Stories about troubled cops or ex-cops still have a foothold in movies and TV shows -- almost to the point where you wonder why so these emotionally vulnerable men and women chose a stressful career in law enforcement in the first place. Private eyes, on the other hand, are almost an extinct species on the screen, after great media popularity in the 1950s and intermittent periods of audience demand since then. Maybe, as fantasy figures who embody power, personal integrity, and social conscience, trenchcoated PIs have been displaced and replaced by superheroes. The hero of Hal Ashby's "8 Million Ways to Die" (1986), Matt Scudder (Jeff Bridges), begins as a policeman but becomes an unlicensed, free-lance gumshoe in the course of the story. A detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, Scudder serves a warrant on a suspected drug trafficker in the opening scenes of the film. »

With 10 days left for members to vote, SAG-aftra's national election is seeing plenty of attacks as the union's two major factions denounce each other in a bid to sway the 144,000 performer members.
The minority Membership First group, headed by Esai Morales, has accused the dominant Unite for Strength of bungling the recent negotiations for a new contract, which was ratified by membership on Aug. 7 by a 76-24 margin. The union's negotiating committee was led by president Gabrielle Carteris, who's seeking re-election.
"There are over 450 scripted television programs — yet it's harder than ever for working actors to make a living or get pension and health credits … Because the contracts haven't kept up with the marketplace," Membership First said. "We do not support the new travel provisions. It's a huge give-away that obliterates decades long negotiated travel provisions that benefited performers."

In their feature films, directors Josh and Ben Safdie have always walked a fine line between fact and fiction. Not quite documentaries and not quite traditional narratives, their work takes on an air of alarming spontaneity, threatening to jump off the screen at you. Between Daddy Longlegs and Heaven Knows What, the Safdies captured a gorgeously grainy snapshot of their home city of New York, both painfully truthful and deeply impacting.
Their latest, Good Time, returns to New York City, this time bringing a pulp edge to their naturalistic aesthetic. After a botched bank robbery lands his brother Nick (Ben Safdie) in jail, Constantine (Robert Pattinson) is forced out of Queens into the city to bring his brother home, at any cost.
Our review describes Good Time as "in parts a heist movie (iconic masks included) and a chase movie, but not an homage in any sense — more an evolution, »

Scandinavian sales outfit The Yellow Affair has picked up all rights outside North America and South America on the Lena Olin vehicle "Maya Dardel."
The feature marks the directorial debut of U.S. poet/novelist Zachary Cotler who shares the directing and writing credits with Polish-born but U.S.-based Magdalena Zyzak. The duo just won best screenplay for the film earlier this month at the Prague Independent Film Festival, while Lena Olin ("Chocolat") picked up best actress.
Olin plays Maya Dardel, an internationally respected poet and novelist, living in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. One day she announces on the radio that she intends to end her life and that young male writers may compete to become the executor of her estate. They are challenged intellectually, emotionally and erotically, until one of them begins to fathom Maya's end game.

An Obie Award-winning actor before he came to Hollywood, Heard broke out in the late Seventies thanks to his role in ChillyScenes of Winter, which was followed by starring roles in 1980's Heart Beat, »

Tonight on 'movies we really want to like' we have Hal Ashby's final feature, an L.A.- based crime saga with a great cast and spirited direction and . . . and not much else. It isn't the train wreck described in Kino's candid actor interviews, but we can see only too well why it wasn't a big winner when new. Any day that a Jeff Bridges picture doesn't shine, is a dark day in my book.

There is no scissoring in "Below Her Mouth." That is about the only position missing from this 90-minute sex movie, which feels like an attempt to singlehandedly correct every misrepresentation of lesbian sex ever put onscreen. Many straight male directors have selflessly tackled the trope, including Park Chan-wook with "The Handmaiden" and Abdellatif Kechiche with "Blue is the Warmest Color." While those films have artistic merit on their side, each feature laughably acrobatic scissoring positions, which no one should attempt at home, and could only have been imagined by someone who has never actually had lesbian sex.

