Comments: Outstanding comfort, control, power and touch. Does it all, and very well. I sometimes try other
strings but end up cutting them out and returning to NXT 16.
From: Dan, 11/16
Comments: Wilson NXT is one of the best multifilaments I have ever used. I am an ex-collegiate tennis player
and now coach. I do still play competitively also. A lot of people will talk about durability with this string. Here is what I
have observed through using it myself and stringing client's equipment. For 2.0-4.0 men/women's drills/leagues, this string
is perfect. It doesn't move, offers nice access to spin, durable, and very comfortable to the body. When you start to get
above 4.0 into players that hit more spin and power, the durability of this string will drastically go down. I assume that most
advanced players stringing their own rackets or stringers know that full beds of NXT are not sustainable. This leads to my
experience with it. I strung it in a Wilson Blade 18x20 with Luxilon Alu Power Rough in the mains 52 lbs and Wilson NXT
Comfort in the crosses at 54 lbs pre stretched. This setup was absolutely amazing. The 18x20 Blade naturally lacks spin
sometimes but with this setup I did not have trouble. NXT Comfort is the perfect cross string to soften the string bed a little
bit and also liven it up. If you are someone who has tried this string and didn't like the durability, I would highly recommend
hyrbiding with a string like Luxilon Alu Power. You will be in for a treat.
From: Andrew, 3/16
Comments: In the past 15 months, 6 of my students used Wilson NXT but almost in every case (about 8-9
racquets), the strings lasted 2-5 days with severe fraying and wear. A couple students (men's open or college players) hit
very big and their strings broke within 2 days. So I restrung them with Technifibre NRG or Babolat Excel which were
superior in performance and durability. I don't recommend NXT unless Wilson manages quality control better.
From: Doug, 1/16
Comments: I started stringing my Prince Tour ESP 100 with this string at 60 lbs mains and 57 lbs crosses. I
found it
very consistent with hardly any separation after hitting. It seems to hold tension very well. I had negative feelings about 2
ago with this string but glad I decided to try it again.
From: Mike, 12/14
Comments: I used this string in a Pro Staff 90 demo, and it played great! Of course, the racquet itself had to
account for a lot, if not most of the great performance; however, I used this demo for a solid amount of time with consistent
(or what I consider to be consistent spin) and although it started to fray a little. It played close to perfect for me from the
beginning to the end. It could use just a small bit of spin, but otherwise it is absolutely great.
From: Erik, 6/14
Comments: Well, since real, consistent spin comes from racquet head speed, and not really a gimick like
shape, these strings are amazing for anything you want to do. Durability is the only problem, but if they were more durable
they wouldn't have the same playability and basically wouldn't be the same string. So I guess that's just the way the
crumbles on this one. They are $18.95 unless Wilson does that tease with the on again off again four pack special just to
get rid
of the old packaging style or whatever. And while the play like natural gut, they really don't because there isn't nearly as
string to deal with as natural gut, so it's more of your power than the power of natural gut thrown in. But yes, playability is
amazing like gut, just not as much power that you have to figure out a way to harness like nat gut. Spin chews these
things up,
but it is a perfect string until it's all frayed and has lost its power.
From: Adam, 6/14
Comments: I am a 4.5 player that hits with a lot of topspin. These strings are very soft and arm friendly but
durabiltiy is horrible. They start to show wear in 30 minutes and most often break within 2 hours of play.
From: Stan, 5/14
Comments: Awesome string that I have stuck to for the last year and a half. Downside -- it lasts me me about
sets. Upside -- I restring my own racquets. If you restring racquets or have a fat wallet this is great. If not, I would look for

Comments: Great string -- lots of pop and control. It has power on overheads and good control on net volleys.
play a lot frays and loses power after 3 months, most strings do. .
From: Steve, 2/14
Comments: I used this string for my cross strings in a self-made hybrid. The mains were Luxilon Big Banger
Rough. I put string-a-lings in the string bed. And still the Wilson NXT was showing visible signs of wear and fraying, after
eight games. If that amount of wear continues, I don't think these strings will last three matches.
From: Christian, 11/13
Comments: I play at the 3.5/4.0 level with stiff racquets with a head size of 105", with semi long swings, a
similar to Edberg, and I ususally string around 62 lbs. It takes about 5 hours for it to settle at maybe 57 lbs, from then on
strings play with a very nice feel and still with power, similar to my old gut on older smaller racquets. As one reviewer
stated, they
fray well in advance of breaking, and lastly they stay good for maybe 6 months of playing some 6 hours a week. But, for my
daughters who play with extreme acceleration and topspin the life of this string is shorter, maybe by half!
From: Sven, 6/13
Comments: I definitely have to agree with the people who find the durability to be a problem. I like to hybrid,
so I
wanted to experiment with a new combo. Some of my friends use NXT 16 so I put it in the mains with Luxilon Adrenalines
in the
crosses and it frayed and broke after 3 days (I play 2hours a day). I really liked the playability but it's not worth the $17.
From: Lincoln, 4/13
Comments: I have to agree with Martin. I don't usually write reviews but in this case I do want to share my
experience with these strings. I strung my racket with NXT 16 @ 56lbs. After 1 hour and 20 min the string snapped! What a
of $17 a box plus the time it took me to string my racquet.

NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments: I have to say, I love the way this string plays, but like so many others it's very disappointing is the
durability. The string frays immediately and after a couple of months of playing 2 times a week, I have to have them
replaced. I
wish I could find another string that plays as well for me, but more durable.
From: Juan, 11/12
Comments: I usually don't write reviews, but I want to share my experience with NXT 16. I strung it as my
with Luxilon in the mains. I'm about 5.0 player and wanted to try something new. 1 hour and 10 minutes on clay and the

