Which Bravo Star Posed Topless With Porn Star James Deen?
Some reality stars spend their existence trying to dispel rumors that they've had plastic surgery, have filmed themselves having sex, or have otherwise done anything that could be deemed "scandalous" in any way.
The girl who posed topless with nothing but watermelons and short-shorts is not one of those people.
Back in mid-2012 (roughly seven months before she appeared on the third reality show of her career), this model-turned-TV star stripped down for a spread in GQ featuring porn star James Deen. It's not the first time she's bared her bod for a super sexy shoot, however. It was also revealed that she once modeled clothing for S&M retailer Trashy.com!
Can you guess which reality star posed topless with James Deen? Click through to find out!


text: Bill to give school nurses PTS is endangered A bill passed by the Legislature that would allow school nurses to obtain professional teacher status (PTS) has been returned by the governor with an unrelated amendment. The bill now awaits legislative action in the House to either accept or reject the governor's amendment. The bill is part of the MTA's legislative package and was sponsored by Rep. Christine Canavan (D-Brockton). It was passed unanimously by both the House and the Senate and was sent to the Governor on June 8. The governor returned the bill to the Legislature on June 15 with a proposed amendment that would remove assistant principals from collective bargaining. This amendment is unrelated to school nurses or to professional teacher status, but would further the governor's goal of reducing unionized positions in the public schools. Concerned members should contact their Representatives and Senators and ask them to REJECT the Governor's proposed amendment to the bill. Once the amendment is rejected, the bill goes back to the governor. He then can sign the bill into law, veto it or let it become law without his signature. The Legislature is scheduled to conclude its formal sessions this year on July 31.

In the battle of the sexes, both men and women were bloodied by the deep recession. But during the fragile economic recovery, men snared nearly 90 percent of the 1.2 million new jobs, according to an analysis of government employment data.
From December 2009 through February 2011, men were hired for some 1.1 million jobs while women picked up only about 115,000, according to Sophia Koropeckyj, a managing director at Moody's Analytics, who examined payroll data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Put another way, says Jeff Hayes, a senior research associate at the Washington-based Institute for Women's Policy Research, men regained 19 percent of the jobs they lost from their lowest employment level, which was in January 2010. Women recovered just 6 percent of the jobs they lost from their lowest point, which was September 2010.
The lopsided gains for men occurred in both the private and public sectors. But the losses were also lopsided. Between December 2007 and December 2009, men lost 6 million jobs while women lost 2.6 million.
Men suffered disproportionately when the manufacturing and construction industries shed millions of workers during the downturn. Women got hit when financially strapped state and local governments laid off public school teachers and other employees.
Prospects for older workers
Corporate and government downsizing pummeled workers in all age groups in recent years. But older adults found it harder to find work again, according to the latest BLS research on reemployment, released in August.
Among workers ages 25 to 54 who lost their jobs between January 2007 and December 2009, slightly more than one in two had found employment by January 2010. But for those age 55 and older, the success rate was only one in three; and for workers 65-plus, only one in five.
"It's a tragic story for older workers," says Koropeckyj, adding that the unemployment rate doubled for older women and nearly tripled for older men during the recession. "Their job prospects are dismal."
Annette Dyer, 57, left her full-time consulting job of 16 years in September when the company she worked for was bought out. She was given a lesser position and decided to quit. But she didn't expect to be out of work this long.
"This is the first month I'm going into savings" to pay the bills, says Dyer, of Gainesville, Fla., whose husband still works. "I'm networking, taking computer classes and applying to temp agencies."

Product description
"The Continuum Concept" introduces the idea that in order to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional development, human beings - especially babies - require the kind of instinctive nurturing as practiced by our ancient relatives. It is a true 'back to basics' approach to parenting. Author Jean Liedloff spent two and-a-half years in the jungle deep in the heart of South America living with indigenous tribes and was astounded at how differently children are raised outside the Western world. She came to the realisation that essential child-rearing techniques such as touch, trust and community have been undermined in modern times, and in this book suggests practical ways to regain our natural well-being, for our children and ourselves.

