hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we'd discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i've been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it's obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don't subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don't even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
This made me really sad and really angry.

Re: Being the booker
Excellent opening promo and it looks like you're going to be using the Rated R Superstar character on Edge. Orton coming out and asking for an explanation from last week was also good. However to get Edge over really as a heel in this segment, I would've had Edge spear Orton. But hey, it's your show.
Bloody First Blood Tag Elimination Match. Brotherhood wins this one, and their push continues. All heels are given a bye right into the Rumble Match. Rhyno better be ready as he's going to need to be ready for the 3 on 1 match, later on tonight.
As JR said, Trish ends the year off in a high note, with her belt still in her posession. As for DX taking the night off, good move.
Great match with the "future Rumble winner" and Mysterio. Great spots and great ending. I can see though Christian and Tomoko are going to split though in the next couple of weeks.
Great promo with Kennedy, Carlito, Marc, and Batista. Kennedy is great on the mike imo. Rhyno gave a hard fought fight, even though we all knew that he wasn't going to win it.
Good promo from Cena and Orton, and Taker once again with the mind games on Cena.
Cena and Orton win as Edge leaves his partner(RVD) and looks strong as they head into 2006.
All in all, a great show, and I'm looking forward to your final Smackdown of 2005. 1!

Séance 1 - Pluralisme normatif et articulation des normes
Éric Brousseau,
Pierre Mounier
Première publication : 17 mai 2004 -
Dernière mise à jour : 28 juillet 2005
Hunter, Dan, "Cyberspace as Place, and The Tragedy Of The Digital Anticommons", WP Wharton School, 2002. Plus de détails
Abstract :
Cyberspace was once thought to be the modern equivalent of the Western Frontier,
a place, where land was free for the taking, where explorers could roam, and
communities could form with their own rules. It was an endless expanse of space :
open, free, replete with possibility. This it true no longer. This Article argues that
we are enclosing cyberspace, and imposing private property conceptions upon it.
As a result, we are creating a digital anti-commons where sub-optimal uses of
Internet resources is going to be the norm.
Part I shows why initial discussions of cyberspace as place have mistaken the idea
of how we think about cyberspace, with the normative question of how we should
regulate cyberspace. It suggests that we can bracket the normative question, and
still answer the descriptive question of whether we think of cyberspace as a place.
Part II then examines the lessons of recent cognitive science, and demonstrates the
importance of physical metaphors within our cognitive system. It then examines the
evidence of our use a physical metaphor, "cyberspace as place", in understanding
online communication environments.
Part III focuses on the unacknowledged, and unrecognized, influence that this
metaphor has had on the development of the legal framework for the Internet. It
examines tortious, criminal, and constitutional law responses to cyberspace, and
concludes that the metaphor of "cyberspace as place" exercises a strong, and
unrecognized, influence on the regulatory regimes of cyberspace.
Part IV details the implications of this observation and show why they are
extremely troubling. The conception of "cyberspace as place" leads to the
implication that there is property online, and that this property should be privately
owned, parceled out, and exploited. Though private ownership of resources of
itself is not problematic, it can lead to the opposite of the tragedy of the commons :
the tragedy of the anti-commons. Anti-commons property occurs when multiple
parties have an effective right to preclude others from using a given resource, and
as a result no-one has an effective right of use. Part IV argues that this is precisely where the "cyberspace as place" metaphor leads. We are moving to a digital anticommons, where no-one will be allowed to access competitors' cyberspace "assets" without licensing or other transactionally-expensive (or impossible) permission mechanism.
The Article shows how the "cyberspace as place" metaphor leads to undesirable
private control of the previously commons-like Internet, and the emergence of the
digital anti-commons. As we all come to stake out our little claim in cyberspace,
then the commons which is cyberspace is being destroyed.

That seems a likely example of the spoils system at work. You put food on people's table without excessive proselytizing, and I won't care what religion you are or which politicians you support. If, on the other hand, you are some amorphous political think tank that puts out a couple of publications a year? Fuck that. No grants for you.

Intra-Aid Targeted Intra-Workout Performance Matrix!
Proper workout nutrition (intra-workout) is an area that is being supported by a legit, growing body of science. Intra-workout nutrition represents the next big nutritional frontier for bodybuilders and weightlifters. Even so, many lifters often ignore this period. Why is targeted intra-workout supplementation so important? Here's a short list: proper rehydration, muscle and liver glycogen resynthesis, improved immune function, decreased muscle catabolism, increased muscle protein synthesis, increased muscle anabolism, faster recovery and training at a higher intensity. It's amazing how so many benefits can get overlooked. Intra-Aid brings intra-workout nutrition into the 21st century. It's a combination of key complexes that work in synergy to maximize the aforementioned benefits of workout supplementation. Intra-Aid consists of 5 potent components: fast-acting hydrolyzed protein, a highly specialized carbohydrate blend, critical electrolytes, an essential amino acid blend, and key ergogenic agents. Intra-Aid combines all of the scientific benefits of proper intra-workout supplementation, leaving out the guesswork. The gym water fountain and popular high fructose "sports" drinks may be good for the regular athlete, but for the serious weight lifter, they just can't compare. Think of Intra-Aid as first-aid for your workout.

Breathe slowly…
Breathe deeply…
Allow your body to relax…
Allow the thought of your task to come into your mind…
Are there any uncomfortable feelings associated with the thought of this task?
What is the source of this resistance?
Are the reasons for the resistance enough not to perform this task?
Do not perform the task.
Acknowledge the existence of the resistance…
Understand and accept the thought process…
Let go and move on…
Repeat until no new thoughts of resistance rise to the surface…
What are the positive aspects of performing this task?
Visualise these aspects in great detail…
Allow these positive feelings to permeate your being…
Permeate every aspect of the path to the completion of this task…
Start the task!
This is perfect. I read something similar in Deepak Chopra's newest book, "Spiritual Solutions" but the way you explain the steps is so much simpler and easy to follow. I want to print this out so that I can keep reminding myself of the steps to sustain flow throughout the entire day no matter how many tasks need to be performed. Thanks so much for sharing! Namaste.
I am so glad that you found the exercise so beneficial Kristie! Thanks for sharing!
Thank for the simplicity of these instructions. The tuning in to the task, then the enquiry allows resistance to fall away. Then – ACTION!
To-the-point and beautiful! A simple but nonetheless important reminder for me to tune into the flow. Thank you for the inspiration, Simon.
With all the graetfull. But I have unclear sourse of failed and eyeache everytime in I want to start my art work. I tried to control it and now. I saied to my self let try the pranic healing this time.
Thank you.
Excellent! A simply beautiful explaination. Thank You.
Simply stunning!
First the serene photo and even the layout of the text. This is such a beautiful way to work. Thank you Simon!
So, if I've understood, it's about a conscious freedom of choice just letting the flow go through you, isn't it?
That is certainly the aim… Often we get caught up in focus on the resistance and loose sight of the thing we are trying to accomplish. By acknowledging that there is indeed resistance, and then consciously shifting focus back onto our task we can maintain momentum and work through our own unique roadblocks…
Very nice! I'll be utilizing this….
This is an excellent exercise for writer's block where the inner critic can place so many obstacles in my way and prevent me from writing.
I will also endeavour to use it when clearing out clutter; – extraordinary how interesting I begin to find old newspapers and magazines as an excuse to keep hoarding.
As usual Simon, your sharing is extremely helpful.
Thank you Mary Elizabeth! I also use this technique to break through writers block, I'm glad you found it effective too
Helps put my day in perspective….Thanks
Greetings Simon,
Beautiful post – this might be very specific to me, but in almost all cases, my resistance stems from fear and laziness, hence i wonder if perhaps delving into the details of "acknowledge the existence of the resistance" would help me? or would you suggest focusing on the positive aspects of the task?
This is a very helpful meditation for plunging into your inner self and uncover the pains of the past that stay present inside but hide under the pile of trivia, yet affecting our daily performance and self-esteem.
We should definitely glimpse inside ourselves more often in order to acknowledge and work over the pains of past experiences.
Much love and light!

