Skip to comments.Reid to McCain: Hey, Thanks for Killing that Gun Control Filibuster
Posted on 04/11/2013 6:34:13 PM PDT by Red Steel
The Democrats' love affair with Republican John McCain is never ending, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took things to a whole different level today on the Senate floor. Reid credited and thanked McCain for killing the filibuster threat against any new form of gun control legislation.
"John McCain is a leader."
Youtube - Sen Harry Reid Praises John McCain, Republicans Who Voted for Cloture
Right, John McCain is a leader for doing the politically correct thing of reaching accross the aisle to promote a piece of legislation that would have done nothing to prevent any mass shooting or mass shootings in the future. Congratulations.
As a reminder, the Senate voted 68-31 this morning to proceed with debate on new gun control legislation.
The Democratic leadership has had no better friend than McCain, ever since McCain used the 2008 R nomination to campaign for O, reassuring us at every turn that O was really an OK guy and would make a good President, etc etc etc.
McCain, the communist prisoner of war.
McCain, the enabler for Obama and the communist Democratic leadership.
(Stockholm Syndrome?)
Yeah, and thanks to the STUPID voters of WVa for getting fooled (easily!) by Manchin.
I think John McCain is a conflicted person.
He did good picking Palin. For that I thank him.
That was a long time ago now. I am no longer thanking him.
What a joke the GOP is..
John McCain is and has always been, an extra democrat. He basked in the glory of succeeding Barry Goldwater and he milked his service in Viet-Nam for all it's worth but he has been working with the democrats for decades. Then George Bush beat him in 2000 and he went nuts and has been determined to be a thorn in the side of conservatives since, and both the democrat and republican establishments have helped him do so. He relishes being a "power-broker." He is no leader.
Yes. Palin was (to me, an unexpected and ) interesting choice ... and it helped his ticket (but he blew it anyway, alas).
If he is conflicted, ok but alas his conflicts always seem to send him to the wrong side of important issues.
Time for the good war hero to retire, methinks.
The thing that bothers me more is that Palin continues to believe in this fool. It gives me the creeps.
He picked Palin for one reason. He was a "Leftist's Leftist" and the drubbing he would have received if he hadn't picked someone like her, was something he was unwilling to face.
Failing McCain actually being a traitor to our nation, he certainly is one to our cause.
and i loathe him for picking her... if only she had finished out one full term of her governorship, and if only she didn't run on a losing ticket--his ticket, she would have had time to prepare... she would have been more ready... ugh! i cannot stand that he chose her too soon... before her time...
I don't think that is a problem.
Palin is polite. McCain for whatever wrong he has done in life, pulled that young lady out of Alaska and ran with her for the Presidency.
Now that much Palin was grateful for, and owe(d) McCain for roundly.
I think that is rapidly wearing off. She will remain polite to McCain but he's wildly testing her reserves of polite, I believe.
John 'Wacko Bird' McCain is one of the few ultra left wing RINOs who enjoys frequent facetime on that ultimate Obamanation Journalism TV channel, MSNBC.
"John McCain is a leader."
Actually, John McCain is a failure. Sure, he put the boots to us every time he gets a chance, but he will go to his grave knowing that he wasn't good enough to realize his greatest dream. Even worse, the fool lost to the likes of Obama.
Well said.
Don't forget the STUPID folks at NRA/ILA, who gave Munchkin (and some other domestic enemies of the Constitution) an "A" rating and endorsement
The Republican primary voters remain their own worst enemy; all they know to do is to nominate candidates they have "heard of." And when they didn't with Lugar, look what happened!
I hope Sheriff Joe runs against McCain and kicks his butt.
Palin needs to do her rogue thing and speak out in disagreement with McCain on this issue. Her continuing support of this jerk isn't needed anymore.
A school my kids attended for a while in the '90s had a "leadership" award, which invariably went to the kid who was best at following orders. The Senate apparently has such an award for Meghan McCain's dad.
Yes, Stockholm Syndrome. Brainwashed by the commies.
No. He is and always has been one of them.
Damn shame that McCain got reelected again! The GOP deserves him!
Palin is NOT THE PROBLEM people, McCain is.
Now how do the rest of the Rhino's deal with what he has laid upon them? Chew on that instead of licking old wounds.
Sorry for my rant but right now, Palin doesn't matter, she had nothing to do with what we now face.

