Hey, they're still making "Child of the Corn" movies? Who knew! Well here's the new trailer for "Children of the Corn: Genesis" and from the looks of things the filmmakers have fallen on hard times because there appears to be only 4 or 5 children and hardly any corn. I imagine we're only 1 or 2 movies away from "Children of the Government Cheese".
Just to keep the good times rolling here's a couple new stills from "Six Degrees of Hell". I'm not going to bother explaining the plot because I don't think there is one but it stars none other than Mr. Corey Feldman along side Nicole Cinaglia. I mention the second only because I Googled her and while I didn't recognize any of her movies I did recognize the fact that she's dressed like a street walker in half the images she has online. So that's some news, right?
And speaking of mom jeans... I'm sure we were just talking about mom jeans... here's a new trailer for the new Milla Jovovich flick titled "Faces in the Crowd", which drops this October. In the movie Jovo (I just made that up) plays a woman who's attacked by a serial killer and wakes up to find she's suffering from "Face Blindness". I'm not even making that up. They say it right in the trailer. Watch it. I'm pretty sure it's a real thing.
And to top of the worst news day in history it's been confirmed that Jean-Claude Van Damme will star along side his daughter in a new sci-fi thriller that's cleverly titled "UFO". If you couldn't have guessed the movie focuses on a group of friends and what happens when UFO's hover above their hometown. I assume the secret to the alien's weakness will somehow focus on being able to do a full split and wearing tight jeans.

| All in a Day's Wurmple
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
All in a Day's Wurmple (Japanese: ダブルバトルとダブルでケムッソ!? Double Battle & Double Kemusso!?) is the 14th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 288th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 27, 2003 and in the United States on January 3, 2004.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
As the gang continues to make their way towards Rustboro City, May spots a Wurmple that she's dying to catch—but she's not the only one with her eye on the cute little bug Pokémon. Jessie wants it, too. May ventures off on her own to catch her Wurmple, but Team Rocket follows and gives her trouble. Luckily, she gets some help from a trainer named Franklin. Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu are practicing Pikachu's Iron Tail attack. A trainer named Franklin sees them practicing and challenges them to a battle. Franklin teaches Ash about double battles, which are common in the Hoenn region. With help from her new friend Franklin, May catches the Wurmple she wanted. When she and Franklin go to meet up with the gang, everyone is really surprised. The Franklins are actually identical twins—Forrest and Forrester Franklin! All is not lost for Team Rocket, however. Jessie manages to snag a Wurmple of her own before Team Rocket blasts off at the end of the episode.
The episode opens with the group walking along a path through the forest when suddenly a Wurmple drops down in front of May, frightening her. Ash scans it on his Pokédex and Max comments that it can evolve into Beautifly. May decides to catch it and runs off. The others then chase after her. The group catch up to May and then discuss May's plans. Brock then suggests that they stop for lunch, but May runs off alone to catch a Wurmple. In the bushes nearby Team Rocket are listening in, and decide that they will catch a bunch of Wurmple, and send one to the Boss, using the others to win all the Pokémon Contests.
While walking through the forest, May comes across a group of Bellossom dancing. While she watches them, Team Rocket are looking for Wurmple nearby. James pushes gently on a tree to see if there are any Pokémon hiding in it, but Jessie tells him to do it properly, giving the tree a big kick. A Weedle falls out, so Jessie gives it another kick, making a Kakuna fall out. While Jessie gives the tree repeated kicks, James and Meowth ponder their find, commenting that Weedle evolves into Kakuna. They realize that Kakuna evolves into Beedrill just as they are surrounded by a swarm of angry Beedrill. May hears their screams and looks around to see Team Rocket running towards her. They tell her to run as they race past. She then notices the swarm and takes off. They escape when they fall down a small bank and the Beedrill fly straight past.
Team Rocket then perform their motto, but May notices a Wurmple and runs off before they can finish the first line, angering them. Both groups run after the Wurmple, and May sends out her Torchic, while Jessie sends out her Seviper. The two groups argue over who gets to catch Wurmple, until Jessie makes James send out his Cacnea. Both Pokémon gang up on Torchic, but then a Heracross comes out of nowhere and stops them in their tracks. The Heracross's Trainer approaches and comments that two on one isn't fair. Team Rocket retaliate by ordering both of their Pokémon to attack Heracross, but he orders it to use Fury Attack, blasting them off. The Trainer then introduces himself as Franklin and offers to help May catch a Wurmple, to which she agrees. Brock places a pot of stew over a fire to cook while Ash and Pikachu practice Iron Tail. A Trainer then approaches, and suggests they battle, also introducing himself as Franklin. While the other Franklin and May climb a rocky cliff, Franklin explains Double Battles to Ash. He says that they have been an accepted form of battling in Hoenn for as long as he could remember. Ash accepts the challenge.
After Brock calls out the rules for their battle, Franklin sends out Yanma and Ariados and Ash sends out Treecko to join Pikachu. Both sides stare at each other until Brock starts the battle. Ariados uses String Shot, which is dodged, and then Yanma uses Sonic Boom. Ash tells Treecko and Pikachu to dodge, but as Pikachu dodges it is snared by String Shot. Ash tells Treecko to help Pikachu out, getting it out of the way just in time. Ariados and Yanma use Night Shade and Swift respectively, and both Ash's Pokémon dodge repeated attacks before Pikachu Thunderbolts Yanma. However, as it lands from the attack, it is struck with a direct hit from Night Shade, but Treecko reduces the damage by bumping Pikachu out of the attack. Ash then tells Treecko to use Quick Attack, forcing Franklin to focus his attacks on Treecko. Treecko dodges, allowing Pikachu to use Iron Tail on Yanma. Pikachu then tries to use it on Ariados, but it fails, and Pikachu is knocked away by String Shot. Treecko then uses Pound on Ariados, sending it flying into Yanma, who was still recovering from Iron Tail. Both Ariados and Yanma faint, causing Brock to declare Ash the winner. Franklin and Ash both check that their Pokémon are O.K., and congratulate them for the battle. Brock offers Franklin some stew.
May and the other Franklin are still looking for a Wurmple, when May brings back some Pecha Berries. Franklin then spots a Wurmple, so May sends out Torchic, which attacks Wurmple, and then May throws a Poké Ball at it, however Wurmple breaks out of the Poké Ball. Franklin suggests that Ember would be a good attack to use so, after an Ember from Torchic, May catches Wurmple. However, when she celebrates, Team Rocket use a grabber to snatch it from her hand. Team Rocket do their motto and then retrieve the Ball from the grabber. Franklin then sends out Heracross, which uses Horn Attack to pop their balloon, making Jessie drop the Ball. May runs after it and catches it, before Team Rocket send out their Pokémon again. Seviper starts to use Poison Tail, and Cacnea prepares to use Pin Missile. May tells Torchic to counter it with Ember, but Cacnea dodges and hits Torchic with Pin Missile. Heracross stops the Poison Tail by catching it and Franklin tells May to attack with both Torchic and Wurmple at the same time. May sends out Wurmple, but then realizes she doesn't know what moves it can use. Franklin suggests String Shot, which then completely immobilizes both of Team Rocket's Pokémon. Torchic's Ember then scores a direct hit, before Heracross's Megahorn sends them blasting off.
May runs up to the group to show them her new Wurmple, and notices that there are two Franklins. The Franklin that was with Ash's group introduces himself as Forrester Franklin, and his twin, who was with May, introduces himself as Forrest Franklin. Forrest reveals that he has decided to travel with his Pokémon, and then Brock suggests it is lunchtime. May sends out her Pokémon so that they can eat as well, but Wurmple eats all of the Pokémon food and Brock's stew, before walking over to May and falling asleep. Team Rocket are hanging onto a tree branch on the side of a cliff. They start arguing, but stop when Meowth notices a Wurmple at the end of the branch. Jessie throws a Poké Ball and catches it, but as she retrieves the Ball, Wobbuffet pops out of its Ball, causing the branch to break from the weight, sending them plummeting.

