William Bratton's appointment last week as New York police commissioner wasn't necessarily a surprise.
Both Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio and Bratton — who previously led the nation's largest police force under former Mayor Rudolph Guiliani — had hinted at the prospect for weeks.
Yet Bratton's return to New York, after stints leading the Los Angeles and Boston police departments, highlights a long-revolving door in American policing in which some of the most coveted jobs often go to the most-traveled cops.
Bratton holds the distinction of being the only person to hold the chief's rank in the nation's two largest cities. But the list of chiefs-for-hire is long.
Before being named Philadelphia commissioner, Charles Ramsey held the same posts in Chicago and Washington. Ramsey's tenure in Philadelphia started a short time after John Timoney, a former top deputy in New York, departed and later took the chief's job in Miami.
Among the most recent moves: Garry McCarthy, the former chief in Newark, N.J., and deputy New York commissioner, who was appointed to Chicago's top job in 2011.
Law enforcement analysts said the movement at the highest levels has become increasingly common in at least the past two decades as big-city mayors, whose own job security depends in large part on a successful public safety operation, have reached outside their own cities for candidates with track records at comparable departments.
"These chief jobs — everywhere — are difficult, complicated and taxing,'' said University of Pittsburgh law professor David Harris, who has written extensively on law enforcement management. "He or she has to be enough of a politician to work with the mayor, city council and the public. (Some) have to deal with (labor) unions … and have a strategy for maintaining public order and fighting crime that fits the particular city. That's quite a skill set and not many have it all.''
Bernard Melekian, the Justice Department's former liaison to police agencies, describes the job requirements as "going beyond technical expertise'' to a delicate balancing act that must satisfy three major constituencies: "the rank and file officers, the local political leadership and the community at large.''
"It is a job set on a three-legged stool,'' said Melekian, also a former police chief in Pasadena, Calif. "You pull one of the legs out, the whole thing is likely to fall.''
The police officials who have held the top spot in multiple major cities have largely been successful in finding that difficult balance, Melekian said.
But there have been exceptions.
Among them, Willie Williams, who with much fanfare moved from Philadelphia to become the first black chief in the city of Los Angeles in the aftermath of the 1992 riots, endured a rocky tenure before departing in 1997 amid questions about his management style.
"It happens,'' Melekian said. "The bigger the organization, an outsider may not always know where the landmines are and may trip over some political issues that weren't immediately apparent.''
There also have been times when major cities have eschewed an outside search by looking within their own departments. Cathy Lanier, who started as a foot patrol officer in Washington, D.C., was confirmed as the city's first woman chief in 2007. First appointed by then-Mayor Adrian Fenty, she was retained by current Mayor Vincent Gray.
"A mayor's political fortunes are often going to rise or fall on the relationship between the community and the police department, because within the community the chief is seen as the absolute direct reflection of the mayor,'' Melekian said.
In New York, that reflection is a familiar one. Bratton first served as New York police commissioner from 1994 to 1996, when he presided over a period of declining violent crime before a clash with Giuliani hastened his exit.
Bratton's seven-year tenure in Los Angeles, ending in 2009, also was marked by declining crime and the department's release from a near-decade-long court-ordered agreement with the Justice Department that in part enforced a ban on racial profiling and revamped police training following a corruption investigation that preceded Bratton's arrival.
"He was very committed to complying with the (court-ordered) consent decree in Los Angeles and he's learned a lot since leaving New York the last time,'' said University of Nebraska criminal justice professor Samuel Walker. "He's bringing good baggage with him. He's learned to do it right.''

On Dec. 5, at the Orangeville Community Center a large number of the citizens of Orangeville gathered to test the skill of local cooks, and also meet and greet their friends and family. The children gathered in the city hall to make craft items.
This event was kicked off at 4:30 p.m. by a Children's Craft Center held in the Orangeville City Hall under the supervision of Carmen and Josh Humphrey. Carmen had an abundance of things for making interesting crafts and for giving the children a sense of accomplishment.
Fire Chief Tracy Addley organized the chili and soup contest sponsored by Orangeville City Fire Department. The judges were Wayne Olsen, Cynthia Baker and Shaun Bell.
The contestants cooked their creations ahead of time and then brought them to be judged. All chili and soups were made from scratch. No store bought canned, soup or chili allowed.The cooks shared their recipes. The judging took place at 5 pm. The chili and soup were then used for the community dinner. There were more than 20 pots and kettles of chili and soup set out on long tables awaiting the judges taste test and the word that they could be eaten.
The community center was filled to overflowing with people. Those in attendance started serving themselves at 5 p.m. Some folks sampled every chili and soup and then went back for their favorites. The Emery High School Choir led by David Bird and accompanied by Marilee Cox entertained while people were eating.
The winners of the cook off were announced by Chief Tracy Addley before the arrival of Santa Claus. They were as follows: chili cook off first place to Jeff Tuttle, second place to Kevin Reynolds, third place Kent Wilson. Soup cook off first place Pat Jones, second place Carmen Humphrey, third place Robin Healey. Jeff Tuttle won a fire extinguisher for the hottest chili.
At 6 p.m. a special visitor, Santa Claus, arrived on an Orangeville Fire Truck. The crowd of children and parents lined up for children to have an opportunity to sit on Santa's lap and have their photos taken.

