Name: Tristan Hudson
Age: 28
Species: Human
Appearance: Athletic, highly tanned, with black hair. He has natural red highlights from the sun. His ears are both pierced.
Talent: (only applicable if human) Sensory projection. He is able to project all five of his senses onto others so that they may experience what he is experiencing; likewise, he is able to 'borrow' the senses of others, experiencing what they do. This includes senses like echolocation.
Skills: Proficient with whip. Trained by his family to keep flying fish and other minor annoyances off of the airships, has now become deadly proficient at it. He carries a chain whip with a sharp tip. He is able to command and navigate an airship, and is able to teach others how to work an airship.
Background: Tristan was born and raised in the northwestern port city of Balai. His family owns a successful trading company and is currently in command of many airships. Fortunately, Tristan was not the oldest son; as such, the responsibilities of running the company and being tied in Balai was given to his brother Edward. He eventually married and adopted a child; however, his wife left him after several years for a man with a more physical talent, and soon after his airship was attacked by pirates and his son died in the attack. For two years after, he remained in a funk, hanging around bars and taking a liking to the resident wenches. When his father died, he realized he needed to shape up, so he took his new airship, the
, and set off to the Eastern kingdom's port city, Lisaia. He is looking for a crew to help him search the wilderness of Serge for a certain Zombie Master who may be able to revive his wife and child. The first step in finding this man is investigating rumors on the western coast of the Eastern region of an artifact that points its way to whatever the bearer asks of it. His crew will know of his mission only as a treasure hunting expidition.
Prior relationships: Will recognize Lycoris from prior trading events.
Motivations for signing up for crew: To find a way to locate the Zombie Master.
Keeper of Zaebos' and Jormand's powers.

Name: Lycoris Marcus Campbell
Age: 26
Species: Human
Appearance: petite, but with a little bit of lean muscle. She has long hair which is normally very pale white-blond, but it is always dyed blue with streaks of purple braided through, and she also has blue eyes. She has two piercings in the lobe of each ear, and a silver cuff on her left one. On the inside of her left forearm and on her shoulder, there is a tattoo of a merman brandishing a cutlass done in iridescent green family sigil.
Talent: Macro-telekinesis. She can left very heavy objects and create large shields, but she cannot lift anything smaller than a crate/average human adult nor pick locks.
Skills: Has received basic fencing training she can wield a lightweight cutlass, but her advantages lie in speed and not strength. Is an accomplished penguin sledder. She is also fairly adept in the art of manipulation and black mail, and is not afraid to use it and whatever means she deems necessary to get what she wants. Enjoys throat-singing on occasion
Background: Lycoris is a daughter of a pirate clan, the Campbells, who are based in the Southern Lands in a town called Perditions Point, and own a small flotilla. She spent most of her childhood in the snowy backdrops, learning to fence and penguin-sled, being educated and trained alongside her two brothers and older sister to join the family business once she was old enough and capable to. At age seventeen, she started to serve on her brother, Apollonius ship as both consul and defensive.
However, pirate clan society tends to be cold and clinical, and as time went on, it started to become clear that their father, the current leader of the clan, had no intention of declaring an heir. Instead he appeared to be encouraging the siblings to fight amongst themselves, and the eventual victor would take the prize so to speak. With no clear victor in sight, and none of their lives were able to progress as they would have normally, Lycoris decided the best way to avoid several sticky situations, including the in-fighting, would to be to request to go on A Walk. "A Walk" is where children of the main family branch trained and worked away from the family business, in order to build experience and possible business links something which was not unheard of, though they tended to under go such experiences in their early teens. However, she requested and received permission from her father to go on this Walk, but not from her brother and captain, something which he was very put out by.
Lycoris is looking to avoid her siblings as much as possible, so as not to get involved in any hare-brained plots which could possibly destroy the clan. She does love her siblings, but is not in the least bit sentimental or upset by her departure from clan life she would just really prefer to keep her head more than anything.
This was five years ago now she drifts between contracts, working as a defensive fighter with her shielding abilities. Her motivation for seeking to join the crew will be because her current contract has ended, and she is hoping for a well-paying gig.
Prior relationships: She will recognise Tristan from prior trading events

Name: Lyla K. Daavison
Age: 24
Species: Human
Appearance: tall and wiry, with dark chocolate-coloured hair and green eyes. Wears silver rings in her ears and usually wears her shoulder-length hair loose or in a horse-tail. Dark, tanned skin and athletic frame.
Talent: Can project images onto walls or solid surfaces.
Skills: As a child, Lyla practiced with the only weapon that was easily accessible in her village. The villages children would collect scrap metal and other such things from the local shops, sharpen the edges with a rock or knife, then practise throwing them. Through diligent practise, Lyla became an expert at her chosen sport, and calls the razor-sharp, perfectly balanced throwing stars her, calling cards. Does not rely on her talent at all, and chooses to become highly skilled at more dependable arts. Fights with her bare fists just fine.
