About the car:
Introduced in 1967 and named that year's Motortrend Car of the Year, this burgundy Mercury Cougar came standard with a hardtop 289 V8 and serious muscle. It's got an automatic transmission, 3-speed "Merc-o-matic," red interior with aqua space lights, wood steering wheel, hideaway headlights, sequential tail lights, and a fully wired car stereo. Only sold in two-door. Neko named this car "Angie Dickinson," and it's only had two owners and has its original paint. There is enough room in the back of the car to move a small apartment, house your lending library, or to fit your band's gear (or your kid's band's gear!). The beloved photo of Neko standing on the Cougar on the Middle Cyclone album cover has been nominated for the 2009 "Best Recording Package" Grammy.

The rise in popularity of online and mobile banking technologies is undoubtedly tied to the convenience factor of not having to wait in line for a teller – but at what price?
In early spring, as many as 10 million online banking customers' accounts were exposed due to a hack into Global Payments' processing system. While credit card numbers were revealed, the third party financial company that processes information from major banking institutions, government agencies and large corporations, maintains that personal information, including names and Social Security numbers, was not compromised.
Still, in an age where the Wells Fargo mobile app is among the top recommended downloads on Google Play and iTunes, consumers must take extra precautions when it comes to digital banking exchanges, whether they are using a desktop computer or a mobile device.
Besides monitoring account activity, there are a few easy steps you can take to ensure that your money and information stays where it belongs.
SSL Certificate – does the site you're visiting have one?
The first line of defense against phishing activity is making sure the site you're visiting has its SSL certificate. To ensure that the site you're visiting is legit, refer to the left-hand side of your address bar and confirm that "https://" prefaces the Web address.
It's especially important to look for the SSL seal of approval when making transfers and other online banking transactions. Commonly, browsers will display either a warning message or a red strike-through of https:// in the address bar, if the site doesn't have an SSL Certificate. Here's where it gets a little tricky, though: SSL certificates can be faked. So, take an extra step and check the website's SSL legitimacy here: http://www.digicert.com/help/.
Always make sure your software is up to date
That annoying pop-up box is back, reminding you to update your security software. Instead of ignoring it, update your software when you're prompted. Better yet, invest in a cloud-based "set it and forget it" solution that automatically updates your security for you.
The same goes for your mobile banking applications as well; with each update, developers have eliminated any known bugs or glitches, so make sure your phone's protection is current, too.
Password protection
Resist any temptation to allow websites to store your banking login passwords on the computer, or via your mobile apps. Also make sure that your usernames and passwords vary from site to site and include a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, number, and symbols when possible. For this reason, it's a smart idea to use a password management program that store your credentials all in one safe, centralized place.
Changing passwords periodically is also a good line of defense against identity theft and hacking. And always remember to sign out from websites, versus closing out the window, or worse – walking away while it times out.
Email safety
Consider all emails from financial institutions "suspicious packages." Cybercriminals use sophisticated techniques to gain access to your financial records, one of them being an email that appears to be from a banking institution.
Never click through a link and then enter your password; information exchanged in this manner has the potential of getting into the wrong hands.
Malware can spread beyond your personal computer to your mobile device. Not only does this leave you at risk for a hacked phone and compromised personal information, but all of the contacts stored in your phone become susceptible to an attack as well.
Think of it as someone breaking into your house, and among other things, stealing your address book to go commit other crimes.
In addition to the tips suggested here, additional mobile security is recommended, especially for those who regularly use smart devices for online and mobile banking.

If Super Sunday entertaining wasn't your thing, then perhaps another round of New Year's revelry is more your style. It's time to take out the broom and sweep away the winter doldrums with a Chinese New Year gathering: the Year of the Snake is celebrated on Feb. 10.
The Snake is the sixth year of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 years (and 12 different animals) total. Contrary to Western stereotypes about snakes being a fearful animal, Chinese folklore looks upon snakes as lucky.
Ancient Chinese wisdom went so far as to believe that finding a snake in your home was a good omen, and meant your family would be well fed and prosperous. In fact, during certain Chinese spring festivals, people like to paste the paper-cut 'Fu' character, which means happiness, and combine it with a snake twisting around a rabbit onto their doors. This popular pattern is a sign of abundance and wealth in the year ahead.
If you were born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 or 2001, you were born under the sign of the snake. According to Chinese Astrology, a "Snake" person is a smart person. People born during the Year of the Snake are said to be endowed with wisdom and with deep philosophical understanding. They are born thinkers who excel in finding solutions to complex problems.
Enigmatic, intuitive, introspective, and refined, the Snake in the house is considered a good omen because it means your family will not starve. People born in the Year of the Snake are considered keen, cunning, intelligent, wise, and good at business. They also are typically sophisticated, and their choices for home decoration are cultured.
Famous people born in the Year of the Snake? They include Bob Dylan, Greta Garbo, Art Garfunkel, Audrey Hepburn, Dean Martin, Dorothy Parker, Paul Simon, Oprah Winfrey, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Charlie Sheen, Darwin, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martha Stewart, Pierce Brosnan, President Abraham Lincoln, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Allen, and Grace Kelly.
People who are born under this sign, are a complex mix of personsonality traits, acording to the Chinese Zodiac. They can be loners and may use others to achieve their aims and goals. Their goals may be worthwhile for mankind or could be solely for the gain of the Snake person.
Spectacle and symbolism
Chinese New Year is all about spectacle, from those ubiquitous fireworks and dancing dragons to an assortment of delectable food. That's why it's a holiday anyone can enjoy – and a great time to host a party.
From the décor and color scheme to the food, Chinese New Year is rich in beautiful symbols. If you've got a round table, this is the time to use it, because it is a sign of wholeness. Decorate it with red and gold accents to represent good luck and
During Chinese New Year, the color red is everywhere. People wear red, decorate with poems on red paper, and give children "hong bao" (or "lucky money") in red envelopes. That's because the color red symbolizes happiness, abundance and good fortune. It also symbolizes fire, which according to legend can drive away bad luck.
There are all sorts of symbolic foods, each associated with specific blessings or good luck. Noodles – in dishes such as Wonton Soup and Snake Alley Noodles – stand for longevity. Pork symbolizes wealth; whole chicken stands for completeness and prosperity
Supplement the meal with other symbolic foods, such as pot stickers or spring rolls (said to bring prosperity because they resemble gold ingots); a bowl of tangerines or oranges (their Chinese names sound like the words for "luck" and "wealth"); fortune cookies to go with dessert – you can even insert your own customized fortunes for the year ahead. For the ultimate in a customized fortune make homemade fortune cookies and write creative fortunes to delight and amuse your guests. And at exactly the stroke of midnight, open the doors and windows to release the stresses of the old year.

