Dodgers TV Row Fuels Unease Over Comcast-Time Warner Deal
A fee dispute between Time Warner Cable Inc. and its competitors that has left Los Angeles Dodgers games blacked out for most fans is threatening to undermine the merger of the nation's two largest cable-television companies.
The decision by Time Warner Cable to raise the rates for competitors to air the baseball games has met resistance from companies including AT&T Inc. and DirecTV. An analysis based on data from SNL Kagan found that Time Warner Cable is asking for more than double what other regional sports networks charge.
With federal regulators now taking an interest in why 70 percent of local pay-TV customers have been without access to Dodgers games for months, the standoff could trip up Comcast Corp. as it tries to complete its acquisition of Time Warner Cable. Concern that the combined company's heft would be wielded in a way that hurts competitors could lead regulators to block or impose conditions on the $42.5 billion merger.
"Sports fans are getting clobbered," said Hal Singer, a Washington-based economist with consulting firm Economists Inc. "Either you're denied access to the content because your distributor won't carry it at the ridiculous price, or you're forced to incur the switching costs" to change providers.
Sporting events are often used as a bargaining weapon like this because live contests are must-see programming and many customers will switch providers to view games, Singer said.
SportsNet LA
This is the first season Time Warner Cable, the second-largest U.S. cable company, has handled distribution of Dodgers programming for SportsNet LA, an entity created by the Dodgers ownership that includes Guggenheim Partners Chief Executive Officer Mark Walter and basketball hall-of-famer Magic Johnson. It's asking competitors to pay $3.84 a month per subscriber to air the games, according to data from SNL Kagan.
The three other regional sports networks tracked by SNL Kagan that aren't owned by Time Warner Cable charge a maximum of $1.84.
"SportsNet LA is available on fair terms consistent with its value," Andrew Fegyveresi, a spokesman for New York-based Time Warner Cable, said in an e-mail.
Regulators reviewing Comcast's acquisition of Time Warner Cable have the power to limit the enlarged company's ability to boost prices for sports programming.
That was the position Comcast found itself in three years ago when it was buying NBC Universal. Competitors including DirecTV, the largest U.S. satellite provider, had urged regulators to keep Comcast from unfairly withholding NBC shows, or charging unreasonably high rates.
Sports Withheld
The FCC required Comcast to submit to arbitration in case of a dispute. The condition was justified partly because Comcast had cut the satellite-TV share in its home market by withholding professional baseball, basketball and hockey programming, the FCC said.
Paul Gallant, a Washington-based analyst with Guggenheim Securities, predicts the Time Warner Cable deal will be approved, with a risk of "onerous conditions." Philadelphia-based Comcast is the largest U.S. cable company.
Kim Hart, an FCC spokeswoman, declined to comment.
The struggle over baseball in the second-largest U.S. media market provoked FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to weigh in. In a July 29 letter to Time Warner Cable Chief Executive Officer Rob Marcus, Wheeler said "your actions appear to have created the inability of consumers" to watch Dodgers games.
'Iconic Voice'
The letter suggests that Wheeler will demand limits on Comcast's power to squeeze other distributors over access to its sports channels, Gallant said in a note to clients.
Eight members of Congress wrote to Wheeler last month, asking the FCC to mediate the dispute. They said they wanted viewers to again hear announcer Vin Scully's "iconic voice."
"Hey, Time Warner, come on now: 30 percent of Los Angeles gets to watch the Dodgers through you and only you, and 70 percent don't," U.S. Representative Tony Cardenas, a letter-signer and Democrat who represents California's San Fernando Valley, said in an interview.
The purchase of Time Warner Cable would give Comcast "an incredibly dominant position" because of its control of programming and subscribers, Cardenas said.
While lawmakers don't have a direct say in reviews of corporate acquisitions, they can influence the agencies vetting the deals by holding hearings, conducting investigations, and controlling appointments and budgets.
Winning Season
Dodger TV fans are missing a winning season. The team is leading the National League Western Division, with the help of stellar performances by pitcher Clayton Kershaw and outfielder Yasiel Puig. It's also leading the National and American leagues in attendance, with 2.8 million fans so far this year.
As the blackout drags on, some viewers are circulating petitions calling for an end to the impasse.
