Update Notes

Since we last visited AmateurAllure...
Amateur Allure is a site that, while typical on the surface, is actually unique in the way the content is presented. While the sexy babes are the stars of the show it would not exist without Thomas, the 40-year-old guy who runs it. He finds the chicks, then films and interviews them. It's also his cock they suck (most of the time), so it's not exactly all work and no play for him.
AmateurAllure could simply be called an amateur blowjob site, but it's more than that. First off, the site looks good. The images are very crisp and the layout is simple. The content can be found in the "updates" section and the "extras" and "friends" sections hold additional vids and pics. There's a "popular" section that showcases some of the best scenes. Clicking on "BTS" brings you a blog.
There are 674 videos and 674 galleries, with updates each week. The movies can be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded in a Windows Media format, as well as MP4s for the newer ones and QuickTime files for the really old ones. The newer movies were shot in Full HD and you can save the photos, which are quite large and crisp, in Zip files.
The reason I mentioned Thomas earlier is because he's your link to the babes. Before getting down to business and getting his dick sucked, he spends some quality time chatting with the ladies and giving us a look at their lovely assets. Soon enough, the gal gets down on her knees and starts sucking his pecker until he's ready to bust his load in her mouth. Once he cums, she makes sure to show her jizzed-filled mouths to the camera.
A shot of the chick with an open mouth full of white cum is kind of Thomas's trademark, so there are plenty of slowmotion money shots to check out too. He gets to fuck some of these beauties as well and they really get a good, hard pounding. They also seem to enjoy every second, but maybe some of them are simply good at acting.
After all, the scenes are quite tame in some cases due in part to the girls' sweet innocence and the soothing instrumental background music. More of an issue is that the oral sex and cumshots can somehow seem a bit sterile. One surfer even suggested that fake jizz was used. Some of the BJ action lacks passion though, when Thomas has to patiently instruct the chick on how to deepthroat his dick.
Nevertheless, the site has a lot of good things going for it and it does have its fans. With high-quality content and stunning models, it's worth an investment of your time and money. Keep in mind that there's a 25GB download limit per day too.

This is a great site, especially if you like watching women swallow. The women are very attractive. Plus, it doesn't have all the fake moaning, etc. that most sites have.
I sign up once a year and download all the updates.
Unfortunately, some of the women don't get completely nude like they used to years ago, but it still well worth joining.

FAKE CUM! The owner claims "100% swallow" but every money shot is interrupted before the swallow and video stitched later on. Girls swallow something else. Claim is they do it to "take photos" but this is BS as we all know nobody gives a damn about photos and their photos suck anyway. Fake cum is so old. Nothing new on this site stay away until they show real money shot.
Reply from RabbitsReviews (Date:10/27/2014): Hi, Pro. This is the first we've heard of fake cum on Amateur Allure and previous comments left state they are real. It's a very popular site that has been going for a long time. We'll take a closer look during the next updated review.

This is one of the best bj and swallowing sites I've ever come across. Have been a member over the years multiple times. Girls are consistently fresh, beautiful,sexily dressed and made-up, the rapport generally seems genuine (aside, of course, from the "role playing" scenes), and it's one of the few swallowing sites that nearly ALWAYS delivers (usually twice in an episode!) -- no "cheats" or cum dodging at all! And there's enough variety -- intercourse as well as bjs, role-playing, two girls, etc. -- to keep it from getting monotonous. Most of the girls seem like "good girls" and the host actually treats them with respect, which I think is refreshing and hot. Hands down this is one of my favorite go-to BJ/swallowing sites. A few girls on the site have gone on to porn careers (or are at the start of it), and generally this site catches them before it seems to have become a job for the gir.

Just checked back into this site, what a change! Photos
can't be previewed but must be downloaded as a complete zip
file. While the photography is sharp the posing of the shots leave a lot to be desired. Cutting off the top of the models head
and/or not getting her to look directly at the camera with that glazed look is disappointing. Also downloading leaves a lot
to be desired. For the price there is better.

This site has good some higher video's but I doubt they're HD, and the cap of 25GB is not true. If you try to download a lot of their video's they cut you off. The movies you watch are included with the downloads and after you hit 25GB you can no longer access the site for 24 hours. They send you threatening emails telling you that you are trying to download their entire library. And "Thomas" then insults you by making remarks about you masturbating.

Does NOT have videos in 1080p full HD! Your review is inaccurate and I wasted my money joining the site. It has only poor quality 720p videos and average length is actually 15 mins rather than 25+ mins as stated in your review.
Reply from RabbitsReviews (Date:09/03/2013): Thanks for the comment, Imran. We consider a site to have HD videos if they have a minimum resolution of 1280x720 and encoding of 2,000 kbps or higher. The review doesn't note the videos having 1080p full HD.

I want to put in a good word for Allure. There are really few porn sites like it. There is a certain intimate and amateurish quality to the films, of what appear to be mostly natural women in normal clothing. It is a relief to see something other than the typical over produced, over acted, hammer head style of porn. There is some teasing to begin and a slow, sensual blow job usually ensues - mesmerizing. Also, there are real expressions of pleasure on the face of the actresses that are artfully captured. This might be for you or not, but I found the site to be a real jewel despite some of the negatives that are discussed by others.

This site features good looking girls that don't seem to be regular performers (for the most part) giving head and getting screwed. The theme of the site is blowjobs and swallowing cum. Blowjobs longer than sex. Like guy said below, the distinct "POV" feel has been watered down, period, from what it used to be a few years ago. Updates happen at a much slower pace than several years ago. In short, the positive is pretty girls and the niche emphasis on amateur blowjobs/swallowing if it's your thing.
The decline in the site's overall standard is more than enough to complete a summary of the "cons" (lack of updates, suspect download and streaming availability, more robotic style of the shooots from what few updates there are).
Worth trying if you haven't, but ultimately a big setback from how the site used to be run.

They block you as soon as you download something, apparently they dont want you to download with download managers or download "too fast" or "too much" or maybe they just dont want you to download anything. As several review said below, this is scam. I rate their content 10/100 because they have a couple of good ones. Beware that many HD videos are just plain SD videos encoded into 1080P. This is another scam.

