omg the title of this thread just shut down my emerging gay side...it might take weeks to recover lol
I can see a step father (as I had a hot step father who became my step father when i was 14) being hot. I'm not even of the same race as my step father but I found him HOT! He looked EXACTLY like a younger Sam Elliott
He did do something weird to me that I thought was hot back when I was 17: we were fully clothed but he nailed me up against a wall (when I was 17) and breathed hard and moved back and forth against me, kind of the imitation of fucking someone. He was being silly but it was kind of hot. I always thought it was weird he did that to me....BUT IT WAS HAWT!!!!
but as far as blood ---- even 45 and 25.....ewwww!!! family is just disgusting!
I was never interested in my real dad but the first time I was double fucked - that is two cocks up my arse at the same time - was from a real father/son. The dad was my first lover and was in his 40's. I was 22 at the time and his son was the same age. They didn't live together when I was at the house but the son moved in a few years after I left. Dad and son found out each other was gay from a mutual fuck partner who knew them both and wanted to arrange a 3way - now that's a novel way to "come out" to your dad! lol. He had no idea they were related.
We are all still mates although there has been no sex between us for many years. I must say the feeling of the dad, who's cock was nice and thick fucking me while I sucked the son and then his cock joining his dad's up my arse was one of the hottest times I've had. It was outside on their country property too, another turn-on for me. I also - and this is true even though it sounds like a fantasy - had an orgy getting fucked by them and three other men, two of whom were cops and the other a housepainter, really rough trade type. Fuck I can still get hard thinking about it and it was many years ago now.
no, never,ever my father....
if i had a sexy step dad, maybe yes
my mate 18 is living with his 42 yo step dad they fuck his dad is a big muscled tattooed biker and hot
Here's some pics. May be the real thing.
More pics. You decide.
This stuff makes me so horny! Does anyone else have any other father/son or incest stories to share? Of your own, or maybe someone you know? I wish I had a big, masculine and beefy, hairy daddy to teach me sex when I was young.
5th picture in the second set i believe are father and son.
edit: I had just gone to a strip club in tampa when I was there for a week and a half. It was a womans strip club, it was hot watching all the older hot guys getting their rocks off on the woman strippers.
If you got close to having sex, tell us what you did do or used to do!
You asked for pics. Well I have a few nice ones - only brothers. Don't have any father/son pics, but who would know if they were really true. I'll post all 15 in this plus two additional posts.
Next set. :p
Third Set. This is the last set for now, I think I may have a few others, but will have to look for them. I hope you have enjoyed these pics. :twisted:
can anyone help me with some ideas on how to get my dad? i know he wants to be with me as much as i do with him but hes too good of a guy and he would never do that to my mom. Ive wanted him since i was like 13 yrs old and i always make sure to be semi naked or get caught naked or pissing or something by him and he always lingers around when he catches me and i know he wants it i can tell by the look in his eyes but i dont know how to go about just asking him.
The other half is saying, dont try and leave it alone. I tried to get my Uncle to come back to my place and get a blowjob from a girl with me but he decided against it at the last minute, and recently I have realized that it was the stupidest thing i could have ever done, and mostly to my Aunt if she would have ever found out.
I'm not into ANYONE in my family in the least, but for some odd reason I get turned on reading about other people's experiences or fantasies! I would like to know of such forum myself seeing as every time someone tries to bring it up here it gets hijacked by Anita Bryant and her followers.
http://www.agayincest.com/ is one, but so far all I see is fiction. Maybe there's more to it, though.
anyone know of any father/son teams in MI that do this? it's always been a fantasy of mine
I can't participate on the other side; my dad's an unattractive homophobe, and I have no brothers to play with :(
I've had sex with my dad. He caught me wanking to gay porn and i came out to him [moderator: removed text]. So later he's having a few cans and he is like so your a queer yeah, and asking if i sucked cock etc which i told him that i was still a virgin. So he's like bet you'd love my cock in ur face wouldn't ya, and was grabbing it and i was really scared at first thinking he was gunna punch me or summat, but he got it out and was like you like my cock yeah? I just nodded as i was so scared!! He put it towards my face and was like well suck then if u want cock, and i was so scared that he was testing me, but i just started sucking it and thats it really. Was hot after i knew he was serious. Done it on-off over the years and eventually anal etc. But its all me sucking him, he never sucks me or owt
^Sweet man, is your dad hot? Btw how old are you? Sounds like a great way to start lol
My Dads ok, not all that now, has a beer belly and all that! lol.
But he has a good cock, so i was happy! Dont really do it much now, last time was xmas.x
Sweet like how does it go and how do you usually go about? You should make a video or something, I find it totally cool..
wow this is quite fascinating - interesting stories - and no i do not judge . i know several peeps who started wanking with their older brothers , some progressed to fucking and/or being fucked - some just played together. most started around 12-13 - for the younger brother - and i think some continued into their 20's
also know a couple guys who jack off with their young teenage sons. dont know if there is any other touching going on or if they are just taking care of themselves in a group setting. i'm not sure how i feel about this. is dad just showing junior how ? using his own as a model? or is he fondling the child and making him cum? so u can see it could be complicated - i do =believe the guys are willing participants - and not being traumatized - but u can see it could lead to more "activities".. maybe not. i am not friends with these peeps - one i heard abut thru a third party.
as for DAD - I can remember walking into my dad's room in the mrning and seeing his huge hairy chest - he only slept in his PJ bottoms. i wwas 6-7 at this time and would always get a hard-on seeing his marvelous hairy chest, nipples and big biceps with equally hairy arms . sometimes he would curl his arm - pop his huge bicep and say--feel this ! then hed say something like = eat your veggies and you'll have big muscles too !! He was soooo sexy - and such a turn on - and i was 6 - should have been a clue to me huh?? never saw his cock- always hped to - because im pretty sure he was uncut and i am cut .. and he never tried anything with me ever-- only one day he was at the doctors office with me - and after suffering the humiliation of pulling down my undies in front of the doc AND dad - i was abut to pull them back up and Dad said come over here - near where he was sitting - so with my jockies half around my thighs i waddled over scared as hell - and he just looked at my little 12 year old cock which thankfully was not hard and didnt say a word. He just said get dressed.
