Just right heel height!
"Love the very modest wedge heels on the Converse Hi Ness. ..gives them so much style and femininity. This light grey color is my second pair, and they look so streamlined with skinnies and capris. Everything about them is adorable - I'll be able to wear them all summer. Only complaint is that I always find Converse laces to be a little long!"

Spro Russ Lane Fat Papa 55 Crankbait
Bassmaster Elite Series angler, Russ Lane, designed the Spro Fat Papa 55 Crankbait for late fall and early winter when the water gets cold right through to prespawn. "I don't want to say the Fat Papa 55's only for early spring and cold water but that's really what I had in mind with this bait," says Lane. The Spro Fat Papa 55 has a much tighter wiggling action than the Fat Papa 70, and where the Fat Papa 70 is silent, Russ added rattles to the Fat Papa 55. "I think you need rattles in cooler water. I don't know the reason why, but based on experience, I just get a whole lot more bites with rattles in cooler water, and there's often a correlation with cold water fishing being dirtier water," admits Russ. The rattle also serves as a weight transfer system, allowing the Fat Papa 55 to cast extremely far considering its size, and it helps it dive deeper than other baits in its class as well. The rattle is also made out of lead, which produces more of a "thud" sound as it knocks around in its internal chamber. Equipped with super sharp #4 Gamakatsu trebles and available in a variety of colors, including some custom painted colors designed by Russ Lane, himself, the Spro Fat Papa 55 Crankbait may the little brother of the Fat Papa 70, but it isn't little on catching fish.

Customer Reviews
Comments: These crankbaits flat out catch fish. I have wrecked largemouth with the Bluegill color Fat Papa 55. Running along the bank and edges from 1'-10'. You can burn it or my favorite technique stop and go and they will crush it.
From: Yaknstein: GA 10/3/16
Comments: these crank baits are pretty good for largemouth and walleye application. I was fishing for largemouth and end up catching my biggest walleye, 24 1/4 inches from the shore, that wasn't the only one I caught got 4 of them in 15 min. Now I bought all the collors now.
From: Lee: Applton, WI 5/23/15
Comments: Tied on this crankbait, bluegill color for smallmouth at a local reservoir after seeing smallmouth destroy a bluegill that I hooked. This bait casts extremely well and catches fish like crazy.
From: Drew: Overland Park, KS 2/3/15
Comments: Bait spins while ascending, not what I want from a cold water bait. Not fully sold yet, I will try the other color to see if does the same thing.
From: Brett: NY 4/14/14
Comments: This is a deadly crankbait when fish are keying on smaller baitfish or in highly pressured lakes.It never fails to put fish in the boat for me.But like everyone Else We need some More colors.Love to see some colors from the Little John line being brought over.That is all the bait is Missing is some A couple More custom Color options.I have the 3 new colors but still Want a Cell mate color in this bait
From: Chris: KY
Comments: This is fast becoming my favorite crankbait!I would really like to buy some in "cellmate" color! Nasty Herring has produced very well with "high skies."
From: D: VA
Comments: These are great crankbait's when the bite is tough.But they desperately need to come out with some new color's.I would love to see a few colors from the Little John series being brought over.Pick one up they will put fish in the boat when conditions are tough or they are feeding on smaller baitfish
Comments: This lure is my new favorite! hands down. I just took these on their second trip and They preformed flawlessly again! First cast i caught a 7.5lb bass on the nasty shad. Then multiple 3-3.5 ponders on the Honey craw. I switch the hooks to Mustad short shanks but its not necessary. only issue is the last fish pulled the split ring off the front hook and i lost it.
From: Kieran: Marietta, Georgia, United states
Comments: Went out on the lake and finally got to do a bit of crankin and I couldn't be more satisfied with this one. Caught 10 fish in a few hours on the nasty shad. Definitely a nice crank and well worth the money!
From: Brandon: K3 IL
Comments: Fished it for the first time today in 50 degree stained water. I got tons of bites, no giants but every other cast got slammed. I used Nasty and Honey craw. Casts like a bullet and plenty of vibration. Great Crank.

