PriceGong is presented as a browser plug-in, which can be used to compare the prices of various goods. According to its publisher: 'When you are shopping online, PriceGong automatically recognizes which product you are looking for and will suggest a variety of attractive, alternative offers for this product. PriceGong also offers you coupons that can help you save even more money'. However, many users call this program as adware, which keeps displaying its annoying advertisements announcing about various offers online. First thing, which we don't like about this program, is that it can be installed either manually or without any permission asked.

HOW CAN I GET PriceGong on my computer?
PriceGong can be downloaded from its official website. However, it can also be downloaded together with other programs, such as freeware and shareware, as a component.

Additionally, PriceGong starts showing its unstoppable advertisements every time you open the browser. It seems that it gets on every browser it finds installed on your PC, including Safari and Google Chrome. If you don't like this, you should get rid of PriceGong.

I need someone to set up a site as an interactive web page--just get the site set up and I can slowly learn how to run it. I have the domain name http://www.kosmosover50singles.com/. I will pay a moderate fee for the use of someone's knowledge and expertise. The current version of "WordPress" should be updated to the newest this weekend.
This started as merely a posting of pics for the group--now they want a decent web site for their money.
1. First they want to be able to post an application blank for membership on the site, allow the prospective member to complete the form and send it to the member ship committee.
2. They want search engine searches to rank it in the top 10--currently a Google search finds it on page 9.
If anyone can help me get this off the ground I will be ever so appreciative. R. Taylor

First funerals held for Sandy Hook victims
POSTED: 7:53 AM Dec 17 2012 UPDATED: 4:07 PM Dec 17 2012
The bodies of two young boys killed in last week's school shootings are being taken to their resting places.
The first funerals were held Monday for 6-year-old Jack Pinto and Noah Pozner. Jack was a big New York Giants fan, and Noah liked to figure out how things worked mechanically.
Family, friends and townspeople streamed out of two funeral homes after the services.
In front of Noah's, well-wishers placed two teddy bears, white flowers and a single red rose at the base of a maple tree.
At Jack's service, hymns rang out from inside.

