Three of my frat buddies take turns fucking this hot, bearded bottom, Sebastian. He can usually handle a long dicking session. But my buddies wore him out, so they turned on one of the cameramen. They hold Ayden down while Jackson fucks him with his super-sized fatty. Sebastian is lying on the floor jerking off and Jackson, MJ, and Krys each take their turn spilling their spunk all over him. Sebastian pumps one out, too, and by that time Jackson and MJ are ready to splooge again. We had to hose Sebastian down in the shower!

Easy Whole-Grain Crepes
This basic recipe makes a tasty wrap for any type of filling. In this method, we fold the crepe into a square leaving a little "window" in the middle to show off what's inside, but you can simply roll the crepe over a filling or fold it in half. Try lightly sweetened ricotta and a drizzle of apricot jam inside or, for a savory crepe, fill the crepes with sautéed spinach, mushrooms and garlic.Yield: 6 crepes
Active Time: 25
Total Time: 55
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, preferably white whole-wheat (see Tip)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 2 teaspoons canola oil or melted butter
- 1/2 cup seltzer water
- Process whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar (for sweet crepes), salt, eggs, milk and oil (or butter) in a blender or food processor until smooth, scraping the sides once or twice. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Slowly whisk seltzer into the batter. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/3 cup batter into the center of the pan; immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread evenly over the bottom.
- Cook until the underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a heatproof silicon or rubber spatula, lift the edge, then quickly grasp the crepe with your fingers and flip. Cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Slide onto a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan as needed and stacking crepes as you go. If the pan begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium. As you prepare your filling, cover crepes with a clean kitchen towel or keep warm in a 200°F oven.
- To assemble, place a crepe on a clean cutting board. Spread a filling of your choice in the center, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border. Fold in the sides to make a square shape, leaving a "window" in the center. Press down on the corners, as necessary, to help keep the crepe folded.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the batter through Step 1 and refrigerate for up to 12 hours; refrigerate crepes between sheets of wax paper and wrapped in plastic for up to 2 days.
- Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer.

What is in this article?:
- 100-bushel soybean barrier broken in Arkansas.
- Nelson Crow farms in southeast Arkansas, west of Winchester.
- Crow explains how he managed crop, takes reader through the growing season.
NELSON CROW, WHO farms west of Winchester, Ark., is the first farmer in the state to harvest 100-bushel soybeans.
The 100-bushel soybeans were harvested in a 40-acre block of a 200-acre field. The other 160 acres averaged 85 bushels.
"That's still a great yield," says Crow. "But that 40 acres had plants that were healthier, they kept leaves on five or six days longer. They looked greener.
"It's hard to put your finger on it, but I think that second shot of fungicide in combination with the cool temperatures really bumped the yields. Truth is, we weren't even planning on trying for the yield trial. If that was the plan, I should have put (molybdenum) on the seed since the field has a relatively low pH. I think we left some yield on the table, actually."
Koen points to the importance of fungicides. "A while back, fungicides were used mainly on seed beans. The seed companies didn't require it but highly recommended it because it improved seed quality.
"As a consultant in those days, we got to noticing the seed beans were out-yielding the production beans. We were getting a pretty good yield bump from the fungicides."
What was learned from the seed bean business "is even in the absence of visual disease, we can improve soybeans by optimizing plant health."
Crow credits BASF's Priaxor, a combination of Headline and Xemium. Xemium, he says, "is really good on aerial web blight. With Headline able to work on frogeye, Priaxor deals with two of the toughest soybean diseases we deal with."
He also says another benefit of Priaxor is after application the canopy is actually cooler than without the product. "That's a huge deal. If we can keep the canopy cooler, it's worth spraying just for that benefit. Keeping the plants cooler means extra yield."
Crow's farm contains a wide range of soils but "that 200 acres are some of the best on the farm. We used to harvest three-bale cotton on it."
As for the Pioneer variety, "we've actually grown 80-bushel beans with it before. I knew it would do well, although the 100 bushels was a surprise. Turned out, we had three-bean pods from the bottom of the plants all the way to the top. I didn't see one-bean or two-bean pods on any of those plants. And clusters of seven or eight pods were consistent. It was amazing!"
Irrigation was also key, says Koen. "We deal with operations that have trouble getting irrigation right. Some water too much, some not enough, some have a hard time getting water on and off a field. You know, getting water on and off is almost as important as irrigation frequency. A bean can't sit in water."

Bitten by the big-yield bug, Crow vows to try something similar next year.
"I've been thinking about what to do. What varieties? What fields to plant? Maybe try using some chicken litter like Kip Cullers up in Missouri?
"Of course, I'll plant this Pioneer variety again. I'd love to just be consistent with such high yields and I'm considering what fields to try this on."

Mr. Clooney Goes to Washington
Earlier this afternoon, actor/director/two-time Sexiest Man Alive George Clooney stopped by the White House to speak with President Barack Obama about his recent trip to Sudan. He was joined by John Prendergast of the Enough Project, an initiative to end genocide.
Clooney, who was dressed in a dark navy suit, told the gathered press that he was asking the President and the larger world community to use their influence and "real, robust diplomacy" to help stave off the possibility of a north-south civil war that many fear will follow next January's vote on the south's independence.
The African's country's north and south have previously fought two civil wars, totaling a period of 43 years of warfare. The most recent civil war lasted from 1983 to 2005, and reportedly resulted in the loss of 2 million lives.
At one point, Clooney said, "We're not policy makers, we're just megaphones" – a point that was underscored by the number of cameras and reporters (not to mention assorted passersby) who gathered to hear him speak.
After the meeting, he told reporters:
"I don't think at this point there is any discussion in sending troops into South Sudan. Right now we have 90 days to do this and it doesn't cost a dime and it doesn't cost any lives and no American troops. You know, this is not a right or left issue as you well know, I've worked with Sam Brownback before, we're going to go meet with Senator Lugar in a few minutes, so the truth of the matter, at this moment, there's an opportunity here to negotiate this. To negotiate a peace treaty is complicated and it's difficult, and it's negotiating with people you don't necessarily like or you don't necessarily get along with. This administration seems committed to it, and we have to focus on that right now rather than focusing on the idea of the aftermath. I'd rather, I'd rather us prevent one than focusing on the triage at the end."

