no with respect what i meant is i would like to see monster cock on them
I have just made this :P
Nice work hmmm25!!!!!
Maybe I'm missing something here but, considering the fact that Mark Salling was 28(I think) when he became famous, when was ever not mature? I'm missing something.
That aside, sexy-ass picks, wcork I dunno who has more talent, you or the photos.
Could I request some fakes of Irish rugby stars, Johhny Sexton & Gordon D'Arcy(together or apart). There really is nothing like ogling a massive, hulking man with a massive cock and/or cheeks spread wide to expose that tight pussy. I love rugby players
I've also made (and posted on my blog) an image of Jake Wood & David Witts from Eastenders but I did'nt know whether I could post it here or not as it involves piss play. Anyone care to let me know if I can post it??
Anyway, Matt Smith, David Tennant, Arthur Darvill & Christopher Eccleston. Not my best work, but I'm happy with it... So y'all should be too.
Follow my blog: http://3dirtybit.blogspot.co.uk/
Love it 8arry0! Nice work!
Please Gleen MCCuen!!!!!

Love your work iggyboo! You always amaze me
Goodbye to all the friends I have made on here. I am tired of people on this site trying to change me from giving my honest opinions on things. I will not be coming back to this site again. I am glad for the time we got to joke and post hot pictures, but there is just to many bad people on these forums for me to continue being apart of it. Goodbye
Check out more fakes at http://fantastiquefakes.blogspot.com
That Teen Wold was awsome. Major praise for all of our amazing fakers.
hmmm25: lovely Dan and Rupert. I thought Rupert looked a bit soppy during his long hair period; much nicer when he shortened it.
8arry0: I don't like piss play (and don't find it quite as disgusting as scat), but appreciate that some people do. There haven't been many on this thread, and one faker kindly re-did the fake without the piss, which was generous of him: try doing one with and one without! I was surprised that people objected to the mild bondage fakes - we shouldn't be so fussy about seeing only what each of us likes.
iggyboo: I've never been that keen on Patrick Dempsey, but that's a hot set; very nice.
Sorry we're losing you Pokemaniac. Some of the comments here are objectionable and hurtful if you let them get to you (and I believe worse things are said in private messages). Ironically, it can be the people who most vehemently object to what you say who can be the most dogmatic and insulting. Personally, I couldn't give a monkey's, and it's water off a duck's back, but I'm sure it can be annoying for fakers who spend time and effort to please us. Do let us know if you're going to feature your fakes elsewhere - disable the comments!
iluvjsumpter: that's a dishy Logan/Cole, lots of smoothness, yummy!

From the November 12 edition of United Stations Radio Network's The Lou Dobbs Show:
Loading the player reg...
In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Right-wing media outlets used a flawed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper to attack unemployment insurance (UI), claiming that the paper proved that UI disincentives work. In fact, experts criticized the paper's methodology and data, and one of the paper's co-authors admitted that most UI recipients look for work while receiving benefits.
The total coverage of climate change on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox continued to increase for the third consecutive year, according to a Media Matters analysis, yet still remained below the level seen in 2009. Coverage on the networks' Sunday shows reached a six-year high after a group of senators demanded they provide more coverage of the issue, but the Sunday shows still infrequently interviewed scientists.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
BlueAnt continues to enlarge its voice-controlled headset family with the BlueAnt Q2, which is the successor to the much-lauded Q1 that it introduced last year. The Q2 is dubbed a "smart" headset that is designed to take advantage of most smartphones (specifically iPhones, Android handsets, and BlackBerrys) with its advanced text-to-speech and voice-control features, but it will work with regular phones, too. In many ways, the Q2 features are similar to the T1, but it is far sleeker in appearance. The BlueAnt Q2 will retail for $129.
When you place the Q1 and the Q2 side by side, the two headsets don't look too much like each other. Measuring around 2.17 inches long by 0.63 inch wide by 0.27 inch thick, the Q2 does have the same dimensions and slim profile as its predecessor, but that's where the similarities end. Instead of a sleek gunmetal exterior, the Q2 has a large piece of mesh plastic that covers most of the front. As we understand it, this acts as a wind guard that protects the headset's two microphones. Also located underneath the mesh is a tiny LED light that glows when the headset is activated.
On the front is a skinny multifunction button, which is different from the Q1's round logo-adorned one. The skinny volume keys are on the right, and the charger jack is on top of the headset. Though all the buttons are very thin, we thought they jutted out enough so they were still easy to find and press by feel. As for how to turn the headset on and off, there's actually a very small slider switch located just behind the charger jack that acts as the power toggle.
The earpiece on the BlueAnt Q2 is similar to the ones on previous Bluetooth headsets. The Q2 comes with a variety of different silicone earbuds to fit your preference; the ones with the stability ear loop can be worn without the plastic ear hook, whereas the ones that don't have this loop do require the ear hook so the headset won't fall off your ear. You can twist the earbud left or right to fit in either the left or right ear. Like with other BlueAnt headsets, we thought the fit was nice and snug, though it does take a bit of maneuvering before you get it right. The Q2 also has different-size earbuds for a more customized fit.
We paired the BlueAnt Q2 with the Apple iPhone 3G and the Samsung Intercept. Once you pair the headset with your phone, it will automatically attempt to download up to 2,000 of your phone's contacts so it will be able to announce the caller's name whenever you get an incoming call from someone on the list. For example, it will announce "Call from Nicole" if Nicole is in our phone book. We found this feature rather useful, but we did wish the announcement of the caller was a little louder and slower so we could catch it easier.