On the fourth day the tribe erected a small platform in the middle of the town. Members of the other tribes watched, fearful and wretched, but did not approach. Alex took a seat upon a fine chair placed on the stage and was joined by Nathan, who spoke at length about the future of Bonanza City. He heralded Alex as the coming of a religious leader, a warrior king, and a healer. He implored the other tribes to submit to his rule and join in the prosperity, or be relegated to a miserable existence on the fringes of the new society.
The other tribes were cautious at first. Who was this boy who sought to rule them? The riches of Alex's tribe proved too great to resist. By the end of the fourth day all of the unaffiliated pioneers had reluctantly sworn the Oath of Obeisance administered by Nathan, who had assumed the title of Pontifex Maximus.
Mike cracked under the pressure quickly and swore the oath to Alex.
Alex became Alex Caesar, emperor and ruler of the Alexian Dominate. As a show of benevolence he allowed joint rule by a triumvirate of magistrates hand-picked by Alex for their ineffectiveness. Taylor, Kelsey, and Leila would administer law and pass judgment when needed. Alex seemed to relegate his most trusted companion, Jared, to the seemingly demeaning position of Lictor, a mere bodyguard for the triumvirate. Of course, Alex had other tasks in mind for Jared in the future, and he needed him close to the triumvirate.
The final piece of the puzzle was Sophia, the leader of the Grun Tribe. This tribe of warseers and shamans was the most formidable Alex faced in his rise to the top. Alex and Sophia shared a mutual respect for one another and he bestowed upon her the title of Rex, commander of his Praetorians and adviser on all military issues. She readily accepted.
A New Way
"From each according to his ability, to each according to however I see fit."- Alexian Maxim
The Alexian Dominate encompassed all of Bonanza City and the surrounding landscape "as far as Alex can survey." Alex and his coterie of advisers and guards occupied the upper strata of the new society, creating a ruling class that received nearly unlimited access to the goods and services of Bonanza City. Favored citizens of the empire were given position in the merchant class, they operated Bonanza City's businesses and ensured all commerce was beneficial to the empire.
Sophia Rex remains ever vigilant.
Average citizens became the service animals. These were the cooks, cleaners and launderers who gave the empire a relative level of comfort, at least for those at the top. Those at the bottom, the laborers, toiled at an endless series of public works. Aqueducts were erected to supply the houses of the ruling class with fresh water. Sewers were dug to keep the streets of Bonanza City clean.
These poor souls reaped few rewards for their labors. Barely better than slaves, they were paid virtually nothing and slept on straw mattresses seething with lice in a filthy dormitory on the outskirts of town. It was here that the first cracks in Alex's empire would begin to show.
It's just a little confusing, is all.
The good news is the republican convention is over. The bad news is if I can escape this police car how do I anull a marriage??
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further
There is literally nothing sexier than eye contact.

Turkey is a poor third world state and is no match for Greece
Posted in the Turkey Forum
Ottawa, Canada
#1 Jul 17, 2008
Turks need to understand that they are a poor , backward, third world country and are no match for Greece.
Every time I hear how Turks here in Canada , by some reason want to compare their country to Greece.
I can only laugh when I hear that. Greece is a developed first world country comparible to nations such as Italy and Germany. Every year thousands poor Turkish immigrants run from their country to European countries(some come to Greece). Here they get a dirty jobs, and payed really low money. But even that is better than live in Turkey.
Soon Constatinople would go back to Greece. You know how? We dont need even come to liberate it by military force. Turks of Constantinoples themselves would prefer to be part of Greece and part of European Union than live in backward, third world, corrupt, Turkey.
There are going to be many changes
#2 Jul 17, 2008
i thought republic of azerbijan were more poor than turk, oh well.
Since: Jul 08
#4 Jul 17, 2008
And thats why Greece is afraid of Turkiye?
We all above the Greece either on army compare or the civilization...
Our roots have more historical base cultural treasure than you Greeks have
And the army...TSK (Turk Silahli Kuvvetleri) says it will take less than 10 hours to replace the flag in Athens...
You got many reasons to be afraid of us and to hate...
Istanbul, Turkey

RAMANOS, I've had enough of your sarcastic and racilist comments.You must make your mind.But I want to say something you RAMANOS
Why do you live in Canada? Why do you get back to your civiziled and modern country?
You told that "Soon Constatinople would go back to Greece" wake up my friend !!! You are late to work.
There is no doubt about it , Greece had alrealdy been corrupted and used as a PUPPET and MENDICANT for many years during the World Wars I-II by Europan Countries.You know this very well.

I live in Canada because I have been born here.
When I am telling Constantinople would go back to Greece, I am giving you reosonable and logical explanation for this, unlike your Turkish friend Canis Lupus.
Turks of Constantinople themselves would prefer to be part of first world greece and EU, than live in third world, human-right abusing Turkey. Isn't that reosonable and logical?
Look on Cyprus, majority of Cypriot Turks of the illegal Republic of Northern Cyprus want to reunite with Cyprus. Because they want to live in a normal civilized country, and not mainland Turkish occupied illegal territory,

Yet, there is an algebraic question. Can 15 million Turks of Istanbul be part of Greece with 12 million people?? Or could it be the other way around??
#11 Jul 18, 2008
I am a Turk of "Constantinople" as you described it, and I do not want to be part of Greece or EU. And I know maybe 1000 Turks of "Constantinopole" from my family and friends, and I know of noone who would wanna be part of Greece.
Maybe your argument is not so logical. Maybe you should refer to some polls and check whether what you think is really the view of Turks of "Constantinopole"..
#12 Jul 18, 2008
It is a fact that Turkey has a smaller GDP per capita than Greece. Yet, Turkey is VERY far from being a poor country. It is classified as one of the upper-middle class countries economically. And more importantly, Turkey is growing very fast and closing the gap with Greece. While the growth rate in nominal GDP of Greece hardly fare 3%, Turkey on avergae grows by 6% annually.

