Kelly & Katie Janine Leather Wedge Sandal--Black
"I bought a very similar pair in brown and love them. So I ordered this pair in black. I don't love the looks of the black shoe. I know now I prefer the more neutral nude/brown look but I've gotten compliments on them so I will keep them. Rubbed a bit on one toe but a bandaid solved the problem."

We Catch Up With Steven Fletcher Ahead Of The Wear-Tyne Derby by Aaron› 27 Oct 2013
Ahead of Sunderland's derby game against Newcastle this afternoon, we sat down with striker Steven Fletcher earlier this week to get his thoughts on the big game. Recently returning to the side following a shoulder injury, Fletcher will be itching to get back into action against the Toon today and we wouldn't bet against him grabbing a goal or two in his Geometra II boots.
Check out the video above to hear Steven Fletcher's thoughts on the new Sunderland manager Gus Poyet, what effect the fans can have in today's big game, and also how he's coping with being a new dad!

The Oscars Winning Style
Sadly for the rest of us (and especially for me), this was as close as my St. Louis sister, Karlie Kloss, got to Fashion Week this season. But even here, at a Runway to Win gala, which raises funds for Barack Obama's reelection campaign, it's clear to see what has made her such a catwalk favorite: Look at all those limbs and that adorable smile. While it may have been tempting to overdress for the president, I love the effortless grace that Karlie has here. She looks sweet, calm, and comfortable. Just like all my friends from St. Louis!
Alexa Chung's TV show, 24 Hour Catwalk, is currently airing on Lifetime, and I play the role as a guest judge on the reality program. Here's a little gossip from behind the scenes: Alexa Chung really is that nonchalantly glamorous. While the rest of us wrinkle our clothes or stain our looks by shoving our faces with snacks between takes, there's Ms. Chung, perfectly and artfully distressed. That's what I loved about this Louis Vuitton look, which she wore to the amfAR gala. Cream satin and oversize lace may look too formal on someone else, but it's downright chic on her.

Lv. 1 Female Trapinch for Takeo's 2x Rare Candies.
Trade Confirmed
You're linking to Hayward's pickup post for the Insect Plate, trading it as your own.
If Hayward has traded it to you then it's the TRADE POST you need to link to as proof of ownership, not to his post. I look at this and think, "What on earth is he doing trading another member's item?" You need to prove it's now yours before you can trade it away.
This needs to be edited with the correct link and if anyone else has traded in this way, or if you've received something in trade that is linking to another member's Pokémon and/or item then the person you traded with needs to alter their post.
The bottom line is you can't trade something you don't own so make sure you prove ownership when using or trading something. Additionally, if you're trading with someone and they've not linked properly, don't confirm the trade until they've corrected their post. Please show a little common sense here people, that's always we ask.

Virgin Blue Launches Another Innovation For Travellers Online, Realtime Currency Conversion02/03/2006
Virgin Blue has launched another initiative for travellers who book their flights online – Dynamic Currency Conversion. This service allows travellers with foreign credit cards to choose to pay for their flights in their local currency at the time of making their booking, rather than letting their bank convert the purchase into their local currency on their monthly credit card statement.
Launched this week on the Virgin Blue website, Dynamic Currency Conversion is a sophisticated IT innovation. It automatically recognises major foreign credit cards and displays the fare quote in the relevant foreign currency, converted in real time, to allow Guests the opportunity to purchase in their local currency.
The feature will be of particular benefit to international travelers, who can purchase Virgin Blue fares from anywhere in the world to travel on a network spanning 22 Australian and 8 International destinations.
Virgin Blue General Manager, IT, Nick Brant said, "Anyone who has ever purchased goods or services priced in another currency will recognise the benefits of this initiative."
"This has been a key project for our IT team and we have spent twelve months working closely with our partners Fexco, Navitaire and Dialect to help design and implement this exciting initiative."
He continued, "Virgin Blue is the first carrier in the world to launch real time compliant dynamic currency conversion capability with Navitaire's Open Skies reservations system."
"This is another unique service we can offer Virgin Blue Guests as a result of our commitment to continue developing groundbreaking technology to the advantage of our Guests." This follows recent initiatives such as on-line check-in capabilities (check yourself in, choose your own seat and print your own boarding pass) and self check-in kiosks at all major ports.
More than 90% of Virgin Blue bookings are now made on-line, compared to approximately 15% when the airline first launched into Australian skies in August 2000, demonstrating the increasing trend towards internet bookings.
Nick Brant added, "Our Guests can see exactly what the exchange rate is and how much they are paying at the time of making their booking. This means no nasty surprises for Virgin Blue flyers when they receive their monthly credit card statement. It doesn't get any more transparent than that."