Christian Ponder. Mark "Dirty" Sanchez. Ryan Tannehill. Jay Cutler. John Skelton (or Kevin Kolb). Ryan Fitzpatrick. Alex Smith. Sam Bradford.
Sorry, I'm just not scared. I know three of those already own wins over us, but those were road games and we shot ourselves in the foot in each one. NONE of them were the main reason their teams won. Of that list, Cutler is the one who I think we need to really worry about, but even he has been known to flop time to time. Who is he going to throw to other than Marshall, who will be Shermanized?
5 of these 8 have to come into our house of pain and feel the love from the 12s. It may even be Colin Kaepernick playing for the Whiners come Christmas Eve Eve, since they may already have fome field wrapped up - although I doubt numbnutz Harbaugh will pass up the chance to beat Carroll again.
Compare that with:
Skelton. Romo. Rodgers. Newton. Bradford. Brady. Smith. Stafford. As I posted in my "Expectations & Perspective" thread yesterday, 5 of those 8 eclipsed 4000 yards last season - ironically, something no Seahawks QB has EVER accomplished.
Bottom line - we have a good shot at a 5-3 or 6-2 second half. We also got better down the stretch last season - hopefully that trend reappears this season.

Regents name Dr. Michael Shonrock as 16th presidentDecember 9, 2011
Dr. Michael Shonrock is the 16th president of Emporia State University.
The Kansas Board of Regents voted this morning to approve the appointment then officially introduced Shonrock and his wife, Karen, during a special meeting at Albert Taylor Hall on the ESU campus.
Shonrock plans to begin his presidency Jan. 3, 2012.
"The Board is proud to announce that Dr. Michael Shonrock will be the next Emporia State University president," said Regent Ed McKechnie of Arcadia, Chair of the Board of Regents. "He rose to the top of an exceptional field of candidates, and we're extremely impressed by his experience, enthusiasm and passion he will bring to ESU and the Emporia community. The Board looks forward to working with Dr. Shonrock and celebrating the success of ESU."
Shonrock has served as a Senior Vice President and an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology and Leadership at Texas Tech University. He began his higher education administration career at Texas Tech University in 1990. He has held various leadership positions with increasing levels of responsibility and oversight in the area of Enrollment Management, Student Affairs, and Auxiliary Services. Shonrock earned a B.S. and M.S. from Western Illinois University, his Ed.S. from Pittsburg State University, and his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas.
"Accepting the Presidency of ESU represents a coming home," said Shonrock. "Karen and I are excited and honored to become part of the ESU and Emporia communities, and citizens of the great state of Kansas. ESU has a proud past and I look forward to helping shape the future of this institution with the help of the outstanding members of the ESU family."
Following the Board's announcement, Shonrock was introduced to members of the ESU and Emporia communities during a holiday reception in the rotunda of Albert Taylor Hall.
The announcement of Shonrock as the 16th President of ESU comes after seven months of work by the ESU Presidential Search Committee. Members of the committee received public recognition for their efforts at the announcement.
"A special thank you to the members of the ESU Presidential Search Committee," said McKechnie. "These individuals made a commitment to help the Board find the best candidates from around the nation to lead this fine institution and we recognize that commitment today in naming the 16th President of ESU."
"I wasn't at all surprised by the number of top tier higher education professionals who wanted to be the next ESU president," said Deryl Wynn of Kansas City, Chair of the ESU Presidential Search Committee.

Paul Ryan unveiled a new plan to balance the budget today. He says he can balance the budget within 10 years.
The basic gist:
- A mandatory cap to total spending (relative to GDP).
- Cuts to discretionary spending.
- Tax reform that drastically reduces rates (while also simplifying the code a lot, raising revenue by eliminating loopholes)
- Repealing Obamacare.
- A voucher-based alternative to Medicare, which would cut spending.
- Giving cash to the states (Cutting Medicaid).
- Eliminating "waste."
At his press conference announcing his budget plan, Paul Ryan says that this is the image that should "scare" everyone.
Basically it's his famous scare chart from the last few years showing debt exploding if nothing is done.

