A number of Latin American countries have achieved economic growth by an extractivist model of production that increases the gross domestic product (GDP) at the cost of the intensive use of gradually exhausted natural resources such as: large-scaling mining with cyanide to cause major environmental impacts, or monoculture plantations for export, at the expense of diversified rural production.

5 Reasons Why the Bears Are Wrong About Berkshire Hathaway
By Jessica McCann - July 28, 2013 | Tickers: BRK-B, BRK-A, CBI, DVA
Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) growth over the last year would be impressive, at least, if you ignored the upward drift of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Having an edge in the markets is all about access to information, which is why market participants pay close attention to insider transactions. After all, who's in a better position to know what a company's future prospects are than the people who run the company?
What investors often forget is that not every insider transaction is a market signal. Directors, officers and CEOs are people, too. Executives may more »

When it comes to funding your child's or grandchild's college education, there is no "right" mix of stocks. How effective your strategy will be depends on a host of factors, but above all, it depends on your time frame. If you have 18 years to work with, setting up a DRIP account that withdraws $100 a month from your bank account and automatically reinvests the dividends is probably more »
3 Mid-Cap Stocks Set to Smash Earnings Estimates
By Jessica McCann - July 18, 2013 | Tickers: CBS, DHI, MDC, RHI, SLE, RYL
Few surprises are as ugly for investors as an earnings miss.
One of the reasons why is the flexibility of GAAP accounting itself: while there's no such thing as a free lunch, company CFOs have considerable latitude in how earnings are presented, as well what charges to take and when.
Even trivial misses, so the thinking goes, may indicate that something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and more »

Legendary value investor and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett has the kind of problems the rest of us only dream of having. Problems like, "What brand names can I spend $30 billion on this year that would turn a solid profit with a reasonable margin of safety?" The answer, or $13 billion worth of it, at least for Berkshire's end, is H.J. Heinz (NYSE: HNZmore »)

can't deny the shine of a jedi
My Story
My story is
MEMORABLE. I am a pure pond in the dry desert, a source of energy for the animal kingdom around me. I refreshingly replenish the world's thirst with a cleansing reminder, because I cannot be forgotten.
I am the
ACHIEVER. I am a candle burning with a fierce intensity, illuminating the darkness around me. When the stars awake at night I am their North Star. Aligned upon a universal axis, they recognize my everlasting flame twinkling afar, because I cannot be forgotten.
I am the
RELATOR. I am King Midas, granting royalty by touching the loyalty around me. We walk hand in hand through the pathless land of Truth, because we cannot be forgotten.
I am
INTELLECTION. I am a specific collection of the unique insights I observe in and around me. They gently guide me to look for answers inside the questions — not why, but who cannot be forgotten?
I am
CONNECTEDNESS. I am in the family of leaves when they hold hands with brother branches and dance to the music of a force that is felt, but never seen around me. The winds of faith give flight to my wings, which fly me to my destiny, where I'm meant to be: unforgotten.
I am
RESTORATIVE. I confidently answer when humanity calls, challenging me to change myself and in turn, the world around me. I use my time to revise and remodel, revamp and rework, only to find that in time, most will be forgotten.
My story is
cudders X surface to air = fire
0 plays
Wake up and see just what, what could be
My life as, as good as it ever be, ever be
Close, close my mind, to the outside light
I'm fuck fucked up and I can't leave, can't leave
You can't, can't be, where I,I be
Follow me and you'll see and you'll see
You can't, can't see, what I, I see
Follow me and you'll be free, you'll be free
So hard to cope it hurt, hurt my hope
My pride deep inside is fading slow
Fall, fall asleep my brain runs at speeds
I'm lost, lost in dreams and reality, reality
Please save me Lord, my life is such a chore
But I, I need this to be okay, be okay
What, what they think of me it ain't no thing
My heart, heart is broke completely
Nothing in the world can take the place of motivation. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Motivation and determination are omnipotent.

—Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
—Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose.

—The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
—Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.
—Every man must patiently bide his time. He must wait — not in listless idleness but in constant, steady, cheerful endeavors, always willing and fulfilling and accomplishing his task, that when the occasion comes he may be equal to the occasion.
—Fame comes only when deserved, and then is as inevitable as destiny, for it is destiny.

MAYNARD, Mass., Oct. 16 (UPI) — The annual enrollment period for next year's Medicare is beginning earlier and ending earlier as well, but most seniors don't know it, a U.S. survey says.
The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is the only time during the year when Medicare consumers can review and change their Medicare coverage to something more affordable or better suited to their needs. In the past the enrollment period was from Nov. 15 and ended on Dec. 31, but for Jan. 1, 2012, the annual enrollment period begins a full month earlier on Oct. 15 and ends on Dec. 7.
A survey conducted for Opinion Research Corp. for PlanPrescriber, a subsidiary of eHealth, Inc., indicates 65 percent of Medicare Part D enrollees are not aware that Medicare's annual enrollment period for Part D and Medicare Advantage benefits has been changed for 2012 plans.
The randomized phone survey polled 711 adults age 65 and older in July and August.
Seventy percent of Medicare respondents said they plan to review their plans during annual enrollment.
Recent PlanPrescriber user studies showed more than 90 percent of users with prescription drug coverage might be able to save more than $500 a year by reviewing their plans because many plans change premiums, deductibles, drug tiers, from year to year, while 34 percent said they would have lost at least one prescription drug if they had not changed plans.
No other survey details were provided.

