Smartphone industry gets greener as Sprint adopts AirCarbon
The smartphone industry is becoming greener, as handset and accessory developers find new ways to be more environmentally friendly.
While people have been recycling their phones for some time, they are only now able to purchase accessories made out of recycled parts.
Sprint has announced that it will become one of the first companies to use AirCarbon – a new material created from greenhouse gas used to produce plastic products.
The telecommunications company will use the material to manufacture black and pink phone cases for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s.
These will be sold exclusively at Sprint.com from later this month onwards. The cases retail at $29.99 (£17.80), plus tax.
By releasing the cases, Sprint has become the first telecommunications company in the world to launch a carbon-negative product using AirCarbon.
This material is manufactured by California-based Newlight Technologies and has been praised for its versatility.
David Owens, Sprint's senior vice president of product, said: "We are pleased to introduce this new technology – essentially turning greenhouse gas into a plastic that has the potential to replace petroleum-based plastics.
"This innovation is another example of Sprint's leadership in providing eco-friendly products to our customers."
AirCarbon is the result of a proprietary carbon capture process, which converts air and greenhouse gases into plastic.
The finished product has a similar durability and overall quality as petroleum-based plastics but has the added bonus of being more environmentally friendly.
By synthesising high-performance thermoplastics from sources such water treatment plants, landfills, anaerobic digesters, or energy facilities, the material helps to lower carbon footprints.
Mark Herrema, Newlight Technologies co-founder and chief executive officer, said that AirCarbon "offers a new paradigm in which products we use every day, like cellphone cases, become part of the environmental solution".
He added that he is thankful for businesses like Sprint which are willing to innovate and lead the charge towards more environmentally friendly products.

Little Distractions by Linda S. Glaz
How on earth did I get involved in so many "other" activities than merely my writing? Words, typos, unwanted punctuation!!!
Writers fill their work with a lot of extraneous words for starters and, unfortunately, a great deal of typos. How do they make it to the publisher and past without correction?
A couple years ago when I did online reviewing, I downloaded a book that seemed to hold a lot of promise. Story was great, but layout? Not so great. The novel, while not only being filled with 60+ typos, was also full of just, that, never, always, even, and enough !!!!!! to no doubt set a record.
When I wrote the pubber and asked if they needed proofreaders, I was told they didn't at the time-hmmmm-nonetheless, I was put on a list in case they needed anyone else. They eventually did and I became a first reader for them. Later, a final reader. Now, I realize I'm a bit anal about such things, but come on, 60+ typos in one manuscript?
What stands out to you when you read a book? Something that really scrapes your nerves faster than a cheese grater does fingers. Is it men who growl, snarl? Women who whimper and sigh? Once or twice, okay, but when that's all they're doing, when do they have time to live out their stories?

I know that typos get left in when we do edits. For whatever reason.
But I cringe when I see them. And yes 60+ looks like the proofreader wasn't even trying.

Growl. Had to laugh here - yes, I've heard it (used it), but it doesn't work as well in print!
The word that scratches my blackboard is "strode." Once or twice may be okay. Maybe. But I've read books that threw it at me from nearly every page. Irritating.

Any word that is used often enough that we start to become aware of it is said to 'echo' and becomes a distraction. A lot of us have words that we use too often are desensitized to. In my case a favorite is the word 'that' and the word 'just.' I note that a lot of people overuse the word OK - which I become very aware of since I generally change it to okay as it should be written.

And of course, He and She. As often as the 'show don't tell' advise is handed out, it appears way to often in manuscripts. It takes some creativity to use them less and I think some authors do not want to 'work' so hard.
- January 16, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Another bit of "writerese" that jumps out at me is the word "munch." Why can't a writer have people simply eat something?

The one that gets me is when a character "fists his hand".
I was at my parents' house over the holidays and Mom was reading book in which the female character was fainting at some of the silliest things.
In one book I read recently, the female character kept getting locked into places. First it was a shed and then it was a barn and then it was some house out in the middle of no where. You would think she would learn eventually.

"Fists his hand"? Sounds like a bad translation. Would the same character smile his mouth?

American Bar Association SElects EMC's Mozy to Join the ABA New Member Benefit Advantage Program as Online Backup Provider
New Program Targets Small- to Medium-sized Law Firms
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – August 6, 2008 – Mozy, Inc., an EMC Company (NYSE:EMC) and the leader in online backup for businesses and consumers, today announced an agreement with the American Bar Association to launch a new ABA member program designed to ease the challenges associated with backing up vital information. Through the ABA Member Advantage Program, the ABA is making available to its members special pricing if they choose the Mozy™ service as their firm's online backup provider.
"The American Bar Association sets the standards of excellence for the legal community, and we're honored to be a provider of online backup for their members," said Vance Checketts, chief operating officer of Mozy Inc., an EMC Company. "Mozy understands the needs of legal firms and reliably backs up critical data for thousands of lawyers today."
IT staff at legal firms face many challenges, but case file and message retention - and data protection in general - are amongst the biggest of their headaches. Information loss can threaten a firm's existence, yet even the biggest investments in on-site backup can't protect against loss from natural disasters, theft, and user error.
In the past six months, Mozy's law firm customer base has grown 200 percent. The service is growing in popularity because it automatically protects digital information, including case files, spreadsheets, e-mail and financial documents, from data loss in the event of a hard drive crash, accidental deletion, natural disaster or theft. All files are encrypted first on the user's machine and then securely transferred to Mozy's remote data centers via the same encryption methods used for online banking.
Mozy is the leader in online data backup for consumers and businesses. With more than 750,000 users and 20,000 business customers, Mozy offers a simple, automatic and secure service for backing up data over the Internet. Mozy was acquired by EMC Corporation in 2007 and operates as part of the EMC Cloud Infrastructure and Services Division. Information can be found at www.mozy.com
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) is the world's leading developer and provider of information infrastructure technology and solutions that enable organizations of all sizes to transform the way they compete and create value from their information. Information about EMC's products and services can be found at www.EMC.com
With more than 413,000 members, the American Bar Association is the largest voluntary professional membership organization in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

So where are the backups? Isn't this data backed up? If it is...is it checked? Losing data is a very bad thing obviously, which is why you have a good backup plan in place. How does this happen?
Ok, I just read a few post down and see the answers to my questions. I commend them for explaining the situation. That being said, the most important piece of a backup plan is testing, testing and more testing. Test restores must be done. You need to know before that disaster happens if your backups are corrupt.

