Football is coming.
Training camp dates have been released for all 32 teams (via SB Nation). According to the report, the Arizona Cardinals' rookies will report to camp three weeks from today, on July 23. Veterans will report on July 25.
The Cardinals' camp will take place at University of Phoenix Stadium, which is the Cardinals' home stadium. Arizona's rookies will take the field 41 times, as camp lasts until September 1 (one week before the Cardinals' opener). The veterans will take the field 39 times.
There are lots of roster hopefuls, and there will be lots of surprises. The Cardinals' roster isn't set in stone yet, and it will be interesting to see how everything plays out. Arizona has a lot of new, exciting players, and fans can finally start counting down the days until they get to see their Cardinals play.

exposure and disease registry, emergency response, toxicological profiles, health education, and applied research.
ATSDR's Division of Health Education is mandated to assemble, develop, and distribute to the states, medical colleges, physicians, and other health professionals, educational materials on medical surveillance, screening, and methods of diagnosis and treatment of injury or disease related to exposure to hazardous substances. The Division also provides training and education for primary care physicians to diagnose and treat illness caused by hazardous substances and supports curriculum development and applied research in the area of environmental health.
The Division has developed a self-study series called Case Studies in Environmental Medicine which uses case studies to guide physicians through the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses related to hazardous substances exposure.
Several projects have also been developed and implemented to advance these goals. Some of the programs are described below:
State Cooperative Agreements offer funding and assistance to state health departments for developing educational materials and activities in environmental medicine for health care professionals;
National Association of County Health Officials Environmental Health Project is a cooperative agreement with ATSDR to conduct instructional sessions and develop supporting materials for local health officials and the medical community concerning the communication of health risks from exposure to hazardous substances;
Project EPOCH-Envi is co-sponsored by ATSDR and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Through the cooperative agreement, a consortium of medical schools works towards introducing curricula in occupational and environmental medicine in primary care residency programs;

Researchers investigating the effect of beer as a trigger for psoriasis believe the barley content may be to blame.
Led by dermatologists at Brigham and Women's Hospital, the study found women who drink full-calorie beers were more likely to suffer from psoriasis when compared to women who drank light beer, wine or hard liquor. Full-calorie beer has the greatest barley content of the alcohol options, the authors noted, and previous research has indicated that gluten sensitivity, which would be triggered by barley, may be linked to psoriasis.

The drags and downers of Mondays have long been documented, noted and put in commercials and movies more times than Kevin Bacon and Sammy Jackson, combined - I don't have my numbers in front of me, but that has to be close to a million. The foamy relics of Sunday still bounce and stew inside the domes of many a weekend warrior, making the day almost move backwards. How can I impress Dotty with my knowledge of the unassisted double play when I haven't left this restroom in over an hour? It has happened to us all. The fountains of sports trivia and knowledge we wished to share around the donut feast , purchased by the so-called boss, is quickly replaced with fountains of Coors, Doritos and whatever that layer thing was with the cheese on it. Mondays!
But, before you sneak out the side-exit for a power nap in the parking lot, remember this: There is hope. Had The Bangles been blessed with the interesting stories from the MLB like tonight's and mid-week's, and they all looked like the lead singer, the song may have been called "Awesome Monday."
Attention costs nothing. So pay it to these three spectacles!
1.) Jamie Moyer - I know this festers in the "contradicting category," based on what I have said about Moyer in past writings, but this is different. This is history. When Moyer takes to the mound tonight in Miami it will be his 50th different ballpark where he has performed this task. That is more than any other pitcher, EVER! Any baseball fan will admit to the absolute amazing adventure it would be to pack up an R.V and visit every ballpark in America. The stories you would be able to tell, the memories you would have. Now, imagine if you were able to park that R.V on the mound for every game, and even get out and thrown a few innings. Then, what stories you would be able to tell? Jamie Moyer may be old, but he is still doing it better than most half his age, and tonight he will pencil in another line of history. Nothing too extraordinary, but a an interesting twist in the R.V dream that has to make even Ozzie smile. "Don't you go fallin in love with it now, cause we're takin it with us when we leave her next month." (See Christmas Vacation, AGAIN)
2.) Darvish vs. Hernandez - While history is being constructed in South Beach by the older folk, the youngsters of the new generations will be doing their thing in Seattle. Yu Darvish has analysts, fans and experts across the globe spraining their ankles - The bandwagon is almost filled, maybe room for one or two tubas, and that's it. At 6-1 and an E.R.A south of three, Darvish continues to control hitters with power and finesse. His opponent, King Felix, is coming off a terrible start against the Indians and is straining his eyes looking for run support. It is difficult to count a Cy Young Award winner as the underdog, but this match up has Darvish favored. Regardless, it will be a "pitchers duel" worth watching. Hit the record button if you can't stay up.
3.) Hamels vs. Harper - This will be the mid-week medicine people discovered two weeks ago. Wednesday night will have the Phillies taking on the Nationals on ESPN2. A national stage for the dramatic action thriller known as, "Hamels v. Harper II - The rematch!" Don King wishes he had a piece of this action. It will be like the day after a fight in middle school where the two opponents have to sit next to each other in homeroom. What will happen? How will they react? If he drops his pencil, will the other guy pick it up? Will they start fighting, again? What if the teacher comes in? The same guilty excitement will be swarming the ballpark, before, after and during. All eyes will be on the first pitch that leaves Hamels hand, as it rotates towards Harper, or the plate. What will happen? With all the fighters getting caught with steroids, this may be the only boxing we get to see for awhile. Put up your dukes, gang. Michael Buffer has announcement to make!
Remember, Nuprin is little and yellow...but baseball is the better.