Okey My friend I read your what you all wrote.
Since , why do you perefer to live in your own country instead of living in Canada ? I am waiting for an explanation.

#14 Jul 19, 2008
You live in Pitsburgh, your 1000 friends and relatives might live in Constantinople, own a grocery store or shish kebab restaurant, drive a Mercedes-Benz and think that life is wonderful. But what about those millions of poor Turks who can afford medicine or normal food, who by thousands leave Turkey every year to Europe. Greece has almost as high GDP per capita as Germany.
Also are you gonna deny that if you put a democratic referendum majority of Cypriot Turks would chose to reunite with Cyprus as a part of EU, and kick out mainland turkish military
I have born in Canada, and I am Canadian citizen not a citizen of Greece.
#15 Jul 19, 2008
Do not disrupt the conversation. My friends/relatives are hardly driving Merecedes. And that is hardly the case for everybody in Greece as well.
Yes, Greece has more GDP per capita than Turkey. Yet, still there are poor people in Greece as in Germany. Maybe less than Turkey, but my objection was against an effort to depict Turkey as a third World country (which is not true). Turkey is a developing country, classified as developed country by CIA Worldbook, and its economy is growing very fast, closing the gap with EU average.
I live in Pittsburgh but I will return to my home city, i.e. Istanbul, in a couple of years. I have some things that I have to complete before moving back.
There is a lot of prospects to make money for smart people in Turkey. That is also one reason Greek businessmen also are eager to take their share from Turkey's growing economy. Greeks bought a Turkish bank, Finansbank, for 2.7 billion dollars. Finansbank was hardly in top 10 in banking business in Turkey. I think you should think about why they paid such a high amount for this bank. Do you think they would do it if they did not see great prospects in Turkish market??
I don't know how TCs would decide about what you propose. There was a vote about Annan plan, and they voted for unification, yet it was declined by GCs, not them. But I am not from Cyprus, and I am not aware of the wishes of TRNC's citizens.

Turkey will reach Greece in developement and GDP per capita, just when Nicaragua will reach Unites States, and Nepal will reach Japan.
I dont see that hapenning even in not so near future.
The parts of Turkey are so backward and underdeveloped. I watched documentary about eastern turkey, I saw there a man who burned dried cow dump, to get warm in winter. That kinda backwardity in Europe could be seen...well maybe only in Albania.
#17 Jul 20, 2008
Well Mr Greek,
You like it or not, Turkey is developing very fast. I know it is a pain for your arschloch, but the numbers are speaking differently than what your heart wishes for.
I hope that Albania will experience a similar growth as Turkey and Greeks like you would keep suffering in pain and envy.
Toronto, Canada
#18 Jul 20, 2008
No my friend believe it or not I would like to see Albania and Turkey to be little more developed, then at least I wont see thousands of Albanian and Turkish(believe it or not), uneducated, barbaric, unhygienic criminal-minded immigrants coming to Greece, spreading and spreading poverty and crime in my beloved country.
#19 Jul 22, 2008
Romanos ur a dumbass and disgrace to the good greeks. Let me educate your hairy ass

Turkey ranked twenty-first worldwide in terms of industrial production output in 2005
Turkey's Vestel Electronics is the largest TV producer in Europe, accounting for a quarter of all TV sets manufactured and sold on the continent.[25] By January 2005, Vestel and its rival Turkish electronics and white goods brand BEKO accounted for more than half of all TV sets manufactured in Europe
Turkey also has a large and growing automotive industry, which produced 1,024,987 motor vehicles in 2006[28], ranking as the 6th largest automotive producer in Europe; behind Germany, france, italy and UK

In 2005, there were 24,124,501 visitors to the country, who contributed $18.2 billion to Turkey's revenues, with an average expenditure of $679 per tourist. In 2007, the number of visitors rose to 27,214,988, who contributed $18.5 billion to Turkey's revenues. Over the years, Turkey has emerged as a popular tourist destination for many Europeans, often competing with Greece, Italy and Spain.

Haha Imbarrassed much? what was that u didnt know and u were uneducated and u apologise for being a loser that just brought shame up on urself? And from now on you wil research before jumping into the subjects u have idea of? Thats cool, continue living like a moron! Will do our best to educate u
All the information are from here.

