Remember when they were darlings? Back in 2007, back as recently as January Boise State was a plush toy. Something cuddly and cute. A nice story, an even nicer coach.
As we bear down on the 2010 season, those darlings represent doomsday to some folks.
The most vocal group against Boise is a radical strain south of the Mason-Dixon Line in the SEC, where they will tell you football was invented. But they are not alone. Don't believe me? It's one thing beating Oklahoma with a Statue of Liberty (2007 Fiesta Bowl) or having the punter throw a fourth-down pass against TCU (2010 Fiesta Bowl).
That's entertainment. Bowls masquerading as glorified exhibitions. This time it's serious. Boise State could elbow its way into an actual national championship shot. Both polls have the Broncos in the top five (No. 3 in AP, No. 5 in coaches), marking the highest a non-BCS team has started in the BCS era.
Next stop Glendale, Ariz., and -- compared to other BCS participants -- the Broncos' obstacles aren't massive. Beat Virginia Tech in Monday's showdown at FedEx Field and Boise State could coast all the way to the national championship game. Lose and it doesn't matter. The Broncos could finish 11-1 but their shot at all-time glory most likely would be gone.
The prevailing emotions from college football's establishment are jealousy and indignation. Boise State was a junior college until 1965, the year Bear Bryant finished off back-to-back national championships. It didn't move up to I-A until 1996, the year The Ol' Ball Coach was scorching the SEC and the nation.
Here we go again with the sport's incredible short-sightedness and football bigotry. The likes of Michigan, Notre Dame and Texas have been good for 10 decades or more. What are Boise's credentials for this exclusive men's club? It has been good for the past 10 years, really good since 2006 and last year became the third team ever to win 14 games in a season. Their recruits don't show up on many national recruiting lists. Their quarterback (Kellen Moore) is a 6-foot, 187-pound Chicago Cub lover from rural Washington.

