A remarkable literary feat, 'Brideshead' explores memorable characters and deep theological issues with a deft touch. While there is a sincere religious focus to the book, the plot and language employed by E. Waugh are of such a caliber that even irreligious readers will not resist being impressed.

"My theme is memory, that winged host." There's a haunting elegiac beauty to this novel which maybe makes it seem a little better than it really is. The writing is gorgeous, especially when Waugh is ... Read full review

Jan 30 2013, 12:51pm CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Brandi Glanville made Eddie Cibrian buy her a "new" vagina.
The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star has revealed she exacted revenge on her cheating ex-husband by charging an intimate vaginal rejuvenation procedure, worth $12,000, to his credit card following his 2009 affair with country singer LeAnn Rimes.
The 40-year-old former model - who has two sons, Mason, nine, and five-year-old Jake, with Eddie - explained her pricey payback plot in her upcoming autobiography, 'Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders'.
She reveals: "I would ask Eddie from time to time if my vagina was the same after childbirth. He always said yes, except once. He was actually quite vulgar."
Following the couple's separation, Brandi discovered her spouse had blocked her credit card, so she decided to send him a message by making a large transaction on his.
She reasoned: "I decided that since Eddie ruined my vagina for me, he could pay for a new one.
"A week after the vaginal rejuvenation surgery, he was on the phone screaming, 'What the f**k cost you $12,000? Did you get a nose job?' I responded simply, 'Yes. A nose job.' And I hung up."
Since splitting from the 'Playboy Club' actor, the sharp-tongued blonde has been locked in a bitter war of words with LeAnn, who married Eddie in 2011 after legally separating from her husband Dean Sheremet.
In an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' last week, the 'Can't Fight the Moonlight' singer exclaimed Brandi could "screw" herself.

Perhaps I'm missing something, it happens some times.
A recent article by Mark Brown on the Wired UK website presents the research being pursued by Yale Song and others at MIT exploring the potential to use hand gestures and body positions in a real time aircraft carrier environment to direct unmanned planes on the flight deck.
Their approach, which in some ways is similar to Microsoft's Kinect system, captures and analyzes the deck crew's body and hand motions extremely rapidly and with a high degree of accuracy in order to generate commands that the robotic drone aircraft can understand and respond to.
So, what's my problem - what am I missing?
Just that it seems really odd that the highly sophisticated, and extremely expensive, military drone aircraft that are rapidly replacing their human piloted counterparts, can fly hundreds, if not thousands of miles, and complete their missions with an extreme degree of accuracy, will need to be shepherded around the flight deck by mere humans once they return home to their assigned carrier.
If we can replace the onboard pilot, why would we need a yellow jacketed, flashlight wielding human to play traffic cop?
Perhaps this is envisioned as a temporary, stop-gap solution. It's hard to tell. But, at the rate that the military, at least the US military, is adopting and implementing advanced drones. it won't be long before the need for humans in the air, and on the flight deck, will be a distant memory of the past.

ELK GROVE — For 36 minutes, the Ponderosa football team stayed within striking distance of host Elk Grove in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoff opener Friday night before three, fourth-quarter touchdowns cemented the Thundering Herd's 41-0 victory over the Bruins.
Ponderosa, the No. 14 seed, trailed 21-0 entering the fourth quarter before Elk Grove's (10-1) Robert Frazier scored on a 43-yard end around with 11:02 left in the game.
On the ensuing drive, the Bruins appeared headed toward Herd territory when quarterback Jake Bist hit tight end Ralph Raetz for a 22-yard gain to their own 40. But two plays later, Herd defensive end Casey Whalen recovered a Bruin fumble in the end zone to increase the advantage to 35-0.
"We made a couple of mistakes in the second half that opened the game up," Ponderosa head coach Jason Tenner said.
Elk Grove wasted little time in scoring its final touchdown in the quarter when defensive end Bwon Canada picked off a Bist pass and returned it 15 yards for the final score. The Bruins drove to the Herd's 1-yard drive on the ensuing drive, but time expired to end the game.
"My hats off to them," said Tenner of the Herd. "They are a great group. I told them (Tenner's players after the game) we exceeded everyone's expectations this year. Our kids fought. I'm proud of them."
Frazier and Wadus Parker led the Elk Grove ground attack. Both also started on defense. Though the Bruins hoped to wear down the duo they instead picked up energy as the game progressed.
"That was part of our game plan," Tenner said.
"We were dedicated, we bonded together and just clicked," added Bruins wide receiver Christian Canepa about this year's team. "It's not how we wanted to end the season, but it was a great year for us."
Elk Grove, which only led 14-0 at halftime, scored its third touchdown in the third quarter as Parker scored on a 2-yard run. The Bruins played the entire second half without middle linebacker Jeff Camilli due to injury.
Ponderosa had the ball in Elk Grove territory twice in the first half. One drive ended on a missed 29-yard field goal. The Thundering Herd scored in the first and second quarters: Frazier on a 68-yard run and Spencer Sheff on a 34-yard run.

