Thanks to their fine-tuned choreography -- and even finer harmonies -- the Temptations became the definitive male vocal group of the 1960s; one of Motown's most elastic acts, they tackled both lush pop and politically charged funk with equal flair, and weathered a steady stream of changes in personnel and consumer tastes with rare dignity and grace. The Temptations' initial five-man lineup formed in Detroit in 1961 as a merger of two local vocal groups, the Primes and the Distants. Baritone Otis Williams, Elbridge (aka El, or Al) Bryant, and bass vocalist Melvin Franklin were longtime veterans of the Detroit music scene when they joined together in the Distants, who in 1959 recorded the single "Come On" for the local Northern label. Around the same time, the Primes, a trio comprised of tenor Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams (no relation to Otis), and Kell Osborne, relocated to the Motor City from their native Alabama; they quickly found success locally, and their manager even put together a girl group counterpart dubbed the Primettes. (Later, three of the Primettes -- Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard -- formed the Supremes).
In 1961, the Primes disbanded, but not before Otis Williams saw them perform live, where he was impressed both by Kendricks' vocal prowess and Paul Williams' choreography skills. Soon, Otis Williams, Paul Williams, Bryant, Franklin, and Kendricks joined together as the Elgins; after a name change to the Temptations, they signed to the Motown subsidiary Miracle, where they released a handful of singles over the ensuing months. Only one, the 1962 effort "Dream Come True," achieved any commercial success, however, and in 1963, Bryant either resigned or was fired after physically attacking Paul Williams. The Tempts' fortunes changed dramatically in 1964 when they recruited tenor David Ruffin to replace Bryant; after entering the studio with writer/producer Smokey Robinson, they emerged with the pop smash "The Way You Do the Things You Do," the first in a series of 37 career Top Ten hits. With Robinson again at the helm, they returned in 1965 with their signature song, "My Girl," a number one pop and R&B hit; other Top 20 hits that year included "It's Growing," "Since I Lost My Baby," "Don't Look Back," and "My Baby."
In 1966, the Tempts recorded another Robinson hit, "Get Ready," before forgoing his smooth popcraft for the harder-edged soul of producers Norman Whitfield and Brian Holland. After spotlighting Kendricks on the smash "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," the group allowed Ruffin to take control over a string of hits including "Beauty's Only Skin Deep" and "(I Know) I'm Losing You." Beginning around 1967, Whitfield assumed full production control, and their records became ever rougher and more muscular, as typified by the 1968 success "I Wish It Would Rain." After Ruffin failed to appear at a 1968 live performance, the other four Tempts fired him; he was replaced by ex-Contour Dennis Edwards, whose less polished voice adapted perfectly to the psychedelic-influenced soul period the group entered following the success of the single "Cloud Nine." As the times changed, so did the group, and as the 1960s drew to a close, the Temptations' music became overtly political; in the wake of "Cloud Nine" -- its title a thinly veiled drug allegory -- came records like "Run Away Child, Running Wild," "Psychedelic Shack," and "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)."
After the chart-topping success of the gossamer ballad "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" in 1971, Kendricks exited for a solo career. Soon, Paul Williams left the group as well; long plagued by alcoholism and other personal demons, he was eventually discovered dead from a self-inflected gunshot wound on August 17, 1973, at the age of 34. In their stead, the remaining trio recruited tenors Damon Harris and Richard Street; after the 1971 hit "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)," they returned in 1972 with the brilliant number one single "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." While the Tempts hit the charts regularly throughout 1973 with "Masterpiece," "Let Your Hair Down," and "The Plastic Man," their success as a pop act gradually dwindled as the '70s wore on. After Harris exited in 1975 (replaced by tenor Glenn Leonard), the group cut 1976's The Temptations Do the Temptations, their final album for Motown. With Louis Price taking over for Edwards, they signed to Atlantic, and attempted to reach the disco market with the LPs Bare Back and Hear to Tempt You.
After Edwards returned to the fold (resulting in Price's hasty exit), the Temptations re-entered the Motown stable, and scored a 1980 hit with "Power." In 1982, Ruffin and Kendricks returned for Reunion, which also included all five of the current Temptations; a tour followed, but problems with Motown, as well as personal differences, cut Ruffin's and Kendricks' tenures short. In the years that followed, the Temptations continued touring and recording, although by the '90s they were essentially an oldies act; only Otis Williams, who published his autobiography in 1988, remained from the original lineup. The intervening years were marked by tragedy: after touring in the late '80s with Kendricks and Edwards as a member of the "Tribute to the Temptations" package tour, Ruffin died on June 1, 1991, after overdosing on cocaine; he was 50 years old. On October 5, 1992, Kendricks died at the age of 52 of lung cancer, and on February 23, 1995, 52-year-old Franklin passed away after suffering a brain seizure. In 1998, the Temptations returned with Phoenix Rising; that same year, their story was also the subject of a well-received NBC television mini-series. Ear-Resistable followed in the spring of 2000 and would win the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance the following year. In 2004, Legacy became their last album for Motown as 2006's Reflections was released by New Door. The label also released their 2007 effort, Back to Front, which featured new recordings of soul classics from the '60s and '70s. After three years of touring the globe, they returned with Still Here, which was issued on the eve of their 50th anniversary. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

