So what do y'all think? New Year's Prank or Wishful thinking?
Looks like Robyn has to her say, of course.Tweeted by Mommie Dearest Robyn to a concerned fan:
"...Aspyn was just joking around. She is too smart for that. She wants to got to college. Jenny is her best buddy."For some reason, I don't think MD Robyn was amused by Aspyn's prank.
Hold the phone !...Mama Christine just tweeted the following terse response regarding the twitter incident I prefer to call 'Aspyngate':
"@Aspyn and @Jenny are just joking about becoming Sisterwives. They are best friends. Our children will marry as adults, period. To be honest, I think it is awesome that they joke about becoming sisterwives. What a great way to express a close friendship."So what do you think? Can Aspyngate finally be laid to rest as the last prank of 2011? What are your thoughts?

Union also agrees to personnel cost reductions
Mayor Don Wesely today signed a new three-year contract with the National Association of Government Employees (NAGE), Local R9-38, which represents 475 full-time employees. The contract includes the separate agreement with the City to reduce personnel costs by nearly $818,000 in the City's fiscal year 2002-2003 budget, which begins September 1.
"NAGE has worked with us very cooperatively, both on the three-year contract and on the agreement to help us control personnel costs as we worked on the tight City budget," said Mayor Wesely. "With NAGE's help, I was able to propose a balanced City budget for the next fiscal year that includes no lay-offs of NAGE employees."
NAGE members voted in June to delay a four-percent negotiated raise for 13 pay periods, saving about $447,300. In addition, the union voted to give up the city contributions to its Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) for the coming fiscal year, a savings estimated at $370,500, bringing the total savings to $817,800.
The negotiated pay increase for NAGE employees is 2 percent in the second year of the contract and 2.5 percent in the third year. NAGE employees who are not at the top of their pay ranges are also eligible for merit increases each year of 3.5 percent under the terms of the new contract..
The Mayor presented a balanced budget for 2002-2003 to the City Council on June 24. The projected budget shortfall of $5.5 million was eliminated through a series of program changes and personnel savings.
The Mayor began talking with the five City unions in December 2001 about the impact the budget gap could have on personnel and services. Personnel costs account for about 71 percent of the city's tax-supported budget. The five city unions represent about 93 percent of all city employees.

JohnnyMiller needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 251 designs submitted by 51 freelance designers.
powered by manumatix
We provide members of online communities the ability to make money by displaying and ranking their favorite advertisements. We are a hip fast growing company with a team devoted to helping people.
All of the money our members make helps others- they donate or pledge their money to their favorite charities. We are helping money go from the advertiser to our members to the charities. We are looking for some type of movement in the logo or feeling of exchanging. Please don't use a dollar or euro symbol.
We are aiming at 18-35 year old men and women who spend an hour every day checking their profile page on Facebook and MySpace, Twitter and the iPhone. They may live in any country and be any nationality. They are primarily in the USA to start with. They tend to be educated, fun, light hearted, and interested in donating their time to help others. They are passionate and opinionated. These people speak up and tell others how they feel. They exchange their ideas with others. They are not shy.
The logo would look
• Innovative like Apple
• Professional yet hip
• Action/ Movement
• Trust/Respect but not old
• Sharing and giving but not a charity
Review this link: http://img.skitch.com/20091029-tym6…acje2f.jpg
the logo needs to fit in the space where the thumbs up icon and the word "like" and "become a fan" are located. please make sure the logo fits here and is completely legible
We need the logo to say just three words-
powered by manumatix
an actual icon can be added to create movement or a feeling of exchanging
The complete logo with icon must look amazing even though it is only 16 pixels in height. This is the most important part- it must hold up small- the only time it will be larger is on our website- every other time it appears on the internet it will be TINY!
We are the fine print basically and we want to stand out but not clash.
When you post your design please make sure you show at least one example at 16 pixels in height.
Please keep the color palette to 2-3 colors
the colors need to be neutral enough to be placed below hundreds of different colored advertisements and look complementary as opposed to clashing.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Been away from confession? Think about this story. Archbishop, later Cardinal, Adam Sapieha of Krakow, Poland, is in the history books because, in 1946, he ordained to the priesthood Blessed John Paul II. It was a great distinction, but the archbishop has to be remembered for his heroic, bold confrontations with the German invaders who occupied Poland beginning in 1939.
The occupation was hell on earth. Directing it was the German governor, Hans Frank. His rule was unspeakably cruel.
At the height of the occupation, the archbishop invited Frank and his wife to dinner in the archbishop's residence. Assuming that the invitation meant that Archbishop Sapieha's determined condemnation of German atrocities was relenting, Frank and his wife immediately accepted.
The archbishop met them cordially and escorted them into his residence's grand dining room. The table was set with sparkling crystal and fine china. The Franks were seated, and waiters appeared with plates beneath silver domes. Everything suggested that an elegant meal was to be served.
The plates were set before the Franks, and the domes were lifted. On each porcelain plate rested a small piece of stale barley bread. Stunned, the German governor and his wife looked at the archbishop, who said, "Your occupation has so impoverished my people that this is all many of them have to eat. I eat what my people eat — and so do my guests." Furious, the Franks left.
Starving the Polish people by diverting everything edible to Germany was just one of Frank's outrages. His rule resulted, historians say, in the murder of millions of Poles.
When the war ended, the allies captured Frank and charged him with crimes against humanity. He was one of Hitler's subordinates tried at Nuremberg in the war crimes trials.
As the trial was being organized, the allied officer in command appointed two German-speaking American Army chaplains to the contingent overseeing the prisoners. One was Franciscan Father Sixtus O'Connor from New York.
Many of the prisoners refused to see the chaplains. Frank, however, did meet with Father O'Connor. In time, the priest had an effect on Frank. Frank began to pray. Then he began attending Father O'Connor's Mass. Eventually, he admitted his terrifying deeds in Poland, and he repented.
The trial ended with death sentences being delivered for most of the prisoners, including Frank. They were to be hanged. When Frank went to the scaffold, Father O'Connor walked beside him. Of all the condemned men, only Frank asked God's forgiveness. He died praying, "My Jesus, mercy!" and with Father O'Connor's blessing.
Not long ago, a TV documentary featured the trials, and it included scenes from that period. It covered the executions. Someone I know saw the production and noticed that a priest stood on the scaffold beside a prisoner who made the sign of the cross as the priest blessed him. The prisoner was Frank. The priest was Father O'Connor.
I was asked, how could a priest associate himself with such a despicable criminal?
This is what priests do. Their job is to be with the sinner and bring the sinner back to God.
One of the most beautiful interruptions in the otherwise frightful story of the Lord's crucifixion is the all-forgiving word of Jesus to the thief dying beside Christ. "Today you will be with me in paradise" (Lk 23:43). In the language of today's Church, the Lord canonized the thief.
The Church never gives up on anyone. When my time comes, I devoutly pray that a Father O'Connor will be standing at my side.