Even if you don't consider the Pope more than Patriarch of Rome, the Roman See has had Byzantine members subject to it uninterrupted since before the schism, the Patrirach of Constantinople would have had the same if it had not let the Latin Monastery of Amalfion on Mt Athos fade into oblivion.
I'm wondering what some of you anti-Western Rite people (GiC first of all, of course) think of this article. Please, take the arguement of the article and not the disagreement with his Eminence of Blessed Memory, Metropolitan Athony of SF.I thought it gave good food for thought at the very least:http://www.westernorthodox.com/Lux-Occidentalis
Of course it isn't inappropriate.
We consider the Bishop of Rome more than patriarch of the Latin church.
C-A-T-H-O-L-I-C is the word, not Latin. I'm glad more Latins recognize that of late.
But would it not also be artificial for you to be under an Eastern Patriarch using a western liturgy, being completely divorced from the entire liturgical tradition of your Bishop? The western liturgies have a place, under the western Bishops, be they of Rome or Canterbury; and just as it is most inappropraite for Rome to have churches with eastern liturgies, so is it inappropriate for the Orthodox to have western liturgies.
I suspect that in due time we will have Western Rite Orthodox bishops.
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
It has been our Orthodox failure that we long spent our energies fruitlessly protesting your Uniate program rather than in imitating it, for we too claim to be the one, true Christ of Christ, outside of which there is no salvation. Within the last quarter of a century the Orthodox Church has tardily corrected this policy, and today there are Orthodox faithful in Europe and America who follow the Roman Latin rite. In my own diocese I have four parishes and a mission that use the latin rite in the vernacular, and I am proud that we have led the way in this movement in the United States. In the last issue of Unitas magazine I read with pleasure the positive appraisal of Western Rite Orthodoxy by a Father Kelleher of the Franciscans of the Atonement.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!More ecclesiological soup!?!?!?!
To keep with the food analogy, I think it would be more like straining the soup than adding to it. +Bishop Basil of Wichita has a leadership role in the WR Vicariate (+Most Reverend Bishop Basil, Archepiscopal Vicar). As much as we love him, there will come a day when he will not be in that role. Now, his authority in the WR Vicariate reaches over all bishoprics. Now, I'm not a theologian, and I'm not quite sure what an Archepiscopal Vicar is, but it sounds pretty close to bishop.
It does continue the ecclesiological mess. If you have individual parishes that are WR and don't answer to their local bishop, but rather to a "WR Vicar" then it does contribute to the mess. (THis is exactly why I'm weary of the rhetoric of administrative unity that comes from the OCA and AOA when they say that we are in "ecclesiological heresy" when they, in fact, have situations that are worse within their own diocese!)
Evgraph Kovalevsky was consecrated Bishop Jean-Nectaire de Saint-Denis by ROCOR.10 parishes of this group are seeking to come under the Omophor of the Serbian Patriarchate.
Then Orthodox Western Liturgies aren't inappropriate either. Thanks for clearing that up.The rest of the Ancient Patriarchates do not, however.Thump that chest with pride (and eyes firmly shut).
If the article is what I believe it was intended to be, an apologetic for the western rite, I must say that it feel well short. If it set out to be a brief historical overview of the western-rite services, then it was at least partially successful. The author's addressing of His Eminence, of Blessed Memory, was respectful, if only marginally so. But a few other things unrelated to the argument stood out and concerned me. First, his claim that St. John Chrysostom was an 'Arab Christian,' perhaps I am in error, but I fear this was the first time I have heard such a claim, does someone have some reference to suggest that St. John Chrysostom was indeed an Arab, or is this just poor scholarship? Secondly, I am quite disturbed by the profound disrespect this 'Priest' showed towards Patriarch Theodore VI of Antioch, the Great Canonist Balsamon.
Now onto the content. It would seem as though the goal of the majority of the essay is to demonstrate that the western rite really was the historical liturgy of the west, in response to His Eminence's claim that it was not. This very approach was something of a strawman argument, because nearly the entire essay was devoted to this issue, which wasn't even the primary objection of His Eminence. But with that said, the essay failed to prove its point. What is needed to prove this point is not a narrative on the history of the rite (quietly ignoring any post schism evolution or development of the liturgy), but rather a side by side comparison of the text of the liturgy as it is used today and the a critical text of the liturgy as it was pre-schism. The author would then need to examanine and explain the variations (if any, though I presume there are many, liturgies dont remain static). Towards the end of this section of the essay the author did compare similarities, but frankly I can (and have in papers at Holy Cross) find more similarities than were mentioned between the Tridentine Mass and the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, that hardly means the two are interchangeable. Though I am not a liturgist and cannot speak with certainty about the ancient liturgies, what is telling is that the author found it necessary to compare similarities rather than differences between the liturgy now used and the ancient liturgy.
Clearly there has been substantial evolution in the liturgies over the last 1000 years, evolution that took place completely outside the Orthodox Church. And while, in reference to the Anglican liturgies used, the author went to great lengths to demonstrate that the liturgy was not protestantized, he did little to demonstrate that it was not influenced my medieval Latin theology, some of which must have occured for the liturgy to even be compared to protestant theology (which was done in the essay itself).
Furthermore, the author clearly admited evolutions and developments to the Roman rite during the time of Charlemagne and at the direction of the same. While the schism may not yet have formally occured by this time in history, clear cultural and theological division were starting to form, not the least of which was the iconoclastic tendency of Charlemagne and the Germanic peoples at this time. Therefore this Carolingian influence should also be looked upon with concern, with the theological and cultural developments of this era being considered in the context of the Council of Frankfort and related social influences. None of these difficulities or concerns are even suggested in the very incomplete essay presented.
The final page of the essay, which finally purports to address one of the substantial issues in the discussion, is perhaps the most disturbing element of the paper. On top of the poor scholarship and disrespectiful style, the argument is a non-sequitur. He gives a few examples of various liturgies that developed locally and organically in different geographical regions, tells us how evil we are for advancing liturgical unity (as though this 'Priest' has an appreciation of 13th Century imperial politics that even approaches that of Balsamon), and then insists that because of this we should embrace a museum piece as an organic Orthodox Liturgy (well, not exactly a museum piece, an organic western liturgy that developed for a thousand years completely outside of the Orthodox Church and any sphere of influence she might have had in the context of cultural and theological discussions and developments that are completely foreign to the Orthodox Church; though the author would have us believe that it is simply a museum piece).
And I am also bothered that a layman such as yourself gives this 'Priest' who wrote the article.
From your response above, it almost seems to me that you didn't even read the article...or perhaps just skimmed over it and not actually read it. Without actually making a side by side comparison, which would probably be the subject of an entire thesis spanning perhaps ten times the length of the article, I thought the author did a great job of explaining how there really ISN'T much difference between the WO Rite of St. Gregory vs the more than 1000 yr old traditional text.
Clearly to you, but it doesn't seem like these issues really are as much as influence as you presume. What was that about not being a Liturgist?
Not that I think Karl der Grosse deserves to be venerated as a saint, but I was told that he is considered one by the Church of Rome. Wait, wasn't this over 200 years pre-Schism? Oh wait, even though the Schism hadn't happened yet, I guess that all Christians in "the West" for 300+ years pre-Schism must have been heretics according to you...
Greekischristian, actually the Filioqe was taken out of the WR liturgy during the Creed.
That's not exactly the point I was making...the offending term may have been removed, but the thousand plus years of development in a culture that believed the theology the offending term entailed to be perfectly orthodox has yet to be removed, nor can it be.
So, in other words, Westerners can't be converted. At all. Ever. End of story.Yup, apparently only Greeks can be Christians.
Actually in the last grouping of Archmandrites up for the Bishops List to be considered by the Antiochian Synod, there was at least one western rite archimandrite from Texas on the list of those eligible for election.THOMAS
They can always embrace Greek culture.
It's not messy at all. Now that the AOA has dioceses, the diocesan bishop is the bishop for all parishes in his diocese, whether Eastern or Western. Bishop Basil does have some responsibility for the Western rite, but he does not act as the diocesan bishop of Western rite parishes, except of course in his own diocese. But as far as I know, even Bishop Basil does not use western vestments and celebrate according to either the rite of St. Gregory or St. Tikhon. Typically when a bishop is present at a Western-rite liturgy, the mass is celebrated by a priest in the presence of the bishop. As Western Orthodoxy matures, I hope that our bishops will become bi-ritual so that they can celebrate pontifical mass according to the Western rite.
The rest of the ancient patriarchates have fallen out of communion with Rome. Of course they don't see Rome that way, though they used to.
In the Catholic terminology an episcopal vicar is a priest/auxillary bishop with responsibility for a certain geographic, ethnic, or ritual group and I assume the same is true for the Orthodox.I see no reason why in the future the Antiochians could/would not ordain a celibate/widower/monk Western Rite priest (are there any?) as vicar for the Western Rite just as ROCOR has a vicar bishops for the Old Rite.
Once Rome became steeped in error, remaining in communion with her was counter productive for the Orthodox.
Also, I am compltely in favor of James2's idea of bi-ritual services by Hierarchs. May I just ask, so when the ordination for the Western Rite takes place, in that case do Hierarchs also serve according to the Eastern Rite?
GIC on the Liturgies of SS. Tikhon and Gregory:"Furthermore, not only are their roots museum pieces to us, but their existance within the Orthodox Church is a foreign imposition."Actually not true of the Liturgy of St. Gregory, at least the Anaphora. Manuscripts were found on Mt. Athos that contained the Roman Canon (without Byzantine Epiclesis clumsily and unnecessarily added) inserted in the framework of the Litrugy of St. John Chrysostom. This same Liturgy with Roman Canon was used by Russian Old Rite Orthodox in Turkey under the EP through the 1960s on the Feast of St. Peter and Paul. When they immigrated to America, the Turkish authorities confiscated their liturgical books as historical artifacts.My own guess is that SS. Cyril and Methodius themselves brought the Roman Canon back to the Slav mission with them becasue of the patronage they received from the Pope and this is how the Old Rite came to use it.Fr. Deacon Lance
If one really wants to know about the Western Rite of Orthodoxy - again and again, actually go to the WRO parishes, missions, monasteries. Ask the questions of the WRO rather than playing yet another game of 'the blind men and the elephant'.
I was looking at some of the photos posted on their site of their new chapel and it doesn't really look like an WR setting. It looks more like an Eastern bishops private residential chapel or something. Why do WR people feel the need to be 'Byzantinized' or Easternized to be accepted? Actually, seeing that would turn me off from the WR rather than interest me. It seems rather confusing to have Eastern icons, eastern cross and fans, and western liturgy and chant. Why can't all these things be western but still orthodox??

