WASHINGTON - The No. 10/14 Georgetown University men's soccer team shutout the Lehigh University Mountain Hawks (1-10-0), 2-0, Tuesday afternoon at North Kehoe Field. The Hoyas used a solid offensive effort to pick up the victory and improve to 11-2-1 overall.
"Today was a workman-like effort, I thought our upperclassmen really stepped up and led the team today," said Georgetown Head Coach Brian Wiese. "We had been getting hurt on setpieces in the past two games, and Lehigh is good on them but we handled it well."
The Hoyas controlled the first half from start to finish. The squad had eight shots including two on goal as the team fired at will.
In the 12th minute, senior defender Jimmy Nealis (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) sent in a ball from the left side to the right post. Junior forward Steve Neumann (New Hope, Pa./Council Rock North) was waiting and volleyed it in to make it 1-0.
The Hoyas wouldn't stop pressuring, allowing just one shot for the Mountain Hawks in the first half as GU went into the break with a one-goal lead.
Early in the second, the Hoyas struck again with freshman forward Brandon Allen (Old Bridge, N.J./St. Joseph) finding the back of the net for the ninth time this season.
Senior midfielder Ian Christianson (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Christian Life) passed the ball to Allen who had the 1v1 with a defender in the 48th minute and took advantage sliding it past the keeper to make it 2-0.
The Blue & Gray held on and continued to stop every Lehigh advance as the coaching staff cycled through a number of rotations on the pitch.
At the final whistle, the Hoyas had the 2-0 victory finishing off non-conference play with a mark of 9-0-1.
Georgetown outshot Lehigh, 16-4, and took nine corner kicks to the Mountain Hawks two. Sophomore goalkeeper Tomas Gomez (Webster Groves, Mo./Webster Groves) took the win in the net with three saves, while Ciaran Nugent posted four saves.
The Hoyas will be back in action on Saturday against the No. 4/2 Marquette University Golden Eagles marking GU's third top-ten opponent in two weeks time. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at North Kehoe Field. Live stats and a webcast featuring Dan Helfrich will be available at www.GUHoyas.com.

In all honesty, a third-place finish was as high as Dale Earnhardt Jr. could have hoped in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville.
Earnhardt had the best seat in the house for the decisive battle between race winner Kurt Busch and runner-up Jimmie Johnson, but he did not have enough left to mount a change at the end of the race. The key to Earnhardt's success was self-restraint.
"You had to just discipline yourself to not use the throttle," said Earnhardt, who regained the series lead by nine points over second-place Matt Kenseth. "I think we'll have a lot of fun looking at the throttle trace on some of the runs, because I was quarter-throttle at the max.
"I was real patient all day, saving the left rear and just waiting till the end to see where we'd be. Inside 38 laps to go, I thought everybody was going to go like hell, and we all did and ended up running third."
As the laps wound down, Earnhardt's car began to fade.
"I was losing my car pretty fast the last five laps, so I didn't have anything else to get there (to Busch and Johnson)," he said. "I got a couple of lapped guys give the outside instead of the inside. That's their right, but that cost me a little time and maybe some wear on my tires.
"I thought when we passed the 22 (Joey Logano, for third) we might be able to roll up there and get in the middle of the race for the win, but, no, those guys' cars, they were pretty good."

It's not uncommon to have sexual fantasies about fictional characters. A quick scroll through Sex.com's Hentai section is all the proof you need to see that people get turned on by fictional characters.
The trouble is when you confuse your sexual attraction to a character with the real person. For example, I know I'm in love with Audrey Horne from Twin Peaks and all my love for Audrey Horne has got me is a restraining order from Sherilyn Fenn (the actress that played Audrey Horne).
I understand sexually fantasizing about actors because of the characters they play but I can't understand someone having sexual fantasies about Breaking Bad.
Don't get me wrong, Breaking Bad is one of the greatest TV shows of all time, but it's not sexy. Or at least that's how I feel about Breaking Bad.
Last on night Conan, I realized that even though it's a dark character study, Breaking Bad can still inspire sexual fantasies in people when Bryan Cranston read an erotic piece of fan mail. Check out the clip: Continue Reading

You all know that the only thing I like better than a naked woman is a woman wearing a crop-top.
What's the reason for my obsession with crop tops? Underboob is a big reason.
Sadly, now that we're almost through September, all the crop-tops have been packed away until next summer. But it's not all bad. This Fall I've been noticing hot babes returning to their thigh high socks, an everyday article of clothing that's almost as sexy as the crop-top.
You may not think thigh high socks are sexy because they cover up 70 to 90 percent of the leg. Covering up isn't sexy, right? Wrong!
Covering up can be sexy, especially when it's a hot babe covering up her legs in thigh high socks.
I know I sound crazy but maybe the Top 10 Babes in Thigh High Socks will change your mind!
Here now are the Top 10 Babes in Thigh High Socks: Continue Reading
The Emmy's were last night and if you even give a care, you should really do some serious reevaluating of your life. Award shows are the most boring event you could ever broadcast.
However, there is one good thing about award shows. Even Hollywood celebrities aren't always use to wearing elegant evening wear, which means at least one nip slip per red carpet / awards show is almost guaranteed.
The 2013 Emmy's were fortunate to get Tina Fey for their annual nip slip.
Have a look:
As you can see, Tina Fey's nip slip is slight but at least it confirms a theory I've had for many years. The theory that Tina Fey has great boobs.
Turns out she does!
Hopefully next year Tina Fey and Amy Poehler flash the cameras. Now that would be a reason to watch the Emmy's.
Check out Tina Fey's nip slip one more time in GIF form:

