Darryl Worley's new single, "Have You Forgotten," is getting some serious attention lately.
Recently, NBC's "Today Show" and also "Inside Edition" called on him to interview him about the single. Darryl said that he's surprised that people viewed his song as a call to arms. "We didn't sit down to write a pro-war song," he explains. "It was written to honor our American military troops and to be a reminder of what happened to our country on 9/11."
However, he is not upset at the comparison, saying: "I do support [President Bush] and I think he's on the right track."

Mandatory disclosure and building energy efficiency
The buildings we live and work in have a measurable impact on our environment. As of 1 November last year, mandatory disclosure of the environmental performance of commercial office buildings over 2,000 square meters came into effect.
The Commercial Buildings Disclosure (CBD) program is a national scheme administered by the Federal Government, based on the New South Wales National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). CBD is designed to improve the performance of Australia's commercial building stock by helping tenants and purchasers of buildings understand, at the point of sale, the financial and environmental costs of running the building.
Under the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010, there are mandatory obligations applicable to many commercial buildings. Most sellers or lessors of office space of 2,000 square metres or more are required to obtain and disclose a current Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC). A BEEC, valid for 12 months from date of creation, is comprised of:
- a NABERS Energy star rating for the building
- an assessment of tenancy lighting in the area of the building that is being sold or leased
- general energy efficiency guidance.
Even for those not currently liable under the CBD program, understanding the energy efficiency of your building is vital for businesses looking to reduce operating costs, improve your environmental credentials and even boost employee satisfaction
Reduced operating costs and longer maintenance schedules are commonly known benefits of investing in greener technologies, but there are other dividends of green buildings that the market is starting to reveal. Improved staff morale, productivity and retention can be considerable benefits associated with a 'greener' building, and if incorporated into investment decisions, can provide very attractive returns on investment (ROI)1.
Owners of green buildings can also expect better rental occupancy rates and a price premium for high performing buildings. A 2011 study by the Australian Property Institute and Property Funds Association, Building Better Returns found that a 5 star NABERS energy rating delivered a 9 per cent premium in value, and a 3.5 – 4 star energy rating delivered a 2-3 per cent premium.
How does your building measure up? If you would like more information, please call a VECCI Sustainability Consultant on 03 8662 5196 or visit the websites below.

'Survivor: Nicaragua' Season 21, Episode 9 Recap
by Audrey Fine, posted Nov 11th 2010 10:30AM
['Survivor: Nicaragua' - 'Running the Camp']
Last night's was a good old-fashioned episode of 'Survivor' that kept us guessing till Probst read the final, deciding vote. And, then, had us reaffirming the fact that in this game, you really, REALLY, never know what's going to happen 'til it happens.
But, let's start at the very beginning. (A very good place to start.)
Marty clearly ruffled a few feathers during last week's Tribal Council when he set out to derail Jane by pointing out that she, above the rest, was truly deserving of the million dollar purse and therefore a huge threat.
During the post-Tribal pow-wow, all sorts of folks had their [dirty] panties in a twist about it. "I think that tonight's Tribal really shook things up," began consummate shaker-upper NaOnka. "Marty was going a little too hard on [Jane]," she said.
Chase and Brenda(and a whole host of others) seemed to concur but, at the same time you could almost read their thought bubbles. "Bad Marty," the bubbles said. "He called out the sweet old lady. But wait ... maybe, just maybe now that I think about it, he has a point. She DOES have a sob story, etc. She could easily win the money, etc."
And, before we knew it Marty had apparently accomplished his mission -- he planted the seed that even though Jane brought in the daily catch, Libertad would be better off without its meal ticket. But, Marty's not stupid and he realized that by "clearing the air" he drew an even bigger target on his back -- one that he'd spend the entire episode trying to reduce by endeavoring to convince everyone to vote for NaOnka, flush out the idol and blindside Jane. That was the plan. But would it work?
Right off the bat, we were treated to a fun and physical (finally!) "get the three keys and unlock your flag" reward challenge which had the players randomly drawing for teams and "amazingly" end up with a Men vs. Women scenario -- with Chase sitting out. "This doesn't mean you're out of it," Probst told the trucker-cap wearing jackman. "You're going to choose one team to back. You choose the right team and you go on reward." And much to the macho brigade's utter disbelief, the good old boy "did something crazy" and sided with the chicks!
After huffing and puffing their way through piles of straw, sticks and bricks, the big bad men emerged triumphant by a pretty narrow margin despite an awesome showing by Jane (who, despite a feeble exterior, continues to amaze with her physical prowess) and they were off on their ziplining tour of the Nicaraguan jungle canopy and scarfing down a Survivor BBQ. Take that you turncoat Chase!
As could be expected, the dudes bonded over breathtaking views and brewskis, with Marty continuing his "vote NaOnka, blindside Jane" campaign while, back at camp, the girls (and Chase) bonded and kicked operation "Get Marty" into full gear. Or, at least they would have had the only man not been such a whine-o about every flipping detail. "Chase is always paranoid," said an exasperated Na' in her best "oh-no you dit' nt " voice after he went over and "irked" Brenda. "He's reaching a point where his alliance is sick of him. We might just have to swap you out for somebody else on the other side because your paranoia is getting to be too much."
After the physical Reward, the Immunity Challenge ended up being a memory game that saw players endeavor to memorize a pattern of "island" themed images as set forth by Probst. Marty was chomping at the bit and seemed convinced he'd walk away with the necklace. Jane? Not so much. And, sure enough she and Na were the first two out. It came down to Marty and Brenda with the latter pulling out the win in the end (and being typically none-too-modest about it).
Of course, Marty needed that necklace a heck of a lot more than did queen bee Brenda and he spent the remainder of the episode championing his flush/blindside plan and even seemed to win over one of his harshest critics. "What Marty said is absolutely true," admitted a big honking zit-plagued Brenda. "Jane is a huge threat and anyone who's thinking of going with her to the final is a fool because she would win. So, I agreed to it. We went along with the plan, but Marty's not running the camp. Sash and I are running the camp." So there. The omnipotent Brenda has spoken.
At Tribal, after interrogating Marty, Brenda and Jane about the goings-on around camp, Probst had the audacity to ask Na a question about her transgression with the food and unwittingly unleashed a stream-of-conciousness tirade. "I'm a humanitarian," she declared. "I'm human. I'm very far from stupid." Un-huh. An incredulous Marty and Fab had a field day with her non-sequiturs and giggled and rolled their eyes like school girls at everything that came out of her mouth.
But, guess who had the last laugh? Yup. Na, despite being a "liar and cheat and a steal," is still playing the game while Marty -- who, for the first time ever, seemed less than panicked about his fate in the vote -- is hanging on the Ponderosa, hopefully filling Coach's shoes of host extraordinaire. We'll talk to him later today and get his take on all this craziness.
'Survivor: Nicaragua' airs Wednesdays at 8PM ET on CBS.

