Awesome Boots
"These boots are awesome. I love them. They've got a great style and look good with jeans or a dress. After reading the reviews, I went with the 8.5 (I'm usually an 8) and I'm glad I did. The only thing I'll say is that they are pretty narrow. I have a narrow foot, but they still took a few wears to be 100% comfortable in the width. I've had them for about 2 weeks now and adore them. Definitely would recommend."

Best Purchase I've Made!!!
"First, let me begin by saying that I am not one to write reviews...however, after trying these on and wearing for a few hours I felt compelled to share my excitement with yall. These are by far the best shoes I have purchased in a long time! The reviews speak for themselves. I was skeptical that these would be fashionable and comfortable, but after reading everyone's comments, I decided I should seal the deal. They are so easy to walk in and still so cute with a very reasonable price tag! If you are on the fence about these, get them and at least try them out. If they don't work for you then I'm sorry you missed out, and at the least you can easily return to a DSW store. I have bigger calves and typically wear a size 9, but went up a size so I could wear with thicker socks and they fit great! I cannot express how pleased I am with this purchase!!! So glad I finally found an amazing pair of boots :)"

By B. J. SHARP-GUDMUNDSSONLewisburg, WV
Out in Utah we have nine dead - six of them about to be entombed in Bob Murray's "evil mountain." The editor of the Emery County Progress made a jab at the media for looking like "environmentalists" and wrote: "I think of these environmentalist types and know they don't have a clue about coal mining. Probably 99 percent of them have never been in a coal mine, but they all reap the benefits of those who mine coal. Every time you flip on a light switch chances are that electricity came from a coal fired power plant."
Here's a news flash for Ms. Stoddard: West Virginians know coal mining. We have the disasters and the blisters to prove it. Many of us have been in a coal mine and we do think about the impact and the comfort of flipping on that light switch. But people that care about this earth and the life it supports don't deserve to be knocked around anymore than the coal miners deserve it. You will not hear a West Virginian showing disrespect for a coal miner.
Maybe some in the coal mining community are living on a different planet than the rest of us. I'm offended that someone would actually say that we don't know where our danged electricity comes from. We all know - and we know the price that we have to pay for it.
In West Virginia we are paying the ultimate price. Mountaintop removal is leveling our mountains, mucking up our drinking water, tearing up our roads, threatening our safety, driving away our young people, destroying our tourism industry - essentially bleeding many of our communities dry. And someone out there actually thinks we don't know coal mining. Now comes news that the President wants to expand this dastardly process.
The WV Coal Association says that Boone County, WV has the state's most coal and the largest number of high paying coal jobs. But last month's unemployment rate almost went through the roof. Our leaders, and I use that term lightly "the governor, the legislature, and our representatives in Congress" have abandoned West Virginia. Why? They want the coal industry to make money - and lots of it. And as I write Gov. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is packing off to China to sell coal mining equipment.
They will cater to and defend this ruthless industry to no end. They will point out the sacrifices made by miners, their families, the coal barons and the "yes men." They will not talk about retiring Richard Stickler from MSHA. Nor will they talk about renewable energy. And they will be hard pressed to talk about conservation as that will reduce instant profits and campaign contributions.
Here's where we draw the line in the sand. They will waste valuable time on plans to power this country, but the methods will be those that bring in fast cash. They will use phrases like "clean coal technology," "carbon capture" and my personal favorite, "national security."
On the other hand, we, the "environmentalists," the real stewards, will be the ones fighting against mountaintop removal. We will be the voice for renewable energy, clean water, clean air and stable jobs in healthy communities. We will rise up, for the future of our young people rather than just promising them a job in the coal mines.
The next time we head to the voting booth we will think about what got us into this terrible, terrible mess. And we will be prepared to make smarter choices. Given the present "state" of affairs it might be better to have no leadership than to be held hostage by what we have now.

Yixing are build by slabs, like a puzzle. Marks like the vertical upward strokes are for smoothing and blending the inner joins together. If the build is not by the above construction, it should not be labeled as a yixing. Just IMHO.

Just my personal opinion....but wouldn't that define out of existence how the majority of Yixing pots are made (with molds)? I mean...I'm happy to call those purely handmade and well made (with no mold) yixings masterpiece yixings but....
Isn't mold is still slabs build? Or wheel thrown??
Ah okay. Taken in that sense, yes then I agree.
Which sense were you thinking before that? Just curious.

