Comments: just rip the tail down the middle if you want more action. 6/10
From: Sutton: KS
Comments: I really like this worm. When you put the wide load in your hand it doesn't feel like 5 inches, it feels like something i've never felt before. Its got a super wide head that can penetrate bushes effectively. I really like the squiggly arms on the side too, they really add the skeet to the wide load. The ribs on the underside are really great too.
From: Toby: Oklahoma City, MO
Comments: So I just got these in the mail today and can't help but notice that the tail is one piece. Looking at the picture when i ordered it i thought it had a slit down the middle. Has anyone else had this to occur or is the picture just deceiving? I will still use it. It looks like it should be great on a shaky head =]
From: Tyler: NC
Comments: As other said, it floats, so the tail sits up off the bottom. When i realized this i went back and bought 4 more packs to use as a jig trailer. but it works just fine alone texas rigged.

From: Eric: Lavon, TX
Comments: I tried this the other day and this is really nice, it has really good action, its good on a weighted hook.
From: Pete
Comments: I tried this bait the other day for the first time and I must admit, I liked it. I really liked how the bait came through lilypads and grass. It also looks good, especially when weighted, because the tail floats up off the bottom. The bait is fairly durable and was able to withstand tough conditions. I used the black w/blue flake and fished it like a worm. It's well worth the three bucks!

Spoiler!Monet has wings made of wax and Vergo is made of iron.
Spoiler!Monet has wings made of wax and Vergo is made of iron.
I Love You!
Awesome awesome awesome!!!
Monet has a possible sad past and is being forced into this by DonFlam... hellooooooo next strawhat !!!
oh and her boobs make me happy
I wonder what DonFlam has in that room that could cause so much harm in the new world?
Yes! Wild, unfounded speculation about Monet being the next Strawhat after Luffy "saves" her from Joker are now officially in play!!!
Also, Law just does not seem to be trusted. Although, Luffy might not mind making chaos of the New World either, so there's no guarantee that their alliance is soon to dissolve.
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Awesome chapter. First off, CC's DF really is hax. It's one of the strongest df we have seen so far. It has a wide range of attacks. Range, melee and even AoE.
Monet is one tough bird. I don't think any of Luffy's opponent pre time skip would survived a jet gatling with haki attack and leave unharmed.
As expected, Sanji would hold his own against Vergo. Zoro would not let him stay behind if his life is in mortal peril. For those who are saying that Sanji is already using fire attacks while Vergo seems unaffected, well Sanji also used flaming kicks on fodder. This has become his normal attack with no fancy tricks yet. Sanji will probably get beaten but the fight will be interrupted before it happens.
sig made by me
WOwwwwwww what a chapter!!!
i say it again Wowww what a chapter
Oda is really steppin up his game
I don't know what to predict for the next chapter
-Monet joining the strawhats
-What is law planning , and what is this thing/someone
-DId law only used the SH for his counterattack!
-What's up with luffy and monet
-Doflamingo is gotta take action he can't sit still anymore!!!!
Man if oda is going on a break next week i'll kill him
Law obviously didn't used the SH for his counterattack or to steal whatever the thing is. He already mentioned it to Luffy when he asked him to joined forces.
sig made by me
Impressive stuff, Law keeps bouncing from trustworthy to not, But "mess with the New World" is too vague for me to know what he wants to do.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I enjoyed all parts of this chapter..
Hope so that Sanji vs Vergo will go on.. xD
You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
Great chapter indeed. I've been lurking around here a lot but it's been a while since I posted something. Anyway, I don't think Law will stab luffy in the back right at the beginning of their alliance. It is clear Law had this idea way before the timeskip and for that (alliance with SHs) he did the following:
1. He checked out luffy at shabondy to size up his competition as well as confirm how "crazy" his soon to be ally was. (auction house incident).
2. Went out of his way to save luffy during the MF war.
3. Said he was going to wait for luffy b4 going into the new world
4. Didn't do anything too major although drake, kidd etc were supposedly making waves in the new world.
Like BB's capture of Ace, Law's gesture of giving several pirates hearts to the WG was so they can see his power and offer him the shichibukai spot to strategically place him to acquire this weapon.

CalArts, Bijou Theater
FILM/VIDEO: Pincus Finster is in way over his head: trying to find a way to stall his father's Parkinson's, halfheartedly taking up yoga to meet girls, and letting his only friend, Dietmar, an aging German illegal alien, get drunk and sleep in the homes they're supposed to be remodeling. Pincus spends his time stoned and fumbling for some sort of spiritual truth. Drawing from his own life, director and writer David Fenster has cast his family and friends (including his father, Paul Fenster, who has been living with Parkinson's for 13 years) and woven documentary footage shot in and around his hometown of Miami, Florida, into the story, capturing the singular beauty of a city that is so often misrepresented.