From: Martin, 9/12
Comments: I'm very disappointed in this string. It has a very short life span. It started to fray after only a few
hours of play. I suppose if you could restring every week or two it would be fine. However, I'm not in that position. I will
looking for another string.
From: Kelly, 9/12
Comments: This string is really bad, as it lost tension after 4 days. What a waste
From: Nico, 7/12
Comments: I used this string as a main with a Luxilon poly in the crosses. It played well but only lasted three
of doubles before breaking.
From: Brian, 4/12
Comments: This is so far the worst string I have ever used. I used it as cross in a hybrid
combination with Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power Rough 16L. I admit it was very soft and had a
dampened feel but that were all the goodies. Broke only after couple of hours (4-5) and completely made useless the
mains. Very
bad value for the money. You'd better go for the Technifibre NRG2 or even the cheaper Wilson Sensation. Never (did I say)
will I use this string again.
From: Enyu, 1/12
Comments: Yes this string was awesome, yes...WAS! I don't know what in the world is going on over at Wilson
the quality of this string has taken a nosedive. I never had a problem with it till recently when it snapped while stringing,
apart in three places on a serve, and started fraying after about a week and a half (I usually got 3-4 good weeks out of a

Comments: This is got to be the best multifilament out there! Soft, powerful, good feeling, and good durability
based on how I hit. I have this one strung on a Wilson (k) Kobra Tour @57 lbs, and a Wilson BLX Pro.Open @ 58 lbs. Just
Now, if you are used to hitting with polys, you might not like the NXT. Some people have said that this string does not
much topspin. Believe it or not folks, but how much topspin you hit actually depends on the type of racquet you're using
too. The
racquet's static weight, swingweight, balance, and total mass are all key factors. My (k)Kobra Tour is customized to weight
and 8pts HL, and I hit "crazy good" spins. My opponents think I'm using Luxilon, and are shock when I tell them "no, I'm
not". If
you use multifilaments, then you'll love the NXT!

Comments: Not very spin friendly
4.0 all-around player and I have been hitting with NTX 16 @ 58lbs and REALLY like the way they feel BUT I cannot keep a
set for
more than a month. I have a strong serve and apply some pretty aggressive slice/spin to at times (being a lefty) and it took
me all
of about 5 days to snap my first set, the second set lasted 3 weeks, the last 2 about a month... looking for something with
wear, the feel. I have no problem with applying my own pace to shots so don't need a trampoline like string...

playing with it after 2-3 hours of play. It feels dead. From my strings, I want a few things in the following order: (1) does not
my hand (2) control & feel (3) consistency (4) power (5) longevity. For the past year, I tried different strings and tensions
once every 6 weeks. I find Luxilon strings best. For more feel, I would use Ace 18 on main and Fluoro 17 on cross. For
power, I would use Fluoro 17 on main and ALU Power 16L. I use mid-3, -4, or -5 tensions. Tension precision is not
important ---
we, humans, can make adjustments. Federer plays with different string tensions and racquet weight in a single match. But
with the
lower tensions, there is less/no pain and more feel, even with Luxilon strings. You can hold the ball much longer in the
(more bite & feel). I use Federer's racquet (the one before BLX) with 3 layers of 4" strip weight (12 strips total). Fast, full
Note: for people with fast swing, lowering tension actually lowers power. Experiment and see.
From: PH, HOUSTON, TX, USA, 09/10
Comments: Although Wilson nxt string costs a bit more, it's a great choice for club player's, that are looking
for a
softer, arm friendly string, I have it strung in a head microgel radical at 58lbs and it play's very nicely, high quality string,
definitely worth a try.
From: Ricardo, Rio de janeiro, Brazil, 07/10
Comments: These strings are very stable with good control. Although on the expensive side, the strings are
worth it. The feel is amazing. As I am Serving and Slapping the ball around the court I really get the feel of the ball and
where it is going to go which I can control.
From: Richard, Piedmont, CA, United States 03/10
Comments: The NXT 16 string is a very stable string. I had my instructor install the string in my 6.3 Hyper
at 63 pounds. I have to say I was impressed with the string. Hits are firm and with my string pattern being dense(18 by 19)
strokes have a comfortable feel when coming off the racquet. I can hit with spin more since the string pattern does not
allow as
much abrasions. I can also hit flat with no problem whatsoever. My serve is even more solid because the strings propels
the ball
off the racquet due to the string pattern and the strength of the strings. The durability is very impressive. Only mishap is
strings move around a bit because I do hit with pretty excessive spin. However you can't expect to brush up the back of
the ball
and not expect to have the strings move pretty frequently when hitting with topspin. Overall though a very solid and stable
I mainly hit with NXT 17 string which is my favorite string.
From: Brian, Houston, TX 12/09
Comments: If you're not worried about price or durability then this is an excellent string. I use it in my K-Blade
@ 59lb and it offers fantastic control. For players with plenty of topspin this might be too soft unless you don't mind it
strung every other week, like me...
From: Matt, NZ. 11/09
Comments: I have every reason to believe that this is the most overrated string in history. I really don't
why they call it "soft", it hurt my wrist like crazy right after I played with it freshly strung, same tension as all my other

is horrible and so is the comfort. Like all other Wilson products, overrated and cheap, except with an expensive price. The
Tecnifibre NRG 2 is way better.
From: Daniel, East Meadow, NY, USA, 09/09
Comments: "REALLY AMAZING." This string is the best string I have played. I like this string at 55 pounds on
Babolat Pure Drive GT, I think that the racquet, also greatly, contributes to the power of the string and the string pattern
determines the control. Unfortunately there is no reel version of this string.
This is one of the best, the only string that I decided to use.
From: Jaime, Lima, Peru. 7/09
Comments: This string is one of the beast for control. But, do not keep
it in hot weather or in your hot garage it will change the string to
rocket launch power. I am so amazed by this string that I have found
part of my favorite string combo. It has nice feel, beautiful approach
shots, and average serves and spin (that is why you hybrid it with a
Luxilon string or something). Bravo Wilson!

