WWE WrestleMania 21
It's got girls, guys and some of the most homoerotic gaming suggestiveness since, erm, any Kojima game. Is it the ultimate WWE title though?
Studio Gigante
Wrestling games, along with obscure Japanese RPGs such as Shadow Hearts, have long been the primary platform for unintentional videogame homoeroticism. WrestleMania 21, though, really does take the biscuit. Not only is there a specific button for undressing your opponent, there's one for spanking them too. Sadly for female players, these two functions only work in WrestleMania 21's all-female Bra and Panties mode - but speaking honestly, shirtless sweaty men grappling each other in lycra short-shorts doesn't need a spank button to be homoerotic.
WrestleMania 21 can't possibly be entirely devoid of entertainment, then, can it? Surely nothing with a Bra and Panties mode could be? Think again. This hasn't been a good generation for Xbox-owning wrestling fans, with efforts ranging from the dire to the almost bearable and no further. WrestleMania 21, in the interests of fairness, is closer to the 'almost bearable' side of the scale - but this is not much of an accolade. Celebrity wrestler voices and a new online mode cannot save such a clunky game.
This is Studio Gigante's first try at a WWE title, and they have got some things right. WXXI's graphics are spot-on, with detailed characters and (for the most part) fluid animation. Wrestlers in the game are actually proper likenesses of their real-life counterparts and look as if they have a bit of life in them, in stark contrast to the scary, lifeless character models of the previous Xbox WWE games. We also have encouragingly alive-looking crowds, pretty entrance sequences and a career mode with a proper story which incorporates, and is voiced by, many of the WWE's current stars.
However, the game itself is somewhat less professional. We have two grapple buttons, each of which can be either tapped or held down to perform different sorts of move. Well, theoretically. In reality, though, you'll just end up frantically bashing whichever button comes to hand. Timing attacks is difficult and often random, as is the collision detection, making calculated assaults a near-impossibility. The pace of the game is also ludicrously slow, though not quite as bad as the earlier WWE Raw games, meaning that your wrestler takes about ten seconds to get from one end of the ring to the other.
This slowness is further exacerbated by your wrestler's recovery time. One on the floor, he doesn't get up until he has writhed around on the floor for at least four seconds, often considerably longer. In cage matches, for instance, your opponent can floor you, climb the cage, hang on to the top for a while and escape before you even manage to stagger back to your feet, let alone spend sixteen seconds walking over to the cage wall in order to rattle it. Even on the ridiculously simple difficulty level, the game's pace lets it down.
That the AI can manage to perform the above in cage matches almost every time is somewhat ironic, because in every other instance the AI shows itself to be somewhat intellectually challenged. Each wrestler has a specific style, and they all stick rigidly to their attack patterns. Aerial attack wrestlers, for instance, will run over to the turnbuckle and leap off it with wanton abandon ever when it's completely inappropriate or unnecessary.
Because of these rigid attack patterns, it's also very easy to get stuck in a loop and be left repeatedly poking at the X button with considerable irritation as your opponent knocks you over, jumps on you, does a submission move, jumps on you again, then does the same submission move eight times before getting confused and letting your wrestler get halfway to his feet before kicking him repeatedly in the shins, thus rendering him prone once again and driving you to throw faecal matter at the screen.
Faecal matter or no faecal matter, however, irritation will almost certainly be your predominant feeling whilst playing this game. Any enjoyment will be strictly secondary. It doesn't help that the game's main and most entertaining mode, Career Mode, features the world's least likeable protagonist. Having created your wrestler from the limited but reasonably varied selection of options in Create-a-Wrestler, you can then play him through a WWE career, buying new C-a-W items, stadiums, logos, wrestlers et cetera. The career mode features all the WWE bigwigs in a typically soap-opera style script charting your wrestler's rise to glory. We are treated to locker-room scenes and pre-bout heckling, which develops your character and his rivalries as is now the fashion in wrestling.
This might sound pretty impressive, and in some ways it is, but the career mode just isn't engaging. There are some pieces of hysterically awful scripting, but these can comfortably be overlooked, as the actual WWE season's 'story' is rather pathetic as well. What's odd about the career mode is that your character acts like a total cockwit towards everyone. A certain amount of trash-talking can be expected in wrestling games, but when your character is just thoroughly unpleasant to absolutely everyone, from his boss to his tag-team partner to his much worthier rivals, it's difficult to want him to win. In fact, seeing the arrogant git getting his face rearranged by his rival wrestlers is oddly satisfying.
The Career Mode cutscenes, however, will probably provide the most entertainment that the game has to offer. I don't exactly know when wrestling went all 'bling', but the associated vocabulary makes for some very entertaining oratory fireworks between wrestlers. It's almost as good as watching real WWE wrestlers swagger around each other and talk nonsense - and you can acknowledge it as fake without incurring the wrath of several hundred na�ve twelve-year-olds.
Possibly the most irritating thing about Career Mode, though, is that you need to create and reload a 'player profile' every time you switch on the Xbox or your created wrestler's progress won't be saved. Or rather, his progress is saved, but his earned money and accolades aren't, which is a problem if you want to buy any of the game's extra wrestlers, features and other bits and bobs. Now, this may not sound particularly severe, but there is nothing in the game which reminds you to load or even create a player profile - it's only when you've played through about ten matches and noticed that you still only have $200 in the bank that you begin to suspect something to be amiss. It's very easy to switch on the Xbox, select your character, play a few matches and then remember that you haven't loaded your 'profile', thus rendering the previous torturous half-hour that you've spent on the game even more of a waste of time. Having to reload your profile every time you play - even, sometimes between every single match you play - is inexplicably cumbersome.
It says much about WrestleMania 21 that the cutscenes are the most entertaining thing about it. The play mechanic is clumsy, the AI is disappointing and the Career mode is neither engaging nor fun. Fans of decent wrestling games might have to look to the next generation for something that delivers both style and substance.

