This David Grunfeld photo from Saints camp at The Greenbrier is what I call a "value-added" shot. What does that mean?
As a photojournalist, you're constantly looking for interesting ways to tell your readers the stories you're covering. In the case of practice Monday in West Virginia, a piece of that story was the weather: it was pouring rain, which made for a wet and sloppy practice.
Grunfeld could have simply showed us a bunch of wet players and that would have been ok. But instead he went out and shot a beautiful, gorgeous action photo--which also shows off each tiny raindrop as well. We get the great action shot, and the added value of the weather story, all rolled into this one image.
Technical Information: Canon EOS-1D X camera with 400mm f2.8 lens, 1/5000th second @ f2.8, ISO 1600.
Here's our 2014 Photo of the Day Gallery:
Why we're doing the Photo of the Day project:
Each day NOLA.com | The Times Picayune photo editor Andrew Boyd selects a "Photo of the Day" from photos taken the previous day by our staff of talented photographers. He'll then explain a bit about what went into the taking of that photograph, what the photographer had to contend with--a bit of a 'behind the scenes' look from the perspective of a working photojournalist. Look for this feature every morning and tell us what you think of the photo that was selected. You can add your comments and even photos to the comment stream below. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We look forward to building this gallery and eventually looking back on our year in photographs.

|Climate change retreat | 23-24 March 2010
The United Nations Resident Coordinator's Support Office, in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Physical Development, the Forests National Corporation, the United Nations Development Programme, and the United Nations Environment Program, hosted a retreat on climate change adaptation in Darfur, on March 23-24 2010 in El Fasher, North Darfur.
The meeting provided a unique opportunity for decision makers from the Government of Sudan, the United Nations, and international partners to discuss the challenges climate change presents the people of Darfur in the coming years and learn more about how communities across the Sahel are adapting and thriving.
This site serves to organize documents, presentations and contacts related to the retreat. For more information please contact the United Nations Resident Coordinator' Support Office or the United Nations Environment Programme in Sudan.

I am a GOLD FF member with AA and a Silver Elite with DL.
Next year I will need to pick one of them to continue my business which is mainly travel to Europe and South America. Which one should I pick? Both DL/AA have similar mediocre inflight service compared to European and Asian airlines, so I would like to take advantage to their international partners for longer flights. Any insights would be appreciated.
OW/AA -- easier to redeem miles, I can choose emergency exit seat at time of booking, more fligths to GIG, but very few non stop flights to Europe from LAX, and I almost always need to connect in LHR or MIA (Urgh...to LHR and MIA) -- limited options for European airlines ( BA/LHR or IB/MAD and IB sucks in my opinion)
SKY/DL -- harder to redeem miles, I can only get an emergency exit seat at the airport (if lucky), better flight options to Europe (including flying AF and KL non stop and connecting in AMS or CDG), good vibs from DL flight crew and a decent schedule to GIG.
Anyone has any more pros and cons to add to the list?

Ethan & Steven - Badpuppy
Models: Steven Ponce and Ethan Slade
Studio: Badpuppy
22 year old Ethan comes to us from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Steven is 31 years old and from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Ethan is in Ft. Lauderdale, staying with a friend for a long weekend. Both Ethan and Steven arrive to the gym first thing in the morning, as Ethan stands in the locker room in his jock strap, Steven gazes over and can't resist attempting an encounter with Ethan. They engage in some hot kissing action, followed by Steven dressing down to his jock strap. After some foreplay, Ethan drops to his knees, giving Steven a round of oral action, which obviously is to Steven's liking. Steven drops to his knees and the role is reversed, as he devours Ethan's hard cock. He moves to Ethan's ass and begins rimming him. Ethan sits down on Steven's stiff cock and goes for a ride. They flip flop and Ethan takes Steven for a pleasure ride, where Steven squirts a helluva load across his entire torso and face. Ethan rubs on out, creaming him abs to face as well!

Warner Brothers Cheaps Out on President Street Block Association
The people who live on President Street are no strangers to film and television production crews taking over their block, and they've gotten smart about asking the production companies for a donation to their block association for the inconvenience when they take away all the parking and park generators in front of their homes. According to our tipster, they've never gotten less than $500 from TV shows like Boardwalk Empire and White Collar.
As we all know, this week the movie The Intern was filming for two days on 7th and Lincoln, and apparently, they blocked off President Street between 7th and 8th with cones, just for parking their Haddad trailers. When the block association approached the production for their usual kickback donation, they were told that the best they could probably do was $200, if anything, and said they only ended up using 1/3 of the block for parking (even though they closed the entire street), so, you know, discount. Needless to say, the block association is pretty pissed off, given that the budget for a Warner Bros. movie starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway is probably a fuck-ton higher than freaking White Collar. They also had the balls to ask the rep from the block association for help making nice with the 7th Avenue business owners.
Do all block associations get money from the film companies when they take over the joint?

To the Editor:
I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the Deptford Township Free Public Library.
I am an active volunteer for the Battleship New Jersey. Recently, I did a program at the library pertaining to the battleship.
Library Director Arn Winter, his assistant Jean and their staff were terrific. Anything I wanted or needed was there, always provided with a friendly, helpful attitude. The library "crew" just couldn't do enough for myself and the BB62.
A very successful, standing-room-only, night made me proud to be a member of this library.

The Coloring Of The Mind - A New Hot Therapy To Treat Depression!
Colors Are Mood Enhancers and Stress Relievers
(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 30, 2014 ) Annandale, VA -- Revealing The Secret of The Mind
Cellulite Massager Silicone Brush
Cellulite Massager Silicone Brush
There is a unique and innovative therapy for people who suffered with mild depression! The Coloring of the Mind concept is becoming a powerful force in the medical world in treating depression. Clients can possibly improve their mood without taking expensive medications, decreasing their weekly Psychotherapist visits and can do some simple techniques naturally in the comfort of their home. The Coloring of the mind is a new form of alternative therapy. It involves using colors that involves an harmonious and daily energy balance.
Different colors can treat different kind of depression. Blue is a calming color for those whose depression is based on stress and anxiety. Yellow and orange encourage joy. Red is a stimulating color, and is used in color therapy to treat those who feel lethargic. White is an excellent color of those who suffer from seasonal depression, and green, which is a vital color, is good for treating all kinds of depression.
Color therapy is growing in popularity, particularly for those who are suffering from depression. There are many color therapy products on the market, including color therapy bath beads, soap, and lotions. You can purchase thin, plastic lenses to place over your light source to make the entire room a certain light, or purchase colored bulbs. You can even purchase colored sunglasses in the shade of your choice. There are several physicians who are embarking on unique and innovative tools for treating their clients, such as Dr. Peter Whorwell of University Hospital South Manchester, co-author the Colors We Revealed research. The study found that people with depression or anxiety were more likely to associate their mood with the color gray, while happier people preferred yellow. "This is a way of measuring anxiety and depression which gets away from the use of language," says Dr. Whorwell. "What is very interesting is that this might actually be a better way of capturing the patient's mood than questions."
Dr. Pullman who is an Psychiatrist and founder of Audrey's Grief Expressionist consulting company has done research and explored various ways how colors can affect a person mood. She stumbled across these findings when she was treating a patient with mild depression. Dr. Pullman had received some red, white and yellow roses. The patient walked into the office and marveled at the different colors, and there was an immediately positive effect on her. What happened? There was a coloring of her mind. These cool colors evoked her emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort; which shifted her thoughts and improved her mood.
Dr. Pullman has created a Mood Enhancer Cellulite Massager Silicone brush that comes in two colors yellow and green; and currently selling at Buy Two And Get One Free! There are relaxation techniques included with each packaging to show how a simple thing like colors can boost your mood and relieve stress.
Things are changing because many people who suffer from depression see quick results from a color therapy treatment and there are more physicians embarking on this new and innovative modality of treatment which provides clients with more treatment options.

