Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 47
Adjacent Routes
The main groove is taken on excellent jams to the overhang and an awkward rest. Ape leftward (the tall can bridge it) to gain a square-cut groove. Up this to finish.
The main groove is easier to layback than to jam. And the top of the corner is a good rest - I know, I was there for 20 minutes when doing Nelson's Nemesis! Every bit as good as the latter route, interest is sustained to the top.
Think about gear placement under roof as rope drag can be significant. Route at top seemed to be back right - not straight up. Probably only worth Severe 4a - but a hard one.
it is wery polished at the start but things ease with hight. P.S there is no rests
Sorry watson, there most certainly is a rest, as I said I used it at some length. In fact you can see it in Rob's photo.
My comment re: gear under roof was because I, like Simon, spent an awfully long time on the 'rest' failing to put a bit of gear in to protect the traverse..in the end I gave up and all was fine - but I still got a lot of drag on the rope...So I must back up Simon's comments re: 'rest' (assuming you can balance)
Enjoyed this route, a lot, so there.
Fantastic route, really enjoyed it! It's got everything - a layback (I agree that it's more of a layback than a jamming crack), small ledges, big reaches, slab finish (we managed to finish straight up).
Almost every bit as good as Nemesis - a great step left under the roof. I would recommend (as with the above comments) laybacking and not jamming, as there's plenty to use if you put a little distance between you and the crack.

FTP: Free Clients and Alternative Connection Methods
FTP (File Transfer Protocols) is probably the most generally used approach when it comes down to multiple (or massive) file transfers over the the internet. Whether it's a paid FTP software or a free one, the ultimate goal is to have a stable software to perform file transfer over the Internet efficiently and secure. FTP applications on the internet varies from functions, some (most) comes with resume capability, some does reporting after transmission, some supports SFTP, etc.
If you are using paid FTP softwares (I'm using Transmit) you should also be alert or at least keep few of the free ones in bookmark; just in case your primary FTP prog fails on critical situation. Here are some of the most commonly use free FTP applications and some alternative methods you can transfer files via FTP without any application.

A new Boeing joins Turkish Airlines' fleet
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Boeing and Turkish Airlines celebrated the Turkish flag-carrier's 75th direct delivery of a Next-Generation 737 airplane.
The 737-800 arrived at Turkish Airlines' base at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport on Saturday and is the latest addition to the Southern European carrier's growing fleet of more than 100 Boeing airplanes.
The Next-Generation 737-800 forms the largest component of Turkish Airlines' single-aisle fleet, which is also complemented by Next-Generation 737-700s and 737-900ERs (Extended Range). The 737-800 is the best-selling version of the highly successful Next-Generation 737 family and currently the most technologically advanced airplane in the single-aisle market. This latest delivery comes just weeks after Boeing celebrated the 8,000th 737 delivery.
"Turkish Airlines' short-haul fleet is built upon the impressive economics, reliability and comfort of the Next-Generation 737 family," said Todd Nelp, vice president of European Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "This delivery marks a significant milestone in the strong relationship between our two companies that spans half a century. We look forward to marking the next 75 737 deliveries with Turkish Airlines, which will include our latest and most advanced single-aisle offering, the 737 MAX."
Turkish Airlines' latest 737-800 also features some of the first galleys manufactured by Turkish Cabin Interiors (TCI). TCI is the first Turkish aerospace company to design, manufacture and certify products for the commercial aviation market, paving the way for the ongoing development of aerospace capabilities in Turkey.
Last year, Turkish Airlines reaffirmed its commitment to the 737 family by ordering 40 737 MAX 8s, 10 737 MAX 9s and 20 Next-Generation 737-800s, valued at $6.9 billion at list prices. The order was the largest Boeing order in Turkish Airlines' history.
Turkish Airlines currently serves 247 cities in 106 countries around the world. Currently operating more than 100 Boeing airplanes, including Next-Generation 737s and 777-300ERs (Extended Range), Turkish Airlines has nearly 100 airplanes on order from Boeing.

Man, how you gonna make me tap into my hard drive when my RAM has been shott for years? Way too much happens in my life on an hourly basis to allow for any organized recall at a later date. Swear I've been rolling blank tape since the last time 18" inseam shorts were in style.
Let's see...PB&J will be very pleased my first concerto was in the presence of Kris Kross. Then it evolved to the annual Steve Miller Band until our entourage realized it was the same playlist in the same order. My first mosh pit was for the Sex Pistols' reunion tour. Gnarl. Saw Rage/Metallica/Fatboy Slim on a three-peat at Woodstock '99 when we paid a security guard $20 each after driving straight to Rome, NY from Boston after seeing sweaty wahines swarming Fred Durst on plywood that afternoon on PPV.
Chili Peppers opened by Foo Fighters before the Grohl explosion. Awesome. Method Man/Redman. Long Beach Dub All-Stars in 2k1 then Sublime w/Rome in 2010. Pearl Jam, Allman Bros., DMB 14x (chick Mecca) which is further qualified by once being opened by Beck who sang a Sprice Girls ballad, Poison/Warrant/Quiet Riot in 2k1 which was the jump off but I'd trade all of that to have seen Dee Snider & Co. play We're Not Gonna Take It just once.
You're testing me now...yeah, so Roger Waters solo in 2000 was the regime. Had an invite to GnR in '03 but blew off the Stage 5 Clinger for purpose of self-preservation. 311 at least once, maybe more. Austin City Limits all 3 days in 2k9 which was highlighted by Ghostland Observatory and honestly, the pain of seeing Kings of Leon was a fair trade for how spirited the girl was later that night. Happy to say no boy bands or NICKELBACK at any point, not even for a chick. Some things are just over the top.
I'm pretty sure Jethro Tull is in there somewhere and if not then I only believe so out of denial that I didn't see a band I was into for so long. Billy Joel was very good. Rancid and a host of other punk bands that are a mental mosaic at this point. The Toadies in downtown Dallas on St. Patrick's Day is so high up there just on their pure value not to mention the way the wahines were treating us Northmen that day. All-time team.
Butthole Surfers and a few other bands to be named later that rocked with them. I think Ozzie is in there somewhere. Jane's Addiction. Circle Jerks. G Love. Rob Zombie (sick). A schittload of rap/hip-hop that I can't quite place at the moment. Aerosmith. Journey. Tool, I think.
A lot of festivals. A lot. Some acts already named. Every good country artist at least 3x and that ranges from popular all the way to Texas country seeing Pat Green in a very small venue twice.
I've been to too many shows, brahs. It was my thing to do for a long time. I'm way too in the moment to think back so far like you guys do. I don't know how you do it. All I can see is the next set coming in and what my next high-protein meal is going to be. Not arenas and lawns I charged victorious in years past.
Stopped going to many shows about 5 or so years ago and now I just go to a lot of games. Playoff games and big games. Sporting events are my bag these days. Even started recently going to lifestyle events like the sick surf comp/festival the last 3 days.

