Virgin Blue Opens Townsville Service As The Low Fare Gateway To Northern Queensland15/02/2001
Virgin Blue announced today that it will commence daily service between Brisbane and Townsville on March 15, bringing consistent low fares to North Queensland for the first time.
To celebrate the launch of its first regional service to this key business and tourism gateway, Virgin Blue is offering a special $99 one way fare for every seat in March on any booking made on the net prior to the first Brisbane -Townsville departure on March 15.
From April, Virgin Blue will offer its "fair fares" with minimal restrictions from $119 continuing its tradition of slashing airfares by more than half of what other carriers have charged.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Officer, Brett Godfrey, said today, "We are thrilled to be venturing into North Queensland and servicing the regional travel needs of our home state. Regional customers have had to pay through the nose to cover the costs of the discounting on the East Coast trunk routes. Virgin Blue plans to bring low fares to every route we fly including many regional centres, so the big guys will have to look elsewhere for their profits."
Brett Godfrey added, "When we started the airline Richard (Virgin Group Chairman Richard Branson) made a promise to look beyond the big cities. Townsville is the first of what we hope will be many regional destinations and this service is a small step in showing our appreciation for the tremendous support we have received from the people of Queensland."
While Townsville heralds Virgin Blue's entry into Northern Queensland, Brett Godfrey emphasized the airline is looking at a number of regional destinations, both in Queensland and other parts of Australia.
Brett continued "Regional centres are in many ways more attractive than the big cities. We believe that people in places like Townsville are more focused on getting good value and genuinely friendly service, the two key areas where Virgin believes it beats the big airlines hands down. Whether people are travelling for business or pleasure, most are happy to forgo airline lounges and reheated meals on a short flight in order to have more money in their pocket when they arrive at their destination."
Virgin Blue will initially operate a midday return service between Brisbane and Townsville, and the airline plans to offer connecting flights to the Southern Capitals as well as additional frequencies in the near future.
Since its start-up six months ago, Virgin Blue has focused on major cities as well as routes that have been ignored by the big airlines, resulting in growth ranging from 20% to as much as 100% wherever they have flown.