Curious what a roll off container "swap" is? Watch this brief video and see an example of a roll off recycling container "swap" at a residential demolition project in Redmond, WA.
The United Recycling & Container (URC) hook truck arrives, speaks briefly with the customer to find out where he needs the container, then "drops" (unloads) the empty roll off container for the demolition contractor to load. The URC driver inspects the contents of the full container already on site, then loads it on the hook truck. Once the container is loaded on the truck, the driver cleans up the area where the container was sitting (sweeping concrete/asphalt areas, picking up loose materials, etc.), ensuring the area is left as clean as possible for the customer. The driver then tarps the load. The container is hauled back to URC's recycling facility in Snohomish, WA, dumped, then processed for recycling. For this project, as fast as the demolition contractor could load a container, the URC hook truck was back with an empty roll off container to swap. Our roll off container service supports the demolition contractor in efficient use of space and keeps the project moving!
We invite you to open an account and schedule roll off container service, r call 360-668-4300 to speak with a recycling expert.

For single ladies, it is hard to find the right love with the right man. Sure you can try to go out in clubs and bars and look your best but what does it hurt to enlist the help of some enhancements to make things go your way. There is an oil called Pheromone that is proven to be a good assistance in attracting the opposite sex. It is known to have an overpowering scent that is mainly used for seduction purposes. It is almost telepathic and arouses the male by the scent the Pheromone oil is emitting from the important pulse points in your body. You should understand though, that Pheromone oil only aides you in your conquest for the right man. Since the scent is not naturally yours, you should be aware that you may only end up having sex but do not dismiss the possibility that you may find that long term relationship too. Here is how to use Pheromone oil to attract the man of your dreams:
Always remember that the wonders of these "attraction" oil works only to stimulate the sexual senses. You might not be naturally attracted to a guy even if he is handsome. Let your instinct work its way to find the guy of your preference, it may be the start of a good relationship.

