This weekend brings the annual celebration of ghouls and ghosts and candy, Halloween. I never was a huge fan of the holiday myself but plenty of people are. Mostly kids and single people. Some of my favorite costumes were white ninja, black ninja, green ninja, Commander Riker and a few years ago I slapped a tap light to my chest, dressed in a suit and went as Tony Stark. Contrary to popular belief I never dressed up as Super Mario, not once. Probably a missed opportunity but I never got around to it.
The other big seasonal todo is carving pumpkins, something I was never good at. Some people are incredible at it to the point where if they could figure out a way to monetize this skill they would make lots of money. I'm talking over one dollar. Below is a collection of game themed pumpkins that makes me incredibly sad at my lack of carving skills.
The first one is a pretty basic 8-Bit mario. At first glance this seems pretty ho hum and simple but then you realize it's on a freaking pumpkin and right angles are pretty damn tough on a curved canvas with a knife. I like the question box off to the side as if Mario is heading towards it.
Unsurprisingly there are a ton of Halo carvings out there. The Halo 3 logo is pretty conducive to a pumpkin and instantly recognizable. I find the pun Haloween is annoying yet adorable. Also I was a little shocked to find a lack of Cortana pumpkins. You would think that a Halo nerd who is willing to make a Halo pumpkin would be the nerd who would have Cortana hentai as well.
I like the subtlety of this one a lot.
Not sure how hard it is to take a poster and make it a pumpkin but this is fine work.
I get the feeling that is is someones tattoo and that makes me sad.
The thinness of the lines in the helmet in this one are really stunning to me. It's an excellent job by a master carver.
It's nice to see Sony's most ambitious game of this generation still getting some love.
Really impressed by the eyes and mouth on Jim here. Very expressive and on a pumpkin!
Link has never looked so good.
Is there anything scarier to a gamer?
Was pretty shocked to see Tetris in my search. Wasn't something I was expecting to see but was glad I did. Excellent lines and I love the NES controller over to the side.
Charizard! Love that they even had the fire breath.
Always felt that Smurfette was kind of a slut.
I really dig the use of multiple pumpkins to show off the entire Pac-Man family. Even Pac-Man junior there with a propellor beanie. A character I had completely forgotten about.
Who doesn't love Raccoon Mario? Just look at the glee on his face!
And here is an 8-Bit version of Raccoon Mario. I love both of these so much!
I'm actually surprised that I didn't find more of these. This seems like a pretty simple yet effective pumpkin design. If I were to be carving a pumpkin this year I would probably attempt this one.
Always thought Dr. Mario would've sold well regardless of the Mario license. Such an addictive puzzle game.
Old school Cylons for the win!
Couldn't find any reverse shots but I think it is safe to assume that it goes all around the pumpkin making this absolutely amazing.
After publication of this story I was linked to even more cool ass pumpkin carvings! Check back here for even more awesome carvings!
Not sure if the laser is a photoshopped effect or they used a green laser pen. Either way an excellent job!

• Four preterm infants receiving long-term furosemide therapy were examined for hypercalciuria, hyperparathyroidism, renal calcification, and bone demineralization. All four infants had increased urinary calcium excretion. Three infants had high serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone, and in these three infants, bone mineral content was below the mean of "osteopenic" preterm infants of comparable gestational and postnatal age. In two of these infants, there was ultrasound evidence of renal calcification. In one infant, autopsy disclosed bone changes of hyperparathyroidism, gallstones, and calcification in the heart and kidney.

