Against the Broncos who had the worst statistical defense in the NFL last season and is OKAY this season, Sanchez went bad for bad with Tebow, jets defense choked that last drive by tebow, but it should not have come down to that, Sanchez should be able to put up more than 13pts (6 of which were scored by a O-Lineman falling on a fumble) , point is good QBs lead their team to at least 24pts in that game and that game is OVER, Tebow cant lead them back from a big deficit against good teams
Same with the Patriots game, worst secondary in the NFL with 3rd string safeties and corners and sanchez cant even take advantage of that, hell even Henne who ill admit sucks put up 400 yards and 3 total TDs
Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints
Why is everything we do compared to The Jets and Sanchez?
The stench of envy from some people is lurid.
It takes discipline to not formulate opinions about something WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS.
This year the running game has been bad most of the year as well as the OL. It's hard to perform, w/ that said he hasn't stepped up either. He has taken a step back w/o a doubt but he's not a bad QB.
What does Den's D last year have to do w/ this year? Their D hasn't been awful this year but it doesn't matter, our O and QB are in a funk. It happens, just like last year when we got shut down by Miami in Dec. I'm confident Mark and the O will bounce back just like they did last year.
The Pats D is much better than the stats, they allow about the same # of points per game as our supposed top defense.

It's really not that big of a deal anymore to be better than Mark Sanchez is it?

You've probably heard about the local teens suspended for doing their own "Harlem Shake" at school, but we found another video that some say proves the school has a double standard.
We talked with students, parents and people who have seen the videos. They told us in a lot of ways they are the same, and they believe kids getting in trouble for one and not the other sends a mixed message.
A YouTube video shows some young men from Milford High School Harlem shaking it up something serious. Talk about a spectacle of epic proportions. The 34-second clip shows shirtless male students and a live duck dancing to the song by Brooklyn producer Baauer. The song features few lyrics and has a heavy dance-flavored beat.
"I thought it was pretty funny," said Kevin Bufe.
He may LOL, but not everybody is laughing.
"They brought a duck into school. Get in trouble for that I could see, but not five days suspension," said Sean Alfano.
Some people are calling the punishments for this presentation hypocritical. A video shows that during the Mr. Milford pageant at the high school, four shirtless males danced on stage.
"Teachers and stuff thought it was funny then, so why is it not funny in the video?" Alfano said.
"They were both identical," said Bufe. "[They were] both school related, and so I just don't agree with them getting in trouble for it."
"They shouldn't have let them do it in the Mr. Milford pageant if it's a big deal," Alfano added.
The school issued the following statement about the "Harlem Shake" situation:
"The videos violated several areas of our Student Code of Conduct, including provisions regarding vulgarity, indecency, misrepresentation and the use of racial slurs. Students involved lied to the teacher to gain access to the classroom. Our students must be held accountable for their actions."
"I think people are being too sensitive over it," Bufe said.
"I can see where they're coming from because just because they snuck in there and all, but in the long run it's not even a big deal," said Alfano.
We did reach out to school administrators again to see what they had to say about the Mr. Milford video and, in all fairness, it was after business hours, so our calls have not yet been returned.

Charlie Brown nightie I like my nightgown-keeps me warm...but... I think it would be more appealing to a woman if it was made more feminine. It must have been designed by a man-or something else, because the neckline is so stiff and proper. That is very unappealing to me. Maybe a loser neck and some lace at the bodice cuffs and bottom would make it more womanly feminine. January 4, 2015
A flannel nightgown like a warm Hug I love all the Peanuts characters and they are wonderful on this nightbgown....the material is so soft and smooth and a wonderful thickness to give the perfect amount of warmth...great length...fit is very comfortable with no binding at all...a "feel good" purchase for sure. December 19, 2014
Love it! Love this nightgown. Very soft and so cute. I do have to say though that I got the idea from other reviews that this ran very small. Not finding that at all. In fact I would say it runs large. Order accordingly but I promise you will love it. December 15, 2014
Cute, with great proportions. I bought this for my mom and she loved it. The sleeves are long enough (which is hard to find), and open at the bottom (rather than buttoned or cuffed). It does seem to run a bit small. November 25, 2014
I HAVE TWO because ONE PEANUT is never enough!! Received one as a gift over a year ago and quickly purchased another. Nice and warm. Very soft, yet not flimsy. Holds up wash after wash in cold water and low-heat, as instructions state. Maintains its structure and print details. Extra buttons thoughtfully sewn into inside seam. I purchased a small and it's roomy enough for me, but if you're on the brink of S/M you might want to size up. It's my go-to for cool CA evenings. October 19, 2014
Cozy Fun The nightgown is cozy and warm and is well made. I am glad I got the "large" size even though I am a "medium"; the gown is straight-cut and a person needs that extra room. It's fun to sleep with the "Peanuts" characters! May 5, 2014
Out of the Mouths of Babes! Well I am so glad my jammies pass a 3 year olds expectations! From Cameron earlier..."Hey Grammie, you know what? You have really good Grandmother Jammie's! I never knew anyone ever before that has Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Woodstock, Linus, Lucy and EVERYONE on their jammies. Those are really awesome Grandmother Jammie's!" May 3, 2014
runs small Bought this nightgown in my usual size. It runs about 2 sizes smaller compared to other flannel nightgowns I have purchased from VCS. It has a very straight cut to it - so just know that before ordering. March 7, 2014

|Sportsman's Classic This Weekend
The Benoits, a family of famous Vermont deer hunters who lead guided hunts and have published books and video on how to hunt deer, will be at the Sportsman's Classic. The father, Larry, (pictured above holding the rifle) lives about a half mile down the road from our inn.
One of Vermont's largest events, the Sportsman's Classic, takes place this coming weekend at the Champlain Expo facility in Essex Junction near Burlington.
About 15,000 people will fill the halls to view displays about hunting, fishing and other outdoor pursuits. The event starts at noon on Friday and ends Sunday afternoon.
For the children, there will be a reptile show, trout pond, casting competition, archery shoot, pellet gun shoot, and shooting simulator .
For adults, there is a fly casting pond, 45 free seminars, free ATV demo rides on a one mile course, prizes, raffles, and giveaways.
A portion of the proceeds benefits Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, a special Vermont camp for children with cancer. Last year the show raised an amazing $10,000 for the camp.

CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA - Two boys crossing the street were innocent bystanders of a two-car crash Friday morning.
"I was screaming the boy got hit, the boy got hit call 911, I grabbed my phone but my hands were shaking so bad,"said Elane Romarate, a witness. Every morning Romarate and other neighbors saw the two boys walk to school with their mother.
The crash happened just after 8 a.m. at the intersection of Greenback Lane and Mariposa Avenue when a Chrysler 300 going westbound hit a Chevrolet Suburban that was traveling southbound, Citrus Heights police Officer Chad Morris said.
Because of the crash, the driver of the Chrysler 300, Tresa Bales-Sterba, 52, lost control of the car and hit the two brothers that were crossing the street, Morris said.
The boys, ages 6 and 8, attend Skycrest Elementary School, which is about half-a-mile from the crash scene. They both suffered major injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. One of the boys was later life-flighted to another hospital for specialized care.
Witnesses said the boys are brothers and were just a few steps ahead of their mother, who was walking with their sister, when they were hit by the car.
"I texted my wife and she's devastated, she sees these kids walking to and from school with ther Mom,"said Daniel Sherburn, a neighbor. Sherburn is a former EMT. He ran over to assist a nurse who was first on scene. Theytried to keep the boys calm until paramedics arrived.
"The one child he was in the middle of the street, he was conscious, he was crying, he was trying to move and we were trying to keep him from moving,"said Sherburn.
Morris said Bales-Sterba failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. She was booked into Sacramento County Jail for felony DUI.
Traffic in both directions of Greenback Lane was blocked between San Juan Avenue and Birdcage Street until4 p.m.

Coughs, while rarely serious, can be really annoying! Some of these herbal remedies can provide great relief from a cough, especially when you're having difficulty sleeping.
- Lemon juice, sweetened with loaf or crushed sugar, will relieve a cough. –The 1852 Old Farmer's Almanac
- The root of sweet flag was often powdered or sliced and used as a ginger substitute or throat lozenge.
- Drink mullein flower tea.
- Catnip tea helps reduce mucus.
- To suppress a night cough, put 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon sugar into a mug. Pour in boiling water and let steep. The pepper will settle to the bottom. Sip, as needed.
- Horehound drops, made with the extract of the leaves of the bitter mint Marrubium vulgare, can be combined with honey for a soothing cough drop, or served as a tea with lemon.
- Hot and spicy foods act as expectorants, loosening up the lung's secretions.
- A reader told us that a teaspoon of mustard will relieve a cough for up to four hours. See if it works for you!
Now here's a cure for a severe winter cough that comes from The Old Farmer's Almanac archives: The Dirt Cure! Here's how it works:
- Find a piece of land covered with bushes and small stones.
- When the land has a foot of snow but is not frozen solid, shovel off the snow.
- Then cut down the bushes and dig out the stones, turning up fresh and pure soil.
- Bring fistfuls of soil to your face and inhale the scent of fresh earth.
- Continue until you have cleared half an acre, and you will find yourself strong and hale, and entirely rid of your cough!

Original Price: $699.99 Shop all Integrated Amplifiers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff. Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman It's simple because it knows exactly what you need Upgrade your computer audio experience Peachtree makes it simple for you. You have a computer with lots of music files? The decco65 and a pair of quality speakers will take you the rest of the way to a genuine audiophile experience. See? Simple. But there's a lot happening behind the scenes. We'll start with the big guns. The decco65, as you might guess from the name, boasts 65 watts per channel of pristine power. The power is clean and precise thanks to Class D solid-state amplifier modules, known for their extremely low distortion and cool-running energy efficiency. But clean power's just the tip of the decco65 iceberg. Getting the most from your music files Your computer's direct USB audio output connects to a custom-designed 24-bit/192kHz asynchronous USB input. In concert with the decco65's acclaimed ESS Sabre DAC, the original data is seamlessly processed to reveal every jitter-free musical detail in every digital file in your collection. Galvanic isolation on this circuit prevents electrical noise from contaminating the signal. And if the files you're playing are somewhat compressed, or if you're streaming low-data rate music directly from cloud-based services, the hybrid nature of the decco65 comes into play. A smooth, warm tube buffer can be switched on or off from the remote to take the harsh edges off of less-than-perfect digital sources. "My first impression of the Peachtree decco65, according to my listening notes: Someone with a good ear has voiced this amp…. The decco65 had a distinctly tight, pacey bass register, while its treble range was believably crisp without being bright…. Peachtree Audio's decco65 is among the most recommendable affordable-perfectionist products I've had the pleasure of using." — From Art Dudley's review in Stereophile, March, 2013 Read the full review Plays well with the rest of the class The decco65 handles other sources as well. The DAC has 3 digital audio inputs (1 optical, 2 coaxial). The coaxial inputs will handle sample rates up to 192 kHz. And there's a stereo analog input waiting to connect to more traditional gear. If you want to stream music wirelessly from your iOS® device, consider adding an Apple TV to your setup — it will connect digitally to the 65 and give you the power to direct your playlist from anywhere within Wi-Fi® range. Shh, audiophile at work If your listening needs to be a bit more focused and private, the decco65's integrated headphone amplifier will provide even demanding high-performance headphones with a musical signal that exudes presence and clarity. When you plug them in, your music runs through the tube stage while the signal to the speakers is muted. You might expect this much versatility to be complex or bulky, but check the picture above one more time. The controls are elegantly simple, the design sleek and compact.