This five-part Truthdig series by Carrie Rickey is published in partnership with Women and Hollywood. The series considers the historic accomplishments of women behind the camera, how they got marginalized, and how they are fighting for equal employment. Specifically, this series asks, why do females make up between 33 and 50 percent of film-school graduates but account for only seven percent of working directors? What happened to the women directors in Hollywood?
While female filmmakers waited for Judge Pamela Rymer to hand down a decision in the 1983 Directors Guild class-action suit against Warner Brothers and Columbia Pictures, alleging discrimination for not hiring women and ethnic minorities represented by the guild, there were positive signs of change in Hollywood.
In 1984, for the first time that almost anyone could remember, one needed two hands to count the number of feature films by women released in the U.S. market. One was Diane Kurys' "Entre Nous" (1983), nominated for best foreign film at the Academy Awards in April 1984, making Kurys the second female director whose film was so honored.
Between 1950 and 1980, the number of movies directed by women in the Directors Guild of America (DGA) totaled 14. From 1984 to 1985 there were 12.
In 1984 many women were making their second features. Among them were Gillian Armstrong's period drama "Mrs. Soffel," Amy Heckerling's gangster comedy "Johnny Dangerously," Penelope Spheeris' teenage-runaway saga "Suburbia," and Amy Holden Jones' romantic drama "Love Letters." Martha Coolidge, beloved for "Valley Girl," her 1983 debut, was on her third feature, "National Lampoon's Joy of Sex." With more women behind the movie camera in the United States than any time since the 'teens, it seemed that Hollywood was reopening the studio gates to women. Their movies featured women in lead roles.
The wave of optimism crested in 1985. Argentine director Maria Luisa Bemberg's historical romance "Camila" (1984) was in contention for best foreign film. Susan Seidelman, an Nyu film-school grad who made a splash in 1983 with the indie "Smithereens," released "Desperately Seeking Susan," starring "It Girl" Rosanna Arquette and Madonna, cast when the latter was a relative unknown. It was a runaway hit. Heckerling and Spheeris each released third features, respectively "National Lampoon's European Vacation" and "The Boys Next Door." Coolidge released her fourth: "Real Genius," a genuinely funny nerd comedy with a fully developed female character — and special effects.
Then came the crash.
In August 1985 Judge Rymer handed down her decision. While the class-action case was important and viable, Rymer ruled, she had to disqualify the DGA from leading the class due to a conflict of interest. White male members also competing for directing jobs dominated the guild, she said. Thus the DGA was in no position to represent the interests of its women and ethnic minority members. Out of exhaustion and lack of money, the Original Six, the group of female filmmakers that had first spurred the DGA to initiate the suit, did not pursue it any further.
As the DGA suit played out during the early 1980s, Hollywood's business model was in flux. Studios abandoned the one-size-fits-all strategy of advertising a movie in general-interest publications and embraced segmented marketing — that is, making and marketing movies to a specific demographic. Fewer dollars were spent advertising movies in mainstream newspapers and more were spent on ads that ran during TV shows young males were said to watch. More and more, movies starred predominantly men and boys. Because actors had higher-profile roles, they could command higher salaries than actresses.
By dividing the market into sectors, studios divided the audience and the culture. Boys see movies about boys. Older people see movies about older people. Women see movies about women. Those in different demographics no longer watch the same stories.
In 1980, four of the 10 top box office stars were women: Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Sissy Spacek, and Barbra Streisand. In 1990 there was only one: Julia Roberts. According to 1990 statistics from the Screen Actors Guild, not only were actresses underpaid, but they were also "undercast": 14 percent of the leading roles, and only 29 percent of all roles, went to women.
The "Indiana Jones" trilogy made in the 1980s reflected the progressively diminishing role of females in film during a decade when male action/adventures dominated the multiplex. In "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), the character Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) plays Indy's helpmate. In "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984), the Willie Scott character (Kate Capshaw) is helpless. And in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," archeologist Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) is the enemy.
Despite such trends, the late 1980s and 1990s proved to be boom years for female directors in Hollywood and Indiewood, as independent film is known. In 1987, Kathryn Bigelow, a onetime sculptor and graduate of Columbia University's film program, made her second feature, the "vampire Western" "Near Dark." And though Elaine May's studio film "Ishtar" was almost universally panned upon release, it earned belated respect. Richard Brody of The New Yorker correctly described it as "an unjustly derided masterwork." In 1987, six percent of films were directed by women, higher than at any time since 1916.
The percentage dropped in 1988, but that was a watershed year for female filmmakers. "Big," a comedy from Penny Marshall (co-written by Anne Spielberg), was universally acclaimed. It was the first movie directed by a woman that surpassed $100 million at the box office. With the romantic comedy "Crossing Delancey," Joan Micklin Silver returned to making big-screen fare, and her modest hit was well received. Also in 1988, Silver's daughter, Marisa, made her second feature, "Permanent Record," about teen suicide. "Salaam, Bombay!", the first feature from Mira Nair, the India-born, Harvard-educated documentarian, was a best foreign film Oscar nominee.
The following year, "Look Who's Talking" from Amy Heckerling likewise surpassed the $100 million mark for box office sales in the U.S. and made nearly $300 million worldwide. For the most part, though, heads of studios regarded Marshall's and Heckerling's box-office smashes as flukes. Two heads of production told me in 1991 that "movies by women don't make money." Nevertheless, it turned out to be a exceptional year for the quality and range of releases from women. And it shaped up to be a year when movies by female filmmakers did make serious money.
Some of the highlights of 1991: Julie Dash's "Daughters of the Dust," an evocative portrait of generations of Gullah women off the South Carolina coast circa 1901; Jodie Foster's "Little Man Tate," about a child prodigy emotionally torn between his mother and a psychologist for gifted children; and Mira Nair's "Mississippi Masala," a sexy romance about a South Asian woman born in Uganda (played by then-newcomer Sarita Choudhry) in love with an African-American man (Denzel Washington). Both Kathryn Bigelow's action film "Point Break" and Barbra Streisand's psychological study "Prince of Tides" examined the emotional costs to men who struggle to prove their masculinity. Bigelow's movie grossed $83 million and Streisand's $110 million. (Adjusted for inflation, that's $148 million and $196 million in today's dollars.)
Not only can female filmmakers make movies that show a different side of men, but they also make movies that show different aspects of women. Penny Marshall's "A League of Their Own" (1992), about the All-American Girls Baseball Leagues during World War II, celebrates the athleticism (rather than the sexuality) of the female body. Nora Ephron's "This is My Life," her 1992 directorial debut about a single mom whose choice of comedy career affects her daughters, shows that career and motherhood need not be in conflict. Like Ephron's film, Allison Anders' "Gas Food Lodging" (also 1992) explores what happens when the children of single moms reconnect with biological fathers. Male directors were, and are not, making movies like these.
During the 1990s, almost every year brought a new evergreen made by a female filmmaker. In 1993 there were two. One was Jane Campion's "The Piano," a haunting allegory about a mute woman that struck a chord internationally. It earned $62 million at the box office and multiple Oscar nominations, including one for best director, making Campion the third woman to be cited in this category. The other was Nora Ephron's "Sleepless in Seattle," the comedic romance between two people who don't meet in person until the last scene, which scored a $227 million box office.
"Sleepless" additionally introduced the questionable concept of the "chick flick" to a broader audience. This is a non-genre that has come to be defined as any movie that, according to the term's proponents, women want to see and that men think they don't want to watch — or any movie directed by a woman. The division between "chick flick" and its corollary, the "dick flick," is a perhaps unintended consequence of target marketing, implying that movies represent a gender-linked proposition.
Almost overnight, the perception was created that movies predominantly featuring women, or "women's interests," or directed by women would shrivel the manhood of the male moviegoer. In 1994 the head of a major studio told me, without irony or shame, that "Women on the screen means no men in the audience." When I asked him for data to back up his claim, he said he had it, but it was proprietary.
Despite such signs of cultural and corporate sexism, the 1990s were a good time to be a female filmmaker. In 1994, Gillian Armstrong's "Little Women" was immediately embraced as a classic. Newcomer Darnell Martin's "I Like it Like That," an urban comedy about a working mother juggling job, marriage, and parenthood, earned positive reviews. And Rose Troche's "Go Fish," the first indie comedy about girl-on-girl courtship, marked a milestone for the burgeoning genre.
The following year, 16 films by women were in U.S. release, setting another record for that era. Many of them were comedies. There was Amy Heckerling's "Clueless," a droll version of Jane Austen's "Emma" set at a Beverly Hills high school. There is Betty Thomas' "The Brady Bunch Movie," in which the former actress sets the characters of the 1970s TV hit in the 1990s to great comic effect. Distinctly not a comedy was Kathryn Bigelow's "Strange Days," a science-fiction thriller about sex crimes, which lost money but became a cult favorite. At the 1996 Oscar ceremony, with "Antonia's Line," Dutch filmmaker Marleen Gorris became the first female filmmaker to direct the award-winning foreign film.
But apart from Bigelow and Mimi Leder, a director of episodic television who in 1997 directed "The Peacemaker" and in 1998 "Deep Impact," female filmmakers were not making action films. For the most part women made comedies and human stories, movies with no explosions in the opening scene. Veteran filmmaker Martha Coolidge spoke for many women when she noted that the scripts the studios sent her were for comedies or family dramas. "About 90 percent of what comes my way are ten different kinds of breast cancer stories, ten kinds of divorce stories, and ten kinds of women-taking-care-of-their-fathers stories," she said. "I do those. I care about those deeply. But one does want to do more."
Female filmmakers were typecast in the way many actors and actresses have been, for the most part pigeonholed in family drama and comedy genres. For example, in 1997 actress Kasi Lemmons made her directorial debut with "Eve's Bayou," a haunting family drama, and Betty Thomas returned with the Howard Stern biopic "Private Parts." In 1998, Ephron returned with the romantic comedy "You've Got Mail." Nancy Meyers, a long-time screenwriter, made her directorial debut with the family-friendly comedy "The Parent Trap," and Brenda Chapman, a Disney animator, was one of three directors on "Prince of Egypt," the animated story of Moses.
In 1999, three female filmmakers made rookie features unlike anything in American movies. Two were romantic dramas about teenage sexuality, the other an imaginative Shakespeare adaptation. Sofia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides," based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, looked at how boys look at girls, subversively turning the female gaze on the male gaze. Kimberly Peirce's "Boys Don't Cry" dramatized the life story of Teena Brandon, who changed her name and gender to become Brandon Teena and fell victim to a hate crime.
Julie Taymor, the theater director who created "The Lion King" on stage, made her movie debut with "Titus," an anachronistic version of the Shakespeare history play "Titus Andronicus," underscoring its parallels to Italy under Mussolini.
At the end of the decade — and century — of the 11,000 filmmakers working both in television and film included in the Directors Guild of America, about 2,300 were women. While women made up 21 percent of the membership, they comprised only 9 percent of the filmmakers working in movies.
Most, including Martha Lauzen, a professor at San Diego State University and the head of the Center for the Study of Women in Film and Television, naturally assumed that in the new century the needle would move toward 50/50.