Oh Miley…can nothing stop your wrecking ball of nudity?
The picture you see at the top of this post is not a poor Photoshop job by yours truly, that's the alternative album art work for Miley Cyrus's new album BANGERZ.
I don't know how the record industry is doing these days (I assume terribly because who buys music anymore?) but the only way they're going to sell records is by putting Miley Cyrus topless as the album artwork.
People may say that they're getting tired of Miley Cyrus topless, Miley Cyrus nude, Miley Cyrus acting bat-shit crazy, but in reality everyone is constantly trying search for more nude Miley Cyrus.
Sometimes I wonder if her new hyper-sexual persona is just a marketing strategy devised by Miley because no matter what she does she gets herself into the news.
All I know is that when I see this album in stores, I'm not going to buy it but I will stare at it discreetly.
Also checkout Miley Cyrus's camel toe from a recent performance:

If a relationship is like a shark, in the sense that it needs to keep moving forward or else it dies, then a sex life is like a wardrobe.
If you're confused, don't worry about it. The jump from a relationship-shark analogy to a sex life-wardrobe analogy is a big one but just bear with me, it will all make sense in a minute.
A sex life is like a wardrobe because you can wear the same ratty ass clothes everyday for months but eventually, for your own sanity, you're going to have to get some accessories so that you can feel fresh again.
There's nothing wrong with having a routine sex life, but after a while of the same sex positions and locations, it's always a good idea to spice things up by adding accessories to the mix.
That's why I want to tell you about Lelo's Dare Me Pleasure Set. It comes with the everything you need to spice up your sex life. Continue Reading
Did you know that today (September 19th) is Talk Like A Pirate Day?
Y'ar. Talk Like A Pirate Day t'is a fine holiday.
Ok that's enough.
I know I should be talking like a pirate on Talk Like A Pirate Day because that's the whole spirit of the holiday, but it's just too embarrassing.
Luckily, I've come up with another way to celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day that's far less humiliating than actually talking like a pirate for an entire day. I propose that instead of embarrassing ourselves with terrible pirate impressions, we should just look at hot pictures of babes in sexy pirate costumes for Talk Like A Pirate.

Before Holly Randall was the world's best erotic photographer, she wrote a column for Sex.com. Because Holly Randall isn't just a beautiful woman and talented photographer, she's also a great writer!
Holly's been kind enough to dig up some of her old pieces and let us re-share them with the internet.
In this latest piece from the Holly Randall archives, "Porn's Next Top Model", talks about the difficulties of casting new porn models.
It's important to note that Holly no longer works for her mother Suze Randall. Holly has her own website, which you should check out as soon as possible: HollyRandall.com.
I can only imagine how nerve wracking it must be — testing for us as a potential model for adult scenes. Hopefuls park in an alley in front of a fairly indistinct red brick building, with the only sign that it's a studio is exactly that — a sign that reads: "Parking for Randall. All others will be towed at owner's expense." All the other buildings in the alley are body shops and storage buildings — and then, plopped right in the middle, is the place where "the magic happens."
As much as I try not to make the experience like a cattle call, often I'm so busy shuffling parked cars, Xeroxing models' IDs and trying to calm my mother down that I don't have time to be personable and work on making the model feel comfortable.
In fact, I can recall one incident where I truly did feel like I was directing a factory line of models — an agent brought in 10 girls at once on an extremely busy day. Suze was already shooting on set, so I had to herd the girls in, one by one, to the makeup room and stuff them in the corner. Most of the girls — in fact, nine of them — weren't even remotely close to what we were looking for, so I simply shot two Polaroid pictures of each out of politeness. I can't imagine how much film I've wasted because I couldn't bring myself to tell the girls they didn't have a chance in hell of getting booked by us. Continue Reading
Don't you wish you could go to the Playboy Mansion?
I don't. Why would I drive all the way up to Beverly Hills to hang out with Tommy Lee, Bam Margera, Brett Michaels, and some super hot babes? If I were picked up in some sort of Hummer-limousine, then I'd for sure consider it but I'm still waiting on the invite.
Though I've yet to go to the Playboy Mansion, I feel like its best days have passed a long time ago. Before it was a sexy Utopia with cool parties and sexy babes dressed up like sexy bunnies, now I just picture a dirty pool and shag carpeting that's in dire need of shampoo.
I picture Hugh Hefner wandering through a large empty mansion, muttering to himself all long the way. Kind of like the way Orson Welles wandered through the empty halls of Xanadu in Citizen Kane, but a little sexier. You might say that the Playboy Mansion is Xanadu from Citizen Kane, but built on an empire of nude women instead of yellow journalism.
My sad assumptions of the present day's Playboy Mansion aside, if I could travel back in time to the 1980's, the first thing I would do would be to warn the world about Paul Hogan. For sparing the world the horror of Crocodile Dundee, I'd get invited to the wildest and best Playboy Mansion parties of the 1980's.
Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. However, Vice has the next best thing.
The September issue of Vice was put together from the archives of Bob Guccione Sr., the man who built an empire with Penthouse Magazine (which might be going under, by the way).
One portion of the issue features an interview with a former Playboy Mansion butler. He was fired for "an intrusion on his personal life."
So let's find out what went down at the Playboy Mansion in the 1980's: Continue Reading

