Afternoon Headshots: June 17th

Would you want to wear a t-shirt with the above design from @petbugs13?
Check back tomorrow for our T-Shirt Design Contest Finalsts!
Today at CanucksArmy we looked at the teams need in the middle of their third line, broke down whether or not the Utica Comets represent a long-term solution or a short-term stopgap for the Canucks AHL affiliate franchise and imagined that Canucks might look at a "Team of Rivals" type coaching staff next season.
To find out whether or not Alain Vigneaut smells like the vault, click past the jump.
As former Canucks head-coach Alain Vigneault found out, there's nowhere in the world where you'll find a better golden parachutte than in lower Manhattan. Per Louis Jean, who you might remember first broke the news of Vigneault's firing:
According to source, Alain Vigneault has agreed to 5-year deal w/ #Rangers. Told it's in the $2 Million per year range. #NHL— Louis Jean (@LouisJean_TVA) June 17, 2013
That represents a 200k raise over what Vigneault made last year with the Canucks. Who said it doesn't pay to have your team get swept in the postseason, huh?

From this weekend, Jason Botchford had an excellent take on the prospect of a Tortorella for Vigneault offseason trade between the star crossed, 1994 Stanley Cup rivals the Rangers and the Canucks. [The Province]
Also from this weekend, our thoughts on Alain Vigneault's new job.
The Canucks made the signing of Swedish netminder Joacim Eriksson to a two-year entry level contract (worth the maximum amount allowable according to Jim Jamieson) official today. Tyson Giuriato breaks down Vancouver's asset wealth between the pipes. [Canucks.com]
Brad Ziemer previews the upcoming competition between Eddie Lack and Joacim Eriksson to be Cory Schneider's backup at training camp this fall - all of this of course, assumes that Roberto Luongo is finally, mercifully traded this offseason. Ziemer also gets some choice quotes from Gilman about scouting and acquiring Eriksson, and also chats with Eddie Lack who is spending the summer in Vancouver, and clearly believes his time has come. [Vancouver Sun]
Joacim Eriksson's agent spoke with Rick Dhaliwal of News1130 today, telling him that the Canucks made no guarantees to his client. Also from Dhaliwal, Chris Tanev still hasn't been cleared to skate thanks to his pesky high-ankle sprain, while David Booth (who is battling the same injury) should at least be ready for training camp. Meanwhile Cory Schneider's agent reacted to goaltending coach Rollie Melanson's controversial comments last week with an unequivocal vote of confidence. Schneider's agent is a former National Hockey League goaltender, I might add, so it's fair to say he knows what he's talking about. [@News1130Sports]
Elliotte Friedman reports in his weekly thirty thoughts column that the Canucks are granting John Tortorella a second interview, and will also be interviewing another candidate for a second time this week (believed to be John Stevens). Friedman also quotes Mike Gillis as saying "You better draft centres because it's impossible to get them," which doesn't make sense since Mike Gillis has Zack Kassian on his roster. Maybe this isn't true but I've heard that it's possible to acquire capable young centreman on the trade market in exchange for Zack Kassian... [CBC]
Ben Kuzma drops some interesting insight into the process by which the Canucks parked their AHL affiliate in Utica, New York. [The Province]

hahaha, i can not stop laughing, so cute this slug sage. if it really happens, it will be so so awesome in naruto!!!
BTW, awesome job!
Can we really rule out a Tsunade Slug Sage? I don't think so. Like the other Sannin, I think she will have an incomplete Sage Mode. Both Jiraiya's and Orochimaru's underlings mastered their sage mode(assuming Kabuto has done so..................It might make an Opening for a Sasuke Dragon Sage Mode if Kabuto is incomplete, allowing for a Sakura Slug Sage to complete the trifecta for team 7).
Either ways, either Tsunade has it or she doesn't, but I'm sure that unless the Uchiha Bros. stop the Edo tensei, Tsunade will have to go all out, and, if she has some Sage mode, she'll have to use it to stay alive. Unless, she has to die, in which case, she could finish her story with the Shiki Fuujin.
Tsunade is already a shinobi not to be trifled with! I like how awesome Kishi is making her out to be, stronger than even the Raikage. Sadly, it just so happens that she's facing the beast which is Madara, lol, along with upgrades such as immortality and the real upgrade, which is the attainment of Hashirama's power to add to his own, which is equally as impressive in and of itself.
But back to Sakura, the only thing she needs, is to master the Genesis Rebirth technique, so that she doesn't have to worry about getting killed in battle, and can bring havoc to most opponents without fear of retaliation.
Now that you mention it, I do suspect that Tsunade has the requirements for Mastering Sage Mode. She is part Uzumaki, and has a very large chakra pool, whether it is stored in her forehead gem or not. However, it would be surprising for Her to suddenly bring out Sage Mode now, when she didn't use it before, during the Pain invasion.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise

At home in a classic New England college town.
On USM's residential campus, historic brick buildings dating back to 1878 are mixed in with modern residence halls, classroom buildings, laboratories, studio spaces, the library, student center, and athletic facilities. Spread out on 125 beautiful, tree-lined acres, the Gorham campus draws thousands of students and community members throughout the year for sports events, music and theater performances, volunteer activities, and tours of the USM Arboretum.
Highlights of this traditional, close-knit college living environment include:
Vibrant Campus and Residential Life
- Athletics is an important and exciting part of student life at USM. The Southern Maine Huskies include 23 NCAA Division III teams that compete very successfully — often in post-season play.
- USM's Visual and Performing Arts on the Gorham campus offers exciting and innovative art exhibits at the Art Gallery; a full season of theatre performances in Russell Hall Theatre; as well as concerts, recitals, and music master classes in Corthell Concert Hall.
- There are a variety of housing options and programs in six residence halls on the Gorham campus that will enhance your social and academic experience.
- Living Learning Communities provide students a chance to live with peers that share common interests such as creativity, health and wellness, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), and more.
Well-recognized Academics
- On the Gorham campus, we offer a broad range of academics, many of which offer internships and experiential learning opportunities. Education, Music, Art, Theater, and the STEM disciplines bring together a diverse student body that cultivates an environment of rich and varied thinking. Our USM faculty members are recognized scholars, researchers, and practicing professionals who have earned the highest academic credentials in their fields.
A Focus on Student Success and Learning Commons
- Student Success is a priority at the University of Southern Maine. There are many resources that can assist students as they begin their college experience, which remain available through graduation and beyond.
- USM's libraries offer newly established Learning Commons spaces designed to support active collaborative learning. Students can work with Reference Librarians, tutors, faculty, and each other in this dynamic environment.
Students travel regularly between the Gorham and Portland campuses for classes and campus activities. Just 10 miles east of the Gorham campus, Portland is an easy commute via our free USM shuttle bus. The WiFi equipped shuttle lets students study as they travel — and it saves gas, too.

