Manager (Julian) has no pride in his work
by Chris Carmody , 04/27/2011
I work part time for a shop in Vegas that farms out printing. We sent a business package (Letterhead, envelope and business cards) to them, and the color came bad, and the graphics where horrible. The letterhead looked good and the logo was gray and green as it was supposed to be. The envelope and business cards, however, were a different story. The gray came out dark blue, and the green was splotchy and way to dark. When I told Julian over the phone that the colors were off, he said he would do nothing about it. I asked him to hold while I relayed this information to my boss and he hung up. Very professional!I guess he thought about it, and finally stopped by the shop. He could give no answer for the color discrepancy and when I asked for an apology for hanging up on me, he said "You ain't getting one!", then asked me if I wanted to step outside. This is one classless individual!I know several print shop owners in the Vegas area, and will be sure to tell them not use this shop.

Totally agree with the last person to comment. This shop may be cheaper than other places but if you want things done professionally, correctly and remotely on time you had best go anywhere else. I ordered some materals and they were forgotten for almost two weeks and when I finally go into the shop to ask about it in person, they tried to triple the prices I had previously paid. Then when I asked about printing less volume since I was on a time frame and getting desperate, they said they didn't want to do the job anymore. I made an extra effort to be very nice and polite and they were nothing but rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional. Beware!
Bad Print Job with Horrible Designs
by Debbie Knowles , 10/13/2009
I went to this print shop expecting great quality but I guess for the prices they have I'd rather pay extra to make my stuff look better. First I went in and met a rude lady with a bad attitude. She told me my design would be done the next day and I didnt hear from her for 5 days. Finally I see the design and it's horrific. This design looks like it took her 5 mins.I needed these asap so the guy assured me they would be done the same day for the design taking so long. I come back 10 mins before close time and they come up with some B.S. about they ran into problems and wont be able to print it. I never got a call back until 3 days later I showed up and asked for a refund. The manager was called up and he told me I couldnt get my money back so I left furious without my cards, design, or my money back. If you want horrible service and horrible people than this is your printshop. From now on I'm ordering my cards through online service or freelance. Forms and More Print shop is horrib

Maryport ready for stern Cumberland Cup semi-final test
Last updated at 12:27, Friday, 22 June 2012
Maryport reckon they have been handed the toughest possible route in to the Cumberland Cup final – and anyone who has seen semi-final opponents Kells of late won't be arguing.
Kells warmed up for tomorrow's meeting with a 14-try demolition of old rivals Hensingham on Wednesday night, to extend their lead at the top of Division One to three points, ahead of Seaton, after 12 games.
And after suffering a heavy defeat at Kells earlier this term, just a few games in to new coach Gary Murdock's tenure, they know the size of the task.
"We couldn't get a tougher draw, it was probably the one no one wanted," said Maryport secretary Paul Williamson. "But in a cup competition, you have to play the best at some point."
Kells will not be taking Maryport for granted as they have looked stronger this season than for several years and lie third in the table, just two points behind Seaton, who have a game in hand. Their only defeats this term have been against top four rivals.
"We are competing with the top four," Williamson added. "It's due to discipline and organisation.
"Because of the light nights, we are getting steady numbers in training. Gary has had that luxury, which our previous coaches didn't have. And we have also been strengthened by some lads coming in from rugby union in their off season."
Maryport will be without the injured Mark Foster and Mark Lister, who is on holiday.
Glasson travel to mid-table rivals Cockermouth in the second semi-final, which could be a close-run affair.
Distington could take advantage of Maryport's absence from league action to move in to third place in Division One. But to move up they must take at least a point at Seaton, who have lost only twice in the league this term.
Wath Brow showed their battling qualities last week when overturning a 12-8 half-time deficit to beat fancied visitors Ince Rose Bridge 18-16.
And they can maintain their top four place in the National Conference Premier Division with a home win over relegation-threatened Oulton tomorrow.

There was a general economic boom in Europe from the end of the fifteenth century until the 1620s. Many factors contributed to this development, above all a larger population which necessitated increased production to cover growing demands; extension of markets by overseas expansion; and widening and intensification of marketing systems within Europe with increased traffic in the Atlantic and Baltic. Prices moved continually upwards to meet growing demands, especially from about 1510 onwards. A second wave of increases began in about 1550 but this affected parts of Europe differently. Price increases were acutest in the precious-metal-producing areas of central Europe and in the bullion-importing regions of Iberia. Increases in the money supply came at the same time as general population growth, so that pressure on existing resources was doubled. Within a hundred years of 1520 silver production had increased fourfold, although gold production was more modest. The economy of Spain was unable to exploit the stream of precious metals from America, and the chief benefits went to bankers in the low countries, north Italy and south Germany, leaving Iberia with the greatest price rises, followed by France, the Netherlands and Italy.
Price rises did not affect all goods equally. The greatest increase was noticeable in grain prices, which rose well beyond those of meat and fish. Recent research has shown that apart from changes in the influx of bullion, other factors such as population increases, mobility and exchange of goods, together with displacement of population because of political, military and religious factors all led to overall economic growth, albeit uneven, in sixteenth-century Europe.
In 1568 Jean Bodin, in his famous reply to the arguments of Malestroit, tackled the problem of price increases by pointing