This post is from Dec. 5, 2011. Offerings are subject to change. Check with the institution for the latest information.
What part of the holidays do you hate the most? Waiting in long lines or carrying a dozen packages to the car? What about thinking of the perfect gift only to find it sold out in every store?
The list could go on, but the common theme is shopping.
Not so for American Express Platinum cardholders this season. The credit card issuer said last week it's expanding its concierge services to include personal shopping elves. Cardholders now can submit their shopping lists to the concierge gift-buying service, which will research gift options, compare prices, buy gifts and ship them.
The issuer said the average affluent consumer has a gift list that is 10 people deep, according to its latest spending and saving tracker survey. The survey also found that well-to-do Americans estimate they will spend almost $1,500 on gifts this holiday season, nearly double what the average Joe will shell out ($704.18 per the National Retail Federation).
"With this new service, card members no longer have to struggle with researching gifts or making sure they will arrive in time for the holidays," says Stephen Selwood, vice president of premium card marketing at American Express, "and as a result can cross one more item off their 'to do' list during the busy holiday season."
This is an extension of the Platinum card's concierge services, which include securing concert or sports tickets, making dinner reservations or planning a special event.
There are some conditions. All purchases will be put on the cardholder's Platinum card, and the gifts must be bought from a retailer that takes American Express.
For the rest of us, brace for the mall.
How's your holiday shopping coming? How much found its way onto your credit cards?

Dawn in Eclipse Bayby Jane Ann Krentz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz—the second novel in a dramatic trilogy set in breathtaking Eclipse Bay, a town filled with rivalries as fierce and compelling as the rugged Oregon coast….
Nothing was ever simple between a Madison and a Harte. The feud that had divided their families still simmered. Now, only months after their siblings' wedding, Lilian Harte and Gabe Madison are at each other's throats.
Successful CEO Gabe had insisted on becoming a client of Lilian's matchmaking service. And after five disastrous dates, Lilian is at her wit's end. If she hadn't already decided to close her business and move home to Eclipse Bay, Gabe would have been the final straw. But when she finds Gabe at her door demanding she fulfill their business contract, the sparks between them suddenly turn personal. Once again, Eclipse Bay will witness a showdown—between a relentless Madison and an irresistible Harte…

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Cali!
Facts about Cali
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Cali's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Callie, she is a teenager and is very sweet and loves to play! Great companion!
The fee for Cali is $75. This includes a rabies shot, wormer and spay.
For more information or to make an appointment to meet Cali, call 912-863-4533 and ask for Mary Gene or email at email@example.com.
Age and Breed are estimated to the best of our knowledge and no guarantees on size and temperament can be given.
Other Pets at Friends of Screven County Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cali, a Sylvania Calico cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Sylvania, or seeking a Calico cat from a breeder in Sylvania.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sylvania already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sylvania breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sylvania paves the way for another one to be saved.

