Dillon Garcia isn't the best at hide-and-seek, and Paul Varghese doesn't want to talk about "Slumdog Millionaire" anymore.
and, uh, for me, this is cool,
because I've been coming herefor so long, and it's nice
to walk into placesand have people freak out.
I'm not gonna lie.It does something for me.
And I'm walking into McDonald's,and they're losing it.
"What are you doing here?!"
I'm, like... "Hello!
I have one, too."
But now I find myselfabusing the power.
You know, I get to the register,
and they're freaking out,you know.
"Are you Gabriel Iglesias?"
I'm, like, "I don't know.Is the food free?"
"Yes, it is."
And, like, for me,the best hook-up so far,
best hook-up has beenat Disney.
Oh, man, I showed up.
People were giving mefree stuff left and right.
You know, I'm therewith my family,
and they were loving it--free sodas, hats and stuff.
And people kept walking up.
"Can we take a picture?Can we take a picture?"
You know, and I'm not oneof those, you know. I'm not.
I'm not one of those, you know,"No! Get away! Get away!"
Nuh-uh. I didn't get attentionas a kid, so now it's on.
All day, picture, picture,picture, picture, picture.
And seriously, highlight for mewas watching two kids
walk past Disney charactersto get to me.
Oh, and they were hating.They were hating!
I could hear 'em, too.
(high-pitched laughing):Bull... Son of a... mother...
Whatever, dude.
All day, picture,picture, picture,
and all it took was one kid,one to crush me.
Yeah, just humbled youreally quick.
You know, he walked up to me,he's all, you know,
"Oh, my God,I just saw you on TV!
Oh, can I take a picture?""Let's do it, bro."
"Oh, my God, this is so cool.This is so cool.
"I can't wait to tell my dad
I took a picture with the guythat repossesses cars."
(applause and cheering)
(cheering and applause)
(applause, cheeringand whistling)
Ladies and gentlemen,from Operation Repo,
the star, Mr. Lou Pizarro.
Hey, what's up?
(applause, cheeringand whistling)
Hell, yeah.
No hombre, dude.
You look like you've beenrepossessing quesadillas, bro.
We are here, you guys. I am soexcited to be doing this show.
I've been giventhis opportunity,
and I want to share itwith as many
of my personal friendsthat are comics.
And it's gonna be a good time,you guys.
And it was a really big fightwith the network
to come upwith a title for the show.
'Cause when they find out,you know, it was me,
and that I was gonna have a fewof my "amigos" on the show,
automatically, they triedto put a catchy name for it.
Anytime comedy clubs, networks,theaters get together,
and there's morethan one minority on a show,
they always wantto put a catchy name.
You know, for as long asI've been performing in Arizona,
anytime I do a show and there'smore than three Latinos,
forget it.
Latino night, Hispanic night.
You know, Mojado Monday,or Taco Tuesday,
or Wetback Wednesday,or Tortilla Thursday,
of Fiesta Friday,or Sábado Gigante!
But they do that to everybody.
That happensto African-Americans, as well.
They'll call the showUrban Night, Apollo Night,
Def Jam Comedy Night,
but that's as faras they'll take it.
They won't take it to the nextlevel like they will for us,
'cause you know, there's peoplefighting for black rights.
We don't have anyone.We got Repo.
And he's got his own agenda,you know?
I guarantee you,
my African-American brothersand sisters,
you will never seea Malt Liquor Monday.
Or Tupac Tuesdayor Watermelon Wednesday, or...
♪ Tong-ta, tong-tong Thursday.
Or Fried Chicken Friday,or Suki Suki Saturday,
or Slap-a-Ho Sunday.
(applause and cheering)
Uh-uh. And that most definitelywould never happen to rednecks.
(laughter and groaning)
He got quiet.(laughter)
I'm gonna do the joke.
'Cause it'll never happen.
You'll never hearof a Monster Truck Monday,
or a Trailer Park Tuesday,or White Trash Wednesday,
or Take-Your-Sister-OutThursday, you know.
Look it. Look it. Look it.
"Oh, hell, no, Fluffy!
"You done crossed a line now.
"I'm from Apache Junction.
We don't play that!"
Hey, what up, ladies? Hey.
What's up?You like that right there?
It's real.
You know what they say.
Once you go chubby, you wantto make him your hubby, right?
Once you sleep with fatty,you're gonna call him Daddy.
It's the rules.
It's good, though, man.
It's real good to be out here.
Got a bunch of guys who wearclothes that fit them.
'Cause I'm from Hollywood.
All I see is grown menwearing skinny jeans.
And I try to fit into the crowd,
but I don't fit into the jeans.
Women are ridiculous.
I love you, but you're crazy.
You guys sure dosome crazy things.
A girl will get with youand leave you
for the exact same reason,you know that?
Like, with me,I'm a comedian.
Girls get with mebecause I'm a comedian,
and then they leave me becauseeverything's a joke to me.
Hey, come on, baby,you didn't see that coming?
And I'm young,
but I feel old--you guys ever get that feeling?
(audience agreeing)I can only imaginehow you feel,
but I feel that way sometimes.
I mean, come on,look at Martin--
he's sitting down already,he's not even standing up.
(laughter, whooping, applause)
Sarge in the house.
It's good, though, man.I want to go back to the days
where you had no worries, man.
Where you didn't haveto worry about no bills,
you didn't have to worryabout none of that.
Where you're just playingstreet games with your friends,
like hide-and-seek--you guys remember hide-and-seek?
(audience shouts)Man, I usedto hide behind things
that I couldn't fit behind.
I'm standing behinda mailbox or a telephone pole
just chillin'.
(laughter continues)
(quietly):Hey, fool, where's he at?
(whooping, applause)
I love you guys.
We used to play freeze tag, too.
You guys remember freeze tag?
black women always so busy?
For real, they're always going,
"Man, I ain't got timefor this (bleep)."
Baby, you're at a bus stop.
You got a little bitof time for me.
I wish I had, like, a...like, a designated black person
to follow me around to saythe stuff I wantto say...
but I can't.
'Cause black people don't havefilters, they just say it.
Can you imagine that?
Like, I'm breaking upwith a girl.
"You know what, baby, uh,
"economy's gettingreal tough right now.
"I just, it's gettingreal hard for me, I just...
I just can't do it,"and the black guy
comes out of nowhere,he's, like,
"Bitch, you ugly.
"That's whathe was trying to say.
But he ain't black."
Last thing, man--you guys all know
black people always talklike they're putting on lotion?
You know that, right? They go,"Hey, man, you remember that
"we was talking about last week,player, remember what we
"was talking about?We're fittin' do it really big,
"homie-- I ain't messingwith you no more, cuz.
(cheering, whooping)"Come on, now.
Hey, come on, man."
don't think all of a suddenyou can relate to me,
like we have this... likewe have this magical connection.
I get this, literally, oncea week for the last three years.
"Oh, my God, you're Indian?
Have you seen Slumdog Millionaire?"
(laughter)And that's wrong,
'cause you wouldn't do itto anybody else.
"Oh, my God, you're black? Haveyou seen Big Momma's House?"
"Oh, my God,you are so damn ugly--
have you seen Shrek?"
"Oh, my God,you only have one leg.
Have you seen Footloose?"
The last time I flew,I actually had
a guy tap me on my shoulderand he yelled at me.
He told me to turn my iPod off'cause it was too loud.
Yelled at me in frontof all the passengers.
Turned around,it was a black guy.
He was doing the thing
that some black guys have doneto me in the past.
They think since I'm not black,
they can be aggressiveand yell at me,
and I'll be scaredand intimidated and back off,
but I wasn't scaredand I didn't back off.
You know why?
Black guys are intimidatingon the ground.
I'm a brown man on a plane;this is where I intimidate.
Like the,like the sky is my hood.
my whole life.
I am-- nobody ever believesI'm Christian
'cause I look like this.
I'm not a good Christian,though.
I'm not going to Heaven.
Based off today's performance,not going.
This morningI tried to read the Bible,
fell asleep three verses in.
I was out.
That book is boring.
You know how you knowthe Bible's boring?
It's the only book ever writtenthat they've made movies out of,
like Passion of the Christand The Ten Commandments,
and not once has anybodyever said, "Dude,
the book was way betterthan the movie."
My friend's a Jehovah's Witness.
He got all pissed at me'cause he tried to tell me
a knock-knock jokeand I ignored him.
(cheering and applause)Um...
I should've openedwith that joke.
Feeling old, people.
I finally realized why--I-I think I'm young.
I realizedthat I'm not young today.
Okay, I have a cousinin the seventh grade
who gave me his school picture.
He looked amazing.
You know how they takeschool pictures
in the seventh grade now?
They bring in a digital camera,
they take ten shotsof every single kid,
the kid gets to run aroundto the back of the camera
right there, pick which onehe wants, and then out the door.
Anybody remember how stressfulour picture day was?
It wasn't ten shots,it was what?
Thank you guys very much, y'all.
Thank you very much,I appreciate it, guys.
Thank you.

