Followup: Jamie Waylett Admits to Cannabis Possession Charge
Jul 16, 2009
A followup today regarding the case involving actor Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe) and his arrest involving possession of an illegal substance. Appearing at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, England, the Telegraph reports Jamie plead guilty to growing ten Cannabis plants at his mothers home in England. Readers will recall that Jamie (19) and a friend John Innis (20) were both arrested a few months ago after a police search of a friends car found eight bags of Cannabis and a knife. Later searches of their residences produced the plants at the Waylett home and three additional bags belonging to Innis. The paper states of the events today in court:
Innis admitted possession of a knife and having 11 bags of cannabis. Adjourning the hearing until July 21, chief magistrate Timothy Workman said: "Clearly
the possession of cannabis is a serious matter and indeed the possession of
knives is serious as well. "At the moment I'm not giving you any promises as to how the court will
deal with this case."
Defending, Cheryl Rudden said Waylett had been videoing the road side for a
music compilation when he caught the attention of officers. The court heard police found shots of the cannabis plants that the star had
been growing on the same camera. This led them to search the men's homes.
Ms Rudden told the court: "There are possibly issues as to his future in
his field so far."

NVIDIA GTX 580 Review
Unigine Heaven Benchmark 2.0 is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on the Unigine engine. What sets the Heaven Benchmark apart is the addition of hardware tessellation, available in three modes. Moderate, Normal and Extreme. Although tessellation requires a video card with DirectX 11 support and Windows Vista/7, the Heaven Benchmark also supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and OpenGL. Visually, it features beautiful floating islands that contain a tiny village and extremely detailed architecture.
- 4xAA
- 16xAF
- Shaders = High
- Tesselation = Normal
- Measurement = FPS
Higher = Better
Unigine 2.1 is a benchmark that uses varying degrees of tessellation. This makes it an ideal benchmark to test DX 11 video cards and their tessellation performance. While the GTX 480 was strong and outperformed all the single GPU cards from AMD, the GTX 580 takes that performance to another level.

Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum Review
NVIDIA and their AIB partners released the latest card in the FERMI product stack just a over two weeks ago with the introduction of the GTS 450. The GTS 450 fits neatly into the $130 price/performance point where the majority of gamers spend their video card dollars. This price point is where video cards that can handle resolutions up to 1680 x 1050 are found. This version of the modular FERMI architecture is designed to be the replacement for the much maligned GTS 250 (For the reason of it being a victim of a renaming backlash that was done to streamline its product stack more than its actual performance characteristics) and fill that price and performance void in which NVIDIA was not currently competing. Packing a single GPU cluster with 192 CUDA cores and 1GB of GDDR5 memory, the performance has been shown to put it in the ballpark. Palit has a total of three versions of this card that go from bone stock to the fastest factory clocked GTS 450 currently available. The Sonic Platinum edition comes with clock speeds of 930/1860Mhz on the fixed function units and CUDA cores and a 1000Mhz clock on the 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The cards the GTS 450 is meant to compete with are the HD 5770 and HD 5750. In this review we will find out how the performance of this highly clocked Sonic Platinum edition stacks up with the competition from ATI.
Closer Look:
The front panel of the packaging shows the silhouette of an engine that has the Palit graphics engine logo on it. This gives the impression that you have a powerful graphics card within the confines of the box. Knowing the past performance of Palit's Sonic Series video cards, the link to a high performance engine is justified. The badge to the right side of the panel shows that this is not just the "Sonic" edition but the "Sonic Platinum" edition which comes with yet another bump in performance via higher clock speeds. The green background coloration usually lets you know what brand card you are getting. Palit uses green for NVIDIA and red for ATI based graphics cards. But then with the ATI name going, away will the color change? Who knows. Along the bottom edge is a list of NVIDIA specific technologies that this card supports such as PhysX, CUDA, 3D Vision and SLI as well as being DirectX 11 capable. The back side of the package has more detail on the Geforce specific technologies as well as a short listing of the technical specifications of this card in multiple languages.
Inside the outer shell you have a plain cardboard box that houses the Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum edition video card. The card is sealed in a static free bubble wrap style bag and is held securely in place with cardboard walls folded strategically so that the form is structurally rigid (with some give) to prevent damage in transit. Pretty much standard for the Palit lineup. I have never been a fan of this style of packaging, preferring a foam insert instead. But, I have yet to have a card from Palit arrive DOA so this method seems to work.
The contents of the package includes the Palit GTS 450, an installation guide, driver disk and a dual four pin molex to six pin PCIe connector to power this card (in case you do not have a PCIe connection on your power supply). The accessory bundle is slim but you can't expect the world when the card is at the entry level for gamers albeit at a higher clocked entry level.
The Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum edition looks like it will be a strong performer based on the clock speed differential. If the performance of ASUS's Direct CU TOP card (that has slightly lower clock speeds than this card) are any indication, then this card should be even better. Just how much better remains to be seen.