it took me years to figure out - he was uncut and he didnt spend much time home so he wasnt diapering me as a baby and he had prlly only rarely had ever seen my cut little weenie. it was kinda strange - but i guess he wanted to see how the little guy turned out. i would have loved to have said - ok pops - you saw mine now show yours !!! How do i think he's uncut? i saw his brother pissing and they were all born at home on the kitchen table !! so it figures.
i have fond memories of the many Saturdays he would cut the grass shirtless. and damn - i DID NOT get all that chest hair that i so badly wanted. life is not fair !!
^Sounds hot and yeah I feel you, what else did they tell you? At least they are open and wow 12-13, lucky, figures. Some I read on here are even younger (the ones that appear to be true at least) hah
Watching my dad fuck other dudes was a big time fantasy of mine. Anyone else?
well it has been a very long time, since i updated this. so for the past few months things just took for the very worst! around october i finally found out that indeed my boyfriend had been getting sexually abused by his father since he was around 5. we are both in are early twenties. my boyfriend since then was on a very destructive path he was drinking heavily and in november he beat me up really bad in his house, his mother caught me in the morning trying to leave. made my bf go and see a shrink and anger manegment. he told me he wanted to get better for me but i told him no! he had to do it for him self. he was doing good but his dad beat him up really bed in january he ended up busting some of his ribs. and his dad then got really wired with me he got me some stuff and he got very fresh when my Boyfriend wasn't around he said things like "he could see why my boyfriend loved my ass, and he wanted a taste" he grabbed my ass and things got really bad when he took me home one night while my boyfriend was in the hospital he wanted to fuck or get a BJ he was rubbing on his cock and grabbed my hand and made me touch it but because was hesitant and did not feel right and also scared he grabbed my by my arm really hard and grabbed me hard i was really scared. my boyfriend got really worse he was very depressed, he worked out to the limit and he stayed with the idea that he was so ugly and unworthy of love i told him im with him 100% no matter wat that i would be at his side. in february he decided that we he needed a break and he wanted to be alone because there was so much going on with him and he got involved with this old drug'y friend and he went back on the weed and e and coke and he was drinking a lot he started to do poorly in school he wasn't playing sports he was just drug'd but i always let him know i was there i begged him to quit the crap. then in last month he got into a really bad car accident and he was out of it for almost a week and this week his dad and his mother checked my boyfriend in to a rehab facility.
Wow! Your dealing with some pretty heavy issues regarding your BF. His father is controlling and manipulative. The father sounds as though he has a narcissistic personality disorder. He doesn't give a shit about his son and just wants to control him. That's why he flys into a rage and beats him up. Would be terrible to have a parent like that! You're BF needs to get away from him.
And don't worry about your spelling. The guy that made a comment is a "dick"
wow, i wish ur bf well on his recovering in the rehab
OMG...that's terrible... :(.
THis topic should be moved to the no flame zone.
Here are some father and son pics.
[moderator: 1 photo attachment removed. content not allowed on JUB).
I'm enjoying what you men are posting here.
So true! I knew what sex was at 4 and wanted it. I was real shy and naiive as I got older (went through a lot of crap) so didn't do anything until I was 18 and I needed some milage.
Exactly - it's ok and cool for them but if any of us talk open about it we are shunned and stereotyped. It's it fair? ](*,)
try menchats.com
My dad is very hairy all over his body and husky.I saw him naked many times and had a small attraction to him.I was a very hairy guy by age 13.Infact guys would stare at me in the gym showers.I was self conscious about being hairy.
Dad never seemed interested in me sexually ,just in my sisters.
When I was as young as 11,I wished any adult male would kidnap me and have sex with me and we could be lovers.
I'm fascinated by this topic because I personally know two biological father/son marriages. These couples have never met each other, perhaps do not even know the other exists, and they live in separate states. They are both friends of mine. As a senior gay man, a father, and grandfather, I have never been interested sexually with any of my children or grandchildren.
Both of the marriages I mentioned above were of gay fathers who divorced their wives and left the household when their children were young. The mothers raised their sons to adulthood and the fathers were ordered by the court to stay away.
Both sons had accidental meetings with their fathers in gay bars. Both fathers and sons had a few drinks under their belts on the first meeting, but the sons especially were thrilled to see their dads. Both Dads took their "new found" sons home with them and they enjoy sex together. As they lay talking afterward the sons reminisced about their early days together and how much they loved their dads and how much they missed them.
The sons both found they enjoyed being with their Dads and the dads were thrilled to have found their sons. The Dads apparently were most reluctant to form a relationship but both sons were persistent. One couple has been together over 15 years and the other for only about 3 years. Both couples say it is the perfect relationship.
On the negative: both couples have been completely estranged from their
biological families. The gay community is their only family.
My advice to those wanting a sexual relationship with their dads is to cool it. The two success stories I related were of young men in their mid 20's and their gay fathers in their 50's. They were not of teenage sons having a relationship with their dads in their childhood home.
Sex with a relative outside the immediate family is fairly common. I had sex with a cousin when I was 12 and he was 10. We started young in our family. :D To answer the question how it happened: our families piled in two cars to go somewhere and he sat on my lap. As we were driving along, he started wiggling on my lap and I got hard. He knew and I knew that we both wanted it. So that night we jerked each other off in bed and fell asleep as we kissed.
thanx so much, i saw one scene and was looking 4 the rest of my wild and raunchy son. thanx!
I loved the one on rapid share with the dad teaching his son about "the changes in life"
OMG, It's so Hot. I wish that happened to me *|*
I freaking love this thread dudes keep up the hot stories. ..|
i can't tell you how much i've wanted to do things with my dad!!!!
he just turned 50, but he still looks pretty hot and has a lot of hair and i remember when i was a kid, i would shower with him and i remember having his dick and balls right in my face. they were full of pubes and so thick:drool::drool:
i look back now and i can't believe how hot it is. he always talks about women, but he's cool with gay people, so he probably would love a blowjob from anything!!
it's crazy though because i know he doesn't shave down there and he has a really beefy ass. the intense rimjob i would give him...aaahhhh that scent and the furriness:p:p:p
i've also wanted to fuck him with a dildo and hear how he would moan and go crazy!!!!
to describe him fully, i would say THICK ;) he's got thick hairy legs, thick balls, a thick cock, and a thick, beefy ass. it would just seem like a really connective experience
but then again, im not gay, and he would probably be a little weirded out by my asking, so it remains a fantasy
im gonna go now*|**|*