Customer reviews
By Alison Ball 22 Oct 2011
I truly believe that any parents-to-be should read this book.
I, however, am not, but found it very interesting and have definitely learnt a thing or two for when the time comes.
Among other things, the book questions our modern Western approach to parenting and encourages thoughts of a different approach, which has worked in other parts of the world for a very long time.
Does our current mainstream approach leave children growing up without a vital need fulfilled, and are we too hard on children and babies that just need to be against their mother?
I certainly know I will be putting much of what is discussed here into practise in a few years.
I sent an early wedding gift of this book to a friend, both of whom have commented that they really loved it and learned a lot.
Definitely work buying, borrowing, or otherwise finding a way to read!
Editorial reviews
"Already a sensation in England," notes the publisher, and no wonder. Advocating the natural way to raise children, this book insists on the importance of 24-hour physical contact between mother and child, from birth until the child takes the initiative for independent movement, and "instinct-reinforcement" thereafter. This "continuum," an evolutionary adaptation, supplies the crucial sensory experiences which lead to neurosis-free adulthood, an end to anxieties. Uh-oh. Liedloff, who spent several years among the Yequana Indians of Venezuela, is offering their way of bringing up baby as the norm from which we civilized folk have somehow (unspecified) been diverted. No matter that adult Yequanas spend their days fetching water and grating manioc, whereas increasing numbers of young mothers work: those that have a choice will gladly delay careers indefinitely and those who must work can find grandmothers or other eager caretakers to carry baby around while scrubbing and cooking. ("It would help immeasurably if we could see baby care as a nonactivity.") Liedloff maintains that the feeling of bliss which comes from this constant contact (including a shared bed) is what heroin addicts and others (criminals, homosexuals, alcoholics, gamblers) have missed; fortunately, "There is reason to believe that the missing experience can be supplied to children and adults at any stage." Despite a handful of pertinent, original observations, this anti-intellectual argument - like most panaceas - is full of speculations and half-truths, bearing little resemblance to the realities most of us know, and the suggestions for research are feeble. Liedloff (apparently childless) found "the missing center of things" in her "beloved jungle," a reenactment of a childhood epiphany; here, ironically, she seems out of touch. (Kirkus Reviews)

Carroll led the Newcastle attack until joining Liverpool in a blockbuster deal on transfer deadline day three years ago.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce endured a difficult eight-month spell in charge at St James' Park in 2007, and his assistant manager Neil McDonald also played for the Magpies early in his career.
"If you played for a football club and you are then playing against them you want to get one over on them, don't you?" said McDonald.
"I'm 48 now and I played for them in the 80s but I always want to get one over on Newcastle.
"It is Andy's hometown club of course but at the end of the day we have got another 10 players who will be involved in the game, will be wanting to beat Newcastle and everyone will be doing their best to do that."
Last week's win over Cardiff lifted West Ham out of the Premier League drop zone, and another victory at Upton Park on Saturday would be the first back-to-back triumphs since the Hammers returned to the top flight.
Newcastle have hit a slump having lost their last four games in all competitions, but McDonald warned that Alan Pardew's side should not be underestimated.
"They've had a couple of bad results, but having said all of that they're still in the top half of the league," he said.
"They're still a very, very good team who've got some exciting, dangerous players. We've done our homework on them, we've got a game plan for them, we know their strengths and weaknesses and we have to exploit those weaknesses.
"It goes without saying that it would be six points out of two games and that's certainly what we're trying to do."

