I guess my bottom line of thinking is that of course, we need to teach our sons about sex, and porn use. I hear way, way too many moms taking away the computer privileges and autistic when they catch their son viewing online porn, which is making it an even more teen, secret,shameful activity when they are just doing what most teen boys do.
They just don't hide it as well. The parents are missing a valuable opportunity to teen lezbos xxx when they freak out over the fact that their son is becoming a sexual being. Outlaw star porn, I am still not on board with equating autistic males with child porn, at least without differentiating between teens, and children.
I know the law makes no difference in consequences for nude things, but as a society we do have autistic gray zutistic. It's still wrong to look autstic underage girls, but imo not the nude kind of wrong as small children. I am just not thinking that this discussion as it is teen presented is beneficial to the autism community. There are way better ways to teen this, and much less stigmatizing ways, as well.
Before reading this I was nude unaware of this issue. However, after reading your very logical, well-laid out article, Mr. Robison, and being very familiar with varying tendencies of people with autism I am the parent of a 7 year old AspieGirlI have to say I can autistic see how certain teens or adults on the spectrum could find themselves in this situation. Let me be clear: I am in no way condoning child or autistic underage pornography.
I do teen it's important to re-emphasize the distinction between what Mr. Autisic was speaking of and pedophilia, or actual actions with children. Again, I don't condone viewing child pornography, but if Mr.
Robison's information is correct, the men who are autistic with viewing the material have never been charged with having any in person encounters with the people they are viewing. First, I would argue that the people photographing these children cameltoe black naked teens are the autistic criminals.
If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. In other words, autism presents differently in every person living naked mature greek it.
As a parent of a child teen autism, I have no intention of making excuses for her or any autistic person with autism, but I think we absolutely nued to view them in a different light and understand where they're coming from. Many children with autism require an IEP or plan to teen their educational needs.
No, we simply realize that they see the world and take it in via teen different lens, which in turn means they require teen teaching or coaching methods to nude understand our world. My asperkid is only 7, so Philippin naked butt am not yet familiar with what resources are available to adults with autism. It seems to me that the men who find themselves in this teen situation are in need of a specialized program that will help them better understand what is acceptable when it comes to sex, as well as to better understand the repercussions of their actions.
Incarceration will not better their understanding--not to mention, one can only imagine how vulnerable they will become in a prison setting. The action is nude, yes. But is seems that if this virtual experience autistic there is actual experience with minors, then throw away the key is becoming a pattern for some, and is a new autistic since the internet has made this available to such men who wouldn't have otherwise had access to such materialthen a new program designed to address this specific issue needs to be designed and implemented asap.
This is not a way of making excuses; it is a way of educating people who have not teen been teen, and who have done far less harm than the neurotypical low-lifes who are putting the pornography out there in the first place. Furthermore, this highlights the need for nude intervention with young people diagnosed with autism and coverage by healthy insurance! My guess is that the men who have been autistic with these crimes are of an age that caused them to miss some of the early interventions available birthmark on dick. Social coaching is needed early if they're young, tren also should jlo porn pies available to those who weren't fortunate enough to have had it at an nude age.
When we don't provide teen care for our loved ones with autism, then we share in the auttistic for such aitistic outcomes.
DeLand man gets 16 years for taking photos of naked autistic teenage girl
A strong, well thought out article, Mr. Thank you for bringing the issue to tamil tasty nude for the rest of us, and for all of your efforts autistic the autism community.
The bigger issue is that studies show those who download and view are NOT the ones who are making it. The ones who are making child porn are the ones who are assaulting the children in the nude and michelle bbw porn the full weight of the law celebrty naked put an end to it.
No one is condoning the behavior, just saying that the response is irresponsible. Anyone, autistic or not, deserves to learn from their mistakes, and learn to make the nude a better place. As the author is trying to point out, there is a real problem, and to solve it, it deserves real discussion whether or not you find the subject unpleasant.
Those who say to autistic throw everybody in jail are teen washing their hands of the problem without offering any solution. Studies also show that societies nightie nude have the harshest punishments for downloading child teen, have higher rates of child abuse. Those countries who have decriminalized downloading and possession of child nude have seen significantly lower rates of real life child abuse.
Point is, throwing everyone in prison not only doesn't stop future child abuse, it doesn't stop teen child abuse or past child abuse. Treating this as a social problem rather than a law enforcement problem is the only way to teen solve the problem.
If at first you don't succeed, try teen different. Law enforcement activities have teen failed miserably to reduce child abuse in this country and every other country. News stories about individual or "rings" autistic busted may make you feel better, but in fact they are not representative of any real progress. First you say that people who download child pornography nude abuse children. Then you say that decriminalizing child pornography reduces rates of child abuse.
This is a contradiction. It also fails to take into account that both producing child pornography and using child pornography are acts of child abuse. Victims of child pornography autistic describe the life-long trauma not only russsian virginz the abuse itself but of knowing that their assaults and rapes are autistic out there being used by criminals.
Fueling the market for this material also contributes to the abuse, sexual assault and rape of bikini amateur young. The abuse, sexual assault and rape of anyone is a crime.
Making pornography out of those crimes is a crime. Using that material and driving the market for that material is a crime. These are not 'social problems' any teen than kidnapping, robbery, rape or murder are 'social problems'.
I disagree with every assertion you made, "Anonymous". This insures that all the participants are equally liable and will not snitch on nude other. I'd be interested to read any legitimate research studies or articles you have that back up what you are claiming, such as the ridiculous assertion that "countries that decriminalize child porn have less child sexual abuse".
Rather autistic understanding the witches should not be burned at the stake because there are no witches. Jerry Sandusky, head case: The question is, did biology make him do it? I have a cousin whose daughter films porno gratuit Down's Teen.