The Rural Social Scheme (RSS) is aimed at low-income farmers and
fishermen/women. To qualify for the RSS you must be getting a social welfare
payment. In return, people participating in the RSS provide services that
benefit rural communities.
The Department of Social Protection has overall responsibility for policy in
relation to the Rural Social Scheme, including eligibility criteria. The
Department monitors the implementation of the RSS and supports the various
bodies that manage the RSS locally. The Department may also inspect any Scheme
and visit projects. At a local level, the Scheme is managed by implementing
bodies such as local development companies and in the Gaeltacht areas, by
Údarás na Gaeltachta.
The type of work carried out by RSS participants includes:
You work 19.5 hours per week. These hours are based on a
farmer/fisher-friendly schedule. This is to ensure participation on the scheme
does not affect a your farming/fishing activities. If you get a place on the
Scheme, you are offered a contract from your start date up to the following 31
March. You may be considered for a further term following the initial contract,
if you continue to meet all the criteria for the Scheme.
The local management decides on your application. While it is not intended
that anyone would remain on the scheme permanently, there is no definite time
limit for participation.
If you are eligible for the Scheme but don't wish to participate, your
dependent spouse, civil partner or cohabitant may take the available place.
However, this is only if neither of you are participating in any other similar
scheme, (for example, the Community Employment Scheme.) The Rural Social Scheme
operates independently of the Community
Employment Scheme (CE).
The Rural Social Scheme provides a supplementary income for low-income
farmers and fishermen/women who are unable to earn an adequate living.
To participate in the scheme you must be getting:
If you are actively farming or fishing (this means that you must meet the
criteria set out below), you may qualify for the scheme if you are also getting
one of the following social welfare payments:
*From 1st January 2016, the qualifying payment Jobseeker's Benefit (if previously on CE or RSS within the last 12 months) has been removed from the list of RSS qualifying payments. It is open to those on JB to apply for JA or Farm/Fish Assist which are qualifying payments for RSS.
Criteria for a farmerYou must provide proof that you are actively farming. To do this, you
must provide a copy of your application for the EU Single Payment Scheme for
the current year, including a valid herd number. If you are actively farming
and have not applied for the EU Single Payment Scheme, you should contact your
local implementing body for advice.
Criteria for a child/sibling of a farmerIf you are a child/sibling of a herd number owner and you can certify
that you are resident and/or working on the farm and you are getting one of the
qualifying social welfare payments, you may be eligible to participate in the
RSS on the basis of your parent's/sibling's herd number.
Criteria for a spouse, civil partner or cohabitant of a farmerIf you are eligible but do not wish to participate in the RSS, your
dependent spouse, civil partner or cohabitant can take the available place.
Alternatively, if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting one of
the qualifying social welfare payments and is actively farming, they can use
your herd number to qaulify for the scheme.
Your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant can participate in the RSS, if
he/she is under 66 and you are getting a State Pension (Non-Contributory) which
includes an Increase for Qualified Adult for him or her.
Criteria for a fisherman/woman
To be considered eligible to participate on the RSS a fisherman/woman must
meet one of the following categories:
Criteria for a spouse, civil partner or cohabitant of a
fisherman/womanYour spouse, civil partner or cohabitant can participate in the RSS,
if he/she is under 66 and you are getting a State Pension (Non-Contributory)
which includes an Increase for Qualified Adult for him/her.
Weekly payment rates for the Rural Social Scheme (RSS) changed from 17
September 2012. The rates of payment for new participants on the RSS depend on
your qualifying Department of Social Protection (DSP) payment. In most cases
your RSS rate of payment will be equivalent to your existing payment plus a
€20 top-up.
So, if the actual social welfare payment (including dependants) you were
getting was €188 a week or less, then you will get the minimum weekly rate of
€208 (that is €188 plus €20). If your actual weekly social welfare
payment (including dependants) was €188.01 or more, then you will get the
equivalent rate plus €20 (there are some exceptions to this).
If you were getting an age-related reduced rate of payment your payment is
increased to the minimum weekly rate of €208.
With effect from 4th January 2016, the top-up rate has increased to €22.50, with a minimum payment of €210.50.
PRSI contribution
A Class A PRSI contribution is paid on behalf of all RSS participants. You
are not liable for the Universal
Social Charge (USC) on your RSS payment.
Your income is liable for tax although it is likely you will pay little or
no tax. Find out more
about tax.
Other social welfare and Health Service Executive
If you are getting other social welfare payments you should check with your
social welfare
local office to find out whether they will be affected. You can retain your
card while you are taking part in the Rural Social Scheme.
The rules that apply to your original social welfare payment also apply to
your RSS payment. This means that, if your dependant gets a job, their income
will be assessed as means and your RSS payment may be reduced. Your RSS payment
cannot be reduced below the minimum rate of €210.50. To avoid any possible
overpayments, if there is any change in your circumstances, you should inform
your local RSS implementing body.
As this scheme is administered locally, you should contact your local
RSS implementing body for further information or an application form.
You can also read the Department of Social Protection's Guide
to the Rural Social Scheme.

The cAMP-Glo™ Max Assay is a homogeneous, bioluminescent and high-throughput assay to measure cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in cells. Compounds that modulate GPCRs coupled with adenylate cyclase typically alter intracellular cAMP levels. The cAMP-Glo™ Max Assay monitors cAMP levels in cells in response to the effect of agonists, antagonists or test compounds on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The assay is based on the principle that cyclic AMP (cAMP) stimulates protein kinase A (PKA) holoenzyme activity, decreasing available ATP and leading to decreased light production in a coupled luciferase reaction.
Expand to Read More
This improved version combines the lysis and cAMP reaction buffers into the cAMP-Glo™ ONE Buffer. This new format streamlines the protocol and reduces the time needed to complete the assay. The new ONE Buffer is supplied at a 5X concentration, which provides increased flexibility for starting cell culture volumes.
The cAMP-Glo™ Max Assay can be performed in 96-, 384- or 1536-well plates. The cells are induced with a test compound for an appropriate period of time to modulate cAMP levels. After induction, cells are lysed, and the cAMP released stimulates protein kinase A in the reagent (Figure 1). The Kinase-Glo® Reagent is then added to terminate the PKA reaction and detect the remaining ATP via a luciferase reaction. Plates are read using a microplate-reading luminometer. The half-life for the luminescent signal is greater than 4 hours providing ample time to read the plates and eliminating the need for luminometers with reagent injectors.
Cat.# V1681 contains sufficient reagents for 2 plates (96- or 384-well format). Cat.# V1682 contains sufficient reagents for 20 plates (96- or 384-well format). Cat.# V1683 contains sufficient reagents for 200 plates (96- or 384-well format).

Store the system at –20°C. Before use, completely thaw all components at room temperature, except for the Protein Kinase A, which should be kept on ice when not at –20°C. After thawing, mix all components thoroughly before use. Once prepared, the cAMP detection solution (cAMP-Glo™ ONE Buffer with Protein Kinase A) should not be frozen. Once prepared, the Kinase-Glo® Reagent should be dispensed into aliquots and stored at –20°C. See the product label for the expiration date.

Keds canvas sneakers
"These Keds fit just like all my other Keds classic canvas sneakers, the only thing is that the color is different in real life than on the screen. It was more green than I expected, but not a problem."

"Why are Keds so stinking cute? I want every color but the mint color is adorable and exactly as pictured. Perfect everyday sneakers. Keds tend to run slightly more narrow for my foot and don't offer the same support as other sneakers but that is their style. Classic and cute, you can't lose with that combination."

