Interactions Between Cavity Preparation and Restoration Events and Their Effects on Pulp Vitality
Kessiri Wisithphrom, DDS / Peter E. Murray, PhD / Imad About, PhD / L. Jack Windsor, PhD
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0723
The purpose of this study was to investigate the precise effect and rank the importance of cavity preparation and restoration variables on human pulp vitality. Fifty-three Class V unexposed cavities were prepared and restored with calcium hydroxide/amalgam, resin-modified glass ionomer, zinc oxide–eugenol, resin composite, or zinc polycarboxylate materials. Pulp vitality was reduced by the remaining dentin thickness of the cavity preparations, whereas the other variables, including the type of restorative material, had little effect. Restorative materials cause minimal pulp damage in isolation; it is more important to minimize the removal of intact dentin to maintain the vitality of teeth. (Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent 2006;26:596–605.)

Sony Opts To Make Spider-Man Reboot Even More TerribleBy Will LeBlanc 2010-01-12 11:24:18 comments
I think Cinema Blend has belabored the idea that rebooting the Spider-Man franchise is one of the worst ideas since invading Iraq. But Sony is just making it too easy for us to thrash them for their continually poor choices.
Hollywood Insider has just released an article saying that Sony will be looking for a more contemporary, grittier look for the re-imagining of the webbed hero's origin story. What that means to you is that this reboot will just be Spider-Man 1 (a fucking origin story) painted over with a Dark Knight look and feel. What's even more earth-shatteringly idiotic is that they're shopping the director position to people who have made decided un-gritty movies. Marc Webb for example. Because (500) Days of Summer is the definition of grit. It's the grittiest film I've ever seen... on opposite day. Also having expressed interest in the job is Michael Bay, which tells me that Sony doesn't quite get the difference between action and grit, since his movies are all really shiny and Miami. Sony's decision as a whole is baffling, but these new developments seem even more ridiculous than rebooting a seven-year-old franchise. I think we can officially take out our trumpets and play Taps to commemorate the death of the Spider-Man franchise. It won't be coming back from this. Does anyone else think that aside from just being childish towards Sam Raimi that Sony is only rebooting the series so they can take another shot at Venom, which they so unceremoniously fucked up in Spidey 3?

If you are like me, you probably haven't used your car CD player in the last couple years, either because you use aux inputs and/or satellite radio. I figured why buy another radio with a disc player...and it's a good way to go as it turns out. This radio is a fantastic value. Sound quality is good and the storage compartment behind the face for your device is awesome. The biggest drawback to this receiver is the radio functionality. Storing and accessing station presets is a tedious and overly complex job, especially for something that is typically a no-brainer for Sony. I have to keep the instruction booklet closeby for this radio in general--it is not that intuitive. But certainly worth the price!
Love this stereo, this is my 2 sony always bought kenwood but every one of them over heated so back to sony and this one has a fan in the back and thats cool because most places you live is hot so why not a fan'' thank god no more cds that you have to find a place for them forget it i like this one to it holds your ipod inside ALL 10s for this one

