Speaking to us under the condition of anonymity, porn industry insider "Brennan Hart" has been working along side the top names in gay porn for several decades.
As California legislators attempt to ban bareback porn filming, Hart has given us his personal opinion on the current state of the gay porn industry and whether or not this industry should promote safe sex in their films.
By Brennan Hart
I started as some sort of gay porn gadfly back in the days when most watched it on VHS. I've reviewed, I've interviewed, I've written, I've been on sets, I've advised so many great porn stars, celebrated their amazing successes and kept their secrets. I've also been around so long that no changes in gay porn surprise me anymore.
Perhaps that's why Steve Pena asked me to write this article. It all started when Steve asked his fans if they preferred bareback or condom porn. I sent him a private joking reply, but Steve saw beyond the easy laugh and challenged me to turn it into an article, seeking an opinion rarely sought.
Right up front, I must say that these are just my opinions. I'm not qualified to discuss medical developments in the current STD landscape or the psychological effects of porn on viewers. I do not speak on behalf of any company, any blog, any website. I am just someone who has seen voluminous changes in the gay porn industry while inside it and is pretty unshockable.
The whole point of this article is to address the condom versus bareback issue on a purely pornographic level. I cannot avoid bumping against some more emotional issues, but I want people to focus on the porn itself, not larger social or medical issues.
Okay? We're all on the same page?
Do I prefer bareback or condom porn? Honestly, I love both. If it can get me hard quickly, I'll watch it. That's the truth. And since the scenes don't usually start with fucking, I often won't know if I'm watching bareback or condom porn until I'm back from cleaning up the jizz that comes after roughly 32 seconds.
Can that be one of the central arguments here? That porn is porn and there is something out there to please everyone? That all you have to do is simply turn it on?
When asked "is there a future for condoms in gay porn?" there is only one answer: yes, of course. It will not disappear completely. As more studios convert to bareback porn, it seems likely that any company strictly filming gay porn with condoms is going to face serious challenges, but there are many smart people out there and they will survive this too. Fuck, if porn has survived HD, it can survive anything.
However, I do firmly believe there is more to the issue than how a person feels about condom usage, and these possible issues come from years of observation:
Mix and Match:
Take a look at Falcon offerings. If you buy a DVD of any recent Falcon title, the discs have bonus scenes on them from Falcon's glorious archives. Not all are from the bareback era, but for those who like Falcon and want to see some bareback action, it's all here in one disc. A DVD can have a few of each and on a website, even more is possible. Many studios do it already. One of the studios I've recently noted turning in more and more outstanding work is TimTales. Why not mix and match? They have both condom and bareback porn and in one notorious scene, both! All of it is very hot. Those who want only condom or only bareback may not be so easily swayed, but at least the studios are showing they actively consider what their viewers want. Can viewers meet them halfway?
Filming Quality:
I'll be blunt here: too many filmmakers lack the skill or creativity in shooting porn for condoms on or off to make much difference. If a cameraman or director cannot get close enough to the action, has no concept of lighting or can do it in only one position, what the fuck does it matter who is wearing what? You can't see the dick in the ass, let alone what's on the dick. Change to bareback has come very quickly and I honestly feel that the filming skills to shoot it properly are lagging way behind. Why? I have no idea. They managed it better when they were shooting on tape with cameras the size of trees.
I credited Falcon earlier, but now I have to knock the venerable studio for a truly terrible idea, though one that showed an attempt to bridge the gap while sitting on a fencepost shoved way deep in its ass. Falcon decided to take one of its big movies and make it seem bareback by editing out the condoms. There was no pretending it was bareback, not even a hint of it, so no one was misled. We were simply supposed to believe that some editor went blind digitally removing the condom from every frame. Blogs went wild both knocking and supporting Falcon. This idea seems to have flopped, but they tried. I applaud anyone who tries something new.
That reminds me…a very long time ago, a friend long out of the business was telling me how he and a scene partner were so turned on by each other, they wanted it to feel real. So, the guys, by mutual decision, tore the heads off the condoms and were conscious of when the camera was up close enough to see it, meaning they couldn't pull out fully. I hadn't thought about that in years, but I bet it's not an isolated incident. The scene was scorching, by the way. No, I probably will not tell you the movie or the performers, but I'm open to attempts at bribery.
Everything but the fuck:
Gay porn is not just fucking. There is a lot more to it. Everything from passionate kissing to blowjobs and ass eating can also make a scene perfect. For a long time, Chi Chi LaRue had a whole line of videos focused on rimming and they were terrific! Or, how about fetish porn? Obviously geared toward a subsection of gay porn viewers, many of the fetishes don't even have fucking, but can be very sexy. Try it! Historically, Titan had cum shots at the end of oral action and then again at the end of anal action and watching just the latter meant missing some amazing sex. Oral fans know what I'm talking about! Stockings, stuffed animals, twins…we've had it all. Well, except twins in stockings with stuffed animals.
Yes, I'm aware that many people only want to see fucking and asking them to look at sex acts they don't enjoy watching is futile, but there were so many things I had never seen or never thought I would see in porn that I have actually come to enjoy watching.