The collector, patron and amateur artist Sir George Beaumont offered Constable valuable encouragement as a painter, and gave him access to his collection of works by Old Masters. They first met in 1795 when Beaumont was visiting his mother in Dedham, and over the next three decades Constable visited Beaumont at his London home in Grosvenor Square, and at his country house, Coleorton Hall, Leicestershire.
Constable painted this copy of a landscape by David Teniers (1610–1690) belonging to Beaumont for William Dodsworth. He painted it with thick impasto and introduced dynamic clouds in order to distinguish his painting from the original; he also introduced a dog. A label on the back is inscribed: 'This Copy from Teniers – in the possession of Sir Geo. Beaumont was painted by Mr Constable and presented by him to William Dodsworth Esqr. In trifling acknowledgement of his handsome present – of his very fine Work of Salisbury Cathedral London January 15 1823'.There is some doubt about this date, as Fisher had written to Constable on 30 November 1822: 'Dodsworth desires me to thank you for the Teniers' (Beckett VI, p. 105). This letter may simply indicate that Dodsworth wanted to thank Constable for promising the painting, as Fisher wrote again to Constable on 7 February 1823: 'Dodsworth is hugely delighted with his Teniers, & is in admiration & astonishment, how you could make it look so exactly like an old master' (ibid., p. 110).
William Dodsworth was a verger at Salisbury Cathedral: he had published a book on the Cathedral, An Historical Account of the Episcopal See, and Cathedral Church, of Sarum, or Salisbury (1814) and had given a copy to Constable.

