This is a decent site, but it isn't a great one. It offers high-quality flicks in which horny black dudes bang older women. The flicks are exclusive and very hot, but the website makes you wait longer than it really should to get some new ones.

Bottles of wine in a 'bar' code. Not my usual style of font choice, but seems to fit the 'thin line' nature of the barcodes, and of course has a rather obvious 'neon' reference. Maybe cliche, but it's only for fun.:)

Flag Day is celebrated on June 14 each year to honor the United States flag and to commemorate the flag's adoption.
The following shares information about the history of Flag Day along with facts about "Old Glory".
Flag day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day.
Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. It is at the President's discretion to officially proclaim the observance.
The week of June 14 is designated as "National Flag Week." During National Flag Week, the president will issue a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week.
On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday.
One of the longest-running Flag Day parades is held annually in Quincy, Massachusetts, which began in 1952, celebrating its 65th year in 2016.
The largest Flag Day parade is held annually in Troy, New York, which bases its parade on the Quincy parade and typically draws 50,000 spectators.
The National Flag Day Foundation holds an annual observance for Flag Day on the second Sunday in June. The program includes a ceremonial raising of the flag, recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, singing of the national anthem, a parade and more.
To learn more about the National Flag Day Foundation, visit their website.
The American flag has changed designs over the centuries. It consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars.
Each of the 50 stars represent the 50 states in the United States, more on this in a moment. The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies that became the first states in the Union.
The flag has several nicknames including Old Glory, The Starts and Stripes, White and Blue and The Star-Spangled Banner.
Prior to Flag Day, neither the federal government nor the states had official guidelines governing the display of the United States' flag.
Today the United States Flag Code outlines certain guidelines for the use, display, and disposal of the flag. For example, the flag should never be dipped to any person or thing, unless it is the ensign responding to a salute from a ship of a foreign nation.
The flag should always be permitted to fall freely.
When the flag is affixed to the side of a vehicle of any kind (e.g.: cars, boats, planes, anything that moves), it should be oriented so that the canton is towards the front of the vehicle, as if the flag were streaming backwards from its hoist as the vehicle moves forward.
The flag should never be allowed to touch the ground and, if flown at night, must be illuminated.
If the edges become tattered through wear, the flag should be repaired or replaced. When a flag is so tattered that it can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning.
The American Legion and other organizations regularly conduct flag retirement ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14.
The flag should be raised briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously.
Though not part of the official Flag Code, according to military custom, flags should be folded into a triangular shape when not in use.
Traditionally, the flag of the United States plays a role in military funerals, and occasionally in funerals of other civil servants (such as law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and U.S. presidents).
The flag is specifically authorized to be flown 24 hours a day at certain locations including: Fort McHenry, Flag House Square, Marine Corps War Memorial, Marine Corps War Memorial, White House, Lexington Battle Green, Washington Monument, Any port of entry to the United States which is continuously open and Grounds of the National Memorial Arch in Valley Forge State Park
The flag is also flown continuously by custom at the United States Capital Building and Taos Plaza, New Mexico.
The design has been modified multiple times since 1777. The 48-star flag was in effect for 47 years until the 49-star version became official on July 4, 1959. The 50-star flag was ordered by President Eisenhower on August 21, 1959.
The exact red, white, and blue colors to be used in the flag are specified with reference to the CAUS Standard Color Reference of America, 10th edition. Specifically, the colors are "White", "Old Glory Red", and "Old Glory Blue".
The flag did not appear on U.S. postal stamp issues until the Battle of White Plains Issue was released in 1926, depicting the flag with a circle of 13 stars.
Through the years, several songs have been written about or prominently feature the flag including "The Stars and Stripes Forever", "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "The Halls of Montezuma".
The next few slides chronicle the addition of stars and the states represented according to the Smithsonian.
13 stars - 1777 to 1795 Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey in 1787. Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia and New York in 1788.North Carolina in 1789 and Rhode Island in 1790.

"Well I don't see what the big deal is." Sasha's brow was furrowed as she poked at the little flower on the dish before her. "If slaves are illegal here then why not just sell them off in Malatesta or Loxphari? My mom had lots of slaves and it wasn't illegal back home..."