A ?ring of retail? will remain on the first level of Tower Place, according to a report released by the Cincinnati Planning Department.
- Filed Under
The former Tower Place mall Downtown is going to be gutted - but not demolished - to make room for more parking, according to a report released late Thursday by the Cincinnati Planning Department.
Ramps from Race and Fourth streets will be built internally for access to the existing 525 spaces above the retail levels, and 250 new spaces will be added, the report says. A "ring of retail" will remain on the first level of both streets.
The report recommends selling the property to Brook Lane Holdings, an affiliate of JDL Warm Construction, which the city has selected to redevelop it. The city bought ...

Matthew L. Cloyd, 29, Sweet Springs, pleaded guilty to burglary in the first degree, assault in the first degree, armed criminal action and stealing in connection with an incident Sept. 13 near State Fair Boulevard. The victim awoke to find a stranger in her house. The intruder threatened her with a knife and stabbed her twice in the arm before she successfully fought him off.
The defendant was arrested the next day. Sedalia Police investigators found the victim's blood on clothing at the home where the defendant was staying. Also, the defendant's shoes provided a general match to bloody shoeprints at the victim's home. A necklace and another item stolen from the victim were found in the defendant's wallet.
While he initially denied any involvement in the crime, after Sedalia Police Det. Aaron Berry confronted the defendant with the items found in his wallet, he admitted he had been high on methamphetamine and did not recall what he was doing at the time of the offense.
Today's guilty plea cancelled the trial, set for July 24 through 26 in Cooper County. The defendant was sentenced to 25 years in prison, and he will be required to serve at least 17 years before he is eligible for parole.
This successful result is a credit to the quality of the Sedalia Police Department's investigation, which was supported by excellent cooperation from the victim.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
ORLANDO, Florida (AP) - A central Florida man looking to buy marijuana ended up losing his shirt over the deal - or something like that.
The Orlando Sentinel reports Carlos Villamar stopped by an Orlando apartment to buy some pot early Saturday morning.
When the 29-year-old allegedly asked a group of several men if they had any weed, authorities said one man placed a gun to his head while others robbed him of cash, his driver's license and his pants.
While Villamar did go to police to tell them of his pants heist, he reportedly refused to sign a sworn statement and signed a card stating he did not intend to prosecute his robbers if they get caught.

Only 4 tries with the bear bag?
Last time I was at the gorge I tried atleast a dozen times before I got my bag hung.
Don't have to bag too high in my area, just enough to keep the smaller critters out of it all. Bear bagging is not one of my strong points that is for certain.

Well, there are SUPPOSED to be GPS coordinates and altitude in the upper right corner. I didn't notice that they weren't there. The upper left corner shows what time I took the snap, my bearing and the azimuth. The bearing arrow shows,well, my bearing. For some reason everything that was on the screen didn't show up in the picture. My speed, the GPS coordinates and other stuff should be there. There are a lot of other functions on this app that I haven't explored or understand yet. I just barely understand the compass! Here's the manual for the app:

Good for you, GrannyPat! Always a good thing to get a little solitude. I think Shug may be right about the metabolism and the early morning chills. Glad you had a good hang.
looks like a nice spot

This is a medium weight wool knit in cream, ideal for sweaters.
Color: Cream
Width: 68"
Content: WOOL
Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

Wonderful and soft
August 22, 2014
I've used wool knits before, but this was probably my favorite. It was heavier than what I've used before without being sweater or winter weight, and it was very soft and not itchy. I've got a bit left over from the tank-style top I made, and I plan on reordering to make an off-the-shoulder fall top.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

Awesome photos and commentary. She was one of the most beautiful of the Rochester Movie Palaces – a true tragedy when she came down in 1965.
Awesome photos and commentary. She was one of the most beautiful of the Rochester Movie Palaces – a true tragedy when she came down in 1965.
Fascinating urban archaeology. In the Bay Area there exist at least two similar former theatre sites. The 1950 SERRA Theatre in Daly City (covered in Jack Tillmany's and my book). A Hampton Inn was built on the site, utilizing the foundation, basement, and lower portions of some auditorium sidewalls in the new construction. A large portion of the terrazzo entryway floor exists right underneath the terra cotta floor of the hotel's port cochiere. Also, I think if one were to excavate the parking lot that occupies the site of San Francisco's GRANADA/PARAMOUNT, one would find the same thing. One concrete auditorium sidewall still stands. Also, one might find this under the parking lot which occupies the site of the Capitol Theatre in Salem, OR. The office/retail portion, and the stage house still stand (the latter a storage facility, with the proscenium bricked-up), but the rest of the theatre footprint is simply blacktop.
The Rochester TV station is doing a story on this tonight at 5:30.
I remember that Christmas tree! I saw "It's A Wonderful Life" at the Palace – opening day matinee – Christmas week of 1946. Packed house! I was 12. Gorgeous 3000 seat theatre. Loew's Rochester was as large as the Palace but, in appearance, couldn't hold a candle to the Palace. The Paramount was large but rather tacky. And the RKO Temple was simply drab (and played junk).
Rochester is fortunate in still having the Eastman Theatre.
Wow — amazing! How I wish that theater was still standing.

