Angel of Death Row
Angel of Death Row
My Life as a Death Penalty Defense Lawyer
Kaplan Publishing, Hardcover, 9781607144342, 288pp.
Publication Date: January 5, 2010
Nineteen times, death penalty defense lawyer Andrea D. Lyon has represented a client found guilty of capital murder. Nineteen times, she has argued for that individual's life to be spared. Nineteen times, she has succeeded.
Dubbed the "Angel of Death Row" by the Chicago Tribune, Lyon was the first woman to serve as lead attorney in a death penalty case. Throughout her career, she has defended those accused of heinous acts and argued that, no matter their guilt or innocence, they deserved a chance at redemption.
Now, for the first time, Lyon shares her story, from her early work as a Legal Aid attorney to her founding of the Center for Justice in Capital Cases. Full of courtroom drama, tragedy, and redemption, Angel of Death Row is a remarkable inside look at what drives Lyon to defend those who seem indefensible—and to win.
There was Annette who was suspected of murdering her own daughter. There was Patrick, the convicted murderer who thirsted for knowledge and shared his love of books with Lyon when she visited him in jail. There was Lonnie, whose mental illness made him nearly impossible to save until the daughter who remembered his better self spoke on his behalf. There was Deirdre, who shared Lyon's cautious optimism that her wrongful conviction would finally be overturned, allowing her to see her grandchildren born while she was in prison. And there was Madison Hobley, the man whose name made international headlines when he was wrongfully charged with the murder of his family and sentenced to death.
These clients trusted Lyon with their stories—and their lives. Driven by an overwhelming sense of justice, fairness, and morality, she fought for them in the courtroom and in the raucous streets, staying by their sides as they struggled through real tragedy and triumphed in startling ways. Angel of Death Row is the compelling memoir of Lyon's unusual journey and groundbreaking career.
Andrea D. Lyon is Director of the Center for Justice in Capital Cases and Clinical Professor of Law, Associate Dean for Clinical Programs, at DePaul University College of Law. She began her career at the Cook County Public Defenders' Office, working her way up to Chief of the Homicide Task Force, a 22-lawyer unit that represents people accused of homicide.
Lyon has tried more than 130 homicide cases, both within the public defender's office and elsewhere. She has defended more than 30 potential capital cases at the trial level. Of these, she has taken 19 through the penalty phase, and won them all. She lives in Chicago, Illinois.

You looking for a special performer for an upcoming event? A celebrity perhaps? Well, ever wonder how much former Idol contestants make per gig after they've completed the star-making process that is American Idol? Well, a list has been compiled of the top earners from the ten past season, and fees range anywhere from $5,000 all the way up to a whopping $500,000.
As you would probably guess, the top earners include Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, but who else is up there at the top of the list? And, who's at the bottom? You know, not that it's a bad thing. There are fifteen people on this list, so at least out of the thousands and thousands of people that have been on this show, this handful of people are making a living from their singing careers. Good for them! Check out the list below!

Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase
HP Deskjet 4180
Genuine HP Tri-Color #22 ink cartridge and Black #21 ink cartridge
Windows 7
Test printing from Photoshop, Windows Picture Viewer and GIMP.
Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase.
The experience that I'm having currently contradicts very good, accurate color from HP cartridges in the past from RGB images that I've printed successfully with this printer. I've previously got excellent color from the true HP ink cartridges on this Deskjet 4180 printer.
But today it is obvious that the yellow is not flowing from this cartridge that was installed only a few weeks ago. And my ink levels are at 50 percent, and they were even higher when I started today... see the screenshots below.
I'm printing from Photoshop, but for some tests I tried printing from two other applications today but I'm always getting these results that indicate that there is no yellow printing... this is much worse than just a bad color profile. I'm an experienced photo retoucher and I have a long history of dealing with inkjet printing in the work place with all kinds of printers.
I know that inks can dry up in their cartridges if they don't get printed with every few weeks and if the printer isn't maintained. I purchased these new cartridges only about three weeks ago and the first test prints and some prints two weeks ago came out perfect.
But today this is the result I'm getting... screenshots below show the original RGB image and an actual scan of the bad print results I'm getting, indicating that no yellow is flowing from the HP tri-color cartridge. And a screenshot of the ink level indicator panel is at the bottom.
Why is the yellow ink drying up and not flowing so quickly? How can I prevent this besides doing semi-weekly prints to keep the inks from drying up? I'm in a fairly humid climat, so dry air is not the problem. The contact points on the cartridge are clean.
Does HP guarantee their cartridges for this kind of thing?
Good color - original RGB image...
Bad color - actual scan of bad print with no yellow, below...
Ink levels after test printing...
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
This article should cover the issue you are experiencing. Give the steps outlined a shot and let us know if it helps.
Best of Luck!
Re: Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purcha
Hello JohnB,
Thanks for your reply.
I went through the article that you linked for me, but I've gone through all those steps previously, as I wrote about in my original question post.
I'm including a test print sheet (below) as described in the article that you linked to, and it shows, as I said before, that no yellow is printing.
Yet this was previously a brand new tri-color ink cartridge, prior to the test sheets and attempted cartridge cleanings that I tried.
As I said before, this was a brand new HP brand tri-color cartridge that TESTED CORRECTLY with a test print and a trial print of my own when I first installed the cartridge. Then just a couple weeks later, I go back to do a print and the yellow will not print.
As I also said before, I've gone through this exact same problem with two prior sets of HP cartridges and two prior non-HP cartridges where I installed the tri-color cartridge, it tests and prints just fine, then two weeks later it will not print one or two of the colors when the cartridge is virtually new and full.
As I said, it is as if one or two of the colors seem to dry up only two weeks after the tri-color cartridge is installed and TESTS AND PRINTS CORRECTLY WHEN IT IS FIRST INSTALLED.
Below is a scan of the test print that I printed today, showing no yellow ink and another screenshot of the ink levels that still show at least half way, since I've done several attempted cartridge cleanings through the maintenance tool box.
Any other ideas?
Re: Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purcha
Also, as far as this forum software is concerned. This forum interface didn't recognize my password when I tried to log in to respond to JohnB's answer, so I did the "forgot password" thing and then it sent me the email with the link to pick a new password, then it asks me to pick two new security questions, then asks me to pick a NEW screen name. But when I entered my existing screen name, which is "digiday", then it tells me that screen name is already taken... yes it IS taken, BY ME!
So I had to pick a NEW screen name, which is now "numetro"... that's why I am now responding with a different screen name than I had to begin with when I origianlly posted this question.
So I can see that this forum software is not working correctly since it made me pick a new, different screen name just because I needed to make a new password.

Hi numetro,
Try cleaning the contacts on the cartridges and on the carriage to see if that is the cause of the problem. I just thinking if the contacts on both the carriage and the cartridge are dirty then it might not be sending the signal through to release the ink. Do make sure that the power is off and the AC adapter is unplugged prior to cleaning the contacts on the carriage.

