New SA spey lines
Saw a thread about these on Dana's site. Sounds like they'll be out in time for spring steelhead. I tried to post a follow up question but couldn't (@#4!+* MSN!)
Does anyone know if these will have interchangeable tips or are they a full floater? Any other info would be nice too as I'll be in the market for another line and might try one of these. Pescaphile |

These lines will be long belly WT forward lines. They should be excellent lines for people who want to make long casts without shooting line, they were designed originally by one of the worlds best speycasters. I was surprised SA would market these lines but it looks like its going to happen. I personally won't be buying one unless they market them as spey driver lines and give Derek part of the profit, but thats besides the point and my opinion. They should be awsome lines and fill the niche for people wanting to make casts of 100ft plus without shooting line. |
These lines should be out in the early new year and have a workable belly of @105ft of which you can lift the whole thing and cast due to the design. I have seen someone cast over 140ft with a proto of this line and a std. 15ft factory rod. I have also heard many people state that they can cast further with less effort than any other line that they have tried. Just a further note, the person who came up with these tapers did this on his own, and has never even seen one of Dereks lines.

I don't know the technical details of the lines however, they are take offs of the continuous taper Alexander grant lines the Lee used as the basis for his TT. I have heard that Way has been using SW floaters with the "new" taper. I can only guess that this also increases distance and potentially the "stealthness"(the line will "float" under the film rather than over the film) due to the increase in density for the given surface area Additionally, it may allow the rod to load better with a shorter line?
Read fine and far off and many of the "new" things are really not so novel. However, Way has taken the initiative to bring the old line concepts and worked with the weights and newer rod designs to make them work quite well together from the sound of it. I think this is great for those of us who enjoy the long belly lines. Finally long belly "spey lines" lines from production environment, something DB unfortunately did not do with the Spey Drive. Can't wait to give one a try. Now hopefully SA doesn't get screwy with the pricing and keeps it realistic. Last edited by andre; 12-14-2001 at 04:09 PM. |
I too am a bit surprised that these lines got marketed, mostly though since these are lines that will be useful to only the very best casters out there. In spite of the post that denies any relationships with the Speydriver line it does have a 40' continuous front taper along with all that belly like the SD-type lines. This means that the caster's technique needs to be flawless. If your skills are up to it this SD-type line is an awesome casting tool indeed. I do know a number of decent casters who have used this SD-style line and have given up. My advice is try one before springing for the undoubtedly steep price. The new "stealth" technology finish on the line will certainly be worth investigating and may indeed be an improvement over the other line.

Actually, these lines have a continuous taper for the whole line just like any other spey line out there. And I really believe that these lines will be usefull to beginers who have a tendancy to have to much line stick on the D loop, The tip will help them cast despite this and in the long run make them better casters rather than spincasters ala windcutter. Grant was quoted in talking about throwing a glob of line attached to a thin running line as spinning, nothing more nothing less.
With all of this hype, I guess I will have to try one too!!!
Fisshman, After reading your last post, I sort of chuckled about your quoting that shooting line is just spin fishing. It reminded me of the lesson that I observed this past June fishing the Matapedia's public sector. Up until this point I was getting a little overconfident in my abilities to cast, with a windcutter or midspey, achieving plenty of distance by shooting line. Enter a New Yorker named Jim Roucher and a couple of his friends that have been fishing this river for over 20 years, and spey casting for much of it. These men use long limber English rods, roughly 16' for 10 wt lines. Much too much stick for my pleasure, but they ALL throw unmodified DT lines. After fishing along side these guys for five days, I came away thinking "Hmm, you have a new game to learn, chief!". When the wind was not blowing too much, it was a great pleasure to watch Jim EFFORTLESSLY double or single spey 80' of line without blowing a cast for hours on end, and not shoot more than a yard of line. On a wider stretch of river he even opened it up to 100+ feet of line beyond the rod tip with the same song and dance. No constant stripping required. Efficiency at its finest. Lesson learned. So I came home and started playing around with a few lines and settled on the best of both worlds, the Cortland DT Spey 8/9 for my old 9140-4. It mends like a traditional DT but, because of its 39'taper scheme, will throw loops like a WF. William |
All factory spey lines do indeed have "smooth" joints between the various tapers. However, all functional spey lines DO have separate tapers. The front taper is in fact the forward section of the line that transfers the energy down the line to turn over the fly, the "belly" of the line provides the weight needed to propel the whole arrangement forward. A well executed cast will transfer the energy from the rod through the heavy belly into the front taper down into the leader and finally turn over the fly. Different line have different formulas for their tapers, ie. the Accelerator has about an 18' taper after the power hinge, the Windcutter has a much shorter one, etc., etc. The SA line you refer to is no different, in fact it is very similar to the original line of this genre, the first of which was brought to these parts by Derek Brown. The front taper is 40' long, this extremely long taper necessitates superior technique as any flaws will be magnified greatly over this distance. Combine this with long leaders, big flies and the ever-present wind of big rivers and you need to know what you are about. I know Steve can cast prodigious distances, but from all accounts he is a superior caster who practices every single day. I don't think there are many flaws in his delivery. The fact that Wei's line allows him to do so is no surprise to me - it IS a superior line design. However, I also believe that it is a line that will only give these superior results to those casters who have the technical skills to take advantage of the line's characteristics.

Tyler, Yes I know that all lines have seperate tapers. I have several spey driver lines and these all have various length front tapers and not just 40ft. Although 39ft is what is mentioned in Fine and Far Off for a front taper in a Grant line but it also mentions being able to adjust this length to situations(wind, big flies, etc...) I am not saying that just because Steve can cast so far with these lines that they will make everyone cast this far, but I do know that these lines cast short extremelly well and they have helped many casters cast further than they could with other lines.
Tyler, I was just wondering.... if you were starting all over again to learn how to spey cast, which line would benefit you the most in the long run.
An interesting question. I am definite that it would be a long belly line or at least a mid-spey. My rationale is that I think to learn to cast properly you need the longer belly. Without a doubt a beginner can cast a Windcutter with more immediate success. However, it promotes many bad habits or shortcuts. If a caster learns the proper techniques that a long belly demands they will be able to transfer the skills to any type of line. In my many discussions with Dana on the drives to the Thompson he relates that students of his who only cast windcutters normally have trouble with the longer bellies. One other factor that I think is important for the learner is to be sure to line your rod so that it will sufficiently load your rod at the distances most commonly achieved by beginners. This is where my earlier comment that the SD type lines being a tough cast for beginners comes from - it is too long and fine for most casters. In fact I might even consider a double taper line as a good starting point, but certainly the mid-spey comes to mind as an ideal starting point. Tight lines - tyler

