A creamy garlic cheese sauce served over rotini and grilled chicken. Submitted by: BLISSFUL_DREAMS
This a remade grilled cheese and french fry meal from any typical restaurant. I love grilled cheese but it typically has no nutritional value as it's just bread and cheese! The beans in this re-made grilled cheese add fiber and protein. The brown mustard adds a glue to cheese and gives the sandwich an unexpected tang! The sweet potatoes are much better than normal white potatoes and they are roasted in the oven instead of deep fried. The nutritional information will change based on the brands you use - I am entering the brands I used obviously!FYI - I've also made this with plain beans that I spiced up myself with a little salsa and mexican spices and then mashed. Feel free to do that if you don't have or like refried beans!Submitted by: LLBEAN75

We just finished doing Illuminated Letters using the resist with the soy
crayons. They worked fine when heavily applied. We've received lots of
compliments on them and most of all the 6th graders wereh very happy with them.
PS- I did the kaliedscope designs with 7th grade a few weeks ago with metallic
pencils on black construction paper. I had them brush acrylic gloss on for a
finish. I was so dissappointed how the black paper bled. Even with a very small
amount showing. I suppose I should spray them all next time.

Phone App Gives Symptoms, Treatments, Denver Area Doctors and ER
Consumers can get health answers on iPhone, Android and Smartphones thanks to Colorado's HealthONE hospitals and iTriage
Healthagen and HealthONE have partnered to provide the Denver metro community with iTriage®, a geo-locator and directory for emergency medical services to help users better prepare for life's unexpected wellness challenges. iTriage is a free medical service designed to:
- Better explain patient medical information
- Improve transparency around price and quality
- Increase access to healthcare facilities best suited for care related to the ailment
HealthONE is one of the first hospital systems nationwide to take advantage of this interactive technology which empowers consumers and allows them to evaluate their symptoms, learn about the possible causes, find appropriate locations for treatment, as well as get cost information based on the type of facility they visit.
How the iTriage Application Works
Say an iTriage user has a headache and wants to know the possible causes. iTriage can provide:
- Description
- Possible causes
- Common symptoms
- Standard work-up (what you should expect the doctor to do)
- Treatment (including the medications and procedures)
Where to seek treatment should your headache not be "just a headache," but an indication of stroke or more serious medical problem.
Not Just for Emergencies
This smartphone application isn't just for emergencies. Users can access the library of symptoms, diseases, procedures, and obtain quality reports on facilities and physicians.
iTriage can be downloaded at the iTunes and Android App stores, and is also available for all web-enabled smartphones and as a desktop application at www.iTriageHealth.com.

Stanley Clark and the Harlem String Quartet Orchestra at Miami Nice Jazz Festival presented by South Miami Dade Arts Center
September 18, 2013 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm| $25 - $46
Event Navigation
Exploding into the jazz world in 1971, Stanley Clarke was among the first bassists in history to master both acoustic and electric bass with equal virtuosity, headline tours and selling out shows worldwide. In addition to his solo career and his innovate film and TV scores, his collaboration with other legends like George Duke, Chick Corea, Jeff Beck and others has expanded the boundaries of contemporary jazz. The Harlem String Quartet, resident ensemble at the New England Conservatory of Music's Professional String Quartet Program, is a cutting-edge modern classical group that proves capable of nailing Clarke's complex charts and demonstrates great capacity for content-rich improvisation.