1ST concert was Devo in 1979 - the band started 2 1/2 hours late. So they decided to play every song they had recorded up until then, and then some. We got to talk to the band after the show, it was at Rhode Island College with maybe 7-800 people there.
Loudest was easily Frank Zappa, My ears rang for two days after.
The cleanest playing and clearest P.A. system was Eric Clapton, for some reason he had Phil Collins on drum for that tour thru New England.
Also have seen...
Robert Plant
John Cougar
Eddie Money
John Hiatt
Robert Cray Band
Plus a lot of the smaller venues around Southern New England.
Someone mentioned The Plasmastics - the most underrated Punk Band of the era.
R.I.P Wendy O. Williams
1st concert was 1976: Kansas on their Leftoverture tour. I was a little kid sitting on my brothers shoulders, but I remember they were so damn good.
Billy Idol on the Rebel yell tour in 1983. Billy at his most awesome. Front row and I was right under Steve Stevens guitar.
Saw the B-52's in 83 on their Whammy tour. That one kinda sucked. Sounded lip synched and just too electronic for live (dancing to their records in the bars was much better)
Saw TSOL in 84 on their Change Today tour. They were pre "goth" and super creepy...kinda like going to see a fledgling punk version of KISS. Surprisingly good...especially for punk musicians. Every song was in the same key, but they were relatively well crafted, vocals were outstanding and stage presence was impressive.
Best concert, though, was Steve Morse Band supporting their "Coast to Coast" album in 1992. Steve's so f*cking amazing, he casts a spell over the audience with just his stage presence, then his intricate/classically composed country fried rock arrangements and virtuosity kill you.
Close runner-up would be Vital Information with Frank Gambale in 1991. Frank's sweeping guitar technique is unprecedented, so ungodly technical and smooth, I sat motionless for hours with my eyes glued to his fingers and my jaw on the ground.

Boulder CO (SPX) Nov 18, 2007
A NASA satellite designed, built and controlled by the University of Colorado at Boulder is expected to help scientists resolve wide-ranging predictions about the coming solar cycle peak in 2012 and its influence on Earth's warming climate, according to the chief scientist on the project.
Senior Research Associate Tom Woods of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics said the brightening of the sun as it approaches its next solar cycle maximum will have regional climatic impacts on Earth. While some scientists predict the next solar cycle -- expected to start in 2008 -- will be significantly weaker than the present one, others are forecasting an increase of up to 40 percent in the sun's activity, said Woods.
Woods is the principal investigator on NASA's $88 million Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment, or SORCE, mission, launched in 2003 to study how and why variations in the sun affect Earth's atmosphere and climate. In August, NASA extended the SORCE mission through 2012. The extension provides roughly $18 million to LASP, which controls SORCE from campus by uploading commands and downloading data three times daily to the Space Technology Building in the CU Research Park.
Solar cycles, which span an average of 11 years, are driven by the amount and size of sunspots present on the sun's surface, which modulate brightness from the X-ray to infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The current solar cycle peaked in 2002.
Solar activity alters interactions between Earth's surface and its atmosphere, which drive global circulation patterns, said Woods. While warming on Earth from increased solar brightness is modest compared to the natural effects of volcanic eruptions, cyclical weather patterns like El Nino or human emissions of greenhouse gases, regional temperature changes can vary by a factor of eight.
During the most recent solar maximum, for example, the global mean temperature rise on Earth due to solar-brightness increases was only about 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit, said Woods. But parts of the central United States warmed by 0.7 degrees F, and a region off the coast of California even cooled slightly. A paper on the coming decade of solar activity by Woods and Judith Lean of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., was published online Oct. 30 in the scientific newsletter, Eos.
"It was very important to the climate change community that SORCE was extended, because it allows us to continue charting the solar irradiance record in a number of wavelengths without interruption," Woods said. "Even relatively small changes in solar output can significantly affect Earth because of the amplifying affect in how the atmosphere responds to solar changes."
With mounting concern over the alteration of Earth's surface and atmosphere by humans, it is increasingly important to understand natural "forcings" on the sun-Earth system that impact both climate and space weather, said Woods. Such natural forcing includes heat from the sun's radiation that causes saltwater and freshwater evaporation and drives Earth's water cycle.
Increases in UV radiation from the sun also heat up the stratosphere -- located from 10 miles to 30 miles above Earth -- which can cause significant changes in atmospheric circulation patterns over the planet, affecting Earth's weather and climate, he said. "We will never fully understand the human impact on Earth and its atmosphere unless we first establish the natural effects of solar variability."
SORCE also is helping scientists better understand violent space weather episodes triggered by solar flares and coronal mass ejections that affect the upper atmosphere and are more prevalent in solar maximum and declining solar cycle phases, said Woods. The severe "Halloween Storms" in October and November 2003 disrupted GPS navigation and communications, causing extensive and costly rerouting of commercial "over-the-poles" jet flights to lower latitudes, he said.
Woods also is the principal investigator on a $30 million instrument known as the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment, or EVE, one of three solar instruments slated for launch on NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory in December 2008. Designed and built at LASP and delivered to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland last September, EVE will measure precise changes in the sun's UV brightness, providing space weather forecasters with early warnings of potential communications and navigation outages.
About one-third of the annual SORCE budget goes for commanding and controlling the satellite, roughly one-third for producing public data sets and one-third for analyzing how and why the sun is changing, he said. "CU-Boulder students are our lifeblood," said Woods. "They are involved in all aspects of the SORCE mission, from uploading commands to the spacecraft to analyzing data."

