In the future, we're going to pull him a little further from the portal if time is close. We'll get him tomorrow though :-P

Hey cider what add on do u use to see what he is casting or is there a way to move the wow interface one further down? as i would like to have that for the Nax boss also :-)
As far as infinite dragon flight vs. Bronze etc, I think you pretty much have the right of it. They went to go back in time and right the wrongs, but that of course would screw up history and change the world, and be morally wrong or something, so we have to go in and preserve our history.
We are Time Cops.
The initial hit of carrion swarm cant be relfected, but the dot can be. Reduces a little damage taken on the tank
Thanks for the guide. ;)
I believe people are making Meathook seem a bit more difficult than he actually is.
The maneuver that he does that really hurts the group the most is the constricting chains. These however can be line of sighted.
This isn't optimal when you have heavy ranged, but it's ideal for healers. Since without the 4 second stun from the chains you shouldn't have any issues keeping people up. If you stack on him you take the disease cloud, which also is not optimal.
We usually pull him to any corner, whether it be the entrance to a building, a corner of the wall, or a cart that blocks line of sight.
The tank moves parallel to the wall creating the corner and backs up past the corner keeping Meathook on the other side. The healer stands around the corner.
The healer is in line of sight of the tank and can heal without worrying about chains. Typically AoE healing will keep up the other party members taking disease, or a ranged taking chains.
From my experience as a resto shaman, not being hit by chains makes the fight rather trivial. Hope that helps anyone that feels they may be having trouble on this fight. It also removes the dependency on HoTs.
The third boss, whose abilities you referred to not knowing in the video, does the following:
Curse of Exhaustion - Doubles the cost of spells and abilities for 8 seconds (can be dispelled)
Wounding Strike - Hits for weapon damage (i.e. normal melee), 25% healing reduction, Bleed DoT. 4 second duration, tank only.
Time Warp - Slows down time for 6 seconds, increases cast times, reduces attack and movement speed by 70%. He also hits 3 party members in quick succession.
Time Stop - 2-3 second party wide stun.
Also, I was wondering how hard the run would be with no raid gear? This looks like something we can work on while waiting for the whole of our raid team to make it to 80.
i was just wondering where you got your unit frame. ive been looking all over for a frame like that.
it's good to note that if you don't run with more than 1 range dps meathook is gonna cause problems. he will randomly "chain" a ranged enemy which disables them and deals about 8k-10k damage over a short duration. If it chains your healer, the tank will probably take a lot of damage and die.
Another note is that the zombies cause some sort of mana burn because whenever they hit my healer repeatedly (stupid dps didn't keep them off of him) he ran oom retardedly fast.
So how do you take down meathook with only 1 range or no range (ala only your healer?)
Tank him so that you are in LOS with your healer but your healer is out of LOS of meathook. this will protect your healer and effectively yourself. We didn't figure this out until numerous wipes so.... no drake for me =(
edit: doh noticed Jenkah already mentioned this.
The timer thing's been changed I think, or at least the ticking clock at the top of the screen. We engaged the infinite corruptor with 5 mins to spare, and upon contact, the screen timer disappear. Since we downed him 1 minute later, we didn't have a chance to test if he would walk into the portal after the timer count downs to 0. Can anyone verify this?
What irks me is the amount of RP elements in the event that wastes so much time. Most of the time, the last gauntlet, ie. burning strat, requires non-stop moving and clearing to compensate for all the time wasted on RPing and waiting for packs of mobs to spawn. Clearing that gauntlet fast enough is a big key towards success.
Our group just burned through this place earlier tonight. All three of our dps (fury war, unholy dk, ret paladin) were pushing 2500+ dps. We ended up with about 4 minutes left on the timer at the end. I can only imagine how easy this will be when people really start gearing up with Naxx 25 gear.
Currently I'm sitting on top of Mal'ganis' chest with an open GM ticket. The chest bugged out on our whole group and nobody could open it. Anybody else had a similar issue? I'm wondering if it's somehow related to the timed run since all my other regular and heroic runs of Strat have worked fine.
Holy ... that thing is tiny, Vern.
it's only tiny because he's in storm peaks near the Female Viking town.
I'll be putting one of these together for a DK PoV as well. If massive failure didn't occur I'd have the full fraps already.
The spots where you need to talk to Arthas to trigger events are as follows:
1. Just inside Stratholme to start the waves event and turn everyone into zombies.
2. Just inside the town hall to initiate the Infinite Dragonflight event.
3. After defeating the Infinite Dragonflight boss to open up the passage behind the bookcase
4. At the end of the passageway out of the bookcase to start the final 'gauntlet'.
5. At the end of the gauntlet in Market Square to intiate the Mal'ganis encounter.
Obviously, if you're doing a drake run, you don't want to talk to him the 5th time, instead just run past and take out the Infinite Corruptor.
As to the lore (because I'm bored); during Dragonflight you get a quest called Mystery of the Infinite, where Chromie asks you to go to the bronze dragonshrine and divine the identity of the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight. At the end of this quest, none other than Nozdormu, the missing leader of the bronze dragonflight. According to Wowwiki, he has been MIA since the Infinite Dragonflight appeared. As such, it seems reasonable to suspect that Nozdormu is the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight.
Mind you, I don't know a huge amount about lore, so I could be wrong.
Did this yesterday and the day before no problems, still 3-5 minutes left on timer when we get done with the corruptor.
Group setup was:
Prot Paladin (Myself)
Resto Druid
Elemental Shaman
BM Hunter
Frost Mage/Destro Lock
Only part we thought could be bad was Chrono-Lord, and the shaman just BL's our way thru it, downing him in ~40 seconds. Meathook is a joke with a resto druid, and if he got chained and I was getting low I'd just Divine Protection, Trinket (if it's up) and the shaman would help heal, though usually I've got full HoT's all the time.
In the area (gauntlet) right after Chrono-Lord, simply know what your limits are, and don't pull too much. Many of the pulls you can probably pull 2 or so of the groups, but it may become stressful on your healer if you pull lets say one of the Abombs, the spider group and a few ghouls...may start to get stressful.
Either way, this run is made insanely easy with a paladin tank simply due to the snap threat on undead mobs so DPS can start before I even begin to pull. :)
Best of luck guys, hope you all get your drakes!
~Kalagar, Sen'jin US
Picked up the drake for myself last night. Group make up was Prot War (me), Blood DK, Combat Rogue, Hunter and Disc priest. We had one death at Meathook and another on an elite pack but other than that ran fine with 3 minutes left to kill the boss.
Oh and the mount is small compared to other drakes.
