DJ El G hones Latin sound
A few weeks ago, Max Baca y Los TexManiacs made Hi-Tones feel like the new Saluté.
Thursday, Churchill High School graduate Grant Dull, aka El G, armed with his laptop, will turn Hi-Tones into a Latinized, scaled-down version of a Skrillex concert at Austin City Limits Music Festival.
The 36-year-old DJ, music curator, producer and indie record-label executive specializes in mining the underground sounds (and attitude) of Argentina — be it from the ghettos or swankier settings.
He was so enamored with it, he traveled to and lived in Buenos Aires after studying at the University of San Diego.
His ZZK Records is promoting the compilation "Future Sounds of Buenos Aires." The music is electronic and futuristic.
Dull said he's excited about getting into El G mode again. He'll tour Europe in April and hit the road through June. It's his first solo, headlining tour.
"I get enormous satisfaction, pleasure connecting all the dots and running the label day to day," Dull said.
"I like putting the story and the image and everything together with the music. I find that really fun, professionally and personally. But I also enjoy playing out and crowds dancing to what we've got cooking."
There is nothing, he added, like "a stage and a really good crowd."
Thursday is a bit of a homecoming gig.
The energy El G draws on depends on the venue, size of the crowd, the music and, of course, the dancing. Small-venue shows, he says, are "often amazing."
"You can feel the energy," he said. "As a DJ, as a musician, as an artist, there's just something that you feel in the room. The dance floor getting going is very important. It's that energy."
He describes his music and that of his fellow label mates as experimental dance with a Latin flavor. The groove will sometimes feature a traditional instrument that is often darker and moodier than a typical cumbia that reflects the economic, social and revolutionary struggles of the country from which it emanates.
"What the guys are doing on the label is really forward-thinking, cutting edge," he said. "They just happen to be from Argentina, so it's Latin, you know what I mean? It's just really good electronic dance music."

Saturday injury update: Charter Oak QB Travis Santiago did not break his ankle on Friday. X-Rays were negative, leaving him with a sprained ankle and out for an indefinite period.
Friday's results
Bishop Amat 42, Damien 7 — The Lancers were dominant throughout, leading 35-0 at halftime. QB Rio Ruiz had a breakthrough game, throwing for 200 plus yards and two TDs.
Rancho Cucamonga 40, Charter Oak 28 — The Cougars have the Chargers' number, improving to 2-0-1 against them over the last three years. It's a big setback, the Chargers can't seem to win the big marquee encounters. Even worse, word is Chargers QB Travis Santiago suffered a sprained ankle on the last play. Does that mean Josiah Thropay takes over next week?
West Covina 33, Glendora 28 — Can we forget Covina? In all seriousness, if the Bulldogs aren't the No. 1 ranked team in the Southeast next week, the pollsters aren't paying attention.
Bonita 29, Baldwin Park 0 — Did I just say West Covina should be No. 1 in the Southeast? Yup, I forgot about the guys in green, who make an equally compelling argument.
Tesoro 59, South Hills 6 — This wasn't just a loss, this was another humbling defeat for the Huskies, who get Monrovia on Thursday.
Diamond Bar 31, Brea Olinda 28 — The Brahmas have all the momentum they need going into next week's Hacienda opener against Diamond Ranch.
San Dimas 35, Monrovia 34, OT — Amazing. The Saints trailed 28-7 heading into the fourth, scored 21 unanswered points and won in overtime. If you're Monrovia, you're only hope is you win the rematch come December.
Walnut 49, Covina 42, OT — The Colts finally surrender their first loss, which is a huge boost to the Mustangs' confidence.
Hart 44, Arroyo 3 — With or without QB Steven Rivera, it wouldn't of made a difference.
Wilson 36, La Puente 20 — The Wildcats beat a good team, it makes you wonder what their Valle Vista league chances really are.
Chino 47, Northview 30 — Looks like it's going to be another long year for the Vikings.
Chino Hills 48, Pomona 13 –– Even though Pomona was undefeated, you kind of expected this.
Rosemead 21, San Marino 7 — The Panthers finally get in the win column.
Claremont 24, Rowland 21 — Didn't see this coming at all, but when two good teams meet, anything can happen.
Sierra Vista 42, Keppel 12 — Dons offense continues to roll heading into the Montview.
Nogales 40, South El Monte 19 — Nobles, like Wilson, could be another VVL contender.
Ayala 34, Los Altos 7 — Could be a long, long season for the Conqs
Workman at Montclair, NA
Garey at Ganesha, NA

Being adventurous with sea bass
Today I was brave and asked for a whole sea bass - cleaned and gutted, that is. This was quite a big step - I bought a fish I hadn't bought before, and I bought the whole fish as opposed to plain fillets. A quick web-search yielded this lovely recipe for lightly flavoured oven-steamed seabass. A very nice and subtle ginger and soy flavour, the almost creamy texture of the fish (and very few annoying bones to my utmost delight), this was a simple but festive dish to serve. Another definite keeper. Sometimes it just pays to be a bit more adventurous after all..
Oven-steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions
(Idamaine meriahven ingveri ja talisibulaga)
Adapted from Epicurious, Menus, February 2006
Serves 2
800 gram whole sea bass, cleaned
0.5 tsp salt
1 bunch spring onions
2-3 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
3 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce
0.25 tsp sugar
Prepare the spring onions. Cut the white and pale green parts into very thin 5 cm strips. Put the green parts aside (you need them later).
Rub the cleaned and gutted fish with salt inside and out. Put into a large baking dish, and the dish in a large roasting pan.
Cover the fish with julienned spring onion and ginger. Mix the sugar and soy sauce and pour over the fish as well.
Fill the roasting pan with boiling water, so it reaches half-ways up side of baking dish.
Cover the whole lot (both the baking dish with the fish and the roasting tin with the baking dish) with foil, sealing the edges tightly, so no steam can escape.
Put onto the middle position in a preheated 200°C oven and oven-steam for 30-35 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
To serve, remove the foil and sprinkle with sliced spring onions (the green bit).
Serve with boiled rice.
Oh - and the dessert was whipped cream, strongly flavoured with lemon juice and zest (2 Nice lemons per 284 ml double cream), sweetened with icing sugar. So simple, and yet so lovely.