This site is SCAM, beware. They have tiny amount of content that you can download in just a couple days even with their 25 GB/day limit. However, as soon as you download your first movie, they will block you without reason. You complain, they give you access and then they block you again after downloading only one movie. Finally they cancel you out with no refund. This way they are making it impossible to download anything. Typical scam. Stay away!
Reply from RabbitsReviews (Date:08/13/2012): The large daily download limit is mostly to prevent people from site ripping. You can contact us by one of the methods above if you'd like us to look into the issue. We've found the site doesn't block without cause, but mistakes can happen.

For an "Amateur" site, this one is pretty good. Good quality videos, energetic women and hardly a "gonzo" moment. To label this an "Amateur" site, is really to miss the other themes: sperm swallowing, blow-jobs, a good hard fucking, all from a POV style production. No "man-ass" (or man faces), it's all about the girls: the girls giving bjs, the girls swallowing the load, the girls getting a good fucking. There are some issues with lighting, like the "white ring" around the pupils of the girl's eyes. Strange, but not too distracting. All-in-all, a really good site for what you get. A++

First the good. Very nice looking top shelf models. Very cute with a fresh "girl next door" look to them.
Now the bad. The photography is horribly washed out. WAAAAYYYY too much lighting. Also the site had a download limit that as far as I know is still in effect but I could be wrong. Also most of the pop shots are limited to mouth shots. This is just a personal preference but I'd much rather see these lovely faces covered in goo.
Overall I would say this is about average. The hot models are definitely outweighed by the poor photography and download limits.

I can't offer any pros about the site, because it's impossible to actually access the site after paying and joining. On two different occasions over the past few years, I have bit the bullet and paid for the one month subscription, only to find out that the site basically locks me out. I can't even log in. I get redirected to an error page every single time, informing me that my account has been suspended due to too many incorrect login attempts (which isn't possible since it was my first login and I used complex alphanumeric user name and password combinations), or from excessive downloads (which is also impossible since I've never been able to login in the first place, much less download anything.
Sure the models are beautiful, but what good is it if you can't even log in?
My advice is to avoid this website completely. Furthermore, I believe the whole thing is just a scam. The beautiful girls in the sample videos are meant to entice people to pay for a subscription, and then you get locked out and redirected to a bogus error page.
Amateur Allure is a scam.

The best thing about the site has to be the quality of the models who are nearly all pretty to stunning in quality, a few well known faces but mostly they just seem to be everyday pretty girls having fun. The photos are mostly good , though in places some are bizarre with one of the girls eyes being in focus and the other being out of focus, there are more face photos than anything else. generally 60-100 photos for each girl. In some cases there are zips and on other cases no zips.
The videos each follow the same formula some talking, a blow job , followed by a straight gentle fuck and come in her mouth, sometimes the last bits are repeated twice.

I've been a repeat customer of this site for about a decade, coming back from time to time when I spot a girl that strikes my fancy. I have enjoyed watching the evolution of this site -- especially the introduction of Ray. Clearly a student of Thomas, Ray has brought some seriously nice babes to the table and presented them quite nicely. It's obvious he sticks with the theme of the site but I really enjoy a lot of his unique angles while pounding these girls. Not a huge fan of POV, so a lot of his static camera work appeals to me. In fact, it would be fantastic to see Amateur Allure scenes shot entirely in the third person. My only other gripe is that I would love to see a bit of anal/assplay in the scenes.

Baked Dutch Cream potatoes with sour cream and horseradish
This is a variation on traditional baked potatoes, with an extra, crisp textural dimension. Fresh horseradish really makes the difference here, adding depth of flavour and a subtle touch of heat. You can use any good baking potato.
Add a twist to a traditional side of baked potatoes. Photo: Marina Oliphant
16 medium Dutch Cream potatoes, skin on
600g rock salt
vegetable oil for deep frying
flaked salt
freshly ground pepper
200g sour cream
1 horseradish root
1. Cover the base of a baking tray with rock salt and place potatoes on top. Bake for 1 hour at 180C, remove from oven to cool.
2. Take potatoes off the salt and break open with fingers lengthways, leaving them roughly butterflied.
3. Deep-fry at 180C until golden, about 4 minutes. Don't crowd the fryer, as you want the potatoes to remain split so that all the rough edges become crisp. Frying with the cut side facing down helps to keep them open.
4. Place potatoes on a platter, season with salt and pepper, dollop on sour cream and grate horseradish over the top.

LEWISTON, Idaho – Washington State football opened fall practice with a two-hour workout in helmets and shorts at Sacajawea Middle School Saturday afternoon.
The Cougars opened practice by working through their similar routine of individual position workouts, a 1-vs.-1 drill while the lines went against each other in the running game drill, 7-vs.-7, before working punt coverage and wrapping up with 11-vs.-11 team.
In the team session, the defense held the upperhand early on as cornerback Tracy Clark broke up a pass attempt over the middle and defensive lineman Xavier Cooper later swarmed a ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage. Later in the series, linebacker Jeremiah Allison blew up a screen play, bringing big a celebration from the defensive players.
With quarterback Connor Halliday at the controls, the first-team offense settled in as Halliday connected with wideout Gabe Marks in traffic for a first down. Halliday later completed a deep pass to wide receiver Dom Williams for a big gain and he also hit wideout Calvin Green in stride for a first down.
Later in the series, safety Taylor Taliulu picked off Halliday near the goaline but Halliday came right back with a touchdown throw to wide receiver River Cracraft.
The following series was quarterbacked by redshirt-freshman Luke Falk who connected on a couple short passes to wideout Vince Mayle and to a sliding Green. Later in the drive, the defense produced a couple pass break-ups before Falk hit running back Gerard Wicks out of the backfield for a short touchdown catch.
The Cougars continue fall camp Sunday at 2:30 p.m. with another practice in helmets and shorts.