Snowboarding's stars came out in force Friday night in Denver, Colorado, rocking the Fillmore Auditorium for the 13th Annual TW SNOW Riders' Poll Awards Presented by New Era. The ceremony took place the 2nd night of the largest industry show of the year, SIA. Infamous emcee GT and Signal's Dave Lee presided over the biggest night in snowboarding as the best riders of 2011 took the stage to receive their awards.
In the Women's Rookie Of The Year category, Finnish phenom Enni Rukajärvi accepted the well deserved win after placing first in both the Winter X Games slopestyle and the Burton US Open slopestyle in 2011. The Men's Rookie Of The Year title went to Mark McMorris for a breakout season that included landing the first backside 1440 triple cork and placing second at the X Games slopestyle.
Women's Video Part Of The Year was handed to self proclaimed loose cannon, Jess Kimura, for her part in Capita's Defenders Of Awesome. Men's Video Part Of The Year was picked up by Eric Jackson who threw down a solid five minutes of footy in People's Good Look. E-Jack's part came together after working hard to recover from injuries that left him couched for the previous season.
In recognition of the growing trend away from traditional DVD video parts, this year an Online Video Project Of the Year category was added. Nominees included Xavier De Le Rue's TimeLine and Devun Walsh and Iikka Backstrom's Polar Opposites, but it was Jake Blauvelt's Naturally series that claimed the new title.
Continuing in the video category, Brain Farm's epic The Art Of Flight was awarded Video Of The Year. Filmed in some of the most remote locations to yet be ridden and with next level production value, director Curt Morgan's project made a decisive victory.
The Stand Out Performance Of Year went to Xavier De Le Rue for his ice ride in the Alps.
For the New Era Women's Readers' Choice Award, Jess Kimura's savage approach to the streets won the readers hearts, placing the second trophy of the night in her hands. For the men it was Torstein Horgmo who rallied the most votes to win the category. Despite no full video part, Torsteins' X Games Big Air gold and a strong web video presence helped him maintain exposure.
The man, the myth, the Legend Award winner Jamie Lynn was in person to collect his due for a nearly double decade contribution to the style and culture of snowboarding. Long live the king of style!
For the final presentation of the evening Jess Kimura took the spotlight for the third time to accept the Women's Rider Of The Year Award. She was followed by Travis Rice who won Men's Rider Of The Year for his groundbreaking riding in The Art Of Flight.
Winners of the Riders' Poll Awards are determined by polling more than 100 professional snowboarders worldwide. In addition, thousands of TransWorld SNOWboarding readers vote for the winners of the New Era Men's and Women's Readers' Choice awards.
The Riders' Poll Award Show is presented by New Era. Additional sponsors include Red Bull, Keystone Resort, Spy+, Zumiez, Chipotle, KRÜ 82 Vodka, and Oskar Blues Brewery.

