Chicago Fire
Because we love quoting what Landon Donovan says about current members of the Fire, we couldn't help ourselves when we saw his quote about his former coach with both San Jose and LA, Frank Yallop in Sunday's feature in the Chicago Tribune.
"Frank is the epitome of a players coach," Donovan said. "Every player who ever has played for him absolutely loved their time with him and would run through a wall for him. … He treats his players with respect and inspires hard work and success through calm leadership."
Landon's quote goes along with everything I've heard about the Fire's new head coach and Director of Soccer from former players and while Yallop admits he has a lot of work to do this offseason, you can't help but be excited about the first time he actually gets to coach the Fire in 2014.
Just 11 more Saturdays until the start of preseason and 15 until March...
Check out the full feature from Jack McCarthy here [+].
In this business when you swear you won't use your laptop for a day, often times you miss something. Such was the case for yours truly Friday as I took a much-needed day off following 10 months of non-stop career work...
So the story goes, I missed what seems to be a pretty clear, if not indirect endorsement of Mike Magee for MVP from a former teammate and probably the greatest American soccer player of all-time, Landon Donovan.
It came in an article from Scott French on MLSsoccer.com where the veteran So-Cal writer spoke with Robbie Rogers about the trade that saw his rights traded to LA in exchange for Magee to come to Chicago.
While the article centered mainly on Rogers adjustment to LA, Donovan, who is teammates with another potential MLS MVP candidate in Robbie Keane, had this to say of his Magee's exploits this season in Chicago:
"Would we like Mike Magee here? Yes," he said. "I think any team wants the MVP of the league on their team, so, yeah, we would like Mike here. But the reality is Mike's not here, and we're all happy for Mike, and there's no guarantee those things [Magee achieved in Chicago] would have happened had Mike stayed here."
If you know Magee, he'd traded the chance to still be playing for any individual accolade but it does seem we should add Landon to the list of MLSsoccer.com editors, Washington Post reporter Steven Goff and Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney on #MikeMageeMVP endorsements.
There's a decent chance if you were coming to Toyota Park from the south, west or even sometimes the north prior to 2011, you played a game called 71st Street Train Roulette.
You know what I'm talking about. 71st Street would provide great access to Toyota Park if only one of those long freight trains wasn't crawling through at the time. If you got past the train tracks, it was a cool final breeze to the stadium.
If you got stopped by the train (especially close to kickoff) it was gut wrenching to have to sit and watch as it slowly passed by or even stop on the tracks as the game began in earnest inside Toyota Park.
At the end of 2011 access to the stadium from north-bound 71st Street was shutdown in order to build an underpass that would eliminate the need for 71st Street Train Roulette. Of course this didn't make things easier for those coming from any of the above mentioned directions as you simply couldn't gain access to the stadium.
It was a two-year headache that made entering and exiting from Toyota Park difficult.
All for the greater good though as the project was completed this past week and a ceremony held Saturday morning featuring Illinois Governor Pat Quinn to open the 71st Street Bridge.
It's been a long wait and we're glad it's over…
On the match:
Yeah I mean I just think that we had some chances in the first half and I think if we could have got the second goal I think that could have changed things a little bit and then I think when we started the second half we had some bad turnovers in bad spots. I feel we had the ball and we turned it over and when they get the ball in good spots they have quality players that are going to hurt you. In the first half we had our chances to score another goal and the second half was just the key I think, in possession when we had it I think we just turned it over in bad spots and then once they went two, three up, we knew the score, we knew the results of the other game and we had to push the game. From then on, for me, it really didn't matter; we just kept on pushing to try to come back [and at least tie the match to get into the playoffs].
On the season:
Right now it's a lot of emotions. I'm proud of the guys just the way the second half of the season [went] and we were probably the best team in the league in the second half of the season. Through adversity you learn and you become better but I think the group fought all the way to the end, it's just unfortunate that early on [in the season] if you get one more win it's a different thing. I take my hat off to the guys because they competed. I know it's disappointing right now for sure, but you have to learn from every situation and move on.
On Mike Magee:
For me he's the MVP. Another very good performance, scored another very good goal tonight and look at the impact he's had on our team. He's a fantastic player and we're happy to have him starting next year from the beginning [of the season].
On the match:
I wish I knew [what went wrong in the match]. First and foremost I think New York was great. I think anytime you got Tim Cahill and [Thierry] Henry on your team and those guys are in the form that they were in tonight they're going to be hard to beat. I definitely think we might have lain down a little bit.
On reflecting on his season:
This is going to hurt for a while. It's cool to score goals and all but you play the game to lift the trophy and to kind of come that close after so much work just to get ourselves back in a spot to have a chance at making the playoffs – to be honest, it's heartbreaking.
On Thierry Henry:
He's the best. He's probably the best player in the league and one of the classiest guys I've met. I got a chance to hang with him a little bit in Kansas City this year and I have nothing but respect for him. I just told him I wish him luck and that's all.

