There's no better time than the dead of winter to revisit the work of the band whose name conjures up visions of summer: the Beach Boys.
You can thank EMI Japan for the latest Beach Boys reissues; the company requested the releases as a tie in with the band's most recent tour in Japan, and so they've been released in this country as well. In addition to being remastered, most of the releases have mono and stereo mixes, some previously unavailable, and it's a great way to get the two mixes on one CD. But unlike the "two-fer" Beach Boys sets that came out in 1990 and 1991 (and were upgraded a decade later), there are no bonus tracks or extensive liner notes.
"Surfin' USA," the band's second album, has one strong song (the title track), a couple of good ones ("Lonely Sea," "Shut Down"), and a lot of filler — there are five instrumentals for one thing, and three of the other songs are covers. Granted, "Misirlou" (yes, it's a different spelling from Dick Dale's original) and "Surf Jam" do rock, but it shows the band's creative juices weren't entirely flowing yet.
"Surfer Girl" also kicks off with a classic track (the title song), and is overall a much stronger album. Perhaps not coincidentally, it's also the first album that Brian Wilson officially produced, and you can hear him begin to stretch out, as on the string arrangement for "The Surfer Moon." The album also has "In My Room," "Little Deuce Coupe," and "Catch a Wave," as well as some pretty good second tier numbers like "Hawaii," the wild closing instrumental "Boogie Woogie," and a heavy surf theme ("The Rocking Surfer," "Surfer's Rule," etc.).
If "Surfer Girl" rode the waves, the "Little Deuce Coupe" album cruised the streets. But there are only eight new songs, as four of the tracks (including the title cut) are recycled from previous albums (one of them, "409" is presented here in a first-ever stereo mix). It's still fun as a collection of love songs — to cars. There's a cautionary note sounded in "A Young Man is Gone," a tribute to James Dean, and "Be True to Your School" and "No-Go Showboat" are also highlights.
"Shut Down Vol. 2" opens strong with "Fun, Fun, Fun" and the sublime "Don't Worry Baby," but then suffers from surfeit of weak material, most obviously in the case of the painfully unfunny mock "rehearsal" track "'Cassius' Love vs. 'Sonny' Wilson." Too many of the songs feel like rough drafts instead of finished work, and the covers ("Why Do Fools Fall in Love" and "Louie Louie") are okay, but nothing special. Still, you do get "The Warmth of the Sun" along with the two classic opening tracks.
The rest of the reissues will will be covered in Part 2 and Part 3 of this series.

Urban Fashion Fix: Celebrity Body Shape Guide Part 1 – Pear's | StylePrint This Post | |
Everyone knows that women come in all different shapes and sizes. However, did you know that everyone has a body shape that will not change, whether you gain or loose weight? This shape is your body frame and effects how your body stores weight, it's is genetic.
In this month's Urban Fashion Fix Kizzie Amor presents a guide showing you how to dress according to your natural body shape, making the most of your assets. In this article we'll help you dress for your shape, whether you're confident or not, and reveal simple tricks on how to draw attention to your best bits, counter-balancing any problem areas.
This article will be spilt into four parts, starting with
The Pear body shape.
Pear: Attributes
Pear's have slim shoulders, average boobs and hips wider than their shoulder width. Variations within the pear shape are either; a full curvy bum and thighs (Classic Pear) or small/flat bum with full thighs (Skittle shape); or larger hips and fuller thighs than a classic pear, plus or minus a curvy bottom (Bell shape). Pears are prone to gain weight around hips and thighs.
Pear Celeb's: Rihanna (Classic Pear), Beyonce (Classic Pear), Jennifer Lopez (Bell), Shakira (Skittle), Alicia Keys (Bell)
Well tone and confident Pears can wear the fashionable jumpsuits drawing attention to well toned arms, shoulders and backs. Harem pants with a fitted vest/top will highlight toned, slender, torsos. But be sure to wear them with heels to avoid adding extra bulk to already curvy hips. Think Rihanna; dressing young and fresh, making the best of her curves.
- Rihanna: Classic Pear – Body Shape
For a more classic look, wear fitted dresses that skim the hips, and off the shoulder or V-neck dresses which create an illusion of balance (looking like an Hourglass shape). Think Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez when dressing up for an occasion.
- J-Lo: Bell Pear – Body Shape
- Beyonce: Classic Pear – Body Shape
For less confident Pear's you can create balance by wearing darker colours on your bottom half; a-line skirt and empire line dress, which is fitted on top and flows around the hips. Wear heels where possible to elongate the legs, slimming the legs and calves. Wear wide lapels on coats and blazers to give the illusion of wide shoulder, wear lighter shades and print on your top half to draw the eye up to the smallest part of the body. You can top that with ruffles on shoulders, or puffed sleeves, to create wider shoulders that will compliment the hips. Halter necks give the illusion of making the shoulders look broader, balancing out with your wider than normal hips.
Avoid skinny jeans unless you are confident. Stick to straight legged jeans which avoid tightening around the calves and avoid the hips looking bigger. Avoid wearing loose fitted clothing on top, aim to draw attention to the smallest part of body (your top half) with fitted tops.
Here are a few other pears that might be familiar to you..
- Shakira: Skittle Pear – Body Shape
- Alicia Keys: Bell Pear – Body Shape
We hope Part 1 of of our Body Shape Guide proved helpful and encourages all you Pear's out there to try something different and make the most of those curves!
Look out for Part 2 of our guide which will be the famous
Hourglass body shape.

Gene Upshaw
Posted by David Kennedy
We here at Dave's would like to pay our respects to Gene Upshaw, yet another in a long line of 70s era players who have died much to young.
Upshaw was a stalwart on the Raiders o-lines of the 70s, and is in the hall of fame. But his work as the head of the NFLPA was outstanding. Love him or loathe him in that role, he changed the face of the NFL, got players more money, and was instrumental getting the NFL as popular as it is today.
May the football gods welcome you warmly.

Judge upholds lower court's decision to dismiss charges against Maryanne Godboldo
DETROIT (WXYZ) - On Friday, a Third Circuit Court judge upheld a lower court's decision to dismiss the criminal charges against a mom accused of firing a shot at Detroit Police during standoff that was triggered by her refusal to give her daughter an anti-psychotic drug that she believed was doing more harm than good.
It's the latest in a court battle that has lasted nearly three years, and has included a judge's decision to twice dismiss the charges against Maryanne Godboldo that included Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Police Officer - Assaulting/resisting/obstructing.
Detroit Police were assisting a Child Protective Services worker in 2011 when they went to Godboldo's home to remove the teenage girl.
Much of the problems with the state's case rest upon a removal order that was rubber-stamped and never actually reviewed by a judge before removing the girl.
CPS workers believed her child needed psychotropic medication and say Godboldo refused to give it to her. But the mom says the drug was hurting her daughter and that she was doing what doctors said she could do by weaning the girl from the medication.
The felony charges against Godboldo have been dismissed twice by a district court judge, and Friday the Wayne County Prosecutor's office lost their attempt to have the charges reinstated once again.
A spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office release the following statement after Judge Gregory Bill upheld the decision by a district court judge that dismissed the charges.
"We don't agree with the court's ruling today affirming the dismissal of the case. We will take the case to the Michigan Court of Appeals."
Godboldo has also filed a lawsuit against Wayne County arguing that police violated her rights by trying to take away her daughter without a valid court order.

