Porn Weekends is a WTF Pass site focusing entirely on the sexual adventures of a group of Russian (and otherwise Eastern European) twenty-somethings as they travel around the world soiling every mattress, sand dune, bar stool, and train carriage in sight. High Definition videos and high-res photos give stunning views of these holidaying hotties and their beaus, but Porn Weekends hasn't been too active of late, casting some doubt over this site and the thoroughly enjoyable international romps it hosts.
Take a trip down memory lane - or, if you're too young to have experienced the 60s, 70s, or very early 80s, someone else's memory lane - with a site that has dug deep into the most sordid archives on earth, scrounging up a bunch of all-male fuck-flicks that once had hundreds, if not thousands of gay men cumming in the aisles of porno theaters around the world. Vintage Gay Loops offers exactly what you'd expect: vintage gay loops; and it does so in fascinating fashion. Care to take a seat?
Women are curious creatures. Sliding more readily along the Kinsey scale, allowing for sexual attraction and interaction with both men and women, it is said that most women are bisexual, just to varying degrees. As far as the women of Females on Shemales are concerned, well, quite frankly, I'm throwing out the book on sexual classifications, guys. Pornstar women sucking and fucking former male, now female transsexuals who haven't yet completely joined the fairer sex (i.e.: they're pre- not post-op) - that's something you surely don't see everyday, not even on the World Wide Web of sexual debauchery. Stand up straight and pay attention, 'cause Females on Shemales has got something to say!
Instead of saving up for a vacation of your own, a vacation on which you'll argue with your female companion, stay out late drinking by yourself, leaving you to wander back to the hotel room at 2am, apologize for staying out so late and being such an ignorant, insensitive, egocentric manchild, why not let the Internet take care of your desire for sexual adventure with Porn Traveling. A site that follows hot young European couples as they travel the world in search of the ultimate exhibitionist thrill, Porn Traveling takes us to the Pyramids, Times Square, and the alleyways of Istanbul, and shows us fierce, passionate sex in almost every location, public or private. A dream for exhibitionist and voyeur alike, Porn Traveling gives you access to the whole world from the comfort of your sofa or desk chair.
Sick of thick, veiny penises clogging up your porn and obscuring otherwise perfect views of the hottest pornstars in the business? Head on over and give Abigail a visit; XXX Abigail, that is. Playing host to an exclusive collection of hardcore lesbian scenes so hot and so moist they'll melt even the most fierce dedication to penile-penetration porn. With the likes of Adrianna Nicole, London Keyes, and Madison Ivy lining the model directory, there's no reason to suspect your $24.95 per month will go to waste. After all, if bodies like these, entwined in scenes of sapphic eroticism, don't appeal to you, you can take your yoghurt-spewing monster cocks and homoerotic double-penetration movies, my brother! Me, I'll have XXX Abigail and its roster of impeccably formed pornstar rug-munchers.
It doesn't take a genius to create fairly compelling porno: you grab a hot girl, a guy with the necessary apparatus in working order, find somewhere for them to fuck and then just try not to lose focus. At Public Sex Adventures, though, the producers have gone above and beyond the call of pornographic duty and taken to the streets of Europe's most exciting cities to find women who not only stand out in a crowd, but would be willing to have their holes plugged… in a crowd. A wannabe exhibitionists dream come true, Public Sex Adventures is arousing, inspiring, and just plain fun.
If you've got a thing for shemales but often find their generally unimpressive lower appendages a bit disappointing, head on over to Joey Silvera's Evil Angel site, I Love Black Shemales. Filled wall-to-wall with, well, black shemales sucking, fucking, and stroking themselves off to orgasmic nirvana, I Love Black Shemales is a true original, a decidedly hardcore take on two of porn's most undervalued niches: African American women and chicks-with-dicks.
Quite clearly one of porn's most naturally beautiful women, Dylan Ryder and her artificial (but no less impressive) breasts made a huge splash when they launched into a career in adult entertainment back in 2005. Now with a website all her own, Dylan's profile is sure to only increase as fans flock to stare at this tall, dark-haired, Amazonian sex goddess as she strips, licks, sucks, and fucks (and swallows) her way up the pornstar ladder. Now with some stunning HD videos and with new updates coming every week, Mr Pink just can't resist giving Dylan Ryder and her self-titled official website his undivided attention.