Tight Toe Box
"The shoe is very classy looking and the heel height was very comfortable, but the toe box was way to too tight. I sometimes wear a 7.5 and sometimes an 8, both in a medium width. I ordered the 7.5 medium and the length was fine. I had to return the shoes because my toes were too cramped."

In-Game blog/Box Score
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Trailing by four in the second quarter, UMass men's lacrosse used a second-half offensive surge to rally past No. 20 Hofstra, 9-8 at James M. Shuart Stadium on Saturday evening. Senior attack Colin Fleming tallied the game-winning goal with 13 seconds to play on Will Manny's single-game career-high sixth assist of the night.
Sophomore attack Grant Whiteway led the squad with three goals while Fleming and junior attack Connor Mooney added a pair of tallies. Bobby Tyler produced one goal and an assist for a pair of points, Kyle Smith totaled one mark and Brendan Schroeder helped out on one tally.
The UMass man-down defense kept Hofstra to just one goal in seven extra-man opportunities spanning 6:30 of game action. Zach Oliveri finished with 13 stops against eight goals for a .619 save percentage on the contest while Joe Calvello won 13-of-19 faceoffs and tied for the game high with five groundballs scooped up.
With 1:52 remaining in the game and the scored tied at 8-8, the Minutemen caused a Hofstra turnover and cleared the play into the offensive zone. Following a timeout, Manny earned possession behind the cage and sent the play to Fleming in front, with Fleming firing a high attempt by goalie Chris Selva to push UMass ahead, 9-8 with time winding down in regulation to cap the comeback.
The Minutemen (6-7 overall, 1-4 CAA) opened scoring with Smith tallying his team-leading 23rd goal of the year only 38 seconds into the game. Manny fed Smith from the right post, with Smith bouncing a shot at the edge of the crease.
Torin Varn recorded back-to-back goals for Hofstra (7-6, 2-3) to push the home side into a 2-1 lead with 3:57 to go in the first. Varn added a man-up tally at the 1:22 mark of the opening stanza to notch the hat trick, using the Pride's fourth man-up opportunity of the quarter to do so.
After Brian von Bargen secured Hofstra's fourth goal on a rebound shot to close scoring in the first, Adrian Sorichetti connected to give the Pride a 5-1 advantage with 12:48 remaining in the half, the largest lead of the contest for either side. The Minutemen countered with consecutive tallies from Mooney and Whiteway to pull within 5-3, scoring the pair only 1:11 apart.
Mooney added the second UMass goal of the day with 4:55 left in the second, scooping up a loose ball in front and planting a rebound shot into the left side of the net while being checked to the ground from behind. Whiteway followed with his 19th goal of the year to drop the deficit to two. With Fleming screening the Hofstra defense in front of the cage, Whiteway caught a pass from Manny and fired an attempt into the top-left corner to convert.
Whiteway tallied his second of the day and 20th of the year to move the Minutemen within 6-4 at the 10:08 mark of the third. Schroeder found Whiteway in front for the goal, marking Schroeder's second helper of the season. Tyler added UMass' fifth goal on Manny's third assist of the contest. Manny sent a pass to Tyler near the left post, with Tyler flicking an attempt by Selva at the crease with 5:08 remaining in the third.
After Mike Malave recorded a goal for the Pride to extend Hofstra's lead to 7-5 at the 1:53 mark in the third, Whiteway connected again to earn his fourth career hat trick. Using a man-up opportunity following a cross-checking penalty on the Pride, Whiteway secured his third goal of the day following a feed from Manny with 23 seconds left in the third.
The Minutemen evened the score only 48 seconds into the final stanza on a Fleming strike from distance. Tyler sent a pass from behind the net to Fleming eight yards from the cage, with Fleming depositing a hard shot over Selva's right shoulder to make it 7-7.
UMass took its first lead of the contest since going ahead, 1-0 with Mooney's second goal of the day. To give the Minutemen the 8-7 advantage with 8:47 to play, Manny found Mooney in front, with Mooney converting a shot while being checked to the ground.
The one-goal UMass advantage was erased by von Bargen with a strike five yards out from the left post to notch play at 8-8 with 1:52 remaining to play. However, Fleming's first game-winner of the season kept UMass' CAA Tournament hopes alive as the Minutemen required a win over Hofstra to stay in the race for the fourth and final seed in the upcoming postseason.
Varn led Hofstra with three goals, all in the first quarter. von Bargen followed with two tallies while Sam Llinares, Malave and Sorichetti recorded one each. Selva made 17 saves for the Pride while letting in nine tallies.
UMass outshot Hofstra, 42-33 overall and 26-12 in the second half. The Minutemen also led in groundballs, 27-24 while committing fewer turnovers, with 10 against 11 given up by the Pride. UMass went 15-for-18 on clears while Hofstra finished 17-of-18. The Minutemen finished 4-for-8 in extra-man opportunities as Whiteway converted twice and Mooney and Tyler notched one man-up goal each.
UMass hosts its senior day against the Delaware Blue Hens (5-9, 1-4) with a 7 p.m. contest at Garber Field on Friday, April 26.