Protector strings (I have tennis elbow). Both are equal in terms of comfort, but the Wilson NXT plays better.
From: charles, burnaby, bc, canada. 3/09
Comments: Great strings actually, good blend of power, and control. Only bad thing is the durability; it lasted
me 5
weeks and I play like 2 days each week and around 3-4 hours on those days. Anyways good strings but would be great if it
had durability.
From: Anon. 2/09
Comments: Omg I decided to use this string because of all the good comments here, but it was a waste of
It has so much pop so it's hard to control and I like to create my own power so the strings made my shots go long and
have no
control, the only good thing about this string is that it holds tension well. I would recommend strings like Wilson Stamina
Gamma Marathon strings they are durable and have best feel and control. I'm going to try the Wilson Ultimate Duo
because I want
the durable string feel and control and a multifilament's spin.

with Luxilon alu power rough 16l and the control is great and even if you want power it gives you power. But the spin is fair
not the great spin that I thought I was going to get. If you want control and some power with not so much spin and some or

From: Peter, Chicago, IL. 6/08
Comments: I'm a 5.0 aggressive baseline player and strung this at 54 lbs with my Wilson K-Factor Tour. It's
nearly as good as natural gut or a hybrid string with natural gut, but it is still a very good string. I have nothing negative to
about the string because it does everything well. It is very comfortable, great spin, decent power and pretty durable. I think
would rather pay the extra 5 bucks to get a hybrid gut string, though.
From: Bryen, Austin, TX, USA. 3/08
Comments: It's very comfortable. Easy on your wrist, arm and shoulder. The string is responsive. The best
I've used.
From: Frank, South Carolina. 2/08
Comments: This string was awful. I am a 5.5 player who 'usually' has good control. I had been using Gamma
and I decided to try this based on the reviews. I have never played tennis as bad as I did when I used these strings. I had
control. The ball refused to dip in the court and when I tried to add spin, it would produce no pace or bite. Very poor....
From: Jimmy, Wallingford, PA, USA, 01/08
Comments: I have played with NXT 17 gauge for about one year. First of all, I disagree with Gus's post saying
string plays great for five sets then goes dead. The sting plays very well from the first ball to the moment it snaps. Even
after it
frays, it continues to hold tension and play well. Second, NXT makes the sweetspot feel larger. Even balls hit near the
frame still
have some power, not unlike gut. Spin is good, and control and power are great. If you can't afford gut, this is the closest
and the only string that plays anything like gut. Main draw back is price. I use Gosen Sheep Micro 16 when on a budget.
From: Nate, Dallas, TX. 10/07
Comments: I play at a solid 5.0 level. I use an old school players racquet, the head pro tour 280 midplus. It is
similar to the new Pro Kennex Redondo midplus. I like this string at 55 pounds with a little lead tape at 2 and 10 o'clock. I
the Tecnifibre NRG 16 and the Wilson NXT 17 and I prefer the softer feel of the Wilson NXT 16 gauge. I block a lot of
returns and
it's easier on my arm and more effective for blocking returns. I feel I generate more power than I do with the other two. It's
more effective for me.
From: Selles, Chicago, IL, USA, 01/07
Comments: Excellent, feels like hitting with a Natural Gut. I usually have one racquet strung with synthetic
and whatever gives natural gut-like feeling is a must. I used to use Yonex Speed 850, which is amazingly good. But when I
the NXT, it was another world. Even more spin without spoiling control and feel is second to none. This goes best with my
Pro Staff Tour 90.
From: Yasuhiro, Okayama, Japan, 01/07
Comments: Relatively good string. I had my new Pure Drive Cortex strung with it at 60 lbs, and it played
The best part of this string was definitely the comfort. This could have been part due to my racquet, but the stringbed was
soft as
a pillow. I had some trouble trying to get a decent amount of topspin, and I found a lot of my shots (especially approach
going long. As a result, I had to lower the power I was putting on my shots to keep it in. The power on these strings was
maybe a
little below average, but not a problem. Overall, a good string. Would I buy it again? No. I'm going to try Luxilion Big
Banger ALU
Power Rough, which is supposed to have great spin and high durability.
From: Jud, Chicago, IL, USA. 12/06
Comments: I play high school tennis and I am a power and control player, after I hit many forehands and slice
shots, this string frays and snaps. I love the original feel of the string though.
From: Marco, Greenfield, Wisconsin USA 07/06
Comments: This string is the best string I have played with yet. I am a 4.5-5.0 player and suffer from
tennis elbow. Every aspect of my game got better and softer with this string, however after playing for the third
time the string felt dead as a wall.
From: Gil, Philadelphia, PA 04/06
Comments: I play 17 hours per week and this string does really well for my
tennis elbow. But it only lasts me 2-3 days and it is really expensive here in Catalonia.
From: Xavi, Igualada, Barcelona, Catalonia 01/06
Comments: With regards to playability and arm friendliness, Wilson NXT is a
very impressive multi. It plays just like
advertised, soft but not mushy, great feel on balls, especially on drop shots, and the
sweetspot feels larger with this string.
However, durability is a major problem especially for those hard-hitters with topspins. The
string will fray very fast at the
sweetspot area, then it loses playability. Highly recommended to beginners and
intermediate players or the weekend warriors.
From: Roger, Houston, TX, USA. 11/05
Comments:For the first 5 or so sets, this string is awesome. But after that they
start to go dead and pretty soon become hard, stiff and useless. I hit hard but I'm not a string
breaker. I hate cutting out strings which I often have to do with these. I've used NXT 16s for 1
year and a half but I'm abandoning them for natural gut because they play better and play
better longer. I may even save money in the long run. If you break strings fast, I recommend
From: Gus, Toronto, Canada 10/21/05
Comments: I have used this string for about one and a half years and have had
to re-string about once every two weeks. I
am impressed with the durability and the way it hits. I am super champ qualified and play
every day. I am now changing to Luxilon big
banger alu power rough for its spin and durability. I highly recommend this string for beginners
and intermediate players.
From:Barrett, Country: Dallas, TX, USA.
Comments: This string is good for spin. I hit very good slice with this string and I
can hit nasty drop shots. I'm not sure how long the strings last because I've only had them a
From: Jeff, New York USA 7/05
Comments: Very nice string. Very soft and provides great comfort and playability.
I would though recommend to string it
with a higher tension then any other string since this one is very soft. Highly recommended.
From: Leon, CT, USA. 2/05
Comments: Wilson NXT 16 is a great string. I love the increase feel and better
bite on top spin shots over other strings I have tried. I like my racquet strung pretty tight
(70lbs), but the string hold up quite well. I usually play 2-3 times a week and get about 3
weeks of play before fraying is too bad. At that point the tension has decreased too much, so
the timing is great for me. Excellent string!
From: Renaldo, New Orleans, LA, USA. 12/03
Comments: I love the Wilson NXT string. It boosted my power of my tennis
game. My first NXT 16 string only lasted 3 weeks. That made me feel I'm the strongest
Chinese woman new tennis player in the whole Walnut Ranch Park.
From: Bunri, Walnut, CA, USA. 5/03
Comments: Wilson NXT 16 is a very nice string, aside from quickly fraying from
my topspin and backspin, it is a very playable synthetic, and ranks in my top 5 strings to use.
From: Colin, Victoria, TX. USA 7/02
Comments: The Wilson NXT 16 is a very soft string, providing great
touch and feel. However, I don't hit with a lot of power and play 2 to 3 times a week and the
string lasted about 3 weeks. The 17 gauge string lasted about 10 days. I am looking for a
string that provides good feel with better durability and I am currently trying Prince Wrapsure.
From: David, Atlanta, GA. USA 4/02
Comments: NXT 16 is a SOFTER string, yet very responsive. I found
that it holds up well, but starts to fray when hitting big topspin shots for hours. On the same
count, at least with my experience, most monos break way before NXT starts fraying.
From: Bora, Message Board post, USA, 11/01
Comments:I find NXT comparable to Tecnifibre NRG2. Anyway, one
of my customers has an elbow problem and he swears by it.

