LUSBY, Md. (AP) — A Virginia-based energy company is submitting a 12,000-page application to federal regulators to build a $3.4 billion plant in southern Maryland to export liquefied natural gas.
Richmond, Va.-based Dominion Resources Inc. announced Monday it has deals in place with energy companies in Japan and India to buy the gas that would be produced there.
Dominion wants to expand its existing Cove Point plant in Lusby, Md., to produce liquefied natural gas for export. The facility would take advantage of the natural gas boom in the mid-Atlantic associated with the Marcellus shale formation.
Exporting gas allows Dominion to receive a much higher price than on the domestic market, where gas is more abundant.
Environmentalists and consumer advocates oppose the plan, fearing damage to the Chesapeake Bay and higher domestic gas prices.

Charlie Weis: Better at Complaining than Coaching?
Notre Dame was jumped by multitude of teams including Florida, Tennessee, Texas and Georgia Tech in the various rankings and Weis wasn't pleased. "One of the teams (Tennessee) that jumped us had the same game that we had. They're down, they're playing at home and they win by a field goal. Another team (Florida) that jumped us wasn't even playing. They were home eating cheeseburgers and they end up jumping us. That befuddles me," said Weis.
What befuddles me is, when will coaches learn that as soon as you start worrying about the polls instead of taking care of business on the field, your team loses focus and you often begin losing games? Just ask Tommy Tuberville. But, apparently Weis realizes that the Irish schedule is so weak the next couple of weeks, focus won't matter so it's time to bitch, bitch, bitch away.
One thing I've always respected about Lloyd Carr is, in all his years as Michigan's head coach, say what you will about the man, but I don't ever remember him playing trying to talk his team up for the benefit of some pollsters. Granted, besides this season and '97, there really wasn't a need but you get my point. I've always found such begging for votes a bit cheesey. Like that annoying, kinda-hot-but-not-hot-enough girl in high school trying her damndest to swing the Homecoming Queen vote when she's really not in the same league as the smokin' chick who transferred to your city from IHitPubertyAtElevenville in 10th grade.
And we're not the only ones talking about Charlie's whining. DJ Gallo wrote a great piece about it on ESPN.com (HT: DW) saying he's befuddled by a couple things himself, asking Charlie, "How you were able to dupe Notre Dame into giving you a 10-year contract worth nearly $40 million after starting your career 5-2 without a single win against a team that finished the season ranked in the Top 25. That's a bit befuddling. As is the fact that you are regarded as some sort of football god even though the next good team your Fighting Irish beat will be the first. In your tenure you have played three good teams (so much for the perception that Notre Dame plays a brutal schedule, huh?): USC last October, Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl and Michigan five weeks ago. You were blown out in two of those three games. But, yeah, you almost beat USC. Congratulations. Heck of a moral victory there. That's exactly why you were hired. For moral victories."
And yes, the rest of the article is just as good and brutal.

Outstanding post, Yost (hey! I'm a poet and I didn't know it!). I visit BGS, HRB, and Rakes of Mallow almost daily and I'm stunned that none of them are angry, upset, or worried about barely winning games vs. extremely mediocre teams like Georgia Tech, MSU and UCLA. All they can talk about is how thrilling the win was, and the genius of Weis (OMG HE ALWAYS GOES FOR IT ON 4TH WOOOOO AWSUM!!!), and the zen mastery and vulcan mind-melds of Quinn and Samardzija (sp?). I think it's because they're in deep, deep denial about how weak and fragile their team really is. It's okay to hype the fact that you keep winning and that "they don't ask how, they just ask how many", but only if you've won them all - not if you've been decimated by somebody already... even if that "somebody" is the 2nd-best team in the country.
Just for good measure, Gallo also quotes Weis on the subject of ND's chances to play in Glendale (which Weis refuses to discount, because he's an idiot), and Gallo reasonably assures Cheeseburger Charlie that he would certainly be facing either OSU or UM, and that either of us would "crush" the Irish.
I have a feeling you guys are about to start stomping them about 8 or 9 out of every 10 games, and that the Wolverines are going to become an albatross around Weis' neck (it might actually take TWO albatrossi to make it all the way around those jowls). I just wish we Buckeyes could get in on the fun and didn't have to rely on memories of the mid-90's home-and-home whipping we handed the Rudys.

Your crying baby picture of Weiss forgot to inlcude a picture of thast freaking "hubcap" of a title ring (wrong league fathead) that he wore during the "befuddled" press conference. Speaking of Fathead - I heard Fathead declined to carry his picture in their wall life-size sticker lineup for two reasons. One, their printing press wasn;t big enough and two, the sticker violated most towns building codes prohibiting billboards in residential areas.

the moaning & whining is all about $$$ - and i understand that, i suppose.
still, i love to see the 'domer' faithful try to spitshine Weis into something he's not.
MIDMAJOR MEDIOCRITY is going to be hard for Weis to swallow - but i'll bet he'll choke it down.....w/ a side of fries!

Mandel takes Charlie to task as well.
It's not as fun to read as Gallo (I love the in your face humor), but it does a good job of chopping Charlie's argument to shreds in a non-confrontational way. I especially like that he points out that NDs offense has actually regressed this year, despite returning everyone of consequence save Fasano. I'm surprised none of those ND blogs are a bit worried about that. Maybe there are extenuating circumstances I'm not aware of, but I certainly thought they'd be really good on O - but they are only pretty good from what I've seen.

What they conveniently forget is that they were given the #2 slot in the beginning without merit. The loss in the Fiesta Bowl could have been much worse had it not been for 2 missed FG's and 2 fumbles deep in ND territory. That defense is awful, slow and not fundamentally sound. The offensive line is porous. If you think ND is in denial this year, wait till they don't have Quinn, Samardzija, Abiamiri, Zibikowski etc... next year. I think you can reference PSU, Texas, Arkansas and anyone not named SC as to how hard it is to win with a first year QB. UM should put a biblical thumping on these charlatains next year, then we'll see how the excuses flow out of South Bend.
NDNation has to be the funniest read right now. They are in a constant lather because Troy Smith is favored over their beloved Quinn. They ignore the beating UM gave them and point to all of the come from behind wins. They ignore the fact that OSU hasn't fallen behind to have to come back. Solid QB play kept OSU in front. Troy has better numbers except total yardage. That's because he doesn't pass 35-40 times per game and is usually a cheerleader in the 4th quarter.
BTW Yost, have you noticed the similarities to OSU's season this year to UM's 1997. Heisman candidate, undefeated, playing last game at home vs. highly ranked rival etc...November 18 will be the greatest of all, in the greatest rivalry in sports!