"I live in Canada because I have been born here."
You were born there becaues your family flee to canada for a better life... your nation might not be a third world, doesnt mean al the greeks are rich, greece has over 9% below poverty which causes unbalanced living standards in Greece....
"When I am telling Constantinople would go back to Greece, I am giving you reosonable and logical explanation for this
Turks of Constantinople themselves would prefer to be part of first world greece and EU, than live in third world, human-right abusing Turkey. Isn't that reosonable and logical?"
First of al Turkey isnt a third world country. Instead of debating with us search it on net, its not hard to go on google and type 3rd world countries. Sometimes you shuld leave your imaginary logics to the turth.. North Cypruses economy is boosting up so high to meet the other half of Cypruses economy. And unlike the greeks, turkish part of cyprus is fully dependant to Turkey as EU helps the greek part of cyprus. North cyprus occupies smaller land than Greeks which means they have less natural resources, how is that for a logic?????
Second of al u must of mistaken our human-rights with an arabic country. Turkey isnt a islamic nation its democratic. You shuld know the meaning as the word democracy was created by the greeks "democ (human) racy(rights). Which i admit god bless the greeks for that.
Woman have equal rights, Voilence is illegal and Turkey even has gay prades each year.... You are living in a fairy land, wake up??
"Look on Cyprus, majority of Cypriot Turks of the illegal Republic of Northern Cyprus want to reunite with Cyprus. Because they want to live in a normal civilized country, and not mainland Turkish occupied illegal territory."
No im a cypriot, and the reason we voted to reunite is cause we are over the war and we agree on peace.. Because we love the greeks and we wish there was never a Turko-Greek war. We arent brainwashed with the bad past, but more looking forward for brighter future.
I guess your family has brain washed you with wrong answers and poisoned past, why dont you try living in 2008? You'll get use to it im sure..

I cant get enough of imbarassing this idiot.
uneducated, barbaric, unhygienic criminal-minded immigrants coming to Greece, spreading and spreading poverty and crime in my beloved country.
There are more greeks in turkey than turks in greece.... and beloved country? Arent you a citizen of canada and not of greece? If you arent gona adapt to where you migrate why dont you get the f%ck out of canada? They dont want a greek cheer leader there, they want canadians not immigrants obsessed with their own country.. Im sure they told u that before... LOL
Istanbul, Turkey
#22 Jul 23, 2008
Quite lame, and only reveals the inferiority complex felt about the Turks and Turkey.
1. Turkey has never been in the block of III. World Countries during the Cold War.
2. Turkey has never been a colony of the Western Powers, so has never been subject to colonial plunder, cultural exploitations and genocides.
3. Turkey never experienced famine even though many I. World countries suffered from such problems over the last several centuries.
4. Turks were invited to Europe after the WWII due to shortage of skilled and unskilled labor, not as a consequence of some colonial relationship.
5. Turkey is not deemed as poor or backward by any international entity dealing with the issue. Turkey is the 15th largest economy in the world, and per capita in come in Turkey is higher than some of the EU members, such as Bulgaria and Romania.
6. Turkey is one of the top 20 industrial countries in the world, and its exports of manufactured goods amount more than USD 100 billion as of 2007.
7. Turkey is one of the top 10 tourist destinations of the world, and ranks over Greece in terms of number of visitors and income.
8. Turkey is the top 10 producer in various agricultural products including tomatoes, cherry, olive, hazelnut, wheat, and Turkey is one of the few countries in the world which is self sufficient in terms of food and water supplies.
9. I am resident of Istanbul, and ı think your suggestion about Istanbul being part of Greece is a funny joke. Why? Greece could be a part of Istanbul, not vice versa since Istanbul is bigger, richer and more populated than Greece.

