Skip to comments.'Duck Dynasty' Migrating to White House Correspondents' Dinner
Posted on 04/27/2013 7:16:22 PM PDT by NoLibZone
"Duck Dynasty" stars Korie Robertson and Willie Robertson just alighted on the swamps of Washington, D.C. ... for an appearance at the White House Corresopndents' Dinner!
Just don't tell Tom Brokaw -- as we previously reported, the legendary newsman is boycotting the event after Lindsay Lohan made an appearance last year ... and that was the LAST STRAW.
(Excerpt) Read more at tmz.com ...
If they are to be condemned for attending, let's condemn the whole table of folks from Christian Broadcasting Network as well.
I like them, I like their show, and I like the prayer at the end of the show before they break bread together.
Their is enough evidence of their faith on You tube, before folks start slinging mud at them.At least their were two points of light in that dark room.
I'm glad they did the "In their faces" thing by attending.
Yeah. Who let the peasants in?
I love it. Just wish they presented Zippy and the Wookie with some squirrel.
Willie and Korie live their faith everyday. They've adopted children, have their own, and believe what they say. I pray they don't get tempted by the pleasures of this world, just as I pray I don't. they'll have more temptations than I, but we all get tempted. Phil knows just what to say or do to keep Willie, and Jase on the narrow path. Si just had an appearance in Spring, Tx last weekend from a crawfish festival, sponsored by bud light. So, was that wrong, too?
[[But; even JESUS got talked about; due to His association with sinners, winebibbers and tax collectors...]]
Jesus wasn't associating with htem, He was givign them God's word-
[[Im glad they did the In their faces thing by attending.]]
Are you sure htat was their motivation for attending?
I honestly believe the Robertsons are a family of faith. Yet faith coupled with today's teachings of many modern main stream denominations does not always equal a conservative political view as shared on Free Republic.
Gee, didn't her husband attend as a guest of FNC last year?
The DD haters are idiots. Do they not even consider the importance of the series?
I'll remember this thread come primary time in LA.
The only point I'm making is that the Robertsons now have a very successful television show that enjoys a great deal of support among those who lean right in this country.
Accepting an invitation to attend a gala at a White House that is occupied by a man most of their supporters view as the antichrist himself, is just plain stupid.
The Robertsons may not have had a partisan thought in their brains when they did it, but that's not the point. They should have known how this would appear to their supporters.
I think the negative reactions from people on this thread come from a couple of things. 1. They are ignorant about the dinner. 2. They beat their chest and like to say "Obama bad" without using brain cells. 3. They don't realize that CBN invited them. 4. Did they ask the DD folks why they were going? No. 5. They probably like to hide in their homes shouting how everything is bad and probably do nothing to change it, or they just like to throw stones at other people because it makes them feel better.
All terrible reasons for someone to change their minds and not go.
You're missing the point.
The Robertsons enjoy the support of millions of people who view the current occupant of the White House as an enemy of the United States.
Attending a party that appears to be little more than a love fest for the Occupant, will naturally produce a less than positive reaction among those who support the Robertsons.
It's a simple human dynamic, and people in the entertainment business err terribly when they ignore it.
Luke 7:34
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
Sounds like 'sociatin' to me!
I refer to ALL in that category as the "NOT a CLUE" folks.
[[Accepting an invitation to attend a gala at a White House that is occupied by a man most of their supporters view as the antichrist himself, is just plain stupid.]]
[[Its a simple human dynamic, and people in the entertainment business err terribly when they ignore it]]
Precisely- Jesus when He went to social events went with the itnent of Givign hte sick peopel God's word (Something that those who are claiming that it's ok for robertsons to attend a den of thieves murderers and liars because Jesus went to social events simply to party leave out)- I doubt the Robertson's went to white hosue party for such a purpose
30 And the Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, 'Why do you eat and drink with the tax-gatherers and sinners?' 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, 'It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.'
Your point abotu
Of course it is fake. It is a reality TV show!
They are?
Actually if they are aware of it I'd be even more impressed they would go. I think your point makes it all the more obvious and it's not really about the enemy in the White House(which by going doesn't show support of) but rather it shows the pettiness of people that say they have Christian values. The hate in people's hearts is the real tragedy here. I think Obama is a disaster, but I'm not going to hold the Robertsons to missing out out a correspondence dinner simply because Obama is in the White House. It's petty, childish, and just plain sad.
I hear you, but our personal opinions on what they did, are beside the point.
Simply stating the obvious, the Robertsons did something that many of their fans are going to disagree with, and some will even be offended. So much so, that they'll tune out the show.
What they did is not smart business. Bottom line.
Sure they are, and just like you and I, they're free to make whatever boneheaded choices they want to.
The Robertsons have a television show. It's a business. By attending the White House correspondent's dinner, they came very close to touching a third rail in the entertainment business, which is partisan politics.
I haven't even voiced an opinion on what they did. I've only made the observation that it was a poor business move on their part, which it was.
I'm sure Phil would tell them he had a beaver dam to take out or something but Willie. That boy's a Yuppie with a Yuppie wife and Yuppie house. Yup.
Not true. Entertainers' box office, Nielsen, and record sales suffer when they touch the third rail of partisan politics.
Witness the fate of the Dixie Chicks, whose comments abroad about GWB crashed their music career. Those ladies never recovered from that faux pas.
On the flip side, there are countless insider reports of conservatives in the entertainment business who fly under the radar to protect their careers from being trashed by leftist retaliation for their views.
How many times have you seen Freepers say, "I'll never buy another one of his records" after hearing that some popular recording artist supports the left wing agenda?
How many times have you seen people boycott or support retailers, due to some partisan stance of the company? It happens all the time.
It's just a fact. Many consumers make choices based upon an entertainer's or businesses' political views. Knowing this, astute business people steer clear of the area. I know I do, in my own business. I've actually lost liberal customers when they became aware of my politics.
come on guys, be real. Why do you like Duck Dynasty in the first place? Probabley for the same reason I do. They bring "real family values" back to a country that seems to have forgotten what it was founded on.
Think about it. Say you went from nothing to a millionaire, and you got a phone call one day from the President and he invited you to the White House, would you say "NO Mr President, I don't like you so I'm not going to come". What if your kid had won a state championship and the President had invited his team to the white house, would you tell him that he could not go.
Maybe they, (the Robertsons) will have some kind of positive effect. Just because they are going, or have gone, or whatever, doesn't mean that they are bad people, cause they are not. I'm just saying that it would be hard for ANYONE to say "NO" to the President.
Just something to ponder over a bit.
Thanks for letting me voice my opinion.
Agreed..I enjoy the show too & have a weird/strange crush on Phil!? even though i'm several years younger :)) but there's something about him.
In a subdivision, no less. ;)
Ok assuming your last line is correct. I mean isn't the whole deal with Christian right beating their chest on morals and values by nature not smart business. Are conservatives now the cold and calculating party? I guess I should realize that there are Christians and Conservatives who are both but may lead more to smart business as opposed to morals and values. But I guess what I'm saying is the group that is critical because their of the morals and values lot is hypocritical in the sense that with all that hate in their hearts it clouds their judgment and invokes them to throw stones where no stones need to be thrown.
I also realize that's a little off your point. I get what you are saying too. I just don't think as value centered as they appear to be that could give a rip about smart business.
The coin definitely flips both ways.
I very much admire Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby for taking the conservative stands they have, but I know they lost a lot of left-leaning customers because of doing so.
The phrase, "Shut up and sing" comes to mind. Consumers are interested in the products and services that businesses and entertainers provide to them, and are more than willing to pay good money to have them.
What turns them off, is when a business or entertainer steps outside the bounds of that relationship and takes a public stand which they disagree with.
First thanks for the refreshing honest conversation.
Second with what you said about an entertainer stepping out of bounds, what I find confusing is that it wasn't like DD people came out and said they were for gay marriage. They simply attended the correspondence dinner on behalf of CBN no less. They didn't take a stand, all they did was attend a function he was at. For all we know they decided to go and talk about their beliefs and see if they could help change any minds. That's the troubling part to me.
You're very welcome. I'd much rather talk than argue any day :-)
...what you said about an entertainer stepping out of bounds, what I find confusing is that it wasnt like DD people came out and said they were for gay marriage.
Well, it really wasn't a 'gay rights' event, so I never had any thought about that aspect of it anyway.
In my opinion, the very fact that the Robertsons, who are now known to be (more or less) right-leaning, Christian people, would even think of attending a dinner at a White House occupied by a man who is the polar opposite of the things (I think) they believe in, was kind of stunning.
As to their motivations for attending, I can't assign one at all. I wouldn't know what their reasoning was unless they made a statement of some sort, and I haven't seen one. It's a bit of a mystery to me.
Even more-so, given the fact that most of their fans can't stand Obama.
But what you said is to my point precisely. Nobody knows there motivation due to lack of information. Everyone is jumping to conclusions. To me that makes people look childish.
They showed up. Nuff said.
I don't think people are being childish at all.
Obama is a monster on par with some of the worst despots in history. What would you think of entertainers who partied with Hitler during the pre-war period? There were lots of people who correctly fingered Hitler for the monster he was, and they were duly appalled by famous people who were cozy with him.
Charles Lindbergh was an American celebrity of the day, who spoke approvingly of Hitler, and he wasn't alone. There were lots of mush minded liberals who thought he was just great, and even some decent conservatives were blinded by his hype and propaganda.
Today we can look back with 20/20 hindsight and see how ignorant those people were, but at the time, many people's vision was clouded. Recall that Hitler was even Time Magazine's Man of The Year at one point.
No, I don't think people are going too far in condemning the Robertsons for attending Obama's media shindig. By showing up, they gave the appearance of tacit approval of the regime. Not good, and it's going to be reflected in their ratings.
Well that's where we will have to agree to disagree. Comparing Hitler to Obama is sort of like comparing Kittens to Lions. Obviously time could prove me wrong but at this point with the info we have you are making a ridiculous comparison.
Again this tacit approval thing is in again ridiculous. Sort of like saying protestors showing up at Obama rally are giving tacit approval just by showing up.
This kind of distain is what I'm talking about. He is bad for this country, he is a socialist, he "may" want to be a dictator. But this kind of ridiculous hatred is just sad to see. I hope you reflect on that.
And here I thought we were having a civil conversation. Silly me.
I'm not sure what how what I said isn't civil. Did I call you names? No. If you are calling Obama, Hitler, it's obvious you have hate in your heart. That's not an insult. Rather it's an obvious insult to history and what Hitler did. Again I'll give you in time I may be proven wrong, but not yet, not now.
If? Why don't you read what I posted again and note that I did no such thing. I only used Hitler as a convenient analogy to show how ignorant Americans are responding to Obama.
You said Obama was on par with the worst depots in history. And then suggested your analogy to Hitler. How did I read that wrong again?
Yes I did, but I didn't ever say they were the 'same'. There are a lot of similarities in their careers, but they're just similarities.
I was making an entirely different point, but it got washed out by my mention of Adolf Hitler. Funny how his name still has so much power after all this time. Let us hope that Obama doesn't cause enough harm to merit similar reactions in the distant future.
Obama right now is more akin to what you find in modern day Europe.. now Pol Pot, the Kim's, Hitler, Stalin or anyone else.
I would have written..."Go Duck yourself" on the invitation and sent it back.
Weird. They are not also newsmen are they?

