The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a front-engine, 2-seater luxury grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-AMG of German automaker Mercedes-Benz and is the first Mercedes-Benz automobile designed in-house by AMG.[1] The car, which has gull-wing doors, is the successor to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and is described by Mercedes-Benz as a spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.[2] SLS stands for "Sport Leicht Super" (Sport Light Super). The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is assembled in Sindelfingen, Germany.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and sales began in mid-2010 in Europe.[3] and in the United States in mid-2011.[4] Mercedes presented at the 2012 Paris Motor Show an electric version of the car, named Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive.
The SLS AMG was designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival by Mark Fetherston from October 2006 to April 2007.[5][6][7] The SLS AMG has also adapted the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, and the doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds (41 kg) to the car.[4] In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.
Although there is some overlapping in price and performance, the lighter SLS AMG is considered more of a sporty track-oriented car, compared to the Mercedes-Benz SL which is a more autobahn-focused grand tourer especially with its optional V12 engine.[8] Compared to the SLS AMG Roadster, the SL is a hardtop convertible with technological and comfort amenities, and it also has available heated and cooled seats with a massage function.[9] The SLS AMG has also been said to be one of the cheapest cars on the market with an unusual door design.[10]
The SLS AMG will be made in at least four different versions. The first to launch is the coupe with gullwing doors. In 2009 a Desert Gold version debuted at the Dubai International Auto Show, in mid-2010 a FIA-GT3 racing version. For 2011–2013 Mercedes will also be releasing a roadster (with conventional doors and a soft top), an electric powered E-Cell version (most likely to be a coupe), and there will be a Black Series version, which will see its weight being reduced by as much as 300 kg (661 lb).
It is a version of SLS AMG Coupé with decorative and mounted features in shining chrome or Silver Shadow colours, black-painted AMG light-alloy wheels in size 9.5 x 19 at the front and 11.0 x 20 at the rear with a golden ring on the rim flange, gold body colour.
The vehicle was unveiled in 2010 Dubai International Motor Show.[11]

As of the end of September 2014, after the time that production of the SLS AMG ended, a total of 2,684 Mercedes SLS AMGs had been sold in the United States. This figure includes both Gullwings and roadsters combined.[96]
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG shoes were produced with Italian clothier Santoni.[97]
As part of SLS AMG Coupé market launch, a print ad (started in February 2010) featured a red Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG striking a powerful pose on grey asphalt against a black backdrop. The visual motif is supported by a brief, meaningful message, such as "Oh Lord …" or "A cockpit. An engine. Two wings. Is it still a car?", for example. The print ad appeared in daily newspapers and magazines. A TV advert with Michael Schumacher telling the story of an experiment with SLS AMG demonstrating its technical highlights from preparation and test phases to the realisation was produced. The TV ad was premiered on 30 January 2010 on all major television channels with a 60-second roadblock, followed by a 45-second version in reruns until the end of March. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG web site was extended with the addition of an interactive guided tour of the AMG development plant. In addition, three editions of an online magazine provided extensive information on the performance ("Milliseconds"), the lightweight construction ("Milligrams") and the design ("Millimetres") of the SLS AMG. A reporter blog www.sls-amg-reporter.de was launched featuring fictional enthusiast Matthew K. posting reports, pictures and video clips of his travels as an SLS AMG reporter as he follows the global launch of the new gullwing. Starting at February 2010, a new iPhone application called "SLS AMG" was launched, featuring preview of the car via 360° gameplay using the iPhone's accelerometer.

Minichamps produced a limited (197 units) edition of SLS AMG GT3 1:18 scale model car for the IAA. The vehicle includes 88 parts, painted in matt black and features poison green details. The vehicle was unveiled in 2013 Frankfurt International Motor Show.[102]
The SLS AMG was discontinued in early 2014 after a short several year production run. It will be replaced by a substantially less costly offering with traditional (rather than Gullwing) doors and a much smaller but forced induction engine that is designed to compete against the Porsche 911 and Audi R8. This marks the end of Mercedes' remarkable 6.2 liter naturally aspirated M159 engine.[103] AMG head Tobias Moers said that engine downsizing is becoming ever more important, and that AMG will replace the SLS with "a new sports car in a more (price) accessible segment." As he put it, "There won't be an immediate successor to the SLS AMG. The SLS gave the AMG brand a special brand icon with its iconic Gullwing doors and we like to treat it as something special for both the company and the SLS owners."[104]
The SLS AMG is featured as the cover car for the PlayStation 3 racing game Gran Turismo 5.[105][106][107][108]
The car was featured in the Top Gear Series 16 Premiere, in which the three presenters use various supercars to drive up a part of the east coast of the United States. Jeremy Clarkson brought along the car, praising virtually everything about the car (although he does mention that the doors are a bit excessive). Also in the Xbox 360 video game Forza Motorsport 4, Clarkson commented that "This is not just the greatest car Mercedes makes; right now, I think, it's the greatest car in the world."
The car is also used for the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, as the Decepticon Soundwave.
A silver version of this car features in the television series The Cape, driven by Summer Glau in the second episode.
A metallic gray SLS appeared in 2NE1's "I Am The Best" music video, with Sandara Park driving it.