I hope that you get to try one of these lines soon, because that is where the real difference with this new line and the speydrivers difffer. These new lines cast short far easier than any other line that I have ever used before. As to your comment about having the line heavy enough to load the rod for a beginner, I wholheartedly aggree. Bruce. |
You seen to have more detailed info or time casting Way's lines than many others. To what do you tribute the ability of these lines to load the rod at shorter distances? With the fine taper of these lines I can only think of increased density of the line? Last edited by andre; 12-19-2001 at 01:22 PM. |
I really couldnt tell you(my best guess is taper). Way would be the best person to answer. I have only cast these lines a few times. But like I have said before, I was most impressed by how well they loaded in close, with the ability to go for distance, and still have control over your line and fly.
hello all. this is a neat site!
with regard to the SA lines, i thought i'd see if i can (perhaps) clear up some potential confusion regarding aspects of the line design, it's orgins, and it's intended purpose and audience... as andre and fisshman26 accurately point out, the concept of a long continuous forward taper line is not new. it seems like the first gentleman to get the continuous taper epiphany for spey casting was alexander grant, who had the luxury of having square pleated braided slik lines made to his specifications (according to Mr G. Donald Rudd, aka "jock scott"). the lack of stretch in these lines, coupled with their density, apparently allowed grant to cast phenomenal distances without shooting any line; this was done so that grant could fish a slow swing on his home rivers of the ness and spey. i think many have experimented with splicing their own lines to to improve performance beyond what factory lines offer "out of the box". my friends who fish single handed rods have done this for years. i have been heavily influenced by what has been written about grant, as have others like the great spey caster, derek brown. when i was initially fiddling around with splicing lines, it was derek who turned me on to grant's work, and a good friend, charles st. pierre, helped me find a copy of "fine and far off", which i have since read many, many times. much seems to have been made of what constitutes a "continuous taper"; the masterline banker, for instance, has been made for many years, and preceeded the wulff triangle taper series of lines manufactured by SA. even these "continuous taper" lines, if one takes a micrometer to them throughout their length, have flat sections; the rate of taper (ddiameter/dlength) varies with each formulation. technically, any of the current spey lines are "continuous tapers" over their entire length, at the same time that their tapers are not TRULY continuous. from a design and performance standpoint, a true continuous taper of equal slope turns out to be extremely inefficient unless the length of the casts are quite short. throughout the process of piecing many bits of line together to try to develop a gross understanding of the physics affecting a spey cast adn line, i have come to a few realizations that have guided the design of the SA lines. the tapers are designed to maximize turnover and efficiency of energy transfer, all to decrease or eliminate the necessity to strip and shoot, thus improving efficiency and fly control through the swing. interestingly i have observed two distinct second order regression curves which have been consistently present in the best of the lines we have put together. the taper throughout the front becomes extremely critical (and varies according to line weight and overal belly length), as does the taper in the back of the line, towards the reel. many lines cast 75 feet from the reel well, a very few cast 100 feet well. i have never had the pleasure of casting or examining one of derek's spey drivers, although i have heard much about them. derek had stopped selling them several years ago. i have cast one other of dereks lines, the formula of which he was quite open in discussing. he basically used several sections of level line, creating a stepped taper design, with a section of masterline baker at the front, a more or less continuous taper. i tried this design, but found it didn't have the "punch" i was looking for, and didn't cast a sink tip well enough for my use in winter fishing. derek certainly cast it well, and the difference was, i am sure, simply due to the fact that he is one of the world's best casters, and i am not. my designs have followed more of a continuous taper concept throughout the whole of the line, although after countless hours of digital video analysis of line turnover, there is definitely some areas of the line which may be flat because the energy transfer and momentum of the wave is extremely efficient (little degredation due to drag). the trick in design has been the balance of where one needs taper, and where one can do without. this becomes critical as the cast line length exceeds 90 feet, and at 105-110 feet of line, the differences are dramatic. the fundamental goal of the lines was to provide the advanced beginner and intermediate caster with more consistent distance for the same effort; i.e. a more efficient line design. i also wanted to provide the advanced to expert the ability to cast and control the fly in a variety of very technical situations where a shorter bellied line will simply not cut the mustard. the distance potential of the lines cannot be ignored; however, i think that in fishing (not casting), fly control is more important than distance anyday. i have been fortunate in having steve choate volunteering to be a ready sounding board for the lines as they have progressed through the prototype stages. steve is a fantastic caster, and according to derek brown, "the finest spey caster he (derek) has ever seen." high praise indeed. bruce richards of SA has been amazing at bringing countless diagrams, mass profiles and spreadsheets to something upon which one can tie a fish. we have been fortunate in having a number of fishermen cast the lines, of all skill levels. although i had anticipated that the lines would be most appreciated by intermediate and advanced casters, beginners seem to cast the line well (usually "upsizing", as with other lines), although the knowledge that they are casting a prototype may have positively biased their experience. the lines are tentatively due for international release in late january or february, and will initially be avialiable in a floating configuration only. we are working on a number of intersting tip configurations, but the R&D process is extremely time consuming. these lines are not designed to replace any existing line, and certainly won't be for everybody. lines and rods are as varied as personalities of those that fish them... i do hope that they will, however, add to the enjoyment of the sport and perhpas open new opportunities to those that fish them. a happy holiday season to all, and best wishes for a wonderful new year! |

How to Cook Hard Boiled Eggs
Learn how to cook the perfect hard boiled egg every time.
Today, like many others, we are dyeing our Easter Eggs.
I thought I'd share some of the information I have found on
How to Cook Hard Boil Eggs
So…..let's get cracking!
Did you know that it is called hard-cooking? That's right! I've always called it hard boiling, but according to the American Egg Board, it's actually called hard-cooking
Hard-cooked, not hard-boiled.Although the cooking water must come to a full boil in this method, the pan is immediately removed from the heat so that the eggs cook gently in the hot water.This produces tender, not rubbery, eggs and minimizes cracking.
- Set your eggs in a layer in the bottom of a saucepan.
- Cover with water, 1″ over the eggs.
- Cook over medium-high heat until boiling, do not over boil
- Remove from burner and cover, letting eggs stand for 15 minutes (12 minutes for medium eggs, 18 minutes for extra large).
- Run cold water over the eggs to cool them
Tips for Cooking Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Banish the greenish ring.This harmless but unsightly discoloration that sometimes forms around hard-cooked yolks results from a reaction between sulfur in the egg white and iron in the yolk.It occurs when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature.Our method – cooking eggs in hot, not boiling, water, then cooling immediately – minimizes this.
Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel.To ensure easily peeled eggs, buy and refrigerate them a week to 10 days in advance of cooking.This brief "breather" allows the eggs time to take in air, which helps separate the membranes from the shell.
To peel a hard-cooked egg:Gently tap egg on counter top until shell is finely crackled all over.Roll egg between hands to loosen shell.Starting peeling at large end, holding egg under cold running water to help ease the shell off.
So there you go! If you'd like more information on eggs, check out the American Egg Board

I have taken a lot grief over my preferring real creamery butter over margarine ever since margarine was made available to the masses in the late 1950's. I was raised on butter—-real butter from a butter churn for crying out loud.
In fact when I was 2 or 3 I was put in my high chair at the perfectly set dining room table waiting for
everyone to sit down for Thanksgiving dinner. They left me alone for just a second so they tell me but it was time enough to spot the plate of butter on the table about 3 place settings away. So I just began pulling on the tablecloth to bring the butter to me. I made it and was into my second bite just as the adults came running in because of all the crashing dishes falling off the table.
Did you know 1831 was the first time they tried to invent a replacement for butter. Of course it all started because butter spoiled on the war fields so they tried to find a product that did not turn rancid. That should have been our first clue on how margarine could run and possibly ruin my life.
World War I and World war II had the same needs to replace butter on the fighting fields. By the 1880's the special interest group in dairy products went on the attack. They levied a tax against margarine. They then tried demanding that pink food coloring be added to the margarine to make it look yucky. The Supreme Court finally overruled those attempts to stop the public from buying margarine instead of butter.
By the start of the 20th century 8 out of 10 Americans could not buy yellow margarine and those that could, got taxed. There was even bootleg margarine at that time! What a hoot. So Margarine simply did not take off until World War II. Why does it take a war to get what the public wants??
So we were finally able to buy margarine that came in a see-thru bag by the mid-50's. This was how they got around the "no food coloring" thing………..they put a blob of yellow food coloring in the center of the bag and you had to break that blob by kneading the bag til it broke open then spread it thru all the
margarine til it was as yellow as you could get it. My brother and I used to fight over who got to punch the new margarine bag. I still kept eating butter whenever I could, and doing without anything if only the tub of chemicals was available.
Then the insanity of low-fat diets came and they madly invented 1000 different types of margarine. The last one I used in 1993 was a special brand that had no fat; no oils; no salt; no sugar………….in fact I am thinking there may have been no known product in this crap. I foray into margarine eating ended the day I put some in the microwave to melt for a cooking project and the stuff would NOT melt! In the microwave? Helllooo. If it doesn't melt there, it ain't gonna melt in my stomach.
So I went back to real butter and held my head high ever since. People will still occasionally make remarks about me using the killer called 'real butter'. Hinting that I am gonna die with all that butter in me. I say down-with-fake-food!

