You weren't there! You believed all of that just like they did, because somebody wrote a book that some con man said was the historical word of god.
"the mormons weren't a bunch of people who listened to Joe Smith and said we like you Joe. We talking about a bunch of people who, as a group, experienced some powerful things."
The actual writing of the old testament occurs centuries after the events it is supposed to describe and only isolated to a singular cultural frame.
No other civilization that would have existed at the time the Exodus was to have occurred made any mention of the event,
nor do the events in the bible accurately line up with historical narratives from the records of other civilizations that existed in that period.

Quote from: Omen on January 04, 2012, 10:08:35 AMSo .. Judas didn't find jesus very convincing did he?Jesus was very convincing. Many, even thousands of people, followed him. Billions of people still follow him today.
So .. Judas didn't find jesus very convincing did he?
Is it really your assertion or counter claim that Judas just happened to be around the corner every time Jesus was doing something magical and miraculous?
Is it really your assertion that the plagues of egypt, the giant column of cloud by day and fire by night, mana raining from heaven, the waters splitting before half a million jews in exodus.. didn't have any impact on their sensibilities?. . . You have to deal with the reality that in 40 days and nights, half a million jews.. simply 'forgot' that all the amazing things they experienced occurred and began worshiping pagan idols again like it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
Oh come on, your post to 12 monkeys assumes that God always has a perfectly functional plan that takes all things into account. Given that he is Omnimax, that SHOULD be what happens. But in the Bible, God is seen as being surprised, and having plans that don't work out the way he intended (example: creation).
I think that this is taking a terribly liberal interpretation of Jesus' words.
But if Jesus salvation was necessary to enable an Original Sin Loophole, then all who came before Jesus would have, by default, gone to hell. Even the good people. Also, how could you possibly have any idea what exists outside of "this existence"? Sounds like an Argument from Amazing Familiarity.
Then why bother spreading Christianity? We would be better off not knowing anything at all, because we could avoid Hell without all of the guilt and shame. Also, it's worth noting that a lot of believers think that not accepting Jesus means going to hell, even if you aren't aware. Who's right and who's wrong, and how do we tell?
Forgive me, but it's not clear to me what you are asking for here. Would you be able to rephrase/clarify?
However, should we follow God's example? Should we be vengeful, wrathful, punish those who don't obey us, order rape and genocide, murder children, drown an entire planet of living beings? These are all terrible things, yet when God does them, it's YAY GOD! Again, that is just twisted.
Wish granted, says the blonde, bearded Genie.

Let's not make conclusions based on faulty data.
OK. so how then does one read the old testament in respect to Jesus in regards to the slaughter of Midianites and the mass rape of their young women/girls? How is Jesus love and sacrifice present in that situation?
We're not talking about my beliefs. We're talking about the beliefs of the people of Israel. With Joseph Smith, no one was there. He was the only one who saw the tablets and no one saw what, if anything, happened those thousands of years ago.
Unfortunately, at best you can say that this is an open question. However, historians do not agree with you. Not that they all agree amongst themselves, but the majority are closer to each other than you are to them. The compilation may have been later, but the original writing is much, much older. In fact, there is little to argue against Moses having written most of the Pentateuch. Deuteronomy might be suspect, but even if Moses didn't write it, it's what he said.
And who would that be that would have mentioned it?