Exploration, mining and mineral processing activities involving locatable minerals on BLM administered land are controlled by the regulations at 43 CFR Subparts 3715 and 3809 and in Wilderness Study Areas, 43 CFR Subpart 3802. Operators are required by these regulations to prevent unnecessary and undue degradation or avoid impairment of wilderness characteristics. Surface Management Handbook H-3809-1 explains policies, processes and procedures for the implementation of the 3809 regulations.
Notices are submitted for exploration activities covering 5 acres or less and the removal of bulk samples of less than 1,000 tons of presumed ore for testing. Exploration on tunnel sites would typically require the filing of a notice. Operators must not segment a project by submitting a series of notices for the purpose of avoiding filing a plan of operations. Notices are filed with the appropriate BLM Wyoming Field Office.
A plan of operations is required for any exploration that would disturb more than five acres, involving bulk sampling of 1,000 tons of more of presumed ore for testing, and for operations greater than casual use in special status areas as listed at 3809.11(c). A plan of operations is typically required for operations on mill sites. Plans are filed with the appropriate Field Office. Whenever the BLM determines that an EIS must be prepared as part of the processing of an EIS, the applicant must pay a processing fee (see 3800.5(a) and 3000.11).
An applicant for any action for which a mineral examination, including a validity examination or common variety determination, and their associated reports, is performed under §3809.100 [withdrawn or segregated lands] or §3809.101 [materials such as sand, gravel and stone that may be common variety] must pay a processing fee per §3800.5(b). Information about processing fees is also found published in Instruction Memorandum no. 2006-106.
Use and occupancy of the public lands in association with the development of locatable mineral deposits must be reasonably incident and approved by the appropriate BLM Wyoming Field Office; see 43 CFR Subpart 3715. The location of a mining claim, mill site or tunnel site does not give the claimant an exclusive right to surface resources of the claim or site.
The BLM Wyoming coordinates its review of surface management notices and plans of operations, review of bonds and inspections of operations with the State of Wyoming, Department of Environmental Management Land Quality Division (WDEQ-LQD) under a memorandum of understanding. Operators are directed to the non-coal WDEQ guidelines which list what they need to file with the State and list certain standard operating practices. The amount of financial guarantee to cover the reclamation of exploration, mining and minerals processing is agreed upon by both the State and BLM. The bond instrument is held by the State and is payable to both the State and the Secretary of the Interior. When reclamation is to the satisfaction of both agencies the bond can be released. The types of bonds acceptable to the BLM are recapped in Instruction Memorandum WY-2010-001.
The BLM and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding coordination of environmental documentation, where possible, of uranium processing operations in western states, including Wyoming and Nebraska, where the NRC retains primacy for the issuance of source material licenses.
Operations are subject to inspection at any time. Operators who fail to file a notice or plan of operations before conducting operations, fail to file to use or occupy claims or sites, fail to comply with the provisions of the notice or plan of operations on file with the Field Office, use or occupy and/or causes unnecessary or undue degradation are subject to being issued a noncompliance order, suspension order, revocation of the plan of operations or nullification of the notice. Operators adversely affected by a BLM decision can request a State Director Review or appeal to the Office of Hearings and Appeal.
Operators are encouraged to make early contact with the appropriate Field Office regarding plans to conduct locatable minerals operations. If the area of interest to you is on a National Forest, please contact the administering U.S. Forest Service Ranger District; a listing of such offices appear on page 19 of the Wyoming Public Lands Access guide.
The information above is general in nature and is not meant to address all circumstances.
Determination of Surface Rights under Public Law 84-167 (1955)
Prior to 1955, claimants had certain surface rights associated with their mining claim. Public Law 84-167 required BLM to publish each township in each state where the United States wished to acquire complete surface management rights. Most townships were published between 1955 and 1968. The Master Title Plat for a particular township (and the Historical Index) will show if the township was published, give the date of publication, and list the claims (by claim name) that responded or were adjudicated surface rights under this Act. To maintain surface rights under this determination, the chain of title for each claim listed cannot be broken.

We are excited for another season of Jr. Jazz basketball. This year we have added a new program to make the Jr. Jazz program even better. The new program is called the Utah Jazz Sportsmanship Initiative. It teaches and emphasizes the importance of good sportsmanship. The program will not only focus on the players and their behavior, but on the behavior of coaches and parents as well.
Each week players, parents and coaches will be scored based on their behavior during the game. At the end of the Jr. Jazz season the team in each age division with the highest score will be the winners.
The winning teams for each city will be invited to a banquet at the Delta Center to honor the sportsmanship winners. Parents and coaches of the winning teams will also be rewarded. As parents, your behavior will directly affect your kid's opportunity to win the award.
Please remember that the purpose of the Jr. Jazz is to emphasize skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and positive adult interaction. You as parents play a crucial role in accomplishing these goals for your children and well as all the others participating in the Jr. Jazz program. Please help us teach everyone the importance of good sportsmanship and make the Jr. Jazz program enjoyable for all who participate.

Effective year around, especially in the Spring and Fall, it has a killer bait fish profile that looks exactly like what bass are feeding on with a textured finish and 3D eyes that put it over the top. Its cupped face also helps it produce a tremendous amount of vibration and a super loud rattle calls the fish out of the grass. Fish it fast or slow, rip it out of vegetation, the Rapala Rippin Rap is available in a range of proven colors to help you match the hatch and catch fish all year long.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I was at my uncle's house just hanging out and talking when he says that he lives right by Old Hickory Lake. Well I didn't know that but I always keep a few rods in my truck. We had been fishing at a pond earlier and got skunked so he was talking smack all the way to the lake. Well we get there and he water was super muddy and all I really had to use for that lake was a Crawdad Rippin Rap. I had never used a Rippin Rap but I knew how to use one. So I tie on the Rippin Rap and my uncle ties on a Rat-L-Trap of basically the same color. First cast I pull up a ton of algae and realize that I need to keep it off the bottom. So my next cast I cast to almost the same spot and kept my rod tip high and WHAM this two pounder smacks it. I walk a little farther down the back and WAPPOW another two pounder. In an hour of fishing I pulled in 12 bass over a pound from the bank and my uncle did not catch a single one.
From: Connor: Nashville, TN 10/2/14
Comments: I have used this lure once and caught a 1 pounder. This crankbait has a great action, great rattle, and comes though grass like no other.
From: Alex: Charlotte, NC 4/20/14
Comments: Great lure. Great action, sound, vibration...Oh yeah, and it catches fish! Lots of yellow perch in the pond I usually fish in, so tried that color. Holy cow...hit after hit. Lots of fun! Match the forage and hang on!!
From: Dave: VT
Comments: I got my biggest bas ever on this lure on my first cast. this is definitly one of my favorite lipless cranks out there. too bad they done have the color here its chartruse shad.
From: Ben: FL
Comments: Pretty good little rattle bait. My favorite is the Xcalibur, and I still like the Original Bill Lewis as well. This bait has some excellent colors though, so I have a few of these as well. Definitely worth a try.
From: Zack: WV
Comments: This bait truly did it for my brother and I in the fall. I'm usually too stubborn to throw anything but a Strike King Red Eye Shad or XCalibur xr50, but this bait gets it done and slow speeds when the water is cold. I like that it has a tighter wobble than most as well for cold water situations. The red craw pattern is the deal.
From: James: Valparaiso, Indiana, USA
Comments: Best lipless I have found. Great sizes, great action and super colors and detail. The gold chrome pattern is great.
From: Todd: TN
Comments: awesome bait rip it up or pull it up and let it fall on semi slack line ...we caught 23 fish in 2 hrs on a lake we usually catch 10 on a good day the red craw was killin em 2- 30" pike 4# largemouth bunch of pickerel walleye and a pech every thing was killing this thing we were using the # 6 on 10# power pro in 12' of water..
From: J: Oakland, MD
Comments: Great little vibration bait. This bait really transmits good feel through the line, you know it's working. It also works at fairly low speeds and if you just barely reel it the bait glides which is deadly after it has been vibrating. The smallies love it but I also catch a lot of walleyes as by-catch. Something about the frequency they like. Last note: killer bait for brown trout too, awesome river lure.
Just wished that TW carried the #5 (2") version of this bait, it is deadly when bass are feeding on smaller crays or fish.
From: Jon: WY
Comments: Easily the best lipless crankbait out there. This has been a pre spawn killer for me, it is extermely loud and that cupped lip gives the bait a nice tight wobble......you just want to replace the back hook because it is way to small but the front treble should be good. Just swap out the back hook and youll get more hook ups and it wont hook the fish as deep
From: Bassmaster
Comments: This is a great bait. It has many good colors and it holds up well. I have caught many fish on it. The hooks are a little small, but i haven't lost a fish with it yet.
From: Brian: Chicago, IL
Comments: Money.......thats all. one of the best lipless cranks out there
From: Bassmaster
Comments: This bait is a winner! Wish TW had it in the silent model...it is absolutely killer on spots! The big lips like it too!!
From: Curt: GA
Comments: Rapala hit a homerun with this one. Tryed it on Lake Hartwell last week and caught 11 bass on it, largest at 6lbs in 44 degree water
From: Jeff: Toccoa, GA

