Students Make Their Voice Heard on Immigration Reform
Thousands of students protesting tough immigration bills being debated in Congress marched in California, Texas, Nevada and other states Friday. Most demonstrations were peaceful, but there was a stabbing during a protest in Virginia. The demonstrations coincided with the 79th anniversary of the birth of the late Cesar Chavez, the co-founder of the United Farm Workers union who became a champion of poor, Hispanic agricultural workers in the 1960's and '70's. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/03/31/immigration.rallies.ap.ap/index.html KJ

Prisoner Fruit Pickers? NOT!
House conservatives criticized President Bush, accused the Senate of fouling the air, said prisoners rather than illegal farm workers should pick America's crops and denounced the use of Mexican flags by protesters Thursday in a vehement attack on legislation to liberalize U.S. immigration laws.

Will the Mass Marchs Fuel a Backlash?
Marc Cooper writes in LA Weely about whether the immigrant marchs this week will result in a backlash like those against Prop 187 did in 1994. His answer is no. See http://www.laweekly.com/dissonance/13024/whose-backlash/
Here is a summary:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. At least in physics. In politics, however, the equation isn't always symmetrical. A mild push might invite a whopping Sunday punch. Likewise, an unbridled onslaught might go completely unanswered.
So what about this nationwide chain reaction of immigrant demonstrations, school walkouts, a freeway blockade, and Saturday's historic rally that brought hundreds of thousands into the streets of Los Angeles? Will this feisty and largely unanticipated show of force by an "illegal" underclass — replete with flapping Mexican flags — provoke some ferocious, crushing backlash of xenophobia and reprisal? Are we in for an amped-up repeat of 1994, when a much smaller downtown demo of Latinos helped fuel, a few weeks later, a revanchist white-voter turnout in favor of the rights-stealing Proposition 187?
This nightmare scenario is what some analysts are predicting. Problem is, they've got it backward. The feared nativist backlash has been in full motion now for some time — long before the humongous immigrant demonstration last weekend. The groveling media suck-up to the minuscule Minutemen show (hundreds of journalists shamelessly traipsing behind a few score vigilantes) a year ago established a twisted and ugly frame for a national debate that had been delayed way too long. The Lou Dobbsian jibber-jabber about "broken borders" reached its crescendo last Christmas, when the House passed the outrageous Sensenbrenner bill that would deem all so-called illegal aliens — and their employers — felons. (Undocumented workers currently are in violation of civil, not criminal, codes.)

We encourage Immigration Daily readers to take action using the to communicate a pro-immigration message to your Senator.

Pew Hispanic Center Report: America's Immigration Quandary
Here is the latest report from the Pew Hispanic Center on public attitudes toward immigration. http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=63
Here is a summary:
Americans are increasingly concerned about immigration. A growing number believe that immigrants are a burden to the country, taking jobs and housing and creating strains on the health care system. Many people also worry about the cultural impact of the expanding number of newcomers in the U.S.
Yet the public remains largely divided in its views of the overall effect of immigration. Roughly as many believe that newcomers to the U.S. strengthen American society as say they threaten traditional American values, and over the longer term, positive views of Latin American immigrants, in particular, have improved dramatically.
Reflecting this ambivalence, the public is split over many of the policy proposals aimed at dealing with the estimated 11.5 million-12 million unauthorized migrants in the U.S. Overall, 53% say people who are in the U.S. illegally should be required to go home, while 40% say they should be granted some kind of legal status that allows them to stay here.

Asylum Brief in Child Soldier Case
From Stephen Yale-Loehr: Download uganda_briefredacted.doc KJ
Attached is a redacted version of a BIA brief recently filed by the Cornell Asylum/CAT appeals clinic on behalf of local counsel in Minnesota. The asylum case involves a child soldier from Uganda who was an unwilling member of the Lord's Resistance Army before coming to the US. The case also raises issues concerning the one-year deadline for filing for asylum, and whether the "persecutor" bar applies to child soldiers. The teenager won asylum before the IJ; the DHS appealed.

Brooks' Appeal to "Social Conservatives"
David Brooks comes out swinging in favor of immigration today. This is not an economic take on the issue. Rather, it is an appeal to social conservatives. Brooks wants to let them know that Latinos are on their side. A link to his NYTimes op-ed is here.
Brooks views Latino immigrants as deeply religious and family-friendly: "the antidote to the excessive individualism that social conservatives decry." He notes that as immigration rates have soared, violent crimes have fallen, as have teen pregnancies and abortion rates. He observes that Latino immigrants generally integrate successfully into the American economy and society. He concludes:
Social conservatives, let me ask you to consider one final thing. Women who have recently arrived from Mexico have bigger, healthier babies than more affluent non-Hispanic white natives. That's because strong family and social networks support these pregnant women, reminding them what to eat and do. But the longer they stay, and the more assimilated they become, the more bad habits they acquire and the more problems their subsequent babies have.
Please ask yourself this: As we contemplate America's moral fiber, do the real threats come from immigrants, or are some people merely blaming them for sins that are already here?
While the editorial raises some interesting issues, I'm betting that, by and large, social conservatives are not going to rush right out to jump on the bandwagon.

