Those to whom the epistle is sent and its subject
The Epistle of James is not addressed to the assembly and does not take the ground of apostolic authority over the persons to whom it is sent. It is a practical exhortation which still recognizes the twelve tribes and the connection of the Christian Jews with them, as Jonah addressed the Gentiles, although the Jewish people had their place before God. Thus the Spirit of God still acknowledges here the relationship with Israel, as in the other case the relationship with Gentiles, and the rights of God which are unchangeable, whatever may be the special privileges granted to the assembly or to Israel respectively. We know that historically the Christian Jews remained Jews to the end of the New Testament history and were even zealous for the law-to us a strange thing, but which God endured for a time.
The doctrine of Christianity is not the subject of this epistle. It gives God His place in the conscience and with regard to all that surrounds us. It thus girds up the loins of the Christian, presenting also the near coming of the Lord and His present discipline-a discipline with respect to which the assembly of God ought to possess intelligence, and activity founded thereon. The world also, and all that makes an appearance in it, is judged from God's point of view.
The position of Christians viewed with respect to Israel
A few remarks on the position of Christians (that is, on the way in which this position is viewed with respect to Israel) will help us to understand this portion of the Word.
Israel is still regarded as the people of God. To the faith of James, the nation has still the relationship which God had given it towards Himself. The Christians in it are addressed as still forming part of a people whose links with God were not yet judicially broken; but it was only the Christians among them who
possessed the faith which the Spirit gave in the true Messiah. These only among the people, with the writer, acknowledged Jesus as the Lord of glory. With the exception of verses 14-15 in chapter 5, this epistle contains no exhortation which, in its spiritual height, goes beyond that which might be addressed to a godly Jew. It supposes indeed that the persons to whom it speaks have faith in the Lord Jesus; but it does not call them to that which is exclusively proper to Christianity and depends on its privileges. The exhortations flow from that higher source and breathe the more heavenly atmosphere, but the effect they aim at producing consists in real proofs of religion here below; they are such as might be heard in the professing church-a vast body like Israel, in the midst of which some Christians existed.
The epistle not founded on Christian relationships, but acknowledging them among other rights
The epistle is not founded on Christian relationships here below. It acknowledges them; but only as one fact in the midst of others, which have rights over the conscience of the writer. It supposes those whom it addresses to be in a relationship with God, which is known, unquestioned and of ancient date; in the midst of which Christianity has been introduced.
The moral measure of the life presented by the epistle
It is important to notice the moral measure of the life which this epistle presents. As soon as we apprehend the position in which it views believers, the discernment of the truth on this point is not difficult. It is the same as that which Christ presented when walking in the midst of Israel and setting before His disciples the light and the relationships with God which resulted to them from His presence. Now indeed He was absent; but that light and those relationships are retained as the measure of responsibility. And this the Lord's return would vindicate by judgment on those who refused to accept and walk in it. Until that day the faithful were to be patient in the midst of the oppression they were suffering from on the part of the Jews, who still blasphemed the holy name by which they were called.
It is the converse of the Epistle to the Hebrews with regard to their relationship with the Jewish nation; not morally, but
because of the nearness of the judgment when the Epistle to the Hebrews was written.
The fundamental principles of James; the life of Christ, the model for walk while patiently waiting His return
The fundamental principles of the position that we have been speaking of are as follows: the law in its spirituality and perfection, as stated and summed up by Christ; a life imparted, which has the moral principles of the law, itself a divine life; the revelation of the Father's name. All this was true when the Lord was on the earth and was the ground on which (however poorly they understood it) He then placed His disciples. He told them that they were to be witnesses of it, as of all He had said, after His death, distinguishing this testimony from that of the Holy Spirit.
It is this which James teaches here, with the addition of that which the Lord had also said-that He would come again. It is the doctrine of Christ with regard to walk in the midst of Israel, according to the light and the truths which He had introduced; and-seeing that He was still absent-an exhortation to perseverance and patience in that walk, waiting for the moment when, by judgment on those who oppressed them, He would vindicate the principles on which they walked.
Although the judgment executed on Jerusalem changed the position of the remnant of Israel in this respect, yet the life of Christ remains ever our model: and we have to wait with patience until the Lord come.
We have not in this epistle the association of the Christian with Christ exalted on high, nor consequently the thought of going to meet Him in the air, as Paul taught. But that which it contains ever remains true; and he who says that he abides in Him (Christ) ought also to walk even as He walked.
The coming judgment in connection with the world, the rich and the believing remnant; tribulations; insistence on practical evidences of faith
The judgment that was coming makes us understand the way in which James speaks of the world, of the rich who rejoice in their portion in the world, and the position of the believing remnant oppressed and suffering in the midst of the unbelieving nation; why he begins with the subject of the tribulations and so often recurs
to it: why also he insists on practical evidences of faith. He still sees all Israel together; but some had received faith in the Lord of glory, and these were tempted to value the rich and the great in Israel. All being still Jews, we can easily understand that, while some truly believed and confessed their belief that Jesus was the Christ, yet, as these Christians followed the Jewish ordinances, mere professors might do as much without the least vital change being proved by their works. It is evident that a faith like this has no value whatever. It is precisely the faith of those who clamor for works in the present day-a mere dead profession of the truth of Christianity. To be begotten by the Word of truth is as foreign and strange to them as to the Jews of whom James is speaking.
Warning to the mass who called themselves believers and to the individual conscience
Believers being thus placed in the midst of Israel with some who merely professed faith, we can readily understand the Apostle's address to the mass as those who might share in the privileges that existed in their midst; his address to Christians as having a special place in their own; and his warning to those who called themselves believers in Christ. Most easy and perfectly clear is the practical application to all times, and in particular when a mass of persons assume a right by inheritance to the privileges of the people of God. Besides this, the epistle has peculiar force for the individual conscience; it judges the position one is in, and the thoughts and intents of the heart.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it's eliminating 2,300 workers at its Sam's Club division as it reduces the ranks of middle managers in a bid to be more nimble.
The layoffs, which cut 2 percent of the membership club's U.S. employee count of about 116,000, mark the largest since 2010 when the Sam's Club unit laid off 10,000 workers as it moved to outsource food demonstrations at its stores.
The cuts come as Sam's Club strives to compete better with Costco Wholesale Corp. and online players like Amazon.com's Prime membership service. They also follow layoffs announced by several other major retailers in recent weeks that include Macy's Inc., J.C. Penney and Target Corp.
Bill Durling, a spokesman at Sam's Club, says that a little less than half of the cuts were aimed at salaried assistant managers. The cuts are also eliminating some hourly workers. He says that each of the clubs had roughly the same number of workers regardless of how much revenue each store generated.
"We felt this was the right move to make sure we are positioning ourselves for growing in the future," said Durling in an interview with The Associated Press. "We are trying to rebalance our resources in the field to make sure we are investing in the clubs that have the higher growth potential and balancing resources across the chain."
He added that Sam's Club operates 630 units in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. He noted that the unit will be adding 15 or more clubs in the fiscal year starting on Feb. 1.
For the year ended Jan. 31, 2013, Sam's Club generated revenue of $56.4 billion, or 12 percent of Wal-Mart's net sales of $466.1 billion.
Durling said that those workers who received notices will continue to get paid for the next 60 days and will have time to re-apply for opportunities at Wal-Mart or other areas of Sam's Club's operations. After that time expires, they will receive severance.
"We're trying to treat our associates with utmost care and respect," he added.
Wal-Mart is based in Bentonville, Ark.
Shares slipped 3 cents to $74.39 in after-hours trading, after being down 54 cents to $74.42 Friday.

