CHICAGO (AP) - Carlos Beltran had a forgettable 2,000th game in the majors Thursday. His 2,001st might stay with him for a while.
After going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts one day earlier at Wrigley Field, Beltran bounced back Friday with three hits - falling a home run short of the cycle - and an RBI to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-2 win against the Chicago Cubs.
"Yesterday wasn't a good one and today was better, for sure," said Beltran, who had a run-scoring triple, double and single. "That's baseball. Some days you feel like you come to the ballpark and you try and nothing works out your way, and today it seems like everything worked out my way."
Beltran's offense bolstered a second straight spot start for reliever-turned-starter Joe Kelly (1-3), who won his first game of the season.
"I just attacked with everything - slider, curve ball, change-up, four-seam, two-seam (fastball)," Kelly said. "When you throw a couple of those for strikes, you make it easier on yourself. If you're throwing some off-speed and command both sides of the plate with the heater, it makes for a little better time out there."
It was the second straight start for Kelly, who had a no-decision against Miami last Saturday. He's unsure if he'll get another start soon or will head back to the bullpen.
"I don't look too far ahead about anything," said Kelly, who allowed three hits and a run in 5 1/3 innings, struck out four and walked two. "I go out there and when they tell me to pitch, I pitch. That's what's good about being versatile, and I'm just still happy to be here."
Edward Mujica pitched the ninth for his 26th save in 27 opportunities.
Thursday's 3-0 loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Cardinals.
An added bonus was a seventh inning pinch-hit triple by Rob Johnson, whose contract was purchased Tuesday from Triple-A Memphis. Johnson then scored on Matt Carpenter's double.
"We needed it," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Johnson's clutch hit. "It's a feel-good for a guy who's been doing a lot of things right for us in our system. In a situation, he helped us produce and we wound up getting a run out of it."
St. Louis jumped on Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva (2-5) for two runs in the top of the first inning. Carpenter singled and scored on Beltran's triple, followed by Allen Craig's RBI single.
The Cubs cut St. Louis' lead to 2-1 in the third. Luis Valbuena walked, went to second when Starlin Castro was hit by a pitch, Anthony Rizzo hit into a fielder's choice that pushed Valbuena to third and then Alfonso Soriano's single scored Valbuena.
After Carpenter's double scored Johnson in the seventh to make it 3-1, Castro closed the score to 3-2 with a leadoff homer in the eighth - but the Cubs would get no closer, stranding seven runners in the game.
Even with Villanueva's shaky first inning, Cubs manager Dale Sveum still liked what he saw from his starter.
"Six innings, 90 pitches, obviously settled down after the first inning," Sveum said. "Everything got much sharper and he did a great job."
The Cubs are 12-8 in their last 20 games, and are 3-5 against St. Louis this season. They faced the best team in baseball for the second straight week. Last weekend, they took two of three from Pittsburgh, which had the best record in the majors at the time.
Notes: Cardinals LF Matt Holliday was held out Friday with right hamstring tightness and is day-to-day. ... In addition to signing first round draft pick Kris Bryant, the Cubs also inked 12th round RHP Trevor Clifton and 19th round C Will Remillard. ... Today's pitchers will be the Cardinals' Lance Lynn (11-3, 3.67 ERA) and the Cubs' Matt Garza (5-1, 3.22). Garza has been the subject of trade rumors in recent days. "He's obviously throwing extremely well and he's very healthy and there are teams out there looking for pitching who are going to call and try to acquire him," Cubs president Theo Epstein said before Friday's game. "He's helping us win games right now, there's a chance to possibly retain him beyond this year, so we'll just balance all that out and do what's best for the organization." ... The Cubs have used 42 players this season, a pre-All-Star break team record. ... The Cubs came into Friday's game leading the National League with 293 extra-base hits.

PromoGolfBall provides a great service that allowed us to provide a gift for our guests that was very unique. Great selection of designs for the golf balls. We received our golf balls within 1 week of order which was very helpful! - Chad AB
(PRWEB) December 11, 2012
Each year, thousands of brides-to-be embark on the daunting task of planning their wedding. One such decision during this process is the selection of unique wedding favors for their guests. PromoGolfBall offers a product that provides just that without breaking the bank in the form of personalized wedding golf balls.
A variety of predesigned wedding images have been printed on one side of blank golf balls. These images have been designed to cater to various types of weddings such as destination weddings or themed weddings. Couples can therefore choose the design that represents them and their wedding the most. The second side of the golf ball is left blank in order for the couple to truly personalize the product with items such as their names, the wedding date, as well as the wedding location. In addition, optional clear plastic boxes are available to package each individual golf ball.
In 2010, PromoGolfBall purchased a new printer which enables the printing of pictures on the golf balls. This has increased the variety of choices of images to choose from. Couples can now print a picture of themselves on the golf balls instead of choosing a predesigned image, which personalizes the product even more. Over the past 2 years, these personalized photo golf balls have become more and more popular amongst couples.
The wedding golf balls offered by PromoGolfBall have become increasingly popular for wedding favors and represent a large number of the company's annual sales. They are also quickly becoming a popular gift idea for groomsmen and the father of the bride.
With thousands of golf balls in stock and ready to be personalized, fast turnaround is also available for last-minute party planners or couples. Another aspect that contributes to this quick turnaround time is the fact that all the printing is done within PromoGolfBall's own factory. It is not contracted to a third party nor is it done by golf ball manufacturers. This enables PromoGolfBall the ability to have total control on the entire production process.
PromoGolfBall prides itself in providing quality products paired with outstanding customer service to each and every client. The large amount of positive reviews posted by satisfied customers on PromoGolfBall's website proves that the company is not only meeting customers' expectations, but also surpassing them.

It looks like viewers will be treated to another season of fist pumping, gym, tan and laundry from the cast of "Jersey Shore," including soon-to-be mom Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
MTV, the network that runs the popular reality program, announced on March 19 that it has picked up the series for a sixth season and that all the cast members will return. The new season will film in the show's original location of Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
"While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same," MTV's statement said.
It is unclear if Polizzi will be living in the house with her fellow cast members. When asked by Us Weekly after she first announced her pregnancy what would happen if "Jersey Shore" was renewed, Polizzi said, "If anything, I'll visit the shore."
"I'm not living in that house pregnant. I don't want to be one of those moms who's pregnant in a club," she added. "It's disgusting."
Polizzi announced her pregnancy on March 7. She is also engaged to the baby's father, boyfriend Jionni LaValle
"Jersey Shore," which depicts the lives of party-loving, self-proclaimed "Guidos and Guidettes" and is one of the top-rated cable programs, just ended its fifth season. Polizzi is filming a spin-off show with cast member Jenni "JWoww" Farley.
The premiere dates for the sixth season of "Jersey Shore" and Polizzi and Farley's spin-off have not been announced. "Jersey Shore" star Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio also headlines a new show called "The Pauly D Project." It debuts on MTV on March 29.