"Daniel Bryan wasn't going to win Royal Rumble 2013. He gets tossed out. His fan base would be more upset than him not being in it at all. Just my opinion."
- Kevin Nash defending WWE and their decision
John Cena wins Royal Rumble 2013 by last eliminating Ryback. Other contestants in the match include Antonio Cesaro, Bo Dallas, Brodus Clay, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Daniel Bryan, Darren Young, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Godfather, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Tensai, The Miz, Titus ONeil, Wade Barrett and Zack Ryder.
While there was some interest in bringing him back a couple of months ago, it does not appear that Lance Hoyt will be coming back to TNA anytime soon. He is currently thriving as a tag team with David Hart Smith in New Japan right now, and the money there is higher than what he would be paid if he was working Impact Wrestling again.
3AWrestling has booked themselves a pretty big show on March 29 in Ontario. Jeff Jarrett, Jim Duggan, David Hart Smith, Karen Jarrett and Robbie MacAllister (one half of the Highlanders tag team in WWE a few years back) have been signed on as headliners.
"I could maybe see myself doing some work with TNA in the future, I don't think I'll do anything with WWE, but I would definitely be open to do some stuff with TNA."
"But I don't really think he cares too much personally about the Superstars, maybe only a few. I don't really think he gives a shit unless you're making money."
A picture has surfaced online of WWE legend Dynamite Kid in a wheelchair. Next to him is David Hart Smith, the son of his long time tag team partner Davey Boy Smith.

New Acer Keeps crashing, No error code
Hey guys,
recently bought a new acer aspire x5900 (it was a store display model, but i doubt that would be the cause of any of my problems) and it seems to keep crashing. It doesn't change the screen, in fact it just stops moving everything entirely. the mouse doesn't move or anything, and my only option is to turn it off at the wall which I hate doing. It's usually when I start it up, and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

NEW YORK (AP) -- If Colin Firth were going to play a cabbie in a movie, he'd drive a cab and hang out with other drivers to get to know them. But he didn't have the same access before playing King George the sixth in "The King's Speech." The most he could do was watch the royal family from afar to see how they behaved and the relationship they had with their subjects. He noticed that once people got near Prince Charles, they'd get nervous and excited. He says experiencing that your whole life has to affect "how you see the human race." Firth just got a Golden Globe nomination for his role. The movie opens in more theaters on Friday.

THURSDAY, Nov. 3 (HealthDay News) -- The first artificial heart
valve that can replace a diseased aortic valve without requiring
open-heart surgery has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
A patient's aortic valve can be damaged by stenosis, a narrowing
of the valve caused by the buildup of calcium deposits. The heart
must then work harder to pump blood through the diseased valve,
which could lead to symptoms including fainting, chest pain, heart
failure, irregular heartbeat or cardiac arrest. More than half of
the people with these symptoms die within two years, the FDA said
in a news release.
Traditionally, replacement of this valve has required open-heart
surgery. But the newly approved Sapien Transcatheter Heart Valve
(THV) allows doctors to implant it using a tube-shaped device
called a delivery catheter, via a small incision in the leg. The
catheter is slightly wider than a pencil.
This can benefit patients for whom open-heart surgery is too
risky, the FDA said.
The agency said patients in whom the new device was implanted
had 2 1/2 times more strokes, and eight times as many vascular or
bleeding complications than those who didn't get the implant. At
the same time, clinical testing found that 69 percent of patients
who received the new device were alive a year after the implant,
compared with 50 percent who were treated by a different
Maker Edwards Lifescience will continue to monitor patients who
receive the implant, the agency said. The device is not recommended
for people who can be treated with open-heart surgery.
Edwards Lifescience is based in Irvine, Calif.

Taxpayers beware! Bailouts not a thing of the past
An independent audit found that the Federal Housing Administration doesn't have enough capital to cover its expected losses. In fact, the losses likely will leave it with a $13.5 billion deficit.
Already, the voices are talking about a taxpayer bailout.
And the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, charged with insuring pensions for about 43 million Americans, has a deficit reaching $34 billion in the past year, a record for the corporation. Overall, the agency's liabilities stand at $119 billion.
It is funded by insurance premiums on private employers and investment returns on its reserves. It says Congress needs to allow it to increase the premiums charged. The problem hasn't developed over night.
These are small potatoes, perhaps, compared to the fiscal cliff issue and the soaring deficit. But they are part and parcel of the entire problem.
Like Social Security, where there are obvious and simple fixes, these problems do not need to continue festering and growing.
Yet government, specifically Congress, fails to act. Why? Why are the losses, the problems allowed to continue to grow when simple solutions can be found?
Why is government in the housing mortgage business?
Why shouldn't pension insurance premiums be adequate to support the system?
Why shouldn't Social Security's retirement age be indexed to the major advances in life expectancy gained since the system was inaugurated?
Government's failures, and often its actions, are adding to the problems.
A fine example, of course, was the payroll tax cut reducing revenue for Social Security even as the very people voting for the tax cut wrung hands over the system's growing deficit.
The taxpayers are being left on the hook. And the hole is getting deeper.
Watch closely. Your future, and the future of your children and grandchildren, is at stake.