Ox Pass
Casting Calls
I've been reviewing the sites from OX Pass, also known as the Bang Brothers network, and I haven't been impressed with very many of the sites. However, after taking a look at the new "casting" section of the network I have found a bit of a gem. It's possible that lots of other networks have casting sections like this one, so please indulge me if that's true. I've seen others before, but none of them as interesting as this one.
I think what I like the most about the casting calls is that they aren't full of the BS that often occurs during the scenes they end up shooting for the network. In fact, I found that one of the scenes I have seen was totally a lie since in the casting call one girl mentioned how much she dislikes cumshots and prefers girls. The camera guy talked her into doing a scene for
where she'd only have to jerk a guy off. Then, in the scene she eventually filmed, it shows her begging for the guy to cum on her since she loves it so much!
Now, some of you are undoubtedly saying, who cares? You do have a point and I will not rant on it anymore. I will say however, that I found the scenes with the girls from the casting call to be more interesting after getting to hear about them. Maybe that makes me a total sap, but so be it! Giant boobs or a great ass makes up a lot of what's sexy, but if the girl is a total jackass or isn't into her scenes I don't really care to watch in the first place.
So, if you have you OX Pass, check out the casting section!
DP Babes
Contradiction In Terms?
Ok, this is one really makes no sense to me. In the description for this one, which would have the full title of "Double
Penetration Babes
", it is listed at being an amateur site (see my previous comments for my feeling on this one), but the more shocking descriptor is "Soft Content". What? How can a site where a girl lets two guys penetrate her at once possibly be soft?
I gave it the benefit of the doubt figuring that someone may get off on something like that being implied and not shown, but even the tour shows the penetration without any little blurry spots to make it R rated as opposed to XXX. I understand the problem figuring out if a site is amateur, I really do. However, how can a site like this possibly be described as soft content?
Naughty Flipside
For Better or For Worse?
I have to admit that when I first saw this site introduced today on TBP, I was pissed. Once again we have a site from
Naughty America
categorized as amateur girls that upon the quickest inspection clearly features pornstars. You easily recognize the names on the tour and I wasn't very open to this one. However, the more I thought about it the more I realized that maybe it's not so bad and my prior view of NA was getting in the way.
The byline on the site's main page is "a sharp fucking contrast to reality" which upon first inspection compelled me to react with a hearty, "Yeah right!" My cynical response aside, it really does appear that NA is trying to do something creative here. My biggest criticism of their network was a lack of creativity more than it was about a lack of amateurs, so I'm certainly willing to give this one the benefit of the doubt and maybe it is worth a try for those looking for something a little different from a familiar source.
So, in trying to be a little more about the end of a Jerry Springer episode than an Afterschool Special, perhaps the lesson here is to be open to new kinds of porn, especially those featuring an "alt" feel. As with all kinds of alternative media, eventually those go mainstream and aren't really alternative at all. We're seeing that in the world of alt porn and that may end up sucking, but for better or for worse I still liked "alternative mainstream" and perhaps I will like this stuff too.
Ox Pass
Am I Missing Something Here?
I just joined up with Ox Pass and although I've found some downsides I'd say overall that I'm pretty happy. However, I did want to ask about the search function and options for finding and sorting the performers.
First, although I have typed in certain names into the search function, I have found girls that didn't appear in the search that I did find when browsing each site. Additionally, when I try to sort the girls using the alphabetical function, there are some that don't show up either. Is this a know issue?
Second, you can bring up a description of a girl from the cast list that includes attributes like hair color, weight, and breast size. I haven't found a way to search for these attributes, but figure there would have to be one since, otherwise, what's the point of having them listed? I tend to like bigger girls and would like to sort them by "averaqe" or "heavy" since, unlike Sir Mix A Lot, I don't like girls with "big butts" to have "itty bitty waists". ;)
If anyone can offer any insight here I'd appreciate it.
Reel Pass
Amateurs? Really? Are You Sure?
I apologize if my tone sounds overly accusatory, but I've been very mindful of the categorizations being used by TBP and PU and especially their definition of amateur content. I can't think it's easy finding a concise set of descriptions that allow them to be consistent and make it easy to find similar types of material. I just wanted to preface my complaint with that statement since the folks here have done more to classify sites than any other wbsite I've ever visited.
That said, in what way can this network be classified as amateur? The tour page shows a number of established pornstars and each site has a very glamour feel. One is described as featuring "porn newcomers" and and I suppose that could qualify as amateur, but all the sites feature performers that have names like "Melissa Milano" and "Tira Banks" which don't sound like amateurs.
I give the folks here all the credit in the world for doing a spectacular job and I feel conflicted about pointing out a detail that in the big picture is pretty damn minor. One of my recent rants even focused on the fact that many sites which claim to be amateur are really not, so finding the "real" ones isn't an easy job. All I can say is that this network didn't seem to come even close to being classified as amateur and I wonder if there's something I'm just not seeing. If so, please let me know what it is!
3D Girlz
Not Ready For Primetime?
I have always been intrigued by sites like this one that let you customize various features of performers, but until recently the graphics just weren't up to snuff. On initial inspection I'd have to say that it's still going to be awhile until a 3D image can turn me on enough to pay for it, but it does have some apparent advantages.
I must say that my interest was piqued while going through the tour since one of the things you can customize is the length of a perfromer's hair and anyone who has read my past comments (ok, perhaps more like rants) knows that I'm always searching desperately for sites featuring a girl with short hair.
Despite the ability to have short haired girls, I just don't think this one is for me, but would very much like to be convinced otherwise. I have seen some sites with customizable scenarios and real performers which look interesting, although there has to be a limit on how much you can do and I bet changing the girl's hairstyle isn't one of the options.
So, while we continue to wait for even better technology, if anyone has experiences with sites like this (or this specific site) I'd sure like to hear about them!
Lez Love
Searching For Real Lesbian Porn
I have been a frequent visitor at LezLoveVideo.com which offers a very wide slection of lesbian videos, both hardcore and softcore, that appeal especially to lesbians but also to couples. What I did not know until just recently however was that the same folks started it all with this site,
. I am a fan of the video store and its associated forum, so I thought I'd check out the free side of the original site.
At first glance it appears to have quite a collection of lesbian erotica, especially vintage content. There are many kinds of lesbian porn, some that just focus on kissing and/or tribbing, while others get into the "dyke" genre that isn't always considered P.C. While I can't say that any of these are the exact type of porn I enjoy, I have been increasingly dissatisfied with "mainstream" lesbian porn since it's made by men and often performed by women who are not lesbians. And despite the steamy nature of many lesbian scenes, you really can tell when one or both of the girls isn't really into it.
It's a not right at the top of my list of sites to join, especially since I get the impression that the site isn't updated that much (or at all), but I wanted to put it out there especially if anyone has been a member in the past. At the very least it's an interesting find in the TBP archives that some may enjoy. And if there are any real lesbian aficianados around here I'd sure like to hear from them!
Caballero Classics
A Blast From The Past!
I "came of age" into porn during the 1980s and watched countless flicks from the 70s and 80s with stars like Tori Welles, Blondi Bee, Erica Boyer, and
Ginger Lynn
. There were a number of studios that produced the videos I had in my collection, but there was probably none that was so well represented as Caballero Films.
So, as you might imagine I was very excited to see that all these vids were being collected on one site! It's done by the same folks at
Pornstar Classics
and the first question that comes to mind is whether these vids are also available there, but regardless the site carries a number of flicks from my past that I wondered if I'd ever see again.
I figure I'll probably do a review soon, but I wanted to draw attention to the site for any classic lovers like me and of course if anyone has already joined I want to hear details. On the surface at least, this one looks like a keeper.
