TJB Hall of Fame: Wayne Chrebet
As I contemplated weighing in with a piece on Wayne Chrebet, I wanted to achieve a few things. I wanted what I wrote to come from the heart, not just rehash the career highlights that everybody else would have summarised in their customary tribute pieces after his retirement was officially announced. I did not want my tribute to be lost in a sea of tributes, all saying the same thing, all justifiably lauding the great man's achievements, yet all somehow falling just short of getting across how special he was. I did not want to base it all on research about statistics or dwell on his injuries.
This was the thought process that led to Wayne inspiring the creation of, and becoming the inaugural enshrinee into the Jets Blog Hall of Fame. What better way to honor the man who may go down as the most popular Jet of all time, certainly of his generation? Over the coming weeks, months and years, myself and Bassett will induct Jets greats into our Hall of Fame. The only entry criteria is that we both think they deserve it, but in order to get in, you have to be pretty special. We will be asking for your nominations in future, but for now, neither of us can think of a better person to start with than Wayne.
My first memory of Wayne was as the most exciting player on the struggling 1995 Jets team, which seemed to have had the life sucked out of it on draft day when they selected Kyle Brady in the first round. Wayne, number 80, was the dynamic, little guy weaving between slower defenders like Spud Webb in his prime, diving full length for spectacular catches with all the grace of an Ossie Smith or taking a pasting and living to fight on like a young Hulk Hogan.
NFL coverage in the UK at that time was so slack, that it was deep into the season before I even knew how to pronounce the name "Chrebet". It's difficult to fantasize about your hero winning the superbowl without being able to imagine the audio soundtrack in your head. However, this little guy was just about the only thing worth watching on my favorite team at that time. I didn't even know if he was really any good, or if he just stood out because we were so bad.
The following year, the Jets added Keyshawn Johnson with the first pick, but Chrebet continued to emerge, so much so that the Jets would neglect to throw Keyshawn "the damn ball". As Johnson went down with an injury, the Jets went on a terrible losing streak as Adrian Murrell and Chrebet tried to keep the Jets offense alive almost on their own. With Keyshawn out, Wayne caught 12 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown against the Jags in week seven, but the Jets lost again. However, Chrebet was now starting to get the production to match his obvious talents.
With their differing styles, Johnson and Chrebet would compliment each other perfectly – in football terms – but the only compliments Johnson would ever pay Chrebet would be far from deliberate, as he would continually draw attention to Wayne's considerable talents but only because he was continually opining that Chrebet wasn't as talented as he was. Dubbing Wayne "the flashlight" (to Keyshawn's "Supernova") was intended as an insult, but instead somehow summarized what Wayne was about "small, reliable, useful, able to light up a room, a face, a football field.
As Johnson began to find his niche in the NFL, the Jets started to win, but Chrebet was as much a crucial part of that as anyone. Johnson was statistically the number one receiver, but both played key roles as the Jets jumped out to an 8-4 start in 1997, only to flame out and miss the playoffs. The following year, each would have a 1,000 yard season and the Jets would win 11 of 12 games on their way to the AFC Championship Game, punctuated by arguably the best game of Johnson's career in the divisional playoff round. However, despite an early ten point lead, the Jets would fall short of making it to the big dance.
In 1999. Johnson's numbers went up and Wayne's dropped (mainly because he would miss five games). This did not translate to a winning season, as any Jets preseason optimism was completely halted by Vinny Testeverde's week one injury. A strong finish did not translate to a playoff berth and did nothing to appease Johnson, who was to be traded out of town, leaving Wayne as the number one receiver once again. With Curtis Martin now on board and Vinny back in the saddle, the Jets offense was to become more of a ball control offense, so Wayne would not be expected to put up numbers quite as high as those from earlier on in his career. Despite no longer having Johnson around to draw away the defensive attention, Chrebet thrived in this role.
The Jets got off to a hot 6-1 start in the 2000 season, highlighted by a week four come-from-behind victory over Keyshawn's Bucs where Chrebet caught the game winning touchdown pass on an option pass from Martin in the last minute and Johnson backed up all his pre-game talk with one catch. For one yard. Chrebet left the field holding one finger aloft and although it remains unclear whether this symbolized "we're number one", "I'm number one", "one catch" or "one yard", any or all of those would have been appropriate – and on that day, undeniable. Chrebet had, fittingly, won the four-year-long war of words by letting his game speak for itself.
Two weeks prior to that. Wayne had served notice that he was capable of delivering in the clutch as his two late touchdowns – the second, sliding on his knees at the back of the end zone – would lift the Jets to an improbable 20-19 win over the Patriots.
In week seven, he would again deliver in the clutch. Chrebet's diving touchdown reception against the Dolphins capped off an incredible 23-0 run and tied the score as the Jets performed the "Monday Night Miracle". While the Dolphins would retake the lead only for the Jets to tie it again and go on to win in overtime, it was Chrebet's catch that was the moment that instantaneously lifted my mood from being furious at the way the game had gone up to that point to being intensely fired up and actually believing the Jets were going to pull off the impossible.
As fans of the Jets, it was difficult not to fear the worst at all times. However, in Chrebet you had something so dependable it gave you belief. Third down was no longer the down before an inevitable punt or field goal. Now, third down – or any other pressure filled moment – was time for Wayne to work his magic. The belief spread to his team-mates too and the Jets were developing a more confident swagger than in the past.
While the Jets season would again end in disappointment, Chrebet had now become the finished article. His route running was perfect, his ability to find a seam, get open and be on the same page with his quarterback unmatched, especially at the most critical moments. His hands were as soft as the foam hands you could buy that *did* say "we're number one". His toughness was proven. His heart was as big as he was small.
As Wayne moved into the latter stages of his career, it was a natural transition for him to turn into the veteran leader that he was becoming. In 2001, Laveranues Coles, who had first made an impact during that Miraculous Monday Night (or was it Tuesday Morning?) was now becoming the number one receiver. Unlike Keyshawn Johnson, he would look up to and learn from Chrebet. The two complimented each other on and off the field with mutual love and respect. The Jets were more of a team and would be competitive in a tough division for the next few seasons. By now, everyone knew Chrebet would be the target on third down, but few were able to stop him. I was able to impress my friends by predicting when and where the ball was going on third down. His statistics in those situations, not that any statistic could ever demonstrate what Wayne was all about, were consistently among the league's best.