2013 High school baseball preview
ECC Large
Coach: Jack Biggs (8th season).
Key returnees: Sr. OF Anthony Carambot, Sr. P/IF Cole Tretter, Sr. P Jordan Bartlett, Sr. P/IF Adam Rigney, Sr. C/OF Josh Beaulieu, Jr. C Austin Toback.
Top newcomers: Sr. IF Brandon Gillespie, Sr. OF Matt Gillespie, Sr. OF Lee Brake, Jr. IF/P Jack Livingston, Jr. IF Ryan Nickerson, Jr. P/IF Will Butler, Jr. P/IF Tim Donahue, Jr. OF Dean Beebe, Jr. IF/P Connor Elliott, So. OF Hunter Waido, So. OF Sam Gonski, So. OF Mike Morgan, So. IF Owen Tretter, So. P/IF Logan Banker, So. C Connor Parker.
Outlook: The defending ECC tournament champion, East Lyme (19-5) has very few players with varsity experience, having lost all-league picks Pete Gonski (P), Chase Livingston (C) and Zach Kane (SS) to graduation. Pitching depth and athleticism will be keys to getting off to a good start, Biggs said.
Coach: Marc Peluso (6th season).
Key returnees: Sr. C Justin Wallace, Sr. P/IF Aaron Hill, Jr. P David Porter, Jr. IF Jack Porter.
Top newcomers: Sr. P/IF Pete Aldrich, Sr. P/IF/OF Izzy Davila, Sr. P/OF Tristan Hurley.
Outlook: After losing eight of nine starters from last season's Class L state championship team, the Falcons (24-4) will need a new core of players to continue to develop as the season progresses. With hard work, they will have a chance to compete in the Large Division. Hill was an All-ECC Large pick for Fitch, which shared the division title and reached the finals of the league tournament before topping New Canaan 6-4 for the state championship. Aldrich and Davila, meanwhile, were All-ECC Small Division picks last season at St. Bernard before transferring.
Coach: Mike Wheeler (5th season).
Key returnees: Sr. OF Gabriel Diaz, Sr. IF/OF Isaias Cruz, So. P Josh Vincent.
Top newcomers: Sr. IF/P Ackee Barber, Jr. P/IF Jason Edwards, Jr. IF Beckett Scannelli, So. P Quantique White, So. C John Hernandez, Fr. P/OF Jeremy Santos.
Outlook: After going 10-10 in the regular season (3-7 ECC Large), the Whalers put together a solid run in the Class L tournament, winning two games before losing 1-0 to RHAM in the quarterfinals to finish 12-11. The Whalers don't have much varsity experience, but Wheeler has a solid group of newcomers. Vincent will anchor a pitching staff that should include Edwards, Santos and White. Diaz batted over .400 last season and stole 25 bases.
Coach: Clarence Cooper (6th season).
Key returnees: Jr. C Brandon Deveny, Jr. IF/P Chance Gendron, Sr. OF Miles Laureano, Sr. OF Austin Lee, Jr. IF/P Eddie Gates, Sr. P/IF Devin Robbins, Sr. P/IF Logan Gordon, Sr. P Jordan Kaiser.
Top newcomers: Sr. P Geoff Montgomery, Jr. OF Brandin Strickland, Jr. P Zach Podurgiel, So. C Brandon Drabinski.
Outlook: The Wildcats (7-13) return several key players from a young 2012 team. Pitching depth should be the strength for this team along with solid catching. A new competitive focus in practice, quality at-bats and a commitment to improve every day will make for an exciting season.
Coach: Art Peluso (3rd season).
Key returnees: Sr. P/3B Jordan Hamler, Sr. P/OF Kyle Willoughby, Sr. OF Nik Lehet, Sr. OF Tom Keech, Jr. C Seth Hoagland.
Top newcomers: Sr. OF David Zaldivar, Jr. P/1B Adam Goss, Jr. 2B/utility Sam Strout, Jr. SS Jesse Coates, Jr. P Colin Harrington, So. OF Wil Sherman, So. IF/P Connor Lewis.
Outlook: The Lancers (19-5) will have a huge hole left by the loss of catcher James Annello and pitcher Nolan Long, two Class L all-state players. An inexperienced pitching staff will have to develop and, offensively, returning players will need to improve on last year's performances and underclassmen must compete for Lancers to score runs.
ECC Medium
Coach: Sam Kilpatrick (20th season).
Key returnees: Sr. C Kyle Perry, Sr. P/IF Chris Turner, Sr. P/IF Matt McElwee, Jr. OF Jordan Kowalski, Jr. P/OF Evan August, Jr. P/IF Kavan Jakuba.
Top newcomers: Jr. IF Damon Bickham, Jr. P Josh Throop, So. P/IF Michael Bruce, So. P/IF Andrew Byrd, So. OF Michael Larmann, So. OF Mike McDowell, So. C Branden Medina, So. P Kyle Haney, Fr. P/IF Trevor Bolduc, Fr. P/IF Anthony Viteritto.
Outlook: Ledyard missed the state tournament by one win last season, finishing 7-13. But the Colonels were just 1-9 in the Medium Division and will look to improve on that, says Kilpatrick, behind an experienced pitching staff and improved defense. Turner was an ECC all-star last season.
Coach: Phil Orbe (18th season).
Key returnees: Sr. SS Brandon Haas, Sr. P Dominic Walmsley, Sr. 3B/P Jordan Volpe, Sr. P Jeff Robbins, Jr. OF/P Chad Mooney, Jr. P/OF Joseph Brachas.
Top newcomers: Sr. 2B Dan Pierce, Sr. OF Nick Clemons, Sr. 2B Lucas Van Hausen, Sr. utility Kyle Williams, Sr. C Andrew Fratoni, Jr. P/3B Greg Benjamin, Jr. OF/P Stan Kesilewski, Jr. 1B Mitch Dole, Jr. OF Marc McGrath, So. C Jordan Zeppieri, So. IF/P Buddy Dewaine, So. 3B/1B Pat Monahan.
Outlook: Montville graduated the players who accounted for 65.3 percent of its innings pitched and 68.4 percent of its plate appearances last year when the Indians went 18-2 in the regular season and won the ECC Medium Division. "Many players that have 'waited their turn,' to contribute, now have the opportunity," Orbe said. Haas (.375, 30 runs, 30 RBI) and Volpe (.384) both had breakout seasons offensively last year, however, and Orbe likes the trio of Robbins (3-0, 20 strikeouts), Brachas (0.40 ERA) and Walmsley on the mound.
Coach: Duffy Grace (6th season).
Key returnees: Sr. IF Pat Coan, Sr. P/OF Doug Domnarski, Sr. OF/IF/P Brian Frosti, Sr. OF Max Kelley, Jr. 1B/DH Ryan Francis, Jr. C Connor Gilbert.
Top newcomers: Sr. SS/P Kyle Woodworth, So. P/OF Shane Foster.
Outlook: Domnarski was an All-ECC pick in the outfield last season and, a left-hander who pitched a team-high 49 innings with 54 strikeouts and a 2.00 ERA, will also serve as the ace of the Bears' staff. The rest of the rotation will be new, but Grace says early signs point to the staff being competitive as Stonington tries to improve on last year's 12-11 mark. Coan, Domnarski and Kelley are experienced hitters.
ECC Small
Coach: George Rivera (1st season).
Key returnees: Sr. C Bryan Harper, Sr. LF Kevin Kersey, Sr. P/IB Andrew Fogarty, Sr. SS Phil Jenkins, Jr. P/1B Willie Rios, Jr. CF Anthony Malchiodi, Jr. Rich Falvey.
Top newcomers: So. C/3B Aaron Michaud, So. P/2B Ian Li, Fr. 3B James Foti.
Outlook: St. Bernard, 16-8 last year with a trip to the Class S quarterfinals, lacks varsity experience this season, although Rivera said things are looking better every day. What the Saints do have is pitching, including Rios, a left-hander who earlier this year committed to play for the University of Maryland after striking out 169 over his first two seasons. Harper and Rios captain the team, which tied for the Small Division title in 2012 with Lyman Memorial.
Coach: Carlos Flores (3rd season).
Key returnees: Sr. P/C Drew Pelland, Sr. P/IF Zach Willis, Sr. P/IF Carl Willis, So. P Brian Cespedes.
Top newcomers: Fr. 1B Eli Rosario, Fr. SS Ariel Encarnacion, Fr. 2B Bryan Kimball.
Outlook: Grasso Tech's goal is to return to the state tournament and make some noise in its conference tournament. Flores is expecting a big year from Pelland behind the plate and Cespedes on the mound.
Coach: Randy St. Germain (10th season).
Key returnees: Sr. P/IF Slater Gregory, Sr. C Mike Mann, Sr. P Erik Nicholson, Jr. IF Bill Buscetto, Jr. OF Dave Peck, Jr. OF/C Phil Cohen, Jr. OF Trent Garbati, So. IF/P Matt Pryzbysz.
Top newcomers: Jr. IF/P Danny Chapman, Jr. IF Cole Turner, So. OF Ross Golewbieski, So. OF/IF Hunter Sheffield.
Outlook: Old Lyme (14-8) reached both the Shoreline Conference and Class S state tournaments a year ago, but hopes to advance farther in both this season, St. Germain said.
Coach: Scott Hockford (13th season).
Key returnees: Sr. P/C/1B Drew Watson, Sr. P/2B Parker Douglas, Sr. P/IF Aaron Hosking, Jr. OF Andrew Meagher, Jr. IF/C Nick Smith, Jr. IF/OF Ben Lahm, C/IF Jake Parizo.
Outlook: Hosking, Smith and Lahm are the top three pitchers while Watson returns at catcher. With seven seniors and three juniors, it is time for the Blues to consistently perform and attempt to win the CISAC and SENE championships.