I normally wear a size medium in 686 and Burton clothes, so I wasn't prepared when I got these in the mail. Don't think this style comes in a men's version, but it was SO LARGE I wasn't sure if there was some mistake. They were HUGE, so huge that I didn't know whether I should reorder in Small or XS. Decided just to send it back.

How bulky is this? I have the 2006 version of the red impact short, and I can barely fit into my snowboarding pants. This looked like a slimmer fit. Also, can the pads be removed?
1 Answers
...these warmers lack adhesive backing. There's just a narrow sticky stripe down the back, so when I put them on my socks, and put my feet in my boots, they tend to become loose. Otherwise, they get nice and toasty.

These gloves are really warm. Most of the time, I haven't even had to use the liners. The sizes are really large though, so I suggest ordering 1 or 2 sizes smaller than what you'd you usually wear.

Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour by Night
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour by Night. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Highlight of entire trip, best tour guide (Elizabeta), night-time schedule made for cool, quiet, mysterious feel.
This was the best tour you can take in Rome. It was incredible standing on the well-lit field where gladiators once stood. The illumination of all the colloseum elements was outstanding, and so cool to see where the beasts were kept! I highly recommend it.
Awesome tour and super awesome guide Francesca. No lines, no crowds, and no hot sun! Wouldn't have if any other way. Francesca took time to explain the history and tell stories which made the whms experience so much richer than just walking around by ourselves. Highly recommended!
This was an incredible experience. I personally don't deal well with heat and booked this tour as an option. It was perfect. Seeing the colosseum at night was just stunning, the sunset views and the lighting of the colosseum was amazing. We went to the 730 tour which was perfect timing. Guide very knowledgeable.
Great way to see the collosseum in the cool of night with hardly any other tourists! Not as good for photos but easy enough to get them later. Walking out on the arena you could really get a sense of what it would've been like back in the day. Also loved the other ruins included in the walking tour
This is the only way to see the Colosseum! We traveled to Rome during the peak season expecting and dreading the crowds so we booked this tour hoping for a less crowded experience. When we walked past the Colosseum during the day it was packed with people but when we went later for our tour there were only 2 other tour groups there with about 15 people each so we were able to get plenty of pictures without a bunch of random people in the background. Our tour guide spoke great English and took us on a walk down the main street explaining to us what some other monuments and places were before we made it to the Colosseum where we learned facts and stories you wouldn't hear if you just went on your own.
We were met by our guide on time, I wasn't sure what to expect.
We were all radioed up to hear every word with clarity, our guide was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour and was very happy to be asked questions, which he answered with enthusiasm. The tour of the collesuim at night was fantastic and I would highly recommend doing it with viator, we had a fabulous time, Thank you for a great memory.
Was very nice to go at night; no crowds, great tour leader and very enjoyable.
This tour was one of the highlights of our 4 week holiday. The guide was very informative and passionate about the colosseum. We had lots of fantastic photo opertunities and we didn't feel like we had to rush. I would highly recommend this tour. We were there July 2014.
Seeing the Colosseum at sunset was awesome. Our guide was fantastic - very knowledgable about all of the ruins in the area. We enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it.
Excellent tour!
Easy to meet guide and the headsets and earphones ensured that the guide could be heard at all times. The guide spoke mostly good English but was difficult to understand at times.
The first hour was spent walking around the outside of the Roman Forum and surrounding area before going to the Colosseum itself. Being able to go into it at night was exciting and being able to go down into the chambers (albeit only a very small section of it) was cool. The atmosphere was eerie and having the place almost to ourselves was fantastic.
I also went around the Colosseum during the day time but the night tour was much better but is rather expensive but definitely worth it if you can.
Fantastic tour, crowds are gone and the tour is very informative.
Fantastic tour and our guide was excellent. She works as an archeologist so she was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Colosseum as well as the Forum. Going in a small group in the evening is the way to go. Definitely recommend!
Perfect tour of roman forum and Colosseum and perfect time. Less crowded and cooler. A must do in Rome.
Highly recommend great tour