Background: Richard and Cara Daavison delighted in being the perfect, hard-working family. Cara had long blonde hair and blue eyes with a sweet nature, and Richard was handsome and dark-haired. The couple owned a small convenience store in their little community in the eastern region, not far from Lisaia itself. Over four years, Cara gave birth to two boys, both similar to her in looks. Her eldest marched off to become a soldier, and her younger was content to hold shop and read books.
When Lyla was born, her parents were delighted. With two handsome, successful boys and a daughter, their lives felt complete. Cara envisioned a charming, beautiful daughter to dress in elegant gowns and frocks, and Richard dreamt of a useful, suitably intelligent daughter to help her brother run the shop and keep books.
Alas, it was not to be. Yes, Lyla could be charming, she was certainly intelligent, and could even be called beautiful by some, with her smooth dark hair and eyes so green and endearing, but her parents had not counted on a certain wild streak in their perfect daughter, nor a distinct, city-bred deviousness.
Until she was 11, Lyla ran wild in the streets with a gang of other giggling, shrieking children. She was content to practise stick-fighting, throwing stars, and pick-pocketing. The despair of her parents. The only thing that set her apart from the other children was the education her parents insisted on her having.
Finally, at 17, Lyla had borne enough of her anxious, over-bearing parents. Slinging a battered carry-sack filled with food and her calling cards, Lyla left home. She spent 6 years with a travelling theatre group, honing her already-dramatic skills and adding another layer to the mask that covered the real Lyla. To the outside world, Lyla appears to be slightly immature and impulsive, but with a love of life and adventure. She has unplumbed depths of courage and resourcefulness that have yet to be tested. She hasnt run into much opposition in her young life, but is a hard worker and desires to see the world.

Name: Alia Carbury
Age: 23
Species: Human
Appearance: Tall and big-boned, though with little apparent muscle. Hair is cut forward at a slant and dyed an extremely dark green that looks black. She has brown eyes and is pale. She has a large slash-shaped scar across both forearms, and numerous smaller ones on her calves. She wears a thin silver ring in the shape of a curling wave on her right ring finger.
Talent: Can extinguish any light within a 25 foot radius.
Skills: Has moderate skill with a rapier and hand to hand combat, as well as business management and numerous bits of useful (or useless) knowledge.
Background: Her parents were part of a merchant clan that was based in Lisaia, and often had a strained relationship due to stress and the constant travel required of them. Alia was born on a caravan heading north, and spent the first several years of her life traveling the continent with her family. When she was three, a younger brother, Camon, was born. After her brother's birth, her parent's marriage grew even more difficult, until at last, when she was five, Alia's mother took her children back to Lisaia with the excuse that Alia and her brother weren't getting a proper education. As divorce was forbidden in their clan, Alia's parents remained separated for the rest of their lives. In the meantime, Alia and Camon were enrolled in an academy to receive basic education. Camon was sent on to receive a further education in order to become a merchant, while Alia was sent to finishing school. Both rebelled against the future chosen for them, and ran away from school. Not having the spunk or the knowledge to make an income, Alia went home; Camon never returned. Exasperated, her mother relented to her staying home, but continued to teach her etiquette and proper behavior for a young lady. When she was 18, her mother began to bring suitors around, and a match was arranged against Alia's will. The man in question was a lower class magician with a lot of money, but a bad reputation. Alia ran away again, and determined to stick it out this time, hired herself out as a work hand inside the city. Eventually her jobs took her into other major cities across the continent as well as into the wilderness. With each new job, she made sure to send a letter to her brother, Camon, with whom she'd been in correspondence since his disappearance. He had never revealed where he was, but simply informed her to send a letter to a particular address and assured that he would receive it. Throughout the next three years, Alia worked at many odd jobs were she learned a variety of useful and peculiar skills, self defense and book-keeping among them. When she returned from her last job, she found that both of her parents had died, leaving the estate to her and her brother. Alia now needed to find the new head of the family, her brother, Camon, and decided to have what would probably be her last fling before she was tied down for the rest of her life.
Prior relationships: None

Nawahqde su-Camesh ("su-" meaning "of the Clan")
Nawahqde is big, even for Centaur standards. The equine lower body is the equivalint of a
Frisian Horse
. His humaniod upper body is similarly muscular. His hair and fur are jet black, his skin slightly tanned. An assortment of tattoos covers great parts of his humanoid anatomy.
none (non-Human)
Over the years, Nawahqde has gained great experience as a ship's carpenter. His great size and strength also make him quite useful in a variety of situations, from loading goods to melee combat. His preferred weapons are axes, and next to his traditional woodworking tools, he's also acquired a huge, two handed battle axe and a number of throwing axes.
Years ago Nawahqde was a simple lumberjack in the southern forest region. At age 19 he met and fell in love with the daughter of a local clan chief. The girl returned his affection, but her family strongly dissapproved of her liaison with a lowly woodcutter. At one point, this led Nawahqde into a fight with the girl's brother, in which he ended up acidentally killing his opponent. Knowing that the man's family would accuse him of murder, Nawahqde fled from his homeland.
In an attempt to get as far away from his past as possible, Nawahqde started working as a sailor. His centauroid body shape obviously prevented him from climbing around in the rigging, but his prior experience with wood soon got him positions assisting the ship's carpenter. Over the years, he grew to be quite capable in this craft, so that now - for the first time - he's seeking employment as chief carpenter.