Pre-Pregnancy Body!
I'd love, love, LOVE to get back down to the tiny size I was at before I had my 1 year old daughter.
me too!! I'm down to lower than my pre preggo #2 weight....now I've got my sights set on my pre preggo #1 weight!! It's taking me a ton of discipline though with my diet right now!! good luck!
I say make small goals and work your way to the weight as it was before. After my son it wasn't that hard for me, it just seemed to take longer then other people I know but shortly after his 1st birthday I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but since having my daughter 2 yrs ago I have finally decided it's time to do something myself cause it's not going to work the same as before. I have rode my bicycle for almost every day since the 1st of the month. I have lost 10lbs, I don't feel like it yet..but another 18 days and I'll be feeling and looking better!
I had a baby girl 9 months ago and decided to take action myself to lose the weight I gained when I was pregnant that was still lingering on.... I had my husband go on a Diet with me and that REALLY helped with my motivation/commitment. We started eating healthier and started taking Herbalife, he lost a whopping 21 lbs in 2 months and I lost 19 lbs. We both feel great and have tons more energy. I think if you set a goal/eat the right way and possibly take natural supplements like we did with Herbalife you will lose the weight in no time.... I did, you can too :)
Literally this was my shopping list and most everything was organic...I shed off the weight faster than I could imagine without even trying.
Here is what I shopped for and never got side tracked by junk...
Don't use premade seasonings instead go to the spice bulk section and get tumeric, chili powder, bay leaves, curry powder, cumin, and sea salt....I cook way too much Mexican food so there are the only spices I mix together. You can use any other spice.
Organic chicken...chickens aren't pumped with steroids and honestly that goes into the chicken that goes into whoever eats the chicken.
Brown rice
organic whole Milk
Organic Corn
Purple cabbage
Stoneyfield whole milk yogurt french top or plain
Tomatoes onions
Organic butter
Organic eggs
Green peppers
Organic beans
Organic flour
Organic yeast to make my own bread when i wasnt lazy
Whole grain bread for when i was lazy not whole wheat but whole grain!!
Organic spaghetti noodles with only semolina as an ingredient
Cinnamon sticks for tea.
Only coconut oil for cooking.
I can go on but im sure you get the point....only this type of food and i got all of these things organic but i put organic on things i though needed to be organic.
This was the only things i got that werent organic and "whole foods"
Homemade tortillas at a small mexican store
Cheese...i tried my hardest to stay away from yellow cheese and stuck with mazzerella since there was no colors added. Also only block cheese.
Daisy sour cream
Flordias natural orange juice...no preservatives or sugar
We also never had any juice in the house unless it was fresh squeezed they add way too much stuff to that.
We never had things in the house that would make me lose eating healthy...never had ice cream ketchup mayo basically any dip...lunch meats highly processed fake cheese pudding canned soup....hell no to top ramen lol no chips unless they were tortilla or potato chips with no preservatives no msg so basically just salt.....like lays original and almost any tortilla chips.
I never craved junk though because i watched the movie food inc on youtube and did some research. I have also watched sicko mary toco "are vaccines safe" peta videos on factory farms and really it all adds up and they seem to all connect together....its kind of creepy. I would highly suggest watching food inc though its a good way to get influenced and start eating healthier and try learning how to read labels.....sorry this is sooooo long im super tired and halfway asleep
Good luck. When i only ate whole foods i weighed 130 after birth and dropped to a size 0 in 2 months with no exercise at all...im not even joking. It was nice but 0 was too skinny for me...i like being a size 1 but i am also 4'11 lol
First off, remember, you have to work on it! It won't happen overnight, but eventually you'll get there! good luck and hugs!

Top local stories ones of tragedy, community
2013 was a year of heartbreak and hope in Seneca County.
My reflections about the top 10 news stories of the year, as selected by the staff of The Advertiser-Tribune, follow.
The top news story of the year was a devastating one. In September, a fire at Highland Park Estates Mobile Home Park claimed the lives of a man and five children while their mother was at work. It was a dark day in Seneca County's history. Anna Angel was faced with the loss of her five young children, her boyfriend, her home and her belongings all at the same time in the fire.
In the wake of the devastation, the community came together and rallied behind her. A passerby and first-responders did all they could to save the family. Behind-the-scenes personnel orchestrated a rescue effort and investigation. School officials came together to help students maneuver their way through the grieving process with two empty chairs in two elementary school classrooms. People prayed and organized benefits.
Even though I have seen repeatedly people's willingness to help those in need, I still was overwhelmed with the outpouring of support.
The news story that ranked second for 2013 was the shooting of a woman and her mother in Fostoria during the summer. Calvin B. Dixson was found guilty of aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder in October, three months after the crimes that killed Lisa Stowers and injured her daughter, Tyeesha Snowden. He is to spend the rest of his life in jail.
Third on our staff list was weather wreaking havoc on the area, including flooding and summer tornadoes. Several times throughout the year, people's lives were turned upside down as severe weather rolled through the area.
Fourth on the list was evacuees heading to Tiffin after being forced from their homes by a train derailment in Willard and the community coming together to help. Several local restaurants agreed to donate hundreds of coupons for free food to help the families affected by the evacuations at Thanksgiving time.
Three events tied for fifth on our list: A shooting at Carey Conservation Club claimed two lives. A man allegedly shot at deputies and burned down his house. A fire at T.J. Willie's closed the restaurant, and it reopened months later. The shooting incidents remain in court at this time. Fortunately, T.J. Willie's was back in business in time for the holidays.
Eighth on our list was state championships by Lakota's Makayla Dull and Calvert's Olivia Smith. Winning a state title is an incredible accomplishment of which the entire community can be proud. It certainly show that hard work pays off.
Ninth on our list is Whirlpool Corp. being sued in light of the Clyde cancer cluster. Last month, Whirlpool Corp. released findings from a site assessment that showed there was no health risk or evidence of hazardous illegal dumping at the former Whirlpool Park.
And finally, our 10th news story of 2013 was the high incidence of fatal accidents, including the death of two brothers and two drivers. By the middle of July, the number of people who had been killed on Seneca County roadways in 2013 already was approaching the number from all of 2012.
Certainly, Seneca County had its share of heartbreaking situations in 2013. But one thing is for sure: When those unfortunate events occur, family, friends and strangers will be right there to help, and a story I stumbled upon on Christmas Eve is proof of that. I had received a private message through The Advertiser-Tribune's Facebook account that Duchess Lane was flooded. There was no newspaper published on Christmas Day, but I thought it would be a good idea to head there anyway to get photographs for Facebook and Thursday's edition.
As I drove down Duchess Lane toward the water, a group of people with kayaks caught my attention. I scrambled to put on boots and grab the camera before the people had a chance to float down the road. Unsure of what was happening, I walked up to the water's edge, only to find out that the strangers were going to save Christmas for 5-year-old Eliana Randell by rescuing her presents from her home.
I was in awe of their willingness to help this family in need and felt that the situation was a microcosm of how Seneca County residents respond in times of need. "(Tiffin is) a community of family and friends," said Joyce Randell, Eliana's grandmother.
Her words could not be more accurate. In trying times, others always are right there to help and lessen the burden for those who are struggling. Being surrounded by such caring, giving and unselfish individuals makes me proud to say I am from Seneca County.
May 2014 be your best year yet.