Yeah, there is a scaling issue with it...looks kinda funny, especially when transformed as a viking chick. Ironically on the same run I got mine, I dinged exalted with Wyrmrest so I got bronze and red the same night and the red drake is bigger.
I've made the timer twice. A third try didn't pan out because of low DPS with a weaker group but we still cleared the zone.
Its pretty straight forward. Keep moving, use spell reflect alot (on Malganis I tend to use it on his Mind Blast) On Salram(sp?) you can beat his ass fast when you throw 10K shadowbolts back on him. Don't be afraid to burn CDs when you have to. Tell your healer to catch their breath and throw up your self heal and a trinket or SW. Blow everything on the 3rd boss and you can DPS him down before he whirlwinds.
I did it with 3 melee DPSers(DK, TG warrior, rogue-resto shammy's chain heal was huge here) on our first attempt and smoked it. It was difficult to hold aggro on EVERYTHING but a worthy challenge.
Did not read whole thread so this may have been mentioned already but the one thing that made the difference between getting drake or not on my first successful attempt was using the mini map properly. About 5 seconds before they announce where the mobs are the dot will show up...if you start running immediately you can be half way there before the zone yell comes through. Shaves about a minutes off your run over the course of the instance and for your first try that 1 minute is huge.

Congress has finally passed a long-awaited supplemental appropriations bill to bring relief to those affected by Superstorm Sandy and to promote better preparedness for future disasters.
On top of the $9 billion agreed to in early January for direct flood insurance claims, the supplemental provides $50 billion for community rebuilding and future storm readiness, as well as a small amount in fisheries disaster relief. Despite a push from coastal Members to increase the fisheries funding, the final bill included only $5 million for communities affected by Sandy-related fisheries disasters—a far cry from the $150 million that the Senate originally approved in November.
Monday's passage wraps up a months-long fight between the Senate and House largely over the bill's price tag. The original Senate-approved bill totaled $64 billion, including funding for flood insurance, rebuilding, and the fisheries disaster relief, among other things.
The bill also stipulated that the $150 million in fisheries relief would be available for all fisheries disasters that the Commerce Secretary officially declared in 2012, not just those related to Sandy. These included the Northeast groundfish, Alaska pollock, and Mississippi oyster fisheries, each of which suffered from other natural disasters in 2012. The House balked at including non-Sandy-related relief, along with the overall cost, and ultimately punted the bill to the new Congress.
When the new Congress took up the bill on January 3, the fisheries disaster funding quickly became a target for elimination. Rep. Randy Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) proposed limiting the fisheries aid to $5 million, sparking outrage from colleagues who represent fishing communities along the Atlantic coast. Reps. Edward Markey (D-MA), John Tierney (D-MA), and others attempted to restore the fisheries aid to the Senate-passed level, but House Republicans opposed their efforts. In the end, the House agreed only to the $5 million, leaving it up to the Senate to decide whether to fight for additional funds. And despite opposition from a number of coastal Senators, the Senate agreed to the House-passed bill—including the $5 million in fisheries aid—in order to finalize the package and get the long-awaited relief to those in need.
Oceana supported this fishery disaster funding to support struggling fishing communities and to help coastal communities rebuild, provided that the funds do not facilitate activities that jeopardize ocean health. According to federal guidelines, fishery disaster funds can be used to repair or restore fishing equipment and infrastructure, compensate for losses, restore fisheries habitat, support workforce education, provide low-interest loans, and conduct monitoring and cooperative research focused on improving stock assessments. They cannot be used to support activities that would jeopardize the health of the fisheries.

District XIII includes South Carolina & Georgia. Created in 1996, we have held a High Point series each year crowning District Champions at the end of the season. Our major race is the Spring Nationals in Atlanta, GA held each year in April. This race has 200+ boats entered each year and has sold out months in advance the past two seasons. The Twin Hydro Shootout is also held during the Spring Nationals.
In 2001 a four race Grand Prix series for the Gas Boaters was created with open water on Saturday morning and racing starting at noon. The two-day format with limited classes makes for smaller races while maintaining a good level of competition.
The District has a total of three clubs. One club the Charleston Model Boaters, host of the World Tunnel Championships, are in South Carolina. Georgia is home to our other two clubs, the Atlanta Model Boaters, host of the 1991 Internats, 2003 Gas Nats and the annual Spring Nationals race and the SOWEGA Model Boaters.

Microsoft Office supports right-to-left (right-to-left: Refers to keyboard settings, document views, user interface objects, and the direction in which text is displayed. Arabic and Hebrew are right-to-left languages.) functionality and features for languages that work in a right-to-left or a combined right-to-left, left-to-right environment for entering, editing, and displaying text. In this context, "right-to-left languages" refers to any writing system that is written from right to left and includes languages that require contextual shaping, such as Arabic, and languages that do not. You can change your display to read right-to-left or change individual files so their contents read from right to left.
If your computer doesn't have a right-to-left language version of Office installed, you will need to install the appropriate language pack. You must also be running a Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support — for example, the Arabic version of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 — and enable the keyboard language for the right-to-left language that you wants to use.
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, before you can use any of the right-to-left features in Microsoft Office, or even correctly display right-to-left scripts, you must Add an input language and enable the keyboard layout for the right-to-left language.
If you are using Windows XP, before you can use any right-to-left features in Office, or even correctly display right-to-left scripts, you must first go into the Control Panel in Windows XP to install the Microsoft Windows complex scripts required. After installing the complex script software, add the keyboard language. For more information, see Set up Windows XP for multiple languages and Enable keyboard layouts for different languages.
Top of Page
Depending on how you prefer to customize your computer, you can use one language for your display (menus, dialog boxes, and wizards), and type in a different language as needed. If you want both to type in a right-to-left language and see the menus and online Help in that language, you can set the Office display to that language preference. For more information, Set the editing, display, or Help language preferences.
Several right-to-left features in the Office programs use the display language to determine the screen layout direction (direction: Specifies the reading order, alignment, and/or visual appearance of right-to-left text and documents, regardless of the keyboard language. Direction also describes how the user interface, controls, and other screen objects are oriented.) and the alignment of text within dialog boxes. When you specify a right-to-left user display language in the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, the layout of menus, dialogs, and wizards are right to left, but the Microsoft Windows settings remain left to right. To learn how to change the display language in Microsoft Windows, see Change the display language.
For example, when Arabic is selected as the display language in the Office (but not in Windows), you see the following display:
Although the menus are displayed right to left, the title bar remains in English and the Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons remain in the upper-right corner, as they do in a left-to-right interface. If the Windows display is set up for a right-to-left language, the language in the title bar would also be translated, and the Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons would be in the upper-left corner.