Twilight Women
And Now For Something a Little Different
I've been told by some members here that they enjoy my comments on "out of the way" sites, which I very much appreciate. I've also heard from a member or two that says my comments are lame, which I accept too, but for those in the first category I offer my latest "find".
This site came to my attention through a porn blog where the people behind it were interviewed. The focus is lesbian content with an amteur feel, but there were two primary elements they wanted to incorporate that were diferent from most mainstream sites: character development and drama.
Now, some of you probably couldn't care less about such things and even I'll admit that such things can be tedious if done the wrong way. However, this one intrigues me despite the high price tag because if it delivers what it promises it may be well worth it. It claims to have hours of footage that's not exclusive, but certainly isn't anything I've encountered before. Just the section of links was interesting in offering some more offbeat sites.
Of course my new discovery coincides with just having shelled out my entire porn budget for the month on a site I ended up not liking, but this may very well be my next stop when my funds have been replenished. Again, it's not cheap ($30 a month), so I'm understandably cautious. If anyone has any experience with this site or any of the content they advertise, please drop a line and tell us about it.
And to those I annoy, I'm done now. Your patience is appreciated. :)
Housewife Adventures
Are They Even Trying Anymore?
As an ongoing rant, I never fail to be surprised at how thinly veiled sites are getting in regards to a theme. Maybe my memory suffers, but didn't they use to try to make us believe the scenarios just a little bit? The women on this site are clearly not housewives and I doubt highly they ever will be. They don't even change the names anymore!
I don't know about anyone else, but a little bit of fantasy would be nice and since they have gotten so blatant with the lackthereof perhaps I'm in the minority. Admittedly there is a fine line between effective fantasy elements and an enormous cheese factor, so it isn't easy to do. However, could they at least try? If not, why even bother with the housewives theme? Why not just call it Pornstars Screwing Each Other?
Elle Sommers
Amateur Sex AND Non-Nude?
I try not to go off on too many rants, but when I checked out TBP today I noticed this site which was categorized as both Non-Nude and Amateur Sex. I know that Non-Nude is a new category and maybe it was just mis-categorized for a previous review, but how can this be? I've also seen the "Sex" designation placed on sites that I was pretty confident were just modeling sites, so it's happened before. However, in this case it seems a lot more definitive that there wouldn't be sex with no one getting undressed!
Maybe it isn't a big deal, but I have made the assumption in the past that if TBP or PU uses the term "Sex" that means intercourse. We could get into a whole argument over Bill Clinton and saying that BJs and other oral contact isn't sex. However, I don't think that's the issue here. I just wanted to put that out there, but I could just be beating a dead horse. Opinions?
American Sport Girls
Are These "Jock Girls" For Real?
I have a number of "offbeat" fetishes and spend much time browsing the "Specialty" niche at TBP. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the section of the library no one ever visits, not because there aren't interesting books there, but because other sections are more popular. That's also where people go to have sex in a public place, but that doesn't fit my metaphor so just leave that part out for now. ;)
One of those fetishes is girls who play sports and while I think calling them Jock Girls makes no sense since they don't wear Jock-Straps, they usually have some cahones and that will suffice. I always enjoyed it when the tough girl in school would end up looking like a godess all dressed up for the prom or the tomboy you work with that let's her hair down after your shift is over. For lovers of that genre, we get a segment on ESPN about once a year profiling sexy athletes and we're always grateful.
So, when I saw this site I got excited, but upon further review it seems to just be glam girls dressed up in eye black and jerseys. I'm sure this is sexy to some, but submissive girls trying to appear tough just doesn't do it for me. Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard appearing in the next issue of Playboy? Yes, that's hot. This site? Not so much, at least what I've seen from the tour. If anyone has joined this site I'd love to know more because I rarely go dipping for gems when the price is $35! That makes me doubt anyone has joined, but I suppose it's worth a shot in the dark. ;)
Aria Giovanni
What's the Definition of Hardcore?
I've loved
Aria Giovanni
from the first time I saw her and although I haven't stopped, I did have a question that was prompted from my status as a fan. What constitutes hardcore? I'm probably the last person who noticed that Aria doesn't do b/g scenes since I was mesmerized by her beauty in picture sets. I'm definitely a video guy, but still found myself collecting her pic sets like they were candy or a recreational narcotic whose name is also often used to describe the region between a person's buttocks.
So, basically I had resigned myself to the fact that I'd never see Aria taken from behind by a studly dude or get a cumshot wherever she saw fit to let it land. However, two videos I came across recently made me wonder what defines hardcore. The first was of Aria going up and down on a dildo that was attached to a table, while the second showed her putting a fist up her love canal. Neither is particularly an original act, but when it involves a star that says she won't do hardcore I was very surprised and pleased to say the least.
What's the point of all this? Previously, hardcore didn't necessarily mean a b/g scene, but does mean there is penetration of some kind. Whether it's lesbian sex where there's mouth/finger to "hotbox" contact or Aria inserting various objects into herself, I defined that as hardcore. Am I wrong on that? It wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last if I am right, but regardless I'd be curious to hear what others think.
Bare Maidens
Me Thinks My Lady Hath Raised My "Sword"
I'm not usually an aficionado of softcore photography sites since I'm definitely a hardcore video type of guy, but even if you are like me I'd really suggest taking a look at this site. One of my favorite porn bloggers includes their stuff on her "nerdcore" themed blog since the nerds among us (ok, I'm one too and damn proud) like that sci-fi or, in this instance, fantasy genre look to the girls. There are plenty of known girls here as well as some newbies and the quality of the full size photos is excellent.
With all that said I don't think it's a site I'd be a member of for a long time since, again, I'm a video guy. However, I'd keep the downloaded members content in a safe place and already have some of the site's free stuff in my main porn gallery (the one that's actually on my hard drive, not in my archive of DVDs). Suffice it to say though that lovers of softcore photography should definitely take a look for something just a little different from all the rest.
Land of Venus
What's the Price of Asking the Price?
I've been interested in this site for awhile, but when I was checking to see if the cost of this site had changed, the "Join" page asked me to enter a Username, Password, and Email address before I could even find out how much it costs. I've encountered this before, but not very often and it made me ask, "What's the deal with that?"
Perhaps it's harmless and I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but it just doesn't seem right to me. If you are going to ask people to join your site I think it's fair to let users check on your pricing before they give you any information. To me, it's like asking for your name and address before letting you shop in a store: You'd ask why before giving out your personal information.
So, that's my beef and anyone should feel free to say that it's muc ado about nothing. Oh, and by the way, I did give them the info to check the price and it's no longer the $24.95 for two months of access as noted on TBP. Now, it's $24.95 for one month of access and $35 for two months, so I thought I'd pass that along.
Joanna Angel
Is It Worth the Price of Admission?
I am not a fan of tattooed girls in general since I think tats usually take away from the natural beauty of a woman. I don't say that to "diss" anyone who likes punk girls or anything in the goth genre. However, there are just some girls like
Liz Vicious
and Regan Reese who look good with numerous tats on different parts of their body (and I'm not counting girls who have the one tat above their asses which looks hot on many girls).
Another of those rare specimens (in my opinion) is
Joanna Angel
, and I was thrilled to see TBP note that she has her own personal site in addition to her
website which is very popular. Joanna is definitely unique and I'm hopefully that her site is as well, but on the tour I didn't see that much hardcore except for her giving some guy a blowjob and plenty of masturbation sequences.
So, if anyone is already a member I'd sure like to know the hardcore level on her personal site. If the content is decent then I'd be ok with the price of under $25 a month, but without some "in and out" I'm not sure I'd signup, not because I don't like Joanna posing and getting herself off, but because there are other sites out there I'd like to try. Any thoughts are welcome.