"There's a subculture in intercollegiate sports that is built on the power conferences," Boise State president Bob Kustra said, "with the media at the center of it. When there is a new kid on the block it's tough for them [to] understand and digest that."
Up to this point, the BCS has made Boise State a star. Without the access to the major bowls provided by the 12-year-old system, the Broncos most likely would be playing in some minor bowl as the WAC champion.
Its salvation, though, is also its curse. We have been reminded that this is a sport with few Cinderellas. Part of it is the nature of college football as pointed out by Kustra. At its core, it is still ruled by humans voting in polls. Teams are rewarded subjectively and, in the opinion of the current voters, Boise State has broken through to elite status.
Even in the middle of that rise to the top there are subtle reminders about who controls the sport. Boise has 19 of 22 starters returning from a 14-0 team and actually dropped a notch in the coaches poll. Alabama lost nine starters on defense and is a consensus No. 1.
There's no comparison between the two programs? Actually, there is. Ask Nick Saban if he would like to see Boise State on the floor of University of Phoenix Stadium.
The mere appearance of the Broncos in Glendale having a chance to beat the Tide for a national title will make certain SEC loyalists spit up their grits. While we celebrate Butler making a run to the Final Four, Boise State making a title run is seen as heresy.
Some of you will counter with basketball having a progressive bracket. The championship is decided on the court. True, to a point. But I get the feeling that if Boise State won, say, a four-team playoff it still wouldn't be considered legit.
The national angst is hard to quantify, but up in Idaho they feel it. Boise State plays in a conference on the brink. The WAC may survive after a raid from the Mountain West last week, but it will do so by inviting a couple of Division I-AA teams transitioning to I-A.
All a program can do is play the teams put in front of it. Boise State can't help that it plays in an admittedly weak WAC. It has countered by aggressively scheduling non-conference games. The result has been that most BCS schools have become reluctant to schedule the Broncos -- too dangerous.
AD Gene Bleymaier wants to introduce legislation compelling teams to return non-conference games on the road. It will never happen.
There's the ultimate conflict: If the Broncos are unworthy, then the competition is hypocritical for not playing them given the chance. The pollsters who have given them credibility in the preseason may face a tougher decision at the end of the season. If Boise State goes undefeated, how does that compare against an undefeated Big Ten champion or a one-loss SEC champion? With only two spots, one of those teams is going to be left out. I think we all know who it will be.
Don't we?
Five things WWL doesn't want to see
1. Alabama tailback Trent Richardson playing more than three quarters against San Jose State. The issue is not beating the Spartans, it's getting everybody through healthy for Penn State next week. Give Richardson 15 carries, let him get his 75 yards and get him out of there. If Mark Ingram can't go against the Nittany Lions, that's when Richardson will make the difference.
2. Michigan fans freaking out over a season-opening loss to Connecticut. This isn't Appalachian State (2007) or even Utah (2008). That 2007 team was coming off an 11-2 season. Utah beat a Michigan team coming off a 9-4 season. UConn is better than a mediocre Michigan on Saturday. Save your freak out for November when Michigan is 3-5, waiting for the NCAA to rule, and has to win three of the final four to go to a bowl.
3. Surprise at the awful crowd expected for TCU-Oregon State at Cowboys Stadium. Pregame sales have been called "shockingly low" in the 80,000-seat stadium. TCU fans don't routinely sell out their own stadium and this apparently was too long a trip for Beavers fans. One recent estimate stated that about 40,000 tickets have been sold.
4. Nebraska putting much stock in possibly the worst mismatch of Saturday. Western Kentucky has I-A's longest losing streak (20 games) and is a 37½-point underdog.
5. North Carolina going into the tank against LSU. The players -- at least those not under NCAA scrutiny -- deserve better. Let's hope Butch Davis doesn't have a bunch of distracted Tar Heels getting overrun by the Tigers.
Scoping the nation
From South Florida to West Lafayette: Robert Marve's first start for Miami was at Florida. His first start for Purdue will be Saturday at Notre Dame. Not a bad career until you consider what happened in between. Purdue's transfer quarterback was a Parade All-American out of Tampa, Fla., spending two at times turbulent years at Miami. After a redshirt year in '07 Marve started 11 games for the Hurricanes and was suspended twice in 2008. Thirteen months ago he tore his ACL.
"It's the happiest I've been," Marve said. "It's the best grades I've had [3.2 GPA]. My knee feels better."
When things went bad at Miami, Marve went searching for a friendly spread offense and a new setting. Restrictions set forth by Miami kept him from certain schools in the South, so he eventually wound up at Purdue.
"You're not at home, you don't have a curfew," Marve said of his two years in Coral Gables. "Everybody has fun. Reading a book might not be your first priority.
"I wanted a coach I could trust. ... I felt like Purdue was the best shot I had to get to a big-time bowl."
Marve still talks to some of his former Miami teammates (he mentioned receiver Leonard Hankerson). If the national focus is on Brian Kelly's debut, Marve's focus is on Notre Dame.
"I don't think I have to prove a lot," Marve said. "I've got to win games. I've got to be a quarterback and be a leader. I don't think I have to throw the ball 70 yards down the field to prove something.
"I can't wait. I feel blessed my first start was in The Swamp. Now it's Notre Dame."
Tempting fate? Oklahoma tailback DeMarco Murray might return kicks against Utah State. That's a big "might." Coach Bob Stoops is weighing the risk. The last time Murray returned a kick he ruptured his hamstring in the 2008 Big 12 Championship Game and missed the BCS title game against Florida. Oklahoma was fifth nationally in kickoff returns that year. Murray ranked 10th.
He is listed as the No. 1 returner on the depth chart and could beat out Joe Washington this season for the school record in career all-purpose yards.
Justice: There was a time when Aaron Corp ruled the world. That would be 2009, when he came out of spring practice as Southern California's starting quarterback. A leg injury a year ago allowed Matt Barkley to take the job during fall drills. Corp started one game for USC in '09, that fateful 16-13 loss at Washington. He is now on top of the world again -- the I-AA world. Corp has surfaced at Richmond (No. 6 in the preseason FCS poll), which opens the season against Virginia. The next week Virginia travels to USC, meaning the Trojans will be watching film of their former teammate. WWL knows this: Corp will have a better chance to win a national championship this season than Barkley.
BCS buster: Oregon State. It will have a direct influence on the national championship race with TCU (Saturday), Boise State and Oregon on its schedule. The Beavers could be responsible for knocking the Broncos out of the national championship picture, TCU out of a BCS bowl and Oregon out of the Rose Bowl. No pressure or anything, Beavs.
Looking for a leader: Michigan, Penn State and Notre Dame each could use an experienced quarterback going into the season. Look who has one: Connecticut's Zach Frazer is from Mechanicsburg, Pa., transferred from Notre Dame and will start against Michigan.
Sark the Cougar: Washington coach Steve Sarkisian returns "home" to BYU, where he led the Cougars' to a 14-1 season in 1996. About that honor code that forbids student from, among other things, consuming alcohol or having premarital sex. Sark?
"I didn't get kicked out," he said.
Well, actually it was more than that.
"I'm not a big shaver," Sarkisian said. "I'll go a couple days here without shaving. At BYU, you are not supposed to have facial hair. That one was tough for me. You'd go in to take a test and you'd go into the testing center and you are not cleanly shaven and then they kick you back out and tell you, 'You've got to go home and shave before you can come back again.'
Georgia coach Mark Richt on criticism about SEC nonconference schedules going into the Louisiana-Lafayette game: "Let me ask you this, who has won the last four national championships?"
Kickoff question: Who is the last team to beat Alabama at home? Answer below.
This space's favorite quote machine became Vanderbilt coach Robbie Caldwell this summer after his one-man show at the SEC media days. As a salute to college football's only former turkey inseminator we start a regular WWL feature with the Robbie Caldwell quote of the week:
"I told them I hope I don't fall running out with the team. I haven't run out with the team since high school."