Public Eye
It's Junior!
After dodging calls for a few weeks, Sunnyvale Mayor JACK WALKER confirmed Eye's suspicions and announced last Thursday that he's going to steer clear of the 22nd Assembly District race. The announcement, made in a press release fired off by Santa Clara Councilman ROD DIRIDON JR.'s campaign, included news that Walker is endorsing Diridon. . . . "I wasn't running the campaign I thought I needed to run to win," says a newly available Walker, who never really entered the race to begin with and didn't raise any money. "I just thought, you know, this isn't happening right now." Walker adds that Diridon Junior had already soaked up a lot of the endorsements and that he's happy with the younger Rod anyway. . . . Walker hands over the mayor's gavel at the end of November, and he's termed out when his second council term ends in 2003, but says he hasn't ruled out another run or another office. "I hate to say never," he muses. . . . Speaking of Diridon, Eye watchers will recall a recent item about DENELLE FEDOR, an aide to SJ Councilman KEN YEAGER, getting an improbable request to run for mayor. Now, Fedor is ditching City Hall for a gig managing Diridon's campaign. Fedor, who made an unsuccessful bid for a San Jose Union School District board seat in 1996, worked as Yeager's campaign manager last year in the primary and general contests for the District 6 seat. That's how Fedor met Diridon, who also helped out on the Yeager campaign. After 10 months on the job, Fedor stresses that she wasn't unhappy with the councilman, just looking for something bigger--like, Eye suspects, a job in the Capitol, if Diridon makes it. "I thought this would be a good move for me," she offers. Fedor starts with Rod this week. . . . Diridon also grabbed the endorsement of the Mountain View firefighters union, which snubbed its own councilwomen Sally Lieber and Rosemary Stasek to back Rod. Lieber tangled publicly with union prez DALE KUERSTEN this summer over recruiting issues, and Stasek says the firefighters never gave her a call.
Simon Salinas won't run for state Senate. Jack Walker (right) is dropping his Assembly bid.
Simon Says ...
Freshman Assemblyman SIMON SALINAS (D-Salinas) announced last week that he's going to run for re-election, instead of taking a last minute shot at the state Senate. Pay attention: Eye reported a couple weeks ago that Salinas was thinking about running for the 12th state Senate seat into which he was recently redrawn if fellow Assemblyman DENNIS CARDOZA (D-Turlock) pulled out of that race to run against Rep. GARY CONDIT (D-Modesto). Cardoza did announce that he would challenge Condit, but Salinas says he's going to stay on the sidelines of the race to succeed state Sen. DICK MONEITH (R-Modesto), who is also running for Condit's seat. . . . Salinas says he's ending his flirtation with the Senate race because it's too late to start trying to introduce himself to a Central Valley Senate district where 70 percent of voters haven't heard of him--and do it before the March primary. "It took me two years almost to get to know the whole 28th AD," Salinas says. "I needed time to get to know the area, the communities, the voters, and so with this the crunch time is just too tight for me." Salinas, a single dad, says he also wasn't looking forward to spending all of next year away from his 11-year-old son. . . . Meanwhile, Jeff Denham, who lost to Salinas last year, confirms that he's been eyeing the 12th Senate seat, but hasn't made any decisions yet. "We're trying to make sure we have the support," says the Republican agribusinessman, who is still working with his consultant from the Assembly race.
Frequent Flier: Dick Gephardt flew in for a quick speech last week--and quickly flew back out.
Illustration by Jeff Kearns
See Dick Run?
House Minority Leader DICK GEPHARDT went out of his way to court valley execs last week, keeping a months-old promise to speak at the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group's annual Public Policy Luncheon Friday at the Fairmont. Gephardt flew in that morning, spent a half-hour onstage, then ducked out and flew back to Washington. . . . Speaking to reporters before the event, the eyebrowless Missouri Democrat took shots at Congressional Republicans, who he said are trying to block passage of the airline security bill because it would federalize airport screeners. Gephardt dedicated most of his speech to addressing terrorism and the U.S. response, but also threw a few bones to the 1,200 business leaders in the audience, including calls to make permanent the R&D tax credit, fix the AMT and promote broadband service. . . . Dick failed to live up to his boring-guy image, delivering a slick speech that kept bigwigs from dozing off. It was, however, impossible not to hear the stump speech coming through, as Gephardt, forceful at times, sounded more and more like a presidential candidate. A couple times, he sounded unmistakably like GEORGE BUSH, lifting a few phrases right out of the president's mouth. "We must root out and bring to justice the evildoers," Gephardt intoned, adding that the transgressions "must not stand." Gephardt also gave a shout out to Infoseek Founder STEVE KIRSCH, whose name also appears on a $240,000 check to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That's a national organization whose sole purpose is to send Democrats to the House--and, next year, try and grab a majority that would turn Gephardt into the House Speaker. . . . Gephardt took a few softball questions before leaving, including: "Will you run?" Formulating his response, Gephardt opened his mouth a bit, but didn't speak, then allowed a thin, knowing smile to spread across his face, and deadpanned: "I think we should fight terrorism in every form."
Mouse in the House
With all the Merc's internal memos leaking to industry websites, it seemed there must be a rat in the office. But as it turns out, it was another kind of rodent infestation: mice. Newsroom sources say they have been taking turns boxing up their stuff so exterminators can get in and put the whiskered pests on final deadline. One scribe says that a couple of the fuzzy critters fell out of a light fixture and landed on the copy desk (screams) and a graphic designer was surprised to learn that a nest had been found in her cubicle. . . . A couple of scribblers surmise the uninvited guests came calling after a field adjacent to the Merc compound was plowed under, sending the mice in search of that elusive valley commodity: New housing.
San Jose Councilman CHUCK REED began questioning Mayor RON GONZALES's budget authority last year, and he still wants to know where the buck stops. It's not Reed's first shot at the Gonzatollah, either. As chronicled by Eye, the City Charter-toting legal eagle recently pushed for--and won--a more council-centric evaluation process for top city employees. Reed is now pushing to give the council a bigger role in the annual budget process, which in past years has been dominated by Mayoral Budget Director JOE GUERRA. . . . In a memo to the Rules Committee last week, Reed proposed a series of improvements to get councilmembers involved earlier in the process and reach out more to the public. Most importantly, Reed says councilmembers should get the city manager's budget request at the same time as the mayor--something the mayor's office says is already the case. He also calls for a searchable budget to be posted online early in the process along with instructions on how to search it. . . . "I went through last year's budget process and I was not pleased with the way it was handled," says Reed, whose beef is that the council doesn't get some parts of the $2 billion budget until it's too late to make meaningful input. Usually, department heads submit their budget requests to the mayor so he can work on the budget forecast, Reed says, but there's some behind-the-scenes tweaking that goes along with that early peek. "The budget is going into the mayor's budget office to be edited and reworked before it comes to the council," Reed charges. "I don't think that Joe should be doing the City Manager's job of putting together the budget. The manager ought to put it together and then give it to the council and the mayor at the same time. That's what the charter says." . . . Guerra, on the other hand, says the mayor's office doesn't get the budget early and "is abiding by the charter 100 percent." . . . The issue is scheduled to go to the full council, along with some analysis from the City Attorney, on Nov. 6. One councilmember says it should get interesting: "This is a constant battle. [Reed] is always doing this. He's challenged the mayor several times on who gets information and whether the mayor has more of a say than the council, so I think we will see this continue to escalate."

