As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on April 9, 2014
H.R. 503 would authorize a nonprofit organization to establish a commemorative work on federal lands in the District of Columbia. Enacting the legislation would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that the net effect on the budget would not be significant in any year. Enacting H.R. 503 would not affect revenues.
The legislation would authorize the National Desert Storm Memorial Association to establish a memorial to honor members of the armed forces who participated in Operation Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield. The memorial project, which would be completed without the use of federal funds, would be subject to the requirements of the Commemorative Works Act. Under that act, any entity that receives a permit to construct a memorial in the District of Columbia or its environs must donate to the National Park Foundation (a nonprofit organization) an amount equal to 10 percent of the memorial's estimated construction cost. That amount, as well as any project funds remaining after construction of the memorial, would be available in future years for maintenance of the memorial.
Based on the experience of similar commemorative projects, CBO expects that any amounts collected by the federal government would not be received for several years and would be offset by a transfer to the National Park Foundation (a nonfederal entity) soon thereafter.
H.R. 503 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not impose a cost on state, local, or tribal governments.
On January 24, 2014, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 995, the National Desert Storm and Desert Shield War Memorial Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on November 21, 2013. The two bills are similar and the CBO cost estimates are the same.

George looks like my dad in cartoon form. What you've done is pure mind candy.
Well, Kali did it.
Kali is good,I like her drawings and this painting thing is great.nice work on the crazy ultimate fighting comic. is spumco going to ever reopen? i just got the new mighty mouse dvd and look forward to seeing the new cartoons youre working on.
That's amazing.
Hey John, are you ready to get angry? Like, really angry?
He looks quite handsome, love the colors. Hooray for Kali!
Jordan, that news about Speedy Gonzales shows you how much this industry needs to change. I miss the good old days.
these make great pieces of art, a painting and natural border in one!
Hey John, I've been reading your blog over and have been very inspired by your art. Especially your $100,000 lessons with Preston Blair, and I was wondering if I could get comments.
I hope you like what you see, and the second page will be up soon.
That's beautiful. Kali's such a heroine. She should manufacture her talent via syringe injection.
"It's better than bad, it's good!"
Sometimes life throws a curve. Imitate it with art.
Now that's manly.
Speaking of good design on the last couple of posts, this Woody cartoon's got some of the best designs of all time, sad that it's become so hard to find:
Thanks guys! <3
It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a log! You're gonna love it, Log!
Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log!"
i wonder why nobody wrote this before:)
Man, that Kali makes some great stuff. I bought one of her Devo girl prints and it rocks. Wish I could afford this.
This made me think of you when I found it. Check out the expressions on these figure skaters' faces:
@John I had a feeling.
When I said "what you've done" I was speaking generally about how George looks regardless of who draws him.
The cheeky smile and the buzzed haircut he has resembles my father these days. He's hit the big 50 quite a while ago and that old man rust is starting to hit him. OLD MAN
Oh my god. This takes me back to an age where my mother forced me to paint on wooden slabs and rusty saw blades.
Beautiful work. But it makes me feel weird.
Oh! I just noticed too that the tree branches/grass extend beyond the painted background color.
I really love details like that.
i was at target today and noticed that they are using the old designs for trix , lucky charms, and cinnamon toast crunch now. it was cool to see the old characters. they looked good.

Colonial Williamsburg Salutes Military Service on Veterans Day Weekend
Colonial Williamsburg honors the sacrifices and dedication of U.S. active duty military personnel, guard and reservists, retirees, veterans and their dependents during Veterans Day weekend from Nov. 11-13.
On Veterans Day a military march honoring America's veterans will be held at 4:30 p.m., stepping off at the Capitol. All veterans of service in America's armed forces are invited to participate in a march along Duke of Gloucester Street. Groups begin forming at 4:15 p.m. A ceremony follows at the Courthouse on Market Square. Veterans unable to walk the distance can join the parade near the Magazine.
As part of this tribute, Colonial Williamsburg offers special free admission tickets to active duty military, guard, reservists, retirees, veterans and their dependents from Friday through Sunday, Nov. 11-13.
The "Honoring Service to America" tickets provide admission to Colonial Williamsburg exhibition sites including the Governor's Palace and the Capitol, historic trade sites such as the Silversmith Shop and the Wigmaker Shop, and the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg and Bassett Hall, as well as admission to special tours and programs such Revolutionary City, the Capitol tour, the Orientation Walk, regular daytime programs, plus viewing of the movie classic: "Williamsburg—The Story of a Patriot." It also includes free parking at the Visitor Center and complimentary use of Colonial Williamsburg shuttle buses.
The service member need not be present, and free "Honoring Service to America" tickets will be provided to immediate family members of currently deployed troops with appropriate identification. Military veterans who separated before retirement can bring a copy of their honorable discharge paperwork, DD Form 214, as identification of service. These weekend-long tickets are available only at the Colonial Williamsburg Regional Visitor Center and on-site ticket sales locations including the Lumber House Ticket Office in the Historic Area or ticket window in Merchants Square.