WATCH: Empire State Pride Agenda Names New Executive Director
BY Trudy Ring
September 16 2012 3:09 PM ET
Empire State Pride Agenda, the LGBT rights organization for New York State, has named Nathan Schaefer its new executive director.
Schaefer was hired by a unanimous vote of the board, according to a Pride Agenda press release. He succeeds Ross Levi, who was let go in March.
"Nathan comes to us with significant policymaking, community advocacy and political action experience," said board cochair Marla Hassner in the release. He is the right person to lead the Pride Agenda at this time, and we are confident he will help the LGBT community earn the full equality and recognition that we deserve."
Schaefer most recently was director of public policy at the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York City. He administered all advocacy, organizing, and government relations aspects of the agency and led the coalition that partnered with the Obama administration to overturn the HIV travel and immigration bans. He has also been leading an effort challenging Congress to repeal the policy that prohibits men who have sex with men from donating blood supply. Schaefer has been published extensively on LGBT and HIV/AIDS issues.
"I am incredibly thrilled and humbled by this opportunity and I thank the board for their vote of confidence," Schaefer said in the press release. "We have an exciting opportunity right now in New York to continue the momentum toward equality. As executive director, I look forward to working with LGBT New Yorkers and our allies from across the state to build consensus and aggressively advocate for change."

The Hilbert College men's volleyball team participated in the MIT Invitational Tournament in Cambridge, MA this weekend (March 7-8, 2009). The Hawks went 0-4 on the weekend. The four losses drop the Hawks' record to 3-16 overall.
The Hawks dropped their first match of the weekend to Mt. Ida College 3-2 (30-28, 30-26, 28-30, 26-30, 7-15). Hilbert took the first two games of the match but dropped the final three games of the match to earn the defeat. Freshman Andrew Carll (North Tonawanda, NY/North Tonawanda) led the Hawks with 17 kills. Vince Amico (Buffalo, NY/Timon St. Jude) paced the Hawks' offense with 41 assists.
The Second match of the weekend saw the Hawks take on Emmanuel College. The Hawks dropped the second match 3-0 (30-19, 30-14, 30-20). Sophomore RJ Sykora (Stow, OH/Stow-Munroe) led Hilbert with 11 kills. Amico dished out 23 assists to facilitate much of the Hawks' offense.
Hilbert dropped the third match of the weekend to host MIT 3-0 (30-9, 30-17, 30-21). Skyora again led the Hilbert attack with six kills. Carll chipped in with 5 kills.
The final match of the weekend pitted Hilbert against New Haven College. Hilbert fell to New Haven 3-0 (30-15, 30-26, 30-18). Skyora paced the Hawks with 9 kills and 5 digs. Sophomore Dan Wolfe (Rochester, NY/Irondequoit) chipped in with 10 digs and two blocks.
The Hawks close out their regular season Thursday March 12 at NECVA Western Division foe D'Youville College.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Read Poems by
Abdul Malik
Say, O melancholy moon,
Did someone steal
your sleep like mine too?
Why do you pace
across the sky
the whole night through?
O somber clouds,
Pray tell me this,
Did someone break
your heart like mine too?
Why do you shed tears
day and night through?
Say, O wailing wind,
Did you lose your
soul-mate like mine too?
Why do you wander
pell-mell over the seas
and the land through?
O forlorn heart of mine,
No more do you grieve alone--
Forbear awhile,
Sojourn in the lap of Nature
until love accompanies you
once again your life through!