On considering hard truths.
I wake up every day intending to do my best. I care deeply about my students. All of them, every single one.
And yet, this student hasn't turned in a single assignment the entire quarter. He knows the material, but consistently refuses to complete any assignments but tests. For classwork, no less than three times last week I brought him the pen and paper, but he just stared at me. I don't pick fights; he has choice. He usually scores no lower than a B on tests, but he's still failing. Is this my fault? Do I not care enough? What would you do?
And this one refuses to read Tears of a Tiger on his own. He tried for five minutes, after I asked nicely, but hasn't picked it up since. If you push him, he gets angry. He gets kicked out of other classes a lot. I'd rather he not get kicked out of mine. Would you push? We have moments of connection, he and I, but only moments — would you ruin a chance for future moments, destroy a seed of connection, to force a student to do something he doesn't want to for just one moment?
And another — an honors student, with so much potential, who hasn't turned in a single assignment on time all year. That is not an exaggeration. Not one. And when they do come in, if they come in (and that's a big IF), assignments are haphazard, sloppy. Do you keep on giving chances? He seems sincere this time, you think, and you want to believe him, so you give one more. Are you sending the wrong message? He's a smart kid, polite kid — do you sign him up for honors again? He doesn't have the study skills or the self-discipline for honors — or is that judging him on the wrong things?
One more: she comes in too many days in a row and says not one word. She puts her head down and refuses to lift it back up; her normal sunny smile is absent. Do you ask her to work, knowing what you know? Your trip with her to the guidance office is never far from your mind. After day six, her grade is suffering. You ask her to consider her grade, to come in tomorrow fresh, but all the time you're wondering, why.
Please: recognize that these are rhetorical questions. I do not need your answers; I do not want your answers. There are no answers here, nor in the many other stories I could tell. Sometimes the only answer is to greet these kids — my kids — every day with a smile, an offer of endless opportunities, and a calm acceptance of their choices, good and bad, because to do otherwise is to strip them of their own sense of control and accomplishment.
[Because that is what education is all about, right?]

Defense Acquisitions:
Charting a Course for Lasting Reform
GAO-09-663T: Published: Apr 30, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2009.

(202) 512-4800
Since 1990, GAO has designated the Department of Defense's (DOD) management of its major weapon acquisitions as a high-risk area; however DOD's problems delivering weapon systems on time, at the estimated cost, in the planned amounts, and with the promised performance go back decades. Congress and DOD have continually explored ways to improve acquisition outcomes, yet problems persist. The committee asked GAO to testify on measures needed to reform the acquisition of major weapon systems and related legislative proposals. Specifically, this statement will describe the poor outcomes on weapon system investments that make reform imperative; attributes of the requirements, funding, and acquisition processes that will need to change for reform to be effective; and positive steps that Congress and DOD have taken to improve weapon program outcomes. The statement will also examine other factors that should be considered as the committee moves forward with its reform efforts. The testimony is drawn from GAO's body of work on DOD's requirements, funding, and acquisition processes. GAO has made numerous recommendations aimed at improving DOD's management of its major weapon acquisitions, but it is not making any new recommendations in this testimony.
DOD must get a better return on investment from its weapon system programs. Since fiscal year 2003, DOD has increased the number of major defense acquisition programs and its overall investment in them. The cumulative cost growth for DOD's programs is higher than it was 5 years ago, but at $296 billion (fiscal year 2009 dollars), it is less than last year when adjusted for inflation. For DOD's 2008 portfolio of programs, research and development costs are now 42 percent higher than originally estimated and the average delay in delivering initial capabilities has increased to 22 months. These problems have roots in not only the acquisition process, but also in the requirements and funding processes. Collectively, these processes create pressures to demand high performance, keep cost estimates low, and proceed with calendar-driven versus knowledge-driven schedules. These processes also do not adequately prioritize needs from a joint, departmentwide perspective, respond to changing warfighter demands, or constrain the number of programs to a level that is supportable by available resources. Programs are allowed to enter and proceed through the acquisition process with requirements that are not fully understood, cost and schedule estimates that are based on optimistic assumptions, and a lack of sufficient knowledge about technology, design, and manufacturing. Congressionally-mandated and DOD-initiated changes to the acquisition system could provide the basis for sounder programs and improved acquisition outcomes. The committee's proposed legislation dealing with requirements, systems engineering, technology and integration risk assessment, and cost estimation--also address areas in need of reform. However, past reform efforts have failed to produce lasting change. To make the most out of this opportunity, the weapons acquisition environment and the incentives inherent within it will also have to be confronted and addressed.