By Nashville Tennessean
Changes for the better are coming in American health care. It would be a shame if the state of Tennessee fails to embrace the progress that it so swiftly took advantage of in education reform.
The matter of pressing importance is a decision: Will Tennessee operate its own health insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act or leave it to the federal government? Gov. Bill Haslam and a few other Republican governors seem to be balking.
The feds have extended the deadline until Dec. 14, but in the additional time given them so far, Haslam and the group of governors have seen fit to send a list of questions to the White House that could have been asked more than a year ago.
Under the exchanges, residents of a state will have a means of buying private coverage by choosing from a wide range of health-insurance plans. The idea became a part of the Affordable Care Act based on the success of individual exchanges in a handful of states, including Utah.
Health care companies, particularly in Nashville, a national hub for the health care industry, have been preparing since the bill became law in 2010. And 23 states plus the District of Columbia already have notified the federal government that they will run their own health exchanges, while 15 states say they will let the feds run their exchanges. That leaves 12, including Tennessee, that cannot seem to make up their mind.
As of Jan. 1, 2014, health insurance exchanges will be in operation nationwide. Unless Gov. Haslam and the General Assembly face reality soon, they will be ceding all authority to Washington.
Tennessee Republicans speak much of too much centralized federal control, but maybe, deep down, they are federalists.

About Mike Ireland
Singer/songwriter/bassist Mike Ireland leads the band Holler, which released its debut album, Learning to Live, on the Sub Pop label in 1998. Ireland recalls thinking that country music was uncool and exaggerated as a child in Missouri. He attended the University of Missouri-Columbia, and for eight years, while he got undergraduate and graduate degrees in music education and English literature, he played in the band And How. When college ended, the band broke up, and Ireland went home to Kansas City to get married and get a job. But an impromptu performance with two old bandmembers at his own wedding reception led him back to music. The friends soon formed the Starkweathers, an alternative country band. When Jonathan Poneman, the CEO of Sub Pop, heard the band's five-song EP in 1994, he came to a Starkweathers show in Lawrence, KS. He offered to release a single, and Ireland quit his day job teaching English composition so that he could focus on the band. But in October 1995, Ireland found out that the lead singer was having an affair with his wife, and both the band and his marriage broke up. He began writing dark, despairing songs, first in the country-rock style of the Starkweathers and then in the countrypolitan sound of the mid-'60s. As it turned out, the most impressive part of the Starkweathers to Poneman was Ireland's voice, so he signed him as a solo artist. Ireland asked brothers and former Starkweathers members Mike (guitar) and Paul Lemon (drums) to join him, and Dan Mesh won the audition for rhythm guitar. They called the band Holler and released many of Ireland's post-breakup songs on their debut album. ~ Brian Wahlert, Rovi


text: TequeelyYou probably think we are kidding. This must be a joke. The Tequeely is a cross between a Wooly Bugger and a Girdle Bug. The Tequeely has a copper bead and the body is made from a copper colored metallic tinsel that we cant find anywhere. The rubber legs are yellow and tied in a perfect straight line. The tail is a mixture of yellow and black marabou. This is not a joke.Brent called me one day and asked if we sold a Tequeely. I had never heard of that fly. He said it is an Orvis pattern. He went on to tell me that he and one of his friends were floating the Little Pigeon River, fly fishing for smallmouth bass. They were not catching anything. But, they saw another boat and those fly fishers were catching smallmouth bass. One thing led to another. Brent and his buddy traded some beer for two Tequeely flies. They started catching smallmouth bass. The rest is history. Well, not quite.I bought some Tequeely flies to sell in the shop from Orvis and bought two for myself, just in case. Josh and I were floating one of the tailwaters a few weeks later having terrible luck. We could not buy a smallie. I thought, What the heck and tied one on. Almost immediately I started catching smallmouth bass. Josh tied one on and did the same thing.I do not know if they work in lakes. I havent tried that. Maybe they only catch smallies when nothing else will. I do know this, we sell a lot of them. I would not be on a river without Tequeely flies in the boat or in my box. They are certainly good at saving the day. That is why they are on this page. Im not putting anything on here unless I know it works.