The teams for Saturday and Sunday's final round of LV= Cup Pool action have been announced. We bring you all the line-ups.
The teams for Saturday and Sunday's final round of LV= Cup action have been named. We bring you the XVs.
London Wasps v Sale Sharks
Sale are bidding to reach a first Anglo-Welsh semi-final since 2007 when they take on London Wasps at Adams Park on Saturday.
London Wasps cannot progress to the semi-finals of the LV= Cup – a 34-8 defeat to Leicester last Saturday ended a six-game winning run in all competitions.
Wasps do, however, have a perfect played 10 won 10 record at Adams Park this season.
Sale Sharks need a bonus point win to guarantee their place in the last eight – less and they will need to outscore Leicester by at least one match point.
The Sharks have lost all eleven away games they have played in all competitions this season. The two sides have never met in the Anglo-Welsh Cup before, whilst Wasps won 25-18 when the two met in the Premiership on December 23.
The teams:
Wasps: 15 Tommy Bell, 14 Jack Wallace, 13 Jonah Holmes, 12 Charlie Hayter, 11 Tom Varndell, 10 Stephen Jones, 9 Charlie Davies, 8 Sam Jones (c), 7 Matt Everard, 6 Tinus Du Plessis, 5 Marco Wentzel, 4 James Cannon, 3 Will Taylor, 2 Nathan Morris, 1 Zak Taulafo.