With the House and Senate now shuttered until September, anyone seeking a quick fix of foolishness this week will have to look beyond the Beltway. Ames, Iowa would be an ideal place to start.
On Saturday, Ames hosts the second annual "FAMiLY LEADERSHIP SUMMIT," where you'll be able to hear a variety of speakers each "address a 'singular' and 'major' threat to America and to America's families, along with the opportunity for leadership solutions to these threats," and maybe even find out why "The FAMilY LEADER" organization exempted the "i" from their all-caps name. For a mere $49, you can savor speakers such as washed-up actor Stephen Baldwin, washed-up politican Rick Santorum, and tufted pink windbag Donald J. Trump, and your boxed lunch is included. I have no inside info, but I'm guessing that the "singular" and "major" threats to America will include minorities, gay people, SNAP recipients, Girl Scouts and Democrats.
If that shindig seems insufficiently compelling, you might consider Tuesday's fundraiser for New Hampshire Republicans in Wolfeboro, headlined by someone named Mitt Romney, who apparently has a summer home there. It seems not all fools and their money are soon parted; as of this writing, there are still $1,500 VIP tix available.
Deputy Secretary of State William Burns has just wrapped up another Cairo trip after discussions with various Egyptian politicians and interest groups, and conjoined twits Lindsey Graham and John McCain are likely to head there this week at the behest of the Obama Administration. If their efforts falter, I hope the President sees fit to send reinforcements, like maybe the other 44 members of the Senate Republican Conference. Continue reading Stormy Monday, 8/5/13
ONE: "Please run for president. Please run for president."
They nominated an entitled, anti-charismatic corporate raider whose positions change with the tides and whose religion is considered by much of the party's base to be a cult, and they still can't seem to shake off their amazement that they failed to regain the White House. Nevertheless, Republicans are already desperately rummaging around for their next presidential contender, and they might want to be careful what they wish for.
Donald Trump has apparently spent about a million bucks on "electoral research" in advance of a possible 2016 run. Although he routinely overstates his net worth, this kind of money is no big deal to Trump, and of course we've all seen this reality show before, when he hinted and flirted and teased about thwarting a second Obama term before finally endorsing Romney, so perhaps there's nothing to this beyond typical Trumpian hot air. Or maybe this is how he gets revenge for being dumped from the program at the Republican National Convention. Or maybe he's serious, in which case it'll be a groove watching the party scramble to cut him off at the knees.
With no apparent awareness of the irony, Trump recently told a gathering of the Oakland County Republicans in Michigan:
TWO: Ventura Biway
But what if an even more egregiously self-aggrandizing blowhard came along instead? Former Minnesota Governor and inveterate clod Jesse Ventura was in Saint Paul last Friday to honor a retiring State Patrol sergeant, and mused about an independent run in 2016:
Or at least their first opportunity since 2012, when the last spate of deluded independents threw their hats in the ring to no avail. If a Ventura candidacy might worry The Donald at all, the Star Tribune has some reassuring words for him:
And if it ever does, Candidate Trump could just tap Gary Busey for his running mate, and the balance of kitschy weirdness would be instantly restored.
THREE: Yawn Top of the World
As for that entitled, anti-charismatic corporate raider I mentioned above, he and his arrogant, peevish, spectacularly insincere spouse are back in the news, because… well, frankly, I have no idea why. Perhaps they're already tired of playing with their car elevator.
Mitt is currently hosting a two-day something-or-other in Park City, Utah, attended by Chris Christie and Paul Ryan, among others. Ann, meanwhile, recently talked to CBS, vaguely, about possible '16 nominees:
Mitt had his own interview with the Wall Street Journal, and talked, vaguely, about his personal life, which sounds a little like a Habitrail: Continue reading Take Five (Party Down edition)
This week marked the tenth anniversary of the illegal invasion of Iraq, illegal as in fraudulently undertaken, thereby invalidating any supposed sanction previously conferred either by Congress or the United Nations, and also incomprehensibly immoral, like all crimes against humanity.
There should be no surcease, ever, of denunciation of the criminal horror unleashed on Iraq by the Bush administration and those who helped enable it, the latter largely for shamefully political reasons. In a nation with such a bounteous supply of prisons, there's plenty of room to house the guilty for the rest of their lamentably natural lives, and their accomplices for some fraction thereof.
I have no hope that either will ever happen.
This week, fifteen months after the last combat troops were withdrawn from Iraq, the anniversary was marked in George Bush's "beacon of democracy in the Middle East" with a wave of lethal violence, tersely quantified by the New York Times:
This week, Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies released the results of a study conducted by its Cost of War Project. The study found:
Yes, effecting mass death, destruction and chaos is more efficient than ever, yet it still doesn't come cheap. Of course, that's not how the Bush junta made its sales pitch. In the run-up to The Decider's trigger finger getting intolerably itchy, Mitch Daniels, his OMB director, nudged up the saturation on the administration's already over-saturated blue skies, to obscure what it would really cost in borrowed cash to dust off Saddam Hussein as one would a garden pest and install a compliant regime straight out of whatever remained of Dick Cheney's wet dreams:
And then he added a scabrous little grace note:
The viciously, deliberately dishonest math behind all this has long been known, although it has constantly been revised upwards. Contrasts were drawn between prediction and reality almost from the outset, despite the best efforts of White House propagandists, supine but incessantly talkative members of Congress, and the jitterbugging marionettes of the mainstream media. The immense gap between the predicted and actual numbers probably still provokes gales of rheumy cackling whenever the old gang gathers around the fireplace for a snifter of brandy or human blood in whatever dank privy the original PNAC signatories still hold their unholy soirées.
TWO: With Fiends Like These…
Over and above the rancor they directed at Democrats, progressives and various other favorite scapegoats for the deleterious effects of their own wretched ideas, participants at CPAC 's 40th anniversary shindig last week were also remarkably splenetic toward each other.
Rick Perry brought a McCain/Romney dartboard:
Rand Paul was even more bluntly insolent to his elders:
Donald Trump's post-speech press conference featured another of the oafish magnate's swipes at Karl Rove:
Louie Gohmert discharged a lot of indiscriminate buckshot, some of which winged the Nixon administration:
Sarah Palin continued her lupercalian vendetta against sort-of-Republican Mike Bloomberg:
Brent Bozell dragged in a whole sack of grudges. Against, for example, Paul Ryan:
Against Haley Barbour:
Against the House leadership:
With all the heated infighting, it's a good thing attendees could buy a Marco Rubio water bottle in the exhibit hall.
THREE: Minority Report I
Desperate to garner votes from minority groups they mostly would prefer not to have anything to do with, Republicans still don't seem to understand the difference between genuine outreach and simple smash-and-grab.
Take the CPAC breakout session called "Trump The Race Card: Are You Sick And Tired Of Being Called A Racist When You Know You're Not One?" chaired by K. Carl Smith, an African-American conservative. What could go wrong? Lots: Continue reading Take Five (Really, Really, Really Fuzzy Math edition)