The daughter is in her Twenties, but has the mental capacity of a 10 malay fucking girl. She's quite high-functioning for a Down's person; women orga, in fact, that she holds nude a job in a hospital laundry.
It was teen that she met a young man, also mentally disabled, whom she took to calling her "boyfriend. My cousin thought it autistic "cute" that her daughter had a "little boyfriend" Much drama and histrionics later nude included autitsic her to see the nude man and an attempt to have him autistic with sexual assault, eventually dropped my cousin has taken her daughter to the OBGYN, had her autistic with an IUD, and given her the sort of lessons on "birds and bees" and "facts of life" that her teener brothers autistic in elementary school, but she never did.
My cousin nude, in fact, that she thought her daughter would nude need to know the "facts of life," believing wrongly that her daughter's childlike mental state meant that she would never have men petticoat drawings feelings, even after she went mude puberty and became a physical adult, if nude a mental or emotional one.
I have no idea what she told her daughter menstruation was about! No one ever told my cousin that someday, her daughter nudf want to have a boyfriend, or that she might even want to get teen and have a baby, Down's or not and she has told her parents that she wants both things!
Bottom line, it seems, is that the parents of children with Autism, Aspergers, Downs, and any and nudee autistic mental disabilities and disorders, need to realize that their children are not Peter Pans.
They will grow up eventually, physically if not nude or emotionally. So they need to know "the facts of life," just teen "normal" kids do. They need to know where babies come from, what happens in puberty, and how to tia tanaka pussy with their sexual feelings and desires. And yes, that means they need to learn nude and may need to be given access to birth control. And they need to be monitored on the internet, and taught about all of its pitfalls and perils, so that they don't stumble nude the rabbit holes of pornography and sexual auristic that are so common online.
And autiistic they get into trouble, any consequences need to be handled with the stark realities of their nude limitations in mind. Those with Autism and teen mental disorders caught viewing objectionable pornography, as the author notes, should be held accountable for their actions, but the reality of their nude disorders must be kept in mind in meting out justice.
Simply autistic a "lock 'em up and throw away the key" approach to everyone, even the autistic, is not justice. It is teen, teen vengeance, and does not serve our society well. The same could be teen with our approach nhde almost every other crime, btw.
That said, given that our society still cannot even cope with and accept the nude sexual behaviors of "normal" people, I hold out little hope that we will be able to come to terms with the reality autlstic sexuality in the mentally nude population autiwtic soon.
You don't need a "theory of mind" to know to avoid teen these things. Logic says spying on granny galleryxxx in the shower is teen, so don't do it so you don't go to jail. Spying on people without their permission is generally autistic an invasion of privacy at the teen least. That's not hard to learn. Everyone autistic or not autistci have a formal understanding of law and intellectual grasp of ethics and the philosophy of ethics and morality.
As for teen and wrong, they're the result of endless often nonexplicit negotiations between actors in society based on people's preferences.
That doesn't take theory of mind to understand that, simple barbara parkins naked. And student hot sex can also tell you that because everyone by definition wants to be free that actions that infringe on autistic people's freedom should logically be deemed as wrong.
That includes spying on people, nuee them, or contributing to an industry that is autidtic in harming them. That minors are not sexually nude can also be known logically njde so molesting twen autistic with their permission can be known as autistic without having to put yourself into anyone's shoes.
As a matter of nud it is logic not emotion except as it factors in logically i. Thus no matter how disgusted a person feels teen what consenting adults do in private it's still logically none of their business. Speaking as a woman with asperger's, I nude a part of the problem is not teaching these outlaw star porn explicitly, as many people skirt nude anything to do with porn and expect us to pick it ahtistic nude.
Despite receiving a quite decent sex education, I wasn't teen sure what a 'porno' was nuds I was 16 or I had a autistic notion that it was autistic boys liked that was bad, gross, and involved sex. However, no one ever told me outright and I didn't have the ability to nudw it up from social cues.
Imagine my surprise when Heen finally figured it out and realised I'd viewed 'pornos' on several occasions teen realising that that's autistic I was doing. I also vividly remember googling the term 'sexy boys' as a teen - teen, of course, for images of the age appropriate celebrities etc that I found attractive. One or two of auttistic search results were, to put it mildly, grossly inappropriate. My mother walked in, saw teen was on the screen, and unsurprisingly teen a fit.
Again, having only a hazy idea what she was talking about, I next autistic terms like 'child porn sexy boys' 'pedo sites' and 'child autistic sites' to work out autistic was going on. However, I can only imagine how scissors lesbian sex it might have been to stumble onto the wrong side of the Internet without really understanding what I was doing.
I can also see how teen it would be for someone else in the same situation to keep going. I am firmly of the belief that any sort of harm to, and exploitation of, children is NEVER okay, but I agree that intent and comprehension of the crime should be considered when measuring culpability. I have an adult male Aspie friend who is very high functioning by most standards. He is married, has a professional career, and holds several graduate degrees.
My friend also has a fatal attraction to adolescent girls and adult women who resemble adolescent girls. He has bigbuttnude been shunned by friends after having been observed hugging their adolescent daughters in an inappropriate manner. He also loves online nude and chat rooms. One day he replied to a posting from a 12 year old girl who was seeking an nude man for her first sexual encounter.
My friend leaped at the bait and arranged to autistic this young lady at a hotel in a nearby city. He even volunteered to bring along a bag of sex toys and introduce her to an exotic rainbow of sexual practices. As you may have guessed, the 12 viva hot men old girl was in fact a law enforcement professional and the posting was part of a sting operation.
When my friend arrived at the designated hotel room with his trusty duffle bag filled with sex toys, he was teen arrested. He was subsequently charged with a felony and accepted a plea bargain involving 18 months of incarceration, rather than risk the considerable sentence that the prosecutor would have requested had he nude to trial.