The Pirate Bay has decided to take virtual asylum in North Korea, a country with a tyrannical leader who permits very few civil liberties to those that live there.
The Pirate Bay is an organization with a long history of facing prosecution for its role in helping people commit acts of piracy via torrent files, and it's not been easy for it to find willing hosts to keep its website online. Last week, Sweden booted the organization from the country. And until recently, the Norwegian Pirate Party had been supplying bandwidth to keep the site running, but it has since caved to legal pressure from several major media companies that were threatening copyright violation lawsuits. However, the site is still up and running, and now we're hearing who's allegedly helping out.
Today, Pirate Bay leaders confirmed that North Korea was now being operated/accessed by servers located within North Korea — a move the group calls "truly an ironic situation."
The organization also seems to ignore North Korea's views on personal freedoms. In an official statement, the group writes:
"We believe that being offered our virtual asylum in Korea is a first step of this country's changing view of access to information. It's a country opening up and one thing is sure, they do not care about threats like others do. In that way, TPB and Korea might have a special bond. We will do our best to influence the Korean leaders to also let their own population use our service, and to make sure that we can help improve the situation in any way we can. When someone is reaching out to make things better, it's also ones duty to grab their hand."
The move is interesting because, unlike most of the other countries The Pirate Bay has sought asylum in — North Korea doesn't have very many friends. World governments don't like the country for a variety of reasons, with the most glaring issue being its testing of nuclear weapons. Human rights groups don't like country because of the aforementioned lack of civil liberties and its tyranny its citizens face. And now, it seems Hollywood has a new reason to hate North Korea.
At the same time, the very idea that North Korea would have the resources necessary to host The Pirate Bay is a bit of a stretch. The entire "confirmation" on the organization's blog could be just another elaborate joke. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. Why not get your biggest political opponents (Hollywood) to start targeting a country that has a horrible track record for Internet freedom?
Also, several people have already pointed out that The Pirate Bay is actually being hosted in Germany, but made to look like its coming from North Korea.

New Gay Porn Review: Boys Pee Pee
- Posted by: justusboys
- May 26th, 2011

- Tweet Share
It's all about twinks and watersports at Boys Pee Pee and it got off to a great start back in 2010, but has slowed down a bit this year; things are not flowing as well as they were. But you've still got a horny set of videos to buy into and some neat pics, and a lovely set of Eastern European twinks in bareback, hardcore and watersports videos.
Let's take that apart a little and look at the details. The first video here is dated 1st September 2010, there then follows some daily updates for 12 days and then we jump forward to January 2011, since when there have only been six updates. So I am not 100% sure what's going on here, but I can tell you that the home page announces that there is another update due in a week, and another one week after that.
But meanwhile, whether the updates happen or not (and I am pretty sure that they will) you have a set of 18 movies and galleries that are actually pretty stunning. The boys are what make these movies really work, not so much the watersports action as that tends to be rather limited. But these guys are youthful and fresh, new and, as far as I know, exclusive to the company behind the site. This company, I think based in Estonia, have a few other sites out now and the boys also appear in them, (Under Construction Boys for example), but otherwise, I've never seen them before.

Updated Gay Porn Review: Broke Straight Boys
- Posted by: justusboys

It's always been one of my favorite sites, but since its recent re-vamp, I'd not had a chance to get back in and take a look at the all new Broke Straight Boys. This is one of, if not the, first site of its kind and since it started up it has been much copied but never equaled. So how does the new look fare? Are we in for more and better?
Well, there are some great promises: new boys, a new production team, more outdoor locations, improved pictures and, if possible, improved videos. Once inside, there is still a feel of the old look site about it, which is good to see retained, but there is also something… different. Something slightly more sleek and chic, something I can't quite put my finger on. But what I can definitely point out is that it looks good, it's easy to use, it works well and at the heart of it all are some totally load blowing straight boys.
And the fun continues… The promise is all about tricking horny straight guys into gay sex, and it always has been. The further they go the more they are paid. One of my all time favorite scenes is still the very first one, dated April 2006 with Alex and Chris. I've still got the copy I made back then. And, like back then, you can still stream and download in a choice of players and qualities. You get really well looked after technically and will have no trouble getting to view the videos. You may need to set aside a couple of months to do this (go for a long membership) as there are now over 530 scenes to view, and they all run for a good length of time. What is also impressive about this site is that a new update comes along more or less every two or three days. I mean, someone is working really hard out there, finding and filming horny straight (and straight looking) boys and getting them to do stuff for the cams.