As an Assistant District Attorney, Anonymous Prosecutor has specialized in prosecuting crimes against women, including sex crimes, domestic violence and child abuse, as well as homicide, in New York City and its suburbs.
Now that Rihanna and Chris Brown have reconciled, it begs the question: will the assault case against Chris Brown go forward? His court date is scheduled for March 5, and the District Attorney's office in L.A. has gone on record saying that they will do "further investigation" in an attempt to get all the evidence in order.
Domestic violence cases are notoriously hard to prosecute because the victims are often unwilling to cooperate. It's unclear whether Rihanna will testify against Brown. Their reconciliation would indicate that–for better or for worse–she's forgiven him for the assault (I should probably throw in a few "allegedlys" there, but it seems indisputable at this point that the assault took place and that Chris Brown was the perpetrator).
I asked our resident expert on domestic violence, Anonymous Prosecutor, to answer a few basic questions about what might happen to this case:
Q: Can the D.A. prosecute Chris Brown if Rihanna refuses to testify?
A: The D.A. can absolutely prosecute Chris Brown without Rihanna's testimony. A good D.A.'s office will prosecute domestic violence offenders even if the victim does not cooperate. The defendant must still be held accountable for what he did, and he poses a threat to women that he may abuse in the future.
Q: If she doesn't take the stand, do they still have a case?
A: The prosecutor can proceed as it does with a murder case, in which the victim is not present (for obvious reasons). Convictions are obtained through other evidence – 911 calls, medical records, physcial evidence from the crime scene, other witnesses, etc.
Q: Can Rihanna be compelled to testify? Or prosecuted if she doesn't co-operate with the D.A.?
A: The victim can be compelled to testify, but this is hardly ever done for victims of domestic violence, especially where there is other evidence that can be used against the defendant. The punishment for refusing to testify is jail time, which is not sought for victims of domestic violence except in rare cases.

Well, I finally went and did it.
Firstly, I am a serious traditionalist. ALL my guns are wood-stocked. My most often shot firearms are flintlocks. But for a while now, I've kinda convinced myself I should have a general purpose rifle. One that is purely a tool. So last Friday, I went to the gun shop with cash in hand and left with a Savage 11 Trophy Hunter XP.
Bolt-action, .308 Winchester, 22" barrel, detachable magazine, adj. trigger, synthetic stock, Nikon 3-9x scope with the BDC reticle.
This will be a GP rig. Deer, wild hogs, black bear, coyotes, rural self-defense, sniper rifle for the ____ Apocalypse, etc.
I will be mounting iron sights, getting a couple more magazines and maybe cutting the barrel down a bit (to 19" +/-) and getting it threaded.
I may get a Scout mount just to have the option. In which case, I'd use a receiver-mounted peep rear sight.
The only issue now, is finding ammo. Around here, .308 is mighty scarce.

LDS March into the Quarter Finals
Posted: 15.01.13
Luton & Dunstable Squash Club marched into the Quarter Finals of the National Club Championships with an impressive victory over Edgbaston Priory on Saturday 12th January.
Marking only its second season in the competition, LDS claimed a dramatic win over the Midland giants in an afternoon of high drama and top quality squash.
Played at Active Luton's Lewsey Sports Park, the tie started unconventionally with the No.1s. LDS' Daryl Selby, the World No.11 faced EP's Chris Ryder, the World No.37 on Court 2. Meanwhile LDS' Adam Auckland took on Tom Ford on Court 3.
Understandably the crowd gathered around Court 2 where Selby won fairly routinely in 3, however, the real battle was on Court 3. Eventually Auckland defeated Ford in what proved to be a tight, thrilling 3-1 match.
Next on court for LDS were captain, Steve Davies, and Marc Woolhead against Lee James and Chris Truswell respectively. Both LDS players got off to a good start winning their first, but then Woolhead fell away, ultimately losing 3-1.
Davies, however, took the second to bring a remarkable match victory within touching distance. James had other ideas and fought back bravely to level at 2 each making the home crowd very nervous! With the game on the line, Davies managed to reverse the momentum with some fine squash, delivering a win and LDS the match with one game to spare.
In the dead rubber, East Region Academy player Harry Faulkner defeated World No.195, John Geekie 3-0 to close the match in real style, handing LDS a 4-1 match victory.
LDS now face Coolhurst Tennis & Squash Club in the Quarter Finals.
Captain Steve Davies said afterwards, "That was a great win. We felt we had a chance coming into the match and with the big, enthusiastic support here we managed to pull it off. There is now a real belief within the team that we can really challenge for this cup".

Running dry: Nearly two-thirds of the country is now officially suffering from this summer's massive drought. In some parts of the Midwest, residential wells are drying up, making it hard for people to wash the dishes, flush the toilet, or take a shower -- which you definitely want to do when it's this hot, dry, and dusty outside. New York Times
Pipeline pouting: So let's say you're this big Canadian company that operates a massive pipeline system for shipping tar sands oil to U.S. refineries and wants to build even more. Isn't it annoying when government regulators -- in your own country no less -- are all like, hey, let's make sure your pipelines meet basic safety standards, and then you go and ask again because you really don't want to do what they say, and still they're all like, no, it's not OK for you to just go ahead and do what you want without following the rules. I mean don't you just hate that? Life's so unfair to giant corporations sometimes. UPI
Judge not...: On the other hand, things are going pretty well for TransCanada in Texas. A judge ruled this week that the pipeline company can seize a strip of land from a farmer for its Keystone XL pipeline, angering everyone from environmental activists who think the pipeline project is going forward without proper safeguards to Tea Party organizations that hate eminent domain. Washington Post
Can't we all just get along?: We're big fans of legendary biologist E.O. Wilson around here (see Elizabeth Kolbert's interview with him in our Winter 2011 issue), and we're also quite fond of sometime contributor Emma Marris, whose recent book The Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World argues that attempting to preserve "nature" in a pristine, pre-human state is an impossible goal that we need to let go of (see our interview with her, too). Wilson, however, is apparently not a big fan of Marris's position, and when they shared a panel at the Aspen Environment Forum recently, he accused her of planting a white flag. Someone else we like, contributor Michelle Nijhuis, argues that Wilson gets it wrong, and Marris's approach to conservation is actually anything but a surrender. The Last Word on Nothing
Harsh light: Scary fact: there are more tanning salons in the U.S. than McDonald's restaurants. And now the $4.9 billion industry is fighting back against critics by trying to discredit doctors and health groups (who warn fake tanning can be dangerous) as part of a "sun scare" conspiracy. In one training video for salon employees, God condemns a dermatologist to hell (along with a bottle of sunscreen) for daring to suggest that excessive sunbed use could cause skin cancer.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it can cost more than $200,000 to raise a child these days - and that's just up until age 17, even though many large expenses faced by parents (such as college tuition) come after that point.
The government's figure only includes basic essentials like housing, food and healthcare. It's easy to imagine how the figure would skyrocket if you started adding in extras and luxury items. Which is why parents need to cut corners wherever they can - and you can start with items like these that your kids can easily live without. (Deciding whether to leave an inheritance for your children impacts the amount you save. Learn more, in Leaving Inheritance To Children Easier Said Than Done.)