Rad Lovett recalls a conversation he had with UNF President John Delaney early in his administration in which they discussed making Transformational Learning Opportunities such as studying abroad available to all students.
"I always recognized how important my study-abroad experience was to me, but until that conversation I didn't realize how important it could be in transforming the lives of other students," Lovett said. "John wanted to make this a hallmark initiative at UNF and suddenly it made perfect sense to me. A light bulb went off, and I realized how important it was to incorporate these opportunities into our UNF scholarship."
That conversation played a major role in Lovett's decision to make one of the lead gifts of $1 million to The Power of Transformation Campaign for the University of North Florida. His support for Transformational Learning Opportunities is now a major part of the previously established Katherine H. Lovett Endowed Scholarship Fund. In addition to providing scholarship assistance, each Lovett scholar is eligible to receive support for study-abroad programs or undergraduate research.
Delaney said he couldn't be happier with Lovett's decision to incorporate transformational learning into the family scholarship program. "We all know that the true university experience extends beyond the classroom. Rad's willingness to give students opportunities for transformational experiences is truly appreciated."
Lovett himself had an opportunity to study in Uruguay and remembers what an important role it played in his life. "It was a life-altering experience," he said.
But perhaps even more compelling for Lovett is the experience of meeting and getting to know students awarded a Lovett Scholarship since it was initially established in 2003 to honor the memory of his mother, Katherine H. Lovett, who died in 1991 at age 57.
Lovett is quick to tell stories about scholarship recipients who have traveled abroad, such as Stacey Enriquez, who studied in South Africa. "She worked in a hospital in South Africa and made a difference in the lives of the kids she helped. It changed how she viewed the world," he said.
Lovett is sure his mother would have approved of the lives changed through the family's scholarship. "She emphasized education more than anything else in terms of the opportunity to transform people's lives."
"We started with a relatively small scholarship program, but after meeting with those students for a couple of years and seeing the difference we were making in their lives, it really motivated me to work toward increasing the scholarship," Lovett said.
Lovett is far more than a UNF donor. He has been involved in the UNF Foundation for more than 15 years, including a stint as its president. Dr. Pierre N. Allaire, vice president for Institutional Advancement, said Lovett's long-standing dedication to the Foundation is epitomized by his willingness to co-chair the campaign. "This type of selfless dedication is a model of leadership which will inspire the success of our campaign," he said.
Lovett's emphasis on education is also reflected in being a co-founder and former chairman of the Jacksonville Jaguars' Honor Rows program. He's also a past president of the Youth Crisis Center.
When not volunteering, Lovett is the managing director and co-founding partner of Lovett Miller & Co., a Florida-based venture capital and private equity firm. He has also served as founder, chairman and CEO of TowerCom Enterprises and TowerCom Development, wireless-communication infrastructure developers.
But Lovett acknowledges UNF remains a major focus in his life, especially since he is co-chairing The Power of Transformation campaign. Through the campaign, Lovett said he hopes to give other donors the opportunity he has had to become acquainted with scholarship recipients and make a difference in their lives.

If you like breakfast that tastes like dessert, you'll looooove today's recipe. Our slimmed-down take on a nutritional flop from IHOP rules, people... Ingredients: 1/4 tsp. sugar-free French vanilla powdered creamer (like the kind by Coffee-mate) 2 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature 2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda or Truvia) 1/8 tsp. vanilla extract 1/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Dash salt
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry preserves 5 frozen unsweetened strawberries, partially thawed and sliced 1/2 tsp. powdered sugar 2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip Directions: To make the cheesecake topping, in a small bowl, mix powdered creamer with 1 tsp. hot water until dissolved. Add cream cheese, 1 sweetener packet, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Cover and chill for at least 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, remaining sweetener packet, and salt. Stir in egg substitute and 1/4 cup water. Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add half of the batter to form a large pancake. Cook until pancake begins to bubble and is solid enough to flip, 2 - 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook until both sides are lightly browned and inside is cooked through, 1 - 2 minutes. Plate your pancake. Remove skillet from heat, re-spray, and return to medium-high heat. Repeat with remaining batter to make a second pancake. Give cheesecake topping a stir and spread half of it onto one pancake. Top with the other pancake and spread with remaining cheesecake topping. In a microwave-safe bowl, thoroughly mix preserves with 1 tbsp. hot water. Add sliced strawberries and toss to coat. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm. Top pancakes with strawberry topping, powdered sugar, and Reddi-wip. Chow down! MAKES 1 SERVING

It's not a question of whether we want a plate of pancakes infused with cheesecakey deliciousness. Of course we do -- it's a tasty merger of two kinds of cake. The problem is (no surprise!) that it comes with crazy-ridiculous nutritionals. The stats below are for a 3-pancake serving, which is actually the portion served as a side dish. If you go for the full 4-pancake platter, expect to spend 1,100 calories and 44g fat (PointsPlus® value 30*). Who needs to consume over a THOUSAND fatty calories first thing in the morning!? Nobody. We repeat, nobody! But at the same time, this IHOP treat sounds REALLY appealing. HG to the rescue! We used this dish as inspiration for our own cheesecake-pancake creation. We pared it down to a more reasonable portion size and used our best tricks to dish out fluffy pancakes covered with sweet, cheesy goodness. And the strawberry topping -- we didn't forget about that delicious fruity goo. So the next time you start dreaming about dessert-breakfast hybrids, stay out of trouble (and out of IHOP)... just head to your kitchen!

When Max Jean entered Barry University's Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program as an undergraduate student, his plan was to earn a bachelor's degree in biology, apply to medical school and pursue a medical degree. After being exposed to Barry's RISE program, however, he decided to add one more degree to his list – a Ph.D.
"My plan was to always pursue a medical degree," said Jean, who graduated from Barry in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in biology. "The RISE program opened my eyes to the other side of science and medicine as far as knowing more about what research is and what it entails. Research was something I thought about but didn't have a good understanding of, and the RISE program allowed me to consider it as part of a future career."
The RISE program, which was created by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to enhance the research environment at minority-serving institutions, aims to increase the interest, skills and competitiveness of biology and chemistry majors in pursuit of biomedical research careers. RISE students matriculate into Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences.
Jean, who is in his second year in the Medical Scientist Training (MD/PhD) Program at the University of Rochester Medical Center, entered Barry's RISE program as a sophomore. As part of the RISE program, students are required to maintain a certain GPA; carry out research on-campus with Barry faculty; complete a summer internship at another university; attend and participate in the university's annual RISE seminar series; and participate and present at regional, national or international conferences.
During his three years as a RISE student, Jean not only fulfilled these requirements but used them as opportunities to gain valuable experience in his field and build an extensive resume with journal publications, conference presentations, clinical shadowing experience, national research and presentation awards, and awards at Barry related to his major and minor, including "Outstanding General Chemistry Student of the Year," "Outstanding Physics Student of the Year" and "Outstanding Biology Major."
In addition to conducting research with members of Barry's biology faculty, Jean also served as a summer research intern for the microbiology department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
After graduating from the RISE program, Jean continued to gain experience in the field by working as a RISE tutor and a laboratory technician for Barry's biology program. In these positions, he managed supplies, conducted experiments, and tutored biology and chemistry RISE students, among other responsibilities.
Upon graduation from the MD/PhD program, Jean, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in virology, hopes to pursue a career studying and treating infectious diseases.
"At the end of this, I am expecting that I will be very well versed and trained in knowing how to conduct effective and efficient research, and I will be the best doctor I can be."