So You Want to Go Deep Water Soloing?by Mike Robertson Jun/2007
This article has been read 69,573 times
I'll stick my neck out here: DWS came to be because it's the purest form of climbing. Let me clarify this: I mean climbing as in fingertips-on-rock, as in aesthetics of movement, as in unencumbered, as in FREE. You won't get the same feeling from dragging a full rack and two ropes up a classic trad pitch, and you won't find the same experience on a hard sport route, with a harness and rope always to hand.
DWS involves climbing on rock that has been developed in one of three ways. Here's the gen, and with examples:
Traditional cliffs. These includes venues such as Conner Cove in Dorset, and Berry Head in Devon. The routes at these venues were first developed as traditional routes; even the traverses were first climbed with ropes and gear! The routes then fell prey to the deep water soloists...
Sport cliffs. The most famous example of this is Dorset's Lulworth Cove, which was developed as a sport crag in the early nineties. It has since lost just about all of its 'roped attention'!
DWS cliffs. A look at the routes and the history of Cave Hole, down on the Dorset Isle of Portland, tells us that this superb area was mostly developed as a solo cliff, ie. just about all the routes here were first climbed without ropes. Pembroke's Barrel Zawn is another great example of this.
It won't cost a lot to get going with DWS! You'll need a selection of rock shoes (three pairs should be enough), a slightly larger selection of chalk bags (say half a dozen), and a short rope and a little gear to set up the occasional abseil or safety/exit rope. Add to this a few pairs of shorts and T-shirts - and a camera, of course.
There's slightly more to DWS than just jumping on a route. Here's a short list of the things you'll need to think about before you put your rock shoes on:
© Mike Robertson
Barrel Zawn, PembrokeOne of the best beginner's venues in the UK. Excellent short routes on perfect sandstone, and all above nicely-placed above good water.
© Mike Robertson
Lulworth Cove, DorsetA little tougher with the grades, but a stunning venue, with pockets galore. The traverses prove a little easier than the vertical routes.
© Mike Robertson
Devon/Berry HeadJust brilliant. Devon's long traverses include Magical Mystery Tour and Rainbow Bridge � two of the best sideways expeditions in the known world. Add to this the vertical routes, and you have utopia.
© Mike Robertson
Cave HoleDorset's more tidal crag, but none the worse for it. Time it well, and you'll find plenty of short and spicy routes on great limestone.
Mike Robertson is the author of the new Rockfax guidebook, Deep Water. Mike was one of the first climbers to ditch the rope and security of traditional protection and rely upon the safety-net of the sea. Areas covered in this guidebook include: Swanage, Lulworth, Portland, Devon, Cornwall, Pembroke, North Wales, Scotland, Portugal, Costa Blanca, Mallorca, Sardinia, Croatia, Thailand, Vietnam and Tasmania.
The routes in the guidebook are described in full and are attributed Sport Grades in conjunction with the now accepted S-grade that gives an indication of the climb's seriousness, with regard to height above the water, and tide considerations. The difficulty of the routes included spans all grades, ranging from dreamy grade 4s, 5s and 6s above the warm waters of Asia and the Mediterranean to many hard grade 7s and 8s, some above the less-tepid seas of Northern Europe and the Southern Ocean.
All areas are covered by colour photodiagrams and the book is enticingly illustrated with many stunning action photographs, the majority taken by Mike Robertson.
Mike has climbed worldwide and in Dorset for over 20 years. He is a professional outdoor photo-journalist.

UAB football team makes sure Tim Alexander is always part of the team
Tim Alexander is not a normal football player.
The tight end's career took a major detour on Oct. 28, 2006, when he was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident with a broken neck and spinal cord injury.
During the accident, Alexander, who was riding in the back of a friend's car at the time, says he was able to push a two-year-old out of the vehicle to safety before it went off what he described as a cliff.
His days as a player may have been over, but that does not mean Alexander could not be part of a team.
So, he ended up at UAB, where he goes to practice and helps motivate the players. He's a member of the team, and treated as such.
More on his story can be found here, but below are a couple of tweets that can only make you smile.

Monitorix 1.4.0 Speaks Plaintext
The free software monitoring software Monitorix is available in version 1.4.0. New among the features is a plaintext version.
The Monitorix open source program in its standard views provides graphs for numerous computer performance values such as CPU load, Ethernet traffic, network services and hard disk usage. The diagrams rendered through RRDTool can be viewed on the Web as HTML pages. The data is now also available as plaintext, which makes things easier for seeing-impaired users and automated analysis.
Developers also implemented a new alert capability for Monitorix that reports on the last 15 minutes of average CPU load. They also resolved a CGI scripting bug that affected how CPU graphs were represented.
Monitorix 1.4.0 is under GPLv2 licensing and available for download on the project homepage as source code and in numerous packages.
Thanks for the response...I took a look at Monitorix and compared it with SysUsage. I have to agree that they monitor about the same things. Monitorix appears to come with prettier report pages by default. I'd definitely take a look at it first.
SysUsage appears - at first glance - to include more time periods for the 20+ default items monitored. We did create static front-ends that drill down into the multitude of servers and merge the main items of concern for a single server before getting to the detailed Daily, Weekly, Monthly graphs for all the details.
Re: Any significant diff to SysUsage?I am not familiar with SysUsage. However, I have the impression that they monitor more or less the same parameters. Besides, they both use RRDTool. If you're happy with your current software, I see no reason to change.
Any significant diff to SysUsage?I've been happily using SysUsage http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysusage/ to simple performance
Is this tool comparable?