Dr. Dave, Fullfilling a vision by making it a reality! That is truly awesome! Thank You for sharing it with us!
AMAZING! That Sinclair Dino gas pump should be a Royal Crown pump. What's the going rate for a root canel and a crown?
One thing about drdave and his staff: there's always lots of laughter and fun going on at his clinic where people get their grilles straightened. Heck, I even took my '54 DeSoto with a crooked tooth to him one time! Another kool thing: drdave lets my 4-yr-old grandson James play with the very valuable antique toys in his display cabinets. Yesterday, James was with me in the car and he asked if we could go by there and play with the toys again.
Brilliant! I am going to go punch my kid in the teeth just so I can bring'm to you. (kidding of course)
I had braces when I was a kid but his office looked more like a jail. I go to the same fitness club as he, now that he is retired, and one day while we were relaxing in the pool I told him we used to call him the brace natzi. He was suprised and said you must have been one of the kids that gave me trouble. haha
I need to schedule an emergency appointment to have my teeth cleaned and my truck painted.Thats awesome!
Thats a first class design and build! I would hate to see things get messed up though with foot traffic in and out. Id be freaked out if I was the owner that something might get damaged!
Wow don't know whether to get and oil change or a cleaning.... I'm definitely going to show it to a couple Dr. buddies. Thats neato.
My sister is in school right now to become a dental hygenist...I forwarded this to here and told her THIS is the kind of place she needs to get a job!! AWESOME JOB!!
I think when I finally get my truck on the road and ready to go cross country, I know where I'll be booking a mid trip pit stop to get my smile whitened...
Thanks again for all the kind words guys! Open for tours anytime....dad is bringing some by tonight. LOL