Gloucester vs Bath
Gloucester cannot reach the semi-finals of this season's LV= Cup, so will be playing for pride instead when they host Bath.
Gloucester's last seven encounters in the tournament since they won the 2011 final have all been won by the home side on the day. Gloucester's only defeat in the Anglo-Welsh Cup at Kingsholm was to Cardiff Blues (25-26) on 8 November 2009.
Bath are attempting to reach a second successive LV= Cup semi-final and need to outscore Northampton by at least one match point to do so.
Bath have won their last three matches in all competitions but all three have been at The Rec. Bath's only victory on the road since October was 39-5 at Calvisano in the Amlin Challenge Cup on 15 December.
Bath have won just one of their last ten encounters with Gloucester in all competitions: 24-8 at The Rec in the Premiership on 27 December 2009. Bath's most recent victory over Gloucester at Kingsholm was 18-15 in the Premiership in February 2006.
The two teams have met twice before in this tournament: Bath winning 21-12 at The Rec in December 2005 and Gloucester victorious at Kingsholm )30-12) a year later.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Mike Tindall, 12 Tim Molenaar, 11 Shane Monahan, 10 Ryan Mills, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Andy Hazell, 6 Peter Buxton, 5 Lua Lokotui, 4 Tom Savage, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Dan Murphy.

Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Kane Palma-Newport, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Mat Gilbert, 21 Chris Cook, 22 Semesa Rokoduguni, 23 Jack Cuthbert.
Date: Saturday, February 2
Kick-off: 14:00
Venue: Kingsholm
Referee: Ian Davies (Wales)
Assistant referees: Nigel Carrick (England), Paul Burton (England)
Timekeeper: Matthew Peters (England)
Assessor: Jerry Wallis (England)
Worcester Warriors v Saracens
Worcester need a bonus point victory to keep their slim hopes alive for a first ever Anglo-Welsh semi-final spot when they host Saracens on Saturday.
But the Warriors may already be out if Sale gain a single league point from their earlier match.
Home advantage will count in Worcester's favour though as the only defeat in their last ten encounters at Sixways in all competitions was to Leicester on January 4.
Saracens may already be eliminated if London Irish did enough to qualify on Friday at Cardiff. If not Sarries will need to outscore the Exiles by at least one match point to progress to a first LV= Cup semi-final since 2010.
Saracens have won their last seven matches in all competitions.
The two clubs have mer once before in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, at Vicarage Road in round three last season with Saracens winning 41-14. Saracens have not won at Sixways in any competition since October 2007 (21-16) in the Premiership.
The teams:
Worcester: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Jon Clarke, 12 Josh Matavesi, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Blair Cowan, 7 Jake Abbott, 6 Richard de Carpentier, 5 Craig Gillies, 4 James Pervical, 3 John Andress, 2 Aleki Lutui, 1 Ceri Jones.
Replacements: 16 Ed Shervington, 17 Rob O'Donnell, 18 James Currie, 19 Matt Kvesic, 20 Neil Best, 21 Paul Hodgson, 22 Danny Gray, 23 Andy Short.
Saracens: 15 Joe Maddock, 14 Jack Wilson, 13 Sam Stanley, 12 Adam Powell, 11 James Short, 10 Nils Mordt (c), 9 Ben Spencer, 8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Nick Fenton-Wells, 6 Justin Melck, 5 Alex Rae, 4 Alistair Hargreaves, 3 Petrus du Plessis, 2 Jamie George, 1 Nick Auterac.
Replacements: 16 John Smit, 17 Richard Barrington, 18 Matt Stevens, 19 Maro Itoje, 20 Jackson Wray, 21 Luke Baldwin, 22 Chris Wyles, 23 Ben Ransom.
Date: Saturday, February 2
Kick-off: 15:00
Venue: Sixways Stadium
Referee: Tim Wigglesworth (England)
Assistant referees: Robin Goodliffe, Paul Dix
Timekeeper: Laurie Bryant (England)
Exeter Chiefs v Northampton Saints
Exeter Chiefs realistically need a bonus point win over Northampton to give themselves any hope of reaching the LV= Cup semi-finals for the first time.
But even that will be academic should Harlequins gain two points from their game on Sunday.
The Chiefs have lost their last four games in all competitions and are also winless in their last three encounters at Sandy Park.
Northampton Saints

