By Oliver Yew
Laura Harvey admits that Arsenal Ladies' title hopes were in tatters before Kim Little's goal rescued a valuable point in their top of the table clash against Birmingham.
After the result the Gunners sit two points behind the Blues but with an all-important game in hand. If Arsenal win their remaining three matches against Doncaster, Everton and Liverpool they will be crowned FA Women's Super League champions.
And Harvey is delighted that her side's WSL destiny lies in their own hands.
"It would have been a disaster had we come away with no points but now we still have the title in our own hands. That is all you can ask for," she told Arsenal.com.
Birmingham took the lead through WSL top scorer Rachel Williams but Arsenal hit back in the second half thanks to Little's third goal in two games.
"We started slowly in the first half but we were much better in the second half. I thought a draw was a fair result and we were good value for our point," said Harvey.
"We must now focus on getting maximum points out of our last three matches."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Product Description
Anti-Parasitic These herbs have been used to help rid the body of a wide range of worms, parasites and their eggs. Indicated to be effective against pinworms, ringworms, roundworms, tapeworms, microbial growth and parasitic activity. Contains black walnut, wormwood and cloves as recommended in Hulda Clarks' book, A Cure for All Cancers.
Contents: Fresh Black Walnut hull, Wormwood herb, Sheep Sorrel Herb, Quassia Wood Chips, freshly ground Cloves and Ginger root in a base containing concentrated Alfalfa leaf extract. 15 to 40 drops 2-4 times daily. Recommended to be used for 3 weeks consecutively for best results. Not recommended if nursing or pregnant.
Ingredient descriptions:
Black Walnut Hull (Juglans nigra)
Actions: Tonic, adaptogen, aphrodisiac, mild stimulant, deep immune activator, antioxidant.
Common Use: Fresh black walnut hulls have long been considered a powerful remedy for expelling worms and parasites from the body, it contains rich organic iodine and tannins which contain strong antiseptic properties. Also shown to have oxygenating abilities which may help burn up excess toxins and fatty materials and cleanse the blood. Indicated in a variety of skin problems. This herb is included in Hulda Clark's anti-parasite program.
Wormwood Herb (Artemesia absinthum)
Actions: Anthelmintic, vermifuge, bitter tonic, carminative, anti-inflammatory, parasiticide.
Common Use: The bitter action of this herb stimulates the digestive system, helping indegestion, especially when caused by gastric juice problems. Also one of the best herbs available for treating worm infestations and parasites. Due to the general tonic action it will be of benefit in many diverse conditions because it benefits the body in general. This herb is also inculded in Hulda Clark's anti-parasite program.
Sheep Sorrel Herb (Rumex acetosella)
Actions: Alterative, diuretic, anthelmintic, antineoplastic, antilithic, antiseptic, astringent, carminative, parasiticide, stomachic, tonic.
Common Use: In the 1868 Canadian Pharmacy Journal, the leaves of both the sheep sorrel and the taller common sorrel (Rumex acetosa) were included in the list of Canadian medicinal plants. Sorrel contains a high amount of nutrients including chlorophyll. Chlorophyll closely resembles hemoglobin, the red pigment in human blood, but has at its center a magnesium atom, whereas hemoglobin has an iron atom, and both carry oxygen to every cell of the organism. The chlorophyll molecules that carry oxygen through the bloodstream may do the following: inhibit chromosome damage, reduce the damage of radiation burns, kill germs and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, strengthen the cell walls which may improve the vascular system, heart function, intestines, lungs and uterus, aid in the removal of foreign deposits from the walls of blood vessels, remove inflammation of the pancreas, purify the liver and increase the body's ability to utilize oxygen by raising the oxygen level in the tissue cells. Sheep sorrel is also high in oxalic acid. Dr. N.W. Walker tells us that the human body produces a small amount of oxalic acid every 24 hours and it is excreted through the kidneys. Dr. Edward E. Shook believes that oxalic acid is a powerful oxidizing acid that rouses the human system into activity. It readily combines with calcium to aid in its digestive assimilation and stimulates the peristaltic action of the intestines, thus helping sluggish, prolapsed intestines to regain their normal functions. Oxalic acid also seems to promote faster blood coagulation time, which makes it valuable for hemorrhages. Sheep sorrel has been known to prevent the spread of contagious diseases such as the plague and has overcome fevers caused by cholera and malaria. Its most important healing elements may be chlorophyll and oxalic acid, there is however, much research still to be done to discover the hidden mysteries that make this ubiquitous little plant so vital. This herb is also included in Rene Caisse's Essiac formula.
Quassia Wood Chips (Picaraena exselsa v. sp.)
Actions: Bitter tonic, anthelmintic, sialagogue, parasiticide.
Common Use: Quassia is an excellent remedy in dyseptic conditions due to lack of tone. The quassinoid bitter principles stimulate the taste receptors, causing a reflex increase in the secretion of saliva and gastric juices and thus stimulating the appetite. They also strengthen the contractility of smooth muscle such as the gall bladder, promoting bile flow. It has also been used in the expulsion of threadworms, and is included in Hulda Clark's anti-parasite program.
Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) freshly ground
Actions: Stimulant, carminative, aromatic, antibacterial, antiseptic, stomachic, parasiticide, rubefacient.
Common Use: Cloves are said to have a positive effect on stomach ulcers, it may be used to lessen nausea, vomiting and flatulence and to stimulate the digestive system. It has powerful local antiseptic and mild anaesthetic actions. Cloves contain sesquiterpenes, these have been shown to have significant activity in inducing the detoxifying enzyme glutathione S-transferase in mouse liver and small intestine; the ability of natural anticarcinogens to induce such detoxifying enzymes correlates well with their ability to inhibit chemical carcinogenesis. Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D., N.D., in her book "The Cure for all Cancers", says,"[cloves have a great parasite killing ability], nothing else known can kill the eggs of parasites in the body.
Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale)
Actions: Stimulant, carminative, rubefacient, diaphoretic, stomachic, sialagogue, antioxidant.
Common Use: Ginger may be helpful as a stimulant of the peripheral circulation in cases of bad circulation, chilblains and cramps. It is also used as a remedy for digestive problems, sore throats and as a promoter of perspiration in treating fevers. Japanese researchers have discovered cardiac-tonic principles in ginger root. It is also said to be used with other herbs to enhance their effectiveness.
Alfalfa Whole Herb and Leaf (Medicago sativa)
Actions: Nutritive, tonic, alterative, depurative.
Common Uses: Alfalfa leaves are a very rich source of many valuable nutritients including protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, all the known vitamins, trace minerals, carotene, chlorophyll and more. It is helpful for every condition of the body whether it be maintaining or regaining health.

|2oz. & 4oz. Yes dropper; 8oz. No dropper
Native Essence Herb Company, located just outside the town of Taos in the enchanted mountains of northern New Mexico, began preparing herbal products in 1992. The company began with the Rene Caisse formula (Native Essence Tea). Since then the herb company has expanded the line to include dozens of combination formulas and over 100 single herbs.
All of Herbal Solutions™ extracts are prepared according to specific extraction procedures. Each plant is individually extracted using grain alcohol and distilled water. Some plant's bio-active constituents will dictate the concentration of alcohol used, this ensures maximum extraction. Most of our extracts contain approximately 45% alcohol.
The extraction procedures employed by Herbal Solutions™ also vary according to the individual plant and whether the plant is fresh or dry. All extracts are prepared by a slow, cold percolation process or through a long maceration, with some plants going through the process more than once to increase concentration.
Herbal Solutions™ prepares extracts to specific herb strengths, 1:2 to 1:3 for dry plants and 1:1 to 1:2 for fresh plants. The herb strength ratio is the amount (by weight) of solid plant parts (root, flower, etc.) used to obtain the final amount of extract. Thus, an herb strength ratio of 1:2 means 1 oz. of plant material is used to make a 2 oz. bottle of extract. Since many fresh plants still contain a good percentage of water, more fresh plant material will generally be used when making an extract with fresh plants.

