@Scrbblchick -- Two trips to the vampires. Sounds like fun. It's worth mentioning that, while taking that aspirin may be a good idea if you're having blood drawn, you will probably have to stop it if you're having any kind of surgery.
I had outpatient surgery a couple of years ago. I've been on a baby aspirin regimen for years, but my doctor told me to stop about a week before the surgery so they wouldn't have any bleeding problems. I did and everything was all right. My blood clotted fine and I was OK.
I think the whole problem is that in healthy people, the natural state is for the blood to stay inside the body, and the body does everything possible to make that happen.

Y ou'll probably make burgers many times this summer: Keep this time-tested favorite from becoming routine by introducing tasty twists. Tonight's hearty menu stars a "dressed-up" burger with rich Roquefort-infused patties paired with flavorful grilled onions, and a simple but fresh take on potato salad.
Use red-skinned, Yukon Gold, or other "waxy" potatoes for the salad. They have more moisture, taste great cold, and are less mushy than russets and other "floury" varieties.

School is closed, boys are banished to the basement...I just wish they's stay down there! :lol: I joined WW last night. Of course I had to change my ticker and stats because I'm used to weighing in butt naked first thing in the AM, but had to WI at 7:30 last night, after dinner, fully dressed. So I am 6 lbs. heavier. :( But I'll suck it up. The meeting was good though, I like the leader. May have to switch to the 6:00 meeting though, because 7:30 is late! And it's AI night!! :lol: Have a great day all! poppyseeds 01-28-2009, 10:21 AM OMG... I always went to the earliest saturday morning meeting when I was in WW years ago.

I leave about 3am tomorrow with a minivan rental to get the rest of my stuff in Asheville. I'm going with either my dad or friend (will know which one soon) and we are doing the trip all in one day (lovely 20 hour drive it will be). So, I'm sure I'll be in a great mood by early Friday morning when we return. Will be happy to get it done and over with though for sure. That said, talk to you all Friday afternoon or thereabouts! :) LBH 01-28-2009, 12:34 PM Valerie, I used to go to an 8 am Saturday AM too! I wore the same thing every week, bike shorts under sweats (in the winter). :lol3: I'm trying not to be soo anal, but I'm not sure how long I'll last weighing in at night. :lol: I just had an Arnold sandwich thin toasted with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and a boiled egg, with 1/2 c. grapes. I forgot how much fun it is to figure out how much you can eat for little points! :lol: I've had 10 pts. soo far today, and I get 30. SapphireBlue 01-28-2009, 12:45 PM Yesterday was 1 little Hershey Mini was a trigger for me that sent me into over eating for the remainder of the day. However, I am back on track today. I consider it a little speed bump. I have about a ton of data entry to do, because its the end of the month. I wish I could take a stick of dynamite to it:bomb:, or possible a gas can and a match. My mind tends to drift when I have to do data entry. I am trying to build up some courage to ask my bosses that I be allowed to work from home for the last week of the month when we have enough people answering phones, and I am not needed. There are just so many distractions otherwise. Sigh! Im such a chicken though. :comp:I was thinking about creating a weight loss blog, but I don't know how to incorporate the two elements I want into it. I want to write about my weightloss struggles and struggles with finding time to knit (and displaying my knitting, of course). Any tips from Bloggers. Celia meredithann 01-28-2009, 12:53 PM Hi Chicks! Gosh I have been busy lately! We have had 2 snow days, and just trying to keep up with the snow clothes and keeping the house organized is a full time job. I have been being good- food wise, but not so good- exercise wise...I have some dishes to put away, and then I will make lunch, and try to get a half hour in. Hope you all have a terrific day! rileyozzy 01-28-2009, 10:47 PM I got the flu really bad on Sunday, but bounced back pretty well. I did end up losing 4 pounds from it though and have managed to maintain it for a couple of days so I am thinking it just may be real. I usually lose weight when I am sick, but then the weights finds me the next day. If this loss is real then I am only 3 pounds from my first goal weight. This will be a truly amazing triumph for me. Things at work are stressful. The admin is talking about closing our on site daycare which would be devastating to me. I have a one year old and it means everything to have her right near me while I work. And my husband will likely have to take a big decrease in pay just to keep his job. The state of the state is pretty bad. I guess there is one benefit of not eating so much---we save money. :) vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

It can be a tedious process, writing a novel. This one is a bitch, quite simply because the story has a history. A rich history. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking down every avenue I can find. The distance between that side street and the main road can be as short or as long as I like. But it needs to feel like a journey for me. The dead end shouldn't come so easily, for even dead ends lead to somewhere. Its just usually not a place we'd like to go or think about. Kind of like the street a friend of mine used to live on. We'd play basketball outside his house. Bouncing the ball through the street was nice, none of the other cars drove passed us. At the end of the block was a dense, unwelcoming forest. It was the type kids would get lost in... and you only hoped they ended up on the other side of the woods and not on the evening news.
When I write, I'm building the road as I go. There's the main street, where all of the action takes place. But then there are the alleyways and smaller avenues. You don't venture down those dark recesses alone... or at least you don't go down there without a weapon and a prayer. And then there is what lies beyond the darkness. It's a realm that cannot be merely looked at from the distance, but experienced. Some books will keep you on the main road. Some will veer you into the alleyways. And then there are those that force you through the fog, through the places you had not yet dreamed of.
Operation Dark Angel has been rewritten many times over. The picture above is the preliminary outline - post-its on top of post-its in a binder filled with more post-its. Now I'm working on a longer, revised outline that includes new characters and new subplots. The main road has pretty much stayed the same. A young girl grows up not knowing her true identity until she becomes of age. The side alleys and avenues have been revamped; I've made them darker and more sinister. Definitely bring a weapon. Leave the loved ones at home. As for those foggy parts, those forests that have no road or path to follow, they leave open-ended answers. It is where more stories are waiting to be told - maybe novellas, or an entirely new novel. Hell, why not a web series?
This is by far the longest and laborious part of writing the novel. That's only because I'm mapping out its potential while fleshing out the story itself. I can understand why most authors aim not to write out an outline at all. Something about losing the creative juices when working on the actual manuscript. I believe that's all hogwash. If you're creative, then an outline doesn't suppress that urge. Some authors just don't need to make one. Good for them. My mind is not as organized. I tend to develop new ideas faster than I can put them on paper... or on a word processor, in this case. My only option, then, is to outline and to walk through the world that is my novel in progress. This month will take longer than most because so many other life events are getting in the way. But, I'm working. I'm writing. The road will eventually end.

