board member's name.
The same report documents that Noble left the high school campus at least three times with a girl. The report said he took her to a DARE program, to pick up his wife's car at the mechanic and to observe his wife teaching a class at another school. The girl's statement wasn't in the package of records given to the Times Free Press.
On Friday, Snyder said the girl was a baby sitter and no misconduct ever was alleged. Snyder then was the captain over the criminal investigation division and had responsibility for internal affairs investigations.
He said in an email Friday that he didn't remember whether he or Lt. Ken Simpson investigated the Noble case and there's no name listed on the internal affairs investigator's notes.
In 2004, a mother reported to police that Noble propositioned her daughter, a Lee University student. This was one day after Noble reported that the young woman propositioned him while he was interviewing her over a harassment complaint she had filed against a fellow student. No formal complaint was filed.
And in 2009, Noble admitted that he had had three sexual affairs -- including one with the wife of a fellow officer -- while on duty.
Noble was cited for immoral conduct, dereliction of duty, misuse of city property and falsification of documents. He was reduced in rank from lieutenant to sergeant, given 10 days off without pay, lost use of his city car for 20 days and was required to serve a year on disciplinary probation.
Judy Walton has worked 25 years at the Chattanooga Times and the Times Free Press as an editor and reporter focusing on government coverage and investigations. At various times she has been an assistant metro editor, region reporter and editor, county government reporter, government-beat team leader, features editor and page designer. Originally from California, Walton was brought up in a military family and attended a dozen schools across the country. She earned a journalism degree ...
In your second paragraph Ms. Walton you say "dallying with teenage girls," are you saying or incenuating an underage girl or an adult girl that was teenage? If you are talking about an adult girl that was teenage, then where is the crime? Your reporting is misleading and innacurate. You are leading the public to believe something that is not so. This article is full of misleading excerpts from different sources to slander a department that has weeded out and convicted its bad apples. You distort the truth like the enquirer.
Were it ONLY the CPD that has serious issues, TN would be a great place to live. Same can be said for AG's and others in legal systems in TN. I would guess from various records and folks we spoke with, 50% of more of AG, Courts and Cops are dirty, Worse part is if records checked, the cops get "let go"in one area, and are hired by another. But with what they are paid, education/training requirements, we get what we pay for, in more then one sense of the term. Massive cleanup needed in politics, courts and cops, lower to top. Even worse in the more rural areas as they are ruled on nearly "ole family and friends" nearly religious sect and/or tribal rules.
Kulgopher, I believe the reporter is accurate. Ages are given which are underage minors, not teenage adults. I've read all of the police reports she refers to and I don't believe she misleads. The timeline is very clear. CPD failed to open an investigation and completely dropped the ball.
The writer states that Detective Jeremy Noble "was" the brother-in-law of Chief Snyder. If I am not mistaken Mr. Noble is the brother of Melissa Snyder, the chief's wife. BTW, Melissa is a Lifestyles writer for the Cleveland Daily Banner, which may help explain the coverage this has received in Cleveland. An interesting article by Mrs. Snyder: http://www.clevelandbanner.com/view/full_story/10205901/article-A

The article is innacurate and so are you lookinfour. The second paragraph is referring to Nathan Thomas and his affair ten years earlier with an adult teen. No evidence of underage minors were known until the Dec. 2008, investigation. Walton and the Times are trying to spin that evidence was known before that investigation, INNACURATE.
Thomas was guilty of a crime in late 2008, not ten years earlier, as you report. YOU READ SIDEWAYS.
Kulgolfer, come on. Do a little research before you post. You said...."No evidence of underage minors were known until the Dec 2008 investigation". Really? What about the internal memo from May 29, 2008 where Asst Chief Hicks held a meeting with certain officers and supervisors regarding, and I quote from his memo "dating minors". I believe that meeting was way before any investigation. The top brass had information at least by then but buried their heads in the sand. This memo is from the police department, not dreamt up by this newspaper. It's in black and white where they acknowledge there was information that officers were having inappropriate relationships with MINORS. Here it is if you want to dispute.
...Listen, Lookingfourajob! How well do you research? Could that memo, hmmmm maybe have been referring to a 19 year old officer dating a 17 year old? Again, is that illegal? Hmmmm! What do you think? INNACCURATE!
