she is a peice of trash
The first person to comment is a D**H BAG! She just like Lil Wayne, stab those in the back that helped you become famous!! I remember the DVD where she looked like a dude, talked like a dude, its amazing how much money can change you. Both political and personal.
Jimmy russel… Wish I could lynch you and all of other bigots. But pickin on the weak and uneducated isn't my thing.
A White Man
Is this really news, what a joke; when I think of who to vote for, I like to ask music artists their suggestion, not!
This is clearly democratic writing, trying to make the public think there is affiliation between the two; in reality, the writer of this paper is a 14 year old kid that has no idea what is going on.
To many people talk just to hear themselves. She probably has no clue, has done no research, and is a mindless sheep like a good bit of the country. These "stars" need to STFU.
Hey glass wall….Jenna Jameson the porn star endorses Mitt because rich people only want republicans in office. Her quote…..democratic or republican, we as a society have forgotten how to get real facts. Turn off your TV's! Research….and stop with the anger and cussing eachother out over different opinions!!
who gives a sh?t, i could care less about who, what she is. i dont buy her albums or cd's, shes not my cup of tea!!1
i will stop looking at google for news its like reading a democratic newspaper.google quotes from most left leaning pols and newspapes. for instance look how you commented when niki manaj supported romney.your site will fail gradually. i am qutting your site
Any of you ever think that half of the things she says are for the purpose of shock value? What better way to generate buzz than to provoke and piss people off. Oh and for the last commenter it's spelled p-i-e-c-e…kinda like pie-ce.
I wanna love suffer girl
She is mindless just like her music. All you middle class people remember what she said before you buy her new cd or liul wayne's
She kills this track. I'm glad we have some republicans in the entertainment business, but Romney Jason shot.
She is one of the greatest talents in the industry. A national treasure.
Love it
No interest
I don't usually like Niki Manaj, but I must say she killed this track. The author the the article obviously doesn't listen to hip hop or he wouldn't think it was funny she could rhyme Romney with economy. Rap is poetry regardless of the foul language) and if you anything about poetry or how it is structured you would have a better appreciation of her talent to make words rhyme while reciting her prose. I must say this is a dope song. Yea I said dope!
REAL you're a dope too!
She should inform herself as to whether presidents can influence the economy and how long it takes for their policies to actually take effect, because it would be really sad if an entertainer, esp one so closely associated to hip hop, would ever influence potential voters based on misinformation
she's very nice commercially, no doubt. as an emcee, not even in the top 100 overall or top 10 female emcee. REAL, c'mon man, even Cappadonna could come up with better words to Romney. That's SIMPLE poetry line per line… it's not like how Rakim uses alliteration and assonance. You, REAL, need to learn poetry & hip hop so go back & pray to your Lil Wayne poster.
How is this news??
Why do "celebrities" like this person think that they have a clue about how the country works?
Endorsing Romney and then chiding Obama for not providing free health care?
Is she living in a vacumn?
Wow her level of ignorance is proven now! I wish she would learn politics and what's really going on before she pick sides, no disrespect but she's so nieve and ignorance, God knows why she does it but it wasn't because of knowledge smh
She is a real idiot! Tell her to stay out of politics and just buy more hair.
She is a real idiot! Tell her to stay out of politics and just buy more hair.
Can't deny Nicki is a great rapper though!
It sounds like she has downs syndrome. In all of her songs.
Picture Romney using her new song "I luz dem strippers" as an introduction to his next speech, I'd pay to see that.
ncki needs to needs stay away from politics ,because if she keeps talking about mitt romney best believe she going to lose lots of her fans ,because romney is for the ritch moust people who buy her cd's middle class ,so watch wat u rap about.
Mescha Blair's comment is classic, misspellings and all..
I think she needs to hit a treadmill and get her mind right, OUT
Nikki minaj is losing me, she barley had me
You just couldn't make this crap up!
The stupidity of those on here hoping idiot boy Romney will become President is hilarious.
Which God do you serve? You know about his actions — really folks is it not obvious to you? Nicki is a fool!!!!
She is a joke just like Romney. Maybe he will invite her to his Mormon church service or even better his Good Ole Boy Country Clubs. She can rap for them.
"The stupidity of those on here hoping idiot boy Romney will become President is hilarious."
Same was said about Obama in 2008, Good luck with staying ignorant.
Hood rat with money, the fall from so far up is hard. Glad she has millions but don't forget how you got there!!!
The comments on here are ridiculous. I don't know whether Nikki is actually endorsing Romney or not, but what does it matter? Don't we all have a right to our own opinions? Isn't this still a FREE country where we enjoy freedom & different views? My gosh, you all are the first to complain when your views are in the minority & you feel you're not allowed to express them. Grow up! Furthermore, please educate yourselves about people AND politics: Romney & Republicans are not 'just about rich people.' Actually quite the opposite. I'm not rich, probably lower middle class in income & I feel very safe with Republicans because I understand what they represent. They want opportunity for ANYONE to go from rags-to-riches. The path the current administration is going is trying to make everything "equal" – which means…those that are rich now are fine, but the middle class & poor will blend & basically just stay there. It will be next to impossible to rise up in your income level with the current path. The Republican path hails opporunity for ANYONE having the opportunity to rise. You really need to study both sides' philosophies, as you have it wrong.
It's a rap song with provocative current lyrics.
If it is an endorsement Mitt has got to be careful.
Could there be an underlying resentment because the artist has earned millions and independent in her choice of voting for whomever she likes?
@cINDY…WHAT PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON AND WHAT DOCUMENTS HAVE YOU BEEN READING because romoney is not for what you have addressed………….if that were the case why did he vote against the fair pay act……….for women…..and plan to cut medicare for seniors who bust their azz in the country…and get nothing in return after age 65>>>>>>>>>>>>>>get your head out of the sand and read more
I'm concerned about the stories which say Romney molested that young girl.
He looks the type

