PLAYERS: Donte` Stallworth, Bill Belichick
TEAMS: New England Patriots
TEAMS: New England Patriots
Well, that lasted long. The New England Patriots put WR Donte Stallworth on IR today, with a season ending ankle injury. One reception, 63 yards, for one TD. The Flying Elvii also released TE Visanthe Shiancoe.Stallworth was unable to answer the bell last night for the final 25 minutes of the game, limited the Patriots formations, unable to go with a 3 WR package. Albert Breer reported that Stallworth suffered a high ankle sprain.The 32 yr. old Shiancoe came back from IR on Nov. 10. He played in four games, and was inactive for one. From the offices of FVP, it looks like a wasted roster spot.The interwebs were abuzz about the possible return of Deion Branch.Bill Belichick said of Stallworth today; "There was a big advantage for him and us that he'd been here through training camp and at least had a good familiarity with our terminology, background, system, kind of the adjustments that we make in the passing game on different routes and things like that. That definitely help...

Hi Tumblr,
I'm a Co-Founder of a cycling group at my university in Ontario, Canada. We're hoping to get over 2000 reflectors for incoming undergraduate students and also hold a bike repair stand and free bike light give away for students who need it.
I was wondering if anyone might know of any groups that might be able to give us a discount on a bulk order?
I've already contacted Planet Bike to see if they'll be able to help out. For lights, we're looking for something that's simple and cheap, such as this LED turtle light.
Please share this around so folks can see it! Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I'm putting a question mark here so people can answer?

Gudlevskis, Kristers
AHL Game Night: 1-11-14 Bruins at CrunchSubmitted by pete on January 11, 2014 - 23:04
125 minutes.
Kristers Gudlevskis stopped all 27 shots he faced for the shutout victory. If you're keeping track at home, in the last 48 hours the Providence Bruins played 125 minutes of regulation and overtime hockey against Gudlevskis and they got nothing to show for their efforts. Nada. Were it not for the shootout gimmick last night, we might be calling Gudlevskis Providence's daddy. We still might, anyhow. Gudlevskis has 4 shutouts in his 16 appearances this season and a very respectable 2.37 GAA and .915 sv%. He's looking like quite the late round steal for the Lightning, to be sure.
First Period
SYR Paquette, (11) (Tyrell, Korobov), 0:42
Second Period
Third Period
Gudlevskis and Cedric Paquette were the game's first and second stars.
Syracuse remains 3 points back of 8th place in the Eastern Conference. They're off until Friday when they face the Hershey Bears.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
AHL Game Night 1-10-14: Crunch at BruinsSubmitted by pete on January 11, 2014 - 00:04
Shutout, loss?
Kristers Gudlevskis stopped all 22 shots he faced in regulation and overtime, but allowed 3 of 4 to convert in the penalty shot session for the shootout loss. That's rough.
First Period
Second Period
Third Period
SYR- Rankin, Connolly
PRO- Khokhlachev, Knight, Griffith
Gudlevskis was the game's second star.
With tonight's result the Crunch pulled within 3 points of 8th place in the Eastern Conference. They'll face Providence again tomorrow night.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
AHL Game Night: 1-8-14 Crunch at PenguinsSubmitted by pete on January 8, 2014 - 22:07
Connolly remains on fire.
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 2 goals on 26 shots for the victory.
First Period
SYR Namestnikov, (11) (Connolly, DiSalvatore), 13:17 (PP)
SYR DiSalvatore, (1) (Connolly, Mormina), 13:47 (PP)
Second Period
SYR Connolly, (9) (Nesterov, DiSalvatore), 8:04
SYR Paquette, (10) (Richard, Witkowski), 8:59
WBS Samuelsson, (1) (Manderson, Mikkelson), 17:39
Third Period
WBS Samuelsson, (2) (Kuhnhackl, Carman), 15:11
Jon DiSalvatore and Brett Connolly were the game's first and second stars. Connolly, if you're keeping track at home, just posted his 3rd consecutive 3-point night. He now has 9 goals and 23 points in 24 games. A lot of disappointment has been expressed by Lightning fans based on Connolly's ineffective callup earlier this season, but here's a set of fun facts to consider: 1.) Last season Connolly was a 2nd Team AHL All-Star scoring at a pace of .887 points per game. 2.) This season, despite fears Connolly's development has stagnated, Connolly is now scoring at a .958 points per game clip. My point is this: folks giving up on Connolly might be wise to wait until the next time he gets a cup of coffee with Tampa Bay before drawing any final conclusions, because he's still getting better.
With the victory, Syracuse climbs back to within 4 points of eighth place in the Eastern Conference. They face Providence on Friday.

Gudlevskis Puts Olympic Excitement on HoldSubmitted by jghoughtaling on January 7, 2014 - 17:12
Despite receiving word that he was selected to represent his country at the Olympics, Kristers Gudlevskis is focusing on the task at hand.
The netminder was included on the Latvia men's national hockey team's preliminary roster for the games in Sochi next month, but after finishing practice with the Syracuse Crunch Tuesday, Gudlevskis reiterated what's important to him now.
"I don't concentrate on (the) tournament yet," the 21-year-old said. "I concentrate on the Crunch and do everything possible to win some games, get some points. When I need to go to the Olympics, then I start concentrating on the Olympics."
AHL Game Night: 1-4-14 Crunch at SenatorsSubmitted by pete on January 4, 2014 - 22:04
Connolly helps Crunch steal a point.
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 3 goals on 15 shots before being lifted early in the Second Period. Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 17 shots the rest of the way for the OT loss.
First Period
BNG Da Costa, (11) (Schneider, Hoffman), 3:34
SYR Connolly, (7) (Namestnikov, Olson), 5:40
SYR Walker, (4) (Angelidis), 6:03
Second Period
SYR Mormina, (1) (Rankin, Paquette), 0:26 (SH)
BNG O'Brien, (5) (Hoffman, Hammond), 1:13 (PP)
BNG Prince, (6) (Hoffman, Wideman), 3:23 (PP)
Third Period
BNG Wideman, (4) (Schneider, Puempel), 1:16 (PP)
BNG Da Costa, (12) (New, Schneider), 1:50 (PP)
SYR Connolly, (8) , 8:06 (PP)
SYR Mormina, (2) (Connolly, DiSalvatore), 17:01
BNG Wideman, (5) (Hoffman, Prince), 1:26 (PP)
Brett Connolly's game has been simmering nicely the past several weeks in Syracuse, but in his last two games he's gotten white hot. Tonight's 2 goals and 3 points marked the second straight 3 point game for the former first rounder and it included a wonderful individual effort tonight to score a goal to get within 1 and the primary assist on the tying goal. In the last 15 games Connolly has 8 goals and 19 points, and he's starting to close in on a point a game for the season at 20 points in 23 games. After failing to gain traction in his first Tampa Bay cup of coffee this season, Connolly may be making a case for another audition soon.

