Wesley Snipes want to set the record straight about his recent conviction on tax charges.
The actor's camp issued a statement clarifying why he was sentenced to time behind bars.
"It continues to be misreported that Actor Wesley Snipes' convictions were for tax evasions when in fact it was failure to file returns," one of his reps said in a statement. "In a trial that lasted almost three weeks before an all white jury, [Wesley] was acquitted of all charges except three misdemeanors for failure to file."
Wesley was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison, and last week the government filed a motion that the court waive his bail and order him to report to lockup.
However, Wesley's legal team has now filed a motion to interview a juror who e-mailed the actor's defense attorney after the trial ended, which is prohibited even when a case is closed. The unidentified juror claimed that three of his peers had already made up their mind that Wesley was guilty before the defense got to plead its case.
Beyond that Ken Starr, a key witness in Wesley's tax case, was arrested and charged with fraud for executing a ponzi scheme on other celebrities including Sylvester Stallone and Uma Thurman. Ken was also Wesley's accountant, and it was argued that the actor had to leave Ken because he was one of those cheated. That lead him to seek tax representation elsewhere. But that's not all.
According to Wesley's camp, "It is believed that Starr was under investigation by the same agency that was prosecuting Snipes – at the same time he was testifying for the government against Snipes."

A kids' backyard playhouse and their arsenal of weapons plays on a granddad's memories
(Read article summary)A gaggle of grandkids used this playhouse; an arsenal of toy weapons made a granddad contemplate tearing it down.
Richard O'Mara
Bethany Beach, Del.
The house outside may be facing the end of its days. It presents a skeletal image now of what it once was. Only one wall remains, the one in the back; the roof is gone, probably blown off during a storm. This enabled the pines to deposit about an inch of their needles onto the floor, a mere four and a half feet square. Now, when the sun comes through the trees after a rain they shimmer like new copper, or a hoard of fool's gold.
It was to be Nicholas's retreat from the world of adults. His father, Pat, and I, built the thing on four posts, to hoist it about three feet off the ground, necessary in this low terrain so close to the sea. We attached a three-step ladder to get into it. When we finished we told Nick to share it with his younger brother, Stefan, my second grandchild, and with his cousins, my three other grandchildren, when they come down here to enjoy the beach with us. Nicholas, when he got a little further on in his life, didn't bother with it much. "It's for kids," said No. 1 Grandson, as he pushed off on his skate-board down the road toward the beach, lugging his surfboard.
Nick doesn't know that I identify him in my mind by a number. I got the idea from Charlie Chan, the fictional character in old movies, a Chinese American detective with a frozen, unhappy smile, yet operating effectively in an American milieu. He was like Confucius, wise and out of his time. Charlie called his first born "No. 1 Son," which suggests to me that he expected others would follow.
After Nick, came Stefan, No. 2 in our family; Lily followed as No. 3; then her brother Finnegan, No. 4, and finally No. 5, Lukas: what a talker! I don't tell any of these children about their numbers. I do it because it just helps me keep their names adhered to their faces.
They all played in and out of the house over the years, rough and loud sometime. Stefan, for instance, once took a hammer and a bag of nails and pounded them all into this playhouse; maybe he thought his father and grandfather had built a rickety unstable retreat. We didn't.
One of Stefan's siblings, bright Finnegan, suggested that all those nails might draw lightening our way. Stefan gave thought to that, and the next time I saw him with the hammer in his hand he was sitting on the ground breaking up a concrete block. Why? Maybe he felt a need to create something: rubble, perhaps.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginHYDRA engineer: JackhammerJackhammer was a HYDRA engineer that helped build one of their secret headquarters when Silvermane was in charge. Silvermane and some of his HYDRA division specialist including El Jaguar, Blackwing, the Dreadnought, Mentallo and Man-Killer just captured Foggy Nelson, Daredevil and the Black Widow. Silvermane wanted to set a trap for Nick Fury and hope to crush SHIELD once their great leader was destroyed. Fury, Dum Dum Dugan, Contessa Valentina Fontaine and several SHIELD agents were seen on the monitor walking into one of their warehouses laced with explosives. Silvermane activated a switch and the entire warehouse blew up. The bad guys believed they won and started to gloat when Foggy was able to free Daredevil and Tasha during the distraction. Nick Fury appeared unscathed and told Silvermane that they destroyed some Life Model Decoys in the warehouse. A fight ensued and Jackhammer appeared, blaming Daredevil for the destruction of his architectural wonder. Jackhammer attempted to crush the man without fear with his metal gauntlets but Daredevil made quick work of him with a single punch.CreationJackhammer was created by Tony Isabella and Bob Brown in 1975 and first appeared in Daredevil # 123.Story ArcsJackhammer is seen years later quarreling with Poundcakes on the streets during a date between Steve Rogers and Rachel Leighton. Poundcakes was upset that her wrestling superstar reputation would be tarnished if she let a two bit thug like Jackhammer hit on her in public. Steve Rogers wanted to intervene because of the property damage these two could cause but things got under control when several of Rachel's girlfriends from the Serpent Society decided to help. A limo stopped right in front of the ruckus and Anaconda appeared wearing a large trenchcoat. Anaconda