Genre: All-Sex
If the series does well for you -- and for whom hasn\'t it? -- stock up!
Another excellent entry in this popular series, PickUp Lines 37 has two outstanding scenes, but all are worth watching.
The first features blond Caroline being interrupted in her bath by Billy Glide, who proceeds to kiss her feet before chowing down on her pussy. A bit of horsie, some reverse cowgirl, and a facial finishes the pairing.
Another winner has Violet, looking a bit like a young Raquel Welsh, attempting to take Lexington Steele's huge member into her small snatch. It's obvious from the occasional wince during mish posish that he's a bit big for her, but she manages to take most of his shaft during her reverse cowgirl ride -- and smile.
Viewers also won't be disappointed by India's ride on Andrew Youngman's cock during the fourway opener, which ends in a splash to all three gals' faces.

This editorial is being written on Thursday. It's newspaper deadlines -- go figure. We bring this up for a reason, but more on that later. The subject of this piece is campaign contribution reporting -- specifically the deadlines for reporting.
State law requires a series of campaign finance reports from candidates running for office -- city, county or statewide. The reports must specifically include each campaign contribution taken since the last report, along with who the contributors are and, to some extent, who they work for. The reports must also contain details on the expenditures of that money.
It's a wonderful system in terms of tracking "the money trail" for individual candidates. And it's a tool that's as easily accessed by any citizen, as it is a newspaper such as The Record (go to www.sjcvotes.us to see for yourself).
The system and the law do have an "Achilles Heel" that irritates the heck out of newspaper people and allows candidates to potentially fudge their reports and mislead voters in an important way.
WITH A PRIMARY ELECTION coming up this Tuesday, the reporting deadline for campaign contributions was Friday. The idea here is to ensure that the public has a chance to see exactly who has been contributing to whom down the campaign stretch. And it is a common practice by contributors -- especially large ones -- to hold off giving the money until the last minute.
So, locally, all candidates must either post their contributions to our supervisor of elections' Web site, or fax them or postmark them in letter form by 5 p.m. Sept. 1. Problem is, if a candidate wanted to be sneaky, he or she could postmark the letter by 5 p.m. from Los Angeles or Gnarly Flats, Tenn.
This means the letter probably won't arrive at the local supervisor of elections' office until Monday -- which is a national holiday with no mail delivery: Or even Tuesday -- on the day of the election itself.
AND GOBS OF LAST-MINUTE campaign contributions could be passed along in the last reporting period without ever having been seen by the voters. This isn't a pie-in-the-sky scenario. Each campaign season "There are those who don't want their information out that quickly," says Supervisor of Elections Penny Halyburton.
So, back to the beginning of this editorial where you were wondering, "Why do I care what day this is being written," and rightly so. We won't know whose forms aren't in the hands of Halyburton and staff until tomorrow (for the one writing this piece) and two days ago (for those of you reading it).
But it's a pretty good bet that some candidates will play with the deadlines for reasons of their own. It seems odd that such a forthright system of campaign reporting could be hamstrung by such a small procedural glitch.
We'll ask the Legislature when it meets next spring to close the loophole. Or explain to us how these strange deadlines became the law -- and why they continue to be the law.

This is one of the best games of 2009. With new challenges and even in 3-D it' s even better. It's truly a thrill. I highly reccomend it to anyone who's looking for action and wanting to save Gotham City!!!! Dark Knight!
Grandson at that stage between "boy and teen", so this game was a good choice for him. Some very graphic action, but not enough to cause concern. This has been a hit since it was purchased as a surprise birthday gift. Actually, my grandson had not heard of this game but, his grandfather (age 70) did some research and found that this was a top-rated game. Good choice, good price.
My grandson was thrilled with this game. To me that means everything
My son loves it. He told me this was the best version of the game out there.
I bought this for my 16 year olds birthday, because that is what he ask for, and he loves the game and i am glad that i could get him something that he wanted and liked. In talking to him he says that it has good graphics and just an overall great game.
This is a great game got it for $10 brand new.. Great
My 14 year old loves this game
This is one of the best games out there. The 3D game part of it is cool too. They even have this cover as a 3D. Fun game I can't stop playing it. I hope that Batman Arkham City has a 3D on it too.
The game is pretty solid right out of the box. It has good graphics that cover every angle with no lag that is discernable to me. The story, while not the strongest out there, is pretty consistant. The characters are very vivid but somewhat two dimensional in this game, but really you get the game because of the action. The action and play hit it off pretty well. Constantly moving along the scenes are well done and there really aren't any cut-scenes that you aren't a part of.
I bought this game for my son and he loved it. He was most impressed with the 3-D effects. He said that Batman's cape looked like it was flipping right in front of your face!
My grandson loves the game!
Got this for my son and he loves it.
Love this game! One of the best I have ever played.
To play this game, you don't need the reflexes of a hyper-active 10-year-old. You do need to think sometimes. Also there's the moments of mindless violence when you pummel the lunatics and Blackgate prisoners. The boss fights are challenging, but winnable. I played the PC version first. The Xbox controls are easier and the action is smoother than even my quad-core PC with bad-to-the-bone video card.
Obviously I failed to read the review on this game the right way since my husband pointed out to me that it had poison ivy dressed in skin tight clothes throughout the game. I returned it right away for a refund as soon as it was delivered. Glad that he mentioned that before we gave it as a gift to our boys.
Arkham Asylum is an awesome game, I'd played Arkham City first (the sequel to this one) but I wanted to see where it all started, and I don't regret that. After you finish this one, try Arkham City, same intensity in the gameplay but with a lot of improvements in the details.
I ordered a playstation 3, and a game option was Batman Arkham AAsylum for XBOX 360. It not only doesn't work on a Playstation, it never should have been offered as an option to select, as it for the wrong console.
I got this game in a buy two get one free bundle. So basically I spent 10 dollars a game. Best Value i could ask for. This is the Game of the Year edition and it blows my mind. Should have bought it sooner but I'm glad i waited for the fantastic deal.
This game was one I chose in my Xbox bundle (because Fallout 3 was sold out) and I DO NOT regret it.. This is an amazing game. Not too complicated to figure out which was really appealing. I love this game and am going to definitely replay it :)
I am sure he is going to love this game. This is the game he has been asking for since his Birthday.