Wanna know what sucks?
My strict dad. Last night my brother got home till like 12 and wasn't even questioned. He does and goes wherever the hell he pleases. And what do i do? I'm home all day, locked in my room. And even if i had freedom it's not like i'd be partying every minute. I'd just like to hang out with my friends and boyfriend. You question why i'm locked in my room? What else do i have to do. It's sad thinking that once i turn 18 it'll be prolly the same thing. It sucks knowing that i can't move out because i don't have a job. You're pretty fucking lucky to have me. I don't smoke, i don't do drugs, i'm not pregnant, i have good grades in school. I don't know why you complain about me being so rebellious! Ha! I hardly even talk to you so shut the fuck up.

World's Top 10 Fire FestivalsAs clocks turn back, days get shorter, temperatures plummet and 2012 draws to a close, there's no better time to strike a match and light those dark skies up with color...

2 Bonfire Night - Newfoundland, Canada
When English and Irish people, in search of a better life, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Canada, they took their traditions with them. The English took Guy Fawkes Night, the Irish took Samhain and over time the traditions merged into Mischief Week.
With a belief that certain types of naughty behavior (soaping windows, taking pins from gate hinges or stealing old tires for bonfires) is permitted at this time, many of Newfoundland & Labrador's close-knit communities hold bonfires and celebrations.