Bellissima! Yves Saint Laurent's Nail Touch
Bellissima! Yves Saint Laurent's Nail Touch
Yves Saint Laurent can now add another product to its beloved line of click-able makeup. First came the famous Touche Eclat Highlighter, then the gorgeous and glittery Touche Brilliance for Lips, and finally the flawless face Perfect Touch Foundation. But this baby is by far the coolest of the bunch!
Allow me to introduce the Yves Saint Laurent Nail Touch nail polish pen ($23). Say so long to messy bottles that can spill and gooey caps that get stuck. With a couple of clicks of this no-fuss pen, you can polish your nails in one easy step — and with one hand.
The fluid tool releases just the right amount of sheer, high-shine lacquer to coat each nail, while a blend of solvents dry the polish upon application. It is also supposed to be long-lasting and chip resistant, since the finish is so thin. For the rest of the details,
To use, simply shake before opening, then remove the cap and click away until the brush loads. As soon as you see polish, stop clicking and paint. Right now, Nail Touch is available in six shimmery pastel shades:
- Golden Beige Reflections is a light shimmery gold polish.
- Pearly Light Beige is a nude polish with opalescent shine that's a touch deeper than Golden Beige.
- Parma Radiance is a shimmery, sheer lavender polish.
- Metallic Pink Radiance is a sheer baby-pink polish with hefty shine.
- Secret Radiance is a crystal-clear polish.
- Pearly White Sparkle is more opaque than Secret Radiance and looks like a cloud-colored opal polish on the nail.

Are you headed in the right direction? By Bob Collier
The pastor of a large urban parish did a TV series called "The Kingdom of God." Each week on the morning after the show aired he would visit sick parishioners in the hospital. On one such visit, he received an unusually enthusiastic greeting from a man who had been hospitalized for weeks. Said the patient, "You'll be glad to know that we all watched your program last night. There was only one TV available in the ward, so we had to decide by majority vote what programs we would watch. During your time-slot, it came down to 'The Kingdom of God,' or 'American Idol.' You won by one vote." Said the pastor later, "I thought to myself that when we can beat 'American Idol' with 'The kingdom of God' at, last, we're headed in the right direction!"
"Don't ask me about what was, but what is to come," the Apostle Peter told the early Christians. He was pointing them in the direction of the coming again of Christ. We present day Christians, if we are true to our calling, are pointing in the same direction.
If we are true to our calling, we are instruments of and witnesses to the coming of the rule of God, the coming of the fullness of the kingdom of God. But, always we are confronted by the gnawing question, the ever-present question, "Though we have been pointed in the right direction, are we on our way, at last?" This is what the Advent season is all about. It puts the question before us, head-on. It calls us to repentance. It tells us that to be on our way at last, we must be willing to make changes in our way of living.
Often we fail to be the signals pointing toward the beloved kingdom of love.
Often we fail in our efforts to cast off all traces of self-centeredness, egoism and pride.
"Stay awake," Jesus says. "Stay awake, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming...if he comes unexpectedly, he must not find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake!" (Mk. 13:32,35-37).
What we do know, what we are absolutely certain of is, of course, the reality of the Lord's love and concern for us and the reality that He is with us now. The Lord wants us to be wide awake to this reality. The Lord wants us to be on the watch constantly for signs of his loving presence in our lives. The Lord wants us to be on the watch for each and every opportunity to be a sign of his loving presence in our relationships with other persons.
During the next few weeks continue to look for Christ in Christmas.
Bob Collier is the pastor of North Salem Church of God.

This site was chosen Geek Site of the Day for 9 October 1995!
Hoo hah!
It was mentioned in the February 1996 issue of Advanced Imaging.
This site is proudly free of browser-crashing useless things (frames)
As seen in BBC Music Magazine!
Now that that's out of the way....
Welcome to the World Wide Web page thatquacks at you! I'm trying to add something new to this site from time to time, unlike some commercial Web pages that start off really gung-ho and then kind of forget about it for a while.... You know who you are! So far, there aren't very many spiffy graphics or other things, but we'll try awfully hard to have as much fun as possible anyway.
So if you don't know who I am, who am I? Just this guy, you know. I am a Los Angeles native, yet another one of those typical computer types living in Southern California. I'm a Webhead and computer professional living in North Hollywood, the heart of the motion picture and television industries. I am a straight single male (a commodity as common as dirt, and valued nearly as highly), and I received my college education in San Francisco and Minneapolis before returning to Los Angeles. By day I provide tech support, including mostly Windows systems, but some Mac. Among my interests are classical music, science fiction, and ducks, and there is a sampling of all of these among the links on my special Links Page. Can you dig it?
In case you're curious, here's what I look like, greeting famous filmmaker Ray Harryhausen. (Photo by Chaz Boston Baden.)
Note: These pages are enhanced (slightly) for Netscape. Yeah, yeah, it'll also work just fine in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Mozilla. There are no frames here; I certainly know how to write them, but I don't have any particular need for them here. Looking for my fabulous list of annotated links? It's on a separate page so that this home page will load faster.
At long last, my quirky commentary on the seminal science-fiction-spy series "The Prisoner" is now online, a provocative essay entitled simply, Who is Number 1? My theory.
The main attraction is still The Hector Berlioz Page, a Web site devoted to the amazing French composer Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), his life, his writings, and his music. This includes the entire text of my 1983 M.A. thesis from the University of Minnesota on performance practice of his Grande Messe des morts (also known as the Requiem). The current version of this page also includes GIFs of the composer and of his tomb, along with my recommendations of recordings of the Requiem. I have even added a complete list of the 51 recordings of the work which I own. And there will be yet more to come (someday, in my copious spare time)!
Looking for my fabulous list of annotated links? It's on a separate page so that this home page will load faster.
Some select and slightly outré science fiction links, including some regarding Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), the great polymath who created several of the great classics of the field, practically in his spare time while he wasn't writing something else. If you will be satisfied with something far more modest, check out my brief review of Forward the Foundation.
All kinds of political and social ramblings. Wow! Aren't you just quivering in anticipation? Topics will include the ethical poverty of so many American politicians (with particular attention to the Republicans, and not merely because they seem to be in power right now); the plan for world domination by the purveyors of rock and so-called "popular" music; and anything else that I happen to like to rant about. (What, controversy on the World Wide Web? What is this world coming to???)
There is some much tamer content, too. For example try looking at a simple series of reviews.
John Brunner: A Remembrance, an essay written on the occasion of the passing (in August 1995) of the great English science fiction writer. Brunner, as you may know, was the first to warn us (in his novel, The Shockwave Rider, published in 1975!) of the potential dangers of world-wide computer connectivity, to wit, the computer "worm," or what we today would call a virus. And he has never been given his due by the dumb media as the true proto-founder of "Cyberpunk" literature, years before the much better-publicized William Gibson and the rest.
And speaking of things British, I found an old diskette containing a detailed journal of a trip I made to England, Scotland and Wales back in 1985. I had taken copious notes on that trip (not something I usually do) and later wrote it up as a journal entitled Happy and Glorious, and distributed this to family and friends. This is probably the single largest chunk of my writing in existence, if that matters to anybody. It is now offered here for your enjoyment.
Links to the sparse resources on the Internet regarding our web-footed friends, members of the family Anatidae, those cute little flat-billed birdies that we all know as ducks. Again, expect some pleasant pics of these charming quackers if I can get someone else to host them and help me keep my ISP from charging me extra!
The list won't end here, of course. If there's anything else I haven't thought of, rest assured that I'll eventually put it up here, so check back from time to time.