Hi Pille, I will definitely put this recipe on my list for next week, it sounds so tricky, good and easy. I am in the happy position to have a "fishmongress" round the corner, but I agree with you that it pays to be more adventurous from time to time and not only to take the same types of fish. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, angelika

Pille, your seabass reminded me of John from Masterchef :) (can I say I was really hoping that Dean would win... I fell in love with him, such a sweet guy!)

Ah, I have a fishmongress too! LOL.
I adore seabass and luckily for me, it's very readily available and fairly inexpensive here. I usually steam it though with almost the exact same combo of flavours as yours! Try steaming it in a bamboo steamer .. it reallt adds an additional depth. Hungry now ...

sea bass is not too expensive here
you will enjoy sea food galore when u come

Sounds like John Torode's (masterchef judge) dish. Eddies is fab - try some Turbot or Dover Sole next if your wallet can take the pain - these are my 2 favourite fish, Scottish langoustines are very good too. Will try your cream and lemon dessert soon.

Love love sea bass!!! Great fish Pille! You made me smile, when I saw you mentioned dessert as well ;-) Sweet tooth, eh? ;-)

Fishmongress ~ maybe a fisherwife, especially if she is a bit shrill. After all, they need to do something while the husband is catching the fish.
- 1:54 am, March 21, 2006
p.s. Love your sea bass!

- Pille said...
Matt - it was lovely, but you were way too far to make it in time;)
Szofi - thanks for your kind words re: the new design - I wanted something brighter for the spring.
I think I'm rekindling my love affair with ginger at the moment as well.
Angelika - I wonder if there is a word for a female fishmonger? Somehow the 'monger' bit sounds so masculine to me.
If you do go ahead with this fish dish, then please let me know what you thought of it, thanks!
Antti - I knew you'd approve:) Though I did almost left the shop after spotting some razor clams on display. Spoooooooky..
Keiko - was that in the episode when poor Dean (my favourite as well - so cute:) made tea-infused steamed fish? I didn't see the cooking bit, only the judging. I spotted pretty much the same recipe in Sunday Herald (a Scottish broadsheet) yesterday in Marjorie Lang's (MasterChef 2000 apparently) column, so it seems to be all the rage at the moment!
MM - this wasn't too expensive either, I paid 5 or 6 quid for the fish. It would have served up to 3 persons, but it was finished by two hungry Estonian lassies this time.. And thanks for the bamboo steamer tip - will try it. Once I buy myself one:)
Sha - the list of foods to eat this summer in Greece is growing and growing. I can live without ginger (as opposed to garlic, parsley and dill), but it's definitely a lovely to have in the kitchen!
Mark - that John Torode again - sadly, he doesn't get a mention in the Epicurious post:) Was he the judge back in 2000? That would explain the recipe in yesterday's Herald.. I've been eyeing that Dover Sole at Eddie's for a while, but it's ca 20 pounds, which is way to expensive. So seabass, salmon or haddock it is..
Bea - yep, there's pretty much always a dessert, although it's usually something that can be whipped together in minutes. So they don't really count:)
Tankeduptaco - not sure my fishmongress's husband actually catches the fish - I think he's just behind the counter as well. So I'll stick to my fishmongress:)
Paz - thanks! It's really easy to make as well!

Judge Rosemary M. Collyer
September 2012: Median Prison Sentence
District Court - Washington, D.C.
Referring Agency: District of Columbia
Program Area: Narcotics/Drugs
For all cases disposed of in the current fiscal year (2012) that were credited to Judge Rosemary M. Collyer in the District of Washington, D.C., the median prison sentence was 48.0 months, when looking only at cases referred by the District of Columbia falling under the broad category of "Narcotics/Drugs". During the current fiscal year, Judge Rosemary M. Collyer has sentenced one defendant compared with 3 defendants during the twelve months of the previous fiscal year.
Over the last five years, the median prison sentence imposed on defendants that were credited to Judge Collyer was 60.0 months. This was 25.0% higher than the 48.0 months typical in Washington, D.C. and 16.7% lower than the 72.0 months median prison sentence for the nation. Judge Rosemary M. Collyer sentenced 11 defendants during the past five years.
(CAUTION: The kinds of cases handled by individual judges influences statistical information about their sentences. It therefore is important to consider the breakdown of cases that each has handled, available below, when making judge-by-judge comparisons.)
Figure 1 compares Judge Collyer's numbers to those for judges in this district and in the United States as a whole for cases of this type over the last five years.
During the last five years there were 13 other judges in the District of Washington, D.C. with information on convictions during that period. Median prison sentence numbers passed down for those judges ranged from 18.0 months to 84.0 months, putting Judge Collyer's median prison sentence of 60.0 months at the higher end of the range. The median prison sentence for the whole District of Washington, D.C. during that time was 48.0 months.

The target audience will be UK individuals.
Borrowers with reasonable credit ratings who wish to get an unsecured loan up to £15,000
Investors who wish to get a better return on their money than they would at a bank.
We are looking for a visual of a single page only, which we will use as a template for each page of the site. If you feel a different template for the home page is appropriate, please provide two visuals – one for the home page and one for other pages.
The visual(s) needs to be provided in layered PSD format.
The page design should be professional but clean and modern. The home page needs to be visually appealing but again clean and not too busy as the main thing is to get the message across to borrowers and investors.
The home page design should focus on the two areas of the site "borrowers" and "investors" and should channel the user to the separate pages for these people. There should also be a login direct from the homepage which will lead to the individuals account for registered users although this doesn't have to be very prominent.
The site structure will most likely be

AT&T Hands Its CDN Over to Akamai
Craig Matsumoto, Editor-in-Chief, Light Reading
Apparently giving up on its own content delivery network (CDN), AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) Thursday announced a deal to put Akamai Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: AKAM) at the edges of its network.
The deployment will start in North America and will move internationally after about 12 months. AT&T's own CDN, which was announced last year, will be merged into the Akamai deployment in 2013, the companies said.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Why this matters
Carriers need CDNs; at least, that's the current thinking. But in AT&T's case, maintaining its own CDN -- using technology licensed from EdgeCast Networks Inc. and Cotendo Inc. -- was apparently not worth the effort.
As for why carriers need CDNs -- it's all the video content they're being asked to shunt around. Putting up a CDN means spending less money on routers and other equipment in the middle of the network.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ), meanwhile, is pursuing something a little more ambitious. Its Digital Media Services (DMS), launched early in 2011, is like a CDN that adds transcoding and formatting for different devices. Verizon's aim was to offer DMS to other carriers, including cable providers.