text: Tate Stevens, season two winner of The X Factor, will release his self-titled debut album on April 23. The project on Syco Music/RCA Nashville is produced by Blake Chancey, who has worked with the Dixie Chicks , Gretchen Wilson and Montgomery Gentry , among others. Stevens co-wrote three of the songs. The first single, "Power of a Love Song," was written by Jeremy Bussey, Bradley Gaskin and Marcus Franklin Johnson and released to country radio earlier this month. "For someone that has dreamt of recording and releasing music for over a decade, to say I'm excited is an understatement," Stevens said. "I feel like the songs we selected for the album are a real reflection of my personality. They range from fun-loving to serious and everything in between."

Denver, Co. - With all due respect to Peyton Manning and his trio of wide receivers, the most electrifying member of the Denver Broncos is 5-foot-5 speedster Trindon Holliday.
By now, fans know not to run to the fridge or to the concessions stands when Holliday's about to return a punt or a kick.
The former LSU track star had four TD returns last year but also fumbled five times. His make-or-break style was such a sore spot that a radio reporter asked coach John Fox before last year's playoffs if Holliday would be active on game day.
Was he ever.
Denver's diminutive returner raced right into history when he piled up a league-record 248 yards in returns against the Baltimore Ravens. He became the first NFL player ever to take back both a punt and a kickoff for TDs in a playoff game. And those touchdowns were the longest punt (90 yards) and kickoff (104 yards) returns for scores ever in the postseason.
Holliday's breakout, however, was relegated to a footnote when the Ravens outlasted the favored Broncos 38-35 in double overtime thanks to Jacoby Jones' game-tying 70-yard touchdown catch from Joe Flacco with 31 seconds left in regulation.
Otherwise, it might have been Holliday and not Jones putting his fingerprints on the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel's late show and prancing across the floor with Karina Smirnoff on "Dancing With The Stars" in the offseason.
"On the one hand for us, I thought we did a sub-par job on both of those plays, which is usually the case when balls go back all the way," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said as Baltimore prepared to kick off the new season at Denver on Thursday night. "It was an amazing turn of events for a divisional game to have two returns for touchdowns.
"So, from that standpoint, I guess I had reluctant admiration for what they accomplished and what he accomplished in such a big setting."
Holliday was a perfect 16-0 in the regular season last year. He started his season with the Houston Texans, but after their 5-0 start, they jettisoned the returner and the Broncos grabbed him off waivers, then won their next 11 games with Holliday leading the league with a 32.5-yard kick return average and a 10.8-yard punt return average from Week 6 on.
The sprinter was an eight-time All-American in track and field at LSU, winning the 2009 NCAA title by running the 100-meter dash in 10 seconds flat. But he really made himself a household name on Jan. 12 - until the Broncos blew their late lead and were sent packing by the eventual Super Bowl champs.
Holliday, who also returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in consecutive games during the regular season, figures he can be even better in 2013 with a full offseason in Denver's system. He's also hoping to play more than a cameo role on offense after being used sparingly last season, when he caught a pair of passes from Manning.
The Broncos want to get the ball in his hands as much as possible.
"I'm glad I'm not kicking to him anymore and he's on our team now," teammate Matt Prater said. "He's a fun guy to watch because any time he touches the ball, it's exciting. He can score on any play."
He can also put it on the ground at any time, part of what led to the Texans giving up on him.
Holliday worked hard on ball security this offseason after making fans, teammates and coaches cringe as much as celebrate whenever he touched the ball and turned on those jets.
"Oh yes, that's the main priority. You can't go anywhere without the ball," Holliday said.
Holliday said he's much more comfortable fielding punts and kickoffs after putting in so much work on ball security over the last six months.
"I wouldn't say I was raw, but I can honestly say I feel like I was just getting started once the playoff game came around," Holliday said. "So, I can't necessarily feed off of that game, but I'm just going to try to come in here this year and do more than I did last year."
Holliday kept his personal goals to himself but he's not shy about saying he'd love to get some of those passes that Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Bubba Caldwell will be catching.
He knows his biggest impact comes when those guys are on the sideline, however.
Last year, Prater signed a four-year, $13 million deal, and this summer Britton Colquitt became the highest-paid punter in the NFL with a three-year deal that averages almost $4 million.
Holliday could come up for a windfall himself next summer if he has the kind of season everyone's expecting out of him.
"I have to stop myself from thinking about it sometimes," Holliday said. "If you think about it, it will be a distraction. So, I'm just going to come out and work hard."
Hitting more pay dirt, and not the big payday, is what's on his mind.