About Kevin Jonas
Born Paul Kevin Jonas II, guitarist and vocalist Kevin Jonas is the oldest member of Jonas Brothers. Originally conceived as a solo project for Nicholas Jonas, Jonas Brothers formed after Kevin, Nicholas, and Joseph Jonas began writing and performing songs together. Kevin, a self-taught guitarist who first picked up the instrument at age 12, took a role as the group's lead guitarist and backup vocalist; his work appeared on both It's About Time, the group's debut album, and Jonas Brothers, the self-titled follow-up that he helped produce. Despite an extensive touring schedule in 2007 (Jonas Brothers toured with Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana as well as headlining their own concert series), the band found time to record the tracks for its third album, which was scheduled for release in the summer of 2008. Along with Nicholas and Joseph, Kevin appeared on the television series J.O.N.A.S.! and in the made-for-TV movie Camp Rock. ~ Katherine Fulton, Rovi

Childhood memories mean a lot to David and Tammy Funderburk.
That concept is what the Funderburks focused on when landscaping their yard at 610 W. Shiloh Unity Road.
They are hoping that vision goes a long way in helping their children, Holly, 28, and Rod, 21, and grandchildren, Gunnar, Drake and Alyson, build some special memories, too.
They had no idea their efforts would get them recognized in the local community.
The Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs selected the Funderburks' yard as Yard of the Month for October.
There aren't many people around whose lives haven't been touched in one way or another by cancer. It is no respecter of person, race, creed or income. Take Cathy Hendrick for instance. She could be the "Job" of our generation. Her life was changed forever on Oct.

Lancaster High School head football coach Bennie McMurray is hoping for a little deja vu as he looks to Friday night.McMurray, recalling the Bruins' response to their first loss this season, is hoping for a similar answer following LHS's second setback this fall.Lancaster, after falling to Northwestern 27-7 for its first defeat this season, rebounded to throttle Nation Ford 30-0 at home."This time, it's different," McMurray said. "We're on the road and we face a team which is playing pretty good football.
There were are a lot dedicated readers at Buford Middle School over the summer.
In fact, the students and faculty read more than 1 million pages and have recently been recognized for their work.
Buford Middle is this year's statewide winner of the No Book Left Unread summer reading contest. The initiative started last year as a way to encourage recreational reading during the summer.
More than 8,000 students and 173 schools in South Carolina participated in this year's challenge, reading nearly 16 million pages.
Most of us drive down Lancaster's Main Street at least several times each week without giving it a second thought.
Granted, there are still a few businesses surviving among the otherwise empty buildings, but I cling to my memories when Main Street was the center of my small universe. It was every bit what a County Seat should be.
Be nice now here comes Lancaster Police Chief Huey Montgomery out for a walk, too. He knows most everybody in town, including me.ee