What Do You Do Once the Dream Comes True?
By Imperfect Spirituality on November 10, 2012
BlogHer Spotlight
You've dreamed about it all your life - finishing that book, creating that work of art, taking that trip, or whatever you've longed for. Then one day you wake up and you've realized the dream. Then what? What do you do now? This post explores that very question about what to do when everything looks the same, but it is all different.
When I wake up tomorrow morning and wander through the still-quiet (please, please still be quiet) house, in the plaid red flannel pajamas, with the tiny claw holes on the shoulder where the cat likes to drape – everything will look the same, but it will all be different.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Comparison: Arsenal's Mesut Ozil has better stats than Chelsea-bound Cesc Fabregas [Graphic]
- By Dov Rawson
- June 6, 2014
- Comments0
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has passed up on the opportunity to re-sign club legend Cesc Fabregas.
The Barcelona man is available for £30m but Chelsea look close to completing a deal for the 27 year old Spaniard.
Arsenal fans have questioned Wenger for not bidding for Fabregas, but a stats comparison from this season shows Mesut Ozil to be a much more dangerous player.
Both players had average seasons, by their high standards.

From Booklist
Migrating to a rainforest setting, the creators of "There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea" present another wacky take on this tune. After swallowing his first victim ("I don't know why he swallowed the frog. What a hog!"), the googly-eyed monkey downs three animated cocoa beans "to sweeten the frog," followed by a sequence of outlandish items and animals. Gray's digitally rendered illustrations alternately reveal the feasting monkey and the (remarkably) cheerful captives inside his stomach. Text and art deliver equal measures of over-the-top zaniness. --Publishers Weekly, February 2010

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Grammy Award-winning singer John Legend has checked himself out of the game. Over the holiday weekend the soulful crooner reportedly proposed to his girlfriend while on vacation.
"John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives," Legend's rep told People magazine.
Legend and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Teigen began dating in 2007.
No further details on the engagement are available. Although the G.O.O.D. Music artist has yet to make a formal public statement on the upcoming nuptials, he's expected to make his first public appearance as an engaged man next week in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, when he's scheduled to play The Pearl at the Palms.
The 32-year-old singer will also celebrate his birthday Wednesday, Dec. 28.

Product Description
Product Description
Barenaked Ladies follow the certified-Gold success of Rock Spectacle with their hotly anticipated new studio album - Stunt. Featuring a dozen of the greatest, most tuneful, most sharply observed songs they've ever written, Barenaked Ladies have created a stunning album that ranges from the ferociously bouncy to the flat-out heartbreaking. Now that Canada's finest musical exports have finally smashed into the American marketplace (with nearly 1.5 million combined sales), Stunt should prove to be their biggest success yet. Certified at 4 million units by the RIAA. (9/99).
The Ladies have done more than lie in bed the way Brian Wilson did; they've spent some quality sandbox time mastering the intricacies of catchy pop records, hooks and all. Sounding at times like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young after a week in the Caribbean, the Ladies mix a dash of rap with a pop backbeat on "One Week," while "It's All Been Done" is classic 1960s Top 40, right down to the "woo-hoo-hoo" backing vocals. The lyrics are the hidden joy on this record, with lines like "I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol" and the male voice singing about tying his pantyhose around his neck. The songs are well crafted and the production flushes out the Ladies' hidden musical talents, resulting in their best effort since Gordon. --Katie Sigler

I was pleasantly surprised when I popped the CD into my player. What a nice montage of musical styles. Not only does this CD cover a lot of musical ground, but the proficiency of the playing and singing is equally enjoyable. And then there's the lyrics... simple on the surface, but actually deep and meaningful in places. (Of course "One Week" doesn't fall into this category, but it's a heckuva lot of fun nonetheless) One example of the better lyrics is "Light In My Room". It has an almost sarcastic naiveté to it, even though the average person might simply and easily dismiss it as nothing more than oddball drivel. And then there's "When You Dream". For anyone who's ever stared at their little baby boy or girl sleeping, this song is almost poignant. There's even a reference to the late, great, Del Shannon!
From a creative standpoint, the quality and quantity of this CD reminded me a lot of Lenny Kravitz; another artist who's not afraid to explore all kinds of musical territory.
For someone in his or her 40's, CDs like Stunt are not only enjoyable to listen to, they're comforting in the sense that they make you realize that there's still good music out there, played on real instruments by real musicians, with lyrics that actually are lyrics; not adrenaline-laden screaming or repetitive common denominator rap rhyming.
If you're in the same age group as me, go get this CD. You won't regret it.
One Week: Great song. This song is the reason I wanted this album. Now that I have listened to all of the tracks this one only seems mediocre.
It's All Been Done: My Third Favorite song here and it never seems to get old and I could listen to it forever.
Light up my Room: A rather slow song, but I still like it. This song you have to let grow on you because it took me a little while to get used to it and actually like it.
I'll be that Girl: Good but not great this song is worth listening only a couple of times before it gets really annoying annd on your nerves
Leave: This song is better than the one before but not by much. A song like this would sound much better at the end of the album but it is a good song none the less.
Alcohol: My favorite song on this album with its eclectic sound, funny vocals, Strange guitar riffs, and the great piano at the very end. Eventhough it took me half a year to like this song it is now one of my favorites of all time.
Call and Answer: My second favorite song. Who cares if it is rather slow? This song is not really my style but I just can't seem to stop liking it. My most favorite part is at the very end when there is that great piano solo. It wouldn't hurt to also take a look at the lyrics.
In the Car: This song is to slow for my style and I really hate the lyrics and that is all I have to say about it.
Never is Enough: This song is pretty good if you know the probems of trying to keep a job.Read more ›