New Process Promises Ammonia From Air, Water, and Sunlight
timothy posted about 6 months ago | from the kid-tested-mother-shocked dept.
117The synthesis of ammonia is one of the globe's most significant industrial applications of chemistry. PhysOrg reports the publication in the August issue of Science (sadly, article is paywalled) the description of a low-energy process to syntheize ammonia for fertilizer using just air, water, and sunlight, by zapping with electricity water bubbling through a matrix of iron oxide, and sodium and potassium hyroxide. Electricity isn't free, though — "Low energy" in this case means two-thirds the energy cost of the long-in-use Haber-Bosch process. Researcher Stuart Licht is getting some of the energy to run this reaction from a high-efficiency solar cell he's created, which creates hydrogen as a byproduct. Along with the elimination of the need to produce hydrogen from natural gas, the overall emissions are reduced quite significantly. The whole process also takes place at milder conditions, not requiring 450C and 200 times atmospheric pressure as the Haber-Bosch process does. ... But even with Licht's method, [University of Bristol electrochemistry professor David] Fermin points out that we are far away from being able to replicate nature's efficiency at converting nitrogen from the air to useful chemicals, which is done by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. "What is truly remarkable is that nature does it incredibly efficiently at low-temperature," Fermin added. And yet, if something more efficient can replace the Haber-Bosch process, it would lower the energy input of the production of one of the worlds most important chemicals and lead to a notable reduction in global CO2 emissions.

Elaine Dundy's semi-autobiographical comic novel follows the misadventures of an American girl who impulsively quits college and heads off to conquer Paris in the 1950s.
Sally Jay Gorce sets out to become an actress, but what she really wants to do is experience the wide world, and to "make her wits so sharp she's always able to guess right." Thus she embarks on an educational program that includes an affair with a married man (which fizzles out when she realizes that he's single–and seems to want to marry her); many nights in cafés, cabarets, and jazz clubs in the company of aspiring artists and other assorted "citizens of the world"; a nightmarish trip to the Riviera; an entanglement with a charming psychopath; and a bit part in a film financed by a famous matador.
An education like this doesn't come cheap. And just when it starts to look like our heroine will be forced back to the States to fulfill her destiny as a librarian, she meets a dashing photographer who is her perfect, eccentric match.
"I had to tell someone how much I enjoyed The Dud Avocado. It made me laugh, scream, and guffaw (which, incidentally, is a great name for a law firm)." –Groucho Marx
"[The Dud Avocado] is one of the best novels about growing up fast..." -The Guardian
"The gayest and most cheerful novel about Americans in Paris I have read...a dazzling performance--as light as a champagne bubble, as continuously attention-getting as a juggler keeping seven swords in the air at the same time." --The New York Times
"Take one zippy, curious, 21-year-old American named Sally Jay, just out of college. Drop her in the middle of Paris' Left Bank. Add an Italian diplomat, an American theatrical director , a couple of painters and a white slave trader. Mix until all bubbles. The result: a delightful few hours of sparkling reading entertainment. Summing up: Froth and frolic." --Newsweek
"Delightful...her portrait of the Left Bank expatriates is caustically funny." --Time
"A champagne cockail...rich, invigorating, and deceptively simple to the taste...One falls for Sally Jay from a great height from the first sentence." --The Observer
"A first-rate reporter, [Dundy] has made The Dud Avocado into a Baedeker of neo-Bohemiahe...the atmosphere of a French student café; the folkways of hobohemia; the accents of the International Set-all these Miss Dundy has captured with sill and a degree of wit." --The New York Times Book Review
"A cheerfully uninhibited...variation on the theme of the Innocents Abroad...Miss Dundy comes up with fresh and spirited comedy...Her novel is enormous fun-sparklingly written, genuinely youthful in spirit, and exquisitely gay." --The Atlantic
"Elaine Dundy writes a sprightly novel to bring us up to date on the American girl from across the street who goes to Paris looking for Life and Love. Her book is sad and tender, bubbling with fun, spiced with insight...The Dud Avocado is satiric, mostly true, and decidedly sexy...The writing is sharp." --New York Herald Tribune
"[W]itticisms that crackle from every page." --Indianapolis Star
"One of the funniest books I've ever read; it should be subtitled Daisy Miller's Revenge." --Gore Vidal

Al Qaeda linked rebels detonate bomb in Somalia
NBC News — Suspected Al Qaeda linked rebels detonated a truck bomb in the Somali capital tuesday, killing at least 70 people and wounding dozens of others. Witnesses say the truck exploded at the gate of a compound housing government offices in Mogadishu where students and parents had gathered to find out the results of scholarship exams.
Al Shabaab insurgents claimed responsibility for the bombing, it is the Islamist group's most deadly single attack since launching their insurgency in 2007. The attack happened in the small area of the capital under the control of government forces and African Union troops.

Ahh, Mattintosh! Good times.
GameRanger already supports many GameSpy games (145 comments)
I'm the developer of GameRanger, a PC/Mac multiplayer online gaming service supporting over 600 games that has been running since 1999. Not very well known due to being Mac-only until late 2008, but just hit 5 million registered members last month mostly from word of mouth. Many of these games are ex-GameSpy or already had their existing services shut down long ago.
I've been trying to reach out to any affected developers and publishers, as I'm well-positioned to be able to help out. My only interest is in keeping these games alive, no matter how small the player base is. I'm not sure if I can help with the console games; that may depend on Glu (I've reached out to them as well).
Sniper Elite back online on GameRanger (247 comments)
Not sure anyone will see this as it's nearly a week later. I've just added support for Sniper Elite on GameRanger, so it can be played online again easily. More rescues are still to come...
Re:GameRanger is a life saver (247 comments)
Thanks for the kind words. Just enabled Sniper Elite today, and more are still to come.

Success! Just added support for GRID on GameRanger. This won't help the unfortunate PS3 souls, but will at least help out the PC players.

I need to look into this further, but I may be able to provide a solution. GameRanger has "rescued" many other orphaned multiplayer PC games in the past.

