Running Time: 120
Company: Devil's Film
Cast: Tia Sweets, Alexa Von Tess, Daryn Darby, Courtney Brooks, Kimber Lace, Isabella Dior, Kina Kai, Christina Aguchi, Chastity Lynn, Lindsay Kay, Marlie Moore, Ashley Lace
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
For the big 50 mark of the ever-popular Teen Tryouts series, Devil's did something special: Made it completely cock-free and branded it the "Lesbian Edition." And we approve. Immensely.
The girls they've gathered all clearly relish chowing muff, and while it's a little bit of a downhill trek after the amazing first scene, it's all rollicking good. About that first scene, though, it features the two mouthwatering cover foxes, Alexa Von Tess and Isabella Dior, as well as a third cutie, Tia Sweets. And trust us when we say that this one, kids, is a supreme re-watcher.
Pre-nom for Best All-Girl Scene (Von Tess, Dior & Sweets) and Best All-Girl Release.
Retailing: Girl-only fans will slobber over it.

The Name of the Rose
The Name of the Rose
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P, Paperback, 9780156001311, 552pp.
Publication Date: September 28, 1994
"A brilliantly conceived adventure into another time" (San Francisco Chronicle) by critically acclaimed author Umberto Eco.
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns to the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, and the empirical insights of Roger Bacon to find the killer. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey ("where the most interesting things happen at night") armed with a wry sense of humor and a ferocious curiosity.
After leaving Princeton in his sophmore year to join the American Field Service, William Weaver drove an ambulance with the British army, first in Africa and then in Italy, initiating his long fascination with that country. After finally graduating from Princeton in 1946, he then returned to Italy, translating many of the most important modern Italians, from Pirandello to Morante, Gadda, Calvino, and Umberto Eco. His translations have received the National Book Award, the Galantiere Prize, the PEN translation prize twice, and the John Florio Prize 3 times. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and teaches at Bard College.

How short a time are you thinking? Considering newborns are eating every 2 hours, are you asking the surrogate to move in? Surrogates usually have their own family... this doesn't seem feasible.

Sweet and devious baby girl - born 10/31/10 - still red for Scarlett
If she agreed to pumping as part of the arrangement ahead of time, I'd be okay with that...actual breastfeeding...probably not.
No. That is a lot of extra time that the surrogate would be giving up. She already gave up 9 months. I don't think I could ask for even more. If she wanted to do that while still in the hospital, that is fine. But I would try to do it myself for the rest of the time.
Removing all the emotion it's a nice concept. Baby gets breast milk. I'm a huge breastfeeding proponent and I definitely think that it's best. But I hate when breastfeeding is the be all and end all. I think all mother's should be encouraged to breastfeed, supported, instructed have access to a lactation consultant and all that. Bottom line it doesn't work (physically, mentally, logistically) for everyone for all different reasons and though I think someone should talk to a mother who's choosing to bottle feed about all the options to make sure they are making an educated decision when they say I get it and I choose bottles I think that should be it and their decision should be supported.If a mother is so stressed about the breast feeding then I don't think the "breast is best" rule applies anymore because it stops being the best option for that mom & baby. I think this would be one of those situations where the majority of the time the emotions invovled on either & both sides make breastfeeding not "best".

Those days ive seen a lot of player using mark of the shattered hand, instead of mark of the thunderlord. Why they are using this? I remember that MotSH does not stack with mastery, and also doesn't stack with ap/agility.
I guess its better if you play with fls, because it is still a dot, but which is its ppm? does it has a icd? And if you play fls its not better to play with the +500 mastery?
thx for any reply