Craig MacTavish walks into the restaurant to meet for an interview and apologizes for being late. The meeting was scheduled for 9:15 a.m. It's now 9:17.
He's wasted exactly two minutes of a reporter's time, not exactly earth-shattering, and not something most people would even notice. But MacTavish isn't most people, it seems.
When he enters, people in the restaurant turn to look at him, but MacTavish appears unaffected by the attention. His attitude makes sense, of course, for no one could survive for so many years through the relentless cacophony and the blistering criticism that surrounds Edmonton Oilers hockey unless they had a strong sense of themselves and their mission, one that allowed them to tune out anything unimportant, from the curiosity of bystanders to the raging commentary of the talk shows and blogo-sphere.
This new hockey season, starting Thursday against the San Jose Sharks, just like every other season in his now-lengthy tenure as the Oilers head coach, MacTavish will invariably face a spell when the team does poorly or his decisions mystify many fans. This will, in turn, provoke many fans -- GMs-in-waiting in their own minds -- to state with great authority that MacT has lost the team and for the good of the franchise must be replaced.
But just as MacTavish pays no heed to the curious in the restaurant, he will endeavour to tune out this talk, not because he is so full of himself that he feels he's above the opinions of others, but because he knows how much criticism can sting, even if it's unfounded and malicious, and how counterproductive it can be to get wrapped up in it. "I don't listen to that (fan criticism), because it affects you," he says.
"I very seldom ever read the paper because it affects you. ... I don't want to hear it. For what value? I've heard it from time to time and I don't very often get a good idea," he says, and smiles.
Managing the endless drama and conflict around the Oilers, putting it in its proper place, not over-reacting, is essential if he is to do his job well, he has come to realize.
"There's a lot of conflict. ... There's always something going on. The perfect combination I find is when you're arguing with your wife because you're never around, and the players hate you because you're too difficult, and the management thinks you're incompetent because you're too soft. That's the coaching trifecta right there."
Fans know him as MacT, friends as Mac. He is a former Oilers team captain, the second longest serving Oilers coach in his seventh season, the current holder of the Oilers flame, and one of the most recognizable men in Edmonton. He's 49 years old now, with a full head of grey hair, but a youthful face and the fit, lanky build of an athlete.
Part of his local fame, with female fans at least, derives from his looks. Readers of the website Hot-Oil.blogspot.com recently voted him as the hottest Oiler in team history, dubbing him the Silver Fox. "Not only is he hot, he has the best vocabulary -- you'll always learn a new word listening to him (and oh, what a voice)," said one smitten fan.
"MacT has a George Clooney-esque deliciousness about him," wrote another.
MacTavish has his male admirers as well, but they focus on his character, namely his integrity and loyalty.
"If you can't have a good time with Mac, you're the problem," says Hockey Night in Canada analyst Craig Simpson, MacTavish's former teammate and assistant coach. "In many ways, he's a man's man. ... The guys know where they stand with him. He's honest. He's witty. He's got a great sense of humour. He's very sharp with the verbal wit.
"Mac can do whatever he sets his mind to do," Simpson continues. "He's got that capability. He's got that mental discipline. ... He's got a winner's attitude. He was a guy who would pretty selflessly do whatever it would take for the team to have success.
"He's not worried about the accolades to him. We all have our egos, and part of what drives us to success is our ego. But as a teammate and as a coach, he's as conscious or worried about how other people are being treated, how other people have success or are being recognized for success, and there's not a lot of people in the world of hockey who you would necessarily say that honestly about."
Most of all, Simpson values MacTavish's friendship. "He's just a helluva friend. Of all the guys we played with, Mac was always the organizer, always making sure guys did things that were fun together, always making things happen, and if you had a problem or needed anything, that's the guy you could trust with your life."
All the MacT-haters of the world -- and they're out there -- will be rankled by Simpson's praise, but whatever the merit of Simpson's take on MacTavish, it's indicative of the fierce loyalty that grew out of the success of the 1980s Oilers squads.
In many ways MacTavish was a perfect fit for those close-knit championship teams. He always valued the team. He was a good but not great hockey player as a teen, not talented enough to make the top junior league in Canada, but skilled enough to win a scholarship at a Division II American hockey program, the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. He worked hard at Lowell, and was the first player on the ice before every practice, says his old coach, Billy Riley.
Young MacTavish quickly became a big, strong and dominating force in college hockey, and also a team leader. In one exhibition game against Northeastern, the opposition was getting rough and nasty, so Riley told his players to get tough in return. MacTavish took the message to heart. At the beginning of the third period, after a fracas near the Northeastern bench, Riley looked out to see MacTavish challenging the entire Northeastern bench to a fight.
MacTavish's character helped him get through the most distressing time of his life, which came after he was drinking at a bar on Jan. 29, 1984, then drove home, colliding with another car on his way, killing that car's driver, 26-year-old Kim Radley.
At the time MacTavish had moved up from the college ranks and was a promising 26-year-old forward on the Boston Bruins. He pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and spent a full year in jail, the first few months in a small cell with a pail for a toilet.
The Oilers were the first of four teams to approach him in jail about resuming his NHL career, and Boston let him go without compensation so he could start his life again in a new setting.
MacTavish paid for his crime, not only by doing time, but by speaking at numerous schools about the dangers of drunk driving and by serving as the honorary chairman of Edmonton's CheckStop anti-drunk-driving program.
He also forged a bond with Kim Radley's parents, Ron and Hazel Foote. They visited MacTavish in jail and forgave him for his crime. Out of this visit came a relationship that has lasted to this day, with Hazel still sending a card to MacTavish on his birthday. "I have a great deal of respect for Craig MacTavish," she says. "He was a young man who made a tragic mistake and was extremely sorry for it. I regard him very highly."
MacTavish joined the Oilers in 1985 and quickly became an integral part of the squad. While coach Glen Sather provided alpha-male-style leadership, the real strength of the team was its internal accountability, says MacTavish's teammate, Craig Muni, now a Buffalo real estate developer.
Whatever pressure that the fans put on, or even the coaches put on, was secondary to the pressure each player felt not to let down his teammates, Muni says, and MacTavish was a big part of that. "There was never any quit in him. He never gave up. He would never let his teammates give up. He was always pushing forward and trying to push the guys.
"Everything was handled in-house. ... If someone didn't like something, we'd have a closed-door meeting just with the players and get things straightened out."
With those Oilers, winning the Stanley Cup was expected, but that meant everyone had to play at full tilt and be accountable to the others if they failed, even the superstars, Muni says. "In the playoffs, the superstar has to be the superstar, and everyone else has to follow suit."
On a lesser team, MacTavish might well have picked up a lot of goals and assists, Muni says, but his role on the Oilers was as a penalty killer and checker, known for his ability to win faceoffs and his knack for ragging the puck. As The Journal's Jim Matheson put it in April 1988, MacTavish was like "the quiet, dependable grunt in the company, the guy who always climbs out of the foxholes. The ideal foot soldier."
Added coach Ted Green: "I don't think you can ever judge MacT on numbers. If we did that it would be an injustice. He runs himself dry killing penalties."
And ex-owner Peter Pocklington: "MacT is like a junkyard dog out there."
MacTavish says he aspired to be a top-line player when he entered the NHL, but quickly accepted his job description in Edmonton. "It's a great role. I loved it. I loved the defensive side of it, and it's trying to fill a need on your team as best you can."
In Edmonton, MacTavish was able to study some of the world's best players up close; he learned much about the role of confidence in ice hockey success. The great players didn't necessarily work any harder than their less-accomplished teammates, he realized, but they were more self-confident.
In hockey, bad things happen to every player in a game, but players with high self-esteem are more able to shake off their mistakes and misfortunes and continue to push themselves and perform at a high level, he says. "Work ethic is a big part of it, but it's just a part of it; you have to have the mental skills to play the game. ... At the NHL level, the biggest key is having a good head."
MacTavish believes he was an inconsistent player, perhaps an odd conclusion for someone who logged 518 straight games, and did so as the last helmetless player in the NHL. But MacTavish often struggled to score, once going on a 41-game stretch where he notched only two goals.
"At times, I struggled with confidence, and that was probably the biggest weakness. But that really is the cycle of the 20-goal scorer. At times you look like a 40-goal scorer and at other times you look like a five-goal scorer."
MacTavish has no shortage of such players on the current Oilers roster, and his past struggles as a player give him some insight into how he should coach them. If they're not working hard, he gets after them, he says, but if they're taking extra practice and doing extra fitness training, he is keen to support them fully. "If I see that as a coach, the player has an ally."
In his final two years in an Oilers uniform, 1992-94, MacTavish was captain of a weakened squad depleted by player trades and sales. The team started to lose regularly, and while MacTavish felt some frustration, he tried to lead in a calm, professional manner, which the young players appreciated. "Win or lose, he's got a happy face and hello for you the next day," said defenceman Luke Richardson, then 22.
As Mark Messier once said of MacTavish, "All those years in Edmonton, he was a calming influence on us."
By then, MacTavish had made up his mind that he wanted to coach in the NHL once he retired. "I just love hockey," he says. "It's all I really ever knew and I wanted to give coaching a go."
He believed he had seen an ideal coaching staff in Edmonton in the charismatic Sather and his assistants, John Muckler, a technical expert, and Ted Green, a heart-and-soul guy, and he's worked hard with his own staff to replicate the continuity and unity of the Edmonton group, with Billy Moores and Charlie Huddy his stalwart assistants.
Sather saw MacTavish as a future coach as well. In MacTavish's final playing contract with the Oilers, Sather put in a clause that once MacTavish retired, he would immediately move to the team's coaching ranks.
In March 1994, Sather offered him the chance to leave the Oilers for a playoff-bound squad. MacTavish jumped, heading to New York in a trade for Todd Marchant. In New York, MacTavish roomed with another ex-Oiler, Kevin Lowe, and the two helped lead the Rangers to a Stanley Cup victory, MacTavish's fourth and the Rangers' first in 54 years. At the same time, both MacTavish and Lowe were planning for the future; the roommates promised each other that after their playing days were over, when one of them got a job as an NHL coach or GM, they would hire the other guy.
After the 1994 season, Sather offered MacTavish a chance to be the Oilers head coach, but he turned it down, opting to keep playing. His final three years, when he was a marginal player, were by far the highest paying of his career, earning him almost as much in salary in those three years, $2 million in total, as he had made in the rest of his career.
"I'm glad I didn't do it," MacTavish says of that first offer to coach. "I was still making pretty good money as a player, actually more money than I ever had made before, and I kept telling Glen I would be a better coach if I had more money in the bank."
In his final seasons, MacTavish watched his coaches all the more closely, looking for strategies that worked and recognizing ones that didn't, such as the way Mike Keenan, MacTavish's coach in New York and St. Louis, handled losing.
Keenan, the new coach of the Calgary Flames, can bring a lot of energy and leadership to a practice or on the bench, but he sometimes let his hatred of losing get the best of him, MacTavish says. "Sometimes yesterday's loss would seep into the next game.
"His biggest weakness was his inability -- and it might be his biggest strength -- to rationalize defeat. ... It's hockey, and there are times as a team that you play well and you lose, and he had a hard time differentiating that from the times that you played poorly and lost."
A negative atmosphere would pervade, with the coach ripping into players. "I hated that as a player, just the negative energy, like everybody is walking on egg shells. You can't prepare for a game like that."
MacTavish recognizes it's important to dig into why his team lost, and confront players if their effort and focus have been lacking, but it's crucial for a team like the Oilers to move on. "We need high energy to play the game well, and if the players are down, or they've been beaten down a lot, we're not going to be as effective as we could be if we're energized."
Persuading his players, rather than dictating to them, is his preference, he says. "I haven't had any success making anybody do anything. I've had success convincing people that it's the right thing to do for them, and if they believe it, then we can have some success."
In his final playing seasons, MacTavish also learned the benefits of off-ice training himself. He started to do heavy workouts when he was 32, and he feels it allowed him to keep playing until he was 37. He sees that same commitment to fitness in many of his own players. "(Shawn) Horcoff, (Jarret) Stoll, (Steve) Staios, (Ethan) Moreau, those guys are in the top two per cent in terms of fitness and dedication in the game."
When MacTavish retired in 1997 after playing 1,097 regular season and 193 playoff games, Sather helped him get a job as an assistant coach in New York. Two years later, in 1999, Lowe hired MacTavish as his assistant coach in Edmonton.
Edmonton is a great place for his wife, Debbie, and their three children, he says, and the London, Ont., native has many good friends here. "I've been out here since 1985 and have my Western papers. I totally am a Westerner now in heart and in mind."
The following summer, after Sather left for New York and Lowe was promoted in his place, MacTavish took over as coach.
MacTavish had been itching to be a head coach, and was sure he was ready for the task, but now says he found the job harder than expected. For one thing, when he had to demote or trade a player, some of them loyal and self-sacrificing Oilers, he found it hard, and he continues to. For instance, this summer, he and Lowe had to phone captain Jason Smith to tell him he had been traded to Philadelphia.
"We were upset," MacTavish says. "But it's not all about taking the path of least resistance, either. At times as a manager and as a coach, you have to do things you really don't want to do for the betterment of the team."
Many key veterans were upset to see Smith go, but MacTavish says the decision was made for the good of the group. "If the players see that you're not going to do the difficult thing, how do you expect them to do the difficult thing? You have to be a leader in that regard, and you have to make difficult decisions, even if they don't like them."
Another issue for the newly minted Oilers coach was losing. His initial Oilers squads weren't blessed with overwhelming talent and tended to lose as many as they won. As a player, MacTavish had often been able to feel good about himself even in defeat, if he felt he had truly done his job. There was no such consolation in coaching. "As a coach, you can't take anything out of the loss. ... You take them harder."
Rumour had it that MacTavish was too much of a taskmaster early on. In November 2002, New York Post columnist Larry Brooks wrote that "plugged in" sources were telling him: "Edmonton players have all but revolted against MacTavish, the supposed players' coach, who can't seem to bring his voice down when attempting to communicate with his club. We're told his young team has tuned out MacTavish."
Lowe responded to the rumours, saying they were ridiculous, but MacTavish now says he did have to learn how to be less demanding.
In his early days, he wanted everybody to be perfect, and he found he got wrapped up in negative thoughts when they weren't. "When you lose, everybody is coming down, and you're not looking at a lot of positives, you're picking every player apart, and you can be so shortsighted there.
"Everybody has weaknesses, and the tendency is, as a coach, you know your players so well, inside and out from spending so much time, and a lot of times familiarity breeds contempt.
"I think I'm more patient with players now. ... As a coach you can't let players settle for less than they're capable of, but don't expect more than they're capable of.
"The players may disagree, but I think I have pretty good perspective, and I'm pretty tolerant of individual shortcomings, because I have plenty, and everybody has their issues."
Says Simpson: "He's very conscious of the fragile psyche of certain players."
MacTavish's new-found perspective helped last season, when the team lost almost all of its games in March and April. MacTavish says he weathered it well because he tried to have realistic expectations about his inexperienced, injury-depleted squad. "I think you can do a lot of damage in that situation, just expecting too much from what you have, and putting too much pressure on guys to perform above the level of what they're capable of. It destroys their confidence, makes them worse."
Only a few times, when he felt the commitment was lacking, did he roast his team. "When you go in as a coach and rip your team, it works only because they know you're right. If they don't believe it, if you're wrong, it doesn't work."
He works at not blowing mistakes out of proportion. "You've got to analyze the issue and make sure you're not overreacting. Because I think everybody's inclination is to overreact. So unless it is concrete I will think about it and sleep on it, and maybe have a different perspective on it the next morning."
Of course, if he needs to put his foot down he will do it, he says. "Very seldom do you ignore things and they go away. You have to confront them."
MacTavish's strength is dealing with issues at the right time, behind closed doors, not during a game, when it's counterproductive to blow up, Simpson says. "He's upfront and he's got great integrity, so if there is a problem he's not going to be phoney around you pretending there isn't. I think a real talent of his is to not let it fester."
A key learning moment for MacTavish came during the lockout year of 2004-05, when he assisted in coaching Team Canada at the World Championships. The squad had such stars as Joe Thornton, Rick Nash and Wade Redden.
Up close, MacTavish saw that these players, too, had flaws. "You always get seduced by other teams' players, because you don't know them well enough to pick apart every weakness they have, and then when you're over there coaching them you realize they all have their weaknesses. There are not too many perfect players. Maybe 10 perfect players in the game."
MacTavish carried his ever-increasing belief in positive thinking into the next NHL campaign, 2005-06. The Oilers were only an average hockey team during the regular season, and just squeaked into the playoffs, but MacTavish finally had that rare perfect player in superstar Chris Pronger who could lead a team to the Stanley Cup, if only he and everyone else lived up to their potential.
Before the playoffs, MacTavish and his assistants set the stage. First, they made a pact that they would keep things positive with the players, pushing them hard to stick to the game plan, but never criticizing them in public. MacTavish also stressed to his players the need to quickly beat Detroit, the top regular season team in the division, Simpson says.
"It turned the guys' heads and got them focused on, 'Hey, the coach feels we're going to win.' It's not a situation of just trying to compete. It's, 'Let's get rid of them early so we don't allow them to get into the series.' "
MacTavish's final strategy was to have the Oilers play a defensive trap to frustrate the highly skilled Wings, funnelling them into the boards. In the end, the Oilers won the series in six games. MacTavish's strategies had evidently paid off. At the time, team leader Ethan Moreau said: "Even if you're not 100-per-cent sold, you think, 'Well, these guys have done it, let's try it,' and it has worked."
Pronger appreciated MacTavish's professionalism. "He's been there enough times that he understands how he needs to be back there so guys aren't rattled on the bench or taking things too far."
MacTavish's experience as a player came through in the playoff run; he made sure his team didn't get overwhelmed by too much hockey. One day in San Jose, rather than practise, he took the team for lunch at an oceanside restaurant. In Anaheim, he made sure the team stayed at an oceanside hotel so they could go for peaceful walks on the beach.
"You know we had some fun, and you don't want to regret the journey," MacTavish says. "You learn that from playing, too. You get too wrapped up in the day-to-day monotony and difficulty of playing in the Stanley Cup. It's tough as a player, and I remember that, so I try to give our players some mental breaks, more than physical breaks.
"It makes them more resilient as a player than if you confine them to an area and just feed hockey to them. You've got to give them some room to get recharged mentally.
"I know I needed it as a player, and I knew our team needed it. So we were pretty fresh. Otherwise we would never have had the mental strength to come back from being down 3-1 in the final."
While the Oilers ultimately lost the Cup, the success of that playoff run helped MacTavish's own confidence. Before then, he always wondered if perhaps some other coach might have got more out of the 2000-2004 Oilers squads. "You have to have success to really reinforce the behaviour, to positively reinforce what you're doing."
After the playoff run, MacTavish signed a new four-year deal. It was his third contract with Lowe, but none of them have been easy to negotiate. It may well be more difficult to negotiate with a friend than a stranger, he says.
"There's a perception that Kevin sits down and cooks up things, but that's very far from the truth. ... I hate doing that part of it."
That said, MacTavish appreciates Lowe's support. "The job is very difficult and I can't imagine how much more difficult it would be if you didn't have the support of the management."
Lowe has consistently praised MacTavish's leadership skills. "When he finally did have the right players a few years ago, he went to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, and you can't do that with mirrors. I think we justified our patience."
MacTavish and Lowe remain close friends, but their relationship has become "more professional," as MacTavish puts it.
Says Lowe: "We went from being focused, conscientious teammates trying to win hockey games to now being associates trying to run a major company. ... In a manager/coach relationship, you can be in situations where it gets contentious, but we both have so much respect for one another that we appreciate what one another is going through."
Last season proved to be a debacle, with Pronger leaving the team over his wife's unhappiness and Ryan Smyth leaving because of a money squabble. But this pre-season, with Oilers fans buzzing about new players such as Dustin Penner, Sheldon Souray, Andrew Cogliano, Joni Pitkanen and Sam Gagner, the names of Pronger and Smyth have rarely been spoken. The goal, again, is to win the Stanley Cup.
"We're not that far way," MacTavish says. "We always believed that, since Kevin was here and I was here, we always believed we weren't that far away, but you need stars to win. You can't win without stars."
MacTavish sees star quality in 18-year-old Gagner, though the kid may be a year or two away, he says.
MacTavish is up for the challenge of developing Gagner and the other young players. "I enjoy it," he says. "There are great challenges to coaching. We all would love to have a team that got 115 points every year, and then have some fun, but we're still in the stage of trying to develop that. We want to get a good team, because there is no enjoyment in losing."
Simpson expects to see MacTavish coaching for some time.
"It's who he is, it's what he is. He's a hockey mind. He loves the game, loves being around it, loves being on the plane, loves being on the bus, loves going to the rink, loves lacing up the skates. He's going to have a hard time not doing it at some point in his life."

