In this file photo from 2008, detainees from the ICE raid in Postville are led into a makeshift courtroom by a federal agent on the grounds of the National Cattle Congress.
- Filed Under
Question: "May 12 marks the five-year anniversary of the 2008, immigration raid on the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in Postville. What are the main lessons that U.S. or Iowa leaders should have learned from the fallout of that raid - in terms of comprehensive immigration policy, workplace safety enforcement, etc.? And how well have our leaders learned those lessons?"
Raid remains a vivid illustration of a broken system
The 2008 immigration raid in Postville was a vivid illustration of the way our broken immigration system has become intertwined with a nationwide assault on labor rights, creating nearly insurmountable barriers against workers' efforts to organize in their own defense.
In the aftermath of the raid, shocking workplace abuses came to light at Agriprocessors - child labor, wage payment violations, sexual violence and hazardous working conditions. Our country has laws to prevent all of these abuses, and employers have a legal obligation to comply with them, regardless of the immigration status of their employees.
In recent decades, however, targeted cuts have slashed the enforcement budgets of agencies intended to oversee these laws - Iowa, for example, has only one investigator to enforce the entire state's wage payment laws.
As a result, a recent Iowa Policy Project report documented an epidemic of "wage theft" - instances where employers refuse to pay all the wages workers have legally earned - and estimated that as a result, Iowans annually miss out on $600 million in unpaid wages.
Meanwhile, our broken immigration system has come to mean that while millions of undocumented workers are recruited to this country to provide their labor, they are met with threats of deportation when they seek to organize for workplace improvements.
Agriprocessors, for example, had tried to invalidate a union election by workers in its New York distribution facility in 2005, by claiming that undocumented workers' votes for the union shouldn't count. Prior to the raid in Postville, Agriprocessors workers had been involved in efforts to form a union to gain improvements, and many were bravely cooperating with government agencies to speak out about child labor abuses and wage violations.
On a federal level, passage of comprehensive immigration reform legislation could grant millions of workers the ability to step out of the shadows and stand up for their civil and workplace rights without fear of deportation.
On a local level, we can learn from the growing workers' center movement. In cities across the country, unions, churches, and community organizations are working together to create safe spaces where low-wage workers regardless of their citizenship status can learn about their rights, and organize with community allies to defend them.
Iowa's first workers' center formed last fall - the Center for Worker Justice of Eastern Iowa. Together with labor, faith, and community allies, it has already brought together over 250 workers from 18 countries of origin in Know Your Rights meetings and leadership committees.
The conditions that created the disaster in Postville have not been remedied. But exciting new alliances have emerged in its aftermath.
Building on these efforts, we can work together to restore dignity for all Iowa workers.

Postville's legacy will continue for years to come
Five years later, the Postville raid continues to raise emotions and set off heated debate.
Much of this debate surrounds motivations for the raid, the legal tactics used and consequences for the immigrants, their families and the Postville community. Many people who worked and lived in Postville before and after the raid looked for straightforward answers to some very complex questions. And, of course, explanations for why and how things happened the way they did usually reflected one's political, human interest, legal or even religious perspectives and experience.
The expressions of these opinions in public forums often differ from the more reserved, thoughtful views dozens of people involved in the raid have shared with me in recent years.
In retrospect, I believe, most actors would have done things differently. May 12, 2008, changed how many federal and state agencies approach immigration enforcement and it has also changed how immigrant advocates work, not to mention many employers.
One irony is that some people believed (or hoped) the Postville raid would deter illegal immigration from Latin America. It didn't.
In fact the reversal of illegal immigrant flows began in 2008 not with the Postville raid but with the great recession. Indeed, with the loss of jobs associated with the recession, improvements in the economic and social conditions of rural Mexico, and for other reasons, illegal immigration from Latin America today is down to about neat zero.
Many also believed (and hoped) in the months after the Postville raid that it would lead to comprehensive immigration reform. It didn't.
What did lead to the recent introduction of new immigration legislation in Congress was the 2012 election. Yet, it's very important for all of us to remember that what happened in Postville marked a watershed moment in our state's history and, some would say, in the history of our nation.
I have no doubt that in another five years' time, the Postville experience will continue to provoke hard responses and engender strong opinions

These types of raids traumatize communities
As a native Iowan, I shuddered on that day.
Iowa looked more like a police-state than the friendly hard-working place I know. But this is the sort of thing we get when we cannot find the political will to reform our immigration system. There has to be a better way other than a purely punitive and enforcement kind of approach when it comes to our immigration laws.
I also learned from this experience, something that I always sensed on a purely human level, and that is we befriend persons, they live next door to us, shop in our stores, attend our religious services and help out local economies as well as the economy of their country of origin.
When a raid like Postville happens, the community is traumatized and all those ties that bind are severed and severely affected. The emotional toll is not so easily measured especially when it comes to children.
The Postville raid is the ugly underbelly of the broken immigration system of our country. Under volatile circumstances, human dignity is violated, human rights get ignored and people are rushed through a legal system designed to deport and detain, not to adjudicate rights.
This process left a black mark on the history of Iowa, and the American legal system, something that history will condemn.
Last and first, it takes us back to the same question, the reform of our immigration system where coming to this country legally is a real option and where the rights and dignity of workers regardless of immigration status are protected, and where families are not separated because of their documental status.
Until this happens, we need to keep pushing our legislators to move the question forward before the next Postville happens, and we are reminded that we have not made any progress at all.