I bought this after I tried the home theater receiver Dennon. My interest is in high quality music sound so this unit works well for me.I use it with the Klpch RF62. 65w per chnl is more than enough for me. The Dennon which I returned rated 85w but kept shutting down due to over loaded. The decco feels cool after running for hours. This unit is good but pricey to me. I think it should be around 800 bucks. Pros: Sound good. Simple hook up. Running very cool. Plenty of power. Has variety of inputs so that I can hook it to TV, DVD, Labtop, smart phone, Cons: Only one RCA input. I have to buy a multiple input box to solve this problem. This box let me to hook 4 inputs and then I can push a button, 1,2,3,4 to select the input I want to play. Was this review helpful? Yes No Digital "Integrated Amp" for the 21st century Written By Daniel G, Northeast, OH on Thursday, March 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It surprises me that there are so few products on the market like the Decco65. It is not just a very good DAC and amplifier and headphone amp in one package. It is really a digital integrated amp, allowing several different digital sources to feed into the DAC and amplifier. For those who want to focus on two channel sound, but perhaps desire their blu-ray and television audio to feed into a quality DAC as well, its two digital coax ports, spdif port, and asynchronous usb port (along with one analog) allow one to avoid the inevitable sonic compromises inherent in going with a multi-channel Home Theater receiver (HTR). If you want, you can put a HTR into the mix. With a SACD transport, a blu-ray, a cable box, a mac-mini, and the occasional laptop, I'm all set, and have been able to avoid upgrading these items to keep up with DAC technology advances (especially asynchronous usb). The performance of the amp is wonderful--if you are accustomed to using the Watts Per Channel numbers published by the mainstream manufacturers, you will find the Decco's 65 WPC to be a quite conservative estimate. Much of amplification is about the skew rate, and while I don't know the Decco65's numbers, I can hear that it has plenty of dynamic punch to power my fairly low sensitivity speakers in demanding musical passages. Performance of the USB DAC is superb--to my ears, it easily bests spdif input. If there's a weakness, it is that I have found the headphone amp to be good but not special. Pros: Versatility. If you don't want to purchase both a high quality amplifier and a digital pre-amp, this product provides the quality of separates in a stylish, svelte package. Cons: The quality of the headphone amp is about what you might expect for the price point. Otherwise Peachtree exceeds expectations with the Decco65. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Swiss Army Knife frontend Written By jimmyjames, Raleighwood on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this all in one unit to go with my new Harbeth P3ESR SE speakers for a desk top system in my home office. Replaced a Dacmagic and a Nad315 integrated amp. I've been playing wav and flac files off my desk top PC via coax with Foobar as the player and am just blown away how good this system sounds now. Mind you it's only been playing a couple hours and it just sounds fantastic. Listening to Bob Marley Greatest Hits and the Decco just has gobs of bass and dynamic punch that my old system just didn't have. It's got that tube warmth with just one little two channel tube glowing in the window. You can switch it out of the signal path for less warmth so I guess that is the only tone control on the Decco 65. Very happy with it and I'm sure it will just sound better as it burns in more. Highly recommended. Pros: Size, inputs, built in 24/192 dac, power, headphone out and the SOUND!

The decco65 has the sonic signature of a great A/B amp with the power efficiency of Class D. Its combination of low distortion, high bandwidth, and energy efficiency makes it the ideal partner to the decco65's digital front-end and hybrid tube preamp. Tube Buffer: The Tube Buffer uses a stereo triode 6N1P to smooth the harsh digital edge found in poor recordings and compressed audio. It can be switched on or off from the remote control to match your preference at any given time. Its especially good for Pandora, MOG, Spotify and most Internet Radio listening. The decco65 features a front-panel tube windows which allows you to view the glow of the unit's tube. ESS Sabre 9023 DAC: The ESS Sabre Digital to Analog Converter is widely recognized as the world's best DAC when dealing with hostile digital components, like computers and streamers. The ESS Sabre 9023 Digital to Analog Converter contains a multi-layer board with over 450 components and 11 regulated power supplies that work in unison to produce the Peachtree sonic signature. The ESS Sabre Dace's patented jitter reduction circuit re-clocks the digital signal before passing it through a high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz upsampling processor, perfect for computers, iPods, and most streaming or hard-drive based music servers because they typically have high levels of jitter (digital timing error between the source and the DAC). Jitter is all but eliminated (<3 picoseconds) leaving a beautiful, natural sound. Compatible Audio Formats: The Peachtree Audio decco65 integrated amplifier supports various standard resolution and high resolution audio formats; such as MP3, WMA, AAC, AIFF, WAV, PCM, FLAC, and Apple Lossless. Galvanic Isolation: Galvanic Isolation is typically reserved for more expensive DAC circuits. Galvanic isolation prevents electrical noise from entering the DAC board on all grounded digital inputs. Any contamination due to the switching power supply, multiple ground points, and high speed processing is isolated from the DAC so nothing but pure 1's and 0's reach the DAC circuit. Headphone Amp: The Class A headphone amp in the decco65 switches the speakers off when your headphones are inserted, so even when a quiet environment is required, you can still fill your head with lush high-resolution music. The headphone output runs through the tube stage so you can enjoy that smooth tube sound in solitude. Controls Power/Standby Switch: The main power switch is located on the rear-panel of the decco65 integrated amplifier. Once the main power switch has been turned on, you can power on/off the integrated amplifier from the front power button or remote control. Volume Control: The front-panel volume control is motorized from the remote control and has a button indicator to allow the user to see levels from a distance. Input Select: The integrated amplifier features five front-panel input select buttons (USB, Coax1, Coax2, Opt, & Aux). Remote Control: The Peachtree Audio decco65 includes an IR remote control for wireless operation of the integrated amplifier. There are also basic playback buttons which allow you to control Play/Pause, Skip Forward, & Skip Backward of your connected Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad (requires optional dock, sold separately). Connections 24-Bit/192kHz Asynchronous USB Input: The Peachtree decco65 is equipped with a USB (type-B) port to connect to your Windows PC or Mac computer. It is capable of supporting up to 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution audio and uses the latest in asynchronous communication. Asynchronous allows the decco65's's internal high-precision clock to control the flow of data coming from the computer. This method lowers incoming jitter so the ESS Sabre DAC has less timing errors to reclock. USB implementation is one of the more difficult tasks in the real world of computer audio. Note: You will need to install the included CD software (XMOS Driver) download for 24-bit/192kHz playback on a Windows PC. Digital Audio Inputs: The decco65 is equipped with one optical (toslink) and two coaxial (RCA) digital inputs for connecting external digital audio sources, such as a Blu-ray/DVD player, Sonos player, Sequeezebox, Apple TV, or Apple Airport Express. The unit's optical digital input will accept up to 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution audio, while the two coaxial digital input will accept up to 24-bit/192kHz. Analog Audio Inputs: The Peachtree Audio decco65 contains a set of analog line-level RCA stereo inputs for connection to your SACD/CD player, AM/FM tuner, turntable (requires Phono preamp, sold separately). Speaker Terminals: The Peachtree Audio decco65 Integrated Amp is fitted with four heavy-duty, gold-plated binding-post speaker terminals to connect your left and right speakers. The binding-post speaker terminals can accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), banana-plugs (single only), spade-connectors, and pin-connectors. The unit's binding-post speaker terminals are clearly marked red-positive and black-negative for proper polarity connections.

