Anal Acrobats review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 03/30/2016
A criticism of pornography often made by female friends of mine is that this form of sexual entertainment places an unreachable pinnacle of seductiveness and carnal power before women, an ideal to which they can't help but feel grossly inferior. Whether it's the heavy chests, perfectly round rumps, or seasoned cock-handling skills women feel they can't compete with is now irrelevant thanks to Anal Acrobats, an Evil Angel-operated site from director Jay Sin that aims to embarrass your anally timid lover with intense, even insane displays an rectal flexibility. With such unique performers as Proxy Paige, Penny Pax, Amber Rayne, and Bobbi Starr stretching their assholes to the limit, lowering themselves onto gigantic floor-mounted plugs while having their faces fist-fucked, and engaging in all kinds of anally-focused hetero and lesbian sex acts, Jay Sin has cobbled together an ass aficionado's wet dream. Costing $29.95-a-month to access and promising its members High Definition showcases of the most extreme anal endeavors in the porn world today and is not to be missed if your mind always ends up wandering up the asshole of that special someone.
Home to such depraved anal adventures as showcased in feature titles and series Anal Buffet, Pretty Sloppy, Pussy Acrobats, Cream Dreams, Lil' Gaping Lesbians, Gape Lovers, Deep Anal Abyss, and the flagship series Anal Acrobats. From whipped-cream-aided face-fucking to milky enemas, extreme anilingus, massive gapes and impossible prolapses, Anal Acrobats presents the weirdest and wildest butt business around.
It takes a brave (and flexible) woman to shoot for Jay Sin and his Anal Acrobats include some of porn's most adventurous and debauched babes: Chastity Lynn, Kristina Rose, Jada Stevens, AJ Applegate, Phoenix Marie, Lea Lexis, Jodi Taylor, Proxy Paige, and Bonnie Rotten have all self-fisted, farted a milkshake, or punched one another right in the sphincter. These women rarely prove messier, wilder, or more colorful than they do here.
With a 127-DVD archive already online, Anal Acrobats has plenty to offer eager ass-fans. Close to 500 scenes sit and vie for your attention, most of them now presented in 1080p HD streams and downloads, and accompanied by 1920px photo galleries (online and zipped), all shot with a bright, wacky, even cartoonish sense of fun.
Everyone who decides Anal Acrobats is worth a closer look can expect to pay only $14.95 for their first month's access, a discount proudly brought to you by Mr. Pink's! Not only does this bargain-rate deal provide you with full access to Anal Acrobats various ass-invading adventures, but also to around 50 extra sites also on the Evil Angel network.
So you like watching anal sex on screen. How about rimjobs, gaping, and rosebuds? If the more outrageous and physically demanding anal acts make you feel like up-chucking your breakfast you'll definitely find the milk enemas, creamed assholes, and ass-to-mouth activity too much to handle here.
Like most Evil Angel-distributed porn, Anal Acrobats content can be found elsewhere both online and in the real world. On retail shelves as well as virtual shelves (on such sites as Videobox), you can't exactly call Anal Acrobats an exclusive website with exclusive content, though it does hold some scenes unavailable elsewhere.
Pussy Acrobats gives the game away: Anal Acrobats is not entirely anally-focused. Aside from the labia-stretching and extreme pussy penetrations in the aforementioned DVD series, there's plenty of oral and vaginal action here, even if it's bookended with anal attention.
Anal Acrobats isn't the most active of Evil Angel sites. The last DVD added to the archive landed in September of 2015 and though there have been four individual scenes added since then, that's not exactly a significant update program, is it? Yo, Jay Sin, can we please have some more of this awesome anal extravagance?
Anal Acrobats might not be updating as often as it once was, nor as often as some other Evil Angel network sites, but there's a nearly-500-scene here nonetheless, presenting all kinds of utterly insane anal adventures. From Bonnie Rotten to the usually off-limits asshole of Madison Ivy, everyone appearing here throws their rear passage into the fray and engages in what is arguably some of the weirdest, most cartoonish, yet strangely romantic porn currently being created. High Definition videos capture every farting whipped cream eruption, every dual-fisting DP session, every invasive rimming, every pounded asshole now prolapsed and poked, prodded, and licked in crystal clear quality. (Although some sights you unfortunately can't un-see.) Anal Acrobats definitely won't suit everyone, not even all anal devotees, but its offerings are truly unique, absolutely outrageous, and very high quality. Throw in access to the extended Evil Angel network and, really, any porn-loving sexual deviant should have Anal Acrobats on his or her to-do list.