Archives: Chinese New Year
Coolest sounding year ever…Year of the Dragon
That's right, today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and this year is the Year of The Dragon.
So what does that mean besides sounding like a cool martial arts film–it is actually the name of this bad 80s action movie starring, Mickey Rourke. Well actually, I was not too sure so I did what anyone does in 2012–I Googled it.
Here is what I learned based on the order of my top five Google results:
1. Evidently the Year of the Dragon may cause a Baby Boom in Asia. See according to this Time Magazine article, "the dragon, considered the most auspicious Zodiac sign in Chinese culture, is often associated with good fortune and intelligence and is believed to be the sign of those destined for success," and so naturally it becomes a popular to have children.
2. The Chinese evidently know how to ring in a new year right. This Euronews.net YouTube video shows the festivities complete with fireworks and giant bell ringing.
3. And in case you've been under some rocks, China is a huge trading partner with America. This relationship is examined in this WSJ.com guest column by Ed Gerwin, senior fellow for trade and global economic policy at Third Way, who argues that China faces some important choices this year.
4. And at #4 we have the ubiquitous Wikipedia and it's reference page about the Dragon and what it means in the Chinese Zodiac. It restates much of what was stated above but also adds that the year of the Dragon is also observed by the Mongolian calendar as well. As a student of history, I find this interesting since the Mongolians often raided China (hence the Great Wall) and eventually conquered it. So it makes one wonder what the ultimate results where of the Mongolian's aggressive conquering of the culture to the south. Which culture left the most impressions on the other?
5. And last but not least on the short list is a link to a page that describes in detail what it means to be born in the Year of the Dragon. If you were born in a dragon year (remember it means you should already have luck), here is their outline of our base personality. You are…
Couple of not so hot traits in there (conceited, tactless), but I guess you can make up for it by telling folks you were born in the Year of the Dragon which is by far the coolest sounding year. I guess I'd be conceited too.

Recombinant DNA and the Birth of BiotechThe Business of Biotech
As a brand new technology, recombinant DNA offered potential avenues for big profit, one of which was the promise that companies would be able to rewire microorganisms into tiny factories for making chemical products from medicine to industrial solvents. However, recombinant DNA also represented a big risk—no one knew if the lab technique could effectively be used to make a marketable product on a large scale. Still, the new technology piqued the interest of many investors. By the early 1980s, there was a discernible "Biotech Boom" in the United States, with a ripple of buzz about the industry and a fleet of new companies popping up.
One early start-up company, Genentech, turned to the pharmaceutical industry as place to profit from recombinant DNA. For its first product, the company set its sights on insulin, a relatively simple and well-studied protein used to treat diabetes. Traditionally, insulin had been isolated from pork and beef pancreases, but as the demand for insulin grew with the population of American diabetics, it made sense to search for an alternate source for the drug. Recombinant DNA offered a potential solution.
To bring recombinant insulin to the market, Genentech struck a deal with well-established pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, which held a large share of the traditional insulin market. Lilly would provide funds to Genentech to create the recombinant bacteria and to coax them to produce insulin. If the Genentech team was successful in creating the insulin-producing bacteria, the microbes would then be licensed to Lilly, which would grow the bacteria and harvest their insulin on an industrial scale.
At Genentech, scientists needed to first build a synthetic human insulin gene, then insert it into bacteria using the recombinant DNA techniques. To do so, the company hired a team of young scientists, many of them just a few years out of graduate school. The Genentech scientists were not alone in their efforts to make the insulin gene—several other teams around the country were racing to be the first to make this valuable human protein grow in bacteria. In the end, however, Genentech scientists won the race.
One scientist on the team, Daniel Yansura, knew the work that he was doing was historic and saved many of his tools from those first days at Genentech. Below is a gallery of some of those laboratory objects which were donated to the museum in 2012.

Soil scientists from universities, research institutes, international organizations, governments, and the private sector gathered at FAO Headquarters to help shape the Global Soil Partnership. While in Rome, they also spoke to us about what they would like the Global Soil Partnership to achieve an the main challenges to sustainable soil management that they are facing in their countries and regions. This series of interviews provides an overview of soil management concerns around the globe.

By 2050, food production is projected to increase by about 70 percent globally and nearly 100 percent in developing countries. This incremental demand for food, together with demand from other competing uses, will place unprecedented pressure on many agricultural production systems across the world. These 'systems at risk' are facing growing competition for land and water resources and they are often constrained by unsustainable agricultural practices. They therefore require particular attention and specific remedial action. The first ever State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture is now available electronically in English, with other language versions to follow soon. A major objective of this publication is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, and inform on related opportunities and challenges.

Soils are a limited natural resource, but their role in food security is crucial. In light of climate change, soil degradation and erosion, farmers struggle to protect soil health. This video highlights the crucial role soils play in achieving food security, and provides examples of how local farmers in Bolivia and Kenya are adopting innovative methods to protect their soils.

