This is part two of the Hood River News' look back at the history of the Hood River waterfront. This article was compiled by staff writer Esther Smith, updating a 1998 report by Paige Rouse.
The Port of Hood River created the waterfront in the 1960s and 1970s with the idea of developing it to bring jobs and economic diversity to the area. Things went according to plan — the industrial park was filling up and work progressed in Marina Park — until the late 1970s when the port was denied the right to complete the fill project's final phase. Then in the 1980s the wind blew in a whole new industry for Hood River.
But in the early 1970s things were moving right along, especially in the Marina Park area.
This was the area the port envisioned as the recreational center, with a planned swim beach, park and improved marina. Improvements began with the marina's first permanent moorage floats, installed in 1972. The next year the port office building was erected and later became the home of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Oregon State Police. Land was also donated by the port to become the Hood River County Museum. A visitor dock was installed in the marina and eventually a swim beach, complete with restrooms, was added.
In the late 1970s the port ran into problems in its efforts to finish the fill it started in 10 acres of the West Cove area of Waterfront Industrial Park, in the area now known as the Hook. The original plan included development of this area into a transportation center with access from the western side of the city. Hopes were to bring barge, rail and highway facilities to one central point, resulting in substantial economic benefits, both in freight cost savings and energy in the movement of bulk cargoes. However, litigation over the fill effort ended when the Oregon Supreme Court denied the Port's request to fill the submerged portion. The court found that fish rested in the area on their way downstream, and that Columbia River fishery could be diminished by filling this submerged area within the cove.
By 1982 windsurfers had discovered Hood River and the waterfront quickly became a hot spot for enthusiasts of the sport. Every summer the number of sails out on the river seemed to double. Marina Park became known as the Columbia Gorge Sailpark, where major boardsailing events were scheduled. A number of windsurfing concessions were soon added to encourage industry growth of the sport.
Recognizing the need for a long range plan, the port signed a contract in 1982 with Portland planners Benkendorf & Associates, who had worked with the Port of Portland to plan portions of Portland's downtown waterfront. These planners stressed the importance of getting community input regarding waterfront development which would be incorporated into the comprehensive plan. By the end of the year they had come up with Waterfront Plan Phase I.
There were already conflicting views on what should go on the waterfront. The Hood River Valley Residents Committee presented a position paper during that time to the port commission which offered alternatives to the port's industrial/manufacturing focus and suggested a different outlook for the future economic direction of the county.
The Residents Committee felt that Hood River had something special to offer that could provide a real economic advantage — its spectacular scenic beauty, its recreation potential and its quality of life.
In 1983 the Port of Hood River purchased Wells Island with the intention of expanding recreational facilities in that area, but due to environmental interests the island was sold to the Trust for Public Lands in 1991, and later to the U.S. Forest Service.
In the late 1980s, in order to relieve overcrowding and better accommodate a mix of uses at the marina, the Port of Hood River undertook the construction of the Event Site on the western side of the Hood River. It was intended to be both a recreational and a world-class watersport competition site.
Other improvements made during that time included a pedestrian bridge across the Hood River to link Marina Park with downtown and an expanded commercial boat dock near the event site to enable cruise boats to dock; eventually including the Sternwheeler.
In 1993 the port transformed the former Clark Door building into the Hood River Expo Center in order to help encourage year-round tourism. It underwent major renovation at a cost of $1.3 million, $900,000 of which came from a HUD grant. By 1993 national trade shows were booking at the Expo Center.
By the end of that year the port had entered into the next waterfront era, a decade of discussion and debate about the future of the waterfront. It began with hearings about zone changes and developed into a complex issue that has yet to be resolved.

Actually, yeah. I'd wanna live my retirement there, not live there now.
I was planning on a trip to Italy but it fell through due to compulsive spending. I was planning on hitting venice but all the tour places said the same thing about gondolas. "It's not worth the experience anymore."
Maybe I could train to be an undine. I remember seeing male employees walking around at some point.

Hi. This is Dragnfly coming to you live. I'm here on animesuki to interview Maids! Maids! Maids!, who just recently won the entire internet.
Seriously though, that pic is awesome. I so need to traumatize my friends.
Hey. Not to be a jerk but come to think of it this would go really well with my curren5t sig. Mind if I make it my avatar?

Thanks a toin, Maids. I'll take good care of her. In the worst case scenario her and Dark Nanoha will fight a never-ending yet glorious battle.
I think being an undine would be good for her. She always seems so bored but if she can learn to enjoy the natural beauty of Neo Venezia then maybe she'll take life a little less seriously.
Heck, with the name Ai it even fits the naming scheme
I can just see it now. Athena gets promoted and gets a different room (well, that's another story all together) so Alice ends up sharing a room with the new recruit. She reminds Alice so much of her prior self. So Alice makes it her mission to bring a smile to the new recruit's face.
Alice: Ai. These are my friends. Aika, Athene, Akira, Akari and Alicia. We're going to teach you how to be a great undine.
All: Pleased to meet you.
Ai: I am Enma Ai. I will ferry your hatred to hell.
Alicia: My my my.

The 20 or so second bit at the beginning of each episode (the one that has the Aria-shachou montage) is mysteriously missing in all the raws of episode 2 I've gotten so far. I wonder if they're getting rid of it, or if it was just not included in the TV Tokyo airing this week for whatever reason...

I think that she'd creep me out if she ferried me through the canals of Neo Venicia. If she had me on her ferry to hell, I'd just be more freaked out by seeing that cute outfit in such an inappropriate setting.

I think watching episode 2 would suffice for this purpose as well. =p
When I compared the runtimes between the two episodes, I noted they were identical, suggesting that nothing was removed from the broadcast. Looks like the pre-show montage is simply gone. I suppose that, along with the vastly shortened next episode preview, this was done to extend the amount of available screentime in the episode itself.