Kids Rack Up Big Bucks Playing Games on Parents' iPhonesJohn Cave Osborne
I recently read where iPads topped the Christmas wish list for kids between the ages of 6 and 12. You didn't have to scroll too far down to find iPhones mentioned as another gift kids are hoping to unwrap on Christmas morn. And while 6 strikes me as a bit young to be wanting such high-priced electronics, there's little doubt that kids' desire for Apple gadgets will do nothing but soar in the years to come given parents' increasing reliance upon them to keep Junior occupied. Kid-friendly apps frequently buy many such parents some much needed time.
The only problem is that kids have been accidentally buying something else while using those apps, leaving parents staring in disbelief at their credit card statements.
California resident Kelly Rummelhart was one such parent. She recently told Yahoo that her biggest concern in forking over her cell was that her son might scratch the screen. Never in a million years, did she think that he would accidentally buy things. But that's exactly what the 4 year-old did. He racked up nearly 70 bucks on her credit card.
What was he buying? Glad you asked. One bushel and 11 buckets of…Smurfberries, of course. You know, for the game The Smurfs' Village? Though the app can be downloaded for free, it was recently listed as the top-grossing app on iTunes, thanks to gamers purchasing things like Smurfberries, which allow them to "speed up the game," whatever that means.
Good thing the little boy didn't opt for a wheelbarrow of Smurfberries. That would have added an additional $60 to the tab. According to the article:
"Apple introduced 'in-app purchases' last year, letting developers use the iTunes billing system to sell items and add-ons in their games and applications.
"This year, developers have started to use the system in earnest as the main revenue stream for many games. Of the 10 highest-grossing apps in the App Store, six are games that are free to download but allow in-app purchases. Four of those are easy, child-friendly games. Two of them, 'Tap Zoo' and 'Bakery Story,' have buttons for in-app purchases of $100 in just two taps."
Since these add-ons are being purchased through iTunes, one might wonder why a password isn't required to make these transactions. The answer is simple. There is no "password challenge" if that password has been entered within 15 minutes. So for parents who use their password to download a game, then give their phone to their child so he or she can play that game, they're unknowingly giving their kid something else—the ability to add unwanted charges to the credit card associated with their iTunes account.
But let's assume you wait for 15 minutes, then give your iPhone to Junior. Surely you're safe then, right? Sadly, no. Andrew Butterworth of Ontario waited for over 15 minutes before handing his 5 year-old son his iPhone so he could play The Smurfs' Village.
"He came to me all proud and said he'd figured out a way to get all these Smurfberries," said Butterworth. "And as soon as I saw the Smurfberries, I knew that he'd purchased them using my credit card. I was amazed that he'd figured out a way to do it, because I was sure that he would have needed my password."
The damage? $140.
Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller points out that Apple users are able to restrict in-app purchases or turn it off altogether by going to the "Settings" app, then tapping the "General" button, and finally the "Restrictions" option. Apple will also take refund requests. It should be noted that all of the parents contacted in the Yahoo story did, indeed, receive a full refund.
And now that they know how to prevent such purchases from happening in the future, the problem should't arise again.
You know another way to prevent such purchases from happening in the future? Get out some legos and build a tower with your kid instead of relying on your phone to keep him occupied.

Lindsay Lohan, Liz Taylor and pages of "what ifs" for TV's "Liz & Dick"
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Making a movie about Elizabeth Taylor takes courage. Casting wayward starlet Lindsay Lohan as the Hollywood screen legend was both daring and asking for trouble.
And indeed, trouble is what producers got during the shooting of Lifetime TV movie "Liz & Dick" – but they say the payoff made it all worthwhile.
She's got the voice, now Christina Aguilera looks for hits
LOS ANGELES, Nov 13 (Reuters) – Christina Aguilera has the
vocal chops, the look, the strut and millions of new fans thanks
to her stint as a judge on TV singing contest "The Voice."
But can she still sell records?

the female empowerment ballad "Beautiful" more than 10 years
ago, bids to reclaim her status as one of the world's biggest
pop stars with her new album, "Lotus," released on Tuesday.
Klingon goes boldly beyond 'Star Trek' into pop culture
LOS ANGELES, Nov 2 (Reuters) – Why learn French when you

culture where few other alien tongues have gone before.
With a new book about the classic Klingon starship,
Bird-of-Prey, and a Klingon spoof of the "Gangnam Style" music
video racking up millions of views on YouTube, Klingons are
showing a fun side that outstrips their Trekkies fan base.
New "Star Wars" movies – dream come true, or cosmic yawn?
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – For years, it seemed like another "Star Wars" movie was just a dream, stillborn in a galaxy far, far away.

Whitney Houston's family share struggles in TV reality show
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Making a TV reality show may not be the most obvious way to cope with the sudden death of a loved one, but most families don't count an icon like Whitney Houston among their relatives.

NBC breaks TV losing streak, orders more "Revolution"
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – NBC won U.S. television's official premiere week with key viewers for the first time since 2003, and swiftly announced full season orders on Tuesday for three of its new shows.
Boosted by "Sunday Night Football – the nation's most watched program – singing contest "The Voice" and futuristic new drama "Revolution," NBC was first in the 18-49 age group prized by advertisers and showed a 12 percent increase in that demographic compared to the 2011 TV premiere week, Nielsen data showed.
Upsets, drama in store for TV's big Emmy night
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A night of upsets could be on the menu at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, with the countesses and kitchen maids of Britain's "Downton Abbey" bidding to end the reign of television's "Mad Men," while post-9/11 psychological thriller "Homeland" lurks close by.

