shout out to lefty for the idea. anyways, free feel to air yourself out, voice your emotions, people you may have a problem with on here, and etc. just feel free to write whatever you want. it's basically a free zone.
anyways, i really didn't know what to first say to kick this thread off first but even though this really wasn't what i wanted to talk about. i became came out to this web forum where i've known the posters over there for years. they basically knew me as the "emotionally unstable 20 something year old virgin living at home with no job and no friends that couldn't get a woman or pussy to save his life." it was basically a wild overexaggeration where people let their imaginations go off with. they might tell you about the whole long drawn out episode than i could.
the funny part was some of them were cool with it. half of them were ready to with me over it and most of them or at least almost everybody thought i was lying, was trolling or was just surprised as in i couldn't be that. "oh shit, you're gay?", and all of these reactions that i wasn't suspecting. very few of them actually suspected that i was gay or thought that it made since. about 2 people were actually upset with me because they had high hopes for me getting pussy and finally dating a woman. to them, they thought like it was a good tv show that jumped the shark.
anyways, pretty soon, the homophobia of the forums came towards my way where people started dissing and making fun of me for being gay. it's been annoying but at the same time, it's not like they've been able to run me off of the forums. they can say whatever but i'm still going to be there, doing whatever i do regardless.

Review Details
Falstaff Motorcycle Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on April 5, 2012):
- Got this from my lovely wife for Christmas. Have had a strangely warm winter so I have got some riding in with it. Just bought and new BMW R1200 GSA and am really putting the miles on now! Has been warm, dry, and vents well when the weather has been really warm. Only in a couple of rain storms so far but stayed quite dry. Has a bit if an odor but was expected and now it smells like FUN. It is rapidly becoming the best jacket I have owned. Will report back later in the season.

Revisiting a decision they made last month, Henderson County commissioners voted 4-0 Monday to ease conditions they placed on a mile-long utility easement through Jackson Park to spare the city of Hendersonville from losing funding for a major sewer project.
Revisiting a decision they made last month, Henderson County commissioners voted 4-0 Monday to ease conditions they placed on a mile-long utility easement through Jackson Park to spare the city of Hendersonville from losing funding for a major sewer project.
Hendersonville Mayor Barbara Volk asked commissioners to reconsider conditions they placed on an easement granted April 17, allowing the city to install about 5,500 linear feet of gravity-fed sewer pipe from Jackson Park Road, near the ballfields, north to Four Seasons Boulevard.
The easement allowed the city to replace a 20-year-old pumping station at Jackson Park, which caused a major sewer spill in March 2011 into nearby Bat Fork Creek, with a $3.9 million sewage "interceptor" line.
Seeing the potential for a new section of greenway, commissioners had made their approval contingent on the city allowing biking and walking along a maintenance road slated to parallel the sewer line. That would have required bridging three creeks.
"As someone who walks on the Oklawaha Greenway several days a week, I understand the commissioners' desire to have additional multi-use paths in the county," Volk told the board. "However, the timing and cost of this requirement present serious obstacles to completing the project."
The city was awarded a $4 million low-interest loan from the N.C. Division of Water Quality's Clean Water State Revolving Fund to replace the antiquated pump station at Jackson Park, Volk said. But to qualify, the city faces a July 1 deadline.
City and county staff worked cooperatively to route the new sewer main through an area that would disturb the least amount of park structures and activities, Volk said. Together, they chose a path through a wetlands area along Bat Fork that requires permits from state and federal regulators.
"If the plans must be reconfigured to include bridges and multi-use trails, at an estimated initial cost of well over $200,000, we would not be able to meet the deadline and would not receive the loan," Volk said, which would delay the project indefinitely.
Commissioner Mike Edney, who suggested making the easement greenway-friendly last month, said discussions with city and county staff convinced him to alter the easement's conditions.
"It would be quite expensive to do the trails and to do the bridges," he said. "I'm not saying that we'll never do it because I think it would be a great enhancement, but I don't want to jeopardize this project. It's a good project."
At Edney's suggestion, commissioners — with Vice Chair Tommy Thompson absent — deleted the provision that bridges be installed across the three creeks for bikers and hikers. But they added several new conditions to the easement:
• The city will lay fine gravel suitable for biking and hiking on top of courser gravel along roughly 1,950 linear feet of the maintenance road. The county will maintain those sections after construction, replacing any gravel that washes away in floods.
• The city will deed to the county a .98-acre parcel that is currently part of Field 8 at Jackson Park, "so that what we're using actually belongs to us," Edney said.
• The city will agree to grant a right-of-way across an 11-acre parcel it owns between Jackson Park and the county's new athletics and activities center at the former Hendersonville Christian School, creating the possibility for a new section of greenway between the two recreational areas.
The new conditions "give the county something in return for the easement and gives all our citizens better access to our parks," Edney said.
Volk said she thought City Council would approve those agreements, adding that she appreciated the commissioners' willingness to revise the easement.
In other business, commissioners approved their three appointees to a new 15-member regional water and sewer authority board recently approved by the General Assembly.
From three nominees submitted by the town of Mills River, the board chose Larry Freeman as one appointee. By a 3-1 vote, Chairman Charlie Messer and Commissioner Larry Young were approved to be the other two representatives. Commissioner Grady Hawkins voted for Young and Fletcher Town Council member Sheila Franklin.

