Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2006
Running Time: 156
Director: Otto Bauer
Company: Mach 2 Entertainment
Cast: Leah Luv, Hillary Scott, Kat (I), Dave Hardman, Rick Masters, Tiffany Holiday, Sydney Capri, Audrey Hollander, Otto Bauer, Alec Knight
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Otto Bauer, like the hockey-skates of the same surname, breaks the ice and lets it slide in this Mach 2 "supercore" production. While these girls are nowhere near the vicinity of virginity, they all maintain vivacious innocence in the wake of inevitable rear-entry. Audrey Hollander sports a strap-on at disc's end, and solid performances throughout are highlighted by Sydney Capri's gagging and bubble-butt double penetration.
Unfortunately, the disc misleads in the claim of four d.p.s, but makes up in the quality and quantity (over two and a half hours) of sex it offers. Weak extras keep this DVD from scoring higher.
Pre-nom for Best Gonzo Release, regardless.
Retailing: Big names, big cocks, big holes, big sales!

text: TripAdvisor Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. TripAdvisor ( TRIP) is enjoying some stellar performance this year, rallying more than 45% so far in 2012. That's proving to be a pretty good move for endowment funds - endowments picked up nearly 600,000 shares of the online travel site in its late 2011 public offering. That means that these funds are laying claim to all of those gains. TripAdvisor did something different in its business model -- it opted to become a destination site first and foremost, fuelled by more than 60 million travel reviews posted to its site. Those reviews make TripAdvisor the go-to website for consumers looking for boots-on-the-ground travel opinions on the places they're considering visiting. That niche provides TRIP with a constant stream of potential advertisers who want to offer travel services to the site's 50 million monthly visitors. The decision to split TRIP off from Expedia (EXPE) should end up being beneficial for both firms - it unlocked value for Expedia shareholders late last year, and it should help unlock revenue opportunities for TripAdvisor that wouldn't have come about with Expedia at the helm. With deep margins and brisk sales growth, TRIP should see its finances continue to improve in 2012. While this stock certainly isn't cheap right now, it's got momentum on its side in the second quarter. TripAdvisor, which is also one of Jana Partners' holdings, was featured recently in " 5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out." Prev 4 of 6 Next

Every season I look forward to Bruce Feldman's list of the biggest athletic "freaks" in college football. In Feldman's own words, the list spotlights "those guys who are the top workout warriors in the sport or the guys who possess some rare physical abilities that wow folks inside their programs."
Four Pac-12 players made the 2016 list, including three in the top seven.
2. Devon Allen, Oregon WR: The only player ranked higher than Allen is Texas A&M linebacker Myles Garrett and you can certainly make the argument either way. Yes, Allen has punched his ticket to the Olympic Summer Games in Rio, but when you look at a guy like Garrett, you wonder how many sports he could excel in if he had the timeo. At 6-foot-5 and 262 pounds, "he power cleans 440 pounds and bench-presses 485 -- staggering when you consider he also has a 40-inch vertical and his fastest 40 time at A&M," Feldman wrote.
4. Adoree' Jackson, USC all-everything: No. 4 seems to be about the right spot for Jackson. He qualified for the NCAA track and field championships in long jump, but didn't win it (like Allen). He also sits on this list behind LSU running back Leonard Fournette, who is a definite athletic freak.
7. Takkarist McKinley, UCLA DE: Mora told Feldman that McKinley ran a 10.6 100-meter dash in high school and even though he has put on a lot of weight since high school, he still has that top-end speed.
20. Freddie Tagaloa, Arizona OL: One of two offensive linemen on the list. Feldman cites Tagaloa's 475-pound bench press as a reason for cracking the top 20. Not too shabby, indeed.
Make sure you check out the full list to get a good idea of the players who might be making the craziest plays this fall.

Anyone able to point me to a good plugin like what I'm looking for?

Are the harmonics of a single shot affected or is this only relevant when talking about repeat fire or rapid fire?