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
The Lego Batman Movie won the weekend as expected, but not with nearly as much money as I had predicted, not besting the opening of The Lego Movie as expected, but instead ending up with a reasonable and not so bad $53 million. Fifty Shades Darker proved that the audience for movies based on the popular books was still great enough for it to win Friday with $21 million (to Lego Batman's $15 million) and end up second for the weekend with a strong $46.6 million. That was still almost $40 million less than the opening of the previous movie Fifty Shades of Grey, but the sequel also didn't have the benefits of Valentine's Day and a four-day holiday. Coming in »

Restore Dignity
The statistics are staggering. An estimated one in four women will be the victim of sexual assault during her college years. Campus sexual assault is a form of power-inequality violence where violence is weaponized as an instrument of power. The use of this force can vary, but the impact can have equally devastating consequences on a Survivor's health, academic career, and social stability.
Our primary focus is to create a sustainable scholarship fund with donations from University scholarship programs, alumni associations, private foundations, and crowd-funding support. We are on a mission to create a community of support centered on Survivors that is not defined by abuse, but rather on fueling opportunity, fluidity, and empowered restoration. These scholarships can take many forms such as paying for a meal plan, eliminating the need for a part-time job, providing a ninth semester, supporting housing stipends, or aiding in college transfer. The current lack of financial support to remove obstacles to education means that even the smallest scholarship will have immense impact on the life of the Survivor.
The Restore Dignity Foundation seeks to make a big impact on the lives of Survivors with small, but meaningful financial donations to ensure equal access to education. The opportunity cost lost to this country because of the interruption or termination of education as the result of power-inequality violence extends to families, breaks social bonds, and challenges the growth of our nation. The present value of small investments in a Survivor's education will not only contribute to the restoration of the fluidity of life for a single student, but also the dignity of society. As in the words of the Jewish Talmud, "He who saves a single life, saves the entire world."
Visit our website to learn more: https://www.restoredignity.com/
An achievable way to restore the dignity of Survivors and help achieve a higher education is to remove the added financial burden that accumulates due to campus sexual assault. You can make your tax-deductible donation here:

moreAn Invisible Thread tells of the life-long friendship between a busy sales executive and a disadvantaged young boy, and how both of their lives were changed by what began as one small gesture of kindness.
When Laura Schroff brushed by a young panhandler on a New York City corner one rainy afternoon, something made her stop and turn back. She took the boy to lunch at the McDonald's across the street that day. And she continued to go back, again and again for the next four years until both their lives had changed dramatically. Nearly thirty years later, that young boy, Maurice, is married and has his own family. Now he works to change the lives of disadvantaged kids, just like the boy he used to be.
An Invisible Thread is the true story of the bond between a harried sales executive and an eleven-year-old boy who seemed destined for a life of poverty. It is the heartwarming story of a friendship that has spanned three decades and brought meaning to an over-scheduled professional and hope to a hungry and desperate boy living on the streets. less