I really can't stand this guy… I guess it's because I'm not into young twinks…
Why are all the girls and gays in love with him? Is he thaaaaaat good and thaaaaaat beautiful?
I think I'll just stop writing now or some fans might tell me I'm a hater again.
So for all you Bieber lovers, I suggest the Bever Doll (picture after the jump), have fun !
Oh I forgot, I need to ask you the question: Justin Bieber, Hot or Not ?
No she is a pretty girl without a doubt. Cant argue he is a cute kid. But way to female for me. As far as his music most can say hate it. but hate it or not it will stay in your head all day. He has catch phrases and pretty good track music. But not my taste
I'd hit it….with a baseball bat.
NOT. Too gay acting for me. Give me a real man and let the kids have beaver
Justin Bieber is nice looking, but not hot, very not hot!
All his dance moves are warmed over Michael Jacksom!
And he doesn't have a style or how to dress!
I'm not into his music, and I don't think he's the hottest guy on earth, but I would fuck the hell out of him if I got the chance.
To me he looks like a lesbian lol he seriously looks like a girl trying to look like a boy
he is sort of cute but at the same time not really
Sorry, not!
He is just one creepy looking girl. Sorry to be hating on him, but something just ain't right about that little boy. Not to mention his musical contribution to society. lmao
In a word: no. He's also voiced anti-gay sentiments in the past. While I don't doubt his talents that he's letting go to waste, not hot and nnot worth my radio time.
I'd fuck him, just to say I fucked him. But I'm not attracted to him. It's like rihanna, both talentless yet everybody's in love with them.
I wanna fuck him so hard!
Can you guys send me one of those dolls? I'll test it out?
Hey Dave,
He is cute in a twink sense…I like a bucket of chicken now and then. What turns me off about Bieber is that his music is awful and he is a complete idiot. I have seen interviews with him and he is just an absolute moron. That is such a turn-off. I give him credit because he has done much for charity work, but he is such a boob. A cute smile only gets you so far.
I am a man and I like men…not girlie boys.
if ya like little gurls, trying to be a man……..
NOT! He is so fake, so sick of hearing about him. News, internet, etc. the worst. And me as a gay dont want him the str8 ppl can have him.
NOT…a sissy-boy…
dont no if he hot, have to see more of him
Not, just NOT.
I think he is ok deff more on the hot side
Hot? Not so much. But he is a very attractive young man. He once was an annoying ass little kid but now he is a man with a nice body and moderately good talent. Wentworth Miller, Chris Evans, Jason David Frank, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew Bomer- these are some people who cal be called hot.
I wanna pound him so hard!
Can you guys send me one of those dolls? I'll try it and test it out for you guys.
He's hot, I like other twinks like me. but everything douchy that he does is a HUGE turnoff especially his overalls encounter with the PM.
yess he is hot is
mildly cute, not hot. he looks too much like a perky young lesbian.
You are so right about him he is not hotIt unless you like little kids!
He is not hot now. Cute yes. But not hot…. Yet. Wait 10 years and he will be hot…
He is like a foot tall….nothing is hot about that
I wouldn't say that he's "hot" but he's cute, and he's put on some muscle/tone up recently. I'd suck his cock and bend over for him!
My opinion is she's NOT hot, he needs a more meat on his bones, his douchy attitude is such a big turn off, I predict he has a breakdown soon due to, in his words, his haters. Blah blah blah. Him and taylor swift need to both fall off a cliff
Not! He would be much happier if he would come out of the closet! He is too effeminate for my taste. I like MEN; not a prissy, silly girlie guy!
Not hot and it would tragically funny if he turned out to be gay.
It is pedofile to think he is hot!
not my cup of TEA……
Wait . . . thats a guy?
All the gays are NOT in love with him.
UGH! where do these guys come from? NOT HOT
no attraction whatsoever. he is a little gay queen but is afraid to come out of the closet.
he is just trying to be usher and not doing a good job at all needs to grow and and stop pulling on his pants like he has something
I'd fuck around with him but I don't respect him. Maybe a little verse just to make him scream like the bitch he is.
I Thick he is Hot as fuck and hell yeah I would love to have a night with him
NOT!!!! Not into twinks….so maybe when he's 30 he might be hot..with chest hairs ;))
Can't lie; I wouldn't turn him down. Lol
HOT… Id do him, the guy has talent. id like to see what talent hes hiding in the bed.. or maybe hes a virgin,, then i can teach him a thing or too. anyways hes worth it to me…
He says he's straight. Why is that not resepected? Why is he being considered for "do him"? The Loud and Proud, who claim to represent Gaydom, complain they're not given the respect they deserve by society. This post totally disrespects Bieber. The Loud and Proud cannot demand respect when they don't give it themselves.
He looks like a young lesbian. Not to my taste, and as for his music, I don't think I could name a single one of his songs much less identify his voice. Very un-memorable!
If I wanted to feel like a child molester ( yes I know he's
18.. But LOOKS 12) then .. Yeah.. Maybe I'd do him.. But
I prefer MEN… Hot sweaty beefy men… Not boys
no, he is not. absolutely he is not, he is like a girl and i do not like girls, i love boys, men and guys !
Give him 10 years to hit puberty and mature… then maybe. His dad is hot as fuck though!
He is also a self absorbed jack ass. A friend of mine did his makeup for something and said he was a spoiled little brat!
So hot! I love twinks and hes perfect
He is a little cute and yeah like some one said i'd fuck just to say i had but he does look like a girl, maybe when he gets older he'll look more manly but right now it is way to easy to mistake him for a lesbian (sorry ladies). And his music is meh at best.
He s a very smart kid…and I think he will be hot when he get older.
hell naw, he has to grow into being hot, right now he is just a pissy little girly kid
I would pound him with my Big Black Cock
No – looks like a girl.
@ Rob, lol, "a cute smile only get's you so far." I wish this was true but come on, how many times have deeply stupid empty devoid of personality people gotten ahead in life just by being pretty? This is america and lets not even get into how well that skill set works in the gay community. Anyways, enough of my bitter pill. So i can see why some would think he's cute, but i'm waiting for him to actually go through puberty and start looking like a man and not a silly lil 18 yr old. Remember Justin Timberlake before his solo career, now look at him. Hope he ages well.
also, most of the people i know say they'd fuck him just to hate-fuck him or that they're into twinks like him and then they just go into deeply graphic and terrible detail about what they'd do to him even though he still looks like a minor.
I like him– love to see him shirtless! love shirtless twinks!! be better seeing nude pic of him– wonder if there are any nudes of him floating around in cyberspace? I'd so fuck him too!!
He's a sexy young man
Come out come out wherever you are…. Please…
Yes he is hot. I would fuck his twink ass
The lil prefab puppet is on the cute side, but def NOT hot. Yet…
When he grows up and becomes a man they'll be a big difference in his looks. He'll be one of the lucky ones who grows older gracefully. As for his music (having been a professional musician) he's guy a nice voice. What irks me is the attempt to look like a white Ice gangsta boy.
No not hot at all
Justine bieber is cute, but not hot, he needs to workout that way he can be perfect at all. I want to fuck him.
No, I don't see why everyone is into this kid.
Not. He Has such an ego. Though I'd love to see a big daddy bear put him face down in a pillow and give him a correction.
I think he's hot and I would definitely fuck him, I'd fuck the shit out of him lol … but he's not really my type and I too am waiting for him to strut right out the closet!
I would definitely do him!! I love twinky little guys!!!!
NOT!!! Ewww…! Who the fuck is Justin Bieber anyway and where the hell did he come from?
Ellen is so proud of her gaybby!
But gay Men say NOT!
not into boi's that look like gurls, he make a pretty gurl and thats all, he/she probably has a little pink teenie weenie, in any case he might be a good fuck but I do not think he could handle my big thick cut cock….no way he has a teeniee weenie ass hole just like his teenie weenie cock.
Justin Bieber is not hot he is probably as gay as Tony The Tiger at a pancake party
Gross. He's like a child. Maybe in forty years when he's legal. NOT haha
I like sex with men not lesbians. Sure he has a certain cuteness, like other 12 year old middle-school kids wanting a date to the dance. For me i like a MAN not a little girly-boy !!!
I'd suck Janet Reno's dick before I'd suck Bieber's. Just sayin'!
wait… is that a boy? if so, this world is upside down, not hot whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok Just Bieber is not hot. Hes disgusting.
She is not hot in any way shape or form.
Marcus can u fuck me.
Id rather fuck his ex-girlfriend
Unh uh, that doll is the fool. Anyway, I would have a nasty, sloppy threesome with Kenny Dope and Louie Vega before I let homegirl anywhere near my bedroom.,
i absolutely LOVE TWINK BOIS!! and i would do anything to make justin my little twink bitch boi.
Not hot at all.
I think he is really cute. He is a good looking guy.
In the words of his equally annoying peer, Taylor Swift…"Never, ever, ever, ever!"
big time NOT… he is a little creep…
NOT!!! What a girly twink. Nothing manly about this guy.
I'll hit that shit even if he looks like a lesbian lol
He's a girlboi raised by a mom. Go figure! So many of the younger guys who are coming up and are being raised by "moms" are coming out girl-like. These boys need a man in the house. How sad for our future…
I read this post and thought "…all the gays love him? Which gays?". Then i read the responses, assuring me i am not insane. The definition for "hot" may be relative but, no. Hell no. He may be cute to some, but so are most 12 year old girls. Handsome? Sexy? Manly? No way.
NOT!!! I have encountered him and his bodyguards he is a total ASS HOLE, I gave him a chance and he blew it so I have lost respect for him and I feel sorry for anyone that has to work with him.
Just another hyped up pretty boy. His music and his style are just warmed over somebody-else-from-the-past. The young people have to have a current focus and he seems to be the lucky one. He'll crash when his 15 minutes is over, since there's no basic talent to tide him over, and publicists will find a new flash.
Not hot now , maybe in a few more years
Don't say all the gays ,u may wanna say the gay teenagers
It's sad when we cannibalize our own. Why must so many gay men demonize someone who is a bit afeminate. Guys, the gay (and straight) world of men contains the whole range of masculinity and femeninity. Everyone has his own tastes, and this guy is pretty but doesn't attract me (and I wouldn't know his music if it bit me) but there's nothing honorable in bashing someone for not being as masculine as some homophobic redneck would want him to be.
I think it's too late for all ya'll twink gay sissy boy fuckers. Usher done ripped it open! lol
OH YES — he's smoking hot!
He is a pretty lil thing…
Usher beat ya'll to the Punch..lol
he is a cute enough boy, but that's also the problem with him….he isn't a man. Men are hot, boys are not, unless you're a pedofile. I agree with the posts that say he will be hot in 10 or so years, maybe if he lives that long. But hot now, no damn way ! Just no, not ever ever ever ! Now, don't be hating on Taylor, she's a doll !
I dont think hes hot or tallented. Even a dog can make a hit record with the right backing, and voice-overs. Also, he is just about the only male artist in his age group. Who else is young,white,teenage groupy girls going to follow?
NOT – He looks like a lesbian…..
Hot I think his singing sucks but I would love to get naked with him in bed and teach him a thing or two nice
I will say he IS cute, but not OMG hot. The only way I'd change my opinion is if it's revealed that he has like a 12 inch cock and huge low hanging balls. Other than that not so hot no.
looks like a q tip…. I would fuck him just to make him squeal,,, it would be a def. grudge fuck,, a brutal no mercy ass slamming them send him home to cry,,,, he will fade away soon enough,,, his i am GREAt attitude is why i would no mercy fuck his prissy little sissy ass
So not. He's about as cute as flu shots are pleasurable.
NOT! I just don't get what people see in him. I'm glad the guys on here feel the same as me. I was beginning to think I was going crazy.
There is a God. I thought I was the only one who thought he was all that a bad voice. They must hire 10 people to surround him all the time and tell him how good he is. That is one sad dude that Usher id trying to mold into someone he will never be.
if your a pedophile i guess he would appeal to you. although I would love to see him choke on my 9″…
Everyone hasa type, but I know that guys who like delicate looking effenimate twinks probably drool over Beiber (and there's nothing wrong with that. It did take me a long time to be conveinced that Beiber was actually male, because he still looks like Hillary Swank from the movie "Boys Don't Cry"
I'm not really a fan of the Biebs' music, but it cannot be denied that he's a cutie patootie. As long as he wears his cloths properly… can't stand all that sideways hat and droopy pants bullshit. But, if I had the opportunity… I would fuck him silly and back again.
Justin Bieber hot no way bout as hot as tony the tiger being fucked by the lucky charms guy
NO! he's a child. i like men.
I'm relived to read here, that I'm not the only one who is not TRANCED by Justin Bieber! I was beginning to think I was loosing it, or experiencing testerosin failure because Justin Bieber seemed to be pretty much about nothing luke warm and constantly staying that way! And people like Ofera calling him: rock-n-roll entertainer of all time? Even the charts rank Justin Bieber in the bottom 10 of music sales! And it doesn't help that girls scream now, every TV show…..I must say Justin Bieber is less bland than the XXXXX Brothers – I can never remember their name or music?
Ask me again in 10 or 15 years!
Although he's not personally appealing to me (for a number of reasons) the lookism and sexist remarks here are way more appalling than Bieber, not to mention the awful internalized homophobia from gay men calling him a "girl" and effeminate. So what if he has a strong feminine side? Young girls find that safe and appealing as they grow into their adult selves; Bieber was never meant for adult audiences. The question is: do you find him hot? Not: what can you find in this human being to deny his essence?
I'm not into lesbians
Cute, yes….hot,, no………he seems like a sweet kid who was raised correctly
Not hot at all and I can't see how he could have made a baby. I don't think SHE has the right body parts for that.
Justin is weird in the sense he's 18 he's a legal adult yet it just looks like he just started puberty. Why hasn't Justin grown any facial hair. I hear Justin's voice is just starting to get deeper. He looks TOO YOUNG maybe in five years he will look like a man.
Hot is not the word I would use, beautiful is! Absolutely!
I doubt he could ever be hot he has nice qualities but i would never ever do anything with him aside from slow painful unsatisfying torture.
I think he is hot and I would bottom for him anytime he wants.
I would pound him and make him call me Sir. and no, not hot.
He's great if your a pedophile, ewwwww. Give me a mature man…
No! Like a dude with at least a little body hair!
Who? What? He is cute or hot? Are you kidding me? He is the biggest pussy doll I have ever seen. I don't hate him. Since day one I saw him I know he is going to be popular, I actually thought he was fucked first to get so popular, still I would not doubt at. Ha ha ha – because he is "girly" cute and girls like that, and as for guys if you like kids go for. Yaks!
Kid is dumb with a capital D. Google Justin Bieber and German basketball and you'll see what I mean. He's cute but dumb as a sack of dildos.
I think he id , I would love to suck him up and taste his ass, yummy, I would fuck him good.
Two words "EWWWW" and "NO"… Can we change subject already how about Mathew McConaughey- Joe Mangianello or Chris Evans .. Those are my type of men….I'm so HOT thinking of them right now. Lol !!
if he wore some tight jeans, sexy sneakers and a muscle shirt he would be ok with me an if he sang some good old country music LOL other wise id eat his hutt an suck his dic once maybe twice but not as a reuglar thing
She looks like her and Miley Cyrus could pass for sisters.
I think he looks cute but he is kinda of vierd looking in a cute way with that pig nose of his lol
Your a hater Dave. Ha! Love you! and just keep wondering How the Hell you keep coming up with your Stuff, I love your Blog and all the Comments, I Kinda owe you a thanks! THANKS! and Justin is Great for he's got Humor! So Make sure you Laugh for that Blow up Doll of him was Kinda Freaky! When did that Cum Out? you think he Knows about it???
Cravenmoorhead : ahahahaha it came out when he turned 18
i'd fuck the hell outta him.
NOT! And as for waiting 10 years for him to become hot, nobody will remember him in 10 years.
Fuck yes he's hot. Has anyone seen this guys bulge in his underwear getting out of that hot tub – or that stomach?! His abs are hot as shit. Not gonna lie, I've jerked off to him quite a few times.
ok. here's the thing. i love twinks!! freaking love them! but i do not think justin beiber is hot. at all. the attraction just isn't there. consciously. i DID have dream-sex with him once and his cock was, like, 8 or 8.5 inches and uncut. didn't get to see it all the way through because something woke me up. but since then, i've wondered what he's like in bed. or even naked. so, do i think he's hot? No. do i want to see him naked? i think so.
not for me
He's worn out his welcome. His voice is as flat as the rest of him…
I don't think he's hott at all. Some stars little fuck toy.(Usher) who decided he wanted to make him a star. We already know he can't keep a woman, so maybe he is gay. Not that he has lot of talent or gay fans. Maybe he should go back in the closet, til he grows up and become a real man. Can't believe he told Oprah he wanted to get married before he turned 25. What woman would want him, money or not!!
cute pretty probably a bottom i would rim & fuck him till he screams like a girl
Sure, I love slim cute twinks, as well as "bois" that look like girls. I disagree with those that say he resembles a lesbian. He's NOT butch at all !
cute and that is it. But the gardar on him is peaking at 100%. Gay haircut and really fem.
NOT. complete waste of oxygen.
Today is aids day…. and your talking about this? Sooo lame.
Lets hope dec1 is actually a topic worth discussing
He looks like a lesbian
not. i like my men more masculine and rough looking.
Really not cool to see so much hate and disrespect here. The guy is only 18. He isn't really my type but he is maturing nicely. I would take his dick.
He is cute for a little boy. He can say he is ctraight and I can say I am a virgin doesn't make either statement true. But it doesn't matter. If I wanted a girl I would go out and find one. He is way too feminine and as for talent OPEN YOUR eyes boy you are a white boy sing act and dress like one and pull up your pants.He has done some really good things for charity but would I "do" him? not if I had the chance!
Hot as fuck! I'd like to choke him with my huge cock & gag him with my big spooge load!
No way!!! He reminds me of some spoiled punk ass kid that needs his ass beat. In that "girlfriend" song he talks about"swagger". Really??? My dog has more swagger and he's a Chihuahua. I can't help but to laugh at Justin bieber. Throw him in drag.
I would drain that boy pipe and eat out that perfect ass .
he's funny because he's always got a boner and is always grabbbing his junk !! get's old and irritating after a while . . . . .
no way, like a real man with some body hair not a kid that acts like a little girl no way with him at all!!!!
Ahhh cum on…he is a pretty "girl"…I have fucked several "prettyboys"…bottoms that luv the dick…if he turned that smooth boy hole up, I would fuck and fill his tite little boypussy…then have him lick my thick cock clean…simple
NOT! Too pretty to be attractive to me. I like younger men, but he's sooooo young and way too pretty… I'd feel like I was with a woman… ugh 🙁
I'm with you, I never understood why girls were crazy for him because to me he looks like a little girl. Sorry don't mean to be mean but that's just my opinion. Nor do I like his music. To me he is so NOOOT HOOT! or maybe I got immunized therefore; never got the "fever". LOL
NOT…..he is to femme for me ….,maybe he will grow out of it
He is a cute kid, but his music is garbage for my taste. I would love for him to spend a night in my dungeon chained to the wall. Maybe even invite a few of my friends over and run the gauntlet on him.i guarantee his voice would be different the next time you heard him sing having his vocal chords and hole stretched out all night!
Hey 22uncutnhorny, If Justin isn't available to come over I was wondering if you were…
@Micho..Rihanna talentless?! R u out of your mind?she's one of the best artists out there..anyway now with Bieber,yea of course he's cute,but he's a bit too young,I would say he prob seems like he'd be a lot of fun to be around though,and I wouldn't consider him a "twink",he only dresses and looks like he does because of his music and his stylist,and with your twink comment Dave,wow..u really can't stand twinks?I'm not a twink,and not into em sexually,but I can deal with them..but yea ill admit especially nowadays with how more openminded society is..the boys are comin with handbags,makeup,skinny jeans,and pearls to match! LOL..but hey there's always people in a certain "group" that are annoying. Anyway,sorry to get off track lol..I prefer men in the sack myself,but think Bieber would be fun in bed,so id say hell yea..and hell if he likes me enough ,he might buy me some shit too LOL…
I have to agree with @Hunter's post on here. One gets respect when one gives it. Pointing fingers at someone completely diminishes no one but the finger pointer. He says he's straight so this post is moot, and the discussion, inappropriate. I guess my last post was deemed inappropriate to post, so who knows what will happen to this one? Maybe it will end up in the "Moderated" Black Hole!
I'm with G90814
If I ran into the Biebers I'd rather seduce his father.
Who knows? Maybe there is a chance for Justin to develop some "hot" but it's a loooong way off.
No, sir.
Not spoiled brat not got time to train lol
Not at all. Let the closet cases have at him.
Was he in the movie, "Boys Don't Cry", no that was Hilary Swank.
To even feature him here smacks of pedophilia
Well he just seems average to me, I wouldnt have sex with him thoe, but hes average but hes not the cutest twink boy ever thoe either, without is popularity and him being a celebrity or a hip hop pop star or whatever, he'd just be another average joe boy.
Michael Jackson left a big hole-Justin Bieber seems to have fallen into that hole, but barely filling it! More of an ECHO! Girls are screaming! But I don't hear anything memorable for music? Pop Stars come & go, Justin Bieber seems to be hanging around a bit longer…..Probably not much longer……
IDK if he's 18 or not he looks 12 and I know puddles deeper than his lack of songwriting ability.
I want a man with a big cut cock and a squeky clean bubble butt ass so he can fuck my hot tight hole and I could eat his squeky clean bubble butt ass.
I think Justin is very cute and everyone hates on him way to much so what if he is gay we are and he is making millions what do u have… I think he is extremely cute and would date him and do naughty thing hehe
He's cuter than most of the guys on this site
omg so cute and fuckable! would love to nail him hard at both ends.
Hot as hell, I definitely wouldn't throw him out of my bed.
He's better than the red-neck troglodyte "Blake", but that still doesn't say much. He is not on my list of top 100 guys, nor even top 25 celebs. But if I had to, yeah; I could do him.
I think he's hot.
He's kind of cute recently with the shorter hair. However, he needs to get rid of all those arm tattoos!

