Home-brewed Barbecue Sauce
Comment on this recipe
Gravy Master may be hard to find, but I have found no equal to its ability to darken gravies and sauces.
46-ounce can vegetable juice
3 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, optional
1 teaspoon Gravy Master seasoning sauce
3 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup cold water
Combine all ingredients except cornstarch and water and simmer in a medium soup pot on low for 2 hours or place in Crock Pot on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. After simmering, bring to a slow boil (pour sauce into a medium sized pan if using a Crock Pot). Mix cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir slurry into sauce and continue boiling at a slow boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Allow sauce to cool and place in jars or freezer bags. Makes approximately 6 pints of sauce. Use in one week or freeze. The sauce could be canned.

Baby Hat/Scrapdown
Recently I've turned to my bag of sock yarn leftovers for instant gratification knitting. I tend to have a lot of yarn leftover after knititng a pair of socks or a shawl, and I've found it's enough to make a baby hat. This go-round I didn't even have to use stripes, which means there was a lot of yarn leftover. You may recognize the hat on the left from these socks and the hat on the right from this shawl. It was a lot of fun to play with these yarns again in a completely new way.
I improvised both these hats, with no set recipients in mind (though there are a few friends with babies coming soon). Random yarn, random pattern…it all added up to some seriously relaxing knitting! And it feels really good to use up those 1/4 skeins of yarn.
How do you like to use your leftover bits of yarn? Let us know in the comments!
July 6, 2012 3:36 pm
I have used my leftovers once for a striped shawl. I had a ton of scrap yarns in similar colors mainly in blues and grays. What I really loved about using my scrap yarns was all the different textures that resulted in the finished shawl, for I used different weights of yarns. What I want to make with my scraps next is stuffed animals.
I love you wee hats, super cute!

As usual a high quality product from Craftsman. Found it on sale so it made it a great buy. The case is good for us less organized people.

Not sure who is making the ratchets for Sears but they have been increasingly unreliable. Actually, I don't think the quality of the ratchets match those of **************.

Easy to read is correct. Makes finding what you want much easier. The case is very good for keeping all the tools in thier correct place and all together when not in use. Also makes them portable to take with you when needed.

I got this tool set at a great price during sales. It is a great starter tool set that includes most of the useful sizes. It doesn't come with the socket for plugs though. One thing keep in mind is never opening the case upside down. I learned my lesson by spending minutes to put back all the sockets to their own places.

I have used Craftsman tools for years. This set of Mechanics Tools is everything that I expected in the product. Easy to operate and packaged great. Fitting these into a smaller package is a plus for transporting in our car. Thanks, Sears for your continued quality!

I have a workshop detached from the house where I keep my large sets. Got annoyed running out every time I needed a simple socket in the house. This set is great for in the house with 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets. Not as many filler pieces as the 'bigger' sets which prove useless, which is another reason I chose this box.
Gobles, MI
via sears.com
THE PROS: Easy to read the sizes great for older eyes or low light * the case is large and has storage space for extra tools. Still available as made in USA if you know where to look as (think Sears Outlet or Hometown). Smaller sizes 18mm down to 4mm and 13/16 down to 5/32. Nice for motorcycles, garden tractors, home appliance repair, bicycles etc. Long handle 3/8 ratchet (extra torque) plus standard 1/4 ratchet for finer work. THE CONS: The ratchets are home owner grade, though soaking them in chainsaw bar oil will help smooth them out some. The case is big and bulky for the number of sockets you get. This set has no 1/2 drive so you will not be pulling lug nuts off a 4 wheel drive truck or repairing farm equipment with these tools. All the deep wall sockets are 1/4 drive nothing in 3/8 deep not even a sparkplug socket. CONCLUSION: If you work on smaller stuff and you can find the USA made version on a good sale this set it is a steal. If you work on large equipment or have to pay near full price get a larger set with 1/2 drive like either the 154 or 192 piece set you will be a lot happier.

The most inspirational shows during Paris Fashion Week to me are not those full of too-pretty looks but the anti-mainstream ones. When a fashion designer does not fit into the trends (which is known as an "outsider") and doesn't try to set or match the trends — this is what I think is seriously cool.
When this whole idea about seasonal trends is dead (which I believe is a matter of a few years) every fashion designer will want to become an outsider. It's actually more complicated than fitting into the trends or even being a trendsetter.
Cedric Charlier – Instagram-it-on
The printed looks impressed most. I've had this weird kind of feeling that I have seen something familiar before. Not on clothes but in general life… Instagram! They really looked like those fabulous instagram filters!
This may not become a major trend. This is not even what the designer had in mind making the collection. This is not what fashion critics would find in this collection. But I couldn't care less about all this if I was wearing an instagram-looking print on.
Dries Van Noten – the check invasion
First time you see this collection you won't understand it. Second time you see this collection you will get curios. Third time you see it — you will fall in love with it. That's exactly what happened to me. Be attentive — check is hidden (or not really) everywhere. Check and organza? Check shirts under the evening dresses? Check & organza tuxedos (!!!) ??? Check, check, and check! When you least expect it — it's there.
I tried my best to choose the best say 10-15 looks. I failed. It's almost all the collection here.
Gareth Pugh – Diane Pernet, vampires and bell cut
It must be Diane Pernet -inspired first look of Pugh's SS13 collection followed by bloody ideas everywhere else — vampires, perfect red, threatening hairstyles and bell cut. Bell-bottoms and bell sleeves are probably the rarest guest in modern fashion and thus a great cure for being "on-trend".

My dog would scratch like crazy after each trip to the groomers, even when I paid extra for hypo-allergic shampoo and conditioners. Bought Thera-Neem for the groomer to use, with veterinarian approval. It made a big difference. Thera-Neem is SOAP FREE and made with organic ingredients. Neem is soothing and moisturizing for sensitive skin. There are no harsh chemicals, no parabens and no lauryl sulfate in this product. It is also virtually scent free. The consistency of the product is thinner than shampoo and needs to remain on the coat for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing for best effect.This shampoo does a beautiful job and really whitens and brightens the white portions of her coat. She scratches much less and I do not smell any phony perfumed fragrance on her coat. No more conditioners necessary, either. My dog is happier, and so am I.

I have been sourcing for good shampoo for many years, as my dog has sensitive skin. Till recently, my dog suffered from flea infested, which causes his coat to be very patchy, and very coarse and dry skin. So i just bought this Neem shampoo to give it a try, as i read that neem is an effective pest repellent and very good in healing skin. After the first time usage this shampoo, my dog's coat turns out to be so soft and nice! It even helps to minimise its itchy skin problem! Currently, i am using the second bottle of this shampoo and my dog is recovering for flea allergy! His newly grown coat is really soft, moist and thick !

This has a very subtle, clean smell that leaves your dog smelling 'clean' not like a perfume factory. It lathers well and rinses clean. My dog was super shiny and had a silky coat. It didn't cause any irritation to her skin. Will definitely buy this again and reccomend it to all pet owners. Thanks!