New Gay Porn Review: Cum To My Ass
- Posted by: justusboys
- May 17th, 2011

- Tweet Share
You are being offered exclusive content here, with young sexy guys, lots of updates and of course, lots of jizz. Cum To My Ass is all about cum obsessed boys and bareback sex, with lush creampie action thrown in. You find sexy twinks, hung boys, smooth boys and plenty of tight bareback asses in here, and it's also a place that you can send in your own pics to. All looks good so far.
Mind you, no one had sent in any self pics when I visited the site, but the updates to the exclusive content list had been happening. There were 19 scenes when I called in and these dated back only five months, so I guess that's an upload rate of one new scene every week, roughly. The dates on the sample info and pics on the index pages bore this out too, so that's all fine then.
As for actually viewing the scene, will you've got good choices here. For a start there is a default Flash stream that comes in as a high resolution version with the option for a 'normal' view too. And you have downloads for WMV in two resolutions as well, and good quality products at the end of the download. There is your standard, hand held filming, up close moments especially when you get to the jizz play, creampies and condom-free anal, and general all round well made movies. The stars are sexy young twinks and smoothies, from Eastern Europe, and these boys are all nicely varied, even if they tend to be all smooth. They are pretty well hung and pretty too, so a nice line up of models, though not a lot of info about each one.

New Gay Porn Review: Fraternity X
- Posted by: justusboys

It's new, it's got a great atmosphere, it's got great looking boys, and hot sex, it's small but it's got promise and it's called Fraternity X. What's it all about? Well…
There is this group of guys, frat boys, who are trying to put themselves through college and they live just outside of Phoenix. They go to Arizona State University and they need some cash. So what do they do? The start a website, but no ordinary website. They film themselves having wild gay parties and then they post these on the site in the members' area and you sign up to view them. Every now and then (it's hard to say exactly when), they put up a new scene and you can then stream it online or play it on your iPad, iPhone etc. There will be some pics with this new scene and a description.
It's new and it's fresh and it's actually very good and addictive, so be prepared; once you join you're going to want to stay as a member to look out for any new scenes. It's also proving to be really popular so we're looking forward to more of these exclusive and hot episodes. I love it, and I simply can't wait for it to get bigger and better. Although it's just fine as it is, there are some ways in which I would like to see it grow.
For example: at the moment the Flash stream is around 600kbps, and that's your only choice. It was fine for me on my mid-range connection but slower ones might suffer, and higher ones could well support a better resolution. And downloads would be good too. I know the guys want to keep their membership and don't want people rushing in taking it all and then not staying as members, but a couple of download option would make me want to stay longer – so I can download more when things get updated.

New Gay Porn Review: Bisex Digital

So what's new and hot at Bisex Digital these days? Well, everything really. They give us an update promise of something new every day, so by the time you read this there will be more on the site than I found when I had fun with it. It's all about MMF bisex sex here in DVD quality movies that you can stream or download, and it's all good quality, easy to access and one of those 'must see' sites for all bisex fans. Actually, even if you're not sure about bisex sex then the guys who get it on while the girls watch (and join in) are hot enough to tempt you inside.
You can see what you are getting from the tour as the tour pages are the same as the members' area, so there is nothing hidden here, and you're not going to be in for any nasty surprises. You are, though, going to be in for some pretty hot movies, exclusives, galleries and screen caps, and over 236 movies so far, taken from 63 DVDs. These are movies from US Male, a big player in the porn biz and one that has a good name and reputation, so there should be no worries about quality.
The only problem really is where to start. If you're swayed by sexy guys then you're going to have real problem deciding on who you want to see first. The box shot covers are nice and big and clear and so you get all manner of pics of hot men to drool over. If you like younger and twink-like, then you'll do ok, if you like older and toned, butch and masculine than you're in for a treat too. If you like your girls sexy and leggy, horny and cute, then you're also on to a you know you want to see high quality bisex porn, well then, you might need to use the search and sort options.

New Gay Porn Review: Rub Him
- Posted by: justusboys
- April 11th, 2011
- No Comments
- Tweet Share
Massage porn is the latest craze it seems. Recently I've been looking at quite a few new and upcoming sites that take the erotic art of massage to the extreme, and Rub Him is one of the more recent to join the list. It's a whole new genre of its own, and it's a pretty heady one that combines erotica in the good old fashion sense of the word, and hardcore porn, You've got plenty of oiling going on, lots of fantasy material, great looking guys, and some of the hottest massage sex scenes currently hitting the web-waves.
Rub Him loaded up its first video in January of this year, so you have a chance to get on the bandwagon of something new and still relatively unique. It's got a simple promise that works really well: A masseur sets up his table, average, amateur, ordinary looking sexy guys come along for a rub down and get a lot more than that. Sometimes they get their internals from the hunky masseur, sometimes it's the other way around. Sometimes the guy on the table is butch and beefy and straight, and sometimes he's cute and 'country.' But every time you get a good, long, slow, sensuous build up, a great atmosphere, good filming and quality, and then slow and sexy hand jobs, to oral, to full on ass banging in each of the exclusive movies.
You can check what's new on the homepage where each scene is sampled with a large sample shot and a good write up to set the background and the mood. There's also a page for Updates, but at the moment both pages hold the same amount of scenes, eight in total. But eight long scenes of over half and hour each. Viewing is all done by streaming, I didn't see any downloads, and there is only one choice for this stream too. Faster connections will do better here as it's a good high resolution and thus slower buffering for slower speeds. But you can always start a stream, put in on pause and then come back later when it's ready to roll.

