As perhaps the most famous public-domain feature, George Romero's original 1968 "Night of the Living Dead" has been excerpted innumerable times, not just in other horror movies but in everything from "Sid and Nancy" and "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" to "That '70s Show."
As perhaps the most famous public-domain feature, George Romero's original 1968 "Night of the Living Dead" has been excerpted innumerable times, not just in other horror movies but in everything from "Sid and Nancy" and "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" to "That '70s Show." Adding itself to that long list, Douglas Schulze's "Mimesis" finds a clever way to pay more elaborate homage by building suspense around strangers trapped in a meticulous, deadly re-creation of "Night." Michigan-shot surefire fan fave should travel the genre fest circuit en route to solid home-format pickups.
After a prologue in which a farmer ("Children of the Corn's" Courtney Gains) and his wife are slain by ghouls, the story proper begins at a fan convention to which horror geek Russell (Taylor Piedmonte) has dragged his girl-crazy pal, Duane (Allen Maldonato). They hear veteran director Alfonso Betz (Sid Haig) yammer about the alleged link between violence in movies and in real life, to Duane's not-so-quiet derision. His attitude changes, however, when he and Russell are invited to an exclusive party that night by sexy goth chick Judith (Lauren Shafer). Upon arriving at the remote farmhouse locale, they discover nearly all the other guests are standoffish and Halloween-masked. There's nothing much to do but drink beer, which turns out to be spiked, as the two awaken the next morning in unfamiliar places, and in clothes not their own. Russ finds himself alongside blonde Karen (Jana Thompson) in a cemetery, where he is promptly bitten in the neck by an apparent zombie. Karen runs screaming back to the house, joining a similarly groggy, baffled Duane. Signs of prior bloodshed, "Night of the Living Dead" clips on TV and lumbering zombies gathering in the yard hardly calm their nerves, or those of the other unnerved party guests found locked in the basement: a belligerent father (Gavin Grazer), his wife (Carol Ilku) and daughter (Bryana Dorfman), and Karen's jockish friend Keith (David G.B. Brown). All bear general resemblances to characters trapped in "Night's" near-identical house. They soon realize that for whatever reason, their hosts are intent on re-creating that black-and-white blueprint's gory events, which none of their role models survived. Soon they're diverging from the script, however, killing a few not-so-dead "zombies" and eventually shaking loose some truths from semi-insider Judith. All this ably holds attention, even if "Mimesis" tends to go a bit slack between crises, and some of the violence strains credulity. Schulze (of prior horror indies "Hellmaster," "Dark Heaven" and "The Rain") indulges the irksome, meaningless stylistic tic of briefly speeding up, then slowing down images; still, his otherwise straightforward approach can be applauded at the very least for eschewing any mock-doc pretense, despite a story that might've easily accommodated that overused conceit. Nor does "Mimesis" cave in to excess genre in-joking, apart from one weak sequence that seems devised simply to feature original "Night" participant Bill Hinzman. Overall results are just sporadically scary, yet the plot's twists and turns keep viewers hooked. Perfs are uneven but mostly decent, tech/design contributions solid.Mimesis

Homi Adajania's Finding Fanny Fernandes cast and crew celebrated the film's completion
Deepika Padukone, her alleged beau Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Homi Adajania came together to let their hair down after working hard on an unconventional film. Deepika and Ranveer who are fresh out of the success of Ram-Leela managed to grab eyeballs for different reasons. While Dippy was spotted in her lucky white gown (that she also wore for the Ram-Leela screening) Ranveer Singh ditched his handlebar moustache and instead chose a clean shaven look. We didn't miss RS' freshly coloured hair. He did remind us of his debut film character Bittoo Sharma from Band Baja Baraat. While we expected the alleged couple to indulge in some PDA at this event, it was the film's director Homi who was doling out kisses to his leading lady Deepika. Guess this was Mr Adajania's way of expressing his gratitude to Cocktail heroine who had accepted a different film.
A little birdie also chirped that Homi had a quirky letter for his cast and crew who completed this film before schedule. The film was to take 50 days to complete, however, it was wrapped three days in advance despite the actors having busy schedules.
Huma Quereshi, Dimple Kapadia, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Anurag Kashyap were also present at this party. With the film set to release next summer, looks like Deepika will up the heat yet again.