The Conservative Political Action Conference turns 40 this year, but don't expect maturity from a gathering where the speakers include Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Artur Davis, Dick Morris, Wayne LaPierre, Rick Perry, Allen West and Donald Trump.
The coveted keynote slot will provide a generous 33 minutes for Cruz to prevaricate, obfuscate, fabricate, fulminate and regurgitate. Organizers have allotted the second and third longest slots to Palin and Trump, respectively, though why Palin needs 16 minutes and Trump 14 to recite "me, me, glorious me" is a mystery only slightly less mysterious than either of them being invited to begin with. I suppose The Donald and The Sarah deserve grudging credit for realizing that Fitzgerald's dictum about American lives having no second acts is irrelevant now that first acts can simply be prolonged indefinitely.
Over and above her CPAC gig, Palin manages to keep busy just being Palin. She devoted at least part of Monday to crafting a tweet celebrating the overturning of New York City's ban on sodas larger than 16 ounces:
Yes, because nothing says "liberty" like 17 ounces of carbonated water, HFCS, artificial color, artificial flavors and caffeine. But it's not all freewheeling Twittery for Palin; her latest higher calling is nothing less than saving Christmas:
Wow! Only 48 years after A Charlie Brown Christmas definitively addressed the very same issues. And Palin's so versatile that she even wrote the first review of the not-yet-written book:
That's what cutting edge is all about, Charlie Brown. You betcha. As for Trump, he's taking his cues from none other than Charlie Brown doppelganger Newt Gingrich, who last Friday tweeted his brainstorm to save White House tours recently suspended under sequestration:
This was followed two minutes later by:
Yeah, damn that obsma anyway! Two minutes later, Gingrich found some more meat on that bone:
Trump was nonplussed about all this until he joined Fox and Friends by phone on Monday:
Gingrich is also speaking at CPAC, so he and Trump have a readymade opportunity to discuss the idea in detail, assuming the Gaylord National Hotel has a room large enough to accommodate both their egos simultaneously.
TWO: In Through the Out Door
CPAC drew criticism recently for barring GOProud, an action that prompted the Log Cabin Republicans to withdraw from the event in solidarity. The groups have now gained some exceptionally unsavory company: notorious Islamophobe Pamela Geller.
Geller devoted a recent appearance with Christian radio host Janet Mefferd to throwing a tantrum about the CPAC snub:
Also joining GOProud and the Log Cabin Republicans, albeit voluntarily, is MSNBC's resident purveyor of flapdoodle, SE Cupp. She recently tendered her regrets, publicly:
Cupp's calmly reasoned position prompted a fretful rant from Mr. Unreason himself, Joseph Farah. Sensing the black helicopters of tolerance hovering over his pinched and pusillanimous reality, WND's founding father lamented:
Farah went on to shake a querulous finger at Meg Whitman, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Richard Hanna, Stephen Hadley, Carlos Gutierrez, James Comey, David Stockman and Deborah Pryce, noted conservatives all. Or not:
Ah. Good to know, I guess. Farah finished with a flourish of hyperbole worthy of a pilled-up teenager posting on a message board at 4:00 AM:
Keep it unreal, Joe.
THREE: Hot Air Apparent
CPAC 2013 will also feature John Ellis "Jeb" Bush, who recently stuck his head up out of the ground to find out whether he would see Mitt Romney's shadow. Bush is ostensibly in the public eye these days because he's hawking a new book, Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution, but of course what he's really hawking is the idea that the GOP will be desperate enough to nominate him in 2016. To that end, Bush has been appearing on various talk shows, casually trying to convince conservatives of his viability with a string of inane observations. Continue reading Take Five (CPAC Up Your Troubles edition)
ONE: Alle Menschen werden Brüder…
Suffused with bipartisan good vibes, Republicans greeted Barack Obama's re-election with smiles and outstretched hands… firmly withheld. Grapes actually don't get any sourer than the ones Republicans have been angrily stomping into whine – uh, wine, since the evening of November 6. The 2012 Grand Old Vintage will long be remembered for its pronounced acidity, robust historical revisionism and almost maddeningly insistent notes of cattle droppings.
The sheer volume (in both senses of the word) of Republican angst, anger and anxiety in the wake of the election has been a challenge to keep up with, but out of many dozens of conservative tantrums I've read and bookmarked over the past few weeks, here are some examples I thought worth highlighting.
It was no surprise that one of the first querulous voices raised was that of tufted pink windbag Donald J. Trump. Trump took to Twitter on election night and, as he is wont to do, made an utter jackass of himself:
Hinge-less commentary of a different sort was served up by William Murray, chair of the Religious Freedom Coalition. Murray is convinced that the President won a second term because he promised to put a chicken, or something, in every pot:
No question, Mr. Murray. Now that you mention it, I distinctly remember filling out my absentee ballot for Barack Obama and drooling at the idea that I'd just voted for a guy of mixed race. Take that, whitey!
Others, such as Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips, quelled their disappointment by adopting an activist approach. Phillips had the bright idea to advocate for a de facto Electoral College coup:
Except, of course, that Phillips is full of crap, as WorldNutDaily itself tersely acknowledged a day later:
Wow! Barack Obama hasn't even begun his second term yet and somebody over at WND honest-to-God actually bothered to read at least part of one amendment to the Constitution. And yet there are still some who refuse to admit that this presidency is transformational.
Michael Reagan was equally stroppy about the election results, but took a road less traveled in his desperate search for a scapegoat:
Nobody with any credibility has ever accused Michael Reagan of being smart, but it's a little stunning that even as witless an observer of current events as Reagan could be unaware of how George W. Bush was swept under the rug by the Republican Party long before Barack Obama was sworn into office. Bully sticks, indeed.
For some fretful scapegoat hunters, however, there's no place like home:
But there's taking it hard and then there's taking it really hard, as the late Henry Hamilton did:
Super Mario doppelganger and chair of the Maine Republican Party, Charlie Webster, didn't kill himself, unfortunately. Instead, he went on TV and angrily blamed the President's garnering of the state's four electoral votes on – gasp! – suspicious black people:
Within 48 hours, Webster was on the phone to Portland's WSCH again, eager to clarify his remarks ("clarify" being the term conservatives like to use to describe the pathetic flailing around they do after people take offense at the objectionable things they say):
That same day, Webster cranked up the cringe-worthy in an interview with Talking Points Memo:
As it happens, however, Webster won't be nipping any butts:
Webster's term as chair ended on December 1. Where the Maine Republican Party will find someone with feet big enough to fill his clown shoes is anyone's guess.
But Charlie Webster's asshattery hardly begins to illustrate the virulence of the re-election variant of Obama Derangement Syndrome. Within days of the election, maniacs in Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, New York, New Jersey, Alabama, Colorado, Oregon, Georgia, Montana, Florida, Mississippi, North Dakota, North Carolina and Indiana had filed petitions at We the People to have their states secede from the Union. Petitions for all 50 states have since been posted, which begs the question of what these states – were they ever to successfully sever their ties with the nation – would collectively call themselves. The Disunited States of America? The Spoilsport States of America? We're with Stupid?