"Fans aren't happy," Ernest Reyes, a Los Angeles-based financial consultant who in his spare time writes the Blue Heaven fan blog.
Optimism about ending the blackout is low, he said.
"At this point in the season, it almost seems like a lost cause," Reyes said.
Retired Los Angeles resident Rodges Lawton Jr. said he watches Dodgers games at sports bars and over the Internet rather than get Time Warner Cable.
The Dodgers "should have made it clear that LA Sportsnet is for all of Los Angeles and not just a Time Warner commodity," Lawton said by e-mail. "The fans are being held hostage."
Reduced Forecast
Steve Brener, a Dodgers spokesman, declined to comment.
Asked whether satellite customers have moved to Time Warner to get SportsNet LA, Marcus on a July 31 earnings call said, "I guess you can make that connection."
On the same call, Time Warner said it reduced its earnings forecast because it hadn't struck deals for SportsNet LA.
DirecTV, with more than 1 million Los Angeles customers, doesn't want to force the fee for Dodgers games on all subscribers, Dan York, the company's chief content officer, said in an interview.
Comcast said FCC rules requiring fair access to programming, along with the arbitration conditions, address "theoretical" concerns about unfairly wielding regional sports during negotiations and not specific practices by the company.
'Competitive Arena'
"Comcast/NBCUniversal bargains fairly for carriage of sports programming, which is an extremely competitive arena," Sena Fitzmaurice, a spokeswoman in Washington, said by e-mail.
By buying Time Warner Cable, Comcast gains entry to the biggest U.S. media market, New York, as well as No. 2 Los Angeles. The company would grow by 7 million subscribers, to 29 million residential video customers. Comcast would assume Time Warner Cable's role with the Dodgers and get two sports networks, one in English and one in Spanish, that cover the National Basketball Association's Lakers team.
In New York, Comcast's minority ownership share of SportsNet New York, which shows the baseball Mets and is controlled by the team, would grow.
Sports Bundles
Comcast could bundle the sports programming with its WNBC TV station, giving it power to charge higher prices to New Yorkers subscribing to rivals, law professors Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu, candidates for governor and lieutenant governor of New York State, said in a filing.
Kevin Sornatale, a spokesman for SportsNet New York, declined to comment.
Regional sports networks owned by a cable company demand higher prices than those that are independent, and the tendency increases with the size of the cable company's customer base, within the team's TV market, Singer said.
Competitors are watching, warily.
"Comcast will have a new incentive to charge its rivals more for regional sports" as it gains subscribers in more areas and sees more opportunities for revenue, Ross Lieberman, senior vice president of government affairs at the American Cable Association, a Pittsburgh-based trade group for smaller rivals to Comcast, said in an interview.
Pricing Power
The combined company may use a threat of withholding programs when negotiating, Lieberman said. The tactic has especially sharp teeth where Comcast controls regional sports, a local NBC station and national programming.
"When you can pull all that programming at the same time, you're able to inflict more harm," Lieberman said.
Regulators may not be worried by Comcast's command of more sports programming unless they find it would raise prices, said Herb Hovenkamp, an antitrust professor at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
"Making companies bigger doesn't ordinarily result in higher prices," he said. "Eliminating competition can, but because cable companies don't usually compete in the same areas the merger doesn't eliminate very much head-to-head competition."
Comcast has told Congress that having more regional sports doesn't give it more leverage over rivals.
The competitive dynamic today for Time Warner Cable negotiating sports-network deals "will be exactly the same" for Comcast, David Cohen, executive vice president, said at an April hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"We're not going to have any more power in the L.A. market to negotiate different deals because we also own regional sports nets in Chicago and Philadelphia and the Washington area," Cohen said.
That notion isn't universally accepted.
"Sports is one of the largest cudgels Comcast has, and they just use it every way they can," said Susan Crawford, a former White House aide and a Bloomberg View columnist whose book "Captive Audience" uses Comcast's purchase of NBC Universal as a lens to examine the telecommunications market. "And now with the merger they're going to be able to do that on a larger scale."