Junk Food
Dr. Michael Applebaum of Chicago said, "From a financial side, eating healthily is cheaper than eating unhealthily. And it sure is cheaper to keep a kid safe from the ravages of overweight/obesity than it is to rescue and repair them later."
Not to mention, fast food and junk food tends to be among the most expensive items in the grocery store. (If you keep to your planned list of needed foods, you won't be tempted when you get forced down the junk food aisle to get at the milk. Find out more, in 22 Ways To Fight Rising Food Prices.)
Electronic Games and Gadgets
Okay, this one might get an argument from parents as well as kids, but some parenting experts say it is possible - and beneficial - for kids to live without high-tech toys. Sheri Wallace, editor of Road Trips for Families, is wrapping up the tail-end of a six-week family road trip, one that involved no DVD players or other electronics, with the exception of GPS units for geocaching activities.
"Based on the past few weeks, I can say that kids definitely don't need these gadgets," says Wallace, adding, "This trip is going to change a lot of the purchases in our house."
Over-the-Top Sweet-16 Parties
Despite what they see on TV, most kids don't need a gigantic blowout for their 16th birthday. Many parents go all out and end up with a party that costs the same as a wedding, with total bills in the tens of thousands, including DJs, hall rentals and extravagant gifts.
"If you're paying for it until they're 21, it really isn't worth it," says Jen Singer, editor-in-chief of MommaSaid.net. "They'll survive with a cake at the roller rink. Really." (It's an international phenomenon: the kids that won't go away. Read more, in Why Some Kids Never Leave The Nest.)
Personal Sports Training
In recent years, it's become trendy for parents to hire sports trainers - perhaps even retired pro athletes - to get their kids in shape or sharpen their skills on the field. This is another high-priced indulgence you can easily cut from your budget, Singer says. "Some of the best soccer players in the world came from some of the poorest neighborhoods in their countries, thereby proving that all you need is a ball and a passion for sports to get ahead."
New Halloween Costumes
Your child won't want to be the same thing two years in a row, so this is a one-time use item that's often not worth the cost. Jessica Katz of MommyDontBuyThat.com says, "There comes a Halloween frenzy - people are already securing their costumes now." At an average price of around $50 new, Halloween costumes are something you should buy on eBay or at a consignment store, Katz says. (It's Halloween, and adults and children alike have been browsing costume shops for teeth, fake scars and the occasional severed hand - but who are the real monsters? Read The Ghouls On Wall Street to find out.)
Baby Shoes & Designer Duds for Pre-Schoolers
If your little one is not even walking yet, there's no reason you need to buy expensive shoes. "I have spent a fortune on baby shoes for my seven-month-old daughter," says Katz, who estimates the average cost for the most popular styles of baby shoes are around $30. "The shoes just fall off anyway, and the baby outgrows them every two or three months."
And while we agree, those trendy denim-looking diapers may look cute, your baby doesn't know the difference. Plain old regular diapers work just as well, and are easier on your budget. Same thing goes for toddler clothes by famous designers. Unless your child hangs with some pretty sophisticated youngsters, it's unlikely they will care what label is on his jeans.
The Bottom Line
It's expensive enough to raise a child. Don't add to the cost by springing for trendy or frivolous stuff your child doesn't need. (If your retirement plan hasn't worked out, at least your children can learn from your mistakes. Read Retirement Lessons To Teach Your Children to find out more.)

Inside the New York Times today, reporter Gardiner Harris reports on how federal regulators have found that all four women who died after taking the RU-486 abortion drug cocktail "suffered from a rare and highly lethal bacterial infection." This is certainly not a story the major media has shown much interest in. They did major stories (hawking liberal interest groups) warning about fat-free Pringles and taco shells made of genetically engineered corn, but major corporations that make surgery-free abortions possible? The corporate watchdog suddenly is a harmless, quiet pooch. Harris reported "officials from the F.D.A. and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have decided to convene a scientific meeting early next year to discuss this medical mystery, according to two drug agency officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic."The story centers on the death of teenaged Holly Patterson, whose father Monty is pictured and has campaigned to get the drug's safety investigated. (The media near-blackout of her story is chronicled here.) While Harris gives time to Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America, "a conservative group," he does not consider a label for the spokesman for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, although he does describe them as "the nation's largest provider of abortions." You could also call them "the nation's largest profit center for abortions." The McDonald's of the abortion industry.UPDATE: CJR Daily moans and complains about the inclusion of CWA's Wendy Wright and her "partisan" take in the Times story. She's a "partisan infection."