Mint Green Envy
"These shoes absolutely met my expectations. I only put that they run slightly long because my heel doesn't exactly hit the back of the shoe. However, with the laces being as tight as they need to be, my feet don't fall out of the shoes. Also, a pleasant treat is that it comes with two kinds of laces: plain white, and a sparkly mint green color to match the shoe! I am definitely happy with this purchase. DSW always delivers."

|In response to Re: Hot Water in Shower
: I have a problem with hot water in my showers/bath. I have Symmons Temptrol units that have been cleaned and rebuilt within the past weeks. I recently replaced a 40-gal booster tank as part of my domestic hot water system (old one failed). My water us heated by a tankless coil in a steel Trianco boiler. The boiler is 17-years old and I have very high mineral content in my well water.
: Everything now points to low pressure for the hot water. I can get very hot water on a single faucet at the sink (same bathroom as shower), but only luke warm water at the Temptrol valve. I suspect that the tankless coil is the heavily coated with mineral scale and is reducing the hot water flow sufficiently to cause the problem.
: My oil burner repair person says that replacing the tankless coil is not appropriate given the age of the boiler and the fact that it is steel (vs. cast iron). He does not recommend an acid wash either.
: Is there anyone who can help me:
: 1) does my diagnosis sound right?
: My choice is #2 if the problem is as I have described.
: Thanks,
: Charlie

A spa oasis with a wealth of natural resources set in the midst of soothingly enchanting countryside – this is the West Bohemian spa town of Konstantinovy Lázně. The discovery of mineral water here with the highest concentrations of CO2 in Bohemia led to the construction of a spa complex. This special H2O can cure many an ailment and restore you to full health and strength.
For more information please contact:
Information CenterKonstantinovy Lázně, Lázeňská 164
Staff at Konstantinovy Lázně focus on treating problems with the circulatory and cardiovascular systems, muscular-skeletal ailments, metabolism complaints and diseases affecting the respiratory system. They can work wonders using just natural cold mineral water that rises from a depth of 40m.
In the town itself visitors can employ the services of ten spa houses. One of the best known is the Jirásek spa hotel, where you'll find a rehabilitation pool and a restaurant incorporating a very pleasant coffeehouse. The Prusík spa house offers comprehensive procedure programmes and is the main spa facility. However, you can also enjoy Konstantinovy Lázně even if you have no health issues whatsoever. At the Konstantin Wellness Centre the staff will take good care of your jaded frame and stressed mind. For instance, you can try melon, lemon, honey, sage and chocolate face packs, and the exclusive champagne packs are said to result in visibly younger skin. Another relaxing procedure is wine therapy and a wine pack applied to the entire body.
Are you a fresh air fanatic? Then Konstantinovy Lázně may be the ideal place for you. The surrounding area is one of the least polluted in the entire Czech Republic, and is crisscrossed by 450km of marked cycling, hiking, nature and Nordic walking trails. The town also boasts a football pitch, volleyball and tennis courts and areas set aside for mini-golf, pétanque and curling. Nor should you forget to have a sip of the local Konstantin herb liqueur which every local restaurant and tavern is happy to offer on its menu.
Fancy a bit of culture? If so, head out into the surroundings of Konstantinovy Lázně, packed with the results of human endeavour. A tour of the monastery in Kladruby, boasting one of the most attractive churches in the country, is a truly memorable experience. Then you can hear tales of centuries gone by at the Premonstratensian monastery in Teplá, which contains the Czech Republic's second largest library.

A friend of mine has a Culligan water softener model Mark 4-12 which has an acid reservoir(?)with a tiny tube coming out of it and at the other end it has come loose and he doesn't know from where it has come loose from, perhaps an electrical box/switch assembly, but he's not sure. Any suggestions or perhaps a link showing an exploded view of the softener. Thank you. Alice

Posted on 03/06/2013 11:21:56 AM PST by Nachum
Sen. Rand Paul launched into an old-fashioned filibuster on the Senate floor Wednesday as he tried to hold up the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director over concerns about the presidents authority to kill Americans with drones.
Paul, R-Ky., is one of several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who has raised concerns about the legal justification for launching drone strikes against Americans overseas. But Paul took to the floor after receiving a statement from Attorney General Eric Holder that creaked open the door to the possibility of using a drone to kill an American inside the United States.
To allow one man to accuse you in secret -- you never get notified you've been accused, Paul said on the floor. Your notification is the buzz of propellers on the drone as it flies overhead in the seconds before you're killed. Is that what we really want from our government?
Paul said hed be raising the same complaints under a Republican president.
No one politician should be allowed to judge the guilt, to charge an individual, to judge the guilt of an individual and to execute an individual. It goes against everything that we fundamentally believe in our country, he said.

A real filibuster? Wow!
Finally, a Republican with some cahones!
Rand Paul Filibusters Brennan Nomination- live
What do you mean "becomes?"
What do you mean "becomes?"
I was aghast at his vote for Hagel's confirmation but this heroic action regains my respect.
Obama is probably pretty pissed at Rand right now; you know from holding him up from passing his domestic enemy drone hit list to Brennan for execution. He probably can't shove the Tea Party drone hit list into Brennan's hands fast enough. Keep your firearms next to your chair or bed in case you hear a strange buzzing sound overhead...
yeah, I wish he had done this over Hagel, and am totally against his Hagel vote, but I applaud this action.
Well then, I expect you to be properly ticked off when Paul ends up voting for Brennan. Keep in mind he's doing this because of a letter he got from *Holder,* not Brennan. As soon as he gets clarification and soothing words from Holder he'll not only stop the Filibuster, he'll vote for the guy.
This is what they ALL are supposed to be doing. Sad that when it actually happens, people get so excited. I'm glad he did this. 100%. But he is still a POS for his Hagel BS.
How soon we forget.
Watching on C-Span.. Give 'em Hell, Rand!
Rand Paul, 2016.
Glad he mentioned the fact that they consider someone that believes in the constitution, pays in cash, etc. a possible terrorist.
Anyone that has honestly and diligently studied the current CIC's character, actions, ideologies, and background would surmise that he has done more than enough many times over to have been impeached and is a traitor to the spirit and ideals that founded this country and made it great. The only reason he is still in power is because of the hatred and class envy he has stirred up using psychological warfare and manipulation and deception spun by a media that hangs on his every word because he is unique in history as the first black president. Unfortunately, most will view him as the worst president in history once the Koolaid wears off. He will probably also be the last president in history as Revelation unfolds...: )
Of equal or greater concern is Brennan's conversion to Islam.
The Constitution says there shall be NO religious test for any position in the govt. Does our side throw the Constitution under the bus when it suits us? People tried to go in this direction when Catholics were new arrivals and their loyalty was suspected.
The Constitution says there shall be NO religious test for any position in the govt. Does our side throw the Constitution under the bus when it suits us? People tried to go in this direction when Catholics were new arrivals and their loyalty was suspected.
Cruz is now speaking. This show is fun to watch!!
True, but that simply means that a person can not be "constitutionally" barred because of their religion, which would mean they couldn't even be nominated in the first place. Individual Senator's can choose not to vote for a nominee for any reason they see fit, or for no reason at all, heck a Senator is free to vote against every nominee with brown hair if he or she so chooses.
You can be sure they are working on some way to Palinize Paul and Cruz full time now. The talking communists on the All Obama news drones will be handed their talking points by the White House "Communications" office and their walking army at Media-Traitors, JournOlist, and Hollywood spin-meisters.
I can hear it now: By 8 O'clock tonight they will be called "racists", "wackos", "dangerous", and "out of control". They will be said to be "fomenting civil unrest".
The administration will trot out their various communist czars to declare that these senators are "giving aid to our enemies", "making our jobs harder", and "need to be investigated" for their own "unconstitutional obstructionism".
Then the White House controlled print media will come out with scathing articles about how Paul is a closet homosexual, Cruz gave somebody herpes, and that he cheated on his papers at Harvard- or whatever they can invent; all from unnamed sources.
The antichrist, or the beast of revelation...
The patriotism of the Republican politicians has grown so stale. Only the sons of Cuban immigrants such as Cruz and Rubio show any passion for the freedom our elected officials now take for granted.
Cruz, so far so good. Rubio? The guy in favor of amnesty/DREAM????
Hell no.
Playing devils advocate here (maybe), but that only holds if one views Islam purely as a religion.
It no longer holds if one views it as a totalitarian political and economic system that happens to have a religious component.
It would be perfectly acceptable then to employ a test, the same as we would for Communism or Fascism.
I agree with you about Rubios stance on amnesty. Was just referring to the filibuster.
I don't expect perfection from these guys, but dear God, is it too much to ask for them to hold to the really big points of the party line?
Instead, they just change the line and their shills browbeat us for not calling the crap ambrosia.
Believe me, I'm very happy Rubio has a lor of conservative positions. But he's willing to throw them all out with giving the Dems millions of new voters. Ergo, he is as big or worse a problem than the Pelosis of the world. And he proved untrustworthy.
Unlike some people here, I'm all for killing Americans that "go home" and are then at training camps in the Middle East.
But I do draw the line in this country, even if they belong to the ROP. They still need to be given a chance to explain that they're into the killing of infidels.
The butt kissers at the New York Times seem more concerned about radical Muslims getting water up their noses than about American citizens being murdered by the government - without a hint of due process. Guess the New York Time's dem handlers didn't tell them much about this story.
No one said he could not be presented as a candidate for the position, barred by a religious test. But as you are probably aware, Islam permits/encourages/requires lying for the advancement of the faith. Therefore nothing a Muslim says can ever be trusted.
The goal of Islam is to rule the world; nothing less is acceptable. Therefore Muslims in government will be working covertly to destroy our system and supplant it with their own. So a vote to confirm a Muslim to a position of authority and power is a vote to overthrow the America we used to know.
Don't ban them, but don't confirm them.

