mike you are pathetic
omg wtf i randomly found this on my wife internet history omg why does she only look at black porn ... omg i feel soo frustrated am i no good?
I wouldn't bang her, my neighbors would be complaining about her noise....
I love seeing a girl being pounded like that - but I love to make girls cum.... tooo many times I have been told I have a"perfect cock" - seems like the ol saying for girls can cross over - "any more than a handful is a waste..." I love to push ALL of my cock inside a girl and have her love what I do with it!
Where are all the honest dudes like me with 6 inch dicks? Eating pussy all the time and getting no complaints, lol.
Lol...comments on porn.
This film proves, that even a guy with 12 in dick cannot give a woman an orgasm!!! The hell, judging by the way she acted, she may have not even experienced one in her life!
i want to suck my 1st bbc. but its gotta be HUGE!
Me too,I'm really tiny and a cool like that would be intimidating but exciting. If I was ever with a black guy I'd want his cock really big too,like ridiculously huge where Idk if it'll fit in my mouth. Only thing better would be like 10 guy's like that. Fuck I'm such a slit and thank goodness for youporn because I couldn't say this on regular social media. I love when one black guy fucks 5 white girls and easily pleased them all,makes me want him so bad

I'm surprised the guy is actually not fainting! Thinking about all this blood rushing into his dick there is not much left to go to the head... I tried once and after he asked if he can fuck my ass I said no thank you. So guys with the smaller ones I honestly think you are very lucky :) not many women can actually take THAT
whatever happened to dredd blackzilla?
Wish it was me getting it in the arse Joe
Ok, seriously? Apparently half the guys watching porn have 10 to 12 inch dicks. I think it's weird considering women's vaginas are 12 inches deep (unless maybe you're fucking WNBA women- and you can have that).
The DIck she sucks isnt the same one that fucks her afterwards, the former guy might have done better.
This bitch looks so stupid, lol.
oh ja wird die kleine gut gefickt von dem grossen schwanz. so ist es gut...
I had a friend with 9.5" and he had a black friend with 12". They both would fuck my friends wife and I got to watch once. She loved it and I was surprised that she could take 12" all the way, just like the girl in the video. This went on for 30 minutes or more and she screamed and fucked them both and enjoyed every bit of it.
i wanna be fucked like that
OMG ich will von diesem Schwanz gefickt werden
rico el sexo muy rico yo quiero hacerlo asi me falta el hombre.
12 Inches thats nothing i get 12inches just by folding my bastard in half once ive got the knot out of it
if i met a black guy with a dick like that i dont know what i would do. i dont even think i could take something that fucking big!!!

@ im horney, I would love to lick your wet pussy. Lets get together.
mmmm that dick looks tasty. id want him to fuck my ass till he cums inside..
She has kind of a Ke$ha look....and she sounds about as fake, too. Just my 2cents worth.
The way he was screaming...I though he might splatter her face completely with man gue....but he only had a quarter nut left......
yea, jenn, i agree!..her body stellar, nice short and thick, with cute feet! she is the full package, i think theyd make a nice couple lol
This guy fucks exactly like me. i love the girl too

Floating Row Cover is rated out of 5 by 9.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beanes from Happy with it so far .. I originally purchased this to extend my growing season in the fall. However, when I planted my broccoli we had a sudden two- or three-week spike in outside temperatures in Sep/Oct. It was way too hot for the broccoli but I used the row cover to keep out the sun and was surprised that it worked as well as it did. The plants did not bolt in the heat and the broccoli produced very well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ann Marie from Solution for Squash Vine Borer After years of trying all kinds of solutions to get rid of vine borer and get a good crop of cucumbers and zucchini, I invested in floating row cover. I planted my seeds and covered the area with the row cover, staking it down at the corners. As the plants grew, I loosened up the row cover but kept the plants covered. This prevented the vine borer from invading my vines. Once we hit mid July (in upstate NY) I knew I was clear and uncovered my beautiful plants. I can reuse it again next year too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mountainme from Really works! I bought this floating row cover because my vegetable seeds were being eaten by birds and any seedlings were being eaten by ground squirrels and I was desperate! I put the row cover loosely over my newly planted wide rows and rocked it down at the edges every three feet. Presto! No more damage from birds and squirrels! My seeds sprouted and my little plants grew without loss. The cover is so light that it just raises up with the plants as they grow but it also lets in the light and water. It also protected the young plants from a late spring frost. When the plants were about 6-8 inches high I removed the cover from the plants and I ended up with a bumper crop of vegetables. Terrific product. I would have had nothing in my garden without it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Angie from Brussel Sprouts protection Although brussel sprouts are a better fall season veggie, I started them very early spring because of the slow growth, but our spring turned to summer too fast, and its been in the 90's for a few weeks now. The sprouts are better now, since the covers are protecting them from the higher temps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Missy from Priceless as frost protection and shade! Here's a trick for deeper frosts... wind an old strand of Christmas lights around your plants, then drape the floating row cover over it, and pin down with garden staples. Don't forget to plug the lights in. The Christmas lights give an extra 10 or so degrees of protection, and the row cover holds in the heat. It also lets in sunlight, so there's no need to rush out and uncover your plants, just to cover them again at night. I boosted my tomato production by draping and pinning this fabric over my cages when the weather topped 95 degrees. It shielded my seedlings from direct sun as I hardened them off. And I wrapped it around wire frames to hide the delicious plants from the chickens as they foraged for earwigs.

Rated 4 out of 5 by drmar1 from Good protection from cold We bought these frost blankets last year to protect our vegetable garden plants from frost in December-January (yes, we do get a hard freeze here in Phoenix!). The blankets worked - for the first time in many years, our bean and tomato plants survived the winter and made it into Spring. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is that the blankets are a bit cumbersome to use and we needed to anchor them with bricks because even the slightest breeze will pick them up and carry them off of the plants. Also, if you aren't careful holes can get poked in the blankets. I'm not sure they can survive more than one season - ours didn't. Otherwise, good product. We are buying a couple more this year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ScooterBug from Easiest Bug Control EVER! I used this years ago and am ordering again! I had a problem with squash bugs eating my squash, cucumbers and melons last year but I don't spray with any chemicals and the soapy water couldn't keep up. This year I'll be ready! This thing really works and lasts a couple of years if I can keep the dogs off of it!

Our IT Manager has brought up a situation where it looks like we have about 5000+ sleeping connections from the Crawl Server to our SQL Server. This seems like quite a bit and it's been slowly creeping up since our database server reboot a few weeks ago, after the machine was patched. So even if we reboot it looks like the connections will come back.
We are running SharePoint 2010 with the Search Service installed, the connections are all coming from the Crawler Server (we split up our Search Service to a few machines to separate the Crawler and Query services).
Anyone else seen this?

Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the television show "Family Guy" and of two other animated series, was excited about making his first movie for several reasons. He thought it would be fun to direct live actors. He was looking forward to being able to shoot scenes from a number of different angles, instead of sending a set of hard-to-change drawings and instructions to a group of animators in Korea. He liked the idea of a sixty-five-million-dollar budget. But, mostly, he hoped that breaking out of the cartoon universe that he has presided over since he was twenty-three might make him stop feeling like Sammy Davis, Jr.
"There's a prejudice against the medium of animation," MacFarlane said to me recently. Although he is the highest-paid writer-producer in television history, he feels it acutely: "I don't care about winning awards, but it'll be nice to do something that is perceived as slightly more significant.
" 'The Simpsons' is a show that outclasses any number of live-action sitcoms, and it has never got any recognition," he went on. "It's like Sammy Davis, Jr., at the Sands. Everyone recognized that he was a great entertainer and an enormous talent, but, you know: Stay out of the casino."
MacFarlane's movie, "Ted," which opens later this month, is an R-rated live-action comedy about a slacker named John (played by Mark Wahlberg), who is stuck living with the consequences of getting his boyhood wish—that his Teddy bear could talk. A companionable state of arrested development is threatened when John meets Lori (played by Mila Kunis, who does one of the voices on "Family Guy"), and she wants the bear out of the picture. The movie hits all the usual MacFarlane marks, with a fusillade of jokes about white trash, Jews, anal sex, and handicapped people.
MacFarlane, who provides the voice of the pot-smoking, foul-mouthed Teddy bear, said that he was taken with the idea of using the cutting-edge technology behind the lush, fantastical worlds of the movies "Avatar" and "Lord of the Rings" in the service of comedy. One of the funniest sequences in "Ted" involves the C.G.I.-assisted spectacle of Wahlberg brutally beating up (and being beaten up by) a bright-eyed stuffed animal.
"Timing is the issue," MacFarlane said. "There's often a disconnect between the live actor and the C.G.I. character—you can usually tell that they were done months apart. It's hard to be spontaneous." MacFarlane solved this problem by wearing a specially designed motion-capture system that recorded his voice and his movements as he directed.
During filming, MacFarlane stood on set and performed the role of Ted, so that Wahlberg could connect with him better. "I wanted Ted to have the same emotional impact as the rest of the characters," he said. "It's hard to do it this way if you're casting a celebrity voice. If you have Ian McKellen, you're not going to get him on the set every day." And if you had Ian McKellen it's hard to imagine getting him to say the line "You could put the ring in her ass and let her fart it out."
Lately, MacFarlane has had to cope with the consequences of having his own wishes come true. The financial success of "Family Guy" has made it possible for him to do whatever he likes, and he has spent the past few years working his way through a bucket list of professional fantasies. In addition to writing and directing "Ted," he released a solo album of himself crooning American standards, which was nominated for a Grammy last year; he signed on to executive-produce a revival of "Cosmos," Carl Sagan's PBS series from the eighties about the origins of the universe; he agreed to oversee a reboot of "The Flintstones" ("It's like being handed the keys to a very classic car," he says); and he wants to act.
These pursuits raise the question of what will happen to "Family Guy." Last fall, MacFarlane alarmed the hundreds of people who work on the show by publicly musing that perhaps "Family Guy" should have ended a few seasons ago. (His contract with Fox expires next year.) "It's something I've done for so long," he told me, sounding like a man who had married his high-school sweetheart too young. "I was twenty-three when I started it." Arriving at a party in honor of the show's two-hundredth episode, he spotted me and said, "Oh, if I had known you were here I would've pretended to give a fuck."
MacFarlane's television empire is based in an office tower on Wilshire Boulevard, catercornered from the La Brea Tar Pits. One day last summer, he was due at an 11 A.M. table read for "Family Guy." He still writes, produces, and animates the show himself; he's also the voice of many of the characters. And he has been rewarded handsomely: at thirty-eight, he has a contract that pays him about thirty-three million dollars a year.
Table reads are important for animated shows; they provide the writers with a chance to tweak their jokes before the voice-overs are recorded and the visuals are produced by animators. (A director can't ask a cartoon character that's already been drawn to try another take.) That morning, about a hundred people were packed into a lobby outside the reading room—Fox network executives, writers, and voice actors. The walls were painted cheerful cartoon colors, and on them were displayed framed animation cels commemorating the show's most cherished, and often most provocative, moments. There's an image from the episode in which Peter Griffin, the series' bumbling patriarch, appears in fish-net stockings and sings a song telling off the Federal Communications Commission over a montage of the crude plot points for which the F.C.C. has censured the show. (An episode where Stewie, the baby, appears to drink horse semen prompted a deluge of complaints.) "Family Guy" is the Howard Stern of sitcoms. Those who love it regard the show's consistently offensive story lines as a boisterous crusade for free speech. Others view the show's popularity as proof of the debasement of American popular culture.
In the lobby, a thrum of tense murmuring began. Where was MacFarlane? A few executives quietly pressed his two assistants, who offered conflicting explanations ("He left his house forty minutes ago"; "He's not feeling well"). Two hours later, word went around that he was on his way, and people filed into the conference room. At two o'clock, an executive announced that the read had been cancelled. I asked one of MacFarlane's associates what happened. He said that MacFarlane had been dissatisfied with the day's script and was at home trying to fix it.
The next day, everyone was back at 11 A.M. At 11:15, MacFarlane entered and sat at the head of the table. Without making eye contact with anyone, he carefully opened his script. There's something of a cartoon boy about him. He has a wide face, pale skin, inky-dark hair that he styles into a Tintin-like pompadour, and thick, round glasses that recall Sherman and Mr. Peabody. On this morning, he looked a little worse for wear.
"Family Guy" tells the story of the Griffin family and their life in Quahog, Rhode Island. Peter Griffin is a familiar cartoon fool—a blue-collar father with Neanderthalish social views. Peter is married to Lois, a busty lady who patiently endures her husband's antics. They have three children: Meg (voiced by Kunis), an awkward teen whose homeliness is a regular punch line; Chris, a stoner version of his father; and Stewie, an evil genius of a baby who sounds like Rex Harrison and is preoccupied with killing his mother. Rounding out the family is Brian, a talking dog who has literary ambitions (he worked at The New Yorker) and loves to drink Martinis and chase women.
The show's critics complain that it is a less-smart ripoff of "The Simpsons," and MacFarlane acknowledges that Matt Groening was a huge inspiration. But "Family Guy" is much less plot-driven than "The Simpsons": there's a surreal disjointedness to each episode. MacFarlane likes to break from the main story to a series of signature "cutaways," tangentially related scenes that are inserted randomly. (When "South Park," the other bawdy blockbuster cartoon on the air, parodied "Family Guy," it showed manatees creating story lines by poking at balls with ideas written on them.)
