I was watching Top Gear on Dave the other day and the episode I was watching that I do believe was 1st aired in 2009 would have you believe that Ross Kemp drowned whilst in the boot of a Renault Twingo and therefore died.
How ever since this episode of Top Gear aired I have seen Ross Kemp on TV shows such as Ross Kemp: Extreme World on Sky 1.
I am really confused is Ross Kemp dead or not?
Guys and Gals from all around the world, comments are enabled so feel free to leave 1.

btw, anyone else got the feeling law became a shichibukai because of some unfinished business with don flamingo?
It's true to Oda's style. He made us full believe something is going to happen, then gives us something totally different. I mean put it this way;
- He made Big Mam a big target at the end of the last arc
- He had Law ask Luffy to join him in taking down a Yonkou
- He had Kid, another of the supernova who was ranked equal to Luffy and Law (during the Shabondy Arc), sink one of Big Mam's ship
- He showed that Big Mam's crew is full of suit wearing bastards. And had Vergo show up wearing a suit (although hidden behind an overcoat).
- He purposely had a piece of meat/burger stuck on Vergo's face, so that one would assume his a glutton which goes perfectly well with being part of Big Mam's crew.
So many hints about Doflamingo being the mastermind have been given though, just in subtle clues of which have been listed in the past few pages.
As for Vergo's strength, he maybe below that of Doflamingo, but I don't think it'll be by that much. Don't forget that he was a nobody when Flamingo recruited him, and he spent 15 years in the marine force to train and get stronger. Compare that to Luffy and Law, their like babies compared to him. That and his the leader of G-5, the strongest marine base outside MarineFord in all the OP world. You'ld expect him to be able to kick Law's arse wouldn't you.
The only real question that remains now is why Law wants to take down a Yonkou....