Each social service agency in Emery County was invited to a luncheon and seminar called Interagency Celebrate Recovery. It was held at the Museum of the San Rafael on Sept. 25 and was geared to teach all social service employees more about what can be done to help the residents of this area.
Jennifer Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker with Four Corners Behavioral Health opened the meeting by welcoming all the agencies and their representatives. "We get many calls from every agency asking questions about how to deal with their clients with addictions," she said. "Since this is National Recovery Month, we decided to talk about co-occuring disorders. Addictions in some form hits every family at one time or another. Co-occurring disorders are those which affect people in more than one way," said Thomas.
Common co-occurring disorders are: depression; bipolar disorder; attention disorders; anxiety disorders; and personality disorders. Someone with one of these disorders may turn to alcohol or drugs to treat the disorder. "It has been discussed which comes first, the mental illness or the addiction," stated Thomas. "Research has found that the mental illness usually presents first."
When a person with a mental disorder begins to feel out of control, many times they will turn to substances to self medicate. "It is critical to recognize and treat the mental disorder before the person turns to drugs and other substance and becomes addicted," Thomas added.
Thomas said that in recent times, co-occurring disorders are becoming more prevalent. Many people with depression and substance abuse issues do not get the treatment they need. Even after diagnosis, many people will not believe the diagnosis.
Self defeating behaviors, such as hair pulling, cutting, starvation, etc., are those behaviors that one does to sabotage themselves. Along with these behaviors, a person might display thinking errors. Thinking errors are those things such as excuse making, blaming someone else, justifying, victim playing and anger. These personality disorders are an enduring pattern of the experiences and cultures the person came from.
"What do we do?" asked Thomas. "We must set limits for our clients. We must also be very honest with them. Do not personalize their attacks and have appropriate relationships with them. We must avoid transference of their problems into our own lives. Another effective tool is role playing."
Thomas explained that Four Corners Behavioral Health has something that will work for just about anyone. There are many financial helps available for those who are in need of treatment. They also provide parenting classes and classes for children and teens who may be having some difficulties. "We have a wellness program for those without insurance," said Thomas.
Melissa Huntington of Four Corners presented a power point concerning the neurobiology of addictions. This explained the chemicals and their reactions on and in the brain. "Why are addicts so difficult to treat?" Huntington asked. "It is due to several factors. There is the stigma of treatment and the genetics behind the addiction. People have biological, psychological and social contributors to addictions.
"Another reason is the funding. Many people do not have the resources to pay for addiction treatment. We have many options available and will work to find solutions to those problems. There is the length of treatment also. Many people stop treatment too soon. Successful treatment takes at least a year.
"Finally, the complexity of the brain plays a big role in the difficulty of treating addicts. Children with untreated attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are many more times more likely to become addicted to a substance," said Huntington. Prevention is the key to stopping many people from becoming addicts.
Drug abuse creates an imbalance in the neurotransmitters in the brain. Drugs produce a flood of dopamine in the system and this drains the naturally occurring dopamine from the system. In turn, this action damages the normal functioning of the neuropathways of the brain. The brain's reward and cognitive systems are then compromised and damage is done to the region of the brain that controls decision making and judgment. This increases a persons vulnerability to become addicted to not only one substance, but any other substance also.

Well the month's almost over, but we couldn't let March pass without highlighting one of the
painful favorite memories of our early school days. Playing the recorder.
This most useless of musical instruments is hoisted every year on some of the most musically untalented youngsters in the country. Myself included.

Capital Versus Performance Covenants in Debt Contracts
Hans Bonde Christensen
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business
Valeri V. Nikolaev
University of Chicago Booth School of Business
September 27, 2011
Chicago Booth Research Paper No. 11-06
Building on contracting theory, we argue that financial covenants control the conflicts of interest between lenders and borrowers via two different mechanisms. Capital covenants control agency problems by aligning debtholder-shareholder interests. Performance covenants serve as tripwires that limit agency problems via the transfer of control to lenders in states where the value of their claim is at risk. Companies trade off these mechanisms. Capital covenants impose costly restrictions on capital structure, while performance covenants require contractible accounting information to be available. Consistent with these arguments, we find that the use of performance covenants relative to capital covenants is positively associated with (1) the financial constraints of the borrower, (2) the extent to which accounting information portrays credit risk, (3) the likelihood of contract renegotiation, and (4) the presence of contractual restrictions on managerial actions. Our findings suggest that accounting-based covenants can improve contracting efficiency in two conceptually different ways.

