Skip to comments.It's now certain: Ellmers won
Posted on 11/20/2010 5:49:58 AM PST by NCDragon
WASHINGTON -- After a weeklong recount, Friday's vote tally showed that Republican Renee Ellmers did, indeed, win election to the 2nd Congressional District seat that had been held for 14 years by Democrat Bob Etheridge.
Etheridge acknowledged Friday afternoon what the numbers had said since Nov. 2, that he was ousted by Ellmers, a tea party darling and political newcomer.
Despite the ongoing recount, Ellmers has been acting the role of congresswoman-elect. She was on Capitol Hill all week with other House freshmen, attending orientations, hiring staff and searching for a place to bunk in Washington.
The Who-Man from Who-terville must think he's swimming in a river in Egypt!
"massive amounts of secret corporate cash..."
What bullcrap!
Lepanto PING !
So glad to see Etheridge go. I only hope we can boot out Brad Miller in '12.
The fact Ethridge turned into a big spending Liberal is what killed his chances in Rural NC. Add the fact he's been walking around grabbing innocent bystanders on the street.. you almost wonder why he thought he had a chance at all!
Another elitist totalitarian POS bites the dust.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
Wasn't this the guy who verbally assaulted at reporter?
Woo-hoo! After 56 years I am finally represented by a Republican! You go, Renee!
Actually I think he physically assaulted a college kid who asked him a question that he didn't like on the street on Capitol Hill.
Uh...not exactly.
The Republican Party Establishment, as evidenced by Delaware, would much prefer a Democrat to win than a Tea Party backed Republican.
In addition, they will gladly resort to fraud and outright theft as evidenced by the happenings in Alaska, to keep a Tea Party backed candidate from winning.
The evidence and facts are clear, the Tea Party, not the Democrat Party is who the Republican Party opposes. To the Republican Party Establishment, a Tea Party backed candidate is as popular as a crack whore at one of their Country Club socials.
If the Conservative movement is to survive, they are going to have to ignore the nay sayers, who say "We need numbers, not principles". Get the principles and the numbers will follow. And form their own Party.
This will mean that there will be three political parties, correct? No. This will cause the Republican Party Establishment to merge with the Democrat Party where their hearts and sympathies already are and we will be back to a two party system again.America lovers and American haters.
BTW, touching someone is legally ASSAULT. How did he escape prosecution?
"The balance of power among the state delegation now stands at seven Democrats, six Republicans."
This is North Carolina, the balance should be more like 10 Reps and 3 Dems. There are still a LOT more seats available to us.
And congratulations to the fine people of the district who have battled back against the infringement of their freedom.
Congratulations to the voters who came out to throw off the chains of their ruler.
Let freedom ring!
His favorite song-It's 5:00 o'clock somewhere.
Lepanto PING !
A lot of us were asking that then. John Edwards was right, just not in the way he intended. There ARE two Americas. One for the Ruling Class like this guy, and another for those of us who have to pay for it all.
A Casualty of Lepanto! Sunk with all hands.
Easy answer: "Gerrymandering".
North Carolina is a Democrat state, both houses being Democrat. However, both houses flipped this year to GOP for the first time since Reconstruction. They get to draw the districts this time around.
I suspect we'll see a few more Republicans from North Carolina in 2012 when they get the current "solid Democrat" lines straightened out.
The GOP will make sure that Heath Schuler and surviving Blue Dog Dems are pushed into unfriendly territory. Kiss em good bye in 2012..
GoGo Tea Party
Out with incumbents
Whether they be Pubbie or Rats
Get the established political rulers OUT OUT OUT
Just pulled up her website. She looks like the real deal. And a cute RN to boot! Life is good.
Hey, DIMs. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Ellmers? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
January in DC will be unusually HOT thanks to the incoming freshman "class".
Sometimes obscure repartee can be just opaque...
What is it you were attempting to convey?
So with Ellmers, what is the total GOP pick-up now?
It's about Ellmer's opponent Bob Ethridge's encounter with a college kid who was video recording the Congressman walking down the street.
The Congressman was not amused, and basically assaulted the kid, repeatedly asking "Who are You?"

Adrienne Carmack, MD, explores the research behind why pharmaceuticals may not be as safe for everyone as we believe on The Attached Family online magazine at http://theattachedfamily.com/membersonly/?p=2508. Login information is available in the Members-only section of the Forum.
In April 2005, Rani Jamieson gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Tariq. She was given Tylenol #3, a medication containing acetaminophen and codeine, for postpartum pain. She took two pills twice a day, less than the prescribed amount, and cut this dose in half two days later after experiencing fatigue and constipation. She was told it was safe to take this medication while breastfeeding, and did so. On his 13th day of life, Tariq died.

Not for bunions, but otherwise cute
"Cute, leather seems fairly soft, runs true to size. It's a little slippery on hardwood floors. Unfortunately, the front is too narrow to accommodate my bunions, so I will be returning these. For someone with more normal feet, it would probably be good."

"Very comfy!! I ordered a half size larger than what I normally wear, as others recommended, and the fit is a smidge loose, but not so much that they can't be worn. I can see that my normal size would probably have been a little too tight. Love them and have worn them every day this week since I got them."