Junior Mints
Item #: 5184
Junior Mints Deluxe Dark Chocolate Mints - 72 / Box$22.38
Junior Mints might have junior in their name but they are a candy with a MAJORLY delicious chocolate and mint taste which has been imitated but, fortunately, never surpassed.
First introduced in 1949, the origin of the name has long been a part of candy lore. The name pays tribute to a now long forgotten Broadway show which was popular in the 1940's. Their real claim to fame is the amount of Junior Mints produced daily which, according to Tootsie Rolls, is approximately 15,000,000 (yes, that's million) per day! One can only imagine how long they would be if placed side by side.
The classic Junior Mint is a combination of pure dark chocolate enrobing – we love this word – a rich mint center. We also carry Deluxe Junior Mints which offer the same great flavor in unique packaging similar to a Cella Cherry as well as fun size packages which are great for Halloween but can be easily enjoyed 364 other days of year.
Despite the obviously delicious qualiity of these candies, please be forewarned that they are fragile so we encourage you to purchase an ice pack or two to protect your purchase if you are shipping into a warm area.

Still Water Characteristics
Wind Direction and Drift Lines 149
Each lake is unique. Most of a lake's water is barren because its fish seek specific areas to reside. Perhaps only ten percent of a lake has fish, leaving the remainder uninhabited. The following are likely physical structures which attract fish: shallows, weed beds, drop-offs, channels, shoals, cliffs, and inlet/outlet areas. Each will be discussed.

Information Technology
Hi, I am Dr. Rob Rennie, Vice President, Technology & Chief Information Officer (CIO) for Southern. I have been here since July 2014 and have been busy working with our talented staff to create a next generation technology environment.
One of our biggest projects has been the complete replacement of the university network. This project will be completed prior to the beginning of the fall term. It includes the replacement of the core and edge network (the hundreds of routers, switches, and firewalls that connect us to the outside world and route traffic), the connections to the Internet and Internet 2, replacement of all of the university wireless [rewiring and replacement of over 700 access points (the wireless antennae that allow devices to connect)], and segregation and replacement of the entire residence hall network with our partner Comcast.
Another major project is the implementation of SailPoint for identity and account management. This will significantly improve the account creation and management process as well as provide a better user experience. Look for communications regarding changes to the log in process and note that the implementation will take a while before it is complete and in its ideal form. We are also busy trying to upgrade the technology in over 30 classrooms.
My goal as CIO is to provide the best possible technology environment for students, staff, and faculty. There are challenges in resources: money, time, and staff but we are making good progress. You should already have much improved customer service and network access-which will continue to improve. Soon there will be the first round of improvements in registration and similar systems (with a long way yet to go), we are rebuilding the university web, and not too far off some significant new mobile solutions will be coming to Southern.
If you have any questions, concerns, or want to share your views, please feel free to reach out to us through the Help Desk, we really need your input.