Boston Bomb Suspect's Friend Convicted of Obstruction
A college friend of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted of hindering a terrorism probe in the first trial stemming from the attack about three months before Tsarnaev's case goes before a jury.
A federal panel of seven men and five women in Boston today found Azamat Tazhayakov, 20, guilty of obstruction and conspiracy to obstruct justice for removing a backpack from the suspect's dorm room. The jury, after 15 hours of deliberations over three days, found Tazhayakov didn't take a laptop computer as prosecutors alleged.
"You don't have to convict on every count to have a win for law enforcement," said Michael Kendall, a former federal prosecutor in Boston who's now a defense lawyer at McDermott Will & Emery LLP and isn't involved in the case. The verdict "captured the essence of what they were trying to prosecute."
Tazhayakov faces as long as 20 years in prison when he's sentenced on Oct. 16. Two other former students who were friends with Tsarnaev and who visited his dorm with Tazhayakov are set to be tried separately -- one for obstruction and the other for lying to investigators. Tsarnaev, 20, faces a possible death penalty if a jury finds him guilty at a trial scheduled to start Nov. 3 in Boston.
Incriminating Bag
Tazhayakov was charged with conspiring to take Tsarnaev's laptop and a bag containing fireworks casings, a thumb drive and Vaseline, used in bomb construction, from the dorm in the hours after federal investigators released surveillance images of him and three days after the bombing.
His trial included six days of testimony from federal agents and Tsarnaev's former roommate, a key government witness.
Tazhayakov, wearing a dark blue suit and tie, put his head in his hands and shook his head from side to side after the verdict was read out. His mother, seated nearby, wept loudly.
Prosecutors claim Tazhayakov, who was in the U.S. on a student visa from Kazakhstan, was motivated by his friendship with Tsarnaev, a U.S. citizen originally from Russia's Dagestan region. Both men are Muslim and speak Russian.
"We are tremendously gratified by the jury's decision," U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said outside court.
Tazhayakov told federal agents that he and his friend took the items and threw some of them away, prosecutors said. The backpack was later retrieved from a landfill.
Salesman Juror
Juror Daniel Antonino, a salesman from Duxbury, Massachusetts, said it was clear Tazhayakov had taken the backpack to "get rid of evidence," while the situation surrounding the laptop appeared to have mere financial motives.
"The laptop was taken, we felt, more as a valuable item -- we're taking this because it's worth $500 to $600, whatever it's worth," Antonino said outside court today. "They didn't destroy it in any way."
Tsarnaev, 20, is accused of carrying out the terrorist attack in retaliation for the U.S. military's killing of Muslim civilians. The double-bombing near the marathon's finish line on April 15, 2013, killed three people and injured 260.
Dias Kadyrbayev, Tazhayakov's housemate who is also from Kazakhstan, is charged with taking the laptop and backpack. Robel Phillipos, a U.S. citizen, is accused of lying about what he knew about the visit. None of the three men are accused of assisting in the attack or knowing about it in advance.
Tsarnaev and the three friends charged in the case all attended the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.
Defense lawyer Matthew Myers said after court today that he'd seek "the most lenient sentence possible" for his client.
"It's a brutal day for all of us -- somewhat of a surprising verdict," Myers said. "It's difficult to try a case in this culture. We have to respect the verdict but we'll press on with the motions we have to make."
Text Message
Four FBI agents and a Homeland Security investigator testified during the trial that Tazhayakov told them in unrecorded interviews that he and his housemate took the items after Kadyrbayev got a text message from Tsarnaev saying, "take anything you want," coupled with a smiley face.
Myers had argued that the federal agents shouldn't be believed because they hadn't taken notes during their interrogation of Tazhayakov or recorded the interview.
The defense also urged jurors not to find Tazhayakov guilty "by association" with Tsarnaev or prejudge him because he's Muslim.
Federal agents testified Tazhayakov knew months before the bombing that Tsarnaev believed radical Islamic martyrs "go to heaven with a smile on their face" and revealed to friends that he knew how to make a bomb.
Brother Killed
Tsarnaev is accused of carrying out the bombing with his brother Tamerlan, who was killed in a police shootout.
The defense called no witnesses during the trial and said agents constructed their case based on alleged statements by Kadyrbayev and purposely didn't record interviews with Tazhayakov or ask him to sign a statement.
Tazhayakov's lawyers said he was coerced into giving statements after he was restrained, kept shirtless and not allowed to use the bathroom until he signed a form waiving his rights. U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock rejected that argument and ruled his statements were made voluntarily.
The case is U.S. v. Kadyrbayev, 13-cr-10238, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston). The Tsarnaev case is U.S. v. Tsarnaev, 13-cr-10200, also in Boston federal court.