The U.S. Immigration Laws at Work: Chapter 10001
The Manchester-based Hallé had been due to visit the US next year for two concerts, including one at the Lincoln centre in New York, the country's principal classical music venue. But managers said yesterday they had cancelled the tour when they realised that the cost of arranging the visas, estimated at £45,000, would render the trip uneconomic.
Other agents said rock musicians, also fed up with the process and expense, were refusing to visit the US to work. Katie Ray, of Traffic Control Group Ltd, which secures visas and work permits mainly for rock bands, said some artists were now choosing not to tour in the US.
Sounds like the INS versus John Lennon all over again? What's the federal government got against music?

A Report from www.ilw.com on the Progress of Immigration Reform
Immigration Reform Bill Update
The Senate Judiciary Committee's immigration reform bill (300 pps.) is due for consideration on the Senate floor where the debate is about to begin at press time. This bill contains a number of amendments to the original Specter bill:
++AgJobs has been included
++DREAM has been included
++there is a provision to limit guest workers to occupations with less than 11% unemployment in a MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area).
++there is a provision to delay implementation of all sections of the bill for at least 90 days to determine if errors need to be corrected
++there is a provision to exempt nurses and physical therapists from green card caps for 7 years
Apart from the above, most of the new provisions of the reported bill are taken straight from McCain Kennedy. For a helpful summary by Gregory Siskind, see : http://www.visalaw.com/06mar4/
We note that although Senate Majority Leader Frist withdrew his cloture motion yesterday, and press reports suggest that Rep.Hastert and Rep. Boehner are open to compromise, we stand by our opinion that comprehensive immigration reform will die in
conference in 2006.

No Mad Men Chain Smoking Going On In This Office. Why Do I Have Such Huge Ashtrays? Status: Useless.
The Girlfriend gave up smoking a couple months ago and hasn't smoked in the house in many years yet I've got dozens of ashtrays. Only one has ever seen a butt and actually, it's hers. It's a cool ashtray on a stand that sits just outside the front door that has been abused by mother nature (and the weight of hundreds of butts) for two years. Maybe I'll clean it up and see if it can be saved this winter. Until then, check out these enormous smoking apparatuses!
Hmmmm... Is this an ashtray? I'm not sure. There aren't any divots into which one would
wedge their smokey smoke. I don't know what else this might be used for though. I guess
you could toss some candies on it or something. I'm going with "inconvenient ashtray"
since neither I nor anyone else will ever be using it. I've actually seen this same shape
before at one or another of the retro shops or antique malls around town. This was
likely a somewhat popular piece to decorate yourself...in 1970!
This blue and green beauty was not only one of the first vintage modern ashtrays I acquired
but also one of the first pieces of Royal Haeger in my collection. I do have one other Royal
Haeger ashtray in this color combination but the rest of my Royal Haeger is in bright brilliant
orange. These Royal Haeger pieces (designed by Royal Hickman) are the perfect launch
pad for the budding vintage modern collector. They aren't everywhere but they aren't super
pricey either and they have classy yet somewhat radical shapes and colors. Haeger is still
making pottery and they even have a Royal Haeger gallery in their factory store.
This last ashtray is from an unknown manufacturer but I have seen it before in other venues
with a different finish. Speaking of finish...making ya hungry for some popcorn? Doesn't it
remind you of the ubiquitous Popcorn Ceilings we've all had above our heads at one time
or another? I actually like popcorn ceilings but not the pre '77 Asbestos variations. This
ashtray is kinda cool because one end of the "tube" is closed off but the other end was left
open to pour out the ashes otherwise you'd never be able to get them all out! This is by far
the classiest ashtray I've got in my collection and I doubt I'll ever find a cooler one. If you've
got a picture of a cool ashtray or collection of ashtrays, leave a link in the comments for the
rest of us to check out! Don't worry if you can't make it a clickable link...I'll leave a
comment where I'll make them clickable after every few that show up.

Sex for the first time
August 26th, 2009
ok so i was on my period the first two times.. for the first time i didn't notice till the morning when i looked but my tampon was clean no blood at all..cause we had sex at night and idk i just looked in the morning when i woke up..but when i went to the bathroom my tampon was bloody..(my cherry or whatever{i forget whats its called at this moment} so the blood wasn't from that cause i know its suppose to hurt the first time you have sex and your suppose to bleed) but he said there was no blood and the mattress was clean to.. but we had sex the next night and my tampon was dirty..and there was blood on the bed.. and the night my period finished we had sex...
i thought he was useing a condom cause weve been dateing for six months and since before we even dated just when i met him he always had a condom in his pants.. but we were out camping and everytime it was at night and i cant see anything at all.. when its that dark.. and i dont know how it's suppose to feel so i thought he was useing a condom..
but when we got home he told me that he didnt have condoms up there and that we didnt use any protection at all..
so i went into major freak out mode and i freaked on him and then went and bought condoms..gave them to him and told him its going to be along time before we have sex again..
but it just seems to keep poping up into my head and im scared really scared..
me please