Prior relationships:
None known so far.
Motivations for signing up for crew:
It's really just another job for him.

Name: Peter
Age: 35
Species: Human
Appearance: Average height, possessed of a wiry strength though he tends to wear baggy clothing to hide knives up his sleeves.
Talent: Replacement of up to the last three minutes worth of memories of a creature within sight.
Skills: Knife fighting, medic, lock picking.
Background: Uninterested in any sort of learning or craft bar getting into trouble Peter joined the local guard at the earliest possible opportunity, figuring that if he was too lazy to make a living and was going to crack heads for it instead he may as well do it on the less troublesome side of things. Not above twisting facts around to achieve an arrest or conviction where he already knew of a person's guilt Peter joined an undercover unit. An order came from a distance now, in letters and from contacts on the street, and it was there they might very well have remained forever had he not been followed home one night and set upon. Resembling a single giant bruise he picked up a knife that had fallen to the ground in his kitchen slid it into his waist band and set out after the group. He found in himself that night a certain twisted deviousness, a will he hadn't known he possessed. Over the next few months his investigation targets and some of the people connected to them started to turn up dead, his orders changed the people became more important, falling within the realms even of the guard, business men and politicians in other towns or cities. As the job became an art, using knives, uncovering or creating evidence, he ceased to question the suspects' guilt or otherwise. He learned medicine as a cover for his travelling, allowing him to bumble in and out of towns with nary a trace. Months became years, the doctor became an archaeologist and a trader, among other guises; he ceased to wonder where the orders came from anymore or who the contacts were. Eventually he stopped taking orders from the contacts at all; failing to turn up in the next town on the list he'd been given. Instead he took to picking and choosing from people who'd pay good money for a silent bit of work wherever and whenever he ended up somewhere on his travels.
Lately Peter has signed on with an airship crew for its convenience of travel and the cover it allows him assuming his latest guise as treasure hunter.
Prior relationships: N/A
Motivations for signing up for crew: Convenience of travel and the hiding-ness that allows, and if they strike it rich he doesn't object to taking some of the prize money either.

Name: Gregory Thomas Casey aka "Max Maguire"
Age: 25
Species: Human
Equipment: A bright white vest, cut-off at the sleeves with buttons along it's front to close it up. A pair of baggy, loose pants (hunter green). A belt made of intricately woven leather strands. A musical case (hardened to fire, shock, or water) containing a rare hand-crafted musical instrument and a shelaighleigh. The shelaighleigh can separate just below the neck with the right twist, revealing a thin blade like a fencing saber (only with a point).
Appearance: Just under six feet, and obviously not eating enough to keep himself at a healthy weight, Max Maguire is also typical for his profession (guitarist in a punk rock band). Max has bright red hair, and a long red goatee that hangs several inches from his chin. Coupled with bright blue eyes and a pale complexion, he's true to his namesake... and true to his musical style, his body is covered in scars (some self inflicted) and tattoos.
Talent: At first mistaken for musical talent, Max's "power" is to be able to make any musical instrument play perfectly, and sound really good doing it. In a matter of a few minutes he can figure out almost any stringed instrument and start playing it decently, within a day playing it well enough to be on par with most normal musicians. Wind or brass instruments take more time, but in an order of a day or two he can play them with nominal skill.
Skills: Most of Max's skills revolve around entertaining others. Singing, cooking, dancing, and of course musicianship.
Background: Max was born the middle child of seven children to a poor family in Lisaia. Growing up, his family was very close, and so he had always been used to having a protectorship of older brothers, and in turn he was used to protecting his younger sisters. When he was twelve, he picked up a guitar at a friend's house an in a few minutes was managing to play it rather effectively.
This of course catapulted him into a musical career, and he found in his schooling the chance to play almost any instrument he wanted to. As soon as he could, he left school and formed a rather normal musical trio, focusing on melody and rhythm. This band, with it's front-man endlessly chasing women, failed, and so Max took on the name "Max Maguire" and made a one-man rock band, that spent a lot of time in the "punk" genre as well. Several years of wild parties left him looking the part, though he still communicates via letter with his family back home.
Unfortunately for Max, the world he entered as a hardcore rocker refuses to let him leave... people recognize him and refuse to acknowledge that he is, in fact, a stage persona.
Prior relationships: Beyond his family, only random women he's been with. Mostly he has trouble being himself, which damages relationships.
Motivations for signing up for crew: Leaving his custom built life of hard rocking and all that goes with it, trying to find a way to leave that world and be a bit calmer.

-Approved By GM-
Name: Aislin
Age: 19
Species: Human
Appearance: Slender, willowy, and on the short side, with delicate features and extremely short red-orange hair. She has large blue eyes and an abundance of freckles all over her tanned skin. Both ears have three piercings in each lobe, with a fourth in the cartilage of the right one. On right side of her lower back is a vaguely star-shaped birthmark, which remains with her in ferret form as a patch of darker colored fur in the same shape. As a ferret she retains her blue eyes, and her coloration is a sable variant, with a cream undercoat and dark red guard-hairs.