Contributions of the Aztecs
|Aztec cosmogram in the pre-Hispanic Codex Fejérváry-Mayer - the fire god Xiuhtecuhtli is in the center.
The Aztec Civilization contributed a lot to modern day society. Here I am going to talk about several different Aztec contributions to modern day society.
You might not think of this as being an Aztec contribution but the Aztec empire was one of the first to have mandatory education for everyone. In the years ahead, education was going to become more and more important around the world - but the people of the Aztec empire were on the cutting edge. Many countries had education for the upper classes, but for the Aztec, education was important no matter what your gender, rank or station.
|Mandatory Education
Another contribution to modern day society is the use of antispasmodic medicine- medicine to prevent muscle spasms, and relax muscles, may have helped in surgeries. An example of this is the Passion flower, which still grows in Mexico today. It is used as an herbal remedy, believed to help with insomnia, epilepsy, and high blood pressure.
|Blue Passion Flower (Passiflora caerulea)
You might remember that the Aztec were a warlike society, but throughout their warings, this civilization developed a sophisticated system of trade, agriculture, and astronomy. The Aztec introduced the concept of 'terraced' field agriculture, which were drought free and produced as many as 7 crops/year including two corn crops.
|Chinampa Cultivation
Above all contributions, the main Aztec contribution was a system of communications between the conquered cities. In Mesoamerica, without the help of draft animals for transport (nor, as a result, wheeled vehicles) these roads were mostly traveled by foot. Usually these roads were maintained by tribute, and travelers, had a place to rest and eat, and even a latrine to use at regular intervals, roughly every 10 to 15 kilometers (6 to 9 mi). (Like our rest stops on Interstates)

Utah Jazz: Unlike rowdy Kings fans, Jazz happy to get out of Sacramento after 120-109 blowout
"Heck No. We Won't Go."
"Cowbell Kingdom Forever."
"Our City Our Kings. Our Town Our Team."
"If the Kings stay, I'll mow everybody's lawn."
"Hey Seattle it ain't over yet, Burkle Up."
That last sign was in regards to Ron Burkle, one of the prospective Kings buyers whom local fans are hoping will be allowed to purchase the organization and keep it in California's capital. It's a last-ditch, grassroots effort to foil Seattle billionaire Chris Hansen's bid to purchase the club from the Maloofs and relocate it to the Emerald City.
"Hopefully, it's not (moving). It's a great community," said Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin, who played in Sacramento in 1995-96 during his 16-year playing career.
"I think the fans here have really supported the team for a number of years. It's a lot of jobs for a lot of folk. Just seeing the team leave would hurt a lot of people. It'd be an unfortunate situation if they do leave."
That decision hinges on whether Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, the former Phoenix standout point guard, is able to put together an attractive-enough offer to convince the NBA's Board of Governors to deny the applied-for Seattle purchase.
Asked before Saturday's game about the fans' concerted effort to stage a rally inside the arena, Corbin thought it was a terrific idea.
"I think it's great," Corbin said. "That's what these folk have done for a number of years with this franchise. They've always supported it, in my opinion."
It wasn't so fun while the crowd went bonkers over and over again as the Kings put on a flurry of highlights, including dunk after dunk and crazy circus shots.
The crowd, hundreds of whom stayed after to show continued support, might have tipped its hand that many fans hadn't been to a game for a decade or so — and not just because attendance was 16,193, the second-highest mark of the season after the 17,317 that showed up on opening night (and ahead of the 14,367 that watched the Kings play defending champ Miami).
Late in the fourth quarter, Sacramento fans performed a well-executed wave that circled the arena multiple times.
Only question that remains to be answered: Was that a boisterous wave goodbye to Sacramento by Kings fans?
"That's incredible. I wish it could be like that every night," Kings center DeMarcus Cousins said. "With that type of energy in the building, we're a tough team to beat."
Tell the Jazz about it.
They were the only ones who wanted out of Sacramento on this night.