Especially eHealthy
The hymen (your 'cherry') does not have to tear or bleed when you have sex the first time. As you go through puberty it becomes very flexible and are less likely to be painful or bleed. For some girls this happens when puberty start, for others only a few years later. You are using tampons so it seems like your hymen is already very flexible.
When you are this young, your cycles and ovulation is also very irregular and it is difficult to know if you were fertile when you had sex. The good news is that I think you are saying that it happened during the first two days of your period?
If it was during your period, you are not very likely to be fertile. It is however not a guarantee that you can't become pregnant. If you ovulate a few days after the sex, you can become pregnant and at your age anything is possible.
If it was not during your period, you should not be using tampons. Tampons are really bad for your vaginal health if you use them while you are not flowing on your period!
It is your responsibility to make sure you are protected. If you get pregnant, you end up with the baby. He does not have to worry about it as it mess up your life. The fact that he was carrying condoms around even before he met you also shows that he might have been sexually active and might be infected with an STD. Having sex without a condom is a really stupid thing to do!!
Unfortunately you will just have to wait and see. You can take a pregnancy test a week after you miss your next period (or 25 days after the sex if your period is not regular). Make sure you follow the instructions exactly!!

An epic battle begins when a middle-aged American husband and father of two learns that he has lost his job. Keeping the news from his nagging wife and wound-up children, he packs up the family and embarks on a full day of park hopping amid enchanted castles and fairytale princesses.
Soon, the manufactured mirth of the fantasy land around him begins to haunt his subconscious. An idyllic family vacation quickly unravels into a surrealist nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians.
I'm looking forward to this. It should be interesting to try and figure out how they filmed it.
LOL, what kind of clip was that? It just sort of... ends without any real conclusion.

There's old school, and then there's OLD school.
Stand Up Guys stars Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin, three of the most recognizable actors over 65 working today, in one movie as retired mobsters reunited for a night of drug, sex and guns-filled debauchery. Pacino plays Val ("Al" – "Val" – go figure), just out from a long stint in prison. Walken is Val's very Walken-ish double-crossing best friend Doc, and Arkin plays another friend, Hirsch. Lionsgate is releasing the movie, pegged as both a drama and an action comedy, with a December awards-qualifying run, before its nationwide opening Jan. 11, 2013.
If you love minimalist 1970s-era exploitation and action film posters, then you'll totally dig this exclusive poster for the film with its black silhouettes, bright racing stripes, and all the old school flair of a '70s poster for Rocky. See it below.
"They don't make 'em like they used to" is the tag line. We agree.

There have been so many non-English speaking commercials for Final Fantasy XIII, but we were treated to the first English speaking commercial during the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game. The reason for this was because the Xbox 360 game developed by Square Enix was sponsoring the event.
The reason that we mentioned only the Xbox 360 above was the fact that only the Microsoft games console was the only version mentioned. The commercial highlighted that there is to be a Special Edition Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 Bundle, only time will tell if Sony will launch a Limited Edition PS3.
Below you will see the First English Final Fantasy XIII Commercial; well you might have not been concentrating too much on it last night as your mind might have been on the NBA game. The PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the game will be launched on March 9, 2009.

By: Howard N. Lupovitch (author)PaperbackMore than 4 weeks availability

Topics covered include: * the emergence of Judaism as a religion and way of life * the development during the Middle Ages of Judaism as an all-encompassing identity * the effect on Jewish life and identity of major changes in Europe and the Islamic world from the mid sixteenth through the end of the nineteenth century * the complexity of Jewish life in the twentieth century, the challenge of anti-semitism and the impact of the Holocaust, and the emergence of the current centres of World Jewry in the State of Israel and the New World.Create a review

This VFX reel for Michel Gondry's masterpiece is an eye-opener. Advertisement In particular, this reel shows how a great filmmaker can use CG to help tell a story, instead of just overwhelming you with oceans of Velveeta. These effects, and the reel, were created by Buzz Image, a VFX firm which — true to the state of the industry generally — apparently doesn't exist any more.

I'll be at Origins in Columbus OH next week. I'm fairly easy to spot if you'd like to talk, at 6'6", 305 pounds (I was impressed with the size of NFL offensive tackles until I became that size), bald on top (not male pattern baldness, just a general lack of hair), mustache, glasses. I may be wearing a hat at times so the baldness may not be evident.
I am giving four different (free) talks about game design, Friday at 7 PM, Saturday at 11AM and 7, and Sunday at 10AM. One hour to talk, then up to an hour for questions. See the program for topic details.