Do you believe there is a shadow government in the USA.
George Soros is said to be the architect of the US Shadow Government in the United States and funds many of the subversive groups associated with that effort. One of the most powerful men in Washington runs the shadow Government ... Harold Ickes. That is if you believe that it exists.
Soros is the most frequent visitor to the White House with almost as many visits as Labor Unions.
Soros and Ickes are described as the most powerful people in Politics and the real power and decision makers in Washington .. thus Shadow Government.
What do you think?
Nov 14 2013: Back in my sinning days...
Inside my town's small local Post Office.
I would receive postal money orders in payment for my books that were sent COD.
I cashed them right at the Post Office.
Not a big deal. Less than $50 a book. About learning a specialized business.
But it had to have been interesting to law enforcement, and to my local Postmaster.
My friend, who knew, told me that my mail was being opened and read by the local
Postmaster, at the request of a Police Detective from a nearby city.
The whys are not important.
What is important, is that Police and Postmasters can open your mail
anytime they want to. Privacy has never really existed.
They all just deny that it happens.
In small towns, when a new resident is away, there is an unspoken practice
where the Police enter and look through everything.
Shadow government? Look for the guy on the street, with the badge.
Or the postal clerk. They are all driven by curiosity. And are never caught.
A story --
I was starting a new home business. Across the street stood a 10 foot palm tree
in front of a window. One day it was cut down. I noted a small hole in the center
of the window shade, and I thought; Wow, Someone is watching me.
I must be paranoid.
Later that afternoon, I drove on the beach road toward my bank. I passed two men
wearing suits. They appeared to have suddenly recognized me, and turned away.
Strange behavior, I thought. Why would anyone be wearing a suit at the beach
on such a warm day.
The following Tuesday, a Police Detective showed me his search warrant.
I had planned to stop writing this, at this point.
But this was too funny not to tell you.
The search warrant was defective.
It was written for an address in another county.
The really dumb cop didn't read the thing.
I invited them in anyway.
Maybe a shadow government could be a good thing.
Ya think?Nov 14 2013: Robert, the same thing happened just now.
I opened my old Windows Word program.
Microsoft is requiring a new EULA be signed there also.
Something is not Kosher with Microsoft.
Please read both my submissions for today, and let me know
if you think that I am making to much of this occurrence.
I will appreciate it.
Nov 14 2013: Frank, I do not understand these things such as EULA .... I am pretty sure that there are ways to track users over the internet ... if you were in big trouble they would be at your door .... So my advice is on the most basic level. Read up on EULA's and find out what the lines of authority on your side and their side is .... if you do not understand then call the company help line and have then explain it.
You do not have to say you were using a old version ... just ask them about if you agree to a EULA and apply it to your business is there ever a chance you would lose all of the data when support stops.
Shadow governments are interested in pulling the strings behind the scenes .... they control the face ... They would make the face put changes into effect that would best fit their long range objectives. Such as implementing the tools of socialism to undermine our Republic.
Wish I could help you .... that is way out of my league.
Best of luck .... Bob.Nov 14 2013: I don't know about Shadow Government being at fault
with what has just occurred with Microsoft's Excel Spreadsheets.
But, I am getting scared.
I have been critical of the NSA-DHS-GCHQ-Microsoft connections.
Many years ago, I had Lotus 123 spreadsheet software that I used to create a program
that allowed me to handicap horse races in a competitive fashion.
Along comes Microsoft with 95/98/Me/XP. I gradually was lured away to use Excel
spreadsheet software. Never as good as Lotus, but worked for my needs. Recently
Microsoft sold me Windows8, and then an upgrade to Windows8.1. I bought the deal.
I found immediately that this new software was social software, and Excel was to be
purchased separately at $9 per month, or $99 per year. I looked it over, and declined
to buy it.
After all, I had my older Excel. Why buy new?
So, when Microsoft displayed a notice that my old Excel 2001 wasn't supported, I ignored it.
I had never had any virus or other nasty thing, and Windows8.1 did not give me Excel.
A couple of minutes ago, just as I returned to my old Excel to continue my working.
A Notice appeared from Microsoft, (a One-Way Missile, with no one to respond to).
It stated --
"You must accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) to use this software.
If you don't accept, this application will quit."
A threat?
It was a phrase that I could not copy.
I am old as dirt, 75 years old.
I had to rewrite it with my very faulty memory. But, I got it right.
I hit "Decline" and MY OLD EXCEL was gone. POOF !!
Following that Phrase, in a box, was the EULA starting with the following expression...
(NON-OPERATING SYSTEM) blah blah blah.
Pirates that take my money need be stopped.
I do not consider this merely a mistake. 20 years of hard work designing my spreadsheet
program, and some jerk at Microsoft is going to steal it?
What would you do?Nov 12 2013: If by shadow you mean those pulling the strings behind the scene, then sure there is and there always has been, not just in the U.S. but behind practically every 'government' that has existed. Since governments are all about power and control of whole populations they are an open invitation to every form of corrupting influence and rampant self-interest as well as the benevolent and the idealistic. Political parties are simply the stage performance keeping us from looking behind the curtains.
Those Influences are being played out daily in the very real life game we call "politics" and all are vying to manipulate the levers of control (government) so they can then exert power (influence) in some public arena or another. Some for the greater good, far more for their own self interests. All working from the shadows. Some have been far more successful than others is all. Has everyone seen the movie Wag the Dog?
So grab a drink and a snack, enjoy the performance or boo the performers just as long as you keep paying the cover charges.. But if you go peeking behind the curtains the management takes no responsibility for your disappointment or disgust.
Btw, I hear Soros has been spending some of his billions promoting democratic governance in the old USSR regions. Is Soros perhaps trying to introduce the concept to US officials as well?Nov 12 2013: Easy.
Certainly there is a shadow but brilliant government in the USA.
The Federal Reserve controls the US and belongs to the elite Jews of the World.
Also the Media that belongs to the Jew Community.
Then the Academic Arena controlled by the Jews.
Then the Army controlled by the President, which is controlled by the FED.
Then who is in Charge?Nov 12 2013: My shadow has a shadow.
Yes there is layers of power.
Regardless there is still the USA government which may be a shadow but whats the difference between comparing two shadows when the actions remain the same.Nov 12 2013: Then every government is a shadow government that allows for financial contribution. A true shadow government doesn't just spend money, they get the person elected dispite the way the vote goes. Do you think soros would dictate obama to create obama care? Umm no, so common man this is the definition of conspiracy theory. You think soros is the illiminati? Do you think roswell held aliens, 911 was an inside job, we didn't walk on the moon and global climate change is a left wing rouse? Humans like to make connections where none exist but you sound a bit crazy to be a tedster, no offense. If I had billions I would sure as hell spend some to try to change wshington too as would any other person.
Nov 12 2013: Wow, Scott, you go off the deep end quick. I only ask you to draw your own conclusions ... from there we arrived that "I am crazy ... no offense".
You have stated you want one world government .... It would seem I have hit a nerve with you in asking this question and you have come to the administrations defense. Trying to spin off the topic at hand does not change the facts ... Soros and Ickes do hold much sway in Washington and this administration.
I will put you down as a NO to this question and move on.
Thanks for your reply. Bob.
Nov 12 2013: First off, I did draw my own conclusion and I stated it, I did not say you are crazy I merely asked if you think those things because studies hve shown that suspician of government has a strong corolation with conspiracy theories. I said you sound crazy not that you are.
Second, studies have shown that in order to move on to become a level 1 civilization according to asamov we must have a global government and illiminate nationalism and infighting, so yes I am pro world government. I am also not a democrat nor republican. If you want to put me in a bo then maybe socialist would be more appropriate but it must be a democratically driven socialism. I also believe that there should be limits on campaign contribution and no corporate contributions. Just want to make that clear.
I did agree that soros does donate to further his own interests but so does every other billionaire and many millionaires. You replied that soros and ikes hold much sway, no arguement here. That is what I said in my original post, sway is not equal to shadow government
I also agree let's move on and agree to disagree
Nov 12 2013: again ... agreed.Nov 11 2013: No, however money does make power in many cases, so i have no doubt that government is heavily influenced by those who have money. Are there more nuances to global politics than any one person can understand? yes. Are billionaires dumb? usually not. will they use their money to benefit themselves and their compatriots? yes. Is it a shadow government when they do? no. Should we try to limit their power and reserve power for the people? yes, it is in our constitution that this is a government made by the people for the people and for good reason. We have strayed from that ideology in favor of living our lives as our own when it is our duty to live our lives in a manner that creates a strong union of states, and citizens as one nation. Soros isn't even american so i would hope he doesn't have power over the government of the US.
Nov 12 2013: Soros is a naturalized citizen since 1961. He IS a major force in the democratic party and funds approximately 60 plus far left political sites. His goal is One World Government. He is a frequent White House visitor and holds much sway in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.
You can read for yourself about George Soros and Harold Ickes and the relationship with the clintons and Obamas. Draw your own conclusions.
Also there are many articles on Shadow governments in which Soros and Ickes are mentioned often in each article.
As for the power resting with the people ... politicians have two objectives getting elected and getting re-elected. They used their position and power to generate political and personal wealth ... the "people" are the least of their concerns. They have become elitists and have often voted themselves above the law of the land. The "We the People" only applies to the general election.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.
Nov 12 2013: I stand corrected, i agree we need a world government but I still cannot believe in a shadow government in the context of a conspiracy beyond money influencing policy and getting candidates elected.
Nov 12 2013: Let me see .... your backers spend big bucks ... get you elected ... and then dictate to you national policy ... as you state above.
Yeah if that works why do we need a shadow government ... OR ... is that a shadow government? Yep by golly thats it.Oct 30 2013: I feel Shadow Government has extended connotations that don't necessarily apply, however I would agree that our political heads are being more heavily influenced by the money and power then by the will of the people or the greater good (Which are not necessarily the same)Oct 29 2013: Not sure but it has happened in the past, so I would not be surprisedOct 28 2013: definitely. and they use talons to eliminate their opponents.Oct 28 2013: It depends what you mean with shadow government.
It's no secret that money decides what happens in politics.
Good example are the Koch brothers. Although I wouldn't call that shadow government, it's still bad for society because decisions are made based on who has the deeper pockets and not the best ideas.
Timo X
Oct 29 2013: But would the best ideas surface in e.g. a Marxist society or any other where wealth considerations are not a concern? I doubt it: democracy is also limited by the rationality and knowledge of its constituents. Such are the flaws of the system.Oct 28 2013: Well one thing seems to be a fairly clear - an accelerating trend and development in the last 20 years or so, whereby governments less and less fulfill their mandate to govern for the good of the whole population, and more and more for the already rich and powerful - just about everywhere, not just USA.
- +1
Does that mean a "shadow government" is pulling the strings in its favour? Given the increasing amount of secrecy at the top, one would not be surprised.
The bail-out of the banks at the taxpayers' expense world-wide, and the lack of new regulations of the banking industry after 2008 certainly point in this direction. This was governments' big chance to prove they were in charge for the good of the whole; they failed miserably. Why? Either because they couldn't; or wouldn't. Both are unacceptable.
Nov 6 2013: Joshua, you have a good handle on this subject.
Notice how the Congress, and our President, and the Military are all
quiet as church mice about the secrecy of our government.
Instead of Boldly shuttering GITMO, and Stopping the WARS,
Obama reneged, and like an Eveready Battery, he just keeps killing.
Now we find, the NSA is the bad guy. But, the Military is running it.
Can it be the Military is running the nation as the "shadow government"?
It works in Egypt. It has happened many times in many nations.
Fed until Fat with taxes. Militaries grow and overcome Politicians.
Please don;t say "It can't happen here." It already has.
I'm going to do a new research project on "Before the Bail-Out Happened".
I recall that there was a national audit of most banks prior to the Bail-Out
when Henry Paulson convinced then President Bush, and Candidates Obama,
and McClain that "The Sky is Falling".
Goldman Sachs had suckered AIG with idiot-investments schemes, while Fanny,
Freddie and Ginny were going broke with bad Mortgage paper, and the Treasury
was being run the NyFED. Then Congress was scammed for all the cash we had,
and the fools sent it to the Banks.
Remember how the big Banks ate all the small ones?
Since the new "Modern History from 1760 to the Present Day" was written by a
CIA ex-employee, our kids might not get the full flavor of our "being had".
I bet the kids will really enjoy their Text Books... LOL

Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Further evidence as to how much things have changed and continue to change, and another testament to the potential of the Internet especially in delivering an audience for content, check out this animated music video.
It's called "Zombie Love Song" and as of this posting it's had 2,090,795 views on YouTube.
That's significant of course, for any video to have that many views, but what's makes this even more phenomenal is that the videio was uploaded on February 9.
Only two days ago.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
If you think that's a lot of views, this animated music video cut from the same fabric has had 7,815,310 views as of this writing, since January 26. That's two weeks and a day.
Song is funny.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
This is very significant and it's great news. If you can get 2 million views in 2 days, and 7 million views in 2 weeks, why would you need TV?
What's the point in pitching to execs when you can pitch to an audience. Your audience.
Man, this is so great.
And to make it even better, they direct the viewer to the purchase of the song.
There's the economy.
And it's entirely independent and straight to the people.
If this is the future then sign me up baby.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
and don't forget the youtube partnership program which basically enables the user to sign up for an ad revenue system thus putting more money directly into the creator's pocket.
Youtube is just the distribution, the venue or link to an audience. no middle man. direct access. It's how it should be.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
In the 22 hours since I posted my original comments, the views for "Zombie Love Song" on YouTube are now at 3,863,566.
Almost doubled in a day, and there's still 2 hours to go until we're at 24 hours. Amazing.
The other video, "My Balls" is at 8,132,833. That's an increase of more than 317,000 in the same time since yesterday.
It's a new day for content creators.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Views of the animated music video "Zombie Love Song" are at 4,509,244.
It went online on Wednesday, and here it is Sunday morning in LA and it's had 4 1/2 million views.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Zombie Love Song is at 5,005,569 views. There's still 2 days to go before it's been a week since it's been up on YouTube.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Looks like things may be slowing down a little for Zombie Love Song, but what a run. In the morning of its seventh day, it has 5,403,446 views.
Not bad, not bad.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Zombie Love Song's views are in the range of about 400,000 to half a million views a day, exactly a week after it's appearance on YouTube.
Still going strong at 5,846,875 views.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
The tally is at 6,318,426 views for Zombie Love Song.
Running major commercials prior to play.
They're making money with this.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Zombie Love Song at 8,078,785 views since February 9, 2011. That's 16 days, an average of half a million views a day in that time.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
song is too good and I love it really .
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Zombie Love Song is at 8,992,010 views in one month. And that's a February month with only 28 days. I'm sure it'll break 9 mil by 31 days.
That's amazing.
Think about what musicians and singers and performers and rock bands and what have you from years before went through dealing with the music industry for who knows how long.
And here's a crudely animated independently produced Flash music video with a good song that's been viewed and listened to 9 million times in a month with a method of purchase available. No record companies, no vinyl to press, no plastic to sell, no physical object involved in the purchase of the music other than a computer or a personal communication device.
The future is now.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
Zombie Love Song at 11,514,630 views since February 9.
Re: Zombie Love Song - 2 million YT views in 2 days
part of the success is due to the creator's or co-creator's popularity on youtube as a youtube vlogger or whatever you call it. In fact i would say that is the sole reason why it is successful. Ray William Johnson makes videos that basically group together a bunch of popular preexisting viral videos or videos that are going viral. He then adds his "witty" commentary. So basically what he does is take other content from videos on youtube and uses their collective popularity to be a one-stop place for youtube visitors. He updates frequently which is necessary in maintaining his large audience/subscribers.
you can read more about it here:
Much the same way other sites like cartoonbrew use others content as a vehicle for catalyzing commentary and or hits, this method has gained him lots of popularity. So when he releases a song and then links in his weekly vlog videos he is already promoting it to his pre-established fanbase that is in the millions.
The number of views therefore doesn't surprise me that much because he was basically and internet celebrity before releasing the music video. I'd doubt it would get as many views if it were released by a normal no-name band. In fact there are probably tons of no-name bands posting their content on youtube who might have excellent content but no fanbase or audience.
What is more impressive to me is the Duck song you posted because it seems like that was one of the rare occasions where something grew out of nothing.
I am not knocking the video, but trying to add some context to it's popularity and view count. Also it's just an example of the way things are going. People are demanding more and more content through the internet. Their attention spans are shortened and thus a lot of content (even if it's really good) becomes quickly disposable for the conditioned add consumer. Music videos are one of the few things that last a bit longer than your average viral video because of the replay value of the song. Most higher quality animated content does not fare as well because of the lack of audience as i previously mentioned as well as a minimal replay value.
Content is king indeed, but it seems now the providers and distributors of the vast amounts of content benefit the most. It's like the dj analogy. The Dj can play 30 hits in one night and get popular for playing great songs. Unless you're the beatles it's highly unlikely you can even get get past 1 or 2 top charting singles.
The same goes for those producing animated content. However, the important thing here is the fact that if you work hard enough and target your demographics (web popculture junkies and LCD audiences) you can develop a fanbase and profit off it with no middle man. The only people taking the money of course would be youtube or your distributors.
Interesting times indeed.