Name: Marcos
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Location: new york city
I may have premature ejaculation, meaning after I'm exited I can't hold it in (ejaculation) for more than a couple of minutes, which worries me regarding the pleasure I can provide… Suggestions, other than the eventual doctor visit?
The curious thing about premature ejaculation is that what constitutes "premature" is pretty subjective. Some men report that they can only last a minute or two, others say they can last only 15 minutes, but all consider themselves as premature ejaculators. I'm not trying to suggest that PE is a figment of one's imagination, on the contrary. Any guy who isn't satisfied with the control he has, or does not have, over his ejaculation may fall into this general category. In the same way, lasting longer, whatever longer, might mean is a relatively easy thing to accomplish. All ya gotta do is work at prolonging the pleasure.
Let's start with how you jack-off, Marcos. If I had to guess these sessions are speedy little affairs, right? A quick wank just to relieve sexual tension is a good thing, but if that's all the self-pleasuring you do it will interfere with your partnered pleasure later. Look at it this way, if you body is sensitized to cumin' quickly like while jerkin' off just relieve tension, then that's how it'll respond later, when you're with a partner.
I suggest that you reevaluate your self-pleasuring activity. Most, if not all, of your masturbation should be dedicated to full body masturbation. The object in this kind of masturbation is to play with the sex tension that develops in self-pleasuring and to delay the your ejaculation for as long as you can.
Here's how it works, as you become turned on you build up sexual tension. I want you to move the sexual energy all over your body as you stroke your cock. Touch and pleasure your whole body — feet, nipples, asshole, what have you. Make the pleasure last as long as you can. As you approach the point of ejaculation, stop stroking your dick and concentrate your play on the other parts of your body. When the urge to cum subsides, you can start to stroke your dick again. Do this over and over till you can last 30 minutes. By the way, some people refer to this as edging or edge play — coming to the edge of cuming and then backing away. Get it? Got it? Good!
The purpose of this exercise, I mean besides the joy of gettin' off on your whole body, is to teach your body a different way to respond to cock stimulation. If you practice this method conscientiously it will increase your sexual stamina when you're with a partner too.
I also have in mind a swell sex toy that will help you overcome your premature ejaculation. I discovered the ideal device to help you or anyone else that wants to last longer. As you may already know I have a product reviews site, cleverly named: DrDickSexToyReviews.com. I post reviews of all kinds of adult products — sex toys for sure, but also condoms, lubes, fetish gear as well as educational and enrichment videos. I reviewed the Fleshlight way back in 2007.
To make a long story short, the Fleshlight is, as I said, is a male masturbator, but a very unique one. I wrote in my review:
"I always like to take my time with a new toy. Ya know, to get a sense of how the thing works and feels. This was particularly the way to go with the Fleshlight. Masturbating with one of these puppies has several advantages to your basic hand job. First, there is a delightful silkiness, and a tight consistent pressure on your cock throughout each stroke. In this regard pluggin' a Fleshlight is very different than pluggin' any human orifice I know. But that's not a bad thing, mind you. Consider the guy who is dealing with premature ejaculation, for example. I'm positive that if he used a Fleshlight to train himself to last longer, he'd have way more success than if he just used his hand. This is an ideal device for practicing delaying one's orgasm. And you can bank on that!"
Now when you're having sex with your partner; do the same thing as when you're doing your full-body masturbation. Spread the sexual energy around. Don't focus on your pud. Concentrate on stalling your orgasm through the techniques you learned in your self-pleasuring. If you're getting close to cumin', pull out of penetration till you regain control; then reinsert.
This is going to take some practice, but I think it's worth the effort. Once you mastered this there are other more advanced techniques that I can turn you on to.
One final thing, if you are concerned about the amount of pleasure you can provide, short fuse or not, I always encourage the men I work with in my private practice to look to pleasuring their partners before they even get warmed up themselves. But even after you cum, you still have a mouth and hands and fingers with witch to pleasure your partner, so there's never an excuse to leave a partner unsatisfied regardless of your own sexual response cycle.
Good luck

'1 Girl 5 Gays' Star Matthew Santos Dead At 28-Years-Old
Wow. 1 Girl 5 Gays host and MTV correspondent Matthew Santos has died at 28-years-old according to the 1 Girl 5 Gays Facebook page:
It is with profound sadness that we share in the sudden passing of Matthew Santos. As a colleague and friend to MTV, Matthew was a generous, kind, and spirited individual of whom we will always hold wonderful memories. As part of the cast of 1 girl 5 gays, Matthew embodied a bold originality and fearless individuality so rarely seen, but so greatly appreciated. Through his honesty and candour, he bravely demonstrated the importance of living life on your own terms. Matthew shunned the ordinary, and because of that, became extraordinary. How very lucky we all are to have known him. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and boyfriend Taurel.
Santos passed away on Feb. 8. A funeral mass was held on Valentine's Day in Toronto. His cause of death has not been announced.
So sad and so sudden. We're sending our condolences to his friends and family.
(H/T: NNNext)
It is sad for those left behind. We can celebrate for those who move on to joy in God's kingdom without pain, fear or prejudice. I enjoyed the show because of the participants freedom to be who they are and the brave way they expressed Who they are as individuals. True Christians are kind and love all people regardless of their differences. Haters are exactly that, haters. They have to meet their maker one day. Then they will be judged. RIP Santos
uhm in this day and age for a young man to die of pneumonia is rather unusual...he likely died from pneumonia as a result of his immune system being so compromised and i suspect likely from AIDS. On the show he often commented about how he had gotten many diseases and had them treated. He was likely very careless and did not exercise care in protecting himself. I do not agree with the secretness of his cause of death as he was quite influential on the show and had a large following.
His death should not be for naught...we can all learn from this as a way to avoid such tragedies in the future. I hope there will be more openness at some point once his family comes to terms with his passing which i'm sure is not easy. Perhaps through his death...he can save many of the living thru practicing safe sex.
The fact he was an independent thinker was his charm.
I don't care how he died and if his choices played a role. It was his life and they were his choices to make. His life clearly wasn't all about doing what everyone else thinks. And so many of us admired him for that.
Right now this is all about how sad this is for the people that knew and loved him. Right now its all about them.
I wonder why we feel, at this moment, when people are suffering, why we feel now is the time to judge. He lived by railing against other's judgments... can't he just rest in peace now?
i think it is obvious his cause of death...most likely AIDS, if you see him on the show his lympnodes looked swollen and his gums were red and bleeding...likely from the meds he was on to treat. again i speculate but the signs point to AIDS IMO. He was also deathly thin and sweating at times.
people leaving hate or negative messages about a dead person shows they are immature, mentally unstable or just heartless idiots.. as a matter of fact Santos was one of the nicest of the 1girl5gays panel..... He was by far one of the more mature and unique individuals to appear on the panel.... Maybe its the brainwashed Matt Barker fans spreading hate and immaturity
may he find his bliss, . not to get off the subject . but what is with the hate messages here? .. I thought we the people have grown from this simple thinking . all that matters is that a person has passed and he touched people along the way .. he is at peace . lets keep it respectable with class.
God bless ya bro
Some of you people posting all of these disgusting comments about how he was a terrible person need to cut the shit.He was gay who gives a shit he was a person too no one deeserves to be treated like that, who cares if he was gay that was the way he was born.He was a person too and doesn't deserve all this disrespect so all of you bible thumpers, Jesus freaks, and homophobic assholes need to get offline and delete yourself from the online world. You people are disgusting excuses for human being, and this is coming from a straight women, cut the crap and show a little bit of respect.
Most people have always judged other people they know nothing about. It is not a question of being gay or not, it is about RESPECT. Respect the ones who have died for they have their own story. If you can't respect his preferences, might as well respect the person. You, too, are a human being. Just in case you forget, we ALL deserve to LOVE and be LOVED in return. No one can tell you otherwise.
He was a quirky often misunderstood character on 1girl5gays ... but still always himself ... and I often thought the other guys often made fun of him but he took it in good stride ... a young gay life taken away too soon ... condolences to his family and loved ones ... RIP Santos in heaven you can be whoever you want to be!