Officials still deny that they did anything wrong
Our law enforcement officials should have learned that immigration can't be halted through arrests, strong armed prosecution and harassment. They should not be focusing on breaking apart families and communities where immigrants live.
Postville was a prime example of an entire community that suffered greatly at the hands of overzealous law enforcement approaches. Instead, officials should be attacking the causes of illegal immigration: economic disparity with Mexico, the obstacles to legal immigration, and unscrupulous employers who recruit illegal workers from beyond our boarders.
Officials should also have learned that justice cannot be dispensed credibly in a production line Cattle Congress grounds environment where language barriers are not solved and immigration and defense attorneys are unable or even prevented from having adequate consultations with the accused - nor where the trial judge gave special ear to the advance plans of prosecutors sacrificing her credibility as a neutral decision-maker.
Officials still deny that they did anything wrong. These lessons have not been learned.
Randall Wilson is the legal director of ACLU Iowa.
Fix disconnect between immigration, labor laws
The Postville raid revealed the abhorrent conditions endured in workplaces across this state, as well as the vulnerability of unauthorized immigrant workers in the Unites States. These conditions and the status of the human beings who endured them are not coincidental.
Agriprocessors, as other employers, exploited the presence of workers forced into the shadows of our society, using the fear of family separation and deportation to ensure worker compliance and to suppress union organizing.
This practice degrades the safety and living standards of all workers. The mass round up, arrest, detention and removal of those workers caught up in this system, and its aftermath, did not cure this degradation of the workplace. It instead demonstrated the destructiveness of current immigration law enforcement practices on the lives of individual Iowans, their families and Iowa communities, both within and beyond Postville.
Comprehensive immigration reform, now debated in Congress, includes provisions to protect immigrant workers on the job as well as mechanisms to enable some people currently unauthorized to work to become full members of the community and ensure that all workers have a voice in their workplaces.
Perhaps Postville's experience has enabled our political leaders to articulate the relationship between immigration law and labor rights and finally take action to redress the disconnect between the two in our federal laws. And potentially, a legacy with national impact to emerge from this sad chapter in Iowa's history.

General Motors will deliver profit-sharing checks of up to $6,750 to each of its U.S. hourly workers after earning nearly $7 billion in North America for 2012, officials announced Wednesday.
That means GM, Ford and Chrysler are poised to pay out as much as $780 million in bonus payments to 125,800 UAW workers throughout the U.S.
Collectively, the Detroit Three are distributing profit-sharing checks totaling $17,300, the second-most after the $17,875 paid out in 1999.
GM's profit-sharing payments will be delivered to 49,000 hourly workers as spelled out by the automaker's contract with the UAW.
Last month, Ford announced that it would issue checks of up to $8,300 to its 45,800 hourly workers, while Chrysler plans to pay $2,250 to its 31,000 employees.
The bonuses will boost the Michigan economy more than any other state.
University of Michigan economist Don Grimes said his rough calculation was that about 40% of the industry's profit-sharing bonuses, or about $300 million, would go to Michigan workers.
"Maybe a little more than that," Grimes said. "That's not a negligible number by any stretch of the imagination."
The UAW agreed to profit-sharing payments instead of annual wage increases to help make automakers more competitive. The days of annual 3% wage increases are a distant memory.
Instead, the bonus payments are based on the automakers' performance in North America, which is flourishing and offsetting losses in Europe, where GM and competitors are reluctant to close plants and eliminate jobs.
GM's bonuses, which will be distributed March 1, were about $250 less than the previous year because the automaker's pre-tax profit in North America declined 3% to $6.95 billion for the year.
Chief Financial Officer Daniel Ammann said nearly all full-time workers will get the full $6,750 before taxes.
Grimes said those payments could help workers buy a new car or even make a down payment on a house.
"This would be a great opportunity to go out and buy something in Michigan because the real estate market has turned around and sales are beginning to go up," he said.
To be sure, some workers will sock away their bonuses or use them to pay down debt. But many will spend them. The national savings rate declined from 5.4% in 2009 to 3.9% in 2012, according to the Federal Reserve.
"My guess is that people, when they get these checks, will be more inclined to spend the money than during the recession," Grimes said.
Of course, Uncle Sam gets his share of the bonuses. With U.S., Michigan and FICA/Medicare taxes, the tax rate is about 35%.

Everetts and McAllister have been working on their own large-scale sculpture for the courtyard. The piece is about 12 feet tall and is called "Release." It looks like a person who is leaping off something with arms raised.
The pair said the sculpture represents new phases in life, including graduation and Turin's retirement.
"I wanted to do something to leave my mark and something for Mr. Turin," McAllister said.
Everetts said the large installations are a way to show people what can be done in art class besides painting and pottery.
"We have never had any exceptionally lasting art back here," she said.
The pair started their project in April and have spent many free hours working on it.
McAllister said this effort was way more than she originally thought, but worth it.
"I defiantly want to come back and show my kids what I've done," she said.
The boys were less vocal about their efforts or their work.
"Their strength is in the doing," Turin said about his three students as they quietly prepared to raise the first of eight wooden walls.
Turin said he has been struggling with what the sculpture means and represents.
"The impression of the two towers symbolically could represent 9/11, but at the same time I think for those people who weren't affected by that event, it's just a really impressive structure," he said.
Turin's three students have spent a lot of time and energy on their project, which was their only task this term. They have worked during free periods, through Regents Week, and on weekends and holidays.
Turin said he wasn't sure when the structures would be completed but said the momentum was there.
"Their enthusiasm is contagious," he said.
Turin said the structures represent the opportunities that Mohonasen gives its students and ripples through to the administration's acceptance of the project.
Turin said he always gives his students a chance to express themselves creatively. He believes that students remember best when they have been involved in the creative process. Turin said he tells his students that his classes are going to be the ones they remember most.
"What's going on here, beyond the realm of experience," Turin said.
"Hopefully it will leave a lifelong impression on these students."