OK. This topic burned up another board I visit. So I might as well bring it up here. On another board, someone posed the question: Why do straight men watch shemales? Are they secretly gay? Are they simply digging the novelty of the third sex? Maybe they like the idea of women who take it in the ass in every scene? I'd love to hear some input on this.

i like watching shemales but only with girls . as a matter of fact i do prefer g/g only movies than straight one so less man are better for me (and a shemale is less man of course).
to me seeing a girl with a shemale is not gay at all. to me , all those 2 or more guys on 1 girl is much more gay (all the dap , dpp). and the hypocracy about shemales from guys who likes dap or dpp is very funny .
but hey who cares , gays , straights , everyone should watch whatever they like and anyone knows whether he is gay or not without others trying to figure it out.

1st of all i own every Volume of Rogue Adventures from EA. To be honest, i´ve been asking myself a couple of times too. I couldn´t find an answer yet. I have to agree that i like Shemale/girl scenes better than shemale/male but if i´m in the right "mood" i have fantasiezed about shemales too. Maybe that makes me "bi" ... even though i wouldn´t want to have sex with a man. I´d rather have a shemale than a girl with a strap-on ... as far as that fantasy goes. On the other hand ... if it were Lola or Tiffany Mynx wearing the strap-on i could make an exeption . Other than that RobHammer and loop said it all :)

With all due respect, GODFATHER, I agree with RobHammer...
One could also ask similar questions about whether those who enjoy watching 50-man creampies would actually enjoy participating in one. Maybe they would and maybe they wouldn't . The point is that porn is about depicting fantasies (which it often falls short at doing well anyway!). I may have fantasies about doing extreme violence to a co-worker that pissed me off yesterday. That doesn't make me a violent person.

I'm so tired of this discussion. It's not your fault GODFATHER, but ADT has seen this discussion again and again. Some searching will turn up multiple threads that were sometimes pretty interesting, but invariably degenerated into the same ol' narrow-minded arguments. I just don't see the point of it. Discussions like these can't help but make a strange kind of gay/straight evaluative judgement for no good reason. There's an audience for shemales just as there's an audience for DAPs. This is a porn forum. Why do we still insist on labeling people? Who cares if it's gay or not? I just don't understand.

WOW! A dozen replies in as many hours.
I really sparked something here, didn't I?
I wasn't aware this was a hackneyed topic on ADT. Maybe I shouldv'e looked through the database first. Sorry.
From my experience, I find a lot of men who view the shemale porn, gravitate toward a small group of very feminine performers...like Vanity, and Fabiane DeLeCosta, and Patricia Araujo.
I guess it's just a preferential thing. Different strokes, and all that.

This is the only way I could describe an attraction to shemales.
Some guys are attracted to cock, but not on males. They don't like what men look like, they aren't attracted to men.
But a cock on a girl or "shemale" as some would put it is an entirely different thing.
As someone else said earlier, gay men aren't into shemales. Guys that think other men are attractive and hot don't think shemales are attractive, why? Because they look like women not men.
Gay men are into the whole package on a guy just like hetereo women are, face, body etc.
But guys that are into shemales aren't into other guys, they don't find other men attractive because they are masculine.
Shemales are attractive to "straight men" because some guys like cock on a feminine body, a woman's body.
You will notice that guys that are into shemales are also into genetic women. They date both women and shemales, but not guys. I know you will say shemales are guys and technically they are, but they don't LOOK like guys and that's the whole point.
Most guys into shemales will tell you they don't care if a "woman" has a cock or not. If he finds her attractive she can have a cock (shemale) or not have a cock (genetic woman) and it doesn't matter to him, he would fuck her either way.
Femininity is the key.
Some guys are into the feminine look that a female has no matter what's inbetween "her" legs if you know what I mean.
If she has a cock, that's a bonus.