With that, the ranger popped the ginger blossom into her mouth, eyes immediately going wide as she looked about for bread or wine.
|Lureene Ourson
Lureene hid her exultation at how easily the boorish nobleman fell for her ruse. She knew he was infatuated with her and would be most...tractable in the future. Almost giddily she raises her wine glass for another refill, almost dropping it on the table as it nearly slipped out of her fingers.
Maybe this was not such a good idea after all...
"I am quite pleased to hear that, Lord Gallo. I feel her Highness has done a...fair job convincing me slavery is not a sound economic model. I am pleased to find you feel the same way!" She sets the goblet down, and feeling more than a tad tipsy decides she should have some of the ginger along with some bread to soak up the wine. Whether it was the spiciness of the ginger or the thickness of the bread, she felt the tipsiness pass over her.
At least it was not shellfish...
|Alis Kirmoon
While Amhranai had been around long enough to know that anyone with enough eloquence could string together the right words, the black-haired elf was seemingly more content to watch and see what developed. As she observed, the polite applause died down, and the Princess continued to speak.
"Looking around this hall, I can see that many of Dafar's key industries are represented — agriculture, forestry, livestock, transportation, commerce, and magic... Not surprisingly, this makes each of you prominent citizens within your districts; in some cases, you may be members of our protectorate's peerage..."
"Yet just taking Port Eldarion as an example, a walk along the walls of Colossineum reveal that the city's census has excluded a great many of the people who live, work, and die here. While enjoying the start of our midday feast, Lady Hlokenar posed a question to me. 'Your Highness,' she asked, 'who do you believe should represent the Zuck's best interests?' When I in turn inquired as to which nobles currently represent their best interests, I was met with a curious response."
Here Alis paused for several moments. As the last echoes of her voice faded away, the faint sound of falling could be made out, a low-hanging cloud of steam rising from the now glistening peristyle garden to the north. All around the chamber, there was a growing sense of uneasiness. No one in their right mind would dare to interrupt the Princess, but was she waiting on a reply?
From Lady Lureene's exedra, the red-headed warrior, Sasha tentatively raised her hand, but a single word, "Silence!" filled the chamber like the peal of thunder.
Even as the huntress paled, thinking the comment was directed at her, Alis continued, "When I asked which nobles currently represent the natives' best interests, I was met by... silence."
As the comment faded, the rainfall began to increase in volume, resounding throughout the porticoes and halls of Villa Sempronius in a morose drone.
"While we continue to dine, I would like each of you to reflect on how we might best stand-up for those weak many who inhabited this land before us. Make no mistake, the Zucks' plight can only go unanswered for so long before their tears salt the earth and wash we privileged few into the sea. We have already seen the sort of leaders who might arise from strife and discord. Unless we wish for more O'beilumanjis, then we would do well to provide the Zucks with the leadership they need... not with the leaders we might deserve."
Theme: Harappa
With that, the Princess returned to her seat, and give a nod to the conductor. Once more, the chamber orchestra began to play, this time performing a piece with more gravitas, that incorporated both heavy strings, and native instruments to the accompaniment of a somber chorus.
|Lureene Ourson
Well...that was certainly dramatic of 'Lis, however she is right though. If we don't do something about the plight of the Zucks, then more troubles will arise...Waitaminute...I thought I asked that question of her, not Lily!
Lureene steals a quick look at her dinner 'companion', trying to read how the Guildmaster reacted to the pronouncement from the Princess.
While the Princess' oratory and the midday rainstorm had certainly cast a pallor over the event, it did have the desired effect of dispelling any notion that she was frivolous or complacent. Clearly Dafar's new ruler was not only apt to hold others responsible for doing their part, but she had implied that those who were part of the problem might forfeit their station. She had no need to plead for compromise and self-sacrifice when the instinct for self-preservation might necessitate it.
|Lucio Gallo
"Wuu-uh-uh-uh..." With a shudder, Lord Gallo had swallowed his ginger blossom, drawing closer to Lureene and pulling one of her wings around him as if trying to fend off a chill. As the tipsy beauty looked up at him, he bulky nobleman, he put an arm around her and said in a loud whisper, the large amount of wine with which he and the succubus had been plied evidently affecting him as well, "Y- your P-princess is as scary as she is beautiful, my Lady. D- do you think the Zucks could really rise up like she says? And wh-what of the p-pirates? We are beset on all sides it seems!"
|Sasha Nevah
|Gelik Aberwhinge
"Heh," Gelik gave an amused chuckle as he savored the spicy aroma of his morsel. "Her Highness, Sasha dearest, certainly was intense, but truthfully your action was immaterial to Alissariel's reaction — from where she stood, the Princess could not even see you."