I went back to graduate school (a million years after completing undergrad) and tuition has skyrocketed since the Good 'Ol days when my parents were paying.
Anyway I went to work at a university to help pay some of my graduate tuition. I got reassigned to the Financial Aid department part time and have learned A LOT.
Although I was desperately trying to pay for my grad education without more loans, I couldn't do it. I even took out the dreaded Grad Plus loan in Fall 2011/Spring 2012. Last Fall, I was approved immediately (previously did a student loan consolidation with an in-school deferment - and improved my credit profile a lot).
But I had heard through my Financial Aid department work, that the Grad Plus loan approval qualifications changed effective Nov 1st. It didn't affect me because my current laon was approved to disperse through Spring 2012.
Early this April, when I applied for a subsequent loan for this upcoming summer school semester, I was SHOCKED to be given a no-decision, followed immediately by a denial "due to adverse credit." So knowing that the Dept of Education (or their related agency, the COD) uses Equifax/CSC, I got copies of both reports.
Good News: NO lates, No slow pays, No 30 day/60 day/120 day account issues. No current negatives. Of course NO bankruptcies.
I couldn't figure it out - I checked all the areas that the Dept of Ed used to check before approval.
But there it was: one serious baddie - a 2007 pre-collection (???) on an unpaid $898 utility account with a provider that wasn't even mine - I think it was the knucklehead who moved into my former apartment after me and did a lot of suspect business.
Anyway, I successfully disputed (using the CreditBoard suggestions that rarely fail me), got it removed, did an Appeal of my Grad Plus Loan decision and won!
I am wondering if I will have to dispute this with the 2 other bureaus so I'm combing those reports this weekend.
SIDELINE QUESTION- does the fact that one bureau (Equifax) deleted it - give me better leverage with EX and TU?)
Anyway, just to let everyone know - the newer Grad Plus Loan requirements are stricter, tougher, and much more no-nonsense.
And remember that effective July 1, 2012: there are NO more unsubsidized graduate/professional loans for ANY students. Although they might raise the UNSUB limits, Grad Plus loans are going to be even more necessary for many students, and now - a lot harder to get.
Just a FYI.

2010-11 Men's Basketball
Bluffton 100, Wright St.-Lake 64
Beavers move into McDonald's title game with 100-64 win
December 29, 2010
By: Josh Bruner, sports information assistant
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's basketball team dominated Wright St.-Lake during a 100-64 victory in the McDonald's of Bluffton Holiday tournament semi-finals on Wednesday, December 29, 2010. The Beavers hit the century mark for the second consecutive game while improving to 7-3 on the season. The consecutive 100-point outbursts marks only the second time in school history that Bluffton has accomplished the feat with the other a three-game spurt in 1971-72.
The Beavers started out strong, taking a quick 6-0 lead with four of the points coming from junior ball handler Mychal Hill (London/Jonathan Alder). The Lakers responded with a three from Justin Feltz at the 18:20 mark. The Beavers opened the margin with back-to-back threes from Hill and Nick Lee (Vanlue), cruising to a nine-point lead after two and a half minutes of play.
The Beavers will be back in action against Westminster on December 30 for the championship game of the McDonald's Holiday Tournament. Bluffton is scheduled to tip at 3 p.m. following the 1 p.m. consolation game between the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg and Wright State-Lake.

More Frankenheimer thick-ear for your questionable delectation. BLACK SUNDAY is a latter-day Robert Evans production, and it's shocking to see how pointless Evans' cinema got, how fast, after he stopped being the big man at Paramount. The movie, based on a pre-Hannibal Lector Thomas Harris thriller, deals with a plot by Palestinian terrorist Marthe Keller, in cahoots with deranged Vietnam vet Bruce Dern (typecasting is a wonderful thing, sometimes) to blow up the superbowl using the Goodyear blimp, some plastic explosives smuggled Stateside as plaster madonnas, and a lot of rifle darts, making the world's biggest nail bomb.
It's slick, kind of meaningless, very violent (the Japanese sea captain getting his head blown off by a telephone is an early highlight) and made with Frankenheimer's trademark professionalism and dynamism, but all that rather counts for nothing. John Alonso's photography is very fine but this isn't CHINATOWN.
dead bang
Leading man/growling muscle Robert Shaw plays a Mossad agent nicknamed "the Final Solution," which gives you some idea of the taste level. Much of the story is a paean to the efficacy of torture and intimidation in getting people to do what you want, and it isn't very convincing. But Shaw does get the film's only laugh when he sticks a gun in a man's mouth and demands his assistance: "Nod for 'yes', die for 'no'."
Pretty corrupt stuff, even by the standards of modern action movies and things like the unlamented 24. Frankenheimer was often characterised as a liberal, but that gives you plenty of rope in America. I do remember one interview in a short study of his career where he kept referring to "the negro problem." What he said about this issue wasn't overtly offensive, or even very meaningful, but the phrase struck me as deeply problematic, not because of the lesser N word (it was the sixties, that was the preferred term) but because the construction implies "there's a problem because there are these people called negroes"… it's a bit like saying "the Jewish question", isn't it?
Aside from Shaw's scowling menace, Bruce Dern is fun (when is he ever not?) and Marthe Keller confirms the impression I received from CARLOS — forget Hollywood, all the really hot chicks are in international terrorism. She also plays it like she's the heroine rather than the villain, which is a shrewd choice.
Suddenly remembered that in his self-serving autobiography The Kid Stays in the Picture, Evans puts the blame for all the less inspired decisions made at Paramount on Charlie Bluhdorn, head of
Engulf & Devour Gulf & Western, Paramount's parent company. In particular, the studio's failed attempts to make a star out of Serbo-Croatian hunk Bekim Fehmiu are attributed to Bluhdorn alone. And yet here's Fehmiu, quite effective as a Palestinian bad guy.
Frankenheimer, who cameos as a sweary TV director, (almost as bad type-casting as Dern's deranged Nam vet) brings to the pointless carnage his usual dogged professionalism, dynamism, and eye for nasty detail. Unfortuntely the special effects team aren't quite up to rendering the blimp climax in a photorealistic manner — some striking shots are let down by lame process work elsewhere, and the frenzied montage is a dead giveaway that cinematic jiggery-pokery is being deployed. Poor Frankenheimer would once again have to base a film around an impossibility when he made mutant bear movie PROPHECY. How much drink did he have to put away to survive that one?