The plays he made so routinely that they almost were taken for granted are what defined Chrebet and how he should be remembered. Leaping to catch a bullet over the middle and landing strongly to absorb the impending impact; running a yard past the first down marker and turning to clutch a pass in traffic; being aware of the first down marker and putting his head down so he could stretch his arms safely across the appropriate yard line; breaking a tackle or hustling to make a block downfield; digging his cleats in the turf an inch away from the sideline and ensuring they stayed planted in the ground while he laid out to catch a pass out of bounds; getting open on a slant route and making a bee-line for the endzone; and, yes, those diving catches.
In the final week of the regular season, the Jets needed a win in Oakland to make the playoffs and complete their comeback from a dreadful start. They would eventually win on John Hall's unbelievable 53-yard field goal with a minute to go, but the fondest memory I took from that game was Wayne's stunning one-handed diving catch.
The following week, again in Oakland, Chrebet emulated his performance from the week before with what was perhaps an even better catch. With Testerverde's pass downfield seemingly well out of his reach, Wayne somehow got the tips of his fingertips to the ball, and stretched out to tip it again before bringing it into his grasp just as his body, which was falling to the ground one way, but rotating the other way, fell to the turf and was simultaneously hammered by two Raider defensive backs. It was a thing of beauty, especially in slow motion, like so many of the plays Wayne made over the course of his career. Again, the Jets would fall short, but optimism at Weeb Ewbank Hall was high.
In 2002, I met another Jets fan in England. Within thirty seconds, we were discussing our mutual love for Wayne and I had made a friend, probably for life. Fans of other franchises could never appreciate that this is the type of reaction Chrebet gives rise to. Another slow start would lead to Chad Pennington's spectacular debut, and although Coles quickly became his favorite target, he knew how to be successful with this new weapon at his disposal and Wayne continued to be the go-to guy in clutch situations.
On the final day of the season, Giants Stadium erupted as Adam Vinatieri's field goal in Miami meant that the Jets could make the playoffs with a win over Green Bay. Moments later, fittingly, it was Chrebet who caught a Pennington pass and took it to the end zone. His two touchdowns helped the Jets to a 42-17 win. As the Jets had rallied from 2-5 for an unlikely first divisional title in goodness-knows-how-long, Pennington's play had them thinking Superbowl. Alas, it was not to be and Chrebet's career continued to lack the thing he wanted most of all.
The other thing Wayne's career lacked was a Pro Bowl appearance, which simply gives Chrebet the notoriety of being one of the greatest Jets, maybe even one of the greatest players in the NFL, not to have made it to Hawaii. He had years where he was close, but was simply a victim of circumstance. The wide receivers selected would have all been number one options, but Wayne for much of his career would have been regarded as one of the best number twos in the league, or one of the best in the slot. If every team had a representative, like in baseball, he'd have been there early on in his career. If veterans who had never been, like in hockey, were honored later on in their career, he would have gone later on in his career. If it were a popularity contest, like in basketball, he could have been there at any time in his career.
Nobody is perfect, but when Wayne couldn't get the job done, he wouldn't look for excuses. However, his team-mates were always smart enough to realise that everybody is human. In 2002, Wayne's fumble against the Bears looked to have cost the Jets a playoff berth. Chrebet, with his own lofty standards, was apologetic after the game. However, after a terrible effort by the Jets, Wayne's heroic, but ill-fated leap to the first down marker as he attempted to keep a potential game-tying drive alive was not the reason for the defeat and his team-mates universally acknowledged as such.
When he uncharacteristically dropped what appeared to be an easy touchdown catch against the Dolphins in 2004, Curtis Martin ran for a 22 yard score on the next play. Martin said he was just picking his team-mate up like Chrebet had done for him countless times in the past. Even when he was unsuccessful, Wayne's effort and impact on the franchise could never be called into question. The Jets would ultimately win that game in a blow-out, as if Chrebet's team-mates all stepped it up for him. (He had already scored the first touchdown).
The last three years of Wayne's career would see a drop off in production as the concussions and age started to take their toll. However, he could still be relied upon to come up with big plays. Pennington's wrist would cost the Jets a chance at a playoff berth in 2003 and his shoulder would cost the Jets in 2005 (although Chrebet's career was over by then).
Even in 2004, when the Jets were one (and another) Doug Brien field goal away from the AFC Championship game, Chrebet's role in that success was more limited than in previous years. He missed the last few games of the regular season with another concussion and then, although he returned for the playoffs, with speculation that his career was about to end, he did not contribute significantly to the Jets postseason run.
Eventually, Wayne decided to return for one last season with the Jets in 2005 but would again see his season cut short by another concussion. As Bassett so eloquently wrote, it would be fitting that his last reception would be a clutch first down to keep another potential game-winning drive alive, but you could immediately tell from the glazed look in his eyes, that this was probably the last action he would see as a Jet.
As he announced his retirement, Wayne said he hoped he could now concentrate on being a good father and his team-mates were all in agreement that there was no doubt that he would be. He said he will find a way to get past not getting to win a Superbowl, by finding another challenge in the future. Jets fans the world over would be delighted if that future involved him trying to get a ring as a receivers coach for the Jets.
On the occasion of his official retirement announcement, the quotes about his career and the stature of the people they came from said everything you ever needed to know about how well respected he is within the game.
As fans we would only see glimpses of Chrebet's character, but from these it was clear that those who really knew Wayne were lucky to have done so. He clearly had a sense of humour, an inspirational character and most importantly of all, the respect of his peers, which maybe was all he could have asked for when he first pulled on a Jets jersey.
They say you should never meet your heroes, but having seen the guy interviewed, it seems the reports that he is a humble, well-rounded character are accurate and it would be an honor to one day meet Chrebet just to shake his hand.
The collective hearts of Jets fans everywhere will sink the next time they have a third down to convert and we realise he is not an option any more. We will convert third downs again, but somehow, it will never be the same.
Wayne Supreme, Wayne Wonder, The Flash-light, The Green Lantern, Number 80…Wayne Chrebet. Thank you – and welcome to the Jets Blog Hall of Fame!

