I am not an energy Rater .. I am an architect
I am curious if any "Home Energy Pros" make an effort to locate the Neutral Pressure Plane (NPP) of a house that is being blower door tested?
Views: 5117
Yes, the same amount of air must be replacing what is exhausting, which is why the fans are programmed to run about 1/3 time.
Can one fan make the entire house negative? Yes, but only if the house is tight enough. Apparently, as I and John Straube have been saying, 2ACH50 is "tight enough".
The day we did the blower door test was 24° outside, and the baseline delta-P was -2.2 Pa at the front door (1st floor), so the 2nd storey ceiling pressure should have been approximately +2.2 Pa or 4.4 Pa total stack effect pressure.
With one bathroom fan running, the manometer delta-P increased to -4 Pa, which should have brought the ceiling pressure to perhaps 0.4 Pa. With both bath fans running, the downstairs delta-P was -8.6.
on the day of the test...what was the temperature inside the house?
Was the woodstove operating?
also... can you explain in more detail the woodstove and...
"a 4" inlet in the first floor for direct-coupled woodstove combustion air"?
I don't know much/anything about woodstoves...
Is your stove and chimney an airtight "system" with respect to the interior of the house?
does the combustion air inlet connect directly into the stove or is there an opening near the stove?
Is there a damper to close off the combustion air when the stove is not being used?
I assume the inside temperature was close to the thermostat setpoint of 68°.
I don't think you can do a blower test with a woodstove running, as -50 Pa is likely to overwhelm the chimney draft (about 42 Pa at 300° flue temperature) and cause backdrafting, even with a supposedly "air-tight" stove.
The new EPA-certified woodstove had an option for direct-coupling of combustion air supply to the firebox of the stove (as a number of them do now), but I don't believe it was connected to the 4" PVC intake pipe under the slab (that terminates in the bottom block of the chimney as an air plenum). The intake duct and cast-iron cleanout door were sealed for the test.
There is no damper in the combustion air system, since normally it would lead directly into the "air-tight" woodstove and be, effectively, a sealed combustion unit, isolated from the interior airspace. There is, however, one of my "patented" inverted U-traps:
The one weakness in this system, with a concrete block chimney (which I believe is far more durable and safe than Metalbestos) is that the cast iron cleanout door is not well sealed and should have a gasket. But it's at the lowest point of the house (most negative stack effect pressure) and the normal chimney draft pressure (at room temperature) would be 8-10 Pa, which would partially balance the house negative pressure.
There's no "reply" button for me on Robert's post with the inverted U-trap photo, but here's a question. I can't tell if you're saying you connected the woodstove to the outside air duct, or not. Also, your post refers to a block chimney but I don't see it. Curious about these details for future reference.
The woodstove was not direct-coupled at the time of the blower door test but was later connected to the air intake in this house.
Here's the air plenum and combustion air duct termination in the base of the block chimney:
In homes which were entirely wood heated (plus passive solar) with no central heating system, and in which the wood stove would be running much of the winter, I have close-coupled the stoves to a nearby floor or wall register which provided outdoor make-up air. This had the advantage of avoiding cold air being drawn in from elsewhere across the floor to the wood stove, thereby creating drafts, and also allowing the woodstove to depressurize the house to act as a non-electric whole house exhaust "fan" and draw fresh air in through the remainder of the air inlets.
Otherwise, fresh air was provided by the intermittent use of bath and kitchen exhaust fans. In one house, I connected a dehumidistat to the bath exhaust fan, and in another there was an indoor composting toilet which had a low-speed fan that drew indoor air over the compost pile and exhausted through the roof, which provided continuous ventilation.
They communicate by Tweet, of course ;-)
where does the other pipe below the chimney go?
Ah! The other mystery pipe?
You can just see it at the bottom plate below the U-trap. I ran two 4" PVC pipes under the slab to the chimney pad, since two 4" pipes are roughly the same cross-sectional area as the 6" flue pipe (equal intake and exhaust).
But, when we got the wood stove, the direct-couple kit had just a 4" round intake connector, so I capped off one of the two pipes at both ends. I guess it makes sense that 4" of cold air can supply 6" of hot, expanded air.
When you create a thermal air trap as shown, how do you calculate the pressure benefits of the trap?
Bud, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "pressure benefits", but I did discuss this somewhat on the previous page.
It's a common practice among HVAC professionals in cold climates, and sometimes called a Saskatoon Loop.
It's similar to the common rule of thumb in roof ventilation that a minimum 3' head between intake and exhaust vents is necessary in order to get any appreciable air flow - but in reverse.
Any negative chimney effect will inhibit cold air back flow into the conditioned space unless there is so much envelope leakage that a strong negative pressure is created at the point of combustion air entry.
This thread has me lost. Dianne is going to have to work on a better way to string these posts.
Anyway, if a vent goes directly through the envelope there is (with temperature and location) a pressure between the inside and outside to move the air. If either inside or outside vent pipe goes up or down, that pressure is altered by the difference in the weight of the air in the pipe vs the air around the pipe. Once I understand where the openings on your inverted loop are, I will be able to estimate what its benefits are.
PS, I have my doubts about the saskatoon loop??