Change doesn't come often in the battery field:
Alessandro Volta – for whom the volt is named – invented the first useful battery in 1800. That was long before other breakthrough inventions like the internal combustion engine, telephone, car, airplane, transistor, computer and Internet. But all of those developments have seemed to evolve faster than the simple battery.
The lead-acid car battery "has been around for 150 years more or less," said Jay Whitacre, a materials science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. "This is a remarkable testament to first how robust that chemistry is and how difficult change is."

A lifetime ago, Tim Burton told the world he was directing Batman with Michael Keaton as the caped crusader and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. The world laughed. June of 89 came and went, and Batman was a hit. Suddenly, every comic book property looked like a cold mine for the studios. It was also around this time that Marvel comics was in financial trouble. Over the coming years, a number of their stronger properties like Spider-Man, The Uncanny X-Men, and Fantastic 4 started getting snatched up by studios like Fox and Columbia.
Fast forward to 2009. Marvel has started it's own in-house studio. With Spidey and Wolverine making money for other companies, Marvel takes a risk on some of their less house-hold properties, building up to a possible Avengers project. Along comes Disney, buying up the lot and giving Marvel the resources it needs to build such an intricate universe.
With the success of 2012's Marvel's the Avengers (not to be confused with the 1998 with Uma Thurman, based on the 1961 TV series with Diana Rigg), director and Geek God Joss Whedon promised a Marvel TV series. Bringing fan favorite Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) back from the dead, Whedon and ABC delivered "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in the fall of 2013.
The show had a rough ride at the beginning. Gregg carried the show for the first few episodes, mainly because he had an existing relationship with the audience. The other characters needed a few weeks (in some cases, months) to bond with the viewers. Some watching at home would gloat to twitter and Facebook that they had abandoned the show early on. Others held tight to the show, patiently hoping for something to happen. I recall one frequent complaint was a hatred of Agent Ward (Brett Dalton). Little did we know...
Flash forward again a few months. Two major events gave "S.H.I.E.L.D." a shot in the arm, and neither of them actually happened on the show. The first was the release of THOR: DARKWORLD. The first feature film from Marvel to follow Avengers had tie-ins to the show on the air. This opened the door to guest appearances from Peter MacNicol and Jaimie Alexander as citizens of Thor's Azgard (Alexander's appearance being more significant, playing Thor comic/film regular Lady Sif). An even bigger game changer came with the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The clandestine organization at the center of the films and the TV series is essentially destroyed in the Captain America sequel, setting off a chain reaction that has devastated the show for the past six weeks. Fans who decided to start watching "S.H.I.E.L.D." after seeing CA:WS may have come away with a satisfying ride, enough to give the show another look in reruns (or in this age, Netflix).
One could describe this inaugural season as a roller-coaster ride, if that roller-coaster were to utilize 3/4 of its track on a slow steady climb to the sky before sending the rider on a neck-breaking plunge into every loop, spin, and cork-screw in that last 1/4 of the ride.
Looking forward to Season 2, and I'm optimistic about the other Captain America companion piece coming the ABC, "Agent Carter." I believe those who were skeptical of Disney's purchase of Marvel in 09 have since gone quiet. The Mouse has proven that they are treating the Marvel Universe with respect. Now, if only Sony would give up Spider-man.

According to the Canadian Olympic Committee in a press release, Denny Morrison of Chetwynd, British Columbia won an Olympic bronze medal for Canada on Saturday at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Morrison won a bronze medal in the men's 1500m for his fourth career step to the podium. He previously won a silver medal on Wednesday in the men's 1000m, a gold medal in the men's team pursuit at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and a silver medal in the men's team pursuit at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin. Following the Olympic triumph, Morrison was highly praised by Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut, who released this statement:
"Once again, Canada salutes Denny as a double Olympic medallist here in Sochi. Only the greatest of Olympic athletes can sustain the excellence required to win multiple medals at a single Games," said Marcel Aubut, President, Canadian Olympic Committee. "Denny has earned a place among the great names of Canadian speed skating and our entire Canadian Olympic family congratulates Denny, his coaches, his family and his entire support team on another great feat."
Morrison posted a time of 1:45.22. Zbigniew Brodka of Poland meanwhile beat Koen Verweij of the Netherlands by three one thousandths of a second or gold. Bodka's time 1:45.006 compared to Verweij at 1:45.009. Unlike alpine skiing., judges go to one hundredth of a second to deterine the winner.
Another big story is that the Canadian long track speed skaters have one more medal at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi than the short track speed skaters. On paper, this was a very deep Canadian short track speed skating team, but have only seen Charles Hamelin of Levis, Quebec win gold in the men's 1500m. On Saturday, no Canadian speed skater advanced to the finals in the men's 1000m or the women's 1500m events, and the men's short track speed skating relay team will not be in the final either.
Canada now has 12 medals at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games--four gold, five silver and three bronze medals.

College Hockey:Holy Cross Keeps Army Winless
WORCESTER, Mass. — Senior co-captain Tyler McGregor had a goal and two assists as the Holy Cross men's hockey team defeated Army 5-3 in Atlantic Hockey action on Saturday night at the Hart Center. With the win, the Crusaders improve to 3-0-0 (2-0-0 AHA), making it their best start since the 1993-94 season when they went 4-0-0 to start the season. Army is now 0-6-0 (0-2-0 AHA).
The Crusaders got on the board 23 seconds into the first period when sophomore defenseman Brian Gabriel scored his first goal of the year by blistering a shot from the far corner of the left faceoff circle past Army goalie Brad Roberts to give Holy Cross the early lead. Army came right back to tie the game when Tim Manthey scored a power play goal from just inside the blue line at the 2:23 mark. Just 41 seconds later McGregor gave the Crusaders back the lead when he tallied his first goal of the season.
In the second period, junior Sean Nappo extended the Holy Cross lead to 3-1 with a power-play goal at the 3:23 mark. The Black Knights cut the deficit in half with just under two minutes remaining in the period when, on the power play, Casey Bickley blasted a slap shot from in front of the net.
Sophomore Brian Kolb scored the eventual game winner right after an Army power play when he took off on a breakaway and placed the puck into the net pass Roberts at the 5:57 mark of the third period. Army made the game tight when Matt Hickey scored a shorthanded goal with 19 seconds remaining to make it 4-3. The Crusaders clinched the game when senior co-captain Pierre Napert-Frenette added an empty net goal with four seconds left.
Senior goaltender Ben Conway made 24 saves to earn his first win of the season, while Roberts also stopped 24 shots for the Black Knights.
The Crusaders return to action when they hit the road to take on Atlantic Hockey opponent Connecticut next weekend. Army heads Canisius next weekend.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0140268863, Paperback)Robert Fagles's translation is a jaw-droppingly beautiful rendering of Homer's Odyssey, the most accessible and enthralling epic of classical Greece. Fagles captures the rapid and direct language of the original Greek, while telling the story of Odysseus in lyrics that ring with a clear, energetic voice. The story itself has never seemed more dynamic, the action more compelling, nor the descriptions so brilliant in detail. It is often said that every age demands its own translation of the classics. Fagles's work is a triumph because he has not merely provided a contemporary version of Homer's classic poem, but has located the right language for the timeless character of this great tale. Fagles brings the Odyssey so near, one wonders if the Hollywood adaption can be far behind. This is a terrific book.

A new translation of the epic poem retells the story of Odysseus's ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.