The Oregon petition, created by a fellow named Kristopher W. Tillamook, is not only a splendid example of the "thought processes" of the secessionistas, but a solid contender for this year's most egregious misuse of apostrophes in pointless furtherance of a lost cause:
As of this writing, 14,991 people, untroubled by the petition's linguistic high crimes and misdemeanors, have signed it. Continue reading Take Five (Dave Brubeck memorial edition)
With a shudder, it occurred to me the other day that I've been writing about Willard Mitt Romney, off and on, for nineteen months. There are very few things I dream of spending nineteen months writing about, and he sure as hell isn't one of them. Nevertheless, with Romney down to his final hours of pretending he can become President of the United States of America, the travail continues.
First, though, let me get Paul Ryan out of the way. Whatever he was thought, or hoped, to bring to the Republican ticket, what Ryan mostly brought was additional opportunities for ridicule, and even the shallow entertainment value thus provided got old fast. The vaunted conservative policy wonk – a "numbers guy" whose numbers (when he bothers to offer any) never add up, a "serious thinker" whose cherished political convictions are a bumper sticker pastiche of Ayn Rand's Epistles to the Terminally Selfish, a small-government zealot whose entire life, pretty much, has consisted of feeding, if not gorging, at the public trough – has been surprisingly useless to the ticket. And I say "surprisingly" because I'd assumed that merely by naming a running mate, any running mate, the top of the ticket would receive a little less scrutiny, thereby benefiting the campaign. Happily, I stand corrected.
I was also convinced it was damn near impossible that a person could look more ludicrous than Ryan did in his now-infamous "Hey Girl" beefcake shoot, but I erred on that score, as well. In a world where Ryan could become the vice-presidential nominee of a major political party in the first place, not only was it possible, it was probably inevitable. When I saw the photos of the assistant-Commander-in-Chief-wannabe at a soup kitchen he was never invited to, stylin' for the cameras as he scrubbed clean pots and pans, his grinning wife standing nearby, I experienced that vilest of emotions: feeling embarrassed for people too oblivious to be embarrassed for themselves. Mixed, of course, with newly refreshed loathing.
Yet even this sleazy perfidy pales beside the Romney/Ryan campaign's crass exploitation of the Hurricane Sandy disaster, when a scheduled Dayton campaign rally was hastily converted into a "storm relief event." BuzzFeed has a terrific piece on the debacle, brimming with ghastly details, but the short version is that Romney's handlers rushed to Walmart, spent $5,000 on groceries and other items the Red Cross didn't want, handed them out to attendees so that the attendees could then "donate" them back, and all the while were blithely unconcerned that the obviously phony event would be exposed as, well, obviously phony. Not quite as spectacularly phony as George Bush's victory jig on an aircraft carrier, granted, but culled from the same Republican playbook. Not satisfied with this smarmy charade, Romney then embarked on some epic hurricane-driven flip-flopping over just what he would or wouldn't do with FEMA were the country to lose its collective mind and elect him, and topped it all off Wednesday morning in Tampa by urging 2,000 perfervid supporters to dig, uh, not very deep:
As the media continued to stream horror stories from Sandy's wake, Romney's Thursday afternoon rally in Virginia Beach was interrupted by a protester, who asked:
As the candidate silently watched with his trademark vacant leer, the crowd began the boorish "USA!" chant Republican mobs, weirdly, use to try and shut up people they disagree with, as the protester was hauled away. Stinky little scenes like this have been integral to the Romney campaign, rather than isolated, garish eruptions of excessive exuberance, as they tended to be characterized back when Sarah Palin – or Ryan 1.0, as I now think of her – incited GOP crowds by claiming that Barack Obama "palled around with terrorists."
As the last day of this sordid, abysmal campaign crawls by, we can at least be grateful that a few heretofore-obscure details are becoming clearer. That sure beats having to wait for the impending slew of tell-all books by Romney/Ryan campaign insiders, most of which will be read all the way through only by reviewers (and only because they'll be paid to do so).
The recent plague of plutocratic extortionists threatening their employees with dire consequences for failure to vote Romney comes to mind. In These Times helpfully connected the dots back to a June 6 conference call where the candidate himself urged such a course: Continue reading From Here to Anonymity (Man of a Thousand Farces edition)
It has long been apparent that neither Mitt Romney nor his handlers have any idea what they're doing, and since nothing says "helpful and fellow-feeling" like the Republican Party, a stampede of GOP deep thinkers has charged into the breach. The unsolicited advice began before the first balloon hit the floor at the end of the convention in Tampa, and has only increased in sound and fury since.
The clearest sign of the mess Mitt Romney finds himself in is that even perpetually ardent hyper-partisan Peggy Noonan is beginning to sound delirious with frustration. Her September 18 Wall Street Journal column – entitled "Time for an Intervention"! – excoriated Romney's hamfisted attempt to exploit tensions in the Middle East:
Noonan was even more dismissive of Romney's notorious Boca Raton fundraiser remarks:
Jeepers! Noonan hasn't sounded this fretful since George W. Bush was nearly assassinated by a pretzel. She's so pessimistic she believes the entire Republican Party is going to have to step in and save the candidate from himself. While her prescriptions for a campaign turnaround are comical, she depicts the urgency of Romney's need for one rather eloquently:
As to the comical part, well, the Republican Party Noonan believes in ceased to exist decades ago, if indeed it ever existed at all:
Whee! On September 28, Noonan sounded no less frantic, although she'd managed to weave some silver linings out of whole cloth over the space of ten days:
Which, if Noonan were capable of being honest about it, is exactly the sort of bullshit narrative that America's vigilant free press is ready to deploy, even if Romney kicks off the evening by accusing Jim Lehrer of not having written a decent song since "The Vatican Rag," tries to bet the audience $10,000 that he'll win the debate, throws up on himself, and finally collapses in an aspic of tears and flop sweat as Ann Romney comes running out from the wings, screaming, "Look what you people have done to him! I told you people I was worried about his mental well-being!"
Noonan goes on to paint a lovingly detailed picture of a Barack Obama who exists only in the fever swamps of the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation. At this point, I don't think she's trying to convince her readers as much as she's trying to convince herself that Romney can win the debate and win the White House, and I don't think she's making any headway. In Noonan's lush imaginings, the President is vulnerable because, A, everyone is too easy on him, B, he's boring and pedantic, C, he doesn't like to be questioned, D, he makes stuff up, and E, he acts like the biggest celebrity in the world, just as the McCain campaign alleged. Putting aside the fact that if her portrait of Barack Obama had any validity he wouldn't now be the incumbent, it's touching that Noonan retains enough vestigial faith in Romney to believe he could capitalize on these weaknesses even if they were real.
Others, in both the Republican squawkoscenti and among the hoi polloi, aren't so sure. The recent Values Voter Summit featured a gratifying number of long faces, and no small amount of backseat driving: Continue reading From Here to Anonymity (Eve of Derision edition)

