T&C's Top 50 Bachelors of 2014
Mr. Steinberg, a top portfolio manager and close confidant of Steve Cohen at SAC Capital Advisers, wears a navy crew neck, a dark suit, and an open collared starched white shirt, projecting the image of the harried trader who'd just stepped away from his terminal. Some details—the hand-sewn buttons and the French shirt placket—do betray the presence of a personal shopper, but clearly Steinberg here is obeying the injunction his wife Liz sent out to friends, to lose the bling if you're going to attend proceedings.
Postscript: Mr. Steinberg, who was found guilty yesterday, briefly fainted as the jury returned to render the verdict, which is probably not a good sign for his superior, Steve Cohen, who must hope that Steinberg doesn't crack in the pen. Steinberg now faces an entirely more difficult fashion challenge: what to wear to his sentencing hearing April 25.
One thing you should never do in court is try to be someone you're not. So Ms Campbell is probably acting on sound advice here, maintaining her diva-hood even unto the halls of justice. For a battery charge—her housekeeper accused her of whacking her on the head with a cellphone for not finding her jeans with sufficient alacrity—Campbell wore dark glasses, a choice that insinuated that somehow she was the abused party. At the Hague, during the trial of the Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, she chose an innocent if tightly fitted cream sweater set to testify about the blood diamonds that the libidinous Liberian had offered her at a dinner sponsored by Nelson Mandela.

Syrian rebels said on June 21 they have received new weapons from friendly countries that could lead to changes on the ground and victories against President Bashar Assad's forces. The civil war has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced more than four million and turned neighbor against neighbor, with civilians paying the price. (Reuters)

Who cares about core processors? We do, and so should you if you plan to buy a new computer this year. Here's why:
If you've been in the market for a new gadget lately, you've likely been bombarded with tech jargon that sounds like a cross between a football audible — i3, i5, i7 (hike!) — and a choice of Ivy League schools (Snapdragon, Haswell, Ivy Bridge). I'm talking about various types of core processors, which are like the heart and brains of our favorite gadgets. Why should you care? For one, which one you choose makes a big difference in cost — sometimes by thousands of dollars. Also, core processors can play a big difference in how fast your gadget goes and how long the battery lasts.
You hear a line or two of core-related tech-speak every time you come across a new desktop, laptop, tablet and 2-in-1.
Speed and power are two of the biggest tasks a processor manages, and that means a great deal when it comes to performing everyday tasks, from loading a webpage to playing a video game. What you plan to do with your computer should influence the processor you go for. If you browse the Web, check e-mail, all tasks that are fairly easy, you won't need much power. But if you're going to play games or edit movies, you'll want a little more under the hood or else you'll feel like you're in the slow lane on the highway.
Contributor Jennifer Jolly walks through the basics of sorting through what "core strength" means to your computing needs.
When it comes to laptops, desktops and 2-and-1 computers, the name you hear most is Intel. While there are other many other chip makers, such as Samsung, which makes the Exynos that power some Chromebooks, AMD, known for gaming and graphics, and Qualcomm, one of the most popular in smartphones and tablets, Intel remains the most prolific provider of these little everything-engines. For simplicity sake, we'll use Intel by name here, but many of the core concepts — such as price and speed — are similar across brands. (For instance, you'll pay more for the latest and greatest, even though last year's model might be all you need.)
The latest generation are code-named Haswell — and you may find them referred to that way in advertising — but they're officially known as 4th Generation Intel Core processors. Haswell has greatly improved the power usage of the chips, which has allowed laptops to have extraordinary battery life — real-world performance of nine to 12 hours.
While these are the latest and, according to Intel, greatest processors, you can still get great performance out of the older, 3rd Generation Intel Core processors (Ivy Bridge) — especially if you're buying a desktop system, which doesn't need the energy efficiency of 4th Gen processors. And with everyone wanting the latest Haswell processors, Ivy Bridge chips can be a decent way to pick up a bargain. But if you're buying a laptop, an ultrabook, or a 2-in-1 (laptop/tablet hybrid), the extra battery life you'll get from a Haswell is worth the expense.
Intel sells them in three speeds, i3, i5 and i7. Lower numbers mean less power — and a lower price. Beyond that label, each processor will also have a speed in GHz (gigahertz). 4th Gen processors range from 1.2 GHz in speed on the low end and all the way up to 3.6 GHz on the high end — though expect to pay a premium for those faster speeds. The price difference between i3 and i5 is typically around $50-$100. But taking the leap up to i7 is often quite a bit more.
For people who use computers at home to manage e-mail, browse the Web, and spend hours perusing Pinterest, lower speeds, i3-i5, should give plenty of processing power. Gamers, video editors, and people creating graphics-rich documents should look at higher speeds, i5-i7. Another number you'll see is the cores the processor has: 4th Gen Intel processors have two or four (dual or quad) cores. More cores equals more power, especially if you're running multiple tasks at a time.
Intel has two really great sites to help make it a lot easier to figure out which core is right for you — how to choose the right Intel processor, and an Intel processor comparison. Both sites are packed with information, videos, and everything you need to get past today's core confusion.