"Were these cases of Germans behaving according to type as Germans? Or scientists in Germany behaving according to type as scientists?"
These chilling questions encompass two more specific points. First, did the scientists who developed poison gas weapons and concentration camps do it for scientific, personal, or political purposes? Second, can scientists claim to remain objective when funded by, and working for, military or government entities? Cornwell, whose last book was Hitler's Pope, takes a hard line against those scientists who stayed and helped the Nazis after Jewish scientists were expelled and Hitler's plans became clear. With the weight of evidence, Cornwell lays flat the various personal reasons the scientists gave for their actions during the war and shows that even before World War I, German scientists had shown themselves willing to subvert laws and morality in pursuit of money and power. Cornwell also clearly outlines the popular pseudosciences--"racial hygiene," astrology, glacial cosmogony--that drove Hitler's madness. Were there any German scientists who were swept up unknowing or unwilling in the Nazi war machine? It's unclear, but Cornwell's analysis of whether Werner Heisenberg was a "hero, a villain or a fellow traveler" is crucial to that question. Heisenberg's role in the Nazi's inability to complete an atomic bomb is still a riddle, but Cornwell presents all available facts and allows readers to draw their own conclusions. In his last chapters, Cornwell draws parallels between Hitler's scientists and those working in today's world of political anxiety, terrorism, and attacks on basic science. He demolishes once and for all the outdated, disproven, and dangerous notion of scientists working in a vacuum, free of the "taint" of the outside world, and answerable only to their funders. --Therese Littleton