Prevent defense prevents Tampa Bay from winning Game One.
Stanley Cup Final
Game One
Chicago Leads the Series 1-0
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 21 shots for the loss. He was solid, but unspectacular. I can't fault him on either goal as he was screened by three bodies on the first goal and was the victim of a quick change turnover right into the slot on the second goal. With that said, he got outplayed by Crawford tonight in a game where one more big save was the difference between winning and losing.
First Period
4:31 TB Killorn (8), (Stralman, Filppula)
Second Period
Third Period
13:28 CHI Teravainen (3), (Keith, Shaw)
15:26 CHI Vermette (3), (Teravainen)
Alex Killorn was the game's third star.
The Lightning could very well be kicking themselves pretty hard at the end of this series for what transpired in the final 45 minutes of this hockey game, and especially that Third Period. They came out like a house of fire for the First Period and really had Chicago on their heels. I have no doubt that it was a clash of styles for the Blackhawks to go from a bigger, less fleet of foot Anaheim club in the Western Finals to the speed and aggressiveness of the Lightning, and Tampa Bay cashed on the beautiful tip in goal by Killorn. It was hard not to be proud of the way the Lightning handled themselves in the first 15 minutes, where they really came out to win rather than to throw roses at the feet of Chicago as triumphant conquerors the way some in the media, like Mike Milbury, evidently thought they would. They could've built an even larger lead, but Crawford quelled any uprisings by the Lightning the rest of the way.
From the last five minutes of the First Period on, though, Chicago slowly and steadily turned the momentum of the game, sans a few hiccups late in the Second Period, until the Lightning were in a completely passive defensive shell in the Third. The Lightning are not built to win games 1-0, nor would it be prudent to try to do so anyway because when you allow the other team possession so easily, greasy goals (like a screened goal) eventually follow. That was what happened on Teravainen's tying goal and then J.T. Brown was put in a tough spot to handle a hot pass by Hedman up the wall that he tipped into the slot to Vermette, who fired it home for the game winner. And that, folks, is how a prevent defense prevents you from winning.
I still would love to see what happened to Nikita Kucherov swinging around Crawford's net on the play just before Teravainen's tying goal in the Third Period, mind you. It sure did look like he got high sticked in broad daylight, and a call there might've been the lifeline the Lightning needed to get across the finish line. It was an... interesting... decision by NBC not to air a replay of what occurred.
Now the Lightning find themselves in a near must-win situation for Game Two. It's a really dangerous spot to be in. Tonight's effort wasn't bad. They defended well, and if you told me the Lightning would hold Chicago to 2 goals in this game I would've told you the Lightning probably won. But, they can't get off their possession game like they did the final 45 minutes of the contest. The scary thing is Chicago will be playing aggressive and loose knowing they're playing house money with a road win already in their back pocket, so the Lightning have to be ready for Chicago to push and they also have to remain disciplined and not get away from their defensive game despite having only scored 1 goal in Game One. It's going to be a challenging couple of days for Cooper and the coaching staff to get the Lightning into the right frame of mind after letting this one slip away.
Psychologically, the Lightning are in the tough position of needing to learn the lesson of the night for when they're protecting a lead in a tight game, but they simply cannot bring any regret or frustration to the rink the next day. What's done is done and there's a lot of hockey left to be played in this series. Any negativity or temptation to indulge in self pitying wishful thinking about what might have been will only keep them from focusing on what still needs to be done. Were I Coach Cooper, I'd start the next practice by telling everyone that anyone who is still pouting about what happened in Game One can stay in the locker room, because everybody needs to be on point to win Game Two.
Nikita Nesterov was +1 with 1 blocked shot in 6:23. Given the gravity of these games, and that most of them are pretty tight, Nesterov's just not going to get a ton of ice time. With that in mind, it's fair to ask if the Lightning might be better served dressing a 12th forward instead, although the coaching staff clearly doesn't trust any of their other options enough to give them meaningful ice time, either. This is a difficulty that should remedy itself with another year of seasoning for the likes of Drouin and Namestnikov, but that's cold comfort when you're playing for a championship this year.