Game 19: About the walkoff interference
Not since 2006 had a Major League game ended with a strikeout-inference double play. In a game that featured a pair of two-out, ground-ball RBI singles from Miguel Cabrera, and a home run and a double from Rajai Davis, it was probably fitting.
It happened with a runner on first, one out, Jose Abreu at the plate, and Adam Dunn looming as the potential tying run on deck if Abreu reached base. Abreu didn't, striking out on a high fastball to end a 10-pitch battle with Joe Nathan.
His reaction, however, was what ended it. Either from frustration or momentum, Abreu stumbled out over the plate on his follow-through as catcher Bryan Holaday tried to throw to second, where Marcus Semien had gotten a jump on the pitch. The throw bounced off Semien and got away from Ian Kinsler covering the bag, but plate umpire Dan Iassogna had already called interference.
The call invokes Rule 7.09(e), which includes under the definition of interference:
Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate.
Otherwise, a batter who strikes out wouldn't have a lot of discouragement from trying to get in a way of a throw.
The call doesn't fall under the list of plays that can be considered on replay, so there was no challenge. White Sox manager Robin Ventura headed out for an explanation, but didn't put up much of an argument. He confirmed the interference call to reporters afterwards, as did Tigers manager Brad Ausmus.
"I did not get an explanation; I was trying to get into the clubhouse as quick as possible before they changed their mind," Ausmus said. "But my take was that the batter interfered with Doc Holaday's throw to second. I knew that was the end of the game."
According to research from STATS, it was the first such ending to a game since Aug. 8, 2006, when then-Ranger Mark DeRosa struck out and supposedly interfered with A's catcher Jason Kendall as he tried to throw out Jerry Hairston Jr. taking second. That was actually a one-run game at the time; Hairston was actually the potential tying run.
Thursday's lineups: Tigers at White Sox
The fourth left-handed starting pitcher is the charm for Danny Worth, who gets his first start at shortstop against White Sox southpaw Jose Quintana. If the starts hadn't made it clear this isn't really a platoon situation, manager Brad Ausmus said as much this morning.
"I don't know for sure. I'd say right now, the way Romine's playing, both offensively and defensively, he's kind of earned the bulk of the time right now," Ausmus said.
Likewise, Bryan Holaday gets the start behind the plate for Alex Avila.
On the Chicago side, Gordon Beckham is back off the disabled list and in the lineup at second base. Last night's hero, Marcus Semien, moves over to third base to continue building his resume as a Tiger killer.

Baton Rouge -- LSU's baseball team reasserted its identity as an elite baseball team this weekend by employing some identity theft.
The No. 16 Tigers entered the season on the low end of the national rankings but they should be rising fast today after a 10-2 victory against No. 6 Cal State-Fullerton gave them a sweep of the three-game series at Alex Box Stadium.
LSU (15-1) used the Titans' formula of strong pitching and small-ball offense to hand Fullerton its first sweep since Stanford did it in 2008. As usual, the Tigers got help from a regional tournament-type atmosphere as a school-record actual attendance of 27,194 combined to pass through the stadium gates for the three games.
"The key to the weekend was our starting pitching," LSU Coach Paul Mainieri said. "All three guys pitched great and gave us a chance to win.
"Offensively we beat them at their own game. We got them (batters) on, got them over and got them in. I'm sure Dave (Fullerton Coach Serrano) is disappointed in his team's defensive performance but a lot of it had to do with the pressure we put on them. They do that typically to the other teams. We executed bunt plays, stole some bases and got some clutch hits."
Senior right-hander Ben Alsup followed the lead of freshmen Kurt McCune and Kevin Gausman, the Friday and Saturday starters, by shackling the visitors on four hits in 6 2/3 innings with five strikeouts. For the third consecutive day, the Tigers' offense gave its starter a 2-0 lead in the first inning to set the tone.
LSU had more sacrifice bunts (4-2) and more stolen bases (12-7) than the visitors, and watched the Titans commit 10 errors to six for LSU. On an ironic note, Fullerton had the only home run in the series, its first of the season, on Saturday.
"We knew how good we were," said LSU center fielder Mikie Mahtook, who had two hits and four RBIs Sunday. "But anytime you sweep a team of this caliber it just helps that confidence build and grow. We wanted to come in today and not be satisfied with the series win. We wanted to go for the sweep."
This one was much more decisive than the previous two, both 7-6 scores. Fullerton aided the Tigers' cause Sunday with three errors in a five-run second inning combined with six stolen bases to put the visitors in a deep hole. After a middle-innings lull, Mahtook delivered a two-run single in the eighth for an emphatic finishing touch.
Alsup (3-1) wasn't perfect but managed his way out of trouble with double plays in each of the first two innings. He allowed one earned run and threw 112 pitches.
"The main objective was to throw strikes down the middle, let it move to the sides of the plate and see what they could do with it," Alsup said.
"I walked a couple and hit a couple and didn't let it get to me. I tried to stay as composed as I possibly could."
Fullerton starter Colin O'Connell was unable to match that. He issued his first walk of the season (22 innings) to Trey Watkins to start the game and after Raph Rhymes singled, Tyler Hanover moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt. Mahtook hit a run-scoring grounder and then Austin Nola doubled home another run.
O'Connell was his own worst enemy in the second. He committed an error on Jorday Snikeris' sacrifice bunt with a runner on first and after JaCoby Jones singled Snikeris to third, O'Connell threw a pickoff try into the stands.
Serrano lamented the way his team played all weekend
"It was a good old-fashioned southern butt whipping," Serrano said. "I tip my hat to Coach Mainieri and his team, whether it was freshman, junior, senior or sophomore, I felt their guys rose to the occasion all weekend when it mattered. I felt what I believed was a good team coming into Baton Rouge is leaving here with a lot of questions that need to be answered."
The sweep sets the Tigers up nicely for next weekend's showdown with No. 1-ranked Florida in the opening SEC series. LSU plays at Nicholls State on Wednesday.
"Overall, it was an outstanding performance by our guys throughout the weekend in many ways," Mainieri said. "It shows the kind of team we always believed we had from the start of fall practice. It's just nobody knew because we had so many new guys. I like where we're at. Our biggest games are still ahead of us."