Skip to comments.Allen West on Bill Cosbys pro-Muslim post: Are you crazy?
Posted on 06/11/2013 10:04:38 AM PDT by jazusamo
Former Floridian Rep. Allen West had a blunt response to comedian Bill Cosbys published weekend opinion piece, speaking of the attributes of Muslims and encouraging Americans to emulate them: Have you lost your mind?
Bill Cosby said we should [be] more like Muslims, Mr. West wrote, on his Twitter account. [You] mean honor killings, beheadings, suicide bombings? Hope [youre] kidding sir.
Mr. West was responding to an opinion piece published in The New York Post written by Mr. Cosby.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Disappointed in Cosby, but not surprised.
Cosby used to be a comic, until he turned comical...
Emulate FGM, too, Bill?
Just another indication of how far this nation has skipped along the path to total pansy ville.
Hey hey heey! If you cut off others' heads that's okaaay. I'm not gonna judge your waaay.
Since his anti white rant a while back over his son, he's been nothing but human garbage to me.
Donald says,
"Hey Ba-Beel, what the heck hab you been smokin man-bee?"
What's kind of amusing is that Cosby was specifically talking about the black American Muslims. Meanwhile, the Sunni and Shiite sects that make up most of the Islamic world don't even consider the Nation of Islam to be legitimate Muslims.
Kinda sounds like Cosby's mind is a little scrambled, claims to be a Christian but says Muslims do it better.
Yes, Cosby's mind and soul are lost... to suggest such a thing shows the depravity of the soul of a man without Jesus Christ. If he is a total secularist, and I believe he is, he can't suggest that people should behave more like Jesus Christ, for to do so would put the burden of conviction in his soul to do likewise, and most secularists despise the thought. But to suggest that people should emulate muslims puts no burden of conviction in his soul because Islam is a false religion and he can continue in his secular ways... that is until the sword of Islam is hung above his neck, at which time he himself will have no problem becoming a muslim.
"...speaking of the attributes of Muslims and encouraging Americans to emulate them: Have you lost your mind?"
This is your brain.
This is your brain on Jell-O.
Bill Cosby: "...Wed be a better world if we emulated them."
Well to his credit, the black American Muslims tend to be much less violent than the inner city populations. Perhaps a car bomb or beheading here or there, but the thousands of annual Chicago homicide victims are probably not being killed by American black Muslims.
Bill Cosby: ...Wed be a better world if we emulated them.
Senile Dementia.
"Tell Bill I said to have a Coke and a smile and STFU!"
I loved Cosby growing up, and I still do....but he's gone off the rails since Ennis was murdered.
The man is in his mid-80s and obviously suffering from some form of dementia.
Bill, is talking about American Black Fake Muslims........
Hey Bill..Tawana needs more of your money
"Cosby used to be a comic, until he turned comical..."
Cosby's humor once was universal, starting with "Why is There Air?" and later attained its zenith with the Huxtables. And the entire nation reached out to him with the tragic death of his son.
Then something happened, in the mid 1980's. Cosby began taking himself and his Ed.D. degree much more seriously. He supported Al Sharpton in the Tawana Brawley fraud of 1987 & still does. His public statements became much more race-specific and now culminate with the NOI endorsement.
IMO, it sounds like the paid leadership which had been needling Cosby for years for "forgetting where you came from" finally ensnared him in their deadly embrace. Cosby could have maintained his influence on entertainment & the culture across all ethnicities & groups, but instead he has been drawn back into the invisible clutches of `da hood'.
The rest of nonblack America can only bid him a sad farewell.
I loved Cosby, in the early 60s; he is a classic.
Sooner or later we must cut all old folks some slack. With few exceptions, senility and cynicism (and occasionally megalomania) take their toll, and railing against them is not very charitable. None of is guaranteed immunity from the inevitable descent into "that dark night."
I prefer to remember the genius, the performer, who gave us (and continues to give us) the pleasure of his unique gift.
Perfect lols!
It's strange how many Blacks who convert to islime do so because they see Christianity as the religion of those who owned their ancestors. So they embrace the religion of those who SOLD their ancestors. And in many cases still own some of their brethren in parts of Africa. This is their idea of "getting over" on Whitey?
And, please be aware that Arab Muslims are demographically categorized as "white" or "caucasian".
And...the POTUS has a direct relationship thru his Father.
I think his downfall began when his son was murdered.
"The man is in his mid-80s and obviously suffering from some form of dementia."
Cosby is only 75 (born 1937). Since his son died he has been saying some goofy things.
"The man is in his mid-80s and obviously suffering from some form of dementia."
AGS — Andy Griffith Syndrome.
He needs to stick a Pudding Pop in his pie hole.
Islam is a curse; but that does not mean that everything that Muslims say or do is wrong. Muslims could rightfully criticize us, for example,for abortion on demand, mandating parent-free birth control for 14 year olds, and teaching the gay agenda in our public schools.
Partly why I do not watch "The Cosby Show" reruns anymore.
Anyway, a couple of videos:
Ursalina. A Cosby composition, with one of my favourite players, David Murray on tenor, the late Sonny Sharrock on guitar, the late Don Pullen on piano, Mark Egan on bass, and Al Foster on drums.
And this is just hilarious: Gig with Sonny Stitt
I agree, it is too bad, he's provided countless hours of entertainment, good entertainment.
Thanks for the links.
That's all well and good that they don't drink, and take care of their families, but these dudes hate white people and Jews with a passion.
They probably won't cut your head off, but good grief. They are not much better in the hate department than the Klan.
And one doesn't cross them, ever.
Look at Malcolm X. He wanted to be a real Muslim, and once he found out about Elijah Muhammed's real proclivities and corruption, he left the group and spilled the beans.
Guess what happened?

Canada's Tammy Mahon leads pro club to Greek league title
Championship match close to public due to past violence
ATHENS – Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man., captain of Canada's national women's volleyball team, completed an unforgettable experience in her first season in the Greek pro league this past week.
Mahon led Panathinaikos to its seventh consecutive Greek title defeating arch rivals Olympiacos in three straight sets. Both squads are based in Athens. After a spectator was killed last season in a fight during a match, spectators were banned from the encounters between the two teams this year.
''They only allowed schoolchildren, family and other people you could trust,'' said Mahon. ''When you play over here you get whole new meaning for the word fanatic. It was a bit scary at first with police escorts and special instructions when we arrived at venues.''
Despite the unusual situations, Mahon, the only Canadian in the 12-team league, sparkled. She was named the championship match MVP scoring 11 points and one ace.
''It was one of the best pro seasons of my career,'' said Mahon, who played last season in Baku, Azerbaijan. ''I was consistently strong throughout the season. How many points a team scored was crucial in the standings and that was a lot of pressure on me and I felt I never let down.''
Mahon is scheduled to return home on May 6 and prepare for the national team selection camp May 15-20 in Winnipeg.
''This is going to be one of the busiest seasons with the national team, with a lot of tournaments and I'm looking forward to it,'' said the nine-year national team veteran. ''The pro league and national team are two different seasons and I'm happy to come home.''