With three wins on the bounce, the Fire are on the brink of a playoff spot with only one game to go. The Men in Red could be in before the start of play on Sunday but the earliest they'll know is a little over an hour from kickoff of their match vs. New York Red Bulls (LIVE 3:30pm CT on My50/Time Warner Sports WI; 4pm on UniMas).
Still, there is plenty to play for, including a possible third place finish thus avoiding the play-in game. For New York no incentive is bigger than knowing a win against the Fire will guarantee the team's first ever trophy. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Patrick Nyarko and Jalil Anibaba vs New York's left back – taking advantage of a Red Bulls weak spot
Left back has been a problem position for the Red Bulls this season and with the two natural left backs nursing injuries, the Red Bulls may have to resort to playing right-back Brandon Barklage out of position as cover. Red Bulls coach Mike Petke admitted that he is wary of Patrick Nyarko and hinted that it could be Barklage that gets the start due to his strong 1v1 defending.
WATCH: Segares, Nyarko preview NYRB
With that in mind, I feel the Fire coaching staff will be encouraging Nyarko to get the ball and take the left back on as much as possible. Left midfielder Johnny Steele is not the best at tracking back and helping in the defensive third and this could also allow Jalil Anibaba to get forward and support Nyarko on the Fire's right.
Anibaba's crossing ability has improved dramatically this year and regardless of who New York starts on the left, I expect the majority of the Fire's attacks to come down that side.
Logan Pause vs Alex – who will partner Rios in the middle?
The toughest decision for the Fire's coaching staff this week is who will replace the suspended Jeff Larentowicz in the center of the midfield alongside Arevalo Rios. One of Logan Pause, Alex or Daniel Paladini will be half of the tandem that will have to compete against one of the strongest midfield pairings in MLS: Dax McCarty and Tim Cahill.
On the one hand, the Fire know that the Red Bulls will be playing for the win and the Supporters Shield crown that comes with the points. On the other, the Fire will also be going for the win, knowing what they will have to do to finish in either fifth, fourth or even third.
With this in mind, Alex would be a more logical pick to start alongside Rios due to his attacking creativity and willingness to get forward and support the strikers. To those who argue that starting Alex over Logan would mean the team loses some defensive clout, coach Frank Klopas would argue that Alex's defensive play has been excellent this season.
Tactically, I think starting Logan Pause would be the wiser choice, especially when you take into account the fluidity of the New York attack. The center midfielders and strikers for the Red Bulls are never static, with players like Henry often drifting wide and Cahill moving forward to play as the target striker.
With Pause alongside Rios, the Fire would form a very solid block of four, similar to the formation that the Republic of Ireland played under Giovanni Trapattoni. This formation would make the Fire very difficult to break down but would put a lot more emphasis on the wide players to create. This coaching decision has the potential to have huge impact on the match.
Shutting down Fabian Espindola – a player easily lost in the shadows of Henry and Cahill
In the Red Bulls last home match against New England, Mike Petke started with Henry and Fabian Espindola up front and in the first half in particular, Espindola was unstoppable. The New England defense could not keep up with the Argentine striker, who dropped deep and wide in search of the ball, dragging defenders out of position along the way.
Espindola is a player that any coach would love to have due to his tireless work rate. He also hounds opposition defenders when they are in possession, always looking to force a turnover or mistake and does not give up possession easily.
His low center of gravity can be very difficult for defenders to contain and he will certainly pose a challenge for the Fire's backline on Sunday afternoon. The Fire defenders must not allow Espindola to get behind the backline.
Individually the defenders must not allow him to drag them out of position and create space for players like Cahill and McCarty to move into.
Prediction: With both teams knowing a win would be massively rewarding, I expect an end to end thriller, especially if there is an early goal. 2-2 with goals from Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko.

Comments about DW Performance Series TomPack 4:
Major Quality at a reasonable price. Even the heads are of good quality . The shells are very responsive and yeap... they are maple and rock Hard Maple at that .
Your buying a shell. Not a solid guitar, not a foot pedal nor a DVD player.
There are so many "Drum Companies" that to find a quality product is in itself a task for anyone . Looking at the boxes they are shipped in or inside the shell and many say "Made in China".
Now , I'm not against the Free Trade that's going on between US and China but just look at the difference in build. That should say it all .
Pros and kids alike would stay with DW and especially the kids would continue with drumming as opposed to "I like it now", and a year later they want to try another set. The point I'm trying to make is that for drums get something of quality , they might stay with it for life .
These are an excellent set of drums and at a fair price . I give it a five star rating . What's better a shiny stone or a real diamond ?

I think both sites lose that "spirit" in some of their sets and or there is a lack of enthusiasm. The bottom line is it both sites are soft. For me, FemJoy is a site I would check in with every two years but I am a photo buff but came away somewhat underwhelmed by the lates experience. It's a very streamlined site that would work better at 14.95 or so IMO. They don't offer the "Live" girls or search features that it's comp does. Of the three art nude photo type sites, it is clearly at the bottom of the list. There was a 99 bucks offer for year when canceled which is to me a waste of money. Like I said, I treurned after two years and found only a moderate amount of savable new material. If you are looking for explitiness, this site will disappoint and bore you quickly.