England Raises Cricket Expectations by Breaking Ashes Drought
Having secured its first Ashes cricket series victory in Australia for 24 years, the hard work may be ahead for Andrew Strauss's England team.
England won the final Test by an innings and 83 runs in Sydney today to take the best-of-five contest 3-1, Australia's worst series loss since 1988-89.
"People now will have high expectations of us, there's no doubt about that," Strauss said at a news conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground. "We're going to have to work very hard to live up to those expectations."
Apart from the opening days of the series in Brisbane and the third Test in Perth, England dominated the Australians on their home turf. The touring team only had to bat once in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney as Australia lost three matches in series by more than an innings for the first time in 134 years of elite cricket.
Alastair Cook and James Anderson, members of the England team that suffered a 5-0 sweep of defeats in Australia four years ago, led both teams in batting and bowling.
Cook was named Player of the Series after amassing 766 runs, the second highest tally by an England batsman in any Ashes behind Walter Hammond's 905 in 1928-29. The opener, who averaged 127.66, also set a record for a five-Test campaign by batting for a total of 2,171 minutes, eclipsing Shivnarine Chanderpaul's 2,057 for the West Indies against India in 2002.
'Better and Better'
"We've had an amazing two months here but we've already said we want to improve," Cook, who struck three centuries including a top score of 235 not out, told reporters. England coach "Andy Flower won't let us have an easy time. He will demand that we get better and better."
Anderson, who took five wickets at an average of 82.60 four years ago, consistently troubled Australia's batsmen with his swing bowling this trip to pick up 24 wickets at 26.04.
England's success was founded on discipline, patience and the ability of all 11 players to stand up and perform when required, said Strauss.
England scored nine centuries in the series to Australia's three and racked up at least 500 runs four times in the series, an Ashes first. Bowlers Steve Finn, Chris Tremlett, Graeme Swann and Tim Bresnan all took at least 11 wickets each.
"It's not often you get as many people in great form as we have had on this tour," Strauss said. "When you do, it's a pretty hard force to stop."
While five of England's top seven batsmen averaged over 50, Mike Hussey was the only Australian to pass the mark. The home team's best score of 481 came in the first innings in Brisbane.
Rankings Slide
Australia, which was the world's top-ranked team between 2003 and 2009, has lost six of its past eight Tests to slip to No. 5 in the International Cricket Council's official rankings.
"This is probably as close to rock bottom as it gets," said Australia captain Michael Clarke, standing in for the injured Ricky Ponting. "As players we feel disappointment right now, but we do see potential. We are better cricketers than what we have shown. We have no excuses."
Clarke, who scored 193 runs at 21.44 in nine innings, said the margin of Australia's defeat and his own form in the series prompted him to decide to quit international Twenty20 cricket in order to "try to become a better Test player."
Only five Australians -- Clarke, Hussey, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle and Shane Watson -- took part in all five matches.
'Totally Outplayed'
Andrew Hilditch, Australia's chairman of selectors, said his four-man panel wasn't to blame for the defeat and defended changes including using three different spinners in Xavier Doherty, Michael Beer and Steve Smith.
"The reality is we were totally outplayed," Hilditch told reporters at the SCG. "You can't get away from that fact. They were better than we were."
While Australia starts a review into what went wrong, Strauss wants to use England's performances as a springboard to mount a challenge to become the No. 1-ranked Test team. England is currently third behind India and South Africa.
"The one hint of caution for us is that there are going to be tough times ahead, that's just the way the game is," Strauss said. "We're not going to win by an innings every time we play. We've got to keep striving to get better because if we don't other teams will pass us."

"Pack for all weathers" Top 5 Page for this destination Wyoming Packing List Tip by toonsarah
Wyoming What to Pack: 12 reviews and 6 photos
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Even if you?re visiting Wyoming at the height of summer you need to be prepared for all weathers, and by the time we arrived in early September it already felt like autumn/fall, especially at the higher levels.
You?re unlikely to need any really smart clothes. We stayed at several of the nicest lodges in the National Parks but even dining in these the dress code was casual, and elsewhere it?s even more so. I took one nice skirt just in case, but never wore it! So I recommend you take both long trousers and shorts, tops in varying thicknesses that can be layered, comfortable walking shoes and maybe, if you are staying at one of these lodges, something just a little bit smarter if (and only if) you like to dress up a little!
Photo Equipment: A long lens is a must if you want to get close-up photos of the wildlife, but the light is pretty good so no other fancy equipment is needed. All the photos on my various Wyoming pages were taken with my little Olympus digital camera.