The Bruins' recent run of lackluster play caught up to them in Raleigh Saturday night, as they squandered a 2-1 lead and fell 4-2.
Really, they had no business being in the lead in the first place, as they were sloppy throughout the game. But they were still 2-1-0 last week and are within striking distance of the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference for first place, even if Ottawa is nipping at their heels (with the Bruins holding plenty of games in hand on the Senators).
There were a few standout individual performances throughout the week, starting with Milan Lucic. The left winger's goal against Montreal was the game-winner and his goal against Carolina put the Bruins ahead in the third period. He tallied two assists and was minus-1 on the week with seven shots on net and 10 hits.
Lucic's center David Krejci extended his points streak to 11 games with four assists in the three games last week. He was minus-1 with seven shots on net. Krejci registered the primary assist on Nathan Horton's game-tying goal against Winnipeg.
Defenseman Johnny Boychuk was active in the Bruins' final two games of the week, with an assist in each. He was plus-1 for the week with six shots on net, including the one that led to an assist on Patrice Bergeron's goal in Carolina. Boychuk was also credited with seven blocked shots.
So I ask you, readers of TheBruinsBlog.net:

The title might be misleading, because I am not talking about anxiety on a 'hardcore' level. That would become apparent without explanation, but I was compelled to use that title before thinking of how it would appear to have a different meaning than what I wanted to infer, simply because the story of why it exists would clear it up without this 'disclaimer' being used to clarify.
I found this unusual feeling of anxiety come over me just before posting the last clip on the store. It is a hardcore clip, and I really like this one because I had been practicing some mental exercises to regain a much higher level of climax control.
It had been a long time since getting back in front of the camera myself, and the previous time, there was more time spent waiting for climax to chill the fuck out instead of doing some serious continuous porno style pounding.
I don't have anxiety about getting in front of the camera, because in the end, I choose what to release and what not to release. At the same time, I still ponder releasing content that shows me passing out drunk while trying to have sex with a ssbbw and she's texting people on her phone.
I think that shit is awesome. I find the reality sense of flawed work more interesting than something that looks plastic, fake, and magazine cut out. I find it funny when I am failing in front of the camera as I look at it afterwards. While in front of the camera, because I have been doing this for over a decade, I don't feel anxiety at all about it. I can't, because if I were to let that creep in, I would have difficulty in maintaining erection AND controlling climax at the same time.
That is the worst too, because if there is ANY effort being put forth in order to maintain an erection, one has to continually skate the edge of climax. If there is ANY issues going on with maintaining control of climax, you are just fucked, and not in a good way.
Just wanted to add some music, if it stays there, but this is a stable channel. I almost laughed as I typed that. I have had 8 youtube channels deleted because even though Candy was not nude in any of the clips, they were considered "obscene", according to the standard terms of service note that let me know they were digitally murdering 8 of my fucking channels.
There is probably more anxiety about doing hardcore video on Candy's side than mine. I don't have anxiety because again, I can just delete the clip, or distribute it for free somewhere as if it got "leaked". I use EVERYTHING though. My first porno was on VHS tape, and I got it mail order by lying about my age by signing some bogus form, after saving up from mowing lawns to buy my first VCR just for this purpose.
The first porno was not edited at all. There was a disembodied voice of a producer in the background telling them what to do. There was also a lot of laughing and messing around that was probably supposed to be cut out. Some guy literally paid a couple of people to fuck in front of a camera, then placed a tiny ad in the back of a porno, and sold this shit probably out of his house.
The actors in that first porno were not fat. I wanted to see "porno" because I had been exposed to it "at a friend's house" at probably the age of 14 or 15. Once I got a taste, I had to keep watching it sooner or later. I believe one of the first films I ever saw was "taboo", but I can't be sure if it was that movie, or if that was a preview that was shown before the cheesy crap that was being put out at that time.
I eventually tripped across fat porn by literally calling every 1 800 number associated with every porno ad in the back of every porno mag I could get my hands on. Long before the internet, I was doing research by literally cold calling porn distributors asking them for fat porn.
Using that technique, I eventually came across a few fat porno tapes, but a lot of them were from Europe, because back in the 80's, nobody thought of using fat models for porno until some creepy guy started calling all of them asking for fat porn.
I remember "wrinkles and ripples", which was probably made in the UK, because there was no dialogue, only shitty music, but there was a scene where two guys walk into a building, and the architecture is unmistakably European, and early 80's. One or both of these 2 guys walking into a fat prostitute's apartment were not circumcised either, which is a sure sign that they were not in America.
I am circumcised because it was forced on me, but I'll take it, because a lot of women seem to prefer it. I still don't think it's cool to just do it without permission from the male though. People bitch about genital mutilation in Africa while they do this shit to every male born as a standard in the USA. Anyway…
That first porn with fat women actually had old people too, hence, the "wrinkles" part of the title. Back in the 80's, they were combining fetishes in these combo tapes because nobody assumed that fat could stand on it's own. As the years passed, and we get into the 90's, I remember going to a few adult book stores that were destined to be closed down by shitting fake religious Louisiana politics. Those book stores actually took the leap and had a "fat section" that was separate from "weird and freak" type stuff.
I could almost feel relief that for once, the BDSM and D/S stuff was considered "freakier" than fat porn. Maybe I wasn't a total freak for being attracted to super sized women after all. No, I am a fucking freak and a half.
So, there is zero anxiety about performing in the porn coming from me, but Candy might be concerned about having a complexion that exists in reality rather than having a magic wand that could photoshop her ass in real life. I know that some of my work could be criticized because I don't touch up complexion or use filters to hide shit. I have always considered my work to be "real", and then this shitty "reality television" crap came along.
It's ironic that people don't see the connection between the content I create and "reality tv". Maybe because my shit is "porn" so it can't count as "reality". It's really ironic because porn is about as real as people can get, when they know each other and have been doing this shit for over a decade. When you toss 2 people in a room with a full crew and a producer yelling out instructions in between takes, I'm sure it's not as real as my shit is. The corporate stuff is so fucking *pretty* though, so it has it's own following. My shit is gritty, and sometimes literally ugly, and that's what I like about it.
When I look around at fat porn, I am most drawn to the content that features more realistic models, with actual real life flaws, who act like real people. Heavy duty faking is annoying, begging for cum and then reacting to it like it's nuclear waste is annoying. Two people acting really attracted to each other while they actually can't stand each other is not going to translate very well with people who are "porn stars" and not "actors".
My shit is real, flaws and all. I almost think about it like some kind of perfectly balanced equation. Nothing can be perfect. If perfection was a requirement for existence we would not fucking be here. It's wild that as I get older, I start to see porn like MATH. In fact, I am starting to see this entire reality being broken down into common denominators and simplified fractions. It's almost like how the characters in The Matrix were able to see what was going on from streams of numbers and characters across a screen.
When Candy is worried about a flaw or imperfection, I try to remind her, that she is thinking with her brain, and not my customer base's collective brain. When I saw imperfection, I feel some kind of common ground with people who are literally "out of my league". If a woman doesn't have a perfect complexion, or she has some obvious flaw, it makes her more "real" in my eyes.
Imperfection doesn't seem like a very real qualifying factor in making someone more attractive. We generally see imperfection as something that takes away from perfection. The real truth is, all "fat people" are already considered "flawed" based on their fat appearance. Trying to make flawed fat perfect is something I wish I had a clever analogy for off the top of my head. Maybe "lipstick on a pig", but that might sound insulting and harsh. Cliche is rarely friendly or politically correct while trying to convey a message of truth that few really want to hear or believe.
I can talk to her all I want about how she is just the perfect fulfillment of an equation that makes her known at all in a world of plastic people, but it won't help. She is working with her brain, her bias, her experience, her wisdom, her perception, and her reality. As I get older we get along better because instead of being personally offended by some of her observations, I can appreciate just how different her perception can be from mine, as we both simultaneously experience the exact same reality, as 2 unique observers.
Every once in a while Candy will say "fuck it, let's fuck in front of the cam", and I am down, like setting lights up before she finishes the sentence. I jump in there full throttle, so much so I might forget to take my socks off and look ridiculous. It doesn't matter, I leave it in there. 🙂
I love doing it. I get a rush from fucking in front of the camera that brings me back to my "first time" long before Florida and Lexi from fatfantasy.net. I remember spending long days in a back room repairing computers fantasizing about using one to make money instead of having to figure out complex computer issues all day every fucking day.
The first chance I get to express this desire to create fat content, it starts to take off, and then I figure out that I can't co-exist with Lexi at that age, and that level of impulsive behavior not checked by a clear sense of consequence or long term planning. I was "young, dumb, and full of cum" and I could not resist fucking exactly the woman I wasn't supposed to exactly when I wasn't supposed to exactly where I wasn't supposed to.
I rebelled against Lexi's control, because I was really in control of all that shit, and she was confined to a bed barking out orders and making unreasonable demands, and conning the fuck out of me the whole time. I deserved it, I was young and stupid, I made promises I could not keep, and I could not resist opportunity when I had multiple bbws and ssbbws flirting with me and tempting me to step out now and then.
i walked away from Lexi and started all the way over from step one. I worked for 3 years for someone else while I slowly accumulated new content and started from scratch. I managed to pull it off though, and by 2002 I was working on version 2 of hotbbws.com because Lexi shut me down for using the Florida shit the first time.
Getting in front of the camera again was getting revenge on Lexi for taking all that content away from me. I have seen content with me in it now and then, and it always reminds me of how I don't have copies of that shit myself, because I was a fucking "nice guy" and didn't just take all that fucking shit with me when I left.
I didn't even take a camera. I had to work for months to save up to buy my first fucking digital camera after leaving Florida because I was too fucking stupid to just take the shit that my credit paid for.
Ok, enough of that. Maybe that conveys the passion and drive behind everything I did after I left Florida. There can't be anxiety about creating hardcore content within me because I literally get off creating it.
The reason for using the title hardcore anxiety is because of a feeling that sometimes comes over me at that last moment before I am about to post the content I have already created, edited, and uploaded.
I should be so anxious to get it out there I can't stand it, but sometimes I actually procrastinate before taking the final steps of writing the description and hitting "add to store". Once I start writing the description, I am into it big time. The last description I wrote was probably so weird that people might want to buy the clip just to see what the fuck I am talking about.
Once I start writing, something seems to just take over, like right now, as I check and see that I am rapidly approaching 2000 words and instead of wanting to stop, my fingers are moving faster and faster. I can type up to 80 words per minute if I am in a good mood and not drunk, and when I start writing here, I may actually go higher than that. I get the figure 80 from the last pre-employment typing test that I took, so that was an unbiased computer generated test with a result that I could only influence by actually typing really fucking fast on demand.
Writing the description soothes the mysterious anxiety that comes about just before adding the clip. I love creating the content, I am excited while editing it, and I can't wait to promote it. At the same time, i started this follow back shit on twitter, so now I am about to post really inappropriate content still images to a bunch of people following me just to get a follow back.
I don't have anxiety about losing followers on twitter, because every time I lose 10, I get 40 more at the same time. I don't even care about twitter itself so much, because it started out as an experiment to figure out how it works, and why people are so bat shit crazy about it.
I still don't even use a smartphone, so I'm not seeing that shit constantly all day. I didn't log in at all yesterday, but I did take a moment to log into "tweepi" just to "flush" unfollowers and reciprocate new followers by following them back.