Patrick McCarthy is one hard working shredder. After a solid season last year, he's teamed up with Neo Dawgs again—Justin Eeles and Pierre Minhondo, along with the rest of the MDPeople. He's been in the mix for quite some time, but now things are really unfolding for the North West heavyweight—and he's sitting on his best season yet.
1. How long have you been shredding? How did it all come about—sponsorship and everything else?
I've been snowboarding for sixteen years. My brother first got me into it and then as I got older it seemed to be the only thing that I really wanted to do. I've always lived in Washington and will be here forever. Moving to Mt Baker was the best decision that I made just because that mountain allowed me the freedom to express myself with snowboarding and it really motivated me. Sponsorship just comes naturally when your snowboarding hard, getting photos published and filming video parts.
2. Are you still working at Hood over the summer?
For sure, I'll be working at HCSC for a couple sessions in June. When I was younger, going to camp played a big roll in my snowboarding. I remember having Travis Parker as my coach, and after that session all I wanted was to be able to do all the tricks that he could. Those camps impact the kids that really want it because you can really condense your learning process. So, I want to continue to be involved—it's like giving back to the kids in a way.
3. What's your Secret?
Coffee, coffee, coffee. Just kidding. I'm motivated by my own personal goals. This persistent motivation paired up with the fact that I love what I do I think helps make me a bit more successful. I love snowboarding and that's the secret I guess. But really, I do eat Wheaties.
4. You've avoided injury as well—do you hit the gym in the off-season?
Yeah, I've been hitting the gym with Landvik a ton, trying to get in the best shape I can for the season. I want to know that I'm as prepared as I can be for every situation that snowboarding presents. Being able to hit the jump that one extra time can be the difference from a shot and a waste of time.
5. You had a full part last year in Some Kinda Life, how are things working out with this year's video?
I feel like this season has been my best one so far. I was prepared early for the year, and Baker got insane early season snow. We were out filming on sleds in the beginning of December, which was crazy—we had forty days by Christmas. Whistler, Washington, Utah, Tahoe, Idaho, Colorado—everywhere we went, we got it. Pierre, Justin, Corey and Gabe were all amazing to work. Every one of those guys took the time to come up to Baker and film this year—I was with at least one of those guys every time I strapped in, so that helped.
6. How did you end up getting involved with the Neoproto crew in the first place?
I owe that one to Shaun McKay. I'd filmed parts for ThinkThank Productions Thunk and FODT's Moment Of Truth in '04 and Pierre watched my stuff after talking to Shaun, then asked if I wanted to film for the new movie. I thought it would be interesting to mix it up and try something new, with a whole new crew. So, I started filming with Pierre in '05. I was hesitant at first because I never think the filmers are going to come all the way up to the Northwest, but Pierre and the whole crew have been up here all year—it's been amazing.
7. Have you made it a point to try and stay close to Baker?
Yeah, I love snowboarding in Washington, and on my home turf. Mt. Baker has the best terrain to fit what I want to do in snowboarding. The weather does'nt always cooperate but that makes you want it more. When it's sunny you know that you've got to kill it because sometimes those sunny days are few and far between. I like to snowboard in the backcountry and avoid park riding. I feel like there's a lack of creativity in snowboard paark shredding but I also realize that not everyone has the same terrain around that I do, so I can sympathize a bit.
8. Beyond Baker, where is your favorite place to shred at?
I love to snowboard in Whistler. That backcountry is super fun and there is just so much variety in the terrain up there. You can find a little bit of everything you're looking for up there.
9. Any idea what's up for next winter?
Not right now. The season just ended so I am going to take it one step at a time. I hope to film another video part, shoot lots of photos and have a good time. I've got some new moves up my sleeves that I've been working on.
10. What about this summer?
I'll head to Hood, then probably come back to my place and cook bbq chicken wings for the rest of the summer. Finish remodeling my house in Bellingham, and try to go fishing with my dad a bit too. Hit up the gym and get ready to do it all over again next year. Maybe have a couple of cocktails from time to time—normal summer stuff. Head out to Tahoe to sit with Pierre while he edits my part then go to Oceanside and surf for while in August.
Thanks first and foremost to my parents for all their support. Next my friends and family and all my sponsors, Option, NFA, Northwave, Drake, Dragon, Spacecraft, Defcon, One Ball Jay, Snowboard Connection, Nixon, and Airblaster—thanks for all the support.

Hi there,
It's been a while since I posted last. I hope everyone is well!
Slightly off topic, but I'm wondering what the group opinion is on horn loudspeakers, and specifically what Oswald's Mill Audio (www.oswaldsmillaudio.com) are doing with them, and vintage RCA drivers from the 1930s.
OMA charge up to $230k for some of their speakers. I'm sure they're good, but are they really that much better than what is available through modern high end drivers?
Looking forward to reconnecting, and hope at least some of y'all are having fun at InDIYana!!