First things first: Inside Planet Earth is in no way related to the BBC production of a similar name, though some of the subject matter is similar. This 2009 Discovery Channel production runs just 84 minutes, yet it covers plenty of ground in a short period of time; specifically, the ground beneath our feet. Like most nature-based documentaries, it relies heavily on scenic footage and concise, clear narration to tell its story in an entertaining and educational way. Due to the largely inaccessible areas it looks at, though, Inside Planet Earth uses a wealth of computer-rendered footage to show us how the Earth operates from the inside out.
Inside Planet Earth earns plenty of points for its subject matter alone: often times, the planet's surface is barely scratched. Instead of the typical mixture of cavern, ocean or space footage, we're given a glimpse of what mankind may very well never reach: the mysterious, inhospitable mass of rocks, minerals and lava beneath the Earth's continental crust. Though the crust is only 20-30 miles deep in most areas, mankind has never ventured deeper than 8 miles down; even then, long-term exploration has proven impossible, even with protective gear. However, using a combination of theories, equations and seismic equipment, scientists have been able to make reasonable guesses about what's underneath. We may never reach anywhere close to the planet's outer core (nearly 2,000 miles down), but it's not like we'd want to anyway: temperatures there are comparable to those on the surface of the Sun.
Aside from our literally layered journey downward, Inside Planet Earth reminds us how the surface of our planet is affected by what goes on inside---and, most importantly, how fragile our precise ecosystem really is. From the magnetic shield created by the Earth's core to masses of magma from flowing volcanoes, the majority of surface-dwelling life would be altered drastically if things changed...even by a fraction. Featuring concise narration by Rob Naughton (Treasure Quest), Inside Planet Earth is a compelling, educational and highly accessible documentary that fans of all ages should certainly enjoy. If you're the type that normally falls asleep during these things, Inside Planet Earth might just be your gateway drug.
Presented on DVD by Image Entertainment, Inside Planet Earth arrives on DVD with plenty going for it. Aside from the strength of the main feature, there's also a solid technical presentation and a few well-intentioned extras...including a bonus film that's longer than the main feature itself. All things considered, it's one package that documentary fans won't want to ignore.
No major complaints here. Presented in its original 1.78:1 aspect ratio and enhanced for 16x9 displays, Inside Planet Earth looks roughly on par with most modern nature documentaries. Obviously, there's a bit of difference: since many of the visuals are computer-rendered, they look clean, clear and free from major digital imperfections. Some of the stock footage and on-the-fly segments don't quite match up, but that's strictly due to the source material. The film's natural color palette appears accurate, black levels are solid and edge enhancement is kept to a minimum.
The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track is less impressive but still has its moments. Separation is strong and the narration comes through clearly, never fighting for attention with the film's occasionally dramatic score. A surround mix would've been interesting, but what's here still gets the job done. Optional English SDH captions are presented during the main feature and some of the extras.
Also here is a like-minded Bonus Film entitled "Amazing Earth" (94:14), narrated by Patrick Stewart. The subject matter explained here is highly similar to Inside Planet Earth and there's some mild overlap, but this detailed documentary focuses more on the Earth's formation and history. Still, we also learn more about its structure as well, including how tectonic plate collisions, volcanic eruptions and other natural forces gradually (and drastically) changed the landscape over millions of years. Stewart's narration is a true highlight as well: his voice is strong and expressive, lending a heightened sense of drama to the eye-opening visuals. Like Inside Planet Earth, it's entertaining and educational from start to finish, even during periods of pure speculation.
Both bonus features are presented in anamorphic widescreen ("Amazing Earth" looks closer to 1.66:1), but only the deleted scenes lack optional English SDH captions. This is an unfortunate oversight, but at least the lengthy bonus film includes them.
Entertaining, accessible and informative, Inside Planet Earth is a standout documentary that even casual fans will enjoy. Filled with plenty of eye-opening visuals and interesting experiments, you'll walk away with a greater understand of what's going on right beneath your feet. Image Entertainment's DVD release certainly carries its own weight, offering a solid technical presentation and plenty of bonus content to chew on. All things considered, it's a solid package with a reasonable ticket price---and with content this strong, what more could you ask for? Highly Recommended for homes and classrooms alike.