Talent: Shapeshifting. She can change into a ferret at will, however the longer she stays in animal form, the more she loses touch with her humanity and the harder it is to turn back.
Skills: tracking, stealth, animal handling, tumbling, reading people, pickpocketing, lock-picking. She is also skilled with the dual knives she keeps holstered at her hips.
-Found in the forest by Einrich, a gentle, kind-hearted and mute woodworker. She was dirty, clothes ripped, and had a number of cuts and bruises, but despite having obviously been out there for days she was found quite happily playing hide and seek with a family of foxes. She had no recollection of where her family was or how she got there, though she did tell him her name was Aislin and she was almost 3 years old.
-Has always had a very strong affinity for the woods and its inhabitants, and would frequently go wandering off for hours on end only to come home dirtied and grinning happily, with at least one new critter friend in tow. To this day she still spends most of her time outside of town, and while she doesn't bring home any new friends unless they're sick or injured, they still have a tendency of following her anyways. The townsfolk still recall the time she came home with a fully grown stag limping behind her, so she could properly bandage up the leg that had been caught in a steel trap.
-From a very early age she has shown a fascination for pretty things, coupled with a compulsive need to take them and keep them safe. She used to keep her treasures all over the house, but when Einrich once scolded her for using his tool cabinet to hang scarves, branches and bits of string, she started hiding her 'pretties' elsewhere; a forgotten attic here, a root cellar there, a cave or two in the woods, under Widow Helmsley's tulip beds next door...
-Although extremely gregarious and outgoing, making friends very quickly and with nearly everyone she meets, the only person she has ever developed a close bond with is Einrich. Due to the animalistic side of her Talent, she has always connected much more easily to animals, rather than people.
Her life has been relatively uneventful for the most part, save the sort of crazy pranks and wacky hijinks to be expected from an inquisitive, mischievously playful girl with all the self-control and attention span of a hyperactive ferret. That is, until two weeks ago when Einrich disappeared. Aislin is convinced he has been taken to Rose Castle, and is determined to do whatever it takes to get him back.
Prior relationships: Einrich her guardian.
Motivations for signing up for crew: To save Einrich

(Brief blog post because I'm sleepy and Sleepy Emily blog posts go downhill fast. So, here goes.)
We went to the Rangers-Angels game tonight in Anaheim. It was my first baseball game ever where I was not in a sweater (and/or winter coat and/or winter boots and/or skiing gloves) by the end, which was kind of fantastic but the game was… not fantastic at all. At all at all. The Rangers lost by a final of 7-4 and Matt Harrison, who started for Texas, was pretty awful. To add insult to injury, Alexi Ogando (Who Is My Favorite Ranger Ever) came in in relief, and melted. In pure, Barry Zito, ice-cream-cone-in the-sun fashion. Me and my polka dotted shorts shrunk down into the seat while the Anaheim fans did the wave and stuff and that was that.
They lost. It was ugly. It's my second Rangers game of the season – the first was in Oakland – and they've lost both times. Don't say what you're thinking because I know you're thinking it. I do not (do not) jinx them. I'm seriously good luck. The karma just, um, hasn't itself out quite yet. But it's going to. I am going to have to make it to #3 this year so I can prove the point. Preferably a Yu start, just 'cause. Matt Harrison starts may or may not be out.
Also, at Angels Stadium they do something called a Bubble Cam (is this devilry unique to Anaheim? Because I've never seen it before.) where they show fans on the Jumbotron and distort their faces with funhouse mirror type effects. It was kind of a snooze until the end when… they showed Yu Darvish. In the dugout. With his hat all blown up and distorted. And he laughed. He laughed, guys. I don't think I've ever seen a Yu Darvish laugh before but it made my night. I'm not usually much of a fangirl, but believe me when I say I am a Yu Darvish fangirl.
As a said, these kinds of posts go downhill fast. Good night, people. Catch you all tomorrow.

p.s. Nah, we're not talking about the Giants game. That's probablyreally not a good idea.

Mmm, for some reason Sheamus drives me crazy. Very hot guy!
Mmm, for some reason Sheamus drives me crazy. Very hot guy!
The more we see of Brad Maddox this year, the better.
That guy is the hottest thing the WWE has. Just the right size, with a bulge in all the right places!
I love this pic too. Must admit I was expecting to see bright red pubes on him, guess he 'shaves it bare'. Still F'n hot pic. For me, groomed (not a wild bush) pubes would have taken this photo to another level. One of my favs! I am so waiting for him to get pantsed or a nude cell phone pic (which prob wouldn't happen, but it's nice to think about it). Ever since Shaemus came to the WWE, with his milky skin and hot body, I was like I have to see him nude! A little bit more and that thing would have flopped out of his trunks. Perfect example of right place, right time, excellent camera quality, and actually posting on the web and sharing. Many thanks to the photographer for this shot!
lol Roll him over to me, there's a few things I'd to do with Daniel Bryan while in that position.
This is A classic over 5 min of Daniel and that grade A ass
I meant Bryan still a classic clip
Funny as hell
How do you make pictures and gifs bigger??