Well, here is the answer I was looking for, only arrived at by way of my own further investigation and experimentation.
It seems that no matter who I asked about this problem, I always got the same questions and answers.
For example, the people at the HP 800 number for consumer help, where it seemed I was not talking to someone who was actually familiar with the product, because they came to the conclusion that I need to buy a new HP printer... wow, isn't that a big surprise for an HP employee to say, "Just buy a new one!".
No one, and I mean no one, would seem to be able to listen to or understand what I wrote in my original question on this thread about how this printer prints fine when I first put in a new ink cartridge, and then just a few weeks later one or two of the colors seem to be dried up and they won't print.
And it seems that somewhere I read that you need to print a test maintenance print every month or so to keep the inks from drying up... but the inks seem to be drying up in less than three weeks now, even though I used to be able to go for months without doing a print and the inks would still be fine.
So when I was talking to someone in India, Malaysia or the Philippines at the HP 800 customer phone support number, after going through so much crap about whether this printer was still in warranty just to have a simple question answered you'd think I was trying to launch nuclear missiles and my launch codes weren't current.
And it was much the same situation to get on HP's "Live Chat" customer service on the net, and then they'd go through the same line of questions and answers as the support people on the HP 800 phone line...
Q: "Do you have dirty nozzles on your ink cartridges?"
A: "No, like I said in my original statement, I cleaned those and they weren't dirty to begin with."
Response: "Because you need to clean those every so often, you know."
Q: "Did you try cleaning the contacts on the cartridges?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I already did that."
Response: "Because you need to clean those contacts every so often, you know."
Q: "Did you try putting in a new cartridge?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, this cartridge is nearly new and it shows a 90% ink level."
Response: "Because you need to put in new cartridges when the ink runs out, you know."
Q: "Did you do a test print?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I did a test print and that's what is telling me that the yellow and magenta are not printing any longer."
Response: "Because that's how you can tell if any colors aren't printing, you know."
So is anyone else seeing a pattern here? It's not like I'm talking or live chatting with a real human being, but maybe an automated voice prompt system that only has an A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 type of response system that it's working from.
The people hear a answer, and regardless of what that question was in the troubleshooting category that they are in, they just have a stock response that seems to bypass what the customer's answer was, so it's like I'm talking or live chatting with a machine that is uttering its responses in a fixed pattern, regardless of what I'm saying.
HP customer service is like talking to someone who isn't listening, so often they ask their next question, but I just answered that question with my previous answer.
Like I said, the way it used to be, HP or even after market ink cartridges could sit for months without doing a maintenance print and I would still get a perfect print every time. And that's pretty typical for maybe an older person who isn't printing prints that often, but they just want to print one every few months or so, like my mom, with her HP printer, who I've been troubleshooting this problem for.
Or even with my own large format Epson printer or any of the pro level inkjet printers and even IRIS printers that I've used in the workplace over the course of the last 20 years... you could do a print every two months and there was no problem with dried up inks.
And I know somewhere in the past I read that the maintenance print that the instructions was recommending be printed only needed to be done every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the inks from drying up, although when I go through the entire full blown PDF instruction manual now I can't find ANYTHING about how often a maintenance print needs to be done... that's right, nothing!
But on Christmas eve I once again exchanged my last, dried up HP tri-color ink cartridge at a Walgreens store where my mom had purchased it months prior (and the guy was nice enough to exchange it even after 5 months) which was yet another HP tri-color ink cartridge that had at least two of it's colors dry up after only a few weeks. At that Walgreens they had been nice enough to replace three prior HP tri-color ink cartridges with the same problem in the last year, and before that three different after market, off brand tri-color ink cartridges from another store had dried up after only a few weeks.
So the guy at Walgreens told me that now with HP cartridges you need to do a maintenance test print EVERY WEEK in order to keep the inks from drying up... THAT'S EVERY WEEK YOU ARE NOW SUPPOSED TO DO A TEST PRINT FOR MAINTENANCE.
Now, you DO NOT need to do one of the test prints where it prints a photo of a pear, which uses quite a bit of ink, but you can just do one of the self test prints where you hold down on the CANCEL button and then press the COLOR COPY button and it prints a quick test page with just a little color and a lot of B&W text, and that's apparently enough.
And that seems to be enough to keep the ink cartridges from drying up, the way they seem to be otherwise doing so quickly now, as opposed to how HP and other brand ink cartridges used to.
And in fact, now after about a month, after doing weekly self test prints, the ink cartridges are still flowing well and they just did some full color prints quite nicely... ALERT THE MEDIA AND ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS THEMSELVES HP PRINTING EXPERTS!
So the questions I would ask myself are these...
First, why is it that NO ONE at HP customer service knew this, whether it be on the HP 800 phone support or on the HP "Live Chat" with people in India, Malaysia and the Philippines, or even here on the HP Help Forum with so-called EXPERTS from HP?
Second, how have the inks changed so that in the past, you didn't need to do maintenance prints every week, but maybe every two months at the most, in order to keep the inks from drying up, but now the inks dry up in a matter of less than two weeks unless a maintenance print is done once a week?
Have HP and other ink makers changed the formula of their inks so they dry up much faster, forcing people to buy new cartridges when the last ink cartridge is still at a 90% level with dried up ink?
And as a result, are people on the HP 800 customer phone support line and on HP "Live Chat" telling people that they need to buy a new printer, when in actuallity their ink cartridges are just drying up within a new record short period of time?
You tell me, HP experts.
Re: Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purcha
Yes I am very disgusted with HP dried up cartridges too. And none of the techs or "experts" can give any answers except "you need to get a new printer" Thanks to the last blogger for your research and sound advice!

After I modified the tagline this morning, the URL is being randomly condensed on certain includes, thus making it impossible for me to login and for the blog to load the stylesheets and other necessary files.
It may have something to do with the fact that I put a ' (apostrophe) character into the new tagline?
Need to fix this ASAP and would prefer not to have to reinstall everything... Is there a php file where the tagline is stored, that I could just quickly modify?
Thanks in advance!!

We recently stayed for one week at the PHCM. The two bedroom condo was clean and comfortable, with plenty of room. The king size beds were a plus. The view from almost every room is obscured by the now-defunct Columbus Tavern. In fact, we were there during Hurricane Sandy and watched the roof of the Columbus Tavern come off piece by piece -- and some of the pieces were huge! The pool is nice and not crowded. The hot tub was scortching hot sometimes and too cold to sit in other times. They really need the pool guy to monitor the temperature and adjust as needed.
It was unfortunate that the PHCM did not inform us of the closing of the Columbus Tavern prior to our arrival -- it had closed a few weeks ahead of our trip. The nearest restaurant is now several blocks (maybe even a half mile) walk from the hotel. There is not a grocery store on Paradise Island so you have to pay for the shuttle or for cab fare to go into Nassau to buy extremely expensive groceries. A case of water was $32. A six pack of coke was $7. A gallon of cranberry juice was $12. A half gallon of ice cream was $15. A package of turkey lunchmeat was $8. You get the idea! Fortunately we took the advice of TripAdvisor postings and brought a carry-on suitcase full of food -- breakfast bars, boxes of cereal, poptarts, Oreos and Chips Ahoy, a jar of peanut butter and jelly, Crystal Light packets to mask the taste of the water, bagels, crackers, Pringles, etc. My husband laughed when he saw what I had packed but was singing my praises after a trip to the Nassau grocery store! The only thing that is cheap is the liquor --- the rum is cheaper than the mixers!
One thing we did really like was having the use of the bicycles! We could ride them to the beach, down to Atlantis, out to dinner at Anthony's or Johnny Rockets, and one day my husband and I rode across the bridge to walk around Nassau and shop at the duty-free store! (This is not for the unexperienced or faint-of-heart as you have to ride with the wild traffic and unyeilding drivers, so be careful!) The front-desk staff at the PHCM happily brought out more bicycles from the garage if all of the ones that were out were gone -- they have lots of them!