Skip to comments.WRKO suspends talk show host Carr
Posted on 04/16/2010 11:39:54 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement
Conservative talk radio host Howie Carr of WRKO 680 AM has been suspended for a week, effective Friday, for publicly and repeatedly using his program to bad-mouth the station, a company executive said.
Julie Kahn, vice president and marketing manager for Entercom Boston, which owns the station, said Carrs behavior toward his employer has become increasingly caustic and intolerable.
His behavior and his anger at the company is unacceptable because he denigrates the company, the medium, the station, the signal, and hes a highly, highly, highly paid employee, she said.
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
Oh boy...
"Oh boy..."
Hahahaha...Howie...he'll get another gig somewhere...he probably saw one of the execs walk in with a sweater around his neck and wearing green pants and snapped.
Howie went on strike a few years ago, lasted 3 months...wants to move to the FM talk station but WRKO won't let him out of his contract
"Howie went on strike a few years ago, lasted 3 months...wants to move to the FM talk station but WRKO wont let him out of his contract"
Live Shot will have something to say about this...count on it....
Howie's been talking about "Zombie Radio" (the station's been cutting costs, cutting staff) and is always badmouthing "Felon Finneran" (the morning guy).
He's praying they fire him, because WTKK wants to hire him as moirning man.
Yeah just heard about it...he was saying he'd be off next week on vacation in Fla. etc...
the funny thing is Entercom took him back and seemed to grin and bear his criticism of them, etc., as long as he got good ratings. Maybe they are trying to save money now? Set him free then!
Howie Carr list ping. Yikes!
Not sure who's filling in for Howie (he did hint at Col Hunt for a couple days, maybe Avi too?) but here are alternatives:

Sean Hannity 1200 Rush Radio
WRKO Yanks Carr Off The Air
by Brian Maloney, April 16th, 2010 at 10:58pm
With their station near death, WRKO managers have decided to pin the blame on Howie Carr, absolutely the only thing keeping whats left of 680 AM afloat (other than perhaps Michael Savage, speaking from a ratings perspective).
Theyve apparently decided to yank him from the airwaves for a week, simply because thin-skinned, bitter, failed executives hope to shift blame away from their collapsing operation. From The Globies late this evening:
Conservative talk radio host Howie Carr of WRKO 680 AM has been suspended for a week, effective Friday, for publicly and repeatedly using his program to bad-mouth the station, a company executive said.
Julie Kahn, vice president and marketing manager for Entercom Boston, which owns the station, said Carrs behavior toward his employer has become increasingly caustic and intolerable.
His behavior and his anger at the company is unacceptable because he denigrates the company, the medium, the station, the signal, and hes a highly, highly, highly paid employee, she said.
She declined to comment publicly on the exact trigger for the suspension, or its terms.
But a source with knowledge of the situation said the contretemps with Carr, which dates back to a bitter contract dispute in 2007, has escalated markedly in recent weeks and included verbal attacks on station managers.
Attacks on station managers? SO WHAT! What about ratings and revenue?
Or the other affiliates that carry Howies show throughout New England?
This is beyond pathetic, first, from the standpoint that The Empress, Coffee Boy and other corporate suits could still have their jobs after destroying Entercoms (NYSE:ETM) Boston cluster, but also to think that the one person they choose to punish is their remaining lifeline to solvency.
Howie needs to find a new home and fast. WRKO is finished.
For their part, WXTK-FM, WGAN and the other Howie affiliates had better start thinking about a Plan B, another show to fill the slot, as I dont believe Carrs will be airing there much longer.
Note: Brian says maybe Howie's affiliates would turn to something else but Howie could well be stuck at RKO till late 2012 by contract
Denigrates the signal? Sure, because the signal sucks! At least after dark. This is why WCRN in Worc. has him... when it gets dark before 6 pm he has to tell people to tune to AM 830 because RKO's signal fades (by FCC regulations, the station must push its signal north and south after dark to avoid interference)
Basically switching from a non-directional (circular) antenna pattern to a bi-directional (figure-eight) antenna pattern.
WRKO aims its signal from north northwest south southeast so as to protect KNBR 680 in San Francisco (which can be heard at night here in Montana) and WPTF 680 in Raleigh, NC, so it's very strong in NH and on the Cape. Strongest signal is toward the Cape and out toward the ocean.
Yes and I think stations in Toronto, Balt., and Binghamton have to be protected too. I was in VT last yr and was having trouble picking up WVMT Burlington (I was in Rutland and it was nr sunset). WCRN was OK; as for WRKO, it kept fading in and out and mostly I was getting Hannity...that was from Baltimore (99.7 from NH came in sometimes)
Aside from WBZ (1030), all of the Boston AM facilities are signal challenged in the western part of the market. 50,000 watt WEEI (850) also suffers when the night directional pattern kicks in since it protects co-channel KOA in Denver.
On the other hand, WBZ's directional pattern is very favorable with the signal directed over land, day and night, and very little of its 50 kilowatts serving the fish.
You both are evidently quite astute concerning radio. So you may already be familiar with ``Radio Info'', a website showing both the AM and FM facilities.
Just for the record (and others may find this of interest since there a lot of technical types on FR), here's the Boston market. Click on the yellow 'i' image to the left of the calls which opens a page where the day and night coverage areas can be examined. The maps are rather optimistic in terms of actual signal penetration.
The intersting thing about 850 KOA in Denver is that it reaches 4 Canadian provinces, 35 states in the US and most of Mexico north of Mexico City, but it cannot be heard in the Seattle market since an all sports station in Tacoma is on 850 kHz. Hardcore AM DX'ers have heard KOA Denver in countries such as Sweden and Australia.
They probably have to drop their output power too. There are a few stations, used to be called "clear channels", that pretty much stay the same 24/7...they pretty much have the only station (at least in the US) at that particular frequency. WSB Atlanta, WLS Chicago, the one in N.O. and others, you can hear them almost from anywhere in the US at night if conditions are right.
I was stationed on an island in the Azores off the coast of Portugal in the early 70s. We regularly listened to WLS in Chicago every night/very early morning.
A replacement for the week has not yet been announced.
< |:)~
Entercom happens...
WOW! I had no idea the signal reached that far!
How 'bout them Warriors?? < |:)~
Entercom management style.
Is there more to HC's suspension? Dan Kennedy writes that maybe Entercom may ditch talk and wonders if Howie would be able to find a job elsewhere and if ao, at his pay
one night here in Beverly I heard WEEI shut off to do maintenance...and KOA came in
yes...btw you first say radio-info but link to radio-locator. Am a regular on radio-info's boards
I don't know who is running radio-locator but I told them several times that WXKS is now Rush Radio/talk/ and their site urL. They haven't changed listing yet.
I wonder how liberals Josh from Vermont or Steve from Montreal feel? Conflicted?
Well, if they set him free, I sure hope Howie will quickly find another station who will take him, and keep his syndication (as I've mentioned before, we listen to Howie via WHYN 560, Springfield, MA).
In the Hartford, CT area we are still mourning the loss of our beloved and excellent conservative radio talk show host Jim Vicevich, whom I think was poised for expansion (syndication). Instead there was some "contract dispute" at the end of March, and now Jim is banished from flamethrower WTIC 1080 AM's airwaves.
The replacement for Jim's once-great show? Some nitwit has-been FM-type "shock jock" (wannabe IMO) babbling on non-stop for 3 hours - it is pure torture. "Sebastian's" show is disgusting and appalling. Never in my life did I think 84-year-old radio giant WTIC 1080 would sink this low.
Jim Vicevich's show lives on now via Blogtalk Radio, but in no way is it the same as before, and not as convenient as snapping on a radio at home or in the car. Now he gets a handful of loyal listeners per day, where before he had thousands (maybe even a million+). I'm becoming an infrequent listener now, where before I heard just about every show. It really sucks...
That's the new 1200 AM station in Boston, right? On the way to Boston on Wednesday morning to attend the Tea Party Express rally with Sarah Palin, we couldn't help but notice the GIANT pic of Rush on a billboard on the Mass Pike (next to the New Balance building with the constantly changing picture) advertising the new "Rush" radio station.
Man, that giant Rush face must tick off the Boston-area libs BIG TIME! LOL
*ping* (in case you didn't know)
Ever since Col. Hunt revealed he voted for Obama (!!!) and has been endlessly bashing Sarah Palin, I can't bear to listen to him. I'm not a "Palin-bot", but enough already, Col. Hunt!
800 large?
$16,000 a week actually
Of course Clr Channel is also in billboard biz.
1200 used to be libtalk with a weaker signal but CC didn't do much to advertise it then. Yup WXKS 1200 is Rush Radio
WXKS' Jeff Katz made an appearance at the Boston Tea Party on Wednesday. He used to do a conservative talk show here in the Hartford, CT area back in the early 1990s on WDRC 1360 AM. I remember he said something controversial on air (I forgot specifically what it was), then we never heard from him again.
I'm just checking out the 1200 WXKS Rush Radio's website... it's fantastic! You must be so pumped to have a great radio station like WXKS in Boston. ;-)
Do you know if a Clear Channel radio station is going to enter the Hartford, CT market? There have been rumors....
What a load of bullsh*t.
WEEI and WRKO and the rest of the Entercom Boston stations suck. This listener is switching to 96.9 and 98.5 fulltime. I'll catch up on Howie via his columns.
"Emtercom happens!"
try 1200 too
Jeff Katz, Beck, Rush, Hannity, Lewis, Levin
I listen to the Sox but otherwise...
Who knows; I do know WHYN 560 in nearby Springfield is
owned by Clear Channel and they have a morning show plus
Beck, Rush, and Coast to Coast all from Clear Channel/Premiere plus Howie (from WRKO) and Savage (from
Talk Radio Network). Of course WTIC 1080 also runs Rush
plus Hannity (at night though often pre-empted by Sox) and they are owned by CBS. But I don't know if CC will enter Hartford (as far as I know they don't own stations there
or at least not talk or news)