Calico Rudasil is a feature columnist for Sssh.com, the web's original erotic site for women by women. With over 16 years' experience of writing about and for the adult entertainment industry under her belt, Calico qualifies as something of a Web Porn Dinosaur; similar to a tyrannosaurus, only with far more attractive arms and a less pronounced overbite.
We couldn't be happier to have Calico Rudasil come by the Sex.com Blog and rethink her "Don't Send Dick Pics" Rule.
I know I've climbed atop the virtual soapbox before and implored men everywhere to stop sending out pictures of their genitals, whether to the women in their lives or the general public, but there's nothing like a hilarious photo of a talk show host's horrified face to make one realize that there are no absolutes in life – and that yes, sometimes it is OK to text a picture of your cock to a complete stranger.
Earlier this month, "Today" co-host Hoda Kotb showed herself to be U.S. Congressional material, at least where mastery of technology is concerned, by accidentally displaying her cellphone number on national television while attempting to demonstrate how the new Samsung Smartwatch syncs with her phone. Predictably, Kotb was quickly inundated with calls and texts – including one sent by a man who was kind enough to send Hoda a picture of "his junk." Continue Reading

FriendFinder Networks has filed for has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy today in order to cut its debt load as the company struggles to make loan payments.
FriendFinder, which houses sites like AdultFriendFinder.com, GetItOn.com, XMatch.com, Cams.com, Danni.com, and Penthouse.com and also has reportedly not turned a net profit since 2008, listed out estimated liabilities of $500 million to $1 billion and assets less than $10 million, according to a court filing.
"Despite continuing member interest and high volume traffic, the debtors did not make certain payments to the holders of existing first lien notes and cash pay second lien notes which constituted a default under their respective indentures," FriendFinder said in the filing.
Why should you care about FriendFinder Networks filing for bankruptcy?
Well if they don't start to turn a profit, AdultFriendFinder.com will go out of business and you'll have to download Tinder to find casual sex.
Worse, if they don't start to turn a profit, this could mean the end of Penthouse. FriendFinder Networks operates Penthouse.com and they publish Penthouse Magazine.
Penthouse porn is consistently some of the best porn around. There's a reason why Penthouse porn is such a trusted brand name with consumers.
When you take your daily trip to the corner store to buy candy or cigarettes, I highly recommend that you pick up an issue of Penthouse porn magazine to do your part to help ensure its existence.
To convince you that buying a Penthouse porn magazine is a good idea, here are some of the best porn pictures pinned from the pages of Penthouse featuring some of your favorite pornstars (Malena Morgan, Samantha Saint, Jenna Rose, Sunny Leone, Sasha Grey, Alexis Ford, Devon, Emily Addison, April O'Neil, Ash Hollywood, Whitney Westgate, Nicole Aniston, and many more!):
A new study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly claims that watching porn makes people less likely to support women in the workplace. And when I say "people", I'm including men and women.
Researchers interviewed 190 people over the course of a few years and after controlling for religion and cultural background, they found that watching pornography made people less likely to support affirmative action for women.
But why? Continue Reading

Voters should approve Senate Joint Resolution 8225 so the state of Washington can take part in a federal program that picks up some of the interest payment on state bonds.
Other states can now use the Build America Bonds, under which the federal government pays 35 percent of the interest on taxable state bonds, but Washington can't because its constitution has dollar limits on how much interest can be paid on debt. This, of course, assumes the debt will be paid by state taxpayers.
SJR 8225 changes language in the state constitution to take into account this federal program and allows the state to calculate only the debt that will fall to its taxpayers. This constitutional amendment won't increase public debt nor raises taxes.
SJR 8225 simply allows Washington state citizens to get the same benefit with their federal tax dollars as those in other states. We urge voters to approve SJR 8225.