Pro-gun advocates have praised the law signed by President Obama last Friday that includes a clause which allows guns to be carried in national parks.
As explained by Obama, the main purpose of the legislation is to bring clarity and transparency to the credit card market to protect customers from some of the techniques used by credit card companies such as unexpected fees and interest rate increases.
Among its provisions are a ban on retroactive interest rate hikes and an end to "late-fee traps," such as due dates that fall on weekends or change every month.
The new law is also designed to restrict credit card companies from advertising among and enrolling college students without the knowledge of their parents.
However, the bill also includes a provision that makes it legal to carry concealed and loaded guns and rifles in national parks.
The measure was supported by Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, and endorsed by the National Rifle Association which argued the law would enable law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against acts of violence in the parks.
However, opponents counter by saying it will make the parks less safe.

I was standing in the galley of my boat cooking up some pasta the other day when I had an interesting thought: could the word 'Marinara' be somehow related to the word 'Mariner'?
First Mate Nate, tossing around in a lumpy Nor'easter
Moderator: All Things Mods
Marinara sauce (Italian salsa marinara or salsa alla marinara) is a type of tomato sauce that originated in Naples after the Spaniards had introduced the tomato from the New World. The word marinara is derived from marinaro, which is Italian for "of the sea".

Mile High Media
Was a member approx.
2 months
prior to this review.
+Hot girls
+Reasonably-sized videos
+Exclusive Content (as a whole, not individual sites)
+Usually available for $5
-Search/Filter OK
Bottom Line:
+This site is not the flashiest site that you will ever see, nor is it the most glamorous. It is, however, a very solid site for getting quality porn. There is a great variety of women, from 18+ to Milfs, Euros to Americans. I was able to find pretty much any type of woman that I felt like on a given day.
+In addition, there is a great variety of scenes. Just about every type of scene can be found on this site, from traditional, couple-friendly 1 on 1 to bi-sexual scenes. They do a nice job of catering to most tastes on this site.
+As I mentioned, there is a lot of exclusive mile-high media scenes. This means falls under the umbrella of the 4 sub-sites that this subscription incorporates: realityjunkies ("reality" porn with lots of teens and couples), sweetheartvideo (lesbian), sweet sinner (couples-friendly porn), and doghouse (harder porn). All of these sites are enjoyable and produce good-quality scenes.
+The videos look good and are only about 1.5Gb per 30 minutes.
-As I find with most sites, the search function is functional, if not exceptional. You can find scenes based on only one keyword, but they can still be found.
*As a note, while full HD, some scenes have almost a feel that they were shot with a lower HD camera. This may just be my perception and is not anything that is really an issue, just an observation.
It is a fairly short review, but this is simply a good porn site with no further explanation necessary. This is an even better deal when you consider the fact that $5 mailers come for this site.
Evil Angel