The highest spiritual authority of the Orthodox Church of the World, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, has praised participants of an IUCN Workshop on the Protection of Sacred Lands being held in Ouranoupolis, Greece.
Patriarch Bartholomew Salutes sent a message of congratulation and encouragement to the workshop, organized by the IUCN Task Force on Cultural and Spiritual Values of Protected Areas.
"It is with great interest that we learned of the workshop you are organizing in the framework of IUCN - The World Conservation Union," he said. "Its purpose is very close to our interests. The Ecumenical Patriarchate has been teaching a responsible role of human beings towards Creation as its stewards and protectors".
The workshop is taking place near Mount Athos, a World Heritage Site and one of the most renowned cultural and natural places on Earth, where spiritual and natural values have worked together for many centuries to model a unique landscape with high biodiversity and cultural values.
Father Gregorios, of the Mount Athos monastic community, said: "The Creator does not allow people to worship the Creation on the one hand and use it unsustainably on the other hand. The Monastic Community of Mount Athos, having adopted this philosophy, avoids every kind of environmental abuse and utilizes only the part of the natural resources that is strictly necessary".
IUCN, through the Task Force on Cultural and Spiritual Values of Protected Areas of the World Commission on Protected Areas, works to support the protection of sacred sites of indigenous and traditional peoples, as well of sacred and holy lands of religious and faith groups of the world. For this purpose, the Task Force created programmes such as The Delos Initiative, a programme named after an island with important cultural and spiritual values for the Greek civilization.
Sacred sites and holy lands make a very important contribution to the conservation of nature. Exact numbers are not known because they don't figure in any inventory, don't make part of protected area networks and in many cases don't belong to cultural heritage areas. It is believed, however, that hundreds of thousands of such and places exist on the planet, safeguarding very often critical ecosystems and securing key ecological functions. They are often at the centre of cultural values and institutions of communities and peoples.
Rob Wild, Leader of the IUCN Task Force on Cultural and Spiritual Values of Protected Areas, said: "We as part of the conservation community highly appreciate the important contribution that faith communities are making to the planet through their caring for lands and places they deem holy. We are also concerned, however, that some communities are facing difficult conditions to continue with their stewardship of nature. We dedicate our efforts to support the improvement of management of their sacred and holy lands, and we promote better recognition of their significance by the conservation community, government authorities and intergovernmental bodies."
At the meeting, experiences from Mount Athos, Jabal Lâ'lam în Morocco, the San Francisco Peaks of California, Mani San Mount in Korea, Solovetsky Islands of Russia, Foreste Casentinesi of Italy, Dhimurru in northern Australia, Poblet in Catalonia, Spain, and the Chryssopigi Monastery in Crete, Greece, are examined. Based on such experiences, the group discusses options to strengthen protection of such areas and other similar places, and explores what role IUCN and the conservation community can play.
"IUCN has become a key player in the effort to protect sacred sites and holy lands of the planet", said Gonzalo Oviedo, IUCN Senior Adviser on Social Policy, facilitator of IUCN's actions in this area. "We run projects in the field with custodians of sacred places, we support them at the policy level, we advocate for their recognition and support, we promote better understanding of their values", he added. "From the ground up, working from place to place, we are building bridges with custodians of sacred lands of indigenous and traditional peoples as well as of religious and monastic communities. Alliances between many such groups and conservation are based on strong common values and a shared commitment for the planet".
The workshop is hosted by Med-INA, the Mediterranean Institute for Nature and Anthropos, based in Athens. Thymio Papayannis, Med-INA director, hopes that the workshop will prompt increased commitment by a range of actors in Greece and throughout the world.
"The IUCN World Conservation Congress, to be held in Barcelona in October 2008, is a great opportunity for us to bring to the attention of the international conservation community the values and contributions of the sacred and holy lands, and the need to support spiritual and faith communities in their management", he said. "We will bring custodians of such places to communicate to the Congress their hopes, expectations and commitments."