Thanks for your input.

(at the time of review).
- Overall solid photography and production values and a clean but simple layout.
- Attractive, youthful, slender models, mostly euro with some porn star cross overs.
- Good download speeds, with a nice variance of photo file sizes.
- Apps are offered for IPhone and Android.
- All material is exclusive.
- Large Model Data base.
- The search engine for models consists of A to Z or models name making it time consuming to searh the site in an efficient way.
-Some of their better models are shot in a very softcore way. Little use of lingere and too many straight birthday suits in some sets.
- Mild decline in the quality of recent models.
- Watch for upsell when joining, CCBill was slow to respond to issues.
Bottom Line:
is an art nude site which caters to those who like young, generally pretty and natural women. It is softcore, so no insertions other than an occasional finger tip nor toy play and all of the material is exclusive. The current price for the site is 19.95 recurring which is a bargain if this type of site interests you and especially if you've never been a member.
You have several photo formats which is nice and all pictures within the last four years are high resolution. The zip files offered are small, standard (my preference) and large and the download speeds were above average for me.
I personally ran into to no download limits but I do not have a mass downloader. Still, I was able to pop out up to 20 plus gallery downloads per session with no trouble.
uses what I call mildly deceptive advertising where they want you to see the more and not the less. They claim up to 3 updates daily and up to 2 new videos per week. Well, I saw that happen just once in both categories.
has a wide selection of models, up to 750. There has been a ton of brunettes and not enough blonde's in recent months and in my humble opinion, they haven't had those knock out main stay models since the last time I joined.
To clarify, I waited a solid two plus years between memberships and it took that long for me to justify joining again from simply following their updates and models.
The videos offer what is more or less a flash player and formats for windows are 640 x 360 or 1280 x 720. The smaller files were adequate for my tastes. They offer the same exact sizes for Quicktime and have an Ipod feature as well and even a small playstation portable. Also added are apps for Android and my preferred IPhone. but I found neither compelling enough to use or go through the mild learning curve associated.
The quality of the videos are good with nice production values but they are softcore for sure and some seem repetitive, especially if shot by the same person. The photo's are sharp and clear with not too much fodder in the sets, but like the videos and one of my main gripes, look the same when certain photo artists are used.
Some of the artists just have the same old style over and over and the same backdrops as well which gets boring quick to a true photo enthusiast. But quality is there which brings me to my main gripe and one that frustrated me greatly and dropped my rating several points.
The search features are deplorable for such a quality site. Forget typing in blond or red hair and blue eyes and such for it isn't there. And when you go to the models section your eyes will cross trying to pick out models that float your boat.
It is very clunky and difficult to pick through for the photos are not always reflective of the models you will see upon clicking on them. It took me the entire allotted membership time to dig out the models and zip files and vids I wanted to keep and this is just unacceptable for a site that should have a search feature that matches the overall quality of their productions.
You can search models A to Z or by name and we all know models names change from site to site and that is another gripe towards better model identification. The main stay models they do have, unfortunately are more PG, meaning no views of the real goods, save a shadow or two.
Another negative was when I joined it took three hours before I could log on which was a major turnoff, but all sites generally come with one glitch, so no big deal. However, it took CCBill five business days to respond to a complaint and had I been down that whole time, they would have been extremely slow to repsond to the issue.
That is not necessarily a problem of the
staff who uses their services. They also offer EPOCH as a way to pay as well. There is one cross or upsell to watch for when signing up.
Overall, the quality of the models and photography and such is well above average, but in my opinion this site trails
Met Art
and especially MPL a site I now think sets the pace for art nude erotic photography in this niche.
I recommend
for those interested in these types of sites and feel it is a very good site. I am a very picky purveyor and I found quality but not without some serious work and the aforementioned crossed eyes.
One telling thing for me which makes it clear it'll be another two years before I revisit was that in the entire month of the membership, save two days left, I downloaded 10 of 63 photo updates, which shows a slight decline in quality per average. I dowloaded the majority of 19 models content.
That to me is a great value but I expected more in that I waited over two years between memberships. If this makes any sense, I was both a satisifed customer that was a little disappointed at the same time and I absolutely detested how hard it was to search the models for the material I covet.

On numerous occasions I've thought about joining Club Seventeen but that price is more than a little outrageous. It is probably one of the most expensive sites out there.
While I feel certain I'd enjoy the content, download speeds are important for me as are zip files for picture sets. I've heard there were no zips on a couple of occasions and that the download speeds were sketchy at best.
I've also heard that a lot of the material is old and that all the sets look similar in their colorful backdrops and or decor. Until they come down on that price, I will simply have to wonder what I am missing. At just under $40.00 American currency, purveyors can get two memberships elsewhere for the same price and that trumps all.
I would still like to know more about their downlaod speeds tho ... and how often they update.

