Friends with Benefits - MaverickMen
Models: Cole, Hunter and Tommy
Studio: Maverick Men
This special video has been a long time cumming, almost four years to be exact. We have been friends with our boy Tommy for a while now and we've noticed that anyone that meets Tommy immediately falls in love with his hot tats, big sexy eyes, and hilarious sense of humor. If all that doesn't win you over, his big fat cock surely will. WOOF! We shot a stroke video of Tommy last year and it was super hot but we haven't posted it yet as we've been waiting for that ass, lol. Tommy has finally gave us a big hairy piece of his delicious beefy ass. Once we finally got in his very tight hole, it was all moaning and sweating and cumming. He's a great kisser with hot oral skills. That boy can suck a mean dick, for sure. You'll absolutely love the fuck scenes in this nasty gem of a video. I have to stress that Tommy LOVES to top but now for some reason he also really enjoys bottoming. You're welcome Tommy, and thank you.

text: Ran across a niftly little thing called the Zip. Little .22 pistol that takes 10/22 magazines, but anyway they show it attached to the bottom rail on a scar(would put it on a shotgun myself) and was wondering if the Zip is registered as an SBR does it matter if its attached to a non NFA host? IE full sized shotgun/rifle? Thanks

Being a high risk patient isn't easy for the patient or the doctor however Dr. Garner took on the challenge of keeping me pregnant. I had several issues and previously lost twins. Now he is a quick Dr., but he got the job done and he delivered our bouncy baby girl that I had dreamed about ever since I was a little girl. So if we go through this again he will be the man to get the job done!
I was never informed of my abnormal pap results, I want a doctor who cares about his patients healthcare. Since then I have talked to several people who have commented he is all about quanity not quality. His m.a. (Britney) was very unfriendly & disorganized.
Dr. garner is my favorite doctor in the world. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, patient. He is the perfect doctor. I was/am lucky to be his patient.
I have been a patient of Dr. Garner for 3yrs now. He helped take care of me and deliver my 4rth and 5th child. My previous Dr did not care for me since he had a pre-misconception that I did not need same level of care as a 1st time mom. Dr. Garner was wonderful he has never changed with me and he trully cares about his patients and family. I sole heartedly recommend him to anyone.
I have been very pleased with Dr. Garner and will recommend him to everyone I know. He is simply the best. He has a good sense of humor. He takes time to listen and answer all your questions and has perfect bed side manners. I will surely use him again if I am to get pregnant again.
Dr. Garner is amazing. I love going to his office. He makes every appointment worth it and makes sure you dont have any questions. Even the serious times are easy to deal with.
Great Doctor. Very kind-makes you feel very at ease! He has such a great sense of humor and makes you laugh!! He took the time to sit down with me and an answered all my questions. Highly recommend this doctor.
Love Dr Garrett

Take a tour around Kazimierz, the city's Jewish district, to see the remnants of the ghetto, and the monuments which commemorate the events of the 1940s. You can also visit Oskar Schindler's factory, and see where 'Schindler's List' was filmed. A short bus ride away is the Auschwitz Memorial Museum.
You can't miss Cloth Hall in the centre of the Main Rynek Market Square too. Check out the beautiful design of the building and browse the souvenir stalls inside. Take a break and treat yourself to coffee and paczek (a Polish doughnut). There's also a Polish art gallery upstairs.
Kraków may not be a coastal city, but with high temperatures throughout the summer and the many outdoor swimming pools dotted around, it can certainly feel like one! The city also boasts a romantic tendency: the Bernatek footbridge in Kazimierz remains a popular spot for couples to fasten a padlock, commemorating their love.
Kraków's jazz scene could rival that of New Orleans, with a club on every corner in the Old Town. After a long day of exploring the bustling market square, head to one of the outdoor restaurants where many bands play every night. For something a bit more classical, the Kraków Philharmonic Concert Hall is a primary location for many of Poland's top performers.
Only a few kilometres from the city this has to be on you're to do list! The Wieliczka Salt Mine is on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites and the salt mine is in pristine condition. Take the lift 135m down and be guided through tunnels and chambers and be left astounded by the workmanship in the Chapel of St. Kinga.
The Main Square, Rynek Glowny, gets a festive make-over as Christmas draws near. The awesome architecture is awash with twinkling lights and tumbles into an expansive setting for stalls. You'll find the usual Polish market goods, as well as thick slabs of gingerbread, wooden toys and traditional decorations. Feel festive across town and even step into the wintery-looking wonders of Wieliczka Mine.
Krakow's Old Town bars are housed in ancient cellars that add to the atmosphere. Be sure to try sliwowica, a heady plum brandy, while Polish vodka is lauded worldwide. Beetroot soup offers a warming flavour too. Along the scenic Royal Route to Wawel Castle, you'll find the oldest restaurant in the world and a Kraków institution, Wierzynek 1364 – a foodie must-see. Kazimierz is home to a bohemian scene of cafés, bars and art galleries, making it a cool place for a night on the tiles. .
Krakow Old Town is an enticing site to explore on foot, especially as the great majority of its streets have been entirely pedestrianised. The city is also served by bus and tram networks and a bike hire scheme.
A relic of the communist era, Polish Milk bars are a glimpse into what life was like behind the iron curtain. Opened by the Communist party to provide cheap dairy based meals to the masses a few have survived to this day and will serve you a hearty, cafeteria style meal that will transport you back to the 1950's. Michelin star it isn't but it is a cultural experience not to be missed and all at a bargain price.
This medieval market square is the largest in Europe and is the hub of the city. Take in the grand architecture, stroll along the shops or visit one of the many cafes, pubs or restaurants on offer.
Not to be missed, the gothic castle is one of the most important historical and cultural sights in Poland. Visit the castle itself as well as the cathedral or take a stroll around the gardens and courtyards.
The Jewish quarter is a delight to wander round with its labyrinthine streets and low-standing houses. Don't miss the Corpus Christi Church, the Temple Synagogue and Ulica Szeroka.
One of the most prominent landmarks of the city, this 70m tall tower stands in the central grand square. Climb the 100 steps to enjoy panoramic views of the city.
The cream-coloured Cloth Hall buzzes with life, filled with flower stalls, espresso cafés and traditional handicrafts. Alternatively, Royal Road bisects the Old Town with an array of art and antique shops.