One of the Foundation's priorities is to help communities improve their capacity to deliver services to chronically ill people, including those with Alzheimer's disease and the frail elderly. The Foundation's strategy is to promote the use of both formal services and, perhaps more important, informal services provided by families and friends. Adult day care, the topic of this chapter, provides formal services that do not supplant informal services. Instead the services provided by adult day centers allow chronically ill people to continue living at home. The centers help informal caregivers by providing services during work hours, when many family members are not able to look after their loved ones.
Since 1987, the Foundation has supported a series of programs to test the usefulness of adult day care and then to promote its replication. This chapter presents a history of the three distinct investments made by the Foundation on this topic. In many ways, this cycle represents the archetype of the Foundation's approach to grantmaking: A Phase I program, in this case the Dementia Care and Respite Services Program, runs a demonstration to test a new idea. A Phase II program, Partners in Caregiving: The Dementia Services Program, expands the program to other locations, and a Phase III program offers technical assistance and guidance to an even wider set of communities.

|Prologue The title pretty well sums up the appeal of this video. Hot, spicy women. Kat has already blazed a trail of hot anal scenes and Mika Brown has been showing up in a lot of videos lately. Victoria Sweet is as pretty as a girl can be and I've heard good things about Paola Rey. They'll all be given the RLD treatment, and that's a good thing.
|The video opens with an overhead view of Manuel Ferrara's head between the thighs of Brazilian beauty Paola Rey. He unzips to let his beer can loose and Poala gets an adorable smile on her face as she moves to gobble it up. They may be doing this for money but there's an obvious attraction between these two. Poala has a real presence and does some nasty talking to Manuel that should turn him on even more. I know it did for me. He whips his pants off and carries Poala to the stairs, sitting on the bottom step and pulling her pussy over his cock. Once she's got him seated and has adjusted to his size, Paola starts to dance on his turgid weapon. And I do mean dance. She's shaking her hips like a samba was playing and it's almost too much for Manuel right away. She continues to make use of his hard member and has a permanent smile plastered on her face. They switch to doggy so Manuel can regain some semblance of control and Paola moans from the deep thrusts. Even here she can't help but move her hips and shake that ass, making Manuel crazy. She wants him to bring it and smacks his ass in frustration. Manuel spoons her and fingers her pussy, then RC and a reach around. Paola's lit up and she wants more. P2M and they run upstairs to a couch. Another rousing CG ride and Manuel has to hold her ass in place or he's going to lose it early. Paola's having too much fun and poor Manuel is being put to the test. Her tight pussy and active ass could cause a nuclear meltdown. He resorts to g-spot manipulation and brings copious juices out of her cunt. Paola tastes it and Manuel goes back in making her cunny cream flow down her leg. Cut to spoon, Paola's tight body looking marvelous with her tits shaking so nicely. Another cut to Manuel jerking off into her mouth and Paola picking up the stroke from him as he nears climax. You can see her cheeks blow out as he nuts in her mouth. The joy juice flows down his cock when she opens up and Paola plays with the mess. Jake Malone picks now to give her a brief interview and she's delighted with what has transpired. So am I and I definitely intend to see more of her.
|Megan Martinez is wearing a burgundy cocktail dress with cleavage cut down to her waist. She's got a choker that says "Foxy" and I concur. She's hot looking. She's Mexican and 21. Jake has her display her fine tits and Megan also lifts her dress to show her bare pussy. She plays with herself as Jake tries to drag some dirt out of her but she's still very innocent. He's leaving her to Steve Holmes, who has a very smug look on his face as he awaits her. He'll be joined by Manuel and Megan is getting a real test right off the bat. Steve sticks his face in her ass and Megan starts rummaging around in Manuel's pant's before they do a little kissing. She wraps her lips around his cock and gives us a devilish look while telling Manuel that she wants him. Steve works his way into her pussy from behind and comments on how tight and wet she is. Manuel breaks from them to get undressed and Megan starts to fuck back at Steve as she's getting very worked up. She and Steve break to undress but when her shoes come off Manuel decides to use her little feet to pleasure him. He pulls her into a spoon and Steve feeds her face some cock. She's hotter than a firecracker and her pussy really is wet as the two men delight not only in her holes, but her gorgeous body. Cut to a now naked Megan getting spooned by Steve and sucking Manuel. She keeps asking if they like it and I'm left wondering how she can even ask such a question. Megan gets fucked in CG by Manuel as she sucks Steve. She moves over to the fresher cock of Steve in the same CG and sucks her juices off of Manuel. Her tits are getting some nice play by Steve, who has been entranced by them since the opening bell. Megan gets to the floor and gives the boys a tandem suck and stroke. They adjourn to a bed in another room and Megan rides Manuel in RC. Steve stands over her head to skull fuck her gently. Megan looks like she cums on Manuel's cock as Steve gets off to help her out. P2M and she climbs on Steve in RC. Manuel supplies the skull fuck here as Steve brings Megan to another climax. She tastes her juices from his cock and Manuel pulls her over for doggy. Her snatch is very wet and leaking, her awareness is impaired. Cut to Megan on all fours over a full length mirror and Manuel buried in her pussy in an up and over doggy. Very creative shot, and effective. Steve takes his turn as they wring every bit of pleasure they can out of this lovely. Manuel has her lick her image in the mirror while he fucks her in spoon. Steve offers her some cock to lick and she runs her tongue up the sides before swabbing his balls. Steve promises to cum on her face, but first he has to fuck her some more. Mish on the bed. He works up his load and squirts a mess of man juice all over her pretty face. Manuel follows by hosing her down with his seed and Megan looks like she just did a Baker's Dozen.
|Kat is walking up the stairs carrying a beaded anal toy and some lube. She plops down onto a couch and greets Jake. She's 18 at the time of this shoot and had only done anal a couple of months previous to this. Her sex life had only started about six months before her porn career. Jake opens her yellow blouse to bare her tits and then has Kat pull off her blue panties to show one of the puffiest pussies in the valley. She's a combination of Mexican and Spanish, totally adorable. Kat sinks the toy into her ass and works in one big ball before being told to lick it. She walks downstairs with the toy embedded, sits on the couch and gives Jake a masturbation display. He has two guys for her, Mike Stefano and John Strong. They come out hard and she comes out sucking. Strong spoons her and gets rid of the toy as it's in his way. He sticks his cock in her ass and Kat gags herself on Stefano's cock. She tastes her ass and Stefano pierces her tight pussy from behind. Kat gives Strong a ball wash and Stefano slips into spoon. Strong gags her and Stefano relocates into her ass. Cut to a totally naked (except for fishnet socks) Kat sitting on Strong's cock in RCA. He lifts her off in a gape and Stefano fills in with his cock. She gets passed back to Strong for more RCA and she does A2M. Stefano grabs her for CG anal. Strong offers her a skin throat lozenge to quiet her moans and she bats her tonsils with it. Stefano picks her up to bounce her bung on his cock and drops her to the floor for clean-up. She climbs on Strong in RCA and he gives her the same dance. Kat gets passed over to Stefano for a few strokes and back to Strong. She hasn't graduated to DP's just yet. Deep throat A2M held for several seconds and Stefano gives her an up and over doggy anal. They do some gaping from here and Kat is wide open. Strong takes his turn with the same routine. Cut to a side entry mish anal for Strong. He pulls out for A2M and the two guys jerk off over her face as she kneels on the floor. Stefano lays a creamy nut right on her tongue and Strong doubles the pleasure. Kat plays with her prize, blowing bubbles and gargling before swallowing.