|Reviews for Uncertainty
| Inventor of ZADRF chapter 1 . 7/3
Ok to be fair, I skimmed through the majority of this story and didn't see it through to the end. Being a committed RobStar fan, I couldn't bear this too long without exploding. But you actually peaked my interest here.
I've never seen any major BBStar, maybe not any period. But i like your take on it. It's kind of like more of a real world issue: what if the person you love doesnt feel the same? I've faced that, so I could really relate. I don't exactly think that this setting is completely realistic, mainly because you'd have to change around many situations and occurrences in the actual show for these couples to make sense. Yet you haven't failed to impress me yet. All these things I say I don't want to read, and you have me getting hooked
| LoveGarStar4ever chapter 11 . 5/18
OMG I have looked for a story like this EVERYWHERE and I decided to try it even though I hate RobRae but it was AWESOME!
| Guptanation chapter 11 . 3/5
You do a fantastic job of fleshing out BB and Star's relationship and giving it a really strong base. You do a remarkable job of really staying true to who the characters are - Starfire isn't just some complete emotional wreck or trying to get revenge on Robin by going for Beast Boy. She's still quintessentially Starfire, a strong, confident, self-assured woman with a deep sense of compassion and happiness, even if she needs to take some time to deal with the hurt of losing Robin and to remember who she is/wants to be. The characters in your story feel like the real characters rather than just cheap facsimiles of them. I really feel like there is so much potential for a very deep and strong relationship between the two of them but it never gets explored at any level in the cartoon or in fanfics, even at the friendship level. It was refreshing to see a real exploration of what could be... (in case you haven't guessed, I love reading fics that don't stick to canon pairings and plot)
| Heartless demon wolf chapter 11 . 2/6
Been so long since I read this that I doubt you're on here any more or even writing Teen Titans stories but if you are then I seriously love this story, it will help me with my own Beastfire (Beast Boy/Starfire) stories and these two are my OTP, you done it in ways I can only dream, I'm trying to slow their connection down in my stories but it's hard sometimes.
If you are still up for an idea maybe some CyJinx please? I love that pairing and there is seriously not a lot of them thank you my friend
| Heart chapter 11 . 12/7/2014
Best fanfic ever! :)
| Mute1410 chapter 11 . 7/30/2014
This FIC is just one of my favorites of all time. This is without a doubt the best BbStar FanFic that I have ever read. You really should do more BbStar.
| Mute1410 chapter 1 . 7/30/2014
I just read the whole thing and I have to say that it loved it.
| 777inaccessible777 chapter 11 . 7/2/2014
I've gotten a pretty fishy feeling about BB. RobRae in this story... - YES... BBStar...? Star's side was cute, but I've been feeling the 'player' sense about BB about half-way through. He doesn't seem to get deeper than the 'oozes of romance.' I bet that Star will find someone else, who actually cares MORE about her heart. I'm sorry, dear shippers, but Beast Boy was a no-no here. The characterization of BB was a lil' off. The BB of the show would care more.
This is just my opinion. I sincerely thought that Starfire was going to be ditched in the last chapter! xD... Maybe I'm a little weird. Sorry.
StarRob is the best, even if overrated, pairing. :,) BBxRae works certain times.
Kryalla, IK you're a DIEHARD StarRob shipper, and it DOES show here, although I don't think the RobRae is going to be broken here. Unless dear RaeRae kicks the bucket.
I'll PM you.
| Guest chapter 11 . 4/13/2014
Best BBstar I've read so far. Great work!
| Obvious Ghost chapter 11 . 3/25/2014
I think I heard somewhere that this story was good because it had a unique spin on the couples situation. I gave it a look, but it turned out that this story is good for all kinds of other reasons, too.
Seriously, this is amazing. The way Beast Boy and Starfire acted was brilliant, the choices with Robin and Raven were really bold, and the actual plot was a lot of fun too.
| zafnak chapter 9 . 1/28/2014
Oh gawds I can't stop laughing ... Gar has a taste for Dick...Slade in a tutu dancing to the Sugarplum Fairy music...
It contrasts so well with the dawwww of Gar and Star smooching and cuddling.
| zafnak chapter 6 . 1/28/2014
It seems to me one would be doing a LOT of kissing with that tradition...after all, how can you properly cut a piece of cake if you don't slice all the way to the bottom? Naughty Aussies...
| Jimmy1201 chapter 11 . 1/3/2014
This story is absolutely amazing. In one of your comments, you mentioned the goal of getting people to suspend their beliefs, their pre-conceived notions when you write. Although I am one of the people you mention that easily suspends belief, this story is absolutely convincing because of the way you have portrayed Starfire. Your Starfire is dead on with respect to her personality in the cartoons (I have read little of the comics and don't like the new Starfire, she seems to be somewhat burned out and lacks the joy and love of the Teen Titans cartoon).
Thank you very much,
| Memories'34 chapter 11 . 10/29/2013
Oh, sod. I'm such a Rob/Star shipper and I find it so hard to believe that I'm falling in love with this couple... I could even tolerate Rob/Rae... what is happening?!
I read Stolen such a long time ago just because I enjoy your writing and was so distraught, poor Star! But for some reason I'd never seen this? And I do come on your page frequently when I'm in need of my dosage of Rob/Star. Damn, am I gutted I didn't see it sooner, too.
Half way through, I was just falling in love with Beast Boy and Starfire that I actually started worrying you was going to end up putting Robin and Starfire together. I never imagined this happening... so to sum up my babbling, I lovw Beast Boy and Starfire.
However, I just enjoyed this story so thoroughly. You encaptured Starfire's emotions so well that I didn't want to stab Ravens eyes out. Also, the way you didn't suddenly make Starfire fall for BB just caused me to love it all the more. She developed, you showed how she's independent and I've always loved in your stories that she's kick*ss and not an idiot.
*Swoons* Then, there's BB. He was just amazing in this story and now I'm completely questioning what my canon pairing is now... look what's happening!
Basically, to sum up my babbling, which still hasn't fulfilled half of what I wanted to say, this story is one of my favourites, I love your writing and I love your (frankly) adourable friendship with Kater (when you two write together it's epic).
Oh, and I can not believe I'm asking this, but I'm craving for more after reading this. If you find inspiration, please write another BB/Star or a sequel... I'm desperate!
And please, no matter that you're a fantastic writer, I sincerely doubt you could write a Slade/Robinf and we'd love it. Be interesting to see you try though.
Anywho, back to stalking some more of your stories and re-reading this one.
Thank you for this story and all the others you've produced.
(Please excuse any atrocious spelling eerrors that may have occured during this review, I'm typing from my phone)
| NarikotheShadow chapter 11 . 10/16/2013
This is still my favorite BB and star I've probably read it like three times!