Exclusive! 'Looking' Star Russell Tovey On Sex Scenes, His Famous Butt & That Rimming Cake
'I Imagine Myself Looking Back and Going, 'God, I Had a Nice Ass.''
By Chris Azzopardi
Originally printed 12/16/2014 (Issue 2250 - Between The Lines News)
Despite roles in the BBC supernatural drama "Being Human" and "The History Boys," both on stage and screen, it's the HBO dramedy "Looking" that has presented Russell Tovey with considerable exposure. Premiering in early 2014, the show centers on a group of gay friends in San Francisco as they navigate relationships, family and sleeping with your boss. When Kevin (Tovey) and Patrick (Jonathan Groff) finally got down to business during a steamy lay at the end of the first season, the hunky Londoner revealed more than his acting chops.
As "Looking" returns to the network on Jan. 11, 2015, the 33-year-old opened up on a variety of topics: his mom's reaction to his thigh thump with Groff, the advantages to shooting a sex scene with a gay actor and how, despite his famous butt, fans of the show who meet him aren't "rape-y."
The Season 1 finale set the stage for a whole lot of drama. What does that mean for this upcoming season?
Season 2's gonna pick up three months on with the fallout from that experience with Patrick, Kevin and Richie (Patrick's boyfriend played by Raul Castillo). They go away on a big adventure and it all unravels. What it means is there's gonna be tension, and what unfolds is going to be very good television. And I love it. I love seeing #TeamKevin / #TeamRichie. People are really loyal to Kevin or Richie. They're like, "Sorry - I really like you, Russell, but I'm #TeamRichie." "Kevin's a cheat!" "Leave Patrick alone!"
What's your hope for Kevin and this love triangle he's gotten himself into?
I want Kevin to be happy, but I want him to find his way to happiness with a lot of drama that's gonna be entertaining for an audience watching an HBO show. (Laughs) But he has to fuck things up, and I think that's part of his personality. The more Patrick gets to know him, that's gonna unravel.
Soooo: Team Kevin or Team Richie?
Hmm... would I fuck myself? Or would I fuck Raul? (Laughs) If I could have a threeway, it'd be quite nice. You know, a bit of both. But in reality, you'd want a boyfriend like Richie because he could cut your hair, and that's great - you don't have to worry about that expenditure every month. He'd do that for free! And he can play guitar, so he can entertain you.
Or, of course, there's Kevin, who appears to be - at least from the Season 1 finale - experienced in bed.
Oh yeah, he's very good. A lot of me went into that. (Laughs)
I hear you're a method actor...
Totally. I've done all the research.
Unless it's gay porn, it's rare in TV and film that actors who have sex scenes are both gay. For instance, Raul is straight and has onscreen sex with Jonathan. How does the dynamic of a sex scene change knowing both you and Jonathan are gay?
It makes it so much more relaxed. I've had sex scenes with girls, and I feel very relaxed because I'm not worried about anything popping up - I'm just worried about her world and making sure she's comfortable. When I've done stuff with Joe Williamson (Tovey's boyfriend on "Looking") - and we're hugging and kissing and whatever, and he goes for it - I feel a slight responsibility to make sure that he doesn't feel I'm taking advantage of the fact that this has been written. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable, so I feel a responsibility to him in a different way than I do to girls.
With Jonathan, doing these sex scenes just feels so cool. We're such good mates now, and we laugh and we love doing our scenes together. You can do anything; your hands go everywhere, and it's fine. Neither of us at any point feels uncomfortable, and that's why it's so good. We just completely trust each other, and we go for it. Neither of us hold back or feel any pang of responsibility for the other one when it comes to that. We just trust each other on a completely open level. Either of us could go to the other, "Hey, you should put your dick in there." (Laughs)
Are you saying that you and Jonathan basically direct your own sex scenes on the show?
(Laughs) No, no, I'm not! (Writer-director) Andrew Haigh is very much involved. (Creator) Michael Lannan is very much involved. When we have sex scenes we have (those guys) there onboard the whole time to make sure it's all good. But yeah, I think Jonathan and I are, again, method; we know what we're doing. (Laughs)
Will you have more sex scenes with Jonathan in Season 2?
God - is it a spoiler if I say yes?
How do you feel about all the attention your ass has gotten on social media?
In the future, I imagine myself looking back and going, "God, I had a nice ass. Glad I got that out." If it's there now, I'm getting it out because it's not always gonna look like that. I don't want to hide it. And it's nice that people like it. I've been very lucky. I've grown it myself, and I also have my parents to thank for it being well-received.
What kind of influence do you see this show having?
It's such a true voice for gay people. Everyone all around the world is able to see their own friends in all these characters. In the gay community, everyone wants stories. Every show (like "Looking") that comes out is another kind of stamp in the world to say, "This is happening. This is here." This is another show that proves how normal this is. This show is where we are now - in a place where it feels we've moved on so far that we're able to make a show like this. Here we are - not bad people who are having coming out problems, where not everyone is dying of AIDS. This is, right now, what it's like to be a gay man who can get married and adopt. Suddenly, you can sign up to the heterosexual blueprint.
Growing you, did you have a "true voice" in entertainment?
So what finally inspired you to come out?
I had really close family friends. Myself and one of my best mates now - our dads went to school together - came out to each other when we were like 14, 15. He was very out and proud, and he was going out to all the gay clubs when I was a kid. I was so scared to do it, but I went out with him. Going out with him I realized there are other people like me out there, and I was like, "Cool, this is all right."
But there wasn't anybody in the public eye that made me go, "Oh, thank you." There were no Tom Daleys, no big coming out stories inspiring me to come out. I do remember seeing the film "Beautiful Thing" as a kid and my mom coming up the stairs to go to bed and me turning it off and going "Night!" I waited till she went to bed to put it back on, and I remember being awe-struck at this film, and crying and being like, "Oh my god, that's me." "Beautiful Thing" was actually a huge part of my coming out experience.
How often are you recognized while filming "Looking" in San Francisco?
Oh, every day. Where I was living in the Castro, I would get into a routine of having breakfast, lunch or coffee, going to the gym, buying a newspaper, and there's such community there. Where I live in London, it's like a community where it's "Morning, Russell!" and seeing people is just a part of your routine. That's completely what's so wonderful about San Francisco. And everyone is very respectful. I don't ever feel under threat or in a rape-y situation. It feels like they are thrilled that we're there, and we are thrilled to be there. It's a mutual love for the city and us, which is nice.
You had a birthday recently. Whose idea was it to make you a cake that said, "Birthdays are like rim jobs ... open up and get ready for another great year!"?
(Laughs) Someone in production. Ahh, as the season goes on you'll see where that comes from.
Oh, so the rimming cake plays a part in the show?
It might if it stays in! But (the cake) was very nice. We were on a night shoot during our lunch and that cake turned up and I was over the moon. My mom and dad were like, "Oh, I love the cake. Not sure about the rim job. Yeah, not sure of the words - but the cake looks lovely!"
But they love it. I took my mom to Folsom Street Fair when I was filming. We hung out with drag queens, transgenders and people with HIV. I gave her the full education. She absolutely loved it! She's fascinated by it all, and she was asking people why they had silicone in their testicles and piercings in certain areas of their bodies. She's awesome.
She watched Season 1 as well. I said to her not to watch the last episode. She said, "All right," but then she did and said, "I saw your little bum going up and down."
Was it required of you to show off your assets during auditions?
No, no. I was actually originally up for Patrick - Jonathan's part - and I didn't get it. They were like, if (the show) gets picked up, we wanna write you a part. I was like, "Cool, but I'm not holding my breath," because you hear that a lot. Then they wanted me to go out for this part of Kevin, and I was like, "OK." I did the (audition) in American - I wanted to make it American - but at the end, as I was leaving the room, I did it in English because I knew they'd ask for it in English. They came back and said, "We loved the English! The Brit, the Brit!" So yeah, I didn't have to show my genitals; it was merely my acting talent.