The government is pursuing a "selective" and "vindictive" prosecution against former CIA agent John Kiriakou, according to a defense motion to dismiss charges recently cleared for public release and posted by Secrecy News. Kiriakou was indicted in April for allegedly releasing classified information to journalists that included the identities of a "covert CIA officer" and details on the role of "another CIA employee in classified activities." The Justice Department charged him with one count of violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and three counts of violating the Espionage Act, along with a count for "allegedly lying to the Publications Review Board of the CIA" so he could include classified information in his book.
The motion argues Kiriakou is not being prosecuted for the "acts alleged" in the indictment. Rather, he is being prosecuted because, on December 10, 2007, he "gave an interview to ABC News in which he stated that the United States had engaged in torture of detainees captured in the war on terror. In 2009, Kiriakou further challenged the government policy in favor of torturing terror suspects when he stated that he did not think torture was effective."
It declares this is why "the government has seized upon the current allegations of improper disclosures to prosecute him, even though numerous other individuals that have communicated the same or similar information have not faced prosecution." Furthermore:
Prosecutorial decisions are given great deference. Nonetheless, when the government chooses among similarly-situated people and charges only those who have publicly spoken out against the government's position, the government engages in selective prosecution. When the government chooses to punish an individual based on animus, the government engages in vindictive prosecution. When either of those scenarios occurs, the government has exercised its prosecutorial powers impermissibly and unconstitutionally, and the indictment should be dismissed.
To back up the argument that Kiriakou is being selectively prosecuted, the defense outlines multiple instances where individuals leaked names of covert operatives to the press and connected "particular individuals to allegedly classified programs." In August 2011, the New Yorker "published an article ["Getting Bin Laden"] about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden." Writer Nicholas Schmidle "stated that he knew the identities of the Seal Team which executed the operation." On March 24, 2012, Greg Miller of the Washington Post "published an article profiling the director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center ["At CIA, a convert to Islam leads the terrorism hunt"]. The CTC director's name is not "public knowledge." Miller could not publish the director's real name because he works "undercover." Numerous CIA and Federal Bureau of Invetigation (FBI) sources discussed the CIA, the director ("Roger") and how he is the "principle architect of the CIA's drone program."
On May 3, 2012, CNN's terrorism correspondent Peter Bergen appeared on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart to promote his book, Manhunt: The 10 Year Search for Bin Laden – from 9/11 to Abbottabad. He mentioned high-level sources in the CIA, Defense Department and White House he had interviewed. In the same month, CIA officials leaked details on a CIA underwear bomb plot sting operation in Yemen to the Associated Press while the operation was still technically in progress. And, finally, on June 1, 2012, the New York Times published an article on cyber warfare against Iran by David Sanger ["Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran"]. Sources from the White House Situation Room were quoted. While the Justice Department has appointed two attorneys to investigate the leaks from officials on the bomb plot sting op and the cyber warfare against Iran, there are no known investigations into the other instances where sources in the government spoke to reporters and no sources for news reports have been slapped with criminal charges.
Also, the motion outlines why the defense thinks the government would want to prosecute Kiriakou. CIA Director Michael Hayden had "stated that any CIA detention or interrogation would meet the Geneva Conventions' requirements and not utilize torture." Kiriakou told the press the CIA had, in fact, utilized torture. This "exacerbated an already contentious debate." And it made the debate even more contentious in a time of war, when wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were ongoing. [cont'd.]
The defense concludes the reason Kiriakou is being prosecuted while others are not is because spoke to the media "in a manner offensive to the government. While the previously mentioned examples produced press favorable to the United States government, Kiriakou's remarks to the press did not:
The only difference between those who have escaped prosecution and John Kiriakou is that the others leaked classified information with the tacit support of the United States government, or revealed information the government considered favorable. Those leaks paint the United States in a manner that glorifies the exploits of its agents. They focus the public on the heroes who keep this country safe. In order to tell those positive stories, the government appears willing to allow sources to reveal classified information, including the names of covert operatives. But John Kiriakou told a less flattering story. He went on national television and told the world that the United States used "enhanced interrogation" techniques that in his opinion, waterboarding was torture and that America was better than that. Later, in 2009, he published a memoir where he stated that waterboarding was ineffective. This is the type of story that the government wanted to make sure its agents never revealed. The United States is prosecuting Mr. Kiriakou because he expressed views which are not popular with the government. That it may not do.
This selective and vindictive prosecution has had a profound impact on Kiriakou. Similar to the impact National Security Agency whistleblower Thomas Drake experienced when the Obama administration pushed a bogus prosecution against him, according to the Government Accountability Project's Jesselyn Radack, Kiriakou is currently in the midst what have already been "years of hell." He set up a legal defense fund for his defense. The "fund has raised a pittance of the estimated $1 million that his defense will probably cost." Kiriakou, like Drake, is the father of five children. They've experienced hardship, as Kiriakou has lost his house, career and can expect to never work in the intelligence community ever again.
Perhaps, if Kiriakou had been more like the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Counterterrorism Center and its former Deputy Director of Operations, Jose Rodriguez, and written a book like Hard Measures and gone on CBS's "60 Minutes" to celebrate torture techniques that were used by the CIA, he would not be in this situation. Maybe if he had sadistically explained each of the techniques without batting an eye and sociopathically downplayed concerns about those techniques, he would not be without his home and career today.
As I wrote in a previous post on the record number of leaks prosecutions by the Obama administration, what makes selective prosecutions of people like Kiriakou incredibly appalling is the fact that nobody from the Bush administration has been put on trial for authorizing or legalizing methods of torture against prisoners in the "war on terror," which is a war crime. No heads of banks on Wall Street, who were involved in perpetrating the 2008 economic collapse, have been put on trial. No officials involved in the warrantless wiretapping of Americans under Bush have been put on trial (they were granted retroactive immunity by Congress). The Justice Department has, instead, botched multiple prosecutions against individuals who allegedly committed bribery or other financial crimes and put its resources into investigating and prosecuting baseball pitcher Roger Clemens, former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, anyone involved in the selling and marketing of medical marijuana, WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, and anyone else connected to the media organization and whistleblowers.
There are instances where a leaks prosecution should be pursued. It is tough to see any reason why it would be excusable for a CIA agent to share details with the press on a covert sting operation involving an informant before that informant had safely completed the mission. That seems like a blatant crime. At the same time, intelligence employees should have free speech rights like other government employees to talk about government policies. If the Department of Agriculture can talk to reporters about farm subsidies, intelligence employees like Kiriakou should be able to openly discuss policies in the "war on terrorism" so long as they aren't sharing classified information. The problem is the government has adopted a standard for censorship that involves preventing any conversation on any piece of information related to national security methods or techniques that could be deemed "sensitive," especially when discussion invites scrutiny or embarrassment.
The result is government employees, who actually do believe in the agencies and institutions they work for (whether crimes or corruption is occurring), are forced out of their jobs. People who care about the effect and efficiency of policies and think they have a right to express concern and be listened to are condemned to a future where they may never be able to serve government again. That should be troubling to all American citizens because of the chilling effect that has on people working in agencies of government. Obviously, a culture of complacency, complicity and indifference to corruption develops. Refusals to address corruption because it could leak to the press and start a scandal occur. And, most importantly, people become tight-lipped and do not want to talk to reporters because, if the reporter isn't a veteran journalist like David Sanger or has a wide audience like "60 Minutes," they may lose opportunities to move up the ranks in government and even be fired.