If you work primarily in a left-to-right language but sometimes need to insert text in a right-to-left language, you can select English (U.S.) for your display language and type in the right-to-left language in most of the Office programs when you want to. To do this, Set right-to-left text, bullets, and numbering for the editing area and enable the keyboard layout.
You can change the text direction from within a Microsoft Office program by clicking the Right-to-left paragraph button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab (this only appears if you have a right-to-left language enabled). Even after changing your display to appear in a right-to-left language, you must have the appropriate keyboard language enabled to enter text in that language.
If your usual display language is English but you want to change it to Arabic, do the following:
Important This changes the default editing language for all the Microsoft Office programs.
To type using a particular language's native keyboard, you must install the appropriate language pack for that language, and add the appropriate keyboard layout. After adding a keyboard layout for another language and selecting the Language bar to be Docked on the taskbar, a language indicator appears on the taskbar and displays the current keyboard language. For example, the language indicator for Arabic is . For more information on the Language bar, see Language bar (overview).
Note The Language bar appears automatically after adding a keyboard for at least one language in addition to English in the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box in Microsoft Windows.
For instructions about how to enable a language-specific keyboard, see Enable keyboard layouts for different languages.
Depending on which languages you need, Munja can enter text by using the Character Map or ASCII character codes. For information about ASCII character codes, see Insert ¢, £, ¥, ®, and other characters not on the keyboard.
If you only want to enter a little text in another language and don't want to switch your keyboard, you can use the Character Map, one of the Accessories in Microsoft Windows, to enter text. You can select a character from one of the right-to-left or left-to-right language font pages, copy it to the Clipboard, and then insert the character in your document. For more information about how to use the Character Map to enter text, see Using special characters (Character Map).
Text direction refers to the reading order (reading order: The visual order in which characters, words, and groups of words are displayed. English and most other European languages are displayed in left-to-right order and Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and Urdu are displayed in right-to-left order.), alignment, and overall layout of screen elements. When right-to-left and left-to-right texts are used together in the same sentence, paragraph, or control, the combined text is known as "mixed".
When the Office program is set up and enabled to display a right-to-left text environment, the appearance of the cursor varies to indicate a left-to-right run (run: A contiguous piece of text or string of characters sharing the same attributes. All characters in a run have the same directional properties.) or , or a right-to-left run . The cursor can either move according to the direction of the language recognized (logical movement) or move to the next visually adjacent character (visual movement).
Text in a cell (cell: A box formed by the intersection of a row and column in a worksheet or a table, in which you enter information.) or field (field: An element of a table that contains a specific item of information, such as a last name. A Title field might contain Mr. or Ms. Databases such as Microsoft SQL Server refer to fields as columns.) can be left-aligned, center-aligned, or right-aligned. In some programs, such as Access and Excel, text can also have Context text direction.
When text has Context text direction, text and numbers are aligned according to the language of the first character entered — for example, text in the cell or field is right-aligned if the first character is in a right-to-left language, and left-aligned if the first character is in a left-to-right language. You can override Context text direction and switch to Left, Center, or Right text direction for individual objects.
Many right-to-left or combined right-to-left and left-to-right programs apply context rules that control text direction and the reading order of text. Boxes, lists, and other elements control the context rules for the text that they contain.
The context rules for the reading order and text direction are as follows:
Any time you change the first strong character from a left-to-right language to a right-to-left language (or vice versa), both the reading order and the text direction change accordingly.
When both left-to-right and right-to-left languages are enabled, the Left-to-right and Right-to-left paragraph buttons are enabled on the ribbon in most of the Office programs. When you click these buttons, you can change the direction of text when entering and justifying text.
Note In Microsoft OneNote, the Left-to-right and Right-to-left buttons are available by clicking the Paragraph Alignment arrow.
In word-processing programs — such as Word — you can select, find, and replace individual diacritics (diacritics: Markings that are printed above, below, or next to a character that indicate how to pronounce it.) and individual Arabic characters regardless of whether they are ligated. Each ligature and diacritic is managed as a discrete unit of a right-to-left language word.
The following example shows selecting an Arabic word that has a three-character ligature (as each character is selected).
You can save files in HTML (HTML: The standard markup language used for documents on the World Wide Web. HTML uses tags to indicate how Web browsers should display page elements such as text and graphics and how to respond to user actions.) format for posting on the Web in right-to-left or left-to-right direction. Web pages that have right-to-left direction are marked by using the standard HTML DIR attribute in the HTML file. If the Web browser that you are using recognizes the DIR attribute, the page displays in a right-to-left direction. If your Web browser does not recognize the DIR attribute, the page is displayed in a left-to-right direction.
Tip To view right-to-left Web pages, use a browser that recognizes the DIR attribute, such as at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 Middle East, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Complex Scripts, or at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
Right-to-left sort order is applied wherever possible. This applies to data lists in table view, card view, and icon view, and to group-by lists, contact lists, folder lists, and address lists.
Note Some server-side views might not sort data according to right-to-left sort order, because they follow supported server-side sort orders.
Microsoft Office programs support the following code pages that are available to Arabic, Hebrew, and mixed-text users:
Each code page (code page: A table that relates the binary character codes used by a program to keys on the keyboard or to the appearance of characters on the display. Code pages are a means of providing support for the languages used in different countries/regions.) is identified by a unique code page number. The code page (CP) for Arabic is CP 1256.
Dari, Pashto, Persian, Uighur, and Urdu use the same code pages as Arabic.

Editor's Note: The March for Life event is scheduled to close streets from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. around the District on Friday. Click here for street closures.
Natalie Plumb, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The streets are clear of inaugural participants, but thousands of visitors are heading back to the National Mall Friday for an entirely different event.
Anti-abortion activists from across the nation will take to D.C.'s streets for the 40th annual March for Life, a march that commemorates the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Organizers say they hope the crowd will surpass the march's record of 400,000 demonstrators, and even the attendance of 1 million people at the inauguration.
"It would be fantastic if the numbers topped those of the inauguration," says Jeanne Monahan, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. "However, it would be an act of God -- it would be a miracle if that happened."
The National Park Service used to estimate an official count of march participants, but stopped giving estimates after Million Man March organizers threatened to sue in 1995 for what they claimed was an underestimate.
"(How many marchers will be there) is the million-dollar question, and we don't have a formal or really an informal estimate," Monahan says, adding that an unaffiliated group plans to oversee a formal estimate this year.
Monahan says she expects large crowds because hotel rooms that organizers reserved downtown sold out a month in advance -- something that has never happened before.
The march is also expected to draw crowds because the march's founder, Nellie Gray, died in August at age 88, and supporters may attend in her honor.