Insufficient meat content, by-products, low quality grains and other controversial filler.
The primary ingredient in the food is a low quality grain. Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food, yet it is the primary grain in this food.
The next ingredient in this food is by-products. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
Sorghum is a carbohydrate source low in digestibility. We consider it primarily filler.
Fish meal, fourth on the ingredient list, is the sole named meat product in the food. We note that the manufacturer does not claim to use ethoxyquin-free sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic). There is a further meat meal ingredient 7th on the ingredient list, but this is a bit too far down to make up an appreciable portion of the food. There is a further named meat product 5th on the ingredient list, but since this is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and this ingredient will weigh only about 20% of its wet weight once water is removed (as it must be to make kibble) it is unlikely that this is the true first ingredient in the food and would be more accurately placed much further down the list and is not an appreciable portion of the food.
Barley is a decent quality grain but beet pulp is further filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

I totally agree! Sometimes we say no WAY too much, and it's time for a yes now and then! Loved that movie!ReplyDelete
So, Mandy, am I the best writer you've ever known or read or ever will read?ReplyDelete
I have chosen to be open minded and live in the moment, which gives me the opportunity to say yes all the time. Admittedly it is hard to keep it up, but just by thinking yes first, even if I don't necessarily follow through, I find myself in a world of really positive energy.ReplyDelete
Plus it's an excuse to have one more at the pub with friends, see what is around the next bend during a long hike, and try things that you normally wouldn't do in a million years.
I'm sorry about your friend.
I, too, am sorry about your friend. I wonder, though . . . it's easy to somehow punish ourselves for the failures we might believe we made in our relationships, but I think my ultimate goal is to truly be able to look back and say that, in whatever ways I might not have fulfilled that person's need, I did the absolute best that I could. Does that makes sense?ReplyDelete
I've started saying yes to the good hearted homeless vet when I see him outside our grocery store. I'm slowly making up for saying no. It does a soul good.ReplyDelete
And this was a beautifully written post. Thank you for words.
I was just talking about this today. There is much to much saying no in my general vicinity.ReplyDelete
And no... it isn't just about sex... gutter mind.
Mandy, I think you just wrote it.ReplyDelete
I've seen that movie too and was surprised that I actually got something out of a ...Jim Carrey movie...but it was kind of like Evan Almighty to me. The meaning was definitely there.
I'm sorry about your friend.
I'm so sorry you lost a friend. But what a great perspective to take in the wake of your loss.ReplyDelete
I have a hard time saying no to people and sometimes my over-yes-ing sends me right over the edge. Gotta find that balance...particularly when it's so easy to give more time to things like Facebook than face-to-face time with the people I care about.
great post. I think we're all so exhausted and overworked we forget to say yes to the things that are good for us and for others.ReplyDelete
I soooo know what you mean about being in survival mode for so long. I too am trying to live a little. I am sorry about your friend. *Hugs without touching you*ReplyDelete
Yes, I agree. Saying yes opens up so many possibilities.ReplyDelete
Yessiree! It's a good idea. Wonder how different each of our lives would be if we said yes instead of no. Then again, "no" is not a bad word. Sometimes it takes more courage to say "no" than it does "yes". I like your blog and I signed up to follow. See you again soon. Stop by my place sometime. http://www.boomerpie.com/ReplyDelete

"The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure." (Joseph Campbell)
I think the best thing to do is just treat people with acceptance , smile at someone even if they don't smile back,give back in just being kind, and not continuing to let that inner voice tell you that you should feel guilty over a friends passing, it just happens,But we still do feel the regret,don't we? It means you have a kind heart to feel sad. We need more love in this world for sure. And hell, people die at all ages,it does not mean life is passing by that quick, a lot of laughter and good times await you,don't worry. :)be gentle to yourself.ReplyDelete
i don't know the situation, nor would i presume to know anything - but as a friend that has been neglected and a friend that has neglected - i always think that it's never too late for those that come from a place of love.ReplyDelete
it is so easy to get caught up in survival mode or just life in general until i never realize where my time went.
i think of that paragraph by erma bombeck and say to myself to burn the rose candle, say yes more, no more and not wait until the exact right time. the only time is now.
Saying yes to the ride, whatever the ride might be... but still saying no to spiders...ReplyDelete
I am sorry for your lost Mandy.
You are so right that it's the yeses we remember more than the nos.ReplyDelete
My thoughts are with you and all the others who loved your friend who left life too early.ReplyDelete
I absolutely agree with you. Unless it is detrimental to my mental, physical or emotional well-being I say yes as much as possible. If I can't be certain, I promise to do my best to join in. And I do. It's not just words.
The only time I say no is if I am already committed or if I feel it will be bad for me in some way. That said, I'll still show up to watch say...trick skateboarding. I might feel it's dangerous for myself but I'm keen to cheer on those who love what they love.
Yes is a good word.
Oh yeah,fine example I was of loving people today blasting my horn at someone driving 10 miles under the speed limit,like blasted my horn,yelling obscenities (inside my car,not out the window) still I was self embarrassed after thinking "Why get pissed at people for dumb shit?" ? I was not showing much kindness.Who am I to preach about how to treat people with kindness when I am blasting my horn like a madman for nothing reallyReplyDelete
You thought you couldn't do your friend justice by writing a post, but I think you succeeded brilliantly with this one. I didn't know her but I have a feeling she'd be proud of your new outlook. Say yes to life, Mandy.ReplyDelete
I AM sorry to hear about your friend. What you wrote about is true... life doesn't give us any guarantees. Best to do what we can and enjoy as much as possible.And tell people good things when we get the chance.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 24, 2010 at 10:15 AM
I'm sorry your friend passed away. That's heart breaking.ReplyDelete
I know that I say "no" way too often. I have the best excuses, but I will I explain that to myself when my life comes towards its end?
- AnonymousFebruary 24, 2010 at 10:34 AM
I should really start rereading comments before i post them. that should read "how will i explain to myself....."ReplyDelete
What a beautiful blog that was. I had tears in my eyes at the end. Of course, by the time I caught up to the blog about pregnant women in pantyhose, I was laughing my ass off.ReplyDelete
xoxoxo much love

You make a good point, I too have a problem saying yes. Usually its because I would rather stay home, have a drink and surf the net than go anywhere. I'm tired. I work a lot. But I will look back someday and realize that I did a whole lot of nothing with my free time. I need to change that.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry for your loss.ReplyDelete
This is an excellent post and I'm sure your friend would be more than proud of these words and the thought and intention behind them.
Now, does this mean we can touch you? *snort*
So young at 40...ReplyDelete
Thank you for your message.