I'm terrified about my appointment with my urologist on Thursday because it could ruin my already ruined life. I should say it could ruin the only hope I have at getting a better life.
I'm hoping the doctor will give me a miracle instead.

Hewo world! (Taken with instagram)
While i was in Denmark, i met this terribly sweet fan. She was tweeting me all day because she so wanted to meet me and Legaci and even waited outside in the cold for us. She gave me this letter for Legaci , JB and the JB crew. Yes I do read these letters, and yes I am thankful for every fan. Sometimes we forget that in the smallest gestures, we can really brighten someones day. I saw it in her eyes. When we met she lit up, and for a brief second I knew that in some esoteric way her life was just a bit happier by me noticing her. For Freja, all she wanted was to be noticed, to stand out and acknowledged by someone she admired. She gave us a letter, and bird band bracelet and some local candy. I try to be appreciative of these small gestures because i know there will be a day when no one will know my name. These gestures remind us that we are all human, and that kind acts will go a long way in the grand scheme of life. At the very least it reminds us that people are watching us and are affected by what we do. Being in this business I need that reminder from time to time. So thank you for wanting to be noticed Freja, for in the process we notice ourselves.

Gaping Hole in DD-WRT: Router Software with Back Door
The free router software DD-WRT opens in its version 24(SP1) a huge door due to a vulnerability in its HTTP daemon server.
The problem with the DD-WRT router software is the httpd process doesn't sufficiently test user input and, therefore, is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Takeover of the systems requires only a shell-created crafted link that brings the user to a posting that does the damage without even needing an authenticated session. SecurityFocus has the serious bug still listed as unresolved. The DD-WRT forum meanwhile points to bug fixes for the large number of router models affected.