Why Surround Sound Speakers Make the Difference
By Anne Ahira
Stereo sound can be considered quality sound because it makes the most out of the 2 speakers that you have without relying on virtual effects.
Watching regular TV should be enough to accept the sound quality especially if your speakers are a good brand, but there are other people that set up larger home theaters with more sophisticated speaker setups consisting of 5 or more speakers.
At a glance, adding surround sound speakers may look like a minor upgrade to a stereo setup that sounds exceptional, but they can clearly make the difference if you look at these aspects.
The Different Surround Sound Formats
All of those logos that you see on the latest Blu-ray players and A/V receivers are surround sound formats like Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II X, Dolby Surround Sound, and other technologies.
These are similar surround sound processing technologies that are used in cinemas for a better and livelier experience. The different formats available cater to different surround sound speakers for great flexibility in making sure that the setup is optimized for the best sound quality.
Subwoofer Advantage
One of the major components of a surround sound speaker system is the subwoofer. The low frequencies that the subwoofer produces makes the bass much deeper which really shows when watching action packed movies or listening to upbeat tunes.
No matter where the subwoofer is in the room, a noticeable difference can be heard thanks to this one piece of equipment.
Room Coverage
The most basic layout of surround sound is the four speakers, one center speaker, and the subwoofer to form the 5.1 surround sound speakers setup. Usually, the speakers are laid out in such a way that listeners and movie watchers in the room hear live sound coming from every direction hence the term surround. Stereo speakers only go a single direction.
All that is needed is a good arrangement of these surround sound speakers as well as good calibration so each of the speakers have a proper setting that is relative to the listener's position. Home theaters that come with the surround sound speakers are ideal because they come with auto-calibration microphones to make setting up very easy.
Better Movie Experience
All of the latest high definition movies support 5.1 speaker setups to give a much better sounding experience than mere stereo sound.
Some movies make good use of the front and back speakers where sounds in the foreground come out from the front speakers while background noises come out from the back speakers. Turning up the volume really simulates the movie theater environment.
Surround sound speakers may only show small differences if the source doesn't know how to use them and low volumes may sound similar to stereo settings, but people that want to experience the best movies in the best audio quality possible will enjoy the benefits of surround sound speakers.
These speakers have more setup possibilities and different formats to use to make movie and video gaming experiences a lot better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grandma5 from Best Towels Ever We recently had moved into a new home and I needed new towels for 5 bathrooms, so I read numerous reviews about the Resort Towels, before purchasing. Even though I have purchased 700 gram towels before, these Resort Towels far surpass my previous purchases. They are thick, lush, and most colors as shown on site. The Honeydew is darker & richer than shown, and I love them. I ordered 5 different colors, with various colors of thread, and different monogram styles for the different colors. All were received as ordered, except a set of 2 hand towels where the monogram was supposed to be Rose, a dark rose, and they arrived with a lighter, almost salmon colored embroidery. Decided they would work OK, so kept them rather than hassle with a return. Leave it to Frontgage to pamper us.

I haven't had them long enough to know durability, but I have washed them twice. They came out just like they were brand new. The towels are so nice that my husband, whom I feared would ask WHY did I buy new towels, was wowed and wants me to order new towels for our masterbath. Now that is a miracle!! Worth the price!!! I also bought a new bath mat from this collection. It is just as fabulous! I ordered the colors "fig" and 'meadow". Very rich and beautiful. We feel so pampered...

How do the towels look after multiple wash/dry?
Many towels I own have a section where the weave is different, as in the area where you can have monogramed. It shrinks & wrinkles. Do these towels in that area look nice after multiple washings?
I had Frontgate monogram the hand towel and have washed it a few times, but haven't had a problem to this point. (I have top-load washer and typically dry on medium heat.)

My parents made my brother and me sleep in the garage. Really really hot in the summer and really really cold in winter. But we could come inside during the day and do anything play video games and watch movies and they bought us a lot of cool stuff. I told one of my friends and he was really shocked but it was just normal to me.

I live in Michigan.
Let me break it down for you.
Would I personally consider it child abuse? Yes.
Would the law? Let's look.
Were you in fact a child (under the age of 18)? If yes, let's continue.
Did they provide you with food, clothing, and shelter? Yes? Let's continue. No child abuse yet.
Did they knowingly cause physical or mental harm to you? I'm gonna go with no based on the details of your question. Ergo they did not commit child abuse in the 1st degree.
Now, it might be child abuse 2nd degree. It states that 2nd degree applies when a person The person knowingly or intentionally commits an act that is cruel to a child regardless of whether harm results.
One could argue that putting you in such extreme temperatures would be cruel even though no harm actually happened to you. But then you would have to submit them to a psychological evaluation to determine whether or not they KNOWINGLY did that. If they were not mentally sound then they could not have knowingly done so and ergo cannot be charged.
If it is determined they knowingly did so and since there was at least you and your sibling... that's no more than a 20 year felony... assuming the statute of limitations hasn't run out.10|10|0

Acne type: Moderate to moderate sever
The Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment was somewhat effective for the first several weeks that I used it. The Regimen required a smaller amount of BP to be used at first and then slowly amping up the dosage. My skin cooperated well with the small dosage of BP during the first three weeks. However, the BP started giving my skin problems the fourth week and all the time afterwards.
First of all, the BP totally dulled my skin. The BP gave my skin kind of a gray cast on my face, rather than a natural healthier glow on my skin. I wish that the BP had some sort of extra ingredient where it would "renew" the skin where the acne was to reduce scarring. This probably was due to the fact that the BP was drying even with the moisturizer I applied afterwards. My skin was not necessarily flaky...my face just looked like dead skin was laying on top of it. BP may be effective for the actual acne, but it is indeed harsh for the skin around it unfortunately. So for me personally, BP is not worth the damage.
In addition, all of my acne scars have not disappeared. I used this product for 4 months consistently. This product may prevent future breakout, but it does not clear up the skin completely.