Great shoes, but too big on me
"I will be exchanging these at the store for a smaller pair. I have thin feet with narrow heels and generally wear a 7.5/38. However, for these shoes I will be wearing a 7. They are great, but in the 7.5 I have too much toe room and it makes the shoes uncomfortable and difficult to run in/defeats the purpose of getting tennis shoes. I live in NYC, so having great lasting shoes is a must and these do fit the bill."

|In response to Re: Want to move cleanout
Since the average cable is 75' long and most plumbers hate to get out the second or third cables for extra long drains, they would have to use most of the first cable just to get to the basement wall. If I were cleaning it, I would curse the person who installed the cleanout at either A or B. In addition, the further the cleanout is from the stoppage, and you are adding 60 feet, the harder it is to unplug the sewer.
: I want to move the cleanout in basement to a new location. It will be much more accessible and I will not need to install an access door in the wall. I've got a bitmap below. Do you think either A of B would work? Thanks for the insight

The Ospreys ran four unanswered tries Connacht on Saturday to cruise to a 26-9 Pro12 victory at Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
The Ospreys ran four unanswered tries Connacht on Saturday to cruise to a 26-9 Pro12 victory at Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
The Ospreys were made to fight for a bonus point but got one late on in a comfortable victory.
Two tries either side of half-time completely turned this hard-fought contest in the home side's favour after there was little to choose between the teams until just a few minutes before the break.
An early Eli Walker try, scored after a concerted period of pressure from the Welshmen, was cancelled out by two penalties from Dan Parks for the visitors as the half wore on.
But tries from back rowers Justin Tipuric right at the end of the first half and Jonathan Thomas, who sprinted clear after intercepting a pass from Parks, at the beginning of the second put the Ospreys in complete control.
The hosts were made to work hard and wait a while to get their fourth try and seal the bonus point though as the Connacht defence stemmed the flow and Parks chipped away at the deficit with another penalty.
But the Ospreys kept hammering away and got what they were looking for in the final ten minutes as Kahn Fotuali'i took a quick tap penalty and barged his way over from short range to seal the extra point and condemn the Irishmen to their fifth defeat of the season.
The scorers:
For Ospreys:
Tries: Walker, Tipuric, Thomas, Fotuali'i
Cons: Biggar 3
For Connacht:
Pens: Parks 3
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Hanno Dirksen, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Joe Bearman, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (capt), 3 Aaron Jarvis, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Ryan Bevington.