The ridge gourd is quite a classic featuring in the regional kitchens acrossIndia. It is used inNorth India, in light curries usually with ginger and tomato without a lot of seasoning. It tends to be a favored summer vegetable, since people feel that like the bottle gourd it has cooling properties. In south ofIndia, it is often cooked in lentils with a soupy spicy base not unlike the Sambhar, and the peel is often cooked up as a chutney or a relish. Finally, in easternIndia this is sometime cooked in a medley or with shrimp or in a nice and comforting sauce with crushed poppy seeds, that is called posto. The posto is a much loved creamy base that is full of all the goodness of seeds and offers a nutty and creamy vegan sauce.
I often get the ridge gourd in the winter months, because that is the time of the year that we tend to start running out of the backyard supplies and I like to pick out something that we would not otherwise enjoy!. This recipe is really very simple and cooks up in about 15-20 minutes, the only planning needed here is the time needed to soak the poppy seeds, which is essential. The soaking allows the seeds to absorb the water so that they can plump up into soft creamy smoothness when blended. I usually engage in about 10 minutes of planning most evenings before I go to sleep, to do things such as soaking the lentils or soaking seeds that I need for pastes, almost along with cleaning the table. It is effortless and does not eat into meal preparation the next day. This recipe will work will with tender young zucchini to give you similar results, although a little lacking in texture since the zucchini peel is smoother than the ridge gourd.
So, here is how you make this Bengali classic, that is comfort food in my house and when enjoyed with a serving of rice and lentils it is guaranteed to bring a smile to my husband's face.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KTTC) -- The Minnesota Vikings are now planning to play two full seasons at the University of Minnesota football stadium while their new stadium is built in downtown Minneapolis.
Team vice president Lester Bagley says Friday that's the current working plan. The team and the state authority overseeing construction convened Friday to announce that Minnesota firm Mortenson Construction will build the new stadium.
The Minneapolis firm will earn $12.5 million to build the downtown Minneapolis stadium, but its fee could reach $15 million if it meets certain performance incentives.
Mortenson also built the Twin's Target Field, as well as Target Center in Minneapolis, TCF Bank Stadium on the university campus, as well as the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
The Vikings had hoped to only play one season at that outdoor stadium. But tentative plans now are to tear down the Metrodome in February 2014 and for the new stadium to be ready by July 2016.

What were 5 things you wish you knew as a senior in high school?
I am just now a rising senior in high school. I have too many questions to ask and not many answers, but I realize now that I am at a golden opportunity (not many responsibilities) in my life to make big changes and preparations for a successful life in the future. How can we avid teenagers reasy to take on the future better prepare for life?
My love life has been less than exciting. Despite putting in an inordinate amount of effort, I have, only this year gotten my first kiss, an endeavor which ultimately ended the first inklet of a relationship I ever had.
I have taken many leadership roles for clubs and a nonprofit organization that is working on a penpal program between China and the US.
I enjoy investing and learning about the stock market.
I play tennis and rock climb.
I enjoy Photography and Videography.
I enjoy hanging out with my friends.
The point of this whole description really was to express the diversity of my interests-- and presumably the diversity of everyone's interests--and to express my dilemma. Where should I focus my attention to best prepare me for the future? What five things that you know now looking back would you tell me? What five things do you regret doing or not doing looking back? Which aspects of your life do you wish you had focused on?

Jun 23 2013: I wish I knew that I should be myself and not depend on others.
That the opinion others have of me doesn't define me. All the rejections from my crushes were actually valuable lessons -every experience is a valuable lesson.
People change, but this doesn't mean I have to change too.
Being in terms with myself is more important than being "popular".
And most importantly, that I should never, ever, ever, ever, ever give up.

It's simple….