There's good news for tackle football fans, as the NFL and the referees' union have reached a tentative deal, and tonight's game will be officiated by professionals, rather than the well-meaning but frightfully incompetent replacement refs. This might have impacted last week's outcomes if it had happened in time for those games, but either way, the number of crazy upsets make this an interesting season to have challenged folks to pick games. This is evidenced by Creston and Jivaro tying for best record for the week at 8-8 (imagine if we were using the point spread!), while Mag and I were 7-9, and Cutter followed two weeks of dominance with a disastrous 4-12. Here are my pre-caffeinated picks for this week: Ravens, Falcons, Patriots, Lions, Texans, Chiefs, 49ers, Seahawks, Cardinals, Broncos, Bengals, Packers, Bucs, Giants, Cowboys.

The behemoth is back: In the not-too-distant future, Samsung will release the second iteration of its peculiar giant, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. With an even larger screen than the first version, the Note 2 offers impressive hardware, an updated S-Pen stylus, new photo features, and Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). We recently had a chance to go hands-on with the global version of the Note 2. (The U.S. version is still being tweaked, we're told). Here's what we found.
Check out our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
In the hands
We won't lie — when the Note first debuted early this year, we couldn't get over its cartoonish size. (See Galaxy Note review.) So when we heard that the Note 2 would have a larger screen than the original Note (5.5 inches compare to 5.3 inches), we expected to have the same reaction. But for some reason, the Note 2 just didn't seem as ridiculous as we thought it would. Samsung's reps told us that many people had the same first reaction to the original Note, but eventually "got it" after using the device for a short time. Surprising to us, we fell into this camp. Yes, the Note 2 looked hilariously gigantic when we first picked it up. By the end of our hour-long session with the device, however, it felt quite normal in the hand.
That said, it is still too big for a phone. We weren't able to place any actual calls on our tester handset, but just holding it like a phone felt, well, dumb. Still, we doubt many people will buy the Note 2 primarily for its call-making functionality (as if anyone buys a smartphone to use just as a phone). But those who do plan on making many calls would do well to buy a headset — that's the only respectable way to use this device as a phone.
Where the Note 2 shines is as a mini tablet. While the extra-thin bezels on the Note 2 mean your fingers will edge onto the screen when holding it in portrait mode, we found this orientation to be the most natural for general use.
Aside from its massive screen, the Note 2 otherwise feels like any other high-end Samsung smartphone. It's fairly light and quite thin (9.4mm, just slightly thicker than an iPhone 4S).
S-Pen updates
The Note 2 is all about the S-Pen, Samsung's euphemistic name for its stylus. And Samsung has added some nifty updates to make the S-Pen even more integral to the Note 2 experience. First up, the device now automatically goes into 'S-Pen mode' after you've pulled the S-Pen from its holder slot at the bottom of the device. And, once you're done using the S-Pen, the Note 2 will now sound an alarm anytime the S-Pen is out of range, signaling you to go back and put it back in its holder — a simple but extremely useful feature, if you're the forgetful type. (You'll also be able to buy replacement S-Pens, but Samsung wasn't able to provide pricing details on that just yet.)
S-Pen: The S-Pen itself has been redesigned to be slightly longer and slightly thicker than the S-Pen that came with the Note 2. And we have to say, the changes are nice — it really does feel comfortable in the hand. The tip of the new S-Pen has a new rubbery feel to it that Samsung says is supposed to make using it feel more like "pen on paper." We wouldn't go quite that far, but it does feel surprisingly natural to write with the device — nothing like those useless signature pads on self-service credit card machines.
S-Note: The new S-Note app is the centerpiece of Samsung's S-Pen offerings. S-Note allows you to perform a wide range of tasks, from making meeting reminders to drawing plans for a new house. You can import pictures, and output S Notes as PDFs. S-Notes can also be sent to other Note 2 devices (but only the Note 2) using Samsung's S-Beam NFC functionality. We only had a few moments to fiddle around with S-Note, so we didn't get to grasp its full functionality. But given that we see many business people using the Note 2 as a mobile office, the S-Note is sure to be a hit app.
Hover: Unlike the Note 1, the Note 2's "hover" mode shows a dot on the screen that acts much like the cursor over the mouse. But it's not just for looks. For example, in the Media Player, hovering over the thumbnail of a video will show a brief gif-like preview of the video, something Samsung calls "Air View." Open the video, and you can over over the timeline of the video to see a thumbnail of that part of the vide (much like Web video players do). Simply tap the thumbnail with the S-Pen, and the video automatically jumps to that part of the video.
The Note 2 also features the pop-up video window that you can view on the home screen, a feature that made its debut in the Samsung Galaxy S 3.
Hover features also make their way into productivity apps, like email and calendar. With the S-Pen, you can scroll up and down an email just by hovering at the top or bottom of the screen, respectively. And some of the pop-up functionality found in the photo and video apps are also available here. (We were running out of time and couldn't go to crazy with testing these out, so you'll have to wait for our full review for us to get into the nitty gritty of this functionality).
Overall, the S-Pen worked better than expected. The first version was good. The new one is better, more responsive, and less awkward to use.
Camera & photo
One of the most impressive new features of the Note 2 is its photo functionalities. The Burst Photo mode will now pick out the "best" photo after taking a bunch of photos in succession. That was neat. But the really flippin' cool feature is the new Best Group Pose. This feature allows you to take a few group shots at a time, then go back and replace everyone's face till you have the best-looking shot possible. No more having to re-take pictures because one guy keeps closing his eyes, yawning, or looking like someone just murdered his kitten. While we usually shy away from gimmicky features like this, Best Group Pose was genuinely impressive. Well done, Samsung.
Of course, the S-Pen makes its way into the photo functionality as well. Samsung has updated the photo album feature to allow you to select a number of photos at once, then tap on a single selected photo, and drag all the photos at once into a pre-made album folder. Also, in the gallery view, you can use the S-Pen to hover over a gallery and see a sampling of pictures inside.
We weren't able to take our test unit outside, so the only photos we were able to snap were in a fairly dark room. Still, the 8-megapixel rear camera performed well enough, though the pictures were nothing to write home about. The Note 2 also includes a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat, which we tested out briefly. It works! Moving along…
Specs and use
As mentioned, the hardware specs for the Note 2 are about as solid as you can get. They are as follows:
- 5.5-inch screen
- 16:9 aspect ratio (which is much improved over the weird shape of the Note 1)
- 720p Super AMOLED Plus screen
- Samsung Exynos 1.6GHz CPU (which Samsung says is 20 percent faster than any other phones)
- 3100mAh Battery (25 percent bigger than the original Note, and gives you a "day's worth" of talk time, according to Samsung)
- 16/32/64 GB storage
- Two colors (marble white, titanium grey)
Samsung was quick to point out the units we tested were not 100 percent complete, and it showed. We tried out a number of different units, and each one experienced a glitch at some point in our use. However, when that wasn't happening (and, to be fair, it wasn't a huge problem), the phone ran fantastically well — as smooth as could be. Videos played well. Apps opened and closed with ease. And all the S-Pen functionalities were spot on.
We didn't get to see any third-party apps for the Note 2, but Samsung assures us that there are about 50 apps that are specifically made for use with the S-Pen. And the company is currently courting "select" developers to make apps for the device. (Photoshop Touch was the one they mentioned.) Still, we'd really like to more of the apps available before calling this one a homerun.
Odds & Ends
One of the new, random features added to the Note 2 is Samsung's Web Everywhere functionality, which allows you to view a snapshot of a website just by click on a link (in an email, for instance). Samsung smartly made Web Everywhere a feature that you can decide to use each time you click a link, or set up so that it always (or never) happens. This was definitely interesting, and good for people who get sent random links on a regular basis, but we have a feeling we'd set this one to "off," despite its potential usefulness.
The Note 2 is a clear improvement over the Note 1, both in feel and functionality — though it's hard for us to say whether the Note 2 itself is that much better, or if we've just become used to the massive form factor. The S-Pen and photo apps are easily the stars of the show, as is the Note 2's smooth running functionality. All said, we're excited to get a bit more time with this device, so we can decide whether we were simply in an optimistic mood when we had our first go.