Masta Deluxe Heavyweight Turnout Blanket, Blue/silver swirls
posted 6 years ago
I bought this blanket on a whim because it was such a bargain, and because it was a pretty color and pattern. Well, I am quite impressed with its quality and durability, and extra features that blankets didn't have when I was first buying them back in the 1970s.
It's a heavyweight winter turnout, so a lot is called for -- anti-chafe fleece at the withers, shoulder gussets, a tail skirt, waterproof outer layer -- but it adds extras. The double-buckle front also has velcro, so it doesn't slip, and the ends of the "belts" slip into keepers, so they are not waving around. The cross-surcingles that go under the belly actually go into reinforced holes near the edges of the blanket. The fabric does not seem to retain dirt the way some of the other horses' blankets do -- and, best part, I can pick him out a mile away, in his sky blue with silver swirls (not like the same-old navy or dark green that a lot of others wear).
This is our third season with the blanket. It did get a rip from an aggressive herdmate, now gone elsewhere, and needed repair, but otherwise exhibits no wear and tear whatsoever. With the exception of the elastic straps for the tail clips -- they stretched out pretty quick. But that is the only flaw.
Finally, a note on fit: I got Tally a really really expensive turnout to begin with (even on sale, it cost two or three times what this one did) and it turned out not to fit him. It must have been made for a slabsided lanky TB and not a round Morgan. But the Masta fits him very well.
Pros: Durable, eye-catching, lots of features
Cons: Elastic tail snaps stretched out

Good for really cold weather.

This is a great blanket. My daughter in law gets in horses that sometimes are very thin. She has two of these and uses them often. I felt under the blanket of a horse that was painfully thin and she was warm and toasty. It was this heavy weight blanket and I will be donating 1 of these to them for their winter season!
Pros: Good for keeping horses warm
Cons: none

Good quality blanket

I don't have to use my heavy weight blanket often, but when I do I'm really glad to have it. I have a difficult time fitting my Arab, but this blanket fits pretty well. Keeps him warm on those cold days.
Pros: Good quality, heavy, fits well
Cons: None

This is a really good foundation. It covers nicely and it leaves a nice, natural finish. I bought this product years ago and after using many other foundations, i decided to go back to this one. I did not remember what foundation color i bought last time but i decided to get Light because my foundations of other brands were also Light. I tried it on and i immediately relized that it was MUCH darker than light. it looked more like a medium. But if you pick the right color then it is an AMAZING foundation and i recommend it.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Green
LOVES: pump bottle for sanitary delivery; natural-looking shades for fair-medium skin colors; light feel on skin; light-medium, buildable coverage; no detectable odor; does not irritate my skin or cause acne.
DEAL-BREAKERS: none
COLOR REFERENCE: I have tricky neutral skin color with both pink and yellow undertones. Kind of similar to the late Princess Diana's English-y Caucasian tone. My skin doesn't tan too easily nor too deeply at all.
I can wear two colors in the LIGHT color spectrum: Nude Beige Light 3.5 (pinker) and Nude Light 4 (yellower). Both look good on me, each highlighting a different undertone in my face. I'm probably more partial to the Nude as it seems to both neutralize the red better and give me a bit of a healthy glow or warmth to my face.
UPDATE: Perfect color match for me: Mix equal parts 3.5 plus 4.0. Apply with makeup sponge.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Tan, Warm
Hair: Brown, Curly, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
Shocked at all the low reviews. I have sensitive skin and have a hard time finding the correct shade. The shade I got in this was perfect. It looks nagural. Not too heavy. Buildable. I love a natural look. Never thought to try this in the past cause of all of the bad reviews. Glad I did.
Edit :1/2/15 I enjoy mixing this with the Mac studio sculpt foundation. Perfect. & I set with cover girl loose powder.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
Oxidized immediately. Highlights my enlarged pores and wrinkles. No staying power, comes off with barely touching my face. Midway through a 12 hour shift (I basically work out for a living) lots of sweating and dirt, it seems to turn into a greasy, filthy mess and what hasn't slipped into your pores, slides down your face. Powder will not save this foundation. Horrible.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Sensitive, Medium Brown, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Kinky, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
Seems like the hunt for the perfect foundation will continue forever. I was frustrated by some really, really bad color matches made for me at the counters of high end brands so I took to the drug store. This foundation is one I hadn't really seen a lot of buzz about but the color looked better than the sample of Double Long Wear I had in my purse so I bought it. It comes in a glass container with a pump and dispenses the product reasonably (neither too much or too little) and I can ease up on the pump action to get just a smidge. Pause here to muse on why some high end foundations don't have such pumps if they can be included on a product which costs a fraction... Anyway, the color Caramel - Dark 2 looked ashy right out of the bottle but not on the skin. The coverage is medium to full and easily built up to full where needed. For the first application I didn't use a bullet-proof pore filling primer and had some orange peely areas which I fixed with a light rub of setting powder. Powder on top of the satin finish was a bit much until I set it with UD Chill setting spray. Despite building it up in some areas and adding powder I wore it comfortably for over 8 hours without once feeling like I had a ton of makeup on. When I looked in the mirror I could see it, if you know what I mean, but not in a horrible way. It doesn't look like skin in the areas you build up but it's a rare foundation that does when its piled on. I had the usual glow about the nose and found a blotter sheet works better than powder to eliminate shine. It did move a bit when I applied my bronzer after the setting powder so I now set it with a setting spray before going on with blush and bronzer. I used a brush but this is the type of foundation you can grab when you want to run out of the house quickly for an errand and need something you can smear on with your fingers. It reminds me of Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 (but isn't as drying) in that respect. Because it moved after it was supposed to have set I wouldn't chance this without at least one pass of setting spray. Pleasantly surprised by this foundation.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure

I bought this foundation a little while ago and only needed one use from it to decide I hated it. I did use it for a little while after that because the drugstore was out of my shade in my normal foundation so I needed a backup until I could get my usual stuff. The lightest shade wasnt light enough for me and it oxidized and turned me orange. It didn't cover up anything really and made my skin dry. The good thing is that it does have a pump, if I remember correctly the pump didn't have a lock on it so if the lid fell off in your makeup bag, it could easily get everywhere. It was also nicely priced but not even worth it.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
yeah the colors are ridiculous ither to pink or orange I got the shade porceline and it oxidized like crazy and this caked up on my dry skin horribly I didn't see any "air brushed" effects just made my pores more noticable and my dry patches stand out like a sore thumb. the ONLY pro is a pump and sturdy glass packaging besides that this is a pretty bad foundation do not reccomend especially for dry skinned girls like me.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I use this as my every day foundation, and I think it is a fair buy. I bought it because what initially "attracted" me to it, was that it isn't supposed to be cakey. I think it really isn't all that cakey, you CAN tell you're wearing foundation, but from a few feet away, you can't tell easily. It does have a sort of natural look to it, and hides redness and acne, I'd still use a concealer though. So those are the good parts, here are the cons: It looks really nice for a few hours, but near the end of the day, it feels a little heavy and starts to come off, so if you rub your face or touch your face (even if it's subconsciously) I still think you'll be fine for 4-6 hours. Also, it seems to run out quickly, my other foundations that I used to wear daily would last me 5-7 months, but this one only lasts about 4, which can be good or bad, depending on your expectations. One last thing, the pump top came off of mine and I put it back on, it keeps popping off, and I can't "lock" it now, however the pump still works.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I bought it at first, because I liked the pump. I also thought that the color (Honey Beige) matched my skin. It does blend well and it's easy to apply. However, I noticed that my skin broke out every time I used it. Needless to say, I stopped using the product.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
What is with Maybelline and their foundations? I swear they cannot be color blind in the development lab because ivory and the other shades are not pink or orange. So why the shade confusion? I swear that every foundation is tinged with those hues or eventually become that on your face. This product is no exception. So, what did I find right about it? The packaging is simple. It blends easily. As far as airbrushed goes, no it didn't make my complexion look pore less. And it was oily in texture. I don't know why cosmetic companies think that dry skinned individuals need to have a ton of oil in their products because they don't. The only reason I wanted to try this was because when I typed in Maybelline foundations for sensitive skin, this came up. I will say it did not irritate my skin but it had no other redeeming qualities either.

Excel training courses are a smart step towards improving a person's working knowledge of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program. Excel is one of the most common spreadsheet applications and is a requirement or recommendation for many job positions. Whether you choose to take an Excel class online from a live instructor or to have an instructor come to your business to teach a group of students, it will improve the students' efficiency and comfort with the system.Microsoft Excel training is available online through Certified Staffing Solutions. There are multiple Excel classes suited to different skill levels, so students who are new to the program can learn the basics and students who already have some knowledge but wish to learn more complex tasks can take an intermediate or advanced level Excel course. The classes can be for Excel 2007, 2010, or 2013.There are two types of classes people can choose from depending on if they are an individual or from a company. In the online Excel training, an instructor guides the group of students through a variety of real world scenarios that they will encounter.