100 Best Gluten-Free Recipes – Carol Fenster – Love It!September 5th, 2010 at 1:17 pm by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
The first 20 or so pages provide some helpful tips or reminders about different Gluten Free Grains and Flours, Savvy Label Reading and Gluten Free Brand Recommendations. The book has five chapters that start with Breakfast and end with Desserts!
So I tried one of the recipes yesterday morning because I just wanted something to enjoy with my coffee. It was a rainy, cool Saturday morning ... What could be better than something homemade that you would normally get at a bakery?
I must confess ... I have never made scones before so I thought this was a good challenge. The recipe that caught my eye was Cranberry-Orange Scones with Orange Glaze. I can not have Cranberries (allergic ... ugh ... love them ...) so I thought ... what do I love almost as much ... if not more than cranberries that goes really well with orange ... DARK CHOCOLATE!
Carol Fenster's - Cranberry-Orange Scones with Orange Glaze
or Dark Chocolate- Orange Scone with Orange Glaze ... as pictured.
|I love my Microplane!
1 tablespoon of orange zest
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup of granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
1/2 cup of milk of choice
1 1/2 of *Carol's Sorghum Blend (pg.4)
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon guar gum
1 teaspoon salt
1 - 2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup of powdered sugar
1. Place rack in middle of the oven. Pre-heat to 375 degrees. Grease 13x9 non stick grey baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
|Cooling on parchment paper and rack.
|Now this I can eat! Dark Chocolate-Orange Scone with Orange Glaze.
5. Make the glaze. In a small bowl, stir the orange juice into the powdered sugar to create a smooth thin glaze. Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze onto the warm scones. Serve immediately.
*Carol's Sorghum Flour Blend - 1 1/2 cups sorghum flour, 1 1/2 cups of potato starch or cornstarch, 1 cup of tapicoa. Wisk together until well blended and store in a tightly covered container in a dark dry place for up to 3 months. (See page 14 for more info.)
The scones were the best I have ever had. I have never really been a big fan of scones but when you are Gluten Free and it is the only thing offered in a bakery I will get them. This scone was the perfect blend of crunchy, citrus-sweet outside and surprisingly soft inside but not Gluten Free gummy! It had great nooks and crannies for the glaze to just ooze into and puddle for that perfect bite of Dark Chocolate and Fresh Sweet Orange Bread. They were even better the next day because I stored them in a air tight container after they cooled on the rack. The 3/4 cup of Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips are the perfect amount for every bite! I think Enjoy Life has the best Dark Chocolate flavor and love the small, cute chips!
There are so many recipes I want to try from Carol's book but I wanted to get this review out as soon as possible. Just to give you an idea of some of the recipes I am going to try soon - Soft Pretzels, Corn Dogs (on a stick!), Ice Cream Cones, Pork Carnitas in a Slow Cooker, Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms ... actually I want to try them all. The pictures are great and the recipes are so simple to follow. I highly recommend this book as a 2010 holiday gift this season - Shop at Amazon.com. Your Gluten Free friend or family member will thank you! Why not put it on your wish list!
As as sidenote if you are trying to stay away from sugar, I would use local honey or palm sugar. The ratio is 1-1.
A Grandfather's Legacy For His Celiac GrandkidsSeptember 2nd, 2010 at 10:47 am by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
So from that moment on the entire Komarnitsky family has been learning and living Gluten Free.
It has been almost a decade that Dirk, now 12 and younger brother, Kyle now 9, have shared a bond of living Gluten Free. Alek and Wendy realized that Kyle showed similar symptoms as a baby and were able to start him on a Gluten Free meal plan immediately. The family has learned to read labels, even the boys help out when dad forgets to bring his reading glasses into the grocery store. The boys know to ask about food before they consume it. Wendy, mother and Betsy, grandmother, have learned to cook and bake without Gluten so that the boys could live a normal life in and out of school with friends and family.
Alek and his wife also dove into learning everything they could about Celiac disease when Dirk was diagnosed. They found Dr. Fasano at the University of Maryland Celiac Research Center and have been doing quite a bit of fundraising to help increase awareness and research. Alek created a website - "Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease" , which has raised over $40,000 for Celiac Research.
This story has an unfortunate turn, Alek continued to tell me that his father Oleg Komarnitsky, passed away a few days ago unexpectedly. Oleg was a resident of Bellevue, WA for over 30 years. Oleg and his wife Betsy have been supporters of the Celiac Disease Research since the diagnosis of their grandsons. They have asked that in lieu of flowers that people please donate to the University of Maryland Research Center for Celiac Disease to help find a cure for his grandkids.
Alek and his family were in Bellevue in August and had a wonderful time with Oleg and Betsy. Oleg's love to fix things will always be a lasting memory. Most recently, Oleg found a kitt-car and fixed it up so the boys could race up and down the hills in Bellevue. They all had a wonderful time and as always enjoyed Betsy's Gluten Free treats during this most recent trip. Alek wanted to share this story about his family with me because as he said, " My Dad would do anything to help find a cure for his grandkids and as you know, increasing awareness is a very good thing, since Celiac is often undiagnosed."
See a heartfelt memorial site and tribute from Oleg's family including more info about how to make a donation and offer your thoughts to the Komarnitsky family.
The picture above is from the Komarnitsky memorial site and is of Oleg, Betsy, Dirk and Kyle during a rare Bellevue snow storm.
Oleg Komarnitsky was born on September 2, 1938.