Glen Perkins and Pat Neshek, Minnesota natives and former Twins teammates who chose different paths when butting heads with management over injuries, were reunited in the boxscore Tuesday at the All-Star Game at Target Field.
Neshek, the St. Louis Cardinals reliever waived by the Twins in 2011, was tagged with the loss in the American League's 5-3 victory after giving up two earned runs on three hits in the fifth inning of his first all-star appearance.
Perkins, who mended fences with the Twins in 2010 and has since signed two contract extensions, earned the save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning in his second All-Star Game. Fans serenaded him with chants of "Let's Go, Perkins!"
A Stillwater native who played baseball at Minnesota, he clearly was thrilled afterward.
"It was unbelievable and jeez, I don't even know," he said at his postgame press conference. "I'm at a loss for words. I'm not usually at a loss of words, but I am now."
On a roster filled with good stories, Neshek's was one of the best, making his first All-Star Game at 33 after having his career derailed for two years by Tommy John surgery in 2008. He's 4-0 with a league-best 0.70 earned-run average.
Neshek still has some anger at the Twins after they waived him following a dispute over a finger injury in 2011 spring training, but the Brooklyn Park native was delighted to be back and received one of the warmest receptions of the game.
"I was overwhelmed," he said. "I didn't expect that.
In the visiting locker room after the game, Neshek was still too happy with the entire all-star experience to be upset by the loss. Surrounded by family after flying in Sunday night, he was running on fumes when NL manager Mike Matheny -- his St. Louis skipper -- brought him in to pitch the fifth.
"I wasn't so much nervous. In fact, I was really relaxed," Neshek said. "Maybe that was the problem. My stuff was terrible; my fastball was barely breaking 90 out there, and it just felt weird out there -- different catcher, different guys running around. I'm kind of glad it's over."
Perkins, who didn't get to pitch in last year's All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York, knew he would pitch in a save situation and spent three long innings waiting for his chance after the AL took the lead on MVP Mike Trout's RBI double off Neshek.
"Coming in (from the bullpen), you know, the first thing I told myself when I got on the field was, 'Slow down,' which usually is not a problem for me jogging in," he said. "And I felt like I ran a little too fast. I knew I had a lot of time, and I said, 'Take some time between warm-up pitches.'
"I couldn't do that, so I had to stand on the mound for 45 seconds or whatever."
The game, Perkins said, met "my expectations and more.
Asked if he felt bad for his former teammate, Perkins said, "You know, no."
"He got the chance to come pitch in front of the fans, you know, that watched him when he was here," he continued. "And I'm sure they're a very good team; I am sure they wanted to win the game, but it didn't work out that way. (For Neshek), I think the experience of it is more important than the result. I think getting on that mound, the chance that he got to go out and throw is the neatest thing.
"And I watched him when he came off the field; he got high-fives from his teammates, and that's more what it is about than if you win or lose."
After the game, a reporter started to ask Neshek, "If someone told you, when you were young, that you would pitch in a major league All-Star Game in Minnesota ..."
Without missing a beat, Neshek said, "And take the loss?"
After the laughter died down, he said, "I'd take it."