Title: | Acting for a Reason |

Abstract: | Starting from the debate over whether practical reasons are mental states or the facts to which those mental states are a response, this chapter argues that being motivated by a practical reason must be a reflexive form of motivation, that is, a response to a certain content that at the same time involves consciousness of the appropriateness of responding to that content in just that way. This feature of practical reasons is captured only by Kant and Aristotle's accounts of action. For both, the object of choice and the locus of moral value is an act done for the sake of an end. The adoption of a Kantian maxim or an Aristotelian logos is a form of motivation that expresses the agent's endorsement of doing a certain act for a certain end, and so expresses her endorsement of the appropriateness of her own motivation. |

THERE'S A SIMPSONS MOMENT FOR EVERY HAPPENING: In the episode where the Simpsons house is given a mobile phone mast, Lisa and Homer visit a museum. Lisa is delighted to see Abe Lincoln's hat, while Homer is more taken with Fonzie's leather jacket. Lisa's reaction is that the idea of putting an item of clothing from a TV character into a museum is ridiculous, and clearly, we're meant to agree with her.
Now, join us back in real life, where Clay Aiken's shirt and pants are being displayed in the North Carolina Museum of History - that's right, of History. It's not even the pants he was wearing when he won the American Idol final; it's just a costume from earlier in the series - presumably the Smithsonian had already nabbed his victory trousers.
But if we put pop stars trousers into museums, what will be left for the Hard Rock Cafe?

Democrats' Grass Roots Shift the Power
Will the dems grassroots movement reshape party politics? Read all about it in today's Washington Post. The facts speak for themselves:
1. the republicians beat the dems at the grassroots game in 2004.
2. given the make-up of the party, the democrats should have been able to get out more votes.
Democrats' Grass Roots Shift the Power (free reg required) (hat tip to ameriblog)
It is no surprise that Democratic leaders are paying much closer
attention to grass-roots activists. In 2003 and 2004, those activists
became prodigious contributors to the Democratic Party, to Kerry and to
Dean, who first tapped into their potential through the Internet during
his campaign for the Democratic nomination.