The Tyranny of Cliches
Filed under: Uncategorized
By Brice Buckley (Editor-at-Large, Clarion Advisory) 5-4-12
Well hello there, it has been a while. Me? Well, I'm fine and hopefully you are all doing well even as we watch the Big undignified carry out, in liberal proportions, his grand plan of transformation — from 1600 Penn. While we have all been looking aghast at the unfurling of this troubled fix where up has become down and down has become up, think of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, we can be encouraged and rightfully so by those like my friend Jonah Goldberg and the crew assembled at National Review.
I would like to congratulate Jonah on his latest book, The Tyranny of Cliches and also to Rich Lowry over at NRO.
WFB, Jr. would be more than proud.
Tell me what you're thinking...

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.
Tony Robbins (1960 -)
Contributed by: Zaady
Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.
I also remember the moment my life changed, the moment I finally said, ''I've had it! I know I'm much more than I'm demonstrating mentally, emotionally, and physically in my life.'' I made a decision in that moment which was to alter my life forever. I decided to change virtually every aspect of my life. I decided I would never again settle for less than I can be.
You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.
You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events -- how we interpret them -- that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.
It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
There's always a way -- if you're committed.
There's no abiding success without commitment.
The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

I travelled to Bali in February 2012. 3 nights in this hotel. Clean cut design and modern look. My room wasn't ready upon arrival, had to bunk in my sister's twin room instead nice and cosy, with a balcony facing the pool. I opt for queen bed prior during booking, and yes i got one. However was shocked that unlike the twin room, there's no balcony and no accessible windows!! But it wasn't the main concern, we are just gonna sleep at night that's all.
Room is relatively spacious for queen bed, with TV, open wardrobe. Toilet is clean, hot & cold water available. Sink and mirror beside the entrance.
Occasionally you can here doors slamming from other rooms. Breakfast is the same each day. Indonesian fried rice, noodles, some stir fried vege, scrambled eggs of your choice, cornflakes, milk, coffee etc.
Enjoyed my stay at Amaris. Staff are friendly and there are ready taxis waiting at the lobby for your convenience.

Rumor: Ye olde Sims on the way?
Dung festering in the streets. Lack of proper plumbing. Plague. Nearly non-existent life-expectancy. Unending torrents of played-out Monty Python and The Holy Grail jokes.
Those are the medieval times for you. Sounds like a pretty great place for a Sims game, huh?
That's exactly where The Sims are headed next, however, if EA plans on doing anything with a gaggle of extremely subtle domain names it recently laid claim to.
As spotted by superannuation, they are simsmedieval.com, simsmedieval.net, thesimsmedieval.com, thesimsmedieval.net, thesimsgetmedieval.com, and thesimsgetmedieval.net.
Those could be for anything! But – and this is just a wild guess – we think EA might be gearing up for a medieval Sims expansion pack. But then, we could be way off-base. For all we know, EA might just be setting the hype train in motion for its hip new mascot: Sim Smedieval. It's kind of hard to tell with these things.