The catch 22 of condoms in US correctional facilities
1 Division of Infectious Diseases, Massachusetts General Hospital, Jackson 504, 55 Fruit Street, Boston, MA, 02139, USA
2 Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA
3 Department of Medicine and the Positive Health Program, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA
BMC Public Health 2007, 7:296 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-7-296Published: 21 October 2007
Despite the high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV infection in US correctional settings, most jails and prisons in the United States prevent inmates from using condoms to prevent STIs/HIV.
This article makes the following arguments to justify a scalable and feasible next step in the prevention of HIV/STIs among inmates: condoms are a basic and essential part of HIV/STI prevention, HIV/STI transmission occurs in the context of corrections, and several model programs show the feasibility of condom distribution in prisons. A lower end estimate for HIV incidence among incarcerated applied to 2,000,000 new inmates annually results in thousands of new HIV infections acquired each year in corrections that could be prevented with condoms in corrections facilities. Programs from parts of the United States, Canada, and much of Europe show how programs distributing condoms in correctional facilities can be safe and effective.
Public health and corrections officials must work together to ensure that condoms and broader sexual disease prevention programs are integrated into US jail and prison health systems.

me too
sorry about typo¨s, hopefully you can read between the lines. have a nice evening.
regarding the offering great question. My gut answer based on experience is that you can never count on a buy out even if its your end game or a viable exit. thus, you need to be prepared for a deal not going , secondly, a depleting war chest can weaken your leverage - stance in a protracted negotiation as the acquiring party can use it against you if when negotiating in good faith. The more i ponder a buy out the more makes it makes sense from a mass global roll out approach. potential candidates , usually suspects all have synergistic tie ins. whether it be relationships with doctors, sales teams, lab scalability and ins with the reimbursers.
i have to keep a core position on as i would not want to miss a big rip on news.
great points Bio. Alot of my thesis on a buy out is based on my own jaded experiences of getting products to market .I just think they see the leverage and economies of scale by walking in a established foot print versus trying to cut out there own. regarding reimbursements, i believe this will come yet not without resistance. Yet, I agree with MGMT strategy of letting the data due the talking. albeit with out it in place any roll-out will be limited. but, lets say that TROV turns on the facet of testing with a discount prior to reimbursement approval therby establishing the market then just change the billing model post approval. now , imagine a established testing company behind them durig the beta roll out . just challenging conventional thinking. as, my own start up days are behind me.
I make investments based on market opportunity. Which led me to get involved here. Yet, as my posts highlight i use technical indicators to enter and exit. After, thinking through the different sides of this opportunity this weekend. I believe MGMT might be priming this for acquisition in the near term. I was led to this believe by their quasi undefined macro roll out strategy , including there lack of ramp up of sales reps. Thus, it leads me to consider they want to team up with a company that has an established and creditable sales infrastructure in place. Thereby; allowing them to add their product on someones menu. They have been kinda cagey about disclosing REV model and very adamant about data, data which also tells me they´re not focused on making money but focused on building the barriers to entry ( IP ) and getting proof of concept and willingness of adoption that all lends itself to getting the best deal possible. As, the matrix of valuation will not be based on current or historical sales but future sales. thus, it comes down to IP and Adoption. My gut tells me they are talking to potential buyers now .... All the above is my humble often naive opinion.
bid has no depth
very little buy side interest. I agree with your early analysis of being in a trade range here with a 5 floor. i believe we could fill gap at 5.78. buyers will step in. yet, we will still have the issue of over 3mm shares short .
Nice Technical DD JR. I believe the volume next week will really help us understand the tale here. As, nervous retail shorts could have created a melt up only to be leaned on by the generals. PS: great color on tomorrow makes liars of us. have a great wkend. Blessings .
sorry about typos. got my 5 yr old son wanting to wrestle.
Any thoughts on tape today. felt like some short covering. yet, with 3.3mm short and perhaps a blend of buying its fraction of whats left. the daily chart is improving as seen in the macs , rsi and stoch. yet, momentum is still very low. the weekly signals another leg down as the macd is showing negative divergence. not seeing any news events until late Q4 thus the theory that todays action was melt up on short shores to catch new buyers on next leg down.
aplogize for mis communication , they have proof of concept now need proof of adoption. no need to be hostile . just sharing humble opinions. praise jesus
sounds good either way. all we can do is speculate. have a great weekend
they will need proof of adoption not just concept. buy out possible but the can needs to be kicked way down the road for both side of a deal. yet, very viable exit strategy for trov shareholders.
what fascinates me is PEPSI theory. right or wrong he points to some very good trade data on the short side. has to be acknowledged.
not worried at all. happy to buy more in the 4s or low 5s happy if it pops. as ,I stated this is just a learning for me. plenty of dry powder. just not willing to chase anything in this market. wait for things to come to you. blessings. have a great day.
watching the tape. waiting for the whack. yet,early volume is high. new buyers or short covering fake melt up to walk it down ... interesting case study here.
my point was simply they need the reimbursement contracts in place prior to mass rollout. which could take a lot more time then anticipated as it layered with bureaucracies. I've been there as a CEO of a health care start up. it was brutal.
regarding institutions DD you would think so. Yet, then why not disclose more details of pre rollout enrollments and commercial roll out and some type slide show highlighting action plan and timeline. TTOO is in the same boat in some regards but they have provided deal shops and retail guys working numbers to start modeling out opportunity. i think they sprayed the CC with merited enthusiasm but camouflaged some of the unknowns.. i believe they will get there and they have the cap runway . yet, i thinking well into 2016 before they truly monetize this platform
the other big question is the time to get approved for reimbursements as this will greatly stymie the commercial roll-out. patients will be less likely to use this disruptive and potentially out performing platform if they have to pay for it. just leads me to believe we have a long way to go before this model is bringing in meaningful revenue. dont get me wrong love the story but alot of patience is going to be required perhaps more then i wanted to admit.