With two seats up for grabs on the Highlands Ranch Community Association Board of Directors this spring, incumbents Brock Norris and Jeff Suntken both look like safe bets to retain their seats for another two years.
No other hats were thrown in the ring before the Jan. 31 deadline, meaning both incumbents are without competition for the March 19 election, unless a write-in candidate emerges.
Suntken, an Ohio native who works as a business and technology consultant, has served on the board for the past two years and was a district delegate from 2009-11, representing the Highlands Ranch Golf Club district. He has been a Highlands Ranch homeowner since 2000.
"I think the current board of directors is working well together and is working hard to create a vision and plan for the future of Highlands Ranch," Suntken stated in his candidate questionnaire, adding that having a stable board of directors is best for the establishment of a "five-year plan" for Highlands Ranch.
Suntken highlighted the creation of such a strategic plan; development of the remaining land in the Highlands Ranch planned development area; development, or lack thereof, in the Backcountry Wilderness Area; an improved Internet presence to build communication between residents and delegates; and providing the highest quality services at the lowest cost to residents, as the issues most important to the future of the community.
Norris, a native of Quebec, served three terms as the delegate representative for District 18 prior to being elected as a director in 2011. He shares a similar vision to Suntken regarding the future direction of the HRCA and listed the same five items as the top issues of importance for the association.
"One thing that I believe is that this is a team effort," he stated. "The board, delegates and staff work together, have mutual respect and strive to make Highlands Ranch even better than the extraordinary community it is."
A survey engineer and longtime business owner, Norris has lived in Highlands Ranch since 2000. He serves as the HRCA board liaison to the Metro District board and has helped to improve the relationship between Highlands Ranch's two main quasi-governing entities since coming into that position.
"I want to ensure the future uses of the backcountry are in accordance with what the residents want and what is in the best interests of the community as a whole," he stated as his top issue. "With the completion of the backcountry survey, the results will help give us a roadmap for how we move forward."
The director election will be decided by the HRCA delegate body.

Countdown to Mother's Day 2008: Top 10 Celebrity Moms: #6Friday, May 2nd, 2008
In honor of Mother's Day, join us as we continue our countdown of the Top 10 celebrity moms. We'll be highlighting 1 mom daily leading up to the big day, and to our #1 Celebrity Mom herself!
A Top Celebrity Mom
Katie Holmes Cruise
Katie – or Kate, as husband Tom Cruise has redubbed her – is mom to one of the most famous celebrity babes of all times: Suri (princess) Cruise. After Katie's whirlwind romance with Tom – and her super quick pregnancy – rumors began swirling about the authenticity of their claims of love… and even whether Tom was the baby's real father.
Hysteria intensified after Suri's birth on April 18, 2006 (the one-year anniversary of the couple's first date), since Tom and Katie kept their little princess shielded from the paparazzi for weeks. When Hollywood's most talked-about couple finally introduced Suri to the world, pictures of the gorgeous, blue-eyed baby girl squelched the gossip. Suri is the perfect genetic combination of both mom and dad.
Once the naÃve girl next door on the WB series Dawson's Creek, Katie Holmes Cruise is now one of Hollywood's hottest fashion plates. From running the New York City marathon to walking the red carpet, Katie does it all with sophisticated style. Of course, her favorite person to accessorize is little Suri, whose shoe collection probably rivals that of the wife of a former South American dictator.
Check back each day for another celeb mom (or you can cheat and check out our whole top 10 list here).

The Crusaders exacted sweet revenge over the Super Rugby champion Reds on Sunday after battling to a 15-11 win in Christchurch.
The Crusaders exacted revenge over the Super Rugby champion Reds on Sunday via a hard-fought 15-11 victory.
Just a solitary try was scored in the action from Christchurch Stadium and that arrived in the second minute when Reds hooker James Hanson burrowed across wide on the left.
But that acted as false hope of a high-scoring game as penalties and errors marred matters.
Tom Taylor kicked five penalties while Mike Harris struck two as the lead changed hands five times.
Taylor reclaimed the lead for the last time with his fourth penalty in the 72nd minute, putting his side ahead 12-11, then sealed the points late on.
The only area in which the Crusaders were wholly superior was at scrums where they dominated the Reds for all but a ten-minute spell in the second half when replacement Wyatt Crockett was binned for a shoulder charge on Will Genia.
The Reds gained the upper hand in most other areas, notably at breakdowns where they forced turnovers and gained early penalties from New Zealand official Bryce Lawrence.
New Zealand-born centre Mike Harris missed his only two kicks at goal in the first half as the Crusaders took a 6-5 lead to half-time. But he landed two from two in the second half to give the Reds an 11-9 lead with the three points that stemmed from Crockett's yellow card.
Penalties began to flow the Crusaders' way in the last ten minutes of the match and Taylor took full advantage, improving his tally for the 2012 season to 38 goals from 45 attempts.
Hanson handled twice in the movement that led to the only try of the match when the Reds charged down a clearing kick immediately after the kick-off. The visitors promptly drove toward the line, patiently recycled possession then helped Hanson over on the blindside.
Taylor kicked a penalty in the seventh minute and another in the 20th to force the first lead change of the match. Harris, who had missed the conversion of Hanson's try, then skewed a 33rd-minute penalty which cost the Reds any chance of taking a lead into the break.
He landed his first goal of the match three minutes into the second spell but Taylor replied only three minutes later. Harris goaled in the 61st minute to make it 11-9 before Taylor decided the match in a result that moves the Crusaders up to second in New Zealand.
The scorers:
For Crusaders:
Pen: Taylor 5
For Reds:
Try: Hanson
Pen: Harris 2
Crusaders: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Sean Maitland/Adam Whitelock, 13 Robbie Fruean, 12 Dan Carter, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Tom Taylor, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Luke Romano, 4 Sam Whitelock, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Ben Franks.
Replacements: 16 Ben Funnell, 17 Wyatt Crockett, 18 Ross Kennedy, 19 Richie McCaw, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Ryan Crotty, 22 Tom Marshall.
Reds: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Anthony Faingaa, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Ben Lucas, 9 Will Genia, 8 Scott Higginbotham, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Jake Schatz, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Greg Holmes.
Replacements: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Albert Anae, 18 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 19 Radike Samo, 20 Eddie Quirk, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Rod Davies.
Referee: Bryce Lawrence (New Zealand)