Our project car is running 31" tall rear tires with a 3.55:1 rearend ratio, and a non-overdrive (1:1) ratio transmission. Lets do math. A 31 " diameter tire is 31 x 3.1416=97.3896" circumferance. A mile is 5,280 feet. or x 12=63360 inches. So. in order to travel one mile. the tire has to turn 63360/97.3896=650.6 times. At 60 miles per hour, your car is travelling 1 mile per minute. That means that your tire has to rotate 650.6 times in one minute to reach the speed of 60 miles an hour. If you are using a 3.55:1 rearend ratio, then you multiply the ratio times the number of tire rotations in one minute, so 3.55 x 650.6=2309.6---that is the speed at which your rearend input pinion and driveshaft would be turning. If your car does not have an overdrive transmission, then we can assume that the transmission ratio in high gear is 1:1---this is hard and true for manual transmissions, with a very small percentage of slippage for "non lock-up" transmissions like a powerglide. This means that at 60 miles an hour, your engine will be turning 2309.6 RPM. with 31" diameter tires and a 3.55:1 rearend ratio. If you were to use a 4.11:1 rearend ratio, then the engine would be turning at 4.11 x 650.6=2674 RPM.
And for those who don't want to do all the math, go to www.4lo.com! Just put in 1 for the transfer case ratio. "Gear Ratio" does the tire size/rpm/mph calculations. he formulas used are on the same page as the calculations just in case you ant to double check things.
I remember in high school having a whole book of formulas for figuring that stuff, CID, HP needed to reach top end speed with tire size and weight of car, etc. We got this stuff from magazines, race teams, those little "is/was" wheels from the speed shops, etc. And we always checked it out with the math teacher who encouraged us all the way. Did all this because we thought it was fun and we could see a real world use for it. Once he sold us on this, it was easier for him to feed us square roots in out pi. Today I get calls from my neighbor down the street because the high school grad pizza kid couldn't read the house number correctly. So I go stand outside waving with the exact change so I don't have to wait while this future pre-med student figures how make change from a $20.
how do you measure the tires to get an accurate number? the overall diameter? the radius at the bottom of the tire when it's sitting on the car with weight on it? or something in between? I never get a real accurate result with the math because of this problem....
How accurate do you have to be??? I would just measure the maximum tire diameter at rest. At 60 miles per hour, centrigugal force will make the tire marginally larger in diameter anyways, and the tire won't be squabbed out on the underside anyways, partially because of aerodynamic lift on the car body.
well, since you are running the rpm calcuation out to a couple decimal places I figured you must have got it pretty accurate. I usually get within 5% or so,but sometimes it's off enough that I have to change the speedo gear after I calculate it out with the math, because it's off too far by the mileposts. So usually I end up measuring the tire "short"
Isky sells little round gizmos that have been in my tool boxes for too many years No thinking just put in what data you have
Here's an easy to remember formula: MPH = RPM x Tire Diameter divided by Axle Ratio x 336 You could measure the radius of the tire, center to bottom and double that to get an exact figure . . . except . . . tires grow at speed so simply measuring the diameter ground to top of tire works well. Used to hit the RPM figure right on the money when I went through the last ET light at San Fernando dragstrip. I got the speed from the timing ticket.
I am just rounding things off at 3 or 4 decimal places, because the numbers go on to infinity on a pocket calculator. I carry "all those formulas" around in my head. When you have designed machinery for 40 years as I have, the math just sticks in your head from repeated use. I know a lot of that stuff is available from the computer now, however in the first 20 years of my career, there weren't computers so readily available. You came across as not to bright if you had to carry a book of formulas around in your pocket to refer to on job sights. I started out with slide rules and logarithmic tables, and you had to know the relationships of sine, cosine, and tangent functions in your head. Then in the early 70's we moved up to hand held calculators. Now its all computers---but just because there is new stuff to use, it doesn't make all the old stuff dissapear out of your head.
I never use tire diameter. I stretch a 1/4" X 10' tape around the tire and measure the circumference. That way I eliminate brianangus' first step, multiplying dia. by pi (3.14159), and it's a tad more accurate.
Thanks for the math tech, guys!!! I have one question... In terms of speed, won't you have to factor in the final weight of the car to figure out accuratley how many rpm's are required to reach a desired mile per hour??? Or am I just thinking to critically??? God Bless... Take care... Troy.
troy- weight has nothing to do with the gear ratios- they are all non adjustable measurements. the engine will always turn the same speed at a given mph, no matter how much the car weighs, or how much power the engine makes (discounting any slippage of course)
I see it's simple like'' 30 days has Sept. April,June......... and'' ........I forgot The Isky gizmo!!? Where did I put it????
The Dream Wheel is buried in the drawer with your bent degree wheel.... Anyhoo . . . not to get too far off, easy way to remember the months is: Count em on your knuckles and between your knuckles starting at the index finger knuckle. When you get to July on your little finger knuckle start over. Months named on top of your knucks have 31 days. Months named in between have 30 days or less. From C9's list of weird and useful information....
Actually you're only going to ball park it anyway. You tire is going to grow, but the numbers never take into account parisitical loss (slippage etc) in the drive train or wind resistance that adds to the parisitical loss, etc. For the most part close is cool. I have a Java script and the formula that C9 put out both here. I only use them to figure somewhere in the neighborhood. For instance if I have a 6,000 RPM motor and I wanna try and hit 130 I figure my gear ratio and tire height for 140 at said RPM then work toward getting my ride hit the target speed. The you always have to take into account if your mill will actually make enough torque to pull to said RPM at speed. Its a nasty demon that we battle with. The downside to all this is that if or when I hit the target speed its only really cool for a few minutes then here is another rainbow to catch. good discussion though, there is never enough attention paid to gear ratios/tire sizes. Too many times we just grab whatever gear we happen to have or do what everyone else is doing at the time. I'm a firm believer in makeing your ride do what you want it to do instead of trying to make it do one of everything which is another rainbow altogether. For isntance my old push truck gets down the road real well, fair milage, good RPM at cruising speed, but it doesn't do worth a flip on the strip. It could but then it wouldn't make the trip on the HWY.

