Velvet Rose
Pornstar Profile, Date added: 27 Jun 2002
Velvet Rose is an African American pornstar who was born in McKinney, Texas. She has black hair and brown eyes and was born under the astrological star sign of Gemini. Her height is measured at 5 feet 4 inches and she weighs about 121 pounds. Her body measurements are 34B-25-36 and every inch is all natural too. There are no tattoos anywhere on her body but she does have a few piercings. Her tongue, nipples, navel and clit all have piercings to them. She has usually been credited with the correct stage name but there have been times when they just use the name Velvet. There are those that don't have her listed as African American or black because she has very light skin. Sometimes referred to as white or Latina, she doesn't mind the mistakes but always makes it a point to mention that she is in fact black.
Her career in porn movies started out in the year 2002 when she was still in her early twenties. During her school years she spent some time studying in Germany where she was a foreign exchange student. It was also while living in Germany that she began exotic dancing and escorting on the side to earn some extra money. Eventually she began dancing in clubs in countries like Switzerland, Holland, Norway, Iceland, Japan, Canada and Guam. After about four years living in Germany she moved to Hollywood, California where she began pursuing her career in adult films. Shortly after beginning her career she had already signed a performing contract with Heatwave Entertainment for whom she made a few films. The contract would end only a few months later however in early 2003. Velvet cites their differing views on the direction of her career as the reason for the early split.
One of her first porn movies was "Beach Bunnies" and it was produced by Heatwave Entertainment and directed by Stiv Gators. Her scene takes place outdoors on the beach where she appears in a sexy bikini along with Mark Cummings. They begin to make out and soon he has her tits in his hands and mouth and his finger inside of her pussy. She responds to him with a nice looking blowjob and handjob while he continues to finger bang her pussy. He penetrates her pussy while she's lying on her back and then while she's on her hands and knees. At the end of the scene he gives her a big facial cumshot that she manages to completely lick clean from his hard dick.
During an interview that she did on camera she mentioned how during a lot of her career she was just working and not thinking about much else. At first she never liked the idea of working webcams or anything like that in between movie shoots. In her opinion they were like virtual strip clubs and she didn't want to be bothered with people asking her for freebies as she calls it. Later on though she learned that it was much more in her own control than she had thought and was keen on the idea of doing some live cam shows. Besides in her opinion a lot of people were making money whenever she performed in a movie so doing a cam show would be a chance for her to control any income on her own. She also had some thoughts about making her own website which was not very long lived as it turned out.
Velvet talks about how hard but exciting it was for her to be a foreign exchange student. The experience of going to school and interacting with students her own age was the thrilling part but the host families that she stayed with made it very awkward to say the least. The first family that she stayed with was always arguing and often took it out on her too. When she was finally moved to a second family, there were serious issues there too. The third and final family she stayed with was great and the father of the house was even the towns mayor. Unfortunately by the time she was placed with that good family there were only five weeks left in her school year. She returned to America and then decided that she wanted to try to become an interpreter and live in Germany full time as an adult. In order to do that she attended a school for foreigners in Germany for 1 year and while waiting for her first college semester to begin, she started dancing in clubs.
Her first idea was to work as a waitress for about 50 dollars a day but she claims they cheated her and only paid 25 so she quit and took up dancing. The very first time that she was on stage she had no idea what to do and the club fired her. Not to be dissuaded so easily though she kept going back and perfecting a really sexy strip routine once she learned how. It took some time to learn that the girls who were making all the money weren't doing big makeup and costumes, they were just teasing and turning on the men in the club. So by the time Velvet's college classes were starting up, she was being invited to go on a exotic dance tour across Europe. That's why she quit school after only a week and a day and never looked back.
Velvet Rose worked as an active pornstar until 2012 and during her career appeared in more than 92 movies. One of her most recent films is the 2012 release of "Big-Um-Fat Black Freaks 10" from Evasive Angles. In 2003 Velvet was nominated for the XRCO award for Unsung Siren. Then in 2005 at the AVN award nominations, she was up for a Best Solo Sex Scene award for her performance in "Rub the Muff 9" which was produced by Rain Productions.