Wayland Baptist University Unveils Centennial Theme, Logo as Planning Underway
PLAINVIEW – Wayland Baptist University has begun planning for their centennial celebration beginning in 2008, unveiling a theme and logo for the event.
Slated to run from August 2008 to August 2009, the celebration will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the university, chartered Aug. 31, 1908, as Wayland Literary and Technical Institute.
A steering committee composed of Wayland faculty, staff and administrators as well as community leaders has developed a theme and a logo to be used for the celebration.
"We're calling the year-long celebration 'Dreams to Reality' because so much of what Wayland is about is turning dreams into realities for so many people," said Betty Donaldson, vice president for institutional advancement and chair of the steering committee. "In particular, Wayland would not be here if it were not for the dreams of Dr. J.H. Wayland to see students on the high plains of Texas have an option for education in a Christian environment.
"We've been about seeing his dream continued by putting education in the reach of many for nearly a century and know the value of higher education," Donaldson added.
The celebration will encompass many traditional Wayland events held annually, including Koinonia freshman orientation, homecoming, graduation ceremonies and fine arts events. Additional events will be planning during the year as well, each with a centennial focus and celebratory flair.
"It's our goal to plan a slate of activities that reaches everyone with ties to Wayland, from our Plainview community neighbors to our alumni and friends, donors, trustees and current students as well," Donaldson said.
Hope English, director of special projects at Wayland, is vice chair of the steering committee and has been excited about being part of the planning process.
"The centennial momentum is already building," she said. "It is easy to get all caught up in the celebration of one man's dream that was driven by his faithfulness to God."
The centennial logo features a scripted "100" and the theme "Dreams to Reality," along with an opaqued version of the Wayland flame used in the university's traditional logo and in marketing pieces. The phrase "Since 1908" falls underneath the name of Wayland Baptist University. The logo was designed by the Office of Communications staff at Wayland.
Other members of the steering committee include Dr. Gary Abercrombie, a Plainview dentist and WBU trustee; Bill Cross, a local CPA; Dr. Greg Feris, chair of the Division of Exercise and Sport Science; Dr. Bobby Hall, vice president for academic and graduate services; Paul Lyle, a retired Plainview attorney; Joe Provence, director of alumni services; Micheal Summers, director of church services; Dr. Dana West, principal at Estacado Junior High; Danny Andrews, editor of the Plainview Daily Herald; Jim Ferrell, director of the Plainview Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Bill Hardage, executive vice president; Dr. Estelle Owens, university historian and chair of the Division of Social Sciences; Jim Smith, Wayland CFO; Phyllis Wall, Plainview I.S.D. board member; Teresa Young, director of communications; Dr. Paul Armes, WBU president; Max Gabriel, local businessman and Wayland trustee; Dr. Claude Lusk, vice president for enrollment management; Jonathan Petty, assistant director of communications; Dr. Ann Stutes, chair of the Division of Fine Arts; and Rodney Watson, director of the Museum of the Llano Estacado.
Subcommittees will be forming soon for planning specific centennial events, with steering committee members serving as chairs of the various committees and other community members, employees and students asked to serve.
Along with the event planning, a centennial history book is underway, with Dr. Estelle Owens spending her spring and summer terms on sabbatical completing research toward the history. Toward that end, the university is soliciting anecdotes, photos and even video or film from alums and community members to be used in historical pieces and centennial promotions.
"There are so many events and milestones in Wayland's history that make us proud to be part of that heritage, but Wayland has always been about its people, and we want to make sure that many people are included in this celebration," said Teresa Young, who is working on the book with Jonathan Petty and Dr. Owens. "We'd love to have those stories about your days at Wayland, from academics to athletics and extracurricular activities. We want to know your favorite memories and what the university has meant to you over the years."
Those interested in sending their anecdotes may send them and any photos they may have by mail to Young in care of Wayland, 1900 West 7th Street, Plainview, Texas 79072. All photos will be scanned and returned promptly. For further information on this project, contact Young at (806) 291-2586.

Hey everyone, :)
Up really late tonight and Just finished this painting which I started about a day ago. I really got inspired to paint it after doing some zombie makeup which I had a lot of fun with. I love Halloween!! :)
It was nice painting something dark for a change since this other painting I have been working on lately (and pretty much most of my work) is very light. I wanted to paint an image that was both sexy and horrifying, (hope I pulled it off).
Overall I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out - I need to paint more dark images, I really enjoyed painting this one!
I hope to have my new website up soon as well. Took a bit longer than expected since I'm now converting it to Wordpress. I've also been working on another new painting which I want to add to the gallery. I hope to have it up in a week or two.
Prints are available HERE
Have a wonderful Halloween everyone and thanks for your visit!! :)