5 an amazing documenatryPosted: 24/05/2011I went to the Cinema to see this with my wife and son, we were still talking about it two days later. The documentary is centred around the enigmatic and entertaining Guy Marting but also features other Isle of Man TT champs such as John McGuiness and Ian Hutchinson.There's are plenty of laughs, tear, scares and thrills in this film. the Isle of Man TT is a fearsome race and it a special breed of (mad) man to compete in it.All in all this is a fantastic documentary and I would heartily recommend it to anyone.
5 Fantastic read, great story!Posted: 10/09/2010Loved this little book, it had a really clever story, great characters but most of all I love the fantastic writing style, lovely prose.the story takes you from one fascinating environment to another through various plot twist to drop you back in back in the real world with, well, a real sense of satisfaction.would highly recommend.
5 Fantastic read, a real gem!Posted: 12/10/2009It's not often that a book can make you laugh out loud or cry, this book can do both. I was genuinely surprised at how good this book was,. i've read a few books of this genre as a bit of light entertainment but you never expect to be bowled over. but i have to say that this books has turned out to be a cut above it's class.The story is well thought out the characters are all well rounded, the writing style is witty and clever. I found it really hard to put down.I don't normally go in for reviews but this time I felt that i had too.Give it a go, I loved it.

For commisson and collaboration work just ask or contact me here, my facebook page, deviantart, wordpress blog, or my email firstname.lastname@example.com. I am a freelancer and I will be available if I will make it work. I love raster/pixel/traditional arts before but my current focus now is vector arts. Why vector arts? Because for me vector art is a mathematical digital art not based on pixel. It means the art is resizable without losing or gaining any details and features, flexible for more shapes manipulation, quick edit for changing and limiting the numbers of colors, effects and more. My goal path: Raster -> Vector -> 3D -> Effects -> Animation -> Mixed -> Tools Development. More crazy experimental Vector Arts soon.. :D Personal Websites: http://kyouzins.deviantart.com/ http://kyouzins.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/KyouFactory

John Joynes and Kelly Labeau never knew each other growing up.
That's not a surprise, given Joynes was from Levittown, Pa., and Labeau was born in Trenton and grew up in Gibraltar. But once they met up a few years ago as adults in the Tampa, Fla., area, they realized they were on opposite sides of the Penn State-Michigan rivalry.
So it only made sense that once the teams resumed their rivalry on Saturday at Beaver Stadium, that they would be there, planning on attending together. ...

"I would recommend this card to a friend. Is was great picture,paper and delivered very quickly.. I was very satisfied with item.. I will continue to order for my next event.."
"Ordered this for my daughter's Sweet 16. We were thrilled with the quality when it arrived. The card has a texture and is thick.

I was looking around to see if my article had been used outside Cheaper Than Dirt! Saw it here and decided to give some light on the creation of the article. I wrote it in 2008. I retired from Lockheed Martin Ft Worth in 2007 and saw a want-ad for a tech writer and firearms expert at CTD. Being local, I sent them a short blurb on my background. Got the job! First five months were doing data entry keyboard work. I told Tenney that I was pretty bored and thinking of going back to retirement. Things changed quickly after that conversation. I started writing articles, which is what they hired me to do. I did around 13 articles before I had enough of the same silly stuff that went on out at Lockheed Martin. It's the same in the work world all over, I suppose. I had to endure it a LM, but not at CTD! Guess I should have stayed on, but sometimes it just gets to me. I started out with the intention of telling how the NRA had been complicent in the creation of quite a few anti-gun legislations, plus the idea that the GCA 68 was based on Nazi gun control laws afrom the 30's. It morphed into more than that after I did research, and that's where LBJ came into play. It took me 2 weeks of study and writing to complete that article. As the poster said, it is long, but that was what was needed to tell the whole story. LBJ is the biggest crook in that time period. I take my nom de plume of LBJ because I have been accused of looking like him, not because I am an anti-gunner. ha. If I were any more right wing, I'd be KKK. Ha Hope you enjoy the article. I wrote another article for CTD I really like on Sgt Alvin York. It was a new series I came up with called Great American Riflemen. I finished one more story in that line under the title of Audie Murphy. both great Americans.That's about it for now. Just thought I'd chime in. Both articles are on the CTD website under ARTICLES. LBJ in Ft Worth, TX