Re:Already a trend (307 comments)
Let's talk about some old games. Take, for one, Halo 2. It's now going to be permanently offline, as a result of it being connected to Microsoft's services. Let's go back though. Take a look at Jedi Knight. Can you play that online anymore? Nope. Microsoft service. Dead. Any of those other MSN/"Zone" games? Dead. At least DirectPlay supported LAN in the same manner as online, so the games all still support that.
You raise a valid point, though Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and nearly all of the MSN Zone games can still be played online through GameRanger (see the list). You'd be amazed at how many games of Age of Empires II are being played each day -- it puts many recent games to shame.
Re:Doh! (74 comments)
Throttling does not affect packet latency. At the router level, it generally involves selectively discarding packets. Data is not drip-fed at the bit level or byte level.
In order to intentionally affect latency, it would have to do a lot more work by buffering them for a period of time before forwarding onwards.
Now throttling can affect latency of logical messages within a TCP stream depending on the size of those messages, due to the retransmissions required, but does not affect the latency of UDP packets as stated.
Re:Doh! (74 comments)
I'm not sure that net-neutrality would help this. ISPs are blocking high volumes of UDP packets, and they'll claim it's to protect users from DDoS attacks. They may even be telling the truth.
The summary is also badly composed by following the latency complaint with a quote about blocking traffic. That is, unless you consider a blocked packet to have infinite latency. The letter is much more vague about what their actual latency complaint is, other than, you know, latency is bad.
... and all that it entrails (262 comments)
Anyone else read it as entrails?
Memory-erasing milk? (76 comments)
The milk is supposed to be left for Santa, not by Santa.
So kids with a crush on Santa are definitively deciding the naughty or nice question by slipping him some rohypnol.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has confirmed his involvement in forthcoming comic-book adaptation,
, a film in which he could be lined up to star, produce and direct.
reports that JGL's deal will see him follow up his directorial debut
Don Jon
by stepping behind the camera again here, with David S. Goyer and comic-book scribe Neil Gaiman joining him to produce.
Gordon-Levitt took to Twitter to announce his involvement, describing himself as "incredibly honoured to be working with David Goyer, Warner Bros, and Neil Gaiman on
". He later added:
Just to clarify, folks. I've signed on as a producer on Sandman. The rest remains to be seen. Delighted you guys are excited. I am too!
— Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe)
December 17, 2013
The comic-book follows the titular Sandman, an anthropomorphic representation of dreams, who is taken prisoner for 70 years before escaping and finding his dream kingdom has crumbled in his absence...
The project is currently looking for a writer to adapt the film from Gaiman's run of the comics. Assuming of course that Gordon-Levitt is happy to leave that task to somebody else…