Bathroom vanity units can be a wonderful focal point for a bathroom. Every family member and guest who goes into the bathroom is likely to use the basin, even if they don't use the bath or the shower; a striking vanity unit should give them each a positive and lasting impression of the room's decor.
At Better Bathrooms, our vanity units are available in different depths and widths to suit most sizes and shapes of bathroom. A slimline vanity unit can be very helpful in making the most of a narrow bathroom; semi-recessed sinks can sit on top and project over the front, so that you get a full size sink on a slender cabinet and, if there isn't the room for this option, smaller or even cloakroom sized basins and vanity units are available too.
Both narrower vanity units and those in more luxurious widths can be teamed with other coordinating units from a range to create a fully fitted bathroom. Alternatively, you can opt for a simple basin and WC combination unit or pair a standalone vanity unit with sanitaryware rather than with other bathroom furniture.
Choose from vanity units with cupboards and internal shelving, drawers, or both, and select your preferred style and finish for the perfect match with your home's interior style: high gloss white (with matching countertops or countertops in contrasting black) is always popular, as are our walnut, wenge and oak finishes.

The last time I heard someone utter, "Don't worry -- no one will ever know," the response was, "What are you smoking, crack?"
The crack comment was not meant literally, but figuratively. It made its point: Don't assume that you can get away with something; people do find out, and you have to think through decisions. The result: The action suggested was not taken -- success.
We all experience those moments. The moment when someone in the room says, "Don't worry, no one will ever know." If we are lucky, we have someone else in the room who snaps us back to reality. Someone who asks, "Are you serious?" Someone who reminds us to stay on the right path.
Others might not have anyone to remind them of reality and might instead go with the flow. This week's controversy over Rielle Hunter's GQ photos, one of Hunter lying on a bed in what appears to be only a white shirt, is an aide memoire of what might happen. According to Hunter, she went with the flow on the photo shoot, but when she saw the photos she "found them repulsive."
Most people understand that when they take their pants off during a photo shoot for a magazine, or it looks like they took their pants off, that the pictures might be published.
Hunter needed someone standing next to her during the photo shoot saying: "Seriously, what are you thinking? Of course the photos will be used. That's why they take them."
With this week's health care vote, that's the voters' job. To snap the House back to reality. "Nobody wants to vote for the Senate bill," Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters Monday.
Since no House member wants to vote for the Senate bill, Pelosi is trying to figure out how to get the legislation enacted without having a direct vote on it.
Pelosi is stuck. If she wants to deliver health care legislation to President Obama to sign, she must do so using the existing Senate bill.
This week, the focus has been on how it might be possible to send the legislation to the president without the House voting for it. The House does not agree with the Senate bill, and as Pelosi noted, House members do not want to vote for it.
As some might say: These are facts, not problems. The question the House leadership is wrestling with is how to manipulate the process, recognizing the facts, to produce the results desired.