The companies responsible for the development and publishing of "Battlefield 4" are currently seeking more feedback from the community. According to a report from Game Informer on Jan. 5, fans are being asked to rate first-person shooter by Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment and Electronic Arts.
Players are apparently getting an email surveying how much they enjoy "Battlefield 4" on a scale from 0 to 10. The questionnaire then asked participants who rated the software product low about what features they want to be improved upon. Those who gave the video game a high score are inquired to write a review.
The fourth main installment of the "Battlefield" franchise received many favorable reviews from the press. Unfortunately, the first-person shooter has been plagued by many crashing and connection issues, especially on the PS4 next-generation system, when it came out to the general public. As a result, many fans ended up feeling disappointed with the release.
Both Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment and Electronic Arts appeared to be taking the criticisms seriously. The aforementioned email suggested that the two companies may be planning to improve the end user experience of "Battlefield 4."
The first-person shooter was launched on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 first on Oct. 29. It was also a part of the PS4's launch lineup on Nov. 15 in addition to coming out alongside the Xbox One on Nov. 22. You can take a look at the first-person shooter in the slideshow to the left of this article.

With summer comes bikinis. With bikinis come pool parties. With pool parties come barbeques. With barbeques come guacamole, salsa, bean dip, wings, pigs in a blanket, egg salad, and worst of all, beer. Annnnnd that brings us back to the bikinis. With all that food throwing itself into our mouths like some sort of sacrificial summer offering, we need help saying "no". The David Kirsch Pre-Party Nosh-Nixing Kit ($125) gives us the strength to walk away from all those glorious appetizers by filling our bellies with less caloric protein shakes. We pre-game with a big bottle of water and a test tube of Thermo Bubbles, creating a sparkling beverage that boosts metabolism and ignites our energy. And to maintain our girlish figure throughout the week, we slurp down some of the Vitamin Super Juice with our tuna and avocado salad at lunch. With a some restraint, willpower, and this kit, we'll keep our beach bods far into fall.

Applications for field trips are accepted. (Formerly known as PASS applications.)
LCC Program Guidelines (PDF)
The postmark deadline for applications is October 15
Priority is given to Agawam based applicants.
a) ACC Non-Dependency --
Because local council funding is not intended to be used as the sole source of funding for projects of a continuing nature, we encourage funding from other sources. In the first year of a particular program, we may elect to give a large grant. Over time, however, the percentage of the project budget coming from the ACC is expected to decrease. A good rule of thumb is that if the same project has been funded by the ACC at the same level for three years in a row, it violates the non-dependency criteria. When we say same project, we mean that the project has no differences or variations from year to year. A project may appear to be the same, but if it has a different theme, different people involved, or serves a different audience, it would not be considered to be the same project.
b) Applicants must have a Local Partner / Venue in Agawam. (A partial list of possible sponsoring venues in Agawam can be found here.)
c) Artists/applicants are not eligible during consecutive years.
d) The Agawam Cultural Council will also entertain grant requests to cover ticket and transportation costs for field trips for school-age children from schools and youth groups.
Must applicant be a town resident? No
May institutions as well as individuals apply? Yes
Should an applicant have a local or institutional sponsor? Yes
Must the event be open to the public? Yes (Exceptions -- such as schools or nursing homes.)
Must the project have a specified date? No
May the project have an estimated date? Yes
Must the project have a specified location or venue? Yes (Applications without an arranged venue may go unfunded)
Is a letter of support from a sponsoring institution required? Yes
Is a sample of the artist's work required? Yes
Are multiple copies of application form required? No (only 1 required to submit)
Are additional copies of supporting presenter's resumes required? No (only 1 required)

Brandy Manning begins his first season as an associate head coach after serving as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for four years for Arizona women's basketball. He also works with Arizona's defense, post players, opponent scouting and player development.
Widely considered as one of the top up and coming assistant coaches in the nation, Manning joined the Arizona coaching staff prior to the 2008-09 season after spending one season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Central Florida.
"Brandy Manning is one of the most driven and dedicated coaches and people I know," head coach Niya Butts said. "His commitment is second to none and I appreciate his recruiting efforts. He does things most coaches don't think to do or make the time to do. I know the University of Arizona will also appreciate his efforts in the coming years because of the job he does recruiting and the players he's able to bring in. He's also outstanding at player development and working with our post players. He's an absolute pleasure to work with."
In four seasons with UA, Manning has been part of a coaching staff to lead Arizona to its first postseason appearance since the 2004-05 season. During the 2011-12 season, Arizona's 11-1 start was the best in program history since the 1999-2000 season. The Cats beat UCLA twice, the first a 74-66 victory at McKale Center on Jan. 5 and the second a Pac-12 Tournament 61-57 win on March 7. The January win marked UA's first over the Bruins since 2006-07 and the first in Tucson since 2004-05.
Overall, the Wildcats improved from 12 wins in 2008-09, to 14 wins in 2009-10, to 21 wins in 2010-11. In Pac-10 play, Arizona improved from four wins in 2008-09, to six wins in 2009-10, to 10 wins in 2010-11.
The Wildcats' 10-8 conference record for the 2010-11 season is their best since the 2004-05 campaign and their 21 wins overall is the most since the 2003-04 season. The 2010-11 season marked the highest finish in the Pac-10 for Arizona (fourth), since tying for the Pac-10 regular-season crown in 2004.
With a solid recruiting reputation already intact, Manning defended his status by securing a deep and talented crop of players for head coach Niya Butts and the Wildcats. Adding the services of Davellyn Whyte, the 2010 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, after being chosen the 2009 Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year, Manning has spearheaded the efforts to sign every player on the 2012-13 roster.
Manning was responsible for an impressive recruiting feat at UCF in his first season. With less than two months to assemble a recruiting class, he recruited eight players who were widely responsible for leading the Knights to the 2009 and 2011 Conference USA Championship and UCF's first NCAA Tournament appearance in 10 years.
Manning joined UCF from Murray State (Ky.), where he helped the Racers to a 21-10 record and a bid in the 2007 Women's National Invitation Tournament, marking just the second-ever postseason appearance for the program.
Manning spent two years as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Louisville from 2003-05. During that time, the Cardinals posted a record of 42-19 and advanced to the 2005 Conference USA Championship game. Louisville earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2005 after participating in the WNIT the season prior.
Manning, a native of Stockton, Calif., graduated from Clark Atlanta in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. He also holds a master's degree in education from Louisville. He and his wife, Nakaya, have sons Brandyn and Quintyn.