Heather & James
March 24
Dade City, Florida
Q & A with the Bride:
1. Which three details from your wedding were your favorite?
1. The altar: We wanted a "sweet country" feel, so we stacked 3 large round hay bales on top of each other and adorned each one with a white and yellow floral wreath in the center.
2. The favors: We created "make your own butter" favors by providing each guest with a mason jar with a marble in it (for better mixing); and preset the tables with cream and mixed herbs. Our guests had a good time watching the butter form (and the noise created a fun atmosphere).
3. The escort cards: We took 150 small wooden cows, painted them white and used tracing paper to transfer the names in a cursive font onto them. We painted a picket fence yellow and
gave it a rustic treatment to rest the cows on. We had unique cow table numbers to coordinate (each one was printed in a different pattern for an eclectic feel).
2. Give us the one moment in your wedding that you can't stop thinking about.
I can't stop thinking about the moment when the horse and carriage pulled up to the start of the aisle and my dad helped me down. The aisle was so beautiful with yellow rose petals in the shape of hearts, buckets of babies breath lining the white wooden chairs and the large hay bales with gorgeous wreaths–all of which faded into the background as I was walking towards my future husband.

It is amazing that after all this discussion I could still have a question - but ...If I am understanding correctly (which could be a big If), the whole issue of cell size/ regression has to do with the brood area and not the honey supers - true?If true, than it seems like any size could be used for the honey supers - true?Also, if he has no comb, then we are only talking about what kind of foundation (foundationless, wax, plastic) and not cell size or the benefits of using comb. And it appears that everyone has an opinion :)So, I am actually in the same situation, just starting out, no drawn comb to use.So for my honey supers - can I just buy ten empty frames, perhaps put a starter strip on each one, and then put all ten in the super and then expect the bees to draw out ten frames of comb and fill them?
In fact, you can buy honey foundation that has LARGER cells than DRONES, supposedly it discourages the queen from laying in the supers. Haven't tried it.I've used foundationless in supers, and they draw it large, especially if you use foundation in the brood supers. In that case, you want to get the queen excluder on pretty early after they start drawing comb to keep the queen out. In fact, the queen will crawl over 2 or three full capped supers (contrary to conventional wisdom) to lay in drone comb.Rick
and you can get drone foundation which is 6.6mm. I don't know of any over that.
>In fact, you can buy honey foundation that has LARGER cells than DRONES, supposedly it discourages the queen from laying in the supers.Actually I don't know of any. You can get 7/11 from Walter T. Kelley which is about 5.6mm which is BETWEEN worker and drone. You can get 6.0 from Honey Super Cell which is also between, but really is just the small end of drone sized, and you can get drone foundation which is 6.6mm. I don't know of any over that. I have my doubts you could get the bees to build anything over 7.0mm but, in my observation, they would view that as drone.
That comb play makes only beekeeping complex. It does not bring any advantage to beekeeping.
Main points are: 1) raise much workers for main yield. 2) Good queen gives much workers and give to it enough space laying area. It prevents swarming. Swarming is yield enemy Nro 13) Put hives on good pastures. Pastures give the yield.
To play with different kind of cells doest not give more workers or honey or better pastures. It is so called MUDA like Japanese say: waste of process.
Brian says that don't worry about yield, but he has lost the star and does not remember, where. Only under developed people hunt big honey yields.

DVD Audio Volume
I searched the forums and cannot find anythind about this.... I have a 2013 X3 28i with NAV and DVD, etc. Getting a DVD to actually play has been a challenge as the DVD menue doesn't seem to like the pre-recorded "play" options on a DVD. I have sorta figured out how to make that happen now, but it IS not intitutive and sure seems rather ODD. The manual is really NO help either.
However my real question involves the max volume of the audio when playing a DVD. In essence I cannot get it very loud. Nothing like the radio, CD audio, or my Ipod. Does anyone else have (or noticed) this issue/problem?
I was initially thinking that because the DVD is originally designed to work only when the car is not moving, that BMW felt that high volume was not needed (unlike the other audio formats), but still I find it odd. NOW especially that I have coded the unit to play while driving... (NO, I am NOT watching movies while driving!) :rofl: But my wife may want to some day. But still the difference in available volume is really significant.
Perhaps it is "limited" in the coding? :dunno:
Any thought or help out there?
No responses.... hmmmmm...
So there is no one out there with a DVD that has the same/similar issue?
Everybody can get the DVD movie volume as loud as the radio/CD/Ipod? :eeps:
Kevin :)
We have the same issue in our 2013 xDrive 28i. You have to really turn the volume way up on a DVD. If you switch to another source without turning it back down, it blows you our the car it's so loud. We don't ordinarily watch DVDs. We were just playing around in the driveway the day we picked up the car.
Interesting. I am just wondering if its an isolated issue or if the limited volume is by "design" I was hoping to get more responses to give me a clue.
Otherwise... is getting a DVD to play a simple/intuitive process? I really don't believe that my car's DVD menu works like it is supposed to. I had a heck of a time getting past the DVD's disk initial selection menu (ie play, setup special features, sound, etc.) to get the movie to start playing.
Perhaps a trip the the BMW shop is in order - IF I can get them to understand the issue. I have a bit of a language barrier here in Germany.:yikes:
Well, we've tried only 1 Diego kids DVD that was close by when we were fiddling around with the car. I wouldn't say intuitive at all. Takes some experimentation to figure out which buttons to click and also how to get the DVD to play without any iDrive buttons also being on the screen.
But, the volume difference is very noticeable. You should be able to show it to them without even using any words. I have no idea why it would be this way by design.
I haven't tried it with a DVD-A (DVD Audio) Disc because I don't own any. Maybe someone else has tried that.
Same problem here!! Very Annoying actually as I programmed the computer to play DVD's in motion and sometimes forget to turn the volume down when going back to radio and .... ··$%$·%$%
I bet you that all the X3's with DVD's have the same issues
I'll throw my 2 cents in here also to say I have the same "issue" - which I guess isn't an issue since everyone experiences it. Like someone said above, I have to turn the volume WAY up to get my desired level and God forbid I forget to turn it down before turning to another source... it's liable to blow me out of the car. LOL! It's annoying and I at first thought it was because of 5.1 audio which I thought said was supported but then I thought I remember reading somewhere that 5.1 is not supported. Sigh!
Hey Guys,
As the OP pointed out, there is a sound difference between the AUX/iPod/Radio and DVD media sources in the car. The difference is most noticeable on the DVD Source. There isn't anything I know that can correct it, but I can assure you it's more noticeable in Logic 7 systems. Yes if you would like to use 5.1, you need to enable the Logic 7 (tested). If you are not using Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1, you might have issues.
I do not think there is an issue on 2014 X3
I have a '14 X3 with Premium Hi-Fi (the more expensive of the two choices avail. In the US).
I have played one DVD movie (commercially recorded) one time for a short time...essentially to confirm that it worked. I do not recall any problems with either controls or sound levels.
When I get a chance I will give it a more thorough test.
I tried a DVD that I recorded as well as a commercial DVD.
I have a 2014 X3, built 16 April 2014, with the premium sound system (16 speakers, 600W amp, digital sound processor, etc.). I have "surround sound" deselected (off).
Ease of Use
I found the controls a little difficult, but no more so than any DVD player that I have owned. Each DVD player requires that I learn button layouts, some have buttons for functions some do not, some have functions on secondary menus. Each DVD player is different than the other. The player in the iDrive is about average.
Sound Volume
I set up three sound sources:
Same result with both of my test movies.
Regarding the comment: "In essence I cannot get it very loud", I did not have a problem, in getting the volume as loud as I wanted.
The maximum volume I could get from the DVD movie source was definitely lower than what I could get from MP3 or satellite radio. The DVD source appeared to be limited where the other sources did not. That being said, the sound level of the DVD movie was sufficient for me.
Switching the "surround sound" ON altered the quality of the audio - I felt surrounded, though it seemed like a cheap surround experience. It did not increase the volume.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Why do States Abandon Nuclear Weapons?
In this seminar, Gene Gerzhoy, Research Fellow, Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program, will explore why some states with nuclear weapons programs acquiesce to foreign nonproliferation demands, while others refuse to abandon their bomb aims. Although proliferation scholars have increasingly sought to explain nuclear reversals, no theory exists for explaining why states abandon bomb pursuits in response to foreign pressure. To resolve this puzzle, Gerzhoy will argue that nuclear decision-making varies with the target's security stake in nuclear armament and the sender's coercive leverage, which depends on the deployment of inducements aimed at the target's resource dependencies. Gene's hypotheses will then be tested against the historical record of countries that initiated nuclear weapons projects using the method of causal process observation. Coffee and tea provided. Please join us - Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.