"The inspiration behind the movie "The Final Season", a natural leader who strives to constantly excel and inspires others to do the same."
A teacher, coach, principal, banker and powerful speaker, Kent Stock is also the man who coached the Norway baseball team during their now-famous final season. As depicted in the
2007 film, "The Final Season," the nationally recognized Norway baseball team came together under head coach Kent Stock to defy the odds and win Norway's 20th state title in what would become the team's final season before being forced to merge with a bigger, neighboring school district. This experience and the motivation he used to guide Norway, has given him the insight to develop leaders in organizations across the country. Speaking about how to live your life on a daily basis, Kent's story is a testimony to the power of following your dreams. Many doors in Kent's life have been closed, but it has always been the next door that leads to something greater. Kent is a firm believer in taking risks. He is a natural leader who strives to constantly excel and inspire others to do the same. His magical story will captivate and motivate audiences to think about, "How They Want To Be Remembered!"

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - There's something about the Baltimore Ravens that brings out the worst in Tom Brady.
Against most teams, he plays like one of the NFL's best quarterbacks. Against the Ravens, he gets outplayed by Joe Flacco.
So what's the problem?
Start with the Ravens' inspirational, hard-hitting leader, Ray Lewis. Add a talented secondary led by Ed Reed. And throw in a strong defensive line with Haloti Ngata leading the charge.
They have a lot of playmakers at each level of the defense,'' Brady said Wednesday before the New England Patriots practiced.
It's not like you beat this team, 50-0. It's always a tight game. There's tight coverage. There's tight throws, tough reads because schematically they do quite a few things. So it's never easy.''
He doesn't expect it to be in Sunday night's AFC championship game.
You play against a team like this, that's able to adjust because of their personnel and because they do a lot of things schematically, there are a lot of `what ifs' in preparation throughout the course of the week,'' he said.
That's really what we're trying to hone in on this week.''
Brady is 5-2 in his seven games against the Ravens, not a bad record. But his personal statistics are among the poorest against any of the 31 teams he's faced in his 13-year career.
His 58.6 completion percentage and 74.1 passer rating are the lowest against any opponent. The Ravens are the only team he's thrown more interceptions against (eight) than touchdowns (seven). They've sacked him 16 times, one of five teams averaging more than two a game against Brady.
In five games against the Patriots, Flacco is 2-3 but has completed 64.7 percent of his passes with a 95.7 passer rating. He's thrown for nine touchdowns and just four interceptions.
Brady's 49.1 rating in a 33-14 playoff loss to Baltimore on Jan. 10, 2010 is his lowest in his last 101 games and sixth lowest in his 198 career starts, including the postseason.
For one, you've got a guy (Lewis) that's been playing ball for 17 years sitting in the middle, so that tells you right there that their leadership is one of the best things that they have,'' Patriots running back Stevan Ridley said.
They're known for defense. They're known for Ray Lewis. They're known for Ed Reed.
``You're going to see some of the greats going at it (Sunday night). What else could you ask for. This is what you live for. This is playoff football.''
Some quarterbacks say they establish their legacy with their postseason play.
Brady, winner of two regular-season MVP awards and two more in Super Bowls, has no time to dwell on that now.
I don't really think about any of that,'' he said.
I'm just trying to win a football game this week. I think we're very short-term focused and playing against a great football team that obviously deserves the right to be here. We know how challenging of a team they are.''
The Ravens know how good Brady can be even though he's struggled at times against them.
We've got to play smart. We're dealing with a brilliant quarterback,'' safety Bernard Pollard said.
We have to understand ... the pieces he has around him. He can fire that ball to anybody, and they're going to play their tails off for him.''
The Patriots got off to a horrible start against the Ravens in their wild-card matchup three years ago and Brady was a major factor.
Ray Rice scored on an 83-yard run on the game's first offensive play. Then Brady turned the ball over on three of his first four possessions, leading to 17 points and a 24-0 Ravens lead after one quarter.
They started at the Patriots 17-yard line after Terrell Suggs recovered Brady's fumble, the 25 after Chris Carr intercepted a pass and the 9 after Reed picked off another one.
Six minutes into the game with the Patriots trailing 14-0, the fans booed their hometown team.
I'd have been booing us, too, the way we played,'' Brady said after the game.
Playing the way we played today, we weren't going to beat anybody.''
He next played against Baltimore in last year's AFC championship game. The Patriots won that 23-20, but Brady threw two interceptions and no touchdowns, had a 57.5 passer rating and helped keep the Ravens in the game.
The Patriots took that three-point lead when Brady capped a 63-yard drive with a 1-yard run on the first series of the fourth quarter. But their next two drives ended when he threw an interception then couldn't get a first down when the Patriots got the ball with 2:46 remaining.
They punted and Flacco led the Ravens from their 21 to a second-and-1 at the Patriots 14. But then he threw two incompletions, the first when Lee Evans was stripped of the ball in the end zone, and Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal attempt on the next to last play.
In their most recent meeting, the Patriots led 30-21 on Sept. 23 in the fourth quarter but punted on their last two possessions. The Ravens then scored 10 points in the last 4:01 and won 31-30 on Justin Tucker's 27-yard field goal on the final play.
That was typical of Ravens-Patriots matchups - close with the outcome determined late in the game.
Five of Brady's seven games against them were won by six points or less. Two of the last three were won on last-play field goals. The third was decided when Cundiff missed his field goal attempt with 11 seconds remaining in last year's AFC title game.
They're as good as any team we played this year, better than most,'' Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
We're playing a team that we had a great, great game with earlier in the season. It came down to the last play. We don't really expect much less than that this time around.''
AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in Baltimore contributed to this report.