Skip to comments.Love hurts: Man arrested for releasing helium balloon with his girlfriend
Posted on 02/28/2013 6:19:22 AM PST by ConservativeStatement
Anthony Brasfield saw romance when he released a dozen heart-shaped balloons into the sky over Dania Beach with his sweetie. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper saw a felony.
Brasfield, 40, and his girlfriend, Shaquina Baxter, were in the parking lot of the Motel 6 on Dania Beach Boulevard when he released the shiny red and silver mylar balloons and watched them float away Sunday morning.
(Excerpt) Read more at sun-sentinel.com ...
Felony? Barred from gun ownership for life. Because of releasing mylar helium balloons. Yep, we've got to enforce the gun laws already on the books.
wtf?? environmental crime??
Brasfield was charged with polluting to harm humans, animals, plants, etc. under the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act.
polluting to harm humans? don't you have to show the harm before charging someone with the act? doesn't there have to be actual harm?
"Man arrested for releasing helium balloon with his girlfriend"
Did she have a good flight?
That was the first thing I noted; felony charges for letting go of a set of balloons because it MIGHT impact some environmentally sensitive area. These are the thousand cuts that every day deny a citizen the right to bear arms. A law intended to prevent chemical dumping into the swamps is instead used to prosecute an innocent gesture.
My thoughts exactly.
I figgered he tied said girlfirend to a big ol' helium balloon and....
Away they went.
Hello? I've been calling for balloon registration for years. Maybe now people will wake up to the dangers...
Not all, but many and a growing number of law enforcement agencies are becoming hyper-vigilant and treating law abiding citizens as suspects or terrorist.
This is nonsense and should never have happened. The FHP trooper should be reprimanded.
The increasing criminalization of all sorts of infractions (and increasing infringements on firearms and explosives) makes it much easier for the BATFE to follow you around until you commit a felony and then they can come and grab your guns.
For real, good thing they weren't talking like Donald Duck when he walked up. They could have had a DUI charge slapped on them too.
Man arrested for releasing helium balloon with his girlfriend
Did she have a good flight?"
Did she put up a fight?
That will never see the inside of a court room.
I once released some helium balloons after a party and was later told I should not have done that as it was restricted airspace (general aviation airport just up the street).
I can see a problem if these Mylar balloons were released near an airport and messed up the radar, but when did littering become a felony?
This is a crime but threatening at a voting place was not? (Black Panthers)
Military-style assault balloons have no legitimate sporting purpose.
Another power hungry midget megalomaniac with a badge. This arrest should serve as disqualification to wear a badge. I doubt it though.
What about all the balloons released during sporting events? Football games in Florida, half time shows, the Daytona 500? How come all the promoters there were not arrested?
In California, even some misdemeanors get you barred for life. At least that's one of the latest gun control laws proposed by a few lawmakers in Sacramento.
And if you are charged with one of the prohibited misdemeanors, they confiscate all your previously purchased guns, even if they were purchased legally. IIRC, some of the misdemeanors mentioned were "a history of aggressive driving," littering and jaywalking (demonstrating a contempt of the law?).
It's a feeding frenzy. The b******s are falling all over each other, trying to outdo one another.
This reminds me of my husband's littering citation. For years the game department was gunning for him, granted he had some crazy friends but he never broke the rules.
His friends had gone up before him and put a note in a wine bottle by a gate telling where camp was, since others were still to come my husband read the note and put it back. Yep, he got littering ticket. He paid that one, it was 10 bucks.
Then there was a time when we were fishing and didn't think anything of the date, well the old license ended on Sat and the new one began on Sun, we just brought our new licenses though we had old ones, yep, he got a ticket, the magistrate in that county was furious and it was dismissed.
Then there was the time when the same guy went to their camp when only the children were there and made them allow him to search the whole camp. He decided the beard on the turky they had killed was too short and cited my husband and the guy who had shot the turkey but not the rich guy who was with them. He confiscated their guns and it was a good thing they were in the rich guy's vehicle.
They went to court, the judge dismissed the charges and told the ranger to give them back their guns, I don't remember what my husband said but it even made the judge laugh and the ranger was about to explode, he finally decided to leave my husband alone.
Every frog in the pot is going to be made a felon if they dare to jump out, so might as well lose your virginity and jump.
99 Red Balloons!
Shiny Badge Derangement Syndrome
Welcome to the police state, where any act is a felony, & those convicted are just one level above slaves.
No doubt, with a string of these types of arrests under his belt, the officer will be Policeman of the Year. But hey, he is bound to enforce ALL of the laws, & felonious balloon releasers are far less likely to pull a gun when confronted, although he may have to shoot the family dog.
He needs to take this to court and demand the prosecutor produce the evidence. I'm pretty sure the balloons went quite far and were not recovered.
Yet another load of horse sh*t from yet another over-zealous cop.
Don't these morons have anything valuable to do with their time?
No they have nothing better to do. It is easier and safer to harass normal citizens that it is to take on real criminals. It is no longer to protect and serve it is now harass and collect revenue.
He needs to take this to court and demand the prosecutor produce the evidence.
I thought the same thing. Another question: If you throw some litter from one state and it lands in another, where does the littering occur?
The cop wasn't over-zealous but following the law. It's against the law to release balloons in many states. Even against the law in Texas. Sure, it's a ridiculous law but a law none the less.
Interstate trafficking? Dude, you're going to spend some quality time in Club Fed.
This is very close to Ft Lauderdale airport. But, yes, this shouldn't be a felony. One possible scenario is the cop intended to give a warning, but the balloon releaser decided to mouth off.
Yeah, I was picturing him sending her up in some kind of home made blimp, until I got to the details of the story. Glad to see I was not the only one confused by how that was worded.
Good thing Nena doesn't live in Dania.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk.
This will not be tolerated! Laws banning balloons must be drawn up now!
A great many things are "against the law" these days - it's up to cops to prioritize their time and efforts and not to enforce stupidity.
And this was egregious stupidity.
I stand by my post.

In 1962, future Pulitzer Prize–winning author Alex Haley sat down with jazz musician Miles Davis for what would become an institution of American journalism—the Playboy Interview. To celebrate the Interview's 50th anniversary, Playboy has culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon's Kindle Direct platform. Here, a glimpse at our conversation with Microsoft business magnate Bill Gates from the July 1994 issue.
"If I think something's a waste of time or inappropriate I don't wait to point it out. I say it right away. It's real time. So you might hear me say "That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard" many times during a meeting."
"The Wallet PC is something you can carry in your pocket. It's a futuristic device unlike today's personal digital assistants. Instead of using keys to enter your house, the Wallet PC identifies that you're allowed to go into a certain door and it happens electronically. Instead of having tickets to the theater, your Wallet PC will digitally prove that you paid. When you want to board a plane, instead of showing your tickets to 29 people, you just use this. You have digital certificates. Digital money. It has a global positioning thing in it, so you can see a map of where you are and where you might want to go. It's our vision of the small, portable PC of, say, five years from now."
"Fear should guide you, but it should be latent. I have some latent fear. I consider failure on a regular basis."
"As there is progress, which is partly advances in technology, in a certain sense the world gets richer. That is, the things we do that use a lot of resources and time can be done more efficiently. So people wonder, Will there be jobs? Will there be things to do? Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do. And as society gets richer, we can choose to allocate the resources in a way that gives people the incentive to go out and do those unfinished jobs."
"Married life is a simpler life. Who I spend my time with is established in advance."