Outdoor hockey is back at Soldier Field for the first time since the 2013 Hockey City Classic. The event, dubbed the Coyote Logistics Hockey City Classic, will see Michigan face Michigan State and Western Michigan take on Miami-Ohio. All four of those teams played in the former Central Collegiate Hockey Association, but are now split off into the Big Ten and NCHC conferences, as per realignment.
The event will take place on February 7, 2015 which will be followed up by ten days of public and corporate ice time. In the 2013 event at Soldier Field which featured Minnesota, Wisconsin, Miami-Ohio, and the University of Notre Dame, the games took place on the same ice but only after the corporate and public skating sessions were completed. That's not the case in 2015, as previously mentioned.
"Obviously, we felt we had a very successful run in 2013," said Drew Russell, Intersport's vice president of sports properties. "We felt that year off from (Chicago) was important so the event continues to be a novel concept."
Coyote Logistics also enters as the event's corporate sponsor, who is also based in Chicago. With nearly $2 billion in annual revenue and 2,000 employees in sixteen offices nationwide, the third party logistics provider felt it necessary to sign on as corporate sponsor.
"This fits well into our broader marketing mix as we continue to grow the brand," Coyote Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Sisler said of the company's largest single marketing expense. "It's going to take our brand awareness to a new level." Believe it or not, Coyote was a low-level sponsor at the 2013 Hockey City Classic.
Tickets for next year's event are said to be released in October at $19 each.