^^ 'YES' PLEASE! Just realized I was staring at the screen for like a min waiting for him to do something else! Gotta love the new gifs! LOL! That's all he needs to do anyway though, just grind it Ziggler! Thanks for posting
The MIZ.... A 5-part presentation!
For me, the Miz is simply cute. Not ugly by a long shot. Good body. Face is good. Not the most impressive bulge or ass (from what we can see when he has on those trunks). That speedo pic shows that he has an ass though. Much like Orton (and don't get me started) I think the Miz' trunks 'hold back' what he really has got under there. (Kind of like those things they sell that hide your flabby stomach and love handles and make them smoothe). Orton and Miz need to switch the material of their trunks, ASAP! Something like Ted DiBiase uses would be great! The last thing I want to say about the Miz before I start the pics is that he is killer on the mic! I mean he has been doing it for a while now but even when he was new to the WWE he impressed me with his skills. You can tell he was a true wrestling fan since he was little and studied the mic skills of all the greats!
Anyway here goes....
I got some oldies, hopefully some new stuff, and a bonus for Miz and Cena fans!.......
~~~~~Buckle-up bitches!~~~~~
Let's start with some oldies/reposts for the newer members ("yaaaawwwwnnnnn" pics for the rest of us)
Miz - part 2...Random pics....
MVP's big booty kind of takes the focus off of Miz in this shot, oh well
Looks like a setup for an interracial gangbang if you ask me! The pounding will be 'AWESOME'!
Miz -part 3 .... "Miz and friends"
***Miz and Ryder***
Look at all that skin were are missing out on because of those damn black underwear they both have on under their trunks!
***Miz and Alex Riley***
"Last one to the cane gets..." (you finish the rest!)
^^ You can't make this sh*t up! What a f'n 'hot-shot', I say! Now that's good wrestling photography! LOL ! I guess A-Ry got the the cane first, now he wants his reward! Does it not look like he is trying to pull down Miz' trunks!? YUM!!!
Miz and A-Ry always were so good together (probably outside of work too! )
***Miz and Randy***
This is my very favorite Miz pic to date
Do you see what I mean about his bulge. It's clearly there, but sometimes you can't tell, it's like it is non-existent at times. Like Orton, he needs the perfect camera angle for that thing to pop up (or out I should say )
^^ "REALLY, REALLY!" HOW F'n hott is this F'n pic?! Again, you can't make this sh*t up! This is one of those situations where you want to hear the phrase... "It's exactly what it looks like". I don't know about ya'll, but to me (in my dirty mind) I see Miz sucking off Orton, jerking himself off and fingering himself, ALL AT THE SAME TIME !!!! And Orton's facial expression is just perfect for this shot! Must say, everything came together in this shot!
Ummmm, ummm! I could just go on and on about this pic, so I'm going to stop so we can get to part 4, which you don't want to miss either!
Miz - part 4... "You Can't F*ck Me"
You know how some wrestlers you like to see face each other or partner together because of their 'chemistry' (in other words the stuff that gets you hard when you see the two together! ). Like Orton and Cena, probably the best example, especially when Cena slides down Orton's hot sweaty body all the time during their matches together. A-Ry and Miz are usually hot together. HHH and HBK for some people, etc. (you get the point) Well, I think Cena and Miz have been grossly overlooked. Here's why.....
Cena> "You can't see me"
Miz> " I'm gonna do more than not see you, stay down bitch!"
Cena>" Just don't let him f*ck, ref, please!"
Miz> "If these cameras weren't rolling, I'd be about 6 inches deep in your ass right now!" (now that's a little dirty, I know, but Miz wants what he wants )
Miz> "Choke on it, bitch!" ( look how jealous A-ry looks, lol , after a while these shots just line up perfectly to the stories/fantasies in my head!)
Miz> "Cena, you can look at it as long as you don't grab it!"
(It's clear what Miz' intentions are in this shot. No need for me to narrate this one! )
Orton's gonna be pissed when he sees this....
( that used to be 'their' thing.... Cena's such a slut Orton, move on! I think Ryder is free.)
------------- Cena then gets the upperhand (I thought it was weird seeing Miz be the dominate one in all this)------------
This next set of pics I must say impressed me on two levels. <1> They're f'n hot as sh*t . <2>Cena's doing a real wrestling move! (p.s. I can't believe I found multiple angles of this shot, Yay!)
mlange,this shot is for you!
you wanted ass, bulge, thighs.... here ya go....
And just when you thought the stretch was hot....
Cena 'mounts' him!....
For me, seeing these pics of Cena 'mount' the Miz like this while doing this "stretch" is just too much! What can be hotter?.... guess you'll have to check out part 5!
Him and Brent Albright
Amazing hot photos of Miz!! That photo of his ass, bulge and thighs was so fucking hot! Thanks rwfan11!
Miz- part 5... The Bonus!
So what could be hotter than that photo of Cena mounting the Miz (other than a sex tape! LOL) ?
Well how about LIVE ACTION! Because I rock(j/k), I will share with you video of this! I actually found FIVE. All with different angles and quality. Plus, I know sometimes when the cameraperson talks too much or is shaky, it distracts/irritates me. So hopefully there is an vid for everyone's taste.
