In response to last week's column on tinted pictures, Barbara Stone sent in this oversize hand colored photo of a young woman. It's on canvas and framed in a gorgeous gold setting. According to Stone is was found in a collection of pictures of her father's Irish relatives who lived in Ansonia, Connecticut. The problem is: Where was it taken and who is it?
Coloring daguerreotype pictures is an American invention, and has been considered a secret, though at the present time it is done with more or less success by most artists.
The color consists of the oxyds of several metals, ground to an impalpable powder. They are laid on in a dry state, with soft camel-hair pencils, after the process of gilding. The plate is then heated by which they are fixed. This is a very delicate part of the art, and should not be undertaken by those who have not a good eye, and a light hand.
Look for my ancestral hairstyles article in the May 2009 Family Tree Magazine (on sale now!).

Post subject: Areas you would like to see imporved next year
Since its basically offseason for us..
Just like title says. But please do not mention the obvious....we all know how badly we need a secondary and how horrible our QB play us. You can mention anything from defense, offense, to individual players, so here I go:
Kickoff return team-Our kickoff return team was GARBAGE this year. We would be lucky to just make it back to the 20, most of the time our returner would get tackled at the 15.
Mason Foster-I feel like he needs to have a good offseason and really step up his game going into next season. IDK if its just me but the dude just dissapeared....he is not even in top 20 for tackles in the NFL.
Mark Barron-Showed some good flashes the last game but has got to learn how to cover. He always waits for the ball to get there and then make the tackle, he needs to learn how to break and attack the ball. I do not want a Roman Harper clone on our team..
DT-Besides McCoy the rest of our DT's are really not that good...average on good days. I fee like we would have an elite D-line if we had a pro-bowl caliber DT next to McCoy.
Center-Been saying this for a while, Zuttah sucks at center. He is only a good reliever. He was never even that good at guard so I dont know who thought he would be a good center. I think our O-line would be so much better if we had a real center.
Tight End-Stocker is solid but IMO will be a #2 most of his career(but a good one). Clark is old. I said this in the Harvin thread, but our offense would be deadly if we had a real stud TE.
Those are the ones off the top of my head feel free to add

Pass rush is probably the biggest one for me. I think with Clayborn coming back that area should improve. Another dt would be a great addition to our line. Also think with Bowers having a full off-season without rehab should do wonders for his game.
Te position has bugged me the last few years as well. With Winslow we should of been grooming a young guy to take over. Stocker and Clark are not the answers. I would really like to see us add Bennett. Big target, can block and be a threat in the passing game. Take Clark's $3.5M and throw that plus a little more at him. Plus the cat is still young. Defenses can't key on what we are doing with him in the game either.
Would also love to have a guy returning the ball in the kicking game that actually puts some fear in the opponent. I guess a slot guy as well. Someone could be our return specialist and our slot... Harvin

The pass rush is pretty obvious, really no need to touch on it. It needs improved from every angle.
Next I would say is the short passing game. We really don't have a great slot guy (good thing you can find them all over the draft) and our TE situation is suspect, although I do like what I saw from Stocker this last game. Maybe he is maturing into his draft slot. Improving this will help Freeman, because then we can throw to a slot WR, deep to VJ and Williams, our TE, Lorig and Martin.

