He fought one Cuban dictator, and was beaten and tortured. He escaped another Cuban dictator, whose men later beat and tortured his sister. Born in Cuba, and a Canadian for roughly 30 years, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz is unabashedly pro-American and a free-market capitalist. He could become the father of the President of the United States of America on January 20, 2017.
Born on March 22, 1939, in Cuba, his mother taught school and his father was an RCA salesman who was born in the Canary Islands. Cruz was a straight A student who grew to resent the oppression under dictator Fulgencio Batista. Cruz made the biggest mistake of his life when he fought on the side of Fidel Castro's revolutionaries, not because Batista's police later arrested and beat him, but because Castro turned out to be a communist, once in power.
At 18, Cruz bribed an official into stamping his passport, which cleared the way for Cruz to cruise to Miami. With $100 sewn in his underwear, Cruz took a bus to Austin, Texas, where he enrolled in the University of Texas. Cruz washed dishes for 50 cents an hour to pay his bills. He learned American English by watching movies and TV. He studied math, and upon graduation, he joined the oil industry.
He married and had two daughters, but divorced. He moved on to New Orleans, and then Canada where he met and married Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson, a computer programmer from Delaware. They launched a seismic-data processing firm for oil drillers in Calgary, Alberta. On December 22, 1970, she gave birth to their only child, Rafael Edward Cruz. They called him Ted.
The Cruz family returned to the United States, and Rafael Cruz became an Evangelical Christian, who became involved in politics due to his opposition to President Carter's politics. Then came the recession.
"There was a big crash and many of my clients went bankrupt," he told Robert Costa of National Review in 2013. "It got so bad that I had to close my business. I became a salesman here and there, and I started to build a ministry, as a sort of traveling preacher."
His son, Ted, would be the chief beneficiary of Cruz's history. The son, like the father, was a bright young man and a good student. His father enrolled him at 14 in an after-school program run by retired oilman Rolland Storey in Houston. The program drilled students on the Constitution (which Rafael helped Ted memorize) and on capitalism, especially the writings of Milton Friedman. Then Storey sent Ted Cruz and his colleagues to give speeches on capitalism at Rotary Clubs.
Republicanism was finally being introduced in Texas.
"They created a spinoff group called the Constitutional Corroborators," Ted Cruz told Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker in 2014. "And they took five of the students, all of whom had been involved on the free-market side, and we focused on studying the Constitution. So we'd meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, for a couple of hours each night, and study the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers, read the Anti-Federalist Papers, read the debates on ratification. And we memorized a shortened mnemonic version of the Constitution."
The younger Cruz then gave him an example the powers and duties of Congress: "TCCNCCPCC pawn momma run: Taxes, credit, commerce, naturalization, coinage, counterfeiting, post office, copyright, courts, piracy, Army, war, Navy, militia, money for militia, Washington, D.C., rules, and necessary and proper."
One of Storey's colleagues, Winston Elliott III, told Toobin: "Ted was just an amazing speaker at fourteen, by far the most impressive student we ever had. Our program is very much committed to private property, free markets, and constitutionally limited government. When it came to the Constitution, Rolland was a great believer in original intent, and so the focus was very much on what the Constitution says. We brought in a memorization expert. We wanted them to focus on the words. Ted was just an ideal student, because he just absorbed everything, and he came from a conservative family in the first place."
Rafael Cruz was grooming an American, a truly anti-Castro son of a political refugee. Ted Cruz became a tough debater. And then, as high school graduation, he told his father he wanted to be a computer programmer.
"I said, 'Ted, you're a people person. You'd be crazy locked up in a cubbyhole.' And I said, 'And all you talk about is the Constitution'," the father told Kelly Riddell of the Washington Times. "And so he said, 'You know, you're right.' So off he went to Princeton to study public policy."
Rafael Cruz attended as many of his son's debates as possible as Ted Cruz became the nation's top debater.
But Rafael Cruz's second marriage ended in divorce. She lives in the same building as her son, and visits her grandchildren by elevator.
Meanwhile, Rafael renounced his Canadian citizenship and became an American in 2005. Six years later, after clerking for Chief Justice William Rehnquist, his son began a quixotic quest to become the first Hispanic U.S. senator in Texas history. His father used his life story and his oratorical skills to push his son's campaign, just as he would push his presidential campaign four years later.
He's effective, drawing condemnation from a frightened liberal The Associated Press went as far as to call the father Cruz's Jeremiah Wright -- oblivious to the fact that AP repeatedly shielded Barack Obama from being connected to Wright's racist, anti-Semitic and communist ministry.
Buzzfeeed ran "The 68 Most Controversial Things Ted Cruz's Dad Has Ever Said."
Rafael Cruz told Riddell, "Well, actually I started to read that article and got down to No. 27, and I said 'Well, I'll say every one of those things again!' So I stopped reading. They call outrageous that we need to abide by the Constitution, that we need to follow the rule of law, honor separation of powers. This president is acting like an imperial president making laws by executive order. If those are outrageous statements, I stand by them."
These statements were extemporaneous. So what are those 27 things he would say again?
1. "As some of you know, I was born in Cuba. At the age of 14 years of age I was involved in a revolution. We were suffering from a very cruel, oppressive dictatorship, and the revolution started in the high schools and the universities. So when I was 14, I was involved in the revolution. I was in the revolution four years. During that time, a young, charismatic leader rose up in Cuba, talking about hope and change. His name was Fidel Castro."
2. "The Obama administration wants to take our rights to keep and bear arms away from us. They are trying to take our God, and our gun. And if they do that, they can impose a dictatorship upon us. Now he's been trying it through the courts, through the legislature – hasn't gone anywhere. Now he's trying through the United Nations. And there is now some proposals in the United Nations to try to impose a ban on guns. And of course we have a precedent, too: When Ted fought for U.S. sovereignty when the United Nations tried to impose their rule on our courts, and Ted fought defending U.S. sovereignty all of the way through the United Nations to the Supreme Court and won."