The way WTIC 1080 runs Hannity is a joke... you're right, his show is pretty much always pre-empted by Red Sox 6 months out of the year. But, I guess it's better than nothing. I wish they'd run Hannity during his regular live, drive-time (3-6pm). And I wish we had Mark Levin in this market as well.
I think Howie was suspended by WRKO for just this week. As far as I know, he'll be back the week after next...
Yes, GOPsterinMA... Definitely give 1200 AM a try. You guys are so lucky to have this "Rush station" in your area! :o)
"Yes, that looks sort of like the Rush billboard on the Mass Pike.. LOL."
I wonder how many bow-tied bumkissers give THAT billboard a digital salute on the way to their coat holder gigs every day?
Can hear WABC when a semi-local station music station at 770 drops their power to from 5 kW daytime to 50 watts nighttime here. :)
From Wikipedia, here's a list of AM stations that are designated "clear channel", many of these are the originals and have been grandfathered. I don't believe the FCC issues 50,000 watt licenses these days anymore. (list includes Canadian and Mexican)
Right - 1200 I forgot about that! Thank you FRiends for the reminder.
Methinks this is payback to Howie for all he did to get Scott Brown elected...

Amazing Shoe - Bought them in both colors
"Very comfortable and easy to match shoe. I got them in both colors. I walked the LV Strip in them for about 2hrs and my feet didnt hurt at all. I couldn't believe it!"

Great Boots!
"These are a great pair of boots. They fit perfect. My shoe size fluctuates between a 5 1/2 and a 6 and I am glad I went with the 6 this time. They fit perfect. If I had gotten the 5 1/2 they would have been too tight. So if you go between a whole and half size, go with the bigger size. They are great on your feet too."

Very easy to wear
"I first spotted these at my local DSW store early in the season and after shopping all over for a neutral-toned shootie, decided to finally buy them online and I'm glad I did. They're comfortable with a heel that gives you height without being awkward. Great to pair with jeans or a dressier look. The mushroom color goes with everything, and the ruching makes for soft, feminine styling. And they arrived so quickly! I ordered on a Thursday night and they came on Saturday. Thanks DSW."

The perfect bootie
"I have a new obsession with booties, but I prefer them to be casual yet chic- perfect for wearing with jeans or for work attire. These have quickly become my favorite bootie. I wear them with jeans, and wear them almost every day to work with skirts and dresses. The heel is a perfect height, and they are comfortable to wear all day long. They are perfect for mixing with different colored tights!"