HAMPTON - A woman who falsely accused a Hampton man of sex crimes pleaded guilty Tuesday morning.
Elizabeth Coast faces up to 10 years in prison for perjury when she's sentenced on August 19.
During her the trial in June 2008, she said Johnathon Montgomery forced her to perform oral sex. He was convicted and sent to prison.
He was released just before Thanksgiving 2012 after more than four years behind bars after Coast admitted she lied to avoid scrutiny by her parents after she was caught looking for sexually explicit websites.
Governor Bob McDonnell issued a conditional pardon for Montgomery and ordered his immediate release.
The prosecution said Coast confessed to a police officer friend that she lied and added the she and Montgomery had never done anything.

CLUB BRASIL was born in 1990 when Michael Mitchell (aka 'DJ Mitch') brought the sounds of Brazil to the streets of London. CLUB BRASIL had humble, if pioneering roots, with Mitch setting up the first ever Brazilian and Latin music stalls in Portobello and Camden markets, the biggest street outlets in Europe.The music couldn't be confined to Vinyl Junkies for long and that same year he got together with Brazilian's Regina Webb and DJ Edson to open one of London's first Brazilian Clubs, 'Cantinho Brasilero' which quickly became a cornerstone of Latin America on London's world-famous Oxford Street.Inspired by the response to 'Cantinho Brasilero' (View Poster Artwork) and the growing demand for quality music, Mitch spent time in Brazil throughout 1991 listening to sounds and returning with a stock pile of Brazilian music on LP and CD for the stalls in London. Meanwhile a new trend had emerged, the thousands of Japanese visitors to London each year would come, not in search of Harrods and Buckingham Palace, but of rare 60' s and 70's Brazilian albums.The popularity of the music grew amongst natives and visitors alike. Mitch returned to Brazil in 1993 to organise the reissue of some classic Brazilian albums for the Japanese market.The following years were a period of whirlwind activity, not only did CLUB BRASIL collaborate with HPI Brazil and reissue classic albums from artists including Joyce, Marcos Valle, Banda Black Rio, Flora Purim, Tania Maria, Azymuth and Wanda Sa but also reappeared in a burst of sound and colour on London's live scene.This was inspired by a night in Rio De Janeiro in 1993 when Mitch met the legendary Brazilian Superstar Ed Motta. The two, having agreed on their mission to bring the spirit of Rio across the Atlantic.Mitch organised a show featuring Ed at Dingwalls (View Poster Artwork) in Camden which proved a revelation and it was the beginning of CLUB BRASIL's transition to a wider stage. That same year Mitch DJ'd at the Notting Hill Carnival, the street party 2nd only to Rio's Mardi Gras. After his first set lit up the streets of west London, he became a fixture at carnival. It wasn't just the crowd he turned on, sound system owner David Boland saw the immediate popularity of CLUB BRASIL and since then Mitch has played every year. He and David are now rapidly approaching their eleventh year appearing with the CLUB BRASIL crew to undiminished acclaim.CLUB BRASIL's show at Carnival 2000 was a defining moment, having brought the cream of London's Latin DJ's together under one banner, Mitch played alongside luminaries including Alex Chileno, Andrew Lorenzo, CC Romain and Frank Binder. Not only was this a celebration of three decades of Brazilian sounds, they mixed cutting edge hip-hop and drum & bass in a two day extravaganza which kicked the English reserve in to touch and raised the roof at the Millennium Carnival. Following this success, this Latin DJ 'Dream Team' launched a series of parties in and around London as a unified CLUB BRASIL, all of which saw huge crowds abandon themselves to new and original Latin sounds.As CLUB BRASIL rapidly progressed, it introduced Samba shows and performances of the Brazilian Martial Arts Dance Capoeira into the experience.To join CLUB BRASIL's next party see the 'Party Guide'.In 2000 Mitch decided to take CLUB BRASIL to its next logical step of creating and releasing it's own music on a Record Label.After co-producing the album 'Bossa Jazz' in 1999 with London's hippest