I liked the idea of letting the chicken cook in its own juices - very nice!
Wife likes it so will try it again. Recipe fails to say what to do with the onions.
mm...it was ok,...not quite as I anticipated though, a bit too sour for my liking, but it went pretty well with the other guys

Skip to comments.Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll (Romney 46%, Obama 44%)
Posted on 07/06/2012 9:05:21 AM PDT by BarnacleCenturion
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Romney has a six-point advantage among unaffiliated voters. He also picks up 20% of the vote from White Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
Only 6% undecided. That's encouraging.
I guess the only remaining question is exactly HOW are the Clintons and the DNC gonna toss him under the bus before the Convention?
i believe it....Romney fights in dribs and drabs- he doesn't bludgeon obama over the head on a daily basis the way it should be done...
i've given Romney credit for fighting back somewhat versus the bend over and take it strategy of mclame four years ago, but thus far Romney has been timid fighting against the four year failure that is his opponent...
Romney best start making his case soon....people do not want obama...
Romney's not a much of a candidate, but it's amazing Obama still has so much support. Look at the mess this country is in.
Obama is a cult messiah figure for a very large amount of people in this country.
We are essentially living in a cult of personality and too few are willing to admit it.
There's the "Black-Magic Number" once again......44%
Pretty much the high water mark for Hussein and the kiss of death.
"...Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%."
I simply do not trust polls, but if those numbers are anywhere near the truth, I can't see Romney winning.
If Romney doesn't catch fire very soon, present new and bold ideas, and go after Obama, he is wasting everybody's time.
Romney needs the votes of folks that can't stand him (I am one of those), yet he seemingly refuses to give folks a reason to consider him. There is no vision, there is no excitement and there is no clear plan. Simply saying that he is going to fix sh!t just isn't enough.
I hate Obama's guts with everything I have within me. I truly believe that if Obama wins another 4 years, he and the dems will finish us off... but Romney shouldn't count on that sentiment as being enough. He actually has to work at winning it.
To me, it seems as if Romney is simply running out the clock... I do not believe that will work against Obama.
I would have voted for Newt.
Folks need to settle down.
Romney will win, and he'll win with the boring campaign he's running... why?
This election isn't about ROMNEY, its about OBAMA.. this election is a referendum on OBAMA, and when you dig into the numbers he's got zero chance of winning re-election.
Obama is viewed as extreme by 47% of the electorate vs 31% viewing Romney as extreme.. that right there tells you that Romney is going to win and win big.
Obamas only prayer at re-election was to paint his oponent as extreme and scaryier than 4 more years of him will be, and its just not happening nor will it happen.
He can't top 42-43% of the vote if he handles everything perfectly.
I know we all want to see the republic tear Obama apart and have a strong ideological debate, but Romney isn't going to do that, he's just going to run a quiet safe campaign, and watch Obama continue to hang himself.
Romney doesn't have to "catch fire"... the fire that's burning is the revulsion with Obama, and its burning brigheter every day. Most folks who are going to vote for Romney aren't going to do it because they are on fire for the guy, they are going to do it because he's not Obama. Just like Obama won because most of the folks (with the exceptiosn of blacks and guilty white liberals) voted for him because they were on fire against Bush.
We are looking at a real possibility of a McGovern type election folks where the democrat won't even pull 40% of the vote.
If Zero were a white guy his support would be in the low 30's. The stoner slackers cannot let go of their rock star without a voice.
I would have prefered Newt personally as well because I know he would have take the ideological battle to Obama.. but that's not what we got.
And yes Romney certainly can run out the clock on Obama, and even with that boring strategy he'll win by 12-15 points or more.
True - talk to the average obama drone and they are cult members to the Cult of Obama. its amazing the lengths they will go to defend this con man.
Exactly. The mild internal movement is gas noise.
I believe you are correct. Romney is following the same strategy that worked well for him during the primaries.
He'll bait Obama into wasting all his ammunition too early and will then proceed to unleash a massive attack from multiple fronts in the weeks leading up to the vote.
An ideological battle at this point would be a diversion. It's much better to let the bad economic news dominate the headlines. They are essentially free attack ads against Obama.
Watch the Rasmussen poll over the next 3 days because Romney will be racking up additional points onto his lead. Why? The very bad employment numbers will begin to resonate with more and more people. Sometimes it just takes awhile for the memo to get around to everyone. At the end of July will come the 2nd quarter GDP Report and Obama will take another leg down. This is going to be fun.
"Romney best start making his case soon....people do not want obama..."
Remember, when Romney comes off of vacation, Obama goes on vacation. That's when the gloves come off. A President during the worst depression since 1929 is chilling out at the Vineyard while people are starving and unemployed.
Makes for a good backdrop for the fall.
Perhaps you will be right, but I am not sold.
122 more painful days and we may know how this ends.
God Save the Republic.....
There is no reason to start punching zer0 yet.....let zer0 get his post convention bump, then unleash the hounds.....drive his ass down in a concentrated attack on his piss poor presidency.....he won't recover.
I think you have nailed Mitt's game plan. He will unleash a massive attack using Hussein's own words during September and October much in the way he blew Newt out of the water in the Florida primary.
The Rat talking points (off-shore accounts, job sourcing, Let homes foreclose etc.) will be worn out this Fall and proved to be twisted truth.
The conservative turnout must be stimulated by the right choice Mitten's makes for his VP. A milk toast candidate will cost Romney dearly. He must select a tea party firebrand that will rock the house!
Hjay is correct romney does not want his campaign to peak too early and the romney people are forcing Obama to spend faster than he can bring money in plus the challenger receives nine or more of the undecided vote on election day
Romney is in very good shape and there are only four more job reports before election day
i hope you're correct- but why wait until then??? its like an NFL team with a three point lead in the 2nd quarter employing a prevent defense with half the game left....
I firmly believe by October the serious political discussion won't even be can Obama win, the serious political discussion will be will the Republicans get 60 Senate seats.
Sure the die hard pundits wills till try to spin the election by that point, but they will be just espousing things they know are not true. Obama, Reid and Pelosi have collectively destroyed the democratic party this cycle.. the damage up and down the ticket will be catastrophic for the party.
Keep an eye on the fundamentals, not the headlines:
Obamas cash machine is gone, donors are abandoning him in droves, he's already told down ticket dems GET BENT, you aren't getting any money.. Romney, who is hardly a candidate who is exciting anyone is raising more money.
Obama is being abandoned by down ticket dems, they don't want to be seen or associated with him... That's a BIG BIG BIG deal for a sitting president. Having a photo op with a sitting president when you are a local politician in his party is HUGE bang for the buck, free press, fund raising etc etc.. and the lower level dems particularly in the non liberal areas are running for cover from the guy.
Obama really believes the public agrees with him ideologically, he is doubling down on radical liberalism. He truly believes he's losing and in trouble because he and his party are not embracing socialism STRONG ENOUGH! Look at his advice to dems.. Go on offensive over health care! The guy doesn't live in reality... The most reviled legislation in my lifetime, and he wants everyone to go out and defend it and us it to attack republicans.
Obama is still trying to attack Romney on Jobs creation.. how rediculous.. the last thing this guy should be calling attention to in any form is JOBS.. he is the only president in the modern era who will end his term with fewer people working than the day he took office... Not a fewer percentage, BUT FEWER ACTUAL PEOPLE WORKING! That's Obama's legacy... FAILURE.. across the board Failure and even his own people know it, which is why his record is never talked about.
Romney isn't a shy wall flower, he's shown he's a scrapper.. the primaries proved it. Right now he just has to sit tight and keep pounding the economy, by end of summer when it matters, he'll have a far bigger warchest, Obama will be on the defensive, and will be wasting what little money he has trying to hold onto traditionally liberal states... As long as the economy is where it is, and obamas record is what it is (and neither are going to turn around by November in any significant way) Obama cannot mount any serious offense, every attempt so far at an offense has has sunk like a lead balloon.
All he's got is staged gigs with friendly crowds, those swing voters that gave him a chance in 08 have abandoned him.. hell even large swaths of democratic voters have abandoned him.
I know 4 months is a long time in poltics, but the fact he hasn't even been able to take his one accomplishment, Obamacare and get a supreme court win on it, and turn that into anything shows you JUST HOW BAD IT IS FOR HIM!
He should have bounced 5-10 points with the decision last week, he got a dead cat bounce. That's his one achievement he can point to, and its dispised by voters of both parties! Hell poll just came out saying 20% of DEMOCRATS agree the bill will increase cost, hurt the economy and not improve health care!... 20% of your own party don't buy what you are selling on your coup de tat??? You are TOAST.
There will be plenty of staged theatrics to make it seem like he's got support for the cameras, but fact is, he's toast.
Don't forget, the USSC decision just reinvigorated the Tea Party, and most of the democratic senators who voted for obamacare HAVE NOT FACED THE VOTERS SINCE PASSING IT!!!! They are going to get slaughtered.
Real question is, not will the Repubicans win the White House, the real question is, will the republicans get a Filabuster proof majority in the Senate. Jan 2013 House, Senate and White House will be in republican hands... then the question will be, will they use it effectively or not.
>> Look at the mess this country is in.
Yes, for the productive class, but if you're a member of the Entitlement Class, you see Barky and his Massive Government as a Good Thing.
And the Entitlement Class is large, these days... and growing.
(and then there's that embarrassing People Of Color racism thing... in their eyes, there is only ONE candidate)
This is NOT the slam dunk it would have been in the '80s. The electorate is fundamentally different.
Makes for a good backdrop for the fall.
That would be funny if Romney gave an a speech about the economy and mentioned the promises Obama made etc.
All the while with a huge screen behind him showing various photos of Obama playing golf and vacationing.
As of now, Rasmussen has Obama leading in the Electoral College. He seems to have taken a few weeks off in state polling.
