Facebook FriendPhotoCaptcha Roadblock
Facebook has recently and silently introduced a new "security" feature, that does a lot to prevent legitimate users from accessing facebook, but almost nothing to deter determined scammers and hackers.
The security feature works as follows: Suppose you try to log in to Facebook from a location you don't usually use, for example when traveling (which is usually when it's most important for you to keep in touch with friends and family). Facebook asks you to verify your identity. And how would you do that? By identifying photos where your Facebook friends have been tagged. In order to regain access to your account you need to solve a CAPTCHA, then identify 7 out of 9 photos of friends. Even a single error fails the test but you do have two "skip"s. The photos are selected randomly from all photos in which any of your friends have been tagged. If you fail, you can try again within an hour. Returning to a "verified" location does not help once the roadblock has been triggered.
I guess the reasoning behind this: If you are really you, you should be able to identify your friends by their pictures. Right? Wrong! First of all, Facebook (and certain apps) keep pushing you to add more and more distant acquaintances as friends. People who you're unlikely to even identify by seeing a clear picture of their face. Second of all, people tag each other in photos that are nothing like a clear portait. When I was faced with the challenge I had to tag pictures of feet, pictures of dogs, blurry pictures of people from behind, and "funny" drawings. I am not the only one. Many people have been locked out of their accounts for hours due to this impossible "security" challenge.
How did I eventually regain access to my account? The same way any attacker who isn't me could have. The questions in the challenge are multiple-choice. One or two pictures and five names to choose from. Since my profile is relatively open to the public I could create a bogus Facebook account and see my friend list and their public pages. Most of these include a profile picture which allowed me to try and verify the person. Some have a more public profile where all pictures are available, and then I could find the actual picture from the challenge — just like anyone who isn't me could have.
An attacker's arsenal would also include creating a new account with my name and photo, and trying to "friend" all my Facebook friends. With enough people accepting this friendship (which many will), you can access all their photos and easily solve the challenge. In fact, this could be automated, and the only obstacle is several CAPTCHAs that need to be solved, a problem easily solved by spammers using outsourcing or fake "free porn" sites.
Finally, I would like to suggest several other security methods that could actually work:
- Require a user to tag only photos he or she has uploaded, or that he or she appears in. Ask about where or when a picture was taken, and be more lenient.
- Require a user to use an alternative method to contact a few of his or her friends (of the user's choice) and have them log in can confirm they are OK (for example by giving them some kind of key).
- Get security questions or challenges from the users in advance — something the user knows he or she can solve. Make it clear that these questions are not ONLY for the case of lost passwords.
- Make a phone call or send a text message to a phone number that is in the user's profile with a key to access the site.
Better still, allow several of these methods at once. Besides, Facebook is not a bank. Just let go of the stupid security.

WIth so many contests and polls Paramore is involved in, it really adds up as far as topics go. Plus you have to look around and try and find all these links for different contests and it's really just a hassle.
So we're going to try a little expiriment here. From now on, post links to contests and polls here and they'll be added to the discussion in an organized manner based off of importance and when said poll or contest ends.
Thanks to Matt for the idea, let's see how well this works! As for now, start finding those contests and start posting!

Tough to take, this subject. In David Harrower's Blackbird, we follow the aftermath, 15 years later, of a man having had sex with a 12-year-old girl when he was 40.
The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm production (through June 1) is being directed with careful pacing and attention to nuance by Tony Estrella, and performed with full commitment by the two actors.
One of the most impressive touches is before the play starts, when the two characters are standing blurred and immobile behind the background frosted glass of Jessica Hill's set design, before the stage snaps to black for a moment and we begin. Character summaries don't get much more precise and economical than that.
Una (Madeleine Lambert) has come to the workplace of Ray (Jim O'Brien) to confront him. It's after hours, so there is no one else to disturb if she raises her voice. He goes by the name Peter now, so she wouldn't have discovered him if she hadn't recently seen his photograph in a publication.
This isn't an entirely successful play, sometimes spinning its wheels in filling out its intermissionless 90 minutes, especially at the beginning. I couldn't accept as real all the conversational delaying tactics of the opening few minutes. In such confrontational circumstances, you have to get to the point, people. Una could have made short work of Ray's indignant anger over her showing up where he works — and, for that matter, on what planet does someone accused of being a monster get to be uppity? Right away, a little verbal slap upside the head by his accuser could have adjusted his perspective on the situation.
Ray is hardly unaware of how serious this meeting is going to be. He spends a lot of time arguing with her about taking the discussion outside, or at least keeping the door open, which she wants closed because of a draft . So he's suspicious that she might want to be setting him up, and is nervous about a large purse she has brought. She finds his concern amusing and jokes that a bottle of water in the purse is acid, a jest that we see, when he casually takes a swig from it, has relaxed him a bit.
Back then he spent more than three years in prison for his crime, treated as you'd expect by other prisoners, which still was better than her father killing him, which he understandably wanted to do. Hostile, he calls her visit "pointless," since he feels he has paid for his actions and himself suffered emotionally. He is married and simply wants to go about his normal life, not be plunged back into the past. "How the hell is this good? Tell me," he demands.
Excellent question. After all, it is how Una has adjusted to her experiences as a child that we are more interested in. She says that she wrote about 100 letters to him in prison, never sending them but still reading "the best ones." Yet she has not had closure, though apparently he has.