Move into new home in time for Christmas
Posted: November 22, 2012|
M OVERS could find they're able to celebrate Christmas in a brand new home thanks to a part-exchange scheme being operated by a developer.
Rowland Homes say buyers interested in a property on its Havannah Village development, on the edge of Congleton, can be in for Christmas even if they have a property to sell.
Sam Johnson, sales manager for Rowland Homes, says: "It is not too late to move in time for Christmas because with part exchange we can arrange for your home to be valued and could make you a cash offer within a week.
"You won't have to worry about getting caught up in a complicated chain and could move in just four weeks. You could even let people know your new address when you send out your Christmas cards."
Four-bedroom homes in a choice of styles are currently available at Havannah Village, with prices from £299,995. Among the properties that will be ready to move in to in time for Christmas are the Belgrave at £329,995 and the Bonham for £344,995 with carpets included in the price.
On the ground floor, the Belgrave features a lounge, combined kitchen, dining area and family room with French doors opening on to the rear garden, a utility room and WC. Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite, with the remaining three bedrooms sharing the family bathroom.
The Bonham also enjoys an open plan kitchen, dining area and family room, plus separate lounge and has the benefit of an additional sitting room where family members can enjoy some quiet time or, depending on the buyer's needs, it could be used as a playroom for young children or a study for parents or older children.
All of the homes at Havannah Village have well equipped kitchens with integrated appliances including oven, hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher and microwave fitted as standard. Bathrooms and en-suites feature heated towel rails and tiled floors.
Sam adds: "It's not just the offer of part exchange that aims to make life easier because our homes are designed for ease of living with family-friendly features and a high quality finish.

