IMPORTANT NOTE: I am going on vacation later this week. Barring any major news there will be no updates from Tuesday until Thursday, August 27. If you have sent something for inclusion please don't be offended if its not mentioned today, as it likely will be on Tuesday.
Sunday is the 22nd annual Summerslam PPV from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I am planning to be at the show. Announced line up is Randy Orton vs. John Cena for the WWE title; Chris Jericho & Big Show vs.
Cryme Tyme for the tag titles; Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler for the IC title; Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the World title; Kane vs. Great Khali; and D-Generation X vs. The Legacy.

Kane vs. Great Khali was just added to Summerslam. There were originally plans to bring back the punjabi prison match for their program.
The Miz debuts a new look tonight.
There is once again talk of Ric Flair returning soon.
Variety Magazine at http://tinyurl.com/q3v5mc has a story on WWE bringing in celebs to guest host Raw, and essentially becoming a new talkshow circuit. Stephanie McMahon is quoted and says that the plan is to continue with guests hosts possibly up to WrestleMania 26. "For right now, it's really working and clicking," she said. "But it's just the beginning." She said that upcoming celebs booked for Raw include Bob Barker, Rev. Al Sharpton, Nancy O'Dell, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and LeBron James. WWE is also in negociations with Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, the Osbournes, Danny DeVito, Regis and Kelly, Jimmy Fallon, Rachael Ray, MC Hammer, Woody Harrelson, Serena Williams and Ashton Kutcher. She added:
"We're letting them feel safe with the PG environment. By bringing in the celebrities, we're saying, 'If it's OK for them, it's OK for you too.'"
The company is also talking to Trish Stratus about doing the guest host gig at the September 14 Raw in Toronto. Speaking of which, Wrestlemania
27 in 2012 is heavily rumored for Toronto, although we are a long way away from an announcement.
Jeremy Piven's The Goods bombed at the box office. The movie did a $5.3 million opening this past weekend which was the same as 12 Rounds with John Cena earlier this year.
Edge started in rehab this week for his surgically repaired Achilles tendon. He is targeting the Royal Rumble in January for a return, although Wrestlemania 26 is perhaps more realistic at this point. We've heard from friends of his who say he is determined to come back as soon as he physically can.
Rey Mysterio was given last week off for a family vacation to Hawaii.
Jim Ross at www.jrsbarbq.com wrote in his blog today that he received an email from Dr. Death Steve Williams: " … and apparently cancer has returned to once again challenge my dear pal. Cancer returned to his Stoma and Doc has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment which is the only way this matter can be addressed. I truly admire Doc's faith and his believe in God not to mention the mental and physical toughness that this former wrestling great possesses. If you have it in your heart to help us raise funds to purchase a hands free, talking devise for Doc, please check out www.wrestlersrescue.org. Doc has some limited wrestling engagements upcoming and is still working for Southwest Airlines at the Denver Airport. As someone whose family has been affected by the evil scourge that is cancer, I feel for Doc and all that he is going through.
I wish him all the best in his fight. I already know he is tough enough to win it."
Mickie James at www.nzpwi.co.nz talks life in WWE developmental, TNA and Trish Stratus. She says it bugs her when pretty women get involved in pro wrestling without really having a passion for it: "The worst thing in the world is to watch bad wrestling. You know? So they can be the most beautiful women in the world, but if they can't wrestle then it means nothing. They go out there, and it's just like… ugh. Like, it'll turn the biggest wrestling fan away, it'll make them change the channel.
So it's important… that's why we've really worked hard with the girls to be the best that they can be. You don't have to be the best in the world, just be the best that you can be. And everybody's stepped up their game, and everybody's working hard and everybody's continuously trying to get better and better… and that's important, because if you truly love what you do, you would want to be the best that you can be."
Bryan Alverez reports that an underground steroid network in Egypt was broken up last week. The network branded all of their drugs with a photo of Dave Batista flexing his biceps.
Steve Austin will be on the cover of an upcoming edition of Muscle And Fitness.
A funny or perhaps delusional note. Steve Keirn, who heads WWE's developmental program in Tampa, attended the NWA Legends fanfest last weekend in Charlotte. During a conversation in front of a group of people, including one of our readers, he said that UFC was a flash in the pan promotion and they would be out of business in a few years.
8/16 Hard Justice PPV results from Orlando, FL: Daniels over Suicide, Chris Sabin, Amazing Red, Alex Shelley, Black Machismo, D'Angelo Dinero (Elijah Burke) and Consequences Creed in a Steel Asylum match to win a future title shot; Abyss over Jethro Holliday in a bounty match; Hernandez over Rob Terry to retain the title shot briefcase; The British Invasion over Beer Money to retain the IWGP tag titles; ODB & Cody Deaner (he is the new women's champion) over Angelina Love & Velvet Sky to win the Knockouts title; Samoa Joe over Homicide to retain the X-Division title; Booker T. & Scott Steiner over Team 3D to retain the tag titles; Kevin Nash over Mick Foley to retain the Legends title; and Kurt Angle over Sting & Matt Morgan in a three-way to retain the TNA World title.
The TV tapings for the next two week's take place today and Tuesday at Universal Studios in Orlando. Awesome Kong vs. Sarita vs. Christy Hemme vs. Traci Brooks is the only match announced for Thursday's Impact. They are also teasing AJ Styles "retiring" and Bobby Lashley making an appearance. For what its worth, D-Lo Brown is backstage at today's taping.
There was a talent meeting a short time ago where Dixie Carter announced a new three-year deal with Spike TV.