|Mika Brown has been getting a lot of play lately. She's a very pretty, dark skinned Latina who's body is a little stretched out. Her pussy looks more comfortable than tight. Kind of like a favorite old glove. Mika's lips (on her head) seem to be perfect for wrapping around cock. She tells Jake she's half Cuban and starts to play with her body. Digging into her fat pussy, Mika shows some hot pink. She plays with her tits and studded nipples, licking one erotically, and even giving it a second pass so that even bono-one would be satisfied. Mika finger fucks herself and seems to enjoy the taste. With her ass facing the camera, she's joined by Mike Stefano who gets his head in there. Mika rocks her ass in his face and Stefano does some anal probing before offering her some cock candy to gag on. Mika appears to be very into this. She's got great energy and an active tongue. Mike face fucks her and she sucks up the streamers. They start to fuck on an ottoman in a side entry mish. Stefano feeds her one of her tits to lick again. She really goes for that. Mike dicks her deep and then goes down on the hot twat. Mika gets a charge out of that as she grabs his head tighter to her mound and orders him to "Eat that pussy!" Mika pulls her legs back, presenting her ass to him, and tells Mike to "Stretch that fuckin' asshole!" Her legs are locked under her arms and she's worrying her little love button to a frazzle as Stefano picks up some steam. Her pink pussy inner lips are sticking out past the outer lips as Stefano's anal probe is making room in her very flexible asshole. Several instances of A2P, then Mika sticks four fingers in her fuckhole. A2M and they move by the bed for standing doggy vag. Back on the floor, Mika puts her head on the ottoman and Stefano fucks her in an up and over doggy anal. A2M skullfuck and back to her oven. More A2M with Mika deepthroating from underneath. CG that starts with a hellacious pounding and changes to Mika grinding on Stefano with great energy and purpose to make her pussy cum. She spreads her cheeks for the anal and takes his hard thrusts, then sucks her ass juice from his cock and making a meal of it. She gets back on it in RCA and tells Mike she likes it and to fuck her harder in Spanish. Mika sticks her hand in her pussy and reiterates her love of the action and that she wants it harder. More A2M and they set up for the pop with Mika strumming her clit while kneeling under Stefano. Mike cums on her face, giving Mika a nice milk moustache, and she licks the remaining cum from his unloaded gun. A very good scene.
|Victoria Sweet is one chica bonita. She's doing her third porn scene for this video and just looks fresh and spunky. Jake has to take a feel of her tits and when she turns her ass to him, smacks the tight globes. Jake has the camera all over this girl as he finds out that she likes it a little rough. Victoria's being matched with Pascal St. James, who looks like Christmas came early for him as he spreads Victoria's thighs. His tongue goes right to the honeyhole and gets her worked up. She plops into his lap and they do some hugging and kissing. Victoria wants to suck cock and does it seated on the couch. Some no hands shot from underneath and an attempt to take him deep. Pascal takes down her panties and starts to fuck in doggy. He starts off slowly with Victoria's hot b-cups flopping around sexily, then pounds her hard. She climbs on in CG and takes a nice ride. He picks her up to do some hard pounding in mid-air and drops her onto the couch for mish. They move to RC, then Victoria blows Pascal, taking him deeper than before. Back to RC, the shot from the floor showing Victoria's juicy cunt filled with dick. She's rolled into spoon and Pascal starts fiending on her nubile body. Some hot kisses and even hotter Spanish. Victoria rolls on top into RC. Pascal plays her love button while stroking with his dick. He picks her up for a standing 69. Laying her back on the couch, he drives into her pussy in a deep mish. P2M and back. Rinse and repeat. Pascal pounds Victoria into the couch and then pulls her up to meet his cock. She pulls him off into her open mouth for a very heartfelt, almost painful, orgasm. Victoria swallows like a good girl.
|Jackie Diaz comes to Jake's door looking like a private schoolgirl. Black pleated skirt, white uniform blouse and tie. Jake tells her this is Sean Michael's training academy. She really looks nervous and horrified at the thought that she might be talking to Mr. Michaels. Jake assures her, he's only the assistant. She agrees to do whatever she's told while she's there and Jake roughly rips open her blouse showing some nice tits. She turns to the door and shows black bows on her white thigh highs. Lovely black panties with white lace trim. She's hot! Jake has her get on the floor like a dog and pull her skirt off. She crawls the floor at Jake's bidding, then climbs some stairs and drops her panties. Jackie spreads her cheeks and gets nervous when Jake makes a comment about her virgin asshole. Her pussy looks wet already. Sometimes I wish we had smell-o-vision. Jake stuffs her panties in her mouth and has Jackie go upstairs. Somehow, she's back on the ground floor on all fours with the panties still in her mouth as Sean appears at the top of the stairs. He's all decked out in a dark pinstriped suit and red tie. Sean is taking on the role of trainer seriously as he inspects the tight and tender flesh of Miss Diaz. Jackie has a gloved hand working her soaking slit as Sean helps with his own hand. He smacks her ass sharply, then feeds Jackie some of her own juice. Sean's cock comes out to play and Jackie looks at it in wonderment. She's never seen suck a big dick. Jackie sinks to her knees to worship the massive hard-on. Sean immediately teaches her about no hands and trying to work it deep. He allows her to play with her pussy while he's feeding her. Cut to CG on the floor. Sean works her ass over his big dick, filling her pussy to the max. P2M and RC. More P2M as Jackie really tries to get down on the pussy destroyer. Back to RC, Jackie's lucky she has strong legs to keep from sitting all the way down on him. She asks for permission to cum. A few more strokes and she's up against the bannister as Sean dogs her from behind. He stuffs those panties in her mouth again. From underneath we can see that her mons is coated with her hot juice. More P2M and Sean leads Jackie to the couch for mish. She asks if she's tight enough. Sean probably feels like his prick's been in a vise. Things go quiet for a few moments until it looks like he hit her spot in a major way and she cums. Sean goes down to lap at her hot juices. He gets back into her for a few strokes, then gets Jackie on her knees for more cocksucking. Jackie makes a meal of his balls while stroking his bat. Sean smacks her ass up and bends Jackie over for doggy. Jackie creams on his big cock again and Sean feeds her the juices. He puts her back on the couch for mish and works her clit while skewering her. Ordered to the floor with her hands behind her back, Jackie takes Sean's gonad offering on her tongue and around her mouth. Pretty nice load for someone that doesn't always come up big in this situation. This tight, hot Latina probably had something to do with that. She swallows the load and kisses his balls, thanking him for the fine training session.
Boner FootageJake finds a hot naked chick sunning herself on his patio. Her name is Monique and she's from Colombia. She's not sure she wants to be a pornstar but she's a friend of Kat's. Jake wants Kat to blow him while her friend is just a few feet away, possibly asleep. Kat's game for anything and pulls out his cock and goes to town. The horny little bitch can't keep her hands off of her own pussy and the two of them plot to get Monique involved somehow. Kat calls her over to watch while she puts on a show. Jake cons her into letting Kat stick her tongue up her ass. Monique scampers away and leaves Kat to the hard cock. Jake opts for an interlude of tease, then they take the bj inside to one of the bedrooms. Kat may look young, and she's tiny, but she really knows how to move her body when she's walking. This girl understands the power she wields and likes using it. Kat gets naked and does some posing on the bed before taking Jake in Skeeter's heel grabbing position. Jake lays back and Kat lodges his cock in her throat, choking herself for several seconds at a time. She gets into this, obeying Jakes commands and doing it over and over. Her slime lubes his cock and he forces her down on his balls. Kat rims and sucks Jake's asshole, then promises to drink his cum. More gagging, then she kneels on the floor to suck cock. No hands tonsil banging and choking. Some forced ball sucking, then she's left to her own devices to get Jake off. Hand stroking and ball sucking, Kat jerks Jake off into her mouth as he squirts his seed over her face and down her gullet.
|Epilogue I was pleasantly surprised by how good this video turned out to be. Usually I get a little hinky when there's a "Young" in the title. I'm either faced with new girls that have no clue or older women pretending to be teenagers. This was a legitimately young and willing cast. I was blown away by Paola Rey. Actually, Manuel was blown away by her. She rendered him helpless. Her sexiness and energy got the disk off to a rousing start and Megan Martinez got a sound fucking from Manuel and Steve. I could totally relate to the look of delight on the guys faces as they plundered the body of this little beauty. Kat stepped up and added some nastiness that looks so out of place with a girl who looks so sweet. Mika Brown kept the heat up and, to his credit, Jake shot her as well as I've ever seen, minimizing the flaws in her body and maximizing her great attitude about hardcore sex. That led to the one slight misstep in this video. I have nothing against Pascal and I think he did a good job here. In fact I appreciate the way he was fiending on the exquisite body of Victoria Sweet. The thing is, this was her third scene and IMO she should have been given a lesson in sex. Somebody with good communications skills would be perfect. Not unlike what Sean did in the next scene with Jackie, but less fetish oriented. I was thinking that somebody like Mark Davis is the perfect guy in a situation like this. He could have given her blow job lessons and made sure she was talking and responding throughout. No matter. Victoria provided serious eye candy and looked like she had a great time. Sean and Jackie Diaz closed things out with some kinky style and left me happy. A really good job overall.
|The Disk There's the aforementioned boner footage, BTS and photo gallery. The BTS is mostly about Paola. Her photo shoot and some extra sex showing her and Manuel masturbating for each other and sucking their big toes. Paola gets herself off and it's very arousing to say the least. The RLD watermark is present throughout the feature.
|Recommendation This is an easy one to recommend. If you like Latinas and RLD style, you'll like this.