Sugar – just googled it- missed that reference.ReplyCancel
Thought so… Or I'm getting the Sandy silent treatment? 🙁ReplyCancel
Lets see ….you haven't posted
much the last two weeks until today. Ive answered everything you've directed to me I think unless I missed something from earlier. I ignore what should be ignored deliberately and if I dont answer something that should be, it means I missed it
Ok, sorry.ReplyCancel
Hey! You two can't be fighting! You're my favourite couple on here! Honourable mentions: Sherry + Charlie, Seven + LucasReplyCancel
Things have been extremely strange here lately…as long as we unnerstand each other. 🙁ReplyCancel
Oh gawd, would that we couldReplyCancel
I dont think Charlie wants to be tied down @TTM.
Well maybe he does with rope on a bed….me I consider a free agent.
Wow. I think I just got dumped Damon and Minnie Driver-style.ReplyCancel
Sandybrook, that's not true, is it????ReplyCancel
well I am spoken for I have TeresaReplyCancel
No ….the last time that particular word was said regarding me and you you disappeared for a week. I'm uncomfortable with that word myself, online friends I'm comfortable with. Couples do things together. Friends are there for each other when needed.ReplyCancel
and TTM but people are jealous of our love **jokesjokes** lmao
but I do love a girl that threatens us with Mindy McCready lyrics!
I guess I'm the only one who read this as Johnny Depp. Does he have a teen daughter?ReplyCancel
Derek, I know that you and Brenda L are betrothed as well, but I will totally be your back-up. Because I do know far more Mindy McCready lyrics than I shouldReplyCancel
Dang, sandybrook, I did not mean to make shite get real on here. I am ALWAYS just joking, everyone knows that, right?ReplyCancel
Depp has a young teen daughterReplyCancel
Not sure what exactly you're referring to but I apologize. I've been out of country for work and didn't have reliable internet access at the lovely locale I was visiting (rhymes with Schmafghanistan). Sorry I dipped out on you. Didn't think it was relevant or anyone cared.ReplyCancel
Yeah we know you keed @TTM We except for that pig who shall remain nameless all lurve ya!ReplyCancel
Its all good. We all have fun here dont we? Y'all are welcome to visit I have plenty of space. (Then shit gets real :)) )ReplyCancel
I am just glad its not my turn this weekend—and I can remain the Angel I truly am…***soaring away to a coors light**
Be nice everyone—fighting over the net is worse than real life cause ya cant actually just duke it out (or if its a woman in my case get one of your girls to do it for you).
Dang, Kristin, I'd be drinky too if that was my job's idea of a cool place for a business trip! Wait, I don't have a job
I lurve all you guys too, sandybrook! Even the nameless ones, they need it more than anyone, true story. And especially my drinky TinaReplyCancel
Christ, this is like the lunchroom in a middle school. Meet you all by the lockers after gym!ReplyCancel
Are you bringing the coolers, knockout? Let's see if Seven can bring empty slurpee cupsReplyCancel
I still don't get who said what about S and I.
Derek, shush your face and ascend away 😉ReplyCancel
Sorry, was that me, sandybrook? When I joked that you guys showed up at the same time crazy late one morning.
I know. I should really just shut upReplyCancel
With many apologies to @Derek for what I'm about to say because of the topic. Headrot….if you are reading this give a shout out because you sent out an SOS in the middle of the night and it sounded like you were in bad trouble.ReplyCancel
Yeah…you live up to your name pretty well sometimes…ReplyCancel
I'm gone. Peace, peepsReplyCancel
Don't go, @TTM!! I thought you were joking that day. Let's save the fighting for VIP (just me?)ReplyCancel
No you cant you have a book club meeting to set up! They've been patient for weeksReplyCancel
Kristin, I've missed you so. Sailing off to exotic locales and not taking along your favorite pirate?
And Kristin says, "Charlie, you're a fine boy. What a good husband you would be. But my life, my lover, my boy toy is the sea." **with apologies to Looking Glass
@TTM & Knockout: I'll keep lookout for the Principal. Remind me to use my good eye.ReplyCancel
There was a fight? Today? Where?ReplyCancel
(I know about the real fight earlier but there was another one between who who and who?)ReplyCancel
At the risk of sounding all middle school lunchroom, I missed Kristin and others in the last couple of weeks, too. I assumed they were hunkering down in bunkers, like Sugar. Kristin, welcome back from Schmafghanistan!ReplyCancel
Whelp. That dissolved into total carnage quite quickly.
Charlie, I would never allow you to be placed in harm's way!!ReplyCancel
I just meant I will stop aggravating the situation! You can't get rid of me that easily!ReplyCancel
actually he was pictured with his daughter about a week ago, they were with marilyn manson. do some research before you accuse him of being an absent father.ReplyCancel
There was no carnage what chu talking about betch? In a way I guess its flattering for ppl to think we are a "couple", I know we have had tremendous rapport and ease with each other and maybe ppl think we really know each other for realz. (And I dont have skype either so that's out…but you never know do you?) Stranger things happen.ReplyCancel
Slightly OT, but re: Johnny Depp, he was picture with MM, dropping off some kid at school, and totally had a glass pipe and lighter in his hand.
Johnny deppReplyCancel
@lotta and Derek I thought about Foxx too.ReplyCancel
LowKey all this can be blamed on KTrash and KFF. 🙁ReplyCancel
I like the Jamie Foxx guess, because his daughter is hot.ReplyCancel
@Sandy—-as if—I actually kinda like Headrot now. lol. and if she is reading I apologize for copying and pasting her journal thing and making fun. Some others mentioned I must know about her struggles or whatever and I do not, nor do I want to but we just had a little tiff—big deal.ReplyCancel
*I must NOT know
and she shouldn't care about my opinion of her either way.ReplyCancel
@Michael—yeah I dont know whats up around here. I am pretty sure that certain people have been trolling under different names and even certain people that claim to cancel their accounts have made lame attempts to resurrect and hurt peoples feelings. I just think people should post what they want under their own name but they wont cause their childish and insecure etc.ReplyCancel
No. That's who first came to mind for me. He always smells like weed.ReplyCancel
She seems to struggle with whatever life has dished out to her & she said last night she needed friends. Tbh online ain't the right place for that…but sometimes if you need someone just to chat with, it might help. But from what I saw she never answered the 2 who reached out to her.ReplyCancel
Cabin fever could be a reason for some of it Michael. Some of it is other reasons.ReplyCancel
Johnny Depp, he has even said in an interview from a while back that when his kids smoke pot he will buy it for them so they don't get ripped off.ReplyCancel
LOL TTM. I only said that in an earlier post because I always flirt (like that old lady in the Playboy cartoons)knowing it makes him uncomfortable. If he met me in real life he wouldn't be creeped out and I wouldn't be creepy either. I don't think he gets my joke. Maybe he does he just never lets on.
Otherwise I have no idea what is going on in the rest of this post.ReplyCancel
This should sum it up: I tried to do some matchmaking, it all went horribly wrong. Then maybe it didn't. And then we all realised we're acting like middle-schoolers and Seven STILL hasn't shown up with Slurpee cups for the coolers and at the end of the day, it turns out I come by my name honestly.
You missed the part where most of us lurves you anyway, TTM. Yay for apologies, Derek. And now I'm concerned about Headrot 🙁ReplyCancel
I lub you too, Cocoa!! Yes, apologies rock. It can be hard to do that when you feel like your back is against a wall.
Paging headrot!ReplyCancel
I got it Sugar, and I laughed out loud.ReplyCancel
Hey Kimba! It got a little scary today. Enjoy the fuzzies. You too, Sherry! Lub u guys!ReplyCancel
Hope your cold is getting better, Kimba. Warm fuzzies for all.ReplyCancel
@Topper Madison – Yes, indeed – Lily will be 14 this year. Great guess!ReplyCancel
@Step Did you hear from headrot at all? I saw you left a message as well. We've been sending up flare signals all day.ReplyCancel
How's your melon now, DT?ReplyCancel
Melon is intact. Status of pants: still unknown
How was RoboCop? Are you a Joel Kinnaman fangirl yet?
I continued my Oscar watch campaign with foreign films double feature. Both depressing. By the end, the theater looked like the waiting room for a methadone clinic.ReplyCancel
But…you have some pants, right? Just not those ones??
RoboCop was not bad! But I was really anticipating some crazy good Joel Kinnaman action, because of all the buzz, and he was all right? Had a nice voice? Didn't get it yet
I'm so behind on the Oscar movies, I've only seen the Dallas Buyers Club so far. Whaddaya like best?ReplyCancel
The noms are pretty stacked this year so it just depends on your taste.
Mainstream films: American Hustle & Capt Phillips
Different but good: Gravity & Her
I just saw Broken Circle Breakdown (Belgium) and it may be my personal favorite. Gut wrenching and so fantastically done. The trailers don't do it justice.
Fruitvale Station and Blackfish were also amazing but got locked out of any nominations.ReplyCancel
@TTM I thought Dallas Buyers Club was great, MUCH better than Wolf of Wall Street that was only notable for the 'cerebral palsy Quaalude' scene, Blue Jasmine is a bore apart from Cate Blanchett who completely deserves the accolades he is getting.
But I still recommended WOWS as a great comedy film to watch for laughs, it is just not Oscar-worthy.
There's my 2 cents for all it's worth!ReplyCancel