Heads up! Big change for Westminster this year. Read on: The 137th Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) Dog Show, which will take place on Feb. 11-12, is adding a venue. Since 1877, the prestigious dog show has been held in one of the four incarnations of Madison Square Garden (MSG). Only two other events- the circus and the National Horse Show- have that claim to fame, though neither is held in the Garden anymore. The Garden has been home to the dog show in all but seven years of its history. Don't worry. Westminster is not forsaking the world's most famous arena. However, this year is going to be quite different to allow for more room and more dogs. Starting this year, an additional venue has been added for breed judging because renovations at the Garden have reduced the space available to bench the dogs. During a benched show, all participating dogs are on view in a designated area, when not in the ring, so spectators are able to see them up close and speak to their owners and handlers. Westminster announced the change for 2013 at last year's show. On both Monday and Tuesday, breed judging and benching will take place during the day at Piers 92/94 located at West 55th Street and West Side Highway. Group and Best In Show judging, as well as Junior Showmanship Finals will be held, as usual, at Madison Square Garden in the evening with competition beginning at 8 p.m. on Monday and 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Tickets for the daytime at the Piers are $25 general admission and are being sold separately from evening tickets at the Garden available via MSG and Ticketmaster, so please check www.westminsterkennelclub.org for details. TV coverage is still live from 8 to 11 p.m. each night, with the broadcast shared by USA network and CNBC on Monday, but completely on USA Tuesday night. The daytime change of venue will not be noticeable to folks watching at home. The shift to the Piers, and increase in space - in particular, benching space that has been lost recently due to Madison Square Garden's transformation - allows Westminster to increase its entry limit to 3,200 dogs for the first time since 1991. The entry limit is the highest it has ever been since the WKC installed limits (2,500 in 1941, then 3,000 in 1970, then back to 2,500 in 1982). The limit was lowered to 2,000 in 2012 as the benching area had lost significant space.
In recent years only dogs that were already champions were invited to Westminster. The additional room at the Piers expands eligibility to include dogs that have won a major (3 points or more at one show). In addition, Best of Breed winners of national breed club specialties will be invited to pre-enter. The top five dogs in each breed in breed point standings will continue to be invited to pre-enter, as in the past. In other words, spectators will see a lot more top dogs. Last year, because of ongoing construction and arena space gone forever, there was no room for the organized rows and overhead signs pinpointing Groups and breeds. In addition, the Toy and Terrier Groups were exiled to benching in the Theater on another floor of MSG. It was the second time that I helped compile the Best of Breed sheets to be used as background information for the TV broadcast. Since there was no organized benching floor plan as in years past, handlers camped out where they could find a spot for their crate or grooming table. A Collie might be next to a Basset rather than another Collie or Herding breed.
It was hard to guide visitors to their favorite breed because assigned rows were gone. Tracking down missing Best of Breed sheets became more difficult. A half hour before Tuesday TV time, I was still searching for "Phoebe" the elusive, Scotty breed winner, tucked away on the stage in the Theater because her Best of Breed sheet hadn't been turned in. Her call name and win statistics needed to be verified, just in case they were mentioned on the air.
Piers 92/94 side-by-side, jutting into the Hudson River (separating New York and New Jersey) have been the setting for New York Fashion Week extravaganzas, the Armory Show, trade exhibitions and also special art and design events. Many dog fanciers may remember back to the days in the 1990s when Pier 92 hosted what has become the Meadowlands Specialty Dog Shows in New Jersey in recent years, held the weekend before Westminster. I recall going to an Afghan Hound specialty show at the Pier, and having the legendary Ch.Tryst of Grandeur rest her head on my shoulder while she was on the grooming table. Little did I know then, that her halfbrother would soon be coming into my life.
As far as schlepping Westminster dogs from the Pier to the Garden and then back to their cars to go home, only the 180 or so dogs that win Best of Breed (or Variety) will have to travel between both spots. All breed winners from each day will need to be benched at MSG by 6 p.m. I spoke to a WKC steward who explained that shuttles would be helping to move these dogs, their entourages and their equipment. That's great, but they better all hand in their Best of Breed sheets on time. We don't want to hear last minute that they left the paper at the Pier. For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631-643- 9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: "Oliver" #13-15 a stray, young Pit and "Mae" #12-532 (the current shelter office dog) don't need more room in a benching area. Instead, someone needs to find room in his/her heart to adopt each of them. Dogs: "Fred" & "Zsa Zsa" #113-10/11- older Miniature Poodles; "Bruce" #12-334-happy Pit- gets along well with other dogs; "Buddy" #12-785- senior Beagle. Cat: "Tara" #3-11- lovely, young domestic long hair.

Oh now, you didn't think I was a big old prude just because I have a list of sexy things I ditched since having kids? I did write a sex book for parents, mind you, so I haven't joined a convent or anything.
So if you thought your sex life was suddenly over after having children, THINK AGAIN! Here are seven sexy things I do more of now that I'm a mom. Rowr.
1. Sex in the shower - As a busy mom, I've got to multi-task, so sex in the shower is definitely killing two birds with one stone. Plus, my back is so clean now that I have someone else to wash it for me.
2. Sex toy play - I'd always played with sex toys alone, but now that I have kids, I'm all about bringing sex toys into the mix with my husband. I don't have a ton of time to fool around, so they definitely help speed things along.
3. Foreplay - It might be because it takes a little more these days to get me going (darn hormones!), but I definitely engage in a lot more foreplay these days, both receiving and giving.
4. The quickie - I admit that sex used to be quite a big production back in the day, but now my husband and I don't have time for that. So we've embraced "the quickie," which allows us to have fun and still get the laundry done.
5. Talking dirty - Perhaps it's because I need a little extra help to get turned on, but the dirty talk has certainly gotten much more abundant since having kids.
6. Sex outside the bed - A change of scenery can be pretty hot, and since overnights in hotels, at least on any sort of regular basis, aren't feasible, just moving to the floor, the closet, even the basement (which is finished, by the way) does the trick.
7. Sexy texts - Maybe I'm getting more daring in my old age, but I love sending sexy texts, which are an excellent form of foreplay.
What sexy things do you do more of now that you have kids?

DIY Behind The Door Wrapping Station
Now that the holidays are past, most of us are no longer keeping our gift wrapping essentials in our living rooms or out in plain sight rather. Instead of taking up room in your closet or under your beds, try this diy behind-the-door organizer that lives inside a laundry room!
Kate in California loved the looks of on-the-wall style wrapping organizers. They keep everything you need at your fingertips, any time of the year, but she just couldn't bring herself to pay for what she could make herself.
She set to work with with the help of a few household tools, she created this fabulous little organization station. It hangs in her laundry room, behind the door. It's an easy place to get to and isn't in the way of other things. Kate spent roughly 2 hours (including dry time for the paint) assembling her craft and we think it's a great way to take control of those unruly rolls that are floating around your home.
Check out Centsational Girl for all the details and measurements to get your own organization station started!

I've installed the community and document servers on on two machines running Ubuntu 16.04 using the Debian install method. Everything works except for SMTP settings and, naturally, no activation emails. I'm using Outlook, and the settings they provided are:
Server name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 587
Encryption method: STARTTLS
I have tried it with SSL enabled and disabled, I have tried using the full email address and just the name before the @, and I keep getting "Error while executing the operation." when I click Send Test Mail. I've also tried just setting up the same email account in the email module to see if that connects.
I keep getting this error: Smtp.ConnectAsync timeout. When I check my account in Outlook it shows that a successful IMAP automatic sync was made from the server's IP address, but obviously nothing is working. What am I missing?