"We are anticipating a somewhat larger crowd not only because it's the 40th anniversary, but because Nellie Gray died last year," says National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson.
On Saturday, the National LIFE Runners, Vitae Foundation and the March for Life are co-sponsoring the Inaugural Nellie Gray 5K Run/Walk, with a Kids' 1K Fun Run. Runners from 28 states will run along the Potomac River in West Potomac Park in Gray's honor.
The March for Life march is traditionally held on Jan. 22 -- the anniversary of Roe v. Wade -- but this year, the 57th presidential inauguration caused the National Park Service to schedule the march to occur on Jan. 25.
Johnson says transitioning from two largely attended events in four days is like giving the National Mall a facelift.
"We're cleaning up after the inauguration, and we're getting ready for the March for Life," she says.
Though the Mall will need a lot of preparation, Johnson says the National Park Service treats every event the same, including rallies, musical performances, prayers and speeches. She added that D.C. police will escort the marchers throughout the day.
March participants often include groups with schools, charities, churches and anti-abortion organizations. Hundreds of local students from Catholic University, Gonzaga College High School, St. Ann's Academy, Georgetown Preparatory School, Academy of the Holy Cross, DeMatha Catholic High School, Georgetown University and others are also expected to attend.
Monahan says Students for Life of America -- an anti-abortion organization -- sold out spots for their conference, which has more than 200,000 young people, months in advance. The students will participate in the march and attend a 12-hour event with speakers on Saturday.
"We're certainly seeing signs that there may be record-breaking crowds, and that's certainly the hope," Monahan says.
On Friday morning, a youth rally is expected to host about 18,000 demonstrators in the Verizon Center, according to the Archdiocese of Washington. Groups will join the demonstration on the National Mall at noon for a second rally prior to the march. During this portion, marchers hear from speakers, congressional leaders and anti-abortion advocates.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, spoke at last year's march, telling the crowd that he is one of 12 children and his anti-abortion views are a part of his identity. This year, he is expected to address the marchers in a video that will be released to the public after the march.
"He's really encouraging Americans and talking about his own pro-life views and the fact that abortion is really a human rights abuse," says Monahan, describing Boehner's speech in the video.
At about 1:30 p.m., the march departs, proceeding north on Constitution Avenue until it passes the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill, where the marchers disband.
WTOP's Traffic Operations Director Jim Battagliese says it's a good idea to "stay away from the Mall" on Friday.
"People tend to leave work early on Fridays, so having the March for Life in the middle of all this might be a little crazy traffic-wise," he says.
Battagliese advises commuters leaving work from downtown on Friday to avoid Constitution Avenue because it will be closed.

I have been reading the prior year post to this thread, and have a question. There appeared to be a corbin sight called "GuysGoneBi" that featured the same models as ACM/ACS. Were they the same videos as appeared on ACS? If not, are those videos available anywhere? Thanks in advance for your help.
^^ ggb contained the bi videos from acs, plus a few more (17). Whereas acs only used to release a bi video every other week, ggb had one weekly. All of the ggb videos were released in hi def (720p). ggb disappeared (2011-09) shortly after cfs was created (2011-08). (Almost) all of the ggb/acs videos are now for sale of cfs. And acs stopped releasing bi videos in the fall of 2012.
corbinfisher.com/trailers.aspx (?)
Did I leave any out? Would be nice if they had links from the main site to promote them. Perhaps in the next release of the main...
Also is there a way to distinguish the ggb videos from the acs videos?

Is CF trying to say something with the amount of their ACM updates this week?
P.S~ I love Quinn.
Just saw the video, and I must say, Gentry (?) reminds me of James.
Quinn and Gentry are definitely two cute gay boys.
Ha Gentry will bottom very soon. Cant wait. He is so handsome and great personality. Hottttttttttttt guy for sure.
@Jupiter Street: That's what I've been thinking since he appeared for his solo. Which is totally welcome, as I've totally missed James. It seemed that just as he got really good at bottoming (e.g. James & Aaron's scene) he was gone. I really hope that Gentry stays around and stays around longer.

IMHO this is CF's best scene in months. And Gentry is really handsome, probably my favorite one in the recent newbies.

How do you remember all their passwords? Or do they all have the same password?
I can't decide who's luckier: Quinn or Blake.
Seems to be a slow day around here. Perhaps this will pick things up
I think it's amazing the how Zeb has opened up or loosened up in ways I never imagined! He's so pretty and lean that you forget how hung he is! Great showcase for his boner!
It kind of sucks that all of Josh's scenes are on CFS now. All the talk of Lucas coming back for additional scenes made me wonder if his new ones would be exclusive to CFS too.
I'll be very disappointed if all of the new Lucas scenes wind up on cfs. That would be a real "fuck you" to the cf-acm subscribers. It will also be interesting to see if any of the scenes from their latest trip wind up on acm. In each of their major trips in the past, at least some of the scenes wound up on acm (but not DownUnder, nor three Amigos). I think it will be a good measure of what value cf places on their subscribers.
As a separate example, having now become enamored with Quinn (based on his acm scenes), I find he has four scenes on cfs that I would like to see. But I'm not willing to spend $20 to see four videos. If I'm going to spend $20-25 on gay porn, i'm more apt to go try a month of Helix or cockyboys where I've got a whole library of videos to try for the same amount of money. When Corbin asks me to pull out my credit card and spend real dollars to download one video, I'm going to consider what else I might purchase on a video by video basis. I've pretty well gotten over the impulse buying of cfs videos (the primary exception being cfs sales ).
As an acm subscriber I get about thirteen videos per month. I can afford to write off the not so good ones. As long as at least half of the videos are good, and there are a few really good videos, I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. If I reach a point where I think all the good stuff is on cfs and not acm, I'll write Pete and complain, and eventually I'll cancel my acm subscription.
I like Quinn SO MUCH.
I hope he and Harper get paired up soon.
I know that there was some discussion about Les Miserables earlier and the CF looking boys in the rebellion. I just got home from seeing it and I would bet serious money that one of the ones that has some singing lines is Reed. Same nose, same crooked smile. Same gap in the teeth.
Okay, I know this is the CF board, not SC, but since I like you guys (and women) I wanted to share this: Just watched Taylor and Dalton on SC. Completely surprised by how hot it was, because both guys had that "hand me the money NOW" look to them. But....
The internal cumshot at the end may just be the hottest 45 seconds ever filmed in a porn video. Or at least the most real looking depiction of sex I've ever seen on camera. You all have got to see it... and you know by now that I am not given to superlatives, so trust me on this.