As Christians, we have to work harder and do more for people.
Too many Christians are too much like Raider Nation.
Raider Nation may refer to all fans of the NFL's Oakland Raiders, but most people think of The Black Hole when they think of Raider Nation.
The Black Hole is the name given to a few sections of end zone seating where all of the fans dress up in crazy costumes with skeleton faces and big spiked helmets and shoulder pads or some other monster-related Raider gear.
It's not normal. The typical Raider fan not only doesn't sit in the Black Hole section, but they are embarrassed by those overly excited fans who do silly things in the name of support.
I think most people's view of Christians is the same way. Christians in their mind yield images of fake televangelists, morally bankrupt church leaders and other self-anointed Christians who have treated them poorly at some point.
One example of that is making its rounds on the internet. The atheist page on the site Reddit features a receipt from a restaurant where a person claiming to be a pastor was one of 20 people in a party. At that point, an automatic 18 percent gratuity is added to the check.
Not only did the "pastor" refuse to pay the 18 percent, he left no money at all for a tip. Instead, he allegedly wrote, "I only give God 10 percent, why would I give you 18?" and he signed the check "Pastor" whatever his name was.
I don't even know if any of this is true or if someone just took an opportunity to make Christians look bad.
Honestly, Christians don't need help with that. There are plenty of us running around being a bad example. As a teenager, my wife worked at a restaurant and the staff all hated working on Wednesday nights because people from a certain denomination came in after Wednesday night services and forced them to work harder than any other group of customers. Not only did they demand more than anyone else, they refused to tip the staff.
I doubt any of those waitresses ever ended up visiting that church. I know if the above scenario really happened, the waiter involved wouldn't hang around long if he heard Pastor No Tip was bringing today's message.
In Luke 6:31, Jesus told His followers to "Do to others as you would have them do to you." The Apostle Paul told Christians in Romans 12:10, "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." In Colossians 3, Paul told people at that church, "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."
It seems like if someone cared enough about being a Christian that they would call themselves "Pastor" or tell the poor waiter how he gives 10 percent to God, he might have also read some other passages of the book on which his faith is based.
As Christians, we have to work harder and do more for people to make sure the people in our church's Black Hole don't get to determine the reputation for all of us.
Be a little nicer than you should. Be patient when others can't. Show people what Christians are really like.

Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 DiRT 3 Special Edition Review
By Geekspeak411 -
Civilization V is a turn-based strategy game. The premise is to play as one of 18 civilizations and lead the civilization from the "dawn of man" up to the space age. This latest iteration of the Civilization series uses a new game engine and massive changes to the way the AI is used throughout the game. Civilization V is developed by Firaxis Games and is published by 2K games and was released for Windows in September of 2010. Testing will be done using actual game play with FPS measured by Fraps through a series of five turns,150 turns into the game.
- 8x MSAA
- Global Settings = High
- DirectX 11
That overclock really gives the Sapphire DiRT 3 Special Edition card a strong advantage in the testing results.