Where do gentlemen hang out? Harlan talks about the college years being the best years to find your mate.... well, I'm not looking for a partier or someone that just wants to have a physical connection. I want something real. So where do you all suggest a classy girl should look?
Views: 280
Here would probably be a good start.
Well I guess the best question to ask is, what is your ideal guy? You do not want a partier (THANK GOD!) so you are limited there (unfortunately). You have to first figure out what you want in a guy, personality wise, then you can move forward.
Guys that do not party tend to hang out in their rooms or with their friends. This can be on or off campus. Your best bet would be to meet them in class as that would be the most reliable place to find them during normal hours. You can find gentlemen by the doors, holding them open for you, the ones who will walk next to you and who will go out of their way to make YOU happy and not themselves.
Good guys are out there, I promise you. You do have to try harder because most 'good guys; tend to be shy because they are either naturally shy or have been burned bad in the past by another individual. Just know, you may have to make the first move and you may have to try harder than with the 'other' guys. All real relationships take work and commitment, it is about enjoying that work and wanting more that keeps it all interesting. yes, you have to put yourself out there, and no you will not always succeed, but if it was easy, it would not be interesting at all.
So to help you a bit more, what kind of guys are you in to?
Well, first off, thanks for responding Grant! I didn't know if anyone would actually post on this.
Second, I don't know if I really believe in having an "ideal guy" built up in my head. If I did this would only lead to men not meeting this view. Please do not take this as me not having standards because I do.
I guess I'm looking for someone that is comfortable and happy with who they are, but willing to grow as an individual as well as with someone else. A guy that doesn't take like too seriously (as I tend to), but is intelligent. Someone that believes family should come first and that every day is a learning opportunity. Has morals and values because HE wants to, not because of me, or because of his mom, etc. An independent well rounded sort of guy. Someone that puts others before himself willingly. Someone that can make me laugh and enjoy the small and big moments in life.
Now Grant, I understand that this is probably not what you meant by your question of "What kind of guys are you in to." But I don't have an actual type such as a jock, nerd, etc. Each person is different and unique, and I want a good guy that wants to be my person.
I don't know if this answers your question, and if it doesn't my apologies and disregard it as a rant. haha
Thanks for the help :)
I think ranting is one of the big things about this site, whether people complaining or just doing long winded responses ha ha! It only adds to the complexities that we all share! Also, I try and respond to posts that I feel for, you know, like understand the struggle or share it, in this case the latter is true.
Frankly your response will end up helping more than a demographic.. What you are looking for will not be in front of your eyes, I promise you. These guys are rare, and becoming more rare constantly as they start to conform to society and saying screw morals and respect for beer and loose women.. And personally I wish this was the opposite.
I will say that the guy you are looking for will most likely take life very seriously, if he is as close to family and has morals and whatnot, he will value each day for what it is, a once in a lifetime chance to make change. I am a change maker, that is what I do and enjoy.
Someone who is comfortable with themselves, I believe, will be the toughest thing to find in a guy. Believe it or not, but most guys are self conscious, we are taught to be the emotionless chunks of beefcake, not loving, caring individuals, so when guys so emotional and get shot down they tend to close up, and get scared to open up. That or they become cocky, but you are not looking for that, so we will ignore it for now. Many guys can learn to be comfortable with themselves but first they must have someone who is comfortable with THEM. I know I am personally extremely worried about my image, and how I look because I am not some muscle machine, but I can defend myself and others and have in the past. I also know that I am very shy, and I know I am not alone there. Most of my friends are the same way.
How many guy friends do you have? Ones that you may have 'friend-zoned' that are really good guys? I would bet a non-trivial amount of money that at least one of them likes you. It may be worth a shot to give them a chance.. In the off chance that you do not have any guy friends, then your search is on. Stay away from parties and bars because I can almost guarantee you that you will not find the right guy there. If you find yourself at a location like that, check the wall, an gentlemen's shy nature and want to retail physical space and security are generally drawn there ha ha. There are no 'perfect' guys out there, you just have to find the one that is perfect for you.
^see I can be ranty too :) Talk all you want (be aware of the 4000 word limit though) complain, SCREAM, do whatever you want, I and others are here to help you :) You seem like a great person looking for another great person to fill a hole in your heart. The right guy is out there and you WILL find him, until then, empty your heart through your words. Don't spill on the keyboard though, computers and electronics hate liquids ;)
TL;DR to Grant's post: There are many good guys out there, most of them are your best friends and probably have a crush on you. They are the ones you trust and trust you back, they are the ones there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on. THOSE are the good guys (everyone has those close friends, whether guys or girls... this applies to you ALL!!), if you open your mind to them as potential then you will be surprised ;).
"CAPS LOCK IS JUST CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL"- Chris Boden, The Geek Group
They are everywhere! Once you can embrace The Universal Rejection Truth and train in your thongs they will be much easier to spot and approach (yes, you will do the approaching). They will pop up during your daily routine. You'll see them online, at work, at restaurants, at parties, and with your friends. You will find them. And they will be much more comfortable approaching you because you will be far more approachable. In fact, allow more men access to you in more places and let them come to you. Use time and sobriety to filter out the users, losers, and pretenders. Once you focus more on what you like, rather than on being liked, you can find them. Being here is a huge step. Reading the book is a huge step.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
What are YOU doing to give men access to you? How do men find you? Are you online? Are you in rooms where men can find you? Are you being set up? Do you consistently approach men who interest you? Do you make it safe for them approach you (meaning, if you approach me, I won't reject you)? What have you done to find love today? What will you do tomorrow? Whatever you've done, try something different. If you've done it all, do it all again, but change how you do it. Read the book. Follow the five steps. Then get back to me. Deal?