They seem determined to stay at a price that deters many users. I will add that I do not think the site is worth 35 bucks. Also, I think they do and or did have a 1 GB per day limit on downloads. If anybody does join, I would like their take. I'm thinking I may have overrated the site by a point or two in my review, but I am still chomping at the bit to download some models sets I have seen since my last visit.

Firstly, if you have never joined
, I would still go for them first, especially with the price offered here. For me, MPL just hit the spot and the quality was unexpected so to speak.
I did have some troubles with downloads and in fact it seemed as if you could get away with two at a time but not more which is a pain in the rear.
I did get multiple downloads to go through but noticed they were slow. As for being blocked, that never happened. And for rating the site higher than
Met Art
? I just think their videos put them over the top and they have a handful of my absolute favortite models.
Lastly, there videos are not superb, just better than Mets. And that pricing? It has hindered me from re-joining but as I said, I would like to again. I would scan their models and the amount of sets they have and if they feel your needs, take the plunge.
I can say that I have NEVER seen this site run a special anywhere.

Actually, most of the reviews are from memory. I usually do the same, back the stuff up and then have access later. I will try a new site this week, just not sure which one right now.

It's hard to find honest reviews these days and this place seems to have earned credibility. I have at least 6-8 more reviews coming and look forward to hearing about sites I may want to join. Hopefully, I can earn more trust.

- Superb models are top notch
- High production values
- Easy to navigate, uncluttered layout
- Classy feel to the site
- Would prefer another option or two concerning photo size.
- Did not see support for mass dowloading tools.
- Dowload speeds seemed to slow after a few sets.
Bottom Line:
After joining
MPL Studios
for the first time about 3-4 months ago, I can say that I am looking forward joining again, or am I? It's no secret that MPL is proud of their site via their pricing and with it being over $30.00 American currency many balk at doing so until content is fresh again. As is the case with many of us purveyors, the site added one of my favorite models who is now up to 4 sets after my expiration and that is a clear sign that they are updating frequently.
MPL Studios
is of course, a site similar to
Met Art
in many ways, but of late they are on top due to booking some really hot models, namely Amiele, a fine young lady who has yet to appear on
Met Art
. The overall quality of the site is amazing. There just seems to be very little bad content on the site IMO, making surfing easier for those who want to avoid the usual additional fodder.
Met Art
still has better resolution on their picture sets, MPL is close enough to satisfy those who appreciate beautiful young models. The sites content is still building and give this site a year or two and they will be as good as any art nude and or softcore site around. The site is obviously not for those who seek hardcore porn, but the trade off is the high quality of babe, some which have very little content floating about on the web, like a blond jewel named Heather.
There videos are well done, better than
Met Art
and more revealing. They could still be better but overall they are quite satisfying. MPL Studio's search features are decant as well, but simply going down the list of models was a convenient way to find the best content for this user. You can also find hot models you grew up loving, like Svetlana who has over 50 sets. And they use backdrops to their feature offerings as good as anyone in the business.
I would like to see them up the pix count on some of their photography for some sets downloaded seemed distant. MPL has a high standard of presentation and they come off professional in every way. It's nice to see the rare combination of tasteful, yet explicit sets and vids. They currently have 140,000 plus images and close to 300 videos which seem to get better as they hatch.
One of the things I noticed the first go round was that while their stable of models was really good, they needed more. Well, it seems they read my mind and have since been adding more quality models to the fold. The models do not look rough in any way. They look happy, relaxed and that makes for some good stuff. Rumor is that the site pays their models well and concentrates on keeping fresh faces coming.
Download speeds were very good, but not great. They added a new set or video everyday, so you cannot complain there with the current standards out there. They feature the usual live streaming videos and their quality is above average if this is something you seek.
I feel certain you will enjoy your experience at this site if you love well done softcore.