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionPraying for peace in Israel. Oh, how God loves Israel, the land and the people.
So happy with you, Carole , about the baby's improvement. Edy, I was at Indiana Wesleyan University (1956-58--then Marion College) with a fellow named Bardsley. I wonder if there is any connection. I think his first name was Harold. One of the most godly women I have ever known was Gypsie Miller from North Carolina. She was known widely in Wesleyan circles for her leadership in Women's Missionary Society. She was my dear prayer partner for many years. She wrote a book that was published when she was 100, I think--just before or after she died. It is so deep spiritually, it is difficult for me to comprehend. Her husband died, Dewey Miller, died years before her. He had the most marvelous memory for Scripture of any preacher I've ever known--quoting chapter after chapter in his sermons. What a blessing they both were to me. It's extraordinarily humid here today, but I understand cooler weather is on its way. Love to all! Verna

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionHowdy, dear ones!
Howard told me, after my appointment at the women's clinic, today, that he's no longer scared. Poor sweetie. I knew he was concerned, but I guess I didn't realize to what extent. Thanks for keeping him in prayer, too - I sure appreciate each one of you! It's quite hilarious how prophetic Pr. Jean's thoughts in prayer for me have turned out. She alluded to the Great Shepherd going ahead of His sheep to prepare the way. Not only is the specialist, that my niece Angie recommended from her residency experience with her, still at the clinic, I have a followup appointment with her tomorrow...because another patient CANCELLED her own appointment just today! Appearances from the ultrasound suggest my situation is part of rather routine set of conditions for us vintage females. So, hopefully this will be something I can cross off my "bucket list" in the very near future, Lord willing. Wherever did that term "bucket list" originate, anyway? I suspect I lived my life's "dreams list," already, except for a yet unfulfilled trip to Israel and a trip back to Hong Kong (the most enchanting place I never dreamed I would get to experience that lived up to every expectation and beyond). "Jesus Never Fails!" Love, Edy

Re: Southern Porch Extension
Things you want to do before you "kick the bucket." It's okay. I didn't know until a year ago or so. I posted this in the "prayer request" board, but thought I'd post it here, too. Well, it's about time for my annual prayer request. Every summer I help with the community children's musical at my church. We have 52 kids involved this year! Each year with have at least one "glitch." This year, one of our main members of the tech/lighting/sound crew was stranded in Newark and Chicago, after a church sponsored missions trip he was on. The team was supposed to return Monday night, July 14th. Monday, their flight from Newark, New Jersey to St. Louis was cancelled. The next plan was to fly Newark to Chicago to St. Louis on Tuesday the 15th. Their flight out of Newark was delayed, and they missed their connecting flight in Chicago. The next plan was to separate and take three different flights from Chicago to St. Louis, supposed to arrive between 6 PM to 11 PM Wednesday the 16th. The first flight was cancelled, second delayed. They finally decided not to wait around any more, and rented 3 vans to drive 5 to 6 hours from Chicago to St. Louis. They finally arrived about 1:30 AM Thursday the 17th. Our tech guy was one of the van drivers, so while he was at practice that Thursday, he was in no condition to actually figure out the tech stuff, as this was his first time seeing it. So we had to add an extra practice at the last minute. They perform Friday (tomorrow) morning for "Summer Fun Days" (my church's version of VBS -- a different day each week for five weeks), Friday evening, and Saturday afternoon. Please pray that everything would come together in time. I know it will work out, but we would appreciate any and all prayers! Especially pray for the hearts of the kids, that they would remember the truths in the musical, and for those who come to see it who are not Christians. I'd also love prayers for the health and safety of all involved, but especially for the main actors/actresses. We like to live on the edge and do this without understudies. So I will not be around much, if at all, starting tonight until Saturday or Sunday. I DO lurk around here even if I don't post. (Sorry. That was long. And you probably didn't need all the background about the tech crew guy and flight delays. But oh well. ) Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
Re: Southern Porch ExtensionAll of my life I enjoyed watching films/movies of the old wild West. You know...the "shoot 'em up", "cowboys 'n Indians", "outlaws", "cattle rustlin'", "horse stealin'", "bar brawlin'", "bank robbin'" kind of stuff. I watched one such movie yesterday afternoon.
In the old West days, those caught killing, horse stealing, or cattle rustling were punished by hangin'. There was always lots of that going on. However, one thing was always confusing to me. Every time a hanging was scheduled (usually the next day at dawn), the men in the town would always be shown in the town-square busily sawing wood and pounding nails as they built the new gallows framework. With all the hangings being done back then, why did they need to build a new gallows framework each time there was a hanging? They would have saved a lot of time and work by using the old one. Inquiring minds want to know.... Don John 14:6