Easy Transport Services Brochure
Licences for Older Drivers
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) is entrusted to ensure the NSW roads are as safe as possible.
Annual Testing
From the age of 75 years the RTA requires drivers undergo an annual medical check to ensure that they are medically fit to drive. The RTA will contact drivers eight weeks before their birthday each year with a medical report to be completed by a doctor.
In addition, once a driver reaches 85 years of age the RTA requires on-road driving tests to be completed every 2 years (e.g. 85, 87, 89 etc). Alternatively the driver may apply for a modified licence.
Licence Options
If you believe your driving skills, or those of someone you know, have deteriorated with age there are some licence options available.
For example if an older person has competent driving skills but can no longer manage more challenging situations (driving long distances, in heavy traffic, or at night) the RTA can place restrictions on their licence which might allow them to only drive locally or at certain times of the day. A practical assessment is not required for a modified licence, even if the driver is 85 years or older.
Alternatively if an older person no longer wants to drive they can return their licence to the RTA.
Contact the RTA for more information:

WASHINGTON -- Alex Ovechkin scored on a wrist shot at 4:09 of overtime, and the Washington Capitals came back to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 Thursday to snap a three-game losing streak.
Ovechkin is a two-time NHL MVP mired in his poorest season. He celebrated the end of his four-game point drought by racing over to leap into the boards.
Washington trailed 2-1 late in the third period, before Marcus Johansson forced overtime by scoring with 3:58 left.
Ovechkin's goal ruined the first NHL start by Lightning goalie Dustin Tokarski, who played quite well most of the evening. The 22-year-old Canadian was recalled from Norfolk of the AHL on Wednesday, a day after Mathieu Garon got injured in a game.

neck gasket
i bought this in december and have paddled it maybe a total of 10 times and already the neck gasket is ripping. i wear a small so i even ordered a medium but obviously even the extra neoprene did not help i will be sending mine back and getting one with a rubber neck gasket
What size wrist gaskets are on the men's...
What size wrist gaskets are on the men's small? Also, if you can find a date on the gaskets I'd like to know what it is. Thanks
Sorry, I couldn't find a date, but I did find some sort of print. Not sure what it means since there is no date on it. The wrist gasket size on the Small is Small, so if you don't have increadibly skinny wrists then this probably won't fit you right. Also the Neck gasket is Neoprene and is incredibly tight. It seems to not bother me too much with my little chicken neck, but I would rather have a Latex neck gasket. You can trim those so they don't strangle you while your playing. :)

Hi all,
What a day! Was flying along nicely riding through Hidden Valley and got a flat on the back tire. No big deal. Changed it out and continued onward. Ten minutes later, I heard a bang! and a huge amount of noise. I had picked up a giant nail in the same tire! I notice that the rim tape is also punctured through, 'cause the nail was long. Do I need to replace that tape?

Liverpool's £6.5 million target fuels speculation!
Sunderland stopper Simon Mignolet has fuelled talk of a move to Liverpool in the summer window by admitting he cannot face another relegation battle with the black cats.
A double player-of-the-year winner, the Belgium keeper was a key figure in ensuring Sunderland remained in the Barclays Premier League but is in no hurry to repeat the experience next season.
Speaking on international duty, he was quizzed about growing rumours he could be on his way this summer, with Liverpool now ahead of Arsenal in the race to sign him.
'I am ambitious, and I read the press as you do,' he replied. 'It has been a difficult season with Sunderland. It's not much fun to play bottom of the League, and I think Sunderland will know they have to change something to prevent another season like that.' (Daily Mail)
The reds have been linked with a lot of players and it will be interesting to see who arrives. But Pepe Reina is going nowhere, so is there a need for the reds to make a move for another stopper?

The Andorian Academy was a prestigious Andorian art school, considered by many to be the best in the United Federation of Planets.
Aspiring Trill artist, Norvo Tigan, the brother of Ezri Tigan, applied to the Andorian Academy in the mid-24th century. According to the Academy's response letter, his work was "amateurish". This would lead Norvo to give up on his pursuit of becoming an artist, which he would later only consider a "hobby". (DS9: "Prodigal Daughter")

Dear Friends,
The potential viability of a Skylight Refractor Yahoo group has been mentioned to me on more than one occasion, so I decided that if a group like this were to exist, it would be best if it was in my name and hands With this in mind, I'd like to introduce the Skylight Refractor Yahoo group.
If you are into such things, please join and take part to help me get the group going. I hope it can be good opportunity for owners & users to communicate, and also an place where anyone who is considering buying one of my designs can find answers to any questions they may have.
I expect this group to be slow at first, but over time I hope it will evolve into an interesting resource. If you find my designs of interest, I hope to see you there.
Thanks for reading.

Happy Holidays all --
I have both a Trek 7.3 FX and a Specialized Rockhopper, and have a 10 mile commute three days a week. The commute is downtown Lansing, MI, and I'm not too sure on the road conditions. The current way I go is with traffic, but I'm thinking I'll get on a back road once the snow hits for the extra protection of not having many cars around me.
I made plans to ride the Trek down to work because it's a commuter and I think it has room for fenders and a rack, possibly converting it to a fixie (it might not have horizontal dropouts :eek: ). If I rode the Trek, I'd get some different tires and add the rack, lights, etc.
Would the Rockhopper be a better alternative for me? It's slower, but the tires are fatter and I would think there'd be less problems falling. Also - what about the shocks and components on these bikes? If I rode the Trek as a fixie, or a SS, it would be minimal maintenance.
Thanks for all the help!

Hi All,
We are a company that actually collects spam for analysis. What I would like to do is to forward all of our catchall and other spam lover accounts to a server on our private network. My Zimbra installation has an interface on the public Internet as well as one on a private network (10.1.1.0/24).
It seems like postfix wants to do a dns lookup on any mail transfers. I have tried adding the private network to "mynetworks" but it still does not work. Is the only solution doing a split DNS Setup? Any other ways to simply forward mail to an ip address on the private network?

I will be able to wear this jacket day or night because the sequins are not too sparkly, more of a slight shimmer. Will love wearing this jacket for years to come!

This is a sequin jacket that can be worn in the day to the night. It can be dressed up or down because the sequins do not look to glitzy or disco ball dated. The chevron pattern keeps the look fresh and new. Tons of sequins make it a little stiff so it is not good for heavy daily use. Fit is true to size and run true to BCBG's standard fit.