King Edward Hotel - Afternoon Tea + photos
- BokChoi Aug 3, 2008 05:34 AM
After a very pleasant High Tea experience in Hong Kong (at the Peninsula Hotel), I finally got around to trying a local Afternoon Tea purveyor. I settled on King Edward Hotel on King Street, as the location brings many fond memories of past significant events.
My SO and I decided to sample the gamut of offerings by sharing the King's Tea (finger sandwiches: egg salad with pommery mustard and arugula, duo of smoked salmon and lemon shrimp, turkey waldorf with sun dried fruits, cucumber cream cheese and coriander cress; selection of delicate pastries: lemon blueberry meringue tartlet, passion fruit mascarpone cheese cake, queen of hearts raspberry sandwich cookie, lavender honey scented madeleine, chocolate pistachio ribbon square; current scones with devonshire cream and strawberry preserves; choice of premium tea from our humidor: we selected the King Edward Blend - floral jasmin and Ceylon blended with the malty character of Yunnan, finished with a sprinkling of rose petals), and the Ploughman's High Tea (pate en croute, savoury sandwich selection, aged tuxford cheddar with raisin walnut crisp bread, Scotch egg with Branston pickle, warm tourtiere, choice of tea: Golden Assam is the one we chose - second flush, large-leaf golden-tipped Assam produces a full-bodied cup with a copper liquor noted for its lively character and distinctly malty flavour - this was their marketing description, not my own).
The atmosphere of the dining hall was excellent, as the ceilings were high and the space well lit by natural light streaming through the sun-roof (sittings are in the hotel lobby). The sandwiches were nice and light - though I would have preferred less usage of mayonnaise throughout. The desserts were their strong point (the lemon tartlet was sweet, yet pucker-inducing), and the scones with cream divine (though I would have preferred an artisan's local jam, or preserve as opposed to the mass-produced Swiss offering of Hero).
However, the Ploughman's version left something to be desired. The tourtiere was a bit tough and chewy and the cheese presented was a very plain, non-aged cheddar. I would have preferred something a bit sharper. The Scotch egg had a crust that was soggy, dense and flavourless (perhaps it just wasn't to my liking).

Ploughman's: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28531775...
Seating Area: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28531775...
The teas, unfortunately, were a bit of a letdown. I sampled a rose-scented tea in Hong Kong and was blown away by its subtle floral aroma. I could drink that tea all day long without being bored. However, I found that the K.E blends were very robust (for my tastes) and left me quite parched, probably from the high caffeine content. Perhaps my tastes were nurtured alongside more Asian tea blends, such as floral jasmine and chrysanthemum, or Ceylons, Genmaicha and Sencha - so I am most likely biased since I was not raised on more traditional British blends.
Overall, their classic tea remains their strong suit, though the variety was a pleasant addition with the introduction of the Ploughman's option. For taste alone, I would not order the Ploughman's again, but for the sake of diversity, I would order it again - who knows, maybe it was just an off-day?
What are people's thoughts on the best Afternoon Tea venues of the city? The next on my list to try is Windsor Arms, followed by the Park Hyatt. Any other suggestions? The emphasis for me would be the decor/atmosphere as I like to lounge for a few hours while sipping on my tea. Thank you in advance.
Cheers and Happy Eating!
Good post, thanks BokChoi. I really enjoy The Windsor Arms high tea, and have been a few times. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it as compared to the King Edward's. Judging from the pictures alone, I would have to say WA's serves a more elegant selection. Besides that, their scones are wicked good!!!
re: millygirl
Thanks millygirl, I'll post my photos once I get around to trying it - though I think I'll be all Tea-d out for a while (LOL)! I'm still searching for that great-tea-experience that will live up to Peninsula (live string music, white-gloved service, usage of actual silverware - I was actually shocked to see that K.E. used very basic ceramics/porcelains and not actual silverware. Not in the least impressed). One unexpected highlight of the Peninsula's version was the inclusion of a delicious 'frozen tiramisu'. Excellent contrast to the other offerings in terms of temperature and texture.
re: mogo
agreed - I would have to say that there was a time when I would have definitely found high tea to be a let-down. I think I've developed a hankering for it now though! I basically just go as an excuse to sit somewhere with a nice atmosphere and chat for 3 hours without feeling rushed. Though good food is also on my list of criteria!
re: BokChoi
I haven't had high tea in ages, last time was at The Four Seasons in Yorkville, can't comment because it was so long ago. The best high tea we've had was in Maui at The Sheraton. It was so good that we remember it to this day.
The Ploughman's version didn't look all that great, sorry you did not enjoy it either. I would love to try High Tea again in Toronto, however my husband has a GI-normous appetite and it would not suit him at all ...LOL. He would go and enjoy it just for me, but it would not fill him up!
As always, beautiful pics. Bokchoi? Do you get the same stares as I do when I take my camera out and start snapping away? I did this when we visited Chicago and had deep dish for the first time. I actually talked back to the customers at their remarks!
re: red dragon
Yes, I would agree that Maui would probably have a nice atmosphere (white sands, cool ocean breeze...LOL), but alas, I am stuck here in the great, cold north! I actually don't get too many stares when I whip out the camera (as well, it's more common now than when I upgraded my camera a few years back). Thank goodness - I actually get a few kitchen tours as a result - my most recent one being at WD~50 in NYC. I got to meet Chef Wiley, which was a great highlight of the trip. Could also be a combo of my inquisitive mind with respect to ingredients and preparation method alongside the copious amounts of picture-taking though...I have photos posted from that tour as well. Thanks for the compliments re: photos. I'm glad they're appreciated. I'll keep it up!
Too bad about those sitting around that didn't appreciate your photo taking - do you tend to use flash? I try not to, so maybe I'm a bit under the radar...But at a pizza joint...it's not like you're destroying the atmosphere or anything... strange