Yes kids, it's that time of the year again. The time when we take our annual trip out to that tiny, remote, isolated, spec of land that is found in the middle of the Ocean of Zilch… Schnide Island. It's that desolate place where players are stranded until they're able to cough up payment for a ticket on the only boat off the island.
What's the price of that ticket? Scoring their first goal of the season is required to get them off "The Schnide".
This contest normally begins in late October/early November after the list of players still residing on Isle de Schnide dwindles down to about a half-dozen or so. Those players are then offered up as finalists in the "Who'll Be the Last Thrasher Off Schnide Island?" contest. You, the readers and contributing commenters of this online forum, then have the opportunity to offer up your best guess as to just who will be the one sole, remaining "survivor" left on the island after watching others score, then depart.
Actually, it's kind of a reverse Survivor contest in that, unlike that TV show, being the last one on the island is not a good thing.
Just last week I started putting the list of contestants together, but I've had to alter it after each of the last three games. Starting last Wednesday night in New York then continuing Friday night against Buffalo and Saturday evening in St. Louis, no less than six of the remaining players began a mass exodus off of Isle de Schnide. The mass migration has seen forwards Bryan Little, Nic Bergfors, Eric Boulton, Nik Antropov, Rich Peverley and Alex Burmistrov each make their way off the island.
I guess word got out to them that the contest was getting ready to get under way again, and they just didn't want to participate…shrugs
What that leaves us with is five defensemen currently with the team that are still stranded on Schnide Island…Ron Hainsey, Zach Bogosian, Brent Sopel, Freddy Meyer and Johnny Oduya. Of those, only Hainsey Sopel and Oduya have played in all 11 games so far.
And while these are players whose primary responsibility is to help defense against goals being scored and not necessarily to score them themselves, these are the ones we are left with to select from nonetheless. So, let's take time to review this falls' finalist of "Who'll Be the Last Thrasher Off Schnide Island?"…
Hainsey scored 5 goals last season and made his way off of Schnide Island three games into the schedule. It came during a 4-2 loss in Ottawa. He has 1 assist and is a –3 with 12 shots on goal so far this year.
Bogosian just returned from a shoulder injury suffered out on the west coast and has played in only 5 games so far. He wasn't a finalist for the Schnide Island contest last year as he netted his first of his 10 goals on opening night. Bogey is yet to register a point thus far and is a –2 with 7 SOG.
Oduya only tickled the twine once in 2009-10, a goal which came during a 2-1 loss to Columbus last March after coming over from the New Jersey Devils. He's helped out with 4 assists and has gotten 15 shots off on goal, but is a –6.
Sopel also only scored once last year while a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. It came almost a year ago during a 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks last November 15. Sopes is a +1, has only gotten off 5 SOG and has netted an assists.
Who will be the last Thrasher off The Schnide?
Total Voters: 73
Meyer has been out the past few games with a "lower body injury" and has also only played in 5 games. He scored 4 goals while with New York Islanders last year, getting off The Schnide on January 19 during a 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He's pointless after 5 games played, has one shot to his credit and is a –2.
Now, before we begin the process of sharing our Schnide Island picks with one another, I do think it's worthy of pointing out that Fredrik Modin has come close to something of a first in regards to this contest. Never before have we seen a player score his way off of Schnide Island, only to find his way right back onto it during the course of the season.
But Modin has come pretty darn close to doing just that.
He got off The Schnide early this fall by scoring on opening night. But it would appear that the boat he departed the island on seems to have struck a reef and is taking on water. It's currently stranded on a sand bar and, if the next high tide does free it, looks to simply drift right back to shore.
Since opening night, Modin has no points and is a –8.
Some might suggest that the best solution to this dilemma is to toss Freddy a lifejacket, place him in a raft and send him in the direction of Waiver Wire Straights.
Note: Sorry for the delay getting this blog's Fan Poll up, but the tech guys downtown fixed whatever the bug was in the system and so I'm posting it up now…even though it's a day after the fact.

A good week for the Thrashers. 5 out of 6 points is not bad even with the 3rd period meltdown last night.
October 31st, 2010
10:15 am
I do not think Modin in long for this team. Hopefully management will recognize the mistake and bring up a young gun to take his place.
October 31st, 2010
10:37 am
Hate to say it, but Modin was a given for Schnide Island upon signing due to age and injuries. He was a gamble I wouldn't take, I just can't see him ever returning to form.
The only other person you've listed that really disappoints me for obvious reasons is Hainsey. His expected contributions aren't anywhere near being met and we probably pay way too much for him. Time to say "later Gator".
Again, no offense to guys like Meyer and Sopel, but what do we expect from them? My bars not high at all for those guys so I don't feel let down, basically whatever. Most rosters have guys of that caliber, that's par for the course. Learn not to rely on them and give them less ice time. Yes, I know that's the antithesis of Ramsey's tactics, but again nearly all teams have these types.
I really think Bogosian and Oduya are worth keeping, I'll remain hopeful for those two. I'd hate to see them go out of a lack of patience on the organisations part and watch them snap out of their ruts elsewhere. Very realistic.

October 31st, 2010
10:50 am
How pitiful is it that we can't bring up a player because it will put us UNDER the cap? Ridiculous.
Have to say, I am really enjoying watching the Devils meltdown and Kovy's lack of production this season. He was roundly booed in LA last night and may be even more despised by Kings fans than Thrasher fans.
As for last nights game, great first two periods but the "hold a lead in the third" bugaboo has got to be dealt with by Ramsey.
October 31st, 2010
11:16 am
Gotta say Ronny. I know he's a defenseman and he's not supposed to get a 30 goal year but he hasn't looked all that good the past 11 games. That said, there's a long season ahead and still some players out there still stranded on the island….
Go Thrashers

It will be Sopel – but who really cares, he wasn't brought here for scoring. Think he's something a menntor/coach type. Johnny O is having a tough time, but, he'll come around. The Strozer's bullhorn will motivate him.
And waive Modin – nice career, but, he's done!
October 31st, 2010
11:34 am
I say it'll be Meyer last off the island. He's the 7th D-man and will get less time on the ice to get his ticket punched off of The Schnide.
But I think the real question to answer is this: What will hapen first, all five of the players left on Schnide Island score their first goal this season, or Modin scores his next?
October 31st, 2010
11:41 am
For the purpose of calculating the cap number, the NHL must include bonus potential since there is no way of knowing who will earn what. If the bonuses weren't included at day 1 at the NHL office, then wouldn't ATL, COL and NYI all be slapped with financial penalties for non-cap compliance? I don't think the cheap bastards who own this team would ever let THAT happen, would they?
October 31st, 2010
11:50 am
For me, it's between Sopel and Freddy Meyer, waiving "bye-bye" to the dearly departed. Flipping a coin, with heads being Sopel and tails being Meyer, looks like Freddy Meyer will be alone on the island, drinking coconut juice. A natural laxative, by the way. When you're on Schneid Island, I guess you just hope for mermaids and friendly dolphins. Or washed up jettisoned bales of ganga, that traffickers ditched before being chased off by the Coast Guard.
Re: Modin, I'll have you know that these were the results of the "Modin Watch '10-11″ contest. Eighteen (18) votes for "over," and ten (10) for under. These voted for "over" –Derrick, Diego from Lilburn, Flames, five_hole, Simon, Tony C., Tom Lysiak, Kracker, ThrashyThrashy, Rob, FIF, Darkhorse, Rawhide, Jen, Sisu, dwayne, Smoothie, and GaVaHokie. These voted for "under" — Jeff97, Spud Webb, Hockey Biltong, Larry, Adam, R.Stroz, Red Light, Curly, Badger Bob, and Brendan.
Hey, don't look at me like that. There's still plenty of time for either side to win that contest. When the going gets tough, Modin's supposed to get going. A song by, Billy Ocean? Ocean … Island? Correlation?? I don't know. But I do know this … the Center Ice "replay" of last night's game starts at Noon, on Comcast Channel # 778. Lots of shutout games last night. I think there were five of them.