Good Morning kaziglu bey,Good cold morning that is. We had spring like weather through the new year. Now it's making up for it!
That certainly could be true. It could also be true that these are the ways people understood God. It makes sense that if a people anthropomorphized (wow, that is a word!) God, who they believed was not human and did not have a body, then they would also anthropomorphize his behavior. They might see something that was planned by God and interpret that as reactionary. People do that to each other. Why not to God?If they did, then God wanted it to be in the Bible that way. But why would he do that? Why would he want to give an impression that he is something he isn't? Well, if we allow the Christian paradigm, then every impression that we have about God is not what he is. He is something outside of our universe, our existence. We can't understand what it means to be omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, etc. Even to say those words is inadequate because, as we've discussed, our understanding of those words is necessarily incomplete.
But why those impressions and those images? If we look at the Bible as a whole, we see that those images are scattered mostly through the Old Testament and the first parts of the Old Testament. Those are the images because that's how the people thought. That is the world they lived in.
It makes sense that God would use what he had to teach the people,
and that he would relate to them on their level. God's been doing that all along. The greatest example is when Jesus was made flesh and God became man.
There are also places in that part of the Bible where God is understood as eternal and unchanging. There are more as time in the Bible goes on, indicating a maturity of thinking.
Some of those examples seem to have been teaching moments. When God told Abraham what he was planning with Sodom, Abraham bargained with God for the lives of the people in Sodom. Did God change his mind along the way? No. Rather he was teaching Abraham the value of life and the magnitude of sin.
Please explain how the verse does not give that interpretation.
"Argument from Amazing Familiarity"? I have to learn these names. They seem like fun.
Your logic about them going to hell seems sound, the early Church Fathers even wrestled with this topic. But, as they found, it's not sound when you look at the big picture. Jesus taught the great mercy and love of God. In fact, God is love. That's his very nature. Starting from there, it's logical that he would have accounted for the good people who went before him. I haven't read these parts of the Church Fathers recently, but it's there if you'd like to.
I guess we'll find out at the end, won't we.
Why bother spreading Christianity? Because knowing God and loving God is so much better than ignorance of him.
The logic in that paragraph is like saying that it's better to not love at all, than to love and have your heart broken. I don't believe that. It seems that those who do have closed their heart to other people.
Sure. Sorry about that. (Actually, I had to go back and read the last few posts because I had forgotten where I was going! You gotta love it.) We're talking about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and punishment or consequences. I wanted to show the logic within the Catholic framework of what I'm saying. However, you have to be able to assume the Catholic framework. I know you don't and I'm not asking you to believe it or agree with it or even to assume it for very long. I'll go ahead, though.
Our ancestors were going along, evolving quietly in their natural earthly life, when God picks two proto-humans and gives them souls, i.e. makes them in his image and likeness. They now have not only their natural life that they already had, but also have a supernatural life of divine presence and grace. Amazing thing. They "walk with God" and he is very close to them. These two then have their obedience tested and, unfortunately, they fail the test. Because they failed, i.e. disobeyed God, God removes himself from them, or removes them from himself, same thing. Now they don't have the divine presence or the original grace that they once enjoyed. They are returned to their previous state, almost. They still have their immortal souls and are still elevated above the animals.
You could call it punishment. I see that.
I also see it as a consequence of failing the test of character.
They lost part of what they had gained. Have you heard of the parenting theory of "natural and logical consequences"? You probably have. That's how I think of it. It's like if I give my son a new iPhone and tell him that he can keep it as long as he takes care of it. But then he doesn't take care of it and so I take it away. I understand calling it punishment. That's just not the way I think of it.
Two things. First, it's a clear distinction between what we can do on our own, what we can do when commanded by God, and what God can do. The three are not the same.
Second, and I think this is one of the biggest things that posters in this forum miss, Jesus, as the Son of God, is the fullest revelation of the Father. All of God's revelation is to be read in the light of Christ.
We start then with Jesus and his message of repentance, forgiveness, love, mercy, and his actions of, for example, allowing himself to be crucified for our sake. Given that, we look back at the Old Testament and ask if our reading of the OT coincides with our understanding of the Father as revealed to us by Jesus. Where it doesn't, we then ask how our reading of the OT is incorrect, and we try to gain a deeper understanding of what the OT reveals to us. (We discuss this again below.)
You guys keep bringing up these parts of the OT that are troublesome, and I agree that they are when you do not look at them through the revelation of Christ.
That's why your complaints don't bother me. On the other hand, if the way you read the OT (without Jesus) were the right way to read the OT, then I'd be on your side, but it's not and it never has been.
Thank you.
The freethoughtpedia article you gave got its information from "Denise Golumbaski, Research Analyst, Federal Bureau of Prisons, compiled from up-to-the-day figures on March 5th, 1997." I can find lots of pages that cite her, but not anything that actually shows the original study. Being a statistician I want to see the methods, variables, raw data, etc. I also went to the Bureau of Justice Statistics and tried to find statistics and couldn't. I find it very interesting how much discussion there is on the topic, but very little actual data out there. Assuming that Denise Golumbaski's data is real and correct, I will gladly concede the point to you. Thank you for sharing the information.
I sincerely apologize. You made your conclusion based on the best data we have. I should not have jumped to my own conclusion.
Hmm, let's be accurate. The text (Numbers 31) does not say there was a mass rape of their young women/girls.
To be honest, I don't know the answer.
As far as I know, no one does.
That doesn't mean there isn't an answer; we just don't understand it yet.
To read the text from our perspective it is very difficult to reconcile. But we have to take a few things into account. You've likely heard these before, but let me list the ones I know of here.We have to understand that the Bible books are a history, but not the kind of history we understand today. The actual events that, for example, established Israel on the soil of Palestine were much more complex than we read in the Bible. John Bright's book, "A History of Israel" is a fascinating coverage of the many schools of thought on this topic. Another thing for us to understand is the character, behavior and standards of the people in the Ancient Near East, particularly with regards to war and conquest, rules and laws. We have to look at the Israelite behavior with respect to the context of the times. What looks barbarous to us may have been a moral improvement. When God reveals himself to humans, he is understood in the terms of the times. To Bronze Age people he will likely be understood in Bronze Age terms. For example, herem – the ancient Semitic practice of slaying everybody and everything in a village may be seen as, ironically, a pious act ("See Lord! I'm keeping nothing for myself!" or "I'm keeping our faith and our culture pure.") Horrible in our time, but not then.
With our children, we choose to reveal certain things about life to them a little at a time. As they grow older and learn more, then we reveal more. I don't teach my 3 year old how to run a household, but my 17 year old knows more. I don't teach calculus or Shakespeare to a second grader. In the same way God has revealed more and more of himself over time. Back then it was one thing, later on it was more, and so on.
Thanks Veykyn Ever notice how a theists will ALWAYS dismiss other creation stories from around the world as myth all the while holding their stories as true. The Bible,both OT and NT full of contadiction and so full of holes,niether can stand if examined.

Flaws and variations become more apparent the closer one studies a mythos; we only notice the flaws of Christianity more readily because we are close enough to notice the scotch tape and cracks.
Hello All,As I PM'd the posters last week, this has been a busy week and I could not get back to the thread. Unfortunately, this next week is just as busy if not more so. I sincerely apologize for the delay in getting back here, and will as soon as I can.
No, I'm talking about your beliefs, not the beliefs of long dead people. The Exodus story was recorded hundreds and hundreds of years after the supposed event.
Now your creation story is similar,but different the world is flat and the sun moon and stars appear on the dome covering the world. Science has explained both the stories can't be really true,but somehow you hold on to these MYTHS to be true,while dismissing mine as only MYTH,why Why do you believe your stupid stories from a bunch of stupid goat herders over mine.
Fourth, the Genesis story, unlike the Raven and the box story, does a pretty good job, as far as it goes, of coinciding with what science tells us.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Hi kaziglu bey,How's it going? Surprised to hear from me? I completely understand. Thanks to you also for being patient with me. I think that I'll have some time this week. It's Spring Break and I'm taking the week off to do some stuff around the house. We'll see how well that goes.
Since it's been two months (wow, I am very sorry for it being that long! The forum actually warned me that I might not want to reply here since it had been so long),
I had to go back and refresh my memory on some of these. I encourage others who read our posts to do the same, i.e. back up a few and catch up on the conversation.You've got a lot of good stuff in this post. However, if you don't mind, I'm not going to respond to everything. Would you like to pick a couple of points for me to address or would you like me to?
It's easy to make claims when we gloss things over. Please be specific in how you think things happened.
Hundreds of years later someone wrote a story that falsely injected into the Hebrew's history a description of the Exodus, the Sinai events, the desert wanderings, etc. Everyone believed them even though there was no, according to you, tribal traditions, no stories handed down, etc. They believed these suddenly fabricated stories so much that it became the central aspect of their entire culture. Is that what you're trying to say happened?
Please also tell me why the author of these books could not have been Moses as tradition states (other than the part about his own death maybe).
Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, at the Lord's command. He was buried in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day...Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.--Deuteronomy 34:5-6, 10, emphasis added.
You can't just wave your hands without giving logical arguments as to why your side is correct and the other is not.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
Judas' "betrayal" is complex on many different levels. On the surface it seems simple. Some guy gets thirty silver for ratting out his mentor. ... So, in order for Jesus to be condemned to death someone had to bear witness against him,
Additionally the Gospel of Judas is quite different from the biblical version and suggest that Jesus singles Judas out to perform this service for him. Not that Judas betrays Jesus but rather that he does his will. Evidence to support this is the kiss that Judas betrays him with. He loves Jesus, and Jesus' admoniton "Betray me with a kiss?" can be seen in the light of him asking Judas, "Is this how you would normally betray people? Why not just point your finger and say seize him!" That's my take anyway.
I think that Judas' story is almost promethian, in that Judas does what we he knows is wrong for himself to advance a greater good for all of mankind.
I think that the authors of the biblical gospels perhaps (i) missed this point or (ii) could not conceive of the idea or (iii) simply did not want to have two figures in their narrative with so noble a character
Looking at my last relevant post, I can see what you mean. It's pretty long. I'd be interested to hear your response to any of it, so choose what you like. If I feel that your response brushes over something major, I will let you know.
. . . why did God choose it as the primary means of communicating his message? . . . Why would God have planned that so badly? . . . Why is an all powerful entity limited to the pathetic means of some tribal herdsmen in the Bronze Age?" . . . why didn't God send Stealth Bombers to take out pharaoh and his chariots? . . . Was God's thinking immature? Or was he not able to over-ride the ignorance of the writers?
But why did he wait SO long? Aften Adam and Eve, and Abraham and Isaac, and Moses, Joshua, Aaron, etc etc, how many thousands of years did it take God to come up with a fairly mundane way of "saving" mankind from God?
If God's influence moved the pens of the writers, he could have assured that his unchanging wisdom were present from the beginning, rather than coming around later as an afterthought. God's word should start with the same perspective as it ends, if the ultimate author is unchanging.
Fine, then how do you KNOW that God's plans, though apparently at times flawed, are in fact perfect?
SO God is like a mafia boss, showing a new recruit what happens to those who cross his path. Death, destruction, punishment. Always punishment, always something bad has to happen to make God happy. The only way for God to combat evil is by committing greater evil. Again, don't you see why this is an issue for me?
Not being angry with someone does NOT mean "don't rape them".
Actually having been raised Catholic I can "assume" the Catholic Framework. It's not foreign to me, I just don't agree with it.
But the participants in the OT did not have Jesus, why shouldn't we read it without Jesus? Why is Jesus an afterthought?