Generations dismissals sinister: unionComment on this story
Johannesburg - The SABC should set aside the dismissals of the Generations actors who went on strike, and restart negotiations, the Media Workers Association of SA (Mwasa) said on Tuesday.
"This sinister and cynical move comes after repeated failures by both the SABC and the production company MMSV to engage in bona fide negotiation processes to address recurrent contractual issues of mutual interest raised in good faith by the workers," general secretary Tuwani Gumani said in a statement.
"What we have here is yet another regrettable display of failed bargaining processes."
The SABC announced on Monday that 16 actors who had embarked on a strike had been fired.
The national broadcaster's spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said the termination followed a call by both parties for the actors to return for recordings.
The cast claimed that the broadcaster as well as the production company, had failed to deliver on promises it made to them during their strike last year.
The cast was reportedly promised three year contracts which they had not received.
They also wanted salary adjustments.
On Monday, the actors wrote an open letter to viewers and fans explaining why they embarked on a strike.
Mwasa said it supported the actors' demands for improved working conditions, for competitive remuneration, for the consideration of fair compensation regarding royalties, rebroadcasts, sales and syndication.
"It is our submission that the actors, the SABC and MMSV productions should urgently consider setting aside the dismissal and work on returning to the negotiation table," said Gumani.
"A facilitated process would yield better results." - Sapa