TEST DRIVE: Audi Gives Us the Keys to an A3 e-tron Electric Car Prototype
Audi just gave us a quick drive behind the wheel of a prototype of its upcoming A3 e-tron electric car — which won't hit the streets for another two years! Although the A3 e-tron we drove will look different on the outside when it's released, the all-electric powertrain was real and provides even more hope for the full adoption of electric vehicles in the industry. We also had a chance to interview Audi's Director of E-Mobility, Jeff Curry about the A3 e-tron and the future of Audi's electric lineup – hit the jump for more!
Electric car buyers are about to get even more options in the next few years with new models coming from BMW, Infiniti and Audi. Unlike the current electric vehicles from Ford, GM and Nissan, the new models like the BMW i3 and Audi A3 e-tron will bring electric models to the luxury segment. Although Audi and BMW are both preparing new electric cars, they are each taking different approaches. The BMW i3, which has been previewed by the i3 concept, is a new model from the ground up that does not share its body with any other BMW model. It's also being launched under the new BMW i sub-brand.
Audi is at the other end of the spectrum. Instead of building a new dedicated electric vehicle, Audi has chosen to create electric versions of its current lineup. This means that the A3 e-tron will look almost identical to the gasoline and diesel-powered A3 models. Audi's Director of E-Mobility, Jeff Curry, stated that Audi's research suggested that Audi customers that would be interested in an electric vehicle, still wanted to drive an "Audi". So this means that the Audi A3 and other future Audi e-tron models will look almost identical to the models in which they are based on.
So how does it drive? Well if it wasn't for the silent engine and different gauges, you probably wouldn't realize that you are driving a full electric car. The A3 e-tron drives almost exactly the same as the other A3 models. Of course it's not quite as fast as the turbocharged A3, but it definitely has the power to get up and go. Read on to find out more about our test drive!