Story porn:
The heyday of story porn is long gone, but Dominic Ford is a perfect example of someone who has a great affinity for that style of porn, especially the comic side. His sex scenes do not suffer in quality, but there is so much else to do in watching his scenes than merely playing lookout police for condoms. A Cockyboys movie tends to run three or more hours. There is a lot going on in their movies and the sex can be so explosive and intense that the guys could be wearing parkas and manage to please. If you watch your porn online, even the briefest scene set-up for Men at Play sizzles so that you may explode before they get those tight suits off. Over at PeterFever, small plots tie together 10 or so scenes but never get in the way of the hardcore action. Try getting wrapped up in the story and maybe the wrapping of the models will matter a bit less.
Favorite stars:
I don't know if anyone has done any sort of scientific study about this, but what is the loyalty of fans to their favorite stars? In the last year, I can think of a dozen guys who did both bareback and condom porn and some of them continue to go back and forth. If you really like a performer so much that it gets you hard just seeing his name, are you willing to watch him in any kind of porn? Look at the guys who come out of studios like Sean Cody. The site is a machine of cute boys, now predominantly bareback, but many of them rename themselves and jump into the larger world of gay porn with condoms. I have to believe their fans follow them.
Cheap and Easy:
I'm being polite here, but let's face it, the recent swing toward bareback has produced some exceedingly cheap product that I have trouble imagining gets anyone off (my article, my opinion, but feel free to bash away). True, the move to Internet porn is actually responsible for the glut of cheap porn, but the viewer demand for bareback porn has led to pop-up studios with questionable models and talent turning out crap. Do people really watch crap because it has or does not have condoms? I'm not talking about amateur porn, I'm talking about porn you pay for made by "professionals."
Availability and Cost:
Internet porn has made gay porn of any kind instantly available to just about anyone. Studios are constantly running membership deals and for $10 or $20 a month of unlimited viewing. It costs no less than $30 or $40 to buy a DVD, so you can get unlimited porn from multiple studios for the costs of a DVD. That means a viewer who loves one performer can follow his scenes, condom or not, then meander through a site and see what else is there. Could this lead you to a scene or a studio you had dismissed because of its stance on condoms?
And don't think the studios aren't happily pandering to that possibility. Look at the Naked Sword family of companies. For one membership, you can get so much porn you will never be able to watch it all! If you get a membership for that much porn, I bet even the most die-hard bareback fans will find scenes to like. On the other side, Raw Fuck Club can introduce you to all sorts of bareback sex, maybe there is a scene there that shows you something you hadn't considered. Or, look at Bel Ami. They chop most of their scenes into two parts, effectively pulling a viewer in twice. It doesn't cost anything extra when they do it and hell, how many of you can pump your cocks all the way to the end of a 30-minute scene, or a 60-minute scene? Don't want to watch the condom part of a scene, but it has your favorite Czech twink? Watch the first part and then switch to another scene where a lookalike Slovak twink goes raw.
Can these be part of the central argument? That studios and viewers can mutually open up new avenues through curiosity or re-invention?
I said I would bump up against larger issues. Though I believe it should, of course many disagree that gay porn exists in a purely entertaining bubble. I wish that when we turned our dicks on, we could turn our minds off.
Okay, so let's address "hypocrisy." Over the years, and this goes as far back as the emergence of Hot Desert Knights and, at the time and to a lesser degree, Treasure Island, friends in the industry have asked my opinion on whether or not to go bareback. My couch has seen more talking than a psychiatrist's office and less action than a church pew on this topic alone because I support all gay porn. One giant star had signed a deal with an exclusively bareback studio well over a decade ago was then suddenly frozen in fear as to whether it was a good idea or not and we spent more hours in discussion about it than he actually ended up filming. He gave it a huge amount of contemplation, making no decision lightly, knowing full well he could be losing most of his fan base. It takes blogs or commenters on blogs mere seconds to pull up an article where the star who just announced a switch to bareback had claimed he would never do it, but none of them know what thoughts or actions the performer took to make either statement.
Is it hypocrisy? If you look at one "never" statement and the corresponding "now I will" announcement only, I guess so. But, we have to dig deeper before flinging that label at someone. Until recently, it had been policy at condom-only studios for everyone to be publicly anti-bareback. But, the world has changed and the industry with it. Put a context around those statements. I'm not saying assume that your favorite Raging Stallion hero is a weekend cumdump simply because he has to say one thing at work and then can do whatever he wants at home. I'm simply saying that we cannot take the "never" and the "now I will" statements as the only requirement for calling someone a hypocrite.
I will only dip my toe into the Truvada PreP argument because, as I said, I don't possess nearly enough information to be considered "informed," but a lot of people do have that information, people on both sides of the porn dilemma, from condom supporters to activists who have been unwavering in their insistence that safer sex has always mean condoms now adjusting their stances to people who have always refused to use condoms. A porn friend said to me, "maybe in my lifetime, the Pope will come out on behalf of Truvada since it means not using condoms." After a good laugh, I replied, "he first has to come out and say that one man plowing the hell out of another man is okay–you are such a fucking manwhore that you forget that the reason he doesn't like condoms is for their use as birth control, an issue between men and women. Remember women?"