There is no doubt that the most eagerly anticipated event of the Memorial Day holiday weekend was the Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I). Although the race drew only six starters, it was headlined by last year's Eclipse Award finalists Shackleford and Caleb's Posse; To Honor and Serve, who defeated older horses as a 3-year-old in last year's Cigar Mile Handicap (gr. I) and secured a 5¼-length victory in the Westchester Stakes (gr. III) on his seasonal reappearance; and Jackson Bend, who took the scalps of both Shackleford and Caleb's Posse in the Carter Handicap (gr. I) on his most recent outing.
Such keenly anticipated clashes have a tendency to result in anticlimax, but that wasn't the case May 28. Shackleford, who set strong fractions of :22.77, :44.73 (an intermediate split of :21.96), and 1:08.52, shook loose of his immediate pursuers—including a surprisingly forwardly-placed Jackson Bend—in the stretch, but then had to contend with the closing rush of Caleb's Posse, who had defeated him in similar circumstance in the 2011 Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I). Drifting out to engage that rival, Shackleford dug in again and at the wire—reached in a swift 1:33.30—was still a nose to the good.
By adding this triumph to his victory in last year's Preakness Stakes (gr. I), Shackleford became the first horse to win the Preakness at 3 and the Met Mile at 4 since Carry Back in 1961-1962. The feat was also achieved by Native Dancer in 1953-1954 and, given that on his previous outing Shackleford defeated last year's champion sprinter, Amazombie, in near-record time for the seven-furlong Churchill Downs Stakes (gr. II), the chestnut son of Forestry might have a shot at a feat achieved by Native Dancer's sire Polynesian, that of winning the Preakness a 3 and then taking a title as champion sprinter in a subsequent season.
In gaining graded victories at seven, eight, and 9½ furlongs, Shackleford has actually outdone his sire. One of the best sprinting sons of Storm Cat, Forestry took the 6½-furlong San Pedro Stakes early in his 3-year-old career and earned his next stakes win when defeating Doneraile Court and Successful Appeal in the Dwyer Stakes (gr. II) over 8½ furlongs. Third to Menifee and Cat Thief, although beaten only a length, in the nine-furlong Haskell Invitational Handicap (gr. I) after making most of the running, Forestry dropped back to seven furlongs to gain a grade I by capturing the King's Bishop Stakes (gr. I). Cutting back yet another furlong, he ended his career with a good fourth, beaten 3¾ lengths, in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) after bobbling at the break and having to come five wide to make his run.
Retired to Taylor Made Stallions, Forestry made a bright start to his stud career, with 12 stakes winners from a first crop of 75 named foals, and a total of 27 stakes winners from his first three crops. Although his early successes saw his stud fee rise as high as $125,000, Forestry hasn't been able maintain that early strike rate, and for the most recent season he was advertised $12,500. For a horse available at that fee, Forestry has certainly sired more than his share of talented runners, and he now has 42 stakes winners to his name, 15 graded, with Shackleford being joined as a grade I winner by the brilliant Discreet Cat, as well as Diplomat Lady and Forest Danger. Interestingly, that trio—like Shackleford—all scored notable front-running victories, and it seems that an ability to withstand a hot early pace is something that characterizes the best of Forestry's offspring. Shackleford's broodmare sire Unbridled was also able to straddle the divide between classic performers and sprinters. Winner of the Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic (both gr. I) at 3, Unbridled had sufficient speed to defeat two-time champion sprinter Housebuster decisively over seven furlongs in the Deputy Minister Handicap at 4.
Shackleford's dam Oatsee didn't have that kind of talent, but she was good enough to win twice at 3 and to take third in the restricted Supertrack Racing Series Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Oatsee has gone on to prove herself a quite remarkable producer, however. From her first eight foals she is dam of seven starters, six winners, five stakes performers, and three graded stakes winners. Her first stakes winner, Baghdaria, was a rare Royal Academy that handled the dirt, winning the Indiana Breeders' Cup Oaks, Silverbulletday Stakes, and Iowa Oaks (all gr. III). She was also twice grade II-placed, including in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II) over the Preakness course. Oatsee's second stakes winner, Lady Joanne, was also something of an anomaly, as the daughter of champion sprinter Orientate carried her speed 10 furlongs to win the Alabama Stakes (gr. I). Lady Joanne also won the Golden Rod Stakes (gr. II) and Dogwood Stakes (gr. III) and took second in the Mother Goose Stakes and Juddmonte Spinster Stakes (both gr. I).Baghdaria and Lady Joanne were Oatsee's second and third foals, and after dropping Haysee, an unraced sister to Lady Joanne, and the placed Langfuhr filly Miss Sea Oats, she came up with Afleeting Lady, who narrowly missed becoming a fourth stakes winner for her dam when beaten in a photo finish to last year's Falls City Handicap (gr. II). After foaling Shackleford the following year, Oatsee was sold to My Meadowview Farm for $1,550,000 at the 2008 Keeneland November sale. The A.P. Indy foal she was carrying at the time, Stephanoatsee, was a winner on his second start at 2 and looked as if he could develop into a classic candidate when finishing second to Alpha in the Count Fleet Stakes in January, despite still being very green. A subsequent injury took Stephanoatsee off the Triple Crown trail, but he should be back in action in the summer. Oatsee produced a Johannesburg colt—bred on a similar cross to Shackleford—in 2010 but missed to Dixie Union for 2011, the first year at stud that she failed to produce a live foal. Her 2012 foal is a filly by Indian Charlie and she is currently in foal to Bernardini.
Oatsee is the only black-type performer under her dam, the stakes-placed Lear Fan daughter With Every Wish. Out of the Hold Your Peace mare Amo, With Every Wish is a half sister to Amos, a stakes-winning son of Cryptoclearance (another by Unbridled's sire Fappiano). She is also a half sister to Oatsee's close relative Christy Love (also by Unbridled), the dam of graded stakes winner Atticus Kristy and stakes winners Distorted Reality and Fiery Dancer. The positive connection with Fappiano—himself a Met Mile winner—continues in the next generation, as Amo's dam Taminette produced two stakes winners to that horse: Tappiano, whose triumphs including the Demoiselle Stakes, Matron Stakes, and Spinaway Stakes (all gr. I); and A. P Jet, a stakes winner in Japan and subsequently a sire in New York. Taminette, a daughter of In Reality, was a sister to Known Fact (who took the English Two Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) on the disqualification of Nureyev), and half sister to grade I winner and sire Tentam (by In Reality's sire, Intentionally), and to Secrettame, the dam of Gone West. Taminette's dam Tamerett was a half sister to Atan, a once-raced son of Native Dancer who subsequently had an important impact as sire of Sharpen Up, and she traces to the taproot mare Aloe, ancestress of numerous notable sires, including Round Table, Sideral (frequent leading sire in Argentina), Pulpit, Tale of the Cat, Johannesburg, and current Japanese phenomenon Deep Impact.
When Forestry retired to stud, it was widely assumed that as a Storm Cat son whose third dam was closely related to the dam of Mr. Prospector, he would be well suited by Mr. Prospector-line mares. The cross of Forestry over mares by Mr. Prospector and his sons and grandsons has indeed produced 11 stakes winners, but has needed 236 starters to do so. That's a strike-rate of 4.66% stakes winners to starters, as opposed to the 9.63% stakes winners to starters he has out of all other mares. The strike rate with Mr. Prospector-line mares is further diminished if we subtract the four stakes winners from 36 starters that Forestry has sired out of mares by sons of Fappiano, the cross that produced Shackleford. Perhaps the significance here is that Forestry's granddam Surgery is by Dr. Fager out of Bold Sequence, the very close relative to the dam of Mr. Prospector, where Fappiano is by Mr. Prospector out of a Dr. Fager mare. Looking at Shackleford's racing style, It's certainly interesting to recall that Dr. Fager was a brilliant frontrunner who seemed almost immune to a torrid early pace. We should also note that in addition to having Dr. Fager 4x5 in his pedigree, Shackleford also carries, through Oatsee, a double of In Reality whose dam, champion 2-year-old filly My Dear Girl, was the best daughter of Dr. Fager's sire Rough'n Tumble.