Following the recent brouhaha over changes to Instagram's terms of service, the company is releasing an update to its iOS client today that adds a new filter (Mayfair), improved language support, and the usual gamut of performance improvements. Another thing version 3.4.0 includes is a new UI bug that makes private photos appear to be viewable by anyone — a sweeping change that would further inflame tensions between the company and its users if it were real.
The privacy setting in Instagram is managed with a slider — left for public, right for private. Users with private accounts will find that turning the app on after the update magically shifts that slider back to the left, making it look like everyone can access your images without your approval. Luckily, in our testing private accounts remain locked down, despite the UI weirdness. We've reached out to the people at Instagram, and will let you know what they say if we hear back.
Update: Instagram has informed us that they are aware of the issue, and confirmed that private accounts remain private despite the state of the slider. The company is actively working on a fix.
Update 2: The privacy issue has been resolved, according to Instagram. Visibility of your photos should now properly reflect the option you've chosen in settings.
Thanks, Dan Wolfe!

That means I gotta settle for "Gold n Cremes" instead of twinkies.

(well-deserved post is well-deserved)
Hopefully someone else will produce their products for them. Because I can't imagine a world without Twinkies.
Doesn't matter. Though their brand dies their Twinkies will live forever like they always have! xD
Twinkies are still going to be produced, probably. The company that owns the rights to them isn't bankrupt. It's just Hostess.
I agree with MDF. I heard (via ESPN radio, no less, so take that as you will) that they were looking to sell it.
What will likely happen is that some other company will buy it but still produce the same products. I don't think anyone buying Hostess will want to remove the name "Twinkies" from their repertoire. A rose by a different name would taste just as sweet, but it wouldn't sell as well.
So I'm betting that you'll still see all of your favorite Hostess snacks, but instead of seeing "Hostess," you might see another company's name in the corner. Perhaps you'll still see "Hostess." But they aren't getting rid of Twinkies.
So one of the hosts on my favorite radio station started a petition to nationalize twinkie production
I actually was coming back home for the week and heard this. Danny B is better known as Danny Boi, the co-host of Kansas City's 96.5 The Buzz (Alternative Rock) morning show. He's even made HuffPost.
I love my city.
Adios twinkie:
I honestly couldn't care less, particularly about Twinkies, which I hate, as well as every other Hostess product, just to a lesser extent.
Ill miss you Twinkies
Hostess may be over, be it will live forever in our hearts.
Seriously, your arteries must be full of cholesterol.
great now i can't eat wonder beard
Save this unhealthy delicious snack for future generations!
May the cholesterol live in the future…