I'm going to agree with those who disliked Sword Art Online.
We ought to expect better of those who write to entertain us that they don't create sensless plots. Seriously, this guy claims that a single person with no outside help developed and manufactured an entire line of virtual headsets for use in a video game OR that not one single person involved in the manufacturing process of said VR device had any idea how to safely remove them OR that no world government had the capacity to hack into a video game to allow players to log out safely OR that no engineer in the world could figure out how to take out a battery from a headset OR how to block microwaves from being emitted into one's brain FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
That's well beyond bad writing people and we must expect better from our entertainment or people will continue to write nonsense garbage because it sells. Whenever something this bad is created we should do the right thing, turn away from it and find something else to watch.
You must have it hard being so picky over the details. In some series you should ignore the logic and just enjoy the anime. If you can`t do that then anime is not really the thing for you, seeing that 90% of the animes have a thing or two that doesn`t make sense.
No, no no no no no no no no!
Do you ignore logic here?
Do you ignore logic here?
Do you ignore logic here?
or do you demand better from those who try to entertain you? We demand better. Stop watching crap!
If they limited animes to things that were only possible, do you know how few animes there would be? Not to mention the lack of imagination in the anime. By letting things remain as it is, even though its not really possible, they are able to expand the animes and create much more entertaining ones.
I agree with Kikusui, anime isn't always intended to be logical. I mean look at all of the animes with magic. Does magic really exist? No, but thats why it interests people, and thats why they make it. They made Sword art to entertain us with the idea of a virtual fantasy world. Its like as Kikusui said, there would be near to no animes if they all obeyed the laws and logic of the real world.
As for the "senseless plot," I'd say that it had the most developed plot I've seen. If you want to talk about having no plot, watch something like Nichijou. Animes almost always have restrictions on the amount of space to work because of the set episode numbers (not including naruto or the ancient ongoing animes).
Anyway, you just have to be able to accept the fantasy aspect of anime in order to fully enjoy it. I don't expect you to change your view on it, but at least try to watch anime with an open mind, its much more fun that way.
Needs more music.
Mars of Destruction... easily.
i'd have to say the worst i've seen would be Medaka Box, R15, Ristorante Paradiso and Dear Boys. at first i was fine with Medaka Box but then as the show went along the characters and plot became annoying to me needless to say didnt bother with the 2nd season. most of the time i try to give an anime a benefit of the doubt even if the first few episodes dont make me interested. i some times also just try to watch the entire thing just incase it was only a handful of episodes. i know the show is interesting to me when i dont fall asleep watching it. Sadly Hayate No Gotoku! Can't Take My Eyes Off You put me to sleep with the first 4 episodes i watched so i gave up maybe i'll go back and watch the rest.
i kind of enjoyed School Days eventhough it was pretty stupid all of the characters were really unimpressive and bland
Definitely Bleach detergent show.
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Boogiepop Phantom. It was too hard to follow what was going on. In addition, there was no excitement. I was very bored at the time, so I forced myself to watch the first 4 episodes, but I gave up; it was too painful to watch and it only increased my boredom.
I also really didn't enjoy Silent Mobius; however, I was able to get through the entire series.
Bludgeoning Angel Dokoro-chaaaaaHHHHAAAAAaannnnn-omigawd!! Never have I seen a show so mindless, so stupid, so....so.....insulting!! Insulting to the human intelligence!! It makes want to do THIS.....
...to this show.
[BUSY] Y'know, I love video games, too.
how are we defining horrible? strictly personal opinion, or content, animation style, etc?

I think it's anything you want to define it as.
[No information available]
K-On and Puella Magi Madoka Magica....
School days is a pile of garbage.
...browsing through thread. I see several references to anime series that I thought were generally well thought of. So, the natural follow up question, what do you expect in a good anime series?
My nomination for worst anime ever.... Dead Leaves
Worst anime movie I have ever seen. I honestly can't believe no one has mentioned this title; then again I've seen many titles mentioned I thought were great anime so it all boils down to personal opinion and taste.
For me it's a toss up between School Days and Canvas 2. Just thinking about them..... (shudder)
Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows
i really didnt like school days it was really dumb....
None cause I think all animes are great?
Back with only one thing in mind