To start-thank you for a GREAT article! I hope your not offended,but I literally post this in as many places as I can,and while this has been talked about on many different forums and is common knowledge in many 2nd Amendment savvy circles,your article is the best dissertation on the subject matter I have ever come across. It draws an irrefutable historical time-line and uses factual comparison to prove that the GCA68 is nothing more than transplanted foreign law,from a former enemy,being applied to our nation and used against our people by our own government. This article needs to be spread far and wide. Every American needs to know this. Being Jewish,I take particular interest in the fact that the GCA68 is pretty much a verbatim copy of the same kind of 'gun control' that was used by Adolph Hitler to deprive his victims of arms with which they might be able to have at least a fighting chance against the evil regime of National Socialist Germany,rather than being hustled to the gas chambers stripped of all human dignity and worldly possessions, accompanied "by the sounds of lovely classical music" as Fabian Socialist George Bernard Shaw stated. Without a framework of registration and gun control prior to the reign of the Nazis,perhaps there would have been more armed uprisings like the Warsaw Ghetto,and perhaps,had the Wiemar Republic not handed the tyrannical Third Reich the tools of gun confiscation,those uprisings that did occur would have been a bit more effective. Perhaps. Perhaps without a ready list of registered weapons and their owners,Hitler himself might have had a second thought about marching people off to camps,not knowing what resistance he might face he might have had to seriously consider the consequences of trying to commit mass murder against an armed populace. Perhaps,with the recent 'wins' for Second Amendment rights,Heller and McDonald,we can now shift focus to the repeal of this onerous law,but it starts by FIRST educating the public as to exactly where this law comes from-our former enemies in Europe. It starts by making people face the fact that American police and the American justice system,quite contrary to the letter and spirit of Constitutional law,are literally enforcing laws that Adolph Hitler himself found useful in depriving his enemies of their God given,inalienable right to self defense and the tools that best facilitate that goal. Your article goes a long way to doing just that. I hope you don't mind,but I'd like to continue to use it as much as possible for that purpose.Its time we made the anti-gun zealots face the fact that their ideology is also favored by tyrants,despots,and oligarchs the world over for enforcing the most brutal aspects of their regimes-making their enemies helpless by law and then murdering them en masse. Its time to make Americans of all walks of life understand that it may not be happening now,but the tools of registration and the current 'gun control' laws as copied practically word for word from the Wiemar laws were used to facilitate the disarming of millions of victims of the Holocaust,to make the jobs of their murderers less dangerous.If we allow this law to remain,it makes it all the more likely that it CAN happen here. Americans should NEVER have tolerated such an act to be passed. Its time to repeal GCA68 and give the BATF the boot.No more Nazi laws enforced by jack booted thugs on American soil!
Josh, I appreciate your comments! The article went WAY LONGER than I ever imagined. Things kept popping up that I felt needed to be added and it started taking on a life of its own. If I was going to do it, I decided to do it right. That's what they were paying me to do. I even told the boss that the article might step on a few toes in the process. As I mentioned, I started out with the idea of using the JPFO's premise (others have made the assertion also) that the Nazi Gun Control Laws were the basis of our gun laws. They only fleshed that idea out so far. But it needed MUCH more to develop the idea that more was involved than just the Nazis to get it across the Atlantic Ocean. Seems we had some American Nazis at work on the law - Dodd and LBJ to be exact. Sorry if there are those who don't like to hear that, but what other conclusion can you draw? I laid it out in about as much detail as you can get without writing an entire book about it. My intro statements were not the ones planned, the story just drove them. In fact, the few intro ideas I started with went into the round file in the end. I am not agenda driven, I just let the facts take me along. I did have an idea of what I wanted to discuss as all such articles have to have a starting point, but again, never knew it would be this involved. Funny thing is that I was a teenager in 1968 and a Sophomore in H.S. I must have been alseep, because I never knew LBJ was such a tyrant and gun grabber till I did the research. It came out to about 22 printed pages as I recall. For my real job, I spent 25 years writing flight manuals for USAF fighter aircraft built by GD/LM such as the F-111, F-16, YF-22, and F-22. Good work, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, the BS involved in the work-a-day world can drive you up the wall. I couldn't wait to get out at age 55 in retirement. Wow, what a relief.
I urge the Congress to make it unlawful to sell rifles and shotguns--as well as hand guns--to persons who are too young to bear the terrible responsibility that is placed in the hands of a gun owner. This kills me ! I guess Johnson forgot about the 18 and 19 year old boys he sent to go fight in Vietnam ? It's okay for a soldier that is 18 to have a rifle, but not an 18 year old civilian ! Double Standard if you ask me ! What a Hippocrite ! Worst president this country ever had !
Is there any place I could get a printer friendly version of this? I have some well meaning but less than computer savvy friends that really need to see this. RJ
My suggestion would be to copy each part of it to notepad,and print it from there. JPFO also has a book about it.You could make a nice holiday gift of it:"Gun Control": Gateway to Tyranny
Thanks Josh and LBJ. A very similar timeline has been circulated for about 20 years that I know of, by JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership). It can never be read too many times, or given to too many people. And I REALLY look forward to the Wilson stuff.