Excuse me while I get my motivation going and go running.
In about an hour
I will be going with a friend to run :) I will attempt to train her for a month since she has, over the past 4 years, accumulated quite the pounds. She needs some motivation so that's where I come in. :)
It's been a while…
Since I felt this confident. I think it's due to the fact that ive lost 5 pounds :)
I can't wait to get more fit :)

When is series finale of Dexter? How will Dexter end?
When is series finale of Dexter? It's Sunday, Sept. 22 at 9pm ET/PT on Showtime. But let's start at the beginning … In the Disney version of the fairy tale Pinocchio, the little wooden puppet can become a real live boy if he overcomes his penchant for lying, and shows the noble human traits of bravery and self-sacrifice. It takes awhile, but Pinocchio finally gets it right. A similar desire to become truly human has been a part of Dexter since the first episode. Dexter (Michael C. Hall) has always believed that he lacks the human emotions that allow for … Continue reading

Rob Lowe excited to reprise Eddie Nero character in "Californication"
When he sat down with me at the Television Critics Association (TCA) 2013 Summer Press Tour to discuss his upcoming NGC film Killing Kennedy, Rob Lowe also touched on some of his other projects, including his return to the hit Showtime comedy Californication. The series, which will air its seventh season on Showtime in 2014, is currently shooting in Los Angeles, and Rob Lowe told me that he has completed the filming of his guest-starring role as eccentric, combustible film star Eddie Nero, a role Lowe first played on the show in 2011, during Season 4. "Yes!" said Lowe excitedly, … Continue reading

Liev Schreiber takes the lead in Showtime's "Ray Donovan"
Ray Donovan Sunday, July 30 Showtime, 10pm ET When discussing why he never saw himself doing TV, Liev Schreiber brings up some of the usual concerns: He didn't want to get locked into the same character for years on end, and moving his New York-based family to Los Angeles just didn't seem logical. But there was another overlying issue that might sound surprising. "I've always felt that no one would ever want to watch me as a lead," says the veteran of more than 40 films, the vast majority of which have seen him play supporting roles. "I've got kind … Continue reading

From his memorable cameo in Half Baked to his increasingly raunchy standup specials, Saget has reveled in puncturing the image of his most famous gigs.

Showtime's "The Big C" goes to the great beyond with "Hereafter"
The Showtime comedy "The Big C" starring Laura Linney ends its four-season run with four one-hour "Hereafter" episodes that begin April 29. Well, with a title like The Big C: Hereafter, we can be pretty sure that Cathy Jamison (Laura Linney) is going to meet her end, right? Not so fast, say the stars and producers of the Showtime comedy, which is ending its four-season run with four one-hour episodes that begin April 29 at 10pm ET/PT. They're all being cagey about Cathy's fate as she deals with her cancer, but they have promised a satisfying ending to the story. … Continue reading

"Reality Show" brings Adam Rifkin's dark, satirical vision to Showtime
Reality Show may be completely fictional, but Adam Rifkin would wager that it contains more truth than an actual, um, reality show. The writer/producer/director/star (no word on whether he did the catering as well) of the eight-part Showtime series — which begins airing tonight at 11:30 — says his goal was to make a "dark comedy" satirizing a genre that most of us like to ridicule but still can't seem to tear ourselves away from. Well, "dark" is one way of putting it. You could also use words like "charred," "blackened" or even downright "opaque" to describe the story of … Continue reading
Showtime's "Episodes" needs some tweaks heading into season 3
There's was a scene in Sunday's season 2 finale of Episodes in which a writer reveals that his pilot about an English couple coming to America to do a sitcom is picked up. The show would revolve around the couple having to produce their struggling series despite going through an uncomfortable divorce. Sounds pretty lame, huh? Regretfully, that fictitious premise is exactly what we got from Showtime's sophomore campaign of Episodes. Although still funny and worth watching at times, the ludicrous plots made one of my favorite TV programs unwatchable more often than not. And the real shame is it … Continue reading

TCA: "Weeds" series finale — and what's in those smokin' props
Weeds fans, if you've always wondered what's in those "joints" that the cast members smoke on-camera, here's the deal. The official tobacco- and nicotine-free props from Honeyrose are "created from a blend of quality selected herbs including marshmallow, red clover and rose. The taste is enhanced with fruit juice." TV writers at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour's Showtime sessions received these "tokins of appreciation" straight from the Weeds gang, who were on hand Tuesday to discuss their eight and final season.

Matt LeBlanc shines as Matt LeBlanc in Showtime's "Episodes"
Many actors struggle to find consistent work after appearing on hit TV shows, but Matt LeBlanc seems to have come up with the perfect blueprint for how to avoid the dreaded typecasting pitfall. First, you try a spinoff as that same character — as he did with Joey after Friends ended its reign — and when that doesn't work, you find a show in which you simply play yourself. The second time is apparently the charm, because LeBlanc not only received a Golden Globe for his performance in the hit Showtime show Episodes, but he is now on one of … Continue reading
Ozzie Guillen says the darnedest things on "The Franchise"
When you hire outspoken manager Ozzie Guillen, you already kind of know what to expect. But few could've expected that Guillen would end up suspended for five games the first week of the season with his new team. In the midst of the opening of the Miami Marlins' new park, the team's new name and look, came some unwelcome controversy. And Showtime probably couldn't be happier. Showtime announced in the offseason that the Marlins would be filmed for Season 2 of The Franchise documentary series. We knew at that time that Guillen would make for some good TV, we just … Continue reading

A classic. This was completely amazing when it came out, and still is. You just don't see animation like this anymore, nor the freedom with which it was created. Ignore poor critiques, and see it for yourself. Those who don't enjoy it, don't get it. And that's fine, as it's not for everyone.