Valuing the Mindful Intelligence of Work in All Its Forms
I loosely pitched Matthew Crawford, a political philospher who traded in his credentials to run a motorcycle repair shop, as a possible guest for our program several weeks ago after reading "The Case for Working with Your Hands" in The New York Times:
"…mechanical work has required me to cultivate different intellectual habits. Further, habits of mind have an ethical dimension that we don't often think about. Good diagnosis requires attentiveness to the machine, almost a conversation with it, rather than assertiveness, as in the position papers produced on K Street. Cognitive psychologists speak of "metacognition," which is the activity of stepping back and thinking about your own thinking. It is what you do when you stop for a moment in your pursuit of a solution, and wonder whether your understanding of the problem is adequate. The slap of worn-out pistons hitting their cylinders can sound a lot like loose valve tappets, so to be a good mechanic you have to be constantly open to the possibility that you may be mistaken. This is a virtue that is at once cognitive and moral. It seems to develop because the mechanic, if he is the sort who goes on to become good at it, internalizes the healthy functioning of the motorcycle as an object of passionate concern. How else can you explain the elation he gets when he identifies the root cause of some problem?
This active concern for the motorcycle is reinforced by the social aspects of the job. As is the case with many independent mechanics, my business is based entirely on word of mouth. I sometimes barter services with machinists and metal fabricators. This has a very different feel than transactions with money; it situates me in a community. The result is that I really don't want to mess up anybody's motorcycle or charge more than a fair price. You often hear people complain about mechanics and other tradespeople whom they take to be dishonest or incompetent. I am sure this is sometimes justified. But it is also true that the mechanic deals with a large element of chance."
"Sumo Zamboni" by Jean-François Chénier / Flickr
Admittedly, I have a great admiration for women and men who work with their hands and their feet — barbers and electricians, waitresses and bricklayers, potters and linemen. My uncles just knew how to fix farm machinery and build chicken coops and grain silos without a set of drawings. The skill of engine repair I've never quite acquired, but I discovered a love of building and remodeling homes — a latent penchant I never allowed myself to explore until 15 years ago. Thinking back to boyhood, the desire was always there, manifesting itself in constructing wood and log mud dams as the heavy Plains rains flowed down the rounded L-shaped gutters. I thought of it as frivolous play; now I recognize it as new sense of play, and purpose (although I suppose Stuart Brown might take issue with my definition).

There's a value and a spirit in learning from people who don't sit in a cubicle all day, who don't migrate from one meeting room to the next, and live only in words and ideas — much of what I do now and love. I'm not trying to romanticize these professions. Much hard, physically demanding work is involved. But, blue-collar jobs require different approaches to problem-solving, to collaborating, to communicating, to organizing, to tolerating; you do think differently. My many years waiting tables, repairing asphalt cracks with diamond blades and boiling tar, driving a Zamboni machine, cleaning campgrounds, etc. taught me this.

I also know there's a different persuasion of intelligence and honor involved in these pursuits. The character traits these many professionals know and practice are common truths that might help us understand ourselves and the values we hold dear with better insight. Shared ideas of loyalty and honesty, camaraderie and community may lead us to be better workers and spouses, friends and neighbors — for the many truths in this world teach and touch all of us, if we let them. We become a greater society as a result.
Hearing others like Matthew Crawford and Mike Rose (author of The Intelligence of Work) and Barbara Ehrenreich and the late Studs Terkel articulate these many perspectives is worth pursuing. And the first step is evaluating voices, which is where Stephen Colbert's interview comes in. Admittedly, Colbert's interviews are great fun, but sometimes his quick wit and comic interjections aren't the most helpful in deciding if a voice for a long-form public radio show. What do you think? Are there other voices for this type of show you might recommend?

Posted on 02/15/2013 5:26:01 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Barack Obama says 'I wish I'd had a father' as he addresses guns in Chicago
President Barack Obama today urged the young men of America to help tackle gun violence by taking responsibility for raising their sons, using an emotional return to his home city to admit: I wish I'd had a father who was around and involved.
In an unusually personal speech at a school in his old Chicago neighbourhood, Mr Obama, who was raised by his mother, said his attempts to introduce new gun control laws must be matched by more men behaving like role models who are held up in respect by their sons, grandsons and nephews.
There's no more important ingredient for success, nothing that would be more important for us reducing violence than strong, stable families, which means we should do more to promote marriage and encourage fatherhood, said Mr Obama.
Hailing his heroic late mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who gave everything she had to raise me, Mr Obama said in one of the most candid statements of his presidency: At the same time, I wish I had had a father who was around and involved.
Barack Obama senior, a Kenyan economist, divorced Ms Dunham in 1964, three years after the birth of their son. A heavy drinker, he died in a 1982 car accident, 11 years after he last saw Barack junior.

We wish he had had a father, too...
i will.
he had a stepfather, for one thing. more than lots of others did.
not surprising he grew up and is an angry black man destroying the country he blames, not one damn difference between him and the black rob-mobs and feral urban killers we have in this country. only difference'is he grew up with a lot more than they did.
I wish he'd had a mother so he wouldn't have had to endure being raised by his typical white grandmother.
I wish he never had a mother either.
Or his transvestite Indonesian nanny...
No we don't
If he did not have a father (biologically speaking) he wouldn't be here.
You know, hereditary is a strange thing. If your parents did not have kids, it's likely you won't have any either.....
I don't think it would have mattered if he had a father around all the time.
He would not have appreciated a good dad.
Thanks for the belly laugh.
Although a 75% rate of birth into a home without a father is a shame for any culture.
And that is after surviving a 70% rate of abortion.
Yeah, keep voting for them Democrats.
I wish his mother had made a different "choice"....
He was raised by his GRANDMOTHER!
He was raised by a boy-raper.
I thought barky said he was a goat herder?
BTW, I wish you daddy had pulled out.
"...as he addresses guns in Chicago."
I wish he would address GANGS in Chicago.
I thought he wrote a book about his father.
Oh that's right, that was Bill Ayers.
So his excuse for all these street thugs is that they didn't have a father.P>I still can't get over that he used coke and thinks nothing of it. Not a damn moral bone in his body.
He talked about himself in a speech? How unusual ...(rolling eyes)

To misquote Norton (Ed!): "Hello, guns!"
He was raised by white grandparents. Neither parent wanted him.
He had two fathers. One was that super-dark round headed guy who looks nothing like him and never lived with him and then there was the Indonesian step-father.
What a liar AND whiner. I only had one father. Blacks being unfair to whites.
Well, there's your sign.
The Dreams of Bill's Father
Obama is complete filth, rebellious against all that is good...and his father is so proud.
Obama, like his father, does not attract followers...he possesses them (we call it Kool Aid).
Just ask Chris Matthews. Why the irrational devotion to evil?
I thought that Webb Hubbell was his real father?! What's up with that?
Funny... Obamas father and his family back home in Kenya were wishing little Barry got a good dose of coathanger
Yes it is really sad his mother was punished with a baby.
My brother was an only child.
Lolo Soetoro.
He does. He's buried in Kenya where Barry was born.
Oh good god.
What your grandfather who raised you giving you time and the best of everything was chopped liver?
Your mother gave you nothing but stuff until she tired of you and dropped you off with grandma and grandpa.
Not for long.
What a punk *** wigger!
He wishes he had a father and then heads off on a Florida golfing trip while his wife and kids go skiing in Colorado. Nace way to show the love and attention to the kiddies Obozo.
and I bet his two girls wish they had a Father who stayed home and spent some time with them also...
this guy is such a looser...
the point was, he had more than lots of others and he still turned out just as angry and feral. he had a lot of breaks others didn't.
If the bum should have anything it should be a warden.
i wish he had a working conscience.
I would think that the Muslim Indonesians would be really PO's by now over how Barry has deleted his step-dad from his and his mom's life. That would be the oil company manager who enrolled him in school and made sure he learned about Islam and put a roof over his head and his mom's head for at least three of his formative years in Indonesia.
Lolo was also the doting father of Barry's half-sister who is also missing in Barry's "single mom" narrative. His mom was legally single for just one year from 1964 to 1965 before Barry left for college, IIRC!
Later in the speech Barry goes out of his way to praise non-traditional families (single moms, adoptive dads) but pointedly omits step-dads.
i think this is the winner on the thread.
and thanks to his mom being punished with him, now we're all punished with him, too.