Image of extinct rhino wins editorial cartoon competition
Ha Noi-based Tran Hai Nam was granted the Bamboo Dragon Cup for his Mieng Ghep Nguoc (Upside-down Piece) at the award ceremony yesterday.
The rhino cartoon was made in many parts, with the piece representing the rhino's head placed upside down. It was designed to remind people of the fact that the rhino is now extinct in Viet Nam.
"The pieces are arranged in the wrong way, similar to the way people behave with the environment," said Nam.
"The competition is an interesting playing field for artists, especially for amateur painters who love cartoon like me," he said.
The competition received support from the Danish Embassy through its Cultural Development and Exchange Fund. Danish Ambassador to Viet Nam John Nielsen stressed at the launch of the competition that "cartoons are a humorous way to create interest and raise awareness about critical issues such as the environment".
"The fact that the environment was chosen as this year's theme is very relevant. Viet Nam is facing a number of critical environmental issues due to rapid economic development and the effects of climate change," he said.
Viet Nam is among the countries suffering the most from pollution and environmental damages, making it very important to focus on the problem.
In this context, artists combined humour, caricatures and cartoons to raise awareness about environmental and climate issues.
Launched last November, the organising board received nearly 500 entries from amateur and professional painters throughout the country.
"The jury board was impressed by the creative ideas and diversified expressions of the entrants," said painter Ly Truc Dung, head of the jury.
He gave some examples of daring and unique cartoons such as a fish skeleton in a dirty river reproduced in the style of a masterpiece of Vietnamese fine folk arts depicting a carp watching the moon and wretched Atlas carrying a dirty Earth.
After the award ceremony, an exhibition of the artworks was opened along the pavement in front of 61 Ly Thai To Street, Ha Noi. It will run until April 3.
This exhibit was an initiative of the organising board to bring the works closer to the public, Dung said.
"People who are interested in fine arts and pedestrians walking past will feel free to enjoy the cartoon," he said. "It's a good way to send a message about protecting the environment to the people."
After the opening ceremony, the artworks will be sold to raise money for the Vietnam News Agency's Agent Orange Pain Fund. — VNS

I don't understand what's with the Japanese and their bukkake and gokkun. I mean what's sexy in seeing 40 men abuse a girl by ejaculating on her eyes and nose and ears?
I don't understand what's the deal with the German's and their piss and scat. I mean what's sexy in seeing the body waste which is full of dangerous and toxic bacterias which cause hundreds of diseases and infections?

Maybe that's the problem. You don't understand because you believe it's abuse. If that's all you see, you'll never understand it so don't bother.
Well. First, the piss of a healthy person is sterile. But again. If it isn't your thing, why do you care?

Checkout Carly Parker in American Gokkum 2. She's in over her head as she's repeatedly verbally abused by some of the offscreen sperm donors (it's not-staged). She shouts back at her Hecklers, but Jim Powers keeps screaming at her to keep her mouth opened wide, chin up, head still, etc. She screams back at Jim, "You're an asshole! I can't do this". She threatens to quit 5 or six times, but finishes anyhow. Later she can be seen calling her agent, exclaiming, "This has been the worst day of my life".
Wonder if she got paid her full fee?

Please don't link bukkake and gokkun to scat, piss and other weird disgusting stuff. Cum is an integral part of the sex act, so it's natural to do some creative and edge-pushing stuff with it. I happen to like watching an attractive woman consuming large quantities of cum, in a slow sensuous manner. I want her looking straight into the camera, talking about it, smiling. It's not about a disgusting humiliation of the woman, it's about extreme surrender to lust. I don't care as much for bukkake because she has to close her eyes and it just isn't complete in my mind if she doesn't swallow at least a decent amount of it. There are some vids that include both and they are OK. Unfortunately recent Japanese vids are often going to Bukkake/Pissing instead of Bukkake/Gokkun. I don't understand the fascination with piss or ewww scat. That's the last thing that would get me hard.

Since when was porn supposed to be sexy? People like different things, so what's the big deal?
There's nothing sexy about the cum in the eyes, ears, nose and throat thing. People watch that because it's so "extreme" and want something new to watch. People also watch certain types of porn because it's disgusting or shocking to them.
And it's funny how to describe it as "abuse". Please explain..

I wasn't aware that the germany produced much scat. Is it officially legal there even? I'd assume so.
THe Japanese have produced a lot of scat, but right now only a few companies produce it. Mostly Opera (www.av-opera.jp). The guy who is director there made all the old Wildside DWS titles. Sickest movies ever made, ugh.
Natural High also seems to produce one title every 6 months or so.
As for the most disgusting scat movies, from my understanding the MFX ones are by far the "worst". Unfortunately from what people say on here, the quality varies.
I also disliked how everyone in the world seems to think bukkake was a form of punishment. There is no real way to know if this is true. I sure hope not. I don't blame JM for saying this, since it's only been on a dozen other bukkake websites.
Wow, I can't believe I haven't heard from a single person yet who said "Japanese Bukkake is all faked anyway". Yeah, i'm sure they have fake semen shooting devices attached to every performer!