One thing you can do with your AK that would help....replace the trigger.
Check out Red Star, for an adjustable AK trigger
Red Star Arms Inc.
A few years back, they did a test with a .223 VEPR K model, installed a Red Star trigger group. If I remember right, the base figures were that the gun averaged 2-2.5 moa on a rest @ 100yds, using Black Hills 69gr. Not too shabby for an AK system, but then again the VEPR's were put together a lot better than most.
After the trigger group install, they were able to achieve 1.75 moa, with a best of 1.3. I'm sure there are probably a few more mods you can do to yours to improve that. Also you might want to check out Mark Krebs

My belief, because the gas pressure behind the round is bled off and forces a stopped piston to lurch into motion before that round leaves that pencil thin barrel, which affects harmonics, is that YES.
It is affected on a single shot, but nowhere near as bad as it is under heavy sustained fire....

The AK system rifle performs exactly as it was designed to. Dont buy a AK variant if what you want is a tack driver. It was designed to be a combat accurate but reliable rifle for close-med range targets.
To fairly evaluate the rifle you must examine it within the scope of its design-intent.

I saw this thread when searching for something else AK related and thought I would join the fun. Im new here but have around 6000 posts on the AK on other boards. Im not bragging just want to give a little back ground. after reading the above posts I felt compeled to comment
IMOO the AK 47 and variants are possably the most under esimated gun in regards to accuracy. Most of there bad PR is due to guys shooting ammo that is garbage when it comes to accuracy potential. that and the crap trigger and poor sights.
I have built some pretty accurate AKs, I have several stock barreld 7.62x39 builds including a 12.5" barrel pistol that will shoot under 1" at 100 yard 4 or 5 shot groups. I also have a a couple custom barreld 7.62x39,s that will do well under 1" groups. they have .308 bores and tight chambers but the actoins are pretty stock. all are scoped and have tuned triggers.
I have a heavily modifed AK in 223 that will shoot SUB 1/2" Groups consistantly. I have shot Praire dogs out to 700 yards with it. The gun runs a
26" heavy varmit barrel 1-9 twist that is floated and the rest of the gun is pretty modifed. how ever it still runs a pretty much stock bolt and carrier and and it is built on a bent tapco non fully temperd reciver. that is basicaly of stock design. The pont being is the action will shoot accuratly
IMOO all this bussiness of the pistion in the gas system causing inaacuracy and all the stuff about the loose fit of the carrier and bolt to the reciver is false. MY 223 build shot virtualy the same with no gas system installed as it did with all the gas block, gas tube, ect installed In fact the the best group to date was with the gas system installed. It has shot a .437" four shot group and 5 shot groups at just under .500"
To many guys just dissmiss the AK as inaccurate with out really trying to do any thing with it. I deer hunt with a scoped AK pistol in a local pistol/shotgun zone and I have taken deer out to 225 yards ( thats really pushing it BTW ). I varmit shoot almost exclusivly with my AK varmit build. Im working on a 260 remington version currently.
Good ammo is vital to shooting getting much out of them. hand loads and load development work are critical to getting much under 1" groups.
in 7.62x39 hand loads are almost mandatory. seating the bullet out as far as the mag will allow helps and if any brass can be found that has a thicker neck it would help some AK chambers have over .012" of neck clearance and a ton of free bore. I have a custom reamer that remidys on a custom barrel build. I have made better brass from 220 russian blown out to 7.62x39.
220 Russian is the parent round of the argueably most accurate round on the planet. the 6mm and 22 PPC. winchester brass will work pretty well for basic accuracy loads. bullet selection is not great but Graff & sons have apretty good selection. going to a 308 barrel solves the bullet problem.
Here is a link to a site that has more info about mine and otheraccuracy builds with lots of good info. (i hope its ok to post it here) I welcome any one to check it out
ACCURIZING THE AK - Gunco.net
here is some pics of a few of my more accurate AKs. the orange target was 10 shots at
200 yards
with my 223 varmit AK build while adjusting the scope during a sight in. the circle is around 5 shots with no scope adjust and the others were with a click or two to the left. had I Not been trying to get it zeroed it likley would have been a quarter sized 10 shoot 200 yard group. Many $1500 AR,s cant do this.
Most good barrel AKs with a trigger job, optics on a quality mount, and good ammo will shoot in the 1" -1 1/4" range. some will do better. MY AMD pistol amazes me from a bench. I recently out shot a guy at a range that laughed when I was getting ready to shoot at the 100 yard target. he quit lauging when I out shot his Rem 700 308 with factory ammo.