I have been to the Four Seasons afternoon tea twice this year. The first time was with 15 girls for a bachelorette party, the second time was with my family for Father's Day. I love it there. The teas are hit and miss, but the food is amazing and the service is awesome. I really like the fact that they are okay with people being vegetarian (the veggie sandwiches are just as good if not better than the meat/seafood ones). They even served sparkling fruit water one time I was there (on the house)! I highly recommend it. Go hungry.
re: canadianbeaver
Canadianbeaver - how much was the Four Seasons afternoon tea? From their website, the tea was held in the lobby bar then?
re: jennjen18
It was $30/person. They held it in the front bar, not the main restaurant. They close the whole thing off for afternoon tea. It's really pretty.
I have heard the Sutton Place Hotel does a wonderful tea, the Old Mill does one with great scenery and if you do not mind driving I love going for tea at the Doctor' house (on Saturday's you can watch the bride and grooms getting ready for the chapel ceremonies throughout the gardens) in schomburg after an outting to the McMicheals gallery.
re: smr714
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll put it on my list to sample.
re: BokChoi
Just my usual note: High Tea is the working class Englishman's supper meal: strong tea, lashings of bread and jam, with eggs or side meat or some other stick to the ribs dish, served without ceremony as in effect a family meal. Afternoon Tea or just "Tea" is what this thread is really about, and what the various venues written about attempt - more and less successfully - to charge a great deal of money for !
re: Bigtigger
that is why the High tea is correctly the protein-rich and rustic "Ploughman's" one.
re: smr714
Quick correction -- the Doctor's House is in Kleinburg, not Schomburg.
I'm not an afternoon tea expert, but I do enjoy going. I've been to a few around the city.
I wasn't that impressed with the tea at the King Eddy. The first time I went, the food was fine. The second time, the KE served their Christmas themed tea menu and it was horrible and the service was appalling. We sat in the cordoned lobby area both times and the atmosphere wasn't relaxing.
Four Seasons has I think, a better enclosed space, but I haven't been too impressed with their food. The first time we were served less than fresh food (think mold). The staff immediately replaced the entire tiered tray with a fresh offering (which unfortunately also was less than fresh). Third time was a charm and the manager offered a bottle of champagne for our troubles. Service is attentive, that's undeniable and they do have the flowering teas.
Park Hyatt is great. I've been a few times. It's a nice space and servers are friendly. The pastries are not as good as I've had elsewhere but the sandwich offerings seem fine. It's a laid back feel and I've always enjoyed my experiences there.
I wasn't that impressed with Windsor Arms. The staff were a little condescending in that they felt we needed to be coached on the proper tea to select. I don't mind receiving a recommendation, but do not appreciate when my own choice is looked at with some mild derision. The food was okay, nothing spectacular.
Red Tea Box offers a more hearty type of bento box style tea. It's interesting to try if you want something beyond convention. While some comment that the space is cutesy and eclectic, I personally find it uncomfortable to relax and sit in. Also, I've walked into the shop a few times and can swear that I've gotten the look where the person giving me the look seems to think that I'm going to abscond with one of her cupcakes. Call me nutty, but I don't really enjoy being treated as if I'm a criminal in an establishment.
The tea at the Royal York is average, nothing fantastic. It's spacious and comfortable but there's not much more to be said about it other than we were given a tour of the rooftop herb garden.
re: daeira
Thanks Daeira, I will try to check out some of your recommendations the next time I have a craving for afternoon tea. Cheers
I've been reading some of your posts since I'm looking for a place in downtown to have afternoon tea and lots of authentic Chinese food in Markham/Richmond Hill area. Your posts are not only enjoyable but also really helpful esp. to someone like me who only gets to come to Toronto once a year or once every two years and is not familiar with the current food scene in GTA.
This year we're bringing DH's parents with us from New York again. Last time in 2006 I took my mother-in-law to Windsor Arms for afternoon tea and she loved it thanks to many helpful hounds here. It was her first English afternoon tea and she really enjoyed it so I want to take her to another English afternoon tea this year. I was going to repeat the experience at Windsor Arms but I heard they had made changes to their tea room in decor and food receipes for the worse, unfortunately.
The other option I didn't get to try last time I was in town was the King Edward and after reading your post here it got me really interested. However, couple issues concern me and I hope you or the hound here can help me. First, mother-in-law had teeth implants done couple weeks ago and can not wear dentures for a little while and really can't chew food. She would have problem eating sandwiches. At Windsor Arms they have a cream tea option where only sweet are served and she can handle that. Does King Edward have such an option? The second concern is about the restaurant being closing for lunch and dinner until 9-2-08 but they're still serving breakfast and afternoon tea. I found this out from their recording when I called around noon on a weekday. There was no live person to answer the phone and people who want to make reservation for afternoon have to leave name and phone number. Did anyone had gone thru this? I wonder if they are having a staffing issue and that might affect the quality of the food/services. Are they having a strike? This would be the only non-authentic Chinese meal I can take my parents-in-law to and unfortunately for my mother-in-law she will be eating mostly soup, tofu, congee and fish for the rest of the trip so I want to make sure her only non-Chinese meal is an enjoyable one. Thanks in advance, Bok Choi and hounds.
re: eatingpal
Hi eatingpal,
Thank you for your kind words. For some unknown reason, I actually took photos of the menu (though they are not of high quality - I had intended to just take the photo to help myself remember what I ate that day). I have posted them here so you can take a look to see if anything interests you (strangely enough, they offer a 'Chinese Tea' that includes little 'dim sum'-like dishes. Personally, I would not risk it, because I would not think that they specialize in creating asian dishes. But who knows?)