"Hurry!,…. Someone's Coming!" 1
….Those words sent the adrenalin rush we were hooked on. For 3 years my sister in law Cindy and I had slowly lusted for each other. I had wonderful dreams about her…sometimes wet ones, right while I was by my sleeping wife. Cindy told me she would wait until her husband went to sleep and carefully slip her finger in her pussy and slowly massager her clit and fantasize it was my tongue.
... After a while she would have a twitching heavenly orgasm. The next time we got a chance to swap stories we would tell each other how hot it was. This lusting was building up and up over time and we were at the stage where given a chance, I would feel her tits real quick as she would feel my dick thru my pants. It was very exciting and we were only cheating mentally and a few feels.
…We knew one day we would end up going further. It finally happened one afternoon. It had built up to a fever and we had opportunity. Her husband was at work and my wife was gone for about an hour. We stood by the window where we could see if anybody came in the driveway. The timing was there. She was standing there with her short skirt on and big sweater with no bra. I came up behind her and put my arms around her. She jumped and stepped back from the window.
... She whispered: ("…let's step over here where no one can see in.") She was really breathing hard as my hands felt her tummy. She put her hands back and began to feel my erection. My hands went up under her sweater and for the first time….I felt her bare tits. It was very tense. We could feel each others heart beats and hear our breathing. I felt her hard wonderful nipples as she moaned a little. I felt her pulling my zipper down. Slowly in went her trembling hand to feel my max erection.
...She carefully stroked it and then felt all around it. I let one of my hands slip down and under her skirt. I felt the silky texture of her panties. I rubbed over her pussy as she jumped a little. I could feel her pubic hair and a little wetness between her legs. She gasp for air. She squeezed my erection and whispered: (" I've dreamed about kissing this, licking it and a lot more. Someday I would love to suck on it for real.") I slipped my hand inside her panties. I felt her soft bush as she parted her legs.
... She jumped a little and moaned as my finger slipped over her damp clit and down in her warm wet pussy. She moaned again and whispered: ("…your going to give me great dreams tonight, Jim….someday…someday we…") I added a second finger and let my thumb rub over her clit. Her ass pushed back on me in a jolt from the tingle that shot thru her pussy. She worked my erection out of my pants and put it between her legs under her skirt. She worked her hips back and forth on her pussy as she continued to moan softly.
….This was the furthest we had ever gone with each other and it was heaven. I too thought about having a great wet dream tonight from our advanced foreplay.
…. A car pulled the driveway. We panicked a little and rushed to return to normal. My zipper was stuck down! I struggled to get it up. "Hurry! Someone's coming!" She tried to say quietly. I headed for the bathroom as Cindy took a big breath. It was my wife, her sister, returning from shopping. As she opened the door Cindy faked doing some exercises in the living room. She was pink faced and winded a little to cover her arousement from us. I got my zipper up finally and came out of the bathroom. I held a newspaper over my descending erection.
We both thought…what's the worse that could happen? …Cindy and her sister Karen (my wife) get into a big fight. Cindy moves out and I don't get any sex from the wife for a long time?
….there was a lot more going on in the household that people knew about. You see divorced Cindy, now lived with Jim and wife Karen. Cindy and Karen were very close sisters and just 9 months apart. They had their bi-curiosities at the same time and satisfied them when they were just teens. Today, once and while they liked to re-live those bi-feelings they both had. Jim knew this and didn't mind a bit, as he loved to watch them at first and eventually join them in a hot three-some.
….Jim had come up with a new game called: "What If"…. The three of them would tell a story of 'what if…' and the stories would make the all aroused and horny. They all laid on the floor in their robes after watching some porn vids and began their game. Jim had started it off with the "Cindy and Jim" sneaking an affair story.
...The girls got real hot and Cindy asked if she could continue telling the story. They all agreed. The all snuggled together for some Cindy 'feel ups' during the story….Cindy began….
….I knew sooner or later Jim and I would not be able to keep away from each other. It had gone on to long and we both loved the sneaking feels and the pure lust of wanting what we couldn't have….sex with each other. To feel his arms around me that day put such great feelings in my pussy, I'll never for it. The risk of time limited before my sister returned only made it more exciting.
...Feeling his erection behind me was awesome. I want to get on my knees so bad and make him cum as I deep throated him. I dreamed about the day I could do this. I used my husband as a fantasy tool. I would close my eyes and fantasize it was Jim I was sucking on. My husband never knew it as he got the benefits from my fantasy. He rarely licked my pussy, but my fingers were Jim's tongue.
...I masturbated right in bed beside him, as he snored. I would push the covers down and spread my legs with my knees up. I squirmed as I fantasized Jim's hands were wrapped around my legs , licking my pussy so hot. I would get so hot I would lift my pussy up to meet his lips and orgasm right as he ate me. I would squirt hard as his tongue teased my clit.
….as Cindy told the story Jim and Karen began to softly fondle her. She lay back on the pillow and let them play with her as she told the hot story. Karen had a story brewing also, but would she ever get a chance to tell it? Things were heating up on that floor…..Cindy continued…
….It was our first time to go this far and the feeling of him massaging my hard nipples was making me very wet. I had to get my hands on his erection as I felt the lump against my butt cheeks. I reached back to find his zipper and pull it down behind me. My fingers trembled a little just knowing what was about to happen. Jim didn't wear underwear that day and I felt his warm erection finally. I was very erect as I just had to stroke it. It was awesome to finally feel it for real……
…while Cindy told the story, Karen and I played with her body. We opened up her robe and on each side of her pussy she had sensitive spots. We rubbed them softly just to watch her squirm. "Stop it!" she giggled at us and then continued her story. This happened several times as we both knew all her hot spots and kept making her squirm and very horny.
...She began to talk in spurts and gasps of breath while trying to talk. I just had to open her legs up and blow my breath on her wet pussy. "Stop it you guys!"…she would moan. "Let me finish the story, damn you!" We let her finish as we all giggled.
….I felt Jim's warm hand go inside my damp panties and feel my bush. I got skin chills as he continued to feel for my clit. Touching my clit always makes me jump a little at first. I felt wonderfully erotic as his fingers glided down my slit. I spread my legs apart for him. Damn he was good at feeling my pussy as his fingers went inside of it. I could have orgasmed so easy, but I wanted to make it last.
...I got his erection out and worked it under my skirt behind me. It slipped under my pussy and rubbed on the entrance. I worked my hips back and forth to feel his erection rub on my pussy. I want to remember this part for when I masturbated next. About that time…..we heard a car pull in the driveway….
….Karen quickly asked to take the story from here. We agreed and now Cindy and I snuggled close to her as she started in. Now we opened her robe for some story time - play time on Karen….
….I told Cindy and Jim I was going shopping for about an hour. I did, but got a few little items. I then headed for a guy I wanted to fuck at the local market. I was really horny because my husband, 'Mr. dull', hadn't had sex with me for a long time.
...I pulled my van over to the side. I went in and signaled for him to come and help me with some groceries. He followed me out to my van. I had on a short skirt with no panties, a plain blouse with no bra. I had him get in the sliding door in the back. I told him to close the sliding door. He looked so puzzled as in the back was just a big blanket. I leaned over showing half my tits to him and smiled. "Do you like my tits.?" He stammered something.
... "Reach in and get a hand full." His eyes got real big. I had to take his hand and put it inside my blouse. I got on my back and pulled him on top of me. "Now take out your hardon, I can feel it. I don't have a lot of time and we're going to fuck right here, right now." I had to reach down and pull his hardon out and raise my skirt. I worked his hardon in my wet pussy and began to fuck him. He finally got the picture and started fucking with me. I told him to suck on my tits. He did.
...I wrapped my legs around him and now he was starting to fuck me like I wanted. "Fuck me, you sexy man, fuck me good." I said. Now he flat got with it and started fucking me fast and hard. I squeezed his butt cheeks and moaned in his ear. "Oh yes baby…do me hard…cum in me like you mean it….Yes! Cum for me …oh god yes!" He shot a big load in me and it was a good one.
...I moaned and kept fucking him. "Roll over", I said. I moved down and sucked on him for a second cum as he bucked his hardon in my mouth. I lick it all and swallowed it down. "OK, go." I said, as he put his dick away and got out. I got in front and watched him stagger into work. I came home and found you two faking a innocent look. 'Bullshit', I said to myself, those two are fucking behind my back!…..
Bravo! Cindy and I clapped and said what a hot story that was.
….Karen smiled all pleased. We then attacked her right then. She moaned that we should be ashamed of ourselves fucking behind her back in our story and that we better include her next time or there would be hell to pay. We drug her hot horny body into our big bed……
* In part 2, Jim takes turns fucking the girls as 'while' they have a bi affair. Later in the week, the girls collaborate in a 'What If…' story as they catch Jim with a teen girl…