Latin Jazz outfit 'Vida Nova', Mitch and the CLUB BRASIL team launched it's first solo album 'Sangue Latino' in 2002 and the follow up 'Sangue Latino 2' in 2003.The label was one of the first to spot the talents of Ive Mendes who has since gone on to become an international Brazilian star. Also record companies such as the world renowned P-Vine in Japan and Ministry of Sound have taken tracks from the CLUB BRASIL label to put on their own compilations.CLUB BRASIL continues to introduce new talent. Most recently it has supported new Brazilian singing sensation 'Andrea Marquee' (View Poster Artwork) at the world famous '100 Club' and CLUB BRASIL are now currently recording 3 new albums to be released in the summer of 2004.CLUB BRAZILIAN's can now wear their souls on their sleeves with CLUB BRASIL's own line of clothing (View Magazine Covers) as sported on the torsos of Latin music lovers from London to Rio to Tokyo and all points between.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a 2012 American fantasy comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Peter Hedges and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Based on a concept by Ahmet Zappa, the film is about a magical pre-adolescent boy whose personality and naïveté have profound effects on the people in his town.[4][5] It received mixed reviews from critics and had modest ticket sales in its debut weekend.
The film is told from the perspective of Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton), as they explain their experience with Timothy (CJ Adams) in an effort to persuade an adoption agency to allow the couple to adopt a child.
Cindy, who works in the town's local museum, and Jim, who is employed at the town's historic pencil factory, reside in the drought-stricken town of Stanleyville, North Carolina, self-labeled as "the world capital of pencil". The Greens are informed by doctors that they are unable to conceive. Distraught by the news, Jim convinces Cindy to dream up their ideal child and write the child's characteristics and life events on slips of notepad paper.
The couple places the notes inside a wooden box and buries it in the backyard garden. After a thunderstorm, which seemingly affects only their property, a ten-year-old arrives at their home claiming the Greens as his parents. After finding the box they buried smashed to pieces around a large hole in the ground where they originally buried it, and finding the boy inside their house, covered in mud, they realize that the boy, named Timothy, is actually a culmination of all their wishes of what their child would be. The Greens also discover that Timothy has a startling feature: he has leaves growing on his legs.
The next day, at a family picnic, Timothy is introduced to members of his family: Brenda Best (Rosemarie DeWitt), Cindy's pompous sister; James Green Sr. (David Morse), Jim's estranged father; and Mel (Lois Smith) and Bub (M. Emmet Walsh), Cindy's paternal aunt and uncle. The parents take Timothy to their friend and town botanist, Reggie (Lin-Manuel Miranda), where they learn that Timothy's leaves cannot be removed.
Timothy begins to attend school, where he meets Joni Jerome (Odeya Rush), a girl he encounters during a bullying incident, with whom he begins a friendly relationship. Meanwhile, the town's pencil factory, the largest employer in Stanleyville, begins laying off its employees. Timothy convinces Cindy and Jim to design a prototype for a new pencil in an effort to keep the pencil-producing business viable.
Unbeknownst to the parents, one of Timothy's leaves falls off each time he fulfills one of the qualities listed on the original slips of paper. Timothy eventually reveals to Cindy and Jim that his time of existence is short and that he will eventually disappear.
The Greens' meeting with the adoption counselor concludes with Cindy presenting a letter that Timothy left them before leaving. In the letter, he explains to them what he did with each of his leaves that fell off, with a montage sequence showing each person whose life Timothy touched. After an unspecified amount of time, the adoption counselor is shown pulling up to the Greens' house in a car with the little girl who is to become the Greens' daughter, Lily.