text: The Person You Want to Finally Start Playing Video Games with YouEvan Narcisse11/28/11 1:00pmFiled to: Gifts ForGift Guide110EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink You've tolerated their presence in your life for years. Maybe it's because they have attractive physical attributes, pay half your rent or gone halfsies. It might even be all three. But, if your partner—or heck, maybe just your roommate—is really going to understand who you are in the depths of your soul, then it's way past time that they pick up a controller and participate in your greatest passion. Try out the suggestions below for ways to impart your game devotion to the people you love. Quarrel Advertisement One way to turn that non-player into One of Us is to showcase the video game variant of an amusement they already know. UK development studio Denki's Quarrel brings a unique mash-up of Risk and Scrabble to iOS, where each player starts off with a plot of land populated by letter soldiers. One expands their real estate by facing off with competitors and beating the point value of the words they make. The added layer of strategy makes Quarrel stand out from other similar games and will probably engender more erudite trash talk than you're used to.($4.99 for a universal app that works on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad on Apple's iTunes App Store.) Brown v. EMA Supreme Court Case T-Shirt Advertisement No matter where they fall on video games' redeeming qualities, most everyone agrees that an unfettered exchange of ideas is a boon to civilized societies. This shirt by Kill Screen— which commemorates this year's landmark Supreme Court decision that gave video games free speech protections—might inspire them to load up a game of Mortal Kombat. At the very least, they'll look like they're up on their constitutional law.($20; you'll have to figure out how to get an autograph from Justice Antonin Scalia by yourself.) The Gunstringer Advertisement Sponsored You probably want to start off your gaming padawan with an experience so incontestably fun and uniquely creative that it draws them in and keeps hold of them. Twisted Pixel's puppet adventure—where your hands do the steering and shooting for a vengeance-resurrected cowboy out to get even with the galoots that killed him—also comes with Fruit Ninja Kinect. The scaled-up version of the mobile hit isn't just one of the better Kinect games; it's a sweaty, addictive diversion that makes for a great party game, too. Buttons and analog sticks may not be your apprentice's thing, but this two-fer might just make a gamer of them after all.($40, not bad for a disc that lets you be a cowboy AND a ninja.) Streets Ahead Leather Cuff Bracelet Advertisement Sometimes, it's a shared single-player experience that turns out to be the best one for making a non-gamer want to pick up a controller. Deeply layered gameworlds like the one in Skyrim become a drama where more than one person can help drive the plot. If the person you want to become your gaming compadre happens to be female and they stick with you through the latest Elder Scrolls chapter, then they deserve an adornment fit for a warrior woman. This leather cuff fits the bill, with intricate detailing cut etched out with a frickin' laser. It may not increase her magicka abilities but she's already sticking out a relationship with you. She probably already has enough otherwordly talents.($57.00; matching enchanted armor is probably not a good idea) Sony PlayStation 3D display Advertisement Advertisement If you need a second TV, why not get one built for gaming? Sony's PlayStation-branded 3DTV does what you expect: making stereoscopically enabled titles like Uncharted 3 or Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One pop and float off the screen when viewed with the TV's accompanying eyewear. But it's got an extra feature called SimulView that lets two viewers each see a different image from the same game, making it perfect for co-op or competitive play in Motorstorm Apocalypse or Wipeout HD. The sheer novelty of this function alone should earn you some couch time to show off your favorite medium.($499; comes with a copy of Resistance 3 and one pair of 3D glasses)You can contact Evan Narcisse, the author of this post, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Skip to comments.Rush: Barney Frank Checked Into His Convention Hotel With Leather Belt Around His Neck (photo)
Posted on 09/04/2012 1:09:28 PM PDT by COBOL2Java
Barney Frank... I kid you not. I've got the picture. Barney Frank checked into his hotel (it's one of the Marriott's there) with a leather belt around his neck, buckled. It's the kind of belt you would wear in your slacks. There's Barney Frank -- photo from the side, his right side -- checking into the hotel with a leather belt buckled around his neck. I don't understand it. I'm not going to offer any analysis. I'm just telling you, I've got the picture.
(Excerpt) Read more at rushlimbaugh.com ...
Must be a gay thing...
Queers can do queer things.
Thats not his belt unless he is a size 32. Just sayin.......
That is simply bizarre. This is often used in autoerotic asphyxiation.
I'd check that hotel room for a gay prostitution ring, it wouldn't be the first time Barney's Frank has done it