This ambling approach is yoked to an aggressive shock-and-gross-out agenda: abortion, AIDS, bestiality, Down syndrome, and rape are favorite comic motifs. Pop-culture references are ladled over everything. Michael Rowe, a former writer on the show, explained, "With the cutaways, almost anything goes; it doesn't have to have anything to do with the story. They come from Seth's window of reference—seventies TV and 'Star Wars' and sci-fi." Seth Green, the actor who voices Chris, told me, "You've got young kids watching our show who weren't alive twenty years ago and are seeing things for the first time as parodies. The first 'Star Wars' they're seeing is our 'Star Wars.' It's so bizarrely meta." One academic critic has credited the show with being "the high mark of pop postmodernism." Six million people tune in every week.
The show is the No. 1 program for male teens, and Fortune has estimated the value of the "Family Guy" franchise at more than a billion dollars. Besides running "Family Guy," MacFarlane is also the executive producer and co-creator of two other prime-time animated shows on Fox: "American Dad!," a spoof of fifties sitcoms; and "The Cleveland Show," which is essentially "Family Guy" with African-American characters.
The script being read at the table that morning, "Friends Without Benefits," was the work of one of "Family Guy" 's few female writers, Cherry Chevapravatdumrong. It concerns Meg's crush on a boy who tells her that he actually wants to have sex with her brother, Chris. When the reading got under way, MacFarlane moved smoothly into the voice of Peter, whose Rhode Island twang he accomplishes by opening his mouth wide and talking out of one cheek: "My daughter is going on a date. Is there a slow-down button on this life thingy?" The room cracked up, and MacFarlane gave a small smile. For the voice of Baby Stewie, he pinched his features and talked through his nose. Oddly, the voice of Brian, the jaded, alcoholic dog, who's convinced that he's smarter than everyone else, is MacFarlane's real voice. He sounded sincere when he read the dog's lines, his facial muscles at rest. When the script ended, MacFarlane disappeared through the door.
Later, I asked him why he'd blown off the reading. "The more mundane explanation is that I don't get vacations," he said. "I once went for fifteen months, working seven days a week, and I put myself in the hospital, just from exhaustion." He said that he keeps stress in check "by not rushing and giving myself a heart attack trying to get everywhere exactly on time." He also offered a less mundane explanation: "It's a regular occurrence for me to step outside my daily activities and contemplate things like the flow of time. We perceive it as moving from one direction to another, but who's to say it doesn't move in the other direction?"
MacFarlane's parents met in 1969 in a health-food store, where Ron MacFarlane, a self-identified hippie, was playing guitar. When Seth was born, in 1973, the family lived in a log cabin in Kent, Connecticut. Ron, who trained as a teacher but worked as a butcher, told me that his son has always been "a little apart from everyone else. There's a side of him that I can't quite get to. He never really liked being hugged or touched."
The TV families that MacFarlane has created—the Griffins, the Clevelands, the Smiths—aren't drawn from his own life. They're amalgams of the TV families he liked to watch while he ate dinner with his family in front of the television. All of his shows center on an idiotic, bombastic father, who bears little resemblance to the quiet, contemplative Ron MacFarlane. Nor did Perry MacFarlane, Seth's mother, who died in 2010, bear much resemblance to the dumb, buxom-mom type who populates MacFarlane's shows. She did have a salty streak, though. One "Family Guy" staffer told me that, once, Seth called his mother on speakerphone from the writers' room and asked her to tell the story of how, when she was a kid, she masturbated a dog. After she told the story, mother and son laughed uproariously.
By the time Seth was nine, he was drawing a weekly comic strip for the Kent Good Times Dispatch. In one cartoon, he showed a man receiving Communion and asking, "Can I get fries with that?" Afterward, he says he got his first piece of hate mail, from the local priest, Father Flynn. The MacFarlane family laughed it off, and young Seth decided that pissing people off was cool. "Any excuse for a priest to write a letter to a nine-year-old boy, right?" he said.
In 1987, MacFarlane enrolled as a day student at the Kent School, where his mother worked as an admissions officer. He liked his studies but said that he was put off by the class division between the liberal faculty and the students. "I was constantly getting into political arguments with wealthy classmates who defended George Bush, Sr., or Ronald Reagan," he said. Seth played the trombone in the school band, and bonded with his father over "Star Trek." (In high school, he built a replica of the bridge of the Starship Enterprise out of cardboard which took up an entire room in their house.)
In his senior year, MacFarlane won his school's top art prize and was accepted to the Rhode Island School of Design. As a freshman at RISD, with his love of classic TV and his fantasy of working for Disney, he stood out. It was the early nineties, and the campus was ruled by brooding arty kids in black clothes, basking in the reflected glory of David Byrne, a former student. MacFarlane wore the same preppy rugby shirt every day.
In Providence, he started doing standup (he remembers doing a crowd-pleasing impression of Bill Clinton in conversation with Scooby-Doo). He felt some pressure from his professors to produce work that was more "alternative." But he didn't want to.
"As far as tapping into deep-rooted angst, I don't know why art has to do that," he told me. "When Sinatra sang a ballad, his heart wasn't breaking every time he got in front of a microphone. He was an entertainer. He was creating an illusory world. And, for me, that was the fun part. I wasn't out to communicate deep-rooted pain, mainly because I didn't really have any. It was always just the self-imposed goal to reach a certain professional level."
By his senior year, MacFarlane had had the idea that would make him rich: a cartoon about a working-class knucklehead and his erudite talking dog. He spent months drawing, cel by cel, a ten-minute short called "The Life of Larry." It starts with a camera pan of an upright piano—a nod to the intro to "All in the Family," the Norman Lear show, which MacFarlane cites as a key inspiration—and comes to rest on a live-action MacFarlane, smoking a cigar. He gives a confident chuckle before introducing the cartoon. "Oh, hi there!" he says. "I'm Seth MacFarlane, associate production coördinating directorial associate managing departmental divisional office supervisor of the international network amalgamation distributor's corporation management organizational association of men who like pussy." He had a lot of insight for a young man who had never been inside a movie studio. __
In the short, we meet Larry and his dog. Larry goes to see the movie "Philadelphia." Sitting in the theatre, he claps his hands. "That's the guy from 'Big.' Tom Hanks! . . . Listen, anything that comes out of that guy's mouth, you know it's going to be a stitch." With Larry's eyes wide, the cartoon pans to a movie screen, and we see Hanks announce, "I have AIDS." Larry shrieks with laughter.