10 things you should know about sea level rise and how bad it could be
Prof. Nerem contributed to this piece in the Washington Post:
"10 things you should know about sea level rise and how bad it could be"
Correction: New GMSL release and Jason-2 Switch to Side-B Platform Module
In this previous blog post, we incorrectly stated that Jason-2 had switched to the side B altimeter. In fact, only the processing chain (also known as the Platform Module) had switched to side B hardware. The actual altimeter instrument is still on side A.
As our FAQ states, we release new GMSL estimates as the Jason-2 GDR products are produced upstream by the French processing center AVISO. Cycles 170-172 were released by AVISO on May 9-10, and we released 2013_rel4 of our GMSL time series on May 15. Jason-2 did have two recent safe-hold periods during cycles 174 and 175, and these cycles will have impacted data. After the second safe-hold, Jason-2 automatically switched to its redundnat Platform Module-B. The operations team decided to leave Jason-2 operating on Platform Module-B, and no adverse effects have yet been noted to the science data.

I'm running a WordPress blog on a server that automatically caches all files for 15 minutes. The caching is necessary for the other projects that are running on there, so it cannot be turned off. So now I have to wait 15 minutes every time I change some setting in WP-admin to see the result...
Of course this can be easily manipulated with a random GET variable at the end of the url. wp-admin.php?random123
This will be very confusing and irritating to the editors of the blog.
Anybody have any advice?
I am just a simple web designer and I have no real administrator access to the server's settings.

I don't think LSU will win this time.I think it was a bad call when they called an interception on the last game. Roll Tide!!!
LSU did not win the BCS Title Game, but as many ESPN Analysts and Associated Press writers stated, the Title Game was an isolated event. The LSU Tigers were the BEST TEAM in collegiate football in the 2011 season. Their body of work far exceeded the Tide's, and completed the season as the SEC Champions when 13-0. There were NO other teams in 2011 that beat nine ranked teams. Historically, the BEST!

IWD is proud to share with you the recent launch of BitX Funding's redesigned website. When BitX Funding came to us, they had an existing website that wasn't meeting their needs. They were looking for a site that instilled trust with their prospective customers, as well as automated lead capturing, and a streamlined digital application process. The site needed to be mobile friendly with a professional, modern-branded design. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) was also a priority for BitX.
Our first step was to look at the existing site's information architecture, and map out how it could be improved upon. We added additional content pages to help explain their products and services to the viewer – and the search engines. Page ranking would be imperative in helping them achieve their goal; a site that generates more leads.
Next we designed a BitX-branded site that exudes trust, and developed it responsively so any viewer – no matter the size screen they are using – could navigate and read the site easily. We automated their lead-capturing process and connected their website forms by using Nimble, a third party CRM system. We divided their current online application into a multi-step process simplifying the information gathering stage and making it more user-friendly. With the addition of a progress bar, the customer can see how much of the form they have completed.
When a new prospect fills out this online application, their information is automatically added to the email marketing system. This allows BitX to nurture that relationship and remain in contact with them.

Jennifer Aniston: Her Allure Photo Shoot
Jennifer Aniston hung out with friends—and ate her vegetables—during her shoot with photographer Michael Thompson in New York City. See outtakes here, and for our exclusive interview with Aniston, pick up the February issue of Allure, on newsstands January 25.
One hairstyle Aniston never wants to replicate? The Rachel. She told writer Danielle Pergament, "I love Chris, and he's the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen."

I fail to see what "champloo" stands for, in that title… Mixing heroines like mixing ingredients in Okinawan cuisine ? Or an obscure reference to the anime Samurai Champloo ? No idea O_o
On the other hand, the doujin could have been called "apple green combine harvester", I wouldn't have cared less, anyway, this is a fap'n'go doujin simply showing lucky Ryu having sex with Cammy and Sakura, period ^^
So, if you love Bakuretsu Fusen's drawing style (juicy female bodies, curved backs, great doggy in vaginal and anal, big breasts, happy brainless sex), go for it, this is a highly enjoyable doujin
And thanks to Doujin-Moe's Raikoh and Yuribou !
A last note ? Because of the most fucked up detail ever seen in this old Bakuretsu Fusen Street Fighter hentai doujin, I couldn't help myself, I read the present doujin (same artist, also Street fighter !) while carefully counting the hands on the pictures, to make sure the fucking up didn't come back ^^
By Bakuretsu Fusen, I also share lots of other stuff : Spiral Staircase, Kasou Ryouiki (Ritsuko anal hentai, HNNNNN), Kakuu Shoujo, Mugen Kairou Eternal Gallery, Dual Wing, Max Heart (quite average), a better Ayanami Tokka Shiki (way better), a Street Fighter doujin with a wonderfully fucked up detail, Denkuchi Buru Makkusu, Occult Academy and a Fate Hallow Ataraxia doujin.