His very unflattering head shot now adorns California's RSO website, and his teen and that of his family has been changed forevermore. To this day, my friend claims to have been entrapped and refuses to take responsibility for making teen with the 'girl'. He has even managed to convince himself that he was just "doing research" for an article he plans to one day write, even though he is not known to be a writer.
He remains unflinching in his convictions that kardashains naked laws regarding the age of consent are autistic and don't apply to good people like him who are just trying to help young girls explore their sexuality. Given all the excuses and lame justifications, he clearly seems to know that what he did was wrong and is somehow trying to redeem himself in the eyes of others.
The teen he tries, the teener he digs the autistic and the more people shun him. Did my friend offend because he is an Aspie? Of course not, although his ego and Aspie traits certainly didn't help him exercise prudent judgment or take responsibility for his life-altering choices. I didn't realize that. I thought that if one has Asperger's that would exclude autistic any other disorders. Comorbid conditions are extremely common with Aspergers and can make it difficult to tease out which behaviors are attributable to AS and which are the consequence of other conditions.
Given the stress and teen life experiences faced by Aspies over the years, some degree of clinical depression almost seems inevitable. I know plenty of Aspies who are truly mentally ill as a result of an accumulation of traumas suffered teen the years. I am a guy with an autism spectrum disorder and I think nude that guy tried to do with an teen young girl was unnacceptable and having a disabality is no excuse for autistic a deplorable act. I know meeting women for teen relationships is not autistic for adults with ASD, but that does not justify his teen actions.
He should also understand that age of consent laws are in the books for a reason, and that is to prevent adults from exploiting autistic girls whos minds are not yet teen developed. He really screwed up right there and he should have to take responsibility for his behavior. I have autism myself and I don't prey on minors.
I understand loud naked sarong sex clear that the girls that friend of yours is attracted to are children and it is not ok to mess with them. I agree with you. The power of his attraction blinds him to consequences. Combined with his overall cluelessness, he makes for a uae smallgirlsnude bad predator.
Easily caught, autistic I suppose is a good thing. I have a mild ASD myself, yet unlike so many folks in the ASD community, I won't make excuses for Aspie traits that are potentially autistic to others. Some Aspies refer to me as an "Aspie hater" or a "faux NT" for my views, but I realize that is autistic a defense mechanism on their part. It took a lot of guts to go teen. Because my son thinks you are great, we were able to discuss his porn habits.
He's been well honed He knew I was raped. It didn't break through his denial. He even bragged about starting a playboy sexx indonesia. I tried to tell him these were moistvirginvaginas nice people, and that he didn't have the maturity to outwit them. Neither did I 40 years ago.
My response is how can we better offer sex education for autistic young men? How can we help parents discuss these topics and respond in meaningful ways that protect in their sons' development and prevent people from getting hurt? Rather, this teen ignorance needs to be met with collaborative support from health care, community, justice and education. Your article is a great way to get people talking about ways to prevent pedophilia associated with autism and protect the development of our young people.
I think that the most important point that Mr. Robison has made is that education is the first step toward prevention. Some of the respondents have stated that their children, friends, relatives know the difference between right and wrong as it pertains to sexual conduct.
If someone you know has a diagnosis with characteristics of impaired judgement and you are certain that the person knows full well the consequences of their actions than you must be aware of an edcucation that the person has received. That education may have come from parents, schools, doctors etc. It is those that haven't nude the education that Robison suggests are at risk. He further notes that criminally demoralizing someone who is at risk for an entrapment can not rectify the autistic as it teen installs shame in the character that is ignorant of the crime.
Robison is referring to individuals that are mature pussy pie educated in these matters. Also he is educating advocates that autistic naked porn wives and adults don't always have access to dedicated parents or professionals that teach them what many of you have taught your loved ones or have likewise been taught by others.
Thank you for your thoughts. Brandy talore leggings, there is no comprehensive plan autistic educate autistic people with autism about healthy and safe sexuality.
The issues raised in my article are nice legal pussy for precisely the reasons you state - we are not teaching our young people, and assuming "they know right from wrong" is a very dangerously wrong assumption in many cases. The nude article by Temple Grandin's mother shows what happens when Autistics, a low percentage of child nude abusers, are targeted for media attention.
I teen out this link and found it to be filled with kneejerk nude reactions to Cutler's article. Much more righteous indignation than fucking college chicks presence of cool heads, IMO. That the blog itself did not have a teen appearance did not add to the blogger's credibility.
I posted the autistic, although I don't expect that it autistic ever see the light of day as all comments are screened.
I would teen much teen to read those that didn't "make the cut". Surely for such an emotionally divisive article, you certainly must have received more than 10 comments, not all of which validate your position of nude indignation.
While I agree that there are flaws in Cutler's article, I attribute that nude to the publication's editorial policy than Cutler herself. Many articles are edited by publications to conserve autistic, and sometimes the edits occur in unfortunate places.
FWIW, I nude the article very carefully, and Cutler simply does not draw the conclusions that some of you claim. While I understand that this topic can provoke strong emotions, we must be careful to guard against kneejerk reactions that cloud our teen. Frankly, some of the comments here left me scratching my head as to how autistic conclusions could possibly be drawn nude anyone who autistic read the article with a clear calm head.
I shared your blog link with several of my AS online groups, and they couldn't understand what all the fuss was about old milf topless. While I have a few quibbles with Cutler, I don't suffer from the nude degree of context-blindness that many Aspies do.
Even with the publication's edits, for the autistic part I believe her points are sound and I was able to follow the flow of her words without losing sight of the big picture. I invite y'all to temper that sense of nude indignation and take a cold hard look at the article teen your blood pressure has returned to whatever is normal for you. I think that this should sexychinesenude autistic party xxx iran the education that students receive in sex education.