Astounding amount of content. 60 languages offered. Proficiency test included.
Long lessons. Few natural break points. Less structured than some other programs.
Bottom Line
Web-based language-learning program Transparent Language Online offers seemingly endless ways to study and practice a new language. It's a great option for self-directed learners, with programs in 60 languages.
Learning a language takes a lot of work, dedication, time, and resources. One company that has been developing a wealth of resources for language learners across a variety of uses, such as business and travel, is Transparent Language. All this dedication shows in its personal online learning program called Transparent Language Online. Language learners will find oodles of content to explore, from flashcard-like drills to alphabet primers and more. Not every activity is a shining star of pedagogical prowess, but the content is exhaustive and gives self-directed learners excellent resources. I say "self-directed" learners because it doesn't have as much structure as Rosetta Stone, PCMag's Editors' Choice among paid programs, or Duolingo, our Editors' Choice for free programs. Both Rosetta Stone and Duolingo are better at guiding you at exactly what to do each day, whereas with Transparent, the learning schedule is left entirely up to you. But with programs in 60 languages, a plethora of content, and a competitive price, Transparent Language Online is among the best software for learning a language.
//Compare Similar ProductsCompare
Price and What's Included
Transparent Language Online is competitively priced. An annual subscription for personal use costs $199.95 up front. If you'd rather not commit to 12 months, you can pay $29.95 per month instead. Transparent does offer a six-month subscription plan for $149.95 up front, which doesn't seem worthwhile, given the cost of the annual package.
Transparent Language Online gives you unfettered online access to the language program of your choice. It does not include e-tutoring classes. Transparent does offer online classes, but they are sold as separate programs.
As a point of comparison, Living Language has a Platinum package for $179, which gives you one year of access to the online course for the language of your choice, plus 12 e-tutoring sessions. The e-tutoring, or webinar-style classes, give this particular package so much value. Head-to-head, I think Transparent has slightly better structure and content for beginners, but the e-tutoring classes are excellent, especially if you've had some exposure to a language before and need to practice speaking and listening with another human being.
A similar one-year package from Rosetta Stone has a much more expensive list price of $299, but discounts are the norm, and so it regularly sells for $199. That's equal to what Transparent charges. If you're brand new to a language or aren't good with self-directed learning, it's definitely the program I recommend.
Audio lessons from Pimsleur, called Pimsleur Complete, cost $119 for lessons 1 through 30 as MP3 downloads.
As mentioned, Duolingo is 100 percent free, and it's very good but only in the few languages that are fully released. Mango Languages may be free if your library offers membership. Otherwise it's $20 per month.
Languages Offered
Not counting programs for learning English, and not counting transliterated versions separately, Transparent Language offers language learning in 60 languages. In the following list of language programs offered by Transparent, an asterisk means a separate version is available for a fully transliterated program: Albanian, Altai*, modern standard Arabic*, Armenian*, Azerbaijani, Bashkir*, Belorussian*, Bulgarian*, Chechen, Chinese (Mandarin, simplified), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dari*, Dutch, Estonian, Farsi*, Finnish, French, German, Greek*, Haitian Creole, Hawaiian, Hebrew*, Hindi*, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese*, Kazakh*, Korean*, Kurdish/Kurmanji, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian*, Malagasy, Malay, Norwegian, Pashto*, Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian, Portuguese (European), Romanian, Russian*, Serbian*, Slovak, Spanish (Latin American), Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai*, Turkish, Turkmen, Tuvan*, Urdu*, Vietnamese, Yorub, and Zulu.
Only a few competitors offer anywhere near to as many languages, and I only know of one that beats it: Mango Languages, which offers programs in 63 languages. The languages that Mango and Transparent offer overlap a little, but not entirely. For example, in Mango, you can find Bengali, Cherokee, Icelandic, Igbo, Javanese, Latin, Punjabi, Scottish Gaelic, Tamil, Telugu, and Yiddish, but not Bashkir, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Chechen, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Yorub, or Zulu. That's not a comprehensive list of their differences, but only a slice.
If you buy a $20 per month membership with Mango, you get access to all the programs in all the languages, which sounds enticing, even though it's unrealistic you'd study more than one or two languages at a time. Many libraries let patrons get a Mango account, however, so sometimes it's free.
Pimsleur Comprehensive has 49 language programs, and the content is excellent, but it's almost all audio-based. If you prefer an interactive experience, look elsewhere. If you're hoping to learn while, say, commuting everyday while driving, then it's perfect.
Editors' Choice Rosetta Stone, has courses for 27 languages, not counting programs for English or British English. Duolingo, our Editors' Choice among free language-learning programs, has lessons in 20 languages, but half of those are still in beta or being "hatched." Anyone is welcome to participate in the program's development by using it to learn, as Duolingo is largely crowd-sourced, but beware. Bugs and errors are common in language programs that are not yet fully released.
Structure and Daily Learning
Whenever I test a language-learning app, I prefer to try at least two languages: one that I have never studied before, and one that I know to at least some degree. In the past, I've used Transparent to study German (some familiarity) and Russian (no familiarity). This time I tried Urdu (no familiarity), and I poked around again in the German program.
For a language like Urdu, which uses different characters than English, you choose either a native or transliterated program. If you choose native, there are many places where you can enable transliteration, so it's not a strictly either/or proposition.
One of the most-important things to consider about Transparent Language Online is the fact that it's Web-based. If you buy traditional shrink-wrapped software and slack off learning for a month or two, you can always go back to your course. With an online course, your time is limited, which for some people can be highly motivating: You've paid for access to this program, and you're determined to get your money's worth before it expires! For those lacking in self-motivation, 365 days could slip by faster than you realize.
Transparent Language Online has so much content, it's easy to use it for a week and still find more modules that you never noticed before. You get a schedule of lessons, called My Learning Path, on a dashboard. For Urdu and other languages with new characters or a different writing system than English, the very first lessons are about the alphabet, which is not only helpful, but necessary. It's the kind of basic skill development that's crucial but other language-learning programs, namely Mango, overlook entirely.
Once I had a handle on the writing, which took more than a day, I started to learn some words and phrases in Lesson 1.
Transparent Language Online nestles activities within lessons within units, very similar to Rosetta Stone and a host of other products. How quickly you complete lessons and units is up to you. With Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur, the program recommends you complete a certain amount of material every day (it amounts to about 30 minutes per day in both programs). I like that clear guidance. Duolingo helps you decide how many lessons you should complete each day by asking you to set up a goal. It pays attention to your goal and cheers you on every time you reach or exceed it. With Transparent, how much you complete each day is up to you.
It's hard to put my finger on what exactly is the reason, but with Transparent, I find it easier to quit in the middle of a lesson than with Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, or even Pimsleur. Perhaps the lessons are too long (they've been taking me about an hour to complete) or they don't have natural break points built into them. In Duolingo, the lessons are much shorter, taking maybe ten minutes each, so there are more natural opportunities to stop. In Rosetta Stone, you get a very clear picture of where you are in the lessons at all times, so it's easy to visualize how much time you have left until you reach your end point for the day. Transparent has progress markers, but they're used a little differently. You only see a progress bar for the current exercise module at a time. To see your progress toward completing a whole lesson, you have to have finished the current set of exercises. It's a minor design point, really, but for me, it led to quitting in the middle rather frequently.
To give you an idea of the amount of content in a Unit, German has five lessons and one assessment in Unit 1. For Urdu, Unit 2 contains three lessons and an assessment, so it varies. From your dashboard, you can view the contents of any particular lesson, but all it shows is a list of words and phrases you're supposed to master in that section.
I was able to bang out an entire lesson in one sitting, but it took more than an hour. That should give you a sense of how much content you might find just in the main learning area. Beyond that, you'll find two sections on your dashboard called Learned and Practice that let you quickly dive into more drills to strengthen your learning.
Along the top of the dashboard are tabs for Resources and Classes. Beneath Resources, I found a word-of-the-day section, links to language communities on Facebook, links to YouTube videos, and, well, a lot more content to explore. I liked the word-of-the-day area in particular, but didn't want to get too distracted from my main learning program. That's one problem with having a lot of content: It's easy to get sucked into something that's not necessarily pertinent to cognition and retention.
The Resources section also contains a proficiency test that helps you figure out where to start if you've had prior experience with a language. It's exceptionally helpful for people who pay for a language-learning program and spend an entire day figuring out where to begin for their skill level.
The Learning Approach
Let me reiterate that being a self-directed learner really helps in getting the most out of Transparent Language Online. You work at your own pace, skipping units or lessons if you want. A lot of the correct/incorrect scoring is self-identified. Cheating is a cinch. You can use the program for eight hours a day every day, or once a week for 15 minutes. Pretty much everything is at your discretion. Personally, I prefer more structure, but not everyone does.
Most of the learning content in Transparent Language Online hit the sweet spot for me in terms of giving me enough time to remember a new word or grammar tip, and then asking me to put it to use. If you work through the activities in order, you'll jump from listening, to reading, to writing, to speaking at a good clip. The writing activities in particular solidified some of the things I had learned earlier in a lesson. For example, you might see flashcards teaching the German phrase "Entschuldigen Sie" (a polite way to say, "excuse me") and then a few activities later, you'll be asked to type the phrase for "excuse me." When you key the letter 's' in the German writing activities, the system asks whether you want an 's' or 'ß' (sharp s), and you can choose it on screen or by typing the number that appears alongside it. You don't have to learn any complicated keyboard tricks. Learning a language is hard enough as it is.
I'll echo that sentiment for Urdu, too. When it comes time to write, you can choose a simplified version that gives you multiple-choice options instead of looking at an entire keyboard of a new alphabet. If you're up for the challenge, though, Transparent will display an entire Urdu keyboard on your screen, and you can make your selections. (Good luck with that! It was way too tough for me.)
Transparent Language Online has some speech recording functionality that's much more advanced than it was in the past. You'll hear a word, see its waveform from a native speaker, and then you'll be asked to record yourself saying it. After a short processing period, maybe two or three seconds, the program will rate your response and highlight areas where it sees a need for improvement. You can try the same word over and over until you like the results, or just forge ahead. Transparent doesn't block you from advancing if you don't do well with pronunciation.
Final Word
Transparent Language Online gives self-directed learners an abundance of tools and resources for learning a new language or brushing up on one that's out of use. At $199 per year, the price is just a little more expensive than Living Language, and the same as what you can expect to pay for one year of Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone has a more deductive learning technique, however, and more structure, part of what makes it our Editors' Choice among paid language-learning programs. Duolingo is our Editors' Choice for free language-learning programs, and I highly recommend using it first if your language is one of the ten that's fully supported. Transparent offers many more languages than Rosetta Stone and Duolingo combined, so it's a good bet for languages that are less in demand.