Xstrata Mount Isa Mines brings Virgin Australia to Isa18/05/2012
For the first time in 11 years, the north-west region will gain the benefit of a choice of two major airlines with Virgin Australia announcing it will commence competitive services between Mount Isa and Brisbane on 13 August 2012.
Xstrata Mount Isa Mines and Virgin have entered into a heads of agreement to support the new service that will see Virgin flying a 92-seat, Embraer E190 return from Mount Isa to Brisbane Monday to Friday.
Xstrata Copper North Queensland Chief Operating Officer Steve de Kruijff said the announcement comes after passenger numbers flying through Mount Isa Airport increased by 10% between March 2011 and March 2012 to almost 22,000 people.
"More competition in the skies is a benefit to the communities in the north-west region," Mr de Kruijff said.
"Xstrata has a high demand for flight services for contractors working on our many development projects expanding our operations as well as for business travel to and from our Brisbane head offices."
Mr de Kruijff said the announcement is also great news for employees and their families in Mount Isa.
"Research conducted with our people over the past few years found the cost of airfares was one of the most critical obstacles to their staying in Mount Isa.
"Now our people will be better able to plan for their holidays and events on their terms."
Virgin Australia General Manager Sales Justin Montgomery said the new services would benefit Mount Isa and regional communities greatly by providing choice on the route.
"Virgin Australia is proud to service the community of Mount Isa. These new services will bring a range of benefits including more competitive pricing, enhanced flight connections and a higher quality overall travel experience.
"The Mount Isa community will be able to connect with our growing network from Brisbane that includes more than 33 domestic cities and more than 400 international destinations," Mr. Montgomery said.
Mr de Kruijff thanked the other industry groups and bodies in the Mount Isa region that have joined them in voicing a need for a second airline to service Mount Isa.
"Organisations such as the Mount Isa Chamber of Commerce, our local representatives and the State Government should also be recognised for their tireless efforts in pursuing a second airline to come to Mount Isa," Mr de Kruijff said.
Xstrata will continue to use Qantas and Virgin services to help ensure Mount Isa has two reliable and competitive airlines.

Founded in 1972 as Four Corners Community Mental Health Center, Four Corners Community Behavioral Health, Inc. has been providing extensive mental health prevention and treatment services for the last 30 years to residents of Emery, Carbon, and Grand Counties. About 15 years ago, substance abuse prevention and treatment services were added to the Center's offerings. Four Corners' staff of over 60 professionals includes psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, licensed substance abuse counselors, registered nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, case managers, family advocates and more. Services offered include mental health evaluations and assessments, psychotherapy, inpatient care, crisis intervention, psychotropic medication management, case management, community support, referrals, consultation, education, preventative services targeted at high risk groups, in-home services, housing, family support, respite care, collaboration with other agencies, and public information. Four Corners has always placed a high priority on working with other community care givers such as doctors, nurses, teachers and law enforcement to make scarce service dollars go further and keep service quality as high as possible.
October was mental health awareness month. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 10 children and teenagers in the U.S. suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in a given year. Mental illnesses account for 4 of the top 10 leading causes of disability. The most common mental disorder, depression, afflicts 9.5% of adults and 12 % of women in a year's time. And, many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a time.
The good news is that mental illness is treatable. Evidence based practice - treatments that have been researched and proven effective - are allowing people with even the most serious of mental illnesses to manage or eliminate their symptoms and lead productive and meaningful lives.
Locally, Four Corners celebrated its 30 year anniversary in October. A private, not-for-profit agency, FCCBH, Inc. provides services to Medicaid recipients and is the sole source mental health and substance abuse program provider for Emery, Carbon, and Grand Counties. Four Corners' top priorities are serving severely and persistently mentally ill (SPMI) adults, severely emotionally disturbed (SED) children and persons with substance abuse problems.
During FY2001, Four Corners provided 66,634 hours of service to 2,076 individuals. Thirty-three percent of individuals served were children and 67% were adults. While Four Corners' serves an area with 1.88% of the State's population, the agency serves 4.78% of all public mental health recipients in Utah.
FCCBH, Inc. has successfully competed for several grants, allowing for the development of cutting-edge, evidenced-based treatment programs:
An ongoing state grant in collaboration with the 7th District Court, Emery County Sheriff's Office and the Emery County Attorney funds the Emery County Drug Court. Services are available to adults and teenagers in Emery County who have been arrested for alcohol and/or drug offenses who enter pleas in abeyance in District or Juvenile Court. After successful completion of the 18-month treatment and monitoring drug court program the original charges are erased from the person's record. Drug court participants are thoroughly assessed by Four Corners' substance abuse counselors and typically attend both one-on-one counseling and the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which meets four evenings a week. An Emery County Deputy assigned as the drug court tracker supervises numerous random urine tests and visits drug court participants in their homes and at work or school. The drug court program gives participants an opportunity to stop their use/abuse of substances, to decrease the likelihood of subsequent arrests through intensive treatment and monitoring, and to allow participants a second chance through a clean court record. In Grand County, a limited drug court has just been started with DWS funding in collaboration with the Grand County Sheriff's Office, DCFS, the Utah Attorney General and the 7th District Court to help parents who are loosing or have lost custody of their children due to their substance use.
Based on a nationally recognized model and with a special demonstration grant from the state, the Carbon/Emery Community Outreach Treatment Team (COTT) provides intensive case management services to persons with severe and persistent mental illness whose needs have not been well met by traditional services. A team of professionals goes out of the office to clients' homes and community locations to provide the range of services clients need to live successfully in the community, including: mental health treatment, medication management and monitoring, substance abuse treatment, employment and education services, assistance with housing and benefits, advocacy, and other services. The purpose of the COTT program is to reduce hospitalization and incarceration of persons with mental illness, improve symptom stability, lessen any negative impacts on families and communities, and improve quality of life for persons with the most difficult to treat illnesses.
Four Corners is one of two model sites in Utah participating in a five year project to incorporate more family involvement in the treatment of seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children. The Frontier Project employs a "wraparound service" model, which identifies individual service teams to meet the multiple needs of SED children. Teams - comprised of professionals from involved agencies and natural support persons, such as family and friends - focus on child and family strengths in developing treatment plans for children. The project works to improve the lives of children by mobilizing "family, faith, and friends", eliminating boundaries between social service agencies and between agencies and community.
Four Corners' Grand County office collaborates with the Department of Workforce Services and other agencies to provide resources and support for youth employment as well as education to prevent teenage pregnancy. With parental permission, social skills education combines information from Removing the Risk and Postponing Sexual Involvement (ETR Associates) and Step by Step (CHEF Associates) evidence-based prevention programs. Both programs are cited as effective and are approved by the Utah State Office of Education. The program provides education regarding high-risk behavior, abstinence, and contraception and provides opportunities to discuss pertinent teen issues and practice assertiveness, refusal and negotiation skills. Upon completion of this education, youth are eligible for several employment programs, giving participants the opportunity to accept responsibility, succeed at being productive, and make a contribution to their community.
Four Corners now has 30 years of service, partnerships and presence in Emery, Carbon, and Grand Counties. With an experienced professional staff, cutting-edge programs and extensive collaborative relationships, Four Corners looks forward to at least another 30 years of service.