I have managed to make twitter so mathematical and impersonal, I may have actually defeated the entire purpose for it's existence, except as a source of amusement now and then when I am already procrastinating.
So, I experimented myself right the fuck out of feeling good about promoting my shit. At the same time, I have picked up so many fat, bbw, and ssbbw porn reposters that I could lose %90 of my followers and the remaining %10 were actually MORE IMPORTANT than all the rest. Twitter is mathematically fascinating to me.
Yeah, it's very impersonal when I can log into an app outside of twitter itself and do 69 clicks to resolve the imbalance between people I follow, and assholes who add me to get a follow back and then unfollow me like I don't fucking know they did that. I'm ready to start seeing repeated attempts to do this shit by familiar avatars.
I don't even fucking care about twitter, but now it has turned into some kind of game for me, which is actually more exciting than World of Warcraft ever was. It involves real people with fake avatars just like a MMORPG, but this is a different type of game, because it also involves gaining followers in a specific niche and working the fuck out of it.
So, it's like the first "video game" I have come across that amuses me to the point of wanting to do it every few days, but at the same time, instead of collecting fictional "gold", I am acquiring followers who will tend to repost my shit when I am putting out some awesome new SSBBW hardcore and I actually stopped procrastinating long enough to list it.
Hardcore anxiety in my situation is really minor, and it only takes place at the most perfect time, when all the hard work is done already. This minor anxiety is something that I want to dig deeper into my own brain to figure out. I have tried to attribute it to the PTSD left over from Candy's previous departures. I have wondered if I occasionally suffer from premature ejaculation for the same reason. It's like i want to shoot my load in her before she can take off again or something! 🙂
I still have climax control, but every once in a while, that shit sneaks up on me. The time when I created the horse head mask hardcore video, the scenario of wearing a mask excited me unexpectedly to the point where I was struggling big time with climax control. I still managed to pull it off, in a few different positions no less, but it was a constant struggle, believe me.
The next hardcore clip had more preparation and getting into position than it had hard sustained pounding. Again, the fact that it had been so rare to create hardcore after all those feedee clips, contributed to difficulty in containing my excitement and my cum too.
I have found that having just a few beers, not getting loaded, but just barely buzzed, can help a great deal. Of course, if you cross a line and go too far with alcohol, there is a potential for difficulty in maintaining erection too. I can't help but remember the song "Too Drunk To Fuck" by the Dead Kennedys.
I don't resort to that though, because Candy doesn't like to have sex with drunk people, and even if we have been together since Feb of 2002, if I am buzzed, I'm still "drunk people" in her perception, and I understand that. I also don't like to resort to the use of drugs in order to control aspects of my self, or my being. When I use drugs for intoxication, I am exploring a part of myself that I can't access while sober. That is different.
So, without any enhancement from alcohol, or even Viagra, I have a damn good time in front of the camera. The last video clip that featured hardcore was excellent. I had Candy nearly trying to fake orgasm to get me to climax, because I was getting kind of rough on her, and going on a little longer than necessary for her sexual preference. At the same time, I had finally done just enough hardcore video in just short enough increments that it just started to "come back to me" like "riding a bicycle".
Even then, the evening that I could have posted the new clip I ended up getting drunk, and when I get intoxicated to a certain degree, I really don't want to write because it is going to be so fucked up and make even less sense than I manage to make when I am fucking sober, like now.
So, hardcore anxiety is something I still deal with in that strange procrastination technique. Even with that one evening delay, the next day, I was so eager to list that clip that I literally could not do anything else until it was complete. Sometimes, the anxiety may just be a simple sense of timing. Maybe posting it the night before was just a little too soon, because it had not even been a week since posting the last clip.
Maybe the hardcore anxiety is less related to the type of clip, but the fact that I literally can't wait to list it, so I have to stop myself and hold out as long as possible before slamming that shit up!
Either way, that clip is up, and I am tempted to post another clip on the day that the hardcore clip would have been normally added on a once a week schedule. I don't want to exceed the once in a week schedule because I am literally concerned about making too much money to be eligible for medicaid, while I am carrying out that whole separate experiment.
Maybe the reason i was compelled to write and get to the bottom of this one thing was just to help me come to the conclusion that I just wrote. One experiment is actually getting in the way of another. Because I have lived with this cursed sense of irony, a part of me may actually be creating a concern about making "too much money" because that's exactly what a part of me really wants.
What a first world problem to have though huh? Maybe it's because I need a hip replacement and I am very concerned about being made even more disabled than I am with a bad hip, so I have to maintain the low income to make a transition into disability much more convenient.
Maybe I am concerning myself with the possibility of being physically more fucked up and making too much money because a part of me has experienced something all through life where my low expectations generate a much more emphatic positive reaction when I was wrong about what "could happen".
I worry about making too much money, and a part of myself realizes just how easy it is for me to make money, and I am left with a variable in an equation that involves future probability entangled with low expectations versus the motivation and drive to do "better than expected".
More simplified, by worrying about making too much money, I am kind of guaranteeing myself that I will, just to fulfill some kind of passive aggressive inner conflict.
By worrying that some surgeon is going to fuck my hip up, I would be highly pleased at an outcome where I can still walk, and actually have less pain that I do now.
I know, that is a totally fucked up way to live, but then again, it's the way that I have continually gotten everything I wanted, so much so, that I am left to worry about things that I can't control, which I have to stop myself from dwelling on, so I can continue to control reality enough to get what I want out of it.
I have to actually concentrate to think of the next thing I "really want". Odds are, I am going to get it, but I hesitate in even granting focus to something I think I want, because of the possible unintended consequences that may go along with it.
At this age, at this point in my life, knowing what I know, I would never have fallen for the tricks that Lexi played to get everything. At the same time, I don't have the need to search for and find another Lexi, because as many times as I have lost her, I am still with Candy.
Maybe all of this helps me to work out the lingering PTSD involved with almost losing Candy repeatedly. I know that I still have abandonment issues because of that, there is still some degree of insecurity because of it, and I never would have even attempted to carry out the kind of affair that I did last year if I wasn't still suffering from some kind of residual emotional effect of her leaving both times.
Now I have caused a negative emotional impact on yet another innocent bystander because of the fickle nature of Candy's whims. I am not openly resentful about that, but a part of me has not let go of it fully. I'm still bitching about Lexi and fatfantasy. net and that shit started in 1998 and ended in 2000. That little 2 years of my life is still fucking with me. It may be one of the main reasons that I am still creating hardcore content at all.
Another interesting thought comes from this stream of consciousness writing now. As I begin to finally resolve feelings of resentment for Lexi, I start to lose focus of my motivation and drive to create hardcore content in the first place.
Now a part of me can perceive what I am doing externally, because of all the experimentation with alcohol and weed. I can see this old guy who is desperately trying to hold on to some former position of glory, that can and will never be realized again. Maybe that's part of what would be an otherwise normal "mid life crisis", except that the biggest thing I accomplished in my life besides what I do now is that fucked up, highly traumatic 2 years with Lexi.
I am letting go of all that, or I started to really let go of it when I heard of her passing just weeks after I destroyed all my physical copies of that work. Irony strikes again. The only person obsessed with keeping me from using that work dies just weeks after I destroy it so I don't have to look at it myself. Luckily I did save one cd full of photos out of 21 cds, and they were the ones that meant the most to me.
i can let go of the resentment for Lexi and still remained focus on creating what I truly love to create. After all, how many women closing in on 500lbs do you see getting fucked and swallowing right now??? 🙂
Yeah, I am really lucky to have the drive and desire to create this content and have such a willing participant. I don't feel the loss of Lexi or that entire group anymore, because I have been guided by fate and destiny to be lucky enough to work with this super sized angel.
I managed to comb time and space in order to find one SSBBW that is not scared of cock or cum, and who loves doing this shit so much that if she is faking it is humorous instead of erotic. The truth is, once cock gets involved, she is not faking one bit.
That's what makes her shit so great. I can see it when a woman is struggling to tolerate a situation, or has some kind of allergic reaction to cum after begging for it for 15 minutes.
I know that is harsh, and I realize that I could not possibly imagine what drives a woman who has such an adverse reaction to being cum on to do porn in the first place. At the same time, the phrase "you had one job" comes to mind too. I have had talks with Candy about this, and she points out that if it gets in your eye it burns, and I can accept that, but it doesn't explain why some women will allow an actor to cum in her mouth and then literally gag even if she is going to spit it all out.
I never worked with a "real porn chick" before, because I am under the impression that I could not afford to hire them, and Candy would be somewhat intimidated to work with them, even in softcore "side by side" type modeling. There is one model that lives right here in Vegas that Candy and I have talked about, and we would be more than willing to come up with a few hundred to hire her, just because of who she is, but Candy is still intimidated by her.
There have been a few other women who have offered to model for the same amount, but they are escorts and not really professional models, so I am hesitant to invest a nickel in them because of the nature of being an escort in and of itself. From what I have heard, some of them are really good at word play to the point where a guy is paying them to feed them and just hang out without even going all the way. If an escort works to create that kind of scenario in a non modeling situation, I imagine that they would be hard to work with as they try to "let the clock run out" while doing the bare minimum and not really putting their heart into the modeling itself.
I could be wrong, an escort could be an excellent model, I just wouldn't know, because I'm not spending $300 to find out! It's hard for me to justify spending that kind of money to hire a model, when Candy appearing by herself is guaranteed to bring in something. I get the feeling that paying someone $300 to model next to her would never bring in that much more than a video clip of her by herself.
I've stopped asking around about modeling now, because it's not really my place to do that. It's up to Candy, because she is the one who has to stand, sit, or lay next to this person. Candy may not even be prepared to do that with another model at this point, so I am leaving it up to her if another model ever appears with her again. The last time one did, it was 2009, we were in Baton Rouge, and the woman didn't want to get paid because she wanted "shared content".
Here in Vegas, finding an established model that wants to do shared content with Candy is not as easy as you might think. I think everybody here wants to get paid, for anything, and I can't blame them. At the same time, I see these group photo shoots and I know that each woman probably wasn't paid individually, because they all have websites, and they could all use that as shared content. In a big group there isn't usually anything sexual going on, just 3 to 5 big women hanging out while posing next to each other.
Candy hasn't ended up in that situation, because she has not worked to create that situation. If she had any interest in going out to "bbw parties" and stuff like that, she would meet women there that do this kind of thing all the time. Candy has had a bit of social anxiety though, so without making a grand appearance at a bar somewhere, these other women will never meet her in public, and in the past 3 years, they have not made any effort to come to her.
I don't really care anymore if I get to work with anyone else now, ever. I had a mild curiosity when I saw a few Vegas bbw models posing together, but then I realized, being a full time model is not even Candy's "job". She volunteers to do this for me. I am just lucky enough to be around when she is going on a food splurge, and she doesn't mind me pointing a camera at her while she is binge eating.
I am also very lucky that Candy is ok with me bringing a camera into our sex life, because I don't think there are very many SSBBWs at her size doing the sexually explicit type of content that I am creating. If there are, I just haven't found them because I'm so busy making my own porn that I have lost interest in looking around at everyone else's.
I can't believe that as long as this post was already, I came back and added more to it. I guess I was thinking that I was too harsh to end this post with that statement about how unusual it is for a woman to take a job where she is begging to be cum on for 15 minutes and then suddenly has an involuntary spasm of disgust once she finally gets what she asks for. Why work in porn if you hate cum? 🙂