Call of Thrones is one of Yeepgame's most popular online-games, which now has more than 30 servers and over thousands players.
One of the most crucial aspects of Call of Thrones is leveling up your skills. Each character could carry up to 4 skill trees slots that could be unlocked for a certain amount of gold. You can acquire skill scrolls by completing certain quest or by purchasing hem from skill trainers.
Weapon Skills:
Supportive Skills:
Healing(alternatively named Recovery in the skill tree window)
Trading Skills:
You could also delete a skill tree if you ever got it by mistake or you've just decided that it wouldn't suit your character's build. With my limited knowledge of COT so far, I came up with these three methods. Now let's proceed to the guide proper.
1. Using Train functions (for Combat, Supportive and Trading Skills)
Training is unlocked at level 15. You could use this function everywhere except at the world map and instance dungeons. Along with the skill points gained, it also recovers sp and yields a small gain in experience and combat mastery experience. Use this immediately if you're going idle (while AFK, transferring items, making/embedding gems, checking out the player market etc.) for a while. It should be use in areas where state is activated because you'll have the risk of getting killed by other players at PK enabled maps. You could cancel this function by clicking stop/ train icon or moving your character. Basing on my observation, you gain skill points at maximum every 35 seconds (ranges to 1-3 skill points for each skill tree) and at this time displays the amount of points/exp earned, but you could still gain a small portion of points and exp if you cancel it halfway.
2. Mining and Smelting (for Trading only)
There's not much trick here. Mining ores, smelting items, harvesting and lumbering yields 1 point for every successful gathering. Auto-Quest (refer to the Battle method for more information) function is also available during the mining, harvesting and lumbering. In my opinion, getting trade skills are also important since the raw materials sold by NPCs are pretty expensive and it is hard to find a good deal in the player market.
3. Battle Monsters/Players (for Weapon/Supportive Skills only)
For the weapon and supportive skills, points are accumulated for their respected skill tree they belong depending on the frequency of usage of skills during a battle. Skill points are rewarded after battle. Training at nearby dungeons of your preference, just be sure you switch from [Manual] mode to [Auto-combat]. It automatically continues to battle a new set of enemies every 10 seconds. If you don't have much time in your hands, you could also utilize the [Auto Quest] function available for unlimited use for VIP members or you could exchange vouchers or gold for a fixed time. Unlike the VIP and gold options, in which you could train up to 48 hours (2 days), you could only train for a maximum of 12 hours and you could also get PK by other players if you are using the voucher option. To avoid this from happening, to find a dungeon where your character will be out of sight at players spawn points. The fun part of using the auto-quest function is that you could still train for skill points even if your offline though it is much slower.
For this method you should pack up on EP recovery and EP drain equipment, this will be useful with your automated grinding and this will also eliminate the need for using EP recovery items that also wastes a turn for your character. EP drain are more effective using skills that gives out multiple hits, so Dual-Wielders are best suited for this job. For other weapon types you might Just as well try to increase your EP Drain stat. The easiest way to acquire EP recovery and EP drain attribute is by embedding Gems to your equipment. Having a Healing items, skill and stat (HP Drain, HP Recovery, HP Healing) are also vital to sustain yourself from damage you'll receive throughout this ordain. Get a healing skill as early as possible since healing items costs you coins, hogs up your inventory, not as effective as the heal skill and you might also run out of healing items during your offline long hour auto combat sessions.
Note: This method is also a great way to level up your Pets, Mounts and Relics at higher levels. If you want to level up your supportive skills quickly, just select the [Supportive] auto-combat preset. Your character will now prioritize the use of supportive skills like healing and buffs, it even uses heal skill even if you didn't receive a substantial amount of damage. Poison however is more like an offensive skill even though you could purchase it from the supportive skill trainer.
Hope some information included here helps you out guys.

Sometimes it seems as if the scriptures paint a picture of impossibilities. They appear to be impossibly unreachable, impossibly untouchable, impossibly impractical. To think about a time and place where opposites live together harmoniously and communally appears to be a waste of time and energy. I can hear Hubby Dear's usual retort, given when I present him with ideas that suggest unorthodox combinations of people or ideas. "It'll never happen!" says he. "You're wasting your time!"
I am not a fan of reality shows. In my view, they distort reality, make it a hoax at best and a horror at its worst. Among those invaders, the one depicting life as a hoarder, is most disturbing. The reason probably stems from the storing of goods, materials, ideas and emotions all of us have experienced at one time or other.
The brief respite between holidays became my nesting place and resting place with words. I read until my eyes grew weary and my brain could not absorb another thought. To say the least, it was fun. To tell the truth, I relished every moment.
First came the painful journey through life with "The Book Thief," who learned from firsthand experience "the Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words." He opined he would never fire a gun because he would not have to do so —an opinion he never actually followed into action.
As noted by the Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute, the traditional period in the Northern Hemisphere for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is Jan. 18-25. Proposed in 1908, these dates bridge the dates for the feasts of the Chair of Peter (Jan. 18) and the Conversion of St. Paul (Jan. 25), and therefore, have symbolic significance.
Recently, I attended a funeral for a parishioner who had requested the singing of "This Little Light of Mine" as the opening hymn. The song was both an unusual choice and a heart-rending one. It evoked smiles on the faces of the attendees, mostly retired. Here we were, aging adults, singing a children's song, alive with rhythm. I guess we all felt it was inappropriate to clap our hands, but the song surely begged our indulgence.
I am always amazed at the serendipitous happenings of life. I guess it is better said they happen in life and with it. Typically, my day begins with some quiet time. It's spent with prayer, either at my computer or with reading material or enticed by a word or two from Hubby Dear. This day was no exception. In the midst of silence, ideas emerged, memories were recalled.
My eyes dart to view billboards, church signs, and magazine ads. They are often intriguing and evoke alternative thinking. When my neighbor arrived with a lovely bunch of Time magazines, I was in heaven. Ads galore would delight my roving mind. At least, that was my hope. I was not disappointed.
It was a balmy day — great for shopping. I had an itch to update my wardrobe that needed to be scratched. Coupons in hand, I persuaded Hubby Dear to drive to Belk. As usual, with book in hand, he opted to wait patiently in the car while I made my way through the markdowns.
A friend told me he once had a T-shirt emblazoned with the command: "Don't just do something. Stand there!" I'll bet some folks thought he got it at a discount, because the message was skewed. At the very least, it must have caused a second look ... even a second thought.