Naughty Bookworms
Is There Any Point?
I'm a big fan of "nerdy girls", so it stands to reason that I've kept my eye on this site. However, it seems pretty obvious from the tour that none of these girls are real nerds and are just your usual up and coming (no pun intended) young pornstars with glasses put on their face by the director. I'm pretty sure I'm fooling myself if I think otherwise, but figured I'd put that out there and see if anyone has experience with this site. A guy can be optimistic, right? ;)
Butt Jungle
Are They a Little Too "Cheap"?
I've had my eye on this site and a few others from the same company for some time, but I'm a little weary because they actually sound too inexpensive! This one seems to be the main site, with others being individual sites or on themes like matures. The photography looks very good and the video quality doesn't look too bad either, but then why are they only around $4.95 to $7.95 a month?
Certainly there are diamonds in the rough that turn out to be little gems and this one seems to have that potential, but if you check out the other sites from this group many seem to have similar themes and at least some overlap. Some are labelled as having hardcore sex by PU/TBP although I can't really tell from the tour if that is really the case. I'm definitely a lover of big girls with wide hips, but if it's mostly just close ups of their butts without any action I don't think it would be for me.
So, if anyone has any experience with this site or its affiliates I'd love to hear from you. I'll probably just dive in and see for myself since it won't set me back much, but other opinions are always good!
Alyssa Doll
Please, Tell Me It Isn't So!
I just signed up for this site with the trial membership which was verified by TBP to be full access. However, upon initial inspection I noticed that you can't download the photo sets in a zip file until you are a full member of the site. Now, I suppose it's strictly true that you still have access to all the site's content, but to me a full access trial refers not only to the content but also to the features available to full members.
It's certainly possible that this is a new development which TBP doesn't know about and, again, maybe they don't think a lack of zip downloads is really a big deal. They'd certainly have a point there, so any opinions on this are welcome. In any case, I thought it was worth reporting in case anyone feels the way I do. I know they just want to protect their content from those who do trial "hit and runs", but it does leave a bad taste in the mouth.
Claudia Marie
Is This What I've Been Looking For?
In my neverending search for sites featuring a short haired woman, I tend to get a bit too excited when I see one with her hair ever so slightly above the shoulders. That simple fact doesn't mean the videos will be good quality or that the photos won't be vidcaps. It just means it fills one of my niches and may or may not be a site worth joining.
That aside, this site does seem to have some things going for it. Caludia-Marie is very attractive and right there on that MILF line where she's got the great body but you still have a bit of trouble picturing her being anyone's Mom. However, when it comes to MILFs do you really care about her having kids? Probably not.
She's got big boobs which look real (although I'm not an expert...far from it), she's a blonde (not my favorite, but to be that picky would be stupid), and she sure likes to have sex. The only thing about the site is a high price tag without much content...yet, but I'd love to see a trial when it does.
So, while I probably won't be joining this one right away it'll definitely be going in my favorites list. And if anyone jumps in before I do, I'd sure like to see a review or even another comment. The search continues! ;)
Business, Pleasure, or Both?
I did a review of
yesterday and while I was there I checked out some of the girls who she has scenes with and more than a few have their own websites. This one caught my eye in particular and today I visited her site to take her tour. Like Carol,
has been operating her site for about a decade, making her among the original amateurs of the web. However, she appears to be more than just another pretty face.
Besides having her own personal website where she entertains her fans by having sex on camera with her boyfriend and numerous girlfriends,
operates a couples site, maintains a sex advice column, performs burlesque shows, writes sex stories, is a member of the Coalition for the Rights of Sex Workers, runs workshops on business plans for sex workers, and has climbed Mt. Everest three times!
Ok, that last one isn't true, but I think I've established that she's very active in the world of online porn and on top of all that she is a damn sexy woman. At this point you might wonder if she's paying me to say all this, but she's not. I just think she's hot and is now at the top of my list for sites I want to join. For me, there's nothing sexier than a woman with a brain that matches the level of her body.
The other good thing about her site: It's just $16.95 for a month which is a good deal if the inside matches the cover, but we all know that sometimes it really doesn't. If anyone is a member and already has some insight, I'd love to hear from you.
Our Long DRM Nightmare Is Finally Over!!
Whether it's getting frosty down in Satan's domain or the folks behind
just finally came to their senses, DRM has officially been banished by one of its most ardent supporters. I've been a member of the site with and without DRM and I can honestly say that there was absolutely no chance that I'd ever have joined again had they kept DRM. Why they thought this was a good idea in the first place is beyond me since the vast majority of users want to download their porn for that moment when the mood is right and the hard drive is ready to spin. ;)
It remains to be seen if this change will actually revitalize the site or return it to its former status as one of the top softcore sites on the internet that it was 10 years ago, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Personally, I think the return of Danni Ashe to operating the site would definitely accomplish that, but since that's not in the cards we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Wife Switch
Reality Rant
I don't mean to single out this site more than any other, but am I the only one who is tired of porn sites claiming that, unlike all the others, their reality site is actually real? They all sell it well at the beginning by saying, "We were tired of all those fake sites ourselves, so we decided to make something different." Then, when you head into the tour pages you immediately notice that the supposed "wife" in one of the episodes is a known pornstar!
It's possible no one else expects much integrity from a porn site and is very happy to just be provided with naked people having fun with their private parts, but I find this less than honest when presenting something where you have people paying money to view your product. Case in point: On the main page for this site we have two wives, one named Gianna, who just happens to be Gianna Michaels, pornstar extraordinaire! Maybe I'd let it slide if it was her actual husband, but from what I can tell she isn't even married!
Anyway, I'm probably making too much of this, but when you read, "Wintess
Real Couples
Try Swapping For The First Time!" you usually figure there's at least a small chance you'll witness real couples try swapping for the first time. Or is it just me? ;)
Now Showing Off Her Assets?
I'm not usually a fan of girls in their teens or early 20s since I prefer a more mature group, but in my never ending search for girls with short hair this site has stayed on my list for lack of much material in this genre. You'd be surprised how few girls there are with hair just to their shoulders let alone any shorter!
When I first put this site on my list she didn't even reveal her breasts in any of her picture shoots, but when I did a recent revisit of her tour I see that she has three blowjob videos but I still didn't see whether she's started doing fully nude sets. Although anything is possible, I can't say that I've ever seen a site where the girl gives head and doesn't show her chest!
So, if anyone has a report on that please let me know. She's definitely in the small breast genre which also usually isn't my thing, but as they say beggars can't be choosers. ;)
Wild Rose Network
Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts?
Last week I commented on a site that was part of a larger network and openly speculated as to whether a network that offered dozens of sites could truly have quality throughout. I've since joined one where I would easily answer, "No." and am now contemplating joining this one, the
Wild Rose Network
It bills itself as the only real amateur network where you get access to all the company's sites and most do appear to be interesting solo girl sites, but again I wonder if you can have too many sites on a network before the number gets too high and little attention is paid to making every site a good one. Certainly some go defunct for reasons other than being terrible, so I doubt any network is good across the board.
So, again I'm about to jump into the deep end of the pool not knowing what to expect and perhaps I'll be the first one here giving it a go. However, I always like to hear from anyone who has visited any of the sites. I am most excited about one in particular,
, but am trying not to get my hopes up. I spend a lot of time (much more than I should) looking for obscure sites, so I'm really looking for a good one here and the other network sites will just be a bonus if that one site is any good.