DUBLIN, April 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/btp9ds/global_multiple) has announced the addition of the "Global Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Therapeutics Market Report" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The analysts forecast the Global Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Therapeutics market to grow at a CAGR of 3.16 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the rising diagnosis and treatment rates. The Global MS Therapeutics market has also been witnessing the emergence of biomarkers. However, the lack of therapies available to manage the progression of the disease could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The report, the Global Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Therapeutics Market Report, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market in the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global MS Therapeutics market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
Currently, there is an increase in the adoption of biomarkers that are 100 percent specific to RRMS conditions. The use of biomarkers proves to be a sensitive indicator of the slightest disease activity in MS patients. A highly specific protein biomarker for MS aids in quick and precise identification of patients with the disease, possibly before clinically relevant symptoms arise. Thus, the use of biomarkers helps prevent the significant neurodegeneration associated with the disease.
Recently, the Global MS market has witnessed various collaborations for MS biomarkers. Regulus Therapeutics and Biogen Idec entered into a collaboration to identify blood-based microRNAs as biomarkers for MS. It is believed by both partners that microRNA biomarkers aid in the selection of ideal patient segments in clinical trials and also in monitoring disease progression or relapse.
According to the report, one of the main drivers is the increase in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis. This is because of the usage of the latest revised McDonald diagnostic criteria in the treatment of MS. The McDonald diagnostic criteria consist of a combination of clinical, imaging, and paraclinical tests used in the diagnosis of MS. This latest revision has helped in improving the detection of the symptoms of the disease. A McDonald diagnostic criterion helps improve the sensitivity from around 46 percent to 74 percent. This indirectly aids in diagnosing MS more rapidly than in the early days.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the lack of therapies for the management of the progressive form of the disease. The patients under this category take only symptomatic treatment to improve their quality of life.