New Gay Porn Review: Thug Hunter

Here's something new and fresh, exciting and not to be missed. Thug Hunter is a new site that puts a different twist on interracial sex. You may have seen other sites where the big beefy black boys go out and find skinny white ass to play with, well here it's the other way around. Except no one is skinny. The main white guys go out and find horny black ass to play with, and they do more than play, let me tell you. You've got a neat mix of realism, reality shows even, with horny gay interracial sex, chats, persuasions, and build-ups to each unique story, there are good quality movies and a stock of good quality galleries to go with them.
And, as I am here to save you money, let me also tell you that you're going to want to get either the monthly membership or the full one year, non-recurring one. That's your cheapest option, and this doesn't look like a site that's going to let you down, so it's a safe one too. You can take the two day trial by all means, but watch out for the recurring fee if you don't cancel. Having seen the work from the company behind Thug Hunter in action on other sites, I'm pretty satisfied that you're not going to be let down here.
There are nine scenes so far, because the site has only been up and running a couple of months, but these are full length scenes that come with screen cap galleries, full digital galleries, full scenes and scenes in clips to stream. I didn't see any downloading and there was only one choice of player. That's at the moment, there may be developments in the future and there's a drop-down for your Flash quality that says 'madman', and it's a pretty high resolution. Perhaps they will be adding more over time. I also noticed that the updates were a little bit here and there; three in January, none in February but three in March, for example. Just a little something to keep an eye on.

Updated Gay Porn Review: Dirk Yates

You may have heard of Dirk Yates. He's been making gay films for right on 30 years, and is known for his hard-man, military sex movies that we all love to see. He became somewhat infamous in 1993 when news broke that real Marines from Camp Pendleton had been appearing in his Private Collection, and since then he's been busy stetting up All World Videos, working with Jerry Douglas, Wash West and Chi Chi LaRue, among other famous directors of top quality porn.
So, here at his site you've got his collection. You could rush out and buy these hot numbers in the stores, but it would cost you an arm and a leg to get them all, while by becoming a member of his site you can get them all for a well priced monthly membership. But what exactly do you get when you enlist in this military porn academy? Well, that's why I am here to tell you.
To start with you have 12 categories to browse through in a left menu; plus a top menu to take you directly to the titles and the shows; you see, Dirk also has a live show site, Dirk Yates Live, and you, as a member, get to access the archived performances. In those other categories, and menu items, you also find the famous Private collection, the Top Brass series, Few Proud Naked, other series plus bisexual and straight porn that Dirk has been involved with. You've got a great stock of content, there is plenty of it and you're going to need a long time to see it all.

New Gay Porn Review: Buenos Boys

If you want to see something new, fresh and honest that's all about boys from Argentina, or if you simply want some sexy young Latin guys to get off with, then Buenos Boys is going to be right up your street, or your boulevard, your wide open avenue that leads to the Pink Palace and which is lined with some of the sexiest youths that South America has on offer.
I say 'honest' because I read the About page before I started my adventure and was very impressed with the story and the way it was written. Here's a guy who knows what you like and has gone out of his way to find it for you. And it's all about soft and sexy, dreamy and erotic Latino guys who are new and amateur. There's nothing sleazy about any of this, it's all high class and well put together; from the site design to the productions you're looking at quality here.
Enter the members' area and you will be surprised not to find 'Movies' or 'Galleries' listed, the site is model-led. Click the Models tab to start finding the content and you get a page of clear, large and well taken portraits, no nudity… yet. 40 handsome young men smile out at you, they are clean and bright, tanned and seductive looking, and all of them are smooth and muscled, but not overly so. You can sort these guys by name or date, a sort by age might be handy too, but it's easy to scroll down and see them all. What's not so easy is to decide who to get to know first.

The holidays are one of the busiest times of year for the North Texas Food Bank. Its a time when the organization needs volunteers the most. One man sees volunteering there as his personal obligation year round, no matter what.
For the last four and a half years, Mike Snider has run a tight ship at the North Texas Food Bank.
"You can not sit down," said Snider. "You have to work hard."
When he started volunteering at the North Texas Food Bank it was only supposed to be for a month.
"I was looking for somewhere to volunteer after Katrina and I looked up on the Internet and found this place," said Snider. "And I been here ever since."
From moving pallets of boxes to packing them up for hungry North Texans during the holiday season, there's nowhere else Snider would rather spend his retirement years. Especially now.
"There was a time when we didn't think he'd be able to do that again," said Snider's wife Pam.
Just a year and a half ago, Snider had a stroke.
"He got us and went to the bathroom," said Pam. "Said his eyes were stinging and when he came back he couldn't talk right. He had to sit down, he couldn't walk."
"My eyelid was affected, my mouth, my hands, my leg," said Snider. "You could draw a line down my body and I was paralyzed on the right side."
"He could have given up and said he wasn't going to do anything, but sit at home and watch TV," said Pam.
But he didn't. Snider actually talked his doctor into using his volunteer work at the Food Bank as his physical therapy to rehab from the stroke.
"I just think if I keep working at it I can help people and so I do it," said Snider.
Snider said it was difficult at first.
"I didn't have the balance, but now I can lift pretty much any box in the place," said Snider.
For him, coming face to face with someone he's helped, makes it all worthwhile.
"She said, 'What do you do?' and I described what I did and she said, 'You feed me,'" Snider said.
He keeps going, he said, because he knows his struggle will help others who are struggling too.
"If you don't use it, you lose it," said Snider.
"I'm very proud of him," said Pam. "Very proud."
The North Texas Food Bank said they always need more volunteers. For more information go to their website www.ntfb.org.