Lehman, Summit, OTB, Townsends, Vitro: Bankruptcy
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed a revised Chapter 11 plan and explanatory disclosure statement before midnight last night. The documents, including charts and exhibits, exceed 450 pages. The new plan is supported by the official creditors' committee, Lehman said in a statement today.
The new plan revises the distribution formula promulgated with the original plan in March. In substance, it offers a compromise with creditors urging substantive consolidation of all 23 of the Lehman entities in Chapter 11. A rival plan filed by a group including Paulson & Co. would substantively consolidate by throwing all assets and debt into one pot, in the process not recognizing intercompany claims or the validity of claims based on guarantees.
The new plan contains a carrot and stick for holders of claims in Classes 3, 6 and 7 who have senior unsecured claims against the holding company, derivative claims against the holding company, and general unsecured claims against the holding company. If those classes vote against the plan, they won't receive what the plan calls the Plan Adjustment.
The disclosure statement says that senior unsecured creditors in Class 3 with clams against the holding company should have a 21.4 percent recovery. Under the first plan, the predicted recovery was 17.4 percent. If the class votes against the new plan, their predicted recovery is 17 percent.
Senior intercompany claims against the holding company in Class 4a are in line for 16.6 percent. Intercompany claims against the holding company in Class 8a are to have 15 percent.
Senior third-party guarantee claims against the holding company in Class 5a are estimated to see 12.9 percent.
Holders of derivative claims in Class 6 against the holding company are to receive their pro rata share of cash plus the Plan Adjustment. However, the disclosure statement says there are expected to be no allowed claims in the class.
For Class 7, general unsecured claims against the holding company, the recovery is an estimated 19.8 percent. If the class votes against the plan, the predicted recovery is 15 percent. Under the first plan, it was 14.7 percent.
Holders of subordinated claims against the holding company are to receive nothing. Similarly, holders of securities law claims aren't to receive anything.
The recovery on derivative claims and unsecured claims against Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. is an estimated 51.9 percent. In the original plan, it was 44.2 percent.
For derivative and general unsecured claims against Lehman Brothers Special Financing, the recovery is 22.3 percent. In the first plan, it was 24.1 percent.
For other Bloomberg coverage on the revised plan, click here. For details on the original plan, click here and here for the April 15 and 16 Bloomberg bankruptcy reports. For a discussion of the Paulson plan and substantive consolidation, click here for the Dec. 16 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
Lehman said it will file a separate motion to authorize a blanket method for determining the amount of derivative claims, rather than having each claim determined individually.
When Lehman issued a status report earlier this month, it said the new plan would reallocate some recovery from "certain of the subsidiary debtors" to senior and unsecured creditors of the holding company.
The Lehman holding company filed under Chapter 11 in New York on Sept. 15, 2008. The Lehman brokerage operations went into liquidation four days later in the same court.
The Lehman holding company Chapter 11 case is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 08-13555, while the liquidation proceeding under the Securities Investor Protection Act for the brokerage operation is Securities Investor Protection Corp. v. Lehman Brothers Inc., 08-01420, both in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
New Filings
Summit Business Media Files Prepack in Delaware
Summit Business Media Holding Co., a business-to-business publisher and event organizer, filed a Chapter 11 petition yesterday in Delaware after agreement on a reorganization plan with holders of 83 percent or more of the first- and second-lien debt.
Summit and affiliates publish magazines and websites and produce conferences for the insurance, accounting, financial services, banking and legal industries. They blamed financial problems on the recession and the 33 percent decline in print revenue. The company was formed through seven acquisitions since 2006.
Summit is 85 percent-owned by Wind Point Partners, according to a bankruptcy court filing. Summit says it has $252 million in debt, with $8.2 million owing to unsecured creditors. It doesn't put a value on the business.
The plan calls for giving a new $110 million first-lien term loan and 89.4 percent of the new stock to holders of the $189 million first-lien debt. Holders of the $55 million in second-lien debt are to receive $1 million cash and 5.6 percent of the new stock. The plan will reduce debt by $140 million, a court filing says.
Unsecured creditor are to divide $100,000 cash.
Summit, based in New York, first violated loan covenants in December 2008 and went through several workouts with lenders. Since inception, it never paid dividends to Wind Point, a court filing says.
The Chapter 11 exercise will be financed with a $5 million loan provided by the existing lenders. The loan will be repaid with a $6 million revolving credit to kick in on implementation of the reorganization plan.
Bank of Montreal is agent for the first-lien lenders, and Ares Capital Corp. is agent for the junior secured lenders.
Several of Summit's competitors also sought Chapter 11 protection. They include Cygnus Business Media Inc., Questex Media Group Inc. and Penton Media Inc.
The case is In re Summit Business Media Holding Co., 11-10231, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Manhattan's DeWitt Nursing Home Files for Chapter 11
DeWitt Rehabilitation & Nursing Center Inc., a 499-bed nursing home on East 79th Street in Manhattan, filed for Chapter 11 protection yesterday, saying it owes $38.4 million.
The nursing home said bankruptcy resulted from "the failure to control costs over the last several years." As a result, DeWitt owes back taxes and is behind on payments to a union benefit fund. The decision by New York state not to increase the reimbursement rate pushed the nursing home over the edge and precipitated the Chapter 11 filing.
Court papers don't give a value for the assets other than saying there are $10 million in accounts receivable. Secured lenders with liens on all assets are owed $10 million on a term loan. The lenders are Metropolitan National Bank and Israel Discount Bank.
The nursing home is owned by Marilyn Lichtman, who has been the operator since the facility opened in 1967.
The case is In re DeWitt Rehabilitation & Nursing Center Inc., 11-10253, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).
NYC OTB Chapter 9 Dismissed Despite Union Objection
The Chapter 9 municipal reorganization of Off-Track Betting Corp. in New York City was dismissed yesterday. In the process, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn denied a motion by a labor union for the appointment of a trustee to file fraudulent transfer suits.
Glenn recited how the ability of NYC OTB to reorganize was dependent upon legislation that failed to pass in the state Senate. As a result, operations halted Dec. 7. NYC OTB has no employees and disbursed all cash except enough necessary to cover outstanding checks, the judge said.
Glenn said that dismissal was appropriate as a result of the court's and creditors' limited powers in a Chapter 9 case. The court, for example, can't tell a Chapter 9 debtor how to spend its money, and creditors can't file a plan. If the entity in Chapter 9 can't or won't reorganize, the court's recourse is to dismiss, and allow the parties to exercise their rights in state court, Glenn said.
District Council 37, a labor union representing some 1,000 former workers, argued unsuccessfully that NYC OTB was a different sort of municipal debtor where the bankruptcy court has more powers. Glenn rejected the argument, saying he could not "differentiate between political subdivisions, public agencies or instrumentalities of the state."
The union wanted a trustee appointed to sue racetracks in New York State for receiving fraudulent transfers. Glenn denied the motion for a trustee, saying that the payments the union wanted to attack were made to comply with state law that in substance required NYC OTB to help subsidize the racing industry.
Glenn said that allowing the suits would violate constitutional limitations on the power of a bankruptcy court in Chapter 9. Even if there were success in the suit, Glenn said he lacked power to compel NYC OTB to pay the proceeds to any creditor in particular.
To read Glenn's opinion, click here.
Chapter 9 law does not allow appointment of a trustee to take over the entire municipality. Instead, Section 926(a) of the Bankruptcy Code permits appointment of a trustee only to sue for the recovery of preferences and fraudulent transfers.
The bankruptcy judge ruled in March 2010 that NYC OTC was eligible to reorganize in Chapter 9. The petition, filed in December 2009, said assets were less than $50 million while debt exceeded $100 million. Liabilities included $8 million in governmental statutory claims, $43.7 million owing to the racing industry, and $6.3 million in claims held by general unsecured creditors. There is almost no secured debt.
The case is In re New York City Off-Track Betting Corp., 09-17121, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).
Chicken Producer Townsends to Auction February 15
Townsends Inc., a vertically integrated chicken producer, is aiming to sell the business at auction on Feb. 15. Although there are discussions with several potential buyers, no one as yet is under contract.
There will be a Jan 28 hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware to set up auction and sale procedures. Townsends wants initial bids on Feb. 14, the day before the auction, with the hearing to approve the sale on Feb. 18.
Financing for the Chapter case is set to expire Feb. 20. The lenders are requiring sale approval before funding terminates.
Townsends filed under Chapter 11 on Dec. 19. Based in Georgetown, Delaware, the family-owned company can produce 700 million pounds of poultry a year and 1.3 million eggs a week. The four production facilities are in Arkansas and North Carolina.
Townsends listed assets of $131 million and liabilities of $127 million. Liabilities include $20.7 million owing to secured lenders on a term loan and $40 million on a revolving credit. Twelve-month revenue was $504 million. Townsends contracts with over 300 growers who operate 1,200 chicken houses.
The case is In re Townsends Inc., 10-14092, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware.
Lenders May or May Not Take O'Hare Hotel Through Plan
Longview Ultra Construction Loan Investment Fund and co-lender U.S. Bank NA filed a Chapter 11 plan where they hope to take ownership of the InterContinental Chicago O'Hare hotel near Chicago's largest airport. The property is owned by River Road Hotel Partners LLC. The creditors' plan was made possible when the bankruptcy judge in Chicago terminated River Road's exclusive right to propose plan in August.
The lenders' plan could be upset depending on the outcome of an appeal River Road was allowed to take directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago.
The plan will give the lenders ownership in exchange for their $138.7 million in debt. The lenders cite an appraisal as valuing the property at $86 million. The lenders will waive their deficiency claims if they take title through the plan.
If a pending state court lawsuit concludes with a ruling that some $9 million in mechanics' liens are ahead of the lenders' mortgages, the lenders will pay the claims in full. If the mechanics' liens are subordinate, the lenders will supply enough cash for a 10 percent recovery.
Other unsecured creditors are to receive about 10 percent through cash also supplied by the lenders.
At a hearing in August where it lost exclusivity, River Road was hoping the judge would approve bidding procedures for a sale of the property the lenders were opposing. Instead, the judge denied the motion for sale procedures and held that the lenders were being improperly denied the right to bid their secured claims rather than cash.
The bankruptcy judge allowed River Road to take a direct appeal to the Court of Appeals, overstepping an intermediate appeal in the U.S. District Court.
The appeal will test whether the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit goes along with rulings from sister courts of appeal in Philadelphia and New Orleans which held that lenders can be denied a so-called credit bid so long as they receive the equivalence of the value of their mortgages, which can be less than the face amount of the mortgage.
Had River Road been allowed to conduct an auction, the first bid of $42 million would have come from an affiliate of Och-Ziff Real Estate Acquisitions LP. The sale was to have been part of a Chapter 11 plan.
River Road filed under Chapter 11 in August 2009 in Chicago along with affiliate RadLAX Gateway Hotel LLC, the owner of the Radisson hotel at Los Angeles International Airport. Both are ultimately controlled by Harp Group. The O'Hare property listed $155 million in debt. The Radisson property listed debt of $120 million.
The case is In re River Road Hotel Partners LLC, 09-30029, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).
Vitro Wants Delay in Trial on Texas Involuntaries
Vitro SAB, Mexico's largest glass maker, filed a motion yesterday asking the bankruptcy judge in Fort Worth, Texas to push back the hearing date for deciding if its U.S. subsidiaries should be in Chapter 11 reorganizations involuntarily.
Holders of some of the $1.2 billion in defaulted bonds filed involuntary petitions against Vitro's U.S. subsidiaries in November. Vitro is opposing the petitions, saying the subsidiaries don't qualify for involuntary bankruptcy although they admittedly haven't made good on guarantees of bonds in default for about two years. The bankruptcy judge had scheduled a Feb. 10 trial on the involuntary petitions.
Vitro said in papers filed yesterday that it can't complete the production of documents even by Jan. 26, the extended deadline. Vitro wants more time to produce documents requested by noteholders and is asking the court to reschedule the hearing until Feb. 22-23.
Vitro said it identified 56,000 documents responsive to the bondholders' requests. Among them, more than 60 percent are in Spanish, Vitro said. Vitro needs to review the documents before turning them over to the bondholders.
Vitro is voluntarily dismissing the Chapter 15 case it filed in New York in December in view of the dismissal of its reorganization in a court in Mexico. The Mexican judge ruled that Vitro couldn't push through a plan based on the vote of intercompany debt when third-party creditors were opposed.
Bondholders also filed involuntary bankruptcy petitions against Vitro in Mexico. In addition, there are lawsuits in New York state court where bondholders attached Vitro assets.
Vitro previously said noteholders would recover as much as 73 percent by exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt and convertible bonds. Bondholders believe Vitro is worth enough to pay them in full. For a summary of Vitro's dismissed reorganization and the suits between Vitro and the noteholders, click here for the Dec. 15 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
The first-filed involuntary case is In re Vitro Asset Corp., 10-47470, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth). The Chapter 15 case to be dismissed is In re Vitro SAB, 10-16619, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).
Orchard Brands Subs File Motion for Exit Loan Approval
Subsidiaries of Orchard Brands Corp. began their prepackaged reorganization on Jan. 19 and on Jan. 24 filed a motion for approval of a commitment from lenders to provide $80 million in financing to underpin an emergence from Chapter 11.
The hearing for approval of the commitment will take place Feb. 11. There will be a separate hearing to approve the loan itself.
The contemplated loan has optional interest rates. One is for 3.5 percentage point above the London interbank borrowed rate, with a Libor floor of 1.5 percent. The lenders are UBS Loan Finance LLC, Wells Fargo Bank NA, and Ally Commercial Finance LLC.
The Orchard Brands companies operate 55 retail stores. The agreement with creditors requires either consummation of a Chapter 11 plan or a sale of the business not later than May 21. In case the plan process falls behind schedule, the company filed a separate motion setting up sale procedures. The hearing on sale procedures will be Feb. 11 also.
The plan is supported by holders of 80 percent of the first-lien debt and all of the second-lien obligations. The plan would give the stock and new debt to the secured creditors. Unsecured creditors other than a selected group of trade suppliers are to receive nothing. For details on the plan, which would reduce debt by $420 million, click here for the Jan. 20 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
Debt includes $115 million owing to trade suppliers and $725.1 million for borrowed money. Orchard is controlled by private-equity investor Golden Gate Capital Corp. Orchard, a holding company, is not itself in Chapter 11.
Beverly, Massachusetts-based Orchard has 17 brands, including Appleseed's, Draper's & Damon's, Gold Violin, Haband and Norm Thompson. The stores sell clothing, footwear, and household goods. They appeal to shoppers over age 55. Orchard also sells through catalogues and the Internet.
The case is In re Appleseed's Intermediate Holdings LLC, 11-10160, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
SCO Trustee Picks unXis as Buyer for Assets
The Chapter 11 trustee for software developer SCO Group Inc., after several delays, held an auction and selected unXis Inc. as having the best offer to buy the business of selling Unix system software products and services. The sale will be up for approval at a Feb. 16 hearing.
unXis is to pay $600,000 cash and give the trustee warrants for 3 percent of its stock. The warrants will be exercisable after unXis has raised $4 million in equity financings. The exercise price will be price for the stock paid by the investor in the last round of financing that brings the total to $4 million.
In August 2009 the bankruptcy judge called for a Chapter 11 trustee, approximately one month before the U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver ruled in the company's favor after six years of litigation with Waltham, Massachusetts-based Novell Inc. The case went back to the district court where the judge and jury largely ruled against SCO with regard to rights in certain Unix software incorporated in network systems. The trustee sought permission to hold the auction after SCO's interest in Unix was clarified.
After filing for bankruptcy protection in September 2007, SCO and an affiliate filed schedules listing combined assets of $14.2 million and debt totaling $5.2 million.
The case is In re SCO Group Inc., 07-11337, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Ambac Assurance's Rehabilitation Approved in Wisconsin
The rehabilitation of insurance company Ambac Assurance Corp. was approved by a judge in Wisconsin state court who held a five-day trial in November.
Some $50 billion of policies were put into a so-called segregated account where the policy holders will receive 25 percent in cash and the remainder in notes. For Bloomberg coverage, click here.
The insurance subsidiary stopped paying dividends to the parent in 2007 and stopped writing new business entirely in mid-2008. The parent Ambac Financial Group Inc. filed under Chapter 11 in November. The Ambac parent listed assets of $90.7 million and liabilities totaling $1.624 billion, virtually all unsecured. Nearly all the debt is made of up $1.622 billion owing on seven note issues. One issue for $400 million is subordinated.
The case is In re Ambac Financial Group Inc., 10-15973, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).
Palm Harbor to Sell Georgia Plant for $1.05 Million
Palm Harbor Homes Inc., a maker of factory-built homes, intends on selling a plant it doesn't need in LaGrange, Georgia for $1.05 million. Having marketed the plant for two years without another buyer, Palm Harbor wants the bankruptcy judge to approve the sale at a Feb. 17 hearing without holding an auction.
In 2008, Palm Harbor had an offer for $1.25 million. According to a court filing, the offer was rejected at the time as insufficient. Since then, the filing admits, the market declined further.
The buyer is VSP Logis Inc. The plant has 221,000 square feet situated on 23.3 acres.
The remainder of the facilities will go up for auction March 1. The opening bid will be an offer from Fleetwood Enterprises Inc., a venture between Cavco Industries Inc. and a fund advised by Third Avenue Management LLC. The hearing for approval of the sale will be held on March 4. Palm Harbor filed under Chapter 11 in late November.
Fleetwood is providing $50 million in secured financing that can be increased to $55 million. For the business, Fleetwood will pay $50 million or the amount outstanding on the financing, whichever is larger, plus $6.5 million attributed to the assumption of liabilities on warranties. The price is subject to possible downward adjustment.
In addition, $3 million cash will be set aside to fund expenses for winding down the bankruptcy.
Fleetwood was purchased out of Chapter 11 in 2010 for $26 million by Cavco, a producer of manufactured homes from Phoenix.
Palm Harbor's petition said assets are $321 million with debt totaling $280 million. On top of $34 million owing to Textron Financial Corp., there is $53.8 million owing on 3.25 percent convertible senior notes due 2024.
Palm Harbor is based in Dallas.
The case is In re Palm Harbor Homes Inc., 10-13850, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware.