As was the focus group Fox News' Frank Luntz had on the other night, which--almost to a man (and woman!)--reflected a surprising (and very satisfying!) degree of dissatifaction toward the policies of this Administration, especially Obamacare. And--best of all--that focus group included quite a few people who voted for Obama in '08, and said they would NOT vote for him this year.
but, but, but...the gallup poll earlier this week showed Obama ahead.
i hope youre correct- but why wait until then??? its like an NFL team with a three point lead in the 2nd quarter employing a prevent defense with half the game left....
To me it's a pre-season game and no reason to open the playbook until the games matter.
I am seeing this type of comment regularly amongst these threads. I don't follow the main stream media and sporadically listen to talk radio.
Now, Mitt is out every day campaigning as far as I can tell. Are you equating his lack of 'fights' due to his stops not being covered? I mean the media is not going to give him the time of day so how do we know he is fighting or not?
He can issue all the statements he wants, tweets, facebook posts web posts, but if he isn't getting coverage, is that his fault?
i mean Romney should be taking obama and the liberal media out at the knees daily- the facts are on his side...yes, he has hit back on occasion but for the most part his attacks on obama have been tepid...i expected a building of sorts, hitting back harder everyday, considering its been nothing but bad for obama from an electoral perspective, the past two months...
In the privacy of the voting booth, the people will rid themselves of this poser, POS. I think the polls will be the farthest off this cycle than any other.
It's going to be a very close election, factoring in the Demo-fraud. Forget any landslide. People hate Romney, so the best he can do is eek out a win.
I'd rather see the landslide in both Houses of Congress.
People here on the Free Republic (myself included) tend to be extremely politically active as well as news junkies and we've been following this presidential election pretty much since the day after the last one ended in November of 2008!
What we lose sight of sometimes is that the vast majority of this country won't be paying attention to this presidential race until the leaves start turning.
So while we hunker down here and rend our clothing over the fact that Romney hasn't "come out swinging", most Americans are headed to the beach or flipping hamburgers in the backyard out on the grill. Even Romney himself is out there jet-skiing on Lake Winnepausakee this week.
Romney could spend a hundred million dollars this month running anti-Obama commercials and nobody but us would bother to see them or comment on them.
Now I'm not saying Romney should be sitting on his hands. Let him have this vacation week. But come Monday, I expect that he will resume campaign-related activities full-blast and that he has a staff that is going to adequately prepare him for the all-out war that will be necessary to unseat Obama.
Obama is weak but a sitting president is never to be taken for granted. Unlike Carter in 1980, Obama has a cultivated a cult of personality that would make Mussolini and Kim II-sung blush, and has a huge block of disciples who will follow him no-matter-what, even if he leads them over a cliff. Think Jim Jones. If he fixes poison Kool-Aid, people will line up to drink it. (Chris Matthews...please back off and give me some room, there's really no Kool-Aid, I'm only trying to make a point here...thank you!)
I also want to talk a little bit about human nature. People do not like to admit being wrong and they especially hate to have it pointed out to them. This not only makes them angry but it usually forces them back to their original position - even though they know it is the wrong position. Yes, many people's egos are such that they would rather entrench themselves in a position they know to be wrong then to be forced to admit that they made a mistake.
There are a lot of people who got snookered by Obama last go-around. Deep down inside, they are hurt and disgusted with themselves. As much as the rest of us are tempted, the worst thing we can do is mock them and say "told you so, told you so." All that will accomplish is to force them into a position of defending Obama (as they will see it as defending their own honor and dignity) when otherwise they may have reluctantly admitted, quietly and under their breath, that they made a colossal blunder.
I say let these folks save face and don't make them have to grovel. If a friend or relative tells you they might have erred with their vote in 2008, do NOT make a wise-ass remark or triumphantly exclaim to them that you were right and they were wrong. Otherwise, they will call you a dick and you will drive them right back into their shell and there will be no coming out of it again. They might even go ahead and vote for Obama out of spite.
Instead, let the moment pass without comment and quickly change the subject. Talk about how hot the weather has been or about how much the Red Sox suck this year. Your friend will respect that and at a later time, they will be able to open up to you more and then you guys can have an intelligent discussion about politics without anybody having to apologize.
The GOP convention is not until the end of August. That is when this campaign will really start heating up. That is when the Romney campaign needs to go nuclear.
Romney will win, and hell win with the boring campaign hes running... why?
That is outstanding. Then I am definitely voting for Virgil Goode from Virginia in my state of Pennsylvania. I was only going to vote for Romney if my vote was needed and it seems like Romney has this in the bag. That is more than good news for me as I was going to have to be drunk as a skunk to vote for Romney anyway. I am glad that he is doing well enough that I don't have to compromise my principles. Thank you for that bit of great news!!!
You are speaking like an ideologue, not an effective campaign manager.
Campaigns aren't won or lost by doing what your BASE, particularly your rabid base wants to see. Sure that can help you in primaries or safe districts, but when its a national election, those aren't always the best actions to be taking.
Yes, I'd love to see a true ideological debate, but guess what? It ain't gonna happen, and why isn't it going to happen? Because frankly, this election it doesn't need to happen. If the race were going to be close, yes, having hte ideological discussion would matter, reality is, this election isn't going to be close, and end of the day its not a decision between two unknowns, its an election that is going to be, and always was going to be a referendum on Obama.
Romney doesn't need to attack rabidly, because Obama is such an amateur.. The Obama Campaign is self destructing in slow motion right before your eyes, and you are so focused on the fact Romney isn't being a rabid pit bull in JULY, when no one is really paying much attention except for the political junkies, that you can't see it.
Stop being such a zealot and look, look at what's going on. Obama's been on the defensive for a month or more, even with a USSC victory, he got a dead cat bounce. His one accomplishment and winning it got him nothing, in fact the more he talks about it the lower he polls. Todays jobs numbers prove once again the Obama Economy is the No Job Economy. 4 more Job Reports until November, and guess what? They aren't going to change in any significant way between now and then.
Obama is losing the fund raising battle, he's been abandoned by his donors, He's trying to gain momentum in ways that are foolish.... Like attacking Romney on his jobs record... Really? Obama's administration is the only administration in the modern age where fewer people will have jobs the day his term ends than the day he took office.... But Job creation is really what you want to talk about? Obama is a neophite, he's beyond an amateur.
He couldn't even change the topic with an Obamacare win, because the more he talks about it the lower he goes in the polls! The legislation is dispised across the board even 20% of polled democrats believe it will drive up cost, hurt jobs and not improve health care! 20 percent of his own party aren't buying his jive.
He's got nothing, he can't run on his record, because it blows... his only chance is to paint Romney as more extreme and dangerous than him... and polling out on the 5th showed that 47% of voters viewed Obama as extreme, and only 31% viewed Romney as Extreme... So, for all of Romney's faults being painted as an extremist, really isn't likely.
Obama is the most tin eared politician ever to hold the office of the Presidency, he really believes his "cult of personality" can overcome anything. Clinton had a cult of personality, but he had the political skills to back it up.. end of the day, like him or hate him, he had political chops.. This guy has no political ability at all, and his contrived cult of personality faded into oblivion long ago.
Obama is polling lower in EVERY group he carried in 2008.. yes, even among BLACKS... 15% unemployment will do that to you. Youth vote? 50% can't find work... etc etc etc.. Working Class Whites in the rust belt and south, GONE.. the Blue Dog Democrats have written this schmuck off, and he can't recover that segment from other areas.
This guy if he ran a perfect campaign would only get about 42-43% of the popular vote, reality is, he most likely won't get 40% of the vote on election day.
Sure the press isn't pounding Obama like they should be, but even in the press you can see the cracks in the propoganda machine are there. They know the bloods in the water, you can't cover up 3+ years of 18% real unemployment. No one is buying it. By fall, blood will be in the water, and you will still see some attempts at propping this joker up, but the real conversation is going to be will the Republicans get 60 seats in the Senate, no one but the most avid pundit will be arguing Obama will win with any sincerity.
Romney is going to run a boring campaign, and honestly there is no reason he can't. Obama has no chance of overcoming his negatives and problems, and yes I have no doubt it will get dirty and nasty down the road, but Obama cannot paint Romney as extreme, only the kool aid drinkers are going to believe Romney is scarier than 4 more years of Obama.
Obama got voted in out of disgust with Bush, Obama is going to be sent packing out of disgust with Obama. This election is a referendum on Obama.. Romney doesn't need to go off all gung ho day after day in Jul when no one is even watching. Romney has proven he'll fight and fight hard when it matters. For now, let the amateur keep hanging himself.
Relax, Mitt has shown he has no problem blugeoning his opponents, or did you miss his attacks in the primaries?
Its JULY folks, and Mitt isn't throwing hard punches and Obama has still be on the defensive, even with his obamacare win for more than a month.
Obama is a rank amateur and it shows, Romney can enjoy exactly what he has been doing, Obama hasn't had 1 day of true offense since Romney was nominated, and if he couldn't turn OBamacare ruling into offense, he can't turn anything into offense.
It will get more interesting by the end of summer, but for now, no one but political junkies are paying a whole lot of attention.
I did not think Mitt would be the nominee and he is so maybe he knows how to win, unlike McCain.
However, to me it seems that if he refuses to go out for some Touchdowns after the nomination, he will not bring a strong down ticket vote along with him. In other words, if he wants a Republican Senate, he should go all out after the convention?
Yes but we need to vote to get as many conservatives in the house and senate as possible. Even in the local state houses we need to stack with conservatives. That way, whatever happens with POTUS in the future we have conservatives in place for several years to stop nonsense.
Nicely done... I hope you are right.
Thread winner. This race is between Obama and Not Obama. Who's this Romney guy?
Excellent post, HJ.