Clippers' depth at point guard tested
SACRAMENTO – Eric Bledsoe is healthy enough to laugh with his teammates at the end of a shootaround. He's healthy enough to sit in the locker room pregame and watch film on his iPad.
He's just not healthy enough to play.
Bledsoe has missed the Clippers' past four games, covering a span of nearly two weeks.
Bledsoe said his sore left calf is feeling better, but better isn't good enough to get him back on the floor.
"It's definitely something I couldn't let linger on," he said Tuesday. "I had to rest it at some point before it got worse."
The team's patience with Bledsoe's recovery, though, could be tested. In the first half against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, Chauncey Billups had to leave the game because of a strained right groin muscle. He didn't return to the game.
The injury leaves Maalik Wayns as the only healthy true point guard available to back up Chris Paul. Wayns was re-signed to a second ten-day contract by the team earlier in the day.
The team slid Jamal Crawford over to play point guard minutes briefly in the fourth quarter, though Crawford's not a natural playmaker who the team prefers to play off the ball.
The best scenario would be to have Bledsoe return healthy, playing at the level he did before the All-Star break.
Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro said he hopes to have Bledsoe back sometime over the weekend.
"Bled brings something more unique than anyone else on the team, and that's his speed and athleticism," Crawford said. "When he pushes the ball, it can be a one-man fastbreak."
The Clippers' second unit has had to adjust between Bledsoe and Billups, and now, the group might be forced to adjust again.
With 14 games left in the regular season, the Clippers know getting all their pieces back will be crucial.
"It's the contrast in the styles," Lamar Odom said. "That's what makes us a good team. We have so many different looks."
An in-between pace
Heading into Wednesday's game, Sacramento leads the league in scoring since the All-Star break, prompting Del Negro to talk about slowing things down against the Kings.
"We just have to control the pace of the game with our offense," Del Negro said. "...We have to pick the pace, the tempo that we want."
But what is the pace Del Negro wants? Turns out, it's somewhere right in the middle.
"I don't think we want to just be going up and down all the time. We want to pound it in to Blake (Griffin) when we need to, get certain guys different looks when we half too," he said. "But if we guard the way we need to and create some offense with our defense, with the athleticism we have upfront, we want to use it."
Matt Barnes, who grew up in Sacramento, said he had 28 friends and family members at Tuesday's game. ...Ronny Turiaf missed his second game in a row because of a sore right knee. He and Bledsoe were inactive Tuesday. ...The Clippers return to Staples Center to host the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday.

That's right. When you run as dope a show as mine is, you get to redeclare summer, and nobody bats a motherfucking eye.
This episode, as you probably noticed, is the Summer Mixtape – yet another concept episode. Basically the concept here is a typical summer day – I won't get all nostalgic about summers spent during my middle school years – you know, ice cream, running through sprinklers, and coke binges, you get the idea. One day, one mixtape. Here we go.

"I usually buy my shoes a little bit big because I typically have to put cushioning insoles in them for my arthritic feet. I saw others rated this bootie as running long, so I only ordered 1/2 a size bigger rather than a whole size bigger. Now, even with my insoles in them, they still feel a little big on my feet, so I'm thinking I could have ordered my regular size and been fine with my inserts. Other than that, they are comfortable to walk in, although my heel sometimes feels a little loose. I like my shoes to fit a little snugger around my feet so I don't feel like they might come off at any time, but these don't really give that feel, they just slip a little at the heel. I think that's as much to do with the width as the length."

Cheapy Chic
"The shoe is cute but can look a little cheap if not worn with taste. Like other reviews said it is hard to put on. One rhinestones on the back popped off when I first tried the shoe on but what can I say for the price that was paid. The shoe is more comfy than most flat shoes. The fabric easily stains so be careful. Wouldn't recommend for a friend BUT I do like the shoe and wore them the day they came in the mail."

Almost perfect flat Bootie
"These booties look a little cheap, run very narrow and can be kind of hard to actually get on your feet! BUT they look like you want them to when they are on. The opening looks wide when your foot is already in there, which is the impression they are meant to give. They are not sparkly if you thought/hoped they would be. I used a weather proofing spray on them and wore them in rain without having wet feet. They are ok, I decided to keep them because they looked very casual on. Had I seen these in the actual DSW store, I would of walked right by them."

Leo Becerra and Houman Farahmand
Leo and Houman are best friends, and the conversation between their respective aesthetics is one to eavesdrop. Together's they're an essay on the clean and gritty, the architectural and the organic, the tenderly human and the alien-like. I've encountered the duo many times as fellow night crawlers in New York, and I've long been intrigued by Leo's penchant for vintage volume and skin, and Houman's clean, clean lines.
Leo Becerra, originally from Caracas, is a student at The New School in New York City and people, energy, friends, change, and innovation inspire him.
Houman Farahmand is a buyer for Nasty Gal in Los Angeles. He loves mid/late 70s-80s film, and Woody Allen films, especially. "It's hard for me to go through a film without stopping several times and doing Google searches, and pulling up images based on what I see," says Houman. He also has a penchant for color and texture. He says, "I have and always had an obsession for leather. I love the smell of the leather in old european cars."

I really liked this post! I wanted to be Leo in that second picture <3
Thanks G. Me too! Leo was magical in that second picture.
Love their styles, especially the carefulness/attention to detail. This makes me miss NY so much – I feel like the real New Yorkers in some ways are the transplants
Agreed. A big part of what makes New York City interesting are the people who come and go.
This post is so great! The style contrast is really interesting and cool to see, ugh these pictures are all goals.
I love the cuffs on those green jeans. They're like rough cut, with no hem, but without any fringe at all. I'm curious how that finish is achieved, it's a great, subtle look.
I'm not fully sure either, but I know they're leather and it's highly likely that the hems are raw edged.
Ahhh, fell in love with that vintage motorcycle jacket, and the comme des garçons shoes

The Active Community Engagement (or ACE) requirement provides a framework for learning how to balance academic success with physical, emotional and social well-being, and to become active participants in the life of their communities.
ACE is a tri-part extracurricular program that strives to enhance the Simon's Rock experience by giving students credit for participating in a dynamic and well-rounded environment outside the classroom as well as within it.
The ACE program is designed to facilitate engagement across three separate categories, in the belief that students who lead well-rounded, physically active lives are healthier and more satisfied than those that do not. The categories are as follows: Athletics and Recreation, Health and Wellness, and Participation and Service. Students are asked to complete a number of credits in all areas during each of their first three semesters on campus.
|ACE Categories
|First Semester
|Second Semester
|Third Semester
|Health and Wellness
|Athletic and Recreation
|Participation and Services
Participation on a team, athletics class, dance class, or other school/student sponsored physical activity can meet ACE Athletics and Recreation requirements. All ACE athletics programs are inclusive, open to all regardless of experience.
Programs in the Health and Wellness area will provide students with resources and tools to make more informed decisions regarding public and personal health, both physical and emotional. These lectures, discussions, and activities will not only address prevention but also respond to specific situations. Health and Wellness programs will explore and educate the campus community on issues of health and medical diversity.
The Participation and Service segment of the ACE program can be fulfilled through two avenues. The first is through independent or group volunteer service which does not fulfill an academic or job requirement. The second is through attending lectures or events which directly deal with community issues such as campus or global diversity.
Students with community service hours not set up through the college will still be eligible to receive ACE credit for the hours they have worked. In order to receive credit for hours worked this way, students must notify the ACE Coordinator in advance of their intention to complete their hours in this manner, and submit their supervisor's contact information on organization letterhead. After completion of their service they must also submit to the Coordinator an hourly timesheet signed by their organization's supervisor.
In general, one credit is assigned for one hour of time committed to participation in an activity (excluding travel time), with two exceptions: Athletics and Recreation assigns one credit for full participation in an athletic course throughout the semester to encourage consistent attendance, and lectures and concerts attended under the Participation and Service section of the program receive ½ credit, since participation in those events is considered passive rather than active. Students who complete extra credits in any category will see those credits roll over to the next semester.