Unfortunately .500 isn't good enough for any passionate fan whose team went to the EC 5 years in a row. The big unknown that I am sure was beaten to death in the DetNews forum in 2004 and 2005 was could we have won that title with Carlisle?

Information workers in India are increasingly using their personal devices, applications, and web services to accomplish both personal and work-related activities. Results from Forrester's Forrsights Workforce Employee Survey, Q4 2012 indicate that at least 85% of employees use phone/tablet applications and web-based services for both purposes which is putting corporate information security under serious threat.
My interactions with numerous infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals from large enterprises in India over the past six months have revealed that there is a high degree of awareness of the need to develop a bring-your-own-technology (BYOT) policy. However, actual implementations aren't yet common, as I&O professionals are unable to address management's three key concerns. These are, in order of priority:

Ahh yes, a noob AR question for everyone.
I have plenty of non-AR rifles, but until now no AR. I am not biased against them, I just never saw a need. Of late I noticed the prices becoming decent again and figured I may as well add one to my collection.
I want an AR that is:
1.) Average priced (No need for a gas piston setup)
2.) Rock solid (No super cheap upper/lower made of poorly finished material
I have access to most of the major dealers to buy wholesale, which may help. Putting together my own upper and lower seems like the way to go, need input on that.
So please, suggestions on brand, components, sources, etc. Thanks!

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday so, to find out more, we also asked local journalist Mike Baggaley for his analysis.
"Stoke City played poorly at Newcastle United last week but at home they pose a far greater threat. Peter Crouch is in good form and combines well with Jon Walters, who makes clever runs to profit from the former Spurs striker's link-up play. Matthew Etherington failed to make an impact last week but he is vital to Stoke's attacking play on the left flank.
"Although they lack technical quality in midfield, Stoke are tigerish in the tackle and win a lot of loose balls. Newcastle's Papiss Cisse gave their defence a tough time last week but Robin van Persie and co will need to be at their best to break them down."
"At their best, Stoke will play with two wingers in Matthew Etherington and Jermaine Pennant. The two central midfielders I would probably guess will be Dean Whitehead and Glenn Whelan - they are really hard-working, box-to-box players who do a lot of the spade work. The two wingers also work very hard but there is a lot of reliance on them to create out wide.
"Jon Walters plays just behind Peter Crouch up front and he covers enormous distances during the game. He has played an awful lot this season and may well feature for the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2012 in the summer.
"Crouch is their top goalscorer with 13 goals and he has been excellent - he rarely misses an opportunity to score. But generally speaking their successes this season have been built on a solid defence. Stoke have scored the fewest number of goals in the entire league but at the back they have been very good with Robert Huth and Ryan Shawcross excellent in the middle.
"I don't know, in reality, how much the physical side of Stoke's game has had an impact on Arsenal at the Britannia in recent years. But I do feel as though Stoke like trying to prove a point because there seems to be a little bit of a grudge between themselves and Arsenal. Certainly the supporters take that point of view, they enjoy beating Arsenal more than most other sides.
"But for some reason Stoke have had that success which they haven't particularly had over the other teams in the top four or five. Having said that, none of the top sides apart from Newcastle have won at the Britannia this season so that is something they will be looking to continue on Saturday.
"I think Pennant is key for them if fit. He was ill against Newcastle but he really does give Stoke a creative spark. He can go past players and run with the ball, which is important to the defence as well because he can take it out from the back and give them breathing space. His set-piece delivery is also excellent and because he takes on players he tends to win free-kicks as well.
"I am reluctant to say it will be an in-your-face performance from Stoke but I do think they will look to close Arsenal down. The crowd will certainly get behind them, which has generally been the case in the bigger games here. Stoke will be looking to deny Arsenal space and get plenty of balls into the box, although Wojciech Szczesny has obviously emerged as a very good goalkeeper.
"As usual they will look to use set-pieces to their advantage. They don't apologise for that, they work very hard on them and score a huge percentage of their goals that way. I think Stoke are a due a win myself so I will say 2-1."


text: Anyone here put together a Fett costume using their favorite parts from different versions. For example, I like the ESB helmet, but I like certain elements of the ROTJ costume. Which in effect, I know is basically the SE suit. But I like the ESB cape, jumpsuit, gloves and I like the ROTJ jetpack, gauntlets. I realize as a whole the costume is not "screen accurate" but if it is an amalgam of accurate pieces, what is the consensus on this. Any thoughts?