Just dropped in to give this a bump. Also to add something new.Whenever you get into an argument about the second amendment and exactly what it entails on a forum or whatever,feel free to cut and paste this- Quote: THE SECOND AMENDMENT(2A)- Does not say that it is a right reserved by only a government approved 'law abiding' class. Individual,inalienable rights are a condition of our humanity,just like possessing a soul or a consciousness.And just as the government does not have the divine power to deprive us of our souls or our immortal cognizance,it does not have the power to "take away" rights bestowed upon us by a higher authority than government- Our Creator. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and this without any qualification as to their condition or degree, as is the case in the British government." -St. George Tucker,Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1803) 2A Does not say that it is subject to "reasonable regulation". "The people... shall have the right to keep and bear arms; and they need no permission or regulation of law for the purpose."-Thomas Cooley,Treatise on Constitutional Limitations,1868 2A Does not deny ownership of any type of personal arms to any 'class' or person. Rather,it CLEARLY stipulates that the government SHALL NOT INFRINGE on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. "It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it."-George Washington "The whole of that Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals...[I]t establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." -Albert Gallatin to Alexander Addison, Oct 7, 1789, MS. in N.Y. Hist. Soc.-A.G. Papers, 2. The Second Amendment does not assert that it is a government approved privilege to CARRY or to BEAR those arms.The junior-G-man CCW permission slip scheme does not enforce,enhance,or otherwise comply with the Second Amendment. IT IS NOT A GOOD THING. Rather,it enforces the status quo that going armed requires government approval. "Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed, unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust people with arms." -James Madison THE SECOND AMENDMENT- Is an individual right.It is written to defend the inalienable,human right of self defense from predators and the right to defend Liberty from an overbearing government. The Second Amendment was,in fact,crafted to include the right OF THE PEOPLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. "The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson "The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good" -George Washington "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -Thomas Jefferson THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS THE LAW.It is and has been a part of American tradition and justice since our founding as a nation.Since before then even. "The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed." -Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. It is part of the HIGHEST LAW OF THE LAND. "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."-Article VI, Clause 2,Supremacy Clause,US Constitution THE SECOND AMENDMENT CLEARLY STATES THAT IT SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.IT IS CLEARLY WRITTEN IN PLAIN LANGUAGE ALONG WITH THE HIGHEST LAW OF THIS LAND THAT GOVERNMENT MAY NOT VIOLATE THIS INDIVIDUAL RIGHT. THEREFOR,ANY AND ALL ACTS OF CONGRESS,OR GOVERNMENT AS A WHOLE,TO HAMPER,DENY,CLASSIFY,REGULATE -OR OTHERWISE INFRINGE- UPON THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS ILLEGAL. WITHOUT PROPERLY AMENDING THE SECOND AMENDMENT BY FOLLOWING THE LAWFUL PROCESS AND PROCEDURES AS DESCRIBED BY THE CONSTITUTION TO AMEND IT- ANY AND ALL 'GUN CONTROL' IS ILLEGAL. "......that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force....."-Thomas Jefferson,Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." -Thomas Jefferson "Anyone in a free society where the laws are unjust has an obligation to break the law." -Henry David Thoreau

Hi. I know this may sound silly,but tomorrow afternoon my dd is having her first friend come over to our house. It is special for many different reasons. We just moved into our first house in October 2010, right before my son was born, and she has never had a friend come over for a playdate... and the most important is that the friend is a boy whom she has been super close with since she was 2 1/2yr old at daycare. (that is where they met) and she hasn't seen him since last July when I left work to be a sahm getting ready for my ds to be born.
When Meghan went to his birthday party, dh and I were introduced to their family as the "future in-laws" and everyone at daycare got a kick out of the two of them together all the time.
His mom is going to be coming and I just want to make sure I have the "normal" things you have when you host a playdate.
I told you it is silly, but it is very important to Meghan, she has been begging for him to come over since she found out we were buying a house. She would cry because she wanted to go back to daycare so she could see him. and I don't want to make a bad impression on his mom being her first time here also.
thanks in advance!

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Topics: Movies, Iran, A Separation, Editor's Picks, Entertainment News
The 405, Los Angeles' leading freeway, is under construction. Lanes suddenly close and then merge haphazardly into the one nuzzled next to it. Center dividers inch closer and closer into carpool lanes. And drivers – which in a city of waitresses, actresses and waitresses longing to be actresses, might be the most infamous population of all — drive erratically as a result. The drivers are erratic because the road has become erratic; the road has become erratic because the city is erratic.