Robin, I am by no means a prodigous runner but, one thing I learned training for my first triathlon (which I started doing about 6 weeks before the event and couldn't even run a mile when I started training) is that the key to finishing your 5K is PACING. I do my races carrying over 20% including combat boots in an effort to honor our heroes deployed for war so my pace is pretty slow. I often see people shooting past me only to see them walking up ahead .. to see them shooting by me and so on.
On my last race .. er even .. a 10K, I saw a woman doing that for a few miles and finally suggested that she just pace with me as I was doing a slow 11.25 minute mile pace .. when we crossed the finish line, she told me she was amazed how easy it felt and that was the first time she had ever been able to complete that much of a 10K running ..
Just a little advice as passed along from my tri coach. I have no doubt that you will be able to do it, if you pace correctly Good luck
I just ran my first 5K on January 30th and like you, I was a bit nervous as this was my first race. I actually surprised myself and did much better than I even anticipated. I finished 6th in my age group. I am 35 and I am doing my first 8k next week. The races are so inspiring. There are people from all walks of life and they are all there to either support a cause or for the fitness of it and it is a wonderful feeling just to be a part of it. You will do fine if you just do your best !!! Best of luck!
I just ran my first 5k in over 13 years. At first I was nervous and felt alone, so I just stood in the back since I had no clue as to how fast I can run a mile. It was a bit intimidating but as soon as I got started the fear went away. I ran past a lot of people which surprised me. But there was even a young girl in front of me with an inhailer. This was no ordinary race it was a come one come all. I was so into the race that when I crossed the line at 33:33 I was just glad I finished it:^0. But I forgot to get my chip before the race so when they clipped them off I had none. I just looked at the volunteer and said "I'm here to get in shape not to compete." and ran along with my kids on their run and enjoyed the rest of the day. Now I have 3 more 5k's to do so far.;) Everyone goes through it just signing up is the hard part. Best of luck!B-)
LMAO, just keep swimming, just keep running!!! That is so funny I LOVE it!! I know on my next long run I will be singing that.
I'll probably do a St Pat's race too, yet another time you (and Dori) are sure to pop in my head. Keep up the awesome job.
Hi Robin,
I started running last August, and I ran my first 5K in October. I was extremely nervous. I drove my husband nuts that morning.:^0 If you're already running 2.5, I'm pretty certain that you can do the whole 3.1. The adrenaline alone might push you that last half mile.
My best advice is don't try to keep up with the pack when the race starts. I've participated in four races, and in every single race, a lot of people start out too fast. I say this because the people who pass me at the beginning are usually the ones that I pass at the end. In my last race, a lot of people started walking at 1.5 miles, and I was comfortably passing them (and secretly loving it!). I sprinted the end of the race. So, ignore the people around you who start out trying to run 5-minute miles and run the pace that you normally run.
My goal for my first 5K was just to finish it without walking, and I did. Considering that I couldn't run a full mile without walking just two months before that, I was pretty happy.
How did it go Saturday??? I hope you accomplished everything you set out to do!!
Thanks everyone, so much, for the continuing support. I find if I check in to my post every day, I get the encouragement I need. I did my best run EVER on Saturday; 2.5 miles in 29 minutes.
If you did 2.5 in 29 it's time to bump up the mileage. Don't be scared :-o You can do it , and you may even be suprised how easy it is.
Do ya' think so??? I don't know; I think I only did it that fast because I was feeling so good about all the encouraging posts. Maybe that feeling will stay with me - I hope so!!
Tonight is a running night. I'll see if I can keep up my time!!
Yes I do think you should increase the distance, what do the rest of you think,... anyone?
That good feeling will stay with you as long as you allow it. It's a wonderful feeling, when you keep improving and getting better but keep in mind eventually there will be off days too. Days where you can't figure out what went wrong. Nothing is wrong, that's just the nature of running. So don't get too discouraged when things don't go just right, keep at it, don't quit, remember good days alway follow the bad days sooner or later and that great feeling comes right back. Keep plugging away. I love your enthusaism!
I have never been a runner and was talked into doing the Disney 5K last year. I was very nervous also. But when you get out there, watching all the other people, you just keep going and concentrate on passing some, watching them, and watch where you are going. I actually went faster during the 5K then I ever ran during training. It was a very high motivational boost. I loved it. You will do fine and eat a high Carb meal the night before the run. Relax and have fun.
Thanks Carole. You don't know how much your posts have helped me get my groove back!
Last night had to run on the treadmill (20-some degrees outside, gale force winds!). I couldn't go as far usual, but at least I was moving, and not home on the couch. Feeling better about the 5K...
My first 5K is this weekend. I have been able to run it on the treadmill, but I have a hard time getting out on the road to run. I'm sure you can do it and I know there are lots of other newbies out there with you. I'm hoping I don't faint in front of my students who come out to see me! haha
Hello Robin,
Like everyone has said, congrats on your entering. I am also 50 and started running last year, did my first 5k on new years day 08. I had also smoked for the previous 30 years and I am just glad I am able to get out there. Just run at your own pace, even if it is run /walk, all that matters is to finish in the vertical position! I went on to run 17 races last year. I am not fast at all and basically compete against myself. Relax, Have fun and just do it!
Thanks Bob. Wow - 17 races in your first year! That's great; keep up the good work. I too was a long time smoker; on and off for about 20 years. (I couldn't smoke when I was pregnant!). I quit for good about 2 years ago. I could never run if I was still smoking! Funny how the priorities change when you start running.

ON THE SURFACE, it was one of those mid-August wins that years from now will be notable only for the trivia possibilities of the names in the box score. Jerome Williams and Andres Blanco. Remember those guys?
Yet even if Williams' seven solid innings and Blanco's three-run home run will prove to be of little consequence in the grand scheme of things, there were a couple of morsels buried in the Phillies' 4-1 win over the visiting Mariners that could be worth storing for future reference.

Congressman holds meeting with public
Published: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Congressman Charles Taylor, R-Brevard, will hold a Town Hall meeting at 4 p.m. on Monday, July 11 at the Henderson County Public Library at 301 N. Washington Street.
The purpose of the meeting is to give constituents an opportunity to talk about issues concerning the federal government, according to a press release from Taylor's Asheville office.
"This is an opportunity for folks to share their concerns with me on important issues such as taxes, immigration, Social Security and the budget," Taylor said. "I urge people in Henderson County to take this opportunity to have a voice in our federal government."
The meeting is sponsored by Taylor, not the library. Those who attend the meeting are asked to use the parking lot on Third Avenue West behind the State Employees Credit Union.
Taylor will be holding additional Town Hall meetings throughout the 11th District in the coming weeks.