Does anyone know what Corbin's tattoo represents? It kind of looks like the chemical breakdown of an element (like what you'd see on the periodic tables). It's huge that's for sure.
Does anyone know what Corbin's tattoo represents? It kind of looks like the chemical breakdown of an element (like what you'd see on the periodic tables). It's huge that's for sure.
i didn't like romeo and silas too much. silas was good but romeo was pushing him all around. it was so weird. it wasn't even being an aggressive top. he kept moving all around and ruining the whole video. romeo just ruined it for me
the new update with corbin fucking saber is fucking hot! i never used to be turned on by corbin, but since he came back this week with a lovely hairy body im hooked! please please let him carry on with man on man! seeing him with a hard cock in his mouth gets me very very excited cant wait to see him with one in his tight hole
Corbin's video with Saber this week is the HOTTEST amateur video I've seen this year. I admit the guys aren't the technically hottest, but they seem more genuine and less camera conscious than any I remember seeing. Corbin practically merged with Saber he was so intent to be inside of him, and the spillover just confirmed the heat. The only comparable video I've seen like it was the second Gage/Derek video on Corbin Fisher (coincidence?) and FuckFest 6 on Sean Cody (of course anything with Nicholas is great).
the new vid looks hot. it is downloaded, but i am going to wait until after work to watch it.
How many times did you watch this video? Grant it, Romeo at first came off as you say "pushing him all around." But I watched that video again today, and thought those two Hot guys performed great. Silas seemed perfect to be the submissive one in this video, But he was totally enjoying it all. Now Romeo, was aggressive, and I thought he likes biting his partner. Silas looked like went 10 rounds in a fight, with all the red marks on his chest. But Silas many times told Romeo to stick his dick in his ass, and we was very much into Romeo, and I think the feeling was mutal. Like I said, I think both Romeo and Silas are two of the hottest guys to come to CM. And of the three duos, done in January, I thought this was the best by far.
But that's just my opinion.
The new video was really good. Very very hot. I like the realness of the guys Bryan gets.
Sorry to stray off topic, but whatever happened to Devon, the tall Latino basketball player??? He was sooooooo yummyyy, but I can't find any pictures or clips of him, plus I don't know if he has done anymore work.
Devon was a cutie but I guess he's gone for good. Bryan said he had a girlfriend he planned on marrying and was really nervous during the Serviced vid. Probably was a one time adventure for him. I haven't seen him elsewhere, at least not on any sites I check.
I'm curious, what do y'all think of the twins? I just know this is going to bring up all the usual "brothers together is hot" and "brothers together is sick" discussions. Personally, they aren't my type of guys, but I think the video is hot.
Porn for Patric: is my blog about porn sites and porn stars, guys I find hot and some of my photography
I don't care about the "brother" theme one way or the other. I was very disappointed that they only jerked off. Should've been released on Tues. It would've been much hotter if they had boned another guy.
I think they're goodlooking and find twins or brothers vids erotic. I hope they come back and tag team somebody, maybe Bryan?? Wouldn't that be great.
alpha - you need to go to CM and look at the latest update on the Site News. Edge.V2 is about to be released. Bryan says there's two bonus vids on there not found on the site. Look at the bottom where he talks about he and Tristan getting carried away and basically having sex. Methinks you'll want to order it. Me too.
Thanks for letting me know Jaxon. I have pre-ordered the Edge 2 DVD just to see Bryan get laid. He's so hot!! I really like his newish side burns.
Todays update is smoking hot. While neither guy appeals to me atheistically, the action in the vid is out of control. I wonder if Leo still has that girlfriend
Are you all having trouble downloading the videos? I have high speed everything and it still takes forever for them to complete.
Leo? Straight? Even Spaghetti's straighter then that guy.
Everyone but Leo himself thought he was gay and I think maybe he's realizing he does indeed like dick. I canceled my membership for awhile but may rejoin at some point. CM is still my favorite because Bryan is so upfront about everything and I like the guys. There's a post over on DudeTube about Camden. Seems he was posting j/o vids on that site and wanted to get into the biz.
Woody was cute. I like guys in caps, but with that cap on backwards it made him look horsey faced ( which matched his dick ). With the cap off and his hair sort of fluffed, he's much better looking. Nice equipment. Someone mentioned on another blog that he's made a solo on another site, can't remember which one, and that's all he wanted to do. We'll see oif Bryan can make him feel more at ease.
Man the latest three updates are really hot. Especially Gabe and Jarrett. It is so nice to see porn where the two guys are dating and in love with each other. The entire video is so intense. Bryan said he had a hard time cutting it down from 45 minutes of footage.
One of the greatest parts was when Gabe came inside Jarrett's hole. People are always wanting to see that in porn, and now you have it.
I like the guy Bryan got for the solo, JT. He is super hot, and is bisexual. Then there is a serviced video that I am downloading right now. I am sure that one will be super hot as well, but the write up was so empty you never know.
fantanstic update. You can tell these two are really in love, I hope Bryan releases the full 43 mins on a dvd or something
With Chad and Jarrett, Bryan has come up with a real winner of a video. The chemistry looked very real. Now Bryan need to figure a way to get these guys to do another video together. They're the real deal.
I don't think he has to convince them. I bet they are willing and wanting to do more on camera. They are dating.
camden and leo is a really hot video. leo can barely take dick in his ass but his oral skills are amazing. neither one of them is cute to me but they give one of the best chaosmen performances i've seen.
A very BIG congratulations to Bryan for his GAYVN Award last night. The Edge Series I won Best Amateur Video. Way to go.
Not only did he have the pleasure of 'edging' those hot guys, but he also got recognized for doing it. On the site last month, he mentioned his surprise at being nominated, saying he didn't know about it and hadn't received an invitation to the ceremony. Let's hope he finally got an invite even if he didn't attend.
Our boy Adam is playing with Tommy D over on his site.
Seriously? I thought Leo took Camdens dick up his ass like a real tropper. He seemed to enjoy it to me. Hmmm....
Adam is over on Tommy D's site? Funny. I've noticed that our Zeph is Extra Big Dicks Ayden (Aiden...whatever) and All American Hereos Aiden. He's always topping though and I want to see him bottom for once.
Congrats to Bryan for his award. Why didn't they invite him to the ceremony?
^ it seems like he can barely get the head in. but yea he seemed to enjoy it
^Yeah, I totally just missed that. It looked like Leo was humping like a trooper upon first viewing. However, I never really notice that kind of thing. I'd like to see Leo top Silas! Or Silas w/ just about anyone. I'm not really picky.
What do you fellas think of the new update? The jury is still out for me. On the one hand, I like both of the guys. Race has a great body and screws w/ passion. Plus, he's a bit older which is nice from time to time. Jayce has a great ass and love it when his face gets all red. They seemed to be having a great time; but, they don't really seem to be that into each other. What do ya think?
Leo did a video on CF which was surprising. He doesn't seem like someone Corbin would go for. His stuff on CM seems much better to me.
The video looked like it might be good, but I'm not a CM member at present. I like Race and Jayce has potential.
Everyone seemed to trash Leo on CF - no one seems to like any of the new guys then complain because CF uses the seasoned models. Whatever. When he showed up on CM, I liked him. I was a member at the time and downloaded his vids. Surely Leo is discovering he may be gay as his gf and friends assumed. I think they'll still like him.
alpha - in regards to your question on post 276 - Bryan had mentioned he didn't even know he was nominated and assumed he wasn't going to win because he hadn't received an invitation to the ceremony. Perhaps he eventually got one and went. I hope he did since he won an award.
I think we should give topher another shot. i would like to see more of him.
Yes, Topher was easy on the eyes. Did you notice Topher was originally 'Romeo' on CM and Bryan has changed his name. I hadn't noticed and Shotglass gets the credit for pointing it out. Topher appeared on RB and CM a day apart and he was Topher on RB. Since they many times use various names, it's odd for a site to go back and make those changes. Maybe he'll be back on one of the sites.
Jude is over on a site called Guys Hooking Up.
Alpha - look at the first page of CM and click on the All Site News tab and read Bryan's two entries about the awards and not getting an invite.
Yeah, I read that Jaxon and it's very odd. You'd think that someone would've clued Bryan in about it all. I wish he had been there b/c he definitely deserves the acclaim. I personally believe that Bryan is the most honest porn site owner and is also the most talented. Plus he's hot which is a huge bonus. I've belonged to Chaosmen for almost a year now--I usually switch around but CF and the others are hella boring right now. On the other hand, I never seem to get bored of Chaosmen.
I finally got around to viewing the Edge DVD vol 2. I've had it for about a week but have been really busy. The bonus scenes are extremely hot esp the one w/ Tristan and Bryan!! Tristan has a huge dick and it's awesome to watch the two go at it--literally go at it. They also make out a lot which isn't that major to me but I know a lot of ya'll like that sort of thing. I definitely recommend getting it!
ChaosMen's new guy, Gabriel, is absolutely Hot! Looks older than is 19 hrs., but has a nice personality with a very manly body. Love the way he keeps everything natural.
Says he likes bondage, I can see him doing an EDGE video(with his shirt off,please) or SERVICED video tied to the bed.
Nice smile, plays to the camera, he's not shy, and he delivers a nice load. Wonder why Bryan has been holding this video since November of last year. This is a good solo video.
I had been meaning to post some comments but hadn't yet. Currently I'm not a member of CM but do check all the updates and will probably rejoin soon. For the most part, I like all the guys on CM and sometimes even if I don't care for someone's solo, they may come across a lot better in a duo. The membership price is certainly reasonable.
Gabriel is just fabulous IMO. Yes, let's get him 'serviced' or 'edged' asap Bryan. I've seen some short preview clips of the recent models on several blogs so Bryan must have made them and released them. Hadn't seen that before. Flint, Decker and Dalton are all cuties and I'd like to see them with another guy or at least serviced/edged. At least that way we get to see Bryan too. Maybe one of the models could edge Bryan.
The Dakota/Levi situation is interesting if not curious. Bryan always says he tells it like it is because he doesn't have time to make up fictitious backstories. So here is Dakota and Levi, best friends and roommates for five years. Dakota is supposedly 19 so that would be since he was 14. Something there didn't add up. The two of them thought they could fuck, so don't know if they meant on camera or for the first time. If they're roommates for five years, surely they've experimented at home. Maybe not, but if not, on camera for the first time? I can see someone doing it on camera for the first time with someone they don't know, but not with a roommate and then go back home. Now they want to come back so Dakota can fuck Levi. Maybe they just mean on camera for money. Dealing with your sexuality can be very difficult for many people and they do it in different ways, so who knows. Anyway, if they want to fuck on camera again, I'll certainly watch.
FYI -- there's another update on GuysHookingUp.com with Ben aka Jude on CM. Preview pix over on QueerClick.
Leo is really growing on me. There's something about him that's just sweet and innocent which is endearing.
The Dakota/Levi video was really hot Jaxon. I don't think that was their first time together either. It's funny that you subtracted 5 yrs from Dakota's age to determine that the two would have been living together since he was 14. I never thought about it but that does seem strange. I can't see Bryan lying though (b/c if he does fib, he doesn't do it very well). Maybe one of them just needed a home. They were really into each other in the vid
I'd love to see Silas in another video! What a stud!
Levi and Dakota seem like a real-life couple to me. I also like Leo although I'm not as confused about him as Brian seems to be that boy is as GAY as a $3 dollar bill!! IMO
I completely agree w/ you Dannybye. I was surprised that Dakota and Levi didn't kiss at all during the video b/c they certainly seemed really into each other.
Leo seems gay to me too. I'd love to see him top a guy for once. I think he'd be great at it!
Leo is hot. Of course I'm partial to dark complexions/tans and black hair. ( Silas, pleeeez come back ) Anyway, Leo seems so sweet and almost looks panicked when he's getting drilled. Maybe it's because the other guys fuck him so hard. Bryan said Leo's girlfriend and friends all think he's gay but he says he's straight. He then goes on a gay site and says everyone thinks he's gay but he's not, then makes vids with guys. Huh? LOL I was hoping Bryan's gaydar would tell us something but he says he's confused. I like Leo and I'm willing to watch him do whatever he feels like doing. Go easy on him Bryan. Maybe he and Silas would like each other.
Yes, Dakota and Levi seem like a couple and I'd love to know what's going on back at their house. If they've been real good friends for years, they probably have a close bond which is finally spilling over into the physical. Dakota had been on the site and supposedly was experimenting and then wanted to get fucked. Race did the honors.
Just wanted to say I like Leo, when he is a bottom, it looks pretty intense for him, which I like! And he does have a sweet innocent vibe too. These top guys just need to go easy on him at first. poor guy.
^I'm w/ ya StillUnwritten. Bryan needs to give these alleged straight fellas some pointers in anal sex. The ramming it on home thing just isn't working for the poor bottoms.
I'm disappointed in the update. Maverick just doesn't do it for me and he wasn't passionate at all. Poor Silas just got pounded.
I would love to see Silas top Leo. Silas is really good looking and Leo has an innocence about him that I love. It would be a great pairing.
Oh yes Alpha, Silas and Leo would be great. Both have the dark skin and black hair that I love. Silas is hot and Leo does seem to have an innocence or something about him. He has a panicked look about him when he's getting fucked, although it's probably because he's really been manhandled by the tops so far. Poor baby needs some TLC and someone to be gentle. I'd love to see Leo and Silas just hump around very slowly and make out.
I agree Maverick is okay and it seems Bryan, and most likely many others, are focused on his big loads. Remember the money shot. Odd that Maverick keeps coming back even tho Bryan says he's all feaked about being in a room with another naked guy, blah, blah, blah. Hmmmm, maybe he needs the money or there's a subconscious thrill that's getting him off.
No doubt you've all seen our man Adam on the Next Door Male sites. He's really getting around. I think he must have quit his day job for porn. He was on Tommy D, ND Buddies, ND Hookups and NDM.
New guy Dyson looks pretty good. I'd like to see him with another guy. Bryan doesn't mention anything about Dyson's preferences. Hmmm, Dyson rhymes with Bryson, so maybe they could play around. Where is that cute skaterboy.
I'm not into Bryson's look but I would like to see him bottom. You call it skaterboy, Jaxon, I call it trailer trash (it's the bleached out hair that gets me).
Jaxon, thanks for letting us know that Adam is on Next Door Male. I get all of my porn news from you! A friend of mine has a subscription to Next Door Male and I saw the Tommy D. and Adam video (he fucked a girl too on Next Door Hook Ups but I didn't see it). Poor Adam was way out of his league and it was obvious that Tommy D. has more experience under his belt. It was a good video though. I did notice that Adam really isn't as good looking as Bryan's camera skills kind of made him out to be. I think Bryan just really liked Adam so he took extra time to touch up the photos and to use flattering camera angles. Of course, this is mere speculation on my behalf and ya'll may think he looks the same. I hope that Adam returns to Chaos--he always gives a passionate performance.
I too saw Adam on the new TommyD site. I think the difference with Adam is he's a bit older, has gained a few pounds around his middle
and I believe that's why he doesn't look as he did on Chaosmen. As far as not being in the same league as Tommy, TommyD has been around for quite some time. He even was on FratMenTV along time ago. He's been doing porn for along time, and just the fact that he has his own site, speaks volume to his experience. Adam is just a good old boy from Texas, which he admitted in the interview part. He still has the cute dimple smile he had when he was working for Bryan. To compare him with TommyD. is like comparing "Apples with Oranges". You might be right about the angles and whatever Bryan can do to make a model look better. But there are some guys on Chaosmen that no amount of make-up and angle tricks can make them look appealing. I wouldn't be to harsh on Adam based on his apperance on TommyD and Nextdoormale. He just needs to get in shape a bit. Just IMHO.
Well, I wasn't meaning to put Adam down, he's one of my favs at Chaos. I need to re-articulate my position. I subscribed to Next Door Male ages ago (I like their straight porn actually) so I'm aware that Tommy D. has been around for awhile. He's also been on MikeHancock (another good site...not as good as Chaos) and he was featured in Playboy. Which was what put Adam out of his league--in a cute way. On Chaos, Adam is like the big man on campus. He has plenty of experience and seems very comfortable. He's charming. The other fellas seem to like him too--I've never been disappointed in one of his vids. He's a great performer and is very genuine. That's why I like him. However, on Tommy's site, Adam is no longer the big dog. He just isn't. And, I think he realized that...it sort of showed in the video. It wasn't a bad thing, it was adorable and hot. Now, that's just my take on it.
Also, I didn't notice Adam's supposed weight gain at all. I like a little cushion for the pushing, so that wouldn't bother me. It was his face that I was alluding to by speculating that Bryan touches up Adams pics. He just didn't seem as cute. Could it be the age difference? Maybe--he's in his twenties though so shouldn't he have already grown in to his looks? I don't know. Again, it's just mere speculation on my behalf.