No, that memo wouldn't be referring to a 19 year old dating a 17 year old. A police officer for the City of Cleveland has to be 21 years of age. So, no. And all of those in attendance at that meeting were over 21. Also, the Asst Chief wouldn't tell a room full of officers to stop dating minors if it wasn't innappropriate. The TBI investigation definitely proved that crimes were occurring.
I think you need to research more. You are wrong again.
The Cleveland Police Department did hire officers under 21, your facts are wrong
Since there were no accusations made at the May 29, 2008 meeting, just warnings about behavior unbecoming of a police officer, I wonder why Jeremy Noble was not included in this meeting? He had been accused of similar behavior before. This tells me this meeting was very specific and focused on certain individuals and known all the way to the top.
I agree patriot1. You don't just group select officers together for a meeting without having some sort of information that is specific enough for the selection. These guys were ordered to attend the meeting because the information the brass had at the time says they were involved. Call it rumors, tips, department gossip, or whatever, they had information that should have led to an investigation to either confirm or squash. They did nothing.
The Enquirer might want to investigate that further also...You wouldn't think that this newspaper would allow a story to be twisted and turned like this one has just because Todd South befriended Duff Brumley during his investigation of the Valentine's Day Murder's. Now this paper is trying to salvage some sense of honest journalism ethic by revealing every disciplinary action ever issued by the Cleveland Police Department. The Cleveland Police Department has levied every discipline allowed by policy and law. Research it, and report all the facts, not just those that create a biased opinion.
kulgolfer...here are qualifications for police officer
but don't let the facts get in your way!!
That is policy of today, not 2008, research, research, research...
Doesn't really matter what the age requirement of a Cleveland Police officer was back in 2008. The point is every one of the officers in that meeting was an adult. The allegations were inappropriate relations with minors. As the facts showed with the Dec 2008 TBI investigation, those minors were 16 years old and under. That's called a felony crime
Mr. Kulgolfer, please post the link you must have for the 2008 police hiring policy. I'd like to read your research. I'm going to assume that you don't have this information and that you're going to post some excuse or reasoning for not having.
You lied. You said Cleveland Police were not under 21 years of age and gave a link to a city website that was not up in 2008. In December 2008, the Chief's Requested TBI investigation revealed that ANOTHER incident into itself had been revealed. Twist some more.
Lol. No lie. I was saying it makes no difference in the number. An adult is an adult by the law. So the Dec. 2008 investigation had different victims than the alleged juvenile victims as referred to I the May 29th memo? That doesn't make your case. Please point us to your proof that police officers in 2008 were 19 years old.
Nowfedup and Lr103 hit the mark with a bulls-eye when describing Cleveland, Tennessee. Despite all the religiosity abounding, Cleveland is one of the dirtiest cities ever. As they say, "the police and courts are as good as money can buy." Want whores, rent-boys, drugs, try Tinsley and other city parks. Police do nothing about it -- nor do the citizens of Cleveland want seem to want it cleaned up. Chattanooga polices the rich and avoids the projects while Cleveland police unfairly pick on the poor while ignoring the rich.
You are wrong by saying "An adult is an adult by the law." Especially when you apply it to 19 year old males dating 17 year old females, police or not. Research T.C.A. code
lookinfour said... As the facts showed with the Dec 2008 TBI investigation, those minors were 16 years old and under.Emphasis
Yes, the December 2008 investigation that Chief Snyder requested revealed that. But your reporting emplies that prior to that, the 14 and 16 year olds were known to the department as victims, and that is false reporting. It is not true.
Detective Jackson's failure to investigate the report from the mother is another indication that she failed to handle crucial evidence.
Did Detective Jackson file a report?
You reported that she is a 19 year veteran of the Cleveland Police Department.
Where does the burden lie?
I don't know if the police chief knew how old the minors were back in May 2008. He never did an investigation to find out. He has publicly said that he only had rumors, not enough to investigate. I thought rumors would cause an investigation but it didn't. So kulgolfer, if the minors were legally able to carry on relationships with these police officers, so you've implied, why would the Chief put them on notice not to have such relationships? You don't make sense.