As a new forum user I will introduce myself.
I am Koen Peters, 28 years old. Living in the Netherlands, close to Rotterdam. Almost celebrating my 12,5 year anniversary as a Toyota mechanic. Started as a 16 year old apprentice and worked my way up to get my Toyota master technician degree and Diagnostic Technical Specialist degree. Since a couple of years I am chief workshop at a Toyota and Suzuki dealer.
I'm all about Toyota, the list of Toyota/Lexus I previously owned:
3x Starlet P8
Starlet P7
Corolla KE70
Corolla E11 G6R
Yaris P1
Yaris P9 TS
CT200h F-Sport is my current ride
I always had a big interest in Celica TA23, very very nice looking car. A bit skinny on the wheels and engine. My target is a nice aubergine colored TA23, nicely lowered en and sitting on nice wide wheels with flares. Enginewise i want to go 2JZGTE. In the build I want to use a lot of Toyota parts from other Toyota's as seats from a Celica T22, IS300/Altezza brakes and so on.
But to start this project I still need a good base. Aaand that's the thingy.... Unrestored TA23s are very very rare here, and it has to be worth the effort bodywise. Restored TA23 is not an option. Way overpriced and not sure whats under the nice paint...
I hope that I might find a original Dutch TA23 trough this forum, importing a car is not my preference because here in the Netherlands the car would get a brand new licence plate what would break down the classic car image.
Now I'm gonna explore this forum

Producer of high end cross bred cattle (club calves - industry name). Breed, raise, show and sell cross bred market type cattle. Primarily these calves are sold as 4-H and FFA projects. Often older femals and bulls are sold as seedstock to other ranches around the country. Looking for somthing I can use on a banner or side of stock trailer - to include (Kootenai Land & Cattle - Club Calves or your club calf source - Coeur D'Alene, Idaho 208-660-9065. Go to showsteers.com for clip art ideas - I would like a picture of some sort of steer. These are not exotic cattle, they are simply cross bred genetics to maximize the best of 3-4 different breeds, like Black Angus, Maine Anjou, Simental etc. at the end of the day these animals end up in the meat locker.
Desired audience, other club calf producers, other people in the show cattle business, cattle ranchers. Typically the people who buy this type of cattle know what there doing and looking at. The banner would be displayed at various livestock shows and sales. Not a new market. These people arent hicks, this can be big business.
Somthing that fits the industy (obviosly) no funky cow pictures or heads of cows. I want the club calf / show cattle look.