<section begin=summary />An event that occurred after the end of the Third Shinobi World War twelve years before the start of the series.[1] Though many know it to be when Kurama — the Nine-Tails — attacked Konohagakure, only few know what truly occurred and who truly caused the calamity.
The attack of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, coincided with Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' second jinchūriki, giving birth to Naruto on the night of October 10th. During a female jinchūriki's pregnancy, the energy used to maintain the seal has to be redirected to the growing child in her womb — whether consciously done or not. As a result, the seal used on the beast weakens in direct proportion, and as such special preparations have to be made when a female jinchūriki is about to give birth as the seal may break entirely.[2] Having experienced something similar when the previous jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, Mito gave birth, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi took multiple precautions to have the birthing be performed in secret, on the village's outskirts, surrounded by a barrier, with an elite midwife team consisting of his wife Biwako and Taji along with a few ANBU stationed outside as security. Minato would also accompany them in order to keep the seal in check during the process.[3]
== ==
However, the childbirth's location was eventually discovered by Tobi, who learned the information by observing Kakashi at the Konoha Cemetery.[4] Making his way to the site, Tobi killed the ANBU stationed outside and later Biwako and Taji after the child had been born.[5] Holding the newborn Naruto at ransom, he forces Minato to leave the cave via his Flying Thunder God Technique when he sets off the explosive tags he had placed on the newborn's blanket.[6]
Taking advantage of Minato's absence, Tobi forcibly extracted the Nine-Tails from a visibly exhausted Kushina while noting that the Four Symbols Seal also carried the Flying Thunder God Technique seal as a security measure which would enable Minato to teleport to his wife's aid at any time.[7] As the Nine-Tails finally emerged from the seal, Tobi used his Sharingan to gain control of the tailed beast and commands it to destroy Konoha. Kushina who survives the extraction — a feat which Tobi accredits to the famed vitality of the Uzumaki clan — begs Tobi to stop as he orders the Nine-Tails to kill its former host. Minato however arrives in time to save her. The Hokage carried her to his safe-house where he left Kushina with Naruto before heading off to protect Konoha.[8]
Even from a distance, several ninja include a young Itachi Uchiha could sense the disturbance. Tobi successfully sneaked into the village and summoned the Nine-Tails into the village. When Hiruzen felt the Nine-Tails' familiar power and malevolence, he immediately prepared for battle prior to an ANBU arriving to inform him of the Nine-Tails' attack. He ordered every shinobi nearby to prepare to defend the village.[9]
Climax Edit
Minato arrived on top of the Hokage Monument, which the Nine-Tails quickly noticed, and attacked him with the Tailed Beast Ball, but Minato teleported the blast away from the village. Before Minato could tell Hiruzen of what had happened at the birthing location, Tobi teleported to Minato and engaged him, but Minato teleported away from the village. Tobi followed suit, and after analysing his abilities, Minato questioned whether the masked man was Madara Uchiha. Giving no definite answer, Tobi attacked Minato as both use their respective space–time techniques to avoid capture. During the struggle, Minato carefully threw his special kunai at Tobi, which the latter allowed to phase through his head, and just as it did, Minato teleported right above his opponent, and landed a timely Rasengan in his back, severely injuring him.[10]
A bewildered and struggling Tobi tried to escape, but Minato, having placed his Flying Thunder God Technique seal on his body as well after his attack, teleported to his location, and placed another seal on Tobi — releasing the Nine-Tails from his control. Proclaiming that Minato truly deserved his title of Hokage for this feat, Tobi teleported away, promising that the Nine-Tails would once again be his.[11]
Despite no longer being under Tobi's control, now motivated by its own malice towards the village responsible for being sealed in the first place, the Nine-Tails continued its rampage of Konoha. However, it was soon pushed outside of Konoha's premises by the village's shinobi. Hiruzen and other shinobi continued their attack on the beast, trying to push it back further. During this time, a young Iruka Umino was protected from the Nine-Tails by his mother as his father tried to help repel the beast. Ignoring his father's orders to leave, Iruka stayed, determined to protect his mother, but another shinobi soon whisks him away from the battle with his parents dying some time after.[12] The younger generation of shinobi were all detained from the battle, despite their ranks which Kurenai's father explained was because this was an internal issue, not war. They were moved to the outskirts of the village and protected in a barrier.[13]
Minato returned to the village and was mortified at the destruction the beast had caused. Just as the Nine-Tails was about to fire another Tailed Beast Ball at Konoha, Minato summoned Gamabunta to hold off the Nine-Tails for the moment. Minato then managed to teleport himself and the beast away from the village and to his safe-house, letting the blast detonate without any casualties as he was able to retrieve his wife and child before the ball detonated.[14] Kushina, not one to lay there helpless, manifested chains and a barrier to both restrain and contain the Nine-Tails with the intention of resealing the beast within herself with the process killing them both. However, for various reasons including that death would not stop the Nine-Tails, not wanting his wife to die, or leave Konoha without such a valuable war deterrent, Minato decided seal the beast within his son using the Eight Trigrams Seal.[15]
When Hiruzen and a few other shinobi finally caught up to Minato, they found him, Kushina, and Nine-Tails inside of a barrier which they could not enter and had to watch helplessly from the sidelines. Kushina, initially against their son becoming a jinchūriki, pleas with Minato to live and raise Naruto before being convinced that it is for their son's sake as it is for the village's. While Kushina held down the Nine-Tails with her chakra, Minato uses the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal away the Nine-Tails' Yin chakra within himself to weaken the beast — which decreases dramatically in size — before proceeding to beginning the sealing process. Realising Minato's intentions, the Nine-Tails tries to kill Naruto to stop the sealing. However, Naruto's parents stop the Nine-Tails' claw from reaching their son, fatally wounding themselves in the process.[16]
With even less time to spare now, Minato summoned the scroll-toad Gerotora and gave him the key to the seal while Kushina expressed to an infant Naruto how she wanted him to live, to never forget who he was, and how she and Minato loved him. Minato jokingly told Naruto to listen to his talkative mother as he finishes sealing the fox into their son.[17] In the process, as the Nine-Tails curses them for imprisoning it again, Minato also sealed the remainder of his and Kushina's chakra within Naruto to serve as both a final safeguard to prevent the Nine-Tails from totally breaking free,[18] and to assist their son in spirit during any future attempt to take full control of the Nine-Tails' chakra.[19] Template:-
Aftermath Edit
Since the resealing of the Nine-Tails happened far from Konoha, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and the two shinobi that accompanied him, bore witness to Minato and Kushina's sacrifice. Hiruzen subverted all information regarding the relationship between Naruto and Minato to protect him, giving Naruto his mother's surname.[20] With the village having suffered heavy casualties during the attack, only a few of the villagers would come to accept Minato's final wish that Naruto be seen as a hero,[21] while out of fear and hatred the others made no distinction between him and the Nine-Tails itself,[22][23] for the Nine-Tails' actions. This was despite the fact that he was the one containing the beast, preventing it from harming the village.
Because of Minato's untimely death, and having no suitable candidates at hand at the moment, Hiruzen was forced to come out of retirement to retake his position as the current Hokage, despite his age. In later years, as Hiruzen saw the cold treatment of the villagers towards Naruto, he took steps to decree that no mention of Naruto being the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki be spoken with harsh punishment for those who broke the rule.[21][22] However, many of the villagers continued to ostracise Naruto indirectly, by transferring their harboured feelings of dislike for him onto their children, who too shunned him, resulting in Naruto living a lonely childhood with no friends.[24]
Additionally, as the Uchiha clan's Sharingan was known to be capable of controlling the Nine-Tails, the elders of Konoha suspected them of being responsible for the attack, since the majority of the village was completely unaware of Tobi's presence during this time.[25] Several years later, Sasuke would come to learn this story and that his clan, tired of being marginalised by the Senju, had been planning a coup d'état with his father Fugaku at its helm. This, however, never came to pass due to the clan genocide committed by Itachi Uchiha, which triggered the rise of Sasuke's campaign for vengeance on Konoha after being told by Tobi that it was the elders that had ordered it.[26] Driven by inconsolable grief-stricken rage, Sasuke resolved that the village and its people must pay for enjoying the peace gained for what he had lost,[27][28] — despite the facts that he would have most likely lost his life along with his clan and many uninvolved innocents if the Uchiha clan rebellion went through — learning that Hiruzen, someone besides a Uchiha, tried his best to help them but was spurned by the clan and his own advisers and being his protector from Danzō, along with the fact that most people are unaware of what really happened.[29] Also, during the attack, Itachi noted that his parents were noticeably absent from the Uchiha compound.[30] Their whereabouts were and what they were doing is currently unknown.
In the anime, it was revealed that the fox had left behind large residual traces of its chakra during the attack. Taking advantage of this for his own agenda, Kazuma collected and sealed the Nine-Tails' chakra within his own son, Sora, turning him into a pseudo-jinchūriki.[31]
Claims Edit
Though the Nine-Tails had attacked many settlements regularly throughout history for no apparent reason other than those areas being breeding grounds for the darkest aspects of human nature,[32][33] Jiraiya and Itachi Uchiha have speculated that Madara Uchiha was behind the attack on Konoha, citing his previous use of the beast in his legendary battle with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju,[33][34] while Minato and Kushina were personal witnesses to who they thought was the legendary ninja. Tobi even went as far as to call the attack he orchestrated, a "natural occurrence".[35] However, meeting their son in his subconscious, as they met him on the night of the attack, the chakra apparitions of Naruto's parents warned him be wary of the Akatsuki's "masked man" Tobi.[36][37] It was only during Naruto's battle with Tobi in the Fourth Shinobi World War that Kurama, having accepting the current jinchūriki as an equal, reveals that Minato sealed it in Naruto to enable his son to stop Tobi once and for all when the time came.[38]