We have taken the services of continental twice to replace the water heater in our two Houses. Edmundo is very helpful. We asked Edmundo to replace heater on Saturday night at 8pm and next day 9am Sunday he sent someone to replace the heater. Everything was back online by 1pm.
Edmundo and Juan Carlos were outstanding. They were prompt quick and the service was great! They replaced old piping under my kitchen sink. Highly recommended. 5 Stars!
I reached out to Continental this past Saturday morning because I had a leaking steam boiler return line and was in a bit of a jam due to the sub par plumber that was assigned to my service request by American Home Shield. Continental came through like a champ! When they arrived they assessed the damage, gave me a quote and told me how long the job would take. I hired them on the spot. They were done within the time frame given and the guys that came out were super friendly and clean. They did a fantastic job all around. So much so that I plan on having them come back next month to do some additional work for me! I would highly recommend them for any heating and/or plumbing work needed. They're responsive, professional and competitively priced.
Amazing and Prompt Service! I called to have a leaky pipe replaced. The job was completed the same day. The two people I spoke with on the phone and the two repairmen were very professional! I highly recommend this great, professional and affordable service!
Great for landlords, good pricing. Schedule confirmation and payments done online. They show up on time which is the most important. I have gotten multiple properties worked on by Edmundo and Team.
Excellent and quick service.
Job well done as usual. We have hired Continental Plumbing a couple of times when he needed a plumber. They are professional and their price is reasonable. We will hire them again if needed. Thanks.
Had a very good experience with this company. They are apparently local to me and I never knew. Their main line wasn't working in the moment but the woman working called me from her personal line to schedule me. They were very prompt with what time they said and to the price quoted over the phone. Processed payment via credit card over the phone when done. Overall would definitely use them again and recommend them for those in the area looking.
They keep time and do an excellent job.
They came on time, and completed the work carefully. Also tighten a loose pipe as an extra work. Well done!
I had a gas leak in my kitchen and they came very quickly and replaced the pipes. They were professional and did great quality work, even the PSE&G guys complimented on their work.
Edmundo and his team were great! I called about getting a long overdue new hot water heater for my apartment and they were willing to do it the next morning. The team came on a Saturday morning which was really helpful with my work schedule and they were very courteous and professional. The price was right in the range that I expected with no hidden fees and everything turned out great! I would definitely call them again for other plumbing needs as it's not always easy to get people to come to Hoboken or do work at an apartment.
I had a gas leak, and PSE&G was called, and subsequently turned off the gas. Our furnaces operate on gas, so we had no heat. With the cold weather, there was a concern about freezing pipes, so Continental Plumbing and Heating was contacted. They responded immediately to the call, and dispatched two very nice and competent employees. After obtaining the necessary plumbing parts, they made the necessary repairs, and were very thorough by pressure testing the system to ensure that there were no other gas leaks. I will definitely use them for any future plumbing problems.
I want to thank you for you prompt and professional job. Patricio and assistant were great. Definitely use your services again and will recommend you.
Very professional, reliable, stand behind their work. Utilized their plumbing services multiple times over a month's period and will call again. I appreciated the time Carlos took to explain the situation (every time!) and my options. I appreciated them coming up with creative solutions for bad situations left behind by previous plumber.
I needed to replace a broken radiator so I contacted a few plumbing companies. From the first moment I contacted Continental Plumbing and Heating, Inc. it was a positive experience. From getting a quote to the date of installation the turnaround time was incredibly fast. I was surprised to see when the plumbers arrived to start work they laid out a large covering to protect my floors. The guys were professional and very friendly. The job was done as promised and at the price quoted. Through the entire process, even with many many questions, I felt like my business mattered. Excellent work and customer service.
In 2016, worked on a first floor bathroom leak into the basement for us. Very high quality of work. Did not rush the job and took the appropriate time crossing all the t's and dotting the i's. Honest and competitive quote. Highly recommended. Did some more work for us in summer 2018. Different plumbing jobs throughout the house. Once again, nice job, customer service and competitive pricing true to quote. Prior job from 2016 holding up perfectly as well.
Contacted the company as a referral from my realtor on weekend regarding leaking water heater. They were able to come out and get the job done efficiently on Tuesday. This is very nice considering all the hassle behind the scene as my old water heater was under warranty and they had to contact the manufacturer for replacement. Price is very reasonable. They kept the site neat during the work and also cleaned up the floor afterwards. The staffs are very friendly and answer all questions with patience. They also have excellent time management. They came on time as promised. After encountering many irresponsible scammer for repair and replacement of home appliances, I really appreciate people that do their job right. I would definitely keep using this company for what they cover. Recommending them to all.
Polite and friendly service from Continental Plumbers. Definitely hire them again.
The technicians are really good at their Job. They're extremely respectful and very neat. The cleaned up very well after the work. I will recommend them and i will use them every single time for plumbing and heating services.
They're willing to work the price with you, best services I ever worked with
Came over during an emergency. Honestly the best customer service and great price. Called several other plumbers including roto rooter and they couldn't send someone until 12 Pm the next day even though I told them my basement is actively flooding and I just need someone to come shut off the main water. Will do business exclusively with this company from now on.
I would highly recommend Continental Plumbing. They did a main water line service replacement, and was completely satisfactory. They worked with professionalism, very courteous, and were punctual. The quality of work was phenomenal. They didn't procrastinate and I was extremely pleased with the service. They seemed to really know what they were doing.
Over the past two years Continental Plumbing and Heating has replaced our hot water heater, repaired or replaced malfunctioning hardware in our kitchen and bathrooms and repaired the plumbing elements of our gas furnace. Each time Elmundo assessed the concern carefully and then described what needed to be done to correct the issue, providing a clear quote (including the cost of parts) for the work to be done. Continental Plumbing and heating is a dependable and committed to service its customers honestly and reliably. Elmundo and his workers will ensure that the job is completed to the satisfaction of the client. We highly recommend.
Basement Renovation Every construction project is a challenge, We were blessed to find out Continental Plumbing and heating, Great experience they are professional, good presentation, efficient, and clean the working place, We love them We highly recommend to Our relatives and friends. Thank you, Great Company
Bathroom renovation We were planing to renovate our 2nd floor, that was a challenge for us, thanks to friend of us recommended to continental plumbing and heating for our bathroom plumbing Work, it was a great experience, satisface our expeectation. Thank you
Great company, great employees and great service! Been a client of theirs for over 10 years. They have always done an outstanding job. In the past 2 years they remodeled our kitchen, master bath, 2 guest bathrooms and laundry room. I think the pictures speak for themselves on the outstanding job...
Well, all I have to say is that Edmundo and his crew have always offered me an outstanding service. Just last week, I had a gas leak in my rental property and PSEG had to turn the gas off. Continental's guys came and did some tests, decided on the course of action necessary to comply with the violation changing a whole pipe and fixing other fixtures. In less than 48 hours gas supply was back on and my tenants happy again. Thank you Edmundo for your efficiency and promptness!
Great responsive time
Very happy with the work done in my house. They were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule and did an outstanding job. Technicians were very knowledgeable. They arrived as scheduled which made the entire experience that much better. Totally recommend this company.
Great people great contractors straight to the point
Great contractors they come on a timely manner a little bit expensive however they'll work with you . I would definitely use them again in the future .
Professional, timely and clean service
Unlike other local plumbers I called that gave me a 4 hour arrival window, these guys let me schedule exact times. This was a huge advantage since I didn't have to take time off work. Each time they did a different job for me, they arrived in time, gave good quotes, and were very clean. They resolved a low water pressure issue in the home and created a custom water filter. They are quick to follow up and see if everything went well and take credit card payments on the phone. I'll definitely use them again.
Most dependable company around
We have been using the Continental team for a variety of needs (plumping, construction, tile installation, etc.) for several years and they have always done an outstanding job and is one of the most dependable companies around. Over the past several years anytime I needed a rush service, the continental team was there to help out. Great service and a great team!
Always a good experience
My husband and I bought a fixer upper row house in downtown Jersey City about three years ago. Over the last three years, we have had a LOT of experience with plumbers, carpenters, electricians, constructions workers, brick masons... and the list goes on. And a lot of those experiences have been bad. Edmundo and his crew at Continental Plumbing & Heating, Inc. stand out as one of the few positive experiences we have had. I have come to rely on them more and more and I have used them as general contractors as well as plumbers. They are reliable, responsive and always an excellent value. Edmundo takes the time to listen to what I want and if there is a problem it always gets fixed. I would recommend them to anyone and (unfortunately) I really know a lot about whats out there.
The usual high quality service on whatever plumbing needs arise ...
We have used Continental Plumbing, now, a few times for lots of different plumbing needs - from toilet repairs to re-doing the hoses for a new diswaser & ice-maker, to putting in a new hot water heater, and exchanging old faucets for new ones in all of our bathrooms. They work hard, work very clean and never leave a mess. But, mainly, they do all of our plumbing and heating-related jobs with care, confidence, pride,and professionalism. In short, they do great work and charge for their work a fair & reasonable price!
Toilet Repair
Continental Plumbing it has a very good service, the Technician who perform the service at my house was very professional. After He complete the job he clean the working area. I Like the way the job was done and I will recommend it to my friends and relatives