Tough loss last night, too bad they could not get it to a 3 goal lead. Scoring on the 5 on 3 would helped. Anyone have the historical % of scores from 5 on 3 advantages? The Thrash ran out of gas, clearly, in the 3rd. I also wonder if and seriously doubt that any other NHL team has played Friday-Saturday games for 5 weeks in a row.
Those were some tough goals against on the first and second Blues goals. No way did Sopel "knock McClement off his feet" as it was ruled and reported. It was difficult to see exactly why he did go down but he certainly was not x-checked or shoved down on the replays that I saw. So the game has regressed from the [non-]call on Hull's skate in the crease to last night's non-call of McClement's entire body in the crease, crowding and blocking Pavs movement for an easy stop. In fact the puck bounces off of McClement and over Pavs glove. I definitely call BS on that "goal."
The second goal was a normal but a bit flukey goal, fluttering straight up off Pavs glove and the one place not to go – straight back down and stopping dead in the paint a few inches from the goal line for an easy McClement rake in. I would have felt better if the puck had of just bounced in instead of dying there like a dead fish. But this is hockey and crazy **it happens.
Regardless, Pavs player well in his first game. I am heartened that we have two capable goalies. I see a lot of home games in November but I also see a lot of quality teams on the Nov. schedule, both home and away, with only perhaps FLA and CBJ at home as games that one could say the Thrashers "should" win. None will be easy. If we can finish November plus .500, the team will be somewhere in the thick of the playoff hunt.
Anyway, I am proud to be in the fan group that counts the point last night as a big point, I will take as many of them as the team can get. We should have had the win but the Blues, a good team at home, had other ideas. Any of us, back at camp, would have looked at being a game over .500 with 12 points as a worthy goal for the October campaign. On to November!
October 31st, 2010
12:11 pm
Sopel-but as previously stated, he's a defensive defenseman. I prefer he stops the opposition from scoring rather than worry about him scoring goals. Did not see last night's game, was at a band competition until late last night. Disappointed by the inability to hold a lead, again.
On the other side of commitment-the Calgary Flames have re-signed defenseman Mark Giordano to a five-year contract extension reportedly worth $4.02 million per season. What? Isn't this what got the Flames into enough trouble that they had to dump Dion? Giordano is a good defenseman, not great. Now is is a "payroll anchor" for the Flames for the next 5 3/4 seasons. Now that is stupid!
October 31st, 2010
12:18 pm
WBF, there must something the Flames see to his game that we don't. Or they want continuity. Or whatever. I wouldn't think the Calgary market "fears losing players," but I don't really know. It doesn't strike me that Calgary is like Edmonton, where it's truly difficult to attract players to the market.
October 31st, 2010
12:28 pm
Brendan-that type of commiment needs to be be reserved for core players, studs, not a "good player" like Giordano. Especially when the Flames had to dump Dion last season because they had too much money tied up in defense. This commitment does not solve their scoring issues. At least NJ committed long term to a star player (Kovy) not a good player. Giordano is never going to determine the outcome of a game over 60 minutes on his own. He is not Duncan Keith or Seabrooke.
October 31st, 2010
12:41 pm
Thought Hainsey had his best game of the year last night. The Blues announcers were amazed at the skills of Burmy. They could not get over his back checking skills and his great hockey IQ. If he stays healthy looks like we got us a great player for long time.

I predict Mason and Pavelec will stay on the island for the entire season.
October 31st, 2010
12:45 pm
Stroz – I disagree. Pavelec will score one.
Red Light – Maintain the same pace all year and this team gets 89 points, good enough for 9th or 10th, or am I being obtuse?
Honestly, it's about what I expect this year. 9th in the conference. I'll be quite happy if we make it to those magical games that come after the regular season is completed.

I can't in good conscience count defensive d-men as Islanders…oouh, that sounds bad!

Overall I'm pleased where the Thrashers are after 11 games played. If they consistently get 12 points for every 11 games payed that would give them 96 points after 80 games played. Key is to not fall into any prolonged slumps. Key to staying out of slumps is to hit the ice hard game in and game out taking no team for granted.
As for the Schnide Island contest, any of those guys could "win" that one. But I'll stick my hand in the hat hand pull out the name of…..Johnny Oduya.

WBF, Calgary is being … a little bit … mismanaged right now. Perhaps, it really was time to cut ties with the Sutter Brothers. The 2004 "miracle" season was seven years ago, but it feels more like ten. I have to say, though, that the Flames really haven't been in serious playoff drought, like they were, and used to be. From 1997 to 2003, the Flames did NOT make the playoffs. That's seven, long aggravating seasons, that were mostly without hope. After the 2004-run, the Flames made the playoffs for four (4) straight years. But, I suppose in the world of "bottom line achievment measures," the Flames never did win another playoff series since their run in 2004.
But I'm the sort who says, "Yeah, but … they had 'competitive series.' They lost in seven to San Jose in 2008. They went to seven games with Anaheim in 2006. They pushed the mighty Red Wings to six games in 2007. And they lost to Chicago, in six, back in 2009. That's not exactly 'stinking it up.' I'm sure Flames fans remember those 7 years of futility, when they served as nothing more than 'schedule fodder,' as Sage of Bluesland might say. Because Darryl Sutter was named GM in 2003, he's given credit for being the architect of the "miracle season" of 2004, and the playoff berths that followed. I call it the "Dan Reeves" effect. "But Dan Reeves got us to our only Super Bowl. You can't fire him!!" Yes, you can. And the Flames can fire Darryl Sutter, too. His Flames team isn't young. And it's overpaid. Kinda reminds me of the 2006 Thrashers, under Waddell. The Flames can either 'see it for what it is,' and correct it, or they'll endure what follows, which won't be pretty. I suppose, when a market has gone BONE DRY for 7 years, a season like 2004 can buy a GM a LOT of time. But, isn't the time up, now? Unless the prevailing thought is, "Just continue to get us into the playoffs, with 1st round exits, is good enough." I've never subscribed to that line of thinking. It reminds me a little TOO MUCH of the alleged "delighted" inhabitants of Section 116, that aspires to be the 15th-best team in the NHL, on an annual basis. Not meee. I'll take the lottery draft finishes to build a Cup winner, than a decade IMPOSSIBLY mired in mediocrity, with no real ability to ever turn the corner to a Championship season. I think Calgary has thought … that it fielded a team that could get back to the CF or SCF, but has underachieved. Hmmn. Interesting, if true. Everyone in Calgary remembers the hopelessness of those '97 to '03 years. But is what they're doing now … all that much better? It's hard to rebuild, when you're making contacts that other GM won't accept, in terms of a trade.

Speaking of the Blues announcers, they also referred to us as the Atlanta Predators, and the goalie as Ilya Pavelec. Sounds like someone had a few too many 8balls.
Stroz, you might be thinking of Hainsey.

on swedee modeenee, i thought the 14\56 contest was that he'd be a minus 14 with over 56 turnovers when he got released or by year end.

If we are stuck due to being so close to the bottom of the salary range,can't call it a cap can we, how about we find a team that has an over priced player they need to get rid of. Maybe not a complete Sheldon Souray but a 3 million dollar a year player. We can keep him as our 23rd player and just leave him there. That would give us the flexibility to field the team we want to.

Brendan, I expect more accountability from fans and media in a prime Canadian market like Calgary. I would have greated the news of Giordano with a bog "WHAT?". The signing creates a problem in Calgary similar to the problem theyt just fixed by trading a blue chip player to the hated Maple Leafs of all teams. Never mind dispatching Phaneuf to Atlanta or Carolina, he went to the Leafs, a Canadian team that Calgarians hate. Now the Flames have the same issue all over again; overpaid defense that is not great as a unit and an underwhelming set of forwards.