After flirting with Saul Leinad, bald bearded otter, Mickey Carpathio, invites him over to his place for a homemade lunch. Turns out the only thing on the menu is cock as Mickey makes a pig of himself taking down as much of Saul's chocolate monster as he possibly can. Mickey is in pig heaven as he gets his face and throat fucked while still in his dress clothes. Clearly, this man has some mad oral skills because he's able to take Saul's enormously fat, uncut slab down to the balls. Mickey is no small fry when it comes to dick size but next to Saul, well, let's just say nothing compares to Saul's cock. At least Mickey seems to think so because even after Saul return the favor, taking Mickey down to the base and working his balls, the slender hairy white daddy buries his face in all that meat. Once he's had his fill — can one ever really get their fill of so much monstercock? — Mickey gives up his ass. Saul rims Mickey then gives him the deepest bareback fuck of his life, stretching and stuffing and filling Mickey to the point of making his eyes roll back into his head. But what's good for the goose is good for the other goose as the two flip fuck. Mickey takes charge and pounds Saul before unleashing a furious flurry of jizz then fingers Saul as he pumps out a load that Mickey rubs all over his face.
Rogue Status and Reid Thrasher
Hairy, tattooed fuckers Rogue Status and Reid Thrasher are big time into licking and sucking. The only thing they dig more are men scents and bareback fucking. Already stripped down to their undies, Reid wastes little time in dropping to his knees to release Rogue's boner. Reid then gets skull fucked by the pierced daddy otter, taking Rogue's cock down to the balls. Rogue returns the favor, sucking Reid before bareback fucking his pre-lubed ass. The bearded, horny bottom then fucks himself, bouncing up and down as he rides Rogue before getting bent over and slammed like the cock whore that he is.
Tyler Reed, Jacob Durham and Beau Reed
Not too often do I get to join in and make it a 3-way but I could not resist when I paired up Jacob Durham with my bottom boy Beau Reed. Jacob's thick cut meat is a treat to watch enter Beau's big hockey butt that I could just stare the whole time while Jacob slammed his meat in that well used hole. Of course, I had to take my turn on that well opened hole after Jacob was in there as there is nothing like sloppy seconds and watching that butt jiggle as I power fuck it deep!
Luke Desmond and Damian Boss
Mega hung 9-inch young Luke Desmond and dark, hairy skinhead Damian Boss start off in black sports kit, kneeling on a bed, with big bulges already rock solid in their shiny shorts. They kiss while rubbing each others throbbing bulges, then pull their dicks out the side of their shorts. Both are impressively huge! Luke is a massive nine inches and Damian's 8-incher is seriously thick. They pull off their sports shirts, and lick and suck each others nipples whilst jerking each other off. Then Damian stands, thrusting his fat meat into Lukes mouth, who eagerly opens wide and sucks and slurps. It's so thick Luke can't suck very deep but he goes as far as he can, even taking a hard face fucking from aggressive Damian. Luke stands and Damian returns the favor, clearly savouring every inch of Luke's monster. He sucks pretty deep, and jerks him off, then Luke fucks his face a bit. Damian then takes his time trying to deep throat all nine inches. He gets almost all the way down, struggling, then pushes hard to that final inch, fucking his throat until he can't take any more and pulls back, eyes watering. They lay back on the bed, side by side, and jerk each other off. Then Luke lays on his side to suck Damian again while jerking himself off. Damian grips Luke's head and fucks his mouth as hard and as fast as he can. After this insanely hot sucking, Luke leans back so Damian can suck him again, and he licks and sucks on it like he can't get enough, with more face fucking and deep sucking. Damian then lays on his back and Luke gets on top of him in a 69 position to suck some more. So much great sucking in this video! With Luke on his back, legs wide, Damian plays with his arse, spitting onto it and massaging the spit into Luke's smooth hole then pushing his finger in, sliding it in and out, making Luke moan. After fingering him, Damian licks Luke's arse, pushing his tongue deep into his hole. Damian lays on his back, holding his fat dick upright. Luke, facing us, lowers himself. First the thick meat just teases his hole, then Luke takwa just the first couple of inches. The thickness makes him breathless but he eases the rest of it slowly in. He rides Damian, gently to start, clearly loving the intensity as his cock is rock solid and pointing upright as he ride Damian's big meat. He gradually speeds up, then Damian grips his arse, holding him up, and thrusts into Luke harder and faster. He gives Luke a good pounding, too! Until Luke can't take any more. And then they switch. Damian was nervous but really wanted to try. So Luke goes slow. Damian lays on his back, arse on the edge of the bed. Luke takes hold of Damian's stiff dick to keep him hard and pushes his dick in, just a little. Damian makes a lot of noise, its clearly very intense! Bit by bit, Luke gets his dick in about halfway. Then he starts to fuck. Damian continues to make a lot of noise but as he relaxes, Luke fucks deeper. And a little harder. Till Damian is taking every inch like a pro. Then they try an adventurous position. Luke lays on his back, curling his legs up, rolling backwards so his knees are above his shoulders, arse up in the air. Damian stands over him, facing away, pushing his dick into Luke's hole. It's an incredible position, and I've never had guys do it before, so this was a first for me. Damian fucks Luke for a couple of minutes, and its super hot. In a final position, Luke stands, leaning against the wall with Damian behind him. He pushes his cock back in to his arse for a final pounding. And he REALLY goes for it, with long deep strokes, almost pulling all the way out as he fucks, then slamming back in as deep as he can. Luke's dick is rock solid as Damian pounds him, and looks ready to shoot. But he holds off long enough for Damian to really go for it. Lots of awesome action here! Luke can't hold off any longer and as Damian pounds him, he shoots hard. White creamy cum coats the black pillows below. Damian pulls out and Luke sits beneath him, to watch Damian cum. Damian jerks off hard, and in seconds, he shoots. Prepare yourself because when Damian shoots, he REALLY spunks hard. Several powerful jets spray Luke's chest and it was so hot I had to show it again in slow mo.
We came across Drake in one of our model searches in Atlanta. He has all the Southern charm you would expect to find in the South and a look that is real sexy. One look in his eyes and he will make you freeze like a deer in headlights. Drake has beautiful, silky dark-chocolate skin on a body that is pure muscle from head to toe. And can you imagine being held down under those strong arms? When Drake arrived and got comfortable, his personality started to shine. Drake started by stripping off his shirt and admiring his huge chest and guns. Next he drops his pants and reveals a huge cock that is standing at attention. Drake's cock is every bit of 9 inches and packs a full stream of hot white cum. Watching his pool of jizz rest against his ripped stomach is hot!
Rio Silver and Theo S.
Rio had his eye on Theo, the grounds keeper and flirts with him till Theo takes him to the barn where they get undressed fast while they kiss. Theo quickly works his way down Rio's body and stops only when he frees the throbbing cock from Rio's jeans. Rio face-fucks him hard while Theo gets his own big cock out in the open. Rio can't stop himself from wanting to taste his meat and pulls him up and against a stepladder where he kneels down and swallows it all. After having satiated himself on that dick he turns Theo around and gets to work with his eager tongue on Theo's smooth ass before filling the wet hole with his throbbing cock. Rio fucks him hard and deep till Theo shoots a big thick load while getting rammed and then kneels down in front of Rio and watch him unload from close up.
First Timers – Beau and Brandon
I don't know if this video should be titled first timers or country boys one upping each other with their prison jack off stories. Brandon and Beau were some of the first two guys we had up to the Lake House when we very first started Southern Strokes. Brandon and Beau are both as country as you can get so they are just as open and honest as a person can be. It didn't take much coaxing to get them to do a video together but as soon as the cameras turned on, both of theses boys started acting like they were back in the High School gym locker. I know that both of them wanted to jump in and suck the other one's cock but they didn't want to have to make the first move. They stripped naked and sat next to each other while they jacked off and watched a little porn. It wasn't long before their hands wondered over and they started jacking each other off. Beau was stroking Brandon's big fat cut cock when he leaned over and took Brandon's dick in his mouth and slowly took it down his throat. After Beau sucked Brandon for a while, Brandon leaned over and returned the favor. Brandon pumped Beau's rod with his hand as his mouth followed in unison. Both boys enjoyed sucking their first cock but Beau went back for seconds before they each milked out creamy white loads.
Mikel Fucks a Fleshlight
Daemon Sadi and Kenny Spreader
Daemon Sadi is resting on a black leather couch when mature white daddy Kenny Spreader sits beside him. The two are soon making out, with Kenny going for what he wants most. Big. Black. Cock. He knows what Daemon is packing and wastes little time in going after the huge piece of meat. Except Daemon plays with Kenny first, teasing and making him work for the juicy slab. Kenny proves himself to be quite the cocksucker, his mouth and jaw stretched wide to accommodate Daemon's monster as Kenny sucks him down to the base, making himself choke and gag. He takes his sweet time slobbering all over Daemon's cock before stripping down completely and giving up his ass to Daemon, who bareback fucks the cock hungry white daddy. And Daemon is NOT gentle about it, either! He slides in with one fell swoop, like a hot knife through butter. That's how hungry Kenny is for Daemon's cock. As it turns out, Daemon is super turned on by watching his own fat dick penetrating Kenny is he comes quick, seeding Kenny's greedy fuckhole. But Daemon is far from done. He goes down on Kenny, sucking his cock before getting up onto the couch and deep throat fucking Kenny's throat. Seconds later he's balls deep inside the grunting white daddy, bareback fucking him good and long before unleashing a second torrent of jizz.
Bryan Knight and Mickey Carpathio
If opposites turn you on, you're going to love Bryan Knight and Mickey Carpathio. Bryan is tall, big and meaty, while Mickey is small and hairy but equally hung. The two are good friends and occasional fuck buddies and they know how to push buttons. They get nasty and piggy, trying to outdo each other as they make out, spit on each other, then rim and suck big dick. We're talking trash, here. Dirty talking gutter sex trash that'll have you boiling as Bryan flips Mickey onto his back and licks and sucks the otter's toes while fucking him bareback. But every dog has his day and Mickey has a go at riding Bryan's hot hairy ass, fucking him with his big dick before Bryan takes control once more and stretches Mickey's rosebud open, using his eager wet tongue, thick probing fingers and big fat juicy cock. The sex pigs build to an explosive creamy finish as they get louder, piggier, and frankly forget we were even in the room watching them fuck!
Devin is a 23-year-old, 5'9″ tall country boy from Georgia. He is pretty aggressive for a Southern boy that likes fucking guys as much as he likes deflowering straight studs. Devin told us about one of his romps in High School with a straight boy. Devin got really worked up as he relived that moment when he got a hot blow job from the High School Quarterback and BMOC. Telling that story was all that Devin needed to get his motor running. He took off his shirt and pants and pulled his big semi-hard cock out of his restricting underwear. Devin was turned on and he wanted so real action. He spread open his hairy legs and slowly inserted his greased up finger and then fingers. As he worked open his hole, Devin had to pinch off the tip of his swollen cock so he didn't shoot before we were ready. Devin teased all of us and himself with his big fat cock as he milked up his cum load from his nut-sack. We told Devin to go head and let the pressure out so he started pumping his lubed up cock faster and faster. It didn't take many strokes before he sprayed his chest and stomach with his Southern Seed.
Chase Acland and Zack Acland
Married in real life, Chase and Zack Acland still have that burning fire. The only difference is that now, unlike when they first started dating, they like to take their sweet time. Nothing rushed or hurried for these two! And when it comes to no holds barred sex, the tattooed and pierced fuckers are perfectly matched. They like making out but what they really like is satisfying their oral fixations for cock and hairy ass. Bearded Chase slobbers all over Zack's pierced cock before burying his face in his husband's hairy ass, worshiping the way his man should be worshiped…tongue in hole. But Zack flips the tables on Chase and eats HIS ass before lubing up and sliding that pierced cock home. Zack bareback fucks his ginger hubby, taking him on all fours and on his back before blowing his seed inside Chase to mark his territory. Isn't he romantic?