My granddaughter was born with molluscum, but we didn't have a correct diagnosis until she
was eighteen months old. We tried applying Frankincense undiluted on them without success. We switched to Melaleuca diluted with olive oil and within a couple of weeks they were entirely
gone. That was a year ago and they have not reappeared.

text: Went out for a lunch ride today -gosh, I just love SFBA winters (could use some more rain, though)- and I stopped to chat with a fellow about his little mini Doxie. He looked me and my over and asked: "Are you a cyclist?" Without hesitation, I replied: "I AM a cyclist". This gave me great pause for thought for the rest of my ride. To me, a cyclist (as opposed to a "bike rider") is that the bike and my time on it is a fundamental part of my life. I ain't never gonna race and I sure ain't no mountain goat but within the boundaries of what I do, my rides are as much a part of me as oxygen. Somewhere, I crossed a line. No going back, now. I love the pain.

University Slammed With Calls
Posted December 10, 2010 by Ryan Huling
You guys are so awesome, and here's why: After peta2 asked everyone to urge officials at the University of Michigan (UM) to stop tormenting live cats and pigs in cruel and deadly survival flight training exercises (which are completely unnecessary considering that UM already uses superior non-animal simulators to teach the same skills in other classes), you all came through.
And how! So many people have been contacting the university that callers to the office of UM President Mary Sue Coleman are greeted with this message:
"Thank you for calling the president's office at the University of Michigan. At this time, we are experiencing a large number of calls regarding animal research and are unable to answer your call at this time. If you are calling regarding animal research and wish to make your opinion known to President Coleman, please press 1. If you are calling about any other matter, please press 2."
In fact, the situation caused such a stir that it landed a story on the front page of the UM student newspaper!
On behalf of the animals who are still suffering in laboratories, thank you. Keep up the great work—and keep those calls coming!

Smaller class = better class?
National Signing Day is a day where thousands of athletes make a life altering decision - where will they play college football? In the last eleven years, Texas has faired well on National Signing Day, averaging twenty-two signees per year, with an average Rivals.com star rating of 3.7. The 2013 Texas class is smaller than most with just fifteen signees. But Mack Brown said Wednesday, sometimes the smaller classes are better evaluated.
"Sometimes in smaller classes, you do a better job of your evaluation. And they really come in with a little chip on their shoulder because they're not as highly ranked and people aren't bragging on them as much. They fight harder to play well."
Texas had five decommitments in this class, including A'Shawn Robinson last weekend. Brown said Texas has been lenient on allowing verbal commits to visit other schools, but that will no longer be the case.
"We've allowed a couple of kids to commit and still look around the last couple of years. We're going back and say we're not doing that anymore. If you're committed to us be committed. And if you're going to go look we're going to go look."
On the team side of things, Brown was asked about the decision to allow Case McCoy and Jordan Hicks back on the team, after the two were suspended for violating team rules at the Alamo Bowl. Brown said the decision to let the two back on the field was based off the same policy Texas has had throughout the years.
"They were not charged. So like every other situation in that case, when a young man is not charged, we have brought them back on the team. If they have done something to embarrass our team or our university we have put them through some harsh discipline."
Check back Thursday for Mack Brown's full breakdown of the talent coming to the 40 Acres this season.

If you've been following our twitter page,
We fixed many old bugs, mainly menu and HUD problems, such as the positioning of buttons being slightly off center, and certain things not working as they should, we also fixed a couple of AI related bugs. One of the bugs fixed was the resolution change. You can now play the game in a variety of resolutions between 1024x768 to 1920x1080. We also added an option to switch between windowed and fullscreen modes.
Survival mode is now working for 1-4 players in split-screen, we haven't encountered any bugs so far, and it seems to work very nicely. At the moment, in Survival mode, you face an increasing number of enemies for an unlimited amount of waves, it is truly endless, until you die. I also did some work on the shop in survival mode, fixed a couple more bugs involving that, including shooting whilst the shop window is open. I still have to program the shops to work for players 2, 3 and 4, currently only Player 1 can use the shop. I added dynamic difficulty as well, meaning AI will have more HP depending on the amount of players in the game.
Other than that, we decided to look at the game, originally we planned for a fairly realistic shooter, but now we're aiming for a more arcadey feel to the game, fast-paced combat etc. etc. So we've decided to remove ammo from the game, all weapons have unlimited ammo. We also made movement slightly faster.
We added some extra sound effects and music to the game, there's now 4 songs in the game, currently randomly picked by the game when you start a level, although we may add a feature that lets you choose what music you want to play, we also changed some sound effects, laser weaponry, for example, now makes the sound of a laser, instead of a gunpowdery explosion sound.
That's all for this week, look out for the next development diary next week, and also remember to keep up to date by following our twitter page!