With federal budget deficits on the rise again, the White House Wednesday officially kicked the problem down the road to the next president.
Asked about Congressional Budget Office projections that the federal deficit will spike 33 percent this year, White House press secretary Josh Earnest cited reasons including an aging population and Republican-sponsored tax cuts.
Then he added, "There's certainly a lot money that can be saved, and this will be a challenge that the next president and the next Congress will have to do."
CBO said this week that the government will end fiscal 2016 on Sept. 30 with a deficit of about $590 billion, or 3.2 percent of gross domestic product. That's up from 2.5 percent of GDP in fiscal 2015, and the first time in six years that deficits are rising as a share of GDP.
Mr. Obama and Congress racked up annual deficits topping $1 trillion in his first three years in office, as Washington tried to blunt the effects of a severe recession. After a peak deficit of $1.4 trillion in 2009, the government's red ink fell to a low of $439 billion in fiscal 2015.
Again, nothing new here. It has been this Administration belief that anything that happens even the slightest bit negative, blame it on Bush.
ANOTHER TYPICAL 'BALLS-FREE" ACT by the COWARD IN CHARGE
That useless POS causes these problems and has no intention of doing anything about them. He will leave a legacy as being the worst POTUS ever. The only person this makes happy is Jimmy Carter.
Typical obama let the next person worry about the budget, I could solve the deficit real easy get rid of some of the excess government offices that was created to fulfill political obligations these officials are doing nothing but pushing papers around they were created to be a double for a legitimate federal bureau, save a ton of money when these freeloaders get kicked off the federal payroll and have to get a real job also they would have to pay taxes like all us other taxpayers
Amazing how everyone forgot that the "stimulus" was a "one time thing" and somehow became the starting point for baseline budgeting.
You guys are all "trash talking" Obama; however, I'll bet over half of you voted to put the HNIC in the White House, twice!
Nope. Not even once!
Never even a possibility.
Obama, along with his administration have not taken responsibility for any negative occurrences the Fed. Gov. have made during the last 8 years. Obama stands at the podium, looking at the world and blames anyone but himself for any mistakes made. He will stand there and say he didn't even know about the mistake until now. He is such a small man, being condescending to the people he is addressing and being such a coward, blaming others while deflecting blame from himself. This fake, insincere facade is seen right through to the man at the podium.
You forgot about his nose always being in the air. The biggest narcissist ever!!!
Barack Hussein looks like such a graceful ballerina when he is playing golf and making a dance with one leg up in the air.
Well, we elected a poor leader who prefers to play golf and be with his Hollywood friends than taking care of his country.
Or I should say…not HIS country but OUR country.
Business as usual for Obama, blame the Republicans, kick it down the road, ignore it and hit the golf course. Obama campaigned declaring Bush was "unpatriotic" due to Bush's $5 Trillion increase of U.S. debt. Recently Obama stated that there was no need to be concerned about the, almost, $20 Trillion of debt, $10 Trillion of which is Obama's. If Bush's $5 Trillion was "unpatriotic", I wonder how we should describe Obama's $10 Trillion and how we should describe Obama's $400 Million and $1.5 Billion payments to Iran?? Well, I guess the next President will just have to correct the $20 Trillion debt.
you are right obama could care less and if bush was unpatriotic them obama should be locked and charged with treason for starters
Obama admin: The Buck Stops… With the Next President!
Truth be Told…
#NeverEverHillary…Or We get more of The Same!
Besides being morally bankrupt, a demonic pschopath, "Dick-taker-N-Thief", Muslim-Marxist jihadist, he is LAZY AS HELL – how appropiate as that is surely where him and his band of merry homo and lezbo commie regime are headed!
NOW that is a perfect Example of what a BALLS FREE FREAK our 'HObammy really is!!! May be next he'll admit to WEARING SKIRTS!
President Obama is in coast mode. Any chance that he is going to do any hard work is gone. He knows that someone else is going to get stuck with the bill for his financial mismanagement.
President Obama has never been serious about financial responsibility. His whole administration was about making government bigger, taxes higher and the citizens poorer. He has been successful in achieving all those goals.
What else could we expect from a street lazy bum who was going with older men to pay for his drug addiction.
This is a new one on me. Would you elaborate?
During his younger years Obama admitted he was dabbed in drugs and alcohol including marijuana and cocaine.
He was going to gay bars and at man's country bathhouse and was very much into older guys.
It was a story about his involvement with older men to feed his addiction to drugs.
He has never done any hard work. Why would anyone expect that to change now?
Except for Hitler the world has never known a bigger fraud this guy has been a complete fraud his entire life , I hope someone brings him up on treason charges
He'll go down in history as the President that never was; any failings were Bush's; any salvage of his ruinious reign is the next LEGAL President's problem!
The President that never was, true, and maybe they'll leave his picture off of the next Presidential photo collection, just have a black spot!
Step one needs to be zero annual increase in deficit.
Then Step two needs to be budget surplus applied to reducing the deficit.
Considering how easy it was for Obama and a Democratic Legislature to institute trillion dollar deficits year after year. 100 billion dollar surpluses should be child's play. And once started on the right track, who knows how fast the deficit can really be reduced.
To paraphrase Neil Armstrong, One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind.
Somebody tell me where the 10 trillion went alot of money and I see nothing to show for it
A copy of my very recent reply to the Representative in my district.
Rep. Steny Hoyer
I am pleased to see that the Federal
budget has improved to the point that the US government has become a
venture capitalist. Although I do wonder which Article of the
Constitution justifies that role. The CongressionalAppChallenge may
be but a pittance, although when multiplied by the number of
Congressional districts, it may be 'real' dollars, even when related
to the 10 trillion dollar deficit that has been added in the past 7
years. I tend to compare it to when I receive an exorbitant water
bill, and find that I had a leaky toilet tank.
You knew that the last year of the inept lying outlaw would be bad.
Elect Trump I want to see Obama go in front of a Grand Jury
Never see him in front of a Grand Jury! Americans made the mistake of electing an impostor with shaky credentials without looking into his background in the name of making history. Now he controls the court system, the voter fraud, and everything around it by decree. All bow to the Emperor.
Haven't you heard, they cheated to get him on the ballot, he didn't even have enough votes to get on.
Yes I heard. The Dems are going to use the same tactics in November to get their chosen evil one into office. That's why they are letting Ex-Convicts vote and don't want voter ID.
Illegal voting is to start Sept.26 in Wi. according to a news article , thanks to Federal Judges
Let the Fraud begin.
Just like 4 years ago. The Satan followers will be out in full force.
Just came in my email: • Are Voters
already being Conditioned for Rigged Elections by the Establishment?
Not all VOTERS only those BOUGHT by Liberal LIES and UNEDUCATED ANARCHSTS! With a few tombstones thrown in along with Illegal votes
ACORN by any other name ANARCHISTS all
What the Clintons DO bEST!
as Directed by the Loretta Lynch the Clueless AG of te CORRUPTED DOJ which has been BOUGHT with Foreign and SOROS Money by the Clinton Foundation
I put the blame on CONGRESS it is their job to find out who is eligible to for the position of President.But it is obvious that it does not matter to them what the Constitution States. They had plenty of time to verify. And if they would have I think we would have found out obama is not a citizen.
Actually it's not. We don't have federal elections, we have elections run by the individual states and territories to elect electors. THEY decide who is qualified to be on their ballots. Most states accept the certification of the party (Nasty Pelosi certified Obozo) and that's that. Only a person "with standing" is allowed to sue to have them disqualified and that generally means an opposing candidate.
Legal opinion is that had McCain or Romney chosen to go the legal route they would have had to have done it in each individual state.
I believe it is up to the party putting forth a candidate to make certain he is qualified. Pelosi was in charge.
No! They DIDN'T elect him! That was very clear the second time around, and many saw through him right away!!
Right next to the Pathological Sociopath from CHAPPAQUA
I want to see Obama rowing across the ocean to Kenya.
I want to see him rowing fast enough to get there with a 1/4 hole drilled in the bottom of it.
Won't happen. One of his last acts will be pardons all around, including for himself.
I want to see him in front of a firing squad.
No it started and stops with the "Lame Buck" in the WH. He and his "Big Momma" have been the most expensive couple to ever enter the "People's House". Talk about putting our money where their mouths are.
Too Boot his Mother-in-law has spent all these years enjoying everything including trips. Who nominated her for anything?
Agree. This is what happens when you give a Community Organizer a blank check!
He is a Dictator up in our faces.
The next president will either increase the budget and bankrupt America or the president will stop all the "free give aways". Congress will not help the president that tries to such down all the free tax monies going to foreign and lazy people. Just look at the congress record, they have raised the debt limit every time they were ask to do so. America want be the first country to be destroyed by the politicians or government leaders.
Be the first Civilized country to fall because of a black man!
And we will be the first Civilized country to fall even more if we have Hillary Clinton as the first woman president.
We'll loose our country with her!
And, those who vote either for race or gender are worse than the ones they complain about, being racist and sexist!! That is not a reason to vote for someone.
You are 100% right.
Notice that as far as the "Dark Skinned" races go nothing much good has ever come from them. Think about it.
I don't have to think real hard on this one, you are absolutely right as usual!!
Well thank you I have formed opinions over the years that don't always fly with what people want me to say and think. Been that way since 12 and younger.
Look at all the cities in the country that are really bad shape and then look at who runs them, need more be said all democrat and minority
MLK would be sick at them all. His followers dressed good, acted civil and they were not down with the filth you see today. They were decent citizens and they were right in their fight. These people today, the new generations because being a nurse I worked with the best of them CNA, mostly black women up in years. Wonderful women and they saw what was coming.

Thurrock Bin Strikes Off But Tensions Remain, Warns Unite
- Monday 16 April 2018
Unite members working in Thurrock council's waste collection service have agreed to end the current threat of strike action; but tensions remain in the service and the threat of strikes could be revisited if the council reneges on its promises, Unite warned today (Monday 16 April).
Following the decision to suspend the initial strike action (on April 6) Thurrock council has now made a series of concessions in writing. As a result Unite's members have agreed to call off their remaining planned strikes.
The 72 hour strike beginning at 0:01 hours on Tuesday 1 May and the 24 hour strikes due to begin on 16, 23 and 30 May have now been formally called off.
The council has confirmed:
• Pictures from the new 'big brother' style cameras with live streaming to be fitted on Thurrock's refuse vehicles can't be viewed by managers at their desks and phones and will only be normally viewed by the council's data protection officer. Any requests to view the footage will have to be in writing and that information will be shared with Unite
• There will be no cuts to the rounds
• The council has accepted that there are major problems with the service and it will create a working group which will include Unite members to balance the rounds to deliver a better service
• Problems surrounding payments for Saturday working have been resolved
• The council will take action to resolve issues of union discrimination and the lack of facility time.
Unite regional officer Michelle Cook said: "Having received the council's written concessions, Unite members have agreed to call off the remaining strike dates.
"However Thurrock council must understand that there are major tensions remaining in its refuse service and if it reneges on its agreement in any way we will re-ballot for strike action.
"Recent council communications that suggest this has all been a misunderstanding and ignores the major concessions that have been made, are extremely unhelpful, inaccurate and further erode workplace harmony.
"To ensure that there is no further threat of bin strikes it is imperative that the council's written agreement is abided by and that every effort is made to restore confidence among the workforce."
Notes to editors:
For more information please contact Unite communications officer Barckley Sumner on 020 3371 2067 or 07802 329235. Email: email@example.com