Can that be part of the central argument? Bareback sex will be okay when the Pope gives his blessing?
If we take Lucas Entertainment at its word that negative performers will only work with negative performers and positive with positive, and that the testing is current and shared, along with the huge amount of press Michael Lucas has gathered discussing Truvada, perhaps we don't have to look at it as hypocrisy. Performers are not indentured servants. They can say no. Now that more and more medical professionals are supporting Truvada, used in a specific way and with the understanding that the research is only addressing HIV, could it be that Lucas Entertainment has simply moved to the latest version of safe sex?
Ditto for Bel Ami, a studio that rarely makes any kind of substantial statement, and thus is not being blasted for hypocrisy as they increasingly dispense with condoms. Why? If you want my opinion, it's because they have conditioned us to assume their models are overwhelmingly straight and so young that they must be as STD-free as the day they were born. Being straight or not very experienced doesn't mean you can't contract an STD, though people do tend to make those mental leaps, not exactly discouraged by Bel Ami.
Lucas and Bel Ami have done the exact same thing: one with loud explanation, one with no explanation. The reactions from fans seem to have followed: Lucas gets the hypocrisy label and Bel Ami doesn't.
Can that be one of the central arguments here? That the definition of "safe sex" is no longer restricted to celibacy and condoms? That viewers can update their definition along with some studios?
Since the early 1980s, the gay community, along with many others of course, have prayed and prayed for medical breakthroughs that prolong life and outright cures. We prayed hard enough and we have the former. We may not have the latter yet, but what if we do have a prophylactic with some very interesting new data worth investigating? Will it affect your decision to bolt if your Grindr hook-up has a cold sore? Will it stop you from going crazy from syphilis? Are there side effects? Do your own research, make your own decisions. Do not depend on gay porn studios for information. They exist to entertain you when you've had enough self-education each day and just want to send a load up behind your ear. Or behind someone else's ear.
While it's easy to take aim at companies who have made the switch to bareback porn, what about the companies sticking with condoms? In some cases, the vigor to keep viewers has meant a huge increase in quality. Hot House, with its eternally elegant presentation, is a perfect example: they are willing to look at many different fetishes or ways of filming sex that remain undeniably hot, condoms intact, with crisp colorful scenarios and very popular models. Titan has always depended more on their bruisers crashing together like avalanche stones than obsessing over too many close-ups and that energy is the company's focus. Nobody does it better.
In other cases, the stance can be troubling. Men.com openly stated it will not employ HIV+ performers and will continue to make condom-only porn. However, they did so in such a rush that one could assume every performer who worked for them a lot and suddenly no longer did was HIV+. It may be true, it may not be true, but in all that hurried policy setting, they opened up a speculative Pandora's Box. It could be coincidence: perhaps some longtime men.com porn stars simply decided to cut down on their filming or work with other studios at just the time men.com decided that HIV status was their #1 priority. But, that stance is company policy and I admire them for having one just as I do Lucas or Bel Ami or Falcon. Controversy fades, good sex is forever.
To be fair, so did Michael Lucas did the same kind of potential damage when he made his statement about positive performers always being paired with positive performers because suddenly a million blog commenters made assumptions about the HIV status of dozens of performers. My take is the same: it was the wrong comment at the wrong time, no denying it. That controversy has also faded. The good sex has not.
Can that be one of the central arguments here? That rushing to be first in line one either side of the argument can be a problem because it doesn't show enough foresight? Maybe the wait and see attitude of studios still doing what they do best and waiting to see how it all shakes out is not such a bad idea?
I've been asked many times, "are the performers willing to risk their health just to film without a condom?" I don't know. I would never ask such a question. These guys are my friends and I don't judge their decisions. I trust that if they have come to a decision, they have done so after considering the facts and their options with both eyes open. I don't ask if they are taking Truvada. I don't even necessarily know their HIV status. They get enough abuse and speculation simply because they are porn stars that they don't need the same from friends.
The other question I get asked more often is, "doesn't porn have a responsibility to the viewers?" Yes, but in only one way: it has to be hot and exciting. That is all porn was ever intended to be. Porn never signed up to be a lifelong sex educator. It only took on that responsibility in the 1980s when porn became the safest alternative to the lack of information surrounding HIV.
Never use a minor and never force a performer to do anything he does not want to do, that is the extent of porn's social responsibility. Hurl your stones, as many and as hard as you want, I won't back down from that opinion.
If a person watches bareback porn and says, "my favorite star is doing it, I'll go do it" without any additional thought, the responsibility falls on that person. That's just stupid. Porn viewers don't have all the facts about their favorite stars as they race to that idiotic conclusion. Never make a role model out of someone you don't know, be it a porn star, a politician or a musician. It's not fair to them or to yourself.
Can that be one of the central arguments? That we are making the industry into something other than a dazzling assembly line of male sexual perfection?
Porn is a visceral form of entertainment. It needs instant reaction to be successful. It is not made to create intellectual arguments, but it sure is easy to take aim and blame porn for all sort of evil because no one outside the industry will rush to defend it. You cannot attack or praise porn without facts and since it takes a lot of time to amass facts, do you really need to bother? I propose cutting through everything with a slogan:
Get porn on so it can get you off.