Location, location, location
I have rapidly discovered that having a good understanding of the proximity of strange place names is essential to interpreting records and deriving theories about potential relationships worthy of further investigation. This page is going to be devoted to some of the key places that feature in my research.
As I track my ancestors through the industrial age I see that their migration has been driven predominantly by the availability of work in the mining and fishing industries. Beyond that they spring from the fields and seem to have moved around at the whim of landowners. It is interesting to see that in the period that is traceable through the census they are rarely in the same place from one headcount to the next. It must have been quite a challenge to "up sticks" and transport a family with a dozen children from one mining village to another at the far end of the county, or beyond. No wonder that the few photos of matriarchs of that period show well worn and rather stern looking women.
Amble, Northumberland, England
The port of Amble is my home town. During my childhood there was a population of a little over 4000 so we knew many of the families living there. The town grew around the harbour with coal transport and fishing among the major industries. Amble had railway links to local collieries to transport the coal to the loading staiths at the harbour. (Referred to as "steeths" in the local dialect.)
My father also grew up in Amble and my mother was raised a couple of miles away in Radcliffe. I grew up thinking that this was where my roots were, so there have been a lot of surprises as my genealogy research has progressed. There was never much discussion during my childhood of previous generations having come from further afield, though I do have vague memories of Stobswood and Choppington having been mentioned. I also remember being told that the Webb line originated in Cornwall, a theory which I have not yet managed to prove.
I visit Amble regularly and in between visits I keep up to date with current day life in the town by reading The Ambler.
Radcliffe, Northumberland, England
The pit village of Radcliffe is where my mother was born and raised. Since my granda Webb was a miner, my grandparents spent most of their married lives in Radcliffe, which is also where he grew up. They left it reluctantly when the village was demolished in 1971 to make way for opencast mining. Even the luxury of having running water in the house after their forced move to Amble was not enough to make my granny accept the change. Families in Radcliffe colliery housing had to carry their water in buckets ("pails") from the other side of the street and perform their ablutions in a tin bath in front of the living room fire. The toilet ("netty") was also across the road. This was an earth closet with an open midden. I still remember the smell and the weekly visits of the midden man who came to shovel out the contents. The distance between Amble and Radcliffe was less than a mile, so in the days of our childhood my best friend and I used to hop on our bikes and ride off together to visit our respective grandparents in Radcliffe. An activity that would never be allowed in this day and age. Some of my Crackett, Tweddle, Smith, Gair and Smailes relatives have also lived in Radcliffe.
Shoreswood, Northumberland, England
One of the first ancestral birth certificates I acquired was for my great grandfather Leonard Cracket born in 1847 at the New Winning, Shoreswood, Northumberland. He is the patriarch in the family picture in the banner of my blog. I did not need to use the GRO to acquire this certificate as a cousin of my father still held the original documents for their grandparents. Shoreswood was clearly a mining community in the mid 1800s, and for the rest of his life each move for great granda Len was to another mining community in the county. Although it is only 40 miles from Amble I was not familiar with Shoreswood, so one of my first exploratory adventures in 2010 was to go and take a look. Today there are just a handful of houses, some of which may well have been the original buildings.
Among other places that I plan to write a short paragraph on the location and my connections are: (listed in no particular order)

Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology
The Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) program prepares students for the general practice of professional clinical psychology with a particular focus on socially responsible practice that includes education and training regarding the broader social and systemic factors that contribute to human dysfunction.
Our Psy.D. program aligns with the scholar-practitioner model of training and education developed by the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology to develop knowledge, skills, and values in seven core competency areas: relationship, assessment, intervention, research and evaluation, consultation and education, management and supervision, and individual and cultural diversity.
The Vancouver campus program curriculum parallels the Chicago campus Psy.D. curriculum that has received accreditation from the American Psychological Association. The program curriculum has been specially designed to meet the curricular requirements of most provincial and state licensing and registration bodies.Graduates of the parallel Chicago campus Psy.D. program have registered as Psychologists in Canada and the United States.Applicants are encouraged to consult the registration requirements of the jurisdiction in which they hope to become licensed or registered to verify that the program meets their specific jurisdiction's requirements.
The program is structured for completion in five years of full-time study, which includes a full year internship. Generally, students will spend four years in coursework and practicum experience, followed by a one-year (full-time) internship.
Training: Practica and Internship
The program requires 1500 hours of clinical practicum experience with appropriate supervision from credentialed supervisors and group supervision by School faculty. After completing all coursework, practicum training experiences and clinical qualifying examinations, students will be required to complete a 1600 hour Internship at a site approved by the school.In addition, the program requires a 150 hour Community Service Practicum, taken during the first year of study, that provides students with experiential learning on issues of diversity and social justice as they relate to individual and community mental health and well-being.
Research Training and the Doctoral Research Project
The doctoral research project requires students to design, implement and prepare a comprehensive report on a research study examining a clinical issue relevant to the practice of clinical psychology.The doctoral research project is designed to contribute to a student's knowledge, skills, and expertise in scholarship and its importance to the science and practice of professional psychology.The doctoral research project serves as an important capstone requirement for cumulative, sequential learning in research methodologies and evaluating the ability to integrate research and practice.
Applicants to the program must have the following:
• An honors baccalaureate degree in psychology or the equivalent from an accredited institution. Equivalency means at least 60 credits of coursework in psychology.
• A GPA of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all undergraduate or graduate coursework.
• Completed senior courses in statistics, research methods, neuroscience, cognition, abnormal psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, tests and measurement theory, personality and learning.
• Practicum or work experience in psychology or a related field is highly desirable and is considered in the evaluation of applicants.
• Submission of the Graduate Records Exam general score.
• Approved applicants will be evaluated through an in-person writing sample and interview as the final step in the application process.
Students accepted for admission with an M.A. from the Adler School may be granted transfer credit for graduate level courses that overlap with the Psy.D. curriculum. Students accepted that have previously taken graduate-level coursework at another accredited institution will also be considered for transfer credit.
For these students, a maximum of (24) semester credits may be transferred into the Psy.D. program. The Adler School does not grant credit for any curriculum requirements based on prior learning assessment.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A female police sergeant shot and killed a U.S. civilian adviser at police headquarters in Kabul on Monday, Afghan police officials said, breaking a relative lull in the so-called insider killings that have strained the relationship between Americans and Afghans here.
The American victim was identified as Joseph Griffin, 49, of Mansfield, Ga., who had worked for DynCorp International as a police trainer since July 2011, according to a DynCorp spokeswoman, Ashley Burke.
Afghan officials identified the shooting suspect as a woman named Nargis, a 33-year-old sergeant in the national police force who worked in the Interior Ministry's legal and gender equality department, and whose husband is also a member of the police force.
A person at Kabul police headquarters, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information, said the attacker had shot the U.S. adviser in the head at close range with a pistol and then was immediately arrested by other Afghan police officers.
Police said they did not believe the attack was related to terrorism and that the suspect had no known connections with insurgents.
The Afghan news station TOLO cited Afghan officials as saying that the woman, who had crossed multiple police checkpoints before she fired her gun, had graduated from the national police academy in 2008.
The effort to recruit and train female police officers has been fraught with difficulty. EUPOL, the European police organization active in police training here, says there are only 380 female police officers in Kabul, and even fewer in the provinces.
Insider attacks, in which members of the Afghan security services have turned against their foreign allies, have greatly increased in the past year, with 61 U.S. and other coalition members killed, not including the episode Monday, compared with 35 deaths the previous year, according to NATO figures.
Monday's attack — the first insider attack known to be committed by a woman — came after a lull in insider shootings.

I would like to hire an Engineer
Budget $750-1500 USD
I'm looking to turn a former bank location into a coffee shop. I want to develop a way to use the existing bank drive thru chutes (that would deliver cash/checks, etc.) to deliver coffee cups instead. Or to create a similar system used in banks/pharmacy drive-thrus to deliver coffee to customers without turning the cup. This would allow for servicing multiple "windows" at once.
Our timeline for this project is rather short, say about 2 months turnaround, though that may change without warning.