Towards the origin of modern technology: reconfiguring Martin Heidegger's thinking

Martin Heidegger's radical critique of technology has fundamentally stigmatized modern technology and paved the way for a comprehensive critique of contemporary Western society. However, the following reassessment of Heidegger's most elaborate and influential interpretation of technology, "The Question Concerning Technology," sheds a very different light on his critique. In fact, Heidegger's phenomenological line of thinking concerning technology also implies a radical critique of ancient technology and the fundamental being-in-the-world of humans. This revision of Heidegger's arguments claims that "The Question Concerning Technology" indicates a previous unseen ambiguity with respect to the origin of the rule of das Gestell. The following inquiry departs from Heidegger's critique of modern technology and connects it to a reassessment of ancient technology and Aristotle's justification of slavery. The last part of the paper unfolds Heidegger's underlying arguments in favor of continuity within the history of technology. According to these interpretations, humans have always strived to develop "modern" technology and to become truly "modern" in the Heideggerian sense. The danger stemming from the rule of das Gestell is thus not only transient and solely directed toward contemporary Western society, but also I will argue that humans can only be humans as the ones challenged by the rule of das Gestell.

This function generates the initarg list for creating an instance of an ESD given a list of DSDs. I use this when creating a subclassed ESD and want to modify the values of the direct slots before storing them in the effective slots. The code where I use this function follows this message. Lispworks, AllegroCL, CMUCL/SCL all have this function, but none of them export it. The interface is the same for all of these implementations except for Lispworks which takes an additional argument compared to the other implementations. Perhaps it is too low-level and implementation dependent to export.

Halle Berry in J Brand Aoki in Tulum
Halle Berry and Nala spent some quality time together while running errands in Santa Monica. Halle was back in her J Brand Aoki jeans in Tulum with a slouchy tank and sandals.
Halle definitely is a brand loyalist and re-wears her jeans on a regular basis. I feel like a lot of celebrities rarely re-wear things, so it's always great to see Halle doing so. You can buy these jeans from J Brand for $213.

Halle Berry in Black Orchid
It looks like Halle Berry has broken out her Black Orchid Black Star shorts again! She picked up groceries in Malibu before heading back to the beach.
These shorts seem perfect for throwing over a bathing suit and running errands, they look very comfortable. It seems as though Halle has been taking some time off of work to spend time with her daughter Nahla, but I'd love to see Halle in a film sometime soon! You can buy Black Orchid jeans online at Singer22.com.

Halle Berry in Agave Denim
Halle Berry and daughter Nahla spent some quality time together on the beach in Malibu. The mother and daughter were seen walking along the beach together before meeting up with Halle's fiance, Olivier Martinez.
For their day at the beach, Halle wore a pair of Agave Denim Delgada jeans in St. Bart's Flex with a tee shirt. We don't see a ton of celebrities out in Agave, but it seems as though Halle is a big fan, as she's already been spotted out in them a couple of times. You can buy these jeans online from Agave for $220.

I'm working on plugging my GUI into my underlying code [let's call it the Model] which does all of the actual operations.
I've created a frame class [let's call it Frame], in which there are three panels [these are classes nested inside the Frame.
I want to make all of the GUI's controls work together & act on one instance of the Model, so I created & instantiated the Model in the Frame.
However, when I try to call operations on the instance of Model from the the panels, I get NullPointerExceptions. I'm not sure if there's something inherently wrong with my design, or perhaps it's my code. I was wondering if the design I've stated is something that could work, or is there a better way of doing it?
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, & thanks in advance.