NEW YORK -- Train wreck with a possible happy ending -- that's the story of Mickey Rourke's career.
Rourke was an A-lister in the 1980s, the centre of such films as Diner, Rumble Fish, The Pope of Greenwich Village, Barfly, Angel Heart and 9 1/2 Weeks.
He was a huge star, and in the days when talent was still a part of the equation.
Things changed. Rourke's movie career went south, and in 1991 he made a move to pro boxing -- the sport that he says occupied his adolescence. He was already too old to make boxing a career, but from all accounts, Rourke, who is somewhere between 52 and 58, depending upon who you ask, was a skilled fighter.
Around the same time, he was making bad decisions about movie roles, turning down a role in Pulp Fiction and other big projects to take on turkeys such as Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. He flamed out amid the usual stories of bad behaviour on set and off, explosive love life, dissipated living. It was probably fun while it lasted.
In the past few years, Rourke has quietly been staging a comeback. Whether it has been as organized as that sounds or not, Rourke is back on the scene now, big time, in the new Darren Aronofsky-directed movie, The Wrestler, opening here on Christmas Day.
In The Wrestler, Rourke plays an aging fighter long past his glory days who just can't find a life outside professional wrestling. (Rourke and Aronofsky showed the movie to an audience that included Rowdy Roddy Piper, and he and other wrestlers have praised the film.) It's a raw, spare, close-to-the-knuckle performance from Rourke; an Oscar nomination for him looks like a dead cert.
To get to the obvious, Rourke's washed-up wrestler role looks a lot like Rourke's washed-up actor real life.
Of that, he says, "You know, I was on the bench for 13 years, and after like, 10 years go by, all you have is hope, and you start thinking, 'Man, is it really f----- over, like everybody says it is?' And in a town like L.A., you're reminded every day. You go out for a pack of cigarettes at 2 in the morning and there's a lineup of like, five or six people, and some jerk's gonna go, 'Hey! didn't you used to be ... ?' And you hear it 24/7. Or someone will come up and mention 9 1/2 Weeks, or Angel Heart, and yeah -- that was a long f----- time ago.
"It's like a fighter talking about old fights in the gym."
And all the rabid fan sites dedicated to Rourke? Did they help in the dark times?
No, says the actor, because they were all based on the past.
"That's what you did. What you did 20 years ago -- you can't pay the rent on that. You can't get laid on that. You can't go get a drink on that. You're yesterday's news. You get treated differently."
Rourke had almost reached a point where he'd given up.
"There were small things along the way," he concedes.
Rourke puts the blame for his wrecked career squarely on himself.
"When I had a chance, I behaved so terribly. I wasn't accountable, I wasn't professional," he says.
"It wasn't that I was misunderstood. It was because I had a fuse burning inside of me that I didn't know how to put out.
"I didn't have the knowledge of how to do that, until I went and got information about why I behaved the way I did around authority figures. Only until you do that can you make a change.
"I thought I could change in a year, year and a half. I didn't realize it would take 10 years of working on it consistently.
"Before, I didn't care if there were repercussions."
Rourke set about mending fences, and one of the relationships he renewed was with old friend Bruce Springsteen.
Rourke wrote him a letter; the result is a song Springsteen wrote specifically for The Wrestler.
There's a scene in the movie that has Rourke's character -- Randy (The Ram) Robinson -- working at a supermarket deli, white apron and hair net included.
The Ram is doing his best to embrace civilian life, but a customer recognizes him, and the wrestler freaks out over how far he feels he has fallen.
"I was right there," says Rourke of the scene's emotion.
He describes his attempt to find construction work when things were bleakest for him, explaining that he figured he could work in the San Fernando Valley or somewhere else where people wouldn't recognize him.
But the friend he thought would help just laughed him off.
"I remember thinking, 'I can't even get a f------ construction job.' It was close."
Rourke credits his agent, David Unger of ICM, for bringing his career back to life.
"He took a big chance on his career by taking on a guy like me, with my reputation, and the baggage that came with me.
"I did a lot of damage out there."
Maybe so, but when Rourke gets up to leave the interview room, the reporters present applaud him spontaneously.
And loudly.
Over many years and literally thousands of interviews, this is something we've never seen happen before.
So it's nice to be back, then?
"Painfully nice," Rourke says.

This time around I'm taking a crack at setting up a turn-based TCG with elements of tower defense. Here's my basic gameplay pitch that I typed up at 3am a few days ago:
Olly's 3am Brain wrote:So, here are my thoughts. Instead of it being a Player vs. Player game, it'll be Party vs. Party, via forums. Each team will have three people, each of those three playing one of the classes (Wizard, Warrior, Rogue) without doubling up on any of them. Each player will have a deck corresponding with their class (blue for Wizards, Red for Warriors, Green for Rogues). On the field, each player will be represented by a Unique Character (haven't quite decided how to handle them yet. Might do simple PC generation rules to make people feel special).
The battlefield will be a dungeon-y type setting, where each team has a Haven or Fortress of some sort, and within that area are all three of the player's Decks. When a Character walks onto a Deck, that Deck discards a number of cards equal to the Character's Strength (second box down on the left of the card). When a Deck reaches 0 cards, that deck is OUT, and the corresponding Unique Character is removed from play. When all three Decks in a Haven are reduced to 0, that team loses the game.
Players can play one card per turn from a hand of (3-5?) cards, and can choose whether or not to draw one card at the end of their turn. A Character card spawns a new Character with the given Stats in a space adjacent to the Player's Unique Character, or by the Player's Deck. The other cards are played through Characters (both Unique and non) on the battlefield, based on their Range stat (which is assed at the bottom righthand corner of the Character card picture).
Characters can move a number of tiles up to their Movement stat (assed on the bottom lefthand corner of the Character card picture) per turn, and have a number of hit points equal to their Health stat (top lefthand box, with the heart).
And, a mockup of the cards themselves (I'm going to do a mock game board as well sometime over the next week or so; and yes, I am using the PDO tiles, or at least what I could salvage of them).
Obviously there a bunch of holes left to fill in, but that's why I need you guys to help me out! Point out flaws, details I may have missed, and ask questions about things if you feel they need some clarification. I want this to be as smooth as possible (and I also wanted to bring this to your attention early on, so that any major wrinkles can be adjusted before I get too deep into development).
Any card concepts or ideas that you have, go ahead and post those too! I'm going to need a bunch more.
Thanks for reading,
-=- Added equipment cards, and an example of how they are placed on Character cards.
-=- Added card backings.

Dyson vacuums get rave reviews from their owners.
Dyson vacuums' root cyclone technology captures microscopic dust and the lifetime guaranteed, washable HEPA filter ensures that dust is trapped. That cool ball thing (not the actual name, I'm sure) means you'll maneuver around the living room furniture cuss word-free.
But they're pretty expensive compared some of the vacuums we see advertised. Of course, you get what you pay for.
Except for now, that is. You'll actually pay one-fifth less for what you're getting.
I don't usually pump individual sales on this blog, but I think it's pretty exciting that all Dyson vacuum cleaners are on sale for 20% off through April 17 at Warners' Stellian.
That's means you'll…
And more Dyson vacuum models, of course. Plus, vacuums qualify for free shipping.

Pizza & beer, peanut butter & jelly, bread & butter, some things just go together! In this local recipe from Pesaro (Le Marche) Italy beer is used instead of sugar. The addition of beer with milk and olive oil in the recipes, makes a soft dough with a crispy crust.
In celebration of Ferragosto, the culmination of summer in Italy we threw our Thursday Pizza Night Party with a twist - we used Collesi beer, a local, award-winning artisan beer from our neighboring village of Apecchio! All the Collesi beers - unpasturized, unfiltered, and naturally fermented in the bottle - are brewed in small batches
Pizza Dough Recipe
25g of fresh active yeast or 1/4 oz. packet/envelope of dry yeast
1 glass of milk
1 glass of water
1 finger of extra virgin olive oil
1 finger of beer (Collessi)
1 glass of high gluten flour
enough all-purpose flour to make a smooth dough
Note: The 'glass' size is a typical juice glass (about 6 oz). Exact amounts are not important as long as the same glass is used throughout the recipe. A 'finger' of olive oil means measuring the width of your finger across the glass.
Heat liquid ingredients to tepid.
Add yeast & dissolve completely. Wait 2-3 minutes for yeast to activate.
Add high gluten flour & mix in. Begin adding all-purpose flour cup by cup & incorporating until a dough suitable for turning on a board is achieved.
Turn dough out on board, knead for 10 minutes or until dough is smooth & elastic, adding flour as needed.
Return dough to original bowl, cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to double to triple in size in a warm draft-free place (normally about 3 hours.)
Punch dough down & allow to rise again (usually about 1.5-2 hours).
Cut & shape into baseball size balls of dough for individual pizzas.(225g-250g/8oz weight dough balls). Allow dough balls to proof about 1 hour before rolling out.
More about the Beer:
The brewery is called La Fabbrica Della Birra Tenute Collesi which translates to "The Collesi Beer Factory" (www.collesi.com).
Join us every Friday for our Market Tour and trip to visit Collesi brewery & distillery for a beer and grappa tasting!