3. "Now the Obama administration is trying another avenue, through about a half a dozen treaties. Any of you heard of the Law of the Sea Treaty? Well, the Law of the Sea Treaty basically says that a percentage of the revenue from offshore oil and gas exploration, or mineral exploration, will go to be redistributed to all nations of the world. It's redistribution of wealth on a global basis. It's way beyond what any Communist country has ever done before. And he has a half a dozen treaties that they're trying to push through, all trying to undermine our sovereignty."
4. "We have to stop acquiescing even to the wording that the liberals use. Just think about it. They talk about — in the issue of life, they say 'pro-life,' or 'pro-choice.' That's not the right word. It is 'pro-life' or 'pro-death.' It is 'pro-life' or 'pro-murder.' And so, it's just like calling homosexuals 'gays.' Gay means happy! You know, it's just to try to dilute it so that it becomes socially acceptable, and if you say anything against homosexual marriage or anything — 'Oh, you're not tolerant.' So we're supposed to prostitute our principles, on behalf of tolerance. Well, I'll tell you what: there are absolutes. There are absolutes. Start being biblically correct, instead of politically correct."
5. "This man [Obama] does not have the interests of our country. That's not his agenda. His agenda is to bring us down to a third-world country. This president does not believe in American exceptionalism, and he has said so … If he has his way, he will make us another third-world country. Because he is after redistribution of wealth on a global basis. But that's not what this country's about. This country is truly exceptional. Do you realize this is the only country in the world that was founded on the word of God?"
6. "The very first day that President Obama was inaugurated, his first act as a president was to rescind that ban on third-trimester abortions. And he's even carried it further. Now, even if the baby is born alive, they have the right to kill that baby. It is an abomination."
7. "Actually, those death panels that Sarah Palin talked about are a part of Obamacare. And if Obamacare prevails, and we can't get rid of it, you know, that means that – I don't know what their priorities are, but according to their own wording, this panel of bureaucrats would decide on the basis of 'cost-benefit' whether you get a medical procedure or not. That means that this panel of bureaucrats would decide … 'I don't think you can produce enough to compensate the government or compensate society. I don't think your value to society is that much — go home and die!' And deny you the procedure."
8. "Interestingly enough, just yesterday I heard on TV that there is a new proposal of the United Nations to restrict parental rights. And from all indications, our government is ready to sign it. Let me tell you, communism does not work! Socialism does not work!"
9. Rafael Cruz: "So Barack Obama said, if the winds shift, I'll side with the Muslims. "
Audience Member: "He is Muslim!"
Rafael Cruz: "McCain couldn't say that, because it wasn't politically correct. It's time we stop being politically correct!"
10. "I get sad with the people that go around bashing this country and speaking against this country. Perhaps we ought to send them for a month or two to some place that is out of this country, to realize what it is to live without freedom and without liberty. But you know what happens is, we take freedom for granted in this country. And perhaps we say: 'Well, it could never happen in America.' Well, it is happening in America."
11. "I looked at the pilgrims coming to America. In their first year, they decided to try a communist experiment. And the first year of the pilgrims, they established this socialistic concept: 'Well, we have all this land before us – let us all work it together.' Oh, how wonderful it sounded. 'Let us all work it together, and we will share in the produce of the land.' They almost starved to death! Almost half of them died, that very first year. But they were smart enough and flexible enough that by the second year, Governor Bradford said 'this doesn't work. I'll tell you what – each one of you take your own plot of land. You work the land, you feed your family.' And then it flourished. So the free enterprise system was born the second year the pilgrims were here. And of course, it has made America the most prosperous country in the world. … I can tell you, socialism doesn't work. It's never worked. And we are seeing more and more and more socialist policies being implemented in this country, left and right. But you know, as I ponder why have we been so dormant, I think the reason is that there's a big difference from the way in which I saw my freedoms taken away almost overnight. It was a very stark contrast. Here, freedoms have been taken away just a little at a time. Just a little at a time, and we have been too complacent."
12. "Our lives are under attack. The quality of our life is being eroded more and more and more every day. Our fortunes? Let me tell you, the Obama administration has both their hands in your pocket. They're trying to take every hard dollar you make to give it out in handouts to buy votes. And let me tell you, the money you have in your wallet is worth less and less and less every day, because the printing presses are going 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But I'll say something: They can take our lives. They can take our fortunes. But they cannot take our honor! No one can take our honor!"
13. "Let me tell you, Obama has got both hands in your pockets. And he wants every dollar you make. Because as far as he's concerned, it's not your money, it's government's money, instead of the other way around. They're the ones who are stealing our money to go through their extravagant lifestyles, and to — trying to promote worldwide socialism and worldwide redistribution of wealth, which is all what Obama is about. So, if we don't stop what's going on in Washington, your treasures are gonna disappear."
"However, the Word of God says also: 'If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?' The world has set other foundations. I want to talk to you quickly about two of them: One is atheism, the other is secular humanism.
"If we look at these foundations from two points of view, from the behavioral point of view, of course, they lead about people being governed by their instincts. There is no moral absolute, and this leads us to situational ethics, which unfortunately is being taught in public schools all over America. This means that right and wrong is dependent upon the circumstances. Of course, without God, there is no value to life. That leads to immorality, that leads to sexual abuse, and there is no hope. They live without hope, because there is nothing more.
"If we look at it more from a philosophical standpoint, these foundations of atheism and secular humanism believe that you are your own God. That leads us to something that unfortunately has crept into many churches across America, and it is what I call the Social Gospel. We have so many churches that are trying to become more like the world, with the excuse of attracting the world. The problem is, when the world comes, they don't find anything different. And the social gospel, that could creep into something that is called Liberation Theology, which is a mixture of leftist, pseudo-Christianity with Marxism.
"And that leads directly to a term that we are hearing all the time in the political arena, and that is 'social justice.' It sounds very good, because who would want social injustice? But let me tell you what social justice really is. Social justice is collectivism. Social justice is the rights of a group. It denies individual responsibility. It's a negation of individual responsibility, so social justice is totally contrary to the Word of God.
"That means it also destroys self-reliance, and because they don't believe in God, instead of relying on God, they rely on government. So it promotes a life of dependency – dependency upon government. And of course that leads directly to socialism, and ultimately to communism."15. "Just in the last two months, we saw two abominable decisions from the Supreme Court, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, and promoting homosexual marriage. And the church remained silent. As a matter of fact, the most appalling part of that is Justice Kennedy said: 'I will be swayed by public opinion.' He made that public, and he's the swing vote. Well, the only people picketing in front of the Supreme Court were the homosexuals. Where was the church? How long will we remain silent? God will judge us for our silence."