If your weight loss resolutions for 2017 are still intact but you need some help, we've gathered 10 tips from Redbook that will have you celebrating Weight Loss Awareness Month by burning fat faster and melting away those pounds. [ + - ]
Drink lots of green tea [ + - ]
Green tea is known for its cancer-fighting benefits, but it can also help boost your metabolism too thanks to catechins, which increase levels of the metabolism-speeding brain chemical norepinephrine. [ + - ]
Eat your iron [ + - ]
If you're low on iron, your body can't get enough oxygen to your cells, which slows down your metabolism, says nutritionist Samantha Heller. Multivitamins are a good choice, and so are three to four daily servings of foods rich in iron like lean red meat and chicken. [ + - ]
Kickstart your workout [ + - ]
Add bursts of high-intensity moves into your workout through interval training as a surefire way to boost your metabolism. Add a 30-second sprint every five minutes of your run, or run at an incline for five minutes on the treadmill. [ + - ]
Challenge yourself with a new sport [ + - ]
The more you do a certain workout, the more your body is going to adjust and the fewer calories you're going to burn. Consider trying a new sport through cross-training to rev up your metabolic after-burn. [ + - ]
Check your thyroid levels [ + - ]
A sluggish metabolism may be a sign of an underactive thyroid, which afflicts about 25 percent of American women, although most don't know they have it. Hyperthyroidism can be detected with a blood test, and treated with medication. [ + - ]
Water, water and more water [ + - ]
According to a German study, drinking about two glasses of water within a certain time frame ups your metabolism by about 30 percent. [ + - ]
Pump some iron [ + - ]
It's well known that muscle burns more calories than fat, but weight training also increases your resting metabolic rate, which is the number of calories you burn while sitting. [ + - ]
Lay off the booze [ + - ]
Wash your dinner down with water, not wine. Alcohol has been shown to slow your metabolism by depressing the central nervous system. [ + - ]
Eat more dairy [ + - ]
A study published in the journal Obesity found that women who ate three to four servings of low-fat dairy products each day lost 70 percent more fat than those who didn't eat as much cheese and yogurt. Calcium appears to act as a switch, telling your body to burn excess fat faster. [ + - ]
Get fishy [ + - ]
Eating fish regularly is linked to lower levels of the hormone leptin, which can cause low metabolism and obesity. Try to eat three to four servings of fatty fish like salmon, tuna or mackerel each week. [ + - ]

Students taking AMT and AMV for credit participate in music juries at the end of those terms. A final recital or joint recital is not a requirement, but may be considered in consultation with the vocal instructor.
Students are highly encouraged to pursue summer internships, auditions and tech opportunities. Students are also encouraged to consider a complementary minor or major, such as a minor in dance. A minor in theatre may be completed only if four credits toward the minor are a discrete list separate from the courses used to complete the major in musical theatre.

The Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower has become the laughing stock of the world after the latest episode in "Rising Stars" being transformed into flickering specks descending into the dark holes of space. Senator John Ensign was discovered shacking up with a member of his staff who was married to another member of his staff, Senator Larry Craig has an unfortunate episode in a men's room in Minnesota while his colleague, former senator Norm Coleman of that state, has doomed his party in the eyes of inhabitants by an ongoing series of law suits seeking to deny Al Franken the victor in an election the right to obtain his senate seat. Of course, out in the wilds of Alaska Sarah Palin is shooting moose or squirrels in order to prove she is as good as any man in the Republican party. Of course, these days, she would be better off proofing she was better than any woman in the party when it comes to intelligence. Then again, she might be better off shooting moose.
But, to top off this conglomeration of ineptitude, Governor Mark Sandford of South Carolina has returned from his supposed trip hiking on the Appalachian Trail to reveal he wasn't hiking at all, but wandering around some unknown destination in Argentine. He lied to his wife, he lied to his children(on Father's Day, no less), he lied to his staff, he lied to the Lt. Governor, and he certainly lied to the people of his state. Another "rising star" of the Republican Party is now a dark shadow in the wilds of Argentine.
Oh, we forgot the ongoing rising star of Bill Bennett, that paragon of supposed intelligence who complained to the media that President Obama was not adopting a forceful stand on Iran and should do something bold like sending phone cards and Xerox machines to the youth of Iran. Exactly how the Xerox machines would be delivered is unclear although there are rumors they might be sent via a ship from Argentine. Ah, now we know why Governor Sanford was in Argentine!

World Series of Poker: Recap of First Two Weeks of 2013 Event
special to OddsShark by Earl Burton (PokerNewsDaily.com)
The first two weeks of the 2013 World Series of Poker have brought a great deal of excitement to the railbirds around the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino.
Some familiar former champions have reappeared on the scene (or come close), making history through the first 16 events of this year's tournament schedule. While one tournament in its own right has made history, there have been some worries over other events that haven't drawn in the players they did in 2012.
Here is the latest World Series of Poker news as of June 11.
Mike Matusow, Tom Schneider Win Bracelets; Allen Cunningham Comes Close
Over the first two weeks of the 2013 WSOP, what has been a bit surprising is the number of top professional players who have been taking part in some of the lower buy in tournaments.
Normally the pros reserve their efforts for the "big money" events ($5000 and up) or non-Texas Hold'em tournaments and avoid the minefield that the lower denomination tournament have become with their massive fields. With that said, there have been some notable performances over the first fortnight of the WSOP.
June 7 was one of those days where the pros' skills shone on the WSOP stage. Mike Matusow, coming off his victory at the National Heads Up Poker Championship in January, emerged as the champion of Event #13, the $5000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo tournament.
Matusow's victory was not only sweet in that it was his fourth ever WSOP bracelet win (putting him in some rarefied air) but also in that he defeated a tough field to get there. Mike Leah, Gavin Smith, Yuval Bronshtein and David "Bakes" Baker all tried to stop Matusow, but "The Mouth" wouldn't be denied!
Also on June 7, Allen Cunningham came thisclose to joining Matusow on stage to receive a bracelet. Cunningham battled against Lev Rofman in the $1500 Pot Limit Hold'em event, holding the lead at the start.
Rofman would slowly work his way back to even, however, and end up winning Event #12, denying Cunningham his sixth bracelet.
Finally, just last night, 2007 WSOP Player of the Year Tom Schneider earned his third bracelet in Event #15, the $1500 H.O.R.S.E. tournament. Schneider defeated such players as Frankie O'Dell, Rep Porter and eventual runner-up Owais Ahmed on his way to taking the WSOP gold and the $258,960 first place prize.
In the years since his POY run, Schneider's wife, Julie, had arguably been more successful in making two final tables, but Schneider put that behind him with his championship run on the felt in H.O.R.S.E.
"Millionaire Maker" Exceeds Expectations
The "Millionaire Maker," Event #6 on the WSOP schedule, was one of the events closely watched by pundits to determine how "big" this year's WSOP would be. The tournament guaranteed a first place prize of at least $1 million and WSOP officials expected 5000 entries for the event.
With two starting flights – and the opportunity for those who were eliminated in the first flight to re-enter the second – the "Millionaire Maker" ended up bringing the largest non-Championship Event field in WSOP history to the tables, a total of 6343 entries.
When the final table concluded on June 3, it was Canada's Ben Chen walking off with the top prize of $1,199,104. Other notables at the final table included WSOP bracelet holder Dan Kelly (5th, $302,104) and online wizard Chris Hunichen (6th, $299,575).
Attendance – Up or Down?
Although the "Millionaire Maker" exceeded the expectations of WSOP officials, there have been other tournaments that have fallen a bit short. Event #9, the $3000 No Limit Hold'em Shootout tournament, only drew in a field of 477 when it was capped at 2000 players on June 3.
The $10,000 Heads Up No Limit Hold'em event, which started on June 7, was capped at 512 players and only pulled in 162. Even some of the smaller buy in tournaments have failed to meet their 2012 numbers, a concern as the WSOP rolls deeper into its schedule.
With five more weeks on the agenda, there is plenty of time for more history to be made at the 2013 WSOP.
With such tournaments as the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, the $111,111 One Drop High Rollers event and, of course, the $10,000 Championship Event waiting down the road, it promises to be an exciting time for poker players and fans as the 44th Annual World Series of Poker rolls along.