Holy sh*t!
Wow! To take a child away from its parents at birth is not only a sad situation, it could possible be detrimental to the health of the child. I can't believe this is happening in the USA!?!?!
It's like paradise on Earth, enriched with the ever so sweet nectar of elk urine. When you're out there by yourself, you become who you really are.
According to Stewart's site, there were several serious allegations in the affidavit that led to them black-bagging the kid. Being associated with OK was one of many allegations, but it does paint the author(s) of the affidavit in an extremely bad light. First, OK is not a militia. Second, they wish to pledge their support to the rule of law. Neither of these should be considered problematic. If the allegations are serious enough to take the child, did they also lock up both parents on criminal charges?
Another catchy headline" ...Government takes Baby". Makes it sound like Obama ordered it done. Someone at OK convenienty failed to give the whole story. There is a history of domestic violence between Irish and his GF. According to folks in the comments section; Irish had a problem with police for carrying a concealed firearm. I had to dig long and hard through the far out stuff to find a viable account of the incident. Pardon me but this reads an awful lot like a trailer park novel. There is a time to go to bat for someone when that person is wronged. IMO: Irish is not worth the effort. State takes infant, spurs protest - Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010
Now that's a horse of a different color. Thanks for doing the digging Alsaqr.
Here's a video where Irish and the mother were told be LEO's not to enter the hospital or they would be charged with criminal trespassing.
Here more information on this matter. Local news station is now on it. Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Check Hospital During Protest - News Story - WMUR Manchester Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Check Hospital During Protest CONCORD, N.H. -- FBI bomb-sniffing dogs were at Concord Hospital on Friday after demonstrators gathered to protest a newborn being removed from her mother's care by the state. The hospital said there was no threat made, but it was taking precautions in part to reassure staff and patients. The child was taken by the Department of Children Youth and Families. The hospital said privacy laws prevent it from discussing the matter. The FBI left the hospital without finding anything threatening, and the hospital said it is operating normally. Stephanie Taylor said her infant daughter Cheyenne was taken into state custody. Taylor said she had two young sons removed from her care in 2009 due to abuse by a caretaker. The father, Johnathon Irish, said court paperwork cited his involvement with an organization called the Oath Keepers, dedicated to defending the constitution. While state officials cannot talk about this case, Lorraine Bartlett with the Division For Children Youth And Families said a child cannot be removed based on a parent's affiliation with an organization.
Update from infowars, MSM is not saying a word! There is a 14:52 minute video.Irish Family Baby Returned Jonathan Irish appeared on the Alex Jones Show this evening and said his infant daughter, Cheyenne, was returned to him and his fiancé, Stephanie Taylor. The state of New Hampshire, citing neglect, had abducted the newborn at the Concord Hospital. Irish expressed his gratitude for the return of his daughter but said he was not at liberty to divulge details on the release due to a court gag order. Irish told Alex Jones that his name was confused with that of another man with a similar name. The second man apparently has a record of domestic abuse and violence. A court affidavit stated Jonathan Irishs association with the Oath Keepers as one of the primary reasons the child was taken. The Division became aware and confirmed that Mr. Irish associated with a militia known as the Oath Keepers and had purchased several different types of weapons, including a rifle, handgun and taser, the affidavit states. The Oath Keepers was founded in March of 2009 in in Lexington, Massachusetts. The nonprofit organization advocates that its members, who are current and former U.S. military and law enforcement officers, uphold the Constitution of the United States should they be ordered to violate it. The Oath Keepers organization is not a militia as the court affidavit and corporate media insist. After Cheyenne was abducted by New Hampshires Division of Children, Youth and Families, authorities prevented Jonathon Irish from seeing his child. Authorities cited security threats as the reason for blocking visitation without explaining precisely what those threats were. Irish, his fiancé Stephanie and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes appeared on the Alex Jones Show on October 11 to discuss this violation of basic visitation rights. On Friday, October 8, the FBI sent bomb-sniffing dogs into Concord Hospital to intimidate people who had gathered to protest against the snatching of a baby by the DCYF. On October 13, Stephanie Taylor voiced concerns when she discovered blood in her babys diaper during a supervised visit at the at a Strafford County administration building. After authorities determined there was no indication of any abuse, the child was returned to foster care. Will Bunch, writing for the Soros funded Media Matters for America, led a corporate media campaign to demonize Irish and characterize as a bizarre right-wing campaign the effort to have the child returned to its parents. Bunch writes that the evidence is overwhelming that the girl was taken from Irish and the mother Stephanie Taylor at the hospital for the only reason that the government should take that extreme step: To ensure the safety of an otherwise helpless child. Bunchs assertion that CPS agencies protect children is at odds with the record. As the late Nancy Schaefer has documented, child protection services around the country have a record corruption and are often detrimental to the health and well-being of children. CPS agencies often act as legalized kidnapping services. Now that the court has admitted that the child was taken in error and Jonathan Bunch is in fact not an abusive father and the authorities had either confused or deliberately associated Irish with the behavior of another individual, Mr. Bunch and Media Matters should immediately apologize for slandering Irish, Taylor, and Alex Jones. Media Matters, however, will likely not apologize or set the record straight because this obviously conflicts with its agenda to demonize the growing patriot movement and portray constitutionalist groups like Oath Keepers as paranoid right-wing extremists.