grabbed the couple and took them into the limo where they got zapped by Asp.Power ToolsJackhammer would reappear with Buzz-Saw and Drill as members of the Power Tools. The Power Tools would come into conflict with Battlestar when he meets his former business manager named Ethan Thurm inside a cheap motel. Battlestar noticed that Jackhammer and the rest of the Power Tools had augmented strength but was forced to surrender when Jackhammer captured Ethan Thurm. The Power Tools placed their captives inside a van and took them to a warehouse in Los Angeles. Battlestar ended up shackled to adamantium cuffs in a room with other wrestlers including Red Zeppelin. The Power Tools were kidnapping former clients who went through the strength augmentation process provided by the Power Broker and Ethan Thurm was targeted because he had some wrestlers under his employ. Doctor Karl Malus was de-augmenting these subjects to help find a cure for Curtiss Jackson that was muscle bound and forced to wear a power harness. Battlestar's superhuman physique was taken away but he received some help from his partner, the US Agent when he discovered the hidden laboratory. Jackhammer and the rest of the Power Tools engaged the US Agent in battle but they were easily defeated.Infinity WarJackhammer later became a member of the Masters of Evil being led by Dr. Octopus who plotted to storm the Avengers Mansion. Many of the heroes on Earth were occupied because of the Infinity War that was taking place and Dr. Octopus wanted to invade the mansion so he can steal their advanced weaponry and machinery. The initial group of Dr. Octopus, Jackhammer, Titania, Absorbing Man, Powderkeg and Yellowjacket met resistance from the Guardians of the Galaxy. Jackhammer would engage Major Victory in battle but is taken down with a shield throw.Union Jack: London FallingNew costumeJackhammer would don a new costume and join a terrorist organization called RAID with other super criminals where they strategically strike numerous locations in London. Jackhammer, Jack O' Lantern and Shockwave cause some havoc inside the Thames Tunnel where they terrorize numerous civilians trying to flee from the carnage. Jackhammer stands above a subway car and starts pounding the wall above him until water starts gushing into the tunnels. Jack O' Lantern was afraid the wall was gonna collapse on them but Jackhammer reassured his teammate that he studied the tunnel's original construction to when it was reinforced years priors. Jackhammer kept pounding until more water started pouring in. Jackhammer would receive an unexpected surprise when a hand emerged from the water and grabbed his neck. Union Jack sprung out of the hole and knocked out Jackhammer with a left punch.Powers & AbilitiesJackhammer has augmented strength and stamina. He also wears a suit equipped with two metal jackhammers attached to each wrist gauntlet. Jackhammer also has a Masters Degree in Engineering.

Coca-Cola fell to third place after holding the top spot for 13 years.
Apple, whose iconic products such as the iPhone, iPod and iPad have changed the global technology landscape, has been named the world's most valuable company.
The tech giant saw its brand value soar 28 percent to $98.3 billion in 2013, according to a report released Monday by Interbrand, a brand consulting company owned by the Omnicom Group.
Google ranked second at $93.3 billion, while the Coca-Cola name slipped from the top spot after 13 years to third place at $79.2 billion.
The annual report ranks 100 companies that have a presence in at least three major continents and publicly available financial information.
A company's value is determined by its financial performance and brand loyalty.
"Every so often, a company changes our lives -- not just with its products, but with its ethos," Interbrand Chief Executive Jez Frampton said in a statement.
Apple CEO "Tim Cook has assembled a solid leadership team and has kept Steve Jobs' vision intact -- a vision that has allowed Apple to deliver on its promise of innovation time and time again."
Apple's growing brand value has coincided with a slide in the company's share price as investors fret over slowing sales and profit growth.

20. 20
Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit! We were so CLOSE!
I'm going to kill her. I don't care if she IS over ten thousand years my junior, I'm going to cut her stupid head off.
The moment's broken; I see the look of frustration on his face, see how it fell. He drops his forehead to my collarbone, I hear him mutter, "Bugger."
Bloody hell. That's torn it.
Fuck – I was so CLOSE! Can't blurt it out now, mate; better wait for a more suitable moment.
All right; we're naked, we're sticky, I'm wearing thigh-high stockings and boots, and the bedroom door's wide open. Nuts!
"Dorcas!" I yell. "Don't come in yet!"
I can hear voices, whispering in the living room, then she calls back, her voice thick with humor:
"Are you in the bedroom AGAIN?"
"More like 'still,' Ducky," Legolas calls out. There's an explosion of girlish giggling and more whispering. Legolas pauses, head cocked, eyes abstracted, listening; can he actually hear what they're saying way out there? Obviously the answer is "yes," because suddenly he puts his dimples on display and yells, "No, just GIVE us a moment, will yer?"
Another burst of high-pitched laughter; I hear Dorcas say, "Okay, okay! Sheesh!"
Little twerps.
Ah, well . . . I'll work it in sometime today, I swear I will. Can't do it now, obviously.
Fuck, I need a lollie . . .
Odd. What I was so reluctant to do seems urgent to me now that I've been thwarted in doing it. Isn't that always the fucking case!
Right, then. More post-adolescent mingers to give me the look-over. Well, I'll just remember not to wear the –
FUCK! Where are my FUCKING LEATHER TROUSERS?
Let's see, I was wearing them at the nightclub – and in the parking lot – then –
Oh, bugger. And then . . .
Might as well pull a dress on or something; I've managed to keep the boots and stockings on, seems a waste to take them off. Let 'em wonder.