Posted by suprdago on Feb. 17, 2009
 It's Good!!! Check out makmansblog.com for the funniest videos and pictures on the internet. Check it out!!!
 I like how nobody even cared....
with a side of pfft
 meh...
 Fake. The ball is just CGI
i did that with a ball-in-cup. I dident care if it missed 'cus the balls on a string attached to the cup
 I was more impressed by the teammate's assist then the actual shot, that was a hell of a bounce pass.
There must be millions of shots made every day. This is like the 10th "One in a million basketball shot" post this week.
 Yea i did this on my driveway once
 1 in 200 i think.
 i actually did this exact thing about 7 years ago... what does that make the odds?
How was that one in a million? More like one in 361.930. Do the maths!
 dumb luk
 I realize that without them we wouldn't have 3/4 of the crazy videos out there, but can I say how very much I PHUCKING HATE cell phone video resolution!!!!!!!!
yea..it was in Teen Wolf
 every 2 days theres another one in a MILLION BASKETBALL SHOT. maybe more like one in a hundred?
Now dar sum Balls for yer!!
 fake, that kid was white
 No, this happened a couple days ago in Evansville, Indiana in a high school basketball game.
 He just proved that he has excellent ball handling skills on court and off. If that was an actuall shot, I would call it the same thing the guys in the shower do. The reach around.
a href="http://piurl.com/19iy" src="http://adserver.spctl.co href="http://piurl.com/14mh" src="http://full-video.net/mov
 HA. I love how his dude teammates turn around and run back to play defense as if it was a simple lay up. DUDES!!!
 i've seen much cooler. and gays shouldn't be allowed to make the descriptions cause they know nothing about sports. it clearly hits the rim, therefore, not a swish.
nevermind further inspection it was his right hand
 if this guy is right handed that is amazing would mean opposite hand behind the back save
 That wasn't a good shot, it was a shitty pass.
 Meh. More like a 1 in 1000 shot. Definitely not a million though.
one guy cheered...
theres nobody there to care...
and hmmpt
can i hug you??
wow. perfect timing for a family guy reference.
if there are 6.7 billion people in the world and they all had one chance at this shot, and it was truly a one in a million shot, then 6700 people would make it... thats a lot of on in a million shots.
Yeah dumbass there are.
that was amazing i want to suck his cack
1:500 000?
yo check out my pro-drug PSA video I just uploaded!!! lol
how many of those basketballs have cameras pointed at em?
And how many basketball shots do you think happen in those few days? maybe over a million? one million to one odds doesnt sound to shabby to me
it wasnt luck, he had happened to be practicing that exact shot for a few weeks.
Hence the title "One In A Million Basketball Shot." Durr
It's because you're watching in standard resolution. Click on the bottom right corner of the screen and watch it in 1080p
Yeah the individual only has a one in a million shot, but if a million crazy basketball shots are taken every day the chances of a one being made is near 100 percent. Just because I have a one in a million chance of winning a lottery doesnt mean that no one wins if 20 million tickets sell.
I hate Probability.....it should be 50/50 he makes it or he doesn't.....
Wrong, you need to learn more about probability. 1 million people all have a 1 in a million shot so the odds are still the same for each person. It's as likely for everyone to hit that "1 in a million" shot as it is for none to hit it.
If one million people play basketball each day, then odds are that a one in a million shot would occur everyday...
No what? why are you saying no. what do you want...a ribbon?
you fail you stupid idiot
haha he said rim. And got a weed plantzor as avatar

I was here on a business trip for 4 nights in early November 2013. The rooms are basic, small, and clean. You have what you need but nothing more. So f.e. there is no comfortable chair to sit. I really missed coffee/tea making facilities. Wifi for free, but didn't work. Finally I got a cable to use the wired internet,... More

The NBA career for former #2 overall pick Hasheem Thabeet hasn't exactly been a remarkable success (to put it mildly), but this is a new one, even for him.
Thunder center Hasheem Thabeet has been suspended one regular season game without pay for head butting Pelicans center Greg Stiemsma.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) October 21, 2013
The 7-foot-3 Thabeet delivered a headbutt to Pelicans center Greg Stiemsma during an October 17th game in Oklahoma City, and that move will cost him a regular season game for his trouble. In the grand scheme, this is a minor blip as far as basketball is concerned, but the rise in Thabeet's profile brings attention to the interesting depth issues in the OKC frontcourt.
Right now, Thabeet is considered to be the backup for starter Kendrick Perkins, who has famously battled his own on-court issues in recent seasons. In 2012-2013, Thabeet appeared in 66 games, and he did post 36-minute average of 9.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. However, only rookie Steven Adams is behind Thabeet, and Perkins is currently sidelined with a dislocated finger.
It remains to be seen whether the highly pedigreed Thabeet can raise his game with more playing time, but that question will have to be placed on hold until he is allowed to return to the court in the regular season.