Let $\{\mathcal{A}_n\}$ be an infinite sequence of sets with $\mathcal{A}_n \subset \mathcal{M}$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}$ (for simplicity). Is there a "nice" limit definition $\lim^{\circ}$ and a "nice" measure $\mu^{\circ}$ such that the following two holds:
1) Every $\{\mathcal{A}_n\}$ (as discussed above) has a converging subsequence.
2) If $\{\mathcal{A}_n\}$ converges, and $\mathcal{A} = \lim^{\circ}\mathcal{A}_n$, then $\mu^{\circ}(\mathcal{A}) = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\mu^{\circ}(\mathcal{A}_n)$ (here the last limit is the usual limit).
What I mean by "nice:" For the measure, it should satisfy e.g. $\mu^{\circ}([a,b]) = b-a$ (e.g. like the Lebesgue measure). For the limit, I do not know exactly what I want, but it should not be something utterly useless and trivial.
Let me try to be more clear. For example, set $\mu^{\circ}$ to be the Lebesgue measure, and the limits defined in the standard manner, i.e. let \begin{align} \liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty} \mathcal{A}_n = \{x:x\in\mathcal{A}_n\mbox{ for all but finitely many }n\}, \end{align} \begin{align} \limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty} \mathcal{A}_n = \{x:x\in\mathcal{A}_n\mbox{ for infinitely many }n\}, \end{align} and say that the limit $\lim\mathcal{A}_n$ exists is these values agree. With this setup, the second condition is satisfied, but the first is not (see my earlier question today: Bolzano-Weierstrass for sequences of sets for which I got great responses thanks to many people)
For the sake of experimenting, let $\mu^{\circ}$ be the Lebesgue measure again, but use the Kuratowski convergence for the limits (see e.g. the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuratowski_convergence). Then, the first condition is satisfied (I read the proof somewhere, but now forgot where), but the second condition is not (it is easy to construct a counterexample).
This is just a thought experiment that has been bothering me for a while, and I would greatly appreciate any responses.

La Vida
Published May 28, 2014 -
La Vida is an exclusive community of only 23 residences just minutes from the Puerto Vallarta International airport in the romantic seaside village of Bucerias, Nayarit. This beautiful beachfront development perfectly balances resort services and amenities with the security and feeling of being at home. Situated on a hectare of land, it's also on the longest and quite exceptional beach stretching from Bucerias to Nuevo Vallarta, perfect for early morning walks.
There are five one-story beachfront homes, six two-story homes with ocean views behind those, and 12 homes and villas at the rear of the property built to also offer ocean views. They will range in size from 3,000- to 3,500-square-feet of living area, with three to five bedrooms (plus a media room).
The architectural design has been done by one of Mexico's leading architects, Fernando de Haro, who has allowed for every home to have an ocean view while still retaining privacy for the owner. In this development he introduces aspects of the distinctive Careyes architectural style (he has built numerous homes there) to Bucerias, blending it with many Mexican design elements to create something truly unique for Puerto Vallarta.
For more information about La Vida please contact Riviera Partners Realty, (329) 291-5442.

McCain Takes On Teacher Unions
In a major education speech in Spartanburg, South Carolina on February 10, Republican presidential candidate John McCain renewed his call for a massive national voucher experiment, and then delivered a stinging attack against the teacher unions and their "education monopoly."
Within a week, McCain himself was stung by defeat in the South Carolina primary, apparently caused by conservative Republicans turning out in large numbers to support George W. Bush. Within two weeks, the tables were turned again, and McCain savored an unexpected primary win in Michigan, where teacher union influence is strong but the Arizona Senator's message apparently resonated among independent voters.
Declaring it "a national disgrace" that many American children don't have a basic understanding of America's cultural and historical traditions, McCain called for a rejection of "the snake oil peddled by professional excuse makers that certain students just aren't capable because of who they are or where they're from." That view, he said, "is an insidious form of bigotry that has no place in our society."
Focusing on excellent student performance as the measure of success, McCain prescribed a commitment to school choice as the remedy for the country's educational ills. Competition produces excellence, he said, and "it's time that competition be allowed to work its wonders in the educational arena."
Such reforms have been extraordinarily difficult to achieve, McCain said, because of the "corrupting influence" of the teacher unions, who have millions of dollars to hand out in soft money campaign contributions to those who will work to oppose school choice.
"In order to appease union bosses, President Clinton and Vice President Gore are perfectly willing to keep poor, underprivileged children locked in failing public schools--while they send their own kids to the most exclusive, most expensive private schools in Washington, DC," charged McCain.
While Bush's school choice plan would have students wait three years before they could leave a failing school, the McCain proposal calls for providing $2,000 vouchers to nearly one million children from the neediest families so they can escape immediately from the poorest performing schools. The program would run for three years at an estimated cost of $5.4 billion, which McCain would fund by ending tax breaks for the sugar, ethanol, and oil and gas industries.
"Every year of a child's education is precious," said McCain. "Let's not consign students to three more years of failure before we take the urgent action that we all know is needed now."
While campaigning in Michigan, McCain didn't hesitate to support the Kids First! Yes! voucher initiative there, attending rallies and speaking up for the measure at fundraisers. By contrast, Bush was neutral on the issue, which is strongly opposed by Governor John Engler. According to observers, this difference in the way the two candidates handled a sensitive local issue helped bolster the perception of McCain as someone who was willing to take a position and make a stand.
Bush also lost some ground in Michigan simply by his association with Engler. For example, the Rev. E.L. Branch made a plea from his pulpit for members of his New Hope Missionary Baptist Church to vote against Bush just to spite Engler. The governor has angered many in Detroit for closing city clinics, cutting off general assistance for single adults, initiating a takeover of the city's public schools, and ending city residency requirements for municipal workers.
"Our governor has not made us happy," said Branch. "We should not make him too happy."

Without a game at Reese Court in more than a month and seven-straight on the road during that time, it took the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team a little while to settle in on its home floor. But a strong second-half effort allowed the Eagles to grab a 58-47 victory over Warner Pacific last Saturday, Dec. 29 at Reese Court.
Eastern, which has now won four games in a row, improves to 6-5 overall in the 2012-13 campaign. The Eagles will return to Big Sky Conference play when they host league-leading Montana tonight (Thurs. Jan. 3) at 6:05 p.m., followed by visit from Mo...