2012 Sienna Hydrolocked Engine
Has anyone ever had their 2011+ Sienna engine hydrolock after driving through heavy rain? It happened to my wife recently with our 1-week old 2012 Sienna with just 400 mile on the odo. Googled the topic and found a discussion on another site. It happened to two others within this year. One in San Fransisco in Feb/2012 and another in Miami in May/2012. Hydrolock is when the engne sucks in water and dies. Stuff bends inside and ruins the engine. It's not covered under the new car warranty. The 2012 Sienna air intake is up front and, in my opinion, seems prone to suck in every drop of rain splash that gets near it.
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735New name, same wife? Just kidding. I'm here to haunt you.
To bring everyone up to speed, I did some comparisons on the air intact tract & air cleaner box on the 2GR-FE engine as used in the Gen-2 (2007-2010) Sienna verses the same engine as installed on the Gen-3 vans.
The newer models appear like they could be more prone to channeling water that might make it up under the hood front lip to the engine. Low spots, routing, resonator chamber placement, size and positioning of the air cleaner box & filter on the older models look to provide plenty of opportunity for separation (water to drop out and drain away). -
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735Looking into my crystal ball and saying along with Bullwinkle: "Eenie meenie chili beanie, the spirits are about to speak."
You are just too easily impressed! Part of good engineering practice is a strong reliance on research - both original and prior art. Stated another way - I'm really really really good at looking things up!!
So, just for fun, I went looking for information on the Air Cleaner Assembly for the 2006 Avalon (as that matches the year of your old Sienna), and voila, it shares almost every single part! -
missmy06 Posts: 7Both. She said there were puddles on the main roads that she drove over on her way back home. And there was standing water in some areas when she entered our subdivision. Our subdivision isn't flat so there were areas that appeared to be deeper that she avoided and areas that had no standing water. Based on her description, I imagine she drove through approx 6" standing water at 5-10mph when the engine stalled.
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735The height of the chin spoiler is likely the culprit that induced a wave that forced water up and into the grill. Actually over the grill as the intake is on top of the radiator upper support. If the spoiler cleared the water, I cannot see any way that tire action could possibly do this. Tire splash tends to go out to the side. Not sure on the new models, but on my '08 the lowest spot is around 6-7" off the ground. The water would have to be a few inches above that to create the 'snow plow' wave to force it vertically. I'd guess, and just a guess depending on speed that 10" could do it?
The only other scenario would be a vehicle coming from the other direction at sufficient speed. Tire splash from another vehicle has more than once sent water onto my windshield from hitting standing water of only a few inches. -
missmy06 Posts: 7Well there were other vehicles driving in the sub along with my wife. But because of the heavy rain none were going fast. My wife's Sienna stalled right after she turned onto a street and she estimates she was doing 5-10mph at most. Other cars driving past were probably doing similar speeds. But she did note that there was splash from both her van and the other cars going by. And I guess in some respect I should feel lucky because it happened in our sub and everyone was going too slow to cause any crashes. Had it happened on the main road with faster speeds it could have turned out much worse. And had we been on vacation and out of town on unfamiliar roads it could have been worse yet. As for the damage, the dealer has yet to tell me what all happened inside the engine. They told my insurance adjuster that they could manually rotate the engine "backward but not forward". One other bit of luck is that my insurance (Liberty) has approved all the repairs that the dealer said they'd need to do to bring our one week old van back to new condition. And that's with all new parts, not aftermarket. And Toyota said that the engine would be certifiable since the repair is done by a dealer using new parts. I'm hoping that will help with the resale value down the road.
What I find disappointing in all this is that Toyota had a robust design on the 2nd generation Sienna but chose to go with a more vulnerable design on the new Sienna. All at the customer's expense. -
missmy06 Posts: 7You make a good point, fibber2, about the chin spoiler. On our van the chin spoiler, if I am thinking of the correct part, had separated from the front bumper on the right side. From what I recall the intake is on the left side of the van but maybe a half-way dragging chin spoiler channeled more water up into the vicinity of the intake.