The bungalows are best described as a low budget villa-style collection of buildings set in an overgrown garden (PICS). The picture of the room actually does it slightly more justice than it deserves, as it does not show the stains and general dirt that lurked around the room. However, it was the price that attracted us to the place (�4.50 a night with breakfast!), and the friendly host made us feel welcome and helped with our luggage
We decided that the best way to see most of the sights around the island would be to hire a driver for the day (we had read that this could be done quite cheaply). No sooner did we mention this to our host he helpfully offered the services of a driver he knew well - his brother! We agreed to hire him as our chauffer for the following day at a rather competitive price of 400,000IDR or about �25 for the entire day!
Walking down the main street of Ubud from our accommodation we reached Monkey Forest, which, as the name suggests, is a forest full of wild monkeys (or macaques). As soon as we neared the entrance to the forest we could see the monkeys sitting on the walls along the pathway (PICS), munching on bananas and rambutan (like lychee), that paying visitors had thrown to them. The tiny baby monkeys were exceptionally cute and looked very timid and unsure whenever they were any more than a foot away from their parents.
A forest ranger fed a large group of apes in an open area of the forest and this gave a good opportunity for some great photos (PICS)
Leaving the Monkey Forest we wandered back up the main road. It was MUCH nicer than Kuta or Nusa Dua both in terms of its appearance and the degree of hassle that we received from the locals. We obviously were approached to enter shops and buy their goods but a simple "no thank you" sufficed in Ubud, whereas the Kuta-ites would not give in. Ubud is known as a much more cultural and arts-oriented town than Kuta and the surrounding area features many examples of painting, carving and stone cutting that are then sold in the main street. The main street in Ubud is basically the only street of any worth and contain most things a visitor could want; from hotels and bungalows, to restaurants, art galleries, shops, banks, Internet cafes and one or two 'tourist information' tour sellers.
Each shop had a number of religious offerings outside the door, assumingly to bless the store for that days trade (PIC). They seemed to be multi-purpose, looking pretty and smelling nice with their incense burning and also attracting the ants with a small cracker - apparently to keep them out of the shop.
There is a large rice paddy field halfway along the main street (PIC), which seems remarkably out of place. Slightly further up the road is a larger field that the locals use constantly for games of football (PIC), making Andrew miss his regular games (both playing and watching) back in the UK
We stopped along the main street for a taste of the local cuisine and were pleasantly surprised with what we discovered. A good-sized meal of chicken satay, rice and drinks cost us less than �3.
We awoke early the following day to begin our day tour of the 'best of Bali' and after a quick breakfast of fruit and pancakes we met with our driver Nyoman. A brief discussion ensued where we planned our route around the islands attractions; we were relieved to find that Nyoman seemed to know what he was saying and seemed to know where he was going - we were worried that this was a one-off favour from his brother and he may have never done it before!
Climbing into our transport (which we are still convinced Nyoman had hired for the day) we began dodging the road-happy dogs and chickens around the rural areas of Bali on our way to our first stop - Goa Gajah, otherwise known as Elephant Caves.
Goa Gajah was the first of a number of temples that we would be visiting on our day trip
The second temple on our day's itinerary was Gunung Kawi, a temple that, according to the Lonely Planet is one of the most impressive sights in Bali. A bizarre statue of two woolly mammoths (PIC) and more importantly, 310 steps, lay between us and seeing whether this fact was true - so we began our journey downhill. The path down to the temple has good and bad attributes. Firstly the good is that along one side is an array of huge rice terraces running down the hillside (PIC), thus giving us our first view of what we had pictured a rice paddy to look like; impressive in its vastness
Finally reaching the bottom of the steps we rounded a corner and were presented with a startling view of four enormous rock carvings (PIC). Walking further into the temple (PIC) a range of carved structures, both wooden and stone, stood in a courtyard with a crypt alongside used for cremation ceremonies. The local wildlife, ducks and stray dogs, wandered around the temple site seemingly oblivious to our presence (PICS).
Temple number three was a 'water temple', known as Tirtha Empul. A collection of impressive stone pagodas and gateways encapsulated pools and ponds (PICS) throughout the temple grounds. One of which was used by the locals as a bathing pool (PIC). The fruit hanging from some of the trees nearby was almost as big as a human head (PIC) - and would probably win against one if it dropped from that height! A maze of stalls had to be negotiated before we reached the car park and our driver - onto the next destination.
Our next port of call, we thought, was to be Mt
We walked through an orchard of different plants and reached a small hut with an old woman sat at a window slowly roasting coffee beans (PIC). It was like being transported back in time to an age before farm machinery and high capacity production techniques - the smell was amazing! We were subsequently ushered to a balcony overlooking a massive plantation and served with a selection of coffees and teas, including Bali Coffee, Cocoa, Ginseng Coffee, Ginger Tea and Lemongrass Tea (PIC). Most of the drinks were surprisingly nice, especially the Ginseng Coffee which tasted like Red Bull in the form of coffee.
We waited for the bill but to our amazement we were taken to another area to try some local fruit (PIC). We recognised the mangoes but had no idea what the other three things were. They turned out to be Mangosteen, Salak (aka Snake fruit), and Rambutan and were all really delicious.