Watch List
Harry & David 'Likely' to Default Soon, Moody's Says
Harry & David Operations Corp., the specialty-food retailer and direct marketer from Medford, Oregon, "will likely default on its debt obligations in the very near-term," according to Moody's Investors Service.
In a report yesterday, Moody's lowered the corporate rating by another notch to Ca.
Moody's noted that Harry & David owes $7 million in interest on March 1 on unsecured notes and doesn't have access to the revolving credit. The $58 million in notes mature in March 2012.
The new Moody's rating is comparable to the CC rating assigned last week by Standard & Poor's. S&P said the company "will not be able to finance its operations without restructuring its debt obligations and securing new capital."
The company is controlled by Wasserstein & Co., according to Bloomberg data. Annual revenue is about $420 million, Moody's said.
Lone Star to Recoup Half of Bi-Lo Plan Investment
Bi-Lo LLC, which emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization in May, is selling $285 million in senior secured notes, partly so Lone Star Funds can recoup about half the investment it made to retain ownership of the supermarket operator, Moody's Investors Service said yesterday.
Bi-Lo will use proceeds from the new notes to pay off a $195 million term loan that otherwise would mature in 2015.
Moody's lowered the corporate rating by one notch to B2.
By virtue of a $150 million equity investment, Lone Star retained ownership of Bi-Lo under the Chapter 11 plan confirmed by a bankruptcy court in South Carolina in April. Other financing for the plan came from a new $200 million term loan and a new $150 million working capital loan.
The plan gave term-loan lenders, owed $260 million not including interest, $260 million cash, for a 94.5 percent recovery. Unsecured creditors, with claims of $65 million to $85 million, were to split up $40 million, for an estimated recovery between 43.7 and 57.8 percent.
Bi-Lo, based in Greenville, South Carolina, filed under Chapter 11 in March 2009 with maturity looming on a $260 million term loan. The 207 stores are in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Annual revenue is $2.6 billion, Moody's said.
Lone Star Funds bought the business in 2005 from Royal Ahold NV, a Netherlands-based supermarket operator.
The Bi-Lo Chapter 11 case was In re Bi-Lo LLC, 09-02140, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of South Carolina (Spartanburg).
Del Monte LBO Raises Debt $2.6 Billion, Lowers Rating
The upcoming leveraged buyout of Del Monte Foods Co. is bringing on a downgrade that will lower the corporate credit by two notches to B+ on the Standard & Poor's scale.
Del Monte, based in San Francisco, is a producer, distributor and marketer of branded food and pet products. The buyers are KKR & Co., Vestar Capital Partners V LP and Centerview Capital LP.
S&P said the LBO will increase debt by $2.6 billion. The new $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes will be rated B-. The new $2.5 billion senior secured term loan will have a B+ rating.