Good morning Uk, how are we?
Thanx Chris

Hi Alice welcome to the group, it's rare that anyone posts in here now, lol, but I'll send you an invite to one that's more active and is probably right up your street.
Hiya to hosts and members
I'm Alice from Scotland and although I have been a member for some time I have not been very active, too swamped with other sites which I have now cancelled.
Although this is a US site it's nice to see that we can post things concerning a little closer to home. I hope to meet like minded people and make friends
I am concerned about so many things happening in the world today and hope that by sharing and caring that we can make a difference.
Hi Catherine, welcome to the group, I'm in the north east, we had the flooding last year this time, though luckily apart from my driveway, I was OK. I hope it hasn't affected you too badly.
Check out the freecycle groups online, they are good for flood victims, the local Morpeth group have only just offered up it's donations to all since the flood victims have all they want now, but they are also very good for people setting up for the first time, or anew.
Hi everyone, I'm Cee and live in The the North West of England, towards Scotland - (We're pretty flooded out right now!) Saw this group, and of course it gave me hope that there'd be a sight like this but in the U.K. You all seem really lovely, interesting people, and i'm looking foward to getting to know you all better. From what i see, yes it's great to meet so many like-minded people all in the same group There are SO many ways that we can all help, simply by giving support and advice, and my big issues are to help WOMEN and CHILDREN who face living in violent enviroments, who find the courage to get out, get their children out and get themselves to a place of safety. Once they've done that, and their situation has calmed down a little, maybe we could be here to offer them that support to STAY strong., and get stronger each day. I was married to my children's father, who turned violent during my first pregnancy and remained that way until i found the courage to get out of the situation. That was after my second child was born - both my children were both premature baby's, premature by three months (due to the violence). He damaged me so badly, both physically and emotionally that the scars have stayed with me to this day, but i've found COURAGE and find even more from, helping women and children in similar circumstances. VIOLENCE of ANY KIND to ANY HUMAN BEING is denying people of their basic HUMAN RIGHTS. We are ALL ENTITLED to those HUMAN RIGHTS ! It's good to see you all, and please drop by my profile ??, or e-mail me ? Let me know any of your ideas of how you think we could help? Or even just stop by for a chat ? All have a beautiful, happy week., and take it as easy. PEACE, and LOVE Cee