I have relatives that went recently to Windsor Arms and they loved it there - however, they have not been to another afternoon tea anywhere else - so I am not sure if they can rate it comparatively. Nor can I say anything definitively about WA since I, myself, have not dined there. I will try to go by year-end though. They told me that the food there was top-notch.
I called the main hotel line and had no problems being patched through to the dining room that holds the afternoon tea event. I would recommend making a reservation in advance since it appears there may only be one seating per afternoon. The restaurant is closed during the summer months.
I would say that the food is not stellar at the King Edward - it is just an enjoyable meal to sit down, relax and chat amongst friends. I am not really looking for good food (emphasis is not on food, but rather atmosphere/decor) when I go to afternoon tea, so it met my expectations. The service is not top-notch, but then again, I wanted to be left alone so that I could relax and chat for the afternoon (they arrived to fill water periodically, which was all I desired - so once again, met my expectations).
I hope you do enjoy it, but I really do not want yourself and your family to put all your hopes up on this one meal. I just want you to go in with your expectations in the right place. Hope this post is of some assistance.
Cheers and Happy Eating!
re: BokChoi
Sad to say Toronto has nothing like tea at Hong Kong's peninsula. IMHO the closest I have found locally is the Prince of Wales in NOTL - no string orchestra but pretty surroundings, very relaxed service and good selection of scones, sandwiches, sweets and real clotted cream. I like their tea with the cheese and champagne!
re: JToronto
I always walk past it, but I never made my way in (for tea that is - I have tried the dinner and it has gone downhill since a year or so ago). Thanks for the review. I will try it out the next time I go to NOTL.
re: BokChoi
Boy I didn't realize there were all these high teas in Toronto. I was gonna go to King Edward one time, but then change of plans.
I will definitely read this post more carefully and pick one.
re: BokChoi
Greetings! Bok Choi,
A very nice lady from the hotel called me back the next day and explained the menu to me which was just how you described it. I asked her if they serve a sweet only tea and the answer was no. She suggested that we ordered two king's tea and two extra pots of tea for $6 each. This sounded good to me since DH doesn't eat sweet so it would actually work out for us. Everytime we had tea at Windsor Arms DH left the sweet almost untouched while ate more than his share of savory. We always ended up leaving a lot of food at WA so sharing makes sense. I also asked the lady about the restaurant being closed for the summer and she assured me it's due to the slow summer season and not a strike. I am weary of hotel strikes because it seems to happen to me in whenever I am staying or visiting in Toronto.
We don't go to afternoon tea expecting great food. This is one of the reasons why DH always resists going to afternoon tea. He doesn't think it's a good value for the quality of food we get for afternoon tea but to please the two important women in his life he compromises once or twice a year. However, he does enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and the usual attentive but un-intrusive services. I love taking girlfriends to afternoon tea. It's such a perfect setting for friends catching up and food isn't as important as atmosphere for gathering like this where topic of conversation is juicier than the food. I'm not comparing food quality of afternoon tea to food quality for a regular meal in a restaurant but I do want to know if it's a true representative of the afternoon tea they serve at King Eddie and not a level down due to the summer restaurant closing or short staffing, esp. I only get to try it once a year or so.
We arrived after 3:30pm on a Saturday and saw most of the sittings in the lobby taken. The lobby was quite noisy with a lot of people standing around so we opted for the restaurant when the nice hostess offered the choice. The setting inside the restaurant was tranquil and more suitable for taking tea. We're glad we're sitted inside instead of lobby. As soon as we sit down we noticed the pretty Wedgewood china on the table. Not knowing if the parents-in-law would like or could eat the food I took them to dim sum/congee for lunch first so they wouldn't go hungry if the food doesn't please their palates. The waiter suggested we order more later if we didn't feel it's enough so we started with two king's tea and two extra pots of tea just as the lady on the phone suggested since the in-laws were still stuffed from lunch. It turned out to be plenty of food for us with some sweet left on the plate.
The tea arrived first and we waited for the staff to pour at least the first cup but no one did. We're a bit disappointed. This is the first time no one poured the first cup for us in a upscale setting like this. I do not expect a white glove service and tea being poured for every cup but everywhere we went like Lady Mendl's, St. Regis in NYC and even Windsor Arms would at least pour the first cup. The waiter at King Eddie simply set down the tea pots and left us. He didn't tell us if the tea was ready for pouring or offered to pour. Taking tea is different than dining in a restaurant IMHO it's more like being invited in someone's house and guests and hosts should act accordingly, at least not so business like. A gracious host would always pour tea for his guests. Has pouring the first cup fallen out of fashion?
The food was pretty much presented the same way with no explanation of what sandwiches and sweets were being offered. I had to ask the waiter if scones presented were of the same flavor and his answer was yes even two were dusted with powder sugar and others weren't. We noticed one particular staff abrupt and rougher than other waiters but he did what was required of him and no more.
I will not go into details about food since Bok Choi had described it and she did it rather well. The only thing I would add was the sandwiches were enjoyable with one exception. I got one piece that was rather dry. Other sandwiches tasted fresh but this particular piece stood out so much because the bread was so dry it was probably a leftover from the day before. I could even tell this by looking at the bread since the corners sort curled up and the color of bread a bit lighter than others. That was the only bad piece and everything else was fine. The kitchen staff probably got this old piece mixed in by mistake but it was disappointing that this could happen in a hotel like this. The scones were not remakable but ok. I like flakier version but that's just a personal preference. Sweets were as what Bok Choi described and I found the cookies tough and not really fresh. The food overall was not on par with other afternoon tea I had but passable except for that dry piece of sandwich.
We tried 4 different teas: Jasmin, Lemon Verbena, Lady Grey and Dajeerling. Lady Grey was a let down. It wasn't that fragnant. The gentlemen made no remarks on their Jasmin or Dajeerling tea so I guess they were fine. However, mother-in-law loved her Lemon Verbena tea and could not stop talking about it. Perhaps we're more critical on tea since we drink a lot of it.
Overall the food was passable and the service good. The wait staff did come over from time to time to add more hot water in the pots without us asking or being instrusive which we like. Except for not pouring us the first cup of tea the service was fine. We really enjoyed our time there. The setting was nice and relaxing. If we return it will be for the elegant yet relaxing atmosphere, not for the food. For afternoon tea the setting plays a more critical role for us and good food is just icing on the cake. Perhaps the food did suffer from the closing of the restaurant during summer but we will not find out. I think I will go back to Windsor Arms next time and I hope it will be as enjoyable as the pre-renovation time. Comparing my previous experiences at Windsor Arms to Hotel King Eddie I prefer Windsor Arms. The food quality and services at Windsor Arms exceeded Hotel King Eddie and the setting was more intimate and a little bit better at least pre-renovation when I was there in summers of 2004, 2005 and 2006. With this said I would not hesitate to try King Eddie again. The setting was pleasant and it was time well spent in a lovely summer afternoon at King Eddie. Bok Choi, thanks very much for your assistance. It took a lot of guess work out of this one for me.
re: eatingpal
You are most welcome, eatingpal. I am glad that my posts have helped you. I am happy to hear you were not too disappointed and that you and your family had a pleasant experience. I will do my utmost to keep up the level of my posts and hopefully they can assist you again in the future. Based on your comments, I will most definitely try to head over to Windsor Arms next time I have a hankering for afternoon tea.
Cheers and Happy Eating
I went this past Sunday to the afternoon tea at the Royal York. It includes a tour of the rooftop garden and bee "farm". The food was atroscious. The sandwiches were horrible and the desserts were boring. The tour was rather strange, too. You couldn't go close to the bees, and the tour guide was the sous-chef, and he seemed nervous and unknowledgable. None of the others in my party had been to high/afternoon tea before, and I was sad that this was their first experience. I would never go back.
re: canadianbeaver
Sorry to hear about the poor performance of Royal York. Glad I can learn from it though.
Cheers and thanks for the review.
re: canadianbeaver
Thanks for the report! However, I'm stuck with a gift card from the Royal York that a friend gave me to use specifically for tea. I've never had afternoon tea in Toronto, so now I'm reluctant to have it @ the Royal York.
re: Tabinet
Everything tastes better when it's free - I'm sure you'll have a good time!
I just went here a couple weeks a go for my birthday thing... and I was pretty disappointed ): I liked the little sandwiches and the tea was just kind of alright... I was expecting a lot of the pastries but the lemon curd in the lemon tart had a fishy taste to it, the pistachio square was.... to put it bluntly... nobody finished theirs.... and the madeleine was chalky. I did like the mascarpone cake and the cookie was nice and light, the scones were also warm and lovely. They also wrote in chocolate on one of the plates "Happy Birthday Katie!!" with cute exclamation marks with hearts as the points... the one problem is... my name isn't Katie. It was nice though and my friends had a good laugh about it. So all in all... tea was just alright, the only other thing would have been that I wished they sat us in the lobby, but we got stuck in the actual Cafe Victoria instead.. even though I did ask them when I made reservations to be seated in the lobby.
re: moonflow
Try this http://www.cuppa.ca/teashop.htm in Markham - huge selection of teas.
Everyone dressed in costume.
re: moonflow
moonflow. I would agree that King Edward is not the place to go if you want good food. Also, if you were in the restaurant, that removes the grandeur of the local as well (which is the only reason I went). If you like good food with your tea, do give C5 a try. You have to keep in mind that tea is not generally known for tasting good, but C5's version is as good as any meal I would be willing to pay for.
Sorry to hear you had a disappointing birthday experience.
Lovely to see that people in the area enjoy a little high tea here and there. I do too! I went to the Royal York about 5 years ago when they had a promotion for the Princess Diana exhibit that was town at the time. I really admired the silver wear and pastries, little creme puffs shaped like swans.
I treated my Mom to the High Tea service at the Dorchester in London this spring when she came to visit me as I had been living there for about a year. They didn't arrange everything on the tiered platter, which kind of bummed me out... however the service was impeccable and they walked around with trays of finger sandwiches to replenish your fine china plate throughout the majority of the service.
I also had a service at a smaller cafe in High Kensington which was less formal but fun no less.
Wanting to go again this year for my birthday I have decided on the King Eddy, mainly because the menu had what sounded good to me and it is somewhat traditional there which is what appeals to me. Thanks for posting your pics of what you had and the menus! I am also tempted to get the Ploughmans in addition to the Kings choice, will let you know if it was an off day for you depending if I have a big breakfast that day or not ;)
re: mellecat
I hope you enjoy your birthday celebration at King Edward. I am sure the quality of the baked goods/ tea won't measure up to London, but the atmosphere is quite nice there. Make sure you are seated in the Foyer to fully enjoy the space/atmosphere of K.E. I just want you to have your expectations in check before heading there - I prefer to have a pleasant atmosphere rather than stellar food when I have tea. I have very low expectations when it comes to food at these places. If you keep this in mind, I am sure you will have a wonderful time. I am glad the photos helped you to decide on a venue. Please do report back! Have you had a chance to read the entire thread in its entirety? I want you to have a well-rounded opinion going into your meal.
Cheers and Happy Birthday!