I honestly don't find anything really special about this powder at all. As far it providing neutralizing benefits to my face, it goes on yellow, and it leaves a yellowish tint to my face no matter what. So, I definitely feel that it's neutralizing claims are overly exaggerated. You have to be very careful when applying it, as too much will make you look overly yellow, which isn't a good look. When it comes to providing oil control, it only happens to keep my face matte for about a few hours, before a touch up is needed. It is what I consider a necessity? Honestly no. There are much cheaper powders in the drugstores that work better than this one.

I don't use this 'yellow' powder every day, but when I want to come to a near perfect face, I get this out. You only need a small at and one swipe of a powder brush will get enough product onto your face. Gone is any redness around my nose - I'd buy it again, but I think I'll have this for years, so little is needed. Thanks, Stace.

First, a bit of disclaimer. My experience with this product is with a special package which was part of a set with a slim lipstick. The compact is black with a raised red rose on the top. The powder tablet itself is embossed with a rose. Gorgeous. The shade is soft yellow, and it is very sheer. It has some shimmer to it, but not disco ball level sparkle. I find the texture to be wonderful -- not too dry, not too dusty, not too creamy. It applies softly, but you can build it. The yellow does not read as "YELLOW" on my NW25 skin. It more or less blurs spots, neutralizes red, and sets makeup. I like this very much.

This is a nice powder. My skin is extremely yellow and it's hard to find a powder suits my skin tone. Most of them tend to tone the yellowness which I hate. This powder is perfect for setting my undereye concealer, it gives them a brightening effect. I also used this as a setting powder on my face once and it gave me a really a nice soft glow. The packaging is also cute but it is small. However I have replaced this with something very similar but in loose powder form, Ben Nye Banana powder.

I absolutely love this color and the way it went on, and looked. Unfortunately like so many products I could not wear. Clogged pores and broke out after several timed uses.

Ok I had to update my review because at first I didn't like this at all, I do not use this alone but rather after I use Meow Equilibrium to give my skin a more matte look when I need it, it is an ok powder a tad too powdery looking but still pretty nice and I do like the color.

I became a big fan of this after I impulse purchased it while watching HSN. The yellow shade is truly neutralizing; I use it over my concealer and it just blends right in. I have tried a few other products from YBF, but this is the only real winner I've found so far.

She looks so sad too be seperated by him.
Didn't it look like a whole lot of Lugage that Rob was pictured taken when he arrived in LA. I think he came back with all of Kristen's stuff since she's almost done filming SWATH. :)

There are some automotive silhouettes that people respond to and instinctively know.
For example, I have yet to meet the person who doesn't instantly recognize a Jeep or a Hummer.
Land Rover is another one that falls into that category. Their tall boxy shapes instantly conjure up images of African landscapes and jungle excursions, and even though most people's ideas of off-roading constitute a drive down Earhart Boulevard, buyers still love Land Rovers for their promise of adventure and air of glamour.
The good news for them is that the 2008 Land Rover LR2, with its starting price of $34,700, is low enough to let even newcomers wander into uncharted territory. The entry-level LR2, which replaces the Freelander, offers much of the off-road prowess that its bigger, more expensive siblings do, while ensuring smooth sailing on the pavement.
Comfort Level
One way to ensure a more unperturbed performance is to put the LR2 on a car chassis. The LR2 is built on Ford's C1 platform, the same one that underlies a number of its cars, including the Volvo S40 and the European version of the Focus, with the Volvo S80 sharing many of its components as well. The monocoque (literally "single shell") structure makes the LR2 more rigid and, with a larger 104.7-inch wheelbase, 2-plus-inches added to the length and a visibly wider body than the Freelander, the platform makes for a more stable and obviously roomier vehicle.
The change is readily apparent in the handling. Granted, as the smallest Landie in the lineup, you would expect the LR2 to be maneuverable, but this one is especially so. For example, though this vehicle has a 8.3-inch ground clearance and requires some effort to hop up inside, body lean was barely noticeable. In fact, the only time I really took note of it was when I performed turning radius tests. Okay, others did, but I'm more used to driving tall vehicles.
The LR2's high torsional rigidity, fully independent suspension, permanent all-wheel-drive system and nicely weighted power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering play their parts well, in addition to the chassis. Together they provide the LR2 the most nimble feeling in the lineup, but also ensure that it has a very comfortable ride. As a luxury vehicle, that's key.
Power Play
The LR2's engine is a bit unusual, being a transversely mounted 230-horsepower inline-six cylinder engine with 234 pound-feet of torque. Land Rover notes that inline-six engines (long a favorite of BMW) are known for their smooth operation, while mounting it transversely helps improve the vehicle's interior volume and safety. It also helps that it's one of the components shared with the Volvo S80, and since the family that shares together is also the corporation that saves money, I'm sure Ford Motor Company couldn't be more pleased.
The engine is a great deal more powerful than the one featured in the Freelander and moves from 0 to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds. Though that's not sports-car fast, it's a lot faster than the previous 10-plus second time of the Freelander and provides enough good off-the-line performance that the LR2 feels kind of zippy in around-town driving.
The engine is matched to a new smooth performing six-speed automatic transmission with Command Shift to allow for manual shifts and together the two earn EPA fuel mileage ratings of 16 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway.
Hitting The Dirt
Like all Land Rovers, the LR2 comes equipped with Terrain Response, which has specific settings for off-road conditions such as grass/gravel/snow; mud/rut; and sand modes and which tailors the anti-lock brakes, traction and stability controls to respond to each situation.
The LR2 doesn't have quite the same off-road capabilities as its siblings. But with Terrain Response, the aforementioned all-wheel-drive and 8.3-inch ground clearance, the vehicle's 29-degree approach and 32-degree departure angles, and its 19.7-inch wading depth, it's one of the best off-roaders in the segment.
Throw in other stabilizing factors such as the "Gradient Release Control," which aids the driver in steep, slippery conditions, Hill Descent Control), plus some excellent brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist and cornering brake control, and the LR2 peaks, literally and figuratively.
Insider Information
The LR2 is also a standout in comfort. I was surprised by the amount of rear seat room upon experiencing it, so I wasn't surprised to read it has some of the best-in-class numbers later. I also like the fact that the 60/40 split rear seat is also raised, theater-style. And the seats themselves are comfortable.
As for cargo, that carpeted area expands from 26.7 to 58.9 cubic feet and features a cargo cover, a rubber mat and numerous tie-down hooks.
The cabin itself is stuffed full of features and includes all the expected power features, including front seats with armrests, with all the comfy seats being swathed in leather. In addition, there's a dual-panel sunroof, a dual-zone automatic climate control system with a pollen filter and - get this - a humidity sensor, plus a variety of extra safety features such as seven airbags, rear park control, rain-sensing wipers and power headlamp washers.
One feature I wasn't so wild about was the keyless start. There's a start button all right, but you still have to push the key fob in before using it, so what's the point? You also have to hit the start button to stop the car and push/pull the fob back out. Once again, one step is better than two.
That said, I really liked the optional navigation system, which comes part of a $3,500 technology package with a Dolby surround sound system, satellite radio, rear seat audio controls and Bluetooth connectivity.
All these features are housed in a panoramic, undeniably upscale and very techy looking cabin. Getting in the 2008 Land Rover LR2 leaves no doubt that you are enjoying a very comfortable, but also very functional vehicle. And that's even before you take it on the road.
Or off.