Yeah -- Maybe the Bucks can also beat Michigan, win their bowl game, have a coaching legend decide he is going to retire, and get fucked out of celebrating a full national championship by a bunch of idiots...
- October 27, 2006 10:06 AM
Actually reading the transcript or watching the press conference would put the quotes into context. The ellipses in the middle of one of the quotes is a reference to the writer, who was asking the question, and the article doesn't mention the general laughter that accompanied the exchange. Admittedly, reading the quotes as they were presented shows a bitter, angry man, but its taken out of context when you consider the rest of the dialogue (something along the lines of the polls working themselves out by the end of the season) and humor between the press and Weis. Its all factual correct, but spun in such a way to create a story, which it apparently has.
- October 27, 2006 10:11 AM
Oh, zip it! I'm so goddamn tired of some Domer excusing the stupid shit Weis says b claiming it was "sarcastic" or "dead-panning." Look, he's a fucking whiner and should've kept his trap shut.

Crabapple Buck,
Michigan already did put a biblical thumping on those charlatains. I would certainly love another. Lloyd should, to quote Mike Valenti, stick the knife reeeal deep and watch the blood squirt out all over.

My beloved Irish take it on the chin -ouch it hurts hitting the canvas that hard. But nevertheless I keep coming back to the web site bc its this kind of acerbic humor that makes the site great. We are a midiocre team and knowledgable fans should admit that.
But CW has instilled a winning attitude (insert pithy remark here) that Ty couldn't. Time will tell whether he's worth the $40M or not.
- October 27, 2006 12:45 PM
anon 8:57,
Read the transcript instead of just spouting off on bits and pieces of a whole. As I stated, it looks like a bitter and angry rant and I was very surprised to hear about it, but my opinion changed when I read the whole transcript. Puts the comments in context and doesn't look nearly as bad as how you would like it to be. Think for yourself instead of letting the media tell how to react.
- October 27, 2006 1:22 PM
I read the transcript, and I don't think the comments are taken out of context.
re:the rest of the dialogue (something along the lines of the polls working themselves out by the end of the season)
That was about five questions before the question that prompted his remarks about being jumped in the polls.
Then again, Charlie Weis is infallible (just like the pope).
- October 27, 2006 2:42 PM
The transcript of the quotes in question...unabridged. They can be found at www.und.com. Immediately following the comments that everyone is throwing a hissy fit over is the comment about the polls working themselves out. not five questions before or five questions after, but immediately following. Enjoy. But before anyone starts laughing at ND's chances for a national championship game appearance, everyone already knows that the chances are slim to none. That's why the chances are called "remote" in multiple occasions.
Q. What's your reaction to after a win you drop one in the AP Poll, two in the Coach Poll, one in the BCS?
COACH Charlie Weis: Well, the things that surprise me are in that situation - I'll just cite a couple of them, like one of the teams that jumped us had the same game that we had. Another down, they're playing at home, they're down and they win by a field goal. Another team that jumped us wasn't even playing. They're sitting at home eating cheeseburgers, and they ended up jumping us. So that befuddles me.
We go into a game with 27 seconds to go, come from behind, win a thrilling game, and because we win a thrilling game, let's move us down because one team is not playing and the other team had the exact same game, exactly the same. Tell me how that works. Maybe I'm just stupid, just tell me how that works. You're on the AP, tell me how that works (laughter).
Q. I don't get a vote. A lot of times you say you don't worry about the poll. When do you begin worrying about those things?
COACH Charlie Weis: Well, the number one thing is you want, hey - let's be very practical here, okay. Would I love for Notre Dame to play for the National Championship this year? Absolutely. Is it a chance that it happens? Remote. Is there a chance? Yeah, there's a chance because any team with one loss has a chance of playing for it.
Now, a lot of things have to happen now, okay. A lot of things have to happen. But is there a chance? I'd say there's a chance. It's remote. Would you agree with that? It's remote, but would you say there's a chance? Remote.
Other than that, what's the next thing you want? Well, you'd like to play in one of the big games. So what do you have to do? Then you have to win. That's what you have to do. If you win, things usually end up taking care of themselves.
There's great wins, there's ugly wins, okay, but they all ?? they're all wins, and when it's all said and done, the teams that are going to have a chance to play in those games are going to be the teams that won enough games to be in that position.