Dear Driving for Dollars,
I'm shopping for a used car, and I noticed that some national car rental companies sell their cars. However, I'm worried I'll be buying a car that has been driven hard and is prone to problems later. Is it a good idea to buy a used rental car?
-- Ana
Dear Ana,
While we all know rental cars have somewhat of a bad reputation as cars that have suffered abuse by their renters, there's no guarantee any used car you buy hasn't been abused in the same way unless you personally know its history. In fact, if you buy a used car from a dealer, you may in fact be buying a former rental car. When rental cars are removed from the rental fleet, they are sold. If they aren't sold by the rental car company's sales arm, then typically they're sold at a car auction where they are often bought by car dealers to sell on their lots.
One advantage of buying a used car from a rental car company is that they often come with a warranty of about one year, even cars that no longer qualify for the original manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty. Some rental car chains also offer a buy-back policy if you change your mind shortly after the sale. These features should provide some peace of mind.
Still, if you decide to buy a used rental car, make sure you get the best price possible by following these tips.

Here Come the The Lightning: Zzzzzzz. (Pronger Rips Into Tampa's Inaction)
Nation World HQ
November 09 2011 08:49PM
TAMPA, Fla. -- On paper, the Tampa Bay Lightning have one of the most exciting teams in hockey. Even with Ryan Malone and Victor Hedman injured, the Lightning can still boast Vincent Lecavalier, Martrin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos and Teddy Purcell. It's a team that shouldn't have trouble scoring. It's also a team that one would suspect plays "old-fashioned fire-wagon hockey."
But when the Lightning come to Winnipeg on Monday night, Jets fans are going to see a team that loves to trap -- a team that only seems to think about mounting an offense when it has the power-play, or when it falls behind. After all, when the Lightning beat the Jets 1-0 on Oct. 29, it was one of the few times this season the Lightning had scored the first goal of the hockey game. Even with that, Tampa took only 27 shots at Ondrej Pavelec while the Jets managed 28 on Dwayne Roloson.
On Wednesday night here at the St. Pete Times Forum, Philadelphia head coach Peter Laviolette appeared determined to show the hockey world that the Lightning are as boring as the outcome of their games this season would suggest.
A few minutes into the game, Laviolette had defenseman Braydon Cobourn stand in the faceoff circle just to the right of his goalie Ilya Bryzgalov and hold the puck. He actually had Cobourn just stand there and wait for the Lightning to challenge him.
Instead of challenging, the Lightning set up a one-three-one trap and didn't come inside the Flyers zone. As the seconds ticked off the clock and the crowd got restless, you could see the frustration on the faces of the two referees, Chris Rooney and Winnipeg's Rob Martell. The Lightning refused to forecheck, so the Flyers refused to move the puck.
"That's their game," said Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, after Tampa won 2-1 in overtime despite taking only 15 shots on goal. "We were making them look bad but we didn't do it on purpose. That's the way they play. Watch their games. That's the way they play. And with all that talent. But no, they're just going to stand there. Would you pay money to watch that? What a great way to showcase our product. And that was a nationally televised game, too. Maybe Shanny (Brendan Shanahan) should do something to regulate that."
Eventually linesman Tim Nowak blew the whistle and called for a faceoff in the very circle where Cobourn held the puck. That incensed Laviolette, but he didn't blow a gasket until later in the period -- after he had his defensemen do it two more times. The third time, Rooney skated to the penalty bench and took the head phones, apparently to talk to the tall foreheads in Toronto. Everyone figured he was just asking what the hell he was supposed to do.