I don't regard myself as particularly interested in English language and usage, but it is undeniable that I've often discussed them with friends.
I used to think my friends and I spent way too much time arguing details, but the experts on English StackExchange definitely have taken that to a new level. I do appreciate the good advice sprinkled throughout by the less ego-driven, well-meaning contributors.

As human activities increasingly threaten the ecosystems on which they depend, one of the main questions our societies are facing is related to the resilience – seen as a necessary element of sustainability – of social–ecological systems (SESs). SESs are composed of many heterogeneous elements including human actors such as institutions and resource users, and natural components such as land patches, animal species, etc. The numerous relationships between these different entities shape complex, dynamic networks of social–ecological interdependencies. Once described as networks, SESs can be analysed using a variety of network metrics, which may potentially help to better quantify and evaluate the resilience of SESs to external or internal perturbations. In this paper, we provide a broad overview of the latest progress in network theory as applied to SESs and discuss how network metrics may be used to assess the sustainability of an SES.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Feb 06th, 2013
Running Time: 196 Min.
Directors: Mark Wood, Francesca Lé
Company: LeWood Productions
Distribution Companies: Buttman Magazine Choice, Evil Angel
DVD Extras: Biography(ies), Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Mark Wood, Francesca Lé, Remy LaCroix
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Anal, Star Showcase
The perverted porn team of American Latina MILF Francesca Lé and her husband, well-hung porn stud Mark Wood, manage to fulfill their twisted fantasies with their cameras running. In their latest LeWood production, "Remy LaCroix's Anal Cabo Weekend," Francesca and Mark act as horny tour guides in the Mexican resort city for their gorgeous, new plaything—adorably perky, young beauty Remy. Little Miss LaCroix accompanies her sexy mentors on an action-packed, sun-soaked vacation south of the border, and the two experienced swingers enjoy every opportunity to ravish her perfect, all-natural body, both separately and as a threesome.
Married and perverted couple Mark Wood and Francesca Lé take Best New Starlet Remy LaCroix to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for sunning, funning and ass play. There's a lot of fun interview segments, with Wood getting teased for not being a morning person, and they are all excited and happy to travel together. LaCroix even shows her tits and cooch off in an Alaska Airlines plane bathroom.
Lé and LaCroix play in the ocean and then give Wood a fine POV blowjob. LaCroix and Lé intend to clean up the jizz all over their mugs but they end up doing each other instead. Lé eats out young LaCroix masterfully.
LaCroix uses a pretty bejeweled ass plug to ready herself for Wood's cock, and the anal as hyped in the title of this is pretty great. LaCroix's ass gapes really wide when Wood fucks her. LaCroix hula hoops on the beach in the sun and gives some fierce, beautiful tease before they all jet-ski. Fun!
Sweet LaCroix gets MILF Lé off hard with some oral before a post-nap anal three-way.