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet; all too busy talking about things that don't matter like Joker and shit. The true highlight of the chapter, a very subtle hint Oda just threw at us: Robin is letting Franky sleep on her lap. RobinXFranky is canon, bitches.
I Love You!
It looked like they were tossed in the cell, Franky was still unconscious and he fell over and thus his head was in her lap - they weren't having a "moment" or anything you're reading to much into it.
wow so flamingo has people on the pay roll that high huh. i guess thats one way to bring up a mole. you know what i want to see ussop up up a fight here but what are the chances that happens.next chapter should be awesome. !
I wonder why law doesn't wanna. Take out doflamingo .
He must know some weaknesses about him.
If Nami and Usopp find some way to survive being face-to-face with Ceasar it'll be a small miracle. Of all the crew who do not have Haki, those two definitely don't have it the most.
How many useable Strawhats are left in the wild right now? Zoro...Brook...Chopper...just three?! Well, they definitely have been given weight--let's see them pull it.
Classic Oda name change on Smiley. And Vergo is suitably badass. I used to get the feeling that "Joker" is just a criminal mastermind cause he's a pirate and why not, but learning that he's behind the push to create artificial giants raises a lot of questions. He's got some big plans (no pun intended). Doflamingo is like Croc on crack!
Seeing Luffy imprisoned reminded me of two things: 1) Luffy still cares as much about dying as he did about returning Boa Hancock's advances, and 2) the New World is absolutely no joke.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Photo by Gage Skidmore. CC-SA. Lets briefly move away from electoral predictions and instead consider the following claim: should he be elected in November, Mitt Romney will be remembered as a failed president. In a January 2012 post to the blog Balkinization, Indiana University Professor of Law Gerard Magliocca briefly speculates on why this will be the case by invoking Stephen Skowronek's research. Magliocca suggests that Candidate Romney has the potential to become a "disjunctive" President Romney who leaves office in political disgrace. Through a brief examination of the Romney candidacy I will build on Magliocca's claim and in so doing demonstrate that a Romney victory portends the coming politics of disjunction. Skowronek builds his path-setting book upon one central claim: that "assuming the presidential office and exercising its powers has an inherently disruptive political effect, and that presidential leadership is a struggle to resolve that effect in the reproduction of a legitimate political order" (xii). Presidents are politically and constitutionally disruptive because in swearing to "faithfully execute the Office" they make decisions, take action and wield power. The constitution forces them to subvert the political status quo, thereby leaving politics looking far different on the last day of their terms than it did on the first. Any president's political success is contingent upon his ability to "legitimate" such disruption. Those who do this successfully "control the political definition of their actions, the terms in which their places in history are understood" while those who fail in this task lack legitimacy and find their decisions opposed and undermined by supporters and opponents alike (17). As a consequence, disjunctive presidents are forced to "look to some time in the distant future when people might begin to appreciate the wisdom of what they did" (18). The crucial point in Skowronek's argument is this: it is largely beyond the powers of any individual president to ensure his own legitimacy. Each president takes office at a particular moment in "political time;" a moment at which the prevailing governing regime is more or less resilient (credible) or vulnerable (discredited). Here, regime serves as a stand-in for a combination of the dominant "public ideology" and the relative strength/weakness of each of the two major parties. An individual president's affiliation with or opposition to a vulnerable/resilient regime determines his position "in time" and, in turn, his political fortunes. And whereas a candidate chooses his affiliation, he has no control over regime vulnerability/resiliency because it hinges on the decisions and actions of his predecessors. Consider a comparison between two Democratic presidents – Franklin Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter. Roosevelt took office as the prevailing governing regime, personified by Hoover's Republicanism, was breaking down in the face of its inability to provide a credible way out of the Depression. He took advantage of this by blaming Hoover for the crisis itself and by using this blame to legitimate the New Deal. In this way, FDR occupied the most enviable position in political time because he came to office opposed to a vulnerable regime. He could "legitimate" the New Deal and New Deal liberalism by presenting it as a cohesive package of policy and philosophy better suited to help the country move beyond the crisis than the policies offered by "Hoover Republicans." FDR is remembered as one of our greatest presidents. By the time Jimmy Carter took office the policy and ideological commitments of New Deal liberalism appeared as "failed or irrelevant responses to the problems of the day" (39). With these commitments discredited Carter could not appeal to them to justify his decisions, but he could not repudiate them without putting at risk necessary political support from Democratic allies still wedded to those same commitments. Carter found himself affiliated with a vulnerable regime and had no authority to "control the political definition of the moment." He had no credible justifications for his decisions and actions, and in 1980 he lost to Ronald Reagan. He is remembered as a failed president. This leadership dilemma – being affiliated with a set of governing commitments no longer seen as credible by the public while simultaneously being unable to repudiate them – is the situation Mitt Romney now faces. He must appease the base of the Republican Party by situating himself as an inheritor of "Reagan Conservatism" even as Reagan Conservatism is increasingly discredited. In short, when we look at Mitt Romney, we should see Jimmy Carter. Recent polling provides support for this claim. A majority of Americans now support increasing taxes on the rich and most Americans also believe that material inequality, not government regulation bears responsibility for contemporary economic problems. The public supports additional government regulation of Wall Street, and cuts to the defense budget, while it opposes Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan's proposed budget. A majority also blames President George W. Bush – the most recent incarnation of Reagan – for our current economic problems. On each point, polls show the public rejects Reagan Conservatism and on each point Candidate Romney is on the wrong side of the public. Yet he cannot repudiate these views because they represent central principles of Reagan Conservatism and they retain the support of Romney's closest political allies. Recognizing that he is torn between the increasingly unpopular but inherited commitments of Reagan Conservatism and the need to provide credible solutions to pressing public problems, Romney presents himself as a "skillful technocrat." Or, in the words of his supporters, Romney is a "no-nonsense problem-solver who can turn the economy around." Meanwhile, on the campaign trail, Romney argues that his positions on economic policy are informed by "experience in the private sector" or the role he played in organizing the Olympics. Self-definition as a "pragmatic problem-solver" with positions informed by private employment represents Romney's strategy for legitimating his candidacy and will reemerge should he win the presidency. What's notable about this course of action is that it provides Romney with very little political support. He avoids invoking Reagan Conservatism to explain his policy goals and he avoids providing specific details about his own proposals. Here we see the disjunctive dilemma. Romney risks the support of his base by not enthusiastically embracing Reagan Conservatism, but he risks the support of the broader public by promoting policies that are seen as remnants of a discredited public ideology. All he has left, then, is to elevate "proper administrative methods into a political cause" and to claim a "special insight into the mechanics of government" (40). Such a situation leaves a future President Romney with very little room to maneuver. In an attempt to discredit Obama's tenure, the Romney campaign frequently analogizes his first four years in office to those of President Jimmy Carter. As I've described, invocations of Carter are not unwarranted. But as a future President Romney may learn, they apply more to him than they ever did to President Obama.

Comments: I tell you what it was amazing how you can punch through cover with this bait. I recommend you peg the weight I even put a bead above my knot to protect it. If anything it gave it a little noise. I caught a 23 pound 5 fish bag with this bait. If you need a bait that will catch fish try this with a Reaction Inovations Kinky Beaver. WOW
From: Phil: Terre Haute,Indian,USA
Comments: One word....Awesome! Started flipping this with a yum money craw. Unbelievable action and helps the bait work through the cover so much easier. Caught some fish on Lake Kissimmee with it during a tournament this past weekend. Will be purchasing more of these in different weights and colors!

This product is amazing....Makes any Texas Rig bait look like a Jig, or a larger profile bait..fish could not resist it....Fishing was real slow until I put on the Slither Rig paired up with a Strike King Rodent and first Flip caught a fish....ended up catching 8 fish in a little over an hour!! This product is crazy good and cuts through grass and Lily Pads line nothing!!! Highly Recommend!!! I pegged the Slither rig down and that worked for me!!!