"I hope everybody saw that because that's the way they play all the time," Pronger reiterated. "We weren't trying to make any kind of statement. We were just waiting for them to forecheck. That's not a forecheck. It's a stance. It's their goal-line stand.
"Eventually they came out of it and in the third period and overtime it was a heck of a game. But somebody had to make them come out of their stance."
One of hockey's greatest legends was at the game on Wednesday and he didn't think much of Tampa's approach to the game, either.
"You're watching history," said Chicago Blackhawks Senior Adsvisor of Hockey Operations Scotty Bowman, who was sitting a few seats down from me in the press box. "Nobody has ever done that before. You're watching history."
I asked Bowman if he'd ever thought of doing that when he coached.
"No, never would have crossed my mind," said Bowman who won nine Stanley Cups as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings. "I think Laviolette just wants to show everybody that this is horse-sh!# hockey."
The Philly coach had his defensemen hold the puck a few more times in the first and second periods -- seven times in total -- but eventually decided to just start rushes. He'd proved his point. The LIghtning trap and that trap is obvious.
"I think he just wanted to embarrass them," Bowman said. "I thought the Flyers might do some criss-crossing to try and start a rush or two, but they just stood there and Tampa didn't even bother to forecheck.
"They (Tampa) didn't do much of anything all night unless they had the man advantage."
According to Mark Didier of The Associated Press, Washington's Bruce Boudreau "did it a couple of times in here last year, but not to the extent that Laviolette did it."
Although Pronger migfht not agree, it was obvious that Laviolette was trying to make a statement and he succeeded, too. In 2005, when the NHL came back after the season-long lockout, the league's tall foreheads were committed to opening up the game. Seems they've failed. Despite dropping the centre line from two-line offside calls and doing everything possible to legislate more goal scoring (they even tried to re-interprete rules they already had) they failed.
Last year, one player scored 100 points (Daniel Sedin had 104), one player scored 50 goals (Corey Perry had 50) and only 29 players scored 30 goals or more. Granted, that's more than the year before the lockout. In 2003-04, no player scored 100 points, the leading goal scorer had only 41 and only 20 players scored 30 goals or more.
However, the year after the lockout, seven players scored 100 points (Joe Thornton led with 125), five players scored 50 goals or more and 47 players scored at least 30 goals. At first, it appeared the league had succeeded in opening up its game.
But we all knew that eventually NHL coaches would find the trap and the lock again and by 2007-08, those coaches who would rather lose 1-0 than win 9-8 had succeeded. That year there were only two 100-point scorers, three 50-goal scorers and 28 30-goal scorers.
Wednesday night, a frustrated Peter Laviolette decided to show the hockey world how widespread the trap has become again. Those who saw it might be wise to take notice.
November 10 2011, 11:49AM
wow this was amazing to see
also Blak says hi
While your stat comparisons before and after the lockout are correct, you need to look at how much of those "new" points were scored on the powerplay after the lockout.
If I recall correctly, there was a significant increase in the amount of penalty calls, specifically 5 on 3s as the players became accustomed to the new level of penalty calling.
Could more "sugar time" per game result in an increase in points??
Dear Jets Nation and Scott Taylor,
You both suck.
At the other 'Nation' sites, reporters and columnists actually take the time to respond to legitimate inquiries of readers in their comments section.
Thanks for not responding to my inquiry. It's no surprise that you have very little engagement, even though your site represents the biggest and best sports news story in Canada since the Vancouver Olympics.
Might I suggest you call Robin Brownlee or Jason Gregor over at Oilers Nation for some suggestions on how to do this correctly?
I await some response, but I won't hold my breath.