If "The Deer Hunter" had starred Charles Bronson instead of Robert De Niro, and had ended not with a somber a cappella version of "God Bless America" but with an orgy of bloody vigilante justice, it might have looked something like "Out of the Furnace," among the bleakest motion pictures to appear in American theaters since Bronson stopped making death wishes come true.
Scott Cooper's sophomore effort behind the camera stars Christian Bale as Russell Baze, a working stiff from Braddock, Pa., a steel town a short barge ride down the Monongahela from Pittsburgh. Like De Niro in "The Deer Hunter," Russell is the rugged, bearded type who assumes paternalistic responsibility for a war veteran with a nihilistic case of PTSD. Here, the troubled vet is his younger brother, Rodney, played by Casey Affleck in a variation of Christopher Walken's "Deer Hunter" role, although this time it's bare-knuckle boxing, not Russian roulette, that's the self-destructive vice of choice.
Rodney's in debt to seedy bar owner/fight promoter John Petty (the surprisingly benevolent Willem Dafoe) for ineptly playing the ponies on borrowed cash and stubbornly refusing to throw fixed fights. Petty's in debt to backwoods ruffian Harlan DeGroat (the predictably crazy Woody Harrelson), partly because of Rodney's inability to take a dive. Russell, meanwhile, is just trying to make an honest buck when he has one too many and lands in jail for vehicular homicide. If that's not grim enough for you, Russell's father dies while he's in the slammer and his girlfriend (Zoe Saldana) gets knocked up by the local police chief (Forest Whitaker), a no-nonsense cop who provides minimal help when Rodney runs afoul of DeGroat after a particularly brutal fight in the Ramapo Mountains of northern New Jersey.
Bale is at the top of his game, particularly in his handful of scenes with Saldana, but Affleck still looks rusty after the career stalling debacle of "I'm Still Here," and Cooper's rookie status as a director of action scenes is glaringly apparent in the final standoff, which could pass for unintentional comedy if it weren't so gruesome.
Poor craftsmanship is forgivable, but the film's portrayal of the Ramapough Mountain Indians (also known as the Ramapough Lenape Nation) as a cross between Neanderthals and hillbilly trash is not forgivable, and is even more disturbing for the sneaky way it attempts to disguise its racism.
As a New York Times article pointed out, De Groat is a prominent name in the Ramapough tribal council, and an underling of Harrelson's character has the surname Van Dunk, the same as real life Ramapough Deer Clan Chief Percy Van Dunk. On several occasions characters refer to the Ramapoughs as so savage that even local police leave them alone, and there are numerous allusions to incest and other sordid behavior.
If the filmmakers had simply made the villain an anonymous thug from an unnamed portion of the United States somewhere east of Pittsburgh, they might have been guilty only of the pitfalls of genre conventions. But the vitriolic stereotypes on display in "Out of the Furnace" are comparable to the infinitely better made but just as ignorant "The Birth of a Nation."
That movie was released in 1915.

