Our apologies for the awkward silence over the past two days -- we had a pretty severe database problem on the server, but amazingly recovered without loss of data... We just had to turn comments off for about 36 hours while we figured things out.

FYI, the entries for our Cry-Baby Ticket Giveaway were always safe and unaffected -- they live in a different database.

If you run into problems, please don't hesitate to let us know.

We found the great photo of one of our new favorites at We Love Guys. We posted some other photos of him recently, as well.

Today in the HDJ Mailbox we got a very nice surprise! Brazilian supermodel Edilson Nascimento (Vision Model Management) modeling some of the hottest underwear fashions for International Jock.

Edilson flew up to California for the afternoon shoot, modeling from the Spring collections of brands like Diesel and Calvin Klein. The folks at International Jock promise much more on their website, so be sure to check them out!

Ya know, some days I just hate my job...

Big Brother Brazil 8 starts tonight, and Made in Brazil reports that a contestant has dropped out at the last minute. The show must go on, though -- and the departure allows this hottie, Rafael Ribeiro (Rafinha) to enter the house.

The non-US versions of Big Brother end up having the most wild moments that show up on television and the web... we hope that this season is no different!