Has anyone tried the Red Eyed Pig in W. Roxbury?
It's a new take out BBQ joint on Center St., near to where the Upper Crust is......I smelled smoke when I went in and grabbed a menu, but haven't tried it yet.....anyone have a report?
I ordered the pulled pork platter with cornbread, collared greens and baked beans on Saturday. I chose the sweet sauce, but they have about five to offer ( FYI, I believe that the online menu is only available as an image on their Facebook page right now). Really good, and better than I had hoped. The beans, in particular, were large and had a nice sauce - not the "out of the can" variety. I also liked that the pulled pork wasn't as limp as you can sometimes find it. I was hoping for something at the level of Blue Ribbon which, for around the West Roxbury area (commuting to the Newtonville location0, is the best you can expect for take-out (have yet to try the newer sit-down BBQ places like Sweet Cheeks and that place in Winthrop). My first take is that this exceeds Blue Ribbon and thus, I am happy.
Also, I understand that they had something of a helter-skelter opening on Friday night, but most of the logistics were worked out by Saturday and they seemed to be humming along.
Have yet to try the other sides or appetizers, but plan on ordering some catering for a party this weekend. Looking forward to it.
Full disclosure, I sit on a neighborhood business board and helped them work through the licensing process, and have been tweeting etc. about their opening.
re: ML02132
Yeah, it was friday when I walked by, and they did seem to be struggling (was getting take out at Himalayan Bistro). Can't wait to try this place, as BBQ Town is a real let down in the BBQ department.
re: ML02132
GREAT report - we're so excited! Any news on when the Mexican place is opening?
West Rox really has the best restaurant scene now - I think more than JP or Rosi (IMHO, of course!)
re: sallyt
Last I heard, Los Amigos was hoping for a pre-Christmas opening, but I am guessing it will be early January based on their current state of construction. Lean Works is looking at February (they are opening in the old Finagle spot on Spring St., near Panera, FYI).
re: ML02132
ML02132 - what's the link to your twitter feed? I'd love to follow West Rox food stuff...
re: sallyt
Sure - it's @mtloconto. You should also follow @WRMS for West Roxbury Main Streets (http://www.wrms.org) - we are a nonprofit and I am a volunteer on the Board. We assist new and existing businesses in the neighborhood with start-up issues, storefront redesign and promotions. In particular, I tend to host a lot of restaurant-focused events, like beer & wine dinners/tastings. Here are some of the existing twitter handles for our restaurants:
Apologies if I missed a few; also, you can follow Red-Eyed Pig, Porter Cafe and Lean Works (as well as those listed above) on Facebook. Cheers!
re: ML02132
I haven't been yet, but I have to point out that, according to Boston Restaurant Talk, the place is owned by the people who run Blue-Eyed Crab in Plymouth (makes sense based on the name). I tried a couple of things at e Blue-Eyed Crab last year, and they were outstanding, seemed like they put a lot of thought into the ingredients, preparation, and execution of their dishes.
I can't wait to try Red Eyed Pig since the quality seems to be just as high based on what I'm reading on this post.
re: ML02132
We were in the neighborhood on Saturday, and even though we had a late b'fast, figured we'd grab a quick lunch. Sorry to see no other customers there at 12:30 (one couple came in as we were leaving near 1PM), cuz it's still very good. Had a small portion of the Pork Belly (DW had chili), and we shared a small Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious. Noticed they now serve b'fast there. Luckily we live far enough away that we shouldn't be tempted, but it looked very interesting. And reasonably priced.
re: devilham
Yes, they closed yesterday to get the shop in order after such a hectic opening few days. I believe they will reopen today.
I am looking forward to the green chile & pork belly doughnuts!
re: nsenada
I don't think so - it's really a take-out place. BUT - delicious!
We got takeout from the Red Eyed Pig last night. I'm not a huge BBQ person (I don't eat pork or meat) but my husband and 5 yo daughter LOVED it. They got ribs, pulled pork, beans, mashed potatoes, and hush puppies, and loved it all. I ate a side of mac and cheese which was delicious. We got the peanut butter pie in a mason jar which was fantastic.
They proclaimed the bbq to be better than Blue Ribbon.
re: sallyt
I'll second the Blue Ribbon comparison, too. I went again last night - the Hush Puppies with the orange maple bacon butter was excellent.
Also, in reply to the original question - there is no beer/wine/liquor license as they are a primarily take-out operation. There are a few barstools for eating in at a window counter.
Made it to The Pig last night, and sure am glad I did! The food was really very good, with a real home made care put into it. The wife and I ordered the pork belly donuts, which were soft and fluffy, salty and just good. We also got the stuffed jalapenos, which were made from scratch....they were very large peppers (so big, it more reminded me of a chili relenos than a popper!), with a nice kick to them, stuffed with cream cheese (they claim pimento cheese, and really everyones recipe for pimento cheese is different, but I would call this straight cream cheese) and coated with what seemed a tempura batter, simply an outstanding dish. At the counter (I had called my food in) I asked for a sample of the pork (as I had said earlier, you can smell smoke in there, os I had to try something smoked!) and it was so tasty I added the pulled pork sandwich with a side of (very lovely, vinegary) collard greens. Nice pork, with a good bark and smokey taste, served on a (potato?) bun with coleslaw, classic. Lastly my wife ordered the apple crisp, which is served in a mason jar, it was good, and the presentation was cool. I can't wait to try this place again and really explore the menu.....but I got a great first impression.
re: devilham
I am really psyched to try this place. How did the food travel?
re: nsenada
medium well for travel, the fried jalapenos got soft, but it's not their fault, that's what happens....I would however recomend they use containers that breath better to help mitigate that sort of thing.....but it's no show stopper.
Happened to stumble on this place on Sunday when I ran an errand in the city. Ironically, I had been meaning to go to the newish BBQ place in Needham (can't remember the name right now) and wound up here instead.
They are clearly still ironing out the kinks, but the food showed real promise, I tried the brisket plate with sweet potatoes and collard greens on the side. Had the spicy sauce. Meat was quite tender and very flavorful, potatoes were OK (a few were undercooked). Collard greens were a highlight -- best I've had in a while. Sauce had a kick and nice flavor.
It's a ways from home for me, but I might meander back once in a while to explore some of the other options on the menu.
re: L2k
I posted this on the SC thread, but it's more pertinent to Red-Eyed Pig, obviously:
We just got our second takeout from Red-Eyed Pig last night and it was delicious. My husband loves the ribs, the mashed potatoes are divine, and for $28, we got an appetizer of hush puppies (excellent), a plate of ribs, beans, collard greens, and a plate of smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, and cheesy spinach. The smoked chicken was a litlte dry, so I can't recommend it, but everything else was great, and their sauces are outstanding (esp. the Carolina vinegar sauce). Cornbread comes with everything.
re: sallyt
Saw this before we went, thanks!
We live a bit too far to take out, like out Q to be nice and hot, so we sat on 2 of the 6 uncomfortable stools and ate at the window counter (kind of tight there). Had the hushpuppies (wow!) and the fried pickles (needs to be cornmeal) as apps, then the meals.
I had the 1/2 rack of St. Louis, with fries (ok) and mac/cheese (very good). Needed them to cut up the ribs for me as the plastic knive couldn't come close to doing the job. Ribs reminded me of Blue Ribbon (in a good way), and I thoroughly enjoyed them. DW had the smoked chicken (she's not a pork fan, and didn't feel like brisket), and really liked it. Also really liked her mac/cheese -- the mashed potatoes were "good".
Definitely will go back.
Talked to Jim (owner, I believe) for a few minutes when we were done. He thinks they still need to get their act together, but I can attest they are much closer to "ready" than Midtown is in Needham.
re: L2k
Thanks for reporting back!
Did you see this article in the Globe?
re: sallyt
I have now, thanks!
re: sallyt
Great coverage of the opening - glad to see they are doing well. A follow-up: we made a large order before the holidays for a house party, and everyone was very impressed with the selection. I have been a pulled pork devotee, but I really liked the baby back ribs - they were fall-off-the bone. A note for larger orders - you can also request in advance to order the meats by the pint, as we did with the pulled pork. Everyone really liked the green chile & pork belly doughnuts - more like munchkins but doughy almost like a funnel cake. Hush puppies also had high marks, as well as the mac n' cheese sides. I'd had the beans and collared greens before and they have remained consistently good.
I tried Red Eyed Pig last night and really wanted to love this place. I'd give it a solid B. Tasty but not a destination. To sample diversely, I got St Louis ribs, beef brisket and fried smoked chicken with mac and cheese, beans and the pork belly jalapeno donuts. While the meats pass the sniff test (smoke on your fingers the next day), none were best in show. The ribs and brisket were dry without the wow factor that good BBQ has in the flavor department. The chicken (leg) was moist and a little smoky but the deep frying didn't add much. Beans used a red kidney bean and were sweet without much smoky depth. Mac and Cheese were creamy shells and sauce heavy in a good way. The donuts had a nice crispness and flavor but the dough was a little heavy. Overall, good but doesn't really compare with BT's in Sturbridge, which if you haven't been will redefine brisket for you. I would rate it a step below the current Soulfire and the former Blue Ribbon (when it was good) primarily based on the quality of the meat. This place is close to me so i would use it again, but it will not haunt my dreams.
re: gourmaniac
really need to get out to that BT place someday, maybe the next time we go visit the in-laws in upstate New York (I seem to remember Sturbridge being along the route), or take the little guy to Sturbridge Village. I have had RedEyes a few more times since my original post and agree, a B is a good score for now, not amazing, but the only other "BBQ" place (and youre about to find out why I used the scare quotes) in my area is BBQ Town, and frankly, they have a lot of nerve using BBQ in their name, I'm just sayin is all.
re: devilham
BT's is just off the pike (5 min from Sturbridge Village) and well worth it. I live near BBQ Town. LOL. Recently, they offered a free rib coupon the other way that i just tossed in the trash and my mama didn't raise me to throw away food. Just sayin.
re: devilham
BT;s is close to I 84 and I 90.
re: gourmaniac
I'd have to go B- or C. Big caveat, we couldn't order pork (don't ask) so I'll return for ribs or the pork belly plate. 4 of us split an underdone salty burger and boring fries, fried chicken plate and 3 meat platter. The smoked fried chicken was okay as was the mac n cheese, sour cream and chive mashed potatoes were excellent, decent cornbread (with no butter). But the brisket was kind of dry and boring; maybe I'm used to seeing it chopped but I was surprised to see a big slab. Didn't taste the regular bbq chicken. Was surprised they had no pulled chicken or fried catfish. Wasn't a fan of the cole slaw at all (one color cabbage, large pieces, kind of boring but not too mayonaissy at least) and the cheesy spinach didn't live up to the hype. We got peanut butter pie for dessert but it's served in these ridiculous, cost ineffective mason jars which might be fine for banana pudding but don't work when you want a bite of crust and pie together (but it was tasty). People working were nice and I will give it a proper pork tasting, but not impressed on first try.
re: gourmaniac
I would say that anyone who has been to Lockhart won't have brisket redefined for them by BTs
Finally got there, and for the most part the food was great. Got the fried, pimento-stuffed jalapeño, which was quite delicious, and still crispy after a 20 minute ride. Also had a three meat platter with brisket, St. Louis ribs, and pork belly. All were great, and thoroughly smoked, but the brisket was a little dry. The ribs were excellent, and had some decent bark. The pork belly was amazing - no overly piggy flavor, and the fat was rendered enough so that I could eat the whole thing without chewing on pieces that were pure fat (not that that would have stopped me). It was moist throughout as well. My favorite side was creamy spinach, unusual for BBQ, but excellent. Cole slaw was great and fresh tasting as well. I will definitely be back.
re: nsenada
i wrote this up on another thread yesterday. Was most impressed by the sides; all that we had were unique(didn't taste like everyone else's)and terrific: spinach, mashed pota, pota salad, cole slaw, hushpuppies, 'donuts'. Agree that frying added nothing to the lightly smoked moist chicken.
Also enjoyed the peach lemonade (not too sweet.) Talented folks, workiing hard.
re: opinionatedchef
It's been a while since we went. I thought the portions were very generous, but I was not impressed by the food. The brisket had a smoky taste without the red ring. It was also the thickest brisket I have ever seem, at least 4 inches including 1/2 inch of fat. Smoked fried chicken didn't do much for us - pick one or the other. Hushpuppies were okay, pulled pork was probably the best thing we had.
Tried the other night and it was pretty decent BBQ and very reasonably priced.
Meats: Brisket, the best of the 3 meats I sampled, very moist, slight hint of smoke, cut a little too thick as others have mentioned. Sausage, very moist, nice flavor but not much smoke. St. Louis ribs, the weakest of the 3 meats, moist but no smoke flavor, not enough of a dry rub flavor, and unfortunately I got the ends of 2 racks which tend to be smaller, less meaty and more well done.
Sides: my fav was the Mashed Potatoes though it was a very chunky version. Mac and Cheese was obviously homemade but was too bland. Potato Salad just ok.
Cornbread: don't bother. BBQ Sauces: ok, I used my own homemade instead of theirs.
They do give you a lot of food and the prices are good.