Snow Dough Recipe for Play
Snow Dough Recipe for PLAY
- Corn starch (Freeze overnight to make the snow dough extra cold)
- Lotion (Refrigerate overnight to make the snow dough extra cold )
- Optional additions- glitter and peppermint extract
Add the desired amount of corn starch to a bowl. We used one 16 oz box and that gave us more than enough snow dough. We also froze our corn starch overnight to make our snow dough extra cold. Mix in a few drops of peppermint extract if scent is desired. Then slowly add lotion until the desired consistency is reached. We used roughly 1/2 of a 20 oz bottle of unscented body lotion purchased from Dollar Tree. You can play with the consistency and add more or less lotion. More lotion will give you a more oozey dough and less will give you a more powdery dough. Both are mold-able and super fun to play with!
Don't forget to give kids embellishments to make snowmen
This dough seriously feels amazing! It is SO SOFT and leaves hands feeling silky smooth after play. Rosie and Jewel loved squishing, building, stacking, and molding
When play time is over simply store the dough in a zip seal bag or air tight container for future play. Store it in the refrigerator to keep it extra cold between play times if desired. If it dries out at all just add a touch of lotion to return the snow dough to the desired consistency.

Salmon aquaculture may be banned in California waters, but it is not banned in federal waters just 3 miles off the coast. This may be a 'non-issue' today, but offshore net pen aquaculture is currently being considered in the Gulf of Mexico and Hawaii. This issue may come up in the EEZ off the coast of California far sooner than you, or the public, may believe.

The Mongols: From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane
From Genghis Khan to TamerlaneIn the space of 200 hundred years, the Mongols built the greatest empire that the world had ever known and then lost it again. At its greatest extent, the lands they held dwarfed those under the control of Rome at its prime whilst the conquests of its founder, Genghis Khan, outshone those of even Alexander the Great. There were few parts of the known world that were not touched by the Mongols in

Islam's War Against the CrusadersThe Crusades continue to exert a fascination as a story of perceived gallantry and battles against impossible odds. Yet what is less often considered is their effect on the Holy Land, and in particular the response of the Muslim world to the invasions of west European Crusaders. By a previously divided Islamic world, they gave an unstoppable impetus towards the declaring of jihad against the West,

Downfall of the Crusader Kingdom
The Battle of Hattin and the Loss of JerusalemThe Third Crusade of Richard the Lionheart is well known but the build-up to it less so. Downfall of the Crusader Kingdom is a story of intrigue, plot and counter-plot, and the abuse of power culminating in the most decisive battle of the medieval epoch, the Battle of Hattin in 1187. Hattin is one of the few battles in history that can truly be called decisive, and it was a catastrophe for the
Zulu: Queen Victoria's Most Famous Little WarThe Zulu War grabs attention in a way that no other of Queen Victoria's "Little Wars" does. It is a story rich in the extremes of human experience: gallantry, cowardice, savagery, hubris, and sheer, stark terror amongst others. The way the campaign unfolded was a consequence of the actions of Britain's commander in the field, Lord Chelmsford, who thought that the outcome would be a foregone
The Story of Medieval Islam's Secret SectThe so-called "Assassins"—men who had no fear of death and were trained to kill—are one of the most spectacular legends of medieval history.