Prayer at Public School Sporting EventsGenerally speaking, whether the First Amendment permits prayer offered by a student at an extra-curricular public school event, such as a football game, will greatly depend upon the level of control exerted by the school over the event and the prayer.
Generally speaking, whether the First Amendment permits prayer offered by a student at an extra-curricular public school event, such as a football game, will greatly depend upon the level of control exerted by the school over the event and the prayer. The historical context of a particular public school's free speech policies and regulations may also play a large part of any Establishment Clause analysis, as well as the public's perception of the school's neutrality regarding religious matters. Two cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States directly speak to the question at hand: Lee v. Weisman, 505 U.S. 577 (1992) and Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000).
Lee v. Weisman
The Supreme Court first analyzed the constitutionality of graduation prayer in a context similar (though not identical) to prayer offered at a public school football game, in Lee v. Weisman. In Lee, principals of public secondary schools in Providence, Rhode Island regularly invited members of the clergy to give invocations and benedictions at their schools' graduation ceremonies. The middle school principal in Lee even selected the clergyman to give the prayer (in this case a rabbi) and presented him with a pamphlet setting forth guidelines for "nonsectarian" prayer at school graduations. The Court addressed whether "including clerical members who offer prayers as part of the official school graduation ceremony is consistent with the religion clauses of the First Amendment." Lee, 505 U.S. at 580.
Under these facts, the Supreme Court held the graduation prayer unconstitutional, finding that the invocation was directly attributable to the State. The level of involvement and control by school officials was "pervasive, to the point of creating a state-sponsored and state-directed religious exercise in a public school." Id. at 587. "State officials direct[ed] the performance of a formal religious exercise at promotional and graduation ceremonies for secondary schools" inasmuch as the principal decided that an invocation and a benediction should be given, and he directed and controlled the prayer's content. Id. at 586–88. The Court concluded that students attending the graduation were in "a fair and real sense" coerced into participating in a religious exercise. Id. at 586–87. Thus, state sponsorship was the key problem for the Supreme Court in Lee.
Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe
Eight years later, the Supreme Court considered prayer in public school again, but on this occasion, the context involved prayer offered by a student at a football game. In Santa Fe v. Independent School District v. Doe, the Supreme Court held that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits school officials from taking affirmative steps to facilitate prayer at school functions such as football games.
Importantly, Lee and Santa Fe do not stand for the proposition that all student-led religious speech is unconstitutional if offered at a school event: "[N]othing in the Constitution as interpreted by this Court prohibits any public school student from voluntarily praying at any time before, during, or after the school[]day." Santa Fe, 530 U.S. at 313. However, in Santa Fe, the Court's decision turned on several important factors that indicated that the school district, rather than any particular student, was the speaker. Id. at 302, 310. Hence, the Court concluded that the pregame invocations were not "private" speech. In reaching this conclusion, the Court considered the prayer's overall context, the level of government control over the prayer, and whether an extra-curricular setting such as a football game could be considered impermissibly coercive.
1. Overall Context of the Speech
Concerning overall context in Santa Fe, the school district's policy that permitted a chosen student to deliver a message or invocation during pre-game ceremonies failed to pass constitutional muster because the student's speech 1) was specifically authorized by a government policy; 2) took place on government property; and 3) occurred during a government-sponsored school-related event. The Court noted, however, that such factors would not amount to an Establishment Clause violation if the government had opened a forum for student speech on an indiscriminate basis, such as was the case in Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, 515 U.S. 819 (1995). 530 U.S. at 302.
In Rosenberger, the Court held that a student group that qualified for access to printing service funding on religion neutral criteria may not be discriminated against based on the religious viewpoint expressed in the publication to be printed. However, in Santa Fe the Court held that the school district's policy differed from the forum for student speech opened in Rosenberger, because it lacked indiscriminate access. Id. at 303. In Santa Fe, the school only permitted "one student, the same student for the entire season, to give the invocation." Id. Although these facts alone might not negate the finding of a forum opened for private student speech, the school's policy also put the student's speech access to a majoritarian vote, ensuring that minority voices would never prevail. Id. at 304. This election was distinguishable from other elections, such as elections for a prom king or queen, because under the school district's dual election system, the speaker was elected in a second election after the majority's initial determination to have an invocation or message delivered. Moreover, the school district's policy in Santa Fe confined the content and topic of the student's speech, id. at 303, requiring the speech to solemnize the event, promote good sportsmanship and student safety, and establish an appropriate competitive environment, id. at 298 n.6.
Reviewing the failings of the school district's policy, the Court recalled that such "'selective access does not transform government property into a public forum.'" Id. at 303 (quoting Perry Educ. Ass'n v. Perry Local Educator's Ass'n., 460 U.S. 37, 47 (1983)). The Court also held later in its opinion that the dual election system, particularly in light of the school district's prior history of school-sponsored prayer, encouraged divisiveness along religious lines. Id. at 311. Thus, the dual election system "[did] not insulate the school from the coercive element of the final message." Id. at 310. The District chose to hold the election, and thus, there was no real student choice in the matter. Id.
2. Actual and Perceived Government Endorsement through Control
Under the Supreme Court's Establishment Clause jurisprudence, federal courts will consider whether the level of control over the relevant speech exerted by government indicates that government has actually endorsed religious speech or could be perceived by an objective observer as endorsing religious speech. One relevant question asks "'whether an objective observer acquainted with the text, legislative history, and implementation of the statute [or policy, or practice], would perceive it as a state endorsement of prayer in public schools.'" See id. at 308 (quoting Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38, 73, 76 (1992) (O'Connor, J., concurring in judgment)).
In Santa Fe, the Supreme Court found both an actual and perceived endorsement of religion as a result of the school district's level of involvement through its policy. 530 U.S. at 305.For example, the school board explicitly chose to permit students to deliver a brief invocation or message. Id. at 306. Also, the latest revision of the school district's prior policies set in place a dual election method, requiring that elections be conducted by the high school student council "'upon the advice and direction of the high school principal.'" Id. Further, the speech had to be "'consistent with the goals and purposes of th[e] policy,' which [were] 'to solemnize the event, to promote good sportsmanship and student safety, and to establish the appropriate environment for the competition.'" Id. at 306. The Court found that the school district "invite[d] and encourage[d] religious messages" within the policy text. Id. at 306. The policy used the word "invocation" (meaning, "an appeal for divine assistance") and any "message" would necessarily have to "solemnize" the event, which most likely would require a religious message. This was particularly true because Santa Fe's students would consider and understand that the District's prior policies had included the word "prayer." Id. at 306-07.
Even beyond the policy's text, the Supreme Court held that the school district in Santa Fe violated the Establishment Clause through the pre-game ceremony setting; the Court held that objective students would "unquestionably perceive the inevitable pregame prayer" as stamped with the school's seal of approval. Id. at 308. For example, the Court considered the audience, the delivery mechanism, and surrounding indicia containing the school's logo. The invocation or message would be delivered to an assembly gathered for the purpose of a regularly scheduled, school-sponsored function, conducted on school property. Id. at 307. Additionally, the invocation and/or message would be broadcast over the school's public address system which remained under the school's control. Id. at 307. Further, school sporting event tradition normally boasts team members, cheerleaders, and band members dressed in school uniforms bearing the school's name and mascot; the school's name and mascot usually adorn the playing field, banners, and flags as well. Id. at 307-08.
3. Deference to Government's Stated Secular Purpose
Generally, the Court will accord deference to government's stated secular purpose behind an "arguably religious policy." Id. at 308. With regard to the school district's policy in Santa Fe, however, the Court held that "invocations" are not necessary to foster solemnity at football games (or to foster free expression, promote good sportsmanship, or to establish a safe and appropriate environment for competition). Id. at 309. Additionally, the Court observed that even if solemnity at a football game were appropriate, solemnity may not be constitutionally fostered through school-sponsored prayer. Id. The Court also surmised that it could not surmise a message that would "be both appropriately 'solemnizing' under the district's policy and yet non-religious." Id. The Court, however, found even more telling the school district's historically regular practice permitting student-led prayer during athletic events, together with the school's failure to hold a new election after amending its policy for the final time. Id. at 309. On final revision, the word "prayer" was removed and replaced with the words "messages," "statements," and "invocations." Id. at 297-98. This policy change (without any new election) indicated to the Court that the school district specifically intended to preserve its prayer practice before football games. Id. at 309. Thus, even if a school's policy states a non-religious purpose on its face, under the Supreme Court's Establishment Clause jurisprudence, a court may look behind the text to determine whether a religious purpose was the true reason for enactment.
4. Social Coercion by Government
Finally, the Court in Santa Fe brushed aside any argument that no coercion could have taken place at a football game because such events are extracurricular, and thus voluntary. The Court disagreed that attendance at a football game would be voluntary for some students—for example, cheerleaders, band members, and team members who are required to attend (and some for class credit). Id. at 311. Additionally, some students may feel social pressure to attend extra-curricular events. Id. at 311-12. Thus, even if attendance were purely voluntary, the Court held that the prayer would still have the impermissible effect of coercing those present to participate in an act of worship, and social pressure may not be used indirectly to do what the school cannot do directly. Id. at 312.
Although the ACLJ does not necessarily agree that the Court came to all the correct conclusions in Lee and Santa Fe, the decisions stand nevertheless. After the Court's decision in Santa Fe, please understand that public school officials and courts in the various jurisdictions will likely view prayer during extra-curricular sporting events with caution, taking care to avoid Establishment Clause violations. However, students and their parents or guardians should be aware that public schools may open forums for student speech, even inadvertently through practice. While we again caution you that this memo is for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice or representation by the ACLJ, please allow us to encourage you to contact us immediately should a question arise regarding student speech rights during extra-curricular events, or otherwise. For example, should a public school open a forum for student speech, whether by policy or practice, a student may have the right to express his religious viewpoint on an equal basis with other speakers.