PITTSBURGH — The fired Slippery Rock borough police chief is suing three borough officials in federal court for wrongful termination.
Terry Brown, who was fired in 2010, is suing borough council President Dave Miller, former borough council Vice President Blase Tucci and borough solicitor Neva Stanger.
The suit, filed Wednesday, alleges that Brown was fired because he did not support a proposed merger between the borough and Slippery Rock Township.
Brown, a township resident, had worked at the borough since 1986 and was named the chief in 2009.
In 2009 and 2010, the borough and the township were renegotiating a mutual aid agreement through which the borough police provided services to the township, which does not have a police force.
About that time, borough council members, including Tucci and Miller, began proposing that the two municipalities merge to form one municipality. The suit alleges that township residents and officials generally were opposed to the merger proposal.
However, the suit alleges that Tucci eventually said there would not be a mutual aid agreement and that the municipalities would have to merge if the township wanted borough police service.
Tucci, the suit said, later asked Brown to personally endorse the merger proposal and to attempt to get township support. Brown refused and noted that he could be fired if he engaged in political conduct related to the merger.
In December 2010 Brown was terminated by council over a police training incident.
He appealed to the borough's civil service commission, which ruled that it did not have the authority to reinstate Brown but it did note that termination seemed a disproportionate punishment.
Brown claims the real reason he was fired was because of his lack of support for a merger.
Brown is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

�We are not a debating society. We are a political operation that needs to win.�
Thus did Chris Christie offer one of the most pregnant statements yet in the ongoing Republican argument over the party�s future. At the risk of sounding like one of those �professors� the New Jersey governor regularly condemns, I�d argue that these 15 words, spoken to a Republican National Committee meeting in Boston last week, raise more questions than they answer. Here are a few.
How do you decide on a winning strategy without debating it first? What is wrong with debating differences on policy and philosophy that people in political parties inevitably have? Don�t the voters expect to have some idea of what a party and a candidate believe before they cast their ballots -- and doesn�t that imply debate? Doesn�t the phrase �political operation� risk implying that you are seeking power for power�s sake and not for any larger purpose?
There is also this: Isn�t Christie himself engaged in an important debate with Sen. Rand Paul over national security issues? There�s nothing academic about that.
One of two things is going on here: Either Christie knows he�ll need to have the debate he claims he wishes to avoid but doesn�t want to look like he is questioning fundamental conservative beliefs; or he really believes that the �I can win and the other guys can�t� argument is enough to carry him to the 2016 Republican presidential nomination he shows every sign of seeking.
His target audience, after all, is an increasingly right-wing group of Republican primary voters who are unforgiving of ideological deviations. The last thing Christie needs is the sort of debate that casts him as a �moderate.�
Let�s stipulate that Christie is far less �moderate� than either his fans among Democrats and independents or the hardest-core conservatives seem to believe. Simply because Christie was nice to President Obama after Hurricane Sandy -- at a moment when New Jersey needed all the federal help it could get -- lots of people forget how conservative the pre-Sandy Christie was.
In 2011, he went to the summer seminar sponsored by the Koch brothers in Colorado, heaped praise on them and said, among other things: �We know the answers. They�re painful answers. We�re going to have to reduce Medicare benefits. We�re going to have to reduce Medicaid benefits. We�re going to have to raise the Social Security age. We�re going to have to do these things. We�re going to have to cut all type of other government programs that some people in this room might like. But we�re gonna have to do it.�
If I were on the right, I�d be taken by Christie�s skills at making conservative positions sound �pragmatic� and �practical.� Candidates who are perceived as dogmatic or highly ideological rarely win elections.
But here�s the problem: You can�t run as a pragmatic candidate if your party won�t let you. For Christie to win, he will have to persuade the grass-roots Republicans who decide nominations that the party�s steady march rightward is a mistake.
Surely Paul, Ted Cruz and others among Christie�s potential opponents won�t let him slide by without challenging him hard -- yes, �debating� him -- about what he really stands for. Christie needs something more substantial than, �You guys are losers,� even though he would relish saying it.
Mitt Romney�s experience in 2012 is instructive. He was a relatively pragmatic governor, especially on health care, and could have been a more attractive candidate than he turned out to be. Yet the dynamics of a Republican primary electorate that is short on middle-of-the-roaders pushed Romney away from his old self and toward positions that made him less electable. Faced with opponents to his right, he was reactive and drifted their way. In the end, it wasn�t clear who Romney was, other than the candidate who spoke derisively about the �47 percent.�
Those who understand how a �political operation� works know that genuine pragmatism requires a defeated party to engage in rethinking, not just repositioning. Bill Clinton laid out a detailed program and a set of arguments as a �New Democrat.� George W. Bush spoke of �compassionate conservatism� and challenged at least some of the most reactionary positions held by congressional Republicans.
Winning re-election this November by the biggest possible margin will buy Christie time. But eventually the debating society will beckon. He�ll have to be very clear, if not professorial, about the argument he wants to make.