Do you know this movie ? While it may not be "everyones" movie it makes you think about a few things. About the Shemales ... i too like only shemales that fit the "girl_with_cock" description and not the "guy_with_tits" description

Yeah I've seen it, but this movie is much better:
The t-girl that played the starring role took her own life soon after this movie was released.

I think that's just a thing of curiosity with me. I had to see it once and then I knew it.
A shemale is a guy that looks like a girl but has a cock instead of what makes me most horny about women.
I don't think it's gay to dig shemales but I prefer a pink little pussy anytime.

Bottom line. there are these things called chromomes. no matter what gender someone chooses to alter themselves into, He or She are the gender they were born.
I have no problem with anyones sexual preference...but dont try and dress it up as something else. if thats your thing admit to at least being bi!

I don't think there is a definitive answer to this subject, and believe me im not in any way judging anyone's sexuality or being disrespectful.
But if i can ask one question? When i find a hot actress, i tell my friends and girlfriend about her. do you discuss your attraction to She males with your friends and girlfriends?

Most of the gay guys I know aren't into she-male videos, but categorizing the tastes of gay men as an all-or-nothing thing is as tricky as categorizing the tastes of a supposedly 100% straight man.
arthur - I couldn't agree with you more.
Godfather - I think you answered your own topic here: "I guess it's just a preferential thing. Different strokes, and all that."

I'm an eterosexual exclusive and even cannot understand How it is possible girl may like males which are attractive like a tree to me , but i think that each one of us may choose what he or she wants in his/her life. I don't care who likes who i only make sure that if i try to have a date with a girl she like it and is not lesbian.
for the rest i live an let live .
There's a gay forum on this board i'm not intersted in so i do not read message and do not go there to tell them i don't agree their way of life they're supposed not to be interested on people which don't like males and that's all

I know ultimately a shemale is technically a guy.
But do you realize that when these shemales take female hormones that their bodies truly start behaving like women's bodies. A lot of shemales can lactate, these "girls" actually produce breast milk. I've seen it myself.
At some point you just can't offhandedly call them "men with tits" because it's not that simple. I would call a transvestite a man (someone who dresses part time as a woman, with no surgical enhancements or hormone therapy). Transsexuals live their lives as women, they have gone through transformations to become as much of a woman as possible.
At some point you have to consider that they aren't men anymore, they aren't women either, but you can't just say it's a man with tits, because at some point during the transformation it's gone way beyond that.
It's a gray area, it's not black and white.

A lot of these people don't go through a completion of the transformation. They continue to live in that grey zone. I guess I'd call one whatever s/he asked me to, if I knew one...heck, i might and just not be aware of it.
When determining gender, you have genetic, reproductive, anatomic, and self identity. Its a big continium. In general, born a man, having a penis, having sex with women...that's mostly male, even if you have breasts. Post op, or even pre-op, but with planned 'op', after counseling, I'd go for 'she', tho.

It's a fantasy, folks. Lots of us watch things in porn that we'd never want to do in real life. I like watching really sloppy gangbangs, too, but as far as participating in one... ewwwww. I try to avoid generalizations, but I'd probably suspect that someone who goes out of his way to protest his heterosexuality has gay leanings more than I would suspect someone who admits to enjoying shemale porn.

So if someone says he's heterosexual he's hiding his homosexuality and of course if he has fantasies about girl with dicks he's an ordinary male.
Intersting opinion indeed

If someone has to go out of his way to deny that he's homosexual, it sometimes makes me suspect that he's trying to overcompensate for some gay tendencies that he's not comfortable with. I'm sure that's not the case with you, though. Not that there would be anything wrong with it if that were the case.