Skip to comments.OUTRAGE: DHS Releases 'Thousands' of Illegal Aliens from Prison - Citing 'Budget Cuts'
Posted on 02/26/2013 1:37:41 PM PST by montag813
"Big Sis" betrayed her fellow Arizonans - and all Americans - today by releasing criminal aliens into communities from coast-to-coast
by John Hill
Stand With Arizona
Despite potential budget cuts being 4 days away and Congress and the Administration have been negotiating to avoid them, the Department of Homeland Security has already started releasing hundreds of illegal aliens held in local jails in anticipation of automatic "sequestration" cuts - out of a planned total of more than 10,000 aliens to be released.
Sources tell Stand With Arizona that DHS has "34,000 beds" for illegal aliens, meaning that Secretary Janet Napolitano is releasing nearly 1/3 of all DHS-detained illegal aliens in the United States - despite the fact that no actual cuts have even begun, and despite a record of massive wasteful spending by DHS over the past 3 years.
Napolitano had been warning of potential impact to DHS after impending cuts, but now she has jumped the gun by enacting a "budgetary amnesty" by fiat - releasing thousands of criminal aliens amongst communities and families across the nation.
The New York Times reports that the aliens are being "freed on supervised release while their cases continue in court". But as SWA has reported in the past, many aliens facing deportation or prosecution on immigration holds never show up for those hearings, and remain in the country.
One Arizona Sheriff called the DHS action politically motivated -- and dangerous.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released more than 500 detainees in his county alone over the weekend. ICE officials told Babeu that they plan to release a total of nearly 10,000 illegal aliens.
Babeu described the move as a "mass budget pardon" and suggested the administration was going to unnecessary lengths to demonstrate the impact of the so-called sequester.
"President Obama would never release 500 criminal illegals to the streets of his hometown, yet he has no problem with releasing them in Arizona. The safety of the public is threatened and the rule of law discarded as a political tactic in this sequester battle," he said.An ICE official confirmed the plans without specifying how many illegal aliens might be released.
Spokeswoman Gillian Christensen said ICE had directed field offices to make sure the "detained population" is "in line with available funding." She stressed that ICE would continue to prosecute the cases while keeping them "under supervision".
The announcement comes after DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on Monday warned about the potential impact of the cuts. She said the department "would not be able to maintain the detention beds as required by Congress."
"We're doing our very best to minimize the impacts of sequester. But there's only so much I can do," she said. "I'm supposed to have (thousands of) detention beds for immigration. How do I pay for those?"
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., called the move to release illegal immigrants "abhorrent."
"By releasing criminal immigrants onto the streets, the administration is needlessly endangering American lives," he said in a statement.
In Arizona, Babeu slammed the move, painting his community as a victim of gridlock in Washington.
"Clearly, serious criminals are being released to the streets of our local communities by this mass budget pardon. This is insane that public safety is sacrificed when it should be the budget priority that's safeguarded," he said.
As Arizona, and other states brace for the impact of this disgraceful and lawless action, we call on Sheriffs across America to defy this corrupt DHS Secretary, and detain as many illegal aliens as possible. We know that Sheriff Joe and his deputies are on high alert today as these alien criminals are being set loose in our communities.
Just when you think the shameful pandering and legal anarchy of this Administration can't get any worse, it does...in spades.
|(1) Call Your Representative Now: * Find your elected officials HERE DEMAND Your Reps publically reprimand Napolitano for releasing criminal aliens - puttin the public at risk and making a mockery of the rule of law - before any budget cuts have even gone through.
|(2) Contact Reps. By E-Mail message: * Direct contact your House Rep. HERE
|(3) By Social Media: Go to SWA's Facebook Page and urge your friends to "LIKE" it. (Or if you use Twitter, share our Twitter Page and use the hashtag "#noamnesty" in your tweet). AND "Like" or "Share" this article everywhere as well.
But think about it...
Who's really more dangerous? A bunch of raping, murdering illegal immigrants? Or the group of "takers' that have had their EBT cards cut off...
Bring Obama up on charges of failing to protect and defend the United States and impeach his ass. The sequester argument being made is a red herring. Obama is using typical Illinois style politics cutting things people SEE rather than the bloated bureaucracy. Same thing the asshole pol's do here in Illinois when they try raising taxes. DON'T LET OBAMA GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!!
But, the new unconstitutional freebies to homosexual "partners" in the military will never be cut.
This is the madness we are living in.
Of course, that is exactly what like Obama wants,so we should stop talking about the Obama minions and talk about Obama.
Napolitano is a symptom of the disease. Obama IS the disease.
Citing "Budget cuts" that haven't happened yet? How oh how does Sister Janet propose to retrieve all of those released if/when these "Budget cuts" don't happen? Simple answer, she doesn't. She should be terminated for malfeasance.
Part of Obama's army of chaos inducers now set loose. America's Visigoths.
Americans have no clue what is happening to it - or why.
This is just another of many, MANY mechanisms to create chaos and fear and death.
Because only then, when pain and blood and misery are beyond tolerable, will the people surrender every shred of what they have left for the promise that giving the MarxoFascists total power will return things to 'normal'.
I wonder if any of the guards, etc. will be furloughed.
This is nothing short of OBAMA TORTURING AMERICANS UNTIL WE DO AS HE SAYS. IMPEACH!
Another Half-assed idea from the Half-rican President's favorite dyke.
What should have been done at the time or announcing the release was:
DHS will pay a bounty of $50,000 for any and all illegal aliens killed while committing a felony.
Illegal aliens do not have to remain a drain on the economy. They could easily be transformed into a harvestable resource.
Congress will not do that, no matter what. It creates accountability. Plus, consider that Obama has already issued an executive order that effectively grants amnesty to those in the country illegally. If that wasn't enough to raise an eyebrow, then turning a few loose won't raise an eyebrow either.
Serves two purposes:
1. Another form of amnesty
2.An effective way of demagoguing the entire bogus
"sequester" issue,while getting ready to crow about their "foresight"
in being able to anticipate the vote yet to come.
Whatever havoc is loosed by the illegal aliens being freed
will of course be the Republican's fault.
The Dems have as usual positioned themselves to be in a
perpetual win- win situation.
Throw this on the pile of Impeachable Offenses committed by 'emperor' Hussein 0bama! He has not missed a day pissing me off since he arrived on the scene.
We'll soon find out.
I think the most dangerous of all are the monsters such as the DHS secretary.
Wait a minute. According to Obama, these people are hard workers, paying taxes and taking care of their families.
So, no problem....right Barry?
Why don't they lay off some IRS agents, instead?
Maybe they could lay off some Homeland Security employees, or close TSA.
""Big Cyster" betrayed her fellow Arizonans - and all Americans
Toss-up. 6 of one; half dozen of the other. Both feral groups need *extreme remediation*.
Very Castro like.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Awaiting my call up. A great reason why we need no giving up our 2nd amendment rights. While Florida may need some defense, my home here is my fiefdom and any illegal alien or other bent on doing crime on my property is going to think he landed at Normandy Beach.
Pinal County, Ariz Sheriff Paul Babeu blasted the Washington gridlock regarding the Sequester Budget Battle and says it is already harming public safety in Arizona by ICEs mass release of hundreds of illegals and plans for the release of nearly 10,000 more criminal illegals from prison.
Many of these ICE detainees are held at private facilities, which are contracted to house criminal illegals. ICE reportedly plans to reduce their available beds to 25,700 from their current 34,000. Sheriff Babeu said, Clearly, serious criminals are being released to the streets of our local communities by this mass budget pardon. These are illegals that even President Obama wants to deport. This is insane that public safety is sacrificed when it should be the budget priority thats safeguarded.
ICE agents were paid overtime Saturday and Sunday to release over 500 detainees in Pinal County alone. These criminal illegals were scheduled for deportation, yet now they receive a pardon and once again become the problem of local law enforcement and a burden to the state of Arizona. The President predicts a doomsday scenario and his plans are already being implemented.
Sheriff Babeu concluded, President Obama would never release 500 criminal illegals to the streets of his home town, yet he has no problem with releasing them in Arizona. The safety of the public is threatened and the rule of law discarded as a political tactic in this Sequester Battle.
Listening to the scanner today it sounded like the deputies were involved in a couple of chases involving UDAs. (Un-Documented Aliens)
I am worried enough to load up another 100 rounds of 45s this afternoon
Arizona should round up all of the illegals they can and provide them 1-way air fare to DC.
"Napolitano is a symptom of the disease. Obama IS the disease."
Bought to us 2x by 52% of America. Therein lies the problem.
The left will stop at nothing to destroy this country which they despise. The name Big Sis should be changed to Big Bro.
She looks like Janet Reno's Dyke significant other.
Why not? Its the "revenge" presidency.
It's a budget FREEZE. The budget(s) will remain at their current levels.
This is the left sending a warning shot across conservative's bow. They are saying, "If you don't pay up, we will punish you." This is also your government no longer serving you and the law but showing you who is in power now. This is medievel; a replay of life in Europe in the 1200's.
"The New York Times reports that the aliens are being "freed on supervised release while their cases continue in court".
Most of them are being released on their own recognizance (OREC)to report in to their new location in about two to three weeks. After that they will not be being supervised beyond needing to keep their mailing address up to date with the immigration court they are now assigned to. Some may skip town. If they don't it is likely that their cases would drag on for another year or two. By that time Obama will have freed them on to a path to citizenship anyway.
This will not change even if some kind of deal is reached in the near, medium or long term. This is how it will be done from now on with those convicted of minor offenses, (shoplifting, simple DUI, misc. traffic offenses beyond being here illegally.
This week De Facto legalization/regularization went into high gear. It will remain there. Call it "Catch & Release".
How are you guys enjoying your smaller government?
Those convicted or charged with serious offenses are not being released BTW.
Bought to us 2x by 52% of America. Therein lies the problem
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Make that 52% of those that got off their duffs and voted (how many times is not good but moot)
Of course the deeper down the cesspool we go, the fewer people will admit to voting for this debacle.
Kind of a reverse of who witnessed the "Babe Ruth pointing out a home run" where if all that said they 'witnessed' it the stadium would have collapsed under the weight of them.
Or the 500 million people who fought in the Vietnam War, now that it is over......
Hell we even have 40 year old Vietnam Vets panhandling on the street corners........
Obama will make damn sure that his sequestration threats become reality. Napoltano is a prime example, he has his people in government positions to create chaos. Obama has some very dangerous personality disorders, and now we can include passive-aggressive to the list. He should not have "the code."
The Sheriff should charter some busses and give them a one way ride to Chicago.
DHS was formed to protect them from us
she said. "I'm supposed to have (thousands of) detention beds for immigration. How do I pay for those?"
But Janet why are you arresting immigrants ???
Why dont you just arrest illegal aliens instead ???
as for payment...
Why dont you use Obama money ???