Estrada do Sol
If You Knew
Big Smile
Here Lies Love
By The Round Pond
S.A.D Song
O Circo Místico
How Can I Be Sure?
Hi Lili Hi Lo
A new departure of originals and arrangements with Spanish and Brazilian classical guitar styles as well as influences from the likes of Rufus and Martha Wainwright, The Divine Comedy, Jeff Buckley and her background in jazz.Kazs original compositions showcase her conversational, often humorous lyrics coupled with an unaffected delivery and accomplished guitar playing, complemented by the sensitive and uncluttered support of the band.Different Smile also features the Brazilian gems Estrada do Sol and O Circo Mistico, inspired by Kazs good friend and coach Ife Tolentino; a musical setting to British poet Wendy Copes By The Round Pond; an unusual take on the classic How Can I Be Sure? as well as the rarely heard If You Knew by Nina Simone which was originally inspired by a Jeff Buckley recording.Featuring:Kaz Simmons (vocals + guitar), Sam Crockatt (tenor sax), Ivo Neame (keys), Simon Thorpe (bass), Dave Smith (drums) + Ife Tolentino (percussion, track 2).
SOUNDING a tad like Lily Allen doing jazz, but with oodles more class, Kaz Simmons is the sophisticated modern songstress you must seek out this year.Years living in jazz-loving Greenwich have nurtured a flair for traditional-sounding blues and soothing soul in the Goldsmiths-trained musician, who updates the sound with quirky lyrics and arrangements.It is unsurprising walks through Greenwich Park inspired some of the music here. Like its muse, the songs on Kaz's second record, Different Smile, are bright, romantic and beautiful.Her relaxed yet graceful voice - sounds almost as if she is chatting but perfectly in tune - is complemented sweetly and simply by a accomplished band. This and a few Zero 7-esque melodies result in a very easy on the ear, blissful brand of jazz.With massive potential for popularity, jazz could well have found the crossover artist it's been waiting for; achieving what Rufus Wainwright - a clear Kaz influence - did for classical.Tributes are paid on this record to thoughtful artists, such as Wainwright, who wanted their music to resonate on a deeper level. There's a cover of Nina Simone's If You Knew (in turn, inspired by a Jeff Buckley recording) and Wendy Cope's poem By the Round Pond is put to music.Hurry and allow yourself to melt into the loveliness of this promising talent.
Take a brace of Brazilian classics, add a quirky setting of poet Wendy Cope's 'By The Round Pond', three impressive originals, a little-known but rather beautiful Nina Simone tune ('If You Knew'), and searching interpretations of three evergreens ('Here Lies Love', 'How Can I Be Sure?' and and otherworldly 'Hi Lili Hi Lo') and the result, for your delectation is Kaz Simmons' impressive second album 'Different Smile'. Anyone who got to hear the singer's debut 'Take Me Home' will already know what a fine arranger she is, and the follow-up will undoubtedly bolster her burgeoning reputation. From the folksy lyricism of the 5/4 opener 'Mantra' to the Nick Drake-like wistfulness of 'S.A.D Song', one of the most attractive features of her songwriting is its refusal to be corralled into well-worn, stereotypical forms, the latter tune in particular taking an unusual, circuitous route to its final destination. Tom Jobim and Dolores Duran's gorgeous 'Estrada do Sol' is given a spectacularly successful, lovingly idiomatic reading. Driven along by Ife Tolentino's crisply articulated percussion and a sultry sax break from Sam Crockatt, the sextet makes as celebratory and sun-kissed a sound as you could wish for.
Different Smile is a glorious buffet for the ear. Kaz Simmons hypnotic voice is deliciously infectious. Her arrangements eagerly explore form and meter. This work comes hot out of the creative, sonic bakery. Listen to the unique sounds of her writing, use of spaces, and lyrical storytelling. Refreshingly uncommon and delightfully captivating.Demonstrating growing artistry, all songs are either written or arranged by Ms. Simmons and are woven to incorporate her talented music mates. Fearless to the prospect of outside criticism, Different Smile cuts a new path departing from her 2005 debut release Take Me Home. Exit the Jazz Standards. Enter waves of fresh writing, arranging and expression.Some Specifics. Mantra, an original composition, kicks off the recording with a 5/4 meter floating over light and subtle cymbal patterns by Dave Smith on Drums. The lyrics seem to plead for an affirmation in the midst of an emotional storm, that all will work in the end. Strength can come out of periods of turmoil. A beautiful interpretation of a Carlos Antonio Jobims composition follows. Start off with a storm brewing on the coast of the sea. The clouds quickly burn away and the journey on the Estrada Do Sol (Road to the Sun) begins. As the arrangement develops it is clear this road has many paths, masterfully explored through improvisation by Ivo Neame (piano) and Sam Crockatt (tenor sax).Whenever a singer grabs a song done by Nina Simone, inherent danger lurks. The unique sound and emotional power of Ms Simone music left an indelible mark on any song she touched. Trying to replicate requires a delicate balance of respect to the history and of an eye to the modern. The interpretation of If You Knew is well arranged and performed. A well calculated risk.How Can I Be Sure? supports an overriding project theme which contains songs of uncertainty and speculation in the storyline. Once this tune is turned over to the supporting ensemble, Ms. Simmons can rest assured she is in good hands. Deft Fender Rhodes work by Ivo Neame, brief but tasteful note dustings by Sam Crockatts saxophone, earthy and dark percussive expression by Dave Smiths locks down the all the certainty this writer needs to be sure that this recording is worth a serious listen. There is much more for the listener to explore so check it out. Different Smile delivers an intriguing second chapter to Ms. Simmons' accelerating musical journey.These are my comments. I welcome yours. Reach me at email@example.com
Goldsmiths graduate Kaz is a jazz-based singer/guitarist/writer who has issued a 10 track album of thoughtful, reflective songs. The atmospheric guitar, bass and percussion of 'Mantra' pulls you into a world of sensual contemplation and seductive dynamics. Particularly sweet are the occasional touches of vocal harmony which blend with the South American stylings on display throughout. The piano of Ivo Neame and the tenor sax of Sam Crockatt hit home during Carlos-Jobim and Dolores Duran's 'Estrada Do Sol'. Kaz is clearly able to call on a wide palette of musical colours and with her undoubted skill, a shining future for her is assured.
"Smart, sophisticated music; very beautiful, and meticulously crafted. But always maintaining a loose, improvisational feeling; interesting and surprising details appearing all the time. Her lyrics are very good, too; wry and sweetly dark at the centre"
Very much a personal effort Kaz Simmons wrote three tracks, arranged or co-arranged all the remaining seven, produced the album and sings and plays guitar on it Different Smile taps into the current vogue for confessionally intimate, jazz/folk-tinged music, but also contains an affecting visit to Nina Simone's 'If You Knew' (inspired by Jeff Buckley's version) and two Brazilian pieces, utilising her ability to sing in Portuguese and capitalising on the presence of percussionist Ife Tolentino in her band. There's also an arrangement of a poem by Wendy Cope, plus three more familiar non-originals, but to all her material Simmons brings a graceful charm and insinuating ease that make the album simply melt in the ear, particularly since the band tenorman Sam Crockatt, keyboardist Ivo neame, bassist Simon Thorpe and drummer Dave Smith alongside Simmons and Tolentino manage to imbue the whole venture with appropriately subtle power. A worthy successor to her 33 Records debut, Take Me Home.
Its a beautiful record, beautifully performed and recorded