+Lots of videos
+Lots of women (very good looking women)
+Plenty of updates
+Almost every kind of genre represented
+No DRM
-Some "HD" is 540p "Internet Hi-Def"
-Direction feels similar, regardless of the scene
-Search is mediocre
-Content is not always exclusive
Bottom Line:
The positives from above (some combined):
+This site has a ton of variety and covers just about every type of scene imaginable. You have everything from from lesbian to trannies, so the likelihood of not finding something you like is quite small.
+This site has years of videos scenes. There was almost always new content to find if I wanted to look for it.
+Again, lots of women. Many of the women are European, but there a lot of American women are starting to show up. There is a lot of variety, too, from rail-thin to buxom and curvy. I would say that finding a BBW would be difficult/
+There are typically several updates a day, typically with good variety so you always have something new to watch. One downside is they sometimes block downloading until an entire DVD is available, but I did not see that too often.
The negatives:
-Probably my biggest gripe is their loose definition of hi-def. Unfortunately, most of the older videos are not in hi-def and there is another (far too) large group that are labeled as HD, but 540p "Internet Hi-Def" garbage.
-It seems that a good portion of most scenes are spent 2 inches away from the penetration. While I appreciate the action, it is sometimes nice to get the "whole picture" instead of a 5-minute intense closeup of the action.
-I will always complain if the site just offers a 1-option search, but there is almost no model search to speak of outside of knowing them by name.
-There are several evil angel sites that can be joined independently, plus a few other sites that can get
Evil Angel
videos, so those looking for a ton of exclusivity will feel left out.
Short of getting into more "niche" sites, I would say
is the hardest of the mainstream sites. I liked the site, and appreciated the quality of girls and scenes.
*I forgot to mention. I originally had reservations about their privacy policy, but spam seems to be about the same levels as before I joined.
Reality Kings
Was a member approx.
2 months
prior to this review.
+Lots of sites
+Good video quality
+Plenty of female variety
+Lots of different genres
-File sizes are huge
-Lots of ads
-Some sites update almost randomly
-OK search function
-(partial) Download limits *not a problem for me*
Bottom Line:
+One thing I will say about RK is that they leave few stones unturned when it comes to porn. They have the standard sites that you would expect from a network like this, but they throw in a few surprises like a squirting site, "joke" site (
It's Real
) and even a tranny site if you want something outside of the typical offerings.
+All of the videos are filmed very well and the quality of the downloads is very high. Some of the POV scenes are a little rough and/or poorly lit, but I imagine that is part of the "look." The videos also do a nice job of putting forth enough of a "story" to make it entertaining, but not losing sight of the fact that it is porn.
+There are lots of attractive women on this site that cross quite a range. I was able to find most of my Euro favorites from previous memberships to those sites as well as many American women as well. There is a fair amount of silicone (which is not necessarily my cup of tea) on the MILF models, but it is not very widespread through all of the models.
-The file sizes are large. I know space is cheap, but the shortest videos are 25ish minutes and those take up 2GB. After being a member of other sites with equivalent video quality at half the size, I believe this is something that can be improved.
-While I normally anticipate ads when joining a site, one of the things that annoyed me about RK was that they would put in scenes for other sites mixed in with some of their scenes. More than once, I clicked on an update to be redirected to a "join" page for a partner site.
-Some of the sites are on a monthly or a "whenever" update schedule, which is disappointing and frustrating. They might have 20 active sites, but only 7-10 update in a way that you know you will have a weekly update.
-Search function is nothing special. For a general search (click on a type), you can pick one element and go from there. Their "Search" function (type in something) is nice if you know the name, as it will auto-fill, but you have to have a good idea of the name.
-The big gorilla: download limits. The TOS has a data limit of (I believe) 5GB OR 15 "Big" movies. A "big" movie from what I saw is an HD movie of 720 or 1080 quality, as the filename is "blahblah_big.avi," so you can download 15 of those in a day. I am not a site ripper, but instead download movies that I like, so I never had an issue with the download limits and never received a message that I went over my limit despite downloading over 400GB over the course of a month.
While it appears that the cons outweigh the pros, I found most of the cons to be fairly minor in comparison to the high-quality porn that this site provided. This site is top 2 when it comes to downloaded videos over the course of a month and I have not "tired" of them as I have with some of the other sites. I definitely recommend this site, especially with some of the deals that can be had.