16. "You know what I call much of the public press? The 'Ministry of Misinformation' of this administration. Just like there's a Ministry of Misinformation in almost every socialist country on the world, we got one here, too: It's called the liberal media."
17. "'If Satan rules in the halls of legislation' — wow, looks like we're reading this week's newspaper. Single-digit approval rate. He says, 'The pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics becomes so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away' — are we there? Sure looks like it…"
18. "And let me say this, actually — blacks, the black churches, need to understand that this administration has not done anything for black people. Black unemployment is almost twice the national average. Black unemployment under 25 years old is 40%. So its about time that minorities that are being so disenfranchised by this administration — they're just being used as pawns — that they wake up and stop drinking the Kool-Aid."
19. "Two months ago, two abominable laws were passed by the Supreme Court. Number one, the Defense of Marriage Act was thrown out, saying 'No longer marriage is between a man and a woman.' I think the book of Genesis speaks very clearly about that, right? It was Adam and Eve, it was not Adam and Steve."
20. "You talk about a cancer? Political correctness is a cancer. And it's killing us."
Cruz: "And of course, since there are no absolutes, when it's convenient, you change the rules. Do we know any politicians that have done that?"
Man in audience: "Hitler!"
Cruz: "We don't have to go that far, Larry. Just go to Washington. Just go to the White House. So, and of course, this leads us — when there are no moral absolutes — leads us to sexual immorality, leads us to sexual abuse, leads us to perversion, and of course, no hope."22. "And of course, this dilution of the Gospel leads to a dilution of those moral absolutes. And that leads us to a perversion … called liberation theology. And liberation theology is a mixture of leftist, ultra-leftist pseudo-Christianity with Marxism. It was a move that became predominant in Nicaragua, and in Peru, and of course is what Jeremiah Wright was preaching for decades, and where our President was brainwashed for 18 years. And of course, that leads you to the other term that you hear all the time: 'social justice.' It may sound very good, but 'social justice' is another cancer. Social justice is group psychology, it's group rights, it's collectivisim, and it's a negation of individual responsibility, which is what the Bible teaches. Individual responsibility. And of course, social justice leads very quickly to socialism, and ultimately to communism."
23. "As the king goes, he's taking the nation with him, unfortunately. And what we got up there in Washington is a tyrant, is a king — who wants to rule us not different than King George was ruling, and caused the American Revolution."
"You know, I am so proud of my son that just two weeks ago, he was able to pass a bill by unanimous decision in the House and in the Senate making it against the law for a known terrorist to come to the United States as an ambassador. And I am sure that — reluctantly — President Obama had no choice but to sign that bill, because he would have been embarrassed if it had gone back , it would have been — If he had vetoed it, it would have been overridden, because it passed by unanimous decision. Iran had appointed one of those 52 terrorists to come to the United Nations as UN ambassador. And that means to come to New York City with diplomatic immunity. God help us. But you know something? It was not coincidental that those 52 hostages were released on the day President Reagan was inaugurated."
25. "You need to be able to decode the rhetoric. For example, have you heard people in this administration talking about 'freedom of worship?' Have you heard the term? They don't talk about 'freedom of religion' – they are trying to change the phrase to freedom of worship. Let me tell you what comes after that. What comes after that is what you have in Cuba today! You have freedom of worship in Cuba. Freedom of worship means you can worship inside a house of worship. That means its confined within the four walls of the church. In Cuba, there are sanctioned churches, where people can go, and they can evangelize — inside the church, they can preach. There are spies there to monitor everything they say. But it is against the law to evangelize outside the four walls of the church. That's where the Obama administration is going, promoting this 'freedom of worship.' Not 'freedom of religion,' 'freedom of worship' — to eradicate religion, outside the four walls of the church. To eliminate all the influence of religion upon society."
"Of course, you know about the new idea of Eric Holder. He calls it: 'Smart Guns.' A gun that only you can fire. You have to have a bracelet that sends a signal – listen carefully — by GPS to your gun. And, if you don't have that bracelet, and you don't send that signal by GPS to that gun, the gun won't fire.
"Now, the fact that signal is by GPS — what else do you think the GPS does? Tells the government who has all the guns, and where they are. You know what the next step is? Confiscation.
"Now, again, look at history. Remember the lessons of history — if we don't learn from history, we're bound to repeat it. Stalin took away the guns. Then he killed 20 million people. Mao took away the guns, then he killed 50 million people. And the same thing with Pol Pot, and with Vario. As a matter of fact, even in my country, in Cuba — you read the history of Cuba. In Cuba there there were two wars of independence, against Spain. The first war lasted 10 years. At the end of that 10-year war, what do you think the Spanish government did? Confiscated all the guns. So when they went to the second war, in 1895, they had no guns. So they used machetes. They had machetes. And they would go with machetes, running as fast as they could, and horses, cutting heads off, and confiscating the muskets from the Spaniards.
"Every tyrant has taken the guns away and then used them against the people.
"I mean, even if you don't look at that, it's the most stupid idea you've ever heard of. Suppose you're taking a shower, and you took that bracelet off, and an intruder walks into your house. And you jump out of the shower, naked, grabbed your gun, and your gun won't fire! Or, you're very, very self conscious — you take a shower with your bracelet on. And you're taking your shower with your bracelet on, and that intruder comes in, and your wife grabs the gun, and the gun won't fire. It's the dumbest idea in the world. But I'll tell you who's gonna love it — all the people that are selling guns. I'll tell you what, if you think we have mountains of people at the gun shows, they're going to multiply ten times over. Because nobody's going to want one of those guns. Conventional guns are going to cost twice as much, because everybody's going to want one, two, three, four.