I have multiple users working on a fileserver, mainly using Photoshop, InDesign and alikes. Samba (3.5.6) does not seem responsive enough (using 'socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536').
Hardware, disk i/o, network etc all ruled out.
After some initial testing, we decided to switch to NFS. It did however not take long before files and directories started to become read-only to the users (but of course not to me, not using MacOS X's "Finder"). After some digging I found the HFS+ extended attributes to be the likely cause. After removing them most problems have been solved, but not all. The problem is that this will happen again as soon as I let the users use NFS again.
NFS server options: rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=1001,anongid=1001 NFS client options: basically none, tested "noacl" and some other options with no luck.
Should I find a way to configure the clients not to use extended attributes, or can NFS be configured in a way that the clients cant use them? How is this typically solved?

I feel a little bit foolish because in my article published on August 5th of this year, "A Tale Of 2 Beaten Down Stocks: 1 To Buy, 1 To Avoid", I recommended that investors sell Nokia (NYSE:NOK). At the time, the company was trading at around $2.50 per share, having recently experienced a violent rebound from the 52-week low of $1.63. However, the recent unveiling of the Lumia 920 phone coupled with a deeper look at the phone landscape as a whole has led me to believe that the phone maker could rebound even perhaps in the medium term.
Why Windows Phone 8?
Windows Phone 8 is actually a big deal. Why? It's a slick, fast, and easy-to-use phone operating system backed and supported by one of the strongest operating system design teams in the industry. Now, this isn't to say that Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android and Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS aren't also great, but common sense would say that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is bound to gain traction with its new and improved version of its Windows Phone OS. But common sense isn't enough, so here are some more fun facts:
- Microsoft Dominated The Console Market: Remember when Sony (NYSE:SNE) was the "untouchable" player in the game console market? Well, Microsoft's first Xbox was pretty successful; it outsold the Nintendo GameCube, but lagged significantly behind Sony's Playstation 2. But the firm's second attempt with the Xbox 360 was a slam-dunk success, frequently outselling the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii month after month. Microsoft didn't get it quite right at first, but eventually it succeeded brilliantly.
- Strong Development Ecosystem: If there's one thing that Microsoft does well, it's, well, software. The new Windows Phone 8 OS simplifies porting of Windows 8 apps to Windows Phone 8, makes porting over from other platforms such as Android, Symbian, and iOS much easier than with Windows Phone 7, widening the app base for Windows Phone 8.
Why Nokia?
Nokia is very well positioned in the Windows Phone ecosystem and during July captured 59% of the Windows Phone market. People seem to really like Nokia's offerings! The current generation Lumia 900 received great reviews and is priced very competitively, with this reviewer concluding,
"In all, it's a fantastic piece of technology. It just looks and feels like nothing else on the market. It hits all the right notes for me. A little bit retro, a little bit futuristic, with a touch of quirky humanity in its otherwise very machined design. This is the Nokia I grew up with, and it's clear the company hasn't lost its ability to enchant through hardware"
More importantly to Nokia and its shareholders, Nokia's latest Windows Phone 8 offering, the Lumia 920, comes packed with a great screen, best-in-class camera, a very fast Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon S4 CPU, 4G LTE support (the Lumia 900 had this, too), and an aesthetically pleasing design. Reviewers were generally impressed with the phone with Techworld concluding,
"The Lumia 920 looks good and performs smoothly. It has a deluge of features, and a great camera. And the Windows Phone 8 software really stands out. Camera features like the ability to add motion or delete people who've wandered into the shotalong with the phone's augmented reality-flavoured City Lens will likely set the Lumia apart from other Windows Phone handsets"
The main takeaway here is that Nokia has bet its future on its Windows Phone 8 lineup and so far it seems that the company is doing its job well: great hardware and great software. With a great product in hand, Nokia's main job will now be to make sure that the general public is aware that these phones are here and that they rock. The firm's brand, while probably a lot less "popular" than it was in its heyday, still resonates with customers. The ball is in the marketing department's court at this point.
Nokia's back, but time will tell if the company's Windows Phone push will restore the firm and its stock price to glory. The risks here are obvious: there are lots of good phones out there with compelling hardware and software features in the Android, iOS, and even Windows Phone camp (Samsung, anybody?). Plenty of excellent phones with wonderful hardware, great software, and sexy price tags go unnoticed in the crowded world of smartphones. Establishing grabbing customer mind-share with an excellent brand and reputation will be key, and that remains the major risk to Nokia's future. But hey, it's nice to know that the actual phones won't be the major headwind to Nokia's success.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in NOK over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