Happy Sunday! Football has begun and summer seems to be winding down. Had an amazing weekend at the lake….it was seriously the best weather you could imagine…80s and sunny with a nice breeze. Fucking perfect! I spent most of it on the boat…drinking some beer and swimming with the dogs. Went golfing one day as well. Nothing too major, just a nice low key weekend. I managed to workout 3 out of the 4 mornings which made me happy.
I probably won't get a chance to go back there until next summer : ( I'd love to take a fall weekend but my fall is pretty busy so we'll see if it's manageable. I leave on Tuesday to go back to Miami to finish my shoot from a few weeks ago. Looking forward to it!!
So you guys all know about my website, www.maximummaggie.com. It's almost 4 years old, which I am very proud of! And that also means that there is 4 years of hot sexy content inside the members area! LOTS of pics and video to see! There are thousands of other models with websites but one thing that many of them don't have that I do….besides huge natural tits…is a candid section. It's one of my favorite parts of the site. I love having a place to post candid galleries from my vacations or just me hanging out with the dogs. I think it really gives you a chance to get to know me, my fun loving personality really shines through in these photos and videos. Also, I post behind the scene galleries of my photo shoots! The latest one is of me and Brianna Jordan shooting in Ken Marcus's dungeon in Hollywood…now that's something you can't see every day! You'll soon learn that I'm a silly, goofy chick who loves to have a good time and be sexy : ) What more could you ask for? ; )
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last days of summer! I'll blog again when I return from Miami and let you know how everything went! Love you!
Good morning! I'm saying this after a shitty night of sleep : ( I hate it when that happens because it truly puts a damper on my day. All the coffee in the world can't help me! But hey, at least I woke up today, right?!
So I did go down to Miami. However my trip was cut short, I was only there for two days instead of six. Long story but there's some crazy crap going on in the biz right now so I am going back down there in a couple of weeks after it's all cleared up. I spent all of Monday flying, shot all day Tuesday, and then was back on the plane Wednesday morning. That shit wiped me out! I got home Wednesday evening and I was just exhausted. The traveling does it to me more than anything else, just the layovers and the waiting around. So it took me a couple of days to recover from that. I was sort of glad to be back early because I needed to get ahead on my editing for my website content and it allowed me to do that. Tomorrow evening, I'm headed back up to the lake for Labor Day weekend…I seriously have no idea how it's Labor Day already! The summer FLEW by, I think with having my mom in the hospital all through July really made it seem almost nonexistent. But this is my favorite time of year, the end of summer and the start of autumn. The weather is more my speed, I hate sweating!
If you guys haven't seen my live on my webcam, you're really missing out! I say this because it really gives you a chance to see my personality and get to know me. I love being able to interact with my fans from all over the world and it's amazing seeing how many people out there support me. And then we can follow each other on twitter and chat even more : ) Of course, I don't only like to chat on cam..hehehe..of course I get naughty and freaky too! I'll be online later today and I have a show at 9PM EST that's free for website members! www.maggiegreen.cammodels.com Don't miss me!
I'm already pumped about seeing my girl Brianna Jordan in Vegas! It's coming up soon..in October : ) You have no idea how crazy we'll get! I love her to death, she's become one of my best friends : ) It's not every day that you meet someone who you click with on that level, especially when you're in this business. Anyways, can't wait! And then in 70 days I'll be in freaking Hawaii!!
Here are some pics…a couple of the lake that I go to and some of me and Brianna as well as a few others. You don't wanna miss Friday's video update where Brianna keeps me in a dog cage! Woof! LOL! Peace guys!
Hey peeps, what's up? So last time I blogged I was getting ready to go up to the lake for my birthday weekend. It was fabulous! Probably one of the best birthdays I've ever had. And don't ask how old I am, I'm in my 30s and we can just leave it at that : ) I don't really mind getting older unlike many women do, I have to say I feel more confident and happier than I ever have before. The main thing that sucks is the little aches and pains. My elbow has been bothering me for weeks, same with my foot due to a previous injury. And my knees sucks too. Sometimes everything hurts at once and I feel like a failure at the gym. Ah well, have to deal with it!
My birthday weekend was totally about relaxing with my dogs and family. I was so happy to be spending time with my mom so that was a present in itself. The weather was pretty perfect, warm, sunny and breezy which makes for a picturesque lake weekend. I didn't water ski this time because our boat is having problems but I did spend most of my birthday in the lake, floating on a raft and drinking beer with my cousins. I also got to the gym every single morning on my vacation which I am extremely proud of. I ate some good food…fresh local fish, fruits and veggies from the farmers market and Michigan wine. Ahhh..perfection! Didn't want to come home but all good things must come to an end and hopefully I'm going back up there for Labor Day weekend.
Got some travel plans coming up…some for work and some for fun. I leave for Miami next week to shoot for Score, one of my favorite companies to work with. They kick ass. I'll be there all week and then I'm home, hopefully for the week and then back to the lake. Then in October, I am going to visit my girl Brianna Jordan in Vegas! This time for FUN!! I'll shoot some content for my site while I am there but no other work will be done…just eating, drinking and having a blast : ) And then a few weeks later, I finally get to go back to paradise…Hawaii! I am SO excited about this! It's been such a weird year, some very high highs and some very low lows. But this is definitely a high! And during all this, I might be going to NYC for some shoots. Busy lady!