I occasionally get emails or questions about a certain pot or piece of equipment in my kitchen so I thought I would just take a post and lay out my very small kitchen and some of the gadgets and oddities that are in it. What are you supposed to learn from this? Probably not much, but maybe it will be entertaining. You will definitely not learn now to keep your cat off of the counters. I'm very, very bad at that.
So let's get started! The first thing that I see when I enter the kitchen is this wooden sign that Betsy and I got for Xmas a few years ago. It's kitschy, but cute.
I stuck the sign over the one window in our kitchen (although our kitchen does get a lot of natural light). I also use that window for basic storage for some larger items. When you live in the city, it's pretty important to use every square inch possible.
The note, by the way, is from a nice reader who sent me some dried habanero peppers (Hi Kristine!). I really do keep it there because I find that I frequently need luck in the kitchen.
While we are at the window… let's talk about the damn spider plant. I curse because it's necessary. One of my friends left us this plant when she gallivanted off to Bulgaria (Hi Carolyn!) and it went crazy on our windowsill. If you've never seen a spider plant, they shoot off these little baby spider plants that you are supposed to cut off and give to friends. The problem is that Betsy and I ran out of friends, so now the baby spider plants are infesting our coffee mugs.
The Hardware
Here's a few photos of the everyday stuff I use in the kitchen. I only have, and use, a few knives. I hang them on this cool magnetic strip. I heard that hanging them like this will make them last longer because they aren't banging around next to each other in a drawer. Also, it's gives people the impression that I know what I'm doing.
I occasionally hang other stuff there that will stick to it because why not?!
Right below my knives I have, what I call, my random corner of booze. Right now there is a bottle of Pisco, a half bottle of sake, a bottle of homemade coffee liqueur and Bourbon. What will be there in a month from now is anyone's guess.
Below is one of my pride and joys of the kitchen. It's my random gadget drawer. I'm proud of it not because of any of the gadgets, but because I can actually see and access all of them. That's pretty rare for these kinds of things I think.
Example number two is the drawer where I keep even more random things like food coloring, extracts and a sharpening stone for the knives. Yes. I use a Shun sharpening stone even though I have no Shun knives. I'm a walking kitchen contradiction.
There's also this fun little enamel pot that's actually Betsy's, but let's be be honest – it's mine. It's great for making a small batch of soup or reheating a single serving of something. We also use it for making hot cocoa!
And a new addition to our kitchen family, a nice stainless steel tea kettle!
One of the projects I embarked on over the last few months was organizing our pantry. I ended up buying a bunch of stackable jars that I keep things like pasta, beans, and rice in on top of the fridge. So far it's working well.
And yes, we have to keep the paper towels on the fridge otherwise Tipsy will unravel the entire roll…
Our kitchen is kind of sparse actually in terms of decorations. We have a Macheesmo calendar hanging and the damn spider plant. In addition, a few years ago I got some cool antique magazine cut-outs from The Salvation Army and put them in some neutral frames. I think they look pretty cool!
This one is over the stove.
This one is over the sink.
Then of course we have lots of random trinkets on the fridge. It may not show, but I had a few beers before stepping into that photo booth…
Photographing my kitchen without photographing the cat is actually very hard. Anytime I enter the kitchen to do anything she hops on the counter to investigate. I've tried everything to get her to NOT be on the counters, but she is bent on it and I eventually just gave up.
We've worked out an agreement though so I can maintain food cleanliness. The counter in our kitchen is split into two parts. One counter is for cooking and the other part extends out onto a small bar where we have a few chairs. She can sit on that end of the counter. If she crosses the dividing line, then I throw things at her.
She's pushing her luck in this photo…
Much better behaved here:
SO that's honestly it. I wish I had something more amazing to show, but that's where the magic happens. It's a small space, but I've grown to like it a lot (note that I didn't say LOVE). Sometimes I watch those house shows on HGTV and the people are always complaining that their kitchen is too small and it's easily twice the size of mine.
But there ya go. Obviously, my kitchen has things like a stove and a sink, but I figured I wouldn't bore you with those things even though I may have bored you with OTHER things. Anway, that's my office!
PS. I actually really like the damn spider plant, but DAMN does it grow fast.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 04.30.2010
- Consumer Sentiment
- The University of Michigan's Index of Consumer Sentiment was revised up 2.7 points in April to a final reading of 72.2. Despite this relatively large revision, the index is still 1.4 points below its March level and only 7.1 points above its year-ago level, a low number compared to the double-digit gains seen in every prior month since October. While both components of the index were upwardly revised, the overall revision is mainly due to a 4.2 point improvement from the preliminary report in consumer expectations, as the current economic conditions component was revised up only 0.3 point. Still, both components are 1.4 points below their March levels, with April marking the third straight month of decline in consumer expectations. The current economic conditions component was at its highest level in two years last month, so April's decline still leaves the index much higher than its record low of 58.4, reached in October 2008. Inflation expectations were unchanged from the preliminary report, which found that one-year-ahead average inflation expectations rose 0.4 percentage point to 3.8 percent in April, while the longer-run (5- to 10-year-ahead) expectations inched up 0.1 percentage point to 3.2 percent.