Playing politics. Bass turds.
Obama and co. are have a grand time of it.
The threat that we heard at the airport on our way home from Arizona was that they'd furlough half the TSA employees working the security checkpoints. So instead of eight lines of travelers taking their shoes and belts off to get through airport security, there will be four lines ... twice as long.
This illegal alien "catch and release" program by Janet is consistent with the plan to make the sequester hurt voters.

Swans to sink Arsenal challenge
Swansea warrant a bet ahead of their FA Cup trip to Arsenal on Wednesday night according to our Ben Coley.
- Related Content
Swansea are well on their way to the Capital One Cup final thanks to a win in London, and they're worth backing to repeat the trick at Arsenal on Wednesday.
The Gunners suffered a torrid Sunday with an early sending-off leaving them chasing Manchester City shadows for a good hour, and although they rallied admirably at full-time defeat was tough to swallow.
"It's frustrating because the team afterwards showed great heart, gave everything and showed great desire, but we're a bit too nervous to play in a serene way at home and that shows in the way we start the games," Arsene Wenger told the club's official website, and it's close to impossible to justify backing Arsenal at 1/2 against anyone.
Certainly, they can't be strongly fancied to take care of a side as strong as Swansea.
Michael Laudrup has done a fine job since arriving in the summer and his side's 0-0 draw at Everton on Saturday represented yet another step in the right direction, in a fixture that's seen them struggle recently.
That hasn't been the case against Arsenal.
Last term, only a Michel Vorm error cost the Swans a result at the Emirates Stadium but they got revenge earlier this season when Michu fired them to a comfortable 2-0 win in the league.
Throw in a Premier League victory at the Liberty Stadium and the 2-2 draw that set up this FA Cup replay, and that's three wins and a draw in four games with Arsenal.
Why then are they 6/1?
The obvious answer to that is that they're considered stronger at home, but while that was the case last season they've managed 15 points both home and away this time around.
Perhaps bookmakers are concerned that Laudrup made one or two changes for the first game, with Michu starting on the bench, but those named still outperformed Arsenal for large portions of the game and as they've a week until their Capital One Cup semi-final a stronger side could well be named.
Whatever the case, Swansea are the clear value. They're unbeaten in six games, including against Chelsea, Everton, Arsenal and Manchester United, and their price is an insult to the fine work being done by Laudrup and his talented squad.
In the night's other tie, it's hard not to feel that West Ham have missed their chance to eliminate Manchester United.
The first game was a classic FA Cup tie, with the host underdogs having a right old go at United and capitalising on their weakness defending set-pieces.
But one moment of magic from Robin van Persie leaves United as 1/7 shots to make the next round, and that's hard to argue with.
However, with a trip to Spurs coming on Sunday and their priorities very much elsewhere, it's reasonable to expect a weaker side with strength in reserve on the bench.
With that in mind, United to win by a goal is the call at a shade bigger than 3/1 with Ladbrokes.
Even in terms of bare facts, the case is strong. United have won 23 times in all competitions this year, and 15 of them have been by exactly a goal.
When you consider that was also the case when the Hammers last visited Old Trafford earlier this season, and that half of West Ham's defeats this term have been by a goal, it looks very solid indeed.
The chief concern is that goals have been hard to come by on the road for Sam Allardyce's side of late, but with a make-shift United side almost certain I reckon the visitors can keep in touch.

