Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works as expected.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.20081217.1-signed).
Chris, Thanks for going to the trouble to write your review. If I could ask a favor: I'm trying to get this approved public but that requires two or three somewhat-detailed reviews. One-liners are not sufficient (which is why an editor deleted your previous review). If you don't mind, could you say a little more and then I can renominate for public release.
(I realize this add-on doesn't do much, which is why I liked your previous comment and thought it was perfect.)

NTLM has been deprecated for many uses as it doesn't support the latest standards:
Implementers should be aware that NTLM does not support any recent cryptographic methods, such as AES or SHA-256. It uses cyclic redundancy check (CRC) or message digest algorithms (RFC1321) for integrity, and it uses RC4 for encryption. Deriving a key from a password is as specified in RFC1320 and FIPS46-2. Therefore, applications are generally advised not to use NTLM - MDSN
Despite this NTLM is still used across the web for Integrated Windows Authentication where Kerberos is not available.
NTLM over HTTP handshake is fairly simple:
Request - [unauthenticated - no user info passed]
Response - 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
Request - Authorization: NTLM <base64-encoded type-1-message>
Response - 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM <base64-encoded type-2-message>
Request - Authorization: NTLM <base64-encoded type-3-message>
Server can now check username/password against LDAP from type-3 message
Response - 200 Ok [now authenticated & authorised]

im looking to buy an old imac and need some advise
someone i know is selling an older imac (1999-2001) not sure which year as of yet. are they worth owning still? what would be a good price for one?
No, it's not worth owning.
All depends what you want to do with it. A friend has a 2001 iMac. She uses it for photos and internet mainly, and it's fine for her.
Why would you want a 10+ year old computer?
A colleague of mine is giving away his son's old early 2001 iMac and I'm hoping to give it to my 4-yr old daughter to play with. The main thing I need to get going is a WiFi connection on here since I'm entirely wireless in my house, what are my options?
What OS is it running? USB WiFi dongles that work with OS X are hard to find. Keep that in mind if the iMac is running OS 9.1 or earlier. There was an optional airport card for the 2001 iMac (certain models) if you can find one. I believe the card is only capable of 802.11b which means slower speeds and WEP only.
Maybe some of our older "Mac Machine" guys can chime in here with some better suggestions.
Turns out it's running some ancient version of Mac OS and would end up costing me money to either upgrade the OS, memory and get something to get WiFi going so I'm going to pass on that..

Auto-pilot autos: Cars that drive themselves are advancing
Pennsylvania Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch tells audiences that it's possible that his children, 1-year-old twins, will never have to drive automobiles.
Cars that drive themselves are under development by Google and Stanford University, and PennDOT plans a study with Carnegie Mellon University, another leader in developing so-called "autonomous cars" of the implications of the technology on transportation policy.
Google's self-driving car is a big hit at a transportation conference in Texas, reports Gordon Dickson of the Star-Telegram in Fort Worth. Here's his story from Monday.
In another technological advance, the Pennsylvania Turnpike has announced that free wireless Internet is now available at all service plazas.
"Turnpike service plazas are no longer just a quick stop for gas," said Jack Christensen, turnpike director of facilities and energy management operations, in a news release. "They offer a range of amenities like nationally known and regional food brands, comfortable seating areas, clean restrooms — and now free wireless internet access."
If you haven't driven the pike for a while, you might not know that 12 of 17 plazas have been rebuilt (with two more to be completed this spring) in a $100 million public-private partnership of the turnpike and HMSHost Corp. More information about the service plazas is here.
A $2 million project to upgrade the interchange of Route 22 and Route 980-Potato Garden Road in North Fayettebegan Monday, with closure of the bridge that carries a ramp from Route 980 to eastbound Route 22. The bridge, which passes over the Montour Trail, will be closed through late August, PennDOT said. Access from Old Steubenville Pike to eastbound Route 22 will be maintained. Detours are posted.

What's cooking? Sherine Abdelwahab preparing a "big surprise" for fans
Sherine Abdelwahab's raw talent cannot be denied, neither can her occasional overconfidence though!
The Egyptian singer told fans that she's preparing for a big 'surprise' in early 2014. We for one were super excited to hear about it.
Turns out, she's preparing for a new album! Not much of a surprise then, Sherine. Last we heard, that's what all singers do!
Her album will feature 11 songs and will be produced by "Nujoom Records." Maybe that's the surprise, then?
According to Laha Magazine, Sherine has 'unsurprisingly' cooperated with a number of renowned poets and composers to ensure the album a hit.
Some of those include Hassan Al Shafei, Ayman Bahjat Qamar, Amir Tu'aymah, Mohammad Yahia, Mustafa Awad, Khaled Izz, Tuma and Ahmad Ibrahim.
It's said that the album is expected to witness significant success in terms of record sales, therefore reviving the record industry in Egypt.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin officially signed a bill into law aimed at helping children do better in the classroom. The Feed to Achieve Act provides free breakfast and lunch to all students around the state.
Tomblin put his signature on the bill in Martinsburg at Berkeley Heights Elementary School.
Tracy Heck is the Director of Childhood Nutrition and Wellness for the Berkeley County School System. She says some students will rely on the program, others not so much, but everyone is included.
"You have a wide range of students in every county. On the continuum, some parents really need some help, all the way up to parents whose kids are fed their Wheaties [at home] every day," says Heck.
Berkeley County already has a pilot project in place that feeds all children at 6 elementary schools. The Feed to Achieve Act will bring in every school in the state, from pre-K to high school.
With all students across the state getting the free meals, there will no longer be the stigma on children who desperately need the free food but are ashamed to take it because they feel they'll be singled out.
Heck says those schools participating in the pilot program are already seeing positive changes.
"We see increased participation. We are seeing better attendance. To me that's the better payoff," stresses Heck.
The state Department of Education has had several free lunch programs in place in counties around the state. Heck says the proof isn't in the pudding but rather the classroom.
"There are less tardies, less disciplinary issues and the academics go up," according to Heck. "Kids are able to pay more attention."
Feed to Achieve is a public/private partnership, where the community gets involved in financing those free meals through local donations and making the most out of federal funding.