Graduate Special Topics in Computer Science
NOTE: for descriptions
of standard graduate computer science courses, see Graduate Course Descriptions.
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of computational finance
and explores various relations between computer science and finance. In
particular, the course will introduce both theoretical and practical aspects of
finance with an emphasis on the relation between real-life applications and
these concepts. The course will cover various issues such as high-frequency
market simulators and frameworks for performing statistical simulations.
Various financial instruments will also be discussed and modeled. Emphasis will
be put on efficiency and proper design. Object-oriented concepts will be
discussed and put to use in real life applications.
Prerequisites: Fundamental Algorithms, Programming Languages, background in
calculus and linear algebra.
Robotics has been expanding at a very fast pace in recent years. Several
companies now sell mobile robots to consumers for entertainment, surveillance,
maintenance, and other applications. Concurrently, robotic-like capabilities
are being integrated into traditional products such as cars,
vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers, etc. Over the next decades, intelligent domestic,
industrial, and military robots will become ubiquitous.
The course will consist mostly of hands-on sessions in which students will
write perception, reasoning, and control software for a variety of robot
platforms including wheeled autonomous mobile robots, robot manipulators, and
flying robots (helicopters). all with a variety of sensors such as cameras,
depth image sensors (e.g. Microsoft Kinect), and range finders. Some robots
will have on-board computers, while others will be controlled by a remote
computer. Student in small groups will implement high-level sensor processing,
learning, planning, and control software for various tasks, such as obstacle
avoidance, mapping, rescue operations, grasping, etc.Basic techniques reviewed
in the class will include sensor processing, vision, object detection,
recognition and tracking, motion estimation, obstacle detection, simultaneous
localization and mapping (SLAM), planning, and low-level control.
Students are expected to bring a laptop computer with Ubuntu Linux to class.
The course is open to graduate students in CS, Math, and Neursocience, and to a
small number of advanced undergraduates with the relevant background.
Prerequisite: either computer vision, machine learning, or AI, and a good math
background: at least calculus 3, plus linear algebra or scientific
Description: In this course, we study algorithmic and economic problems related
to the Internet search, online advertisement, social networks, and online
markets. We discuss important economic aspects: the ideas behind Internet ad
auctions, and the game theoretic analysis of self-interested agents interacting
over the Internet. We also cover the central algorithmic ideas behind the
large-scale analysis of the huge data sets supporting Internet search. Our goal
is to obtain a rigorous understanding of the properties of such environments
and explore these properties to solve data mining and optimization problems
emerging in these environments. The main areas include computational economics,
computational advertising, (social) network analysis, commerce applications,
and large-scale distributed computation.
Prerequisites: Fundamental algorithms or permission of the instructor. Also,
some knowledge of basic linear algebra and probability will be assumed.
This course introduces students to bioinformatics, which uses information
technology to store, annotate, retrieve and analyze biological information.
Genome‐scale sequencing projects have led to an explosion of genetic sequences
available for automated analysis. These gene sequences are the codes that
direct the production of proteins that in turn regulate all life processes.
Students will be shown how these sequences can lead to a much fuller
understanding of many biological processes important to pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries: e.g., to determine new drug targets or to predict if
particular drugs are applicable to all patients. Basic concepts behind
bioinformatics and computational biology tools, algorithms and data structures
will be discussed. Hands‐on sessions will familiarize students with the details
and use of the most commonly used online tools and resources.
In this course, students learn to develop production quality software. Lectures
present real-world development practices that maximize software correctness and
minimize development time. A special emphasis is placed on increasing
proficiency in a particular programming language by doing weekly development
projects and participating in code reviews. Assignments become more
sophisticated as the semester progresses, eventually incorporating unit tests,
build scripts, design patterns, and other techniques. The course culminates
with an assignment that requires students to contribute to an open-source
project of their choice.
A graphical model is a probabilistic model, where the conditional dependencies
between the random variables is specified via a graph. Graphical models provide
a flexible framework for modeling large collections of variables with complex
interactions, as evidenced by their wide domain of application, including for
example machine learning, computer vision, speech and computational biology.
This course will provide a comprehensive survey of learning and inference
methods in graphical models.
Prerequisites: This is a graduate-level course. Students should previously have
taken one of the following classes:
This course covers numerous topics related to random graphs, including
generalized randomized structures, random processes, probabilistic methods and
Erdös Magic. Also covered are branching processes, phase transitions for large
random evolutions, derandomization via conditional expectations and
semidefinite programming derandomization techniques. Algorithms, probability
and discrete mathematics all appear, but concepts will be defined from scratch.
Emphasis will be on methods of asymptotic calculation.
The course will teach how to develop online casual multiplayer games using
technologies such as DHTML, JSON, AJAX, long-polling, HTML5, GWT, AppEngine,
etc. The students will collaboratively build a social and mobile applications
serving these games. The games will be social, viral and integrate with
facebook/google+/mobile feeds, notifications, invites, credits, user info, etc.
The course will also teach about ranking systems, leaderboards, tournaments,
building artificial-intelligence for games, realtime and turn-based games,
location awareness, and advanced user-interface such as touch screen. (The
course will not concern with 3D graphics, animations, or sounds.)
Pre-requisite: Java (knowing Internet or databases is an advantage, but not required)
Overview of computer animation techniques. Topics: traditional principles of
animation, physical simulation, procedural methods, and motion capture based
animation. Focus is on computer science aspects of animation. The basics
including kinematic and dynamic modeling techniques; exploration of current
research topics such as motion re-targeting, learning movements and behaviors,
and video based modeling and animation). Hands-on animation experience through
class projects.
The study of computer games offers a unique opportunity to bring together many
complementary computer science sub-fields and techniques and to observe how
these work together. This course will cover computer science topics involved in
the creation of computer games, including accelerated graphical rendering of
simulated natural phenomena, concurrent programming, digital audio synthesis,
forward and inverse dynamics, multi-level object representations, real time
animation and modeling, scientific visualization and scripting interfaces.
Students will also be exposed to elements essential to the experience of
designing and implementing games, such as the visual, storytelling, and sound
design elements of games.
Software continues to pervade our lives and is now routinely deployed in safety
and security critical systems. While this technological advancement greatly
benefits society it also
creates a new threat: software failures with severe consequences, such as
health hazards and financial repercussions. How can one ensure that software
works reliably? Program Verification is the area of computer science that
studies mathematical methods to answer this question. In the
last decade, Program Verification has brought forth sophisticated tools that
assist software engineers in building reliable software. In this course, we
will explore these tools. We will learn how they are used to enable rigorous
software development, and we will study the algorithms that work under their
hoods. The course will be accompanied by programming projects making use of
these tools.
This course will examine the architecture and capabilities of modern GPUs
(graphics processing
unit). Many computations can be performed faster on the GPU than on a
traditional CPU. This is
why GPUs are present now in almost all computers; and the majority of Top 500
in the world are built around GPUs. GPUs are now used for a diverse set of
applications not only
traditional graphics applications; which introduces the concept of
general-purpose GPUs or
GPGPUs. In this course, we will cover architectural aspects of modern GPUs. We
will also learn how to program GPUs to solve different type of problems.
Prerequisites: CSCI-GA 1170 Fundamental Algorithms, CSCI-GA 2110 Programming
Social Networks is a specific example of many forms of networks that have
become ubiquitous in our modern society. The World Wide Web enables information
flows among vast number of humans; facebook, orkut, friendster, diaspora, etc.
connect small groups of friends; amazon, ebay, etc. provide opportunities for
trading, etc. These networks determine our information, influence our opinions,
and shape our political attitudes.
This course will introduce the tools for the study of networks. It will show
how certain common principles permeate the functioning of these diverse
networks: e.g., issues related to robustness, fragility, and interlinkages etc.
This course takes an in-depth look into the the design, implementation, theory,
and use of object oriented programming languages. Possible topics include:
inheritance, polymorphism, generics, and modules; implementation techniques for
object oriented languages in unmanaged and managed code platforms (e.g. C++ and
Java, respectively); object oriented functional languages (e.g. Ocaml and
Scala) and their use in industry; object oriented design and modeling;
concurrent object oriented languages; and formal type systems for object
oriented languages. Substantial programming projects in a number of different
languages, as well as occasional homework, will be assigned.
Prerequisite: Programming Languages (CSCI-GA.2110)