FASHION STATEMENT— In this April 26, 2012 photo, quarterback Robert Griffin III, right, poses for photographs with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after he was selected as the second pick overall by the Washington Redskins in the first round of the NFL football draft in New York. Fashionistas surely will be tracking the expensive, colorful designer suits, hairstyles (think dreadlocks) and even socks of the draftees as they take the stage after being selected. (Think Robert Griffin III, the Redskins' top pick in 2012, who wore a baby blue jacket, checkered-patterned shirt, purplish tie with horizontal stripes, and burgundy and gold socks. Fashion is one of the things to watch for during the three-day NFL draft beginning Thursday, April 25, 2013. (AP Photo/Jason DeCrow, File)
by Richard Rosenblatt
NEW YORK (AP) — Since 1936, the NFL has picked the best of college football to join the pro league. From the very first pick — Jay Berwanger, who also was the first bust, never playing a down in the NFL — to last year's No. 1, Andrew Luck, the draft has always offered plenty of intrigue for teams and fans.
Here are 10 things to watch for during the three-day NFL draft beginning Thursday night:
How many hugs can Roger Goodell endure from all the burly offensive and defensive players expected to be selected in the first round? Last year, he embraced many first-round picks who took the stage and was nearly hugged into submission by the likes of Fletcher Cox, Dontari Poe and Melvin Ingram.
Will any quarterbacks be taken in the first round? Possibilities include Geno Smith, Matt Barkley and EJ Manuel, but this is far from the glamour year of 2012, when QBs were huge: Luck, No. 1; Robert Griffin III, No. 2; Ryan Tannehill (No. 8); Brandon Weeden (No. 22). The last time no quarterback was taken in round one was 1996 (Tony Banks was a second-rounder, No. 42, by the Rams); the last time only one was taken was 2001 (Michael Vick, first overall) and the last time two were taken was 2010 (Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow).
Fashionistas surely will be tracking the expensive, colorful designer suits, hairstyles (think dreadlocks) and even socks of the draftees as they take the stage after being selected. (Think Griffin, the Redskins' top pick in 2012, who wore a baby blue jacket, checkered-patterned shirt, purplish tie with horizontal stripes, and burgundy and gold socks with the words "GO CATCH YOUR DREAM."
When that will be exactly is anyone's guess. Some analysts have Notre Dame's All-American linebacker Manti Te'o back to being a first-round cinch, even after a great season was marred by a poor game against Alabama followed by the hoax involving a deceased "girlfriend." He did not perform well at the NFL combine, but did better at pro day in South Bend.
Watch for all the beef early in the first round. There's a chance seven of the first 10 picks could be really big fellas. Among them are offensive linemen Luke Joeckel (306 pounds), Eric Fisher (306), Chance Warmack (317), Lane Johnson (303) and Jonathan Cooper (311); and defensive linemen Sharrif Floyd (297) and Ziggy Ansah (271).
A year ago, the national champions had four players picked: RB Trent Richardson (No. 3), SS Mark Barron (No. 7), CB Dre Kirkpatrick (No.17) and LB Dont'a Hightower (No. 25). National champs again, there are five that could end up as first-rounders: Warmack, cornerback Dee Milliner, offensive tackle D.J. Fluker, defensive tackle Jesse Williams, and running back Eddie Lacy.
Every year, a slew of players with family ties to the NFL are draft eligible. This year is no exception, with a few dozen all-in-the-family connections. Among them are QBs Nate Montana (son of Joe Montana) and Jordan Rodgers (brother of Aaron Rodgers), Jake Ryan (son of Pat Ryan), Duron Carter (son of Cris Carter), Luke Tasker (son of Steve Tasker), Kyle Long (son of Howie Long, brother of Chris Long) and Baker Steinkuhler (son of Dean Steinkuhler).
A total of 32 former NFL players will be announcing second- and third-round picks for teams, including newly elected Hall of Famers Jonathan Ogden (Ravens), Warren Sapp (Buccaneers) and Dave Robinson (Packers). Others making picks for their former teams include Deion Sanders (Falcons) and Larry Little (Dolphins).
Houston cornerback D.J. Hayden and South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore.
Hayden was moments from death last November after an on-field collision with a teammate tore a blood vessel off the back of his heart. He was taken to a hospital, underwent lifesaving surgery, and now could be a first-round pick. He ran a 4.33 40-yard dash at Houston's pro day in March, and now he'll wait to see if a team believes his talent and speed is worth the risk.
In 2011, Lattimore tore the ACL in his left knee midway through the season. He returned last year, and in October, the star running back suffered a horrific injury to his right knee against Tennessee — it was dislocated and ligaments were damaged as he was tackled. He had surgery a month later, continued rehabbing, and at South Carolina's pro day recently he impressed NFL scouts so much they applauded after his workout. He says he's confident he'll be ready to play when the 2013 season starts.
As the draft draws to a close Saturday, the fun revs up with the final pick, aka Mr. Irrelevant. As they did last year, the Colts have the honor at pick No. 254. Last year, they went for Northern Illinois quarterback Chandler Harnish (Andrew Luck was the Colts' other QB pick — at No. 1 overall). The last pick will be awarded the Lowsman (opposite of Heisman) Trophy during a weeklong celebration at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, Calif. In 2012, Harnish's first trip to California included golf at Big Canyon Country Club, a visit to Disneyland and parties galore. The founder of Irrelevant Week is Paul Salata, a former USC and NFL receiver. The first Mr. Irrelevant was WR Kelvin Kirk in 1976.