With me, I don't feel all guys that like shemales are gay. Sometimes the femine side of the female is very real and believable.
I'm a big Jennifer Anison fan. She's really sexy to me. If I found out that she's a shemale I would still find her sexy.
In general, if a shemale is short, cute with no sign of being a guy, accept for the hidden surprise, can come off as sexy to a regular guy. This is especially true if that shemale pushes the button of a specific group. One group being guys into big double DDs, another group into females with small feet in stockings, another group into females that look very innocent while wearing the little schoolgirl skirt etc.
Another side of it relates to a new trend or that "new thing.

I just watched Joey Silvera's Big Ass She-Male Roadtrip 8 this weekend (review maybe coming next week). I'm not a she-male fan and picked it up simply because Joey is an amazing director and I was curious to see what he could do with a genre that didn't interest me that much. It also didn't hurt that it had Christie Lee in it. After watching it I can't say that I'm really into she-male videos, but I do know that a good director can take something you're not that into and make it interesting enough that it raises the curiosity a little more.

Yes, I feel it's all about the Director. For example, I like Jim Powers style and Henri Pachard style. So if one of them do veer into another genre I will be curious or just buy the DVD.

Well why do I like shemales and shemale porn as a totally straight man?
Simple... I like it up the butt! Figured it out by playing around with toys and stuff. Its kinda hard to find a woman that will actually do a man with a strapon. If I find one every once in a (long) while, no doubt Im down for it.
So why shemales then? Because the feel shit when doing me. They just dont shove a dead cold piece of plastic up my butt and do the fake moaning thing. Its much better when both feel pleasure from whats happening. A real cock is warm, and soft and doesnt build up heat by rubbing the anus as a dildo.
I could never ever have sex with a man! NEVER! And I dont give head to shemales... maybe I would in a relationship after a while... but it was all sexual so far. And she has to be very very very feminin to attract me. There are indeed chicks with dicks... and men with tits. There are shemales that look better and more feminin than most women you see in the streets.

I've never watched she-male porn and never will, ever. But some people say "the women are hot and you can't tell it's really a guy!" But it's STILL a guy. The box covers of them are bad enough. The problem with she-male porn is that it tends to have some dude doing the she-male. Not into that. Sure there is she-male and female porn, but some woman doing the she-male with a strap-on gives me the creeps. Then if I did see some she-male sucking some guy off I'd see no difference between that and gay porn.
Since other people have gotten off topic I will to. I have no problems with seeing some hot girl doing some regular guy with a strap-on. It's just the idea that she'd do something so nasty that's really not "normal" in your everyday porn. Any closeups of the dudes hairy ass and his face i'll pass on. Hell, i've seen women fisting men and I can even stand that, just not closeups, just the idea of it. It's so much better if you don't have to the actual guy.
I saw some preview of "strap attack" and thought it might be something i'd like. Once I saw the men sucking on plastic cocks, I said, no way!! I'd probably like that Jasmine Byrne scene though.
BTW I'm 100% straight. Men even kissing makes me weirded out. But I find lesbians making out so damn hot. I don't hate gay men at all or anything like that. I just haven't been around any ever. I just think it's a normal reaction for me, not having grown up around any or even knowing any.
BTW is there such a thing as a REAL chick with a dick, like someone that was born that way? what's it called? Sorry, I have no clue. Do they have a surgery for woman that want a penis? My wife wanted that done but I told her no way!