Straight and to the point.....and incredibly accurate. Good information for any FSBO.
One comment we often hear as real estate professionals is "I'm selling my home myself to save the commission." That is fine so long as you don't think that your potential buyers don't know that.
In fact, did you know that there are only 4 kinds of buyers out there? That's right, 4. And they are either working with a Realtor or they, too, will want to save the commission. If you have a "For Sale By Owner" sign in your yard, everyone knows that you are not paying a commission to a professional.
1. First time home buyers: They are the most likely to seek the help of a professional because they do not know all the ins and outs of the home buying process. Even if they come across your home and like it, they will want their agent involved. Being open to working with a buyer's agent and paying at least some commission might help you get your home sold.
2. Relocating buyer: They, too, usually work with a real estate agent because they are not in town, yet. Again, if you are willing to pay a buyer's agent commission, you may be able to work with one of these buyers and sell your home, that is, if you are available to show it when this buyer is in town house shopping. If not, they might just buy your neighbor's house because it's listed and on a lockbox and they were actually able to view it.
3. Move up buyers: They tend to feel more confident about the process because they have been there before. However, if they choose to work on their own, they'll negotiate you down on your price to save some of the commission themselves. Since 2 out of 3 FSBO that go under contract do not close when no Realtor is involved, it might not matter if you split the would-have-been commission with this buyer. The question is: can you get them to the closing table?
4. Investors: Probably the most savvy buyer out there and you can bet that they will not pay you a commission to work the sale of your home for you. Unless you are an investor yourself and you've sold many homes in the past, this buyer knows more about the process than you do and he/she knows that they will have to do all the work. And, unless you are an awesome negotiator, you will not save money if your buyer is an investor. Not a penny.
There you have it! These are the only 4 kinds of buyers out there, no more, no less.
Here's another way to look at it: appraisers do not care about the commission. Your house is worth what it is worth, whether or not there is a commission involved. For example, if you live in a neighborhood where homes of similar age and sizes sell for 150K, then your home is worth 150K.
With a 6% listing commission, you would have to pay 9K in commission, usually split between the listing and the selling brokers (if two agents are involved). If you sell on your own, you are not going to save the full 9K. Buyers will want to split those savings with you and might only offer you 145K for your home. If this is acceptable to you, all is good, but your savings are now down to 4K. If you calculate 2 or 3 months extra on the market (and 2-3 months of extra house payments), the advertising and signs costs, and the time involved in showing your home numerous times to buyers who may or may not qualify to buy it, is it really worth the aggravation? Besides, getting an offer/contract on your home is the easy part. Do you know what to do if you ever get that far?
I know what my time is worth, do you?

Chhattisgarh denies blue films made with tribal girlsJanuary 15th, 2010 - 10:53 pm ICT by IANS
Raipur, Jan 15 (IANS) Chhattisgarh government Friday rejected charges of the opposition Congress that placement agencies have been using tribal girls in the state for making blue films.
"It's incorrect to say that cases of tribal girls being used in blue films were reported. In fact, not a single such case is found," Home Minister Nankiram Kanwar said in the state assembly in a written reply to a call attention notice of Congress MLA and former home minister Nandkumar Patel.
Kanwar said the government had always acted tough whenever the cases of human trafficking of girls were reported.
Referring to an NGO's findings, Patel in his call attention notice mentioned that 144 placement agencies were involved in human trafficking in the state's Jashpur district alone. These agencies had taken 3,170 girls to metropolitan cities illegally from 259 villages and forced them to appear in blue films.

Due at the airport in three hours for a gig in Washington, D.C., Soul Asylum guitarist Dan Murphy wanted to make sure his bandmate of 31 years, singer Dave Pirner, did not get lost finding the coffee shop arranged for our interview last month. It was in Uptown, about a half-mile from Pirner's house.
"Let me check on Sunshine," Murphy said, picking up his cell. He chuckled as he hung up.
"He told me he's parking 'right by Knut Koupee guitar shop.' I didn't bother telling him that Knut Koupee closed in about 1984."
OK, so Soul Asylum is not exactly in step with the times. Some other solid reminders of how long ago the band's commercial heyday was: They played the Clinton inauguration party (the first one); taped an "MTV Unplugged" episode (same season as Nirvana's) and were featured on the soundtrack to "Reality Bites" (in which Pirner made a cameo with then-girlfriend Winona Ryder).
As Pirner and Murphy this week release their first album together in six years -- made with the stalwart replacement lineup of drummer Michael Bland (ex-Prince) and bassist Tommy Stinson (ex-Replacements) -- certain things are being done to update their old band's image. For instance, they're pitching for NPR radio play and taping an on-air session with 89.3 the Current, which has their new single, "Gravity," in steady rotation. They even have a Twitter account, though a mention of it drew a blank, talking-in-Greek look from Pirner.
However, when they sat down to talk about the new record for a new label with a new outlook on the immeasurably changed music business, the Soul Asylum co-leaders wound up doing a lot of reminiscing about the old days. Not those heady days of mainstream fame and ridiculously large recording budgets, mind you, but the era when their late bassist Karl Mueller had to sell a truck for them to go on tour, and they had, as Pirner put it, "nothing but blind ambition." Yes, the days when Knut Koupee was still open.They're revisiting that era this week with their first 7th Street Entry gig in 25-plus years.
"I have so many fond memories, but I also have this reoccurring nightmare than those shows all sounded like [crap ]," Murphy said of the Entry, where the band plays Thursday as a warm-up to Friday's hometown release party next door at First Avenue.
One of the few things in Soul Asylum's world that has lasted as long as Soul Asylum, First Ave is where the guys landed what Murphy considers their first big break: After opening for X there in 1984 under their old band name Loud Fast Rules, the Minneapolis kids were asked by the Los Angeles punks to open a short tour.
"That right there is what made Dave, me and Karl all drop out of college," Murphy said. Some of the other bands they opened for at First Ave around that time include the Ramones, Mötorhead and Hüsker Dü. "I feel a lot more camaraderie and connection to the bands of that era, like the Meat Puppets and the Minutemen, than I do to all these bands that had minimal radio success in the '90s," Pirner said.
He didn't name names, but the comment came up after a question about the band's new label, 429 Records, which counts the Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler and Everclear on its roster. Soul Asylum often winds up on rib-fest lineups or casino calendars with groups of that nostalgic ilk. "None of these other bands were part of that initial SST, Twin/Tone, road-rat sort of world -- that world that started in Minneapolis, and then went to Seattle," Pirner said.
"We try hard to avoid that [pigeonhole], but we inevitably get put on a bill with some bands that are bands where the crowd only knows the songs that were fed to them on the radio. You end up by proxy in that sort of Dick Clark world, the world where people don't dig very deep into the bands besides the song with the good beat you can dance to."
'The Royal They'
Playing the Entry and First Ave is one way of reminding people that Soul Asylum was a band that put out five mostly strong albums and put untold miles on their tour vans before selling more than 3 million copies of the 1992 album "Grave Dancer's Union" off the hit singles "Black Gold," "Somebody to Shove" and "Runaway Train."
The other way for Soul Asylum to stand out from the nostalgia crowd, of course, is putting out a new album that stands up to their best work -- and to today's hipper rock bands. They come pretty close with "Delayed Reaction," issued Tuesday.
Of all of Soul Asylum's 10 full-lengths, this one boasts a little of everything the band has done since its inception. Punky and slightly snotty garage-stormers such as "Let's All Kill Each Other" and "The Streets" bump greasy elbows with the anthemic, radio-tuned rockers "Gravity" and "Into the Light." The album also meanders into mellower territory with the Faces-like soul-twang gem "By the Way" and a charming jazz-piano ditty, "Cruel Intentions."
Pirner wrote all the tunes but credited his bandmates for setting a high standard. He thus also blamed them for "Delayed's" delay.
"There are the guys I call 'The Royal They,' which is Danny and Michael," the singer explained with a smirk. "I just write songs and keep writing songs until I write some that Danny and Michael like. That's really what takes so long. If those guys are not into a song full-heartedly, it's going to seep out on stage, so it has to be good."
The other reason for the album's slow gestation was geographic challenges. Only Bland lives in the Twin Cities year-round. Pirner lives mostly in New Orleans. Murphy winters near Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Stinson moved from Los Angeles to upstate New York during the making of the record and eventually had to bow out of Soul Asylum altogether, mainly because of his commitment to Guns N' Roses. The permanent new bassist, Winston Roye, from New Jersey, makes his local debut this week. Most of their touring consists of "fly-in" weekend dates, so they often just meet up at gigs.
Pirner still retains his Minneapolis house -- "I'll always feel like I'm a part of something here," he said -- but he emphasized how much of an impression his adopted hometown has had on him. Some of the nihilistic, reckless, devil-may-care lyrics in "Let's All Kill Each Other" and the new album's closer, "I Should've Stayed in Bed," sound NOLA-induced (i.e., "There's nothing I gotta do today except for blow you off").
"After everything that's been lost and done to New Orleans, people there are still fully committed to making art and leading an artistic and spiritual life," he said. "It gets left behind in terms of business and money, but it still leads the way, I think, in art and creativity."
There seems to be a similar, unfettered credo to Soul Asylum, which has watched its riches fade and its members come and go -- or get buried -- but lo and behold, the band still carries that spark. As Pirner bluntly put it: "The notion of giving up at this point of Soul Asylum's career is just kind of ridiculous."