Are There Greenfield Deployments of Virtual and Cloud Environments?
• • 1 Comment
Let me start out by saying that I see more discussions about greenfield deployments of products than I do of migration/integration by vendors. Personally, I think there is no such thing as a greenfield deployment unless the organization is just starting out, creating a brand new data center, or perhaps has money to waste. In…
There are different public cloud use cases. Here at The Virtualization Practice we moved our datacenter from the north to the south part of the country and utilized the cloud to host the workloads during the transition. Edward Haletky, yesterday posted about Evaluating the Cloud: Keeping your Cloud Presence and presented the question and his thoughts of is it worth staying in the cloud or bringing the data home.
Reports on IE6's death are often greatly exaggerated. IE6 is still there alive and well in a large swathe of enterprise desktops. This puts a risk on projects that look to move an organisation beyond Windows XP. Browsium's Ion addresses the fear uncertainty and doubt many had with Unibrows. Browsium Ion gives corporate users what will likely be a vital option not just for compatibility for IE6, but to allow for changing configurations and managing web based application access to suit the business, not the application vendor.
The "cloud" has become quite the buzz word and in all appearances truly loved by the marketing side of the fence also. "Take it to the cloud." That is one of my favorite lines from a Microsoft commercial campaign that I think really shows how mainstream the cloud has become. Facebook, iTunes, Twitter, Oxygen, Amazon and Acronis are all examples of different cloud services that I connect to on a regular basis. Services for the end users are becoming more and more abundant, which is absolutely fantastic for us, the consumer.
I have had the opportunity to perform a few VMware Capacity Planner assessments over the years and I have been, more the most part, pretty happy with the process and the results of the reports. The assessment is really pretty straight forward. We had physical servers to the project, making sure we have proper permissions to perform all the tasks and then let the process run over an extended period of time. For the most part, this way of sampling over an extended time frame will give you a very good idea what can be virtualized and the number of hosts that will be needed.

The rhythm of life on Earth includes several strong themes contributed by Kingdom Fungi. So why are fungi ignored when theorists ponder the origin of life? Casting aside common theories that life originated in an oceanic primeval soup, in a deep, hot place, or even a warm little pond, this is a mycological perspective on the emergence of life on Earth. The author traces the crucial role played by the first biofilms - products of aerosols, storms, volcanic plumes and rainout from a turbulent atmosphere - which formed in volcanic caves 4 billion years ago. Moore describes how these biofilms contributed to the formation of the first prokaryotic cells, and later, unicellular stem eukaryotes, highlighting the role of the fungal grade of organisation in the evolution of higher organisms. Based on the latest research, this is a unique account of the origin of life and its evolutionary diversity to the present day.

Sunday Homes: 04.09.06
Imagine hosting a party for about 100 people in your new home and you haven't spent one night in it.
That's what happened to Shawn and Gary Groesbeck, who unveiled their home at an engagement party for friends.
"We made plans last May to have the party in January," Shawn said. "The last worker walked out at 3 p.m. and we had the party that night. We hadn't slept in the house yet. That was our first night."
Shawn, an assistant manager at Padre Staples Mall, and Gary, a retailer, are used to pressure and getting things done on schedule. The couple had a goal and time was essential. So they sought a builder, a designer and a house designer who understood their mission to create more than 7,000 square feet of bliss.
"We're having a housewarming party soon for about 300 to 400 people," Shawn said. "And for the subcontractors too because they're so much a part of the house."
Picture perfect
The Groesbeck's home on Bar Le Doc Drive West is their second home building experience in Kings Crossing, but their first in The Domain community. They doubled the size of their previous home, investing serious time and effort in the design details and the décor.
"We met once a week for about a year and when it was over I kind of had withdrawals," Shawn said.
Everyone in the building process experienced some sadness when the four-bedroom six-bathroom home was complete, but they'll have a lifetime of pride for building a family's dream home.
Shawn said it took six to nine months for James Mazoch to design the home they wanted. It took another year for builder Terrell Pruett to construct it. The couple hired Debra R. Jamison an allied member of the American School of Interior Design, who works at Buddy Walker Home Furnishings. Jamison worked with the family to coordinate new furniture, wall colors, floors and tile, fabrics, countertops and other design details.
Shawn kept a nifty accordion file categorized by rooms filled with magazine photos of what she liked, providing Terrell and Jamison with copies.
Some key features Shawn wanted in their home was openness, a walk-in closet, study rooms for their two kids, fireplaces in the master suite and bathroom, an arts/crafts room, personal office space and a great backyard. The couple got it all, and then some.
Family room affair
In the foyer, faux finish walls in tan and gold hues age space, while a shapely wrought iron banister curves to the second floor.
Arched doorways accent entry points to rooms and high gloss faux wood floors in a rich cherry maple finish gleams downstairs and upstairs.
"The predominant color is blond in the house," Jamison said. "And we went with warm colors for the rest of the house."
Past the formal dining room is the family room and kitchen where the Groesbecks and their children Madison,11 and Jonathan, 14, spend most of their time. It's Gary and Shawn's favorite space.
"The kids migrate to it. Maybe the house is too big and they like to be with us," Gary said, laughing.
A distressed caramel leather sofa with gold tapestry accent chairs provides comfy spots in front of a custom-built maple wall unit. All the woodwork in the home is maple, according to Jamison.
Overlooking the living space is the kitchen with tan tumbled stone and brick, which was Terrell's idea to bring the home's brick exterior inside the home.
Behind the family room is a card room complete with a full wet bar and burgundy walls where Gary entertains his card-playing buddies.
Tuscan dream
The family room and master suite offer access to about 3,500 square foot patio complete with a swimming pool, kitchen, arbor and fireplace designed by Hector J. Villarreal, owner of Southern Landscapes.
"They wanted a Tuscan feeling of the house to reflect in the garden," Villarreal said. "But something livable too."
Bottlebrush, boxwoods, impatiens, roses and Italian cypress finish the garden scene.
A doorway from the patio is the master suite and a luxurious bath with iridescent glass mosaic, stone and glass block layers textures.
The pièce de résistance is Shawn's cavernous closet inspired by a wood mirror jewelry case from Buddy Walker Home Furnishings.
Crown molding, built-in shoe shelves from floor to ceiling and a built-in bench makes Shawn's closet a personal dressing room retreat.
Kids' design
Upstairs is the kids' rooms, a playroom, a billiard room and a guest bedroom. Shawn wanted her children to have a say in their room's décor to make it their own, so Madison and Jonathan met with Jamison to select furniture and talk colors.
A denim bedspread and tan leather recliners define Jonathan's subdued space, while Madison's bedroom glows with cantaloupe-colored walls and orange and pink polka dot bedding.
The Groesbecks have settled into their new home after four months, but the dream continues for Shawn.
"I wake up and pinch myself every day and think 'oh my gosh' I live here?" she said.