"And I'll tell you what – probably, without exception, everybody here is going to say: 'Nobody's going to take my bible or my gun.'"27. "We can choose someone that has got a very clear agenda, not only to destroy American exceptionalism, but to make us at the same least common denominator with all nations of the world. Make us a third-world country, and promote redistribution of wealth on a global basis. Not just from the 1%. It goes way beyond that. It's worldwide redistribution of wealth. That's what cap and trade was all about, was about taking so-called 'carbon credits' that your company could buy from some banana republic on the other end of the globe, and funnel hundreds of millions of dollars there, so you could keep on putting smokes out of your smokestack. It wouldn't do anything for the environment, it would just get a transfer of wealth to the rest of the world. Along with that, we have an EPA that is totally out of control, stifling American jobs by the hundreds of thousands…"
The truth is only a controversy to liars.

The politician once dubbed "the scourge of the City" today warned that the UK is becoming "isolated" from the rest of Europe by objecting to a cap on bankers' bonuses.
Michel Barnier, the European Union's Commissioner for Financial Services, said he regretted Chancellor George Osborne's decision to contest the policy in the European Court.
The cap will be the world's toughest curb on pay when it is implemented across Europe next year, and will limit bonuses to no more than a banker's fixed salary — or twice that level with shareholder approval.
The rules will apply to all banks based in Europe — regardless of whether they are American, Asian, Russian or European — and have led to fears that London will lose out to other financial centres like Singapore and New York.
The Chancellor filed his case in the European Court of Justice late last month amid claims that the reforms will simply push up fixed pay and make banks riskier rather than safer.
"The issue of bankers' pay is the only one on which the UK has been outvoted on since I have been in charge of financial regulation," Barnier, pictured, told the Evening Standard. "I regret the fact that the UK has ended up in a minority. It's not necessarily the best subject to be isolated on when you consider the excessive risk-taking that took part in the lead-up to the crisis. We don't want taxpayers bailing out the banks."
He added: "I remain confident the measures are balanced, reasonable and in the interests of financial stability. Our legal basis is the right one."
Since taking up his post in 2010, Barnier has championed reforms, such as the financial transactions tax, which have been fiercely contested in Britain.
With a potential referendum on the UK's membership of the EU on the horizon, he accepts that the 28-member bloc needs reforming, but insists Britain should not leave.
"My first vote as a young French citizen was to say yes to the UK joining the Common Market and I have never regretted that choice," he added. "Rest assured, we have no interest in undermining the UK and no interest in threatening London's place as the largest European financial centre – we want to make sure that the UK and other non-euro countries have the safeguards they need.
"Taxpayers ended up bearing the cost of the excessive deregulation of the Eighties… what we need is regulation that is intelligent and smart."Reuse content

Great place to stay for a group. Very comfortable, functional and handy to town amenities. That's why we have stayed here 3 times. - Philip - December '15
Was a great place, we had 6 adults 2 kids, plenty of room and well appointed. We'd come back. - Vivienne - November '15
Plenty of space for a couple of families to share but could do with some more sofas for comfortable seating.
Close to Bright, close to Hotham and Falls Creek so perfect for a family to spend time doing a variety of activities. - Sue - July '15
The property was clean and had all the crockery needed. Although it technically sleeps 15 people, I think anymore than 3 couples with 1 or 2 children each would be the maximum. The location is great - particularly if you have friends camping at the Harrietville caravan park like we did. - Danielle - March '15
Lovely quiet village 30kms out of Bright. Great local pub for meals and Camellia Lodge was well equipped, spacious home for family or group rental. From Harrietville we went to visit Mount Beauty, Bright and other locations. Loved it. - Donna - November '15
We can also help you with any little extras you would like to complete your Bright getaway.

Perhaps you could stroll down to the old swimming hole for a dip and a BBQ of fresh fish you've caught. Tronoh Lake has a jetty for fishing & dipping your toes in as well as a pontoon for the adventurous swimmer or you could just find a private spot along the River. Make your way back past the ice creamery for a home made ice cream and a play at the park. While your at it check out the historical museum before stopping off at one of the cafes for a fantastic coffee. As the sun sets over the mountains, relax on the balcony of one of two hotels and sip a glass of local wine.
Looking for something a little more adventurous, take the world famous walk to Mt Feathertop. Or maybe one of the more gentle paths?
Cycle the Great Alpine Road or head up to Hotham for some skiing or mountain biking. Fishing, hiking, tubing, 4WDing, if you're only staying for the weekend, you will be back

Posted by Elliot James on Oct 6, 2015 in Hardcore XXX, modeling jobs, Point/Counterpoint, Poll
The SCORELAND Blog is a good platform for the topic I'm going to throw out here.
For years, there's been a debate, on various forums among hardcore porn super-consumers, the guys who watch tons of the stuff like other people watch sports, about the differences on-screen between European porn girls and their American and British counterparts. Who's hotter? Who's natural and who's mechanical in their scenes? Who's more attractive, better at hardcore and better built? Who's more high-energy or, on the flip side, approaching coma levels? This debate never seems to end and probably never will.
But this Blog won't be about that.
In the SCORE universe, the girls with enhanced breasts seem more interested in doing hardcore porn than the natural-breasted girls. Or they may seem more interested because they often do hardcore from the start instead of waiting and returning to try it.
Sheridan Love, Tigerr Benson, Amy Anderssen, Alyssa Lynn, Sandra Star, Claudia Marie, Brook Ultra, Holly Brooks, Claudia KeAloha, Nadia Villanova, Bridgette B., Sharon Pink, Mischel Lee, Cathy Heaven, Patty Michova, Jenna Jayden, Lolly Ink, Barbie Kelley, Red Vixen, Marta La Croft, Harmony Reigns, Angelina Castro, Annelise Croft, Jordan Pryce, Mia Khalifa/Callista, Savannah Stevens and Demmi Valentine do hardcore.
Naturals that do hardcore are as great at sex on-camera as the enhanced girls, but the natural numbers are still behind.
Naturals who do hardcore: Liza Biggs, Maserati, Cat Bangles, Sirale, Elle Flynn, Anastasia Lux, Roxi Red, Katarina Dubrova, Cameron Skye, Maggie Green, Alana Lace, Krystal Swift, Harlow Nyx, Chloe Rose, Veronika, Marie Leone, Barbara Angel, Emilia Boshe and Cassie Cute.