MacFarlane screened "The Life of Larry" at RISD. Mike Henry, a friend who now works on "Family Guy," recalls, "Everyone had a sense of 'Holy shit.' He had the balls to make this Tom Hanks AIDS joke! But the genius is that it's coming from this idiot character, who then gives you license to do anything." The room went wild for "The Life of Larry." After hours of non-narrative student cinema, it was a welcome relief. That year, MacFarlane won an animation prize as well as a job offer from the Hanna-Barbera studios, in Los Angeles.
Several months later, he arrived in Hollywood and went straight to work as an animator and writer for the Hanna-Barbera cartoons "Cow and Chicken" and "Johnny Bravo." On his own time, he continued to work on the characters he'd created at RISD. In 1997, Adam Shapiro, an executive at Hanna-Barbera, arranged a meeting for MacFarlane at Fox. MacFarlane brought a copy of "The Life of Larry," and a pilot script. "I remember saying to Adam, 'Should I put on a tie?' And he goes, 'Oh, for God's sake, no. They'll laugh you out of the office.' "
Fox offered him forty thousand dollars to make a short prototype of a prime-time pilot—"Family Guy." MacFarlane spent the next six months drawing at his kitchen table. With "The Simpsons," Fox was the home of hip animation. But the network had slipped to fourth place, and Fox was eager to recapture the viewers that it had lost to upstart channels like UPN and the WB. Fox wanted a show that was both outrageous and safe. "Family Guy" filled the bill.
It helped that the show was inexpensive to produce. Gary Newman, a chairman of Fox Television, recalls, "Seth was like a lamb being led to slaughter. We were anxious to be more aggressive about our budgeting, because 'The Simpsons' had gotten expensive; and Seth was so eager to please—no pushback." Fox signed a deal with MacFarlane for the first season. He called his mother right away. "Sit down when I tell you this," he told her. "They are paying me a million dollars a year."
"Family Guy" débuted after the Super Bowl in 1999, to an audience of twenty-two million. Fox quickly signed up for a second season. But, for all the show's diehard fans, it has inspired a cadre of critics who are just as passionate. The Parents Television Council has repeatedly cited the program, complaining about material that "depends heavily on oblique sexual innuendo and sexual themes such as incest, bestiality and pedophilia." Ken Tucker, the TV critic for Entertainment Weekly, described it as " 'The Simpsons' as conceived by a singularly sophomoric mind that lacks any reference point beyond other TV shows." MacFarlane likes to settle his scores within the universe of "Family Guy": Peter Griffin once wiped his bottom with a page from E.W. and remarked, "Well, at least that's one problem solved."
MacFarlane isn't particularly reflective about his sense of humor. "There's a fairly broad spectrum of types of comedy that make me laugh," he said, listing Albert Brooks's movies, "Airplane!," and "The Naked Gun." "But, at the same time, if somebody farts in a room at the wrong time, I'll laugh my ass off. And I maintain that that is a healthy, honest laugh. There is room for highbrow and lowbrow, and with 'Family Guy' we try to embrace a balance between the two."
When I asked about ethnic jokes, MacFarlane offered the enlightened-liberal defense—at first. "We are presenting the Archie Bunker point of view and making fun of the stereotypes—not making fun of the groups," he said. "But if I'm really being honest, then maybe there's a part of me that's stuck in high school and we're laughing because we're not supposed to. I don't know the psychology. At the core, I know none of us gives a shit." He went on, "Some people say that stereotypes exist for a reason. I'm in no way qualified to make that determination. But I'm sitting in a room with a writing staff that is in large part Jewish, and those are the guys pitching the jokes."
MacFarlane is not a subtle ironist. "Family Guy" is more opera buffa than oblique social satire. Still, the show is capable of making fun of its own pop-culture formulas. When a student in a children's acting class critiques Baby Stewie's performance by shouting, "You are the weakest link. Goodbye!," he turns on the girl with withering sarcasm and replies, "That is so fresh! . . . You've taken that line and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation! God, what a clever, smart girl you must be!"
On a Monday night last summer, MacFarlane jogged onto the stage of a jazz club called Vibrato, in Bel-Air. He had on a slim-cut Gucci suit and clutched a highball glass full of whiskey. Without acknowledging the seventeen-man band behind him, he grabbed the microphone.
"How're you all doing!" he shouted. A group of middle-aged blond women, holding fast-emptying glasses of white wine, let out a lupine howl from the bar.
Onstage, MacFarlane cut a dapper, if somewhat contrived, figure. Smiling rakishly, he could have been a man auditioning for a part in a Rat Pack movie. "I'm a little under the weather tonight, so forgive me if I sound a little like Joy Behar," he said. "We are just fucking winging it." The band launched into "The Night They Invented Champagne."
The song is one of the tracks on "Music Is Better Than Words," which was released in September. MacFarlane spent more than a year recording it, and, watching him onstage at Vibrato, you got the feeling that the album was the culmination of a lifelong fantasy—like the bar-mitzvah boy who finally gets to perform "Thriller" for a captive audience.
MacFarlane discovered Sinatra in college and was hooked by his stylized masculinity. "I instantly sparked to it because it was accessible, yet very challenging," he said. He couldn't stand the records his classmates listened to. "Nirvana made me want to blow my brains out."
On the stage at Vibrato, eyebrows knit in concentration, MacFarlane looked truly happy. The band was lush and smooth, and MacFarlane executed the songs with bloodless technical precision. Mid-set, he took a swig of bourbon and introduced his favorite song from "The Sound of Music." "This was written after Oscar Hammerstein died," he said. Pause. Long drink. "That's Rodgers and Hammerstein, for those of you who are fucking idiots." He cackled and started into "Something Good," his eyes closed tight, lost in Fraülein Maria's sentimental paean to her captain: "Perhaps I had a wicked childhood. Perhaps I had a miserable youth. But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past, there must have been a moment of truth." At a table near the front, a little boy asked his mother when MacFarlane would do the voice of Stewie.
I met MacFarlane one afternoon at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. He came bounding in wearing a fitted black button-down shirt, designer jeans, and laceless Converse sneakers—the uniform of the successful Hollywood man-boy. He lives up the street, in one of the canyons of Beverly Hills, and he likes the old hotel. "They never get weird with me here," he said. He climbed into a green leather booth, picked up a menu, and ordered an Irish coffee—yes to whiskey, no to whipped cream. After he put down the menu, he looked up to see Mark Wahlberg, the star of "Ted," approaching, in bluejeans and a white T-shirt that showed off his muscles, and with an ACE bandage wrapped tightly around his neck.
"Hey! Mark! How's it going?" MacFarlane said, his deep voice booming.
"I just had a tattoo removal," Wahlberg said. "It's the worst. I'm, like, wrapped up like a mummy."
Wahlberg saw my notebook and was quick to offer an insight about his friend. "First of all, this is the most talented guy in the world, and he's the nicest fuckin' guy in the world," he said.
"I didn't plan this. I swear to God," MacFarlane said.