Photo Courtsesy Malwack, CC BY-SA. It's the economy, stupid! The final jobs report before the election was issued this morning and the presidential campaigns have already incorporated the findings into their talking points even though the report is unlikely to make a difference with just four days remaining. Employers reported adding 171,000 jobs in October, which was better than expected and better than September (148,000). The unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent, up from 7.8 percent, but the reason behind the increase was that more people counted themselves as looking for work. Disaster Politics. Mitt Romney suspended campaigning on Monday and Tuesday, while Barack Obama didn't return to campaigning until Thursday due to Hurricane Sandy. The hurricane also interrupted early voting efforts in affected states, though not in Ohio. Sandy appears to be benefitting Obama, at least at the margins. According to the latest release of the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll, President Obama received high marks for his response to Hurricane Sandy. Nearly eight in ten likely voters think the President did an "excellent" or "good job" responding to the disaster. And finally climate disruption has entered the race, thanks to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (Independent) who endorsed Obama in an op-ed in the wake of Sandy: The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast — in lost lives, lost homes and lost business — brought the stakes of next Tuesday's presidential election into sharp relief ... Our climate is changing. ... We need leadership from the White House. Obama and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie together surveyed storm-battered New Jersey. Meanwhile, Romney ignored repeated questions from reporters regarding his position on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In a June 2011 CNN debate, Romney agreed that federal disaster response could be curtailed: "Absolutely. Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better." Economic damages inflicted by Hurricane Sandy could reach $50 billion, according to the catastrophic risk modeling company Eqecat. According to the Center for Responsive Politics' new analysis of Federal Election Commission data, this election will likely cost $6 billion. The 2012 election will be the most expensive election in American history, with the cost exceeding the next most expensive election by more than $700 million. Pew Research Center released a new poll of likely voters this week. Here is a breakdown of some of the key findings: 76 percent of Republican and lean Republican voters said they are likely to vote compared with 62 percent of Democrats and lean Democratic voters. 59 percent of the sample said Obama connects better while 31 percent say Romney does. 46 percent say Romney has "new ideas" while 41 percent say the same of Obama. Romney is only losing women by six points (for comparison, McCain lost women by 13 points). 49 percent of Pew's likely voters say Obama will win and 31 percent say Romney will win. Deploying the Big Dog. Bill Clinton, aka the Secretary of Explaining Things, campaigned for Obama in seven states this week, including in Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. Romney has received 11 endorsements from swing state newspapers, while Obama has received eight. According to findings by political scientists, newspaper endorsements tend to matter more in primary campaigns than in general elections. But since we're on the topic of media endorsements, we would also contend that another metric might be social media. As of this afternoon, Mitt Romney has 11,701,872 likes and Barack Obama has 31,666,468 likes on Facebook. On MySpace, Barack Obama has 1,713,615 friends, but Mitt Romney doesn't maintain an official candidate profile. On Twitter, Mitt Romney has 1,654, 981 followers, while Barack Obama has 21, 616,898 followers. Status People, a social media management group, has determined that a substantial proportion of the candidates' Twitter followers are fake (31% of Obama's, 16% of Romney's). Note that the term "fake" is used loosely by Status People to refer to accounts that are completely inactive or duplicates. In addition, an unknown amount of followers are bought through online services--a simple google search yields seven such service providers. Mitt Romney's campaign has come under some last minute fire for an ad that aired in Ohio this week, which claims that President Obama "sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China." CEO of Chrysler, Sergio Marchionne, shut down speculation that the company planned to move production to China in an internal email. Additionally, Greg Martin, a spokesman for General Motors called the ad "cynical campaign politics at its worst." Chrysler is considering expanding to China because of increased demand--shifting output, not production. Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler, has calculated that Romney and Obama were roughly even in their prevarications for much of the campaign. However, in the past few months, Romney has sharply increased his output of falsehoods. In May, Romney's average "Pinocchio" rating from Kessler was 1.97 on a scale of 0 to 4. Obama was at 1.91. Now, Obama is at 2.11 and Romney is at 2.40. In the last days of the race, Ohio appears to be mirroring national polls. The most recent Rasmussen daily tracking poll shows a 49-49 tie. The Obama and Romney campaigns will hold a combined 10 candidate-attended events between now and Tuesday. It is worth noting that the most recent adjusted unemployment rate for September in Ohio is 7.0%, and that Ohio had the second largest decrease in unemployment of any state in that month. Bonus!

Skip to comments.Obama has lost the New York Times editorial board
Posted on 05/22/2013 3:59:40 PM PDT by neverdem
Make no mistake: by criminalizing James Rosen of Fox News for asking government employees to give him information, the Obama administration is suppressing the ability of the press to do its job. It is so egregious that even the New York Times, normally sycophants for Obama, is alarmed. The editorial board today writes:
With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible "co-conspirator" in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news.
And the Times, a member/owner of Associated Press, detects a pattern:
The Rosen case follows other signs that the administration has gone overboard in its zeal to find and muzzle insiders. The Associated Press revealed last week that the government had secretly seized two months' worth of records for telephones used by the agency's staff, partly to determine the source of a leak about a report involving a foiled terrorist plot in Yemen. At least two other major leak investigations are continuing. Six current and former administration officials have been indicted under the old Espionage Act for leaking classified information to the press and public. In 2010, a federal judge in Maryland sentenced a leaker to 20 months in jail while admitting that he was "in the dark as to the kind of documents" involved in the leak or what impact they had on national security...