Critical response[edit]
The Odd Life of Timothy Green was met with a mixed to negative reception. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 33% of 120 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 5.2 out of 10, offering the consensus: "It means well, but The Odd Life of Timothy Green is ultimately too cloyingly sentimental—and thinly scripted—to satisfy all but the least demanding viewers."[11] Mary Pols of Time wrote, "This is a movie about old-time values, a movie with Frank Capra aspirations. But Timothy's life, his very conception by Zappa and Hedges, is definitely more odd than wonderful."[12] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune, praised the film's art direction and cast, "It's an elegant, honeyed production, photographed (in Georgia) by cinematographer John Toll, and it's full of interesting actors." However, he differed on the script saying, "this fable of the gifted child doesn't go for the throat as it goes about its odd business."[13] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times was more enthusiastic in his 3½ star review, calling it "a warm and lovely fantasy... on a picture-postcard farm in the middle of endlessly rolling hills where it is always Indian Summer."[14]
Box office[edit]
The film had a $2.3 million debut on August 15.[15] It made $7.68 million in three days and finished the weekend off with $16,377,472 domestically.[16] As of December 10, the film has grossed $51.6 million in North America.[3]

Taxi Fights and Fame Whores: Readers Respond
Fame Whores
Last week's cover story about a pack of prostitutes-turned–bank robbers had readers buzzing — and, yes, dreaming of the inevitable film treatment ("The Case of the Starlet Bandits," by Gene Maddaus). In addition to a few industry types looking to make a deal, we heard from a host of readers, including Rick Kardo, who writes, "Wow, that was CRAZY. There is so much in this story that I think Hollywood should make a movie. For real."
But deskjob45 writes, "Really? The best story you could find was about a pimp-rapist-loser-idiot-liar and some clueless prostitutes? And other bozo commenters here actually liked it? I laugh in disbelief."
Taxi Wars
But Maddaus' story about the starlet bandits actually got beat out in the mailbag by his other story in the issue — about the fight between the city's cab companies and the startup services (Lyft, Uber and Sidecar) that hope to beat them at their own game ("Hacks vs. Apps").
David Tulanian writes, "In April the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on a state audit that found that nearly 1.5 million travelers were victims of 'long hauling.' As a result, customers who rode from the airport to their hotel [via taxi] were charged about $10 more than necessary! Lyft's John Zimmer is right: Fear of competition is mainly why the entrenched L.A. taxi companies oppose his — and similar — ride-sharing services. While Lyft is bad for the cabbie monopoly, it seems good for consumers."
Julieeking vents, "Three weeks ago, when I arrived at LAX at 5:50 a.m., there was a 15-minute wait for any taxi. When our taxi arrived, I gave the cabbie our address in nearby Playa del Rey, which is spitting distance, but cab still gets his minimum $20 for it. The cabbie shook his head and made a sound of — maybe disgust, maybe anger.
"This wasn't the first time, but it was the most overtly rude cabbie for me. If the cab companies really don't want to boost the competition, they need to learn basic manners, including not talking on cellphones for the entire trip, and stopping the entitled, slightly put-out attitude of having to drive people somewhere. Who isn't going to go to the ride-sharing apps with cabbies like we have in L.A.?"
But Laughtiger has a different take. "You have the story backwards," he writes. "The big 'oligopoly' in the room is not the cab companies, which are mostly local, but the multicity 'app' companies, backed by millions in investment capital and, in the case of Uber, already a multinational.
"The 'technological improvement' argument is completely meaningless, since apps like this have been around for at least a year longer than any of these other companies. All they're doing is pushing to deregulate the local cab industry — in the long term you will have powerful multicity or multinational corporations like Uber controlling cab and limo dispatch, or cab drivers trying to make a living in their own vehicles as Lyft or Sidecar 'friends with cars.'

Michael Stefano, Manuel Ferrara, Ruby Knox, Jessie Andrews, Ava Addams, Lola Foxx
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Vignette
When Manuel Ferrara casts a girl, he's got a prime criterion: How slutty is she? In "Slutty and Sluttier 16," the French director/stud showcases some of the most sex-crazed whores in the XXX business in four epic vignettes of total "sluttitude." One thing's for certain: The incredible women here aren't your average sluts!
The sluts keep riding reigning AVN Male Performer of the Year Manuel Ferrara's dick and the dick of his pal Michael Stefano (another former AVN MPOTY) in this edition of the series. The sex is good and the setups are very fun.
Busty real estate agent Ava Addams will do whatever it takes to move the 1.2 million dollar home she shows Ferrara and wife Dana Vespoli, who remains behind the camera. Addams gets Ferrara to ditch the wife and offers him the best price on the house if he fucks her right. Ferrara keeps up his end of the bargain well, and her big ass looks good when she rides him in cowgirl. Crazy Jessie Andrews ties stranger Stefano to his bed for what could be perceived as non-consensual oral before the vag.

Colorado Courage Campaign and Columbine Father Launch Statewide Radio Campaign and Increase Newspaper Advertising Urging Udall, Congress to Close Gun Show Loophole
DENVER, April 19 /PRNewswire/ — On the eve of the 11th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, Tom Mauser, father of victim Daniel Mauser, questions why it has taken federal lawmakers more than a decade to require background checks at gun shows.
The shooters obtained three of their guns through a private seller at a gun show with no background checks, which directly contributed to the senseless killing of 13 and wounding of another 21. A year after the tragedy, Colorado voted overwhelmingly to close this loophole, but it remains open in many states, including every state surrounding Colorado.
"This endangers the lives of all of us," Mauser said. "This is a loophole in federal law that needs to be closed by Congress, so that Colorado's background check law becomes the law of the land. Sen. Bennett supports the bill, but Sen. Udall has not yet made his position clear."
Mauser is launching a statewide radio advertising campaign Monday and Tuesday, which asks voters to contact Sen. Udall requesting that he vote to eliminate the national gun show loophole. This radio promotion dovetails Mauser's full-page letter to Senator Udall that will be placed in the Denver Post and Boulder Daily Camera on Monday and Tuesday to bring attention to the issue.
Currently, Senate Bill 843, which would close this loophole, is being debated by Congress. In recent months, 87 percent of Americans polled said they supported criminal background checks* on gun purchasers at gun shows, and two out of three National Rifle Association members support criminal background checks at gun shows.**
*2008 bi-partisan poll conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and the Tarrance Group.
**2009 poll by Republican pollster Frank Luntz.