Because Sun City Hilton Head assessments remained the same in 2010 and 2011, many residents assume erroneously that expenses remained the same. During these past two years, our Association's Homeowner (HOA) operating expenses actually increased more than $2 million while golf operating deficits exceeded $370,000. Our association finished 2011 with a deficit, which has to be covered by our prepayment of first quarter 2012 assessments. Our largest ever reserve expense for Purrysburg pool, though excluded from the previous numbers, was also incurred in 2011.
The continuing repair and renovation of our community's aging assets will undoubtedly increase capital and reserve expenditures going forward. New assets with associated operating costs are also coming online this year. In my opinion, the value of our lifestyle requires that HOA operations spending becomes more efficient to avoid large increases such as have recently occurred. Additionally a review of the budgetary process should prove beneficial and the key to more sustainable golf operations needs to be found sooner rather than later.
There's no better time for residents to become more informed about our community's finances. By joining the finance committee group page on the SCHHCA website, residents can access numerous financial reports. Residents can also attend finance committee meetings usually held the third Thursday of the month. Meeting details are in the SunSations near the board of director's column. Finally residents can request copies of association accounting records from Wentworth management or seek the aid of a web-savvy neighbor.

[Verse 1]
I want the life of a legend
Black heart and matching weapons
Got a thing for aesthetics
Straight shooter like Redick
We get to dukin' and that Gloc-32
Pull a Laettner at the buzzer
You a dead motherfucker
Hunt heads motherfucker
My momma told me I'm living crazy
I'm just being what she made me
Dealing with the luck she gave me
Money comes and money goes
The money's low, We run in homes
Only leave the garden gnomes
Take the racks from out the stove
Stunting ain't no habit
If I want, I grab it
Selling tablet's like Toshiba, Nigga
In my city, We the killa's
If you pull that trigger, Better squeeze it nigga
If you don't
Then we 'gon have to find your house, And fucking Christmas tree it nigga
Light it up
Cops roll up
Hide the drugs
I never been to prison, And I never plan on showing up
Never could be rich enough
Cause I grew up broke as fuck
So I'll never stop my stroll
X by the O
All for the love of dough
[Hook x2]
Until I get my 97
Benz, I'm selling dope
So get a quote
The trap is open, Nigga
Everything's a go
I'd be lying if I told you that we got it on the low
But we got it out the 'do
If you need it let me know
[Verse 2]
What you nigga's know about
40's out?
Run up in somebody house
If they home, Then swing that chrome
Knock his baby momma out
Fuck what you be talking 'bout
We really bring these chopper's out
Like Fox 11
Harmful weapons
Tell your girlfriend
Call the Reverend
Tell that pussy nigga talking
Only leave his momma grieving
Never been to prom, So he can slow dance with this Desert Eagle
Understand my grind is crooked
TK with an SK
Load off one mag
In your car dash
Like an Armean with a sextape
Nigga, I'm Heem
I'm Heem
My wave green, Like Tulane
See more drugs than 2 Chainz
Talk more shit, Than two Ye's
Hall of fame shooter
Wig scuffing, Six buffing
And my threat is a promise
I ain't one bit bluffing
I'm in one big room filled with abused substance
Sell, Recieved, Paid, Then Pon De Replay
Never seen D-Day
Watch that 16 Spray
Leave 16 dead, Buried on the east (Camouflage Hummer Radio)

Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Gainesville, said Wednesday evening that a day's worth of debate in Congress did nothing to soften his opposition to military action in Syria.
Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Gainesville, said Wednesday evening that a day's worth of debate in Congress did nothing to soften his opposition to military action in Syria.
Emerging from a hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Yoho said he could not support military action unless the U.S. was directly threatened or its allies were attacked by a foreign aggressor.
Calling the Syrian government's reported use of chemical weapons on its political opponents "reprehensible," Yoho said the conflict there remains a civil war and the United States has no right to intervene.
"I do not see a direct threat to U.S. security from the civil war in Syria," he said on a conference call with reporters. "If we were to (attack) ... this would be an act of aggression on a sovereign nation that did not attack us. I don't think it's constitutional."
Yoho acknowledged that, principle aside, he isn't convinced President Bashar al-Assad's government has used chemical weapons. He said he took part in a classified briefing Tuesday in which military officials conceded they could not say with complete certainty that chemical weapons were deployed. He said the lack of certainty reminded him of the 2003 decision to invade Iraq based on erroneous information about weapons of mass destruction. He doesn't want to repeat that mistake, he said.
"It would be an act of war, and I don't want to go there," Yoho said. "Our young men and women have been through enough in the last 11 years."