" Brand: Bvlgari / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau de Cologne / Gender: for men "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Launched: 2006
Group: Oriental woody
I have a mini collection of nine assorted Bvlgari fragrances that includes Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge (RedTea) Eau de Cologne designed as a unisex fragrance. This fragrance was lanched in 2006 as the house's last addition to their tea-themed colognes following Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert in 1992 and Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc in 2003.
Bvlgari's tea-themed cylindrical bottles are tall and elegant the heavy glass lending a luxurious feel. Thé Rouge also has this characteristic bottle but this time the colour theme is transparent with the bottom and top of the glass being deep red.
Top notes: bergamot, orange, pink pepper
My first impressions of the scent are warm and fresh, aromatic notes of Earl Grey tea with hints of bergamot and orange. Being a unisex fragrance, the opening isn't too feminine, nor too masculine however, it is gentle and caressing. I actually like this phase most, it's a shame it disappears quickly, in about 10-15 minutes, when the stronger, more powdery fig note start to mingle with the fresh, aromatic ones.
Middle notes: fig, tea
The appearance of the middle notes temporarily breaks up the composition, it almost loses its unisex nature. the light, fresh notes are still there but has subdued a lot. What is more prominent is a a powdery and slightly bitter tea note that make the composition somewhat feminine and this accord will dominate for about 3 hours before the lighter, muskier base finally emerges.
Base notes: walnut, resins, musk
I was looking forward to a woody drydown, however the last phase of Thé is soft and musky. I do get some of the earlier fresh tea note again which lifts and brightens the final accords. I didn't catch a lot of sillage, the aroma lingers close to the skin and then fades into a gentle and very quiet musk.
The scent only lasted for about six hours on me and was very subtle, especially in the last phase. Having said that Thé Rouge has an even lighter concentration than an eau de toilette which means substantially less staying power.
With Thé Rouge Bvlgari has managed to create a much acclaimed cologne that explores the complex beauty of tea aromas that smell realistic, calming and interesting at the same time. A beautiful and well-blended unique scent that can be enjoyed by women and men especially for those who like aromatic / woody / tea scents.
You'll find the cologne in department stores though you'll have to pay the full RRP of £40 / 100ml Eau de Cologne there. I recommend Ebay or online perfume discounters to get it for less (£15 - £19.99 / 100ml EDC)
Thanks for reading.