• K-factor support
Mean-opinion-score (MOS) information can now be received from the phone through Cisco Unified CallManager. Previous releases relied on the Cisco 1040 Sensors to collect real-time information from the switch to gather MOS score information. Now with the K-factor support, information can be gathered from the Cisco Unified CallManager after the call completes-enabling the customer to have a K-factor MOS score collection across the enterprise and use Cisco 1040 Sensors strategically for real-time data gathering.
• Additional tests
Cisco Unified Operations Manager has always had the ability to act like a phone to test functions. New tests have been added, such as the ability to perform end-to-end calls from two actual phones instead of requiring one end to be the Cisco Unified Operations Manager software. Other tests, such as phone registration, off-hook, conference calls, hold, park, transfer, as well as dial plan tests, etc., have been added to the list of tests the operations manager can invoke.
• Acceptance tests
Acceptance tests have been added to Cisco Unified Operations Manager. When deploying a new site (Day Zero) with Cisco Unified Communications, technical support teams want the ability to test to ensure that the configuration changes were successfully made, rather than being made aware that the changes were not successfully made through user complaints. Tests can be scheduled to run over the weekend or in the evening after moves, adds, or changes were made. This testing can find errors before users come to work in the morning to use their phones.
• Video endpoint enhancements
Cisco Unified Operations Manager can now automatically discover, report on, and generate alerts for video endpoints.

When is Administrative Professionals Day?
Administrative Professionals Week
2015: April 19-25
2016: April 24-30
2017: April 23-29
Administrative Professionals Day
2015: April 22
2016: April 27
2017: April 26
Administrative Professionals Day/Week was originally organized in 1952 as "National Secretaries Week" by the National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals) in conjunction with public relations executive Harry Klemfuss and a consortium of office product manufacturers. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace, and to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers.
The association successfully campaigned U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer to proclaim the first National Secretaries Week on June 1-7, 1952. He designated Wednesday, June 4, as National Secretaries Day. Sawyer, Barrett and Woodbridge participated in ceremonies held in Washington, D.C.
The idea began with Mary Barrett, president of the National Secretaries Association, now called IAAP, and C. King Woodbridge, president of Dictaphone Corporation. They served on a council addressing a national shortage of skilled office workers. Together with Harry Klemfuss, public relations account executive at Young & Rubicam, they originated the idea for a National Secretaries Week.
IAAP created National Secretaries Week (now Administrative Professionals Week) with two objectives in mind: to recognize "the secretary, upon whose skills, loyalty, and efficiency the functions of business and government offices depend," and to call attention "through favorable publicity, to the tremendous potential of the secretarial career."
Administrative Professionals Week is always held annually during the last full week in April. Administrative Professionals Day is always held the Wednesday of that week.
Many people who contribute to the workplace in a variety of settings. IAAP defines administrative professionals as "individuals who are responsible for administrative tasks and coordination of information in support of an office-related environment and who are dedicated to furthering their personal and professional growth in their chosen profession."
Research shows that many workers around the world still hold the "secretary" job title; however, many alternative titles have become more popular, such as administrative assistant, office coordinator, administrative specialist, executive assistant, and office manager.
According to IAAP members, administrative support personnel prefer observances that recognize and provide opportunities for learning and growth. Employers can facilitate professional development for admins by supporting:
- Tuition reimbursement to attend college classes and work toward a degree.
- Membership and participation in professional organizations.
- Reimbursement for online training programs in technology, administrative, and management skills.
- Registration for appropriate conferences, seminars, and continuing education workshops.
- Attainment of professional certification. IAAP's Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) or Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) programs are widely recognized standards of excellence.
- Supporting IAAP chapter events. Events can be accessed from the link at the left.
- Additional gift suggestions include business-related items, such as personalized business cards, desktop name-plate, gift certificate, ergonomically correct accessories, computer hardware/software upgrade, or monetary bonus for exemplary performance.