Agree on education - this is ultimately more important than enforcement.
I believe this could be best achieved by introducing a minimum passing distance regulation, which would then become an element of driver education and training, and of driver licence testing.
Personally I have no issue with similar training for cyclists - it seems ludicrous that anyone would be allowed to use the road with no knowledge of the traffic regulations, and yes schools are probably the place to deliver it.
Also I think anyone who uses ignorance of the regulations as a defence should be required to pass the licence test again.


text: Hi guys, A bit of newb when it comes to Linux, have managed to install a server with Centos6 and ISPConfig to manage the hosting of some sites and also have a domain name registered with GoDaddy which has the A record of mydomain.com pointing to my servers IP address. I need to create sub domains such as test.mydomain.com as I have a wiki script running on one machine with an internal IP of lets say 192.168.1.10:8097 and another script on 192.168.1.11:8095 Have created the DNS entries on ISPConfig3 by following various examples found here etc but the result is that no matter what addressI give it, it just points to the main mydomain.com. Do I need to configure ISPConfig (if yes how-step by step would be awesome) or GoDaddy (if yes how) Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Bel canto for the ears, bel canto for the eyes. With a painterly new production, the Boston Lyric Opera presents the final work of its season this week with Bellini�s "I Puritani" at the Shubert Theatre in Boston.
It�s a visually striking production, but not without its flaws, for an aurally appealing opera that is also not without its flaws. In all, a stalwart cast, singing Bellini�s challenging parts with terrific musicianship, gave this production broad appeal.
Bellini set "I Puritani" in 17th century England, after Cromwell had overthrown and executed Charles I. The historic setting serves merely as a backdrop for the opera�s lovers, Elvira (the compelling soprano Sarah Coburn) and Arturo (tenor John Tessier), and their ill-fated relationship.
Apart from the singers, stage director Crystal Manich, set designer John Conklin, costume designer Gail Astrid Buckley and lighting designer Paul Hackenmueller deserve the credit for creating appeal in this production. The carefully scripted blocking from the chorus and soloists, along with the precisely envisioned color schemes and sets, made this "Puritani" a pleasure to look at throughout.
But first the singers. Mix one outstanding lyric soprano with a virile set of striking male voices, and you have a recipe for a winning performance. Coburn�s did not fail to meet the expectations in Bellini�s role as the hapless central figure who descends into madness when her fianc� apparently runs off with another woman (he didn�t; he surreptitiously aids the escape of his queen, Henrietta, Charles� widow, a small role sung emotionally by soprano Chelsea Basler).
Coburn�s strength came in her facile tone, which never wavered even as Bellini pushed her range to its upper limits (something the composer does to all the singers). She sang many highlights, like the aching (for those who know what will happen to her) coloratura aria "Son vergin vezzosa" in act one.
Bass Paul Whelan, singing the role of her uncle and supporter Giorgio, sang with force and intelligence as well, his voice pushed to equally demanding extremes. His aria "Cinta di fiori," at a pivotal moment in act two, had real passion. Bellini also challenged the range of Arturo, pushing Tessier into countertenor territory at times as he explains his machinations to Elvira. Tessier�s rival Riccardo, sung with equal skill by baritone Troy Cook, also managed his challenges with great musicianship. Tenor Omar Najmi and bass Liam Moran sang well in supporting roles.
The set, costumes, and color choices were a marvel; the acting in this production made the most of this static opera, but certainly never raised itself to action film levels. The chorus, dressed strikingly in Puritan army silver-and-black for the men and crimson gowns for the women, spent the entire production striking tableaux vivants about the stage. This generally worked well, although quizzical hand gestures and fidgeting over flower wreaths quickly wore out their mysterious purpose.
The lighting design was of the highest level, creating mood and appeal without distracting from the music. The were some moments - the women in crimson, the men in black, with yellow flowers strewn about the stage and tragic shadows cast everywhere - that looked like an El Greco painting.
Annoyingly, for those guests whose Italian may not be what it used to be, the subtitles only worked in fits and starts, leaving many of the crucial plot announcements for the cognoscenti. The orchestra, under the direction of BLO music director David Angus, played with subtle accompaniment.
"I Puritani" runs through Sunday at the Shubert Theatre. For tickets and information visit www.blo.org or call 617-542-6672.

Non-Medicaid Spending
Medicaid isn't the only commitment the federal government has to fund into the future. At the federal level, the growth in health care expenditures is our most serious domestic policy problem, and Medicare is the most challenging component.[66] For decades, annual Medicare spending has increased slightly more than 2 percentage points faster than gross domestic product.[67] If we continue to consume products whose costs are growing faster than national income, that consumption will eventually crowd out every other thing we are consuming. For instance, the Congressional Budget Office found that if federal income tax rates were raised to allow the government to continue its current level of activity and balance its budget:[68]
- The lowest marginal income tax rate — 10 percent — would have to rise to 26 percent.[69]
- The 25 percent marginal tax rate — the tax bracket many two-income families — would have to rise to 66 percent.[70]
- The highest marginal income tax rate — 35 percent — would have to rise to 92 percent.[71]
If such marginal tax hikes were realized, the federal government's ability to raise sufficient tax revenue for its spending commitments would diminish as the rates rose and people lost the incentive to work.

Moron on board would be more appropriate for many.

Yes, indeed I do intend to Bless a novice nun on the 27th at the chapel in Jumpers Road, Christchurch, Dorset. The service of Blessing was received from Bishop Jerome yesterday and has been shared with two other monasteries. The novice nun concerned will act as my secretary-cum-assistant in administering the missions that we now have: Saint Nectan Monastery Mission in Devon, Saint Eanswythe Monastery Mission in Dorset and Saint Swithbert Monastery Mission in Holland.Fr.

Valiants Hold Off Late Rally to Defeat Rams in Season Opener
Manhattanville - 9, Farmingdale State - 7
Purchase, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's lacrosse
team opened up their season against former Skyline opponent
Manhattanville College in Purchase, N.Y. The Valiants and sophomore
Joey Hasbrouck (Wantagh, N.Y.), who tallied a career-high four
assists, held off a late rally to defeat the Rams by a score of 9-7
Wednesday at GoValiants.com Field.
The Valiants struck first as Hasbrouck fed Mike Strauss (Newak, Del.) for a man-up goal midway through the first quarter. Hasbrouck would find Strauss again with a man-up in the second quarter for Strauss' team-high fourth goal of the season. Despite finding the back of the cage first, the Valiants found themselves down 3-2 after one quarter of action as the Rams scored two man-up goals of their own. The goals came from junior Sean Maxwell (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) and freshman Eddie Rifice (Babylon, N.Y./Babylon). Senior Jay Berndt (Brewster, N.Y./Brewster) scored the third goal with 42 seconds left in the quarter.
The second quarter was all Manhattanville as the Valiants
outshot Farmingdale 20-1 and put up five goals. Andrew McMillin
(Garden City, N.Y.) scored twice in the second to lead the
Manhattanville attack. Max Garofalo (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) scored
his first of the year, and Lance Schulman (Mount Kisco, N.Y.) also
found the back of the cage to send Manhattanville into halftime up
Sophomore Matt Hanley (Milton, Mass.) tallied the would-be game-winner early in the third quarter firing a shot past Leone unassisted. With a comfortable 8-4 lead, Farmingdale increased the pressure and scored the next three goals, all even-strength, to pull within one with 11:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. With 27 seconds remaining in the fourth, Schulman scored his second goal of the game to give seal Manhattanville's second straight victory. Held without a goal in eight games last season, Schulman now has three goals in two games to rank second on the team in scoring.
Maxwell led the Rams with two goals for the night, along with Jo Stroessenreuther (Bethpage, N.Y./Bethpage) with two goals and one assist. Senior Joe Meola (Rocky Point, N.Y./Rocky Point) scored one goal and two assists. Junior Teddy Leone (East Meadow, N.Y./East Meadow) finished with nine saves on 42 shots faced.
Farmingdale State will host Oswego in the home opener on Sunday, March 9th at 1:00 p.m.