Does Orthodoxy really teach that marriage is eternal?
And FWIW, these are our Fathers too, you know.
My question is the unbelieveing spouse. The two are one flesh through the mystery of marriage and it even says you make your spouse holy, so how does this affect judgement day? Does it have any play on thier place in eternity? I am aware Orthodoxy believes that Marriage is eternal not confined to just this life.. Thanks!
St. Jerome to LaetaThe apostle Paul writing to the Corinthians and instructing in sacred discipline a church still untaught in Christ has among other commandments laid down also this: "The woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband; else were your children unclean but now are they holy." Should any person have supposed hitherto that the bonds of discipline are too far relaxed and that too great indulgence is conceded by the teacher, let him look at the house of your father, a man of the highest distinction and learning, but one still walking in darkness; and he will perceive as the result of the apostle's counsel sweet fruit growing from a bitter stock and precious balsams exhaled from common canes. You yourself are the offspring of a mixed marriage; but the parents of Paula—you and my friend Toxotius—are both Christians. Who could have believed that to the heathen pontiff Albinus should be born—in answer to a mother's vows—a Christian granddaughter; that a delighted grandfather should hear from the little one's faltering lips Christ's Alleluia, and that in his old age he should nurse in his bosom one of God's own virgins? Our expectations have been fully gratified. The one unbeliever is sanctified by his holy and believing family. For, when a man is surrounded by a believing crowd of children and grandchildren, he is as good as a candidate for the faith. I for my part think that, had he possessed so many Christian kinsfolk when he was a young man, he might then have been brought to believe in Christ. For though he may spit upon my letter and laugh at it, and though he may call me a fool or a madman, his son-in-law did the same before he came to believe. Christians are not born but made.
Marriage (also matrimony) is one of the holy mysteries or sacraments in the Orthodox Church, as well as many other Christian traditions. It serves to unite a woman and a man in eternal union before God with the purpose of following Christ and His Gospel and raising up a faithful, holy family through their holy union. It is referred to extensively in both the Old and New Testaments. Christ declared the essential indissolvibility of marriage in the Gospel.

The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.
12th century Patriarch of Antioch, Theodore Balsamon "we believe and confess that the spouses are on account of the marriage, reckoned to be one humanity having more or less the same soul, which is perceived in two hypostases"
Quote from: Seafra on November 28, 2011, 05:40:58 PM12th century Patriarch of Antioch, Theodore Balsamon "we believe and confess that the spouses are on account of the marriage, reckoned to be one humanity having more or less the same soul, which is perceived in two hypostases"Whoah! Something I can quote "Patriarch" Theodore on (not my favorite Church Father).
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.
sorry guys gotta bring it up again I was pointed to a video series by a Fr. John Mack, I guess he is no longer Orthodox however i was advised by some on this site that his teachings on marriage are very Orthodox. Here again i am presented with marriage in Orthodoxy as being eternal... He says that by affirming marriage as a mystery St. Paul is calling it a sacrament, this the Church agrees with, he goes on to say as a sacrament and part of our salvation it will continue on in eternal life. He also quotes a John meyendorff?
I believe Fr. John Mack got forced out of the Orthodox Church. What is your question?