@ the very start, this video catches the end of the mounting. HD quality though. check out when cena kicks Miz in the butt and out the ring!
And just for you mlange
@3:47 hot thigh action and @ 8:00 nice butt view! Be sure you have the 'HD' option selected on this one! This vid doesn't have the mounting but it certainly makes up for it!
Phewwwwwwwww, ya'll have worked me tonight! LOL! Just Kiddin', always a pleasure!
Hope everyone enjoyed my presentation of the MIZ!!! And as always if you didn't....
Miz> "Hey, you. Suck IT!"
Miz> "If you didn't enjoy watching Cena ride me like a pony, or checking out my thighs, package and ass, who cares....

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Miz ass shot appears to be Chris Jericho by the looks of the trunks.
it is chris jericho
Hate to break it to you guys, but Brad Maddox is married. Lucky bitch!!
Reading that article and found out something very "shocking":
Brad Maddox is nothing like the character he's scripted to portray on TV. Once again the main reason why wrestling is so boring, these guys are given scripts to remember instead of just being themselves and letting their real personalities shine.
Quote from legendary wrestling promoter Jerry Jarrett: "Wrestlers make horrible actors."
If AJ says Cena is a small man, it must be true! lol
Jinder Mahal just grabbed Sheamus' ass! I think I just died.

TMZ has obtained incredibly gruesome photos of Tila Tequila -- taken after she claims she was victim of crowd violence at a concert in Illinois.
According to Tila, she took the stage at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Illinois -- a concert featuring such acts as Insane Clown Posse and Kottonmouth Kings.
Tila gave TMZ a very detailed account of what happened, saying: "I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-0-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage."
Police confirm they responded to the scene, but couldn't go into detail, citing HIPAA laws.

Exhibition Review: Underwhelmed by the Venice Biennale
Any pretext to revisit La Serenissima is welcome, and the Biennale offers a recurring excuse. It allows you to wander around the crumbling brick halls and still waterways of the Arsenale—arguably the most fascinating place in the city—and admire the zoo of architectural curiosities in the Giardini. The tide of mass tourism doesn't extend this far, though the obscenely large yachts moored along the quay are evidence of another kind of predator. This year's architectural Biennale was directed by Rem Koolhaas who insisted that it open in early June and run six months, as does the art exposition. Hopes ran high that his prestige and creative imagination would generate a memorable show.

Gold, Silver Shine as US Falters
July 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Alix Steel
NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Gold prices were soaring to record highs Wednesday as investors rushed to the safe haven after House Speaker John Boehner's debt plan hit a brick wall.
Gold for August delivery was adding $9.20 to $1,626 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price has traded as high as $1,626.80 and as low as $1,617 while the spot gold price was rising $7.10 according to Kitco's gold index. Silver prices were climbing steadily higher as well, up 70 cents to $41.40 an ounce. The U.S. dollar index was adding 0.18% at $73.65 while the euro was shedding 0.22% vs. the dollar.
The House of Representatives had been gearing up to vote on Speaker Boehner's debt plan in which the debt ceiling would be raised in two tranches based on spending cuts, but the plan hit a snag. The Congressional Budget Office said that his plan to cut $1.2 trillion over 10 years fell almost $400 billion short. This puts the Senate Democrat plan front and center, which also must face Budget Office scrutiny.
Although most experts think that a high gold price does not reflect a U.S. default, uncertainty over an agreement is a green light for investors to buy gold.
David Banister, chief investment strategist at ActiveTradingPartners.com, thinks that gold will hit $1,730 in a few weeks and maybe even soar to $1,800 an ounce. Banister doesn't think the U.S. will default, however, but that global fiscal issues and negative real interest rates — the interest rate minus inflation — will continue to support high gold prices.
"Any reaction to the downside on gold will be temporary," argues Banister. "Traders might be unwilling to make a commitment until they see the short term reaction," explaining why gold hasn't skyrocketed, "but I would say any short term pullback in gold on successful debt talks I would be a buyer."
Stan Dash, vice president of applied technical analysis at TradeStation, also sees prices at $1,730. Dash, in measuring rallies since gold's low in October of 2008, says that gold can typically move 20% in a leg of a bull market. A move to the $1,730 level would be a 17% rise from the May support level of $1,480 an ounce. "You can't argue with price," says Dash. "It's making new highs. It's still a bull market"

The real problem is that PERS is now affecting both ends of the membership. Tier II (1995)and OPSRP (2003) members are paying the price for the extravagance of Tier I retirees who are happy to receive as much as they can regardless of the effect.
Now there's a good place to start. If they are 'representing' a union, then that's their actual job. Some of those are not elected positions, so kick their entitled butt out the door. If they want to represent the union, then let the union care for them, not us.
The only avenue out of this mess is to boot the union out of policy-making positions and Demo pockets. Otherwise, nothing will change but the ever-increasing amount of PERS liability to taxpayers.
So, what is the end game? Our "leaders" don't have a clue, but it won't be good.
As a former Demo legislative candidate, you know the unions will do anything to protect their gold mine. It has never been about fairness, and with the players all on one side (PERS recipients), it's highly unlikely to expect real reform.