At 56 years old, Thurman is the oldest patient to receive a transplant from the Louisville Vascularized Composite Allograft Program team made up of surgeons and researchers from Jewish Hospital, the Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery, Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center, and the University of Louisville. He is recovering in the intensive care unit at Jewish Hospital.
Joseph Kutz, M.D., partner with Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center and director of the Kleinert Institute, led a team of 24 hand surgeons and two anesthesiologists to perform the hand transplant during a 15 ½ hour procedure.
"It is a team effort," Kutz said. "We worked in two-hour shifts throughout the night. We had a plan and we're very happy as he seems to be doing well."
Kutz said Thurman will likely have his new hand fitted for braces on Friday, February 17, 2012 and begin physical therapy in a couple of days. He will remain under care in Louisville for several months.
"His hand looks good," Kutz said. "Of course, we are a long way from knowing how well it will function, but he is doing well."
Thurman is a self-employed farmer. He injured his right hand in a farming accident in November 2003 when his hand was caught in a combine/auger. His right hand was amputated at the wrist, nine inches below the elbow. He had a low-elbow prosthesis prior to the surgery.
Dr. Kutz, and Michael Marvin, M.D., director of Transplantation at Jewish Hospital and associate professor of Surgery at the University of Louisville are the co-investigators for the innovative procedure.
Rosemary Ouseph, M.D., director of Clinical Transplantation and professor of Medicine for the University of Louisville, manages the patient's immunosuppressive drug therapy, along with Dr. Marvin.
Ouseph said Thurman is being treated with a combination of medications, including
Thymoglobulin, Prograf, Myfortic and steroids.
"Early on, all of the hand transplant patients have had episodes of rejection," said Ouseph. "We will continue to watch for rejection, monitor drug levels and adjust the patient's medications accordingly."
Kutz said the team had been working with Thurman and listed him for a hand transplant about four weeks ago.
"It is because of donor families that we are able to do these surgeries and to give individuals the gift of two, functioning hands," said Jenny Jones, director of education for Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates. If we didn't have our donor families, we wouldn't have any transplantation."
Kentuckians can join the Kentucky Donor Registry online at www.donatelifeky.org. People who live outside of the state of Kentucky can visit www.donatelife.net for state specific donor registry information.
The Louisville Vascularized Composite Allograft Program team pioneered the hand transplant procedure and has been performing hand transplants since 1999, the longest in the United States. LifeGift in Texas, in coordination with the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, arranged the hand donation for the team's eighth patient's hand transplant procedure.
Other hand transplants performed by the Louisville Vascular Composite Allograft Program are:
Matthew Scott – January 24, 1999
Gerald Fisher – February 16, 2001
Dave Savage – November 29, 2006
Dave Armstrong – July 12, 2008
Jan (Erik) Hondusky – November 24, 2008
Richard Edwards – August 24, 2010 (double hand transplant)
Donnie Rickelman – July 10, 2011
Patient and physician information, photography and video are available at www.handtransplant.com.
The hand transplant is sponsored by the Department of Defense, Office of Naval Research and Office of Army Research to further research in the Vascularized Composite Allograft Program.