Did anyone download the CFS Ashton and Connor video-just curious as I sat next to Ashton at a restaurant in Tampa-wanting to know if it is a creampie video-can't tell from the stills
Ashton's made himself a lot of fans since this burly bar bouncer first appeared on Corbin Fisher. Now we get to see him take on someone his own size - CF legend and resident Greek god, Connor - and see who bounces who!
Watching these two muscled titans make out and suck cock is exciting enough … but watching Ashton take Connor's huge cock from every angle is worth more than any club's two-drink minimum. Ashton rides Connor's dick and he blows a thick load all over his leg – which he follows up by swallowing Connor's load!
Thank you Joe..at first I thought damn you are quite the explicit reviewer
Since Pete starts by saying good morning to Connor and Ashton i'm assuming it was shot first thing. Connor's hair certainly looks like he just rolled out of bed.
There are several out gay models who have enjoyed a high degree of popularity on this thread over the years: Patrick, Dante, Jarrett, Carter all spring to mind. The problem is that they disappear too quickly. This leads me to suspect that the thoughtful posters here are not representative of the average CF customer.
However sometimes I suspect the bitch league holds gay models to a higher standard. They are also more likely to pick on a gay model, as happened with Quinn I, who I thought was cute as fuck. It's way more in evidence over on WayBig, which is like cyber middle-school.
Ashton: I still think he was significantly cuter as in his first solo for Fratmen (can't recall his name). His looks deteriorated at the Pad, where he succumbed to the ink fetish. Ironically "Connor Ashton" was the name of a Cobra twink who did a scene and apparently had a fling with the model currently known as Sean Paul Lockhardt.
TommyPaine: SC does the internal cum shots much better than CF. Their creampies are also better executed. Often the bottom's butt is elevated so that most of the top's cum ends up in the little divot around the his hole and goes inside with the reinsertion.
Personally, my favorite internals were with condoms. Horny Cam was the master at these. I've been with several guys who can't cum in a condom.
I can imagine that the Lucas scenes will be CFS exclusive, just as Josh's scenes now seem to be too. In fact, I'm very suprised 'Double Penetrating Dawson' wasn't a CFS exclusive too. Last year, I let my 2 year membership lapse for the first time, and only rejoined for a month during the Christmas Sale as I was intrigued by the 'Double Penetrating Connor' update - but even that I felt was a disappointment. For someone who can sure give it, its about time Connor learnt to take it too. I cancelled my sub a few weeks back, and can safely say the only time I will rejoin is next time there is a sale so I can catch up on what I've missed.
I bought I few Select vids, but its got to the point where say by opting for the Select vids I'd only get 3 vids for $20, as opposed to the 16 or so you'd get with a ACM membership (during the sale).... so I will pretty much be looking for another site I think. Whilst the novelty of Select was good to begin with, I feel like it has turned into a kick in the teeth for ACM members.
I love Trey from CF! The man just oozes sex and I enjoy watching him. He have such a beautiful smile!
It's not middle high-school, it's a retirement home in Alabama, full of men who have been in closet all their life, never seen the dick and their only man-on-man experience was that straight guy beating them up in the school... Their brains simply can't accept that gay man can be out and openly enjoy gay sex. I feel sorry for these old men, but they need to know young people are exposed to that stuff...
Does anybody knows if Quinn is straight or gay???
quinn & gentry was a seriously horny scene! they should totally let quinnie there de-virg gentry cuz he's got this lithe bod made for fucking and an nice thick cock perfect for opening virgin hole and seasoning it with the first shot of man-seed! do it right and that dude will be queer for life! in fact it looks like they prolly did it in the shower already.
Funny I always just assumed Quinn was gay, probably because he reminds me of one of the old Cobra twinks. I almost never read the write-ups. Just read his and it's equivocal. They haven't established his straight creds with an ACS scene (just like Zeke did lol!) They typically do that right off if they want tom market a model as 'straight'.
but the maturity level of way big regulars like 'clusterfuck' and 'sushi' is strictly adolescent. They are still very 'concrete'. They haven't entered 'formal operations' in Piaget terminology.
Funny you should mention nursing home. There was a great line from the Sopranos about assisted living "sometimes this place is high-school in wheel chairs." One of the later seasons. Paulie's mother/aunt, not Livia.
Disillusionment: when you've watched your favorite scene often enough that the flaws stand out, technical flaws that had once been so well hidden by the models' brilliant performances ... but are now so blindingly obvious.
I'm referring to Cumming in Cameron.
Just think what goes through the minds of these young gay boys, when they apply for a gay porn site, and the first thing they asked for is to fuck girls. It may be somewhat funny, but... Just recently there was another gay boy suicide, because he was bullied for being gay. And here we see gay boys being bullied by "gay" porn studio and their "gay" fans. At the same time even the US president says "gay brothers and sisters" deserve equality. Not on Corbin Fisher though...
New tweet - CFSelect scenes will now go up at midnight on Friday instead of Saturday. Good news for me!
When I saw the gif's of Quinn and Gentry, I immediately had the thought that one of them seemed to favor Sean/Matt quite a bit. Did anyone else think that or was it just my imagination? I haven't seen the vid yet but hope to soon.
^^ correction: that he was gay
Yeah, because being gay and having a boyfriend must be so offensive. But "straight" guys saying how they love to fuck girl asses is just fine.
Did cf re-edit his first scene? I ask because the video I have during the interview with Pete, Quinn pretty much says verbatim what was in the original write-up
I wonder if 'baseball jock marshall' had any idea that three years after rubbing one out for Fratmen he'd be taking raw dick and eating load for Corbin Fisher?
What has happened at CF is that they've painted themselves into a corner by refusing to be open about being a GAY porn studio. In fact, similar to Bel Ami, which doesn't use the term 'gay' to my knowledge either, though letting their models openly admit about being attracted or lusting for each other, CF would consider themselves more of an all-male porn company, although they can't since they do have straight and bi content presently. Hence, they are between a rock and a hard on.
It's a simple PR move that's gone bad, really bad and can only be corrected if CF changed their business model again. However, according to some sources, even the owners don't seem to want to cave in on that so they have to deal with a controversial business model that eventually will run them and some of their own models into the ground, on a moral and a psychological basis. Luckily, quite a few models have recognised that early and are now having successful careers at more relaxed and open-minded studios. The one's that are staying, well, they are text-book cases; intriguing, interesting, yet frustratingly complex sexually.

10/05 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
1953: The Yanks end the World Series in 6 as Billy Martin's 12th hit' a record-breaking single to center in the bottom of the 9th' gives the Yankees their 5th championship in a row, and their 14th overall. Carl Furillo had tied it up in the 9th with a 2-run homer.