Great to have another pair of ears!

Comments about HearAll™ Assessment Recorder:
I love to use the assessment recorder during science experiments. I am able to make sure the students are working together instead of one being the boss. Now that I have it, I couldn't live without it.

Great Product!
By TeachingHappilyEverAfter
from Nashville, TN
About Me Education Oriented, Teacher
This nifty product has various microphones to pick up many sounds at once. That means you can record a group at work and hear everything that is happening. I really enjoyed using the HearAll for Reader's Theater. The quality of the recordings were good for classroom use, and the device is incredibly easy to operate. I also love that it can record up to 64 tracks at one time, no matter how long they are! Here are a few ways that I am using the device in my classroom:We record group work to share on our class website. Students were very engaged and motivated when the HearAll Assessment Recorder was around!Students record themselves reading and then listen to the playback. They rate their own fluency. We can also create class audiobooks that will be transferred to the Listening Station.The HearAll Assessment Recorder improves classroom management. By providing more accountability in small groups, students stay on task and more focused.Overall, I think this product could be an asset in any classroom. I particularly like the students' awareness of fluency when they use the device. I think it would be interesting to record a student throughout the year and create a digital portfolio utilizing the HearAll Recorder. I have taught a student in the past that had Selective Mutism; this device would be ideal for assistive communication.My students were using the recorder independently with ease after a quick modeling lesson. It is very lightweight and made of plastic; it also appears to be very durable. I also like that it has built-in rechargeable batteries, and that it plugs into your USB drive. I think the price is a little steep, but I do believe that it is a good, quality product that would be helpful in any classroom.**Learning Resources sent me a HearAll Assessment Recorder to review.
Handy Little Device!
By The Frugal Teacher
from Fort Worth, Texas
Another great tool from from Learning Resources is the HearAll Assessment Recorder. This handy little device works great with groups and allows me to go back and listen to the recordings and plan what I will work on the next time I meet with the group. I also like that it can hold up to 4 hours of recordings!
Hear-All Recorder: Teacher's Best Friend
By Ms.A
from Center Point, AL
About Me First grade teacher
This device has been the centerpiece of all of my assessments (small group and individual conferences) since the beginning of school.How do I use it you ask?The beginning of the year I used it to record my students reading.Recording my students allowed me to revisit anyone I had questions about, to rate them for fluency and to take a closer look at my running records. I was able to pinpoint which early strategies they had in place and which strategies we'd work on in small group and individual conferences.Weekly Fluency Grade: Starting the second half of the year I'll give my students a bi-weekly fluency grade. They will use the recorder and tape themselves reading one of our fluency passages. Then I'll go back and listen and rate them along a fluency scale.I was given this product to review but my opinions are 100% my own.
Your Second Set of Ears