I think I've definitely found a new favorite...
Zoya nail polish in Vanessa
thats sooooo perfect! only one coat? amazing!ReplyDelete
Love Zoya polish! gorgeous color!ReplyDelete
Loving the red!!! Nice for Fall!ReplyDelete
I love red polish! It looks greatReplyDelete
that is ONE COAT! WOW!!!!ReplyDelete
Ooooh how pretty :D have you ever tried China Glaze's Ruby Pumps? that's a glorious redReplyDelete
you should try OPI matadore red its gorgeous. pretty much the only red that I can wear.ReplyDelete
I too am enjoying Zoya nail polish. I like that they don't have the same icky chemicals as OPI. I like just about everything about them except I do prefer the color names of OPI so it is hard for me to switch completely because of that. How nuts is that! hahaReplyDelete
oooh pretty! i'll have to buy it! oh and i love your new main pic on here its super pretty <3 as always, duhReplyDelete
o-o omg!! love this color...really pretty!!ReplyDelete
Looks so pretty :DReplyDelete
Did Zoya send you this? Can you please tell us when you get stuff sent for free? Sometimes we feel cheated.ReplyDelete
I really like it! :)ReplyDelete
Anonymous-- cheated? I don't say whether I get stuff for free or not because to me, that's just saying that I'm not being honest and easily swayed.
It's not even an issue to me. It truly DOES NOT matter whether something is sent to me or bought, I'll give it a straight review either way. I don't talk about probably 70% of things I'm sent. Same as stuff I buy. I think by now, people and companies know that about me. I'm completely honest and not naive enough to just talk about stuff that was sent to me right away for the heck of it you know? I've had this polish for about 3 or 4 months at least and have never mentioned it or used it, so that should tell you something.
It's just never crossed my mind to mention becuase in my case it does not matter in the least and I'm not advertising anything-- I'm giving beauty advice and helping people out. I do this for you guys and myself, not companies. :)
Love ur reviews Tiff! : )ReplyDelete
Tiffany, forget the haters! You just keep doing what you're doing cause honestly girl, you're amazing at it.
The polish looks super pretty on you, I've had my eye on Zoya for a while..
we value your opinions, that's why we watch, ignore anyone who can't see that.ReplyDelete
I appreciate the review on Zoya! I've been buying Zoya due to the low chemical formula, but find it oh, so hard to pick colors. What you see on their site is sometimes not what you get at home.
San Diego
Maybe it has something to do with Sigma? You gave those brushes a great review but you also have videos on their website. People want to know that you're affiliated with certain companies because they want to know they're watching/reading a fair review. That's why the new FTC regulations were put into place.
Bloggers were reviewing products made by companies who were giving them various freebies (like the products themselves or even trips). Some of those bloggers would give great ratings regardless of quality just to get more free stuff. I don't trust PurseBuzz's or Koran's reviews as much as I used to because of their obvious affiliation with Coastal Scents.
If someone is sending a blogger free stuff to review and they know they'll keep receiving free stuff if they give a glowing review (even if it's not so great), then why wouldn't they continue to do so? Makeup is expensive and addicts will get their fix however they can, lol.
I'm not calling you a liar or anything-I love your videos and blog. I've trusted you from day 1 and the thought that you're "cheating" us has never crossed my mind. I know you're fair. I'm just applying what I've thought of other bloggers recently. There's not a big stink about this for nothing.
seriously, how the f*** do you feel cheated?????? It's not like she got a polish for free and then told you to go buy it! She's not even telling anyone to do anything, she is just reviewing a product she has. You can get it if you want, it doesn't matter whether she got it for free or not.
Personally, I cannot afford almost any of the stuff she reviews, but I still like to read them in case I do get a chance to purchase them. But it doesn't make me feel cheated! I honestly cannot understand how that word even got into this situation.
you are only cheating yourself if you are gullible enough to go and buy everything anyone reviews. use your own common sense!!!ReplyDelete
I love your reviews and love how you tell exactly how you feel about the product.
I kind of understand the second anonymous post but don't at the same time because why would you want to keep getting free stuff from a crappy company that sell crappy product? it doesn't make sense to me.
Anywho keep doing your reviews exactly like you have been you're true followers won't care if it's free or not.
i think im going to try it, i really like it. dont worry about the crap that people say, if they really knew what you were like they wouldnt be saying those things. your true fans know you <3ReplyDelete
try china glaze ruby pumps its the best red i own and works for all skin types! and what's great is that its a red jelly with lots and lots of red sparkles! love love that nail polish!ReplyDelete
I like Delilah by Zoya. It is red with lots of sparkle. I have pics of it on my blog if you want to see it, Tiffany. :) It is actually my most recent post and what I have on my nails now :)
http://awesomevegan.blogspot.com (I hope it is okay to post my link if not feel free to delete my comment.)
hey girl, this has nothing to do with all of the above, but i just got some products at MAC. the holiday collection is out and i bought some mineralized eyeshadows. have u tried any of them? i wanted to know what ones you got and what you think of them. i feel that getting your view or opinion on things is like talking makeup with one of my girlfriends here in LA.
love your work and keep it up!
Love your work Tiffany! Oh did you get any of the new Mac items from the Magic, Mirth and Mischief collection?ReplyDelete
Red polish is my favorite. My grandmother had long fingernails and she always wore Revlon Red nail polish. Maybe I get my love of red from her. I think I have more reds in my polish collection than any other color. It makes me feel good when I put it on. :)ReplyDelete
You may give positive reviews on only the stuff you like if you got it for free or if you bought it. BUT that doesnt mean all "gurus" on youtube do. Thats probably why that person mentioned it.
There are two sisters on youtube specifically who brought all this drama to the youtube beauty community in the first place. The reason is because it has now been proven that they get PAID by companies to do a review but then they turn around and LIE to their subscribers and say "Ive never been paid!"
I think thats why peopl eare becoming a little skeptical of everyone.Its too bad a few bad apples had to ruin it for everyone but thats the way it goes I guess.
Also as a consumer, people do have the right to know if you got something for free or even were paid by a company for a review. Thats why the FTC has made it mandatory or face an $11 000 fine, come Dec 1 2009 for all bloggers, youtubers etc to mention each and every time they get a free product or payment. Its that big of an issue.
I know you "don't get it" but like I said before its because of the shady people that ruin it for everyone else.
For example, if you were reading a review in a newspaper on 2 movies and you knew one movie paid the reviewer for their review and the other one didnt and LO AND BEHOLD the movie that the reviewer recommends is the same movie that paid them for the review. Would you trust that review????
What if you had no idea they were paid for the review?? Wouldnt you feel that as a consumer you have the right to know before making any purchasing decisions???
The people who lie in their reviews and about if they got a product free or even paid to mention it are the ones to blame. Nobody else.
Where can I buy this Zoya nail polish?? Ulta?ReplyDelete
Stunning shade of red!!!!
Loverrlieee, thanks for posting.ReplyDelete
'Anonymous' if my two sisters you mean AllThatGlitters21 and JuicyStar07 then please um, shut up. They are amazing gurus, just like Tiffany. If you were being sent things for free, I'm sure you wouldn't complain. So why are you being hypocritical and saying it's not fair? Just deal with it.ReplyDelete
This is nice especially for Christmas!ReplyDelete