Since Marilyn Monroe's death 50 years ago, dozens of authors have tried to capture the nuances of this beloved, flawed and mysterious icon. In Marilyn, women's history expert Lois Banner may have succeeded. Banner explores Monroe's public persona but also details her darker past, including sexual abuse, 11 foster homes and multiple abortions. Banner also claims to prove "beyond a doubt" Monroe's wit and intellect, her playful side and her control — not the studios' — of creating the Marilyn Monroe we thought we knew. … Back to Article

The late Sid Vicious of the SEX PISTOLS, came in third while Robbie Williams placed fourth.

Sweet boardshorts. The dobby DLX fabric feels somewhat cheap and thin, but it actually seems to work. The raised diamond pattern is supposed to keep the shorts from rubbing against your skin. They are also very very thin so they don't get heavy when they are wet. The last time I wore these shorts I had an unexpected run in with a reef shark, but I got away unscathed (I am not claiming that this short helped me in this situation, I just think its a cool story). These don't seem to soak up much water so they dry quickly. Cool shorts. The green + yellow + black is almost jamaica looking.

oh..they also fit true to size.

Someone who knows that they will make mistakes that can hurt PoC, and it is completely unavoidable. But they take responsibility and try to be conscious of their words and actions.
Notice I didn't say "perfect."
Notice I didn't say "nice."
Hell, I didn't even say "not racist." This is a very important thing to recognize here.
Just reblogging to piss off white people who think they are "good," and who think I'm "bad" for not thinking of them as highly as they think of themselves.
A good white person doesn't have to be not racist?7
What is this?
Is the person who is making this distinction a person of color?
Aren't good white people a fairy tale/myth?
Yes, I am a person of color.
The point was, the "good white person never is a racist" IS a myth. They ARE racist, they are going to be racist. And they have to hold themselves responsible for that and deconstruct it.
White people continuously denying that they are not racist usually leads them to be racist assholes, then they don't take responsibility for that because there's just no way they can be racist! They're good white people! Then, they just blame us. That's what makes white people fucking horrible.
That was the entire point of the post.
i experienced something that borke my heart. Something the perhaps every child of colour has experienced. I went over some of the members of my church house, they're all younger girls and teens, and we just went to hang out. They are all really sweet. The youngest girl felt left out of the conversation so i went to play the wii with her. She wanted to make her own mii character so i let her. She went in and selected face shapes and everything and when she was done, her mii was white, with brown hair and blue eyes.
I asked her "Is that you?"
Se told me"No. She's pretty."
I said, "Well, why is she white? She'd still be pretty if she was black. She doesn't look like you."
She said"She won't look right if its black."
I said "You're beautiful, make it look like you."
She sighed, as if the utter idea of changing her skin and eye colour to actually look like her was too much work. She cycled through the skin colours one by one asking me if these were the right colours. She's pretty dark, so when she finally landed on the right one, which was the very last one, she didn't look at me. Se just sighed. She didn't even want to change the hair and eye colours to look like her. She said "they dont have braids anyway." and then she named her mii and kept her with straight brown hair, changed her eyes brown and dark brown skin.
She looked at me and said"She doesn't look right."
I asked her "Why? You don't think she's beautiful?"
She didn't say anything so i left it at that. I was so upset about the whole thing that I couldn't even talk about it relly til now.
People say white washing doesn't affect our children. They say children can't see colour. They say children dont care about racism…. they say a lot of things, none of which are true. If they were, i doubt any of this would have happened, or has happened to our Children of colour.
1. Dan Savage hates trans people and uses transphobic slurs.
"Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives. Perhaps I'm a transphobic bigot, but I honestly think waiting a measly 36 months to cut your dick is a sacrifice any father should be willing to make for his 15-year-old son. Call me old-fashioned.
Unfortunately, your ex wasn't willing to make that sacrifice (selfish tranny!), or it never occurred to him to make that sacrifice (stupid tranny!)…. If your son can't deal with having his dad/mom/whatever around right now, support him and tell his dad/mom/whatever to leave the two of you alone for the time being."
2. Dan Savage believes that bisexuals do not and should not exist.
"I'm not saying bi guys are bad people, or they don't make great one-night stands. Bushes, bathhouses, and sleazy gay bars are crawling with bi guys. But if a guy wants more, he'll have an easier time getting it from another gay man."
3. Dan Savage has admonished women for not putting up with their partner's sexual desires and has criticized female rape survivors' stories.
"There the guy was, boned for you, and he was brave enough to put his desires out there, to make himself vulnerable (which is what the ladies are always saying they want, right?), and you lobbed the ol' "What?!?" bomb at him and made him feel like a freak. Is it any wonder that he quickly moved on to "other things" and, one would hope, better sex partners?"
"I'm extremely sorry that you were raped, DRARS, although your baseless accusations of rape make me doubt you when you claim to be a survivor of rape. The feminist bloggers are going to accuse me of thought crimes: If a woman says she was raped then, by God, she was raped. (Tell it to the lacrosse team.) But if my reaction to your letter is a thought crime, I can only plead entrapment: I wouldn't have had these illegal thoughts if you hadn't sent me such a stupid letter in the first place… Finally, DRARS, I hereby withdraw my consent for you to read Savage Love. If you continue to read my column against my will, well, we all know what word to apply to your actions."
4. Dan Savage thinks that racist gay white men are less of a threat to African-Americans than homophobic African-Americans are to gay people.
EDIT: The quote below is indeed Dan's response to Prop 8 and black homophobia, I have added some more of the senseless shit that has spewed out of his mouth so that no one will be confused as to how much of an asshole he is:
"I do know this, though: I'm done pretending that the handful of racist gay white men out there—and they're out there, and I think they're scum—are a bigger problem for African Americans, gay and straight, than the huge numbers of homophobic African Americans are for gay Americans, whatever their color…I'll eat my shorts if gay and lesbian voters went for McCain at anything approaching the rate that black voters went for Prop 8."
EDIT: Here are some more lovely gems from our resident asshole Dan Savage on his rampant hatred for everything not white, male, and gay:
5. Dan Savage thinks asexuals are secretly "fags".
"I appreciate the feedback, Stephanie, and I'm sorry I offended you. But… um… I couldn't help but think, as I read your letter, that your boyfriend is either a fool or a fag. But if it works for you guys—if a romantic relationship devoid of sexual attraction and activity works for you guys—then it works for you guys. Who am I to argue with success?"
6. Dan Savage is fatphobic.
"First off, LARDASS, you neglected to include a sign-off, forcing me to create one for you. I tried to create one that captured the spirit and tone of your letter, and I think I did pretty well… I am thoroughly annoyed at having my tame statements of fact—being heavy is a health risk; rolls of exposed flesh are unsightly—characterized as 'hate speech.'"