1941: One of the most dramatic comebacks in World Series history occurs when, with 2 out in the 9th inning' Dodger catcher Mickey Owen drops a third strike on Tommy Henrich that would have given Brooklyn a4-3 victory over New York. The Yankees then rally for 4 runs to win 7-4 and take a 3 games to 1 lead in the Series. Charlie Keller has 2 singles and 2 doubles to lead the Bombers.
1921: The Yankees play the first postseason game in their history, as the World Series opens at the Polo Grounds (which will be the sole venue for all the games played, as it is the home park for both the Yanks and their opponents, the New York Giants). In the contest, Yankee starter Carl Mays scatters 5 hits for a 3-0 win.
On other 5ths of October…
2007: The 'Mosquito Game'
2006: The Yankees-Tigers ALDS begins to turn when Mike Mussina fails to cash in a 3-1 Yankee fourth-inning lead forged on a Johnny Damon home run. The Yanks fail to score, leaving five on base against hard-throwing Justin Verlander in the first two innings, and it comes back to haunt them when Curtis Granderson drives in the go-ahead and game-winning run with a seventh-inning triple, in the 4-3 win that pulls the Tigers even at one game apiece.
2005: Orlando Cabrera's 2-run single in the 7th inning leads the Angels to a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over the Yankees to even their Division Series at 1 game apiece. Three errors help bury NY. Jorge Posada homers for the Yanks' and Juan Rivera and Bengie Molina connect for Los Angeles. Kelvin Escobar gets the win in relief.
2004: The Twins shutout the Yankees behind Johan Santana,2-0' to take the opener of their Division Series. Minnesota turn a postseason-record 5 DPs in the contest and Jacque Jones hits a HR.
2003: The Yankees pound the Twins behind David Wells, 8-1' to win their Division Series. New York stroke 4 doubles in a 4-run 6th inning to move into the ALCS.
2002: The Angels shock the Yankees by scoring 8 runs in the 5th inning and going on to a 9-5 victory. The win gives Anaheim their first postseason series victory ever' as they win their divisional matchup' 3 games to 1. Shawn Wooten homers for Anaheim while Jorge Posada adds a round-tripper for NY. Jarrod Washburn gets the victory
for the Angels.
1999: The Yankees whitewash the Rangers 8-0 in the opener of their AL division series. Orlando Hernandez hurls a 2-hitter for NY' while Bernie Williams contributes a single' a double and a homer, driving in 6 runs.
1997: Cleveland score single runs in the 8th and 9th innings to defeat the Yankees' 3-2' and even their series at 2 games apiece. David Justice and Sandy Alomar homer for the Indians' but it's a single by light-hitting Omar Vizquel (below) that wins it.
1996: The Yankees wrap up their series against the Rangers, taking Game 4 by a score of 6-4 and winning their first postseason series in 15 years. Bernie Williams homers twice for NY' while Juan Gonzalez hits a record-tying 5th HR for Texas.
1985: Toronto beat the 2nd-place Yankees 5-1 to clinch their its first AL East crown. Dave Winfield drives in the lone run' his 100th RBI of the year. He is the first Yankee to have 100 RBIs and score 100 runs in the same year since Joe DiMaggio in 1941-42.
1977: In the opener of the ALCS, home runs by Hal McRae, John Mayberry and Al Cowens lead the Royals to a 7-2 triumph over the Yankees.
1963: Fans attending the first World Series game at Dodger Stadium see a pitching duel between Don Drysdale and Jim Bouton. A first-inning run is all Los Angeles need to take a 3-0 Series lead.
1962: Jack Sanford's 3-hitter handcuffs New York and evens the WS at 1-1. Matty Alou's RBI grounder and Willie McCovey's home run off Ralph Terry account for San Francisco's 2-0 win.
1961: The Yankees fall to Cincinnati 6-2, as Joey Jay's 4-hitter' Gordy Coleman's 2-run homer and 2 RBI hits by Johnny Edwards lead the Reds, who even the WS at one game each.
1960: In a portent of things to come, Bill Mazeroski's 2-run 5th-inning home run off Jim Coates is the difference as Pittsburgh beat New York 6-4 for the Bucs' first postseason win since 1925. Roy Face survives a 2-run 9th-inning Elston Howard blast to preserve Vern Law's victory.
1958: Milwaukee go up 3 games to one with a 3-0' 2-hit shutout by Warren Spahn' who allows just 2 hits. The Braves stop Hank Bauer's 17-game WS hitting streak' dating back to 1956.
1957: The Yankees score 5 in the 7th to cap a 12-3 win' as Don Larsen' in relief of Bob Turley, tops Bob Buhl. Tony Kubek becomes only the second rookie in history to hit 2 HRs in a Series game. The Yanks now lead 2 games to 1.
1956: The Dodgers come back from a 6-0 deficit in Game 2 to win 13-8 behind the sterling relief pitching of Don Bessent. Yogi Berra becomes the first player in World Series history to hit a grand slam in a losing cause as he sends one over the right field screen off Don Newcombe in the 2nd. The Series is now even at 1-1.
1952: At the Stadium' the seesaw World Series battle continues as Brooklyn win 6-5 in 11 innings when Duke Snider doubles home Billy Cox. Carl Erskine goes the distance for the win, which gives the Bums a 3-2 lead.
1951: The Yanks and Eddie Lopat even up the WS by winning 3-1 over Larry Jansen. Lopat scatters 5 hits' three by Monte Irvin. Irvin has now hit safely 7 straight times in two games. Mickey Mantle is injured in the 5th inning when he steps on an exposed water sprinkler while chasing a Willie Mays fly ball. Mantle is taken off the field on a stretcher and the injury to his knee will plague him throughout his career. He will undergo the first of 6 knee operations.
1950: Allie Reynolds and the Yankees win again over ace Robin Roberts, 2-1 in 10 innings in Philadelphia. Joe DiMaggio's leadoff homer in the 10th is the game winner.
1949: In the Series opener at the Stadium' the New York Yankees and Allie Reynolds beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 1-0 on Tommy Henrich's 9th-inning blast off Don Newcombe. Newk had struck out 11 and walked none before Henrich's shot, the first walkoff home run in World Series history. Allie Reynolds gives up only 2 hits and fans 9. There will be 10 more WS walkoff homers this century' including 2 that win the Series.
1947: Al Gionfriddo's magnificent catch robs Joe DiMaggio of a home run that would have tied the game 6 of the World Series at the Stadium. The Dodgers go on to win 8-6. There is another Fall Classic attendance record' with a crowd of 74'065 on hand to watch the game.