Everyone in the legislature can see the math problem, it's not like they don't know what has to be done, they just need to know voters have their back - or not - if they side with their contributors and not their constituents.
And if one could actually find a politician that represented the voters (and not special interests) -- you're looking a a one-termer, for sure.

For the first time in several years, the A's baseball brass heads to the Winter Meetings in a rare position. They only have to make minor tweaks to a team that won 94 games last season—the second most in the American League behind the Yankees. Of course, the odds are those tweaks won't actually occur at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel this week. It would be Billy Beane's hope that at least some substantive conversations with agents and other team general managers will take place, perhaps laying the foundation for deals in the weeks ahead.
The A's already acquired one of the better all-around outfielders in the National League when they traded Cliff Pennington to Arizona to obtain Chris Young, whose powerful bat, speed and defensive prowess will give Bob Melvin flexibility and one more weapon in his arsenal in 2013. Maybe we should petition the league to see if we can add a 10th man to our defense. That way Young, Coco Crisp, Josh Reddick, Yoenis Cespedes and Seth Smith can flip to see who plays "rover."
While there's no reason for Billy to tip his hand on what he and his trusty triumvirate of David Forst, Farhan Zaidi and Dan Feinstein are planning to do, it would be safe to say that a front-line shortstop, and maybe to a lesser extent, a veteran starting pitcher, are on the list. Although we chose not to exercise the option of late-season addition Stephen Drew, it appears we remain interested in him and appreciate what he contributed down the stretch to our division title run. However, as a free agent, there are certain to be other suitors for Drew's services as well. With four more months before Opening Night, there still is plenty of time to address the shortstop situation.
For me personally, the greater challenge this week will be navigating the gargantuan property called the Opryland Hotel. Whoever designed this place must have had a sense of humor. It is comprised of an endless expanse of lobbies, atriums, bars and indoor plants. Last time I was here, I learned quickly that every quadrant, corner or section of the inner sanctum looks identical to the other. While it certainly is a beautiful venue, you are guaranteed to get lost several times during the Meetings. And this is not a good thing, since the primary objective of the Winter Meetings is to, ugh, meet. Blank stare, increased breathing…and then the inevitable double take… It's not pretty. I know. I have been one of those wandering souls in the Opryland's Land of the Lost. I would think GMs and player agents can circumvent this by simply meeting in their suites, which I guess has become the most common method no matter where the Meetings are held.
It's not quite that simple as a club PR director. You are charged with the responsibility of delivering your general manager and manager to the various media locations off the various foyers during the week. There are appearances on the live sets of ESPN and MLB Network, Sirius/XM Radio and informal media conferences for the national and Bay Area media covering the event. Every year, I make a point of surveying the hotel layout before those interviews take place. It has crossed my mind that leaving bread crumbs from each location to the hotel elevator might not be such a bad idea. It's embarrassing enough if I get lost, but the last thing I want to do is get the 2012 Executive of the Year and AL Manager of the Year lost, too. Maybe I should invest in a GPS navigator.
No matter, we forge on. BoMel does his 30-minute informal session with the media corps later today. He also is scheduled to appear on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's "Chronicle Live" show in the 5 o'clock hour. If you tune in and he's a no-show, you'll know his PR guy took a wrong turn at the shrubs and his worst fear has been realized.

maybe one of those outfielders can play shortstop or second base…..:(
I hope negotiations with Stephen Drew are still continuing.
Why don't the A's pursue a mirror type stadium to the Giants AT&T park, at the old Naval Air Station in Alameda. A stadium in Albany, Emeryville, or some other East Bay waterfront property. It's befitting such a great team, with such a great history and future. There's enough money in the Bay Area to get the stadium built, not a joke in Freemont…

Cinema | 'Die besten Frauen,' the best women (w/ video)
Ian Plenderleith, not for the first time, has done great service by offering a synopsis and highlights in translation of director Britta Becker's 90-minute documentary Die besten Frauen der Welt (The Best Women in the World).
The trailer from Die besten Frauen der Welt, including, toward the start, the German players creating what Der Spiegel calls "die Nebelwand aus Haarspray," "the fog wall of hairspray," to ensure match-action stability. (Little Shark Entertainment GmbH) |
Ninety minutes seems to be the mandatory length of a football-themed documentary or feature. In this case, Becker has trimmed from 120 hours of footage, dating to the Mar 07 Algarve Cup. The film had its premiere in Frankfurt on Dec 17 and its cross-country screening on Jan 2 on German channel ARD. It releases to DVD in March.
German reviewers have made the inevitable comparisons to the Sönke Wortmann–directed Deutschland: Ein Sommermärchen (Germany: A Summer's Fairytale), which earned nationwide cinema exposure. Wortmann, a co-producer for Becker's work, tracked Jürgen Klinsmann and the German men's team through the patriotic rediscovery that the 2006 World Cup finals helped kindle.