Never buy car insurance again?
For most drivers, buying a policy is a no-brainer, but in a handful of states, it's not required. Find out where you can skip the coverage.
Depending on where you live, you may be able to cruise the streets without auto insurance -- and you won't be breaking any laws.
In some states -- such as California, Tennessee, Washington, Texas and Ohio -- it's perfectly legal to skip carrying car insurance if you can prove you have the financial ability to cover liability costs if you get in a wreck. And if you live in New Hampshire, you don't even need to prove your financial fitness.
"New Hampshire is always contrary to other states," says James Van Dongen, a spokesman for the New Hampshire Department of Safety. "The Legislature has never felt that they should compel people to buy insurance."
Although you are not required to have auto insurance in New Hampshire, if you're uninsured and at fault in an accident, you will be required to post a bond or cash equal to the amount of damage you caused in that accident.
Options if you don't buy car insurance: Deposits, bonds
In other states, you need to either purchase car insurance or prove you can cover your costs.
California businessman Michael Reza went the latter route for more than a decade, as he spent his vacations traveling in Europe and purchasing cars in various countries. Because the cars were built to different standards than those sold in the California market, it also made them unique and difficult to replace. They were virtually impossible to insure, Reza says. Insurers couldn't compute a replacement cost for the cars, so they refused to provide coverage for them.
California requires drivers to have liability insurance, with a minimum of $15,000 in coverage for the injury or death of one person, $30,000 for more than one person, and $5,000 for property damage. In lieu of that, a California driver who doesn't want to buy car insurance can make a $35,000 cash deposit with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, post a surety bond for $35,000 or get a self-insurance certificate from the DMV.
Reza had no problem registering the vehicles, which included a Porsche from Germany and a Ferrari from Italy, but because he couldn't purchase auto insurance, he posted a $35,000 surety bond.
Typically, you can obtain a surety bond by paying a fee based on a percentage of the bond amount, and the issuer will extend credit, guaranteeing the full amount. You won't have to pay the full bond amount unless you're in a wreck and need to cover the liability costs. Fees for surety bonds vary greatly, depending on your credit history and state laws, among other things. But in general, they range from 1% to 4% of the surety bond amount if you have good credit. If you paid 4% for a $35,000 surety bond, it would be $1,400.
Reza primarily drove vehicles made for the American market, and the imports were cars he used on occasion, racking up a couple thousand miles per year. While he had some concern about being in an accident with such valuable vehicles, "I was more concerned about liability and other people," he says. "It makes you cautious."
Jan Mendoza, a spokeswoman for the California DMV, says the state doesn't keep track of the number of motorists who don't purchase auto insurance.
Individuals who don't buy car insurance have the financial ability to meet the $35,000 requirement, while corporations with 25 or more vehicles find it more cost effective to self-insure, Mendoza says.
Don't want to buy car insurance? Move to Ohio
Ohio is another state where you can choose between auto insurance and demonstrating the financial ability to cover liability if you're involved in a wreck.
If you choose not to carry auto insurance you must have one of the following:
- A $30,000 bond issued by a surety or insurance company.
- Money or government bonds worth $30,000 on deposit with the state treasurer.
- A certificate of bond issued by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles worth $30,000 and signed by two people who own real estate with equity of at least $60,000.
The state randomly selects about 5,400 vehicles each week to verify that they're insured, says Ohio BMV spokeswoman Lindsey Bohrer. Vehicle owners are mailed a notice requiring them to prove they have insurance. Those who don't respond or don't provide adequate proof of insurance can have their licenses suspended and may be prohibited from registering vehicles in the state.
Iowa insurance laws: Know the details
While Iowa's law doesn't mandate compulsory auto insurance, in reality drivers must buy car insurance or prove financial responsibility, says Mark Lowe, the director of the Iowa Motor Vehicle Division.
You can register a car in Iowa if you don't have insurance. But if you're stopped by a law enforcement officer, you must have proof of insurance, Lowe says.
If you don't have liability insurance, you must post a certificate of deposit or bond with the secretary of state that shows you have the financial resources to cover $55,000 in injuries and property damages if you're involved in an accident, he says.
Only a handful of individuals choose that option, he says. Typically a big company, such as a car rental agency, will decide to self-insure.
It's a different story in New Hampshire, where no liability insurance is required unless you've been in an at-fault accident. Van Dongen says the state doesn't record how many motorists have decided to go without insurance, but it's a small percentage of the population. He says those who go without "tend to be people with lower incomes, or they're young kids."
Because of that, if you're hit by an uninsured driver, the driver usually is "judgment-proof because he or she doesn't own anything," and instead your uninsured motorist coverage foots the bill, Van Dongen says.
More from Insurance.com:
If you get a ticket and you pay the fine, then you have already paid your due. There is no need to contact your insurance agency and have them raise your rates on you to the point you cannot afford insurance any longer.
However, having to show the ability to pay "if" you are in an auto accident is just another way of letting the rich people get away in not paying for auto insurance like the rest of the people do.
If one class of people have to pay for auto insurance, then the rest need to pony up and pay as well. No exceptions to the rules or the law.
I live in NM, a state that requires auto insurace. Why, I'm not quite sure. I've been hit 3 times, by mexicans who HAVE NO car insurance, HAVE NO drivers liense, LIVE ON WELFARE(provided by the good-old USA, of course), and ARE HERE ILLEGALLY. They get off scott-free (not even deportation) and I have to foot the bill, AGAIN! You want to see mexicans scatter? Wear a Border Patrol cap into your local Walmart!