Gulf Stream Expands VISA Line for Open House
September 13, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Gulf Stream Expands VISA Line for Open House
Nappanee, Ind.-based Gulf Stream Coach Inc. will be debuting two new 23-foot floorplans in its VISA lightweight travel trailer line during next week's Elkhart County RV Open House.
According to a press release, the new models are equipped with VISA's aerodynamic roof that extends from the front frame to the rear bumper in a single piece of vacuum-bonded laminated fiberglass to reduce drag and eliminate leak-prone corners, seams and joints. Both models also use the unique VISA frame that provides a lower profile on the exterior while still offering a generous 82 inches of interior headroom for a spacious, open feel.
The 23RSD is a non-slide mobile suite with a roomy, easy-entry L-shaped dinette and convertible bunks. The 23BDS expands living space with an electric slide for its large U-shaped dinette and features a full-width rear bath that has the largest counter area of any VISA floorplan.
"Our dealers continue to rave about the retail performance of the VISA brand," said Tim Dennig, national sales manager for Gulf Stream's lightweight division. "Prospects drive hundreds of miles and line up at shows just to get a look inside – and they love what they see."
Dennig reported that VISA has added more than two dozen new dealers in the past few months.
All VISA models feature European-inspired interior design and premium-quality appointments. New for 2013 are enlarged outside pass-through storage doors, a larger under-bed storage space, stylish new exterior graphics, an all-new palette of rich, durable fabrics, an optional bumper-mounted quick-connect gas grill and an optional power patio awning.
The new VISA floorplans will be on display September 17-20 in Gulf Stream's Open House displays County Road 6 East and Northland Drive in Elkhart and at the company's headquarters in Nappanee. For more information on VISA contact Denning at (800) 888-8917, ext. 5146 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Learning About and Understanding Chant Gregorian chant is the ancient music that served as reverent liturgical music for centuries in the Catholic Church. However, after the 1960s, chant largely faded from use. In recent years the popularity of chant has risen and it is now being used in more and more parishes. However, chant is very different from other forms of music and, as such, takes time and study to approach and understand. For this reason, Aquinas and More is pleased to carry many introductory chant books to help you learn about this beautiful, reverent form of music. Some great resources with which to start include Chant Made Simple, An Overview of Gregorian Chant, Beginning Studies in Gregorian Chant, and A Beginners Guide to Reading Gregorian Chant Notation. For active learning, the Square Notes Gregorian Chant Workbook is a great resource; it clarifies the fundamentals of chant and includes exercises for the reader such as fill in the blank, identifying notes, writing notation, drawing rhythmic waves, and more. Parish Resources and Chant Resources for Mass If you are a parish choir leader looking for resources, we have what you need. The Parish Book of Chant is a newly published resource specifically designed to encourage and enhance sacred music in the parish setting. It contains the Order of Mass for both the Ordinary form and the Extraordinary form, chants, and a tutorial on singing chant. Some other options for the parish include the Adoremus Hymnal for choirs (and the accompanying Organist and Congregation editions), the St. Gregory Hymnal, and the Traditional Roman Hymnal. Parishioners may also be interested in the Gregorian Missal for Sundays. For more liturgical music books, click here. Chant CDs If you are interested in chant CDs to listen to at prayer time in the home, before or after group Scripture study, or to help familiarize yourself, your choir, or students with chant, click here to view our wide selection of chant CDs. Aquinas and More carries both Eastern and Western chant CDs and also has selections for a variety of Church seasons and special topics, such as Chant for Christmas, Chants for Easter, and much more.

