Best porn apps for Android: you won't find these in the Play Store (NSFW)Authored by: Scott Adam Gordon — 4 months ago
The adult entertainment industry is one of the biggest and fastest growing industries in the world. For every 400 Hollywood movies that are made there are around 11,000 pornographic films, and the latest data from Pornhub says Android users are providing quite an audience. So if you want a better way to find the best porn videos on the internet (and why shouldn't you), here are the best porn apps on Android.
Disclaimer: the material these apps enable you to access is extremely graphic -- please do not consider installing them unless you are of the appropriate age in your jurisdiction. What's more, they aren't available from the Play Store itself. Download them at your own risk.
Pornhub is one of the largest sources of pornography on the internet, with thousands of videos to suit any and all tastes. The Pornhub app basically puts the website on your Android phone, and it's a well-designed and professional looking app. Pornhub also publishes annual demographics display which kinds of devices have been used to access which kind of videos. It's a very useful source of pornography and statistics.
SexTube is a quality app which uses an inconspicuous "Sys Config" style icon as a launcher. It's available in a number of languages and features different "channels" which each provide their own porn videos, or you can roll the dice with the "random" video selection and see what comes up. It's a minimalist application and doesn't offer the plethora of videos that Pornhub does, but it has variety.
Mikandi supports a lot of different "sex-themed" Android content beyond simple adult videos, though it offers a wide selection of those too. Mikandi features Android games, apps and more, but unlike the other adult apps on the list, some of Mikandi's content is not free. You can purchase currency within the app to spend on different channels. (Yes, in-app purchases in a porn app!) Once you've paid to unlock these channels, you must pay again to unlock the content in them. Some of this content does appear to be exclusive however, which might make Mikandi worth your while.
What would you say is the best porn app for Android? Got any other erotic apps you would like to share? Let us know in the comments below!

The absolute best app is MyVidster. Through its interface you can search and scroll everything on pornhub, sextube and just about every other similar type site. In addition to the bottomless library, you can save videos to your "collection" or download it directly on your device regardless of where that video is being hosted at. Its been recently removed from Google Play but theres a copy of it floating on the internet.

Gotham City Getaways
With the much anticipated premiere of Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, we certainly want to go beyond just seeing the films. For all of the Batman aficionados who hope to experience some of the scenes first hand, we bring you the numerous faces of Gotham City.
The Dark Knight had scenes shot in Chicago, Hong Kong, and London. The opening robbery of 'Gotham National Bank' by the Joker takes place at the Old Chicago Post Office, the offices of Harvey Dent and the boardroom of Wayne Enterprises are in the IBM Building in Chicago, and the restaurant where Bruce Wayne crashes Rachel's and Harvey's date is the Criterion Restaurant in London. The theater where Harvey attempts to take Rachel to see the ballet is the Chicago Theater on 175 North State St, and the meeting with the crooked financial tycoon is held in Hong Kong's IFC2, the tallest building in the city. The views over the Chicago River from Bruce Wayne's penthouse are actually taken from the 39th floor of the 71 Hotel, which is also where the bedroom of Wayne's penthouse was filmed.
Want more? Check out the other pieces of Gotham City here!
Hoping to view all of these movie destinations in person? Make your reservations for London, Chicago, and Hong Kong here!

New Luxury Hotels Opening: A Thompson Hotel in Chicago
We at Five Star Alliance are all about the best and most luxurious hotels. We certainly keep up with the happenings in the luxury travel world and take pride in bringing our clients the latest luxury travel news. Keep up with our blog series where we'll be featuring luxury hotels opening to stay on top of the trends and make your reservations at the newest hotspots.
Chicago is quickly becoming a thriving hotspot for new hotels to pop up, and it seems like the trend will continue for the foreseeable future. The Chicago Athletic Association will be converted into a 240-room hotel in 2014, and it's certainly the perfect building for a boutique luxury hotel. The historic building used to serve as a hangout spot for affluent Chicago bachelors in the 1990s. According to the Chicago Tribune, it was a spot where "one could exercise, enjoy a fine meal in a beautiful setting, and then retire to a comfortable room for the evening, all under one roof." Sounds to us like it already has a few of the key qualities of a luxury hotel, and we can't wait to see how this repurposing develops! Hoping to visit Chicago a bit earlier? Check out the other luxury hotels in the area here!