Leaders and members of mainline denominations are being called to add their signatures to the Manhattan Declaration and stand for the "sanctity of human life, the dignity of marriage and the rights of conscience and religious liberty."
The Association for Church Renewal, an alliance of leaders representing conservative ministries within mainline Protestant churches, made the appeal Wednesday.
"[M]ake this public commitment as followers of Jesus Christ on behalf of the historic churches which once established the spiritual foundation of our nation," Association for Church Renewal President the Rev. David Runnion-Bareford urged. more >>
Though the Church has been criticized for being late to the HIV/AIDS fight, Christians around the world are now actively working to educate people about the deadly disease and dispel dangerous myths.
In Zimbabwe, The Evangelical Alliance Mission is working to educate the youth about treatment and medicine for those infected by the HIV virus. TEAM's effort is in response to a dangerous myth that is spreading across Africa that an HIV-positive man can be cured by having sex with a virgin. Because it is hard to find a virgin adult woman, many of these men are raping young girls and infecting them with the virus.
Mark Clark, based in TEAM's U.S. office, calls the myth the "Great Lie" that Satan is spreading throughout the continent, according to Mission Network News. more >>
A Little Falls, Minn., pastor recently spoke out about his decision to resign after his congregation rejected a motion to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The Rev. Nate Bjorge told the Brainerd Dispatch that First Lutheran Church's vote last month to stay in the ELCA called into question his effectiveness as a pastor.
"I was extremely disheartened," Bjorge told the local newspaper as he recalled the Oct. 11 vote. "I haven't been angry by this whole process. Sad might be a better word." more >>
A group of Lutherans announced Wednesday that they will begin work on a proposal for an alternate church body that would accommodate those who want to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
"Many ELCA members and congregations have said that they want to sever ties with the ELCA because of the ELCA's continued movement away from traditional Christian teachings," said the Rev. Paull Spring of State College, Pa., chair of Lutheran CORE (Coalition for Renewal).
The renewal group's steering committee made the announcement during its Nov. 17-18 meeting in Minnesota. more >>
The head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America reported that 40 positions may be cut as the denomination struggles financially.
"These have been very painful days in this organization," ELCA Presiding Bishop the Rev. Mark S. Hanson told the Church Council Friday, according to the ELCA News Service.
Lutherans are looking to reduce their 2010 budget by 10 percent due to decreased giving over the past 30 years, the economic downturn, and the decision by some congregations to withhold funding. more >>
A letter written by the vice president of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is being distributed to the church body's 4.6 million members in response to the growing dissatisfaction over divisive decisions made this past summer by the denomination's chief legislative authority.
Since ELCA's Churchwide Assembly adopted a social statement on human sexuality and made it possible non-celibate homosexuals to serve as rostered leaders, a number of congregations have considered parting ways with denomination, which they say has been parting ways with the Word of God.
And some are thinking about ceasing their donations to the church body, which is already facing a significant decrease in its budget. more >>

The University of Pittsburgh's men's basketball team has been playing ball for 107 seasons now, so it's not the easiest task to single out the five best players in the program's history.
Pitt has had an uptick in recent years of players making it to the National Basketball Association with names like Aaron Gray, DeJuan Blair and Steven Adams being more recognizable to the modern fan. But that doesn't mean the program's history isn't stacked with less-familiar names that had incredibly productive careers at the university, names like Don Hennon, Charles Smith and Billy Knight.
This list isn't intended to measure the best Pitt players who went on to the NBA, nor is it intended to rate the most prolific scorers in the program's history. Rather, it's intended to highlight the best all-around players who called Pitt home and played their best basketball there.
The list will show that, while Pitt basketball might not have the storied history of other college programs, some of the best players in the program's history rank among the finest college basketball players ever.
Let's start first with the honorable mentions, three players who had tremendous careers at Pitt but didn't quite make the cut.

$2.5B transportation bill passes Pennsylvania Senate
Gov. Corbett favors more modest $1.8B proposal
A bill designed to boost state spending on Pennsylvania's transportation systems by almost 50 percent has received resounding support from state senators.
The 45-5 vote Wednesday sent the bill to the House, where Republican leaders are skeptical of the $2.5 billion price tag.
Gov. Tom Corbett backs a more modest $1.8 billion proposal. Both plans rely primarily on increasing a wholesale gas tax by 28.5 cents a gallon and would give Pennsylvania among the nation's highest fuel tax rates.
Proponents say the money is badly needed, and that taxes haven't been raised in many years.
A Transportation Department spokesman said the agency can't provide a list of which projects would be completed with the money. Currently, about 20 percent of the state-maintained bridges and highways are in need of repair.

HOBOKEN — Three Hoboken veterans' memorials were desecrated after city workers went home Thursday night, police said yesterday.
The damage included the handles of flags snapped in half, garbage burned near the site, and in one case, a flag that was incinerated, police said.
The offensive acts were carried out at the World War I American Expeditionary Forces Memorial and the Hoboken Vietnam Veterans' Memorial at Pier A Park, and at the Hoboken World War II Memorial at Frank Sinatra Park.
On Friday morning, city employees also found the name of former state Sen. Bernard F. Kenny on a plaque near the World War II memorial at Sinatra Drive and Fourth Street had been scratched out, reports said.
During the investigation, police found that nine trash can liners containing garbage in Pier A Park had been pulled from their metal cans and burned on the sidewalk. Three other trash bags had been hurled into the Hudson River, reports said.
Nine hand-held, parade-type flags at the World War I memorial at Sinatra Drive and First Street, were found lying between the fence and the rock at the center of the memorial with their wooden handles snapped in half, reports said.
A metal "Veteran of the United States" seal was also bent backwards, police said.
At the nearby Vietnam Veterans' memorial, two similar flags were damaged. One flag had been incinerated while the handle of the other flag was snapped in half, reports said.
Two "Veteran of the United States" seals were also damaged.
The city also found a flag with its handle broken placed at base of the World War II memorial at Sinatra Drive and Fourth Street, reports said.

It's a common phrase around Wisconsin: there are two seasons, winter and road construction. This summer a few local municipalities are planning major or minor projects. Here are the details you need to know about your local roads.
1. Village of Big Bend
Big Bend has already started some utility work on its major summer project. Industrial Drive in the Big Bend Industrial Park will be completely restructured to be widened, include curb and gutter and a storm sewer, at a cost of just under $1 million. Department of Public Works Superintendent Eric Pedersen said that traffic to businesses will be affected because Industrial Drive is currently a dead-end road, but business owners will be apprised of updates. The project is expected to last until August, weather dependent.
2. Town of Eagle
Shearer Road and Serentity Court will be resurfaced this summer. The timeline is still uncertain, but Town Clerk Lynn Pepper said the work will likely occur at two different times, as the projects will be done by two different contractors. The Shearer Road bid was awarded for $209,955.30. Serenity Court's bid will be awarded for $41,323. 27. No detours are expected.
3. Village of Eagle
Village President Richard Spurrell said the village plans to do only crack filling, as needed, this summer.
Town of Mukwonago
DPW foreman Rick Peterson explained that the town plans to do only patchwork and crack filling as needed this summer.
Village of Mukwonago
The village has not yet formalized plans for road work this summer.
4., 5. Village of North Prairie
North Prairie will complete two major road projects this summer. Harrison Street from Highway 59 to the railroad tracks will be repaved, and the sidewalk will be replaced. Highway 59 will be repaved from North Oakridge Drive to the Industrial Park.
The Harrison Street project is estimated to cost $103,400, and the North Oakridge Drive project is projected to cost $220,900. The request for bids will come out in May and then, according to Village Clerk Rhoda Bagley, the village hopes to move the projects along as soon as the contracts are awarded. No detours are expected.
6. Town of Vernon
The town will have a paving program this summer that includes part of Hidden Lakes subdivision and Norland Trompet subdivisions. The town plans to complete Lake Side Drive, Hilltop Lane, Hidden Lakes Court, Karlstad Drive from Norway to Highway ES, Norway Drive and part of Danielson Street. The town will also complete Kelsey Avenue from Highway 164 to the town limits.
There is no current schedule for the project, but DPW Director Doug Salentine said they typically work with the goal to be completed before school starts. The bid has been awarded for $368,968.45. Salentine said he does not expect there to be any closures or detours during the project.