So why this difference between naturals and augmented girls in the hardcore world? And does a breast connection even exist? It may not. Some girls get boob jobs because they want to become porn stars or models. During the early years of SCORE, girls got boob jobs and became dancers then moved into hardcore.
So the question is, why are there more augmented girls in hardcore than the naturals?

Discovering Bex
I've never heard of Bex Shiner. But based on what I've seen, she should become quite famous with the SCORE and Voluptuous fans. If I had been fortunate enough to be locked up in a Big Brotherhouse with her for 51 days, I would have had to
masturbate several times a day or risk getting caught walking around with a serious boner.–D.B.
Uneven Pairs
One of the things I noticed is that one of Hitomi's breasts is larger than the other. For some reason I find that very exciting. Are there other readers who get turned on when a model has breasts of different sizes? I would also like to give a special compliment to lovely Anjii Ross. She is unique. Usually when I jack, I go fast and furious and cum quickly. So I really appreciate when a model is so breathtakingly beautiful that I can sit back, relax and stroke slowly and sensuously while I enjoy every aspect of the lady's beauty. Anjii affects me that way. Her natural breasts hang in a very alluring way and everything about her is perfect. I even stroke with pleasure over Anjii's upskirt view of her sexy panties before she begins to strip. My pleasure over Anjii is intense and prolonged. Thanks for reading.-R.N.
Riding The Bull
Something which would be fun for the models to try would be a topless filmed annual rodeo bull (machine) riding competition with perhaps six venues and up to eight models at each. At the slow, then fast speeds. Longest combined times wins. One or more of each to eliminate two models in each round. Later rounds with two to four goes at each speed.-P.R.
It's safer for a model to ride the cock instead.
Boobs denied gravity
Posted by Elliot James on Jun 5, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Boob Watch, bras, Life With Big Tits, Point/Counterpoint
Dr. Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor of sports science at the University Hospital of Besançon in France, has concluded that women would be better off not wearing bras.
Dr. Rouillon has spent 15 years studying tits. SCORE topped that record by seven years and we're still studying them.
"Medically, physiologically and anatomically, breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra," Rouillon claimed.
You can imagine how the bra industry felt about this announcement. A lot of bra wearers who read about his study did not accept it either. I'm not so sure either.
"This might be true for girls with small boobies, but for girls with D cups or DD cups and bigger, excuse me, but gravity will only take over. Running a marathon if you are DD or FF would be incredibly uncomfortable," said one female critic of Rouillon's hypothesis.
"These are preliminary results," Dr. Rouillon said in a follow-up. "The small sample of 320 young women is not representative of the entire population. That would require something like 300,000 subjects. We will simply have to recruit a larger sample of the female population, and conduct further research."
It's a tough job but someone has to do it and Dave and I don't have the time to help out even though it sounds like fun. I suppose you can write the Doc care of University Hospital in Besançon and volunteer.
SCORE Babes in toyland…the debate continues
Posted by Dave on May 6, 2014 in Deep Inside Scoreland, Letters and comments, Point/Counterpoint, Poll, print magazines
SCORE reader A.D. from Carmichael, California, writes:
"The best way to finish off a fabulous titty show is with an enthusiastic toy show. If Sha Rizel masters masturbation as well as Karina Hart, Merilyn Sakova or Anna Song have, she will be the best SCORE Girl ever. While there are actresses who are very fun fuckers, mostly guys just get in the way of the best models, both by blocking the view and by taking away the girls' control. Consider that for all the name actresses you have at SCORE, any of whom can sell a disc of their scenes alone, there is no male actor worth naming, let alone selling a disc based on their appearance. It's all about the ladies. That's why I'm always eager to spend money on toy shows and rarely spend on boy-girl XXX."
J.D. once again brings up an interesting point that's a subject for debate: toys or XXX? Toys or no toys in masturbation scenes? Four years ago, a SCORELAND poll asked, "Do you like to see solo girl toy usage in still pictures?" There was no majority decision. Although 44% said yes, 30% said no and 26% didn't care either way.
I wonder if that has changed.
I do think J.D. is in the minority and that most SCORELAND members prefer hardcore to solo masturbation, toy or no toy. Am I right about that? Or are times changing again?
Letters. Letters about big boobs, sex, SCORE and Voluptuous.
Posted by Elliot James on Apr 22, 2014 in birthdays, Letters and comments, Life With Big Tits, Other SCORE Group websites, Point/Counterpoint, print magazines
Bob writes: "Guys love girls walking without bras in tight, cleavage-spilling clothes, breasts jiggling and heaving with every step. Yet, for whatever reason, we seldom see any good long shots of this. I mean, for a full minute or so without the dizzy gonzo view of some Handycam, which blurs the movement of the breasts. So the idea is this: Use a dolly and just have the girls do their runway walk in different outfits. It would be a great extension of the standard outfi- trying scenes that we love. But please, ditch the Handycam and keep the angle at slightly above breast level so we have the best view."
M.V. writes: "When the girl's doing a hardcore video, please have her squeeze, lick and suck her own tits as much as possible while the guy's fucking her in different positions. I love to see a girl fixated on her tits. Another thing I like to see is the couple changing positions instead of that part being cut out by the editor. It looks more natural. Please keep this in mind with all your future hardcore videos."
KMan writes: "It isn't that I don't think you should have variety for your sites. I understand that you have to cater to a wide range of fans and tastes. My main concerns stem from that it seems like EVERY scene ends with a creampie of some kind. If it's a girl who's done a few scenes, like Eva Notty, for example, and you do a creampie or an interracial, I have zero problem with that. I just won't view that scene and have others to choose from. However, it seems that every new model's first scenes are creampies, particularly on XLGirls. I am a long-time member of your sites because I like your content and the girls, and I like how the scenes were filmed. They were filmed classy, with a good emphasis on the girls curves and chests and that is usually where the pop shot ended.
"Over the last year or so, it seems that you've gotten away from there, with more and more internal cumshots as the main focus on scenes. I guess my only complaint would be to stick to what SCORE started to be and that was boobs and more boobs. If you wanted to do multiple scenes, or have internal shots on a separate site, then I'd have no issue. It would be as if you started having more and more and finally most scenes, especially with new girls, end with the guy finishing on their feet or their ass. You don't do that, and if you do, you have a site like LegSex.com or BootyLicious.com to feature that. I'm not sure what your overall response is to internal shots. My guess is it is positive if you keep doing them, and I wouldn't expect you to change for me or a few other people if the majority are happy. I would only ask that you keep in mind the spirit of what your main site, SCORELAND, was founded on."