Japanese people always find time to slip in how environmentally friendly they are.
I'll be off drinking beers and some Japanese guy will come along an tell me about how Americans are so wasteful and how I'm destroying the world.
And while he'll lack the balls to go full out, like your average douchey American guy from Boulder, who'd be doing back flips to tell me about how his Prius owns my Camero and how special he is, the Japanese guy will definitely make a few covert gestures in his ride's general direction.
That's the Japanese, polite enough to subtly point out how they're better than you, instead of screaming in your face. Even in a society that downplays the braggart cocksucker, people still love to smell their own farts.
Oh, Japan you do some things right, no doubt, but don't just go on universally praising yourself just yet.
I'll say you're on the right track, albeit, caveats included:
Solar Power
Japan hates the sun. It's summer now, it's hot, and yet, people are wearing more clothes now in the middle of the summer than you'll find them with in the middle of winter to shield their skin.
However, they absolutely love the sun's ability to power their homes. The Japanese government eagerly jumped on subsidizing the installation of solar power arrays for private and public use early on in the game.
Riding on trains I see a plethora of roofs with their arrays gleaming in the sunshine.
It's expensive to establish, but once going, folks can sell back energy into the grid, saving cash in the long run.
Unfortunately, the government stopped subsidizing it in 2006 and people stopped caring.
They're looking to reintroduce them in order to meet epic goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 60-80% by 2050, but with the awesome debt they've been able to dig for themselves, it seems like quite a feat.
This all hinges on a government without money and the fact that people are only going to use these systems if they're cheap to implement. At the end of the day, people here (and most everywhere) don't see the long term savings when compared next to short term costs.
Good luck on the second Solar Panel Revolution, Japan! On the plus side, your electronics companies could use something to do to stave off all that bleeding!
Public Transportation Alternatives
Japan does public transportation pretty damn well. As I wrote about in my 'Living Cheaply" post, a good majority of people are still getting by in my town on bicycles. Unfortunately, government money supporting many of the public systems with little traffic are often finding themselves cut out entirely (I've seen a number of bus lines go down recently in my rural neck of the woods).
The expense of travel has often kept people from setting off in their cars to cover large distances, although recent reductions in highway tolls on weekends have increased the number of people getting out across Japan in their cars, perhaps creating more pollution that the government expected.
Getting people out there to spend their yen still trumps reducing pollution. Sorry green movement, economy 1, environment 0.
This is being subsidized again by that government under a mountain of debt.
Cars and the Hybrid Movement
At the very least, Japan's hybrid movement is still going strong. I see tons of these things on the road, but it'd sure be nice to see some new designs out there. I'd rather choke on a cock then drive something as ugly as a Prius. My girlfriend drives one and while I'm more than happy to be a passenger, I never really feel like getting behind the wheel. It just doesn't feel like a car.
Japan should watch out. Although the US fell woefully behind in the market, they've now hit rock bottom and are really pressing to diversify and get back in the game. Tesla motors had the smart idea to sell a bunch of high-end electric roadsters to rich folks in America. They're now introducing a sedan for about $50,000 and are hitting the European market. While Toyota and the others invest huge amounts of money to slightly improve the battery size of their hybrids, they might want to keep up innovation in other areas. Their hybrid models make me yawn when I can dream of a car that will take me 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds.
Still, it looks like Japanese consumers are pretty sold on the idea of paying a bit more for a hybrid over the long term savings, something that's been a harder sell for things like solar arrays and they don't seem to care so much if their hybrids scream "boring."
I wonder if there are any countries in the world with more annoying recycling programs. Every day I peel off the plastic labels from plastic PET bottles, wash everything out, toss the cap and label in one garbage, the bottle in another. One of my earliest memories in Japan was learning various Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana symbols just to figure out the recycling labels to know what kind of trash I was holding and where to put it.
It's extremely annoying, something I really wish they'd leave for convicted felons (or retards) to do in some sorting factory somewhere.
But alas, I do it.
It's really efficient and one of the few things I see Japanese doing that saves the environment that presents an endless and absolute hassle to them.
It's mostly because of social pressure, as in many neighborhoods the old ladies are out in force, using their free time to stare at garbage, making note of the people who don't sort things correctly, then attacking them with old lady piss and vinegar.
I've known foreigners were old ladies dropped by with a marker and instructed them to label their foreign garbage so that they could check and make sure they weren't fucking up.
I still see a good many Japanese folk throw caution to the wind and catch many people that live on the rivers just tossing their trash in the water. I grew up on New Jersey beaches in the 80s famous for their hypodermic needles and human body parts, but I can't say I find many beaches on the Seto Nai Kai much cleaner.
There's also a giant problem with disposing of hazardous things. It's extremely hard to get rid of an electronic item that's over 5 years old, despite the condition, and you often have to pay extreme rates to buy stickers and arrange for a pickup.
When I moved out of a place and got rid of appliances my old roommate had left, I paid about 300 dollars to have stuff taken away that wasn't new enough to go second hand with. Don't think I didn't briefly ponder throwing things in the river.
There are a lot of old kitchen appliances in rivers. I can't understand why the gov would charge so much cash for picking up things it can actively breakdown into recycled materials, reuse, and make money off of. I also don't understand why they wouldn't assume that a good % of the population doesn't feel like paying those kind of rates and would illegally dispose of them.
In my town in America, we had two phone calls to the city gov per year where they'd haul away our junk free of charge. If you don't want a river full of TV sets, it might be a good option to consider.
(That's it for part 1. In Part 2 I'll talk about a few more things I can nearly applaud Japan for, along with getting into a few things that they do horribly wrong.
I'd love to see what yall think in regards to where Japan gets some pats on the back and where they deserve some heat)