- Deep archives, especially photos
- Nice collection of classic sets
- Recently added Flash Player
- Recent updates are stale
- Presentation issues galore
- Models less and less attractive
- Download speeds are slow
Bottom Line:
Let me start by saying I used to love this site. It takes a good long time to go through the deep archives of photo sets on this site and there you will find some of those classic ones from days gone by.
This site was a true player at one time but they have taken a nose dive of late. Material seems recycled and the updates while frequent are just plain lame for my tastes.
You used to see a lot of new models on the site, cute ones, but now some look rather homely as if the photographers are clueless as to how to add a nice hair do or make up -- raw. When surfing there of late, it feels late 90's.
Sometimes cute models are masked by a deplorable head shot making one think they are not worth a look. This is the weakness of
Teen Dreams
, their presentation.
The content itself are average at best videos, and several picture sets featuring solo, hardcore, straight and lesbian. They also have a chat area similar to the many out there meaning it is not for everyone. A lot of their sets appear elsewhere like Paul Markham and it appears as if they will no longer shoot their own stuff.
They have worked on some of the needed changes and they are on the right track but work remains. Decent search features help but even they could be improved upon.
The site also has some stuff from
Viv Thomas
which is a plus, but many of those sets are old and the quality of the picture sets is quite average.
The site can be time consuming. You get a picture of the video box instead of the actual scene with video updates. That means a user must click each box to see the actual scene with no "real or acceptable" preview. I ended up avoiding the clicks after realizing how clunky the set up was. They would be doing themselves a favor separating the videos from pictures.
Search features as mentioned are good, but several models have two names and the webmaster needs to combined them for the sake of seekers.
I'm afraid
Teen Dreams
is going about it with smoke and mirrors these days of late They seem to be one of many former mainstay sites on the brink of becoming stale.
Download speeds are very slow for me and the picture sets have way too many photos, some of them being pretty much the same. Almost all their content seems to be coming from a certain place I will not mention, so take that for what it's worth.
Despite my negative feelings towards their demise of late, I would still recommend you join
Teen Dreams
at least one time for their vast archives. While most of the content you will download will be a tad dated, there is some good stuff to be had. You will however, need to be patient, for it takes time to turn up the good stuff but vasious search features once mastered should help. Picture resolution varies, but most are very good at least in sets the past five years or so..

- 100% original content
- Beautiful models
- High standards in their photography
- Good reputation, has stood the test of time
- Solid value, especially with specials
- All this great photography ... so what happened with the videos?
- A stong lay out but still has navigation issues and it can be improved on.
- Sometimes, sets seem to disappear in the archives
Bottom Line:
If you love beautiful, nubile models then you have to join
Met Art
at least one time. There is no hardcore here, nor insertions, but they keep you occupied with a stable of top notch models. This site is for those who appreciate art photography, so it is not always, how should I say ... revealing as some might want.
They update on an acceptable basis and seemingly seek some of the best models out there.
Met Art
was the first in art-like model photography and they are still at the top but other sites are catching up, namely
MPL Studios
. In fact, these three are not that far apart.
I'm sure the folks at Met-Art think others copied their style and don't like it. They did. They should take it as a compliment in that they are doing something right. Still the aforementioned sites are neck and neck with the old girl these days
Several of the models have now done hardcore porn but most on the site have not.
Met Art
continues to get the best models but the competition has closed and that is good for the consumer in that it keeps all parties pumping out good content and contracting models that are top notch.
There is a plethora of different resolutions are available for Met Arts picture sets and they take you to where you can see those lovely golden hairs on the models, giving one the impression they are right there! They have the best overall photos around!
I am not a fan of their videos. They're not bad but they seem a tad too soft in that picture sets are more revealing. You might say, they are li ... lame and need rethinking. They could use some new blood behind those cameras, IMO. On the other hand, they are far from trash, just not what you would expect after seeing their incredible photos.
They've added a live chat area that is well set up if that's your cup of tea but extra charges will apply. As most of you know, some of the talent in chat areas can be in a word scary and by average standards
Met Art
is on the upper side of the equation but none I have seen are great.
I remember the first time discovering the site and downloaded a lot of sets that have stood the test of time.
Download speeds are fine with a good connection and there is a lot of content to keep you occupied with new discoveries of the flavor of the month.
A classy site, that is a main stay if you like young, tight, natural models.
This is a site that perfectly compliments a harder site and it is especially for those who do not like just any old porn but beauty.
If they master their videos, they'll rock!

And this is the problem with sites of late in that they are not recognizing that any hint of deception is the kind of turn-off that sticks with users.

Nubiles Captain's Reply
The mere fact that you cared enough to respond earns you a point in my book. Running web sites is not easy chore despite what many might think and making the right changes can be tricky. I think you'll do well once the facelift is complete in that it's what kills many sites, IMO. Thanks for the offer on the models, but it's not that big of a deal. It takes a bit to go through them but I can assure you that there are around 4 very nice looking babes that had no content under their model pictures in the preview area the last time I perused your site. Hey, it happens, but is frustrating when it was a couple of the models that made me pull the trigger, again. As for the rating, you will still be one of my best for I'm a mildly tough critic. Best of luck with your site. And for what it's worth, everybody should check out Nubiles if you never have.

- Slender teen models
- Lot's of content
- Updates fairly regular
- Recent drop in pricing is a plus
- Lists models pictures that appear nowhere on the site. (My personal pet peeve)
- Some of the photography is amatuerish
- A lot of stale stuff still floating from years gone by
Bottom Line:
With three experiences under my belt, I can say that this is a good site, but overrated, IMO. There is a lot of stuff here for sure, but after a year away, by rejoining, I was personally disappointed. Some sets are not original as well and can be found elsewhere. This is one of the original teen sites and thus far it is standing the test of time. I have noticed some deep discount offerings of late, notably a tie in with Met-Art for 29.99 US currency. A good facelift could work wonders for them for their interface is underwhelming at this time. If you have never joined, you should do so once, for there is a sufficient amount of hot babes mixed in with a large data base of models. But those faces which appear in the preview yet have no sets or galleries? Errr....... Mainly Euro models which you have likely seen before with some Americans mixed in as well. Youthful, if not nimble models, but most have done hardcore before so no new discoveries for us who are always looking for the next hot Nubile babe. Several video formats available, some work better than others. if you are a Boob Monster, this site is not for you and is geared towards those of us who prefer their women au natural.