Adding Tagging Content
On libcontent.lib.ua.edu, in /srv/scripts/tagging/:
1) Identify collection to process. Each collection must be processed separately so it will have a batch id in the software that will identify a file with its mother collection.
2) remove existing MODS from the local MODS directory (./MODS/)
Example: `rm ./MODS/*`
3) copy over item level MODS from the desired collection
Example (for collection u0001_2009002): `cp /srv/www/htdocs/content/u0001/2009002/*/Metadata/*mods.xml ./MODS/.`
4) run: `createSpreadsheet` (then check results). This will pull information from all the MODS in the local MODS directory and create a combined (tab-delimited text) spreadsheet meeting the requirements of the data needed for upload into the tagging software, which uses Dublin Core. Results will be in "upload.txt" in the same directory as the script.
5) copy upload.txt to uploaded/collid.txt where collid is the collection number for this collection. This step will in the future be automated into createSpreadsheet (but is not yet). This is to keep a copy of what we've uploaded thus far, in case we need it for some reason.
6) copy the item level images to /srv/www/tagit/images/institution_1/images_zoom/
Example (for collection u0001_2009002): `cp /srv/www/htdocs/content/u0001/2009002/*/*_2048.jpg /srv/www/tagit/images/institution_1/images_zoom/.`
7) run: `makeTaggingJpegs` to create other derivatives
8) run: `remove2048` to take the "_2048" out of the filenames in the original deposits (this could be combined in the previous step)
9) run: `collToDbase` to add the collection to the steve_museum database and log these entries into the InfoTrack database.
10) check the results online

About Hansjörg Schneider
Hansjörg is the paper perfectionist
"My series of paper cut-outs can be seen as an attempt to build bridges between art and architecture."
Originally trained in drawing and printmaking at Germany's Muthesius University and at London's Central School of Art and Design, Hansjörg Schneider creates large-scale architectural paper cut-outs. Schneifer's first foray into this practise began with a series of famous modernist buildings that he would replicate in paper form. Since then, he has developed the endeavour into a long-term passion, combining the experience of architecture, town planning and cartography with the paper form. A series of three prints entitled "Minor Roads" were created for Absolut Art. Schneider produced them by cutting and tearing paper in a sketchbook, resulting in images that could be identified as abstract topography diagrams and landscapes.

USCIRF denounces the Russian Supreme Court ruling on Monday rejecting an appeal by the Jehovah's Witnesses against an April decision declaring them as extremist.
7/13/17: Open Letter from USCIRF Vice Chair Sandra Jolley to Gulmira Imin on the 8th Anniversary of Her Arrest
Dear Gulmira:I write to you as July 14th comes to an end. On that day eight years ago, as you know all too well, Chinese government officials arrested you. While this open letter may never reach you, I want you to know that as a Commissioner on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, I am ardently advocating on your behalf.
Muslims around the world recently marked the end of the holy month of Ramadan. "The Chinese government has taken unprecedented steps to trample on the religious freedom of Uighur Muslims particularly during Ramadan," said USCIRF Chairman Daniel Mark.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released a May 30 letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson calling on him to "take steps to address severe violations of religious freedom and other human rights" in Sudan. In the letter, USCIRF called on Secretary Tillerson to maintain existing sanctions on the Sudanese government due to deteriorating religious freedom conditions.
6/13/17: USCIRF Elects Daniel Mark as Commission Chairman; Sandra Jolley and Kristina Arriaga as Vice Chairs
At its June 13 meeting, USCIRF commissioners elected Daniel Mark as the Commission's new chairman. Dr. Mark is an assistant professor of political science at Villanova University and battalion professor for Villanova's Navy ROTC unit. In response to his election, Chairman Mark said, "I am greatly honored by the confidence shown in me by my fellow commissioners. I look forward to enhancing USCIRF's role and voice in monitoring violations and recommending ways U.S. policy can play an even stronger role."
H.R. 390 would promote accountability for atrocities committed by ISIS and address the urgent humanitarian needs of persecuted religious and/or ethnic minorities targeted for genocide.
USCIRF was saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Firuz Kazemzadeh, one of the first Commissioners appointed to USCIRF Dr. Kazemzadeh was also a professor emeritus of history at Yale, a distinguished member of the American Baha'i community, and a tireless champion of international religious freedom.
USCIRF's new groundbreaking report, the first of its kind to involve in-person interviews with representatives of almost all religious minority groups in the KRI, notes that "the KRI remains far more welcoming and tolerant to minorities than its regional neighbors" and expresses hope that special effort will be taken to "preserve [the] freedoms and rights" of minorities.
"For more than four years, Maryam Naghash Zargaran has suffered in an Iranian prison, falsely charged with 'propagating against the Islamic regime and collusion intended to harm national security'," - Commissioner Clifford D. May.
USCIRF Vice Chairman Daniel Mark stated that he "welcomed this long-overdue step by Burma's government. Pwint Phyu Latt and Zaw Zaw Latt, both Muslim, were wrongfully imprisoned for their interfaith activities."

This is an interesting point.Malcolm wrote: We have a very skewed view of Buddhism on the ground in ancient and how it was actually practiced -- we derive our view of Buddhism in India through the lense of a few polemical scholars, ignoring many inconvienient facts. For example, that fact that the Thai court still maintains brahmin priests, and has done so for hundreds of years, etc.
We know that in at least some ancient Indian monasteries there were Devadatta devotees with their gourd "begging bowls" practising alongside Buddhists. Some of the Chinese travellers to ancient India recorded this.
As I understand, Nalanda University, while predominately Buddhist, still housed colleges of various philosophical schools and sciences.