November 26, 2015
Downtown Dothan is undergoing some changes, and attention is turning once again to an area called Dixie.
The train depot along Powell Street in North of downtown Dothan is undergoing renovations. Some consider the train depot a historical landmark. Instead of letting it go to waste, the city of Dothan has a plan of action.
"Use of the building will house part of the Wiregrass transit and a drop off station like a bus station," says Jerry Corbin, Public Works Director.
Downtown Dothan has many vacant buildings, but the few shop owners who have managed to stay open are excited about the potential for new customers in the area.
Owner of High Rise Café, Jeannet Brown, said, "I am pleased; it is time for a change, and it will help my business."
"With revitalization of [the] railway station, and if roads get paved I think it will really do something for our business," said James Critty-Smith, Owner Dothan Auto Body Shop
The city has considered paving the roads, but ownership belongs to the railway station and so far, it has been unwilling to turn over the property.
Dothan feels revitalizing the railway station is a move in the right direction. "It's just a start. The city can put their foot forward, and with grants, can get something started," said Corbin.
The city is also considering putting a police substation at the railway depot, in addition to putting down more sidewalk stones and lamp posts in the area.
The city is expected to begin working on the area after the architectural plans are approved, which could be as early as September.

The one hat women instinctively know how to wear.
A stylish yet practical hat with an modern edge that can be worn with or without banded buckle. Special signature features include: serged-edge brim, snippet of elastic inside at the back to allow snug comfortable fit.
Inspired by the classic train engineer, The Biker hat has that "I'm in charge" mentality. Hat on head, become a force to be reckoned with.
Details like made in the USA and using recycled materials are principles we strongly believe so when finding vintage treasures like hand forged buckles from Russia, it's all an eclectic mix.
What's under the brim?
Every hat needs a lining. Ours are generally a wild mystery for your eyes only.