Henri Dutilleux
French composer of modernist music
Henri Dutilleux, 97, a highly regarded French composer of modernist music, died Thursday in
Considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century, Dutilleux received international acclaim, and his music is performed regularly by major orchestras. He wasn't a prolific writer, but his style, singular voice and iconoclastic tendencies won him admirers around the world, inviting comparisons to Pierre Boulez and Olivier Messiaen.
Among Dutilleux's best-known works were his Piano Sonata; "Figures de Resonances" and "Ainsi la Nuit" for chamber groups; "Timbres, Espace, Mouvement" and cello concertos written for Mstislav Rostropovich; and "L'Arbre des Songes," a violin concerto created for Isaac Stern.
In 2011, Gustavo Dudamel chose the violin concerto translated as "The Tree of Dreams" to replace an unfinished commission for a Los Angeles Philharmonic performance. Times music critic Mark Swed wrote, "You can never go wrong with Dutilleux" and called him "a refined, eloquent composer."
Born Jan. 22, 1916, in Angers, France, Dutilleux grew up in an artistic home. A great-grandfather was a printmaker who was a friend of the French painter and printmaker Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot. A grandfather was a music teacher.
Dutilleux studied at the Paris Conservatory and, after serving in
Harold Shapero
Pianist, composer taught at Brandeis
Harold Shapero, 93, an American composer and pianist who was associated with the neoclassical style of music, died in his sleep May 17 in
As a composer, Shapero was a critically admired artist though never a household name. He has been widely categorized as a neoclassicist — a rubric of composer that flourished in the mid-20th century and that sought a return to the aesthetics of classicism.
Leonard Bernstein conducted the premiere of Shapero's best-known work, 1947's "Symphony for Classical Orchestra," with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
In 1986, Andre Previn and the L.A. Philharmonic performed it at the Los Angeles Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and at Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa as part of a program to revive neglected pieces of American music.
"Shapero reveals himself here as a superb craftsman. ... The writing is clever, subtle, elegant," Times critic Martin Bernheimer wrote in his review.
Shapero was born April 29, 1920, in Lynn, Mass. He studied music at
He joined the Brandeis faculty in 1951 and helped to pioneer its electronic music studio while also teaching music theory and composition.
Vernon McGarity
Won Medal of Honor for Battle of the Bulge
Vernon McGarity, 91, a former World War II Army squad leader who received the Medal of Honor for valor displayed during the Battle of the Bulge, died of cancer Tuesday in Memphis, Tenn., said a spokeswoman for Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery.
President Truman awarded the Medal of Honor to McGarity in October 1945.
According to the U.S. Army Center of Military History, McGarity was a technical sergeant in the 393rd Infantry, 99th Infantry Division, during World War II.
Wounded in an artillery barrage that preceded a German counteroffensive near Krinkelt, Belgium, in December 1944, he received treatment but refused to be evacuated and returned to battle.
During the battle, McGarity rescued two wounded soldiers, immobilized a tank with a round from a rocket launcher, replenished the unit's ammunition under heavy fire and destroyed a German machine gun.
The machine gun had cut off the squad's only escape route, but McGarity managed to destroy it single-handedly under heavy fire and kill or wound all the German gunners, according to his Medal of Honor citation.
The delaying action allowed reserves to assemble and form a line against the Germans.
McGarity received the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and two Belgian medals in addition to the Medal of Honor. There are 79 Medal of Honor recipients who are still alive, according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.
McGarity was born Dec. 1, 1921, in Right, Tenn., and returned to his home state after the war. He worked for the Veterans Administration and served 28 years in the Tennessee Guard.

Blended from reserve wines selected for their intense depth of color and fruit character, BIN No. 27 is aged for four years in neutral wood vats before bottling. Tasting Note This wine shows fresh, rich blackberry and cassis aromas. On the palate, it has a well knit structure, with velvety, luscious black fruit and chocolate flavors before a long, intense finish.

A movie based on the HBO series "Entourage" has got the go ahead from Warner Bros.
Creator Doug Ellin will direct the film adaptation and has also written the screenplay. He previously exec-produced the comedy drama series with Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson. Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier are currently in negotiations about reprising their respective roles. Kevin Connolly, who played Eric E. Murphy on the show, Kevin Dillon, and Jerry Ferrarra are also currently in negotiations.
Ellin had previously confirmed that the film will pick up where the tv series ended in 2011 and will focus on Ari's new career move. RTE reports he said, "There are interesting developments about Ari as a studio head, and that's still the first page for me." He added, "But foremost is the friendship between the guys who are still hanging out and going to fun parties, and it continues with the same characters."
The producers have given some hints of what they would like to see in the movie. Piven said on 'The Talk' last year, "We're teed up for a movie in a way that, you know, Ari has this conundrum that he's facing, which is either to rule the world or to honor his love to his wife."
The Huffington Post reported that Wahlberg said in June of 2012, "I think a 90-minute movie of sheer craziness-- they guys getting back to just being the guys, you know? Lose the ladies. Go crazy. Give people what they want." The film does not yet have a start date for filming.
The season six premiere, which aired in July of 2009, was dedicated to Connolly's Irish American mother, Eileen, who had passed away in March of that year. His career began when a wedding photographer asked to take 6 year old Connolly's picture at his uncle's wedding. His mother said about the event, "He was very cute. He had a little suit. He had a little John-John haircut." His picture was later used in advertising for inflatable punching bags and pool toys and he starred in a Chips Ahoy! commercial. Connolly made his film debut in 1990 in "Rocky V" and later achieved celebrity status for his role in "Entourage."

Starting out with Python programming
Subject description: Do I have all, or at least, enough libraries?
An app that I wanted to run required Python, so I downloaded and installed the following pets:
So now that I have these, I'm thinking, why not dabble in a little Python? Just wondering if I have most of what I need to get started. (Not sure whether the libdb pet is required for Python or just for the application.)

Only because you want to make something generally useful to the Puppy community
, in which case you would try Genie instead.
Just wondering if I have most of what I need to get started.
Yes, you have what you need to create simple applications with python and pygtk, and all those other things. The trouble with Python is just that most programs use all sorts of extra libraries and bindings that you need to install to use them.
Do you know a good
program? Please post a link

Thanks for your replies, disciple and Lobster.
Could I ask a couple more questions? I have a lot of experience with procedural languages - assembler, COBOL, Basic (yes, I know), and a little bit of C, but I am a complete newbie to object oriented programming. Would Genie be good to learn OOP? Do you guys know of a good tutorial or book for learning OOP concepts?
I found some books on Amazon that teach OOP using C++. Would it be better to learn C++ first and then go on to Genie?

I taught myself OO by using Smalltalk, I have many books that I collected on Smalltalk in that time.
But I found Python was a wonderfully forgiving teacher of OO especially as you can freely blend procedural with OO. Personally, I think the ability to do both in one development tool is the best of both worlds.
The reason I think Python might be a better start to learning OO is that Genie is pretty fresh/raw right now - not much good documentation, limited examples. Whereas Python not only has huge piles of documentation on the subject, it also has a wonderful interactive interpreter that allows you to tap out and test all sorts of constructions as you're learning without going through the whole source file, compile business.
If you can become comfortable with the white-space sensitive Python, it will also make a smoother transition to Genie.
This is just the perspective of a mediocre hobby programmer and I never went down the Jave, C#, C++ route so that's a whole experience that I can't balance against the route that I took, so take my ramblings with a grain of salt.

Python really is a fantastic language and you should do your best to learn it, despite what some other python haters say. When you become proficient with it I recommend learning vala which should be reasonably mature by the time you learn Python. I personally don't like genie as it's a hybrid of C++ and Python syntax which leads to rather strange abomination. If genie was to be less C++ and more Python it would be much nicer.