2009 Baseball
Bluffton 7, Franklin 6
Bluffton stuns HCAC champion Franklin, 7-6
May 3, 2009
FRANKLIN, Ind. - The Bluffton University baseball team stunned HCAC regular season champion Franklin College 7-6 on Sunday, May 3, after sending the 2009 seniors home Saturday night so that they could participate in commencement exercises today. The Beavers wrapped up their season with a record of 13-24, including a mark of 7-15 in the Heartland Conference. Franklin fell to 28-9 (17-4 HCAC), but the Grizzlies return to action next Thursday when they host the conference tournament.
After a scoreless first for the new-look Beavers, Franklin capitalized on consecutive no-out walks to take a 3-0 lead after one inning. Swienconek made it 1-0 with his RBI groundout and Boone followed with a single through the left side that plated Sanders. Boone stole second and then third before an errant throw allowed him to cross the plate.
The Beavers quickly answered the call with three runs of their own in the top of the second. Brennan Bauman (Milford) singled with one out and consecutive hit batters loaded the sacks for Greg Bergstedt (Napoleon/Patrick Henry) who picked up the RBI and reached safely on a Franklin error, one of six the home team made on the day. A walk to Kyle Trainer (Mechanicsburg) pushed Brett Howard (Toledo/St. Francis) home before another Grizzly miscue allowed Torres to knot the game at three.
Howard picked up Cody McPherson (Northwood/Millbury Lake) with a sacrifice fly to center in the third, but Franklin used a Bluffton error to keep the game tied at four after three innings of play.
Bluffton scored single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to open up a 7-4 lead over the home team. Stephen Torres (Lima/Juan Diego) singled home Bauman in the fifth. Cory Stephens (Lima/Bath) singled and came around to score following two Franklin errors in the sixth and Kyle Trainer made it 7-4 with his squeeze bunt in the seventh frame
A two-run double by Swienconek in the home half of the inning cut the Bluffton lead to a run, but the Beavers' pitching did the job in the last two frames to secure a 7-6 win over the Grizzlies.
Kelly Barnes (Toledo/Christian) turned in a solid six innings on the hill, limiting the Franklin offense, which entered the weekend hitting over .350 as a team, to four runs on three hits with three strikeouts and four walks. Junior Cody McPherson picked up his first save with three strikeouts over the final five batters of the game.
Brennan Bauman led the Bluffton offense with three hits, including a double, and two runs scored. Kyle Trainer knocked in two runs and Stephen Torres crossed the plate twice in Bluffton's 2009 baseball finale.