Chris Johnson will take his time before making an on-field debut with the New York Jets.
The veteran running back -- who signed with the Jets in April -- told reporters Thursday that his surgically repaired knee feels good, but he'll probably sit out organized team activities, according to ESPNNewYork.com.
"I think theyâre gonna hold me out of OTAs and just let me continue to rehab until I get 100 percent," Johnson said. "Take it slow, since I have time on my side, and just be ready for (training) camp."
Johnson suffered a meniscus tear in his knee in Week 3 last season with the Tennessee Titans. He played through the injury, finishing with a career-low 3.9 yards per carry. He underwent surgery after the season.
With more than 2,000 touches on his odometer and his 29th birthday approaching, the Jets are going to take a very cautious approach with Johnson this summer. Once he does get to full speed, expect Johnson to be on the winning end of a time-share with Chris Ivory.

Enterprise Networking: Remote Network Access: 10 Signs Its Time to Deploy Updated Control Software
Sign No. 1: The Enterprise Uses Multiple Remote Access Solutions
Having more than one remote access solution in use across data center sites and client systems is not uncommon, but can be redundant and counterproductive. The practice creates confusion, in that support personnel may not know which tool is best suited to solve a particular issue, lengthening the time taken to resolve the problem. Organizations should consolidate their remote access solutions so there's one technology used to securely manage all remote resources, and to take advantage of economies of scale.
IT departments have been pushed to accomplish more with fewer resources for years. While enterprises deploy various solutions to improve efficiencies in numerous parts of the data center, they often overlook an important one that can bring significant benefits: remote network access. IT staffs don't get to choose when something goes wrong, and remote network access is a potent tool enabling them to fix trouble quickly. New-generation remote access and control software packages help achieve and maintain regulatory compliance, ratchet up security and enable support personnel to help employees and customers around the world. Netop, a longtime provider of remote IT system access software for enterprises that is used by 52 percent of Fortune 100 companies, has more than 30 years of experience in this sector and offers some background in this slideshow. Here are 10 signs that an enterprise might need to update remote access and control software.

The Brooks PureConnect is a top choice if you want to get in touch with the road in a lightweight shoe that still offers cushioning and protection.
Since you're considering the PureConnect, you're in the market for a light, nimble running shoe. Our testers, not to mention many of our customers, had a lot of positive things to say about the PureConnect. Where to start?
Well, the upper offers one of the most "glove-like" fits in the running category. This was a positive for most testers – the snug fit helps the shoe to feel like it's a part of your foot. The only area that felt just a touch too cramped for some of our testers was the midfoot. Their feedback was that the shoe's higher arch takes up a bit of room that would be better reserved for your actual foot.
The midsole features the BioMoGo/DNA blend that extends throughout the PureProject line. This uniform midsole creates a very smooth transition, and while the shoe won't be confused with a pillowy high-mileage trainer, there's more cushion here than you might expect. Note that if you're not a supinator or very neutral runner, this shoe may not give you the support you need if you use it as a daily trainer.
To shave weight, Brooks strategically placed areas of blown rubber on the outsole. It's a good idea, but one tester noticed areas of wear in the heel and toe, where the unprotected midsole came in repeated contact with the ground. We haven't heard of problematic wear patterns on this shoe in general.
In total, the PureConnect successfully re-envisions what a lightweight training/racing shoe can be.
Brooks nailed the fit of the upper on this shoe. It almost feels molded to my foot. I'm a bit of a pronator so the ride didn't quite feel stable enough for me, but it was smooth.
Very comfortable forefoot and cushioning, but for me the arch support was too pronounced. It feels like the middle of the shoe is the highest point.
Definitely a firm shoe. I would like a touch more protection underfoot for anything longer than a few miles.

"He got us the first couple times, but all of us we were ready to get in the box the third time and hopefully get good swings on him," the Blue Jays' top prospect said.
Thanks in part to an RBI double from d'Arnaud, the Fisher Cats did just that, plating five runs in the sixth as they beat the Flying Squirrels, 5-3, to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-5 Eastern League Championship Series.
Stevenson did not allow his first baserunner until the fifth, when he issued a one-out walk to Mike McDade. After Jonathan Diaz walked with two outs in the sixth, Jays No. 2 prospect Anthony Gose singled to right for the Fisher Cats' first hit of the night. The 30-year-old left-hander threw three wild pitches, walking Kevin Howard and allowing both Diaz and Gose to score.
Moises Sierra and d'Arnaud delivered back-to-back RBI doubles, while McDade capped the rally with a run-scoring single.
"Our hitting coach, Justin Mashore, brought a bunch of us together and told us to stop chasing the pitcher's pitches and wait for a pitch that we can handle and hit," said d'Arnaud, who was named Eastern League MVP after hitting .311 with 21 homers and 78 RBIs this season. "Sooner or later, he walked a couple people, and finally a few of us got pitches to hit and made sure we didn't miss them."
New Hampshire starter Yohan Pino gave up one run on six hits over 4 1/3 innings before four relievers combined to surrender two runs on five hits over the final 4 2/3 frames. Wes Etheridge (1-0) earned the win after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the fifth by getting Chris Dominguez to hit into a double play.
"Before the game, [Pino] had all his stuff working -- fastball, curveball, slider, changeup," said d'Arnaud, the Fisher Cats catcher. "He was locating and it made my job a lot easier to call the game and have a feel for how he wanted to pitch and go after hitters.
"The bullpen's been outstanding all playoffs. Wes came in and got that huge ground ball that we needed. ... That's what you ask for from your bullpen every day -- put up zeros and help us secure the win."
Deck McGuire, Toronto's No. 3 prospect, will take the ball in Game 4, hoping to close out the series in his hometown of Richmond. In four regular-season outings for the Fisher Cats, he went 2-1 with a 4.35 ERA.
"Ever since he's been up here, I've thought he's an outstanding pitcher," d'Arnaud said. "I'm really excited for him that he's going to go out there and pitch in a championship game, especially in front of his hometown. He'll be extremely focused and ready to pitch and ready to help us get the Eastern League championship."
Giants No. 3 prospect Charlie Culberson was 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored, while Juan Perez contributed two hits and Richmond's lone RBI.