Karin Laub – 5/9/13
BEIRUT: A nun and activists say rebel fighters have attacked a regime-held, predominantly Christian village, commandeering a mountaintop hotel and shelling the ancient community from there.
The nun, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, says the assault began around dawn Wednesday with a suicide bombing at a regime checkpoint outside the village of Maaloula.
She says she's heard firefights and regime airstrikes. The nun, speaking by phone from a convent in Maaloula, says regime troops are deployed at the village's entrance, while rebels have commandeered the Safir hotel overlooking Maaloula and surrounding caves.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirms the attack and says the rebels are from the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra.

text: The little bit of money you save by investing in a "free" fund is usually more than eaten up by higher fund expense ratios. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist January 23, 2013 Mutual funds charge investors way too much. A $1 billion fund that charges 1% a year — a typical expense ratio — generates $10 million worth of fees. Much of that is pure profit for the fund sponsor.But fund companies aren't the only ones to blame for outrageously high fees. Also contributing are online brokerages, which generally charge funds 0.40% a year to participate in their no-transaction-fee (NTF) programs. See Also: The World's 10 Best Stocks Most funds pass these hidden charges on to you, the investor. But occasionally you can avoid them. Or you can buy lower-cost funds that charge transaction fees (more on this later). Sponsored Content Consider DoubleLine Total Return Bond. The institutional share class (symbol DBLTX), which charges annual fees of 0.49%, is available through most online brokerages if you invest at least $5,000 through your IRA. Or you can buy the Class N shares (DLTNX), which are available in NTF programs, for 0.74% annually. (DoubleLine Total Return Bond is a member of the Kiplinger 25.) Advertisement The catch? If you want to buy the institutional share class, you have to pay the brokerage a transaction fee, ranging from $7 to $75, depending on the brokerage. Consider the transaction fee akin to the shipping charge you incur when you buy something online. The pesky fee may be only $3.99, but it sticks out like a sore thumb. Some people may buy the same item at a higher price to enjoy the "free" shipping. But think about the total cost. If you invest $10,000 in the DoubleLine fund, it'll cost you $49 a year to own the institutional share class. But it'll set you back $74 a year to own the N shares, which are used in no-transaction-fee programs. Assuming you plan to own the fund at least several years, you'll usually do better paying the transaction fee. "We'd like every dollar possible in the institutional share class," says one fund manager, who declined to be quoted by name. "But you need a no-transaction-fee share class to get traction in this business. Investors would rather pay no transaction fee because they don't do the math." Advertisement But it's not that simple. Funds typically impose huge initial minimums on their institutional share classes (funds say they do so at the insistence of the brokerages). If you buy DBLTX in a taxable account, for instance, you'll have to pony up a minimum of $100,000. Most do-it-yourself investors don't have that much to invest in a single bond fund. So most times, investors have no choice but to buy the higher-fee share class. Many no-load funds sell only one share class. These funds still typically pay the online brokerages 0.40% per year to be in the NTF programs. The brokerages insist that the funds charge the same fees to everyone — even if you invest directly with the fund company. Fund sponsors rarely complain about this arrangement because they get to pocket the entire fee. Take FPA Crescent (FPACX), one of my favorite funds (and also a member of the Kiplinger 25). The fund charges 1.18% per year, whether you buy it from a broker through its NTF program or you buy it directly from the fund. If you buy it from a broker, FPA pays the brokerage 0.40% per year, or roughly one-third of the entire expense ratio. Things get even worse when you use a full-service broker. Most full-service brokerages charge funds the same 0.40% that online brokers do. But if a fund sponsor wants to promote its funds to the broker's sales force, the sponsor has to pony up even more to the brokerage. Advertisement "These little numbers add up," says Niels Holch, executive director of the Coalition of Mutual Fund Investors, an advocacy group. He estimates that full-service brokerages pocket more than $7 billion annually from mutual fund fees. What's even worse, the high and varying fees give a full-service broker all kinds of incentives to sell you the fund that will enrich the brokerage the most, rather than you, the investor. Bear in mind that the full-service brokerage revenues mentioned above are for "no-load funds" — that is, funds that assess no sales charge. Funds that levy loads, or sales charges, add another chunk to the profits of full-service brokerages, as well as increased conflicts of interest. Fund officials gripe privately about the fees they pay to online and full-service brokerages. But they rarely complain publicly. The reason: Few people invest directly with funds anymore. Most people go through a brokerage. The funds, increasingly, depend on the brokers to stay in business. Advertisement But you can fight back. Pay the small transaction fee when you can. Or, as more and more investors are doing, choose low-cost exchange-traded index funds. ETFs pay much lower fees to brokerages, and in some cases you can buy ETFs without paying any brokerage commissions. It pays to shop around among online brokers. Some brokers offer institutional share classes of individual funds or fund families with low initial minimums. For instance, you can buy the institutional share class of many Pimco funds with just $1,000 at TDAmeritrade. Many funds refuse to play the brokerages' game. Vanguard, whose funds usually charge investors less than 0.40% annually in total fees, doesn't participate in NTF programs. Some smaller fund companies, such as Longleaf and Dodge & Cox, also stay out of no-fee programs. Morningstar has found in repeated studies that expense ratios are the best predictor of future returns. That makes sense: The less you pay, the more your money works for you. Some good funds charge high expenses. FPA Crescent is my Exhibit A. But you'll do best over the long haul if you keep your overall expenses — not a relatively small brokerage commission — uppermost in mind. Steven T.