Very good info. biggun. But I do have one question. How much does something like that cost? One of the biggest appeals of the AK 47 is its affordability.
It seems like you know your AKs, so can you tell us some basic adjustments that can be made, short of re-barreling the gun. (which probably costs about as much as an entire rifle) I love AKs for many reasons, one of which is the amount of gun you get for your money.

Hell of a post 1BIGGUN, great information and personal experience. I have always liked the AKs and AK variants from personal use experiences. The ammunition explanation information was right on, IMO.
Nice looking AK .223 build.

I built that perticular gun almost 5 years ago. when kits were $50 I had $110 into the barrel that was of a new savage varmit rifle. I turned to to fit the AK trunion. and then built the gas block from scratch its a tight tollerance long bore deign to reduce gas port Dia. and took a GB and milled off the top and bottom welded the bottom to a square barrel sleave that fit the almost 1" OD barrel and then welded in a plate to the top to allow me to bolt on a weaver type rail that I milled from solid steel. the materials for all that was around $30. the Flat was $9 the trigger is a very modifed tapco with adjustment screws added it breaks at about 2 LBS and is very touchy. this is not a gun you pack loaded ever!. I have about $25 in the trigger. the bolt is from a bulgarian 223 as is the bullet guide ithat ran about $80 the fore grip is a Sagia take off that is gutted out and has the rear cut of and floated with a milled plate ran along the bottom bridgeing from reciver to the fore grip. the fore grip was $10. the stock is a much modifed ATI part with a crude cheek rest it was $55. the scope in the picture is a BSA 6.5x24 that ran around $75 I need a better scope but it does work and hold zero but I dont touch the knobs for any thing once sighted in. add another 50 for incidentals and finish and it comes out at just under $500 with optics, the bipod shares duty with a few differant guns its a Versi a Pod. about $65 .
with a factory stock and no optics and it would have been under $400. there is 4 years of development into it I shot it a year with no gas system loading it by hand. it has about 3500 rouns through it and its starting to loose a little bit of accuracy but will still do around 1/2 inch. today the same thing can be done on a barreless kit for about $150 more. it should also be pointed out that I recently sold the un used , bolt, stock set, barrel, for more than I paid for the kit initaly so in reality you can subtract the $100 I sold the extra parts for so in reality I have about $300 in it with out optics but a ton of work. that gun was built in a non stop two week marathon build and the paint was wet when I but it in the RV for the first praire dog hunt. I built it on a dare. my buddy has a nice rock river AR varmit build and saw my hunting pistol and said there was no way I could make a ak come close to his AR. I have out shot him the last three times at the range. he likley needs better ammo. His rock river is a nice gun not sure its worth $1500
Nice writeup, but those two ground hogs don't seem impressed.
LOL ya those dam babby prairie dogs sat under that barrel going off all damm day and never flinched. I was throwing 22lr cases at them they were about 3 " away. the top of that hill was 700 yards the ones part way down werent impressed either there dead. that gun is really good to 400 yards and then the 223 starts to loose its effectiveness. IM working on a 22-250 version and a 260 remington and also a 17-223 . 1000 Yards is my goal its reall hard at those ranges with out range finders that will work and scopes that you can crank the adjustment around and then back and go back to were you start. I had a unconfirmed hit at 800+ yrds with it but wasent able to find a body a half a mile away. I have some better pics and info on the build Ill post in a bit