1943: Many ML players have gone into the war' including several key Yankees and Cardinals. Nevertheless' both these clubs are back in the Series. New York win the opener at the Stadium 4-2 behind Spud Chandler' who will later be named 1943 AL MVP. Joe Gordon homers off Max Lanier.
1942: Whitey Kurowski's 2-run HR in the 9th inning gives St. Louis a 4-2 WS triumph and enables the Cardinals to upset the Yankees in 5 games.
1939: In game 2 of the World Series' Yankees pitcher Monte Pearson does not allow a base hit until the 8th when Ernie Lombardi singles with one out. The Reds are shut out 4-0. Babe Dahlgren hits a home run and a double off losing pitcher Bucky Walters to pace the Bombers.
1938: Bill Dickey ties a WS record with 4 hits' as Red Ruffing pitches the Yankees to a 3-1 win in the Series opener at Wrigley Field.
1936: The Giants score 3 in the 1st on five hits' then stave off a final Yankee rally to score a 5-4 victory for Hal Schumacher in 10 innings. The Yanks still lead the Series 3 games to 2.
1928: Grover Cleveland Alexander (16-9) faces George Pipgras (24-13) in game 2 of the World Series. Lou Gehrig unloads a 3-run homer in the first. The Cards tie in the 2nd' but Pipgras shuts them out on 2 hits the rest of the way. Alexander is nicked for one in the 2nd and driven to cover by a 4-run outburst in the 3rd. The New Yorkers register a 9-3 triumph to take a two games to none Series lead. Babe Ruth is 2-for-3' and Gehrig has 3 more RBI.
1927; With 158 HRs' a .307 team BA' and 6 winning pitchers' the Yankees are the Series favourite. But the Pirates are no pushovers, with a team BA of .305. Outfielder Kiki Cuyler' a .309 hitter' will see no action in the Series – he is passed over for a lighter-hitting replacement as he and manager Donie Bush feud.
Pittsburgh's Ray Kremer (19-8) opens the WS against Waite Hoyt (22-7). In the 3rd' 2 walks and 2 Pirates errors help the Yankees to 3 runs and a 4-1 lead. With 9 hits' the Pirates come close' but the final is 5-4 New York.
1926; Jesse Haines (below) stifles the Yanks on 5 hits, while the Cards knock out Dutch Ruether (14-9 on the year' 2-5 for the Yanks) in the 5th. Haines helps his own cause with a 2-run homer in the 4th. The 4-0 St. Louis win gives them the Series lead, two games to one.
1912: The New York Highlanders conclude a dismal campaign (their second last-place finish, and their last to date with 100 or more losses) by playing their final game in Hilltop Park, an 8-6 victory over the Senators, with the win going to Ray Keating; Hal Chase's three-run homer is they key blow. This is also the club's last game under their current name – they will return in 1913 as the Yankees.
1909: At Hilltop Park, the Highlanders and Giants play a game for the benefit of Sam Crane, a Giants' minor league prospect who was recently convicted of killing his girlfriend and her male companion in a hotel bar; he will eventually secure a long-term position at shortstop on the Sing-Sing prison team. Christy Mathewson (below) and Joe McGinnity are the opposing pitchers. The season is over for the Highlanders, but Matty pitches even though his Giants are still playing.

The Dutch House was an experiment in what Denieuwegeneratie refers to as both sustainable hardware and software. Sustainable hardware consists of locally-sourced lark timber used to frame the ample facade that allows residents to peer out into the woods, unfinished concrete that was necessary to retain the mountain, and a canopy that regulates sunshine year-round.
Sustainable software installed by Arup in Amsterdam consists of the photovoltaic panels that power the home, LED lighting that reduces overall energy consumption (bolstering the effect of the earth home's insulating properties), and a wood pellet used to keep the home warm during wicked winters. CO2 monitored ventilation ensures that the barest amount of energy is consumed to keep air quality high and a greywater circuit allows this family to keep their water footprint low as well.
There is much more to say about this extraordinary home, which showcases bedrooms decked out to suit quirky individual tastes. Part of the home has a cave-like feel, though slits in the mountain permit daylighting, while the living areas are open and vast – like the forest beyond. All in all, if this is an experiment, sign us up for the next round of tests!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
G3 - RUSSIA/US - US-Russia 'reset' to remain under Putin: White House
Released on 2012-10-16 17:00 GMT
|2011-09-26 04:25:42
(AFP) - 7 hours ago
WASHINGTON - A "reset" of US-Russian ties will go forward regardless of
who Moscow's next president is, the White House said, amid news that Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin could return to the Kremlin next year.
"The reset has always been about national interests and not individual
personalities, said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor, in a
statement sent to AFP on Sunday, reacting to news of an impending job swap
between Prime Minister Vladmir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev.
Medvedev, a Putin protege who took over the Kremlin from his mentor in
2008, announced on Saturday that he would step aside for the incumbent
prime minister in the March 2012 polls and instead serve as government
The job swap will allow Putin to extend his brand of strongman rule that
has sometimes antagonized the West potentially up to 2024 while Medvedev
can press on with his trademark program of modernization as head of
Although Putin expressed strong criticism of the United States during his
presidency and saw ties between Moscow and Washington erode during that
time, "it's worth noting that Vladimir Putin was Prime Minister throughout
the reset," Vietor said.
"We are quite confident that we can continue to build on the progress made
during the Obama Administration."
Although he acknowledged that the United States continues to "differ
openly and honestly with Russia on several issues," Vietor said "we will
continue to build on the progress of the reset whoever serves as the next
president of Russia."
As the candidate of United Russia, Putin is almost certain to win the
country's top job in the March elections due to the emasculated state of
the Russian opposition and the Kremlin's control over the media.
But Vietor cautioned that "the question of who will be the next Russian
president should be for the Russian people to determine."
If Putin again serves the two maximum consecutive terms, he could stay in
power until 2024, by which time he would be 72 and the longest-serving
Moscow leader since dictator Josef Stalin.

It's quite possibly down to how you use purifying brew, I tend to favour using it right after I take a shadowy attack to to the face. I believe monks tend to prefer Haste/hit/exp as secondary stats and tend to either those stats or agility, stamina or a combination of all of the above. Crit/dodge/parry tend to be bad; monks have poor scaling with parry rating, and whilst crit and dodge are nice 1agility is worth 0.9crit rating and 0.9 dodge rating and 2AP, so if you;re ever in the place to choose crit or dodge or agility, you go for agility as it really gets you more raw stats, even with the gems having twice as much secondary stat.