How often do you change the sheets/pillowcases of your primary bed?
Do you iron the sheets after they out of the drier? You know for that nice crisp feel?
How often do you change the sheets/pillowcases of your primary bed?
Do you iron the sheets after they out of the drier? You know for that nice crisp feel?
Usually once a week. As for ironing, hell no! I use flannel sheets year round and like to put them on the bed right out of the dryer.
I change mine about every other week. I'm alone, and I don't sleep naked, so I don't see the reason for changing more often. No ironing.
Silly maybe, but I just bought a new bed. Full (double) perfect size for a guy my size. And, I'm pretty well convinced I'll sleep alone for the rest of my life.
If not, it's the perfect guest bed.
It's time to change mine. I need to remind myself to do that tomorrow. :/
I change them when they need it
I never iron anything...
I think around 2002 was the last time.
and it hurts with every heartbeat......
I change my sheets once a week in winter and sometimes twice a week in summer. I do not iron sheets. I try to fold them neatly. I have never got the hang of folding the bottom fitted sheet. If there were a college course in fitted sheet folding, I would be first to entrol. How can you be anal compulsive and not be able to fold fitted sheets into neat squares or rectangles? It is a burden I must bear.
Once a week.
I saw this guy on Oprah (I don't watch her often... usually I'm at work) but there was this guy there talking about the importance of cleanliness and they showed what lives in your sheets after one week of sleeping and it is absolutely disgusting.
If you haven't washed your sheets in a while, go wash them now with bleach in the hottest water possible... *shudders*
Every other Saturday. I don't iron them either. I fold them immediately out of the dryer.
once a week and no ironing....or after some hot sweaty sex....which means once a week....for what seems like years
Weekly. I have to because I have dust mite allergies. If I don't change them within 2 weeks, I'll be sneezing constantly. No ironing though. I don't see the point of that.
Once a week as well.
Sometimes I'll change the pillowcases mid-week.
"Separate... Unique...
Neither can exist without the other."
I change them every Sunday morning. I shower at least twice a day and more often in the summer. If I have company and we make a mess, I will change them the next morning.
Once a week.
Iron? Isn't that a food supplement?
And let's just say I'm getting better at changing my sheets more frequently after all the news stories of bed bugs. I never thought there really were such things.
sheets, daily...pillow cases, weekly...ironing, optional
There are people who love command and in their eagerness to assume it they are impatient at the formalities of takingover from someone else. I love command since it is the ideal welding of freedom and slavery. You can be happywith your freedom and when it becomes too dangerous you take refuge in your duty.
-Ernest Hemingway, True at First Light
Thanks Lord for the Housekeeper.
Everytime, I get up, close and personal with another dude.
Otherwise, twice a week.
All fully ironed and crisp. Nothing like it.
I love my bed.
couple of times a week on average.
At the least once per week
Once a week,the pillow cases are another matter.I change them every other day.I love the feeling of fresh cases on my pillows.
Laying in the gutter but looking at the stars
I think mine get changed about 2 times a week.
I don't do it and just kinda notice when Mary has changed them.
To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world.
I change my sheets maybe once a month... well, I notice they need changing about once a month, and then I keep putting it off as long as I can, which is usually until the next weekend but can be up to another month.
For the last ten years, I've only had one set of sheets for my bed, so when my sheets get dirty, I have to wash them before I can make the bed up again. But I just bought a new set of sheets (they're really pretty, too... a color called Starfield Blue), so I can actually change the sheets rather than taking them off and washing them and putting them back on.
This will probably bring my average down to every two or three weeks. Honestly, I don't think they need it more than that... there's no sweating or jizzing or drooling or santorum going on in my bed, so it's not that big a deal.
And ironing? Never! I like the wrinkles, they make me look younger.
* Question the Dominant Paradigm *
Santorum, eh? Didn't know that one!
Every other Wednesday (today) because I do the laundry every other Thursday.
I think about every month and a half...perhaps every month. Usually I wash them after I've done 2 loads of laundry with the third load. But if they feel wrong and dirty, time isn't a factor.
Once a week, sometimes twice in sweaty weather in summer. And god they are never ironed!
" Lets blow this fascist popsicle stand!" C.Montgomery Burns
I don't have sheets, I have a blanket below and above me, I've never liked sheets. At work they make us change them and wash them every Saturday morning. I change my bedding stuff though once they start to kinda smell or the dog hair gets too thick... lol
Once a week...but sometimes more depending on particular bedroom activities.
I usually put them back on the bed once they have been washed and dried. If I am using a different set of sheets, then I'll fold the old ones and store them in the closet.
"Ill simply assert that I believe most gay men possess three genes that arent shared by a large portion of the population. Those genes are Quality, Taste, and Style." - Tim Gunn
No less than every 2 weeks. They get uncomfortable after that.
I hate to iron and only iron what I absolutely have to. My iron's laughing right now in the other room at the very thought of it.
Where did you guys find out they should be washed? Is this an old wives tale? When I got them a few years ago I didn't see anything on the label indicating such a requirement. Do you think I could sue the manufacturer?
So how do you take them off the bed anyway? They appear to be stuck.
I change sheets twice a week. Only buy quality sheets with high thread count. I iron everything except the sheets.
You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.
I'm embarassed to say that I don't change them as often as I probably should--- but I do starch and iron the pillocases (only)--- it's wonderful!
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact.

This collaborative endeavor between the Federal Highway Administration, the state of Illinois, the city of Galesburg and BNSF created or supported nearly 140 jobs and is set to reduce traffic congestion and emissions and improve roadway and rail safety in the region.
"If we want to compete in the global economy, Illinois must have a world-class transportation system," Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said. "This grade separation improvement will cut down travel times, alleviate traffic and rail congestion and improve safety in Galesburg for decades to come. Not only did this project boost the regional economy and put hundreds of people back to work, it provides a solid foundation to address traffic demands well into the 21st century."
The project separated the current at-grade crossing at the double set of BNSF tracks located on West Main Street by constructing a new roadway overpass for vehicles. The new West Main Street segment also consists of five lane approaches, retaining walls on overpass, new traffic signaling, street lighting and a four-lane bridge deck with additional pedestrian improvements, including a safety fence, sidewalks, curb cuts, aesthetics and landscaping. Construction on the project started in July 2011.
Main Street is the second busiest street in Galesburg, with nearly 100 trains utilizing the crossing at speeds of 30 miles-per-hour each day. Approximately 9,400 vehicles drive on West Main Street each day. Prior to the project, the average time for a vehicle to wait at a train crossing was four to five minutes.
The project received an investment of $14.5 million from Gov. Quinn's six-year, $31-billion Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program. Those funds supported $809,000 from the Federal Highway Administration and $806,150 from BNSF.

Exodus from A2 Continues
Then, Justin Boren left Michigan for the Buckeyes.
Now, just when it seemed things couldn't get worse during a tumultuous off season in Ann Arbor, The Rock is packing up and heading to Michigan State.
"The family values have just gone in the shitter since Rich Rodriguez arrived," said The Rock when reached for comment by the MZone. "He's always yelling, using language like 'Paint the motherfucker!' And that Barwis guy wants people to paint me harder. I didn't sign up for that."
The Rock (no relation to the actor) said he just feels more comfortable next to the MSU "Sparty" statue where he will now be placed. "They do it right up there. They protect Sparty from getting painted before the U-M games. I was taken for granted in A2. Getting painted, two, three times a week."
"Plus, the Sparty statue is as close to a Michigan icon as you can find. They're very similar. Except for the fact that he's a big semi-naked bronze guy and I'm a stone that started out the size of a pebble before 165,872 coats of this goddamn paint over the years."
In response to a story in the MSU student newspaper, WE KAN SPELL AND SHIT, former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr angrily denied reports that he helped The Rock get his release from Michigan or said there were "good campus icons" in East Lansing.
When reached by the MZone, other Michigan icons The Cube and The Belltower denied they too were thinking of transferring. Even still, Detroit Free Press columnist Drew Sharp claimed The Rock's departure is yet another sign of Michigan's declining status.

no great loss. while the Rock was pretty typical of most michigan players over the last few years, it didn't figure to fit into the new regime.
the Rock's time in the 40 was pretty subpar. it didn't do well in the agility and flexibility training. it didn't fit into its role in the new offense. it didn't like chocolate milk. also had a bad attitude.
truth is that the Rock wasn't going to play much anyway.
the rocks that stay will be champions.