The townspeople decided to tell Miss Tabitha she could only have three cats. The townspeople sent Colonel Mace to Miss Tabitha's house.
Miss Tabitha doesn't worry about giving the cats away. Sarah has the responsibility from then on. Sarah has to make a deal with the townspeople to solve the cat problem.
The book really gives off a lot of feelings. Some of them were feeling like crying, or being curious, like wondering what Miss Tabitha's house looks like.
This book reminds me of me. I want a lot of not only cats, but all animals. I would especially like a horse.
The House of Thirty Cats is my favorite book, probably because the characters in this book, and the mystery. The mystery in this book is how to give all the cats away by a certain time.
I highly recommend this book to people who don't like to be responsible, they'll learn something from it! I think kids in grades 3-6 will enjoy this book.

text: Florida product Ernest Suttles is one of six players in Nebraska's 2013 signing class who are expected to start their careers on the defensive line. Suttles is also one of three signees from the Florida prep ranks, matching the largest group of scholarship signees Nebraska has ever had from the Sunshine State. The 6-5, 240-pound Suttles was a dominant defensive force for Gaither High School in Tampa over the past two seasons. As a senior for Coach Jason Stokes' team, Suttles recorded 88 total tackles, including 55 solo stops. He made an impressive 31 tackles for loss, including 12 sacks and added four fumbles caused, a fumble recovery and two blocked field goals. His play helped Gaither High to the Class 7A district 7 title and an 8-3 record, before losing in the first round of the playoffs. Suttles earned third-team Class 7A all-state honors for his efforts in 2012. Suttles was also a dominant force on the defensive front during his junior year in helping Gaither to a 9-4 record and a trip to the regional final round of the 7A state playoffs. Suttles had 80 total tackles, including 37 solo stops, with five sacks, 12 tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. Suttles is regarded among the top 25 weakside defensive ends in the nation by 247 Sports, which also ranks him among the top 80 overall prospects in the state of Florida. Suttles chose Nebraska after also visiting Iowa State. He also had scholarship offers from Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, South Florida and West Virginia among others. Suttles was born on Feb. 14, 1994, and he is the son of Ernestine Brower and the late George Suttles.

McClendon gets another shot in skipper's chair
Lloyd McClendon never lost the desire to manage again.
He just wondered if he would get a second chance.
Lloyd McClendon never lost the desire to manage again.
He just wondered if he would get a second chance.
Wonder no more. The opportunity has come.
Lloyd McClendon is the new manager of the Seattle Mariners.
And it's a nice fit. It's a manager who feels he has learned from his past opportunity, ready to take a step forward, and a franchise very much in need of a strong managerial presence that can shake it out of the doldrums of the last decade.
The I's still have to be dotted and the T's have to be crossed in his contract, but the commitment has been made.
He was the first runner-up in Seattle when Eric Wedge was hired for the 2011 season, and he was a finalist when Don Wakamatsu got the job in 2009. He'd been interviewed this year to replace Jim Leyland in Detroit, where he served as hitting coach since '07, and he was interviewed a year ago by Miami.
Not that McClendon ever complained. He's dealt with what life has dealt him as long as he can remember, and he always has chosen to look at the bright side. Life hasn't been easy for McClendon. He grew up in the steel city of Gary, Ind., one of 13 children and the youngest of 10 boys.
He had his initial 15 minutes of fame as a 12-year-old, the star player on the Anderson Little League team that represented Gary in the Little League World Series. He is known to this day as Legendary Lloyd for his heroics in Williamsport, Pa. He swung at five pitches, and hit a home run each time. He was intentionally walked his five other plate appearances.
And nobody says it will be easy for McClendon in Seattle.
The Mariners have finished in fourth place in the AL West in eight of the last 10 years -- and there were only four teams in the division before the move of Houston from the NL Central for 2013. The Mariners have lost 90 or more games six times since 2004 and had a winning record only twice.
But then that's why the Mariners were looking for a manager, again. Seven managers have filled out the lineup card for Seattle during this decade of disappointment.
Now it is McClendon's chance.
He had one once before, with Pittsburgh. It wasn't, however, really much of a chance for success. McClendon was one of the six full-time managers who played a part in the Pirates' professional-team-sports-record 20 consecutive losing seasons.
His composite record in nearly five seasons in Pittsburgh was 336-446, a .430 winning percentage. But he was stuck in the middle of the decline of the franchise. He came after Leyland suffered four consecutive losing seasons -- a .445 winning percentage -- and left, and then four years in which Gene Lamont failed to have a winning season.
And it only got worse after McClendon was dismissed. Jim Tracy was there for two years, 135 wins in 320 games and a .417 winning percentage. John Russell went 186-299, a .384 winning percentage, in three seasons.
Even Clint Hurdle, who finally took the Pirates to the postseason this season and snapped the 20-year drought, saw the Pirates suffer second-half fades and compiled a 151-173 record his first two years in the Steel City.
It is reasonable to feel that McClendon will learn from his past experiences, including being reunited with Leyland in Detroit, working with an explosive lineup and playing a key part in the emergence of young bats to add depth behind veterans Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder.
The offensive aspect of the game is something the Mariners know has to be addressed, and having a manager with a hitting resume is a plus. The Mariners have had the lowest batting average in the AL each of the last five years, hitting .237 or lower in each of the last four.
The Mariners have a youthful base. By the second half of last season, seven of their nine regulars in the lineup were 26 or younger, including rookies at catcher (Mike Zunino ), second base (Nick Franklin ) and shortstop (Brad Miller ).
And he has a relationship with general manager Jack Zduriencik, who was the scouting director of the Pirates (1991-93), when McClendon was playing on a team that won three consecutive NL East titles. That was an edge he had over the four other finalists for the job -- Joey Cora, Rick Renteria, Tim Wallach and Chip Hale.
It's also something that Zduriencik didn't have with the two previous Mariners managers, Wakamatsu and Eric Wedge.
Having been on the job in Seattle for five years, and having seen the team suffer through losing seasons the last four years, Zduriencik knows his own job is being evaluated on a short-term basis now. It helps to have someone who will be on the same page in the dugout.

College kids may find themselves stuck with a dead battery. Chances are they will be far from home, so they won't be able to call Dad (or Mom) for quick help.
The best option is to call AAA or similar service. However, if those options are not available, everyone should know how to correctly (and safely) jump start their car. Tom and Ray from CarTalk have a great step by step guide on how to jump start your car which can be printed out and kept in the car for future reference.