(I am trying so hard to be cool and professional right now.)
(Trying. so. hard.)
Of course, it won't be Sassy (or the rebirth of Sassy, or Sassy 2.0) and nor do we want it to be. For one, you can't try to recreate something that good. For another, while I can read old issues of Sassy and relate, the world has changed a bit in the past 15 or so years, and that whole Internet thing happened, and this world calls for something different. Something that will use Sassy as a point of reference for the whole teen-magazine-that-doesn't-suck thing, and something in which Jane Pratt will take part, but something that is not trying to recreate the other something a bunch of us love and don't want to see copied. And, because I didn't use the word "something" enough in this paragraph, let's all enjoy this Beatles Something video in which John and Yoko walk around in a field dressed like Larry David in a cape:
If you want to be a part, email us. firstname.lastname@example.com, because we haven't decided on a title yet. (Hey, if you have an idea for a title, that would be great, too!) (PS, any submissions sent to my blog email will be deleted.)
Something that would also be great: A sample -- whether you would put the specific sample in the magazine or not -- of your writing of all and any kinds, photos, artwork, whatever you're good at and think would be at home in a feminist, creative, moody-teenage-girl magazine. Be sure to include the sample of your work, your age and location, and some kind of something about yourself. Talk a lot about yourself, please. I can promise no questions about being a team player and why you got fired from your office job. The deadline is Friday, November 19th -- we wanna get moving!
I know these are vague details, and I'm sorry I can't offer up a better picture of what we're aiming for as a final product, but we want to have all the contributors on board from the beginning so the yet-to-be-made decisions are group-made. A few things people have been asking about, though: It is not a full-time job, you can be a guy, you can be any age, and you don't have to live in the U.S. I'm also sorry I can't say as of now when you'll hear back but it all depends on the number of submissions. I have a really good feeling about this.
Exciting, right?

Someone recently asked what you could do with gooseberries. Although I enjoy picking up some gooseberries every Summer I realized that I have never really done anything with them other than just snack on them. Given that gooseberries are tart the recipes that were coming to mind were rhubarb recipes as rhubarb is similarly tart. While going through my rhubarb recipes I came across the rhubarb crumb cake that I had made a while ago and really enjoyed. I figured that gooseberries would work just as well as rhubarb in the crumb cake and I pretty much just did a straight swap and used the recipe as is. This crumb cake recipe may be a bit long but it is pretty straight forward and easy. The gooseberry crumb cake turned out very nicely! The tart gooseberries went really well in the sweet crumb cake and I liked the bit of texture that the seeds provided. Of course a melting scoop of vanilla ice cream went really well with a warm slice of gooseberry crumb cake.
Gooseberry Crumb Cake
- 2 cups gooseberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons softened butter (cut into 8 pieces)
- Rinse the gooseberries and toss with the sugar, cornstarch and ginger to coat.
- Mix the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt and butter in a large bowl.
- Mix in the flour.
- Mix the sour cream, egg, egg yolk and vanilla in a bowl.
- Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture and mix in the sour cream mixture 1/3 at a time mixing in between.
- Pour all but 1/2 cup of the batter into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish followed by the gooseberry mixture and the remaining batter.
- Break the topping into big crumbs with your hands and sprinkle onto the cake.
- Bake in a preheated 325F/170C oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

Top Selling Strollers
As a new or experienced parent, when you hold your baby in your arms, you know that is the best place he or she can be. When you travel with your little one, you want to make sure he or she is guaranteed the same safety and comfort your arms provide in a stroller. Finding the right stroller is key to making your life with your little one a lot easier, and your ride a whole lot smoother. We have collected data and gathered advice from parents to round up the top 10 strollers on the market in terms of comfort and safety for your baby.
The brands we have chosen are some of the most reputable on the market and ensure safety and comfort for both you and your baby or babies. The top stroller brands we have chosen include Baby Jogger, BOB, Britax, Nuna, Stokke, and Uppa Baby.
Baby Jogger carries a wide variety of strollers in different shapes and sizes. Their strollers are such a hit with parents and children that we chose four of them for you. The first is the City Mini GT double stroller for those of you who have two little ones and want to keep them safe side by side. We have also chosen the single version of the City Mini GT stroller, because parents can't get enough of it. With three wheels, it's sleek and lightweight, but if you are looking for a more stable stroller, the City Select is the way to go. However, if you are a fan of the three-wheeled stroller, check out the BOB Strollers Revolution. While it's lightweight, it has big, sturdy wheels that perform in different types of terrain.
Some of the best single strollers we carry are made by
Britax. Here, we feature the B-Ready stroller, as well as the B-Agile. The difference between the two is that the first has four wheels and more undercarriage space for parenting supplies, while the second is ready to be taken out and jogged with. Either way, you can't go wrong with these two Britax models.
If you're looking to take your baby out for a nice stroll on a beautiful, sunny day, the Uppa Baby Vista or the
Peg Perego Team Stroller is the right buy for you. With sturdy wheels, plenty of storage space, and plush fabric for your little one, you will be sure to enjoy your time outside.