42 Paul and Barnabas prepared to leave the synagogue, but the people wanted to hear more and urged them to return the following Sabbath. 43 As the people dispersed after the meeting, many Jews and converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas. Privately Paul and Barnabas continued teaching them and urged them to remain steadfast in the grace of God. 44 The next Sabbath, it seemed the whole city had gathered to hear the message of the Lord. 45 But some of the Jewish leaders were jealous when they saw these huge crowds. They began to argue with and contradict Paul's message, as well as slander him. 46 Paul and Barnabas together responded with great confidence.
Paul and Barnabas: OK, then. It was only right that we should bring God's message to you Jewish people first. But now, since you are rejecting our message and identifying yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we are turning to the outsiders. 47 The Lord has commanded us to do this. Remember His words:
I have appointed you a light to the nations beyond Israel,
so you can bring redemption to every corner of the earth.[a]
48 These words created two strong reactions. The outsiders were thrilled and praised God's message, and all those who had been appointed for eternal life became believers. 49 Through them the Lord's message spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders united the aristocratic religious women and the city's leading men in opposition to Paul and Barnabas, and soon they were persecuted and driven out of the region. 51 They simply shook the dust off their feet in protest and moved on to Iconium. 52 The disciples weren't intimidated at all; rather, they were full of joy and the Holy Spirit.

Product DetailsIn this action thriller, a master car thief has his skills pushed to the limit. Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) can steal practically any car that crosses his path. While he has done well in his life of crime, he knows that there's a short future in theft, and he wants to get out of the business. But his retirement plans are interrupted when his younger brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) gets in trouble with a dangerous crime boss. To get his brother out of harm's way, Randall agrees to a profitable but risky scheme to steal 50 luxury cars in one night, with the help of several other car thieves, including Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina Jolie). A rival group of thieves is trying to pull the same stunt at the same time, and detectives Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) and Drycoff (Timothy Olyphant) are trying to shut down both operations. Also starring Robert Duvall as Otto Halliwell, and Scott Caan as Tumbler, Gone in Sixty Seconds is a remake of the 1974 low-budget action hit of the same name, best remembered for a 40-minute chase scene in which 90 cars were destroyed.

As senior VP and CIO of Yale New Haven Health System and Yale School of Medicine, Daniel Barchi had the formidable task of integrating three separate IT teams while lowering healthcare costs and providing tools that facilitate quality services for patients.
The Health System generates $2.2 billion in annual revenue, has more than 5,100 medical staff plus another 13,000 employees, and in one year handles 90,000 patient discharges and 1.2 million outpatient visits. CIO magazine caught up with this accomplished healthcare CIO (he previously served as CIO of Carilion Health System) to learn how he managed the transition.
What do you find to be the biggest challenge with healthcare IT? It's critical to know your customer. When CIOs make a change to the system--implement a new tool, for example--it impacts the end user. In the case of a healthcare system, the end user may be a patient who is logging in to see an important lab test result or it could be a surgeon in the middle of an emergency operation. In all cases, we know our services are being used to care for sick people. It makes the concepts of customer service, response times, and even planned maintenance very challenging.

BANNER ELK, N.C. – Cassie Ringstaff gave the King University softball team a 4-1 win in game one at Lees-McRae College with a grand slam in the top of the seventh inning. The Tornado used that momentum to take the sweep with a 9-1 victory in the night cap.
Lees-McRae looked to take the lead early in the first game as the loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the first inning. However, Tornado pitcher Hannah Light recorded back-to-back strike outs to escape the jam and keep the game scoreless.
From that point on, there weren't many scoring opportunities for either team. King threatened in the third inning, but stranded a pair of runners, and the Bobcats did the same in sixth inning to send the game to seventh tied at 0-0.
Tori McComas led off the seventh with an infield single, and Amber Walker followed with a walk. After a failed bunt attempt, Octavia Lewis-Rand loaded the bases with a single to right field. A fielder's choice kept the game scoreless and brought Ringstaff to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded. The junior crushed her first home run of the season to give King the 4-0 lead going to the bottom of the seventh.
The Bobcats scored a run in the seventh, but Light closed the door for her 13th win of the season. Light only allowed the one run while scattering seven hits in the complete game victory. Ringstaff went 1-for-4 with the grand slam while Christina Melcher and Lewis-Rand led the team with two hits apiece.
Game two started out much like the first, with neither team having many opportunities to score. Lees-McRae (7-30, 2-8 CC) took the lead on a solo home run from Sadie Lagle in the third inning, but that was all the runs they would score as Tornado pitchers Morgan Lowe, Morgan White and Light only allowed five Bobcat hits in the game.
The King offense erupted in the sixth inning with seven runs. Hannah Smith gave the Tornado (19-23, 8-2 CC) the lead with a two-run double down the left field line and Lewis-Rand drove in another run with a double down the left field line. Ringstaff capped the onslaught with a double to right center that scored two runs and gave King a 7-1 lead.
Fallon Thomas tacked on an insurance run with a leadoff home run in the seventh inning, and Mackenzie Draine drove in Lewis-Rand later in the inning to give the Tornado a 9-1 advantage. Light worked a perfect bottom of the seventh to give White her sixth win of the season.
Ringstaff and McComas paced the King offense with three hits apiece while Walker and Draine chipped in with two hits each. Draine, Ringstaff and Smith all registered two runs batted in to lead the team.
After nearly three weeks on the road, the Tornado return home to face Queens University (N.C.) and Coker College this weekend. Saturday's doubleheader with Queens is slated to start at 1:30 p.m., and the first pitch for Sunday's double dip with Coker is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Sunday is also senior day at the King University Softball Field.

Remember the dot com debacle of a decade ago? Well, it's back, this time in the form of Facebook. Since its high-profile public offering last May at over $38/share, FB is now down to about $18/share. Management is finding that running a public company is very different than one privately held, as people variously blame Mark Zuckerberg (or not), CFO David Ebersman, lead IPO underwriter Morgan Stanley, and even the NASDAQ stock exchange. The real problem, of course, is that Facebook went public even as its business model desperately searches for new revenues. Let's just hope they don't pull a Digg and fatally redesign the whole site in response.