+Lots of scenes
+Lots of models
+Lots of variety
+Easy to link to new models
-Search functionality is limited
-Loose definition of HD
-HD can be spotty
Bottom Line:
+This site has a ton of scenes. It represents multiple studios each with their own variants of hardcore. The only problem for those who care is that there does not appear to be a ton of exclusive content, as many of the scenes are from DVD's that are readily available.
There are also scenes for everyone. Scenes range from elegant, gentle lesbian sex to hard gangbang and bukkake videos. Most of the stuff falls in between but it definitely trends to the "harder" side of hardcore. One of the things that you see on this site that is not many others is the reverse gang bang if you are in to that sort of thing.
+This site has a ton of models as well. Most trend to the European look and body time, but there are plenty of American and other minorities of stars on the site. You will find no shortage of beautiful women willing to do all kinds of dirty deeds on this site.
+The site does a very good job linking similar models, so it can be easy to find new girls and/or similar scenes
-Search functionality is lacking. You only get to look for one tag in a scene search, which is frustrating if you want to be specific in your search. The model searches are much the same way. I actually had better success knowing models that I liked from other sites, looking them up directly, and then using the "similar scene/model" links at the bottom to find new starlets.
-In this site, they call 540p "Web HD" and tag them as HD videos. It can be very frustrating to see the HD tag and only have a 540p option.
-HD availability could be a mixed bag. Sometimes newer scenes that I would expect to be in 1080p would be in a lower HD (and sometimes not at all) while older scenes have HD options.
Bottom line:
I feel that this is a very short review for me, but there is nothing complicated about this site. While this site is nothing special when it comes to searching and navigation, the scenes are very well produced and the models are hot. The beautiful girls and enjoyable sex definitely make this site worth the (discounted) price of admission.

+Lots of movies (over 11,000), most exclusive
+Great model variety
+Great scene variety
+Easy to find niches
+Lots of updates
-Files are huge (~1.5GB per 20 minutes)
-In general, only about 1.5 years full HD, 3(ish) in 720
-Search features work, but not impressive
-(Minor)Sometimes, updates can be too similar, leaving you with a day without any new updates of interest
Bottom Line:
The pros:
+This site has a ton of videos since they have been around for a long while. I say most exclusive because a few of the videos I came across were also on some other sites. Nothing really more to add here.
+This site has 13 major niche sites and the model variety to populate them. Most of the girls are European, but they range from the tight and skinny to voluptuous to plump. Needless to say, most of the girls are good looking. Many of them are the popular models that can be found on many other sites, so if you have found girls you like somewhere else, there is a good chance they have a few scenes here.
+As with the girls, the multitude of niches provide a good variety of scenes. While they have a Taboo site, it is not too intense and features peeing, whipping, bondage and some machines, but nothing too extreme. The big boob site is mostly real boobs, which is nice to me. They also have their versions of Glamcore in both bg and gg.
+Each nice has its own site, so it is typically easy to find a lot of videos that you want to see. Most of the niches have at least a few videos that can interest everyone
+There are at least 3-4 updates daily, so there is a ton of new content.
The cons:
-I know space is cheap, but these files get very big very fast. Some of the longer (35-40 minute) videos would get up to 4GB
-There are "only" about 1,500 full HD videos, which equates to about a year and a half, so browsing historical videos can quickly get you to 720 or less. It is surprising that a site this big took so long to get to HD.
-The search features have checkboxes to allow you to filter the videos and/or girls, but there were times that I felt (or even found through other means) scenes that met the criteria but did not appear in the search results. Oftentimes, I found myself going to the site that would be the closest match and then perusing the update history to find scenes that I may like.
-This is a minor complaint, but there were a few times where I would get 4 updates and they would all be along the same vein or days without at least one bg intercourse scene. This is something mainly to me, as I like having new variety every date and it is not necessarily their job to provide it.
Overall, I feel this is a very good site. Thee content merits a very high score, despite the limited HD, but the site design and functionality (which they are improving) brings this to be "Very Good" instead of "Excellent"