I hate pulling out of his embrace, but it's very hard to get dressed with arms wrapped around your back. Let's see, what have I got in my closet that'll work? Oh yeah, I got that great Armani dress, that'd work with the boots –
"Éowyn," says Legolas behind me; his voice sounds funny. I look at him. He's kneeling on the bed, long white hands resting on his thighs; buck-naked, silky-haired, blue-eyed and gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous, but he's got the strangest expression on his face . . .
"Where are me leather trousers?"
Um. Good question. I look around the room, as though they'll jump out from under the bed and yell, "Here I am! Whee!" like we were playing hide-and-seek. No, I don't think they're in here; hard to hide something like that. Let's see, he was wearing them last night . .
"I had 'em on at the nightclub," he says carefully.
Oh yeah, I remember him leaving in them, remember watching that delectable ass bunching and contracting and filling the backside . . . "Yes."
"But – was I – was I still wearing 'em when I – when they – brought me back?" He asks this carefully, like he's afraid to talk about it. His fingers tighten, his eyes flicker, glance away from mine, then return, subdued, the light in them fading.
My eyes are drawn to the chair by the side of the bed, where I spent all those hours staring at him. Hard wooden chair, ornate scrollwork on the back, distressed white finish and painted roses to match that horrible pink dining room. Hell yes, I remember exactly what he was wearing.
"Yes," I say.
Fuck, her voice got all thick and chokey. Fuck. And she's got her eyes glued to that fucking chair. Don't know what significance it has but obviously I've bloody well brought back a bad memory. Nice going, Leggsie, nice fucking thing to do. Shit, I'm such a bloody stupid gobshite! Fuck, shit, bugger!
I try to think, try to remember what I did when I came back. I was lying there, I saw Grim, I looked at him through my hand –
-- wait –
What did Manwë tell me, "Shake off this old husk"? I did, I felt myself shrug out of my body like it was an old cardie, it slid back, burned away, vanished –
I was naked --
Oh, fuck –
"Acushla!" he exclaims, I tear my eyes away from the damned chair and look at him. His eyes are bright, present, oh god he's here, he's not gone any more, there's no need to cry any more. "Me shoulder – me tattoo – is it there? I can't fucking see it!" He's twisting his torso around, looking behind him, trying to turn so he can see his back in the mirror.
Hard not to look at him anyway, when he's shifting and flexing all those lovely lean muscles beneath his marble-white skin; he's turning his head, lifting his right arm, straining to look at a place even Elves aren't flexible enough to manage. The skin is smooth, pale, flawless –
Well, I'll be –
"No," I say, I walk up to him and touch the spot where it was. Warm, velvety skin; I can feel the muscles tighten and flex beneath my palm. But where the script flowed over the back of the shoulder it's bare, untouched, as though the skin is brand new.
Which, now I think about it, makes sense. The old body had to be got rid of somehow, didn't it? Nice thought – he traded in his old body on a new one.
Boy, talk about me getting the best of both worlds! Same old sex god in my bed, but a brand new body to play with! Wow, this resurrection thing keeps getting better and better.
"It's gone. And the clothes you were wearing are gone."
He sits back on his heels, looks up at me with a wry, wistful expression.
"Well, fuck," he says.
"Fuck" indeed. No more ogling my Elven Ass in leather pants . . .
That lovely red lip pouts out, she's looking down at my jacksie like she's willing it to be covered in black leather. Poor acushla . . .
" 'S'all right, luv," I say, put my arms round her waist and bury my face in her tits, those lovely creamy soft tits. "I'll buy a new pair. Have to be a bit roomier round front, though – too fucking tight in the willy region, when I'm with you." I grin up at her from between her jugs. "Never was a problem before we hooked up, you know, acushla."
Her hands are in my hair, soft sweet gentle hands, letting it slide and fall through her fingers. "As long as it's tight around the back, that's fine," she says, and presses my cheek up against her.
Ah . . . fucking paradise, this is. View's not bad either – got a perky little nipple right in my line of sight.
Well, damn . . . better get him to the store as soon as possible. I'm going through withdrawal here.
Leather Pants D.T.s – I'm sure there's some sort of medical term for that, isn't there?
"You'll have to wear jeans today, I guess," I admit reluctantly. Though come to think of it, I've only ever seen him in cut-off shorts and those yummy black leather pants. "Um – you do have jeans, don't you?"
" 'Course I do," he says, pulling back and kissing my belly. Man, I'd love those lips to be elsewhere, but . . . Dorcas and Cyndi-with-an-I are out there, lurking about the kitchen and no doubt waiting to hear us get it on again. Damn! "Put me kit in yer chest of drawers – didn't notice?"
"No," I say. That's not really surprising; it's not as though I go rooting through my dresser drawers all the time, and just about everything I bought yesterday needed to be hung in the closet.
Speaking of, I don't think the Armani dress will quite fit the early-morning-post-fuck tone . . . oh well, I'll just have to take the boots off. Starting to get a little sweaty in there, anyway. Jeans and a tank top would probably do.
"You'd better wear a tee shirt, too," I say, sit down on the bed beside him and unzip my Fendis. "You need to hide your shoulder. Remember, Dorcas and Cyndi asked about the tattoo yesterday morning."
"Oh, right," he says, but he doesn't sound like he's paying attention. What on earth has distracted him? He's staring at me as I --
Oh. That's why.
Oh, fuck, those two-klick legs . . .
. . . and thigh high stockings and black leather boots, like fucking icing on the cake. My sainted aunt, I'm practically fucking drooling.
Nice to know the new me works the same as the old one.