Color is a powerful signal in video; it can subtly project emotion, mood, time of day, and location. Learn to manipulate these visual elements in a variety of shots, from interior spaces to outside landscapes, with color grading. Filmmaker, colorist, and experienced editor Simon Walker shows how to simulate a light source and different types of light, and choose an evocative color for your footage to tell the story of a particular location. Plus, learn techniques to change the time of day, the type of room, and the overall mood of a location.
Simon works with Adobe Premiere Pro and the Magic Bullet Colorista II and Looks plugins, but these lessons can be applied to any color correction workflow.
It's great to be able to effect and change scenes in post production with color correction adjustments. But it's useful to remember just a few short details about how light works. Light appears at different strengths at different times of the day. And our eyes see different colors under bright and low light conditions. So, replicating real world or natural colors, helps the viewer involve themselves with the story. We can simulate natural light in artificial lighting sources, and we can do this in post production to match scenes together, or make them look as though they were filmed at different times. But we can also stylize and emphasize certain moods and simulate filmic processes.
Which can in turn suggest a change in location, or specially in this case a change in the time of day.

A concussion occurs when the head sustains a hard blow and
the impact jars or shakes the brain inside the skull. The rapid movement
interrupts the brain's normal activities. Although there may be cuts or bruises
on the head or face, there may be no other signs of a brain injury.
After a mild concussion, it is not uncommon to have a mild headache or a
general feeling of not being "quite right." These symptoms usually go away on
their own over a few days. Many people have some symptoms for up to 3 months
after a head injury, and a small number of people have symptoms for as long as
a year afterward.
Sometimes, after a concussion you may feel as if
you are not functioning as well as you did before the injury (postconcussive
syndrome). New symptoms may develop, or you may continue to be bothered by
symptoms from the injury, such as:
It may take several
weeks to many months for these symptoms to go away on their own. But these
symptoms may also be signs of a more serious injury or of slow bleeding between
the brain and the covering of the brain (subdural hematoma).

Aside from their proximity in age, and the fulsome praise they got for their debut novels, Salvador Plascencia and Michael Jaime-Becerra would appear to have little in common as writers.
Plascencia's "The People of Paper," which was published in 2005 by McSweeney's Books, is a fiendishly inventive meta-fiction that has drawn comparisons to the house-of-mirrors stories of John Barth and Italo Calvino, the self-reflexive screenplays of Charlie Kaufman and the gasp-inducing travelogues of the 16th century Spanish explorer Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca.
Jaime-Becerra's recently published "This Time Tomorrow" (Thomas Dunne: 304 pp., $24.99) orbits in a different aesthetic solar system. It's the naturalistic, deeply empathetic tale of a forklift driver, Gilbert Gaeta, and his quest to fulfill his modest vision of the American immigrant dream, with his girlfriend, Joyce, and willful 13-year-old daughter Ana in tow.
Threading his lyrical prose (he started out as a poet and has written a book of short stories, "Every Night Is Ladies' Night") with the hyper-realistic particulars of daily life, Jaime-Becerra elevates his struggling East L.A. Everyman to heroic heights. If John Cheever or William Trevor had spent their early careers living and typing away in a bungalow in the San Gabriel Valley, absorbing its sensations and getting to know its residents, this might be the result.
Yet despite their pronounced stylistic differences, a common landscape links Plascencia, 33, and Jaime-Becerra, 36.
That landscape is El Monte, once a dusty Spanish colonial crossroads and now a bustling bedroom community about a dozen miles east of downtown Los Angeles. It already boasts at least one famous literary stepson, crime-thriller author James Ellroy, who briefly lived there with his mother in the post- World War II era. Cheech Marin also is a former denizen. Yet another onetime resident, Frank Zappa, immortalized El Monte in a song.
But the El Monte that haunts and graces the fiction of Jaime-Becerra and Plascencia, who both grew up there, is no Hollywood film noir backdrop or comic punch line. It's a mutating, multilayered city of 120,000 that in certain moods and times of day can feel like a patch of rural Jalisco or Guerrero grafted onto the L.A. megalopolis.
For both novelists, it's a place with an identity no less incisive than that of trendier SoCal precincts, imbued with what Plascencia calls its own "strange, weird" mythology. How many cities can boast of being the home turf of both an equine '60s TV star and the MGM lion? A city that, as Plascencia writes in "People of Paper," is surrealistically named "for the hills it does not have?"
"Mr. Ed was born in El Monte," says Plascencia, a Guadalajara, Mexico, native who now lives in Highland Park but still regularly visits family and friends in El Monte. "Gay's Lion Farm used to be there. There used to be a dance hall…. So I have those strange sort of connections."
As a writer, he continues, "I always start in some made-up Mexican ranch or in El Monte; that's where my stories always start."
For Jaime-Becerra, an assistant professor of creative writing at UC Riverside, El Monte, despite its sprawling development in recent decades, retains a quiet, pastoral charm that he fondly associates with his childhood.
"The area over where my parents are, where I grew up, there are stables and equestrians and charros that sort of ride by on the horse trail every Sunday afternoon," he says over lunch at a Peck Road taco joint, not far from where he and his wife live. "There's like this Sunday barbecue, like rodeo/banda-norteño extravaganza, that happens off of Durfee, and people come from all over the place."
Jaime-Becerra regards his El Monte upbringing as a boon for a fiction writer and "a badge of honor." And he's glad to have some company in mapping out the local literary terrain.
"That's so exciting to know Sal," he says. "Sal's family lives like five minutes from here. And Sal came when I did my first reading at Skylight [Books in Los Feliz] two weeks ago. And he was, 'Hey, man, how's it going?' and we're talking and he's like, 'I wore this for you,' and it was like this El Monte soccer league championship shirt that he had, and he was very proud of that. And I just love that as writers we're equally invested in place, but we're approaching it from very different angles."
In "The People of Paper," El Monte exists as a tangible physical reality and a metaphysical state. Although grounded in concrete particulars — the smell of flowers, the taste of limed meats, the tattooed initials etched in cholos' necks — it's a locale where the fantastic occurs as a matter of course, as it does in Marc Chagall's Vitebsk or Gabriel García Márquez's Macondo.
Plascencia affirms that García Márquez's novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" played a pivotal role in his own development as a writer, a vocation he began to hone while studying at Whittier College. Later, he earned a master of fine arts from Syracuse University, where his mentors included George Saunders.
In Plascencia's own mock-epic, which he says he intended partly as a parody of traditional immigration narratives, gritty social reality jostles with baroque fabulousness. "People of Paper" charts the odyssey of Federico de la Fe and his daughter, Merced, nonplussed transplants from Las Tortugas, Mexico. In the course of the novel, Federico crosses paths with a local gang, El Monte Flores, and leads the city in a quixotic war against human sadness.
The cast of characters includes lettuce pickers, a Roman Catholic cardinal named Mahony, a frazzled Rita Hayworth and a spooky origami seductress whose male conquests recognize each other by the erotic, stigmatic cuts on their tongues. Presiding over all is the novel's godlike narrator, Saturn, a.k.a. Salvador Plascencia, hovering in the margins of his own book in a maze of weird typographical markings, brooding over a failed love affair of his own.