Black Dynamite's LeSean Thomas Kickstarts 'Cannon Buster' Animated Pilot
If there's one thing that you need to know about the staff here at ComicsAlliance, it's that we're staunchly anti-cannon, and feel that they should be busted as often as possible. As a result, our interest was piqued when we heard about a new Kickstarter for a project from comic artist and animator LeSean Thomas called Cannon Busters, which seeks to raise $120,000 for what we assume will be an extended and thorough campaign design to leave no cannon un-busted. Finally, we will have these fearsome weapons out of the hands of the pirates that menace our shores.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Yasser Arafat condemned terror attacks and promised to hold general elections in January, but in a rambling speech to the Palestinian parliament Monday he fell short of outlining clear steps against terror or agreeing to share some power with a prime minister.
Fumbling with microphones and repeatedly straying from a prepared text, the Palestinian leader also offered -- apparently in jest -- to give up executive powers if asked.
The parliament session in Arafat's sandbagged West Bank headquarters came at what could be a pivotal point in the two years of Israeli-Palestinian violence, with signs of a thaw coinciding with Palestinian militants' efforts to stage attacks of unprecedented scale.
In a speech that was both conciliatory and packed with accusations against Israel, Arafat said he condemned "attacks against Israeli civilians" and that such attacks drew attention away from Palestinians' suffering under Israeli occupation. He told legislators to uphold the national interest -- but he skipped passages from the draft that included a call on parliament to ban suicide attacks.
Addressing Israelis, Arafat said: "We want to achieve peace with you. We want security and stability for us and you and for the entire area. ... After 50 years of struggle, I say it's enough of the struggle and bloodshed."
Raanan Gissin, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the speech was meaningless and that Palestinian reform would not work with Arafat in power. "Peace and reforms can only happen when Arafat is not there," Gissin said.
Paul Patin, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, said after the speech that Arafat would be judged by his actions, not his words.
In Gaza, Ismail Abu Shanab of the Islamic militant group Hamas said Arafat showed no clear strategy. "We need to ... find a way to challenge the Israeli aggression," said Abu Shanab, whose group has carried out scores of suicide attacks that have killed more than 250 Israeli civilians in the past two years.
The Palestinian legislature has convened only sporadically, and usually with a low turnout, during the past two years, because of Israeli travel restrictions.
On Monday, Israel banned 12 legislators from making the trip from Gaza to Ramallah, saying they were involved in attacks on Israelis. In solidarity, other Gazan lawmakers stayed behind and participated by video conference.
At the opening of the session, parliament re-elected speaker Ahmed Qureia. A key player in previous peace talks with Israel, Qureia is a confidant of Arafat and is seen as a potential successor.
Arafat's maneuvers seemed to please no one, with several Palestinian legislators complaining he had held off on presenting his new Cabinet to parliament for approval, and that he had not set a specific election date.
When Arafat mentioned that presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections would be held in early January -- as previously announced by aides -- one legislator shouted: "What is needed is a presidential decree with a specific date."
Arafat's confirmation of the January date appeared to defy the United States, which has sought a delay in presidential elections in hopes of winning Palestinian agreement to installing a prime minister who would take over day-to-day governance and render Arafat a figurehead.
The idea of a prime minister is also popular among Palestinians fed up with official corruption and mismanagement, and some legislators have conditioned support for Arafat's new Cabinet on creation of a prime ministerial post.
"I wish to hear him accepting the appointment of a prime minister," said Qadura Fares, a lawmaker from Arafat's Fatah movement, adding that without it he expected a majority to vote against the new Cabinet.
At one point, Arafat said reforms should be based on a separation of powers, then added: "Unless you want to bring somebody else in the executive authority. I wish you could do it and give me a rest."
Arafat aides said later that he has repeatedly made the offer, always in jest, in internal meetings. At a weekend meeting, Arafat continued to resist aides' pressure to share power with a prime minister, sources said.

The stalemate continues at the state capitol as Kentucky lawmakers continue work on the last day of the regular session.
Lawmakers returned to Frankfort, Ky., on March 26, 2007, for their final two days, but the flow of legislation slowed to a trickle.
A few bills passed, including a measure to push back the deadline for presidential candidates to file for next year's general elections. There are still several weighty issues still in limbo, including $370 million in vetoed university projects, overhauling the state pension system and funding for the protection of the state's social worker.
Legislators are expected to work late into the night.

Last month, two of our researchers wrote about their experience participating in a panel about hip-hop music:
"How do you get the stuff?" If only such a simple question had a simple answer.
On a crisp spring morning last weekend, NMAAHC curator Dwandalyn R., researcher Kevin S. and I addressed this issue and many others during a roundtable discussion for the Experience Music Pop Conference at NYU. Held jointly with the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, the conference welcomed students, scholars, writers, performers, and fellow museum nerds from around the world. This was a perfect platform for us to bring in special guest – and one of my most favorite people – Chuck D.
Last year Chuck D. quietly became a founding donor to the NMAAHC collections when he donated a complete S1W uniform that he wore on stage during Public Enemy performances (yes, with a plastic uzi!), one of his personal Gemini turntables, clothing, banners, posters, and other materials related to Public Enemy. Chuck's generous donations will help NMAAHC tell stories about Public Enemy, hip-hop, and the many ways music intersects with political, cultural, and social movements. As Chuck said during our discussion, "When you teach people about black music, which is American music, you teach them American history."
This is one of our big goals for the music exhibition – to simultaneously tell the history of black music in America and the history of America through black music. The history of hip-hop, for example, is rich with stories of music that helped to create awareness and social/political change. One of the most memorable and significant collaborations between a filmmaker and hip-hop group was Spike's 1989 film Do The Right Thing. So it was amazing when, just as our panel discussion began, Spike Lee joined the audience. Public Enemy's single "Fight the Power" was created at Spike's request, and has since become one of the most recognizable songs of all time. "Fight the Power" is also a masterpiece of samples and loops, combined with Chuck's powerful lyrics and delivery. One thing that Chuck said rings true when thinking about Do the Right Thing: "Music echoes the voice of the community." Chuck and Public Enemy went from writing and creating based on what they heard in their communities to becoming the sounds of the community.
Chuck also said that a museum should be "a motor, not a mortuary," and that working with the Smithsonian is "a chance to keep hip-hop breathing and living." We hope that all music will seem very much alive in the museum, and this is where the objects are essential. We use them to tell stories, to represent the individuals or groups they are associated with, and to help our visitors relate not just to the past, but to the present as well. We are building a collection of objects that will hopefully help us reach every single person who visits the music exhibition. We collect from artists and performers, collectors and music lovers alike. Chuck's donations, along with so many others, help us get one step closer to achieving our goals for the music exhibition and the museum. After all, we can't do it without the stuff.
When asked about the importance of donating objects and working with the NMAAHC on a variety of projects, Chuck D, founder of the seminal hip hop group Public Enemy, emphasized that, "museums should be motors for culture and history, not mortuaries."
Chuck D. served as a co-panelist with the Musical Crossroads team this past weekend at the 2012 EMP Pop Conference in New York City and sounded off on a number of topics ranging from his experience in the music industry, race, politics and the current state of African American music. He also stressed the need for keeping culture and history alive, relevant and ultimately, accessible. Not to be outdone, audience member Spike Lee was up front and center, chiming in and keeping the participants on their toes and the conversation lively, while reminding the panelists of their responsibility to keep the community involved in the museum's multiple pursuits.
Jointly held with IASPM-US and presented by NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, this year's conference focused on the "sounds of the city" and featured a variety of participants ranging from scholars, journalists, musicians and industry-insiders who spoke about the often complex and ultimately crucial ways that region and place play in determining the aesthetic and cultural impact of African American music production.
In a roundtable discussion entitled, "Musical Crossroads: Framing the Story of African American Music in a National Museum," Chuck D and the Musical crossroads team spoke about mission of the museum and highlighted some of its musical acquisitions, including the P-Funk Mothership. They also discussed the band's connection to Washington, D.C., the St. Louis roots of Chuck Berry via his Cadillac El Dorado, and the Detroit-based sacred steel guitar work of Felton Williams. Museum staff showed how these objects will provide an avenue into larger discussions about place and cultural identities within the museum and the Musical Crossroads exhibition.
The roundtable also served as an opportunity for panelists and session participants to explore the ways that regionalization and urbanization play out in African American music history and how it can be explored in a national museum.