Kindergarten Journals: Part 1
I had a bit of a sad trip to Connecticut this past weekend. My parents, you see, have sold my childhood home to a man with the last name "Wiener" and it's my job to pretend to be okay with that. My father is so emotional about the sale, that the mere sight of a footlong hotdog will bring him close to tears. So I've been acting as my dad's emotional rock. In other words, I've been telling lots and lots of wiener jokes.
While I was sadly sorting through a stack of boxes in the attic on Saturday, my mood was quickly lightened when I found a stack of childhood journals that I referred to in a post a couple of days ago. They were even more risque and fabulous than I had previously remembered.
I'm happy to say that there is no shortage of my 5-year-old nudie drawings, so I'll spread them out over the next few weeks.
And now, without further delay, I present you with solid evidence that I haven't changed much since 1985.
Exhibit A:
This is a drawing of my friend Judy. According to the caption, she is naked in her Halloween costume. Judy's parents must have been on a budget that year.
Exhibit B:
This drawing is a little more difficult to make out, as it incorporates crayon and pencil illustration. The caption reads, "The lady is going to have a baby and she's crying. She's naked. She's crying." For a five-year-old, I'd say I summed up childbirth pretty well.
On the left side of the page you can see a OB/GYN happily reaching above the cabinets for a pot of boiling water. On the right side of the page you'll find the patient: a sad woman in labor, with a rockin' set of purple tee-tees.
In the last twenty years, I have switched from paper to the computer, but other than that, my journalistic style has never ever wavered.

I'm glad you mentioned that the ta-tas of the naked crying lady were purple, as I initially mistook the brown saggy appendages (her arms, maybe?) as said ta-tas. And they were looking somewhat less than perky.

On the topic of budget Halloween costumes, I remember the year my mom was too sick to make me a costume and when good ol' dad was reminded Oct. 31st that I wanted to be Wonder Woman, he put me in my red swim suit and Barbie tiara and sent me out into the cold with a neighbor kid and parent. Shortest trick or treating ever. I bet Wonder Woman never had frozen ta-tas.....

Hiya kiddos!
Remember me? The person who writes this blog?
You know those times when you plan to do something in an hour, but you look up and it's a week later? That's what has been happening to me lately in the realm of yummy blog posts. I'll cook something on the weekend, take tons of photos, and all of a sudden it's Monday and I have to do responsible things like get an education, have a job, be a functioning member of society, blah, blah, blah. So then it happens that my hard drive gets full of cute pictures and tasty recipes that take forever to see the light of day, which is no way to run a blog.
So, even though I'm surrounded by "important" things like homework and tests, I wanted to leave you with a delicious recipe to tide you over for a few days until I can put together a real post.
Fun fact: I just spelled "important" as "importante" because I finished taking a Spanish for Business test about two minutes ago. We've been learning about la estructura de empresas, la gerencia, la Administración por Objetivos, y los diferentes estilos de gerencia entre los paises hispanohablantes y norteamericanos.
I'm only showing off because I think I did well on the test.
Watch me end up getting a 60%.
Anyway, this soup/noodly business is so full of yum that I can't hardly stand it. There's coconut milk, which is undoubtedly one of the top ten greatest ingredients ever. There's pretty pops of orange carrots and green onions. There's noodles. There's curry powder. There's shrimp.
Sound good? Give it a try. My family inhaled this in about five minutes flat.
Shrimp and Coconut Soup
Recipe adapted from "Coconut Shrimp Soup" from Great Food Fast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated, peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
6-8 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon curry powder, to taste
1 13.5-ounce can coconut milk
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 ounces angel hair pasta
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring until fragrant, but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the carrots, curry powder, coconut milk, 3 cups water, stirring to combine.
In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons water with the cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Add to the soup and bring to a boil.
Break the pasta in half and add to the pot. Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until the pasta is al dente and the carrots are tender, about 4 minutes.
Add the shrimp, cooking until opaque, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and stir in lime juice, green onions, as well as salt, to taste. Check seasonings and adjust pepper flakes and curry powder, to taste (for instance, I like oodles of both). Serve warm.

Karazhan Fatigue and the Zul'Aman Timer
Karazhan was the first raiding instance of TBC. It's the one we've been doing the longest. It's a good instance, but still, veni, vidi, vici. It's way past time to let Karazhan go. Yet it is the single best source of Badges of Justice in the game. One evening nets you about 22 Badges. And so we run Kara on our mains for Badges, we run Kara on our alts for Badges, and so a lot of us are pretty sick of running Karazhan.
Zul'Aman had potential as a replacement for Karazhan, but ZA is on a three-day timer. This means that the rewards from ZA are balanced around being about to do the instance twice in one week. ZA nets you 13 Badges for one evening of work. This means that you should always hit Karazhan for Badges first, and ZA is your second choice.
I've stated my opposition to short timers before, but that was mostly on scheduling concerns. But the distribution of loot is also a concern.
A newer, harder instance should be more attractive to players than the older instance. If you can clear ZA, you should choose to clear ZA over Karazhan. No 25-man chooses to farm Serpentshrine Cavern over the Black Temple.
Imagine if ZA was on a 7-day timer, and the loot was balanced appropriately. Now one evening would net you 26 badges. You'd get 2 higher quality epics per boss. And there would be a chance at a couple of Bear Mounts. If you could do ZA, you would choose to do it over Karazhan. It's harder, but it's also strictly better in terms of rewards.
The higher end raiders would most likely drop Karazhan completely, and move on to fresher content. Smaller guilds would have greater incentive to master ZA. In my opinion, putting a 3-day timer on ZA was a mistake. It has caused us to linger for too long in Karazhan, and the resulting Karazhan fatigue is an toxic element in the state of endgame.