Y'all want the owners to spend more?? Then buy full-season tix. Waiting to get seats for 20-30% of full price, or not going at all, rather disqualifies you from beeotching about the owners group.

Thrashers will miss playoffs yet again. Wait. Still better team without Makeuillya Kovalchoke (hee hee how do ya like him now New Jersey?) and Sori Letemin. Craig Petrino has assembly molded into a team. Not one selfish feed me superstar plus a supporting cast but a TEAM. Talent marginal. Goaltending does not exist. Offense acceptable. However. A professional team which fails to score consistently with a two man edge is going nowhere. Fast! Exhibits total lack of heart. These Thrashers have no heart. Sad to say. But true. Great teams have great leaders. No Thrasher has stepped forward to fill that role nor is likely to. So instead of wrapping up an early playoff berth the Thrashers will be scoreboard watching late. Thrashers will be on outside looking in because of meltdowns like the one against Saint Louis. Losses are okay fans will continue to praise moral defeats which shows players that mediocrity is not only accepted but embraced. Bad precedent for fans to set! So enjoy the season. Few thrills ahead. Plenty of heartaches. No playoffs. So it goes. STENDEK

Alan, I heard that too. Ilya Pavelic and the Predators reference…there were a couple of other slips as well. Our Jeronovich drives me insane, but those guys are bad. With Jerome, it's just like he's either trying too hard, or being fed key phrases to use. He claims to be a hockey guy, but I don't buy it. He's just a sportscaster, which is fine. Just don't oversell yourself as a "hockey guru" when you're not.

Sopel. And I don't care if he ever scores one. He's out there to block shots and get the puck out of the zone.
Last night's first goal by the Blues was a joke. McClement flopped to the ice like a dead fish and should have been called for diving and goaltender interference. He should not have gotten the hat trick or the win. His other two were nice goals. Hard to blame anyone on any of the Blues goals last night. There a good team and battled back against another good but tired team on the road.
12 points in October. I'll take it and who wouldn't? Especially after playing 7 on the road and going 3-2-2 against some very good teams. 7th in the East and a bit more favorable schedule in November. Time to start building on a good October and putting some distance on those below in the standings.

Oh I completely disagree, Kracker. Philips Arena could sell out all 41 home games, at not only FULL price, but TWICE the price, and the budget … would still be where it is. And the money would slide … right … into … their … pockets. And legally, nothing would or could stop it.
Well, what would PREVENT it? What "legal" measure would prevent the ownership from just pocketing the money? It's their money to spend, or NOT spend. I'd wager that they use all the hypothetical "soldout" hockey revenue to pay Joe Johnson's contract. What does R.Stroz always say?, "Money is fungible." We, as hockey fans, cannot MAKE or FORCE the Octocluster to "suddenly" CARE about hockey, or the Thrashers. They either do … or (clearly) they don't.
The Octocluster … is just like the bums and lowlifes outside the arena trying to sell you a discount ticket. "Yeah buddy! Two tix. Right here. You and me. We're gonna see this game, together. We're gonna walk through those arena doors together. Me and you, watchin' some hockey! $12 bucks. You can't beat this deal. Don'tchyou go up to that box office window, buddy. The deal you need is right here."
It's all garbage. It's all lies. They (ownership) don't care. Not about hockey, maybe basketball, yes. But hockey, no. The Octocluster could win Tuesday night's Mega Millions, they're not SUDDENLY going to spend on the hockey team. If they did anything, spending-wise, they'd take on some NBA "luxury tax" expenses to make the Hawks better and deeper. Keeping Waddell as long as they have … shows you how UNCARING and CLUELESS they really are … about the dynamics of running a hockey team. This ownership has done nothing BUT alienate the hockey fanbase in Atlanta. I highly doubt they'd spend one extra nickel on this hockey club, if they had thousands of extra nickels to toss away, as their mood strikes them. If it were important to them to win in hockey, and maintain a winning climate at Philips Arena, they would have made SWEEPING REFORMS after the NY Rangers swept them out of the playoffs in 2007. We ALL know that they didn't do. And we've watched all our lottery draft picks leave this market without being re-signed beyond the requisite RFA years. It is what it is. And will be, until new ownership takes over, to properly care for this franchise and the fanbase of this market.
In my view, there is no defense for the indefensible. And any fan … has the right to see the ownership for WHO they really are, and b!tch about them accordingly, to their very heart's content. The way the ownership of the Thrashers … treats their fanbase … is deplorable. It's a WONDER that there's anyone left.

Brendan – eventually Bettman is going to step in and force an ownership change. He's not going to take the continual pock-shots for putting a team here and ignoring Winnipeg / Quebec. He knows this is a huge market where a winning team can fill the building. There were problems in Pittsburgh, Tampa and Phoenix. Now there are two new owners and soon to be a third.
Nice comment from EJ Hradek – "1 note on Thrash/Blues game : I'm so impressed w/ATL culture change. They r tough. Love Burmistov in all zones. Awesome kid" Gotta agree with him on Burmy…offense is a talent…defense is just hard work and dedication. 8 is going to be good at both.
Thrashers prospect / DU center Jesse Martin had emergency surgery last night after breaking three vertibrae caused by a massive hit 2 feet from the boards. UND forward Brad Malone came in with his hands and stick to Martins face and sent him flying back into the boards head first. Malone had a huge head of steam. I have no problem with hard hits. It's part of the game. Every time you lace them up, you know something terrible can happen. This was going too far. When you check you lead with your shoulder and keep your arm down at your side – and either against the boards or in open ice. This hit was similar to that against Panther forward David Booth last season (its headhunting) – and they need to stop. Here's wishing Martin a full and speedy recovery.
October 31st, 2010

Get well soon, Martin!
October 31st, 2010

Here, here, to the speedy recovery for Jesse Martin.
Glovesave29, I can only hope Bettman is successful in making that ownership change in Atlanta, while keeping the team here, past 2019, when the lease is up at Philips Arena.

If there's a winner here, Brendan, I would think there should be no troubles.