Sarah Posner invites guests from across the ideological spectrum to discuss breaking news and three-alarm issues at the intersection of politics and religion.
|fast audio
Guest-hosting on The Posner Show, Sarah talks to Marc about the controversy over whether the 2012 Olympics should memorialize the Israeli athletes murdered forty years ago in Munich. Is anything involving Israel inevitably political? Marc and Sarah move on to the recurring question of whether Benjamin Netanyahu is committed to peace. Is this the year when the two-state solution will die? What, if anything, should liberal American Jews do about Israel? They close by analyzing the constant hand-wringing over the Jewish vote.
On The Posner Show, Sarah speaks with Sarah Pulliam Bailey about Mitt Romney's commencement speech at Liberty University and how evangelicals are dealing with Romney's Mormonism. How much will President Obama's endorsement of same-sex marriage impact white evangelical turnout, or black or Latino enthusiasm? They also dissect the theology of Obama's new support for same-sex marriage, the reactions of his spiritual advisors, and whether his new position will hurt him with "new" evangelicals who say they care about more issues than just the culture wars. Are "anti-gay rights" and "anti-gay" the same thing? Plus: The generational divide over same-sex marriage—will megachurches start to lose members?
On The Posner Show, Sarah speaks with Gabe Arana, web editor for The American Prospect, about the magazine's current financial crisis. Gabe says conservatives are smarter about funding a media infrastructure, while the liberal donor class has not been. Sarah worries about the future of long-form journalism in an age of rapid-response online media. She cites Gabe's article on his experience with reparative gay therapy as a great example of this kind of reporting. Turning to the presidential race, Gabe thinks the resignation of an openly gay foreign policy advisor shows that Romney is a wimp. Sarah wants to know why Obama can't evolve on gay marriage already.
On The Posner Show, Sarah speaks with Anthea about the controversy over Mona Eltahawy's "Why Do They Hate Us?" piece in Foreign Policy, and whether her broad-brush approach, which provoked much criticism, could contribute to a more robust discussion of international women's rights. Turning to the domestic "war on women," Sarah wonders whether the term is politically useful, and argues that the fight over contraception coverage raises a much bigger issue—a long-term goal of redefining the First Amendment. While the Vatican investigates and "reforms" American nuns, Anthea contends that the American bishops are completely out of touch. Plus: Anthea lays out a harsh critique of Ross Douthat's new book, Bad Religion.