Officials in Connecticut say that tens of thousands of gun owners have thumbed their noses at a new state law requiring the registration of firearms deemed to be "assault weapons," The Blaze reported Thursday.
As of Dec. 31, police have received 47,916 applications for "assault weapons certificates" and 21,000 incomplete applications, Lt. Paul Vance told The Courant.
Officials also estimate that just 15 percent of the weapons in Connecticut have been registered.
"No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000," the Courant added.
According to The Blaze, officials in the state and some lawmakers are stunned at what appears to be statewide civil disobedience.
At least 20,000 individuals -- and as many as 100,000 -- are in direct violation of the new state gun control law.
By owning unregistered guns defined as assault weapons, the Courant explained, all of them are committing Class D felonies.
Mike Lawlor, "the state's top official in criminal justice," suggested the state firearms unit could "sent them a letter." An aggressive push to prosecute gun owners in the state is not going to happen at this point, however, he warned, those who violate the law will have to answer to authorities.
"Like anything else, people who violate the law face consequences," he said. "That's their decision. The consequences are pretty clear. . . There's nothing unique about this," Lawlor said. "The goal is to have fewer of these types of weapons in circulation."
He also suggested the legislature reopen the registration period to encourage more gun owners to register their firearms.
"I honestly thought from my own standpoint that the vast majority would register," state Sen. Tony Guglielmo, R-Stafford, said. "If you pass laws that people have no respect for and they don't follow them, then you have a real problem."
Guglielmo, the Courant said, heard from a constituent at a meeting in Ashford, who said most of his friends with military-style rifles have not come forward.
"He made the analogy to prohibition," Guglielmo said. "I said, 'You're talking about civil disobedience, and he said 'Yes.'"
Others, like Scott Wilson, president of the 12,000-member Connecticut Citizens Defense League, say the low registration numbers may be due to ignorance on the part of some gun owners.
"There are a lot of people, they just do not know about this law," he said. "There are people finding out now after the fact."
The new law was passed in response to the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newton.

Pedal faster Chewie! FASTER!
It's Friday and I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend! As the last blog post of the week, I chose Star Wars characters riding bicycles! Yes I know it is pretty random, but thanks for Super Punch, I found these two great illustrations from 20 year old artist Christina who goes by redredundance on Deviant Art. Theres two pieces in the "Star Wars characters riding bicycles" collection by Christina. First (above) is titled "Hyperspace for Two" and the other (after the jump) is called "Use the Force…" (which seems to be a parody of E.T.). Can you see how happy Chewie looks? It is soooo adorable! Thanks to Christina, I'm going to have a great weekend! HURRAH!

Is it possible to run 64-bit guest OS (linux/BSD), using VirtualBox on 64-bit capable CPU, but when host OS is 32bit? (Host may be linux or windows.)
Will 64bit guest run at full speed or it will be slow (64-bit wide instructions emulated like in qemu)?
If 64bit guest will be full speed, is there some 64-bit microOS inside virtualbox? There should be 64-bit host OS to correctly switch between 32 and 64 bit code.
This question is raised because I want to run several virtualized 64-bit Oses and do a highload test between them.

Cheap Trick's First Five Albums – Rock's Best Hot Streaks
The Rockford, Ill. quartet quickly established themselves in the late '70s as the undisputed titans of power pop.
The Rockford, Ill. quartet quickly established themselves in the late '70s as the undisputed titans of power pop.
Just days after Heart's recent cancellation of their SeaWorld performance in light of the controversial documentary 'Blackfish,' Cheap Trick have joined a growing number of artists who have placed the marine-animal theme park on their s--t lists.
During their 40 years as a band, Cheap Trick have been on the road more than they have been at home. And 2014 looks to be shaping up in much the same way.
The members of Cheap Trick have fired back against a lawsuit that was recently filed by their exiled drummer, Bun E. Carlos.
Long-simmering tensions between the current members of Cheap Trick and the band's absentee drummer, Bun E. Carlos, appear to be boiling over into the courtroom.
Two years after the stage collapsed in the middle of Cheap Trick's concert at the Ottawa Bluesfest, the band has filed suit against multiple parties involved in the festival, seeking $1 million in compensation.
In a span of less than six months, Cheap Trick released one of the all-time great debut albums and its terrific follow-up. The group then delivered a rock and roll triple play with the release of 'Heaven Tonight' in May of 1978.
Worn out your vinyl copy of Cheap Trick's legendary 1978 'At Budokan?' Here's a chance to make new memories, as the band presents the same exact set twice in celebration of the concert's 35th anniversary.
Cheap Trick and Pat Benatar + Neil Giraldo will be teaming up for a run of US concert dates this summer, in what should prove to be a can't miss evening.
Anthrax has released a fourth song from their upcoming album of classic rock covers called 'Anthems.' The group revealed a version of 'Big Eyes' by Cheap Trick for fans to enjoy. The entire album will be available on March 19 in the United States and on March 22 in Europe.
More sounds from the upcoming 'Sound City Reel to Reel' album have been released. Rocker and film director Dave Grohl has teamed with Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and bassist Scott Reeder to create 'From Can to Can't,' a soaring rock ballad that will transcend one back to 2002 when everything on the radio was thick with heartache power chords and thin on melody.
With a cachet like Cheap Trick has, it's not frequent that they open for other bands, but the group just signed on for another leg of dates supporting Aerosmith and that suggests that camaraderie has eclipsed billing in terms of importance for the veteran rockers.

PHOTOS! Here are pictures of Anderson Cooper friend Benjamin Maisani. Benjamin Maisani is reportedly co-owner of Eatern Bloc, an East Village bar.
Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani were snapped recently with sport bikes. Benjamin Maisani wore a polo shirt and aviator shades. Cooper opted for a polo of the same brand. How ironic. Both wore jeans with Cooper adding in a Nike hat.