"Shoes are really stylish and different. I would wear them with a skirt, dress or even jeans. I think they can easily be dressed up or dressed down. They felt slightly short to me as I had a little trouble zipping up the back zipper. I almost sent them back, but after working the zipper a few more times, I decided to keep them because they are pretty unique looking shoes."

Andy Fenby touched down twice as the Scarlets claimed a 26-14 bonus-point win over the Blues at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday.
Andy Fenby touched down twice as the Scarlets claimed a 26-14 bonus-point win over the Blues at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday.
The only score of a frustrating opening period came though the visiting winger, but the game improved in the second half.
Fenby added his second before Alex Cuthbert reduced the deficit. However, further tries from Scarlets' scrum-half Gareth Davies and lock Dominic Day sealed the win, despite Casey Laulala's consolation touchdown.
The result means the Scarlets move to within one point of the play-offs and severely dents Cardiff's top-four aspirations.
The game started off with vibrancy, but descended into a dour, scrappy affair as both Welsh regions continually turned over ball.
While some internationals were given a rest, the likes of Scarlets' Scott Williams were allowed a chance to impress, but his match lasted just 30 minutes because of a shoulder injury.
But Williams' replacement, another impressive Welsh three-quarter, Jonathan Davies, helped set up the opening score. Four minutes from the half-time whistle Davies chipped the ball though and, after Cuthbert had made a hash of the clearance, Fenby went over.
Things improved in the second period and the Scarlets extended their advantage when a Dan Parks' mis-kick was pounced on by Fenby.
Aled Thomas converted both, but the Blues hit back when Cuthbert intercepted a pass and sprinted clear from 50 metres out with Parks adding the extras.
However, scrum-half Davies went over before Laulala crossed the whitewash as the Blues struck back almost immediately. Parks once again converted, but Day's try completed the victory and boosted the visitors' chances of qualifying for the top four.
The scorers:
For Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Cuthbert, Laulala
Cons: Sweeney 2
For Scarlets:
Tries: Fenby 2, G Davies, Day
Cons: Thomas 3
Yellow card: Lamont (Scarlets – 50th min)
Cardiff Blues: 15 Chris Czekaj, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Tom James, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Xavier Rush (c), 7 Josh Navidi, 6 Michael Paterson, 5 James Down, 4 Macualey Cook, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Ryan Tyrell, 1 John Yapp.
Replacements: 16 Marc Breeze , 17 Nathan Trevett, 18 Sam Hobbs, 19 Cory Hill, 20 Maama Molitika, 21 Richie Rees, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Gavin Henson.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 Sean Lamont, 13 Gareth Maule (capt), 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Stephen Jones, 9 Gareth Davies, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Johnathan Edwards, 6 Josh Turnbull, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dominic Day, 3 Deacon Manu, 2 Ken Owens, 1 Rhodri Jones.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Rees, 17 Phil John, 18 Peter Edwards, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Kieran Murphy, 21 Liam Davies, 22 Aled Thomas, 23 Jon Davies.

At Matt. 24:22 the NWT reads:
"...but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short."
Why does the NWT translate "dia" as "on account of" at Matt. 24:22 but as "for the sake of", not once, but twice, at Mark 2:27?
I have been unable to find another translation that renders Matt. 24:22 in similar fashion.
Is there justification in the Greek grammar itself for this odd variance in translation of "dia"? Does not the rendering of the NWT at Matt. 24:22 weaken the personal nature of the action? Is this somehow justified at the low level of the Greek grammar, notwithstanding some higher-level theological justification that might exist?

Comments: I had one of these years ago and somehow lost track of it. I just got this one and aside from the new color (orange) and the new three piece design, it's still the same. I was concerned that the potential for leakage was going to be a problem as it comes in three pieses, but since the pieces screw into each other (instead of a slip fit design) and since you don't really push the unit under the surface very far, it has no leaks. This company shipped the item out right away and it went from Ca. to Fl. in just a few days. Very inpressed with the item and tackel warehouse....will use again.