HURON, Ohio — Enrollment gains in health-related programs spurred Bowling Green State University to plan a $16 million building project for its Firelands campus.
The university hopes to start construction by late summer or early fall and open new and renovated classroom and laboratory space by November, 2015, said Firelands Dean Bill Balzer.
He said an increase in students enrolled in nursing and health sciences programs prompted the project.
In 2000, 148 students were enrolled in health-related programs at the campus near Huron. By the fall, 2013, there were about 600 students in those programs, or a quarter of Firelands' 2,400 student body.
Mr. Balzer thinks health programs have flourished because they prepare students to enter "helping professions," an appealing prospect for many. Plus, the jobs are "more resistant to the ups and downs of the economy," he said.
The building project, authorized by the university's board of trustees last month, includes a roughly 17,000-square-foot addition and the renovation of about 47,000-square-feet inside the North and West buildings.
"The health-care industry over there is very strong, and they want more of the future labor force orientated toward the health-care industry," said BGSU President Mary Ellen Mazey.
The new space also will be used by students taking science, technology, and other courses.
The project will provide space designed specifically for lab and science uses, allowing room, for example, for an X-ray machine and training using a cadaver. It will upgrade lab and science facilities, which like on college campuses across the state, require expansion and updates, Ms. Mazey said.
Mr. Balzer said the last major campus building project was the construction of the Cedar Point Center, which includes classroom space and was built more than a decade ago.
The heath-building project will be funded with nearly $7 million in college reserves, $5 million in private fund-raising, and $4 million in state capital funds, officials said.
The project illustrates the importance of Firelands to both BGSU and the local area and will help boost economic vitality, said Ms. Mazey.
Firelands offers nine bachelor degree programs and 15 associate degree programs.

Filed under: News, Home Equity
The housing market's massive downturn several years ago took a significant toll on homeowners nationwide, and some are only now finally recovering from it. However, that number grew significantly in the fourth quarter of last year. Between October and December 2012, some 200,000 consumers who had previously been underwater on their home loans were able to get out from under their negative equity, according to the latest data released by the real estate tracking firm CoreLogic. That was down slightly from the average number added to the rolls of those with positive equity in each of the previous three quarters of the year, but brought the annual total to about 1.7 million who brought their mortgages right side up in 2012. At the end of the year, about 38.1 million people nationwide had positive equity on their mortgages.
However, despite these improvements, 10.4 million people across the country — accounting for 21.5 percent of all homeowners — were still underwater on their mortgages at the end of last year, the report said. That was down from 12.1 million at the start of 2012, though. Further, the national aggregate value of total negative equity slipped to $628 billion, a decline of $42 billion from the $670 billion observed at the end of the third quarter, and in general these improvements were driven by increasing home prices nationwide, the report said. Now, about 38.1 million residential properties nationwide are not underwater, though it should be noted that of that group, 11.3 million have less than 20 percent equity, and 2.3 million have 5 percent or less. That latter group is considered to be at high risk for slipping back underwater if price improvements do not continue in the near future.
"The scourge of negative equity continues to recede across the country," said Anand Nallathambi, president and chief executive officer of CoreLogic. "There is certainly more to do, but with fewer borrowers underwater, the fundamentals underpinning the housing market will continue to strengthen. The trend toward more homeowners moving back into positive equity territory should continue in 2013."
Experts believe home prices will continue rising at least through the end of this year, though likely not at the rates seen over the previous 12 months, because many consider those to be unsustainable overall. Nonetheless, these continued (if somewhat diminished) improvements should lead even more homeowners to get out from under their negative equity by the end of 2013.