Skip to comments.Should Conservatives Give The New York Times a Break?
Posted on 08/06/2005 2:11:28 PM PDT by wagglebee
Thanks to a virtual blackout by his fellow editors elsewhere in the media, odds are good that you havent heard or read that Executive Editor Bill Keller of The New York Times recently capitulated in the debate over bias in Americas newspaper of record.
Kellers capitulation came in a lengthy memo he distributed in the Times newsroom in May as a response to an updating of a massive report by a committee appointed in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal to recommend measures to restore the gray ladys credibility.
In a section of the memo headed The News/Opinion Divide, Keller conceded that "even sophisticated readers of The New York Times sometimes find it hard to distinguish between news coverage and commentary in our pages." The Times will always carry both news and opinion, but, Keller argued, we should make the distinction as clear as possible.
Think about those statements for a moment. Here we have the top man in the newsroom at the nations most important daily the newspaper that more than any other sets the mainstream print and broadcast medias agenda essentially conceding what countless critics have argued for years. Thus we see a storied institution admitting its need to rededicate itself to achieving a standard previously claimed as the daily norm of performance.
Not only that, but Keller also conceded one of the major problems facing the Times in the aftermath of the Blair scandal is the cultural isolation that marks the papers newsroom. To counter that isolation, Keller encouraged his colleagues to undertake "a concerted effort to stretch beyond our predominantly urban, culturally liberal orientation, to cover the full range of our national conversation."
To drive the point home, Keller also noted that "our news coverage needs to embrace unorthodox views and contrarian opinions and to portray lives both more radical and more conservative than those most of us experience. We need to listen carefully to colleagues who are at home in realms that are not familiar to most of us."
Again, think about those words. Critics have charged for years that the Times newsroom is out of step with the majority of the country because the editorial staff represents but a small atypical slice of American demographics and opinion. That narrowness in turn has handicapped the dailys ability to identify, assess and credibly report much of the news deemed important by the rest of the nation. Now Keller says its time for the newsroom to get in touch with the rest of America.
A significant part of the effort to reach out to the rest of the nation concerns the Times ability to understand the one-third of Americans who identify themselves as religious conservatives (i.e. evangelicals and fundamentalists of all stripes, plus conservative Catholics and Orthodox Jews).
To that end, Keller encouraged the daily newsroom staff to listen to colleagues working on the Times magazine for lessons about portraying religious conservatives in an interesting and three-dimensional way. He also warned about the misuse of [the phrase] religious fundamentalists to describe religious conservatives.
Perhaps Keller would be willing to host an internal editorial seminar featuring Christian journalists like David Neff of Christianity Today, Christian philosophers like Nancy Pearcey and Christian bloggers like Joe Carter of Evangelical Outpost to explain the lay of the religious conservative land?
So how should long-suffering critics of the Times react to Kellers words and actions? Much of the commentary on the Right side of the Blogosphere has been rather predictably negative, snarky or sarcastic, or some combination thereof. I believe that approach is mistaken.
How about instead we offer Keller encouragement and praise for fessing up to serious problems of longstanding and for putting his own career and prestige on the line in making the effort to deal with those problems in a systematic and reasonable way?
It wouldnt hurt, either, for Times critics on the Right to show some patience because changing an entrenched culture like that of a newsroom isnt going to happen overnight, nor will it occur without some unexpectedly abbreviated careers and a surplus of discontent bred by an inability or refusal to change.
There will certainly be times when Keller and his newsroom allies will wonder if its really worth the effort. A good word from those who have been on the outside critically looking in may be the difference between throwing in the towel and fighting the good fight another day. I say give the man a break. And some encouragement.
That's because the every page of the paper is full of lies!
Critics have charged for years that the Times newsroom is out of step with the majority of the country because the editorial staff represents but a small atypical slice of American demographics and opinion.
I'll go a step further, the Old Gray Whore is actually on the side of America's enemies.
"Should Conservatives Give The New York Times a Break?"
No. Next question?
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Both legs and a shoulder should do nicely.
It certainly would change overnight if half of the current staff was fired and replaced with conservatives.
Hmmm... NO!!
I'm a conservative and I hope they do go broke.
How about absolutely NOT?
I find their newfound honesty in self-evaluation refreshing.
however, they shall have no "break" from me until they earn it.
talk is cheap.
Sure. I'll cut them some slack. Give Ben Stein, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter just half of the opinion page and we've got a deal. :o)
Personally I think all "big media" people should do an internship in small towns in flyover country. Their attitudes would change if the had to face the people they insult on a regular basis.
Sorry, I refuse to be patient with these jerks. I'd like to see every single one of them in the unemployment line.
As everybody knows, making speeches (or writing memos) about improvements is frequently considered as an equivalent substitute for the improvements themselves. Thus no credit should be given, or still more patience shown, until the actual improvements have been made. And these would have to include a wholesale importation of right-wingers, both as journalists and as editorial staff, for their existing lefties are not correctable, unless with a 2x4.
I pray for the day when this evil lying deceitful propaganda rag has a circulation has collapsed to zero.
As we would say in the old neighborhood, "You want the arm or the leg?"
On their Op-Ed page recently they've hired a neoconservative (David Brooks) and a libertarian conservative (John Tierney). But they still can't bring themselves to hire a social conservative. That is the most important wing of revitalized modern American conservatism, but it is the one that to NYT readers and writers sounds most like it comes from outer space. Reaching out will never be serious until they hire writers who, for example, are arguing passionately to Times readers that abortion on demand is wrong.
Absolutely not. Let the free market decide. The New York Post is increasing circulation, while the NY Times is in decline. They will either learn or continue to lose market share. That's the perfect way to let this play out. Same thing with the Washington Post and the Boston Globe.
For the damage they do to this country on a daily basis? Propagandists. NEVER!
"Guys, I've been thinkin' this over. Let's stop using the N-Word and let's come up with a brand new slur."
You got it in one. Property rights plus free speech produce liberal newspapers.
You are free to start your own, if you've got a couple billion sitting around.
The NYT is now running a national ad campaign to try and hock their paper, cause apparently, they want it to be "America's paper", they're even running ads here.
If they want it to be "America's paper" then they need to start hiring conservative journalists to their staff to balance out the liberal bias that it currently has
They don't call the Times the "Grey Lady" for nothing. It's been a liberal rag for decades, and it will continue to be until Hell freezes over.
Maybe Doug can come with a catchy rewrite of "You deserve a break today!"
Of course the Break the NY Slimes deserves is the constant breaking by conservatives when the Slimes does its bashing of our side via lies spun as news.
In the face of overwhelming evidence, it is hard not to wholeheartedly agree with this statement.
When the NYT starts telling the truth ~ maybe.
Actions speak louder than words!
Be Ever Vigilant!
The NYT disgusts me. They have put themselves where they find themselves today. No credibility, no respect, and no subscribers. And now they want understanding and tolerance from the public. We just aren't *sophisticated enough to distinguish between news coverage and commentary*. One man's sophistication is another man's tripe. I KNOW when I'm reading tripe. The New York Time's UP.
How about Keller acknowledging the FACT that the only reason he wrote this damn memo is because the NY Times readership has plummeted so drastically that he's trying to salvage what he can to hold onto as many subscribers as possible?
Nice try, but a two year old can figure out that the Jason Blair scandal didn't "do in" the NY Times. It's the daily onslaught of obnoxious biased reporting that has been going on for years. Not only have the snarky libs escalated their biased tones, they have gotten down right unbearable to read. Unless Keller fires most print reporters and replaces them with ones not educated in the most liberal universities, nothing will change.
Personally, I'm hope to watch the Gray Lady die a very slow death.
Unfortunately, there are millions who might subscribe to the NYT.
Personally, I prefer the free interchange of ideas and information on Free Republic with many people to the static, lonely indoctrination that takes place in a vacuum when people get their news from Television or Newspapers.
Mr. Kellar is not admiting he has a problem, other than one of presentation not substance. The only change he is looking for is one of appearance, the way Hillary wants to appear more "moderate".
HA. It's not like they depend on my nickel for support while they get their act together. I'll give them my support when they earn it, not before.
I don't think having patience will do it. Look at the fact they are investigation Roberts' adoptions of two children. What has that to do with politics? Nothing, except they want to smear the man personally and don't care who they hurt to do it or what laws they break doing it.
What drivel. Just look at the way the NYT's *reporters* (not the editorial section) has censored their pages of anything to do with the Air America scandal.
NYT fluff pieces promoting Air America: 28
NYT pieces reporting the Air America scandal: 0
I never look at that rag anymore. They're history.
Somebody give me Keller's email at the Grey Whore.
Like if the Dixie Chicks would apologize, I should buy their music? They are still the same chicks. No thanks.
Let the Times come clean on covering up the Holocaust.
Socialist small town newspaper editors have ways of getting around this too. They live in liberal safe havens several counties away. Even if the peasants become outraged enough, they can be assigned to another paper in the news group that generally owns them.
By the way, if the Times has changed, why haven't we seen a single article regarding the Boys and Girls Club loaning taxpayer's money to Air America?
soph·ist ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sof' ist)
1 a. One skilled in elaborate and devious argumentation
They don't need a break.
All they have to do is start reporting fairly and people will stop slamming them.
There will certainly be times when Keller and his newsroom allies will wonder if its really worth the effort. A good word from those who have been on the outside critically looking in may be the difference between throwing in the towel and fighting the good fight another day.
Nobody talks a better game about principle than journalists. Look at the Times' own Judith Miller. If their commitment to fairness is so tepid that they need our encouragement to do the right thing, then the question is already answered.