The Little Details
Running Time: 130 min.
Production Date: 2 / 12, 21, 22 / 2004, 3 / 1, 2 / 2004
Director: Joachim Kessef
Cast: Arwen, Claudia, Kleopatra, Natalli, Sarka Blue, Suzie Carina, Trinity, Franco Roccaforte, and Joachim Kessef
The Short Story
Initial Expectations: This has been a pretty good series. I'm looking forward to this installment.
Initial Reaction: It's another very good interracial anal feature
Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting interracial anal with European talent
Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting anal interracial action where it seems like the girls are constantly being pushed into nastiness
The Technical Stuff
Audio /Video Quality: The audio is darn good. The audio is clear, nicely balanced, and free of any background noises. The video is also very good, and is nicely lit and free of grain.
Music: The music is very repetitive with a drum machine and electronic feel. It's nicely balanced, but with the repetitive feel even that's a bit too loud.
Menus: The main menu is very simple and combines a clip from the movie with a still picture. The chapter menu is pretty stereotypical, and lets you choose between two points in each scene based on a small clip and a chapter number.
The Feature
Joachim Kessef continues his interracial anal sex series for Digital Sin with Black in the Ass 3. The talent is all European and the scenes normally start with a nice tease before quickly getting on with the anal. It's a familiar formula, but one that seems to work.Scene 1 - Claudia, Arwen, Joachim Kessef, and Franco Roccaforte |
After the girls play lightly for a moment, the guys rush in with Joachim taking Arwen and Franco getting Claudia. They take the girls straight to the A missionary style before Arwen and then Claudia get a little reverse cowgirl anal action from Joachim. Arwen eagerly sucks his cock clean and lets Franco ream her rectum doggie style. The guys keep going working their way between the girls fucking each of their asses in missionary, reverse cowgirl, and doggie before Claudia kicks things up a notch by having them double team her. She follows it up with another DP after riding Franco cowgirl style as Arwen watches and diddles herself. Finally Joachim pops on Claudia's gaping ass before Franco spews his seed across her ass and lets Arwen lick it all up.
This is a pretty hot scene. The girls are both enthusiastic, but the balance between them didn't quite work as Claudia took much more anal while Arwen concentrated on the oral end of things. Arwen also seemed uncomfortable with the anal. Finally, I would have liked a little more interaction between the girls, such as some cum swapping at the end. This is a pretty good start for the movie.
Scene 2 - Sarka Blue and Joachim Kessef |
Very cute dirty blonde Sarka starts out the second scene walking in and hiking up her skirt to show her panties shoved up her ass. The pulls them out and brings them over to Joachim, who's waiting on the bed, and feeds them to him. They sixty-nine each other with a little ass play for Sarka before Joachim bends her over to concentrate on her ass with his tongue and fingers. He lets her suck his fingers clean before giving her a hard buttfucking, and then rolls her over to eat her a little more. Joachim fucks her again and shoves her panties back in her ass before working them between her mouth and his. Joachim and Sarka mix up the oral play and assfucking with him giving it to her in most of the common positions, such as both cowgirls, pile driver, spooning, and missionary complete with a bit of toe sucking. Finally he gives Sarka a dribbly pop on her pussy and ass before shoving her panties back in her ass and sending her on her way.
This is a hot scene, and possibly my favorite in the movie. I love the opening and that Joachim had Sarka's clothes stay on the entire scene. There's great chemistry and energy throughout the scene, but it felt just a hair long. This is a great scene.
Scene 3 - Trinity, Kleopatra, and Joachim Kessef |
Trinity and Joachim start things out kissing before Trinity goes over to start sucking Kleopatra's dildo mask while stroking Joachim's cock. Trinity sucks him before letting him eat her from behind as she munches on Kleopatra lying back on a bench. Joachim fucks Trinity's ass doggie style on the bench, and even has Kleopatra give it to her with her mask. Trinity eagerly sucks both of them clean before being stuck in the stockade and getting a bit of anal mish. Kleopatra hops on top so she can get reamed a bit as well while Trinity sucks her dildo mask again. Joachim moves the mask over to Trinity, and then makes sure that Kleopatra gets analized doggie style from both of them. They team up on Joachim's cock to get him ready, and then let him have one last missionary poke at Kleopatra's ass before popping between their faces.