You'd have to be a sadomasochist to listen to Obama
Barney Frank is a very messed-up man, and his congressional district south of Boston has some very messed-up people in it.
He's not running for election again, so he's able to let it hang out a bit more than he has in prior years.
I wonder where he'll retire? Wherever it is, he'll be chuckling once in a while about the morons who kept electing him to office for the past 31 years.
Some may interpret it as someone who might be contemplating the end (like his career) or other sordid sorts of endings no necessarily the end of life type "ends".
"Hell bent...Hell bent for leather..."
It's a trap!
And she is gonna kick his butt for taking it without asking first.
Yah, that's a collar - not a belt. Probably one of the toys he uses with his "husband" and flock of boyfriends.
he's waiting in vain for David Carradine.
Is that a dog collar? Maybe he's waiting for a friend.
Ha!! My first thought was Spinal Tap's "Smell the Glove" :)
The belt appears to be wrapped around his neck twice.
If he is not careful he might suffocate. Not from the belt though...
He doesn't know his head from his belly? I think it is a gay thing too. Looks like it would fit right into San Fran. Isn't today "Reach Out to Pervs" day at the convention?
Hypoxyphilia/Auto-erotic Asphyxia
I am just so DAMN proud of my state!
Looks like he's just getting ready for a little gay fun.
Isn't he retiring/not running for re-election?
Let me be 'frank' with you young man ...
Oooh! is that a promise?
Yeah, he's more like a 42 -46 inch waist. Is there a bathhouse nearby?
I said last week that I would have hated my town being invaded by these rats but quite honestly Ive now seen this, two others sent home drunk, others off to hospital and then the homosexuals acting up and having public fecal sex, the there is the whacky occupy lot, then the smelly layabout lot.
I swear this only confirms my feelins and views from last week
It is a frigging freak show
I can still hope, can't I?
Only, that would probably cement the seat (yeeeech) for Joe-cubed.
I hope he wears his belt when he gives his convention speech.
It will be fun to watch him faint and fall away from the podium when the oxygen is cut off.
He is definitely the poster child of the DNC.
Consenting perverts in public.
He must have thought he was going to the Freakers Ball. I understand his confusion! It's hard to tell the difference with this crew!
by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show:
Well theres gonna be a freakers ball
Tonight at the freakers hall
And you know, youre invited one and all
Come on babies grease your lips
Grab your hats and swing your hips
Dont forget to bring your whips
Were going to the freakers ball
Blow your whistle and bang your gong
Roll up something to take along
It feels so good it must be wrong
Were freakin at the freakers ball
Where all the fags and the dykes theyre boogyin together
The leather freaks are dressed in all kinds of leather
The greatest of the sadists and the masochists too
Screaming Please hit me, and Ill hit you
The FBI are dancing with the junkies
All the straights, are swinging with the funkies
Across the floor and up the wall
Were freakin at the freakers ball
Yall, were freakin at the freakers ball
Everybodys kissing each other
Brother with sister, son with mother
Smear my body up with butter
Take me to the freakers ball
Pass that roach please and pour the wine
Ill kiss yours if youll kiss mine
Im gonna boogie till i go blind
Were freakin at the freakers ball
White ones, black ones, yellow ones, red ones
Necrophiliacs looking for dead ones
The greatest of the sadist and the masochists too
Screaming Please hit me, and Ill hit you
Everybodys ballin in batches
Pyromaniacs striking matches
Im gonna itch me where it scratches
Freaking at the freakers ball
YA got a two-fer.
You will now be accused of racism and anti-gay.
Keep up the good work.
Of course say good morning and you are offending someone.
It's his shibboleth for the poofters that like to merge leather with their other perversions. An invitation of sort.
"The diamond band on the wrist of her naked arm gave her the most feminine of all aspects: the look of being chained."
Barney is getting in touch with his feminine side.
It's an old device commonly worn by politicians and lawyers to keep their foreskins from covering their faces!
When you're dealing with Democrats, truth is often much stranger than any fiction one could dream up.
The older you are the higher you wear your belt.
As if he's not weird enough! Let's all watch the freak show! Popcorn popping.
It's a Fred Mertz thing. You wouldn't understand.
What we don't see is that cage full of live Gerbils the porter just took to his room.
"Thats not his belt unless he is a size 32"
No, that is correct. His neck size is a 32 while his head and belly size are 46
With humblest apologies to the FReeper by that name. I completely forgot before I posted.
Very general observation. Barney is not young. A lot of guys with weird dispositions (I don't mean just gay guys) get kookier as they get old.
I'm thinking Marv Albert and some others. They just get tired of the cover and they act out. Barney has to go a long way to act out more than usual.
Hey Barney Frank! I've known a number of "Leathernecks" and you are no Leatherneck!