from St. Louis, MO
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
This thing is awesome!! Small, lightweight and durable!!! Also, perfect for little hands....great size and easy to use!! I'm very excited to have this to use for reading groups, assessments and during center time! Now, all kids will be on task with the help of this little gadget!! It also picks up sound VERY well. Sounds very clear-notice the speakers on all 4 sides-greatly cuts down on background noise. The BEST part of this is...NO BATTERIES reequired!! Just plug it into your computer to charge it and to easily upload your files!I highly recommend this product to any teacher!
Be in more than one place at a time!?
By Mrs. Magee of First Grade Brain
from Madisonville, KY
I love the tag line – "Who says teachers can't be in two places at once?" Gosh, if only I could physically be in more than one place at a time…. I could get so much more done! With the hearAll Assessment Recorder I may not be able to physically be in two places but I can accomplish more than one task at a time! The hearAll is like a tape recorder without the tape. All you need to do is turn it on, hit record and it starts recording right away. Now, if you're thinking, "So…how can I use this in a classroom environment?" let me just tell you - the possibilities are endless! When I first introduced the hearAll into my classroom, I told my students that during our reading station time I wanted to make sure they were all on task. I would place the hearAll on a different table each day to see what they were discussing. My students LOVE it! They beg for the hearAll to be on their table so they can show me they are on task and following directions. Of course, that's one simple idea but there are so many more uses for the hearAll. Here are a few of my favorite ideas:Use it to record student reading conferences (track fluency and comprehension), Use it to record students reading sight words, skip counting, reciting their ABC's, etc., Use it to conduct "interviews," Use it to improve classroom management and refine your teaching practices (track positive and negative student interactions). Thanks to Learning Resources for letting me review this awesome product!
Great Resource For Differentiating
By Differentiated Kindergarten
from Cadillac Michigan
A couple of weeks ago I received a package from the wonderful people at Learning Resources. I know I have a Christmas list with pages of their catalog dog eared with the items I'm hoping Santa will put under my Christmas tree. So you can imagine how excited I was to open up that box and find this little tiny handheld device that is essentially my little clone. . . a mini assessment ME. It's real name . . . the Hear All Assessment Recorder.This little device is not only a fabulous little recorder . . . it has saved me a ton of time and it has a ton a great uses. My kinders are very motivated to pass their sight words and, with this little device, I discovered that if I place a little green finger nail polish (yes it really comes in that color) on the first word on their sight cards that I want them to read and a red bit of polish on the last word, I can get through every and any kiddo that wants to recite their words during my short rest time.They sit down, say their name and away they go. Afterwords I can play it back and know who has passed and can move onto the next set of words.It's also great for my high fliers that are reading reading reading . . . I can set up a station just for the HEAR ALL and students can read their selected text and I play it back for them, talk about fluency and intonation and I can even save it as part of a digital record or assessment piece to share with parents. It hooks right up to your computer and downloads easy peasy. When students are 'reading to someone' as part of Daily 5, I can eaves drop in to make sure they are checking for understanding and 'coaching' each other appropriately.I even have used it for those kinders who are struggling with counting to 100 and wanting desperately to join the "100s Club" in my class. Let's face it, it takes along time to listen to 26 kids count to 100, but if I set up the Hear All, every student who wants to count to 100 gets a chance. They can count into the HEAR ALL and then follow along with the 100s chart after to see where they missed a number. Using this device has absolutley helped me meet the readiness levels of ALL my students. Thanks for a useful and practical product!
Do you hear it?
By Charity

This handy little machine will allow you to document your students' learning gains like you never have before! Have you ever thought about putting together a digital portfolio for your students? If you haven't, no worries. But if you are thinking about it, this would be a wonderful tool to allow you to put the records together super easy!Reviewed on The Organized Classroom Blog 11-29-12
great tool for assessment
By Karen of PreKinders.com
from Georgia
About Me Pre-K teacher
The Hear All Recorder could be placed in any center in your classroom as an extra set of ears listening in on the children there. We all know preschool children learn by talking about what they're doing, so the recorder will let you listen in on those conversations. I could see it being useful in the Reading Center when children sit down with a book to "picture-read", when I'm in another area of the room.It would also be useful during small group times. I have 4 small groups going at once, with two of the groups working independently. I could place the recorder with one of the independent groups and listen in later on what took place in that group.The recording (or clips of the recording) could be added to a child's e-portfolio.Disclosure: I received a Hear All recorder from Learning Resources to review, however all opinions/statements are my own.

HearALL is a WINNER in the classroom!
By Amanda
from South Carolina
When this product first arrived, I was in awe of its lightweight and small size, yet it seems very durable. It is made for small children to use, as it doesn't contain any knobs or parts that could break off easily and the buttons are large and color-coded. Great design! The microphones pick up multiple voices with little background noise...perfect for our busy classroom! This device is perfect for using when my students are working in small groups for projects, reading readers' theater scripts together, and/or reading and holding book discussions in small groups. As a teacher, I often feel like I need to be in more than one place at a time and the HearALL helps me do just that! I can see if the groups I'm not meeting with were on task, working cooperatively, and what skills/strategies I need to work with them on when I do meet with them next...all by just playing back the recording of their interactions. I also love that it is so easy to transfer the recorded files to the computer. What an easy way to create podcasts or just share recordings with parents!There are many, many ways this device could be used in the classroom. My only problem is that now I need more of them! :)

An exhibit of work by artist Jose Zavala, of the southwest suburbs, is on display through April at the Donna Pope Gallery & Studio in Elmhurst.
♦ Through April, with an opening reception from 6:30-9:30 p.m. March 22
♦ Donna Pope Gallery & Studio,
185 N. York St., 2nd Floor, Elmhurst
♦ (708) 987-3366; angelart.net