For the first time in 13 years, a Durango High School student has won the Boettcher Foundation Scholarship.
Katelyn Dudley, a senior at DHS, is one of just 40 students in Colorado to receive the scholarship, which will provide her with a full ride or tuition plus living expenses, including fees, a book allowance and a stipend for her first two years at any four-year Colorado college.
Dudley will attend the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The scholarship is good for eight semesters as long as Dudley maintains a GPA of at least 3.0.
Though top-tier college athletics programs routinely use full-ride scholarships to lure prospective athletic talents, the Boettcher Foundation is unusual as its largesse is calculated to keep homegrown academic rock stars in state.
Just to apply for the scholarship, students must be in the top 5 percent of their class and have a combined score of at least 1200 on the critical reading and math sections of the SAT or a score of at least 27 on the ACT.
Dan Garner, an English teacher at DHS who invited Dudley to apply for the Boettcher scholarship, said these technical minimum standards, in effect, drastically understated the standardized test performance of students who actually won the scholarship.
Dudley got a perfect score on her ACT.
Garner said she also won a state championship as a member of the DHS Academic Decathlon team, two international championships as a member of the DHS Aerospace Design team (she won top individual honors twice at the World Design Finals in leadership and speaking), worked as an educational outreach intern at Durango Discovery Museum and founded Durango Yarn Demons (a club that knits hats for newborns).
Dudley enjoys a plethora of other activities, including ballet, dance and church activities, Garner said.
In a news release, the Boettcher Foundations scholarship program director, Katy Craig, said about 1,300 students apply for the scholarship annually, but only 40 ultimately win it.
Katelyn really stood out for us with her accomplishments both in and out of the classroom, Craig said.
We are incredibly proud of Katies accomplishments, and we wish her great success in the engineering honors program at CU Boulder, DHS Principal Leanne Garcia wrote in an email.
Dudley wants to be a rocket scientist.

Blair Walsh and RG3

Wilson is more exciting for my money. THis is kind of like saying who is more exciting between Ichiro and A-Rod. A-rod is the better player and hits a lot of home runs, but Ichiro is so unique, so annoying for his opponents, and every game will make plays that make you say "lolwut?" to beat guys. Ichiro was a lot more exciting to watch than A-Rod, even though A-Rod was statistically the more valuable player.
I think RG3's big strength is his persona. He's not just an elite QB- he could probably make it in Hollywood if he wanted to. Very natural charm- reminds me of Andre Benjamin.