Depending on your personal itemization, Karazhan can be more worthwhile to go to than Mount Hyjal in 2.4.ReplyDelete
- Lovelace / Vek'Nilash EU1:38 AM, March 25, 2008
It should be worth to mention that ZA is much harder than Kara and isn't easily done with alts and the last bosses actually requires you to concentrate. I dont know about you but when we do Karazhan we talk crap on TS, have a good time, drink some beer and at the same time get 22 badges. If we would do ZA we wouldnt be able to talk as much trash, drink as much beer or bring as many alts as we do to Kara, its not really about the amount of badges in there.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3:54 AM, March 25, 2008
Most serious raiders dont even bother with ZA unless it's just a "fun" run. Kinda like those nights you get 7 people together and run ZG. On our server no one has the bear mount simply because no one cares. Face it our main bear tank wont even step foot in there because it's a waste of his time - no loot/no badges!ReplyDelete
Have to disagree a little here, ZA being on a 3 day reset timer is great, it means you can learn the bosses fast, and down them well. If anything what I would like is someway to set 10 man instances to Heroic mode, and an option once cleared to reduce the reset time (so say clearing Karazhan fully gives you the option to reset it 1 extra time / week).ReplyDelete
Its annoying being able to clear an instance in a night, and not being able to reset it, ok the 25mans on a full week rotation, but the 10 mans tend to be smaller and more dynamic meaning a shorter reset is much more fun from my pov at least.
- Anonymous6:10 AM, March 25, 2008
I think they balanced ZA on a 3 day timer so that guilds who want to focus only on 10 mans (small family/friend circles who want to keep it simple to some fast 10mans and pvp) can have more action. With ZA on 3 day reset, with karazhan, they can do about 3-4 days of scheduled raids as opposed to only 2.ReplyDelete
Well, this is probably so far away from my raiding experience as possible. I have a hard time to schedule raiding Kara once a month...ReplyDelete
Well, on to my point: I've got the feel that many have and will always do the easiest road to rewards. We've all read the discussions about the hardships to get a raiding guild to do new content - but farming content is crowded. The same with heroics. Places with max badges drop is (was) easier to get a PUG for than harder ones with less badges.
I reckon the same may happen here.
Well - just a thought...
Actually, I think that "Kara fatigue" is just one facet of overall "WoW + TBC fatigue".ReplyDelete
Blizzard has pulled off making a moving-target hardcore gear chase look like any casual could do it!
The expansion is over a year old, and there have been few patched additions to the WoW 1-60 content in these 14 months (only the Duskwallow Marsh content comes to mind).
There is a limit to how many BGs even I, a rather tolerant grinder, can stand. I can't bring myself to set foot in a BG right now. Just not interested.
Arena is IMO very, very limited, too. It seems to me that it's really difficult to improve because of the speed plus lack of feedback, and that I'd guess that most of us are pretty much clueless as to how gear vs. class vs. skill really adds up.
And while Kara is definitely a neat place, I truly got my fill of it after about 5 runs, and don't care to grind it for the sake of loot.
The endgame 'incentives' have degenerated into loot chases.
For raiders, Kara badge grinding.
For PvP, BG and Arena grinding.
For gold, daily quest grinding.
And in a way it's been disheartening to watch TBC gear inflation; such as the offering of level-70 PvP blues that cost a ton of honor at TBC release now sold for a pittance by PvE faction vendors.
But it won't be long now and a brand new 70 will be on a par with a year-long+ 70 who ground Kara/BGs/Arena, when WotLK resets the playing field and your level-80 toon finds that level-70 epics are just bank clutter!
- Anonymous11:41 AM, March 26, 2008
I don't understand how the problem with ZA is the 3 day reset; are you saying that if they had done it on a 7-day timer, they would have thrown in more bosses and better loot? I'm not sure there's any reason to think that.ReplyDelete
I like the 3 day reset because of the increased ability to farm the place. I don't think I really like the way the timed chest loot works, but I think to a large degree ZA is a novelty/one-off instance for Blizzard. They wanted to bring back some old designs (timed runs, troll instance, etc.) and also fill some gear holes for certain specs.
In a lot of ways, I think ZA was a design experiment for Blizzard and an attempt at variety. I don't like it as much as Kara, but I think it's cool that it's a little different than the average instance.
Here's hoping that WotLK has more 10-mans than 25s.
I Think the 3 day ZA time is great! It allowed my guild to gear up the new recruits very quickly and be ready for the Black Temple content much faster. We could obtain 1-2 decent healing pieces each week per person that are better than the Karazhan loot in plus healing and stamina. (The Tanks and DPS also got interesting gear and weapons that are a step above Karazhan loot as well.) In Black temple, there are several fights where healers should have over 10k hit points or as close to that as possible. The ZA gear helped out in that regard until BT loot could be distributed to replace the ZA gear. Of course BT is only on a one week timer and loot from it is harder to accumulate, but BT is also not a one night instance for us yet. We first completed it in 3 nights, this week we should be done in only 2 nights. (one night = 4 hours). I don't think anyone in our guild has set foot back into Karazhan except for strickly badges or to gear up an alt since ZA has come along. For the Bear mount runs, ZA is run timed, and the timer expires in about a 45 minute time period, so we will only spend about an hour in ZA that night and get down the first 4 bosses. (Bear/Eagle/Dragonhawk/Tiger). We then decide if we feel like getting the last boss or not because he is usually not an easy one shot boss.. That is still a far more efficient use of time than Karazhan which takes several hours but is laid back and not as serious.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:30 PM, March 29, 2008
ZA and Kara are not there so that BT guilds can farm badges.ReplyDelete
They are intended to be there so that low level guilds can get their starter raiding gear. The badges were placed there as a bonus for the BT guilds.
The issue of badges for those guilds has already been addressed by making the 25 man bosses also drop badges. Now the high level guilds can get their badges just by clearing high level instances.
Indeed, but I'm saying that even for a BT guild, Karazhan and Zul'Aman are more worthwhile to go to than Eye/SSC. The problem is that every normal boss drops 2 badges, regardless of difficulty. Azgalor, the second-to-last boss in Hyjal drops 2 badges, the exact same amount as Moroes, the second boss in Karazhan. Karazhan has more bosses than Hyjal, SSC or the Eye, so Karazhan wins.ReplyDelete
Whether you like it or not, BT guilds do go to Karazhan and ZA for badges, because that's the smart thing to do right now. 11 badges/hour is just too lucrative to skip.
Even though our guild clears Kara in two hours, I like ZA more - it's more challenging, it resets twice a week and it shows whether people can play their character class or not. It's good recruiting grounds, then, too. ;) And I like the whole troll/Indiana Jones atmosphere. And two ZAs cleared give you 26 badges compared to Kara's 22.ReplyDelete
ZA was built to be completed in one hour or less. It also actually gives you *more* badges in the same amount of time. In a 3-week period, we have seven resets of ZA for three of Kara. That gives a total of 91 badges vs. 66 from Kara.ReplyDelete
Zul'Aman is also harder than Karazhan, so it's appropiate that it's more lucrative to go to than Karazhan. However, Mount Hyjal is harder (at least gear-wise) than Zul'Aman, and it nets you 33 badges over 3 weeks. Black Temple rates at 57 badges over 3 weeks. The amount of bosses should not be the only deciding factor in the number of badges that you get from an instance.ReplyDelete
The only thing that brought me back to Karazhan was playing an alt in a new role.ReplyDelete
I really feel bad for anyone who wants badges but thought they had put Karazhan long behind them.
Yeah i'm sick of Kara as well. I've spent probably the past 6 months there? Maybe 5, anyway, a long time. Now we have it on farm, but guess what, we still need to dedicate a day to it to just farm badges. I'm very close to getting my hunter xbow, and we'll see if i ever step foot in that stinking place again.ReplyDelete