The Hazelton Hotel Toronto sets a new standard in style, detail, and service. The stunningly dramatic interiors designed by YabuPushelberg make the Hazelton Hotel a cultural destination in the lively city of Toronto. With its original mix of beautiful rooms, an incredible art collection, and a private screening room, this luxury hotel certainly offers its guests more than just a place to crash. Its extensive art collection, as with all art, raises a few questions amongst the guests, so the Hazelton Hotel, keeping true to its exceptional service, hired an Art Concierge to answer any questions regarding the art exhibits in the hotel as well as offer insight into the art dealers and galleries located in the area. Curious about the art displayed in your room? The Art Concierge can certainly answer those questions for you as well. What a wonderful way to allow guests to connect with their hotel! Be sure to check out the Hazelton Hotel Toronto and leave feeling very well rested and a little bit more art savvy!

We at Five Star Alliance work tirelessly to ensure we bring you the best luxury hotels selection and information regarding amenities, location, and highlights so you are confident that the hotel you choose will exceed your expectations and serve your needs. Sometimes, however, you are left with a few questions that go unanswered, and that's why we're here. Be sure to explore our new blog series 'Your Questions Answered' to find answers to real questions submitted to us by our clients regarding traveling with kids, pets, the best beach hotels, and much more.
Question: We are looking to book a 2 night accommodation, checking in 26th July and checking out 28th July. We are a party of three, 2 adults and our 6 year old daughter. We are looking to book a 5 star hotel either in the Marina District or Orchard Road District. Can you please advise on the best hotels to visit with our 6 year old daughter? It is difficult to determine from a web site which rooms are suitable for an additional bed for a child.
Answer: Overall, when traveling with kids you want to look for either a Junior Suite with a separate living area, a Suite with a separate living area, or a room with 2 double or 2 queen beds. Two great options are the Mandarin Oriental Singapore and the Four Seasons Singapore. The Mandarin Oriental is located in the heart of Marina Bay, and it has an Ocean Grand Room with 1 king or 2 twin beds which has a separate sitting area. The Four Seasons Singapore is steps from Orchard Road, and it has a few room options that can accommodate 3 people. It has a Deluxe Room with a king size bed or 2 twin beds, which start from 420 SGD per night, its Premier Corner Room with a king or 2 twin beds starting from 500 SGD per night, or its Boulevard Room with 1 king or 2 twin beds which has a separate sitting area and starts from 450 SGD per night. To view full nightly breakdowns and to make your reservations, simply click on the hotel name links, enter your dates of travel, and select a specific room type.

Please be advised that the rates, availability, as well as any extra person charges are subject to change depending on the hotel's policies.
It's Business Time: The Conrad Best Business Hotel Chicago
July 5, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
There's a very interesting split in the travel industry between business and leisure travelers. And if you're one of the business types, you know well that you're on the road constantly and the things that matter to you, travel convenience, efficiency, and connectivity, are almost the opposite of what a leisure traveler might want. If the word 'secluded' ever appeared in a hotel description, you'd cross it off the list immediately. So I'm here to use some adjectives you might appreciate hearing in describing some of the world's best business hotels. Today? Chicago.
There's a clear desination for business travelers to Chicago, and that's the Magnificent Mile. Right in the heart of the prestigious McGraw-Hill building, the Conrad Chicago gives you easy access to the city's financial district and just about anywhere else you might have a meeting. A 2,000 sq ft fitness center keeps you in shape while you're on the go, and its business center is naturally open 24 hours with full executive services. 12,000 sq ft of executive meeting space means no matter how many people you're hosting for that important meeting, you'll be sure to have the perfect arrangement, looking as sharp and professional as you would in your own office. The rooms are high-tech and connected, so you'll never feel out of touch if you don't want to be. And when you're done for the day you can relax with a soak and massage at their health club and spa or with a drink at the Rendez-Vous Bar and Lounge. The Conrad Chicago is definitely on our list of best business hotels.