Cooper, alone, is now reportedly on vacation in Jaipur, India. The New York Post says "Anderson's room has a large round bathtub. On the first night it was filled with bubbles and sprinkled with red rose petals."
The location is the Rambagh Palace that costs a reported $3200 a night and features garden views of the Maharajan palace.
Reportedly, Benjamin Maisani is Parisian and a former bartender at an establishment named Barracuda. No comment by either to the report.

A major new winter storm is heading for the Midwest this weekend, which is expected to dump as much as 12 additional inches of snow in Central Indiana, starting sometime between late Saturday night and early Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Snow is expected to fall throughout the Midwest, spreading into parts of Tennessee and Alabama as well.
In addition to blowing snow that will likely create hazardous driving conditions, Indiana and other Midwestern states – including Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin – will also be hit by a deep freeze and sub-zero winds that will dunk temperatures into the minus teens and 20s, with wind chills making it feel as low as the minus 50s and 60s in some areas, warn meteorologists.
Forecasters are predicting historical record lows this weekend for much of the Midwest.
"It's the mother lode of cold air," Weather Channel coordinating meteorologist Tom Moore said. "On the heels of what will be the coldest air of the season, will be dangerous, life-threatening winds."
According to Allstate, 70 percent of winter weather-related fatalities occur in an automobile, which makes this a good time for brushing up on some Winter Safety Tips that could potentially save your life and the lives of others.
First and foremost, keep in mind that even if you're just running out for a quick errand, the weather can turn unexpectedly bad, causing road conditions to rapidly deteriorate, and result in that "quick errand" turning into a potentially dangerous overnight ordeal.
Aside from the obvious dangers of slippery roads due to ice and snow, cars can also become stranded when temperatures dip below freezing, leaving you and any passengers stranded and stuck too.
It's therefore important to be prepared before you head out into potentially dangerous weather. Putting together a Winter Safety Kit with the following items stored in your car is an excellent first step to protect you and your loved ones in case your car gets stuck and stranded in freezing temperatures overnight:
- A blanket or sleeping bag
- A flashlight with extra batteries
- An extra winter coat, mittens and a wool cap
- A portable radio with spare batteries
- A small shovel
- Bottled water (at least four quarts)
- Cellphone and charger
- Chemical hand and body warmer packets
- Emergency flares
- First-aid kit
- Flagging tape
- Folding knife and multi-tool
- Jumper cables
- Nylon cord
- Small candles with waterproof matches
- Snack foods (e.g. energy bars, nuts, dried foot, etc.)
- Toilet Paper
- Tire chains and rock salt (sand or kitty litter are also good for added traction)
- Winter boots
A few other tips:
- Do not run your car constantly in order to prevent snow from getting into the exhaust pipe. Instead, run the car for brief 20 minute intervals to warm up before turning the engine off again.
- Also roll down a window just low enough to allow the car to ventilate. This will help prevent carbon monoxide from building up.
- While waiting for help to arrive, use blankets, extra coats and other warming items from your Winter Safety Kit to keep warm.

Englishman Ian Poulter will arrive for his Australian Masters defence in the form of his life after shooting a seven-under-par 65 to snatch victory in the $US7 million WGC-HSBC Champions event. The Ryder Cup hero started the last round four off the pace at China's Mission Hills, but crafted eight birdies against a lone bogey. He sealed a nerve-jangling, two-shot win with a steely par putt on the last hole. Poulter fired rounds of 69, 68, 65 and 65 for a 21-under-par 267, with Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Jason Dufner and Scott Piercy sharing second. Australian Adam Scott was four shots off the pace in a tie for eighth.

Reviewers came out highly impressed with the device. The multitasking features, notification system, multi touch screen, and revamped webOS platform in general all received praise for actually bringing some innovations to the mobile space rather than just following the lead. In terms of basic industrial design, the Pre also received high marks in most reviews, though some believe the build quality is only so-so and that the device "feels plasticky." Certainly, there is room for improvement here.
There were also some other gripes with the Pre, of course, but apparently none serious enough to be a deal-breaker. These included concerns about battery life, tiny keyboard and a thin supply of applications – which could change if Palm can attract third-party developers. Overall, it looks like Palm is finally back in the market with a solid contender that has nothing to envy its rivals – unless Apple comes up with a surprise next week.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- Western Kentucky Geography professor, Doctor John All, joined a group of six mountain climbers last week to collect data from the mountains of Nepal.
After experiencing a devastating fall, satellite connection to Facebook was Dr. All's first cry for help.
"He is absolutely lucky to be alive," said Clinton Lewis, WKU professor.
WKU professor, Clinton Lewis, was one of the first to view Dr. All's plea for assistance last Monday morning.
While preparing routes for his group's trip, Dr. All chose to venture ahead to map out the upcoming climbs. Little did he know, a devastating fall into a crevasse prevented him from moving forward.
"A crevasse is simply a break or crack in the ice of a snow field. The crevasse he fell in really wasn't that wide, maybe four, five, or six feet total,"
Although the width of the crevasse doesn't seem fatal, the depth of the space is unbelievable.
"he stopped about 70 feet down. if you've seen the video, it goes on several more feet if not seventy more feet. there is no telling how far those go down." said Clinton Lewis, WKU professor.
While in the crevasse, Dr. All was able to use satellite connection, allowing him to post his experience on his personal Facebook page and the "Climber Science" Facebook page. This allowed Lewis to keep track of Dr. All's events.
"Which is really unique that you can monitor a rescue attempt in real time now with all of the communication devices and Facebook and everything," said Clinton Lewis, WKU professor.
Six hours after his fall, Dr. All was able to successfully climb out of the crevasse. Three hours after that, he had successfully rolled back to his tent.
"There are very few people that fall into a crevasse that come out to tell a story. Or, in John's case, tell the story and then come out," said Clinton Lewis, WKU professor.
Dr. John All suffers from five broken ribs, a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder.
Lewis says Dr. All is in route to the United States where he will undergo surgery for his arm injury.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - University of Arizona sophomore Alicia Hollowell earned her second consecutive and seventh Pac-10 Conference Pitcher of the Week award after another weekend full of victories and strikeouts in the circle for the Wildcats.
Hollowell went 3-0 and struck out 38 in two victories over No. 7 Stanford and a near-perfect game against Oklahoma State in UA's Worth Wildcat tournament last weekend. She improved to 14-0 on the year and carries a 0.71 ERA with 179 strikeouts in 88 and one-third innings pitched.
Against the Cowgirls, she struck out 17, one shy of her career best, and missed hurling a perfect game by giving up only one single against 22 batters faced.
In Arizona's 7-5 come-from-behind victory over Stanford on Sunday, Hollowell was roughed up some by the Cardinal, allowing five earned runs and a couple of long balls. But when the Cats regained the lead for good, she set down the Cardinal in order in the seventh.
At 21-0, Arizona is off to an outstanding start. The school record for best record to open a season is the 31-0 marks by the 1994 and 2001 clubs. UA also opened 30-0 in 1997.