Computers & Business Machines
Imagine the loss, 100 years from now, if museums hadn't begun preserving the artifacts of the computer age. The last few decades offer proof positive of why museums must collect continuously—to document technological and social transformations already underway.
The Museum's collections contain mainframes, minicomputers, microcomputers, and handheld devices. A Cray2 supercomputer is part of the collections, along with one of the towers of IBM's Deep Blue, the computer that defeated reigning champion Garry Kasparov in a chess match in 1997. Other artifacts range from personal computers to ENIAC, the Altair, and the Osborne 1. Computer components and peripherals, games, software, manuals, and other documents are part of the collections. Some of the instruments of business include adding machines, calculators, typewriters, dictating machines, fax machines, cash registers, and photocopiers

The Great American Victory Report Pt. 2: We'd be happy to take Vancouver off your hands
Ryan Lambert
February 18 2010 05:23PM
Howdy folks.
The Olympics are, of course, all about athletic competition, pushing to be the best, and coming together as a global community to celebrate peace and goodwill. But let's be honest here, it's also about winners and losers. Canada may have won its first gold medal last night but I think it's time we took a look at the real winner so far: America.
As far as I know, I'm the only American (read also: non-loser) who writes for the various Nations, and that's why I have taken it upon myself to come here and remind you that the United States has and will continue to dominate "Your Olympics."
Here are several more specific reasons why.
1. Shaun White is literally the greatest athlete in the history of mankind.
That red streak that screamed past every Canadian man, woman and child last night was not any kind of cartoon bird or indeed one of the hundreds of intercontinental ballistic missiles our country has trained on your greatest landmark (the little-used cow shed in Fort MacLeod where Joni Mitchell was born, if I'm not mistaken) at any given time. No, it was Shaun White, the adorable little red-haired scamp who is going to win the gold medal in every single event in which he competes.
With the ability to get close to 30 feet in the air, a height barely matched by Canada's biggest skyscraper, White has time to kill and devour several Canadian endangered species, along with the hopes and dreams of your entire nation, all before doing a 720 triple fakie stalefish tailgrab (that's probably a real thing), curing two forms of cancer and landing with the gold medal already secured lovingly in its rightful place around his neck while teammate and bronze medal winner Scott Lago held back the adoring masses with a picture of hideous Canadian woman Christine Nesbitt.
And this ignores that White can't be bothered to compete in an event like snowboardcross, which is a made-up word. Instead, White let Seth Wescott, another American, win gold instead. Had White competed, however, he would have probably won all three medals and a fourth one invented just for him to further shame Canada.
2. Shani Davis could defeat a fighter jet in a race.
Shani Davis was originally the basis for mediocre superhero the Flash but DC Comics execs thought that no one would believe a human being could move that quickly. Instead, Davis turned his wealth of talent and abilities to speed skating, where last night he won his second gold medal in as many Olympics in the 1,000-meter race. Coming in third in that race was Chad Hedrick. I don't have to tell you, I'm sure, that Hedrick is a proud American hero.
It's funny, by the way. I'm currently looking at all the medalists in men's speed skating, and I don't see one single Canadian medalist. Oh wait, here's one that won a gold and a silver. Or.. no maybe I'm confused. Is yours the country with the kinda red and blue yin yang thing and a bunch of crazy writing on the sides? Oh this says it's South Korea. My bad. I just saw that the guy's name was "Mo Tae-Bum" and, based entirely on the last word in his surname, assumed he was Canadian.
3. Injuries of that type would cripple an ordinary woman, but Lindsey Vonn is no ordinary woman.
With a shin bruise as deep as the Marianas Trench and painful as the Canadian hockey team's inevitable ninth-place finish behind Latvia, Lindsey Vonn bravely hobbled onto the slopes for the ladies' downhill last night.
Staring down from the top of the mountain as though she were Hera looking down from Olympus, she regarded the swelling crowd for a moment, perhaps wondering what it was like for mere humans (or in the case of the Canadians in attendance, subhumans) to witness accomplishments with the gravity of what she was about to achieve. As she pushed off, the pain vanished and as the run continued, so too did Canada's hopes of ever catching the US in medal count.
She valorously defeated all her competitors, human frailty and the mountain itself to earn a prize as golden as her hair and singularly beautiful as the her opponents' gallons of tears.
4. We can even pin our non-successes on your rotten country.
Obviously I want the United States to run roughshod over every opponent it faces, taking all medals awarded at this and every other Olympiad past and future. But sometimes it's just not possible.
Take, for example, our representatives in the respective curling tournaments. So clueless is John Shuster as to how to properly execute with the hammer that, despite having had the final stone in each of America's four matches, this doughy ball of ineptitude has bungled each and skipped the US team to an 0-4 record and a guaranteed non-appearance in the medal round. So I wondered to myself, how could such a thing have happened with an American? Well I looked it up and he's from some small town in Minnesota, not an hour's drive from the Canadian border, and suddenly it made perfect sense. With your weather systems come your loser stink and I'm assuming that each fresh storm from the True North Strong and Free (yeah right) comes a healthy coating of snow and failure to be scraped off windshields and left to melt in gutters, much like any hope of Canadian victory over America.