Prudential has strategies to reduce Long Term Disability claim payments
The Prudential Insurance Company of America (PRU), one of the world's largest long term disability insurance companies, recently issued a press release regarding their return to work strategies. In my opinion, when Prudential or any long term disability insurance company discuss "return to work strategy", this is tantamount to saying how quick can we stop paying a long term disability income claim. It's no secret that Prudential can make a lot more money if less people are paid long term disability. No employer wants to see their employee miss work due to a disabling condition, but it is is scary when a long term disability company thinks they are qualified to make decisions about when a disabled person can return to work. Unfortunately, many long term disability insurance companies rely on computer programs to tell them how long a person should be out of work based upon a specific medical condition. Prudential and many other long term disability insurance carriers attended a national conference to discuss "effective return to work strategies".
For more information about the meeting check out dmec.org.
Prudential's August 26, 2010 Press Release states as follows:
NEWARK, N.J., Aug 26, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Kimberly Mashburn, vice president of Strategic Partnerships for Prudential's Group Insurance business, a unit of Prudential discussed the critical role of managers and effective return to work strategies at the annual Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC) conference, August 1- 4, 2010 in San Diego, Calif.
Workplace absence can be very expensive. Costs and consequences of absence can include direct costs like disability premiums, benefits paid to disabled employees, continuing employee benefits, and wages to replacement workers. Also, indirect costs like reduced productivity, increased overtime, increased supervisory time, increased stress & pressure, recruitment and training of replacement workers, increased medical costs, and administrative cost all add up. While many disability absences are out of a manager's control, some may not be.
"Some disability absences are driven by subjective feelings about work, so managers should make sure they are building an environment that breeds commitment," said Mashburn. During her August 1 workshop, she provided the following actionable steps that managers can take to enhance prompt return to work and boost productivity:
- Create a positive work environment that employees want to come back to;
- Prepare for planned absences by discussing how to cover the work with the employee going on leave;
- Keep personal and professional connections when employees are out of work;
- Plan for the return to work using all the options available at your company; and
- Monitor the return to work to help ensure additional absence is mitigated.
"New laws, escalating costs, fewer employees, and health and productivity issues are the challenges of the post-recession economy," said Joe Wozniak, Certified Professional in Disability Management and Chief Financial Officer of DMEC. "This year's conference allowed attendees to learn best practices and proven solutions that help employers return workers to productive employment from peers and thought leaders like Prudential."

Today the line stretched down the block, and the bakery ferried out ices (at $3 a pop) to keep the sweating crowd happy.
The people were already lined up down the block when Carlo's City Hall Bake Shop opened at 7 a.m., said Dominique Castano in between taking ices orders.
Sam Charnizon, 12, and his brother Toby, 10, of Scarsdale came to the bakery as a treat before Sam goes of to summer camp tomorrow.
"I love the show and I always wanted to come," he said.
Alexandra, 12, and Sarah, 9, Warren came from Manasquan as a birthday treat for Alexandra.
"I love cake, and I love the show. Those are my two favorite things," she said. "I like to see all the interesting cakes that are ordered and how they turn out."
Alexandra likes the show so much that she tried to emulate the Cake Boss' Candyland cake for Sarah's birthday in March.
Speaking of Birthdays did you notice that this banner got put up in conjunction with Carlo's 100 anniversary last week?
What will be next? Will Hoboken soon be renamed "TLC Caketown"?

With the departure of Mets' GM Omar Minaya, the Wilpons are on the hunt for a replacement. Whoever they choose will have a large and difficult task ahead of him. They must deal with a team coming off another disappointing year in which they finished under .500, fourth in the division, a disillusioned fanbase tired of high ticket prices and an overall lack of leadership and direction.
The Mets just don't get it. It really wasn't that long ago when they were one win away from a World Series appearance. Does anyone remember Omar Minaya on the cover of Sports Illustrated accompanied by (brace yourselves) Livan Hernandez, WIllie Randolph, John Maine, Endy Chavez and...OLIVER PEREZ!?!? Does anyone know what all of those people have in common? That's right, they either aren't around anymore or should be tossed out on their ass.
That was only four years ago, yet it feels like another lifetime for Mets fans. In desperate need of a complete team overhaul, the Mets have begun meetings with potential general managers. Here is a list of the candidates:

(May 30, 2013) Clinging to a small buoy in Polpis Harbor in the darkness Sunday night, Justin Bell was freezing and tired after nearly two hours in the cold water. A fishing excursion had turned into a nightmare, and Bell's thoughts turned to his 11-yearold son, and how his ex-wife would have to explain to him how his father died in a freak accident. Then Bell felt something bump him in the water. He looked up and saw a yellow surfboard and a familiar face.
It was firefighter John Allen, and Bell knew he was going to survive.