"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
The Rangers were hopeful second baseman Jurickson Profar 's decision to skip right shoulder surgery last season would give him a chance to fulfill his promise as a former top prospect. Instead, Profar could miss his second straight season because the switch-hitter's throwing shoulder wouldn't heal, and the 22-year-old is set for a procedure Monday. ''The last thing anyone in the organization wants is to lose a player to injury on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 or Day 37,'' Banister said. ''Day 1 is about having a slow heartbeat, really controlling what you need to control.'' Injuries ruined 2014 for last year's two big additions in Fielder, the first baseman, and Choo, who is moving from left field to right. Fielder had missed only one http://joenkma.soup.io game the previous five seasons but played only 42 games before neck surgery in May. Choo dealt with nagging injuries much of the year and hit .242 before operations late on his left elbow and left ankle. With three weeks left in a lost season, manager Ron Washington resigned unexpectedly for personal reasons. Banister was chosen over Tim Bogar, who went 14-8 as interim manager. ''It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately industry,'' Daniels said.

Devina Sengupta & Shelley Singh, ET Bureau Captains of IT industry are guarded in their response to anecdotal evidence of a spike in reported cases of depression among workers in the sector, as reported by ET. Even as they emphasised the need to be sensitive to the welfare of their 3-million workforce, especially when the industry was facing headwinds, the general feeling was that stress levels in IT companies were similar to those in other sectors, but drew greater attention because of the sector's growth, status and affluence. ET takes a look at what the top honchos in the IT industry had to say about 'stress' levels of employees in the sector:

The tank. That has always been the centerpiece at the New England Aquarium, four stories of sharks, turtles, stingrays and crazy fish.
I remember the tank when I was a little kid. You would cram yourself into different window sections and wait for the shark to roll around. You would head to the top and watch the giant turtle surfacing or stare at a wet-suited staffer in the drink.
Which is why I was intrigued to head over to see what exactly it would be like visiting the Aquarium with the Giant Ocean Tank on hiatus. It's being renovated and won't open again until this summer. As we discovered, it's still a great place for kids to explore and learn about aquatic life.

"that 'cohesive' talk is bs im payin for a cd i want the most fire u can fit on that bitch only bitch niggas n critics give a fuck about if its cohesive"
Its what made CL1 so fucking great...1 producer for 1 album trying to make a mafia flick for your ears complete w/ story. Raekwon has expanded to 7 producers so far on this album....SEVEN....Im not knockin thier individual work but coming together on the importance of this album all 7 HAVE to come with a certain Cuban Linx sound. Some of thier styles may or may not have that certain feel, THATS where some worry, that thier production style is off & wont mesh well w/ Raekwon. It could be a great album full of bangers & sick lyrics, but if Raekwon wants to tell a story with thier beats, it better have some cohesion...ask yourself
Does RZA STILL make Cuban Linx type beats?
Does Dr. Dre make Cuban Linx type beats?
Does Jay Dee make Cuban Linx type beats?
Does Pete Rock make Cuban Linx type beats?
Does Marley Marl make Cuban Linx type beats?
Does Scram Jones make Cuban Linx type beats?

The former police chief of Monroeville has filed a civil suit against the municipality, as well as the interim manager and four council members, who the suit says orchestrated his demotion.
Doug Cole, who has been demoted to sergeant, filed a suit against council members Diane Allison, Bernhard Erb, Lois Drumheller and Clarence Ramsey; interim manager Lynette McKinney; and the municipality claiming breach of contract, interference with contractual relations and violations of the Sunshine Act.
Sgt. Cole is seeking monetary damages from the municipality for a loss of salary and benefits; monetary damages from the council members and interim manager for contractual losses and punitive damages; and an award for legal fees and relief as the court sees fit.
The suit also asks that the court determine the legality of meetings the council members had, as well as his demotion.
Mayor Greg Erosenko said the legal fees of the five named in Sgt. Cole's suit will be covered by the municipality.
Mr. Erosenko said he is "absolutely in support" of Sgt. Cole's lawsuit and would like to see him assume at least the position of assistant chief.
"Doug should definitely be our chief of police. ... He's just a good cop." he said.

How do you know when a motor is bad??
I have a new gws 350 motor with c gear box. Right now I'm using a 1080 gws prop, pixie 20p esc and two 1200 mah etec lipolys running in parallel.
When I ran the setup with one lipoly the esc would cut out as soon as I put the throttle up past half way. That was on the 6 volt and 5 volt cutoff. I bought another lipoly to run in parallel so that way I would have 2400mah and 18amp to run the motor with. When I throttled up to max it runs for about a second or two and than the esc cuts it off again. I don't have a multimeter yet (I have one on order) But would you say that the motor is bad causing to high of an amp draw which is causing the esc to detect a low voltage and shut off the motor?? |
ok, I'll give that a shot. Maybe the cold has something to do with it. It was only 40f out. Could that have anything to do with it??
Re: How do you know when a motor is bad??Quote:
You need to put the two cells in series....? :-( Or have I misunderstood what is going on here? |
Sorry about the confusion it wasn't two cells, it was two battery packs. Each pack is the 2s2p 1200mah 7.4 volt.
Right. Things get clearer. First of all, on that voltage on a 10x8 you are likly to be trying to drag the best part o 12A out of the motor. I'd say that was too much. Frst off I'd say a 9x7 was the better match.
Secondly, its not clear whether the cells are 1200mA/h, or the packs. If you hace two packs each of 2s2p E-tech 1200;s then you shold be able to pull 15A a pack, but yu eem to suggest that each pack is only 1200mA/h, so that makes each cell 600mA/h? E-etch are 700 and 1200, so not sure where that leaves us.... IF you are using just two e-tech 1200's per pack in series, then its not surprising that dragging 12A or so out of them flips the cutoff. However two in parallel, assuming proper connections, should work as long as the motor holds up...which won't be long by my reckoning See the datasheet for that motor and box, cells and prop here... http://www.aircraft-world.com/prod_d...em/eps350c.htm 8x6 to 9x7 recommended, or 10x4.7, or at most 10x6. So thats the first thing to fix. Then you should be able to run on 2s20 e-tech 12200 no problenms. However thigs still seem a little out of whack, so you may want to at least borrow a voltmeter and see of you are gtting around 6.5 volts under load across the ESC input. Maybe you are using too thin wire or something or a bad type of battery connector, that is losing power. You SHOULD be able to run the 350C on 2s2p packs of 1200' etechs no problem. The oly other thing that migh tcause very high currents is if the gearbox or motor is binding. |
Same issue with a 300C
Had the same issue with a GWS 300C-C, Pixie 7p with 2s Kokam 1500 HD. Either a 10X4.7 or 9.7 would engage the cutoff at 3/4 throttle with a fresh charge. Programmed the Pixie to the soft cutoff mode and it works fine now, but I prefer the hard cutoff.
I still dont understand why the motor would drag the pack down to under 3volts/cell, the batteries are new (less than 10 charges on it) and the motor was broken in. Only thing that I can think of that might be a problem is the JST connectors. I attached them to the Pixie with nice solder joints, so hopefully that isnt the problem. Could be the leads are too long? Anyone know the best way to check the power from the batteries under load with a standard multimeter? Im not an electronics expert, and dont have the money currently for a Whattmeter. Thanks.... TB |
JST connectors will not handle that current. If they are not the problem now, they will be soon. You need to replace them. Deans polarized 2 or 3 pin connectors are better suited for that application.
That motor/prop will probably draw 6 to 7 amps. Thats pretty close to the Pixie limit I think most standard multimeters have a current function. Does yours ? If it does, then read the current. Lets say it reads 7.5 amps. Then, Power (watts) = current times voltage, so, if your battery reads 7.5 volts times 7.5 amps =59.75 watts |
how much current will a 300c motor draw? would a 8.4 730mah nimh be good enough? if not, what motor would be?
Well, I set up the meter when I got home and checked the voltage using the meter. Cutoff happened exactly at 7V when on the 6V hard cutoff setting.
Im going to replace all the JST connectors with Deans mini directly to the Pixie leads. Hopefully the better connectors and shorter leads will correct the problem. TB |