There is something powerfully ironic about Tim Shaffer's Brutal Legend, a game designed to be a love letter to heavy metal…a letter which would likely include a parcel containing a still-beating human heart. After all, it got published by the biggest third party developer and subsequently sued over by the second-biggest company over publishing rights. Maybe it's that "selling out" is the anti-thesis of metal-ideologies (ideologies that I guess include "don't sell out" and "get fookin' smash...10 out of 11 found this review helpful.

Staring at a heavy metal album cover can muster up many thoughts: why is there a Black Panther shooting laser beams from its eyes? Why do I find that so cool? And what in God's name does this have to do with the actual music? The answer to the latter is normally 'nothing', but the crazy, elaborate heavy metal album covers of old never failed to capture the imagination. They definitely inspired Tim Schafer in his teenage years, and now his team at Double Fine have finally brought it all to life ...13 out of 17 found this review helpful.

Eddie Riggs' [...] Isn't as Long as People Think it Will Be. 4
Let me start off by saying this. Brutal Legend has one of the better RTS systems on console. I'd rank it just behind EndWar and lightyears ahead of just about everything else. However, that in and of itself isn't saying a whole lot. The open world is standard fare for the genre: 4-5 different events repeated ad nauseam with little incentive to go do them or go exploring in the world. This is mainly due to the sense of urgency the game's story is told with. The story itself is pretty good...7 out of 13 found this review helpful.

It's a bit unfortunate, because Brutal Legend could have been a really awesome game, but thanks to its reliance on strategy gameplay that no one was really asking for, it's merely a pretty good one.

Yeah, This was a bit botched 0
Tim Schaeffer is a highly-regarded game developer whose games haven't sold shit in years. Psychonauts was an excellent game that bombed unbelievably poorly. With Jack Black providing the lead voice and a wide array of cameos from legends of heavy metal (it's the most coherent Ozzy Osbourne has been in decades now), Brutal Legend hopes to give Schaeffer some commercial viability in addition to his usual quality.So, how does it do?Honestly, it's a very mixed bag. In the game, you are roadi...0 out of 1 found this review helpful.
fun but buggy and too easy 0
i wish they spent as much time working on the gameplay as they did on the talent. I had no problem beating this game in 3 days. I don't have all of the achievements but it's not worth the repetition to get them. The art is amazing and voice talent is great but i got trapped in spots on the map where i couldn't move until i quit and restarted. i don't like that when you drive off of the edge, you go all the way back to where you did your last mission, even if it is all the way across the map.

Brutal Legend Review 0
Tim Schafer has an incredible resume of games. Two of my favorite games of all time (Psychonauts and Grim Fandango) were creations of Schafer's unique ability to create humor in games, and satisfying gameplay. Brutal Legend seemed like it would continue Schafer's winning record. Sadly, it does not come close. In Brutal Legend, you play as Eddie Riggs, a roadie for a "heavy metal" band, who is killed during a freak on-stage accident. Blood spills onto Eddie's belt buckle and he is transported...0 out of 2 found this review helpful.