Max Pacioretty is checked into the net by Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Bellemore. / James Guillory, USA TODAY Sports
Team USA will be heading to the Sochi Olympics in good injury shape after Max Pacioretty said he'll be fine after crashing into the net.
He was driving to the net Saturday night but was checked by Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Bellemore, dislodged the net and began writhing in pain. He left the game and didn't return. But afterward, he told reporters that he was fine.
"I was in pain and I was having spasms, but I could tell that obviously it was more muscular than anything else," he said. "They took X-rays for precautionary (reasons) and they held me out for precautionary as well."
He said he thought about Sochi while on the ice, but said he already was feeling better.
"Obviously, I have a couple days now before our first game and I think I'm going to be 100%," he said.
Though some U.S. players were out in the month leading up to the Olympics, they all returned in time, sparing the USA the injury problems of Sweden (Henrik Sedin, Johan Franzen), Finland (Mikko Koivu, Valtteri Filppula), Canada (Steven Stamkos), Slovakia (Marian Gaborik) and the Czech Republic (Vladimir Sobotka).
Team USA general manager David Poile's arrival will be delayed because he needed facial surgery after being hit by a puck.
Meanwhile, another Olympian had to stay home when the New York Islanders team doctors didn't clear defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky to go.
Visnovsky, who recently returned from a lengthy concussion absence, was named to play for Team Slovakia.

Ever gotten excited watching a Japanese gay porno only to find all the best parts censored? That's where Japanboyz comes in. Featuring 100% uncensored, original and all together kinky content of gorgeous boys from Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, Okinawa and all over gay Japan. Experience the gay Japanese love….uncensored!!!
As Haruto gauges Yura's hole and readies to enter, both guys are coming up hard and horny. Sucking on the bottom's cock, Haruto makes the boy squirm and moan; the sounds get more intense as the top slides in. Feeling the "girth" of the top, Yura has his partner go slow; they soon move as one. From all angles, both the boys are "fully engaged." Stroking Yura's cock as he thrusts, the top then turns his partner onto his knees. By the time they catch their breaths, both giggle and stare in amazement at one another; this is truly "a dream cum true." Back down on the bed, the bottom's whimpers encourage Haruto to continue; the top's sexy ass undulating is a sexy sight indeed. With more soft kissing and caressing, the pair solidifies their bond; Yura runs his hands up and down Haruto's back. When the top pulls out, he and Yura begin to masturbate as they watch one another intensely. Yura blows first, as a huge thick load reaches up to his sternum. Smiling, Haruto follows with an equally profuse response.
Yuto is a soft spoken boy, until we start chatting about guys. Apparently he's into boys around the Tokyo area who are more aggressive with him. He says when he masturbates, he likes to use toys and fantasize about being taken. This Japanboyz.com hottie starts by lying on the bed and working his body, as though another boy had control; if you were in charge of Yuto's body, what would you do? Helping with his desires, I use a vibrator on him, until he takes it and does his own "good vibrations." His dick responds immediately with the tip of his penis, making a nice exit out of his underwear. Sliding off his bottoms, Yuto "goes manual" on himself; his tight body and defined abs pop up immediately as he strokes. Wetting his lips, he moves his body into position as to be fucked; he really does enjoy being dominated. Jerking, he spews a bit onto his shaft, and keeps on tugging; guess he's not done with you. Standing for a bit, he seems to have more in him. At one point, lying back down on the bed, more jizz comes out, and he looks embarrassed. Yuto, this very shy boy, then strokes a third load out, shit. As if to make up for the two smaller loads, he keeps going until he blows a huge pool, all over his groin. Damn, wherever Yuto is, seems like happy accidents keep "cumming" up.
Meeting at Makoto's apartment, he, in the black, chats with Khan, in the white. The pair soon realizes the connection they share. Attracted to one another, this is going to be a far "deeper" bond than either first thought. Japanboyz.com films just what happens when chemistry is felt and desires are explored. As Makoto sucks on Khan's dick, he watches the reaction and adjusts his oral abilities to heighten their pleasure. The boys trade places as Khan blows Makoto. Looking at his partner, Khan engulfs all, and then teases Makoto's frenulum with his flickering tongue. Standing, Makoto plays with his large, sensitive nipples. Moving inside, the boys wash one another up and suds all the "good parts." Making out in the bedroom, Khan will be topping Makoto, who lies down and receives more of Khan's skilled abilities. Enjoying the "extra bath," Makoto arches his back and squirms at all the sensations filling his body. Rolling under Makoto, Khan then lies on his back, hard and ready. Like outside, Makoto's mouth swallows and tempts every inch of the top. We leave you with a tease for next time, when Khan uses more than his tongue to satisfy Makoto.

Game Boy hooked me on the Nintendo philosophy and I've never looked back. N64 was my first Nintendo console. Favorite games: Tetris, Picross, Animal Crossing, Zelda, A Boy and His Blob (Wii), Dr. Mario, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Games are toys and should be (first and foremost) fun.

I'll be honest. I don't care at all about AAA third party games appearing on Nintendo game systems. The one's I have played are just not my style. I love how Nintendo forges their own path, innovating interaction, game goals, and concepts while keeping things bright, cheerful and above all fun. No other designer does this to the quality and consistency of Nintendo.
I want NX to push the envelope and open new gaming possibilities, not just bump up CPU's and horsepower.
Nintendo has promised to show NX in 2016 but I suspect it won't be released until mid or end of year 2017. Dev kits aren't even out yet and the rumors are we're just one year from release. That's not happening. I'm curious and optimistic but with nothing really to go on at this point I'm not hyped.
Now back to playing Wii U and 3DS.
I'm not very interested in this game at all. I've never enjoyed a build-it-yourself type game yet. Not only do I not care for building my own levels but I generally dislike the user created levels I've played. It may be old fashioned but I prefer my levels made by experienced professionals.
It's awesome to see a feature on the San Diego StreetPass group! I attend the Los Angeles miitups. They just celebrated their fourth anniversary too. It's great to see other 3DS gamers regularly, catch up, play games and such. If you have a 3DS you should definitely look up your local StreetPass group.
This morning I was able to log on to Club Nintendo and claim my free download. However, the site froze before it displayed the download code. Since then I haven't been able to log in. I sure hope I'm still able to download the game later.
Nintendo really needs to work on making their sites more accessible during high traffic times. It's highly frustrating. Especially when users miss out on things due to the site crashing.
Labels are better than numbers for reviewing games. Number scores only cause flame wars over a game getting a 7.5 when it "really deserved" an 8.5. In that case, either score means the game is recommended and a worthy purchase. "Vital" "Recommended" and "Avoid" are much more helpful than meaningless numbers.
It's a crying shame that A Boy and His Blob didn't make your list. Easily one of my favorite Wii games. I'd also add The Munchables and Deadly Creatures.

My clients include Bristol City Council, WOMAD records and several local magazines and newspapers. More recently I have been commissioned by a number of galleries and arts organisations, including Bristol's famous Arnolfini gallery, to provide images for a number of art exhibitions and photographic instilations Feel free to grab any picture you like for private use. Also feel free to nab anything you like if you wanna chop it up for an art project or the like. If you want to use the image for a charity, or other not for profit purposes just let me know where it is being used and chuck me a credit (Before or after the event is fine). If you wish to use any image for profit making commercial activities please contact me first. (You will NOT be charged for using any of these images) NONE OF THESE IMAGES MAY BE USED FOR ANYTHING THAT PROMOTES HATRED, DISCRIMINATION OR EXPLOITATION. All comments (good or bad) welcome.