I simply see it differently. This owners group has spent above the floor in the past. Fill the arena more nights than not and some of that revenue will make it's way into improving the roster. Unfortunately, we are in, and will continue to be in, times of economic recession… for, hopefully, not too much longer. So simply treading water and hoping our thin roster "gets coached up" as the kids continue to mature is about the best we can expect.
But like Costner and his cornfield, win and they will come.
October 31st, 2010
8:28 pm
I think the team is off to a positive start considering all the new faces. I am for one shocked how Buff is tearing it up points wise…goes to show I was wrong about him switching to D.
As to the Island, Sopel is probably the last one off if he scores, no worries, that is not part of his game as been stated, he blocks shots and plays defense…
October 31st, 2010
8:48 pm
I'm just glad that Hainsey is not free skating out there on the PP anymore – replaced by Enstrom to carry the puck up the ice. I'm surprised that Ramsey could not figure this one out before the regular games would be played.
October 31st, 2010
8:53 pm
My guess would be Sopel as he does not shoot the puck much.
October 31st, 2010
9:44 pm
Great to meet you (finally), Brendan, as well as Spud Webb and WBF. and always nice to see Mr. and Mrs. Stroz and Rawhide!
So, who's that 5′2″ midget on Buffalo? I thought it was some kid trick or treating early and got lost out on the ice . . .
So Red Light, I think I better keep my day job, the roving reporter gig may not be my strong point . . .
October 31st, 2010
9:46 pm
Friday was the first game I've seen in person this year. Burmistrov is a player and Oduya was skating just fine, I thought. Less than impressed with the 1st period effort, or lack thereof, there's no excuse to let a mediocre team just outwork you that badly.
October 31st, 2010
11:34 pm
Joe Friday, likewise, a pleasure. I believe the midget in question is N. Gerbe, if you're referring to the Sabres player. He's actually not a bad player, he's just undersized. People said the same thing about Bryan Little, too. Time will tell if Little is really going to have a 10-year NHL career. Like Fox Mulder on the "X-files," I WANT TO BELIEVE.
Kracker, I feel what you're saying. But consider this … the Thrashers ACTUALLY MADE PROGRESS, however 'incremental' it may be, from 76-points to 83-points last season. The reward? (Wait for it) Their budget got HACKED! Last year's budget was $53-54 million, cap-wise. This year's budget? $42.3 million, BELOW the FLOOR!! How does one properly EXPLAIN that?
"Great job, guys! We've decided to cut your budget by $12 million next year. Best of luck to you, boys. And by the way, Bergfors, you'll get your 'qualifying offer' and LIKE IT!!!" – Ted Knight, Caddyshack. (Okay, he actually said, "You'll get NOTHING and like it," to his nephew, Spalding.
Now, as best I can tell, per Waddell as the source, via public comments made in the newspaper, on TV, and otherwise in print, the budget gets set during the Summer (end of June). Before a single game EVER gets played, to even possibly be swayed by attendance figures. The failure to re-sign Kovalchuk affected season ticket sales, no matter what anyone says. I can respect an argument that says, "Well, without the renewals, the budget has to be lowered somewhat." That only gets you to about 1st base. What about the whole, "How 'bout we TRY TO WIN" angle? What does a budget BELOW THE FLOOR of the cap say … about INTENT??
This team gets between $14 million to $17 million dollars (Dr. Evil laugh) from the NHL to prop up this market. Does the Octocluster take that money, and spend it all, to max out the cap, at $59.4 million? Sorry, you should read that first, thennnn sip your coffee. I don't accept dry-cleaning bills for my posts. Nor will I replace your coffee-soaked monitor. No, they take that money … (paying pay close attention) and slide … it into … their pockets. They took that money … and didn't even use it … to get ABOVE the league-mandated FLOOR.
How … much … more … evidence … would a 'reasonable' person need???????? They … don't … care about the Thrashers. They let Waddell name his own successor, (where does that happen, but here?, and Bizzaro World, where hamburges eat people) while giving Waddell "oversight authority." Boy, that's sweeping reforms, right there. It's NEW day. There sure is a new Sheriff in town. And he's been 'greenlighted' to … LESS than the floor of the cap. There is, simply put, a right way and a wrong way to do business. Which way do you think it was … that caused Kovalchuk to turn up his nose at $101 million, guaranteed? Yeah, it's the ownership. And in THEIR view, I'm sure they think the hockey fans in Atlanta SUCK, because they don't simply BLINDLY FORK OVER their money. (Heaven forfend, that hockey fans in Atlanta ask for some 'accountability.') That, and perhaps, they blame corporate sponsorship for not buying out all their luxury suites, where the team actually can make the money amount of money. If the Octocluster could ditch this team, they'd have done it, already. But nobody will buy the Thrashers … without operating revenues from Philips Arena as part of the sale. Hockey teams, generally, lose too much money. There's no big TV contract to bail them out. So, basically, it's all on the shoulders of the ownership … to build a winner and cultivate a winning atmosphere, that would cause players to stay beyond the years of their contractual and CBA obligations. You've seen the results, Kracker. And I can hardly blame Season Ticket Holders for refusing to grit their teeth, grabbing their ankles, while saying, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?" They can sit in that VERY SAME SEAT … by waiting until November, to buy it at 50-percent off. R.Stroz calls that, "learned behavior." If Pavlov could train a dog to salivate by playing music, then feeding it, … then surely … the Atlanta Spirit, LLC, can train their STH's to get in the building for a fraction of the cost. And they have.

Cornberead, in the good old days, floppers would be physically taken care of on their next shift. Doesn't happen anymore, too many players worried about messin' up their hair or getting another penalty.
Get rid of the new rules and bring back real hockey.
Can I add my Buffalo Bills to the participants on Schnide Island? Still a Bills fan, part time. It is painful.
November 1st, 2010
7:26 am
Brendan – I don't have the source link at the moment, bit pressed for time to look, but the Thrashers have not received the full revenue share lately because of the poor attendance. There's some percentage increase over the prior year you have to have in order to receive full credit as it were and given attendance growth has been negative …
I agree with Kracker in that if the attendance were to significantly increase regularly, and not just at total rockbottom prices, we would see more money being invested into the roster. I do not believe Atlanta Spirit is being neglectful solely out of choice but out of necessity. They've gone broke trying to prop up a franchise that is nowhere near self-sustaining, primarily due to losing Belkin's $$ for so long. When 30% walks away, it's gonna hurt. That said, it's hard to blame people for not showing up either when the team underperforms routinely. Toronto and Montreal are about the only two markets immune to that problem.
The biggest problem is, until the lawsuit settles itself there is nothing that can be done to rectify the situation other than having ticket revenues/etc increase. They can't bring in other investors, they can't sell, and Bettman can't force anything either – other than perhaps put on more pressure for them to conclude the litigation/mediation still pending.
Gotta wonder who's gotten paid more – Kovy? Or all the lawyers? :/

GTA 5: The Backlash Has Begun
Ryan King
Some fans are clearly not happy with the changes for GTA5…
Published on Nov 9, 2012
Following Game Informer's big GTA 5 reveal with the first details on GTA 5 characters, locations, gameplay and more, it seemed to go over well with most fans.
Most fans.
In a thread titled 'This doesn't feel like GTA at all' over at GTAForums.com, the opening post is: "What the hell they have done to this game. Switchable characters? LOL."
What follows is then a back and forth between those who don't like what's been revealed on GTA 5 and those defending it. Here are some selected comments from that thread:
"That's what I think too. Well even big games die. RIP Rockstar games."
"Totally ruined the game for me. f*ck you Rockstar."
"I have to agree with the OP. A soundtrack during gameplay. Rapelling down the side of a building. Stopping an interrogation. Sniping from a helicopter. All sounds cool and will be fun, but not GTA."
"this is more like sims where they are just your puppets and your the master (IV was hard enough with one character now you have to control 3 in every mission?). It dosent have the same connection to the charachter. Man they really f*cked it up."
"So if I press on button I be another character. GTA isn't GTA anymore."
"to me, this bold new direction SUCKS. i wish i liked as you did...i'll buy the game of course, but my main expectations are destroyed."
"This very well may be R*'s first major flop. They know EVERYTHING that fans are expecting, returning to San An, but they leave all that sh^t out and give us fuc*ing yoga? LOL These people have lost it. R.I.P. GTA."
"I do not like the sound of this, switching protagionts, What the f*ck. Rockstar have destroyed GTA."
"Rockstar is one of the laziest developers I've ever seen. They give us Yoga instead of buying property."
What do you think of GTA 5 so far? Disappointed? Excited? Not fussed either way until more is shown off?

