Justin Timberlake Banged Mila Kunis
"That's right. Laugh into my erection, puppet. Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh."
Back when Justin Timberlake tricked Olivia Munn into thinking he broke up with Jessica Biel, it was also rumored that Mila Kunis shot him down while they were filming Friends With Benefits. Of course, that was when she was half-blind and under the impression Macaulay Culkin didn't look like a 15-year-old drug addict, so cut to the SAG Awards this past weekend where a vision-restored Mila was all over Justin. People reports:
Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis spent much of the night after the Screen Actors Guild Awards hanging out together at the PEOPLE/Entertainment Industry Foundation SAG Gala.
Then later on Sunday night, the singer/actor and his Friends With Benefits costar were "pretty inseparable" at another bash thrown by the Weinstein Company and Dewars, an observer says.
Look, I could sit here and say this is a simple case of two colleagues having a completely platonic good time together, but that would also imply that human biology doesn't compel us to seek intercourse with aesthetically pleasing people in an effort to pass on superior genes. So in a way, these two had to fuck, and I don't see how Jessica Biel can get mad about that. I mean, even I want to be angry because my last sexual encounter was with a sock, but as a wise man once told me, "Sometimes you have to put your hate-boner down and be a scientist about shit."
- Carl Sagan. June 4, 1989.

For the second time in as many weeks, the Hamilton baseball team turned to pitching ace Kinnon Nolan-Finkel — and again, he didn't disappoint.
With Nolan-Finkel using precision and a variety of pitches, the Emerald Knights went out Tuesday and produced a 7-1 victory over Richfield Springs.
Hamilton was now 2-0, and Nolan-Finkel had pitched both games. He allowed just two hits in five innings of work before Jack Sullivan took over to close things out.
It was close for a long while, but with the Emerald Knights ahead 1-0, it broke things open with six runs in the top of the fifth inning off RS pitcher Matt McMann. Adam MacBain and Lucas Rhyde both had key hits in the rally.
Canastota rallied to beat Waterville 3-2 in its home opener. The visiting Indians had a 2-0 edge before the Raiders scored once in the fourth inning, then pulled in front when Jake LaBarre smacked a bases-loaded single in the fifth that brought home the tying and go-ahead runs.
Alex Foster pitched the whole way, piling up nine strikeouts against four hits and two walks. Clinging to that one-run edge in the seventh, Foster set down the Waterville hitters in order to give Canastota the win.
Morrisville-Eaton took a 9-3 loss to West Canada Valley on Tuesday, as the Indians got runs in each of the first five innings to take charge. Ben Thomas took the loss as WCV's Tyler Porter pitched for the win and also scored three runs.

The Princeton Tec Eco Flare Personal Locator Light should be an integral part of any outdoor enthusiast's equipment bag. The Eco Flare can be set on constant, high-output, incandescent mode for use as an area/personal locator light, or on flashing, red Ultrabright LED mode for low-visibility, dark nights. The Ultrabright LED will burn in excess of 500+ hours on 2 AAA alkaline batteries (included). The Eco Flare can also be attached to your dog's collar for easy identification in low light conditions.
|Item #:
|1.48 oz / 41.96 g
|Burn Time:
|500 hrs
|328 ft / 100 m
|Made in:
|Part Number
|Neon Yellow †
The light is just right to keep securely attached to a life vest. I keep the intermittent blinking bulb in it now. I have a Princeton Tec headlight for better illumination, but it's good to have a light that you know will be with you at all times. Sometimes dusk just comes in quickly on an evening that is clouding up, especially in the fall.
The incandescent mode and red flashing mode actually describe 2 different bulbs. The product has no storage receptacle for the bulb you're not currently using. Unless you have very slender fingers, it's difficult to grasp and remove the bulb because it's seated at the bottom of the concave reflector. It's also a challenge to insert a bulb, since it has 2 little wire prongs that must be inserted into the openings of 2 tiny tubes. You can't see the openings because the bulb blocks their view as you're inserting the bulb. A funnel shaped extension at the end of each tube would have been helpful in guiding the wire prongs into the tubes. In short, don't plan to change bulbs in field conditions. The thin wire of the little "key ring" doesn't seem strong enough for securely attaching the light.
Kinda get what you pay for I guess. I have yet to try this on the water, but I did hook it on the back shoulder of my PFD after putting the batteries in it. I'm not sure what to do with the extra bulb, so I taped it to the inside of my kayak dash. It's smaller than I though it would be, but I only hope to use it in emergencies and if I do any night paddling. We'll see how it works this spring on the water.