Any protagonist in any movie has got to have at least some little something that draws you to him. I mean, c�mon, even Hannibal Lecter exuded some charm when he wasn�t ripping the faces off of people.
But that�s not the case with Julian Assange, the founder of the �anti-secrecy� Website WikiLeaks. As played by Benedict Cumberbatch, Assange comes across as someone who�s passionate about his calling in life but is also a practitioner of questionable ethics, a man without even a hint of social graces and, to put it bluntly, is a jerk. Seriously, do you really want to spend any time with this guy?
The film begins with WikiLeaks� massive 2010 leak of secret files and military records concerning U.S. activities in Afghanistan, then shoots back to 2007 when the organization was just a one-man operation in Europe.
But it was soon to have one more person working with Assange, a German computer expert named Daniel Berg (Daniel Bruhl), who fell under Assange�s spell. If Assange was the leader, Berg was the willing follower. If Assange was the idea man, Berg did all of the grunt work. If Berg was just a regular fellow, Assange was a mystery man living in his own bubble.
The whole thing of WikiLeaks was to expose corruption in the world, including human rights violations, by offering anonymity to whistleblowers who would send information to the organization. That�s how wrongdoings in a Swiss bank and death squads in Kenya were made public.
One of the film�s problems is how director Bill Condon (�Gods and Monsters,� the last two �Twilight� films) shows the way things work. The WikiLeaks system is explained via some dazzling visuals that are more distracting than useful. A similar situation occurs later when Condon throws in a couple of surreal fantasy scenes about certain characters� inner thoughts. But they�re so jarring, they pull you out of the film.
Yet for some viewers, these problems will be the spice that might keep them interested in watching. The movie is repetitive and draggy, constantly presenting Assange�s quiet rants concerning true commitment to causes and the sacrifice that goes along with it, or keeping up the folly of telling others about the �hundreds of volunteers� in the organization, when there are only two, or the ever-building rift between Assange and Berg when, for example, Berg suggests to his boss that they are journalists, which means they have to verify their sources.
But Assange, never willing to veer from his mission, which includes protecting those sources, doesn�t care about being professional. No matter what he�s putting up on that website, he�s convinced that it�s �information the world needs to know.�
While WikiLeaks involves only two people, the film is filled with lots of folks on different sides of different issues. David Thewlis plays Nick Davies, a reporter at the British daily the Guardian, and is an early supporter of getting Assange�s information in print, as long as names are redacted in order to keep the people safe. The U.S. State Department (Laura Linney and Stanley Tucci, wasted in brief roles) gets involved when Assange starts to make a name for himself in Europe.
When the stakes reach new heights, as they do with the release of that Afghanistan information, some interesting turns take place with Assange growing paranoid over the idea that he�s being watched by both the CIA and the KGB. �They�re looking for us; they�ve got people everywhere!� he says in one of his very few excitable moments. But in the end, the film fizzles without ever catching fire. Even in the supposedly revelatory coda, Assange remains a total mystery, except for one thing: No one likes him.

Any protagonist in any movie has got to have at least some little something that draws you to him. I mean, c�mon, even Hannibal Lecter exuded some charm when he wasn�t ripping the faces off of people.

A black male suspect got away with an undisclosed amount of money during a robbery of a Norman bank Monday.
James E. Finch, Special Agent in Charge of the Oklahoma City Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announced the robbery of the Bank of Oklahoma, 2600 W. Robinson Street, Norman on Monday.
At approximately 11:49 a.m. this morning, a lone black male approached the teller counter at the Bank of Oklahoma Branch, located inside the Homeland Grocery Store at 2600 W. Robinson Street. The subject passed a note to the teller indicating he was armed and demanding money. The teller complied and the subject placed an undisclosed amount of money inside a folded newspaper. The subject then departed the bank and was last observed riding a bicycle south from the Homeland Store. No one was injured in today's robbery.
Surveillance photos and witness descriptions depict the subject as follows:
Black male, approximately 50 years of age, 5'10", 150 lbs, thin build, wearing a dark colored jacket, plaid shirt with white collar, baseball style cap with a white design on front, wearing eyeglasses.
The robbery is being investigated by the FBI and the Norman Police Department. The subject is believed to be the same individual who robbed the Communication Federal Credit Union at 300 12th Ave, S.E. in Norman on Feb. 1.
Anyone with information regarding this robbery should contact the FBI at (405) 290-7770 (24 hour number). You may remain anonymous. The Oklahoma Banker's Association offers a reward of up to $2,000.00 for information leading to the identification, arrest and/or conviction of anyone robbing a member bank.

A former Hale County Sheriff's deputy has been accused of stealing drugs, guns and cash he was given for undercover drug buys. Darrell Lee McGuire, 37, has been charged with 16 counts of second-degree theft. He was fired as soon as state investigators launched an eight-month investigation in 2011, said Fourth Judicial Circuit District Attorney Michael Jackson.
A former Hale County sheriff's deputy has been accused of stealing drugs, guns and cash he was given to make undercover drug buys.
Darrell Lee McGuire, 37, has been charged with 16 counts of second-degree theft. He was fired as soon as state investigators launched an eight-month investigation in 2011, said 4th Judicial Circuit District Attorney Michael Jackson.
"Nobody is above the law," he said. "He could be sentenced to 10 years on each of those charges."
Hale County Sheriff Ken Ellis asked investigators with the Selma division of the Alabama Bureau of Investigation to look into the missing drugs, money and evidence on Sept. 1, 2011. They determined that McGuire had used department money to conduct undercover drug buys, but had not submitted the drugs as evidence to the Hale County Sheriff's Office or the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for storage or testing. They documented 16 alleged instances between May 2008 and January 2011.
The ABI investigators spoke with a witness who alleged he had helped McGuire repackage drugs and sell them to buyers in Prattville, Centreville, Selma, Safford and Birmingham, according to the ABI's final summary of the investigation.
They reviewed papers McGuire submitted after making undercover buys and compared them to Hale County evidence logs and Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences records. Investigators conducted a search of Hale County evidence lockers and interviewed several witnesses.
The investigators determined that McGuire reported taking possession of several bags of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, marijuana, cash and a shotgun, according to the summary. Those items were not submitted to Hale County evidence or the forensics department, which tests drugs.
Investigators found that some of the reports filed by McGuire were falsified. Two reports detailing supposed purchases that McGuire filed indicated that he bought marijuana and crack from a man whose existence the investigators could not verify. One report claimed that the deputy bought $50 of drugs from a man who hasn't been charged with drug possession since 1997, according to the summary.
A Hale County grand jury reviewed the evidence in November and issued a 16-count indictment against McGuire.
McGuire had worked as a law enforcement officer for at least 10 years, Jackson said. He worked in Pine Hill in Wilcox County and the Uniontown Police Department in Perry County before becoming a Hale County deputy.
McGuire was recently arrested on the charges and released on $80,000 bond. Jackson was unsure of the arrest date but said McGuire would be arraigned in Hale County Circuit Court in a few months.