Nope. Nope. The Good Stuff's Not Over After All. Not By A Longshot.
Hot damn, One Life to Live. There I was feeling like I'd been overstating the case and gushing far too much, and Friday's episode felt like something of a letdown and possibly a worrisome sign of things to come, but I really thought it was back on today. Really on.
I mean Victor and Téa gave us the first good laugh. Victor apparently "knows" Téa. "There's nothing you hate more than being lied to, so I think that kinda puts the kibosh on the whole 'till death do us part' thing, doesn't it?" Huh? How many times has he told her egregious lies? She takes him back without a problem, pretty routinely. What's he even talking about?
Jesus, Florencia Lozano and Trevor St. John brought it in their scenes today. Tenderness, regret, shame, humiliation, anger, passion, devastation, alienation. All of it.
Téa: No, you're not the man I thought you were. No, I didn't marry you for five million dollars, no, you were not the man on that island with whom I conceived a child, there are a lot of things you are not. You are not the man who kicked me out of my own house, naked, in the middle of the winter! You're not the man who nearly burned me down in a cabana. Oh, a lot of the things that we thought we shared that was good, we didn't share, but a lot of the bad things -- we didn't share those either.
Victor (laughing): Is this -- oh is this, sorry, is this your way of kinda saying, you know, "Always look on the bright side," is that what it is... 'cause it's really kinda messed up.
Téa (doing her vintage Téa laugh/cry): Our whole life is "really kinda messed up. (Indeed. --Ed.)
Victor (reaching for her but getting rebuffed): I don't need any of this, I don't need your explanations, I don't wanna make it worse. (Seriously, wow. That might have been some of the most sincere tenderness and compassion I have seen in years from this character. He really seemed to mean this. I can't look away! --Ed.)
Victor (it's going to take a while to get used to typing that!) then went on to tell her that he loves her and that he's not who she thought he was or who he thought he was but he does know he loves her. And I believed him. And that if she doesn't love him, he needs to hear it right now. And he didn't say this in a hateful, dictatorial kind of way. He said it in total vulnerability. I'm serious. This happened. Eventually Téa told him that she does love him, and he smiled. He kept smiling. He smiled and it looked real and I felt happy for him. Y'all. You know those promos that GH always does that have become a nationwide GH-viewer joke about some stupid thing that's going to "Change! Port! Charles! Forever!" and nothing changes anything the slightest bit? Um, this Changed! Llanview! Forever! Seriously. At least for me. So far. It's a paradigm shift and I'm a bit lost and turned around and I love it.
Oh and then this amazing thing happened!
Jack: I know all about you! You didn't even want me!
Todd: What are you talking about?
Jack: You tried to give me away to nuns! In a Mexican airport! (Uh, Jack, you didn't seem to be too bothered by this information when you thought Victor was your father. But you know what? This should be drama. Better late than never, I say! --Ed.)
Todd: (awkward pause) Yeah, that happened. It... aaahhh. I didn't know. I didn't know the truth.
I'm just so happy right now. And then later?
Todd: It's not his fault he's an obnoxious little brat, is it? (pulls the gun out of his pocket) It's that son of a bitch who raised him. (The phrase "son of a bitch" takes on a fair new meaning here. Or is at least finally literal, and Todd's allowed to say so. --Ed.)
Interestingly, while Todd did show up at Victor's home with the gun, he seemed to be calmed out of respect for Téa, who he overheard professing her love to Victor. And as deeply, deeply messed up as Victor and Téa are (by their own admission!), I really liked this moment. What's happening to me?
In news that has nothing to do with The Tale of Two Todds, Kim's back!
And she was really worried about Clint! She stopped Rex to make sure Clint's really okay! I melt. I melt just a little. I'm a little biased. I love those two. I may have mentioned it once or twice.
Unfortunately, she then went to see a mystery hospitalized person that I am terrified is Stacey Morasco. This is not good news.
In other non-Two Todds news, that horrible kiss that we ended with on Friday? Ended in Jessica punching Ford instead of returning the kiss. Hell yes! And telling Ford they shouldn't spend time together, which resulted in David Gregory as Ford speed-talking his way through a few lines that I didn't understand... or care about.
I already mentioned this earlier on our Facebook page (Serial Drama has a Facebook page, in case you didn't know -- come visit us!), but this is my bit of shameless self-promotion for the day if any of you live near/in NYC. A (free!) reading of my new play Next Time on Spring Valley is coming up this very Thursday at 3pm at 59E59 Theaters in Manhattan; it's ALL about soaps and soap fans and should be a very good time. Check out this link for details and where to RSVP if you're into this sort of thing. I promise there will be plenty of inside jokes that are right up your alley if you're a soap lover!
SWEET JESUS. I have this little addendum to throw in after having gone back to catch the sequence that I missed because of the news report. According to Dani? "The guy that raped Marty Saybrooke? That was [Starr's] precious Todd."
This is where Louise has an effing aneurysm. That Dani needs a smack in the face. What the hell does she call what Victor did to Marty Saybrooke? I am absolutely going to lose my mind. Is this how this is going to go? TSJTodd is now the non-rapist brother? Damn. Damn. I wish I hadn't gone back and watched that sequence because I loved this episode, but if this is the story they're selling now? That Victor is an innocent and only Todd is a Big Bad? No indeed. Not buying it. We watched Victor commit rape and assault and kidnapping and abuse (not to mention all manner of white collar crimes) year after year since 2003.
Starr gave a half-decent retort, but only half-decent. Not good enough.
I'm all for the complicated bad boys, but not if every bad act gets erased for one of them. No chance. Todd's a nasty piece of work, and so is Victor. I can live with that, and have been fascinated watching it. Why do they need to do this?!

Warwick, Professional Developers of Mobile Site Designs
Design your website so it is optimized for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Android and any mobile device.
Develop a mobile version of your website because your target audience is looking for you on the local web using their mobile or handheld devices. If you website stacks on the sidelines when viewing on any handheld mobile devices, you are actually pushing away half of all the local searchers from a mobile device.
In fact web traffic from mobile devices has doubled up in numbers and the number of mobile web pages and mobile web users has grown as well. Experts predict that mobile internet use will soon surpass desktop internet use.
Web Traffic from Mobile Devices
In Australia, busy suburbs like Warwick and it's neighboring suburbs like Allora, Hendon and Stanthorpe, wherein business is aggressively changing and so is how people search for information, render services and buy products. This amazing revolution makes most typical websites perform poorly on iPhone, Blackberry and other handheld devices. Your traditional website is likely slow or difficult to navigate on mobile devices that's why developing a mobile website is a necessity for your online business; because not doing this could mean losing your customers, in contrast, sites that are mobile friendly create an average traffic increase of 27% and this is growing every day.
We see iPhones or android phones almost everywhere; access to mobile applications is now a new trend. In the past you had to have either a laptop or a desktop computer to have access to the worldwide web and to do business online, now with the advances in technology these devices has been made smaller and easier to carry. With the use of these devices, one will be able to conduct business anywhere. With the onset of social media networks, Facebook being the most popular, with the touch of your fingers, one will be able to locate a place with the use of these mobile site designs.
What are The Benefits of Having a Mobile Compatible Web Design?
This is most useful to small businesses trying to have more exposure for their business and reach those local prospective clients. At the click of your finger tips, you will be able to show the client or prospective customer a presentation. Aside from small business owners, this is also a good marketing strategy for large companies on different industries like hotels, restaurants and others. As long as these business establishments are enlisted in Google Maps, it will be easier to find them in Google. The advantage is customers get to see the place and even the food served at that particular place.
By developing a mobile version website for your business, you are making sure that the traffic you get from viewing your website through their mobile phones would be able to get your web site displaying properly on their mobile devices.