With a sidelong glance at Lord Gallo he commented, "Unlike, for example, the nobleman presently laying his hands upon her lady in waiting..."
With that, he downed his ginger blossom, savoring the sensation spreading thru his sinuses as it cleared his palette and set his mouth to watering. "Ah, is that a stuffed boar I spy? I wonder if the chefs prepared any goatfish..."
As surely as the mention of stuffed boar made Sasha perk up, Lady Elendreth blanched. Averting her gaze, she looked instead at Lureene and Lucio and commented, "Such a vulgar display, is that really quite appropriate before a princess of Ilmarond?"
Sense Motive DC 19:
L 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
g 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
i 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
S 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 2 = 23 human
l 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
|Ieana d'Adora
"Oh I wouldn't say that," Ieana commented, either paying no mind to the dual-nature of the abjurer's criticism of both the stuffed boar and the pig who was getting handsy with Lureene. "Compared to the spectacles we have been a party to this past month, I rather imagine the sight of a bloated pig being split open could hardly phase any of us, least of all the Princess. I rather imagine Alissariel is becoming rather inured to such visceral displays by now..."
|Lucio Gallo
For a brief moment, Lord Gallo made eye contact with Sasha, who returned his glance with a wolfish grin. When the red-head quickly raised and lowered her eyebrows in excitement, he gave a cough, anxiously looking at the chef who now made a show of sharpening his blade as the Princess looked on unperturbed. Slowly, as if trying to avoid drawing the attention of a predator, the sotted nobleman withdrew his arm by feigning to scratch an itch on the opposite shoulder.
"Sooo..." he began, "it sounds like your group must have had quite the adventures while shipwrecked on the Reaver's Shiv. Was it truly haunted as the legends say?"
|Lureene Ourson
It took all of Lureene's considerable willpower to avoid doing something to the besotted nobleman that would raise a scene, to put it mildly. Once Lord Gallo withdrew his arm she gives the ladies (and Gelik) sitting across from her a quick nod of gratitude.
This lecher actually CAN take a hint!
As she reaches for her glass again, she dimly realizes she has had too much to drink. However, considering the company she was forced to endure, maybe an extra drink was in order...
Lord Gallo's question caught her off-guard. She takes another drink of wine to help collect her thoughts. Turning to face Gallo she replies softly, "Yes, it is...or I should say WAS haunted. Sasha, Gelik and I ran into one of those restless spirits and, fortunately we were able to send it to its resting-place."
|Sasha Nevah
"Oh yeah, I remember that!" Sasha exclaimed. "I had that old sea captain, what was his name, Captain Accordion? aaall taken care of and then Lureene got him all riled up again! One minute he thought I was his 'crimson-haired elven goddess', A-she-ma-rue, then next thing I'm all cut up from his hook — I thought my heart was going to crap out on me!"
With a Hmmph, Sasha stuck out her tongue at Lureene, and idly found herself gazing at Lady Sindariel. "I bet he wouldn't have done that to her," she murmured to herself.
|Gelik Aberwhinge
"To be fair," Gelik offered, "Ms. Nevah's recollection may be a bit hazy from the trauma of the experience. I believe the ghostly gentleman's name was Avret Kinkarian, captain of the 'Brine Demon'. His lady love's name was Aeshamara."
Twirling the end of his mustache and puffing out his chest a bit, the toga-clad gnome remarked, "I have made it something of a point to chronicle the adventures of the pulchritudinous playmates into whose care fate has delivered me. Our run-in with that ghost was among our tamer exploits, I assure you."
|Rinaldo Dagonius
"Hoo boy!" Following Alis' speech, Rindaldo patted his forehead with a handkerchief. "That young lady certainly knows how to read a man the riot act!"