I waited day and night for the voice of God within me, to know what He had to say to me, to learn what I had to do. In this seclusion the earliest realisation, the first lesson came to me. I remembered then that a month or more before my arrest, a call had come to me to put aside all activity, to go in seclusion and to look into myself, so that I might enter into closer communion with Him. I was weak and could not accept the call. My work was very dear to me and in the pride of my heart I thought that unless I was there, it would suffer or even fail and cease; therefore I would not leave it. It seemed to me that He spoke to me again and said, "The bonds you had not the strength to break, I have broken for you, because it is not my will nor was it ever my intention that that should continue. I have had another thing for you to do and it is for that I have brought you here, to teach you what you could not learn for yourself and to train you for my work." Then He placed the Gita in my hands. His strength entered into me and I was able to do the sadhana of the Gita. I was not only to understand intellectually but to realise what Sri Krishna demanded of Arjuna and what He demands of those who aspire to do His work, to be free from repulsion and desire, to do work for Him without the demand for fruit, to renounce self-will and become a passive and faithful instrument in His hands, to have an equal heart for high and low, friend and opponent, success and failure, yet not to do His work negligently. I realised what the Hindu religion meant. We speak often of the Hindu religion, of the Sanatan Dharma, but few of us really know what that religion is. Other religions are preponderatingly religions of faith and profession, but the Sanatan Dharma is life itself; it is a thing that has not so much to be believed as lived. This is the Dharma that for the salvation of humanity was cherished in the seclusion of this peninsula from of old. It is to give this religion that India is rising. She does not rise as other countries do, for self or when she is strong, to trample on the weak. She is rising to shed the eternal light entrusted to her over the world. India has always existed for humanity and not for herself and it is for humanity and not for herself that she must be great.Sri Aurobindo