Excess. Nothing exceeds like it. And Brian De Palma's blood-red, cocaine-white upgrade of Howard Hawks' 1932 gangster pic reeks of the stuff. It's the story of Tony Montana (Al Pacino) - one of thousands of Cubans who flooded the Florida coast when Fidel Castro emptied his jails - - and his ferocious rise from dishwasher to druglord. ""I just want what's coming to me,"" he tells best friend Manny (Steven Bauer). ""The world... And everything in it.""
Crushing everyone in his path, Montana's ruthless ambition earns him a coke empire, some horrid '80s suits and bored ice-queen Elvira (Michelle Pfeiffer). But the American Dream chimes hollow, and Montana's lust for wealth, power and his sister (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) is destined to destroy everything...
For his first gangster epic, De Palma jettisoned his usual Hitchcockian-homaging stylistics and settled for pure bravura moviemaking. Scenes of roaring, set-piece violence are spectacularly orchestrated, and with the motel chainsaw massacre, our bloody intro to the US coke trade, he comes up with a show-and-tell shower scene almost as memorable as Hitch's.
De Palma's fave themes of duality are here too, Montana's reflection splintered by nightclub mirrors and his increasingly dark attire tracing the rot of his soul. But remember - - if you want a movie with subtle depths, a movie that knows when to stop, you're in the wrong town. We're talking excess here. The hard stuff.
Against a cringy pop-synth score, Chinatown DoP John Alonzo's Miami is like a garish, fake paradise - - all postcard sunsets and huge, neon-ribbed sets - - that tightens into choked, hellish compositions as Montana's world shrivels with paranoia. And Pacino? Over the top and down the other side.
Like Michael Corleone's monstrous id made flesh, Pacino embraces Montana with an operatic performance bordering on terrifying comedy. Watch him recklessly snort up Oliver Stone's cathartic script, that chewy Coo-ban accent igniting every crackerjack rant (""Jou know what capitalism eese? Getting focked!""). Watch him plunge facefirst into a desktop mountain of cocaine and play a meltdown of incestuous rage with his nose daubed white. Watch him fly sky-high on his own intensity. Hell, just watch him.

Why do men's testicles change in size - sometimes really big other times smaller?
Does this indicate that he might have recently had sex or is that just the ebb and flow of the testes?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
The size of the testes does not reflect if a men has recently had sex or not. The size or state of position they are in, ie. compressed and small or dangling and big, do reflect, however, sexual arousal, room temperature, and climate comfortability.When not sexually aroused, the scrotum is usually larger and free to dangle, as to help in the production of semen and keep the temperature slightly below body temperature.When sexually aroused, the scrotum compresses to prepare the "path way" for the semen to ejaculate with the required force.Usually when it is cold, the scrotum will also compress to keep a comfortable temperature for the sperm to produce and stay alive, when it is hot the scrotum will drop away from the body more to cool off.
I was about to answer the question but saw that someone else already mentioned the things I was going to say.(+1)
Haha, sorry? Comes from experience and knowledge, I guess.
What Guys Said 6
They have phases, much like the moon. Testicular tides.
More about heat and coolness. The body likes to keep the testicles as close to a certain temperature because that's optimal for creation of sperm. So if it's cold (or you just got out of the pool) they shrink up into the body to stay warm. If it's hot, they hang down seeking a cooler climate.There's also an orgasm reflex that causes the testicles to tighten back up toward the body, but that's another thing.
it depends on room temp. when it's hot it sags down and when it's cold it shrinks!
Lol love this question. It may indicate that he has had sex. After I have had orgasm my balls are always smaller because they have been drained of my cum. Also different factors contribute to a man's sperm production. Some guys just have really great ball sacks that are big ad healthy and full of lots of sperm. Other guys have smaller pairs that don't produce as much semen. If his sack is always smaller, it usually means he has been cumming and his balls get smaller when they are drained of his jizz, lol.
You're a moron.Semen doesn't come from the testes. It comes from the prostate, which is inside the body.
Very inaccurate answer.As "Travesty" has indicated, the fluid comes from the prostate gland which is INSIDE our body, not in our scrotum.Testicles don't shrink just because they let go of some sperm in microscopic sizes.It is mainly about room temperature.
I was unaware this happens.
Because it does not?It doesn't change its size according to recent sexual activity.
They don't until we are old enough for a reduction in hormone production. The congestion is non-sexual fluid in it and the sack tightening and loosening from temperature and arousal.
What Girls Said 1
Are you talking about the testicles themselves or the sac? The sac is very susceptable to temp changes. The warmer it is the more stretched out it is and the cooler it is it shrinks back into his groin.

Functional Changes in the Trade Unions. From Intermediary to Fractal Organization?
AbstractThis contribution deals with developments in German Trade Unionism since the world economic crisis of 2008/09. Internationally, the crisis management of the German metalworker's union IG Metall is held in high esteem and regarded as a role model. It seems as if social integrative corporatism has emerged triumphant from the crisis. However, appearances are deceptive. It is argued here that we are once again witnessing a functional change in trade unionism. Corporatism is acquiring a new meaning; it must not be equated with corporatism in the era of prosperous post-war capitalism. In societies marked by divided labour markets and expanding precariousness, corporatism generates different outcomes. Trade Unions run the risk of degenerating into mere representatives of pressure groups, aligning themselves with factions of the political and economic élite in order to further special interests. The concept of trade unions as intermediary organisations is no longer sufficient to explain this functional change.