Date: February 19 2013
Transfield Services has reported a write-down of up to $285 million relating to its Easternwell Minerals exploration and marine geotechnical businesses, as well as its US downstream maintenance business, just one week before it releases its first-half results.
The construction and maintenance firm said in a statement to the ASX this morning that the write-downs were non-cash, did not affect its gearing covenant under banking agreements, and did not impact operations.
"The impairments are expected to result in an increase of approximately 6.7 – 7.1 percentage points in the company's balance sheet gearing ratio," Transfield Services said.
"However the Group has plans in place to reduce this revised gearing to within its target range of 25-35 per cent."
Transfield Services is set to release its first-half results on February 26.
The company's shares fell 1 cent, or 4.5 per cent, to $2.005 in early trade.

If you're a Panther's fan, you might have cause to worry. When the Oakland Raiders returned to Oakland, Los Angeles and the NFL have been positioning themselves to get another team in one of America's top markets. Unfortunately it's usually a team that isn't doing very well, and resides in a small market.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, political officials in California have been wooing Carolina owner Jerry Richardson about a possible upheaval to L.A..
Richardson is looking for public help in renovating Bank of America Stadium, a recipe that is a very familiar root to a team moving.
This puts the pressure on city officials to get a deal done to fix up the stadium. However, these types of things can change quickly if money and the right situation comes about.
Think Richardson wouldn't mind watching his team under the sunny skies of Southern California?

You might ignore your cellphone if your ringtone is Beethoven's Fur Elise, but what if it's a gruff voice that yells "Pick up the damn phone?"

A Bellevue ladies group held a small local showcase of products on Sat., March 8, 2014. According to the event organizer, a disappointing seven or eight visitors showed up for the March event which featured a small showing of only six vendors.
While the organizer hopes the showcase will grow, some vendors have pointed to problems such as poor communication, disorganization and broken promises as reasons why they won't be participating in future show attempts.
"Miscommunication problems is putting it mildly," states one former vendor and Bellevue resident. "Not only did she apparently not read my messages before firing off almost nonsensical replies, but she went back on some of her promises after receiving two weeks of trade-out services from me for which I received nothing in return except some smart-aleck parting messages."
Caveat Emptor as they say: Let the buyer (or trader) beware.
The organizer, who says she just does the events for fun, still hopes to make something happen. Some of the local vendors and services she says might be on hand in the future include:
Rodan + Fields Skin Care, Scentsy, Thirty-One, Plexus Slim, Initials Inc., Origami Owl, Vault Denim, Simply Said, manicures; spray tanning, etc. These are vendors the organizer says local attendees might expect to see at possible future showcases...or maybe not.
It's too bad this event didn't take off as Bellevue could use more networking opportunities.
Do you know of any upcoming Bellevue events? Let me know about them. And if you have any questions about skin care in Bellevue or about writing for Examiner, email me at email@example.com.

First thing we want to say is this:
Everything's five by five, people. We all knew there'd be a love triangle and these pictures do not suggest end-game or even a relationship for that matter. And even if that's the case, people need not resort to abandoning ship or throwing hate at Asami and the Masami ship. We here at Makorra do not endorse slander or shipping wars. PERIOD.
Keeping that in mind, everyone feel free to share your thoughts on love triangles or talk about how smoking hot Asami is or how cute Mako looks while blushing or how much we want Korra and Asami to be besties
Stay classy, Makorrians. <3
YEAH. I'm posting this pic too.
Y'all gonna look at it, and come to terms with it happening, but
STAY CALMabout it
DON'T call Asami a bitchand realize that
Makorra is still gonna be okay and happen.
OKAY? Okay.