Unit smaller than I expected but that is a good thing. Well constructed and long battery life.

Scotty McCreery And Lauren Alaina Will Release Albums In October
Both Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina have officially announced their plans for their debut albums.
American Idol winner Scotty McCreery will release his debut album on October 4th. The title is 'Clear as Day', and yes, his first single 'I Love You This Big' will be one of the tracks.
The 17 year old has been keeping very busy since being given the title of 'American Idol'. Not only is he out on the American Idols Live tour with the top 11 from last season, but he has also been in the studio recording when he has a break on the tour.
Lauren Alaina was the runner-up to Scotty, and she will be putting her debut album on the shelves October 11th. Her first single 'Like My Mother Does' will be one of the tracks on the album titled 'Wildflower'. There will be a good mix of music on this album, you can expect both upbeat dance tunes and slower ballads as well.
I'm really excited for both albums! I was a fan of the two country artists from the beginning of American Idol and I am happy to see them be successful.

Homemade Potting Media
Many cost conscious home gardeners and do-it-yourselfers are often looking for cheaper ways of growing plants for home and garden use. One way to achieve this may be by making homemade potting media rather than purchasing pre-made materials at garden centers and home supply stores. Although purchasing the base ingredients and developing your own mix may not result in a cheaper mix, it does offer the opportunity to be creative and to modify mixes for specific goals or plants that you feel would make a media better for your situation. The following information will provide you with a basic understanding of potting media ingredients and steps for making a homemade media from scratch.
Potting media, which has a coarser texture than garden soil, is commonly used in container gardens and in trays for sowing seeds. Ingredients recommended for potting media have changed over the years as research conducted by professional horticulturists has identified components that are beneficial for sowing seeds and plant growth. Before the mid-1900's, soil-based potting media was commonly used; however, in recent years, peat-based soilless mixes have become more popular. Many ingredients are now available to gardeners who choose to create a homemade potting media instead of buying one from a retailer.
Media Ingredients
Either soil-based or peat-based potting media can be made at home by combining individual ingredients.
Recipes given here are measured in gallons for primary ingredients and in teaspoons and tablespoons or ounces and grams for smaller ingredients. Primary ingredients used for both soil-based and peat-based media are discussed below.
- Sphagnum peat moss has a course texture and contributes to good aeration, yet provides waterholding capacity to prevent soil from drying too quickly. Adding too much sphagnum peat, however, can restrict soil drainage by holding too much water. Sphagnum peat moss can be difficult to wet and should be moistened prior to mixing in other ingredients.
- Coarse, sharp, or builder sand, often used in construction, is a primary ingredient in potting media. Like peat moss, sand improves drainage and aeration, but does not improve water-holding capacity. Too much sand will make containers too heavy to move. Sand should not be mixed with a clay-based soil.
- Perlite can be used in both peat-based and soil-based potting media in place of sand. Perlite is expanded volcanic rock (fluoride-based), manufactured when heated to 1,800oF. Like sand, perlite provides great drainage, but is lighter in weight and holds more air. Although more expensive than sand, the advantages may outweigh the additional cost. Disadvantages of perlite include: 1) a tendency to float to the top of the medium when watered; 2) an inability to hold or retain water; and 3) a need to be moistened before it is mixed into other ingredients to reduce dust, which is harmful if inhaled.
- Vermiculite is often used instead of perlite. Vermiculite is clay belonging to the mica family and is naturally found in laminated flakes. It expands when folds of vermiculite can hold water, nutrients, and air, unlike perlite. Only horticultural grades, sold at garden centers, are recommended. Vermiculite can easily compact, which reduces its ability to hold water and air.
Making Soil-based Potting Media
The following is a basic recipe for soil-based potting media. In this recipe garden loam soil, coarse construction sand, and sphagnum peat moss are combined together in equal parts by volume:
- Start with one gallon of sterilized loam soil, commonly called garden soil and sold at garden centers, and pour it into a clean, empty bushel basket. Sterilized loam soil is worth the cost to avoid disease, insect, and weed problems that may exist in unsterilized soil. Soil taken directly from the garden may be contaminated with these pests, causing possible future problems such as dead, deformed, or stunted seedlings. Weeds in garden soil generally grow vigorously and crowd out desired seedlings by competing for nutrients, water, air, and light.