Asheville is plugging into electronic music this weekend with a two-day festival of concerts and workshops at the historic downtown Masonic Temple.
The Asheville Electro-Music Festival, May 17 and 18, looks to draw a couple hundred fans, organizer Greg Waltzer said.
Unlike this fall's big Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit, this weekend's festival is more about sharing electronic sounds with the community, said Waltzer, who plays synthesizer and flute. ...

Any 6.0 owners with HG test experience?
So I have made a psi tester and ran in cab. Released pressure to install and then started up the road at 160 degrees with oil never going over 12 degrees hotter than coolant. The guage didn't move till a few minutes of normal driving and was barely moving. As soon as I started getting on it and gaining boost up at highway speeds it gradually just climbed to 17 psi where then it stopped and I was unable to detect further cause of the degas cap. The reason I tested was cause my cap was having blow by. People told me to replace the cap and I had one on the way but I couldn't wait since I could put together this test kit at local auto parts store within 20 minutes and 20 dollars later. The egr and oil cooler were replaced 25,000 miles ago. The former owner I suppose had issues at that point with over heating. Hmmm, Did he blow a head gasket then? Ford wanted to go in replace this then tell him he had gasket leak later? He sold the vehicle to his nephew and now after 20,000 miles his nephew sold it to me. I had ford do the degrees temp test before I bough the vehicle but obviuosly that wasn't enough. At this point I'm thinking this guy got me. Does this sound like head gaskets to you all? Again temperatures never go over 12 degrees on oil but most of the time with normal driving stay 8 to 10. I haven't had any issues with overheating but tested since I see blow by on the degas cap. Please any further advice or thoughts would be helpful. I'm guessing head gaskets but would like to be sure prior to spending thousands. Next question is how bad is it to baby it while its like this? Am I hurting it worse? Thanks in advance. I"m new to this forum but have read so many valuable threads.
In process of repairing a 6.0 with blow gaskets. It built 10+ psi of pressure within 5 minutes of starting after sitting overnight. Also smoking pretty good. I would suspect the cap.
I would try a cap first, as 1 psi over cap pressure as measured is well within the possible inaccuracy of your gauge. I've seen the degas bottles themselves become distorted at the flange, causing venting issues as well. You can use a sanding block and fine paper to check the flange. Use a magic marker to mark the sealing area, then lightly sand. Low spots will still have marker on them after a light sand, high spots will be bare plastic.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) that is often progressive and has a poor prognosis [1]. In a retrospective study of 619 patients with SSc, 40 percent of patients had a restrictive ventilatory defect (suggesting interstitial lung disease, ILD) either alone or in combination with pulmonary arterial hypertension [2]. Herein, we discuss the prognosis and treatment of SSc-associated ILD.
The clinical presentation and diagnosis of SSc lung disease and the treatment of SSc and SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension are discussed separately. (See "Clinical manifestations, evaluation, and diagnosis of interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)" and "Overview of pulmonary complications of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)" and "Overview of the treatment and prognosis of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) in adults" and "Pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma): Definition, classification, risk factors, screening, and prognosis".)
The term ILD is broadly used to describe a heterogeneous group of disorders that are classified together because of similar clinical, radiographic, physiologic, or pathologic manifestations.
In the vast majority of patients with SSc-associated ILD, the lung injury is characterized by a pattern termed nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) [3]. Histopathologically, NSIP is characterized by varying degrees of pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, with some forms being primarily inflammatory (cellular NSIP) and others primarily fibrotic (fibrotic NSIP). Most investigators believe that cellular NSIP is the early stage of fibrotic NSIP. Although NSIP may have significant fibrosis, it is usually of uniform temporality. Fibroblastic foci and honeycombing, if present, are rare. (See "Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias: Clinical manifestations and pathology", section on 'Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia'.)
In a minority of patients with SSc-associated ILD, the histopathologic pattern is that of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). This pattern is characterized by a non-uniform distribution of alternating zones of dense fibrosis, fibroblast foci, scant inflammation, normal lung, and honeycomb change.