Two years to the day after Hurricane Katrina roared into town, leaving behind a flooded landscape, Tulane Medical School professor Melanie Ehrlich said Wednesday that the city she'd feared was doomed is on the mend, though with much work remaining, thanks in large part to the work of hoards of visiting volunteers and local citizens determined to stand their ground.
Ehrlich was one of several speakers who assessed the city's progress and prospects before about 80 people who gathered in Jackson Square Wednesday for a "Celebration of Thanks'' event to mark the second anniversary of katrina by thanking specific groups that have helped in the recovery.
Ehrlich thanked a whole range of people, groups and agencies for their post-Katrina aid, but she had special praise for Hospital Corp. of America, the majority owner of Tulane University Hospital, for getting her, fellow employees and others helicoptered to safety after floodwater the swamped the downtown building.
Among the people on hand as Ehrlich spoke was former Memorial Medical Center surgeon Dr. Anna Pou, who was accused by Attorney General Charles Foti of injecting four patients with a lethal mixture of morphine and Versed drugs as the Uptown hospital was marooned by the floodwaters.
An Orleans Parish grand jury declined to charge Pou and two nurses in connection with those deaths, though all three face civil suits from the dead patients' families.

Select Part Number For Your Model
Select Your Display Color
Find your model and product using the HealTech Product Advisor Below.
Step 3) Choose Your The Display Color From The Drop Down List Above
Step 4) Add To Your Cart
The Ultimate Gear Indicator with built-in Advanced Timing Retard Eliminator
Specifically designed for SUZUKI and Kawasaki EFI motorcycles:
Gear Indicators compute gear position from engine and wheel speed, while the GIpro reads the Gear Position Sensor directly. This is why the GIpro gives faster and more reliable readings under any conditions.
The built-in Advanced TRE improves part-throttle response in lower gears. It will also improve low end torque at full throttle and disable the speed limiter on certain bike models. By default this function is turned off, and can be activated by the touch of a button. ATRE combines all the benefits of different types of TRE available today, in one single unit.ATRE is a Switchable Remappable Smart Automatic TRE.
Auto Brightness Controller ensures that display brightness is always optimal. The sensitivity level can be even fine tuned if desired.
The GIpro works well with, or without other aftermarket electronics, such as the Power Commander and SpeedoHealer.The unit installs in about 10 minutes on most bikes and works out of the box. No cumbersome learning process is involved.
2 functions in 1 unit !
Gear Indicator
Fast and accurate
Instant and accurate indication of selected gear for added control and safety
It's not like competing products that all suffer from lag and incorrect readings. The GIpro reads the Gear Position Sensor directly, while other units, such as Acumen DG8 and Datatool DiGi compute gear position from engine and wheel speed. This leads to unreliable readings, especially at lower road speeds. Also, these units indicate wrong gear when the clutch is slipping or disengaged.
Unlike other designs, the GIpro incorporates an advanced microchip with sophisticated algorithm to filter out glitches and noise patterns on the gear position signal. The GIpro is the ONLY indicator currently available that works 100% reliably on supported Suzuki and Kawasaki bikes.
Quick installation
Plug-n-go wiring harness, easy to mount display
Complete installation can be done in about 10 minutes on most Suzuki motorcycles (approx. 30 mins on Kawasakis).
No need to remove the fairings and uninstall the instrument cluster, as with other gear indicators.
Works out of the box
The GIpro is pre-programmed to fit most bikes "out of the box"
However, if needed, it learns the gear positions automatically. This ensures compatibility with all Suzuki/Kawasaki EFI bikes, and avoids the cumbersome learning process required by similar products.
Large, effective display
1 inch, extra bright display, housed in a compact box
Supplied in High Efficient Red and Blue.
One button operation
All functions can be easily accessed with the button under the display
No need to insert a separate "programming key" (Acumen DG8) or grounding a wire (Datatool DiGi).
Auto Brightness Control
The brightness of the display varies with the ambient light intensity
The sensitivity of the sensor can be even fine tuned if desired.
Random and rapid changes in light intensity are ignored to ensure the display will not flicker during the ride.
Auto Stand-by
This feature makes it possible to connect the power lead directly to the battery terminal
When ignition is turned off, the unit enters into low power mode and consumes 3mA only.
Robust design
30 day money back guarantee & 2 year replacement warranty
Waterproof housing
Microchip on board, full SMD-design
Flash memory to store user settings even with the battery disconnected
In case of connection or power failure, the TRE mode reverts back to Normal operation
Only inspected, high quality components are built in
Each unit is extensively tested prior to shipping, guaranteed to work
Advanced TRE
Advanced TRE = Switchable Remappable Smart Automatic TRE
The closest competing products (Ivan's smart TRE, Nikko Racing G-Pack, JSD Automatic, Teka FIRE, Checkered Flag Motorsports Smart TRE, etc.) use fixed mapping and can not be disabled when needed.
Nobody else makes a TRE like the ATRE integrated in GIpro!
Switchable &Remappable
Instant switching (with visual confirmation) between four modes by the touch of a button:
Off, 4th Gear Map, 5th Gear Map, 6th Gear Map
The button is under the display at your fingertip. No need to mount an external switch.
Smart & Automatic
Automatically switches off in Neutral
Means smoother idle and less engine heat. No need to adjust idle speed.
ONLY the GI pro has a microchip which controls TRE through a relay switch, all other "smart" TREs use a cheap transistor.
What it does
Improves throttle response and acceleration in gears 1 through 4.
Gives smoother part-throttle response in lower gears.
Improves low and mid range power at full throttle on Kawasaki models..
Bypasses the top speed restriction on GSX-R1000, GSX1300R (2001 ) and DL1000 models.
If a TRE device is installed on a bike equipped with OEM gear indicator (2006 GSXR models & ZX14), the OEM indicator becomes useless. However, the GIpro will indicate the gear selected regardless whether the built-in TRE is activated or not.
To comply with regulations for noise and emission, do not activate this function on public roads.
What makes our unit different and better than anything else on the market?
It's simple. You get two products for the price of one. What's more, you get the best of both.
Our combo unit is not only the most advanced Gear Indicator on the market, but also the best TRE device available for selected Suzuki and Kawasaki motorcycles.