This Real Housewife gave a naked lap dance to her personal pap for his birthday
. Her husband knew about it but didn't care. She did a lot more for money back in the day. It is how he met her after all.
Please be Melissa Gorga… Please make this fit!!!!ReplyCancel
I think the key words here are "before they were married". If what is said about her is true, then it's before, during and after. She escorts through an exclusive online booking agency.ReplyCancel
It could also be Gorga but everyone knows she strips while Krupa is a high class Hooker on the d/l in South Beach. Generally not common knowledge to her "Tv fans".ReplyCancel
Although you're right Sandy, can't a girl have a dream ;)? LolReplyCancel
This could be any of them…if these idiots are stupid enough to marry hos…ReplyCancel
Isn't this Krupa's rumored connection to Denise Richards? Talk about turning a ho into a Housewife.ReplyCancel
At 2:45 the next blind gets posted. If you get there before me or Kristin you can be first.ReplyCancel
Krupa & Denise were both call girls in Hollywood…how Denise got her first "acting" part is that a john who was a producer couldn't pay up…so Denise got her SAG card out of itReplyCancel
Talking of Housewives, one of them (I have my suspicions as to who) has had the "Stoopid Housewives" site taken down … sensitive wee sausage that she isReplyCancel
@Susan – For some unknown reason I just cannot get into Miami … or Atlanta, or any of the others except for BH and OC which I hate myself for watching but I do!ReplyCancel
@Anna Belle – you have good stories too! (As well as Hollywood Dime and WriterGirlinLA) – keep 'em coming!
I knew about Denise doing it, but didn't realise that's how she scored her SAG card.ReplyCancel
Are you kidding me, re: Stoopid Housewives?!?! We must get to the bottom of this. Steforded: How do you NOT watch Jersey?
I watch Atlanta here or there, too. It's entertaining, but there are only so many shows that I can faithfully devote an hour to each week, and well Atlanta is not it.ReplyCancel
@Susan – Nope; can't get into Jersey either.
I think it was Yolanda who had the site taken down … SH herself as said on Twitter that she's (Yo) deleted all her DM messages, and suggested that Yolanda didn't like all the house sale and divorce talk.
Someone else suggested Carlton put a spell on it … LOLReplyCancel
Susan, you're not missing anything with those Miami jackals. New York is back next month.ReplyCancel
It's Lisa. That's how she met Lenny.
Stoopidhousewives was taken down by Caroline a few months ago because of illegal use of pictures or something. I know it went back up but wasn't aware that it was taken down again. The person who runs that site is nuts though.
What exactly is StoopidHousewives? And Caroline MANZO got it pulled? I didn't know she had the juice.ReplyCancel
@Katie – it got pulled early this morning. Yes, she is a bit nuts … there's some good stuff in there worth weeding through though.ReplyCancel
@Kristin – it's yet another Real Housewives-dedicated site, but with a twist – the owner publishes all the juicy bits of gossip, and pictures, that the other sites are (probably) too scared to do. My understanding is that she has relationships with some of housewives, who feed information to her. But it's not the sort of place that you'd dare go on and say something nice about anyone on (even a compliment about what one of the housewives was wearing) … try that and you'll get shot down in flames! It's all bitch, bitch bitch about everyone and everything.ReplyCancel
Marty, she used to just sleep with promoters and doormen at clubs. She's really come up in the world if she has a booker now. Circa 2003, her airfare to Miami and drinks was her payment. Romain worked the door at the club he now "owns." After RHOM ends she'll be back to begging on her knees.ReplyCancel

The pink is a neon pink, not so much a magenta and the trim is gold. Super cute. I wish they still had the other colors in my size!"

November 2010 E-News Brief
DOCOMOMO US TOUR DAY 2010 was a huge success and topped more than 1000 participants this year! Of the twenty three tours, Tour Day 2010 covered fourteen states and received an unprecedented amount of press and coverage before the big weekend.
Our friends at Houston Mod enjoyed a
fantastic Tour Day and had perhaps the
largest turnout with more than 230
participants. The tour included a visit to Park
Place Baptist Church, six homes in Glenbrook
Valley and a driving tour of the neighborhood.
People of all ages came out to explore
mid-century modern architecture and
enjoyed a beautiful Saturday afternoon

The Detroit Area Art Deco Society and more than two dozen participants toured Minoru Yamasaki's Michigan Consolidated Gas Company Headquarters Building. The building is considered a predecessor to the World Trade Center design and incorporated similar materials. Directly across the street from the MichCon Building (as it is also known), the group visited "the Spirit of Detroit" which is seen here.

DOCOMOMO US/Chicago and the Chicago Architectural Foundation tours were another successful partnership for the annual Tour Day. The Architecture in the Round: Life & Work of Bertrand Goldberg tour was a big hit and included forty participants. The tour had interior access at Marina City and was well received by tour-takers and docents alike. Sculpture in the Loop, Mies & Modernism: The IIT Campus, Modern Skyscrapers and the Farnsworth House tour were also well attended and enjoyed by all.
Modernism in America's Oldest Neighborhood Tour lead by the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia enjoyed a guided walking tour of the great modern architecture that co-exists alongside restored 18th and 19th-century buildings in Society Hill Philadelphia. More than two dozen participants toured the inside of two private residences and learned how modernism and historic preservation were thoughtfully integrated in one of the greatest examples of mid-century urban renewal.

The DOCOMOMO US/WEWA tour of the Rohrer House in Seattle's Denny-Blaine neighborhood had an exceptional turnout with 120 people in attendance. The house, built in 1949, was designed by John Rohrer, a professor of architecture for 36 years at the University of Washington. The tour included a written history and description, and the homeowners enjoyed talking to everybody.

DOCOMOMO US/New England tour of Brandeis University and Wellesley College was perhaps the most comprehensive at almost five hours and included more than 20 participants.
The New Haven Preservation Trust's A Very Concrete Tour looked at the ways concrete was used in downtown New Haven buildings. The tour included twenty or more participants and was a successful and engaging afternoon.