But for Payman Maadi, the star of "A Separation," it feels a little like home. Los Angeles, he says, is in many ways just like Tehran. He's here for the Academy Awards, which are quintessentially Los Angeles. But Tehran, of course, is nothing like the Academy Awards; the transitive property does not apply here.
So when I see Maadi dead asleep in the passenger seat just before the Oscars, I see the exhausting wear of Los Angeles — the city takes an unsuspected toll on an Iranian who runs a luxury watch shop in the country's capital, and now finds himself in the throes of the movie industry's biggest night.
Before falling into slumber, he recounted the night before, throwing out such names as Meryl Streep, who cornered Maadi and the film's writer/director Asghar Farhadi to rave about "A Separation," the foreign-language powerhouse film that was everyone's Oscar pool gimme.
"She could recite every line," he says of Streep. "She was crying during the [Independent Spirit Awards] montage, I swear." Since arriving in Hollywood, Maadi has been cornered by almost every bold-faced name in the business, people who have come to view his film as a unique window into the realities of Iranian life; a reality that, usually funneled through the 24-hour news cycle, rarely comes to light. This week, like every other, the GOP primary race is filled with talk of war; headlines wonder whether Israel will attack Iran's nuclear weapons program before the U.S. election.
But that's not the kind of talk Maadi hears.
"[Streep] pulled me aside, and just told me how moved she was by the vision of realistic Iranian life. 'It's just one house. One house and you just see who is in there and what they are like, who they are.' She was so moved. That's when you realize you've done something special."
Minutes later, my car mate, Katrin, one of Maadi's childhood friends, is standing with him outside the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel when a car drives by, honking in some abstract show of support. He waves in thanks, and Katrin follows his lead, out of Hollywood-influenced instinct.
"I bet they thought I was Leila Hatami," she says, referring to the female lead opposite Maadi in "A Separation," and one of Iran's leading actresses.
"No, they knew you weren't her."
"How do you know?"
"You weren't wearing a chador."
- – - – - -
For all its success, its hype, its all-but-guaranteed-Oscar chatter, "A Separation" is plagued with a curious bout of political silence. During the press circuit, neither the actors, nor the film's writer/director, ever made mention of the narrative housing any political subtext — aware as they may have been that any film that reaches American shores from Iran is sure to be embalmed in politics long after it has left theaters. If a country of present-day notoriety produces any work of art, it becomes a victim of context — that might finally answer why North Korea has yet to produce a steady influx of romantic comedies.
Of course, the debate regarding "A Separation's" politics has fallen into two distinct camps: that either the film is about something more intimate like family, and forgoes politics entirely; or the film is in fact rife with the country's complex political landscape, but Farhadi and Maadi are simply not allowed to admit it.
The former requires the subjectively trained eye of a cinephile; the latter is a just matter of common sense. The politics of the film itself becomes gradually irrelevant as one begins to realize the politics of everything that's come after it.
- – - – - -
"You walk into a restaurant, and you see Leonardo DiCaprio sitting beside you, and [Meryl Streep] sitting in front of you, and you give yourself 20 seconds of awe, and then it's done," says Maadi. "You don't really look at them anymore. What makes these moments so incredible is that you go in thinking you're there to see them, but they're really there to see you."
They've heard it all: Steven Spielberg said that he believed "A Separation" to be the best film of the year by a wide margin. David Fincher spent over half an hour discussing his various takes on the film's complex technical scope. Brad Pitt took Maadi aside during a press conference to describe his intense reaction to the film's opening scene, which caused his wife (maybe you've heard of her) to pause the film and return to it days later.
Angelina Jolie later cornered Farhadi at the awards, telling him that she longed to star in his next film. He thanked her, but politely made mention that, unfortunately, the female lead speaks only French.
Jolie told him she would learn the language by the first day of shooting.
But even after months on the circuit, it's still hard for Maadi to shake the shock of having Hollywood's most notable faces and filmmakers sing their praises. Woody Allen didn't let his infamous shtick of never attending the Academy Awards stop him from reaching out to Farhadi and Maadi, asking for even 30 minutes of their time once they arrived in New York. Allen would eventually go on to claim the Oscar for best original screenplay from Farhadi, who, to everyone's surprise, nabbed the fifth spot in the category — a rarity for non-English language films.