EuroAirport - Serving the needs of the RegioTriRhena
With 7.3 million passengers in 2016 EuroAirport reached a new milestone in its history
History of the airport
The first Basel-Mulhouse airport
infrastructure was constructed within two months and inaugurated on 8th
May, 1946, after the first civilian aircraft had landed there a few days
before on 2nd May.
The Basel-Mulhouse airport, known under its
trademark EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, has a trinational
vocation and as such is a symbol for the international co-operation
which became absolutely vital after the Second World War.
for the Basel-Mulhouse Airport, however, go back even further to the
1930s when the authorities of the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Baselland
realized that the Basel-Sternenfeld airfield would soon become too small
due to the increase in air traffic and the use of new planes like the
At that time the French government had given the go-ahead
for a project on the border between Allschwil and Burgfelden. But once
the Second World War had broken out, negotiations were suspended.
were resumed in May 1945 and eventually led to a basic agreement
according to which France was to provide the land and Switzerland to
build the runways and airport buildings. Without waiting for the signing
of the Swiss-French treaty on 4th July, 1949 in Berne, the authorities
decided to start building the first provisional infrastructure.
the following years they pressed ahead with the extension of the
airport. In 1951-52 the Swiss customs-free road connecting Basel city
directly to the airport was built, in December 1952 the 1,600 meters
long east/west runway was completed and a year later the 2,370 meters
long main north/south runway was put into use. After the runways and air
traffic control equipment had been provided, the major buildings were
erected: the airport buildings were completed in 1966, the cargo
warehouses became operational in May 1970 and on 27th June, 1970 the
then "finished" airport was inaugurated.
Since then the existing
infrastructure has been systematically expanded and rebuilt according to
need. In 1978 the main runway was extended to 3,900 meters in order to
allow unrestricted takeoff and landing by all types of aircraft. The
extension of the cross runway by 220 meters followed in 2001. In 1979-81
the cargo hall, including the office wing was enlarged. In 1988 a
provisional hall for the upcoming express and courier freight was added
and replaced by the final "West End" in 1996. The old cargo hall was replaced by a modern new freight terminal in zone 4 in the south
east of the airport in the year 2015. It is adapted to the needs of the local industry,
particularly pharmaceutical firms.
In the Passenger
Terminal in 1990 the departure halls were redesigned and further
aircraft bays leading directly to the terminal were created through the
addition of a finger dock. In 2000-2001 this finger dock was extended to
form the present Y-shaped dock with about 25 aircraft stands.
Similarly, in order to cope with the steadily increasing numbers of
passengers, the terminal was considerably enlarged and modernized on the
land side; at the end of 2002 the extension of the French part was
opened, followed by the Swiss part in the summer of 2005. The still
existing old middle part of the terminal was rebuilt by early 2013
and its appearance adapted to that of the modern new buildings;
the renewed Hall 2 in the French part already came into service again in
the summer of 2011.
Important milestones
1946 - After two months of building, the provisional airport is inaugurated1949 - Franco-Swiss treaty signed in Berne
1952 - Opening of toll-free road between Basel and the airport
1966 - Completion of hangars with workshops and office wing
1970 - Inauguration of the passenger terminal with a capacity of 1 million passengers per year
1978 - Extension of the main runway to 3,900 m
1984 - The airport passes the 1-million-passenger mark for the first time
1987 - Launch of the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg brand
1992 - The airport passes the 2-million-passenger mark for the first time
1996 - Award as Europe's best regional airport
1998 - 3-million-passenger mark passed for the first time
1999 - Foundation stone laid for new finger dock
2002 - Inauguration of the North Passenger Terminal
2005 - Inauguration of the South Passenger Terminal
2006 - 4 million passengers for the first time; green light for expansion of the south zone
2008 - The south west "6bis" zone (aircraft maintenance and outfitting) with wide-body hangars became operational
2011 - 5 million passengers for the first time
2012 - Renovation of the old part of the Airport Terminal
2014 - The airport passes the 6-million-passenger mark for the first time
2015 - 7 million passengers for the first time; inauguration of the new Cargo Terminal
EuroAirport today
The extremely convenient location of EuroAirport at the heart of Western Europe and at the crossroads of three economically thriving regions (Alsace, North West Switzerland and Baden-Württemberg) explains the airport's success. EuroAirport is the best equipped airport on the Upper Rhine and, thanks to its infrastructure, can cope with any kind of traffic.
7.31 million passengers have used EuroAirport in 2016.
The scheduled flight network includes between 70 and 100 airports in
about 30 different countries, depending on the season. Normally they can
be reached directly every day or at least several times a week without
At EuroAirport more than 25 different airlines handle
approximately 100-120 daily scheduled flights. The market leaders are
easyJet and Wizz Air, followed by Lufthansa, TUIfly, Air France, British Airways and Air Berlin. The
presence of the leading international airline alliances Star Alliance,
SkyTeam und oneworld, which offer connections to their hubs in
Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London-Heathrow, Munich, Paris and Vienna several
times a day, provides the customer with optimum access to all the
European intercontinental hubs.
EuroAirport is not just a gateway
to the world, but also a gateway to the trinational region for all
those who visit. In 2014, 30% of the passengers were incoming tourists. This potential
can be further developed by means of specific regional tourism
In the business of aircraft maintenance and
outfitting, EuroAirport, with the local firms Jet Aviation, AMAC
Aerospace and Air Service Basel, is also one of the
world's leading competence centres for better-class business and private
Outlook for the future
The range of services offered by EuroAirport will continue to develop. In the passenger sector there are prospects of extending the Eastern European connections, of optimizing the range of classical business destinations and holiday flights as well as of diversifying the choice of flights through attracting additional airlines.
In the freight sector the old freight hall will be
rebuilt to meet the needs of express freight, and the express freight
activities will be united in one building.
Another important
project for EuroAirport and the region is the direct railway connection
to the airport. This project was officially revived by the French
government at the beginning of 2010. The current planning of the
project foresees its opening in 2020. The association EAP EXPRESS,
which was set up in October 2010, is promoting the project with
different measures to enable travellers and staff to reach the airport
more easily.
Another future construction project is the erection
of a 2- and 3-star hotel complex with 200 rooms in immediate proximity
to the Airport Terminal.

Restoration of Bally Blacksmith Shop continues
The Cook County Historical Society acquired the Bally Blacksmith Shop property in August of 2013, thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society Legacy Fund. There has been a lot of work done at the Bally Blacksmith Shop over the past few months. The short-term goal has been to remove the contents of the 1911 wooden blacksmith building in order to prepare to stabilize it. That work is nearly completed.
Stabilization and some restoration work on the structure will continue this summer. The Historical Society has hired Doug Seim as construction manager. Seim has a background working with historic structures. He will oversee the process of making the blacksmith shop safe for a future as a museum. The long-term goal is to preserve this significant place for generations to come.
Drew Johnson, who is cataloging the historic artifacts at the site, was especially pleased when the cleanup crew found an old business ledger from 1920.
The Historical Society will also soon be asking the community to share stories of their experience with the Bally family and work that they've done. The history of this site affected all of Cook County's past, and the historical society wants to be sure to gather as much information as it can about the three generations of Bally blacksmiths.
To share your stories, or to learn more about the project, visit the Historical Society website at www.cookcountyhistory.com.