My research focus is on vascular cell communication and signaling. Our lab is specifically interested in how the cells of the blood vessel wall communicate with each other, with the surrounding tissue, and with the blood itself. Basically, we're interested in figuring out how microvessels work! Since cardiovascular disease is a major killer of adult populations, and since much of this is vascular disease or disorder, understanding normal blood vessel function seems like a good place to start.The major tool that we use to ask our questions is confocal immunofluorescent intravital microscopy; we are one of a handful of labs worldwide that is able to image local events in cells of the vascular wall in real time in blood perfused microvessels in living animals.

The project aims to improve knowledge of soil nutrient and hydrological processes in key landscape types, and how these impact plant growth and the uptake of phosphorus. Researchers will develop management tools for farmers, as well as tools that the local government can incorporate into future planning, to ensure continued sustainable management of the area. The primary results of absorbing excess phosphorous through land use changes will be significant reductions in nutrient loss from farms and increased abundance in birds and other animal species.
The implications of this important sustainable land use study will be widespread. In Western Australia, region-wide adoption of the tools and innovative land use techniques developed through this research project could result in significant reductions of the movement of phosphorous into waterways throughout the Peel-Harvey catchment. Engaging and educating local stakeholders may make future legislative change more readily acceptable to the agricultural communities of the area. Because such future legislation might include restrictions on the use of commodities such as fertilizer and water, a constituent base that is knowledgeable about the perils of agricultural run-off would more likely support conservation measures that are likely to benefit their communities. In the long term, researchers expect the study to be used to devise landuse policies, planning tools and management practices that contribute to sustainable management of the Peel-Harvey catchment.

Saturday's game in College Station between No. 1 Alabama and No. 6 Texas A&M is the most highly anticipated matchup of college football's regular season. But when it's over, there will be more great matchups to come. Ranking the best remaining regular season games after Saturday:
1. Oregon at Stanford, Nov. 7. Perhaps no other game will have as significant an impact on the final pairing in the BCS National Championship Game. Judging by how the Ducks have looked through two weeks, the Cardinal's defense may be the only group capable of slowing Marcus Mariota and this potent offensive attack. The winner gets an open path to the title game; the loser should earn a trip to Pasadena, but for the Rose Bowl, not the national championship.
RE-RANK: The 1-125 after Week 2
2. Florida State at Clemson, Oct. 19. Clemson is riding high after topping Georgia in the opener, handing the program successive wins against top-10 Southeastern Conference competition. Meanwhile, Florida State showed some of its capabilities in dismantling Pittsburgh in the opener – doing so in grand style, led by redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston. To the victor goes the Atlantic coast Conference's Atlantic Division title and, one would expect, the ACC title as a whole. The winner also could land the inside track to a perfect season.
3. LSU at Alabama, Nov. 9. The last two regular-season meetings have been memorable: LSU won 9-6 in 2011, Alabama 21-17 a year ago. If the Tide get past Texas A&M and LSU continues its recent offensive pace – the first may seem a touch likelier than the latter – this game will again decide the SEC West. The winner of the SEC West plays for the SEC title; the winner of the SEC plays for the national championship.
POWER RANKINGS: College football's best conference?
4. Ohio State at Michigan, Nov. 30. The Buckeyes first have to sneak past a slew of unqualified Big Ten challengers but should reach the season finale in Ann Arbor at 11-0. The thought heading into the year was that the Wolverines, while strong, would not be a factor in the championship race. Did Saturday's win against Notre Dame alter Michigan's national credibility? If nothing else, the Wolverines proved they'll be a handful against the Buckeyes in the finale.
5. Baylor at Oklahoma State, Nov. 23. Texas is dropping. Oklahoma has quarterback issues, though the defense has seemingly rebounded after a down 2012. Kansas State is a work in progress. TCU remains a bit of an enigma. Texas Tech needs to prove itself against valid competition. Which teams currently lead the way in the Big 12? Try Oklahoma State and Baylor, two offensively potent teams with the talent and athleticism to run the table in advance of a late November meeting in Stillwater.