iPhone 3G Testing Episode 2: Revenge of the Swedes
When the Swedish engineers over at Bluetest revealed that, when measured at their facilities, the iPhone 3G radio performed roughly the same as 3G handsets made by Sony Ericsson and Nokia, some (including a few of TiPb's own, very astute, commenters!) cried foul. Not ones to be dissuaded by a little doubt, however, the Swedes brought in some of the people who complained about 3G reception problems, and put their iPhones to the test.
The results? According to Apple Insider, pretty much the same as before:
Wieselgren reported that the lab found that all these iPhones to "have no problems with the 3G communication in the test chamber. They send and receive signals in a fully normal manner. They do not disconnect earlier than the others we have tested when the signal becomes weaker." The iPhone using updated 2.0.2 software reported slightly better numbers, but Bluetest indicated there was no statistical significance, as a difference of up to 1dB in the results "can occur due to measurement uncertainty and random fluctuations."
Does this mean all the problems we keep having and hearing about are the exclusive fault of the carriers and their networks?
Well, no. We go back to our original theory that it's a confluence of conditions at work (which is why Apple says they can address some of the problems via another firmware update). Even if the antenna is fine, combine some dodgy networks with software that may be a little too sensitive to fluctuation, or too conservative in its reporting, and there are all many of problems that can arise.
2.1 may fix things on Apple's end, while public outcry (especially in France, where Orange has just been caught... er... red handed throttling down 3G traffic) could speed up the notoriously slow and stingy carriers to invest in their networks, and our future.
Make any sense? (Provided you can connect to the network long enough to read it...)

iPhone 3G Testing Episode 2: Revenge of the Swedes
BUT DID THEY TRY SWITCHING FROM 3G to 2G AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS? Probably not or you would have mentioned it in one of your pro-Apple/anti-AT&T "news" stories. Other AT&T phones make this transition nicely. Not the iPhone which is where the dropped calls come from.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not a fan of AT&T... Verizon was much better reception-wise (and even/especially with customer service) but I hold that this is a iPhone problem as the crappy 3G Samsungs I have on AT&T don't have this problem... nor do my other friends 3G phones. Also, you would see an outcry on howard forums and elsewhere of others who have 3G problems with other AT&T phones. This is not happening to the extent it is happening with iPhones (have you seen other forums out there??? The complaints of 3G drops are endless... especially at Apple's site).
The PR spin Apple has sent out has worked apparently... and due to articles like these the problem will never be fixed as Apple "doesn't have a fix since it is AT&T's problem."
Dude, did you read the very next post which provided, I think, a very reasonable explanation about what might be going on?
Believe us, we hate on everybody here, not just AT&T.
But don't let hating on us not hating spoil your fun :)

coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
and find them quite a bit more finicky when it comes to tuning than the emps. Way more overtones and I'm no slouch when it comes to tuning. On the other hand I can tune the clear emps so they have almost no overtones in minutes.
Also the 16" G2 for my floor tom was flawed from the day I bought it - horrible rumbling
sound - I can even out all the lugs and still have a very slack point inbetween two lugs.
Not the case with other heads so I know it is not a bearing edge issue. AS it is, I have to tune one side of the head much higher than the other side to get rid of the rumble -or- tune my floor tom much higher than normal approaching the range of my 13....
I know some of you are coated g2 fans but my experiance so far hasn't been all too great with them.
Is it just me or is it weird that clear two ply emps have less overtones than coated g2's??
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
I'm slowly moving to coated G2's from coated emperors for toms. I resisted for a while, just because I like Remo as a brand, but I just find the G2's to be easier to tune, better overtone control, and more durable than Emperors. I also switched to a Power Center Reverse dot from an Emperor for my snare.
It started after I switched to an EMAD bass drum head, and bought a floor tom and snare that came with Evans heads and they sounded great. I'm a convert.
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
Maybe you got a bad batch? For me, emperor's and G2's are one and the same. I do like the coating of the Evans heads, though, seems more durable.
But right now I'm using those vintage emperor's and those are sounding really good right now. I'll probably go back to Evans on the next set in a week or so.
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
I think I just got bad 16" - I went home at lunch today and finished fine tuning and the 12" and 13" sound really nice, warm and focused.
My floor tom rattles and buzz's no matter what I do short of bop tuning.
I can't decide what tone I like better betweeen g2's and clear emp but
they are both nice tones. I think getting a dud 16" had me unhappy
being I paid $22 for it at the local shop....
@Bo Eder
tell me more about those vintage emperors...
do you like the evans better or are you just wanting something different?
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
I don't change out heads this quickly because I want something different, I tend to play them out pretty quickly, so I'm changing heads about once a month or so. Since Ambassadors and Emperor's and G1's, and G2's are all about the same price, I'll go with whichever one they have all of my sizes in stock at the time. I used to use Ambassadors for everything. But like I said, I like the coating on the Evans much better, it doesn't wear off as quickly as it does on the Remos. The change is sound is negligible with these head types.
If I really wanted to change things up, I'd go with black dots or something that really mucks up the sound....
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
I recently re-skinned my entire kit with G2 coated heads. They sound great Infact it's the best my kit has sounded in a long time. This is the first time I have used coated heads in quite sometime. I'm glad I switched I am very happy with the G2's.

Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
I've found that Evans heads have a more durable coating. Never seems to come off, and I hit pretty hard. Can't say the same for the Remo coating, in my experience. I haven't used clear Emperors.
On a snare drum, I tend to go with Evans no matter what. Remo heads tend to "pull out" on me. Again, I'm pretty heavy with the left hand.
Re: coated Evans G2 vs. clear emperor's
Both the Emperor and G2 heads (clear or coated) are 2-plies of 7mil each. The Vintage Emperor is 2-plies of 7.5mil each, and only available in coated.
You wouldn't think such a small difference would be noticable, but it is. To my ear the Vintage Emperors are very slightly darker sounding, or have a bit less ringiness, which amounts to the same thing.
My kid recently played a backline kit with Vintage Emps on it and they sounded great. Very Bonham-y on a high-end Gretsch kit.
I generally find both Remo and Evans to be equivalent quality. I do find G2s and regular Emperors to sound different even though they are of the same design. (I find Ambassadors and G1s to sound different as well.) The coatings are different, and I believe the films are different, too.
Sounds like you just got a bad G2.