Summary : Chart a course through the Drake Passage heading directly south to the Antarctic Circle. The farther south you go, the more sea ice you will find and the goal is to cross the circle before being stopped by this ice. Throughout your adventure, your highly experienced expedition staff will provide excellent customer care in a casual and active environment--daily hikes, kayaking excursions for those who sign up and daily Zodiac rides. Discover an unimaginable profusion of penguins, whales cresting the waves in close proximity, and sweeping ice sheets that span an entire continent. Explore Petermann Island or Wilhelmina Bay where you encounter colossal icebergs and, of course, the ice landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Hardy adventurers or those with a yen for history have the chance to camp out on the ice overnight and feel the thrill and audacity of early explorers who attempted to conquer this continent.

Today is the first day of your adventure. As you board the Akademik Sergey Vavilov in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city at the tip of Argentina, and start to become familiar with 'your home' for the next 13 days, you cannot help but wonder about the exciting journey ahead of you. In the early evening, set sail and begin your voyage leaving behind Ushuaia and charting a course through the Beagle Channel.
Crossing the Drake Passage, there is so much excitement in the air as you make your way ever closer to the white continent. Soak up the friendly atmosphere onboard as your numerous Polar experts prepare you for your adventures with presentations on everything Antarctic, from wildlife to history. Eventually, you will cross the Antarctic Convergence where you will notice a distinct drop in temperature as you enter the waters of the Antarctic Ocean. Along the way, you will witness many spectacular sights from icebergs to an array of seabirds and even several whale species, some of which are known on occasion to fully breach from the sea.
As you leave this magical place and make your way north, heading again across the Antarctic Convergence and the Drake Passage before rounding Cape Horn, there is no doubt that time will be spent sharing and reflecting on the wonderful experiences of the last few days. Sailing down the Beagle Channel, celebrate the conclusion of your Polar expedition at a special dinner.
In the waterways of the Antarctic Peninsula, make as much time as possible to explore by inflatable Zodiac boats and marvel up close at nature's glory. Your first goal will be to sail south of the Antarctic Circle and into Matha Strait or Marguerite Bay. Given favorable ice conditions, push your exploration even further southward, looking for historic and wildlife sites. From your most southerly point (south of the Antarctic Circle), will make your way north along the Antarctic Peninsula, cruising through the narrow waterways and channels of the Antarctic Peninsula. Spectacular waterways such as Crystal Sound, the Lemaire Channel, the Neumeyer Channel and the Gerlache Strait will all feature in your itinerary. Landing sites might include Neko Harbour, Wilhelmina Bay, Petermann Island and the Yalours, where you will observe Weddell, crabeater and elephant seals, skuas and other seabirds, as well as an abundance of penguins including some very large colonies of the comical Adelie penguin. At Half Moon Island, visit a breeding colony of chinstrap penguins that share their territory with fur seals and blue-eyed shags. Hope to see the gentle humpback whale dining on krill in its feeding grounds and possibly have an opportunity to spot orcas and Minke whales as you go. Plan on walking ashore on the continent of Antarctica at Paradise Harbour or Neko Harbour. Although it will not be your first glimpse of the Antarctic, a walk ashore on the Continent will evoke emotions to carry with you for the rest of your life. The scenery here is amazing. In particular, the oddly shaped sculptural icebergs, as well as the colossal 'tabular' icebergs that break away from the continent's ice shelf. Some may wish to camp on shore overnight. Whatever your vantage point, whether it is on board or onshore expect to feel transformed as you experience twilight from the very bottom of the planet.
In the early morning, you will arrive back in Ushuaia. It is time to say farewell to your crew and fellow travelers. Guests will be transported to their hotels or to the airport for return flights home.
The above itinerary is a guide only, as the exact program depends on weather and ice conditions and the wildlife you encounter. Flexibility is the key to the success of this expedition.

The Gift of Stuttering and Animals
This week's guest, Alan Rabinowitz, stuttered as a child with such severity that he would sometimes go into twists and spasms when he tried to speak. He hadn't even spoken a full sentence to a human being until high school.
The audio above is excerpted from a section of the unedited interview that we reluctantly had to cut for time. Rabinowitz goes into detail about this childhood stutter and explains the journey he undertook to becoming a "fluent stutterer." Listen to his moving account in which he describes how these extreme tactics, including electro-shock treatment, ultimately led him to find his voice, and why that drove him into a life as a wildlife biologist and conservationist.