Bobby was driving down Highway 31 on the old John Deere, the 4020 that his great grandfather had bought in the mid nineteen sixties and his grandfather still used on his farm. He was taking the bush hog to a local mechanic all the farmers used, who worked out of his barn. The bush hog was old and needed repair. Bobby's grandfather was busy with cultivating his soybeans and asked Bobby to take the bush hog for him. Bobby had left early to have time to make the thirty minute drive for Tom, the mechanic, said to be there first thing in the morning for it'd take a while to tear it down and replace the worn bearings, the u-joints of the PTO shaft and to cut out the rusted section of the body and weld in a new piece. It was warm but not hot as Bobby drove to Tom's, enjoying the feel of the early morning air against his body, the old tractor running less than 20 mph. He was dressed as he usually did when helping his grandfather on his farm. The old work boots, the light yellow faded and scuffed, stains from the red clay permanently marking the lower portion of each, the old tight jeans, worn soft and slightly frayed at the leg cuffs, the right knee ripped open and one small rip high on the inside thigh, high enough to see the white of his boxers, one of his t-shirts from some rock concert he had gone to three years ago when he first got his driver's license, the image cracked, the shirt now soft with use and each side cut out of it revealing Bobby's torso and arms, and his cap, dirty and faded from constant use, pulled down low over his eyes protecting them from the bright early morning sun that would quickly heat up the air.
Bobby arrived at Tom's and pulled around his house to the barn finding Tom already inside working on a combine. When Tom walked out Bobby watched him amble out, his tall lean frame moving gracefully, wiping his greasy hands on an old t-shirt he used as a rag. Bobby had eagerly agreed to bring the bush hog over, for there was something about Tom that made him feel weird, made his heart race in his chest and he knew it was thoughts he shouldn't have, not here in this rural place, for they were thoughts that could get you ostracized, or worse, beaten up. But Tom seemed different than the others. Bobby knew he was only five years older and had lived in the area all his life. He grew up on a farm but didn't want to farm himself, preferring to work on the equipment instead. After a few years in the community college nearby he had rented the old Harrelson place and set up shop. The local farmers knew he was good, having let him make repairs on their equipment since he was sixteen and could drive out to their fields to do them on site, so it didn't take him long to get the business he needed.
Bobby climbed down and met Tom half way, looking up, seeing his boyish features, the thin scruffy mustache and beard that only grew on his chin, the natural dark skin and dark brown hair that seemed to always need cutting, sticking out around his cap and a thick curl of it hanging down over his forehead. Tom had hazel eyes, bright cheerful friendly eyes, and Bobby struggled not to stare into them too long. Tom was wearing an old shirt unbuttoned at the top and the sleeves torn off and tight jeans, stained with grease and worn nearly through in several places the blue denim faded to white. Bobby figured Tom was six feet two or three, having seen him standing next to others he knew and he was always taller. Bobby, being only five seven, had to look up to Tom.
"Hey Bobby."
"Your grandfather told me to tear it down and put it back right, so I hope you're prepared to be here a while."
"Got all day."
Tom smiled and nodded, then looked over at the bush hog. He saw how the body was badly rusted through at one corner and rust covering most of its surface. He knew it had been well used.
"Bring it around to the back side and pull in behind the combine. Well leave it on the tractor for now."
"Okay" and Bobby got back on the tractor and pulled around and into the barn. The interior was dark since there was no overhead light, Tom utilizing shop lights wherever he was working. The work bench he had built along one wall was covered in tools, neatly arranged by type. On the wall hung belts, chains, and more tools and sitting on the floor was a welder, air compressor and other equipment Tom used in his work. The floor of the barn in the middle was dirt, powdery dry brown soil.
Bobby sat in one of the lawn chairs Tom kept in the barn while Tom went to work. He retrieved tools and helped when Tom needed it, otherwise he just sat and watched, talking with Tom about his grandfather's farm, his classes at the community college and some of the local news, but mostly he just sat quietly, watching. He watched how Tom moved, watched how his shirt rode up when he scooted out from under the bush hog and his smooth lean stomach came into view, how when Tom raised his arms he could see the sparse thin hair that grew there, and his arms that appeared to have no hair on them, the skin smooth, stretched tight over his muscles, showing the strength Tom had in his arms, and when Tom was lying on his back working on the underside of the bush hog he saw the bulge in his jeans, the way he could tell his cock was lying to the left, the denim worn soft and faded over it. Bobby tried not to stare, but he couldn't stop himself and time and time again Tom caught him, his eyes looking, lost in his thoughts.
Tom loved to work on things, take them apart, see how they functioned, repair the damage, or reset the parts, so everything worked as it should. He had taken mechanic classes at the community college, although he seemed to know more than the instructor at times. His father encouraged him to do what he wanted, and when he said he wanted to be a mechanic his father had bought him his first tools. When he finished his courses and officially advertised his services it wasn't long before he kept his father's barn occupied with other farmer's equipment till his father said he had to get his own place and helped him with the rent for the Harrelson place where he even rented the house, allowing him to live on his own.
Tom was considered the most eligible bachelor, twenty four, tall, and good looking, having his own business, it was surprising to many he wasn't married already, but what they didn't understand, what Tom couldn't tell them, was he wasn't interested. It wasn't settling down that didn't interest him, it was the opposite sex. He had known since he was ten he was different than the other boys, and he had struggled with these feelings, these desires all through school and when he had turned sixteen, having found out some things on the internet, he had sneaked off to a rest stop out on Highway 161 and sat in a stall, the door locked and listened to other men have sex. He had sat frozen in fear, glued in place by desire, listening to the sounds of men sucking cock and to the groans and moans of men getting fucked. When he was eighteen, a couple of weeks away from graduation he drove all the way down to Mobile and hung outside a gay bar, watching the men come and go until he let one guy, not much older than himself, pick him up. The guy was slightly drunk and the sex rough and fast, leaving Tom confused and unfulfilled. After graduation he began to drive up to Montgomery on some Saturday's and he finally met one, then another young man who showed him how good sex could be, how enjoyable, and he found he also enjoyed the camaraderie, their times just hanging out together, going out to eat, seeing a movie or just hanging out in one of the small bars in town. Tom thought about moving into one of the cities, but he enjoyed his life in the countryside, couldn't think of living anywhere else, so he stayed.