Allen's consistent absence from the awards season racket begins to make sense to Maadi, as exhaustion once again sets in. We're now on our way to a party hosted by Sony at the Andaz Hotel, and Farhadi has just texted saying he won't be attending, citing sickness and overexhaustion. Maadi, who had planned on staying for an hour at most, and was even toying with not going altogether, is now obligated to stand in as the film's representative; he's just become the only member of the production in attendance.
The dinner is set to begin at 7:30, and by 7:15, after a bout with a passive aggressively calm GPS voice, we've finally pulled over on Culver Boulevard to call Maadi's assistant to ask where exactly we're going. Tension in the car has gotten significantly higher — the sort of anxiety that comes from worrying about arriving late to an event that one doesn't even want to arrive at. Maadi's wife, Faranak, is on the phone. Payman asks repeatedly for her to make sure the address gets texted as a precaution, but she hangs up before answering. "Faranak, why don't you listen to anybody," he snaps. "I asked you repeatedly to get the address texted. Do a job right, we may forget the address now."
Suddenly we pass the Laemmle Royal theater on Santa Monica Boulevard and the tension in the car eases. The marquee features Payman and Leila's face.
Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Film.
Maadi's phone rings for roughly the fifth time in the last hour. He presses silent. The car keeps moving.
- – - – - -
By 11 p.m., we've arrived at some bar in some micro-sector of West Hollywood, with Maadi's entire Persian posse in toe. The plan — as seems to be the theme — was to arrive earlier, but due to Iranian social requirements (meaning that the minute a restaurant is mentioned, suddenly cousins one never knew existed chime in about the best ambience for a late-night bar), it's later than anticipated. The line outside the club and accompanying restaurant is longer than most of the skirts that the women waiting outside seem to be wearing, but Maadi leads us to the front, where, almost without a word, we are ushered in immediately. Once inside, I lose sight of him, but find him later surrounded by a gaggle of men and women, all of whom are giving him handshakes and high fives. Some, it is clear, he has seen before or known for longer; others seem to be treating him like an old acquaintance, even though he has yet to learn their names. Most call this the belly of the beast.
Aside from the already established A-list, no newcomer is probably reeling from face-recognition quite like Maadi. Considering that the Iranian population of L.A. ranges upward of 800,000, it has officially become the second largest such population in the world (second only to Iran itself). Because of this, "A Separation" finds itself as the reason all of L.A. is salivating: its two biggest industries — Hollywood and 'Tehrangeles' itself — both have equal stake in the film's success. This makes Maadi perhaps the most recognizable person in the city to have never appeared on an American magazine cover.
"There is a different expectation from [Sony Pictures] for just what a foreign film has to do, has to look like to the people," Maadi says. "The press can't catch you behaving typical Hollywood. You have to uphold a certain distinction."
This also has to do with the risk of losing it all. Should he be seen cavorting with a scantily clad woman, or with a drink in his hand, or with a face made red from too much liquor and a tie made loose by very much the same, the consequences would be dire.
Just three years ago, Jafar Panahi, one of the most influential filmmakers to come out of the Iranian new wave, was arrested while mourning at the grave of Neda Agha-Soltan, the woman whose death during the 2009 Iranian election protests drew international attention after a bystander filmed and released footage on the Internet of her laying bloodied on the streets. Over the course of the next two years, Panahi would be in and out of prison, culminating in a six-year jail sentence, and a 20-year ban on making any films, writing any screenplays, talking to Iranian media or leaving the country.
Events like this make the notion of a political film meaningless. Partly because any film to be made and released under such constraints inherently becomes a political act already, but also because Maadi and Farhadi could have made a real-time depiction of Ahmadinejad stealing the election and killing Neda himself, and come interviews would still have no choice but to claim that political readings are up for interpretation.
Maybe that's the real belly of the beast.
- – - – - -
We move the table full of food against the back wall to make room for the friends and family that keep pouring into Maadi and Faranak's L.A. apartment. He and Farhadi are currently taking their seats in the former Kodak Theatre. Plus ones don't arrive for the Oscars unless you're the kind of star Ryan Seacrest wants to ask about which designer made your dress. Faranak is unable to attend, leaving her to mingle with us commoners, holding our breaths to witness what was by then considered inevitable.
"This moment is so much bigger than him, he has no idea," a friend of his sitting next to me says.
"I think he realizes the sort of excitement Iran is feeling right now. I don't think he's been going through this unaware of what a win could mean."
"No, no, I mean what happens after this is so much bigger than him. I mean what happens to everyone else. What starts coming from Iran."
"Do you mean 'what starts coming out of Iran or coming out about Iran'?"