Wahlberg was getting excited. "He wrote an amazing script! He is, seriously, the fuckin' man. Put that right on the cover. O.K.? It's the truth."
Wahlberg walked away, and MacFarlane picked up the menu again. A smile spread across his face. "I'm going to be a dick and order caviar," he said.
In the past few years, MacFarlane has polished away his boyish awkwardness. When he arrived in L.A., he could have been mistaken for a Boston I.T. guy on vacation. These days, he looks as if he's fresh from Tom Ford's finishing school. Friends trace the metamorphosis to a "Family Guy"-related setback. In 2002, after the series' third season, Fox cancelled the show, citing a decline in ratings. The cancellation created a brief low point in MacFarlane's career that he doesn't like to talk about. He tried to keep busy developing new shows, and he checked in with executives at Fox periodically to see if there was any chance that the show might be brought back—a rare occurrence in TV. But the following year Fox signed a syndication deal with the Cartoon Network, and reruns of "Family Guy" quickly became the channel's biggest hit. In the spring of 2003, Fox released one of the first-ever DVD boxed sets of a TV show, a "Family Guy" compilation. It sold three million copies. Fox executives reconsidered their decision, and in 2005 they brought "Family Guy" back to prime time, with the season première drawing almost twelve million viewers.
David Goodman, a "Family Guy" executive producer, described MacFarlane's evolution. "At the beginning, Seth was happy to have his life be 'Family Guy.' " After the show was brought back, though, he changed. "It was 'Oh shit, my whole life is 'Family Guy.' Let me go have fun and date hot girls." Alex Borstein, who does the voice of Lois Griffin, offered a similar analysis. "Seth had spent so much time in college drawing 'Family Guy,' he missed all the fun stuff," she said. "Suddenly, he started using a stylist, who asked questions like 'What might look better on you than a weird bowl haircut?' "
In a version of the classic revenge-of-the-nerd fantasy, MacFarlane has remade himself into a sort of deity for the young male demographic, for whom his stew of scatological jokes and absurdism is the perfect backdrop for bong hits and surfing the Web. He slimmed down, wore contact lenses more often, and hired a personal chef. He sheepishly confessed that he now works out regularly. "I have a trainer who comes to the house, and we do some cardio, some lifting," he said. "I hate it—I hate every second of it."
MacFarlane often drives an Aston Martin, and he owns a replica of the Delorean that Michael J. Fox drives in "Back to the Future." He recently bought a share in a private jet. He wears expensive clothes, and at all times is meticulously groomed, down to his perfectly uniform arm hairs. In 2004, when People included him in its "Sexiest Men Alive" issue, he seemed embarrassed. Fox sent over a gigantic mirror engraved with the words "Sexiest Man Alive." Jokes were made. But, over time, he became less self-conscious about his personal upkeep. During "Family Guy's" seventh season, a young woman began showing up at the office. Without explanation, she would wheel a large piece of equipment into a lavatory just off the writers' room and wait there for MacFarlane, who would excuse himself and disappear into the bathroom. Several former staff members told me that although everyone could hear the whooshing sound of a spray-tan machine, no one dared make a joke about it when MacFarlane emerged, bronzed and burnished.
He has a more visible public persona than he did in the early days of the show. He pals around with Bill Maher, serves as a regular roast master for Comedy Central, and has become an advocate for atheism. Last fall, he received the Harvard Humanist of the Year award for "his extensive body of work, his active, passionate commitment to Humanist values, and his fearless support of equal marriage rights and other social justice issues."
Sitting in the booth at the Polo Lounge, MacFarlane obligingly answered questions, but he didn't enjoy talking about himself. I brought up his reputation as a ladies' man; he has dated a string of starlets—Christa Campbell, Eliza Dushku, Kate Todd, Amanda Bynes, among others.
"It's exhausting dating several people at once," he said. "It gets tiresome, because people think they have you prematurely figured out." I asked him if he felt that he'd been dating his equals, and if his relationship with his mother had had an impact on his personal life. He laughed nervously. "Uh, not always. I think I've dated women who were like my mom and women who weren't, but"—he paused—"I'm not somebody who has to go home and talk about theoretical physics at the end of a day when I've already been wringing my brain dry." He went on, "I don't necessarily look for an intellectual equal. I'd rather have somebody whose company excites me. That's what my father had. My father and my mother were not"—he cleared his throat—"they were not intellectual equals by any means."
Despite his metamorphosis into a man about town, MacFarlane said that he doesn't care about expensive things. "I'm interested in professional pursuits that I have not had experience with and are therefore a little scary," he said. After almost two decades of doing TV, he found "Ted" to be such an experience. "The Flintstones" reboot had recently fizzled; Fox asked MacFarlane to redo the script that he turned in, and he declined. Still, he said, "I want to keep a hand in both media. A TV show takes nine months; the movie took four or five years. The human life span is finite, so if it takes four years to make a movie you think, Gosh, I could only make x number of movies. There's a lot of ideas out there."
The entrance to MacFarlane's house is protected by an iron gate covered with vines. You reach the house itself, a Mediterranean-style villa, after traversing a long drive, canopied by sycamores and oaks and illuminated by huge plastic torchères that evoke Epcot Center. MacFarlane bought the compound a few years ago for thirteen and a half million dollars. On a clear day, you can see the beaches of Malibu to the west and the towers of downtown to the south. He lives there with a fat tuxedo cat named Chester. He reluctantly gave me a tour, but only after asking politely how long I intended to stay. "Oh, God, what can I show you?" he said, as he strode into his loftlike living room. The floors were dark wood and slab stone. "That's a water wall," he said, when I eyed the trickling water feature that framed the entry.
MacFarlane has put a light footprint on the house; there are only scattered signs of habitation. When I asked him whether there was something special about his sofa—a modish sectional covered with a brown cartoon print—he said no. "It's a decorator's couch. It looks like it should be a valuable antique, but it's really just 2011 tasteless." A wrought-iron chandelier hangs above a dining table, surrounded by twelve chairs. A bar cart sits in the corner next to a beautiful nine-foot Petrof piano, which MacFarlane said he plays every day after work.
In his den, he gestured toward a massive screen. I asked which television shows he likes, and he said that he doesn't really watch TV; he prefers old movies—"Red River," and Hope-and-Crosby pictures. Did he have any cool collections of comic books or action figures, like other comedy writers? He scoffed. There were a few signs of life in the kitchen: two large plastic bins of whey protein sat on a countertop, and on a kitchen island I saw a plastic caddy full of felt-tip markers. Next to it sat a pile of scripts and a photograph of MacFarlane as a child, with a stalk of wheat in his mouth. "At no point in my life since have I had a stalk of wheat in my mouth," he said, breaking the silence. Near the counter was an empty desk. "I've never used it," he said. "Ever since I was a kid, I've always used the kitchen counter."