I'm going to guess it was invented just because of censorship. Back in the day you couldn't even show pubic hair! Some people still think they censor pubic hair, but they don't anymore. I don't know what year they changed this, but my guess was the early 90's.
Really, if you had to censor all your porn, wouldn't you think your country would produce more bukkake? People complain about bukkake and refuse to watch it because it's censored. Why? Big deal. The focus is on the woman's face and not the bukkake scene and not a room full of men jerking off. Some bukkake movies don't even actually have any sex.
I don't know what the first bukkake movie was, but i'd like to know.
I know that in the last 90's there was Shuttle Japan titles. They were 60 minute movies that were rather simple. Women sit down on the floor while 100 men gave her a facial. Later they added the swallowing stuff.
From what i've heard Kazuhiko Matsumoto pretty much invented bukkake and made it popular. I don't know if this is true. He owned MVG aka M's Video Group and even had his own shops selling only his videos in Japan.
Back when they were VHS only you couldn't get them outside of his shops from what i've heard. Did you know that MVG has had several american porn stars in their movies? Peter North was in one of them! Yes, it's true! Another well known american porn star was also in "Countdown Sperm" from MVG. I forget his name. It was just so weird seeing Peter North on the cover of a Japanese movie.
I think the earliest MVG movie was MS-01 from 1995 which is "Fuyu No Jin" or "Fuji No Jin". I don't know the exact name. They had several other titles in that series. From my understanding, his movies were extremely popular in Japan.
They stopped selling movies for probably 10 years and then started back up again recently. When MVG wasn't officially making movies, the director did make some other titles for Dogma, Moodyz and SOD, such as "Semen Race Queens" etc.

Some more theorising....
Bukkake is the noun form of the Japanese verb bukkakeru ('Å'ÁŠ/'¯'é, to dash [water]), and means simply "splash". The compound verb can be decomposed into two verbs: butsu ('Ô'Â) and kakeru (Š/'¯'é). Butsu literally means to hit, but in this usage it appears to be an intensive prefix as in buttamageru ('Ô'Á'½'Ü'°'é, "completely astonished") or butchigiri ('Ô'Á'¿'¬'è, "overwhelming win"). Kakeru in this context means to shower or pour. The word bukkake is often used in Japanese to describe pouring out water (or other liquids) with sufficient momentum to cause splashing or spilling.[4] Indeed, bukkake is used in Japan to describe a type of dish where the toppings are poured on top of noodles, as in bukkake-udon and bukkake-soba.
On pornography websites, it is often claimed that the bukkake practice had its origins in a Japanese custom where adulterous women were ejaculated on and/or urinated on repeatedly in public. While often repeated in porn circles, there are no references that this has any basis in reality.
It is to be assumed that a significant factor in the development of bukkake as a pornographic art form was the mandatory censorship of genitalia (porn mosaic) in Japan. Since the directors could not show penetration they sought new, visually-appealing ways to approach sex acts that would satisfy the audience without violating Japanese law. Semen was not required to be censored, thus creating a loophole for harder sex scenes.
and here is the sociology theory.....
Some have described bukkake as a fetish culture beyond sex. Some authors claim that bukkake is symbolic group rape, and its primary purpose is the humiliation, degradation and objectification of women. [7] It has also been called a "ritualized humiliation of someone who evokes resentment" and an expression of male loss of control due to the reality of increasing gender equality.[4].[8]
Tastes so good...