Ismael Ghalimi of Intalio discusses the need for process owners and for process models to drive execution.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Bo Parker
Ismael Ghalimi is the CEO and co-founder of Intalio. He is a entrepreneur and industry observer, creator of BPMI.org, initiator of the BPM 2.0 movement, producer of the Office 2.0 Conference, organizer of the Extreme Productivity Seminars, and founder of the Monolab|Workspace. Ghalimi is an advisor to several high-tech companies, including 3TERA, AdventNet (also known as Zoho), BuzzGain, EchoSign, Egnyte, EveryTrail, Intellimaker, Move & Play, Muchobene, and Presdo. Ghalimi holds an engineering degree from Ecole des Mines de Nancy.
In this interview, Ghalimi explains how most enterprises lack the role that would manage an end-to-end business process, thereby limiting the adoption of business process management systems.
PwC: Intalio has been in the business process management [BPM] market from its inception. How do you characterize the state of this market?
IG: BPM has not succeeded to the extent that it could. It's been limited by many factors. One factor is the lack of standardization. There are still too many players in the market. Gartner tracks about 100 BPM vendors. It's a very fragmented market, where most of the products use either proprietary notations or proprietary execution models for processes. The lack of standardization has significantly hindered or inhibited the adoption.
Another factor is that organizations have a challenge identifying who should be in charge of deploying and managing these business process management systems. No organization has someone with the title of a chief process officer. So you are left either selling this platform to the CIO, who is not empowered to reengineer the various processes of the company, or selling it to a line-of-business manager, but in that case you're going to be limited to department-level business processes.
Today, it's very difficult to identify who you sell a business process management system to in an enterprise context for end-to-end processes. The market is growing, but it is not exploding. At Intalio, we have decided to expand our footprint and move into the cloud-computing market, where we provide a private cloud platform to large organizations that want the benefits of cloud computing, including usage-based pricing, elastic scalability, and on-demand provisioning. But we provide that behind the firewall, in their data center, instead of using public clouds such as Amazon or Google, which wouldn't afford the level of security and privacy that these large organizations desire.

Where's Don?
The GHC community asked Dr. Green to provide his location as he travels to all of our campuses and around Northwest Georgia.
Dr. Donald Green
email@example.com | 706.295.6329
I want to welcome you to Georgia Highlands College, a fully accredited, regional institution that is part of the University System of Georgia, with campuses in five Northwest Georgia counties: Floyd, Bartow, Cobb, Paulding, and Douglas.
Its an exciting time for GHC as we continue to grow, expand our academic offerings, and strive to recruit and retain successful students. I am humbled and delighted to have been selected as the Georgia Highlands fourth president.
At Georgia Highlands College we provide opportunity by offering an education that is economical, convenient and high quality. We want to deliver an excellent experience to every student whether the associates degree is the current goal, they intend to transfer, or they plan to stay and complete a bachelors degree with us.

- Outreach into communities who have been historically underrepresented in higher education
- Continued attention to the elimination of unjustifiable expenses.
Thank you for taking the time to explore Georgia Highlands College. We are here to guide and support your educational journey, wherever it may lead.
Go Chargers!