The Eighth World Archaeological Congress (WAC-8) will be held in Kyoto, Japan.
Click here for more information.
Visit the official WAC-8 website!
During the conference "Culture Under Threat: The future of the 1954 Hague Convention" there will be discussions about the proposed WAC Accord on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. Image credit: Joanne Farchakh Bajjaly.
WAC International Congresses are held every four years. The Congresses offer an extensive range of opportunities for discussion of the results of new archaeological research. Sessions also focus on contemporary archaeological practice and political matters with opportunities for participants to share strategies of stewardship and develop inclusive policies. Congresses are open to both members and non-members.
The Sixth World Archaeological Congress (WAC-6) was held in Ireland at the University College Dublin from 29th June - 4 July 2008. It was attended by over 1,800 archaeologists from some 75 countries. WAC supported the attendance of around 230 participants from Indigenous groups and economically disadvantaged countries.
The Seventh World Archaeological Congress (WAC-7) was held in Jordan on the Dead Sea in January, 2013. For more information visit the WAC-7 website.
The WAC-7 Program is now available for download. This is the printed program from the WAC-7 Congress, including the abstracts of individual presentations listed in alphabetical order at the back of the program.
A number of important resolutions were passed at WAC-7 and approved by the WAC Executive. Click here for more information.
WAC-7 concluded on 18 January 2013 with the ever-exciting and engaging Plenary Session, a general business meeting at the end of every major WAC Congress that presents, for consideration by the WAC Council and Executive, matters arising from the academic proceedings. Professor Peter Stone, the 2013 recipient of the Peter Ucko Memorial Award, chaired the WAC-7 Plenary, which was attended by over 100 participants.
In total, 14 resolutions were brought to the Plenary. The topics of resolutions ranged widely, reflecting the missions and interests of WAC, the diverse themes of WAC-7, and pressing concerns in the world of archaeology and cultural heritage today. After more than two hours of debate, nine resolutions were passed by a show of hands of attendants of the Plenary. As the Plenary is not an official decision making body of WAC, all resolutions passed were sent to the Council and Executive for consideration, so that they might be adopted as WAC initiatives or policy.
Below, you will find a list of formally approved WAC-7 resolutions – this list will be updated as additional resolutions are discussed by the Executive.
Resolution concerning the relationship of archaeology and archaeologists with extant custodial and affiliated communities
--Proposed by Neel Kamal Chapagain (Nepal) and Michael J Kimball (USA), and derived from a WAC-7 session titled "The Past is Living in the Present."
The archaeological community increasingly engages with local communities through research and educational activities including public outreach. The World Archaeological Congress supports works presented at various sessions of WAC-7 in Jordan, as well as and institutional attempts such as ICCROM's Living Heritage Approach, which exemplifies principles, methods, and theoretical frameworks for properly valuing and engaging with unique world views and knowledges possessed by local communities. These approaches illustrate the vital importance to custodial communities of such world views and knowledges. In recognition of this, WAC encourages systematic efforts to develop a scholarship of community engaged archaeology through which such work can be documented, problematized, and improved with the goal of achieving holistic knowledge, participatory research, sustainable community development and management of archaeological heritage.
If you wish to propose an Inter-Congress at your affiliated institution, please notify any member of the WAC Executive. For consideration for WAC funding, the proposal needs to reach the WAC Executive by January of the previous year of the proposed Inter-Congress. For example, you need to submit a proposal of an Inter-Congress to be held in the year 2012 by January 2011. Please note that you need to be a WAC member to propose an Inter-Congress.
Guidelines for preparing a proposal for a World Archaeological Congress Inter-Congress (PDF)
Inter-Congresses are held between the major International Congresses convened by WAC every four years. Inter-Congresses bring together archaeologists to explore issues of interest. They are organised by members of WAC regional electoral colleges.

Report: WAC Inter-Congress Vienna: Archaeology in Conflict
The WAC Inter-Congress "Archaeology in Conflict," held in Vienna in April 2010, originated in the 6th World Archaeological Congress (WAC) which was held in Ireland at the University College Dublin (UCD) in July 2008. In three academic sessions the issue of archaeology and war was discussed most controversially. One was entitled "Archaeologists, War and Conflict: Ethics, Politics, Responsibility" and plead more or less for a boycott of the military by the scientific community. The second one, "Working with the Military: Not Evil, Just Necessary" did the opposite. The third one, "Archaeology in the Context of War" focused on legal and systematic issues. The hot topic even caused a local anarchic movement to utter immediate threats against the conference and its participants and the UCD felt it was necessary to ensure protection. As a consequence thereof uniformed police personnel were present during part of the conference. This fact triggered even more discussion during the final general assembly of the congress which by tradition is the closing forum of every WAC allowing its members and participants to discuss imminent issues and bring draft resolutions before the assembled audience and the WAC board. In the course of this assembly, I suggested to organize a WAC Inter-Congress (WAC IC) that would specifically deal with the issue of archaeology and war/military, explore the status quo and collect data that would serve as a basis for further decision making.
Before the WAC IC in Vienna was to take place another important event was already scheduled: the WAC IC in Ramallah in August 2009. This conference rooted in the 5th WAC which was held in Washington in 2003. One of the experiences of this WAC had been that many archaeologists from various countries around the world were hindered to attend a conference in the western part of the world due to political reasons and were denied visa. The WAC IC in Ramallah was held in Palestine largely because Palestinian people have great difficulties obtaining visas to many countries including the USA or countries in the EU. The fact alone that WAC powered an IC in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, but also the point that representatives from the Israel Antiquities Authority were not explicitly and directly invited to this event by its organizers, triggered off harsh critique from Israeli officials as well as the media resulting in the false accusation that Israeli and Jewish archaeologist were intentionally excluded from this event and that the whole conference was an anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic undertaking.
The WAC IC in Vienna was designed to finally overcome all these resentments. It was the intension to bring together people from all kinds of conflict zones as well as from all sectors actively involved: academia, NGOs, the military, law enforcement agencies, public service etc. For this reason I decided to broaden the organizational basis of the conference and to invite Blue Shield to power the event together with WAC. Also the venue, the Tech Gate within the so called UNO-City, the area were the UN office building in Vienna is located, was chosen to stress the neutrality of the meeting. And the patronage of UNESCO was well as the Austrian Commission for UNESCO, for which we feel very grateful and honoured, served the same purpose to guarantee a broad and neutral basis for discussions.
The WAC IC in Vienna was planned to hold approximately 20 papers covering all aspects under discussion. In the end we received about 100 proposals. Since most of them were excellent, we accepted about 80 changing the nature of the conference completely; it was in the end a series of short presentations of 15 minutes each. One remarkable element was the rather high number of junior scholars presenting their work in progress including the "Next Generation Project" on Facebook. The highlight of the conference was our participation in the speech of the Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, in the Austrian Parliament on the occasion of his state visit to Austria. Unfortunately, the WAC IC in Vienna also came to suffer under the fact that several registered experts and in particular some junior scholars in the end were not able to travel to Austria, either due to political (visa) or out of financial reasons. Nevertheless, the conference was very successful - in quality and also in quantity with the highest number of participants as well as papers delivered ever at a WAC IC. All speakers were invited to submit their papers for publication in the "Forum Archaeologiae" and about one third did so, which I am very grateful for.
This is also the place to thank all colleagues who have made this success possible: all the participants, my co-organizer Magnus Bernhardsson, professor at the University of Iceland and the Williams College, Claire Smith, the past-president of WAC, and all her colleagues from the Executive Committee, Karl von Habsburg-Lothringen, the president of the "Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield", and all his colleagues from the board, Leylya Strobl, director of the Austrian Roerich Society, and all the Roerich delegates from around the world, Norbert Fürstenhofer, president of the Austrian Society for the Protection of Cultural Property, and his executive board, our host Michael Pfeifer, the General Secretary of the "Foreign Policy and United Nations Association of Austria", and his team of students, the representatives of the Austrian Ministry of European and International Affairs, the staff of the Tech Gate Vienna in the UNO-City, the staff of Austropa Interconvention, and last but not least Elisabeth Trinkl, the editor of "Forum Archaeologiae," who aided in publishing portions of the proceedings of the Inter-Congress.