The NFL trading deadline is two days away, and a number of teams are one or two players away at key positions from possibly taking the next step. For some, that next step is becoming a playoff contender. For others, that next step is becoming a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks may not be the player, but he certainly can be a game-changer in the right situation with the right team. One would think the Giants would be willing to deal him for whatever they can get for him, but according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, that hasn't been the case thus far:
With Tuesday's NFL trade deadline approaching, Giants so far have resisted all overtures for WR Hakeem Nicks.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 27, 2013
The struggles of the 25-year-old Nicks have been one of the strangest surprises of the Giants' nightmare 1-6 season Nicks has 27 catches for 470 yards and no touchdowns this season, putting him on pace for a nice, but hardly overwhelming, 61-catch, 1,074-yard season. But that's been also due to the struggles of Eli Manning.

Speaking Out
On September 11, 1995, 9-year-old Jimmy Ryce was kidnapped at gunpoint from his school bus stop, sodomized, and shot as he was trying to escape. To free more children from the clutches of sexual predators, The Jimmy Ryce Center for Victims of Predatory Abduction was established in June of 1996, in honor of Jimmy's capacity to love unconditionally and his unquenched spirit in trying to get home even after hours of pain and humiliation. Jimmy's legacy is reflected in the words from Isaiah carved on his tombstone: "a little child shall lead them."

I'm now typing this App Empire Reloaded review because I do not wish any longer folks to be a victim of the App Empire Reloaded scam. Well, it is not the standard scam that people encounter. The mobile app system is amazing and delivered as swore. But why am I still saying the mobile app system a scam? This App Empire Reloaded review that I actually have written up can make clear.
The gossip about the App Empire Reloaded scam did fright me in the beginning because, like every person, I do not want to fritter away my money on one thing that may not work and undoubtedly steal my money beneath my nose. That would look like an awfully stupid thing to try and do. I even have been frustrated by numerous ineffective make money online mobile app mobile app systems all my adult life that I was getting doubtful concerning every particular mobile app system that I have run into. However I was so eager to make money. I assumed that there has got to be one thing that may deliver its promise and do what it states - to help me make money and keep off the horrible 9 to 5 job.
I have researched regarding many products that may finally make my dream come in reality. I searched day and night and was getting pissed off since everything that I see were all a bunch of hoopla and things that I already know. Till I stumbled upon the App Empire Reloaded scam, I mean, mobile app system.
While performing some research regarding my new-fangled found mobile app system, I found an App Empire Reloaded review that aforementioned that it absolutely was probably a scam. Nevertheless that single review was submerged by all the provable testimonials and App Empire Reloaded reviews that I even have read. I went back to the App Empire Reloaded scam, I mean, mobile app system sales page and purchased the mobile app system.
After reading for a couple minutes, I was stunned by all the helpful info that the owner had place within the mobile app system. I thought that it might truly help me make money in barely a matter of days. And true enough, those details, tips and techniques had created me free of debt in just a few weeks. I didn't need to attend the bank, I did not undergo any legal cases with my lawyer and I did not got to spend a single dime on make money online products. I just followed the mobile app system's pointers and reap out nice results. Back then, I remember thinking that there is no App Empire Reloaded scam after all.
That is why I wrote an App Empire Reloaded review and commenced introducing it to my friends. That is when I identified concerning the App Empire Reloaded scam. When I told everyone concerning my secret, an internet marketer friend of mine aforesaid she also use the mobile app system and wrote an App Empire Reloaded review and told me to scan it. I identified that she was a victim of the mobile app system too since the product owners did not advertise the special price discount coupon and she had purchased the product for it's original price like I did.
I was foiled nevertheless not totally because I believed that the worth was very worth it. Nevertheless if you are thinking of buying this wonderful product, you got to use the coupon I'm sharing to outsmart the genius owners and not be a victim like us. Use the coupon below to buy the product for it's discounted price! Make sure to spread the word!