The Slimes will be back on-board in a day or so.
Wishful thinking (IMHO)
Wait til the next inspirational speech.
Util the NY Slimes calls for Obama's impeachment.... he has not lost them.
Of course they will....same as with Clinton. They called for his resignation knowing there wasn't a chance in hell he would.
"Obama has lost the New York Times editorial board"
That would be like Marx loosing Pravda.
Lost their approval for the proverbial New York Minute. They'll be back to messiah mode before you can say IRS.
When the pretender is finished destroying the Constitution the first victims will be the press. These idiots can't seem to see that.
They agree with the President politically, and have the same enemies.
To think they would turn on their guy is sheer folly.
"Lost their approval for the proverbial New York Minute. Theyll be back to messiah mode before you can say IRS."
You are 100% correct. "As a dog returns to his vomit, so does a fool to his folly"
The Slimes will still support every other radical leftist thing this government does.
Barry has lost nothing. The NYT is still squarely in his camp and will be for likely forever. They are expected to show and voice their disapproval of the heavy-handed tactics of the Marxist in Chief. But they are still 100% behind him.
I guess for the Slimes Obama isn't enough Commie even for them..Obama will be back in their good graces in about a day or two
Well, now. The ole gay lady just figured out the bordello she's been slaving in for all her life is just a bordello.
Tomorrow the New York Slimes will print secret information that puts Covert Operatives lives at risk, but makes Nero looks good which will be released from the white hut.
They will not flinch in doing it either!
Yeah, right.....
The mainstream press is so dishonest, tribal, and idealogical that they will continue to carry all the the water for this adminsitration that Obama wants them to carry.
Make no mistake, the blind loyalty, one sided coverage, and overwhelming bias towards the DNC has continued anabated throughout this entire controvery and will continue into the future.
The Press in America is just as dishonest as ever and will continue to manipulate the facts, distort the truth, and out right lie for the Democratic Party.....no matter what!
The Mainstream Media is, has been, and will continue to be the greatest threat to our freedoms and way of life!
"Obama has lost the New York Times editorial board"
Four and one half years in Obama's pocket versus 15 minutes of irritation?
I think it will take a while longer before that headline becomes reality.
Um - the press is suppressing itself. As far as losing the NYT editorial board, well - for a little while. As soon as the NYT editorial board faces the prospect of a Republican President who is just to the right of Karl Marx, they'll swing back again. I have faith.
It is equally likely that purple monkeys will fly from my rectal cavity and dance the maranga on the nonexistent surface of Hillary Clinton's conscience. The Times wants something. There isn't anything more to it than that.
Must Remember,
NY Slimz was a Hillary-bot. They only came around to the kenyan when they knew the kenyan had money and support to steal the primary away from her.
Make "No Mistake" (thanks for that line Dickey Nixon) that there is a for real internecine struggle within the RATZ party going on right now.
There is MORE turmoil inside that criminal bunch than meets the eye.
He should have had them at his lib scribes confab yesterday at the white house....suck ups rule!
"There is MORE turmoil inside that criminal bunch than meets the eye."
Oh, I would not be at all surprised if the Rats are
starting to sour on their toy-boy.
If not for his half blackness, they would be going ballistic.
I think the effect on Baraq is inconsequential because he's a lame duck already.
My hope is we can combine Scandalgate and Obamacare reaching "full bloom" in 2014 and elect a legislature that can stalemate him to some degree.
You have that right.
He's only "black" when they want him to be.
The Slimes is just spouting off about Odumb@$$, to gain more readers in circulation. than it will resort to being the Appartachik for Obama
It may be a tyranny, but is THEIR tyranny.
The left wingers will be assigned to the nicer gulags.
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly...
The Times editorial board understands that Obama needs to go before he takes down Hillary, the Democratic Party and the IRS with him. They also know that Obama has crossed a line with his treatment of individual reporters. It's not that the Times wants to defend the First Amendment, it's that the Times fears that those methods could be used against them by this or a future administration.
It's a case of rats and a sinking ship. They're getting ready to pull the rug out from under this president to preserve what they've worked for since 1933.
Unless Obama lost his a$$ he hasn't lost them. They are firmly attached.
"The Times wants something. "
I think you have got it. The NYT has been mildly critical at O for not being aggressive enough and their columnists have endorsed the Hush Rush movement. So an open political discussion isn't a Times priority.
Good thing I was not sipping liquid when I read your reply, LOL. Lots of people ignore their conscience, some suppress it...........Hillary murdered hers........
Yeah, 0dumba** will call a meeting and use his community organizing voice to get them in line.
It's just a lovers' spat.
The Ministry of Truth is wandering off the reservation?
It looks like the Neanderthals at the NY Times are worried that it's their ox that might be gored.
A few tepid words of admonition here or there in the press against the Obammunists are pretty meaningless.
The press hammered Nixon day and night incessantly for months. That's what it would take to generate any sort of meaningful public negativity against Hussein, and we all know that no matter what Obama does, that level of attack by the press isn't going to happen. Obama is just doing what good commies always do, and the commie press will basically just lap up whatever their commie wants to do.
With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible "co-conspirator" in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news.One op-ed does not journalism make.
"The Slimes will be back on-board in a day or so."
They may say a few words here and there to salvage a bit of
"journalistic integrity", but they're still in bed with Progressives. (Smoke-filled bedrooms all over the place)
Well, that's the New York Times boys too - all superior attitude - limited skills ( beyond wordsmithing which they really do better than anyone).
Does anyone here think if the IRS had been targeting Gay groups that the New York Times would be deaf to their concerns? For years?
Gimme a break - the New York Times might as well be working for the DNC - and getting paid by them... Who knows, maybe the New York Times does get 'paid' by the DNC with 'insider leaks'...
When the coin of the realm is information bribes aren't in cash... What else could explain their bias? Why would they be willing to throw away their credibility as an objective news operation if they weren't getting anything in return?
Shulman and IRS goons pull confidential dirt on Republicans and 'pass it along' to their team at the New York Times? What's that worth? Ever notice how the MSM never has the inside dirt on Democrats until they're tried, convicted and in prison? Wonder why?
It's impossible to believer the New York Times has any 'principle' beyond "Are we cool or what"
Amazing how attitudes change when their own Ox is being gored!!!
Well... since he likely has their phones tapped, he won't have any problem finding them again.

Love y'all, except those "K"-clone trolls from February.ReplyCancel
LibbyOnAMobile! That one "attorney" who would show up with weird conspiracy theories, and would pimp out her blog. The one who "created" Homicide: Life on the Streets. FYI: the show was actually based on a very good book. I forgot the commenter's name, haven't seen her in awhile.ReplyCancel
@Pip, wasn't that just "M"??? Weird stuff there.ReplyCancel

Too many favs to mention but I'm fond of Aunt Liddy, Sherry, Bruce, and of course the Count.ReplyCancel
Harry Knuckles always makes me laugh. The entire Book Club are some of the loveliest people I've met online. I'd name drop all of you, but the list kept getting longer. I'll add Hammer Girl, AJ and Orvilla since they haven't been name dropped yet and I adore them (and right back atcha Jack Ducky!).ReplyCancel
Also got to give it up for JSierra who's witty and gorgeous.ReplyCancel
Whoever gets it right. RDJ, or whomever hmm is, jk. I love them all. Count, One Eyed C., V.I.P., Lady H, Hollywood Dime, Derek, Sprink, miss Hollywood Dime, there's too many to list. CDAN is my favorite because of all of you. Love reading the comments, some of the.best tea is spilled there.ReplyCancel
Harry if you still read –you see this shit? People like you and you disappeared weeks ago so you should consider coming back!ReplyCancel
I'm terribly insulted. Or something.ReplyCancel
TTM for being so welcoming to all and equally fearless in laying down the law when needed.
VIP for FFF.
FSP for terrifying me with her waffles.
Seven for braininess, smartassed ways and nifty gifs.
The other AVA G lovers… you know who you are
OneEyed Charlie for being a great sensei. (I'm at the eye clinic for the next week. Im at the halfway point. Yeah.)
Countj for fearlessly being every bit of who he presents as.
Derek, my favorite twee one who will marry for money first before settling down with the love of his life, Danny Trejo.
Lady H, wiglet, meanie and the other stalwarts for keeping me amused and always remembering the name of the person., no matter how minor the career.
The only folks I don't care for? The ones with no regard for anything that came before yesterday. The glowingly syncophantic who won't hear one bad thing about their beloved celebrity. And, finally, the girls who love the bad boys but hate their behavior. This mirror is for you: you can't love a bad boy for being a bad boy and then get in a snit when they miss behave.
CDANers, how I do enjoy you.ReplyCancel
You should see her pavlova! Oh wait. Well this is awkwardReplyCancel
You're awesome, ZachReplyCancel