And what of the women's team, currently 0-2 but and on its way to another healthy loss against Denmark even as I type this? Well as it turns out, the team is skipped by Debbie McCormick. Birthplace: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. No joke.
Very funny, Canada, sending your citizens to infiltrate and destroy our American teams, and rob us of the gold medals we so richly deserve merely for existing.
5. It's still all about medal count.
Just as you'd expect, there's America waaaaaaaaaay up at the top there. A whopping 15 medals, and six of them the glittering gold of American athletic perfection. After that is Germany with a paltry 11 and Norway with a pitiable eight.
Man, I swear I could have heard Canada was competing in these Olympics. You'd think the host country would be able to make some kind of accounting for itself. But here we are and I don't think Canada's won a single medal in any sp.. oh no I found them, way down in a tie for fourth with... hahahaha a tie for fourth with France. That's hysterical. You bozos are only two medals up on South Korea. I didn't even know they had snow there.
But maybe you wanna look at gold medals as the hallmark of true champions. The US leads there as well. Five total. Canada's only got three. One more than China.
And even if by some miracle every American in the Games suddenly drops dead and opens the door for a whole host of second-rate nobodies to clamber onto the medal podiums, the US has such a healthy lead in the Olympic all-time medal count that it would take another century of games for someone to even rival its output. America has won 2,511 medals since the first Olympiad in 1896. The next closest country is Russia/USSR with just 1,204. For those curious, Canada has 379.
So hey buddies, don't sweat it too much. You only need to win 50 medals in every Olympiad for the next 22 years, and hope the Americans win none, to be in our ballpark.
God Bless America!
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
February 18 2010, 05:29PM
February 18 2010, 05:30PM
Some kind of over the top, angry rebuttal because I clearly don't understand satire!
February 18 2010, 05:32PM
What the heck is this fella talking aboot, eh? Why is he being so mean to us? What have we done?
When Canada has nearly 10x the population we currently do to draw athletes from, then we can brag about the extra 2 gold medals we will have at that point. Hoorah!
February 18 2010, 05:36PM
I knew Carrot Top was working out, but Olympic Gold? Good for him.
This one was way funnier than the first.
Not very funny.
I knew Carrot Top was working out, but Olympic Gold? Good for him.
I'd test him for roids!
I'm smiling. I admit it, you made me smile. Well written, even for someone who hails from the Land of Illiteracy.
Damn! I was just gonna throw my Carrot Top reference out.
~Lindsey Vonn sure did well today~
February 18 2010, 06:15PM
Hey back off man. We paid for and built the podiums therefore we own them. Nothing you wrte can change that.
February 18 2010, 06:19PM
The endless deluge of American bloggers and "journalists" all attempting to be funny and/or clever by wagging their dicks around and making fun of Canada just gets better every goddamned day.
Maybe it's time to find a new schtick, TLP. This entire attempt at humor just screams "trying too hard."
February 18 2010, 06:24PM
If anyone needs a pick me up, here's the complete opposite of this article.
"I just saw that the guy's name was "Mo Tae-Bum" and, based entirely on the last word in his surname, assumed he was Canadian."
I have killed people for less.
Ok not really killed but totally deleted them on facebook as friends. But, TLP and I aren't friends on facebook. So I can't delete him....
TLP will you be my friend on facebook?
No wait ... that can't be right.
Oh and also - you have the world pretty figured out for a guy who hasn't figured out how to get himself an avatar on the site.
*pumps fists in victory*
February 18 2010, 07:09PM
Go fist yourself.
I thought the USA was full of fat people.
Pronger and Niedermeyer are killing Canada
February 18 2010, 07:32PM
Pronger and Niedermeyer are killing Canada
They're also hurting the men's hockey team too.
Hey TLP, good on the U.S. for winning more gold medals. I hear Biden saw a Canadian 'Money for Gold' commercial from his hotel room and has already sent off Carrot Top's medal. That 12 Trillion dollars of debt won't pay for itself after all.
February 18 2010, 08:09PM
this is really just funny to read. Kind of sums up the portrayed American attitude.
I hope you watched Gregor after you openly bashed the opponents of Canada (The Swiss) in your show yesterday.
The cockyness is similar to 97 when the WJC team was humbled. I hope this isn't a hard-luck lesson for Canadians who need to remember you need to play the game like the game could be stolen from you tomorrow.
The arrogance of Canadian fans who think we can win just because we're on Cdn soil is scary.
This is freaking great stuff.
February 18 2010, 08:27PM
This is freaking great stuff.
Hey TFL JackAss,
I noticed the cocky ugly American Lindsey Jacobellis didn't even medal this time. Karma is a bitch baby - and that stunting crap that COST her the gold in Turino is coming back to bite her in spades!!!
WAY TO GO Malle Ricker!!!!
February 18 2010, 08:33PM
Mmmmmmm. Malle Ricker.
*wonders into the streets*
Lame post bud. You know what grinds my gears? How Americans can rip on Canada pretty much non stop and as soon as any Canadian stands up and shows some pride they get ripped for being arogant. What a load of crap.
BTW Kimiko Zakreski is 10 times hotter than Vonn. http://jonathancruzfotos.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/kimiko-zakreski-makes-sportsnet-top-10-hottest/
Johnny Weir typical USA man!!!
Great article. Here's another funny story for your Canadian fans:
These articles are really lowering the class of oilers nation. It's unfortunate they are allowed to continue.
Wow, hilarious read lol.
However, at the end of the day it all comes down to the mens ice hockey, and Team USA couldn't even beat the Oilers.
I get what you are trying to do here and it's seems to be working, getting under some Canadian skin. But really are
"rotten country" "you bozos" "loser stink"
really necessary to make your point?