After a story about the July 26, 2012, arrest of a glider pilot for flying in unrestricted airspace over a nuclear power plant made waves in the aviation community and beyond recently, an official with the sheriff's department that made the arrest said in a post at AOPA.org that his department had learned several lessons on how to better respond in the future. Check it out here.
Still not sure why they didn't give him the option to be questioned on his own free will. He probably would have complied if given the option. Arresting him is not the only option they had in order to question him.
So the sheriff's idea of 'deescalating' a situation is to throw a pilot into jail on a trumped up charge.
He's still a bonehead.

I have been an information systems expert for 13 years, working for a large manufacturing company, as well as a large business software company (SAP).
In early 2008, the green bug hit me. In particular, the realization that solar energy should become the most widely energy source in future generations.
That made me start ThetaNoon - an online community of solar energy systems owners and those interested in becoming owners themselves. Solar system owners add their P.V. or ThermoSolar systems to ThetaNoon, which starts automatically calculating the systems' output. That information is available to everyone-both the solar system owner, as well as anyone interested.
I plan to continue working on the ThetaNoon project and hopefully other solar energy issues.

VAN NUYS, CA — LeWood Productions' Anal Required 2 is now available through Evil Angel on DVD and VOD. The second release in the series from LeWood includes four of porn's most popular anal performers in over two hours of extreme hardcore anal-stretching action.
The husband / wife directing team of Mark Wood and Francesca Le presents a movie full of nonstop, hardcore vignettes, where rough anal is the only way their sexy subjects are able to reach screaming, orgasmic bliss. Anal virtuosos Sarah Shevon, Holly Michaels, Laela Pryce, and Dianne Dee enjoy sphincter-loosening violations by Mark Wood, as well as Chris Strokes. The scenes feature threesomes, gaping, gagging, spanking, double penetration, and more. A dynamic display of anal prolapse by Sarah Shevon is a must-see for those searching for the "holy grail" of anal acrobatics.
"It was a pleasure to shoot Anal Required 2 for LeWood," says Shevon. "Francesca Le and Mark Wood make a great team of true perverts and collaborate well on male and female perspectives, giving the viewers their best effort all the time. They are also wonderful people to be around, so I'm sure the genuine enjoyment I shared on set shows in this release."
Le says, "We absolutely love gorgeous women who open their backdoors for us with this kind of enthusiasm. Holly, Laela, and Dianna bring their A-game and Sarah is really something special when it comes to anal scenes. We're thrilled with how this DVD came out, and I know our fans are going to love what we've created."
In addition to over two hours of nonstop hardcore anal action, Anal Required 2 also features interviews, teases, photo galleries, a cumshot recap, trailers, and behind-the-scenes footage.
"This release pulls out all the stops," states Wood. "I'm still reeling from how hardcore the scenes were and our fans are going to go crazy for these girls and their dirty, dirty ways."

UN AND AFRICA: Rural women farmers in Uganda need more access to land and inputsListen /
• Rural women farmers in Uganda produce the bulk of the country's food yet they still don't have access to land and inputs needed for agriculture. That's the view of a Ugandan woman farmer, attending the 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. She says rural women should have a say in discussion of sustainable development goals that will replace the Millennium Development Goals after 2015.
Somali farmers feeding their countrymen again
• Somali farmers have for the first time supplied high quality food to the UN's World Food Programme (WFP). It will be used to feed their fellow countrymen. It's a major breakthrough for the farmers, especially coming from an area that faced severe famine less than three years ago. A severe drought in 2011 affected 4 million people in Somalia.
EU helps Zimbabwean farmers increase production
• A programme, funded by the European Union is helping small holder farmers in Zimbabwe to increase their crop and livestock production. The EU has donated $19 million which is being channelled through the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to help Zimbabwean farmers to commercialize their production. FAO says the programme will be implemented in Zimbabwe's Provinces of Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South and Manicaland.

Women's Basketball Tames St. Xavier, 80-72 in Exhibition Opener
Nov. 7, 2002
Chicago, Ill. - New University of Illinois at Chicago head women's basketball coach Lisa Ryckbosch made her debut a memorable one as the Flames earned a 80-72 exhibition victory over St. Xavier at the UIC Pavilion on Thursday night.
"I'm glad to get the season going," Ryckbosch said. "I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning.
"There's a lot of things to work on, but it's great to play against someone besides ourselves."
Senior shooting guard LeKesha Williams (Oklahoma City, Okla./Midwest City) scored a game-high 34 points to pace the Flames offensive attack. Williams also finished the contest with six rebounds, five steals and four assists.
"I was so pleased with (Williams') energy and enthusiasm in every facet of the game," Ryckbosch said. "I thought she played terrific."
UIC also received solid efforts from senior point guard Consuela Hall (Childersburg, Ala./Childersburg) and sophomore forward Chastity Quinn (Farmington Hills, Mich./West Bloomfield). Hall recorded 15 points and was 3-of-6 from beyond the three-point arc, while Quinn chipped in 10 points and five rebounds.
UIC jumped out to an early 17-8 lead over the Cougars, led by nine points, including a pair of treys from Hall in the opening five minutes of the contest.
St. Xavier, bounced back and went on a 12-4 run, led by six points from guard Mary Cain to give the Cougars the 21-20 lead with 10:40 left in the half.
Williams, however, made St. Xavier's lead a brief one as she scored 10 of her 15 first-half points to help the Flames head into the intermission with a 42-33 lead over the Cougars.
Williams continued her hot streak in the opening minutes of the second half as she scored 11 points to lead UIC to a 13-4 run and a 55-37 lead over the Cougars.
Jackie DiMaggio and Stephanie Wright each scored 15 points apiece to lead St. Xavier, while teammates Mary Cain and Jayme Brown each added 12 for the Cougars.
UIC will be back in action on Thursday, November 14th as they will host the Chicago Challengers at 6:00 p.m. at the UIC Pavilion for their final exhibition contest of the season.

Photo: Anatomy of a Galapagos Cruise Ship
August 21, 2012 | By Dan Askin | No Comments
Sand is highly corrosive. Excursions in the Galapagos often begin or end on a beach head scattered with sea lions (and their scat). So the stern platform on the 48-passenger La Pinta it outfitted with handheld showerheads. Just up the stairs, wetsuits and mesh snorkel bags hang to dry. In the small lobby, a goodie basket of Dramamine empties during choppy overnight stretches of a July cruise. For a ship based in the unforgiving Galapagos, adaptation enables success. Still, it's not all about survival on La Pinta. The one-time Bahamas-based casino boat also has amenities that any mega-ship cruiser would appreciate: roomy, 189-square-foot cabins with impressive tiled showers; Wi-Fi; a hot tub; and dense wicker loungers for enjoying a rare idle moment.
Catch the full review of Metropolitan Touring's La Pinta.