Pearl has been busy, lol...thank you Pearl...and welcome to the group Sue and Monika.
I been invited by Pearl, I very appreciate that....I am living in Italy now, before I was living in UK for 5 years, I do respect RSPCE and I wish that other country in Europe will follow that organization and learn from their achievements
You're welcome Sue!
Thanks for joining
Thank you Pearl for your kind invitation to CARE2 UK. I know there are many issues the U.S. and U.K. can work on together. It seems I already have more friends from the U.K and other places than the U.S. Wasn't intentional, just the way it worked out. But I can tell you one thing. You are some hard working dedicated people and I am honored that you invited me.
I am Sue and I live in Texas. I am involved in several groups:Warriors for the Voiceless, Elephant Lovers, Texas Pound Reform just to name a few.
Tey this next time:
Although with a healthy diet and plenty of vitC I never get colds or flu.
Oooh, I was looking for a pencil sharpener and found a £10...I have a habit of putting the odd note somewhere either for pocket money for the kids or something else in mind and completely forget about it, lol. So times like this when I unexpectedly find money, it's a bonus, I think I'll use it to treat myself to a desk pencil sharpener that I can't lose, lol.
What is it with viruses these days? When I was a kid, the drs said they would clear up in 2-3 days, then it went up to approx 10days and now it's even longer. If that wasn't enough the viruses themselves have worse symptoms, I have one right now which started as a sore throat a couple of days back and it hits me now with vertigo. This is the 2nd time in 3 months I've been like this, the last time the Dr gave me tablets which made me feel worse, I'm just going to sit it out with echinacea this time round.
Hi Skevi, my late hubbie's nephew is in Cyprus, he is half greek Cypriot and half British. Last I heard he was working on a ship over there, I've only met him once, very nice young man.

sorry didn't say hello sooner (been busy). Of course you are welcome here, the more the merrier
So sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope your life will be better soon. %#&!*%
Hi Susan, welcome to the group and C2...Gary, thank you for your NW and you are welcome to the green star.
I have been pretty quiet in C2 over the last year due to several family problems, I belong to a family that pulls together and shares the load and when each individual family in our family gathering suffers problems of it's own at the same time it becomes very hard. Added to that my old dog got progressively more sick this past year and just a few days back I had to help her pass over. One problem is righting itself in my immediate family, unfortunately making it more diffucult for another (sounds cryptic, I know, lol) so I'm hoping for myself at least I will be more settled.
Hi, I'm Susan and have just joined this group. New to the care2 scene as well only joined on Thursday.
Thanks Alf and Chris for warm welcome,
I'm from Poland and I'm still looking for MY place in the world (I was traveling a lot. I've been living in Germany for two years).
And probably will never find ...
Hello Everyone nice to make your acquaintance...
Yep I'm new to the group and the Gay scene...wow what a mine field !...As you can see by my profile and sideways picture...I'm also really quite shy too and if it was'nt for this forum my communication with like minded people would be very limited indeed, for that I truely thank you..Exceptance and tolerence of persons of different alternative life styles is very important to me. Equal opportunity is of the utmost importance, we have come a long way unyet there is a ways to go....Love to you all....Gary Morris (Reading)
Of course you are welcome, you live here too which is a bonus
There are LOTS of ARA's here if you want I can introduce you. You going to Oxford this Sat? If so PM me OK.
Where you from anyway??
This post was modified from its original form on 15 Apr, 4:36
LOL Joanna, we don't kick people out...though I did oust a spammer last week, but normally everyone is welcome no matter where they are and where they come from.
I'm not Brit at all, I've been living in UK since last May (Northampton, East Midlands) - if you want you can kick me out.
I'm here to post UK news/events/actions for animals. There are many important causes in UK, and however Care2 is dominated by US members, there are also people from UK who I hope care about animal rights.
Hi Just wanted to say hello.
Im 57 years, live in S west England. I have 3 grown up children & 5 grandchildren.
Just wanted to say to you all.
I'm 31, married mother of one and I live in Wolverhampton, West Midlands
greetings to hosts and members,
am new to this group; I�ve been a friend of the English language since my childhood�, therefore� of the UK. I�d often travel to England, years ago. I�had friends in Manchester. I don�t know how often I�ll particpate in discussions, as it�s certainly important to know a bit about what�s going on in England -maybe important, I don�t know-. I�ll see...One more word about me, I love Nature I have a special relation with, can�t live without humor, and this is not just words. I set my own lyrics to music on keyboard; Easy on the ear, things I�ve experienced myself or I picture some situation, so the like...Hope, I�ll post some time...Have a good weekend, every one !
Thanks for the invite, Chris!
My profile tells you all the usual stuff about me. A widow iving in Suffolk.� I do loads of Greenpeace stuff and part time live on a road protest site.
Ouch Barbara, it's no fun being housebound, my step dad is bedbound, had been for two years now, he was just getting into using the computer before he had to take to his bed but has given it up now, all he seems to do is watch TV and sleep.
I rarely watch TV, so I don't know that programme at all, though I bet my kids do.
It's one of those areas some of us disagree on,� I do not see it as a castle, and don't think I ever will.� It was built and used as a fortified priory�until it was surrendered by the priory's 19 catholic monks to�Henry VIII in 1539,�after which�it was used as a military stronghold.
In England and Wales, King Henry VIII (1509 to 1547) claimed the right to become supreme authority over church and split with the Rome Catholic Church, he took control on the monastic life and, on the other, his need for money to fund his warfare and to cure the ever-mounting debt he had. In 1536, Parliament Act ordered all the monasteries valued less than �200 per annum or less, masking the financial motive behind a moral facade. August 1536 Henry sent out his officials under Cromwell control (who later lost his head) to visit the monasteries ostensibly to ensure that they followed royal instructions, but in reality to assess their wealth and report back to him.
The insurgents were suppressed as ruthlessly as the abbots who refused to suppressed their houses several dissenting monks were tortured and executed. Henry continued with his persecution of his religious opponents.
Check out my lastest pic post in my UK album...
No worries, you're forgiven...I've looked at some of your photos...one thing I should point out, the ruins at Tynemouth is a priory not a castle, though when all that is left is a lot of rubble, thay all look the same, lol.�
Have you been to the Roman fort at South Shields?� (It's free admission...or at least it was last time�I went) There's one rebuilt at Wallsend, but I've not seen that one yet.� Depending on how long you are in Newcastle and your plans, you could get to both easily on the Metro.
I'll see if I can find some info tomorrow and post about it
Away with the fairies half the time I think.
I'm sure you'll appreciate internet security for us single ladies, this is an open group and I wouldn't recommend that anyone, male or female gives out their location.�
I will go as far as to say that I can�get to Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, North and South Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead, Co Durham and Cumbria and Lancashire areas with little effort.� Technically�I should be able to get to Sunderland, though it's been so long since I've been there, I'd probably get lost, and no doubt they have complicated one ways systems in operation.
Ya Alreet?� Hope you are fine.� I was there from 24 Apr-5 Jun this year.� Will be returning in Nov.� Are you still in South Shields?� Peace
I'm Nicholas from NC.� I've been to Northumberland several times and a confirmed Anglophile.� What a wonderful place.� Am going back in Nov, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne(the Diamond of the North).� Would love to connect with Brits across the pond.� Check my albums for some Northeast castle pics.

Perhaps I� should be saying I`m stupid, cause when I joined the other day I didnt�see this `introduce yourself` thread & I wrote to the host saying there was no `welcome thread` lol.� Mind you, I do find it more difficult to read the small print & that is why I post in bigger size text, so thats why I probably missed seeing it.�� My excuse & I`m sticking to it.