Simon Rothstein and myself at http://tinyurl.com/mmt6ek have a story on the Kurt Angle arrest, including a statement from Kurt's attorney where he declares Angle's innocence. The attorney claims that Trenesha Biggers (Rakka Khan) made up a fake protection order because she was mad that Angle dumped her. Angle's court date scheduled for Tuesday has now been moved to September 15 and another date in October so he can work the TV tapings this week. Today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a big story noting that Angle was released on a $10,000 bond and wrestled on Sunday.
TNA's stance on the situation is "no comment" however an updated AP story note that TNA rep Steven Godfrey said that the company has a drug policy in place for all employees, but declined to release any details.
I know they do test for steroids and recreational drugs sporadically but their policy and punishment for a violation has never been made public.
The bigger issue here is the alleged assault. Most companies in any line of business would not allow their employee back to work unless they clear their name through the legal process.
Before the PPV last night all the TNA talent were told that under no circumstances should they talk to anyone about the Angle situation.
Well, you know how that goes. Taylor Wilde, who wasn't at the show, wrote on her Twitter this afternoon: "Just arrived in Orlando! Can't wait to see all the Knockouts, but not because I'm a stalker or anything…" A few hours later she wrote: "Wow, that inside joke got blown out of proportion. Its not what you think it is, trust me." Well it was what you think, and she got caught out. Worse still she hasn't deleted the messages.
Angle didn't make the cut for ABC's Dancing with the Stars. The line up for the ninth season was announced today on Good Morning America, including former UFC fighter Chuck Liddell, Donny Osmond, Melissa Joan Hart, Mya, Michael Irvin, Kelly Osbourne and Aaron Carter. Liddell said in a statement today: "I want to win. I don't like losing in anything, so I'll work as hard as they'll let me. I'm gonna go out, be myself, and show what kind of people we do have in this sport… I'm sure the reaction will be mixed. My friends are gonna be excited and I'll never hear the end of it because they'll make fun of me, but it should be fun and I think everyone will like it." The show premieres on September 21 at 8pm.
Some people have been told that Jeff Jarrett will eventually return just as a wrestler and won't have any say in booking.
Former agent Pat Kenney (Simond Diamond) was offered his old job back, but he turned it down. He is currently part of a class-action lawsuit against his former school teacher, a priest, who he alleges sexually assaulted him and many others as a child.
The Dayton Daily News at http://tinyurl.com/kjvfvf has a story on Lisa Marie Varon. The story notes she has a non-restrictive TNA contract which allows her to do MMA. Her manager says she wants to fight Kim Couture next year.
There is someone pretending to be Scott Steiner on a Christian dating website in Calgary. There is a profile up complete with photo claiming to be a 49-year-old man looking for a local Christian girl.
Jerry Lynn suffered a severe stinger on Saturday night at the ROH TV tapings. Feeling eventually return to his limbs, and he was taken to a Philadelphia hospital for follow up. X-rays were negative, but he is still suffering from tingling in his hand and lower leg and will be seeking further medical evaluation this week.
Ashley Massaro's leg surgery is Tuesday. A plate in her leg dislodged and caused an abscess.
Former WWF wrestler Damien Demento has a message for pot smokers at http://tinyurl.com/ry9qco.
In Japan this past week, Hiroshi Tanahashi vacated the IWGP title due to suffering a broken orbital bone against Shinsuke Nakamura, and Mexican Lucha star Mistico defeated Tiger Mask to win the IWGP Jr. title.

Converting childs room into adult space
After children are grown, parents often renovate their rooms when they move out. |
Photo courtesy of MetroCreativeConnection |
What to do with a room might hinge on who still lives in the house. Another child, for instance, might be interested in "upgrading" to the room if it is larger or has amenities that the previous bedroom does not offer, like a better view or a bigger closet. Some have plans for a craft space or a library. Perhaps the room would be perfect for a "man cave" or a quiet sitting area.
Keep in mind that the room might hold sentimental value for the child, so converting the space is not something that should happen abruptly or without prior notice given to the former occupant. Communication is key before the room can be permanently changed into a new room. To get started, follow these guidelines.
- Start slowly. Broach the subject with the former occupant of the room to gauge his or her reaction to the idea. If your child is supportive, then the process might move along more quickly. If not, you might need to wait a little longer before starting the renovation.
- Go through the room's contents together. Your child might feel his or her private sanctum was violated if you simply box up belongings and ready them to be taken away. Instead, go through the room together and allow your son or daughter to pack away items of sentimental value. Other items can be donated. Consider which pieces of furniture might be kept and repurposed.
- Keep some items of value. Remember, you don't want your child to feel like his or her identity has been erased from the house. Find a way to incorporate something from the bedroom into the new design to pay homage to the person who lived and grew up in the room. Keep a square of removed wallpaper and frame it. Put some well-read childhood books on a shelf. Have a place of honor for the first soccer trophy. This way when your child returns home, there will still be a piece of the room's former identity.
- Work through your new design plan. Before removing furniture and any items, draw up a detailed renovation plan and establish a budget. If the room will become a guest room, the basics might already be there and you simply need to introduce new linens and a new paint color to transform the space. Consider keeping the room functional as a sleeping space in some way — whether moving in a sleeper sofa or making a regular bed into a daybed — so when your son or daughter comes to visit, he or she will have a comfortable space.
- Make it sophisticated. Adult spaces differ from children's spaces in their sophistication. Starting fresh with more streamlined furniture and bolder colors in the room will give it a grown-up look.

Camo, Mommy Style
Culture & Entertainment
Camo, Mommy Style
Ok, let's get real for a moment. I have kids. 2 of them. And no matter what those mags try to tell you, I will never look the same. I have a mummy tummy. There I said it. No amount of crunches, lunges, core work or fiber supplements will ever quite flatten that pooched puppy out. In fact, the only way to truly get rid of it is surgery.