Hits and Misses: Marlins Pregame Was A Disgrace, Niese Deal Is Not A Wilpon PR Move, It's Opening Day!
Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/5/12
Just a couple of thoughts on that bizarre Marlins pregame ceremony and the reports of a 5-year Niese extension. What a despicable act by the Miami Marlins last night, who decided it would be a brilliant idea to wheel out the ailing boxing icon Muhammad Ali as part of their pre-game ceremonies. Sorry, but that was a terrible call, and to use someone so legendary and obviously so frail as a stage prop was uncalled for. It was emabarrasing to see and all I could feel was outrage for the Marlins and sadness for the one they used to call "The Greatest". Ali was supposed to throw out the first pitch, but couldn't because of the severity of his Parkinson's Disease, and in fact he didn't even utter a word. It was a bad scene. Can you believe that same folks who predicted bankruptcy and scandal for the Wilpon family, are now spinning the recent news about a potential five-year deal for Jon Niese as a Wilpon concocted PR scheme? I'd link you, but I don't want to stir things up. However I'm...

There's a line in Catcher in Rye about how the objects in museums are special because they stay the same, which means you can gauge differences in yourself (the protagonist is a teenager, and thinking about how things change).
I was reminded of this at the Natural History Museum today, when I visited as part of Lost Species Day; a sort of Remembrance Day, but for biodiversity loss.
The NHM's bird gallery is especially evocative when it comes to this question of the world changing around the museum. It has a really interesting sign up saying the collection dates back from the 18th century, and offers an insight not just into the animals of the time, but the way people choose to collect and curate them. It also has signs more explicitly on extinction, noting that since the collection was started, many species have either become endangered or entirely extinction.
And it has the Dodo. Iconic image of extinction (even if there is a lot more to the issue than that one bird). There are two of them. And they sit there. Judging you.
On the subject of the idea of the changing environment happening around museums, it is worth remembering the NHM's "Earth Today and Tomorrow" gallery, just along from the birds display, is sponsored by Rio Tinto. And they recently announced they'd be renaming their main hall – the one with that giant dinosaur in it – after a key funder of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. And they do consultation for the mining and petroleum industry. They work with key contributors to activities which lead to biodiversity loss, whilst they also help us track it.
Many of the scientists at the Natural History Museum would prefer to protect biodiversity, not wreck it. Which is why, as we start to look towards the next general election, support public funding of both science and cultural institutions, so they may remain as free as possible to give us the honest, independent advice on these issues we so badly need.
Because all the birds displayed around the dodo at the Natural History Museum are extinct. And that's sad.

It all depends on the pitcher. I wouldn't do Encarnacion alone for Meche, let alone throw in Kearns and Bailey to add a 2B and a prospect. If it were a name top of the rotation stud like Harden or someone of similar potential, I'd go for it.
What if it's Zito and Meillo plus a PBTNL? Zito's certainly a name starter, but I'm a little gun-shy aroung him.
It would leave you with Freel/Aurilla at 3B, unless there's a late-signing FA out there that I'm not aware of. Maybe the Pirate's would do a Milton-for-Randa deal.