Arlington, Lakewood, Tulalip strap helmets on for season
Lakewood's football team listens to instructions before the start of practice.
Arlington wants to get back on a winning track, Lakewood wants to get back into the state playoffs, and Tulalip is happy with its numbers as the high school football season gets under way.
Arlington football coach Greg Dailer has one goal — win the Wesco 3A North.
Last season, Arlington competed at the 4A level, finishing with a 5-5 season, but Dailer said the Wesco 3A will be just as tough. "The competition is good if not more difficult," Dailer said.
Marysville-Pilchuck, Oak Harbor and Marysville Getchell are just some of the schools the Eagles will have to compete against.
"Oak Harbor is not too far removed becoming state champions," Dailer said. "And Getchell is up-and-coming."
Letting go of standout receiver Max Gray and a senior-heavy defensive line, Arlington will be filling those holes this season. Two players to watch will be junior Noah Andal, who will play receiver and quarterback, and senior running back Alex Hayward.
Arlington will be playing on turf, which replaces the old grass field. "We're not the biggest team so that muddy field was not advantageous for us," Dailer said.
Though playing on the beat up and slippery grass was problematic last season, Dailer said it had no impact on the teams performance.
"We could've won some of those home games," Dailer said. "We just didn't execute real well at times, but it wasn't a bad year."
The Eagles will resume running a spread option in the gun on offense, and a 3-4 defense, Dailer said.
The Lakewood Cougars are looking to defend their league title and make a run in the 2A state tournament. After finishing a perfect regular season last year, Lakewood fell short in the state tournament losing a first round game to Sehome 35-13. The Cougars overall record was 9-1.
"We are fortunate to have a wonderfully supportive community to play in front of that brings great energy to our home games, and travels well to away games," Lakewood head coach Dan Teeter said. Lakewood looks to go a little further this season with the returning senior talent: Blake Watts at strong safety, Paulmer Gregory at running back, Brett Bustad at wide receiver and defensive back and Alec Burbee on offensive and defensive line.
The Cougars will also implement some key starters with junior running back and linebacker Tyler Courtney, senior offensive and defensive lineman Andrew Schafer, senior wide receiver and defensive back Drake Chaves and junior wide receiver and defensive back Josh Dickey.
Teeter said the defense will stay a 3-4 scheme and the offense will remain a multiple spread. He said King's, Archbishop Murphy and Cedarcrest will "be the top competition" this year.
Tulalip Heritage has nine returning lettermen, including all-league running back and linebacker Robert Miles Jr.
"We expect to throw a lot more this season," Coach Jim Kavaney said, citing quarterback Aryk Miranda and receivers Dontae Jones and Trevor Fryberg, as well as fullback Willy Enick and linemen Bobby Jeter, Nate Williams, Anthony McLean and Domingo Rabang.
"Aryk has the ability to be as good a quarterback as any," Kavaney said.
Transfer senior Jessie Louie will play fullback and linebacker.
Two other newcomers are Tim Hill, a freshman whom Kavaney credited with doing well at camp, and sophomore Braxton Lake.
Since this is only Tulalip Heritage's fourth year of league play, it's the first year they've been able to benefit from fully seasoned players.
The only problem is that a number of our players won't be eligible for the initial games of the season, for academic and other reasons.
"Bobby hurt his foot, so he won't be able to play for our first three games," Kavaney said.