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by martyross, Sep 8, 2012.
Is this a serious post?
Just watched
W/P-SP was lovely, FD I see potential, I liked it.
C/L- It's alright I guess, nothing special or different
P/B- I like them, I like the Rolling Stones, so I should like this...
well I don't. Like a few others I couldn't get through it
either. 'The Mummy' kinda grew on me and it is early in
the season but I just don't see it happening. I feel like
this is so 'beneath' them. Now that I'm writing about it I
feel depressed just thinking about it I actually think I hate
it and that makes me
OMG!! Hell to the no!! Lol I don't even know what to say...just no. Actually for some reason I kept imagining Scott wearing tights for their FD (I think it's because of some of the Carmen ballet pics everybody was posting) and it scared me, but then I thought he would never ever wear something like that. Anyways I'm glad to know there's a rule that makes it impossible. And I also don't think Tessa and Scott wouldn't skate to a program they want because of what they can or can't wear. I'm definitely in the minority, but I don't even want them to do a ballet program next season; I rather see a blues number or something.
ETA: Sequins I agree about P/B's FD, I actually thought I would like it, but it was the b-word for me.
I usually don't like P&B's FD's, especially at the start of the season. I usually find their SD's (and OD's) stronger conceptually. But they usually convince me based on content and skating skills by the time Worlds come around. I still find this years FD theme one dimensional and a disappointment but even though I feel the artistic side is a let down I think the athletes will give a strong fight.
I am not too concerned about interviews (DW). They cant very well say that their program is generic or whatever. It has to be the biggest and the bestest. Meryl is the epitome of a ballet dancer etc etc. Its called tooting your own horn to create an aura.
The proof will be in the pudding and how it progresses during the season.
I join you in that minority.
Exactly. All skaters will say they have the most innovative music, or choreography, or that this season they're better than ever. Well, good for them for believing in themselves but it doesn't mean anything till they actually compete and the programs are judged.
Tights are illegal anyway.
Good. That's a relief. I had forgotten.
But the example of I&K would remind anyone of why trying to make a true ballet program (as opposed to one done to music from a ballet) has its pitfalls. If you recall at the time, their coach went on about how only I&K could skate a true ballet program. And then we all got to watch it.
Pitfall one: the guy can't dress in tights. Now the program is a guy who can be taken for a guy off the street, dancing with a ballerina, as in who's Joe Schmoe up there with Maria Tallchief?
Second pitfall. Illinykh wore a tutu of sorts, and many said, "Aha, that's a coverup for the fact that they skate so far apart you could drive a golfcart between them. With the tutu in the way, they can't be faulted for skating far apart and doing a very open program with no transitions to speak of." One of Tessa & Scott's strong points is that they skate very close together. Another is that they do great transitions. Why would they give those advantages away by having Tessa wear a tutu?
Okay, the guy is not in tights, the girl is not in a tutu, They skate a program to ballet music. Which is fine, and they would do a great job, but now it is not a ballet program. It's a program to ballet music, which is fine.
If I were in a team that wanted to do ballet on ice, I'd do it in a Canadian TV special, with Scott in tights, and Tessa in an outfit correct to the ballet they were putting on ice, and it would be a great show.
So no, I do not think they should do a ballet program for a competitive program. And I think they would do a great blues; the swooping, held notes of a slow blues would let them show their deep edges, & closeness of skating.
Furthermore, I think the point of their hockey skater/ballerina exhibition number was that Scott is not crazy about ballet on ice, even though Tessa is...which would be a problem for any coach/choreographer. You don't want the guy to be a reluctant participant in a program. But that is just conjecture on my part.
Scott's the one injured this time, so the secret baby conspiracy theory wouldn't fly, unless part of the theory is some sort of outstanding scientific/medical miracle. But never underestimate what kind theory people would come up with online.
Fan girl in me wouldn't mind either, but not in competition. My fantasy photoshoot for T/S would be them sort of like in their body fit black practice outfit doing their dance moves/lifts, but in a professional studio. Love the practice pics taken of them last year but it would be awesome to get something captured in the controlled environment of a studio, get the best angles/lighting/timing etc, make it cover worthy material.
Well, my take on the hockey player/ballerina ex is that it is their story, literally. It is them. Two very different people finding a common ground and dancing great together. Or maybe that's the uber in me speaking.
Like Doris said, I have always wanted them to do a blues number which would indeed show off their many strengths.........maybe next year
So Charlie will wear this? Cant wait SA
Yes, V-M never need to do ballet dance, because Meryl is truth balerina. And V-M need to sakte something (slow blues) wich help D-W become OGM in Sochi.
Doris, with all your "love" to V-M i dont think i will pay attention to your opinion about what they need to wear or what music they need to use.
I've got my fingers and toes crossed for a blues number next year.
Any skaters won OG with slow blues?
pani, I don't think Charlie will wear tights, and I don't expect D&W's Giselle polka will be particularly balletic, either. I was not the one who went on about Meryl's ballet training, after all. For one thing, I'm not a balletomane in any case.
For another thing, there are several places in the YP where you are supposed to point your heel rather than your toe, which isn't balletic in any way at all.
I don't expect anyone to take my opinion about anything, either, for that matter-either about D&W, I&K or V&M or the price of pork chops.
I just think ballet on ice is pretty whack for any team, especially for a competitive program, and I&K's program showed the difficulties perfectly. YMMV.
Not off the top of my head.... But, then again, there have only ever been 10 OGM ice dance programs at this point in time. There's no reason that a well-choreographed, extremely well skated blues program wouldn't win the Olympics. OGM's aren't won on the basis of the music style alone.... Between their connection and the quality of their skating, V/M would be able to do an outstanding blues...
Also, I think the argument could be made that if U/Z had done the blues program they used in 93 for 94 instead, they would've/could've won the OGM in 94.
But he didnt For OG you need programs, wich will put people on there feets. I am not sure slow blues could made this. And with new rules ice dance team couldnt use only one blues - they need to have changing of rythm/mood.
No, they didn't use the blues program. They used the Fellini program. Although I personally enjoy it, it was not the greatest choice for them in an Olympic year. I don't think it's a leap to say U/Z would have faired better with the blues in 94.
I understand that the rules are different now. That said, the Blues genre itself is both vast and deep, with a myriad of different styles within. Plus, there are other styles of music that pair well with the blues. They do a section of their FD as a slow, sultry blues... No big deal.
And, yes, I remember you saying before that you're not a big blues fan. It's likely we won't agree on this.
ETA: I think Doris makes some excellent points about the difficulties of doing a straight-up translation of ballet into ice dance. On paper, it sounds like a really good idea, especially when you think about Tessa's extensive background in ballet. In reality though, as evidenced by I/K's program in the 10/11 season, it's hard to do in practice.
I like blues, but dont think this music could bring gold in ice dance
And when i watched juniors SDs this season i notice, that i hate when teams need use blues with some more "happy" music
Because I-K couldnt at that point show this FD in good way I am sure T-S could show realy great Don Qiote FD, but we will never see this
If someone could do this- its V-M for sure. But D-W will skate ballet, yes.
And i read all, what Doris post about V-M at GS, so i know what she is thinking about them.
I guess it's someone else who doesn't like blues. I swear there's someone who doesn't.
I think a V/M blues would win. You also have to admit that a V/M blues would be unlike (and way better) than what the junior teams are doing this year. Plus, plenty of music that's not happy that would pair with the blues.
Like i said before, with new rules V-M couldnt made FD in U-Zh style.
And like you know, judges let some teams to not pay attention to the rules, but not others.
Shows that you haven't seen much ballet. Those days, only in a small percentage of ballet productions ballerinas actually wear tutus. Even in classic ballet they don't always wear tutus. As for male dancers - they do wear tights in classical ballets, if those ballets are staged in a classical style, but there's also modern ballet, and more modern stagings of the same classical ballets. In such cases, male dancers don't always wear tights (sorry, I don't have enough time to go looking for photos now). But that doesn't make it a dance to ballet music instead of real ballet.
Of course, in 'Swan Lake' dancers are always (as far as I know) dressed in classical costumes, but Tessa and Scott wouldn't have to necessarily choose 'Swan Lake' music for their FD.
I think you're mistaken. She isn't wearing a tutu.
Thank you, pani. Okay, he is dressed in a hugging costume the lower part of which is practically tights here, but at least she is not dressed in a tutu. This kind of dress is actually what comes to my mind when thinking of many ballets.
I would love to see a V/M Blues .You can find lots of variety of tempo in Blues , and I thought it didn't even need to change tempo as long as there was a sense of the music building toward the end( e.g. fuller orchestration , building to a crescendo ) as W/P's Malade did last year.
I was never a fan of U/Z's blues interpretation .. didn't he shake her by the neck at one point ? ... Fine skating yes , but it never made me say , " Now that's the blues " . They retained just too much European sensibility for my taste .
By the way, thanks for that link, Pani. Absolutely gorgeous, I was enthralled.
When people speak of blues and orchestration, I think jazz or at least jazz-blues is what they mean, rather than real blues. Blues in the classical sense is more about guitars - acoustic in it's beginnings, and then also electric in later times. Plus drums, probably some keyboards and/or brass (saxophone and so on). But with a saxophone and keyboards, or even piano that's already a more jazzy sound. In truth, the more instruments, and the bigger an "orhestration", the further from "real" blues it gets.
By the way, Tessa and Scott's 2010/2011 season FD's 'Temptation' part can be considered a jazz-blues, although essentially it's more jazz. And I wouldn't want to see a repeat. They would have to choose a different, more bluesy kind of blues.
Yes, in reality Temptation is blues, but not rhumba
Neither is Hip Hip Chin Chin, but they did it anyway

Repeal of death penalty introduced in Colo.
DENVER - Repealing the death penalty in Colorado will be under review with a bill introduced in the state Legislature.
The proposal to abolish capital punishment got introduced in the House on Friday.
There are currently three men on Colorado's death row. But if the bill becomes law it would not apply to current cases, including the man charged in last summer's Aurora theater shootings. Prosecutors are weighing whether to seek the death penalty in that case.
One of the three men on death row, Nathan Dunlap, has exhausted his appeals and an execution date could be set soon. He was convicted in the shooting deaths of four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese in 1993.
The last time Colorado executed someone was 1997.

Facilities for geology in Science Hall include five laboratories for use in class, three large preparation-storage rooms adjacent to the laboratories, an aqueous geochemistry laboratory with an Ion Chromatograph, an x-ray analysis and scanning electron microscopy laboratory, a soils laboratory, a seminar-map room, a darkroom, and a microcomputer laboratory with direct access to the University's Alpha computer network and the Internet. Laboratory access is incorporated into many course activities. The Geology Department also has many field meters and test kits, especially for flow and water quality monitoring. The local stream, Buck Creek, is monitored with telemetry that is available for student use in class.
The Department offers computers with GIS capabilities. Furthermore there are both teaching and research collections of fossils, minerals, and rocks. Binoculars and petrographic microscopes, multimedia audio visual records of geological phenomena, drafting equipment, are routinely used by students for class exercises.
The x-ray laboratory is equipped with a computer-controlled diffraction goniometer, and three powder cameras. For preparing rock and fossil specimens, one lab features special equipment such as trim and slab saws, lapidaries, and mechanical abrasive cleaning devices. Chemical benches and fume hoods, low temperature drying ovens, centrifuges, analytical balances, vibrolap, and other equipment for the studying sediments are also available to students.
Geology students also complete class-related projects and directed research in the Lutz microscopy laboratory, equipped with a Hitachi S2460N variable pressure scanning electron microscope with Kevex EDS chemical analyzer.
In 1974, David H. Wilson of Louisville, Kentucky, gave a large and exceptionally fine collection of fossils. This collection of more than 30,000 specimens became the basis for a Geological Research and Teaching Center in the Department. This museum enables students to do research on a variety of fossils, minerals, and other geological materials as well as to gain valuable curatorial expertise in designing and constructing museum exhibits. The Center, which has continued to grow because of donations from alumni and friends, is both outstanding and unique for a school of Wittenberg's size.