Several Facebook pages that were dedicated to the abuse of Jill Meagher's accused murderer, Adrian Ernest Bayley, have been shut down at the request of Victorian police authorities.
World News Australia reports on Facebook's potential role in the Jill Meagher murder case. Six pages have been shut down after "days" of "repeated" requests from Victorian authorities.
"A number of sites have been taken down on our request, and we thank Facebook for that," a police spokeswoman told AAP on Wednesday.
The six Facebook pages, one which had more than 44,000 'likes,' that have since been shut down, reportedly promoted hatred towards the accused Bayley. The pages ultimately incited violence and shared details about Bayley's background, potentially threatening the man's right to a fair trial.
"We've all got a social responsibility and Facebook is part of our community, and I would've thought it would only have been reasonable," Chief Commissioner Ken Lay had said earlier this week.
Facebook did not offer any comment in regards to the situation, though has in the past said that it is committed to monitoring its content in accordance with the law.
The news of the Facebook pages comes as Jill Meagher's grieving family prepares for a private funeral in Melbourne. In a joint statement, Jill's family said, "Each night when the world is quiet and still, your smile and the wonderful moments we have shared will crowd our minds and we will find missing you even harder."
"Though we can't be together for now, in our thoughts and memories you will be here with us.
"Looking ahead to that time when we can be with you again and play frisbee."
Jill Meagher, 29, was raped and murdered while she was walking home from a nearby inner-city Brunswick bar in the early hours of Saturday, September 22. Her body was later found in a shallow grave not far from the bar. A mass dedicated to Meagher will be offered in her hometown of Drogheda on Friday.

CHINO HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Red Bucket Rescue needs money. So they are holding a fundraiser in Chino Hills Wednesday featuring kisses from Joey, a 5-month-old donkey that is going to need a lot of money for medical bills.
Rescue founder Susan Peirce says Joey and his mother Lizzie were among five donkeys rescued from the Bureau of Land Management.
Trampled by his herd at 2-days-old, Joey suffered traumatic injury to his eye and it might have to be removed. He is also the 150th horse or donkey rescued by the group.
Peirce says Valentine's Day is Thursday, so a kissing booth made good sense.
The kisses are free but donations are welcome.

The White House was shocked to hear and see that President Morsi in the past may consider the Jews as the grandchildren of pigs and Monkeys. Senator John McCain raised the topic too thanks to the New York Times' report about the videos of Morsi in the past.
For the record the video people are sharing about the grandchildren of pigs and blood suckers, Morsi did not say specifically he meant the Jews. The video is edited and he was speaking mostly about Zionists but what said commonly mentioned to insult the Jews.
Mohamed Morsi and his administration think that the American and the Western media are fool enough to believe that Morsi's statements were tempered and edited to appear like that as well taken out of context.
But the Western media is not fool because attacking Jews and not Zionism only is part of the Muslim brotherhood's literature and it is enough to hear the chants and the slogans of the MB rallies in solidarity with Palestine especially the Past. I think MEMRI
got huge archive for the Muslim brotherhood. It is not a new thing. What is new that superficial shock, yes superficial shock of American administration.
The American administration knows very well about how the Muslim brotherhood looks to the Jews and Zionists but it had to act like this after the New York Times' report in order to keep its image as a fighter of anti-Semitism in the so-called free world.
What was shocking and surprising for Egyptians for real is how Mohamed Morsi and the official MB's talk changed after the elections when it comes to Israel , Jews and Zionists after years of seeing the MB attacking Mubarak for using the similar talk with Israel and Zionists. I do not understand how after years of attacking Mubarak because of the Qiz agreement , the MB does not only ignore its cancellation completely as they demanded the ousted president but rather extended it in Egypt !!
Of course the hateful talk needs a long post. It is enough to see what the MB members write about Christians and even other Egyptian Muslims who oppose ideologically and politically to know there is something wrong , something hidden has appeared on the surface.
I know very well how positions change people and what is in the heart is in the heart but .. these double standards make many people angry. This is what Bassem Youssef was trying to say in his show last week.
I am not that shocked that the Muslim brotherhood in the leadership changed its talk as politics is truly dirty but I am truly shocked that the MB leaderships are deceiving its young members claiming that the opposition icons and groups like ElBaradei and April 6 Youth are working with the Americans, Jews and Zionists to bring down Egypt.
I ca not take it anymore from the MB double standards honestly.

Mercedes-Benz may have never heard of the phrase, ""Leave well enough alone,"" because the automaker has never rested on its laurels. The 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class model provides evidence of this. The luxury full-size sedan carries up to five passengers and flaunts exterior styling reminiscent of a coupe.
The CLS-Class signals the return of Mercedes-Benz to the executive coupe market, since the two-door sedan E-Class Coupe went out of production in 1995. The CLS-Class design comes from the American automotive designer Michael Fink and markets as a four-door coupe.
The CLS-Class shows off a brilliant exterior design. Although some luxury vehicles can be bland, the staggering line and aerodynamic features of this vehicle's body take people's breath away.
The CLS-Class also earns recognition for its underlying hardware, which closely matches the mechanics of the Mercedes E-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the replacement for the original CLS-Class. At first you might notice a similar silhouette to the outgoing model, but a number of highly accentuated lines give this CLS-Class model a very bold new look.
Inside the new CLS-Class, the changes include an updated dashboard with more innovative and upscale materials. Matte galvanized trim surrounds the air vents, while hand-sewn leather covers the dashboard.
The substance of the CLS-Class also comes in the form of a standard features list featuring COMAND with 40GB hard-drive GPS navigation, voice control, a 14-Speaker LOGIC7 Dolby Digital surround sound system, an in-dash DVD/CD changer, and an in-dash SD card reader.
The power factor for this new CLS-Class comes from the new twin-turbocharged, 4.7-liter V-8 engine, good for 402 horsepower. This system couples with a seven-speed automatic transmission, like the AMG CLS-Class63, which swaps the automatic for an AMG Speedshift transmission with paddle shifters.
Mercedes-Benz continues to manufacture one of the top vehicle models in the world.
The 2006 CLS-Class550 contains a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 382 horsepower, and the 6.3-liter V-8, generating 507 horsepower, powers the CLS-Class63 AMG. Both of these monster engines connect to Mercedes' seven-speed automatic transmission with Sportronic manual-shift.
Mercedes-Benz kept the focus on power for 2007, the sophomore year of the CLS-Class. The CLS-Class550 becomes the standard model for this year. The number change represents the V-8 engine's upgrade to a 5.5-liter unit. It generates up to 382 horsepower, 80 more than the previous engine. Formerly optional pieces, such as the Harman Kardon premium audio system with a six-disc CD changer and Mercedes' ""PreSafe"" collision-mitigation system, come standard on 2007 models.
The 2009 model year saw the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class receive a mild exterior styling refresh, including a redesigned grille, restyled wheels, trapezoidal exhaust tips, and reshaped LED taillights. Mercedes also adds heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, a revamped steering wheel, and a revised COMAND interface.
Mercedes released the 2010 CLS-Class with two models. The standard CLS-Class550 packs a 382-horsepower, 5.5-liter V-8 engine, and the CLS-Class63 AMG version ramps up the numbers with a 6.2 liter V-8, a whopping 507 horsepower, and 465 lb-ft of torque.
For a car of this nature, a 14/21 mpg city/highway rating is almost generous. The five-speed automatic AMG edition is even less gracious at 14/19 mpg city/highway. A long list of standard features defines the luxury of the 2010 CLS-Class. Satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, a Harman Kardon audio system, and an iPod interface come on each CLS-Class, along with such options as adaptive cruise control and a set of sensors to assist with parking.
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class shows another update of the two stalwarts, the CLS-Class550 and CLS-Class63 AMG. Standard equipment upgrades on the base CLS-Class550 include 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels with high-performance tires, a sunroof, an adaptive air suspension, four-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with shift paddles, 10-way power front seats with driver memory functions, Bluetooth, a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic, and a satellite HD radio.
The CLS-Class63 AMG adds an upgraded V-8 engine, 19-inch wheels, more aggressive exterior styling, sport front seats, and an iPod interface.
Options exclusive to the CLS-Class63 AMG include the AMG Performance package, which adds lightweight 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels, a limited-slip differential, a track-calibrated suspension, a higher top-speed of 186 mph, and a sport steering wheel.
The AMG Wheel and Sound package includes: 19-inch forged light-alloy wheels and a 12-speaker, 705-watt Bang & Olufsen surround sound audio system.
The Premium 1 package remains available for both models and includes adaptive bi-xenon headlamps with washers, a power trunk lid, keyless ignition/entry, a power rear sunshade, heated and ventilated front seats, and an iPod interface. Stand-alone options include 19-inch wheels, illuminated door sills, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors.
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class comes with high-performance anti-lock brakes, and stability control. In brake testing, the CLS-Class63 stops from 60 mph in 114 feet.