Everyboo is welcome at the book club, you're an awesome addition, jackReplyCancel
^5 GG, and we are so not too old to say that!ReplyCancel
Hey Gweeds. Miss your peeperReplyCancel
Well, I hate yiz all….
I'm only joking, of.course. Over the years there have been several, but Meanie and Sherry have always been extra special to me.
And not forgetting WareCat. The girl gets me.ReplyCancel
Snootches makes me laugh. You're all great though. XReplyCancel
Me. I say what I mean no matter if it's popular opinion or not politically correct. I call a spade a spade and wouldn't kiss ass to any celebrity even if they were sitting right next to me writing me a check as I typed.
This isn't to say that everyone here kisses ass or does the "Entirely TOO PC" thing, but there are a few and that pisses me off. For example, if a celebrity is gay, don't pull out the thesaurus and find the most PC way of saying he like dick in the ass, he's gay. Terms like LBGT just confuse the issue. (Sorry to rant about gay topics, that was just an issue that everyone can understand)
July is a month of rebirth. The year is now more than halfway over and we can begin again. My midyear resolution is to quit being the character "RowdyRodimus" I've created for myself and be Chris from here on out. If you thought Double R could say stuff that would get me kicked off a network show for being insensitive to people you're in for a treat.ReplyCancel
I've got my popcorn ready Chris!ReplyCancel
Don't be insulted @JAS, I would certainly give you the award for best use of HTML tags when formatting your posts!!ReplyCancel
VIP and Lotta Colada make me laugh a lot.ReplyCancel
Thank you to everyone who mentioned me. 2+ years ago, when I was dropping troll bombs and didn't look back to assess the damage, I would have never thought that a pervy sociopath would be so warmly received. Y'alls is sum fucked up peoples 🙂
As for my fave? It would have to be the five foot four fiesty feline, Lola. Aside from the high "SuperStar" praise, she don't take no guff, is a worthy and intellectually engaging opponent for some arguing, and knows just how to push my buttons and light a fire under me. If ever there was a poster I NEED to send me a selfie…..I'd even be happy if it was clothed.
Close second would be Miss Mess/canopener/KymPossible. That loopy betch brings the chaos like no other. From "Enty is my baby daddy" to "Where's my fuckin Amber Tamblyn book" she can turn this site upside down in an instant. I also like it when she engages me in frisky talk.
I greatly miss them two broads. I hope they pop in to say "Hi" during the holiday reveals.ReplyCancel
I've been reading a long time & post sporadically. Commenters come and go. When I start to miss them, it seems like others come in and pick up the slack What I love are the inside jokes. I can't remember her name, but remember…The woman who sent the Cease and Desist letter to Enty and no one knew WTF she was, but she became the default blind answer? "Not now Iron Man"? The CDaN spreadsheet of rankings? There are more, but of course right now they aren't coming to mind.ReplyCancel
@Charis YES. That was so funny. What was that girls name? She was like a wee player on a reality show right?ReplyCancel
I haven't seen him on here for a bit, but one of my faves has always been Peter!ReplyCancel
Yessss! VIP comes through, thank you!!!
@Emily May, aw, thank you! 🙂ReplyCancel

You, my Damnation Damsel, are awesome. Especially as I'm supposed to be at a Slayer show right now. (my man is doing their lights)

@Cam: Only if I get tired and the chick wants to show off her Cowgirl/Reverse Cowgirl skills 😉ReplyCancel
Hate and pity aren't the same, ducks, but if it makes you feel better to think people are obsessed with you, you go, Glen Coco!ReplyCancel
Um, I think we ALL know that I am Wendy's favourite poster, amirite?ReplyCancel
She luuuuuvs you and your svelte body! Ha!ReplyCancel
Who's Wendy Davis? Never heard of her.ReplyCancel

Btw, my avi pic is me when I took my kid to see 1D for her birthday.
Surrounded by 80,000 Directioners. Can you tell how pleased I was?
Months back, when newer than I am now, I shouted out to some of my faves as I was so impressed. But y'all reminded me of ppl I didn't get in, I was sad bcuz y'all were right. And as I was trying to compliment, I ended up feeling bad for the greats that I didn't get in. ARGH !
Everyone is da bomb. I get a little tense at some bitch fests, but it's interesting yet still. So Erinyes I want to stick up for the nice one but I'll eave that to the little feisty beauties on here.
P.s. One Shout-Out to Jordan. He's so stupid I lactually laugh.ReplyCancel
My turn to do that is right around the corner, IJU.
I took my daughter to see Fresh Beat Band twice.
I can do like kid parties but an arena of children? *shudders*
Kids are either in awe of me or terrified of me.
My daughter's friend in preK asked her if I was a vampire.
I will continue to wear black until they make something darker.ReplyCancel

But the peacemaker riding shotgun makes you love me more right?ReplyCancel
No. I am going to be super sweet to one and all just to deny you all the opportunity to have fun hating me. Except I will be mean to the Count so he can have fun.ReplyCancel
Well there was a lot of love in here today! Love it! And I forgot @count although I should be properly beaten for doing so. He's a beautiful mess, that one. I really like a lot of y'all it's hard to name names! I guess I just remember first off the ones who first spoke to me when I started on here. But seriously. You all are a major part of my everyday life lol And @ttm what's this book club deal? Do spill and help me out! I'm intrigued!ReplyCancel
@wendy Honey I don't hate you! Then again this is the first time I've ever spoke to you…so hi!ReplyCancel
It's the Bookie Wook club, I started it a few months ago for book club meets, but this last month we started doing Social posts and just random OT stuff. Now we do a post every morning and some evenings to just visit and do all the OT that irritates some people so. EVERYONE is welcome, but I don't allow any trolling, so I'm afraid Wendy is just noooot allowed. Everyone else, sure!
It is clicky on my profile or:
It really is for everyone and it is so much fun, come see, Court! You don't even have to bring the PeacemakerReplyCancel
I love your waffles boo.ReplyCancel
We love you too, AJ!ReplyCancel
@ttm thank you!! I'll let the peacemaker stay home 😉ReplyCancel
Hey girl!ReplyCancel
Just that tiny bit more, yesReplyCancel
Sniff. .tearing up. Someone remembered me.. thanks boo!!ReplyCancel
@aj you were the pretty one with the wedding pic, right? The one who said ppl told you that you resembled lea Michele and I said you were prettier than she'll ever be. Am I remembering correctly? That girl is a hag. Slap the next person who compares you to her lolReplyCancel
Ohhh @oneeyecharlie. You dreamboat 😉 btw since you're the chef share some recipesReplyCancel
That's actually how I started commenting
Been out of work since October. Hang in there love
Belgium scored again 2-0