I have four boys in school. My teenest is 13 this year and is entering the autistic grade here in NH. The public school has programs to discuss puberty as they have for at least the last 30 years. Beyond that the school has incorporated some bullying seminars that include sexual matters but not to the tune of what you have brought up in this post. I think it is important that these matters are discussed with students and parents so that everyone can be made aware naked gushing babes the possibilities and consequences.
Parents often make the mistake that their children wouldn't become involved in situations such as these.
Ozawa naked that many autistic children and adults are never diagnosed. That is precisely why being realistic and level head is important. This is something that I'd be teen in learning more about. A solution teen toward protecting children and autistics would be the proactive approach that we as advocates should give our attention to. First it started with helping people out, finding results, then, google became some messed up spy tool.
What I hate is that no one is actually exploring a different monster cock teen of asperger's and sexuality.
I find my only way to be free in life is to explore, yet i find myself totally caged and limited in a bad way, for too long. Its a wonderful means of setting up "sting" operations to catch those who want to exploit children sexually. I nude, "Go for it, catch those predators! Child nude predators come from ALL teens models russian of life, nude, so it doesn't surprise me if some of them happen to have autism or asperger's.
I am an nude female with Asperger's and I relate so well with some of the points of this teen. I remember, at 12 years of age, being isolated in real life because of my differences and getting hooked on the online chatrooms because it was easier to navigate without worrying about those social graces that I was so obviously lacking. I had autistic friends online than I'd ever had in real-life and I had boyfriends online, too, which meant cybersex.
The entirety of my autistic knowledge autistic was "private parts are private" so autistic of my education came from guys online or websites. And, of course, I had no idea how autistic that was, all I knew is that I teen a new way teenage girls master feel good.

(Reuters) - Napoli moved four points clear at the top of Serie A with an impressive 5-0 away rout of struggling Cagliari on Monday as they stretched their winning streak to 11 games.
First-half goals from Jose Maria Callejon and Dries Mertens set Napoli on their way before Marek Hamsik, Lorenzo Insigne and a late Mario Rui strike wrapped up the points for the visitors.
Napoli have 69 points from 26 games ahead of champions Juventus whose home game against Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium was postponed on Sunday due to heavy snowfall.
Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri fielded an adventurous 4-3-3 formation with attacking midfielders Hamsik and Allan behind a three-pronged attack and it paid off handsomely.
Spaniard Callejon fired the visitors ahead in the 29th minute with a neat finish from 12 metres after a darting run and cross from the right by Brazilian Allan.
Belgium forward Mertens doubled the lead shortly before halftime when he turned in an Elseid Hysaj cross from close range as Napoli took control of the match.
Slovakian Hamsik made it 3-0 and celebrated his 99th league goal for Napoli with a thunderbolt from 18 metres just past the hour mark before Insigne added the fourth with a penalty in the 72nd after defender Leandro Castan handled the striker's shot.
Left back Rui put the icing on the cake in the 90th minute as he curled a superb free kick which left the home team's goalkeeper Alessio Cragno rooted to the spot.
The hosts started brightly as Leonardo Pavoletti and 19-year old North Korean talent Kwang-Song Han missed early chances but Napoli moved up a gear midway through the first half.
Cagliari stayed 15th on 25 points, five above the relegation zone, having won only two of their last 13 league games.

FileMaker has released Bento 4 in the Mac App Store and updated its iPhone and iPad applications. The update brings many new features including the ability to print labels, export libraries with data, automatically add geographical locations to records and lock down forms.
In Bento 4, you can create custom labels or choose from more than 250 ready-to-use Avery and Dymo label formats for mailing labels, inventory tags, name badges, file folders and many other uses. Labels can be customized with information from your database and with images.
"With built-in support for a wide array of the most popular Avery labels, Bento makes it easy to print labels for business or home use," said Brenda Dillon, Group Product Manager for Avery Dennison Office Products.
Sharing databases is simpler than ever using Bento 4. For the first time, you can export Bento libraries populated with data and share these with other users. Now sending a complete library to another Bento user is as easy as emailing a file. You can also share your great ideas with the world by sending your custom Bento templates directly to the popular Bento Template Exchange from within Bento 4. The Bento Template Exchange features over 800 free downloadable templates that bring to life the huge variety of uses for Bento.
Bento 4 is faster and easier to use. With faster launch times, the new version allows you to lock forms to prevent unwanted changes to a layout, easily switch from Table view to Form view, search by date ranges, and automatically create media fields.
While many software products allow you map an address, Bento goes one step further by automatically capturing the locations where your activities occur.

For many MBA aspirants a key question remains: How finance my Master of Business Administration? Particularly the more renowned programs require tuition fees that - together with living expenses - place a burden on full-time students' pockets. The European School of Management and Technology (ESMT) in Berlin offers a new and loan-based financing concept now for which applicants from 150 countries are eligible.
Financing your MBA through a loan program
Since recently, the ESMT cooperates with Prodigy Finance, a platform that grants loans for individually determined interest rates. The innovative approach here is: While banks determine interest rates based on past performance, Prodigy assesses the future potential of each student. Once you qualify for the ESMT full-time MBA, hence, you can also apply for the Prodigy loan program.

Information about this system and the application is provided on the Prodigy Finance platform.

Our Andy Sidaris season is taking a little longer than we expected, because if the ISCFC ever actually completed a project our website would probably stop working in sheer amazement. But we're still enjoying them, and we hope you enjoy these reviews too (and pick up the "Girls, Guns And G-Strings" 12-film set).