Artist: Fabolous
Album: More Street Dreams Pt. 2: The Mixtape
Genre: Hip Hop/Rap
Yea, its 'bout to get real hard for these niggas to move man
Somebody get these niggas some wheelchairs or somethin'
Goin' to war is still a scary issue
But in my hood they train to kill wit every pistol
Like a military issue
Guess you a star if you sell a million every disc two
Catch a gun case an' bounce, still they'll barely frisk you
Cuz, I proved I move the retail
Make the smoothest grooves wit female
And I remove the rules on V12's
You never ain't never seen it move this smooth on Sprewell's
I'm a hustler, he's just a middle man to me
The way I pass the rock, could make Jason Kidd a fan of me
Just cop one joint, I'm a one point somethin'
Still I had you at gunpoint, with one joint dumpin'
So watch what you say to them, crackers
I'll put a couple g's on yer head, like you play for the packers
I'm rap's Labron James, I quickly see baskets
These scrubs wouldn't make it to the Mickey-D's classics
You got some sticky weed, pass it
If not put it out, I'm pushin' it before they put it out
Wit the dash, wooded out, Shaq O'Neal, footed out
Blastin' a do-did-it, first before they put it out, clue
Maybe wouldn't be a million kids wit they faces on containers
If cops pursue the same way they chase us entertainers
In the hood, a few big faces and a chain-a
Get metal in ya mouth, like braces and retainers
Even the young bucks be scheming on somebody change
Tryin' a sell somebody 'cain, before they even potty trained
You can smooth talk your way into a hottie brain
Have her suckin' long enough to leave a nigga body drained
I wasn't taught, I learned from watchin' stupid people
That'll run up shootin' in front of a group of people
I lay in a cut, the same way the troopers peep you
Ride up on yer Coupe creep you
Why you let a groupie deep you?
'Cuz even if you reppin' like a man of steel
You gon' still need a weapon when you land a deal
One for watch you slippin' like you steppin' on banana peels
Think a nigga ain't gon' pull a weapon cuz you scanned a mil'?
I crept in and got handed meals
Now the white and black rides look like salt, pepper on a bannon grill
Think I wouldn't hold a Pepsi in my hand for mil's?
You must be fuckin' stupid, nigga
Brooklyn stand the fucker
Every project, rebourse, Kings Borough
Push wig, for grain
Fill it in, brown fill
Lengston you, LG
Linda, bandi, steflo, Brooklyn
All believe, Glym wall
Abyss fill, faragay
Talkin' stumlo, Guonas
I'm just the project nigga myself