Charming 2 bedroom apartment in restored Tuscan farmhouse with pool located in historic Cortona
from £77 /night help Price for guests, Nights
Apartment / 2 bedrooms / sleeps 5
Availability Your dates are available
Apartment / 2 bedrooms / sleeps 5
Key Info |
La Lombarda is our charmingly restored traditional 18th century Tuscan farmhouse. La Stufa is a charming two bedroom apartment with wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. There is a comfortable sofa and two armchairs in the lounge, TV, DVD, books, games and videos for your enjoyment. The fully fitted kitchen/diner has a table and chairs, fridge/freezer, oven and hob and washing machine. On the first floor there is a pretty twin/double bedroom, with views over vineyards and olive trees, with en suite shower room. There is a second double bedroom with views towards Cortona and a further shower room. From the lounge french doors open onto your own private patio, where you can enjoy al fresco meals or simply relax with a glass of wine.
The La Stufa apartment was, formerly, a tobacco-drying tower which was added to the famhouse in the late 1800's. Tobacco was widely grown in the area before the subsidies were removed and was reputedly of a very high quality. Tobacco leaves would be hung from the beams around the inside walls of the tower and dried by the heat of the fire built in the centre of the earth floor.
The farmhouse is set in a rural landscape and is an oasis to which to return after a day's sightseeing. Relax by the pool and soak up the sun or sit under the jasmine covered pergola with a good book and a glass of local wine taking in the view of rolling countryside.
La Lombarda is ideally placed within easy reach of Tuscany's and Umbria's wealth of art and cultural centres. Cortona, nestling on its hillside is just 20 minutes away, with its medieval cobbled lanes is a delightful and atmospheric town. Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Perugia, Assisi and Lake Trasimeno are each within a one hour scenic drive. Florence and Montalcino are a little further afield, but less than 1 and half hours by car.
This part of Italy is a must for the holiday-maker seeking immersion in art, architecture and fine food and wine. For the more energetic there is a wealth of beautiful scenery in which to walk or cycle.

The Tuscany region
Tuscany and Umbria, a land of changing hues soaking in brillant light, stunningly beautiful and green, land of rolling hills, undulating valleys, rows of cypress, olive groves, blood-red poppies, glorious sunflowers, succulent-grape-full vineyards and picturesque mountains, unexpectedly, gently changing scenery, perfect for walking and cycling. The worlds's richest region for its mediaeval and renaissance art and architecture, Roman and Etruscan sites and museums. Renown for its charming, atmospheric and, sometimes, intriguing hill towns where the unsuspecting traveller may relax over the finest food and wine.
From its lofty perch, picturesque and historic Cortona an Etruscan town founded around 700b.c., much of the Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno may be surveyed: the mountains of Cetona and Amiata, and the town of Montepulciano to the south.
Cortona's excellent Etruscan museum houses fascinating and priceless relics including the 4th century B.C. 'Etruscan Chandelier'. The Diocese Museum has many works of significant artistic value, the masterpiece being Fra Angelico's 'Annuciation'.
Hidden in a cleft of Monte Sant' Egidio lies 'Le Celle' founded by Saint Francis in 1211. This peaceful, spiritual place is where the saint spent some time and where you can still see his cell. The monks here continue living their lives according to his teachings.
Stroll Cortona's medieval cobbled streets. Down from the Diocesan Museum is the characteristic Via del Gesù, dating 1300 - 1500 and still perfectly preserved. Sit and rest a while at a bar in Piazza del Repubblica and watch the world go by sipping a cappuccino or a glass of prosecco. Choose from one of Cortona's large selection of excellent restaurants serving simple local dishes to the gourmet, accompanied by local wines justly famous for their quality. Cortona has its own DOC and has in recent years gained an excellent reputation for its Syrah (Shiraz) wines, as well as for the ubiquitous Sangiovese.
In mid May Cortona stages the 'Archidado' games to commemorate the marriage in 1397 between Francesco Casali and the noblewoman Antonia Salimbeni. The crossbow skill challenge, marriage re-enactment and pageant take place in Piazza Signorelli.
Summertime is the season of classical, chamber and jazz concerts throughout Tuscany and Umbria. The traveller is spoiled for choice of entertainment with most villages holding festas and concerts.
'Ferragosto',15th August, at the peak of the Italian summer season, coinciding with the Feast of the Assumption, is celebrated in the Giardini del Parterre in Cortona with the 'Sagra della Bistecca' (T bone steaks cooked on 14 metre wide barbeques), and the following weekend, at the same location, the locals and visitors celebrate again with the 'Sagra del Porcino' (Porcini Mushroom festival).
Of course, Cortona is not the only attraction in the Valdichiana. The hill town of Montepulciano is quite close and is rightly famous for its architecture, views and, naturally, for its Sangiovese based wines, especially the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
Also, not to be over-looked is Lake Trasimeno, Italy's 4th largest, and where Hannibal defeated the Romans in 217 b.c. The area surrounding its shores provides nature trails, pony trekking, historic trails, boating, fishing, sailing. There are ferry services from the lakeside resorts to the tranquil islands of Maggiore and Polvese. A feature of the lands around the lake, and not be ignored, are the many and delicious individualistic wines to be found there. The lake provides a marvellous micro-climate, which together with the unique terrain, makes the area eminently suitable for the production of wine that is pleasantly distinct from its Tuscan neighbours.
A little further afield, but close enough, are the towns of Siena, Florence, Pienza, Perugia, Orvieto, Fiesole and Assisi, each of which would need a book to describe their attractions, but maybe it is sufficient to bring to the attention of the discerning traveller that each of them has its own unique history and beauty straining to be discovered. Take a scenic drive and discover the many hidden gems that this area has to offer.