National Newspaper Week - today through Saturday - is a good time to offer a fresh perspective on the newspaper industry.
To paraphrase what Mark Twain said about the premature printing of his obituary, let me say the reports of the death of newspapers in our state and nation are greatly exaggerated.
While the printed edition continues to be the core product, many newspaper media companies today also offer news in a variety of digital options: Websites, text alerts, mobile sites, social media sites, apps and more.
And regardless of how your news is delivered, it still originates with your local newspaper.
As a matter of fact, South Carolina today has more than 100 newspapers, including 16 dailies and 93 vital community newspapers.
Each week, more than 2.5 million people read a South Carolina newspaper.
A recent survey conducted by the National Newspaper Association through the University of Missouri School of Journalism has a few points I'd like to share:
• 71 percent of the respondents read a community newspaper at least once a week.
(A similar study done by the Newspaper Association of America found 7 in 10 Americans read the paper in print or online each week. And it is important to note that 59 percent of young adults ages 18-24 read newspaper media weekly.)
• More than 70 percent believe the accuracy and the coverage of their local paper is either "good" or "excellent."
• 69 percent agreed newspapers provide valuable local shopping and advertising information.
Newspapers are part of the fabric that builds strong communities across our state.
From high school sports to weddings and obituaries, from police coverage to reporting on government, from grocery ads to want ads…newspapers are there looking out for their readers.
One of the prime functions of newspapers in our democratic society is to be the watchdog of government and people in power. And South Carolina newspapers are doing their jobs.
From an unreported tuberculosis outbreak in Greenwood to the hacking of tax records from the Department of Revenue, newspapers broke the stories and stuck with them to uncover all the facts.
A newspaper challenged the secrecy of the state Department of Public Safety to obtain records relating to the DUI arrest of an elected official. Another newspaper persistently reported on the hiring practices of a school district that resulted in numerous friends and relatives of the school board chair being hired. The paper also reported the son of the board chair routinely used district vehicles to run personal errands while on the clock for work. Newspapers have been vigilant in reporting on the misuse of political campaign funds and instances where public officials and employees use public money as if it were their own.
Like all businesses in these tough economic times, newspapers have had to deal with cost-cutting measures. Still, daily and weekly newspapers remain the only true mass media in almost every market in South Carolina.
The times they are a-changin', but you can still get a newspaper delivered to you for less than the price of a cup of coffee. That's a lot of bang for your buck.
Bill Rogers is executive director of the S.C. Press Association, the trade group for South Carolina's more than 100 newspapers.

Oxford police are asking for the public's help in locating a man wanted in connection with a July 5 fire that destroyed a golf cart and the 4th green of Pine Ridge Country Club.
A warrant was issued out of Dudley District Court Friday for the arrest of Conner Brochu, 19, of 61 Pleasant St., North Oxford.
A former employee of the country club, which is adjacent to Mr. Brochu's home on Pleasant Street, Mr. Brochu faces charges of burning personal property (arson) and property destruction.
Damage to the golf cart, which was a total loss, and the green was estimated at $25,000 to $30,000, police said.
The investigation into the incident was reopened in December by Sgt. Jeromy T. Grniet.
Sgt. Grniet and Officer Dan Karle spoke to two juveniles who were believed to have witnessed the incident. The juveniles told officers that Mr. Brochu used a key he had kept from his employment to steal the cart. It was driven onto the fourth green, where it was tipped onto its side.
They said Mr. Brochu ignited the flag on the pin and used it to set the gasoline leaking from the golf cart engine compartment ablaze.
Police have been unable to locate Mr. Brochu since the warrant was issued.
Anyone with information about Mr. Brochu is asked to contact the Oxford Police Department at (508) 987-0156.

Three police officers are challenging the legality of an investigation into their conduct in the Plebgate affair, it has emerged.
The Police Federation is supporting the officers in their application for judicial review of the probe by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
Andrew Mitchell And Plebgate: How It Happened
Federation representatives Inspector Ken MacKaill, Detective Sergeant Stuart Hinton and Sergeant Chris Jones were initially told they would face no action over accounts they gave of a meeting with the then Government chief whip Andrew Mitchell the month after his row with officers in Downing Street, but that decision is now being reconsidered.
Mr Mitchell, who eventually resigned from his post, became involved in a heated confrontation with officers in September 2012 after he was refused permission to cycle through the main gate. He later admitted swearing but denied he called officers "plebs".
The following month, he met with Mr Hinton, Mr Jones and Mr MacKaill in his Sutton Coldfield constituency to clear the air, but a further row was sparked when the officers told journalists that he had refused to reveal what he said in Downing Street, something apparently contradicted by a recording of the meeting.
The Police Federation said papers seeking judicial review were lodged at the High Court on Friday and a decision on whether the application will be granted is awaited.
A spokeswoman said: "Following a request to consider the lawfulness of its decision the IPCC was asked to suspend its investigation and an invitation to the officers to attend for interview. This was declined.
"As a result there was no option but to lodge an application for judicial review, which is the appropriate route to challenge decisions taken by a public authority.
"The three officers have been legally advised that the interviews should not now take place while the High Court is seized of the matter. The IPCC have been fully informed of the intention to apply for judicial review and that an application had been issued."
She added: "It is only right and proper that police officers face investigation where they are suspected of wrongdoing. At the same time, police officers are entitled to understand the process that will hold them to account for their actions as with any disciplinary proceedings and to accept the outcome in good faith.
"We believe that the IPCC's actions are unlawful. In the interest of fairness, the system should be changed if it is judged not to be working, rather than move the goal posts after the event. This is now for the High Court to determine."
She said it was wholly inaccurate to suggest that the three officers had refused to meet with the IPCC.
An IPCC spokeswoman said: "Our position is that our investigation is lawful and it remains ongoing.
"When we appeared before the Home Affairs Committee on November 5 we informed them that, unless further lines of enquiry were identified, we would complete our investigation by Christmas.
"As part of the review of the available evidence the investigator did pursue some additional lines of enquiry and as a result there is a delay in the original timing. All interested persons were advised of a possible delay in late November.
"To date, all three officers have been served with notices advising them they are subject to investigation and their actions, if proven, would amount to gross misconduct. We have also redrafted the terms of reference and enhanced the audio recording of the meeting in order to make a definitive transcription of it.
"All that remains to complete the investigation is for the officers to be interviewed. In late December the three officers were asked to agree dates to attend to be interviewed with the investigator but declined to do so. As a result, under the relevant legislation, the investigator has specified times and dates for these interviews later this month (January).
On Friday, a serving police officer, Pc Keith Wallis, admitted lying about witnessing the row in Downing Street.
He pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to a charge of misconduct in public office, having been charged after sending an email to Conservative deputy chief whip John Randall, who was his MP, wrongly claiming that he had seen what happened as Mr Mitchell left Downing Street on September 19, 2012.
The guilty plea has led to calls for the former international development secretary and chief whip's return to the Government.