After ten minutes, I thanked him and prepared to leave. "I guess I could play you a song," he offered, as I made my way out. He sat down at the piano and breezed through a melancholy rendition of "Days of Wine and Roses." Then he showed me the door. ♦

Published in the Montpelier Times Argus, July 17, 2013
To Sen. Patrick Leahy:
Please reconsider your support for the proposed immigration reform as it will lead to further acceleration of our already unsustainable population growth. I am not so much concerned about your desire to resolve the status of an estimated 11 million undocumented persons; the other provisions of the bill, those that invite even more rapid population growth, are sure to make life more difficult for our children. Given our current challenges, wouldn't it be better to address the status of the undocumented while adjusting immigration policy in ways that would stabilize U.S. population growth?
In the past, Senator, you have been kind enough to respond to my concerns. Today, I ask that you consider the current reform proposal in the context of those responses. For example, in June 2009, you wrote: "(T)he population level of the United States is inherent in the discussion of the number of visas that should be issued to immigrants. Other key concerns related to debates over the lawful immigration system are the economy, levels of unemployment, and the potential impact on social services."
I took some comfort in that assurance, believing that you would look carefully at population growth as you guide the evolution of immigration policy. Considering the fragile state of our economy and our persistent unemployment levels, more rapid growth in the workforce can only make it still harder for unemployed and underemployed Americans to find good jobs. In spite of this, the "Gang of Eight" immigration proposal not only prolongs the high current immigration levels of the past two decades but also adds more worker visas.
Some have warned of the so-called population implosion, widely regarded as a threat to the economic vitality of developed nations, but few realize how dramatically the U.S. is out of step with that trend. Since 1980, the population of the European Union has grown by only 10 percent, while the U.S. population has grown by 40 percent, adding 90 million people. Furthermore, under current policy, the U.S. is expected to add another 100 million people by the year 2060, while the EU population will remain virtually stable. The rapid growth driven by current policy, not to mention the still more rapid growth expected under the proposed reform, is not conducive to a promising American future.
In particular, continued rapid population growth will exacerbate the troubling pattern of increasingly uneven distribution of wealth in our country, a trend occurring in lockstep with the rapid population growth of recent decades. Indeed, the current and proposed immigration levels, happily endorsed by Wall Street, are a demographic parallel to the trickle-down policies that the wealthy have implemented under the previous president.
That concern was expressed by Sen. Sanders, who likewise supports an amnesty provision but is not happy with the bill's increased competition for jobs. In a recent interview for The Washington Post, he described increases in high- and low-skilled work visas as "a process pushed by large corporations which results in more unemployment and lower wages for American workers."
On a variety of other issues, rapid population growth makes it more difficult to implement effective and long-lasting resolution of current challenges. We have fallen far behind in our investment in the infrastructure needed to handle this growth. Further growth in unemployment and underemployment will make it more expensive and controversial to implement Obama's overhaul of our health care system. And consider how much our larger American population, so stubbornly wed to a high-consumption lifestyle, will further bloat America's egregious carbon throughput and further alter the climate.
In the correspondence mentioned above, you responded to another question I had about the ideal size of the U.S. population: "I regret that I do not have a definitive answer to your question. Our nation will experience myriad changes in its ecology, culture, and industrial base in the coming decades. These factors and others will influence the optimal population level at those times."
Given that you are currently engaged in an effort that will prolong this growth in the population, pushing it beyond the already expected 100 million more people by the year 2060, should I assume that you have acquired new data about future trends? Do you now know clearly what population size would be optimal for an equitably prosperous American future? Because if you haven't yet found some magic window offering an ironclad understanding of our optimal population size, how can you be certain that we have not already surpassed it?
Mark Powell lives in Worcester.

Any follow up to this story from back in January 2011?
By Scot J. Paltrow
WASHINGTON | Sun Jan 23, 2011 2:50pm EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Federal bankruptcy judges in Delaware are due to hold separate hearings Monday on requests by two defunct subprime mortgage lenders to destroy thousands of boxes or original loan documents.
The requests, by trustees liquidating Mortgage Lenders Network USA and American Home Mortgage, come despite intense concerns that paperwork critical to foreclosures and securitized investments may be lost.
A series of recent court rulings have increased the importance of original loan documents, holding that they are essential for investors to prove ownership of mortgages and to have the right to foreclose.
In the Mortgage Lenders case, the U.S. Attorney in Delaware has formally objected to the requested destruction because loss of the records "threatens to impair federal law enforcement efforts."
The former subprime lender shut down in February 2007. In a January 6, 2010, motion, Neil Luria, the liquidating trustee, asked Bankruptcy Judge Peter J. Walsh for permission to destroy nearly 18,000 boxes of records now warehoused by document storage company Iron Mountain Inc.
Luria stated that destruction is necessary to eliminate $16,000 per month in storage costs as he disposes of the last assets of the bankrupt company.
In the American Home Mortgage case, the liquidating trustee, Steven Sass, has asked Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi to approve destruction of 4,100 boxes of loan documents stored in a dank parking garage beneath the company's former headquarters in Melville, Long Island.