After the upgrade, everything looked fine initially after upgrading the database. The problem occurs whenever I try to save edits to a post that was created before the upgrade.
Instead of saving the changes, I am quickly redirected to the server root page which as it's a shared host is not even under my control.

Iowa man with zebra, parrot in truck gets DUI
Published: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 7:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 7:27 a.m.
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man stopped outside a Dubuque bar with a small zebra and a parrot in his truck has been charged with drunken driving.
KCRG-TV reports (http://bit.ly/KkBp1j ) officers arrested 56-year-old Jerald Reiter of Cascade on Sunday in the parking lot of the Dog House bar, where people had been taking photos of the animals.
Reiter says the zebra and macaw parrot are pets and like riding in the truck. Reiter claims he sometimes takes the animals into the bar, but the owner says they're not allowed inside.
Officers gave Reiter a field sobriety test and charged him with drunken driving. Reiter disputes the arrest. He says he was about to let a passenger, a person, begin driving.
He says he thinks someone who came to see the animals called police.

I will preface this by saying I have not yet ridden at either Jay Peak or Stowe, widely regarded as 2 of the best in the East, but to this point, Sugarloaf is by far the best Eastern slope I've had the pleasure of riding.
I made it to Sugarloaf on 2 occasions last year, once in January and once in March. Both times, conditions were immaculate, with a groomed New England base, and loads of loose snow on top. The snowfields were open for the March trip, and were worth the trip alone, if only for the experience of riding above tree line. Lifts are fast and efficient, though a base to summit Gondola, directly in place of the old one, would be a very welcome addition.
Top to bottom rides can last 20-25 minutes on the cruiser intermediate trails. The views are amazing, spanning at least 3 states, and visibility into Canada from the summit.
The food is amazing, especially at The Bag, which is a great spot for an on the slopes lunch OR apres-ski. The village itself makes up for the less than great nightlife, though there are a few decent pubs and restaurants in the Carrabbasett Valley as well. Make no mistakes about it though. If you're coming to Sugarloaf, you come to ski/board first, party second.
I haven't a bad thing to say about this mountain. If I could give the downhill terrain 7 stars, I would. As good as Sunday River is, Sugarloaf is 10x better, and well worth the trip into the remote Maine wilderness.

(J. Pat Carter/AP)The Miami Dolphins started their 2013 season with a 23-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, and you'd think everyone on the Dolphins' side would be happy about that. Most everyone was, but receiver Mike Wallace, signed to a five-year, $60-million contract with $30 million guaranteed in March, was not.The former Pittsburgh Steelers' star, known as one of the NFL's most dangerous deep threats, was targeted just five times by quarterback Ryan Tannehill, and caught just one pass -- a 15-yarder with 11:30 left in the third quarter. After the game, Wallace said that he did not feel like talking about the performance."Ask coach," Wallace told the media. "It's not my gameplan."As we pointed out in this week's "Playbook" preview, it's an issue that may have had its roots in the preseason. For all the talk about Wallace as a deep threat, he caught exactly one pass over 20 yards in the exhibition campaign.[si-nfl-player id="7d5bfd65d834414596bc88e4e968916e"]When asked this week about Wallace's matchup against Browns cornerback Joe Haden, who shadowed Wallace and is one of the league's most impressive young cover men, Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said that that matchup might be a consideration in the gameplan."It's very important as we put together the passing game," Philbin said on Tuesday. "Obviously, the passing game again starts with protection, No. 1. But then No. 2, what kind of pass concepts are you going to use, and No. 3, how are they going to match up to your formations, your personnel groupings and how we could potentially take advantage of that? It's a very big part of it. Obviously Haden is an excellent player." True, but if you pay that much money for a receiver, you're intimating that he's matchup-proof to a degree, and you're going to get him the ball no matter what. Tannehill threw 18 passes in the first half, and not one of them went Wallace's way. It's an odd way to use such a valuable player, but that's how the Dolphins played it. Brian Hartline led the team with 15 targets, and Brandon Gibson came in second with 10. More Audibles