Jets fans reek of desperation.
Always clinging to whatever little success we've had in the past.
And you know what, he was absolutely right when he said "its a process". We deviated from that process and thats why we are in the mess we are in today. That process is building a team around smart, high character, hard working disciplined players that love the game.. We were fooled into thinking that we were a good team his first year when we went 10-6 and got into the playoffs after going 4-12 the year before. We were not that good. That was when ownership and the GM started to deviate from "the process" and started a pattern of building the team with veteran high priced free agents rather than sticking to Mangini's long term plan/vision of building through the draft with young smart, high character, hard working disciplined players that love the game. When they signed Favre they totally undercut Mangini.
Mangini did not deserve to be fired. If you think Rex should stay then there is no reason to have wanted Mangini fired. I honestly believe had Mangini stayed, this team would have achieved more under his guidance than under Rex, especially with the upgrade at ILB, WR, and Safety that Rex had his first year. I also think this would be a better team today.
Was Mangini a great coach. Of course not. But keep in mind, he became a HC after only 1 year as a D-Coordinator and 8 years as a Defensive assistant. How many guys do you know who became HC after so little experience, let alone a successful HC. Considering how little experience Mangini had going into the Jets job, he did amazingly well- 2 out of 3 years with a winning record and a playoff appearance. Thats incredible from a guy with so little prior experience.
Hes had 5 years of HC experience under his belt, has matured as a person, and Im sure hes gained alot of knowledge working with former coaches at ESPN and also understanding on how the media works and how to deal with them (something he struggled with and I believe cost him his job). I have no doubt Eric will be a solid HC again in the NFL if given a chance.
Is he my 1st choice to take over for Rex? No. But I would certainly add him to the mix and would not be the least bit disappointed if he got another chance with us
Here's what I know:
The Jets sucked and sucked bad before Parcells.
Anyone could have turned around the team after the 96' season but when was the last time the Jets were in the AFC championship game before 98' I think that was 82' mud bowl so 16 years.
How many losing seasons did the Jets have after that 82' season? How many playoff wins or even appearances? How many did we have during and after Parcells?
Hated his drafts but loved the attitude he brought to the Jets. Great coach, great motivator.
Parcells did more for us than probably any coach in Jets history besides Weeb. He didn't make the greatest decisions all the time but no one does. I'm happy he put the Jets back on the map and I will always be thankful for that.
First we need Tuna Back?
Now, Mangini was wronged by the Jets and was really the bestest coach eva, if only we gave him a chance?
Fomer Jet Obsession Syndrome.
Next Jet Obsession Syndrome.
I.e. the only ****ty worthless scumsucking Jets are the ones currently employed/on the roster.
Every other Jet before or possible Jets in the future, are the awesome.
Gotta love the chuckle****ing internet.
Completely agree
But this is no time for bringing hIm back 16 years older
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
righthad Testaverde not been injured in the 1st play vs. Patriots we would have been back to the AFC title game at the least.
Testaverde's career indicated that his 98 season was a complete fluke. To assume Testaverde would have played lights out in 1999 and the Jets would have made the AFC championship game 'at least' is absurd.
Marv Levy.
when are the parcells comments ever going to stop?!?!?!? he is a has-been, and he f*cked us over once, why would we let him do it again? i'd rather bring back HERM before this douche.
Parcells brought credibility to this franchise. Something we didnt have since 1969.
Before Parcells, between 1970-1997, we had a total of 5 winning seasons out of 27 seasons, only 5 playoff appearances, 1 championship game appearance, and 12 seasons of double digit losses.
Since Parcells(1997-2011) weve had 10 winning seasons out of 15 seasons, 7 playoff appearances, 3 championship game appearances, and only 3 seasons of double digit losses.
I think any Jets fan who doesnt show appreciation for what the Tuna has meant to this franchise is either clueless or too young to experience the tradition of losing that this franchise has.
Maybe someone could dig up Knute Rockne?
trolling along hijacking another thread on a Jets message board
what a frigging loser

I don't know what happened at your house over the weekend, but at my house, my hubby was watching the US Open all weekend! In fact, for Father's Day Sunday, I had to take him to Academy to look for the plush tiger club cover that Tiger Woods was sporting over the weekend.