Former England number eight Dean Ryan and Scotland hooker Stevie Scott have both joined the Scottish coaching team for the Six Nations.
Former England number eight Dean Ryan and Scotland hooker Stevie Scott have both joined the Scotland coaching team for the Six Nations.
The pair will work alongside intermin head coach Scott Johnson, defence coach Matt Taylor and specialist coaches Duncan Hodge and Massimo Cuttitta.
Scotland A will be led by head coach Shade Munro, forwards supremo at Glasgow Warriors and a previous forwards coach when the A team reached the final of the Churchill Cup in North America in 2006 and again in 2008.
Shade is joined by Scotland's most-capped forward, fellow internationalist and lineout exponent Scott Murray, who has been coaching the pack as well as playing for Mont de Marsan in France's Top 14. Duncan Hodge takes charge of the backs for the A team's sole match of the Six Nations window – against England Saxons at Kingston Park, Newcastle on Friday 1 February.
"Dean will be with us for 12 weeks and will bring all his top-flight coaching savvy and experience to benefit our forward pack," said Scottish Rugby CEO Mark Dodson.
"Dean and Stevie will start work on Monday. I believe in Dean and Stevie that we have a combination here of hard-nosed experience and deep-rooted understanding of Scottish rugby and its players, which Scott Johnson and his management team will be able to call upon."
Ryan said: "I've responded to an invitation from Scott to assist the Scotland management team over the next 12 weeks and will look to bring my experience to bear to give Scotland players the best opportunity to represent their country in the best way."

Anticompetitive Settlement of Intellectual Property Disputes
Herbert J. Hovenkamp
University of Iowa - College of Law
Mark D. Janis
Indiana University Maurer School of Law
Mark A. Lemley
Stanford Law School
Minnesota Law Review, Vol. 87, p. 1719, 2003
UC Berkeley, Public Law and Legal Theory Research Paper No. 113
The overwhelming majority of intellectual property lawsuits settle before trial. These settlements involve agreements between the patentee and the accused infringer, parties who are often competitors before the lawsuit. Because these competitors may agree to stop competing, to regulate the price each charges, and to exchange information about products and prices, settlements of intellectual property disputes naturally raise antitrust concerns. In this paper, we suggest a way to reconcile the interests of intellectual property law and antitrust law in evaluating intellectual property settlements. In Part I, we provide background on the issue. Part II argues that in most cases courts can determine the legality of a settlement agreement without inquiring into the merits of the intellectual property dispute being settled, either because the settlement would be legal even if the patent were invalid or not infringed, or because the settlement would be illegal even if the patent were valid and infringed. Only in a narrow class of cases will the merits of the intellectual property dispute matter. In Part III, we argue that in that narrow middle set of cases antitrust's rule of reason is unlikely to be helpful. Rather, courts must inquire into the validity, enforceability, and infringement issues in the underlying case, with particular sensitivity to both the type of intellectual property right at issue and the industrial context of the dispute. In Part IV, we apply our framework to a number of common settlement terms, most notably the use of exclusion payments to settle pharmaceutical patent disputes. We argue that exclusion payments that exceed litigation costs should be deemed illegal per se. There is no legitimate reason for such payments, and the most likely reason - to permit the patentee to exclude competition that would likely have occurred absent the payment - is anticompetitive. Further, legitimate patent disputes can be settled in other ways than with an exclusion payment - for example, by licensing the defendant or by agreeing to delay entry.

Everton: a closer look at the Toffees third kit by Aaron› 8 Aug 2014
Yesterday we revealed the new Everton 2014/15 third kit, completing a hat-trick of great new strips that the Blues will wear in what should be an exciting season. The kit will be worn for the first time in a friendly game against German second division side SC Paderborn 07, and will then be used throughout the season in the Premier League, cup competitions and in Everton's Europa League campaign.
The white shirt features blackberry panels under the arms, and has eight ventilation holes on the back to keep fans and players cool. Just like the Everton home and away shirts, two of the laser-cut holes are shaped like the Toffee tower, a nod to the unique culture of the club.
On the chest of the shirt, the club's new crest and the Umbro double diamond are embroidered in the blackberry colour above the sponsor's logo.
The collar on the third shirt is in a v-neck, wrap-over style, with a high stretch rib for comfort. In a blackberry colour with a yellow trim, the collar is also similar to the one that featured on the classic Everton shirt from the 1986/87 season.
The blackberry coloured shorts have mesh insert panel seams in yellow, which offer enhanced breathability.
On the back of the shorts, a shaped inseam creates a fitted, comfortable shape for the wearer.
Both the club crest and Umbro logo in white complete the shorts.
Completing the kit, the blackberry coloured socks are constructed for breathability, comfort and performance. Anatomical footbeds, Y heels and a double-welt cuff featuring a yellow trim help to keep shape and smartness.
All together, it adds up to a smart kit that we're sure will make Everton the best looking club this season - wherever they're playing.