That's the point of porn. Literally, that's it. Don't overthink it. Save that for your personal lives and personal choices. I can tell you from the inside that the studios and performers are actively considering everything you would as they make their decisions.

Black Milk Clothing recently threw a shindig for their fourth birthday, and it doesn't look like they kid around. Their party had slushie machines, body painters, Star Wars characters, a photo booth, and more. It seems like it was an amazing time, and they added to the festivities by showing some teases from their upcoming Batman line. We saw a glimpse of a Bat symbol swimsuit earlier this month, but now you can drool over six designs including the Joker and Poison Ivy.
I'm happy to see that besides swimsuits there are at least a couple of loose fitting t-shirts. No word on the official release date yet, but we'll get there.
Check out more shots after the break.

Apple's new iMac computers to hit shelves Friday

The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, November 27, 2012 2:53PM EST
CUPERTINO, Calif.-- Apple says the smaller version of its new, slimmed-down iMac desktop computers will go on sale Friday. It will also start taking orders for the larger model, but the units won't ship until next month.
The model with the 21.5-inch screen will cost $1,299 and up, depending on the configuration. The model with a 27-inch screen will start at $1,799.
The iMac tacks the computer components to the back of a large LCD screen. The new models have no disk drive, helping make the edges one-fifth the thickness of the old model. They bulge considerably toward the middle of the back, however.
Apple revealed the new models a month ago.
Apple shares fell $2.04 to $587.49 in afternoon trading.

sine funtin
I am doing ansys CFX analysis inside the human artery .There is a systole and diastole flow inside the artery. How to define the velocity profile as an inlet. I have to define the velocity profile as a sine function
u(t)= Uo( 1+sin (4*pi -Pi /2)
How to set this boundary condition . I dont know the procedure . I kindly request someone to help me to set the boundary condition step by step.
Thank you in advance
boundary conditions
CFX employs the CEL language where you can define expressions. Under the expression tab create a new expression and define the velocity profile in the form you have with reference to global coordinates. Then under the boundary tab set the value of the boundary to the defined expression.
It looks like a 1D analysis so set the other to components of velocity to zero. What does the independent variable t mean in your formula?
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks for your reply
I have written the expression in the following format
Umax+Umax*sin(4*pi*Frequency*t -pi /2)
Is this correct. I try to calculate the expression value , The value becomes zero.
how it is possible . anyhow I have to get my Umax if sine value is zero. But the value I am getting is zero why?
1 Attachment(s)
Try using this:
Umax+Umax*sin(4*pi*f*t -pi /2)
where f is your frequency define in another expression.
Frequency is a CFX built in variable and you do not want to use it for your expression.
Dear NickFL
Thank you very much for your kind advice . I got it.

Mamadou Sakho played the full match as Liverpool under-23s beat Huddersfield 3-0 in the Premier League Cup on Saturday afternoon – and fans on Twitter hailed his display.
The 26-year-old centre-back has not featured for the Reds this season after he was sent home from pre-season by manager Jurgen Klopp for breaking club rules.
Since then his future at Anfield has been in huge doubt with many national newspapers suggesting he could leave in the January transfer window.
One fan stated that he would more than happily see Southampton centre-half Virgil Van Dijk replace the Frenchman.
Nonetheless, Sakho helped the Merseyside club keep a clean sheet as goals from Brooks Lennon, Harry Wilson and Cameron Brannagan secured them an impressive victory.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:
#LFC U23s 3-0 HTFC analysis: Wilson leads from the front, Sakho looks at ease, Grabara and Lennon impresshttps://t.co/MXyPtp7wrS
— Liverpool FC News (@LivEchoLFC) November 5, 2016
@LivEchoLFC It's good to see @mamadousakho get some game time to build his fitness #LFC #YNWA?
— Youtuber (@YoutuberLFC) November 5, 2016
@JamesPearceEcho know why he's not involved with the first team this season?
— Darryl Camp (@DarrylCamp) 2 November 2016
Sakho looked good at the back today for #LFCU23s still would like to keep hold of him. Can't see it happening though. #LFC #WeAreLiverpool
— WE ARE LIVERPOOL (@we_are_Lpool) November 5, 2016
I feel that Sakho has learned his lesson and has knockled down to his job, give him 1 last chance at least on the bench #squaddepth #lfc
— Ahmet Gocer (@AhmetGocer2) November 5, 2016
Would be quite happy with Van Dijk coming in for Sakho, classy looking player #LFC #YNWA
— Chris Coventry (@ChrisCoventry1) November 5, 2016
Former Paris Saint-Germain defender Sakho made 34 Premier League, EFL Cup and Europa League appearances last term.
The majority of those games came under the stewardship of Klopp, who he helped reach the final of the Europa League with, before they were comfortably beaten by Sevilla.
In other Liverpool team news, Stan Collymore has predicted the Reds to be victorious against Watford on Sunday afternoon.