Today's new cars are packed with safety features that help protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. But which car safety features should you look for when buying a new auto?
Here are some of the safety feature must-haves you'll want to consider for your next vehicle:
Safety features: standard equipment
Some important safety features are now required on new vehicles. These include front airbags, electronic stability control, safety belts, and the LATCH child safety seat system. Side-curtain airbags, while not required by regulation, have become standard on many new cars in recent years. Review additional safety features at Safercar.gov.
New technologies to consider
Once exclusive to luxury vehicles, crash avoidance technology is now available on many new models. These can include:
- Forward collision warning
These systems use an audible warning to alert drivers when they are coming up too close to a vehicle in front of them. "Systems with autonomous braking also back up warnings with an automatic application to the brakes," says David Zuby, chief research officer for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and its Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). "Our research shows that both help reduce crashes."
- Adaptive headlights
These headlights pivot toward the direction you're traveling and are great for improving visibility around curves. When the HLDI studied adaptive headlights offered on Acura, Mazda, Mercedes, and Volvo models, it discovered that they lowered property damage liability claims by as much as 10%. For added safety, Zuby also recommends HID headlights, adaptive high-beam assist and night view technology.
- Blind spot detection
Sensors serve as second eyes, alerting drivers of objects in their blind spots. Though less research backs up the benefits of blind spot detection, Zuby recommends it. "Whether or not it's effective, when we've talked to vehicle owners with cars equipped with blind spot detection, they universally agree it's a good thing," Zuby says.
Learn which vehicles are equipped with crash avoidance systems.
Additional auto safeguards
When shopping for a new car, review the crash performance of various models provided by the IIHS vehicle safety ratings. And learn more about new auto safety technologies from State Farm®.
Keep in mind that safety features aren't a substitute for safe, defensive driving. If you need to brush up on your skills, consider taking a driver safety class.
Need more incentive? Taking a class may make you eligible for discounts on your auto insurance.

Rock City
We are a church beginning a fun production for children. The program is a drama that takes place in a high-tech "clubhouse" setting and will include upbeat music, hilarious stunts and engaging characters that weekly teach kids virtues. Three of the main concepts are wisdom, faith and friendship.
The feel we are looking for is more of a "Rock on" type feel as opposed to actual stone rocks. Our personality is contemporary with a value on excellence.
We are aiming to create a perception that church is a fun place for elementary age kids (k-5th grade) so they will want to come and invite all their friends. We also want the parents to think, "what a great place to bring my kids! They will learn lots of good things here."
We are looking for a logo to represent Rock City for a variety of uses from t-shirts to banners to screen images
Pretty open to design elements but not looking for something super "churchy" More like something they would see on Nickelodeon
We want it to be fun and appealling to kids but skewed to older elementary age. Nothing pre-schoolish. It has to say "cool" not "cute"
The color pallette we are working with is Plum, Lime Green, Cantelope with possible accents in red or aqua. Can provide exact colors.
Would like to see some stars worked into the design
Files required:
High Res PSD photoshop doc
.jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Some samples are attached that are going in the right direction and have close colors....as examples.

After a five-day, three-hospital journey postponed the trial of the two remaining Stonewood mortgage scam defendants, Helen Pedrino and her son, Hendrix Montecastro, have wrapped up their case after calling just one witness.
Pedrino, of Murrieta, and Montecastro, of Baltimore, are defending themselves against charges they defrauded 34 people out of homes and savings totaling $3.6 million. During the monthslong trial in Riverside Superior Court more than 50 witnesses have testified for the prosecution.
On Thursday, Montecastro told Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Prevost that the two were closing their case and not putting additional witnesses on the stand.
"I'm not calling anyone," Montecastro said. "I'm not moving forward because of my mom's health."
The move appeared to be laying the foundation for an appeal, in the event they are convicted of taking people's property, illegally selling securities and repeatedly giving false information to persuade people to invest in a scheme that rocked Southwest County last decade. The scam is blamed for $143 million in total losses to institutions and people, including $30 million to nearly 400 homeowners.
Montecastro faces 317 felony charges; Pedrino faces 41.
Pedrino, 61, spent Thursday and Friday at Riverside County Regional Medical Center, the county hospital in Moreno Valley, then Friday and Saturday at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa. Pedrino and her son have maintained she suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, chest pain and numbness in both arms.
On Monday, a warrant was issued for her arrest after the judge determined, from hospital records, that she was healthy enough to appear in a courtroom. But Pedrino's husband called an ambulance and she was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center before authorities arrived to execute the warrant.
Later that night, sheriff's deputies arrested Pedrino upon her release from the Wildomar hospital. Pedrino was back in court Tuesday afternoon, when the defense's lone witness testified.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower told the judge she believed Montecastro was setting the stage for an appeal. In declining to put anyone else on the stand, she said, Montecastro appeared to be preparing to make an argument that he was unable to present their case.
For that reason, Hightower asked that Montecastro be instructed to state the names of witnesses he had intended to call and the essence of what they would have said.
Prompted by the judge, Montecastro initially stated that he didn't know what testimony might have been given. A little later he named one witness whom he said would have testified Montecastro and James Duncan were not business partners.
Duncan, who formerly lived in La Cresta, was said to be the ringleader of the scheme that was centered in Murrieta and bilked millions out of homeowners at the height of the housing boom by persuading them to buy multiple houses. Investors often paid $60,000 to $100,000 more than list prices, with Stonewood partners pocketing the difference.
Duncan and four others charged in connection with the scam have pleaded guilty.
Duncan testified against Montecastro and Pedrino in early December and is scheduled to be sentenced March 15.
Also on Thursday, more than three months after the trial began, Montecastro asked for an attorney as he and Hightower sparred over the prosecution's 128 exhibits. Montecastro expressed frustration at his failure to block any exhibits, which were undergoing final review before the case goes to the jury.
"I don't know what all the legal issues are without an attorney," Montecastro said. "I need an attorney. ... I just don't understand the legalese."
Prevost said it was too late to appoint a lawyer and noted Montecastro had already made a decision not to be represented by one.
"Appointing counsel at this point would result in undue delay," the judge said.
The court spent much of Thursday morning working through two of the 128 exhibits, leading Hightower to complain about the slow progress.
"It's just crazy how much time we're wasting," Hightower said. "We'll be here for two weeks."
Prevost agreed too much time was being spent on exhibits, and offered to Montecastro to speed things along by noting objections to every one of them on grounds of authenticity and relevance, in case he should appeal.
"I didn't expect you to object to every single exhibit, but you have," the judge said.
Closing arguments are scheduled to be delivered Monday and the case is expected to be turned over to a jury by Tuesday.