At the end of last summer we moved to a needy old house about 15 minutes south of Bangor. One of the best things about our new location (besides the absence of people napping in our entryway while waiting for the cigarette shop to open) is our proximity to Belfast. Now that Belfast's shops, cafes, and waterfront parks are only a 40-minute ride away, we visit a few times a month.
Belfast has a lot going on for a city of less than ten thousand residents, but unlike some of the coastal towns farther south, it doesn't feel like a show put on solely for tourists. Main Street runs downhill and dead ends at the dramatic waterfront, where the Passagassawakeag River (say that five times fast) empties into Belfast Bay. The parks along the water are a great place to picnic and watch sailboats, and all spring, summer, and fall, you will see locals doing this. Most of the city's nineteenth century commercial buildings still stand downtown, filled with eclectic small businesses that eschew the plastic lobsters and blueberry candles sold in many Maine gift shops in favor of thoughtful, handmade goods and local art.
I love browsing in The Green Store, which bills itself as a general store for the twenty-first century. From nontoxic cleaning solutions, to composting barrels, to wooden drying racks and organic cotton toys, The Green Store sells everything you need to pursue that quintessential Maine dream of living sustainably off the grid. I also get a kick out of Yo Mamma's Home, a home goods and gift shop selling fun, funky, one-of-a-kind items like bags, shower curtains, stationary, and jewelry. The Good Table sets my heart a-flutter, with every imaginable kitchen gadget on display. So far all I've bought are cookie cutters (they sell at least a hundred shapes), but I love to look and touch and drool. Heavenly Socks Yarns is just up the street; practically every yarn, needle, and button in existence is crammed into this tiny basement shop. If you're hungry after all your shopping, Belfast boasts several vegan-friendly eateries. If it's breakfast or lunchtime, you must go to Chase's Daily (which I reviewed here). The menu is vegetarian, but at least a third of it is vegan, and many items can be prepared gluten-free. The produce comes from the Chase family farm, and during the growing season the back half of the restaurant doubles as a fruit and vegetable market. If it's too late in the afternoon for Chase's, Bay Wrap, just a few doors up Main Street, offers many vegetarian and vegan sandwiches, and the coffee shop in the same building carries soy milk for lattes.
The Belfast Co-op Cafe is another great spot for breakfast or lunch. You can order a vegan deli sub, soup, or a tofu scramble (made with local tofu), and the bakery case carries several vegan items. Admire local artwork or play checkers while you eat, then shop for organic produce and herbal remedies in the Co-op Store. Remember to bring your own grocery bags and containers for bulk items, or you may receive scowls.
Here's a sampling of meals I've enjoyed in Belfast:
Clockwise from top left: tofu breakfast burrito (made gluten-free with corn tortillas) from Chase's Daily, black beans and rice with a side of kale from Chase's Daily, Dehli Deelite wrap from Bay Wrap, and scrambled tofu with home fries from the Belfast Co-op Cafe. Don't you feel hungry (and healthy) just looking at all that?
If you're planning to visit the coast of Maine, spend an afternoon in Belfast. It's one of my favorite little places, and because most tourists stop at Camden, it's still friendly and genuine. If it's a weekend morning, you may see me at brunch!

Fantasic garage kept informed at all times couldnt fault them at all. many thanks
The guys were fantastic. MOT and quality service. Also looked at an issue with my engine management light, DPF was blocked. Gave me some advice on how to clear it and it worked!!!! Won't go anywhere else now for anything to do with the car and have recommended to family and friends.
The repair was made at the agreed price. It was performed in a timely manner and the guys working there appear to be nice people and trustworthy. The car passed the MOT after this repair - therefore I have no complaints what so ever. I recommend this garage. Full 5 stars from me. Thank you.
The best garage in town. Trustworthy, reliable, friendly and approachable. Didn't bombard me with technical car talk.... which would have meant nothing. ..but very polite and curteous. Any car issues in the future..it will 100% be Maltech receiving my custom. Very happy.
After maltech did my aircon a few months ago i was pleased with the price and result so decided to give it ago with the m.o.t for my car, at £30 i was impressed with the price, the m.o.t was done quickly and the car passed, i was advised that 3 tyres would need replacing shortly but i was really impressed that i was not put under any pressure to have the work done, i will be definately using this garage again
Job done in a timely manner. Good customer service