Can't watch the Hornets
I live here in Lafayette , LA, I have digital cable and never see them on TV, I check all the games on all of the sport networks but never seem get to watch a game, hard for me to follow a team I know nothing about..
Anyone else have this problem? Seems to me that it would be in the best intrest for the NBA & the Hornets to air the games everywhere in Louisiana instead of showing the lakers and other teams. |

In many Western countries, crooked teeth are seen as imperfections and most people consider a straight set of pearly whites ideal.
The story is slightly different in Japan, where "yaeba," or snaggletooth, are considered cute; with some men finding the imperfect smile they form endearingly childlike and attractive.
Okay, so maybe "snaggletooth" is an unfair translation. "Yaeba" literally means "multilayered" or "double" tooth, and describes the fanged look achieved when molars crowd the canines and push them forward. It's not a serious dental deformity, but it's certainly enough to get you picked on at school in some countries.
Thanks to the popularity of pop-idol group AKB48′s Tomomi Itano and other celebrities sporting a pair of rogue chompers of their own, "yaeba" has turned into a cosmetic craze in recent years, with Japanese women of all ages flocking to dental clinics to have temporary or permanent artificial canines, called "tsuke-yaeba," glued to their teeth.
Dental Salon Plasir, located in Tokyo's ritzy Ginza district, is one such clinic offering a "tsuke-yaeba" procedure, and they've even made this informative commercial so you can see what the process of paying someone to wreck your teeth is like.
Longtime readers might also recall the world's first snaggletooth girl group, TYB48 (tsuke-yaeba48), which held their debut concert in Akihabara, Tokyo, last April.
TYB48 was actually formed by another dental clinic offering "tsuke-yaeba," Pure Cure in Roppongi, Tokyo. Excite recently sat down with clinic director Taro Masuoka to ask him about the popularity of tsuke-yaeba and how he came up with the idea for a pop group.
"'Yaeba' give girls an impish cuteness", said Masuoka. "It's a sense of beauty unique to the Japanese, but 'yaeba' can be an attractive feature on women in their teens and twenties." He even encourages the former group into his clinic with a half-price discount on "tsuke-yaeba" for middle school and high school students (ID required).
Masuoka admits that there are some women who come back to have their "tsuke-yaeba" taken off, and for that reason also offers removable-type "tsuke-yaeba" at the same price.
Regarding the formation of TYB48, Masuoka explains: "A lot of my patients are fashion-conscious and very cute. I wanted to find some way to take advantage of this, so I formed TYB48."
While TYB48 has yet to make it big on the pop idol stage, it looks like the "yaeba" craze will be sticking around in Japan for awhile; but could it ever catch on overseas?

The article's title is "Why Japanese women go for crooked teeth."
I can answer this in one sentence:
Because they're pathetic.
shinhiyata at Jan. 30, 2013 - 08:22AM JST
If this is truly a widespread cultural phenomenon with a large number of participants, then it is indicative of some sort of underlying societal problem with female self-image and body dysmorphia. The fact that this quasi-disfigurement service is offered by trained medical professionals seems bizarre and merits examination by psychiatric researchers in regards to the causes and effects of these inherently Japanese trends.
my2sense at Jan. 30, 2013 - 08:30AM JST
The Thai teens/young women are getting fake braces now (some bleed at the lips when they laugh)... just sayin. Ironically a few weeks ago we had an article about young Japanese wearing more masks. Anyway, the whole thing and these masterminded ---48 are products of the times. At least these things come off and not like tattoos. Now for the hard facts. The Japanese do not add fluoride to their tap water.. they give the kids powdered antibiotics on every cough that permanently destroys the enamel on teeth through childhood (Asia). This also causes bad breath forever. This is why Japanese teeth look very old at 25... straight white healthy teeth make faces look younger and attractive period. Nothing beats healthy teeth...like Austin Powers in the 90s. Rotten food will get stuck in these dumb things over time and this is a nightmare in the making, but this is Japan. And these people will brush their teeth all day long in their office or school bathrooms for the whiter younger kawaii look.

And yet I get J women banging on about my teeth all the time and how perfectly straight they are (Im British, by the way rickyvee!) and telling me how "lucky" I am!
So which is it? Do they really want crooked teeth? Do they secretly hanker after straight teeth? Or were they reverse-psychologing me?!

If you said that out loud in a bar in Japan you might end up with crooked teeth yourself!
I highly doubt seeing as how with teeth that crooked no one would be able to pronounce the "th" soound correctly nor understand the meaning of the word either. Bi-ka-zu.....de-aru...pa-se-chi-ku! Which is pretty pathetic in and of itself.

Well, almost.
Thunderbird2 at Jan. 30, 2013 - 04:55PM JST
Looking at the photos above, the lower photo looks okay to me. I find the Osmonds-style version of perfection much more disturbing.
rickyvee, yeah, England, where orthodontistry is provided free by the government.
More and more dentists in the UK are charging for their services now... not cheap! To be honest I was waiting for some yank to come out with the old British teeth line... well done, have a toffee apple.
I had a Japanese girlfriend about 4 years ago who had teeth like that... it never bothered me, and yes, I did find it quite cute.
ensnaturae2 at Jan. 30, 2013 - 05:08PM JST
The only astonishing thing about liking crooked teeth - (given the assortment of attractions that people of any culture might find very curious in others), is that people find it astonishing.
Leave UK with its toffee teeth decay, and USA with its unnatural rows of white marble tombstones - out of the discussion for a moment - and think of the magnificent diversity of features considered attractive - of different cultures around the world. From a few thousand years ago, to present day. And celebrate it?
Eautaceux Janais at Jan. 30, 2013 - 05:58PM JST
Hey don't hate. It's the culture in Japan, and that's what some of them like.
Having said that, I definitely want whatever they're smoking!
BertieWooster at Jan. 30, 2013 - 07:04PM JST
It's amazing what passes for beauty in different places and at different times.
Ever seen Botticelli women?
Massive thighs and tiny Bristols.
That was beauty in the 15th century.
There are those who consider massive mammaries and hips wide enough to give birth to a baby elephant beautiful.
I was amazed to hear a woman described in what sounded a very positive way as being "thick!"
From where I come, "thick" doesn't refer to the presence or absence of body fat, it means the same as "elevator doesn't go to the top floor."
Beat Takeshi thinks that a sign of beauty is a squint.
Straight teeth, crooked teeth.
What does it matter?
If they think it's beautiful, it is.
There doesn't have to be a reason for it.

Fadamor at Jan. 30, 2013 - 10:34PM JST
The "beauty" of the cosmetic appliances aside, I think it's just going to create a whole additional set of hygiene issues for the girls. The dental clinic in Roppongi that formed that band should be shunned for artiificially trying to create demand for their services.
Tahoochi at Jan. 30, 2013 - 11:09PM JST
I find this ridiculous and hard to understand..... But then I think about breast implants, lipo-suction, collogen injected lips being pretty "normal" in the culture I grew up in, and realize that it's just a different culture with the same odd human behaviors.

Some mannequins have teeth like vampires too http://www.flickr.com/photos/nihonbunka/8130362980/in/photostream
Bertie is right as usual, and I like squints too but, perhaps the logic goes something like this.
Subconsciously the Japanese know that their women are at base, just plain scary. They are taught, or preprogrammed to believe that babies are their prime objective and to rear them they'll turn you into a "salary man," and basically eat you alive. They are required therefore, to go to great lengths to hide their true nature, never growing up and wallowing in cute. But they'd be even scarier if they hid it completely. If there scariness is showing a little bit, then they are even more cute. They are like a gentleman with a bit of chest hair, or stubble showing, a hint that in fact they do still have bite.