Publication: A new magazine dedicated to celebrating our four-legged friends
Cats have something of a monopoly (a meow-opoly? No…) when it comes to the online realm and last year they muscled their way into print as well with the publication of the inaugural Cat People magazine. Everyone knows that dogs tend to follow cats so it's no great surprise that not to be outdone by their feline counterparts, our canine chums now boast their own magazine as well.
Popular online site Four & Sons has moved into print (following last year's experiment with a newspaper and the first issue includes contributions from the likes of Mike Mills, Martin Usborne, Dave Eggers, Nathaniel Russell and Will Robson-Scott among others and creative director Marta Roca describes the new titles as "the publication where dogs and culture collide."
She goes on: "Chronicling the work of interesting people and their interesting dogs, Four&Sons is a bi-annual trip through the worlds of art, photography, music, literature—even maths—as inspired by man's best friend.
"Reflecting the ideas, projects and interests of our human readers we're definitely not a pet magazine. Instead, Four&Sons delves into creative lives lived alongside dogs."
It's the same approach used to such impressive effect by titles like The Gourmand (exploring interesting people and stories via food) and later issues of Huck (via surfing and skateboarding) and Four & Sons looks like it could be similarly engaging. If I had a tail, it would so be wagging right now…

Moms on Drugs: The Prescription Pill Epidemic
Dan Saelinger
It started out innocently enough. Julie Hartman, an administrative assistant and mother of three kids, ages 10, 7, and 2 at the time, hurt her back while lifting a TV. "I was in chronic pain and couldn't sleep for a month," says Hartman, of St. Paul. When an MRI detected mild arthritis, her internist prescribed the painkiller Vicodin and told her to take the pills as needed.
At first, Hartman did need them. But her back improved with visits to a chiropractor -- yet month after month she kept taking the pills. "I was in love with how confident and in control they made me feel," she explains. Whenever her prescription ran out, she'd simply go back to her doctor, lying to him about her pain and using her kids as an excuse to get a refill. "I told him I'm a mother and need to be able to function," she says.
As Hartman's dependence on the drugs grew over the next year, she started doing things she never thought she'd do: finding other doctors and lying to them to get additional prescriptions, and stealing Vicodin right out of the medicine cabinet of friends and relatives. "I was always afraid I would run out," she says, "so I manipulated people to get what I needed." For three years, she took more and more pills but couldn't admit to herself that she was addicted. "I kept telling myself, 'You're okay; you're not that bad,'" she says. "I didn't want to believe it. But my addiction began to take over my life."
Her denial came to an abrupt halt on August 31, 2009, when she walked downstairs on a Monday morning to a roomful of people who, along with a counselor trained in addiction interventions, confronted her about her drug use. Her husband was there, along with her sister, her pastor, and friends from her church. "My husband cried for 15 minutes straight, and I'd never seen him cry before," Hartman says. He told her he'd caught her in too many lies, she'd missed too many of their children's events, he no longer trusted her, and she was tearing their family apart. He threatened to take their kids away from her if she didn't get help. He admitted that he was afraid that he'd find her dead. Her pastor spoke up and said that he didn't want to give the sermon at her funeral.
But the smallest voice was the one she heard most clearly. Through tears, her then 11-year-old daughter begged her mother to get better. "Please, Mommy, go get help," she said. "I don't care if you miss my first day of middle school. Just go."'

Gabi feels the 26-year-old is the best striker in the world.
"He is the best No.9 in the world and everybody wants to sign him," Gabi told AS.
"He's very high on confidence at the moment and always works hard. He has found his best style of play. Moving around and inside the area rather than dropping deep to collect the ball. His aerial power is brutal. He is the best header in the world, well ahead of everybody else.
"I spend a lot of time with him as he's my room-mate. He has a lot of ambition and he knows that he can achieve things here. He's happy to stay at Atletico and I can really see him staying put."
Falcao has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent months.
The striker's current contract with Atletico Madrid is set to expire in the summer of 2016.

The MCM expo is bi-annual event held at the Excel arena in London. It is billed as an event for Movie, Comic and Anime fans but it should probably add cosplayers to that list too, given how a good half of the the people there were dressed up for the occasion.
It had a rather interesting atmosphere to it, not being too focused on one aspect or another and having that rather British feeling of being "cobbled" together and trying to fill as much of the exhibition hall with as many things as they could find. I'm sure that certainly wasn't the case and the organizers spent many months trying to get as many people to exhibit and appear there as possible, but that wonderfully British feeling was still there. And I liked it.
The day itself was a bit of a blur and while at the time I wasn't keen on staying there too long, I would go back there without too much hesitation. Probably not as a cosplayer though. Certainly whets my appetite for going to something like E3 in the States but not any time soon.
I would just like to say a big thanks to Tim Maughan over at his eponymous site for getting me in on a press pass. Didn't perhaps get me anywhere "behind the scenes", mainly cause there weren't any, but it meant that I had a hassle free time getting in. Which given how many people were there and the line for the queue to get in, is definitely a good thing. I'm pretty sure a few of the pics in this set will appear over on his site in due course. And rightly so.