GUEST COLUMN: What Charles B. Reed meant for the California State University system
Source: Press-Telegram, 12/7/12
View Original Article
By Dianne F. Harrison, president of California State University, Northridge.
As Charles B. Reed retires this month as chancellor of the 23-campus California State University, I want to pay tribute to both his legacy and character.
My service with Dr. Reed predates my arrival in the CSU in 2006, when he was chancellor of the State University System of Florida and I served as a tenured faculty member and a dean at Florida State University.
This experience has given me unique insight into his outstanding leadership. Above all, I found him to be sincerely caring about students. He is also smart, creative, principled, loyal, passionate, politically savvy and shrewd. I have appreciated his directness even when we disagreed. He can tell stories as a raconteur nonpareil and has a keen sense of humor.
The CSU and the state of California have benefited greatly from Dr. Reed's national and international reputation as an innovator in education and community outreach, and from his commitment to diversity and to assisting traditionally under-served students and all communities.
The qualities and values that have informed Dr. Reed's focus and service are reflected in his record of accomplishment as the CSU chancellor. Since his appointment in 1998, the CSU went from 350,000 enrolled students to 430,000, with a high of 440,000 before state budget reductions.
We now annually award over 95,000 degrees (including 20,000 master's degrees), versus 67,000 in 1998. It is estimated his signature is on the diplomas of more than 1.5 million Florida and California graduates. Among the CSU's 44,000 employees, 16,000 are from traditionally underrepresented groups (that is 36 percent of the CSU workforce versus 27 percent in 1998). The CSU's endowment has also increased by more than 200 percent, from $339 million to $1.02 billion.
While the CSU's remarkable growth under Chancellor Reed's leadership is impressive on its own, he takes particular pride in ensuring access and opportunity for students from traditionally under-served backgrounds and communities. This focus has always been a hallmark of the CSU's mission and reflects his personal values and priorities. The CSU works closely with community organizations to assist Latino, African-American, Asian Pacific Islander, and Native American students and parents, as well as veterans and former foster youth.
During Chancellor Reed's tenure, the number of degrees conferred to Hispanic students increased by 111 percent, to African-Americans by 30 percent, and to Asian-Americans by 50 percent. These achievements are the result of outreach initiatives and programs that Chancellor Reed personally spearheaded, such as the distribution of 3 million copies of "How to Get to College" materials and statewide "Super Sunday" events during which CSU officials personally visit churches in African-American communities to speak about the importance of a college education.
In 2012 alone, the CSU visited 100 churches statewide and spoke to 100,000 students and their families. Chancellor Reed was always present and deeply involved in these efforts. He also worked to ensure that these students - many of them first generation Americans or the first in their families to attend college - had the financial support to enroll and succeed. Last year the CSU granted more than $550 million in State University Grants to approximately 130,000 students, up from $106 million in 1998.
In recent years, as a difficult budget environment has threatened the stability and reputation of California's public higher education systems, Chancellor Reed's directness and strong advocacy for preserving access and quality sometimes led to controversy and animosity - reactions I thought were unfair, as did others who knew and admired him. Through it all, he never wavered or backed down, and remained steadfastly committed to working on behalf of the CSU, its students, and the state of California.
During his tenure, Chancellor Reed shepherded the CSU system through tremendous growth and enrollment demand and then fought to maintain strength and quality in the face of difficult odds. Balancing his tremendous accomplishments against the challenges of significant budget reductions, he leaves behind a strong legacy of leadership of which the people of California should be proud and appreciative. It is a tribute to Dr. Reed's work that the incoming new chancellor of the CSU, Dr. Timothy P. White, looks forward to building on a solid foundation for providing continued access and opportunity for the diverse population of our state.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks are going to wear a patch on their uniforms for the rest of the season honoring the 19 firefighters who died in the wildfire about 80 miles from Phoenix.
The firefighters died Sunday night in Yarnell.
During the four-game series against the New York Mets that began Monday night, the Diamondbacks will wear black bands on the right arm of their jerseys to pay tribute to the fallen firefighters who were from a crew in Prescott, Ariz.
Both teams will hang a jersey in their dugouts bearing the name "Yarnell" and the No. 19. Those jerseys were shown on the scoreboard at Citi Field during a moment of silence before the national anthem. There was a moment of silence at ballparks across the majors.
The Diamondbacks will wear black jerseys when they return home for a weekend series against Colorado. Those tops will have a white patch over the heart with the No. 19.
"Our hearts are aching for the fallen firefighters and the entire community turned upside down by this unfair act of weather and nature," Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall said in a statement. "It is devastatingly amazing how quickly our lives can change in a matter of moments."
The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation will match all donations made to dbacks.com up to $100,000. Donations of $19 or more will be entered for the opportunity to win a signed jersey with "Yarnell" and the No. 19 on the back.
Additionally, proceeds from a weekend raffle and an online auction on dbacks.com will go the families of the firefighters.
"We'll never replace what they've had to go through, but hopefully we can help them in some capacity," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said.
A logo with the number 19 will be painted on the grass at Chase Field for the Diamondbacks' homestand that begins Friday. After the homestand, the Diamondbacks will wear a memorial patch for the remainder of the season.

October 8, 2013 | Ashli O'Connell
Each year, one weekend is set aside for generations of the Evangel family to come together and celebrate both the legacy and the future of the University. Homecoming 2013, held October 3-7, was historic in a number of ways. First, it represented the first time that Evangel, Central Bible College and Assemblies of God Theological Seminary enjoyed Homecoming together as a consolidated university. Second, this Homecoming served as a special tribute to retiring President Robert H. Spence, celebrating his 40 years of service to Evangel. Here's a look at how Homecoming played out on social media. Thanks for being a part of #EUHC13 and sharing your experience with us.