Time to turn around
I took a backroad in northwestern Todd County today, and came upon the creek in the photograph above. I've crossed it before in the summer when the weather was hot and dry, and the water was only a few inches deep.
Today, I didn't have the nerve to ford it. The water was nearly still, but the creek was much wider than usual,and I was afraid it was deeper, too.
If my low-sitting little car stalled in the water -- well, I could imagine some unpleasant scenarios. I would probably get wet, muddy, and cold. I would have to climb all the way out of the ravine before my cell phone might work, and if I had to walk back to the nearest house, it would be a couple of miles.
I cautiously backed my car uphill to a slightly wider place in the road and turned around. It took several maneuvers because I was afraid to get the wheels into the muddy ditches. Finally, I was headed in the opposite direction, and before long, I was back to the same highway I had left 20 minutes before.
No progress toward my destination was made on that sidetrip, but I learned a little lesson about creek fords in winter.

Friday, January 17, 2014 - Milan and Ivan - Screen Test RAW - FULL CONTACT
Milan and Ivan - Screen Test RAW - FULL CONTACT
Milan Dlouhy had never gone all the way with another guy, so we brought him in for a screentest, and paired him with Ivan Mraz. After a brief chat Ivan leans over and starts to kiss Milan. He works his way down Milan's sexy body, and opens the jeans. Milan's cock is already half hard. Ivan takes hold of it and wanks it as he kissed Milan some more. Then he goes down on that hot cock and sucks it. His mouth wraps right around Milan's every hardening dick. It is quickly rock hard as Ivan licks the shaft and sucks the head into his mouth. Milan runs a hand over Ivan's body as he gets sucked. Ivan sucks the balls into his mouth before returning to work on the big stiff dick. When he has sucked enough Ivan kneels and lowers his jeans. His own stiff cock flops out and Milan quickly goes down on it. He shows that he is more than ready to suck dick, and works his mouth all over Ivan's. Ivan grabs his head and pushes it down on to that throbbing cock. Milan happily sucks that dick, doing a great job on it. Ivan fucks his cock in and out of Milan's eager mouth. Then they kiss each other some more, wanking themselves as they do so. Then Ivan leans over and suck Milan some more before turning him over, so that his sexy ass is on show. Ivan spreads those hot buns and starts to rim Milan's tight hole. He rubs Milan's balls as he rims him. Then he slides a finger into Milan's ass. He works it in and out as he also rims the hole. Then, as the hole is nice and wet Ivan climbs up and slides his throbbing cock deep into Milan's ass. He fucks that ass real deep as Milan turns his head to kiss him. Milan is loving the feeling of that dick in his ass and moves onto his knees so that Ivan can fuck him even deeper. Ivan fucks so well, stretching that hot hole as Milan wanks himself. Then Milan gets to ride that big cock as Ivan lays on the bed. Ivan's ass slides up and down on that hot pole. The he stays still as Ivan fucks him so fast. Moving to spoon Ivan continues his hard fucking as Milan wanks himself. With that dick ramming into his tight hole Milan soons shoots a big, creamy load of cum. Ivan continues fucking that sexy ass and is soon ready too. He pulls out and dumps his cum all over Milan's chest. Then, after milking himself dry, Ivan kisses Milan again to end a great screentest.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
We paired Tomas Berger with Daniel Just for a duo. They look so good as we find them kissing, their eager mouths joined as they feel over each other's bodies. Tomas removes Daniel's tee-shirt and begins to kiss his nipples too. Then his tee-shirt comes off too and Daniel returns the favour. They kiss some more and Daniel is first to lose his underwear. He sits on the sofa and Tomas kisses his body and wanks on his cock. Then Tomas' underwear comes off and he stands for Daniel to suck his big cock. After a little sucking Daniel sits back and Tomas starts working on his cock. He sucks on that cock and kisses his way up the body. Daniel wants cock too and he is soon sucking on Tomas' thick one. They take turns sucking each other until Tomas' stiff dick fucks in and out of Daniel's mouth. Then he pushes Daniel back and his legs up are, exposing his hairy ass. Tomas rims that hairy hole and then slides his big cock in there. He fucks Daniel's tight ass nice and deep, stretching it wide. Then Tomas sits on the sofa and Daniel slides his ass over that thick cock and rides it. He bounces up and down on that cock, riding it real good. Then Tomas holds Daniel still and fucks up into that hot ass. He fucks real hard, going as deep as he can. That sets him going and he stands so that Daniel can wank that big cock till it cums. He then sucks on the spent cock, draining it completely. Then Tomas kneels and Daniels stands over him, wanking himself until he cums as well. They go off to the shower and help each other clean up after a very good scene.