DOCOMOMO US/Florida Historic Sailboat Bend tour in Fort Lauderdale was a huge success and included a keynote address, panel discussion and a cruise up the Intracoastal. This was an inaugural partnership between DOCOMOMO US/Florida, the Trust for Historic Sailboat Bend, Broward County Historical Commission and Broward Trust for Historic Preservation and both participants and organizers considered it a phenomenal event. The University of Florida tour and the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant tour were also well attended and included more than 150 people. With so many people and such a huge building (165,000 square feet), participants were given a document on the history of the building with some facts and a suggested tour path. In addition to the tour the local Model A club showed up with about a dozen cars and trucks. One of them apparently was built in the plant. For more on all of the DOCOMOMO US/Florida tours visit their website.
DOCOMOMO US/North Carolina toured the Rowe Arts Building at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and was lead by the architect of the building, Murray Whisnant. The tour included copies of the building plans, discussion of the original concept and ideas for the building as well as pointing out what was original and what had been changed.

On an early September Sunday morning, two dozen people of all colors, shapes and ages sat peacefully in Peavey Plaza, the open space next to Orchestra Hall. They sat on cascading steps and listened to the sound of fresh wind, shade trees and emerald water, drawn to a calm and pure place. The graceful steps held the texture of Minnesota sand and gravel, carved like bluffs by streams of water descending to a tranquil pool. Sunlight struck the copper orange fountains clad in running water, drawing in a borrowed landscape of stone, brick and towers of icy glass.
Earlier this week the City of New Orleans issued a demolition permit for the George Washington Carver Junior-Senior High School designed by Curtis and Davis, architects. The Helen Sylvania Edwards Elementary School shared many campus facilities with Carver, but has already been demolished. The integration of three schools (elementary, junior and senior high) on a 65 acre campus in the upper ninth ward allowed the schools to share common facilities (cafeteria, kitchen, auditorium) and yet retain age-segregated classroom buildings. The auditorium was also available in the evening for community events. The striking design of the auditorium with its soaring (40 ft high and 200 ft long) parabolic concrete vault and hinged buttresses is truly monumental. The Federal Emergency Management Association determined the Carver auditorium building eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana has advocated for the auditorium structure to be retained as part of a new campus plan and suggested that it be adaptively reused as an open air pavilion. Unfortunately, the auditorium will be demolished with the remaining buildings on campus.
The concept of a "school village" was first articulated by architect and planner Charles R. Colbert in 1952 in A Continuous Planning and Building Program, an analysis of existing public school facilities in New Orleans and plans for expansion. The city had not built a single school facility in the 1940s and the population was rapidly expanding. Urban land values in center of the city were twenty times higher than in the newer suburbs. Selecting a site of "ninety beautifully wooded acres, at the edge of urban development, six miles away" from the densely populated center of New Orleans would save six million dollars in land acquisition. Colbert calculated that this savings would support nearly a century of "quality bus transportation." Colbert envisioned the buses as "mobile classrooms." The teachers would travel with the students and with a set of visual aids to extend classroom instruction during the commute to their "semi-rural, college-like campus." Though the mobile classrooms never materialized, Colbert's idea of a "school village" formed the basis of the Carver campus plan designed by Curtis and Davis.
In It Happened by Design, architect Arthur Q. Davis recalled that the firm initially was contracted to design a senior high school, a portion of the site allocated for a junior high to be designed by another firm, and room left over for a future elementary school. Curtis and Davis convinced the school board that it was more economical to develop the three schools as part of an overall campus plan from the beginning. The board approved their plan for a more efficient campus of ten buildings linked by covered walkways. In 1957 the plan of the Carver schools gained national recognition winning both Progressive Architecture's First Design Award and the American Institute of Architects' Best Overall Plan for a School Complex.
The 2008 School Facilities Master Plan for Orleans Parish (SFMPOP) called for the demolition of the Carver School suggesting "complete replacement." In fact, the SFMPOP called for the near eradication of the 1950s public schools. The only facility from the era reserved for the future by the SFMPOP is McDonogh 36 (1954, Sol Rosenthal and Charles R. Colbert). This school has been renovated by John C. Williams and reopened this year as the Mahalia Jackson Early Childhood Family Learning Center.
DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana successfully nominated Carver and three other schools to the Louisiana Landmarks Most Endangered List in 2008. McDonogh 39 Elementary School (1952, Goldstein, Paham and Labouisse; Freret and Wolf, Curtis and Davis, associate architects) the first modern school in New Orleans was demolished earlier this year without review. McDonogh 39 (later renamed after local civil rights activist Avery Alexander) was in Gentilly and thus outside of the Neighborhood Council District Review Committee.
FEMA also determined that the classroom buildings at Thomy Lafon Elementary School (1954, Curtis and Davis) and the Phillis Wheatley Elementary School (1955, Charles R. Colbert) were eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Recovery School District's desire to use public funds to demolish these historic structures triggered a Section 106 consultation in accordance with the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act. This consultation has bought these facilities some time during the consultation process, but they are likely to be demolished in the coming year.