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 2, by Edward Gibbon, [1781], at sacred-texts.com
The numerous army of spies, of agents, and informers enlisted by Constantius to secure the repose of one man, and to interrupt that of millions, was immediately disbanded by his generous successor. Julian was slow in his suspicions, and gentle in his punishments; and his contempt of treason was the result of judgment, of vanity, and of courage. Conscious of superior merit, he was persuaded that few among his subjects would dare to meet him in the field, to attempt his life, or even to seat themselves on his vacant throne. The philosopher could excuse the hasty sallies of discontent; and the hero could despise the ambitious projects which surpassed the fortune or the abilities of the rash conspirators. A citizen of Ancyra had prepared for his own use a purple garment; and this indiscreet action, which, under the reign of Constantius, would have been considered as a capital offence, 68 was reported to Julian by the officious importunity of a private enemy. The monarch, after making some inquiry into the rank and character of his rival, despatched the informer with a present of a pair of purple slippers, to complete the magnificence of his Imperial habit. A more dangerous conspiracy was formed by ten of the domestic guards, who had resolved to assassinate Julian in the field of exercise near Antioch. Their intemperance revealed their guilt; and they were conducted in chains to the presence of their injured sovereign, who, after a lively representation of the wickedness and folly of their enterprise, instead of a death of torture, which they deserved and expected, pronounced a sentence of exile against the two principal offenders. The only instance in which Julian seemed to depart from his accustomed clemency, was the execution of a rash youth, who, with a feeble hand, had aspired to seize the reins of empire. But that youth was the son of Marcellus, the general of cavalry, who, in the first campaign of the Gallic war, had deserted the standard of the Caesar and the republic. Without appearing to indulge his personal resentment, Julian might easily confound the crime of the son and of the father; but he was reconciled by the distress of Marcellus, and the liberality of the emperor endeavored to heal the wound which had been inflicted by the hand of justice. 69
Julian was not insensible of the advantages of freedom. 70 From his studies he had imbibed the spirit of ancient sages and heroes; his life and fortunes had depended on the caprice of a tyrant; and when he ascended the throne, his pride was sometimes mortified by the reflection, that the slaves who would not dare to censure his defects were not worthy to applaud his virtues. 71 He sincerely abhorred the system of Oriental despotism, which Diocletian, Constantine, and the patient habits of fourscore years, had established in the empire. A motive of superstition prevented the execution of the design, which Julian had frequently meditated, of relieving his head from the weight of a costly diadem; 72 but he absolutely refused the title of Dominus, or Lord, 73 a word which was grown so familiar to the ears of the Romans, that they no longer remembered its servile and humiliating origin. The office, or rather the name, of consul, was cherished by a prince who contemplated with reverence the ruins of the republic; and the same behavior which had been assumed by the prudence of Augustus was adopted by Julian from choice and inclination. On the calends of January, at break of day, the new consuls, Mamertinus and Nevitta, hastened to the palace to salute the emperor. As soon as he was informed of their approach, he leaped from his throne, eagerly advanced to meet them, and compelled the blushing magistrates to receive the demonstrations of his affected humility. From the palace they proceeded to the senate. The emperor, on foot, marched before their litters; and the gazing multitude admired the image of ancient times, or secretly blamed a conduct, which, in their eyes, degraded the majesty of the purple. 74 But the behavior of Julian was uniformly supported. During the games of the Circus, he had, imprudently or designedly, performed the manumission of a slave in the presence of the consul. The moment he was reminded that he had trespassed on the jurisdiction of another magistrate, he condemned himself to pay a fine of ten pounds of gold; and embraced this public occasion of declaring to the world, that he was subject, like the rest of his fellow-citizens, to the laws, 75 and even to the forms, of the republic. The spirit of his administration, and his regard for the place of his nativity, induced Julian to confer on the senate of Constantinople the same honors, privileges, and authority, which were still enjoyed by the senate of ancient Rome. 76 A legal fiction was introduced, and gradually established, that one half of the national council had migrated into the East; and the despotic successors of Julian, accepting the title of Senators, acknowledged themselves the members of a respectable body, which was permitted to represent the majesty of the Roman name. From Constantinople, the attention of the monarch was extended to the municipal senates of the provinces. He abolished, by repeated edicts, the unjust and pernicious exemptions which had withdrawn so many idle citizens from the services of their country; and by imposing an equal distribution of public duties, he restored the strength, the splendor, or, according to the glowing expression of Libanius, 77 the soul of the expiring cities of his empire. The venerable age of Greece excited the most tender compassion in the mind of Julian, which kindled into rapture when he recollected the gods, the heroes, and the men superior to heroes and to gods, who have bequeathed to the latest posterity the monuments of their genius, or the example of their virtues. He relieved the distress, and restored the beauty, of the cities of Epirus and Peloponnesus. 78 Athens acknowledged him for her benefactor; Argos, for her deliverer. The pride of Corinth, again rising from her ruins with the honors of a Roman colony, exacted a tribute from the adjacent republics, for the purpose of defraying the games of the Isthmus, which were celebrated in the amphitheatre with the hunting of bears and panthers. From this tribute the cities of Elis, of Delphi, and of Argos, which had inherited from their remote ancestors the sacred office of perpetuating the Olympic, the Pythian, and the Nemean games, claimed a just exemption. The immunity of Elis and Delphi was respected by the Corinthians; but the poverty of Argos tempted the insolence of oppression; and the feeble complaints of its deputies were silenced by the decree of a provincial magistrate, who seems to have consulted only the interest of the capital in which he resided. Seven years after this sentence, Julian 79 allowed the cause to be referred to a superior tribunal; and his eloquence was interposed, most probably with success, in the defence of a city, which had been the royal seat of Agamemnon, 80 and had given to Macedonia a race of kings and conquerors. 81
The laborious administration of military and civil affairs, which were multiplied in proportion to the extent of the empire, exercised the abilities of Julian; but he frequently assumed the two characters of Orator 82 and of Judge, 83 which are almost unknown to the modern sovereigns of Europe. The arts of persuasion, so diligently cultivated by the first Caesars, were neglected by the military ignorance and Asiatic pride of their successors; and if they condescended to harangue the soldiers, whom they feared, they treated with silent disdain the senators, whom they despised. The assemblies of the senate, which Constantius had avoided, were considered by Julian as the place where he could exhibit, with the most propriety, the maxims of a republican, and the talents of a rhetorician. He alternately practised, as in a school of declamation, the several modes of praise, of censure, of exhortation; and his friend Libanius has remarked, that the study of Homer taught him to imitate the simple, concise style of Menelaus, the copiousness of Nestor, whose words descended like the flakes of a winter's snow, or the pathetic and forcible eloquence of Ulysses. The functions of a judge, which are sometimes incompatible with those of a prince, were exercised by Julian, not only as a duty, but as an amusement; and although he might have trusted the integrity and discernment of his Praetorian praefects, he often placed himself by their side on the seat of judgment. The acute penetration of his mind was agreeably occupied in detecting and defeating the chicanery of the advocates, who labored to disguise the truths of facts, and to pervert the sense of the laws. He sometimes forgot the gravity of his station, asked indiscreet or unseasonable questions, and betrayed, by the loudness of his voice, and the agitation of his body, the earnest vehemence with which he maintained his opinion against the judges, the advocates, and their clients. But his knowledge of his own temper prompted him to encourage, and even to solicit, the reproof of his friends and ministers; and whenever they ventured to oppose the irregular sallies of his passions, the spectators could observe the shame, as well as the gratitude, of their monarch. The decrees of Julian were almost always founded on the principles of justice; and he had the firmness to resist the two most dangerous temptations, which assault the tribunal of a sovereign, under the specious forms of compassion and equity. He decided the merits of the cause without weighing the circumstances of the parties; and the poor, whom he wished to relieve, were condemned to satisfy the just demands of a wealthy and noble adversary. He carefully distinguished the judge from the legislator; 84 and though he meditated a necessary reformation of the Roman jurisprudence, he pronounced sentence according to the strict and literal interpretation of those laws, which the magistrates were bound to execute, and the subjects to obey.