Toy Tidy
Maelee Baby designs product solutions that make mom's life easier. First, we revolutionized the diaper bag into a functional and stylish staple for any mom on the go. Next we tackled the burp cloths and cleverly disguised them as scarves that tie onto your bag. We're constantly thinking about what we can solve for next.
For any mother, organization is paramount to her sanity. In what area could moms use help with organization? Toys! Fisher Price Little People, Polly Pockets, Hot Wheels, Star Wars action figures. What do these toys have in common? Lots of little pieces…little pieces that are hard to keep up with and can quickly make any play room look a tornado hit it.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a product that kept all the little pieces together and kept the little pieces with the main toy? Maelee's developing it.
Gone are the days of sticking "pieces" into Ziploc bags. Toy Tidy keeps toys together in one spot.
Toy Tidy is a drawstring bag made out of chalk fabric or see-through vinyl that attaches to the main toy. The bag allows for "the little pieces" to be kept together with the toy. The chalk fabric allows for consumer to be able to label the contents of the bag. Toy Tidy comes in 3 bag sizes: small, medium, & large.
We envision Toy Tidy being merchandised on clip strips in line with toys that have extra little parts wherever toys are sold.
Core Target: Moms with kids ages 0-12 with a bullseye on children 0-6
Toy Tidy's packaging design needs to be able to be merchandised on clip strips. We envision the packaging to be maybe a cardboard backing. Toy Tidy is placed in clear plastic that is stapled/affixed to cardboard backing.
Design needs to be commercial explaining how the product works and the benefits; i.e., keep all the pieces of toys together and label it for organization.
Mandatories: Brand name = Toy Tidy (prominent) and then include "by Maelee logo" see http://www.maeleebaby.com for logo..

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: He's been invited, but just can't find the time.
Aaron Rodgers joined Darren Smith on XX 1090 in San Diego to discuss his painful draft-day experience in 2005 and to give his thoughts on the 2012 Green Bay draft class. He also weighed in on the Madden curse, Forbes' list identifying him as one of the most influential athletes in North America and his desire to host Saturday Night Live in the future.
His thoughts on the Packers' draft:
"I'm excited about the way it went - to pick six defensive guys with our first six picks. And we traded up a couple different times to pick guys, another second-round pick. I think we made some really good trades. We got a big D-tackle from Michigan State (Jerel Worthy) who we feel can come in and play, we got a guy that played with my little brother at Vanderbilt, Casey Hayward, who's going to be a really good player, I think, at corner. He had a big year last year with seven interceptions and a guy who's got really good ball skills. And then picking a first-round pick in Nick Perry from USC - a guy we really needed to play on the other side of Clay Matthews, to take some pressure off of Clay and put some attention back on the other side of the line of scrimmage, I think, is really going to help us. If you look at our season defensively last year, I think adding some guys who can get after the passer is really gonna help us, and then adding a guy in the back end who can catch the ball when the ball's in the air is only gonna help us."
On the team adding another former USC Trojan and no California Golden Bears:
"We've still got Desmond Bishop. It's tough - I lost a bet last year to Clay when USC played Cal, and had to wear that ugly red and gold on a national interview with Jim Rome. So that was frustrating. I need my boys at Cal to come through this year so I can repay Clay the favor there. But, you know, it's fun having Pac-10 guys and guys from California. We got a kid from San Diego State (Tommie Draheim) as a free agent who we really like, so the more California guys we can get out there the better."
On if the draft brings back memories of his infamous slide in 2005:
"Yeah, it really does. As difficult as that day was for me, I'm glad it wasn't scrutinized the way it is now. I mean, they make a spectacle out of the first round and the second and third rounds, having their own nights for those. The way they - the promo stuff they do. Now they've got all those experts breaking down each player. I think it might have been a little bit more excruciating to go through that process now, with the way those guys are in the spotlight, than seven years ago. But it turned out the way it was supposed to and I landed in a great spot, and I really enjoyed my seven years. I can't believe I'm going into my eighth season. I'm currently the second longest tenured Packer on the team. So it's fun, but it's also a good realization that it goes by quickly, and to try to enjoy it as much as you can."
On how much he paid attention to the lead-up to the 2005 draft:
"A lot. I mean, you can't help it - you're a part of it either directly through the pieces you have to do, but also you're in it, in New York. That year it was at the Javits Center, and we had a lot of events. I got out there on a Wednesday, I believe, and we were doing stuff all day Thursday and all day Friday and then the draft. On east coast time, you're waiting around for a while, and then you get in the green room and you're waiting even longer. So it was a great experience for me personally. I think, to be able to be humbled like that, you can really turn that around and make that a positive and gain a lot of motivation from an experience like that. So that's what I did, and I don't wish that on anybody else. A couple of guys have gone through some similar situations, but I think it really builds character if you use it the right way."
On dealing with a slide such as the one he endured:
"I think you have to go through it to understand kind of what that feels like and the disappointment, and the feelings of frustration and regret and second guessing that you have to deal with. I think that really just trains you to have a little thicker skin when, as a quarterback, you're scrutinized as much as any position in professional sports, and you have to learn to not get so high with the highs and, conversely, to be able to deal with the low points and use it as positive motivation. So it was great for me as a young player coming out thinking I was gonna be a No. 1 pick and step right into the situation. And to be humbled and to have to be a backup was something that really I think ultimately did a lot for me and my career."
On not making the cover of "Madden NFL '13″:
"I think, if history tells us anything, it's that a lot of the guys who've been on there maybe haven't had the kind of season they wanted that year. So I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it."
On Forbes identifying him as the sixth most influential athlete in North America:
"Discount double check, Darren. It's done a lot of me kinda getting my name out there, and it's been a great relationship with State Farm. So I'm really thankful to be able to have that, to have that commercial out there. I don't get into the whole ranking stuff, but it's funny to think about how a celebration that started working against our No. 1 defense to try and get under their skin, to try and make them play harder, has turned into something that is the most widely either move done to me or thing said to me."
On why he hasn't hosted Saturday Night Live yet (Eli Manning hosts this weekend):
"I have been invited. I have. I want to do it, I want to do it right. And the commitment that it takes, in my opinion, to do it the right way was just too much for me this offseason. So I will be doing that in the future and look forward to the opportunity. NBC has been great to me, and looking forward to getting on there. Peyton Manning set the bar pretty high, so it'll be interesting to watch Eli this week to see if he can live up to his brother's appearance on there."
On what he means by commitment:
"It's a lot of rehearsal, and I'd like to do it the right way - spend a week out there and spend time with the writers and the actors and put on a good show. I think, as we've seen if you watch the show, you can tell the people who really put the time in on it and the people who maybe couldn't make the same kind of commitment."