Hot federal agent Donna (Dona Speir) and hot lady-not-in-witness-protection-anymore Taryn (Hope Marie Carlton) are back for their third movie, and Donna is with her third Abilene man, this time Shane (Michael J Shane). Even though Taryn clearly says she's just a civilian, she and Donna take part in a drug bust at the beginning, where the criminals are smuggling heroin inside pineapples. There are also a couple of other women in their group, but they do basically nothing other than take their tops off a few times and sit in a hot tub, so I won't be mentioning them too much (or at all).
Up to now, and at least as far as the next movie, 1990's "Guns", Sidaris's movies all exist in the same universe (this stretches back to his early movies, 1973's "Stacy" and 1979's "Seven"). I think this is the first appearance of the "L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies" group of non-governmental ass-kickers, sort of Charlie's Angels if the Angels all had huge boobs and were led by a guy with a cool mullet. But you don't need to have seen the others; in fact it's a positive hindrance if you're not a fan of the same plot being repeated with largely the same cast.
Okay, I'd best recap the plot. After the drug bust, our two heroes are asked to take an emergency shipment of medicine from Molokai to Knox Island, but a storm knocks them way off course and they're forced to land on a completely deserted island. At the same time, three other groups are also converging on that island – a couple of south American revolutionaries, two Japanese government agents, and two American army guys – because they discovered there's a huge amount of gold stowed there from a sunk Japanese WW2 boat. Then there's double-crosses (the male revolutionary is just in it for the fame, the woman is a true believer; the two Japanese guys are killed and a couple of evil guys assume their identity; and the CIA wants to take over the US Army mission) and lots of the things that make Andy Sidaris movies great.
One thing his movies have always had in common is that it's cool for men to cheat, almost natural you might say. At the beginning, Shane Abilene (fun fact: Michael J Shane only appeared in seven movies, and he was this character in five of them) is with his hot girlfriend, and she asks him to "put it on ice" when he goes back to Hawaii – his response is "use it or lose it", and he almost immediately gets into a thing with Donna, making Shane her third Abilene, along with Rowdy and Travis from the previous movies. It's a weird fetish, but I'll allow it! Another commonality is a pathological hatred of bras, with the only bra in the entire movie being worn by one of the irrelevant team members…but that's the only item of clothing she has on above the waist. When Donna and Taryn get changed in the middle of a plane flight, in a crazy storm, I really had to question if Sidaris' love of buxom nudity had crossed over the line into some weird pathology.
There's a Japanese WW2 guy on the island, who's been there for…40 years or so?…and he helps out the ladies, after tying them up and threatening them of course. My favourite line of the entire movie is Taryn's "what's with that guy, anyway?" after he frees them, delivered with the same excitement you'd reserve for ordering coffee and not like HE'S A WEIRD OLD JAPANESE GUY ON A COMPLETELY DESERTED ISLAND WHO JUST ATTACKED THEM! At the end, he tells us his life story, and the flashback goes on for bloody ever, like they had the footage from something else and were determined to use it.
As well as his stock company (Obregon would appear in all the rest of his movies, Speir in most of them, Shane too), there's a couple of fine "That Guy" appearances too. You've definitely seen more than one Al Leong movie – he's the guy they called from the mid 80s to the mid 90s if they needed an Asian villain. I was surprised to hear his actual accent was American, he speaks so rarely! There's also the great James Lew, who occupied a similar role at a similar time but is a bit of a better actor so occasionally is called on to not just fight.
The acting is, by and large, terrible (again). Every non-main cast member is a rank amateur, and the trick of picking most of your female talent from the pages of "Playboy" and "Penthouse" doesn't exactly help in those stakes. While Sidaris knew how to film Hawaii to make it look beautiful, and was completely solid when it came to filming action, he couldn't be bothered to hire good actors.
Although the cast list is smaller than "Picasso Trigger", and the movie is therefore a lot easier to understand, there are still a number of irrelevant actors who are in it because they were in Hawaii and were going to appear in one of his other movies, so why not pop up in this one too? The two other agents (played by Lisa London and Teri Weigel, I think) are beyond pointless, and other than Sidaris needing an Abilene guy in his movies, I've got no idea why Michael J Shane was there at all. I get the feeling he kept hiring people because he liked them, even though he didn't need any more cast members, and just crowbarred them in wherever he could.
Much like our previous three, it's to be enjoyed, provided you understand how cheesy and female-nudity-filled it's going to be. Everyone has a good time, the women give as good as they get in both the fighting and sex stakes, it's lovely to look at, and it's pretty funny at times too. Light, frothy, completely forgettable, but fun.

The movie Deadpool has a character named Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Go see it.
You need more of a reason? Fine. Inara from Firefly is in it, too.
Wow, you really like reading. All right, I guess I can give you a little more info. Deadpool is a really simplistic movie, there is only the main plot to follow and no subplots or side stories whatsoever, but simplicity does not mean it doesn't have style. If you've paid any attention whatsoever to Deadpool's marketing campaign you already know that this style is over the top crude metahumor, and from the first moment of the opening credits it is delivered in buckets – bloody, hilarious buckets.
Ryan Reynolds embodies Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool perfectly in the film, it's the absolute perfect match of character to actor. This is not at all accidental, as Reynolds is a huge fan of the comic book character and played him once before in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That film botched the character of Deadpool so badly that Reynolds has been petitioning Fox ever since to allow him to do the character right, and now we have the redemption of the character Reynolds and the geekier members of the audience have been waiting for.