Updated: April 16, 2013 3:13PM
The colors seem to dance off Jose Zavala's canvases. The messages within those vivid acrylic works are just as striking.
In the artist's evocative "Children of the Sun" series you see the struggles of the immigrant population — a barefoot pioneer doing hard labor ("Pionero"), a mother working day and night to support her family ("Madre Dia y Noche"), a young woman raising her child without a partner ("Alone").
Works from this series and Zavala's other equally impressive portraits, surreal works and other pieces are on display at Donna Pope Gallery & Studio in downtown Elmhurst.
Given the talent of this 41-year-old artist, it is startling to learn that until October, when he had a one-man show at the Addison Center for the Arts, no one but his family had seen his body of work.
More than 80 large canvases were crammed into every possible space in his apartment.
What is more surprising, though, when you hear Zavala's story, is he has lived long enough to show his work.
Now, Zavala is a happily married father of three, living in the southwest suburbs.
He has worked at the same scale calibrating company for nine years. That's a long way from his early years.
Zavala said he doesn't dwell on the past but he does look back from time to time recalling, "when I was sleeping in the public washrooms in the park on the West Side of Chicago at one point, drug-addicted.
"Look where I'm at now. It's a totally different life."
The artist was born in a Texas border town but grew up in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.
"My dad was an alcoholic, always job to job, sometimes not even working. My mom was a very Christian lady who was always working so I hardly saw my mom," Zavala related.
"I joined street gangs in Pilsen. At the age of 17, I was shot. I was in Mount Sinai Hospital fighting for my life. That brought me deeper into the gangs and into the drugs."
He credits Teen Challenge Chicago, a Christian program, with helping him start to change his way of thinking.
He lived there for 14 months but when Zavala returned to Pilsen, he once again abused drugs.
"I started selling drugs as I got older to make a living and I wound up getting addicted," he said. "My mom couldn't handle it. She threw me out."
While he was living in a park, a Navy recruiter asked him for directions and wound up recruiting him into the Navy at the age of 22.
Zavala spent 2 1/2 months in boot camp but was then kicked out of the Navy because he had drugs in his system.
People Zavala met in the Navy urged him to move to Seattle to get away from Chicago's drug and gang scene.
Discovering that his then-girlfriend, now his wife, wouldn't take him back because she wasn't convinced he was clean, Zavala moved to Seattle.
Life was different there. "Clean slate," he said. "I didn't have to be Mr. Tough Guy. All of the Christian things I learned — to be humble, to be nice — started kicking in.
"Little by little, I started turning my life around."
Zavala returned to Chicago 3 1/2 years later a changed man and married his loyal girlfriend.
He has been drawing and painting since he was a child.
His work first came to the attention of the art world when he hired photographer Audrey Lowe to help him create a catalog of his work.
"Her mouth dropped when she saw the painting of the prisoners in Mexico," Zavala recalled.
Lowe connected him with the Elmhurst Artists' Guild where he was encouraged to exhibit his work.
"I was embarrassed because these are all people with pedigrees in art and I've never studied art," Zavala said.
"I barely got a high school diploma — I got a GED. I felt really intimidated."
He finally relented and entered a painting of his niece dressed for Halloween in a Day of the Dead costume for a guild competition.
"I didn't win but Annette Leiber from Addison Center for the Arts was there," Zavala related.
She told him she needed artwork for an October exhibit celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month.
That's how he got that one-man show. To Leiber's surprise 200 people attended the opening.
He connected with Pope gallery owner Donna Pope when he came to see an exhibit at her gallery in November.
When she saw photos of his pieces, Pope thought they were "absolutely great," she said.
"I like the boldness and it rings a bell with me. I understand what he's saying with his work."
Zavala said when he was asked about his artist's statement, he said, "I hope people focus on my bright colors so they don't see my dark past."
Looking at Zavala's work it's easy to see his bright future.