Send your SCORE emails to firstname.lastname@example.com and your V-mag emails to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy Birthday, Summer Sinn (April 23)
I have some questions for you. You might not want to answer them. But, hey, we're all grownups here…right?
Posted by Dave on Apr 3, 2014 in Confessions, Deep Inside Scoreland, Letters and comments, Point/Counterpoint, Poll, Tits in Tight Tops
I'm going to ask you some questions. I'm not going to make any of these questions a poll because polls call for cut-and-dried, yes-or-no answers. I'd like to know not only your answers to these questions but also your feelings about them and, if appropriate, your experiences.
Now, these are not typical questions. You might not like some of them. These are the kinds of questions that most guys don't talk about amongst themselves.
But, hey, this is a Blog. There's a certain amount of anonymity involved. So let's discuss.
1. Have you eaten, or would you ever eat, your creampie out of a girl's pussy?
2. Have you French-kissed, or would you ever, French kiss, a girl immediately after she's swallowed your load…before she's had a glass of water or something to wash it down.
3. Have you ever allowed, or would you ever allow, a girl to toss your salad? You know, lick your butthole. Maybe finger it, too.
4. Would you DP a girl? With another guy, of course. That's what DP is all about. I know a lot of us enjoy watching DP scenes. But would you ever participate in one?
Those are enough questions for now. I have others.
Bella French's pussy bomb, Melissa Manning's centerpiece of cleavage and Lily Madison & her 34G-cups
Posted by Elliot James on Dec 14, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Letters and comments, Life With Big Tits, New at Scoreland, newcomers, Point/Counterpoint, Tits in Tight Tops
The difference among girls: Some girls, like Angel Wicky, do everything. Some girls will go as far as toys and finger masturbation. Some will only do non-explicit nudity.
And that's why SCORELAND offers the breast of all worlds. Something for everyone. Hardcore. Solos. Masturbation. Topless. Full nudity. Spread leg. Open pink.
If one girl's looks or moves don't turn you on, there will be someone else who does.
Maybe that girl who only shows her big boobs will try hardcore one day. Models read the Blog comments and the comments inside SCORELAND. Encouragement, not criticism, is what is needed. If she doesn't do hardcore, that's fine too.
This weekend, we have Angel Wicky in an anal creampie XXX scene with a dude. Today, we have the stunning Montreal hottie Bella French with her wide-screen spreading and two-finger spanking. Tomorrow, curvy and awesomely busty Melissa Manning. Monday, Lily Madison gives herself a hand. And there's a Bex Shiner workout video as a weekend bonus. All of these girls have major sex appeal regardless of how hot they go or will ever go.
In the March '14 Voluptuous magazine, now on sale, B.V from Belgium stated his case. Part of his letter is reprinted here.
"We live in a world where every person has different tastes. I buy your magazine to enjoy breasts and other curves. I don't care about pink and XXX. I just accept that there are other readers who do enjoy it and I don't mind. Not understanding that other people have tastes, too, is worse than being narrow-minded. For me, not showing pink does not mean these models feel too good about themselves to do so. They just don't want to, and that's their right. That makes them even more attractive."
I agree with this philosophy, and I'm glad B.V. took the time and effort to write in.
Out of the "Scorecard" mailbag
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 21, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Confessions, Letters and comments, Point/Counterpoint, print magazines, The Life of an Editor
Letters. We get letters. SCORE and Voluptuous magazines get every type of letter you can imagine. They come in from long-time contributors and one-shot writers. I used to wonder if a digest-sized magazine collection of reader letters–illustrated with hot photos, of course–would sell. Not letters that go into detail about a pictorial or a specific photo but more generalized and sometimes controversial topics. Here's a sampling of the mail that's flown over the transom at SCORE the past few months. Got a letter for "Scorecard"? Write SCORE Magazine, 1629 NW 84 Ave., Miami, FL 33126 or email email@example.com.
Dear SCORE
I'm a huge Minka fan, so it's always great to see her in SCORE, but you cannot be serious with the stud who's handling her in the November '13 issue. Ivan looks like he should still be in school studying, not fooling around with some of the most amazing tits on the planet. Sorry, but the shot where he's reaching around and groping her titties is just ridiculous. He looks clearly out of his depth (not to mention four inches shorter than her), and it shouldn't be happening. Please, if you're going to get someone to handle a goddess like Minka, get someone with some serious experience.-C.A., (To Be Published in February '14 SCORE)
Dear SCORE,
Wow! I never thought SCORE and its readers were so highbrow. Two references to Webster's dictionary in "Scorecard" in six years. And both referencing the same thing: wool sweaters. In the June 2013 issue, D.G. of Liverpool, England complained about the sweaters you are posing your models in not being real sweaters because the sweaters are not made of wool. I lodged the same complaint in the July 2007 issue with my letter ("Models Who Wear Tight Shirts That We Call Sweaters"). As far as I'm concerned, D.G. is right.
Listen, nobody appreciates your sweater pictorials more than me, but let's pose some of your buxom beauties in real wool sweaters. Hey, I know you shoot most of your pictorials in Miami where it never gets cold, but if you're having trouble finding wool sweaters, I've got a whole closet full of them. If you'd like me you to bring a bunch on my next trip to Miami, I certainly will. Trust me, your big-titted babes will explode even a men's sweater. And always remember this: A truly busty girl's tits looks almost comical ripping apart a wool sweater. The only thing is, the effect it will have on your cock is anything but funny. Trust me, try the wool sweater thing if you have a zaftig girlfriend. After seeing how she looks in the sweater, you will be so turned on, she'll thank you later after the third or fourth time you pound her. Just be careful to take her sweater off if you bang her tits. Although I never do. I just make a mess and buy her more wool sweaters.–T.N. (Published in September '13 SCORE)
Dear SCORE
Over the years, The SCORE Group has provided many super-beautiful and super-hot and busty ladies, but in my opinion, Sensual Jane is the hottest and most beautiful babe of all time. Her recent clip ("Mad Sex Skills" with Neeo) was simply off the charts!