On November 13, 2009, Loyola Law School Dean Victor Gold announced the appointment of Dana Warren as the first Patrick J. McDonough Director of the Business Law Practicum. Professor Warren will be responsible for administering the transactional lawyering program and expanding it to offer additional capstone courses addressing alternative subject matter useful to students interested in a transactional law practice. The Patrick J. McDonough Directorship is a result of the generosity of Howrey LLP in memory of Patrick McDonough, who passed away in March, 2009. Mr. McDonough was a Loyola Law School graduate who was part of Howrey's insurance recovery practice group. During an outstanding legal career, which included acting as general counsel to the international insurance and consulting firm Johnson & Higgins and participating in the founding of the Institute for Corporate Counsel, Mr. McDonough was well known for mentoring young attorneys and helping them to advance their careers. "It is fitting that the directorship be named for Mr. McDonough, who is remembered as someone who always strove to help the people he worked with to develop into better lawyers," said Director Warren soon after his appointment.
In addition, the McDonough family has created the Patrick J. McDonough Endowed Scholarship to further honor Mr. McDonough. The purpose of the McDonough Scholarship is to reward and encourage students interested in business law. Efforts like this to help strengthen the quality of, and access to, the Loyola Law School experience during difficult economic times demonstrate the vitality and loyalty of the Loyola community and are much appreciated by the administration, faculty, staff and students of Loyola Law School. Information about support of the Patrick J. McDonough Endowed Scholarship can be found at [link - - http://alumni.lls.edu/giving/mcdonough.html.]
Business Law Practicum Director Dana Warren and Faculty Co-Director Therese Maynard have written a casebook based on their course materials, entitled Business Planning I: Financing the Start-Up Business and Venture Capital Financing, which is available from Aspen Publishers.
Professor Maynard recently completed the second edition of her text, Mergers and Acquisitions: Cases, Materials and Problems, also published by Aspen and now available.
Director Dana Warren participated on a mentoring panel for a student business plan competition at the University of California, Santa Barbara on April 30, 2010. The New Venture Competition is part of the Technology Management Program at UCSB's School of Engineering. Professor Warren, who has been a regular participant in the program over the last six years, and the other panelists assist the student teams with their oral presentations of their business plans.
Professor Maynard made a number of presentations during the Spring 2010 semester on teaching transactional law.
- On March 31, 2010, she gave a presentation as part of the Faculty Workshop series at the University of New Mexico School of Law entitled: "Transactional Lawyers vs. Trial Lawyers: The Fundamental Weakness of the Carnegie Foundation Report."
- On March 23, 2010, she gave a presentation as part of the Faculty Workshop series at the University of La Verne School of Law entitled "Educating Transactional Lawyers: A Response to the Carnegie Foundation Report."
- On March 4, 2010, she made a presentation at the Transactional Skills Conference hosted by Drexel University School of Law in Philadelphia on March 3-5, 2010. Her topic was "Teaching Transactional Lawyers: The Loyola Method."
As Chair of the AALS Section on Securities Regulation, Professor Maynard organized the panel presentation for that Section's meeting at the AALS 2010 Annual Meeting in New Orleans on January 9, 2010. She moderated the Section's program, entitled "Responding to the Financial Crisis: Change is in the Air."
In December 2009, Professor Maynard was elected to membership in the American Law Institute.
On November 7-8, 2009, at the invitation of Professor Charles O'Kelley, Professor Maynard participated in a two-day symposium held at the University of Seattle as part of the dedication of the new Adolf A. Berle Center on Corporations, Law and Society.
During June, 2009, Professor Maynard spoke at two sessions of the Mid-Year Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools to be held in Long Beach, California.
- On June 8, as part of the "Conference on Business Associations," she was on a panel addressing "Transaction Approaches to Business Associations Pedagogy." The discussion focused on the content and pedagogical approaches to this basic course. Panel members were selected through a competitive review process
- On June 10, as part of the "Workshop on Transactional Law," Professor Maynard was on a panel addressing case methods in transactional scholarship. She is a leader in this area, using the case method to follow the life cycle of transactions in both her Mergers and Acquisitions case book and in the development of the Business Planning I course. The conference focused on allowing educators to exchange ideas and insights on how transactional law pedagogy can best address the relationship between the intellectual richness of transactional law and fundamental practice skills, and how transactional scholarship differs from traditional legal scholarship.
Business Law Practicum Director Dana Warren and Faculty Co-Director Therese Maynard attended "Teaching Drafting and Transactional Skills: The Basics and Beyond," a national conference on teaching transactional law and practice held at the end of May, 2008, at Emory Law School in Atlanta. Professor Maynard appeared on a panel addressing "Teaching Transactional Skills through Simulations in Upper-level Courses" and discussed key elements of the Business Law Practicum's capstone course, Business Planning I: Financing the Start-Up Business and Venture Capital Financing.
In pursuing what he refers to as field research on current trends in financing the early stage company and venture capital financing, Professor Warren continues his law practice on a limited basis. Representative transactions during the last academic year include:
- Representation of venture capital investors in a second round financing of a medical diagnostic equipment company. The company was represented by Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosoti;
- Representation of institutional investors in a later round financing of a game technology company. The company was represented by Summit Law Group;
- Representation of institutional investors in a second round financing for a web-based specialty products and information business. The company was represented by WilmerHale;
- Representation of a green energy company in a third round financing transaction; and;
- Representation of a logistics software company in the sale of an enterprise license to a national freight and delivery company.