I'm glad I check this board frequently, as I just noticed some good advice/questions from "More" to a request I made several weeks ago about which ejector pump to buy. PLEASE, contact me off-board as you bring up some good points. In brief, I'm willing & eager to buy commercial grade, assuming it's less than $500. I have a "standard" ejection pit-probably 24-30" across, with 2" PVC piping & venting. I need quietness as the pump sometimes shakes the whole house (the overhead piping system isn't anchored well, if at all-I'll be fixing that when I change the pump). What kind of float switch is best, float-on-shaft mechanical (like my Zoeller sump pump), or the "floppy" (mercury?) switch? I've never heard of soft-start options or microprocessor controls, who offers 'em & how do they effect performance & longevity? I want the BEST pump, not necessarily the biggest, that can handle a master bath, washer & utility sink. I don't want to change the current pipe size, nor do I think I need to, so what horsepower rating do you suggest? I'll check out the Gould pumps you mention, but Terry's board just highlights a few toilet/ejector "combos", it doesn't have any kind of pump comparisons. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shopping for a new oven or stove can be a daunting experience. Gone are the days when stoves came in two options: a gas stove with a gas oven attached or an electric stove with an electric oven attached. You will likely find yourself inundated with options and a slew of new vocabulary to learn. And while all of those new options might seem overwhelming at first, in most cases, they mean great things for you in terms of accessibility, usability, and overall quality. We hope that this buying guide will give you all of the information you need to be comfortable in your shopping and, ultimately, your purchase.
Three rules for buying a stove and/or oven
1. Know your needs
Do you bake a lot? Do you need double wall ovens, dual range ovens, or a single oven? These are important questions to have in your back pocket before shopping for a stove and oven, as they will enable you to narrow the selection significantly.
2. Consider variety
Many manufacturers offer multiple stovetop and oven combinations to fit your specific, practical needs. For example, you may be interested in new ranges that include two smaller ovens. Or, you may want to consider dual-fuel ranges, which give you both the benefits of a gas stove and the temperature precision of an electric oven.
3. Know your budget
Shopping for a stove and/or oven is a lot like shopping for a wedding dress - don't try on the $10,000 dress if you're not willing or able to spend that much. Set your budget from the beginning and keep in mind that many retailers have sales, particularly around holiday weekends. We recommend subscribing to emails from Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, and Best Buy. Doing so gives you access to emailed coupons, as well as the dates of sales and presales, both in-store and online.
Types of stoves
Stove designs fall into two basic configurations: a cooktop with a separate wall or counter-mounted oven, or a freestanding range that includes both the oven and the cooktop in one integrated unit.
$469 to $3,149
Gas stoves have long been valued for the uniformity of their heat output. An open flame surrounds the bottom of your cookware, evenly distributing the heat around it. This heat output is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units) and the range varies from stove to stove, and from burner to burner, generally falling between 5,000 BTUs for low heat on a small burner and 17,000 BTUs for high heat on a large burner.
In addition to even cooking, in states where natural gas is very affordable, gas stoves are popular for their economy. Gas stoves also don't require electricity for their core cooking functions, so you can still use them in the event of a power outage.
Electric smoothtop (Glass-ceramic cooktop)
$549 to $3,599
Many consumers are drawn to the sleek, shiny appearance of smooth cooktops. Rather than separate coiled burners, these cooktops are made of completely smooth glass-ceramic cooking surfaces. The heating units, usually in a traditional four-burner layout, sit under the surface. A built-in sensor lets you know when a burner is still hot. This is important with smoothtop cooking surfaces - if the heat is on very low, the burner does not always turn red. The downside to this cooktop is that is is prone to scratching and limits the kind of cookware you can use.
Cast iron is never appropriate, nor is stoneware or glass. If you do buy one of these cooktops, it is important to place your cookware on the stovetop. Never drag it into place or it will cause scratches. It is also important to never let your cookware "boil dry" on a smoothtop stove, as overheated metal can bond with the glass. You may love the sleek look of the glass-ceramic cooktop, which is easy to clean with a solution that can be purchased at almost any hardware store or supermarket. If you live in an older house or are unsure about the wiring in your home, you might want to look into the minimum circuit rating. Many cooktops require 50 amps while certain houses are only wired to support 30. If in doubt, double check.
Electric coil
$399 to $1,649
The electric coil stove heats cookware by converting the electricity running into the coil into heat using conductible metals. These stoves contain thermostat sensors which notify you when a burner is on, but not necessarily whether it is still hot. Some people prefer them to gas stoves because there is no risk of a gas leak. Electric stoves also have no open flame, reducing the risk of a kitchen fire. Electric coil stoves are, however, notorious for uneven cooking. In many cases, this is due to uneven distribution of the coil. In short, it is hard to keep the coil perfectly level, which can make all of the food in the pan slide to one side. In addition, electric coil stoves are slow to heat and slow to cool. But you may prefer this stove because of its affordable price point and simplicity.
Induction cooktops
$1,699 to $2,999
With traditional cooking, the stove top applies either an open flame or electric heat to the bottom of your cookware. This causes the heat to transfer more or less throughout the piece of cookware. We say "more or less," because electric stoves are notorious for uneven heating, mostly because it is difficult to keep the coils perfectly level. But with induction cooking, the cooking vessel itself becomes the heat source. This works via an element just below the surface of the cooktop that creates a magnetic field. When you place a piece of cookware containing iron on top of that magnetic element, it causes a vibration of sorts, which, through a series of magnetic interactions with the highly resistant iron, is converted into heat.
This is fascinating technology for a lot of reasons. First, the induction top will only heat the area in direct contact with the cookware, meaning that any surrounding cooktop surface will remain completely cool to the touch. Second, due to the fact that this heating reaction happens on a molecular level, cookware, and thereby its contents, can be heated very, very quickly while still allowing allowing precise temperature control.
If you're curious about cost of operation, induction cooktops are the most efficient, costing the least to operate due to the direct nature of their heat delivery. With traditional cooking tops, energy is first converted into heat and then transferred into the cookware. With an induction cooktop, the energy is directly applied to the cookware, which becomes the heating element.
$1,259 to $9,880
Commercial-style stoves are gas powered ranges and generally include 8 or more burners. They are therefore appealing to people who cook either large volumes of food or require several burners for simultaneous cooking projects. With very few exceptions, they are not designed to fit into a traditional kitchen. If this is a stove you're wanting, you will likely need to rebuild your cabinet space if a large area is not already available. They require a one-inch gas hookup. (Standard residential gas hookups are » inch.)
Additional cooktop features
Updated touch pads/screens
Many cooktops now have done completely away with dials or knobs and allow you, instead, to control the temperature through touch pads or screens. Some of the newer models of stoves and cooktops have "disappearing" touch screens. When you press the screen, all of the options and buttons become visible, but then disappear after a small period of idle time, leaving behind a smooth, elegant surface.
Downdraft cooktop (gas and electric)
Cooking creates steam. That steam can damage your kitchen over time if your range is located under a close cabinet or low ceiling. Cooktops with downdraft capability feature exhaust ventilation, set down in the cooktop itself, drawing the steam downward and out through a vent before it can rise above the cooktop. In addition to collecting steam, this ventilation can remove cooking odors from the kitchen. When shopping for a stove or range, it is important to look at your complete kitchen layout. Traditional oven hoods and over-the-range microwaves also solve the ventilation problem. If you have neither, a down draft cooktop might be a good solution.
Types of ovens
As with cooktops, you will find a couple of options when it comes to buying an oven. It's important to assess your needs, both special and practical, before beginning to shop. Oven designs fall into two basic configurations: single or stacked double ovens which are built into the wall, or oven as part of a freestanding range that includes both the oven and cooktop in one integrated unit.
$999 to $1,349
Gas ovens are powered by the same gas as are stoves. They feature electronic igniters. You will find them as part of a freestanding range, as single wall ovens, or, though rare, in double wall ovens. Typical complaints about gas ovens are that they do not maintain a consistent temperature and, therefore, cook food unevenly. You should keep in mind that while almost all homes are equipped with electrical hookups for stove and ovens, often gas oven hookups do not come standard. This means that if your house does not have the hookup in place, you will need to pay to have one installed. Gas ovens are available in both traditional and convection varieties.
$849 to $4,699
Electric ovens cook food through the radiation of heat from a heating element that is either visible on the top or bottom of the oven, or hidden. The heat waves created by this heating element bounce off of the metal walls of the oven and cook the food contents. Electric ovens have the reputation of much more even temperature and cooking that gas ovens. They are easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to find. Electric ovens are available in both traditional and convection varieties.
Dual fuel
$1,999 to $9,599