Halting the Clinton Dynasty; or, Thunderdome 2016
June 30, 2016
"People should and do trust me."—Hillary Clinton
The marathon that is the presidential political campaign is coming to an end, and things are getting real uncomfortable. Information and insults are being thrown from every direction and it's difficult to know what sources to trust to provide the truth on who the political candidates are and what they stand for.
Well, if you enjoyed Ted Rall's Bernie and Snowden graphic biographies (psst he's got a new one coming out soon), or believe anything Noam Chomsky has written, or are interested in preventing a real life version of The Hunger Games, you should seriously read Doug Henwood's My Turn.
Henwood's new book is concise, fact-based, and meant to get people talking; it is not about Bernie Sanders, not about Donald Trump, and not about misogynistic rants. Instead, Henwood goes point by point through Hillary's personal and political history to illustrate how she is not the candidate she claims to be.
The College Musings of Kurt Vonnegut
June 22, 2016
"Well all right."
It doesn't have quite the same ring to it as "So it goes," but the pointed understatement and faux-cheerful stoicism are already in place. As is the skeptical attitude toward the glories of mass slaughter. We at Seven Stories hereby present to you the "Well All Right," the college musings of Kurt Vonnegut.
In the Cornell Daily Sun article linked above, a twenty-year-old Vonnegut eerily prefigures the subject matter of his later novels. "Cheers for the Army, the Navy . . . the WAAC's, the WAAVs," Vonnegut writes, mocking the gung-ho attitude of the university's war recruiters and the nation at large, "to hell with the slackers in college." Decrying the revolving door between war recruiters and the university, he seeks to remind his fellow students that there's no shame in putting aside war for a moment and getting an education. Aside from attending classes, Vonnegut writes, "what we do is justly our own damned business!"
Yet in three month's time the author himself had left Cornell for the Army.
Ecoreading on sale for Earth Day!
April 22, 2016
It's Earth Day! Earth Day XLVI, to be exact, and observers all over are largely focusing on the US and China, two of the world's biggest contributors to climate change, which have agreed to mark the day by formally signing the Paris Agreement, a binding resolution on curbing ecological destruction that has been joined by 120 countries.
At Seven Stories, we're marking the occasion by offering 50% off all our titles related to climate change and ecological activism, including Subhankar Banerjee's Arctic Voices, a stunning collection of first-hand accounts from the front lines of the war to protect our frozen north; Noam Chomsky and Laray Polk's Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe, a book of stark warning aboutthe twin dangers of too much and too little action; Tom Athanasiou and Paul Baer's Dead Heat, a polemic that connects hand-wringing over climate to bigger issues of justice along lines of ferocious clarity; and, of course, our suite of books by the uncompromising Derrick Jensen, the poet-philosopher of the ecological movement whose books, many and pathbreaking, include Dreams, What We Leave Behind, and many more, including, with comic artist Stephanie McMillan, the surprisingly merry As the World Burns: Fifty Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial.