MISSION MATTERS: Who's the Greatest?
"What were you arguing about on the way?"
But they remained silent.
For they had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest.
-Mark 9:33-34
It feels good to know that some things about human nature have not changed. In today's Gospel, the disciples are caught discussing a topic that, if we're really honest with ourselves, is something we think about or discuss or worry about today. We all seem to need to think we can build our own self-esteem through comparison games. We all are tempted to think that for us to feel good about who we are, we must be better than someone else. To think we are "winners," others need to be "losers." Most of are caught in a competition, like athletics, where we have to strive to constantly prove our superiority over others in order to have self-value.
This seems to be the heart of the issue the disciples discuss in today's Gospel. Jesus tells His followers, then and now, in His words and deeds, that we must strive to change this all-too-human approach to build our identity and self-esteem. He shows us that the true definition of who we are cannot be based on making others less, but on how we work in all parts of our lives to support and build-up and encourage all others. He tells us, still, again, always in words and deeds, that if we want to feel good about ourselves, we must live, at all times and in every place, in a way that serves all we meet. We cannot live as if we are competitors of others, but we must live as companions.
Under the leadership of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the early Jesuits were reminded of this same lesson. Ignatius told his companions that even though they may have been sent to be advisors to kings or as experts to Church councils, they also needed to stay grounded in the real world and work with the poor, sick and marginalized. Ignatius hoped his brothers would be able to resist the temptation to live lives founded on — relying on — power and competition and would remember in all parts of their lives the charge we all have to serve others equally.
As we look toward a new academic year ... a new year for all of us at Saint Louis University, let us renew our efforts to live our real Mission more in each moment of our lives. Let us look at each person we meet or task we undertake as clear opportunities to search for the truth in that moment. Let us take the time to discover how we can truly serve others — not just because it makes us feel good or helps us prove our own worth, but because by serving others we may become more aware that the other is connected to who we are. In all of this, we know that God will be praised as we all come closer to who we are meant to be.
No matter whether we work at the end of a shovel, or mop, or a keyboard, or a board room table, we are all charged to make this same Mission real — in our words and our actions.
Each of our roles in the work of Saint Louis University is important in its own way. Each of our roles helps educate a student, helps serve a Higher Purpose, helps seek a Greater Good.
Whether we manage or are managed, we have great worth — not from any particular role we may have, but because of the value God has given each of us.
Let us all strive to work and live not as competitors, but companions in our common purpose, where the greatest among us is truly the person who serves us all. Who's the greatest? The one who serves is the greatest.