In many freestanding ranges fueled by gas alone, some consumers complain of uneven heating in the oven. Electric ovens have a better reputation than gas-powered ovens in terms of even cooking. Many consumers want to be able to cook with gas on the stove, but also enjoy the benefits of an electric oven. Manufacturers have provided a solution to this problem by developing dual fuel ranges, which run the stovetop off of gas, and the ovens with electricity. These ovens are available in both traditional and convection varieties.
$1,249 to $3,699
Conventional ovens use a coiled heating element and rely on the radiation of those heat waves around and off the sides of the oven to cook food. In some ovens, this can lead to uneven heating and "hot spots." Convection ovens, on the other hand, use fans to circulate the hot air inside the oven so that it is distributed more evenly and, therefore, food receives the same amount of heat no matter its position in the oven. Many bakers prefer convection ovens, citing the fact that their baked goods are more evenly cooked throughout and across. A good example is cookies - with convection cooking, the cookies on the far edges of the pan should not be more done than the ones on the interior. They will cook faster, but much more evenly.
Dual conventional/convection
Ovens which can function as either conventional or convection at the touch of a button do everything their name suggests. They enable you to select what you will be doing with the oven and what setting you want to use. Examples include separate Bake and Convection Bake settings. It's the best of both worlds.
Let's talk oven space
Most single wall ovens have a volume of 3.1 cubic-feet, whereas most range ovens have a volume of between 4.2 and 4.8 cubic feet, generally. If you're a casual cook preparing simple meals a few times a week, the standard smaller oven is probably just fine for you. If you're an avid baker, or if you regularly cook for large groups of people, you might consider a larger oven or dual ovens. The following chart is a good rule of thumb. Generally, larger ovens will be more expensive. You obviously also need the corresponding amount of space in your kitchen.
One to two people: 2 to 3 cubic feet
Three to four people: 3 to 4 cubic feet
Four or more people: 4-plus cubic feet
Standard oven features
Multiple, adjustable racks
Standard ovens come with at least two racks inside of them, sometimes three. The racks can be moved to different heights within the oven and those not in use can be removed altogether to make room for larger items.
Door lock
Ovens come standard with a door lock to be used when the oven is being cleaned. Self-cleaning ovens, in many cases, heat to very high temperatures. The door lock prevents the door from being opened during the cleaning cycle, preventing burn injuries.
All modern ovens include a broil feature, which applies very high heat closely over the food. It functions, essentially, as an upside-down grill. To use a traditional broiler, the top rack is moved as close to the broiler as possible. It is a very quick cooking method and as such, you must watch the food carefully and often. Most broilers require the oven door to be cracked an inch or so.
Ovens come standard with a window in the door, so that you can look into the oven to check on the cooking progress of your meal without opening the oven door and losing heat.
A light is also a standard feature for ovens. It is located inside the oven but can be turned on by either a button or switch on the exterior of the oven. Its purpose is to illuminate the contents of the oven so that you can better check up on the progress of whatever is inside.
Additional oven features
Hidden bake element
In a traditional oven, the heating element is exposed on either the top or bottom of the oven. With a hidden bake element, the heating element is located below the oven floor, making the interior seamless and, therefore, very easy to clean.
Baking drawer
Some range ovens offer a baking drawer, which enables a person to use the main oven to roast or broil, and the baking drawer for cookies, breads, pies, etc. This offers a lot of freedom, allowing for simultaneous cooking.
Warming drawer
Similar to a baking drawer, a warming drawer will not conduct the same levels of heat, but will keep food warm for as long as it is needed.
Broiling drawer
In ovens where the heating unit is not exposed, the broiler will be located in a drawer. The broiling drawer functions like a traditional broiler and must be watched just as closely to ensure that food does not burn.
Double ovens in conventional space
With a traditional, freestanding range/oven unit, dual baking chambers allow the flexibility of double wall ovens without the added space requirement. These ovens allow for the convenience of simultaneous cooking at different temperatures. They can also be more energy efficient, since it's easier (and faster) to bring a half-sized oven to temperature. In addition, some ovens come with a divider that allows you to divide your single oven into two unique temperature zones that will remain separate as long as the divider is in place.
Dehydration seems to making a comeback, you know, since the 1800's ended. It requires you to cook food very, very low heat (think 150 degrees Fahrenheit) for longer periods of time to evaporate all of the moisture in the food, therefore preserving it naturally. Fruits and vegetables can be dried in a matter of hours, while turning meats into jerky can take longer. Most ovens do not go lower than 200 degrees Fahrenheit, but some do in order to allow for dehydrating. This is wonderful if you use a separate, standalone dehydrator and are looking to consolidate.
Sabbath mode
According to Jewish law, it is prohibited to cook or prepare food at any point during the Sabbath, which takes place from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. In response, a few manufacturers have created ovens with Sabbath Mode settings. Star-K is a group that compiles information about kosher products, from food to cleaning supplies to appliances. For a list of Star-K certified appliance brands, please check out the Star-K webpage dedicated to appliances. GE also provides a comprehensive page explaining how Sabbath Mode functions.
Self-cleaning cycle
Many self-cleaning oven cycles heat the oven interior to between 900 and 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This super-high temperature reduces any food particles or soiling to ash, which you can sweep out without too much difficulty. Some require additional cleaning product, though most do not. Self-cleaning ovens are designed to remain locked during the superheating process to prevent any potential injuries caused by burns. The process, generally, takes about three hours. Due to the high temperatures involved, self-cleaning ovens are better insulated to protect against fire.
There are a few ovens that offer a much quicker self-clean. They require only that you spray the inside of the oven with water and the self-clean cycle takes less than 30 minutes. The steam created by the water and low heat lifts the stains and cooked-on food particles as effectively as super high heat and cleaning solvents in other ovens. Without the harsh chemicals, high heat, or time involved, ovens with an easy-clean setting are definitely worth a look.
Updated touch screens
As with stove and cooktops, many ovens now have done completely away with dials or knobs and allow you, instead, to control the temperature through touch screens. Some manufacturers' newer models have "disappearing" touch screens. When you press the screen all of the options and buttons become visible, but then disappear after a small period of idle time, leaving behind a smooth, elegant surface.
Delayed start
Some ovens come with a delayed start option, which allows you to preprogram cook times and temperatures. Most ovens with this feature will allow you to delay baking for one to twenty-four hours. This is handy if you want to put something in the oven, but but don't want it to start cooking immediately so that it will be done at a certain time. You can program the oven to turn on at a prescribed time. This could also be useful if you want to program the oven to be preheated and ready for use by the time you get home from work.
Infrared cooking
LG has developed some of their ovens to include infrared cooking technology, the same that has been used in grills for year. Infrared cooking reduces preheat time by approximately 20 percent, says their Web site. This ultra-fast cooking allows food to remain juicier than traditional thermal cooking.
Green stoves and ovens
The Environmental Protection Agency uses its EnergyStar rating system to recommend products that save energy without sacrificing features of functionality. As of now, the EPA has not given an EnergyStar seal of approval to any stoves or ovens. But there are choices you can make for a greener kitchen even without an official rating. For example, most dual-oven range combos contain a larger oven and a more efficient, smaller oven compartment. You can save energy by only using the larger oven when necessary, as it will require more energy to power.
As far as your cooktop, it's a toss-up between gas and electric cooking as to which is more "green." Gas appliances are run on natural gas, a fossil fuel, while most of our electricity in this country comes from the burning of coal, also a fossil fuel. Gas stoves are energy efficient in that they deliver heat faster and more directly. But if you like electric cooking, a ceramic or glass stove or cooktop is more efficient than the standard coil versions, which are the least efficient. Overall, induction cooking is the most energy efficient since the bulk of the heat comes from a physical reaction within the cookware itself and not the conversion of electricity into heat which then must be transferred to the cookware. Eliminating the extra steps makes a big difference.
Smart/next-gen features
Remote monitoring, smart timers, and settings
Some ovens will allow you to monitor cooking from your smartphone, meaning that you could check on the progress of a meal from another room. This feature isn't as advanced yet as we hope it will be eventually, but essentially it will allow you to keep track of oven temperature and how much time is left on your timer from a remote location. This feature also lets you confirm remotely whether the oven is on or off. Other models will allow you to turn on your oven remotely and control the temperature and time at which it is set. (Wireless network required)
Some newer ovens come with connections to a mobile app, which allows you to send a recipe to the range, which will adjust adjust its timer and temperature accordingly. (Wireless network required) Others have presets that will allow you to save your most frequently used temperature settings. Some can also adjust temperatures automatically during the process, allowing for recipes that begin and end at different temperatures.