-Gorgeous women (over 3000 models)
-Great sex variety (over 10,500 scenes, most exclusive)
-Great variety in women
-Scenes well-shot
-Files reasonably-sized and look great in 1080p
-At least 1 update per day
-No download limits
-No DRM
-Nonsensical file naming
-Navigation is a mixed bag
-Scene search could be better
-Very few "American" scenes in HD (not necessarily a con to me but could be for some)
Bottom Line:
Simply put, 21sextury knows how to make good porn but not how to distribute it.
-This site has more gorgeous women than several other sites combined. There is definitely a more Euro focus, but if you like models who are on the thinner side while still having breasts, then this is the place for you. Sometimes, a search of their "chubby" models can be humorous, since some of them could be considered slightly overweight at worst. They do have several of the more popular "American" models (i.e. Gianna Michaels, Faye Reagan) but they tend to be on the bonus sights which are typically only in 480 resolution.
-Though there is a bit of a Euro focus, there is still a lot of variety in the women. They have women ranging from super-thin to the ultra-voluptuous. Many of the women fall in the "athletic" body type, but there is variety in looks (be it hair, breasts, face, etc.) that prevents me from feeling like I am looking at a bunch of clones.
-Most of the videos since 2010 (maybe a little earlier) are 1080, and there is quite a bit of 720 from the years before that. The file sizes are quite reasonable, with a 20 minute video coming in around 900MB
-The videos are well-shot. They tend to set everything up so the model is the main focus, and keep the angles and positions varied throughout.
-There is great sexual variety on this site. Even without subscribing to
, this site provides a wide array of sex, even into the kinky categories. Most scenes contain anal in some aspect, but there are a number of hardcore scenes that are vaginal-only. While this may be my opinion and sound odd, the anal is not often treated as "special," and by that I mean that they do not make it a big deal, say "here we go!" or have an upping of the ante to be more aggressive when anal happens; it is simply another hole. There are plenty of DP's and quite a few, though not as many, BGG scenes. If you are not in the mood for hardcore, there are plenty of lesbian and solo videos.
is a different take on the lesbian scenes, as there is only about 5-10 minutes of sex at the end with a majority of the video focusing on them rolling around and pulling each others' clothes off with a minimal degree of aggressiveness.
-The site provides at least one, but typically 2 updates per day.
-The site download speeds are good, there are no download limits, and there is no DRM attached to the file.
-The file names are all in some code that makes sense only to them. Renaming files is necessary for future reference. Personally, I found it easy to add downloaded scenes to my favorites to make sure I did not download them twice and/or could remember the name and model.
-The site navigation, while not horrible, still has plenty of room to improve. When you look at a model's scene history, they are in a seemingly random order and it can be annoying to find her most recent scenes. Sometimes filters do not reset even after you click the option, leave the page, and come back.
-While tied to the navigation, the scene search became an annoyance. Originally, they had over 100 options, as well as the ability to search just about anything and in full combination (anal scene, outdoors, long brown-haired model with trimmed bush and medium pear-shaped breasts could be searched and you would still have options) and then they removed it to more generic categories. I find it ironic that they went from more detailed to less, especially when they already had the details in the system.
-If you like the more traditional American porn, there are few scenes and fewer still in any kind of HD. This does not bother me, but anyone looking for this would be better served elsewhere.
All in all, I was a member for a month longer than originally planned and was still finding new and intriguing models and scenes. I have no reservations about joining again in the future, as the girls, sex, and presentation are all top notch. Even the cons are more annoyances that can easily be worked around and do not ruin the experience.
I give this site a solid recommendation and the rating will only increase as the navigation improves.

-Lots of different models
-Plenty of categories to choose from (~80)
-Tons of scenes (over 5000)
-Daily updates
-Camerawork is well done
-Not a lot of variety in models (see below)
-Scenes are not too varied (see below)
-Sort functions are limited
-Videos are only 720 and can be big
-Natural, balanced models can be hard to find in recent updates
-Ads every time you are logged in
Bottom Line:
To go into some more detail about my (seemingly) conflicting pros and cons:
-There are a lot (almost 2000) of models on this site. However, especially more recently, they seem to be either a fake-breasted "MILF-ish" variety, super slim 18-year old, or big-asses. As always, there are exceptions, but they seem few and far between.
-There is the ability to select a lot of different categories, but there is no ability to perform combinations. The site only allows a type of scene, type of model and location combination. So, if you want "Brown Eyes" and "POV" you are out of luck.
-There are a ton of scenes to select and many sites to choose from. However, most of the scenes follow a standard format of: build a brief story, remove clothes, oral, few positions, cumshot. It is hard to describe, as that is porn in a nutshell, but there are times when the positions, order, and general happenings feel nearly identical between the scenes, especially when on the same sub-site (of which there are 37, raging from MILFs to Teens).
-There are typically 2-3 updates per day
-The camerawork and overall presentation of the videos was well done. While I felt that there was some tedium in the action, I appreciated the angles and framing that they used. I never felt that they stuck with a view too long, especially extreme closeups or extreme angles that I personally find tiresome.
To elaborate on my cons:
-The HD videos are only 720 instead of the 1080 available on many other sites. A few of the videos were very large, especially for the length of video (1GB for 22 mins).
-There seems to be a lack of models who are thin and/or athletic and have breasts (even moderately-sized ones). I kept getting the feeling that most of the C and above size breasts were silicone or on a "thicker" model. While I do not mind that every once in a while, I felt there were too few models to fit this gap in their offering.
-There as a popup ad after each login that had to be closed and was quite annoying.
Maybe a con for some:
-There is not a lot of harder material if you are into that. There are only 4 DP scenes and only about 340 anal scenes, so people who like a little more than b/g or g/g might find the content lacking.
Overall, I bough a month membership when it was on sale and did not regret my purchase. I enjoyed the month on the site, but I had reached my fill by the end of the month. I would recommend the site if you want to sign up for a month on sale, but I plan on check out their direct competitors (RK, Bangbros, NA) before signing up again.

|In this segment, we'll get the latest on efforts to control Type 2 diabetes, the form in which the body gradually loses the ability to use insulin to control sugar levels in the blood. Two papers published this month in the journal Cell Metabolism present different approaches to controlling glucose levels in people with the condition. In one, a hormone called apelin, which is produced in fat tissues, was injected intravenously into normal and obese mice, and was found to significantly reduce blood sugar levels. In another study, researchers used an experimental drug manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline that mimics the behavior of resveratrol, a compound found in red wine and grapes. The artificial resveratrol decreased blood sugar levels and restored insulin levels to normal in diabetic mice. We'll talk about the two approaches, and other work on treating diabetes.