I have seen Sensual Jane in other clips from other venues wearing a Star of David necklace, so the fact that she is a beautiful and sexy Jewish babe simply adds to her exotic allure. Over the years, The SCORE Group has offered its readers and website subscribers a bevy of hot busty and beautiful Jewish babes and Sensual Jane is the icing on that cake. Why doesn't The SCORE Group offer a special on their hot busty Jewish babes from over the years? When I was in college (the University of Wisconsin in Madison in the early '70s), 25% of their student body was from the East Coast, and many of these coeds were hot. busty Jewish babes. I was able to date several of these hot ladies and some things I learned from them is that many Jewish girls are from homes where the girls are raised to be comfortable with their own bodies and with their own sexual identities, plus these girls tend to have close relationships with their fathers. These Jewish girls grew up liking men since they were close to their fathers. The net result of these facts tended to be girls who loved sex and loved to fuck. I realize that these statements are generalities, but these statements proved to be true in my case.
In his biography of Barbra Streisand, Barbra: The Way She Is, by Christopher Andersen, the author describes Barbra Streisand as a super-hot sexual animal who bedded-down the following men: Prince Charles, Warren Beatty, Ryan O'Neal, Steve McQueen, Kris Kristofferson, Don Johnson, Jon Voight, Elliott Gould, Andre Agassi, Richard Gere, Omar Sharif, Liam Neeson and Peter Jennings. Anderson also alleges Streisand, 63, was banned from the White House during Bill Clinton's presidency by his wife, Hillary, after the former First Lady discovered the actress had stayed overnight while she was away, the New York Post reports. According to the author, Streisand would invite these men to her home for the weekend where she would drain their balls of semen. She knew every trick to push their hot buttons, including incredible dirty talk, to get them hard and get them to keep fucking her over and over again. I guess Barbra Streisand was one of the hottest Jewish sexual ladies of all time.
Obviously, Sensual Jane is a far more beautiful and desirable Jewish babe than a flat-chested Barbra Streisand, but she seems to have many of the same qualities for being able to drain a man's balls. One thing I've noticed and read over the years about women with hard bodies and a strong sex drive is that women with a high testosterone level tend to have a hard body and a powerful sexual appetite. Sensual Jane seems to fall into this category of women, including porn stars like Devon Lee and Kendra Lust. These women tend to have well-developed gluteus maximus muscles (a well-developed booty) and well-developed thighs and calves. Sensual Jane has these qualities in spades. From your description of her sexual appetite, Sensual Jane has a strong need to suck and fuck daily as well. This lady obviously has a high testosterone level as well (women's ovaries also produce testosterone).
Dear SCORE,
I used to think I was foolish or totally insane to encourage my wife to pursue her oral pleasures with her male friends. But then I read about Kelly Christiansen's husband encouraging Kelly to fuck for your cameras. Somehow, I didn't feel so foolish anymore. It seems like Kelly's husband gets excited seeing Kelly's photos and videos just as much as I enjoy hearing my wife's descriptions of her encounters. She gives me all the details, including how big the guy's cock was and how his cum tasted. And she enjoys the erections I get from listening to her stories. We met in college, where she was very popular in our dorm because of her oral skills. She chose to marry me rather than any of the other male students because I am not the jealous type. She enjoys giving BJs and loves the taste of cum, just as I am sure Kelly C. enjoys her sessions with your studs. Kelly's husband seems to share my opinion that we should encourage our wives to enjoy themselves, and we should be happy for our wives.–Name and address withheld (Published in October '13 SCORE)
SCORE and Voluptuous readers write the darndest things: Part deux
Posted by Elliot James on Jul 13, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Deep Inside Scoreland, Letters and comments, Point/Counterpoint, The Life of an Editor
With the comment boards on our websites and on the SCORELAND Blog, you can send your thoughts about a set, a video or a model immediately. And that's great except many of the comments are one or two sentences. Rarely do I see anything longer than a paragraph. It's just the nature of the electronic times we live in. Communication today is in short bursts. Texts, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and all the rest are the norm. If we ever got a letter handwritten in cursive, I'd fall out of my chair.
Before the alleged miracle of the Web and home computers and instantly transmitting our feedback, there were the old-school letters columns. "Scorecard" began in the premiere issue of SCORE (June '92) and has been part of the magazine every month, with rare exceptions. Intended as a reader forum, "Scorecard" is a place where comments, suggestions, criticisms, ideas, requests and questions have always been welcomed.
Here are some memorable 'Scorecard" letters. Email "Scorecard" at firstname.lastname@example.com or write SCORE, 1629 NW 84th Ave, Miami, FL 33126 USA.
D-Cup Dating
"Scorecard" #209, Letter #1
I was looking at your models and started wishing I could meet them or someone like them (as many readers do). And I was thinking you guys should come up with a dating service for guys (or gals) looking to date busty women. It is hard for me to date because I am busy with school and other things and it is hard for me to find the right person, not to mention hoping she is busty. I gave up my job and place to go back to school and pursue an M.D. degree and had to move back in with my parents and brother. This also makes it hard to date since almost all women are looking for guys that already have a good job and their own place. Anyways, it just seems that you find genuinely nice women who are not materialistic, besides being gorgeous and busty. So, I just had an idea and thought I would write it in.
Thanks for the suggestion. We can sure relate to your goals, but it's not what we do. (We also don't believe in auctioning dates with models to the highest bidder.) Anyway, as soon as you become a doctor, girls will be all over you.
Grocery Store Boobologist
"Scorecard" #487, Letter #5
The other day while grocery shopping, I encountered a girl who is my kind of people, so to speak. She was slim and rather pretty, although at first I hardly noticed that. And she was dressed rather conservatively except that the neckline of her blouse was cut about as low as it could be, legally speaking, to showcase a rack that was huge, quivering and even vascular to some extent. I mean with a blue vein or two showing on the creamy nakedness. Right on the verge of being gross, you know what I mean? This vascularity thing interests me as I have not really seen it too often on tits. I think I would notice it if it were there. Minka has it, for instance, although not real prominently. But with Minka, I figure it is only logical that such massive implants would increase the blood supply of the supporting structures. The grocery store lady, on the other hand, had tits so perfect, both as to size and quiver, that I figured they had to be naturals. My fantasy is that she got them that way and maintains them that way by simply milking them a lot or by having it done. Seems like that would be a better way to go than implants, and with the added advantage that the hormone changes, etc., might make for a lushified pussy, too.–C.H.