The Monarch Butterfly (Danaus menippe) is classed as the "only true migratory insect in North America." The adult is quite a hardy individual; but in no stage of its life history is the Monarch able to withstand freezing conditions. Consequently, it cannot winter in the North. All individuals found in the North in summer have themselves migrated from the South where winters are mild, or they are the late summer offspring of such migrants.
Early spring broods of adults migrate northward in search of milkweed upon which to lay eggs. Successive broods appear farther and farther north as summer advances, following the milkweed season. This migration is not noted because no large numbers of butterflies are seen together. Thus, Monarchs reach Mount Rainier National Park usually in mid July.
The migration to the South is made in the early Fall, and is not noted this far north except by the absence of the species. Farther south large swarms of Monarchs are observed in autumn, migrating their way to a warmer clime.
Other insects make extensive flights seemingly for no reason at all. The flight of the Tortoise-shell Butterfly common to mountains (Aglais californica) is an example. This flight takes place after oviposition and does not constitute a true migration. An extensive flight of the Tortoise-shell was observed on Mazama Ridge in July of 1934. These butterflies were feeding busily on the blossoms of Mountain Ash and seemed to be moving up the ridge. Up to Labor Day of 1935, the Tortoise-shell had not made its appearance in numbers at Paradise.
During the summer of 1934 a large number of Lady-bird beetles were observed at McClure Rock. These insects undergo extensive flights after oviposition, and always move uphill.

Kareena Kapoor – Shahid Kapoor
Famous Duets
Shahid and Kareena appeared together in three films, of which two were total flops while the third was a giant blockbuster.
2004: 'Fida': The couple appears together in Ken Ghosh's thriller, which unfortunately fails to do well at the box office.
2006: '36 China Town': Another damp squib at the box office, this Abbas-Mustan directed vehicle is the couple's second film together
2007: 'Jab We Met': The pair is perfectly cast as Geet and Aditya in this film about missed trains, second chances and the glory of love.

text: content March 3, 2005 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive: U.S. life expectancy at all time high Protocol: Influenza Featured Products: Life Extension Mix Vitamin C capsules Life Extension Magazine March 2005 issue now online Life Extension Update Exclusive U.S. life expectancy at all time high (again)Despite the prevalence of such mortality risk factors as obesity and HIV, a report entitled "Deaths: Preliminary Data for 2003" released on February 28 2005 by the U.S. Center for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics estimated a 0.3 year increase in life expectancy compared to that of the previous year, bringing the average years one can expect to live from birth to a record high of 77.6 years. Although the increase from 2002's life expectancy may seem small, it confirms a trend that appears to show no signs of stopping. Age-adjusted death rates in 2003 were at the lowest point ever, with 831.2 deaths per 100,000 people reported. Death rates for eight of the 15 leading causes of mortality: heart disease, cancer, stroke, suicide, influenza and pneumonia, liver disease and cirrhosis, accidents and injuries, and pneumonitis, declined between 2002 and 2003. The percentage of deaths caused by homicides continued a downward trend that began in 1991, and no longer appears in the top 15 causes of death. Alcohol and drug-related deaths also fell, as well as deaths from HIV. Deaths from Alzheimer's disease, kidney disease, hypertension, Parkinson's disease all increased, reflecting an aging population. Heart disease and cancer remained the top killers, despite the decline in deaths related to these diseases. While the life expectancy of men in the United States has lagged behind that of women over the past few decades, men appear to be slowly catching up. Caucasian men can now expect to live 75.4 years and Caucasian women 80.5 years, in contrast with a gap of 7.8 years in 1979. Life expectancy for African-Americans continued to trail that of Caucasians, with men expected to live 69.2 years and women 76.1 years, however, the death rate for this group decreased to a greater extent between 2002 and 2003 than that of Caucasians. In the May 10 2002 issue of Science magazine, researchers from the Max Planck Institute plotted a precise linear trend in life expectancy that increased a quarter of a year per year, and noted that the pronouncements of life expectancy limits that have been made over the past century have continually been exceeded. The current report confirms this trend, since 0.3 year exceeds a quarter of a year. It is to be hoped that the coming years' reports will find a steeper increase, with less disparity between gender and race. Protocol InfluenzaAlthough the word "flu" is often applied to almost anything that makes us feel unwell, influenza should not be mistaken for the common cold or other airborne viruses. The flu differs significantly from the common cold in both the rapid onset of the illness and in the potentially life-threatening complications that can develop, especially in the elderly. Although most people recover within a week, serious problems can occur in newborn babies, people with certain chronic illnesses, and the elderly. Aging people are often deficient in vital micronutrients needed to maintain healthy immune functioning and defend against invading pathogens. A high-potency vitamin formula, such as Life Extension Mix, should be taken daily to provide adequate levels of nutrients that may be deficient due to poor absorption or inadequate diet. A study in The Lancet (Chandra 1992) found that seniors taking modest doses of a multivitamin/multimineral supplement containing zinc and selenium showed a general reduction in infection and required antibiotics for significantly fewer days. In another randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, it was shown that seniors taking zinc and selenium had significantly fewer infections over a 2-year period, but that vitamin supplementation alone did not have a major effect (Girodon et al. 1997). Those who received the zinc and selenium supplement experienced a reduction in the number of infections by nearly two-thirds compared to placebo. Still another study demonstrated that seniors supplementing with zinc and selenium show improved antibody response to the flu vaccine (Girodon et al. 1999). Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits and green vegetables. Vitamin C may help to improve immune function and relieve cold and flu symptoms. Researchers found that high doses of vitamin C decreased cold and flu symptoms by 85% compared to those who only took pain relievers and decongestants. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-051.shtml Featured Products Life Extension Mix Our bodies require nutrients for optimal health. Besides lifestyle changes and increased exercise, consumers are being urged to eat more fruits and vegetables. Yet, Americans are not eating the minimum recommendation of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Those who do report eating some produce often fail to consume the yellow and purple colored plants that are such critical components of a health program. Life Extension Mix™ contains 92 unique vegetable, fruit, herbal extracts, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and special antioxidants. The Life Extension Mix formula is fortified with botanical extracts that help to maintain health. Consumption of these types of plants is being recommended based on research emanating from the most prestigious medical centers in the world. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00764.html Vitamin C capsules As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress. Physical stresses on the body such as infections, cigarette smoking, extreme temperatures, ingestion of heavy metals, and chronic use of certain medications also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00081.html Life Extension Magazine March 2005 issue now online Reports On the cover: Katie Couric-- A personal tragedy sparks a public campaign to prevent colon cancer by Matt Sizing False and misleading: The media's unfounded attack on vitamin E The making of killer E: The truth behind the recent vitamin E controversy by Terri Mitchell Nutritional strategies for conquering colon cancer by Debra Fulghum Bruce, PhD Preventing Heart Disease and Depression with High-Dose Folic Acid by Debra Fulghum Bruce, PhD Departments As we see it: Death by regulation by William Faloon In the news: Curcumin exhibits strong anticancer effects; Lactoferrin shows unique bone-building ability; Vitamin K2 intake reduces heart disease risk; Supplements stop muscle wasting during bed rest; Artichoke extract relieves irritable bowel syndrome; Glycine may relieve insomnia, gastric ulcers; Vitamin C restores healthy blood flow in smokers Ask the doctor: Reducing dark circles and puffiness under the eyes by Gary Goldfaden MD Profile: Peter Glasser—Developing a successful treatment for lymphedema by Paul Gains March 2005 abstracts: colon cancer, vitamin E, folic acid If you have questions or comments concerning this issue or past issues of Life Extension Update, send them to email@example.com or call 954 766 8433 extension 7716.