Since I'm not about to go under the knife, I turned to professional help. Personal stylist
Erin Nadler equipped me with the ammo I need to camouflage the paunch.
Erin's Top 5 Mommy Camo Tips:
Ruching and Draping. I think everyone says this, but for me it always feels like I'm drawing attention to it. Like I'm calling out "Hey!! See this pleat? That's the fatty deposit left by my son!"
Crossover Tops and Faux Wrap Dresses. These actually work really well. They create a very pretty neckline and draw attention to one's, ahem, assets. By the way, the reason she says faux wrap, especially for dresses, is because you don't want to have any wardrobe malfunctions…
Layering. A thick cammie under anything helps smooth out body lines, and anything on top adds depth creating a polished look that's really hiding any extra baggage.
Wide Elasticized Belts. Draws the eye in, heightens and lengthens you and makes you look 10 lbs thinner. Take that!
Well-Made Clothing. Ok, so this one will cost a bit more, but in the long run will wear better and make you happier. While I love my $10 dresses from Giant Tiger, they don't have quite the same tailoring as the higher end brands. Plus the fabrics can't be compared. A roughly hewn, misaligned seam can't beat a perfectly pleated placket. By the way, to all the husbands and partners out there, a personal stylist is an affordable and very cool holiday gift. It's practical pampering, and a great way to get a mom from spew-splatered Lulus back into business...

The industry needs "technical leaders"
New industry survey sheds light on the skilled-labor crisis
FMA survey reveals hiring managers are looking for technical leaders, those with technical knowhow with the ability to look beyond their individual work cell.
In 1985 Gary Foreman walked onto a metal fabricator's shop floor for the first time. By then he had graduated from a high school vocational program and knew enough to be an entry-level machinist. So it made sense that his first job at C.O.W. Industries (Central Ohio Welding, www.cowind.com) was in the machine shop. Still, at the time most of the work at the Columbus, Ohio, job shop involved sheet metal fabrication and welding, not machining. On his first day on the job, he had never touched a press brake or a welding gun. Yet today he's vice president of manufacturing and is being groomed to become company president in a few years.
Foreman's background explains a little about his hiring practices. He hires for character, not experience. As he figures, you can offer extensive on-the-job training, but teaching someone eagerness and leadership is another story. Few would doubt it was Foreman's leadership skills that got him to where he is today.
Leadership happens to be something this industry wants when it looks for a new hire, according to a recent survey from Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs® (NBT), the Foundation of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Intl. More specifically, it may be that fabricators want to hire a technical leader.
I conjured up that "technical leader" term after poring over the survey. Late last year 185 industry managers—most of them from job shops and contract manufacturers—gave NBT insight into what exactly they were looking for in a new hire. Compiled into the foundation's "2010 Manufacturing Job Skills Survey," the responses shed new light on manufacturing's skilled-labor crisis.
For years I've asked manufacturing managers about their greatest business challenges, and finding skilled labor always has landed near the top of their list. But according to survey responses, technical skill is only part of it. In fact, a good portion of respondents said that leadership is the single most difficult skill set to hire (see Figure 1). After leadership come the typical skills we're used to seeing: welding, tool- and diemaking, blueprint reading, and so on. Machining also made the list, no doubt because many shops offer milling and turning capabilities to supplement sheet metal work. This is simply anecdotal, but according to a few shop owners I've spoken with, machinists are more likely to apply to full-fledged machine shops than to fabricators. And machining is, of course, a complex, hard-to-learn skill. Still, C.O.W. Industries' Foreman is proof that a machinist can go far in metal fabrication.
"Leadership" is a subjective term. What makes a good leader? Some of it is intangible, but not all of it. Someone who can't communicate probably won't be a good leader, and that's why communication ranks high on the survey. In the responses to academic-preparation skills most difficult to hire, basic communication shows up just after blueprint reading and basic math (see Figure 2).
Another survey response is even more intriguing: What general business skills are most difficult to hire? A full 76 percent of respondents said "leadership." The next answer was "management," at only 38 percent (see Figure 3).
The word management is more concrete than the word leadership, but what qualities differentiate the two? Bartell & Bartell Ltd. (www.bartellbartell. com), a consultancy, puts it this way: Managers focus on tasks, while leaders focus on teams. Leaders make the most of the people around them so that those people also become leaders.
Here's my stab at it: Managers are taskmasters; leaders engage others around them and question the status quo. Leadership potential doesn't hinge on a job title, either.
Consider the opening scene in one of the best manufacturing books I've read, Eliyahu Goldratt's The Goal, a business book in novel form that covers the theory of constraints. TOC is an improvement technique that, among other things, describes how businesses can operate around a constraint, or bottleneck. The opening chapter introduces us to the plant manager who scurries to the manufacturing floor and tells the machine shop supervisor, called Ray, to stop his operators mid-setup so they can run an emergency job. The plant manager's boss, Bill, arrived earlier that morning and chewed him out for a late order. The plant manager is understandably frazzled, and tells the operator to just do what his boss wants.
"OK, but we'll be wasting a setup," says Ray.
"So we waste it!" I tell him. "Ray, I don't even know what the situation is. But for Bill to be here there must be some kind of an emergency. Doesn't that seem logical?"
"Yeah, sure," says Ray. "Hey, I just want to know what to do."
Ray may be an incredibly skilled machine operator—he climbed the ladder to the supervisor level, after all—but all that skill doesn't make for a successful company. Ray's a person who does what he's told and lets chaos reign around him. His plant manager seems to be the same way (at least at the beginning of the book), and his boss, Bill, is reacting to an angry customer.