901 W. Lake St.
Minneapolis, MN
Reserve a table
Capsule review:
When the food here is good, it's great. You can't be displeased by the tender, subtly spicy calamari and the cool, nicely plump shrimp cocktail. Salads are excellent, especially a swell Cobb, a tasty spin on the Waldorf and a toss of grilled pears, red onions and rare, tender beef tenderloin. There are nicely grilled lamb chops and a tender pork chop. Some choices feel just a little off-kilter. Hard, flavorless, out-of-season tomatoes stopped a caprese dead in its tracks. Aggressive orange accents didn't do any favors to a dry, overcooked pan-roasted chicken; ditto a clunky cream sauce on plasticized scallops. $8 is the average by-the-glass charge, and just a quarter of its 90-plus bottles, with something for everyone, are priced at $30 or less. But it's all about choice and accessibility, with a staggering 41 by-the-glass options and a well-chosen array of thematic three-pour flights, organized around specific grapes, regions or vineyards. The Minneapolis design firm CityDesk Studio deserves a medal for carefully and lovingly restoring a faded 1883 plumbing-supply warehouse to its former glory. (Rick Nelson, )

I'm mostly a lurker but just got done reading the entire thread about your driveway, neighbor, easement problem. Then I realized the amount of time the entire thread spanned. From Sept. to now? Wow. Can you please give an update? Any news at all? Thank you from a very, very curious mind!

I care and it seems fairly evident that Katlan does as well. |
I'm fairly curious too. |
Yeah, I was wondering myself what happened. |
I just did a search through the site on her name. That post was the only one she ever posted. My guess is she may not have ever returned. |
I'm glad to see others were curious also. It seemed liked it went on for sooo long. She had so many people giving advice and opinions, I thought for sure she would have posted a final resolution. Oh well, I hope everything turned out o.k. for her and her family. Thanks everyone. Katlan |