DeAngelo Hall says he'll target Tony Romo, Felix Jones injuriesComment

Don't know if anyone watched this on Friday last week but their timing isn't very scientific. No radar guns. Just either Tiff or Jason clicking on a stop watch IN THE CAR!!! Love the show but that isn't too good for a show that claims to be for the proper motor enthusiast!
Jul 19, 2011 8:01 am
What kind of tests are this? Two different cars driven by different drivers, especially because the Tiff is a better driver. Not really realistic judging.
Jul 19, 2011 5:50 am
One second is not quiet much, I mean for 200KG more on the rips. Interesting would be what happen within the same weightclass?
Jul 19, 2011 1:51 am
Is it my imagination but at frame 0:17, there appears to be no one on the car. It appeared to me that the car was rolling on its own power. Now I'm a BMW Fan but I think it all said and done Id go with the Porsche GT3, that car just sets it self apart from the other porsches where as the BMW just looks alike any other M car apart from a lip and wing
Jul 18, 2011 6:28 pm
It's just entertainment , if it was a serious race and there were two tiff drivers gt3 RS would win by 2 second at least.
Jul 18, 2011 2:53 pm
I'm pretty much sure that Tiff is a faster driver. Plato should have driven the M3. Anyway, wouldn't mind owning any one of the two.
Jul 18, 2011 1:14 pm
GT3 RS would've won anyway. Same power output...but weighs 400 pounds less
Jul 18, 2011 1:09 pm
Lucas, S65 and CTS-V? Cars are in different segments, that would be CTS-V and E63 or CLS63
Jul 18, 2011 1:03 pm
Can't wait for a race between a S65 and a CTS-V
Jul 18, 2011 12:48 pm
I agree with the article - VBH's driving would not be as good....why don't they both time them with both drivers?? 2 drivers in 2 different cars is a bit of a lost cause if you ask me.
Jul 18, 2011 11:35 am
One thing I saw that Tiff didn't wear the seat beat when doing the lap, but both cars are aggressive.
Jul 18, 2011 10:52 am
Curious if the result would be different if they switched drivers. Amazing cars, but the results are as God intended the world to be.
Jul 18, 2011 10:22 am
Porsche looks more aggressive and unique. And BMW looks to simple, little to much like aftermarket tunap. Performance is there for both that's out if the question. Great cars.

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta. The band is composed of guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair. The band went through a few drummer changes between 1995 and 2005, achieving its current form when Adair replaced drummer Ryan Vikedal.
Avenged Sevenfold (sometimes abbreviated as A7X) is an American heavy metal band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band's members are lead vocalist M. Shadows, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Zacky Vengeance, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Synyster Gates, bass guitarist Johnny Christ and drummer Arin Ilejay.
Metallica is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California. The band's fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship placed them as one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer. Metallica was formed in 1981 when James Hetfield responded to an advertisement posted by drummer Lars Ulrich in a local newspaper. The band's current line-up includes founders Hetfield (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Ulrich (drums), longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, and bassist Robert Trujillo. Lead guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton, and Jason Newsted are former members of the band. Metallica collaborated over a long period with producer Bob Rock, who produced all of the band's albums from 1990 to 2003 and served as a temporary bassist between the departure of Newsted and the hiring of Trujillo.
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music.
The Cars are an American rock band that emerged from the new wave scene in the late 1970s. The band originated in Boston, Massachusetts, with lead singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter Ric Ocasek, lead singer and bassist Benjamin Orr, lead guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson. They were signed to Elektra Records by George Daly, then A&R head, in 1977.
Pearl Jam is an American rock band, formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990. Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Stone Gossard (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), Mike McCready (guitar), and Eddie Vedder (vocals). The band's fifth and current drummer is Matt Cameron of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.
Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas. It was formed in 1981 by the Abbott brothers – drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell – along with vocalist Terry Glaze. Bassist Rex Brown joined the band the following year, replacing the original unofficial bass guitarist Tommy Bradford. Having started as a glam metal band, Pantera released four albums during the 1980s. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera replaced Glaze with Phil Anselmo in 1987. With its fifth album, 1990's Cowboys from Hell, Pantera introduced a groove metal sound. The sixth album, 1992's Vulgar Display of Power, exhibited even heavier sound. Far Beyond Driven (1994) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970, originally consisting of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works, incorporating further diverse styles into their music.