Well I'm most definitely impressed by your devotion and expertise in regards to the AK 47. I have to admit it is my favorite rifle. Too be quite honest that's because I understand its mechanics better than any other self loader.
That being said... there is no way at this point in my amateur gunsmithing ventures, that I would be able (or have the time or equipment) to complete such an in depth, complicated, custom build.
Your guns are very impressive, but are beyond the realm of the "Standard AK rifle". I think whoever started this thread was interested in certain tweaks, mods, replacement parts, etc. that could be accomplished by more typical, "standard" AK owners.
I'd love to hear something on that level.

Rightwing1: Maybe your life is a struggle because you are a bitter racist who is not very bright.
How, umm, "wonderful": a movie that lets you feel good about yourself without actually having to do anything to help anyone (let alone take any risks to do so). Because (of course) you the moviegoer can smugly assume that you would have done the right thing, had you been placed in a difficult situaton.
Other than those who wish to fantasize about their moral purity, who would want to see such a vapid picture?
@rightwing...you don't HAVE to listen or read this. You CHOSE to just so you could have something to complain about. GET OVER IT. It happened...it's worth talking about to someone. And tell me how many black men you know personally that have benefitted from affirmative action? And do you even understand what affirmative action is? It is ensuring that EQUALLY qualified people of color are represented in the workforce. I would be willing to bet that if you whine in real life like you do on here...that may be a part of why you are struggling to find a job.
Is this movie or the storyline behind it going to affect your life in any way? Affect your physical ability to work, or take care of your kids? I'm willing to be that its not. So take it for what it is...and move on.
@KebAndMe -
Rightwing1: Maybe your life is a struggle because you are a bitter racist who is not very bright.
House is paid for, have 1.3 Million in investments (very frugal) and have 3 college degrees including a master's degree in engineering.
I worry because thats the way i'm wired up. Maybe some of you "minorities" should try it, it's called responsibility.
Rightwing1 (wow, there's a shocking nickname), you probably forgot to let us know what a good Christian you are too. You have the knee-jerk reactions of a scared mongrel. Your degrees are likely so detached from the "humanities" that you have unibombed yourself into manifest-writing mode in some cottage up-north. Your ignorance was screaming out with your,"Prior generations had no problems." Riiiiiight, when everyone knew their place, right? When lyching, poll tax, Jim Crow, etc, etc, etc, ruled your version of the great USA pre 60's. The good news is there are fewer and fewer of you radical fundamentalists...you are so much closer to the Talibans & "terrorists" than you will ever know. Because, like them, your eyes are closed to anything bu "getting yours" by making sure "they" don't get theirs.
Rightwing1 (wow, there's a shocking nickname), you probably forgot to let us know what a good Christian you are
Used to be Christian, it has been hijacked by socialists, community activists and homosexuals (catholic church mainly, especially the jesuits).
What is your next dig. .. I wait with bated breath.
why is it ok for blacks to hate all white people & not be called racist ?? at this rate we will never move forward !!
Why make movies like this? It would be better to not constantly remind us of how our ancestors were treatd and how we are still sometimes treated. Just my opinion, nobody can ever take that away.

A must for oral sections.
A cast of 21 girls and an unknown number of cocks are featured in each of these all-oral tapes marked by stellar camerawork and video quality.
The ladies all have good cock-sucking ability, but when it comes to talking dirty into the camera, only about half of them are even remotely convincing. Luckily, that same ratio applies to oral fanatics who will even care.
Shelbee Myne, Melodey Love, and knockout Euro-red-head Livia stand out in Vol. 15, shot almost entirely outdoors; while Liza Harper, Claudia De Corazon, and Kristi take the cock.... uh, cake in the mostly-indoor Vol. 16.
SUABM snags a solid pre-nom for Best Oral Series.