Schmit launches first solo tour
But he's severed no ties with Eagles
Timothy B. Schmit is surely not the first musician whose first solo tour includes a stop at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, where he performs Monday night with his new, four-man, three-woman band.
But he is undoubtedly the first to launch his first solo tour 25 years after the release of his first solo album. He is also the first whose debut at the 600-capacity Belly Up with his new band will be followed, in April, by three nights at the 17,680-capacity Hollywood Bowl with his longtime band.
That band is, of course, The Eagles, and therein lies the rub.
As the singing bassist in The Eagles from 1977 to 1980 (when the group imploded) and consistently since its "Hell Freezes Over" reunion tour in 1994, Schmit is a member of one of the biggest-selling acts in pop-music history. Moreover, The Eagles are still flying so high that its 2008 tour grossed a whopping $73.4 million. (A joint tour of stadiums and arenas by The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac is planned for next year. No dates have been announced yet.)
But as a solo artist, it's a different story for Schmit, 62, whose fifth and newest album, "Expando," is easily his best effort yet.
"I'm a tough sell," he acknowledged by phone from a tour stop in Seattle. "I'm this older guy with what I think is a really good solo album out, but I don't have a long history of (solo) mega hits, although I've had a really great career. I'm known mostly as the bass player and singer in a couple of bands, or one specifically, now. To try and market me has got to be a challenge, especially in such a youth-oriented society."
Schmit joined The Eagles in 1977. He replaced the band's original bassist, Randy Meisner, whom he had also replaced in 1969 in the country-rock band Poco. His current tour, on which he primarily plays acoustic guitar, not bass, is the first of his career in which he is the writer and lead singer of virtually every song. He chuckled when asked if it was scary to finally step into the spotlight.
"It is a little frightening, but it's been really cool," Schmit said. "I'm not telling you I feel young, but I have this new energy in my musical career that is really exciting to me. Here I am, in my early 60s, doing something new and having a great time."
Released by Lost Highway Records (whose roster also includes Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams), "Expando" was recorded entirely at Schmit's home studio in Los Angeles. It features such diverse guest artists as Graham Nash, Keb' Mo', gospel vocal greats the Blind Boys of Alabama, and on the swing-tinged blues lament "Downtime," Kid Rock, Dwight Yoakam and jazz vibraphone great Gary Burton.
"I floated a couple of these songs past (The Eagles), but nothing took hold. So I said, 'Fine, I'll just put them in my pocket,' " recalled Schmit, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Eagles in 1998.
"I wrote and recorded these songs for my own pleasure, almost like a hobby. I didn't have to make them fit into any parameters or listen to anybody's critiques, and that was really great. That's not a comment about my other job, because ... The Eagles have given me a wonderful life. I have the best of both worlds."
Timothy B. Schmit
Born: Oct. 30, 1947, in Oakland
First band: Tim, Tom & Ron in 1962.
Next bands: The Contenders, The New Breed, Glad

Alan Saville on a flint-knapper burial in a long barrow

Entombed with the tools of his trade
Alan Saville recalls finding the skeleton of a flint-knapper in a barrow in the Cotswolds
My fondest memory of a find is the Neolithic flint-knapper burial that I found during the excavation of the Hazleton North chambered tomb on the Cotswolds in 1981.
I was a field officer then with the regional archaeological unit for Avon, Gloucestershire and Somerset, and we managed to get funding from the Department of the Environment to undertake a complete excavation of a Cotswold-Severn tomb. The risk to scheduled ancient monuments from ploughing was a great cause for concern at the time - as it still is today - and we had carried out a survey of monuments in the Cotswolds, ranking them in order of threat. Among the long barrows, Hazleton North came top of the list.
The tomb was a bump in the middle of the field, and it was being completely ploughed over. The site had not been excavated before, and the DoE people were in a Catch-22, as it was difficult for them to make the case to stop the farmer from ploughing it - even though it was scheduled - without any other information known about the site.
The irony of a rescue excavation is that, in physical terms, the monument is now completely gone - as Mortimer Wheeler said, all excavation is destruction. But the justification depends on the quality of the record, and science now knows far more about this Cotswold-Severn tomb than it does about any of the others.
Hazleton North is a chambered tomb with two chambered areas and a false entrance. We first stripped off all the ploughsoil and exposed this huge scatter of stone from the cairn. You could see immediately where the chambered areas were, because you could see the tops of the orthostats - the standing slabs that define the chambered areas.
At the entrance to the chamber on the north side, there'd been a collapse of stonework which had prevented any further burials taking place on that side, so they'd started to pile up burials in the entrance itself. And the final one was an extended inhumation - a very rare thing in a long barrow. They'd swept aside the bones of the previous occupants to make room for this chap, a male between 30 and 45 years old. And underneath his right elbow there was a very large flint core, and just where his left hand was there was a pebble hammerstone. So he was a flint-knapper, and he was buried with the tools of his trade.
And he was remarkably well preserved, given the fact that his skull was less than 50 cm below the surface of the ploughsoil, protected by just a thin layer of crushed stone.
It is very rare to find personal grave goods with individuals within chambered tombs, because although they may have been buried originally with grave goods they would generally all become disturbed. As a rule, in chambered tombs all the bones are higgledy-piggledy. But what we had here was the final burial in this area, which was then sealed and never disturbed since. It was just fantastic to find this skeleton, an extended inhumation in this small area, which was well preserved, with personal grave goods, and radiocarbon dated to 5,500 years ago.
The way of excavating this sort of discovery is to get people to lie on planks over the stonework, lean down and gradually pick off the pieces of fragmentary stone until you uncover the skeleton - very much brush and toothpick kind of work rather than trowelling. Although I was directing the excavation I certainly had a go at physically uncovering the bones. I couldn't resist.
A Cotswold-Severn tomb is one of the classic sites of British prehistory, and to have an opportunity to excavate one completely was such a treat, and a privilege. Only one other has been completely excavated in recent years - Ascott-under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire - but that one has not yet been published.

Apocalypse Sow Is Dinner and a Movie, Together!
Plus: "Ryan and Jason's Excellent Vegan Adventure."
If you miss Monkey Town, the restaurant that paired pig dishes with swine cinema, here's a chance to experience something similar. Shira Levine, the hostess of that barracuda revenge dinner, is teaming up with New York Vintners to produce a trio of dinner-and-a-movie events. At "Apocalypse Sow" on April 1, Charlie Sheen's favorite flick will be screened while chef Ryan Smith operates (according to the invite) "without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct," all in the interest of terminating his food with extreme prejudice. (See the menu below to find out exactly what that means.)