Grey's Anatomy 3.06: Let the Angels Commit
It is almost the end of the first season quarter, and finally I am seeing some improvement. I found some interest in the characters, I found some interest in the medical stories (mostly because they were written good), but what I didn't find was a really intriguing story arc. At the moment the series bobs up and down, sometimes being boring, sometimes having interesting parts. Either the writers overdo the soapy storylines, or they don't really get into the medical ones.
The episode itself was good and I liked it, since I didn't really get into the five previous episodes. Sure, the season is still not a burner and I ask myself why ABC had a ratings success with Grey's Anatomy, but at least the fine acting and the still interesting indie-pop soundtrack (come on… it's not that bad) makes the episodes better than they actually are.
Grey's Anatomy 3.05: Oh, The Guilt
This might be the episode of the series, where I say to myself, why I even started these reviews: Why am I writing so much about a series, when I am actually starting to hate it?
The episode was nothing more than average with one good medical storyline, while the rest was just unimportant, average or completely annoying. Some characters are either over the top or out of character, and some stories are not what I want to see in the series. Sure, I could have expected that, but the writers could have given me (especially me!) some more medical storylines and some less stories with relationships, sex, divorces, break-ups and stuff. I am waiting for the first episode, where I don't have to fight myself through the already annoying Derek/Addison story (they are fucking divorced now, so this story should fucking end!), or Mark being a douchebag of a douchebag. I wished to live in an alternate universe, where there is an early season 3 episode with a patient being annoyed by Mark, which is why he killed him. I cannot stop saying this, but Mark Sloan is the most stupidest written character in a series ever. And Eric Dane does his best to play a douchebag.
Grey's Anatomy 3.04: What I Am
If I hate a character, does that mean the writers did a good job? Or did they just wrote a terrible character? If I hate a character, because he doesn't look like a doctor, who belongs into a drama series like Grey's Anatomy, but in the love house like Seattle Grace, does that mean the character really is that mean and dirty? Seriously… Mark Sloan is one of the most terrible written characters I've had to see in a series, and he didn't even have much appearances in Grey's Anatomy so far. When I am already thinking about his main character status, I have to roll with my eyes, cry in my pillow and play Russian Roulette with myself, until I lose – and not just because Mark Sloan is one of the most terrible written character I have ever seen in a series, but I actually can't stand Eric Dane. If I had a bullet, I would waste it on him.
A word to the episode: boring. Most of the hospital stories were uninteresting, and it was Fred Ward's guest stint, who kept me interested to the episode. It looks like I arrived at a point, where I either love or hate Grey's Anatomy. And the latter takes the leading spot at the moment.
Grey's Anatomy 3.03: Sometimes a Fantasy
Sometimes a Grey's Anatomy episode can be really good, sometimes a Grey's Anatomy episode can be really boring, and most of the times the Grey's Anatomy episodes are so damn average, I feel bored while watching. I had this problem during the second season, and it looks like I will have the same problem during the third season.
The episode was at best good average, which always means something between 6 and 7 out of 10. The writers never manage to completely wow me, which is mostly the fault of boring medical cases and ridiculous character moments and sex talks and/or scenes. This time I liked the medical cases, but this time I could throw out my laptop, after what I saw happening between the threesome Meredith/Derek/Finn.
Sometimes, only sometimes, the series needs more ER instead of a soap opera. It is a wish of mine, and I don't think it will come true – only to highlight episodes…
Grey's Anatomy 3.02: I Am A Tree
The third season goes along with another episode of "Whom do I choose?" and the obvious answer of "I don't know, who to choose", which is followed by a "I will date both men, so I can choose better."
Either I was laughing thanks to nitrous oxide, which I was thinking to have at the moment, when I watched this episode, or this story was actually super funny. In a negative way. Of course, Grey's Anatomy is a soap, but it looks like that the writers want to go deep into the soap genre, starting with this season.