Comments: I got these just about 1 year ago and they are AMAZING! Since getting them, I have played at least 2-3 times a week and they are holding up wonderfully. I got them baked to my feet and broke them in on my first skate. I've taken pucks to the boot and felt minimal to no pain. Great price point too. Only complaint is the insole is pretty flimsy. I hope they continue to last me at least a couple more years. I would definitely recommend these.
From: Alicia, Bensenville, IL
Comments: These are amazing skates! I had some troubles with my last pair being to flexible and not being able to support my size (6' 280lbs). The X70s made a huge difference in my game. I wish I would have gotten these as my first pair of skates, but they weren't out yet. Great for beginners!

Bauer Vapor Ice Hockey Skates
Tapered Fit
The Bauer Vapor 1X Pro Stock Skates boasts pro-exclusive features that the retail version did not include. These 1X Pro's have a stiffer Curv quarter package, a more traditional 52oz, three-piece white felt tongue and upgraded FormFit+ footbeds (even though these still come with SpeedPlates). Just like the standard version, the 1X Pro's come with the new X-Rib design that was inspired by the OD1N project which not only reduces weight but increases stability and support.
The Bauer Vapor 1X Ice Hockey Skate is Bauer's most advanced hockey skate to date. Derived from the OD1N Skate Project, these Vapor 1X's showcase a redesigned X-rib pattern on the new Aluminzed Curv™ quarter package. These skates also come with cutting-edge Speed Plate Technology, which provides unparalleled balance and energy transfer by forming the footbed to the bottom of the foot.
The Bauer Vapor 1X LE Skate showcases a blacked out, 3D-lasted Curv™ quarter packages that delivers some of the most explosiveness and power around. These Limited Edition 1X's debut an updated X-Rib design and Curv™ composite ankle support that derives directly from Bauer's OD1N project, helping the 1X to shed weight, increase support and improve energy transfer through each stride.
The Bauer Vapor X900 Ice Hockey Skates feature a full pro-spec setup like the flagship 1X, just with more traditional features. The X900 showcases a full composite outsole, a 3D-lasted Curv™ composite quarter package and a thick traditional white felt tongue. Bauer also gave the X900 skate with pro-preferred LS3 steel that is taller than LS2 or Fusion runners, providing a stronger overall build with a longer sharpening life.
The Bauer Vapor X800 Ice Hockey Skates boast the same high-performance, Curv™ composite quarter package as the flagship Vapor 1X, making it the only sub-800 gram skate at its price point (size 8.0D). This 3D lasted, composite material provides top notch stiffness and support; directly translating into powerful explosiveness and agility. Working with the signature Vapor X-Rib design is Bauer's premium Hydra-Max Liner; it not only works to keep feet dry but it helps to keep the foot from sliding around internally.

More On The Schenn-JvR Deal
JP Nikota
June 24 2012 12:39PM
I have to confess that I've never been much of a Luke Schenn fan. It's perhaps true that if he had been drafted to a more patient team, I'd be telling a different story today, but whether or not the Leafs "rushed" him, I think mf37 is correct in making a connection to Luke Richardson, not Adam Foote.
It's not a given that more time in junior and/or the AHL would have helped Schenn greatly. His most glaring shortcoming is undoubtedly his skating, and it's unlikely playing more time against weaker competition would have helped that at all. That said, his lack of foot speed gives him less time to make decisions with the puck in his own zone, which is something that he may have worked on in junior. Furthermore, Schenn may have been able to hone his positional awareness - a critical element of any defender's game, but one made even more important by a lack of speed.
Schenn is still a very young player, and it's true that defenders generally take longer to round into form than forwards, so all is not lost. Heck, his point totals have even risen gently each season. A change of scenery has the potential to do him good.
Schenn's defensive numbers at Behind the Net have looked from mediocre to bad over the past few years, and (as suggested by this shot chart) all this is happening while he plays a very conservative brand of hockey.
So Schenn may be an eraser of sorts - he's lead the Leafs in hits every single year since his arrival - but if we just stick to the facts (as opposed to a hypothetical revisionist history) I have difficulty imagining him as anything more.
In short, the Leafs aren't losing anything significant right now, and I doubt they are sacrificing much of a future. All the best to Luke now that he has joined his brother in Philly.
In James van Riemsdyk, the Leafs are acquiring a player much more ready to contribute to an NHL roster. Schenn, for all his perceived upside, was a healthy scratch on a very poor defensive team, while JvR looks like a lock to put up roughly 20 goals, 20 assists, and 40 points, and probably more, if he can find his way onto the first powerplay unit (though he did get considerable time on the PP in Phill).
Similar to Schenn, it's unclear how much growing room JvR really has, particularly since he hasn't drastically improved his point-per-game rate in the NHL over the last three seasons. To be fair, he had injury issues to contend with last season, but a jump start will be required for him to live up to his current $4.25M cap hit.
Brian Burke was emphatic that JvR is not "a big banger", but also that he is very capable of using his size to get where he wants to go in the offensive zone. Just a personal preference here, but I'd rather the Leafs have players that use their size to deploy their skill, not players whose skill is size.
For now, we'll hope for the best and hope that the multi-year deals previously accorded to both players both turn out to be a positive, cost-controlling measure.
As a Leafs fan, I'm cautiously optimistic about this move.
What this trade may mean in a larger perspective for the Leafs is an interesting point of discussion.
Due to the fact that top-line centres are hard to come by, Brian Burke may simply be looking to bolster his offence when and where he can. Going after elite talent is a good idea regardless of the position, so the question (and ensuing semantic debate) about whether or not van Riemsdyk is indeed 'elite' is relevant, but given his age, I am willing to give this deal some time.
Pushing other players down the depth chart is a great thing for Toronto, which now has a chance of icing three very solid lines. Of course, Nikolai Kulemin probably isn't crazy about his chances of being re-signed without a trade, but I'll cling to the idea of a solid top-9 set of forwards for now.
Perhaps the best thing to come from this deal? Leafs fans won't be subjected to any more Brayden Schenn rumours. (Glove tap to Danny Gray on that one.)
June 24 2012, 06:31PM
Oh, man, I hope the Leafs don't sell low on Kulie. Maybe they can get him on a cheap deal, but they should keep him.
I hate to break it to Leafs fans but JVR is not a power forward. He might have the speed, size, and strength to be one but he doesn't play like it all of the time. JVR is still a great forward and I'm going to miss watching him play in Philly but I can't wait to watch Luke Schenn's big hits!