Veterans for Peace, was initially granted a permit to particpate in the Memorial Day parade in Washngton, but after it was discovered the group planned to express political views, their scheduled march was cancelled. Members of the Veterans for Peace organization argued "we are a veterans group like any other except we have the word 'peace' in our name." The American Veterans Center which organizes the parade claimed "we don't allow groups in the parade that are projecting an opinon."
The very essence of holding parades to commemorate Memorial Day is a political statement in itself. It is doubtful if President Bush made a speech praising efforts in Iraq that he would be denied the right to speak. Any comment in support of the current war is not "poitical" in the view of organizers of the parade. Unfortunately, those who fought for this nation will not be allowed to march.

The Revolutionary City
On May 15, 1776, from The Capitol of what was England's first permanent colony in the New World, Virginia legislators instructed their delegation at Philadelphia's Continental Congress to introduce a resolution to make the colonies independent from Great Britain. The gentlemen at Williamsburg sat in the oldest representative assembly in what was then the world's newest nation. The assembly traces its beginnings to 1619 when the House of Burgesses first convened at Jamestown.
- Nearby: The Gaol * Benjamin Powell House * Presbyterian Meetinghouse * Christiana Cambell's Tavern
Standing as evidence of the position the king's representative enjoyed in the capital of England's largest American colony, the Governor's Palace was the third largest public building in Williamsburg. The 3,380-square-foot Georgian home included an 11-bin wine cellar. The immaculate grounds offered a formal garden and natural park that stretched to the north. The stable, carriage house, kitchen, scullery, laundry, and an octagonal bathhouse were arranged in service yards. It was an elaborate household requiring 25 servants and slaves to tend.
- Nearby: Everard House * Play Booth Theatre
Raleigh Tavern was the center of events and a gathering place where plans were made to join other colonies in the American Revolution. Meet people from the past and then enjoy freshly baked gingerbread cakes in the adjacent Bakery.
- Nearby: Silversmith * Printer * Apothecary * Prentis Store * Tarpley's Store * Milliner * Wigmaker * Shields Tavern * King's Arms Tavern
See The Magazine, the colonial arsenal housing a collection of muskets and cannon. Take part in musket-firing demonstrations and drills, watch the militia, and listen to the fife and drums.
Pretend you are justices, defendants, and witnesses at The Courthouse, and then swing into Chowning's Tavern, one of the most popular places for BBQ, beers, and ales.
Bruton Parish Church was the Anglican church of the capital and is still active today.
- Nearby: The Colonial Garden and Nursery * Geddy House and Foundry * Mary Dickinson Shop * Wythe House * Greenhow Store
Richard Charlton's Coffeehouse re-creates the 1765 hotbed of political, business and social activity adjacent to the colonial Capitol.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is reconstructing an industrial site that helped forge the American Revolution. The new buildings, which include the armoury, a kitchen, privy, two storage buildings, and a tinsmith's shop, will be located on the site of the present blacksmith's shop. When complete, Anderson's Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury will reflect the complexity and urgency of mounting a war effort against the world's most powerful 18th-century nation.
A Day in the Revolutionary City
Become a part of our community at war. Meet the townspeople, tradespeople, shopkeepers, political figures, women, and the enslaved that call Williamsburg home—and learn of their hopes, struggles, and fears in these uncertain times. As you explore the challenges of daily life set against the backdrop of revolution, look for the many opportunities to play your role as a citizen of the Revolutionary City.
Experience 1775 and the Beginning of the Revolution
Take part as American colonists make the life-altering choice of whether to remain loyal to the British king or to fight for a free and independent nation. Join an angry mob as they storm the Governor's Palace to demand the return of the colony's gunpowder.
Engage in Battle in the Years 1776–1781
Get caught up in the stories of struggle and hardship. Witness the arrival of news of the Declaration of Independence and join the debate over the meaning of "All men are created equal." Be there as Benedict Arnold occupies the town and imposes martial law on its
Prepare to March to Victory and Independence
Join the troops as they muster to march to Yorktown and prepare for what they are certain will be a victory to guarantee American Independence.
Find Revolutionary Fun for Kids
Young patriots will find many special opportunities to explore and engage with the Revolutionary City and its residents. Go undercover and help save the cause of America with RevQuest: Save the Revolution or join the army and learn about the life of a soldier at the military encampment. Play colonial games at the Benjamin Powell House and get a glimpse of daily life from a child's perspective.
The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg
The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum features an extensive collection of American and British antiques, showcasing furniture, metals, ceramics, glass, painting, prints, firearms, and textiles from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
Young patriots can enjoy hands-on activities and exhibits throughout the year, such as Wee Folk, Map Quest and Crack the Code. Also see the Public Hospital exhibition depicting the treatment of mentally ill patients. Visit the Museum Shop and the Museum Cafe, too.
Under the same roof, you'll find the award-winning Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, the oldest institution in the United States dedicated solely to the collection and preservation of American folk art.
Bassett Hall was the home of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller during the restoration of the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area. Tour the house and walk among the gardens and the woodland trails established during the 1940s.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by robin83, Apr 29, 2010.
Would you like some blackberry jam with that?
That's an after the fact "high road". His statement prior was anything but.
I hate when my blackberry jams.
Do we have to eat the jam alone? Can I have it on toast? Or is there no toast sponsor?
I never knew that getting concussions and having surgery were forms of whining. I need to have my dictionary updated.
I have no comeback for this.
I did have a concussion a couple years ago. Apply that as needed to understand my posts...
I'll take some! Yum!
And I guess this would be an after the fact "low road"? But I guess it's OK b/c Johnny is the one being persecuted by Big Bad Corporate America ). (and when did Evan get hip replacement surgery?)
No, Johnny has just whined about the USFSA, his scores, the Oly village (twice), how it wasn't his fault he sucked at '09 Nats and he should be put on the World team anyway, and then there was that memorable fall at '06 Worlds where he stayed down on the ice for an extended pause before getting up and giving up on the rest of the program. He should consider himself lucky that he competed under IJS b/c I think under 6.0 he would have been left off a few more World/Oly teams. I really hope Johnny doesn't compete next season, b/c I've had enough of him and his psycho uber fans.
And don't forget about how he felt black inside.
I want to see it painted, painted, painted black!
Poor Johnny. All he wants is a little
He keeps trying to tell us what it means to him.
Wha . . . ?
That would be Yagudin. Those Olympic Champions are the WORST whiners. Whiners all of them- Knee whining gets you World Gold, but for Olympic Gold it's hips and broken toes.
After placing 2nd in the SP in the 2006 Olympics, he left out some jumps in the LP and landed in 5th overall. Later he said he was black inside - had lost his aura or something like that. And blamed it on having missed the earlier bus.
Here is the quote http://figureskatersonline.com/news/2010/02/09/meet-team-usa-johnny-weir/:
I missed the bus, he said after the free. They changed the schedule. It was every 10 minutes. Today it was every half-hour. I was late getting here and never caught up. I never felt comfortable in this building. I didnt feel my inner peace, I didnt feel my aura. Inside I was black.
I wonder what he would consider to be whining.
OMG, I didn't notice this thread before! XD
It's OK .We all are getting tired of his weirness but you can't deny one thing : it's entertaining and fun most of the time but calling Evan a "slore" that was just . Johny outgag himself big time
After Googling what's going on with the SLORE WAR, all I found out from Evan's side was ONE comment from one of the HUNDREDS of interviews that he did recently. I guess I need to update my dictionary about the meaning of "WAR" along with the meaning of "WHINER".
Things I learnt from Weir and his ubers:
- Whoever dare to say anything negative about Johnny is a "SLORE".
- Anything Johnny said, including the "SLORE" and "BITCH", are all so creative, lovely, honest, refreshing and classy.
- When a "slore" makes an apology, he's taking "THE LOW ROAD" and still an dick, A$$hole, jerk.
- When Johnny's "claws are out", makes cute winks, tells it all, keeps stirring the pot and compaining forever about not being invited to some shows he "doesn't care" and "never watch" (which is definitely not called whining!), he's still a fab DIVA.
- Last but not least: Johnny Weir has NEVER WHINED!
Yes, Evan made a stupid mistake, he faced it, corrected it, learnt the lesson and moves on. Good for him, he'll have a bright future.
As for Johnny, hope he'll enjoy his one man's WAR and never feels BLACK again.
Umm .......... How ignorant would I sound if I asked what a "slore" is?
I assume it is a combination of slut and whore...
It was mentioned in this article
Johny was being Johny and gave his honest opinion
OK, here's the more complete quote from Evan, according to his interview with US magazine:
It obviously hurt his feeling. I felt so sorry for him, but I'm very happy that he finally spoke out and I'm very proud of him to handle his mistake with class act.
PML at this thread!
Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
According to Evan's newly updated costume dictionary, gray is the new black.
Oh well, touch of grey kinds suits you anyway
That's all I had to say if it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
Evan is very classy. He knows when he's made a mistake and it's time to move on. Weir, OTOH, oh boy.
Orangina 1 : Tranny 0
I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like it, Smuckers jam....
Evan's always the class act. He's human, so he will have his evil moment now and then, but on the whole he seems like a great guy. He will be in the public eyes for a long time.
It's a free country...free marketplace...each can and should be able to do what they want. Who cares about the sniping?
On second thought, it was a free country...Obama is making me wonder...but that's another board.
"Who's in charge here" is acquiring a broader meaning Please, USFSA, take charge.

Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
There's Something About Apples In The Fall
October has been a big month in the world of Apple. After its initial release on October 14, Apple's new iPhone 4S caused some noise by selling more than four million units over the following three days. That is almost double the amount of Apple's previous model, the iPhone 4, when it was released. These numbers come is a bit of a surprise due to general disappointment over the 4S's announcement back on October 4. Most people were hoping, and expecting, for Apple to release version 5 instead of an upgraded version of 4.
This comes as excellent news to iPhone data plan carriers AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon due to the device's price tag. The base 16GB model is $199 with a qualifying two-year plan, and will be available for a whopping $649 in November for the unlocked and contract-free model ($299 and $749 for the 32GB, and $399 and $849 for the 64GB models, respectively). The difference in price will most certainly drive people to opt for an iPhone with an agreement, as the four million sales have helped to prove.
The differences between the iPhone 4 and 4S aren't huge, but that is obviously not stopping sales. The bigger new features include an 8 megapixel camera (the 4 had 5 megapixels), video recording at 1080p (720p on the 4), and a faster processor in the dual-core Apple A5 (touted as being four times faster than the 4's A4 processor). The iPhone 4S also comes pre-installed with Apple's newest mobile operating system, iOS5, as well as Siri, an advanced voice-recognition software that is generating a ton of buzz. At four million sales in the first weekend, it seems as if most people have forgotten they were expecting the iPhone 5 in the first place.
Let's Be Honest, No One Liked Vista Anyway
After two years, Windows 7 has finally overtaken XP as top dog in the world of operating systems. According to StatCounter, October 2011 has shown that Windows 7 has taken an overall 40 percent share globally compared to XP's 38 percent share. Not too surprisingly, Vista is sitting back in the shadows at a mere 11 percent. Windows 7 actually took over the North American majority share back in April, but this most recent news has shown that the rest of the world is finally starting to let go of the much-loved (or hated, depending on your point of view) XP operating system. OS X came in fourth at 7 percent and Linux was fifth at just under 1 percent.
As for web browsers, the gap is finally starting to narrow between the top three. Internet Explorer still has the biggest share at 41.66 percent, however that number has fallen steadily from 58 percent in the past two years. At number two, Mozilla Firefox has also taken a hit, though at a smaller rate. Firefox is at 26.6 percent, compared to 31.8 percent mark two years ago. The big mover in the web browser race is Google Chrome. Since October of 2009, Chrome has gone from a 4.17 percent share to a 24.8 percent share, good for third place. That's nearly a 600 percent increase! Meanwhile, Safari came in fourth at 5.9 percent and Opera was fifth at 1.8 percent. With these big changes in numbers, is Google Chrome the next big thing in the future of web browsing?

Sour Berries
If you are a BlackBerry user you may have noticed a drop in service between Monday and Thursday of last week. This outage was no isolated incident as it spread over the entire globe, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America. RIM (Research In Motion), the company that developed the BlackBerry, says service outages started in Europe and ultimately affected most of the world before being fully restored on Thursday.
So what is RIM's response and compensation for the massive outage? Free apps. Instead of receiving compensation in the form of cash or free service, RIM is offering a dozen or more apps that are worth approximately $100 if purchased through BlackBerry's app store. These apps will then be available for free for the rest of the year. Free apps include popular titles such as SIMS 3, Bubble Bash 2, Bejeweled, Drive Safe.ly Pro, and others.
The compensation that RIM has provided has been received with mixed responses from BlackBerry's 70 million customers. Some have praised the offer of free apps while others, mainly those who do not load up their phones with apps, are disappointed they were not reimbursed for the amount of time their service was out.

The General Accountability Office(GAO) praised efforts by the United States Army over the past year to assist soldiers going through the disability retirement process. However, it noted some treatment facilities lack as much as 40 percent of the staff required to maintain a ratio of one legal counselor per 30 soldiers. According to John Pendleton of the GAO, "The Army has made progress in the five months since our September hearing," he said, referring to a previous GAO report which showed the Army's Transition Units were only half-staffed. But one-third of the units still have staffing shortages. At some bases, 40 percent of wounded or sick soldiers have not been assigned to a Transition Unit.
Daniel Bertoni, GAO's director of education, workforce and income security, said the GAO's new report found that one military evaluation board physician per 200 soldiers is not enoough and the ratio must come down to one per hundred.
The real issue arising from the GAO report is why did the Bush administration enter a war without giving sufficient thought and consideration to the needs of wounded soldiers? Why has it taken six years for changes to be made in regard to treatment of wounded soldiers who are being discharged into civilian life? The story of the Iraq war is the continual neglect on the part of the Bush administration of the costs of war. That is the national scandal which the American people should never forget.