Poll: Mathis to the Hall of Fame?
He was certainly a cult hero, but is he a future Hall of Famer?
August 3, 2010
Clint Mathis—or Cletus, as he was affectionately known by fans and media—announced that he will be hanging up his cleats following the Galaxy's friendly vs. Real Madrid on Saturday. The retirement follows a 13-year playing career that took him throughout MLS and Europe, and to a World Cup.

DERBY, VT – The Derby Line Trustees along with Water Commissioner Gilles Blais joined the Derby Town Select Board at the table Monday night to present an update of the water line infrastructure project and ask if the town is willing to assist.
Trustee Keith Beadle said the Agency of Natural Resources had told him that the water line is in violation of its permit and the state agency has given the village until the end of 2014 to take action. The current situation could impact insurance protection rates, some pointed out, as water pressure is critically low for fighting fires.

CAPE VINCENT After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, the town finally has secured state funding to extend municipal water service to Tibbetts Point.
This was six years in the making, town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey said. I think its a win-win for everybody.
The town tried and failed twice to secure funding for the multimillion-dollar project to provide potable water to more than 90 households and the Tibbetts Point Lighthouse facilities west of the village.
Funding for the proposed $2.8 million undertaking comes from an $885,594 state Environmental Facilities Corp. grant, with the rest covered by a 30-year, no-interest loan.
The state grant program requires Cape Vincent to wrap up the project by 2015 and, assuming all goes as planned, the town plans to break ground next year.
The next step for the town is to hold a public hearing on the formal expansion of Water District 6, which would serve a total of 108 equivalent dwelling units. The hearing will be at 6 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Cape Vincent Recreation Park, James Street.
On average, the annual cost per customer is estimated to be $774. However, the town plans to lower the service charge for outside users hooked into the villages water line who already have up-to-date water infrastructure.
Project engineers with Bernier, Carr and Associates, Watertown, in May estimated the per-year cost to be included in Water District 6 would be about $9 lower than what outside users now pay for village water.
Town officials and engineers also had said properties connected to the villages water line should be part of a formal district regardless, because the village was notified several years ago by the state Department of Environmental Conservation that it did not have a permit to sell water to outside users.

Mets acquire Chin-lung Hu
The Mets have acquired SS Chin-lung Hu from the Dodgers for LHP Michael Antonini.
I know what you're thinking it, because I'm thinking it too: Hu? I mean, who?
The 26-year-old Hu hit .317 with four home runs and 25 RBI in 206 at bats in Triple last season. In 173 career big-league at bats, he's batting .191 with two home runs and 17 RBI.
Antonini, 25, went 6-9 with a 4.32 ERA in 23 games, all starts, in Double-A for the Mets last year, then went 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Buffalo.
There was talk after the 2009 season that Antonini would compete for a spot in the big-league bullpen on last year's team, but that never panned out. He was left exposed during the Rule 5 Draft a few weeks ago but no team selected him.
According to the team's press release, their 40-man roster now stands at 39.
Updated at 5:36 pm:
The early word on Hu is that he has a 'very good glove,' and he's more than capable of playing second base as well. Also, he's quick, not just in the field, but also on the bases. However, though he's a small guy, and has yet to prove he can be an every-day player on a big-league roster, he's strong and might prove valuable in a utility role, especially providing some nice speed off the bench.