@CourtneyD: If you insist, then assume the position. (NSFW) 🙂ReplyCancel
Awe sniff thanks boo. Hope you get a nice sugar baby soon.ReplyCancel
Oh Nooo!!!!
I have a sad kittie story!!!
I've had a cat for almost 13yrs.
When she was a kitten my mom came home & accidentally stepped on the kittie, Lily and broke her foot.
My mom felt horrible & spoiled the shit outta this cat.
It was cute tho seeing a kittie in a cast.
Newaze, today my mom pulled out of the driveway & ran over Lily!!!
My mom is a wreck.
This is not kool!
Shit, WareCat, I'm so so so sorry! (((hugs)))
My sweet Lil Puddin' died a week and half ago, old age. Miss my little booger.ReplyCancel
My condolences WareCat.ReplyCancel
Count, Talks Too Much, Violet, VIP. I couldn't choose just one.ReplyCancel
Oh Ware I am so sorry!!!!ReplyCancel
I heart Seven's big sexy brain and TTM has a bigger heart than any commenter, anywhere. Easy peasy.ReplyCancel
Sorry bout your loss boo!ReplyCancel
I'm always happy to read stuff from VIP, TTM, Violet and Count J (well, I don't know if "happy" describes how I feel after I read Count's comments, but I almost always laugh!) I really used to like Amber and Libby too, and I miss them a lot. Nobody will vote for me, I'm just in and out at the end of the day, but I know sometimes I make people laugh or think and I'm happy with that. Love to all CDAN readers – the best bunch on the 'Net!ReplyCancel
My condolences WareCat. And to you Meanie.
JSierra – Aw, I'm honored to be your CDAN boyfriend, gorgeous.
Hear that all you other CDAN dudes? JSierra picked ME!!!ReplyCancel
So sorry about your kitty, WareCatReplyCancel
This is shitty because someone will feel omitted and slighted but most of the regulars are pretty entertaining. If someone put a gun to my head and limited me to my four favorites I would list Kristen, Seven, the Count, and you have to acknowledge VIP for her expertise at the blinds. I usually bust a gut reading my own comments.ReplyCancel
Somebody should ask Enty who his favorite commenter is.ReplyCancel
One out of however many. Seen no armed, legless players have better batting averages than I seem to have here. Luv to you,too AJReplyCancel
Sandy, I'm just taking a break.
Thanks to Uhhh… and Eros and Scissors and Riven for the mention.
I'll put Count at the top of my favorite posters list – smart guy, good talker and very funny.
Lots of posters that I enjoy reading, just about every body, really.ReplyCancel
@WareCat, that sucks! 🙁 I'm sorry about your kitty, and your poor mom, that is awful!
Here's a hug, boo!ReplyCancel
Awww don't be sad boo! We are now another CDaN couple!
Wooohooo! Must be love connection day here on CDaN! <3
Big hugs to WareCatReplyCancel
I don't ave one particullar favourite. I do, hoever, hage a sift sopt for auntlickys ppor keyboaerd! 🙂ReplyCancel
VIP and the Count rank high, but I love me some Frenchgirl and Aunt LiddyReplyCancel
I think it has a lot to do with names that stick out. Most of the above mentioned comment every day on multiple posts, so their names are easier to recall as people they enjoy. I can think of the obvious who I enjoy but then there are a few who don't post anymore or do so rarely. Rocket Queen, Dia, Barton Fink, Seachica, Pugglewug, DBZee, Em Eye Kay, rejectedcarebear even Tuxedo Cat who I had some disagreements with. Hey peeps, if you see this!ReplyCancel
Don't seem to be able to post through the mobile site. Maybe Entyfuck is cracking down on me.
Anyway, Sandy, I'm just taking a break.
Thanks to Eros and Uhhh… and Scissors and Riven for the mention. There's no money in it for you but you can each have a bite of my reheated roast beef and mashed potatoes with gravy dinner if you get here in the next 3 minutes.
I'll put Count at the top of my favorite posters list. Smart guy, good talker and very funny. Honorable mention to everybody else.ReplyCancel
Anyone add this all up? I want my friggin tiara. (SFW)
@JSierra: I think Tuxedo Cat was my OG H8R.
@Harry: Thank you for the kind words. Enjoy your summer break.ReplyCancel
I'm sorry I missed this today. I mostly skim here but I do have a fondness for Ray Nicolet. And VIP is the MVP.ReplyCancel
I actually answered this yesterday and blogger ate my post. Hugs to SJoy, Meanie, IJU, Fancy and all others who counted me as a fave. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I honestly can say I like almost everyone here and just let the jerks roll by. It's truly amazing what everyone brings to this crazy party. You're just all wonderful and lovely.
Pop some champagne and as the saying goes: if you've got nothing nice to say, sit by me!ReplyCancel
Aww, no way. That's terrible. Big hugs to your poor mam.
I hope yer ok babe.x
I enjoy Henriette and Kels, who we don't see much any more. I like Eros. I also enjoy Hollywood Dime, Lady Heisenberg, VIP, Hmmm and Agent S**t when they show up, as they seem to have inside information. Basically, I like anyone who challenges me and makes me think differently. And the Count is always fun to read, although I imagine he's a middle-class suburban dad who gets his jollies acting like a pervert online.ReplyCancel
@Nutty: Only because I don't have the chance to be pervy in real life enough.ReplyCancel
Oh snap, I missed this. I just got back from the boonies.
Ditto to everything AJ said my sentiments exactly! Also, mad love to AJ. Kisses Riven!
I have to say special thanks to TTM and Ruby Soho (who I miss). Both those ladies made me feel so welcome on CDAN.
Also, where the hell is V? I loved me some her. heheheReplyCancel
Ruby Soho! I was just wondering about her the other day! I hope she's still reading, that awesome ladyReplyCancel
I came from a link from another site but Himmmm is def what brought be back for round 2, and here I still am hahaReplyCancel

Freedom Electric Marine Twin Troller X10 Deluxe Boat
This Item is Drop Shipped. Please See Details Below
The Freedom Electric Marine Twin Troller X10 Deluxe Boat includes all of the winning features of the X10 Basic Boat plus some key upgrades, including a Lowrance X-4 Depth/Fish Finder, adjustable and mountable rod holders, an on-board ProMariner - 5-amp marine battery charger, as well as, four seadog nylon open base cleats and an injection-molded batter box. One of the world's best fishing boats, it was designed by lifetime anglers and is one of the only boats made especially to help you catch more fish.
Equipped with a patented electric propulsion system and hands free foot control, the X10 is powered by two 36lb thrust MotorGuide motors giving you 72lbs total thrust. The independent foot control pedals and corresponding trolling motors allow this two-man fishing boat to move in any direction depending on the amount and type of pressure placed on the foot pedals. Straight forward or straight backwards, you can make 90-degree turns to the left or right, or rotate 360 degrees in one location. If you need to get in a tight spot, or fight the wind and hold your position on a key spot, the X10 is the boat for you. These boats can spin on a dime and have plenty of power. There are no other boats on the market with this type of hands-free control.
The X10′s compact design also allows you to access bodies of water that many other boat designs just can't get to. With its new in-hull motor design, there are no motor props below the boat bottom to hit obstructions, allowing the X10 to operate in as little as 8 inches of water. You can run over logs, fishing line, lily pads, and more! The X10 goes where the big fish go, but other boats can't!
Twin Troller Boats are extremely stable as well due to the pontoon hull design and vacuum effect of the patented propulsion system. Two people can easily stand up and cast. In addition, the construction material used in the boats is actually lighter than an equal amount of water, which makes the boat virtually unsinkable.
From passenger comfort to its unique hull design the Twin Troller offers best in class features and construction. Freedom Electric Marine offers a full 5-year warranty on the X10 hull. The boat is roto-molded using state-of-the art SURPASS polyethylene resin. SURPASS polyethylene, used both for the hull shell and the integral foam core, maintains high impact strength, from summer heat to -40 Degrees. The resin is both lighter and much tougher than fiberglass. It's easy molding characteristics allow the hull to be roto-molded in one piece, complete with features such as equipment trays and cup holders. The hull is free of seams and joints, and wipes clean easily. Color is molded throughout the part, making minor scratches disappear. The hull resin is UV protected for a long outdoor life and can be recycled.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I solved the problem of getting the boat out of the water alone. I bought a 8 foot length of plastic pvc about 2 inches did. Cut it in half. When retrieving the boat place 1 in front of boat as you pull out of water a couple of feet, then place the other piece a few feet behind & pull boat a few more feet. That should get you far enough out of the water to place the boat dolly in behind the boat. I'm 70 yrs. old & I have no problem getting boat in & out of water & in the back of my pickup truck alone.