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionDon, my guess is that they didn't want the gallows "hanging around" (no pun intended) to remind them of the lawlessness of the area. Or it may be that the jail had an agreement with the local lumber store to buy new lumber for every hangin' to keep the lumberman quiet about the hanky-panky going on in the jail. Of course, that's only a guess.
Don, I share your enthusiasm for western movies. I have a collection of about 200 westerns which I've played over and over. My husband, sons and grandsons (none of whom care a fig about westerns) think it's the funniest thing to see the matriarch of this home happily ensconsed in her bedroom recliner munching on popcorn or sliced apples lathered with peanut butter. All this and heaven, too. Allison, you are one busy little bee and I'll pray you're given strength to do all that you do. Edy, I hope to hear an "all clear" any day now from your little engine that could. I think Howard must be one wonderful, loving, supportive, understanding man (and that's just for starters!) Verna, I've heard that Charlotte is the hottest city in the state. Is that so? We have ocean breezes to cool us down but you don't even have that. Even so, Charlotte is one city I could have lived happily in all my married life, as long as I could have belonged to your church and lived next door to you! Happy Lord's Day everyone! I love you all. Mariane Holbrook
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
Re: Southern Porch ExtensionDon, you have one busy, busy inquiring mind!
Prayers for you, Allison, for all you need to get done. Edy, so thankful for the way God is "going ahead of you," and I like your word, "vintage"! My very dear Mariane, I would love to have you as neighbor, and I love my church and many other things about Charlotte, except for the traffic. Fortunately we live close to the places we like to go, and we can even walk to a shopping center with grocery, drugstore, restaurants, etc. It is just over the hill and a little road behind us, but our huge juniper bushes on the hill and Leland Cypress at the top, fronting a woods area, make a wonderful privacy screen. I do remember warmer summers, but the weatherman has predicted 97 degrees today. That's hot for us! It's supposed to dive back into the 80's about Tuesday and linger there. A blessed Sunday is wished for all. Verna

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionWell, It went really well. Saturday was the final performance.These 52 kids were rock stars, though. Even though they sped thought the songs at the end like a speeding bullet for the first performance on Friday, these kids were awesome. Friday morning,in the second song, there was some weird technical glitch were the opening sequence underscore was playing over/with the actual song. But man, they stuck with it, watched the director (I assume, as I was back stage) and made it through without having to restart the song. Friday evening went much better, and the one Saturday afternoon was the best of them all. I'm so proud of those kids!
I'm glad it's over,but at the same time, I'll really miss working with those kids. I love it! Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
Re: Southern Porch ExtensionFrom my deck I have a perfect view of my beach. I saw the craziest thing out there today. There were four ducks standing on the sand - a mama hen and her three almost-grown babies.
I believe mama was doing a "show and tell" demonstration of "Basic Flight 101" for her kids. Facing the kids, she stood there flapping her wings for about 15 seconds while they watched. Then, the kids flapped their wings, but one of them gave up after a few seconds. The other two flapped their wings for at least 20 seconds - so hard and fast their wings looked like a blur of fan blades churning at high speed. Those two had their necks stretched upward toward the sky trying very hard to become airborne. It almost looked like they were standing on the tips of their webbed feet to gain height. Of course, their wing feathers had not yet developed enough to achieve lift-off. With that, the lesson was over, but will probably be repeated tomorrow, and the next day, the next day, and the next, until they pass the course. Eventually they all will soar in the air.

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionI know I have not been active on here lately, but I didn't realize it had been since February that I last logged on. I see you have all carried on just fine without me. I did not and will not be going back to read all the posts since February.
I have been busy taking a class called Perspectives On the World Christian Movement. Jan Ross recommended it to me. It started April 4 and ends next week. I have about 20-25 pages left to read for the assignments, one quiz on this week's reading, some discussion posts to make (3 minimum) and a paper on an unreached people group to finish. That is where most of my time has gone. That plus working 7 days a week between the two jobs. I am about to quit the weekend job at the gas station, though. This last week I went to the doctor because I was tired of my feet being so sore after working the weekend. I thought I probably had Plantar Fasciitis, but X-rays suggest more. I have bone spurs on both heels and degeneration in the midfoot and the joint of the right big toe. The radiologist also listed Plantar Fascial Fibromatosis which means benign tumors on the plantar fascia. But the article I found online explaining that said they cannot be diagnosed by X-rays alone. But it does better explain the type of pain that I have than does Plantar Fasciitis, which is inflammation of the plantar fascia. So, I go to the podiatrist tomorrow morning. "We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners." You have wearied the LORD with your words. "How have we wearied him?" you ask. By saying, "All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them" or "Where is the God of justice?" Malachi 2:17
Re: Southern Porch ExtensionWelcome back to the porch, Joanney!
It's been said that "when your feet hurt - everything hurts." I believe there is much truth in that statement. As you will see, many of the regular porch-sitters have bailed-out to spend time elsewhere. The porch often resembles a ghost town. Other than infrequent visits by two or three of us, it's not the same as it once was with the fun, caring, sharing atmosphere and fresh-baked goodies shared daily. Even 'Old Blue' has abandoned ship for something else. Tell us more about your class, and what you intend to do with it after finishing. By the way, I know Jan Ross, and believe her "Heart of God International Ministries" is a good one for sharing the saving gospel with the lost. Don John 14:6