You guys are shameless. I can't believe you're trashing your own rock for leaving when RR as put ZERO rocks in the NFL during his time at WVU.

The Rock was marginal at best, and would consistently get beat by anyone with two feet. His weight was always an issue.
His complaints of "errosion" are totally unfounded, though.

drulz actually said something funny.
maybe there's hope for him afterall...
and for the record,
R2 will have access to an entirely different level of rock now that he's at michigan. if you compare his level of rocks to don nehlen's rocks in the nfl during his first 7 years as coach, they're nearly identical.

"R2 will have access to an entirely different level of rock now that he's at michigan."
Bull Crap! That myth has been exposed. The talent drain from Ohio to Michigan is down to a drip or to stay true to the analogy: pea gravel size. Michigan's talent pool is now equivalent to say...Indiana?
There's not enough chocolate milk in Wisconsin to compensate for UM's tepid talent pool.
The rocks that stay will be highway base for the Big 10 truck that runs over them.

I think you guys are kidding yourselves if you think RR is going to be able to recruit top rated rocks. At least Carr proved he could get you to the NFL even if you test poorly on the Wonderlic and spend all your time being stoned.

the topic is "rocks" leaving, not "players who shot bricks" leaving. subtle difference.

Thanks for the clarification... I normally get my rocks and bricks messed up.
Can we make a shift in the conversation about whether or not Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would quit the new UM S&C program?

I think this is good sign for WV. If RR was adept at recruiting rocks out of WV their whole economy might collapse.

Drew Sharp once again missed the real story. The administration of Michigan State University will implement a program in which students will have to break rocks in the hot sun. The MSU President relates that he is just getting the students ready for life after graduation. Most estimates report 100% of MSU grads eventually end up in prison, so they might as well learn this valuable skill while in school. Breaking rocks seems to be THE skill most students could relate to. Since the students have destroyed most rocks in central Michigan, they had to look to their neighbor to the south in A2 for help in locating rocks for their program. Once again, the generosity of University of Michigan comes through.

i don't know- i sorta like the concept of a "dual treat" QB.
less menacing and more positive than "dual threat".

re: the academic program.
with The Rock's departure, does that mean that the undergraduate geology course will be dropped?
ie--no more "rocks for jocks"?????
oh, and you can COMPLETELY forget about Slippery Rock scores.
there will be NO mention of Rocks who aren't here......

I ask about Pravda because your propaganda skills are amazing. Only Pravda could take a negative story and somehow put a positive spin on it.

"So many people I know, including many women who are not trans-identified but whose gender presentation to some degree transgresses the gender norms of their context, have had the experience of being asked if they are in the 'right bathroom' or told they are in the 'wrong' one..."The current solution is single stalled bathrooms with no gender designation. There are 73 on the Harvard Campus, but there are complaints that it's not enough.
"So many people take it for granted that they can use a public bathroom," [says Trans Task Force student leader Jia Hui Lee '12.] "For those who are trans and gender non-conforming, it's much more difficult to use a bathroom in public."In the early 90s, I visited Harvard Law School and met some women who were extremely concerned about men getting into the women's bathroom. You needed a code to get through the lock on the door. Interesting how these issues cycle around over the years! Thoughts of the likelihood of sexual assaults in such spaces stirred up notes of anger. But now, it seems that what the good people are supposed to believe is that only retrograde women are worried about sharing the bathroom with men.
Critics of expanding access to gender neutral bathrooms say that they increase the likelihood of sexual assaults in such spaces, but the concept of individuals of different sexes sharing the same restroom is not all that radical, according to Marco Chan '11, Queer Students and Allies Co-Chair.
"Everyone lives their gender in different ways, so this is everyone's business," he says with an uncharacteristic note of anger. Chan is arguably the most prominent face of the gay rights movement on campus, and this media-savvy spokesperson rarely gets angry in interviews. This is an issue, however, of paramount importance to his organization. "We all know people who bring their small children of a different sex into the bathroom, people who have caretakers of a different sex assist them in the bathroom. Gender neutral bathrooms will simplify the way we all live our lives. This is not just transgender or queer people's business."