When you travel the world, like it or not, you are a representative of your country, and your behavior — good or bad — can reflect on your nation as a whole.
That's why, while we're all for spontaneity, sometimes it's a good idea to stop and think before you chug that eighth beer and start dancing in the streets.
Triposo conducted a survey to learn more about bad tourist behavior abroad. We asked respondents to confess to their own travel sins — which included everything from stealing to public urination — and also to report on the misbehavior of others.
We also asked them which countries they thought behaved the worst while traveling. The answers might surprise you ...

the Needs of Self-Represented Litigants
Chicago-Kent College of Law and Illinois Institute of Technology's Institute of Design are collaborating to examine court processes and recommend modifications to eliminate or reduce procedural barriers to access for self-represented litigants. This project represents a bold attempt to harness the most advanced process design technologies and the power of the Internet in order to fundamentally reengineer civil court processes in which self-represented litigants seek to access judicial services. In the first phase of the project, graduate students in law and design fanned out across the U.S. to gather customer observation of self represented litigants. Students and faculty traveled to Colorado, Delaware California and two counties in Illinois to study existing innovations and to interview members of the judiciary. In the second phase, the research teams fed this data into the latest in system design methods, to redesign civil court processes from a consumer's prospective.
Now is your chance to make a difference! Give back to your community! Help establish the groundwork for making the law accessible to all of the public! In the final phase of the project, researchers and programmers will build a Web site prototype that will incorporate the results of the design process. If you have web design and programming experience and are proficient in programs such as ColdFusion, DHTML, Advanced HTML, JavaScript, SQL, FLASH 5.0 and PhotoShop, we need you!
For more information or to sign up to participate in this innovative project, please contact Todd Pedwell, Manager, Justice Web Collaboratory at firstname.lastname@example.com or 312.906.5328.

I read with interest the January 13, 2005, Essay, "Button, button: Kilgore's pushing our fears." Author Janis Jaquith is correct. I believe Jerry Kilgore doesn't care about humans, only himself, and he will do whatever it takes to put one more feather in his cap. He claims to be big time against Domestic Violence and Abuse. That's a joke.
Ask him about Merry Pease, the lady from Wise County who was wrongfully convicted of the second-degree murder of her husband. She and her children suffered years of physical and emotional abuse. After Merry's husband shot her, she managed to escape. Then he committed suicide.
Ask Jerry Kilgore how he helped Tim McAfee, the prosecutor in Wise County, who persecuted Merry Pease after her conviction was overturned. Ask him about this case being an ongoing one.

What we're about
The easiest way to make Taiwanese friends in a safe, free & friendly environment
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A TAIWANESE TO JOIN THIS GROUP--EVERYONE IS WELCOME! You do not need to speak Mandarin to join.
This group would be ideal for
(a) Locals of Taiwanese descent.
(b) Newcomers or Visitors from Taiwan.
(c) People who like to know more Mandarin speakers (either English speakers or native Mandarin speakers themselves).
(d) Anyone interested in Taiwanese or Chinese culture, or simply like to make some friends here.
(e) People who stayed in Taiwan before or consider to travel/teach English there in the future.
(f) Anyone interested in attending events or gatherings of this group.
Taiwan is among the top-20 largest economies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29) in the world [17][18], and a multi-party democracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_Republic_of_China) with universal suffrage. The high-tech (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_tech) industry of Taiwan has been playing a key role in the global economy and technological advances for decades. She is also ranked highly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan#International_rankings) in terms of freedom of the press, health care [19], public education, economic freedom, and human development [e][12][20], to name a few. (Adapted from Wikipedia--under construction.)
Taiwan is Asia's best kept secret for travel, higher education, medical service, and English teaching. It is also a source of talents and quality products with good price-performance ratios. However, Taiwanese and descendants are a relatively small community as compared to other Asian groups in Toronto. Meeting other fellow Taiwanese is not so common, and the channels are limited. Through this group, we are facilitating a new platform for Taiwanese to meet each other in Toronto, as well as for Torontonians who like to know Taiwanese friends or cultures to blend in. As a bonus, we'll foster the Taiwanese community in Toronto and Canada, collaborate with other Taiwanese organizations/associations, and promote the awareness and presence of Taiwan in Toronto and worldwide.
Lots of students from Taiwan are conducting their graduate study overseas, especially in North America and the Great Britain. Recently due to the convenience of Taiwanese passport and working holidays as well as some government or academic policies, more and more young Taiwanese are having their adventures overseas on a short-term basis. We welcome these young Taiwanese most enthusiastically, and hopefully our group can assist these new friends from hometown to adapt to Canadian life and enjoy their stay better.
** 愛台北·全球網 ** Bridging the Taiwanese Community to the World **
iTaipei 愛台北
International Taiwanese Professionals, Entrepreneurs & Investors