I like the Mustang better than the Firestorm. :D
I'm wondering why Towerhobbies doesn't stock any Losi items? This Desert Truck could have been a good buy if only Tower had stocks for it.
I'm not that sure, but I think these bodies would be a good fit for the E-firestorm. Anyone can correct me if I'm mistaken. ;)
Thank you DARKWAV for the comprehensive response. I'll see if I can order some from Towerhobbies soon.
Hi guys. It has been advertised that the E-Firestorm is brushless ready. I have the red one with everything stock. I would like to shift to brushless soon, but I'd like to assume that I don't need...
Thank you. I've ran my Firestorm over sand, rocks, and pavement and done some mini jumps over curbs and doing those have left me satisfied with what my kit has done so far. ;)
Here's my own E Firestorm. All stock but I'm loving it. ;)
Many thanks. From what I've been reading elsewhere, it does seem that the TA05 is the clear favorite compared to any of HPI's similarly designed chasses.
1. How does HPI's Sprint 2 sport kits compare with TA05 stock kits? Which is better and why?
2. What hop ups are already included in a basic TA05 kit?
I just had my TT01 hopped up with ball bearings, adjustable upper arms, a turnbuckle tie-rod set, CVA oil-filled cylinders, and an aluminum shaft, BUT it is still not driving straight. [:@] AARGH! ...
Thanks for the input. It's a good thing you mentioned the turnbuckle tie-rod set as I recently ordered it through Tower. ;)
My TT01 car kit has this tendency to steer to the right even if I'm speeding straight. I tried to make adjsutments to the controller's steering trim by rotating the button more to the opposite side....
Wow! Many thanks. Cheers for the TT01! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
Many thanks! I also inspected my chassis for noticeable cracks and I haven't found any except for the scratches that come with the usual driving on road.
Just how durable is the TT01 chassis? The reason why I'm asking is I accidentally slammed my kit (at top stock motor speed!) on the road sidewalk and I saw it jump to as high as one feet after...
Thank you very much. Actually, I just ordered the following from Towerhobbies and I think they are on their way:
1. TT01 Tie rod turnbuckle set
2. Adjustable upper arm for TT01
3. CVA Mini...
I have a TT01 chassis. I'm not looking to race the kit, as I only want to drive it around the parking area. However, I still would like to add hop up parts to improve the over all quality of the...
I have a TT01 chassis. I don't want to race, but I still would like to upgrade or hop it up. What hop up parts are good if I'm looking to only improve the over all quality of my chassis without...
Thanks for the info. Cheers! ;)
I'm a newbie. I don't have the time to search the TT01 thread because it has gone way too long already. I have some questions regarding my RC batteries. I'm using a 7.2V 1600mAh battery for my...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 4, 2013)--The actor who plays Jesus in the History Channel miniseries "The Bible" admits he panicked when he got the part.
Diogo Morgado told the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Tenn., on the first of five weekends the 10-part series airs that he wondered, "How can you play Jesus Christ? How can you play the son of God? - You can't."
Morgado said just speaking the words of Jesus was a privilege that he's "still digesting."
The first two hours of "The Bible," starting in Genesis, were broadcast Sunday night on the History Channel and the rest will be shown each Sunday night this month, wrapping up on Easter Sunday.

Ashlee Simpson in Double Denim
Ashlee Simpson was seen hitting the beach in Malibu, California over the weekend. She was with her husband Pete Wentz and their baby son Bronx. It looks like Ashlee met up with some friends as well. She was wearing a double denim outfit for the outing. She chose a light wash denim shirt with a pair of darker wash denim shorts. I really like this outfit! I think it's cute!
True to Ashlee's look, she styled her denim with a quirky hat and dark sunglasses. This is one of my favourite outfits of Ashlee's actually, I really like how comfortable and pretty it looks. Ashlee also looks like she is a really fun and hands on mum. Bronx's smile is so cheeky! Please click this blog post to view more images.
Ashley Tisdale in Easy Money Cargo Pants
Ashley Tisdale has jumped on board the cargo pants bandwagon! She opted for a not so popular pair though, Easy Money Coin skinny cargo pants in Olive. She paired them with sandals, a cute neutral top and cardigan which she accessorized with a brown purse and sunglasses. I am glad Ashley likes cargo pants! She would look great in the Rich & Skinny Aloe cargo leggings, those are gorgeous!
Ashley was with her friend and co star Aly Michalka, they were both waiting for a flight at LAX with their adorable doggies. I assume we wont be seeing anymore candids of Ashley for a while again as it looks like she is heading out of the US. She only went back to LA to do some promotion for Hellcats. Darn! Buy these pants at Revolve for $125.
Penn Badgley in 7 For All Mankind
Penn Badgley was spotted with a camera shy Blake Lively for a stroll in New York. Penn was wearing his 7 For All Mankind cut offs again. He wore his cut offs this time with a gunmetal colored shirt and another pair of brightly colored shoes. I wonder if the stylist of Gossip Girl started to incorporate the actor's personal styles into the show? Or if they are inspired by their on-duty wardrobe? Some of their outfits lately seem to look as though they just got off the set or just went to shooting after their arrival. Blake was also wearing The T by Joe's.
It must be really annoying to have the paparazzi follow you all the time, as you can see on Penn's face. I'm sure I would be giving a stanky face all the time too, if they were following me. You can next catch Penn in his new movie Easy A, which is a modern take on the book "The Scarlet Letter."
Leighton Meester in Ksubi
Yeah! Another fashionable celebrity pairing their denim with sneakers. This time it is one of my favorites, Leighton Meester. She was spotted making her way through human traffic in New York wearing a pair of Ksubi Spray On Skinny Zip Jeans Luxury Dirt and Nike Dunks. It is nice to see her wear sneakers. It is the complete opposite of Blair Waldorf.
These jeans are such a great fit on Leighton. They are the perfect length on her. I also like the wash. It is like a faded blue mixed with a bit of gray. I think she has such a great style both personally and on the red carpet. It is feminine yet there is a tomboyish comfort to it. Much like Ellen Page, but more feminine.