Before she can answer me, Sandra Bullock is onstage, and begins to read the nominees for best foreign film. Faranak's hands go to her head, simultaneously covering her ears and alleviating pressure from her head. The room falls silent, and with the sort of focus everyone in the room had on the television, somehow Bullock's every word came through more clear, more crisp, simply because the absence of movement acted as a speaker.
Moments later, Iran had won its first Academy Award. Farhadi was onstage, while Maadi and the rest of the film's cast sat in support. They had decided hours earlier that the best way to remedy what many saw as a weak speech at the Golden Globes would be to pre-write the speech and allow Farhadi to deliver it himself.
I proudly offer this award to the people of my country, a people who respect all cultures and civilizations and despise hostility and resentment.
The champagne is flowing; the tears more so. Phones explode, with many calls to Iran announcing the news. Faranak dabs her eyes with a mascara-covered tissue as tears keep streaming. Everyone is hugging her, and she finally catches her breath.
"Do you think they will get in trouble for the speech?"
- – - – - -
When the sun rises on the other side of the globe, and Iran hears the news, banners featuring Farhadi holding the golden statue are erected all over Tehran.
"People in Iran follow the Oscars a lot more than you think they do," Farhadi told reporters backstage. "I know for a fact that right now, as the event is happening, it's in the middle of the night, in the middle of the morning, and people are not sleeping. I know they are following."
By the end of the day, two things will have happened. Farhadi's speech will have been altered on the Web to include a mention of the nuclear stalemate between Iran and other world powers, reading:
"I proudly offer this award to the people of my country who, despite all the tensions and hostility of recent months between Iran and the West over Iran's nuclear program, respect all cultures and civilizations."
And Javad Shamaghdari, the head of Iran's Cinematic Agency, will release an official statement regarding the win, viewing it as monumental not because it is Iran's first Oscar, but because of its win over the Israeli drama, "Footnote."
"This is the beginning of the collapse of the influence of the Zionist lobby over American society … this is an unusual reaction to the Zionist lobby, but it marks the beginning of the collapse of Israeli influence."
When I ask Faranak where Maadi is the next morning, she tells me he's asleep, and that she's going to disconnect the phones so that he doesn't wake up.
"What happens next is so much bigger than him."

Between the Motos: Travis Baker
Racer X Interview
Haley Whisennand / Racer X Online
Hanging on the edge of the top ten for the entire season is a challenge of its own. Eager to bounce back after a difficult 2011 season riddled with inconsistency and injury, Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda's Travis Baker had a decent showing in the West Coast Supercross series, finishing tenth overall. With only the Nationals left before his contract is up, he looked to stay healthy and consistent in 2012. With only four rounds left to the season, Baker is looking to continue improving each week. We caught up with him for this week's Between the Motos.
Racer X: First off, start by telling us how Washougal went for you.
Travis Baker: Washougal was a struggle for me. I qualified tenth, which was pretty good. Top ten, I try to do that every round. Then I went into the motos feeling good, but I crashed on the first lap of both motos. So I came from the back in both motos and ran 14-15 for thirteenth overall. I showed a little bit of speed, but it was a struggle.
Was the reason you crashed on the first lap of both motos the same?
The first lap of the first moto, I washed out my front end. The dirt's tricky there. I just kind of felt like I could run it in. I couldn't, went down. Then second one, just got a bad start and got caught up in all the chaos and some guy just cleaned out my front wheel.
A lot of riders said the track was really one-lined this year. Did you think the same thing?
Yeah, the track was really one-lined. I mean, there were some spots with a couple lines where there's that one really fast line and then one alright line. It was hard to pass guys. The top five guys went fast and then the group from like eighth to fourteenth, where I was, we all stayed in the same line, kind of.
Obviously you're doing a lot better so far this season than you were last year. What was your goal coming into this year?
The goal was to be a top ten guy. I just wanted to do better than that and to keep improving. Last year I struggled with being consistent and getting hurt. So that was my goal this year, stay consistently around tenth and just keep improving and getting better.
Is there anything in particular that you've been struggling with all season?
A little bit. I mean, really just going faster! Those top guys are good. I don't know. I just need to get more speed and build more confidence.
You had your best race at RedBud. Was there something about that day that really suited you?
It was hot. I don't know, I just felt good on the track. Actually, Budds Creek, there and Millville, I felt pretty good. Like I said, I'm taking this year to get better and better.
When I'm at the races, I notice that you and your teammates all seem pretty close. What is it like to have a team that's so close compared to some of the other teams that don't really spend as much time with each other?