"Ryan and Jason's Excellent Vegan Adventure" will of course be a vegan dinner, possibly involving vegan musicians, and to prepare for it, partner Shane Benson is telling Facebook friends that he and Smith are cutting out meat and dairy: "We will both eat strict vegan diets two weeks prior to our six course vegan banquet paired with six amazing organic/biodynamic wines while we regale everyone with our trials and tribulations of being vegan." You can see the menu here.

America's richest brothers Charles (pictured) and David Koch are rarely out of the headlines, but October's accusations were more serious than the usual implications of secret electioneering. Shortly before the presidential election, liberal political magazine In These Times obtained and published a packet
of voting information sent to 45,000 employees of Koch Industries paper
subsidiary Georgia-Pacific. The materials included a list of
Koch-endorsed candidates — those who "have received support from a Koch
company or Koch PAC", the company's political action committee. For
Oregon staffers, that list was comprised solely of Republicans: 14 of
them at state level, plus the Romney/Ryan presidential ticket. Koch Industries denied any partisanship, but said the company supported "market-based policies and economic freedom."

February, 2011 Conference
The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, in partnership with the Evelyn M. Duvall Endowment, held the biennial Duvall Family Studies Conference in February, 2011.
Johanne Valois Shoffstall, founder of Parenting Coordination and Mediation Services, Inc., is an attorney licensed by the Florida Bar since 1994. For over 15 years, she has been a litigator practicing exclusively in the field of family related matters, including parenting issues, property division, also known as equitable distribution, alimony, child support, domestic violence and more.
Johanne Valois Shoffstall is a member of
- The Florida Bar (Family Law Section)
- United States Federal Court, Middle District of Florida
- Hillsborough County Bar (Family Law Section)
- American Inns of Courts (Family Law Chapter)
- Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and its Florida Chapter
She is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator and is qualified as a Parenting Coordinator in accordance with section 61.125, Florida Statutes, which took effect October 1, 2009.
Over the course of the last 16 years, she has litigated hundreds of family law cases, involving countless family issues, including high conflict parenting issues, equitable distribution, child support, alimony, domestic violence and attorneys fees.
Johanne Valois Shoffstall firmly believes that education about the various interdisciplinary fields related to the various aspects of family issues is necessary for people to become and remain empowered to maintain control of their lives. While the law provides for some relief in many situations, the courts should be used as a last resort.
The theme of the conference, A Community for the Ages, showcased research and practice innovations that address individual or family well-being at any stage of development. Conference speakers from across the U.S. as well as the Sarasota region promoted and explicated evidence-based practices, especially interdisciplinary efforts. The conference brought together scholars, practitioners, educators, policymakers, advocates, and local and national organizations to enhance the integration of theory, research, and direct practice.
The conference featured presentations and workshops reflecting scholarly work or practice-based projects pertaining to work with children and families within almost any venue. The conference offered papers, posters, and workshops from various disciplines and from a broad range of topics including but not limited to
- Criminology
- Family Interventions
- Social Justice
- Education
- Social Work
- Interdisciplinary Work
- Administration or Business
- Collaborations Among Practitioners or Agencies/Organizations
Attendance and Presentation
Registrations included faculty from the USF System as well as from neighboring universities (University of Central Florida, Eckert College at St. Petersburg Florida). Six states were represented by speakers (Texas, Maryland, Minnesota, Florida, Wisconsin, New York) and 116 participants attended the conference. University researchers as well as community practitioners and administrators offered workshops and seminars. Certificates of attendance were awarded to students for use in their portfolios or resumes. Evaluations of the conference were overwhelmingly positive and yielded important ideas for future symposia.
Events Programming
The USFSM Faculty and Support Staff continue to plan upcoming conference events. See the Call for Papers and Event Information to answer any questions about upcoming symposia.

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health [COSHH]
Work with substances which are hazardous to health must only be undertaken once suitable workplace controls have been put in place. In order to determine the nature of these controls such work must be the subject of a risk assessment (sometimes called a COSHH assessment).
This page contains links to the relevant section of the University's Manual of Safety which tells you how to carry out a COSHH assessment and how to establish a 'Safe System of Work' around people working with hazardous substances.
|Forms for Carrying out an Assessment
|The University's Manual of Safety: COSHH
|The COSHH Assessment Process
|The COSHH Regulations http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l5.pdf
Worksheet for Biological Agents (micro-organisms, cell cultures or human endoparasites)
|HSE guidance on use of respirators http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/hsg53.pdf
|COSHH Summary sheet
|RPE approval form
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need to replace all my old style COSHH assessments with the new format?
A. Provided your existing COSHH assessment is accurate and up to date there is no need to re-write it in the new format. Any new assessments must be in the new format and when your old assessments come up for review you must use the new format.
Q. Do I have to receive training to carry out a COSHH assessment?
A. The new COSHH system is designed to be self-explanatory to anyone who is already experienced at producing a COSHH assessment so there is no requirement to attend a training course if you fall into this category (although you are welcome to attend a training session if you wish). If you are new to COSHH assessment you should contact the University Safety Office to arrange training.
Q. Where do I get a Safety Data Sheet from?
A. Your supplier is legally obliged to send you a copy of a valid Safety Data Sheet if you ask for one. Many suppliers have these freely available on their websites.
Q. I have read the University policy and guidance but still need some help?
A. The University Safety Office can provide advice and training on all sections of the Manual of Safety. Please use the email address email@example.com