Jeopardy/termination assessments of tax are to be used sparingly. They are to be reasonable, appropriate, and limited to amounts which can be expected to protect the government.
All jeopardy/termination assessments have a common characteristic: prior to assessment, a determination is made that collection will be endangered if regular assessment and collection procedures are followed.
The mere fact that a taxpayer is the subject of a special fraud investigation is not sufficient grounds for a jeopardy/termination assessment. When it is determined that a taxpayer has little or no assets to offset the assessment, jeopardy/termination assessments will generally not be pursued.
Each jeopardy/termination assessment must receive the personal approval of the Area Director. Policy Statement 4-88, IRM 126.96.36.199.27, and Policy Statement 4-89, IRM 18.104.22.168.28, Delegation Order No. 4–21 (Formerly 219), IRM Exhibit 1.22-1, Delegation Orders by Process, as revised. In addition, the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 requires written approval by Chief Counsel (or such delegate).
In any case which might cause serious inconvenience to the general public, the Director, Examination must be notified. If necessary, the Director, Examination will notify the Commissioner, Small Business Self-Employed (SB/SE). Examples of such cases include those involving banks, newspapers, insurance companies, hospitals, and public utility companies.
The Area Director may request advice in any jeopardy/termination assessment situation from the field, Counsel, or another function.
The Area Director must exclude himself or herself from personal involvement in cases in the following situations:
He or she has had access to grand jury information.
He or she has reasonable cause.
He or she would be restricted by the rules of conduct applicable to government, executive branch and Treasury employees.
He or she has a conflict of interest as noted in Delegation Order 4–21.
If the Area Director has excluded himself or herself from personal involvement, the following officials are delegated the authority to personally approve a jeopardy/termination in the order prescribed below:
Field Territory Manager
Special Agent In Charge, Criminal Investigation
Director, Employee Plans
Director, Exempt Organizations
The authority of the Chief Counsel to approve a jeopardy/termination has been delegated to Associate Area Counsel. Contact Counsel for assistance in obtaining written approval. See Chief Counsel Decision Memorandum (CCDM) 220.127.116.11.3.1, Subject Matter Responsibility and Functions.
A jeopardy/termination assessment is defined as a jeopardy, termination, possessor of cash jeopardy, or possessor of cash termination assessment.
If the assessment or collection of a deficiency will be jeopardized by delay, the deficiency is immediately assessed. The deficiency includes additional amounts, additions to tax, and interest. The assessment is made for a PRIOR YEAR where the filing date, including extensions, has passed. The legal authority for jeopardy assessments are as follows:
IRC 6861 for income, estate, gift, and certain excise taxes.
IRC 6862 for taxes other than income, estate, gift, and certain excise taxes.
If the assessment or collection of a deficiency will be jeopardized by delay, the deficiency is immediately assessed. The deficiency may include additional amounts, additions to tax, and interest. The deficiency may be computed for a short period or the entire year. The assessment is made for the CURRENT YEAR or the preceding year if the filing date, including extensions, has not passed. The legal authority for termination assessments are as follows:
IRC 6851 for income tax.
IRC 6867 for "Possessor of Cash"
If an individual, in physical possession of cash or its equivalent in excess of $10,000, does not claim the cash as his or hers or as belonging to another person who can be easily identified and who acknowledges ownership of the cash, for the purposes of IRC 6851 and IRC 6861, it is presumed that:
The cash represents gross income of a single individual for the taxable year in which the possession occurs; and
The collection of tax is presumed to be jeopardized by delay.
All territory functions should be alert for conditions where a jeopardy/termination assessment may be necessary to protect the government's interest.
Examination is responsible for recommending jeopardy/termination assessments in cases under their active consideration.
Appeals may forward a report to Examination, on a case pending before Appeals, for Examination to determine if a jeopardy/termination situation exists. Examination will limit its investigation to a determination that collection of the currently proposed deficiency will be endangered if regular assessment and collection procedures are followed. Appeals is responsible for making the final determination of the tax liability.
Collection is responsible for recommending jeopardy/termination assessments in any case in which collection of the tax would be jeopardized by delay, except those cases under active consideration by Examination, Criminal Investigation (CI) or Tax Exempt and Governmental Entities (TE/GE).
If Collection receives information on cases under active consideration by another territory function, the field territory manager should report such information by memorandum to the affected territory function.
CI is responsible for recommending jeopardy/termination assessments in cases under active consideration or joint active consideration by Cl and Examination, CI and Collection, or CI and TE/GE.
If CI receives information on cases under active consideration by another territory function, the CI special agent in charge should report such information by memorandum to the affected territory function.
TE/GE is responsible for recommending jeopardy/termination assessments in cases under active consideration by TE/GE.
If TE/GE receives information on cases under active consideration by another territory function, the Director, Employee Plans or Director, Indian Tribal Governments (ITG) should report such information by memorandum to the affected territory function.
Appeals will forward a report to Examination or TE/GE, as applicable, if during an Appeals consideration of a case, it is determined that a jeopardy/termination may be advisable. Examination or TE/GE is responsible for recommending the jeopardy/termination assessment.
Appeals is responsible for making the final determination of the tax liability.
A jeopardy/termination assessment will be made if collection is determined to be in jeopardy because one or more of the following conditions exists.
The taxpayer is, or appears to be, designing quickly to depart from the United States or to conceal himself or herself.
The taxpayer is, or appears to be, designing quickly to place his or her or its property (including retirement plan assets) beyond the reach of the government by removing it from the United States, concealing it, dissipating it, and/or transferring it to other persons.
The taxpayer's financial solvency is, or appears to be, imperiled. (This does not include investigations where the taxpayer becomes insolvent by virtue of the accrual of the proposed assessment of tax, penalty, and interest.)
The taxpayer has in his or her possession more than $10,000 in cash or its equivalent, denies the ownership of such cash, and refuses to identify the owner of such cash.
After the referral of a case to CI or during a joint investigation, it shall be the continued responsibility of Examination and Cl to make periodic reviews of the facts and circumstances involved in the case to assure that the government's interests are adequately protected. See Policy Statement 4-26 (Formerly 4-84), IRM 126.96.36.199.11 (6).
Jeopardy/termination assessments will be withheld in potential criminal tax investigations to the extent necessary to avoid imperiling successful investigation or prosecution of such criminal investigations. On the other hand, when such action is warranted in those investigations, it must be taken whenever it is feasible to do so.
Contact Cl if a jeopardy/termination assessment is being considered on a case that has potential for a criminal tax investigation or that may affect pending prosecution investigations.
Criminal Investigation Opinion—If the taxpayer is under criminal investigation, contact CI to determine whether to proceed with the civil aspect. If agreement cannot be reached with Cl, the opinion of Counsel will be obtained.
Counsel Opinion—If there is doubt as to whether a proposed civil action would imperil prosecution, the opinion of Counsel will be obtained.
If CI, Examination, and their respective Counsel cannot reach agreement, resolution will be by elevation to the next level of management as described in Policy Statement 4–26 (formerly 4-84), see IRM 220.127.116.11.11 (6).
Generally, there should be no suspension of collection action on assessed amounts of tax liabilities reported on filed returns.