Award-winning cowboy music headliners Riders in the Sky, Hot Club of Cowtown and the Saddle Cats are among those performing Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 3 to 5 at the fourth annual Genoa Cowboy Festival in Genoa, Nev.
"The Cowboy Festival promotes the cowboy way and the unique history and culture of Carson Valley," said Brian K. Williams, who, with Dave Whitgob, co-chair the three-day event's steering committee, aided by a team of dedicated local volunteers.
The Grammy-winning Riders in the Sky performed in "Toy Story 2" and wrote the film's music.
"Besides their 7:30 p.m. Saturday concert," said Williams, "they're going to do a special family show at 5 p.m. and perform their 'Toy Story' music."
Tickets are $30 for the main concert and $25 for the family concert. The band is joined by the Reno Brass Quintet and cowboy poet Ken Gardner.
Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown, which has brought its particular brand of western swing to audiences all over the world, opens the Cowboy Festival on Friday at 7 p.m., along with cowboy poet Waddie Mitchell, 2012 recipient of the Nevada Heritage Award, and five-time Male Performer of the Year guitarist-singer Dave Stamey.
On Sunday, at 1 p.m. the Saddle Cats, winners of the Will Rogers Cowboy Award for Western Swing Group of the Year, will perform its special blend of cowboy ballads, blues, honky-tonk and other music. They are joined by 2013 Best Solo Musician of the Year, Mary Kaye and her band.
Other festival entertainers include saloon piano player David Bourne, Cowboys by Night, and the honky-tonk trio Slade Rivers Band.
Also performing are Virginia City-born singer and poet Richard Elloyan, Gardnerville's own All Hat No Cattle and cowboy poet Tony Argento.
The Native American Historic and Cultural Center features artisans, crafts vendors, and presentations about Great Basin tribes and activities ranging from flint knapping to tribal dancing.
Specialists will demonstrate bygone skills in blacksmithing, leather carving, Dutch oven and chuck wagon cooking, and the legacy of the vaquero.
There will also be displays by muzzle loaders and fast-draw artists.
"We have ranch tours, Dutch oven and chuck wagon cooking demonstrations, western dancing, Chautauqua presentations, shootouts, and cemetery ghost tours, in addition to music and poetry," Whitgob said.
"Among the biggest draws are McAvoy Layne as Mark Twain and Kit Carson played by Dick Clark. This year, special presenters are Glenn Ford's son Peter Ford, who discusses his father's western films, and Cheryl Rogers, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' daughter. She explores her parents' careers with the films "In His Own Words" (by Roy) and "Dale Evans: A Most Remarkable Woman," Whitgob added.
Visitors won't go hungry. Food vendors dish up their specialties in the cowboy corral tent, including a traditional chuck wagon dinner on Friday and the ever famous Basque dinner, both of which will be serving hearty grub at the fire station. A Cinco de Mayo brunch is offered Sunday, presented by the Minden Rotary.
Shoppers can choose from a wide assortment of western goods. Hats, apparel, boots and belts, collectibles, and gear as well as work by fine artists and craftsmen are available at various locations on Main Street.
Passes to daytime events are $15 for adults for one day, $10 for kids 12 and under. A three-day pass is $30 for adults, $15 for kids. Concert tickets are $25 and $30. Event packages include entrance to all concerts and day events for $95.

When a friend of mine informed me that he would no longer shop at Wal-Mart because he believed the store was guilty of stocking books with only one political point of view, my immediate reaction was to support his decision. But after a few hours of mulling over his position and trying to confirm the allegation, I realized that this is not such a simple black and white issue.
My search came up with only a few instances of Wal-Mart banning anything. One was a book by Jon Stewart, but only because of what they deemed to be an offensive picture on its cover. Another was an accusation that Wal-Mart had banned Christmas.
"A Catholic advocacy group has launched a national boycott against Wal-Mart, claiming the world's number one retailer has in effect 'banned' Christmas, while promoting other seasonal holidays such as Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. But Wal-Mart tells WorldNetDaily it has 'absolutely not' banned Christmas, but is just trying to serve all our customers for the holiday season.'" (source: WorldNetDaily.com)
There was also an article about how Wal-Mart stopped carrying magazines such as Hustler and others due to customer complaints but I could not find anything about limiting its stock of books based on politics.
So, I went to the Wal-Mart website. I was surprised to find many titles from both the Right and the Left, including Nancy Pelosi's, Know Your Power, and Barack Obama's, A Change We Can Believe In. This is not to imply that store managers who may choose not to stock a narrower selection of books based on their geographical demographics and local market do not exist. The corollary question is: how do we react to retailers who limit our choice of reading materials?
In a free and open market, retailers are the sole arbiters of what is placed on the shelves of their stores. Customers are the sole arbiters of what and where they choose to buy. For instance, a few years ago, I chose to cancel my subscription to a particular local newspaper because I objected to their mindless editorials and lack of journalistic integrity. At that time, there was not much in the way of competition for the newspaper but I felt that TV news and rumors were about as satisfying and valid as what I had been reading. The commercial book market is quite different. There are so many outlets for books, both in stores and online, that I do not feel deprived of options by one or even several retailer's stock choices.
I am well aware that the Wal-Mart business model is considered by many to be destructive to Main Street, USA. Because they deal in enormous volume, they can cut prices far below those of traditional mom and pop retail stores. The trend for the past few decades has been moving toward big box stores for low-end customers and boutique shops that cater to the more affluent. We can nostalgically pine for the old days of butcher shops and haberdashers but the hard reality is that blue-collar working folks are going to spend their limited funds where they can get the best value. I should at this point acknowledge that my wife and I shop regularly at Wal-Mart, primarily because we live on my retirement and her teacher's salary. We would very much prefer to patronize local vendors but the money we save shopping cheap allows us to donate to our favorite charities. Such is the dilemma many folks like us face.
There is one more consideration that I thought was worth mentioning. For the sake of argument, let's assume Wal-Mart is guilty of selling only books that adhere to their owner's political views. Would or should we consider a retailer who values profit over their political convictions to be a better citizen? Can we disagree with an individual's point of view and still give him our business? If you still shop at a local boutique shop, do you know the proprietor's politics? Should that matter?
I never thought I would ever be in a position to defend Wal-Mart and I hope this does not come off as an apology for the corporation. However, they are part of the mix of our modern system of commerce. Though we may not like them very much, they do fit the model of American Capitalism, which is to win customers through competition in an open market. I would not fault anyone who, after considering all of the above, chooses to boycott Wal-Mart. Neither would I fault anyone who continues to shop there. How we allow our political views to affect our buying behavior is a decision each of us needs to make without recrimination or condescension from others.