KTM has unleashed the most powerful X-Bow ever. The new R version will feature an Audi sourced engine from the S3 , but while the engine delivers 265 HP in the S3, it has been tuned to provide 300 HP for the X-Bow R.
The X-Bow R features a considerably lower positioning and a modified mounting of the engine that will lead to even higher cornering speeds and increased driving precision. If KTM receives enough interest, they will offer two road legal and homologated packages: a "Sport" version and a "Race" package, which is optimized for track use.
The packages each include a vast number of completely new developed parts, which increase the performance of the car dramatically. Many of these parts will be also available separately in the PowerParts program, so all current KTM X-BOW owners will enjoy the benefit of the new developments.
More details on the KTM X-Bow R after the jump.
Exterior and Interior
Next to the impressive engine under the hood, the X-Bow R will be distinguished by a carbon fiber racing monocoque with a crash box in visible carbon fiber, smooth surface racing underbody with a rear diffuser in aluminum composite, individually adjustable pedals as well as adjustable and removable multi functional steering wheel, painted rims, 4-point safety belts, and special paint work in the "R" design.
For the engine, KTM has chosen one of the most efficient and powerful engines with a 2.0 liter displacement. The engine delivers a total of 300 HP and a peak torque of 295 lbs-ft of torque at 3,300 revs.
The push rod suspension on the front axle, which comes directly from the Formula racing sport, and the suspension on the rear axle have both been revised. The KTM X-BOW R is characterized by an additional increase in handling, even more extremely exact and delicate than up to this stage of the development.
Just recently, the KTM X-Bow has officially received its pricing details for the US, giving us an idea just how much money we're going to have to part with to be able to bring one of these bad boys home. The base "Street" model of the X-Bow is now being sold for an eye-popping $88,500. Other versions of the X-Bow include the "Clubsport" edition that fetches $103,500, the Superlight Edition that's priced at $134,000, and the cream-of-the-crop GT4 Edition, which comes with a staggering $139,000. Not exactly chump change, is it?
In Europe, the KTM X-Bow R is priced at 58,795 euro, or about $83,800 at the current exchange rates.
The main competitor for the KTM X-Bow R is still the Ariel Atom . For the R version, Ariel has prepared the V8 500 which is powered by a V8 engine that delivers 500HP and 284 lb-ft of torque at 7750RPM. The model will sprint from zero to 60mph in 2.3 seconds, making this the fastest accelerating production car on the planet, on its way to a true 168mph.
- Sporty appearance
- Powerful engine
- Impressive performance numbers
- Kind of expensive
- Powerful versions for the Ariel Atom are stiff competition

What Tuition Hikes Mean for Some Students
Today, the UNC Board of Governors approved tuition hikes for all 16 system universities for the 2012-2013 school year. The vote must still must pass through state lawmakers but it could mean up to an 8.8% spike in tuition costs for students.
A recent college grad of the UNC school system, I finished debt free in four years, and all of the credit goes to my parents. I was fortunate enough to be in a situation where they could send me to school and support me. But they were also firm. (I paid my mother back in full for a class that I got a "D" in sophomore year, because she declared she wasn't paying for C's and D's).
I worked hard in college. I had just as much fun too—I can safely say they were some of the best times in my life. I am also completely indebted to my folks for putting me in a position to graduate relatively DEBT-FREE. It is because of this that I can clearly see both sides of the coin-those that had to pay their own way, and those that didn't. While a sizable portion of the students out there pay part or even all of their own way through school, there still is a large portion that doesn't.
And that's understandable. While your high school guidance counselor says that you still have a "great shot" at a scholarship even if your parents make above a certain amount, chances are Mom and Dad don't have enough lying around for some schools.
Despite that, the UNC school system has always been incredibly affordable next to schools around the country. Louisiana and Florida boast some of the lowest rates for in-state students at places like UF and LSU, but Carolina isn't far behind. I'll direct many references in this post to UNC-Chapel Hill, the "flagship" university where this debate takes center stage. In the grand scheme of things, a raise of 8.8% is actually far below what the Board was going for in this case.
Over the past week I've seen students protest this hike and question its constitutionally. While I sympathize with those who have to pay their own way, a jump of less than 700 bucks (average of a little more than 400) does not suddenly make their education "inaccessible". A 15-20% jump in one year? Definitely. But not a jump of less than 500 dollars.
In my four years at ASU, I saw the rates rise at least two or three hundred dollars per year from freshman year to graduation. I also realize that this hike is separate from any additional charges the school decides to tack on.
My point is mainly for those students that don't pay fully for their education, the vast majority of middle-class freshman entering college. A four or five hundred dollar increase per semester isn't the end of the world. It doesn't make your education inaccessible. What it clearly means is that you may have to work an extra week or two at that summer job to help Mom and Dad pay for a little bump in school costs. ($7.50 per hour X 30 hours per week X 3 weeks = 675 bucks) Maybe paying for something you thought was just a "given" for all these years will make you study harder and party just a little less. You don't want to pay for a "D".
And yes, after 4 years I realized I was incredibly lucky. And despite rough economic times, so are many many more kids out there. For those that have to pay their own way or part of it, this hike may be a little harder to swallow. Many of the students I've seen protesting at UNC probably fit into that category. But there are many more that don't and are just looking for a cause. Thanks to inflation (you should have covered that in ECON 1101) 500 bucks isn't what it used to be. It's not considered much any more, depending on who you ask. Unfortunately, if you ask the Board of Governors, its not that much.
I don't agree with all of it, but the money has to come from somewhere. This isn't meant to shun, belittle or shrug off kids that DO pay for their school. It's meant to give some perspective to kids that DON'T, and maybe encourage them to help Mom and Dad out every once in a while. (There will come a day when you'll appreciate it.)
A Carolina student said the other day that the BOG could just "get some money from another place, like another fund or something". I'm sure he was referring to the money tree that grows on the north end of the Carolina campus. That must also work like an ATM for the thousands of Greeks at places all over the state like Carolina where some kids party their way through school and their parents' wallets. I know that to be true at many schools in NC. It still doesn't make education inaccessible. At the end of the day, an eduction at any one of the UNC system schools is an exceptional value. At this time, is seems it takes a little more money to help maintain that value.