An interview with Barbara Williams
April 1, 2016
We sent some interview questions to Barbara Williams, whose new memoir of life in the logging communities of Western Canada, The Hope in Leaving, we recently published to early acclaim. Besides an author, Williams is a successful actress and accomplished musician. Spend a minute here — this is a terrific read.
Why did you decide to write The Hope in Leaving now, so many years after the events it describes took place?
It took many years and much distance to achieve a perspective on those events, to be able to distill them into art. I've always been journaling but acting was my primary creative focus. After my son was born I wanted to be present for his childhood. Other actresses can manage raising kids and working on location but I opted to stay close to home and write. My book was released on the eve of my son's 16th birthday.
Guest post by Daniella Gitlin, translator of OPERATION MASSACRE
March 24, 2016
In an opinion piece published yesterday by the New York Times under the title "What Obama Should Know About Macri's Argentina," scholar Ernesto Semán and legal expert Gastón Chiller (of the Center for Legal and Social Studies in Buenos Aires) give a forceful account of the ways in which newly elected Argentine President Mauricio Macri's administration recalls some of the most horrid periods in the country's history. They begin with the case of activist Milagro Sala, arrested two months ago for organizing a protest of cooperative workers in the interior of the country, and continue to list other traces of repression — sometimes verging on fascism — in Macri's excessive use of executive orders, his neglect of human rights abuses, and his decisions to prioritize free trade over domestic growth, profit over people. This account of a repression that comes about gradually and insidiously is all too reminiscent of an open letter signed thirty-nine years ago today by Argentine citizen, writer, and activist Rodolfo Walsh, just a day before he was gunned down in the street and disappeared by henchmen of the de facto regime, his body never found.
Reading the Bern!
February 18, 2016
Is it hot in here, or are we just feelin' the Bern?!
In an election when Senator Bernie Sanders is shaking everything up, speaking for millions of Americans who thought they had no voice in electoral politics, Bernie — the new graphic biography by Ted Rall — is shaking things up, too, blasting onto the New York Times Bestseller List, attracting interest and praise, and generally making waves.
It's easy to see why. Bypassing horse-race commentary and bloviation about the status quo, Bernie instead cuts incisively and wittily to the man behind the headlines. Who is the socialist rabble-rouser that has lodged such an unexpectedly successful challenge to the long-awaited coronation of Hillary Clinton? The son of an immigrant raised in Brooklyn, New York, Bernie seems to represent the consummate political outsider — laughed off initially, but now a serious contender for the presidency whom the polls now show in a dead heat with his rival.

Liz Swados: 1951-2016
January 6, 2016
Seven Stories Press joins with New York City and the world in mourning our friend and author Liz Swados, who passed away yesterday at the age of 64. Liz was a beacon of New York's downtown culture, an artist of rare generosity with a genius for making us feel the connections between hardship and resilience, beauty and truth, one person and another.
Born in Buffalo, New York in 1951, Liz began making a name for herself in the New York theater before she had even finished her undergraduate studies at Bennington College. Greater exposure came in 1978, with the smash success of Runaways, a theater piece Liz wrote and directed. It was based on conversations she'd had with teenage runaways — some of whom went on to star in the show — and its success exceeded all expectations: after a successful run at New York's Public Theater, it was nominated for five Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, and an Obie (which, for her direction, Liz won).
Thanksgiving with Howard Zinn
November 25, 2015
No reason to mince words: Thanksgiving is a weird holiday, one that celebrates a deplorable, genocidal history, yet is also, for many of us, a treasured chance to spend some down-time with those we love, and even, for some, an opportunity to check in and contemplate the actual gratitude for what we have, coexisting with the anger over the state of things that drives us to make change. In short, like much of American life, it's complicated.
In the interest of fostering a critical approach to that kind of complexity, and, as they say, in the spirit of the season, we wanted to share this excerpt from the classic Voices of People's History of the United States, beginning with an explanatory note by authors Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove:
On the three hundred fiftieth anniversary of the Pilgrims' landing on Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts officials planned a celebration, and asked Wamsutta (Frank B.) James to deliver a speech.