Skip to comments.THE TRUMAN SHOW (Dick Morris's Advice for McCain)
Posted on 10/26/2008 1:14:54 PM PDT by DrHannibalLecter
What does McCain have to do to pull off a similar shift this time?
1. Use the stock market crash to highlight the tax issue. With the Dow Jones dropping each day by hundreds of points, this election is being held against a backdrop of economic fear unlike any since the Depression. Almost every reputable economist agrees that it would be catastrophic to add to the economy's woes by raising the capital gains tax. But Obama is on record as favoring an increase from 15% to 20% and suggested during the primaries that he would consider hitting 28%.
2. Bring back Rev. Jeremiah Wright. For reasons that are beyond me, John McCain has vowed not to make an issue out of Rev. Wright's extreme anti-American statements. But that should not stop independent expenditure and 527 groups from raising the issue.
3. Warn voters of impending socialism in America. The recent bailout legislation puts the United States government inside the ownership, management and direction of many of our major companies and financial institutions.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
All McCain has to do is show exerpts of this video saying he will abolish missle defense, cut military, and no space weapons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcqhoiK8-Ww
Who do you want at the helm during a crises? Someone who has many years in service for his country! or someone who voted present 96 times never ran anything except a campaign and has 3 years as a U.S. Senator of which he has been campaigning 2 of those years.
Missile defense should have been a debate question of course.
Nobody is talking about this important issue.
One of the many reason McCain will lose. Heck, McCain has even ruled out using the "H" word (Hussein).
Not to worry, though. AFTER THE ELECTION--the MSM will once again laud McCain for his civil and genltemanly campaign--as President B. Hussein Obama takes the oath of office.
Americans are too stupid to even remotely understand the issue of capital gains taxes on the economy. This one would just be pounded right back up McCain's butt as "tax breaks for the rich", and the "MSM" would lead the charge.
Warn voters of impending socialism in America.
Americans are too stupid to understand the difference between capitalism and socialism, and half the Republican Party is socialists anyway (witness "compassionate conservatism", "New Tone", Medicare drug plan that was passed with the assistance of Republicans, and all the outrageous spending that was done over the six years that Bush was President).
All McCain has to do to win is do the exact opposite of anything Dick Morris recommends.
Hannity pounded the Wright issue into the ground during the primary thereby immunizing B.O. from the issue .
Bringing it back at this point in the game would reek of desperation and would not help .
Wouldn't that be something if all the news stations went with Obama like they did with Dewey, and that McCain won just as Truman did!
What a headliner!
At this point, I agree with you. McCain should have been pounding it a few months ago—BEFORE Hussein became an acceptable candidate to many middle-of-the-roaders. At this point, even if he wanted to bring it up (which he won't) it's a meaningless proposition.
He should run such an ad in every state that has a lot of missile defense jobs... like California.
Did you read the article?
Comparing ? That's not Morris ...
You really think any presidential candidate can be immunized from a 20 year relationship with a racist, America hating loon who freaks out on video on a regular basis?
It would be easier to immunize oneself from a tie to John Wayne Gacy than from 20 years of palling around with Jeremiah Wright.
The thing is...I think that we might have an early election night. If VA and PA go to McCain, the election is over.
That's not Dick Morris, that's Gordon Brown.
Looks like Reuters had the wrong picture.
They have since removed it.
The incredible adventures of the young Barak in Kenya, in which he campaigned all over that country, right along side Cousin Raile Odinga, for the presidency of Kenya, gave him $1million, ... only to have Odinga lose, then start a wave of ethnic cleansing against the Kikuyu in areas which voted against him,
And this bothers no one on the RNC, or isn't worthy of mention by John (Call me Dole) McCain? How can a guy who wasn't afraid of NVA AAA, is afraid of an AAA --Affirmative Action Clymer-- like the preposterous Obama?
Odinga? PASS. John, WTF? Over.
VWRC Rumors? No. On film and reported by the BBC. On youtube. On anybody's mind in the USA? Doubt it.
I would absolutely love to see the faces at MSNBC (Olberman, Matthews, Mitchell) and the other Networks having to declare a McCain/Palin victory...
Does anyone have that pic of Tom Daschle looking so demoralized after the 2002 mid-term elections???
So is McCain. Did you see him this morning promoting his mortgage bailout plan? He wants the government to bailout irresponsible home owners using the tax dollars of home owners who pay their mortgage on time. No matter how you spin it, that's socialism.
Raila Odinga and Dick Morris
Yes, coupling this with Biden's remarks about an imminent testing of Obama's mettle in the first six months of his presidency. Weak military all but guarantees a test. And also all but guarantees lost American lives on American soil...but hey, we'll get the troops home.
I think you're right.
Better to emphasize that Obama wants to raise the overall tax burden, and that it won't help the offshoring and jobs-drain problem if The One jacks up payroll taxes as promised.
Against a backdrop of accelerating layoff announcements, that one ought to get people's attention and start focusing them on the practical consequences of Europeanizing employment costs at the worst possible moment.
I'm sorry, and I don't want to sound discouraging, but the moment for that initiative passed about six months ago. That is an education campaign, the kind of thing the 527's should have been doing retroactively to last spring, if they had any money (and GOP money has been largely absent this cycle, already sent ahead to tax-haven banks before the Wrath of the Dems arrives).
I would agree, to a point. It's time to push for the independent, undecided voter. And I disagree with Morris' point about Jeremiah Wright. Or anything else that takes more than 30 seconds to explain.
See my incredibly well-reasoned post #27 in this thread about what to do in this final week: (LOL)
Like DaveTesla? Think before you post.
Don't like it?
I'd certainly like to see some discussion of the Democrat plan to abolish tax breaks for 401K contributions.
Given the 24 hour news cycle and how easily the majority of Americans get bored , yes I do .
Any attempt to bring up Wright at this point will look like desperation which would convey that McCain knew he was losing .
Had Hannity not run this issue into the ground during the primaries , it would have been the perfect October surprise . Thank Hannity for this .
Yeah, he really deserves to be given a lot of crap for trying to warn Americans that a bizarre racist creep was headed for the White House. How dare he!
It should have been saved for two weeks ago , but no , he did Hillary's bidding for Murdoch and now the issue is gone .
If Hannity was not doing Murdoch's bidding on behalf of Hillary , than Hannity did not think strategically for the future with such a potent issue .
Do you really think at this point that the Wright issue could be used ? Please ....
Shouldn't`t this 527 group be given more light here, they are raising money to air Rev Wright spots in swing states. I have already donated, supposedly they have reached the 1 million dollar mark.
Do you think the Wright issue should be used this week ? Do you think it will be effective if used and why ?

The National Football League (NFL) hosts the championship game between the two best football teams in the nation at a game called the super Bowl. Fans start rivalries, teams practice for weeks perfecting their plays, companies make the best commercials they can, and one outstanding band rehearses to perform during half time. The Super Bowl half time show gets almost as much hype as the game itself. Before the game gained a lot of viewership and popularity, the halftime show consisted of marching bands like you would see at high school or college games. Once they saw the potential for exposure, they introduced famous bands or singers to perform.
This year, The Who, was the headline performer at the Super Bowl and performed in the half time show. Queen Latifah sang our national anthem, and Carrie Underwood performed the Star Spangled Banner. The Who performed as a solo act and didn't use other bands, musicians, or dancers during the show. They had an incredible stage set up in the center of the field with a lot of lights that made a lightshow during their songs. They performed four of their most popular songs which were Who Are You, Pinball Wizard, Won't Get Fooled Again, and Baba O'Riley. As their performance was broadcasted on television, you could hear the crowd in the stadium singing along and really enjoying the show.
The Who consists of current members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. Pete played awesome guitar during the show. Former members Keith Moon, John Entwistle, and Kenney Jones no longer tour with the band. They have touring members that played with Pete and Roger at the half time show, and the touring members are John Bundrick, Pino Palladino, Zak Starkey, and Simon Townshend.
The band has been performing since 1965 and has released numerous hit albums. They are an English band that plays rock, art rock, pop rock, and hard rock music. They are best known for their live performances and instrument destruction while on stage. We didn't see any of the destruction during the half time show, so perhaps they have calmed their performances down. A lot of heavy metal rock bands imitated their style of performance using instrument destruction. The Who have released 17 albums during their career and are still performing.
Their unique sound and live performances have won them both national and universal recognition. They have been inducted into the American Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame. They have also won Grammy awards and lifetime achievement awards.