I was intrigued by Health Valley Organic Multi-Grain Apple Cinnamon Square-Ems Cereal because the picture on the box looked just like Quaker Oatmeal Squares, which got a good review.This gem was hidden in the small Organic foods section of the supermarket, so I consider it a hidden find.
The cereal pieces were plump with plenty of texture from the oat and wheat flour. There's a tiny pocket of air sandwiched inside, reducing the density of the cereal, but the apple cinnamon flavor is quite pronounced and leaves me going yum! The squares are a perfect size to eat as a snack, but they will leave a residue on your fingers if you eat them that way.
A 1¼ cup serving of Health Valley Organic MultiGrain Apple Cinnamon Square Ems provides 210 calories, 3 grams of total fat, no saturated fat, 5% of the DV for sodium, 32% of the DV for fiber and 5 grams of protein. The cereal also notably provides 80% DV vitamin C per serving. The main sweetness of the cereal comes from organic evaporated cane juice and organic molasses, which sets this cereal apart from those that are made with high fructose corn syrups and such (see the ingredients list here).
A 10 ounce box, with about 5 servings, costs $4.25 at Kroger. This is mighty expensive compared to quite a few other cereals, however, this cereal tastes great and is nutritionally sound. I would definitely buy this cereal again (although I've been having trouble locating it recently), and I'll be keeping a keen eye out for coupons.

Welcome to Ecuador! This family adventure is based around variety and designed to please every type of traveler. We offer choices between more active and more relaxed activities, so whether you prefer history and culture or action and adventure, there's always an option for you.
Leaving behind coastal Guayaquil, we'll venture up into the Andean Highlands. Rolling hillsides nestle the ruins of lost civilizations such as the Cañari, a sophisticated society of astronomers who ruled this area for a thousand years before being conquered by the Incas. The Incas controlled the Andean Highlands for less than a century; the Spanish arrived in the 1530s, and by 1557 the rubble of Incan buildings was being used to create the colonial city of Cuenca. Throughout this trip, we have our days and activities split so that we have something for every age and activity level.
Our Mornings:
- Mangrove reserve boat trip for everybody
- Cojitambo Mountain and school trip
- Horseback riding OR local cooking demo
Our Afternoons:
- Rock climbing OR Biblian and Panama hat weavers
- Afternoon hot springs and farewell to Cuenca
Welcome to Darwin's Enchanted Islands…
Never connected to the mainland of South America, the Galapagos Islands were formed entirely through volcanic activity. Eruptions here can be almost annual, with the majority of volcanic activity being in the younger, westerly islands.
Isabela is the largest island in the Galapagos – bigger than all the rest combined. It is comprised of five major volcanoes, two of which are still active.
- Tortoise Breeding Center
- Frigate birds, blue-footed boobies, flamingos, and other birds
- Underwater volcanic caves and tunnels at Los Tuneles
- Hike on Tintoreras, with marine iguanas and reef sharks
- Lobería Chica and swimming with sea lions
- Or... relaxing day option
The Galapagos' second-largest island, Santa Cruz is very biologically diverse. It is home to the archipelago's largest human population, a massive array of animal life, and several different vegetation zones, like coastal, arid, transition, scalesia and miconia.
- Daphne Islands visit
- See giant tortoises up close
- Bahia Ballena visit
- Fishing excursion
- Relaxed day option – lounge on the beach
After one more activity in the Galapagos, we say goodbye to these enchanted isles and hello to mainland Ecuador once again!
- Farewell dinner
Mansión Alcázar, situated in the center of the quaint, old-fashioned city of Cuenca, oozes all the classical charm and grandeur one would expect from a renovated 1870s mansion. The hotel is beautifully decorated in an elegant colonial style, from the wrought iron balcony to the antique furniture, the crystal chandelier to the fountain and grand piano. Even the enchantingly colonial guest rooms have long drapes and chandeliers. Mansión Alcázar also has a bar called Le Bar and a restaurant called Casa Alonso, with an accomplished local chef cooking gourmet cuisine from Ecuador and elsewhere.
Hotel La Casa de Marita is a charming little family-run hotel on the island of Isabela, surrounded by white sand beaches, dazzling turquoise waters, and lush vegetation and gardens. The serene hotel is the perfect place for quiet reflection and relaxation, with inviting tropical colors and decorations, and hammocks and parasols on the beach to enjoy the golden sunshine. Due to the mom-and-pop nature of the property, each cozy room carries its own unique, quirky character.
The Angermeyer Waterfront Inn offers top-notch comfort and all the necessary amenities amid constant reminders that you're still in the Galapagos Islands, one of the most unique places in the world. The inn was built using lava rocks and drift wood for that authentic Galapagos feel, and each spacious room is equipped with cable television, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. Located just a 2-minute water taxi ride from the bustling Puerto Ayora, the property has its own dock and a waterfront restaurant prime for observing sea lions, sea turtles, and marine iguanas.