Tom worked on the bush hog, talking with Bobby at times, but when he was in the middle of something tedious he tended to block out everything around him. But whenever he got up to get a tool or to shift position he saw how Bobby was looking at him, the way he kept catching him staring, a couple of times he swore Bobby was looking at his crotch and it made his cock swell some to consider it. He knew Bobby all his life and also knew Bobby was considered a loner, quiet, someone who kept to himself and Tom began to wonder if there was a reason for this image. Bobby was attractive, his body muscular, having played baseball in high school. Tom couldn't help but notice the way his cut open t-shirt revealed his body, the light tanned skin, the muscular arms with their thick under arm hair and the light dusting of hair down his forearms. When Bobby had bent over to pick up a tool he had noticed, when the shirt hung loose in front of him, the tight lean stomach and the fine line of hair around his navel that ran down into his jeans. Tom felt a sexual attraction he was afraid to consider, but it excited him like he hadn't been in a while, having been so busy with work he hadn't had time to get away to Montgomery, Birmingham or Mobile. He wondered if he was imaging it all, being so horny and all, but each time he caught the look in Bobby's eyes he had to wonder.
Tom had taken most of the mechanical components apart and had them spread out on a tarp on the ground. He was working on the body of the bush hog trying to get bracket off, struggling with one of the bolts. It was rusted and locked up. No amount of lubricate would get it loose. He looked over at Bobby and realized his was probably stronger in the upper body.
"Hey Bobby."
"Come see if you can break this bolt loose. I can't get the damn thing to break."
Bobby hopped up and took the large wrench and positioned it on the bolt and got in a position he could throw his weight to hit and began to pull against it. It didn't turn.
"Damn, I knew it was rusted bad, but this is ridiculous. Can you cut it off?"
"If I have to, but I'd rather not risk damaging anything else. Let's try together. Put the wrench on it" and Tom came up behind Bobby, leaned his tall frame over him and took a hold of a section of the wrench next to Bobby's hands. As they prepared to pull Tom couldn't help it, couldn't help but lean down close and smell the masculine scent, his clean hair around his cap, and he breathed in deeply, leaned down till he was against Bobby's back, feeling Bobby's body against his own and he told himself it so he could get better purchase on the wrench. They pulled together and Tom could feel the muscular body beneath him, the way it shifted, struggled against the bolt, pressed back against him, making his heart beat faster and his skin tingle with the contact.
Bobby felt Tom against him and he struggled to stay focused on the task at hand, to pull against the wrench. He felt how Tom's tall frame seemed to envelope his body, to hug up against him, he felt the way Tom's crotch was pressed up against his ass and he just knew he could feel Tom's cock. Tom's arms rubbed against his own, the smooth skin, smeared with grease and dirt pressed hotly against him. Tom's breath came in short hot blast against his neck warming his skin and Bobby wanted Tom to do more, to lean down and press his lips against his skin, he wanted his arms to wrap around him, the hands on the wrench to let go and take him, to touch him, and he pushed back against Tom tighter, moved against him as much as he dare, feeling his heart race, his temperature soar.
Bobby was so lost to his thoughts he didn't feel the bolt turn, a little at first, just barely move, then suddenly it broke free and Tom and he fell back, Bobby on top of Tom, knocking the breath out of him and he instinctively grabbed Bobby by the waist to lift him up. Bobby felt the hands, firmly grasp his sides, dig into the flesh and he rolled off Tom.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, just caught me by surprise and got the wind knocked out of me" Tom replied, then he smiled and looked at Bobby lying on the ground, his shirt rode up to reveal his stomach, pulled over to reveal one nipple, his skin covered in dirt, his sides smeared with grease where Tom lifted him up.
"I guess we got it loose" Tom stated as he diverted his eyes back to the bush hog.
Tom worked tirelessly the rest of the morning, cutting out the rusted section and welding in a new piece, then began the process of putting it all back together. By lunch they stopped and Tom went up to his house and prepared them sandwiches brining it out to his screen porch where the two of them, all dirty and smeared with grease, sat and ate. Tom would glance over at Bobby, looking at him in the face, his bright blue eyes, the dark brown stubble showing around his chin, the long sideburns, and he noticed Bobby's hands, his fingers thick, his hands large and masculine, unlike his own that had long thin fingers, ideal for some of his work. He looked at the bare skin of Bobby's knee, the fine dark hair covering it where it was exposed through the hole, and he looked over at the dirty white fabric of the boxers exposed up near his Bobby's crotch through the small hole located there. He wanted to reach out and touch him there.
After lunch they returned to the barn and Bobby found it was getting hot inside, even though the interior was dark and shaded, for the hot humid air blew in with the slight breeze of the afternoon pushing out the cooler air. Tom went back to work and got Bobby to help him with more of the reassembly, getting him to spray primer on the body and then repaint it using a construction yellow in lieu of the original green color. They worked quietly, the heat seeming to sap their strength, sweat beginning to cover them. It didn't take Tom long to reassembly the bush hog and when he was finished Bobby was ready to do the final painting. As Bobby painted Tom put away his tools and cleaned up. Tom was at his work bench when Bobby came up behind him and held out the paint he hadn't used. Tom took it and set it back on the lower shelf and when he reached for the eye goggles one his fingers touched Bobby's and he looked up at Bobby, saw his look, his eyes looking at him questioningly, imploring him to do something and Tom took the goggles with one hand and held Bobby's hand in his other one.
"You have the most masculine hands I've ever seen" he whispered as he looked at Bobby's hand, running his finger over it, feeling the callused palm and the lines that crisscrossed it. When he looked up Bobby was looking at him intently, not moving.
"You don't need to be back to your grandfather's right away, do you?"
"No" Bobby whispered, "I've got all day."