The protection of wetlands and riparian areas has emerged as an important environmental planning issue. In the United States, several federal and state laws have been enacted to protect wetlands and riparian areas. Specifically, the federal Clean Water Act includes protection requirements in Sections 301 and 303 for state water quality standards, Section 401 for state certification of federal actions (projects, permits, and licenses), and Section 404 for dredge and fill permits. The Section 401 water quality state certification element has been called the "sleeping giant" of wetlands protection because it empowers state officials to veto or condition federally permitted or licensed activities that do not comply with state water quality standards. State officials have used this power infrequently. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of state wetland and riparian programs. Contacts were established with officials in each state and in the national and regional offices of key federal agencies. Based on interviews and on a review of federal and state laws, state program effectiveness was analyzed. From this analysis, several problems and opportunities facing state wetland protection efforts are presented.

What You Should Know About Bipolar Disorder
What the Depression Phase Is Like
Without treatment, a person with bipolar disorder may have intense episodes of depression. Symptoms include sadness, anxiety, loss of energy, hopelessness, and trouble concentrating. They may lose interest in activities that they used to enjoy. It's also common to gain or lose weight, sleep too much or too little, and even think about suicide.
When Someone Is Manic
During this phase, people feel super-charged and think they can do anything. Their self-esteem soars out of control and it's hard for them to sit still. They talk more, are easily distracted, their thoughts race, and they don't sleep enough. It often leads to reckless behavior, such as spending sprees, cheating, fast driving, and substance abuse. Three or more of these symptoms nearly every day for a week accompanied by feelings of intense excitement may signal a manic episode.
Bipolar I vs. Bipolar II
People with bipolar I disorder have manic phases for at least a week. Many also have separate depression phases, too.
Those with bipolar ll have bouts of major depression, but instead of full manic episodes, they have low-grade hypomanic swings that are less intense and may last less than a week. They may seem fine, even like the "life of the party," though family and friends notice their mood changes.
What's a "Mixed Episode"?
When people with bipolar disorder have depression and mania symptoms at the same time, or very close together, this is called a manic or depressive episode with mixed features. This can lead to unpredictable behavior, such as taking dangerous risks when feeling hopeless and suicidal but energized and agitated. Mood episodes involving mixed features may be somewhat more common in women and in people who develop bipolar disorder at a young age.
What Are the Causes?
Doctors don't know exactly what causes bipolar disorder. Current theories hold that the disorder may result from a combination of genetic and other biological -- as well as environmental -- factors. Scientists think that brain circuits involvedin the regulation of mood, energy, thinking, and biological rhythms may function abnormally in people with bipolar disorder, resulting in the mood and other changes associated with the illness.
How It Affects Daily Life
When it's not under control, bipolar disorder can cause problems in many areas of life, including your job, relationships, sleep, health, and money. It can lead to risky behavior. It can be stressful for the people who care about you and aren't sure how to help or may not understand what's going on.
Suicidal Thinking
People with bipolar disorder are 10-20 times more likely to commit suicide than others. Warning signs include talking about suicide, putting their affairs in order, and doing very risky things. If you know someone who may be at risk, call one of these hotlines: 800-SUICIDE (800-784-2433) and 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255). If the person has a plan to commit suicide, call 911 or help them get to an emergency room immediately.
How Doctors Diagnose It
A key step is to rule out other possible causes of extreme mood swings, including other conditions or side effects of some medicines. Your doctor will give you a checkup and ask you questions. You may get lab tests, too. A psychiatrist usually makes the diagnosis after carefully considering all of these things. She may also talk to people who know you well to find out if your mood and behavior have had major changes.
Which Medicines Treat It?
There are several types of prescription drugs for bipolar disorder. They include mood stabilizers that prevent episodes of ups and downs, as well as antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. When they aren't in a manic or depressive phase, people usually take maintenance medications to avoid a relapse.
Talk Therapy for Bipolar Disorder
Counseling can help people stay on medication and manage their lives. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that accompany mood swings. Interpersonal therapy aims to ease the strain bipolar disorder puts on personal relationships. Social rhythm therapy helps people develop and maintain daily routines.
What You Can Do
Everyday habits can't cure bipolar disorder. But it helps to make sure you get enough sleep, eat regular meals, and exercise. Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs, since they can make symptoms worse. If you have bipolar disorder, you should learn what your "red flags" are -- signs that the condition is active -- and have a plan for what to do if that happens, so you get help ASAP.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
This treatment, done while you are "asleep" under general anesthesia, can rapidly improve mood symptoms of bipolar disorder. It uses an electric current to cause a seizure in the brain. It's one of the fastest ways to ease severe symptoms. ECT is often a safe and effective treatment option for severe mood episodes when medications have not led to meaningful symptom improvement. It's a safe and highly effective treatment.
Let People In
If you have bipolar disorder, you may want to consider telling the people you are closest to, like your partner or your immediate family, so they can help you manage the condition. Try to explain how it affects you and what you need. With their support, you may feel more connected and motivated to stick with your treatment plan.
Concerned About Someone?
Many people with bipolar disorder don't realize they have a problem or avoid getting help. If you think a friend or family member may have it, you may want to encourage them to talk with a doctor or mental health expert who can look into what's going on and start them toward treatment. Be sensitive to their feelings, and remember that it takes an expert to diagnose it. But if it is bipolar disorder, or another mental illness, treatment can help.