Attorney Andrew Keeney
Kaufman & Canoles, P.C.
Credit Unions and their members confront on a daily basis with social media.
A hot topic for credit unions is social media, but it has its risks, especially potential consumer risks. There are marketing and advertising issues. There are privacy issues. Add to the significant risk areas the effort to deal with compliance risks and legal risks, along with reputation risks and privacy rights. Our speaker; Andy Keeney, a nationally recognized credit union attorney believes that the biggest risk is a credit union's reputation risk. With just one poor review or negative comment on social media, years of a credit union's success can be undermined. Come and learn more about these compliance risks and what steps your credit union can undertake to minimize the risks.
About Andrew Keeney, Kaufman and Canoles, P.C.
Andy currently serves as the General Counsel for numerous credit unions, he is an approved and preferred special counsel for several credit union insurance companies and has been a specially retained attorney by NCUA.

Preparing for entrance exams, years after undergrad.
As if taking a standardized test wasn't hard enough, imagine taking one after being out of the classroom for 10 years. That's what Northwestern University law student Sarah Streit Milam did, and she isn't alone.
According to Lee Weiss, director of graduate programs at Kaplan Test Prep, about 12 percent of people who take the GRE are between ages 31 and 40; 7 percent are 40 and older; and about 48 percent are between ages 23 and 30. "When you look at people 30 years old, they have a significant gap between their undergraduate experience and taking this test," says Mr. Weiss. "If you haven't taken a standardized test for a long time, rust builds up and you get out of practice. You need those fundamental skills back."
After graduating with both a master's and bachelor's degree in accounting from Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina, Ms. Milam went to work in public accounting and finance with large corporations. However, she could never get her dream of attending law school out of her mind. "I always thought about going to law school," shares Ms. Milam. "It was something I knew I wanted to do, but wasn't ready right after school. As my career progressed, and as I moved up, it became harder and harder to take time away from work. I got to a point where I never stopped thinking about law school, and realized I needed to go ahead and try."
Ms. Milam knew she needed some help, so she enrolled in an online test prep course, Manhattan LSAT. "It was conducted like a conference call with PowerPoint, so it was something I was used to, coming from the corporate world," she explains. "It worked really well for me." Although it seemed Ms. Milam was at a disadvantage, having taken the exam in her early 30s, she believes she would have done worse had she taken it right out of college.
"People have this perception that if you go away from the classroom, when you return, it's this completely foreign experience," she observes. "But, I now know how important it is to do well," she says. "I just don't think I had that appreciation when I was younger." However, Ms. Milam's situation may be an exception. "For both men and women, we see good scores from those in their mid- to late-20s, but test scores for people in their 30s are, on average, a little lower," says Andrew Mitchell, director of pre-business programs at Kaplan Test Prep. "People taking the test in their 20s generally have a little bit of an advantage."
Ann Bezbatchenko, director of graduate and professional enrollment management at Loyola University Chicago, agrees. "People in their 20s have a few advantages," Ms. Bezbatchenko explains. "First, they're closer to their undergrad experience and may recall what it's like to study and prepare. Second, they may also have more time. When you move into your 30s, you're not only juggling an increasing workload professionally, but also balancing an increasing load in your personal life."
Mr. Weiss says standardized tests are more difficult for students out of practice, but stresses that doing well is a matter of good training. "It's more challenging to take the GRE as a student who's been away from the classroom for several years, but it doesn't mean you can't do just as well with good preparation," he affirms. "One thing we find about older students is they are often more passionate about what they're interested in studying, and that's good motivation for studying hard and doing well."
Ultimately, good test scores come from approaching these exams one step at a time. "We tell people the GRE is very much like a marathon, especially if they're out of practice," explains Mr. Weiss. "You wouldn't strap on your sneakers and say 'I'm going to run 26 miles tomorrow!' You'd need to get your confidence back and build up your stamina over time," Mr. Weiss explains. "That's how you do well on the test."

Traditional Damask Rectangle Invitations Very beautiful. Happy with everything I purchased. Ordered invitations, response cards, guest information cards, and rehearsal dinner invitations (which were smaller than I was expecting, but are still great). Everything looks great! Would definitely recommend this product. If you're not sure if you like how it looks, see if a sample is available for mailing. That's what I did first and then knew that it was exactly what I wanted. Can't wait to send them out!
Colors are excellent