Committee reviewing year-round school
Shorewood — A school district committee will soon begin the task of rethinking school starting and ending times, as well as the idea of year-round schooling, according to a district news release.
The first meeting takes place from 5-7 p.m. Jan. 14 in the coach's conference room of the physical education building at Shorewood High School; the second meeting is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Feb. 11 in the same place.
"We think it's important to examine current research and the models of other school districts to determine if and how changes to our school day and calendar could better serve Shorewood students, families, and staff members," Curriculum Director Tabia Nicholas said in the release. "It's entirely possible that, following the research, the district will decide to stick to our present model."
The committee's early research and recommendations will be forwarded to the district curriculum committee on Feb. 12 and later to the School Board on Feb. 25. Anyone interested in serving on the committee is encouraged to contact Nicholas at firstname.lastname@example.com or (414) 963-6903.
NorthShore Hockey and
BloodCenter host drive
Mequon — BloodCenter of Wisconsin will coordinate a marrow donor registration drive and fundraiser with the Grafton High School Icehawks and Northshore Hockey Tournament from noon to 5 p.m. Jan. 11 at the Ozaukee Ice Center, 5505 Pioneer Road, Mequon.
Every year, more than 35,000 children and adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases, such as leukemia or lymphoma. For many of them, receiving healthy marrow and/or blood stem cell transplants is their only chance for survival.
The process, including paperwork, takes approximately 15 minutes.
Joining the registry is simple. Basic requirements for registering to be a potential donor include being between the ages of 18 and 44, in general good health and willing to be available if identified as a match for a patient in need. Once a health history form is completed, a mouth swab test is given. The swabs are tested to determine tissue type and individuals are only contacted if identified as a match.
For information, contact BloodCenter of Wisconsin's Marrow Donor Program at (866) 702-4673 or visit bcw.edu/marrow.
Few Bay homes have downspout connections
Whitefish Bay — A final report on the village's downspout disconnect program was brought to the Village Board Monday night, with perhaps as few as 10 homes with downspouts connected to sanitary sewers.
In the wake of widespread flooding in 2010, the village conducted two surveys that found 1,043 homes that might have downspouts going into the ground. In some of those cases, the downspouts are connected to sanitary sewers. Such connections can cause basement backups during the heaviest rainfalls.
But Assistant Village Engineer Aaron Jahncke told the board that a followup found that only 10 of the 1,043 homes were draining into sanitary sewers. "There may be more out there," Jahncke said, referring to other homes not located in the two surveys, "but I think we've pretty much exhausted this survey."
Brown Deer board adopts 2014 fee schedule
Brown Deer — A number of municipal fees will increase in Brown Deer, following a stamp of approval Monday by the Village Board.
Officials approved the village's 2014 fee schedules. The majority of municipal fees will remain the same since the document was last reviewed in 2012.
But the village is increasing fees for several line items, including a number of property inspections, dog and cat licenses, alcohol operator licenses and several library-related services.
In the year ahead, memberships to the Brown Deer Pond also are set to increase, from the previous range of $60 to $115 annually to $80 to $140 annually.
New hire to perform property inspections in Brown Deer
Brown Deer — Fernando Moreno began his position as Brown Deer's planning and zoning specialist Monday. The newly created position was included in the village's 2014 budget.
Moreno's duties include a number of tasks, including code enforcement.
Moreno, who holds master's degrees in public administration and architecture and urban planning from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, previously interned for the village in the community services and planning department.
"He's very knowledgeable," Village Manager Michael Hall said. "He's spent time on his own driving around the village and getting to know it better."
Jewish Federation partners
with One Happy Camper
Milwaukee — The Milwaukee Jewish Federation has partnered with One Happy Camper to help local children attend a Jewish overnight camp with $1,000 grants for first-time campers.
In order to enable as many children as possible to experience the power of Jewish camp, the MJF provides grants of up to $1,000 to families with children attending nonprofit Jewish overnight camp for the first time through the One Happy Camper program in partnership with the Foundation for Jewish Camp.
Families with children attending one of more than 150 nonprofit Jewish overnight camps — including Steve & Shari Sadek Family Camp Interlaken, Camp Ramah Wisconsin, Camp Young Judaea Midwest, Olin-Sang Ruby Union Institute, Gan Israel Michigan and more — for their first summer may receive a grant regardless of need or background. Families can find camps and apply for grants by visiting OneHappyCamper.org.
Health Department
hosts screenings
The North Shore Health Department is hosting adult health risk screenings Jan. 15 and Feb. 19 at the Brown Deer location, 4800 W. Green Brook Drive, and Jan. 18 and Feb. 25 at the Shorewood location, 2010 E. Shorewood Blvd. The program includes a blood analysis for total cholesterol, blood pressure and weight check, plus a consultation with a registered nurse. The cost is $30.
Free blood pressure screenings will also be offered Jan. 8 and Feb. 5 at the Whitefish Bay Community Center, 5205 N. Lydell Ave., room 17; Jan. 28 and Feb. 25 at the North Shore Library, 6800 N. Port Washington Road in Glendale; and Jan. 22 and Feb. 26 in Shorewood.