Monday through Friday each week The Oracle will give his thoughts on the best and worst matchups of the day.
You would also be wise to bookmark the following two sources to check daily after you read this wondrous piece (I'm so afraid of giving myself props).
Fantasy Alarm Lineups
Batter Versus Pitcher
Daily Projections – For every single day of the season.
DISH DIAMONDS – The Best Hitting Matchups of the Day
Do you doubt Ryan Braun any longer? He's got 10 hits in 23 at-bats versus Cliff Lee, and that's good for a .435 average and three homers. I'm buying.
Random shot in the dark. Matt Dominguez hits very well when pitches are up in the zone (see his Slugging Hot Zone map from 2013). Does that mean he will mash if one of R.A. Dickey's knucklers floats up there?
Aaron Hill hits Tim Lincecum well. He also hits Ryan Vogelsong pretty darn well with nine hits in 16 at-bats (.563 average, 1.424 OPS).
I wasn't a fan of Jason Kipnis. I'm now a fan of Jason Kipnis. I'm also a fan of Kipnis against John Danks who he has five hits leading to a homer and six RBIs over 13 at-bats. Kipnis also hit .308 with a .850 OPS against lefties last year.
It's only seven at-bats but Brandon Moss seems to see Mike Pelfrey pretty well with four hits.
Ryan Raburn has hit three bombs, driven in eight runs and batted .314 with a 1.099 OPS over 35 at-bats when John Danks is on the bump. Raburn just mashes lefties like... no there won't be a Hulk reference here, though since I mentioned the Hulk I obviously did mention the Hulk. #Conundrumfail
Brian Roberts isn't someone that anyone has cared about, really cared about, in what, four years? Still, you should care Thursday. He get's to face Clay Buchholz who didn't look sharp last time out, and Roberts also hit .400 with three homers in 25 at-bats and the greasy-haired one (seriously is there any reason his hair is that greasy other than to have something to doctor the baseball with?).
Giancarlo Stanton isn't impressed with Stephen Strasburg. Sure he has seven Ks in 21 at-bats and that ain't good, but how about two homers, four doubles and a .381/.435/.857 slash line – that change your thoughts?
If you look at Nick Swisher's Hot Zone map from 2013 you will notice that anytime a lefty threw a ball up in the zone that Swisher hammered it (no Thor reference. Dang it, I did it again.). It's therefore not overly surprising to see that Swisher has hit .333 with two homers against John Danks in 18 at-bats.
If he's healthy and in the lineup, Chase Utley should be in your lineup. He faces Marco Estrada who he's 3-for-5 against with three homers. He's also been hot when in the lineup this season. Utley has also crushed righties for most of his career with a HOF slash line of .297/.374/.512.
DISH DISASTERS – Worst Hitting Matchups of the Day
No one likes Asdrubal Cabrera except me (see his Player Profile). However, even I don't like him Thursday when he takes on John Danks who is a mere 7-for-30 against in his career (.233).
Let's be ballsy. Let's sit Paul Goldschmidt Thursday. I can't say I would actually bench the slugger given his start to the season, but the matchup isn't favorable on paper as he has hit .235 with no homers in 17 at-bats against Ryan Vogelsong. Hell, can you really bench Goldy versus a struggling Vogelsong? Maybe not in this matchup even with the numbers suggesting you should.
Kelly Johnson has one hit in 10 at-bats against Clay Buchholz in his career. Johnson also only hit .218 against righties last season. Brett Gardner has two hits in 17 at-bats versus CB as well.
Hopefully the Marlins won't be tempted to start Garrett Jones. He's 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts against Stephen Strasburg. #Ownage
Sometimes things just don't make sense. Like how in the world have I not been cast to be in The Avengers II film? I mean, are you seeing these muscle Joss Wheden? Another thing that makes no sense – how is Andrew McCutchen hitting only .111 with five punchouts in 18 at-bats against Travis Wood? I can understand a 1-for-15 from Pedro Alvarez better, but that's not great either. What about Starling Marte? He has a homer in 14 at-bats but he's also hitting only .143 in the matchup.
Jean Segura hasn't exactly been an offensive force on the young season. He's also hit a mere .262 with four homers against lefties in his career. Probably not going to improve on those numbers while facing Cliff Lee.
MOUND MAVENS – Starting Pitchers to Target
Gerrit Cole versus the Cubs sure sounds like a matchup to exploit. The Cubs have one of the lowest scoring offenses in the game thus far and Cole is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA an 9.00 K/9 mark versus the Cubs.
R.A. Dickey hasn't had tremendous success at the Rogers Centre in his career with a 4.84 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 145 innings. He's also had one shutout effort and was bombed for six runs over five innings in the other this season. Do you trust him against an Astros offense that is far from imposing? I don't completely, but the Astros just can't hit.
Jenrry Mejia faces a team with names like Upton, Upton, Uggla, Heyward, Gattis in it. Sounds imposing but to this point the whole Braves club seems to be operating in a bizzaro world where they think that bad is good (Bizarro Superman anyone?). For his career Mejia owns an insanely high 61.1 percent ground ball rate, and over his last 33.1 innings he's struck out 35 batters leading to a 3.88 K/BB rate.
I always hesitate when the name Travis Wood comes up, but that doesn't mean he should be ignored Thursday. In his career versus the Pirates he owns a 3.35 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 48.1 innings. Current Pirates' batters are "hitting" .192 off him with a mere two homers in 130 at-bats. Wood also was pretty darn solid last season at home with a 3.39 ERA and .226 BAA.
MOUND MESSES – Starting Pitchers to Avoid
Clay Buchholz. I've only said about 87 times that he's not the pitcher most think he is (and his hair is greasy if you hadn't heard). We'll see if you believe me or not Thursday. In his first outing he allowed 13 hits, two homers and six runs in 4.1 innings, and yes, it looked as bad as those numbers suggest. He faces the Yankees in New York, and last season he killed it in two starts allowing one run in 12 innings there. Who cares? I know I don't.
John Danks. In 18 starts versus Cleveland he is 4-9 with a 5.07 ERA and 1.38 WHIP while allowing 19 homers. I know data from five years ago means nothing, but there is a lot of data here that suggests that Danks is a spotty play at best Thursday.
David Hale. We see a Braves hurler and we're almost conditioned to think that success will follow. Maybe it will with Hale. However, let's be honest with ourselves about the 26 year old. He tossed five shutout innings in his first start but was pulled after just 73 pitches. That's not a high level of confidence from the coach. Last season at Triple-A he had a 6.04 K/9 mark an a 2.14 K/BB ratio. That's not good. He does keep the ball in the yard generating grounders, but this just isn't an elite arm. He takes on the Mets Thursday.
Dallas Keuchel versus the Blue Jays. You really need me to explain this one? Heck, might as well toss in there Tom Koehler too versus the Nationals.
Michael Pineda. I know he's throwing hard and looking good, but he is the great unknown. What does he have to offer at this point? How deep can he go in games? How many innings will he last this season? We'll answer all those questions in time. For now, he's got a tough matchup with the always patient Red Sox. Maybe I'm just a negative Nancy, but one start in 2+ years doesn't signal to me that Pineda is back.