China Everbright International Limited ("Everbright International" or the "Group") (HKSE: 00257) is pleased to announce that the Group has signed a concession agreement for a household waste-to-energy project with the People's Government of Leshan City in Sichuan Province, to invest and construct the Leshan Waste-to-energy Project ("Leshan Project"), with a total investment of approximately RMB650 million.
Leshan Project is jointly invested by Everbright International and
Leshan State-owned Assets Management Company, with Everbright
International holding a 90% equity stake. The project will be invested
and constructed on a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model for a concession
period of 30 years. It has a designed daily household waste processing
capacity of 1,000 tonnes, and is expected to generate 128,740,000 kWh of
green electricity annually. Its gas emissions will fully comply with
the Euro 2010 Standard.
Leshan, a city located in the south-western part of Sichuan Province, is famous for its abundant natural resources. As a national historical and cultural attraction, and an excellent tourist destination in China, Leshan has been a jewel in Sichuan's crown for its breathtaking scenery. Since the development of the local economy and rise in tourism produce more household waste, there is an increasing need for more environmental protection infrastructures and better management.
Mr. Chen Xiaoping, CEO of Everbright International, said, "Leshan Project is Everbright International's fifth waste-to-energy project in Sichuan Province, and forms part of the Group's development strategy of 'Expanding from Coastal to Inland Areas'. As always, we will ensure to adhere to high standards and high quality for the design, operations and management of the project, and will establish the project as a pilot waste-to-energy project in the south-western of China. In doing so, the Group will help the city to harmlessly treat, reduce and reuse domestic household waste, and will help improve the local ecological environment, which will contribute to Leshan's long-term healthy development."

Phnom Penh, Nov 19 (IBNS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday said India gives highest priority to its relations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
"As we gather for our tenth summit in the country that hosted the first such Summit, let me reaffirm that India attaches the highest strategic priority to its relations with ASEAN, " Singh said in his opening remarks at 10th India-ASEAN Summit here.
"Two decades ago, India embarked upon a journey of openness and global economic integration. As we looked towards the East, ASEAN was the natural partner for our engagement in the Asia Pacific region. I am glad to say that this remains the case today," he said.
The Prime Minister said a future of peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia Pacific required increased cooperation and integration in the region.
"ASEAN has shown the way in this regard. We support the objectives of an ASEAN Community by 2015, the Initiative for ASEAN Integration and the ASEAN Master Plan on Connectivity," he said.
Speaking on the India-ASEAN Agreement on Trade in Goods, Singh said: "Our trade was nearly 80 billion US dollars in the Indian financial year ending March 2012, exceeding our target of 70 billion US dollars.
"I would like to inform Your Excellencies that India is prepared to conclude the Agreement on Trade in Services and Investment Promotion before the Commemorative Summit in Delhi in December."
"This will be a strong signal of our deepening economic engagement, and will allow for rapid expansion in trade and investment flows in both directions," he said.
Singh said: "Connectivity with ASEAN in all its dimensions - physical, institutional and people-to-people - continues to be a strategic priority for India. Two major Commemorative events this year - the India-ASEAN Car Rally and the ASEAN sailing expedition of the Indian Naval Ship Sudarshini - highlight the importance and the potential for connecting India and ASEAN by sea, surface and air links."
He said India and ASEAN have signed a ´unique´ Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on ´Strengthening Tourism Cooperation´.
"Continuing liberalization of our visa regime for ASEAN countries is also inspired by the same desire to connect our people and expand mutually beneficial economic opportunities.
"I am especially pleased that, this year, delegates of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly have exchanged visits for the first time with an Indian Parliamentary delegation," Singh said.
The Prime Minister said the launch of an ASEAN-India Newsletter on Agriculture and Forestry was a very important initiative.
"I am also encouraged by the level of ASEAN participation in the Agri Expo. We look forward to a successful India-ASEAN Business Fair in Delhi in December. I attach special importance to our ongoing cooperative programmes in the knowledge and skills sector," he said.
"We are making tangible progress on the Plan of Action for Peace, Progress and Shared Prosperity for 2010-15," Singh said.
He said India and ASEAN should not only work for shared prosperity and closer links between people but also to promote peace, security and stability in the region.
"We should therefore enhance our cooperation to address shared challenges. I am happy to note our growing engagement in areas such as defence, maritime security and counter-terrorism.
" We attach great importance to our consultation and cooperation in the East Asia Summit, ASEAN Regional Forum and ADMM+ forums," Singh said.
"I am confident that, given our cultural affinity, physical proximity, shared values, convergent worldviews and similarities in our approaches to the region, our relationship will increasingly become more comprehensive and strategic in nature."
Speaking on Cambodia, he said: "I would like to express my deep appreciation for the constructive and supportive role that Cambodia has played for the last three years as the Coordinator for India.
"I welcome Brunei, the current Coordinator for India, and assure them of our full support in taking our partnership to new heights."
Singh on Sunday arrived at Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia, for the 10th India-ASEAN Summit and the 7th East Asian Summit.

Emma Stone: Breakfast Babe in NYC
Stepping out for a social call, Emma Stone hit up Café Cluny with a gal pal for some delicious breakfast on Wednesday morning (June 18).