Shit, better rein him in before things get out of hand again. Is he going to be this horny ALL the time? The next several millennia are going to be very interesting . . . I pull back, slide off the stockings and go to my dresser.
Oh please, please, acushla, get your kecks on quick or I'll knob you right here . . .
"Behave yourself," she says firmly, looking back at me over her shoulder. Fuck, she's a bloody bit of all right – look at that long lean back, that adorable arse, and those oh bloody hell those legs –
Oh yeah, bend over like that again – that way I can see your – oh fuck, she's getting dressed. Bugger.
Hmm. Nice pants, though – love the G-string.
Hope he likes these panties – I certainly paid enough for them.
Well, technically HE paid enough for them. So he'd BETTER like them. I love the way they feel – heavy, with those chains criss-crossing on the front, and the little rivets around the backside. I thought it appropriate, considering he's a biker.
Never thought I'd see Éowyn in underclothes that looked like they just came off the line at the Harley plant . . . bet she did that on purpose, the sweet little bit.
Fuck. Getting a little excited here. Better find some clothes or we'll be treating Ducky and her mates to another fucking free show.
Not a nice fucking concept, oh no indeed. I mean, exhibitionism's pretty bleeding nice in a small way, but having it off with the fucking rent-girl watching? Give over; there are some things that are better when kept between two people. Don't mind the lads sharking her, but to think of one of our mates watching me slide into her –
OH bloody hell, stop thinking about it stop thinking about it stop it stop it fucking STOP IT! Lumme, you'd think after two goes in one hour I'd be ready for a little pause in the action, but oh fucking A . . .
I think this new body's even randier than the last one. My sainted aunt, would I love to lock the fucking bedroom door and have it away for the rest of the bloody morning.
But Ducky and Poppet might get a tad squidgy, poor things . . . ah, well. And we still need to find a place of our own, leave the pink house in Ducky's care. If we don't move out soon we'll be permanently afflicted with Dorcas Interruptus.*
Time to suss out the real estate out west. Now I think about it, Montana's quite lovely this time of year . . .
Well, I know he's not crazy about me wearing a bra, so I'll forget about that and just pull a tank top on. Good thing I have plenty of –
Hold on a second there; wasn't expecting his hand on my ass, how the hell does he move so quietly, dammit? I didn't even SEE him!
When I turn to him he looks a little surprised. Might have something to do with my jumping a mile high when I felt him touch me. "Sorry, acushla," he says, brushes his mouth across mine. "Didn't mean to give yer the abdabs."
"That's okay; you just startled me, that's all," I say. Damn, my heart's beating fast; run silent run deep indeed –
Note to self: Never play hide-and-seek with Legolas. The leather pants are probably a lot less stealthy.
Oh shit, cut that out; now that thin warm hand is sliding around my left cheek, curving and flexing in –
stop it stop it stop it
Oh acushla, I heard that sharp intake of breath; give you something to fucking think about I will – not terribly nice of me but then, not a terribly nice little pikey, am I?
Find that hot damp crack, slide my finger into it . . .
oh shit, he's paying me back for teasing him
she flinches, eyes drop, hands clutch back at my wrist.
"Stop it," she whispers, looks up at me through those thick black lashes, oh my acushla you are so lovely . . .
What was it she said to me before, when I told her to quit mucking about with my ear? "Make me," I whisper.
Now, let's see how she likes it when I pay a little attention to HERS . . .
His head lowers, his face in my hair, his nose nuzzling the curls apart, oh shit the hot breath gusting around my ear –
Ooooh, those Power Fuzzies are conferring with the Hot Pricklies and they've decided it might be a good idea to start a dance hall in my abdomen
He's tracing the outline of my ear with his tongue
I think the Fuzzies and Pricklies have reached an agreement, got a pretty good remix of Destiny's Child going on in there, oh shit
She droops in my arms, her eyelids flutter shut. I can see her heartbeat pulsing in the little dent in her collarbone, can practically watch the slow blush of her cheeks . . .
All right, think I've fucking made my point already.
Speaking of points –
Down, boy!
That's the fucking trouble with teasing – makes the giver as bloody randy as the receiver.
That warm, that nimble, that strong hand glides up my ass to my back; can feel lips on my ear, my throat, my cheek, oh that's so soft and gentle, so sexy, I'm melting –
Did he just SMACK ME ON THE ASS?!
There – that ought to bloody well get her back out of the mood.
She jerks back, eyes fly open, mouth drops, rubs her arse with one hand. Oh fuck, I'm grinning, I can't help it –
"What the hell was that for?" she demands. She twists, looks round at her backside. "Shit, you've left a fucking handprint on my ass!"
"That's fer bein' a right cock-tease, acushla," I say, and brace myself.
Dammit, that STUNG! Better rub it to make the pain go away – there we are, it's fading, now it's all tingly and . . . and warm . . .
Oh, shit. I was right. I AM kinky.
Shit, shit, shit!
Right, then, I'm ready, acushla, go on and banjo me, I'm ready –
Wait –
She turns back, silver eyes contemplative, pretty red lips curving upward, still rubbing her arse.
Dammit, he's pretty when he's nasty. I love how his eyes darken, love that almost cruel curve to his mouth . . . he's obviously waiting for me to smack him back, but you know what? I don't think I will.
"Well, then, I'll have to be a cock-tease more often," I say calmly, and pull out a pair of blue jeans.