Lifelong Flames fan from the USA. The education system down there really is in a shambles.
his may be unprecedented but has there ever been an occasion where a Nation writer has been banned from the site. You know for maybe the duration of the olympics or some arbitrary amount of time like that?
February 18 2010, 11:25PM
@Ryan Lambert
Seems to me an Aussie usurped the mighty USA snowboard team in woman's half pipe today.
*one fist pump so powerful then entire state of New Jersey has an orgasm*
Isn't that typical, TLP is just trying to make up for the pride he never received as a result of his "non-performance" in his sex life due to his pathetic isty bitsy teeny weenie!
What the Fu@k is with this stunned idiot? I don not come to this site to hear about how good the Americans are? How the Fu#k cares? Do not let this douche bag continue to write on OUR web site...
February 19 2010, 03:15AM
It's good to see that you've mastered the art of counting (next step, addition!), but it looks like you're a long way from understanding humour. The wit on display in this post is somewhere on the level of a 12 year old making gay jokes: ham-fisted, poorly-directed, and a little irritating. Valiant attempt, but unfortunately executed.
February 19 2010, 07:28AM
Take it for what it is and get a laugh. Let's remember, TLP ordered a freaking OLEG SAPRYKIN jersey. To make it worse, he apparently did so on purpose. Consider the source before you start hating on him.
Think of him kind of like your retarded cousin. You know he rambles on and doesn't make any sense but at the end of the day he's going to be sitting in a Depends diaper full of his own rancid fecal matter so do you really need to dump on him for his uniformed ways?
Just kidding TLP.
she's from Calgary too, buddy. another in a long line of strikes against Edmonton.
So... Calgary is a city in Canada last I checked. Not sure though. I'm from Toronto so I really don't care if Edmontonians don't think their girls are hot but when I watch Oilers games I see a lot of hot girls in the stands.
I knew Carrot Top was working out, but Olympic Gold? Good for him.
You got to give it to a guy like Shaun White. It is a great story, being poor & all growing up & now Red Bull built him his own half pipe & gets paid like 9 million dollars a year in endorsements.
He may not be on steroids - but he has wings...look at the videos of the lengths they wen tot build this half pipe in the middle of nowhere.
Isn't this the part where I pull your american jersey over your head and start feeding you some loser Canadian knuckle sandwiches?
This was well written and funny, though it does grate on the ol' Canadian Pride. *EDIT* which I realize is the entire point!

TLP, as much as I hate you for this, it had me LOLing.
Anyone who reads too much into this over-the-top poke at Canada takes themselves too seriously, IMO. It's the Olympics! Let's sh*t talk each other as much as we can before we have to go back to pretending we like each other. ;)
Also, TLP, die. Just die, already.