In fact, everyone is reacting, and no one is asking constructive, proactive questions—and asking those proactive questions may be what defines a "leader." It may be someone who thinks not just about his or her job, but overall company practices and procedures: a mix of technical know-how and big-picture thinking.
Technical education still is vital, according to survey respondents, who were asked what academic preparation future workers will need (see Figure 4). High school education ranks high—no surprise there—but also topping the list are technical and specialized industry certifications. These could include welding certifications from the American Welding Society and other code-specific programs (the ASME boiler code, for example), as well as the newly introduced Precision Sheet Metal Operator (PSMO) certification from FMA.
This industry may need those with mechanical aptitude, curiosity, and the ability to look beyond their individual workcell and ask the right questions—attributes Foreman at C.O.W. Industries apparently had. After a year on the job he became second-shift supervisor and, by 1995, continuous improvement manager. In that role he helped the company reduce inventories and lead-times tremendously, from more than six weeks to mere days. Today most orders in this high-mix, low-volume job shop are delivered within seven business days.
Foreman did it by having both a strong technical foundation and by being a leader. In other words, he saw beyond the machining workcell he occupied during his early days on the job—and asked the right questions.

Individuals suffering from mood and anxiety disorders such as bipolar, panic and major depressive disorders may be more likely to abuse opioids, according to a new study led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who found that such disorders are highly associated with nonmedical prescription opioid use. The results are featured in a recent issue of the Journal of Psychological Medicine.
For the study, researchers examined individuals with mood and anxiety disorders and their association with nonmedical prescription opioid use and opioid disorder.
"Lifetime nonmedical prescription opioid use was associated with the incidence of any mood disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and all anxiety disorders. Nonmedical opioid-use disorder due to nonmedical prescription opioid use was associated with any mood disorder, any anxiety disorder, as well as with several incident mood disorders and anxiety disorders," said Silvia Martins, lead author of the study and an associate scientist in the Bloomberg School's Department of Mental Health.
"However, there is also evidence that the association works the other way, too," she said. "Increased risk of incident opioid disorder due to nonmedical use occurred among study participants with baseline mood disorders, major depressive disorder, dysthymia and panic disorder, reinforcing our finding that participants with mood disorders might use opioids nonmedically to alleviate their mood symptoms. Early identification and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders might reduce the risk for self-medication with prescription opioids and the risk of future development of an opioid-use disorder."
Using data from the National Epidemiologic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions, a longitudinal face-to-face survey of individuals ages 18 years and older between 2001–2002 and 2004–2005, researchers assessed participants for a history of psychiatric disorders.
Nonmedical use of prescription opioids was defined to participants as using a prescription opioid without a prescription or in greater amounts more often or longer than prescribed or for a reason other than a doctor's instruction to use them. Logistic regression was used to determine whether lifetime nonmedical prescription opioid use and opioid disorders due to this use predicted incident mood and anxiety disorders and the reverse. Researchers say they believe that these findings provide support for a bidirectional pathway between nonmedical prescription opioid use and opioid-use disorder due to nonmedical use and several mood and anxiety disorders.
Carla Storr, author of the study and an adjunct professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Mental Health, said, "With the current increased use of nonmedical prescription drugs, especially among adolescents, the association with future psychopathology is of great concern. Using opioids, or even withdrawal from opioids, might precipitate anxiety disorders, suggesting that there is a subgroup of people who are vulnerable to future development of anxiety disorders." Individuals using prescription opioids need to be closely monitored not only for the possibility of engaging in nonmedical use but also for the development of co-morbid psychiatric disorders, she said.
Added Martins, "Additional studies are needed to examine the relationship between nonmedical prescription opioid use and prescription opioid-use disorder with mood and anxiety disorders since they could co-occur due to shared genetic or environmental risk factors."
The study was written by Martins, M.C. Fenton, K.M. Keyes, C. Blanco, H. Zhu and Storr.

Standing O pal and educator extraordinaire Yvette Aguirre never dreamed that someday a wing would be named in her honor. Her only dream was to see a new facility where the children in her beloved Sunset Park could go to school and get the best education around, with great teachers, reasonably sized clases, and small learning communities. In 1987, Yvette was appointed principal of PS 169, where the attendance was 2,000 children and counting. With the help of elected officials, parents and community leaders, Yvette began downsizing the classes, creating more space, and transforming PS 169 into a school she could be proud of. But all good things come to an end, and after 33 years in the city's education system, she retired in 2005. "I miss the daily interactions with the kids, parents and faculty," she told Standing O. And the kids, parents and faculty miss her. But now they don't have to. Every day, whenever the kids, parents and faculty walk past the plaque bearing Yvette's face that reads "Principal Emeritus Yvette Aguirre Wing" they will think of the educator that dreamed a dream that came true.

When Thomas arrived, Ben was freshly woken and all three of us were cleaning up the backyard. He seemed surprised to see Tom but was welcoming, but Ashley thought it dreadful knowing that Tom would suspect her from the get-go, especially because she was still wearing her underwear. He was pleasant but I knew he definitely was not happy to see her at the house. I don't think he even suspected that she and Ben were involved, but more thought that she and I had started what she and he enjoyed for years now. I guess he thought I was too young to get into that sort of thing, or maybe that she would spill the beans about him if she and I got close, either way, he wanted her out and that's exactly what I needed him to do.