Tom leaned over, his face moving toward Bobby's till he was a couple of inches away and he hesitated, just for a moment and Bobby closed the distance, pressing his lips to Tom's, knocking their caps off. The tension, the circling of each other most of day, all came crashing down as they held their bodies tight against each other, arms wrapped tight around the other. Tom pushed Bobby back and grabbed at his t-shirt, tugged it over his head and tossed it on the ground. He pulled his own off, not bothering with the buttons, just pulling it over his head and when he hugged Bobby to him they could feel the heat of their bodies come together, the sweat, the dirt, even the smear of grease rubbed on each other's skin as they kissed, as Tom pulled back and ran his lips over Bobby's rough stubble covered chin, around to his ear tonguing it, giving it a tug with his teeth. Tom ran his hands down and with one he held Bobby's ass as the other slide down the front of his jeans, underneath the boxer's waistband and down to his cock, feeling it get erect, harden up. Tom unfastened Bobby's jeans and as he dropped to his knees he tugged them down with his boxers, stripping him, revealing the hard muscular body. Tom grabbed Bobby's growing erection, held it up and soon had it buried in his mouth, sucking, licking, moving his lips up and down the shaft. Bobby stood in the open barn, the warm breeze hitting his exposed body and he rocked his hips back and forth, pumping his cock in Tom's mouth. His feet were still hobbled by his jeans and boxers and he held his balance by holding Tom firmly on the shoulders. Tom's mouth on his cock was hot, his sensitive cock head sliding over the slick tongue and pushing into Tom's throat made him get harder, his cock rigid, like stone. Tom ran his hands up Bobby's thighs and over his high round ass leaving a trail of dirt and grease. He probed between Bobby's cheeks, his fingers searching, teasingly moving along the place no one had ever touched before, not like this, and Bobby leaned over Tom's head, opened himself up as much as he could, giving himself to Tom. Tom found his target, rubbed his fingers over it, felt how tense, how very tight it was to his probing finger, but he pressed harder, feeling Bobby tense up above him then he felt his greasy finger slide in, penetrate Bobby, feel the inner heat of him, the soft velvety insides just past the hard tight ring of his hole. He worked one finger, then two and finally three into Bobby as he kept his mouth on Bobby's cock. He worked Bobby up, had him moaning, his hips rocking back and forth, pushing down on his fingers as he pulled his cock back, then sliding off his fingers as he drove his cock into Tom's mouth. Tom knew he had Bobby worked up, could feel his heat, hear the way he grunted and moaned, and he could see how his body was tensed up, tight, so he pulled free and stood up, looking at the glazed over look in Bobby's face.
"Do me now, Bobby" he asked in a low soft voice. Bobby looked at him and immediately eased down on his knees. He fumbled and tugged on Tom's jeans, working them open and down Tom's legs. Tom raised one foot, then the other, letting Bobby get his jeans and boxers completely off, wanting to be completely naked, wanted to expose his tall lean body to Bobby. Bobby held his cock up, half hard with excitement and took a tentative swipe at it with his tongue, then he opened his mouth and eased down on Tom's cock, taking it as far as he could, letting it fill his mouth. Tom knew it wouldn't take much, not like this, watching Bobby take his cock, his hair tickling his stomach every time Bobby took his cock. It was so hot both of them had a sheen of sweat covering them. Bobby fucked his mouth on Tom's cock, worked it back and forth through his lips, felt each inch move through his mouth. Tom held Bobby's head and worked his hips slowly, pushed his cock into Bobby till he had all of it, till it plugged his throat, cut off his air and Tom moved back only to repeat the move down into Bobby's throat, Bobby taking it each time, holding Tom's thighs for balance.
Tom wanted more and he pulled Bobby up and led him to the front of the tractor, Bobby hobbling with his jeans and boxers around his ankles, and Tom pushed him over the front tire. It was perfect the way Bobby's body curved over it, his ass turned up, open, and Tom moved up behind him, his legs straddling Bobby's and he pushed his hard wet cock against Bobby's hole, pressed against it, rubbed his cock up and down, stroking it, teasing it.
"Do it...come on Tom...do it" Bobby whispered as he looked around at Tom, his eyes lost to his desire, and Tom pressed forward, let his body weight bare down on Bobby and he watched his cock sink into Bobby's hole, stretch it open. The tight ring of Bobby's opening milked his cock as he pushed it all the way in, not stopping till his hips pressed up against Bobby's ass. Bobby moaned and rose up slightly as Tom bottomed out in his ass.
Tom began to move his hips, slowly at first, dragging his cock back and forth through Bobby's tight hole, till he felt Bobby loosen up, his tight hole open up for him and he began to fuck, to throw his hips into thrusting his cock into Bobby, burying his cock in Bobby's hole and then jerking it back, only to shove it back in, over and over and over, till he was hammering his cock into Bobby, his hips slapping against Bobby's ass, fucking him, hard, making Bobby grunt and moan as Tom took him.
Tom pulled out, stepped on Bobby's jeans and boxers and told him to step out of them. He pulled Bobby to him, felt the boy's hard cock press against him as he kissed him. He pulled Bobby over to the large rear wheel, pushed Bobby back against it. Tom leaned down, slid his arms around Bobby's thighs and lifted, bringing his legs up, spreading them, as he leaned his weight against Bobby, his back and shoulders propped against the large wheel as his ass came up, moved into position for Tom to slide his cock back in, to plunge it into Bobby and he began to fuck him again, hard and fast, holding Bobby between him and the tire. He leaned over and kissed Bobby as he fucked him, slamming his hips forward, feeling Bobby's hard cock rub against his stomach. Sweat ran in rivulets down his body as he exerted himself, worked his hips fast, pumping his cock into Bobby till he felt his muscles get tight, his body tense up and soon he felt his cock swell up, become rigid and he shoved in, slamming his body against Bobby, holding his folded up body tight as he pumped his load into him, wad after wad ejaculating deep into Bobby.
Tom worked his cock back and forth feeling the last of his load pump out, then he eased out and let Bobby's legs back down as he eased down in front of Bobby, down on his knees, his breathing labored, and he took Bobby's hard flexing cock and licked the pre-cum from the head, sucked the slick wet head, then he sucked Bobby into his mouth. He worked slowly, easing his mouth along the shaft knowing Bobby was close. He held Bobby's cock at the base, squeezed it, watch it flare up and he put the head back in his mouth and sucked, licked and tongued it till Bobby suddenly seemed to come alive and began to pump his hips, short jerky motions and soon he pumped his cum into Tom, hot thick wads filled Tom's mouth before he swallowed it, letting it slide down his throat warming his insides.
When Bobby was spent and pushed Tom's mouth off his sensitive cock Tom fell back on the ground and Bobby followed him down, lying on top of him, both still breathing hard, their bodies sweaty, covered in dirt, smeared with grease. They lay there, eyes closed, for a long time, until suddenly they felt the wind pick up, the temperature drop and there was a rumble of thunder off in the distance. Bobby rolled off Tom and they sat up looking at the back of the barn and saw the afternoon shower of rain move across the open field till it was on top of them.
"Come on" Tom said, getting up and holding his hand down for Bobby. Soon the two of them were out in the rain, letting the cool rain wash the dirt and sweat off. They rub hands over each other, kissed, and soon were horsing around, rolling on the wet ground.