Finally we arrived at a shop - it all became clear. We were impressed with the Ginseng Coffee enough to consider buying a few sachets, until we saw the price and politely haggled and then refused. If they had any of the fruit for sale we may have relented but instead we left empty handed and without having to spend a cent.
Our next stop was on our planned route; Mt & Lake Batur
Heading south from the mountain we reached Besakih Temple, the largest temple in Asia. We also encountered a perfect example of the local con artists. Approaching the temple we had to pay 25,000IDR (about �1.50) for entry to the area - this was about double the price of every temple but we relented due to the fact that it was supposed to be so big....and they had guns. Parking up we then got to the temple gates and found that we had to pay for a guide to take us around the temple. Disbelief was followed by a heated discussion as a German couple paid 200,000IDR for their guide! There was no way we were going to pay anything like that. It looked like there was no way we were getting in without a guide so we eventually managed to (quietly) get a guide for 50,000IDR. The biggest con was that some cars were not stopped for the initial payment and some groups with their own private tour guide did not have to pay for a temple guide either - CONNED!
The temple itself was immense, a sprawling mass of buildings and walled courtyards linked by thousands of steps that climb up the volcano that the temple is built into. Some parts of the temple climb over 5km up the volcano slope; these outer buildings are used as pilgrimages for the devotees at certain times of year
Some of the buildings are constructed using volcanic rock, giving the temple its characteristic black colour. The layered roofing is also a very distinguishable feature of this temple and gives it a dramatic appearance when set against the surrounding woodland as seen in the panoramic shot (PIC).
Leaving our fourth temple we stopped at a nearby restaurant for a buffet meal of local delicacies, and were joined by a rather noisy cockerel (PIC) whilst trying to eat. Perhaps he was worried that he would be the next one on the menu!
Driving further south we passed several more rice paddy fields and an unusual watermelon field with the local workers hard at their jobs (PIC). In the next village we came across a colourful ceremony involving the entire community (PICS). We later discovered it was a cremation ceremony but the colours and music seemed like much more of a celebration - perhaps a fitting way to say goodbye to someone, especially as in the Indonesians faith they believe they are moving onto paradise.
Our final destination, and final temple of the day, was Tanah Lot - one of the more famous temples in Bali, mainly due to its unique location
On a cliffs edge just behind Tanah Lot lies a smaller shrine, which we christened Tanah Little (for want of its real name)(PIC). On our way back to the car we were stopped in our tracks by an unsuspected creature across our path (PICS). It was known as the Holy Snake but we doubted that there was very little religious meaning to the snake, more just a way for the locals to gain some extra cash with tourists getting their pictures taken with it.
Tired and ready for our not-too-comfy beds in the not-so-clean and not-so-air-conditioned room we headed back to the car, passing a couple of bats hanging from a nearby branch in the marketplace (PIC). It had been a long day but we were very pleased with the amount of area we had covered and the sights we had seen. It was definitely a great, and reasonably cheap, way to see a lot of the island. Something we would recommend to anyone planning to visit Bali.
The day after our mammoth day trip we left the Argasoka Bungalows and checked into the much more comfortable, clean and air-conditioned Ubud Bungalows just a minutes walk up the road. The price reflected this improvement, over 4 times the price, but for one final night in Bali we decided it was worth the outlay. We had suffered a few nasty mosquito bites the day before (PICS) so needed somewhere a bit more restful to recover! (or that's our reasoning anyway!).
The Ubud bungalows are simple but well appointed and above all clean! They have a number of attractive features such as the ornately decorated doors and intricately carved wooden fixtures (PICS). The gardens around each bungalow are also very attractive and add to the overall ambience of the place, as does the pool (PICS).
We spent hours of our final day in Bali booking planes, trains and hotels for Singapore and Malaysia before grabbing another local meal. We needed cash to pay the 100,000 IDR departure tax (�7 each) so went to the nearest ATM. The ATM was offline so we crossed the road and used a neighbouring one. After plugging in our details and selecting our withdrawal we were shocked to find that no cash followed our card out of the machine. On second inspection the machine looked like it could have been tampered with so Andrew called his bank and told them to prevent any transactions for the next day or so (as of yet it hasn't appeared on his account).
In desperate need of money we consequently had to walk over a mile to the next ATM, which we found in a newsagents
Eventually, almost 2 hours later than intended, we got our local meal.
With a bit of time to kill before leaving for the airport, we decided to 'enjoy' a local massage. It was a steal at less than �2 for 30 minutes so we jumped onto the massage beds and relaxed - although not for long! The massage was the hardest, most painful and bone crunching experience of our lives. The tiny women doing the kneading must have had finger muscles like Arnold Schwarzeneggers biceps, to be tenderising us to such a degree. At certain times it was all we could do to stop ourselves from screaming 'STOP'. All in all - it was quite nice!
A taxi took us from Ubud to the airport. We managed to negotiate a fairly good deal of 120,000IDR, although we still think we could have got it for less. At the airport a quick check-in and no less than 3 security checks and we were on the plane to Singapore.