Athlete of the year: Jumping is something that has always been in the Njoku family blood.
Faith Njoku won a sectional title in the high jump for Cedar Grove as senior in 2010. Her sister, Gladys, also captured a sectional championship in the high jump when she was a senior in 2012, and Happiness Njoku's starred in the high jump for Cedar Grove last year, winning the high jump at the Super Essex Conference Championships as a senior.
So it only seemed natural for David Njoku to follow in the footsteps of his three sisters and also be a star over the bar at Cedar Grove.
"I always had the ability to jump high,'' said the 6-4, 230-pound Njoku, who will attend the University of Miami on a football scholarship this fall. "In eighth grade I was 5-11 when I dunked a basketball. And when I got to high school all my sisters told me I had to high jump. I said okay and things have worked out pretty well.''
They sure did as Njoku was the state's best high jumper for the last two years.
After winning the Meet of Champions as a junior last year, Njoku took his game to new heights this past spring, soaring a personal best and meet record 7-1 to win the Group 1 title, clearing 7-0 to repeat as winner at the M of C, and then capping off his remarkable career by making 6-11 to finish first at the New Balance National Championships in Greensboro, N.C.
Njoku's 7-1 is tied for No. 6 in state history and he became the ninth boy in state history to win two straight M of C titles in the high jump.
"I really felt like I could have gone higher this year, but to win the Meet of Champions for the second straight year and become a national champion are great accomplishments,'' said Njoku, who said he hopes to continue high jumping in college. "It was a great season. I am very proud of what I was able to do.''
Team of the year:West Orange, under coach Joe Picataggio, completed the county triple crown by winning the Essex County Relays title, the American Division of the Super Essex Conference, and the Essex County Track and Field title. West Orange also placed second to Ridgewood at the North Jersey, Section, 1 Group 4 meet.
Coach of the year: Anthony Emering led West Essex to a great campaign this past spring.
Under Emering, West Essex won its second straight title at the Super Essex Conference Championships, and placed sixth at the North Jersey, Section 2 Group 2 meet,
On the rise:Montclair, under coach Daryl Washington, and Shabazz, under coach Damon Harrison, had its best seasons in recent years.
Montclair won the Liberty Division at the Super Essex Conference Championships, 158-134 over Bloomfield, placed sixth at the Essex County Championships, sixth at the North Jersey, Section 1 Group 4 meet, and was also sixth at the state Group 4 meet.
Then at the Meet of Champions, the quartet of juniors Elijah Robinson, Isaiah Waters, and Andre Blevins and senior Donovan McDonald combined to bring Montclair across the line second in the 4x400 in 3:17.26.
Meanwhile, Shabazz, led by star sprinter Michael Reed, won the Independence Division at the Super Essex Conference Championships, 165-84.66 over defending champion Weequahic, and also captured the and Newark City Championship. Shabazz also won the 4x100 and 4x400 at the state Group 1 Championships.
Tbe Cincinatti-bound Reed, who ran personal bests of 10.91 in the 100, 22.9 in the 200, and 49.74, won the 100, 200, and 400 at the conference and city meets, won the 100 and 200 at the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 1 meet, and
MVP of the year: There weren't very many athletes as important to the success of their team in the state this past season as the versatile Barden Adams was to West Orange.
One of the best all-around jumpers in the state (high jump/long jump/triple jump), the Kansas-bound Adams always rose to the occasion when his team needed him the most.
At the Essex County Championships at Woodman Field in Montclair, Adams won the triple jump with a 47-2, one inch off the meet record, finished first in the long jump (21-9 3/4), second in the high jump (6-6) and fourth in the 110-meter hurdles (15.13) to score 32 points and lead West Orange to its first team title since 2010.
Adams won the high jump, triple jump and 110 hurdles and was second in the long jump at the North Jersey, Section 1, Group 4 meet, and then capped his season by smashing the Essex County record in the triple jump with a 48-3 to place second at the Meet of Champions.
Newcomer of the year: Montclair senior Donovan McDonald, who attended Stroudsburg High School in Pennsylvania prior to this year, won the 200 (2.48) and 400 (49.00) at the Essex County Championships, won the 200 at the North Jersey, Section 1, Group 4 meet (22.47), placed fourth at the Meet of Champions in the 400 with a personal best of 48.18. He also ran a personal best 22.22 to win the 200 at the Super Essex Conference Championships, and ran on Montclair's 4x400 that finished second at the Meet of Champions in 3:17.26.
Breakout athlete of the year: Every year there are track and field athletes that seemingly come out of nowhere and have a breakout season.
Chris Sweeney of Verona certainly qualifies as one of the those athletes as the senior turned in a magical season that ended with a remarkable stretch of personal bests and school record performances during the championship season.
After winning the 400-meter intermediate hurdles at both the Super Essex Conference and Essex County Championships, Sweeney won the 400 hurdles in 55.21, the 400 in 50.65, and the 110 hurdles in 15.42.
Then at the state Group 1 Championships, Sweeney won the 110 hurdles in a personal best and school record of 14.79. and captured the 400 hurdles in 55.59, and he capped his season by placing sixth in the 400 hurdles at the Meet of Champions 54.53 and running a personal best 50.50 in the 400.
Sweeney said the faster times and rapid improvement he displayed this season was all about work ethic.
"I had a really good winter season that set me up for this spring,'' Sweeney said. "And once I started to think about collegiate level track, I started to raise my standards and actually force myself to mentally and physically to get better.
Freshman of the year:Matt Grossman seems poised to continue Millburn's great legacy of distance running stars.
Grossman ran a personal best of 9:29.03 in the 3,200 when he placed third at the state Group 3 meet and ran a personal best 4:29.99 in the 1,600 when he finished fifth at the Super Essex Conference meet.
Shuttling into history: The East Orange Campus shuttle hurdles team took down the school record when it finished first at the East Coast Relays in Randolph with a time of 59.89, the third fastest time in the state for the season. The splits for East Orange were 15.4 for Tyraig Beals, 15.1 for Damion Thomas, 14.7 for Cory Poole, and 14.7 for Haji Davis.
East Orange followed that up by running 59.96 in the shuttles to place fifth at the New Balance Nationals.
Throwers of the year: Chandler Balter of Livingston and Joshua Nijman of Columbia had greats seasons in the throws this past season.
Balter won the javelin at the Essex County Championships, the Super Essex Conference, and the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 meet and state Group 4 Championships. He threw his season best of 198-1 1/4 when he placed fifth at the Penn Relays, and launched a 195-8 to place seventh at the New Balance Nationals. Baltler also threw a personal best 56-5 ¾ to win the shot put at the Super Essex Conference Championships.
Nijman, a senior, won the shot put and discus at the Essex County Championships and at the North Jersey, Section 2 Group 4 meet. Nijman unloaded a pesonal best 60-7 in the shot put, the third best throw in the state for the season, to win the state Group 4 title, and placed fifth at the Meet of Champions in the shot with a 58-9 ¼.

Watch Rugrats
Rugrats is a cartoon show which aired on Nickelodeon back in August of 1991 up until its original run which lasted until June 2004. Rugrats is a wonderful show that takes you into the lives of several young toddlers who have just been born who experience different day to day experiences. The show takes you into what they do every single day and what it is that they think the adults in their family do. It is mostly common for them to misinterpret what the adults in their family seem to say.
The show Rugrats has a few main characters that always have big parts in each episode. They are Tommy, Phil and Lil, Dil, Chuckie, Angelica, Susie, and Kimi. These are the characters of the show, and they take you on a wide range of daily activities that they, in their minds, believe is an adventure. This could be simply walking up the stairs or staying in a closet; they always look at things to be so different compared to what adults see and experience.
Tommy Pickles is the toddler who is the main star of the show. He is usually the person who usually knows what is always going on with his life. He is oftentimes considered the leader of the group because of his ability to think when needed. He has a cute younger brother named Dil who is always there being the baby of his family. Tommy's sidekick Chuckie always seems to be the slightly slow one of the group since he believes everything.
Phil and Lil are the twins who always wear the same clothes and are also a bit slow at times. Angelica is Tommy's older cousin, also known as the bad girl or the mean one in the family. Kimi is Chuckie's cousin who is later on introduced to the show while Susie is Angelica's friend that is more kindhearted than Angelica.
Rugrats is a show that all children need to watch. The premise and the concept of the show takes children on exciting adventures and different life experiences. Having earned big awards, this show is a must to watch for your kids.