Boasting one of the fastest growing economies in the world is allowing Indonesia to invest much-needed funds in its military. After years of stagnation caused by the 1997 financial crisis, leading to most of Indonesia's military acquisition programs being cancelled, the situation deteriorated further when the U.S. imposed an arms embargo in 1999 that lasted until 2005.
Indonesian National Armed Forces
Lockheed Martin agreed at the show this week to forge a teaming agreement with PT CMI Teknologi to pursue the NASRI (National Airspace Surveillance–Republic of Indonesia) program. This NASRI project seeks to greatly enhance the Indonesian military's ability to maintain air sovereignty over the country's widely spread territory, which includes 17,000-plus islands.

The Atlanta Falcons' latest pricey acquisition, Tony Gonzalez and his wife October were warmly initiated into the city's sports elite during a dinner at Chops in Buckhead over the weekend.
For starters, the posh eatery's owner, Pano Karatassos Sr. treated the transplants to a complimentary batter-fried lobster tail (one of his Buckhead Life Restaurant Group's signature dishes).
Then, NFL Hall of Famer and Chops regular Fran Tarkenton introduced himself and greeted Gonzalez with a hearty handshake. NBA legend Charles Barkley, who was watching the NBA playoffs in The Club at Chops, came upstairs and bought the couple a round of drinks.
According to dime-dropping diners, Gonzalez has already taken a liking to the local microbrew, Sweetwater Beer.
A shoeless Barkley and his TNT sports commentator buds, including Kenny Smith, were later spotted at Whiskey Blue atop the W Atlanta Buckhead with a group of 15 guests. Whiskey reps tell us the very thirsty group put away three bottles of Cristal champagne and two bottles of Grey Goose vodka.

Local Island Def Jam exec Ricardo Spicer held a private listening party/performance for Chrisette Michele over the weekend, but the biggest applause may have been for a non-Grammy winner who didn't sing one note.
The most romantic main attraction? Shekita Redding, whose boyfriend Mose James IV (a teacher at Tri-Cities High School) proposed to her as Michele sang. The future groom used a certain social networking Website to set up the surprise.
"That's what happens when you follow me on Twitter!" Michele told the Uptown Lounge audience after Redding said "yes," and publicist Nicole Garner presented Redding with a bouquet she just happened to have handy.
"Oh I've done this a number of times," Michele said after her brief set, previewing her May 5 release "Epiphany." "Usually I don't sing that particular song ('Golden') when the guy proposes…But you know, if someone asks me on Twitter, hey, it could happen."

Regis Philbin is going to be leaving 'Live with Regis and Kelly.' Yeh, the man who has been in front of a TV camera more than anybody in history has hit the skids.
So let's get this straight.
In April of 2010, Regis declares his admiration of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A month later, news of the Regis curse breaks on Live with Regis and Kelly.
The Pittsburgh Pirates 2010 season is one of the worst seasons in their history as the Bucs lose 105 games.
In January, network executives decide to whack his $18 to $20 million a season pay check.
It's probably all just a big coincidence right?

Me, as a fan, would like a proper show. Do something for ALL fans, not pleasing 1 fan at a time, for half the show. If you want to do GOOD fan service, do a excellent show that reflects the feedback given. Reading mail, sure good stuff, doing more of "funny" topics rather then deep topics about class balance, sure, even more so. But don't bore me with random names you can't pronounce from guild names you never heard about, that made me start fast forwarding making me think that perhaps this was a show worth dropping from my iTunes list.