The San Diego Chargers have re-signed long snapper Mike Windt to a 4-year deal. At least we will be able to get the snap off when we punt the ball! Sorry, still a little frustrated about only offering a low tender to Danario Alexander.
Windt did a good job as the long snapper on the team. He was the long snapper that was able to keep things steady during that hellish season in the special teams. It is a good signing, just not something to bring home to mama.

Drag the lines apart so that they don't intersect. Click on the stars using your mouse cursor and create constellations! Puzzles are randomly generated. Therefore no matter how much you play, you will always have a new challenge! Use "solve it" button when you're stuck, but it will increase the time you spend and you can use it only 3 times.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars May 14, 2012
A really fun game- quite logically challenging, and the randomly-generated aspect of it gives it great replay value.
Rated 2 / 5 stars May 14, 2012
The game has potential to be good. Problem the game is too much of the same. Its design is attractive and beautiful. i imagine the score is to make a ranked scoreboard , with the scores gained you can make more than just a number in a list. Also you can make the lines different and the stars also different in size. You can research in stars and constellations and see how they work i hope i did not offend you. This game can be great.
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 14, 2012
This I like. It's an addicting, challenging game and really got me thinking. I also like how it's randomly generated so it's always different. I like that with games.
Well Done

The food and drinks tasted great! Our server and the hostesses outside provided exceptional service. We loved the setup of the place; very nice.
The only issue we had was with being told they have a dress code on weekends. However, my companion was allowed to come in the club after they requested he remove his hat. There were other men there with baseball caps on so I was a bit confused. Other than that, the experience was great and the music was awesome!!

How I Came to Terms with Wearing Sexy Dresses That Barely Fit
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Over the past two years, I've lost more than a hundred pounds. There's nothing impressive about this feat — it's not as if I've lost the hundred-plus pounds sensibly, sequentially and permanently. Rather, I've lost the same five pounds about 20 different times through a series of dubious dietary stunts.
Per the established metrics of weight-to-height ratio and body mass index, I'm not what a medical professional would call exceedingly overweight — though Hollywood, Madison Avenue and the average "thinspiration" Pinterest page would post dissenting opinion. Essentially, I'm your garden-variety mesomorph who doesn't eat to live but, rather, who lives to eat her feelings.
What consumes me, urging me to mindlessly consume? Usually nothing special — like so many other people, I nosh my way through shame and regret about the past and anxiety about the future. But 2011 and 2012 were exceptional — annus horribilis, times two: I got dragged off by a riptide of depression that I feared might kill me; one of my sisters learned she had lupus; one of my in-laws was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer; my mother's COPD landed her in the hospital, and my beloved bachelor uncle fell ill under conditions too horrible to describe and died eight months later. It was not a good couple of years for illusions of familial immortality. No.
No matter what I ate, or how much, I could always count on peeling off five pounds in a few days by drinking lemon water sprinkled with cayenne pepper, tossing back a couple of health store herbal diuretics, and shunning gluten, sugar and dairy. Then I'd get more bad news and close out my evenings by pulling into a fast-food parking lot to eat a jumbo drive-through Value Meal away from the shaming glow of street lamps, only to go back on my regimen of water, diuretics and selective privation. Then, last May, when my uncle went into intensive care, the stress eating became a constant and the weight came on and stayed.
In the midst of all the awfulness, I received a tremendous gift: a namesake dress. My friend Laura, whom I've known since the days of the CBGB Sunday hardcore matinees, built a thriving clothing business based on her original designs inspired by vintage '40s and '50s silhouettes. Pinup Girl Clothing features an adorable array of va-va-voomy dresses, and she'd designed one to my specifications — a body-skimming sheath with day-to-night versatility, made of stretchy fabric with a neckline that's not too low, a hemline that's not too high, and longish sleeves. I was looking for two specific features: forgiveness and good coverage.
- – - – - – - – - – - -
As soon as it came off the production line, the Burana dress was delivered to me in every available colorway — black, navy, plum and green tea. I zipped myself into the navy, then turned and turned before the mirror: Look at this tailoring, I thought. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. My next thought: Oh man, I am way too fat to wear this. I could have asked Laura to send me a bigger size — Pinup Girl sizes items from XS to 2X. But no, I decided, I would wait until I was thin enough to feel good in the dresses I had.
Waiting to feel good was an elusive proposition, physically and emotionally. Even spiritually. In search of comfort beyond the edible realm, I started digging deeper into my quest for some sort of God-like sustenance: Going to yoga, reading books on snuggly, big-tent lefty Christianity, Buddhism, radical acceptance, being in the now. None of it felt better than two double cheeseburgers with extra mustard and large fries washed down by a bucket of Diet Coke, but it seemed important to at least be in the hunt for a more enduring means of soothing my feelings of guilt, loss and vulnerability. I wanted a sense that I was OK, and a bulwark against life's slights. In other words, forgiveness and good coverage. Is it strange that I wanted the same things from God as I did from a dress?