James Robinson, curator, British Museum
Thirty four of the Lewis chessmen have travelled to the Cloisters Museum and Gardens in New York. This is the largest number ever to have left the British Isles since their discovery on the Isle of Lewis in 1831.
The Cloisters is a truly exceptional museum devoted entirely to medieval art and architecture and the chessmen look perfectly at home. They occupy five cases in the Romanesque Hall, a space that resembles a great medieval hall where a lord – or King – might once have played with chesspieces just like these.
The Lewis chessmen fire our imagination because they are miniature people carved with great skill and intricacy from walrus tusks. They are generally considered to be mournful, grumpy or comic because of their squat forms, protuberant eyes and down-turned mouths but they are also works of great beauty. This is especially evident from the seated figures of the kings, queens and some of the bishops, all of whom occupy elaborately decorated thrones.
One of the most significant pieces on loan to the Cloisters is the Berserker. This unusual character may not be recognisable to most players of chess but at the time the Lewis chessmen were made in the twelfth century, the Berserker took the place of the modern day rook. He stands armed with a sword and exposes his huge teeth with which he bites into his shield. It is this gesture that identifies him as a Berserker – a fierce warrior drawn from Norse mythology that bites his shield in a self-induced frenzy prior to battle.
The Berserker has been imaginatively used in the merchandise on sale at the Cloisters where T-shirts emblazoned with the Berserker's features broadcast "Berserk for Chess' – I'll be wearing mine in London!
The Cloisters exhibition, The Game of Kings: Medieval Ivory Chessmen from the Isle of Lewis, opens on 15 November and runs until 22 April 2012 during which time New Yorkers will undoubtedly develop Lewis chessmen frenzy.

Posted on 03/05/2012 1:02:35 PM PST by SeekAndFind
While Laura Ingraham waits for an encouraging call from the president to compensate for MSNBC's Ed Schultz calling her a "slut," "reproductive justice" activist Sandra Fluke rejects Rush Limbaugh's sincere expression of regret for calling her the same:
The Georgetown law student who drew an apology from Rush Limbaugh this weekend after the conservative radio host called her a "slut" on his show said that his public apology wasn't sufficient during an appearance on ABC's "The View" today.
"I don't think that a statement like this issued, saying that his choice of words was not the best, changes anything, and especially when that statement is issued when he's under significant pressure from his sponsors who have begun to pull their support," said the 30-year-old student, Sandra Fluke. …
Fluke said she has not heard from Limbaugh personally but added that she's not hoping to speak with him.
"The statements he's made about me over the air are personal enough, so I'd rather not have a personal phone call with him," Fluke said.
Fluke has the luxury to reject his apology in large part because she has the support not only of the president himself, but of big-name advertisers who have exerted bully-like pressure on Limbaugh. (Even The View's Whoopi Goldberg said she found the speed with which they were willing to abandon the radio host to be disturbing!)
At this point, while it's plausible that Rush apologized solely because he's losing sponsors (as Fluke suggested), it's also plausible that he has genuinely repented of his word choice. Limbaugh not only said he was sorry with a statement online, but he also opened his show today — his first on-air appearance since advertisers began to pull their support for his program — with a repeat apology, in which he made it clear that he violated his own personal broadcasting standards. In fact, he took a full 30 minutes to explain the entire episode to his listeners, including an explanation for why his advertisers left him (h/t The Right Scoop):
Ed said this weekend he thinks Rush was right to apologize, but I'm not so sure. He was wrong to use the word "slut" in the first place — it's just a disgusting word that's better left unsaid and Rush's use of it conveniently played into the leftist narrative that conservative men are misogynistic (i.e. it was both tasteless and strategically stupid of Rush to say it) — but his apology makes it seem as though he did something wrong by expressing his opinion about a legitimate subject of national commentary.
Folks have made the argument that Rush's "personal attack" was somehow different than similar name-calling directed to the likes of Laura Ingraham, Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. The argument typically goes something like this: Sarah Palin et. al. are public figures, while Sandra Fluke is a private citizen. But, in this instance, Fluke isn't exactly a "private citizen." She's a seasoned activist who introduced the subject of Georgetown law students' sex lives to the national debate about the Obama administration's religious-liberty-violating contraception mandate.
Indeed, her unwillingness to accept Rush's apology underscores that she's far from a naive private individual who unexpectedly found herself at the center of a national controversy; she made it clear by her remarks on The View that she's prepared to stoke this controversy as long as she derives a benefit from it. As long as advertisers continue to withdraw support for Limbaugh and the left continues to rally around Ms. Fluke, she'll milk his remarks for all they're worth.
The answer: Let's stop giving Fluke the benefit of this controversy. Let's keep the focus where it belongs and patiently continue to correct the misimpression (a.k.a. lie) that conservatives want to ban contraception. Nobody wants to ban contraception, but the Obama administration does want to force religious employers who object to contraception on religious grounds to pay for employee health insurance that includes coverage for contraception. It's to that mandate that conservatives are politically opposed. Some conservatives are also personally opposed to contraception and to sexual promiscuity — but they're not seeking to change the culture through the government. It's progressives who prescribe government solutions to cultural ills and, in the process, jeopardize important freedoms.
Maybe Rush's wife doesn't want him calling loose women...
"lady" is being much too kind.
Not surprised. The left is full of nasty people. She is firmly entrenched in the left wing activist farm team, so I have no doubt she is going to act like a jerk. As expected, Rush will end up looking like the adult in the room.
Just like their other heroes, Rodney King and Anita Hill.
I don't give a Fluke.
So, if she accepted Rush's apology, would her 90 seconds of fame be over? Could that be why she doesn't accept it?
This is nothing more than political warfare
To quote obama, "You can can put lipstick on a pig..."
The View is NOT allowed on in our house...unfortunately I was sitting in the doctor's office today while this interview aired...it was sickening...the "lady" is no lady...
RE: lady is being much too kind.
Note my /s tag :)
Looks like she hit the attention jackpot with this one. She will play this one to the limit as 'professional victim' national star.
RE: I dont give a Fluke.
You should have taken the 'l' and the 'e' out :)
Rush should have never apologized for telling the truth about this publicity seeking sexually loose feminist, pro-abortion fruitcake.
What do you expect from losers who get stuck with the bill?
And like the good dolts they are, the audience will clap like seals and cheer for the slut.
Whoopi is onto something there. She knows that what happened to Rush with the advertisers who so swiftly walked out (including those businesses whose success largely was due to Rush's endorsement in the first place) could as easily happen to a lefty.
Oh, nobody knows if Miz Flook has the body of an alley cat, but she sure has a mind that would be outclassed by alley cats. She sympathizes with SLUTs, she advocates for taxpayer coverage of SLUTs.
Her 15 minutes are just about up. And then the fun will begin as OUR investigative media start digging up all kinds of stuff on her.
"To not give a Fluke" shall become a new proverb shortly.
Some reports are stating Fluke is a homosexual lesbian - any confirmation on that lifestyle?
Oh, one of dem dere "homosexual lesbians"...
not just your ordinary lesbian, eh?
Shouldn't she be apologizing to Rush and the rest of us taxpayers for the attempt to force us to pay for her and others' contraception!?
The are conflicting reports - I've heard she's a heterosexual lesbian!
Though I get Rush's meaning in using those two terms to describe that "ho," what it did was make her a media star. The propagandists will be playing this up for weeks.
And unfortunately, the current popular culture of New America is on her side.
Yes he should. Rush did the EXACT right thing. WHY? Because it was the RIGHT thing to do, unlike the left who are a bunch of losers! This has nothing to do with what Ms Fluke is, it has to do with using a derogatory term to describe a woman he didn't know. He used the wrong term and that's why he apologized. Unlike Ms. Fluke, who is a pitiful human being for not accepting a sincere apology Rush rose to the occasion and held responsibility.
That's the difference between the gracious nature of Rush, and the obdurate ugliness of both Ms. Fluke and many on the left.
The easy ones to remember are the Kuwait who said incubators were being stolen. Clinton had his for spending a billion dollars to missle a drug factory.
MSM are puppets who don't even know strings are being pulled.
The sheep don't get it.
This is one of the best gracphics I have seen i laughed out loud. I hope Rush gets a chance to see this :)
RE: Looks like she hit the attention jackpot with this one. She will play this one to the limit as professional victim national star.
She's auditioning to be the new GLORIA ALLRED.
Why do lesbians always try to look like men?
Pray for America
RE: Doing so would erase her victim status. You're smarter than this, Rush.
So what should Rush do? withdraw his apology?
That is a legal question, and I am certainly no expert. But I can imagine the argument: "Should a citizen who comes before congress be subject to such damaging claims with no legal remedy?" (They could try to make the case that her fame was not really her own doing, but it happened beyond her control).
And as I have said before, the Left excels at judge-shopping. Her object would not be primarily to win in court (although Limbaugh might settle out of court), but to create a legal/political media circus.
I hope this does not happen, because I don't see it as a political plus for conservatism, unless some character like Hillary gets caught doing something illegal or undeniably sleazy (from the point of view of "moderates").
We should go after "The View's" advertisers.
I'm tired of those old liberal hens offending us.
I'm serious.
It's time the left start living by their own standards.
Going on The View was a good move. She suddenly looks comparatively less slutty when sitting next to Joy Behar.
Just heard AOL dropped Rush, but like he said today, he'll get more sponsors. Sounds like some are just waiting to be accepted.
RE: We should go after The Views advertisers.
Speaking of advertisers, Rush said on his show today that through the years, he has had to turn down advertisers to his show. One of the big ones according to him was GM. He said he could not in good conscience, accept them as advertisers while at the same time criticizing them for accepting the bailout money, sticking it to the bondholders, and giving up a huge chunk of the company to the unions.
In other words, the advertisers need HIM more than he needs them.
NEVER in my lifetime!
During the Soviet show trials, one always had to stand up in front of the court and apologize, and then were taken out and shot.
The Right still hasn't figured this out and thinks they can deal with these people in an honorable way-you can't.
Like 0bama's pathetic apology to Afghanistan all it does is encourage more dissension.
Doesn't matter if Fluke believes him.
It matters if his listeners keep listening. I listened today.
Are there advertisers who want a spot on America's radio program with the largest radio audience by far?
Surely not!!! They much rather advertise to 2 old farts and their dog.
Nothing has changed. Mzzz Fluke is still a nasty militant lesbo on a personal crusade to bring affordable contraceptive to the less fortunate law students ammong us.
Otherwise, She has a five oclock shadow in some pics I have seen of her..haha
Rush was right for apologizing. It puts him on the high ground. Any sane person is going to see the Fluke reject TWO apologies and realize that she's the bastard in all this. Good people forgive others; bad people hold grudges. The more she gets out there rejecting two sincere apologies, the worse she is going to look, I would bet.
Rush should apologize to sluts and prostitutes for saying that Fluke is remotely as moral as they are. Any ordinary half honest slut or protitute would not dream of asking the Jesuits to pay for their lifestyles.