This year Luka dressed up as a Lion. He was really into character scaring everyone with a big roar. Thank goodness the weather behaved and he was able to wear this "warm" costume. You see, it isn't fall in Maputo. It is actually supposed to be pretty hot these days, but I guess we just got lucky.
This year's Halloween festivities started with a Halloween Cookie Party at our house on Friday, October 30th. Luka's closest friends came over and they all made delicious cookies in the shapes of ghosts, pumpkins, witches and moons. After that fun (it lasted about 20 minutes) they all played and showed off their costumes and ran around the house eating all the candy in sight (except Luka of course, he just had cheetos).
Here you can see Luka the Lion...
On Halloween we went to the American compound for a Trick or Treat extravaganza. This is Luka's 2nd Halloween with us, but it was the first time he actually sort of got into the Trick or Treating. He managed to say the words, but was a little scared by the mob of older kids running from house to house as if they were grabbing the last pieces of candy left on earth. We found a group of toddlers going door to door and Luka enjoyed that a little better.
Luka doesn't eat candy (not that i don't let him, he just doesn't like it), so going Trick or Treating with the Americans was mommy's master plan to score some real candy. You see you can't buy real candy in the store here...well, at least not the ones you are used to back home. My American friends can order Halloween candy in the mail...so I knew there would be some winners. I scored Skittles, Reese's, Starburst, Sweet Tarts, Tootsie Pops, Kit Kat....I think JJ and I will have to visit the dentist next week.
For more Halloween pictures click here. I didn't have my camera this year...thanks to my friends for sharing their photos.

Life in ancient Greece was quite different for men and women. Whilst men were expected to take an active part in the public life of their city, women were expected to lead a private life as wives and mothers. Their lives were centred on the home. Slavery was a central feature of life in Greece. Families of reasonable wealth would have slaves to carry out the household chores, to go shopping at the market and even to help bring up children.
However, daily life in Sparta was rather different from most other city-states. Here women led more active lives, as this would improve their physical strength and their ability to have healthy babies. Sparta also had slaves but these belonged to the city as a whole, rather than to individual families.
A lot of our information on daily life comes from pottery, and in particular from the scenes painted on pots to decorate them.

Series Sunday - A Southern Vampire Mystery
With the the last episode of season one of the HBO's TV show True Blood airing last night, based on the Sookie novels written by Charlaine Harris, I thought I would do a post on the popular series.
Ms. Harris has created an alternate reality to the human world where vampires are coming out into the public. Vampires want to integrate into society and have civil rights just like normal humans do. Unfortunately, like will all new things, people are unsure and hesitant. Vampires are facing much discrimination against their kind. Sookie Stackhouse narrates the books in first person. She is a sweet, southern girl who has always felt like an outsider because she can hear peoples thoughts. When she meets Bill, a vampire, she is absolutely amazed that his thoughts are blocked to her.
I have only read the first book in this series, Dead Until Dark. I thought it was pretty good. It took me a few chapters to warm up to Sookie, but once I got a good feel on the rhythm of the book, the story really took off for me. Do you need to read the books in order? Ms. Harris states that it is more fun to read them in order. Each book is designed to stand on its own, but the backstory has gotten extensive.
Series reading order:
1. Dead Until Dark
2. Living Dead in Dallas
3. Club Dead
4. Dead to the World
5. Fairy Dust (story in anthology Powers of Detection)
6. One-Word Answer (story in anthology Bite)
7. Dead as a Doornail
8. Definitely Dead
9. All Together Dead
10. Dracula Night (story in anthology Many Bloody Returns)
11. From Dead to Worse
12. Gift Wrap (story in anthology Wolfsbane and Mistletoe)
13. Dead and Gone
14. Dead in the Family

Unfortunately I'm anal retentive and have to read books in order.
I was going to read this series, but I watched a few episodes on HBO and just couldn't get into it. I like Vamps, but this just wasn't doing it for me. Maybe I'll try the books instead.
They're usually better anyway ;)
Have a great weekend!
Great blog as always.

Kris, I am going to start reading these books after I catch up with Kelley Armstrong's series.
Jenny Girl, Personnally I think that the TV show and the first book are very different. There are some similarities, like the main plot stays pretty much the same. There are more characters and more interactions with them in the TV show, than the book. I liked both and definitely plan on reading the rest of the books and watching the next season of True Blood.

Oh, good grief, I KNOW I'm beginning to sound like a nag about this, but I just have to jump in here.
I didn't get this series at first either. However, once I discovered the audio books and Johanna Parker's brilliant narration, I fell in love with Sookie and her Southern charm. Really, the setting and the Southern rhythm are like characters in the books and if you aren't feeling them, then you're missing half the book.