Regrets: The Dave Matthews Band
My biggest musical regret? Motley Crue. I was 14 when Shout at the Devil came out. I bought it and looped it in the cassette player of my '68 VW Bug, over and over, until a much cooler friend of mine noted how ridiculous Motley Crue was, and how ridiculous I was being for letting the band into my personal music collection. Twenty-five years later, I'm still ashamed.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/424,290 filed Apr. 25, 2003 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to timekeeping and, more particularly, to the formation of prompts to facilitate the setting or resetting of digital time displays which are suitable for general purpose timekeeping, as most individuals customarily use to coordinate their daily activities with desired or required time schedules.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Balanced, quadribalanced and enhanced quadribalanced digital time displays are disclosed in the prior art. Examples of patents which describe such displays include U.S. Pat. No. 4,627,737, U.S. Pat. No. 4,271,497 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,215,736 B1, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. These displays have a common characteristic, which is that at the conclusion of the first half of each hour, the time information transitions from elapsed time to remaining time.
More specifically, during the first half hour, the current hour in these displays is flanked on its right side by incrementing elapsed minutes in a single or dual up/down position. Thereafter, the hour value increases by one to display the oncoming next hour, minutes switch to a single or dual down/up position flanking the left side of that hour and begin counting down the remaining 30 minutes before that hour commences. Seconds can also be included to count 59 seconds up during each elapsed minute and 59 seconds down during each remaining minute.
3. Recognition of Problems in the Prior Art
In the above-described prior art displays, only the digital hour and seconds remain in stationary positions, while digital minutes move in successive right to left positions flanking the centrally displayed hours, simulating rotary-like motions from hour to hour.
Because such displays occupy relatively larger areas of the overall display field than conventional digital displays, there is a need to determine how such field should be modified when switching from a real time mode to a setting mode for setting or resetting real or alarm times and calendar values. Another consideration is whether or how to include cues or prompts in the displays in order to provide differentiation between the real time displays and the displays provided for setting or resetting either a real or an alarm time.
Such cues or prompts should have singular characteristics which not only differentiate between real time and the setting or resetting of real or alarm times, but also between the setting of either of such time values and the setting of calendar values, such as day names and the dates of a current month, day or year.
Ideally, through the aid of effective prompts, the viewer should immediately become aware of which values are available for setting or resetting with utmost clarity and comprehension, so that there is little or no uncertainty or confusion, thereby minimizing or avoiding the risk of error or failure.
Co-pending application Ser. No. 10/356,889, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, describes prompts for symbolizing displays which are suitable for setting real and alarm times and certain calendar values. The present invention provides more effective visual prompts, each having singular characteristics such that a viewer is immediately informed that a setting or resetting mode has been activated for the setting or resetting of real time and alarm time values, and calendar values, in a balanced type of digital time display. Such prompts are more representative, and therefore better recognizable and comprehensible, of the particular function that is available for setting than the ones in the '889 application. Also, the prompts of this invention fill more of the display fields and exhibit parallel prompt symmetries when setting the calendar values of months, days and years. Therefore, the prompts of the present invention facilitate the setting or resetting of digital time and calendar sequences with maximum clarity and certainty, so that the viewer is assured of being able to comprehend what is under way during any one of such setting or resetting procedures.
This is especially useful for the balanced, quadribalanced and enhanced quadribalanced displays of the prior art because those displays normally leave one-half or three quarters of the display areas reserved for digital minutes without time information during the course of each hour. This condition is substantially contrasted by the enhanced prompts of the present invention which, during the improved setting modes, not only fill substantially the entire display area, but also generate appearances which are immediately distinguishable from the usual real time appearances. Such visual differentiation between the real time displays and the setting or resetting time displays further facilitates performing the latter without confusion or error.
An important advantage of these features is that both the prompted real time and alarm time setting modes can be, and preferably are, displayed in terms of elapsed minutes and seconds past a current hour, regardless of the specific point in time at which one or the other of these modes is accessed during the course of an hour. Therefore, when the real time setting mode is activated during the second half of an hour, the resulting automatic transition from remaining minutes and seconds before a next hour to the equivalent elapsed minutes and seconds past a current hour facilitates accessing exact time announcements available from telephone, television or radio, etc., which are usually also given in elapsed time, thus simplifying synchronization and setting or resetting the display to the announced time. Accordingly, the potentially difficult mental conversion of a remaining time display to an equivalent elapsed time announcement during a second half hour setting or resetting procedure is avoided and eliminated by the present invention.
Similar advantages are achieved by the prompted alarm time setting mode provided by the invention. By forming this mode in a similar elapsed time format and content as the real time setting mode, setting or resetting the minutes and hour of a desired alarm time during the second half hour, by mental conversion of such desired alarm time to equivalent remaining time, is also avoided. In addition, the similarity of the alarm setting mode to the real time setting mode and the distinct difference in appearance of such modes from a balanced or quadribalanced type real time display provides coordination and consistency of the setting functions, with differentiation from the real time display, thus enhancing a viewer's complete comprehension of these respective time modes.
Other features and details of the invention will be understood from the ensuing specific description read in connection with the drawings.
As earlier noted, in the previously cited balanced and quadribalanced digital time displays, minute digits flank alternate sides of centrally positioned hour displays, first on the right during the first half hour and thereafter on the left during the second half hour. The same is true for similar displays described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,584,041 B1, entitled Unidirectional Segmented Digital Time Displays, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Therefore, half or more of these displays is not occupied by real time minutes during the course of each hour.
In order to distinguish these appearances, whenever it is desired to set or reset real or alarm time values or calendar values presented by such displays, the display is preferably selectively activated to generate a visually different display. Referring initially to
In real time, the previously cited prior art balanced displays would show corresponding equivalent remaining time values, with the left side of the central hour display occupied by 27 minutes before the next hour 10, and the right side of the hour empty. In the prior art quadribalanced and enhanced quadribalanced time displays, as well as the unidirectional segmented displays, there also would be no minutes on the right side of the hour, and the remaining or elapsed minutes would appear in a relatively lower position on the left side of that hour.
Thus, the display of
That crown control is programmed to next access calendar values in the sequence of day name and thereafter month, day and year dates.
As taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,807,130 B2, a capital letter T is formed on the left side of the centrally positioned hour digit whenever a setting mode is activated for setting or resetting the current time to real time. The letter T would be formed by activation of the elements 7I and 8KIH. That earlier application also reflects the advantage of creating a setting mode that occupies substantially the entire display field, including the large prompt T for symbolizing the fact that it is available for setting or resetting a real time value. Therefore, that disclosure can be combined with the enhanced prompts described in this application to achieve a comprehensive setting or resetting protocol that can be programmed into balanced, quadribalanced, enhanced quadribalanced or unidirectional segmented wristwatches or other timepieces for enabling the easy setting or resetting of all time and calendar functions in such products.
A preferred technique for initiating and sequencing the use of the calendar prompts dA, M, D and Y, flanking the left side of the hour display in
Such sequencing aids the viewer by providing a brief prelude and introduction, in advance, of the appearance of each specific calendar function that will become available for adjustment of its value. Therefore, in that interval, the viewer will know and can prepare to think of what value needs to be addressed and set or reset, thus avoiding any perceived pressure or demand that such value adjustments must be commenced immediately were the prompts and associated data to be activated simultaneously.
The invention has now been described in terms of the preferred embodiments depicted in
The present invention may be practiced with various forms of digital display elements, e.g., LCD, LED, fluorescent, incandescent, gaseous glow or plasma discharges, and stick-shaped or dot matrix elements that can be selectively activated, electronically or electrically, to display the time values and sequences described above.
In conclusion, the present invention has been described in terms of its general principles and specific embodiments. Many variations of such disclosure will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it should be understood that the ensuing claims are intended to cover all changes and modifications of the specific illustrative embodiments which fall within the literal scope of the claims and all equivalents thereof.