Downsizing Blog
Cut Spending Because Government Hurting Nation
I have posted an updated plan to cut spending by one fifth and balance the federal budget. These cuts are not the only ones needed, but they are a mix of reasonable reforms spread broadly across the government.
Mad Magazine vs. Hollywood
Side-by-side obituaries in the Washington Post on Sunday were an interesting juxtaposition.
Highway Bill: Another Spending Test for the GOP
Chris Edwards testified yesterday to the Senate Finance Committee regarding federal highway and transit funding. Some thoughts.
All Aboard the Privatization Train
With the expiration of the current federal highway bill in a few months, the infrastructure issue is heating up. Newspapers are ginning up interest with stories about deficient and falling down bridges.
I Thought Liberals Favored Diversity?
Frequent stories in the Washington Post describe failures in federal management and programs. There are also frequent stories about efforts to further centralize power in Washington. The ambitions are endless, even though the failures keep piling up.
WaPo's Bridge Story Is Structurally Deficient
Oh dear, yet another scare story about falling-down bridges. A Washington Post headline today in the hardcopy is "63,000 Bridges Structurally Deficient, U.S. Says."
Federal Government Often Selfish, Not Selfless
A new Rasmussen poll finds that just 19 percent of voters think that the federal government "does the right thing nearly all the time." The poll also finds that two-thirds of voters think that the government "looks out primarily for its own interests."
White House Helicopter Fleet
Did you know that the White House has a fleet of 19 helicopters? The Washington Post today discusses efforts to replace this fleet of aging Sikorsky's with 21 new vehicles yet to be procured. The fleet is used by the president, vice president, and cabinet secretaries.
Risking Taxpayer Dollars on DOE Loan Guarantees
In February, I highlighted the Department of Energy's issuance of a $6.5 billion loan guarantee to build a nuclear power facility in Georgia. At the time, the project was behind schedule with cost overruns, and the project's owners had already secured private financing. Yet DOE issued the loan guarantee anyway.
BLM vs. the Nevada Rancher
The battle between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) might be viewed as an overly aggressive federal bureaucracy enforcing misguided environmental regulations vs. an oppressed individual and his overly enthusiastic supporters with guns.

BUFFALO, NY - Atter signing the SAFE ACT in January, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there would be no cost to local counties for implementing the new law.
But, some county clerks are now taking action after they say its created a massive backlog of paperwork and filing.
Most county clerk offices in Western New York tell us that they're getting piles and piles of pistol permit opt-out forms. The documents are being signed by gun owners, so they can keep their personal information private.
But, all this comes with a cost.
There are 60,000 people in Erie County with a pistol permit. About 20,000 of them have opted out.
Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs says his department has spent more than $5,000 in overtime for employees to file the forms. He says there are other costs too from reassigning staff members to paying for office supplies, but staff haven't even had the time to calculate it all.
"We're up nearly double in terms of the amount of transactions this year compared to last and it's largely because of the passage of the SAFE Act," said Jacobs.
So, some counties want the state to start covering the costs or reimbursing clerk offices for all the extra work.
"In talking with almost every clerk, they're all in agreement that this is going to burden local government and it should not be because it was a state law, it was a passed state law, and if you pass a state law, you gotta attach some money to it," said Jacobs, who says he's joined with other clerks statewide to recommend through the State Clerk Association for lawmakers to allow the offices to be reimbursed for SAFE Act costs.
Don Read the Genesee County clerk said, "I think some of the clerks are so beside themselves with what it is costing their office, that they have just decided to go ahead, approach it from a single county aspect."
All counties in our area say they're getting thousands of opt out forms. To give you an idea, Niagara County has 28,000 pistol permit holders. Chautauqua County has 23,000 people with permits. Both counties say they haven't made a request. Cattaraugus and Wyoming say they have no plans to file a request either. However, Alleghany and Genesee counties are considering a state reimbursement request. Orleans County has not returned our calls on its decision to ask for reimbursement funds.
Jacobs says his office has been told by the Governor's office that there's no timetable to getting opt forms done.
The problem with this, according to Jacobs, is it creates a backlog in doing other business like issuing permits.
Pistol permit holders have until May 15th to opt out.

By WALT BORLAHelper
George W. Bush stood upon the deck of an aircraft carrier shortly after the invasion of Iraq and proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" Here in the waning days of his presidential term, the mission is far from accomplished.
Here in Carbon County a legislative mission has been accomplished. Following the 2000 census the dominating party in the legislature carved up the new legislative districts to insure their domination. A portion of Utah County was added to the state senate district involving Carbon County and another portion of Utah County was added to the state representative district involving West Price and North Carbon County. Gerrymandering to a degree to insure that no Democratic candidates would infiltrate this arguably distinguished body. Just add a portion of Utah County to a district wherever there was a possibility of a Democratic candidate winning.
State Senator Mike Dmitrich, a crafty politician with years of experience, weathered two gerrymandering attempts during his tenure, but the odds caught up with candidate of his party this election year. An overwhelming majority of Republican voters in the state senate district involving the portion of Utah County spelled doom to the candidacy of Brad King. Thus North Carbon and West Price are represented in the state legislature by a state senator and state representative of the Republican party.
This indeed spells out the need for an independent commission to handle the redistricting process. With a new census coming on soon (2010), some progressive Democratic member or members are sure to introduce a bill to establish the independent commission. Just as surely, the bill be assigned to a legislative committee where it will be bottled up, never to see the light of day.
It is indeed unfortunate that a highly respected and effective legislator as Brad King is the victim of such chicanery

GASPORT, N.Y. -- Niagara County Sheriff James Voutour tells 2 On Your Side his office is investigating an accident in which a tree fell onto an 88-year-old man in Gasport, killing him.
It happened shortly after 6:00 p.m. on Wheeler Road.
Investigators say the victim was attempting to cut a tree down in a yard when the tree split, fell onto him, and killed him.
The victim's name has not been released.