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionHi Joanney-
Nice to see you again! I pray for you often and love your updates on Facebook about your boys, your jobs, etc. Are you still involved with the same church? How you pack so much into 24 hours leaves me breathless. God bless your sweet self and your boys! I haven't seen any of Simon's poetry lately. Is he still writing? I want to ask all of you a question, and please feel free in your response: I came across this link while surfing the net. What a surprise! However, I wish they had been more careful about attribution. I wonder if I should call their attention to the fact that I wrote it or just be glad it was published. http://www.victorykickboxing.com/blog/f ... at=4&m=&y= Mariane Holbrook
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
Re: Southern Porch Extension
I think you would be perfectly within your rights to ask for proper attribution. But then give them something back. Give them the link to your FW profile page, and suggest that if they enjoy short stories like that, they they could look at the FW site, but urge them to properly attribute anything they use from there. Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
Re: Southern Porch ExtensionI agree with Allison, but I'm afraid I am a bit more hot under the collar that anyone would post someone else's work, especially our precious Mariane's, and not even hint it isn't their own composition. If they found it elsewhere, without attribution, at least they could have indicated "Author Unknown."
Here's what I sent in reply to BeachGrandma's email, for your comments/corrections where I am in the dark:

Re: Southern Porch ExtensionJoanney, I understand. I haven't stopped by in a little less than a couple of weeks, and there are too many posts to respond to. Anyway, hi and wonderful to see you here!
West Texas still remains hot and fairly dry, although we are a little better off than the the last three years. We do have a chance for rain the next several days. Please pray that we get it. I agree that Mariane should definitely let the person posting her work know it is NOT okay. I answered her post on Facebook about it. It is shocking, to say the least, that someone would do this. Do any of you have some really good, husband pleasing recipes (as in MUST contain meat) that don't require cooking or heating up the kitchen? Although our central air works great, I just don't enjoy cooking much when it is this hot. We do use the grill occasionally, but it's really too hot to be outside. We also eat out some, but that gets old. Any and all suggestions appreciated! I'm Bound for the Promised Land

Agalma Miquel; Heptapleurum Gaertner; Sciodaphyllum P. Browne.
Shrubs or trees, sometimes climbers or epiphytes, evergreen, hermaphroditic or andromonoecious, unarmed. Leaves palmately compound, rarely unifoliolate (not in China), margins entire to serrate; stipules united within petiole. Inflorescence a terminal or pseudo-lateral panicle or compound raceme; flowers arranged in umbels, heads, or racemes; bracts pubescent, deciduous or persistent. Pedicels not articulate below ovary. Calyx rim entire or 5-toothed. Petals 5-11, valvate. Stamens 5-11. Ovary (4 or)5-11-carpellate; styles partly or completely united into a column or stigmas sessile. Fruit a drupe, globose or ovoid. Seeds (4 or)5-11, laterally compressed; endosperm uniform or slightly ruminate.
Nearly 1100 species: widely distributed in tropics and subtropics of both hemispheres; 35 species (14 endemic) in SW and SE China.
Several recent phylogenetic studies have shown that Schefflera is clearly polyphyletic (Lowry et al., S. Afr. J. Bot. 70: 382-392. 2004; Plunkett et al., Pl. Syst. Evol. 245: 1-39. 2004; Plunkett et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 92: 202-224. 2005) and that the Asian species belong to a single, well-supported, morphologically coherent clade. The name Schefflera will ultimately have to be restricted to a small group of species from the SW Pacific while the Asian species will have to be transferred to one or more other genera.
We were unable to treat Schefflera cavaleriei (H. Léveillé) Frodin (World Checklist Bibliogr. Araliaceae, 330. 2004 ["2003"]; Heptapleurum cavaleriei H. Léveillé, Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 9: 326. 1911) because the original description is not sufficiently detailed to associate the name with any of the species recognized here, and we were unable to locate the type material, which was collected in Guizhou according to the protologue.

Welcome December! Hello Holidays!
This is the part of the year where everyone is more than excited for one big celebration. There are already bazaars in every corner and great shopping sales in the malls. Christmas songs are hitting the airwaves every minute while most of the streets and facades were already decorated with colorful lights and ornaments.
Speaking of light shows and decors, aside from those in Ayala Triangle and San Juan, if you ever find your self walking or running in Bonifacio Global City, try to look up around the area and you will mostly notice this interesting thing they did. As we all know, there are lots of construction going on in BGC in almost every corner 24/7. And who would have thought that those cranes we feel as an obstruction to our sight in the morning will turn out to be something colorful and interesting at night.

Then you should spend christmas dito sa pinas this year. uwe na!
Ang ganda naman ng mga cranes.. astig!!!
Hi xander, thank you so much for visiting my blog. I checked yours too, gaganda ng photos mo.
I really like how BGC management exerts effort to make the place alive and a good place to hangout.
I work in the Fort but never noticed these! Will definitely be on the lookout next time.
Great photos! Everywhere We Shoot had a project with the Samsung Galaxy Camera and they shot all these cool Christmas scenes around Manila too. Christmas in the Philippines is really something special.
Great blog!