"Grand Coulee to Grunge" exhibit opens at State Capitol Sept. 4
A new exhibit unveiled by the Office of Secretary of State celebrates Washington's great triumphs – from the making of the Boeing Company that ushered in passenger air travel to the coffee culture inspired by Howard Schultz.
"Grand Coulee to Grunge: Eight stories that changed the world" is an image-driven exhibit that recounts feats in business, science, technology and music with influence around the globe.
Secretary of State Kim Wyman says the free, privately funded exhibit is designed to foster a better understanding of Washington, from its unique position along the Pacific Rim to the innovators and risk takers who carried the Washington name to the world stage.
"The innovative spirit of Washington is second to none," Wyman said. "We're fortunate to live in a place respected around the world for its innovation, vision and investment in the future. This exhibit captures our global achievements in a way that is very interesting to see."
Wyman's Legacy Washington team created the exhibit, which will be displayed in the office lobby on the second floor of the Legislative Building for one year before it travels to heritage organizations statewide.
The exhibit launches Sept. 4 with a reception in the Capitol Rotunda and the Office of Secretary of State from 4 to 6 p.m. The public is invited. The reception features remarks from Wyman, musician and activist Krist Novoselic, business leaders, members of Washington's congressional delegation and state legislators.
The exhibit spotlights eight stories that influenced the world:
• Building the Future looks at Weyerhaeuser's rise into a timber empire.
• Created the "Eighth Wonder" is about the building of the Grand Coulee Dam and how it revolutionized Washington agriculture by bringing irrigation to a parched Eastern Washington, provided cheap hydroelectric power and aided in the production of aluminum for Boeing aircraft used in World War II.
• Ended the War reviews the Hanford Nuclear Reservation's quiet yet vital role in providing plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, helping end World War II.
• Introduced Air Travel spotlights Boeing's central role in aerospace and its contributions to world air travel, as well as its role in the creation of the Saturn V rocket that literally launched several Apollo missions to the moon.
• Feeding the Globe tells how Washington's agriculture industry grew to become a worldwide leader in the export of apples, wheat, potatoes, wine and other first-class products.
• Exporting the Culture is about innovative companies like Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco and Amazon.com that have become known globally.
• Rocked the Planet takes viewers back to various times when Washington musicians reached stardom and legendary status, from crooner Bing Crosby to famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix to Nirvana, which exploded onto the rock music scene in the early 1990s and helped make grunge a household word.
• Wired the World looks at how Bill Gates and Paul Allen formed Microsoft and transformed it into a computer software colossus that helped connect the world and created thousands of "Microsoft millionaires" in Washington alone.

The Chefs: Abby and Alisha
The Menu: Hello, lovely. This meal might have been the most hearty, savory lunch we've ever had. Abby, and her sister Alisha who's in town visiting, busted out some delicious meatless ribs, a perfect spinach salad with sunflower seeds and homemade dressing, broccoli with grated carrots covered in melted Daiya, and, the grand finale, Daiya biscuits. Um, maybe Abby makes the best biscuits on the planet, and maybe they are even better filled with Daiya. We're just saying.

How big was the bang? Was the pope's interview really "explosive"?
Pope Francis keeps scoring big wins on the media front, most recently with his wide-ranging interview, published in English in America magazine--and well worth the read, if you want a peek into the soul of a good pastor who may become a pastoral pope. International news media were quick to pick up on the sensation, eager to turn the pope's remark about the church getting obsessed with "small-minded rules" into a signal of big changes coming. Religion News Service headlined the interview as "explosive"--but how big was the actual bang?
I count myself among those delighted by the interview--and generally delighted by Jorge Maria Bergoglio himself (though I would have wished for a little less emphasis on the Jesuits from the Jesuit interviewer!). But my takeaway from the pope's interview is simply: I've thought these things for a long time, and many Catholics I know have as well. We have all longed for a church in which the needs of the poor are brought to the fore, in which rules are always held in relation to the needs and situations of actual people (as in the case of divorce and remarriage), and in which the dignity of LGBT people is fully acknowledged even as most Catholics (including heterosexual people) struggle with sexual morality. And I think we all agree that discernment is the key to the renewal of the church, along with some much-needed structural reform.
In other words, Pope Francis is saying what many Catholics the world over have long been thinking--which marks a decisive shift in attitude, and one not diminished by his comments yesterday about the dignity of human life in the womb. I'm sure I join many Catholics in celebrating the fact that the bishop of Rome is a man who is first a pastor. And yet, that could all change tomorrow if the pope, God forbid, should die and be replaced by someone without that sensitivity.
In that light, the work I hope Pope Francis will do is to seek a church reform in which the message and emphasis of the Roman Catholic Church does not rest so much on the personality of the bishop of Rome. The actual person in Peter's chair will always matter, and if Pope Francis can begin a reform in which the pope's role is to moderate and lead the people of God in living an adult faith--one that does not rely so much on the judgments of the guy sitting in Peter's chair--that would truly be explosive. Papa Bergoglio has taken some intriguing steps in that direction in a mere six months. Let's hope there is more to come.

Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks is known around the world for his range in movies as well as that distinct Tom Hanks yelling that most people seem to love (we always liked the "make you a margarita!" rant from "Turner & Hooch"). Would you believe Mr. Hanks also has a bit of a far-fetched connection with the Denver Nuggets now, too?
Nuggets TV play-by-play man Chris Marlowe, in a former life, was a renown beach volleyball player during his collegiate days at San Diego State University. While out in California, he tried his hand at acting, appearing in low-budget movies such as "Rollerball", "Rounders", "The 6th Man" and more while also appearing in TV shows such as the "Love Boat", "A Man Called Sloane" and "Bosom Buddies."
If that last acting appearance does (or doesn't) ring a bell, it was the show on which Hanks got his first break in a leading role. The show aired from 1980-82 and had 37 episodes before being cancelled. How does this all tie into Marlowe? He appeared in an episode as a masseuse named "Sven" and shared a little screen time with Hanks.
Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post shares the details:
The footage has been uncovered! Marlowe, as you may know, was an actor back in the early 80s, when he nabbed a role on the sitcom "Bosom Buddies," starring Peter Scolari (and also Tom Hanks). Marlowe played Sven, the Swedish masseuse, who had a classic line: "I would like you to relax your tushy."
Marlowe tells a fun story. One time, he ran into Hanks at a restaurant in L.A. He approached the Oscar winner and was like, "Tom, this is going to sounds silly, but actually, I was on an episode of 'Bosom Buddies.' " And Hanks scrupulously looked him up and down and then said: "Sven!"
And in case you're wondering, here's a more recent photo of Marlowe:

Per John Fay's article..
"Never draft for need: In 2002, the Reds were set on drafting a pitcher. But they brought in a chubby first baseman for a workout anyway. He sprayed line drives around the park and showed great power. The Reds drafted Chris Gruler third overall that year. The first baseman went seventh to Milwaukee. His name? Prince Fielder."
What I am shocked about, yes knowing we could have had him, but knowing Griffey Jr was around him when he was young, you think his name would have came up and maybe Jr could have said to the Reds front office: YES draft him!!
amazing how many good players this organization i the past let slip away: Prince Fielder, Derek Jeter to name two!!