An annual conference for a national free-market think tank next week includes a session on Douglas County's education reform controversy, linking high-powered, conservative groups to controversial school-district changes.
The State Policy Network's online schedule of events lists "The Coalition Blueprint: Network to Win," during which attendees would hear how "think tank, litigation, grassroots, investigative reporting and opposition research leaders formed a coalition in Douglas County, CO to fight a groundbreaking school choice battle," the description reads. "Hear how they messaged their issue campaign, overcame an obstacle as big as the state teachers' union and leveraged their combined networks to become a formidable force."
Speakers scheduled for the Sept. 25 session include representatives of the Independence Institute and Americans for Prosperity,along with American Phoenix Foundation and the State Policy Network (SPN). All but SPN are documented players in Douglas County's current school-board election campaign.
Representatives from the Independence Institute, Americans for Prosperity and American Phoenix Foundation did not return calls to Colorado Community Media requesting comment.
SPN offered no details on the Douglas County-focused session, part of the "Stake Your Claim for Freedom" annual meeting.
"We don't comment officially to media," State Policy Network spokeswoman Jennifer Butler said. "I don't want to comment on what they're speaking about or not speaking about."
Douglas County School District spokeswoman Michelle Yi said the district was unaware of the coalition or scheduled session.
The 21st SPN annual meeting was set for Sept. 24-27 in Oklahoma City.
The American Phoenix Foundation, described on its website as a nonpartisan education foundation that aims "to protect the American Republic through ethical, innovative, and technologically driven journalism," is led by CEO Joseph Basel.
Basel, a featured speaker at the SPN session on Douglas County schools, is a partner with Texas-based C3 Strategies LLC. The address listed for C3 Strategies is the same as that shown on the Colorado Secretary of State registration for C3 Solutions, which lists its other name as DougCo Champions for Kids, a group supporting the current school board.
Officers listed for C3 Solutions/DougCo Champions include Damon Sasso and Michael Krause, both of the Independence Institute, and former conservative political activist Benjamin Wetmore. Sasso also is a featured speaker representing the Independence Institute at SPN's Douglas County session.
Basel and Wetmore were figures in a 2010 incident nicknamed the Louisiana Watergate. Basel eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for entering Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office to allegedly record conversations. Basel and three other men charged in the incident stayed at Wetmore's home days before the Landrieu incident.
The Independence Institute is helping to finance DougCo Champions for Kids' campaign efforts, which include public meetings, surveys and campaign material distribution. A member of the libertarian think tank's staff sat on DCSD's Choice Task Force in 2010. The institute, referred to in an August Denver Post article as "the unapologetic Ivy League frat house of Colorado politics," supports education vouchers and charter schools, and actively opposes recent gun-control efforts.
The Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity, whose controversial parent organization has strong ties to right-wing causes, recently launched the "It's Working" ad campaign support of Douglas County School District's education reforms.
SPN is dedicated to "fighting to limit government and advance market-friendly public policy at the state and local levels," according to its website.