With a little TLC, the clone could turn out to be better than the original. [23 Sep 2002]Houston Chronicle Full Review
Caruso is terrific as ex-homicide detective Caine, the red-haired actor's comfortable, moodily soulful new crime drama alter ego. He's the charismatic point man in CBS's superlative, tautly crafted "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" spin-off. [22 Sep 2002]Detroit Free Press Full Review
Fans can relax; the franchise is in good, and possibly even better, hands. [23 Sep 2002]USA Today Full Review
Flexing the foolproof formula and first-rate production values of its predecessor, this spinoff quickly proves to be a turn-on. [23 Sep 2002]Dallas Morning News Full Review
A sleek whodunit with a superb cast and great promise. [22 Sep 2002]Orlando Sentinel Full Review
As TV art, CSI: Miami has a fatal flaw. The spark of originality is missing. But who, besides a few critics and professors, is going to worry about such things? As a viewing experience, it's as good as any series on television. [23 Sep 2002]Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
This just feels like the show "CSI" should have been all along. [23 Sep 2002]Kansas City Star Full Review
A very watchable hour of TV. [23 Sep 2002]Miami Herald Full Review
The premiere episode is smart and tense, the TV equivalent of the book you can't put down. [23 Sep 2002]Washington Post Full Review
What's partly holding "CSI: Miami" back from being great is that, as in the original "CSI," the whole premise is too pat.San Francisco Chronicle Full Review
While it's certainly not the most innovative new show this season, it knows exactly what it wants to be, which isn't a full-on copy of "CSI" but close enough to seem familiar. And it delivers the same slick, well-produced, well-acted sort of analytical whodunit as the original. [23 Sep 2002]The Detroit News Full Review
The acting is first-rate. [23 Sep 2002]New York Daily News Full Review
There is more tension to the interaction between the characters and more emotions in play. [23 Sep 2002]San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times Full Review
Taut and stylish.People Weekly Full Review
I like Caruso as leader Horatio Crane; the actor's way with quiet anguish is suited to his role as a grim, relentless crime-scene examiner. But after that, my reservations begin.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Taut and tense, show boasts the twists, turns, gadgets and gimmicks made famous by its Las Vegas-set progenitor. It could, however, use a dash of personality --- everybody is relentlessly dour. [20 Sep 2002]Variety Full Review
Not surprisingly, the stylish "CSI: Miami" is as engaging as "CSI," if you can't get enough of the science of mortal disaster. [23 Sep 2002]Boston Globe Full Review
Step by step, it's all very fascinating and as well-produced as television gets.Los Angeles Times Full Review
"CSI: Miami" is a carbon copy, for sure, but it's a copy of an efficient show millions of people enjoy watching. [23 Sep 2002]Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
The quality simply did not go in before the "CSI" name went on. [16 Sep 2002]Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
Despite its good cast, "CSI: Miami" is just too familiar and cookie cutter. [22 Sep 2002]San Diego Union-Tribune Full Review
If you can accept the dramatic license, the dearth of Hispanic characters and Caruso's tendency to mumble, "CSI: Miami" is certainly as good as its competition. [16 Sep 2002]Seattle Post-Intelligencer Full Review
The dialogue, when it's not establishing authenticity with technical terminology, offers up bad puns and trite truisms unworthy of an otherwise crisp production. [22 Sep 2002]Chicago Tribune Full Review
There's no question that the new show looks different. ... That said, there is something familiar about "CSI: Miami," maybe too familiar. [30 Sep 2002]Newsweek Full Review
C.S.I.: Miami is very slick, very clever, and very eager to please.PopMatters Full Review
It's strangely devoid of drama. [23 Sep 2002]Boston Herald Full Review
Something's amiss here. The new "CSI" is a little stilted, a little obvious. [23 Sep 2002]Newsday Full Review
Caruso is stiff and grim, and the crew doesn't click with him or one another. [23 Sep 2002]St. Louis Post-Dispatch Full Review
The new show doesn't feel like a clone, but it also seems to be missing the spirit of what made the original such a success. [23 Sep 2002]Newark Star-Ledger Full Review
While everything on the original "CSI" works - the concept, the actors, the script, the direction, the characters - nothing (did I mention nothing?) works on "CSI: Miami." [23 Sep 2002]New York Post Full Review

My 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX, equipped with a 4.6L OHC "Modular" V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and a healthy dose of torque built on the MN12 platform.
I have owned "Lightning" for about 2 years now as both my main project car and previously as my daily driver.
Even with some of the issues she had due on one part to poor previous ownership and on another to the harsh climate here. I really love this car for a lot of reasons and I find it impossible to let it go.
I just recently got her off the road to begin the resurrection project after I found another daily driver (1999 Ford Escort SE). One of the biggest parts of this challenge is not working on her though, it is actually demolishing the old garage and building a proper one in it's place, so that I can actually work on the project properly and safely.
I will post the to-do list of everything I am doing to Lightning on here eventually.

In short, it's a poem recited by Paul Harvey 35 years ago about God's creation of farmers, which is in direct relation to buying a Dodge truck. I'm assuming they're referring to the Book of Jesus H. Chrysler, Chapter 10, Verse 11, which says "Thou shalt buy a Hemi to tow thy load." Which, as we all know, is in the New New Testament.
Maybe it's because we're both city boys, but the two of us couldn't really relate to this commercial or this poem, so we wanted to make our own version. We give you...
"So God Made a Writer"
And on the eighth day, God looked down and said, "Holy shit, Twilight? Fifty Shades of Grey? Seriously, this is the pinnacle of quality storytelling in the world? We need to do something about that, NOW." So God made a writer.
God said, "I need someone who's driven to do what they do by alcohol, who stares alcoholism boldly in the face and says 'not today, cirrhosis of the liver; I've got a chapter to wrap up'." So God made a writer.
God said, "I need someone to wake up in the middle of the night with a brilliant story idea and then quickly forget it, who will beat themselves up mercilessly trying to remember this truly amazing idea only to realize days later that it was actually a very stupid idea." So God made a writer.
|*Because it's 16 inches and weighs 8.4 lbs
God said, "I need someone to write with pure grace and elegance, to pen a story with charisma, and yet be the complete opposite in public gatherings. Someone who is hard to talk to and socially retarded. Because I have a deep fondness for irony." So God made a writer.
God said "I need someone to breathe life into the written word, only to watch it die in an Internet chat room full of 13 year olds saying things like 'u r teh nOObs!' and 'lulz wht a fagit'!" So God made a writer.
And that's why God made a writer. And spellcheck. And rubber underpants.
The end.
Cheers and stay classy, folks!

The CIA is polygraphing its operatives on a regular basis in an "unprecedented" effort to prevent Benghazi secrets from leaking out, CNN's Drew Griffin is reporting, citing unnamed inside sources.
"Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings," the bombshell report reveals. "The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress."
More from CNN:
It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.
In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, "You don't jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well."
Another says, "You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation."
The CIA responded to CNN's report in a statement, claiming it "enabled all officers involved in Benghazi the opportunity to meet with Congress," according to Jake Tapper.
It has also been revealed that as many 35 Americans were in Benghazi on the night of the deadly terror attack, CNN reports, citing anonymous inside sources. As many as seven were wounded and 21 Americans were reportedly working in the building known as the CIA annex.
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) told CNN that the revelations represent "a form of a cover-up."
"We should have the people who were on the scene come in, testify under oath, do it publicly, and lay it out. And there really isn't any national security issue involved with regards to that," the lawmaker said.
There have been reports and rumors about the U.S. government possibly being involved in the transfer of weapons out of Libya, through Turkey and into the hands of the Syrian rebels. The theory has been analyzed thoroughly on TheBlaze and TheBlaze TV, but many questions remain.
According to the CNN report, the CIA and the State Department were the two U.S. agencies operating in Benghazi. The State Department has denied being involved in any transfer of weapons to other countries, though it clearly stated they "can't speak for any other agencies."
The CIA, on the other hand, would not say if they were involved in any transfer of weapons to other nations.