Try This.....!
Just doing my usual Fly tying experiments and will get pictures on.... but in the meantime... try tying the Extra long Hackle Rays fly with a epoxied Clouser head and tuffs of Maribou just behind the clouser eye.... all you need to do is get four long Hackles... the one I did is one 10 inch Blue hackle hy-tied on top of the shank ala Abrames, then two long yellow on either side of the hook... 9 inch pearl flashabou and two shorter 6 to 7 inches of aqua green long hackle... voila.., big sand eel for those 20 foot depts off a boat..... Next.... start experimenting, as I have done ,by tying your small bait fish with ALL angle hair.... Thread hook... put strip of silver or pearl saltwater flashabou around the thread on shank and Hy-tie white angle hair ...2 or 3 inches.... then a different color angel hair on top of that.... Epoxy one coat back to the bend and hold into possition until dry.. put eyes and do second coat... great color and flash for early spring schoolies. Don't forget the profile you want is like a Bullet shape not fan shaped... so it will come out like a Poplovic Surf candy... but with great color though the epoxy that flashes more than the usual ultra hair surf candy.

Watch these luscious cheesecakes bars disappear fast from your dessert table - a perfect treat for all chocolate lovers!
Purchase chocolate wafers to crush for the recipe. Look for them in slim boxes at the grocery store near cookies, baking ingredients and/or ice cream toppings. Or, use chocolate cookie crumbs found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.
Let the cheesecake stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting and serving it; the stand time helps the fudge adhere to the cake.
To make buffet service easy, pre-cut the cheesecake squares in the pan.