Ship Weight:1.15 Servings:3 Dosage:6 oz. Flavor:Orange Pineapple Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product Protica Nutritional Research - Protein Gem Gelatin Snack 3 Pack Orange Pineapple - 18 oz. (532 ml) Protica Protein Gem Orange Pineapple Gelatin Snack is the original protein-fortified gelatin snack. This on-the-go treat provides 25 grams of protein and one full serving of fruit in each 6-ounce cup. Protein Gem is heat-stable and cold-stable, so it maintains its gel strength in the fridge and on the go. Protein Gem contains zero fat and 5 grams of fiber. Protein Gem Features Heat & Cold Stable Hypoallergenic Preservative Free Cholesterol Free Lactose Free Fat Free (no saturated or trans fats) Aspartame Free GMO Free Egg Free Stimulant Free Low in Sodium Yeast, Wheat and Gluten Free From the makers of the first protein shot (Profect), the first meal replacement shot (Isometric), and the first fruit and vegetable shot (Fruitasia), Protica introduces Protein Gems, a fun, convenient way to get the dense nutrition your body needs. Protein Gem is recommended when high-density nutrition, high bioavailability, low allergen content, low glycemic index, or excellent palatability (taste and texture) is a critical requirement. Protein Gem is heat-stable and cold-stable, so it maintains its gel strength in the fridge and on the go. More About Protein GemProtein Gem protein snack is indicated for a broad range of special medical needs. It is also used to support a healthy lifestyle. For health and exercise enthusiasts, Protein Gem conveniently provides 25 grams of protein, one full serving of fruit, five grams of prebiotic dietary fiber, zero carbohydrates (no sugar), and zero fat in a ready-to-eat six-ounce cup. For medical patients with special protein needs, Protein Gem provides critical nutrition. Protein Gem protein therapy is recommended for patients when high-density nutrition (i.e. maximum grams of protein per fluid ounce), low glycemic index, low allergen content, high bioavailability, or excellent palatability is a critical requirement. Oftentimes, patients with special dietary requirements have difficulty consuming protein because they cannot tolerate the taste, the volume, the protein allergens, or the protein structure (eg. large or denatured protein molecules). Protein Gem addresses these challenges by providing 25 grams of Actinase™ in a ready-to-eat form. Actinase is an all-natural protein compound with the following characteristics: PalatableActinase has a very neutral organoleptic profile (i.e. the characteristics related to the sense of taste and smell). Actinase also has a smooth texture. These features provide the foundation for the palatable flavors without the use of heavy flavorings or sweeteners. Hypoallergenic To understand how and why Actinase is hypoallergenic, a brief explanation of hydrolization is required. Actinase undergoes a process called enzymatic hydrolysis. This process breaks protein molecules into smaller units called peptides. The average molecular weight of the peptides in Actinase is 1,400 daltons ("dalton" is the unit of measurement for atomic weight). The human body can readily digest and absorb peptides, which is why they are also used in infant formulas. A byproduct of the hydrolization process is that many of the allergens typically found in proteins are removed. Highly BioavailableActinase is easy to digest because the protein molecules are enzymatically hydrolyzed to form peptides (i.e. small protein molecules). Peptides are easier for the body to digest and assimilate. ConcentratedThe molecular structure of Actinase is extremely dense, making Protein Gem the most concentrated protein gelatin snack on the market. Protein Gem provides more protein per ounce than any other protein snack. This unique characteristic allows patients to consume ample amounts of protein in a very small fluid volume (eg. 25 grams of protein in 6 fluid ounces).

|In response to Re: Emergency daytime plumbing rates
: What constitutes a "daytime emergency"? If it is before 8:00 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m. it would be overtime. Otherwise it should just be the regular rate times the amount of time used.
: : Had to have a plumber come out first thing the other morning and replace a well pump. also, had him replace two captive air tanks. I think his rate was more than exorbinant. What is a range of acceptable daytime emergency rates for the central Ohio area? Anyone have any idea? Appreciate any information.

Constable was repeatedly occupied with the motif of the Lock during the 1820s – it could be regarded as his favourite subject. At the Royal Academy in 1824 he exhibited the fifth in his series of six large canvases of Stour Valley scenes, a painting with a vertical format he subsequently called The lock (Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection on loan to the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid), depicting the entrance to Flatford Lock viewed from the same spot as this drawing. Constable made at least two other upright versions of this subject in 1824 (Philadelphia Museum and Art Gallery, and private collection). He then converted the vertical composition into the horizontal format of A boat passing a lock1826 .
This is Constable's earliest known drawing of the composition for the Lock series of paintings. It was made during a visit to Flatford in the spring of 1823. On 21 February 1823 he had told Fisher that he had 'put a large upright landscape in hand', which he hoped to have ready for that year's Academy (Beckett VI, p. 112) – that is, before making this drawing he was already working on a vertical Lock painting. The drawing resembles the vertical paintings in that the barge is in the lock chamber waiting to pass into the lower level of the River Stour and travel downstream; and a horse is in the fields on the left. The image does not extend to the right to show Flatford Bridge, as in the horizontal paintings. And unlike any of the paintings of the subject, in this drawing Constable depicted the lock keeper on the far side of the lock.
Leslie Parris and Ian Fleming-Williams have pointed out that in this drawing Constable recorded repairs to the lock made in 1820, with a new angle brace fitted to the near side post, which he did not include in any of the subsequent paintings (Tate 1991, pp. 455–56). The paintings show the entrance in a dilapidated state, with some of the timbers rotting and the bank overgrown with plants. This alsosuggests that Constable had begun working on the painting(s) before his visit in April 1823 (and viewing the lock in a state of repair); or that he preferred to depict the lock in its more 'ruinous state'.