I'm going to leave you with some pics from my bday weekend and some new stuff from the site. Don't miss me LIVE on cam, most days of the week at about 4PM EST. http://maggiegreen.cammodels.com
Wow! It's been WAY too long since I've blogged and I'm sorry about that!! I hate it when time just sort of slips by. As usual, I've been really busy.
If you follow me on twitter ( and if you don't then why not? twitter.com/maximummaggie), then you know that my mother was in the hospital again. There was a problem with her LVAD and the doctors were pretty sure there was a blood clot…not good. However, things weren't at a critical point so they tried to break up the clot with various blood thinners and other meds. A couple of weeks went by without improvement. Then overnight, things got worse and the doctors decided to do surgery and put in a new LVAD….which is a pump in her heart that actually functions for part of it. It was a long surgery…8 hours…and while everyone was confident that she'd be fine, you just never know. That surgery went well but then there was a build up of fluid in her leg so they had to take her back in and open her leg up to drain it. Thankfully she is much stronger than she was this winter when she was very sick so she is healing well and was up and walking a couple of days post surgery. My poor Mom had had 4 major surgeries in the last 6 months. They finally released her Saturday and she's exhausted. Having someone in the hospital is very draining, even though she was feeling fine the entire time, it mentally takes a toll on everyone involved. I really hope that things stay quiet from now on and she can go back to getting on with her life. But the bottom line is that she will always have health problems, that's just what happens when your heart doesn't function properly. There is talk of a transplant but that's a whole different story entirely and I'm not sure if that will ever happen. So for now, she's doing well, she needs her rest but she's home and can heal.
I was supposed to attend Adultcon in Los Angeles this past weekend but I didn't stay because of my mom. I did have to fly out there and do some shoots, however. I shot a ton of content for maximummaggie.com, I am very excited for it all to be released and for you to see the hot pics and vids I made just for you…my kick ass fans! Traveling to LA is brutal for me…the time difference and the traffic kills me! The first day I was there, I shot with my bestie Brianna Jordan at a sweet house in porn valley : ) We had two photographers this time so we really banged it out…pun intended : )
Those are just a select few pics of some of the sets that I did! Don't you love me as Indiana Jones!
The next day, we were absolutely exhausted so we had scheduled ourselves to sleep in a bit. Then we went to shoot with Cherie DeVille, a very sexy blonde with an amazing body…an ass to die for! Brianna had shot with her before but I had never met her and she was super sweet, a great chick to shoot with. Our scene was very sensual and passionate and I enjoyed it…to say the least! We also shot a g/g/g set in the pool! So sexy and amazing!
After we finished, Brianna and I had one last dinner together and she went back to Vegas while I switched hotels to be closer to the airport. I can't explain how tired I was and I had to be at 6AM the next morning for my last shoot. The shoot was down town and I knew with traffic it could take me awhile to get where I was going. I was in bed and asleep before my head hit the pillow!
I was really excited for this shoot because it was in an interesting studio and I knew there was opportunity to get some different content. Everything went as planned…even better as planned! After I was done, I was too tired to do much of anything so I grabbed a salad at Whole Foods and some beer and checked in for the night. I slept over 10 hours! Which was awesome because I needed it for the long travel day ahead. I finally got home at 11:30 PM and my dogs were thrilled to see my smiling face : ) I spent all weekend trying to get back to normal, the jet lag got to me more than usual this time.
I am also going to leave you with some photos from recent site updates. I am supposed to go up to the lake this week so I have to finish unpacking and get packed again….I hate doing that! My birthday is August 4th and I always like to be there for it, what a perfect place to celebrate : ) So I will be sure to have lots of pics for you when I come back!
Well, I know it's not officially summer yet but to me, it starts with my first trip up to the lake over Memorial Day weekend. And this year it was an ultra special trip for two reasons….it was Ziggy's first trip there and my mom's first trip anywhere after almost dying this winter. Needless to say I was very anxious and excited! Ziggy is about 2 years old but he's got the energy of a puppy and LOVES to be outside so I knew he was going to go crazy at the lake. He freaking LOVED it, just like I thought he would : ) He even swam and seemed to really enjoy the water. But given that he's a mix of Lab, Cocker Spaniel, Curly Coated Retriever and Australian Terrier (to name a few, I had a DNA test done on him), I figured he'd be a water dog. Had a great trip but did a lot of work helping my mom getting the house in order. It's a summer home so we close it down for the winter and there's quite a bit involved getting it ready for the season. More than I thought but with my mom not able to do as much, we had to help out more than ever and learn a lot. It was tiring but also relaxing…the weather was decent…not the best but I've had much worse for Memorial Day. Basically I spent my time working, reading, playing with the dogs, and of course I had to have some ice cold beer on the boat…wouldn't be a proper lake trip without that! Even managed to get a couple of workouts in at a local gym, which I plan on joining for the summer. I refuse to let myself slack off too much this summer…I mean a little bit is OK but it can't be outta control : ) So I'm back this week and then next weekend going back up to the lake once again…this is how summer is for me, lots of back and forth…could be worse, right?
Also, I'll have some big news pretty soon but I can give you a sneak peek! In August, you'll be able to enter a contest to WIN a TRIP to LAS VEGAS to party with Brianna Jordan and myself! More details coming soon but it's through http://www.cumonlive.com so make sure to check it out. If you don't already know, Brianna is my bestie and we absolutely love to have fun so this is going to be an incredible experience for a lucky fan!