Uncertain of her unborn child's paternity, ballet dancer Chloe takes her only option: She marries one of the potential fathers, carpenter Daniel Bennett. The other, Dr. Evan Cutler, comes to the ceremony, but Chloe's never sure why -- and the playboy is a constant irritant throughout the Bennett marriage. Chloe's not unfaithful in deed until late in the game, but by then, it doesn't matter. What she and Daniel have shared is tainted -- perhaps irreparably. Even a long-overdue DNA test may not save their relationship, but Chloe's determined to try. Joan Kilby's When Love Is True (4) features a trio of flawed, very human characters and an extremely dramatic, involving conflict.

Rabbi Silber's welcome
Dear Friends,
The Torah in Shemos states: "V'ASU LI MIKDASH V'SHACHANTI B'SOCHUM; Make for Me a Temple and I will dwell within you."
Although we have not yet merited the Third Temple, we are incredibly fortunate to have a beautiful, holy and incredibly special מקדש מעט (small Temple) ; our own Suburban Orthodox Congregation Toras Chaim. We are a strong Shul of over 300 families made up of all ages and backgrounds. We are a Shul that takes special pride in creating a meaningful atmosphere for prayer and Torah learning.
We offer multiple opportunities for Shiurim, classes and lectures as well as extensive youth programming and community chessed activities. The State of Israel has a special place in our communal heart. We see its miraculous formation just 60 short years ago as the dawn of the Messianic era. Ultimately, we believe that what makes our people unique is the ability to forge a special and unique bond with הקדוש ברוך הוא and our Shul provides us with multiple opportunities to accomplish this noble objective.
Until the day when we are blessed with the Third Temple, we will continue to use our מקדש מעט as our portal of connection to God and to each other.
Kol Tuv,
Rabbi Shmuel Silber

Recently, I participated in the panel on Internet of Things (IoT) security as part of the Automation Perspectives media event hosted by Rockwell Automation, just prior to Automation Fair 2015 in Chicago. It is clear that the ability to deal effectively with security threats is the No. 1 make-or-break factor for IoT adoption. With this reluctance to implement IoT, companies will not benefit from the growing number of powerful IoT use cases that are emerging across all industries, which includes the digital revolution in manufacturing, where there is an identified 12.8 percent profit upside over three years for manufacturers that digitize.
IoT is now part of the very fabric of industry and the public infrastructure, including such essential services as transportation, the power grid, the water supply, and public safety. When these systems are compromised, the damage can go far beyond financial loss. Some examples in years following the Great Recession:
- 2008 – A 14-year-old Polish boy hacked a local tram system, disrupting traffic, derailing trams, and injuring 12 passengers
- 2009 – Due to a failure in the automated control system, a Washington D.C. Metrorail train struck the rear of a stopped train, resulting in death and injury
- 2014 – An overflow of wastewater at a water treatment plant was due to suspected unauthorized employ access
In recent years, there have also been hacks on nuclear power plants, transportation systems, and connected cars. No one wants their company to show up on the front page of the paper as a cyberattack victim. In addition to the physical impacts, attack vectors on IoT security can cause losses that are less immediately perceptible—but very real and lasting—including downtime, brand damage, breach of trust, and theft of intellectual property.