Bought one of these Bose CD Wave Systems in December 2010. Single CD, FM radio version. No point in having DAB here, near Sevenoaks; I can't receive any BBC stations, only 120 Rap-n-Crock oommercial ones!
It's disappointing after the advert blurbs, but not enough to return. Even with the "talk radio off" selected, it is very boomy on the bass of speech and music. It plays CDs well, but is not a mini replacement for separate decent sized speakers, tuner/amplifier and CD player.
Worse still, it consumes 16watts whether "off" or "on" is selected on the remote. My 5 channel, 450watt Hi-Fi FM tuner/amplifier of 10 years age consumes less than 1watt in the remote off position. 16watts times 24 times 365 equals 140Kwatts.At 9p each, that is £26 just to have it plugged in. I know, switch it off. But it consumes more power on standby than my TV, VHS, CD player, DVD player, and tuner/amplifier combined.

Education is more than it's cracked up to be. And while Educating Rita, now at the Denver Civic Theatre, suggests the traditional ingestion and regurgitation approach can be improved upon, it never says how. Playwright Willy Russell's effort may be fun to watch, especially with such engaging actors, but its vision is a tad stunted.
But then, the educational process is difficult to dramatize. The best attempts have all been in the movies--including the 1983 film version of Educating Rita. Films like Stand and Deliver are about teachers inspiring youth to want to learn, rather than about the glorious and sometimes difficult process of acquiring learning. So Educating Rita's refreshingly different approach to education appeals to the trapped spirit within us all. The tedium and the discipline required by learning are at least fully implied as the more mundane issues of the story unfold.
Russell offers us an English working-class heroine who really wants to learn, drinking up every important poet, every work of literature she is taught to revere. She reads three novels a week and thinks of ingenious answers to boring academic questions--and all under the tutelage of her alcoholic, middle-aged professor who, tediously enough, falls in love with his pretty, and married, 26-year-old pupil.
The professor, Frank, drinks because he can't write anymore. When airhead Rita breezes into his office, all nervous energy, high spirits and higher aspirations, he is amused, then charmed, then smitten. After half a life teaching privileged nincompoops against their wills, a woman who wants to learn is a small miracle--maybe enough to reclaim his life. Maybe not.
Rita continues to bounce off the walls while discovering the world of high culture. Her wonder at suddenly comprehending a difficult intellectual concept is palpable, and most of us remember moments of discovery like this.
But what does Rita want to do with all this elaborate cultivation? Directors Michael R. Duran (who also stepped in to play Frank when the original actor had to drop out) and Lucy Roucis demonstrate Rita's progress toward high culture with progressively more "tasteful" costumes. She starts out in tight, garishly flowered pants and enormous daisy earrings and ends up in luxurious, expensive suede and silk. Each stage of her dynamic change makes us smile.
Frank, however, becomes progressively more worried. The fresh young mind he first encountered is turning into something of a monster--an "educated woman," after all, can trade her passion for learning for something perilously close to respectability.

Anyone who is or has been involved in education will recognize the sudden joy that comes in sharing with a responsive student some wonderful idea or stroke of genius. Anyone honest will also recognize that moment of despair when the teacher wonders what it's all for--to produce another efficient cog in the corporate wheel or another cultured consumer for the arts industry?
Rita tells us that her education has given her a choice. Sounds okay at first. But on reflection, choice is not enough. Neither Rita nor the self-indulgent professor ever thinks through what is missing from either education or his/her life--and the closing scenes feel anticlimactic.
But that's not the actors' fault. It may take a moment to warm to Juliet Smith as Rita. Her nervous energy seems so unfocused, it's a bit hard to believe at first. But little by little, she makes Rita real. Her mobile features are continually expressive of Rita's highs and lows, her joy and anger. We want to see her set free--if only Russell had some sort of grasp on what that might mean.
Duran's Frank is stiff and straightforward--not enough nuance in the emotional range. Yet he does manage to disturb us when Frank comes on to Rita, making that crucial moment work. The men in Rita's life, whether a jealous husband or a sensitive teacher, have tried to hold her back--unfortunately, so does Russell's script.

October 19, 2016
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Congressman Mike Honda endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim in her race for State Senate District 11. Congressman Honda cited Jane's commitment to an affordable Bay Area and her wide-ranging experience in making his endorsement.
"Our region is changing rapidly. Jane understands that we must foster this change, but also meet it with compassion. As our region prospers, we must make sure no one is left behind. Jane is the champion our working and middle class families, teachers, students, seniors and renters need in the State Senate," said Congressman Honda.
He continued, "Jane is extraordinarily qualified to be District 11's next State Senator. She's proven time and time again she won't duck away from a tough fight – she led the fight for the most progressive minimum wage increase in the country, negotiated unprecedented levels of affordable housing in new developments and strengthened San Francisco's public schools and increased funding to after-school programs. I look forward to working with her and seeing what she will accomplish in our fight for a California for all of us."
"I thank Congressman Honda for his support," said Kim. "Congressman Honda is a lifelong public servant who has dedicated himself to fighting for working and middle-class families. He's never swayed from that commitment. We have a common vision for the Bay Area and California – one where prosperity is shared among many, not just a few at the top. I've admired the Congressman's progressive policies over the years. It's such an honor to have his support."
Congressman Honda joins the Sierra Club, California's teachers and nurses, EMILY's List, Senator Bernie Sanders, California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton, Assemblymember Phil Ting, the Affordable Housing Alliance, democratic clubs across the district and hundreds of distinguished elected and community leaders. You can see Jane Kim's full endorsement list at www.JaneKim.org/endorsements.