Longtime market bull Jeremy Siegel says investors could realize the market is behind the curve on interest rates.
- Alibaba IPO a bonanza for select firms
A group of investors snapped up preferred shares through a private offering in 2012.
- Fracking gives energy boom room to run
Wells have become more productive -- a trend that should keep the fuels flowing.
The big machinery maker digs in for the long haul despite sluggish U.S. economic growth.
By J. Royden Ward, Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter
Caterpillar (CAT) is the world's largest manufacturer of earth-moving equipment. In addition, the company makes diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives.
The troubled financial institution is slowly crawling out of the hole it dug for itself.
According to Reuters, the Charlotte, N.C. company is considering unloading additional assets to comply with new capital rules. That's not surprising, given that the company has been selling everything -- $50 billion since 2010 -- that wasn't nailed down, including its stake in the largest Pizza Hut franchisee and the China Construction Bank.
Regulators "are trying to have us have more capital, more liquidity, so in a time of crisis, we can be there to support the economy and not have to shrink and retrench," CEO Brian Moynihan recently told the Boston Globe."We're all for that."
The carrier clearly had the most to lose if the AT&T and T-Mobile merger had gone through.
Sprint welcomed AT&T's move as "the right decision" for customers, as the deal would have created "an undeniable duopoly that would have resulted in higher prices, less innovation and fewer choices for the American consumer." Sprint also lauded the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice for a job well done.
Had the merger been approved, AT&T would have leapfrogged ahead of Verizon (VZ) as the largest wireless carrier in the U.S., leaving Sprint in an even more distant third place.
The giant e-tailer takes the long view with new shipping centers, aggressive pricing and growing customer base.
By Stephen Quickel,US Investment Report
Amazon.com (AMZN) is a controversial call that we think will bear rich fruit long-term, and should begin to perform nicely during 2012.
The giant Internet retailer, with revenues in the $50 billion range -- 10 times its sales in 2003 and twice its 2009 total -- has taken a great tumble.
Branded drugs are set to lose over $100 billion in revenue in the next few years, and Merck, like other large pharma companies, will need to develop new drugs to offset these losses.
Merck is the No. 2 pharmaceutical company in the world, offering prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, animal health and consumer care products. It delivered nearly $46 billion in revenue in 2010 with a profit of $861 million, or 28 cents a share. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings were $3.42 a share.
Merck competes with other pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer (PFE), Abbott Labs (ABT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Glaxo SmithKline (GSK) and Roche.
Regulators are investigating whether a recent infant death was related to the company's Enfamil product.
From fast food to salons and energy to tech, here are some ideas with great long-growth potential.
There is still potential for short-term market drops back toward the August lows, and until that probability is greatly reduced, it would be prudent to continue to hold a large cash reserve.
In the meantime, we continue to track numerous stocks with great growth potential; here, we present the current top prospects. If you do choose to invest in some of these, take care to buy on dips. And if you incur losses, keep them small, so you'll still be in the game when the next big bull market gets rolling.
The new 4G device has impressive features, but competitors aren't standing still.
Mobile technology heading into 2012 is all about the marriage of two features: the lowest price tag and the highest specifications. Look no further than Apple's (AAPL) strategy with the recently released iPhone 4S. With a two-year contract at Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T) or Sprint (S), you can get a fine iPhone that sports a voice-operated personal assistant and an 8-megapixel camera that can shoot HD video in 1080p -- all for just $200. Some fancy specifications and a nice price.
Sony (SNE), true to tradition, is pushing at least the high-end aspect with its latest mobile devices.
Gogo aims to raise $100 million in an offering to help it expand operations.
The company is the main provider of on-board Wi-Fi in the U.S., and needs more money to expand its business. Gogo has filed paperwork to raise $100 million in an initial public offering, and will trade under the ticker symbol GOGO.
Gogo handles in-flight Internet for nine of the 10 North American airlines that offer the service, including Delta Air (DAL), Alaska Airlines (ALK), US Airways (LCC) and American Airlines, owned by AMR (AMR). It's on a trial basis with United Airlines (UAL).
The business uniform supplier blows past analyst estimates and raises 2012 guidance.
By Todd Bunton
Cintas (CTAS) delivered excellent second-quarter 2012 results Tuesday. Earnings per share came in at 57 cents, crushing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9 cents. It was a whopping 50% increase over the same quarter in 2011.
Revenue rose 9% to a record $1.02 billion, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1 billion. Organic revenue increased a solid 7% as the company maintained momentum in its rental uniforms and ancillary products segment, as well as in its first aid, safety and fire protection services segment. Operating income improved 30% year-over-year, while operating margin improved from 10.9% to 13%.
The video-streaming and DVD company is cutting the annual stock-option allowance for Reed Hastings.
The company has cut Hastings' annual stock-option allowance by half to $1.5 million, Bloomberg reports. A year ago, he was given $3 million in stock options.
Hastings didn't get a raise, either. His salary of $500,000 will stay the same.
Despite many challenges, Jamie Dimon's bank will be one of the winners on the new Wall Street.
Analyst Todd Hagerman of Sterne Agee hit the nail on the head when he identified headwinds that JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is going to face in the coming months. They range from the sluggish global economy to the new regulatory environment and other "structural changes that are affecting most of the bank's core businesses."
And maybe Hagerman is right to suggest caution when it comes to loading up on the bank's stock -- on Wednesday he cut his rating on JPMorgan shares to "neutral" from "buy." Certainly, JPMorgan's much-lauded CEO Jamie Dimon appears to have a tin ear regarding the world beyond Wall Street, having dismissed the financial crisis as just another cyclical downturn and, more recently, shrugged off populist outrage at the behavior of behemoth banks.

Did management pass on possible acquisition talks?
There's really no way to sugarcoat it: Research In Motion (RIMM) is rapidly spiraling the drain toward irrelevance.
There are plenty of ways it could have avoided its current quandary, starting by taking the advice of shareholders and employees instead of allowing co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie to blindly charge ahead with their misaligned strategy. Reports are now surfacing that there could have been another outcome; it didn't have to be this way.
Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Monsanto and Accenture are a few names that could benefit if these events come to pass.
By Peter Leeds, guest columnist
The coming year will see major events play out, such as the presidential election, continued turmoil in Libya, and the potential fall of the euro. Each of these will create some key investment opportunities. Based on analysis I conduct for my financial newsletter, I'm expecting the following events to occur in 2012. I normally focus on penny stocks, but here I list some larger stocks I think will enjoy strong performances as a result of these events.
1. Obama will be re-elected
Based on percentages coming in from 9 battle ground states, and the number of electoral college votes from each, it appears that Obama would win if the election were held today. I expect his lead to increase as the campaign enters full swing.
The list includes names poised for capital appreciation over the next year.
A dynamic, actively managed portfolio, the S&P Top Ten Portfolio is comprised of stocks that S&P Equity Research believes to be well positioned for solid capital appreciation over the next 12 months.
Stocks must have our highest five-stars ranking to enter the portfolio. If the ranking drops below four stars, the stock will be removed.
In addition, any stock in the portfolio may be replaced with a five-star stock at any time.