Cocoa Bean Roasting
Now that I can actually take cocoa beans all the way to chocolate (with the discovery of the Santha Wet Grinder), I have started revisiting each stage and step in the chocolate making process. Sort of re-evaluating what I have learned, believed and talked about. In doing that I have started to examine how I roast cocoa beans. I have always noticed that the temperatures and times I suggest are hotter and often longer than those given by the "professionals" and I have wondered about that. One "range" that has consistently stuck in my head is from Frederick Schilling of Dagoba Chocolate. He roasts his beans 15-20 minutes at 220-250 F. When I do that, I have virtually raw beans. I have come to believe it is a matter of roaster heat capacity. When he (they) roast, the beans are agitated, they come up to temperature very quickly and hence, start roasting right away. When I tried this at home, I put the cocoa beans into a 250 F oven and it is almost 20 minutes before the beans even reach 200 F. No wonder they are under-roasted.
To try and emulate some of the delicate roasts I have seen out there, I decided to crack and winnow the cocoa beans before roasting and roast the nibs. The thought was that there would be more surface area, and each piece was smaller, so the whole roast could heat up faster. I cracked and winnowed two pounds of Carenero Superior, put them THINLY on a tray, and set them to roast at 250 F in my gas oven. Within a few minutes, the smell told me they were roasting very nicely. In 15 minutes I could tell I was almost done, and I pulled them out at 20 mins. Right on target!
Visually, they had not changed at all, but the aroma was this great dry biscuity cocoa smell and I could tell when I stirred them that they were much dryer (one of your roasting goals) and harder. All in all, a complete success. The cocoa bean nibs were completely roasted, not charred on the outside and raw on the inside (which can happen if you hit them with REALLY hot temperatures) but nice and even.
So, if you are a little intimidated by drum roasting, or some of the fancy whole bean temperature programs make you nervous, or your roasts are just not as chocolatey as you might like, give this a try. Crack and winnow your cocoa beans, spread them thinly on a tray, and roast them in the oven at 250-260 F for 15-20 minutes. You have to go by smell this way, but that is fine – they smell great when done.
I am trying a whole bean roast tonight, 250 F – 30-40 minutes. I will let you know how it comes out. Hopefully they start roasting in 15-20 minutes, and then roast 15-20 minutes. What I really want to see is if the roast is even and if the beans have a nice bright flavor (like the nib roasting above) or if the flavor is muted at all. Time will tell.
More later.

How did your roasting of the cacao beans go at higher temp? (August 19th post)
I've tried it at home in my gas oven and they toast too much at the longer-higher temp Sonia Big Island of Hawaii
They were not so much a higher temperature, but a longer single temperature. What I found was that I did not care for them as much as compared to the single low temperature nib roasted. The time is what I think the issue is. In order to get the inside fully roasted, the outside – well, it doesn't over roast, but the flavor profile seems to flatten out.
Basically, for "simple" roasting, I think it either has to be as nibs, or in a roasting drum. A "profiled", hot to cool oven (325 – 275 over the roast), does give a nice evenly roasted whole bean in 20-25 minutes.
Sonia, what temperature and times are you doing? How many beans?
Hello! i am really impressed with your site, but i must admit that I may not be ready to shell my own cocoa beans to make my own chocolate. i would like to make milk chocolate with soymilk instead of real milk b/c of a dairy allergy, could I just melt dark chocolate and add powdered soymilk to the mixture? If not, what alternatives are there to creating the chocolate from scratch?
Most dark chocolate is made on the same equipment as milk chocolate, so if you've truely got a milk allergy, I'd make sure that whatever product you're using truely does segregate it's products (parev is a good way to do this). If it's an issue of lactose intolerance, then it's much less of an issue, and you could probably do what you indicate. You'd want to make the soy powder very fine, however, otherwise it'll feel gritty, and you're likely going to need to add more cocoa butter to it to thin it out (once you add your powdered soy milk, the result will be that your product will thicken, perhaps turn to a clay like consistency).
Thank you! I'll try what you suggested- I have a few brands that I've used without problems, it's a good thing too, I did not know that dark and milk chocolate shared machinery. I will post the results 🙂
Scott, Thank you for answering that. I really appreciate your knowledge and desire to share.
As for making milk chocolate, what Scott says is true about the gritty. The only way I have found to eliminate this is by refining in the Santha Wet Grinder. No amount of pre-powdering will sufficiently reduce the grit – it will help shorten refining time, just not eliminate it.

The Lord of Excess
"I've been called over the top," Steinman says. "How silly. If you don't go over the top, you can't see what's on the other side." James Richard Steinman is best known for his collaborations with artists such as Meatloaf (Paradise by the Dashboard Light,) and Bonnie Tyler Total Eclipse of the Heart. His songs have been covered by artists such as Barbara Streisand(Left in the Dark - here's Steinman's original.) Barry Manilow (Read 'Em and Weep, here performed by Meatloaf) Air Supply (Demo with Rory Dodd on vocals) And of course, many of us have seen the "literal versions of his videos for Making Love out of Nothing At All, I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) Total Eclipse of the Heart, inspired by his flamboyant, theatrical style, which does lend itself to parody. But of course, there is much, much more. [more inside]
Tao Lin, literal author
We've seen literal video before. Artist/author Tao Lin (b.1983, previously) has turned literalism into performance and literary art. His Asperger style can be quickly distilled in these literally boring videos: [1],[2],[3],[4]. A video interview with Tao has more insights into his technique (and vegetable chopping). The critics don't always seem to get it, nor do I, though they pay lots of attention.
Total Eclipse of the Heart (Literal Video Version)
Total Eclipse of the Heart (Literal Version) (SLYT). This video has a cracktasticness-surreality quotient that's through the roof. [more inside]
Literal Videos
A-Ha's Take on Me, but done literally with lyrics changed to describe what was happening in the video, instead of the head-scratcher of a 80s video having nothing to do with the song. Also? A-ha still exists and the lead singer still looks the same. This meme of doing new lyrics to go with old videos is novel, previously people made videos to match the lyrics literally.