"Wow. Thank you"
This book was very good. It articulates the reformed view in the simplest terms as possible. I hope many modern evangelicals take the time to read this. It is worth it.
"Great change of pace,quality writing, great reader"
entertaining, informative, riveting
I love listening to her tell Luther's antagonist off in such a genteel way.
"British woman with bad accent"
The narrator was absolutely terrible. I was looking forward to this book, but can't understand her British accent. I've only listened to 3 minutes of her reading out of the 11 hours I purchased and I am ready to ask for a refund.

A Fast And Efficient Method For Link Outreach
Paid links exist. They always will. It's impossible to launch a full scale SEO campaign without money for link outreach. There are a number of places to acquire these links: Digital Point, link packages (which I never recommend), hiring an SEO firm etc. At the end of the day, if you're outsourcing your SEO efforts you are paying for links. The only instance when you aren't technically paying for links is if you're part of the 1% of sites that command authority and create such incredible content that your fans do the link building for you. But if you happen to fall in the 99% then you have to roll up your sleeves and engage in link outreach activities.
One of my favorite ways of discovering new link opportunities is using the social bookmarking site Stumbleupon. At it's core, Stumbleupon is a way of recommending useful sites to other members of the community who share your interests, a "social search engine". I've learned much of what I know about SEO by "stumbling" through peer-recommended, digital marketing-related websites.
Targeting sites within your keyword stratosphere
On your Stumbleupon profile you can pick your "interests", areas and topics that you would like to explore and learn more about. Although a lot of people probably pick "funny", "sports", or "celebrities", there are a myriad of other channels that can be used to learn a new skill. If you were to look in my personal channel you would find; "seo", "web development", "photoshop", "digital marketing" and other technical areas that I've used to broaden my skill set. While you can stumble through "all" of your interests you can also pick specific ones. This is especially useful for finding new link opportunities.
The scenario: you have a client that who has an ecommerce website that sells iPhone accessories. They want to rank in Google for the search term "cheap iPhone covers". They're a new website to boot. Where do you start? Unless you have a kick-ass content strategy where people are flocking to the site daily for new information, the best use of your money is SEO (in my humble opinion). Although it's proven to be a slow burn, SEO is still the holy grail of marketing, paying dividends when you finally make it to the first page of Google and essentially getting free hits to your website.
Stumbling the iPhone category
You need sites to link to you that are relevant to the iPhone niche. Navigate to your Stumbleupon profile and add "iPhone" to your interests. Then, depending on what browser you're using, install the Stumbleupon toolbar. It will appear on the top of your browser. Next to the big "Stumble!" button is a drop down area where you can pick your interests. Select "iPhone" and hit "Stumble!". You'll be served websites/pages that focus specifically on the iPhone (as tagged by your fellow Stumblers). When targeting appropriate pages to acquire links it's important to make sure they're completely relevant to the iPhone niche. Google's algorithm is increasingly wary to links on sites that have nothing to do with yours.
Reaching out to webmasters
The next step is finding the "contact" section of the website. In most cases you will find a quick form asking for your name, email, subject, and inquiry. I typically will ask if the site accepts either guest posts or sponsored text links. A few tips when reaching out:
- Make it personal: Copy and pasting a stock message turns many web masters off. Try throwing in something specific I.E.- commenting on their blog content or stating exactly what page you think a relevant link would make sense.
- Offer to pay promptly: Nothing puts a smile on an internet marketers face like money coming in. If you are able to acquire a link be sure to pay as soon as it's live.
- Get permanent placements: There's no bigger pain than having to worry about renewing links once they expire. Offer to pay extra if they can leave the link up permanently.
- High authority site=guest post opportunity: On sites are visited thousands of times daily and shared on social networks it may be better to offer a "guest post". This provides value in the form of new content for the publisher and also tends to cost less.
- Avoid blog "networks": Although these are hard to identify a basic and first step is to check if you're putting links on sites that share the same IP address. Google will devalue your site if you spread links across several domains on the same shared hosting accounts.
The possibilities are endless if you use the Stumbelupon route. It's a powerful tool in any SEOs arsenal and should be utilized to avoid "black hat" link placements. Sites within Stumbleupons index are usually high quality because they are "peer recommended". Be careful though, not to afire links too fast. This is unnatural in Googles eyes. Patience is key.