Nine-year-old Jared Kleczka reeled in a huge northern pike from Lake Michigamme Tuesday afternoon.
The fish measured 38 and a half inches long, and weighs 13 pounds. He said he wrestled with the monster fish for just a few minutes before he brought it in.
"Well, I felt this jerk and the line wasn't that tight and it was biting and fighting and it took me like, five minutes to pull it in and me and my dad netted it in that big net," says Kleckza.
Jared also owns bait shop in Champion; home of the Dollar Dozen Minnow, bait he catches by himself.
Not only is Jared a fisherman, he also shot a spike horn buck this past hunting season. He and his father already have another fishing trip planned, this time for salmon, this weekend.

Training employees is obviously a critical part of any business, in any industry. Learning is something that should be ongoing throughout the entirety of one's employment, and life in general. Without evolving knowledge we wouldn't have access to the unlimited amount of resources and great minds that we do, and vice versa.
But, as you know, there are many different types of learning, especially when it comes to corporate training. While self-paced learning is something that continues to generate buzz and excitement, we're here to tell you that self-paced learning just can't teach everything. Because many people are well aware of this, a more blended approach to learning has surfaced that incorporates the best parts of self-paced with the best parts of instructor-led training.
If you aren't convinced that self-paced can't stand alone, then this article is for you. Discover three reasons that self-paced learning can't stand alone or replace ILT in corporate training.

Recently I watched a TED Talk titled, "Why the best hire might not have the perfect resume" by Regina Hartley, who is the Human Resources Manager for UPS.

Even the best communicator can only do so much if he or she doesn't have an eye for building up those underneath him or her. As we move forward with this concept in this post, keep in mind that we are identifying traits of transformational leaders, the ones who are not only able to lead flawlessly, but also build up those around them to eventually do the same.