I Feel Like I Fit in my Skin Again - Provo, UT
Five pregnancies and nursing 5 babies took it's...
Dr. Marion was a superb surgeon for my recent breast augmentation. He was extremely knowledgeable on recent studies and research and willing to listen to and discuss all of my questions and concerns. He even offered to research something for me that he didn't know, and called me later to let me know what he'd found out. In addition to his medical expertise, Dr. Marion has a great artistic aesthetic, and was able to make recommendations and assessments for my body to help achieve the natural look I wanted. During my recovery period he would contact me daily to find out how I was doing and showed genuine concern for my comfort and well-being. His staff was also extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and helpful. I appreciate their professionalism balanced with a very friendly nature, and their beautiful offices really help put me at ease. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and so grateful to Dr. Marion. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

UPDATE: Today, a state committee recommended to the Georgia Board of Regents that illegal immigrants be barred from attending the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech and any other public college that doesn't have the room to admit all qualified applicants. The committee also recommended that all Georgia colleges verify every admitted student seeking in-state tuition to determine if the student is legally in the country. Read more here.
The best way to judge a nation is to examine how it treats its children and that means all children, even those whose parents arrived by boat or border crossing.
Our country loses when we enact immigration policies that deny educational opportunities to children to punish their parents. Every educated American is a boon to our economy, our health and our future. My own grandparents were legal immigrants from Italy who eked out a living. Yet, all their grandchildren are college educated, home-owning, taxpaying citizens. We now have Wall Street traders, doctors, corporate lawyers, architects and teachers on the family tree.
And that evolution owes to one thing: Higher education.
Today, I participated in a conference call about the federal Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors or Dream Act, which broadens access to higher education for immigrant children and puts them on a path to citizenship. The Senate could vote on the bill this week, although it is attached to the Defense Authorization bill, which has run into problems today.
While the Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that illegal immigrants are entitled to a public school education, nothing in the ruling addresses their college status. Now, states have the power to determine whether or not to admit illegal aliens into college and what to charge them.
Georgia law requires illegal immigrants to pay out-of-state tuition. But there is an effort under way to bar these students from public colleges, growing out of the high-profile case of a Kennesaw State University student whose traffic stop sparked a firestorm when it was revealed she was paying in-state tuition.
The Dream Act grants conditional status for six years to undocumented students who arrived in this country before age 16, lived here at least five consecutive years, graduated high school and are of good moral character.
During that six years, the student would have to graduate from a two-year community college or complete at least two years of a four-year degree, or serve in the U.S. military to qualify to apply for permanent resident status. (These students could not receive federal higher education grants, and states could still set college tuition higher for them.)
"It represents a path out of poverty and a path to success. It is an investment our country should make for all children," said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center.
"I believe it is not only the right thing to do for these students, it is also the right thing to do for our country," said U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who was on the call. "In this economy, we need everyone trained and prepared. These children were brought here by their parents, often as infants without making any choice of their own. It will stop punishing people for the accidental circumstances of their birth. America is the only country they know. They have done exactly what was asked of them in their schools. Our country needs the benefit of their skills, their talents and their passion."
The Dream Act has passed twice out of the Senate judiciary committee and passed the full Senate in 2006 with the support of 11 Republicans, all of whom remain in office, said Duncan, pledging his backing and that of President Obama to its passage. If passed, the act would immediately impact 726,000 students, 100,000 of whom live in Arizona.
Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University, said he has met hundreds of undocumented students in his state and has come to admire their drive and their abilities. Why is America hiring talent abroad while denying an education to bright children within its own communities, he said.
"You want to tap into that talent. My own view of the fairness doctrine is that high achievement, particularly by children, ought to be recognized, regardless of the national political debate," he said. "We are talking about children and we are talking about fairness. Appallingly, we have allowed the mistreatment of children to go on for political gain."
Crow said Dream Act passage by Congress "would send a tremendous signal that individuals with talent who have worked their way into successful pathways are now pulled out of the bigger immigration debate and their lives can move forward while immigration issues are resolved over the longer term."
John J. DeGioia, president of Georgetown University, echoed his Arizona colleague's comments: "These are young people who aren't here by their own choice. They have played by our rules. They have succeeded by our rules. For everything we stand for as a people….for the deepest values we stand for…they should be able to continue their development in this country."
Myrtle Dorsey, chancellor of Baton Rouge Community College and chair-elect of the American Association of Community Colleges, said many of these students do not realize they are undocumented until they apply to college. "They have English as their first language. They are actively part of the fabric of this country. They have succeeded in school," she said.
One such student is Diana Rebolledo, 20, of Michigan. Her parents brought her to the United States from Mexico when she was 9, and she became a varsity soccer player, a band member and honor student in high school. "I never questioned my father's decision," she said. "He wanted to give us a better life. In my home country, that was not an option."
(For a great story on a local student in this same situation, please read Laura Diamond's piece on Miriam Torres.)
So, she worked as hard as her parents. But while her high school classmates talked about college in their senior year, Rebolledo remained silent, not wanting to reveal that as an undocumented student, she could not afford college since she was not eligible for aid and would be required to pay much higher tuition because of her illegal status.
After graduating high school, working and saving her money, she is now in community college and part of the One Michigan student campaign to pass the Dream Act. (The Georgia student advocacy group is called the Georgia Dreamers.)
What sense does it make to hold back ambitious young people like Diana Rebolledo, who wants to be a teacher? She cannot be blamed for coming to America 11 years ago. Her parents came here for the same reasons as my grandparents, to create a better life for their children. Yes, my grandparents immigrated legally, but they had an ocean between them and America. They couldn't pack their bags and walk to a new beginning.
I wonder how many desperate parents would cross a border illegally to feed their starving children?
I would. And I bet most of you would, too.

No, the Dream Act does not benefit all immigrants. It will only benefit those that came to the U.S. 5 years before its enactment, that is before September of 2005, that is if the bill passes this month. Not only that, but they also have to have been 16 or younger before the year 2005 and aren't older than 35. This is only going to help nearly 700,000 students. Barely anything when you keep in mind that the average high school graduating class consists of 4.3 million students every year! Keep the Dream Act alive. It's the right thing to do!

OMG- I thought your article on Ole Miss mascot was silly.Now this.Let's just give away our country to any one and everyone. My grandparents were immigrants from Ireland. But they came legally!!!!! What is it about giving something to someone who is not following the law of the land?By the way, they leave Mexico because of the lack of laws and they come here to break the law. Education is for everyone in America as long as their are Americans Legally!!!!!!

The DREAM is DEAD, as it should be. Harry Reid has shown again that he will do whatever pandering and butt kissing he needs to do, even to illegal aliens, to gain votes. The Dems are using the Mexicans only for their own selfish causes. Reid and the Dems KNEW that the Dream Act would not pass, as it hasn't for the last 10 years. Any bills for immigraton reform will die as Americans have said time and time again, we do not want another amnesty (which the DREAM Act is) and we expect our immigration laws to be enforced.

What does your grandparents have to do with illegal immigration? There were no immigration laws when your grandparents arrived in the US. There are today. Offerring higher education to illegal immigrants (yes, children of illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants) constitutes an unfunded liability to the citizens of the US. How can you justify having the citizens of the US pay for their education when illegals do not pay taxes? At least legal immigrants would pay appropriate fees and tuition if they went to the school in the US. Legal immigrants also have to apply for education as well as work visas. Illegals do not. Their cicumvention of the system costs everyone including legal immigrants. Lets also not forget that providing higher education to illegals would force out qualified US citizens at schools with limited enrollments. How can you justify the favoritism of children of illegals over children of legal immigrants and US citizens?

If the Dream Act had a condition that the child is an orphan, it would have a chance, I think. Otherwise, the parents should repatriate their children to their homeland.

Why should the U.S. do anything to help? They already gamed the system and got a U.S. taxpayer funded education through high school. They are asking too much.

"Lets also not forget that providing higher education to illegals would force out qualified US citizens at schools with limited enrollments." – - Only the most qualified students would attend. This has no impact on the standards of a school. "constitutes an unfunded liability to the citizens of the US" – - Not exactly. Many illegal immigrants pay taxes…sales taxes, income taxes, real estate taxes, etc. – - – "we do not want another amnesty (which the DREAM Act is)" – - – No, the DREAM Act is not amnesty by any means. Do you even know what amnesty means?

How many babies must be born right off the plane, in the airport or on the way from the airport before people GET IT? I work in a metro hospital and I have FIRST hand experience with the women that arrive to give birth after having landed in this country, Not ALL straight from the airport mind you, but not having been here not even a couple of weeks in most cases, and believe me, they aren't starving. They come here to have their "anchor" babies (yes, I said it) then automatically apply for every type of welfare assistance that exists. Just one of many examples….If you spend the first few minutes of your time at the hospital on the phone with the airline trying to locate your Louis Vuitton luggage, GO HOME and raise your child. These women do not hesitate to tell anyone that asks that they've come simply to deliver their baby here. They have MANY MANY family members here and in their home countries and have no intention of seeking employment or contributing anything to society other than more babies. It's these blatant abuses of our law that frustrate American citizens to the point of having no sympathy at all for the immigrants that come here out of true need instead of opportunism. For those that are truly shocked at the strong negative emotions people express against such things as the Dream Act, consider how many of us have had numerous personal experiences with immigrants raping our system with abandon.