30 amazing unsung bassists (in no particular order)
Ronnie Lane
So, in no particular order, what follows is a celebration of 30 of the most influential and talented individuals ever to strap on a bass guitar. The unsung heroes of the bottom end. First up, a man who was a key member of two of England's greatest ever rock 'n' roll bands...
The much missed Ronnie 'Plonk' Lane played some great bass in The Small Faces and the Faces. Check out songs like Tin Soldier by The Small Faces (the bass is almost as big as Plonk in the clip!) and the Faces cover of Macca's Maybe I'm Amazed (see below).
By the way, the beautiful Tony Zemaitis bass that Ronnie played in the Faces is now owned by Bob Daisley (Ozzy, Rainbow, Uriah Heep etc). Bob also has a Harmony H22 bass, the same model that Ronnie used in the early days of The Small Faces. Read about both basses here. As a diminutive genius called Steve Marriott once said, "and now for your delight, the darling of Wapping Wharf launderette, Ronald 'Leafy' Lane!"
Band(s): The Small Faces, Faces
Gear: Harmony H22 bass, Zemaitis
More info: www.ronnie-lane.com
Listen: The Faces - Maybe I'm Amazed
Tommy Cogbill
For this writer's money Tommy Cogbill was the greatest bassist ever. Hey, it's just an opinion. Tommy made his bones laying down the bass on records like Aretha Franklin's 1967 hit cover of Otis Redding's soul classic Respect, the recording of which took place at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Tommy produced even greater work at American Sound Studio in Memphis. Among the sides he cut there were Dusty Springfield's Son Of A Preacher Man, Memphis Soul Stew by King Curtis and two Elvis Presley classics: In The Ghetto and Kentucky Rain. Tommy died in 1982 but man, what a body of work he left behind.
Band: Session ace
Gear: 1959 Fender Precision Bass, Ampeg B-15
More info: soulfulmusic.blogspot.com
Listen: Elvis Presley - Kentucky Rain
Larry Graham
Larry Graham is widely credited as the man who invented electric slap bass, although session ace Louis Johnson has also staked a claim. Graham, who was the bassist in Sly & The Family Stone and his own group Graham Central Station, described his slap technique as 'Thumpin' and Pluckin'.'
When you consider the sheer number of bassists that slap (deep breath: Bootsy Collins, Flea, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller... oh, the list is endless) Graham's contribution to the bass guitar has been huge. Here's a lesson on the art of thumpin' and pluckin' from the man himself and an awesome clip of Larry getting down with his bad self.
Band(s): Graham Central Station, Sly & The Family Stone
Gear: Fender Jazz Bass

Listen: Graham Central Station - Pow
Rick Danko
Rick Danko first picked up the bass when he was playing rhythm guitar in rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkin's band The Hawks. Ronnie fired his bassist then asked Rick to switch to bass. We're compressing the timeline a bit but The Hawks would eventually evolve into The Band, backing Bob Dylan along the way.
The Band's greatest moment was also their last: the concert movie The Last Waltz directed by Martin Scorsese. Shot at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco on 26 November 1976, the movie finds Danko and the band in top form, joined by friends like Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Muddy Waters. Check out Rick's bass intro on Don't Do It.
Band(s): The Hawks, The Band
Gear: Gibson Ripper, Fender Jazz Bass, Fender Bass VI, Ampeg AUB-1

Listen: The Band - Don't Do It
Dee Dee Ramone
Douglas Glenn Colvin, better known as Dee Dee, was the bassist for the original and greatest punk band The Ramones. Along with Paul Simonon of The Clash, and Sex Pistol Sid Vicious, Dee Dee helped cement the white Fender Precision as the archetypal punk bass, even though he occasionally used sunburst and black examples.
Dee Dee was a troubled soul who would eventually succumb to his addictions in 2002 but he continues to inspire legions of kids to pick up the bass guitar. Speaking of which, if this clip of The Ramones blasting through Blitzkrieg Bop doesn't make you want to form a band then go take up playing the spoons or sumthin'. As for the rest of you: Hey! Ho! Let's go!
Band: The Ramones

Listen: The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop (live)
Donald 'Duck' Dunn
Donald 'Duck' Dunn's big moment came in 1965 when he replaced Lewie Steinberg as bassist for Booker T & The MGs. The group, which also featured guitarist Steve Cropper, became the house band for Stax Records in Memphis.
Duck and the boys would go on to provide backing for some of the greatest blues and soul artists including Albert King, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes and William Bell. He's also well known as a member of The Blues Brothers Band; Duck starred in the 1980 Blues Brothers movie alongside his Stax compadre Steve Cropper. While Donald has played some killer lines during his career, one of our all-time faves is his playing on She Caught The Katy from the Blues Brothers soundtrack. Hit it!
Band(s): Booker T & The MGs, The Blues Brothers Band
Gear: Fender Precision Bass, Lakland 44-64 Custom

Listen: The Blues Brothers - She Caught The Katy
Bernard Edwards
We have to say that Bernard Edwards was a surprising omission from your nominations for the 25 greatest bass players of all time.
Edwards played some of the greatest funk and disco bass lines ever recorded. We're talkin' Chic classics like Le Freak, Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), Everybody Dance and of course, Good Times. Bernard's bassline on Good Times was hugely influential in the development of hip-hop. The Sugarhill Gang sampled him on their 1979 hit Rapper's Delight, the first hip-hop record to break the Top 40 in the US. Check out that iconic bassline in its original badass setting below.
Band: Chic
Gear: Music Man StingRay, BC Rich Eagle

Listen: Chic - Good Times (live)
John Deacon
John Deacon played some complex lines on Queen tracks like You're My Best Friend and Don't Stop Me Now. Listen closely and you'll see what we mean. After an early encounter with a Rickenbacker 4001, John settled on the Fender Precision Bass as his main instrument: a '62 sunburst and a '67 model as a backup. He later stripped the lacquer off both basses leaving them with a natural finish.
John has retired from the music business - let's hope he sorted out a decent pension. Let's remind ourselves, if we really have to, what a fantastic bassist he is with some classic Queen. On the bass... John Deacon... he wrote this...
Band: Queen
Gear: Fender Precision Bass

Listen: Queen - You're My Best Friend
Geezer Butler
What... no Geezer Butler in the 25 greatest bass players of all time rankings? You're having a laugh. As the bottom end of Black Sabbath, Geezer invented detuned, heavy as hell, metal bass. There may be faster, louder or even hairier metal players making bowels move involuntarily these days but Geezer kicked the bleedin' door down in the first place.
Although he's played a Fender Precision Bass and a Rickenbacker 4001 in the past, Geezer is currently using Lakland basses: two Joe Osborn Signature models and a Bob Glaub Signature. Next time you're voting for the best bass player don't forget your old pal Terence...