Izzy and Duff slash
Guns N Roses slash
Izzy was sitting on the couch watching the television and snacking on potato chips. A half drinking beer bottle was on the coffee table next to him resting on a coaster because Izzy didn't want to ruin the table, although it was already ruined from Axl always knocking stuff over while drunk until Slash carried him off to bed. Which had actually occurred earlier his evening and Izzy didn't want to know what they were doing now. Steven had already gone to bed and Duff was out doing something so Izzy had no one to hang out with and nothing to do but watch late night TV.
He was slowly starting to fall asleep when he heard the door lick and open. "Hey" Duff called out as he walked through the front door shrugging off his coat and hanging it on the coat rack. "Hey" Izzy smiled as the blonde walked into the living room. "Mind if I join you?" Duff asked. Izzy nodded that it was fine and scooted over a bit giving the taller man room to sit down, "Brrrrr. It's cold" Duff shivered.
"Oh…um...y-yeah outside." Izzy was blushing being so close to Duff who he always thought was pretty cute. "you alright Iz?" asked Duff with a crooked smile. Izzy bowed his head to attempt to hide his reddening face. "Don't be shy" Duff whispered smiling again brushing Izzy's hair out of his face. Izzy mumbled something that Duff couldn't understand and Duff raised an eyebrow.
"What?" "Ummmm maybe I-I can help warm you up?" Izzy asked still making no eye contact. Duff tightened his grip on Izzy's hair and pulled him so he was facing Duff. Izzy only just looked into Duff's eyes when Duff pressed his lips firmly yet lovingly. Izzy gasped giving Duff a way to slip his tongue into Izzy's mouth tracing his tongue along the rows of Izzy's teeth. Izzy wound up in Duff's lap with the blonde's hands on his hips grinding against the blonde man.
"Izzy…" Duff groaned as Izzy latched his mouth onto Duff's neck and sucked hard. Duff gripped Izzy's hair to hold him in place hips bucking up against Izzy. Izzy smiled against Duff's skin his lips hot. Duff yanked Izzy away from him holding him at arm's length and just staring. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" Duff asked and Izzy gasped out a yes before Duff pulled him in again for a kiss before unbuttoning Izzy's jeans. "Stand up….." gasped Duff voice ragged. Izzy climbed off of Duff on shaky legs. Duff picked up Izzy and carried the boy to the room they shared setting him down on the carpet.
Izzy stripped his clothes off of his skinny body as Duff undressed as well. Izzy walked over to Duff and Duff kissed him one more before letting go of him gently and grabbed some lube from the dresser drawer. He pushed Izzy down onto the bed gently before climbing on top of him and coating his fingers with the lube. He spread the nervous boy's legs and glanced at him to make sure this was ok. Izzy nodded biting his lip. Duff pressed a finger inside Izzy and the boy groaned, Duff added another finer then another stretching him and then he pressed against the spot that made Izzy body arch off the bed and made the boy practically scream.
Duff pulled his fingers from the panting boy before coating his erection and kissing Izzy on the forehead before sliding in to him. Izzy groaned and tensed up. "Shhhhh relax baby relax." Duff soothed and slowly pressed further. When he was fully inside Izzy he waited for the boy to adjust before rocking his hips slowly then faster and soon Izzy's moans turned from pain to pleasure. Duff gripped his hips and slammed into Izzy hitting his prostate making him cry out. "Yeah does that feel good?" Duff cooed, Izzy nodded and Duff aimed for that spot grabbing Izzy's now leaking erection and pumping him in a rhythm matching his thrusts
Izzy came screaming Duff's name and Duff came inside Izzy soon after. He collapsed next to Izzy pulling out and lying beside the exhausted boy. "You warm now?" Izzy panted. "Mmmm yeah" Duff chuckled pulling Izzy to him and covering their sweaty bodies with a blanket. "Love you Iz" "Love you to Duff"