The Complete Guide to Lap Dancing
"Scorecard" #427, Letter #1
Dave Rosenbaum and Elliot James' article on lap dancing, "The Complete Guide To Lap Dancing" [October '08 SCORE and archived at SCORELAND], was a hoot. I'm sure much of it was true, but I've found that strip clubs in North Carolina are dull compared to the clubs in Florida. The part of the article that interested me was the so-called SCORE/Voluptuous model with body odor. I love the natural odor of a woman during sex. Call me a freak and a pervert, but I get off on the smell of women. My girlfriend plays golf, and after 18 holes, she's hot and sweaty. The first time we had sex was after her three-hour-plus round with her girlfriends. She wanted to shower first, but I was too horny. She worried about her smell. I told her I was turned on by her smell. We fucked all over the apartment for about 45 minutes. I enjoyed every whiff of her body. She knows I'm a freak and loves that I want to smell her pussy and asshole when I'm giving head. So if a girl has a little stink, go for it and enjoy!–B.H.
"Scorecard" #504, Letter #5
Give The Photographers Credit
I have a suggestion that actually comes from my cousin who is as thrilled with SCORE as I am. He is a professional photographer and he says that one of the reasons for SCORE's excellence, in addition to great models of course, is the quality of the photography. In many XXX spreads, the male model blocks the view of the girl, and it's really the girls that men want. SCORE's photographers are better than most in getting the right angles and viewpoints. I am not a photographer myself, but after my cousin pointed out the obvious to me, I can appreciate the difference. My cousin likes to be recognized for his work and says that the photographers' layouts are rarely given enough credit for their work. SCORE's professional camera artists are among the most highly skilled in the business. My cousin suggests, and I'm passing on the suggestion, that you give the photographer credit by name at the beginning of each girl's layout.–R.N.
We appreciate your, and your cousin's, interest in the photographers. These neglected men have a new pussy and a new pair of tits a foot away from their faces every day. Can you imagine telling girls you never met before, and may never see again, to spread their pussies and suck on their nipples, and the girls do it? The photographers wake up in the morning and that's what they have to look forward to at the office. Sad. They're so unhappy they don't care about getting any credit. Depression hurts.
The tit stat map
Posted by Elliot James on Jun 24, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Boobs in the News, Life With Big Tits, Point/Counterpoint
The German newspaper Bild's "Atlas of cup sizes" map shows the average cup sizes around the Earth.
Most of the land mass that was the former U.S.S.R., plus Finland, Sweden and Norway seem to have the most women with a bra size bigger than a D-cup. I have a very difficult time believing that Finland, Sweden and Norway have the most girls with D+ boobs.
The U.S.A., Venezuela and Colombia have the most D-cups.
Australia, Brazil, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Poland, The Ukraine and Canada have C-cups.
Africa is half B and half A-cups.
China and Japan have A-cups.
Greenland is hopeless also with split A and B-cups.
The problem is there's no the source for the data. Where's this breast size info coming from? Is there some spy satellite orbiting the globe measuring women country by country?

Data Mining: A KDD Process Data mining—core of knowledge discovery process Pattern Evaluation Data Mining Task-relevant Data Data Warehouse Data Cleaning Data Integration Databases Selection Steps of a KDD Process Learning the application domain Creating a target data set: data selection Data cleaning and preprocessing: (may take 60% of effort!) Data reduction and transformation summarization, classification, regression, association, clustering. Choosing the mining algorithm(s) Data mining: search for patterns of interest Pattern evaluation and knowledge presentation Find useful features, dimensionality/variable reduction, invariant representation. Choosing functions of data mining relevant prior knowledge and goals of application visualization, transformation, removing redundant patterns, etc. Use of discovered knowledge Necessity Is the Mother of Invention Data explosion problem Automated data collection tools and mature database technology lead to tremendous amounts of data accumulated and/or to be analyzed in databases, data warehouses, and other information repositories We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge! Solution: Data warehousing and data mining Data warehousing and on-line analytical processing Mining interesting knowledge (rules, regularities, patterns, constraints) from data in large databases What Is Data Mining? Data mining (knowledge discovery from data) Extraction of interesting (non-trivial, implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful) patterns or knowledge from huge amount of data Alternative names Knowledge discovery (mining) in databases (KDD), knowledge extraction, data/pattern analysis, data archeology, data dredging, information harvesting, business intelligence, etc. Watch out: Is everything "data mining"? (Deductive) query processing. Expert systems or small ML/statistical programs Course Overview Motivation: Why data mining? What is data mining? Data Mining: On what kind of data? Data mining functionality Are all the patterns interesting? Classification of data mining systems Major issues in data mining Assumptions Database: The truth persists. A 'good' snapshot available.

No! useful in fraud detection, rare events analysis Trend and evolution analysis Trend and deviation: regression analysis Sequential pattern mining, periodicity analysis Similarity-based analysis Other pattern-directed or statistical analyses Are All the "Discovered" Patterns Interesting? Data mining may generate thousands of patterns: Not all of them are interesting Suggested approach: Human-centered, query-based, focused mining Interestingness measures A pattern is interesting if it is easily understood by humans, valid on new or test data with some degree of certainty, potentially useful, novel, or validates some hypothesis that a user seeks to confirm Objective vs. subjective interestingness measures Objective: based on statistics and structures of patterns, e.g., support, confidence, etc. Subjective: based on user's belief in the data, e.g., unexpectedness, novelty, actionability, etc. Can We Find All and Only Interesting Patterns? Find all the interesting patterns: Completeness Can a data mining system find all the interesting patterns? Heuristic vs. exhaustive search Association vs. classification vs. clustering Search for only interesting patterns: An optimization problem Can a data mining system find only the interesting patterns? Approaches First general all the patterns and then filter out the uninteresting ones.