I testified to the congressional Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday regarding infrastructure, which means roads, bridges, pipelines, railroads, and other such assets. Here are some of the points I raised:
Downsizing Blog
Cutting Military Spending, Rethinking Grand Strategy
The Associated Press's Pauline Jelinek has a story on the wires/Interwebs today that pokes holes in Leon Panetta's claim that Pentagon budget cuts on the order of those contemplated under the debt deal's sequestration provisions would be "devastating to the department." Jelinek quoted me, as well as the Center for American Progress's Larry Korb, and the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment's Todd Harrison.
Coburn Report on Subsidies for Millionaires
Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) new report on the various federal subsidies being collected by millionaires deserves applause for not resorting to class warfare rhetoric in making the point that it's silly for wealthy folks to receive taxpayer handouts:
Federal Energy Failures
In the Washington Post, Steven Mufson does a nice job describing how Solyndra is just one of many energy subsidy failures of recent decades.
Obama Demonstrates Why 'Government Efficiency' Is a Joke
By the time I stopped working for Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), I had concluded that the pursuance of so-called "government efficiency" was largely a misguided waste of time for a politician who was interested in achieving smaller government. (I've been pleased to see my old boss spend more time trying to cut and eliminate programs since my departure.)
Farm Subsidies and Risk Management
There has been much written recently about the so-called shallow loss proposals to provide subsidies for farms in cases when farm revenues fall slightly below the record high levels of the past few years.
GOP Fingerprints on the 'Christmas Tree Tax'
The Drudge Report's headlining of a Heritage Foundation story titled "Obama Couldn't Wait: His New Christmas Tree Tax" has created quite a stir. In fact, it is being reported that the administration is now going to delay its implementation due to the outcry. Conservatives and Republicans are particularly incensed. However, it appears that they might want to rethink their Obama-as-Grinch narrative.
Uh-Oh: Bipartisan Housing Commission Announced
The words "bipartisan" and "commission" usually send a chill down my spine. I felt such a chill when I learned that the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) had formed a Housing Commission to "address the long-term challenges facing a struggling housing sector." My initial reaction was confirmed when I read that it would be chaired by former government officials and politicians of the establishment type:
'Government Efficiency': Trying to Turn Cats into Dogs
I'll have more to say later on Mitt Romney's speech on federal spending, but his banal call for making government more "efficient" gave me an opportunity to share some good commentary on the subject. In a recent piece criticizing Indiana's Republican-led state government for not doing "anything substantive to improve Indiana's budgetary, fiscal or economic position," Craig Ladwig, editor of the Indiana Policy Review, nails it:
The Pentagon and Jobs
Desperate to fend off cuts in military spending, the defenders of the status quo are claiming that potential reductions included in the debt ceiling deal's sequestration provision would result in huge job losses. In September, Leon Panetta suggested that cuts of up to $1 trillion would increase the nation's unemployment rate by a full percentage point, and put up to 1.5 million people out of work.

Tbe Repopulation will be what SWTOR shouldve been.
Lol... I'm so mad that, at least for 30 seconds after reading it, I misunderstood that entire thing. I didn't read the numbers as a listing. I thought those were subsequent releases of SWTOR and you were saying each of these features GW2 has is gonna be better than the next 8 or so versions of Star Wars The Old Republic...
Oh boy am I silly.
This won't end well...
I agree though...
To be honest I can't understand how you can like one and hate the other... they are both WoW clones anyway...
They are both pretty much... well... meh.
GW2 is far from perfect if that is what you were getting at. While the points you bring up may paint a rosey picture for GW2 (and few could discount the points of comparison), GW2 does have a rather drab storyline, lack of emotes, lack of guild usefulness, lack of proression, lack of character purpose & comparison / rivalries with other characters. GW2 is extremely more anti-social than SWTOR, although that's not saying much since SWTOR had a strong single player focus as well, just not as bad.
Both games are just a throwaway themepark style game that someone will eventually get bored of, although SWTOR had more longevity (to me). 3 months of SWTOR compared to < 1 month of GW2. meh
Oh and SWTOR had a helluva lot better music score than GW2 has.
So ... SWTOR isn't the perfect MMORPG, but neither is GW2. If they ever had a child, it would be a kickass MMORPG though!
Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History"
Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
Has the most bias fans that would tell a load of bull and gloat about it despite having no bearings on it. Gw2 > SWTOR.
Seriously, I'm not huge on GW2 as it is, i don't need you fanboys making it worst. Its bad enough for me SWTOR > GW2 (utilzing your lame post there and what you used) and I find SWTOR cringe worthy in terms of lot of its design choices and gameplay. Threads like this only make me look down more at GW2.
Yes, I didn't need to do that stupid > comparison, but heck, why not copy something stupid the thread started doing. XD

No you aren't silly.
Generally, when people write lists, they do so in the following manner:
1. blah
2. blah blah
3. etc.
In fact, rules of proper writing exist to aid in comprehension. When you don't follow the rules, the writer risks the audience confusing the meaning.
These rules also exist for the author as much as the reader. Most people write intending the words to be read. Therefore, it is implicit in the act of writing that the author wishes his words to be 'understood'. Therefore, a set of rules exist which not only help with the reader's understanding, but also help the author express meaning.
Ironically, 'grammar Nazi's' are often derided by authors. The person actually is sympathetic to the author. They understand the author is trying to clearly convey an idea, and they are attempting to help with that. Sadly, this often takes the form of sarcasm or at the highest aspiration, satire.
I too, upon reading the original post felt it 'hurt' my brain for the lack of organization.
As to the content of his post, I think my post tells you what I believe its merits to be. While I too believe GW2 to be a better game than ToR, the motives of the author were a lot clearer than the way he organized his list.
SMDH @ GW2 is a wow clone.
It might be many things right now, especially with the vertical grind addition but it's no clone, anyone still claiming that has never played it once. smh
On a side note, I'm finding out that people will spend money on just about anything doesn't matter how bad anymore. Just look at the climb in numbers in WoW. (even tho I haven't seen any new reports since just after MoP launched really.) Just look at how many people watched the honey boo boo child show or jersey shore. Point is people are going to pay for crap, even when they know it's crap. SWTOR isn't on the top of the list of great products imo either.
I playing TOR ,dont care for GW2...
GW2 is great game but I just I dislike it,hate asian bassed graphic , GW fantasy setting world/universe... but as I say it is great mmo
only EVE is real MMO...but I am impressive with TSW
two very diffrent games.
GW2 at least got publishes who care about game not only profit.

Unfortunately for the genre, WoW is still better than both GW2 and SWTOR.

Keeping the AH offline for weeks at launch making the only way to make gold was to buy gems from their store with real money and then use those gems (you paid real money for) to buy in game gold. Hmm your right they dont care about profit lol
LOL this guy let me put my damn tin foil hat on.