I've always been impressed with the quality of their content, as well as the beauty of their models and entertainment value of the scenes. Expectations are high going into this review.
Hot exclusive hardcore collection.
Only Blowjob features beautiful European models in hot oral sex scenes. After kissing and stripping, they share their amazing bodies with the cameras and their awesome mouths with their lucky partners' cocks. They lick and suck, in beds and with titty fucks and with glory holes. The end result is a cumshot on their face or their mouth or tits. It's a hot collection with scene after scene of incredible bj action.
High quality pics and vids.
Both the photos and videos look fantastic, in classic DDF style. Images come in three sizes, up to 2600 x 1800. Most of their high definition videos play at a beautiful 4,000k and 1280 x 720. The newer scenes are actually available at 16,000k and 1920 x 1080! These scenes are amazingly gorgeous!
Great-sized collection!
Only Blowjob is a huge site, with over 1,540 scenes online. The site has been online for over 14 years, so they've had plenty of time to build a very impressive collection.
Multiple video viewing options.
There are plenty of choices for viewing the videos and galleries here. The videos can be streamed in your browser using Flash and downloaded as mp4s with multiple quality settings.
The viewing options don't stop with the videos. The photo galleries can be enjoyed in three image sizes and downloaded in a zip file. They've got all the options covered!
Easy to navigate.
The large collection is easy to get around, thanks to some fantastic browse and search tools. You can start off with the chronological list of scenes or browse the models by name. If you've got something more specific in mind, they offer an advanced search tool with dozens of filters for both the girls and the scenes. No matter what you have in mind, you'll find it here and they make it very easy to do so.
Other Good Stuff:
Older scenes aren't as sharp, lack viewing options.
As you go back in the collection, you'll see that the quality is somewhat dated. The videos play in different formats (wmv instead of mp4) and they lack the 1080p HD option. These scenes top out at 320 x 240, a far cry from the new scenes! They still look great, but just keep in mind that the videos do change as you go back in the collection.
Minor Negatives:
Still a high quality, entertaining site with beautiful girls that BJ fans will love.
Only Blowjob continues to impress, with a hot collection of high quality exclusive scenes. At this point, the site is bigger and better than ever. I loved their beautiful girls and HD scenes. With a very reasonable price of $20 a month, this is a great value and wonderful join for blowjob lovers. Only Blowjob is a site I'll continue to enjoy as long as they continue producing hot material like this.

"I've got a hurt leg and I'm older than I used to be," the Battle Creek resident said. "But I'm crawling with Jesus. He gives me strength."
It will take more than a hurt leg, tornado warnings or critics to stop the senior citizen from crawling about 25 miles on his hands and knees from Battle Creek to Albion in protest of Albion Public Schools voting to discontinue teaching high school students.
Facing a $1.1 million deficit, the Albion Public Schools Board of Education voted May 14 to stop teaching students in grades 9-12 and asked Marshall Public Schools to accept the about 150 students.
"I'm rallying support," Holley said. "I'm trying to raise awareness. I want to see the Albion community come together to save that school."
Holley, who declined to give his age, began his trek at Battle Creek Central High School 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 28. Holley said he hopes to arrive at Albion High School by 2 p.m. Thursday, May 30, where he plans to hold a rally.
Albion Superintendent Jerri-Lynn Williams-Harper said she hopes Holley shows up later than expected, after students are sent out for the day.
"Nobody has ever contacted us about a rally on school grounds," she said. "I won't allow anything that could disrupt teaching our students."
Williams-Harper would not comment further on Holley or the rally.
Holley's route took him from Battle Creek Central High School to Main Street to Michigan Avenue east along M-96 to Marshall. From there he'll travel along Michigan Avenue to Albion.
Holley's journey was delayed Tuesday, after it began raining and tornado sirens began to sound around him two hours into his trek.
"I took shelter (at the Citgo by Firekeepers Casino) and then began again this morning," he said. "It was the first long break I took."
Holley, who has no family or historical connection to Albion, said he doesn't plan to sleep during his slog.
"I gotta get there," Holley said. "I ain't got time to sleep.
Holley wears a backpack with first aid equipment, water and some food. The majority of his food and water he gets from strangers on his trip, according to Holley.
"I'll take any help I can get," Holley said. "Sometimes I get tired, and I want to give up, but then I'll get some encouragement from a stranger, and that will get me to go the next five blocks."
Holley has crawled before, against violence and against bullying. A number of people in the area know his name, and motorists were quick to honk in support Wednesday afternoon.
Donning a red jumpsuit and pads made out of old life vests and cushions duct taped to his hands and knees, Holley said he sometimes has detractors throw things at him and shout at him.
"But for every person that throws things at me, there's two that help me out," he said.