Village tweaks its employee handbooks
Brown Deer — The employee handbook for Brown Deer municipal employees has a few minor amendments, Village Manager Michael Hall announced at a meeting Monday.
The changes, applicable primarily to public works employees, are designed to be in compliance with the fair labor standards act, or FLSA, and reflect when overtime will and will not be granted — primarily during holidays when an employee might already have paid time off.
The Village Board did not take any official action, but the board's Personnel Committee previously reviewed the amendments.

Gov. Bill Haslam made his way to West Wilson Middle School Thursday to announce that Tennessee had the largest academic growth of any state on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress.
Not only was it the biggest for the year, it was the biggest for any state since the assessment started over a decade ago.
"We literally blew away other states in test results," said Haslam.
Tennessee saw a 21.8 point jump. The closest was Indiana, who saw a 14.67 point jump. The previous best was Maryland in 2007 with a 18.92 point jump.
Tennessee jumped from 46th to 37th in 4th grade math and 41st to 31st in 4th grade reading. In eighth grade math, Tennessee jumped from 45th to 43rd and in 8th grade reading, the state jumped from 41st to 34th.
"I see this as a step along the way," said Haslam.
He said that when he became Governor, he told everyone that he is tired of seeing Tennessee in the 40s as far as rankings in education. He said with a strong bipartisan effort, including the foundation laid by former Governor Phil Bredesen, they were able to make this step toward becoming a great education state.
"This really has been a victory for the teachers of Tennessee," said Bredesen. "Congratulations, this is really your day."
Both men applauded the work of the teachers, administrators and students in improving the scores.

Fighting terrorism and transnational crime through effective border management.
Law enforcement officials at INTERPOL's National Central Bureaus are connected to each other and to INTERPOL databases through the I-24/7 secure global police communications system.
Technical solutions extend access to INTERPOL databases to frontline law enforcement officers at airports, sea ports and land border crossings. Interoperability with existing national border security systems ensures efficiency and ease of use.
With access to INTERPOL databases, border officers can screen people, goods, vehicles and vessels against millions of records contributed by member countries across the world.
Operational databases for first-line checks

I was wondering around the city center of Diyarbakir last weekend when I saw a great shopping arcade with many small shops selling various foods special to the region. As a foodie, I almost barged into it without hesitating as everything looked so tempting! The first thing taking my attention was what we call menengic….

Gender and Attorney Negotiation Ethics
Art Hinshaw
Arizona State University
Jess K. Alberts
Arizona State University
July 2, 2012
39 Washington Univ. Journal of Law and Policy 145 (2012)
Building on the authors' prior study of attorney negotiation ethics, this paper looks at the data through the lens of gender. The literature examining gender and ethics, both for attorneys and non-attorneys, finds either that women act more ethically than men or that there is no difference between the sexes. The findings in this study are more nuanced: while there was no difference in responses of men and women when asked to engage in a fraudulent negotiation strategy, there was a difference in response to a follow-up request to employ a more subtle form of the fraudulent negotiation strategy, a pure omission.
Unexpectedly, the men performed better than women. Additionally, the men performed better than women when asked whether the client's initial request constituted a misrepresentation and whether a key fact was protected from disclosure by the Rules of Professional Conduct. Some of this difference correlated with the amount of respondent professional experience, but that does not explain the entire difference in the results. The survey instrument was not designed to investigate and uncover the factors that lead to the differences, thus it is not entirely clear why these gender differences exist. The article hypothesizes what these other factors may be, such as differences in the manner in which women and men organize information when making decisions, differences in how men and women respond in ambiguous ethical situations, and differences in how men and women advocate for others.