Ok, time to make some lunch. Talk to you soon!!
So I've been back for a little over a week from my cruise. OMG…what an AMAZING trip it was! I have to say that I didn't really have too many expectations because I hadn't been on a cruise in about 20 years and I also didn't care too much about anything except unwinding and relaxing which I knew I could do anywhere. Everything ended up being fantastic, I can't think of anything I would change except the fact that my stomach was pissed off some of the time from too much booze….my own fault, hehehe. I don't drink very much anymore and hardly ever drink hard alcohol so my system didn't enjoy it. But I had such a wonderful time that I sucked it up and downed Pepto and ginger pills for a couple of days.
The ship set sail out of Miami and I could hardly wait to get on board. As soon as we did, we put our stuff in our cabin and went up to the Lido deck for cocktails and people watching. I got a Mai Tai and the bartender made it STONG. Nice buzz from that.
It was amazing to watch Miami disappear in the distance as we headed out to sea. The sun was shining and the breeze was perfect so we just enjoyed the view, and more drinks, for quite sometime. I won't bore you with every detail but basically we had dinner and then listened to some live music in one of the lounges while drinking wine. I had told myself I wouldn't drink too much on the first day but that idea went out the window…hahaha…big surprise there. But I had some steam to blow off! It's been a rough year!
The next day I was a little hung over but not too bad. We had a full day at sea and it was another lovely day. Spent hours in the sun and had a couple of fruity cocktails…I never drink those things but I feel compelled to when on vacation. I started to finally feel relaxed, I think I forgot what it felt like. The sun got to be too much so I went for a stroll around the ship and gambled a little. Won $25 playing roulette…woohoo! After dinner we went to see a comedy show which was hilarious and then we hit the sing along piano bar for awhile before calling it a night. Had to be up in the morning to hang out in Jamaica!
I was excited for the day in Jamaica..we got a day pass to an all inclusive resort to spend the day by the pool and on the beach. Drinks and food were included but my stomach was not pleased so I only had one adult beverage. The jerk chicken was yummy! The weather was once again perfect and this was just the lazy day I had hoped for. But all of that laziness in the sun made me so sleepy so I had to take a nap when we got back on the ship.
The following day we went to Grand Cayman, which I was really excited about. I had never been there before and was dying to snorkel with the stingrays at Stingray Sandbar. It's a sandbar that the fishermen used to come to to clean their fish and the rays learned to hang around for scraps of food. 50 years later, they are very docile and tame but it's still their natural habitat, it's not an exhibit or something like that. The guide told us how to act in the water with them and then we got to pet them, play with them, hold them and even feed them squid! Kissing them is good luck so I had to do that of course! After we finished that, we went to Rum Point beach for awhile which was just idyllic and looked like a postcard. Such an unforgettable day!
After the long day in the sun, I once again needed a nap! The next day was another sea day and the last one of the cruise. I was happy to spend it doing a whole lot of nothing…reading, resting, my stomach finally felt normal so I drank some cold beers…no more fruity sweet drinks for me, I think that's what pissed my stomach off. One thing about the cruise was the fabulous people watching : ) That was one of my favorite parts. We also met some really cool people who I am already keeping in touch with. Didn't expect to make friend on vacation : )
So now it's back to reality. But this trip was exactly what I needed and left me refreshed and recharged. I've already been back to my normal gym schedule, I did gain a few pounds but only have one left to lose. It did make me realize how much I miss traveling to exotic places and I am already planning the next trip! But tomorrow I am leaving to head to the lake house…it will be Ziggy's first time up there and that dog is gonna go bananas!
All the pics from the trip are going to be on the site very soon so don't miss them! Thanks for reading…love you guys so much!