dude makes relievers **** themselves on the mound
hes got some serious swag
I've definitely been under-rating his power. It is about time maybe to start giving him starts ahead of both Duda and Bay. I think he's actually had more focus coming off the bench as a pinch hitter, but the talent is clearly there for him to contribute as a starter.
4-22 as a PH, the 4 hits are homers. lol
I like him as a PH. I think as a starter pitchers would figure him out
|Sponsored Links
Time to let him play everyday to see what we have. Can anyone tell me why not?
" You seek Yoda!
Also it's not like Valdespin is an unknown at this point, he's made adjustments. I feel like pitching coaches are always coming out when he comes to bat, they personally give the scouting report.
He's a modern day Mark Carreon.. with some actual talent.
Play the man. Platoon Duda and Bay.
Go Grab My Belt
"The 90 wins is about challenge. It's about changing the conversation. It's about framing questions for ourselves as to how we get there. So I stand by the notion that we need to get better, and in doing so we need to set concrete goals for ourselves so that we have sort of specific conversations among ourselves about how we're going to get there." -- Mr. Alderson
If it's not broke, don't try to fix it.
Playing everyday has exposed a lot of young guys who have holes in their swing.
It's the reason why you always see good players have sophomore slumps.
Valdespin deserves to start, but not everyday. Not yet anyway.
He's excelling in the role he is in now. Leave him be, he's a perfect PH.

Japan to launch world's first LNG futures by March 2015
TOKYO, March 29 (Reuters) - Japan is planning to launch the world's first futures market for liquefied natural gas by March 2015 in a move that will help the top buyer of the fuel cut its import costs, the trade ministry said on Friday.
LNG is expensive in Asia <LNG-AS> at more than $15 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) as it is linked to oil, while a boom in U.S. shale gas output has pushed down prices there to just over $4 per mmBtu.
Japan, which consumes about a third of the global LNG demand, has seen its imports soar after the devastating Fukushima crisis in 2011 crippled its nuclear power sector. It paid a record 6 trillion yen ($63.82 billion) for overseas purchases of the fuel last year, up 25.4 percent from 2011.
The country aims to establish a cash-settled LNG futures market at Tokyo Commodity Exchange to give importers, including power utilities and city-gas suppliers, a chance to hedge risks and try to break its reliance on oil-linked pricing, a trade ministry official said.
Japanese firms -- including Inpex, Mitsubishi Corp , JX Nippon Oil & Energy, Tokyo Electric Power Co and Tokyo Gas -- and the trade ministry have reached a basic agreement on setting up the LNG futures market, he said.
Japan is hoping to launch an accessible market for major Asian buyers including South Korea and Taiwan, and will consider asking exchanges in Singapore and the United States to establish similar LNG futures markets in their nations, the trade ministry official said.
To boost liquidity, Japan aims to equip the futures - which will trade in U.S. dollars - with a Exchange of Futures for Physical function that would allow a physical delivery to settle positions if market participants wish, just like U.S. crude and London Brent futures.
The country will consider setting up a physical-settled LNG futures market in the future, trade ministry sources said.

Associated Press
April 5, 2003
Houston Chronicle
SAN ANTONIO - A civil trial involving a lawsuit brought against Hill Country Youth Ranch ended when a settlement was reached between the defendants and two brothers who claimed they were molested at the facility ten years ago.
District Judge John Delaney dismissed the jury after both parties agreed to the confidential deal.
The boys, along with their mother and attorneys, declined to comment on the settlement.
"The parties have decided to cease litigation and pursue healing, and the Hill Country Youth Ranch is anxious to get back to the business of healing children," defense attorney Keith Williams said in Friday's edition of the San Antonio Express-News.
The lawsuit accused the defendants of gross negligence in supervising and retaining Mark Shellenberger, a ranch house parent from 1991 to 1995.
The teenage boys claimed Shellenberger molested them during visits to "Sam's Cabin," a dorm at the ranch.
Shellenberger pleaded guilty in 1998 to sexually assaulting a ranch resident and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The boys' case was built on Shellenberger's conviction and ranch records that showed his treatment of boys raised concerns beginning in 1992.
According to the documents, Shellenberger was reprimanded several times until he was apparently forced to resign in 1995.
Gary Priour, founder of the Ingram residential facility for abused and neglected children, was also named in the suit, but wasn't in the Kerrville courtroom when the trial ended.