Luck-E-Strike Rick Clunn Freak Crankbait
After 3 decades of professional bass fishing there isn't much left for 4 time Bassmaster Classic Champion, Rick Clunn to win. From the early days of a starting pistol take off, to the Elite Series, Rick has seen it all. This collection of baits will showcase the "classic's", that no matter what fads come and go in the fishing world, these baits will always end up back in his personal tackle box.
Designed by Elite Series pro Rick Clunn, the 3/4-ounce Luck-E-Strike Freak Deep Diving Crankbait sports an odd square bill that helps achieve a 20 foot diving depth. Clunn claims that the bill's design reduces cranking resistance and gives the lure a "hydrodynamic image" that's different from any other deep diver. Due to the bill design, shallow square bill crankbaits are well known for their deflective capabilities, Luck-E-Strike took those same characteristics and applied them towards a deep diving crankbait. Due to the unique bill design, snags and hangups are greatly reduced. Anglers can now fish with confidence knowing that stick-ups, stump fields and timber won't slow them down. Backed with quality split rings and treble hooks, the Luck-E-Strike Freak Deep Diving crankbait is available in several proven color combinations.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Finally made it out to somewhere I could throw this deep diver. It definitely dives deep. First cast and it hooked a respectable fish. We fish an old dredge lake with a lot of concrete and rebar in it. We loose a lot of lures. The Freak came through it very well until I got overconfident and hung it up on a spot known to hang up any and ever lure. We joke about getting some scuba gear on and stocking up a whole new tackle bag with the lures we'd find in that one spot.
From: Mike: KS 5/31/15
Comments: I fish the ohio river and lets just say its not a "big" fish produced for those of you who are used to catching 7 to 10 pound bass, but this bait catches fish period. One day of fishing this FREAK produced 2 3 pound smallies and believe it or not a 20lb muskie. I will continue to use this bait as one of my go-to lures from here on out
From: Andrew: OH
Comments: i bought 1 of these and i was excited 2 get out on the lake and try it out. well when it came in the mail it looked like a big piece of cheap plastic but i thought well maybe im wrong... um nope. 1st cast it fliped over on top of the water so i finessed it down to get it 2 dive and it would barely touch at 14ft. 4th cast it got hung up on a pea gravel point haha so when i retrieved it i retired it might use it for an ornament in my room.
Comments: Also, someone need to come out with a Deep diver in (Rainbow Trout) color! Thanks TW!
From: Jonny: CA
Comments: Genius design, I fished it on 17lbs. mono. down channel edges in 14ft of water. It out produced everything else we all threw. Thanks Rick this one is a winner
From: Durt: VA
Comments: This Is an awesome bait. It gets down deep faster than others, deflects great off bottom cover, has a little less resistance than other deep divers, and it flat out catches fish! The only thing I would change is the hooks. I have had a couple bend, but that was after 30 or so fish. I am a crankbait guy and this thing will catch fish deep all day
From: Drew: Milledgeville, GA
Comments: I have purchased a bunch of these cranks so far. They really are a deep diving crank. They run true out of the box, the hooks are sharp and the color selection is great for clear water. Clunn is a master cranker but the only negative is that I have had 1 break on me already!! As compared to a typical deep diving crank where the bill is the width of the bait, this bill is quite narrow where it connects to the lure possibly making a weak point. It completely broke there and I cant swivel the bill now. I have emailed Luck-E-Strike but haven't heard back yet. Not sure if this one was defective or a design flaw.....I use them in a river and not sure if they can truely hold up to the challenge yet....If it didnt break I'd rate it 10 out of 10, since it did I would say 2 out of 10. We'll see about the others I haven't used yet.
From: Brian: Buffalo, NY
Comments: I recently purchased 3 of these and was sincerely disappointed. Seemed to hang on every piece of wood. Hung up four casts in a row and I took it off.
From: Matt: AR
Comments: This bait catches 'em----very well made. Blue Claw and Tasty Shad have done well for me. Love the action and it will get down there. No complaints about the hooks. Can't wait to try the new smaller body size when they release it this fall that will also reach the same depths