Joey Logano earned his second-straight NASCAR Nationwide Series victory at Dover International Speedway on Saturday by winning the OneMain Financial 200.
Joey Logano took the lead for a second time after Lap 50 at the OneMain Financial 200 in Dover on Saturday and never looked back.
The 22-year-old driver of the No. 18 SportsClips Toyota went on to win his seventh Nationwide Series race of 2012, after leading the race for a total of 184 laps.
It was his second-career win at Dover International Speedway, and follows his first win here in June.
"I told [crew chief] Adam [Stevens] that my monster trophy from last time was lonely and needed a friend, so I'm glad I was able to get one for him," he said after the race. "This is my favorite race track so I feel like I have a pretty good point of view about what I have to do."
Logano will race in the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota in 43rd annual AAA 400 in Dover on Sunday, but Saturday's race was the last for the SportsClips car this year.
Saturday's race started with Darrell Wallace Jr. (20) in his first pole position in four NASCAR Nationwide Series races, after finishing with a qualifying lap of 23.091 seconds.
He became the first African-American to win the pole in the Nationwide Series and the youngest driver to win a pole in the series at Dover.
The 18-year-old wasn't able to hold the lead for long, however,
Justin Allgaier (31), who started the race in second, jumped out to take the lead in the first lap and held it until Lap 14, when Logano took his first lead of the day.
Logano managed to stay in front for the next 34 laps, only to cede the top spot to Kasey Kahne (38) for three laps before regaining the advantage at Lap 51 immediately following a caution flag.
No driver was able to overtake him from there.
"There was a little cat-and-mouse play going on there for sure" Logano said. "Sometimes, [Kahne] would be fast and I would wonder if he was saving his stuff hoping there was a caution. Then we were both doing that kind of back and forth. It was definitely fun and exciting."
By the midway point, Logano was leading Allgaier by 1.732 seconds, followed by Kahne, who was 2.128 seconds behind.
A second caution flag came out in Lap 117 after smoke began pouring from the tires of Jeremy Clements (51) Chevrolet, who was trailing in 30th place.
Following the caution, Sam Hornish (12) managed to edge out Kahne for third place, but neither he nor Allgaier were able to gain an edge over Logano.
Allgaier was forced into the pit around Lap 141 after experiencing trouble with his left rear wheel, allowing Hornish to move into second and Kahne into third.
They held those positions through Lap 166 when Hornish headed into pit row with flat tire, leaving Kahne and Austin Dillon (3) to chase Logano.
"Stuff happens," said Hornish, who finished 18th. "It's a shame. I'm not sure if we would have caught [Logano] or not, but we were closing in on him."
A puff of smoke blew out of Tim Andrews (39) Mustang, bringing out the third caution flag of the race at Lap 178.
Six laps later, Kahne's car appeared to fail him as he dropped deep into the standings, while Dillon also struggled.
That left Paul Menard (33) in second and Michael Annett (43) in third, while Nationwide Series' point leader Elliott Sadler (2) finished fourth.
Sadler now leads by 9 points in the standings over Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (6), who finished ninth in Dover on Saturday.

Friday, January 11, 2013 - Filip and Petr - SCREEN TEST - FULL CONTACT
Filip and Petr - SCREEN TEST - FULL CONTACT
Filip Pendrak is a newcomer who did a wonderful solo shoot. We were keen to try him out in duos, so paired him with Petr Kluk for this screentest. He certainly seems up for it, as his cock seem to be hard right from the outset, as we can see through his underwear. After being interviewed by Petr Filip leans over and starts kissing him. As they kiss Petr is rubbing a hand on Filip's thigh and then moves down to kiss his chest. That cock seems to be getting even hard in Filips undies, and Petr quickly pulls the underwear down to bring it into view. His head dips down and he begins to lick at that rock hard cock and then his mouth engulfs it as he begins to suck. Petr's own cock seems to be hard too as his mouth works over Filips. He really does a great job sucking it, and then pulls Filips underwear off completely, so we get a better view. He returns to his sucking and frees his own cock so he can wank himself at the same time. Then it is Filip's turn to suck cock, for the first time. He pulls Petr's underwear off and gets to work on that cock. He does it with some gusto, really going down on it well, and wanking it as well. Then he kisses Petr again and they move to a 69. Filip's mouth works well on Filips big, hard cock. For a novice he is doing very well indeed. Petr wants to go to the next stage and moves Filip onto his knees, with his ass exposed. With the hole exposed Petr rims it, his tongue licking into the crack on onto the pucker. Filip takes that very well so it is time to go further. Petr has Filip on his side and slides his throbbing cock into that tight hole. Filip certainly feels it as his ass takes its first cock, but he keeps with it and that dick goes in all the way. Then Petr starts his fucking and with some deep breaths Filip soon gets used to it. He takes it well and moves into a new position so that he can ride his ass up and down on that cock. As he rides on that cock Filip's dick is rock hard and Petr wanks it. He has quickly got used to beign fucked and changes position again, into missionary. Petr's cock really opens taht hole well, fucking nice and hard. Filip wanks himself hard and fast as he gets fucked and soon shoots a massive load while Petr's dick is deep inside him. Petr nees to cum as well and positions himself to shoot over Filip's face. Filip opens his mouth, wanting to catch as much of the cum in his mouth as he can. Then he sucks on that cock to drain it completely. What a great screentest, Filip certainly proved himself a very good debutant, passing his test very well.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Jan Sadecky has arranged for Zdenek Berdak to give him a massage. He lays down and waits for Zdenek to arrive. Zdenek arrives and gets right to work, using some oil as he massages Jan's back. Then he works down the legs and feet as well. Next he removes Jan's underwear, revealing a nice bubble butt which he gets to work on . His hands manipulate the ass and go down between his legs. When the ass has been massaged nice and deep Jan is turned over and we see that his cock is rather hard. Jan runs his hands over Jan's chest and then begins to feel his cock and balls. He quickly bends forward and takes the big, hard cock into his mouth and starts to suck it. Jan responds by placing his hand on Zdenek's head, pushing it down onto his cock. Zdenek really sucks good on that cock and then, removing his underwear he moves up to Jan's head and presents his cock for sucking too. Jan's mouth sucks at Zdenek's balls and then slides over the cock head. He sucks on that hard cock for a while. Zdenek then turns around and sits his ass down on Jan's face,so he can rim that hot hole. Jan loves that hole and soon has Zdenek on his knees as he slides a dildo into it. His own cock stays hard as he plays with Zdenek's ass and wanks his dick. Then Jan removes the dildo and climbs up, sliding his big, throbbing cock into that eager hole. His cock really plows into Zdenek's ass, hard and deep. Then Jan lays down again so that Zdenek can sit on that big cock and ride it. His ass really fucks itself onto that massive dick, sliding all over it, taking it nice and deep. Then the guys move to missionary position, with Jan plowing into that ass all the way. Zdenek is wanking his own throbbing cock as his ass is pounded. He moans as he wanks and takes that big dick until he shoots his cum over his leg. Jan is fucking faster and faster then, pulling out he creams all over Zdneek's ass. Leaning forward he kisses Zdenek to bring a really excellent scene to an end.

Maybe in Prague we'll have a little taste of winter after all. This morning there was moderate snow in the hills and this afternoon we have snow flurries here in the valley. Maybe by tomorrow the ground will be covered by snow.
A fabulous screentest, with Filip Pendrak and Petr Kluk leads off today. That is followed by a wonderful soft duo with Michael Maskaloz and Daniel Sebesta. Then we have Gustav Spanel's Session stills and finish off with a backstage video of Wank Party 2012 #10.
Three castings today, with Michal Patrik, Marek Vokoun and Vaclav Somr. Michal is a returning model and still looks very good, so he will be my pick of today.