Featured Golf News
Game On - New 19th Holes Fuel College Rivalries in North Carolina
It's not as if the fan bases of the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State ever run out of jabs, digs or insults to hurl each other's way. After all, the heart of another season of ACC basketball is about to heat up. Enough said.
Groundbreaking Shovels with Course in Background
The debate over which athletic program is the cream of the crop often spills over into the multi-million-dollar arms race of facilities. Recently, golf has seemingly been a short chip shot away from that discussion over which school has the better college golf course - UNC Finley, designed by Tom Fazio, or the Arnold Palmer layout known as Lonnie Poole Golf Club.
Both are ranked high nationally. But by the end of 2013 the discussion heads to the 19th hole as UNC has already enhanced its clubhouse, while NC State announced this fall it plans to break ground on what, by all accounts, will not only be one of the best college facilities but one of the Triangle's top after-round hangouts, equipped with a grand view of the downtown Raleigh skyline.
"You can arguably describe this as the single most important day in the history of our golf program," NC State athletic director Debbie Yow said in late October as ceremonial shovels stirred dirt on the site of the proposed Carol Johnson Poole Clubhouse. "In our enterprise, people often say facilities are the silent statement of commitment. When recruits come here and they're trying to decide if they're going to Duke or Carolina, Wake (Forest) or State, when they round the bend and see this place the answer will be in front of them in relationship to our commitment as a university and as an athletic program in terms of men's and women's golf."
NC State Clubhouse Rendering
Carol Johnson Poole is the wife of Lonnie Poole, who the course is named after. With their generous donations the couple has single-handedly elevated N.C. State's golf programs by helping with major funding for the world-class Palmer layout, and now the proposed 25,000-square-foot clubhouse, which will also double as classrooms for the turfgrass research and professional golf management schools - two of the university's nationally recognized programs.
"Somebody asked me what I want in a clubhouse and I said, 'I don't know I've never had one,' " said longtime NC State men's coach Richard Sykes. "It's going to be special. It kind of completes the project. I will be out here every day looking at it."
While the Wolfpack has produced some notable professional players such as Vance Heafner, Carl Pettersson and Tim Clark, the program has had to play catch-up with rival ACC schools, at times losing top recruits because of a lack of facilities. Even when Lonnie Poole was opened a few years ago, there was no permanent clubhouse with team locker rooms on-site. The lack of various other amenities left Sykes at a recruiting disadvantage.
"The golf course has matured very nicely, but when people drive into the parking lot we feel like we're one down," said Chip Watson, the general manager at Lonnie Poole and the assistant men's coach. "Once the golfer gets out there on the third or fourth hole they say 'Hey, this is a pretty nice place.' Well, now this piece will finish it, and we'll have that 'wow' factor when golfers drive in."
The second floor of the clubhouse will spill out onto the driving range, while an outside veranda will provide an expansive view of the back nine and downtown Raleigh, making it a destination to relax before and after 18 holes.
"This is a beautiful golf course, but it's not finished until we have a 19th hole, a clubhouse and, in this case, a teaching facility and a place for our teams," Lonnie Poole said. "I love doublewides and there is a time and place for everything, but it took me a long time to get over that 'Cow College' thing and all that surrounds us NC State graduates of an earlier vintage, so we don't need a doublewide; it just doesn't fit in with this neighborhood."
Watson said the clubhouse is 80 percent funded, with additional donation options available on the website www.lonniepoolegolfcourse.com by clicking on the "donate" tab.
UNC Finley Memorabilia Room
(All Photos in this Story by Dave Droschak)
Meanwhile, 30 miles down Interstate 40 and past thousands of loblolly pines in picturesque Chapel Hill, the school's $4-million clubhouse renovation project was completed this fall, with plenty of Carolina Blue paint and cool Tar Heel fixtures adorning the walls of the 9,500-square-foot facility.
One of the highlights is the A.E. Finley Memorabilia Room, which is dedicated to Finley, who was instrumental in funding the original golf course and clubhouse construction. The gallery commemorates the history and involvement of Finley over the years of the Fazio-designed course, from its inception to its current status as one of the best university courses in the nation.
"We wanted Mr. Finley's memorabilia room to be the main entrance that when people walked in there was definitely a 'wow' factor . . . and there is," said UNC Finley director of golf Johnny Cake. "Golfers sort of browse coming in but they read going out."
The former clubhouse was distressed on many levels, according to Cake, requiring numerous repairs that led to the new digs, which have been more than doubled in size.
"It was a situation where we wanted to have this building be (the) equal to all the other great university buildings we have," Cake said. "We have a great golf course, a great maintenance facility and we needed to do something here."
The new clubhouse features a conference room, Wi-Fi and the Naismith Grill, which has outside seating with TVs and a fireplace.
"There is still a 'wow' factor when we walk in for me and the staff," Cake said. "The environment is so much better. We all basically knew it was going to be nice, but I think we're all a little overwhelmed at now nice it really is."
So now when alumni of each school debates which twosome - Davis Love and Mark Wilson vs. Tim Clark and Carl Pettersson - would dust the other in a best-ball match, they'll likely be doing it in 19th-hole style.