No, I didn't like the episode for various reasons, and of all things it was Cristina's storyline I liked the most. which was not that hard to do in this episode…
Grey's Anatomy – Season 2
For viewers bored or distressed by the constant gore and breakneck speed of hospital dramas like ER, Grey's Anatomy comes as a breath of fresh air. Unlike other shows set in the world of medicine, this series is just as concerned with its characters' personal lives as with their medical careers, and thrives by stressing the way in which the two intertwine. After all, for surgical interns who have chosen to dedicate their lives to medicine, the hospital largely becomes their home.
Rather than standing on its own, each medical challenge sheds some light on the doctors' personal experiences, bringing the hospital environment to a refreshingly relevant level. While the series may not be the most realistic medical drama on television, it is certainly the most compelling and entertaining, containing such juicy plotlines as love triangles, affairs between co-workers, and secret romances. The second season is picking up right where the first one left off, with Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) discovering that her boyfriend, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) has been hiding the fact that he's married. Shocked and betrayed, Meredith embarks on a messy healing process that involves angry shouting matches and a string of one-night stands. As usual, the show avoids taking itself too seriously by interjecting serious themes with light-hearted dialogue and humorous medical emergencies. Rounding out the already impressive ensemble cast are new characters like Derek's wife (Kate Walsh) and new love interests for most of the cast.
Episode 01: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
The season start was alright. Lots of drama and less medical drama. Lots of relationship stories against one medical story of the barkeeper. Cristina (Sandra Oh) told Meredith about her pregnancy – who cares, a story which doesn't interest me right now. McDreamy has a wife, this is much more interesting, but the upcoming fight between Meredith and Addison wasn't one. Well, at least Addison knows what she did and isn't on a fight with the lover of her husband. It is nice to see that George (T.R. Knight) and Alex (Justin Chambers) can't stand each other, but I wanted to see more about that. And the rest was pretty uninteresting and there is nothing much to talk about. 6,5/10
Grey's Anatomy – Season 1
This is my first "real" season review: It has more words than the other first one.
So, what is this show about? Grey's Anatomy is a hospital drama that focuses on Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), one of several first-year surgical interns at the Seattle Grace Hospital. Along with her colleagues, Meredith struggles to maintain relationships while staying sharp at her new job.
The series was created by Shonda Rhimes; the first season with 9 episodes aired between March and May 2005 on ABC.
Episode 1: A Hard Day's Night You can see it as a softer rip off from ER, but it isn't. It is like a soap opera, set in a hospital.
Sure, this pilot isn't that great, but it has some good moments. The characters were good introduced, the cases for the interns were also good. But the whole episode is full of cliches. There you have the shy and sweet George (T.R. Knight), the arrogant Alex (Justin Chambers), the hard-woman, "don't try it with me"-face Cristina (Sandra Oh), and the "bitch for everyone", because she is a model, Izzie (Katherine Heigl). I can live with that, if the actors are great, and they are great. Finally the pilot was good enough to bring me into the world of Grey's Anatomy and watch the whole season. It only has nine episodes, so… whatever. 7/10
Episode 2: The First Cut Is The Deepest This was a little bit boring. Nothing much happened for the characters, but the cases were interesting. Nevertheless it is a little bit depressing, that the show is some kind of soap opera from the beginning. I don't have much interest in love stories, when they are not well written or when they are not progress fast enough. Due to the fact, that the relationship between Meredith and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) is a keystone in the series, I expect some more soap drama, cliches and boredom. 6,5/10
Episode 3: Winning a Battle, Losing the War Less love story, more work on the characters and more medical cases – that's what I wanted to see. Good episode.
Cristina's story was my favorite in this one; she is not the ice-cold surgeon, who just wants to operate people, now she has to deal with the people and their family she operates; there were some great character moments. But Izzie and George are so kind-hearted, that's a little problem for me – two of the main characters, almost written the same, are the source of the corny storylines. But when there's enough drama in it, I can live with it. And this episode was filled with real good drama. 8/10