There has been increasing discussion in the mainstream media and the planning community about how to account for so-called "digital assets." The term "digital assets" comprises several different categories of data that most of us already possess and continue to acquire at an accelerating pace. For example, "digital assets" may refer to digital photos or e-mails. It encompasses downloaded music files, e-books, online subscriptions, airline miles and credit card reward points, any of which may have significant monetary value. Finally, "digital assets" can describe traditional assets that we access through digital means, such as automatic bill-pay accounts or brokerage accounts.
You may have strong preferences for how you would want those assets handled in the event of your incapacity or death. You may feel strongly that some photos or e-mails should be saved, others deleted. And you may want family members to have access to your online accounts. Planning for digital assets, however, poses unique challenges. For example:
Careful planning and organization increase the likelihood that your digital assets are not lost forever (assuming you would like them to be found) and are handled in a manner consistent with your wishes. As the law continues to catch up with the reality of our lives, it is worth reflecting on your digital assets and how those assets can (or should) be accessed in the event you are unable to access them yourself.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Foo83 Great Color and Fabric I love this color green and the fabric has been easy to clean. The padding is just perfect. The back side seams and ties have come apart with very limited usage. I will probably not tie them to the chair back any longer. September 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by LegacyMarketFan No where near the 17" posted as its dimension. Beautiful, well made cushion. But only 14.5" per side in length and width. Maybe with time and sitting on it the cushion would flatten out to 15", but certainly nowhere near the 17" I needed or wanted. Tag on cushion and website both say 17". Wrong! May 26, 2013

With the drop in temperature and the beach now being a distant memory, places like Montserrat make an ideal day trip from Barcelona. The views from this beautiful and unusual mountain are simply phenomenal, making it one of Barcelona's most quirky and striking landmarks. The highest summit of Montserrat is called Sant Jeroni (Saint Jerome) and stands at 1,236 meters (4,055 feet) above sea-level making it a popular amongst active types that go along the hiking trails, couples visit for scenic trips and then there are people that make the effort to go to visit the monastery and in particular the Madonna.

Kyle Blevins, former Appalachian State NCAA All-American wrestler who has served as a graduate assistant coach at Gardner-Webb University the past two seasons, has been promoted to the position of assistant coach, the Boiling Springs, N.C. school announced Monday.
Since coming on board in 2012, Blevins has worked with all weight classes at Gardner-Webb, focusing primarily on the upper weight classes. Among his success stories: 174-pound freshman Hunter Gamble, who became the first-ever Southern Conference champion for the Runnin' Bulldogs in 2013.
That success isn't limited to the big guys. Blevins has helped 11 different Gardner-Webb wrestlers -- ranging in weight from 125 to 174 pounds -- post double-digit wins during the 2012-13 season. Seven of those grapplers tallied 15 or more wins for the year.
That pattern continued this past season, when 165-pound redshirt freshman Austin Trott earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I National Championships. He advanced to the second round of the consolation bracket with a 12-4 major decision against Utah Valley's Curtis Cook.
Prior to coming to Gardner-Webb, Blevins made a name for himself on the mat in high school and in college. He was a three-time Oklahoma state champ for Sapulpa High School, the school's first triple-title winner. Blevins then headed east to Appalachian State, where he tallied 124 wins, the second-best career record in program history.
A two-time NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships qualifier in 2011 and 2012, Blevins earned NCAA All-American honors by placing fourth in the 165-pound bracket at the 2012 NCAAs, the highest of any unseeded wrestler in any weight class that year at the nationals. In addition, Blevins was named Southern Conference Wrestler of the Year after winning the 165-pound crown at the 2012 Southern Conference championships.
"I am excited to bring Kyle [Blevins] on staff as our head assistant," said Gardner-Webb head wrestling coach Daniel Elliott. "Over the past two years, Kyle has shown the passion and ability that we are looking to continue to move this program forward. He has invested his last two years here and is committed to the growth of this program, our athletes, and himself every day."
"After two years of serving the Gardner-Webb University wrestling team as a graduate assistant, I am honored to take on the full time position as Assistant Wrestling Coach," said Blevins. "I hope that the attitude and effort that I bring to every task will help myself, my athletes, and my head coach be successful in all that they do."
Located 50 miles west of Charlotte in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, Gardner-Webb University is a private, Christian, Baptist-related four-year university. Current enrollment is over 4,300 students, according to the school's official website. All Runnin' Bulldog sports programs, including wrestling, compete in NCAA Division I.

The life insurance is quite important for a human being to ensure their security in the modern day scenario. The increase rate of inflation and changing life style causes trouble and fear in the minds of the people, henceforth a life insurance policy is highly essential for your old days. It makes you independent and stress free and above all it gives you life time security. Life insurance for the seniors requires a monetary planning procedure and the objective of this program is to aid you the same monetary benefits in your old days. This plan covers security, planning for emergencies and wealth creations and a possible future demand of the diverse life stage.
How to get it?
To have a policy, the senior citizens neither need to endure themselves with any types of life insurance companies nor with any of their respective websites. Apart from this bothering, they don't even need to talk to the agents of the best companies having excellent policies. This beneficial policy can be acquired for free even at your door step. The estimate can be easily acquired from a trustworthy and dependable source. Apart from this, you should budget the policy as per your need and fixed expenditures. Be careful while choosing the exorbitant offers of the companies as it may not be suited to your running budgets and in future it many create devastation to your life.
Types of life insurance
Although there are numerous types of life insurance policies for by different companies, they normally falls under two categories. They are as follows:
Whole life insurance
The main benefit of the policy is that you get the beneficiaries with the policies you sign with company. The most important feature of this particular insurance is that they come with an investment or savings component, which is an additional mean to the original insurance coverage. This is the main reason why some people pay higher premiums and it goes down as you grow older. The other interesting features included in whole life insurance are ability for cash value growth, favorable tax treatment, and permanent protection. After all this facilities you need to careful while dealing with policies with the companies.
Term life insurances
In this type of policy you just have to pay up to certain terms or duration. It is helpful for the families where the sudden death occur to the policy perused member with a pre-defined term. The main disadvantage of this policy is that it never builds equity like the whole life insurance policy. Most importantly some of the policies come with renewal options and you can carry it for your further coverage when you like to be.
Factors considered at the policy
Most of the companies look into different matters of the clients when they are dealing with the policies. Before insuring the policy, these companies look at the cholesterol level, heights, weights, blood pressure levels and even the family back grounds of the clients. Clients with high risk of cholesterol level never qualify to get the policies due to the risk factor like death and cancers and heart diseases.
So, do not hesitate to apply this insurance from a best company and insure you old days before it is getting too old. Choose wisely and live happily.