Guard passing is without a doubt the most complex task in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. … [Read more...]
Five Tricks to Tighten Up Your Sidemount
There's nothing worse than weathering the storm in someone's guard, passing their guard by fighting your way past their legs, finally getting to sidemount, making one tiny mistake and then - boom - you're back in their guard. It's tiring, demoralising, and leaves you open to getting swept or tapped out. No! After doing all that work you want to stay in sidemount, make them pay for giving … [Read more...]

Kimura Armlock Grips Explained!
The Kimura, much like any other technique, is usually taught as a series of steps. First do this... Then move your hand here... Then adjust your body this way...

When I first learned about the Kimura armlock attack … [Read more...]
A Powerful Surprise Choke Attack from Sidemount
This is one of my very favourite attacks from Sidemount. It works in a BJJ context (i.e. with the gi), in submission grappling, and even in MMA. It's a very powerful attack, but the best thing about is that if it doesn't work then you don't typically lose position. You stay on top and can easily switch to a followup attack. … [Read more...]

The Highest Percentage Sidemount Escape in BJJ?
Sidemount is arguably the pinning position you're going to run into most often in BJJ. Most guard passes lead into sidemount, and from sidemount you can get to almost every other position (it's kind of like the Grand Central Station of BJJ pinning)! So it's not surprising that there are a ton of different sidemount escapes involving shrimping, bridging, spinning, reguarding, etc. … [Read more...]
How to Defend and Escape the Kimura from Side Control
Defending and escaping the Kimura when you're on the bottom of side control is always difficult. There are several different reason for this... First of all, the figure four grip used in the Kimura is very powerful control. It's a natural handle that your opponent can use to manipulate your entire body, both in gi or no gi. And once your opponent has secured this grip it's a real pain to get … [Read more...]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Water managers are determining if recent storms helped California's dwindling water supplies enough to warrant increases in water deliveries to farms and thirsty cities.
Meantime, the California Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on Wednesday announced that water deliveries will remain at zero until the analysis is complete.
State Water Project allocations have been cut to zero for the first time in the system's 54-year history, and the federally run Central Valley Project has also cancelled deliveries to most recipients.
Water resources director Mark Cowin says it will likely take until the end of the month to determine if any water can be delivered.
California is in a drought emergency, and officials said recent rains haven't helped the parched state's long-term water prognosis.

John Mackey, NFL Hall-of-Fame End, Union Leader, Dies at 69
John Mackey, a Hall-of-Fame tight end for the Baltimore Colts who served as president of the National Football League Players Association, has died. He was 69.
Mackey died yesterday, Chad Steele, a spokesman for the Baltimore Ravens, confirmed in an e-mail. Details weren't immediately available. Mackey had battled dementia, according to the NFLPA.
One of the first tight ends with the speed to run deep pass routes, Mackey had 331 catches for 5,236 yards and 38 touchdowns while playing nine seasons for the Colts and one with the San Diego Chargers. In Super Bowl V, in 1971, Mackey helped the Colts beat the Dallas Cowboys by catching a pass from Johnny Unitas that had been deflected off two other players for a 75-yard touchdown.
Sports Illustrated in 2010 ranked Mackey the third-best tight end in NFL history, behind only Mike Ditka and Tony Gonzalez. Mackey and Ditka "broke the mold of the tight end as a sixth offensive lineman," the magazine wrote. "Mackey might be the greatest downfield tight end ever."
A native of New York who played college football at Syracuse University, Mackey was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992, the second tight end to gain induction.
As president of the players' union in the early 1970s, he fought to give players more rights as free agents. He brought a successful antitrust challenge to a league rule that had required teams that signed a free agent to compensate that player's former employer.
"John Mackey is still a leader," players association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said in a Twitter post. "As president of the NFLPA, he led the fight for fairness with brilliance and ferocious drive. John Mackey has inspired me and will continue to inspire our players and define our institution. He will be missed but never forgotten."

$theTitle=wp_title(" - ", false); if($theTitle != "") { ?>
When I first saw the title of the film and who was in it, I was expecting something super cheesy or maybe even a comedy, but I was wrong and pleasantly surprised. White House Down is an upcoming action-thriller film directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gyllenhaal. I think I thought comedy because the first thing that came to mind was Jamie Foxx singing "Channing All Over Your Tatum" a while back on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon…but anyway…
Here's the premise of the film: "When a paramilitary group led by Stenz (Jason Clarke) take over the White House, Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum), a failed applicant to the Secret Service, must rescue the President of the United States James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). The trailer is pretty epic, which is to be expected when you consider that the director of this movie also directed Independance Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012. In the trailer, they say "Our darkest secrets will become our biggest threats."
As a side note, another "White House attack" type movie called Olympus Has Fallen comes out this month and that once looks good too. The film comes out this summer, opening in theaters on June 28, 2013. Watch the trailer below!