There's major news this week from Europe involving government compensation for slavery survivors. Ireland has formally apologized for decades of slave labor inside laundries run by Catholic nuns.
The notorious facilities, known as the "Magdalene Laundries," have been described by ABC News as "virtual slave labor camps."
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny issued an apology Tuesday night to 10,000 women and girls who were sent to work without pay in the laundries, according to The Guardian newspaper.
Some women were sent by state authorities and institutions through contracts, simply because they were unmarried, came from broken homes or were abused, according to the BBC. Others were sent for petty crimes such as forgetting to pay a train ticket. There were 10 laundries with government contracts between the years of 1922 to as late as 1996.
The women toiled behind locked doors, unable to leave, and while the laundries were paid, the women and girls received no wages, according to the BBC.
Kenny apologized during a speech in parliament, two weeks after an official 1,000-page report expressed the suffering the women and girls endured in the laundries. In his apology, he said they deserved "the compassion and recognition for which they have fought for so long, deservedly so deeply."
He said their experiences had cast a "long shadow" over Irish life and that it had been "humbling and inspiring" to meet them.
"For 90 years Ireland subjected these women, and their experience, to a profound indifference," he said. "By any standards it was a cruel and pitiless Ireland, distinctly lacking in mercy," according to the BBC.
Along with his apology, Kenny offered a government-funded memorial to remember the victims, and a compensation package to 800 survivors who are still alive. This package includes counseling services, healthcare and individual cash payments.
"He didn't hold back on anything, he really did us proud," Maureen O'Sullivan, a Magdalene Laundries survivor, told the Irish Times. "Now we can get on with our lives, now that we have an apology and they've taken responsibility."
The Magdeline Laundries have been the subject of numerous exposes, a documentary and even a movie.

Australian swim star on cocaine charge: reports
Australia's Geoff Huegill with his bronze medal for the 50-metre butterfly at the FINA World Championships in Shanghai on July 25, 2011 - by Mark Ralston
The two-time Olympic medallist and his wife were reportedly found with the illegal drug during a police raid on a horseracing event in Sydney on Saturday.
New South Wales state police said a 35-year-old man and his wife were charged after being found "allegedly in possession of a small quantity of a white powder believed to be cocaine", without naming them.
The Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph newspapers cited witnesses who said the couple were escorted from the races by police.
Huegill "looked nervous and refused to be searched and kept asking for a lawyer," a racecourse employee told the Sydney Morning Herald.
The 35-year-old is the latest high-profile former swimmer facing unwanted time in the spotlight, after fellow Olympians Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett both recently entered rehab.
Thorpe sought help for depression after a mixture of painkillers and anti-depressants left him disoriented on a Sydney street while Hackett needed help for an addiction to sleeping pills.
Speaking about his friend Thorpe earlier this year, Huegill said that in his experience, one of the hardest things for an athlete was dealing with "life after sport".
Huegill is an inspirational figure in Australian swimming after a comeback from retirement in which he shed a whopping 45 kilograms over 18 months to win gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
He won bronze in the 100m butterfly and silver in the 4x100m medley relay at the Sydney 2000 Olympics but quit the sport soon after the Athens Games where he finished eighth in the 100m butterfly final.
Six years after retiring, he made inspiring swims at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi to win silver in the 50m butterfly and gold in the 100m final.
Huegill and his wife are reportedly due to appear in court on May 14.

A Richmond company helps save the newly insured time, money and headaches.
Marcee Blakeney just aged out of her parents healthcare plan and for the first time ever, she is responsible for her own coverage. Marcee navigated healthcare.gov, but was uneasy with all the new terminology. Deductibles, premiums, copays and out of pocket costs can confuse someone who's never dealt with insurance..
"You don't feel confident when you're not sure what you're about to step into and pay for each month," explains Blakeney, who spent hours on the phone talking to insurance companies and still felt uncomfortable with the choices she was given. "It became a pretty tedious and long process."
A friend told her about Benefinder.com, founded by David Blanchard. He used to work for an insurance company. When the Affordable Care Act passed, he knew the uninsured were going to need help.
"I saw a lot of people try to find insurance under the new law and struggled with ways of comparing their plans and finding the best value," Blanchard said.
His unique analysis software simplifies the process. Enter your zip code, info on who needs coverage and a few other personal details and you'll get all the available plans laid out so you can compare the total cost of the policies, not just the deductibles.
"[It] ensures they are getting potential subsidy, the best price, the best lowest total cost and also get them enrolled," he said.
Blanchard explained the lingo to Blakeney, crunched her numbers and found a plan that fit her needs and her budget.
"And it was all free, free for him to help me and basically do everything on my behalf," she said.
Staff from Benefinder.com help policy seekers by phone, online and in person for free.