- High quality porn vids and picture sets
- Site lay out is user friendly
- The owners vision is refreshing
- They care for their models before shoots
- Site content is growing, so, not a ton of it just yet. Photo sets not as good as the videos.
- Serious issues with videos ending up on free sites in very short time.
- Bad editing on some videos, no climax
Bottom Line:
A nice, unique art-porn site that features attractvie models having hot sex. Nice picture sets as well and a good selection of models to date. You don't feel like you need a shower after visiting the site in that their affairs are handled with class. They have shown the ability to take experienced models and make them fresh, if not innocent.
Some videos, leave you hanging in that they have an awkward end. By that I mean no climax. Some picture sets have the same look after one becomes accustomed to offerings. Some are as small as ten pics, many are average at best. I think the goal was to make it appear they had more sets. Many of the picture sets are directly from the video, so nothing new. One more thing, videos are fairly short, all under ten minutes.
When I first joined, content was mimimal. After my membership expired they seemed to add a lot more content. Worth one try for sure, but I would wait a good six months for content to catch up after that. Most of their videos end up on free sites far too quickly, a problem many are having in the current climate of on-line porn. Classy site overall, but nothing overly special just yet, but the potential is there. Again, worth a look and I will likely pay anpother visit in six months time.

About the ManufacturerFor 45 years, Angeles has striven to make the best possible product for their child care users. They started with the now-legendary line of tricycles, "bikes" to most of you, and the SilverRiders are still the best-selling bikes in the world.
Because of their passion for the children and care-givers in the field, Angeles is constantly on the lookout for needs which aren't being met. Directors and care-givers are their best sources of information, and the needs expressed are often the nucleus of an Angeles product development program.
That's how their Bye-Bye Buggy got started. Every new Angeles product goes through extensive testing in centers to insure that every factor of safety, durability, and play value are successfully addressed. (The Bye-Bye Buggy actually went through 8 stages of prototyping and testing.)
Angels Rest cots, in a range of attractive colors, initiated the concept that "institutional doesn't have to be ugly". And, the Cot Activity Center recognizes that space in the classroom is precious, and it turns storage space into play space.
Baseline Furniture sets new standards for appearance and safety in classroom furniture. For the first time, tables, chairs, and furniture come in coordinated colors for the total classroom look. The Angeles-developed laminates are highly durable and very attractive. The soft edges on tables, bookcases, and lockers help protect children.
Every Angeles product comes with a generous warranty – in case they inadvertently goof. Spare parts are always available to help you maintain your valuable Angeles products – and Angeles does mean always; they can still fix your 1958 trikes.

CANTON A Canton town judge has dismissed stalking charges against Colton environmental activist and former congressional candidate Donald L. Hassig, who was accused of harassing St. Lawrence County Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway.
Mr. Hassig disagrees with Ms. Hathaways approach to educating the public with respect to chemicals he believes are carcinogens. Justice Cathleen E. OHoro concluded Tuesday that the states stalking law was never meant as a provision whereby governmental officials could hope to silence those with whom they did not agree.
Trespassing charges will proceed, however.
Ms. Hathaway declined comment Thursday, but said she was aware of the ruling.
Mr. Hassig hailed the decision in an email.
Honor to Judge Cathleen OHoro for valuing the right of American citizens to petition government for much needed action, Mr. Hassig wrote.
Mr. Hassig was arrested on Nov. 7 by St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies, who said he had harassed Ms. Hathaway continuously since 2010. It was from that arrest that the fourth-degree stalking charge considered by Ms. OHoro arose.
On Oct. 30, Mr. Hassig was arrested by state police during a demonstration at the St. Lawrence County Human Services Building, 80 Route 310, at which he was accused of playing loud music and aggressively approaching people as they walked through the lobby. He was charged with trespassing in that case.
Mr. Hassig also petitioned the court to have that charge dismissed. Ms. OHoro ruled that the charge will stand, and will be scheduled for a non-jury trial.
He also was charged with trespassing on Oct. 24 during a similar demonstration at Massena Memorial Hospital, at which time Mr. Hassig said it was the fifth time he had been charged over the course of a year for public protest, including arrests in Potsdam, Watertown and Parishville.
Ms. OHoro ruled that Mr. Hassigs actions, though persistent and clearly intended to cause Ms. Hathaway to change her behavior, did not meet the legal definition of stalking.
Whether one agrees with Mr. Hassigs position or not, the fact remains that he is entitled to his position and is entitled to present his views so long as he does not upset the public order, the judge wrote.
St. Lawrence County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire declined comment on the ruling, but said we would hope that Mr. Hassig, as with any member of the public who visits the courthouse or our offices, would conduct himself in a manner that is nonconfrontational, or that would not seem to be something out of the ordinary.