I don't mind the difference, though if I'm allowed to reroll the ones I'm not likely to pass that up either.
reroll 1s: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
I figure a big power difference can be more of a difficulty for you as GM to keep it challenging without totally overwhelming lower powered folks. Of course with your GMing style I doubt you'll have any problems.
No relevance at the moment, but want to, but want to bring it up before we run into any traps. Billy has the trap spotter talent and gets an immediate perception check any time he comes within 10 feet of a trap. Dong, you're more than welcome to make these checks in secret on his behalf, current perception check +12.
Also he has no animal handling skill, any interactions with his horse are purely fluff and shouldn't have any actual effect on anything.
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 = 15
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14
I'm still interested, I've just been busy for the past couple weeks, and haven't found time to catch up on things. I need to get back into the habit of checking posts and posting more often, I kind of fell out of it when we had that long lull. I need to figure out what's going on here, it sounds like Ralph left the ship at some point.
Leoian comes over to the others discussing what they are going to do, having finished tending to the little girl's wounds. He looks to Bryn and frowns a bit "If Finwa is too tired to walk on her own, she is certainly too tired to attempt to invade this slaver camp. Perhaps you could..." He was about to suggest Bryn carry the young girl instead but thinking of how the man has indicated intention for mating with nearly all the females they have met along the way, and that he seems to especially prefer much smaller women, the halfling decides it might not be the best idea to trust the young defenseless orc girl to him. "Err never mind, I suppose I could carry the girl if she is comfortable with that. At least until I'm needed to scout ahead."
He thinks about this situations and wonders aloud "What if this is some kind of trap?" He blinks and looks towards Romycas "Err.. not to say you are not trustworthy sir, but we don't know anything about you other than you were created for destruction and repair... there is a lot of risk in what we're considering."
Leo moves along with the girl and kneels down to examine her wound using some water to clean it somewhat. The halfling stares at the girl's leg not moving, and not responding to Finwa for a time. Finally he nods "Good,there doesn't appear to be any poison, Tagacs must not be venomous." He looks towards Finwa now responding to her offer to make plants "Thank you Finwa, I believe I know what I need. The half sized man begins describing the plants he wants to treat the girl, some that will numb pain,some that have antiseptic, and antibiotic properties "If anyone has anything I can use as bandages that would be quite helpful as well."
Turning back to the small half-orc girl Leo smiles reassuringly at her "Don't worry, the bite looks worse than it really is. We'll have you fixed up in no time. You might not want to walk on it for a while though. What's your name? I'm Leoian, but most people just call me Leo."
Leo furrowed his brow confused by this constructs actions he seems especially concerned about the girl insisting she is the priority, but wouldn't give her to the halfling so he could tend to her wounds. "Mister... it is very difficult to help the girl if you won't let go of her. I can check her wounds, bandage them, and use some plants to help her get better, but not while you're holding her. I need you to let me take her, don't worry I will be gentle."
"Hey don't swipe at Finwa. Shoo you little beast." Leo makes a shooing motion at the creature that attacked Finwa. He makes sure the small feline woman isn't injured then looks towards Mittens "Well we just ate Meowsie, we don't want to overindulge... but when we do eat them that one's first."
He raises an eyebrow a bit at Bryn's creepy smile, it's probably directed more towards Finwa than himself, which was possibly even worse Leo would make sure to keep an even closer eye on him.
At Finwa's gasp he turns to see who she's referring to and shakes his head "I don't know." the halfing moves away from Finwa, and towards the newcomers "Hello, I am Leoian... that poor girl looks like some animal got at her. Let me clean and bandage her we'll want to stop the bleeding quickly." He holds his small arms out as if expecting this patchwork man to pass the girl to him.
"If you're weary sit for a while, we have a little food left, and there are lots of Bunkies around we can catch and roast if you need more." He apparently came up with his own name for the rabbit eared creatures.
Leo looks towards the creature reaching for his hair, and leans away so that it can't reach. "Strange, they're not shy at all, generally animals in the forest avoid travelers as much as possible."
He shakes his head at the discussion "I've never seen them before, I couldn't say what they are, but they don't seem to be like Datarila she's not an animal or a pet, she thinks and acts like we do... what's that called Mittens? Err, Bryn you should be careful, though these things seem tame I doubt they are pets, you could lose that finger."
"As for eating, I'm not sure, they seems somewhat similar to rabbits, so maybe they would make a good stew. There seem to be plenty of them though, we could easily try a couple of different methods."
Leo smiles towards Finwa when she sits near him, and gobbles down her food. "Good isn't it?" He looks over at Bryn when the man walks off towards the sleeping area Finwa made for them "I guess he's right, we should get out early, and you must still be tired from all that work making spots for us to sleep."
The little halfling offers his hand to Finwa when she's finished her seconds. "If you're ready."
He looks to Charlene "Don't worry about things, you should sleep well Ms. Oftenseen, nice fresh air out here, trees all around, it's great." He smiles towards the manager, and waves to the others "Goodnight!"
I don't think this one was unbalanced at all, there were some factors outside of the game that conspired to bring down the mafia. Such as lag making Tina's vote late and an ooc role giveaway most prominently, those unfortunately made it rather clear who was mafia. We still had a chance, but mistakes were made, it's not a balance issue. As Clarence pointed out it is quite well balanced; although the townfolk do seem like they might have some sort of Paizo god on their side.
I thought it was kind of funny that other than Hamish, our mafia characters were really just trying to do what was best for the town, they maybe broke the law sometimes, but it was to keep the town from going under and helping people out. Now this town's destroyed, and first thing Thadius wants to do is move to Sinclair for a new mafia hunt and start the whole thing over. Bringing down one town wasn't enough for him?
Leoian blinks a bit when Bryn talks about laser eyes "Oh, I didn't know you had laser eyes... I guess that might work, I've never used them before."
He watches as Finwa creates a large area with shelters for all of them. He sighs softly and squeezes the small woman's hand "You should be careful Finwa, you wear yourself out... your houses are real nice, but you should save some of your strength, a simple small shelter for all of us would probably have been fine."
The halfling looks confused again peering up towards the man twice his size "Weirding? You always say such strange things Bryn." He gets one of the pillows for Finwa "You should rest, we'll get some food going, and I'll come check on you soon."
"Bryn wait, don't use that for the fire, use these." Leo gets some brush "This stuff will burn real hot, but with a lot less smoke, smoke will be a dead give away that we're here."
In response to Charlene asking for people to go foraging the short woodsman nods "I can find lots of food no problem... my arms are small though, maybe someone can come along to help me carry?"
Leoian looks around to the others "Can most people not see in the dark?" the little man asked as if he'd expected everyone to be able to see clearly in the dark. "Ummm Bryn, how are we supposed to heat rocks without any fire?"
"I guess we should wait until it's light out if people can't see..." He looks confused towards Bryn again the man was often very confusing "What's diurnal?... anyway yes we should go find Mittens' balloon and she can continue with her plan."
"So... he's not a pixie?" Leo asks with a slight bit of confusion not really knowing what the deal was with this safari character.
Mitten's talk about how the multiverse is like a loaf of bread makes about as much sense to Leo as trying to read War and Peace in an alien language. Finwa seems somewhat worried though, as she clutches his arm, the little halfling rubs her arm reassuringly. "Don't worry Finwa Mittens'll solve it." Whatever it is that's going on.
When Varga makes finger pistols Leoians eyes widen and he tackles Finwa out of the way covering her body with his to keep her safe from whatever might shoot out of his fingers.
Leoian mostly walks along with Finwa keeping hold of her hand when he's able, but often scurries off to investigate something, or search for pixies. When he's questioned about the Gomoktooths he shakes his head "No, Huuagh didn't have any wings." He says as if people would know who he's talking about, and that it is in fact relevant to Gomoktooths.
At the appearance of Vargas Leo's eyes widen and he comes over to investigate "Wow, are you a pixie? You're looking for Meowsie? Are you going to be her little companion like Datarila is for Ms. Mayor?" He looks confused for a moment, "But you weren't at the Deathmatch I don't remember you... I was there, I got..."
Stopping in mid sentence the small man looks back towards Finwa with her ears drooped and decides going on about how he was shot in the face might not be the best idea. He comes over and takes the feline woman's hand squeezing it lightly "Well all that's done, we're here together now... what's a safari?"
Leoian nods as Finwa assures him they'll be out of the town soon "Yes, I'll be fine, this is just the first night I've spent completely out of the woods... it's strange."
The little halfling smiles at the others and offers his idea of what they should get Hugh as they come out into the street "He won't have anyone around the house when we leave and he might get lonely. We should find him a nice little companion like Datarila."
Leoian had gone to bed early though he tried to stay up to help with the dishes, the town seems to just drain his energy right out.
In the morning the night in the town appears to have had the opposite effect on him as it has on Bryn, despite having had extra sleep he still looks tired. The little halfling nods at Bryn's words "Yes... this place is terrifying."
Realising what he said could be taken the wrong way by their host he turns to the man and waves his hand to dismiss any such thoughts "Not your home Mr. Hugh, it is very nice, and we are most grateful for your sharing it with us... I just do not do well without the trees around me, and the comforting sounds of nature."
Leoian watches the man fall to the ground near him then finds himself being pulled away by Finwa and rushed over to a big tree. The little cat-lady seemed especially protective of him recently, that wasn't really a bad thing it showed how much she cared he just hoped she didn't think he couldn't handle himself. The halfling also happened to notice that Bryn, although the man had actually been directly attacked, was not scurried over to the safety of the conifer. It may be a small one, but Leo felt that was a victory on his part.
The small mans miles as Finwa lays her head against his shoulder "Yes, towns aren't good for people, it's much easier in the woods." He looks back towards the others "Looks like things have settled... but that man broke his table, it takes a long time to carve a new table."
Leoian eeps softly and cringes as Finwa pulls him out of the way and a the people start brawling. This one precisely why he didn't want to get involved, and would have much preferred to just move on through "This is why I don't like towns people are forced into crowds and the closer vicinity makes them agitated, then they start doing stupid things."
The halfling man moving carefully away from Finwa comes over and lightly tugs on Charlene's pant leg "Can we just leave? I don't like killing people, and it's the crowds that make these men stupid, it's not really their fault. This place is starting to spook me too..."