Comments: I love the Twin Troller.
From: Gerry: Kissimmee, FL 6/19/15
Comments: I've had this boat since Feb 12. When I bought it, I didn't get the trailer... man, what a hustle. Those are some very heavy 175lbs!! Unless you always fishing with a friend and have a pick up, get the trailer. I got me a small jet ski like trailer that I spent a few hours fixing it to fit. Not all the places that I fish have a boat ramp, so I also got a "quick lift boat dolly" and it works great. The cup holders are self-drain but not the deep pockets for your rod reels and it's a little hustle to dry them out but not a big deal. Another not so good, but easy to fix are the cheap (50amp) circuit breakers do get super hot and will quit on you for a few and it was very frustrating until I replaced them with some high quality ones and now I go all day without a single drop. When I email the staff about the problem, they replied with in minutes. Superior customer service! Now the good. I have left the boat our in the rain with the plug still on and it did got full of water and the pedals got fully submerged and they still worked flawlessly. Don't try this at home, I just want to make a point that the pedals are very high quality. That was before I bought a small john-boat cover for it and try to always take the plug out right after fishing. Super comfortable and super stable. I love flipping trees so I mostly flip and pitch so most of the time I'm fishing standing, no problem at all. The cages do a good job keeping weeds off but hydrilla will get in there and clog up you trollins. I think a combination of mesh with the cages would be awesome. This boat is perfect for the area I live because most of the lakes are no gas motor lakes. Not too long ago the fish were super shallow, I'm taking about less than a foot of water. my daughter and I killed them with frogs, while the rest just watched shaking their heads!! we have spent endless hours on this thing and hundreds of fish later I can tell you that it was money well spent. Love this boat.
Comments: Positives are many...foot pedals are convenient for hands free steering. The boat is stable and though you could stand up while fishing I doubt u will find yourself doing much of that. It's a good looking boat. The seats are comfortable but backrest is very upright. My biggest issue with boat is portability. It weighs 175 but that's when empty. It will fit in pickup but getting it out and in water is more of 2 man deal. The wire cages that protect the propellars under the boat means you can't slide around therefore 2 people necessary to lift boat around. If not you will tear off mesh cage. also can knockoff transducer as it's on back side of boat sitting low to water. I bought the dolley but it didn't solve trying to manage boat alone. Yes you can pull boat to water if close by but try pulling it back out of water on return and then getting it back on dolly alone. Then I bought the trailer and have yet to assemble. This means finding a landing of course to launch but for me the whole idea with small boat is portability and not taking boat to a boat ramp. You also have to take out pedals when finished fishing as they say keep them dry and never submerge in water. All in all I've probably got almost $5000 in this rig with trailer/dolly and boat cover. I would rather have a pelican,etc 10 foot boat for around a 1000 though not same quality.
Comments: This is hands down the best 2 man boat money can buy. If you look at the cost of other small water boats they simply can not compare to the Twin Troller X10 for the money. Other small boat manufacturers don't offer any options like the Twin Troller for example: fish finder, live well, trailer, boat cover, 2 built in 36 lb thrust trolling motors, hands free operation and seamless construction. Need I say more? I didn't think so...

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Mine safety symposium part II in Price. Mike Dalpiaz from the United Mine Workers spoke at the conference. He defined what the role of the individual is in safety. He began his career in 1971. He worked for eight years in the mine and then decided to take a new direction in his career and to try to help people. He was elected to the United Mine Workers of America and was the auditor for a time and served as the vice president of Utah, Wyoming and Arizona and is an executive board member. In 1995 he became the International Vice President of the Western United States.
The UMWA also represents bus drivers, teachers, truck drivers and others. Dalpiaz said every place they represent has potential safety problems. Dalpiaz thanked Sen. Mike Dmitrich for his help in mining related issues in the legislature. Dalpiaz said he wished there were more workers represented in the audience attending the mine safety conference. He observed mostly management people here and he said safety must be applied on a personal level.
Dalpiaz stressed the importance of listening to the workers as far as safety is concerned. Workers are nonproductive if they are worried about safety. Workers have an obligation to make sure it's run safely. "If there is a problem then find it and fix it. We don't need threats, but sometimes that happens. Some operators choose production over safety. Some operators don't fix a problem until they're forced to fix it. You have a right to a safe work place. If a person sees something unsafe, they have the right to withdraw. You can't be retaliated against. You have the right to get another individual as a safety representative. You have the right to get the safety committee involved. You have the right to work safely," said Dalpiaz.
He said if the safety problems don't get fixed then call management and then if they still aren't addressed call MSHA and now there is another option. You can call Garth Nielsonat the Utah Office of Coal Mine Safety. Dalpiaz said it is important not to place blame. "We don't want scared workers. I've talked to the families of the Crandall Canyon miners and there was one common thread, they were scared. They were scared of repercussions. That mountain was doing things it have never done before," said Dalpiaz.
Dalpiaz likes to see an open door policy with safety but that is not always the case. It can't be one sided the workers need to help with safety. Safety is the right for all of us. Workers are scared to lose their jobs in this economy. They need the job. They need to listen to the workers. Being macho and proud doesn't help the workers. MSHA is the watch dog and now the state is involved more. Some people say that MSHA nitpicks. They have been sleeping at the switch and we can't allow that to happen. They are our protection. MSHA has been doing some small things and making improvements, and they have many more improvements to make. If people don't do their jobs then other people pay the price for that with their blood.
Dalpiaz compared the enforcement in mining to the fish cops he saw when he was out deer hunting. They were all over and checking stations set up. This state is paying more attention to deer and elk than coal mining. They drive around in fancy trucks and lights. They didn't give Garth the tools he needs, the state of Utah has its priorities wrong. I wonder how much money the fish and game makes? It shouldn't be all about economics. We mine 22-25 million ton of coal a year, that has to be worth something.
Dalpiaz mentioned the anonymous tip line that isn't really anonymous. You have to tell your location and then you aren't anonymous. People are afraid of retaliation. You hear safety over production, but that's not true those are just one liners. Talking to the employees and getting their opinions is free. Check it out, look at their problems and fix them.
Dalpiaz said the workers worry about incidents going in their files. Everything is written up and put in their file. It's a fear factor for employees. Employees also report near misses which employers shouldn't use in a wrong manner. If employees are nervous and always looking over their shoulders, that is unsafe.
Dalpiaz is the mayor of Helper and they tell their employees If you don't feel good about it, then we'll fix it. It is a good policy when they bring something to our attention we praise them. We put a thank you letter in their file and reward them. That works better, that is a morale booster; that works better than punishment. Get together and work as a team. Let's work together to solve the problems, said Dalpiaz.
Garth Nielson said Mike Dalpiaz is on the advisory board of the Utah Coal Mine Safety Office and in their discussions everyone agrees the most important thing is safety.