Taken from NAMI which is located HERE.
At the 2012 NAMI National Convention in Seattle this past June, Jenny Haykin, M.A., C.R.C., discussed what persons living with mental illnesses need to know about accommodations at work. In her informational session, Haykin explained different ways to go about asking for accommodations and whether accommodations are beneficial for individual work problems.
The workplace, where adults spend most of their time has many triggers that can unnerve workers and decrease productivity. Haykin explained that triggers "are stimuli that set individuals into a place where they aren't happy." Triggers for most people include change in the workplace, feeling out of control, conflict of values and rejection.
Haykin provided many factual examples of when asking for accommodations was successful and times when they were denied. Haykin explained that accommodations can sometimes address triggers but accommodations aren't always the answer.
The first thing to take into account Haykin said, is whether your job fits your personality. "Individuals have to make the right choice in their choice of job," noted Haykin. If an individual chooses a job where they have to make presentations but they have a fear of public speaking, an accommodation wouldn't solve the problem; the job simply isn't a good fit for the individual.
If a poor job or employer match is the problem, then accommodation will not solve the underlying problem.
The Americans with Disabilities Act, initially enacted in 1990 and amended in 2008, requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities unless doing so would cause undue hardship.
Haykin explained that if you as a worker are qualified for the position you hold and can do essential functions effectively, you can ask for an accommodation at work. An accommodation is anything that makes it easier for a worker to complete essential job functions. Some examples of accommodations include regulated breaks, interruption management, tailored communication methods and eliminating marginal functions.
If an individual wants to ask for an accommodation, Haykin suggested kindly letting the employer know you're asking for an accommodation. "Your supervisor is the person who works with you to provide these accommodations, make theses interactions collaborative instead of putting your supervisor on the defensive," she added.
Haykin also suggested coming to your supervisor with ideas. Some supervisors won't have any ideas for you so you'll have to bring your own. Haykin advises that individuals bring an open mind to your ideas and don't demand things from your supervisor. They ultimately decide what will be implemented.
Haykin also encouraged individuals not be become discouraged if an accommodation doesn't work the way it was planned. Finding the right accommodation is a trial and error process.
If accommodations aren't working, and you need time off from your position, Haykin recommended qualified individuals take advantage of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If the employer in question has 50 other employees within 75 miles of an office, the employee has worked 12 months with the company and has worked 1,250 hours in the past year that individual qualifies for 12 weeks or 480 hours off from their position.
Haykin recommended using FMLA thoughtfully and only taking time off if it is really needed while giving employers as much notice as possible for extended leave.
Haykin concludes with the message that your job isn't over if you cannot get an accommodation, job reassignment is another possibility if you cannot complete your essential job functions. If there is an open position in your company that you qualify for the employer is obligated consider you for that position.
Understanding an individual's rights to accommodations and medical leave is crucial for those living with mental illnesses. Federal laws are there to assist workers with disabilities. Accommodations are a beneficial tool that can help reduce workplace triggers that can cause unproductivity. Understanding what can be done to assist you in your job can only benefit the longevity of your career.
For more information about accommodations, Haykin recommended the free services of the Job Accommodation Network.

Program theories often lay out causal mechanisms for how their activities are thought to achieve proposed goals. Sometimes, though, program theories assume that each step proceeds automatically to the next, ignoring contextual factors that may impede program action. Understanding a programs successes and failures requires going beyond simple causal mechanisms to investigate which facilitating and inhibiting factors are most significant. Explicitly augmenting a program theory with these factors provides a framework for detailed process evaluation, and program designs can be adjusted to capitalize on facilitating factors and mitigate inhibiting factors. We will practice identifying relevant facilitating and inhibiting factors and think about how an augmented program theory can inform evaluation design. Illustrations will come from an ongoing evaluation of the Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) program, a community-based farmer education program in rural Uganda. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to come with a program in mind for the practice exercises.

Bradley M. Campbell, Commissioner of the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (Department), pursuant to the authority
vested in me by Executive
Order No. 11, issued by Governor James E. McGreevey on March
4, 2002, by the Water Supply Management Act, N.J.S.A. 58:1A
-1 et seq., and its implementing rules, N.J.A.C. 7:19, by previously
issued Administrative Order Nos. 2002-05,
2002-07, and 2002-14,
hereby adjust the lawn watering restrictions currently in place
in New Jersey. This Administrative Order is intended to amend
and supplement previously issued Administrative Orders Nos.
2002-05, 2002-07,
and 2002-14. Administrative
Order Nos. 2002-05,
2002-07, and 2002-14
shall remain in effect.
the coordinated water management measures implemented by water
suppliers, municipalities, counties and the State, including
transfers of water and reductions in passing flows, and voluntary
water conservation efforts, water use demands remain at levels
that cannot be sustained under current conditions. Rainfall
throughout the State has been insufficient to moderate the severe
precipitation shortfall. Despite efforts by New Jersey's residents
and businesses to conserve water, the State continues to experience
a drought due to a significant long-term precipitation deficit,
compounded by below normal levels in surface and ground water
supplies. However, the current restrictions on outdoor water
use have had unintended impacts upon certain business sectors.
In order to moderate demands and be equitable to all business
sectors within the various drought regions, additional actions
are necessary at this time.
based upon the powers of the Commissioner during a water emergency,
set forth in the Water Supply Allocation Rules at N.J.A.C. 7:19-10.2,
I undertake the following actions to help alleviate the severity
of the water emergency. The provisions of Administrative
Order 2002-05 that are affected by this Order are shown
in italics below.
SECTION I. Statewide Water Use Restrictions
The restrictions imposed by Administrative
Order 2002-05 upon the watering of lawns, set forth
in Section I, subsection 8; upon the watering of trees,
shrubs, and vegetable and flower gardens, set forth in
Section I, subsection 9; and upon the watering of athletic
playing fields, set forth in Section I, subsection 10,
are hereby superseded by the following:
Company Name
State Certification Number
Telephone Number
Company Name
State Certification Number
Telephone Number
II of Administrative
Order 2002-05 regarding the watering of lawns, vegetation
other than lawns (trees, shrubs, flower and vegetable gardens),
and athletic fields, is hereby superseded by the following:
This Order shall take effect immediately and shall remain
in effect until superseded or terminated by my action
or by action of the Governor of the State of New Jersey.
All previous Orders issued by me shall remain in effect,
except to the extent that they conflict with this Order.
This Order amends and supplements, and is intended to
be read and implemented in conjunction with, Administrative
Order Nos. 2002-05,
2002-07 and
2002-14. All
other sections of Administrative Order Nos. 2002-05,
2002-07 and
2002-14 not
amended herewith continue in force unaltered.

Big Ridge, Inc. today announced it will permanently close the Willow Lake Mine near Harrisburg, according to a news release from Peabody Energy posted on the company's Web site.
"The mine has failed to meet acceptable standards for safety, compliance and operating performance, and these ongoing issues make the operations unsustainable," reads the news release.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letters are being provided to approximately 400 employees. Willow Lake sold 2.2 million tons in 2011.
A miner, Chad Meyers, 30, Goreville, was killed in an incident at Willow Lake at about 3 a.m. when he was pinned by a piece of mining equipment he was operating using a remote control, according to Saline County Coroner Jerry Doug Watson. Watson said at the time there had been no witnesses to the incident.
The work at the underground mine had been idled pending investigation.
The Saline County mine, which is located near Equality, about 50 miles east of Carbondale, employs about 460 people.
Whether that incident played a role in the closure is unclear. A call to Peabody Energy spokeswoman Beth Sutton led to a voice mail message indicating the mailbox was full and could not accept messages.
Peabody expects to incur a largely non-cash, one-time charge estimated at $40 to $60 million ($0.10 to $0.15 per share after tax) in the fourth quarter primarily to write off assets, increase asset retirement obligations and accrue severance, according to the release. The company expects little effect on ongoing earnings from the closing.
Peabody shares fell 23 cents to $24.38 in afternoon trading.