Mercedes-Benz revamped the CLS-Class for the new model year. The exterior gets a new grille, head and fog, and side lights. Inside, Mercedes refreshed everything with more upscale materials while continuing to maintain the brand's famed fit and finish.
2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
For 2011 the CLS-Class stays essentially the same as it was in 2010. It had received new engines in 2007 and then got a mild interior and exterior refresh in 2009. The only major change for 2011 -- the CLS550 now comes standard with features that were once optional: sport styling, 18-inch AMG wheels, performance summer tires, and paddle shifters.
2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS class cars are designed to have the sporty styling of a two-door luxury car with the practicality of a sedan all rolled into a four-door coupe.

The latest artwork to join the permanent Phillips Collection in Washington isn't an oil painting, a sketch or even a sculpture. It's a small room that will be coated with more than 800 pounds of beeswax and where one to two people at a time can squeeze in and behold its golden-tinged walls.
The idea is to create "a meditative encounter that is expected to be immediate and intense," according to a museum statement.
The installation is the brainchild of German artist Wolfgang Laib, who in the past has created temporary wax rooms at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at several European museums. You might remember him from an artwork that began in 1975, called Milkstone, in which a marble slab was filled with fresh milk every day. The Phillips would not divulge the cost of the wax room.
The wax room is the first created for a specific museum site. It will be in the part of the original museum that was founder Duncan Phillips' home and marks the first permanent installation at the museum since a room of paintings by Mark Rothko opened in 1960. The Phillips is best known for the Renoir painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party."

Candy Corn Kisses
I browse eBay a lot, just to see what sort of candy is being sold. It's a good place to "make a friend" in a particular area who can send you a special candy on a regular basis. Of course a good deal of the candy on eBay is also Limited Edition items, which can be devilish to find as inventories wear thin in parts of the country.
It's also a great way for me to find out about newer Limited Editions. Like the Candy Corn Kisses that showed up there last week. I immediately searched all my best spots (RiteAid, WalMart, Target & CVS) with no results. So I emailed Hershey's ... they confirmed that they exist at least.
Then yesterday I gave Target another try and there they were!
I must admit, they're lovely. The wrappers are silver, yellow and orange with little flags that say Candy Corn.
Upon opening the bag I can only say that they stink to high heaven, like fake butter flavor (perhaps I should be concerned that there's diacetyl in there and I'm going to get Pop Corn Workers Lung?).
Unwrapping the foil, they are super-cute layers just like candy corn. Wider on the bottom than normal candy corn, the proportions may be a little squat, the colors are also rearranged, with yellow on the bottom and orange in the middle, instead of the reverse. I can see why they did it though, it is a pleasant combo.
While I enjoy candy corn that has a slight honey or caramelized sugar taste to it, these go for the buttered corn flavor. I know that the Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly is one of the most popular, but it's never floated by boat. Same with this one ... a little caramely white chocolate would have made me very happy. This doesn't. The fake butter just turns my stomach when I smell it. If I don't smell it, then they're not bad, not too sweet with a light little hit of salt.
Unlike many of the other white confection offerings from Hershey's, these are not white chocolate (which has a cocoa butter base). The ingredients go like this:
I think the idea is cute and I could actually see these being a great cookie decoration (as suggested on the package with a peanut butter cookie recipe). Other than that, I'm going to just admire the photos and the idea and keep the package way from me. I couldn't decide what rating to give this, mostly because my personal revulsion to fake butter flavor (it actually gives me a headache when someone makes microwave popcorn) is, well, a personal thing. The product is well executed ... I just wish they called them Butter Kisses and made them like real candy corn, not that Milk Maid Caramel Candy Corn. My nose said give them a two out of ten. But looking at the photos, I can't help but bump it up to a four out of ten ... what can I say, I'm a sucker for design!
UPDATE 9/25/2007: I found out from Hershey's that this is an item that they created exclusively for Target. So don't bother looking anywhere else but Target & eBay for these.
UPDATE 9/5/2008: The Candy Corn Kisses have returned for 2008. I found them both at Target and Rite Aid, so they are enjoying a wider release this year.

verb (tr)
Word Origin for cull
"dupe, saphead," rogues' slang from late 16c., perhaps a shortening of cullion "base fellow," originally "testicle" (from French couillon, from Old French coillon "testicle; worthless fellow, dolt," from Latin coleus, literally "strainer bag;" see cojones), though another theory traces it to Romany (Gypsy) chulai "man." Also sometimes cully, though some authorities assert cully was the canting term for "dupe" and cull was generic "man, fellow," without implication of gullibility. Cf. also gullible.
c.1200, originally "put through a strainer," from Old French coillir (12c., Modern French cueillir) "collect, gather, pluck, select," from Latin colligere "gather together, collect," originally "choose, select" (see collect). Related: Culled; culling. As a noun, from 1610s.