Doherty and Pittman to miss Blues' date with destiny
2:43pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in Latest Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
GARY Doherty and Jon-Paul Pittman are the only two Wanderers players definitely out of contention for the club's final game of the season.
Veteran defender Doherty remains sidelined after breaking his arm, while a thigh complaint will prevent Pittman from adding to the 11 appearances he's made in an injury ravaged campaign.
Paris Cowan-Hall and joint top scorer Dean Morgan are both doubtful, but otherwise manager Gareth Ainsworth will have a full squad to chose from.

Work Begins at Response To Love Center | News
BUFFALO, N.Y.- It's been about three weeks since the furnace at the Response To Love Center finally gave out.
The steam boiler that had been working in the basement of the east side beacon of hope for the past fifty years had to be replaced, just as winter was coming.
Sister Mary Johnice told 2 On Your Side what happened and the community responded. As of Monday, December 3, 2012, donations amounting to $79,373 dollars have been received, and now work has begun to take out the old, and put in the new furnace.
Two On Your Side's Dooley O'Rourke checked on how things are progressing.

Diamondbacks looking to exceed expectations
During the offseason, the D-backs acquired Martin Prado, Cody Ross, Brandon McCarthy and Heath Bell to name a few, but dealt Justin Upton, Chris Young, Trevor Bauer and Chris Johnson in the process.
But as far as the D-backs are concerned, preseason predictions mean as much last year's third place finish: nothing.
"It's a new year, new players in the clubhouse -- a lot of good players," D-backs catcher Miguel Montero said. "We got really good pitching and I know we have a really good group of guys. I know they're good teammates and good clubhouse guys."
One of those clubhouse guys is Ross, who stated a lot of things went into his decision to be a D-back.
"This team is being built and shaped to be winners," Ross said. "This is a really good team with some really good young pitching. They're trying to get back to that Gibby way of playing the game -- go as hard as you can for 27 outs and leave everything on the field. I couldn't fit that mold any better."
That Kirk Gibson mentality of giving it your all while on the field is shared by a majority of the new D-backs, including Prado.
"I want to do whatever they want me to do," Prado said. "My goal is to make my teammates understand that I'm going to be there for them and for the team."
Unlike Prado, who's only been with one team throughout his career, McCarthy is now with his fourth franchise in eight seasons. However, the seven-year veteran is aware of Arizona's deep rotation and understands what he needs to do to play his part for the team.
"It's my job to fill in and hold up my end of the bargain," McCarthy said. "It's my job to make the best of that."
The 6-foot-7 starting pitcher was part of last year's American League West division champion Oakland Athletics, who won the division for the first time since 2006. However, McCarthy doesn't feel any added pressure of leading the D-backs to a similar result.
"I don't think you can do anything more than what you're capable of," McCarthy said. "It's trying to pitch as well as you can every time you go out there."
McCarthy also reiterated Ross' statements, crediting Towers for assembling a team that he believes should turn some heads.
"The way the team is set up, there's no glaring weak points," McCarthy said. "It's a collection of guys that if you're playing at your potential ... with as much talent as there is, it's going to be pretty hard to stop.
"The way the team is put together I really like it."