[BRIEFING.COM] The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 hover just north of their respective flat lines, while the Russell 2000 sports a solid gain of 0.6% after showing relative weakness yesterday.
Yesterday, the small-cap index reclaimed its 100-day (1150) and 200-day (1151) moving averages, but could not overtake the 50-day moving average (1152), which served as the session high for the index. Today, however, the Russell 2000 has climbed above that level and currently trades near the middle ... More

ThinkBaby's mums reveal the weird and wonderful changes they noticed during pregnancy
Pregnancy affects us all differently. Some mums-to-be enjoy that much-talked-about pregnancy "glow" while others find themselves with swollen ankles and itchy skin. We asked our ThinkBaby mums on Facebook to tell us what they noticed most about how their bodies changed when they were pregnant.
Changes in this department can be popular! "My boobs grow like crazy when I'm pregnant and breastfeeding after," says Gemma P. "With both pregnancy they have expanded five cup sizes from my normal (fairly pathetic looking) B cups to F Cups! Quite enjoying the novelty of cleavage."
But Laura M was none-too-impressed with her "Dark, chocolate biscuit like nipples"!
Glowing skin?
Some mums-to-be really do glow. "My skin changed a lot," explained Jenna K. "So many people told me how great I looked and I really felt amazing too, and the compliments I was getting boosted my confidence even more, I was very lucky!"
But on the other end of the scale, "I became a snake overnight!" said Joanna G. "My skin became so dry and itchy, my hubby said you could tell where I had been from the shedding… but my baby girl was worth it!"
All about hair
Some of our mums found they had wonderfully glossy manes in pregnancy but it's not always good, though. Hair loss in pregnancy is fairly common, but did you know you can also grow downy hair in places you wouldn't expect? "I have a hairy tummy! The joys, eh?" Louise H told us.On the insideWhatever changes everyone else is noticing, what's happening inside is the most important. "I smiled all the way through my pregnancy. Even when people looked at me as though I had a disease! I never complained once and loved every minute of it," said lucky Melanie H. Plus, we had plenty of mums noticing their "Princess Fiona ankles", tiredness, breathlessness and increased (and in some cases decreased) libidos. What changes did you notice?

In an earlier news post, I said a bunch of French and Swiss climbers were on their way to the Red River Gorge. Given what I'm about to tell you now, evidence would suggest this was not entirely correct and that they have already been there for a week or so.
During this week, especially CÈdric Lachat has been very productive indeed.
At The Chocolate factory he managed to make a French first go* ascent of Jonathan Siegrist's Pure imagination, 9a.
For The Golden ticket, 9a, at the far right of the same crag, he needed five tries. He also onsighted Omaha beach, 8b+, at The Motherload.
If your French is better than mine, you can get a lot more information from the video below.

Tar Baby and I decided to see a movie Friday night and noticed an old Humphrey Bogart movie was playing at the Castro. My cab driver seemed particularly excited about our choice in films.
"God, I love that shit."
"Yeah, me too." I offered, slightly scared. Meanwhile, Tara kept texting me.
"I'm here."
"Should I get tickets?"
"In line."
"You close?"
Jesus Christ, lady! I'm in a cab! But once we pulled up to the theater, I understood her urgency. The place was mobbed, and not mobbed in a good way with drag queens and saucy gays. Oh no. Friday night, the Castro was mobbed with middle-aged women in Eileen Fisher and men trying to wear a fedora that hasn't seen the light of day since The Steinberg's Al Capone-themed Spaghetti Feed.
"What the hell is going on?" I screamed at Tara, trying her best to breathe amidst the crowd, her handbag caught on some 50 year-old's wallet chain.
"It's Noir City, a noir film festival and tonight's the opening. At least that's what I've overheard."
We made our way inside, forced to sit in the balcony which would be fun save for the fact our knees were pushed up to our chins trying not to step on the mix of Dooney & Burke and hemp totebags piled on the floor.
And of course (OF COURSE) we were surrounded by "buffs" who felt the need to gasp through their applause at the odd yet appreciated montage of dead movie stars which preceded the film. I utilized my standard passive-aggressive way of shutting up the talkers seated directly behind us with my patented face-turn wherein they just see my profile which silently asks, "Are you talking to me? You must be ... because I can hear you."
The movie was great! Even surrounded by people who take adult education classes so they can talk about it at progressive cocktail parties, we enjoyed Deadline, USA. I really wish people still talked like they did in 1952.
"That's the press, baby! The press!"
"How're you feeling?" "Amorous."
"I don't like him. I'll think of a reason later."
As the credits rolled, Tara and I squeezed ourselves out and grabbed some nicotine-filled air on the sidewalk. Instantly, some guy who saw Swingers too many times says a great big "Hello!" to Tara and it's clear she knows him, but doesn't remember his name. Thus, I stood there like a doofus because she couldn't introduce me. Quickly, Tar Baby excused herself and finally explained where she knew him from, name still unknown.
"Wait, wait, wait." I stopped her on the sidewalk. "You mean that's the No-Hand-Washer?"
Yeah, this guy doesn't wash his hands after he uses the restroom. That's his most memorable characteristic and one that's stuck with me for months, ever since Tara told be about this fella she knew who silently refused to lather-up post pee.
Since she's met him, Tara's been relaying this story to a few folks and on occasion, tells it to a certain type of single guy "who totally agrees with me but I can tell he's making a brand new mental note that, uh, he should wash his goddamn hands after he pees."
Oh dear.
I'm pretty sure Humphrey stopped at the sink on his way back to the bar. And as for me, well, I no longer shake hands with single 30-somethings who seem to return from the latrine fast faster than one might expect. Or hope...

Remember Sean Wilsey's dad in Oh the Glory Of It All?
"You should wash your hands first, before you use the urinal. Not after. Your penis isn't dirty. But your hands are."

generic is actually correct. I've got a press pass for the Film Noir festival and was also there for "Deadline U.S.A." Sorry I didn't bump into you. My favorite line, after the baddies have pretended to be policemen, killed the main witness, and the police are investigating: "Can't you tell the difference between the cops and the crooks?" Reply: "In this town?" By the way, the weirdo next to me obviously had Ass Burger's Syndrome.

I recently revalved my suspension, and the stock nylon collars were garbage. I replaced it with the Fastway Billet Shock Preload Collars and it works amazing. They don't strip from being under pressure from the shock spring, and they aren't damaged from hammering on them with punches, and look great on the bike. Absolutely worth every dime. I will absolutely buy again for my next KTM.Read All Reviews

Donors help keep Palestinians in cages
International aid donors are using Palestine as a laboratory for a neo-liberal economic experiment.
"Israel besieges us, puts us in cantons — in cages — and the international community is feeding us in these cages. It's anything but developmental and it's helping Israel's colonization, ethnic cleansing and dispossession," Dr. Samia Botmeh said, as she sat in her office in the Center for Development Studies (CDS) at Birzeit University near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