This was absolutely gorgeous and has gone down as one of my favourite meals. We made alot of alterations however - we didn't use the pork, shrimp, ham or coriander. We just keep this is a chicken dish but the flavours were still delicious.
This is absolutely fabulous! I totally dig the flexibility of this recipe. I've made it a couple times now, each time with slightly different veggies and meats. Someone once told me that this is a recipe used to "clean out the fridge" in South East Asia , and I can see why! Thanks
Excellent recipe. I omitted the bell peppers and used Chinese cooking wine instead of sherry because that's what I had. Turned out great! I used a mild Jamaican style curry powder (and plenty of it). Delicious!
Been craving this all week and didn't want to get it from the takeaway again, Great recipe! Once all was prepped took about 10 minutes to cook. I will make this again on the weekend but won't be using the 1/2 cup of chicken broth as this made the dish too wet/soggy. I substituted scallions for spring onion and corriander instead of cilantro. Did not use shrimp as i am allergic and couldnt find the chinese pork/ham in the supermarket. Apart from that this tasted delicious!!!!
This recipe is amazing. I used only pork. Also, the only veggies I used were onions and the bean sprouts. I did not have chilies, so I used red pepper flakes. This recipe was better than the ones in the Chinese restaurants. I would be making it often.
Really good! I substituted vidalia onions for the green pepper because I think it has an over powering flavor and I LOVE onions. I also left out the cilantro just because I don't like it.
Delicious!! We didn't add any pork, as we had none on hand, and omitted ginger, because we don't care much for it, but other than that we followed the recipe, and it was so very good! Why eat out when you can have fun cooking such an awesome meal? Yum! Thanks, Grace!
This is very good. I didn't know what to expect, though supposed the dish would be fairly strongly curry flavored with the amount of curry powder called for. It does taste of curry, but that's not all. It's a combination of flavors that comes together nicely. Other than leaving out the bell peppers and using somewhat more bean sprouts and less scallion, and Chinese wine for sherry, I followed the recipe faithfully. This was my first time to cook this type of noodle. Thank you for making the experience so good.
This is awesome, followed recipe exactly except for omitting all items and calling dominos for a pepperoni pizza!
Tried it the other day - yummy! Couldn't get enough of it, will definitely make again!

Some experts question benefits of reformulated gas
Wisconsin asks EPA to eliminate special fuel requirement
Motorists in southeastern Wisconsin pay an average of 14 cents more a gallon for gasoline billed as cleaner for the environment, but the government and air quality experts now question how much the gas actually cuts pollution.
Reformulated gas hit Milwaukee and six surrounding counties, metropolitan Chicago and other regions with high levels of ground-level ozone in 1995 - a mandate under the federal Clean Air Act to slash ozone. Ground-level ozone, or smog, is a summer phenomenon that can endanger public health.
But much has changed since 1995.
The Public Investigator Team asked the Environmental Protection Agency exactly how the gas benefits air quality today.
The answer: "That's the data we don't know now," said Paul Machiele, director of the EPA's Fuels Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Better-equipped cars coupled with cleaner conventional fuel are making reformulated gas less relevant. Some Wisconsin officials are calling for its riddance.
"We are trying to be good stewards," said State Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills). "We are not trying to escape our responsibility to Mother Earth. But at this time, the mandate is not contributing enough to clean air."
The EPA is investigating. It won't say yet what might become of reformulated gas.
James Tarantino stands beside his Toyota Tundra pickup at a Glendale gas station and claims he doesn't care about clear lungs.
Cost. That's what matters to the 29-year-old Tarantino, who puts 25,000 miles on his truck every year for his Menomonee Falls-based roofing business.
Tarantino is well aware that he pays more for reformulated gasoline in southeastern Wisconsin. But what Tarantino and most motorists don't know is that a key advantage of reformulated gas has disappeared. Other advantages are shrinking. Yet the higher prices remain.
For months motorists in southeastern Wisconsin have paid among the highest prices in the nation for reformulated gas - in the Midwest it has cost an average of 14 cents a gallon more than conventional gas since March 31, according to government figures. That difference means Tarantino will spend about $220 more this year on reformulated gas than he would have if he refueled in another part of the state where conventional gas is king.
"With the gas prices what they are, even if it was better for the air, I wouldn't be happy about paying more," Tarantino said.
Nationally, gas prices hit $4 a gallon for the first time last month, according to the American Automobile Association. The run-up at the gas pump is coinciding with a sagging economy, and the effects are straining family budgets and raising transportation costs across the board.
The problem is all the more frustrating for motorists in southeastern Wisconsin because much of the region's pollution drifts in from northern Illinois and Indiana. In May, 25 Wisconsin lawmakers asked the EPA to eliminate the reformulated gas requirement. The EPA says it's preparing a response. Another request by Gov. Jim Doyle for the EPA to declare the state in compliance with the Clean Air Act was rejected that same month.
This spring, the EPA tightened standards, underscoring the dangers of ozone. Ozone can trigger chest pain, coughing, throat irritation and lead to heart problems. Ozone is created when heat and sunlight react with nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. One of the major sources of nitrogen oxides and these compounds is vehicle emissions.
Yet reformulated gas lacks some of the clear advantages it once had in fighting ozone pollution and making air safer to breathe, according to scientific studies and air quality experts.
The main reason: Conventional fuel is cleaner today than it was four years ago.
In 2004, federal regulations reduced sulfur content in all gas. This virtually eliminated the difference in nitrogen oxide emissions in reformulated and conventional gas.
As part of those same regulations, the auto industry was required to begin selling vehicles with better pollution-fighting technology. Vehicles meeting these standards are 77% to 95% cleaner, depending on the size of the vehicle, compared with 2003 models, according to the EPA.
Catalytic converters - the principal air pollution control devices on cars and trucks - "get better every year," said spokesman Charles Territo of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
Other environmental advantages once associated with reformulated gas are also disappearing.
Last year the EPA approved a rule that further limits toxins in gasoline. When it takes effect in 2011, the standard will be stiffer than standards applied to reformulated gas for carcinogens such as benzene.
With all the changes, the EPA can't say exactly how beneficial reformulated gas is anymore.
The agency recently initiated a study, collecting emissions data from both fuels in vehicles built after 2003. Results won't be known until at least late 2009.
"I'm telling everyone to cool their heels and wait until we have the data so we know what we're talking about," Machiele, of the EPA's fuel programs center, said. "A lot has changed, or potentially has changed, and we need to look at it."
Machiele and other air quality experts expect reformulated gas will still outperform conventional fuel when it comes to one pollutant: volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Like nitrogen oxides, the compounds also contribute to ground-level ozone.
The EPA couldn't say just how much the gas might help reduce emissions of these compounds, citing the pending study.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources roughly estimates reformulated gas will be responsible for cutting the compounds by 20% or so in 2008.
Another pollutant, carbon monoxide, which also plays a role in forming ozone, will drop by 13% this year with the help of reformulated gas, according to the DNR's projections.
These reductions mean reformulated gas will still help cut ozone by nearly 3 parts per billion a year in Wisconsin, or three years' worth of reductions from other sources, said Larry Bruss, chief of regional pollutants and mobile sources at the DNR.
However, Bruss cautioned that his estimations were "back-of-the-envelope" calculations and based on an outdated model. The model - mandated for states' use by the EPA - doesn't allow the DNR to factor in ethanol-blended reformulated gas when entering data, among its other shortcomings, Bruss said.
The latest data shows that Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington and Racine counties were in compliance with ozone standards between 2005 and 2007. The improved conditions led to Doyle's request for the EPA to declare the region as meeting federal ozone standards. But the EPA rejected the request because Kenosha County remained in violation. The culprit: A single air monitor near the Illinois border.
On high ozone days, more than 90% of emissions come outside the state - much of it from Illinois, according to the DNR.
The EPA groups counties for compliance, and if one county violates air quality, the entire region is in violation.
Businesses with air pollution permits that expand or move into a region that is out of compliance must install the most stringent, and usually the most expensive, pollution controls. State officials and business groups say ozone violations have dampened economic growth in the region, which was part of the reason for last month's request by the legislators to remove the restrictions.
Reduction in ozone will become more critical as Wisconsin and other states face new standards beginning in 2013 that will drop acceptable levels from 84 parts per billion to 75 parts per billion.
But as the benefits of reformulated gas wane, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) has sought to streamline the nation's fuel types. Wisconsin is being needlessly penalized, Ryan said.
Reformulated gas is an economic burden on motorists because a limited number of refiners are producing it and it's only being sold in specific markets, he said.
"The current system basically sets up a system for high prices," Ryan said. "From Green Bay to St. Louis, there are five different blends of fuels. That makes absolutely no sense."