This is an okay scene. Joachim makes a nice effort at trying to vary things, but it doesn't quite work. The mask seemed overused and the scene seemed to go on forever. Finally, the chemistry didn't seem as good here as in other scenes. This scene was a nice idea that just didn't work too well for me.
Scene 4 - Natalli and Joachim Kessef |
Natalli starts things out teasing Joachim before letting him eat her from behind. He moves on to slowly fuck her ass from behind while Natalli licks the table in front of her, and even sucks his cock clean. Joachim works Natalli's ass through darn near every common position, covering standing, regular, and reverse cowgirl, spooning, doggie, missionary, and even pile driver while letting Natalli suck him clean and show off some gapes. She finally sucks him to a pop on the table, and licks up every bit she can.
This is an okay scene. There's nice chemistry and energy between Natalli and Joachim, but the scene feels very long. It could have really used a little tighter editing. Joachim also holds the scene back by looking like he was having some wood problems as well as having a poor pop. Natalli is great in this scene, but Joachim holds it back.
Scene 5 - Suzie Carina and Joachim Kessef |
Suzie starts out the final scene diddling herself quickly before moving over to suck Joachim's cock. She bends over for him so that he can lick, finger, and finally fuck her ass, and sucks his cock clean as soon as it's offered to her. Suzie lets Joachim stretch out her sphincter in reverse cowgirl and missionary, and also lets him have his way with both her holes as he spoons her. Finally she sucks him to a pop on the wood floor and then licks it up. It's a great idea, but unfortunately I don't think Joachim popped more than about twelve drops.
This is a pretty good scene. It starts out with some good chemistry but ends up faltering a bit. The energy level is nice, and Suzie does a nice job playing with what little cum she can get at the end. This is a decent scene to end things with, and has Suzie showing some very nice potential.
Joachim Kessef does another nice job with Black in the Ass 3. He's assembled a great crew of girls here who are all very hot and natural, and has done a great job giving them sexy outfits. It's also obvious that these girls love anal action. Joachim also does a very nice job trying to mix up that action and give things a little variety, even though it doesn't always work the best. After seeing so many cookie cutter scenes, however, even the attempt at trying something new is a bit refreshing. He keeps things fairly straightforward, and does a nice job balancing out the camera angles through the action. The biggest problem I can have here, however, is the male talent. Joachim can do a nice job, but having him in scene after scene gets old (especially because he has a few wood problems and his pops aren't always the best). Adding another guy or two would definitely improve things in those departments as well as expanding some of the feel of the movie. Black in the Ass 3 is a nicely done interracial anal movie that's worth checking out.
The Extra Stuff
The photo gallery includes roughly three dozen excellent looking full screen photos. Trailers are included for seven of Digital Sin's series. There's also company information, web information, and a bonus scene.Bonus Scene - Dana Vespoli, Manuel Ferrara, and Mark Ashley |
The bonus scene comes from ATM Machine 4. After a long lingering look, Dana attacks Manuel and Mark's meat with plenty of throat action and great eyes. She moves up to ride Manuel cowgirl style and then moves over to give Mark a little of the same while sucking the other. She lets Mark have the first anal poke doggie style before getting in a little reverse cowgirl anal with Manuel, and of course takes plenty of tastes of her ass from each of them. The guys also work her ass over with a bit of spooning and missionary work before finally decorating her pretty face.
This is an excellent scene! It starts with great chemistry and matches that with excellent energy and intensity. As usual, Dana puts her eyes to maximum usage to kick things up another level, and manages to balance cocksucking and trash talking the entire time she's getting fucked. This is a fantastic fucking scene!
The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff
Themes: Straight, interracial, anal, group, feet, ass to mouth, rimming (male > female and female > male), DP, masturbation, spanking, lesbian, and toys
Raincoat Factor: Borderline extreme
Condom Usage: None
The Bottom Line:
Currently, many Digital Sin DVDs can be found online for between $15 and $29 with many stores offering them for around $20. If you want anal interracial sex, this one's well worth the money. The sex varies a bit through the movie, but is almost always well above average. The technical aspects are handled very well, and there's even a great bonus scene. This is a nicely done DVD that shows some very good care.Note to Digital Sin: It's really great to see how you've improved your DVDs in the last year!