Corporate Governance Myths: Comments on Armstrong, Guay, and Weber
James A. Brickley
University of Rochester - Simon Business School
Jerold L. Zimmerman
University of Rochester - Simon Business School
September 1, 2010
Simon School Working Paper No. FR 10-29
This paper argues that academics, politicians, and the media have six commonly held but misguided beliefs about corporate governance. While Armstrong, Guay, and Weber (2010) discuss some of these misconceptions, a wider recognition that these beliefs are actually "myths" is important. They include: (1) a common definition of "corporate governance" exists; (2) a useful distinction is "internal" versus "external" governance mechanisms; (3) outside directors perform two separable roles: to advise and monitor managers; (4) research has identified "good" and "bad" governance practices; (5) a "good" governance index can be constructed; and (6) corporate governance "best practices" can be deduced from peer data.

Super cute shoes
"When I first began my search for boat shoes, I had my heart set on Sperry's. I saw these, however, and fell in love. They had a less thick sole than sperry's and were just more my style. If you like a men's wear-vintage-type look, than these are for you. I'm normally a size 8, which is what I ordered in Merlot. These shoes are real leather and must be broken in. They are quite snug but I think if I had gone a size up, my heels would slip out, since I have narrow feet. I wore them without socks for a day and got awful blisters, but I noticed that since they are leather are stretching out, slowly but surely."

Great Boat Shoe
"I've held out for a while on buying boat shoes because I thought Sperry's (which are very cute, but EVERYBODY seems to have them, and only come in a few assortments) were my only option. I found these and thought they were different and cute enough to order. At first when I tried them on, I thought they were too tight, and I'd have to send them back. I decided to try and wear them for a day to see if they would break in seeing they are leather. After a full day they were worn in and super comfortable, I'm glad I gave them a shot. The color of the teal is super unique, and they seem to be high quality. My only complaint is that I wish the laces were colored on both sides. The underneath of them isn't a very pretty color."

"I was really excited when I bought these shoes because I bought them in the color teal and they had this washed-out look which was really appealing to me. However, they tend to run slightly small and very narrow. I had to return them but totally would have re-purchased this shoe if they had offered it in a wide width. If you have narrow feet, it is a great shoe for you. This pair of shoes was made with high quality material and will last a long time!"

The daily-deal operator will offer baseball-specific deals via its GrouponLive events platform.
Zak Stambor
Major League Baseball hopes that Groupon Inc. can lure consumers into its teams' ballparks.
The league yesterday announced a deal that makes Groupon Inc. MLB's official daily-deals site. The arrangement means that the daily-deal operator will host deals for MLB's 30 clubs for several years under the banner of its GrouponLive events platform.
GrouponLive will sell tickets for teams, as well as less conventional products, such as access to batting practices, luxury box seats and clubhouse and ballpark tours.
"Groupon offers a cutting-edge marketing channel with an extensive customer base to drive additional ticketing opportunities and incremental revenue for our teams," says Noah Garden, executive vice president, revenue, Major League Baseball Advanced Media.
The move comes after Groupon last year worked with a number of teams to sell tickets, and other types of access to games and ballparks. For instance, the daily-deal operator in August offered a $30,000 Epic Deal to Cubs fans that included attending batting practice with the team and throwing out the first pitch.