7 Days - By Appointment
We had our wedding at Syracuse in Feb 2015. We wanted something a bit different from the standard wedding reception venue, and what we got was incredible! I had many comments on the night that the food was the "best wedding food" our guests had ever tasted!! We also had compliments on the drinks package, and the variety that was offered. We had our ceremony in the beautiful laneway outside and Nancy and her staff were more than happy to accommodate our requests - we also had a lot of positive comments on what a great location the ceremony was, and the beautiful old bluestone made for the most spectacular photos! If you are wanting something beautiful and intimate - this is definitely it!! Thank you to the Syracuse team, we had an absolute blast!

Hi folks! My name is David Layton (the artist formerly known as Dai Lizard) and I am, among other things, a songwriter, guitarist, singer, and reluctant percussionist from Wales in the UK. Over the years, I've played and gigged with a lot of bands of almost every style, and done more recording sessions than I care to remember. I have also written songs for a whole heap of bands and artists, most recently Rebecca Bruni and Shazoot.. This, however, is the first time I've done a real solo project. My tastes are pretty wide-ranging, from blues-rock, to jazz and country, and this is reflected in the stuff I've recorded. I hope you enjoy it. I'll be uploading tracks as I complete them, and occasionally posting improved versions of existing tracks, so stay tuned! For those of you interested in such things, I play old Gibson Les Paul Deluxe and hardtail Fender Stratocaster guitars, with acoustic duties being performed on my two old Yamaha FG335s and a Marlin of uncertain provenance. For amplification, I use Marshall JCM800 Series 2203 amps and 4x12 1960 cabs or their modelled equivalents exclusively, with NO EFFECTS, apart from the odd bit of reverb or chorus put on at the desk, now and again. Finally, I owe special thanks and an honourable mention to miracle-working luthier, Gareth Lewis of Cranes Music, Cardiff, who has worked wonders to keep my old guitars on the road without them showing their age too much - a top man in his field!
Anyway, enjoy the fun: I've suffered for my art, now it's your turn!

Former EPA fugitive Joseph DeMatteo of Clark County, NV, has been sentenced to serve 5 months home detention, with a three year probation term following the detention. DeMatteo was one of 10 Nevada-certified emissions testers indicted for falsifying vehicle emissions test reports in Las Vegas.
The Clean Air Act makes it a crime to knowingly alter or conceal any record or document that is required under the Act.
"Today's sentence demonstrates that individuals who knowingly violate our nation's environmental laws and then flee the court's jurisdiction will be caught and brought to justice," says Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "Abusing emissions testing responsibilities puts communities' air quality at risk. With information provided through the EPA fugitive's list, we were able to work with the public and other law enforcement agencies to capture and complete the sentencing of a defendant who attempted to circumvent the law."
DeMatteo and the other defendants were engaging in a practice known as "clean scanning" where the identification number of a vehicle that cannot pass the emissions test (or is not present for testing in the first place) is entered into the computer system, but then a different car that can pass the test is actually tested.
Las Vegas is required to perform rigorous emissions testing because it currently violates ozone and carbon monoxide standards.

The England Saxons player made his final appearance for Bristol last weekend in a 26-16 win over Birmingham Solihull and reported for training with Leeds Carnegie on Monday morning having passed a medical.
Commenting on the signing, Director of Rugby Andy Key said, "We are pleased to have agreed a deal with Adrian to bring him to Leeds Carnegie until the end of the season. Throughout the season, we have identified that fly half and goal kicker are two key areas for us that we do not have the same level of cover as other positions within our squad in terms of senior players. Adrian has a great deal of experience from his time at Bristol and Harlequins and will give us strength in depth in that position as we face a vital run of games in the Aviva Premiership."
Jarvis commented, "When the chance came up to sign for Leeds Carnegie it was an offer that I could not refuse. At 27, I could not really turn down the opportunity to play Premiership rugby again and I am very excited to be part of the group and hopefully I can do whatever the club need of me to help Leeds climb up the table."

Released: Nov 01st, 2000
Running Time: 92
Director: Glen Bassett
Company: In Touch Productions
Cast: Dino Nicolini, David Patton, Victor Salazar, Mike DiSanti, Eli Starr, Michael Mateo
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay Specialty
Fans of In Touch magazine and j.o. vids will enjoy this effort. Stock in your solo section.
Remember as a teenager when your dick got so hard it hurt? The California boys of In Touch magazine's latest audition tape capture all the angst of teenage horniness, with a bit of nervous awkwardness thrown in. Director Glen Bassett conducts a routine Q&A with each member of the peach-fuzz posse before they doff their clothes and jerk for the camera. ITA 6 turns up surprisingly little star power - the exceptions are pouty-lipped Mike DiSanti and straight-but-not-narrow Dino Nicolini - but if you like 'em young, smooth, thin and wearing braces (no joke!), this baby-faced bunch will do the trick.

the shoe is fabulous . I got a white pair a month before the black pair. I got a black pair for work and white for fashion purposes. The only thing is my black pair came with tounges that lean to the side a little and not centered the way i would like them to be. i am a size 7 womens and got a size 4.5 youth. i am 23.5cm footlength. ... read more
Purchased the Superstar Jacket in blue for my 8 year old son and he LOVED it!! He put it on as soon as it arrived in the mail and didn't take it off! He said he plans to wear it to school every day. I think we have a winner!! I was so happy, I went online and purchased the red one for him also!! ... read more
I honestly went though a lot to get these sneakers! They were sold out everywhere and they had them here. At fist I got a 4 and it was too big my foot would come out. I sent them back and got a 3.5 and it fit perfectly fine. I recommend to go a 1/2 down then yor actual size because thy run a bit big!! Anyway, they a comfortable n every way, that I ended up ordering the white ones in 3.5 too!!! ... read more
the superstar is super comfortable. Sadly for me, I have to take a kid size (2.5) so the choice is limited for me. If Adidas can customize each purchase to the customer's wish, it can surely tailor the size. ... read more
Just got my shoes in the mail today and they fit perfectly! I am a womens size 7, and so I purchased the kids size 5. I already own a white pair with black stripes, however its in a mens size (mens size 5) So when I came across these kids superstars, I was a bit skeptical on ordering them, as I thought theyd be quite small. But all the reviews said the sizing is big, so I decided to order them since they are so much cheaper than the adult shoes. And im so glad I purchased these shoes! I think that as long as you buy the correct size, it will fit you too! So, If you are a women, I would reccomend going two sizes down (eg. Womens size 8= kids size 6, womens size 5= kids size 3) I also attached a picture for reference, and as you can tell in the picture, the sizing is exactly the same! (white pair is mens shoes, black pair is kids shoes) Hope this helped:) ... read more