For three of the last four weeks, markets have tumbled lower.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 9.63 points, or 0.59%, to 1626.73 on Friday. For the week, the index was down 16.65 points, or 1.01%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 105.90 points, or 0.70% , to 15070.18 Friday. It was down 177.94 points, or 1.17% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite inched 21.81 points lower, or 0.64%, to 3,423.56. It fell 45.66 points, or 1.32% for the week. More market index data here.
But put the volatility aside, and the S&P remains up 14% year to date and the Dow is up 15%. Expect more volatility next week: the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee on Wednesday afternoon will offer a policy announcement and updated forecasts. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke speaks thereafter. It's likely that "verbiage will be sufficiently opaque" so that interpretations won't paint policymakers into a corner, writes MFR Chief Economist Joshua Shapiro.
Robert V. DiClemente at Citi Research writes that:
"The financial setting for next week's FOMC meeting reflects an emerging reassessment of the outlook and its implications for monetary policy. We think officials will attempt to clarify that a pending decision to scale back asset purchase does not establish an end date for quantitative easing (QE) let alone a timetable for raising rates. Nonetheless, while the policy message may moderate the recent upswing in market rates, improving growth prospects suggest that it is unlikely to reverse the trend. We think a mid-September cutback in the pace of QE remains likely with an initial tapering concentrated in Treasuries."

Make sensational shrimp! The secret is the peppy citrus marinade that goes together in minutes.
Marinating for a little longer will intensify the flavor slightly, but don't leave it for more than 2 hours. The marinade will start to break down the tissues in the shrimp, and the bell pepper will not be as pretty.

Four LJIS Student Winners in MLK Jr. Essay Contest
Posted on 02/17/2017
The Brazoria County Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee recently held their annual poster and essay contest in honor of Dr. King's legacy. This contest was open to all Brazoria County students in grades 6-12. According to their official guideline, the intent is to provide "all students an opportunity to learn about Dr. King, his message and his work; to give students an opportunity to reflect on our present and the future in light of Dr. King's purpose; and to encourage continued study through financial awards that can hopefully help students continue their lives and education with a permanent appreciation for Dr. King."
Students were to write a 300-350 word essay on the topic "The Time Is Right To Do What Is Right!" They were to explain what the quote means to them and what they feel it meant to Dr. King. Essays were judged on content, expression, form, mechanics and overall presentation.
Winners were contacted by phone and awards were presented to the first, second, and third place winners on February 16, at Brazosport College's Gator Hall. Four Lake Jackson Intermediate School (LJIS) students were chosen to receive awards.
6th-7th Grade Essay Category
Mariaying Sanchez - 2nd Place
8th-9th Grade Essay Category
Joseph Dyess - 1st Place
Julia Braun - 2nd Place
Ty Sims - 3rd Place
Also congratulations goes to the LJIS English Language Arts 7th Grade teacher Kelli Montgomery and 8th Grade ELA teacher Tara Rice for inspiring their students to participate this year.
The Brazoria County Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee (MLKCC) is a non-profit organization that exists to perpetuate the memory of Dr. King and his legacy of achievement to future generations. Since 1986, MLKCC has sponsored events to celebrate the holiday honoring Dr. King and serves as advocates of social, racial, and ethnic harmony – cornerstones of Dr. King's dream for justice, fairness, and equality.
We are very proud to have students participate in such a worthy contest and to have them chosen for their work.

To study creative writing at Columbia University's School of the Arts, in New York City, is to join a distinguished group of writers who arrived at a prestigious university in the nation's literary capital to explore the deep artistic power of language. J.D. Salinger enrolled in a short story course here in 1939. Federico Garcia Lorca wrote Poet in New York while he was a student at Columbia. Carson McCullers worked odd jobs in the city to pay for her Columbia writing courses. Eudora Welty, Jack Kerouac, Langston Hughes, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Auster: these reknowned writers and many others have left a legacy of originality and brilliance that charges the atmosphere at Columbia and lends genuine excitement to the prospect of literary creation on campus.
New York City is as vibrant as ever, home to writers from all over the world, and Columbia's literary legacy continues unabated. Home now to a top-ranked graduate MFA program in creative writing, an undergraduate program that allows students to pursue their craft under the diligent supervision of a world-class faculty, the Columbia literary experience includes rigorous writing workshops at all levels in fiction, literary nonfiction, poetry, dramatic writing, and screenwriting, and seminars designed exclusively for creative writing students.
Student writers not only have access to these provocative and rigorous courses, but they also can partake in the larger offerings of Columbia's thriving School of the Arts: the readings, lectures, performances, and plays that bring together the world's most gifted artists and writers, who come to Columbia to test their vision and explore the enormous power of literary art.