Mixtapes of The Month
Mixtapes of the Month
There was a time when mixtapes were loose collections of songs not good enough to make an album. Those days are over. In 2013, an age where artists recognize that the road to stardom is paved with free music, mixtapes have become full, original bodies of music in their own right.
But all that free music also means discovering something truly worth your time can be harder than finding a needle in a digital haystack. That's where our friends at DJBooth.net come in. Their "Mixtapes of the Month" series narrows down the previous 30 days (give or take) to three projects guaranteed to ensure the month's best work doesn't pass you by.
So without further ado, here are three new ones for your tape deck, desktop, or iPhone.
Yonas: Transition 2: Bright Lights, Big City
Each month we're flooded with a ridiculous amount of music. While those new projects are often tailored to a specific sonic taste, there are a few artists who always stand out by giving everyone on the musical taste spectrum something they can appreciate. Look no further than Bronx native, Yonas. With his intoxicating energy, high-octane beats, and positive, feel-good style, the 25-year-old has stolen the hearts of many. Now, with his new free album, Transition 2, he might just steal yours.
From the catchy yet substantive "I Thought I Told Y'all" to the R&B rooted, "Promises" Yonas gives you songs perfect for bumpin' with the windows down and playing on those low key nights in. Need a song to make your next summer throwdown memorable? Look no further than "Girls Of Summer". Yonas has so many styles, each of them equally as amazing, that no matter how you are, there is definitely something for you on Transition 2.
Slum Village: Evolution
As the San Antonio Spurs showed this month, no matter how "old" a crew is, if they have talent and experience, they can give the young guns a run for their money. Consider Slum Village hip-hop's San Antonio Spurs. The Detroit trio, made up of T3, Young RJ and Illa J, have been bringing authentic hip-hop heads real music since 1996 and with the recent release of their new studio album, Evolution, the veterans show they rock the mic like it's 1999.
Some artist's stick to doing one thing, but Slum Village does it all and does it all well. They make their own beats, write their own lyrics, and, of course, rap. They don't need any bells and whistles or gimmicks either, impressing with a minimalist style that lets their stellar flows hit even harder. They say you are only as good as the company you keep and if that's the case, SV is very, very good. The well-respected crew recruits a few guests who just so happen to be some of the undergrounds most acclaimed emcees. From veteran Big Pooh (of Little Brother) and the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff—both on "Rock Rock"—to Blu on "Let It Go", the guests spots are well chosen and show the kind of clout SV has. While the guests may be notable, Slum Village are the ones who take center stage. The title of the album might be Evolution, but Slum Village once again prove that quality music never changes.
Donnie Trumpet: Donnie Trumpet
Chicago is home to one of the most promising music scenes in the country. Sure, with artists like Kanye West and Common, the Windy City has always been a hotbed of talent, but lately a storm is a brewin', which just might bring on a downpour of unique, refreshing talent. While you might know of the Savemoney crew from their poster child, Chance The Rapper, they are not a one-horse town. While most of the crew raps, there is one member of the family that says more with a trumpet than some artists say with a mic: His name is Nico Segal, a.k.a Donnie Trumpet.
Donnie Trumpet, Nico's pen name (or trumpet name if you want to get specific), recently released his self-titled mixtape; coincidentally he did it on his 20th birthday. Yup, that's right, he is only 20 and showing a musical intelligence well beyond his years, lacing his cuts with soulful, jazz-inspired instrumentals that steal the spotlight from his guest emcees. Want to see him in action? Take a listen to "Zion" where Donnie's fluttering, goosebump-inducing instrumentals take the attention away from the Chance's reggae inspired flow and the ultra talented Vic Mensa (former front man of Savemoney's Kids These Days). Donnie Trumpet has a strong hip-hop foundation that will ensure the youngins get what they love, but the jazz woven style will open up a whole new world to younger audiences while making the elders in the family happy with its sophisticated roots.

Hull FC v Leeds Rhinos
Posted 02 September 2010 - 10:59 AM
Arguing with the forum trolls is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird will **** on the board and strut around like it won anyway

Will be interesting to see how Leeds go on in this game. They had a tough encounter last Saturday, picking up a few knocks, and with Peacock and Burgess missing again, and the possibility of others out, Hull's pack has a real chance to dominate the Leeds' forwards. Whether they will or not remains to be seen.
For a change, I think this will be close. Still, with my ever pessimistic head on, I'll go for Leeds by 4-6.

Our pack should have enough to get on top the Leeds pack and they need to get stuck in early, its going to be a cracker, the playoffs are starting early.
The option of playing Horne at full back when we are defending and switching when we attack to the halfs is an option Agar may look at.

There was no doubting the effort and at times they looked dangerous, but did not have enough about them to break down a solid defensive effort. Towards the end rather than upset they just looked tired. I'm sure going into the match they will be up for the challenge, but if things don't go their way from the start I would expect Hull to get ontop and not let go.
I don't think Hull are quite at the level of Warrington yet, given that they have struggled to get a fit side out this year and lack the match practise together, but they are not a million miles away and if there where a few more matches before the playoff's where they could get a good run out with a full side, I'd expect them to be able to challenge, Warrington/Saints/Wigan.

Can't wait for tomorrow, it's always a great atmosphere at the madhouse. I will be interested to see how many leeds fans make the trip tomorrow after we packed wembley with wire last week. The true fans will make the journey and our players will appreciate that after last week, as for the stayaways/bandwaggoners, there's no doubt their next game will be the final at old trafford.

It was a cracking turnout by your lot last time. I'll be surprised if you match that tomorrow.

The free entry played a big part in our cup turnout, if we can bring half that amount tomorrow i'll be pleased. A lot of people have got used to just turning up for semis and finals but the strength of the comp this season means we need fans following the team every week if we're gonna progress this time. The cup game was the best atmosphere at a match this season for my money and tomorrow won't be much different. I'll just have to remember to get the leeds mini kit and ronnie the rhino out of the car before we go to the ground, don't fancy walking back