"Now call me crazy, but the way I see it, you want to teach a boy to be a man," he thumped the heel of his fist on the table, "you've got to give him responsibilities! Just no sense in one man doing all the work and giving hand-outs to another able-bodied lad. Too much charity is just coddling, it robs a man of his dignity."
|Carlina Mondracus
Theme: Indulgence
As the previous song died down and another began, Baroness Mondracus dolefully eyed the great boar that was being set on its feet above a silver platter the size of a rowboat. With a sullen look, she ran a finger around the edge of her wineglass. "Is mucking about in a beast's innards the sort of responsibility you have in mind, Rinaldo?"
|Rinaldo Dagonius
"Now, now," the whaling baron waved a finger, "hunting's a fine tradition and a way of life for some folks. Dressing a gazelle is one thing but a man has to be careful with a kill as big as a whale. That's a job for a whole team of men and they've all got a responsibility to one another, it's dangerous work, but work that's got to be done just the same!"
|Carlina Mondracus
|Rinaldo Dagonius
"Hmm," the husky gentleman ran two fingers back and forth along his jawline. "Not quite sure I'd put it like that, mind you. Don't think the Dafari were exactly what I'd call deep sea whalers you know."
Chuckling a bit, he winked at Angrem and continued, "My dear Carlina, a man passes on what he knows to his son so the boy can grow up to make a living for himself some day. Why I've gone on more than a few hunting and fishing trips in the back country to tell you that's as true among the tribes of the Zuktol as it is with stonemasons and shipwrights. Might not be as big a part of your business as mine, but even some of your livestock is raised for slaughter."
|Carlina Mondracus
There was ice in the Baroness' voice as she responded, "Our economy has all the hunters, butchers, and unskilled laborers it can stand, Lord Dagonius. Many of those Zucks living outside the city walls no longer have the benefit of being able to learn relevant vocations from their fathers."
|Angrem Rochmir
A long, slow sigh escaped Master Rochmir as the two barons argued back and forth. Looking to Amhranai he said, "Here we go again," before turning his attention to upcoming spectacle.
There, in the center of the great hall, the master chef had finished sharpening his knife and now and approached the boar, the orchestra building tension with every stroke of their strings, every swell of their horns.
|Jaro Corvinus
"Ah, haha!" Jaro had waved off wine in favor of a stout of which he had just taken a deep draught. "Look at the peacocks sweating their estates, Ize. Your kid sister just stirs up all the hornets' nests, doesn't she?"
When the music had changed and the serving staff paraded the giant boar thru the chamber, the harbormaster had grinned in anticipation. "Guess they don't grow boar underground," he had said, "but you're in for a treat, dwarf!"
Now, sitting a bit closer to Isaac so he could see, Jaro commented, "Your cousin's quite the firebrand herself, isn't she Darvesch? Old Governor Taurion would never have had a stuffed boar at one of her parties!"
|Yvonne d'Calla
With a nod of approval, the master chef handed his blade to a lithe dancing girl who Lureene might have recognized were she able to see past Lucio's bulk. Clad in gold and red silk, a belt of chiming coins girding her hips, the dusky-skinned woman lilted around the boar in time to the music, hips and breasts swaying to the beat of the drums. With each rising course of the instrumentation, she whipped her hair about, black curls cascading like surf upon the glistening curves of her arms and back.
Lord Gallo and Master Corvinus were not the only one enraptured by the dance of the sultry, green-eyed beauty. Melianna's grip upon her husband's sleeve grew tighter, and Sindariel nodded subtly in appreciation of the woman's skill. For his part, Arion's eyes never strayed from the flashing blade in Yvonne's hand.
As the song reached its crescendo, the gypsy princess whipped her hair back and forth, kneeling beside the great boar until finally, on the last strain of the horns, the blade slashed open the belly of the great boar. Like so many intestines, the sausages and fruit with which it had been stuffed spilled forth, covering the vast silver platter in its bounty!
Yet instead of becoming covered in the stewed 'gore', the dancer had lept clear with her follow-thru, and knelt, legs beneath her, in a reclined position, back arched parallel to the floor, breathing heavily.
|Alis Kirmoon
Even as Lord Poe and Lady Elendreth turned a pale shade of green, Princess Alis' applause was swiftly and enthusiastically joined by the rest of the party, Lilyana and Naiobe every bit as appreciative of the Setenbori woman's choreographic skill.
"My thanks, Lady d'Calla, for a splendid performance! The Golden Drakes shall always be welcome at my court. Now all of you, feast and consider how we might enable all of Dafar's people to share in her bounty!"