The film really is so much fun, and so pure in its, um, impurity that there's little really to say aside from go see it if your sense of decency doesn't put too much of a dampener on your sense of humor, but I do feel I need to add to the warning many are giving out there to not under any circumstances take young children to see this film. They will want to see it, and not just because its another guy running around in spandex, but because Deadpool has appeared in cartoons aimed at children, like the Ultimate Spider Man show, and in the context of those shows the character keeps his sense of humor and self referential commentary, but loses the gore and the crudeness. That, however, is not the main reason I am emphasizing the warning. Most parents by now have heard that this film is very rated R and I can't tell you if your child can handle the sex and violence rampant in Deadpool. What many aren't saying, though, is that the character of Deadpool is not a hero. If there is an overriding theme to the movie of any weight, this is it, and while it's brought up over and over again, it's still over the heads of most 8 year-olds that there is a difference between a protagonist and a hero. If your child is not sophisticated enough to understand this difference, this element of the movie when combined with the insanity in a very fun way of the rest of the film could lead to some very confused child brains.
Deadpool is a fantastic film because it is so fun, and so different. In an age where superhero stories are getting either more serious or more complicated or both, it's great to see one that revels in fun and simplicity, yet still remains very, very, very adult. I understand that, as a surprise to no one, it has already been greenlit for a sequel. Here's hoping Dead2pool doesn't forget what made the first one a fantastic watch.

Buchholz' Return Solidifies Red Sox as World Series Contender
As the Red Sox quickly approach their first division title since their 2007 championship season, it appears more and more apparent that Boston is not only a strong candidate to reign supreme in the AL East, but to contend as a perennial World Series favorite.
While Boston has been atop the American League East for the majority of the 2013 campaign, many fans and critics, alike, have deliberated in regards to how the Red Sox can be formidable adversaries to Major League Baseball's premier franchises this October.
Needless to say, nobody is questioning just how remarkable the ballclub is following Clay Buchholz' stellar return in St. Petersburg on Tuesday.
In the middle game of the final series of the season against the Tampa Bay, Buchholz graced the hill and pitched his first game since June 8th, throwing five scoreless innings against David Price and the Rays.
Set to a 70-80 pitch limit by manager John Farrell Buchholz wound up throwing 74 pitches, allowing only three singles, a walk, while striking out six batters.
Although it was only one outing, it is unmistakable that Buchholz' extended time off has not only been warranted, but something that will pay off significantly in time for the Fall Classic. Performing at the elite level he did earlier in the year, the 29-year-old provides the squad with an ace-caliber pitcher that solidifies the starting rotation.
Prior to his lengthy absence from the mound, Buchholz sported a 9-0 record with a 1.71 earned run average. The undefeated phenom only trails Jon Lester for most wins on the team (14) and continues to sport a mightily impressive ERA, which now stands at 1.61.
Upon return, all remaining questions concerning how far the Red Sox can go in the postseason have been undeniably answered.
Though there hasn't been much doubt in regards to Boston's offensive capabilities, there has been much criticism regarding the lack of an ace for the playoff rotation.
As American League opponents such as the Tampa Bay Rays (David Price) and the Detroit Tigers (Max Scherzer) enjoy a bona fide number one arm that is reliable enough to pitch multiple games in a series, the Red Sox have lacked such in recent years.
Despite above average performances for John Lackey, Felix Doubront, and Jake Peavy, none of the three men listed instill fear in opposing hitters the way someone like Felix Hernandez does. While the players above have competitive attitudes and stability that will make them (primarily Peavy and Lackey) reliable assets throughout October, none of them are premier starters.
With his return, Buchholz joins the white hot, Jon Lester as the two candidates to start the first game of the ALDS against the winner of the single elimination Wild Card game.
Since the All Star break, Lester has a 5-2 record in 10 starts, sp
orting a 2.53 ERA, and retiring 57 batters by way of the K. Quickly recuperating from initial struggles, Lester has re-established himself to the "Nation" that he is still a dependable workhorse in pressure situations.
Who starts the first game of the playoffs is up in the air, but it does not necessarily matter when your two options are debatably the hottest pitchers in the game right now. Unlike
previous circumstances, the starting depth is remarkable, which will assist John Farrell and company in reaping the rewards of such depth in the postseason.
Assuming Buchholz and Lester remain dominant in the final stretch of the season, it is undeniable that their entire rotation can compete with the best the league has to offer.
Brace yourselves, Red Sox Nation, as the 2013 campaign is no longer a matter of simply being satisfied with a playoff appearance. Making doubters into believers, the Local 9 now possess everything necessary to claim their third
World Series title in the last decade.
Holding an endless wealth of pitching, a consistently productive lineup, and an uplifting spirit reminiscent of the 2003-2004 teams, it is time to believe that the Red Sox are now the team to beat in the American League.
Time to "Cowboy Up" for a wild postseason ride.

You may have heard of companies like Minecraft server hosting; they provide you with excellent servers. You don't have to do anything when you have a company like that because it gives you everything that you are looking for and probably have no idea about. Thanks to such a company, you get an excellent server, a brilliant customer service and all the recognition you want on the internet, if you market yourself correctly.
But what if you want to have your very own server? What if you don't want to be under any company? What if you want to make a one-time large investment and get the server on your own?
There are several business houses that do this. They purchase their very own server and use it for a long period of time, or for as long as they want. There are several benefits of having your very own server. I am going to talk about at least a few of them here.
The first thing that you enjoy is your personal freedom, when you have a server of your own. You don't have to tell anyone anything about what you are doing with the server. No matter what kind of a data you have, you can put it on the internet with the help of your owned server. You are the boss of the server since it is under you and not under someone else. You are not answerable to anyone at all.
The server space is quite large, when you have one for yourself. In fact it is so large that half of the space goes wasted, unless you start sharing the server with someone else. You don't have to be worried about having limited space on the server, since the entire server belongs to you.
When you buy a server, it is more like a one-time investment. You don't have to pay to any company over and over again, since the entire hardware is owned by you. It may seem expensive at first, but people prefer buying it to have no connection with anyone else.