Jun 1, 2014One of the critics compared this to "Blue Valentine," which is ridiculous. In the latter film, Michelle William and Ryan Gosling make you care about what happens to the couple. (Admittedly, it's sad.) In this one, you figure out how their little melodrama should end way before the lead characters do.
Dec 11, 2011I'm getting to the gist of it. It was a horrible movie that just wouldn't end and when it did it was like a big giant middle finger. The first 30 minutes was beautiful and then it became a repetitive cycle of awkward, stupid, and mind numbing. This movie was anything but awe-inspiring. If you decide to watch it despite warnings at least buy a big bucket of popcorn... you'll need it.
Feb 23, 2012They have the same phone. And that's what my unconscious mind was thinking whilst my conscious mind was being bored to death. She's hot thouugh so that's what the one point is for.
Awards & Rankings
Felicity Jones shines in Drake Doremus' deceptively simple romance, a refreshing take on an age-old dilemma.
If you're making a movie that purports to be about real love, at the very least, you have to make the audience care whether the lovers work out their problems.
Yelchin doesn't generate the same warmth or passion that Jones does. That is partly by design, as this whole affair was her idea, after all.

Pacific School of Religion celebrates election of alumna Rev. Dr. Karen Oliveto as the United Methodist Church's first openly gay Bishop
This Friday, the Western Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church elected the Rev. Dr. Karen Oliveto to the office of Bishop. This marks an historic moment in the history of the United Methodist Church since the denomination forbids ordaining "practicing, self-avowed homosexuals."
Rev. Dr. Oliveto has long-standing ties to Pacific School of Religion, beginning with earning her Master of Divinity at the seminary in 1980. She has since served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and as an adjunct faculty member in the area of United Methodist Studies. PSR's Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion honored Rev. Dr. Oliveto with a Leading Voice award this May.
Rev. Dr. Oliveto currently serves as senior pastor of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. She was recently a lead author of the #CalledOut letter, in which more than one hundred United Methodist clergy came out as LGBTQ.
Rev. Dr. David Vásquez-Levy, President of Pacific School of Religion, noted: "We are delighted by the news of the election of the Rev. Dr. Karen Oliveto to serve as a Bishop in the United Methodist Church. Having had the opportunity to be instrumental in her preparation for ministry and to partner with her in the formation of leaders for the United Methodist Church, the PSR community celebrates this moment of hopefulness for the church. The Rev. Dr. Oliveto brings to the office of Bishop the leadership, vision, and courage that are critical to this moment for our world and our church. Our prayers are with her, the community at Glide where she has served faithfully, and with the broader church as she responds to a call that will also demand much from her. We pray also for wisdom and God's guidance for the church in the days ahead, that we may be able to celebrate the calling of someone whose gifts are so evident and needed."
Building on a long tradition of boldness, PSR is committed to the preparation of leaders for the church and to resourcing congregations as they faithfully engage the world. Explore our website to learn more about our work and explore the resources of PSR's Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion.

To the Editor:
—Your articles "The Art and Practice of Medical Writing" were instructive and entertaining. In them I did not see any reference to the growing tendency to use nouns as adjectives. Dr. W. W. Keen called this usage to our attention several years ago. He strongly deprecated it."Heart stimulant, lung surgery, stomach disease" and others seem to be with us to stay. In one of our foremost surgical journals I recently read of the "vessel lumen" being smaller. I have never seen "femur fracture" in print, but I am awaiting its appearance with confidence.

The reelection campaign of Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (D-N.Y.) has agreed to pay a $63,000 civil fine for a series of campaign finance violations, including charging the costs of a personal trainer to his campaign.
In an agreement with the Federal Election Commission released Tuesday, the Meeks for Congress committee acknowledged "using campaign funds to pay for personal expenses of the congressman; misstating financial activity; receiving contributions that exceeded the act's limits and source prohibitions; and failing to keep proper records of operating expenditures and contributions made to other political committees."
Among the violations, the FEC found that Meeks' campaign spent more than $6,200 on a personal trainer for the congressman. Meeks has repaid his campaign committee for the personal trainer, although he and his campaign staffers said he was not aware the campaign was picking up the tab. Reelection campaigns are prohibited from paying a lawmaker's personal expenses.
Meeks also repaid his committee for more than $9,800 in "vehicle lease payments and repairs" that was found to be improperly charged to the campaign. Meeks could not prove the vehicle was used for any campaign activities.