This is a great point Bev! I couldn't agree more about the rhythm of the book. That is just it. The book has an unusual rhythm and once you get used to it I found it rather charming.

Heading to southern Asia to gain enlightenment seems like the age-old Western cliché, and although it's clear Rob McHaffie understands the oft-commodified redundancy of such excursions, his new exhibition, Let's See How We Go, arose from an Asian expedition of his own.
Rob McHaffie took an Asialink residency during 2011 in Rimbun Dahan, Malaysia. Obviously inspired by the flora and fauna of the region, we see a new intensity in colour and vibrancy in the work. Blooming with luminosity, these oil paintings on linen capture a beauty and often calm joyousness eschewed by much of his previous work.
In these paintings, spiritual wisdom is granted to some and escapes others. Sculpting a framework for the characters in ceramic (ask the gallerist to show you the studies, which are also artworks), these become the references for the painted works, essentially loosening and sidestepping direct human references. The search for spirituality presents itself in varying forms. From a pair passively practicing Tai Chi in the limbs of a tree (Synchronized Dancer Holding Hearts), to youths having their picture taken with Jesus (Found Him), which reads like a fan image post on Facebook or Instagram.
Which God McHaffie is speaking to doesn't seem to matter, as it appears McHaffie understands they are all the same and we are eternally connected. Whether he considers the great artists to be divine must be considered, with several references to Matisse and Michelangelo in this series. He also cites Henri Rousseau and Chris Ofili as inspiration. In one painting, the artist appropriates a Matisse composition and even one of the master's women sits at morning tea alongside Muslims, Hindis, and even Buddha (Salamat Pagi (good morning Malaysia)). Light heartedly, Matisse appears again in Matisse practising his foxtrot, where as you may have assumed, we see Matisse shuffling his leather boots unaccompanied.
McHaffie makes comment without preaching. Feeding the monkey but the monkey has enough might be read as an allegory for the West's predilection for feeding its own ego. The already eating monkey is offered a fruit as he sits in a tree surrounded by the lush and bountiful vegetation that maintains him without want. This suggestive painting depicts the tourist in a foreign land, bringing our own ideals and forcing it upon the passive.
This exhibition has a touch of the Tim Johnson and the Jonathan Richman to it – the punk/hippie turmoil turning spiritual. It has the anxiety of watching one falling off the wagon. Though, where one would usually be wary of hypocrisy, McHaffie delivers an exuberant optimism and authentic hope for pure love. Even the title is unforceful.
McHaffie is making a deal with the Gods. We are not sure how the deal has been struck, but it appears that he has negotiated some enlightenment on the path of the polluted temple.

Emily Lakdawalla • July 20, 2005
With its mission at Tempel 1 over, the Deep Impact spacecraft has altered its course in order to allow a future mission at another comet.
A.J.S. Rayl • July 12, 2005
When Deep Impact crashed into the nucleus of Tempel 1 at 23,000 miles per hour on July 4, it sent a huge, bright cloud of stuff upward and outward from the comet, providing a spectacular image that is already assured a place in the space history books, and may well be seared into the brains of all those who watched the event.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 06, 2005
The team has just released a really pretty high-resolution view of Tempel 1 just 67 seconds after the impact.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 04, 2005
"Our cratering experiment went very very well," reported impact scientist Peter Schultz in what may have been the understatement of the weekend. A first look at early science results from the mission suggest that while some events unfolded according to scientists' predictions, Tempel 1 provided many enticing surprises as well.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 04, 2005
Here in Von Karman auditorium at JPL, as they get ready for the press conference, they are playing "Rock Around the Clock," by Bill Haley and His Comets. Very appropriate! The press panel is mostly familiar: Andy Danztler, Rick Grammier, Shyam Bhaskaran, Mike A'Hearn, and Pete Schultz.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 04, 2005
It looks like the European Space Agency was busy overnight -- lots of great Earth- and space- based images of the impact have been appearing on various websites.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 04, 2005
The Deep Impact mission seems to have produced an impact crash beyond the expectations, but not the hopes, of the science team.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 04, 2005
Live blog from the press room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as Deep Impact's Impactor meets its fate at the comet....
Emily Lakdawalla • July 03, 2005
I woke this morning to find a press release in my Inbox that said: "One hundred and seventy-one days into its 172-day journey to comet Tempel 1, NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft successfully released its impactor at 11:07 p.m. Saturday, Pacific Daylight Time," or 06:07 UTC.
Emily Lakdawalla • July 01, 2005
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft is set for its date with Comet Tempel 1. "We are going to hit a bullet with another bullet while watching from a third bullet," said Charles Elachi, the head of JPL.

I've totally got stuck with WDC.
Firstly, I'd like to remove this crappy Mionet software and get SSH and other stuff to the drive.
The problem is I've uploaded quite a bit of information to the Mybook with Mionet access and the files dissappear once I mount the drive without the Mionet.. :(
Can anyone help me out with this by telling whether it is possible to make the files "visible" on the drive once the mionet is uninstalled and "normal" access is configured?
Of course, it's possible to download the files and upload them again to the drive, however I don't have any space for it :(
Secodnly, WDC anywhere access did NOT make any sense as I was unable to see the files I've created locally from the Internet… yet the drive was accessible and I was ABLE to create/upload files. Can anyone comment on this?
The most important thing for me now is to make the existing storage data accessible when using "normal" sharing method!
Thanks in advance for everybody for help and support!