Skip to comments.Legislator Makes Lewd Remark to 17 Year-old Girl at Hearing; Conn. Post Fails to Tag Him as a Dem
Posted on 03/02/2013 6:51:33 PM PST by chessplayer
Did you ever mean to say "If you are shy then I have an acre of land in the Everglades." and have it come out "If you're bashful I got a snake sitting under my desk here"? I mean, those sentences are so close to being identical, and these kinds of misstatements happen all the time, right?
Well, that's what you have to believe if you're still a defender of Connecticut legislator Ernest Hewett, who said the latter on February 20 to a 17 year-old girl at a public hearing and is now saying he meant to say the former.
But someone is still defending Hewett, namely Edward Moukawsher, a state representative for Groton and Ledyard, also not identified as a Democrat by the New London Day, which published his letter to the editor:
Moukawsher defends Hewett's comment
The treatment of Rep. Ernest Hewett for his remark to a 17-year-old woman who testified before the Appropriations Committee is completely unfair to him and defies common sense. In her testimony she said she was a shy person who overcame her shyness and fear of snakes. The chair of the committee complimented her on her testimony that belied her expressed shyness. Rep. Hewett followed the chair's remarks, and said "If you're bashful, I got a snake sitting under my desk here." It is absurd to think he was saying anything other than that she had overcome her shyness so well that her bashfulness was as nonexistent as a live snake under his desk.
Rep. Hewett turned on his microphone to speak on the record in a public meeting. This was not an offhand, surreptitious comment but a compliment to a witness following a compliment by the committee chair.
Meanwhile, Hewett can't seem to keep his story straight, telling the Day on Friday that "If she had said elephants, I would have said elephants." As noted earlier, he said he originally meant to say "acre of land" instead of "snake."
This is not a national story at the Associated Press, and has barely garnered any attenting in the establishment press.
I must be very tired because I can't figure out what this is talking about.
I think those girls are a bit older than what he prefers.
What a ridiculous and tortuous explanation by the Post.
Err....If i said you had a Hot Body would you Hold it Against Me?
At least he didn't say "trouser"
Just your average pervert Rat.
A 17 Year Old Woman?
A 17 Year Old Female is a Girl, not a Woman. An 18 Year Old Female is a Woman.
OK, I guess I'm just an old fashioned Geezer.
Good for you. Don't try to. Trust me. My BP is up by 10 points and I just got out of a hot bath.
Go for the guy is a fat arsehole, and move on.
Some daddy will fix that little problem.
Nope, the Girls are the wrong shade. Menendez prefers nice dark Dominican Teenagers.
He said he had a snake (his junk) in his pants under his desk, and then tried to say he meant he had an acre of land in the Everglades. Easy mistake to make, right?
I can't tell from the article quite what's going on. If the girls were there testifying about their need for taxpayer-funded contraceptives, then the representative is entirely in line talking about his trouser snake.
I will bet that if the dirtbag had his legislative laptop gone over with a forensic digital sweep, they'd find plenty of teenie-porn accessed very recently.
I will bet that if the dirtbag had his legislative laptop gone over with a forensic digital sweep, they'd find plenty of teenie-porn accessed very recently.
No you are 100% correct, your age has noting to do with it.
When it's a Republican's being a jerk it's in the headline or the first paragraph.
Style-books are for more than punctuation...they're for consistency and integrity. One more reason the press has lost credibility.
Yes, but their integrity is rock solid.
Without exception, they can always be relied upon to provide cover and positive spin for leftists, and to always crap on Republicans.
You can take it to the bank.
I am a little easier on hi than some here , I think the guy is stupid and thought he was making a joke.
I don't lay any ulterior motives to him. Just plain stupid.
2: Ernest Hewett is Africanamerican
See? It can happen.
The piece above is excerpted, but it's not designated where it was excerpted, so it comes across as a jumble. Click on the link to read the whole story on NewsBusters. It's a good bit clearer there.
In the summer of 2005, the plant replaced the sanitation dept with an outside contracting company. Mel being Mel, allegedly said something to a female employee of that company and she filed a sexual harassment complaint with the HR dept. Mel was immediately suspended/terminated and placed on retirement.......Mel was about 60 years old and had approx. 35 years of service with the company.
It should be noted that my company had a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual harassment and Ernest Hewett would have gotten fired if he had said what he said while working for us.......
That's what I thought the first time I read it, but then I thought I was wrong. It was confusing. I'll go read the whole article as someone else suggested. Perhaps that's why I got so confused.

Beautiful sandal
"The sandals are typical Zanotti, very classy, sleek, and just overall just a beauty to look at. I would have given them 5 stars, but took a star off because they run a little short. I'm usually 7.5, but I ordered the 8 and it's still a little closer than I would like. I would recommend going at least a half size up when ordering."

New Technique – Immediately after spraying, the color may be further spread into the roots by wearing a plastic glove and rubbing your finer tips back and forth in the part to blend the color more evenly onto the roots.
For Bald Spots:
Shampoo and dry. Comb hair away from balding areas. Hold and spray nozzle 4-6 inches away from scalp and spray bald and thin hair area with a light rotating motion. Comb hair over sprayed area. Let dry.
Clean Up:
Spritz 'n Color will NOT come off in plain water or perspiration. However, the unique formula allows it to wash out completely with shampoo. For best results, shampoo each day and re-spray. Remove over spray with shampoo