I love using Rice salads for bentos. I like that I can make one batch of of it and get a few days out of them.
Here are some of my favorites:
Wild Rice Salad with Apples and Walnuts
1 c wild rice
2 c water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
1 celery rib
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 c raisins
1 medium red apple (not Delicious), cored and diced
grated rind of 1 lemon
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (Sometimes I use the bottled juice if I have lemons, and leave out the zest)
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 c olive oil
1. Put the wild rice in a strainer and rinse under cold water. Place it in a medium saucepan along with the water, oil and salt. Cover, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed. (When wild rice is done, it has a tender yet nubby texture.)
2. Meanwhile, combine the walnuts, celery, scallions, raisins, apple and lemon rind in a large bowl. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil and shake vigorously. Pour half of this dressing on the apple mixture and toss well.
3. When the rice is done, let it cool until just warm. Combine with the fruit mixture and pour on the remaining dressing. Let sit at least 1 hour before serving at room temperature.
Notes: I usually use 1/2 wild rice and 1/2 Brown rice. (you can use anything really) I also usually do this in the rice maker. When I do it in the rice maker I put the water (use and amount according to your rice maker!!) oil, rice and salt in the rice maker. I despise baby sitting rice on the stove and Love my rice maker deeply! I reccommend that you get/use one! I also vary this recipe according to what I have on hand (fruit, nuts and dried fruit wise) , really anything goes. I always make this salad in a double batch for parties and BBQ's and everyone loves it!
Ill post more soon!
Anyone else have any cool rice salad recipes?
That sounds tasty. Do you do the wild rice in your rice cooker? I have the world's cheapest rice cooker, but it works equally well on brown and white rice. I've never tried wild though...
My flickr photostream: http://flickr.com/photos/astrogirl
All my bentos appear on flickr, but not all on my blog, which is here: http://astrogirl.com
I do, I cook everything in that rice cooker. Mines a cheap one too but it does the job. (Although I do want one of those badass Japanese ones with timers, warmers and magic!) it works well though.

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and, for the most part, Brenda's delivers a solid morning meal.
If you want some Southern home cooking where the food tastes like your grandma made it and the staff treats you like family, Brenda's Caf� in Castle Hayne is the ticket.
Brenda's serves simple fare for breakfast and lunch, seven days a week, and in addition to the regular menu, there's a rotating daily special that includes dishes like meatloaf, fried shrimp, spaghetti, country-fried steak, fish and chips, and, occasionally, baby back ribs. Heaping plates of food come to your table courtesy of one of the friendliest wait staffs in the area, which adds to the hominess of the experience.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and, for the most part, Brenda's delivers a solid morning meal. The pancakes ($3.50 for two) are fluffy and big, but not hanging-off-the-plate big you'll find elsewhere. These are reasonable, like your mom would make on Saturday mornings. I found the pancakes themselves – no butter, no syrup – had actual flavor, a rare thing in pancakes. There was a tang to them that reminded me of buttermilk pancakes, but perfectly fluffy rather than dense.
Eggs come single or in a pair, cooked your way, and they're served with either bacon, ham, country link sausage, smoked sausage, country ham, corned beef hash or liver pudding (from $2.95-$5.75). Breakfast platters come with fried "'taters" or grits and toast or a biscuit.
The eggs needed a dash of salt and pepper, but were cooked perfectly; with the delicious biscuit it made for a nice start to the meal. I was a little surprised by the country link sausage. I had pictured two or three small link sausages, but what I got was a big, bratwurst-sized sausage that tasted like the expected sage sausage. It was quite good. The fried 'taters were a letdown, though. This should be a good side, but it was a little bland and the cut on the potatoes varied wildly, meaning some were less done than others. With a more careful cut and a little more time in the pan to develop some crust, they'd be on par with the rest of breakfast.
The order of biscuits and gravy ($2.95 for one, $3.95 for two) was among the best I've had in Wilmington, and the gravy, which was ideally thick and laced with large chunks of sausage, was spot on.
I'm not a fan of the brown, overcooked parts of an omelet or scramble that you get if the pan's too hot or you let the eggs cook a little too long, and the scrambled eggs I got at Brenda's were a bit overdone. Grits, my side with this order, were good, but not memorably so.
Brenda's lunch includes the burgers you'd expect, but also some country treats like fried chicken livers and gizzards, and a fried bologna sandwich. Daily specials (announced on Facebook and by your server when you take a seat) augment the regular offerings.
The cheeseburger I ordered was very good in that it was a simple, no-frills burger. The patty was hand-formed and, according to Brenda herself, who patrols the restaurant cajoling customers, she receives three to four orders of ground beef a week, so it's always fresh. When I asked her about the burger itself – which was seasoned just right, cooked through but still juicy, with a little bit of a seared crust on the exterior – she said they season it using an old family recipe. Then she laughed and said there was no secret. "Just a little seasoning salt and you flip it at the right time. And you don't mash the burger, it lets all the juice out." Good burger advice that showed on my plate.
Sides for the entrees include fries, onion rings, and a bevy of country vegetables that includes fried okra and collards. Brenda grows most, if not all, of the collards herself, and buys local when she can't. Why? Not to follow some farm to fork food trend, but because that's how country food is cooked – by using ingredients that are close at hand.
Specials, like chicken and pastry and meatloaf, looked like they came out of your favorite aunt's kitchen. The slab of meatloaf I saw was huge and smelled great. My server said it was one of her favorites, but I opted for the chicken and pastry. This dish reminded me of my grandmother's chicken and dumplings and hit the spot, and not just for sentimental reasons. It was well seasoned, the broth was somewhere between broth and gravy (right where it should be) and the pastry was chewy but tender. A great dish for a cold day.
Though Brenda's Caf� is small, it gets busy, and during one lunch visit, only one table remained open before I left. That sort of volume speaks well of how Brenda's is being received by the folks nearby.

Good episode but I think that the last two episodes, while it has been very good, was not strong as the first two episodes. Let's to be honest Miss Macross thing wasn't particularly my favorite part, ok sure the show needs fan-service to please many fans and it was necessary to develop Ranka's character a bit but still I am just not really fond of that part. Positive side some great fights and nice to see those Zentradi's weapons back (Don't know how to spell them), and next episode seems to be more development for the famous Macross love-triangle.