Dinner went over smoothly enough and he told Ben that he would take her home when they were finished. However, Ben having other ideas himself, promised that he would take her home, and that Tom should relax since he had just got to the house. They both "insisted" for a while until they compromised that both Tom and Ashley would stay the night at the house and she would leave tomorrow since her "parents might be missing her too much by now." She was disappointed by Ben's concession but I was overjoyed. I hadn't figured out how I was going to get him to give in to me, but in order to fuck me, he really needed to get his dick out of her.
In order to break the awkward tension in the house, we all went to the movies that night and by the time we got back, everyone headed to bed and their respective rooms for the first time in a while. Tom's room remained as it was when he left it months ago, give or take a couple shirts and he settled in nicely, enjoying some television after his shower. It had been a long time since I shared a bathroom with anyone and I noticed the difference in the smells immediately. Not bad smells per se, just different and the bathroom was much, much warmer. He always overdid the hot water. The bathroom separated our two rooms and it was weird seeing his side of the door locked that night as I usually liked to freely roam between rooms.
Ben came in to say good night and he joked quietly about how we were all going to have a dull night. He planned to invite Ashley back over to the house just as soon as Tom left. I could see that he wasn't giving up his new found privileges easily and sighed that it was going to be him "and his hands tonight". I loved that he could make those jokes with me now, although I was disheartened that he took so much to Ashley. He kissed me good night and went to bed and I snuggled in too, but lay awake, thinking about Will earlier in the day. I got hard just thinking about it and my teen cock started to leak precum running the entire scene over in my head. He was quite a piece of meat and if all else failed with Ben, I would devote my time in trying to make Will my hardcore top.
It must've been an hour of me lying there thinking about that situation, when I heard Tom's bedroom door open. I knew the sound well because it creaked from months of no use. At first, I thought he may have gone down to the kitchen but I swore that I heard more footsteps in the room with him when the door closed. It had to be Ashley, unless Tom grew a fourth leg, because Lord knows, he safely had three. I sat up in my bed trying to listen intently and then saw shadows at the bottom of my bathroom door leading to my room and lay back down pretending to be asleep. Tom opened the door slowly and peaked in and called out my name twice, first softly, and then casually and loudly. After I didn't budge, he closed the door again and went back into his room, switching off the bathroom light.
This is when I knew for certain that Ashley was in room because it was an old trick he used when he had girls over. He would switch the bathroom light off, so when it turned on, or when he saw a light reflection from my room, he knew I was awake and would stop whatever he was doing or be very quiet. My cock started throbbing again thinking of all those nights I stayed up watching him fuck girl after girl in the dark. I was never brave enough to walk in while he was in action and I never told him about it because I was afraid of losing my brother to my lust, but I was definitely not against peeking.
I snuck to my door and listened for movement and when I felt that they were safely in the motion, I went into the bathroom and slowly turned his doorknob. It was locked, but having made his room practically part of mine for the last couple of months, I had the keys for everything. I slowly unlocked the door and then opened it very, very easily when they were at their loudest. The women moaning on his tv set helped and I sat on the cold tiles of the bathroom floor peering through the crack in the door. The light from the tv revealed enough for me to convincingly decide that my brother did infact have the biggest cock I had ever seen in my life.
He lay sprawled across his bed, feet spread far apart, eating out Ashley's pussy while she tried unsuccessfully to swallow his thick, overgrown, veiny, mushroom headed cock. I had a full view of his dick, from the tip to the last hairs on his hanging balls, the shaft strong and hard, pointing straight up to her waiting mouth. She seemed determined to engulf his cock and moved down, devoting her whole self to his meaty third leg while his eyes jumped from his dick to the lesbians on screen. She was stroking it hard and fast while licking his balls and sooner than I expected, he started to ooze cum by the loads. The globs that she didn't lick up, she used as lubricant, and slid him into. I was now jerking off furiously, watching my brother impale Ashley's pussy over and over while she literally cried in pleasure.
After she was done riding him, he flipped her over and pushed her face down, holding down every inch of her body, while he gyrated his dick against her pussy and ass. I saw him hold down her hands and kiss her neck and then raise up and push her ass cheeks apart. I began fantasizing that I was in her position. She had been living the life I want to have. He spit a couple times onto his slimy cock and started pushing it into her asshole. I didn't know she had been ass fucked before but it definitely wasn't her first time, because nobody could take that cock on the first time and not call out for help. He continued easing it into her inch by inch and when it was sufficiently in, slowly began pumping his cock. He then pulled her on her side and lifted her leg open, hoping to get more room for his thick dick. It seemed to have worked because he was now fucking her more furiously than ever, and between biting her lips and stifling moans, she was rubbing her pussy like never before. Her body began to tense up and she was encouraging him to fuck her "right there" until she screamed that she was cumming and during a lengthy succession of power fucking her in her ass, she squirted a long stream of cum, her body shaking from the event. I had never seen a woman cum before and knowing that my brother caused it made him a legend in my mind.
When she stopped writhing, he restarted his power fucking, lifting his upper leg up into the air as well, trying to get greater thrust, slamming his dick into her ass harder and faster. I imagined being right behind him sliding my 5-inch teen cock up his ass while he pounded her. He kept fucking her hard and blasted his second cum into her asshole without saying a word, which confirmed my suspicion that not only had they fucked before, but that she let him ass fuck her and she let him cum in her many times over. He continued fucking for a few minutes after he came, squeezing every last drip of luscious cum into her open ass. He let out a huge sigh when he finally let her rest and lay there, still inside her, she more tired than ever. Ben's ego would plummet if she told him.
My knees, ass and hands were paining from all the different positions I tried to hold myself in while watching my brother work his magic on that whore, but at least I had what felt like the biggest cum of my life that night. It flew right out of me, onto the bathroom floor and some on his bedroom carpet. I didn't bother cleaning up and just crawled back into my room and locked the door. I didn't care what happened for the rest of the night, because to me, I had just seen it all. I slipped into bed naked, my hands and cock cum covered and fell asleep. I knew who I would be dreaming of tonight.