May is here which means it's almost gardening time! I enjoy gardening but am quite new at it, I learned a lot last year so I am looking forward to getting some new flowers and plants that i know will do well in my yard. As long as the dogs don't trample them that is! I've been pulling weeds and getting stuff prepped so when I come back from vacation, I can get planting : )
And I leave in 2 DAYS for my cruise!! I can't express enough how much I NEED this vacation! You guys know from my blog and twitter how difficult this year has been for me so far, it's literally been the most challenging and trying time of my life. So the fact that I get to get away from it all for a week is pure bliss to me! Which means my next blog will be full of pics from the Caribbean and of course some bikini pics too : ) All the photos will be in the members area of the website so you don't want to miss that! I'm telling you, I don't care about anything…the weather, the food, nothing but resting and relaxing and just taking time to breathe. So I know already that it's going to be a great trip!
I'm feeling better and back in the gym full swing this week…whew it's hard when you miss! But I'm gritting my teeth and reaching down deep, I don't give up and I certainly don't wimp out. I'm a tough chick in every sense of the word and I'm proving that to myself more and more. I love being physically strong, it gives me a high like nothing else can. When I return from the cruise, I want to refocus on building more upper body strength.
I'm leaving you with some photos…some candids of me and some from recent site updates. And make sure to play with me on http://maggiegreen.cammodels.com XOXOXOXO
Ugh. So for the past few weeks I haven't felt well. It's been on and off, I have the flu and just haven't let myself rest enough to fully recover. Sigh. Since I am leaving for my cruise next week, I am following the doctors orders and resting up. No gym for a few days and that kills me! I've been downing Advil to mask the body aches and working out like usual but I think I need to chill out for a few days. I've been way sicker in my life which is why it's so hard for me to behave myself and get some rest but hey, I want to enjoy that cruise to it's fullest potential! I literally rested all day yesterday except for my trip to the doctor, no photo editing, nada. TV and sleep. I feel better today but not back to normal and it's tempting to go to the gym but I'm going to be a good girl. I just hate the feeling of being gone from the gym and then coming back and feeling the effects of missing workouts. I hate having to build everything back up. But I guess this is what they call life, you can't plan everything. Things are going to happen and it's more about how you bounce back after being down and out. I know for a fact that this will not be a downward spiral into becoming a couch potato. I will get back on track and be off my game for a couple of weeks but then I'll be right where I was and continue from there. I also plan to workout on my vacation…in the past when I go somewhere I always bring my workout gear and it sits in my suitcase (except when I'm in Vegas with Brianna, she keeps me motivated! ). But this time will be different! I don't plan on being as hardcore as I normally am but I have to get some activity in, especially after missing the gym lately.
Anyway, enough about that! Really looking forward to a proper vacation! As you guys know, I go to the lake house quite a bit in the summer but there's always family around and to me, it's not a real vacation. Hahaha I think you all know what I mean. So this will be nice : ) Gonna miss the dogs though! But also looking forward to sleeping in since I won't have to be up so early to feed them. Everyone needs a break from real life once and awhile!
Haven't been on webcam as much lately and I apologize for that. I miss it! I love interacting with my fans! But if I'm not on, there's always tons of hot girls to have fun with! http://maggiegreen.cammodels.com
I'm going to leave you with a couple of pics from a recent site update! Love you! XOXO
It's been a few weeks since my last blog and it only feels like it's been a few days! Where is the time going lately? I seriously have no idea! It's crazy how fast the days are passing. I guess that's what happens when you're insanely busy.
When I last wrote, my mom had just came home from the hospital. I am very pleased to report that she is doing very well and the doctors are all extremely pleased with her progress : ) I am so thankful, I can't even begin to describe it. It's been a very tough winter for me and with spring here, I feel a huge breath of fresh air and a new beginning so to speak! My mom still needs a lot of help but she's improving every week and it's amazing to see how strong and resilient she is. I hope I am cut from the same mold when it comes to toughness!
I've been trying to get back into my normal routine and it's a relief but it's also a little more difficult than I anticipated. I don't know why but now that I have more time on my hands, I almost don't know what to do! It's like I don't have to rush around constantly like a chicken with their head cut off and I almost forgot what it felt like to be able to turn on the TV and just veg out for a couple of hours.. I almost feel guilty doing it! But I know I can take a step back from my family and relax a little bit and it will get easier with time. I love my family but I've spent far too much time around them in the past few months! We all know how family can bring out the best..and worst…in us. So I am keeping up with my gym schedule which has been my saving grace. Last week I wasn't feeling 100% so I backed off a bit but I am back in the game as of today and ready for new challenges. I never knew just how beneficial exercise is to the human body…obviously in a physical way but also in a mental and emotional way. I truly believe that my dedication to fitness and healthy eating has kept me healthy during all of the stress and sleepless nights this winter. Every I knew was getting sick left and right and I remained healthy : )
Haven't been shooting lately but that's gotta change soon! I miss it! Here are some photos from recent site updates…this week's a g/g/g orgy with myself, Brianna and Vanilla DeVille! Don't miss it!
Have a great week!
The big news…my mom came home from the hospital yesterday!!! After 70 days, she's finally home!! I can't express how relieved, happy and overwhelmed with emotions I am! Things are going to be very different for her and for my family, she has some limitations and is on a portable life support device called an LVAD. It's a pump inside of her that pumps her heart since it doesn't work properly. read my past blog entries to learn more if you want : ) But a couple of months ago I wasn't sure if I would still have a mom so you can imagine how elated I am that she's alive!!
I will still have to help her and my family quite a bit but the days at the hospital are over. I am still trying to get used to the idea that I don't have to go there every day! I am starting to get my life back and it feels amazing! I started by having the entire house cleaned top to bottom…it was pretty dirty and messy but now it's immaculate and what a refreshing feeling!! I tried to keep up with some of the house work but it was near impossible with all of thing other things that I had to do while my mom was in the hospital. What a relief!
Also, I am going on a Caribbean cruise in May! SO excited for that! I can't wait to lounge by the pool, sip tropical drinks and rest on the beach. Oh and snorkel and stuff too! So finally things are looking up for me and it's about time, there's only so much shit you can take at once!
Here are some pics from recent web site updates, hope you enjoy!!! XOXO