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Tuesday, May 30, 2006
Alex Toth (1928 - 2006)
For those unfamiliar with the artist and his work and why he was so important, I recommend reading this excellent tribute.
Toth did relatively little illustration outside of the comics and animation industries, though he could have stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Noel Sickles and Austin Briggs, both of whom had their roots in cartooning.
You can see some examples of Toth's rare book illustrations here.
7 comments:
I am truly BUMMEDReplyDelete
IMHO.....One of the best illustrators of our time.
Godspeed Alex.
I am so sorry to hear about this. Toth was a great comic artist. I didn't love everything he did (for a fun time, read Harvey Kurtzman's recollections of his clashes with Toth over the quality of Toth's artwork for EC war comics-- two strong personalities, each one absolutely convinced he was right)but the man sure could draw and I thought his work for the Warren magazines in the 60s and 70s was especially strong.ReplyDelete
Mostly I think of Toth as a man of great uncompromising principle. He had an artistic conscience stronger than anyone else's in the business. When he couldn't satisfy himself, he wouldn't turn in the job. You pay a lot for having high standards-- the friction wears away at you day after day in the money you don't make, the people you alienate, the jobs you don't get. You need to be replenished from within to survive that kind of a life. To his credit, Toth was.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Leif. A man like this should not pass by unnoticed.
- Bob Cosgrove7:40 PM
I enjoy this site so much that I hate to say anything even mildly critical (but with that intro, you know I'm about to anyhow)--I'm not sure where your illustration appeared, but it seems far removed from Toth at his best--in fact, it looks like Toth inked by a weak inker. Kudos, I guess, for showing me some Toth I hadn't seen before--but for a memorial header, I'd have liked a stronger offering, even if a common one.ReplyDelete
No offense taken, bob - and I'm very glad you enjoy the blog. Perhaps you'll understand better if I explain the choice in greater detail...ReplyDelete
This is the one piece of original art by Toth that I own. I have it framed and hanging above my desk so I can look up from my work at any time for a burst of inspiration.
Though at first glance it doesn't look like much, it has some really lovely bits. I encourage you to go to my Flickr set and click on its "All sizes" tab. The third panel is especially nice but the scene in the window in the last panel is also really great.
It was not very expensive. It was listed as being inked by Vinnie Colletta (not an inker I'm ever glad to see on just about anybody), but after reading a Dick Giordano article somewhere... I forget (in CBA?) and seeing another page from the same story, I was delighted to discover I owned a Toth page inked by a very good inker!
It may not be the most exceptional work Toth ever did but it has special meaning for me and so I felt it would be most appropriate to share it at this time with the TI readers.
- Bob Cosgrove3:14 PM
Whoops. Open mouth, insert foot. Well, there's no such thing as bad Toth--just good Toth you like to one degree or another. Thank you for sharing a piece from your collection, and congratulations to you on the purchase. If I'm not sounding too absurd, I've often thought that Dick Giordano's work (which I admire) looks a bit like "good Colletta." The inking of the bottom panel looked like Dick's to me, while some of the faces earlier on seemed more like Vince, leaving me to fudge it in my initial comment. I'll take a closer look, and thanks for your enlightening, and temperate reply.ReplyDelete
Ha - no problem at all, bob. You were correct in your initial assessment that this is not top-notch Toth.ReplyDelete
Also, I would welcome more critical discussion/debate here so please always feel free to shoot from the hip.

Fall 2014
The fall 2014 collection theme reflects its naïve and youthful direction, the positive spirit of the innocent in the face of a gloomy environment. The young glorify the end of the world, as destruction is a chance for change and revolution!
The opposing youth are eager for change, and the conflict between the playful and serious has been an inspiration for the prints as well as the denim and collection. Raw, heavy denim and inverted denim are prominent throughout the collection. Texture is important with crinkled jersey, fleece, leatherette, pleated chiffon and jersey as well as clear sequins on knits, flannel, denim and jersey. The shapes are straight and organic with rounded shoulders and funnel- necks. There is a clean seriousness to the look with more sombre colours. Clashing with the solemn feel we play with a crazy crisp print with a matching gold crisp jewellery kit, playful fabrics such as faux fur, velvet, reflective fabric, fluffy knits and sparkly effects. A faux knot detail is used to shape the garments on denim dresses, blouses, jersey and sweat. A knotted reflective backpack and puffer bags to match the collection. The rough, smudgy and random versus the clean and crisp play an important role for the denim as well, where greys and blueblacks, rips and bleach clash with constructed crisp twills and square shapes on white coatings. A new mid-rise skinny fit is introduced in "Prime", as well as a new denim jacket "ikon".

Tangy by Zoya can be best described as a bright apple green shimmer with peachy-orange duochrome.Fun and funky yet easy to wear.
Finish - Metallic
Intensity - 4 (1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque)
Tone - Cool
For Best Results
Step 1: Clean the nail plate with Remove Plus ( Remove ) nail polish remover and nail plate cleaner
Step 2: Choose and apply the right base coat: Zoya Anchor for regular healthy nails or Zoya GetEven for nails with ridges
Step 3: Apply 2 coats of your favorite Zoya Nail Polish Color
Step 4: Apply a coat of Zoya Armor Top Coat
Step 5: Drop one drop of Zoya Fast Drops to the base of your nail bed
Following these 5 steps guarantees up to 14 days of wear on natural nails.
I recently wore this for vacation and wasn`t sure how I would like it. It went on easy. No chips for a full 5 days which is a long time for me as I`m hard on polish. It looked really nice and not overly bright.
This polish is a wonderful color. The warm yellow-green is fantastic and I absolutely love the peachy-orange overtones. I bought this several years ago and had forgotten how much I like it. Will buy another now and hope that this color is not discontinued anytime soon.
BY the way, Tangy is absolutely perfect for warm tanned or brown skin tones.
The orange duochrome is very faint, I wish it were a little more prevalent (which is why I am giving this color a 4). Fun, citrusy green with a nice shimmer.
I agree w/ a previous reviewer, it`s very sheer. I would like it more if it weren`t as sheer. I wear it over other colors and so I`m still glad I purchased it.
This green has too much of a yellow undertone to it. I couldn`t wait to take it off.
This nail polish is sheer. Im not sure why it is rated a 4. It is a nice color but too much gold for what I was looking for. Needs about 3-4 to be opaque. Very shimmery.
I liked the bright almost neon green color of this polish, very shimmery with gold flecks in it. Its great for spring.

Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - Rudy and Ludvig - FULL CONTACT
Rudy and Ludvig - FULL CONTACT
Ludvig Hofta is in his office, on the telephone when Rudy Bodlak arrives. He is invited to sit down until the call is ended. Then Ludvig checks some results that Rudy has brought with him, and they seem so good they the guys need to celebrate. Ludvig comes out from behind his desk and sits on the front, by Rudy. He takes his hand and pulls him forward so that they can kiss. Ludvig then begins to undress Rudy, kissing his chest and working down to an already hard cock. He sucks on Rudy's cock , showing that he is an expert sucker. He spits on the cock and wanks it too, between bouts of hot sucking. Ludvig pulls his own cock and wanking it hard while his mouth is on Rudy's dick. Then Ludbig's shirt comes off and his pants open, so he can stand and have Rudy suck on him. Rudy's lips close around that big, hard cock head and sucks hard and fast. He really sucks on that dick, kissing sometimes, and then sucks the balls into his mouth as well, letting them pop out. Rudy is loving that cock and balls, and really goes to town on his sucking. Ludvig then goes back down on Rudy. He is on his knees and we see a real sexy ass view as Rudy's cock get the full attention. Ludvig reaches back and feels his ass as he sucks and then they stand and he wanks both their cocks together as they kiss. Ludvig then turns and presents his ass to Rudy. He wanks himself as Rudy feels that ass, spanking it a few times, and shoving a finger deep in the whole. Rudy's dick is rock hard and throbbing as he fingers Ludvigs hole. He goes down and starts to rim that hot ass as he wanks on Ludvig's cock too. HIs tongue pokes into that hole before some more fingering to really loosen it up. Then Rudy stands and slams is big, hard cock deep into Ludvigs eagerly waiting hole. He fucks him nice and fast, his cock going deep with each thrust. Ludvig moans in pleasure as he looks back at the thrusting Rudy. He really knows how to take cock and Rudy is giving it to him real good. A belt round Ludvigs neck helps Rudy pull himself into that ass. He pumps himself into that hole with as much gusto as he can before Ludvig lays on the desk with his legs up and spread for more. Rudy's dick is so hard as he starts to fuck again. The desk creaks a lot as Rudy fucks Ludvigs ass, his cock going all the way in, stretching his willing hole. Rudy is so turned on and wants some cock himself, so he pulls out and sits his own ass down on Ludvigs dick. He holds himself in place as Ludvigs fucks him as hard as he can, then he begins to ride that cock. They really go at it and moan as they enjoy each other. Ludvigs moaning gets louder and faster and he pulls out and shoots a creamy load all over Rudy's chest. Rudy sucks on that sticky dick to clean it off. Then he leans back and delivers his cum to Ludvig's open mouth. Ludvig sucks on that spent cock and then kisses Rudy to end a very good scene indeed.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Rado Smutny, Mattias Soslich, Anton Malac, Mirek Hodbod and Patrik Lukasz make a fabulous line-up for our latest Wank Party. We join the five of them as they are at the beach enjoying a leisurely game of volleyball. All are naked as they play, Mattias and Rado against Patrik, Mirek and Anton. They aren't taking the game too seriously and, after a while, they leave it and have a little play on a roundabout. As they spin round and round the camera is at groin level and we see the cock and balls of each guy going through the frame. Then they climb onto the roundabout and their asses are in full view. Next it is time to get into the lake, and the 5 guys run down to the water, dicks flapping around as they do. They swim out a bit, into the lake and begin to play with Mattias and Rado lifting the others, in turn, and tossing them as far as they can into the water. Having enjoyed themselves for long enough with their play they move inside to continue the fun. Mattias takes charge and begins to train the guys. firstly making them bend over to touch their toes. Mattias spanks each of them on the ass in turn and tells them to get naked. They do as they are told and bend over again, with those beautiful asses in full view. When they stand up, as ordered, and turn around each of them is fully erect. Mattias walks along the line, inspecting the hard cocks and then stands in the middle of the line to have his shorts removed too. He is rock hard too and Anton wastes no time in dropping to his knees and sucking on Mattias cock. Rado and Mirek lean over and begins to kiss Mattias' nipples. Rado then begins to kiss Mattias as Patrik takes over the sucking from Anton. Anton wants cock though and, after kissing Rado begins to suck him. Mirek takes over sucking from Patrik, sucking and licking Mattias thick, hard cock. Mattias wants to taste dick too and as Mirek comes of his cock he goes down on Rado's big one. Then he sucks Anton as well while Patrik is working on Mirek's dick. Rado drops to his knees, joining Mattias, and he begins to suck Anton. Mattias wanks himself and Rado, with Mirek now sucking on Patrik's cock. Mattias takes over from Rado, on Anton's cock and Rado gets lower to suck on him too. All the guys have big, hard erections and change again, so that Mattias gets a taste of Mirek's big cock while Anton sucks on Patrik. Rado moves to allow Anton access to a second cock to suck, which he eagerly accepts into his mouth. Mattias loves that big dick of Mirek, his lips close tight around it, sucking hard as he wanks himself. Patrik and Rado go down on their knees to enjoy Anton for a while, with Rado slapping on Patrik's hot ass. Anton moves over to join Mattias in sucking Mirek while Patrik has Rado's massive cock all to himself. Rado then sucks Patrik, in return, deep throating his cock. Mattias moves over to join them and Patrik is quick to begin sucking him as Mirek takes a turn on Anton's dick. These guys really enjoy cock and make sure they all get to suck each other. With Rado now sucking Mirek and Anton and Mattias chowing down on Patrik. Things are really hotting up now and it can't be long before they want to take things even further. But first they want to make sure that everyone has sucked as much as they want. Mattias lays back on the sofa enjoying the feel of Rado and Mirek sucking him hard, while Anton is working on Patrik, his lips clasped so tight around that thorbbing cock. Mattias is the first to break, he is keen to go further, and lifts his legs in the air, exposing his hole. Rado eagerly starts to lap at that hole, his tongue dipping inside. Patrik picks up on the idea and has Anton on his knees, ass pushed back so that he can rim his hot hole too. That is where we leave the guys for the time being, with everyone horned up and wanting more.

We have a new addition to our family. Luci, our office secretary, has a new female Jack Daniels puppy. She's about six weeks old. (Miro always tries to correct me saying, "Jack Daniels is Franky. Jack Russell is dog"). 'Jackie' is a cute little girl. Instead of exhibiting her usual jealousy, Aida likes the little one, and is kind of sort of acting like a mother. Aida greatly prefers other girl dogs because they don't try to do vile things to her like male dogs do. I'm going to enjoy this. Jackie is the first office dog that Aida has even tolerated. Hopefully, they'll become great pals.
I see the first part of our July Wank Party is coming up Friday. So, I'd better speed up my publications of First Looks. I sent the Mad Monk to the location at a nearby nude beach and he came back with some very nice footage. Below is the first teaser.
The response to part one of the Garage shoot was great, so I am sure Part 2, with Rudy Bodlak, Anton Malac and David Kadera will be well received. We also have a flip-flop with Rudy today, partnered by Ludvig Hofta. That is followed by the stunning Adam Toula's erotic video, and by Olda Labut's session stills.
Our castings today are Egon Kubalek, Petr Stentek, Mirek Hodbod and Daniel Vican. It is a difficult choice today, between Mirek and Egon. Mirek already was the subject of Streethunting, but Egon was rock hard when his undies came off in his casting, which I think just gives him the edge.