- Add one gallon of moist, coarse sphagnum peat moss, followed by one gallon of coarse sand, perlite, or vermiculite.
- Adjust the texture of the medium to create a loose, well-drained mixture. Sand feels gritty and clay feels sticky. If the potting soil feels too sandy, more peat moss should be added. If the potting soil feels too sticky, extra sand and peat moss should be added. Adjust the texture by adding small portions of sand and/or peat moss until you are satisfied with the texture.
Making Soilless or Peat-based Potting Media
Soilless mixes or peat-based potting media do not contain any soil, but generally consist of peat moss combined with horticultural grades of vermiculite and/ or perlite and added fertilizer. Peat-based media are useful for seed germination because they are relatively sterile, light in texture and weight, and uniform. The light texture enables seeds to readily germinate and emerge, allows tender roots to grow, and makes transplanting seedlings easier.
In general, standard media recipes are created based on the types of plants being grown (ex. bedding plants, potted plants, or for seed germination). A standard recipe for a homemade soilless mix consists of half sphagnum peat moss and half perlite or vermiculite. To mix ½ bushel basket or four gallons of media:
- Start by pouring two gallons of peat moss into the bushel basket.
- Add two gallons of either perlite or vermiculite and mix thoroughly.
- Moisten the mix before using in pots or flats.
Adding Ground Limestone and Fertilizer to Soil and Soilless Potting Media
Small amounts of ground limestone and fertilizer will need to be added to the media. These ingredients can be blended together in a separate container and then added to the bushel basket. Fertilizer will supply nutrients; however, the correct media pH must be maintained so these nutrients can be available for plant roots to absorb. The range in which all nutrients are available to most plants is between 6.0 (slightly acidic) and 7.0.
Based on the length of time plants will be held in containers, it may or may not be necessary to add supplemental fertilizers to soil-based media. Clay or mineral content in garden soil provides cation exchange capacity (CEC) for nutrient retention and water-holding capabilities. Therefore, soil-based media generally provides enough fertility compared to soilless media. When making soil-based mixes, the pH will need to be adjusted according to soil test results. Soil test kits are available for purchase from your county extension office or garden center. (Refer to the website to contact your local county extension office.)
Although soil-based potting media may not initially require fertilizer in the mix, additional nutrients are usually helpful for plants that will remain in the same container for several years. A slow release complete fertilizer (e.g., Osmocote) can be added to both soil-based and soilless potting media at rates recommended on the fertilizer label. Slow release fertilizers will assure that nutrients are available for your plants through the coming months.
Whether soil-based or peat-based, media often has a pH that is too low (generally below 6.0) and should be adjusted. Adding ground calcitic limestone or agricultural lime raises media pH and contains calcium, which strengthens cell walls. Dolomitic limestone, sometimes used instead of calcitic limestone, also raises media pH and supplies magnesium as well as calcium. Four level tablespoons of limestone (about 2 ounces or 57 grams) can be added to the bushel basket. Soilless or peat-based media often require the pH to be adjusted upward (to between 6.0 and 7.0) and buffering to prevent rapid drops in pH while the plant is growing. One way to do this is to apply an alkaline fertilizer. Two teaspoons (about ½ ounce or 14.2 grams) of potassium nitrate (15-0-15) and the same quantity of calcium nitrate (15.5-0-0) can be added to supply nitrogen and potassium. To supply phosphorus, 2 level tablespoons (about an ounce or 28.4 grams) of 20% superphosphate (0-20-0) should be added. Alternatively, a slow release fertilizer and limestone will achieve the same affect.
After fertilizer and limestone are combined and blended with the primary ingredients, the media should be sifted through a piece of ½ inch wire mesh screen called hardware cloth to break any large clumps into fine pieces. Media used to germinate seeds should be sifted through a ¼ inch hardware cloth to a finer texture. Lastly, don't forget to moisten the media before sowing or planting begins. After the media has been mixed, the excess media should be stored in a watertight container such as a plastic trashcan.
Now that you have a better knowledge of the basic components and a recipe for making homemade media, you can adjust and change your mix as you see fit for your needs and situations. Keep in mind that not all bulk materials are created equal. If you choose to use a locally available source of compost or other alternative materials in your mix, you should then be aware of their nutrient contents and cleanliness. Both factors will affect the success of your plants and experimenting may result in media you consider better than commercially available media, or it may result in poor plant health and death. As the mixer and designer, you are also the one responsible for the results. Good luck and good planting.