Assistive Technology
Posted By sbaletsa On June 22, 2009 @ 3:42 pm In | No Comments
Students use assistive technology for many reasons: increased self-reliance, the ability to work more independently, improvement in self-esteem, and better grades!
Please contact the Learning Accommodations Center at 978-556-3654 to learn more about Assistive Technology Services and whether you may be eligible to benefit from this type of support.
Q: What is Assistive Technology?
A: Assistive technology is any software, hardware, equipment, or portable device that helps to enable the user to fully participate in an activity. (For example; a student with low-vision is able to see a computer screen with magnification software. Or a student with a spelling disability may be eligible to use a portable spell checker.)
Q: How do I know that Assistive Technology may be beneficial to me?
A: First, qualified professionals here at the college review your documentation. Then an informal technical assessment is completed to help match technology to your needs. Otherwise; we recommend that you work with a community resource for a comprehensive Assistive Technology Evaluation. (I.e. Massachusetts Rehabilitation, or Commission for the Blind, etc.)
Q: Will anyone show me how to use it?
A: Yes, once a match has been determined, training sessions can be scheduled at the Learning Accommodations Center.
Q: How long will I need to train?
A: The training time for different assistive technology varies. Some devices or software requires only 2 to 3 training sessions, while others may require weekly sessions for a few months before you are comfortable using the technology independently. It also depends on your skill level at the beginning of the training sessions.
And much more!
Available Assistive Technology may vary each semester.