Not to worry matsut. We are paying attention to the fact that ND is winning close games against very average competition. Don't assume we're sticking our heads in the sand about it. At the same time, we're also not going to freak out about it and start posting doom and gloom.
- October 27, 2006 6:11 PM
I believe YOU Michigan fans have been so long without a head coach with a personality that you show your spitefulness towards someone like Coach Weis. Bo S. a angry man, would have gone out like Woody. Moeller, zip in the personality dept. & Lloyd doesn't have a clue. By the way how is Arrington doing in his Anger Mgmet. classes. Hard to believe but your posts have me rooting for tosu. Your a bunch of front runners. I remember your blogs pre the season. Fire Lloyd. You can't spell Lloyd without two LL's.
- October 27, 2006 6:40 PM
- Yost said...
You don't remember us saying fire Lloyd on this site. That's because, even at the darkest hour in the wake of the 7-5 season, when many were calling for just that, Benny and I have always supported him 100%.
As for anger management, good to see you not overreacting to a blog post. Can one not criticize the ND coach? And it's not like we were the only ones.
- October 27, 2006 6:59 PM
- Yost said...
P.S. And Jim, if you're now changing your support from Michigan to Tosu b/c of one blog post, I'm guessing your support wasn't that strong to begin with.
- October 27, 2006 7:02 PM
Wow. If there's one thing that can bring on a group hug between Buckeyes and Wolverines, it's disdain of those weaseling Irish! Go Buckeyes! Beat Minnehaha!
- October 27, 2006 9:57 PM
Yost & Benny; My apologies. I should be taking those classes with name withheld. I think what upset me was I viewed the press conference in its entirety. und.com, & everything CW said was with a laugh & a smile. ND & UM have always had I thought a great relationship, but hearing from Lloyd & Bo about UM not needing ND is too ridiculous to respond to. It is not ND that is cancelling the season after '08 it is UM. Another Mich. duirectional scholl perhaps in the Big House? Great sell out crummy game. I'd rather see ND take on Um & lose then beat a E. Mich or W. Mich. To end I thought the graciousness of CW's remarks about UM & Coach Carr were quite magnanimous. Evidently this was also missed in your analysis of the game. Maybe your just so use to bitter pissed off losers.e.g Joe Pa, Tessel, Smith, Mason.PS. Exactly who did UM beat to propel them to the #2 ranking. Vandy, the Mich directional schools, no it was ND.
- October 28, 2006 12:57 AM
- Yost said...
I don't think there is one person out there saying we should replace ND with a crap school. Instead, I (like many others) would simply like to see M/ND play two on-two off so that we could also play, say, Texas one year, LSU, etc.
There is no way, in this day and age if you're in conference, that we'd ever add such games w/ ND on the schedule, not when pollsters give more weight to simply being undefeated (see: WVU). So, it's not a slam, at least on my part.
As for Bo, who knows what his motivation was. But Lloyd has never said anything on the subject as far as I know.
- October 28, 2006 1:15 AM
Yost. thanks for the venue & response. I hope UM runs the table & wins the NC. I've always liked UM just a bit put off by the blatant misrepresentation of CW.
- October 28, 2006 3:08 AM
- Yost said...
And just so you know, I'm basing my comments on CW on newspaper transcripts. I didn't see him speak. Thus, I hope you can understand why it would appear the way it does from the transcript.
- October 28, 2006 3:32 AM
Bo said the Big Ten needs to stop subsidizing Notre Dame football. He was absolutely correct. Join our conference or stop playing our teams 6 times a year. Stop getting the milk for free and buy the cow.
He was absolutely correct. I'd much rather have a home and home vs. a high profile SEC team. Notre Dame doesn't deserve it.
- October 28, 2006 6:47 AM
jeremy. Bo is a blowhard. Everyear he talks the same garbage. He had his chance the last few years. So he schedules E. Mich, Ball State,WTF,& W. Mich. Bo doesn't want to do that. Neither does the Big 11. With the additinal game why not make it mandatory to add another conference game. ND does not need UM of the Big Ten. You don't think they could replace those four Big Ten teams in a nano second? Stop being delusional next you'll be saying UM is a better school academical then Cal, UCLA, UNC. OR UT.in Austin.
- October 28, 2006 4:20 PM
- Yost said...
Please remove your head from your ass -- in Bo's last six seasons, his out of conference schedule included:
84 - Miami, Fl and Washington (both ranked, Miami #1)
85 - ND, S. Carolina, Maryland (all ranked)
86 - ND, Oregon St and FSU (ND and FSU ranked)
87 - ND and Wash. State (ND ranked)
88 - ND and Miami, FL (both ranked, Miami #1)
89 - (ND, UCLA, Maryland with ND and UCLA both ranked).
So please get your information straight before you make statements that have no basis in fact. Make you the one that looks like a blowhard.
- October 28, 2006 4:36 PM
- Yost said...
PS As for the school rankings, according to the latest US News and WORLD REPORTS list, only Cal from that list of yours is ahead of Michigan.
Again, before you spew shit out of your ass, do at least a little research.
- October 28, 2006 4:41 PM
Yost touched a nerve huh? You can of course (UM) play anyone as can the Big 10, do you really think ND would have an iota of difficulty in replacing them with a couple of Big 12 & SEC games? By the way how aare the UM rankings for atheletes on graduation. Not the NCAA ones the Federal rate & also for their minority athletes? ISN&WR do they have ND ranked above old UM???. Giggles.
- October 29, 2006 1:03 AM
Any bets as to who will end their coaching career with more National Championships: Carr or Weis? My money is on Charlie (that is spotting LLoyd the one has already. Oh, as I am sure you are all aware, Weis' first one will put him one ahead of Bo.
- October 29, 2006 9:00 PM

Maybe you should just concentrate on Charlie beating a good team first.
Baby steps, dude. Baby steps.

"And just so you know, I'm basing my comments on CW on newspaper transcripts."
Thanks for confirming that all the venom and discussion of these quotes comes completely from the newspaper article vice any research into the comments. Now that you have seen the context, care to put together a few comments taking back some of the things in this post or just let it all go because it fits the image of those whining Irish?

Vinyl flooring is commonly thought of as a low-budget option perfect for areas of your home that need extra durability, such as your kitchen, utility room, or high-traffic living areas. It typically comes in planks that snap together, or in one-piece sheets or glue-down tiles. It's also waterproof and does particularly well with dampness, humidity, and spills. Despite its durability and low cost, those who prefer a natural material generally choose hardwood Durable ... Sheridan IN 46069 for its timeless appeal. Now, vinyl flooring has evolved and has more texture and depth. It can mimic hardwood and comes in a variety of colors and gloss finishes. Here are options that may make you reconsider your hardwoods.
Types to Consider
Tiles are easy to install yourself and can be a great choice if you want to create your own design. For example, you can lay tile in a checkerboard formation or diagonal, Sheridan IN 46069 and you can even add grout for a more realistic look. Tiles have an impressive resilience to abrasion and, if needed, can be refinished with mechanical buffing equipment and chemical strippers. One notable type, vinyl composition tile (VCT), is mostly constructed from limestone and is durable and easy on the budget.
Planks are a perfect way to mimic the look of hardwood, but with the benefit of extreme durability and low cost. Vinyl Buying New Carpet Sheridan IN 46069 planks come in very similar sizes to wood planks and look realistic with features such as beveled edges and textures. With the introduction of plank shapes that look exactly like wood boards, including features such as adjoining boards that can be clicked together and techniques for better embossing, planks are increasing in popularity.
Sheets allow for seamless installation and usually come in 6- or 12-foot size rolls. They are a perfect choice for Sheridan IN 46069 rooms that continually experience moisture. There are a plethora of designs to choose from, including styles that look exactly like tile or wood. Sheets are also typically less expensive compared to plank or tile materials because they can be mass-produced in big rolls without concern over precise cuts. It's left up to you and your installer to measure your space and cut it down to the correct size.
Other Factors to Consider
If you're Sheridan IN 46069 interested in low maintenance, this technologically advanced material could be your best bet. Cleaning simply involves light sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, or mopping, and it rarely needs to be refinished even if you have pets. The new quality stands up to wear and tear from pets' messes and nails, and is also warm and not too slippery for your four-legged friends and small children. It can also include antimicrobial protection to guard against Sheridan IN 46069 mold, mildew, and bacteria. In addition, it now frequently contains recycled content and green features such as low-VOC inks. The more advanced material has become functional for any room, including living spaces where it was typically never used.
Wood floors may be classic and always in style, but since it is a natural material, it can suffer in both stability and durability. Luxury vinyl flooring is extremely stable and durable, with minimal upkeep Sheridan IN 46069 and a reasonable price.