If Timothy Bradley defeats Juan Manuel Marquez on Oct. 12, a matchup of unbeatens with Floyd Mayweather could be a possibility
As Timothy Bradley stumbled against the ropes on rubbery legs during the second round of his brutal fight against Russian slugger Ruslan Provodnikov in March, the welterweight champ, already concussed and seemingly out on his feet, searched for inspiration, anything to get him through the toughest predicament of his career.
"I had a visual of my little daughter when I was out on the ropes," Bradley told USA TODAY Sports. "I thought about my family. I thought about losing everything.
"It just made me come out of that dark place, man, and I wasn't willing to go down. And I fought back, I fought back, man, and the ref won't stop the fight as long as you're throwing punches."
Despite the concussion, Bradley recovered sufficiently to lay his own punishment on Provodnikov over the next several rounds. And even though he nearly didn't make it through the 12th, taking a knee seconds from the final bell, "Desert Storm" came away with a unanimous decision victory to keep his perfect record intact at 30-0.
For Bradley, the costly victory finally brought with it something the 29-year-old fighter from Palm Springs, Calif., has been aching for his entire career.
"I think a lot of people gave me respect and gravitated toward me after that fight, after they saw the heart and determination and the will that I have to win a fight even when I'm faced with adversity or even if I do get hurt," Bradley says.
"It's going to take a really good fighter to beat me I've always said they've got to be perfect to beat me because they won't be able to stop my will."
Bradley's manager, Cameron Dunkin, said watching his fighter get hit so hard and so often was pure agony. He said he had to get up and walk away a few times.
"To watch him get hit like that, it wasn't good, and not enjoyable," Dunkin said. "It's hard to sit through, and it was really hard on Monica (Bradley's wife), and hard on his mother.
"Very few people would have gotten through that or got up in the last round, but I don't ever want to see him do it again," Dunkin told USA TODAY Sports. "I told him, 'You proved your point. We know you've got guts. But please, never again.'
"I know he could have made it an easier fight. Tim can really box, as you saw with (Manny) Pacquiao, and he doesn't need to get hit like that."
Bradley gained no respect after his highly controversial victory against Pacquiao in June 2012. The split decision was so inflammatory that the WBO, which sanctioned the title bout, had a five-person panel watch afterward and it agreed unanimously that Pacquiao won. Even the Nevada attorney general was asked to investigate.
The outrage over the decision, from the media and the public, and even from his promoter, Bob Arum, sent Bradley into a depressed funk.
"Anybody that don't get credit for something that you did, especially at this point in my career ... I was supposed to be one of the elite fighters in the game and not to get that credit, man, after beating a guy like Manny Pacquiao, I think that would depress anybody that has come to the point where I'm at, trying to become a superstar in this sport," Bradley says. "Yeah, I was very depressed.
"Those days are past me now, I'm trying to move forward in my career. I just need to have great fights for my fans and fulfill my legacy and beat the best out there."
Bradley turned down $6 million for a rematch with Pacquiao and instead will put his welterweight title on the line against Mexican great Juan Manuel Marquez, coming off a sixth-round knockout of Pacquiao, on Oct. 12 (HBO pay-per-view) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs) will be 40 years old by then.
"I'm looking to add to my legacy," Bradley says. "Was there more money to fight Pacquiao? Yeah, a million more bucks. But the thing is by fighting Marquez, who's a legend in the game and just knocked out Pacquiao, I feel that would do a lot more for my résumé than fighting Pacquiao and again going down that dark path that I just came out of after I fought Provodnikov."
Fighting Marquez, Bradley says, is potentially profitable for both men. "In order to be the best you got to beat the best," Bradley says. "Marquez is considered the best fighter in the world, next to Floyd Mayweather Jr. I want a shot at that.
"I'm the world champion and he wants something that I have and I want something that he has. He has star quality, tons and tons of fans and he's been in great fights. He's a living legend. I want that on my résumé. And he wants that title, the WBO championship. He wants to win five belts in five different weight classes."
Bradley, who fought Pacquiao after injuring both of his ankles during the fight – he was brought out to the post-fight news conference in a wheelchair – says he has fully healed from the Provodnikov fight.
"It took probably about two months to get all my wits about me," he says. "My speech was slurred for awhile, now it's back. It's just like any wound, it takes time to heal. It's healed now.
"I'm getting the proper therapy for it, and working out and making sure that that doesn't happen again."
Though Bradley has said that to beat Marquez, "I'm willing to endure so much pain; I'm going to hell and back and probably back to hell again," he is cognizant of the importance of his health.
"Health is the most important thing," he says. "Not boxing, not money. If I'm not 100%, there's no need for me to be in the ring."
If Bradley defeats Marquez, Dunkin hopes his fighter is finally recognized for what the manager believes his fighter is.
"He's one of the two or three best fighters in the world and he's never gotten his just dues. He's one of those guys who finds a way to win," Dunkin said. "Is he a great puncher? No. Is he the slickest boxer in the world? No.
"But he's very physical and if he has to fight, he'll fight. If he has to box, he'll box. Whatever he has to do, he finds a way to win. I literally think he's as good as any fighter in the world right now."
If Bradley beats Marquez, will his quest to fight the best put him on a collision course with pound-for-pound king Mayweather? Though it would be difficult to make such a fight because of the ongoing cold war between Bradley's promoter, Top Rank, and Mayweather's promotional representative, Golden Boy, Bradley is intrigued.
"Why not? Two undefeated fighters going at it. It would definitely be a huge fight," Bradley says. "Floyd is the best fighter in the world right now. But he's the best until he fights me."
Dunkin believes fans and media will clamor for Mayweather-Bradley if both win their next fight. Mayweather takes on one of his toughest opponents in undefeated Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 14. Dunkin believes the fight can be made.
"It's doable. I've always thought it's doable," Dunkin said of a Mayweather-Bradley matchup.
"I told (Top Rank President) Todd (duBoef), 'He's fought everybody, and to hold one guy away from him after all he's done is really unfair,' " Dunkin said. "Todd agreed and said he wouldn't get in the way. If Tim beats Marquez, my goodness, Mayweather-Bradley is a fight that should happen, and I think it can be done.
"And Tim will surprise a lot of people in that fight, too."