August 2013
A new edition of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) application (Form I-821D) and instructions, dated June 25, 2013, is now available on the USCIS website. After September 9, 2013, USCIS will only accept this version of the DACA application form.
The new Form I-821D and instructions include the following major changes:
Removal Proceedings Information (Form I-821D Part 1, Question 3)
- In the revised application form, USCIS provides greater clarification about how to answer the question regarding whether the applicant is or has ever been in removal proceedings. The form now includes a list of types of removal proceedings (e.g. exclusion or deportation, INA Section 240 removal proceedings, expedited removal proceedings), which should help an applicant identify whether he or she has been in or is currently subject to removal proceedings. The revised form also allows the applicant to indicate whether pending proceedings are active or administratively closed.
- The new form also directs the applicant to include the "most recent" date of proceedings. The prior version of the form simply asked for "date and location of proceedings," which made it difficult for applicants to answer properly. It was unclear whether the applicant should include, for example, the most recent hearing date, an upcoming hearing date, the date the administrative closure or termination of proceedings occurred, or the date of the issuance of the final removal order. Presumably, applicants should now indicate the most recent date of any court hearing.
Status on June 15, 2012 (Form I-821D Part 1, Question 15)
- The new 821D now asks about the applicant's immigration status on June 15, 2012, rather than at the time of entry. The form lists three potential responses: no lawful status; status expired; and parole expired prior 821D. This change is consistent with the DACA eligibility guideline providing that applicants must have entered without inspection before June 15, 2012 or their lawful immigration status must have expired as of June 15, 2012. Individuals who entered the U.S. with a visa or parole that expired as of June 15, 2012 should indicate that their status or parole expired. Individuals who entered the U.S. without inspection should indicate that they had no lawful status on June 15, 2012.
Educational Information (Form I-821D, Part 1, Questions 18-20; Form Instructions at pp 6-7)
- The new form makes slight modifications to the three questions addressing the applicant's educational background. Question 18 on current education status now references that this pertains to being in school, having a GED, or having a high school diploma. Question 20 has been slightly revised to ask for the applicant's date of graduation, indicating that this also may include the date of receipt of a certificate of completion or GED certificate or, if currently in school, date of last attendance.
- Revised application instructions now include a more detailed description of the types of acceptable programs and evidence needed to show that applicants meet the DACA education requirement. For example, the instructions provide that an applicant may be considered "enrolled in school" if enrolled in an education, literacy, or career training program aimed at placing the individual in post-secondary education, job training, or employment. The instructions also provide that applicants may meet the "enrolled in school" guideline by enrolling in an education program that helps them obtain a high school diploma or pass a GED exam or other state-authorized equivalent exam. The applicant must provide evidence regarding whether the program is funded in whole or in part by federal, state, local, or municipal funds. If the program is not publicly funded, then applicants have to show that the program has "demonstrated effectiveness." Evidence of demonstrated effectiveness includes a letter from a program representative regarding how long the program has existed, the program's track record, awards/special achievements, and any other explanation of the program's overall quality.
Arrival/Residence Information (Form I-821D Part 2, Question 1)
- A new question and accompanying text in this section should help an applicant indicate his or her eligibility for DACA based on an initial arrival in the U.S. before age 16. As noted in the form, applicants who first entered the U.S. before age 16 and established residence at that time qualify for DACA, even if they departed the U.S. for some period of time and returned after age 16. The prior version of the form asked only whether the applicant had arrived in the U.S. on or before June 15, 2007.
- Accompanying instructions to the new form list potential documents that may serve as evidence of residence in the U.S. prior to turning 16, including records showing school attendance, employment in the U.S., or residence in the U.S. for multiple years.
Juvenile Delinquency Dispositions (Form I-821D, Part 3, Question 1)
- Question 1 in this section of the form asks whether the applicant has ever been arrested, charged with, or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor in the United States. The old form was silent as to whether this question required the disclosure of juvenile offenses, which are not considered to be convictions under immigration law. The new form, however, specifically states that juvenile offenses should be disclosed. However, the form does note that applicants do not need to submit accompanying court records where such disclosure is prohibited under state law.
- CLINIC has joined with other several other organizations in advocating that USCIS not consider juvenile offenses in determining DACA eligibility. In particular, CLINIC has raised the concern that differences in state laws regarding access to juvenile records makes it difficult for USCIS to treat applicants uniformly. Under current policy, certain applicants have to divulge juvenile records that may negatively impact their cases while others are exempt from this requirement. For this reason, CLINIC will continue to advocate with USCIS to reconsider this policy regarding disclosure of juvenile delinquency offenses and records.
Form Preparer (Form I-821D part 4 )
- Form I-821D now asks the applicant to indicate whether anyone helped prepare the application or any portion of it. If the applicant answers "yes" to this question, USCIS will expect that Part 5 of the application form will include a signed declaration by the person or persons who helped prepare the application. As a result of this change, more individuals involved in application assistance may need to identify themselves as form preparers and complete the declaration in Part 5 of the application.

Mayor Don Wesely today issued a proclamation declaring Wednesday, November 15 as America Recycles Day in the city. Lincoln will join recyclers across the country in encouraging citizens to make a pledge to buy products and packaging made of recycled materials.
"Lincoln residents and businesses generate about 290,000 tons of waste each year, which is 6.5 pounds per person per day," Mayor Wesely said. "We can take great pride in the amount we recycle. In the last fiscal year, more than 12.6 million pounds of recyclables were collected through the city's drop-off program, a five percent increase over the previous year and an all-time high for the program."
America Recycles Day was first celebrated in 1997, and last year, 2.9 million Americans participated. The theme for this year is "For Our Children's Future...Buy Recycled Today."
"Most of us are familiar with the recycling symbol with three arrows, but many don't know that each arrow has a meaning," said City Recycling Coordinator Gene Hanlon. "The top arrow represents home and business recycling and the second represents the manufacturer using recyclables to make a new product. The third arrow, the one we are emphasizing with this event, represents consumers completing the loop by buying recycled content products."
Hanlon said the City of Lincoln purchases recycled content products whenever it is economically and technically feasible, and in 1999, the city purchased over $2 million of the products.
"America Recycles Day is a celebration of the many recycled content products now available," Hanlon said. "When consumers choose to buy recycled, not only do they receive quality products, but they also help to preserve resources."
Lincoln residents have several ways to support America Recycles Day:

NOM's Brian Brown Could Be Criminally Charged For Collaborating With Russia On Anti-Gay Adoption Ban
We heart Fred Karger. Ever the sharp thorn in the National Organization for Marriage and its leader Brian Brown's side, the gay activist has taken his government accountability of the hate group to a new level this week. In a petition to Secretary of State John Kerry, Karger asks for an investigation into Brown's recent Russia trip that ended up with Putin passing now infamous anti-gay laws.
Writes Karger in his letter to the Secretary:
Immediately after Mr. Brown's meetings and testimony in the Russian capital, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a severe crackdown on LGBT rights, affecting all LGBT visitors to Russia to include Americans.
If Mr. Brown did travel to Moscow with French religious leaders with the express intention of furthering discrimination against LGBT Russians and all LGBT travelers to Russia, this could be in direct conflict with current United States laws.
It has been widely reported that Mr. Putin's crackdown against LGBT rights in Russia was in part responsible for President Obama's cancelation of his much-anticipated visit to Moscow in August for talks with Russian President Putin.
Do you think Sec. Kerry will move forward with such an investigation?
Oral and dental health is of prime concern for everyone, because most of the diseases start from here. Moreover, when you smile, it is very critical that your teeth should look good, otherwise; your image would be tarnished in eyes of others.

Starting out on a new business venture with others you know and trust is normally about planning all things you will do to make your business a success.

Mascarpone Brulee with Fresh Berries – How did he do that?
Since the weather is warming up, two things come to mind; what am I going to make with all those sweet berries, and how can I avoid turning on my oven. This dessert is so fast and easy, and looks "cooked" since we are going to "Brulee," or caramelize, some sugar on top of the Mascarpone. I'm not a big dessert person, but this is my idea of the perfect finish to that early summer dinner. If you can't find fresh berries, those mixed frozen berries will fill in nicely. Enjoy!
Important Note: one tip I forgot to mention in the clip. It will help if you refrigerate the Mascarpone-topped shortbreads for 15-30 minutes before you burn the sugar on the top. If the cheese is too soft, it may begin to melt as you Brulee the sugar.
1 pint strawberries
1/2 pint blackberry (or any fresh berry)
1/3 cup sugar
juice of half orange
8 oz Mascarpone (Italian cream cheese) or regular cream cheese
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp sugar
few drops of vanilla
2 shortcakes or plain scones, halved
sugar to Brulee top
Need a Creme Brulee touch? Here is a link for you to check out:

Cool.. I love mascarpone! Some mascarpone, some honey and a cracker and I'm happy!! But this is interesting as well, and looks fantastic.. on a side note I picked up a very similar torch at Lowes home improvement for $20, it's a Lenk brand, yellow and black in color, works great for browning and anything else you might need a mini-torch for!

That is a very good-looking mascarpone. Thanks for the great recipe, I will have to try it as soon as I get the mini torch.

That looks so good. btw have you ever tried couer a la creme, if u have please post it on youtube, thx.

thanks, no i havent ;(

Is it possible not to use a torch at all? But perhaps something else? As it's my first time attempting something like this and perhaps will only do it once for someone special so it's abit wasteful to get a torch just for this time. Wish me luck!

Halloween with Houdini -- annual attempt to contact dead escapologist
By Kevin Pilley, for CNN • Published 1st November 2013
View Gallery
8 Pictures
Houdini wouldn't speak to me. He refused to say one word. He hasn't spoken to anyone for 87 years -- since he died.
Every Halloween, Harry Houdini fans try to prize a few words out of the world's greatest escapologist.
Before he died, Houdini promised to send a message back from the Other Side.
After his death in Detroit on October 31, 1926, his wife, Bess, inaugurated the official Houdini séance.
He hasn't been heard from.
This year's séance will be held at the
Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
The citadel is a 19th-century fort. The catacombs are supposedly haunted.
Houdini played Nova Scotia and toured the Canadian Maritimes in 1896.
The séance will feature performances by local magicians.
Some proceeds will go to the "Feed Nova Scotia" initiative, a province-wide food bank. Seating is limited. Admission is $45.
Guests this year include escape artist Lucas Wilson, holder of three Guinness World Records, and the daughter of Jacques Price, one of the three men in the dressing room when Houdini received the
fateful punches to his stomach
The medium charged with getting through to Houdini is Alan Hatfield of Pictou Landing First Nation.
A former truck driver, Hatfield has been a professional psychic since 1988 and has helped on several missing persons inquiries.
He claims to have spoken with victims of the
disaster buried in Halifax's Fairview Cemetery.
"I don't know much about Houdini any more than the casual observer interested in magicians," he says. "I like to have no preconceived information but to begin all endeavors with spirit dialogs from Ground Zero status. It's a privilege to be asked to be part of the séance."
Spirit hotline remains dead
In 2001, I had the honor of sitting at the séance table in Milwaukee, the first journalist to do so.
The handcuffs Houdini said he would open from the afterlife. He had them modified so only he would know how to unlock them. So far, they remain closed.
william radner
Sadly, Houdini didn't show up. Or pick up. The line to the Other Side remained dead.
Hatfield is more confident of success.
"I'm not a traditional trance medium, but have had great results, using sweet grass and prayer to open doorways," he says. "And employing EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings in communion with disembodied souls."
Among those joining hands around the table will be historians, collectors and experts such as Bill Radner, whose late father Sid owned the world's largest Houdini collection.
This included the only recording of the magician's voice.
The memorabilia was sold at auction in 2004.
"We always have the séance handcuffs on the table," says Radner. "Only Houdini knew how to open them. They are similar to those he escaped from in a 1904 challenge in London staged by Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper."
Houdini said he would open the handcuffs from the afterlife, if he could.
"They were very important to my father," says Radner. "He bought them from Harry's brother, Theodore, who performed as Hardeen, and were first used in a séance in 1948."
Until 1995, the official Houdini séance was held at his graveside in New York's Machpelah cemetery.
It has since taken place around the United States as well as in London and Montreal.
Great escapologist, but he couldn't drive
"Harry was an amazing guy," says fan and "Inner Circle" member Tom Boldt, a construction executive from Wisconsin.
"There wasn't much he couldn't do. Except perhaps drive. He was the first man to fly a plane in Australia. In 1910. He even toured in Russia.
"The séance has become part of Americana. It's an opportunity to retell Houdini's incredible rags to riches story. And another serious attempt to honor Houdini's claim that if anyone could return from the hereafter, it would be him."
Fellow table member and séance host Bruce MacNab from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, wrote an award winning book, "
The Apprenticeship of Harry Houdini
," about
The Metamorphosis
, Houdini's tour of eastern Canada.
He spent five years researching it.
"Houdini spent a month in the area and stayed in the Carleton House in Halifax," says McNab. "He discovered the straitjacket on the tour.
"His show at Yarmouth was his first one outside of the U.S. And the one in Dartmouth his first international one as a headliner."
Along with Frank Lloyd Wright, Senator Eugene Macarthy and Liberace, Houdini is one of Wisconsin's favorite sons.
His hometown of Appleton, two hours north of Milwaukee and one hour south of Green Bay, offers self-guided walking tours around Houdini-related sites, like the Houdini Elementary School.
The school motto is "The Magic of Learning. The Magic begins here."
There are the Houdini Escape Gastropub and the Stone Cellar Brewpub, which serves "Houdini Honeywheat" or "Weiss" beer.
From shoe shiner to crowd
Born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest in 1874, Houdini spent the first nine years of his life in the Wisconsin town now famous for dairy farming and a fire engine factory.