This opinion is on behalf of the editorial board: Publisher Margaret Buchanan, Editor Carolyn Washburn, and writers Cindi Andrews, Krista Ramsey and Julie Zimmerman.
Fixing the crumbling Western Hills Viaduct is one of the region's most pressing transportation needs. But as urgent as the need is, the project must be done right, which includes preserving options for public transportation in the future.
A transit option for the bridge would add money to an already expensive project, estimated at $240 million, that has only a fraction of the necessary funds committed to it. It is tempting to try to save money and build the bridge as cheaply as possible, but that would be shortsighted. Unlike a road that can be widened easily, a complex bridge project like the Western Hills Viaduct needs to last for 50 or more years.
Story: Could rail, bus lane be part of Western Hills Viaduct?
Study: Western Hills Viaduct one of nation's worst
Opinion: Fix viaduct with transit option, great design
In-Depth: Don't drive the viaduct? You'll still pay for it
While building transit right of way as part of the project could add considerably to the final bill, there is a cheaper solution: Build extra strength into the structure to accommodate future expansion. This would give planners the flexibility of not committing to a transit option right now but would allow for streetcar, bus rapid transit or light-rail lanes as the future of a regional system evolves.
The viaduct is an essential gateway to populous West Side neighborhoods. Most are residential, with few large employers, and as such they need to be connected to the city's jobs centers of Downtown and Uptown. Building the viaduct flexibly enough to accommodate changes in the way people commute would strengthen those neighborhoods far into the future. It would benefit West Side residents who can't afford a car, and it would also help attract current residents of the basin who may want a house with a yard someday but still stay close to Downtown.
Strengthening the structure for future expansion would allow the project to move ahead more quickly than waiting for full funding for extra lanes, and the Western Hills Viaduct is a project that must proceed as quickly as possible. More than 70,000 cars use it every day, and it's one of the 10 most-traveled, structurally deficient bridges in Ohio. It's reached the end of its useful life, and while experts say it's still safe, its crumbling concrete and exposed steel reinforce the urgent need to replace it.
Your say: Help redesign mass transit here
We encourage city planners and officials from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments to look at how transit across the viaduct would fit into local and regional transportation plans. Figuring out the plan now, as Cincinnati and Hamilton County seek funding for the viaduct's replacement and engineering studies are carried out, will save valuable time later. The Waldvogel and Eighth Street viaducts were rebuilt without transit; Western Hills is the last chance to connect the West Side and Downtown in a way that doesn't require a car.
It's impressive how neighborhood leaders from Price Hill and Westwood have come together with transit advocates to press for transit on the viaduct. Streetcar supporters have been accused of caring only about progress in Downtown and Over-the-Rhine, while many West Side residents felt neglected during the streetcar process.
That these groups could put those differences aside to collaborate on this issue is a model for how citizen groups can work together to improve the region for everyone.