OzBoxLive - Australia's No. 1 Xbox Waypoint
I currently own and maintain an Australian Xbox community website called OzBoxLive.com. We provide the latest news, reviews, interviews, discussions and more for Xbox 360, XBLA, Kinect, Xbox Original and Xbox One. The site started in July 2007 and has featured a podcast called OzBoxLive Radio which is a fun and unique way of sharing all things Xbox to Australia. The interviews were all recorded via Xbox Live with guests across the country. I have been fortunate enough to attend The Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) for the past five years and have interviewed hundreds of developers, producers and directors on a range of gaming franchises. In 2009 I introduced the "XperienceXbox" event which is now called "XperienceXpo". This charity event is all about the fun and educational side of gaming and is a way to raise money for The Royal Children's Hospital via a massive raffle. I also had the opportunity to write for The Official Australian Xbox Magazine for a year and had my own feature page called "The Land of Oz". This was specifically focused on sharing everything that is happening in Australia and the Xbox Community. The MVP Award has been one of the most important parts of my life as it has allowed me to meet some amazing people at the MVP Summits which I now consider close friends.

A step by step lessons through words, texts, and even in videos for easy learning dressmaking from start to finish. Here, you will be taught the actual process of custom-sewing of gowns, dresses, blouses, skirts, trousers, suits, and all related woman's clothings.
Dressmaking is the art and or craft of creating and customizing clothing such as gowns, dresses, and suits professionally. It is something most women want to possess -- to be able to create their own outfits! Unfortunately for some, they don't have the skills and know-how to begin with. There are a lot of tutorials out there but only here we can claim it to be free.
In the world of fashion, custom-made clothing has pioneered the industry. If you have always imagined yourself creating and sewing your own dresses from scratch. I encourage you to continue reading the rest of the articles and lessons on this site. I guarantee you that this dressmaking tutorial site contains tons of information you need to become one high caliber dressmaker someday.
Perhaps, best of all, the finished garments will pefectly fit as it is designed to your body, haute couture. As such, it becomes a continuously good investment for its superior quality and workmanship. It eventually makes a garment that last longer than most.
This site is strategically divided into five major sections to help you fully understand and appreciate dressmaking as an art and as a passion.
Part I - Free Dressmaking Tutorials for Beginners- A brief guideline and introduction on how to start dressmaking. Safety tips that protect you from harm are also discussed. Dressmaking tools and equipments needed are enummerated here as well. Then the final steps would be pattern drafting illustrations, laying out the fabric, cutting techniques, sewing construction and finally down to finish garment.
Part II - Dressmaking Fabrics - From your design concept, the next step is to source the appropriate fabrics that you need. This is only the beginning; it takes some time to accumulate enough knowledge to identify every type of fabric for dressmaking. Here is one solution and technique you should consider to help you go along the way to become a dressmaker.
Prepare and create a swatch record book. Whenever you visit a fabric store, ask for a piece of swatch in every fabric you're interested in. It is very important to know how much per yard, what kind of fabric natural or chemical, and their content too.
In a warm tropical to hot weather, light,earthtones,and some bright colours are appropriate to wear. Something like linen, cotton, and silk. In cool to cold weather, red are very popular in the holidays, dark colours and heavy fabrics are essential, heavy silk,wool and animal skin.
Part III - Dressmaking Supplies - After fabric selections are done, the next step is to acquire a good working sewing machine and sewing tool kits: like a tape measure, a pair of tailor's square and curve ruler, a pair of sharp scissors, pattern paper and at least a 5x3ft flat table for cutting. To complete your design concept, match your fabric material with perfect trims, and accessory supplies: like buttons, belts, zippers, elastic and more... Please visit our supplies!!!
Part IV - Dressmaking in Patternmaking - Congratulations!!! You have read the introductory instructions of free dressmaking tutorials. Your fabrics supplies and sewing tools are ready for you to use. Now, prepare the table and sewings tool kits and start drafting the pattern from your design or sewby. Correct measurements are the key to perfect fit! My secret policy in Custom dressmaking is to make patterns first. No short cuts! If possible, transfer the flat pattern into a muslin cloth pattern for fitting before cutting into the actual fabric material. This will avoid future problems. Visit our patterns pages....
Part V - Dressmaking in Alterations - Be it known that if you know how to create dresses, you are a real dressmaker, then you should know how to alter lousy fittings too. Here, we'll illustrate in text, and show via video the techniques on how to fix and alter problems in a case to case job of alterations. As we promised, FREE! for goodness sake.

I am waiting to get tested for Celiac/Lactose intolerance, and the past 6-8 months have been a horror because I was lost on what I could eat and I was missing all the gluten-filled and dairy-filled recipes that I just used to love that now have me running to the bathroom instead. Your blog has saved me in many ways, but most importantly it has given me hope. The maternal side of my family all are Celiacs and so I was expecting the symptoms to be there, but I didn't expect them in my early twenties. Thank you so much for putting this up so that lost people in the world of gluten-free / dairy-free can find it and view it as the treasure of the century like I have. :) Merry Christmas to all!Amanda Watkinshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-19541745871221536522012-12-05T22:47:37.723-05:002012-12-05T22:47:37.723-05:00Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I followed it...Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I followed it to the letter, and cookies came out as promised!