"By the way, they leave Mexico because of the lack of laws and they come here to break the law." – - Actually, many illegals I have met left Mexico because of lack of food and jobs…not lack of laws. They had nothing, their families were starving and not a roof to live under. The worst poverty-stricken town in the US is still rich when compared to some of the poverty in Mexico. They were hungry, plain and simple…and I dare say that many of us Americans have never felt "real" hunger.

@Maureen Downey
While it is easy for liberals to pick apart people whose grandparents were Irish or Italian immigrants, what do you have to day to me, a son of Korean immigrants? My parents spent years and money to come here the right way. My mom is trying to sponsor my uncle to come here and the whole process will take 7 years and cost thousands of dollars. And also, I know many immigrants from Asia and Europe who came here on student visas and stayed here on work permits and are going through hell trying to become citizens.
How is it fair that people who circumvented the system are being put in line in front of people who do it the right way? How is it fair that the illegals are put ahead in line for citizenship solely for political gain?
And lastly, how is someone with a high school diploma and 2 years of community college a contributing member to society anyway that deserves citizenship? That sounds like every stoner I knew in high school. At least make it required to have a degree from a four year.

Not everyone had the same opportunity as you "we lost our way." Just because someone is illegal doesn't mean they should be treated like gargage. Most illegals work twice if not three times as hard as American Citizens have to work. FYI Mexicans aren't the only illegal people in this country. There are people all around the world who come to America seeking an opportunity to better themselves, not knowing it is extremely difficult to go about that dream. Besides, it's not like children comprehend they are breaking a law by entering the U.S illegally simply because they are CHILDREN!! They have no other choice but to follow their parents. Why punish innocent hard working immigrants when what you should be concerned about are all the gangbangers, rapist, sex offenders, and criminals who don't do anything but make the U.S. a very dangerous place to live in. Some say that all illegals do is take jobs away from Americans and feed off of taxes that Americans pay, but in reality they work jobs that Americans are disgusted to do. Illegals not only pay taxes but dont have the benefit of recieving what they have worked so hard for simply because they are illegal. It's repulsive just to see that people are so IGNORANT. AMERICA IS A COUNTRY MADE UP OF IMMIGRANTS. If it wasn't for immigrants who fought the Native Americans we wouldn't all be here including you ignorant racist venamous close minded people (specifically directed to "we lost our way"!!!!!!!)

I am an undocumented student; I graduated with honors and in the top ten percent of my high school. I had to compete with students that had every door opened for them and little was opened for me. I came to this country when I was four years old by the time I was six years old I was considered gifted in English. By the time I graduated from high school I was the only student who was gifted in both history and science. I have also completed hundreds of community service hours and was an intern in a police station. I was in the varsity cross country team; I became a member of the varsity squad and making it to the state championships. I was accepted to into all the universities I applied. On average the tuition for these universities was forty thousand dollars a year, although I did have scholarships it was not enough, I am now attending a community college. Even though, I was not able to attend a four year university i will overcome obstacle that life throws my way. I am American and therefore deserve the rights that anyone else.

Any arguement can be cloaked in any manner which either supports or denigrates the issue. Sure, society, IN THEORY, would benefit from an illegal earning…that is, EARNING…a degree. We can all remember the "trickle-down" theory advanced, with much aplomb, in the Reagen years. This very same theory would be applied in this scenario. However, let's pause for a moment and visit the land of reality.
First and foremost is the issue of two words: IL and LEGAL. Put them together and wadya got…"GIMME AN "IL"…GIMME a "LEGAL"…WADYA GOT? In this land of perpetual pc-ism, we're constantly redefining issues because we're affraid someone might become displeased…WHAT THE HELL HAVE WE BECOME? The laughingstock of the globe, that's what.
Hey, I've got an idea…let's remove ALL vestiges of civilization. Murder would simply become a means of self-expression. Let's not stiffle that freedom to express one's self, lest the self esteem issues take a dive. Speeding is perfectly acceptable, for this to serves as an outlet for the over-stressed. Never mind the property damage and altered/lost lives. A small price to pay for the freedom of self-expression. (Does this sound totally rediculous yet? You ain't seen nothing yet!).
English as a spoken word should be banished under pain of law. Those immigrants, legal and illegal who have earned a degree (which was completely rewritten in the native language of the immigrant scholar, so as not to cause them undue stress) will surely solve the Nation's problems which have bedeviled us for so long.
Immigrants, legal and illegal, should not have to contend with the "pulling up by the bootstraps" difficulties with which their Ellis Island forefathers had to contend. I'm sure the American taxpayer would gladly fund such educations in order that immigrants, after a lifetime of living within US borders, haven't taken the initiative to learn six words of pidgeon english, direct their efforts toward molding a better society…RIGHT!
If a citizen of a foreign country wishes to attend a US institution of higher learning…fine. There are/were/used to be procedures. Follow the protocol, play the game, if you will, and all will benefit. Unfortunately, I don't think that is happening.
I don't think kids of American parentage would mind if limited seats, resources, etc, were occupied by kids of immigrants, legal or illegal. Why they could go to college in the countries of those who have displaced them…talk about the student exchange concept.

Maybe the answer is to change the law that let illegal children go to public school. It should read, " You (the student) AND your biological/ adoptive parent(s) MUST be LEGAL citizens or residents of the USA/STATE to attend public school. ) That way the babies born here wouldn't just qualify because they were born here. They (and their parents) would have to be legal residents before you would qualify to go.
We need ot treat education as a privledge not as a right.

@Autum F. Such extreme generalization is what makes this debate so high in emotion but so low in actual reality. Did someone say we should be treating illegals like garbage? I don't remember seeing that myself. I do remember reading that folks want illegals to be held to the law, as are the citizens of our country. That sounds fair to me. By saying that illegals work twice or three times as hard as Americans is just plain insulting. Do you know how I work for what I have? What about the other posters here? I think you just insulted ALL the hardworking Americans that choose to work more than one job to provide for their families by insinuating Mexicans work HARDER just because they're Mexican. And if you think there aren't any IMMIGRANT gangbangers, rapists, sex offenders and criminals you are too terribly naive for words. The irony is that those immigrant gangbangers, rapists, sex offenders and criminals are being welcomed with open arms by those that think every immigrant comes here to LAWFULLY benefit from the opportunities here. I'll bet immigrant drug dealers appreciate your generalizations just as much as the innocents looking for a better life.

@ Elisabeth "They (and their parents) would have to be legal residents before you would qualify to go." – - – Only if the illegals were also prohibited to pay their share of city/state/income taxes that help fund these public schools. Guess what? That will never happen.
September 21st, 2010
4:45 pm
Life is about choices. Life isn't fair. The illegal immigrants came here by choice. They knew what they were doing was illegal, yet they chose to come here any way. My hard working family and the tax dollars that we pay should not go towards helping the illegals out-which to me is giving them handouts. I feel sorry for the children that come here, but these children should be angry with their parents, not America and the laws that America has for people who are illeagal.
This idea smells of the notion of loosing our borders and having a world wide government system, making everything fair for everyone. This means lowering our standard of living, while raising it for other less unfortunate soles. The rich will remain rich and be in power.
Maureen, Look up Obama Deception on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw). Maybe you'll understand what the government is up to, and why Americans are up in arms and want their country back.
September 21st, 2010

"if illegals want to become American citizens, join the military. give something back to the country you stole from." – - – Stole what, exactly? Oh, many non-citizens have joined the military…and many have died in service. Just letting you know.