Hi, it's Sugar, Ted and Roxanne's Jack Russell. The most amazing thing happened last night, so I got up before dawn to write about it while I can get on the keyboard. You-know-who doesn't like to share his computer.
Some folks might wonder how I do that, you know, type on a keyboard without thumbs. Simple. I use my nose on the space bar. Nothing to it, a poodle could figure it out. (For you poodle owners out there, his email address is email@example.com Don't forget the brownies-that's a private joke among original readers of this column).
Anyway, I was inspired to write this while it's fresh on my mind. If you have a dog, you know that never lasts long.
A Dog's Houseboat Christmas
`Twas the season of Christmas and all through the boat,
Everybody was sleeping, so these verses I wrote.
The old sock I'd fetched out from under the bed,
Was now thoroughly chewed `til the flavor was dead.
Ole Ted lay a'snorin', Roxanne by his side,
But I was much too excited, couldn't sleep, tho I tried.
See, Christmas comes just once every year,
And for our Christmas dinner I was thinking of deer.
Although turkey is good, mashed potatoes besides,
And dressing and gravy to warm my insides.
While I lay on the sofa just dreaming of food,
Came a noise from the lake which changed my whole mood.
The motor I heard sounded like a Jesskie,
It was coming in fast, maybe coming for me!
I ran to the window, looked out at the lake,
In the light of the moon, with a silvery wake,
Flew a shiny red Jesskie, a fat man on the seat,
And I wondered who he was coming to meet.
He was driving too fast and I hoped he could swim,
The "No Wake" zone clearly meant nothing to him.
He pulled up to the dock, a big bag on his back,
Got off of the Jesskie and set down the sack.
My ears were straight up, my neck fur it bristled,
I was set to attack when just then he whistled,
He opened the door and gave me a call,
Reached into the bag and like magic.a ball!
Then out came another, and another, three balls!
Enough balls to make anyone bounce off the walls!
He threw one, I chased it, my new bestest friend,
And I hoped this magical night wouldn't end.
His face was all smiles so I gave it a lick,
And I figured it out, this must be St. Nick!
Since my tail's always ready I gave it a wag,
He smiled and reached once more into his bag.
Came out with some bacon and to please him I ate it,
And as a joke, broccoli, which I ignored cuz I hate it.
When he turned to the Jesskie I hoped for a ride,
But he just patted my head and said, "Happy Yuletide!"
Then he walked to the `Ski with a fat jolly waddle,
Started it up and opened the throttle.
And I heard him exclaim as he sped `cross the water,
"Be a good doggie, Sugar, and do just what you oughter!"
He waved one more time and called me by name,
Now Christmas will never again be the same.
I gave a quick bark of goodbye to my friend,
And he splashed out of sight as he rounded the bend.
This year if you can, go on out to the boat,
And discover the wonder of Christmas afloat!
When my People wake up they won't believe me,
But the three magic balls? They're right here to see!
Until the next time I'm on the `puter alone,Merry Christmas to all, and to all a steak bone!Sugar

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - While many families over the last several years fought for their homes and lost, a Julington Creek family gets to stay in their home after a foreclosure fight with Wells Fargo.
In late 2009, Jason and Jennifer Westbrook had fallen behind on their mortgage.
"We were struggling with mortgage payments," Jennifer Westbrook said. "We knew the amount we were paying at the time was a little too high."
After unsuccessfully trying to get the bank to bank to modify the loan and facing foreclosure, they were able to make $7,000 payment to come current.
"Two months later (the bank) foreclosed on her, anyway and that's when I got involved," said the Westbrooks' attorney, Tom Pycraft.
Pycraft filed suit against the Wells Fargo claiming the bank broke the terms of the mortgage by foreclosing. Because the couple was no longer in default, the judge ruled in favor of the Westbrooks.
"The determination was, they should have never been foreclosed on in the first place," Pycraft said.
"I just wanted someone to hear my story," Jennifer Westbrook said. "They believed in me. They said, 'You guys were wronged. They shouldn't have done that to you.' We fought and we won."
The judge ruled the bank couldn't charge the Westbrooks, interest, penalties, fees or any other charges during the two-year period it was in litigation. The couple had to resume making normal mortgage payments on Nov. 1.

Since the Kansas Lottery's start up in November 1987, through
June 30, 2018, Lottery ticket sales have produced nearly $1.8
billion in revenues transferred to the State of Kansas. In that
same time period, nerarly $3.3 billion worth of prizes have been
paid to players, and retailers have earned more than $340 million
in commissions.
The Lottery's Fiscal Year 2018, which ended June 30, 2018,
produced nearly $269 million in sales and more than $74.7 million
transferred to the state.
The Kansas Lottery Act requires that a minimum of 45 percent of
total sales be paid back to the players through the prize fund. In
Fiscal Year 2018 (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018), the Kansas
Lottery paid out 58.2 percent in prizes. The State Gaming Revenues
Fund received 27.5 percent of ticket sales; cost of sales was 3.6

and instant ticket printing); 5.8 percent was paid to Lottery
retailers for commissions and bonuses; and 4.9 percent covered
administrative expenses (salaries, advertising, depreciation,
professional services and other administrative expenses.)
The State Gaming Revenues Fund (SGRF) is funded
through monthly transfers from the Kansas Lottery. Transfers are
made from the Gaming Fund to funds dedicated to economic
development initiatives, prison construction and maintenance
projects, local juvenile detention facilities, problem gambling
assistance, and the State General Fund.
The first $50 million is divided by a formula which first
transfers $80,000 to the Problem Gambling and Addictions Grant
Fund. Then 85 percent of the balance is transferred to the Economic
Development Initiatives Fund, 10 percent to the Correctional
Institutions Building Fund, and 5 percent to the Juvenile Detention
Facilities Fund. Any receipts in excess of $50 million must be
transferred to the State General Fund.