I just checked my fedEx tracking number and my At-At is home waiting for me. Looking at the shipping invoice the weight was 90 pounds. Can't wait to see it!
Lucky you. How much did that end up costing anyway (after shipping and everything else)?

Total was 1199+ 70 to ship. I will go and open now and post some pics.
Ok this thing is awesome. THey give you step by step instructions on how to unpack and assemble so that it does not get damaged. I got #3/1000. I have attached some pics. Any questions let me know.
Trying to attach pics but get an error page. If anyone wants them let me know.
Me! Me! Me!
If you can't attach them here, you can email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I've seen pics of these At-AT's before and they look great and worth the money. I just can't see myself spending that much on one piece though. Heck you could've bought 6 people a set of the OTC figures. Way to look out for your fellow collectors.:D:D
If ya cant load the pictures Bobbyg714, send me some at email@example.com
Thanks for the pictures Bobbyg714! I have to say that I'm impressed as hell! In a way I'm relieved that I dont have one of these (although I've very much like one), if everybody had everything of the same things -then nobdy would be imprerssed.
Are you going to get the Snowspeeder too Bobbyg714? You can bet they are gonna do some more ships. I'd probably get a standard TIE Fighter if they made one.
You're welcome. It is really great. I have a snowspeeder on flight 1 whenever that is. I would hope to get other ships too!
Bobbyg714, would you be so kind as to e-mail me the photos as well? firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks in advance. If you want these posted, LMK.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini was said to have been only 8 when he carved a stone head that "was the marvel of everyone" who saw it, according to a contemporary biographer. He was not much older when he dazzled Pope Paul V, who reportedly declared, "We hope that this youth will become the Michelangelo of his century." Prophetic words: over a long lifetime, Bernini undertook commissions for eight popes, transforming the look of 17th-century Rome as Michelangelo had helped shape Florence and Rome a century before. Much of the Baroque grandeur of the Eternal City—its churches, fountains, piazzas and monuments—can be credited to Bernini and his followers.
Related Content
Yet, despite his artistic stature, Bernini is only now receiving his first major American exhibition—at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (through October 26) and then at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (November 28, 2008-March 8, 2009). One explanation for the oversight is obvious, says Catherine Hess, associate curator of sculpture and decorative arts at the Getty and a co-curator of the exhibition. "How do you move Piazza San Pietro?" Like that grand piazza, which Bernini designed in front of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the enormous marble sculptures for which the artist is best known are for all practical purposes untransportable. What does that leave? As it happens, a significant body of work: especially the portrait busts, a genre in which the young Bernini demonstrated that he was head and shoulders above the competition. "All the things that make Bernini great can be found in his portrait busts," says Hess.
By mid-career, as he became busier with large-scale ventures, Bernini did fewer busts—"only popes and kings, people you couldn't say no to," says exhibition co-curator Andrea Bacchi, professor at the University of Trento in Italy. But Bacchi believes one reason that the sculptor stopped doing busts after he got successful is that he valued them too highly to allow his assistants to take over the carving. By focusing this exhibition on portrait busts—including rare Italian loans that come as implicit thanks for the Getty's agreement last year to return some 40 antiquities said to have been excavated and exported illegally—the curators present a Bernini retrospective that is both intimate and revealing.
Bernini's prodigious output was the result of his skill at organization and his tireless self-discipline. He said that if he put together all the hours he spent on meals and sleep in his lifetime, he doubted whether they would add up to a full month. (A slim, dark-complexioned man who avoided the sun for fear of migraine headaches, Bernini typically ate only a small plate of meat and a large quantity of fruit each day.) At a young age, he was already managing a supporting cast of talented assistants. And he himself would labor for seven hours without interruption on a block of marble. According to a friend's description, the sculptor could carry on a lively conversation about the topics of the day, all the while "crouching, stretching...marking the marble with charcoal in a hundred places, and striking with the hammer in a hundred others; that is, striking in one place, and looking in the opposite place." Often Bernini proceeded without a terra-cotta model and sometimes even without a subject in front of him, realizing a vision that resided in his mind.
Indeed, he was a highly original thinker, not merely a consummate craftsman. In the many different arts he pursued—sculpture, architecture, painting, even playwriting—his works expressed ideas. Behind every Bernini masterpiece there lies a concetto, its governing concept or conceit. One concetto that fascinated the sculptor throughout his career was the attempt to overcome the limitations of his materials. When he was carving white marble, for example, he tried to suggest color: fashioning the eyes in his portrait busts, he would incise the irises deeply so that they lay in shadow and appeared dark. Even more ambitiously, he sought to imbue cold, inanimate stone with warmth, movement and life. Instead of positioning the subject of his busts straight on, he might have the head turning to the side or the fabric of the garment askew. In a number of his best sculptures, he pioneered what has been called a "speaking likeness," capturing a person in action or at the point of uttering words. He explained to an associate that "to make a successful portrait, one should choose an action and attempt to represent it well; that the best time to render the mouth is when [the subject] has just spoken or is just about to begin speaking; that one should try to catch this moment."
Cardinal Maffeo Barberini (later Pope Urban VIII) was once part of a group admiring a new Bernini bust (above left) of Monsignor Pedro de Foix Montoya—sharp-cheeked, furrow-browed and thick-mustached—when the monsignor himself entered the room. Barberini went up and touched the priest and said, "This is the portrait of Monsignor Montoya," then faced the marble bust and declared, "And this is Monsignor Montoya."