Sadly, the undiagnosed years of being Casein and Gluten intolerant have left me with IBS that is triggered by Sorghum flour. For others that may be in similar circumstance, I will share a mild variation of this wonderful recipe that did work for me.
Use the recipe ingredients above with these substitutions--keep the proportions the same. 1 1/4 cup superfine brown rice flour (avoid the gritty texture of rice flour with superfine rice flour); 1/4 cup Teff flour; For the starch I used 3/4 cup combination of arrowroot starch and cornstarch--6 ounces of each. This came out well, but I like to experiment and will go for 8 ounces on the arrowroot with 2 ounces on the cornstarch. I reduced the Xanthan gum to 1/2 teaspoon and added one egg white to the two whole eggs listed to compensate. I also split the sugar to 3/4 cup white and 3/4 cup brown. One teaspoon vanilla, and I upped the chocolate chips to 3/4 cup. If you have a Wegmans grocery nearby, then I suggest their brand of vegan chips that are lactose and gluten free at an economical price. The rest of the recipe I used as is. Tip: If you wish to substitute on the starch used, my rule of thumb is below ground starches with their larger starch granules work well as substitutes for one another(example potato starch for tapioca starch) and above ground starches or cereal starches with their finer starch granules work well as substitutes for one another. What does not work well when baking (especially bread) is to use cornstarch as a substitute for tapioca starch--I learned the hard way on that firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-76972177226584338442012-11-24T14:08:58.141-05:002012-11-24T14:08:58.141-05:00I made these today. I had to use tapioca flour(in ...I made these today. I had to use tapioca flour(in lieu of potato starch), and buckwheat in lieu of almond (can't use nut flours). Also cut down the sugar by approx. 1/2 cup. My dough was SUPER oily (almost tossed it out). Surprisingly, they baked up well.

Karina, any idea if my substitutions (e.g. using tapioca) contributed to the oilyness? It certainly wasn't the 'sticky and smooth' texture. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-82438455215207984372012-11-16T09:31:19.996-05:002012-11-16T09:31:19.996-05:00Thanks so much for this recipe!

Jacob had dyslexia. He had a learning disability that caused him to struggle in the classroom. It wasn't that he didn't want good grades or that he didn't try hard - as a matter of fact, he put in extra hours studying at home and even more on top of that because he met with a special tutor to get extra help. He had to put in many more hours than the average student at his school just to keep his head above water. He really tried.
After school, he loved sports. He wasn't the best on the team, nor was he en route to a college scholarship, but he absolutely loved it. He played several sports growing up as a younger child and wanted to play on several of the teams as each season began. He was a good athlete and did well with the sports he played.
He had lots of friends because of being on a team. You see, sports gave him that sense of accomplishment that he didn't get in the classroom. He felt embarrassed because of his learning disability. It was his involvement with sports that kept him "above water.
He connected with his coaches and gave them 100 percent effort. He had a great attitude, and modeled good sportsmanship.
The bad and insecure feelings that he had about himself from his learning disability waned as soon as he strapped on his cleats and was ready for football practice. He was in his element.
Then came that day when the mid-term grades came out, that day that determines whether or not you are academically eligible to participate in afterschool activities; that ugly list, the "black" list.
And whose name do you think was on the top?
Jacob was declared academically ineligible. He was kicked off the football team.
That one area of his life that gave him even a glimmer of hope was taken away. That one area in his life that gave him a sense of "being like the other kids" was snatched away. He wasn't even eligible to be the water boy.
Sure, he could get back on the team if he brought his grades up. For four years that didn't happen. He spent more hours in the books trying than any other kid. His parents spent thousands of borrowed dollars to get him the special tutoring that he needed.
He just couldn't make the mark; never to play on the school team again, couldn't sing in the choir, couldn't try out for the school play. He was issued a pass to go to school and then go home immediately and spend the rest of the afternoon in his room.
But, hey, those are the rules. If you make an exception here, where do you draw the line? School officials would then be prey to endless excuses and hardship stories. They would be asked to take objectivity out and their opinion now was to be part of the equation, which we all know can cause big time problems.
"Are you kidding me?" Is there not a clearer picture than this for an exception?
Being on a team was Jacob's big opportunity for having friends and being involved and being "normal." It was his hope for the future. How can you take that away?
It wasn't the extra time spent on after-school activities that caused his bad grades. It was his disability. Staying home didn't help at all. He never became eligible. Come on! You can't take that one thing away that we can give him as hope. He wasn't a problem, just the opposite; he was a joy to have on the team.
My call: Change the rules and figure out an exception clause.
OK, now you make the call; what do you think?
1. Should we stick to the rules and eliminate the controversies of individual special rulings, which could cause problems and even lead to potential lawsuits?
2. Should we find an exception to the rule and give the opportunity to these kids?

Kingston 128GB USB drive
Storage device maker Kingston Technology on Monday announced it has released a new USB flash drive series, the DataTraveler 200, with the first-ever 128GB USB flash drive available. The range also offers 32GB and 64GB models. All have password protection in the form of Password Traveler security software for Windows. The DT200s have a capless design, with the USB connector retracting into the device's body for protection.
The drives are compatible with Windows' Vista's ReadyBoost feature, allowing it to be used as cache memory to speed up system performance. Kingston warns turning on the ReadyBoost feature will disable the password protection feature. All DT200 drives work with Mac OS X for regular storage.
The 32GB DT200 is priced at $120, the 64GB version at $213 and the built-to-order 128GB drive costs $546.