Luxury Travel Advisor Tours The Brand New Palace Hotel Tokyo
June 15, 2012
By: Five Star Alliance
Five Star Alliance's sister publication, Luxury Travel Advisor recently had the pleasure of touring the brand new Palace Hotel Tokyo. Travel Guru Joe Pike (you can read more from Joe here: http://www.thejoepikeblog.com/) offers the following details about his recent stay:
Demolishing an iconic hotel isn't always a smart decision for a tourism-entrenched city to make, but when you replace it with a new, luxurious, $1.2 billion, modern chic hotel bearing the same name, it quickly turns into one of the best business decisions a destination can make.
Luxury Travel Advisor toured Wednesday the new Palace Hotel Tokyo, which officially reopened on May 17. It replaced the previous Palace Hotel Tokyo, which opened in 1961, was located at the same site and knocked down in 2009.
Here's what you need to know to pitch one of Japan's hottest new hotels.
The Rooms
All of the rooms face one direction, meaning every VIP, no matter what category they are staying in, gets view of the city.
Luxury Travel Advisor stayed in room no. 2207, a Club Deluxe Room W/ Balcony. Note: not all of these rooms have balconies, so be sure to request a balcony. Without a balcony, the room simply lacks one of our favorite features. There is nothing like seeing the city lit up at night, while enjoying a beverage on the terrace.
The best room here is the Palace Suite, which is the hotel's version of a Presidential Suite. The room is roughly 2,200 square feet. It comes with one bedroom with double beds, but can also connect. There are a lot of powerful colors in this room, including a lot of black and gold throughout the bedroom. Note: This room is a traditional Japanese style room and it's typical for Japanese couples to sleep in separate beds. There is also a very large balcony, 60-inch televisions in both the bedroom and the living and a separate kitchen and dining area. Tip: The dining area can be used for private dinners, including wine and sake pairings.
Restaurants and Bars
All of the restaurants are open to locals, which is why it is very important for advisors to book reservations for VIPs at least two weeks in advance since there is a huge local contingent of businessmen who frequent the hotel's restaurants.
The Grand Kitchen is located on the first level and where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Nice Touch: There is a small garden area outside that seats roughly 25 guests while another outdoor terrace area can seat up to 40 guests. Tip: Both outdoor areas can be rented out for small groups. The Grand Kitchen serves a number of cuisines from pasta to pizza to paelle. We ordered the "Hirata Farm" Pork Loin with mash potatoes, mushrooms and sage.
The Palace Lounge is a great place to have a cocktail. It has a very living room type feel and feels very homey. The lounge also has a piano with live performances nighty. Afternoon tea is served here from 2 - 4p.m. with more than 45 different teas offered.
The Royal Bar, located on the first floor is a very sophisticated bar with an impressive piece of abstract art occupying an entire wall. Fun Fact: The piece of an abstract dragon is meant to be an ode to the year the hotel reopened.
Wadakura is the hotel's signature restaurant, serving such Japanese favorites as sushi and tempora. It seats up to 118 people but is so scattered that it doesn't feel so large. In fact, there is a separate Tempora bar, called Tatsumi, located within Wadakura. Nice Touch: The restaurant offers nine private rooms, serving anywhere from four to 10 people. Note: We were told these are usually the first rooms to be reserved so be sure to book this at least two weeks in advance as well. Also, located within Wasakura is a separately managed sushi bar as well as Go, an area dedicated to teppanyaki.
The Crown restaurant is the hotel's French dining option. This restaurant has a strong art deco feel with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering an incredible view of the city.
Prive is another impressive lounge. It's very similar to the Palace Lounge except its a bit sexier, a bit more modern chic. Like the Palace Lounge, it also offers tea, but with a more French inspiration. The ambience of this lounge is designed to give VIPs a forest-like feel. Its basically a really chill, relaxed environment. Nice Touch: There is also a small outdoor lounge area with black leather seats and couches.
Amber Palace is the hotel's Chinese restaurant. There are a lot of amber hues throughout the restaurants, hence the name.
The Spa
The hotel is home to the Evian Spa, which takes the name of the famous brand of bottled of water. In fact, Evian water is handed to VIPs along with a fresh towel as they workout in the fitness center, which is open 24 hours a day and offers city views from all of its treadmills. The spa is made up of just five treatment rooms and one spa suite. VIPs who pay for a treatment can use all of the spa's facilities. There is a modest fee to use the pool, however, if VIPs don't have a spa treatment. The fitness center is free for everyone. Note: Club Members, those staying on floors 18-23 and also in some select rooms on the 16th and 17th floors, have free access to the pool regardless of whether they have a spa treatment or not.
The hotel is home to a Western-style chapel, which can have up to 12 weddings a day. There is also a Japanese shrine for more traditional weddings, but we were told roughly 80-90 percent of the guests use the Western-style chapel.
Who to Book For
Roughy 60 percent of the VIPs here are business travelers while the remaining 40 percent are leisure travelers. There are roughly 15-20 percent Americans here. We would suggest the hotel for business travelers or couples and families looking for a hotel just 20 minutes away from the famous Ginza shopping district.