St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church
Last Resting Place Of Allentown's Only Allen
There is no detailed record of what the funeral of Margaret Elizabeth "Betsey" Allen, the second daughter of James Allen, who died in child birth in 1798 in Allentown was like, but we know enough about that the time to imagine it.
There is the little St. Paul's Lutheran Church, then almost new and now long gone, at the dirt roads that were then 8th and John, now 8th and Walnut Street. Northampton town as Allentown was still officially called was wrapped in a quiet that the 21st century can scarcely imagine. At the tolling of a funeral bell, men, some perhaps in tricorne hats, remove them as the little funeral procession passes by.
In the black coach that follows the hearse are the weeping figures of Betsey's sisters, Ann Penn Allen and Mary Masters Allen with their mother. In stately mourning, mounted on his horse, is William Tilghman. That day the future Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was a deeply grieving widower.
No less a figure than John Adams's wife Abigail had hailed the three Allen girls as part of the "constellation of beauty" that brightened the national capital of Philadelphia. But now an early death had darkened one of those beautiful auburn-haired stars.
After the service was done and prayers were said, the remains of "Betsey" Allen were laid to rest. Some say it was under the church floor. Some say it was in the church yard. Wherever it was, she was to rest in peace there for over 100 years.
Her sister Ann was to raise the daughter whose birth had cost her sister's life, until tragically that child also died in childbirth. William Tilghman never remarried.
Fast forward more than 100 years into the future. The year is 1903. St Paul's Lutheran is in the process of replacing a church they had built in the 1850s, one which had replaced the original church with a much bigger sanctuary. As the rebuilding process is under way the workers have began the delicate process of removing the remains of "Betsey" Allen to a new crypt that had been created for them under what will be the Church's new clock tower.
On hand for the event is a reporter for Allentown's Daily City Item newspaper. The reporter, after sharing the tale of Allen's passing with the readers, notes what he sees. All that remains are a collection of bones. But the skull still bares traces of strands of the auburn hair that "once turned the heads of the beaus of Federalist Philadelphia."
Today, over 100 years after that article appeared, St. Paul's Pastor Rev. Richard Baumann, a man with a passion for local history and the church's history in particular, is glad to have the church known as the burial spot of "Betsey" Allen. "We have the body," he quipped recently in a discussion of St. Paul's history.
As Baumann will tell you the church's congregation goes back to the founding of the city. Sometime in 1762 shortly after William Allen's surveyors drew some lines on a map laying out the city, a Lutheran congregation was gathering at a log structure, located on the north side of Walnut Street between 7th and 8th streets. At that point the building was shared with a German Reformed Congregation which is today Zion's Reformed UCC.
The future St. Paul's first enters the historical record on October 9, 1763. At that Sunday worship service the pastor, a Rev. Roth, was giving a sermon. Suddenly the doors of the church were opened and a flood of people came into the little building. It forced the surprised minister to "quit giving my sermon" as he later wrote. Indian raids had suddenly broken out on the outskirts of the community and these sudden arrivals were refugees from the distant frontier. The fear was that the Indian attacks that had created disturbances in the recently ended French and Indian War were about to be reignited.
Letters were written to the governor James Hamilton and militia troops called up. But the Native Americans, who were responding to having been cheated out of their trade goods at a local inn, went off into the wilderness beyond the Blue Mountains and were never seen again.
By 1773 the Zion's congregation left the building to build a church of their own on Hamilton Street. The log structure was occupied by the Lutherans until the early 1790s. It was then, thanks to the generosity of members of the Allen family, that property was set aside at the corner of 8th and Walnut St. for St. Paul's Lutheran Church. This probably explains why the Allens, who were not Lutheran, had "Betsey" Allen buried at that church.
St. Paul's continued to have a role in the early history of Allentown and Lehigh County. In December, 1814 local militia troops, returning from service in fortifications at Marcus Hook in the War of 1812, held a thanksgiving service for their safe return at St. Paul's.
St. Paul's also served another significant function in Allentown. According to a long time tradition the clock in its tower became the semi-official timekeeper for the city of Allentown. In the early 20th century those wanting to have the correct time would set their pocket watches and mantel clocks by the hands of St. Paul's. Although it no longer bears this distinction, it remains the last resting place of the only Allen in Allentown.

About a month ago on the Middle School Survival site in the Top Ten section, we asked you who should play Jenny and Addie in a movie based on the How I Survived Middle School series. The results were pretty unanimous, which was surprising:
Jenny Mcfee (Cast by YOU!)
#1 choice: Miley Cyrus
I agree — Miss Miley would be perfect for this role because not only does she look a little bit like Jenny, but she also deals with all the hardships one faces at school on a daily basis on her hit show, Hannah Montana.
#2 choice: Selena Gomez
Like Miley, Selena is constantly thinking of clever ways to deal with her school problems (on the Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place). Plus, she is also moving quickly up the celebrity ladder, so we'd better snag her while we have the chance.
View complete list of Jenny Mcfee considerations »
Addie Wilson (Cast by YOU!)
#1 choice: Ashley Tisdale
All I have to say is, "bravo" to the users who submitted Ashley Tisdale as their top choice to play Addie Wilson. Ashley already has this in the bag after starring as Sharpay in the High School Musical films. This role should be a cinch!
#2: Britney Spears
Britney Spears would be a bit too old for the role of Addie, but after watching her on How I Met Your Mother and Will & Grace, I'm sure Britney could pull if off. However, if she's too busy with her world tour, maybe her sister Jamie Lynn could fill in.
View complete list of Addie Wilson considerations »
Of course, there are a few characters that still need to be cast. So here's how I would round out the crew:
Haley Williams of Paramore as Chloe
Though she's not an actress and has never appeared in a movie or television show, Haley Williams can definitely perform. After seeing this Paramore lead singer in interviews and performances, I think Haley would fit this role as Jenny's friend quite well due to his fun demeanor and easygoing personality.
Cole or Dylan Sprouse as Marc
These Suite Life of Zack and Cody stars would be a shoe-in for the role of Marc. Funny, outgoing, and friendly, either one of these actors would have no problem pulling off this character. Now, which one would I cast . . . that's a hard one!
Emily Osment as Felicia
As Hannah Montana's comedic best friend, Emily Osment already has this role down. Plus she has such a friendly and welcoming appearance that she could never be cast as "a pop."
Miranda Cosgrove as Dana
Sure you love Miranda Cosgrove in Nickelodeon's iCarly, but this talented actress also played the stuck-up and demanding girl in the movie School of Rock (2003) and the annoying and scheming sister on Drake and Josh, so I'm sure she'll have no problem acting as Addie's cruel and popular friend.
Colleen and Suzanne Dengel as Marilyn and Carolyn
You may not have heard of these girls, but they starred alongside famed actress Meryl Streep as her daughters in the 2006 hit movie Devil Wears Prada. Not only are they middle-school age, but they also fit the prerequisite of being identical twins.
Emma Roberts as Sabrina
This actress has the skills down to play one of the unkind, popular girls in How I Survived Middle School. Though she is probably one of the most down-to-earth young actresses in Hollywood, like her aunt Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts can take on any part she is given and succeed.
Bonnie Wright as Sam
Have you happen to hear of a little series called Harry Potter? Well, if you have, then you've probably both read the books and seen the movies. This actress, Bonnie Wright, plays Ginny Weasley. Given her well-established acting credentials and the fact that she already has a British accent (right, she's from England), she'd be perfect for the role of Sam.
Susan Sarandon as Ms. Jaffe
She is probably one of the greatest actresses of all time. If you don't know who she is from her name, you might recognize her as Queen Narissa from the Disney movie Enchanted. Susan Sarandon has been in just about any type of movie you can imagine; from comedy to drama to action, she's done it all. This is the reason I pick her to star as Ms. Jaffe, Joyce Kilmer Middle School's strict and tough English teacher.
So, do you all agree with my choices? If not, who would you pick?
— Carly M., STACKS Staffer