I want more! I wonder what his limitation(s) is/are.
Though I can't remember the Garuna Island guy.
that was Ultear she was in a different form
also WOW, poor elfman got owned unless he fond a way to get out of it some how with a transformation. but i can think roses limits would probably be resurrection like i doubt he could bring back the dead with his powers.
and im glad elf man put up a nice fight there for a bit and glad him and ever green do kind of have a thing LOL. i can not wait till next chapter and i can not wait to see whats next.
Creationary magic thats not fair. He probably can only create one thing at a time. Or maybe if he did not destroy the glasses they could not be recreated, other then that it seems limited by his imagination
Ever + Elf forever
Pandaman FOR PRESDIENT
Why do I get the feeling that Ultear is a lovely little messed-up bundle of Freudian parent issues?
Anyway, chapter was much better than the previous two, and it did try to address why the muggles are important even if it continues to feed into the fluffy ''nakama, go!'' foundation of this series. And even if they got owned in the end, I did like the fight.
I wonder if Ever's stone eye magic would have worked if Elfman and Ever didn't announce their plan before trying it.
The *IMAGINATION* powered guy admitted his powers had limitations, so at least the means I can expect the slight possibility of him accidentally imaging his own head exploding as a possible method of beating him.
Does anyone know or remember if that tower he imagined dropping on them was based on anything or a throw back to anything?
and i do not think it was dropped on them but that it what brought up from under them seeing as him and ever green fly up ward when the tower shows up. but it could be based on something but i would have no idea what?
Elfman went out in a beastly flame of manly passion! Shame too, but it helps to further show how bad things are turning out. He and Evergreen make quite the formidable duo, and not to shabby of a couple either.
Mashima has been on point with subtle romance this arc. Elf and Ever were only recently put together, and have steadily gotten closer leading to their somber final words before being taken out with Rose's Tower. Gajeel played the bad boy hero to Levy's shy girl in distress, and Ultear is acting on her wildest dreams cuddling with a known mass murderer. That's some classy romance right there.
Rose's powers are going to be a pain to try and defeat. He's got some serious room to breathe with the power of 'Imagination.' For a villain I like him, and his arc of embodiment comes into direct comparison with Ultear's arc of time. Wouldn't be far-fetched to believe some of the other members of GH have arc magic as well.
Natsu has got to be nearing exhaustion at this point. I don't think he could take Ultear at anything below full power. Bummer that Mashima has prolonged my two most awaited fights but at least there's something to look forward to.
If Meldy can take out Erza along with Lluvia that will be impressive. Caprico and his stellar spirit situation is also something I wanna see. He's probably even stronger than Loki given the fact he's taking him along with Gray and the girls all at once.
Glad Natsu got his scarf back to normal. Natsu and Zeref vs Ultear is a possibility.

|In response to Re: Need more hot water for whirlpool. What are the options?
: I'm not a plumber or other expert, but we did install a whirlpool tub during our remodel last year. We had a similar problem, and considered some of the same options, including installing a separate water heater just for the master bath.
: We found, however, that running only the hot water at the beginning until we can turn the jets on, and letting the inline heater on the tub keep the temperature steady while the rest of the tub fills works pretty well. The tub heater measures the temperature of the water when you turn it on, and then keeps it at that temperature. Once the heater is going, it doesn't matter if the hot water runs out. Just make sure you have the tub at the temperature you want when you turn the jets on.
: The inline heater can be purchased separately for about $150 or so, plugs into a regular outlet, and installs in about 2 minutes on many tubs.
: Maybe one of the experts here can comment more on efficiency and how it would compare to other alternatives. It works for us, it might work for you too.
: Doug
: : We'll let the crew ring in on this one as you have a lot of ?s.
: : The electric tankless heater is very expensive to operate and consumes a lot of power from (on avg.) 240V 30 amps on up to 120+ amps depending on capacity such as dual tank multiple elements, etc. You could have anywhere from one double pole 30 amp on up to 2 Double Pole 60 amps (breakers) or more.
: : Other than the smallest (double pole 30), if you have other 240 volt appliances such as range, dryer, etc., you "might" be able to get away with one double pole 60 amps tops. If you have electric heat, forget it. [Assuming 200 amp residential service]
: : An electrician can advise you, but the cost to use is expensive. The benefit is that the water does not sit around and cool down. You are using current only when you use water.
: : P.S. What is your current WH temp set at?
: : Some homes can get by with 50 gallons for one whirlpool. Although that takes most (if not all) of it.
: : That's my turn, who's next?
: : : We are considering the following
: : : As far as the tankless options go, we would either connect directly to exising heater (either between the existing heater and the outside main, or between the tub and the existing heater), or operate as a separate dedicated water supply to the whirlpool.
: : : Thanks for any information.

Prokeimenon. Mode 2.
Psalm 117.14,18
The Lord is my strength and my song.
Verse: The Lord has chastened me sorely.
"IN THE BEGINNING, Thou, Lord, didst found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of thy hands; they will perish, but thou remainest; they will all grow old like a garment, like a mantle thou wilt roll them up, and they will be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years will never end." But to what angel has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet?" Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?
Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him.