Praise For…
Praise for God of All Creation
"I love that James did this book!"
—Beth Moore
"Who helps teach James Robison about the things of God? A theologian? A fellow Baptist preacher? A famous radio host? An important senator or governor? Would you believe it's a small miniature dachshund? In God of All Creation, James delightfully shares the profound truths his little Princess has shown him about life, love, and living with our Master."
—Ruth Graham, author of In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart and Fear Not Tomorrow, God Is Already There
"Scripture declares that nature offers us a glimpse into God's power and personality. In The God of All Creation, James Robison beautifully unveils what the creatures around you communicate about you and your Creator. Get ready for a wild adventure!"
—Lisa Bevere, speaker for Messenger International and author of Lioness Arising
"The lessons that James draws from the antics of his beloved mini-dach, Princess, are predictably heartwarming but unpredictably insightful. As a past owner myself of a pair of these preposterously shaped creatures (Harley Davidson and Maximus Decimus), I resonate with the truths James mines from their endearing behavior and the Word of God and am greatly encouraged. I think you will be too."
—Dr. E. Andrew McQuitty, senior pastor of Irving Bible Church, Irving, Texas
"James loves Jesus. James loves people. And now we have learned that James loves animals. This is a delightful, fun-loving, and, yes, touching read that will appeal to cold and warm noses alike!"
—Kathy Troccoli, recording artist, author, and speaker

Only one week after the conclusion of the second volume of âUltimate Comics Avengers,â the beginning of the third ships. Unlike the second volume where Mark Millar spent the first two issues introducing the new characters of the story arc, the Punisher and the first Hulk, he divides this issue in two to introduce us to Blade and Ray Connor, the new Daredevil, ending the issue with an obvious indication of what the plot of this volume is. Itâs a stronger way of beginning the story and definitely makes for a denser and more interesting first issue of an arc.
Despite the âcontroversyâ Millar created over this story line, it doesnât bear a lot of resemblance to whatâs going on in âX-Menâ beyond the use of vampires. The vampires here are somewhat generic and bland, showing up to offer Blade a truce with their new leader who has united the various vampire clans. Blade, of course, refuses and kills the entire lot of them. On a parallel course is Ray Connor, a teenager blinded in an accident and âsufferingâ from the same heightened senses as Matt Murdock. Heâs taken under Stickâs tutelage, dons the original Daredevil costume, and begins fighting crime.
Millar reigns himself in for Connorâs narration, while going all-out to establish Blade. The contrast gives the issue more tension with two characters that are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. This issue doesnât function as much more than an introduction to Blade and Connor, but it does both well. Blade kills vampires in a badass manner, while Connor goes from near-insane boy to confident urban vigilante. The interesting part is a twist near the end of the issue that spins the story in an unexpected direction and suggests why itâs titled âBlade versus the Avengers.â
The big letdown of the issue is the art. I love Steve Dillonâs art and was looking forward to his work on this story arc, but, together with inker Andy Lanning and colorist Matt Hollingsworth, heâs produced some of the weakest pages Iâve seen from him. Lanningâs inked lines give off a Phil Jimenez vibe that doesnât gel with Dillonâs line work. Lanning uses a very thin line that often disappears, causing Hollingsworth to overdo the coloring, giving much of the art a âcolored over the pencils directlyâ look. Dillonâs art is best when using strong, thicker line work, and whatâs on the page here is underwhelming. Note the blue-haired vampire in the opening pages that looks unfinished, even compared to his fellow vampires.
Still intact, thankfully, is Dillon compositions, facial expressions, and panel-to-panel flow. Those who thought that his style wouldnât work with Millar severely underrate his ability to convey bold, exciting action as Blade chasing a vampire through the streets after slaughtering his comrades is fantastic action art.
âUltimate Comics Avengers 3â gets off to a quicker start than the last arc with Millar introducing both Blade and the new Daredevil in this issue while setting up the premise of the arc with an unexpected twist at the end of the issue. This series of series continues to be fun and bold with Millar on his game.