In late October, JPMorgan Chase vacated the landmark Manufacturers Trust Company building in New York City and in the process, dismantled and removed from the building a work by famed modernist sculptor Harry Bertoia.
Completed in 1954, the Manufacturers Trust Company branch building at 510 Fifth Avenue in New York City designed by Gordon Bunshaft (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) stood apart as one of the early applications of the International Style to bank design. Housed on the mezzanine level was a unique interior feature designed by sculptor Harry Bertoia. The delicate 70-ft screen, constructed of steel fused on the surface with bronze, copper and nickel plates, was installed to separate the bank customers from bank officers, serving as a divider between the banking hall and rear offices. The exterior metal-and-glass curtain wall made the sculpture partially viewable from the street, rendering it along with other interior details an essential element of the overall character of the building.
The Bundshaft building is a New York City landmark, designated in 1997, but the designation applies only to the exterior, leaving interior details such as the Bertoia screen unprotected. While the sculpture is purported to be in storage, its ultimate fate remains unknown.

Critical History
1The Early Years
Seventeenth and eighteenth-century criticism
Simon Forman's May 1611 account may be considered the first critical reception of the play. Forman treats the play as a cautionary tale against roving peddlers like Autolycus; the transformative restoration of Leontes's family fails to provoke any comment. Taking into account classical principles of play production, Ben Jonson and eighteenth-century neoclassicists after him dismissed The Winter's Tale as rife with "mouldy tales" and plot absurdities. For John Dryden (1672), The Winter's Tale reflects a poetry that lacked "vigor and maturity" and displayed a "lameness of . . . [Plot]": "Besides many of the rest as The Winter's Tale, Love's Labour Lost, Measure for Measure, which were either grounded on impossibilities, or at least, so meanly written, that the Comedy neither caus'd your mirth, nor the serious part your concernment." Alexander Pope chose to deny Shakespeare's hand in the creation of the play in order to dissociate Shakespeare's genius from a "meanly" written play. The sensibility underlying these sentiments can be found in the eighteen-century productions like Macnamara Morgan's The Sheep-Shearing; Or, Florizel and Perdita, produced in 1754, or David Garrick's Florizel and Perdita, a Dramatic Pastoral in 1756. While Garrick retains in abbreviated form both Leontes and Hermioneincluding Hermione's truncated resurrection as a statueboth plays excise the problems highlighted by Samuel Johnson, Pope, and Dryden:
2Both Morgan and Garrick solved the eighteenth-century problem of the play's purportedly inchoate form by excising the first half of The Winter's Tale, the Sicilian scenes of Leontes' jealous rapture, Camillo's and Polixenes' flight, Hermione's trial, Paulina's intercession, the casting out of the babe, Antigonus's death on the seacoast of Bohemia, and Time the Chorus narration of the passage of sixteen years. (Hunt, Critical Essays 6)
3The discordant halves of the story, Antigonus's dispatching by a mischievous bear, and the restoration of family through the Pygmalion-like animation of Hermione all elements that captivate a modern audienceare subjugated to the pastoral romance of two lovers from apparently disparate social classes and the denouement that provides for the comic nuptials. Until John Philip Kemble's 1802 production at Drury Lane, which restored the tragic jealousy and brooding ambience that resonates in the play's first three acts, the The Winter's Tale remained a truncated pastoral shell of Shakespeare's original play.
Nineteenth-century criticism
4Nineteenth-century Romantic critics found their inspiration in productions that restored the tragic dimensions of Leontes and Hermione's story. John Philip Kemble's 1802 production influenced criticism of the early Romantic period. Kemble's 1802 production influenced criticism of the early Romantic period. Moved by both Kemble's portrayal of Leontes and Sarah Siddon's riveting realization of Hermione, William Hazlitt rehabilitated Shakespeare's play as a drama worthy of consideration: "These slips or blemishes [i.e. the choric role of Time, the leaping forward over sixteen years, and the mythical sea-coast of Bohemia] however do not prove it not to be Shakespear's; for he was as likely to fall into them as any body; but do not know any body but himself who could produce the beauties" (qtd. in Hunt, Critical Essays 65). Hazlitt singles out the "stuff" of the tragic dimensions contained within the play: the "romantic sweetness, the comic humour" are demonstrably Shakespeare's work, and Leontes's "crabbed and tortuous style" betrays the "thorny" labyrinthine depths of an unreasonable tragedy. Leontes's psychopathology and Hermione's sainted patience persuade Hazlitt that this play is indubitably Shakespeare's work.
5Similarly, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's regard for the play derived from Leontes's impassioned conviction of Hermione's infidelity, a trait that for Coleridge is given its tragic force in Othello: "an excitability by the most inadequate causes, and an eagerness to snatch at proofs; secondly, a grossness of conception, and a disposition to degrade the object of the passion by sensual fancies and images; thirdly, a sense of shame of his own feelings exhibited in a solitary moodiness of humor, and yet from the violence of the passion forced to utter itself . . . " (qtd in Hunt, Critical Essays 72). Despite the Romantic attention to Leontes and his incipient jealousy, the play failed to generate more than the passing theatrical criticism prompted by performance.

When playing shows from Apps such as Netflix and HBOGO it does not respond very well at all to remote control commands such as volume up/down, exit, etc. Sometimes it does but hardly very much at all. It works fine when watching "regular" satellite TV. I have updated the firmware on the TV and I am sure the batteries in the remote are fresh. Any thoughts?