In his long career, no modeling job was more important to Bernini than fashioning his own image. "He wanted to create a legend around himself," Bacchi says. Recent scholarship reveals that the two seminal and supposedly independent biographies of the artist, begun toward the end of his life (one by his son Domenico), relied on information that Bernini himself supplied. And much of that he may have doctored. Many historians, for instance, believe that Bernini shaved a few years off his age when recounting the tale of the marvelous stone bust he claimed to have carved at age 8; he was probably in his early teens. Pope Paul V's comparison of Bernini to Michelangelo was another notion that the sculptor vigorously promoted. "If it isn't something that he invented, which he may have, it is something that he fostered very much in the later years of his life," says Tod Marder, professor of art history at Rutgers University. "Bernini was very familiar with the accounts of Michelangelo. He used that familiarity in cobbling together an account of his own life and career." Consequently, as Bacchi observes, "it is a strange fact that you know so much about the life of the artist from the artist himself, but you have to double-check everything."
At the time of Bernini's birth, in 1598, painting was the exciting art form in Rome—especially the new and startling realism of Caravaggio. Sculpture had become the domain of a worn-out Mannerism, replete with formulaic affectations and exaggerations. Bernini's father, Pietro, was such a sculptor. Of Tuscan origins, he had moved to Rome from Naples with his Neapolitan wife, Angelica Galante, when Gian Lorenzo was about 8. Ruled by the popes, who were constructing lavish churches and monuments, Rome was the place for a sculptor to find work.
Pietro encouraged his gifted son. When a visitor to his studio asked if he felt threatened by the prospect of his child surpassing him, Pietro replied, "It doesn't bother me, for as you know, in that case the loser wins." Among the powerful and well-connected art connoisseurs who recognized the boy's talent was Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who commis-sioned four colossal marble statues from him—Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius Fleeing Troy; David; The Rape of Persephone; and Apollo and Daphne. These established Bernini, in his early to mid-20s at the time, as the city's pre-eminent sculptor, and they continue to dazzle present-day visitors to the Villa Borghese, the cardinal's palatial Roman residence, now a museum.
With his David, Bernini took a subject that other great sculptors had tackled before him and made it his own. Instead of depicting the victorious warrior with the head of Goliath (as Florentine sculptor Donatello had done), or (like Michelangelo) showing the coolly confident youth before the battle, Bernini chose the most dramatic moment—when David is about to let fly the stone from his taut slingshot. Bernini's method was to seize and freeze the revelatory moment; he positioned his statues against walls, so that a spectator would take in the work from a prescribed perspective. With the David, you were meant to stand facing the young warrior, as Goliath did.

An SMS marketing business plan will describe how you can help small businesses brand and expose themselves through tailored text messaging and other social media campaigns. With consumers turning more and more towards social media sources for information about businesses and products, and with more and more people using handheld devices and smartphones, it is a natural extension for SMBs to being marketing themselves through SMS. But how can a business develop and manage its own campaigns, when it's busy trying to focus on its core business model? Most can't, and that's why they turn to specialty providers. SMS marketing companies claim a unique sort of expertise: the know-how and methodology to create and disseminate snippets of information via a short message service (SMS). The SMS marketing business plan should discuss:
• The types of service you offer
• The plan rates you've designed (if not all projects are custom)
• The sort of carriers you can service
• The customer base you're best at targeting
• A sample messaging campaign you have developed or directed
The SMS marketing business plan also needs to consider the industry itself. Where does a short message service specialty company fit into the larger advertising industry? Do most providers offer this as their stand-alone service? What are the combined revenues of companies in the space? More importantly, you should be able to look in detail at the companies that you're in direct competition with. What are their strengths and weaknesses? What sort of sales do they get and what are their margins? Knowing these things can help you gauge your own business performance going forward. The team at MasterPlans.com has worked with all sorts of marketing firms on their business plans, and we can help you get your document in shape for your funding presentation. Call a consultant today at 877-453-2011 to learn more!

I think my favorite thing about google, besides its (usually) kick-ass search, is the flexibility of its logo. A few weeks back, google
became a Seussian collage
in honor of the late author's birthday. Today children's author Eric Carle's work is referenced, in honor of
the 40th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar
. Brilliant.