What can I say.... Absolutely outstanding from start to finish, from the price I was quoted to the receptionist on the phone and finishing off ..... The service I received in the garage. I highly recommend this garage by far the best in Middlesbrough. I was kept informed all throughout the repair and the price I was quoted was the price I paid with no hidden extras and that doesn't happen often. I will definitely be back and will recommend them to all my colleagues who I work with and that's over 100. Thanks again Steve Falcon and staff.
Garrage that was recomended could not repair my car
Took my car to falcon performance in skippers lane to have my front breaks and discs replaced and from start to Finnish I could not fault them ,from the initial phone call to book the job right through to the completion the whole service was excellent ,would highly recommend them and will be taken my car back for its M.O.T in June
Everything done to a high standard
I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Not even for a tyre check. The service was meant to be while I wait, change of drive belt. I waited for two hours, then I took my car and found on the journey back that the hazard lights for the alternator were flickering. This wasn't there before I gave them my car. I noticed that there was new bolts on the alternator and the engine cover!!! although as far as I know changing the drive belt does not involve doing anything with either!! I went back on the same day, and asked for a manager. I got two persons who treated me as if I was trying to trick them to fix something already broken. They insisted that the car was like this before, although I later found that none of them was involved in fixing my car. They tested the car and found that the alternator was not charging. I explained that I am a long distance commuting doctor, and I couldn't have reached them if the alternator was broken before they changed my drive belt. Their reply was that electric appliances can break anytime!!! Then gave me a quote for a new alternator 245 GBP. In my view, they have done a poor job, and their customer complaint handling had the attitude of accusing the customer until proven otherwise. I am currently considering taking this further with the Retail Motor Industry Federation, the Vehicle Builders and Repairers Association Ltd, or the low claims court
Excellent service, recommended

Food to Improve Eyesight
A balanced diet is critical for overall health, but did you know that there are certain nutrients that can help strengthen your sight and optical health? The likelihood of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts can be limited by strategically incorporating certain foods into your meals. Sound simple enough? Keep reading!
You can be proactive about your eye's health. There is evidence showing that risk of cataracts and macular degeneration (damage to the retina) can be reduced with an increase in consumption of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. According to some studies, the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids may slow the progression of early onset AMD. It is also possible that eating increased amounts of vitamins C and E may reduce the risk of cataracts or AMD, though take note that this assertion has been debated by experts and researchers.
It is important to discuss any intent to dramatically increase consumption of vitamins and minerals with your general practitioner. These trained medical professionals can direct you to vitamins that may help, as well as look out for potential side-effects. For example, there is an increased risk of heart failure in at-risk persons aggressively upping their consumption of Vitamin E. Your doctors will be able to recommend particular doses to you to make sure that you stay fit and healthy.
Fortunately, consuming additional nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin does not have to be inconvenient or bothersome…in fact, it can be quite tasty! Many delicious foods contain these nutrients and increasing the amount of those foods you eat can help you be proactive in preserving your eyesight. Consider adding the following foods to your diet:
• Leafy greens. Kale, collard greens, spinach, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, peas, broccoli, green beans, etc.
• Citrus fruits and juices such as oranges, grapefruits, mandarins and more.
• Vegetables high in Vitamin C like Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, leafy greens, and carrots.
• Red meat, liver, shellfish, milk, beans. These foods contain high amounts of zinc, a helpful aid to the body when it comes to night vision.
• Eggs and other non-meat proteins like nuts and sunflower seeds.
• Fish. Fatty acids like Omega-3 are very good for overall health and can help improve retina function and vision development. If you do not like seafood options like salmon and tuna, you can take supplements can help as well.
• Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene—a nutrient that seriously strengthens night vision.
Consuming a balanced diet with some of these foods included in that diet can help prevent cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. The key word here is balanced…it is important not to consume one of these foods in excess—you may miss the benefits of other foods and depending on your personal situation; eating too much of one nutrient may have unexpected consequences. Be sure to discuss any dietary change with your doctor.

LaSalle County Historical Society Heritage Center
The LaSalle County Historical Society's museum lies on the north side of the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal, itself a historical landmark. The museum building, erected in 1848 during the presidency of Zachary Taylor, is a beautifully restored sandstone building that was originally a granary and warehouse. The two-story building has walls of sandstone blocks between 18 and 32 inches thick, quarried in Utica, and secured with hydraulic cement of the same kind used in the construction of the I&M Canal. James Clark, the man who commissioned the building, came to Utica in 1833, where he became a land squatter. In 1842 he became a contractor on the I&M Canal and in 1845 he bought the local cement mill. He made it a huge commercial success by selling the cement to the canal contractors and the general public. The cement was used in many parts of the canal.