Feels funny to slide them on over that tingly prickly hot spot; I wonder if he left a mark?
Fucking A. Will this woman EVER stop gobsmacking me?
Bugger it, I hope not.
He's grinning, the cocky little shit. Well, what the hell do I care? At least he's here to smack my butt – that's a big fucking improvement over a couple of hours ago, when there was no one within a square mile who'd even CONSIDER it.
I hear some banging and clattering in the kitchen. We both turn to the door, then look at each other; he looks regretful, almost apologetic.
Manky little kifes, wish they'd bloody well take themselves off . . .
Éowyn looks as though she's thinking the same thing. Can practically fucking read her mind in those starry grey eyes – "knob me knob me knob me" – well, acushla, I bloody well would if we were alone in this fucking pink house, but we're not, so . . .
Now for a spot of brekky. Time, too; I'm awfully peckish.
"I'd better get out there," I say, though what I REALLY want to say is, "Throw me on the floor and fuck me senseless!" Not sure which would be worse, if he said yes or no.
"Right," he sighs, pulls a pair of very disreputable jeans out of one of my dresser drawers. Where the hell did he get those, and how old are they, anyway? Look like Noah could've worn them, for pete's sake. He shakes them out – I'm surprised the rivets don't fall off – and slides one long leg in.
Wait – he's not wearing any underwear?
I better get out of here fast. Nothing like Legolas going commando to get my heart rate up. AGAIN. I can just imagine his cock and balls, soft and warm, sliding around against the denim . . . I unzip, slide my hand in . . .
Okay, I DEFINITELY need to get out of here. And take a cold shower. Or something.
Bloody hell, she scarpered fast.
Let's see – what the fuck can I make for breakfast? Got some eggs left, not enough, some rashers . . . leftover bread, can make toast . . .
Fuck, my stomach's growling. Feels like ten fucking thousand years since I ate last. Wonder if Éowyn's hungry?
I can feel that itchy tickly prickly spot on my ass every time I take a step and the denim rubs against it. Dammit, how does he DO that? Little bastard.
Well, not so little. But still.
I probably look like something the cat dragged in. Better try to straighten my hair out . . . I round the corner to the kitchen. Dorcas and Cyndi-with-an-I are rummaging around in the fridge, and their Close Mutual Friend Tanya the Wonder Twat is drinking a glass of my orange juice. Dammit, that stuff is fresh-squeezed! If you've filched all my juice you'll damn well go buy me another bottle! Shit, I can't afford to feed every stupid little twit that –
Oh, wait. I CAN afford it now. Damn, so hard to go from being stingy to letting people take what they want . . . well, anyway, Tanya the Wonder Twat works at a clothing store in the mall and probably only makes minimum wage anyway – this is most likely the best orange juice she'll have in months. I shouldn't begrudge her that.
I begrudge her that fucking awful outfit, though. What the hell is she thinking, wandering around San Dimas at eight A.M. with a red faux-leather minidress on? Looks like something out of one of the more racy episodes of Rockford Files. The bleach-blonde look doesn't add much to the mix either.
All right, I know; bitchy bitchy bitchy. Not like the poor thing knows any better at this stage – she's what, nineteen? And I think I recall Cyndi-with-an-I telling me once her dad left them when she was two and her mother's turned out to be a real slut. Give her the benefit of the doubt already – chances are she thinks she looks perfectly acceptable.
Though I wish Dorcas would give her the heads-up about the blue eyeliner. Nasty stuff.
"Good morning!" I say brightly. All three of them turn around, eyes wide; what the hell's up with that?
"Win – Éowyn!" squeaks Dorcas, straightening up with a jar of mayonnaise in her hand. "I thought – um – " She blushes, looks at her feet.
"What?" I ask. What's so embarrassing about me walking into the kitchen? I'm dressed, aren't I? Better take a quick inventory – jeans, tank top – nipples showing? Well, a little bit but not too bad – yep, I'm dressed, so what's the problem?
"We thought you'd be, um, entertaining your new boyfriend for a while," grins Cyndi-with-an-I; her cheeks are pink too, but as she's a little bolder than my roomie I guess she feels more confident about explaining.
Well, I guess I can't really blame them. After all, isn't that what Legolas and I have been doing the past day and a half? Precedent . . . I shrug. "We're getting hungry," I say off-handedly, head to the cabinets. I REALLY need some coffee . . . "Have a nice night? Where'd you stay, anyway?"
"They crashed at my place and watched a movie," says Tanya. She's put the glass down, looks a little self-conscious; guess she figured she could lift my juice with me none the wiser.
"Oh, good, thanks," I say. "Anyone else want some coffee? I didn't get any sleep last night and I need a mega-dose of caffeine." There's a desultory murmur of agreement; might as well make a full pot. "What movie?"
Dorcas and Cyndi exchange glances. "When Harry Met Sally," grins Cyndi. "In your honor, of course." She opens the fridge again and digs out a block of cheddar.
Well, I'll be damned. "Really!" I say, look at them. They're both smiling at me. Well – I guess it is kind of appropriate. "Okay – thanks, I think." Damn, now I'm blushing! Better get this coffee started . . .
"Didn't get any sleep? Why, were you up all night?" asks the Wonder Twat. Well, no shit, Sherlock; obviously if I didn't get any sleep I was up all night. Duh!
"Did you have a good time with all your friends?" asks Dorcas. She opens a loaf of sandwich bread.