ANY Police Chief with an ounce of administrative skills would have launched an investigation into the "rumors" of wrongdoing as soon as he heard them. It is the proper and appropriate thing to do ... if HE heard the rumors, so did some of the citizens in the community, and he should have immediately begun a real investigation to prove the rumors one way or the other. It is quite obvious he had reason to believe the officers were involved in wrongdoing, and he was giving them a "warning" that they might be heading for trouble, when, in fact, they were already in deep doo doo. It is an attempt at a cover up, pure and dimple, but it has backfired.
Is this story about the Chief Wes Snyder that stood up and read a statement to the media the day after the original story and said that no one at the "administrative level", including himself had any knowledge of the officers illegal activities prior to December of 2008 only to have a memo surface the following day showing he had lied to the public the day before? Is this the same Chief Wes Snyder that was found to have lied under oath in 2007? Now really, outside of a few individuals that follow him blindly, does anyone believe anything he say?
One last post...
No. 1. You say, "I don't know if the police chief knew how old the minors were back in May 2008." You're finally right, you don't know.
Lets clarify, The Police Chief was approached by the Assistant Chief about rumors.
No. 2. You say "minors...back in May 2008"
You make it plural, like more than one minor. Was there more than one minor in question in May 2008? Were there any MINORS in question at that time that would lead the Police Chief to launch an investigation other than an inquisition? Other than a rumor brought to him by his Assistant Chief about a 19 year old officer dating a 17 year old female?
I ask you...
You are trying to connect a rumored 17 year old female dating a 19 year old police officer relationship, who was warned by the assistant chief about relations with underage people, with two convicted police officers of another crime at another time.
I said minors, as in plural, because that is what asst chief hicks memo from May 29th said.
Kulgolfer, please tell us all which officer that was present at the May 29th meeting, was 19 years old, and the person who was apparently having a relationship with the 17 year old. Just so you have the names, here's the memo link again. Thanks.
Sorry, one more statement:
You answered the first question. Thanks. He was speaking to a group.
Now...How about the other two questions??? Are you gonna answer?
....Check your inside information...it will be wrong also.
There must have been "minors in question" otherwise it wouldn't have been brought up at the meeting. Specific names and further details would have only been brought out had there been an investigation. The meeting didn't mention a 19/17 year old relationship. So who at this meeting was the 19 year old officer?
Kulgolfer....who at this meeting on May 29th was the 19 year old officer the Asst Chief was referring to as "dating minors"? You answering this will solve all. You say you know, so put it out there...
It seems to me that like, Chief Snyder, kulgolfer is trying to obsfucate the central issue with nit-picking facts. The basic fact is that these officers were having sex with children and the Chief Snyder covered for them until it was impossible to cover any more. I am alarmed that Noble was allowed near a school and more alarmed that complaints against him were ignored and downplayed by both the CPD and especially by the school superintendent Rick Denning! What decent person could not be horrified? kulgolfer, I find that the facts reported by the TFP have been accurate and plain. These facts tell a story that is both chilling and disappointing. The children of Cleveland TN have been placed in the care of immoral men and the protectors look the other way as they are victimized. Are you so callous that this does not break your heart?
The City council appoints the City Manager, Janice Casteel. Janice Casteel is Chief Snyder's boss. Who can demand a proper investigation? City Councilmen Charlie McKensie, Bill Estes, Avery Johnson, David May Jr, Dale Hughes, George Poe Jr, and Richard Banks. Janice Casteel won't do it because she doesn't (and won't) answer to the people of Cleveland. Call the Councilmen and demand an investigation. I cannot believe that Bill Estes and Dale Hughes will let this be swept under the rug. Estes works with young people at Lee University and Hughes was the principal at Bradley County HS for years.
boxingbuffalo...I recall all the arguments years ago for the city manager style of government in Cleveland vs. what was in place. This type of government was supposed replace the ole "good ole boy" network and cronyism that existed....Hmmmmm, how'd that work out? Janice Casteel is a weak sister who struggled as city clerk and has no business in the city manager position. She could care less what people think and the police department is not the only dept that needs some attention. The Public Works dept needs to be examined as well....a lot of people have been complaining lately about all the flooding and water runoff issues...but nothing gets done.
Innuendos? It's clear black and white Burgess, on city letterhead.
Newsflash! Cleveland Police will not investigate a report of crime, you must now have evidence before they will spring into action.
For all of you that are involved in the banter with kulgolfer_2, you are missing an important point. MANY of his comments are made from a PERSONAL perspective containing information only an insider would possess. He's one of THEM! Don't waste your time or energy arguing with him. You can't win.