Milwaukee VA Cuts In-Patient Stays
Originally published on Mon December 26, 2011 7:16 am
The VA hospital in Milwaukee is shortening its residential mental health treatment programs. Doctors there say the shortened stay — from 90 to 45 days — will mean more intense treatment and will make it easier for veterans to transition back into society sooner. Some patients worry about being pushed out too soon.

We recently flew up to Long island to visit relatives, who live in the Hamptons. It was definitely still spring up there: daffodils everywhere, as well as lots of Bradford pear and serviceberry in full bloom. Quite a change when we got back to central South Carolina, where weve basically entered into early summer. Its not really hot yet, but its warming up fast!
Anyone visiting the woods and forests here in the East will be struck by just how green everything seems to be getting. Green is the color of leaves usually rather than flowers. In plants, the color green bespeaks the process of photosynthesis, plants food-making capability made possible only with the green pigment, chlorophyll.
Our Mystery Plant seems to be almost entirely green. Its a shrub usually no more than about 6 feet tall, commonly producing underground runners and forming clumps. It may be most notable for its leaves, which look as though they belong on a maple tree.
This shrub is not related to maples, but both groups have their leaves arranged in pairs, so that further confuses matters for young naturalists. On the other hand, this shrubs flowers are nothing like those found on a maple, and neither are the fruits. Its flowers are tiny and creamy yellow, held together in flat-topped arrangements at the ends of twigs. Its fruits start out green, forming one-seeded, slightly flattened drupes. The drupes become a purple-black, eventually getting a bit wrinkly, and looking something like raisins. They remain on the bush into the winter, when hungry birds and critters seek them out.
Let me back up just a bit, concerning the leaves. Being maple-like, they are palmately lobed, up to about four inches long, with serrated margins, and with three prominent veins originating and branching away from the blade base. In the fall, the foliage often turns a bit yellow, and then reddish or purple, thus offering a handsome show.
This plant has a number of other close relatives in our area, and there are also a number of introduced and related species cultivated for ornament, or as hedges. Some are evergreen.
Our species is fairly common in a variety of woods and forests on high ground, from eastern Canada to Minnesota, and south to Florida. Within the Atlantic states, it is most likely to be seen in the mountains and on the piedmont, but there are several places in our sandhill counties where you can find it in shaded ravines and on bluffs.

I only have the wiikey1 and no softmod as of now
Do I need to use brick blocker to prevent the update and play it?
- What ISO did you use to play the game. Is it US region? I would try to get a different copy of the game. Burn using imgburn, 2X speed, Verbatum media, -R type only (no rewritables, no + media, sams club has a nice 100 pack of verbatum -R for $34).
- Are you positive you are on 3.0 firmware for the wasabi-dx. It doesn't ship with 3.0, you had to update it.
- What system menu are you running. The system menu really doesn't matter but if you are running 4.2 U you most likely have the right IOS 56.
- Did you ever get new super mario brothers to work? It requires the same IOS.
- user joey2talk2 stated that it needs IOS56-64-v5405. You can use Dop-mii to put it there, but you need your wii to be softmodded and need neogamma to load it.
Try to get a new copy of the game, confirm firmware before trying anything else.
You could possibly update through the disk and it will load what IOS that you need, but keep in mind it will update you to 4.2U and then any out of region games will no longer play!!! When the Wii loads you will have to press reset 3 times and shut off the backup block. Also wouldn't hurt to confirm you are on firmware 3.0 on that screen. Otherwise softmod and there are some great guides here for what systems software you have. The other option you have is to update through the NSMB disk, which will put you to 4.1 and then you can still play out of region games.