Mimi & Dem Babies vs Nicki Minaj
As I wrote last week, Nicki Minaj is getting seriously outplayed by Mimi on American Idol. You can't take down the Mother of Dem Babies, an experienced Bitch, with a Twitter rant even if you do have more followers. And especially not when you signed a contract with the mainstream. Does it get any more mainstream than American Idol? Nicki can front like she's badass and street all she wants. The fact is she's agreed to a deal that is putting her on network television, prime time, for an audience that buys paper towels and laundry soap. That audience is always, always, always going to sway heavily in favour of the pop icon waving around two babies claiming she's a mother first and a superstar second, no matter that she's making said declaration while reclined on a Hello Kitty chaise lounge while being fed fresh strawberries dipped in champagne.
Mimi's position is that Nicki threatened the safety of her "Roc & Roe". Come on. Look at Roc & Roe. Who wouldn't be on Team Roc & Roe? Roc & Roe accompanied their parents to Family Day at the Santa Monica Pier this weekend where Mimi took every opportunity to HAHAHA in Nicki's face, posing with Dem Babies for a family portrait and then…
Oh My God…
These may end up being the Best Photos of 2012…
Mimi on a rollercoaster.
Mimi waving from her rollercoaster throne.
Mimi using the rollercoaster like it's a f-cking WIND MACHINE -- ingenious!
Right now, for Nicki Minaj, there really is no answer to this. Not in this environment and not on this territory. Again, as I said above, this is American Idol, it's mainstream, it's a playground where the moms rule, and the girl with the long nails and the wigs and the sassy attitude will never be the most popular.
As for American Idol producers insisting that last week's reports of onset fighting were exaggerated and "inaccurate", well, here's what I heard about that photo shoot in Baton Rouge on Thursday:
While both Mimi and Minaj both posed (eventually) for group shots, I'm told that everything was delayed because Nicki was late and when she finally did arrive she ended up starting some drama with an executive which backed the schedule up even more. And what was Mimi doing when all this was going down? Oh, well, she was punctual and sweet to everyone.
Too easy. Too easy.

Description: This is a collaboration between bladesmiths Shigefusa and Daniel O'Malley. During one of his visits to Japan, Mr. O'Malley met with Shigefusa to discuss the possibility of working on a series of collaborative knives. Shigefusa would forge and finish the blade. Mr. O'Malley would finish the tang and integral bolsters, completing the knife with deluxe handles better suited to the Western market. The result of their combined efforts are some of the most beautiful - and highest performing - chef's knives in the world.
The gyuto is modeled after the French pattern chef's knife. Longer and slimmer than the santoku, it is well suited to slicing and chopping - in other words, a superb general purpose chef's knife. The long blade means the sawing motion required to cut meat becomes effortless and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance perfect.
Shigefusa forged the san mai blade by forge-welding an ultra-hard (63-64 Rc) carbon steel core between softer layers of suminagashi (damascus). This Japanese technique results in a knife which will hold its edge much longer than even the best European knives. Integral bolsters are frequently found on commercially made Western knives - it is a technique that is easy to do reasonably well in a factory with precise machinery. When done by hand, however, It is an extremely challenging process requiring a high degree of skill and patience - but the effect is well worth the extra effort. The sleekness of the knife is emphasized by the damascene pattern continuing from the blade onto the integral bolster.The handle was formed from exhibition grade stabilized afzelia lay wood. The stabilized wood will hold up well to the significant demands of either a commercial or home kitchen environment. A single piece of this highly figured, extremely rare wood was cut so as to have the wood's complex grain pattern travel across the tang. The interlocked, irregular grain pattern has the characteristic afzelia lay curlicues in tones ranging from pale gold to raw umber. The handle is profiled so as to be very comfortable and provide the chef with a secure grip. Two brass hidden bolt rivets and an elegant stainless steel and copper mosaic pin secure the scales to the tang. The rivets have been profiled to match the wood - the seam is imperceptible. This knife is as high-performing as it is beautiful!

All is not doom and gloom on the west end of Osage Beach.
That's the word from at least three businesses that are surviving the roadway debacle in the Key Largo area and the opening of the expressway some 15 months ago.
All is not doom and gloom on the west end of Osage Beach.
That's the word from at least three businesses that are surviving the roadway debacle in the Key Largo area and the opening of the expressway some 15 months ago.
Jennifer Dowdney of Blair & Co. Confectionery on Osage Beach Parkway and Jason Taylor of Evergreen, Mfg. on the expressway say their businesses are doing well. And Zach Hawkins and Aaron Toft of Molotoft Cocktails say they are doing well despite the Parkway dead-ending just a few hundred feet from their bar and restaurant. Their business is also near the Key Largo interchange.
The west end of Osage Beach Parkway — especially west of Route KK — has received a considerable amount of unfavorable publicity over the past several months after business and property owners began a campaign to draw attention to their economic plight. The owners say their businesses began to suffer a downturn in business after the expressway was opened, after thru-traffic on the Parkway was halted, and after Key Largo was closed, and then re-opened, in the wake of six traffic-related deaths.
There's concern among some businesses that the adverse publicity will keep people away.
Reason for hope
Dowdney said that, as a rule, business at the specialty and candy store is doing well. December business was up over a year ago, and the store's parking lot is full on weekends. She said it's the same for most of the retail stores in The Landing on Main Street, an eclectic mix of shops between Route KK and Nichols Road.
While she agreed that it's difficult for shoppers to get to the stores west of Route KK because of poor signage and the dead-end issue, she says those types of challenges "make you work harder and be smarter with your advertising dollars."
Dowdney says several factors have helped her business, including effective advertising, raising awareness of her store and partnering with the Lake Regional Hospital Auxiliary to raise funds.
"But you still have to put your head down and work hard," she said.
Dowdney's family owns Blair & Co. Confectionery, Blair's Landing and other shops in The Landing on Main Street. She said stores in the complex tend to feed off one another, and work together to keep customers informed about what is available.
"We've been in the business a long time and have always provided good service to our customers," she said. "I believe that if you have a great business, people will find you."
Her store is considered a destination business, and she keeps her merchandise fresh and contemporary. She also has a presence on the Internet that draws attention to her products and location.
She estimates that 25 percent of her customers are local residents who come in for specialty gifts or candy. The remaining 75 percent are second homeowners and weekenders who visit the lake regularly and know her store and The Landing through reputation and longevity.
"We as owners work in our store, and I think people like that. They come in and see us time and again and feel comfortable. People like to see and talk to the owner. I think it makes them feel special," Dowdney said.
Her advice to other businesses?
•Change with the times
•Provide what customers want
•Work together.
Jason Taylor, whose store is directly accessible from the expressway not far from Key Largo, says he has sympathy for businesses impacted by the Key Largo confusion.
Taylor has expressed his thoughts about the Key Largo/west end issue at a couple of Osage Beach meetings. He agrees that the expressway has negatively affected some businesses.
But the new highway has actually done well for him.
"I'm only eight minutes from Horseshoe Bend Parkway now, and people can get here faster and easier," he said.
While he admitted there is a "learning curve" as people adapt to the new highway infrastructure, he said most people now find it easier to get around.
"If people have a desire to get someplace, they'll get there," he offered.
A weak economy the last five years has impacted all businesses and, like Dowdney, Taylor has sharpened his business skills. He remodeled the front of Evergreen, Mfg., recently and brings in new merchandise every year to meet the needs of his customers.
"We have a following," he said. "And I'm here every day interacting with my customers."
One of the success stories of Osage Beach Parkway west of Rt. KK has been Molotoft Cocktails, which is close to the Key Largo intersection. Co-owners Aaron Toft and Zach Hawkins were opening the renovated bar/restaurant when the Key Largo/expressway project was opening.
"We're doing great," Hawkins said. "Sales are up from when we opened."
Hawkins and Toft are on-scene owners, greeting customers and making them feel welcome. They have the same hands-on business philosophy of Dowdney and Taylor.
"We offer good food, good service and good prices," Hawkins said. "We make people feel welcome and give them a good experience that makes them want to come back."
For the first time, Molotoft Cocktails was on the Mardi Gras Pub Crawl tour Feb. 16, and the restaurant/bar had return customers the following day for breakfast.
"As long as we give our customers a good experience and atmosphere, they come back," he said.
Molotoft Cocktails also has a designated non-smoking room, which customers seem to appreciate. A separate dining area is available for private parties, also plus business for their young establishment.