This is especially useful if you work with large files and the Wiki pages mainly summarize the contents of the documents.
Scripturian is a compact library that makes it very easy to integrate JVM languages (which support JSR-223). It lets you embed "scriptlets" into text documents, in the style of PHP, JSP, and ASP. It also allows boot strap JVM applications using any of the supported languages, which makes it easy to quickly configure and make changes in how your applications start up without re-compilation.

"This Administration is committed to clearing the way for communities to invest in transit options that revitalize neighborhoods and improve access to jobs and critical destinations," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "These improvements expedite our environmental review process to move projects through the pipeline more quickly, while preserving critical community input on how planned transit projects affect the local environment."
One impact of FTA's new environmental review provisions is that the changes will make it possible to expedite the release of Hurricane Sandy emergency relief funds to aid in the restoration, rehabilitation and replacement of damaged transit assets in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and other regions.
Communities developing rail, bus, streetcar and ferry transit projects will spend less time preparing documentation, such as environmental assessments, while continuing to ensure the protection of the environment and people's health. For example, a transit project slated for development in an existing transportation right-of-way would qualify for a shorter environmental review process than one breaking all new ground. To help expedite the process overall, transportation authorities are also encouraged to take environmental impacts into consideration sooner, as part of the planning process, rather than later in the process, which may cause delays.
The changes are the result of a review of FTA's environmental procedures and are in line with the provisions in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) designed to expedite project delivery. The changes are said to boost transparency of the NEPA process by encouraging environmental impact statements and other environmental review documents to be posted online, keeping local residents and other interested groups informed.
These changes will be effective immediately upon publication in the Federal Register, within the next few days.