Officials at UMass-Amherst are reporting a malware program has potentially exposed the private health information of clients at a University clinic. The malware was first detected in early April on a workstation at the University's Center for Language, Speech and Hearing, which provides services for people with communication disorders, differences or delays. Spokesman Ed Blaguszewski says a University investigation found the infected workstation contained the patient records of some 1,670 clients, including addresses, birth dates, social security and insurance numbers, and other confidential information.
"There is no evidence suggesting the data was copied from the workstation, but it's possible it could be. And so we have an absolute obligation under the law to notify people so they can be monitoring their records and be aware of any misuse."
Blaguszewski says letters are also being sent to clients whose records were possibly affected. And he says more steps have been taken to improve security at all workstations at the Center.
"That includes installing automated software to detect malicious activity in the future. And we're going to be providing additional training and security practices for current staff and any new staff that come on board to make sure they're following the right protocols to protect the data."
It's still not known who installed the malware, but Blaguszewski says large businesses and institutions like UMass have come under increasing attack from malware probing for sensitive information.

I'm bored so here is another one of my many theories.
Last time we saw Orochimaru he was in Sasuke's mind,my theory is he is still in there but dormant. His powers of taking over bodies are just slow because of Sasuke's seemingly god like powers.Maybe after everythings done and Tobi is dead he reappears by taking Sasuke's body and again holds the title of badest bad guy.

When I saw the pic of Orihime getting stabbed, for split second almost thought Kubo would kill her off too.
I don't see what's the point of doing anything to her when she can just use her powers to remove it. Unless she can't cast her powers on herself.
So Tsukuyomi is a rogue fullbringer, now all that's left is for us to know what the hell they want.

Winless and under-fire Scotland head for Rome on Saturday with their backs to the wall while the Azzurri sharpen their knives.
Winless and under-fire Scotland head for Rome on Saturday with their backs to the wall while the Azzurri sharpen their knives.
It's been a tough campaign so far for the Scots, with more than a touch of the bizarre punctuating the brutal and the below par. Two games, zero tries, and six points do not make for pleasant reading, and that's before we get to the nitty-gritty of the set-piece, the error counts and the tackle statistics.
Scott Johnson's selections and tactics have arguably provided Scottish fans with their greatest source of Six Nations entertainment. The Australian and his coaching staff are keen to emphasise the "project" – the grand plan for Scotland's future. He wants to increase the national team's squad depth, and generate more competition for places ahead of next year's World Cup. The idea is laudable, the methodology is problematic. At best, Johnson's rotations are unfair to current form; at worst, they damage the side's chances of winning games, piling on the pressure.
This week, arguably the pick of Scotland's players in Rounds One and Two – Dave Denton – has been benched, and skipper Kelly Brown is still out in the cold.
Hooker Ross Ford needed a rest; he has real problems striking the ball and his throwing has been poor for months at Test level. He must take a hefty share of the set-piece blame, but the fault does not lie exclusively at his door.
Nevertheless, the criticism and added pressure cannot be doing his confidence any good; as a Scot, I was ashamed to hear a sizeable section of the Murrayfield crowd jeer him from the pitch against England.
The annual clash with Scotland is one the Italians always have their eyes on, all the more so when it is in Rome. The visitors have not won here since 2006, and given their fortunes thus far in 2014, many are justifiably touting the Azzurri as favourites.
The battle up front is certainly one Jacques Brunel and co will be targeting – the Scottish scrum has not exactly proved devastating this season, and the Italians traditionally excel in the tight.
"Man," Scotland Scrum Coach and 69-times capped Italian prop Massimo Cuttitta told me last week, "if we don't match Italy up front, we'll lose."
To that end, watching Alessandro Zanni, Roberto Barbieri and – one of the world's best, and the heartbeat of his side – Sergio Parisse go head-to-head with Ryan Wilson, Chris Fusaro and Johnnie Beattie at the breakdown will be engrossing and fascinating.
There's also the curious case of Tomasso "Tommy" Allan, the former Scotland U20 fly-half who turns out for the hosts on Saturday after pledging his allegiance to Italy. His duel with baby-faced Duncan Weir is vital – neither has set the heather alight yet in this Championship either with ball in hand or with the boot, and whichever can put his pack in the right areas and kickstart his backline is likely to end up on the winning side.
Players to Watch:
For Italy: It has to be bright spark Michele Campagnaro, the surprise package of this year's tournament. Fleet of foot and sharp of mind, the 20-year-old midfielder has the touch of class to make the difference in what is set to prove a tight affair. The apparently superhuman Sergio Parisse is always worth watching too – often, simply to see what he'll pull off next.
For Scotland: We should definitely keep an eye on Scott Lawson, upon whose squat but experienced shoulders much rests after the performances of Ford. The Newcastle Falcon is better equipped to strike in the scrum, and is a more accomplished thrower than the Borderer, but the Scots do sacrifice a measure of power and go-forward without the Kelso man. Elsewhere, the return of Richie Gray to the starting lineup will be interesting; the lofty Glasgwegian has a point to prove after sporadic inclusions in Johnson's matchday squads.
Head to Head: This one will be decided up front and at the breakdown. The set-piece tussle is one the Italians will feel confident about, but the real battle comes when Chris Fusaro takes on Alessandro Zanni and co on the deck. The Fifer has been thrown in at the deep end by Johnson, and with neither Wilson nor Beattie especially adept at the scavenging duties, he simply must have a big game.
Recent results:
2013: Scotland won 30-29 in Pretoria
2013: Scotland won 34-10 at Murrayfield
2012: Italy won 13-6 in Rome
2011: Scotland won 23-12 at Murrayfield
2011: Scotland won 21-8 at Murrayfield
2010: Italy won 16-12 in Rome
2009: Scotland won 26-6 at Murrayfield
2008: Italy won 23-20 in Rome
2007: Scotland won 18-16 in Saint-Étienne
2007:Italy won 37-17 at Murrayfield
Prediction: These games are rarely pretty, and often lack quality. Italy are on the rise, while Scotland are dangerously close to hitting rock bottom, and don't have a strong record in Rome to fall back on. If the hosts get some go-forward, get a rise from the crowd, and get some points on the board, it could be another long day for Johnson's men. But – and I know I'll take some stick for this – I don't think that will happen. The Scots have been stung by a storm of media criticism and are desperate to get their tournament back on track. I'm backing them to take a tight clash by less than five points.
The teams:
Italy: 15 Luke McLean, 14 Angelo Esposito, 13 Michele Campagnaro, 12 Gonzalo Garcia, 11 Leonardo Sarto, 10 Tommaso Allan, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Sergio Parisse, 7 Robert Barbieri, 6 Alessandro Zanni, 5 Joshua Furno, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini, 1 Alberto De Marchi.