I'm not gonna lie; the whole "leaked cell phone picture" thing is really unseemly, especially when the person seems to be perfectly nice. Like Olivia Munn, who denies being the girl in some pictures that showed up over the weekend. It's obviously her in the bikini pictures, those are from her twitter or website, but she tweeted that if anyone really did hack her phone, they'd be pretty bored.
Which would mean someone really did their homework. For example:
- This bikini picture, which is real, and this NSFW naked picture, which is reportedly "fake", were both taken with a Black Berry 9000, which is the phone she uses.
- This picture says "for Chris only", and her ex boyfriend is Chris Pine. And that set uses the same font as other pictures that she's written on and posted on her twitter.
- Whoever this girl is, she seems to be wearing the same bra and ring as Olivia Munn, and she's in the same bathroom as this naked girl.
But that's not Olivia Munn. She says. And I hope. And who knows, maybe they are fake. For one, the headline picture looks like it was taken in an Ethan Allen showroom, and I bet it's illegal to go there wearing only lingerie and then invite people to fuck her pussy like they owned it.

"It's real important for the guys to know they can count on me the rest of the year."
Cristobal Huet
"The difference tonight was Kovalev. He's a great player who can change a game like that with his skills."
"We had a chance to clear the zone and we didn't do it, and then it ended up going behind the net, and I turned one way and I looked in front and Ian was there to bury it five-hole."
"We played very good, and when you are up 1-0 halfway through the third period, you expect to get something out of it. That is the way it is, we lost the game and that's that."
"We need more jump and start believing we can do it. They played a great second period and it was very tiring for us."
"We showed a lot of guts and made some desperation plays, we had guys going down to block shots, it was crazy. I stopped the puck with my stick, then it almost hit me and went in, but it stayed out. I was a bit lucky too, I have to admit, but I'll take it."
"We're not happy with the point, but we'll take it."
"You just want to give your team a chance by not letting in the third one. But I think the whole game, we were very ready mentally and physically to compete against them."
"It was a huge two points for us before the break."
"He had plenty of time, and I had my pad down. I figured he would try to lift the puck, so I just lifted my pad a little bit. I was a little bit lucky, but it gave us a chance to win."

The soonest appointment to repair all damage is over a month away. In the meantime, the red tape over the tail light falls off every day. What happens if I get pulled over, and receive a fix it ticket that is due sooner than my repair date when the taillight assembly itself costs more than the deductable I have to pay when I get all the damage fixed? Should I just park it until then? Dear Juneau Resident,

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Oya Restaurant & Lounge Restaurant Review: Oya has evolved into more than a glitzy backdrop for the über-cool social scene. Indeed, the décor of white leather and marble blends with pizzazz against a striking chain-link curtain to go with the floor-to-ceiling Capiz shells. In the French-Asian genre you have small and big plates, and sides are referred to as micro plates. Apple-jícama salad is a refreshing starter, and may be followed by the chef's pork ribs with a selection of soy, barbecue or ginger accents, or the comfortably rich Peking crêpes with duck confit. For a finale-like small plate, try the rather straightforward herb-crusted lamb with coarse grain mustard to complement the rich meaty bites. Oya is all about options, with a filet or the scallops with pad thai noodles available as big plates. Add in a sushi menu, a prix-fixe meal, and an ambitious, enthusiastic sommelier and dinner can be an adventure. There is an enlightened saké line-up, too, that adds another dimension to the beverage program. From day one, the best dessert has been a banana bread-and-butter pudding with rum raisin ice cream and caramel sauce. It's still true today. |

Two flyers have made history after they performed a daring wingsuit jump from the summit of Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps.
Géraldine Fasnacht and Julien Meyer made a gruelling eight-hour climb up the east face of the mountain on Saturday. The experienced wingsuit fliers reached an altitude of 4,400 meter before performing the incredible feat.
In extraordinary footage, the pair did a countdown before plunging off the edge of the mountain and swooped through the air before eventually releasing their parachutes.
The duo have performed stunts together in the past. Only last year they climbed up both Mont Blanc du Tacul and the Mont-Maudit to Point Durier in France for a 3,000 metre wingsuit flight into Chamonix.
Matterhorn has inspired climbers and extreme sports enthusiasts alike. The Swiss mountain was the last great peak of the Alps to be climbed and mountaineers makes an annual ascent along the northeast Hörnli ridge. In 2011 Matthias Giraud made the first ski-basejump off Matterhorn.