North Grove School, 3 miles northwest of Sycamore, was built in 1878 by the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church as a parochial and Sunday school. Pupils of diverse ethnic backgrounds learned their lessons in Swedish, even several years after the DeKalb County public school system purchased the school in 1880. The Sycamore unit district acquired the school in 1949, and it continued as a school until 1952, when it was closed. The North Grove community continued to lovingly maintain the building and used it as a neighborhood social center for many years. Classroom in School Upon the closing of North Grove School in 1952, all furnishings were removed. However many furnishings from old Sycamore schools were still in storage in the 1960s when the Natural Resource Center in Genoa began using the site for special education programs. The school was refurbished and re-supplied using these furnishings, with additional period pieces being donated by private citizens. In 1970 North Grove School at 26745 Brickville Road (Map) was listed in the Illinois Directory of Historical Buildings. On May 24, 2012 the United States Department of the Interior placed the school and its outbuildings on the National Register of Historical Places. Today the school is still owned by the Sycamore School District but is leased to and lovingly cared for by the North Grove School Association, whose goal is to preserve this educational icon for future generations.

Although the Sycamore Public Library did not open its doors until 1892, we can trace its roots back to 1875 when a Chautauqua Scientific Circle was formed in Sycamore. Once members had completed the course, they established the Athena Literary Society in order to form a public library. Over the course of three years they raised $700 and asked city council to appropriate money for books and that the mayor appoint a board of directors. On July 12, 1892, the Sycamore Public Library opened in Hoyt and Rogers' Store, second floor, in the backroom. This building now is occupied by Marlyn's Majorettes. The City Council appropriated $800 to purchase books. The Athena Literary Society assisted with funding the library for the first two years. Miss Flora Jeannette Dow, a member of Athena, was the first librarian. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie offered the City of Sycamore $10,000 for the construction of a library, provided an acceptable site could be secured and that the Sycamore City Council would annually appropriate at least 10% of his donation for maintaining the building. Mr. Frederick B. Townsend donated the property where the library stands today. Miss Dow received the honor of placing the first trowel of mortar on the cornerstone on May 24, 1905. Over the next 90 years, several renovation and remodeling projects took place and then on October 14, 1995, a new era of growth began with the groundbreaking ceremony for the library expansion. Today we are looking at ways to serve the community's needs by providing the best possible services and programs available.

As if this wasn't all awful enough: Valentino decided to issue a press release crowing that Amy Adams was photographed yesterday carrying one of their bags…yes, that would be the big burgundy bag in the picture posted here. Amy's publicist went off on them (quite justifiably), and they're backing down and grovelling, but I daresay we won't be seeing her wearing Valentino again to an awards show for a long time, if ever. Oh, and Ugg was trying to send people boots in the hopes that they'd be seen wearing them as well…
Not that I have the kind of money where this would even be an issue, but if I did, I know 2 companies whom I would NEVER patronize in the future, and I daresay plenty of people who do have that kind of cash feel likewise. (As to why she'd carry that particular bag, I can think of two reasons: (1) it happened to be the one she'd been lugging around for a bit, and when you're mourning a friend, you're probably not thinking about swapping out purses, and/or (2) it's big enough to hold an entire box of tissues…)ReplyCancel
Here's a link for you:
Valentino is a high end label manufactured in third world countries. UGG's are made of real sheep. Why wear either? This has been really bad press for both and I will pass the word fosho.ReplyCancel