Upcoming Events
NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
As reported last week in Education Week, the National Research Councilan arm of the congressionally chartered National Academiesis undertaking three studies aimed at exploring how students most effectively learn science and how it is best taught and tested. Specifically, the council has convened three committees of experts to work on the projects, two of which are expected to be finished next year. One of those short-term studies, on testing, will address a topic of increasing urgency to states; No Child Left Behind requires states to assess students in science by the 2007-08 school year. The goal of the project is to provide states with "practical advice" about how to design tests that will ask students to demonstrate a broad range of skills in sciencewithout encouraging school districts or states to scale back their curricula in the subject. The other short-term study, on teaching, will examine the role that laboratories should play in the high school classroom. The goal of the project is to determine the proper balance between classroom experimentation and more direct forms of instruction. Meanwhile, the two-and-a-half-year study on learning will focus on increasing our understanding of how students learn science, with a special emphasis on kindergarten through eighth-grade. The committee working on the project will examine existing research, identify areas in which new research is needed, and determine what the body of work suggests about how science subjects should be taught. For more information, please go to http://www7.nationalacademies.org/cfe/.
Shifting gears, the Department has published a brochure titled "Character Education: Our Shared Responsibility." The brochure, printed in English and Spanish, emphasizes the importance of character education and informs parents, educators, and citizens of the Department's involvement in character education. To order the brochure, please go to http://www.edpubs.org/.
Paige Resigns, Spellings Nominated
On November 5, the Friday after Election Day, Secretary Paige submitted his letter of resignation to President Bush. "I am very proud of the many accomplishments achieved by the talented and committed men and women of the United States Department of Education," the Secretary said, asserting, among other items:
- The No Child Left Behind Act's reform initiatives have been well launched. Despite highly financed and organized opposition, a penchant for waiver requests, and other types of delays, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have approved accountability plans, and all states are working vigorously to gain and maintain compliance with NCLB law and regulations.
- The Department has held the line on Elementary and Secondary Education Act compliance issues and has, for the first time in the Department's history, exercised its authority to withhold administrative funds from states for clear failure to comply with the substance of the ESEA.
- The national education culture is changing. Across the nation, the education dialogue is now about results, and less about inputs.
- The stubbornand I believe unacceptableacademic achievement gap between minority students and their white peers, essentially stagnant throughout the period between 1992 and 2000, has begun to close.
- Minority test scores, especially in the big urban centers of our nation, are beginning to rise. The percentage of African-American and Hispanic fourth-graders who know their reading and math basics increased more substantially from 2000 to 2003 than in the previous eight years combined.
The resignation is effective January 20, the end of the President's first term, although the Secretary agreed to continue to serve "until such time as my successor is confirmed." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/staff/bios/paige-resignation.html.
As expected, President Bush has nominated Margaret Spellings to be the next Secretary of Education. Spellings currently serves as Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy. She is responsible for the development and implementation of policy on education, health, housing, justice, labor, transportation, and other elements of President Bush's domestic agenda. Prior to her White House appointment, she worked for six years as Governor Bush's Senior Advisor, with responsibility for developing and implementing education policy. Her state work included the Texas Reading Initiative, the Student Success Initiative to eliminate social promotion, and one of the nation's strongest school assessment and accountability systems. For more information, please go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/11/20041117-4.html.
Binational Agreement
One of the highlights of the Secretary's term has been his ongoing relationship with Mexico Secretary of Education Tamez Guerra. On November 8-9, Paige and Guerra co-chaired the latest meeting of the U.S.-Mexico Binational Commission's Education Working Group and renewed formal bilateral cooperation through the signing of Annex VIII to a Memorandum of Understanding between the nations. This agreement outlines ways in which the U.S. and Mexico will work together to strengthen educational opportunities for Hispanic students in the following areas: language acquisition, migrant education, special education, vocational education, higher education, education technology, visas for educational and cultural visits, teacher exchange options, and the development of bicultural study programs. The U.S. engages in more education-related cooperation with Mexico than with any other nation, primarily due to geographic proximity and the very large U.S. student population of Mexican origin. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/11/11092004a.html.
Grants Forecast
Be sure to review the FY 2005 Grants Forecast at http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/find/edlite-forecast.html, which lists virtually all programs and competitions under which the Department has invited or expects to invite applications for awards and provides actual or estimated dates for the transmittal of applications under these programs. The lists are in the form of chartsorganized according to principal program officesand will be updated regularly through July 2005. (This document is advisory only and is not an official application notice of the Department of Education.)
Note: The agency's Advanced Placement grant programs support state and local efforts to increase access to Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes and tests for low-income students. AP Incentive Grants, awarded to states and school districts, must be used to expand access for low-income individuals to prepare for and succeed in AP or IB courses (intent 12/15, closes 1/5). AP Test Fee Grants, awarded solely to states, cover all or part of the cost of test fees for needy children who are enrolled in AP or IB classes and plan to take AP or IB tests (intent 12/1, closes 12/13). For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oii/funding.html.
Dropout Rates
"Dropout Rates in the United States: 2001" is the most recent in a series of reports by the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) on high school dropout and completion rates that started in 1988. Estimates of rates in 2001 and time series data on high school dropout and completion rates for 1972 through 2001 are included. The unsurprising finding? While "progress" was made during the 1970s and 1980s in reducing high school dropout rates and increasing completion rates, these rates have since stagnated. In fact, from 1990 to 2001, between 347,000 and 544,000 students in grades 10-12 left school each year without successfully completing a high school program. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2005/dropout2001/.
Note: Admitting the limitation of its data (for example, current data does not separate regular diploma holders from GED recipients), "NCES is currently working with experts in the field of high school outcomes research to develop graduation rate statistics that can be produced on an annual basis...."
College Quality
The 2004 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) report, self-supported through institutional participation fees, summarizes the views of 163,000 first-year and senior students at 472 four-year colleges and universities on five critical benchmarks: (1) level of academic challenge, (2) active and collaborative learning, (3) student-faculty interaction, (4) enriching educational experiences, and (5) supportive campus environment. On the one hand, only 11 percent of full-time students say they spend more than 25 hours per week studyingthe amount of time that most faculty members say is necessary to succeed in collegeyet 40 percent of students say they earn mostly A's and 41 percent say they earn mostly B's. On the other hand, three-fifths of seniors and 37 percent of first-year students do community service or volunteer work and, since the survey's inception in 1999, the percentage of students who say they have held "serious" conversations with peers espousing different political, religious, or social views has increased from 45 percent to 55 percent.

Some lovely hand drawn type treatments, great graphics and a neat little portfolio website all join together to make this a fine selection of work. I'm loving the Western Union piece here. C'est fantastique! All coming out of French studio, Tabas. A little Gallic style for you.