Italy will want to be at their best for a full 80 minutes when they face a rejuvenated Wallabies side in Florence on Saturday.
Italy will want to be at their best for a full 80 minutes when they face a rejuvenated Wallabies side in Florence on Saturday.
The Azzurri showed last week that if they apply themselves they have the ability to compete with the best.
Despite losing 42-10 to New Zealand in Rome, Jacques Brunel's charges managed to frustrate the All Blacks for 60 minutes and were still in the game before the world champions' superior fitness levels proved telling in the final quarter.
Scrum-half Edoardo Gori knows they will have to show improvement against the Wallabies, who are on a high after a fine all-round display in their 20-14 win over England last week.
"It will be a big challenge for us," he said.
"Australia arrive on the back of an impressive victory over England and are one of the best teams in the world.
"We have to try and do for eighty minutes against Australia what we did against the All Blacks for 60."
Brunel, is a shrewd tactician who would have put that result to bed and knows that the Wallabies are a side that presents their own challenges.
"We're playing against a really top level team which, in their last outing against the All Blacks put them in difficulty before drawing the match 18-18," he said.
"Even though Australia suffered a heavy defeat against France they bounced back to beat England last week."
Despite impressing in Saturday's win over England, Australia have been very inconsistent in 2012. Over their past five matches the Wallabies have a record of: win, loss, draw, win and loss.
Coach Robbie Deans is determined to rectify that and does not see his starting XV as a weakened side, even though he has made four changes to it.
Amongst those is highly-rated loose forward Scott Higginbotham, who returns to action after serving a two-match suspension and 33-year-old scrum-half Brett Sheehan (making his first run-on appearance for Australia).
After their fine showing at Twickenham, the Wallabies will be brimming with confidence – especially after their showing in the scrums.
Many observers felt that this would be an area where they would struggle against England, but Deans and the rest of his coaching staff did their homework and surprised their opponents.
The set-piece is traditionally one of Italy's strengths and it will be interesting to see if Deans' pack will be able to put in a similar performance in this facet of the game to last week's.
One Wallaby in particular will be relishing the challenge of taking on the Azzurri in their own backyard.
Full-back Berrick Barnes contributed 22 points to Australia's 32-14 win over Italy in Florence in 2010 – which was the last time these sides met on Italian soil.
Barnes also contributed 15 points against England which took his tally to 102 from 11 appearances in Gold for the year. Prior to this year, Barnes had totalled 83 points across his first five years as a Test player.
Players to watch:
For Italy: Italy's captain and number eight Sergio Parisse hardly puts a foot wrong at the base of the scrum. He leads from the front and when he's on song it seems to inspire those around him. His bullocking runs could prove a handful for the Wallabies' defence and his decision-making, especially under pressure, will be important if the hosts want to be triumphant.
For Australia: With Quade Cooper out of the picture, Scott Higginbotham has become the Wallaby New Zealanders love to hate after his attack on Richie McCaw. He served his suspension, however, and will be relishing the prospect of making an impact against the Azzurri. A devestating ball-carrier, Higginbotham's ability to get his team over the advantage line will be crucial in putting his side onto the front-foot.
Herd-to-head: Although the scrums will be crucial, keep a close eye on the battle for the loose ball where Italy's Robert Barbieri will do battle with highly-rated Wallabies scavenger Michael Hooper who gave a man-of-the-match performance in the win over England. Barbieri's selection is seen as a counter to Hooper's threat and it will be interesting to see if he can match his opposite number.
Previous results:
2011: Australia won 32-6, Albany (RWC)
2010:Australia won 32-14, Florence
2009:Australia won 34-12, Melbourne
2009:2009: Australia won 31-8, Canberra

1988:Australia won 55-6 in Rome
1986:Australia won 39-18 in Brisbane
1983:Australia won 29-7 in Rovigo
Prediction: The changes to Australia's line-up will not weaken them but their inconsistency will surely be weighing on their minds. Italy on the other hand will be buoyant after their performance against the All Blacks and will not take a step back. It should be close but…Italy to win by three points!