Jabra Revo Wireless and Vox headphones ask to be 'used and abused'
Jabra has announced the latest addition to its headphone range with the launch of the Jabra Revo Wireless, Jabra Revo and Jabra Vox.
Jabra is pushing the tough nature of its headphones, with the use of an aluminium frame, steel hinges and shatterproof headbands on the Jabra Revo headphones.
"Headphones are subjected to a lot of wear and tear, so consumers are demanding that they are designed to withstand the rigours of regular use," said Anne Raaen Rasmussen, senior vice-president, Mobile Division at Jabra.
The new Jabra headphones have been designed to cater for those looking for "massive, high-definition sound clarity", with Jabra adding Dolby Digital Plus technology, together with the Jabra Sound App for Android or iPhone users to get the best results.
The Jabra Revo is a conventional pair of on-ear corded headphones, also featuring a mic so you can make calls as well as enjoy your music. The corded features an in-line controller. The Jabra Revo will cost £159.99.
If you'd rather cut that cord, then the Revo Wireless are what you're after. Essentially the same headphones as the Revo, but featuring a "turntable" touch control so you can still make and receive calls or skip music tracks. The Jabra Revo Wireless will cost £199.
Finally, Jabra has announced the Jabra Vox, a set of in-ear headphones. Again, they are designed to be durable, with reinforced cables and also give you the benefit of Dolby Digitial Plus. The Jabra Vox will cost £79.99.