P.M. Marcum, C.E. Aars, M.N. Fanelli ()
We have conducted a BVR imaging survey of nine extremely isolated early-type galaxies. Our objective is to understand their origins and evolutionary histories by searching for certain photometric and morphological signatures which would implicate that these objects are the remnants of merged galaxy groups.
Our analysis reveals that these galaxies are underluminous by at least a magnitude as compared to objects recognized as "fossil groups" in the literature. Two of our objects are clearly late-stage merger remnants, as indicated by faint tidal tails, multiple nuclei and very blue colors. Two other objects also have blue colors indicating star formation within the past ~2Gyr, but otherwise have morphological properties normal for spheroidal systems. Our potentially most exciting discovery is that two other objects are strong candidates for "primordial" elliptical galaxies formed early in cosmic time via protogalactic gravitational collapse in isolation.

Alternative technique for getting upwind on plane effectively.
Hi there,
I got into this article: http://www.guycribb.com/userfiles/do...ing upwind.pdf, from Guy Cribb, which teaches getting upwind in pretty different way from what I learned before.
Essentially, he says in this and other articles, that "closing the gap" by raking the rig back is a bad thing in most cases (excluding full race-on sails) as it kills the power. I remember I got this issue, that in some cases when raking the rig back I was losing the power, but I was never able to really narrow it down.
Guy Cribb says you should actually tip the mast forward and into the wind, when planing upwind.
Another interesting thing I read is in high winds you shouldn't actually lean out as much as you can, because it pushes the board too much sideways. Instead, when overpowered, his advice is to stand more upright, slightly sheet out and battle with the board, not with the sail.
This is quite contrary to other technique I've heard about before, which is lean out and don't sheet out. See here: http://www.guycribb.com/userfiles/do.../downforce.pdf.
I'm not questioning anything I learned here (thanks Roger for tons of help!), just wondering how such a different technique can actually work.
I think the closing the gap part is to get your speed up to max but with newer freeride sails it is harder to close the gap. (see past articles in windsurfing magazine.) Before trying to head up you need max speed and then point up with your body forward.
As far as the second point in overpowered conditions I've learned to raise the boom an inch or two to get myself over the board when I've felt the sail and board trying to pitch me off. This of course is done along with tightening the downhaul and then the outhaul to try and depower the sail and maximize sail range. Never really thought of it as applying more downward force, just found that it worked to raise the boom.
Interesting articles though, I need to check out his web site. thanx.
Hi Marek,
I think you may be taking some of what's in the Guy Cribb articles kind of "out of context".
Look at the board he's riding..... it's a small narrow wave board and I'll bet it has a fin < 30 cm under the tail.
I agree with Guy that to get upwind on this type of board, you need to use the upwind rail. (banking the board).
To apply this to "ALL" kinds of boards is just plain wrong.
Look at formula racers and almost anyone on a board wider than 70 cm with a fin larger than 50 cm.
Tipping the board upwind rail down is very inefficient when you have a big pointer foil under your board.
Then you need to tip the board slightly lee rail down and push hard on the fin while pulling up and out a bit with your front foot to control the roll attitude of the board at an angle that will give you the best horizontal "lift" upwind.
Guy's comments about feathering the rig are right on, regardless of what board you are on.
As far as standing up straighter and putting more down pressure (vs side pressure) on the fin, it depends again on the board width and fin size.
So, Guy Cribb is correct, if you are sailing a soft railed wave or freeride board with a smaller fin and smaller rigs.
His comment to bring the rig up slightly (from fully raked back and gap closed) will make almost any board a little easier to sail.
I'm pretty sure that when he says to bring the sail forward, he's talking only a few degrees at most and when he says bring it upwind, he's actually talking about raking the mast upwind, not forward of the mast base.
If you rake the rig upwind, you diminish it's overall size and efficiency slightly and you get a bit more vertical lift from the rig which helps support your body weight.
I think our formula racer friends will agree that unraking your rig will actually turn you off the wind slightly, not upwind, but again they are using an entirely different set of dynamics than Guy on his small finned, soft railed, wave/freestyle/freeride boards.
Hope this helps,
But my other sails, 2-cam Gaastra Swifts (7.5 and 9.0) are have large foot and it is natural to close the gap with them.
I like to have my boom high, but when really overpowered I used to lower it a couple of cm.
P.S. Thanks for explanations, Roger.
The technique used to get up wind on any board depends on how much power you have in your sail. If you are fully powered, sinking the leeward rail and "riding the fin" will give you maximum pointing ability. The wider the board, the less pronounced the dropping of the leeward rail. This only works if you have full power, and sheeting in is good to a point. You can over sheet and stall, so practice is important. Closing the gap depends on your sail and board, but in general terms, yes, you want to close the gap too.
If you are overpowered while pointing, sheeting out will decrease the power and you will lose some speed and possibly gain some control, but if you are on a wide board, sheeting out also takes the weight off the mast foot and you may risk taking off (wind under the board). This is a big problem for formula boards as you must keep mast foot pressure on all the time or you could send the nose of your board straight up. On a formula board in a big gust, you just have to keep the sail powered and hang on. If you chicken out = disaster.
In less than fully powered conditions and planing, riding the fin is still possible, but your upwind angle will be much less pronounced. If you can't ride the fin (barely planing), then the "lower the windward rail" technique is necessary, even if you are slogging.
Alternative technique for getting upwind on plane effectively
Ohh thanks We will definetly check that out
She is looking for a light wind board to replace that Skate 99. So I think going with another Skate sounds wize.
How does Skate compare to the Hawk?
Thank you
Hi Sasha,
Not sure of your question here.
Unfortunately I have never sailed either the Fanatic Skate or the Fanatic Hawk, so
I have no meaningful advice on these two boards.
Perhaps try your question on the Fanatic Website.
Alternative technique for getting upwind on plane effectively
Slight rewrite; I am looking to by a new board for me, I mean my wife. She mostly does freeride, and she blasts so I am trying to find something that is quick to get me on plane, and to stay on plane for her. And something very responsive to surf in the waves and jibe I will use it in the waves, she so far isnt wave riding, but soon.
She currently rides the Skate, and I love it. But I was thinking that Fanatic Hawk might be better for both, her. Or should I go with the freewave models? Or stick with the freestyle boards, as this one is working so well for her even as she does no freestyle which, oddly enough, I do.
Just trying to help out.

Skip to comments.Curtains For Cain
Posted on 11/12/2011 12:33:36 AM PST by reformedcrat
The fatal blow to the campaign has been made. Whether he knows it or not, Herman Cain's campaign is over. I would be overjoyed to be wrong, but the numbers and believability of sexual harassment claims against him have amounted to the critical mass of complaints that end the Cain campaign. It is only a matter of time before everyone realizes it.