Friday, June 01, 2012 - Wank Party 2012 #6, Part 1
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Kaja Kolomaz, Tomek Sirnad, Roman Ditrich, Albert Kroka and Radim Valovy are our featured models in Wank Party 2012 #6. Here we have part one, with the guys walking over the bridge to an island on the Vltava River, for some soccer practice. Having arrived at the pitch they remove their tee-shirts and set about some stretching exercises, led by Albert, before beginning their practice. In reality it is a short practice with a bit of a kick-about and then some practice at taking penalties. The guys then collect their shirts and go off for a refreshing shower. In the shower they wash themselves and each other, paying particular attention to the washing of the cock and balls. We get some great views of overhanging foreskins as the stand there with water running over the bodies. Then the guys collect their towels and move out of the shower area. Dressed in just the towels it seems that the guys have noticed something bulging under Radim's. They remove his towel, exposing a very stiff cock, which Roman wastes no time taking hold of and wanking. Kaja, Albert and Tomek remove their towels as Roman leans forward to kiss Radim as he wanks him. Roman then drops to his knees and begins to suck on Radim's big, hard cock. Meanwhile Kaja is playing with Tomek's dick too and grabbing for Alberts. Soon the three of them are hard and Kaja sits on the bench so that he can suck on Tomek's cock, with Roman continuing to work on Radim's. Then Kaja turns so that he can suck on Albert as well. Radim wants to taste cock too and goes down on Roman. Kaja's cock is standing at full attention as he sucks Tomek and Albert in turn. Kaja and Radim both do a great job of sucking their friends, with Albert and Tomek kissing each other. Then Tomek moves so that Roman can suck his big, hard cock and Radim moves to join Albert and Kaja. Albert lays down on the bench, so that Kaja can suck him and he can take Radim's cock in his mouth at the same time. Very soon Kaja climbs over Albert and they begin to 69. Kaja's ass is nicely presented to Radim, which he eagerly starts to finger. Roman pends over and has his hole teased by Tomek's throbbing oock. But Tomek isn't ready to fuck yet, instead he starts to rim Roman's willing hole. Radim's finger is working well to loosen Kaja's hot hole so, as we leave the guys at the end of part 1, things have progressed very well and they are ready for more, in part 2.
Viktor Manda is 21 years old and live in Malacky. He works as a picker and in his spare time he enjoys sports, particularly football. Viktor is a very handsome guy who, after his interview, begins to feel himself and removes his sweater. He has a nice chest and runs his hand all over it. Dipping into his jeans to feel his cock Viktor opens them and pulls out a nice hard one. He plays with that cock for a while before taking time to remove his shoes and show his feet. Then he stands and, with the jeans pushed down some, wanks his hard cock. He has a nice full, dark bush with nicely frames that cock. Vikto then turns around to show us a very sexy ass. His hands run over that ass, and the cheeks spread enough to see that he has a furry crack. A helping hand arrives and begins to caress that sexy ass. The hands spread Viktors ass and play with his cock. A hand rubs into his ass crack and gropes his hard dick. Viktor then stands and turns around, we see that his cock is rock hard. Laying down and lifting his legs in the air Viktor exposes his hole. The helping hand takes a vibrator and slides it into Viktor's ass, working it in and out. At the same time a hand is wanking on that hard cock, working it nice and fast. It's not long before Viktor is ready for his pop-shot and he gives us a nice, creamy load. He cant stop himself from laughing as he cums and he squirms as the hand works on that sensitive cock. Viktor then goes to the shower to clean himself up. He did a very nice shoot for us and I am hoping that we can get him back for more.
Gregor Pacon is aged 22 and lives in Usti nad Labem. He is employed, but doesn't tell us what his job is. In his spare time Gregor enjoys beer, football and fitness. Gregor is a good looking guy, with a very fit looking body. His chest looks good as he removes his tee-shirt. Then we see his cock and balls as he lowever his pants. Gregor poses, for the camera, very well, including showing us his bicepts. He looks good as he lays down and gets that cock nice and hard for us, and then showing us some ass as well. I think he did very well in this shoot and will look forward to seeing his erotic video.
Dmitry Karnik is from Litomerice and is aged 21. He works as a plumber and enjoys sports, cycling and ice-hockey. Dmitry is reclining on the sofa during his interview, slightly obscured by some candles. When the interview is over he stands and immediately starts squeezing his cock in his shorts. In short order he pulls it out, and it is already rock hard. As he stands there his cock sticks out beautifully as he see Dmitry running his hands over his chest. A helping hand arrives and begins playing with Dmitry's nipples as he wanks on his hard cock. Dmitry's beautiful face is looking into the camera as his nipples are tweaked. Then he lays back on the sofa and his shorts are removed. The helping hand wastes no time oiling the cock and grabbing hold of it. The hand wanks the cock some and then Dmitry lifts his legs in the air, exposing his tight little hole. The helping hand takes a vibrator and teases the hole and then slips it inside. Dmitry takes the vibrator well and he moves onto his knees to get some more of it. The hands pull the hard cock back and wank it as the vibrator is fucked in and out of Dmitry's ass. Dmitry copes well with the vibrator so a dildo is brought into use, it is thicker than the vibrator as stretches his hole as it goes in. But he still takes it all, with his cock staying quite hard. Dmitry is really showing resilience in taking the dildo so a larger one is produced. This too fits into his ass, opening it up very well. Then Dmitry turns over and lifts his legs again. A dildo is slipped back into his ass and stays there as the helping hand wanks him to a very nice climax, with his cum oozing all over his cock. Dmitry then goes off for a very well deserved shower. Dmitry did very well in this video and seems to be a very nice guy. I hope we can do much more with him.

Game one was full of late inning heroics, as Anderson's Jonathan Pitts hit a two out bomb over the field wall in the top of the ninth to tie the game at eight. Luckily for Coker, they had some heroes of their own in the line-up. To lead-off the bottom of the ninth Steven Evans hit a single to the short stop and then advanced on a pass ball, next up was Brooks Urquhart who beat out bunt single and then Willie LoVerde got hit by a pitch to load the bases. That brought Brian Nally to the plate and he laced a 1-2 pitch into left center to score the winning run for the Cobras.
Steven Dill (3-5) earned the win coming on in relief, allowing one run on three hits, in two innings of work.
For Coker at the plate, Ben Davidson was 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a run scored, while Nic Fletcher was 1-for-3 with a triple, two RBIs and two runs scored. Nally finished 1-for-5 with the game winning hit and RBI.
For the Trojans, Jonathan Pitts was 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBIs and two runs scored, while Tony Graham was 2-for-5 with a triple, two RBIs and two runs scored.
In game two,
Coker starter Jesse Hatchell (2-4) took the loss, going three and two-thirds innings, allowing five runs on six hits.
At the plate for Coker, Carlton Deese, Willie LoVerde and Michael Shuford each collected a hit.
The Trojans and Cobras complete their three game series tomorrow with game time at