How long can you survive the post-apocalyptic wastelands of NEO Scavenger? In the near-future, supernatural activity and human warfare have fragmented mankind into pockets of civilization struggling to survive in wild and dangerous lands. You awaken alone in an abandoned facility with no food nor water, and only a hospital gown and some mysterious items as clues to your identity.
NEO Scavenger is a game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. Each turn you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. And with each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse!

I didn't want to clog this up without praise, so I just wanted to mention how awesome this game is, and I love the idea of a realistic survival simulator in the apocalypse. You've done an amazing job, Mr. Fedor, and I can't wait to see what more you'll add, however, Desura seems to think I don't own a copy of the beta, despite the fact that it is installed on my computer. I'm wondering if this is an issue that has come up before, and if there is anything I can do other than pay again. I'm on a college budget.
The Patchwork foil poncho; finally got one together but it falls apart in a single turn; is this intentional?
Hey Fedor
I know you're trying to finish up and polish neo scav as far as you can manage, but I was wondering if you were absolutely done adding content; rifles and non-bow weapons are a bit of a liability at this point since they're awkward to carry and the ammo has to be preserved you're better off selling them. A bayonet or even just a shiv taped to the front would probably make them a good cc-weapon even empty without damaging the condition as much as using the buttstock, and could even be used detached if found seperate. Bayonet + small parts + rifle, or shiv/sharp edge + medium string + Adhesive/rigid for strength.
Apart from that, I had a small thesis about Blue Rot's origins and the Blue frog plans, but it'd probably be spoiler posted here.
Finally, What's your major plans after Neo Scavenger, besides moving to non-flash engines?
I agree that a bayonet would be an interesting addition. Especially a jury-rigged one from spare parts, and on a bow :)
It wouldn't affect the degrade rate, unfortunately, due to the way the game code is setup right now. (All items degrade at the same rate regardless of selected attack mode.) Still, it's something I'll consider if there's time!
As for what's next, I have a long list of things to choose from. For example, better save game support, better battle UI, status effects on the creature sprites (e.g. unconscious), powered vehicles, etc. There's probably more on the list than I'll have time for in the sequel, in fact. I'll need to do a prioritization pass on it to see what will make the biggest impact.
How does degradation work, besides that? Items seem to lose about 0.1% per turn or so equipped, I know that, but it has oddities like my birch bag and the pan in it never degrading if I hold it in a duffel, since they're not technically 'equipped'.
I suppose if necessary you could make the bayonet degrade on its own, and not affect the rifle's condition that rifle-hitting does, but that's not a perfet solution either.
Besides that, have you ever considered webbing/Load bearing gear? Anything from National Guard surplus, DMC gear or even leather pouches and makeshift straps from old belts or spare rifle straps. Even if it'd just be for holding ammo or loose items, since Arrows are difficult to store without a duffel bag or backpack and loose bullets are a nightmare to organise.
Anyway, thanks for replying; It's great to hear you've still got ideas to add, even if it's already hard enough to sell this game to people the minute they see all the ways to die.
Followup note: Got stuck in a conversation loop with a Martha's Army guy, where he asks if i've got any tracking devices. Choosing clean repeats the choices, choosing 'Don't know' locks me into talking to him constantly. Seems related to the 'people moving away' when you choose to talk thing.
I'd upload my save where it's stuck, but i'm not clear on where the saves are actually stored.
Thanks! I managed to fix that conversation one in the latest patch, v0.9941b. It's currently in the testing phase at bluebottlegames.com and Steam.
As for webbing and load bearing gear, this is something I've wanted to add, too. However, the game isn't very good at supporting multiple pockets (see cargo pants, armor vest, backpacks/duffle).
The best I can do is make a large space equal to all the small pockets combined. This creates an unrealistic storage space if too large, and unrealistic/unworthy space if too small. Plus, I'm running out of UI room around the paper doll :)
In the next game, I want to see if I can make the UI support more variable storage spaces. Maybe even make the container grids collapsable/movable, so the player chooses where they are on-screen.
Ah, thanks for that. The engine must be frustrating as sin to work with, especially with Flash's own aggravating nuances; i'm suprised, though happy you're adding content even with the issues that flare up. Good luck with it all.