Upton's choice puzzles weather watchers
By Mike Bauman |01/11/13 12:10 AM ET
It appears that Justin Upton would prefer to spend his summers in Phoenix rather than Seattle.
It's Upton's life. It's Upton's career. It's Upton's choice. But those of us who have been in both Phoenix and Seattle in the summer are allowed a raised eyebrow. Or two.
According to reliable reports, Upton rejected a proposed trade that would have taken him from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners have been seeking an impact bat, and they have some prime pitching prospects who make them attractive trading partners.
Upton, 25, has a clause in his contract that allows him to block a trade to four teams, one of which is the Mariners. Upton apparently declined to waive that clause after Arizona and Seattle reached an agreement on a deal.
Upton has three years and $38.5 million remaining on his contract with Arizona. He has been the center of trade speculation for some time. That speculation has only increased since the D-backs acquired free-agent outfielder Cody Ross. Arizona has an outfield surplus, with Ross, Upton, Gerardo Parra, Jason Kubel and rookie Adam Eaton.
The Mariners, meanwhile, earlier acquired first baseman/designated hitter Kendrys Morales for pitcher Jason Vargas in a trade with the Angels. But they want and need to do more to bolster their lineup. A trade with Arizona, getting Upton for prospects, looked like a sensible move for both clubs. But apparently it didn't look so appealing to Upton.
Observing the Phoenix/Seattle options from the outside, let this be said in an objective manner: Seattle has a truly delightful summer climate. Meanwhile, the average daily high temperature in Phoenix is 100 degrees or more in four consecutive months, June through September. And the trend on those temperatures is not moderating.
Arizonans say, "But it's a dry heat." So is an oven, but you might not want to summer there, either. I'll admit, I'm thrilled to pieces to show up in the Valley of the Sun for Spring Training every year, and I have very good friends living there. But in the summer, the term "oppressive" comes readily to mind when contemplating the Arizona climate. In the winter, of course, you'd rather be in Arizona's climate. But that's not when baseball is being played.
There is nothing wrong with the D-backs' park, Chase Field. Hey, the air conditioning works, so what else could matter? But the Mariners' Safeco Field is one of the top three or four ballparks in all of baseball. It's a gem.
There's some cultural distance between Seattle and Phoenix, too, but anything I say on this topic risks understatement, so let's move on.
Both of these organizations are in good baseball hands, with general manager Kevin Towers in Arizona and GM Jack Zduriencik in Seattle. Based on last season's results, the Mariners (75-87) have a little further to travel than the D-backs (81-81).
Both of these clubs are in difficult, but not impossible, competitive situations. In the National League West, the D-backs are not only faced with the Giants, who have won two of the last three World Series, but now have the Dodgers taking over from the Yankees as the biggest spenders in baseball. In the American League West, the Mariners have to deal with a proven Rangers club, the A's -- who emerged to win the division last year -- and the Angels, who are also spending without apparent restriction. The AL West had the game's highest winning percentage last season. The addition of Houston could change that, but at least last place shouldn't be an option.
Upton, meanwhile, has never been with another organization. He was the top pick in the 2005 Draft, and he was in the Majors little more than two years later. He has been with two division-winning teams in Arizona.
The evidence suggests that he likes it well enough to stay. And the most recent evidence indicates that he has voted for Phoenix over Seattle at the first opportunity. We can all understand that in January, but in June, the edge will go in the other direction, and it won't be particularly close.

Which Celebs Do You Think Are Closeted Homosexuals or Bisexuals?
Which Celebs Do You Think Are Closeted Homosexuals or Bisexuals?
I can only think of TAY-TAY right of the bat...
You cant change the way the wind blow's, but you can change the angle of your sail to take you somewhere else!!
I can think of a lot that are the subject of rumours and wishful thinking, but there are some that ping my gaydar. Taylor Lautner and Kevin Jonas are two that I suspect might be gay.
Besides the aforementioned Tay Tay and the obvious Joe Jonas it's fairly apparent Macaulay Culkin is, at a minimum, bi along with Zaccy Poo.......
Ryan Seacrest surely is chasing dick.......and much younger dick at that.
The Italian "Lake Como" wasn't nicknamed "Lake Homo" out of the blue either.......
I wish there was something conclusive at to how Taylor Hanson swings.......
Chace Crawford.
Tom Daley, Tim Tebow, Taylor Lautner
Tom Cruise
John Travolta
Taylor Lautner
Joe Jonas
Louis Anderson
Chace Crawford
Zac Efron
Ryan Seacrest
Eddy Murphy. Johnny Depp.
My big ones are
Joe Jonas (Gay)
Colton Haynes (Bi)
Taylor Lautner (Gay)
Matt Dallas (Gay)
Chace Crawford (Bi)
As for Zac Efron, the only real evidence is persistent, but totally unverifiable rumors and hearsay. A friend of a friend of mine actually swears up and down that Zac tried to pick him up in a gay club when he lived in New York last summer, but he claims that turned him down because he only goes for black guys. I know that the guy does, indeed, only go for black guys for some reason, but I still call bullshit. But hey, you never know. It might be a true story. Personally though, I don't actually think that Zac is gay or bi - but at the same time, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he really was.
This list is gaydar certified
Rafael Nadal
Richard Gasquet
Jamie Fox
Tom Cruise
John Travolta
Taylor Lautner
Johnny Depp
Tyler Perry
Eddie Murphy
Danell Leyva
Shawn Michaels
Chris Tucker
I'm definitely thinking Tom Cruise now, and at least one of the Jonas Brothers.
I kid you not; when I first saw the promo for married to jonas I thought "That's sweet. E! is covering gay weddings now." I rolled my eyes when I saw the title.
Louis Tomlinson
From what I hear, these are consistently backed by industry folks -
Colton Haynes
Taylor Lautner
Joe Jonas
JC Chasez
Chace Crawford
Shawn Pyfrom
Louis Tomlinson
Harry Styles (Trust, he is NOT the womanizing, cougar-loving, sleeps with everything that walks and has a pussy "Harry Styles" that 1D's horrific management have perfectly crafted him out to be. When that truth is revealed, people are going to shit themselves).
Matt Lanter (though he is getting married to his super Christian gf, and is a devout Christian himself...make of that what you will).
Will Estes
Jacob Young (Bi)
Peter Porte
Wes Brown (Bi)
Richard Armitage
Luke Evans
Todd Cahoon