Aidan Gillen Gossip
Aidan Gillen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Littlefinger poses!
And a now moment to geek out over Game Of Thrones.... Littlefinger - aka Aidan Gillen - was at the Irish premiere of Shadow Dancer. Yes he's Irish. Which means Duana likes him even more now. I like him even more because he can work a red carpet. Look at our Littlefinger with his head tilted just so, lowered for the most flattering angle, and one foot slightly ahead of the other.

charcoalpixel necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
I need 2 markers with different colors that will be used to display fuel prices. One is for gas stations with bad fuel quality and the other for good ones. I need an idea on how to make the marker containing the lowest price stand out. A loading image matching the website's palete is also needed; it is displayed on the center of the page while the markers are loaded.
We provide localized prices for several businesses. We need markers designed to display gas prices, and also a loading image.
FYI: A marker is an icon used to mark a spot on the map.
logo: http://www.box.net/shared/pymyabrti9
website's main colors: http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/342626
- I need the user to know that what he is seeing are fuel prices, so afuel pump or something of the sort inside the marker is needed.
- Two markers are needed: one for good fuel and another for bad fuel. You can play with some color outside my palete (http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/342626).
- There should be a space on the bottom for the price to be added, it doesn't need a different color, just an empty space.
- I needsmall markers because there are going to be a lot of them layered ontop of the map. They should be small enough to fit a readable price ata 1024x768 resolution.
- I need one of these standard loading image a bit bigger. I couldn't find one big enough (around 150px wide).
- An idea on how to make the marker containing the lowest price stand out. The marker with the lowest price has to stand out. It could be a badge, a different marker, some bar on top of it, a star, I need ideas. If your idea is a marker, then I'd need two extra markers (good fuel + low price and bad fuel + low price)
- You CAN use analogous colors to the website's current color scheme.
- huge markers
- dark markers

All states who supplied men for the Civil War should have web pages such as the Iowa Civil War Project. It is a special project of the IAGenWeb and worth checking if you have an Iowa Civil War ancestor.
The web site contains the six volumes of Civil War Records for Iowa, the full citation being Iowa, Adjutant General Office. Roster and Record of Iowa Soldiers in the War of the Rebellion, Together with Historical Sketches of Volunteer Organization 1861-1866 Des Moines: E.H. English, State Printer, E.D. Chassell, State Binder, 1908-1911.
There is a list of correspondence, dates, sources and notes. You can explore this further for information pertaining to your ancestor or his unit. The web page contains Letters to Headquarters, such as Rock Island Barracks May 1864.
If you know your ancestor's infantry, be sure to check out the Infantry, History and Rosters. There is a separate section for Iowa Cavalry, History and Rosters, as well as Artillery.
The entire web page seems rather complex and time consuming, but help is available at the click of the mouse. Toward the top and before Correspondence/Topic/Title you will see "If you want to search all of these records go to the main Civil War page and utilize the FreeFind search engine there."
Not only can you search the site at the main page, but you can also find instructions for joining the Iowa Civil War mailing list. There are links to gravestone photos, more about the regiments, Civil War prisons, photo album, county data and descendant/researcher lists.
Plan on spending time at this web page, particularly if you have more than one Iowa Civil War soldier in your lineage.

Storm Warning still in effect for Dominica as Isaac moves closerDominica Met Office - Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012 at 7:55 AM
Weather authorities say Tropical Storm Isaac is becoming more organized. Outer bands are affecting portions of the Lesser Antilles.
According to the latest advisory from the Met Office, Dominica remains on a Tropical Storm WARNING.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that Tropical Storm conditions are EXPECTED somewhere within the Warning area, in this case within 24 hours.
At 5am, the center of Tropical Storm ISAAC was located near Latitude 15.5 North, Longitude 57.3 West or about 270 miles east of Dominica. ISAAC is moving toward the west near 18 mph and this general motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of ISAAC is expected to pass near Dominica/Guadeloupe later today or early tonight.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours and ISAAC could become a hurricane by Thursday. Sustained winds of 40 – 50 mph with higher gusts are likely to affect Dominica as the center of the system passes close to the island later today.
Rainfall totals of 4 – 8 inches are possible across the island with even higher amounts possible over mountainous areas. Some flash flooding is likely and residents in low lying areas are advised to take the necessary precautions.
Sea conditions are expected to be about 14 feet.
Residents are asked to continue to monitor the movement of Isaac closely and make all final arrangements and to stay away from areas prone to landslides and flash flooding.
Residents along the coastline should also be mindful of possible high sea swells.

I don't live in Dominica, but dealt with David and Allen. Stop complaining about the PM's decision. Better safe than sorry. Blessings.

how ungrateful…i am sure is Clear Harbor computer you using to post your comment. all you does come in all kinda weather to fill out application forms, take tests and interviews..and is the same all u that ready to stay home and go early. cha man! all u know the nature of the job already get real. shame on you, is the same devil money that paying you every fortnight and providing you with internet service for you to post your silly comment
You are working for an American company, there is no hurricane in America so the work must go on. Your manager said that everyone is not compelled to work. They just need to keep the company up and running. You are provided transportation and food. You all are ungrateful and lack understanding for the company you work. They should let you all go at all you home. A whole day, no rain, no wind, nothing but you complaining. ungrateful.
how ungrateful…i am sure you used Clear Harbor's computer in their cafe to post your comment. all you coming under all kinda weather to fill out applications, do test and interviews and yet all you first to ask to go home. cha man! we all know the nature of this business, so get real
we must all come 2gether and hope and pray dat God guide us out of d storm.
So are you implying the places that gets hit by a storm that the residents are not God's children. I always find these remarks funny during these times. When there is no storm, we party like the devil. Every weekend is a fete par la and during these times we always remember it's time to pray. Hmm! it's ok to pray but God is not a God of our convenience, He is not a spare tire.