Aidan Murphy
(from Wrong Side of Town)
You advise me to let go;
thanks, but no thanks.
Don't get me wrong: I know
the tight holds we keep
on family and friends,
on lovers, dogs and cats,
may bring us nothing more
than grief and wrath.
But when I watched my girl
get sucked back up the waterslide
and disappear, I let her go;
and when I watched my boy
slouch through an ill-lit gauntlet
of barbarians, I let him go;
and when I saw myself
get cynical and hard while plummeting
from parapets of sense, I let me go.
Too much. Too much letting go.
From here I swear
on dead friends' eyes, to grip.
The whole grip.
Nothing but the grip.
(from Wrong Side of Town by Aidan Murphy, April 2015)

Locals in the Berwickshire hamlet of Houndwood were delighted that their historic B-listed church building had been saved and undergone a major refurbishment at huge expense. The developers received detailed planning permission from Scottish Borders Council and three people were to be employed.
But after the work was completed, the project has been mothballed after Dr Fraser Quin said he would enforce the 1902 Cremation Act which states that crematoriums should have the written approval of property owners living within 200 yards. Although there are two buildings between 50-year-old Dr Quin's £350,000 house and the crematorium, he lodged an objection after it was discovered the distance to the incinerator's chimney stack measured 183 yards.
The childcare company director has warned he will call the police if any services are held in Houndwood Crematorium, unless the developers pay up to buy his property.
Heather Argent, who runs The Tea Room next to the crematorium, said: "Due to one objection everything has been put on hold."
Scottish Borders Council gave said the operators have all the necessary consents for the crematorium.

About Me
- Name: Bob Eggleton (Zillabob)
- Location: New England, United States
I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint.

I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

Couple of new small pieces....
Thursday, July 17, 2014
Of Hugos and Chesleys of the past.....
Me in 1998 with my Hugo.
Coming up on 20 years ago, as odd as that seems I won my first of nine Hugo Awards.I won 8 times for Best Professional Artist and once for Best Related Book.I can honestly say I have been moved by winning them over the years, but all artists and writers have their shelf-life with these kinds of things. So I had a string of wins, I'm very proud of that. And with winning them comes the inevitable abuse and backlash. Because this is America and success is often rewarded by attacks from the jealous and hateful, with nasty comments.
The Hugo Award is a FAN award for excellence in science fiction and fantasy. It was created in the early 1950s and named for Hugo Gernsback, awarded at The World Science Fiction Convention(created in 1939) and the first one went to Forrest J Ackerman who would later create Famous Monsters Magazine. Over the years it has deservedly gone to some outstanding professionals and fans, In my own Pro Artist category, it went to Kelly Freas, Rick Sternbach, Jim Burns and of course, Michael Whelan all multiple times for their outstanding art to name a few. In those days, fans saw the the covers to magazines and books and voted "snail mail" ballots. Many of my early wins were from this way, until the millenium when the internet took over, I still won, in fact I was the dominant winner from 1994-2004, a good ten year run I won't complain about. And, I was nominated straight from 1988 to 2012. Not bad for half a lifetime of love of a field and realizing that it's okay to be a fan AND a pro of what you practice.
The Best Related Book is somewhat bittersweet as the win was "challenged" by a close loser in the same category. He threatened legal action against me and demanded a recount. This was in 2001. This heralded a darker time for this award, when it became highly political. Around 2004 or so, a "new element" began to play a factor in these awards. It crept in from the sidelines, like a virus, from the concept of co-opting the award, not for the love of science fiction but for self-important attention-getting: and like a virus, changing the very cells it infected to make itself an entity. The individuals involved in this "coterie" or star chamber of charlatans who decided from not just a writing point of view but an art point of view to manipulate and change the voting process to suit their own needs. What was inappropriate, was that the individuals were professionals. Professionals wanting to "massage" or gerrymander the voting process, of a *fan* award. Administered by fans, voted on by fans. And co-opted by professionals who were the furthest thing from fans with the agenda of creating awards they could win and bask in the light of.
It is one thing to have an agenda which it was. But another to start personal insults with that agenda. One British critic named Adam Roberts, himself a younger man, and with no sense of history, decided that any artist having won the award, since 1966(he was born in 1965) was "unoriginal" and derivative. He personally attacked me, in a blog, not even having known me. Meanwhile the artist "coterie" attempted a coup of the Professional Artist Hugo by attempting to make it so that myself and other past winners could no longer qualify. The sad part is not one of them had any knowledge of the history of the award. They only saw that they "lost" and not much else which is attention-whoring of the highest order. Insults passed on blogs included referring to me "Just because he's a nice guy and has nice hair does not mean he deserves an award". And that comment came from a VERY surprising source, a person I considered a friend and supported his respected "art annual" book. I realized where I stood with this. I was even publicly "called upon" by another winner, to "bow out" of the award as I was seen as old hat, hurting me deeply in what should have been a good time. This is someone I had only ever shown kindness to. In fact one winner, I had even given him names and tips to get cover art work, in the 90s, which he did very successfully, only later to be kicked in the teeth by his backstabbing. I was simply put, bullied by those seeking the perceived financial reward of such attention from such an award. And believe me, it's JUST perception.
As a fan, myself, I warn fellow fans...these people are like, the aliens in INDEPENDENCE DAY(1996) "They jump from world to world, like locusts, taking what they want, and leaving the world dead". Watch them. I warn you, if you are a fan and reading this, their manipulations are a *doomwatch* for the field. They are parasites.
Now, we have Hugos that are openly campaigned for. On the net and social media and such, which was inevitable. The recent series of mix-ups and misunderstandings and outright disasters on the part of the Loncon Hugo Awards-controversies created by "professionals" and their agendas, illustrates what has happened to what used to be a fun award ceremony. They complain about a chosen host of said awards, without knowing facts and proceed then to attack his family. Later, when people are nominated(possibly as backlash) "they" don't like and don't want on the ballot, they complain and whine about the choices MADE BY FANS.
As to me....I've dropped off the ballot by attrition. Inevitable after 24 years(I was 52 when I fell off so that gives you some idea of time spent on said ballot. Apparently I made the record books for nominations for an artist in three categories). And I am quite happy to have done so, and, quite happy for anyone who wins. My wins can never ever be taken from me. I am gladdened by the fact I am in the history books of Science Fiction for my contributions. I still love SF and Fantasy. It is my blood. My attentions are focused elsewhere and I do well with that. I won in years when it counted. Similar to Michael Whelan, Kelly Freas, Ed Emshwiller, Jim Burns and others...we won when the award was a pretty special thing, basically a THANK YOU from the fans.
The Chesleys. Here is an award sponsored by The Association of SF/Fantasy Artists. The Chesleys, which I have 12 of, from 1988 to 2004, have an air of quiet desperation about them. Knowing the personal anguish of a close friend who is involved in the "suggestions" and "nominations", I can tell you, political doesn't even start to describe it. This is another award that has been quietly co-opted by people who seek ANY award they can get. While I have done award worthy work, I have never won many past 2004. In fact I would say the word "snubbed" simply because I am who I am, outspoken and blunt about these things. I even retracted a piece from a nomination only because via sheer ignorance, no one realized it was a re-used piece from years ago and thus did not qualify. Honestly, I did my thing, it is nice to be "outside" all that. I do not endorse or support ASFA, but, I don't begrudge it either. The Chesleys are simply good for those needing a boost, just starting their careers. I look on from outside the glass menagerie.
So here we are at Award Season in SF and Fantasy. I wish anyone nominated the very best. But remember, winning is not everything and when you do win, you will be despised and hated by a vocal minority. Watch them, beware of the collusion of industry professionals, who want to co-opt things for their own gains. I am reminded of President Dwight Eisenhower's farewell speech warning of a "military industrial complex" and look where that led. Watch your backs my fellow winners. The knives are sharpening....enjoy your awards, let NO ONE take that from you.