Assessments of Die besten Frauen agree that the German women come across as more authentic, more accessible, than their male counterparts (see reviews in Der Spiegel and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and an interview with Becker in women's online magazine brikada). Part of Becker's mission was to learn about women who, to most Germans, remained a collection of anonymous personalities despite their World Cup title in the USA in 2003. Der Spiegel observes that, in contrast to blanket coverage of male footballers, Germans most likely had never seen a women's team sing the national anthem.
So, the viewer accompanies the players in intimate fashion on what FAZ correlates to a girls' class trip, albeit to a business-class hostelry with their own chef.
In an indication of some gender struggle within German society, defender Sonja Fuss tells filmmakers she played for a boys' team for a year under a false name. Midfielder Fatmire Bajramaj, a native Kosovar who as a girl also was forced to play soccer in secret, confesses to owning 30 pair of shoes. "Is it too much?" she wonders.
In the main, these footballers appear rooted in the real world, occupied with earning a living wage, which in most cases will not come through football, or with their studies. Striker Birgit Prinz states that life without sport brings languor, but nevertheless eschews the lure of power and money. "This is not what makes me happy." And, again, commenting on the interview and chat-show requests following the championship, "I do not want to live in such a society."
The urban life of Shanghai supplies part of the mise-en-scéne, with star goalkeeper Nadine Angerer learning that the country "is not only rice fields." Angerer's rivalry with and ultimate displacement of stalwart Silke Rottenberg helps create dramaturgy, according to Becker, as do samplings of cross-cultural gamesmanship: the pre-game fervor of Argentina in the first match and Brazil in the last.
In the end, Germany cruised through the six matches without allowing a goal. The biggest challenge may have come from one of the refereeing crews, who cautioned the German players on the length of their fingernails. Frantic manicures ensued.

Health and exercises
Exercise is the best way of keeping oneself healthy. People are afraid of exercises, because when the name comes, an image of great hardships is developed in the mind. No need to be worried; it is not so as depicted or perceived by people. Exercises are easy and a mode of entertainment, to remain fit and healthy, moreover, I am going to help you in this regard.

Stretching is another type of exercise which is very much helpful for the health.

The time duration of 20 to 30 minutes every day is enough to maintain your health.
The points are very much simple and gentle, which don`t require hard struggle and much time. First, however, concern the doctor that whether you are eligible for one exercise or not. Otherwise, it can also cause damage to your health as well.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Saying "we will respond to the threat of climate change," President Barack Obama used his second inaugural address to put the divisive issue back on the front burner. But according to a new national survey, Americans are divided over whether global warming is a man made phenomenon.
The president also used his speech to highlight the controversial issue of illegal immigration, and a CNN/ORC International survey released Tuesday also indicates that a bare majority of the public says the main focus of the federal government should be on developing a plan that would allow undocumented immigrants to become legal residents, rather than deporting them.
The president warned in his Monday address that failure to respond to climate change "would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms."
According to the poll, which was conducted last week, 49% agree with the White House that global warming is a proven fact and is due to emissions from cars, power plants and factories. That's twice as high as the number who say that global warming has not been proven, as well as the 24% who say that it is a proven fact but is not due to manmade sources. But the 49% figure is down seven points from 2007.
There's an expected partisan divide on the question, with two-thirds of Democrats saying global warming is man made. That number drops to 48% among independent voters and is at 28% among Republicans.
The president tried and failed in his first term to get a climate change bill through Congress. The president also came up empty during his first four years in the White House in trying to pass comprehensive illegal immigration reform though Congress.
But Obama has put the issue on his to-do list this year, and in his inaugural address he said "our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country."
By a 53%-43% margin, people questioned in the poll say that main focus of the federal government should be on developing a plan that would allow undocumented immigrants to become legal residents, rather than deporting them.
That's a switch from 2011, when by a 55%-42% margin, Americans said that deporting undocumented residents and stopping more of them from coming into the country should be the main focus of U.S policy on illegal immigration.
As expected, the poll indicates a partisan divide on the issue, as well as a generational divide, with younger people saying allowing undocumented immigrants to become legal should be the top priority, and a slight plurality of those 50 and older saying the emphasis should be on deportation and border security.
One of the president's biggest domestic accomplishments in his first term was passing a sweeping health care bill through Congress in 2010. In his inauguration address, Obama acknowledged that there is still much work ahead on this issue, saying "we must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care."
According to the poll, 51% favor all or most of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act, the official name of what many people refer to as "Obamacare," with 44% opposed to all or most of the provisions in the law.
"That's a switch from 2011, when a CNN poll indicated that a majority opposed all or most of the provisions in the health care bill," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
Minutes after his inauguration speech, the president signed documents making official his nominations for some top Cabinet posts, including former Sen. Chuck Hagel as defense secretary. The Nebraska Republican's nomination has been met with reservations, and even outright opposition, by some senators of both parties, who point to past positions he has taken on Israel, Iran and the war in Iraq.
According to the poll, 48% think the Senate should confirm Hagel.
"That's twice as high as the number who oppose his confirmation, but with three in ten uncertain of how they feel about the issue, the White House might breathe a little easier if support for Hagel were just over 50% rather than just under that mark," adds Holland.
The poll was conducted for CNN by ORC International on Jan. 14-15, with 814 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