Hilarious article, TLP.
Some of you guys need to relax and recognize that the point of this article is humour (right, TLP?). Let's all take a step back and remember who the real enemy is:

If tries were a measure of the quality of a match, the Cheetahs' 35-34 victory over the 'Tahs would be a classic – but they're not.
If the number of tries were the measure of the quality of a match, the Cheetahs' 35-34 win over the Waratahs would be a classic. Unfortunately, they're not.
While both sides showed plenty of attacking will, they also demonstrated a chronic lack of execution of basic skills and were woeful in the tackle stakes.
The first half in particular demonstrated the best and worst of the play, with seven tries and 52 points scored but this came at the cost of 23 missed tackles, with the hosts guilty of letting a massive eighteen slip through their grasp.
The Waratahs opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Dave Dennis dived over and got a hand to a loose ball that the Cheetahs had allowed to wriggle loose over their goal-line. It was a sign of the times.
To say that there was no quality would be harsh on both sides, they were not short of effort and many of the five-pointers came from some quality attacking play.
Cheetahs scrum-half Piet van Zyl was the man to profit from a lovely line-out move that brought Ashley Johnson crashing into the line, the big number eight handing the ball off to his team-mate to dive over for their opening score.
Adam Ashley-Cooper and Willie le Roux both made good use of the chip and chase, with Rob Horne the beneficiary of Ashley-Cooper's industry and Le Roux doing so for his second try.
Having gone into the break ten points down, it was the hosts who had the better of the third quarter, notching up two converted tries in the face of a solitary penalty from Waratahs scrum-half Brendan McKibbin.
But, having moved ahead by a point, the two teams showed all the signs of outfits who have come out on the wrong side of close games in the past.
The Cheetahs lost any rhythm that had been built up and kicked aimlessly for much of the final twenty minutes. The 'Tahs were unable to capitalise though.
Berrick Barnes had a penalty from just inside the Cheetahs' half on the angle to take the lead with three minutes to go but his effort was short. The fly-half should have had one more chance to win it in the dying minutes but was denied it. With the Waratahs having carried the ball into the opposing half, just short of the 22 they decided to pick and go one too many times instead of giving the ball to Barnes to attempt a drop. The result was a held up maul and a get out of jail free card for the hosts.
The scorers:
For Cheetahs:
Tries: van Zyl, le Roux 2, Adriaan Strauss, Nel
Cons: Smit 4, S Ebersohn
For Waratahs:
Tries: Dennis, S Timani 2, Horne
Cons: McKibbin 4

Rocky Road Ice Cream Recipe
I scream, you scream, we all scream for...
- Yield:makes about 1 1/2 quarts
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes, plus an overnight chill
This recipe appears in:Meet the Rockiest Rocky Road Ice Cream
The usual rocky road punched up with hazelnuts and white chocolate. It's a rich, dark, buttery, chunky party in your mouth.
Note: Roasting raw nuts yourself yields especially flavorful results. To roast, arrange nuts in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake on the middle rack of an oven set to 350°F. Roast until darker in color and aromatic, about 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, then cool completely. Cover warm hazelnuts in a kitchen towel for 1 minute, then rub with towel to loosen skins.

- 6 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ounces roasted hazelnuts, chopped (see note above)
- 2 ounces roasted almonds, chopped (see note above)
- 2 1/2 ounces dark chocolate (60 to 70% cocoa), chopped
- 2 1/2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 ounces mini marshmallows
In a large, heavy saucepan whisk together egg yolks and cocoa until very smooth and no lumps remain. Slowly whisk in sugar. If mixture is too dry, whisk in 1 or 2 tablespoons of cream to make a smooth paste.
Once the yolk paste is smooth and all the sugar is incorporated, whisk in remaining cream and milk. Put pan over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, until a custard thickly coats the back of a spoon, but a swiped finger leaves a clean line. Strain into an airtight container, stir in vanilla and salt, and chill in refrigerator overnight.
The next day, churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to a container capable of holding 2 quarts or larger, and quickly stir in nuts, chocolates, and marshmallows with a rubber spatula until thoroughly mixed in. Chill in freezer for at least 3 hours before serving.