Tom Cruise
At the beginning of his career the rumours were very persistent about Channing Tatum being bi.Seems to have died down since his career has taken off.I think he was probably gay for pay.
Logan Lerman, for some reason.
Since I'm here, I might as well answer the original question of the thread.
Channing Tatum (HA!)
James Franco (depends who you ask, I don't think he's GAY, he's BI)
Colton Haynes (and most of those actors he's seen with aren't straight, either)
Kathy Najimy
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (bi and seems to have a taste for really unattractive men imo)
John Goodman (Yes, HIM)
Louie Anderson (he's not out, right?)
John Mayer (bi; has had boyfriends, been seeing making out with men in gay bars, CASE CLOSED as far as I'm concerned)
Michelle Rodriguez (I've seen her fight with her girlfriend and then make-out with her)
Hugh Jackman (even E! has called their marriage an "arrangment." Boy George called him out, too)
Gavin Rossdale (bi and yes it has affected his marriage)
Robert Downey Jr. (heard too many stories around town over the years, he may be faithful to his wife now, though but whatevs)
Jared Leto (I'm not sure what his situation is, but I'm certain he's not straight)
Kate Walsh (PLEASE)
Fucking PINK (She needs to just cop to it and move on, for heaven's sake)
Eddie Murphy (and he's a freak too)
Bruce Willis
David Beckham (I don't know why, I don't think he's GAY, and his looks aside, he has pinged in all the years I've seen him)
Rihanna (but she's kind of open with her shit, right?)
Alexander Skarsgaard (bi)
Angelina Jolie (that's obvious, and apparently she's still active about hers, because Chris Rock and Nia Long was talking about her a few years ago)
Ashton Kutcher
Ellen Page (she's been "outed" before)
Keith Urban (just a vibe, and the simple reason he's married to Nicole Fucking Kidman)
Jake Gyllenhaal
Just an FYI for everybody...I live in Hollywood, as maybe a few of you do, and after living here for a long time, usually I find that if a rumor about a celebrity being gay/bi/cheating/alcohol-drug issues DOES NOT DIE, 80-90 percent of the time, it turns out to have some truth to it. There's exceptions sure, and some might argue with me about it, but I find the rumor to end up being accurate.
I always thought that George Clooney might be gay in the end..
i've heard rumors about graham patrick martin (what a sweet mouth he has)
drenched guys ... long-haired guys ... foodsex guys ...
dude i hope eminem is bi!

Here is a youtube video about him being a little drunk doing some "open-minded" dance with another hottie! Look at about 2:20 that he is up on his legs that he has a semi-hardon that bulges his tight pants!
Also a strange and weird thing about Christopher Meloni that he might also be a little bisexual and I love the idea of it. He is a sexy motherfucker!
Matthew Morrison (Bi)
Adam Levine (Bi) he's a bit diva and kinda sissy
joe jonas, taylor lautner, ryan reynolds

Like most people,most celebrities are between 1 and 5 on the Kinsey scale.Which means that they are bi to some degree.
Sexuality is very fluid.
you break my heart by saying that about sam worthington....i wanna devour his taint
Is there anyway i can take any of this seriously? Where did you get your research??
If it was true....too bad about Channing Tatum, you would think he could've had same sex encounters if he worked around other male strippers!
^ Seeing as how Montreal IS so close to Hollywood....... .......I'm sure as if those about whom he speaks were sucking dick on his front yard....... .......or not as the case may be........
Some black celebs I think are:
John Legend
Will Smith
Kanye West
Taye Diggs
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Marlon Wayans
Damon Wayans
LL Cool J
Lenny Kravtiz
Derek Luke
Dr. Dre
50 Cent
Henry Simmons
Jameer Nelson
Vince Carter
Victor Cruz
Deron Williams
Baron Davis
I think there might be something fishy with that George Michael.
there is no way llcoolj is gay
Taye Diggs maybe but Will Smith definity bi
besides going by rumors, i think there's some guys are suspect and are basically tossing signs outthere primarily through standing up for lgbt causes or lgbt related things. the question is are they just showing support or interests in lgbt things because they're tolerant and not ignorant or is it because they themselves are lgbt.
with that said, whoever mentioned the actor from true blood and james franco. i THINK those two are suspect. i remember thinking it was odd for alexander skarsgard to be showing a general interests in gay rights doing a "it gets better" video and james franco, he's quite obvious. i don't know about the alex dude but i think james franco is most definitely gay or bi.
another person who i think is suspect that didn't make the list is jamie foxx.
but for the most part, until proven otherwise, i think everyone in hollywood and the whole world is suspect. you never KNOW who's who. there's the obvious ones and then there's the guys you LEAST suspect. i actually heard rumors about certain people that have NEVER came into the gay or bi rumor mill actually being gay or bi. i'd say names BUT you never know who's floating online.

By Associated Press – Nov. 5, 2012|
JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. (AP) — The caped figure on the surveillance video came running out of the darkness to the edge of a remote Army outpost in southern Afghanistan. Blood was smeared on his face, prosecutors said, and soaked into his clothes.
Less than a mile away, 16 Afghans, including nine children, were dead, some of their bodies on fire in two villages.
As fellow soldiers stopped him at the base's gate, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was incredulous, prosecutors said. Then, as he was taken into custody, Bales said, "I thought I was doing the right thing."
The details, from a prosecutor as well as Bales' comrades, emerged Monday as a preliminary hearing in his case opened, offering the clearest picture yet of one of the worst atrocities of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The March 11 attack prompted the U.S. to halt combat operations for days in the face of protests, and it was a month before military investigators could reach the crime scenes. Read More

LayerD is an effort to develop an extensible framework for programming languages. It features unlimited compile time programmability, modular design, pluggable code generation, unified high level semantics, multiple source languages, integration of RAD tools with compilers and languages, development of domain specific languages, development of abstract software, extensive features for code generation and meta-programming. Its implementation is able to implement software for .NET and Java bytecode using one high level language that is extensible by programming compile time functionality. There is a Java front-end that allows programming for this new framework using a well known language.

It applies a unique approach to handling XML that allows your application code to focus on the application rather than traversing DOM or subscribing to SAX events. The most unique feature of the XMLFoundation is the object oriented encapsulation that provides XML support in the application layer. XMLFoundation allows you to easily integrate XML with your GUI or with your server objects, and it natively supports COM, DCOM, and CORBA objects.
Treep is a simple language for doing symbolical computations. It operates on numbers and strings that can be organized in more complex objects. These objects are lists of name-value pairs that are stored in memory as AVL trees. It has about sixty built-in functions to operate on such data and a way to define new functions. Treep syntax very much resembles Lisp. The power of treep is its simplicity and security. Treep is a good tool do process objects and relations between them. For example it is possible to define graphs as a sets of vertices and edges in text file, parse that file, do any computations you like, write modified data to text file. Treep works well on graphs, trees, linked lists, simple hashes. Treep is not good at processing texts, dealing with system input/output.