Simple premise: hook up older broads with younger ones and let them have sex with each other.
Sounds good so far.
Sadly, the couplings are relatively generic and some of the older mamas have not held up very well with age.
Still, there are a couple of sets of huge fake boobs that will remind you of a bygone era. That, and Kat Kleevage has nipples the size of those silver dollar pancakes you used to be able to get at IHOP.
Retailing: Old broads mix it up with younger floozies.

Ozark October Mornings (ebook)
North Central Arkansas
by by Wayne Jex
These photos were taken over a two week period at the end of October 2012 in rural north central Arkansas, about a half hour drive from Jasper in newton County. It's a fairly isolated area. I was attending a two week Buddhist retreat at Katog Choling Mountain Retreat Center and every morning around dawn I would walk down a hill from where I was staying to the Center. The walk took about 20 minutes if I didn't stop to take a few photos, which I did every day. Early morning fog was common. The Fall colors weren't as bright as they usually are because of a drought. Nevertheless, there was beauty and peace every morning and I hope I captured some of that

Troubled Scottish Premier League club Hearts have been hit with an extended transfer embargo as punishment for their spell in administration.
A Scottish Football Association judicial panel imposed the ban on Thursday, leaving Hearts unable to sign new players aged 21 and over until February 1 next year.
The Edinburgh outfit were already banned from signing players following their entry into administration on June 19.
But Hearts, whose debt was this week revealed as almost £29 million (33.2 million euros), are now under an extended transfer embargo as a result of their continued financial problems.
Hearts were also hit with an automatic 15-point penalty in June and manager Gary Locke will be unable to immediately bring in experienced players if the club exits administration before the end of the January transfer window.
Joint-administrator Trevor Birch, who attended the judicial panel hearing at Hampden, was disappointed with the added sanction.
In a statement, he said: "The decision to impose a transfer embargo on players over 21 until the end of January is disappointing.
"Whilst I appreciate that the SFA rules state that clubs in administration will face sanctions, Hearts have already had a points deduction and player embargo - and it feels like we're being penalised twice.
"That said, these are the cards that we've been dealt and we'll now just have to get on with it.
"At least the decision gives us clarity and means that the bidders can move forward and focus their attention on refining their proposals rather than worrying about possible sanctions."
The SFA's decision not to punish Hearts with a financial penalty drew a stinging response from fallen Glasgow giants Rangers.
Rangers were hit with a fine and one-year transfer ban last season, the latter of which transferred to the new company after the Ibrox outfit went into liquidation and were relegated from the top-flight as punishment.
In a statement released on the club's website, Rangers chief executive Craig Mather said: "Rangers Football Club notes today's verdict by the Disciplinary Tribunal who ruled that Hearts cannot register any players over the age of 21 between now and February 1, 2014.
"We also recall that Dunfermline were given a similar sanction in May.
"But in particular, Rangers are aware of the glaring differences in the sanctions imposed on three clubs who entered administration.
"Our club, Rangers, was hit with a £50,000 fine and given a 12-month registration embargo.
"While no-one at this club wishes to see others fall on hard times, questions must be asked about these anomalies and we fully understand the rising anger among our fans.
"They are entitled to think there is one rule for our club and another for everyone else. We will be seeking clarification for our fans."