Thanks guys. It seems that the big advantage to Python is that there's lots of help available in the form of tutorials, books, forums etc. So it makes sense to start there, and apply that knowledge later on to Vala and Genie. I'm all set with a Python sfs (learned how to make one out of a pet today! My newbie-self is so proud!) and a tutorial so with any luck will be able to get beyond "Hello, world!" soon.

You have made a good choice.
Good luck.
Even though I finally understand why object orientated programming is clever, I still can not make use of it (that would take real skill).
It is something like this.
Imagine a procedure that was designed to
work across a range of potentaial calls
The ability to recognise patterns would enabe it to recognise patterns
in sound, voice and a database of saved files.
In effect one procedure is doing 3 very different things.
The thread can be used simultaneously.
Efficient and cool if you can create such a procedure . . .

Post subject: VB
Subject description: is Python anything like vb
I have a question... I used to teach vb5 and vb6... yes from the other folks...of course a very oo language, frankly seemed easy to learn and use once you understand it is more or less an interrup or focus language. "Basic" in the background.
Is Python anywhere similar? I would like to do some programming in Puppy.. have followed the various suggestions for several years, downloaded some of the documentation.. still have not dropped my feet into the waters. Have done a ton of programming systems with Access and vb in the background... are we talking about any similar capabilities?
I really don't at my age, want to bit twiddle... and learn complex syntax.

You could try out the pets for Python here:
Python syntax should be easy enough.
However Python requires 30MB of support files to run.
Those support files are not in Puppy.
Genie is the nearest equivalent.
Gambas may suit you and apparently the support run time file required is
about 250k and Gposil has flirted with making this available for
Dpup (the run time not the complete Gambas)

Python bears some resemblance to basic on the syntax level but the inner workings are very different. I do think you will find yourself presently surprised with the power of Python however.
A few definitions...
Procedural: executing statements in a linear nature. (lots of variable assignments)
OOP: a way of abstracting and encapsulating procedures. (invaluable on large projects)
Functional: the entire program is made of nested expressions. Very few variable assignments. None of the languages discussed thus far are functional btw.

hopefully this isn't to late to be useful. I use python alot on windows and will probably see what wine would do to the windows version first. On your list you probably want wxpython it is very useful and you will want pygame (sdl). it is possible pygame will not work on some older laptop graphics cards.
you might try pysh a shell with python embeded in it, I was going to add that as one of my very first items to my setup.

To the editor:
A news item in the May 8 Leavenworth Times outlined a recent SPLC report attacking those who seek to maintain local control over government schooling. The article descends into propaganda when describing SPLC as a "civil rights organization."
SPLC has always specialized in pulling the wool over the eyes of the gullible. It is reported, for example, that SPLC assets approach a quarter of a billion dollars in value, that a whopping 89 percent of all income is devoted to administration and fundraising, and the chief executive officer's salary is 34 percent of a million dollars.
No poverty here, folks.
When one considers SPLC political activity, on display in the present article, their ad hominem tactics, and their tax-exempt status, I would say the more apt descriptor is civil wrongs organization.

This document reflects what I have learned through porting several MIPS machines and other related Linux work. Hopefully it will help beginners to get started and give the experienced a reference point.
This document goes through all the major steps to port Linux to a MIPS machine. The focus can perhaps be called "MIPS machine abstraction layer", i.e., the interface between machine-specific code and, mostly, MIPS common code. Another useful document focuses on "Linux hardware abstraction layer", i.e., the interface between Linux common code and architecture-specific code. The document is written by C Hanish Menon (www.hanishkvc.com).
- Know C programming.
- Have some knowledge of OS concepts, such as interrupt handling, system calls, memory management.
- Know how to configure and make Linux kernel. You can find many helps on this if you are not very comfortable.
- Have some knowledge of MIPS CPU. More than likely you will need to deal with CP0 registers, enable or disable interrupts, etc..
- You don't have to be an expert in MIPS assembly, but total ignorance of it might make you handicapped in some situations.
- Obviously, you need a MIPS hardware to play with.
- Finally but most importantly, you need a willing-to-learn heart and perhaps many restless debugging hours. :-)
It is also highly recommanded to read through the Linux MIPS HOWTO by Ralf Bächle, email@example.com. By the way, as part of the pre-requisite, you should also remember Ralf's name. :-)
Kernel source trees
The common MIPS tree is the git tree at linux-mips.org. The current kernel version as of 2005/08/29 is 2.6.13. You can always check out earlier stable revisions by using "linux_2_4" or even "linux_2_2" branch tag.
Kernel patches
For various reasons, a kernel tree may leave bugs there for a quite long time before a suitable fix is checked in. There are various places to get patches. Here are some of the more common ones:
Cross-compilation and toolchains
More than likely your MIPS box does not run Linux yet (why would you bother otherwise?). Therefore you will need another machine to build the kernel image. Once the image is built, you need to download this image to your MIPS machine and let it run your MIPS kernel. This is called cross-development. Your MIPS box is often called the target machine and the machine used to build the kernel image is called the host machine.
Cross-development is common for developing on embedded targets, because usually embedded targets do not have enough power or the peripherals to develop natively.
The most common host machine is probably Linux on i386/PCs
You need to have cross-development tools setup on your host before you can start. Several years of experience have show that while you can find instructions to build cross-compilation tools, your best bet is probably to get some ready-made ones. Another reason is that a full toolchain build has become quite time consuming so you probably want to avoid it.
MontaVista used to offer for free Journeyman edition, which includes a full featured toolchain. Unfortunately, it does not offer that anymore. Instead you can download the preview kit, which includes a "slim" version of toolchain. You can get the kit from http://www.mvista.com/previewkit/index.html
Dan Kegel has a set of scripts that build cross-compiling tools. You can check it out here.
The following are links to pre-build toolchains, instructions to build your own toolchain and finally pre-compiled distributions for MIPS boards:
- Brad LaRonde's cross toolchain for Linux
- Steve Hill's toolchains for glibc and uClibc
- Toolchains from MIPS Technologies
- Distributions for MIPS
Overall porting steps
Depending on your specific cases, some of the following steps can be skipped.
- Hello World! - Get board setup, serial porting working, and print out "Hello, world!" through the serial port.
- Add your own code.
- Get early printk working - Make the first MIPS image and see the printk output from kernel.
- Serial Driver and Console - Get the real printk working with the serial console.
- KGDB can be enormously helpful in your development. It is highly recommended and it is not that difficult to set up.
- CPU support - If your MIPS CPU is not currently supported, you need to add new code that supports it.
- Board specific support - Create your board-specific directory. Setup interrupt routing/handling and kernel timer services.
- PCI subsystem - If your machine has PCI, you need to get the PCI subsystem working before you can use PCI devices.
- Ethernet drivers - You should already have the serial port working before attempting this. Usually the next driver you want is the ethernet driver. With ethernet driver working, you can set up a NFS root file system which gives you a fully working Linux userland.
- ROMFS root file system - Alternatively you can create a userland file system as a ROMFS image stored in a ramdisk.
- Some words on Debugging.