"Up to a point, I guess," I say. Shit, it's hard to explain, and I don't really want to lie, but –
I feel him before I hear him; I know he's just walked in, though his feet make no noise padding on the tile. As I turn I see the Wonder Twat's eyes widen and mouth drop open.
Hah! You can't have him, nyah nyah nyah!
Fuck, what a lovely sight, Éowyn's arse in those tight tight jeans . . .
And oh, the smell of coffee. Could I bloody well use a cup.
Lumme, who's the slag in the red dress? My sainted aunt, where'd they pick up this scrubber? Close your mouth, dearie; you'll get drool all over the nice clean tile.
"Mornin', Ducky, Poppet," I say. Fuck, it feels good to stretch; makes me wish I was a cat; extend those muscles, love the warm burning feeling. "Who's yer mate?"
"Oh! Um, Legs, this is Tanya," says Poppet. Fuck, still has that shag-me-quick look on her face. I shake hands with the little minger – leave it out; purple finger-nail polish; how much do you charge for a bunk-up? Staring at me, too, like she wants to eat me. Ugh! Fucking nasty thought. Better stake my claim quick and settle who's sharking whom.
But first – a lollie. Yeah, there's the fucking bag, right where I left it. Ah, my lovely acushla, bought me Chupa-Chups – closest thing to a gourmet lollie you can get, here.
Dee-lish. Think this one's cherry. Fucking sexy flavor, anyway.
He sidles up to me, winds an arm around my waist, pulls me up close. Love the body heat; love the tickly swishy hair around my bare shoulders; love that smell – pungent, piney, clean. I tip my face up to his.
Oh thank heaven, he took the hint – mm, nice, soft lips, brushing over mine, fingers tightening on my hip, the smell of clean clothes and hot Elf.
Oh, and the taste of artificial cherry – that's kind of nice, too.
Whoops. Closed my eyes. Oh well, I'll just have to guess how much coffee I put in the filter . . .
That sweet warm mouth leaves mine, I feel his hand give my waist a quick squeeze before he turns, leans that gorgeous ass against the counter next to me. I wonder why he's got his arms crossed? Usually a sign of defensiveness – then again, seeing the way those three are scoping him out, I don't blame him for feeling a little hounded. I dump in the water and turn on the coffee maker.
"How're you two kifes today?" he asks casually around his lollipop. I can see his eyes moving, taking in everything in the kitchen – protecting his territory, I guess.
All right, Ducky, it's okay if you make a sandwich in my kitchen, but mind you don't dull the knife – and oh fuck, please Poppet, don't slice the cheese on the fucking countertop, use a cutting board! Bloody hell, it's like they're bleeding idiots when it comes to food preparation.
"We've got a concert up at the Greek this afternoon – Moody Blues," says Dorcas. "It's open seating so we need a picnic lunch for while we're waiting."
And you're making fucking cheese sandwiches? Give over; I can do better than that . . . " Collectin' a nosebag, are you? Take some leftover veal, pets; better than cheese anyway."
"He means, pack our leftovers from last night for your lunch," says Éowyn calmly. Yeah, that's right; need a fucking translator if I'm going to live with all these seppos. Lumme, what's it going to be like in the fucking wilderness when we get our ranch going? Not a bleeding gobshite's going to know what the fuck I'm saying. I look at her, all long golden limbs, topaz hair and mirrored eyes – oh fuck, oh bugger, what an absofuckinglutely bit of crumpet she is . . . be my voice, my mouth; say what I mean, acushla, none of these fucking Yanks know what the fuck I'm talking about.
"Oh, okay, thanks," says Ducky, and goes back to the ice box.
Poppet's looking at me, horny little tosser she is, says, "Kind of a shame you're actually dressed this time."
Little cunt, I'll shove her face in the toilet, scoping out my Elf like that.
Oooh, my acushla looks brassed; better diffuse this before it gets out of hand.
"Yeah, pet, seems like every time you come in I've got me trousers off," I say, curl my arm round Éowyn's waist again. She's stiff, doesn't think it's a great piss-take there. That's all right, acushla; just a little while and we'll be alone again. Think! The Moody Blues – got to get to that venue early; don't want all the good seats to be taken, now, do we?
Come on, won't you guys just LEAVE already? Geez louise, the Moody Blues; you have to get to the Greek early to get good seats . . . though I admit getting there at nine AM might be kind of overkill.
It's nice, though, knowing these three don't do a damn thing for him. I can feel his hand, playing with my side, drifting down my hips, can feel his hair tickling my shoulder, his wonderful heady scent fill my nostrils . . .
Oh, why can't they just TAKE OFF???
Now they're laughing, the stupid little twats, all three of them with their eyes drifting all over him – his pelvis in particular – well, too bad, you horny little twerps; that mushroom is all MINE.
"I know Éowyn stayed up all night," says Dorcas, putting the bread back in the fridge and taking out the Tupperware full of veal. "How late did you stay up, Legs?"
All right then, be careful here . . .
Oh shit, what's he going to say? He can't lie, after all . . .
"I dunno, pet," I say. Think think think, how can I make this sound right? Oh yeah – "Can't remember nothin' past about two; woke up in the lounge."
Right as rain, mate; holed it in one! They all laugh, think it's a right cod.
Oh, he's GOOD.
"Must've been a great party," laughs Ducky. I look at Éowyn. Well . . . fuck, it really wasn't, was it? Began well, but oh my sainted aunt did it go down the piss hole after that.