The trophies keep coming in for all-time quad great David Wagner.
The Chula Vista, Calif., resident teamed with Great Britain's Andrew Lapthorne to win the 2014 Australian Open quad doubles title, defeating Australia's Dylan Alcott and South Africa's Lucas Sithole, 6-4, 6-4, in the final. Wagner and Lapthorne committed just four unforced errors in the match and converted on 5 of their 11 break-point opportunities.
The championship marks Wagner's fifth quad doubles title in Melbourne, having won previously with fellow American Nick Taylor in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013. Wagner and Taylor also own five US Open Wheelchair Competition doubles titles and captured the Paralympic gold medal in quad doubles in 2004, 2008 and 2012.
Also Thursday, Wagner defeated Sithole, 7-6, 7-6, in singles to advance to the Australian Open quad singles final. He will face Sithole again in the final; both Wagner and Sithole went 2-1 in round-robin play to advance.
Wagner is the defending Australian Open quad singles champion, having won the tournament twice (2011, '13) in his career.

Are you a budding artist looking forward to establish yourself in this fiercely populated and competitive music industry? Basically, success in the music community depends on three main factors. Good music, buying Soundcloud followers, good production and good promotion. A flaw in any one of the three factors means your survival is doubtful and eventually your boat is likely to sink.
Today, making a music album is very easy. Unlike the past when you needed Music Company and a label to promote your music to the world, today, the social media network and mediums like facebook and twitter etc, has made it possible to self promote music and art work. Increasing numbers of people are doing their own stuff and posting it online for their friends and the rest of their networks to see, and thus become popular. However, if your music is not good or appealing, it is definitely not going to be appreciated, and no one will replay it again.…
Why do you need Soundcloud music promotion?

LISBON - While Heuvelton developed into a dominant championship team in NAC West Softball race, Lisbon methodically fashioned itself into a very formidable second place finisher.
The No. 3 seed Knights went 10-4 on the regular season and earned a late-season appearance in the state rankings.
Lisbon earned the right play Chateaugay or Madrid-Waddington in the Section 10 Class D semi-finals on Tuesday by edging No. 6 seed Colton-Pierrepont 4-3 in 10 innings on Wednesday. No. 20 state ranked and No. 2 seed Chateaugay held a 7-4 lead over No. 7 seed Madrid-Waddington when the game was suspended by rain and will resume today in the fifth inning at 4 p.m.
No. 5 seed Hammond downed No. 4 seed Edwards-Knox 4-3 and Heuveltons game with Parishville-Hopkinton was postponed until today.
Lisbon 4, C-P 3: The Golden Knights erased a 3-1 deficit with two runs in the sixth inning and converted off the speed-up rule in the bottom of the 10th after stranding C-P runners on second and thirdbase.
The bottom of the 10th inning began with Sam Gladle placed on secondbase by the speed-up rule. Natalia Pitts followed with a single and Gabby Walker ripped her third single of the game, up the middle, which plated the winning run.
This is just a great win for the girls. We kept battling and Alyshia Murray pitched an outstanding game for us. Their pitcher also did a great job, said Lisbon Coach Renee Robinson.
We worked very hard to prepare for their bunting game and Alyshia Murray is the perfect pitcher for that. She fields everything and makes very strong and accurate throws to first.
Murray handled six groundballs and struck out six, did not allow a walk after passing the games first batter and backed by a sure-handed defense blanked a very solid C-P team over the last seven innings.
Sabrina Johnson walked only one batter and struck out five going all 10 innings for the 9-10 Colts.
Andrea Aldous, who made two-game saving plays at secondbase in the late innings, and Eve Whalen singled to produce a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Aldous also singled and scored in the third inning on a single by Kathyrn Miller.
Walker singled scored Lisbons first run in the first inning and then singled to start a two-run sixth which tied the game. Sierra Dobbs stroked an RBI single in the sixth and Katie Sovie plated the tying run with a groundout.
Pitts doubled and singled for Lisbon with Murray, Alison Mitchell, Katie Sovie, Alex Amo and Nicole Neadom stroking singles.
Aldous and Whalen both singled twice for C-P and Kathyrn Miller, Cortney Miller, and Kylie McKinley adding singles.
Hammond 4, E-K 3: Alyssa Crosby smacked two singles and a RBI triple and Taylor Bowman added a RBI triple for the Red Devils who scored twice in the sixth and seventh. Brianna Langtry added a double and a single while Makayla Horton fanned two batters, walked four in a six hitter.
Edwards-Knox received two hits from Katrina Moore and singles from Makayla Bacon, Mackenzie Halls, and Sarah Rice. M. Bacon fanned 10 batters and allowed three walks and five hits in the setback.
Chateaugay 7, M-W 4: The playoff contest in Chateaugay was suspended due to unplayable field conditions after a pair of afternoon thundershowers moved through the Franklin County area.