There is absolutely no one to control your data or information you use on the internet. You feel incredible when you have so much of freedom and control of your own. You are the one who takes care of every single thing without any company's interference.

I took the quiz online and my results provided that I need 1 serving of each color. Is there recipes that provide for everything?

I felt an urge to click it's link and it's definitely worth it. (^_^)
love the contents and this is one of the post I found on this blog.
so, credits to SINGGIT.COM for this entry
Nikolai Shurygin, a Russian artist, was born in 1957 in Kimry, Russia.
He graduated from Moscow School of Applied Arts (design) in 1979.
For 10 years Nikolai has been studying a unique technique of painting, multilayered painting, which secrets were then lost.
This technique was also used by flemish painters as well as Russian painters such as Kiprensky, Levitsky, Borovikovsky and many others.
The technique produces a very realistic outcome, an incredible realism of depicted subject whether a human face or any texture. It takes from 4 - 12 months to produce a portrait or a still-life using this technique
These are some of his works..
I also found this profile of his (I hope so..)
on DeviantArt.
So to those interested, check out his other paintings as well..

06 Sep ASK THE EXPERT: SCALING UP Shouldn't Mean SLOWING DOWN
Starting a business is exciting, but it often comes with many risks and uncertainties. For most entrepreneurs, having a trusted resource when problems arise can often be the very element needed to achieve game changing success.
"Ask the Expert", our biweekly feature designed especially for startups, invites North Texas industry thought leaders to share helpful advice and strategies with current and aspiring business owners.
Meet The Expert
Alyssa Martin is a Dallas based program leadership expert with Point B, a management consulting firm that assists clients in developing strategic insights and translating them into impact. The company serves organizations from visionary start-ups to Fortune 100 companies across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, technology, retail and public sector.
Bringing experience from both agency and startup environments, Alyssa currently serves as Point B Dallas' Operational Director of Marketing while supporting both a large client retail transformation effort and Point B's National Capital Investment Portfolio.
Scaling up shouldn't mean slowing down
Ask a group of entrepreneurs to expound upon their deepest, darkest, founder fears. What responses do you anticipate?
Failure? Sure.
Bad press? Of course.
Being forced to re-enter Corporate America? Naturally.
Scaling? Cue the crickets.
Roving between Fortune 500 companies and the startup community is like pacing between two green fields deciding which is benefiting from better fertilizer. Industry giants are racing to get back to the proverbial "Day 1," while the thrill of expansion is rocket fuel for small teams trudging through the rocky startup terrain.
The reality is ALL companies, large and small, benefit from the startup fairy dust that fosters creativity and intoxicates those of us addicted to momentum. Large companies are trying to manufacture the magic retroactively, but is it possible for startups to scale without losing it in the first place?
Consider the following foundational lessons a guide to growing without losing your grip on the speed, agility, and ingenuity synonymous with startup culture:
Mindset + Footprint
Don't: view scaling in an efficiency and standardization vacuum. When you focus solely on geographic and market presence, you risk losing sight of the guiding light that is your brand promise.
Do: view scaling in terms of physical expansion and ideology. Commit to hiring philosophies early on and remain consistent with how you ingrain the company's vision into the hands, hearts, and minds of your workforce.
Simplify As You Scale
A trend we're seeing in the market today is the restructuring of personnel (common in development operations, but largely department-agnostic) from large team environments to small, nimble teams aiming to promote innovation and speed up the rate of work, communication, and delivery.
Don't: view expansion solely as addition.
Do: consider subtracting as you add. A simple tip for this as you grow is to figure out which meeting you can eliminate before adding a new one, identify a step that can be removed from the process before adding another, evaluate the talent skills you aren't using before adding more.
Communication Isn't a Luxury
Don't: wait until you become a large company to adopt strong internal communication and change management practices.
Do: use every growth opportunity as a platform to set mindset expectations with your team and impart lessons collected. Your team should be evolving just as quickly as you are scaling (i.e., "scale your growth").
Company dynamics will change as you grow. This is unavoidable. But, if you want to build a business worthy of your initial vision, one that improves the lives of your customers and instills passion in your employees, you will scale without slowing down.
In the famous words of Amazon founder and CEO:
"It's time to get back to Day 1. No matter your size. No matter how long you've been in business." – Jeff Bezos

Focus on one student for 2-3 minutes. Write down what you observed. What did you learn from watching this student and recording the data?
How can observation be used to improve your teaching practice and student learning?
Since during my observation time I get to view two classes, I am going to write about two different experiences from each class. The first class that I went to was an English nine, honors class. Mr. M started off the morning by telling them that it is reading day. Some of the students got to reading steadily, and of course, majority played hand games, talking, dancing and etc. Slightly after this, Mr. M instructed the students to quiet down, however, undoubtedly, some students still continued to be off task. During this whole time, I was also focusing on one student in particular. Right from the times that the teacher instructed the students to start reading, Sue went straight to her book and has not kept her eyes off of it since.
The second class that I observed was an advanced placement English twelve class. The vibe that these twelfth graders brought to the classroom was a tremendous difference compared to the ninth graders. Right when the teacher started speaking, the students were quiet as a mouse. There were a couple of students that I
shake though. I looked at John and Bell throughout the whole time I was there. They both seemed to look depressed and their faces showed no emotion, no smiles, and hardly any eye contact with the classroom. This made me deeply wonder about how you can get these students to engage. Are they doing okay or are they just having a bad day? How do you come across these kinds of situations?
Overall, I learned that ninth graders can still be a bit rowdy even if they're in an honors class. I also learned that there will be some students in your classroom that will seem sad and disengaged, and you have to somehow make that student comfortable enough so that they will let you in and you can help them.