Midfielder attends Supporters' Club event.
Related Links
All eyes were on Darron Gibson on Tuesday 6 November, as the latest of Everton's Supporters' Club roadshows took place.
The Republic of Ireland international was the special guest of the mid-Cheshire branch and was joined by the Blues' leading post-war goalscorer Graeme Sharp, Chief Executive Robert Elstone and Media and Publications Manager, Darren Griffiths, who also MC'd the event.
Fans were able to chat to Gibson who, along with Sharp, signed photographs and posed for pictures after an entertaining question and answer session.
Mr Elstone then took the floor as he outlined the Club's commitment to finding new investment before Sharpy provided a well-received trip down memory lane by recounting some of his and Everton's past glories.
The event culminated in a raffle, with the lucky winners receiving an Everton pennant signed by Darron Gibson and a squad signed third shirt.
To raise awareness of Everton in the Community's 25th anniversary celebrations, special wristbands were also sold to those in attendance. The wristbands are currently on sale at the Everton One and Everton Two stores.
More visits are planned throughout the season. Look out for more details on evertonfc.com.

I'll never forget the first time Georgia and Missouri played football for a couple of reasons.
For one, it was the first time I ever saw a live telecast of a Bulldogs football game. Actually, it was the first time anyone ever saw the Dogs play on TV, as the CBS coverage of the Jan. 1, 1960, Orange Bowl was the first time a Georgia game was broadcast.
The other memorable thing about that New Year's Day was that I woke up with a bad case of the mumps, with both sides of my face swelled up like a balloon. But I was determined to see the game, so Mom propped me up with pillows in the TV room so I could watch Fran Tarkenton lead Wally Butts' Bulldogs against Dan Devine's Mizzou Tigers. (You'll remember we encountered Devine again in a bowl 20 years later.)
Perhaps because I was sick or maybe because I was only 7 years old, I don't remember much about the game itself other than my Dad thinking Georgia didn't play very well despite winning what was largely a defensive struggle thanks to Tarkenton throwing two touchdown passes. Butts, in fact, said it was the Dogs' "worst game of the year."
My friend Carl remembers some family friends who went to the game bringing him a pennant from it. And Rusty, another of our classmates in Miss Tabor's second-grade class at David C. Barrow Elementary in Athens, recalls it as the only bowl game his parents ever attended. His mom, who was from Missouri, had divided loyalties and so she was dressed in red but wore a Mizzou button.
Rusty, who spent a lot of time in Missouri during summers as a kid, is attending today's historic game in which Georgia welcomes the Tigers to the SEC. His grandparents lived in Glasgow, about 30 miles from the university town of Columbia, and he remembers it as "the closest thing I can imagine to a real-life Mayberry. It had a hand-crank phone system, a mayor/sheriff/fire chief (named Casey Jones), a drug store, a dime store and a movie theater. … One of my favorite Glasgow memories was going home for lunch one day after a morning spent playing in the firehouse/jail with my cousins. My grandmother got a call and turned to my older cousin and said, 'Jimmy K, it's Casey, he wants to know what you all did with the keys to the jail. He needs to put some body in a cell.'"
Rusty was planning on revisiting Glasgow on this trip but was mainly looking forward to the game itself. As he put it: "Saturday should be exciting. This game is huge to our season. A loss puts us back down in the middle of the pack going to the other Columbia. A win should solidify our preseason ratings which, frankly, I think were way too high. Best case scenario for us — this one turns out like Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. They look good based on their record until they face an SEC team. We'll see."
The way things have shaken out with the defensive suspensions and now injuries to our thin offensive line, the outlook for this Georgia-Missouri game is a lot more uncertain than it should have been. I know the Missouri fan base is really cranked up about this one and Faurot Field will be packed and loud, but if Georgia weren't missing several starters on defense I don't think anyone would be seriously entertaining thoughts of an upset by the Tigers.
Yes, their run-based spread offense is known for using the entire width of the field (a true spread) and putting points up on the board (though in the past that was mostly against Big 12 non-defenses). James Franklin is also the sort of dual-threat quarterback that the Dogs have had trouble with in recent seasons and they throw a lot of bubble screens, which the Dogs sometimes have had a hard time handling.
But Missouri's own offensive line is something of an inexperienced, makeshift affair, with three first-year starters, including a true freshman and a former walk-on, and they'll be facing a Georgia defensive front that should be one of the nation's best (even the Dogs' DL didn't play like it against Buffalo).
The Tigers have some talented receivers who are fully capable of putting Georgia's interim secondary to a severe test, but Missouri's offense is based on the quarterback reading the defense, and you've got to figure Franklin is going to have to do that in an awful hurry Saturday night with Jarvis Jones breathing down his neck. At times last season Franklin was prone to get rattled and throw multiple interceptions. And if John Jenkins gets a big push up the middle, that could further disrupt things for the Tigers.
Probably because of the suspensions, most of the media talk in advance of the game has been on whether Georgia can handle Mizzou's much-hyped high-powered offense, but not that much attention has been paid to the fact that Missouri has had to replace three starters up front on its defense and its secondary is considered a weakness.
If the ailing Georgia OL can keep mouthy Sheldon Richardson of "old man football" infamy off Aaron Murray long enough, it could be a big night for Tavarres King, Michael Bennett and Chris Conley. And if Georgia really does have an explosive running game now thanks to Todd Gurley, Keith Marshall and company, as it appears, so much the better.
As for special teams, Georgia looked improved in that regard against Buffalo, but that aspect of the game remains a question mark for both teams. We don't know yet how our true freshman placekicker and punter will respond in a pressure situation in a big game. And the Tigers have a talented punt returner in Marcus Murphy. But Mizzou's kicking game is itself kind of shaky.
So, while I'm of course concerned about how Georgia's defense will do without Sanders Commings, Bacarri Rambo, Alec Ogletree and Chase Vasser, I feel pretty confident that Mike Bobo's offense is going to be able to put up points against the Tigers. I think Georgia will come out of Columbia with a win. But, if not, hey, this is the SEC East … and an 0-1 start in conference play is not a season-killer.
I'll be back with thoughts about the game late tonight. In the meantime, feel free to share your own predictions in the comments and discuss the game as it progresses.

I love your Blawg Bill…The problem with that comment to me though is that I want to win a national championship. If we start off with a loss to Missouri, it means it's probably not happening this season. I won't handle a loss tonight very well even with suspended players.

Despite the talk of it being " a conference game" and a "loss would be okay".. I'll have to say, thats not the case.
Our schedule is weak this year, and a loss, conference or not, would put us out. We're already hyped up higher than we should be, and while good and bad, we can't lose and expect to come out smelling like a rose at the end of the season.

Bobo will try to run the ball, clock control, early and fall behind by 14. This becomes a shootout in the second half.

I spent a summer in Athens in 1970 during the Vince Dooley era, it is a great town. Georgia is my second favorite team, too bad my very most favorite is also in Columbia MO tonight. On my way to the Zou in about an hour, will welcome you.

Off topic and ahead of myself: RE: Van Gorder at AU. I am watching AU vs. MS. The other Bulldogs just made a safety bite like I saw several teams do against the Dawgs back in the BVG days. There has been a lot of talk about BVG knowing Richt/Bobo's O. I would also say that Richt knows BVG and WM's D.
As far as Mizzou. I may be way off base, but with or without the dope smokers, we will see a very different Dawg team this week. I think the Dawgs win by 10 to 14 points.