Eni Australia
Eni is an integrated energy company, active in around 70 countries, with more than 78,000 employees. Eni operates in oil and natural gas, refining and marketing, power generation, petrochemicals, engineering and construction. As part of its growth strategy for the South East Asian region, eni began acquiring assets in Australia in 2000.
In Australia, eni operates the Woollybutt oil field (65% equity) in the Carnarvon Basin and is developing two new projects: the Blacktip Project (100%), to supply gas for the generation of electricity in Northern Territory and the Kitan Oil Project (40% and Operator) in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA) in the Timor Sea.
The Blacktip Project comprises an unmanned fixed Well Head Platform (WHP), located at the Blacktip gas field, approximately 110 kilometres offshore from Wadeye in the Northern Territory, a subsea pipeline from the WHP to the coast at Yelcherr Beach near Wadeye and an Onshore Gas Plant (OGP) two and a half kilometres inland from the coast.
A Social Impact Assessment was undertaken for the Blacktip Project to identify and assess the social consequences that might arise from the Project, particularly the construction and subsequent operation of the OGP. A resulting Social Impact Management Plan indentified potential social risks and opportunities that might arise and proposed strategies for mitigating adverse impacts and enhancing opportunities.
The primary objective of enis support of AFL NTs activities in Wadeye is mitigation of the risk that the Project causes significant increases in vandalism and theft, leading to rises in negative youth engagement with the police and the justice system.

I first became interested in Massage and Natural Health whilst living in New Zealand and studied with a Naturopath where I qualified in Therapeutic Massage. On returning to this country in 1992, I studied at The Raworth Centre, a college for Sports Therapy and Natural Medicine, where I gained Internationally recognized certificates in Anatomy, Physiology & Massage, Gym Instruction and Diet & Nutrition.
I studied sports massage and in 1993 I continued my training with a well-respected Osteopath and body worker, Mario-Paul Cassar DO, ND, who founded the APNT. I also attended several of Mario's Bodywork Workshops in MET, NMT and Trigger Points and Sports Massage. I then started working at The Sanctuary, in Covent Garden, where several celebrities became regular clients.
I now run a successful private practise in Brighton and have gained a wealth of experience from massaging so many different people, having worked in natural therapy centres and health clinics, festivals, corporate events and also in old people's homes and at The Royal Sussex County Hospital.
I am passionate about the benefits of Massage and all healing therapies. I have an extended knowledge of advanced massage and am keen to pass on the experience and knowledge that I have gained along my journey in the field of Natural Health.
The reason why I wanted to work for Gateway is because I found their courses to be informative, concise, professional yet fun. I think as an existing therapist one doesn't need to do lengthy courses anymore, but study the new principles and have tutors who are passionate and enthusiastic about what they teach. I think it is really important that the courses are all registered or accredited with the FHT, CMA, GHT, GPBT and Embody to maintain a high standard across the board.
I have attended several courses with Gateway and found them invaluable to my Massage practice by offering a wider spectrum of therapies. Also Gateway have informative and self explanitory manuals to refer back to whenever needed.
I found Cathy to be a knowledgeable tutor on her subject. She ensured we all understood the techniques she was showing us. She was very welcoming and friendly. Great course it was just what I was looking for.

Perth is the capital of Western Australia and with about 1.7 million inhabitants also the state's largest city. With it's location on the far western end of the otherwise empty state of Western Australia, it's one of the world's most isolated metropolitan areas. The nearest city of similar size (Adelaide) is more than 2000km / 1200mi away over the endlessly empty Nullarbor Plain. The region of Perth was first sighted by the Dutch in the 17th century, but it were the British that colonized the area in early 19th century. Perth proved to be a strategic location when Western Australia, a state rich in natural resources, attracted many people to the region.