The "Amazing Spider-Man 2" cutie wore a black brimmed hat and a blue t-shirt as she exited the eatery and scurried past the shutterbugs.
And it turns out Emma is a big fan of Café Cluny, as she also dined there on Tuesday morning with her handsome boyfriend Andrew Garfield.
They ended up writing cards to the paparazzi and giving them out after their date; they read, Emma: "Good morning! We were eating and saw a group of guys with cameras outside. And so we thought, let's try this again. We don't need the attention, but these wonderful organizations do: —>"
Andrew: "www.youthmentoring.org,www.autismspeaks.org (and don't forget) www.wwo.org, www.gildasclubnyc.org. Here's to the stuff that matters. Have a great day!"

The Inner Planet Mercury
Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System, orbiting the Sun once every 88 days. It completes three rotations about the axis for every two orbits. Mercury is bright when viewed from Earth, ranging from −2.0 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude, but is not easily seen as its greatest angular separation from the Sun is only 28.3°. Since Mercury is normally lost in the glare of the Sun, unless there is a solar eclipse, Mercury can only be viewed in morning or evening twilight.

"I don't think Washington wins," President Obama tells NBC's Brian Williams in the interview that the TV network will broadcast this evening -- one of five sit-downs the president did with national news anchors this afternoon.
"The fact of the matter is Tom Daschle pulled out today," Obama continues. "And I'm here on television saying I screwed up and that's part of the era of responsibility; is not never making mistakes; it's owning up to them and trying to make sure you never repeat them and that's what we intend to do." (Update at 7:45 a.m. ET, Feb. 4: Video of NBC's interview has been posted online here.)
(Update at 10:45 a.m. ET, Feb. 4: What do you think of the way the president is handling this? Join a Forum discussion here.)
The networks are sending out excerpts. Highlights from the others we've gotten so far:
• Obama tells ABC's Charles Gibson this was an embarrassing day for his administration, with the collapse of Daschle's nomination as Health and Human Services secretary and Nancy Killefer as chief performance officer.
"We're going to have some glitches," Obama adds, "and I understand that that's what people are going to focus on. And I'm focused on it because I don't want glitches. We can't afford glitches because, right now, what I should be spending time talking to you about is how we're going to put three to four million people back to work. And so this is a self-induced injury that I'm angry about, and we're going to make sure we get it fixed." (Update at 7:45 a.m. ET, Feb. 4: Video of ABC's interview has been posted online here.)
• The president tells CNN's Anderson Cooper that "I think my mistake is not in selecting Tom originally, because I think nobody was better equipped to deal both with the substance and policy of health care. He understands it as well as anybody, but also the politics, which is going to be required to actually get it done. But I think that, look, ultimately, I campaigned on changing Washington and bottom-up politics. And I don't want to send a message to the American people that there are two sets of standards, one for powerful people, and one for ordinary folks who are working every day and paying their taxes." (Update at 7:45 a.m. ET, Feb. 4: Video of CNN's interview has been posted online here.)
• He says to CBS' Katie Couric that Daschle's withdrawal is "frustrating for me and it's something that I take responsibility for. Tom, I think, is an outstanding individual. I am absolutely convinced that he would've been the best person to help shepherd through, uh, what's going to be a very difficult process to get healthcare for American families." (Update at 7:45 a.m. ET, Feb. 4: Video of CBS' interview has been posted online here.)
• The two nominees stepped down, however, because "we can't send a message to the American people that we have two sets of rules -- one for prominent people and one for ordinary people," he tells Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace.
"Ultimately I have to take responsibility for a process that resulted in us not having an HHS Secretary at a time when people need relief on their healthcare costs<" Obama also says to Wallace. "This is a mistake, probably not the first one I am going to be making in this office, but what I'm absolutely committed to doing is fixing it, getting a highly qualified HHS Secretary, and then making sure we start delivering some healthcare relief to families who so desperately need it." (Update at 7:45 a.m. ET, Feb. 4: Video of Fox's interview has been posted online here.)
Obama also tells ABC's Gibson that:
"You know, I feel surprisingly comfortable in the job. I think I've got a great staff. We've got a great team.
"The challenges are big. You know, we've got an economy that I think is worse than anybody would have anticipated even two or three months ago. We've seen some progress in Iraq, but in Afghanistan we've got enormous challenges. And we've got a -- not just an immediate economic crisis, but a long-term budget issue in terms of the amount of debt that we're accumulating.
"Trying to square all those circles is a challenge. But one thing that I'm absolutely convinced about is that you want to be president when you've got big problems. If things are going to smoothly, then this is just another nice home office."
All five networks will be broadcasting their interviews this evening.

My review on Black Butler 95!
Oh, YES! Ciel, you little crybaby, you're finally back to your bitchy self! And I love it! Well, I was suspecting Yana to bring Ciel back to normal, anyway, so it wasn't that surprising. Kuroshitsuji isn't the same without cold Ciel and sadistic Sebastian. Again, I loved this chapter so much, just like every other damn chapter Yana publishes. The artwork in this chapter was phenomenal, and it was similar to the chessboard scene. Ah, Black Butler is like sweets to me – addicted to it!