Martian Time-Slipby Philip K Dick
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"The writing is humorous, painful, awesome in its effect on both mind and heart . . . There are few modern novels to match it."—Rolling Stone On an arid Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the UN develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. In the hopes of gaining an advantage on a Martian real estate deal, powerful people force Manfred to send them into the future, where they can learn about development plans. But is Manfred sending them to the real future or one colored by his own dark and paranoid filter? As the time travelers are drawn into Manfred's dark worldview in both the future and present, the cost of doing business may drive them all insane.
Mars is not a happy place—a planet for exiles, drifters, and psychics, who would otherwise be executed. One such psychic is a ten-year-old boy named Manfred, a boy so powerful he not only looks into the future, but can send people there. But with the turbulent politics of Mars, that future might not be any better than the present. This twisty novel from Philip K. Dick is combines political intrigue, time travel, family drama, and all the perils that come with being the first at anything.
Combining aliens, time travel, and interplanetary real estate scams, Martian Time-Slip may just be the quintessential Philip K. Dick novel. On an arid Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the UN develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. But is he seeing the future as it will be or is he seeing it through his own dark and paranoid filter? When Manfred begins sending other people traveling through time, the answer to this question just might mean the difference between success or insanity.
About the Author

In 2008, two years before he announced his retirement, Justice Stevens reversed course and in a concurrence said that he now believed the death penalty to be unconstitutional. But the reason for that change of heart, after more than three decades on the court and some 1,100 executions, has in many ways remained a mystery, and now Justice Stevens has provided an explanation.
In a detailed, candid and critical essay to be published this week in The New York Review of Books, he wrote that personnel changes on the court, coupled with "regrettable judicial activism," had created a system of capital punishment that is shot through with racism, skewed toward conviction, infected with politics and tinged with hysteria.
TPJ: Stevens is one of the smartest and best supreme court justice that America has ever seen. So, it makes it all the more compelling that he is taking such a strong stand against capital punishment. If justices of the Supreme Court who rule on legality are changing their mind on the death penalty then clearly it is something that American society and Congress need to address. It is barbaric that in such a supposedly civilized country as the U.S. that people are still being killed by the state.
Especially when errors of conviction are occurring all the time. DNA evidence releases a handful of innocent people each year. Everyone talks about being "Pro Life" but then they often support the death penalty!! If "God" is to be the ultimate judge then why do so many people of religious belief still back-up this archaic form of punishment. It seems to me that a killing a prisoner is giving them an easy way out of facing their consequences. Let them sit in prison and think about the crimes that they have committed and the freedom they have lost.
Lock them away so that they never get out--ever. No parole, no nothing but confinement. However, taking the life of another isn't something we should be doing except in extreme cases like wars, self-defense and law enforcement. Every other industrialized, democratic country in the world has outlawed the death penalty except puritanical, America. The only countries besides America who keep it are places like China, Iran and North Korea!!
Finally think about this, "Why do we kill people to show society that killing is wrong?" Isn't that like cutting off your nose to spite your face?