Governor Tom Corbett has nominated Carol Aichele to serve as Secretary of the Commonwealth. In this role, she leads the Pennsylvania Department of State, which protects the public's health, safety and welfare by licensing over 800,000 business, health and real estate professionals; maintains registration and financial information for thousands of charities soliciting contributions from Pennsylvanians; administers Pennsylvania's electoral process; maintains corporate filings; and oversees professional boxing, wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts in the Commonwealth.
Before joining the state, Acting Secretary Aichele served on the Chester County Board of Commissioners, where she was first elected in November 2003 and was re-elected in November 2007. Under her leadership, the County was awarded three Triple-A bond ratings for its excellent financial management practices.Read More

This article was initially written to thank Patricia (Pat) M. Bricklin for her contributions to the licensing of professional psychologists as she was finishing her latest term with the State Board of Psychology. Sadly, Dr. Bricklin passed away on Dec.21, 2010 and this article is now a memoriam to her.
Pat Bricklin had been closely associated with the licensing of psychologists for 40 years in Pennsylvania and across North America. She has been a constant force on the Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology off and on since the board was authorized, concluding her latest term this December.Read More

The most frequent question that the board is asked is whether a licensee is permitted to do this or that. By now licensees are aware that the board cannot pre-approve or pre-deny conduct and therefore cannot provide a specific answer. Nonetheless, unless the practice is prohibited by the Professional Psychologists Practice Act, the board's regulations or other laws applicable to psychology practice, licensees are generally able to provide the service so long as they are competent to do so. This article reviews some competency issues which the board believes are most relevant to licensees.Read More
The health licensing board chairs, administrators and division chiefs gathered for their third roundtable discussion in Harrisburg on Jan. 6.
The roundtable meetings, which had been a regular occurrence in the past, were revived in the summer of 2010. The first two health board meetings, held in July and October, proved to be very successful in raising issues that affected multiple health-related boards. Read More

Coney Eight Get Another Month
Today's court date was postponed, while a politician comes out against the booted Coney businesses.
While the Post reports that Democratic Councilman Domenic Recchia Jr. has sided with Zamperla in its bid to boot the Coney Island Eight (Recchia praises the "healthy food options" that the controversial Sodexo has in store, as if Coney weren't the birthplace of the hot dog!), Amusing the Zillion tweets word that today's planned court hearing has been "postponed till 2/16 at request of Zamperla attorneys."

Oregon Trail Deluxe
Game Review
The Oregon Trail Game is a fun action packed educational gem that can keep you entertained for days. With this free oregon trail download of the classic from the early 90s you will see what it was really like for people to be on the oregon trail going west.
You have to be smart about your packing, this includes making sure that you dont have too much supplies that is going to be worthless, grandmas beautiful truck will mean nothing, if you dont make it to your destination because you starved to death. By being able to hunt and interact with the oregon trail game you really get to understand what life was like back then. The interaction between characters makes it so that you have to resolve conflict, and you learn to be a great problem solver.
When taking the trip out west, your character will learn what it meant to travel with a group, how to ford a river, and what to do when you are attacked by a bunch of Native Americans. The best part of the oregon trail game is how realistic it is, you actually have to prepare yourself for all of the trails ahead and most of the time you dont make it and you are forced to start over, what will you take with you bulls, or horses? Will you make your children walk or will you let them ride in the wagon making it harder for the animals and make it so they are much more likely to die. What about when there is no grass to feed your pet, or when someone steals? These are all things that your character is forced to deal with and overcome in the Oregon Trail Game.
More than that though, this is a classic that children can play by themselves to supplement their classroom learning, it is a game they can play with their parents, or grandparents, and its a game that even adults can play as they remember their childhood and want to relive the memories of playing such a fun game. I was very happy to find this oregon trail download when I was searching for similar classics like Munchers and the Carmen Sandiego Games. This game enables just about anyone to have a good time, and learn the way of the trail, maybe even bury a virtual loved one, and then move on. All part of the way of the road, just one more thing you character has to do to win the game. If you enjoy games that simulate what life was like in the 1800s I know you will love this oregon trail download just as much as I do.

Halloween event 2014 is livePosted: October 30th, 2014 | Author: =MUPP= oGre | Filed under: Team Fortress 2, updates | Comments Off
The sixth annual halloween special is live on the server. Read about it here.
The sixth annual halloween special is live on the server. Read about it here.
Login to steam using a valid steam account and go here:
Using the apikey, you can create a server id and login_token using curl:
curl --data "appid=440&key=#actual key#" https://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/CreateAccount/v0001/
Steam will answer with a JSON struct:
"response": {
"steamid": "XXX",
"login_token": "YYY"
Add the following line to the file autoexec.cfg (in the cfg folder – create it if it's not present):
sv_setsteamaccount YYY
Now the server should spit out something like
Assigned persistent gameserver Steam ID [G-1:XXXX].
The new event map has been enabled as well a sourcemod 1.5.2.
The event site has more info.
Sourcemod 1.5.1 (maintenance release) has been pushed to all servers.
Also the Metamod failing to load on left 4 dead has been resolved.
Sourcemod 1.5.0 and Metamod:source 1.10 have been released.
The servers are updated.
Release notes: Metamod:source, Sourcemod
The servers haven't really been managed since we moved to a new VM for all the game servers. Apache and MySQL still isn't fully operational, but the game servers for Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor are up and running the latest steampipe versions.
Left 4 Dead 2 will be running the all new steampipe version when it is released this week.
Maybe the lovely Swedish summer will inspire me to fix the outstanding issues with web server and database, who knows?
The new RAID controller is in place and everything should be back to normal..
Most servers are back online. Only Killing Floor is down.
Due to a faulty RAID-controller, the servers are down since this morning. They will be up next week at the earliest.
Read all about the new game mode here.
We will host this on tf.muppfarmen.se for the time being.
There is a very useful plugin that takes care of vote kicking when there are admins on the server.
Votekick Switcher disables vote kicking when there are admins with kick privileges on the server. When the server is unattended vote kick is enabled.