Mark Sandman
Of all the bassists featured in this, er, feature, Mark Sandman of Morphine was perhaps the most unconventional and inventive. He's also sorely missed. Mark's unique approach to bass - he played slide on a two string homemade instrument - in turn gave Morphine their unique sound.
Sadly, Mark passed away in 1999. His passing didn't result in the usual explosion of retrospective interest in an artist's body of work. As it is, Morphine remain one of those bands that people turn each other onto. Let's hope we've done just that here. Incidentally, Waterstone Musical Instruments has produced a Mark Sandman Tribute Bass. We'll take a blue one thanks.
Band: Morphine
Gear: Homemade two-string bass

Bob Babbitt
It's great that James Jamerson has received the recognition that his immense talent deserves but he wasn't the only great bassist at Motown. Bob Babbitt was a member of The Funk Brothers, the Motown studio band, from 1966 to 1972.
Initially brought in to cover for Jamerson, who had developed a drinking problem, Babbitt would lend his talent to stone cold classics such as Tears Of A Clown by Smokey Robinson And The Miracles, Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours and War by Edwin Starr. While many consider Marvin Gaye's What's Going On as a classic Jamerson record it's worth remembering that it was actually Bob who played on the tracks Mercy, Mercy Me, Right On, Wholly Holy and Inner City Blues.
Band(s): Motown session legend, The Funk Brothers
Gear: Fender Precision Bass

Jerry Scheff
Jerry Scheff has played with Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond and jazz guitar legends like Barney Kessel and Howard Roberts. While Jerry famously played bass on The Doors' classic LA Woman, his biggest claim to fame is his role as bassist in Elvis Presley's TCB (Taking Care Of Business) live backing band in the '70s.
The bassist still tours with the TCB band, minus Elvis for obvious reasons. You can find out more at the TCB fansite. Although he used Fender basses with The King, Jerry has his own Lakland signature model. This beautiful looking bass has a pair of Dano style 'lipstick tube' pickups coupled to a preamp. Go here to hear the Lakland do its thing.

Pete Quaife
Pete Quaife, who sadly passed away in June this year, was a founding member and bassist of The Kinks from 1963 to 1969. John Entwistle of The Who cited Pete as one of his favourite bassists of all time. It's easy to see why.
Pete was the engine room of The Kinks; the same role that Entwistle filled for his group. Pete's genius is all over The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, his personal favourite of the albums he made with the band. Tracks like Johnny Thunder and Picture Book showcase the man's talent. While Pete effectively left the music business in 1970 his work with The Kinks marks him as one of the all-time greats.
Band: The Kinks
Gear: Rickenbacker 4001

John Taylor
There were some cracking pop bassists doing the rounds in the '80s... no, really. Maybe you're too shy to admit you like Kajagoogoo but the monster chops of bassist Nick Beggs can't be denied. Then there's John Taylor whose beautifully crafted lines on Duran Duran hits like Hungry Like The Wolf and Save A Prayer still sound the business.
A friend and disciple of late Chic bass genius Bernard Edwards, Taylor now owns his idol's Music Man StingRay bass. Duran Duran are currently recording an album with Mark Ronson. Maybe you couldn't care less. Maybe you still have the lads pegged as some wet teeny bopper band. Well, here's one of John's best bass lines, from back in the day, to set you straight...

Glen Matlock
It's become the stuff of legend: Glen Matlock plays bass, and writes some great tunes, with the Sex Pistols and is then unceremoniously replaced by non-player Sid Vicious who then becomes a punk icon.
Matlock has rejoined the Pistols since for some lucrative touring but we'll always wonder what would've have happened to the band if he'd stuck around a bit longer. Speaking of touring for filthy lucre, the jury's still out on Glen playing in the 'reformed' Faces with Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall in Rod Stewart's place. Say what?! How can it be the Faces without Ronnie Lane and Rod the Mod? That aside, Glen is a cracking bassist and here's an old clip to prove it...
Band(s): Sex Pistols, The Rich Kids, Faces
Gear: Rickenbacker 4001, Fender Precision Bass

Listen: Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK (live)
Stu Cook
The key to the infectious Creedence Clearwater Revival sound is simplicity. Influenced by the rockabilly records that rolled out of Sam Phillips's Sun Studios in Memphis in the '50s, CCR's leader kept his arrangements on songs like Bad Moon Rising and Up Around The Bend stripped to the bone. That simplicity was reflected in bassist Stu Cook's lines.
Cook provided the rhythmic backbone with a booming tone that made its presence felt without getting in the way of the guitar or vocal. CCR's Run Through The Jungle is a perfect example of the man's taste and restraint. Stu and original CCR drummer Doug Clifford currently tour and record under the name Creedence Clearwater Revisited. See what they did there?
Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival

Listen: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Someday Never Comes
Bernard Odum
If you've ever hopped on the good foot and done the bad thing to a James Brown record, you've likely grooved to the bass of Bernard Odum. The Godfather Of Soul's bassist from 1956 to 1969, Bernard played on Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, I Got You (I Feel Good) and many more stone cold classics.
In late 1969, Bernard and most of his bandmates walked out on JB in a dispute over wages. The following year the disaffected group released a righteous slab of funk called Doin' Their Own Thing by Maceo And All The King's Men; led by former James Brown saxophonist Maceo Parker. The album features a cover of Sly Stone's Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin). It's funkier than a two-week old tuna sandwich.

Norman Watt-Roy
Norman Watt-Roy, or Normsferatu to quote his uncharitable nickname, has played with the likes of Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson, a Bad Seed-less Nick Cave and members of Camden Town's finest, Madness.
With respect to all those guys, Norman's finest moments are the basslines he laid down on Ian Dury classics like Wake Up And Make Love With Me and Sweet Gene Vincent (both featured on the 1977 album New Boots And Panties!!). Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick might seem the all-too-obvious pick for Norman's killer moment but it remains a blinding performance 32 years after its release on Stiff Records. Altogether now... 'Two fat persons, click click click...'

Ronnie Baker
Kudos if you didn't think of Open All Hours when Ronnie Baker's name came up. We're talking about session bassist Ronnie Baker here, a major contributor to the 'Philly Sound' of the '60s and '70s.
Using the classic soul setup of a Fender Precision Bass loaded with heavy gauge flatwound strings, Ronnie laid down some of the baddest soul and disco basslines of all time on treasures like Bad Luck by Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes and Jerry Butler's 1968 album The Ice Man Cometh. Look up Jerry's Hey, Western Union Man. It's a doozy. Oh, and in case you didn't know, Ronnie also cut the greatest disco bass line of them all...
Band: Philadelphia session ace
Gear: Pre-CBS Fender Precision Bass, Ampeg B-15
Listen: The Trammps - Disco Inferno
Jerry Jemmott
Also known as 'Fingers' or 'The Groovemaster', Jerry Jemmott has played bass for some of the greatest blues, soul and jazz artists of all time. Folk of the caliber of Freddie King, Nina Simone, Wilson Pickett, Herbie Hancock and George Benson, to name but a handful.
You can also hear Jerry adding his trademark groove to BB King's legendary take on The Thrill Is Gone, featured on his 1969 album Completely Well. Incidentally, Jemmott co-wrote the album's opening track, So Excited, with King. While his CV is clearly bulging with barely contained greatness, some of Jerry's finest grooves are to be found on the recordings he made with The Queen Of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Prepare yourself for an epic performance...