Skip to comments.Sprewell ($14.6M) demands new deal: 'Got family to feed'
Posted on 11/02/2004 6:39:02 AM PST by the_devils_advocate_666
Latrell Sprewell says he'll ask to be traded if the Minnesota Timberwolves don't sign him to a contract extension by Wednesday night's opener. ''I think this thing is heading towards me leaving, personally,'' Sprewell told reporters after a practice this week. Earlier this preseason, Sprewell said he wanted a contract extension by the Wolves' opener, against the New York Knicks, or he would ask for a sign-and-trade deal or wait to become a free agent. Either way, Sprewell said he didn't want to negotiate during the season. But he took a tougher stance Sunday. Asked if he would play out the season and test the free-agent market, Sprewell said: ''Why would I want to help them win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed.'' Sprewell is due to make $14.6 million this year. Sprewell, 34, described the team's latest offer, reported to be worth between $27 million and $30 million over three years, as ''insulting.''
(Excerpt) Read more at dominionpost.com ...
Yet another reason as to why I do not attend any professional games.
Until Sprewell changes his name to Micheal Jordan or actually wins a Championship, I would tell him to get screwed.
How anybody can follow the NBA is beyond me...
Why anyone cares to is beyond me.
''Why would I want to help them win a title?"
Because that's what you're getting paid to do you talentless loser.
That is the funniest headline I've seen in a while.
Me, I think that, if I really scrimped and saved, I could feed my headline on $13, maybe even $12 million a year.
Just how much can one family eat?
Check out NBA commissioner David Stern's campaign contributions:
"Commissioners: Go figure. USA WEDNESDAY found the NHL's Gary Bettman made no donations, while MLB's Bud Selig gave $5,750 split between Republicans and Democrats. The NFL's Paul Tagliabue also split his $47,000. But the $196,500 given by the NBA's David Stern doesn't just make him the biggest-spending commissioner. With $159,000 from Stern and his wife going to Democratic candidates and causes, they are the survey's second-biggest donors to that party trailing Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos and his wife, who gave a total of $340,700."
I used to LOVE professional basketball. But -- After Sprewell tried to kill his coach -TWICE- and received only a slap on the wrist from the NBA, I lost all respect for the entire operation. I will not watch a game that is full of thugs, rapists, murderers, and the like. That goes for the democratic game as well.
What are they eating? Cocaine and Hummers?
My grocery bill is only $700/month for a family of 6. We must not be eating right.
I used to watch a lot of basketball. I didn't watch more than 10 minutes of the NBA all season this past year.
Probably more like: "I've got a family to feed. I mean, who knows how many kids I've got out there!"
Sprewell = cancer
Thugball players ruined the NBA, IMO. I haven't had much interest since Jordan retired the 2nd time.
What's your family eating these days, Latrine (I mean, Latrell)? Beluga caviar? Chateaubriand? Gold bricks? Instead of bitching about how rotten you're being treated, how about working hard, living comfortably on a fraction of your inflated income, and GIVING SOMETHING BACK to your community?
You could be buying a load of books and computers for school kids in the inner city, but I guess that's too much to ask.
What it is: Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Why you do it: You live in possibly the most pampered, consumerist society since the Roman Empire.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be boiled alive in oil. Bear in mind that it's the finest, most luxurious boiling oil that money can buy, but it's still boiling.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Greed is linked with the frog and the color yellow
Sprewell has always been a jerk of the highest order.
There really is no reason to watch the NBA since they certainly don't play basketball anymore.
Exactly. I use to be the biggest basketball fan, following every thing down to who was coming out of H.S. into college (remember those days). Then it turned into all about being a gangsta or thug. NBA got mixed in with the hip-hop lifestyle, and haven't watched since.
Plus the fact these guys have no talent. If I wanted to see games played in the 70 and 80 point range I would go watch the local high school. They come close to that with no shot clocks, and less game time.
One day these thugs are going to wake up to find that the NBA has been taken over by European players who actually know how to shoot the ball.
What's an NBA? Is it like that organization that used to play basketball?
I used to workout with Sprewell in the summers in Milwaukee Wisconsin at the local Brown Deer YMCA.
The guy has like 15 cars minimum and several yaughts--- he might not have enough cash to feed his kids after all the crap he buys
Why is there a thread on pro basketball? What a stupid enterprise, thoroughly bankrupt.
I have a fantasy NBA league at FoxSports. I've invited Freepers to join, but it appears there are no NBA fans left. The league is "Free Republic", and the password is "Freep". It's the free basic salary cap game.
I don't know how I could manage on as paltry a sum as 14.6 million,but I'd be willing to try!!!!!
It's a group who's all-stars are nearly as good as the Puerto Rican national team.
Nothing makes me sicker than a athlete who is under contract and doesn't want to fulfil it.
Perhaps Spree is a distant cousin of Elizabeth Edwards.
I have never watched a professional basketball game and I never will.
This guy is now and has always been a punk.
All the talent in the world can't make up for being a flawed human being.
It's not food that eating up the family budget. It's living a lifestyle that is above his income, gambling, hookers, drugs and all the lowlives that hang around mooching off of him. I stopped watching this crap after Jordan retired.
Sprewell doesn't have families, he's just got a lot of babymommas to support.