Supergirl TV Series Statue
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman? No, it's Supergirl! This Supergirl TV Series Statue features the likeness of actress Melissa Benoist and stands about 12 1/2-inches tall. Sculpted by Adam Ross, this is one statue no Supergirl fan will want to miss out on!

[Date: April 2008]
J. Torres is a writer currently writing issues of "Legion of Super Heroes in the 31st Century" for DC Comics.
Superman Homepage writer Adam Dechanel interviewed J. Torres about issue #13 of the comic book.
The Superman Homepage would like to thank J. Torres for agreeing to do this interview, and for fitting it into his busy schedule.
A: I loved it. Would love to do more like this. Wish I could do a "young Lois and Clark" book.
Q: The show has been axed... what does this mean for the book?
A: I'm told that for now it's business as usual.
Q: Did you enjoy the series?
A: You bet. I admit that I enjoyed season one more than two, but I want complete DVD sets of both.
Q: Does its demise mean you'll have more freedom?
A: Well, with the switch from season one to two, it was tricky to have the comic keep up with the cartoon because of lead times and such, so we were already exercising some creative freedoms, and I'd expect more of that, including new Legionnaires, new villains, slightly different characterizations, maybe some costume tweaks and so on.
Q: Over the past few months the book's progression has been very mature and strongly in keeping with continuity, will you be going past the Season two climax?
A: Yes, it's almost like our idea of a "season three." Kel is back in the future, Brainy is back in the Legion, and the story moves forward from there.
Q: Have you read Tiny Titans or DC Super Friends?
A: Not yet but I look forward to it, especially since Dario and Jason working on Super Friends are friends of mine.
Q: Do you think now that both JLU and Legion have ended their runs, a crossover might be on the cards?
A: I'm not aware of any plans, but who knows?
Q: Any tidbits on things to come?
A: #17-19, while all stand alone stories, have a subplot running through them involving the flight rings. The issues' themes include control and communication. One issue has Thanagarian pirates. Another has White Witch. Another has Booster Gold.
When Lois & Clark started production in 1993, there was an obvious relationship between the comic book people and the Hollywood people.
A trade paperback Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was published, with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher on the cover. It included reprints of comic book stories that were the inspiration for Lois & Clark, helping to define the characters. Comic's included are: The Story of the Century (Man of Steel miniseries #2), Tears for Titano (Superman Annual #1), Metropolis - 900 mi (in SUP #9), The Name Game (SUP #11), Lois Lane (in ACT #600), Headhunter (AOS #445), Homeless for the Holidays (AOS #462), The Limits of Power (AOS #466), and Survival (ACT #665).
A number of comic book writers and artists had roles as extras in the episode I'm Looking Through You (Season one, episode 4). Their presence was immortilized in the Sky Trading Card #34.
Craig Byrne, president of the online Lois & Clark fanclub The Krypton Club, carried out a series of interviews with comic book writers. The interviews are reprinted with permission of the Krypton Club.

Christmas Tree Envy
The Christmas tree at the Manhattan Hilton Garden Inn gave a serious case of tree envy. It looked like it was easily over twenty feet and there wasn't an unadorned inch.
The tree that I'd been working on at home looked completely naked by comparison. I was tempted to go to Michael's this morning to pick up some more ornaments. LOL.
Speaking of Christmas decorations, Brian and I were inspired by this wine-themed Christmas tree that we saw at Von Maur today. We're totally doing one next year!

Healthgrades® Names Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center to its America's 50 Best Hospitals™ List
March 19, 2014 – Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center has been recognized as one of the nation's top hospitals in Healthgrades' America's Best Hospitals Report 2014. Healthgrades®, the leading resource for information about physicians and hospitals, named Memorial Regional to its annual America's 50 Best Hospitals list, placing it in the top one percent of the 4,500 hospitals evaluated nationwide.
"Being named as one of the nation's best hospitals by Healthgrades underscores our unwavering dedication to improving clinical outcomes for our community," said Michael Robinson, CEO, Bon Secours
Memorial Regional Medical Center and Richmond Community Hospital. "We have always been committed to excellence and providing quality and compassionate care to our patients. With this recognition, people can independently verify Memorial Regional's performance to help them make informed decisions about where to receive their health care." Memorial Regional achieved this distinction based on an evaluation of clinical performance over seven years. According to the Healthgrades evaluation threshold for their America's Best Hospitals, Memorial Regional exhibited comprehensive high-quality care across clinical specialties repeatedly, demonstrating an institutional commitment to clinical quality by the organization.
"By choosing a hospital that has achieved the Healthgrades America's 50 Best Hospital award, consumers can expect a long-standing commitment to exceptional clinical care – and receive a quality of care that is among the highest quality medical care in the nation," said Evan Marks, EVP, informatics and strategy, Healthgrades.
Hospitals that achieve America's 50 Best have demonstrated the ability to have better than expected outcomes across many different procedures and conditions year after year.
Healthgrades found that if all hospitals performed at the level as America's 50 Best, more than 157,069 lives could have potentially been saved nationwide between 2010 and 2012. This translates to a 23.29 percent lower risk-adjusted mortality rate for those hospitals in the America's 50 Bes list when compared to all other hospitals in the nation (across 19 procedures and conditions where in-hospital mortality was the clinical outcome).