"This comprehensive retrospective of Canada's number one guerrilla journalist is an awe-inspiring omnibus that proves many things about our beloved Nardwuar: he is a credited Canadian institution (check out the props by Michael Moore and David Cross on the case), an unforgettable character, an obsessive music lover and an encyclopaedia filled with an abundance of arbitrary and obscure facts. But most of all, Nardwuar is a true showman who puts his audience first by going where no other journalist dares to go. Over five hours of footage finds Nard interacting with well-known personalities whom he either rubs shoulders with or rubs the wrong way, unintentionally, I think. A nicely edited two-part MuchMusic special titled Nard Wars organises his interrogations into tidy subcategories like "Diva," "Metal" and the most entertaining one, "Danger," where our cheese cutter-clad hero is unjustly threatened by the bullying likes of Sonic Youth, Blur and Stephen Harper's bodyguards. Highlights are aplenty, but an annoyed Henry Rollins, an unruffled Ian MacKaye, the bloody Gwar (whose Oderus proclaims Nardwuar "the most annoying human I've ever met") and the chilled, yet thieving Snoop Dogg, who makes three appearances (including the 30-minute special where we see Nardwuar brought down to earth as he struggles to secure some time with the rapper), show the BC native at his best. A plethora of extras, such as uncut interviews, news/lifestyle pieces on Nardwuar and a vast assortment of music from his bands, are also available. I honestly cannot imagine living without this."- Exclaim!
"I remember vividly the first time I stumbled across Nardwuar the Human Serviette. It was the summer of 2002, and I, like many music listeners, was just embarking on what would be an ongoing love affair with the White Stripes. I'd bought three of their records — White Blood Cells, De Stijl and a bootleg of the 2001 Peel Sessions — watched their buzzmaking MTV Movie Awards performance, and even seen them in concert for the first time, at Chene Park in Detroit with the Strokes opening. At that time I also frequented White Stripes.net, an obsessively detailed fansite and message board which regularly posts interview and live performance downloads for obsessively detailed fan dissection. It was on this page where I found an audio interview with the Stripes by some oddball Canadian who called himself "Nardwuar"...and as I listened, I realized that this interview was quite possibly the most surreal exchange I had ever heard.You have to realize, too, that I wasn't even getting the full experience. Hearing Nardwuar, whose squeaky, lisping, Canadian-accented voice falls somewhere between Emo Phillips and an overexcited first-grader, is weird enough as it is, but seeing him is something else entirely: the Prince Valiant haircut covered by a tam'o'shanter, the mostly-plaid, vintage and mismatched wardrobe which looks like the aftermath of an explosion in a particularly uncool senior citizen's closet. In the White Stripes interview (now available in Real Video, MP3 and transcribed text form on Nardwuar's almost unnecessarily well-designed website), the "Human Serviette" wore a voluminous stars and stripes windbreaker, and opened proceedings by unveiling a gigantic poster of the Stripes' fellow Detroiter, Bob Seger, as depicted on his Stranger in Town album cover. Then, the grilling began: a flurry of rapid-fire questions, everything from Billy Childish to Loretta Lynn to Jack White's alleged exploits with groupies via Internet rumor. He would punctuate these questions by repeatedly asking for the names of his interviewees. Jack and Meg, standing helpless beside this whirlwind of hyperactivity, appeared alternately bemused and stricken."Nardwuar vs. the White Stripes" (his interviews are always best described in antagonistic terms) can be seen in excerpted form on his new DVD, entitled Doot Doola Doot Doo...Doot Doo! after the "shave and a haircut" rhythm with which he ends every session. I was glad to see it, since the summer when I first heard that interview still makes me a little nostalgic. But the thing is, it's neither the most interesting nor the most surreal thing to be seen on this disc. In a mind-boggling five and a half hours of footage, Nardwuar's DVD features Q&A sessions with such luminaries as Iggy Pop (he asks a series of questions about his cock), Marilyn Manson (he exposes his bare chest for no apparent reason), Vanilla Ice (he asks whether Ice was "necking with Corey Feldman" at a party), and ex-Soviet Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev (he says his trademark closing line, "keep on rockin' in the free world," in Russian). His singularly obnoxious, sub-gonzo interviewing style - which has provoked at least two hair metal has-beens, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row and Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot, to near-violence - is usually the root of these interviews' hilarity; whether he's peppering an obviously perturbed Henry Rollins with questions and no space for answers or bringing in Canadian "rock warrior" THOR to bend bars with his teeth in front of an aloof, arrogant and for once wordless Gene Simmons. But this isn't some warped Canadian version of Punk'd, as Nardwuar himself would be quick to remind us: schtick or no schtick, this dude takes himself seriously.Just look at Nard Wars II, the most illuminating feature on the disc - a complete MuchMusic special which follows Nard on a long and arduous attempt to track down Snoop Dogg for their third bizarre, surreal and sporadically uncomfortable interview. We watch him on every step of his preparation: consulting with a record shop-owner for vinyl presents to give to Snoop, staking out a hotel room for the interview, and making several calls to Snoop's people, most of which are met with indifference. Somehow, it's both depressing and inspiring; depressing because, for much of the five hours he waits, Nardwuar seems likely to get the cold shoulder, and inspiring because he not only secures the interview, but his persistence and unflappable enthusiasm as he tries is, frankly, infectious.The fruits of Nardwuar's considerable efforts, with Snoop Dogg and others, can be viewed extensively on both Nard Wars I, the original MuchMusic special, and on the disc two special features, some three hours of unedited footage entitled Nard Raw. But fans of such details as "context" and "coherency" may find themselves a little disappointed: the original special casts its net wider than an hour-long runtime will allow and incorporates that irritating post-MTV jump-editing, unwisely skipping between random interviews when one of the joys of a Nardwuar interview is the slow, creeping alienation of its interviewee. Nard Raw fares better, but it ain't quite as "raw" as it claims: a montage of clips between Nard and his longtime sparring partner/current distributor, Jello Biafra, splices together footage taken over 16 years into one fifteen-minute segment. It's a disorienting viewing experience, to be sure, but then again there's something a little instructive about the juxtaposition; by boiling one of Nardwuar's many love/hate relationships into such a compact package, Doot Doola Doot Doo allows us to glimpse a strange kind of love taking the lead.Besides, it's a little silly to quibble about too much editing on a package as bizarrely lavish as this: Doot Doola Doot Doo contains not only Nardwuar's interviews, but videos and amateur live tapings of his bands the Evaporators and Thee Goblins, a sixteen-page booklet with some very funny historical press clippings and interview excerpts, and even audio commentary by the Nard himself. It begs the question: is anyone really that big a fan of Nardwuar? But hey, Alternative Tentacles isn't exactly known for putting out packages with mass appeal; and the beauty of this DVD is that the more you get to know Nardwuar, the more you respect him as a personality, a human being, and yes, a journalist.Okay, so maybe I won't be asking anyone to sing "shave and a haircut" with me on my next big Modern Pea Pod interview. But this man isn't just some goofball in Coke bottle glasses and a tartan hat: his musical knowledge, punk rock and otherwise, is encyclopaedic, and he has a knack for digging up truly odd bits of trivia amidst all the absurdity. Say what you will, but once you see a Nardwuar interview, you'll never forget it ... and after five and a half hours of this DVD, I promise, you'll wish you could."- Modern Pea Pod

So I need help! Please! I have no gay or bi friends to talk to so I feel like I'm in a battle field by myself, so I want my first post to finally give me the support I need in this war.
Its about my best friend, who I've liked since the minute I've laid eyes on him. He's so hot and desirable. Very macho. And a real womanizer, but he acts so different toward me that it confuses me, especially being that he doesnt treat other men this way. I'm gonna list chronicology all the things he does that alarms me.
- We meet for the first time through my best friend, who was his best friend since childhood. We barely exchanged words besides a simply introduction.
- We meet for the second time, but he's very drunk and ask me if I was bisexual or anything along those lines. Of course I denied, because we were in a room with other people, but he asked in a way that bothered me. He was basically on top of me, attempting to whisper this in my ear, and it just looked gay as hell, so I tried to avoid him in this room full of people.
- We meet for the 3rd time, when he was drunk again, but this time decided he wanted to wrestle with me. I dont know what reaction was on my face, but he clearly thought I was mad, and spent the next hour pressing me up against the wall and apologizing to me. Telling me that he doesnt want me to be mad at him. I tell him to back off of me and there was no reason for being so close and he tells me, "whats wrong with me being to close" Our noses were touching and he had no shirt on.
- He finds out I smoke through our mutual best friend, and sets it up so he is there. From then on, he would blow up my phone to hang out, mostly ranting on and on about his girlfriend and all the crazy shit she does.
- He begins dragging me around with him and his girlfriend, even to dinners when it would seem like you would want to be alone with your girlfriend. He also begins downplaying all my friends as if he was the only important one or the one who does the most for me.
- Our mutual best friend tells me that he's shocked at how fast he has warmed up to me and he's never seen this before.
- We move in together as roommates along with our other 2 friends.
- One day sitting on the couch, (he always finds away to invade my personal space, even when there is enough room) I tell him to move over a little bit because he was almost sitting on top of me and the whole couch was available, and he replies "I know you're in love with me."
- One day home alone, he announces he's going to take a shower but then started yelling for me to come to the bathroom, as I go, there he is standing naked with his hand over his cock, asking me if his haircut was fine.
- He gives me a haircut, after persuading me to get on my knees for it even though I wanted to sit, and the whole time I felt his cock through his sweats pressed against the back of my head. If I felt it, then he felt it too.
- He begins to downplay our mutual best friend, throwing him into the catergory of ppl that are not good enough for me, which is extremely odd at how close they are.
- He begins to regularly sleep in my bed, even though he had his own room down the hall. He would just find a reason to be in my room, and under my covers and to go to sleep.
- One day at his moms house, I'm in his room and he jokingly asked me to come cuddle with him. I ignored him.
- At his moms I went to shower and he came up with this excuse of why I gotta leave the door open. -_-
- We are smoking and the lighter is on my crotch and he reaches for the lighter and then says in all seriousness "sorry, i didnt mean to grab your dick"
- One night i stayed over his place and woke up to his hand basically around me. I just told myself he was sleeping bad and moved his hand. I woke up to his head so close to mine, I could kiss him if I wanted.
- He calls me every night for a month straight just to say nothing and sit on the phone.
- We get into our first serious argument, and he basically threatened me, so I told him I was done with him. I thought it was done until he texted me several hours later saying "i wish you were here right now. I love you." (when i do something that he thinks is "fishy" he starts compairing me to his ex girlfriends)
- Our mutual bestfriend told me that he talks about me all the time when I'm not there. He would see something and laugh then comment that I would think its funny or something.
- We are in a straight club and he is super fucked up and comes up to me and ask me to come with him to get a drink then kisses me on the cheek.
- I dont see him in a long time because of work, so I go briefly see him, and we literally did nothing but sit in a car and speak for about an hour, then he text me that he misses me and its fun when he gets to see me.
And now he is on my mind too much because I really do like him but I'm scared that what he is doing is me over analyzing stuff. Especially for the fact, he acts almost lovey dovey to me around our mutual bestfriend and our friend says NOTHING at all. Not even when we lived together and he was sleeping in my bed. I dont know what move to make or if I should do anything. I'm so scared of losing my best friend. regardless of my attraction to him, he treats me so good. And he is a macho guy and fucks alot of girls that I know about, All them times we've slept next to each other, you would think something would have happened by now.
What is your take on it?

Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.

When "leaners" are included, the candidates are tied at 48%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question.Isn't it strange how the candidates are so precisely locked in an even standoff, when the newspapers are pounding it into our heads that the pathetic, miserable Romney hasn't got a chance? Where would Romney be now if the media gave him something close to equal treatment? Is it possible that the media's desperate boosting of their candidate is causing the electorate to tune out or even skew in the other direction? I think so. I find myself repelled by media bias. I've built up my defenses, which means I've now internalized the elaboration of the conservative position. I'm not even that conservative — I just know where the bias is, and I need to perform the correction for my own sense of balance.

Commander Shepard will get more smooching options in Mass Effect 3, including same-sex relationships for both Jane and John Shepard, Mass Effect series executive producer Casey Hudson has revealed on Twitter (via The Average Gamer).
Hudson said that he was "happy to confirm [Mass Effect 3] supports wider options for love interests" including same-sex relationships for male and female characters, "reactive to how you interact [with] them in-game."
In response to a fan's concerns that developer BioWare would 'break' existing characters by meddling with their sexuality, Hudson added he was confident that the writers would handle love interests "with sophistication" and "preserve character continuity."
He also noted that "love interests won't all necessarily be permanent squad members."
There's also good news for those who are none too keen on having to rebuff the advances of even more crew members, perhaps because they find the 'romances' awkward and embarrassing. Good news for me, at any rate. Hudson explained that Mass Effect 3 will feature more moments of simple friendship, such as when Shepard shares a drink with Doctor Chakwas in Mass Effect 2. Lovely.
This revelation calls to mind the 'defence' Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider made of Dragon Age 2's homosexual relationships, after an outraged player boldly claimed that "BioWare neglected their main demographic: The Straight Male Gamer."
"The person who says that the only way to please them is to restrict options for others is, if you ask me, the one who deserves it least," Gaider wrote.
The romances in the game are not for "the straight male gamer". They're for everyone. We have a lot of fans, many of whom are neither straight nor male, and they deserve no less attention. We have good numbers, after all, on the number of people who actually used similar sorts of content in DAO and thus don't need to resort to anecdotal evidence to support our idea that their numbers are not insignificant... and that's ignoring the idea that they don't have just as much right to play the kind of game they wish as anyone else. The "rights" of anyone with regards to a game are murky at best, but anyone who takes that stance must apply it equally to both the minority as well as the majority. The majority has no inherent "right" to get more options than anyone else.
Mass Effect 3 is due on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the first quarter of 2012, having recently been delayed to make sure it's "the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone's expectations."

The U.S. Supreme Court is getting ready to rule on Arizona's controversial immigration law and a lot of people in that state are watching closely. Tonight, nearly two dozen Spanish language radio and TV stations in Arizona are scheduled to run the same program about the immigration law. As NPR's Mandalit del Barco reports, they're walking a fine line between journalism and advocacy.
MANDALIT DEL BARCO, BYLINE: In Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma, 23 TV and radio stations are running the half-hour program simultaneously. It spotlights Arizona's controversial immigration law, Senate Bill 1070, which would, among other things, require non-U.S. citizens to carry alien registration papers at all times. The show looks at the history of anti-immigration laws and their impact on families. Journalists from the regular news programs interview a civil rights lawyer and Latino Arizonans.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (Spanish spoken)
BARCO: The hatred and terror against us is increasing, says one person who's interviewed. Another talks about how immigrants feel persecuted. The audience is invited to call into immigration lawyers who will answer questions from people confused about the bill.
BEN MONTERROSO: It is fear and it's misinformation. We need to ensure that our community understands that we have rights. That's why we're doing this.
BARCO: Ben Monterroso heads a non-partisan group that encourages Latinos to vote. He was able to organize Arizona's fiercely competitive stations to unite in their message.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Hoy Somos Arizona.
BLOCK: The show's title, "Hoy Somos Arizona" - "Today We Are Arizona" - echoes a political movement of immigrant supporters called Todos Somos Arizona, we are all Arizona.
VERONICA VIASANI: I think it's definitely different from what English language media would do and this is an unprecedented effort.
BARCO: Journalist Veronica Viasani(ph) blogs about the Spanish language media.
VIASANI: That's really the difference with Hispanic media. They're very well known for community journalism, for advocacy journalism. And I think that Hispanic media really knows who their audience is, and they're really serving that audience.
BARCO: Estrella TV is one of the Phoenix stations airing the show. Andres Angulo and is its vice president of news. He says although he's not against advocacy journalism, he doesn't think this show - presented as a news special - is partisan.
ANDRES ANGULO: We're journalists. Were not politicians, no. We are not like Fox News that they take a side to the right or the radio station that take a side to the left and they're not shy. We're not taking sides. We're just taking the side of the community to have a better understanding of a very hard, complicated, and controversial law that affect them directly.
BARCO: But Viasani says critics may misunderstand the show's attentions.
VIASANI: I wouldn't really be surprised if there is a backlash of because of this effort, accusations of trying to polarize the community. But I think in reality, the polarizing already happened when they actually did the bill.
BARCO: "Hoy Somos Arizona" will also be streaming live on the Internet and it's replacing the local newscasts on many of Arizona's Spanish language media.