Conversation drew to a close as the business of eating commenced around the table. Amhranai settled back in her chair, a steady stream of grapes, cheeses and meats disappearing from the table and, in between trips, the seemingly unmindful elf sucked the detritus from her ash grey fingers, eschewing the cloth laid out for the express purpose of cleaning one's hands. Alis' voice rang out as those fingers now carried a glass of water off the table, halting halfway to its destination.
Straight for the jugular then. Will these convictions hold in the face of adversity though? Amhranai peered over the lip of the glass, seeking out those faces she could see from her seat and gauging the reactions she found there. I wonder whose heart just skipped a few beats. Not as if any of those here have also not heard the same before. Who will be the first to test the new governor? And how direct will they be in that test? Water washed down her drying throat, which was grateful for the attention. More importantly, what will her response be? Doing away with some of this opulence might be a good start, Princess, if you wish to really catch the attention of the Zucks.
A sour grimace greeted the Baron's exclamation. Exchanging glances with Rochmir as the other two spoke, Amhranai's lips turned down further, exposing her teeth. The skin of a grape wrapped around one tooth, which she freed before speaking. "Hunting is a fine tradition, Baron, until it leads to extinction. You humans are young yet, but there are some creatures that no longer roam the earth thanks to the 'fine tradition of hunting'. Note that for a way of life, hunting is not a sport. While some of the needs your vocation meets will always be required, it should not become the sport it is to so many."
Now, sitting a bit closer to Isaac so he could see, Jaro commented, "Your cousin's quite the firebrand herself, isn't she Darvesch? Old Governor Taurion would never have had a stuffed boar at one of her parties!"
"Heh, you have no idea how much of a firebrand she really can be. You should see her in battle sometime." He heartily laughs. "Not everyone is as adventurous as Ali.. i mean, the Princess." Quickly he finds more food to occupy his mouth, an attempt to save more embarrassment.
|Rinaldo Dagonius
"Extinction?" Rinaldo's eyebrow popped so high that his monocle took a tumble, dangling from his pocket by its cord. "Can't say I know what to think about such a notion..."
"Hrm." The middle-aged gentleman propped his elbow on the table as he looked out at the steam rising up from the boar's false entrails, that fist supporting his chin, the other resting on his hip. In a low, thoughtful tone, he murmured, "Be a mighty sad fate to be a hunter with no game left to trail..."
|Angrem Rochmir
|Carlina Mondracus
Speaking a bit more tenderly to Rindaldo than she was usually inclined to, the elves' morbid truths making her shiver, Carlina said, "That is exactly the situation many of the Zucks now find themselves in, Rinaldo. For those forced to abandon the jungle, they might as well be hunters without game. They have become strangers in their own land, and their old leaders can no longer lead them — at least not here."
Shoulders slumping with resignation, she looked to Amhranai and asked, "It is up to us to help lead them now, isn't it? That or let them fall prey to the greed of others like strangers in a foreign land..."
|Jaro Corvinus
"Heh, you have no idea how much of a firebrand she really can be. You should see her in battle sometime. ... Not everyone is as adventurous as Ali.. i mean, the Princess."
As Darvesch quickly helped himself to the piping hot sausages that were set before them, Jaro gave Isaac an incredulous look before leaning over to get a better look. "We're still talking about the little blonde elf girl, right? Hell, I'm twice her size and that's just my left arm!"
Shaking his head in disbelief, Jaro clapped Isaac on the shoulder and said, "Well, you might have blown it with the Princess, Ize, but I'll volunteer to take your place. So, Darvesch..."
Jaro regained his seat and nodded in appreciation to the serving girl that had just laid a side of pork at their table. Straightening the silk tie about his neck and smoothing his doublet, he asked, "What would it take to get a Princess to marry outside her station? Just need to solve this crisis she's on a rial about right? Just tell her I got this. The rest is details!"
With a good-natured laugh, he rapped his hands on the edge of the table and flipped a fork into his hand by striking the tines with the heel of his fist. "Ah, let's eat!"
|Michael Darnell
Er... well this ended up in the wrong thread!
|Jaro Corvinus
|Lureene Ourson
Twirling the end of his mustache and puffing out his chest a bit, the toga-clad gnome remarked, "I have made it something of a point to chronicle the adventures of the pulchritudinous playmates into whose care fate has delivered me. Our run-in with that ghost was among our tamer exploits, I assure you."
Lureene's mouth waters as the smells of the delicious feast waft to her nose. Before she starts digging into the food, she does spare Gelik a smoldering gaze. "You just stick close to me, Master Gel, and there will be many more exploits for you to...cover!"