The Boy Next Door Review: Jenny From The Schlock
Movie Reviews By Matthew Monagle on January 23, 2015 | Be the First To CommentSome movies are so much better than the sum of their parts that they defy easy explanation. A director suddenly shifts his visual style; an actor shows a previously unknown knack for comedy or drama; a screenwriter breathes life into a property we all assumed was dead. We marvel at the result, talk about how it never should have happened, and praise those involved for safeguarding their creativity against the corporate machinations of the industry. These films demonstrate the success of art in the face of commerce. And then there are movies like The Boy Next Door, which could only exist in a place like Hollywood. It takes a special kind of ignorance to think that Jennifer Lopez and Kristin Chenoweth's characters are believable as best friends or that the 27-year-old Ryan Guzman would get carded in a bar, let alone be a high school student. This is a film that sets up the titular boy next door as being a caretaker for his elderly uncle and then forgets about the uncle for almost the entire film. It's the kind of movie that thinks it's clever because the cat jumps out and the body falls from the closet at the same time. You know what, though? It's not wrong. Great movies happen when everyone is on the same page. Great B-movies happen when nobody is. And The Boy Next Door is a pretty great B-movie.
Hollywood Won't Give Up on Some Directors
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 13, 2015 | Be the First To CommentIn October 2012, Alex Cross was promoted by the full faith an effort of Summit Entertainment as a would-be hit. Before the film was even released, Double Crossed, another book in James Patterson's detective series, had been greenlit to follow shortly after, making Alex Cross the inaugural entry in a franchise organized around Tyler Perry as the titular character. But Alex Cross grossed only $25 million against a modest $35 million budget, and was subject to blisteringly poor reviews that called out the film's ineptitude and its miscasting of Perry. Eric Hynes of The Village Voice deemed Alex Cross "a strong candidate for the dumbest film of the year." The highly visible critical and financial failure of the film effectively put to rest any plans to franchise the series. Filmmaker Rob Cohen's helming of Alex Cross was labeled "inept," and its poor performance effectively prevented its studio from its franchising goals. In some circumstances, such a rollout could seriously threaten the career of a director. Yet here we are, slightly over two years later, and Rob Cohen has another Hollywood film coming out in ten days, the Jennifer Lopez-starring thriller The Boy Next Door.
MGM Sticks Its Middle Finger Up at the World and Green Lights a 'Road House' Remake
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 25, 2013 | Comments (2)The late 80s and early 90s were a golden age of ridiculous action movies that were so cheesy and bad, to look at them with modern eyes makes one wonder just what was going through everyone involved's heads when they made them. For whatever reason the world was hungry for action during that period though, and the more faux badass the hero was and the more unbelievable the violence was, the better. Perhaps the ultimate example of late 80s, early 90s action cheese was director Rowdy Herrington's (yep, real name) 1989 Patrick Swayze-starrer, Road House. It had everything that a so-bad-it's-good action movie needed to be a success at the time: macho posturing, homoerotic fight sequences, random female nudity, throats getting ripped out, you name it. Despite the fact that Road House wasn't really good enough to be remembered because of actual merit, years of ironic viewings on college campuses and late night repeat airings on TBS have kept it alive in the hearts and minds of movie fans, to the point where you can probably refer to it as a cult classic. And for some reason MGM seems to think that's reason enough to try to capitalize off its notoriety with a remake.
A Pervy Jennifer Lopez Will Cruise the High School Parking Lots in Low-Budget Thriller 'The Boy Next Door'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on September 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentJennifer Lopez has accomplished a lot of things over the course of her career as an entertainer. She's been a dancer, an actress, a recording artist, and even a reality TV personality. But a new report out of Variety is saying that she's just taken a new job that's now going to see her attempting to do the impossible: she's going to have to try to seduce a hormone-filled teenage boy using little more than her world-renowned sex appeal and shapely figure. Truly, this is going to be her most challenging endeavor to date. The seduction is all set to take place in a low-budget thriller called The Boy Next Door, which is being put together by successful horror producer Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity, The Purge), and which reportedly has Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, Alex Cross) in negotiations to direct.
37 Things We Learned From the 'Alex Cross' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Rob Hunter on January 31, 2013 | Comments (2)Alex Cross is not a good movie. There's no singular reason as to why that is, but you can take your pick from the messy script to the casting of Tyler Perry in the title role as a police detective previously played by Morgan Freeman. Director Rob Cohen sat down to record a commentary for the Blu-ray/DVD which hits shelves next week, and he speaks highly of his film, his cast and crew while detailing the making of the film. He makes it very clear that he'd like the series to continue too, so tell everyone you know to buy a copy. Keep reading to see what I heard with this week's Alex Cross Commentary Commentary…
'Alex Cross' Director Rob Cohen: "I'm Not Going to Be One of Their Darlings"
Features By Jack Giroux on October 19, 2012 | Comments (3)Alex Cross director Rob Cohen has never been one what could label a "critical darling." There are a few notable exceptions in Cohen's filmography, like Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story or The Rat Pack, but even his most successful and well-liked blockbusters – xXx and The Fast and the Furious – didn't get much love from the critical community. To Cohen, that doesn't matter so much, especially if the audience eats it up. A bad review may hurt Cohen, as he compares it to someone calling your baby the ugliest baby of all, but it won't ever match the power of having a mass audience enjoying one of his popcorn movies. Obviously Alex Cross, his latest film starring the box office overlord Tyler Perry, hasn't been met with a kind response thus far. Considering who Cohen wisely cast in the lead, those reviews won't matter much when he sees this weekend's box-office receipts. Here's what Rob Cohen had to say about crafting Alex Cross's bug-eyed villain, critics, his love for Seth MacFarlane's Ted, and why Raiders of the Lost Ark wouldn't get made today:
Review: 'Alex Cross' Is Ridiculous Dross
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on October 19, 2012 | Comments (1)You'd think a thriller about a brilliantly dogged detective matching wits with a sadistically smart serial killer would be at least somewhat entertaining. You'd be right in thinking that too, and if that's the kind of film you're looking for I recommend Memories of Murder, Copycat or Seven to fill your needs. Because there's nothing about the new film Alex Cross that comes even close to brilliant, smart or intentionally entertaining. Alex Cross (Tyler Perry) is a homicide detective and doctor (of some kind but probably a psychologist) in Detroit who's grown weary of his police beat and is considering taking an adviser role with the FBI. Before he can convince his pregnant wife that the move to Washington DC is in their best interest he's tasked with solving a multiple murder with a tortured woman at its center. Cross' team includes his childhood friend, Det. Tommy Kane (Ed Burns), and the young but talented Det. Monica Ashe (Rachel Nichols), and their target is a determined and very capable killer whose name changes with the turn of the script's page. Picasso aka the Four Roses Killer aka Cadillac spokesperson (Matthew Fox) is targeting high-ranking executives, but after he's almost caught during an attempted hit he turns his focus towards Cross and friends. It doesn't take long before you'll start wishing him the best of luck.
Matthew Fox Transforms for 'Alex Cross' and Mourns the Fate of 'Speed Racer'
Features By Jack Giroux on October 17, 2012 | Comments (1)It's fair to say Matthew Fox is still in a transitional period post-LOST. After six years on the air, the rapid fanbase, and ending on that hugely divisive note, it's naturally going to take time moving away from a show that big. Picasso, the egotistical psychotic assassin at the center of Alex Cross, is certainly a role which could assist Fox in that department. The actor transforms himself somewhat similarly to the way he did a few years ago with Speed Racer, a box office bomb he rightfully calls far ahead of its time. Racer X and Picasso may not be share personality traits, but both characters rely heavily on Fox's physicality. As anyone can see in Alex Cross, making a transformation in achieving that physicality is a challenge the star embraces. Here's what actor Matthew Fox had to say about defending a psychopath, avoiding villainous monologues, and his love for Speed Racer:
'The Fast and the Furious' Director Rob Cohen is Going Back to '1950' For a History Lesson
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 29, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor the past decade or so Rob Cohen has made a career out of doing films that people's little brothers would like. From The Fast and the Furious, to xXx, to Stealth, all of the guy's work epitomizes the sort of aesthetic that can make a 15-year-old boy look up from his portable gaming system and go, "that looks pretty cool." So what do you imagine his next film is going to be about? Snow boarding assassins, drag racing bikini models, or President Obama declaring that homework is outlawed? No, not even close. Try, the Korean War. With 1950, Cohen will be telling the life story of Marguerite Higgins. She was a journalist working for the New York Herald Tribune as their Far East bureau chief and is something of a feminist figure. Higgins was banned by the US Army from covering the war in Korea because she was a woman, but eventually became so persistent in her intentions to do so that she not only got to cover the war like all of her male colleagues, she also got permission from Douglas MacArthur to work on the front lines.
Welcome back to Junkfood Cinema: if you don't leave now, it's consensual. This is the part of the internet where your intrepid host (or, in this case, your intrepid host's wife) dons her finest Middle Age-y costume, unsheathes her silver Nerf sword and just starts whaling on an awful, maleficent movie. And yet–probably as a consequence of some ambiguous plot device early in my childhood–I check the killing stroke, throw down my weapon and extend my hand in peace to this humbled, repentant film. I cement our bond by throwing a feast in its honor and invite our reader (yes, singular) to indulge in a snack specially tailored to the film: not only not fit for a king, but probably not legal in any monarchical government. This week's mistake of draconian proportions: Dragonheart
Mathew Fox to Kill Some People in the New Alex Cross Movie
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 17, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAlex Cross is a reoccurring character in the novels of James Patterson. His stories have already been adapted for the screen a couple times with Morgan Freeman playing the lead role. Those films were Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Well now the character is looking to get a reboot with Tyler Perry as the lead. It's old news that I, Alex Cross is being directed by xXx and The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen, but there is some new casting news to report. Mathew Fox has signed on in a key role as an assassin. Add to that the fact that Ed Burns is going to play Cross' assistant Tommy Kane, and this looks like a movie that is starting to come together. But I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think a lot of people have been trained to see Tyler Perry's name and treat it as a joke, but he's made some things that are more dramatic than those cheesy black family sitcoms and cross dressing Madea movies that he is known for. And I saw him act in Star Trek and it wasn't bad. Rob Cohen's movies I can't really defend, but they've managed to make a lot of money from what I can tell. Still, just give me those two names and I, Alex Cross sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Rob Cohen to Produce A New Monster Squad?
Movie News By Robert Fure on July 16, 2008 | Comments (14)See, that's the perfect example of a tricky title. If you're like me, a huge fan of the original Fred Dekker 1987 classic Monster Squad you're probably hoping for news of a sequel. If you're a cynic, you may have automatically just assumed that this was, yes, a remake.