Leoian looks quite pained as they stop just short of getting off the streets in this horrible place. He wrinkles his nose towards the bar and looks very uncomfortable about all the yelling. When Bryn goes over there the little halfling grumbles to himself "What is that man doing now..."
When Finwa goes over to the owner of the bar as well Leo feels his stomach turn in knots 'It's not our business just leave them alone so we can get out of here.' They need to settle this quickly so they can get off the streets. Leo moves up just close enough so he can reach Finwa tugging on her hand lightly and leaning in towards her, practically hiding behind her as he says quietly "Can't you just make him a new instrument with your power, then we can get out of here. It smells bad, and there's way too many people."
Leoian returns Finwa's smile "It is kinda hard to say, but I don't know any of your fancy science words."
He looks up at Bryn and furrows his brow as the man says something about oxen, and seeding requests then proceeds to formally kiss Finwa's hand "Y'know I think you're right Bryn is acting pretty strange." Then again a lot of the things Bryn did or said seemed strange to Leo. Maybe he blew a processor trying to flirt with all the women they've met since coming to town. The halfling was pretty sure a horse doctor could fix a simple blown processor.
With a light squeeze of Finwa's hand he turns his shining eyes towards her "Did you meet Ms. Mayor's little companion Datarila? I wonder where you would find a little friend like that. I'm going to talk with her when we come back." He, for some reason, seems confident that he'll be able to converse with the little pixie despite having been told she can only talk to the mayor.
Leo smiles happily towards Finwa at her kiss, not so happy in the market was definitely an understatement. He watches the little lady as she moves over to clean Turble's face at least somewhat, and wonders about the gnoll. "Sounds like you don't like town very much either Mr. Turble, how did you end up here?"
The little halfling grins up at Bryn when Finwa and Charlene talk of taking him to a horse doctor. "Don't worry Bryn, horse doctors are really good, and don't let the name fool you, they're not just for horses. One helped with our dog when I was little, and momma even got one to fix my arm when I fell out of a tree one time, I'm sure they can help with your air-headedness too."
Leoian blinks a bit as the smiling little pixie suddenly vanishes, he looks back towards the others spotting the man holding a trident Datarila must have run off when he came in.
"Bryn's sick?" He looks up at the man curiously "Being sick isn't good... momma would fix you up right away, but I guess we'll have to go see this doctor person instead." He lightly squeezes finwa's hand "Thanks... not going into the crowds would be good... they're scary."
He looks to the mayor and waves "Goodbye miss Mayor, we'll come see you again soon."
Leoian looks to Charlene and frowns a bit "But you're essential too Ms. Oftenseen, I'm sure you play a big part in Meowsie's plan, we just don't know what it is yet."
He smiles towards Finwa when she looks his way, he seems much more comfortable now that they're out of the crowded streets. It's not really clear if he understands the whole Verpien thing or not "I could show Mr. Turble how to do some hunting and fishing, then when he's hungry he can catch something for himself and won't have to eat leather... that sounds yucky."
Leo is still apparently quite interested in the little pixie, and continues asking her questions despite having been told she can't talk to him. "How do you chose a companion? It must be hard only being able to talk to one person... I wonder why that is, is it because of magic? My momma told me that I'm resistant to magic." He grins towards Datarila "Oh if that's why maybe then I'll be able to hear you!"
Hearing talk of Mittens running out of power and being lobotomised gets his attention and the halfling looks back towards the mayor. "It's pretty important Ms. Mayor, I don't want Meowsie to be lobomised." whatever that means "And she can't charge her energy up by sleeping like I do. If you can show us where it is, I'm sure we can get it."
Leoian grins towards the small winged woman then makes a face that's almost like a pout. "Oh, that's too bad, I bet you have all kinds of interesting stories Datarila. I don't meet that many folks smaller than me y'know. You're so cute, why did you hide when we came in? I wonder what it's like from your perspective to live in this big place."
He opens his mouth as if he has a million more questions to ask the mayor's companion, but closes it again with a bit of a chuckle when the mayor mentions him knowing when to wait for answers "Ahh yeah I've been told I'm too curious for my own good, there's just so many things I don't know about, I'm not used to big cities." Let alone a big city in an entirely new world.
Leo ponders the meaning of verpien "So you're trying to find a mate for Ms. Oftenseen? She's really a nice lady, she gave me a hug once, and comforted me when I was sad."
From the mayor's description of the Gomoktooth Leo's imagination started running, he couldn't help picture Alexander letting out a great Hauughhh and flexing his muscles which were nearly bursting out of of a shirt that read "I'mma Gomoktooth" The book seemed to describe him perfectly, well save maybe the wolf part he did have a rather bushy beard though. "I think I might have met one of them. Do they throw cows?"
"Oh Mr. Turble, you're hungry aren't you? I think I still have some fish left it's a little old, but was smoked really well, it should still be good." Leoian searches through his bag for a moment before coming up with a small fish fillet which he offers to the gnoll. "Umm I guess this is all I have left, I must have given the rest to Meowsie, I'll have to catch more for you later."
Noting the mayor's hesitation Leo says "You didn't need to make her come out if she's shy... I was just curious." Despite saying she didn't need to reveal herself Leo seems quite interested in the small woman.
He turns his gaze towards Datarila with a bit of a guilty look "Sorry Datarila, I didn't mean to give you away... I just wanted to meet you. I've never met anyone like you before. You can only talk to Ms. Mayor? Or are you just shy around others?" He asks the small being curiously.
The halfling shakes his head when the mayor talks of being rude "No no, it's ok, I guess you're a very busy lady, and I can ask too many questions... Besides getting Meowsie's balloon is most important. If you have time later I would like to talk with you though." Looking to the gnoll and then back to the Mayor he asks "What's a verpien? And a Gomoktooth? I don't know those words." He also wonders if all halfings are woods people, but doesn't want to start asking too many questions again.
Leoian had been over by the balcony where the mayor was when the group first arrived, he seemed to have been looking for something, but when he hears someone talking about him he comes back, not having been able to find whatever it was he was after.
He looks at the mayor curiously when she asks about his relationship with Finwa. "My woman?" he asks as if he doesn't understand the term "No, Finwa is my girlfriend, I will always stay with her. And Mittens is very important to me, I'll keep her safe as long as possible." He looks to Charlene and Bryn "Of course the others are important too Ms. oftenseen is really smart, and she doesn't show it as easily, but she has a really big heart. Bryn is my rival, but I still care about him."
He looks towards the balcony again then to the mayor "What happened to your little friend mayor?" He looks towards the gnoll "Hello, I'm Leo... You have no home? Why not stay in the woods? There're some really nice trees to make your home in, and lots of game for hunting."
Leoian blinks towards the mayor as she gives him a strange confused, or possibly surprised look. He's about to ask if he said something strange, but the woman has already moved on so he just frowns at being ignored. Bryn at least got somewhat of a smile, and a hint of that look that every woman seemed to give Bryn, what was so alluring about him anyway?
The little halfling is not very good in the bussiness meeting environment. With the Mayor paying most of her attention to Charlene, he finds his curiosity wandering, and he starts looking for an opportunity to slip off and explore, maybe find the Mayor's little friend that he saw earlier. When the mayor moves the meeting to a sitting area Leo appears to be missing if anyone notices.
Leoian being the first one into the room blinks a bit towards the Mayor, maybe she's not quite what he expected "Oh ummm hiya, sorry I hope we're not interrupting."
Interrupting or not there isn't any helping it now so he decides he'll just proceed and meet the mayor. He comes over and offers his little hand "I'm Leoian, you have a really big house, it's really nice, but would be too big for me. You have a kind face, I think I'll like you. Do you live here with the lady in the front? she was nice too. I'd like to have a home for me sometime, and Finwa too of course, but maybe a little ways away... there's so many people here. They don't scare you?" He seems to be doing much better now that he's away from the crowd.
Leo quickly hurries inside to get away from the crowd, he is interested and often quite likes individual people, but is just totally overwhelmed by a crowd. With some space to breath he starts to calm down somewhat, this large building still feels unnatural to him, but at least it's less crowded.
Looking towards Charlene "You're talking about trading with the mayor for the balloon? That might be good... but I have no idea what they might want, or what's of value here. Back home I could trade pelts and herbs for bits of coin and paper," He furrows his brow "which I didn't think was very useful, but other people didn't want my pelts they would only trade for coins or paper. The people here seem to want to trade coins as well, but I don't know how many coins they'll give for a deer pelt here, it's probably not the same as back home."
He considers what the tall woman said about a reason for the Mayor to turn over the balloon. "Well... wouldn't getting rid of such-and-such a menace be a good reason for him or her to turn it over? I'll gladly get rid of whatever the mayor wants if it keeps me away from all those people."
Leo looks really uncomfortable in this huge crowd, and much more so when the two merchants start a yelling match. He tries to be patient when Finwa talks about some flute thing and something called a music video.
Bryn starts talking about writing a song and Leo meekly pipes up "Can it wait for later? I really need to get out of here... I hope we can get Meowsie's balloon soon..." He sounds like he just wants to hide away from all this.
Leoian looks somewhat confused "Job?" He doesn't have time to find out what she means as he sees Finwa is starting off without him "Ack, don't leave me." he hops down and hurries after the small woman with a waves towards the lady in the booth "Bye lady, I'll talk to you later"
He gets bumped and jostled trying to make his way over to Finwa, talking to the map lady was fun, but going through the crowded market sure isn't. "Erk... ouch" He managed to catch up to her "I don't like it here... There's no room to move and I feel like I'm going to be squished." he moves over to take Finwa's hand "I don't want to lose you in this mess." He shakes his head about selling "I don't have anything to trade either, and I'm not very useful to town people... maybe I can sell myself too?"
Leoian blinks a bit and looks up towards Bryn "Map Mistress?" That seems a strange thing to call someone. He hops up grabbing hold of the edge of the booth counter and scrambles slightly as he lifts himself up high enough to look over it at the lady with warm and curious brown eyes. "What's a mistress? And what's your name? you've been really nice, do you want to come with us to find Meowsie's balloon?"
He furrows his little brow a bit as if trying to work through something "Hope we didn't trouble you... I don't know what Bryn was trying to say, he talks kinda funny sometimes saying things like fizzy soul vent. But it would be really fun to have you with us."
Leoian smiles and moves to lift Finwa so she can see into the booth leaning his head against her as he holds her up. When he sees all the people in the market his eyes widen as he starts to realize how big the town is "Wow... this place is huge" it doesn't sound like that's a good thing in Leo's opinion. "I hope we can find Meowsie's balloon."
When he lets Finwa down he takes her hand and squeezes it lightly looking apprehensively about the crowd not knowing which way to go. "Does your map show the way to the mayor?"