Recent Green Mountain Falls reviews
"Not only is this unit in the amazing little town of Green Mountain Falls which is so scenic, it has the Mucky Duck restaurant which has the best food I have had in a couple of years! This is ideally located between Manitou Springs and Woodland Park as well as close to Colorado Springs old town. So much to see and do. This unit was the most beautiful, quaint, well decorated and completely stocked place we have ever stayed. The unit was warm and inviting and relaxing. Everything you could need was there and available. While we didn't get to use the hot tub it was actually a plus for our choosing this home (as well as the enclosed backyard for our two small dogs which even had their own cupboard of supplies available). Our son and family live in Woodland Park and we will always choose this place to stay for as long as we are able to visit."Guest: tessa/daisy Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 27, 2015View listing

Right now it appears three of the Reds minor league teams will make the playoffs. Louisville has all but locked up their division as they currently have a seven game lead over Toledo. Dayton leads the wild card by two games and Billings has already won the first half of their league which guarantees them a spot in the playoffs. Since Chattanooga isn't going to the playoffs we may see guys like Henry and Valaika promoted to Louisville for depth.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Henry, Stubbs and Dorn (1-2-3 in the lineup) are 6-6 with 6 runs scored and 7 RBI.

Following the conclusion of the final double session for the Houston Texans, former Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson appeared on ESPN's First Take via call in from the Texans practice facility. For those able to stomach Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith for a couple minutes were treated to a nice interview where the star receiver addressed his team's expectations, his recent injury history, and his place among the top WRs in the NFL today.
Johnson was first asked about comments made by QB Matt Schaub regarding the Texans "Super Bowl or Bust" mentality for the upcoming season. Johnson stood by Schaub's statement and acknowledged that as the team's leader, the rest of the Texans need to believe in Schaub's words also.
Smith asked Johnson if there was any added pressure on the offense, particularly him, Schaub, and RB Arian Foster, to perform now that the Texans defense, led by Wade Phillips, was such a formidable unit. While Johnson wouldn't admit there was any added pressure, he did acknowledge that the team dynamic is certainly different than in years past. While Johnson didn't come right out and say it, he alluded to the fact that the defense was so far behind the offense for so many years that it's refreshing to finally have a balanced team. Johnson stressed that the offense just needed to keep playing they way they're capable of because the defense is now able to win games for them. Andre stressed, "The sky is the limit for our team."
Johnson touched on the adversities faced by the Texans last season, injuries in particular. This prompted a question from Bayless regarding Johnson's recent history of hamstring and groin pulls. AJ simply responded that if he had an answer, he'd give it, but at the moment he is feeling good and has been practicing for the past week and a half. As is already common knowledge, Johnson will be making his preseason debut this Saturday at home against the San Francisco 49ers.
Next, Johnson was asked where he felt he stood among the game's top wide receivers when 100% healthy. Johnson said he of course felt he was the best as every receiver should, but admitted he is a big fan of the game and enjoyed watching guys like Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Greg Jennings, and Roddy White.
Lastly, Johnson was asked what his personal and team expectations were if he is healthy. Johnson responded by stating the goal was of course to win the AFC and that nothing is given to them. Johnson brushed off the expectations and said that what mattered was that he and the rest of the team needed to go out on Sundays and compete they way they know they can.
As always, Andre Johnson was classy if a bit quiet and reserved as a interviewee. Nothing overly surprising came out during the interview, just a reassurance that AJ is healthy and ready to kick off the 2012 season in pursuit of the Texans' first Super Bowl.