Katz quitting Rexall, focusing on career as Rob Schneider's stunt double
January 28 2008 11:05AM
OilersNation, Alberta—In a stunning turn of events, Edmonton billionaire Daryl Katz has decided to abandon his career of being really, really rich to play the stunt double of veteran comedic actor Rob Schneider in the upcoming movie Deuce Bigalow 3: Another Waste of Time.When asked for comment, Katz lamented, "Having been cruelly rebuffed time and again by the EIG, I have decided to change gears completely and head to Hollywood. I didn't realize how much I looked like Rob Schneider, but now I see I have many avenues open to me other than owning the Oilers."
There was no word from the EIG as of press time today, but it is assumed they are quarreling behind closed doors somewhere, unable to decide on anything.
That is funny, they look so alike
Oh Daryl! If only you weren't being constantly jilted by the EIG. Bill Butler should lay off the crazy pills and know a good deal for Edmonton when he sees one.
Good luck in Deuce Bigalow, Katzie!
Rob Schneider is an actor
Wow, you are a moron

Tamil and Hindi Calendar Month Name Variations with Sanskrit (Telugu) Month Names
Tamil and Telugu (sanskrit) :
There are 2 levels of matching required.. one is with names and one is with dates.
- Maarkazi Margasira
- thai Pushya – Tishya
- maachi (Maasi) Magha
- pangkuni Phalguni
- chiththirai Chitra
- vaikaachi Vaisakha
- aani Jyeshta
- aadi Aashada
- aavaNi Sravana
- purattaac Bhadrapada
- aippachi Aswiyuja
- kaarththikai Karthika
- Jan 7th 2009 was accepted as Vaikuntha Ekadasi both in the Tamil and the Telugu calendars, but the Telugu Calendars called it Pushya Suddha Ekadasi and the Tamil Calendars called the same day as Margasira (Markazi) Suddha Ekadasi.
- Jan 26th 2009 was Pushya Amavasya in the telugu calendar, Jan 25th was Thai Amavasya in the Tamil calendar – so you might hope for a match.
- But Feb 9th is Magha Pournami in the Telugu Calendar and feb 8th is Thai (Pushya) Poosam (Pournami) in the Tamil Calendar.
- Telugu months start with the first day after the new moon, so in any lunar month, the pournami comes first and then the amavasya. In Tamil month reckoning, it appears as if the amavasaya occurs first and then the pournami, but this observation needs verification.
- Feb 23rd 2009 was MahaSivarathri in both calendars, but Telugu people will tell you that it is Magha Bahula (Krishnapaksha) Chaturdasi and Tamilians will tell you that it is Thai (Pushya) Krishnapaksha Chaturdasi.
- So Telugu month-names "occur" before the corresponding Tamil month names.
- The first day of Chaitra Masam as per telugu/kannada people was 27th March 2009. This was our New Year Day. The first day of Chittirai (Chaitra), as per Tamilians was 14th April 2009.
- 27th march 2009 was Chandramana Ugadi (Lunar New Year), 14th April 2009 was Saura Samvatsaradi (Solar New Year).
- What was Vaisakha Pournami to telugu people was Chaitra Pournami to Tamilians – May 9th 2009.
And so on…
Hindi And Telugu (Sanskrit Names) :
The Hindi month names are variants of the sanskrit (telugu) names. For eg Pushya Masam in Sanskrit (telugu) becomes Posh in Hindi.
Jan 11th 2009 was Pushya Pournima (Posh Pournima) in both Hindi and telugu calendars. But Jan 12th 2009 was Pushya Krishna Paksha Padyami in Telugu Calendars and it was Magha Krishna Paksha Dwitiya in the Hindi calendar. Hindi months of the same name variants start a fortnight earlier than telugu (sanskrit) months. There is no mention of Vaikuntha Ekadasi in the Hindi calendar I referenced.
Feb 23rd 2009 was Mahashivarathri even in in the Hindi calendar but, it was called Phalgun Krishna Dwadasi in the Hindi Calendar, Magha Bahula (Krishnapaksha) Chaturdasi in the telugu calendar, Thai (Pushya) Krishnapaksha Chaturdasi in the Tamil Calendar.
In the Hindi Calendar, Chaitra Masam started on 12th March 2009. 11th March was celebrated as Holi or Phalguna Pournami. Telugu (Sanskrit) and Hindi calendars agree on month names only in the Suklapaksha (the fortnight preceding pournami). So Holi is in a sense a year-end festival, because it ends Hemanta, the season after winter and before spring. The Hindi New Year has been given in the reference as March 27th 2009, Chaitra Sukla Paksha PratiPada (Padyami), as it is for the Telugu and Kannada people.
For the tamil calendar I used : http://www.panchangam.com/fest.htm
and for the Hindi I used this : http://www.festivalsofindia.in/calender/jan.asp
For the telugu calendar I used the one created by the Sringeri Samstha.

In simple terms, the related stories feature attempts to display stories related to the one you are currently viewing.
It does this by analyzing the characteristics of the current story, like the headline and introductory paragraph, and compares it to other stories in our publication archives.
But sometimes this process goes awry and can generate results that may not make a whole lot of sense, especially when it involves words that have multiple meanings.
If this happens to you, it doesn't mean there is a serious problem. It simply means the related stories feature may have been a little confused.