As you are to me.
However, unlike you, I will not presume to know your inner workings because you have not revealed them to me. I dont know what makes you tick, or what drives your assumptions about others. You are only pixels on a screen to me. If we could meet in person over hot chocolate and a good doughnut, I am sure your tone would be less belligerent.
And perhaps yours would be less condescending.
I have had the pleasure of meeting many FReepers in person and not one of those occasions has been anything less than a good experience. In fact, some Of those have developed into strong friendships that I cherish.
If you follow the thread, you'll see that a tapper came out and made inaccurate accusations but failed to back them up when challenged to do so,
This is a person who has demonstrated a mean streak before and as I have never allowed her to get away with her games, she dislikes me. Instead of apologizing and admitting she was wrong, she tried to cover herself by making lame insults. I just laugh at her; it's entertainment to me.
You jumped into this out of the blue. I had not even communicated with you, so this may be a misunderstanding.
I will chalk this up to such for the sake of civility, unless you have different intentions.
Peace back atcha. :-)

Affirmative action is negative step
He supported the concept of TARP, but disagreed with what it turned into.
There were NO good choices in 2008. NONE.
He left Godfather's in 1996. Its current state is not pertinent.
I get similar private e-mails and you're right; it's not a good thing.
It's what the groupthinkers want. They want to bully people who don't agree with them into silence and those of us who have no fear of them frustrate them to no end.
They always seem somewhat shocked when they yip out their little attacks and find that some of us won't back down.
MNJohnnie is one I used to like and respect, but lately, he comes off as vicious and angry. At least he had the decency to slink away when he was unable to back up his false accusations.
Not noble as an admission of error would have been, but certainly better than that airhead who made her silly and unfounded accusations. When she found out she was wrong, rather than admit it, she started screeching that I'd had my posts scrubbed and other such nonsense, only making herself look worse. I got a good laugh off of that and was tempted to ping Jim Robinson and the Mods so that maybe they could restore my "scrubbed posts" for the dingbat. Pretty desperate excuse, IMO. LOL
The only rule I've seen here specifically pertaining to the primaries is that there will be no campaigning for Mitt Romney.
So, I hope that those who feel uncomfortable about standing up to the little hit squad around here will reconsider.
Courtesy ping to MNJohnnie for mention.
I recognize that there are some Republicans who don't agree that we have financial problems.
You are one of them.
I understand this.
I think we need to make serious cuts.
You don't, I get it.
It's a difference of opinion.
There are a lot of Republicans who don't understand that we have serious problems. You're one of them. I get that.
There no reason to throw insults around. You can vote for higher deficits and higher taxes if you want.
I'd like a President who will make serious cuts.
We haven't had one of those in my lifetime.
I would like one, sometime.
Please stop destroying the United States, thank you.
We need cuts everywhere. I'm not sure that all the military bases all over the world defend us, or make us safe. They just raise our taxes or create deficits that eventually we will have to pay.
Right, the establishment will blast a tea party candidate.
But we just have to be prepared. The tea party candidate should be squeaky clean, for one thing. That could help, make it a little harder for msm.
You cannot persuade by using the fallacy of the false choice.
Only a Democrat would say you have a choice to cut the military or nothing.
You are exposed as an ANTI-SEMITE *AND* A DEMOCRAT MOLE!
If you go back a few months, you will see I had a plan to cut $400 billion from current year and $800 billion in 2013 without touching the military or even Social Security in the near term. (But I have a plan that would cut SS significantly within a few years without affecting anyone ABLE to work.)
I didn't say you had "scrubbed your posts." I said you had "scrubbed your spots," lol!! That's a reference to the famous leopard metaphor. Geez, this is pathetic.
B.S. you are a HACK for Romeny campaign. You NEVER were for Cain. You are just doing what they told you to go out and do.
No objective person can look at the evidence and come up with what you said.
Yes, it sure is.
You made accusations and when challenged, you could not back them up.
Everything I have posted is out there.
You have created some character in your mind and tried to attribute it to me. Stop feeling so insecure around me; I don't bite. I just don't put up with any BS.
When you were unable to produce any evidence to support your nasty smears, you resorted to lame insults and a bunch of nonsensical screeching.
A decent person would have admitted her error and moved on. And you may have even gained some respect from me and others.
Instead, choose to keep digging deeper into your hole.
Madame Defarge indeed. Blinded by her hatred. Now, who does that better suit? {snicker!}
The popular idiom is "A leopard cannot change his spots."
Refereces to "scrubbing spots" are somewhat vague. Don't expect people to think you're clever just because you're trying to come off as "complicated."
Ooooops! LOL
I would like to make large cuts everywhere.
You might have a mental illness.
My friends who are lawyers would agree with you, I'm sure. Once one of them once said something like, "If we could figure it all out, we wouldn't need judges."
No problems. Have a good weekend.
Based on this crappy article? I haven't read any comments besides yours yet, so I don't know who else has picked it apart. I can assure you that I can. This "article" is another hit piece.
For starters, here's one piece of the story-teller's "journalistic creativity":
"Writer" Thurlow: "And in answer to a Wall Street Journal reporter's question, Cain said that "there will probably be other" complaints of sexual harassment."
Here are Cain's actual words that the writer was referring to (he even linked to them): Cain: "As you know, when you run for the highest office in the land, there are going to be some accusations that are going to come out of the woodwork. They're going to come from anywhere. And I have said this before. There will probably be others, not because I am aware of any, but because the machine to keep a businessman out of the White House is going to be relentless."
Where do you see ANYTHING in these words where Mr. Cain says he expects more "sexual harassment" claims?
If anything, this strengthens my support for the main because it is further proof he is feared, and so he is smeared.
I am a lawyer and I could tell she was full of sh*t just by looking at her. One of us is wrong, and since I can tell that his entire article is full sh*t just be looking at it, I'll go with him being wrong. Wow, I'd be embarrassed to write such worthless drivel.
The more I think about this article, the more bizarre it is.
I'm no lawyer, and I looked at this situation objectively, since I have no feeling one way or another about Cain, and I knew it was bull as soon as Gloria Allred made her stupid joke. Sorry, you don't make a sexual joke in front of someone you think has been the victim of sexual harassment—when you're her lawyer!
Agreed, and for the record, I am not in the tank for Cain either. Based on what I've heard from him to date, he sounds genuine, capable and like a true God-fearing conservative, so he is attractive - at this point in the race. I really just do my research on each candidate as time permits and wait and see.
My whole thing with Cain right is the obviousness of this media, Rat and/or Rino hit on him. As you know, conservatives need to defend against these sorts of attacks on all conservative candidates. Whoever orchestrates them (along with the media), needs to be smacked down hard.
Time for bed. Have a great day!
Definitely need to cut back on my caffeine intake, eh?

Sony Xperia S hands-on at CES 2012
Now that Sony and Ericsson have gone their separate ways, Sony is waist-deep in this heated smartphone race all on its own. Not surprisingly, the company has come out with guns blazing, showcasing their new devices with some very high-end specs, and designs that should get most phone enthusiasts out there excited.
And, thanks to our friends at PhoneDog, we've managed to get some hands-on time with one of them. The Xperia S is a device that features a 4.3-inch Reality 720p HD display, with a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood. Around the back you'll find a 12.1MP camera with 1080p HD video capture capabilities. Unfortunately, or at least at this exact moment, the device is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box, and Sony's Timescape user interface is attached.
Check out the video below to see the device in action, and let us know what you think of it in the comments below.