Prom 2013: Top trends
When searching for the right prom dress, experts such as Rent the Runway fashion Director Lucy Sykes Rellie and "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta" image consultant Monte Durham advise taking a hint from the red carpet. "Dakota and Elle Fanning have great red carpet style, because they're able to flaunt their girlie sides while still showing their personalities and pushing the envelope," says Rellie. From bold colors and embellishments to sweetheart necklines and high-low hems, here are some of the top trends expected at high school proms this year.
Bright colors are hot for prom this year, but keep silhouettes simple to prevent going overboard. This strapless dress with ruched bust and beading is $99 at David's Bridal stores.
Bold red is always a show stopper. This Pamella Roland Declaration of Love Gown retails for $1,925, but you can rent it for $260 at renttherunway.com.
Prom is your one night to shine, and metallic details are here to help. This Erin by Erin Fetherston Metallic Drizzle Gown retails for $550, but you can rent it for $115 at renttherunway.com.
Silver foil detail makes this Aqua strapless gown stand out, $268 at select Bloomingdale's stores and bloomingdales.com.
"Teens love sparkle," says "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta" image consultant Monte Durham. Sequins and embellished details are sure to take center stage. This Mignon gown is $468, at bloomingdales.com.
It's rare, but sequins can be subtle. Proof: This Mignon Princess Tulle gown, $488 at bloomingdales.com.
EMBELLISHMENTS Vera Wang knows bridal, so it's no surprise her WHITE by Vera Wang prom dress has the same floral-inspired details as the season's hottest wedding gowns. This bubble dress with organza petals is $198, at David's Bridal in Massapequa Park and davidsbridal.com.
When these two classics are put together, color need not apply. This Yuliana V-neck evening dress by BCBGMAXAZRIA is $338, at bcbgmaxazria.com.
Floral prints are an ultra-feminine way to make your prom dress pop. This BCBG one shoulder sweetheart gown is $448 at select BCBG, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom stores and online.
Sweetheart tops are the popular cut this season, but add an asymmetrical twist for a fun but elegant touch. This LM by Mignon one shoulder gown also has sheer detail with sequin embellishments, $288 at bloomingdales.com.
With the glamour of a floor-length gown and the sex appeal of a mini, high-low styles are the perfect mix for prom. This Nicole Miller Georgette gown is $495 at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores and saksfifthavenue.com.
This girly cut is a hit this year with the prom crowd. This tulle gown in navy blue is $289 at David's Bridal stores and davidsbridal.com.
This year's lace styles put a fresh new spin on the timeless classic. This Nha Khanh Noir Timeless Love Dress retails for $885, but you can rent it for $125 at renttherunway.com.
Sheer lace detail is subtly sexy but still sophisticated. This print and lace-blocked strapless dress by BCBGMAXAZRIA is available for pre-order for $398 at bcbgmaxazria.com.
Soft fabrics such as jersey knit, organza and chiffon are popular right now, says Dhuram. This ERIN by Erin Fetherston strapless chiffon gown is $395 at bloomingdales.com.
If Angelina Jolie on the red carpet is any indication, prom-goers will use the slit to show off their legs in long, form-fitting gowns. This ABS bustier gown is $485 at saksfifthavenue.com.
For the color-loving girl who just can't pick one shade, ombre is the answer. This strapless La Femme gown is $398 at peachesboutique.com