Jon Brookes, drummer with British indie band the Charlatans, has died at the age of 44 three years after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
The band said that founding member Brookes died peacefully in hospital with his family by his bedside.
He had been diagnosed with a brain tumour after he had a seizure and collapsed while on tour in Philidelphia in 2010.
After undergoing several operations and chemotherapy sessions, he relapsed in September 2012 and underwent further operations as recently as July.
He is survived by his wife, Debbie, and three daughters.
The band said: "Jon was a brilliant drummer, an inspiration, a founding member of the Charlatans, part of our family and a friend to everyone in and around the band. Losing someone who was always so full of life is a tragedy that will be shared by so many. Our thoughts are with Debbie and all of Jon's family.
"He was much loved by those who knew him and regarded as one of the finest drummers of his generation and will be dearly missed by all who knew him."
The Charlatans lead singer, Tim Burgess, paid tribute to Brookes via Twitter. He said: "Jon Brookes, my friend, our drummer and inspiration to so many, passed away this morning. We are torn apart. Love & thoughts to Jon's family."
The Charlatans formed in 1989 and had a total of 22 UK top 40 hits singles, including four top 10s.
The band have released 11 studio albums, three of them reaching No 1 on the album chart.
Founder member and keyboard player Rob Collins died in a road accident in 1996.

New Yorker, 112, now the oldest man in the world – thanks to eating a banana a day

Humans are one of the few creatures on this planet who have the capability of ignoring our basic survival instinct. We jump out of perfectly good airplanes, something that still sets off alarms in the most veteran skydivers.
We push ourselves to the edge of death and back with physical demands on our bodies that defy reason: ultramarathons in the desert, living in microgravity, setting the world record for holding one's breath under water. Continue reading

NEW YORK — An extremely humanlike robot made a public appearance today (June 15) here at the Global Futures 2045 International Congress, a futuristic conference focused on the technological singularity.
Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro, director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University, Japan, described some of his efforts to develop lifelike androids. But there were two Hiroshi Ishiguros onstage: the living, breathing one and a robotic lookalike. The bot's human resemblance was striking, even down to its tiny movements and blinking eyes.
If you like to play with the froth on your coffee, here's a challenge for you – could you make something as striking as these?
The rabbit, hippo and giraffe emerging from the coffee cups are the astonishing work of a barista in a Japanese cafe. Japanese latte artist Kazuki Yamamoto has taken coffee art to a higher level. While others may try swirling their flat images on foam, the 26-year-old specialises in building 3-D sculptures, some of them even climbing out of one cup and into another.

Oakland, CA – It was the latest NFL game ever scheduled but that didn't stop the Raiders from coming out and playing good football in Sunday's late game.
All the pieces were in place for the first time this season. Both the offense and defense did what they were suppose to do in Oakland's 27-17 win over the San Diego Chargers,
On the third play from scrimmage the Raiders Usama Young picked off Philip Rivers for a 25-yard return. That set up Terrelle Pryor's 44-yard touchdown to Rod Streater. Just two minutes into the game, Oakland set the tone early.
"I think today, team-wise, was more complete," said Charles Woodson. "I think if you look at the offense and being able to move the ball and keep us off the field, those things work together. But I think today, offense, defense, special teams, and a big play by Taiwan [Jones] getting down there and forcing the fumble on the return. If we can get all phases of the game to work together, we can get big wins like this."
Woodson was a huge part of tonight's victory, in the third quarter he recovered a fumble and returned it 25-yards for a touchdown. That play tied him with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper for the most defensive touchdowns of all-time.
It was also the Raiders first defensive touchdown this season. Oakland forced San Diego to turn the ball over countless times and Charles didn't stop there with his big plays. He and DJ Hayden both picked off Rivers in the Charger's final two drives to secure the Raider's win.
"He's [Charles Woodson] made a habit of doing that this his whole career," head coach Dennis Allen said. "A defensive score and an interception to seal the game. That's what we expect out of him. He's been a playmaker for us and he'll continue to be a playmaker for us."
Pryor continued to dominate early, he found Denarius Moore in the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown for the 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Oakland's defense was all over the Chargers, stifling them the entire first half.
They came close on 4th and goal in the second quarter but the Raiders defense stopped them short. Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 47-yard field goal to end the half with a 17-0 lead. This was the biggest lead for Oakland in the first half since 2002.
"You always practice and you always talk and preach that you want to start fast because it's a big impact," said Terrelle. "I thought third quarter we died down and Philip [Rivers] had their offense rolling and it was scary because when he's on, he's on. He caught fire and we had to keep punching back, we had to keep striking. I thought we started fast and then slowed down and that's not going to work in the NFL."
Rivers came out fighting in the second half, throwing for two touchdowns to cut the lead 24-17. But his three interceptions took a toll on the offense. Philip connected with Keenan Allen for an 11-yard touchdown that was reversed after replay showed Allen got one foot down inbounds.
San Diego kept fighting back, Rivers found both Allen and Danny Woodhead for two touchdowns to start the fourth quarter. While Oakland's offense slowed down, Pryor came up with a big play of his own by scrambling before hitting Brice Butler on a 20-yard pass on third-and-14. That set up Jankowski's 50-yard field goal to extend the Raiders lead to 27-17.
"We came out and we were outplayed in all three phases," Chargers head coach Mike McCoy said. "It's tough to go on the road and turn the ball over the way we did and win a game on the road against a good football team. Too many big plays."
Oakland played their best game of the season thus far. Many would think they should probably play their remainder games at 8:30. But the team and organization had no problem with moving their original time 1:25pm back to accommodate the Oakland A's in the playoffs. After the A's beat the Tigers on Saturday evening, it took 18 hours to convert the field back to football.
"We were playing a good football team and this is one of the occasions, you're under the lights, you're pretty much going to be tested," said Kevin Burnett. "We answered the test today and we just have to continue to build on it and know that we're a good football team. We need to play like this all the time."