A great party? Well, if you don't count the malediction by the Valar, the hunting down of my ex, the death of my Elf, the six hours of LIVING FUCKING HELL, sure, I guess you could say it was a good party.
He's looking at me, blue eyes intense; almost as though he's daring me to crack in front of these little dimwits. No fucking way. These poor little twerps, life is hard enough; why scare them with pronouncements of doom and disaster?
"You can damn sure say that again," I say, with just the right inflection, so that they think it was such a freaking good time we can't even remember it.
Good answer, acushla. Oh, well done.
They laugh. They bought it. And they're at the age now where they think if you can't remember a party, it must've been good, Q.E.D. Alcohol consumption equals fun, right?
Well, that's done then. And now – time for some fucking brekky. About to faint, I'm so bloody peckish.
"Going to have some brekky – breakfast, I mean?" Better watch myself; remember, Legs, no one understands you here. I slide my arm from around Éowyn's waist and head to the ice box. Might as well suss out the eggs and rashers.
"Oh, we already ate," says Poppet.
Pukka! We can nobble it all to ourselves! Hide your smirk, no need to let them know you're happy as Larry they're buggering off. Five eggs and rashers, all to ourselves! Fucking wicked!
WHOOPEE! I know we only have about a half dozen eggs, and I don't feel like sharing!
Especially not with these guys. Gimli or Lothíriel would be one thing, but –
Oh, shit! I was supposed to call them!
"Oh, shit!"
I turn to Éowyn; her eyes are wide and she's biting her lip.
I'd rather bite it myself . . .
All right, leave it out, mate, settle down . . .
"What?" I ask. I take out the eggs, the rashers, some butter. Eggs fried in butter – oh, fuck yeah, they slide down so nice –
Bugger, I AM hungry. What's it been, almost twelve hours? Fucking hell, you'd think I'd never put a scrap of food in this stomach.
Oh, wait – I haven't.
"I was supposed to call – " Okay, can't use her full name, too many weird names for them to assimilate – need to use a nickname; what was it again? Oh yeah " – Lottie and let her know – " Let her know what? Careful here " – that we're up."
Excellent! Wonderful digression; these soppy nits won't suss that out.
Although – well, fucking hell, as soon as she calls Lottie, the whole crew shows up to see me. Seem to recall there being a bit of an exodus there, when everything was blue-white and I couldn't quite focus –
Bugger. Guess I won't get my third piss-proud shag of the morning. Fuck.
"Well, give her a ring, then," I say. Bloody hell, bet Grim and Whitey are browned off; better let them slag me or they'll go spare. "Not enough kippers for everyone, though. Tell 'em to feed themselves."
Fuck. So much for an empty house, just me and my acushla . . .
Bugger, now I think of it, not going to have an empty house all day. Because once Ducky and Poppet and the Manky Slag leave, everyone else shows up and it's bye-bye roger. Damn!
Won't be able to – to tell her, either. Running out of time, here. What's it been, thirty-six hours? Need to tell her need to tell her need to tell her –
"Okay," I say, and head to the phone. Well, so much for spending the rest of the morning exploring all the sensual nuances of his new body –
Oh, stop being so selfish, you bitchy Shieldmaiden, you. They mourned him too. It's only fair they get to see him back to being his normal potty-mouthed self.
Let's see, Merry wrote the number of the Marriott down on a little sticky-note – here it is – and their room numbers, let's see, Éomer and Lothíriel are 205 . . .
Before I can dial Legolas says, "Oi!"
We all turn to him. He's standing in the middle of the kitchen, long blond hair, bright blue eyes, long legs and perfect face, bright red glossy lollipop in one hand, but his expression is determined, stubborn.
Now what?
Do it do it do it do it! Quick quick quick you grotty oik before you bottle out!
She's looking at me, my eyes have gone all wonky, can only see her – I know the other three are here, but it's a black tunnel leading to her, I can see only her – tall, slim, poised, confident, beautiful; my Shieldmaiden, my acushla, my Éowyn.
Say it. Even if you just fucking blurt it out, mate, it's better than making her wait any longer.
"I kept meaning to tell you and couldn't," I say, "I'll say it now before I can get interrupted again. Éowyn, I love you; will you marry me?"
Holy shit.
My mind just went blank. I think I must've dropped the phone; I heard something go thunk. Maybe it was my jaw.
It must've been my jaw because my mouth won't work. Oh shit, isn't this what you've been wanting forever? Say something say something say something! He's going to think I'm the world's biggest jerk if I don't say something immediately, he's going to think I don't want him, can't tell him I love him back, and I DO love him, I love him I love him but my mouth is numb and I can't SAY ANYTHING!!!
My sainted aunt, you can see it in her face. I've never seen that look before, not directed to me, anyway. Holy fucking shit, the Shieldmaiden loves me. She doesn't even need to say anything, I can just see it.
And the other three little mingers? They just melt and say, "Awwwww," their voices creeping up the register to a squeak.

Residents in Inyo, Mono and Eastern Kern counties have an opportunity to tell Internet providers what kinds of service they receive, if any, and what kinds of services they would like to see in the area. The Desert Mountain Resource Conservation and Development Council recently launched an Eastern Sierra Connect broadband survey. The survey aims to help identify the unserved and underserved communities in Inyo, Mono and Eastern Kern counties that need broadband Internet connectivity and the broadband technologies that might be appropriate and affordable to residents and businesses.