This is as reported by what is called the MSM in our part of the country-
4 Pierce County Deputies contracted by Lakewood, WA to serve on their police force were killed prior to their shift while having coffee at a Spanaway?, WA coffee shop.
The lone gunman was very thorough in that no bystanders were injured.
The coffee shop owner stated the officers were regulars.
The claim is - they were filling out paperwork on their laptops prior to the start of shift.
A very large law enforcement contingent was committed to seeking the perpetrator, who they believe they have ID'd. The suspect is cornered in a house in Seattle & may be deceased.
Why is this on POTUS Place? The "Huckster" pardoned him while Gov of Arkansas. The "Huckster's" Willie Horton moment. The "Huckster" is now blaming the systems in AR & WA.
My sympathies to the families of these officers & though they will be well compensated for this tragedy, nothing can replace a loved one.

It goes on, as you can imagine…
But, here's the beauty part:
And, stop right there. That's it – that's where I start to tear up.
Find out what prompted all of this and more, over at Bakerella. If you have feelings, the story will touch your heart like crazy. I tear up a bit every time I read it. I have never met these people, and I tear up a bit. You want to make fun of me? Go ahead. I may be ridiculous, but at least I have copious amounts of feelings that cannot be contained.

The AP Polls are PURE Human(Obviously) and therefore subject to scandalous bias.
Uh How many Split Championships happen b/c of the AP?! Going back to having JUST the AP Poll is going to SUCK.
i want to take this opportunity before the regular season ends to thank the many contributors to this year's college football thread!
the passionate fans here have "talked smack" about their team and yours. but when they lose, as gentlemen they have also stood up and faced the "crow eating" sessions that running their "poo poo eaters" got them into in the first place.* this is civil and respectful fun for all.
*hey, has anyone heard from paul or merlin in the last couple of days?

@ed, we certainly don't want chip Kelly leaving Oregon. He has us on track for a national. We beef up the defense and we will be there.

LSU might end up playing Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl.
Florida could play Bama for the SHIP.
Bama could still play Oregon for the SHIP.
Notre Dame with a loss this weekend and a Florida loss has a SLIM chance to STILL go to the SHIP if the Voters refuse to drop them past Oregon. (Doubtful considering this would set Eugene Oregon on FIRE!) lol
Too much to calculate...... one more weekend will clear a lot of this up. Outstanding that we still have to WAIT on ONE MORE weekend to nail it all down some.
BTW with the way LSU D has been playing a lot of them might have lost some Draft Stock forcing them to reconsider leaving. We'll see.
Hopefully they take it all out on Arkansas Saturday and show off the for the Draft Watchers/.

Sarah Michelle Gellar loves some lesbian actionFriday, May 28th, 2010
With the surging interest in vampire lore brought in by the glittery presence of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight, people are sure to be rifling through all the hot vampire related chicks on TV and movie history. One such slut is Sarah Michelle Gellar, as Buffy, in the TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Unlike slobbering over the bloodsuckers like dead fish-eyed Bella Swan, Buffy would rather stick a stake through the undead than have their corpsy cocks drilling their pussies. So that leaves Buffy left with nothing to do but polish her silver stake and refill her canister of holy water after vaporizing yet another vampire. Good thing there's sexually curious sister Dawn Summer to fool around with when the fuckin' vamps have gone back to their graves to call it a night. Buffy uses the same bloodstained stake to play with Dawn's pussy and satisfy her increasing likeness in seeing blood by dildoing her sister deeper until she pops her cherry. And from seeing the picture, I think she just did.
It's a good thing, seeing these sisters having a fun time together playing with their pussies with no need for a man, because that means we continue to see Sarah Michelle Gellar engaged in lesbian activities.