Japanese women have always heavily conformed to their male counterparts' desires, and considering the sheer amount of creepy male-targeted marketing (teenage idols, etc.) out there at the moment, it's really not that difficult to see how something like this crooked teeth fad could have started, no matter how repulsive it is.

Jimizo at Jan. 31, 2013 - 02:13PM JST
Nothing wrong with imperfect teeth. The plastic-toothed, orange-tanned look of US TV dramas make the actors look like refugees from bad 80s movies, televangelists or GOP presidential candidates.
Tessa at Jan. 31, 2013 - 02:31PM JST
I thought this whole ridiculous fad was just that: a ridiculous fad limited to a very small sector of the general population (like tattoos, for example). Then this morning I bumped into an acquaintance, and noticed that she had had tsuke-yaeba fitted.
Gentle reader ... she's a single, retired school teacher in her fifties!!! Get ready for this "fad" to become mainstream. If people like her are doing it, then everybody will.

I wonder if that's true.
Most blokes anywhere are not really that bothered, unless she wears something particularly extreme.
I think most men are basically slobs at heart. We look after ourselves during the "hunt for a mate" stage, but having procured one, we tend to ease off and develop a beer gut and "love handles."
Or is it just me?
firstname.lastname@example.com at Feb. 01, 2013 - 12:10AM JST
Beauty is very individual and cultural thing. There's no such thing as universal beauty; would you go for those living skeletons doing the cat walks or those 250 pounders you see in the US streets? The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so leave the Japanese women alone.
nandarou at Feb. 01, 2013 - 01:21AM JST
It's so unfair... just A FEW weird Japanese girls making "yaeba". But this article seems like most of Japanese girls likely to make "yaeba". That's not true. I'm Japanese girl and I do not like "yaeba". Crooked teeth is not attractive at all..... Just saying.
Catherine Stuckey at Feb. 01, 2013 - 08:53AM JST
My mom will be thrilled to know that the teeth she went to the orthodontist for are now a fashion statement.

Crooked teeth are ugly and show bad genetics.. you are as good as your smile..
Shanique Smith at Feb. 02, 2013 - 12:41PM JST
As I see it, it's just one way of Japanese supporting each other. You have young girls who are bullied and rejected for their crooked bucked teeth. This is one way of getting young girls (who suffer from low esteem becase of something like this and who cannot afford to do anything about them), to live a normal life. Everyone blends in now. Ninety percent are natural crooked. The other ten, luckily, has clout and can help to improve on the acceptance of others. It's a sacrifice, which is undoable, on the celebrity's part. Nice gesture. Kudos to homogenity.

AVicious is an event visual design crew which does electronic multi-media performances using computers and lighting, resulting in a sort of live DJ performance art. Closely associated with Transfer, the group appeared at the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
The crew began in late 2008 as a partnership between John-Ryan Shea (the VJ) and Jeremy Glaholt (the Designer). "AVicious are performers, technicians, builders, designers and implementers of today's new brand of visual experience," according to their website. "Be they for museum installations, DJ nights, rock shows, [or] corporate events, the live visual performances are fully customizable, controllable and improvisational."
SDSU film school grad John-Ryan Shea - aka VJ JRS - began VJing in 2005 as part of the Visual Underground Series, a monthly film, rock and art showcase held around San Diego. In covert, he has accompanied locals like Grand Ole Party, Scarlet Symphony, Vena Cava, The Transit War, Goodbye Blue Monday, Rob Crow, The Truckee Brothers, The After Party and others. After the Visual Underground dissolved in 2007, he became closely associated with Transfer, who sometimes refer to him as a "fifth member."

Jennifer Lopez to Perform 'I'm Into You' May 5 on 'American Idol'
Jennifer Lopez is not just an 'American Idol' judge. She's also an 'American Idol' performer, as the quadruple threat singer/actress/dancer/judge will take the stage and perform her new single, 'I'm Into You,' on the show's May 5 episode.
The song boasts the same kind of street cred that defined her 'Jenny From the Block' days and features rapper Lil Wayne. This summer-ready jam is the follow up the fierce 'On the Floor,' which features Pitbull and re-established Lopez as a recording artist to be reckoned with.
Lopez, who has been almost motherly in her commentary towards and treatment of the 'Idol' contestants this season, will have a chance to show, rather than tell, the hopefuls how to do it all, when she takes the stage to perform the song. We can't help but wonder if Weezy will join her when she debuts the song live on a national platform. We can dream, right?
'I'm Into You' is slated to appear on Lopez's next album (and Island Def Jam debut), 'Love?,' which is due out sometime this year. With her favorable work on 'Idol' and a pair of bumpin' songs, 2011 is shaping up to be a return-to-form year for J. Lo. All she needs is a hit romantic comedy and it'll feel like 2001 all over again.

text: You might be right. But, I see it more as Lebeau understanding the importance of mixing it up. 3-4 D's traditionally have 2 gap DLmen. But, mixing in some sets where a DLman is shooting one gap, and a linebacker maybe asked to take on two makes sense. It makes sense from keeping an OL on their toes not knowing what the D is going to do. And it also makes sense to use the athletic ability of guys like McClendon and Heyward.

The star of "The Secret Circle" and "Life Unexpected," Robertson's new character is a pretty, young waitress. Angie has always dreamed of leaving her small town of Chester's Mill and studying to become a nurse. That is most likely not going to happen once the events of the TV show begin.
Robertson join a few other parts that have been cast for the series. Alexander Koch will play the role of Junior Rennie, the disturbed young man who loves Angie, Natalie Martinez ("Detroit 1-8-7") is Linda, a sheriff's deputy desperate to keep order, and Colin Ford ("Supernatural") will play an intelligent teen in the town.
"Under the Dome" will air on CBS this summer as a 13-part series. The story is based on a book of the same name by Stephen King and focuses on a small town that suddenly and inexplicably gets cut off from the outside world by a transparent dome. As time passes, the townspeople try to figure out a way to escape while even survival becomes an issue.
Steven Spielberg is producing the show, which could extend to additional seasons if successful.

U.S. News Nebraska: Bill Would Require Sex EducationMarch 15, 2013 Nina J. Bri grew up in a rural area near Ord, Neb., and then graduated from high school in Lincoln, Neb. Bri, who is HIV-positive, stated that none of the schools she attended ever warned students about the HIV virus. Classmates told her it was a "dirty disease" that could take her life, but she believed that only sexually promiscuous people, prostitutes, or junkies could become infected with HIV and that "Nebraska was not a place that it could happen." Bri testified March 12 at the Nebraska Legislature on behalf of a bill that would require public schools to offer more complete education about sex and STDs. State Senator Ken Haar of Malcolm, Neb., introduced Legislative Bill 619, and stated that 2,300 Nebraskans age 19 and younger contracted STDs in 2011. He also pointed out that African-American and Hispanic teens' birthrates in Nebraska are among the highest in the United States, and noted that the bill would address those problems. Currently, Nebraska requires general health education classes, but allows individual school districts to choose how they present the topic. The Education Committee public hearing on the bill drew varying opinions, as those present debated whether parents or teachers were the best sex education sources and whether decisions such as these should be left to local school boards and not mandated by the state. Karen Bowling of the Nebraska Family Council and Nebraska Family First testified in opposition, stating "Nebraskans want local school boards to be in the driver's seat." She criticized the bill as undermining parental authority by dictating what their children should hear. Bill supporters urged lawmakers to use their power to ensure that students in all Nebraska schools are taught comprehensive sex education, stating that much of the information currently provided to teens is inaccurate. The committee took no action on LB 619, and it is doubtful that the full Legislature will debate the bill this year because no lawmaker chose it as a priority bill. However, the issue could be raised again if supporters take the idea to the State Board of Education, which sets policies for the state's K-12 schools.