Mary Huff
Mary Huff is the bassist/vocalist of Southern Culture On The Skids, the greatest live band you haven't experienced yet. While the band's discography is fit to burst with choice examples of Huff's bass chops, her brilliant slippin' and slidin' line on Cheap Motels (from 2000's Liquored Up And Lacquered Down) is a great place to start.
In other news, 1995's Dirt Track Date and 2004 release Mojo Box are this writer's essential album picks for sizzling Mary moments. Recently released long player The Kudzu Ranch also contains its fair share of gems and is a cracking way to kick off a SCOTS obsession. We just bought it. It's killer. So is this...

Horace Panter
The English 2 Tone ska scene of '79 was bursting at the seams with great bassists: Charley Anderson of The Selecter, Mark Bedford of Madness and The Beat's David Steele spring instantly to mind. At the top of the 2 Tone tree is Horace Panter (aka Sir Horace Gentleman) of The Specials.
From his skeletal dub-like lines on the band's greatest single Ghost Town (1980) to the frenzied funk of Nite Klub (featured on the 1979 debut album Specials), Panter showcased a ska style that was hugely adaptable yet instantly recognisable. Horace is currently performing with the reformed Specials. A Gibson Thunderbird takes the place of the Fender basses he played back in the day.

Tom Evans
Tom Evans co-wrote the Badfinger classic Without You with the band's vocalist/guitarist Pete Ham. While the song has been covered by Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey, the original Badfinger version has a beautiful, fragile quality that those artists could never hope to get close to. Evan's bassline on the song's intro is a thing of beauty.
As a bassist, Tom had a melodic sensibility in common with Paul McCartney (Baby Blue and Day After Day provide further evidence). Badfinger had close ties with The Beatles having been signed to Apple Records; Macca wrote the 1969 Badfinger single Come And Get It. A veil of tragedy hangs around the legacy of Badfinger. You can read about that stuff elsewhere. We'd prefer to remember them as a great rock band with a beautifully melodic bassist.

David Steele
David Steele was the bassist in two of the best known bands of the '80s, The Beat (aka The English Beat) and Fine Young Cannibals. Steele was an adaptable player, always coming up with the perfect part to drive a song.
For evidence, compare his approach to the bass lines on The Beat classics Mirror In The Bathroom and Too Nice To Talk To and the 1985 debut Fine Young Cannibals single, Johnny Come Home. The Fine Young Cannibals have long since split and David hasn't taken part in any of the reformed Beat lineups. His most recent project is Fried, a soul tinged duo with American singer Jonte Short. The bass playing is as strong as ever.

Matt Freeman
Matt Freeman of Rancid is the John Entwistle of punk rock. The guy is a real one-off; in musicianship terms about as far away from the archetypal punk bassist as it's possible to get.
Freeman can rip blistering runs from his bass - his live solos are the stuff of legend - or come up with a solid ska bass line just like he played on Up To No Good on the 2009 Rancid album, Let The Dominoes Fall. To hear Matt in truly blistering form try to find the Rancid cover of Sham 69's If The Kids Are United. The bass intro is incredible. Just like the solo in Maxwell Murder in fact...

Bruce Foxton
It warmed the cockles of many an old Jam fan's heart to see Bruce Foxton and Paul Weller reconcile and then record together after almost 30 years.
With all the bad vibes seemingly consigned to history, Weller invited Foxton to play on a couple of tracks on his 2010 album Wake Up The Nation. The pick of the litter is the explosive Fast Car/Slow Traffic, a glimpse at what The Jam might have sounded like if they'd burst onto the scene in the noughties. It's also a neat reminder of the fact that Bruce has lost none of the fire he brought to Jam classics like Going Underground and Eton Rifles. The less said about 'From The Jam' however, the better...

Chuck Rainey
In addition to playing bass for the likes of Steely Dan, Joe Cocker, Donald Fagen and Aretha Franklin, session ace Chuck Rainey also recorded the bass lines for TV themes like The Rockford Files. Hawaii Five-0 and Charlie's Angels.
Chuck's list of credits reads like War & Peace... the extended edition. Among his many top sessions he played the bass on Louis Armstrong's 1968 classic What A Wonderful World. He's also been involved in recording sessions for countless TV and radio ads.
Like other session legends he recorded his early sides with a Fender Precision Bass, in Chuck's case a '57 model, fitted with flatwound strings. If you fancy a '50s-style P-Bass like Chuck's, check out our review of the Fender Road Worn Series. Badass.

Mark Bedford
Mark Bedford is the criminally underrated bassist with one of the greatest English bands of all time... Madness. To some, Madness will always be The Nutty Boys, banging out '80s classics like Baggy Trousers and House Of Fun, wearing sunglasses indoors etc.
The fact is the band released its greatest album only last year. Big words but the quality of the songwriting and performances on The Liberty Of Norton Folgate hold up to close scrutiny... and a fair bit of dancing. Bedder's well-constructed lines on the album, and singles like NW5 and Dust Devil, are typically inventive and solid. Just like he played on Madness sides like My Girl, Our House and this early cracker...

Lee Rocker
Stray Cat Lee Rocker took inspiration from bull bass pioneers like Bill Haley & His Comets' bassist Marshall Lytle and Elvis Presley sideman Bill Black and developed a nitro-fuelled style that inspired countless others to follow in his brothel creeper-clad footsteps.
Here's a short lesson with the man himself. For more inspiration listen to classic Cat cuts like Rock This Town, Stray Cat Strut and Lee's excellent solo record, Black Cat Bone. There are some amazing upright slappers on the rockabilly scene - John 'Spaz' Hatton of The Brian Setzer Orchestra springs to mind - but Lee Rocker is still the daddy-o...