Hey! It's another WipItUp Wednesday!
This week, I'm giving you another snippet from A Good Family Man, continuing right where last week's left off.
The gym wasn't busy this time of the day as the almost empty parking lot screamed, but he spotted Josh's old-fashioned Beetle right off. Driving over, he parked next to him and got out, admiring the slim body that unfolded itself out of the little bubble car. Wearing knee-length shorts and a well-worn blue t-shirt, Josh looked hot. He grinned at Jack as he hopped out of his truck. "Ever been to a bouldering gym before?"
"Work had a climbing wall. I went whenever I needed a stress-reliever."
"Then welcome to peace." Josh laughed, pulling a small bag out of the back of his car and leading the way inside.
After paying, Josh put on his climbing shoes while Jack grabbed a rental pair. "This is wild," Jack admitted, looking around. "The one at work was straight up, not concave."
"Ah, that's where the fun starts," the man next to him said, his breathing slightly elevated in excitement. "Shall we?"
Jack was out of practice, but it didn't take long to remember the wonderful pain as his muscles burned. Going straight up was fun, but taking one of the paths that put him crawling almost upside down while perpendicular to the floor thrilled him. The problem was that his left hand kept slipping. The leather glove couldn't get the hold he wanted.
"Take the glove off," Josh suggested after landing on the floor while trying to leap up one of the walls.
"Can't." Even he didn't like to see the skin. He wasn't showing the scars to anyone else.
"All right. Then how about some more chalk?"
"That'll have to do." Leaping from his current spot, he landed on one of the pads down below, reveling in feeling alive for the first time in months. After chalking up his hands, he turned toward the man next to him who was stretching out his arms and gazing up at a particularly evil looking angle. "When do you have to go home?"
Looking over at him, for a moment Josh looked unsure of himself and finally he smiled, a cute dimple showing in his left cheek. "When I'm done. I didn't actually forget anything. I just wanted to see you and, well, see if there was anything there."
UPDATE: (7/4/2018) This book is currently Out of Print – it has been rewritten and will be republished under Corbin's Bend Pride in the future.
And now on with more WIPs…

A new entry-level iMac pushes the slimline all-in-one to its lowest price so far, with Apple's new 21.5-inch model cutting the cost of desktop OS X ahead of Yosemite's release later in the year. Priced from $1,099, the starter iMac gets a 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor and Intel HD 5000 graphics, though Apple's Fusion Drive storage isn't included as standard.
In fact, like the other iMacs in the range – both 21.5- and 27-inch – if you want Fusion Drive you'll have to place a custom order. From our experience with the combined HDD and flash storage system on last year's 27-inch iMac, we'd say it's worth the $250 Apple asks for the 1TB Fusion Drive option.
Otherwise, there's 8GB of memory and a 500GB hard-drive by default, with further options to switch that to 1TB of HDD for another $50, or 256GB of SSD for $250.
As usual, there are two Thunderbolt ports, four USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth, and 802.11ac WiFi. You get Apple's wireless keyboard in the box, as well as a choice of Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad, and of course the usual iLife and iWork apps.
Later on in the year, there'll be a no-cost upgrade to OS X Yosemite. Apple has said to expect that this fall.
The new 21.5-inch iMac ships within 24 hours from Apple's store. Expect a custom order with Fusion Drive to take 1-3 days.

Classics tries to understand the writings, thoughts and culture of Greece and Rome, which have been so influential in the creation of the modern world. It's a broad and exciting subject that looks at many different areas, including literature, history, archaeology, art history, philosophy and linguistics.
Rated the best undergraduate Classics course in the country for the last two years (The Guardian), you don't need to have studied Latin or Greek to take Classics at Cambridge. The Faculty has several different degree programs depending on your experience. Some students have done lots of languages, others have none. What matters is that you are fascinated by the incredibly complex worlds of antiquity.
You'll start by focusing on the languages and the core literature, but as you progress you'll be really encouraged to pursue what interests you the most. By the final year you'll be free to choose subjects ranging from the Late Roman empire and ancient Idols to the Aeneid and the art of collecting.
Full details of the University's Classics courses are provided on the Faculty of Classics website, and summarised in the University Undergraduate Prospectus.
Churchill is a modern, informal and friendly place and our approach to Classics is the same. We have a great library, we're a short bike-ride from the Classics Faculty, and the Classics students and tutors work as a close-knit team. You'll find the culture supportive and helpful. You'll always be pushed to dig deeper into whatever areas interest you most.
Churchill aims to make two or three offers in Classics each year.
For the four-year course, you don't have to have studied any particular A Level / IB Higher Level subjects. All you need is an outstanding academic track record and a passionate interest in the ancient world.

WASHINGTON – Today, ITI commended the advancement of the Harvesting American Cybersecurity Knowledge through Education (HACKED) Act, which aims to strengthen the U.S. cybersecurity workforce by investing in existing science education and cybersecurity programs within the National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Transportation. The bipartisan measure, introduced by Sens. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), John Thune (R-S.D.), and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), cleared the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation earlier today. It now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
"With more than 300,000 cybersecurity job vacancies in the United States, ensuring that workers now and in the future have access to cyber education is a priority," said ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman. "The bipartisan HACKED Act takes important steps to help fill this critical skills gap and bolster the U.S. cybersecurity workforce through long-term planning and investment. We thank Senators Wicker, Cantwell, Thune, and Rosen for their leadership on this issue and commend the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for its swift approval of the measure."