You ever feel like you've done everything right and things just don't go your way on the scale?
I'm sure having one of those days!
I worked my program this week the way you are meant to. I tracked everything. I had blue dots 5 out of 7 days and I didn't even go near using all of my weeklies. I also had 49 fit points that I didn't eat.
I was SO excited to get under the next "decade" of pounds today. (I was only 0.6 lbs away!)
But then…
I stepped on the scale at my Weight Watchers meeting, and it said I GAINED .4 pounds!
I was SO ANNOYED. How could this happen? I was a model weight watcher this week! Looking back at my week, there is nothing that I would go back and do over. I even ordered naked tenders and a side salad at Buffalo Wild Wings, FFS!
My leader came over and chatted with me because she could see that I had an attitude. I told her what happened and talking to her really helped me to reframe my disappointment.
She told me to get my app out and look at my last few weeks. And then to look at my graph from the beginning. I was able to see a steady downtrend of the 11 pounds that I've lost since recommitting to Weight Watchers in October. I've had some gains over the holidays and with the stress and lack of routine in moving my family to a new state this month, I had a set back and gained seven pounds thanks to the convenience of Uber Eats.
Sidebar: if you haven't tried Uber Eats yet and want to, use code eats-paulad67 and you and I will both get $5 off. I don't recommend ordering from there almost every day for two weeks like I did, though….
The point that I'm trying to make here is that one week doesn't define my success. I know that I'm doing the right things to lose weight and improve myself and sometimes the scale is not going to reflect that.
Perhaps I had too much sodium yesterday. I've been doing 80 Day Obsession workouts and my muscles are SORE. They are probably holding on to a bit of extra water. Heck, maybe I just needed to go to the bathroom!
I've come a long way on this weight loss journey (gawd I hate when people call it their journey… but I don't know a better word to describe it!).
The photo on the right came across my Facebook memories feed yesterday from two years ago, so I did a side by side. I've lost 33 pounds since then! Do I have more to go? Yup. But am I PROUD of what I've accomplished thus far? You're damn right!
If you're feeling discouraged and not seeing the results you want, please don't quit! I know that I'm doing the right things for my body and if I continue to do these things, I WILL get to my goal. And you will, too! 🙂

Rondreis SINAI - Tour Master Class Visual Storytelling Sinai Desert
Join this very special master class visual storytelling in the Sinai Desert in Egypt. Accompanied by National Geographic photographer Frits Meyst. He will teach you all about storytelling techniques, while hiking with the Bedouins through the magnificant Egyptian desert.
Learn how to tell a story - by visual storyteller Frits Meyst
In 9 days, Frits Meyst will teach you the ins and outs of visual storytelling. You will learn about composition and light, and specifically about storytelling techniques: How do you tell a great story in pictures, text, video and audio.
Working on a community project during your trip
This tour is more than just a holiday. During your trip you will work on a real visual production. With that you help the local communities to learn how to tell their story. By actively engaging in a real production you will learn how a story comes together. You and the other participants will work together with Frits on the story about the Sinai Trail, a hiking trail through the desert of Egypt that connects several Bedouin tribes. Your production is a mix of photography, text, video and audio and the end result of your work will be published.
Itinerary in short
Day 1: arrival in Sharm el Sheikh
Day 1 & 2: Arrival in Sharm el Sheikh and the Sinai Desert
Today your plane arrives at the airport of Sharm el Sheikh. You can organise your own flight or we can book it for you. Most flights arrive in the night. We can organise your pick-up. You will stay in Sharks Bay Diving Village very near by the airport.
Day 2 - Coastal mountains and canyons
We leave the Gulf of Aqaba and walk into the rugged coastal mountains to Moiyet el Melha: a beautiful oasis which legend has it is protected by a ghoul. We'll continue through the beautiful sandy wadis of El Faria before crossing the high pass of Naqb el Kohla, where we can gaze back over the coastal mountains. Next along is the Coloured Canyon: a narrow, winding sandstone crevice, named after the reds, purples and yellows swirled into its rocks. After this, we'll take jeeps to our evening campsite.
Day 3 - Sandstone mountains, highlands and Bedouin families
Wake early and hike over an old camel pass to the foot of Jebel Mileihis: a rugged, sandstone mountain, which offers views out to the highlands of St Katherine and the Hejaz mountains of Saudi Arabia. We'll climb the mountain in the dark and photograph the sunrise over the desert from the top. After Jebel Mileihis we'll walk over an old pilgrim pass to the oasis of Ein Hudera, where several Bedouin families of the Muzeina tribe live.
Day 4 - Prehistoric ages, desert landscapes to st Katherine
We'll hike over a camel pass and meet our jeeps, to transfer to a cluster of prehistoric tombs known as the Nawamis. The tombs are around 6000 years old and their doorways all face west towards the setting sun. Afterwards we will continue into the beautiful sandstone deserts of the Sinai: a realm of sweeping desert plains, dunes and sandstone outcrops. When finished we will take taxis to St Katherine, the highest town in Egypt.
Day 5 - st Katherines Monastry
We will visit the Monastery of St Katherine and watch the annual Feast of St Katherine, when the monks make a procession around the monastery. You will have the afternoon free.
Day 6 - Discover the beautiful wadis around st Katherine
We will spend the afternoon hiking around the beautiful wadis of Wadi Shagg and Wadi Zawatin, in the high mountains around St Katherine. We will see beautiful old Bedouin orchards in which olive, pomegranate, apricot and other kinds of tree are grown, along with waterpools, dripping springs and high mountain passes. We will return to a Bedouin camp in the evening.
Day 7 - Climb mount Sinai - one of world's holiest mountains
We will hike up Mount Sinai - one of the world's holiest mountains - via a little known path which passes hidden chapels and hermit cells. We will climb peaks seldom visited before descending the mountain via the Steps of Repentance. In the evening we will transfer to the coastal town of Dahab, on the shores of the Gulf of Aqaba.
What does an average day look like?
We try work with the good light which means that we will hike mostly in the early hours of the day. The idea is to be at the scenic places at the best time of the day. This does mean that sometimes we will walk with a headlight in the dark, to be able to experience sunrise.
Photography and Hiking
The Sinai Trails is a hiking trail through the mountains of the Sinai Desert. While in the desert, we are always accompanied by well trained Bedouin guides. Luggage is transported by jeeps and camels, so we can move around easily with our day pack and camera's.
Master class experience level
This master class is meant for passionate amateur photographers, and starting professionals, Also bloggers or journalists and filmers who want to fine tune their visual storytelling skills are welcome. Are you passionate about photography, experiencing remote cultures, and the great outdoors, then this is the right challenge for you.
Physical condition
It would be good if you have hiking experience with a 10kg daypack , as we will be walking 3-5 hours a day through rocky mountains, with here and there some steeper climbs to get up to a spectacular viewpoint. A normal physical condition should be sufficient to participate.