I'm not sure if this is the group I should be posting in but I saw something about dilated kidneys on one of the posts. I just had my 20 wk. ultrasound and the dr.(specialist) said that my LO has dilated kidneys and that I would need to come back in 6 wks for a follow up. How serious is this and should I be scared?
Dilated kidneys?
~ Sarah ~
They are most likely looking for reflux. You have come to the right place. I would not get freaked out about it. There is nothing that you can do right now...they will just watch you and the baby more frequently and do another ultrasound when the baby is born.
Keep us posted. I understand how scary it can be. You are at the right place.
~ Sarah
~ Sarah, Mom toEmily (12/06)..battling FTT, GERD, VUR- grade V. Heading towards dialysis and Renal transplant.
"Live life like you were dying" -T.M.
My daughter did not show signs of kidney dilation on prenatal ultrasounds but she did after she was diagnosed with kidney reflux. They often go hand in hand and do sometimes show up in prenataly. There can also be dilation present without kidney reflux (caused by other issues). In a child with kidney reflux the ureters do not stop the urine from flowing back up towards the kidneys. In more severe grades the kidney can be pretty dilated from the fluid that doesn drain. The doctors will probably want to do some tests to check for kidney reflux or other anatomical issues. The point is to find out and to protect the health of the kidneys by keeping infections away. They may start your baby on a preventative antibiotic to keep the urine sterile. This a low dose once daily to prevent infections which can be common in dilated kidneys. If the baby does have kidney reflux know that it is fairly common and treatable and usually (80%) the baby outgrows it before age 5. However, left unchecked and unwatched it can also lead to kidney damage which is why you want to run the tests and give the antibiotics if prescribed. The kidney damage comes from the infections or in severe cases of reflux from the constant pressure on the kidneys. The majority of kids outgrow this and don't have a many problems from it. Some do though and suffer a lot of infections or have anatomy issues that would lead to doing a surgery to fix it. My daughter had an outpatient surgery done to fix hers.
But really for now don't worry - easy for us to say I know! You are in good hands and they will watch this. Once the baby is born you should be referred to a ped. nephrologist (kidney doctor) or pediatric urologist (handles all the plumbing issues). Don't let them forget about the dilated kidneys though and think that everything is okay because no one mentions it again after birth. Make sure it is looked into and cleared up. Good luck!
Don't worry. When the baby is born, I'm sure your OB will make a notation for the attending pedi to do all the tests at the hospital shortly after birth (that day or the day after).
GL & welcome to the group.

Sometimes, sometimes not. It does tend to run in families. For kidney reflux if one sibling has it there is between 30-50% of another sibling having it. There is also the factor of people not being aware of a relative having it in the past because it was outgrown and never actually 'discovered'. (Or as a person who has had UTIs in the past but never knew there could be something behind the reason for them).
We just had our 24 week follow-up u/s and our baby also has dilated kidneys, I'm glad that so many people on here are so supportive and knowledgeable, it makes me feel less alone.
~ Sarah ~
I am 32 weeks pregnant and just got back from my doctor's appointment today. Since I was 20 weeks pregnant, the ultrasound showed that both kidneys were slightly enlarged. I think one measured 5mm and the other was around 7mm. I've been to many follow ups since then. Now, the left one is normal in size and not a concern. But the right one has been growing and measured today at 9.7mm. I've been told by my perinatologist that we are on the border of needing a referral to a pediatric urologist because they usually get concerned about reflux when the measurement is at 10mm. He said that there is nothing they will do until the baby is born. Once I give birth, they will give the baby an ultrasound and some other tests to check and see he/she actually has reflux or not. He said in 20% of the cases, the kids need to have a procedure done in which an injection is made at the uretur (not sure of spelling). He said it is a relatively easy procedure. 85% of children have the problem corrected with this. Most of the time, he sees children "grow out" of this reflux problem by 18 months.
My OB/GYN told me that if this was his child, he would not lost sleep over this. Chances are that everything will be fine. I'm taking his advice and remaining calm until there is something to be nervous about.
I am 26 weeks today and I am waiting for my appt in Dec, at 30 wks, to follow up on my son's one kidney. It measured at 4.1 to 4.2 at 20 wks. I pray it has corrected itself inutero. That is what they told me often time happens. They said the dilation was more common in boys and does usually clear itself up. Good luck to all of us and hopefully the situation is not too serious for any of our babies!

The summer is here and while audiences will be lining up in droves for the next big popcorn flick, Woody Allen is there like clockwork with another dose of confectionery counter-programming. His latest European rom-com is Magic in the Moonlight, a period crime caper fronted by Emma Stone and Colin Firth. It seems like Allen has been chasing the "lightning in a bottle" that was Midnight in Paris, but has he finally recaptured that magic?
The first trailer for Magic in the Moonlight suggests that Allen is digging in the vault of old ideas again. Set in the familiar French jazz scene of the 1920s, Firth plays a professional debunker set out to expose Stone's phony mystic. It all looks quite charming and is typically well-shot, but every ounce of this is warmed over rehashes of Allen's old work, and not necessarily from his best work. Sadly, that's how Allen's films have been for a little while now; momentarily engaging but ultimately forgettable.
Magic in the Moonlight opens July 25th.