Please more respect that weapon is owning enemis from thousands years now
This is a little breafing:
"The largest and arguably most devastating Zentradi mecha of Space War I, the Queadluun-Rau battle suits of the female division forces are fast, maneuverable and well-armed mecha. Like the Nousjadeul-Ger of the Zentradi male division forces, the Queadluun-Rau is a powered suit of armor featuring two reaction furnaces that power massive dual engines, propelling the suit at tremendous speeds. A special inertia vector control system gives the Queadluun-Rau unparalled maneuverability and allows efficient atmospheric flight using only vernier thrusters, effectively compensating for the suit's lack of aerodynamic lift. In battle, the female powered suit relies upon a deadly array of rapid-fire laser and particle cannons, but most lethal of all are the missile launchers. Armed with over a hundred individual short-range missiles, the Queadluun-Rau is capable of engaging dozens of targets, inflicting heavy damage with torrents of guided missile fire.
The Queadluun-Rau's one disadvantage, like most Zentradi mecha, is a lack of long-range weaponry. Despite this one flaw, the Queadluun-Rau excels at medium-to-close range combat, being one of the most versatile and successful Zentradi mecha. Capable of deployment in any environment, the Queadluun-Rau could engage enemy forces in space, in the atmosphere or on the ground."

This triangle is more interesting atm because we're left guessing at how things came to this point while the SherylxAltoXRanka triangle hasn't really got off the ground yet (though episode 5 should change that) and we have seen every moment of it.

another perfect episode!
Lanka/Ranka(what is the official spelling of her name?) singing "My Boyfriend is A Pilot" while Alto dogfight with Kleinwas just pure nostalgia, and the fight itself it remind me so much of "Max and Milia" fight in the Macross movie and afterward they fall in Love...i thought it would already turn out to be a "quatro love" angle with Klein, Sheryl, Lanka and Alto, but Klein turned out to be a Loli Zentradi in micro human form was just xD
arggg i just love Macross !!!!!!!!!
ps: Alto stylisticaly finishing a Queadluun with pose and in same ep wrecking the VF
Alto wont get his "princess" reputation gone when he is watching a mirror and doing his hairs!
pss: does any other anime has a marvellous choreography of singing a song, dogfight with plane and still making/matching with a super story/dialogue? the maker of macross are just pure genius i say!!

I don't think these types of Zentraedi are exactly the same as the ones in the past, though I always could be mistaken. Maybe there's a new genetic breed that makes them look rather... catty and have some fangs and the like. Again, more Ctarl-Ctral than pure Meltrandi.

I think the main reason for Ranka not winning the miss macross contest was due to Leon interfering, because he didnt want the sole survivor of the 117 fleet incident to became famous and get to much attention.
ps: just a Question, the VA annoucer who introduce Ranka song? i thought i was hearing Mayama from Honey and Clover?

Klan Klien makes me confused. Did she alway have the deficiency. I guess it really depends on where she "grew" up. If she was part of the human fleet from birth then she's been a loli for a long time? OR was she "uncultured" and first found out about this when she was first micloned?

I'm going to guess Klein Klan was born a regular Meltrandi.
Loli-fication has never been a problem for any previously known Meltrandi.
Hooray for genetic deficiencies!
On the subject of Meltrandi who do you think Nene was?
The short red haired with a short fuse tempered girl or the pink haired demure one.
On the point of the haired red head she could be pissed at Alto for tagging her.
On the point of the pink haired one the girly voice of Nene seems to fit her.

The preview for episode 5 had a very interesting scene. it could be misleading but it Sheryl was blushing something fierce while Alto was holding her. This maybe the start of the whole love triangle or at least a peek into it.
Alto flying style reminds me of Max Sterling not as crisp and without took much wasted effort but his style reminded so much of watching Max's piloting style.

Well was a pretty nice episode overall. Ranka and Altoh are starting off on their paths with a few speed bumps along the way. Mikhail ramping up the difficulty setting so Altoh would get blown to bits in the simulator.
Have to say the posing after he took down the first opponent was pretty funny. Just can't completely shake his roots after all. Plus going for a good look when heading out to see Ranka in the contest. Was good on him to give her a bit of support when she was in need of it.
Another nice song as well during the fight. Altoh was in pretty tough during that one trying to avoid getting taken down. Of course then it got interrupted by a serious threat, but in the end things worked out.
Something pretty funny about the loli Klein Klan chasing Mikhail around. That guy has the ability to get under anyones skin, but still fun. Then shoves Ranka onto Altoh before the episode finished up.

Also the Ozma-Cat-Leon triangle is definitely more interesting since it will also affect Ranka and seeing Leon get his butt kicked by Ozma is worth it.

Last week was a strong release window and despite great critical appraisal for Platinum Games' Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance,
this is just as expected considering recent gaming scenario as more people nowadays get overhyped for every generic first person shooter than an awesome hack & slash game
Rising is great, but I think it had two things working against it. Gamers in the know seemed more than happy for a inevitable sales price because of Rising's reportedly short campaign. As for the more casual market (people that buy games ever so often, but don't necessarily visit game sites on a regular basis), the tv spot that Konami released in North America is extremely cheesy. I've seen it on tv quite a bit, and I roll my eyes everytime... and I'm a fan. I can't help but feel that the commercial failed to help sales like it should have.
Everything is all good. MGRising is selling incredibly well and the game is solid all the way through. No shame in its sales position and Crysis is an awesome franchise.
Of course it will...a shooter vs sword fighting game. A shooter will most likely win atleast on console.
Its not even a true MGS title. Real MGS is a stealth action SHOOTER.
Well crysis is on 3 platforms while MGR is on 2 so it would make sense.