Hullo all! Nice to meet you, virtually.
what's with the smiley things? how do they work?
I`m Rick in the U.S.��� With not being in the U.K. perhaps I ought not to be here.��� I post alot of news in the C2 network messages group, some of which includes UK news, so I ran a search to see if there were any UK groups which might benefit from it & I found this one.��
A few days ago however I vowed to leave Care2, but being as I had nominated the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary for an Award I decided it would be better to at least keep my profile until the voting for that was over.
Today I came back making other news posts,whilst I had spotted a good News story on BBC about Greenland & DNA evidence about how it was warm there in the past.��
I have arrived, thank you for the invite Chris
Right thats it I am now off for a few days see you all when I get back LOL.
Me and the Family have been booked to work at A Country Affair on Clapham Common so if any of you are around that way come and look�us up and we will make you a cuppa, we will be arriving tomorrow night (friday 25th May and leaving on Tuesday 29th.
It looks like a fun event

Sarah, Pete, Paul and David, Hi and welcome...David, there's something about computers that make all of us dyxlexiwotsit, I have a similar thing with numbers, I know it as number blindness, I thought I was thick at school not being able to understand basic arithmetic.� It wasn't until long after leaving, my mother told me she had this and apparantly it tends to run in families.� Funnily enough it's quite common I found out my brother in law has it too.
Sarah, we are all kind of finding out feet here, so just jump in with whatever you think people may be interested in, particular from your neck of the woods.
Lots of familiar faces here. Feels like home inhere hahaha. oh yeh it is!

Great to see a UK specific group, so much happening here that people are blind to and happy to let happen.
I see they will�bring in a tracker device on your cars by 2010, is this for charging for using main roads, well yes but the big one will be that you can be fined for speeding multiple times every day without any human intervention, big money !
Taking DNA from babies to see if they may become a criminal, watch what happens when that child grows up, has a family and tries to get life insurance " Oh sorry your DNA shows you could be prone top **** disease the premiuim will be very high or we may not want to cover you at all.
Well I'd better stop�before I bore you all, I could go on all night.
I will help all I can.
Take care, Paul.�
Thank you for the kind invite Paul those who Know me already will understand I am very very busy bunnie calling for peace in the east� through avaaz and the afsc and any British issue, the wolf is at my door for my efforts -he has to stay outside i do wothout food often i will do this untill i reach my goals i will galdly give my life to reach my goals-�forgive posting without saying hullo, manners sometimes betray me.

Hello to all Brits and honourary Brits! My name is Iain and I run some Big Cat groups here on Care2 and various BLOGS as well.It's great to see some UK involvement here! Lets keep it going!!
Although I've had numerous offers to join groups......I normally don't check them out....Due to the time I have online being rather limited ......& by checking them out you're automatically made a member!
& to me there's no point in being in� a group you haven't time to participate in!
but I DO feel it's neccessary to try to support anything specifically UK related..especially where animal welfare....or UK legislation is concerned!
I live in SW cornwall....& am cornish by birth,..so don't worry about your spelling versions Beth...if I were to spell in the cornish dialect we'd all be in trouble.... me included....lol!
I will do my best to pop in every few days....& will check out the other 2 uk based sites also..thanks again andie!
Hello, I'm Eliza from County Durham.� I very much enjoy being here at Care2 and find lots in common with my American, Canadian, etc. friends, but it's nice to be part of a U.K. group.� After all, it is the best country in the world. � I'm proud of the U.K. and passionate about animals, so I know that I'll be at home here.�
Thank you Andy for the invite.
Hi All, I'm Elizabeth from Isle of Man.... actually a Kiwaussie living in IOM...been up�here since 2003 and�have been on Care2 for about 3 years.... nice to meet you all...
Thanx Chris I'm honored to be asked.
I'm George, been on Care2 for a while, it's good to see another uk based group set up.
Hi Bev, Andy and Alf, welcome to the group....and you are right Andy, we need to make this group work, otherwise we will fade away into USdom, lol.
Don't worry Bev, you'll fit right in and in time lose your typing accent.
Just thought I'd post a quick intro here as the newest kid on the block. I'm Bev and I live in West Sussex. I just want to add that I am an import (originally from New Jersey) so you will likely notice that I, well, spell with an accent.
Be glad you don't have to hear me 'tawk'!
I hope to be able to contribute here and take part in some good, thought provoking discussions!
This is the third site I know with a Brit/UK focus. other 2 are:
En-Act UK: Environmental Action in the UK
Although I think the last one is starting to die, too bad it was very well intentioned. I think wot we should do is invite all our brit contacts to the group to really try to make a go of it. If you see a brit based member invite them along. Lets get enough of us togeather to be able to make a difference in the UK. If we can have enough active members it will make it easier to petition MPS etc. Lets do it!
Let me know what you want me to do, OK?
Hi, I live in the north east, near Newcastle upon Tyne, not quite a geordie, I was born and raised in south Shields, so that makes me a sand-dancer.�
I have 3 kids, the eldest from my 1st marriage is married and has recently given me my 2rd grandaughter.� My two boys from my second marriage (I'm now�a widow) are teenagers, hense the grey hairs and worry lines, lol.

I'm wondering if anybody knows a way to show the "Recommendations from Friends". I run a "fan page" for my business, and a few of my friends have posted some reviews. I'd like those reviews to show up in a sidebar on my page (almost exactly like they do on the fan page).
As far as I can tell, this is different from the current SFC Facebook Recommendations widget, which "just" shows who recommends the page. I want to feed the actual comments from "recommendation from friends" to my page. I wonder if there is a restriction on who can view the comments - are they "publicly feedable"?

NHL Game Day 2/11: Lightning at DevilsSubmitted by pete on February 11, 2007 - 22:20
For anyone who felt the urge to hurl themselves head first off the bandwagon after one bad game in New York, no worries. Your seat was saved.
Johan Holmqvist stopped 21 of 22 shots faced for the win. Vincent Lecavalier, who any other year would be a runaway favorite for MVP except for the rise of Pittsburgh phenom Sidney Crosby, paced the Lightning with 1 goal and 2 assists. Vaclav Prospal added 1 goal and 1 assist and Brad Richards had a pair of helpers. The other Lightning goals came from The Secret Weapon, Nick Tarnasky and The Most Underrated Star in the NHL, Dan Boyle. Martin St. Louis, Cory Sarich and Doug Janik added individual assists.
The win temporarily closed the Lightning within 5 points of Atlanta for the division lead with Atlanta slated to play Edmonton late out west. If there's one benefit to posting a game recap late, it's that I get to include that Atlanta is losing to the Oilers 4-1 after two periods. So, barring an incredible comeback by the Thrashers, the Lightning will not only have closed the gap to 5 points but they will hold 2 games in hand and they still have two head to head matchups with Atlanta still on the schedule. The division is within the Lightning's reach, so long as they continue to play well and keep one eye on Atlanta and one eye on Carolina which is also running the Thrashers down.
First Period
New Jersey 2:12, Scott Gomez 10 (power play) (Patrik Elias, Jamie Langenbrunner)
Second Period
Tampa Bay 0:44, Vaclav Prospal 9 (Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis)
Tampa Bay 17:24, Nick Tarnasky 3 (Brad Richards, Cory Sarich)
Tampa Bay 18:12, Vincent Lecavalier 35 (Vaclav Prospal, Doug Janik)
Third Period
Tampa Bay 0:56, Dan Boyle 12 (power play) (Brad Richards, Vincent Lecavalier)

Weber to Sell Chiefs?Submitted by pete on February 11, 2007 - 15:22
I really hate to get involved in rumor mongering, especially when it comes to the business side of hockey. That's why I've avoided posting about the reported cuts coming in the Lightning's hockey operations budget that are slated to occur this summer. I do, however, think it's important to talk about yesterday's story by Erik Erlendsson in the Trib which suggests the Lightning may be looking to sell their stake in the Johnstown Chiefs. Faced with declining attendance, a small and aging arena and a market which doesn't boast much in the way of large corporate benefactors, I have little doubt that Johnstown is losing money at a relatively large rate for an ECHL franchise and that, as such, PS&E may very well be looking to divest themselves of their stake in the team. There is, after all, a healthy chance the Chiefs franchise may have to move in the near future and rumors are swirling that decision may have already been made. Then again, Erlendsson also points out the Lightning may choose to buy the Chiefs franchise outright and move the team to a larger market.
The fiscal uncertainty of the Chiefs franchise unfortunately comes in the first year of the Lightning's new approach toward actively operating the organization's developmental apparatus not only at the "AAA" level in the AHL but also at the "AA" level down in the ECHL. The project has had mixed results to this point, but I hope the Lightning don't abandon the idea altogether. The new philosophy, in my view, has a lot of merit and deserves more time even if the Lightning do have to sell their stake in the Chiefs and possibly sign on with a different ECHL affiliate.