Are there actually many people with no aspirations toward competitive play? Are there people who would buy a core set, some chapter packs, and this expansion, and only ever play with others in their own house, etc.? Even if you only play against one other friend, you would want full playsets of things, especially if that friend had them.
I don't care how many cards are included, I don't care how much it costs, but FFG needs to include full playsets of things, and even 2x of the "limit one per deck" objective sets. Any objective released should be an auto-2x in its package.
So you would be fine paying twice the cost for an expansion with 264 cards? Or would you rather the expansion have only 12 new objective sets and pay the same price for a full playset? Personally I'm happy for more cards to create a more diverse game. Given that, I'll begrudge FFG the flexibility to market this to the more casual gamer.
I want to pick up a product and know that I have playsets. It is a minor point of contention. I will obviously be buying two, if I have to in order to have playsets. But, something about it feels odd and lame.

PrintEd Provides Hope For Jailhouse Printers --Michelson
January 2009What makes Phillips noteworthy, however, is the fact that he's the first prison inmate in the country to be awarded PrintEd certification after recently passing the examination in offset press operations and, subsequently, the introduction to the graphic communications test. One major hurdle to overcome was getting the warden to allow Phillips to take the online standardized exam, since all prisoners are denied any Internet access. The warden eventually relented, though, providing that the online test—and Phillips' Internet usage—was proctored under the strict supervision of Jeanette Donohew, lead teacher at the prison. A few other inmates at the correctional facility have since taken PrintEd exams. Certification achieved in this manner also places the examinee on a national registry for future job prospects.
(In addition to programs at several secondary and post-secondary schools, there are a total of 10 PrintEd-accredited prison training programs in the nation, all of which are administered by the Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation or GAERF.)
"Regardless of the length of their sentences, these inmates can't go on every day without a sense of hope and purpose," Donohew notes. "If and when prisoners are released, their hope, and ours, is that they're prepared to be productive citizens. They already have a couple of strikes against them by having a felony record, so we want to help them get the credentials they need to hit the ground running once they leave prison." She adds that several former inmates have found industry jobs, largely due to the career training received while incarcerated.
John Phillips' classroom training and, now, certification also help him to be a better employee within the prison's print shop, which is run by West Virginia Correctional Industries. Paid less than $1 per hour, inmate employees provide sheetfed printing for state parks and various agencies. The printing class can do jobs for non-profits such as local churches, Boy Scout groups, etc., in order to provide live work for the students. The Correctional Industries shop houses a newer, highly automated, two-color Sakurai and some other presses, as well as a range of prepress and finishing gear.

Ball St. Cardinals (2-1)
@Butler Bulldogs (2-1)
Saturday, November 20
Hinkle Fieldhouse
Attendance: 7,038
Ball St.
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Shelvin Mack scored 19 points and pulled down seven rebounds while Matt Howard supplied 16 points and 10 boards as 16th-ranked Butler downed Ball State, 88-55.
Shawn Vanzant added 11 points for the Bulldogs (2-1), who bounced back from a loss at Louisville on Tuesday to beat the Cardinals for their 17th straight victory at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
"Nobody was thrilled about the result on Tuesday, but I do think that we probably didn't play quite as poorly as it looked," Butler head coach Brad Stevens said. "I think everyone had some pride about playing better today. I told our staff at halftime that the neatest thing about this game is we know that we've got good character because we rebounded from a tough week."
Butler has defeated Ball State in seven consecutive meetings and in 10 of the last 11.
Malik Perry scored 13 points while Jarrod Jones added nine points and seven boards for the Cardinals (2-1), who had entered the game having defeated Eastern Illinois and Indiana State.
"Today was tough for us as we were playing some really good basketball leading up to this game," Ball State head coach Billy Taylor said. "We knew we were going to get a great test from a fantastic Butler team that was hungry coming off a loss. I wish we would have played better in all facets of the game. We have to find a way to have a lot more resiliency when the pressure is on us. We allowed three runs that we have to be able to avoid to be successful."
Ball State shot just 32.7 percent from the field, making only 17-of-52 shots in its seventh straight defeat at Hinkle since 1996.
Trailing 11-9, Butler ran off the next 10 points, capped by a Zach Hahn three- pointer, to take a 19-11 lead with just under 12 minutes to go in the half.
Howard made three foul shots and a layup in the midst of a 9-1 run over the final four minutes and change to give Butler a 38-20 lead at the break.
Hahn was fouled on a three-pointer and made all three shots to finish off another 9-1 burst that pushed the Bulldogs lead to 55-31 just about 5 1/2 minutes into the second half.
Garrett Butcher's tip-in shot capped a 14-0 splurge that increased the hosts' advantage to 69-38 inside eight minutes to play. The lead grew to as many as 35 in the final minutes of the lopsided affair.