when i've burnt the game an error says : disk could not be read?
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?, do I have to install cIOS rev 17 ?
Neogamma says that I have IOS249 (rev 17)
Thank you very much in advance!
I have wasabi dx with v3 firmware and nothing else. No softmod etc. and it works perfect.
I use verbadim discs and burn at 4x speed with Imgburn and it has worked flawlessly all day. When I originally burned at 2x it came up with disc error, right away.
I hope this helps others.
I always have my brick blocker turned on. There would be no other reason to not have it on since the updates are always directed at people like us and not for game enhancements as people may think ;p
I also find that Verbadim discs work the best and at 4x speed. Type of disc can be a big factor. If you can play the new Super Mario bros than you should not have any problems playing Galaxy 2. Wasabi DX is also turning out to be a really great performer as well. Burn and play. Worth every penny I paid.
What system update does the Wii have?
I am waiting for the PAL release to come out so I can't say anything about SMG2, but Brick blocker has worked fine for me in the new Prince of Persia and Monster Hunter Tri...My Wii is 4.0E and Argon 1
My Wii has 3.2u I believe. I haven't turned on the damn thing in nearly a year, but I really want to play Galaxy 2.
I am using TDK DVD-R which have always worked for my backups in the past. I burned at 4x for both versions I tried. One was just straight from the ISO, and the second time, I used brick blocker to patch it the ISO and then burned it. Both times the screen went to back after selecting to play the game in the Wii menu.
My wii is 4.2u. I just burned it straight from the NTSC ISO not pal. My wii is not region free any longer since my dumb a-- kid took an update without knowing the consequences of it. I use the brick blocker on the wasabi dx not through modifying the ISO. All works. It maybe working so well due to the Wasabi DX and nothing else. Have you tried the new super mario bros and does that work? You should see if that works and then you will know for sure. The New Super Mario is awesome and I highly suggest trying that and see what results you get. The best game ever on the wii for sure. Good luck
P.s Maybe it is the iSO you are using. Have you tryed other ones. I don't know if I can post a link to the one I got without getting into trouble. Perhaps thats all that is the problem.

text: Countryside Woods -- Carroll Hayden took his miniature "Funzville" display to the Great Train Expo in Portland recently. The 73-year-old hobbyist began collecting pieces for the amusement park display more than a decade ago. It's now complete, with 10 working rides, a scale monorail and carnival music. He said it's magnet for kids of all ages. The rides in his tiny carnival are from the Mr. Christmas musical ornament product line and include a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, a roller coaster and a merry-go-round. "It's a little bit different than you usually see," he said. Last summer, Hayden also finished a 25-year project, the "Crimson Queen" sternwheeler model.

Shellys London captures of-the-moment style by being at the heart of cultural and social movements as they intersect with fashion.
Shellys first emerged in the late 1940s as a small family-run company. Combining expert craftsmanship with innovative design, the brand was made available at a small number of stores scattered across London.
From its small scale beginnings, Shellys London gained status by tapping into the styles and attitudes of London's ever-changing youth culture. Rooting itself in the moods and movements of the new, Shellys worked its way to the forefront of fashion. Shellys was the very first brand to introduce platform shoes and Chelsea boots to the women of London in the '60s; the exclusive supplier of footwear for pivotal Mod band The Jam in the late '70s; and the trailblazing collaborator with designers Katherine Hamnett, John Richmond, Vivienne Westwood and Jean-Paul Gaultier in the '80s. With each new decade, Shellys London led the charge as an enduring name in on-point avant-garde style.
Today, Shellys London brings together counter-culture, youth and fashion, with style that is not so much about a time or a place: it's about an attitude. The collection is approachable and unique; historically significant but fully embedded in the present.
Shellys offers carefully curated footwear that's designed for the girl who colours outside the lines. Always with an eye to the latest and greatest movements in music, art and fashion, Shellys London is about connecting the dots between personal style and the trends that capture the spirit of today.

Kelly Preston, a.k.a. Mrs. Jon Travolta, first caught my attention when she was banging Tom Cruise's brains out against a bookcase in Jerry Maguire. Then later she clocked him smack in the mouth and my heart went aflutter. Is a Scientologist allowed to strike another Scientologist, even if it's make-believe? On second thought, I guess make-believe is a huge part of their beliefs.
A word from Kelly: "I got caught playing doctor in my grandma's garage, but, you know, it was very minor, just like sticking things in the heinie."
What was minor to you could have been a turning point in your patient's life.
Check out more pics of Dr. Preston after the jump.