10 Ways The CW's "Riverdale" Cast Will Infuse Classic "Archie" with Scandal & Murder

Before there were LJ communities, before there was DeviantArt, heck, before there was an internet, there were fanzines. And before Gary Groth was the editor of The Comics Journal, he was the editor of Fantastic Fanzine, a project he began when he was 13. At Comic Attack, Ken Meyer, Jr., reproduces all of issue 12 of FF, together with commentary on many of the creators. And if that whets your appetite, check out the earlier issue he blogged about last fall.
I miss real 'zines. Sure, most of them were terrible, but they took a level of love and effort that Blogger and it's ilk just destroyed -thus making it possible for any talentless idiot to voice their opinions and bad poetry.
That is a badass piece of art by Dr. Klein though!!

Source: Davis Out 6-8 Weeks Following Surgery
|10.27.09 at 2:49 pm ET
According to an NBA source, Celtics forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis underwent successful surgery on his right hand on Tuesday, and will now be out for six to eight weeks. Davis reportedly suffered the injury in a fight with a former college teammate. Davis re-signed with the Celtics this offseason on a two-year deal worth approximately $6 million deal.
In an interview with The Big Show on Tuesday afternoon, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck confirmed that Davis suffered a broken thumb. Though he did not give a specific timetable for the forward's return, he did suggest that such injuries "are usually not season-threatening. … It's a broken thumb. I don't think it's going to be that long."
Grousbeck did say that the team expected to "suspend or fine" Davis. Noting that the 23-year-old will be out for some time, Grousbeck suggested that the Celtics planned to sit down with the player and determine an appropriate punishment.
"I think we're going to ask him to chip in," said Grousbeck.
Family affair between Cavs and Celts
|10.27.09 at 2:26 pm ET
CLEVELAND — It will be brother-in-law against brother-in-law when Shelden Williams' Celtics go up against Anthony Parker's Cavaliers tonight on the shores of Lake Erie.
Williams is married to Parker's sister Candace Parker, a hoops star in her own right. Candace is a star for the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks.
"It's all business," Anthony Parker said. "I've competed against friends, maybe not family, before and yeah, you want to have bragging rights and it's fun to go through that but we've played against each other so this is nothing new."
Parker played in Toronto for the last three seasons before joining Cleveland this season while Williams has played for Atlanta, Sacramento and Minnesota over that same time frame.
Leon will cheer on Cavs for now
|10.27.09 at 2:11 pm ET
CLEVELAND — It's not hard to keep thinking what might have been if Leon Powe hadn't torn the ACL in his left knee in that first round series against the Bulls in April.
Maybe it's Powe who would have stayed and Glen Davis might have moved on – to someplace like Cleveland.
Instead, Powe had reconstructive surgery and signed on as a free agent in August with the Cavaliers. He is already working out lightly with his new team, including shootaround on Tuesday morning at Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavs take on his old teammates, the Celtics.
"Almost identical," Powe said of the two teams. "For the offense, they just call it something different and sometimes it's the same thing, same motion. I should have no problem figuring that because that's the same thing as Boston ran, defense, too."
Powe said last week he is targeting a return just after the All-Star break in February, something he reiterated on Tuesday morning.
"I'm not in a rush to get back," he said. "I wanted to get back tonight, actually. I told coach, give me 10 minutes and I'll give you 10 [points] and eight [rebounds]. But he wasn't going for it tonight so I've got to wait till February. There is no rush because this team is already good. I just want to come over here and flow right into things. Pick up energy, anything I can do to help them win."
Shaq: Celtics are a 'damn good' team
|10.27.09 at 2:01 pm ET
CLEVELAND — Shaquille O'Neal acknowledged on Tuesday morning that the Cavaliers will have their hands full with the Celtics, not just tonight but all season.
"A lot of teams made a lot of moves," O'Neal said. "They're the former champs and really didn't have a chance to defend their crown because Mr. Garnett was hurt during the postseason. We know they're going to be ready. We know a lot of other teams will be ready. It's not going to be easy for us but we accept all challenges."
O'Neal may have been quite formal but all pleasantries will likely end tonight as Garnett and the Celtics feel they have something to prove to the Cavaliers and the rest of the Eastern Conference.
O'Neal is just looking to fit in and begin meshing with another star by the name of LeBron.
"Very excited but you learn not to get too excited," O'Neal said. "It's a long season. I've been around every situation imaginable. We know what we have to do. We know we're going up against a damn good opponent. We just have to try to keep our poise and play hard and hopefully, we can get started on the right foot."
O'Neal has been a lightning rod in his most recent stops around the league, stops included Miami and most-recently Phoenix.
"Difference here is I've been inserted into a really good team," O'Neal said. "So, my role is going to be a little different and I accept that. I'm not really coming here to stir things up, just come in here and be the piece they were missing. The whole world realizes they were just one piece away and hopefully, I'm that piece."
Shaq on Baby: 'He'll be back more focused'
|10.27.09 at 1:28 pm ET
CLEVELAND — Cavaliers superstar center Shaquille O'Neal was asked about his friend Glen Davis, who did not make the trip to Cleveland for the season opener Tuesday night because of a reported broken bone in his right hand following a fight with a former LSU teammate on Sunday night.
"Well they call him Big Baby for a reason, he's my son," joked O'Neal, who like Davis starred in basketball at Louisiana State. "A lot of people don't know that. He's a great player. I've known him since he was a youngster.
"He works hard, has been working hard on his game. It's an unfortunate incident but one thing about him is he's a focused individual so he realizes he may have made a mistake so he'll come back more focused than ever."
The Cavaliers held a brief shootaround at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday morning.
West 'doubtful' for tonight vs. Celtics
|10.27.09 at 12:58 pm ET
CLEVELAND — Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said Tuesday that troubled shooting guard Delonte West is 'doubtful' for tonight's season opener against the Celtics after he got into an alleged domestic dispute with his newlywed wife over the weekend in Cleveland.
A Cleveland TV station first reported that the former Celtic and his wife got into an argument at their apartment prior to a domestic violence report being filed at Cleveland's Hopkins Airport.
This latest troubling news comes just a month after he was arrested for carrying three loaded guns on his motorcycle.
"Right now, we have a support system for him off the floor," said Brown, who is conferring with general manager Danny Ferry. "I'm just waiting for them to give the okay. When Danny [Ferry] tells me he can play, he'll play."
Wyc: Davis suspension 'very likely'
|10.27.09 at 9:58 am ET
Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck told Fox 25's morning show Tuesday that a suspension of injured forward Glen Davis was "very likely" after Davis injured his right hand Sunday night, apparently in an fight with a former college teammate.
Davis showed up at Celtics practice on Monday but was sent for an exam that reportedly revealed a broken bone in his right hand. The team has yet to confirm the nature of the injury or the circumstances of the altercation that resulted in the injury.
Davis re-signed with the Celtics this summer on a two-year, $5 million deal.