Friday, May 18, 2012 - Wank Party 2012 #5, Part 2
We continue Wank Party 2012 #5 with part 2. This Wank Party features Tomek Sirnad, Daniel Malecky, Kala Kolomaz,Milos Zambo anad Lukas Pribyl. As we join the guys Daniel and Kaja are taking turns to suck on Tomek, who is sucking Lukas. Lukas for his part is wanking on Milos big dick. The guys then separate so that Lukas has his cock in Daniel's mouth, while he is being sucked by Tomek. Kaja, meanwhile, is busy sucking Ondrej. Tomek is hungry for more cock and turns and goes down on Kaja's stiff member. All those cocks are rock hard as they suck each other before moving to some fucking. Tomek sits down on Kaja's throbbing cock and rides it, sucking Lukas as the same time. Milos has his cock rammed deep in Daniels eager ass, and is fucking him nice and hard. Tomek takes time out from sucking Lukas to turn his head and kiss Daniel, before returning his attention to Lukas. Lukas moves to the other side of Tomek, allowing him to continue sucking but so that Daniel can kiss over his body too. Tomek's dick is rock hard and standing to attention as Kaja fucks him nice and deep. Milos reaches round and wanks Daniel as he fucks that hot ass. Time to change and Tomek has Kaja bent over, so he can slide his big cock deep into his ass. Lukas goes onto his knees so that Kaja can suck his hard cock, while Daniel lays on his back with a leg in the air for Milos to fuck him even deeper. They are all loving that action and change again. This time Milos is fucking Tomek, with his own hole visible as he pounds that ass. Daniel has his dick deep in Kaja's hole pounding him hard. As Kaja is fucked by Daniel Lukas bends and starts to wank his hard cock. Things are building to a frenzy and they group around Lukas. Milos shoots a nice, creamy load over him, followed by Kaja. That send Lukas over the top and he drops his load too. Milos just cant stop though and shoots another creamy load on Lukas. This sets Kaja off too and he cums again. Lukas thinks he has had enough for today and calls things to a close. What a lovely party, with 5 stunning guys.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
We set up a screentest for newcomer Radim Valovy, with the lovely Rudy Bodlak. As often happens between solo shoots and getting the guy in for a duo, Radim has changed his hairstyle and color. Rudy does a brief interview with Radim, to find out a bit about him and then they get on with the action. They start by kissing and quickly remove their underwear. Rudy grabs hold of Radim's cock and wanks it a bit as he moves down to suck it. It quickly gets rock hard as Rudy sucks on it, with Radim reaching over for a feel of cock himself. He wanks on Rudy's hard cock as his is being sucked and they soon move to 69. Both the cocks are thick and very hard as they suck each other. Radim, it seems, is accomplished at sucking as he works his mouth all over Rudy's cock and suck at his balls too. Rudy moves to get between Radim's legs and starts to rim his ass. Radim continues to lap at Rudy's balls too. Then as Radim lays on his back Rudy climbs over him and positions his ass over his face for rimming. He sucks on Radim's throbbing dick as he feels that fongue on his hairy hole. Rudy is then ready for more and sits that hole down on Radim's big cock. He rides up and down on it, working his hole real well. His own cock is rampant as his ass is filled, with Radim fucking him real well. Rudy really takes it well, that thick cock stretching his hole very nicely. They change position with Rudy on his back, one leg held up and Radim's cock slamming in and out of his ass. Rudy moans with each thrust of that cock. Radim wants to go deeper and pushes Rudy's legs up above his chest so he can really pound that hole. He is soon ready to dump his load and pulls out, moving up to Rudy's face and delivers that cum all over it. Rudy takes the spent cock in his mouth to clean it off. Radim then positions himself with his face above Rudy's cock, waiting for him to cum too. His tongue hangs out of his mouth lapping at the cock as Rudy shoots his load. Then Radim closes his mouth around that sticky cockhead to suck it dry. He then moves up to kiss Rudy on the mouth, finishing his screentest very nicely. Both guys did very well indeed and Radim is very keen to show us more.

Our weather has been cold in Prague for several days. Maybe Derfla brought it over with him from the other side of the Pond. It does get somewhat warmer in the evenings. Not a good sign, as I have frequently said, May is usually the warmest month of the year in the Czech Republic.
Boris has been scheduling quite a few weekend shoots. Tomorrow at 1200 we'll be shooting a very good Screen Test with Lukas Pribyl. He's a real cutie and he's in today's Wank Party. He did jack several guys with very little prompting, and he was gladly passive for sucking. I'm sure he's agreed to do more, and I'm waiting with baited breath for tomorrow's shoot.
Part 2 of our latest Wank Party leads off today and what a great one it is too. That is followed by two erotic videos, Andrej Protasiewicz and Jan Mikulec. Last up for today is Pavel Hepnar's session stills.
We also have three good guys in castings today, Radim Valovy, Rado Sovac and Martin Nagy. My choice for today has to be the lovely Radim Valovy, we have done several shoots with him already.

"He knew a lot of people, and he had tons of friends," Gary East said of his uncle. "He could go anywhere, and everybody knew him."
Thompson, 30, was gunned down in the middle of the day Wednesday outside a Landmark Apartments building in the 500 block of West Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. He died in a hospital emergency room within a half hour, and three suspects were taken into custody at an adjacent building within the complex soon afterward.
Those men include two suspected members of the Zone 4 street gang: Duane P. Simmons, 21, and Denzell Gayton, 20. Simmons has been previously targeted by the city's anti-gun violence initiative Don't Shoot, and both have previous weapons and drug arrests.
Also apprehended was Orlando Mathews, 20, who also has previous weapons arrests and is on parole for a 2012 case involving felony weapon use.
All three men remain in custody at the Peoria County Jail awaiting formal charges and a bond hearing before a judge. They must be charged by Friday afternoon or released.
Police have said the incident that led to the shooting appeared to be drug-related. East said he and his family don't know all the details of the crime but believe Thompson may have been set up to be robbed.
"It doesn't make any sense," East, 25, said of his uncle's death. "Nobody can believe it."
East, who lives in California, and other members of the extended family around the country are making plans to return to Peoria for funeral services. Arrangements have not yet been made public.
In the meantime, the nephew clings to memories of Thompson as a person who was easy to get along with and who he tried to convince to move to the West Coast with other members of the family.
"He didn't want to leave the people he grew up with in Peoria," East said. "He was goofy. He was funny. He was the 'cool uncle.'"
East added: "There was never any drama with him, that's why everybody is just so shocked."