College Hockey:Pioneers Edge Sioux in Overtime
First Round of Top Ten Showdown Goes to Denver
DENVER — In a hard fought, see-saw game, the seventh ranked Denver Pioneers edged the No. 8 North Dakota Fighting Sioux, 4-3 in overtime. Senior J.D. Corbin-playing his first game since breaking his leg during practice on October-got the game winner at 2:18 of the extra session when the puck deflected off his glove off a shot from senior Adrian Veideman at the point.
"There's no question we've missed his speed," said Pioneers' coach George Gwozdecky. "You could see there were times when he was a little bit, I mean, you talk about rusty. I thought he played pretty well. He's one of these guys that you know you're going to get a strong effort from every time."
The first period started with a lot of physical play. The Pioneers generated a lot of shots on Sioux netminder Philippe Lamoureux, but many of the shots came from the outside, and they were unable to capitalize on two early power plays, cycling the puck well but having difficulty getting the puck down low for quality chances.
As the period wore on, the Sioux started to get the better quality chances. Midway through the period, Andrew Kozek got off a shot from the right side boards that hit goalie Glenn Fisher's right shoulder and trickled towards the goal line, but Tom May got to the puck just ahead of a streaking Rylan Kaip and cleared it.
Late in the period, the Sioux's hard work paid off, as their top line combined for a beautiful goal. Jonathan Toews was double-teamed near the top of the right circle, and as he was going down backhanded a pass to Ryan Duncan near the face off dot. Duncan slid a perfect pass across the slot to T.J. Oshie, who had a wide open net to shoot at, getting the goal at 17:49.
"That's like trying to play against a National Hockey League line," said Gwozdecky. "Those guys are extremely talented and they play so well off each other that just trying to contain them is tough. They're really good with the puck and without it. They backcheck hard and know how to position themselves."
It looked as if the Sioux would take the lead into the locker room, but Ryan Dingle tied it at 19:18 with a singular effort on what looked like a harmless play. Ryan Helgason carried the puck up the left side boards and slowed just over the blue line, feeding Dingle as he stepped across the blue line. Dingle was hooked by Duncan as he skated towards the right circle, but got his stick down and fired a beautiful backhand shot top shelf as he neared the goal line.
The Pioneers came out stronger in the first half of the second period, using their speed to generate chances. When Chris Butler cleared the puck behind the Sioux defense, Dingle picked it up and raced down the ice on a 3-on-1. As Dingle hit the right circle, he fired a wrist shot that hit Lamoureux's right pad and ricocheted out to Tyler Ruegsegger streaking down the left side, who fired the rebound into the open net at 6:57.
"It was a big goal for us," said Ruegsegger. "I think Butler made a really nice job of staying up on our blue line to create a turnover and Ryan made a really nice shot and I just happened to be there for the rebound."
The Pioneers, buoyed by the goal, aggressively forechecked, but Lamoureux had an answer every time the Pioneers got a shot off. At the midway point of the period, it seemed the Sioux got a lift from Lamoureux's play and started to get better pressure.
When Corbin took an ill-advised hooking penalty, the Sioux quickly tied it on a great play by Oshie. Oshie streaked down the left side and, as he sidestepped a Pioneer defenseman, fell down on his back with his numbers facing the goal. However, he was still able to reach back and get his stick on the puck and slide it through the crease to Duncan standing alone on the right side post, who slid it into the open net at 12:52.
The top line put the Sioux back in front at 16:14. Duncan made a beautiful pass as he crossed the goal line, sliding it through the crease behind Fisher's back to Toews standing on the right side post, who stuffed it into the open net.
At the start of the third period, Gwozdecky shortened his bench to three lines and shook things up by benching his leading scorer, Brock Trotter, who had been having an ineffective game. Gwozdecky moved Rhett Rakhshani up to take Trotter's place and Mike Handza onto a line with Brian Gifford and Corbin.
"You could really see that certain guys were more rusty than others; I guess that's the best way to put it," said Gwozdecky. "Some nights it's your night and some night's it's not, and you accept it and you battle your way through it and if other guys are called upon they do. We shortened the bench and Brock just happened to be one of them, but I expect him to be back in full mode tomorrow."
The Pioneers struck back early in the third to tie it. May carried the puck over the blue line, fought off a check from Zach Jones and skated through the circle, then slid a pass through the crease to Geoff Paukovich standing alone at the left post, who promptly chipped the puck into the open net at 2:18. It was Paukovich's eighth goal since Christmas, after being scoreless for most of the first half of the season.
"I'm getting to the net more and am more cognizant of where the puck is," said Paukovich. "It's just confidence. We played so hard tonight that once we got the tying goal we weren't going to lose the game, and it's a great confidence boost for us and we've got to carry it into tomorrow."
The Pioneers came out flying after the goal. Dingle broke down the left side on a 3-on-1, but held onto the puck too long and his shot was easily blocked by Lamoureux. Moments later, Helgason got a breakaway on a great feed from Paukovich, but he lost the puck as he went to make a move on Lamoureux.
Late in the period Oshie almost put the Sioux back in front when he fired a shot through Andrew Thomas' legs that hit the left post and careened into the right side boards.
In the last minute of the period, the Pioneers had several good chances, but Lamoureux came up big, especially off a shot from Rakhshani in the left circle.
"I think we ended the third period well and we were able to carry that momentum into overtime," said Ruegsegger. "We started off with a great shift, Handza made a great tip and having Corbin back paid off."
"It's playoff time now," said Corbin. "Tomorrow's a new day, a completely new game. This game's over. They're obviously going to come out hard tomorrow and we've got to match that."

College Hockey:McCaw Leaves UMass AD Post For Baylor
Also Headed Up NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Committee
WACO, Texas — Massachusetts athletic director Ian McCaw has accepted the same position at Baylor.
McCaw, the outgoing chair of the NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey Committee, also served as athletic director at Northeastern prior to joining UMass in the summer of 2002. He got his start in the mid-1980s as an assistant director of sports information at a third Hockey East school, Maine.
McCaw will be introduced at Baylor this afternoon. He succeeds Tom Stanton, who resigned in August.
Baylor has been hit hard by allegations of impropriety in its basketball program and the death of basketball player Patrick Dennehy. A teammate, Carlton Dotson, has been charged in Dennehy's murder.
Head coach Dave Bliss also resigned in August, facing severe NCAA violations and possible legal charges.
McCaw takes over at a school facing a number of controversies in the wake of the scandal. Some say Baylor should cancel its basketball schedule this season. Others point to its struggling record in athletics lately while the only private school in the Big 12 as proof that it belongs elsewhere.
It is in stark contrast to UMass, where the most controversial issue during McCaw's stay there may have been the school's consideration of a different mascot to replace the Minuteman during this past offseason.
McCaw chaired the NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey Committee in 2002-03, the year in which the tournament expanded from 12 to 16 teams and from two to four regional sites. His tenure on the committee ends this month, with Denver assistant AD Ron Grahame succeeding him as chair.
Besides UMass and Northeastern, McCaw also helped run the athletic department at Tulane as co-interim AD in 1996. The next year he took over at Northeastern, where he served for five years.
McCaw, a native of Burlington, Ontario, is a graduate of Laurentian University in Ontario and received his master's degree from UMass.
UMass will begin its search for a replacement immediately.

A video tribute for Paul Walker has gone viral. Universal Studios released scenes and clips of the handsome actor accompanied by music from rapper J. Cole and Skylar Grey titled I'm Coming Home.
The coroners report revealed Paul did not die from the impact of the crash alone. He burned to death after the Porsche GT crashed into a tree and a pole and exploded into flames.
The man who was driving the Porsche GT, Roger Rodas, died from multiple traumatic injuries suffered upon impact. Burning was not listed as a factor in his death. (via tmz)
Universal has shut down production of Fast & Furious 7, which Walker had been filming in Atlanta before the crash, "for a period of time" as the studio wants to assess the options for moving forward with the franchise.

"One thing that has remained important to Jackson is the cars. He owns two bulletproof Chevrolet Suburbans that feature bombproof undercarriages. The $200,000 vehicles were built for the Iraq war. He bought a Lamborghini Murcielago to celebrate the launch of his second album. The $300,000 car was painted charcoal gray, just like his ill-fated Land Cruiser. Perhaps to erase the ghosts of his youth–and satisfy the urge he had with his Rolls–Jackson decked the Lamborghini out in an all-chrome finish."
"He recently painted his West Coast fleet a metallic blue and added matching ceramic brakes to his Lamborghini, being more interested in freshening up his existing rides than trading them for newer models–which, he says, "are starting to turn a little space-agey to me."