WWII vets storming the memorial?
Result of inflammatory shutdown rhetoric? We shall see.
Has the Tea Party or rogue Republicans been blamed yet?
Poor Harry, I knew last night in the press conference he was looking pretty bad.
Funny how something always happens when the rats are losing a political argument.
damn those Palin bullseyes!
na...he's safe on the GOLF COURSE.....
Reichstag fired? Obama trying to set up a Yeltsin scenario? Or just your average Paxil patient fulfilling the law of averages?
Shower time!
We'll know if they arrest a TEA Party member.
"Osama Obama and his co-conspirators will have a field day with this. "
Be careful,,THEY may be part of the whole situation.
Never trust Obama Inc
And......the WHITE HOUSE LOCKS DOWN....after all, it's all about ME, ME, ME....mmmm, mmmmm, mmm....
Just workplace violence here- move along, folks!
lol... If there was even a hint that this was the start of a coordinated effort to take evict the tyrants from power... I would leave work this very moment and start driving to DC to join the battle...
However... Its probably just anther democrat suicide bomber sent on a mission to change the subject.... Or give the progressives in the GOP a "reason" to whimp the F out....
This is why they want to eliminate the 2nd amendment. The political class knows they are inflaming people, and destroying lives.
The political class fears the public that they are tormenting.
CNN has a reporter in Harry Reid's office (I know, surprise). She said Reid told her 1 injury.
Reid will blame it on:
a) sequestration
b) shutdown
c) tea party anarchists
d) all of the above
Sarah Palin on the loose?
Looks like some 40oz drinker out of a paper bag logged on and found out how much their free healthcare will cost them.
The RATs provoked it, by their explosive rhetoric - mark my words
Which building is this?
Never mind - looks like the Capitol bldg.
Mark Dayton went into hiding again.Force of habit.
The U.S. Capitol is in lockdown, amid reports of shots being fired.
In LOCKDOWN?? OMG - this is terrible. How will anything get done?
oh noes - oh noes.
When the h*ll are they going to pass gun control measures in Washington DC?
There must be some way to pin this on George Zimmerman.
A Kos Kook or a DUmmy perp?
They need to ban cars - everybody rides a bike ...
Here is a comment left by a leftard on Congressman Benisheks facebook page..
Wendy McDaniels "Hey Herr Gehling: Maybe Benishek will see the light when he wakes up with a donkey head in his bed."
I don't believe it at all - guns are illegal in DC.
Funny how I don't care about Obama or if he is safe./s
You forgot kids with cancer.
CNN has a reporter in Harry Reids office (I know, surprise). She said Reid told her 1 injury.
As if Reid could give a damn. If he could care less about some child dying of cancer before he compromises and signs a piecemeal bill - he sure won't care if someone gets shot at the Capitol.
If hes a Kos Kook, he'll be an 'aggrieved victim of the evil Republicans', if he's 'Tim McVeigh' wannabe, he'll be the product of 'evil Republicans' - we won't win this ...
Has Obama been briefed??? Has Obama been briefed???
That's how the media signals we're all safe!
The President hooked into the rough on 15 but is fine otherwise.
YOUTUBE to be SHUTDOWN over Infammatory VIDEO......
"car chase video drives LIV...Mad"...
I would guess it's one of three things...
Another crazed Democrat "bringing a gun" as Obama has suggested...
Some "taker" that blew a gasket thinking his freebies were going to stop...
Someone accessed the clown's social security records again and took a bullet to the head like the last guy.
See my post 28. Republican Rep. Duffy from Wisconsin, an outspoken opponent to Obamacare, was grabbed and yelled at. He is unharmed.
Who do you suppose would be upset with him? : )
Capitol Hill Shooting: Reports of Shots fired at Dirksen Building

DENVER – Telluride is famous for a lot – film, skiing, bluegrass – but it's never been known as a military town.
In fact, residents know of only one veteran from San Miguel County who died in the Vietnam War – Pfc. Paul Haining of Placerville.
On Friday, the state House of Representatives voted to name the Colorado Highway 145 bridge over Leopard Creek in his honor.
Haining was 20 when he enlisted in the Army in 1970. He died the same year in a land-mine explosion in Phuoc Long Province.
Rep. Don Coram, R-Montrose, sponsored the resolution that renames the bridge. He called the recognition of Haining "long overdue."
"It's amazing that we have citizens who will give their lives for our freedom," Coram said.
Brian Ahern, commander of the American Legion post in Telluride, brought the idea to Coram.
Ahern said San Miguel County has just one other known combat casualty – Austin Hiett, who died in World War I. Telluride's American Legion post is named in his honor.
"It's significant for us, because it's a small town, and to have a couple of heroes who have given their lives, we want to commemorate that," said Ahern, who ran as a Democrat for Coram's House district in 2006.
The bridge will be dedicated in May, and Ahern said he is hoping Gov. John Hickenlooper can attend the ceremony.

Comments: The GT 1000 feels NOTHING like the 1170's to me. Absolute shame - the 1100's - in particular the 1170's - were my favorite shoes.
From: Toby, Ubly, MI, USA
Comments: The fit is almost identical to the prior Ascis 1170 shoe. However, it has a much cheaper type insert and a very small forefoot Gel Pad. However, by adding a more cushioned shoe insert from another shoe it works very well. Nice bright Neon yellow and with fewer upper overlays it is flexible and responsive. Outsole seems durable and I am impressed after running a 5K in them right out of the Box.. Do expect a quite firm feel to the forefoot.

So now what?
Cam Davie
July 03 2009 10:07AM
So what do the Canucks do now?
Do they sign a couple of free agents? Are they going to offer up a big trade? Do they re-sign Mats Sundin? Are they counting on Cody Hodgson making the team? What do they at backup goalie?
Does Mike Gillis have some master plan for filling out the rest of this team?
As far as free agency is concerned, there are definitely some defensemen that I would target, if I was Gillis.
Marc-Andre Bergeron, Martin Skoula, Dennis Seidenberg and Christian Backman would all fill specific needs for the Canucks. They're all solid puck-moving defensemen and available at a very reasonable price (with the possible exception of Backman).
As for trades, there is a LOT of buzz that the Canucks and Leafs are on the verge of making a trade, which would send Kaberle out west. Reports differ on what the Canucks would send to Hogtown, but most rumours involve Cory Schneider. I offer Schneider and Raymond for Kaberle. This trade serves the need of both teams, but only if the rumours of the Luongo contract extension are true.
As for Sundin, I think he still serves a specific need for the Canucks, especially on the powerplay. However, recent contracts to aging veterans have to send a signal to Sundin that he is not going to command the money he got last year. Mark Recchi signed for 1 year at $1 million and arguably had a better season than Sundin. Mats has to understand that his value has dropped dramatically. If Gillis can sign Sundin for $2.5 million or less, I would take him. Otherwise, there are other free agents available for that price that can offer as much input as Sundin.
Yes, Cody Hodgson will play for the Canucks next season. Done.
Finally, at backup goalie, this is largely dependent on the trade rumours. If Schneider is going to be traded, then the Canucks will have to go out and scoop up a free agent backup. Marc Denis would be the main target on this, if it was up to me. If he isn't traded, then Cory Schneider will be the Canucks backup goalie next season. I have no doubt about that.
The next move that Mike Gillis makes will either renew my faith in him, or crush it entirely.
Your move, Mike.
Go Canucks!
- Cam Davie
As soon as I published this story, Canucks announced the signing of Mikael Samuelsson. Ok - my faith is being restored. This is a really solid signing for the Canucks.
July 03 2009, 10:22AM
You think you are having problems Cam??
*bursts into tears and buries face in Oilers Flag circa 2006*
I really hope that Vancouver doesnt even consider signing Sundin. The guy can't skate anymore.