Pelosi: Obama one of the most practically non-partisan presidents
Posted By Patrick Howley On 9:14 PM 08/02/2013 In Politics | No Comments
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that President Obama is one of the most practically non-partisan presidents that she has ever seen in her career and that he really is working to forge a budget agreement.
Heres the thing the president is one of the most practically non-partisan presidents I have seen in the White House. Ive been there since Ronald Reagan, and he really is working to try to get some bipartisan agreement. Theyve been working very hard to try to get the Senate consensus or some agreement on how we can avoid a shutdown of government but also how you can even remove all doubt that were not going to honor the full faith in credit of the United States of America by lifting the debt ceiling, Pelosi said Friday in an interview with the USA Today editorial board.
There are some glimmers, a possibility of coming to a grand bargain. The president is talking about a grand bargain for middle-income jobs, but the bigger, the grander the bargain the more you can accommodate, shall we say, other things you dont like so much. But weighing all the equities, this is the way that we need to go forward, Pelosi said.
Pelosi also said in the interview that government spending will help reduce the deficit, and offered a curious response to a question about the Obama administrations delay of Obamacares unpopular employer mandate.
The president didnt postpone the mandate. He postponed the penalties for not engaging in the mandate, Pelosi said.

I've always thought she was on CRACK.
Imagine a delusional person being the ranking member of your party in congress. The Democrats have it!
This is fun to watch;
Yes of course, and she's one of the most practically non-partisan Representatives.
Cough, cough, hack, hack, gag, gag...
When is she finally going to break down and put her plastic surgeon in prison?
Pelosi = mental patient
I truly believe that Pelosi has completely lost her mind and should be in a mental hospital. It is not conceivable to me that she could be a rational human being and say the things she say.
honor the full faith in credit of the United States of America by lifting the debt ceiling, Pelosi said ...
Really can this woman (I use the term loosely.) BE
any more INSANE???
Definitive proof liberalism is a mental disease.
Incredible. One lie after another. These rats could not tell the truth, if their lives depended on it. What really bothers me, is they do it with a straight face.
And in the WH as well. Delusion does delusion. Narcissa applauds Narcissus and they jointly dive into the pool.
can I get some of the drugs she is taking? I desperately need an escape from reality too.
"Partisanship" is when Pelosi's chances of getting her way are next to nil.
The botox has taken over her mind.
Well, you know, in Nancy's case...it really can't be helped.
I mean, like, if your face had been stretched that much...
Keep in mind that Pelosi is 73 years old and dementia already has a foothold with her.
Partisan - par-ti-san: 1. one that takes the part of another: SUPPORTER - 2a. a member of a body of detached light troops making forays and harassing an enemy - 2b. a member of a guerrilla band operating within enemy lines: SYN see FOLLOWER
Right. The Current Occupant of the White Hut is none of these.
Nice try, Nanacy.

This sort of statement that she makes comes easy to pathological liars.
:::Removes hearing aid and bangs it against the counter:::
Dang thing must need a new battery....thought I heard "Zerobamination" and "non-partisan" in one sentence.....
Scary to think she was third in line to the throne of Barack.
I don't understand why any news organization would print that crap. Pelosi is a liar. Liar. L*I*A*R.
Pelosi is and evil Demoncrap and she is full of $hit. Her oval office knee pads are wearing thin.
In 2010, the partisan gap between how Obama was viewed by Democrats versus Republicans stood at 68 percent; in 2009, it was 65 percent. Both were the highest marks ever for a presidents second and first years in office, respectively.
Forging to make a budget agreement? For 2009?
Pelosi is a DINO. So bipartisan to her means Obama gives both the DINO's and the RINO's exactly what they want. He dishes the graft and cronyism equally.
She is either the world's most brazen liar — or she is a certifiable lunatic.
Come to think of it that might not actually be worse...
Those are not mutually exclusive.
Thanks for sharing the link. Quite the contrast...
she perfectly represents her constituents.
Pelosi has a rare talent for making statements that are 100% the opposite of reality.
pe-louse-ee is insane. Her family should involuntarily commit her...for the good of the country.
I'm pretty sure a non- partisan president would not use the IRS as a political weapon to influence an election.
Every time this woman says something stupid I think "she can't possibly say anything more stupid than that". She always exceeds my expectations.
I wish she was no longer on the planet.
Medusa hag.
Pelosi is one of the most non-intelligent women ever.
Now we know why California is in such deep you know what, and she may not even be the worst Democrat in her state.
The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.
Commie Obamas talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obamas first 4 years in office:
* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obamacare Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizens communications
* Use Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obamacare Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress
The existence of Nancy Pelosi is the strongest argument there is against the existence of a good God.
this lady is nuts.....
When is the truth coming out that Pelosi has been succumbing to Alzheimer's for years.
I honestly don't know how this harridan sleeps at night. The constant blatant lying would poison my soul.