Appleton boasted the United States' first enclosed shopping area and the country's first hotel with electrified lighting. And first hydroelectric plant.
Houdini's father, Samuel, was the town rabbi. He preached above Heckert's Saloon, now a carpet shop and bridal outfitter. The family home is now a shopping plaza.
The only physical landmark left from Houdini's boyhood is the wooden Temple Zion synagogue at 320 North Durkhee Street, which was built around the time Rabbi Weiss was sacked from his $750 a year job for not being able to preach in English.
The family moved to Milwaukee in 1883.
Houdini and his brothers shined shoes and worked as newspaper boys for the
Milwaukee Journal
Their father became a kosher butcher.
Houdini took his name from the French illusionist, Robert-Eugene Houdin.
His first professional performance is thought to have been at the Pasadena Athletic Club in New York.
There's a small Houdini museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and the University of Texas in Austin hold collections.
There are commercial museums at Houdini's Magic Shop in Las Vegas and Fantasma Magic in New York. Magician David Copperfield has a private collection.
The Museum At The Castle in Appleton also has exhibits. Its gift shop sells straitjackets. But no butter churns or manacles.
"We hope to hear from Harry soon," says Boldt. "He might make his comeback if he knows it's a sellout crowd.
"He was the ultimate showman. He once said that only when people were sure he was licked would he appear. He was a master of suspense."
This year's Houdini séance takes place October 31 at the
Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
and is open to the public; entrance fee $45;

This is a story.
A dojo was having a demonstration. A hundred students were participating and there were hundreds of spectators. All of a sudden, Anko Itosu appeared... poof! Once again, he had used his time machine (which also has a built in English translator for people who are wondering).
The head of the dojo was so happy! With tears in his eyes he introduced Itosu Sensei, who was one of the leading masters of his own style of Karate (Shorin-Ryu). All of the students and the audience erupted with applause.
To celebrate Itosu's visit, the dojo head had the students perform the five Pinan kata. They did so in perfect unison, and then stood at attention, awaiting Itosu's comments.
"Eh," began Itosu stepping up to a microphone, "that's not how I designed the Pinan kata, I remember...."
Before he could finish his sentence the dojo head took the microphone from him and yelled, "Imposter!"
Before the security guards could arrive poof, Itosu Sensei returned to the past.

One Killed, Several Injured in a Serious Accident That Closes White Horse Pike in Galloway [VIDEO]

The accident happened on the White Horse Pike at Pomona Road around 11:00 Monday morning. KYW-TV reports one person was killed and several people were injured in the accident that, according to police, was caused by a truck that didn't stop at a red light on Route 30.

Every team has been making cuts over the last few days to pare their rosters down to 75 players, but the Cardinals actually added a player on Tuesday while also excising the necessary players from the team.
The Cardinals have signed tight end Richard Quinn, who was cut by the Bengals a couple of days ago. Quinn was a second-round pick of the Broncos in 2009, but got cut by the team in 2011. He played one game for the Redskins that year, but has not seen any regular season action since then.
Arizona is hurting at tight end with starter Rob Housler out with an ankle injury and backup Jeff King just getting back to work after a knee injury. Quinn had just one catch in 29 games with Denver, so he's unlikely to help the team much as a receiver.
The Cardinals were at 76 players before Quinn's arrival. They released safety Javon Harris and tight end Mickey Shuler to get to the 75-man limit.

SOUTH YARMOUTH, Mass. (July 21, 2013) – East Tennessee State University rising senior Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) was named to the 2013 Cape Cod League All-Star Team, which was announced by the league office on Saturday.
Freeman, a two-way player (OF/LHP) for the Bourne Braves, is hitting .321 (34-106) with five doubles, 10 runs scored, and 13 RBI in a team-leading 27 games played this summer. The Buccaneer standout is tied for the team lead in doubles, ranks second in hits and RBI, third in batting average, and sixth in runs scored. Freeman also ranks ninth in the Cape Cod League in hits and 14th in batting average.
The Jonesborough, Tenn., native has hit safely in 15 of his last 17 games, including a 5-for-5 effort earlier this month against the Orleans Firebirds. Overall, Freeman has hit safely in 20 of his 27 games played and has registered nine multi-hit games.
Freeman has also made two appearances on the mound and has struck out four hitters in two innings of work this summer.
The Braves are sending five total players to the All-Star game, which will be played Saturday, July 27 at Red Wilson Field in South Yarmouth, Mass.
Freeman joins ETSU rising sophomore Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) to be selected their summer league's All-Star teams. Earlier this month, Taylor was named to the Sunbelt League All-Star Team. Taylor is playing for the Home Plate Chukars.

That looks to be a good score there, nice job! I'd personally have reservations on buying a Blue Snaggletooth without seeing it in hand - it sounds like as if you're concerned as well. The picture looks good, but considering it was taken on a scanner bed it could be the lighting. Hopefully it will be as good as the picture makes out to be, cause you've a potentially great score here.
I have seen these BS's go for cheap lately & with bin's. This BS went for a song even tho the torso is faded!
I have a question on the toe dent. What's the background on this? Is either version more rare than the other? I have a spare toe dented BS for trade if anyone has one without the dent.
It's a manufacturing flaw. Something got lodged in the mold (or one of the molds) sometime during production.
What did you pay for it back in the day?
Please tell me that you don't have that set up in your kitchen.