Hump Day at the MZone
So, let's just call this a potluck open thread. Pick a topic and discuss.

This is going to be our topic of discussion? Seriously? How about we discuss henne's showing in the senior bowl and his stock as an NFL recruit... I think he's got 2nd round in the bag and might actually go late in the first with the amount of QB hungry teams... of course, he'll have to continue to impress at the combine...

Chad Henne to the Lions ?

Andy, why would you wish that for someone? It's bad enough our future head coach (now ex-future head coach) Scott Loeffler has been bitten by the toxic kitties, please don't wish that on chad too.
Plus I don't think Chad's eligible- he's not a receiver.

OMFG we have a winner! Check out Larry Foote's comments about MSU on WDFN's Stoney and Wojo show Tuesday afternoon.
"...let's just go there and make it a big parking lot, tear the whole school down"
And that's just the beginning.
Holy Shit.
What's the over/under on how many days the Spartan fans talk about this? I'm saying 263.

i really hope chad does not go to the lions. that team is god awful. one of the early mock drafts had hart and henne going to the pats.

Larry Foote's comments, while funny, are not needed at this time. One day in the next century Sparty will beat us in football (although they will likely have to cheat to get it done...) and there will be hell to pay.
Why can't we all just get along ???
- January 30, 2008 10:07 AM
- surrounded in columbus said...
here's the problem w/ that logic. some day during the century the sparties will beat us, and there will be hell to pay no matter what we do or say in the interim.
as Bo said (like quoting god), they make more out of a single win than anybody. we beat them 5 or 10 times in a row and all they'll do is talk about that 1.
when we do eventually lose, every hotel clerk & farmer in the state will wear their puke green and flaunt their big win. when you point their previous X losses in a row, they'll just gloss right over that and start talking about their last minute win in '01 or how Gibson "schooled" us or how George Perles had the "tougher" team.
so, if we're going to take shit from these hayseeds, we might as well earn it.

I am not sure if Yost realized just exactly how dangerous offering up an open thread to this group of people could be. It should be interesting to see where this goes today ;o)

Oh, and Joshua, what did I miss? What is with the new avatar? Is this your new girlfriend? :P You could of at least picked a new avatar that the girls would like!! SIC and his puppy is a great example. (And Whets should leave SIC alone about his cute puppy avatar)

I think it's actually a league rule that the Lions must struggle at the qb position (with occasional one-year anomalies allowed), so sending Henne to the Lions would most definitely destroy his career before it got started. I mean, the Lions are brutal on coaches, but I think they're even worse on qbs.
(Although Lions coaches do provide some of the most entertaining quotes. Bus ticket out of town, the bar is high ... )

Ok which team is worse on QB's Da Bears or the Lions?

Wow, I was really annoyed that my screen wasn't loading properly, then noticed that Bray had included like eleventy-billion spaces in his post and I hadn't been using the scroll bar. I'm now barring myself from picking on stupid people for a week.
If you paid proper attention to my posts (like all the other girls do) you'd have seen this yesterday:
Dezzi posted a link saying that people who don't read the Freep miss out on articles like this.
My reply:
"Dez, I had no clue I made the paper. That's right, my real name is Frank Kozumplik, and I'm a drunken lawnmower driver. And I look amazingly like a soccer mom, as displayed by my avatar."
Kozumplik? Seriously? You can't make that shit up.

Cannot go to the link joshua... It's freep.com.
However, Sparty sure let the whole blogosphere know about their little moment of glory this weekend at Yost -- Foote will definitely get their panties in a knot.
We have never seen Michigan coaches run up the score, but I wouldn't mind seeing R2 "hang a hundred" on Sparty this fall.

Plaxico Burress predicted the Pats score only 17 this weekend. Tom Brady's response....
"(Laughs)... We're only gonna score 17 points? Okay. Is
Plax playing defense?"
All the time with a big grin on his face. They're gonna unleash hell on Sunday and score like 45. Brady is God.

Is it IMPOSSIBLE that the score will be 23-17 Giants?
I mean, I really don't have a dog in the hunt, I am just sayin'...weirder things have happened.

- Joshua said...
Well as owner of Bradyisgod.com (save your time there's nothing there yet) I have a bit of a dog in the hunt. Plus I'm juts a big Pats fan. After being a Lions fan of course, but do they actually count as pro football? While not impossible that the G-men win 24-17, Bellichick has had 2 weeks to prepare. The Pats have been there before. Brady is the QB. Welker. Moss. A Manning on the other side. I just don't see it happening.
That having been said, I'm nervous as all crazy hell.

I can't bring myself to root for the Patriots. They have the same fans as the Red Sux....If the Patriots do this, they will be insufferable for the next century.

Wait ... what's an email woman, and where can I get one?

An email woman is a blowup doll with a laptop attached (for checking your email). You see, I believe in multi-tasking, which means my threesome fantasy isn't perverted- I'm merely striving to be more efficient.

In preparation for Sunday, here's a bit of reminiscing from and about Tom Brady, much of it on his Michigan years:
The second link includes a photo for T9 - it's not much, but it's a closeup, and I'm sure he's looking at *you*, T9.
(You too Katie, er, Catie - what's with the "C"?)

- Catie said...
HA! BLUE, you get the prize! I wondered if anyone would notice.
Long story, but in writing and publishing research, it goes under my legal name, which is Catherine. The "K" in Katie was causing a problem and so I am changing it to Catie. It seems very strange, so if I change back, don't be too surprised....LOL.