Hughson, Chiefs shutout Silvertips
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Chiefs scored early in the first and never looked back as they completed their second consecutive shutout win over the Silvertips 4-0 Tuesday night in front of 3,260 fans at the Spokane Arena. Rookie goaltender Garret Hughson turned away all 22 shots he faced as the Chiefs improved to 9-1-0-0 and 13-6-0-0 overall.
Everett and Spokane found goals tough to come by early on as netminders Hughson and Daniel Cotton held serve in the game's opening stanza. The Silvertips nearly got on the board at the 4:15 mark but Ryan Harrison's shot clanged off the right post after sailing over the shoulder of Hughson.
The Chiefs went on the power play at 10:47 but were turned away by Cotton and nearly allowed a short handed score had it not been for a spectacular sprawling save from Hughson.
Spokane scored the game's first goal at 14:35 as Mikulas Rimmel stole a pass deep in Everett ice, froze Cotton with a great deke, and backhanded the puck in for a score. Rimmel's goal was the only of the period as the Chiefs outshot the Silvertips 16-7.
The second period turned into a stalemate as both teams played bend but don't break defense and Hughson and Cotton continued their mastery between the pipes. The Silvertips threatened to tie the game at the 10:10 mark but Hughson made a full extension pad save with his right leg to turn away a shot from Harrison.
After their subpar offensive performance in the second, the Chiefs used a relentless offensive barrage in the third to put the game away. The scoring started at 7:36 when Liam Stewart rebounded his own shot and fired a pass across the crease to Connor Chartier who found the back of the net.
Spokane's lead stretched to 3-0 just over a minute later as Dylan Walchuk scored a shorthanded goal with an assist from Brenden Kichton. Adam Helewka capped the game's scoring with a top shelf score at 13:27 on assists from Chartier and Jeremy McIntosh.
The Chiefs finished 0 for 6 on the power play and 2 for 2 on the power kill while outshooting Everett 31 to 22.
The Chiefs are home this weekend to wrap up their six game road homestand with matchups against Kamloops on Friday and Portland on Saturday.

Madd Dogg greets Carl Johnson after getting out of rehabilitation
|GTA San Andreas
|The Four Dragons Casino
|Big Poppa
|The Four Dragons Casino, The Strip, Las Venturas
|Vertical Bird
A Home in the Hills is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to Carl Johnson from The Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas.
Kendl, Carl and Wu Zi Mu are inside The Four Dragons Casino in Woozie's office and judging audition. After a while, Madd Dogg appears and tells everyone that he wants to returns to his home in Los Santos which is his mansion. However, it turns out that it's seized and the Los Santos Vagos have taken over the place. Carl furiously questions Madd Dogg's decision and after a while, the scene changes to him and a couple of Triad gang members seen in an Andromada plane, preparing to battle the Vagos as Carl receives a phone call from Kendl.
Kendl says she, Madd Dogg and Cesar Vialpando have gone to San Fierro to see if everything is in place before returning to Los Santos. When the plane reaches its destination, the Triads and Carl all jump out and parachute to the helipad on the roof of Madd Dogg's mansion and finish off everyone of the Vagos on their way before the rest of the team arrive.
Once all the Vagos outside are dead, the team shoot their way inside the mansion and finally find Big Poppa. Carl chases him down through the mansion all the way until they reach the exit where Big Poppa enters his Phoenix and escapes with Carl following him in a pink Windsor. After a chase around the hilly sections of the city, Carl kills Big Poppa and officially takes back the mansion for Madd Dogg.
The reward for completing this mission is increased respect and the mission Vertical Bird is also unlocked. The player can also use Madd Dogg's Crib as a safehouse, but beware of the basketball glitch that can occur.
- Inside the mansion a girl can appear, who has the same pedestrian model as Denise Robinson. Killing her doesn't effect any progress with Denise whatsoever.
- During a short cutscene when the Triads and Carl enter the mansion, a Triad gets beheaded by an SMG gun. During normal gameplay, an SMG can't behead pedestrians.
- Big Poppa's Phoenix is an extremely rare car and can be obtained by the player, despite the fact that the vehicle is locked in the mission. The player can block the Phoenix and kill Big Poppa to complete the mission. The vehicle can then be obtained by pushing it to a Pay 'n' Spray or to a safe house garage.
- Guppy joins you in this mission, and he will guard the balcony. He can die, but if you kill a few Vagos in the hallway, they stop coming, so Guppy doesn't die.
- When inside the mansion, Radio Los Santos is heard.
- Bounce FM, will automatically pop up when the player enters the Windsor.
Guppy and the rest of the Triad team jump out of their plane.
CJ chasing Big Poppa through the streets of Los Santos.