Greg Pateryn and Alex Galchenyuk scored 26 seconds apart early in the first period, and the Montreal Canadiens coasted to a 6-0 NHL preseason rout of the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night. David Desharnais, Michael Bournival, P.K. Subban and Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal (1-1-1) before a less-than sellout crowd. Peter Budaj and Dustin Tokarsky combined for the shutout. Cam Ward went all the way and took the loss for the Hurricanes (0-3-3), who will face the Canadiens again on Saturday in Montreal. The Canadiens scored four goals on 10 shots in the first period. Montreal had a two-man advantage when Subban, who also had two assists, beat Ward from the high slot in the second. Pacioretty converted on a penalty shot after he was tripped by Mike Komisarek 4:22 into the third.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is. -Bob Dylan
I've been in Charlotte for close to 7 years, but am originally from Ohio. I'm very close to my friends and family, back home, and have made some great friends here. My favorite thing, in life, is to spend time with friends and family. I have 3 nieces, and a nephew, who always make me smile. I'm in sales, and I love what I do. I'm super career-oriented, and work really hard. I love good music, movies and books. I also love to write, but, unfortunately, I don't do it enough. I absolutely love to share coffee and great conversation. I also love sports, and work out a lot. I'm constantly laughing and making those around me laugh. I'm a pretty funny guy. I promise to keep you laughing! Or, at least I'll keep me laughing! I guess I'm looking for someone who I can share all kinds of conversation with -- deep, light and funny...It would be great to meet someone who enjoys going to concerts, movies, plays, baseball games, coffee shops and parks. Someone who likes to spend time with family and friends and who likes to volunteer. I'm passionate about, daily, trying to become a better person. And I'm passionate about my relationship with God. Let me know if this interests you!

Some other viewpoint
I love Summit Coffee, Common Market and Amelie's in Charlotte. I love traveling to Chicago to visit family. I'm wanting to take a trip to the west coast soon!
I love good writing; music, TV shows, movies, books, it doesn't matter...I love C.S. Lewis, Tom Waits, 2pac, Morissey, Spike Lee, Tarantino & Dostoevsky...Anything good. I love sports and spending time outside, in the fall - especially in the city
I love music, movies and books. I also love going to coffee shops and letting time just kind of get away... Good conversation is one of my most favorite things.
My very good friend, from College, just wrote a book about electronic pop culture that's really interesting.

ABC Shows 'Traveler' a Little Love
The network will air what it's calling a "sneak preview" of the pilot episode, which follows two friends who are framed for an act of terrorism, on Thursday, May 10, following "Grey's Anatomy." The show will have its regular premiere at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday, May 30, with a second showing of the pilot.
"Traveler" stars Logan Marshall-Green (
Branded as domestic terrorists after security footage catches them in their prank, Tyler and Jay go on the run, simultaneously trying to clear their names and figure out why someone they believed to be a friend would set them up.
The scheduling of the "Traveler" preview and a couple other ABC moves also signals that "Men in Trees," which previously occupied the post-"Grey's" spot on Thursdays, won't be back before the 2006-07 season ends next month. The show has received a pickup for next season, however, so it's likely that the five unaired episodes will carry over to the fall.
ABC is airing a two-hour

Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond
Beyond repair.
Beyond belief.
Beyond reasonable doubt.
Beyond recognition.
Beyond comprehension.
Beyond the fence.
Beyond the horizon.
Beyond the trees.
Faith in the Great Beyond.
Beyond that?
Beyond me.
Downtown Alley
The illumination challenge could have kept me going for the rest of the year. I shoot a lot of photos in the dark with lights! When you look at your body of work ( or parts of it) you notice different things and details on different days.
When I was sifting through files, I found this city alley downtown and just liked the perspective, the people, the shapes and lines. Although it was captured in another season, the thermometer went up to 69 degrees ( I saw it lit up on a sign!) and for the second week of January it feels odd.
I think I need to return downtown and shoot some more alley views.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal
The Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal.
Autumn offers no crocuses or tiny redbud blooms on trees. I thought of library books and contracts, being signed up for a team. Commitment.
Everything is preparing for dormancy, dropping beautiful gold and orange leaves in gutters like crazy. There is a sense of approaching winter, the urge to cocoon, make soup. And then the temperature is in the 60s and predicted 70 for Sunday. One day you are making up your bed with flannel sheets, boiling water for tea, making chili or soup. The next day you are ripping off your sweater and sporting a cotton T. The fluctuations feel strange and off.
As I left school, this is what I saw…
The fresh pine cones dangling for the pine trees branches, bobbing in the wind and the late day sunlight shining right on them said renewal to me.
Everything has been focused on the vibrant palette of the deciduous trees but look at this magnificent coniferous tree!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong
A flag in tatters. Montclair, New Jersey. Corner of Claremont and Valley Road. A revolutionary marker at the site commemorating George Washington's Temporary Headquarters.
Parking on the wrong side of the street, going the opposite direction of traffic. Some neighborhoods ticket for this offense.
No Cardboard (you may have seen this one before)
No Parking in New York City. Just over the line.
Looks like the light is red but perhaps it was flashing
Green Eggs. And other interpretations for this week's photo challenge may be seen here
Weekly Photo Challenge: Purple
What I discovered is I shoot a lot of red.
I blurred my eyes to spot purple in the archives.
Yes, I made the rainbow jello to photograph. It took 5 hours. I got the recipe from my daughter Laura who found it on the web here
The one pictured is not spiked and no one ate it either. It is still in my freezer to slice and photograph with light coming through the jello like stained glass.
Purple views, white balance setting askew but it works for the challenge.
A compendium of purple.