Friday, January 06, 2012 - Paul and Rudy - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Paul and Rudy - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Rudy Bodlak is a great looking guy who we did a Broke Czech Boys shoot with, which also featured his friend. He was so good in that and readily agreed to more work, so the very next day we had him into the studio again, for this Screentest, with Paul Fresh. After a brief interview Rudy shows us just how ready he is by getting into kissing with Paul and feeling his body. They kiss each other and very quickly their hands move to the other's groin. Paul dips his hand into Rudy's underwear. Rudy takes the hint and does the same to Paul. The guys remove their underwear and start to kiss again. Then Paul leads, by taking hold of both cocks and starting to wank them. Then he leans over and starts to suck on Rudy's cock. He doesn't get an immediate reaction from his sucking so Rudy reciprocates and Paul's dick rapdily gets very hard. Rudy clearly wants to do a good job, as he sucks and wanks very well. Paul then holds Rudy's head and fucks his cock into his mouth, while wanking himself. His cock has grown so Paul starts to suck it again, this time getting a much better response. That cock is very hard now as Paul sucks on it and licks all up and down the shaft. Then he lifts Rudy's legs in the air and rims his ass. He laps at that tight hole and, spitting on it, starts to finger it. Then it is time for the big test, Paul gets Rudy on his knees and slides his dick into that hole and starts to fuck him. Rudy is really feeling it as that big cock fucks in and out, going nice and deep, but he takes it without complaint. Paul fucks that ass hard and fast and then changes position, with Rudy's ass high in the air and Paul fucking him again. Rudy moans a lot as that dick slams into his tight ass, then Paul pulls out and examines a nice open hole. He then lays on the bed and Rudy sits down on that big, throbbing dick. He fucks himself onto that cock and rides it before Paul holds him still and fucks upwards. Paul is soon ready to pop his load and moves to Rudy's open mouth and shoots his load into it and over his face. Rudy then takes the cock in his mouth again to clean it off. Paul bends to kiss Rudy's cum infused mouth and then lays his head on Rudy's stomach to receive his load. Rudy shoots a very nice load and Paul sucks his cock dry before kissing him again, ending a really good Screentest, where Rudy proved his worth as a bottom. He will surely be back for more. Next up for him should be a Wank Party.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Jirka Valchar in a newcomer who we called in for a Czech Up. We meet up with him as he is doing some kick-boxing training. he attempts on kick too many, and injures his foot. He dabs at the wound on his toe and decides that it needs further attention, so dons his shoes and jacket and hobbles off to see Dr Rudy Bodlak. As we first see Rudy he is cleaning some equipment as he waits for a patient. Jirka arrives and informs the doctor of his injury. Rudy tells him to get undressed and he will check it. As Jirka undresses Rudy goes to watch, and pulls his cock out and wanks it. Having put on a surgical gown Jirka lays on the inspection table so that Rudy can begin his work. He inspects Jirka's foot and gently dresses the wounds. Then he continues to examine Jirka's foot for any further damage. Then, lifting the gown he examines Jirka's legs, telling him to place his feet flat on the bed, so his legs are up, and we also see his flaccid cock and balls. Rudy checks the legs, and then tells Jirka to remove the gown so that he can listen to his chest with the stethoscope. Next he has Jirka sit, with his legs over the edge of the table, cock and balls dangling, as he inspects his head. Rudy then feels Jirka's body and Jirka twists his head so that they can kiss. As they kiss Rudy takes hold of Jirka's cock and starts to wank it. It soons grows to a rather large erection, standing proud as they kiss. Rudy loves the look of that big, hard cock and starts to suck it, working his mouth over the end and sliding it down his throat. Then the guys kiss again and Rudy pulls his cock out so that Jirka can suck it while he wanks himself. As Jirka sucks him Rudy undresses showing his lovely body. Then the guys move to a 69, so they can both suck at the same time, with Rudy on top taking that massive cock in his mouth. But he needs to examine Jirka further, and takes a scope, lubes it and slides it into Jirka's ass for a nice close inspection. Everything is found to be ok, so they can finish up and Jirka wanks himself to a climax. Rudy quickly drops his mouth of the cock to get a taste of that spurting cum, and sucks it till it is drained completely. Jirka wants to taste some too and Rudy moves up to his head. Jirka pokes his tongue out to catch the cum as it flows from Rudy's cock and then sucks it into his mouth. Rudy then lays down next to Jirka and they kiss bringing a lovely scene to a very fine end.