In the Matter of Guardianship of Richard Roe III, 421 N.E. Rep. 2d 40 Key Issue: "decision maker is called upon to ignore all but the implementation of the values and preferences of the ward." Summary: Massachusetts' highest court, the Supreme Judicial Court, ruled that when a mentally ill individual who is incompetent to make his own treatment decisions refuses treatment, only a court can decide if he is to be treated, and must do so on the basis of substituted judgment, i.e. what the individual would choose, given what is known of his values and preferences, if he were competent. Background: A bright and popular student in junior high school, Richard Roe (a pseudonym) became ill in high school. Expelled from private school, he dropped out of public high school and became uncontrollable at home, physically assaulting the members of his family and threatening to kill his mother. Following his arrest in 1979 on charges of receiving stolen property, he was sent to Northampton State Hospital, where he was diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia. Released, he was arrested again a few months later for assault and battery and back in the hospital was assaultive, attacking another patient. Although according to Dr. Jeffrey Geller, then a psychiatrist at Northampton State, Roe responded well to medication, he now refused it. Northampton Hospital, then radically cutting back its patient population, prepared to release Roe to his parents who were willing to take him home, but wanted to make sure that he could be made to take the medication that controlled his symptoms. The hospital assumed that arranging this would be a simple matter because the federal district court in another case (the Rogers case, to be discussed fully elsewhere) had ruled that patients found in a court hearing to be incompetent to make their own treatment decisions could have treatment decisions made for them by a court appointed guardian. In the opinion of the hospital's psychiatrists, Roe was clearly incompetent. However, since the federal court decision in the Rogers case applied to patients at Boston State Hospital, and Roe would be an outpatient, the hospital advised Roe's family to go to court to make Richard's father his guardian with the power to decide if he should take medication prescribed for him. The probate judge ruled Roe was mentally ill and incompetent, appointed his father as his guardian and agreed that in light of the "Rogers" decision he had authority to determine his son's treatment. The case was then appealed by the guardian ad litem who had been appointed to represent Richard Roe. The Decision: The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found the evidence that Richard Roe was incompetent "more than adequate" and said it was convinced Richard's judgment was so severely impaired that there was a strong likelihood he would inflict serious injury on himself or others. The judges concluded he needed a guardian and his father was the appropriate choice but could not make treatment decisions. The Court ruled that only a judge could conduct the "detached but passionate investigation" necessary to decide if Richard should take medication. The Court ruled the judge should base his decision on what the incompetent mental patient would want to do, if he were competent (taking into account the fact he is incompetent). The court identified six factors the judge should consider, among them "the ward's expressed preferences regarding treatment," "the ward's religious beliefs," and "the impact upon the ward's family," if there was evidence the patient desired to minimize the burden he placed on them. The Court explained why Richard's father was not qualified to decide if Richard should take the medications prescribed for him. "We intend no criticism of the guardian [Richard's father] when we say that few parents could make the substitute judgment determination by its nature a self-centered determination in which the decision maker is called upon to ignore all but the implementation of the values and preferences of the ward when the ward, in his present condition, is living at home with other children." The Court's opinion was highly critical of anti-psychiatric drugs, describing them as "extraordinary" medical treatment, "powerful enough to immobilize mind and body." It said "the impact of the chemicals upon the brain is sufficient to undermine the foundations of personality." The opinion also dwelt at length upon side effects: "Although... the intended effects of antipsychotic drugs are extreme, their unintended effects are frequently devastating and often irreversible." Significance: The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court had ruled that the decision whether to treat an incompetent mentally ill individual should not be on the basis of what was medically in his best interests, or had the likelihood of restoring him to competence. Instead, it should be on the basis of "substituted judgment," i.e. what a judge concluded the individual would prefer, based on his earlier attitudes and behavior. The case assumed broader significance. This was because, after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued its opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court remanded the long-running, multi-million dollar, federal Rogers case, involving the right to refuse treatment of civilly committed hospitalized patients, which had gone up to it on appeal, to be decided in light of Roe. The Supreme Court did so on the grounds that the judges in Roe had carved out a right to refuse treatment on the basis of state law that went beyond anything it could find on the basis of U.S. constitutional law. And so, what started out as a minor case could Richard Roe's guardian decide on his treatment became the basis for requiring that, except in emergency situations, judicial hearings must be held in Massachusetts before a non-consenting hospitalized mental patient can be treated, with the decision to be made on the basis of "substituted judgment." Comment: In the Matter of Guardianship of Richard Roe III was a profoundly anti-family decision. It never seemed to occur to the Court that Richard Roe's family, despite his serious illness, wanted to take care of him and that making it feasible for them to do so should be society's concern. According to the Court, Richard Roe's father lacked the "detachment" to decide whether his son should be medicated. But it was precisely because he cared what happened to his son and wanted him restore to competence that he was a desirable guardian of his son's interests. Moreover, the whole family had an interest in eliminating the psychotic thought processes that had led Richard to attack them in the past and could make living with him impossible. The judges refused to consider that other children in the family had a legitimate interest in living without fear of violence from a severely ill, uncontrollable family member. Such interests were viewed as "selfish." While the judges felt they were upholding the interests of the ill individual at the expense of all others, in fact their decision made the ill individual the greatest loser for it is he who is most dependent on the support of others. Unable to secure for him the treatment he needs, the family, for its own protection, is forced to cast him adrift. In the case of Richard Roe, according to the family lawyer, the court decision "blew the family to pieces." In theory, they could have applied for a substitute judgment decision by the court, enabling Richard to be medicated. But feeling it was obvious the decision would go against them, the family gave up. The parents divorced, and Richard became a semi-street person constantly involved with the law for petty infractions. In their opinion, the judges also displayed astonishing ignorance concerning psychiatric medications, which do not "undermine the foundations of personality" as they claimed, but reduce hallucinations, disordered thought processes, agitation, withdrawal and other psychotic symptoms that can much better be described as undermining personality. Anti-psychotic drugs -- particularly the older ones, then the only ones available -- do indeed have side effects, but the judges almost totally ignored the positive effects of medications, while reciting every possible adverse effect. The notion of "substituted judgment" (originally
developed by the Massachusetts court to guide decision-making in the case of severely
mentally retarded individuals) is wrong-headed in the case of people with NBD. The goal
should be restoring the ill person to competency, something medication will do in most
cases, and based on his earlier response to anti-psychotic drugs, clearly would have
accomplished in the case of Richard Roe. What the tortuous process (identifying the choice
"which would be made by the incompetent person, if that person were competent, but
taking into account the present and future incompetency of the individual as one of the
factors which would necessarily enter into the decision-making process of the competent
person") amounts to, as psychiatrists Paul Appelbaum and Thomas Gutheil have pointed
out, is simply "the substitution of the preferences of the decision-maker for those
of the incompetent person." In the Roe case, it was the judgment of the state's
highest court whose members were woefully ignorant of the nature of psychiatric drugs and
had obtained their false notions from law journal articles (which they liberally cite)
transmitting the Szaszian notions of the mental health bar to the bench. |