Current Score4.3 View full-size image Design Your Own < previous next > "The Nguyen cousins of Charlotte, NC reunited in Miami for a few days in August to catch up on the pass several years. For many of us, this was the first time in 5-6 years since we had seen each other. This is the first reunion for us; hopefully, it won't be our last. The t-shirts from CustomInk gave us a common look; pulling us together as a group. The t-shirts were great. The material was soft and wasn't too thick (which was a concern of mine)." - Toni (Aug 05, 2008) Similar Photos: family reunion | occasion | miami | anvil jersey | cousins reunite Share this photo: Twitter Facebook

Hate it when your cables get bunched up and don't leave you much room behind your TV or electronics?
Centronics is trying to stem the tide a little with an HDMI cable that drops down at a right angle if you want, or stays straight if needed. Yup, it's flexible, and hence the "HD Flex" name for this Centronics HDMI product.
These aren't any flimsy HDMI cable, either. Among their attributes:
Whether you do the work yourself or have a professional take care of it, the flexibility is sure to be welcomed.
The pricing's not too bad either for HDMI—6-foot cable for $39.95, 12-foot for $49.95 and 24-foot for $69.95. There's even a 15 percent off sale going on now (not sure how long it'll last) on all Centronics HDMI products.

.- Catholic lay people must be encouraged to speak about Christ and to offer living witness of the faith in the family and in the workplace, said Archbishop Oswald Gracias of Mumbai.
"The laity are called to take up leadership in the Church to defend Christian identity in society, to announce the Good News of the Gospel to the poor and work for development in keeping with the Social Doctrine of the Church," he stated according to a Fides report.
The archbishop, who is the president of the Conference of Indian Catholic Bishops of Latin Rite, said it is important to help lay Catholics realize that they have great relevance in the pastoral activity of the Church and its mission to carry Christian values to the fields of politics, media, social action and education in India.
In particular, the archbishop underlined, lay people are called to play a major role is the campaign to abolish unjust "anti-conversion" laws in India.
The prelate was speaking at a meeting of the Indian Bishops Conference. His comments were in reaction to a reported fear and a deliberate attempt among clergy to exclude lay people from pastoral work.
The archbishop called for more collaboration between clergy and lay people, noting that lay Catholics are present in many areas where clergy and religious are denied access. He said the laity have a great potential for evangelizing; he also stressed the special contribution offered by Catholic women.
It is "misconception to think that the laity are a passive flock," he said.

Cardinals ask Steelers for permission to interview Todd Haley
Originally published: Jan 3, 2013 - 9:09 am
The Arizona Cardinals have put a familiar face on their list of coaching candidates.
Multiple reports say the Cardinals have asked the Pittsburgh Steelers' permission to interview offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
Haley called plays for the Cardinals during their Super Bowl run in 2008-09.
The Cardinals have in fact formally asked for permission from the Steelers to interview Todd Haley— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
Haley left the Cardinals to become the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and was there for nearly three years.
The Cardinals interviewed defensive coordinator Ray Horton early in the week, are expected to interview Andy Reid on Thursday, although it looks like Kansas City is trying to not let that happen.
They have also set up an interview with Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy this weekend.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