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Naruto made millions of people butthurt, so I'm sorry to say it but, this weeks Naruto trumps this weeks One Piece.
Now in the last chapter discussion, everyone was trying to guess who will fight who. I would like to throw my vote over to Virgo vs Zoro. I figured they would fight when Virgo was introduced, but now it seems more likely. Zoro doesn't seem to give a shit about Tashigi anymore and Tashigi still is pissed at Zoro.
I like how the dragon is sticking to the background and at the same time being hinted at being something big.
I Love You!
Yeah OP has been just a so so this couple of weeks. On the bright side Monet did throw that rock to Chopper and even gave him the formula. I don't know what's her ulterior motive nor who she is working for but this got me interested to her.
And oh, Vergo's an idiot.
sig made by me
13 useless pages exept the last one anywhooo
One piece chapter was good again...but i hope this escape won't last long . i mean the big fights better begin next chapter.
vergo vs zoroo no no no aint gonna happen why
first off all vergo is only conserend with smoker and law
we all know smoker is looking for vergo
luffy is whey ahaed of the rest so i guess he'll encounter vergo first but smoker is gonna but in and tell luffy to leave
Definitely trumps. Naruto is up to about 10 pages of discussion, and it just dropped this morning. And there's only one member in this thread now (and that's me), and 6 guests :-/
-Even if G5 has no control, good to see they still have team loyalty
-Yeah, something's not right about that dragon
-Wonder why Oda included the little bit about Virgo and a sword. Is he a spoonsman, maybe...And just how does he intend to rip things to pieces
-I want a knock-down drag out fight this arc. After the bullshit that was the final "battle" against Hordy, I want to see some Crocodile/Enel/Arlong level fighting (not Moria or Lucci level though, cause it's too soon to see Luffy fight so hard that he's rendered useless afterwards).
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
This weeks One Piece > Naruto's by far. Ppl are 'butthurt' as in dissappointed in Kishi himself. I thought he was above an average writer.
I hope this Arc is Zoro's. Luffy did more than enough, his bounty is more than twice of his first mate.
That harpy woman noticed Chopper. Either she gave him the paper or she'll get in his way.
I am glad that I somehow understand how the manga industry works (more or less) because of Bakuman, which is why I'm pretty confident to say that One Piece has been absolutely great for the past chapters.
Yes one piece is still building up to that moment, just a bit longer.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
I can also Jinbei would be joining the Straw hat at tha end of this Saga w<hen the Supernovas wouyld have had finished with Big mum and the sun Pirates would be independent of her ( as in East blue Saga for Nami, Skypea for Chopper, CP9 for Robin and Franky, WB War saga for Brook and in Y vs SN Saga for Jinbei ).
And for the naruto issue i was greatly dissapointed so i can boldly say this week's One Piece is > than Naruto

Great boots!
"I've been looking for a pair of black riding-style boots for years. These are great quality (all leather, nice sole) boots that are riding-esque, but not too gimmicky with fake spurs and the like. They fit great with a gap at the top the knee (they're supposed to do that) which I love. The logo at the top adds to the elegance of this boot. Would definitely recommend!!"

Almost perfect
"I was beyond excited to get these boots! Although I was nervous about my high arches. Well I slipped them on and they fit my arch perfectly ... however, my calves were a different story. If you have athletic/massive calves like I do then you might want to find a different boot. I about cried because they are so beautiful."

Lovely but didn't fit
"I have a 15.25 wide calf weigh 145# and purchased a pair of these size 9. They fit ok until you got to the very top where there was about a 2 inch excess of boot. So I had to return. Thought I read enough reviews that I was ok on the size but I guess not. Oh well."

Politics and Hollywood collide during inaugural weekend with the 'Daily Beast' brunch.
WASHINGTON -- The theme of bipartisanship in Congress brought Hollywood stars, political leaders and famous media faces together Sunday for a brunch at Cafe Milano hosted by the Daily Beast and Credit Suisse.
"If a star football player can have a mythical girlfriend, why can't I have a mythical Congress?" Newsweek and Daily Beast editor and event host Tina Brown said. "I hope (this event) brings about a kind of social accord because very often things happen over a drink that can not happen on the floor of Congress. We have some powerful people here and they are all chatting away like crazy."
And they were.
Brunch co-host Eva Longoria was glowing as everyone swooned around her.
"I am really excited about the bipartisanship that is going to be happening here," she said. "The lunch today really shows people that they can be together and enjoy themselves."
Rosario Dawson said she is looking forward to enjoying the inaugural festivities with her mom, who is joining her in D.C.
"I am excited about about the next four years and possibly immigration reform," she says.
David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Obama, arrived with his wife and son.
Axelrod, who shaved off his 40-year-old mustache in December to help raise money for epilepsy, addressed his stache-less state. "It's OK. Not as bad as I thought. My wife really likes it and that's what matters," he said.
The food was lavish and the room was packed. Republicans and Democrats couldn't help brushing elbows.
"I want people here to know that Republicans are invited and welcome and that the inauguration is a non-partisan event. It's a celebration of America," Republican pollster Frank Luntz said.
Other Republicans at the event agreed.
"Tomorrow, give Obama his day," GOP lobbyist Ed Rogers said. "A lot of my Republican friends pride themselves in leaving town but I'll be here. I am always for whatever rituals and events there are in Washington where Democrats and Republicans get together. It makes it healthier. There is not enough of it."
CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer said he's excited to see the inaugural speech. Of this inauguration he said: 'The second one is never like the first. It's like a second marriage. The last time it was truly historical. What is more important? The first election of a black president or the re-election?"

Richland students home safe after rumors of violence
Students at Richland High School are home safe tonight after rumors of violence broke out at the school connected to the Mayan end-of-the-world doomsday prediction.
Students say nothing out of the ordinary happened today.
They say today, was just another day at school.
Yesterday, there were rumors across the world, including at Richland High School, that violence would break out everywhere today, and people need to protect themselves with guns.
School administrators and police officers investigated the rumors in Richland, and found all of them to be hoaxes.
But just as a precaution, extra Richland police officers were at the school today to make sure all the students were safe throughout the day.
"Nothing really happened today" said Mark McDonald, student.
"Nothing happened. So they were just rumors" said Allison Perry, student.
"I felt pretty safe. I didn't think that anything would happen" said Nathan McDonald, student.
"There is always cause for awareness. We don't want to have anyone live in fear, but we do want to have everyone live with a heightened degree of awareness. And that's one of the things that we're trying to emphasis with our presence" said Cpt. Mike Cobb, Richland Police Department.
Richland police also had extra officers at Hanford High School, and officers checked in throughout the day at middle and elementary schools within the city - even though there were no rumors of violence there.
Richland police say even though there were some extra officers on duty today at the schools, police do regularly check in with the middle and elementary schools, and the high schools have school resource officers.
Police say they regularly check in with schools so they can build relationships with staff members, parents and students, and also to know the layout of each school.
That way, everyone is more prepared in case of an emergency.