What are Leading Edges? Protect Them with Guard Railings
Leading Edges: a regulatory term for a very real risk that every construction manager, laborer, or facilities maintenance worker understands too well. As a reminder, a leading edge is an unprotected edge and side of a floor, roof, or other walking/working surfaces which changes location as additional floor, roof, or formwork sections are placed. While a part of every job site (and theoretically, every building, period), they present a risk for even the most seasoned workers.
In this article, we're exploring the different types of leading edges your team might encounter, along with other considerations, and how safety guard rails can protect them.

Written by Love Heals
On this beautiful Easter day I felt compelled to write this proposal to all my dear friends from MST with whom I have shared so much profound love. It has been several years of healing for us all. In my process of healing I keep coming back to the reason I got involved with MST, maybe it is the reason we all got involved. We love the spirit of true Love and love to share that love with everyone in our community. We inherently know that love, kindness, generosity and hospitality should be normal for all people. We recognize that the only thing that makes sense is to experience the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth right now among each other. This was why it was such a contradiction and caused us so much internal tension when we witnessed our leaders judging or mocking our friends or treating people with derision.
You may say I am naive, especially considering what happened, but I do see and feel the tragedy of what occurred, perhaps more than most. Even so, I still believe more in true love and the ultimate outcome of sharing in a heavenly experience together regardless of the shame, fear and greed that ultimately drove Grant Clarke, Jane Clarke and Gregg Hake to take everything we collectively worked so hard for to themselves and their immediate family alone.
My proposal is to collectively forgive everyone, including them, not just to free our hearts, but that is a good reason, but also to open a doorway for ourselves to experience what we came together for in the first place.
I am not saying we all get together and set up a community and teach classes and have services or anything like that. However; perhaps we could get together with nothing else on our minds or in our hearts but joy and love for the spirit of love and see what happens.
We don't have to do it right now, but just be open to the possibility and if it is meant to be it will occur naturally and easily.
You might say how can I forgive them and if I can then what happened to you didn't happen to me so I don't have the same kind of pain. I have been reluctant to share my story because the pain of it was still too raw and I have children and didn't want them to be hurt anymore than they already were, but if in sharing a bit of my story, I can help any of you then I will.

What do you think is special about the PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences program here at the MGH Institute?
The Institute's PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences program offers almost limitless bounds of collaboration with multidisciplinary faculty, researchers, and clinicians.
Why did you choose to come to this program rather than a doctoral research program in your specific profession?
As a graduate from the MGH Institute's advanced Master in Physical Therapy and Clinical Doctorate programs in 2006 I had the opportunity to experience first hand the quality education and support as I progressed within my clinical career.
As a young faculty member of the Department of Physical Therapy I am well aware of the mentorship available throughout the Institute.
The program is one of few that focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration, which offers the great potential to advance research skills and conduct quality research.
What are your goals for the future after you graduate?
I hope to become an independent clinical investigator working in the field of geriatric rehabilitation sciences at an academic institution that has strong support for clinical research.
I would like to become a proficient and autonomous scientist in developing the most effective and efficacious physical therapy interventions that maximize function and mobility in the care of older adults with back disorders. In addition I hope to continue my faculty role in physical therapy academia.