Competitors peddling deer-hunting advice are locking horns in a Lenawee County courtroom.
A Coldwater couple who started a consulting business in 1994 is suing the owners of a similar business near Addison that was started in January. Tony and Lesa LaPratt claim trade secrets were stolen from them by Whitetail Ambush Secrets Inc.
A hearing was started Nov. 19 in Lenawee County Circuit Court on motions to dismiss the LaPratts' complaint. A date is to be scheduled for Judge Margaret M.S. Noe to complete the hearing and make a ruling.
The lawsuit was filed earlier this year, claiming Whitetail Ambush Secrets Inc. features information and skills "virtually identical to those offered by LaPratt." The suit handled by Onsted attorney Fred Lucas claims the new company is violating confidentiality agreements signed by co-owner James Brauker when he attended three of the couple's "boot camp" training sessions.
The LaPratts own and operate Ultimate Land Management/ Whitetail Boot Camps LLC. The company provides advice on creating habitat to attract deer as well as training in what they call "unconventional and revolutionary" methods of hunting whitetail deer.
Brauker started Whitetail Ambush Secrets with John Ehlinger and Randy VanderVeen in January, selling videos and consulting services on habitat development for whitetail deer and hunting techniques.
The seven-count lawsuit claims Whitetail Ambush Secrets breached a confidentiality agreement signed by Brauker and claims unfair competition, unjust enrichment, conspiracy and a violation of Michigan's Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
There is no evidence to support any of those charges, said attorney John Koselka of Adrian.
LaPratt and his company "utilize the same tricks and techniques which deer hunters have been using for literally thousands of years. They have not come up anything which is novel or revolutionary, except their lawsuit which should be dismissed," Koselka said in his summary disposition motion.
Brauker, Ehlinger and VanderVeen are expert deer hunters who provide services as instructors, guides and habitat managers, he said. The LaPratts have not identified any specific secrets or techniques they use that are not widely known among experts, he said, nor is there any proof the couple's business has suffered from competition by his clients.
The Nov. 19 hearing dealt only with a motion by another defendant to dismiss the suit. Kenneth Kozminski was also sued because he appeared in an article about a Whitetail Ambush Secrets training session after attending one of the LaPratts' boot camps.
Kozminski's attorney, Sarah McAfee of Mount Clemens, argued her client is in the restaurant business in St. Joseph and has no connection with Whitetail Ambush Secrets.
Lucas argued there is evidence he participated in demonstrating a technique at one of the company's training sessions that is taught at the LaPratts' boot camp. That is a violation of a confidentiality agreement he signed, Lucas said, regardless of whether it revealed a trade secret.
Noe took the motion under advisement pending completion of the hearing.

(part 2)
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

1962 Topps Baseball BucksAnother Hit Topps Test Issue from the 1960's !!!
The 1962 Topps Bucks were one of Topps most creative Test Issues. Each "Buck" resembled U.S. currency and measured 1 3/4" x 4 1/8" but instead of George Washington staring at you, it could be Mickey Mantle !!! A drawing of the player's home park along with a brief write-up also appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos.
The 1962 Topps Bucks test issue was sold in it's own 1 cent wax packs and was not an insert in 1962 Topps wax packs. Most examples exist with a fold line but it should not be overly noticeable. Player selection was great as the set is packed with numerous Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron and more !!!

Friday, August 17, 2012 - Zdenek and Lukas - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
We invited Zdenek Berdak in for a Screentest, with Lukas Pribyl. Lukas drives up in his car, then he gets out and removes his shirt as he walks into the park. He stands around and watches as people pass by. Zdenek, on roller blades, goes past him, and then turns around to come back the other way. He is just coasting as he approaches Lukas again. Lukas says hi and asks if Zdenek can teach him to roller blada as well. He suggests going, in the car, for a drink. Zdenek goes back to the car with him and they get it. Then Lukas let's the real reason out, as he suggests they don't go for a drink but find something else to do. He starts by kissing Zdenek. Then his hand drops to Zdenek's shorts and starts to rub him. Pulling the shorts open we see that Zdenek's cock is quite hard and Lukas goes down on it. He sucks on that nice, fat cock a while. Then the scene changes and the guys are on a sofa, naked, with Lukas still sucking. His own cock is hard and he is wanking it as he sucks. He then moves, climbing on top of Zdenek, slipping his cock into his mouth for sucking as he leans over and begins to rim his ass. Lukas' tongue laps at that ass hole, and then begins to finger it, while his own cock is being sucked. Two fingers push into Zdenek's ass while he wanks on Lukas cock. Zdenek's ass is soon ready for cock and they change position so that he can sit himself down on Lukas' throbbing dick. He rides that cock a while and then turns around and sits down again, with Lukas thrusting his dick deep into that eager ass. Lukas really loves that ass and fucks nice and hard. He then puts Zdenek into missionary position and continues fucking him as hard as he can. Zdenek loves the feeling and wanks himself as well, soon shooting a mighty big load of cum. This soon sends Lukas over the edge too and he moves to shoot his cum all over Zdenek's chest and face. Zdenek then takes the sticky, spent cock into his mouth for cleaning before the guys kiss to bring his Screentest to a very nice end.
Petr Castek is 21 years old and he lives in Prague. He is currently unemployed and enjoys jogging and athletics. He is very relaxed as he sits on the sofa and does his interview. Petr then removes his shirt and lays back to begin his show. His hands run over his body, dipping into the white jeans, for a feel of cock. Then, when it is hard, that cock pokes out of the waist band. Petr opens the jeans and begins to wank his cock, finally removing the jeans and getting completely naked. He wanks hismelf as his body writhes. Turning on his side, with his cock trapped between his legs, Petr spreads his cheeks to show us a very nice hole. At this point a helping hand arrives and oils Petr's body. Putting Petr on his knees the hands concentrate on that hot ass, with more oil, and on wanking the cock. As it is wanked precum appears. Petr turns over, onto his back and the hands continue wanking him until he shoots a nice load of cum, which squirts at first and then oozes out of that cock. The wanking continues and Petr's legs are lifted into the air, to show his hole again. It is teased by the helping hand's fingers for a bit before Petr is allowed to go off for a nice, refreshing shower.
Ian Ford is 18 years old and comes from Kezmarok in Slovakia. He is a student who enjoys dancing, sport and girls. Ian is a very nice looking guy. He has a very good, swimmer's build as well. Neatly dressed for his shoot he poses very well as he, slowly, removes his clothes. Showing that hot chest and sexy ass and then a nice flaccid cock hanging in front of those low hanging balls he looks very good indeed. Then, changing poses, we see more of the cock and balls as Ian sits for some shots. Next Ian gets that cock hard and what a great sight that is too, standing proud for the camera. He then leans back and lifts his legs to show his tight hole as well. All in all Ian is a very good looking guy who looks splendid in his nudity. I will look forward to seeing his erotic video.
Tomek Sirnad, Kaja Kolomaz, Daniel Malecky, Milos Zambo and Lukas Pribyl featured in Wank Party 2012 #5, and what a great scene it was too. Now we present a backstage video of the scene, showing the guys, working, with the crew, as they play ball, barbecue some food and enjoy each other's bodies.

Description: Sashimi Hocho are used for slicing the raw fish (Sashimi) traditionally served by the Japanese. Also suitable for fine slicing of other meats. Both the handle and the blade are created specifically for left-handed use.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Consequently, these knives can be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
Hon Kasumi refers to the lamination process which creates the misty appearance of the lamination line between the two kinds of metal. These blades are hand forged from a combination of hard Shirogami Hagane 'white steel' forge-welded to a piece of Jigane 'wrought iron'. The most exacting standards as well as considerable time are required for this type of forge work. After forging, each blade is individually tempered to Rockwell 62 (very hard!) leaving a razor edge that is very easy to keep sharp.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 1-2 business days