You do not even know what you are talking about. You have a very rare hatred for the Pm Skerrit and so does not even recognize or appreciate that PM Skerrit's voice have been heard on Q95 all along. If you doubt me then ask Matt or Lennox. They have always broadcast PM Skerrit's voice on Q, albeit always in a negative way. In fact just before he called and immediately thereafter, the norm continued. So get real.
May the Almighty God continue to protect His creation and His children from these evil phenomenons. May He hide them and keep them beneath the shadow of His wings from the evil one who comes to "steal, kill and destroy!"
God bless Dominica,the Caribbean and the rest of the world!!!
I would say to the people of D'ICA listening to folks like Mr.Pascal and others in the disaster office instead of those who dont have the basic insight,so what happen if things changed tomorrow will the PM shut down the Island again advising the people to continue monitoring the weather is the best advise.
I dont understand the people of Dominica they just dont think before speaking out Mr.Pascal reported after staying up for hours to bring us informed and all we see is that he didnt do a good job and another thing some of the questions the people are calling about should be directed to the disaster officer what folks should be doing is the be on alert and prepear themselves instead of being to ignorant with their comments.
If they want something to talk about ask themselves why did the PM speak on only one radio station and will he shut down the Island tomorrow. Storms and Huricans are very serious matter so people stop the negative attitude.
To all the quasi-weather morons out there who think they could do better tham my bro! Go and study meteorology and weahter forecasting then I will have a conversation with you all. Fitzroy great job as usual!! Dominicans are famous for only criticizing. Do your thing Bro!!
Lord, you have been spearing us through the passage of these storms, I pray you continue to protect Dominica from the ravages of Tropical Storm Isaac. Help us Lord. Lets continue to pray for our blessed country.
It is a shame that since after the floodings of last year only communities of Mahaut, St Joseph, Massacre and Canefield are being mentioned as affected areas. Coulibistrie and more specifically the Lagoon Bay area was badly flooded. Reports were made to the village council and Government agencies of the raising of the ravine bed between the areas of Silson Laudat and Derrick Jeffry which renders the area more subseptible flooding and to date nothing has been done. The residence in the area are now facing a storm with a raised ravine bed. Only God knows what will happen today. There was enough time for the state to respond. At least Silson Laudat is a strong labourite and this should have motivated governments attention to this matter. But I suppose the constituency is a UWP stronghold, hence the neglect.

My biggest accomplishments in Minecraft so far have been building my dream home (complete with fireplace, library, greenhouse, and swimming pool) and a five-way track switcher that I definitely did not copy off a Youtube video. Redditor AllUpInHyuh, on the other hand, created what he or she is calling "a working neuron."
An Imgur gallery is accompanied by snippets of text like the following:
The box on the left represents the extracellular concentration of sodium (initially high). Stacks will be drawn out and "diffuse" into the intracellular chest.
Gold pressure plate can be thought of as a binding site for neurotransmitters. As the number of sprites released from dropper grows, the signal from plate increases. The quantity of items in chest determines the threshold for stimulation.
I have no idea what any of that means, but given that the discussion in the comments turned almost immediately to this project's hypothetical applications toward creating artificial intelligence, I think we can conclude that it's pretty serious. After all, according to this sciencey-looking page, a human brain contains roughly 100 billion neurons. That seems doable, right?
Just made a working neuron in a video game. thought this transcended r/minecraft

Hostages Escape Terrorists
ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — An Algerian security official says at least 20 hostages being held by Islamist militants at a natural gas plant in the Sahara desert have escaped. The official says Americans and Europeans were among those who got away. The militants had claimed to be holding 41 hostages. They say the attack was retaliation for France's military operation against al-Qaida-linked rebels in neighboring Mali.

Roosters, famously, crow in the early morn -- but scientists don't fully understand why they unleash their voices when they do.
After all, roosters have also been known to make a racket when other animals or birds are about, when a car starts, or when lights turn on in the middle of the night. So do they crow because they see the morning light, or because they hear other roosters? Or do they have some kind of internal body clock that lets them know that's it's time to unleash their peals?
Animal physiology researchers Tsuyoshi Shimmura and Takashi Yoshimura of Nagoya University in Japan decided to try to find out.
The scientists put three different groups of four roosters in light- and sound-tight rooms, recording their "cock-a-doodle-doo" -ing -- or "ko-ke-kok-koh" -ing, as the Japanese would say -- with sound recorders and video cameras.
When the roosters were subjected to cycles of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dim light, the birds crowed about two hours before the lights came on. In conditions kept constantly dim, the roosters also continued to vocalize early in the "morning," suggesting that their internal body clocks, or circadian rhythms, were involved in timing their crows at dawn.

The Wisconsin Badgers ended their 2013 season with a tough 34-24 loss in the Capital One bowl to the South Carolina Gamecocks on New Years Day. For the first time in four years, the Badgers did not finish the season as the Big Ten champion with a trip to the Rose Bowl, but the Capital One Bowl is still considered to be the best non-BCS Bowl.
The scoring got started when late in the first quarter, Bruce Ellington caught a 39 yard touchdown pass from Conner Shaw to give South Carolina the early 7-0 lead. The Badgers answered right back early in the second quarter when Sam Amerson caught a 1 yard touchdown pass from Joel Stave to tie the game at 7-7. With under seven minutes left in the second quarter, Conner Shaw found Bruce Ellington through the air again, this time from 9 yards out to give the Gamecocks a 13-7 lead. In the final seconds of the second quarter, Jeff Duckworth caught a 3 yard touchdown pass from Stave to give the Badgers a 14-13 halftime lead.
After a Jack Russell field goal on the Badgers opening possession of the second half,
Carolina took momentum and never looked back. With
just over three minutes left in the third quarter, Bruce Ellington caught his
third touchdown pass, this time from 29 yards out, to give South Carolina the
20-17 lead. On South Carolina's first possession of the fourth quarter, Conner
Shaw threw his fourth touchdown pass of the game, this time to Jeff Adams, to
give South Carolina the 27-17 lead. After Kenzel Doe returned the following
kickoff 91 yards to cut the South Carolina lead to 27-24, South Carolina went
on a long drive that resulted in a 1 yard touchdown run by Conner Shaw to give
South Carolina the 34-24 lead.
Stave got injured so Curt Phillips had to come in and finish the game for him(by the way he played even worse than Stave did). Yes Stave did throw a couple of touchdown passes in this game, but he still looked awful once again. As I said before the bowl, it might be time for
to find another quarterback in 2014. Wisconsin