Pay Phone Missing in Short North- Guest Blog
My daughter Laura sent me this photo from her iPhone to my iPhone. She was the one who turned 21 in the Weekly Photo Challenge: fleeting moment post. She'll be 29 in August.
She and her husband James were walking in Short North, going to Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Shop (she had a scoop of grapefruit and a scoop of lemon and blueberries frozen yogurt, cause she told me when I asked.
"James had his usual" Laura said and I knew what it was but had to get the official name of the flavor on Jeni's websiteThe Buckeye State "Our version of Ohio's favorite confection. Rich and salty peanut butter yields to the crunch of exceptional dark chocolate for perfect balance. Total comfort for Buckeyes and Buckeyes at heart."
Anyway, I digress. This is about the pay phone and the missing pay phone.
I remember the days of pay phones and phone booths, a pile of change.
She saw this and I bet she thought, my mom would photograph this! I have photographed and posted a similar scene in Wisconsin in 2009.
It's fun to receive photos from family and friends. Thanks Laura.
For My Son on Father's Day
Last year my Father's Day post was honoring my father and this year I am honoring my son who is a wonderful father (along with Erika their wonderful mom) to the four children pictured- Anna, Michael, Jack (John) and Maura.
Murphy is an important part of clan so while I watched the kids tonight and we were playing in the back yard I tried to get a shot of each of them for the Father's Day post, the 1000th post!

Drug traffickers suffered yet another setback today. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and Puerto Rico Police Department (PRPD) officers stopped "The Islander," a ferry boat carrying vehicles from neighboring island Vieques, for a routine inspection. That inspection led to the seizure of nearly 560 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of nearly $13 million.
"In less than two weeks ICE Homeland Security Investigations and PRPD have seized more than 1,500 kilograms of cocaine destined for Puerto Rico which shows the level of cooperation and commitment of our agencies to the safety of our communities," said Roberto Escobar Vargas, special agent in charge of ICE HSI in Puerto Rico.
In this particular seizure, agents and officers seized 32.9 kilograms of cocaine and a loaded pistol from a Dodge Durango onboard the boat. They immediately arrested two individuals who were with the vehicle. At that point, a white van attempted to avoid inspection by taking off at a high speed. After a hot pursuit, law enforcement officers arrested the drivers of that vehicle and seized an additional 525 kilograms of cocaine.
"ICE will continue using all its resources to identify and arrest those who mistakenly think that Puerto Rico is a safe haven for criminals looking to ship drugs into the United States," Vargas.
This investigation is ongoing. If convicted, the defendants could face life in prison.

Dez Bryant told reporters that his surgically-repaired finger will "never be normal but will never be an issue" according to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News Bryant opted to continue playing last season and to delay having surgery until the end of the season. Apparently Bryant did some permanent damage to his finger but it never showed on the football field. The Cowboys will continue to give Bryant a ton of balls and he should continue to function as a top tier wideout. Last year Bryant caught 92 passes for a career best 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The Sources are five places of great power, and bring balance to the world when they are in the right hands. Ever since the start of the Great War, the Sources have been contested by the Shadow Species, who claimed the Sources for themselves.The momongas are a small and peaceful tribe of flying squirrels, living on a group of small islands on the river Yana. They make their homes in the hollow trunks of giant Sequoia trees, and generally get out of the way of trouble.One day, the village was raided by a group of owl bandits. Their leader, General Kuton, is a renegade general, brilliant in his old days, but torn apart by the loss of his son to the Ravens. The owls took every momonga and disappeared. All except one - the young Momo barely escaped Kuton's claws. He was saved by Panda, one of the nomadic pandas that roam the continents. He healed Momo and took to a sanctuary up in the mountains.