At just 22 years old, Post Malone already has plenty of hits to his name. He broke through in 2015 with the hit "White Iverson," and is nearing one billion Spotify streams on his latest hit "rockstar." His tracks are ubiquitous to the dance music scene, when they're played during just about ever main stage set. His flow and style is unmistakable, and that might actually come as a bit of a detriment in his sophomore album beerbongs & bentleys.
The 18-track album only spawned three singles before its release: "Psycho," "Candy Paint," and "rockstar." Many of the hip hop tracks suffer from the same monotony that was found in his debut album, Stoney. Still, tracks like "Stay" prove Malone's songwriting abilities extend far beyond just the monotonous drone of his typical melodies.
Tracks like "Same Bitches" also present more mature production and ways to set itself apart from the rest of the album, especially with features from G-Eazy and YG on the deck.
Overall, it's easy to lose yourself in the 64-minute album and get to the end without realizing it; each track seems to pretty easily flow into the next. And plenty of these tracks will undoubtedly end up getting bootleg remixes, so be on the lookout for those during this festival season. Check out Post Malone's new album below.

Alleged corruption in FIRS as 9 officials arrested by EFCC for allegedly diverting N6bn tax fund
Some officials of the FIRS have reportedly been arrested by the EFCC for alleged fraud, The EFCC also confirmed the arrest of the officials Nine senior officials of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) have reportedly been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to confirmed sources, the officials were arrested over the illegal diversion of N6 billion tax funds that should have gone to the Nigerian government. It was reported that the director of finance and accounts of the FIRS, Mohammed Auta, is one of those in detention. Another director of the agency, Peter Hena, is also alleged to be involved in the scandal. Hena is reportedly out of Nigeria but sources within the anti-graft agency reportedly said he would be arrested when he returns. It was learnt that most of the other affected officials are from the finance and account department of the FIRS. All the officials have been in the EFCC detention since April 1. The EFCC spokesperson, Orilade Tony, confirmed the detention of the officials.

In the era of the cloud, customers migrating away from their existing on-premise infrastructure. This requires lots of planning, strategies, and effort to identify their existing resources and determine how best to migrate. Luckily, AWS has come up with the Application Discovery Service which makes this process easy.
In this guide, we will explore this service and its functionalities.
Importance of application discovery service
Traditional datacenters contain hundreds and thousands of servers, which can make it difficult to identify the functionality of each particular server. This could be due to missing or un-updated documentation, application owners has resigning, etc. Applications themselves can involve complex dependencies that are poorly understood and highly sensitive to changes. If you are creating inventory of these resources manually, then it is going to be time consuming and you may not be have a reliable source of information. AWS's Application Discovery Service is a solution to this.
So, where does the Application Discovery Service stand in the migration process? Datacenter migrations happen in four phases, which are explained below.
- Strategy: This stage will evaluate existing IT environment and define the strategy of migration.
- Planning and discovery: This stage will focus on discovering your application and server resources. It will help in identifying your application's related dependencies. The Application Discovery Service works on this stage. It will identify your application and systems-related information, which helps you to define infrastructure on AWS.
- Build: In this stage, you are going to start moving your application to AWS. After migration, you will run various tests to evaluate the performance of your application on AWS. AWS Database Migration Service and AWS Server Migration Service are used in this stage.
- Run: In this stage, you are going to optimize the performance of your application and start setting up monitoring on your resources.
Application discovery service
The Application Discovery Service helps in identifying the application running in your existing datacenter server, it's dependencies, and the baseline performance of your server. It will also scan the network related activity, TCP and UDP connections with the server, NIC information, etc. These will help in identify network-related dependencies for the application.
Application Discovery Service provides two modes:
Agentless discovery: Agentless discovery has limited features compared to agent-based discovery. This mode collects data concerning the operating system of your server, but it will not collect information regarding your application and its dependencies. This mode will only work in VMware environment. AWS will provide an OVF template which needs to be deployed in your VMware environment. This OVF template will be deployed as the AWS agentless discovery connector. Configure this connector with your vCenter server credentials and AWS credentials.
Agent-based discovery: Agent-based discovery mode will collect your server and application-related information, software dependencies, network dependencies, and baseline performance. This data will be stored in an AWS-hosted database. In this mode, the agent needs to be installed in one or more servers in your data center. The agent software does not consume much hardware resources like CPU and Memory, and you can install the agent software with your server's software management tools, like Chef, Puppet, Ansible, or SCM.
Application discovery service has two components: The agent on the host, and the database on AWS.
The agent will run on the host, collect information, and send data over a secured, encrypted connection to the AWS database.
Application Discovery Service also allows you to save data in CSV or XML format, so you can export this data to the third-party visualization tool of your choice.
Agent-based based discovery is compatible with following operating systems:
- Ubuntu 14
- Amazon Linux 2012.03 or 2015.03
- Centos 6 or 7
- Redhat 6 or 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2008 R2
Data Captured by Application Discovery Service
Application Discover Service will capture:
- Infrastructure and operating system-related information, like hostname, IP address, operating system architecture, etc.
- Information about your running applications and processes used by your applications with all the minor details, such as which user owns the process, which group it belongs to, etc.
- System resource-related information like CPU, memory, disk I/O, how many resources have been consumed, etc. These will help you to decide instance size and type when you migrate to AWS.
- Network-related activities like open TCP and UDP ports, routing tables, NIC information, etc. This will help you to configure your instance firewall and identify if any network-related dependencies there for your application.
API Operations
Application Discovery Service also provides different API operations. It will retrieve the data discovered from the datacenter by an agent or the connector. The AWS command line and SDK utilities are available to access API operations. Below are some API operations available:
- GetDiscoverySummary: Retrieves a brief summary of discovered information.
- DescribeTags: Retrieves all configuration items with specific tags assigned to them.
- ListConfigurations: Retrieves configuration item, based on the filter you have provided.
Implementing Application Discovery Service
Before using Application Discovery Service, you must request access for this service. AWS will send detailed information about how to use this service when they receive the request. To request access for this service, go to the AWS management console, find Application Discovery Service, and fill out the requested details.
Limitations of Application Discovery Service
Agentless discovery: This service allows you to process 10 GB data per day. Going excess of this limit will prevent you from processing any more data for that day. You can extend this limit by contacting AWS support.
Agent-based discovery: The AWS Discovery Agent does not support non-standard Ethernet naming conventions in the Linux environment. AWS Discovery Agent will look for eth0 adapter.
Below is the maximum service limit for agent-based discovery:
- 250 active agents at a time (agents which are collecting and sending data to AWS).
- 10,000 inactive agents (agents that are responsive but not sending data to AWS).
- 10 GB of data per day.
- 90 days of data storage (Data will purge after this validity).