Aida is still in heat. This time, it's rather mild, but she did have an upset stomach night before last. Today, she's all better again. So, far we've been pretty lucky with the walks on Kampa Park. We did have what looked like the making of a hairy situation when six male dogs swarmed her. When I shouted that she's in heat, their owners promptly came over and rescued Aida. Weather is still holding mild. I won't be looking for warmer climes this winter, knock on wood.
Yesterday, we shot our January Wank Party, or Wank 01 for 2012. We shot it at a great little spa in Prague. IMHO the shoot went very well. I particularly liked it because we popped two cherries during one shoot, that's always my personal favorite scenario. I've posted the first Sneak Preview on the Blog:

While Nik Bramblett's letter to the editor, "Writer fasting to bring attention to budget cuts," in the April 8 edition of The Lancaster News might be good for his health, it has little pertinence to the needed budget cuts or the Tea Party.
It is not about starving people but of a debt so massive that it can no longer be sustained. You can fast all you want, but it will not pay for the social programs that are in place nor a debt that is increasing by more than a trillion dollars per year. The interest is billions per year.

Harper texts way into Nats' lineup
Washington Nationals left fielder Bryce Harper isn't resting this weekend, after all.
Davey Johnson said after Friday night's game he was probably going to give the struggling outfielder a couple of days off.
Harper changed his manager's mind with a light-hearted text later that night.
"In his text he said 'Play me or trade me,"' Johnson said Saturday. "And so since trading's out of the question I guess I'm going to play him."
Johnson laughed when he read the text and sent Harper a text to come in and see him Saturday. The two met before the Nationals were scheduled to play the San Diego Padres.
"It was a good conversation and he's in the lineup," Johnson said.
Since returning from the disabled list and homering in his first at-bat Monday night against Milwaukee, Harper has gone 0 for 18. He was 0 for 4 with a sacrifice fly in Friday night's 8-5 win over San Diego.
Johnson based his initial decision on some body language he was seeing from Harper on Friday night.
"I explained to him a lot of times body language I see is somebody maybe who's mentally beat up or tired physically, and I said `I can't imagine you ever being either one of those,"' Johnson said of his talk with Harper.
Also, the Nationals manager said starting pitcher Ross Detwiler was having discomfort in his back when he threw his bullpen session and is questionable for his scheduled Monday start at Philadelphia.
Starting pitcher Dan Haren (shoulder inflammation) is coming off the disabled list Monday and Johnson said he could make the start if needed.

FleaMod Admin 6 years ago
Transaction limits are fully supported for all sports now. You can set a weekly manual limit, a Fleaflicker weekly limit that is 7 (but if the fantasy week is a bit longer (say the season starts on a Saturday in hockey and it's a 9-day week it will default to 9), a seasonal limit, a seasonal + weekly limit and the regular unlimited limit if you don't want any.
If you have played around with the transaction limits we have had, you may have noticed you were not able to tweak the weekly limit. We have just rolled out a new transaction limit feature that lets all users set a weekly limit (not bound by us by how many fantasy days are in that week's matchup). You can now manually set a limit if you'd like. If you select weekly, it will default to the 7 per week, or how many fantasy days are in a given week's matchup.

Kos Travel Guide
Kos © Karelj
This lovely island of the Dodecanese group has been taken over almost completely by tourism, catering especially for family holidays. Aside from the draw of beautiful beaches, Kos has an abundance of interesting ruins to explore, and is easily reached from Rhodes or Bodrum (Turkey) by ferry. Kos was prominent in antiquity because of its healing temple of Asclepius, founded after the death of the famed physician Hippocrates, who allegedly taught students on the island.
Kos also features the remains of temples for other healing deities, including Isis and Sarapis, and appears to have historically been an island healing retreat. The island boasts a tree that is reputedly the oldest in Europe and Hippocrates is said to have held lecture sessions in its shade. It also has several archaeological remains of Persian, Turkish, Roman and Byzantine conquerors that all added their bit of splendour (and turmoil) during the island's long history. Kos has busy bars and an entertaining nightlife, and there are some pleasant towns and beaches outside the capital, but those looking for empty beaches should head for quieter islands. The main beach in Kos Town is narrow and pebbled, but nearby Tigaki is six miles (10km) of pure white sand. Lambi, Psalidi, and Agios Fokas are all popular beaches a short distance away.

We are looking for contributors for our Kos travel guide. If you are a local, a regular traveller to Kos or a travel professional with time to contribute and answer occasional forum questions, please contact us.

XML encoding is necessary if you have to save XML text in an XML document. If you don't escape special chars the XML to insert will become a part of the original XML DOM and not a value of a node. Escaping the XML means basically replacing 5 chars with new values. These replacements are: < -> < > -> > " -> " ' -> ' & -> & Here are 4 ways you can encode XML in C#: 1. string.Replace() 5 times This is ugly but it works....

SQL Server Profiler is a well known tool for tracing different activity that happens between your server and the clients connected to it.
But very few people know that you can have custom events and trace them in the SQL Server Profiler. They can be found under User configurable event group:
We can have up to 10 custom events.
Firing these custom events is done by executing sp_trace_generateevent stored procedure which takes event id as the first input parameter. These event ID's span from 82 (UserConfigurable:0) to 91 (UserConfigurable:9)
A simple code example to demonstrate this:

Also the SQL Query History Log Viewer has been remodeled. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it further.