That reminds me, I do need to have someone look over those ledgers we found there, and I do still have her locket...It will be interesting to see if I can track her down...
|Gelik Aberwhinge
Gelik had just tipped his glass to Lureene with a wink when the royal guards crosses their halberds in the path of an exotic looking woman, strongly-built with light-brown skin and hazel eyes.
"Heads-up, Sash," the gnome murmured, brow furrowed as he watched the disguised assassin, Arion, approach the situation.
From where Lureene's company sat, it was easy enough to see that the woman was about the same height as Alis and Lily and garbed in the fashion of the city guard. Her particular uniform marked her as a battle priestess of some sort. At the scribe's approach, the guards momentarily withdrew their polearms, allowing Arion to pass so that the two might converse.
|Sasha Nevah
|Sasha Nevah
|Gelik Aberwhinge
|Sasha Nevah
|Amoya Echorn
Amoya walked up to major hlokenar table with purpose and her features stoic. She isn't mind the looks she was being given after being use to it for so long, though the fact that she was being escorted probably brought more attention to herself.
She placed a hand on Isaac's shoulder and leaned in to whisper, though all tht were at his table could hear her. "Sir, we have a situation that requires your attention." she said rather flatly, though Isaac seemed to know that tone by the uncomfortable look he got on his face.
She stood up straight after giving Isaac the information and gave the young Poe a look that wet straight through him, narrowing her eyes at him as if to say 'you best be behaving boy.' and headed out with the guards who escorted her in.
|Jaro Corvinus
Jaro cocked his head to the side, brown eyes appraising the sway of the young woman's hips as she departed. "So, why is it that when a guy parks his carriage illegally it's always some fat bastard who issues the citation instead of someone like that? Hell, if she wanted to frisk me..."
Suddenly realizing the fact that he'd just been talking to the dwarf about courting his cousin, the harbormaster feigned nervousness and said, "Oh damn, I'm going to find out if that dungeon beneath the palace is real now, aren't I?"
|Sasha Nevah
"Well that was fast!" Sasha protested as she watched Corporal Echorn make her way back out of the great hall. Beside Elendreth, the huntress was practically bouncing in her seat as she rapidly kicked her long legs back and forth beneath the table, chewing on the corner of her mouth in agitation. "I better go talk to Ize — official warrior stuff and all that. Just scream if you sprout any blades, ok? Bye-ee!"
And just like that, without waiting for Lureene to give her leave, Sasha was off like a distracted humming bird!
|Lucio Gallo
"Hunnh?" Lucio practically choked in surprise as the red head darted away, the large man having paid no heed to anything but gorging himself since the main course had been served.
Wiping the grease from his mouth with the side of his thumb, he looked at Lureene, eyes finding a good angle on her cleavage, and asked, "Heh heh, your guard woman, she has a lot of energy, doesn't she?"
|Gelik Aberwhinge
"Indeed," Gelik remarked, leveling a steely gaze at the nobleman, "You should see her when she has a sharp blade in hand. Why on this one occasion not long ago, Sasha swam two miles thru shark-infested waters, climbed a cliff, and broke into a prison manned by giant cannibals just to save her friends. Why the gleam that dear girl had in her eyes as she eviscerated those over-grown man-eaters was positively frightening — you've never seen so much blood!"
"Oh and the screeaams," the short-statured storyteller shook his hands in the air for effect, "I had always imagined castration to be an uncomfortable experience at best, but then one would think a knife to be better-suited to the procedure than a cut and thrust sword. Daresay I'm rather glad she was on our side! Energetic girl... energetic girl..."
With a shudder and shrug, the gnome turned his attention back to the dinner spread and pointed, "Pardon, milord, but could you pass the sausage? Short-reach I'm afraid."

The Boy Scouts of America's national executive board has delayed a decision on whether to lift its longstanding ban on gay scouts and leaders.
BSA said Wednesday the organization will take action on the resolution at its national meeting in May.
The organization said last week it was considering a shift of its policy, which has led officials to remove gay leaders and scouts. That announcement pushed years of debate over the policy to an even higher level.
President Barack Obama -- Scouting's honorary president -- spoke in favor of letting gay scouts in. Others opposed a shift. Protesters on both sides rallied at BSA headquarters in Irving.