Alice Donut's lyrics take on what they view as the perversities, odd details, and petty humiliations of life. Their lyrical subject matter focuses on topics including depravity, domestic violence, sexuality, and eggs. Add in a trombone-based version of the Pixies "Where Is My Mind" and you've got a brand new Alice Donut classic!
LP is on 180 Gram & limited to 1,000 copies!
"One of the stalwarts of true alternative and underground music have returned with a new release on their old label as Alice Donut celebrates thirty years of confusing and delighting listeners. Ten Glorious Animals will fit in quite well with any Alice Donut collection, as the band creates a challenging, funny, and multi-faceted record.The opening "Mrs. Carradine" is a bit too meandering for my taste but "No More Room" and "Wide" reminds people of the post-punk roots of Alice Donut. "Wide" is particularly hilarious, as it recounts the story of Idaho Senator Larry Craig's encounter in a bathroom stall. "Why can't you bitches get off his back?/ He's got a wide stance, man./Time to go into biblical rehab man". Other impressive efforts include the dysfunctional love affair detailed in "Lorelei and Henry", the warm vocals of Sissi Schulmeister on "Don't I Know" and the self-deprecating "Shiloh". (Gonna get famous and rich/Got a gig with the Unsane and 7 Year Bitch) "Old Dominion" and "Prog Jenny" are two awkwardly timed, mid-tempo rock nuggets that will confound listeners with their lyrical content and musical dexterity. ("Would you prefer to die at sea all alone or be smothered by a candy striper at home?" asks Tom Antona) "The Cavalry" is a gentle piece that surrenders to an atypical rendition of the Pixies' "Where is My Mind?"Alice Donut is not for everyone and Ten Glorious Animals stays true to their history; it is great to see a band remain committed to a sound and an unconventional approach to making music."- Jersey Beat
"Want to know what Frank Black would sound like if he were a trombone? Alice Donut has the answer... This cover is of The Pixies' classic "Where is My Mind?" Alice Donut nailed it. The screaming guitars, the thick rhythm, the overall tone of the song were all left intact. The only thing missing was ole' Black Francis. But even Frank couldn't see this one coming. Alice Donut replaced Black's vocals with the most lively, vocal replication I've ever heard from an instrument, a trombone. With the trombone bellowing out note-for-note Black's vocal keys, the song becomes an instant classic for cover song fans.
The disc, Ten Glorious Animals, is not at all what I expected. Instead, it's sort of a light-Butthole Surfers punk episode, with lyrics ranging from the political landscape to stories about touring. It's a nice introduction to a band that really never received the attention they may have deserved.... This album has plenty to get excited about. The songs are fun, laced with wailing guitars and the raw simplicity of a band that just wants to play music because they can.The 10 originals on Ten Glorious Animals are well worth the price of admission alone. Alice Donut puts out a solid, reserved punk sound that in 2009 could easily be compared to someone like None More Black... After 16 long years of Alice Donut never finding my playlist, they've finally made it. I've found it's never to late to fall for a cult band, and luckily for me, Alice Donut has given me lots to catch up on."- Sonic Dissonance
"Alice Donut was a band that rode beneath my radar back in the day; I was always aware of them, and had heard them, but never really listened to them. Now with the release of Ten Glorious Animals, I am planning on remedying this, and thinking about looking back at was I missed.
Alice Donut is a bizarre mish-mash of styles, ranging from fuzzed-out punk rock, hard rock, psychedelica and a liberal dose of darkly melodramatic cabaret, and Ten Glorious Animals weaves its way from sound to discordant sound in a manner that cements its tracks, providing cohesion and elevating the album from a mere record to a work of art.
The album opens with "Mrs. Carradine," a dark plodding surreal tune that conjures up what it might have been like had Peter Murphy masked up to front the Residents. This surreal theatrical bent resurfaces later on the exquisitely bizarre "Esophagus," which drapes off-kilter lyrics about blenders, jet skis and plantains on top of perfectly swirling fuzzed-out guitars.
Beyond that, it gets hard to pin any sounds on the band, or even consistent vocal stylings. The album picks through Jesus and Mary Chain-inspired fuzzy punk on "No More Room," blasts through Nick Cave-fueled dark rock on "Shiloh," and the sassy psychedelica of "ProgJenny" can't escape the idea that it's what might have happened had Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie written the "Hurdy Gurdy Man."
Are we done referencing everywhere Alice Donut has gone with this record? Not even. "Wide" is a toned-down dirty tune with riffs straight off Sonic Youth's Sister and Sisters of Mercy-styled vocals, "Don't I Know" is dark yet upbeat blast with a post meets Seattle sound, "Old Dominion" is shades of straight-up Bauhaus with quirky instrumentations piled on for color, and "Cavalry" tastes like downtrodden acoustic glam.
The album wraps up with a cover of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" and even that is a perfect piece of art, opting to replace the vocals with the characteristic "Wah Wah" of a trombone that sounds for all the world like the perfect transmogrification of Frank Black into a brass instrument.
Ten Glorious Animals is an album that touches me as a music fan, a lover of art, a fan of the bizarre and a punk rocker at the same time. It's so straightforwardly wonderful and beautifully twisted that even if it leaves you scratching your head, you'll know you heard something amazing."- about.com
"For much of the 1990's, Alice Donut was the only thing that kept Alternative Tentacles Records afloat. As lawsuits from various former members of the Dead Kennedys piles up, this was one of the few acts that actually put money back in the coffers. There was a time when they almost broke big, but the world was never quite ready for their decadent style of unfriendly music. More than a decade later, and back on Jello Biafra's San Francisco-based label, Alice Donut is once again turning heads. This latest effort is a little tamer than their earlier work, but it still gives off their classic Mudhoney-on-acid vibe that is really difficult to describe, but even more difficult to stop humming along to. Some songs sound like classic 1960s psyche-rock and others have more of a post-punk, happy pop feel to them. The crown jewel of this disc, though, is a cover of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind." It starts off very faithful to the original, but soon melts into a fully instrumental, troubling and heavy-handed version of the classic song. The result is twofold: we are reminded of what a good songwriter Frank Black can be, and we are shown how easily his singing voice can be replaced by a trombone." - Slug Magazine