A large, yet midsized luxury crossover sport utility vehicle, the 2010 Buick Enclave enters into its third year with multiple equipment upgrades and a new engine with increased power. Being a crossover, the Enclave offers loads of truck-like spaciousness, but has been built with the unibody construction standards. This means that fuel economy is increased and ride quality is greatly enhanced. The Enclave platform is basically the same as those on the GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse and the Saturn Outlook, yet it is still as different from all of those as a salmon is to a goat.
The 2010 Enclave from Buick has been designed and manufactured to compete with more upscale challengers like the Lexus RX 350, the Mercedes-Benz R350 and the Acura MDX. Its styling standards, both interior and exterior, set it far apart from its lower-scale siblings. Inside of the ultra-modern cabin, you will find crisp illumination, genuine leather and beautiful wood trim. In addition, stylish graphics are included on all display instruments. Cubbyholes are everywhere for convenient storage and slightly more than 115 cubic feet of cargo volume abounds.
Ready, peppy power is provided by the new GM 24-valve 3.6L 288 horsepower 270 lb-ft direct injected V6 engine. Since last year, 13 extra horses and 19 extra lb-ft of torque have been created. It has been married to a CVT transmission. And still, even as an all-wheel-drive vehicle, EPA estimations for fuel efficiency rate at 17/24 MPG. Also, this 2010 Enclave is capable of towing up to 4500 pounds in practical, smooth style. In fact, this could be the finest Buick ever created.
Standard features for 2010 include Bluetooth connectivity, state-of-the-art navigation with real time traffic info, a 110 volt outlet as part of any of the available entertainment systems and a snazzy new rear viewing camera that places its images on your rearview mirror. In addition, the firm, comfortable seats can be ordered with the ability to heat and cool themselves. Second-row seating is available either as bench-style or overstuffed captain's chairs. Your selection between the two will determine if your Enclave will be able to seat seven or eight.
Pricing ranges from $35,165 up to $43,695 for the 2010 Buick Enclave. Trim levels include the CX and the CXL - both available in either a front wheel drive configuration or AWD. There are no plans at this time to offer a diesel, V8 or hybrid version.

The financial eco-system is marked by high volatility, emerging technology and increasing complexity. To create sustainable growth and revenue, credit unions must anticipate evolving member demands, regulatory changes, market trends and threats from new entrants. What separates winners from losers in "the new normal" is strategic foresight, i.e., the ability to create strategy from the future backwards.
To determine the nature and scope of tomorrow's opportunities, credit unions must first visualize the future based on deep insights into today's trends. Join Lee Wetherington for a look at the future and the strategic imperatives that the future demands now.

Ward himself has relished the opportunity to explore the odd, inexplicable qualities that put "Adventure Time" on the map. "As the show became more successful, I could pull it into weirder directions, which I think has made the show more popular," he said on the panel. Of course, dedicated viewers see more than that -- they see a mythology, one that stretches across thousands of years and many generations of events that led the Land of Ooo to its fantastical state. Ward says they're making it up as they go, but that doesn't devalue the mythological dimensions of the plot. "The way I explain it so it's not disappointing that the world isn't already figured out is that we're playing Dungeons & Dragons as we're writing it," he said. "We're with those characters and figuring things out alongside them."
Sugar added that it was all part of the same package. "I feel like the mythology really informs the fun part," she said. "It's so much more exciting to me when something has depth that you don't know is going to be there. If something is fun and strange and there are reasons for that, it's the most interesting it can be. They're not really competing with each other." By not conceiving of an overall game plan, she added, "Adventure Time" can keep exploring new crevices of its world indefinitely. "It's like a galaxy," she said. "It's always expanding."
Those colossal expectations haven't kept Ward out of the spotlight, but he's started to look overwhelmed by it. The man who voices the show's loudmouthed, ditzy blob Lumpy Space Princess isn't exactly shy, though he resists pressure to discuss the show in terms of the fine-tuned details that so many regular viewers like to explore. To that end, he has largely receded from public view, doing very few interviews -- he did none at NYCC -- and even remaining fairly coy on his Twitter account.
There's a sense that the hype surrounding "Adventure Time" may have a detrimental effect on its inventiveness: Not unlike the obsessiveness surrounding "The Wire" (like Grantland's "rigorous bracketological inquiry" into the best character last year) that led show creator David Simon to lament the lack of serious attention for its weighty themes, the "Adventure Time" mania obscures the complex impulses driving the quality of the series.
Of course, "Adventure Time" is asking for it. The popular ingredients have made its team of writers and artists extremely attractive to other networks and opened doors for them to advance their careers elsewhere. Sugar recently left the staff to launch her own program, "Steven Universe," which premieres next month. Another contributor, Natasha Allegri, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for her new Cartoon Hangover effort "Bee and PuppyCat." Contributing writer, storyboard artist and voice actor Kent Osborne told Indiewire that he received numerous offers from other networks, leading Cartoon Network to secure his commitment to "Adventure Time" by renewing his contract.
Complicating those temptations, "Adventure Time" is now a full-scale franchise. Earlier this year saw the release of an "Adventure Time" video game that Ward wrote himself, and the network oversees countless comic book series in addition to the production of mobile apps and costumes, which collectively feed the perception of "Simpsons"-level popularity in the works. For the 31-year-old Ward, it's got to be a lot to take in at once. "I think he's burnt out," said Osborne, who moonlights as an actor in micro-budget indies like Joe Swanberg's "Uncle Kent," in a conversation with Indiewire after the Comic Con panel. "It's hard. It takes a toll on you."
For Osborne, however, Ward requires his space to make "Adventure Time" the sui generis entity that makes it stand out. "A lot of cartoons don't work for me because they're based on ideas of what people think cartoons should be," he said, adding that most of the offers he received for other shows didn't interest him in the least. Sugar agreed, pointing out the restrictive categories that have held back the format outside of the looser arenas like late night animation on Adult Swim and its ilk. "Animation is not a genre," she said. "I hate when it's treated like a genre. It exists outside of anything you'd want it to be."
Still swept up in promoting "Adventure Time" even as she revs her engine for "Steven Universe," the 26-year-old Sugar laid out the appeal of the program outside of its evident commerciality. "People working on the show are poets," she said. "Penn lets them express themselves with super-interesting results. I think he's really a poet, also. That's what people mistake for trippiness." She let that distinction settle before pressing on. "He's expressing thoughts about very modern feelings that people have," she added. "These feelings are frivolous, and that's confusing. Good poetry is like that. Penn is letting that happen. That's why he's such an enigma -- he's an amazing artist."