Amid the sense of injustice, legitimate or not, over Luis Suárez's ten-match ban and the rage against the FA machine that condemned him, Liverpool's primary fear was revealed. It wasn't for their own standing within the game, it was that their only world-class player could quit the Barclays Premier League and head for a country where his reputation does not precede him to the same extent.
As reported in The Times yesterday, Suárez is considering his future. In the 26-year-old's view, English football does not understand him and, however it may appear to those outside his loyalists, he also feels

Females with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia — who are exposed in the womb to elevated levels of male sex hormones — are more likely than are girls without this condition to prefer typically male gender roles and activities throughout their lives. They may be more likely to identify as bisexual or homosexual.
Sexual problems are common among girls and women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including:
Early and steady support from family and health care providers can help girls grow up to have normal self-esteem and a satisfying social life. Make sure counseling is included in your child's treatment plan, and that you and your child's health care providers pay attention to her mental and emotional health as well as her physical well-being.
You can also help your child by resisting the urge to overprotect her, which may only convince her that she is different or limited. If you're having trouble coping with your child's condition or feel overwhelmed by worry, ask your doctor to refer you to a mental health professional. An experienced therapist can help you deal with your feelings and develop healthy parenting strategies.

A trio of Western Massachusetts communities are hoping states regulators make them eligible for money from MGM. The company wants to open a casino in downtown Springfield.
To offset extra traffic or public safety costs, MGM has reached deals in recent weeks with a half-dozen communities around Springfield and they've committed to reaching a deal with a seventh: West Springfield.
But three others have had no such luck: Longmeadow, Hampden and Northampton filed paperwork this week with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. They're asking regulators to force MGM to make a deal or head to arbitration.
A hearing is set for January 28th before the gaming commission, when each community would make its case for why it would be hurt by a casino, and MGM could respond.
The commission is encouraging the parties to work out a deal in the meantime, but a spokesperson for MGM says the company is going to let the "petition process run its course."
MGM is the only remaining applicant for the casino license reserved for Western Massachusetts.

John Bellany | A Passion for Life
- 17th November 2012 − 27th January 2013 | Academy (Scottish National Gallery) | £7 (£5)
The 1970s
Hand in hand with Bellany's development of a symbolic repertoire (the puffin, gull, fish, monkey etc.) went an ever-increasing dissolution of the image. The gestural brushwork seen in previous works became increasingly expressionistic and there was a distinct loosening of forms.
In 1974 Bellany introduced the idea of two framing strips at the side of the canvas, containing the blurred images of former voyagers, of ancestral voices. Gradually such images became predominant, almost to the point of illegibility, and Bellany began increasingly to use the triptych format.
Underlying all was Bellany's concern to explore the interplay of human relationships and central to this was the artist himself.

Canadian women's volleyball team encouraged with play in five-set loss to Peru
LIMA, Peru – The Canadian national women's volleyball team took Peru to the limit on Monday but fell in five sets 20-25, 26-24, 25-17, 11-25, 25-13 in the sixth match of its south and central America tour.
The Canadians completed a five match series last week against 19th ranked Argentina earning one victory. Both Peru and Canada, ranked 17th and 24th in the world respectively, are currently tuning up for the FIVB women's world volleyball championships set for October 29 to November 14 in Japan.
Despite the loss, the Canadian team played its best match of the tour so far.
"It was easy to find our flow tonight," said Canadian setter Lauren O'Reilly of Langley, B.C. "They are a very good defensive team, but we stuck in the rallies and felt more confident on the court and even though we lost we definitely got better tonight."
Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., led the Canadian attack with 18 points while Tiffany Dodds of Lucky Lake, Sask., added 15.
"I saw a different team on the court," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "We were very aggressive, had very good positive energy. At the end of the second and fifth sets we just made too many errors and weren't precise enough, which cost us in the end."
Canada is the midst of an 18-day tour and will play four more matches against this week Peru before concluding the trip in Costa Rica. The next Canada-Peru match is Tuesday night.