The Emery County Historical Society held its annual Christmas Social recently at the Museum of the San Rafael.
This was an unusual social event in that the participants were led on a tour of the San Rafael Museum and the Pioneer Museum by Bert Oman.
Oman, in the San Rafael Museum, pointed out items of interest such as the arrow heads, a travois, woven baskets, pottery, grain grinding stones and many other Indian artifacts. Some of these were found in a local cave. There were paintings by Clifford Oviatt and others, to view. The Indian travois was found by the Lake boys while hunting deer. The huge wall mural by Clifford Wyatt depicting the desert in Emery County is something that everyone in the county should see. This museum has a stuffed elk, a deer, a mountain lion,a mountain sheep and a beaver on display.
One wall mural illustrates the various rock formations in Emery County and helps to explain how the coal and gas came to be here.
Oman said that he rode past the cave where some of the Indian artifacts were found many times with out taking time to find out what was inside.
There are several sculptures on display of Western scenes, such as a large Indian head with a headdress, a sculpture of buffalo being driven over a cliff, and one sculpture of an Indian making arrow heads. Most of these bronze sculptures were made by Gary Prazen.
In the museum there is an ultra violet display of rocks found in Emery County. Some of these rocks don't look like much in the daylight, but under the ultra violet light they are quite pretty.
Oman said it took a lifetime of several curators to gather the items on display at the San Rafael Museum. They are always happy to get items that can be added to the museum. Everything in the museum has been found on private ground.
After the tour of the San Rafael Museum the tour group walked across the street to the Pioneer Museum in the Castle Dale City Building on the second floor.
In the Pioneer Museum everyone sampled hot cider, sandwiches, chips and dips while following Oman around to the various rooms looking at pioneer artifacts. On display was an old handcart like the pioneers used and such things as tables chairs, rockers, wardrobes or dressers and clothing all carried across the plains by pioneers in wagons or hand carts. A solid brass bed on display is considered one of the most valuable items in this museum. The solid brass bed cost new $23 dollars and now appraises at $60,000.
Some of the items on display in the Pioneer Museum were cowbells, devices to keep cows from going through a fence, horse hobbles, hay stack cutters, and cross cut saws.
Under a large painting of branding calves was a display of branding irons, including the famous running iron that was used by cattle rustlers.
Ray Wareham displayed two quilts that were made by his first grade teacher Irma Peterson Snow with the names of 33 students she was teaching. The quilts have the embroidered names of each of the students in the first grade that year.
When in the room where tools and things used by ranchers and farmers from Emery County were on display, Oman would hold up a tool or point to a tool, or some other implement and ask if people in the group could identify the item. Some people were able to identify the items readily.
Oman also pointed out the display of tools and equipment used by early miners of this area. Some of these were hand drills used in the drilling of holes for inserting blasting powder to break the wall of coal down so that it could be hauled away.
Oman displayed lye soap made by his mother 45 years ago.
The Pioneer Museum also has the Joseph Smith sword on display. This sword is considered another very valuable item in the museum.
Oman took the crowd into a room representing a fifth grade classroom and pointed out the desk where he used to sit and where he carved his brand. That carving cost him six weeks of daily, one hour detention.
In the Pioneer Museum the tour group enjoyed hearing Annette Cook playing Christmas music on an ancient pump organ.
When the tour of the Pioneer Museum was over the tour went back to the San Rafael Museum for sandwiches, cookies candies, cake hot chocolate and hot apple cider.
In the San Rafael Museum, Kathryn Seely entertained with Christmas stories. There was also entertainment by a singing group Barbara Moore, Doris Walker and Cindy Price singing Christmas songs.

A 28-year-old woman who ran into oncoming traffic on Interstate 25 in Lone Tree early Feb. 17 committed suicide, according to the Douglas County coroner.
Tiffany Engstrom died of blunt-force trauma about 1 a.m. after a pickup truck traveling north on I-25 near Lincoln Avenue struck her. Authorities do not yet know where Engstrom lives. The coroner's office said they believe she is a transient.
The pickup's driver saw the woman running west into the northbound traffic lanes, and tried to avoid hitting her, according to police, but struck Engstrom with the front corner of the truck. Engstrom was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver appeared sober and provided a blood sample voluntarily, but was arrested and jailed after officers learned the driver was operating a vehicle without a valid license.

Acura Preferred Pre-Owned Vehicles Program - The Ultimate Vote of Confidence in a Pre-Owned Acura
Torrance, Calif. (Oct. 15, 1996) - Consider any uncertainty related to the purchase or lease of a pre-owned Acura a thing of the past.
The Acura Preferred Pre-Owned Vehicles offers car buyers Acura pre-owned vehicles of unparalleled quality, and accompanying benefits such as Acura's Total Luxuty Care (TLC) program, an Acura-backed limited warranty, and special new-car financing and lease rates.
"We're sending this strong message to consumers that the best place to buy or lease a pre-owned Acura is at their local participating Acura dealership," said Rich Thomas, Acura's executive vice president and general manager. "No one else offers the combination of quality vehicles, warranty and finance packages, and luxury benefits that we do. That equates to a positive ownershid experience and peace of mind, which is what our Preferred program is designed to provide."
To be eligible for Acura Preferred Pre-Owned Vehicles certifcation, an Acura must be less than four years old and have fewer than 50,000 miles. To be certified, the vehicle must undergo a rigorous 75-point inspection and a complete mechanical and cosmetic reconditioning.
Each Vehicle is then covered by an Acura-backed 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty, and comes with the Acura TLC luxury ownership program featuring new-car benefits such as 24-hour roadside assistance, computerized trip planning, emergency lockout service, trip interruption benefits, and Acura Concierge service. There is also a three-day guaranteed exchange policy on each sale or lease transaction on these vehicles.
The Acura Preferred Pre-Owned Vehicles Program also offers special new-car standard financing rates and terms on leases and retail purchases (up to 60 months) through American Honda Finance Corporation (AHFC).
Over the last 18 months, Acura has completely revamped its entire model lineup, expanding from three volume models to six vehicles in all, including most recently the all-new 3.5RL flagship luxury sedan.

Gorgeous shoes
"I saw these shoes in the store a couple of months ago and I am not proud of it, but, I have seriously been stalking these shoes ever since! I own a few pairs of Marc Jacobs shoes and boots all purchased from DSW thank you very much! These shoes are gorgeous and I can't wait to wear them when it's warmer. They fit perfectly and I am a 8.5 but have to buy a size 9 in MJ because they run a little smaller. Can't beat the price at DSW and since the shoes are so stunning I'm ok with the stalking!"