When something bad happens, you have three choices: let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it strengthen you.

I am weird, and my disease is alien:)
So, I am cleared to get back to normal diet, but I kind of like the fact that I lost 4 lbs this week and plan to stick with it for a bit longer – I did the same before SD100 last year, I'll survive. Angie, you are my hero, that's some will power to eat rice and broccoli for a month! I am just cutting out fried food and meat.
With all that I am going for my own Black Saturday tomorrow morning, all alone, a tasty imported meal for cougars and bears. Have fun on a long weekend!
13 comments:
Wow! I'm glad they figured it out and that the pain should pass. So if you eat small, frequent meals maybe it won't be so bad? Did the cough and the gall stone cause the rupture?
On another note, I really enjoyed our conversation today in Craig's comments. I love talking philosophies and grand thoughts. It made my day!
Go easy on the cougars and bears tomorrow and have a great run!
Glad they figured out what was wrong. And who knew a CT could give you an ego boost, too ? ;)ReplyDelete
You know the cougars and bears don't dare mess with you. Have fun on Black Saturday. I need to come up with some theme for my Saturday training sessions.ReplyDelete
I'm glad the cause of pain has been traced.ReplyDelete
I bet if they did a chest X-ray they'd find a heart twice the size of a normal human being.
Glad you have a diagnosis, sounds like an alien to me too. Being compared to Lance is pretty cool. Have a good black Saturday - stay away from those bears.ReplyDelete
I will just try to imagine that at this very moment you are there in you saturday training...ReplyDelete
Now you have another reason to be studied, it is confirm, you are such a phenomenon, an incredible woman!!
Hope the pain don't come back as bad as in other days.
Hmm!! Well, at least there is a diagnosis. I hope you don't have a repeat of this episode.ReplyDelete
Wow....a rare diagnosis and you find out you're in the same league as Lance. Hope your Black Saturday went well!ReplyDelete
Hope training went well despite the pains. Broccoli and Rice...hmmm so healthy...int that case I won't tell you what I had after my training run today. I feel so unhealthy now:)ReplyDelete
I hope this clears up by WS.
oh my god, Olga! that sounds scary, but I'm so glad they figured it out!!!!!! so you are just supposed to live with the pain? and then be watched by the dr?ReplyDelete
cool that your vessels are big like lance's - that's neat.
and yay, normal diet! see, 4 lbs - that's how I lost 70 lbs, diet is the "miracle pill" everyone wishes for :)
Wow. After reading your blog, it would seem my ironman training is mere "child's play." SHEESH. And to run through the suspected pain of a gall bladder attack (I had mine removed in 2002, also being, at the time, FFF (female, fat, forty-plus))? That kind of pain can get so intense, one can pass out. I know I almost did and I was sitting in a bleacher watching my hubby play softball.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your next big race. I hope the lack of a report after your last training run doesn't mean you became a meal for some cougar or bear!
So... what you are saying is... If it weren't for Lance Armstrong, you'd just be a freak of nature?ReplyDelete
Well, glad they got you diagnosed, anyway...
Stay safe -- and healthy!
Olgs..glad that the diagnosis was benign...pretty unusual that they have not seen this in an other endurance athletes, but good nonetheless...ReplyDelete
Good luck on black Sat. and happy trails!

The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo's 4-H competitions can be seen as an exercise in contrasts.
Take, for example, the dedication, patience and wealth of knowledge on display as the 4-H participants proudly show off their animals inside the ring at the pavilion. Then compare that with the sometimes dimwitted and less-than-cooperative livestock that are paraded around the ring.
Jesse Lautenbach, 13, of Sedalia, is quick to admit that the intelligence level of her lambs is questionable at best. On Thursday, she showed "Dumb," a black ewe that placed 4th in the class 5 market lamb show. Dumb's companion is, of course, "Dumber."
Lambs are known to bleat throughout the competition and fight the constant stance corrections and "bracing" by their owners. Showing the lambs requires a calm demeanor and patience, as the animals do not respond to vocal commands.
"You have to love it," said Lautenbach, who shows rabbits, dogs, poultry and lambs with 4-H. She says the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo is her "highlight of the year;" she has been showing animals for six years.
Similarly, Ian McKee, 12, of Franktown, looks forward to the event each year. He showed his gold-laced Wyandotte chicken, Alaska, in the 4-H poultry competition. After the show, he spoke about ways to calm chickens so they cooperate when the judges are carefully eyeing them.
"You stroke their back and their waddle," he said, as his sister, Heather, 10, showed her entry in the barn.
Their mother, Stephanie McKee, whispered a few last-second words of advice in Heather's ear before she entered the ring. She reminded her daughter to enunciate, especially because her chicken's breed is the hard-to-pronounce speckled Sussex, and reminded her about poise because "it's all about presentation."
The 4-H competitions are serious business. Taking the time to prepare is key to having a good show and walking away with a top-three ribbon. Stephanie McKee calls this a "crazy busy" time of year for her and what she calls a "big chicken club," a group of 4-H mothers who have become good friends over the years.
Not everyone is there as a 4-H competitor. Blane Allen, 5, of Larkspur, sported his finest cowboy gear as he cheered on his brother. Blane is waiting his turn for the spotlight. He is a participant in the mutton busting competition during the rodeo. When his father, Scot, is asked what advice he gives his son before he enters the ring, he says. "Just hang on."
The parting of ways is an inevitable part of 4-H. The kids sell off their animals after the shows, and sometimes the good-byes can be difficult. Lautenbach remembers bawling after selling her first lamb, but she now prepares herself for the separation.
Ian McKee said he is usually glad to get rid of his meat pen poultry entrants at the end because they tend to be "mean" and "stupid."
4-H is all about having fun and gaining experience. The kids learn a sense of responsibility throughout the preparatory period, Stephanie McKee said, and pride when they give their best in the show ring.
Lautenbach actually enjoys the chance to be scrutinized by a 4-H judge. Emily Horvath, the judge in the market lamb contests, measured up every detail, including chest depth, length and muscle tone. She offered a critique of each lamb, but consistently ended by highlighting the positive attributes of each lamb.