Ontario ARC was ready for a leadership transition two years ago, but Ann Scheetz was not.
The longtime associate executive director of community services at Ontario ARC, Scheetz was the organization's pick to take over for Bill Castiglione as executive director.
Castiglione had planned on retiring two years ago, but Scheetz still had her youngest daughter in high school and wanted to devote the time to her family.
So Ontario ARC started a search process for a new leader, but Scheetz made a proposal to Castiglione: Wait two years and she would take over then. After two years of building contacts and learning the position, Scheetz is taking over this month as executive director of Ontario ARC as Castiglione steps down.
Ontario ARC employs some 482 workers and ranked 44th on the Rochester Business Journal's most recent list of private-sector employers. Officially known as NYSARC Inc. Ontario County Chapter, the non-profit organization includes Finger Lakes Bus Service and reported $23.5 million in total revenue for 2010.
The two-year delay was a fruitful time in which Castiglione helped make her transition as easy as possible, Scheetz said.
"Bill had a lot of public contacts that I don't have, so for the past two years he's been introducing me to people and helping me build up my contacts," Scheetz said.
Scheetz also was able to assemble her management team during this time, a mixture of people from within the agency and outside it.
She has gained a strong knowledge of state and federal regulations, Ontario ARC officials noted, and this knowledge has helped shape high-quality programs for about 1,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Ontario County.
"We treat people with dignity and respect," Castiglione said this week when Scheetz was announced as executive director. "It's part of our culture-and a tradition that will continue under the leadership of Ann Scheetz. She has a long history with the agency and is going to be a phenomenal executive director."
Scheetz started with the organization in 1984 and has worked in several different areas within the non-profit organization. Her background now includes experience in all of the agency's core areas-day programs, employment services, family support, teen-to-teen transition and residential and service coordination.
Her experience in services for people with developmental disabilities extends beyond Ontario ARC. Scheetz serves on the boards of the Finger Lakes Workforce Investment Board and NYSARC Inc.'s Collaborative of the Finger Lakes and is a member of the Executive Directors Association of NYSARC.
Scheetz recognizes funding challenges for Ontario ARC and all non-profit organizations within its sector. To thrive, the agency must be able to accentuate its unique aspects, she said.
"We're absolutely going to have less money, so with that in mind I don't think we can continue doing business the same way," she said. "We're going to have to be talking about the agency and letting people know the wonderful things we do.
"You can't just keep doing the same programs that everyone else is doing; you need to distinguish yourself."
Scheetz said she already has some plans for the organization. She is starting a foundation for Ontario ARC and talking with potential donors in an effort to widen the organization's donor base.
Scheetz also plans to bring Project Search, which is already being used in Monroe County, to Ontario ARC. It is a one-year high school transition program for students 18 to 21 with disabilities, providing training and education with the goal of finding competitive employment.
Reflecting the difficult funding landscape, future projects will likely have a larger scale, Scheetz said. The organization is looking at expanding its autism center, turning it into a regional facility that draws resources from throughout the area.
"We would be the base but gather all of the best of the best of the region and offer that support to parents," Scheetz said. "And of course we're looking at partnering with community agencies to survive with this shrinking fiscal environment."
Though the organization will be operating with shrinking resources, Scheetz said she refuses to let that dictate the organization's future.
"There are lots of people out there citing doom and gloom," she said. "We're not going to approach it like that. We're going to focus on how Ontario ARC is innovative and forward-thinking. The situation doesn't really affect the way we're going to treat people or our values. We still put people with disabilities first and always will."

Is there anything you wish for Christmas to be like? Not what goes under the tree, but what goes into Christmas.
Anything you want more or less of?
For instance, I wish to go caroling this year. I haven't been since I was a child.
And I wish my tree looked this fancy, instead of my homemade version...
How about you? Any wishes you want to share?

I want an entire episode of Todd doing Jerry-On-The-Phone
I want an entire episode of Todd doing Jerry-On-The-Phone
"The wisdom and the the spiritual beauty within Roy Jr ... it's just effin sick!"
It seems like Todd creates the perfect environment for people to have fun and be as hilarious as possible.
Holy shit, the ending of the Graham Elwood episode is incredible! So goddamn funny.
That's a true story.
That episode was perfect throughout, so many great bits packed into it.
Katie, can you tell us who will be on the next episode yet?
"The wisdom and the the spiritual beauty within Roy Jr ... it's just effin sick!"
Does anybody know the email address for the show?
TV innit
Does anyone know how I can rename this thread? The all-caps seemed appropriate at the time but it is not aging well
thank you to whomever fixed it, one more thing - could you replace Podcast with Pussy? Too much?

I sent in my comedy bit, but I don't think they liked it.
I finally got around to listening to the Graham Elwood episode. It was so fucking funny. The day Paul F. Tompkins or Andy Daly appear will be the happiest day of my life.
A little behind, just listened to Graham Elwood ep this morning at the gym. I am surprised I didn't get kicked out for laughing so hard. Blake Wexler = Secret Weapon. When I start a podcast that obsesses about this podcast, it will almost certainly be called Coffee for Features.
Todd Glass makes Fridays even more special.
It's Friday, that means there's a new episode!!
I don't think Mike Koman was the argumentative one on that podcast. Not really fair to put it all on him in the intro.
Oh well
Hey we have a Facebook page now! Go "like" it and we will "like" you.
I don't get why Todd keeps stonewalling all of these big stars. It's like he's afraid of success.
"He's as crazy as a soup sandwich." - Patton Oswalt on Wesley Snipes
GARY GULMAN! Can't wait. His first appearance on CaEE was one of the best podcasts ever. (You heard me. Go get it.) Gulman's also on Sklarbro, which will be fun too, but two hours-plus of Gulman with Todd playing games? Something to look forward to this weekend.