So, first, I want to discuss the cover page. I think the title and the subtitle of this chapter was simply describing how Sebastian didn't get to eat Ciel's soul, but I absolutely love the cover page, so I have to feature it here.

Flooring Installation, Sales, and Service
The Flooring Pro Guys
It can be a difficult task to find local contractors that fit your needs but it doesn't have to be. You do not need to use up all of your free time separating the dependable from the unreliable. The Flooring Pro Guys are the top-notch and most dependable flooring contractors in Memphis, TN. Here we provide some advice on just how you should go about working with a contractor for your flooring needs.
Hundreds of options and samples to choose from!
Value Vs. Price for a Floor Installation
When you hire a flooring contractor, it can be quite tricky to find that perfect balance between the cost and the true value they provide. Hiring the cheapest contractor will typically end up costing you more in the long run because they may use poor quality materials and do a poor job. If you plan on flooring just once, it's best you avoid going for the cheapest contractors. Online research for quality of flooring types is essential.
Be watchful of pricing that's unrealistic when you are discussing fees. When concerned about a warranty, make sure your local contractor will stay in business to honor the warranty. If your flooring contractor goes out of business, he won't be around to honor your warranty. Get the warranty info in writing before proceeding with the negotiation.
Local References
Always be smart and ask for a minimum of three local references when interviewing flooring contractors. Any flooring contractor that you work with should have amazing references. We can easily get you in contact with an abundance of customers who have been happy with the level of work we've completed for them. Simply ask The Flooring Pro Guys to put you in contact with customers who will gladly let you know how pleased they are with our work.
One of the key questions to ask the references provided by a potential flooring contractor is how the crew treated their home and furnishings. Query how they cleared the mess after the flooring job was over. Also ask if their home was returned to its original condition when the job was completed. A reputation for being careless with clients' property or belongings should be a deal breaker.
A Professional Flooring Contractor
Prior to making a decision to work with, remember to see their liability insurance policy. Any contractor that's not a liability will have sufficient insurance policies in place for flooring projects. You don't ever want to work with an uninsured contractor. Experienced contractors do not wish to have their insurance premiums raised through lawsuits, therefore a trustworthy contractor will avoid simple mistakes.
It can be a significant thing to find out if the contractors have a guru sign for advertising on their vehicle. Any person is ready to rent a pickup truck or borrow one from an acquaintance. A giveaway of a fraudulent contractor is a phone number that is outside the local area. See to it you put a call across to the number on their vehicle to decipher just how professionally they answer their calls.
A Quality Flooring Installation
While the undertaking is in progress, a genuine expert will supply you with a detailed guide and show how they anticipate taking care of the mess in the event that you anticipate being at the property. In the event that you do not plan on occupying the property while the flooring project is occurring, your contractor should still be able to construct a pre-project plan and present it to you. You will need to see the actualities, timetable, and the arrangements for fruition. The Flooring Pro Guys will make sure that your needs are being met throughout the entire project.
Hiring contractors for end to end projects involves more than a simple good feeling about a person. With some contractors, they prefer to do one room at a time, and others prefer to do the entire house in one go. Any flooring job creates a mess; it will be good to discover if the crew will take care of the trash generated. Before the mess is created, ask how the cleanup process works after completion.
It's A Messy Job!
Inquiring how the flooring contractor will combat potential messes during the flooring job is a great idea. A heavy plastic drape is used by professional flooring contractors to prevent potential messes. Most contractors like to produce a barrier for both paint and dust, by utilizing a special overlap procedure. Red tape stating Men Working will wrap the room under construction much like a scary movie.
The cost of the plastic draping used to keep children out of the work space should be included in your flooring contractor's estimate. Kids left unattended might step on uncovered nails in the area. Ensuring the safety of both homeowners and crew is a key responsibility of your flooring contractor. No popular flooring contractor will risk injury to any member of your household, especially children.
A Professional Flooring Installation From A Trusted Flooring Contractor
Experienced flooring contractors know their product lines by heart. A real contractor should have a professional presentation showing customers samples of products he has available. They should have the ability to present the advantages and drawbacks of the flooring products they offer and provide you with price quotes on their products from memory. Constantly looking up things can be a cause for alarm.
All areas of job requirements must be laid out in the legal agreement before a paid job starts. You'll save yourself the possibility of later altercations and expensive rework if you review the legal agreement carefully before you sign it. Make sure you have no remaining questions or concerns and are in full agreement with your service provider before you sign anything. If there're legal issues that are hindering your ability to understand a legal contract before signing it, this is where your legal consultant comes into play.
Despite the time and care you put into picking a stain color, you may find yourself changing your mind once you see what it looks like on your floors. Extra charges usually are involved for wasted material and time, so choosing durable stain instead of low quality ones is essential. You deserve to have the excellent flooring job exactly how you want it to be completed. Our goal as The Flooring Pro Guys is to knock your socks off with the quality of the flooring work we do for you.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hi, my name is Andrea and I will be glad to assist you in any way I can,
First of all, if there was no probable cause for the police to come to the house, they should not have been there in the first place and they should not have entered the house at all. The fact that the police officer admitted to you that you were under arrest, but did not give you your Miranda rights prohibited them from asking you any questions whatsoever. Therefore, you should retain a good lawyer experienced in Criminal Defense and his first order of business is to have everything found in the house and any answers you gave to their question excluded from evidence. The Attorney should try to have everything dismissed at the preliminary hearing stage, and if it is not done at that level, the Attorney should file a "Motion to Suppress" in front of the Judge assigned to the case and anything they found and any statements you made, must be suppressed (Cannot be admitted into evidence).