Founded by Shaun Bailey and Billy Skinner, Predator Swimbait Co. has finally unleashed their Line Through Swimbait. Tested and refined over many months, it's features innovative colors and a supreme action. Burn it extremely fast or crawl it super slow, it won't roll and the tail just keeps kicking.

text: This summer's line up isn't that bad (those that were expected to be nice, seem nice and the like), but if I had to mention one anime that surprised me the most, it's going to be Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi aka "Sunday Without God" (it's actually aired on Sundays), it's so f*cking deep, I mean seriously, sure I have seen deep anime after their full story and the like, but this ? It's only a few episodes in the story and it's so f*cking deep, I'm not sure if I have ever seen any anime go that deep that quickly, I actually wonder if the rest of the anime will be that good. Certainly a happy surprise (now I have to wonder if they made a really good adaptation, or perhaps as usual, the source (LN) is even better than that ?).

Former Emery County Clerk Bruce Funk has retained legal counsel. Funk attended the regular commission meeting on April 18. In speaking with Funk after the commission meeting went into executive session he said the thing that bothers him is that several times through the various commission meetings and special commission meetings is that he repeatedly requested legal counsel. He also asked who should be his legal counsel. The county attorney had a conflict of interest and would not be proper counsel for Funk. Funk said his lawyer has now been in contact with the commission but he was not at liberty to say what his expectations and requests of the commission include.
Funk said he approached a lawyer out of Salt Lake, the law office of Phillip W. Dyer and retained him as his counsel. Funk said, There is a personal side of the story that needs to come out. Funk said when he is ready to tell that story and the time is right hell speak out.

I said signing George Hill to that contract would come back to haunt us...thats not because of this game, but in general, he needs to be a backup.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Miami looks tired 4 minutes into their season...
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

TNT Overtime should have a "Derrick Rose Knee Cam" with a camera in full zoom on that thing. It should be watchable 24/7. Best reality TV show ever: so much suspense.

Unable to watch the game due to no cable , Hows the team looking?? I see we're down at half
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
I was responding in kind to someone claiming an irrational hatred of a good human being solely because they had the gall to play for IU.
Unfortunate as it is, you did
Thanks Frank!
We won't even get out of the first round playing like this!
Man heat look pretty bad so far
Thanks Frank!
Carry on.
Which Flopper flopped?
Super Bowl XLI Champions

Dunleavy is one player I like less than all of the Heat besides Wade.
Bosh is allergic to being closer than 15 feet

Hostname OEL
By John Graves-Oracle on Apr 26, 2012
I noticed an odd thing when using OEL under VirtualBox. When using bridged network, if my dhcp server supported it, I would be assigned a hostname and on booting the VM, the hostname would be updated automatically. I really don't want this behaviour because things like the Oracle DB use the hostname for configuration file directories and some Fusion products have problems when the hostname keeps changing, especially when the hostname is not properly configured in the /etc/hosts file.
Naturally, I thought the fix would be simple. I went into the network config, unchecked the 'Automatically obtain DNS information from provider box and put localhost.localdomain in the hostname box:
To my surprise, this didn't work. After much playing around with the settings, I found that if I used anything but localhost or localhost.localdomain in the hostname field, it worked. Odd.
You have to love OEL... In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory, you'll find a file called network-functions. There is a function called need_hostname() about halfway down the file. You'd think the "need_hostname" would return false if the hostname field was manually set, but no... It has this bit of code:
need_hostname () { CHECK_HOSTNAME=`hostname` if [ "$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "(none)" -o "$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "localhost" -o \ "$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "localhost.localdomain" ]; then return 0 else return 1 fi }
As you can see, it simply checks to see if the hostname is currently localhost or localhost.localdomain. If so, it asks for a hostname from the DHCP server.
I couldn't think of a better solution than just modifying the code. I just hope I remember after an OS upgrade!
New code:
need_hostname () { CHECK_HOSTNAME=`hostname` if [ "$CHECK_HOSTNAME" = "(none)" ]; then return 0 else return 1 fi }

Well, not this one
"The color of the shoe caught my attention as well as the wedge. I where a size 6 shoe in brands I typically buy. I don't buy this brand so I purchased a 1/2 size larger. To my surprise I couldn't even fit that size because it was too small! Oh well."