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at All American Heroes
All-AmericanHeroes features amateur straight guys out of uniform. These straight men are REAL current or former cops, marines, firemen, lifeguards, military police.
Army hottie Marco and USMC Lance Corporal Scott are teaching each other some military maneuvers. They do some pushups and other physical training exercises before they sit down to chat on the edge of the bed. They start watching porn together and talking about the next thing that pops up. Marco is super horny so he whips out his thick brown uncut cock. Scott can't keep his eyes off Marco's cock and he leans over and starts sucking on it greedily. When Marco's dick gets nice and wet he's ready for some anal penetration. Scott happily lays back on the bed with his boots and cammies still on, lifting his legs for the fucking he's about to get. Marco slides up in between his legs and shoves his cock in the ginger hair lined hole. Scott moans quietly as his ass gets pounded relentlessly, wincing each time the uncircumcised cock exits his sphincter. Once he's gotten used to the large latino cock in his ass, Scott spins around to offer his round Marine Corps butt to Marco. The soldier obliges

Hangover Helper: Vegan Frito Pie
One of the biggest problems I've discovered since going vegan is that when I gave up meat and cheese, I didn't simultaneously cocktails. How is this a problem? Well, if you follow my weekend recipes, you'd know that fatty meat and cheese are sort of staples in my regular hangover regimen (exhibits A and B). So what's a cocktail-loving vegan to do? How about go back to the roots and hit up one of the grandaddy's of hangover helpers: The Frito Pie. More

Hours after Brett Ratner resigned his post as producer of the Academy Awards in the aftermath of his quote that "rehearsing is for f—s," his buddy Russell Simmons stopped by Big Morning Buzz Live. After chatting about his book, Super Rich, and the passing of Heavy D, the hip-hop mogul came to the defense of the Tower Heist director, though not to the defense of his words.

"I understand how hurtful his words were, and I know Brett's unfiltered and says sometimes horrible things," Simmons began, insisting that Ratner didn't mean his remark as a homophobic slur. "He didn't mean gay people. I think that's pretty clear. I'm sorry he said it and I'm sorry he lost his job. I think the punishment was a bit cruel."

At present, there are over 1 million entries from en.wikipedia.org alone. In addition to searching via location, users can also search via the venue and spot IDs of the two most popular geo-location networks; Foursquare and Gowalla as well as by Yahoo! WOEID. The API uses RESTful protocol and responses are formatted in XML, JSON, or JSONP.