NASA satellite captures partial Solar Eclipse0:43
NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory has captured a spectacular view of a partial solar eclipse as the moon transited between the satellite and the sun.
SOMEWHERE orbiting our planet up in the black void of space is a lost satellite posing a threat that could cause a Hollywood style catastrophe.
The nine metre wide Envisat lost contact with Earth in 2012 and has since been floating without human control with the risk it could collide with other space junk sending a devastating blanket of debris towards other satellites 790 kilometres above our heads.
MORE: Has alien life been spotted on the surface of Mercury?
If this sounds like the premise of the recent movie, Gravity, well it sort of is. In that we saw Russians nuke a non-operational satellite, which resulted in shards of the explosion ripping through the International Space Station, giving poor George Clooney and Sandra Bullock a hell of a time.
In this case George and Sandra will be safe on terra firma but the Envisat might be in trouble as two objects will pass within 200m of it every year of the 150 years it's expected to be in orbit and it's positioned at an altitude where the greatest amount of space junk is found.
Should a collision occur it could lead to a chain reaction effect known as Kessler Syndrome where fast-moving debris causes multiple collisions leaving a cloud of orbiting shrapnel threatening the safety of other satellites and spacecraft. Knocking these out could disrupt telecommunication networks and GPS systems leaving us in a lost and satellite TV-less state. Not only that, it could prove disastrous for future space missions to get through and avoid all the floating junk.
Professor George Fraser, Director of the University of Leicester (UK) Space Research Centre, commented:
"The Special Projects paper highlights the huge area and mass of Envisat as the major risk factors for space debris."
"The fact that Envisat is in a near-polar orbit doesn't help either, since its path intersects most satellites' orbits nearly at right angles. Imagine driving down the motorway and every so often a large truck cuts right across all four lanes right in front of you."
But don't panic just yet. According to physics students at the University a collision with Envisat, which was launched in 2002 by the European Space Agency to observe and monitor Earth's atmosphere, oceans and ice caps, is unlikely but considering the risk it does pose de-orbiting the $3 billion craft is a wise idea.
However, the high cost and complicated process to bring this satellite back to Earth could mean it will stay stranded.

Oh, I know you are a "Chiefs" girl, Phyllis!! LOL
They lost yesterday. to a South African team I think. Give me the Chiefs any day - oh for the sound of the Mooloo cowbells... the pleasures of years gone by eh!
I'm rarely happy with the colours I choose so wouldn't like to do it for someone else!! LOLThat's all "part of the fun" of a new home. You'll be fine and happy in a couple of weeks. At least Len's Blues are doing better this year!! LOL
Ummm! thanks John, very interesting. I don't suppose you're up for some painting are you? we've been looking at paint colours and it's not as easy as it looks. Might have chosen a lounge suite though so thats good.
yes, phyllis, they have cabins for the crew, showers, galley (kitchen).. when you tow something across the atlantic at walking speed you need the comforts of home!! lol. even the harbour tugs have accommodation as they don't know how long a job might take.tugs have a lot of hull below the water line which keeps them reasonably stable. they have huge engines for the size of the vessel. they are low, keeping the centre of gravity low. in rough weather, i always preferred to be on a tug than many of the larger vessels!! hwyl!!
Tell me John, do these tugs have sleeping quarters and living quarters too? Do they have, is it ballast to keep them reasonably steady at sea? notwithstanding the sea has a mind of it's own.Phyllis

do is plan in a vacuum. Have someone who is not emotionally invested in your vision help you write and review [your plan]," says Gadsden, who was also instructed to write a list of potential and core supporters that allowed the Wordshop to raise $75,000 the first year.
Follow Gadsden's pointers and you can carry your visionto the bank and not the grave.
Write the vision and make it plain:A vision can be grand and ambitious, but objectives and goals should be concrete, simple, and measurable.
Writing with tunnel vision can lead you off course:Identify and plan goals around obstacles that may be out of peripheral view.
Do not let your vision go stale: After you've written your goals, revisit them often to assess if they are pertinent to your present reality.
Do not let your vision go stale: After you've written your goals, revisit them often to assess if they are pertinent to your present reality.
Lose weight. Earn a promotion. Learn a second language. Get out of debt. Few people would blame you for wanting to do any one of these things — or all of the above. The question is, are these true goals or mere wishes?
Most of us are familiar with the saying, "a goal without a plan is just a wish." The ability to set and achieve goals — whether it's the simple to-do list that gets you through the day or major objectives that will define your life — is the difference between success and failure, between mere busywork and truly worthwhile accomplishments.
Are you actively, even desperately, trying to achieve your goals or are you passively hoping for your dreams to come true? It's a matter of commitment: Your goals must be so important to you that you are motivated to do whatever it takes to achieve them. The only person who can provide that commitment is you.
Putting goals down on paper is just one of the many techniques used by peak performers to transform dreams and wishes into reality. For more on the principles of goal-setting, read the following books:

The Ten Commandments of Goal Setting: Violate Them At Your Own Risk by Gary Ryan Blair (The GoalsGuy; $7.95)
Motivation and Goal Setting: How to Set and Achieve Goals and Inspire Others by Jim Cairo (Career Press; $10.99)