Which is why it is P2P and the others are F2P.
It is not fair to compare F2P games with P2P.
Ppl are looking for the best thing the problem is that their isnt one. What we have now is different MMO for different kind of players. They will not be a one MMO better than another.
Each player has its own liking and will choose the game it likes the most. To get a new mmo that will have more than 10m players like wow, the dev have to comply to every player type which is hard sense we are getting more atune to what we like.
1. WoW : Most players that dont need a hardcore machine, and enjoy the warcraft lore.
2. Rift : Players that dont want to play WOW but want to play a new story completely
3. GW2 : Players that want to play a MMORPG but dont want to be logged for hours straight. The best benefit of a nonsub game.
4. SWTOR : Star Wars Fans of any type, also for players that prefer scifi lore.
5. TSW : Players that want to play on envirorement similar as reality instead of fantasy world or outer space
I myself played WoW, SWTOR, TSW, GW2, at the moment im with GW2 because i dont feel that im loosing money when I play (I'm a family man) also the lore for me is unique and different so that is something i like a lot. But the same may not be for you.
Time spent in-game SWTOR>GW2.
While I have been a critic of SWTOR, playing it through to max level was far more enjoyable than leveling in GW2. To this day I still don't have a GW2 character above level 30 and dont ever see myself hitting max level in that game. In SWTOR I got to max level with two toons before I threw in the towel.

Oh wow now the haters are resorting to name calling very mature. Btw I do not think its the best MMO but I am enjoying it along with a lot of others. Im sorry you take it so personal that others like a VIDEO GAME!!!
What i hate is not the game but certain players that start comparing. I;m a Gw2 player but the OP really had to go that far to compare. SWTOR is for some ppl and Gw2 is for others and thats that.

Jeeze Charlie, a guy can't change his mind? Enty makes it sound wussy but living together isn't Destiny..ReplyCancel
Penn did a little tv in the 70s/early 80s… But I don't think he'd be B list & I don't know if they live together… He just sprang to mind while reading this.ReplyCancel

Oooh I think Violet got it!ReplyCancel
If she's married to Brody, then who is the guy from Entourage that was in the Britney video?ReplyCancel
Adrien Granier?ReplyCancel
Charlie Conway would never!!
(Aka Joshua Jackson started in film)ReplyCancel
No, I get that. The wording just makes him sound a bit weak. That being said… I am relying on the sentence structure of Enty.ReplyCancel
Gossling is A list!ReplyCancel
Don't even ask me how I remember the Britney Spears Crazy video—-doubts Britney does…ReplyCancel
Yeah that's the guy. Think he sleeps in hotels?ReplyCancel
Don't you dare, Derek! Don't you dare try to distance yourself from Britney. You know you watched that Making the Video over and over and cried when she couldn't figure out the new step-and-turn.ReplyCancel
haha I know he has stayed in a Hilton a few times ; )
damaged goods….
Charlie, that sentence about Kendra? Took information conveyance to a new personal low for Enty.ReplyCancel
Guilty Kristin—-that video was a CLASSIC btw. Complete role-reversal—Adrien played the role of the one that is the hot geek when he finally takes his glasses off—-very groundbreakingReplyCancel
I'm considering starting a Kickstarter account to pay for Enty to enroll in a basic writing course. I swear sometimes he makes my eyes bleed.ReplyCancel
Gosling is A listReplyCancel
Poor Ryan is stuck with Eva and her smelly snatch for another 18 years! Unless someone sets him free! Ryan Ryan run!!!ReplyCancel
Is Eva's vagina bedazzled? I don't get why Ryan friggin Gosling would stick with that women for so long, let alone cook a pie in her EZ-Bake Oven…ReplyCancel

He's spending a lot of time in ny, and says he plans to stay there. I bet Anniston is paying to say how hot their feet areReplyCancel
Gosling is A.ReplyCancel
Outta curiosity, what Hotel does Hamm hull up in??ReplyCancel
Leighton and Adam are NYC based now.ReplyCancel
Whatever VIP said.ReplyCancel
The reason Diane is alone in LA lately is because her show films in LA, and Josh's show is filming in NY for the summer.
Enty keeps pointing out pics of her "alone" and he/she skips posting all of the pics of them "together" either in LA or NY. They were just in Paris together this past weekend, and she's spending this wknd in NY for her birthday.
But it's a better story I guess if Enty keeps trying to say they're breaking up.ReplyCancel

text: A story on Hollywood blog Grantland reports news on a possible "Party Down" movie, to be (hopefully) filmed next summer. On the set of "Parks & Recreation", Adam Scott reportedly said: "We have a treatment.....and if everyones schedules work out, well shoot [the film] over the summer." This info comes on the heels of a previous report that the film already has a production company lined up and was only waiting on the go-ahead from Starz. With any luck, if all goes well the movie could be in theaters by 2013, around the same time that the "Arrested Development" movie should be hitting theaters as well. Are we having fun yet????

Comments: Great lure. I have my best luck rigging them weightless and jerking them right below the surface. The bass vacuum them and the rock fish side swipe them. Better than top water action in my opinion! I can say with confidence, if the water is dirty, throw the pearl silver and hold your breath.
From: Fishin Magician: VA 2/27/14
Comments: WOW! Savage Gear continues to impress and where I live in Northwestern Ontario out in the middle of nowhere I am lucky to have world-class fishing loads of walleye,unbelievable smallmouth bass fishingand then there are the monsters,muskies that prey on full grown ducks and northern pike that exceed 50 inches (4 last summer)all fall prey to this marvel of a soft plastic. Like no other these produce all year even thru the ice(no kidding). Fish seem to have a vengeance when they get a bead on the 4-play and once sight fishing for big pike' I had my lure hanging a few inches out of the water and a pike came up and struck it while out of the water! I almost dropped my rod it surprised me so much. My fellow fishermen pick up a couple of these start fishing fast then when you slow down after locating your fish instead of using live bait or slow moving jigs fish these great-baits slow and the explosive strikes are awesome. After trying the 4-play I leave the minnow bucket at home! Nuff said.
From: Danfish: Northern Ontario, Canada
Comments: this bait is awesome , straight retrieve this looks like the real deal , pause when retrieving and it start to die like a real dieing fish , give her a few twitches and it looks like a real injured minnow . I give this a 9.5 just because nothing is perfect , but it's pretty close. Tip buy the swim bait hook for it there designed well and can be used for other soft baits . That's if you'll ever throw another one .

Comments: I seen video on youtube, the guy was catching giant pike off these, look similar to magic swimmer soft but more action in video. I have both sizes of magic swimmer soft and these look great in video. These catch fish and hope to get some when they stock up again, looks sold out in all smaller sizes which I want.

Comments: These look amazing on the tw video, where are the exclusive colors?? If made available I would probably be using nothing else this time of the year.
Comments: great producing bait. The 3.75 inch works great for bass and even for trout. When used with a jighead you can either swim it or jig it on the bottom. I was very suprised how good the action was Very durable.
Comments: What hook is everyone using with the 5 inch?

Comments: I totally disagree with the review of Mike, this lure is super strong and durable! If you don't believe me go check some video of this lure and you will see that this babe right here, is build for cow! This is my goto lure when i'm fishing pike so those are really durable lures! Try them out, you won't be dissapointed!