Bulgaria's Rozhen observatory, the largest in Southeast Europe, will have to stop working in three weeks due to severe budget cuts imposed by the government.
"We have been forced to close the observatory and cancel all kinds of observatory-related activities. And the worse problem is that no one knows what would happen as a result," Rozhen astronomer Nikola Petrov has told bTV.
The observatory is now unable to pay for its electricity and water supply, with astronomers living on minimum wages (approximately EUR 148 a month).

Dear friends,
A very good all, We were able to build a small basic jobsite for our own firm but we failed to display a good formatted CV/resume in the browser as monster jobs or any other jobportal provides.
How could we display/view a word, PDF, txt file stored in the datebase when employer clicks on view resume.
You suggestion and comments of the above will be highly appreciated.

You can store the document as a binary large object (BLOB). Then when you output the document you would preface it with a "header()" call containing the content-type.
PHP Code:// generic Content-type header
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
Jul 3, 2008, 08:02 #3
You can also store the files in a non-web-accessible directory on your server, then use readfile() to send it out with the same content type that Trent mentioned:
PHP Code:<?php
$file = '/path/to/file/a98d76cb0cce.doc';
$name = 'resume.doc';
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: filename='.$name);

NBA Feet: Steph Brings Home 3-Point Crown in UA Curry One PE by Patrick Johnson 9 Comments
August 23, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 5
Kyrie Irving is the face of the new Hyperdunk 2013, the young star guard having risen to the forefront of Nike Basketball's longest running non-signature line after wearing the 2011 and 2012 versions in each of the last two seasons. Here we see Irving once again in the previous campaign's model, but this time it's the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 Low in wich he was spotted. This 'Chill Camo' Kyrie Irving PE gives the HD12 Low an eye-catching makeover with colors that lean toward the Australian national team, or maybe even Brazil with the blue Swoosh and sockliner. Click through to see more, let us know how these compare to Irving's Hyperdunk 2013s and stick with Sneaker News for the latest player exclusive as we head toward a new season of NBA Feet.

Is there any CSS hack to target just browsers that do not support the text-shadow
CSS property?
It is a very important visibility/readability/accessibility problem, since something like having light gray text with a dark shadow on a white bg may become unreadable if the dark text shadow is not visible. And the designer insists on using this, and not using text image replacements. (I could try and target recent browsers, but I had the surprise of even IE9 not understanding text-shadow
, and god only knows what the support for this is on all the mobile devices out there...)

I took a look at the website. (I finally had time to get on the "confuser" today.) Looks very interesting. Definitely more organized locally than I thought. I'm going to try to scam some "competition" ammo from the range guys. I know one guy who competes in high power and gets ammo issued to him. Maybe for this type of competition................
After I get my car back from the shop tomorrow (assuming the car is finished on time), I'll try to swing by TGR tomorrow to check it out.

Car not ready........... couldn't talk the wife into Markham. So............. later we went to a terrorist target....... the Fair. I had the evening off, so Saturday wasn't a total waste. Maybe next week.
Next match at Trail Glades will be 9 April at 0800HRS until about 1400 or so. I'll be there. Bring weapon, holster, spare mag carriers and a COVER GARMENT to wear while shooting. Bring a shotgun if you have one suitable because there will be a shotgun assault course to run after the pistol matches. And you'll need about 150-200 rds of ammo for the handgun and prolly 25rds of shotgun.Originally Posted by Obiwan