@ Carina,
I don't give a damn about how bad Mexico has it.
fixing their economy is not our problem.
Mexico has more than enough oil to reshape its economy
if it wanted to – it doesn't
September 21st, 2010

"Maybe you'll understand what the government is up to, and why Americans are up in arms and want their country back." – - – Targeting their anger towards illegals, instead of the "elite" is hardly the way to take your country back.

illegals who have attended public school here have stolen
tax dollars from legal US citizens. funds intended to educate
our own children, and those who are here LEGALLY.
what part of this is too tough for you Carina?
September 21st, 2010
4:50 pm
tossing out illegals is a good first step, however.
September 21st, 2010

tossing out the idiots in congress, followed by Obama is a
good second step

4:50 pm
"I don't give a damn about how bad Mexico has it. fixing their economy is not our problem. Mexico has more than enough oil to reshape its economy if it wanted to – it doesn't" – - – Bingo! That is exactly why an independent arm of Congress has proposed to open the border to Mexico! Canada as well, but that's irrelevant. Wait, does this really piss you off? Then read the report titled, "Building a North American Community" and look at all the wonderful proposals YOUR country's real leaders are thinking of doing. Not mainstream media of course, but the people of the US should know.
September 21st, 2010

how much of my money do you feel illegals are entitled to?
what opportunites should my kid – legal BTW – lose to illegals
and how does this work in Mexico?
Mexico open its doors, arms, and treasury to illegals from the
US or central America?
September 21st, 2010
4:52 pm
"illegals who have attended public school here have stolen tax dollars from legal US citizens." – - The old 'all illegals don't pay taxes' myth. Sorry to burst your bubble bootney, but some illegals do pay income taxes, some pay city/real estate taxes and they all pay…get this…SALES TAXES!
September 21st, 2010
4:54 pm
I don't really give a damn about what Canada is up to, either.
but as a rule Canadians who come here actually pay their way,
do it legally, and contribute.
sorry, your strawman just burned up.
logic is not on your side here
September 21st, 2010
4:54 pm
"how much of my money do you feel illegals are entitled to? what opportunites should my kid – legal BTW – lose to illegals" – - – Your child would lose nothing, if he/she is deserving of something.
"and how does this work in Mexico? Mexico open its doors, arms, and treasury to illegals from the
US or central America?" – - Irrelevant. I will not even address Mexico's immigration policies since they are irrelevant.

sorry Carina,
that's about the stupidist thing you could have come up with.
even it that stupid arguement were true – its not – the numbers
just aren't on your side, LA notwithstanding.
its theft, pure and simple. sorry if it makes you feel bad,
but its illegal AND immoral.
you lose again.
September 21st, 2010
4:56 pm
"I don't really give a damn about what Canada is up to, either. but as a rule Canadians who come here actually pay their way, do it legally, and contribute." – - – No, the proposal comes from American citizens, and states that the Canadian border and the Mexican border should be opened. How did you not understand that comment? "sorry, your strawman just burned up. logic is not on your side here" – - Actually, facts are. Logic doesn't count in the courtroom. Facts do. That's how I was raised. I am presenting you with facts in my argument. How have you not comprehended them?
September 21st, 2010
4:58 pm
every cent of my tax dollars, or even my sales taxes, spend supporting illegals in any way is taking money from my family
since I did not agree to give it, and it is diverted from its intended
use – legal citizens and visitors – it theft.
Carina, you like theft?
September 21st, 2010
4:59 pm
I do not know who told the American Public that undocumented aliens dont pay taxes, its a BIG MISCONCEPTION. I am one of these people who the DREAM ACT would benefit. I went to middle, high school and college here in the states. My father, who is an illegal immigrant, is also a home howner. He pays taxes on his home every year and pays taxes to the school district. Every week taxes are deducted from his payroll and SOCIAL SECURITY IS DEDUCTED ALSO_eventhough he has NO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, and this has been the case since we arrived here.
I am aware that the obvous percentage of the immigrant community doesnt pay taxes,people who get payed in cash, like construction workers and agricultures, but this is not the mayority. MOST UNDOCUMENTED ALLIENS PAY THEIR TAXES…And the youth who will benefit from this legislation are the children of these tax payers. WE ARE AS AMERICAN AS EVERYONE ELSE. you would not tell my family apart from any other American family.
I know nothing about my country of birth. I cant blame my father for bringing us here to save us from starvation and war, but now that I am an adult, i am aware of my situation and I dont agree with it, and i dont want it. All I want is the opportunity to live here legally…AND BELIEVED ME, I HAVE LOOKED, but current legislation does not allow me to be.
We dont want anything for free, we dont want to take YOUR money,and all of us are willing to pay everything we owe to this beautiful nation. All we need is the chance to do so.
September 21st, 2010

"that's about the stupidist thing you could have come up with. even it that stupid arguement were true – its not – the numbers just aren't on your side, LA notwithstanding." – - I didn't "come up with" anything. I work for the IRS. I know the numbers…so yes, I didn't make it up.
"its theft, pure and simple. sorry if it makes you feel bad, but its illegal AND immoral." – - – It doesn't make me feel bad, at all. You are entitled to be believe what you do, I'm just trying to refute your argument which seems completely biased and based on no factual evidence at all.
"you lose again." – - I'm trying to enlighten you. Perhaps you are right. You don't seem enlightened. I do lose, then.