Stolen Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution
In keeping with its commitment to "Put Patients First," Dey, L.P. ("Dey') would like to take this opportunity to inform its healthcare partners regarding a recent occurrence of stolen medication.
On or about August 6, 2009, a truck tractor-trailer which was not affiliated with Dey, containing 35,760 cartons of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution, 0.083%, unit-dose vials was stolen. The truck theft occurred in the town of McKinney Texas.
The tractor-trailer contained two (2) complete Lots of product, each identified with the Dey label and NDC number. The specific product information is as follows:
Product Description | Product NDC # | LOT # | CARTON QUANTITY | Lot Expiration Date |

49502-697-29 |
17,712 |
June 2011 |
18,048 |
July 2011 |
These two Lot numbers were not available commercially prior to the theft. All of the product cartons in these two Lots were stolen. Therefore, no vial or carton of either Lot is part of the legitimate pharmaceutical supply chain.
Pharmacies are encouraged to verify pedigree documentation for all purchases of Dey labeled Albuterol Sulfate, 0.083%, 30-vial cartons and product with either of these two Lots numbers should not be sold, distributed or dispensed.

It's five years since the last film from the great Chinese director Wong Kar-Wai. It's eight since his last Chinese-language film, "2046." And depending on your tolerance for the latter, it's twelve since his last great film, "In The Mood For Love." But Kar-Wai has such a hugely impressive body of work behind him — from "Ashes Of Time" to "Chungking Express" — that anything he does will have a fever-pitch of anticipation behind it, and that only seems to get greater the longer he takes with his latest project, "The Grandmaster."
A biopic of legendary martial artist Ip Man (Tony Leung), a legendary master of Wing Chun who taught Bruce Lee, among many others, the film also stars Zhang Ziyi, Chen Chang and Song Hye-Ko and began filming two-and-a-half years ago, in December 2009. But in true Wong fashion, the epic shoot lasted for nearly two years, on-and-off (shooting was still taking place late last year and there is more to come — more on that in a moment). There was no sign of the film at Cannes last year, and all we have to prove that the film actually exists is a teaser trailer that premiered nearly 18 months ago.
But recently, signs have started to arrive that we might be seeing the film before the year is out, with Chinese distributor Bona Film revealing that it should land at the end of 2012, and rumors that an official Chinese release date would be revealed imminently. And indeed it has been, as Kevin Ma (@TheGoldenRock), a writer for the site LoveHKFilm, has received the official announcement from the distributor that the film will hit mainland China on December 18, 2012, over three years after filming got underway .
This probably means that U.S. audiences will not get to see it before 2013: Wong's films have traditionally opened in China long before they come to the West, and while Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures has the rights, there's no distributor proper attached at present (although the Weinstein Company would probably be a good bet, given the close relationship between the two companies). If we're very lucky, we may get a brief Academy-qualifying run, as Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers Of War" did last year, but even that's likely to be touch-and-go.
While this announcement is curiously close to Thursday's reveal of the Cannes Film Festival line-up, don't hold your breath for the "The Grandmasters" making an appearance even if the last four films from Wong Kar-Wai had their premiere there. Reports out of Asian media in recent days have revealed that the last round of filming on "The Grandmaster" will take place in May, pretty much ruling out any trip to the south of France. So in short, looks like we won't be seeing this for ourselves until 2013.

RICHMOND, Va. — Cigarette makers Reynolds American and Lorillard on Friday said they are in talks of a possible merger that would combine two of the nation's biggest tobacco companies.
Lorillard stock is surging 4.5% premarket; Reynolds' is up 0.5%.
The Financial Times reports that merger talks are in the "final stages" and that the North Carolina-based companies would have a combined market capitalization of $56 billion.
Bloomberg, citing unnamed "people familiar with the situation" says an agreement -- if one comes -- could be announced as early as Monday.
The announcement follows media reports over the past few months about the possible combination that would create a formidable No. 2 to rival Altria Group Inc., owner of Philip Morris USA.
In separate statements, the companies said no agreement has been reached and there's no assurance that one will be.
Through its subsidiaries, Reynolds markets Camel, Pall Mall and Natural American Spirit cigarettes, as well as Grizzly and Kodiak smokeless tobacco brands. Its retail share of the cigarette market hovers around 27%. Reynolds, based in Winston-Salem, also expanded its Vuse brand electronic cigarette nationally last month.
Lorillard, the oldest continuously operating U.S. tobacco company, was spun off from Loews Corp. in 2008. The company, based in the neighboring city of Greensboro, has about a 15% retail market share, bolstered by its flagship Newport cigarette brand, which holds a 37.5% share of the menthol cigarette market. As the first of the major tobacco companies to jump into the fast-growing electronic cigarette business, Lorillard acquired the Blu e-cigarette brand in 2012, and Blu now accounts for almost half of all e-cigarettes sold.
The combined company would challenge Richmond, Va.-based Altria, which holds more than 50% of the retail cigarette market, led by its top-selling Marlboro brand. It also sells Black & Mild cigars, Copenhagen and Skoal smokeless tobacco and is expanding MarkTen e-cigarette brand nationally.
In a note to investors late Thursday, Wells Fargo Securities analyst Bonnie Herzog wrote that the merger would be "very positive for the global tobacco industry and could be just the beginning of future transactions."
Any deal would include involvement from British American Tobacco PLC, which makes Kent and Dunhill cigarettes overseas. British American Tobacco owns a 42% stake in Reynolds and a 10-year moratorium on the company increasing that stake expires at the end of July. Reynolds said Friday that British American Tobacco is involved in the merger discussions and expects to support the deal and maintain its existing stake in the company.
Also on Friday, Imperial Tobacco Group PLC said it was in talks to buy some of Reynolds and Lorillard brands should a merger occur.
The U.S. "remains one of the world's largest and most profitable cigarette markets," noted Imperial, which owns Bowling Green, Kentucky-based Commonwealth Brands Inc., maker of USA Gold cigarettes.
Herzog also noted that Imperial's involvement in the potential deal could help to stem any potential Federal Trade Commission anti-trust concerns by buying up several of the companies' smaller brands.