Just sent that to sioc-dev, but I guess it worth a larger announcement :
We just made some changes to the SIOC Core ontology and to the related modules:
– Added OWL-DL compliance statements for SIOC Core and the Types / Access / Services modules
– Edited owl:disjointWith statements for some classes of SIOC Core
– Removed domain of sioc:note
– Removed domain of sioc:has_owner and range of sioc:owner_of
– Defined sioc:account_of as inverse property of foaf:holdsAccount
– Defined sioc:avatar as a subproperty of foaf:depictionSo, SIOC is now OWL-DL !
This change was motivated by the current SWANSIOC integration project that will be introduced during the upcoming ISWC tutorial on Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences.The SIOC Core Ontology Specification has been updated according to the changes.
The other good news regarding SIOC is that Yahoo! SearchMonkey now supports (and recommends !) it in its developer documentation. Moreover, in case you did not already read it, John published the Tales from the SIOC-o-sphere #8 about two weeks ago.
More generally, if you want to join the SIOC community, by developing new applications or APIs, or if you request some help regarding implementing SIOC in your existing tools, feel free to come on #sioc on irc.freenode.net or ask on the sioc-dev ML.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
BarebackFever.tv is up for review today, and this is obviously a hardcore gay site that features no condoms, hence the name bareback. Beyond that, it's a pretty standard hardcore site, with slightly younger guys, most of which I'd guess are outside of the USA. I don't see any network access, but the content seems to be exclusive at least. A whopping $40 a month is what it'll take to be a member, which is quite high in my opinion.
Unique bareback gay sex. The best thing going here is just the type of content they offer. The bareback aspect isn't terribly unique, but for some people, I'm sure it's a ton better than watching the condoms fly on halfway through the fun.
Other Good Stuff:
Pretty small collection. At 28 scenes, it's just one of the smaller sites you'll come across. Assuming you love all of the scenes, and jack off daily, that won't even get you through your first month's membership. For the price, you really need more content.
Collection never seems to grow. Updates supposedly come weekly, yet the site has remained at 28 scenes for months now. The owner says the site is active, but I don't know what that means exactly. They're either fudging the dates, with nothing new coming online; taking old content off for a few months, and reposting it as a new scene; or taking off old content, and actually adding new scenes weekly. I hope it's the latter, but none of the options are great unfortunately.
Minor Negatives:
Some okay scenes, but there are quite a few things going against them.
BarebackFever.tv fulfills their promise of some hardcore bareback gay scenes, but that's about the best thing going here. It seems to be exclusive, and updates seem to come weekly. However, the collection is very small; despite updates, the collection size never seems to grow. The owner let us know that the site is active, so hopefully the material is new, but at minimum they're taking off the older content (I can only hope that the updates are not old content coming back on). The quality is average, and the site feels a bit plain with no navigation options, and very few viewing options. The high price is the final nail in the coffin for me, which is a tough pill to swallow, especially without network access. There are a few okay scenes here, but I'd have a hard time joining this site overall.

I recently bought a 96 Firebird with great engine but front end problems.
My local mechanic did not find anything unusual except a poorly maintained vehicle and recommended struts, which I had him install. A few days later I started the car, put it in reverse but rather than motion there was just a sickening hard metal clunk from the right front. Upon inspection, the strut was hanging there and the wheel was separated from the axel, the chasis was resting on the tire.

T-Roofic's bolts 1-3; FLea Circus' bolts 3-4-anchors. Use a long draw on Flea Circus' bolt 3.
The Protection field describes the route. T-Roofic's so good, I bet no one did this linkup before me. If I'm wrong, scold me. The linkup goes up nice pockets, somewhat hard to read, for a longer climb. Grade is the same because it's longer but an easier finish. Nice side-effect: toprope Flea Circus afterwards.

This puts them at somewhat upper mid-level IEMs. The 1XB and the 1VS are TFTA's two high end models where the 1XB is tuned to produce more sub-bass.

Kings Claim First Stanley Cup
Posted on 12 Jun 2012 by Eric Cooney.
Belief and disbelief. Two words Los Angeles Kings fans are now very familiar with. It's always easy to believe when things are going well. Yet, when the chips are down you learn who the real fans are. After a slow start, a coaching change, extended losing streaks, and goal droughts there wasn't a lot to believe in for Kings fans. A #8 seed only meant another early exit at the hands of...

5 Reasons No One Should Be Surprised By the Kings
Posted on 29 Apr 2012 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings are playing quite well for the 8th seed in the West. They toppled the 1st seed Vancouver Canucks, who just won their second straight President's Trophy. I know it's just 1 game into the 2nd round against the 2nd best team in the West (and league, really) but the Kings Game 1 road victory poses some questions. How is this 8th seed so good? I know it's not the first time an 8th ...

'Melo and the Knicks use big second half to take down Nets
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Daniel Sailofsky.
The Knicks came into this one needing a W, and that's exactly what they got. Trailing the 76ers by three games going into this one, the Knicks needed this game badly to keep pace with Philly for the all important 6th seed in the East. The 76ers won last night, as did many of the teams trailing the Knicks, heightening the pressure for tonight's matchup against New Jersey at the Garden. Havin...

Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Wed 19th of November 2008
This is my first story. I think it's quite long but please bare with me, i plan on continuing in a few more storys and developing! Please leave a post and let me know. Remeber, more to CUM!
My name is Charlie. Since the age of 13, I have been helping out in my local boys youth group. I'm now 17 and have made loads of friends, both young and old, in particular one boy called Olly. Olly, who was 11 going on 12. Was pretty special to me. I really did care for him and out of all the boys he was my fave! He was small for his age, both in height and build. He had big green eyes and short dirty blond hair. Olly was adopted from a baby, and he was one of the first boys that I met at the group. Being 17 now, the last 2 years we had grown really close. As a "leader" at the Group I wasn't supposed to really hang out with the boys outside of it. But Olly was my boy and I didn't care. I had him round for dinner, picked him up from school, took him the cinema and bowling. We did everything. He was like my little bro in a way. We kept everything we did a secret, he understood that I wasn't supposed to be doing all this cool stuff with him and he new his parents wouldn't be very happy either. So it was our secret. But we were happy.
I became obsessed with him over time and as much as I tried to stop myself, I couldn't help but check him out when we were together. The worst was when he would come round and stay until quite late. We would sit in my room on my bed watching TV or playing on the playstation and sometimes he would cuddle up to me. He would lay there in my arms and I would slowly stroke his belly with my thumb. My cock would get so hard doing this and I always found myself with one of my legs folded up, hiding the budge. I would watch to see if he would ever get a boner while I stroked, him being 11, I thought he would be at the age where he starts getting them very easy. But I never saw any lumps or bumps!
Now this is where things start to get interesting. One Saturday I picked Olly up from round the corner where he lived (I couldn't pick him up from outside his house because of his parents) We were of the cinema then swimming. He got in the car and I noticed his eyes were blood shot, he had been crying!
"whats up dude?"
"come on, how long have I known you. Now whats the matter?"
"my dick of a dad, thats what. He has basically told me that he wants me stay at my grans tonight cos he and my mum want a night to themselves."
"thats not too bad though is it?"
"yeah. I gotta be back for 6 so they can take me over. I was supposed to be with you today."
"well it's not like you never see me is it?"
I didn't get any answer from that one, so I just pulled off and made for the cinema. We got there, picked the tickets up, got the popcorn and went into the screen. We didn't really say anything to each other, before or after the film. It wasn't until we were sat having dinner after the cinema that a idea came to me.
"Ol. I know ya upset wif ya parents. But how does this sound. Instead of staying at ya grans, do ya wanna stay a mine?"
"WHAT?, Really?"
"yeah, but we gotta be careful, our secret ya know"
"I've wanted to stay for ages. I new it wouldn't be easy so I never asked."
"Ok, if we are going to do this, we gotta do it right. Number one, I'm gonna have to sneak you in to my room so my parents don't know your there. Number two, ya gonna have to sleep in my bed wif me. I can't blow the air bed up if your supposed to be there in secret. Number three, you obviously gotta get ya parents to let you stay out. Tell them ya staying at a mates. You think they will let ya?"
"Easy. As long as I'm not there, they won't care. The other stuff is fine two. I can't wait."
With that, he was was back to his normal happy self and we went on to the pool. In the changing room, I tried to catch a glimpse of Olly's dick but he was well accomplished at hiding it when changing. All the time we were there, I would watch him. Looking at that body, that "V" shape tummy. Every time he got out of the pool to go to the diving board, I would try and see his wet shorts suck in around his dick and balls, but he manged to pull them away before anyone could see. We were in the pool for a couple of hours then decided we had best get out and put our plan into action. I didn't waste time while getting out of the pool, trying to see him and his dick. I just wanted to get him on the phone to his parents. With a bit of luck, I would be sleeping with a very sexy and cute 11 year old tonight!
We got back to my house around 7.30pm. Olly was right about his parents. They didn't care where he stayed, as long as he wasn't at home. When we got back, my parents were out, so I didn't have to sneak him in. We went upstairs to my room, locked the door and settled in for the night. For the first couple of hours we were pretty hypo. I think Olly was excited about staying over and I was soooo happy about having this kid to myself all night. All the thoughts in my head were astonishing. I was thinking of all the stuff I wanted to do to him. But still, the "caring" thoughts were there, along with a bit of guilt but he did look sexy as hell. We settled down around 10.30pm when we heard my parents come in from the pub. They never come up to my room anymore, so they would never know Olly was there. About half hour later, we decided to climb into bed and put a film on to chill out. The time had come at last!
"what you gonna wear in bed"
After Olly asked me this it took a short while to answer
"I dunno, I normally sleep in my boxers, so I guess thats what I'll do. Will leave a t-shirt on though i think"
"ok, I will do the same then"