Detectives have arrested a third man in connection with a fatal shooting in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Two men aged 29 and 32, have alreday been arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain in custody for questioning after a man in his thirties was shot dead in Ashton Under Lyne yesterday afternoon.
Armed Police cordoned off an area around Birch Street after the shooting which took place around 4.50.
A man in his 30s was taken to hospital where he sadly died from his injuries.
A man in his 20s later presented himself at hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. He is currently being treated for his injuries and remains in a stable condition.
There are currently a number of properties being searched in Ashton, Clayton and Openshaw as part of this investigation and enquires are ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Clitherow, of GMP's Major Incident Team, said: "We have a team of dedicated detectives, firearms officers and crime scene investigators that have worked tirelessly through the night gathering key information.
"We now have three men in custody all arrested on suspicion of murder but our investigation is very much ongoing and there are several property searches taking place across Greater Manchester.
"We are supporting the man's family as they process this horrendous incident and will continue to work around the clock to establish exactly what happened. Our thoughts remain with them at this very sad time.
"I am continuing to urge anyone with any piece of information, no matter how big or small, to please get in touch as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident number 1592 of 13/06/2018, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Tocopherols and tocotrienols, collectively known as tocochromanols, are the major lipid-soluble antioxidants in maize (Zea mays L.) grain. Given that individual tocochromanols differ in their degree of vitamin E activity, variation for tocochromanol composition and content in grain from among diverse maize inbred lines has important nutritional and health implications for enhancing the vitamin E and antioxidant contents of maize-derived foods through plant breeding. Toward this end, we conducted a genome-wide association study of six tocochromanol compounds and 14 of their sums, ratios, and proportions with a 281 maize inbred association panel that was genotyped for 591,822 SNP markers. In addition to providing further insight into the association between ZmVTE4 (γ-tocopherol methyltransferase) haplotypes and α-tocopherol content, we also detected a novel association between ZmVTE1 (tocopherol cyclase) and tocotrienol composition. In a pathway-level analysis, we assessed the genetic contribution of 60 a priori candidate genes encoding the core tocochromanol pathway (VTE genes) and reactions for pathways supplying the isoprenoid tail and aromatic head group of tocochromanols. This analysis identified two additional genes, ZmHGGT1 (homogentisate geranylgeranyltransferase) and one prephenate dehydratase parolog (of four in the genome) that also modestly contribute to tocotrienol variation in the panel. Collectively, our results provide the most favorable ZmVTE4 haplotype and suggest three new gene targets for increasing vitamin E and antioxidant levels through marker-assisted selection.

. . . . . and not a single one in a pie. It was all aboard the Pumpkin Train at Prairie Village on Saturday. An event in the planning for the past three months, the Pumpkin Train exceeded everyone's expectations for participation. Five dollars bought you a ticket to pick a pumpkin for the pumpkin patch at Prairie Village. If you're age 12 or less. Otherwise you got a free ride on the Prairie Village railroad and the chance for vicarious joy watching your kids find their most perfect pumpkin ever.
This was the first year for the Pumpkin Train. The event was a fund-raiser for restoration of Chapel Car Emmanuel. When I met with the Pumpkin Team planning committee for the first time, I said "We need to keep it simple." I wanted a few games for the kids to play while they waited their turn to board the train. "If we get 50 kids this first year, I'll be happy," I told the Team.
The final count – 395 tickets sold. About 800 train riders. We started with 235 pumpkins. Most we grew in the Village patch – some were donated. After the first train load it was clear we were going to have call Pumpkin 911. There were already another 100 people waiting in line and we were only 30 minutes into the event that was scheduled for four. We bought out one farmer, then we bought out another farmer who had his truck set up at the corner convenience store. In the end every child got a pumpkin and we had a dozen or so left in the patch.
The games we had going were a huge success. Pumpkin Bowling, Scarecrow Relay Races, Halloween Bingo, and face painting. On the train there was Pumpkin Caroling led by Good Witch Sandy.
We ran out cider, we ran out donuts, we sold all the candy left in the Village Gift Shop. We made another trip into town and hit the various dollar stores because we ran out of prizes for the games.
We won't know the net proceeds for another week. But I think it's safe to say that the Chapel Car Restoration Fund swelled like a milk-fed pumpkin. And the Pumpkin Train will roll again next year.

The seedy side of the modeling business
The Naked Truth About Modeling
A 16-year-old girl is on her first modeling shoot in Paris. She is unchaperoned and inexperienced. She takes a break for a cup of coffee, and a photographer follows her down the hall. She stops, and he fiddles with her clothes. Then he reaches in between her legs and gropes her. Stunned, the model says nothing. He says nothing. They walk back into the room and finish the shoot.
It's stories like these that stood out as Sara Ziff, a successful runway model, and her boyfriend, filmmaker Ole Schell, began shooting behind the scenes at Ziff's shows. For five years, they recorded parties, castings, inside hotel rooms, and backstage behind the runway as Ziff became the face of campaigns from Calvin Klein to Dolce & Gabbana. What emerged was a portrait of the dark side of the modeling world, one that most people never see: young girls, often half a world away from home, unprepared to handle the sexual objectification and frequent harassment that Ziff says is an all-too-common part of their jobs.
I started modeling at 14, after being scouted on the street walking home from school. One of my first castings was in a photographer's apartment downtown. I got there, and there was a line of models waiting at the door. I went in and he asked me to show him my book. I did, and then he said, "Well, this is a bathing-suit story, and it's a little hard for me to picture you in a bathing suit. Could you take your shirt off?" And I thought, "Well, that makes sense," so I did. And then he said, "Can you take your pants off?" And this continued to the point where I'm standing there [topless,] basically totally naked. I was 14. And in hindsight, it's crazy that I was put in that position, but I just didn't know any better.
Comment: Sick!