MASSENA - When asked if Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo would like to see schools merging with each other, Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine said he doesnt necessarily think thats the case.
Thats a local decision, Mr. Aubertine said during a visit to the Daily Courier-Observer office Tuesday to promote the governors budget.
Mr. Aubertine said the school funding picture is a result of a tough fiscal climate facing the state and not a desire to see schools merge or close their doors.
There may be a different dynamic here than there is maybe in other parts of the state, but at the same time the governor did propose a 4.4 percent raise in education aid, Mr. Aubertine said. The governor has been pretty clear that the state isnt an endless pot either. The reality is the well is only so deep and youre pretty close to the bottom of it.
Mr. Aubertine did note that the budget includes an initiative to reward high performing teachers across the state known as the Master Teacher Initiative. Another of the governors initiatives, although not addressed in this years budget, is the possible expansion of the school day.
As the end of the day its all about being competitive on the world stage, he said. Theres going to be a culture change and a change in priorities. In an effort to that and identify the top teachers, the governor has put in for the Master Teacher Initiative.
Mr. Aubertine explained that program would identify the top teachers in the state and then pay them an additional $15,000 more per year for four or five years.
Another portion of the governors budget, which has drawn the ire of some finance experts, is his pension stabilization program, a program that Mr. Aubertine admits may not be right for everyone.
It varies from community to community, he said. What works in Massena may not work in Ogdensburg.
Mr. Aubertine said the program is nothing more than an option to that could potentially help school districts or municipalities in need of immediate savings.
Its not a mandate, its optional, he said, adding the majority of savings associated with the new Tier 6 pension level wont be realized for 20 years, when many governing bodies could use those savings now.
Some people call it a gimmick, but the fact is it levels out what youre going to pay, he said. I think thats something every municipality and school district should take a look at to see how it impacts them.
Mr. Aubertine also said its his understanding the pension stabilization plan includes a one-time opt out, allowing school districts or municipalities the chance to leave the program, if, down the road, they realize the program is no longer right for them.
I advocate you take a good hard look at it before you decide its not for you, he said.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- First time O.U.I. offenders might not have to lose their driver's license, but they will need to pay for it. A proposed bill would allow those facing their first charge to install an ignition interlock device to skip license suspension.
Frank Harris with Mothers Against Drunk Driving said, "It's more of an effective approach to dealing with drunk driving than hoping for the best and taking away the license of a convicted drunk driver."
Supporters hope this will cut down on first time offenders re-offending. Some, however, disagree with parts of the proposal. Defense attorney Wayne Foote said one problem with the current draft is that it treats all first time offenders the same.
According to Foote, first time offenders with a blood alcohol level lower than .15 are not likely to re-offend.
Foote said, "People that are not a public safety concern should not be burdened with the extra cost. They should be allowed to have work licenses or if they want the interlock to get the interlock. But at least for work licenses for the full 90 days there's not need to give them the 180 day suspension."
Under the current law, those faced with their first charge will lose their license for 90 days. The proposed bill would allow the offender to keep their license, but use the ignition interlock device for 180 days.
There is a cost once the offender is approved for the device. The average cost is $80 installation, $60 per month, $15 every three months, and $40 to remove the device.
"That may not sound like a lot of money until you look at low-income Mainers, people who are disabled, students, people that work a lot of service industry jobs. A hundred dollars a month is a lot of money," said Foote.
Supporters argue this is in the best interest of both the offender and the public.
Harris said, "Ignition Interlocks are effective in reducing repeat offenders.
According to the center of disease control and prevention, Ignition interlocks reduce repeat offenses and save lives at a greater rate than just license suspension."
The bill is currently being reviewed by the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. Lawmakers are working with groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving and AAA to make the appropriate revisions.

The iPhone 5 release is only weeks away, and Apple is already planning for turnover. If you're willing to hand over your old iPhone 4S when it releases the new 5, Apple will give you a $345 Apple gift card.
Through its Reuse and Recycling program, Apple plans to offer the gift cards in exchange the older model. Whether or not you are eligible for the trade depends on the condition of your 4S.
The first step in determining whether you've got a phone that Apple wants is to get an evaluation from Apple's online wizard. The wizard lets you select the model, color and condition of your iPhone 4S then it will crank out an estimated value of the device. Obviously, scratches, water damage, or other flaws will diminish the value of your phone.
Their Reuse and Recycling program applies to other Apple devices, including iPads, Macs and even PC computers. The program has you send in your device to Apple for assessment. They'll determine the exchange value and get back to you. If they say it's not eligible for reimbursement, you can still turn your device over to Apple for recycling.
Gift cards can be used at any Apple retail or online store. Although you still have to shell out the money for the iPhone 5, this is a decent way to offset the cost of all the extras you will absolutely have to have for your new device.