1724 in the wilderness of the Colonies.
"Damn good brandy!"
"And you thought camping with a surveyor would be uncivilized. Come. Let me show you the secret around these parts. And the more brandy you have the better you can see it. ... That hill yonder. See the moat that swirls around its base? See among the trees its crown of crumbling stones?"
Straining to focus his misty eyes they slowly widened in wonder.
1999 on the Orange line.
Between West Falls Church and Balston I like to look north from the train for the window cut through a chimney. Looking south one day in the leafless winter, just east of East Falls Church, I saw a sharp hill rising out of the middle of suburbia. "What is that?"
I gathered the troops: 9 year old boys and a girl armed with souvenir flintlocks from DisneyWorld and wooden swords from the Renaissance Faire. Crossing what looked like the remnants of a moat we stormed the summit. In victory we examined the peak's crags of orangish rock. Our minds spinned into...
All around us were the reddish orange battlements. Below lay large pieces of the fallen tower, once gleaming of white quartz.
"What smells of elderberries?"
"You Father. Ever since lunch. Can we get a hamster?"
"Ask your Mother."
Suddenly the trojan rabbit hurled itself over the battlements. Sprinting northeast down the path it jumped on a chunk of white tower quartz stuck in the path. Puzzled, rabbit pulled from its waistcoat a watch, or possibly a compass, and dashed off at 120 degrees. Only to stop short on another white rock. White Rock? Don't they make ginger ale? Looking nervous and late rabbit dashed off again at 60 degrees leaping some 40 giant steps to a very large tree. Also a very small tree. Between them rabbit furtively searched under a six inch square chunk of orange battlement and flashing its tale, surreptitiously vanished.
"Curiouser and curiouser," I remarked.
"Because she's made of wood?"
We walked down the hill to the Roman road to read all about it.
Later as I pondered over brandy our adventures, the more I pondered the more I came to believe we had found the ghostly ruins of a castle lost in mists. May I recommend Irish Mist?

The Best Air Travel Offset Ever
My flight was canceled — and you thought I was a glass-is-half-empty type. Not at all — that's why this blog is named Climate Progress.
On the bright side, I did get to spend seven hours in lovely BWI Airport. I won't name the name of this airline that refused to let anyone know what was happening for hours and waited seven hours to cancel the flight — but I will say I was not free to move about the country.
On the downside, my drive to and from the airport was a complete waste of emissions. But back on the bright side, I have decided to go for the six-hour train ride today — not sure I could've gotten on a decent flight today anyway if I had wanted to risk it, but I didn't wait around the airport at 9:30 pm to find out. I haven't done the math, but I do think the train emits fewer emissions.
I was headed for a mini vacation, which has now been reduced in duration by 25%. I don't expect to be blogging too much over the next few days, and I think in any case there is no point in further responding to the Deniers on an earlier post, since they keep repeating arguments that have long since been scientifically debunked (e.g. the sun is to blame for current warming).

Well…, I really enjoyed our train vacation (from Ventura County to Seattle). During dinner and sleep, the miles kept going away (and I wasn't driving!).
Enjoy your time!
You might find this document helpful in the future:
Table 2.12 has the data in BTU per passenger-mile for 2004:
Cars 3,496
Trucks 4,329
Motorcycles 2,272
Transit buses 1,294
Airplane 3,959
Intercity rail (Amtrak) 2,760
Commuter rail 2,569
So your rail was probably 40% or so more efficient than the plane.
FYI, I originally looked at
but it appears that someone has edited that and made several mistakes; at least some of the numbers look quite a bit off to me. For example, it is not clear it is an apples to apples comparison. As much as I loved the EV1, I don't think 168 Wh/mi is the right number to use from the cited reference (that even looks low for the battery pack output to wheels), and the 373 Wh/mi number that is also in the reference looks too high (drivers tell me that they got something around 250Wh/mi).
It is also unclear that 1.3 passengers miles per vehicle mile is the right number for cars (the BTS data suggests 1.58 or so).