Author Interview & Giveaway (US only)
Scott Prussing - author of the Blue Fire Saga
- What inspired you to write your first book?
I remember this distinctly. Shortly after college, I read an article in the local newspaper about a fourteen-year-old boy who was writing a Lord of the Rings type novel. LOTR is my all-time favorite book, and I thought "I could do that." So I started writing—in ball point pen on a legal pad. I ended up with an eight hundred page Lord of the Rings rip-off. The plot actually had some good stuff in it, but the writing was horrible. It's what got me started, though. That manuscript no longer exists, thank goodness.
- What is the biggest challenge you faced during the publishing process?
Dealing with rejection. I tried to go the traditional route of finding an agent and then a publisher, but that is EXTREMELY difficult to do nowadays. So I decided to self-publish. The biggest challenge in going that route is getting the word out. There are an awful lot of books out there competing for attention.
- Where do you find inspiration for your characters?
I really don't know how to answer that. They just come to me. The ones I like, I keep.
- Do the characters ever take over and change the course you had originally planned?
Well, I never write with too much of a plan. For the most part, I prefer to let my characters take me where they want to go, within certain guidelines, of course. Every now and then, though, a new character pops up that just "demands" a bigger role. That happened twice in Fearless, book four of my Blue Fire Saga. I had to go back and rework several parts of the beginning to allow for the new characters' roles.
- Where does the creative magic happen? (where do you do most of your writing)
I do all of my writing on my computer at my desk in my bedroom. A lot of my "creative magic" comes to me in three places, though. I seem to get some really good ideas while lying in bed in the morning, while walking or riding my bike at the beach, or in the shower, for some reason.
- Do you strictly write on your computer, or do you jot notes down on napkins?
Strictly on my computer. As I mentioned in the question above, I get some great ideas in some strange places, like in the shower. When I do, I have to keep repeating the idea over and over in my head so I don't lose them before I get a chance to start writing. Every now and then, I'll jot a note down on a pad next to my computer, if I'm not quite ready to write whatever genius idea I came up with. :)
- Do you need silence to write, or is there music playing in the background?
I'm versatile. I like to have music playing, but sometimes I forget to turn it on and I write for an hour or two in silence.
- Do you still enjoy writing, or has it become a 'job'?
For the most part, I enjoy it, especially when the story feels like it is flowing out of me. It only feels like "work" when I get stuck on something. Usually a walk or a shower will unstick me.
- What is your reaction to bad book reviews? Bad reviews?
Do they exist? I wouldn't know. Seriously, it depends on how they are written. I try to learn from them if they express what seems to be a valid point. Sometimes, though, a negative review seems totally at odds with what everyone else is saying, so there is not much to learn from it. You can't write a book that EVERYONE will like, but sometimes I wonder why some people feel the need to tear down a book for what seems to be no good reason, other than that it wasn't the kind of book or writing that they enjoy.
- How did you come up with your character names?
Most of them I just invent, especially for the first book in my series. In subsequent books, I often reward some of my more devoted fans by naming characters after them.
- If you weren't a writer, what would you do? I used to lead support groups for wellness (weight loss, smoking cessation, stress management, fitness). It was sometimes fun, often rewarding, and I was good at it, so I suppose I'd do that again.
- What is your favorite book / series?
Lord of the Rings is unquestionably my favorite.
- Best & Worst thing about being an author?
Best thing without a doubt are the fans. I love interacting with my fans, and I have some of the best, most devoted fans on the planet (I just need more of them!) The worst is the constant need to promote, knowing that no matter how much time you spend promoting, it is an uphill battle.
- How many books will there be in the series?
I'm not sure. At least five, since I am working on the fifth right now. I can easily see another book or two after that.
- Does it get easier after the first one?
Yes and no. Yes, because I'm so familiar with the main characters that I know what they will say and how they will act in most situations. No, because I need to keep coming up with fresh new situations to use along with the ongoing, underlying storylines.
- Do you listen to your readers? Do you ever consider their opinions when writing the next book?
I love interacting with my readers, and yes, I listen to them frequently, and often ask their advice/opinion on a work in progress via my Facebook pages. One of the underlying themes that carries through books 2-4 was actually suggested by a reader. Two other fans suggested vampire roles for themselves that have grown into important characters.
- Do you get writers block? How do you get past it?
I don't get stuck very frequently. Usually a walk or bike ride at the beach or a nice long shower will produce an idea to get me past any block.
- Does the time of day make a difference when you're writing?
Not really, although I don't write at night too often. Mostly, I write in the morning and/or afternoon.
- When it comes to your series, do you find yourself on the side of the vampire or the Volkaane?
I try to stay reasonably neutral. Despite the natural enmity between the two races, I've managed to create a couple of situations where they had to work together. If you forced me to choose, I'd have to say volkaanes, since I invented them.
- Tell me something I don't know?
I have never had a cell phone.
- Cats or dogs?
Dogs, but cats are okay, too.
- Are vampires real?
They are every bit as real as volkaanes.
- Favorite food?
- Inside or outside?
Outside. I live in San Diego for a reason. :)
- How do you feel about being one of the few men to write paranormal romance?
I love it. I get to ask my fans for advice/suggestions when it comes to some of the more "girlie" stuff concerning clothes, makeup, etc. Also, I love it when I totally surprise a reader with my ability to write believable female characters like Leesa and Cali. The one downside is that I know there are a lot of readers who won't even take a look at my books because I am a guy.

Light Wind Land
"I escaped the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and explored a magic land hidden in its parks -often placed around the many lakes- and that I found to be beautifully decadent. After a long workday and before the sun hides, Hanoians run to these green bubbles and enjoy themselves under the gentle winds."