Of the many schemes to make the government more efficient, this is probably the only one that involves typography. A teenager in Pittsburgh has calculated that by simply switching the typeface used in government documents from Times New Roman to Garamond, it would save taxpayers $400 million (£240 million) in ink.
Suvir Mirchandani was inspired by an earlier project looking at how to save ink in teacher handouts. He recorded the ink usage of four different fonts—Garamond, Times New Roman, Century Gothic and Comic Sans—and found that Garamond's thin strokes would save his school district 24 per cent in ink
Then he decided to apply his results to a bigger scale: the US government. He sampled documents from different government agencies and dug through printing budgets. As CNN reports, this is what he found.
Using the US Government Services Administration's estimated annual cost of ink — $467 million (£280 million)—Suvir concluded that if the federal government used Garamond exclusively it could save nearly 30%—or $136 million (£82 million) per year. An additional $234 million (£140 million) could be saved annually if state governments also jumped on board, he reported.
These numbers are only estimates, of course, but they show how subtle changes made many times over add up to big differences. (Also, ink is mad expensive. By ounce, it costs more than Chanel No. 5 perfume, as Mirchandani points out.) And their government is still a prodigal producer of printed goods. Every day, for example, they print 2,000 copies of the Federal Register, which regularly runs to hundreds of pages.
The government has to be at least somewhat transparent about its printing practices, but the rest of us—those of us who still print things out, anyway—could take a cue, too. In 2010, the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay changed the default typeface of its email system from Arial to Century Gothic to save ink. And of course, there are special ink-saving typeface with tiny holes in the letters.
Prefer to choose your typeface based on aesthetics alone? By all means, go ahead—just don't print anything out. [CNN]

the awakening
here is the key: every one in your life is a bit player on your stage. every player is perfectly scripted to help you understand yourself. everyone acts and reacts to you according to how you are treating yourself at any given time. the goal of each and every encounter is to awaken you to yourself. in that awakening, that awareness, adjustments can be made to keep yourself on track. on track for what? respecting and honoring and loving yourself.
your world will right itself, your dreams will manifest and the course of your days will run smooth, when and only when, you treat yourself with unflinching dignity. constantly. to find out where you're glitching and being ridiculously hard on yourself over and over again, look to the reactions of those around you. listen to what and how they're communicating with you. they are speaking for you the words you tell yourself repeatedly, those unconscious ones that keep you living a small life.
do not lay blame on another. do not be insulted. do not take any of it personally. yes, it's hard. of course, it's hard. but be honest with yourself. what he said is what you say to yourself in one form or another. and you've believed yourself for so long, you're living that lie. he only said it out loud to get you to wake up to your own brainwashing. thank his bit player actions and get on with the business of making amends to yourself for treating yourself like shit. take charge of what you think in your own brain. dare to think you are fantastic. do not give a rat's ass if you can't be perfect. decide to enjoy your quirks.
give yourself a break. and then another one. and another one. lather, rinse, repeat.
eventually, you will awaken to the fact that people have begun to treat you with more dignity. that you are laughing more and people are joining in. you will feel what it is to live hour to hour and day to day in a world of love. a world you have created for yourself, through your awareness and the gifts of bit players. it is worth the work and the vigilant awareness to reprogram the script in your brain. you deserve nothing less than the best this world has to offer. to receive it, awaken and give your best to yourself.

LOVE my warming drawer!!
By LindaCRNFA
from Sevierville, TN
Comments about GE Profile 30" Stainless Steel Warming Drawer:
I selected this model to go into our new home we were building. It is wonderful! I have had a warming drawer in the past, but I really like the ease of using this one and the depth of the drawer. I can place larger casserole dishes in it and it will hold a whole meal of several dishes! Using it has really been nice.

we just purchased this and used it the same day we had it installed. I am disabled and don't eat always when the food is ready, due to my medication, therefore we put my food in the warmer which makes my food as though it was just cooked. love love love great item. also we plan on using it has a towel warmer or small blanket on those cold nights when a warm towel or blanket might come in handy.