Let's put a wrap on the 2007 Huron County Fair with this week's Roast and Toasts.
Toast the fair for another great run. The entertainment was great and the weather was beautiful. A special toast goes out to auctioneer G.A. Pickworth, who was honored for his more than 40 years of work at the fair with the livestock and other auctions. Pickworth was honored with the naming of the "Auctioneer G.A. Judging Pavilion." Congratulations for a job well done and an honor well deserved.
Roast the ATV races as Thursday night's races. We know boys will be boys, and some events are a little tougher than others, but this may have gone over the edge. Three competitors were injured and had to be taken away by ambulance. One had to be flown by helicopter to Toledo. You can bet the fair's insurance rates will take quite a hit on that one.
Toast all of the volunteers who donated thousands of hours to put on the event. From the fair directors to the volunteer fireman and everybody in between, it takes quite a team effort to pull it off. And toast all of the gate workers from the Norwalk Elks Club. They do it as a fundraiser for their club then turn around and use the money to fund all of their community projects.
Roast the swine-barn shutdown Friday morning. Other than the mishaps in the ATV races, this was the only real setback of the week. Fair officials did a fine job of jumping on the situation, but it was just a real downer for all of the youngsters who had pigs at the fair. The animals were still penned up this morning, and, hopefully, they will be released Tuesday and sent off to market.

'Aquaman' Star Jason Momoa on Zack Snyder's Jaw-Dropping Plan for the DC UniverseBritt Hayes January 27, 2015 @ 5:22 PM
Jason Momoa really is ideal casting for the role of 'Aquaman' hero Arthur Curry—he may not be blonde or have short hair or a clean-shaved, typical superhero look, but there's something about his essence and appeal that makes him the perfect candidate. Momoa just looks like he was born to play some sort of sea God. We weren't supposed to know about his casting in the film until 2016, but those beans were spilled a bit early, and now Momoa has opened up once again about his casting in the film, whether or not he'll change his hair for the part (he won't), and 'Batman vs. Superman' director Zack Snyder's exciting plans for the DC universe.

As billionaires go, Vinod Khosla would seem to be an unlikely villain for environmentalists. He donated more than $1 million to help re-elect President Barack Obama; $2 million for a 2006 initiative that sought to tax oil; and $1 million to kill an oil industry proposition that tried to roll back Assembly Bill 32, the law that is forcing the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Khosla Ventures' website describes its leader as "driven by the desire to make a positive impact through scaling new energy sources, achieving petroleum independence and promoting a pragmatic approach to the environment."
The Sand Hill Road venture capital firm's portfolio includes EcoMotors, which is "redefining how the world is powered"; Climate Corp., which "aims to help farmers around the world protect and improve their farming operations"; and LanzaTech, which "uses a novel biological approach to transform industrial carbon rich waste gases and residues into fuels and chemicals."
Still, if Khosla thought his past work might have given him a pass, he definitely was mistaken. He finds himself being vilified by environmentalists who accuse him of locking them out of a stretch of San Mateo County coastline.
In 2008, Khosla bought 53 acres south of Half Moon Bay for $32.5 million from a family that had held it since the early 1900s. It's known as Martins Beach.
Based on the pictures, it's a beautiful spot; there's a rock a short distance offshore that looks like a shark's tooth. The cove would be an ideal place for a family compound, though Khosla has not submitted development plans to that effect.
Billionaires do like coastal property, and some of them don't much like to share, as the less privileged people of Malibu not named Geffen, Katzenberg and Ellison have found.
San Mateo County officials annoyed Khosla in 2009, and he closed the gate, restricting access to the easement that leads to Martins Beach. Environmentalists responded by accusing him of denying them their rights granted by God and the California constitution to walk along the lovely cove.
The Surfrider Foundation, among others, sued to force him to let them get to the beach to ride the surf, and Sen. Jerry Hill, a San Mateo County Democrat, carried legislation that also would force open access. His Senate Bill 968 urges the state Lands Commission to negotiate with Khosla to provide access to Martins Beach and says, if negotiations fail, the commission would seek to buy the easement in an eminent domain action.
As happens when disputes spill into the Legislature and the courts, what is real becomes relative. But both sides agree that Khosla is raising a property rights issue that, in the right lawyers' hands, could end up before the Supreme Court of the United States.