Our team is really close. The team manager, mechanics, Troy [Lee] and the riders, we're always joking around. It's a good atmosphere to be around. You've got to keep the fun in the sport you love.
Now you've got a few weeks off before you go into the last leg of the series. What are you going to be doing over the break?
Riding, trying to get faster so I'm not getting smoked and uh [laughs] no, I'm kidding. Just riding and getting better. Then I'll do a little jet skiing. Yeah, just trying to get better.
What are your goals for the end of the season?
I want to be, like I said, in the top ten and just try and get better. I've shown that I can, I just need to do it every round. I've just got to.
When does your contract run till?
This is my last year. I'm trying to figure it all out right now to see what's going on next year. We're talking, but nothing's signed yet.

Berwick RFC
Full name | Berwick Rugby Football Club | ||
Union | Scottish Rugby Union | ||
Founded | 1926 | ||
Location | Berwick-upon-Tweed, England | ||

Berwick Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team originally founded in 1926, but were reformed in 1968. The team is based in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, just over the border in England. They are affiliated to both the English Rugby Football Union and the Scottish Rugby Union. They currently play in the Scottish Rugby Union East Regional League Division 1.
Berwick play their home games at Scremerston.
Berwick's Sevens Tournament takes place annually in April and the competition is part of the Kings of the Sevens tournament.
Current holders of the trophy are the Jed-Forest RFC
Berwick Rugby club was first formed in the SRU in 1926 and played in the South District Union. Its playing standard improved until the early 1930s and although it survived annual difficulties of finding players and pitches it could not survive the outbreak of the Second World War which robbed it of both. When the club was reborn in 1968 it had three main aims - to strive for as high a standard of rugby as possible for the club and its individual members, to create a good physical environment for rugby, and to be part of the sporting and social fabric of Berwick. Pursuit of the first aim has taken the Club to the BT Scottish Premiership (Division 2). In 2004 it won the National Shield and in 2006 reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. To date, the highest individual honours are headed by the seventeen full Scottish caps won by Craig Smith and the thirty three by Gavin Kerr. Both were in the 2006 Six Nations Squad. Gavin was a member of the 2003 World Cup Squad and the Six Nations Squads of 2004 and 2005. Mark Lee captained the Scottish VII in 2002 Commonwealth Games and played with the British Army in 2005. Andrew Skeen played for the Scotland VII in the 2006 IRB Tournament. Current Berwick players have won many age-group, School and Student international and regional honours and the Club boasts a full international referee in Iain Ramage. In 2001 the Club was invited to join the Border League, becoming only the second English Club in rugby's oldest league. The Club has sides in the Border League, the new cross-Border League, the Border Semi-Junior League and age-group competitions from minis to Colts on both sides of the Border. The Club has an increasingly skilled Ladies section which won promotion in 1999 and 2000 and was runner-up in the National Bowl in 2004.
London Scottish F.C. is another example of a rugby club in both the English and Scottish rugby unions.
Notable players[edit]
Notable players for Berwick RFC include
- Craig Smith capped for Scotland
- Gavin Kerr capped for Scotland
- James King currently playing for Edinburgh Rugby
- Andrew Skeen capped and captained for Scotland Sevens team
- Mark Lee capped and captained for the Army at XV and 7's and Scotland Sevens team

"Great quality & gorgeous card that exceeded expectations! Received a million compliments on them and everyone loved how different the tri-fold style was compared to traditional flat or single fold cards. Changed the default font to better suit my style. The reviewer made sure the final details were perfect. Plenty of space for graduation details/info without having to decrease font size. The color happened to match my school's colors so these were perfect, however it would be great to have the option of changing the border/background colors if red isn't your school/favorite color."
"I chose this card design because of the amount of photos I was able to use on the front. It came out great! My only tweak would be to have the card fold from the top instead of from the side, since it is so long. Other than that, I loved it! Photo quality and card quality was awesome."
"Hard to find a card that works for twin graduates. This one was perfect. Took their professional senior photos and popped them in the front, the diagonal really served to separate and make them both important. Loved the picture availability on the back which allowed me to put in photo of the two together as babies and in their college sweatshirts. Had to be brief in my language on the front, but that made for a better card. Received many compliments as to the quality!"
"We used these for a Graduation Open House Invitation. Loved everything about them. It was nice to have an invitation that showed off a senior picture so nicely. The banner was in the perfect spot!"
"Card Stock was impressive, the 2 pictures I added were clear and crisp. The reviewer made sure my details and add-ons I wanted were implemented. Shipping was faster than expected. The Guests loved the invites. Overall a very pleasant experience!"