2013 Mac Pro + Final Cut Pro Deliver Insane Performance
How fast is the 2013 Mac Pro? A new review of Apple's shiny black pro desktop puts it this way, "The Mac Pro and FCPX handle 4K like SD, so 8K should be fine."
Of course, as a practical matter, shooting, editing and delivering 4K video is still a fairly daunting set of tasks. However, once 4K becomes mainstream, the 2013 Mac Pro you can today will have more than a enough power to handle 8K, someday.
FCP.co and MacBreak Studio have exhaustively researched and test the 2013 Mac Pro. While Apple's hardware does have hard limits, the guys generally have good things to say about it.
That said, as configured above (image), the 2013 Mac Pro used in FCP.co's testing would cost $6,299 — a very pretty penny. While it's not the best one could buy, the config used certainly represents the state-of-the-art.
And, here are some the things FCP.co (ie Alex Gollner and Peter Wiggins) had to say about the 2013 Mac Pro and FCPX:
• We pushed FCPX and the Mac Pro to silly limits, of course nobody will make a year long or a 500,000 pixel wide timeline, but it's good to know the combination will go that far.
• It seems that the real limitation is a hardware one, yes FCPX will do 16K, but you have to have the storage bandwidth to supply the huge number of pixels per second.
The 1000 Layer Final Cut Pro X Timeline FCPX on Apple's Mac Pro
• Apple have however, built a combination that will be good for nearly all different media sized projects within the foreseeable future. The Mac Pro and FCPX handle 4K like SD, so 8K should be fine [emphasis added].
• Stressing Final Cut on the new Mac Pro tells us that Apple's programmers haven't set most of the application's limits based on the needs of editors. Instead of writing code that assumes editors would never need to (or want to) work with 16k footage, connect hundreds of layers or create year long timelines, developers have in effect said "Hey, as long as you can find hardware fast enough… Go for it!"
Apple's 2013 Mac Pro + FCPX can easily handle 4K video and 8K seems very much in the realm of possibility. And, tellingly, while today's Mac Pro can't do 16K, FCPX apparently can and, if you can find the hardware, you can you.
Sometimes Apple is just so out and out cool…
What's your take?

WHEN LAST WE SAW CLAUDIA LAMB, she was bratty little Heather, a sort of Bart Simpson prototype in pigtails on the satirical soap Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (1975-77). Five nights a week, Heather went mouth-to-mouth with her hyperspace-cadet TV mom, Mary Hartman. "It was a blast," says Lamb. "If I'd said those things at home, I'd still be looking for my teeth."
Fourteen years later, Lamb—now 28 and minus the pigtails—still has a smart mouth, but these days the lines are all her own. As the morning drive-time talk host on KCMO-AM in Kansas City, Mo., she sounds off daily between 6 and 9 A.M. on any topic likely to get the show's 11 phone lines ringing. The Barbara and Hillary roast? "Since when did running for President become a quadruple ticket?" Insurers who won't pay for nicotine patches? "But they will pay for thousands of dollars worth of surgery."
After Hartman ended, Lamb—an L.A. native and the youngest of six—continued acting in TV ads and attending school. But in 1984 she ditched college, three credits shy of a theater-arts degree, and headed for Denver, where she taught children's theater and tried stand-up comedy, which led to her first radio job in 1989. "Radio's like performing without a net," she says. "If you mess up, everybody hears."
Now married to Scott Augusto, a computer designer, and the mother of son Eliot, 4, Lamb has only fond memories of her Hartman years. "They were like a family to me," she says of her castmates.
As for former child stars who've landed in rehab or jail, Lamb has little sympathy. "They are using the very best thing that ever happened to them as an excuse for why life isn't being fair," she says. "We all make our own choices. Take responsibility for them."

In the following video, Motley Fool tech and telecom analyst Andrew Tonner takes a question from a Fool reader, who asks, "Do you see Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) success in the mobile industry, or are they too late? Do you think this success can finally move their stock price or will it continue to gravitate around this level despite $40B buyback plan and an attractive dividend yield?"
It's been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who've watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade. However, with the release of its own tablet, along with the widely anticipated Windows 8 operating system, the company is looking to make a splash in this booming market. In this brand-new premium report on Microsoft, our analyst explains that while the opportunity is huge, the challenges are many. He's also providing regular updates as key events occur, so make sure to claim a copy of this report now by clicking here.

This Centurion was Marcus Aelius, who had been abducted by a spaceship from ancient Rome circa 100 A.D., and spent centuries with the aliens. Using the alien technology and the spaceship called the Pax Romana, Alpha Centurion started a career as a superhero. He joined the LexCorp Legion of Metropolis and became the leader of LexCorp's security team called the Centurions. He worked together with Superman and even organised a rescue squad to save Superman from the Galactic Tribunal and the Cyborg (II). Later, Alpha Centurion was publicly embarrassed as a hero by Lex Luthor and left Metropolis. He has kept a low profile since then and his current whereabouts are unknown.