By NED SCARLETCleveland
The architects of our nation had a great understanding of human nature. They knew no matter how small or large a problem seemed, disagreement would follow on the best course of action. They also understood that if one side felt unrepresented there would never be unity on a solution and eventually revolt would follow.
So they set up our government in such a way, as to ensure, one side would not remain out of power indefinitely. They knew lack of political sway could cause an opposing side to do anything to regain influence.
In the present we are seeing a particularly ugly example of this lust for lost dominance. Our nation is at war with a ruthless enemy. An enemy our military faces daily and defeats routinely. Unfortunately these brave people who fight the war also have to suffer the shameful and silly antics of some people back home. These people are struggling to regain their lost political power through dissent directed at the war. Many believe the ability to voice dissent is one of our nation's strengths. I am sure it is. However in war it has proven to be an aid to our enemy. We have seen how this struggle at home gives our adversaries hope to fight on with their barbaric methods.
Recently it has occurred to me that if discord is a required ingredient of wartime success, I don't think it is, its presence is a reminder of childhood and being forced to eat some type of nasty tasting food with the assurance that despite the flavor and smell it is good for you.

Choir Of Hard Knocks Takes Off With Virgin Blue13/07/2007
Virgin Blue team members at Melbourne Airport will today wave a friendly farewell to Melbourne's very own, critically acclaimed, Choir of Hard Knocks (www.choirofhardknocks.com.au) as they take off to Sydney in preparation for sell-out performances at Sydney Opera House.
The Choir of Hard Knocks is an eclectic group of around 50 disadvantaged and homeless people who have come together to create an unlikely musical phenomenon under the leadership and guidance of Founding Choir Director, Jonathon Welch, former Opera Australia Principal.
Following a TV documentary on the formation of the Choir, which culminated in the release of their first CD "From the Heart – A Christmas Wish", and a hugely successful performance in front of 1600 people at Melbourne Town Hall, the Choir of Hard Knocks was invited by Sydney Opera House to sing at the world famous venue.
Initially, the Choir of Hard Knocks was to perform just one concert on Tuesday 17 July, however interest in the event has encouraged Sydney Opera House to host another two performances on Sunday 15 July to cope with ticket demand.
"We are delighted to lend our support by flying the choir to Sydney," said Heather Jeffery, Virgin Blue Airlines General Manager Public Affairs.
"Many of our own team were keen to see Virgin Blue help out. The Choir of Hard Knocks is an amazing example of what people can achieve, against the odds, through a combination of hope and perseverance," she said.
The Choir will sing on the very same stages where Dame Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti, KD Lang, Olivia Newton John, Harry Connick Jr and John Farnham have also performed.
Over sixty choir members, volunteers and musicians will fly with Virgin Blue this afternoon. The flight will be the first for many in the group.
For more information on the Choir of Hard Knocks performance at the Sydney Opera House please visit www.choirofhardknocks.com.au.
Media Note Photo Opportunity: For timings of the Choir of Hard Knocks' departure from Melbourne and arrival into Sydney please contact Leonie Vandeven on 0401 696 638.

Don't count on the T.Sage being logical and delivering a prophesy to match the recipient's expectations/understanding. The Guy's an Old semi-senile Toad who can't remember what he was saying or names. In my opinion Naruto was premature in cutting him off leaving the sage assuming that he and Naruto were on the same page (which they still could be), but then why did Kishi craft their exchange that way?
Anyway 2 things:
1) To the Toad Sage, even Jiraiya Chan was a Young Man, and I don't see him as the type to bother making fine distinctions.
2) Sasuke could still be the villain in question, but it would take quite a dramatic turn of events for that to happen.
At this point I see little chance of Sasuke and Naruto going all out to kill one another (not impossible though).

Soul protects frosted memories
Blue bird moves my anchor
from house filled with red feathers
Tatting memories stir my longings for
timeworn, gray wharf and rosy view
green ticket, my key to soar
dreams nested
in an endless sea of detours
heart bends as lost dreams haunt me
Nautilus' journey cryptic
uncharted venture won't tarnish
my house key
Give it a try! You might be a poet and didn't even know it~(my father said this all the time)
It is the first Wednesday of 2012. Every first Wednesday of the month is another installment of IWSG. Alex Cavanaugh is an author, Ninja, rocker and brain child behind this unique gathering. It is a wonderful support group mixed with writers who have been published and those who are insecure and losing focus. There is wisdom and support in this insecure gathering. Come by and check it out. YOU can make some new friends and learn you aren't alone in this process. For me, insecurity comes in waves. I feel good about I wrote, than an hour later, I wonder, "What was I thinking?" I think we have to keep surfing in uncharted waters, to learn, to develop our sea legs and become better. I am looking into a creative writing course and I need to refresh my grammar. I apologize to those of you who see the errors of my ways! I know I am weak and need to work on my skills, but it is a process. A great mind expressed: we need to learn the rules, then break them. I am breaking them and don't know it...not cool!
"Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively."