A Telford tangent this time, or a continuation on the theme of Highland transport (that also being what I plan to read about this month).
The pass at the Rest and Be Thankful is one of the few ways through the hills into Argyll, and an important route long before it was ever a road in the modern sense, and when the military took on the task of opening up the highlands after 1745 it would have been an obvious place for them to look at.
The original military road was built around 1750, and lasted for nearly 200 years before work on a new road began in the late 1930s. The original line was closer to the valley bottom for most of the way, so climbed steeply to the head – one of the bends at the top is in the foreground. The old road is still farm access, and used when the new road is out of action – the Arrochar Heritage trail has some nice pictures of it in use in the old days.
From the top of the pass you can see just how directly the new road cuts through the hillside – it's not particularly surprising that the hill slides down on top of it every so often. The old road did take a more natural line, even if it's a terrible pull to the top.
But the real point of my visit to the top was to find the old marker stone there.
The first stone at the top was put up by the soldiers who built the road (and presumably named it – any earlier name for the pass would likely have been in Gaelic).
The one there now is a later replacement – several places online had told me that, and so I was quite amused to discover when I actually got to the stone that the replacement itself was more than 200 years old, erected in 1814 when the road was handed over to the Commissioners of Highland Roads and Bridges, part of Telford's great project to improve access to the Highlands for more peaceful reasons.

I suppose the way to begin this plot is to introduce myself. My name is Hector and I'm a nineteen year old first year student at a university in regards to a two hour get from home. The vehicle I drove, a current year Ford Mustang was a senior high school graduation gift from my parents. Fortuitously, my children was well off indicating I'd never skilled economic worries whenever you want in my own life. My dad was a huge picture lawyer who'd rarely been home when I was rising up. Father had focused his life to attaining wealth through his career. Alexandros, often resolved as Alex, was a big, previously well developed man of Greek heritage. Through the years, Dad had morphed into a fat slob and a drunk. My mother, Angelika, also of Greek history, might have been the exact antithesis of my father. Mother was committed to your expanded household, myself, and our home.
Lifting my eyes to generally meet her gaze, I found a twinkle in her eye Free Adult Live Cams and a look, nearly, on her behalf face. Yes, Mother, correct now. My buddies were clearly unhappy to find out that our day fun have been called to a close. They were all mumbling unkind things while they collected up their points and departed. I was furious with my mother that she had uncomfortable me by sending my friends away. I was also ashamed that she'd found people within our gentle sexual flirting. And, I was more uncomfortable that she'd found me looking at her company and taut ass. Locating myself position alone at poolside, I determined to completely clean the pool. I must say i only had two chores round the house. Keep my space clean and keep consitently the pool clean in between the regular trips from the pool guy. Little time transferred before Mom returned to poolside. To my surprise, in addition to her guide and tube of sunlight monitor, Mother was also holding a glass of wine. She actually was not much of a drinker, an
a reaction to my father's overindulgence, I suppose. And, our wine cups were huge. Dad sized, I guess. From personal experience, I knew you might put lots of wine into one glass. Enough to make me tipsy anyway. Accepting Mother could be angry with me, I used myself to cleaning the pool really energetically. Of course, I took glances at my mom laying on the chaise whenever I could. I also transferred across the share to find the best views of Mom's breasts.
My last summer house before university appeared to locate me in a perpetual state of orange balls. It was the greatest summer in recorded history of our area indicating enough time was spent in the pool. A chance, no doubt, but with my buddies and their friends visiting just about every day, girls look to get themselves in a consistent competition to see who had the skimpiest swimwear, the sexiest human anatomy because swimsuit, and probably the most outrageous behaviour within their bikinis. Mom came out to Porn Xxx Chat see what the commotion was all about on one of our earliest times, to find girls performing attractive dances and flashing us from their stage on the diving board. Most of the people preferred the girls sporting one eyes, baring their pussies for a minute, but I was always a tits and ass man. Broken! Also carrying a bikini, Mother stood at the much end of the pool watching the goings on. The class recognized her nearly immediately and named aloud hellos. Of course, the amount of raunchiness on the diving panel dropped off. I was not positive if she'd observed the flashings from her angle. Maybe we were not busted. Following smiling and waving at the group, Mom made about and returned to the house, signaling me to check out her. I guess she'd seen our shenanigans following all.
While pressing forty years, she had maintained her figure. Family pictures from Mom's childhood revealed a warm small woman with major breasts, extended blondish hair to her middle, an appartment abdomen, and Porn Free Live feet that continued forever. Mom was five ten and despite having provided birth in my experience at age nineteen had maintained her determine with only a few pounds added and pouching her tummy. Her tits, 36C's I realized from snooping, looked company yet and seriousness defying. Mom's legs were extended and muscular. Her favorite footwear for formal instances were four inch stilettoes while she favored tight, type fitting gowns and dresses for many occasions. She turned her nose up at shorts and jeans. Of course, with her extended legs on display, she wore stockings almost every day. Though over the years I'd seen Mom in several phases of undress, I hardly ever really paid any focus on her in a sexual way. My girl attractions were girls I went along to school with, never having any issues locating a girlfriend. It was only in senior school while talking with some pals following class had been terminated for the day, that I started to see Mom as a sexually appealing creature. Among Live Porn Chat Room my guys directed to a hot gothic walking throughout the parki ng ton within our normal direction.
Mother desired to apologise for her behaviour earlier in the day and her pursuing my friends away. I apologised to her for disrespecting her by allowing my buddies to act that way. My mom stepped sideways of my bed and explained she wanted a hug. I sat up at the medial side of the bed and before I possibly could operate, Mother shut the length between people, dragging me limited against her for the reason that hug. My hands went around her as well. Mom was however carrying her bikini from earlier that day. And, as a result of height huge difference between people, my head was against Mom's 36C's. She'd her hands around me dragging me as firmly that you can against them. My arms were about her waist, hugging her as tightly. I don't know where I obtained the nerve to do it but I made my head in order that my lips were against certainly one of her breasts. She leaped only a little in a reaction to the distress, I guess, and instantly her ass was in my hands. Normally enough, I packed her butt cheeks.
She was looking forward to me in the kitchen. She was not smiling. Hec, you can't allow these girls do that, she said. But, Mother, they certainly were only dancing. They certainly were not merely dance, Hector. They were also flashing you boys. I do not want that happening within my house. But, Mom. My mother abandoned me. No, but mothers, she said in a tone indicating she was near to being angry. I will not own it, child! Conceding defeat, I replied, Yes, Mom. I believe you ought to send your friends house now. Mom turned and went away, making me with no possible response except to look at her wriggling ass. As stated, I am a tits and butt man. My mom had both and my ecent revelation of Mom as a sexy Sex Chat Live Cam person designed I usually respected her in a bikini. In the same way she was about to leave the area, she made suddenly, catching me dmiring her ass. Send them house today, Hector, she demanded.
Unfortunately, being dedicated to Mom's breasts, I tripped over the line of the share vacuum. Obviously, I fell into the water. When climbing out, I was positive some of Mom's laughter was at my expense. My trunks were plastered to my human body and my Mother inspired puffy was on display. I left the poolside place as easily as you can taking refuge in my room. Later that day, having dry down, I was laying on my sleep, only carrying briefs, texting my buddies and hearing music with my headset on. Capturing a thumb out of the place of my eye, I looked to see my mom ranking in the doorway. I don't understand how extended she have been position there. Her gaze seemed to be less than my eyes. Was she examining me out? Wondering Cam Sex Xxx if that has been actually probable seeme n to breathe life in to my wang since it started to develop some more.
That's one warm momma! he explained going her out. That girl describes MILF, claimed another. Holy fuck, people, that is my mother! Every one looked at each other in various levels of distress before scuttling away. Strolling as though she were on a model's runway, Mom got around me. My eyes opened by the inventors, I'd to acknowledge using their characterization of her as a MILF. From that evening onward, I sought out options to see my MILF. It didn't subject if she were in washing fits or skirts and clothes, I looked at her as a lady and perhaps not a mom in the absolute most surreptitious way I could. When she was out and I was home alone, I'd also find my nose in her underwear drawer. Literally. The perfume she wore honored her clean laundry. Her natural fragrance, or musk, adhered to her used underwear in the garments hamper.