Scout leaders across the country will now have to decide how to handle a very delicate issue.

State acquires 590 more acres in the Catskill Park
May 21, 2014 —
SHANDAKAN, NY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced on May 20 that New York State has acquired 590 acres of land on the upper slopes of Balsam Mountain in the Catskill Park, which will help to preserve critical habitats and expand outdoor recreation opportunities for visitors. According to the governor's office, this effort supports the goals of the governor's 2014 Tourism Summit as well as the state's weeklong celebration of the beginning of the summer travel season, which features various outdoor recreational opportunities.
"By purchasing nearly 600 acres around Balsam Mountain, the state is expanding the Catskill Forest and helping ensure this natural jewel will be preserved and accessible for generations to come," Gov. Cuomo said. "The addition of these lands builds on the state's efforts to protect valuable natural resources and habitats, while also opening up new opportunities for New Yorkers and our visitors to experience the great outdoor areas and recreational assets available here in the Empire State."
The Balsam Mountain property is located in the Town of Shandaken, Ulster County.

So where's winter?
If the world doesn't end tomorrow, winter will officially arrive at 6:12 a.m. on Friday.
Friday marks the end of the ancient Mayan calendar, the time when some believe the world will end. That would mean the end of everything … including skiing and snowboarding.
But there's bigger question some are asking: How are snow conditions?
Well … it depends of where you go.
Head to Sugarloaf and Saddleback in Maine and you can enjoy some sweet deep powder. The real stuff, not machine made snow.
That's because, for some reason, the Snow Gods have blessed these two areas with up to 32 inches of pow pow in the last seven days. As you would expect, the Big Dump has exploded trail counts at these two areas.
The Lucky Loaf reports this morning: "The snow has left us buried here at Sugarloaf, with total accumulations of over 2 and a half feet of fresh powder since Sunday. Trail count has jumped to over 100, and more snow is on its way with possible accumulations of 4-6 inches through Thursday night and Friday. Snow is soft, and surprisingly light at elevations Temps in the 20s and 30s today, with little to no wind forecasted."
Sunday River in western Maine picked up 14 inches in the last three days, allowing it to open up 58 or its 132 trails.
Unfortunately, the big snow missed most northern New England areas. Yeah, White Mountain areas in New Hampsha got up to 13 inches many, but most Granite State hills had to settle for a only a few inches.
In Vermont, the big winners were in the northern part of the Green Mountain State. Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolton and Jay are sitting pretty with up to 17 inches of freshies. Killington reports it got 7 inches.
Southern Vermont areas like Mount Snow and Stratton were on the short end of the snow stake with just a few inches. Hey, we'll take it and now it looks like winter.
Sadly, Massachuetts and Connecticut areas got nothing. And we're going to get kicked again with some heavy rain moving in tonight.
Once the rain moves out Friday, those ski areas will have time to recover for the weekend.
While no major snowstorms are expected during the Christmas/New Year's break, a long stretch of cold temperatures will allow ski areas to open up more terrain through the salvation of snowmaking.
Yes, it's not a perfect situation and things will be more crowded during holiday week, but it's not enough to cancel your plans.
My advice: If you're planning to be skiing or snowboarding up north next week I'd get out early to enjoy the best conditions and fewer people.

it seems that the press and Comrade Obama's regime chose to ignore the happenings in Venezuela were several people are tortured, killed and thrown in prison daily just because they despise the socialist government being imposed upon them.
Troops are being sent from Castro's Cuba to help the government put the demonstrations down as well as troops from Bolivia both with communists regimes. South America is exploding very few countries have not accepted the Socialist/Communist way. We have leftist government in most of Central and South American Countries including nations we considered allies and our friends as Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru.
Remember when the foreign policy of the United States was based on Teddy Roosevelt pronouncement: "SPEAK SOFT AND CARRY A BIG STICK" . The United States was respected in the world and our enemies feared us. Now we seem to be timid and conciliate every time . Is time to grow a pair again and demonstrate to the world the American way.
Our enemies keep concentrating in South and Central America, backed up by Iran and our enemies they have sent planes ,built military bases, placed missiles in strategic locations all the while John Kerry and Comrade Obama keep talking about Global Warming as the biggest threat to our country.
I ask you to pray for Venezuela, is happening the same as it happened in my birth country of Cuba.
I will tell you it is happening in this country as we speak.