- This bag is very neat, real leather, compact and the organizer does a great job of having everything accessible during a flight.
- Just right for holding a headset, iPad, and a few other items. This bag looks well made (only had it a couple weeks) and with the organizer works perfectly for my needs. The leather looks and feels nice, it has a nice synthetic bottom cover that is more non-slip and should prevent the leather from soaking up any oil if you set it down where there has been some oil leaked/spilled. A draw string on the water bottle holder might have been a good idea but it hasn't been an issue for me so far. The only other thing I might wish for is that the iPad pocket were accessible without unsnapping the handles.
- Pros: Good looking leather, just the right size
- Cons: If you like to carry a fuel tester there isn't a good spot for that

FIVE Pillars,
Our Mission
is to provide quality, compassionate health care in a dignified environment while also addressing the root causes of illness, poverty, violence, and neglect.
Village Health Works brings hope to Burundi through a holistic model. In partnership with community members, we focus first on treating and preventing illness through primary health care services. We then integrate education, sustainable agriculture, and economic development programs.
Our campus in Kigutu - the heart of our operations - is home to a primary health care clinic, pre-school, and demonstration gardens, and through outreach we provide services throughout 18 surrounding communities. Our comprehensive programs serve more than 200,000 men, women and children.
Burundi's health care statistics are staggering -
A Burundian woman has a 1 in 23 lifetime risk of dying in childbirth;
and 54 out of 1,000 babies will die before they reach their first birthday.
There is great opportunity for impact in Burundi and Village Health Works is uniquely positioned to act.
Our cornerstone program in Kigutu is a comprehensive community health clinic. The services we provide include primary care, maternal and child health, mental health, the prevention and treatment of HIV, TB, malaria and other infectious diseases, and a growing non-communicable disease program. Our clinic has responded to local needs over time and now includes four inpatient wards, including one dedicated primarily to severe pediatric malnutrition.
High-quality education is the foundation to improve people's lives and alleviate poverty. Through our education program, we strengthen young people's access to pre-primary and primary education, develop teachers' skills through a training program in coordination with area schools, and empower parents to take an active role in their children's education and academic success.
Burundi has the distinction of being the hungriest country in the world and malnutrition is one of the most prevalent diseases in rural Burundi.
In response to community needs, our agriculture program has evolved from nutrition education and seed distribution to include community outreach events, training, livestock management, and environmental protection. Community members manage on-site gardens and livestock shelters, grow community gardens, and take part in agricultural and livestock cooperatives.
These initiatives produce food and economic opportunity for the community, and also strengthen community knowledge of the connections between food, nutrition, and health.
Economic Development
Village Health Works provides training for vulnerable community members—in particular women who have experienced gender-based violence. Cooperatives in weaving, sewing, soap-making, and baking provide community members with a source of income and economic empowerment, while offering a safe space for camaraderie and friendship.
Community Engagement
Village Health Works and our Kigutu campus have grown rapidly with the support and enthusiasm of the community we serve. We learn continually from each other and work in close partnership to develop and implement programs that meet community needs. Through outreach, leadership development, music and the arts, we foster creative expression, educate fellow community members, and strengthen community connections.