USC appears to have found themselves a QB…
Ad far as UGA winning a NC, has anybody watched Alabama play? Nobody is going to beat them. Everybody in the SEC is playing for 2nd place. Period.
I guess Bill is right…0-1 in the East isn't so bad…but do UGA fans really want to back into the SEC CG again?
September 8th, 2012
1:30 pm
the real reason why the 1960 game was significant for the dawgs, was it was the first time we played against an african american player and in fact to embarrassment and stain of our program, we at first refused to play or considered not playing. we won the game, my dad was there (class of 1963) and in fact the night before the game he was at a club seeing johnny Mathis and hopped up on stage and sang Glory glory with mathis. The game will always be remembered for the black player. Shamefully i believe we were the last program to have a african american player on our team in the SEC and i believe that was 1973 or thereabouts.

Thanks for that history lesson, man. I went to UGA from central FL in 1984. While central FL was not exactly a bastion of racial harmony, I was really taken aback by the racial tension, especially regarding Jackson and Johnson at QB. It was much later that I saw that the first black player came in '73. That was a big realization for me.
There's still work to be done all around the South in this regard.
RE: Huh? You are absolutely right about 'Bama, but giants have fallen before. I still just want to see someone from the SEC whoop Kiffen and USC post-season.
September 8th, 2012
2:13 pm
chazzo…yes giants have fallen. I'm not sure Alabama will though…I'm even more convinced that UGA is not the team to do it as well. I just think that all the Championship talk is not realistic.
September 8th, 2012
2:26 pm
Huh? There are always overly optimistic fans. the word fan comes from fanatic, ya' know. I don't think most of the talk is that the Dawgs will win an NC this year as much as they are a potential dark horse team. We'll see. There are a lot of youngins out there that will gel as the season goes. I'm thinkin' 11 wins and a possible BCS Bowl at best. But, I am a fan.
Whatcha thinking about Chizig. Granted an NC will by a coach a few years, and maybe he gets a season for breaking in assistants. But, I think Missy State is making his buns a little warm today.
September 8th, 2012

Commentators like to say Lutzenkirken almost as much as they liked saying Honey Badger and Tebow.
September 8th, 2012
2:33 pm
chazzo…agreed regarding Chiz….he needs to be dusting off his resume. I'm sure most Auburn fans are thinking the same.
The schedule for UGA certainly sets up a favorable season. But I think UGA will lose 1 between Missouri and SC, and lose one more that they probably shouldn't. Heck, I wouldn't even overlook the UT game. They appear to be about the best in the East through 1 game.
September 8th, 2012
2:53 pm
My main concern is that Mizzou will be hyped and playing above itself… and if we aren't ready for that, we could feed the frenzy with small, silly mistakes that might not mean that much in any other contest.
The Dawgs need to be crisp, sharp and hard for the full game. Any let up… or let down, could let that energy run over us.
Go Dawgs! Junkyard time, boys.
September 8th, 2012
3:02 pm
I think the Dawgs have been practicing for Mizzou since Spring. Huh? may be right about UT if the Dawgs are looking ahead to SoCa. Spurrier is a SOB (a good coach, too) and loves to beat UGA. The Dawgs schedule is deceptive. Vandy's coming on too (no, I'm not kidding).
September 8th, 2012

Mullins is one of the best coaches around, and his departure is probably the real reason why Urban Whiner started having chest pains. Missy State has a solid team.

Huh?, You're right… Western KY, Western Carolina, Bowling Green, Luisiana-Monroe, Jacksonville State, Tulsa, Alabama A&M, Louisiana-Lafayette, East Carolina, Wofford, Troy, Akron, Georgia State, et al strike fear in the hearts of every opponent , and UGA doesn't have any of these on the schedule. LOL.
I agree, though, UGA didn't draw the tough teams from the West. No doubt about that. The East, though, may be on the comeback. Plus, being an SEC fan, you will agree that every SEC game is a rivalry, and any given week the second tiers can sneak up on you.

When we lost last season, the D seemed to start off playing well. But the offense struggled and kept getting 3 and outs and leaving the D in terrible positions. Pretty soon, the D got tired and fell apart. Boise State, LSU, Michigan State come to mind. The offense definitely lost the game for us against S. Carolina (offense gave up 21 of S. Carolina's points through turnovers — special teams was also terrible in that game especially).
If the offense can sustain good solid drives, the D will do its part. Book it.

I remember the '60 Orange Bowl against Mizzou 'cause I was there, It was my very first Georgia game. I was 4 and truthfully my memories are more associated with the super 8 movies we played back years later….but hey, I remember it.

Will get back Commings and Vasser next week and possibly Ogletree. Jarvis Jones 16 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 int should be Defensive player of the week in the entire country. Haven't seen a defensive performance like that since David Pollack against SC in 2002.

Where's all the negative comments about Norman? So many of y'all were doggin' him for his coverage skills. As far as I'm concerned, Mizzou did not even test him. The short plays were to the opposite field. They didn't even test him…Consider the fact that he actually plays he responsibilities…The dude did his job amongst others that were doing their jobs. It's all about Xs and Os and the defense played well (including your "walk-on" dawg Norman! That's my boy doing work. Don't hate. Keep it up Conner!

Wow. Just ... wow. In a new documentary film about the lives of a few soccer stars in England entitled, The Class of 92, mega-celeb dad David Beckham admits masturbating in front of teammates as part of a crazy hazing ritual.
Yes ... I said David Beckham masturbated. In front of a bunch of other dudes. Oh, and he was only 16 years old when he did it. And OMG I feel a little bit wrong for the mere act of typing those words.
Just wait until you hear what he had to say about what went down.
According to Becks, as part of the ritual, he was required to look at a photo of Clayton Blackmore, a Welsh soccer player -- and well ... you know ... pleasure himself.
In his own words, David says:
Everyone had an initiation that you had to go through on the youth team, that was one of the most uncomfortable ones. I was embarrassed when I was saying it on camera let alone talking about it more. But it's something that we all had to go through. It was definitely something I wouldn't like to go through again.
OMG. The poor guy! Can you believe he was expected to do something so humiliating at the tender age of 16? I know he has a really great attitude about it and doesn't seem scarred for life or anything -- but it had to be more than a little bit traumatic!
And I kind of feel like now that I know what he did -- it's going to be the first thing that runs through my mind any time I hear the name David Beckham. (Ugh.)
Here's the trailer for The Class of 92. David's sex confession isn't in the clip -- but it does give more of a sneak peek into the film. Should be pretty interesting, to say the least.
Will you watch this movie, and are you surprised at what David had to go through?
Image via TheR3dDevils/YouTube
shit....I have a son who I'm sure will play sports...this just amps my anxiety
He dutifully masturbates in front of a bunch of other guys and I'm supposed to feel sorry for him? Ummm, no. He's an idiot. His teammates are idiots. If he had refused and been victimized then I'd feel sorry for him.
Gay people don't bother me. But people pretending to be straight when they are really gay are very creepy because let's be very clear straight guys don't ask another dude to masturbate in front of them and a straight guy doesn't masturbate in front of other guys. These dudes are all gay guys masquerading as straight. That's creepy.
Wow, brainy. I'm sure you were NEVER young and impressionable, and you of course never made a stupid decision under peer pressure. Way to go. Be sure to let Victoria know her husband is gay, and he's just pretending. It's a wonder they have all thos kids.
*rolls eyes*
Colleen - Masturbating in front of other guys doesn't fall in the "stupid decision under peer pressure" category. It falls in the "I'm gay but don't want to admit it" category. Again, straight dudes don't masturbate in front of other dudes. And, straight dudes don't ask other dudes to masturbate for them. The whole thing is weird.
And, let's not forget what a coward he is to have said nothing until now. That hazing ritual probably occurred before him and after him, yet he's said nothing until now, meaning other guys have endured such a bizarre ritual. Cowardly.
Brainy, hazing has nothing to do with sexual preferences. It is all about humiliating someone who is seen as weaker, or 'not as good as'. It is a form of bullying. That's all. Unfortunately your view of it could make other people think it is not so bad. Everyone is touched by bullying in our lives. Either we were bullied, our siblings were,or our kids were; or, we were (are) the bullies. Don't blame Beckham for something that was traumatic. If you can honestly say that you never gave in to peer pressure, mob mentality, or bullied into doing something you didn't want to, then you have had a very lucky life. Most of us haven't been so lucky.
This explains so much about his taste when picking a wife.
fraternity's of all kinds are based onpsedo sexual ritual initiation's like this think about it..what binds you to your lover your spouse? now... think about those paddles that fraternity's boys have with their greek letters on them? paddles? comeon weird S and M stuff is part of the male control bonding scene from "foxholes' to Fraternity's from the beginning of time... read a Far Off Place