Episode 4: No Man's Land Actually a really good episode and the best so far. Izzie's and Cristina's medical cases were wonderful written and executed. Cristina goes more and more human and Izzie has to deal with her underwear model past. The funny parts with George and the girls were also great, but it is not really logical that he complaints about two hot girls he is living with. Damn man, who complaints about them? You must be gay (ironic, isn't it?). But the guy with the nails in his head was a bit boring. And the love story between Meredith and Derek stands still… Nothing happens between the two. It is like, the authors want to save this storyline for later episodes. And that doesn't look good. 8,5/10
Episode 5: Shake Your Groove Thing A good episode and a good character development for Meredith: First she has to deal with the responsibility of her mother Ellis (Kate Burton, I like this storyline), than with a mistake she did during an operation. The rest was just okay. Burke (Isaiah Washington) and Cristina are finding each other; Meredith and Derek finally have more of a relationship (and somebody from the hospital finally knows about it) and Alex is not a sucker for the first time, I actually liked him in this episode.
Sure, the series has a lot of main characters, but maybe the authors should concentrate more on some recurring characters, like ER does it its whole lifetime, then this show would be more varied. 8/10
Episode 6: If Tomorrow Never Comes The episode was alright. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) gives Derek and Meredith a hard time, after she found out the both are together (or not, it is not that clear); Izzie and Alex are bonding… in a weird kind of way; George tries to get closer to Meredith; and Cristina and Burke seem to be together finally. The two main medical cases are interesting and full of emotions.
But the setup was a bit boring – oh wait, the whole season has this problem. And btw: The relationship between Cristina and Burke is deeply boring and lame written. 7/10
Episode 7: The Self-Destruct Button A pretty good episode. Meredith's friends learn the truth about Derek being her lover. And their story is going on, when Izzie realizes that Meredith is falling for him – one step closer to a relationship between the sex. I liked the medical cases about the little girl and the college girl, both emotional cases, great written and executed.
I just ask myself, why nobody listened to George's suspicion about the drunken anesthesiologist – instead of listening to him he gets kicked out of the OR… What is that for a hospital? And where the hell is the Chief (James Pickens Jr.)? His character is like a recurring; bringing him into the story when it is necessary. Not good. 8/10
Episode 8: Save Me Average episode. Except the psycho, all medical cases were boring and uninteresting, just the main characters could convince. Meredith is trying to find out more about Derek, Alex gets more and more characteristics and is more and more likable and Izzie tries to bake some brownies. But what are the authors doing with Cristina's storyline? It is revealed that she is pregnant, and still her storyline is boring as hell.
But this episode marks the first appearance of Sarah Utterback, so I like it a little bit more, because I like her. 6,5/10
Episode 9: Who's Zoomin' Who? Well, some cliffhanger had to come. So Derek is married and we actually see his ex-wife Addison (Kate Walsh). For a season finale, which was not really a planned season finale it had some typical season finale stories. The Chief's brain tumor (so, he found out and he was operated, all in one episode – when I remember the seventh season of ER I found Greene's tumor storyline much much better), the arrivals of new relationship problems for Meredith and Derek and a storyline which involved the whole hospital: Syphilis is spreading on. It is nice to see that George, who looked just stupid in his scene with Olivia, can kick ass. That is some great character development there.
It was a good season finale, I liked it. 8/10
The average of the season is 7,5. I think I watched the season for the fourth or fifth time now and it still is a pretty good average. It is a shame that I never came close to the season two finale. Instead I canceled the second season a couple of times in the last third and never watched any episode starting with season three.
I planned to watch the second season right afterwards, but I will take myself more time. At least I have four whole seasons I can watch.