The new Sidewinder Scope Mount system works with all types of scopes, including red dots and crosshair sights. It is has multiple rails so you can also attach flash lights, lasers, and other tactical attachments that interface with standard weaver rails. The Sidewinder Scope Mount works with all weaver base rails, anywhere on your marker, and mounts directly to such markers such as the RAP4, T68, Tippmann markers, BT markers, Spyder MR series markers, SP1 and SP8 markers, and many, many more.
The Sidewinder Scope Mount has 3 offset levels. This feature enables you to configure the best mounting position for your sights, and clear any obstructions to have a wide, clear downrange view
even around hoppers. One of the very best features of the Sidewinder Scope Mount is its ability to adjust the height level above your markeradjust it up or down with a turn of the knob to change your impact point, use your existing metallic sights, see over the top of other accessories
or to see through it clearly without your goggles getting in the way of your stock.
Compatible with 1" and 30mm diameter scopes.
Why buy a bent stock just to get your goggles down to the sight line
when you can raise the sight line with the twist of a knob?
The Sidewinder Scope Mount is made completely out of metal and can be used with real firearms and airsoft guns as well, making it cross-compatible throughout the shooting sports. With the Sidewinder Scope Mount you are able to have complete control over your scope's horizontal and vertical adjustments, and even use it to interface with other tactical accessories. It will add a new dimension to your game
and a cool new way to accessorize your weapon of choice.
You can add a longer rail to your sidewinder scope mount. With this rail you can attach a red dot sight like the one to the right.

The message coming out of the Southern Gaming Summit was loud and clear: to be competitive, the Coast must have more amenities and attractions to expand its appeal to visitors.
Only one-third of visitors to Las Vegas now go there to gamble, according to Gary Loveman, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. Most guests, he said, are looking for experiences.
South Mississippi may be about to accommodate Mr. Loveman in a couple of ways.
This week, the Biloxi City Council may finally move the vision of a minor league baseball park on the Coast closer to becoming a reality. Such a facility would not only serve as an attraction for sports fans, but could easily be employed to attract concertgoers as well.
Earlier this month, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann announced the state's purchase of a large slice of Cat Island. The acquisition builds on the state's earlier purchase of almost all of Deer Island. Hosemann said he is working on making these public assets more accessible to both residents and visitors. His planning begins with Deer Island, where visitors could be ferried across the narrow waters separating it from Biloxi. At the island, a barge could be positioned with facilities for visitors. That would maintain the island's natural condition. And a barge could be moved out of harm's way in the event of a storm.
Both these enhancements happen to be connected to Biloxi, where Loveman's company could also be of considerable assistance. In 2007, Caesars Entertainment stopped construction of a casino on the beach. The shell of that project remains an eyesore on Beach Boulevard. "I think over time, the facility will be taken down," Loveman told reporters after his presentation at the gaming summit. We hope "over time" turns out to be soon.
In addition to adding to our amenities, we need to make the ones we have as attractive as possible. That certainly includes the scenery along the beach.

Dear Editor,
Please indulge your imagination with me for a moment. First, let's imagine there is a powerful organization that calls itself "The Church of the Sex Goddess". Then, let's imagine some of its members have created a monument to celebrate the ancient origins of their culture. Then, imagine they place copies of their monument on government land and in government buildings. Imagine, in your eyes, that their monument is extremely offensive, obscene, lewd, repulsive, and downright evil as an assault on your beliefs and your culture. Now, imagine the overwhelming majority of your countrymen supporting the monument and wishing it to be placed everywhere. Imagine the highest court in the land declaring it to be okay for the government to provide the means for the display of the monuments, as long as the intent is to show the history of a culture and not to promote it.
Without delving into legal issues, isn't it possible you might want to say, "let us only ask government to do unto others what we would have them ask government to do unto us"? Perhaps I have helped you to understand the feelings of some Americans whose beliefs and non-beliefs are in the minority. Let us remember that both America and Utah were founded by people of minority beliefs, escaping the dominion of a majority culture. Let us remember that when the Founders said we were all created equal, they did not say, "except people with different beliefs". Perhaps you believe the Ten Commandments pertain to God, in which case they should be rendered unto God. Let us render unto government only those things that pertain to government, i.e., the security of the equal inalienable rights of each of us.

The essence of being a douche. This is almost like being a cock head but ment to be said with a very intense east Coast accent. This word is not to be confused with shit head even though the meaning is generally the same.
Miguel is a cack head!!! And he knows it!!!

i both have FFVII and FFVIII for PSone and PC, it sucks on PC imo...
I never played FFXI on PC though... i wonder how good FFXI is.. actually..

FF XI was the only FF I've yet to play. I'm just against the notion of paying a monthly fee for a game I've already paid for. If I bought the game I expect to be able to play it without any hassles.
I was really disappointed when FF XI didn't include a single player component. It's the only FF missing from my collection :(.
Dang, I wish i had a DS and Jump Ultimate Stars, it looks like fun multi-player. It's ok though, cause on December third I'm gonna OWN in brawl. I'm a link user btw, XD. I hope he makes top tier in Brawl.
i dont like jump ultimate stars that much... i get bored from it really quick,
the best ds game to me so far is final fantasy xii revenant wings and donkey kong jungle climber,
i've also tried playing diamon on my r4, i beat it once.. never played it again cause it's boring lol...
the bleach games are awesome though
and the newest naruto sucked... it's that side scroll adventure like mario .. >_<, that's just to stupid... and the game itself just sucks..
oh and you just gotta try playing transformers on the ds, it's really awesome ^^