In a year that has been full of uncertainty, recalls, and what-have-you, at least one brand is ending it on a really high note.
For better or for worse, Porsche has had a really good year and their fortunes haven't gone unrecognized by a lot of their peers. The automaker from Stuttgart, Germany is being recognized by a variety of media outlets for a year where it has released a steady diet of high-performance and ultra-popular cars. While some people might think that the company was lucky to have the year it has had, the folks at Porsche would prefer to describe it as "business as usual".
Over in their homeland of Germany, the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand (DAT) listed three of Porsche's sports as having the best value retention with the Porsche 911 leading the pack, followed by both the Boxster and the Cayman . Thee cars in the top-three. Pretty impressive.
On the other side of the world in the Land Down Under, a jury comprising of eleven motor journalists from the "Sydney Morning Herald", "The Age" and "drive.com.au" chose the Porsche Boxster as the best convertible of 2010 and more importantly, giving it the "Drive Car of the Year Award" for the second year in a row.
Continued after the jump.
Gallery Porsche 911 Turbo S
Gallery Porsche 911 GT3 RS
In the UK, the celebrated auto magazine, EVO, picked the Porsche 911 GT3 RS as the winner of the "Car of the Year 2010". One of the cars that the 911 GT3 RS beat out for the top step in the podium was the 911 GT2 RS , which finished a pretty impressive third place, making Porsche the only automaker to have two cars in the top ten of a group filled with some pretty heady competition. Even Top Gear's Richard Hammond joined in on the praises for the 911 GT2 RS, naming it his own personal "Car of the Year." Speaking of Top Gear, the UK auto show also bestowed their "Man of the Year" award to Wolfgang Dürheimer, Porsche's development director for his brainchild concept vehicle, the 918 Spyder .
Finally, here in local soil, Porsche continued its impressive showing in these year-end awards by having two cars – the Boxster and the Cayman – in Car and Driver Magazine's list of ten best vehicles on sale in the US. Porsche's presence in the top ten. This is also the 10th time in 12 years that one of Stuttgart's finest has made an appearance on the list.
All told, that's four different countries in three different continents sharing the same sentiment: for all the drama surrounding 2010, Porsche has managed to rise above it all and establish its place as one of the most popular and highly sought after auto brands on the planet today.

A Brooklyn Rowhouse, Redone
Professional Project
Project by: Barker Freeman Design Office
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Alexandra Freeman tells us about the project: This gut renovation of a Brooklyn rowhouse for a family of four developed as a series of transformative insertions into the existing building fabric.
The first two moves were to slice out all jnterior partitions and cut out the rear facade in order to create one large room that would bring light deep into the building's interior. The first floor was extensive enough to then subdivide into four main spaces. The living room at the front is circumscribed by the bay window facade and entry vestibule and oriented toward the brick hearth that was uncovered during demolition. The kitchen, pantry and powder room is contained within a wall and soffit volume. The exposed brick wall and existing intricate wood staircase flank the dining space.
The kitchen was pulled away from the rear facade to create a sunny family room with the full glass wall opening out onto the back yard. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two baths were carved out of the existing apartment. A book-lined study separating the kids' rooms from the master suite opens out into the central hallway via double doors. Light from Existing Skylights in the hallway that were salvaged during demolition brings additional light down onto the main stair. In the basement, 18" was excavated below the existing floor to create a playroom and workout area.
Thanks, Alexandra!

Love the sideboard in the dining area! Where is it from?
I'd love to see more pictures of this. Beautiful to see so much light with the brick.
This is beautiful and looks really liveable, so kudos to those involved.
However, the Architect-Speak in the introduction ("This renovation.... developed as a series of transformative insertions into the existing building fabric") made me giggle. What's wrong with plain old: 'We renovated the building to better suit the owners' needs?"
nice, really the only way to make a rowhouse bright. Would be interesting to see the before.
I love this house! It's a bit more modern than I would usually go for, but I think it reall works in this space. Row houses are such a challenge - they are always crowded and dark and the spaces never really seems to flow properly. This is beautiful!
Love that coffee table! Anyone know where I could find it?
Very lovely. I would like to see more!
Stunning - would love to see the before as well!
Does anyone know the brand / color of paint in the living room.
Beautiful! All of it. I am a sucker for any brick wall spaces.
Envious, I really like this.
I couldn't find that exact coffee table but I found something similar that I thought I'd pass along in case anyone else liked it too http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/products/metropolitan-coffee-table-live-edge
Beautiful! Let's see more!
I don't think the sideboard came from here, but this site has similarly beautiful products: http://jeremiahcollection.com/store/mid-century-sideboard-credenza/
The Cocktail table and most of the other furniture is from Room and Board (www.roomandboard.com) It's the called the chilton.

This looks great! What width is this rowhouse? This design definitely eliminates the typical rowhouse cavern feel.
The bath room is really beautiful. Please confirm the size of the carrara subway tiles and the grout color.

El Paso, Texas (KDBC) — If you're looking for something to do this weekend, you might want to pack up the car and drive to one of the region's national parks. Entrance to all national parks is free this Saturday, in honor of National Public Lands Day. Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park are just a couple of hours from El Paso.
Other federal agencies waiving fees include the U.S. Fish and Wild Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Forest Service.

Another juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial has broken her silence.
She was known as "B-29," but now she's showing her face and identifying herself as Maddy.
She says she wanted to convict Zimmerman in the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
"For myself, he's guilty because the evidence shows he's guilty," she said in part.
Maddy later added, "I stand by my decision because of the law. If I stand by the decision because in my heart, he would have been guilty."
She said she realized there wasn't enough evidence for a murder conviction, and she feels like she let Martin's parents down.
The 36-year-old Puerto Rican mother of eight was the only minority on the panel.
She moved to Florida from Chicago just months before the trial began.
It's unknown when the jurors' full identities will be released.
During a Friday luncheon, Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, will be speaking in Philadelphia at the National Urban League Conference at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Earlier Friday morning, "Good Day Philadelphia" talked to local attorneys Ken Rothweiler and Shaka Johnson about what this newest juror from the panel had to say.
Join FOX 29's Mike Jerrick and the Good Day Philadelphia team for a tasty night of yummy treats benefiting local youth.

I run these on all my quads. They do last more than one season but it's good assurance if you're racing to switch these yearly to insure it functions properly and you don't get a DNF.Read All Reviews

Graphics fit the Pro Armor doors almost perfect. Excellent adhesion and little to no bubbles once installed. Great value for the money, and very thick vinyl helps to protect your doors as well. Awesome item.Read All Reviews