Psicodelismo em estado bruto, caótica, insano, doentio, perigoso, sexy, doses cavalares de fuzz, distortions e chega né!!??! Chega nada, para os Dead Rabbits o perigo deve ser constante, vide o estrago feito nos dois eps Self Destruct e I Love You, amor e destruição caminham lado a lado, como bons seguidores de Spacemen 3 e Brian Jonestown Massacre a máxima não poderia ser diferente.
Diretamente da Flower Power Records, os Dead Rabbits são um convite a druggy trip sounds, além da autodestruição eminente, os Rabbits pegam a o garage blues do Chocolate Watch Band e colocam no caldeirão colorido e o cataclismo esta prestes a borbulhar, mas veja bolhas coloridas que ao estourarem em nossas mentes fica a sensação clara que não mais a sobriedade possa nos consumir.
Entorpeça-se e deixa os Dead Rabbits fazerem o restante, mas antes tente adentrar aos mundo dessas freaks através da psicodelica entrevista concedida ao TBTCI, have a good trip.
Q. When did Dead Rabbits start, tell us about the history...
A. We'd been playing together for a while, we had a lot of material recorded and ready to play live. Around a year ago we got our current line-up together and started playing under the name Dead Rabbits.
Q: Who are your influences?
A. Chocolate Watchband, Link Wray, Joy Division, The Beatles, Jesus & Mary Chain, Son House, Death In Vegas, Velvet Underground, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Stooges, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Spaceman 3, The Doors, 13th Floor Elevators.... etc
Q. Made a list of 5 albums of all time----
A. The Chocolate Watchband – The Inner Mystique
- Spiritualized – Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
- Brian Jonestown Massacre – Who Killed Sgt. Pepper
- The Velvet Underground – The Velvet Underground & Nico
- Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Q. How do you feel playing live?
A. Playing live is something we really enjoy doing, live shows give people a chance to really appreciate what we're doing. You can feed off an audience, if the crowd are getting into it, you can feel it, everything is enhanced
Q. How do you describe Dead Rabbits sounds?
A. People have described us as a lot of different things, we try not to pigeon hole ourselves. We never set out to make a song sound like something else, we just work on whatever we think sounds good. Between us, we're all into a lot of different music, I think you can tell that when you listen to us. If we had to be pigeon holed we'd probably go with shoegaze or space rock, its whatever you want it to be.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the sounds?
A. We've got no set way of doing things. Our style of recording changes almost every time we record; how do you know what's good unless you've tried everything. When it comes to writing songs we use recording a lot. If someone comes up with something they like, we'll record it and from there we can listen back and see what we can do. We'll always try a lot of different things and keep going with whatever works.
Q. Which new bands do you recommended?
A. Obviously Black Market Karma, being on F.P.R with them is great. We've been fortunate to see them a few times recently and they've been amazing. It's been good to see them gradually progress, their getting better all the time. As well as B.M.K there's loads of other new music I've like to mention but I'd be here forever, apologises.
Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?
A. Well, we've already recorded a few covers (Elvis Presley – Love Me Tender, Death In Vegas – Girls, The Doors – My Wild Love), recording covers is something we really enjoy doing, but it's also something we try to avoid doing too much. It doesn't always feel quite right playing someone else's music, the covers we've done before only came about naturally, there was never any real intention to go and record any covers.
Q: What´s the plans for future....
A. Keep making music, keep playing live, keep recording. Essentially we're a work in progress, we're on a journey somewhere, I don't know where but we'll all know when we're there, you'll know when we're there.
Q: Any parting words?
A. Listen to our music, come see us live. We've almost finished our acoustic EP 'No Rights', that will be released very soon. As well as that we've recorded five tracks for our 12" split with The KVB, we're looking forward to getting that released as well. Thanks to everyone who's been listening to our music, thanks to everyone that's been to our shows, keep on listening and tell the world what you heard.

Rumour: AMD "Carrizo" Desktop APUs Delayed, Kaveri Refresh To Fill The Gap
Ryan Martin / 6 years ago
We've heard a lot about AMD's Next-Generation desktop APU platform, codename Carrizo. Last year we heard that the expected arrival date was to be 2015, and up until now we thought this was still on-track especially when details about the A10-8890K APU were released that showed support for a new FM3 socket. New rumours suggest Carrizo may now be delayed for the desktop platform – although the reasons are not entirely clear. AMD will not release Carrizo desktop APUs until 2016 and instead they will refresh the Kaveri product stack to bring out the 5th generation of APUs based on that. Carrizo will still arrive in 2015 in its mobile form according to the source, but there's no sight of the desktop variant. That's strange given the roadmap below that leaked from AMD suggesting Carrizo was to be released in 2015.
If the rumour is true Carrizo could now be the 6th generation of AMD APU, not the 5th as that title might get taken by Kaveri refresh. That means like with the Trinity to Richland transition the new Kaveri Refresh parts will be based on virtually identical physical components except they will get speed bumps and some performance and power optimisations. From my perspective this seems like a prudent financial decision being made by AMD: they need another generation of Kaveri APUs to fully profit from all the R&D that went into Kaveri, it also buys them some more time to tweak and tune Carrizo to make that release as competent as possible.
Based on current rumours we think that AMD's Carrizo will bring a new socket to the table: possibly FM3 or FM3+, but will also retain backwards compatibility with FM2+. It should also introduce a new CPU architecture, possibly based on the Excavator design. It may bring DDR4 support too since DDR4 will be commercially viable from September 2014 when Intel introduces X99, Intel should also introduce DDR4 to its mainstream platforms next year. The other possibility is that Carrizo may opt for stacked-DRAM and DDR3 in order to keep costs down.

My Hero
I never met Arnold Palmer but I did watch him play in person one year at the GGO in
Greensboro, NC. Arnold was my hero when I was 8 years old. 56 years later he is still
my hero and always will be. He is the reason I started playing the great game of golf
which I still play regularly. I remember being very young and listening to the radio
all day trying to learn if he won the British Open. To my pleasure, I finally heard on
the radio that he did in fact win. I have followed his career all my life and I will miss
him very much even though I never met him. I love Arnold Palmer! He is the KING !