"Jasper Robinson's Day Off"
Gay porn parodies are always fun, and Boycrush Studios has picked a classic teen flick for its latest send-up. Everyone knows and loves the hit comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off. A young (and thin) Matthew Broderick starred in this 1986 film from director John Hughes as a wayward high school student. Now, Boycrush gives us Jasper Robinson's Day Off, and the twink star is definitely taking his day in a different direction than Ferris!
Jasper Robinson (above) wakes up hard and horny (what else is new for a teenager?), so he decides to ditch school and hang with best buds Jordan Thomas and Ryker Madison. Heading out on the town, he encounters cuties Aaron Stang and Robbie Anthony, and takes time out for a friendly threeway. School principal (?!) Kyler Ash is on to the delinquent youth and plays a key role in a steamy surprise ending. Writer-director Andy Kay, Phillip Ashton and Mitch Vaughn are also featured in nonsexual roles as Jasper's family. To view the trailer, click here. For more information, visit Boycrush.com.
Season 4 SYTYCF Sponsors Announced
It's almost time for another season of gay porn's only online reality game show. So You Think You Can Fuck is set to return for Season 4 late next month. Previous seasons of this "Survivor meets hard-core gay porn" show (which is how creator and director Dominic Ford describes it) have rewarded porn stars such as Topher DiMaggio, Duncan Black (above, left and right) and Mitch Vaughn. The new season's cast, who will compete in physical and mental challenges, has not been announced yet, but Ford has just released the names of the sponsors.
This year, the show is presented by cruising site Squirt.org. One of the Internet's largest live cam platforms, cam4.com, also joins as a sponsor. As part of a group competition, each team will perform live on cam4.com. Spunk Lube is the official lube sponsor of Season 4, and Dom tells us that there will be a special group challenge that involves Spunk Lube's pure silicone lube. Plus, the brand will be used on set for all sex scenes. Sold Out Clothing is the official clothing sponsor of the new season, and all contestants will be wearing custom uniforms designed by them. And Andrew Christian is the official underwear sponsor, and the contestants will be wearing (you guessed it!) undies designed by him.
"We are incredibly excited at the caliber of sponsorship for Season 4 of So You Think You Can Fuck," Ford says. "The show attracts the best and brightest in our industry, and our partners are a who's who of companies making a difference in the industry today. We thank them for being part of the show, and we can't wait for the public to find out who the contestants are and start watching the show!"
Filming starts at a secret location on January 28. The series will run for 10 episodes starting on February 27. The winner is picked by a panel of expert judges, who critique the sex scenes, and the viewing public, who vote online. The lucky winning porn star gets to appear on the cover of Ford's ADULT magazine, among other prizes. For more information, visit SYTYCF.com.
Electro Play in the Dungeon
This Bound Gods scene with Leo Forte and Mitch Vaughn starts off tenderly, so unlike your typical whip and fuck video. Leo brings Mitch into his dungeon playroom and they kiss passionately against the wall. Then Mitch is bound with rope and the nastiness begins.
Mitch's hands are tied above his head and Leo sucks the muscle stud's hard, throbbing cock and gets him pretty revved up. Leo ramps things up with some electro play. I interviewed Mitch Vaughn a while ago and he said one of his fetishes is electro stimulation, so I'm not surprised that his cock responds naturally when Leo inserts an electric butt plug into his fuck hole and turns on the juice. With his butt buzzing, Mitch gets his cock edged by his master and he's pleading to bust his load already, but things are just getting started.
After an intense flogging session, Vaughn is force-fed his master's cock. Then tied to the bed with his legs in the air, the muscle slave gets his ass fucked hard. But for me the best part of this scene is the very end in the final interview reel where Leo Forte says, "I have to say that playing with you has been the highlight of my porn career, you're such a hot fucking man". And that makes this scene extra hot!
Think You Can Win A "Fuck" Contest?!
The third season of Dominic Ford's So You Think You Can Fuck show is rolling along. Matthew Rush is back as host of the reality series, and previous winners Topher DiMaggio and Mitch Vaughn (below) lead the two competing teams. One recent scene featured Derek Parker fucking Duncan Black as the guys continue to vie for the title of America's favorite porn star. And now, the online studio is sweetening the pot with three contests for faithful fans. They are:
Contest #1: Goes to the site member who has voted the most for the winning contestant.
Reward: $75 in the site's online store.
Contest #2: Goes to the nonmember who has voted the most for the winning contestant.
Reward: $50 in the site's store or one free month (when three months are purchased).
Contest #3: Goes to the person (member or nonmember) who has tweeted the most, telling others to vote for the winning contestant. Must include #sytycf and sytycf.com to be eligible.
Reward: $50 in the site's store or one free month (when three months are purchased).
The contests started with Episode 1 of Season 3 and will end one week after the finale. Several episodes are still on the way, so keep watching and voting! For more information, visit DominicFord.com.
Third Season Of SYTYCF Set To Premiere
Seems like only yesterday we were covering the latest season of So You Think You Can Fuck, the online reality series from Dominic Ford. Well, just as the fall TV season is starting to get stale, the fun competition show returns for another cycle starting on Thursday, November 8. The third season of the popular Web series features a mostly new cast (though past winners Mitch Vaughn and Topher DiMaggio, bottom pics, are both on board again) who will do anything to win the title of America's favorite porn star. The attractive bunch, which also includes Derek Parker, Lance Luciano, Sean Duran and Duncan Black, gussies up the cover of the latest issue of Ford's Adult magazine (available for download at Ireadadult.com). The 10-week series was recently shot at a secret location, and director Ford says there will be some interesting changes this season. The contestants will be divided into two teams led by Vaughn and DiMaggio. The porn stars compete in group challenges, and the winners are awarded a certain number of points. Retired superstar Matthew Rush, below, returns as host, and Dom tells GayDemon exclusively that there's "one major surprise twist having to do with the judges." Hmmm. Maybe Christina and Brit Brit will spin around in tacky chairs!? For more info, visit DominicFord.com.
Perverted Doctor's Exam Room Fantasy
Doctor Morgan Black is a dirty bastard who regularly pervs over his patients. But when bald muscle hunk Mitch Vaughn shows up for a check-up, Dr. Black can't help let his fantasies run wild. This new patient is just too much inspiration for the doctor's spank bank. And I'm loving this medical fantasy from Bound Gods. Their dungeon play sessions are hot, but it's nice to see the BDSM site exploring some other kinds of fetish sex.
The doctor imagines how hot it would be to rope this hunky man to his exam table. He hauls the stud's cock out of his jeans and gives it a suck. Then he shoves his own hard dick into his patient's mouth. The doctor bends Mitch over the table, flogs his ass cheeks, then fucks him. Kind of makes you wonder what the other people in the waiting room thought when they heard the flogger smacking Mitch's meaty ass.
But the best part of this scene for me is the rectal exam with this electric butt-plug. And when the doctor turns on the power, Mitch's cock stiffens and dances. Mitch's hole definitely likes the attention even if he's yelping and protesting. Finally, the doctor wants to feel his cock inside this stud's ass one more time. So he puts Mitch down on all fours, locks his hands and feet in a stock, and pounds away until he's ready to shoot his cum load.
Newbie Doug Acre Does "Dad" Duty
Does newcomer Doug Acre look familiar to you? Channel 1 Releasing is taking credit for introducing the hung young buck to the world, but we've seen him before. In fact, he appeared in this film for Jet Set Men last summer. He's also done online work for College Dudes, Jake Cruise, Men.com and the defunct (?) AustinZane. But the studio still says that Doug is making his "adult feature debut" in Chi Chi LaRue's incestuous saga Fucked By Our Dads. They add that he is "reminiscent of classic Catalina Video performers like Kevin Williams and John Davenport." Anyone remember them either!? Oh well, who cares!? Acre is part of a five-man orgy in the Catalina release that is said to be "one of the hottest scenes in an already over-the-top film." He's described as "clean-cut with striking good looks and a super-nasty, filthy-talking dirty attitude with complete star quality." Well, the hung part is true anyway! Dads also features Brian Davilla, Mike DeMarko, Shay Michaels, Spencer Reed, Rex Roddick, Adam Russo, Alex Slater, Collin Stone and Mitch Vaughn. For more information, visit C1R.com.
Men On Edge Site On The Way
We're about to get all wrapped up in a new bondage site! The talented creators behind KinkMen are prepping the ropes and chains for MenonEdge.com, which promises studs "tied up and begging to cum". The spin-off site will offer scenes from big-name talent such as Mitch Vaughn, Marc Dylan, Jessie Colter and Trent Diesel. But for now, we'll have to make due with teenager Cody Allen in a surprisingly hard-core preview scene. The lightweight twink gets tied up and blindfolded while his mouth and ass are mercilessly pounded. After some flogging and prolonged edging, 19-year-old Cody gets rewarded with a vibrating dildo where the sun don't shine. He begs to jizz and eventually gets his wish. Okay, so he's a bit young to be doing such heavy-duty stuff. But the makers of BoundGods, BoundinPublic and NakedKombat know what they're doing, so we'll be hanging on until the new site launches. Stay tuned!
Bath House Fucking Is HOT!
I don't know of one single guy that does not get turned on by a sauna or locker room full of hunky men, all sweaty and naked right after a hard workout at the gym. Not ONE single guy. O.k, o.k maybe a straight guy, but even still, just the idea is deliciously sabroso!
Well, the latest scene for Bath House Bait is what gay porn fantasies are all about! Sweaty, hunky gays getting changed in the locker room. Then the towels come flying off and BOOM! They are all fucking and sucking each other dry! That is exactly the action that should be going down in ANY locker room!
This scene stars none other than hot and luscious bottom hunk Trey Turner, and he really likes to take cock up that bubble butt! The one that does almost all of the fucking here is hunky-spunk Mitch Vaughn, who loves to get his hot rod into any tight space - it seems Trey's ass was asking for a mega-deep pounding and that is exactly what he got!
This orgy is non-stop hardcore action, and everyone on the locker room got more than what they bargained for. You won't see any of them complaining; just mega, mega moaning and groaning!
Mitch & Spencer: Passionate Fuck
We have already seen Mitch Vaughn and Spencer Williams before on the Gaydemon blog; they are the gay porn couple that are not only happily married but they know how to make one HOT fuck scene CUM alive with passion ans tons and tons of sexual chemistry! The camera don't like my gays!
Well, this power gay porn power couple have recently done an incredibly sexy scene for Dominic Ford and they passionately kiss, suck each other off in the shower and finally Mitch ends up fucking Spencer's round luscious tanned ass for all it is worth!
It's soo hot to watch real life couples fuck on camera! There is something more intimate about the scene 'cos obviously they know what turns them on, and there are none of those awkward silences or cheesy "yeah, yeah fuck me baby!" lines, thank the Lord!
I want to see more of these 2 in these hardcore sessions. Hopefully next time we'll get another hottie thrown into the mix! Can you imagine these hot-as-fuck studs in a cum-tastic orgy?! Yup! I put it out there now - someone get it done! The public (AKA all us horny HOMOS) demand it!
Check out the scene over at Dominic Ford