Here's an interesting article...
At first glance, Jamal Sampson's statistics are minimal, averaging 1.2 points and 1.6 rebounds.
But when it comes to saving money on the road, the Nuggets center might have the top numbers on the team.
"I'm the Subway king," said Sampson, prouder of that crown than some have been after being named player of the week. "I don't do room service. I'd rather walk."
Sampson, making $798,112 this season, makes hitting the pavement in an opposing city profitable. NBA players receive $106 per diem on the road for meals and incidentals.
When the Nuggets show up at the airport today to begin a five-game trip, each player will be handed an envelope by athletic trainer Jim Gillen containing $799 in crisp bills. That's for seven days and a prorated day for dinner at $57.
Players can use the money as they choose. They can order room service at a ritzy hotel, which could set them back more than $80 for a meal.
Or, like Sampson, who figures he pockets half his per diem, they can take to the streets.
Then again, it's not out of the question some players could see a large chunk of their per diem vanish before the plane lands tonight in New Jersey in preparation for the game Tuesday against the Nets.
"Man, we gamble away that money right away on the plane," said Nuggets guard DerMarr Johnson, referring to high-stakes card games. "We put it right into the gambling pot."
But Johnson, making $932,015, has his limits. He said he pulled back on a recent trip, not wanting to play for money with some of the higher-salaried players.
The average NBA salary is $5.5 million a year, and the good life doesn't stop there. The teams stay at hotels some marketers now say are six-star. The per diem is $21 more than baseball and hockey players receive.
"It's a nice little benefit," said Nuggets center Marcus Camby, whose salary this season, including bonuses, could exceed $10 million. "They take care of us. But in those fancy hotels, that per diem is probably enough for a breakfast."
Camby is exaggerating a bit. But Nuggets forward Reggie Evans recently dropped $85 for a room service afternoon steak at the swank Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco.
Portland Trail Blazers center Jamaal Magloire spent more than $80 last week for a room service steak at The Westin Tabor Center.
"It feels like free money," Nuggets guard Steve Blake said.
Sometimes it is. Meals are served on team planes and spreads often are available in the locker room after games.
The man Nuggets players love to see at the start of a trip is Gillen.
Before each month, he determines how many nights the team will be on the road and sends figures to the accounting department.
On partial days, players are paid about $57 for dinner, $30 for lunch and $19 for breakfast.
Gillen gets the envelopes for each player before a trip. With 13 on the roster, that adds up to $10,387 for this voyage.
"They put their names on (the envelopes)," Gillen said of the accounting department. "I take it to the airplane, and they have to sign for it. I give them the envelope, and away they go."
Gillen keeps two.
Forwards Kenyon Martin and Carmelo Anthony request all their per diem at the end of the season. So Gillen locks up those envelopes until the two are ready.
A Nuggets player going on each preseason and regular-season trip would finish with 26 envelopes and the total take would be about $7,500, though taxes must be paid on about 40 percent of per diem.
Martin, out for the season after undergoing right knee surgery in November, and Anthony, suspended for 15 games earlier in the season, haven't gone on all trips.
"I give them to my nieces and nephews," Martin, making $11.8 million, said of what he does with his envelopes. "They got the price on them. I take it out and count it and give it away."
Martin isn't the only high-salaried Nuggets player willing to part with his per diem. Camby gives envelopes on some trips to guard Yakhouba Diawara in exchange for certain chores performed by the team's only rookie.
Diawara, making the rookie minimum of $412,718, carries some bags and sometimes brings meals to Camby. It doesn't sound as if Diawara buys much for himself.
"There's nothing over a $10 meal for 'Kouba,' " Sampson said. " 'Kouba' will walk three miles. He'll walk around the whole city just to save some money."
Diawara scoffs at Sampson's claims. He said there are days he has only $10 remaining from per diem and spoke about having a $24 breakfast and $40 lunch on a recent trip.
Sampson, though, is proud to be regarded as the team's most frugal player.
"Subway. Quiznos, I'll go to whatever sandwich shop," he said.
Call Sampson the Subway king or the Quiznos king. It might depend on which is giving back the most change.
Per diem through a sampling of NBA players:
• Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony felt like a kid when he joined the NBA in 2003 and was told the per diem amount. "It's kind of like allowance," he said. "One-hundred dollars a day. That's crazy."
• When guard Chucky Atkins played in the Continental Basketball Association in 1996-97, he received $25 per diem. "It was Burger King, Subway, IHOP, Waffle House, Denny's," Atkins said of his restaurants of choice. When Atkins, now with the Memphis Grizzlies, made the NBA in 1999-2000, he continued those eating habits but soon learned from veterans. "They told me you've got to fuel your body with some good food," said Atkins, saying the advice has helped, and he now uses the bulk of his $106 per diem.
• As the Nuggets' only rookie, guard Yakhouba Diawara has added duties. But don't think he's not compensated. "Sometimes I give it to 'Kouba,' " center Marcus Camby said of his per diem. "He doesn't have the big contracts like a lot of us. I take care of him. I've bought him suits, PlayStation and an iPod." For Camby's generosity, Diawara sometimes carries bags and gets food for Camby. But it doesn't sound like he's overworked. "I just help him out, nothing too much," Diawara said.
• Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is making $12.5 million this season. When he was out for 2 1/2 months earlier this season because of a broken right leg, he was asked by a Houston Chronicle reporter why he went on a certain trip. Yao quipped it was so he could get the "road trip per diem."
• Forward Eduardo Najera is perhaps the Nuggets' most energetic player. He makes sure he doesn't waste his energy on the road trying to save money on food. "In my first two years in the league, I'd go to places like (Denny's)," said Najera, who broke in with the Dallas Mavericks in 2000-01. "But I learned from the veterans it's better to get your rest rather than go walking around. It's an investment to stay off your feet and get (hotel) room service and pay the extra money so you can perform better."
• Money for food? Yes. But New Or- leans/Oklahoma City Hornets guard Devin Brown uses his per diem for a lot more. "DVDs, video games, batteries, headphones. Stuff like that," Brown said.
• A lot has changed in a year for Rockets rookie forward Steve Novak. He played last season for Mar- quette. "We got a $110 check every two weeks," he said. "That's about the same as we get in the NBA for one day."
• So do players dislike two games in two days? Not necessarily. "I love it when we have a back-to-back," Nuggets center Jamal Sampson said. "That means we get free breakfast." If the team's second game of a back-to-back is on the road, the Nuggets have a breakfast meeting at the hotel instead of a shootaround.

The association recognizes safety achievements in the shortline railroad industry for railroads that achieved injury-free operations or an injury frequency rate in 2012 that is less than or equal to the industry average compiled by the Federal Railroad Administration.
Last year, CBR won the award for injury-free start-up operations. The shortline's 12 employees operate weekly freight train service, connecting the region's manufacturers to the North American freight rail system through Class 1 connections at Eugene, Ore. Currently, the Coos Bay rail line is undergoing $31 million in repairs and upgrades.
"In the 15 months since the rail line's start-up and throughout the reconstruction project, it's been imperative for us to keep the focus on safety," said CBR General Manager Tom Foster. "The CBR team members have managed operations efficiently and grown business on the line, all the while, without a single lost day due to injury. I'm proud of every employee."

When two anal gas excretions are mixed together to make one smell so horrible that it causes someone to pass out.
After Tom and Bill get done saddlebacking each other for hours on end, they like to end their romantic session by creating a big convergence for themselves from their newly stretched anal parts. Then they hold and caress each other softly while they slowly drift off to sleep.