Would you leave Spain and settle down in a relatively stable and properous Muslim country? If yes, where would that be?
Which is that "relatively stable and prosperous muslim country"? I would if I feel free enough and Im not forced to live under laws that ban me from doing things in the name of Islam but its culture instead.
I guess I would go to Malaysia, this would be my choice :)
happy birthday dear sis may u hav many more with lots of joys aameen
Late reply, but thank you very much!
What u do if someone inloved with u? Accept him?
no, thats a two thing, just because someone says he is in love doesnt mean i have to be or accept him..
Where is your twitter account ? o.O !!
in twitter! changed the name, its @ RevertAishah for now haha
Thanks for your advice :") I really appreciate it! In shaa allah I will try my best to escape from them c:
In shaa Allah. Just get around people who benefit you. Pray Allah for guidance and trust your intuition, I see that it's straight but not strong enough, you can make it as strong as you wish with the correct knowledge :)
And now I scared if they try to brainwash me.
Why? Go away, focus in what you know, in learning the real Islam, never ever accept any "knowledge" without verifying it before.
If you see it coming just go away and ask Allah to protect you
Describe about shia people? :O
Wow mmm I don't understand what Quran they read or what hadiths and their understanding of the deen.
Hi, dear Aishah, I wanted to ask u a Q. Do u think it is haraam for a girl to talk to a guy she really likes? (Chatting)
Well it's not the best thing to do as it might end up in bad things, but it all depends of intentions too, like if they have the intention of being serious, I think it's good, if she is unsure about him, she must leave feelings aside and be realistic, she must protect herself.
Same for guys, it all depends of intentions.
Talking for the sake of talking is haram
Hi ? Can I know why your mum hate u?
Hi. I think she hates my decisions more than me.. she dislikes I reverted, she dislikes my way of thinking as I don't see things as she does, she dislikes I'm not what she wants
How to improve my english grammar , spelling and vocabulary ,any tips? Pliss.. Thanks :D
Practice practice practice and read in English and eventually you will see and correct your mistakes :) do some proper studies as well
My name is Sofiyyah Arafah ..14 Years old ..And stay in Malaysia.. Hby ? :)
Nice to meet you. I'm Aishah, 22 years old and in Spain. Talk in we chat better than here in public
I don't get it , why?
Lost the session. I couldn't sign in. Did i accept you now?
Do you spend too much time on smart phone playing 'stupid games'?
Nope. I don't even have games on my phone :)
What was the first thing on your mind this morning?
"What a stomach pain!" Lol
What have you been thinking about lately?
Too negative to say
May Allah heal my thoughts, make me stronger and grant me what's better for me. Ameen
What is your attitude to human cloning?
This not even normal and we shouldn't modify the nature.. nothing than any human can do will ever be better than what nature can do

The construction of the Main Street Station (MSS) is in its home stretch and plans are to open the facility in mid-to late October. Work on the exterior is almost complete, but there is still a lot of finishing work to do in the underground station. When completed, the MSS will be able to accommodate eight ValleyRide buses. it will have a customer service office, a secure bike storage room, artwork and a police substation.
The City Center Project developed by The Gardner Company is located near the intersection of Main Street and Capitol Boulevard in downtown Boise and includes the construction of an underground transit center for Valley Regional Transit, as well as additional office, retail, meeting and convention space. Construction is expected to be completed in early fall 2016.
Last update: August 30, 2016.
Valley Regional Transit (VRT) is developing the downtown Boise multimodal center (Main Street Station) to provide a central hub for local transit services, including buses, bicyclists and pedestrians. Plans for the multimodal center include a police substation, public restrooms and a center to obtain information about public transportation services and purchase bus passes.
The existing ValleyRide downtown transit center, built in 1990, is located along a four-block plus area along Main and Idaho Streets. It is lacking in services - i.e. there are no customer service offices and bathrooms (for drivers and passengers). The walking distance when transferring from one bus route to another at the existing transit mall can be as long as two blocks.
Gardner Company, a real estate development firm with offices in Boise and Salt Lake City, has come forward to work with VRT as a potential developer partner for the downtown Boise multimodal center.
Gardner Company and VRT are building the multimodal center as part of a new office/convention/retail development center on the west side of the U.S. Bank Building near the corner of Capitol Boulevard and Main Street. Construction will begin this summer (2014). The downtown Boise multimodal center is expected to be complete, operational and open to the public in 2016.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Valley Regional Transit $9.5 million in federal funds to build the downtown Boise multimodal center. VRT anticipates the multimodal center will cost $11.9 million to build. Boise's Capital City Development Corporation is providing an additional $2.4 million in local funds.

The downtown Boise multimodal center multimodal will provide a central hub for buses, bicyclists, pedestrians and other future modes of public transportation. The downtown Boise multimodal center will allow commuters to catch ValleyRide buses. There will be space nearby to meet up with vanpool and carpool riders, park and secure bicycles, access shuttles and taxis, purchase bus passes and obtain information about public transportation services.
The downtown Boise multimodal center is fundamental to the success of our regional transportation system and will improve public transportation services throughout the Treasure Valley. The center will make it easier and more convenient for employees to get to work and for everyone to use public transportation.
The multimodal center will bring many benefits and prepare the Treasure Valley for the future

Which night spots should I hit in Sydney? I'm a 28-year-old single male and I'm mostly interested in French electro/house-type music (Daft Punk, Justice, Ed Banger, Kavinsky, etc). The centerpiece of my trip will be seeing Daft Punk at Never Ever Land. I will be there for a week and I do not know anyone there. Thanks!