The generality of princes, if they were stripped of their purple, and cast naked into the world, would immediately sink to the lowest rank of society, without a hope of emerging from their obscurity. But the personal merit of Julian was, in some measure, independent of his fortune. Whatever had been his choice of life, by the force of intrepid courage, lively wit, and intense application, he would have obtained, or at least he would have deserved, the highest honors of his profession; and Julian might have raised himself to the rank of minister, or general, of the state in which he was born a private citizen. If the jealous caprice of power had disappointed his expectations, if he had prudently declined the paths of greatness, the employment of the same talents in studious solitude would have placed beyond the reach of kings his present happiness and his immortal fame. When we inspect, with minute, or perhaps malevolent attention, the portrait of Julian, something seems wanting to the grace and perfection of the whole figure. His genius was less powerful and sublime than that of Caesar; nor did he possess the consummate prudence of Augustus. The virtues of Trajan appear more steady and natural, and the philosophy of Marcus is more simple and consistent. Yet Julian sustained adversity with firmness, and prosperity with moderation. After an interval of one hundred and twenty years from the death of Alexander Severus, the Romans beheld an emperor who made no distinction between his duties and his pleasures; who labored to relieve the distress, and to revive the spirit, of his subjects; and who endeavored always to connect authority with merit, and happiness with virtue. Even faction, and religious faction, was constrained to acknowledge the superiority of his genius, in peace as well as in war, and to confess, with a sigh, that the apostate Julian was a lover of his country, and that he deserved the empire of the world. 85
68 The president Montesquieu (Considerations sur la Grandeur, &c., des Romains, c. xiv. in his works, tom. iii. p. 448, 449,) excuses this minute and absurd tyranny, by supposing that actions the most indifferent in our eyes might excite, in a Roman mind, the idea of guilt and danger. This strange apology is supported by a strange misapprehension of the English laws, "chez une nation . . . . ou il est defendu da boire a la sante d'une certaine personne."
69 The clemency of Julian, and the conspiracy which was formed against his life at Antioch, are described by Ammianus (xxii. 9, 10, and Vales, ad loc.) and Libanius, (Orat. Parent. c. 99, p. 323.)
70 According to some, says Aristotle, (as he is quoted by Julian ad Themist. p. 261,) the form of absolute government is contrary to nature. Both the prince and the philosopher choose, how ever to involve this eternal truth in artful and labored obscurity.
71 That sentiment is expressed almost in the words of Julian himself. Ammian. xxii. 10.
72 Libanius, (Orat. Parent. c. 95, p. 320,) who mentions the wish and design of Julian, insinuates, in mysterious language that the emperor was restrained by some particular revelation.
73 Julian in Misopogon, p. 343. As he never abolished, by any public law, the proud appellations of Despot, or Dominus, they are still extant on his medals, (Ducange, Fam. Byzantin. p. 38, 39;) and the private displeasure which he affected to express, only gave a different tone to the servility of the court. The Abbe de la Bleterie (Hist. de Jovien, tom. ii. p. 99-102) has curiously traced the origin and progress of the word Dominus under the Imperial government.
74 Ammian. xxii. 7. The consul Mamertinus (in Panegyr. Vet. xi. 28, 29, 30) celebrates the auspicious day, like an elegant slave, astonished and intoxicated by the condescension of his master.
75 Personal satire was condemned by the laws of the twelve tables: Si male condiderit in quem quis carmina, jus est Judiciumque -
Horat. Sat. ii. 1. 82.
Julian (in Misopogon, p. 337) owns himself subject to the law; and the Abbe de la Bleterie (Hist. de Jovien, tom. ii. p. 92) has eagerly embraced a declaration so agreeable to his own system, and, indeed, to the true spirit of the Imperial constitution.
76 Zosimus, l. iii. p. 158.
77 See Libanius, (Orat. Parent. c. 71, p. 296,) Ammianus, (xxii. 9,) and the Theodosian Code (l. xii. tit. i. leg. 50-55.) with Godefroy's Commentary, (tom. iv. p. 390-402.) Yet the whole subject of the Curia, notwithstanding very ample materials, still remains the most obscure in the legal history of the empire.
78 Quae paulo ante arida et siti anhelantia visebantur, ea nunc perlui, mundari, madere; Fora, Deambulacra, Gymnasia, laetis et gaudentibus populis frequentari; dies festos, et celebrari veteres, et novos in honorem principis consecrari, (Mamertin. xi. 9.) He particularly restored the city of Nicopolis and the Actiac games, which had been instituted by Augustus.
79 Julian. Epist. xxxv. p. 407-411. This epistle, which illustrates the declining age of Greece, is omitted by the Abbe de la Bleterie, and strangely disfigured by the Latin translator, who, by rendering tributum, and populus, directly contradicts the sense of the original.
80 He reigned in Mycenae at the distance of fifty stadia, or six miles from Argos: but these cities, which alternately flourished, are confounded by the Greek poets. Strabo, l. viii. p. 579, edit. Amstel. 1707.
81 Marsham, Canon. Chron. p. 421. This pedigree from Temenus and Hercules may be suspicious; yet it was allowed, after a strict inquiry, by the judges of the Olympic games, (Herodot. l. v. c. 22,) at a time when the Macedonian kings were obscure and unpopular in Greece. When the Achaean league declared against Philip, it was thought decent that the deputies of Argos should retire, (T. Liv. xxxii. 22.)
82 His eloquence is celebrated by Libanius, (Orat. Parent. c. 75, 76, p. 300, 301,) who distinctly mentions the orators of Homer. Socrates (l. iii. c. 1) has rashly asserted that Julian was the only prince, since Julius Caesar, who harangued the senate. All the predecessors of Nero, (Tacit. Annal. xiii. 3,) and many of his successors, possessed the faculty of speaking in public; and it might be proved by various examples, that they frequently exercised it in the senate.
83 Ammianus (xxi. 10) has impartially stated the merits and defects of his judicial proceedings. Libanius (Orat. Parent. c. 90, 91, p. 315, &c.) has seen only the fair side, and his picture, if it flatters the person, expresses at least the duties, of the judge. Gregory Nazianzen, (Orat. iv. p. 120,) who suppresses the virtues, and exaggerates even the venial faults of the Apostate, triumphantly asks, whether such a judge was fit to be seated between Minos and Rhadamanthus, in the Elysian Fields.
84 Of the laws which Julian enacted in a reign of sixteen months, fifty-four have been admitted into the codes of Theodosius and Justinian. (Gothofred. Chron. Legum, p. 64-67.) The Abbe de la Bleterie (tom. ii. p. 329-336) has chosen one of these laws to give an idea of Julian's Latin style, which is forcible and elaborate, but less pure than his Greek.
85 . . . Ductor fortissimus armis;
Conditor et legum celeberrimus; ore manuque Consultor patriae; sed non consultor habendae Religionis; amans tercentum millia Divum. Pertidus ille Deo, sed non et perfidus orbi.
Prudent. Apotheosis, 450, &c.
The consciousness of a generous sentiment seems to have raised the Christian post above his usual mediocrity.