Thank you for visiting our past auction result archives. If you have an item identical (or similar) to this auction lot, please call, write or contact us to discuss. We will be able to help you.
Lot # 1662 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1902-1903 T7 Turkish Trophies "Hamilton King Girls" (Flag Girls) Complete Set (25)
Starting Bid - $200, Sold For - $470
Complete set of twenty-five T7 Turkish Trophies "Hamilton King Girls" tobacco premiums from the "Flag Girls" subset. The T7 "Hamilton King Girls" are rare and among the most striking nonsport tobacco premiums ever issued. These premiums feature magnificent full-color artistic drawings of pretty women. The set is organized into six separate series, each with a different theme: "Sketches," "Girls," "Bathing Girls," "Period Gowns," "Flag Girls," and "Bathing-Athletic-Dancing Girls." The twenty-five T7 premiums in this group feature subjects from one of the six sub series. Condition ranges from Vg to Ex (averaging Vg-Ex). T7s are big cards; due to their large size they tend to be subject to a little more corner wear and creases than smaller cards, and were also often tacked up on walls, which is why pinholes are so common with this issue. This is a very sharp-looking set. Colorful, scarce, and beautifully lithographed, this is a very rarely offered subset of these quality nonsport tobacco premiums. Total: 25 premiums. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+. SOLD FOR $470

Indochina, which includes Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia), is a varied land with highlands and populous lowlands. Indochina has a tropical monsoon climate with a dry season during the northeast monsoon (October to April) and a wet season during the summer southwest monsoon season (May to September).
Uncomfortably warm and muggy weather characterizes the wet season. In the north, from Laos across the northern and central parts of Vietnam, cooler temperatures come with the northeast monsoon. Snow may even fall in the highest elevations in northern Vietnam in winter. The lowlands (including the Red River and Mekong River delta regions) of the south (Kampuchea and Vietnam) are sheltered from the cold and tend to remain warm or even hot in the dry season.
Precipitation tends to occur during the southwest monsoon. It is enhanced in the fall by heavy rain from typhoons from the western Pacific. The northeast coast of Vietnam may also see clouds, occasional rain and drizzle with the northeast monsoon, but precipitation amounts tend to be much lower than those in the summer and fall.

Many listeners and readers felt a concise explanation of "a 20 percent chance of rain" was missing from this story about weather forecasts and probability, so we followed up with two meteorologists.
From meterologist Eli Jacks, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service:
"There's a 20 percent chance that at least one-hundreth of an inch of rain — and we call that measurable amounts of rain — will fall at any specific point in a forecast area."
And from Jason Samenow, chief meteorologist with The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang:
"It simply means for any locations for which the 20 percent chance of rain applies, measurable rain (more than a trace) would be expected to fall in two of every 10 weather situations like it."
It's time now for your letters. This week we've been exploring how well we understand probabilities. Yesterday I asked what it means when we hear there's a 20 percent chance of rain.
The question was put to a mathematician and a social scientist at the National Weather Service. But many of you weren't satisfied. Nancy Gold of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was among those left confused. She writes, does it mean that it will definitely rain in only 20 percent of the general area? That there's a one-in-five chance that it will rain in any one spot or what? Instead it turned out that there was apparently a 20 percent chance that you'd tell us. Dang.
SIEGEL: Well, we went back to the National Weather Service today. Here is meteorologist Eli Jacks.
ELI JACKS: There's a 20 percent chance that at least 100th of an inch of rain, and we call that measurable amounts of rain, will fall at any specific point in a forecast area.
CORNISH: I forecast that just 20 percent of you will be happy with that answer.
SIEGEL: And that's why we also checked back in with Jason Samenow, meteorologist with the Washington Post's Capital Weather gang. And he came up with this definition. It simply means for any locations for which the 20 percent chance of rain applies, measurable rain would be expected to fall in two of every 10 weather situations like it.
CORNISH: And then there was this letter from Jeffrey Riel of Leonex, Massachusetts. He writes, how 20th century of you - no one has to live with that uncertainty anymore. Mr. Reil explains, by following the satellite tracking of storms, weather on the NOAA or similar website or using a phone app such as RadarNow, I always know whether it will rain where I am, at what time it will arrive, its strength and its duration.
SIEGEL: He ends by writing, so I always know with 100 percent certainty whether it's going to rain on my parade or not. I am sorry to rain on yours.
BARBRA STREISAND: (Singing) Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade. I'll march my band out.
CORNISH: Well, rain or shine keep sending your letters. Go to npr.org and look and contact on the bottom of the page.
STREISAND: (Singing) Your turn at bat, sir. At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir. I guess I didn't make it. But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection. A freckle on the nose of life's complex. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