We both got undressed down to our boxers and t-shirts. It felt like it was meant to be. No awkwardness or anything. I couldn't help but look at his boxers, thinking of how big his cock is behind them, if he has any hair and if he is circumcised or not. I started to get hard so i quickly climbed into bed. I put on Harry Potter for us to watch, it was one of his fave's. It didn't take long for him to get into the normal position of cuddling up to me. My dick rose so quick. it was raging and pulsing. I was in bed with an 11 year old boy, in our boxers an T's. I just wanted to rip his clothes of there an then.
Two hours had passed and Olly had fell asleep. I couldn't wait anymore, all guilt had gone, my cock was ruling my head now. He was still in my arms and i had my hand in the usual place of his belly. I slowly started to work his t-shirt up so i could get my hand on him properly. I made contact with his skin, it was warm and soft, my dick pulsed a little. I started to feel my way around, as i had the covers over us i couldn't see what i was doing. I found his belly button and felt around the waist band of his boxers to get a feel of how asleep he was. He didn't move a muscle. I went for it. I found the top of his boxers again and started to move my hand slowly into the elastic waistband. It was so warm and soft in there, my heart was pounding, what if he woke up. I went lower and lower and then i found my goal. My hand was on his little dick. I started to feel round it slowly, went lower to his balls. He didn't have any hair as far as i could tell and he wasn't circumcised either. I was in heaven. My cock was throbbing like mad. I wanted to blow my load there and then, but i held of, i didn't want it to end. I was playing for about ten minutes, stroking, squeezing pulling the skin back and having a little play with his bell end. Then, his dick pulsed and again and again. He was getting a boner. Within seconds is was hard as nails and i continued to play. My dick was leaking pre-cum like you've never seen. And still i played. I moved up and down his shaft, real slow, i didn't want to wake him. I could feel his balls tighten and i squeezed a little harder on the end, he pulsed and shifted in his sleep. I nearly had a heart attack. I pulled out my hand so quick i nearly hit him in the face. He rolled over onto his back out of my arms. I left him for a couple of minutes, he seemed to have gone back to a deepish sleep. My dick had gone limp, i think because of the sudden shock of him moving. But i couldn't stop there, not now. I slowly pulled of the covers from the both of us. I sat myself up next to his sleeping body. His t-shirt was still pulled up and i could see, at last, that he still had a boner.
I had to move on to the next level. I had this 11yo kid next to me fast asleep. I reached out and touched his boner over his boxers, just to test the water. When he didn't move i went in. I gently pulled down the front of his boxers to reveal that dick. There it was, sticking up, hard as rock with no hair at all. I started the feel up and down the shaft again with my free hand as i held down his boxers with the other. I wanted more. I pulled down his boxers enough so i didn't have to hold them anymore and carried on. I must of played with it for about fifteen minutes and decided to go further. I wanted that little boner in my mouth. Very gently i lowered myself down to his dick and took it in my mouth. God it was good. I took the whole thing in my mouth, and came up slowly getting it nice and wet then went at it a little faster running it round and round in my mouth. I started to pull back his skin a little bit at a time, it was tight now he was hard, i don't think he had pulled it back that often, if at all. I managed to get his bell end out in all its glory, it had a small amount of smegma around it, but i didn't care. I got my lips nice and wet and went down on it once more. I swallowed the white smegma and gave his bell end a nice "clean". How i managed to keep my load in my balls i don't know, but i did.
Olly didn't move a muscle, i thought maybe he might be awake but his breathing was slow and deep so i was happy he was out of it. I couldn't wait any longer. I had to blow my load. But how? Olly was led there with his still rock hard cock and i decided. I kinda moved over him, half kneeling half lying. I positioned myself so my cock was directly above his then moved down. His small hard dick made contact with mine and the feeling was out of this world. I moved my bell end over and round his end, up and down his shaft and over his balls. My pre-cum had soaked his little dick witch made our dicks all slippy and feel a thousand times better. I couldn't hold of any longer, our dicks were end to end, i moved mine round in circles around his and could feel it building.
Then that was that. My balls erupted all over his little boner. The orgasm was immense. Three, four, five thick squirts of my cum. On the come down of my orgasm i just wanted to collapse on him but i couldn't leave him in that state. I slowly moved of the bed and grabbed a pair of socks to wipe off my cum. I left a small amount on his bell end and pulled his skin back over it. I laid down next to him exhausted. I turned of the film ten minutes from the end and settled down back next to Olly to go to sleep. While i lay there just dozing off, i couldn't help think about what i had just done. This kid trusted me, maybe even loved me and i just sucked his dick and coated it in my cum. Then the thought that even now, there was a small amount of that cum still left in his dick. My dick started to get hard again. Needless to say, my dreams that night were of all these beautiful boys from the youth group, in my bed being sucked off!
When we woke the next morning, Olly woke and got out of bed to go to the toilet in my en-suite bathroom. When he stood up, I could see a lump in his boxers that i new was that little boner. He went and done his business in the toilet and came out none the wiser. I led there thinking, if only you knew my little sex pot, if only you knew.
After that night, he stayed over a couple more times where i perfected my assault of him. The next time i had to go further!!