I wish my 642 had a pinned on front sight,That is about the only advantage I can see you are gaining for the additional $300!
This is a discussion on Picked up my new 340 M&P 357 today!! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I wish my 642 had a pinned on front sight,That is about the only advantage I can see you are gaining for the additional $300!...
I wish my 642 had a pinned on front sight,That is about the only advantage I can see you are gaining for the additional $300!
As I was handling the S&W .357 at the gun shop I frequent, the armorer was showing me how the top strap, the metal frame part that goes from handle to across the top of the cylinder and connects and surrounds the barrel just ahead of the cylinder is removeable and the barrel can be removed and replaced. Apparently this isnt something you can do with all revolvers? I dont know myself, I just know what he physically showed me.
I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry.
- Barack Obama Chicago Tribune, April 27, 2004
I'll never fiorget the time I bout a S&W 629 44 magnum w/4" barrel paid 350.00 NIB and bought some 240 grn JHP,the first shot i drilled the bullseye and the next 5 after I at least kept them on the paper,I bought some 44 special after that
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
You'll love this gun. Just practice with mild .38's and you can shoot a box of 50 without any serious discomfort. Carry and occasionly fire some .38+P personal defense ammo and you'll be fine. I shoot a few .357's in my 340 once in a while. It is fierce but a cylinder full won't hurt too bad.
The one item that is worth every penny if you carry a snubbie is a set of Crimson Trace laser grips. They add no weight or bulk to the gun but will increase your accuracy and speed with this small frame, short barreled gun.
I just picked up an M&P 340 last week. At 13 ounces I was very leery of shooting .357 Mag. loads in it. (The Hoag grips are a tad small for my hand).
My range trip started with some light, .38 Spec. SWC loads I'd put together. No sweat. All grouped very well and the pistol was very easy to control. The next 'test' was with Cor-Bon, .38 +P. Again --- a fair grouping at 25 feet and not any 'pain' with recoil. Following several rounds of +P, I took a deep breath and loaded up 5 rounds of Win. 110 gr., .357 Mag. 'Self Defense' ammo.
I was pleasently relieved that my hand didn't separate from my wrist!!! It 'stung' a bit but I didn't lose consciousness. In fact --- I put another 5 rounds down range after that!! ( I wouldn't want to practice with .357 loads but a couple of cylinders full at the end of the session isn't too bad!)
I really love this little revolver!! A real good 'hidey gun' with a punch!!!

nice gun purchase,,,enjoy,,
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion
Yeah, i'm out of town this week, but as soon as I get back Thursday noonish..off to the range I go with my new 340 to shoot a variety of loads..I'm anxious..
I don't try anything...I just do it!
That's a bit high, period! Here's one from a shop near me for $579. https://shop.vanceoutdoors.com/16307...l-p-16121.htmlI am considering one myself. $800 for the one I looked at. Thats a bit high for my wallet at the moment.
They sell them WITH Crimson Trace for $750, but they appear to be out of stock right now.
I have the 340, and added CT grips myself (LG405s) and love it. I carry Speer Gold Dot .357s made for the short barrel. They have less recoil, less flash, and the bullet is designed to expand at the slower velocity.
In my opinion, the gun is fun to shoot with 38s, stings with +Ps, and downright smarts with 357s. However, I find most of the pain to be the next day (or three, or four ;)). In the middle of shooting I find it easy to control, and sufficiently easy to follow up. I don't think rapid fire is the right mindset if you are going to rely on a 5-shot revolver, anyway!
Good luck!
Nice gun! I shoot .357's through mine quite frequently.
I practice with MagTech .357 Mag 158gr SJSP Flat

and carry MagTech Guardian Gold .357 Mag 125gr JHPs

I usually shoot between 50 and 100 practice rounds a week
When I first bought the gun, 5-10 .357's was about all I could handle in one sitting. Now they're not really a big deal. It's definitely fun to take friends to the range and win bets on how many rounds they can shoot tho
Yeah, I got kinda in a rush to buy it, and didn't shop it. One dealer close to my job had it for $100.00 cheaper and I never even thought of asking them. Chalk it up for experience. Good thing I'm making TONS of cash right now..or else I might consider taking it back to get a refund...I guess I can take that G23C price and counter balance it. I bought that for around $429.00 around two months ago, and it shouldve been somewhere around $550. according to the guy that sold it to me. But he committed to the price and stuck with it. So it balances out I guess. Either way, I'm happy with my purchase and can't wait to shoot it.
I don't try anything...I just do it!
Sorry - I didn't mean to rub it in, I thought you were still in "shop" mode. It is a fantastic gun!
I just added a Sig P239 to the arsenal today, and if it makes you feel better, I WAY overpaid...
Im not a big revolver guy but I want that one
Mixed Martial Arts Record= 2-0.......Kyokushin Karate Record=5-0
USMC.....helping enemies of America die for their countries since 1775
Desperado: I don't know if this applies to the M&P but my 340PD has a restriction to not shoot bullet weights less than 120gr's. It is printed on my barrel. Thought I'd mention it.
This and my Glock 27 are probably my favorite two pistols.