"Ideal location for touring Tuscany and Umbria"
La stufa is a comfortable and well furnished apartment with ample room for two couples to enjoy their stay. The front bedroom has a nice view of Cortona and the rear bedroom looks out over La Lombarda's lovely garden and vineyard.
The apartment has a large kitchen diner with all the equipment you might need should you want a break from eating out in the nearby restaurants. La Stufa has its own patio with table and chairs for outside dining and relaxing.
La Lombarda is in a great place for exploring both Tuscany and Umbria.
Florence, San Gimignano , Sienna, Perugia and Assisi are easy reach and Peter and Nina were happy to provide information on these and other nearby places. They were also very helpful when it came to choosing and booking restaurants.
The converted farmhouse has a large front garden separating it from a quite country road making for a good nights sleep and a peaceful place to relax by the pool after a days sightseeing.

Our new devotional "If God Loves Me, Why Did I Lose My Job?" explores the struggle of unemployment. Sign up here.
(Nebo saves me), one of the officers of Nebuchadnezzar at the time of the capture of Jerusalem. He was Rab-saris, i.e. a chief of the eunuchs. (Jeremiah 39:13) Nebushasban's office and title were the same as those of Ashpenaz, (Daniel 1:3) whom he probably succeeded.


text: Product DetailsFred Harmon's popular comic strip and radio hero Red Ryder came to the screen in this above-average Republic serial directed by the team of William Witney and John English. Don Barry, until this film mainly playing villains, was cast in the title-role, a rancher organizing the local land owners in opposition to crooked banker Calvin Drake (Harry Woods) and his chief henchman Ace Hanlon (Noah Beery, Sr.). Having learned that the Santa Fe Railroad is planning to build a line through the town of Mesquite, Drake and Hanlon are attempting to buy all the surrounding land by any means possible, including murder. When Colonel Ryder (William Farnum), Red's father, is murdered by Drake's hired killers, Red teams of with his young Native American pal Little Beaver (Tommy Cook) and lovely Beth Andrews (Vivian Coe aka Vivian Austin), the daughter of another murder victim, Sheriff Andrews (Lloyd Ingraham). With the new sheriff (Carleton Young) in the employ of Drake and Hanlon, it takes the combined efforts of Red, Little Beaver, Cherokee (Hal Taliaferro, formerly Wally Wales) and "The Duchess" (Maude Pierce Allen), Red's indomitable aunt, to bring the villains to justice in the 12th and final chapter, "Frontier Justice." According to co-director Witney, a staged fire went out of control during the filming of this serial, almost burning the soundstage to the ground. Although highly praised by reviewers and audiences alike, Don Barry, whom some observers compared favorably to James Cagney, hated the role and balked at playing it again. Consequently, when Republic inaugurated a regular series in 1944, William Elliot played Ryder. But so popular was Barry's original rendition of the role that he would henceforth be known as Don \"Red\" Barry.Store CommentsNo store comments are currently available for this product How many would you like?