(Ray Allen and Chasey Lain In He Got Game)
In my opinion the separation between hardcore flicks with REAL penetration and mainstream flicks that fake the sex was the invention of the VCR. Before filth became available on home video, you had to go out to a cinema and watch your porn if you wanted to see fucking on film. (and too many times it was the cinema on the bad side of town with sticky floors with substances you just didnt wanna know) But the VCR allowed you to watch porn in private at home and use the remote to skip all the plot and get to the money shot right away! The porn movies pre-vcr were shot with budgets close to real movies with properly trained directors, lighting and sound guys. Real movies budgets went UP with great special effects and full effort at making quality product. Porn movies budgets went DOWN because all you wanted was the low down dirty sex. You get a few arthouse movies that go hardcore but never cross over to mainstream in a meaningful way. A real hollywood studios skip the REAL fucking to not get the NC-17 label which is marketing DEATH for any chance of box office. the main reason they are there to make money! So for now we are just gonna have to deal with the occasional use of REAL pornstars in REAL movies. It gives hollywood some street cred, and more edge from using real naughty girls i guess. So for now there is still a deep divide between the real porn sex and hollywood make believe so i guess that we just need to accept this! oh well heres the list and be sure to google them!
10. Kobe Tai – Very Bad Things (1998)
4 guys have a bachelor party in Las Vegas when one accidentally kills a stripper/hooker (played by Kobe) and they have to cover it and things just fall apart from them after that. Its a dark comedy that is a cult favorite but a little too dark for the mainstream.
9. Ron Jeremy – Orgazmo (1997)
A Matt Stone and Trey Parker Film about a mormon missionary that somehow stumbles into the world of hardcore porn to fund his wedding. A hilarious fucked up movie that no one has barely seen due to the NC-17 rating but its the South Park guys creation so you know its gonna be outrageous. Dig it up if you can!
8. Charlotte Stokely, Ericka Vuitton, Charmaine Star and Stacy Adams – Black Dynamite (2009)
All 4 have short but very rememorable scenes in this 2009 Blaxploitation flick. There is a previous article at this blog CLICK HERE
7. Jenna Jameson – Private Parts (1997)
A semi-autographical forgettable movie about Shock jock Howard Sterns life and rise to fame. Forgot about the film but i remember her in it!
6. Vanessa Del Rio – Soul Men (2008)
Bernie Mac plays a washed up soul singer that is fading away into a boring retirement but discovers the busty latina next door. She goes cowgirl on him and I don't think hes ready for it in a very funny scene.
5. Stormy Daniels – 40 year Old Virgin (2005)
Appears in the box of porn when Space Nuts is watched in a fantasy jack off dream sequence in this comedy classic
4. Aurora Snow and Jenna Haze – Super Bad (2007)
Both won AVN performer of the year award so big names in there field in a mainstream smash! In the unrated version of bonus material they appear in a romp called 'Vagtastic girls'. Go rent the unrated version and watch this. Apparently Judd Apatow Loves His porn chicks he uses them in every film he ever made!
3. Jilly Kelly and Chasey Lain – He Got Game (1996)
Ray Allen plays a highly recruited highschool basketball player and on a campus visit his guide played by Rick Fox turns him on to two hot coeds that fuck his brains out! Its good to be the king!
2. Sasha Grey – The Girlfriend Experience (2009)
One of the rare occasions of an Active pornstar being used in a lead role in this Steven Soderbergh film about a high priced call girl in Manhattan. Definitely a step up for Sascha considering shes done the SUPER HARDCORE scenes like swallowing the cum of 15 guys in a ruthless oral orgy. She retired from hardcore in 2010 to pursue more mainstream material. This movie was shot for 1 million and made 1.1 mill.

Ainsworth: We deserved a point
7:31pm Saturday 16th February 2013 in Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
BLUES boss Gareth Ainsworth felt his side did enough to have earned a point against Bristol Rovers this afternoon.
A game of few clear cut chances at either end was settled by Ryan Brunt's first half goal for the Pirates as Wanderers lost for the second match in succession.
Blues piled on the pressure at the end but had two strong penalty appeals waved away and the Rovers goal survived a mad goalmouth scramble in injury time.
And Ainsworth said: "If there was any justice we'd have poked that one in the net and got away with a draw. I think it probably was a draw today. Both teams battled and cancelled each other out.
"The first penalty shout was a quite a strong one but you don't always get one. In the scramble at the end we nearly got something.
"There was one lapse of concentration which I wasn't happy with, with a couple of players involved, and that led to the goal. Apart from that I don't think Jordan had a save to make, but likewise I don't think their keeper had a save to make. It was probably a point apiece but it doesn't always work that way and [Rovers manager] John Ward's a happier man tonight.
"The lads are gutted they didn't get a point. They believe they should have had something."
The Wanderers manager admitted some of his usually reliable players put in below par performances but he said there were plenty of positives to take out of the game as well.
Dean Morgan was rested but put in a fine display when he was introduced from the bench on the hour mark, and his replacement in the starting XI, Jo Kuffour, also impressed with an energetic performance against his old club.
Ainsworth said: "I thought Jo and Matt deserved their chance. Jo Kuffour created a lot of chances for himself, he could have had one.
"Losing 3-0 at home to Bradford was a tough one to take. I thought the lads responded OK.
"First half we bossed the game for 30 minutes, we really did. As soon as they scored we started panicking, doing the wrong things.
"They had the first ten minutes of the second half but after that it was all us."
He added: "We still need to get a few more points on the board yet and that's what I'm aiming to get."