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
The role Christ as ordained to offer sacrifice and prayer for humanity to his heavenly Father. His ordination or anointing to the office of high priest took place at the moment of the Incarnation, i.e., at the moment when the Word of God assumed human flesh in the womb of Mary. During his life on earth Christ exercised his priestly office by all the acts of his will, and then at the Last Supper and on Calvary he united all these mortal acts into one supreme sacrifice to the Father. Along with the sacrifice, Christ also prays as a priest, notably when he instituted the Eucharist and in the sacerdotal prayer recorded by St. John (17:1-26). Moreover, Christ's priesthood continues everlastingly in heaven, as revealed in the Letter to the Hebrews. Regarding the manner in which he exercises his eternal priesthood, revelation merely says: "He is always making intercession for us" (Hebrews 7:25; Romans 8:34), which is a truly sacerdotal function because, as St. Paul affirms, it bears an intimate relation to the sacrifice of the Cross. In fact, Christ's continuing priesthood is the basis in faith for the existence and efficacy of the sacrifice of the Mass.

|Fox To Have Heart Surgery
|Written by Staff Reports
|Sunday, 03 November 2013 08:39
Patrick Smyth, the Director of Media Relations for the Denver Broncos, says Broncos head coach John Fox will have heart value surgery and could be out for two months. According to Smyth and multiple reports, the surgery is for a condition Fox was all ready aware of.
Smyth released a statement on Saturday afternoon that Fox did not suffer a heart attack. He was taken to a Charlotte-area hospital after he became light-headed while playing golf.
Fox was kept in the hospital for testing and observation. It was reported earlier Saturday that Fox had reportedly been taken to a Charlotte-area hospital with symptoms of a heart attack. There are reports that Fox was golfing in Charlotte this weekend while the Broncos are on their bye week. Fox was taken by ambulance from the golf course to the hospital.
The 58-year-old Fox has been a football coach for his entire adult life and an NFL head coach for the last 12 years. Fox does not have a history of significant health problems.
Fox was the head coach of the Carolina Panthers from 2002-10 before he was fired. He led the Panthers to Super Bowl XXXVIII, where they lost to the New England Patriots in 2003.
Fox has the 7-1 Broncos, who have a bye week this week, off to a 7-1 start. They're currently one game behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. The Broncos play at San Diego on November 10.