NCAA Game Night: 2/10Submitted by Nigel on February 11, 2007 - 00:27
Dusty Collins was scoreless and even in Northern Michigan's 4-1 loss to Ohio State. Collins' has now failed to register a point in 17 consecutive games. His last point came on an assist on Dec. 2, 2006 against Lake Superior. The Wildcats are off next weekend and will conclude the regular season at home against Miami Ohio on Feb. 23 and 24.
Mike Lundin picked up an assist on #9 Maine's only goal in the Black Bears 1-0 win over #14 Vermont. The helper was Lundin's 10 assist of the season and 16th point. The defenseman finished the weekend series sweep over the Catamounts with two goals and an assist. The sweep helped move the Black Bears over Vermont in the HEast standings and into a tie for third with Boston College, who plays Boston University on Monday in the Beanpot championship. Vermont's Art Femenella was scratched for the second straight game.

AHL Game Night 2/10: Wolf Pack at FalconsSubmitted by pete on February 10, 2007 - 23:39
Holy crap! Can we make the next home game "Jean Trudel Night?"
Gerald Coleman turned in a sparkling 36 saves on 38 shots faced effort but the story of the night was the goal scoring explosion by new Falcon Kyle Wanvig who scored a hat trick to go along with a 1st period throw down in what has to qualify as the most dominating effort by a Falcons forward this season. David Spina assisted on all 3 Wanvig goals and Daniel Corso netted Springfield's other 2 goals. Matt Smaby and Norm Milley each had a pair of assists and freshly recalled Brandon Elliot chipped in an individual helper before being tossed out for being the third man in during Wanvig's first period brawl. The point was the first of Elliot's AHL career and it came on the night where the Springfield organization retired the jersey of former Falcon Rob Murray. Wanvig, Spina and Coleman were the game's three stars.
On a sour note, the Falcons were outshot 38-18 in the contest. Still, this was the first night in roughly a couple of months where Springfield got scoring balance from their first and second lines, which undoubtedly was part of the thought behind the decision to pull the trigger behind the Andy Delmore trade. Unfortunately, with Springfield now 9 points out of a playoff spot the shot in the arm likely comes about 3-4 weeks too late.
First Period
SPR Wanvig, (11) (Spina, Elliott), 1:10
SPR Corso, (11) (Smaby, Milley), 12:55 (PP)
Second Period

CHL Game Night: 2/10 (Updated 2/11)Submitted by chad on February 10, 2007 - 23:34
Chris Lawrence had an off night, but Mississauga was able to get a road win in Sudbury, 3-2 over the Wolves. Lawrence went scoreless, breaking his 9 game point streak. He was also minus-1. Lawrence registered 11 goals and 8 assists during his 9 game point streak. He was plus-11 during that time span, also.
Marek Bartanus' modest 2 game point streak ended tonight at home when he did not register a point in the Attack's 3-2 loss to Kitchener. Bartanus had an even rating for the game.
The end of the season can't come soon enough for last-place Erie. They are consistently giving up 45 or more shots and lately have been doing well to allow fewer than 5 goals a game. Kevin Beech was given the night off tonight, getting a bench seat for Erie's 7-2 home loss to Sault Ste. Marie.
In the WHL, a night after beating the Winter Hawks 9-0, Prince George defeated Portland 6-2. Vladimir Mihalik scored his sixth goal of the year - a second period marker that turned out to be the game winner. He was also plus-2.
Everett suffered a rare home loss, falling to Seattle 6-2. Dane Crowley was scoreless and minus-2.

ECHL Game Night 2/10: Nailers at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on February 10, 2007 - 23:25
.500 and moving on up.
Morgan Cey, who has been awesome this year, stopped 39 of 41 shots faced for the win. The Chiefs were paced by veteran Jean Desrochers' 2 goals and Randy Rowe's 2 assists. Johnstown got their other goals from Eric Przepiorka (who in my mind has shaped up to be a keeper), Adam Henrich and John Adams. PJ Atherton, Ryan Gibbons, Maxime Boisclair, Dimitri Tarabrin and Geoff Waugh had individual helpers. Cey, Desrochers and Henrich were the game's three stars. Johnstown was actually outshot 41-21 in the contest.
The victory moves Johnstown back to .500 for the season at 20-20-4, 3 points back of 4th place Toledo.
First Period

In, Out, Up and UnsignedSubmitted by pete on February 10, 2007 - 21:18
There's been a pretty healthy conversation underway in the comments regarding the fate of Adam Henrich within the Lightning organization. One of the things I think that has been missing from the debate is a look at the bigger picture under the 50-man roster limit that the new CBA imposes on the NHL parent club. Prospects like Henrich who are in the final year of their NHL entry level contracts face the chance of being squeezed out by the new limits where they wouldn't have been under the old CBA. So, in order to understand the way the numbers game might play out, I think it's instructive to look at what prospects could be on the way in for next season:

CHL Game Night: 2/9Submitted by chad on February 10, 2007 - 15:53
Chris Lawrence continues to put up points, this time earning two assists in Mississauga's 6-3 win over Toronto on Friday night. The IceDogs had 60 shots in the game. Lawrence also had a fighting major in the third period against Rob Kweit. Lawrence was plus-1 for the game.
Marek Bartanus hit the scoresheet for the second game in a row after being held scoreless for 14 straight games when he notched a second period assist in Owen Sound's 6-3 loss in Plymouth. He had an even rating for the game.
According to one of the Ontario papers, Kevin Beech and Erie didn't figure to have much of a chance against OHL powerhouse Kitchener Friday night. The paper was right. The Rangers put 50 shots on Beech, who stopped 42 of them in an 8-3 loss. The game was 5-0 entering the third period.
After two losses, Prince George returned to their winning ways with a 9-0 shellacking of Portland in Prince George. Vladimir Mihalik had a shorthanded assist and a fight vs. Tayler Jordan. Jordan is a 6-6 winger with one goal and one point on the year to go with 93 PIM. Mihalik was plus-1.
Dane Crowley and Everett squeaked by Spokane 2-1 in Everett. Crowley was scoreless, but was on the ice for both of the Silvertips' goals to finish plus-2.

Posted 30 May 2012 - 07:44 PM
so i just finished building my short block on my LT1 i went with forged pistons and a stock bottom end with a high volume oil pump which came with my rebuild kit. So Im running a pretty big cam and and head package (LE1) that i bought from good old llyod elliot portworks in texas. my bottom end is built proper and torqued to specs and rods are torqued and degreed like told and everything was rebalanced due to the heavier pistons and just to be on the safe side. What my concern is should i have went with the ARP bolts rather then the stock, i know ARP bolts are stronger but do you think i should be fine? or should i pull the rods out and put ARP bolts in and if i do that, do i have to get the bottom end balanced again because that would cost me another $200 to do. so im needing advice if im safe the way i am or im not safe