> It's now safe to say that the Brewers are never out of any game. Despite a large early lead, they had to play comeback today, and they were successful. The Brewers managed to take a 9-7 win in a four-hour, back-and-forth contest with the Pirates.
The Brewers got off to a quick start, jumping on Wandy Rodriguez for three runs- including an Aramis Ramirez two-run blast- in the first inning. But, with a 4-0 lead in the third, Mike Fiers gave up a three-run homer to Andrew McCutchen. Fiers, who needed 81 pitches to get through just three innings, was removed after that.
After tying the game in the fourth, the Pirates rallied against Kameron Loe for three in the sixth inning, with a home run from Clint Barmes and an RBI single by Starling Marte.
Going into the eighth inning, the Bucs had a comfortable 7-3, but you could just tell the Brewers were going to mount a rally against struggling reliever Chad Qualls. And they wasted no time in doing so, as a two-run double from Norichika Aoki and a two-run triple from Rickie Weeks quickly knotted the game up at 7-7. Ramirez then gave the Brewers the lead with an RBI single. Logan Schafer tacked on an insurance run with an RBI single in the ninth as well.
John Axford nailed down the save for the second straight night, as he worked around a Jean Segura error to strike out the side.
> Segura's error in the ninth inning should have probably been charged to first baseman Travis Ishikawa. Segura's throw was slightly high, but it's a throw that Ishikawa has to be able to handle.
> After the bullpen got off to a rough start (Brandon Kintzler gave up the lead following Fiers' exit, then Loe nearly let the Pirates blow it open), they settled down nicely to shut down the Pirates for the rest of the game. Jose Veras got out of Loe's jam in the sixth, Manny Parra threw a scoreless seventh, Francisco Rodriguez handled the eighth, and Axford got another save as he continues his return to form.
> I hate to say it, but Fiers is starting to look legitimately fatigued on the mound. He hasn't pitched more than five innings in any of his last three starts. As I noted on Twitter earlier, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ron Roenicke pull the plug on his season any day now.
> Jason Grilli plunked Ryan Braun in theseventh inning- when the Pirates had a three-run lead. That drew a standing ovation from the Pittsburgh crowd. Hope they enjoyed the eighth-inning rally too.
So now I've concluded that their fanbase doesn't deserve a playoff berth, or a mere .500 season. If they act like that, they can stay in the cellar of the NL Central for the next 20 years as well- or longer.
Stay classy, Pittsburgh.
> Corey Hart made an unexpected return to the lineup today. He went 1-for-3 with a single, but it was noticeable that he was uncomfortable at the plate. Hart was removed in the fifth in exchange for Ishikawa.
> Axford said that the Zack Greinke trade "sharpened the Brewers' focus."
> Roenicke made a case for Aoki's Rookie of the Year chances.
> The Brewers' current five-game winning streak is their longest on the season.
> This is the first time all year the Brewers have been give games over .500.
> Here's the explanation for the Brewers passing up the Bucs in the standings: the Brewers have won 23 of their last 29 games. During that same stretch, the Pirates have won seven games.
> Oh, and the Pirates fell a game under .500.
> The Dodgers lost to the Nats, so the Brewers have leap-frogged them in the Wild Card race.
> The probables for the upcoming series against the Nationals:
Shaun Marcum (5-4, 3.91 ERA) vs. Edwin Jackson (9-10, 3.89 ERA)
Wily Peralta (2-0, 2.14 ERA) vs. Gio Gonzalez (19-8, 2.95 ERA)
Yovani Gallardo (16-8, 3.59 ERA) vs. ???
Marco Estrada (4-6, 3.56 ERA) vs. ???
> MLB Network's Intentional Talk interviewed Axford the other day. But I was more amused at the murderous look on Jim Henderson's face the entire time. Click here; you'll know what I mean.
> This year's edition of rookie hazing. They're supposed to be the Flintstones… I think?