The University of South Alabama is marking the 50th anniversary of its founding.
The school will hold a celebration on campus in Mobile on Friday night to commemorate its start in 1963.
Gov. Robert Bentley will attend, and officials are planning a special recognition for President Gordon Moulton, who is retiring on July 1.
State lawmakers approved legislation authorizing the school on May 3, 1963, and classes started the next year.
The university has since awarded more than 75,000 degrees, and it now has more than 15,000 students.

That would be so much more awesome than you even know. Great idea.
Personally, I'm thinking one of the five, Garrosh, Varian, Rhonin, Jaina, or Thrall is going to be Scourge-ified come Icecrown Citadel, and it's going to be sort of surprising and dramatic, and will be the other major boss. They probably won't do Varian, they've kind of jumped the shark on Alliance leaders becoming twisted, evil and incredibly powerful. Horde not quite so much...Garrosh may be too expected though anyway.
Everyone loves Thrall, 'cuz pretty much every other major NPC in the game are either too wimpy or too stupid (don't give Bliz the idea to take down Saurfang!). And since Sylvanus already functions as an Undead Horde leader, that'd be kinda lame.
And people appreciate Jaina as the only example of a strong and "good" major NPC in the game (Tyrande really doesn't count), and don't give a crap about Rhonin, who only counts 'cuz he's in Northrend, so I don't know what they'll do.
Fordring is Superman of course.

Frankly I think the guild here handled they only way they could with the information that they had (i.e. not knowing there was account sharing going on). I would have assumed that the person was up to something shady given the facts at hand.
If the guild leader is in a charitable mood and/or kicking them would result in more drama than it is worth, they certainly could be re-invited, with the caveat that each of them is responsible for all of their actions and if a similar situation arises the guild will not be a forgiving.
The biggest problem with account sharing is that person A gets mad at person B (or in this case persons C, D, or E!!) and gets the account banned or deletes the toons or ninjas the bank, etc. Do you really want that drama potential in your guild?

Poorly made and with terrible dynamic range. I ended up going back to my el cheapo Sony earbuds.

I've bought a pair for myself for use with the iPod and a pair for my 12 year old daughter for her CD player and the PowerBook so she can watch movies in the back of the car when we travel. We both love them, they sound great and the case is a piece of impressive design.

0 Comments | Add Comment Our Cantaloupes and Romaine are OK!
You have heard about a recall on cantaloupes due to possible listeria contamination. The cantaloupes in question all came from a farm in Colorado. Our cantaloupes are from Turlock, California, and so are not part of the recall, and are safe to eat.
To further ensure that the melons you eat are safe, the UC Davis Extension recommends washing cantaloupe under cold running water, scrubbing the surface with a vegetable brush, before slicing. After cutting, melons need to be covered and refrigerated or kept on ice until used.
The recall on romaine lettuce is for True Leaf brand packaged Chopped Romaine Lettuce, with a "use by" date of September 29. We do not carry this product.

This was easy-peasy during the colder months, but I'm struggling to find lighter bean dishes now that warmer days are upon us. A few recipes are below, but I could sure use some help. Any ideas for warmer weather bean dishes?
One trick for lighter bean dishes is to think about the beans themselves. White beans like cannelloni and great northerns are fantastic in cold picnic salads or as a spread on sandwiches. Black beans were our favorite for winter chilis, but they're just as at home in soft tacos and veggie burgers.
1. Asparagus and White Bean Salad Over Arugula
2. Weeknight Black Bean Burritos
3. Rosemary-Lemon White Bean Dip (also good on sandwiches!)
4. Three-Bean Salad with Edamame
5. Rapini with Orecchiette and White Beans
7. Slow-Cooker Black Bean Enchiladas
8. Spinach, White Bean, and Taleggio Pizza
10. Bean Chilaquiles with Avocado and Queso Fresco
What are your favorite warm weather bean dishes?