Yet for all his enthusiasm for the American film industry, he remained forever an expatriate.
Today, we look at print from the refreshed point of view of an expatriate who sees the old country with new eyes.
Alex Aciman on two new memoirs of life in Greece and Italy and the tricks that expatriate life can play.
1768, from French expatrier "banish" (14c.), from ex- "out of" (see ex-) + patrie "native land," from Latin patria "one's native country," from pater (genitive patris) "father" (cf. patriot). Related: Expatriated; expatriating. The noun is from 1818, "one who has been banished;" main modern sense of "one who chooses to live abroad" is 1902.

WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 09: Washington Nationals Third Baseman Ryan Zimmerman makes a few remarks about people afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at a press conference to kick-off 'A Night At The Park' to benefit the ziMS Foundation hosted by Ryan Zimmerman at Nationals Park on August 9, 2010 in Washington, DC.

Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman planned to get a cortisone shot for his right shoulder before Washington's doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Manager Davey Johnson said offseason surgery to clean out Zimmerman's shoulder ''will definitely be seriously considered.'' General manager Mike Rizzo said that if Zimmerman does have an operation, ''He'd certainly be ready for whenever spring training begins.'' Zimmerman also got a cortisone shot in late June, coming off a 5-for-49 slump. He entered Wednesday batting .284 with 22 homers and 84 RBIs. Rizzo said the ''big difference'' between the shots is that now, Zimmerman is ''feeling it a little bit'' in the shoulder, but back in June, the player ''needed the cortisone shot to perform up to his standards.''

Customer Reviews of GreatShield Carrying Case (Folio) for iPad - Black - Leather
iPad portfolio is handy4/20/2012
This case works well. The fit is perfect. The leather is good quality and the stitching looks nice. A couple of minor setbacks: The edge around the face of the ipad does not lay perfectly flat against it. The magnet used to automatically turn of the iPad works only on 1st and 2nd generation iPads. In order to get it to work on a new iPad you must cut the leather open with a razor blade, remove the magnet and flip it over (opposite polarity) and then glue the leather back.

Re: Veepstakes
Gimme a break. Rudy Giuliani has had a hard enough time convincing Republicans that he's a conservative. McCain doesn't need another "maverick" like Giuliani, let alone someone who would, supposedly, pull in northeastern states. He needs someone that can motivate either evangelicals or someone who can reassure the party establishment that he won't go too far left -- I mean, "maverick."
Huckabee might be it for the evangelical ticket, but in terms of calming the worries of the establishment, he's hardly it. McCain would be better off with a popular governor of a southern state.