If this is your first offense, you can be eligible for deferred adjudication and you can later have your record expunged,
Please be kind enough to rate Excellent Service" so that I receive credit for assisting you, it will not cost you anything additional to give me a positive rating, and that is the only way I can receive credit, Thank you for understanding,
If you receive a Customer Satisfaction Survey from JustAnswer, Please rate a 10 as it gives me a greater opportunity to assist other customers on this website and is greatly appreciated,
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to assist you,
I was later made aware that the grandmother in question had not been in the house that night, would her absence as the property owner make the police entry admissible? Additionally could the smell of marijuana (which I doubt could have been outside) constitute probable cause in the case of a private residence? I have been involved in mock trial for years and am currently a pre law student at Binghamton and was very surprised that an officer would be sloppy enough to forget to read my rights in a situation like this, apparently they were responding to a call made my neighbors about people entering the house. It was not a party, there was a group of four including the grandson, all of us are over the age of 18. I have spoken with my attorney and he will be appearing with me however I have limited contact with him given the holiday weekend so I appreciate the assistance. Additionally, would the fact that the marijuana was not found on my person make a difference?
Hello, perhaps you have missed my follow-up questions. Is there any chance I could get a final response on these inquiries?

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
A lot of us got carried away when the Rockies temporarily entered the can't-lose zone last fall, including the folks in the team's marketing office, who announced their intention to trademark the term "Rocktober" to commemorate the playoff run. Apparently, they forgot that both Denver dailies had splashed the word across their pages, or that rock radio stations have used it in promotions since time immemorial. But Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert knew better, chiding the team by putting mini-Red Sox helmets on KISS action figures in a Rocktober crèche and suggesting that the Rockies try to lock up the term "Choketember" instead. That was a funnier gag than the real thing.
Hot rod culture lives in Golden! From May until October, every first Saturday of the month, classic-car enthusiasts and John Milner wannabes roll up their sleeves and rev up their old cherry wheels to cruise up and down Golden Road. The action begins at 6 p.m. near an overcrowded Sonic Drive-In parking lot at 17191 South Golden Road; then, around 7:30, there's a group cruise into downtown Golden, with DJ Van Jeffries doing his Wolfman Jack from a van. Go on: Rediscover your inner Curt.
Hikes need not be relegated to weekends and vacations. What better way to de-stress after a long workday than by taking in a sunset on a brisk scenic walk? Alderfer/Three Sisters Park is close enough to get to in forty minutes and far enough to feel like an escape from the city. Part of the Jefferson County Open Space program, it's anchored by the rock formations known as the Three Sisters and The Brother, which overlook Bear Creek Basin. The park boasts over ten miles of trails, with most in the half- to two-mile range. Sisters, which weaves through large boulders for just over a mile, is the most strenuous. But keep your eyes open and leave the iPod at home, because it's a popular trail for mountain bikers, too.
Colorado hockey lovers were in a state of bliss when the Avalanche brought back icons Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote earlier this year. But because of their age, not to mention Forsberg's physical condition, neither can be considered long-term solutions for what ails the team — a fact reinforced in early March when both got hurt. Paul Stastny, in contrast, is the team's future. He's just 22 and looks about twelve, but he's developed into a prolific force around the net, leading the team in points, goals and assists despite his own stretch on injured reserve. Forsberg and Foote, as well as fellow elder Joe Sakic, who's also had some mending to do of late, will play a major part in determining how far the Avs go this season. As for Stastny, he'll be key in 2008 and hopefully for years to come.
Who needs sand and water when you've got snow and sunshine? The Beach at A-Basin is simply the place where snow meets parking lot, but it's become a legend in its own right. In years gone by, it was a venue for wild parties as people camped and tailgated overnight to get first tracks in the morning. It's said that people even pulled stunts like hiking up the mountain with a couch on skis. The scene has mellowed since then — you can't camp out anymore — but you can reserve a parking spot. So when spring comes, it's an idyllic place to pull in, turn up the stereo, set up your lawn chairs and grill, throw a couple of beers on ice — or snow — and spend a day at the beach.
During their glory days, the Broncos had plenty of players who were arguably the finest at their position in the NFL. Now they've got just one: Champ Bailey. Because of the Broncs' erratic, all-too-often anemic pass rush last season, the appropriately named Champ didn't rack up the interceptions he'd earned in years past. But he hasn't lost a step, and he remains a smart, instinctive defender, a vicious hitter and a role model for his teammates professionally and personally. As a bonus, he lured one of the team's most important off-season acquisitions: linebacker Boss Bailey, his talented younger brother. If there are any more Baileys like these two, send 'em over.