(Oct. 29th blog challenge –> A DAY IN THE LIFE)
I worked and then went to see Echosmith at Higher Ground tonight. Just a 'meh' show – I only knew the Cool Kids song – but my pre-concert beverage was delicious! My parents brought me up a juicer for my birthday and this is the first go-around I've had with it. It's an assortment of things that I already had in the fridge. The spinach didn't get juiced too well…..but I loved the carrot/apple/lemon flavors.

Bank of America, MBIA Death Match Hurts Both: Moody's
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -A legal battle between Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) and MBIA (MBI - Get Report) has negative implications for creditors of both companies, according to a report published Monday by Moody's Investors Service.
MBIA wants to tear up some $6 billion in insurance it wrote for Bank of America, arguing it was based on misrepresentations made by the bank's Countrywide Financial mortgage unit in the runup to the 2008 subprime crisis. Bank of America has countered by challenging MBIA's efforts to legally separate its MBIA Insurance Corp. unit, which wrote the subprime mortgage guarantees, from its healthier municipal insurance business, called National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation.
In the latest salvoes between the two companies, MBIA has attempted to amend the terms of certain of its bonds to prevent a potential default by MBIA Insurance from causing a cross-default by the parent company, requiring it to accelerate all its bond payments. Bank of America is attempting to block this maneuver, by offering to buy up the relevant MBIA bonds for $330 million, versus their previous market value of $200 million, according to Moody's.
The Bank of America offer is negative for Bank of America bondholders because it exposes the bank to additional credit risk from MBIA, according to Moody's. On the other hand, Moody's observes that Bank of America creditors would ultimately benefit from Bank of America's strategy if it forces MBIA into accepting a smaller settlement from Bank of America over the subprime mortgage insurance dispute.
MBIA creditors, meanwhile, would be negatively impacted if Bank of America succeeds in blocking the company's move to isolate credit risk at MBIA Insurance. That's because MBIA's parent company, and its healthier municipal bond insurance unit would be exposed to a default by MBIA Insurance. Further, it might lead to a smaller settlement, which would hurt capital and liquidity at MBIA Insurance, according to Moody's. Despite the Moody's report, shares of both Bank of America, which got an upgrade from Stifel Nicolaus and MBIA were higher in early trading on Monday. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

the ps3 will be great , i want devil may cry 4 and killzone when it comes out
1st Sig finished 12-20-09
no offense, but the XBox 360 is a piece of crap...
too much flair and pizazz, not enough style
I'd rather go with the PS3
or if you want quality, there's the Nintendo Revolution
Nintendo has never made a crappy system in their career
(aside from the Virtual Boy lol)
I love my girlfriend.
Im with dnangel on this one the xbox 360 is way better than the ps3 i mean the xbox 360 has way more things to offer its a media center as well
92% of teens moved to rap. if u are part of the 8% that rock out every day, put this on your sig!!!!
waiting on the nintendoReV and ps3. But i don't think im going to buy one as soon as they come out.

America's Best Beach Boardwalks
STAY AT HOTEL BPM BROOKLYN: This hipster haven embodies the Brooklyn renaissance with edgy decor and Frette linens; hotelbpmbrooklyn.com.
STAY AT LAMIE'S INN: A five-minute drive from the boardwalk, this family-run (and pet- friendly) inn has been around since the late 1950s; lamiesinn.com.
STAY AT WALKABOUT BEACH RESORT: This throwback to the 1940s flaunts Florida Art Moderne architecture on the shore; walkaboutbeachresort.com.
STAY AT THE BELLMOOR INN & SPA: Two blocks from the beach, The Bellmoor's European decor lends the place a bygone feel; thebellmoor.com.
Long before Disney, there was Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk—California's original amusement park and still one of the best. Launched in 1907, the boardwalk has meticulously preserved its bygone ways. Whether it's corn dogs and cotton candy or wooden roller coasters and screechy bumper cars, this stretch of sand 90 minutes south of San Francisco is like stepping into one of those old Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello movies. Must-stops along the path include Momo's Beach Shack, and Olitas Cantina & Grill for a margarita and fish tacos. As daylight fades, the Giant Dipper roller coaster offers an unforgettable view of the sunset over Monterey Bay.
STAY AT DREAM INN: This swank property sits right on the beach at one end of the boardwalk, with mod rooms and bay views; jdvhotels.com.
STAY AT CRYSTAL PIER HOTEL & COTTAGES: The newly refurbished cottages at this 1936 Pacific Beach landmark offer a rare chance to sleep above the waves on the wooden pier; crystalpier.com.
STAY AT THE HILTON VIRGINIA BEACH OCEANFRONT: One of the few full-service hotels along the boardwalk, the Hilton boasts oceanview rooms and a spa; hilton.com.

You might try to look into the saiga rifles, they are sporterized but can be converted to an ak style rifle for about 150$ and the rifles only run about 350-400$. Also you might look at the ak's over at centerfire systems...can't say I recommend them, they are put together by idiots but they are alright, after ffl and shipping you could get a low end Ak for around 550$
Yep, that train left the station. WASRs, M10s, AMDs, SAIGAs, and a few kit-builds are about all that is out there anymore in that price range. See Centerfire and Classic, local funshows for the $5XX.00 WASRs if there are any left. Watch classifieds closely. Avoid any leftover Tantals you might find as cheap 5.45x39 and "AK74" mags are/have dissappeared.