Black bean-mango salsa. Hummus. White bean crostini (cannellini w/sage--cooked, cooled, piled on a garlic-rubbed toast). Cold edamame is an excellent snack with beer. And of course, green beans in your pasta al pesto!
This is one of my favorite quick recipes I found in my vegetarian times magazine. Smoky black bean tostadas. I am forever changing all my recipes though, so here are my suggestions: just use the instructions on how to make the tostada/tortilla part and the beans part and then top with whatever toppings you feel like/have on hand (goat cheese is always good!). And I add much more smoked Spanish paprika than the recipe calls for. You can get this at Penzey's website (they have the best spices!!). I use this all the time for a quick meal and it always gets rave reviews. Link to the recipe here: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10903. Have fun!
I just made a salad (from Bittman, I think), that had black beans, roasted yam, red pepper, red onion, cilantro, and a lime-based dressing that was great warm and even better cold for lunch yesterday. I know the yam is a little winter-y, but it's good for this shoulder season...
(Seeing if I can end the bolding here...)
I like black bean and corn salad - especially if it's got some avocado and lots of cilantro thrown in; it's great by itself or as a side dish.
Collard Greens, Black Beans and Potato Pizza with Parsley Pesto - great with cannellini beans too.
Agree with tariquata - black bean and corn salad is delicious, quick and easy ... also great if you turn it into a chilled, chunky soup.
Hummus with veggies or pita to dip in it (super cheap and easy to make at home in a food processor - Hummus Trio - Plain, Roasted Red Pepper, and Spinach
And a very easy, fresh Cannellini Bean, Zucchini and Tomato Salad drizzled with just a bit of balsamic vinegar and black pepper. This one becomes my go-to once tomato season arrives.
One of my favorite meals is to make a "throw things together and hope for the best" salad, either grain- or bean-based. I've done it enough over the years that I'm pretty much always happy with the results. Once warmer weather hits, I usually like to make one of these every week.
One example of what I'll make is a salad with black beans and diced tomato, bell pepper, red onion, avocado and/or mango, and a bunch of fresh parsley and cilantro. I usually make a basic vinaigrette with lime juice, cumin, and cayenne or chipotle pepper. You can eat this as-is, or on top of salad greens. Sometimes I even use those tortilla forms to make edible tortilla bowls, fill those with greens, and put bean salad on top.
I just change the flavor profiles around to fit the base bean or whatever I'm in the mood for!
Black beans with corn, tomatoes, rice, and maybe a little diced white onion and spices are fantastic in quesadillas, on tacos, as a chip dip, on top of a salad, or just plain with a little sour cream or cheese.
I've made black bean, bell pepper and corn enchiladas with soyrizo -- it would be just as good with regular chorizo, or without the soyrizo at all. You could easily do this skillet-style to avoid warming up the house with the oven, too. I also love mango, avocado and black bean salad with lime juice and cilantro -- super easy and great with tortilla chips or on a tostada. I also saw a great recipe for a warm salad with lentils and sweet potato in the Urban Pantry cookbook that I think would be great with black beans. And since I'm Mexican, I always turn to pinto-based bean burritos for comfort food.
Of course, being Filipino, I would be remiss if I didn't mention halo-halo, a layered summer dessert that uses red beans, shaved ice, fruity mix-ins and condensed milk. There's also any of the other super delicious red bean or mung bean pastries that are common to Chinese, Japanese and Filipino cuisine.

One quick tip on the audio: When you have a very syllabant voice, this means you accentuate your "S's" (this not the same as a lisp), putting in a low-pass filter with a cut-off around 2-4k can really help take the edge off. This will help a lot more with lower quality mics found on the most common headsets which really tend to wreak havoc on syllabant voices.
That's one way of helping to improve the audio without going out and spending money on a better mic.

Thanks so much for this helpful comment. I'll work on getting that done...now just to figure out how to add a low pass filter.

Made this last night for husband and a drop-in guest. It was DROP DEAD DELICIOUS! I didn't wipe out the pan after sauteeing the steak, but sauteed the curry, onion, ginger and garlic in the drippings. Also added the steak back into the sauce and simmered it on low while I made mashed potatoes and peas and mushrooms. Husband and guest raved! In fact, our guest conned me out of the leftovers to take home. Tasty, easy and very, very good.