Andy Rourke
Another criminally underrated bassist. While singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr bagged the lion's share of attention in The Smiths, let's not forget the band had a brilliant rhythm section in the shape of drummer Mike Joyce and bassist Andy Rourke.
Andy provided some stunning basslines for perfect pop moments like Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now; even if you don't care for Morrissey's warbling you have to love that beautiful bass. Up until recently Rourke was a member of Freebass, a three bass player lineup (geddit?) that included Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order and Mani from Primal Scream. The three bass thing is nothing new. Spinal Tap beat 'em to it with ode to mudflaps Big Bottom.

About The Regenerative Air System
The REGENERATIVE AIR SYSTEM means that all the debris from the surface goes into the hopper. Fines are removed with the centrifugal dust separator and cleaned air blasts the surface again. This airtight design delivers high performance efficiency for all sweeping applications.
1. The closed-loop REGENERATIVE AIR SYSTEM uses the force of a high velocity controlled jet of air created by the powerful blower wheel.
2. This jet of air blasts down and across the pick-up head onto the pavement and into the cracks forcing up into the air stream packed-on heavy debris as well as fine dust particles.
3. The debris-laden air stream is pulled into the large hopper, where the air loses velocity and the larger debris falls to the bottom. A screen at the top of the hopper prevents items such as leaves,
paper, cans and rocks from leaving the hopper and entering the centrifugal dust separator.
4. The patented centrifugal dust separator spins the air along the curved wall of the chamber until the micron-size dust particles are skimmed off into the hopper. Only clean air is returned to the blower to start the Regenerative Air cycle again. This closed-loop system means no dirty air is exhausted into the environment only to settle on the surface again.
Because of findings that potential pollutants adhere to the micron-size dust particles that settle in pavement cracks, proper cleaning is more important than ever for today's industries. Sweeping can create benefits such as, aesthetic beauty, preventive maintenance of roadways, safety and reduced air pollution.

Chris Brown charged with assault in DC – police
WASHINGTON – Chris Brown was arrested early Sunday in Washington, D.C., after a fight broke out near the W Hotel, police said, complicating an already snarled legal history for the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer.
Brown, 24, was charged with felony assault in an incident that started just before 4:30 a.m., D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said Sunday morning. Chris Hollosy, 35, also was arrested on felony assault charges, Metcalf said. Police believe the two men were together during the incident but said they couldn't confirm any relationship between the suspects.
"There was a physical altercation, which resulted in the victim sustaining injuries," Metcalf said.
Brown and Hollosy were being held in police custody until Monday, Metcalf said.
A man was injured in the fight and reportedly taken to a hospital, police said, but they did not identify him or give details on his injuries. It was not clear whether the victim was taken by ambulance or another vehicle. He had been released from the hospital as of early Sunday afternoon, Metcalf said.
The felony charges in the case were based, in part, on the extent of the victim's injuries, police said.
Brown's publicists and attorney, Mark Geragos, did not immediately respond to messages left early Sunday.
Brown was in Washington to perform Saturday night at an event billed as a "Homecoming Weekend" party at a downtown club. He tweeted about the party Saturday. Howard University spokeswoman Kerry-Ann Hamilton said Sunday that the party was not sponsored or affiliated with the school, which is celebrating its homecoming.
Brown remains on probation for the 2009 beating of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Rihanna just before the Grammy Awards. The photos of Rihanna's bruised face caused outrage among many fans. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault as part of a plea deal and received five years' probation.
His probation was revoked briefly earlier this year after a hit-and-run incident, and he was given 1,000 more hours of community service to perform. Prosecutors also accused the singer of failing to perform his original community labor sentence of 1,400 hours as instructed.
Brown, who lives in Los Angeles and is originally from Virginia, has been involved in a number of incidents since the 2009 arrest. He was initially sued for a nightclub brawl that allegedly erupted between his entourage and that of musician Drake, at the time believed to be a paramour of Rihanna.
Brown's arrest could prompt Los Angeles prosecutors to seek a revocation of his probation for the Rihanna beating and ask a judge to impose additional penalties on the singer, including time in jail or prison.
Brown is due back in court Nov. 20 in Los Angeles to update a judge on his probation.
Steve Cron, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, said prosecutors and a judge may wait to see how the Washington case plays out before taking any action against Brown.
"Just the fact that some guy says 'he hit me' doesn't mean he's in violation" of his probation, Cron said.
The potential penalties would depend on the exact wording of Brown's sentence, he said.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New dragons are added regularly!
Gemshard Dragons are small, gregarious, expressive easterns, living in large clans high in the jungle canopy. Their bodies are covered in tiny, gem-like scales that shimmer in direct light, and each dragon has a unique pattern of markings on the forked spade of its tail. Though Gemshard Easterns cannot fly, they often leap from springy branches high into the sky on sunny days and perform acrobatic spins and twirls to entertain themselves. When the weather turns foul, they pile up together on sturdy tree limbs and interlock the forks of their tails with others to keep warm and dry.
Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Mark Steyn is particularly amusing lashing at what WaPo's Howard Kurtz has to say about the McCain campaign trying to manipulate the media. Power Line has something to say too.
I'd say something about it myself too, but I simply haven't got the time this morning. Please carry on without me.
The McCain camp has already accused the MSM of trying to "destroy" the governor of Alaska. So any challenge to her record or her veracity can now be cast as the product of an oh-so-unfair press. Which, needless to say, doesn't exactly please reporters.....
As for the sudden insistence that Palin is a delicate flower who must be shielded from harsh rhetoric, take this example.
The lipstick imbroglio is evidence that the Drudge/Fox/New York Post axis can drive just about any story into mainstream land. Does anyone seriously believe that Barack Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig? What about the fact that McCain has used "lipstick on a pig" before? What about the book by that title by former McCain aide Torie Clarke? Never mind: get the cable bookers to line up women on opposite sides of the lipstick divide and let them claw at each other!
And Howard... "line up women on opposite sides of the lipstick divide and let them claw at each other..." Now, you're using the image of the catfight! You're trying to say that Obama didn't mean to refer to a pig, and you're clearly referring to cats and doing so in a way that is traditionally used to diminish women.
Ah, enough of this for now.