Once dubbed the "Main Street of America," Route 66 not only is a landmark in U.S. history, but also played a vital role in developing Arizona's economy as a major piece of the state's infrastructure not long after statehood in 1912.
Arizona has always been known as a gateway to California. First, with the California Gold Rush of 1849, when thousands of people traveled through Arizona on their way to hunt for riches in the Golden State. Since there were no established routes through Arizona, these pioneers blazed their own trails, eventually creating a travel corridor. When built in Arizona, Route 66 followed this same path.
Commissioned in 1936, Route 66 began in Chicago and spanned all the way to Santa Monica, Calif. It was not fully paved until 1937.
Taking Route 66 through Arizona to California not only was popular because it was the easiest way to California, but also because of the tourist attractions and small towns that thrived along the route's path. From the 1930s into the mid-1950s, Arizona's tourism industry experienced a golden age as this historic route ran near the Grand Canyon and was a short jaunt away from the Painted Desert and Meteor Crater. In time, Route 66 took its place in American folklore, inspiring a popular song.
Route 66 entered Arizona through Holbrook, which attracted Easterners. Tourism instantly became an important part of its economy. It is reported that the first tourist camp in the U.S. was built in Holbrook. When Route 66 became the official transcontinental highway, tourism took off. It ceased during World War II when gasoline was rationed, but resumed after the war.
The advent of the automobile also was an economic boon to Winslow, which was a major stopping point along Route 66. Cafes, trading posts, motor courts and garages thrived. Similarly, Flagstaff's economy grew. For years its motor courts and cafes catered to weary travelers.
Seligman, a railroad town founded in 1886, was referred to as the "Historic Birthplace of Route 66." Its economy flourished when the Santa Fe Railroad established repair facilities there, including the Harvey House Road House.
The last major Route 66 town in Arizona was Kingman, although Oatman and Topock were officially the last towns along the old route. Again, the stretch of 66 that ran through Kingman's downtown was rich in motels, restaurants and shops. That downtown is listed in the Historic Register for Historic Places. The neon signs of the 1940s proclaiming "Motel Row" remain intact.
But as the nation's infrastructure grew and improved in the post-war boom years, Interstate-40 arose and Route 66 became irrelevant. Soon, much of the old route was decommissioned.
If it's "fun in the sun" that attracts people to Arizona these days, it was Route 66 that paved the way for millions to visit and even more to stay and call the Grand Canyon State home.

Having your house trashed and new carpets soiled are a small price for the sheer fun a party can bring. But being a good host involves more than just supplying most of the booze and sticking ornaments down with superglue. Besides acid wit and paying celebrities to turn up - real ones, not stars from Made in Chelsea - you can enhance the festivities with a splendid gadget or three.
TDK Wireless Charging Speaker
£400, TDKperformance.com
Slapping your iPod, iPad or iPhone music collection on shuffle can be a embarassing move but it sure beats changing CDs all the time. The problem is, many speaker docks struggle to fill a room with sound – but that's not a problem for the TDK Q35, a compact cube that connects with your phone over Bluetooth and pumps out omnidirectional room-filling sound through four speakers and a subwoofer. Plus, if you've got a phone with wireless charging tech, you can just pop it on top to recharge.
iDJ Live
Le Whaf Carafe
Choc Edge
Pal it up with the djay iOS app and this portable DJ rig brings the art of mixing, scratching, cutting and dubbing to your iPad. You'll be beat-matching with the best of them – until you hit that Steps track you drunkenly bought in a bid for ironic amusement. Yeah, we believe you – it's your sister's, blah, blah.
Breakfast Station
€130, The Lab Store
If your party needs a touch of Willy Wonka wonderment, this is just the thing for you – it turns food and drink into flavoured clouds of vapour using an ultrasound generator, which you pour out and sip with a specially-designed straw. Perfect for sticking to your New Year's resolution – you get all of the flavour with none of the calories.
£2,500, Choc Edge
Who needs a fondue set or chocolate fountain when you can print out chocolates with a 3D printer? This insanely expensive gadget will print out any shape you want – but unlike a typical 3D printer the final result will be edible. Just about any chocolate can be melted, too, making it pretty versatile. Just remember you'll need marshmallows – and a working knowledge of CAD software.
£71, Overstock
As you overindulge on multicoloured drinks, you probably won't be thinking about the morning after. But when you wake up with the mother of all hangovers, you'll be praying for a good coffee, toast and a sausage, egg or bacon butty to get you back on your feet. That's where the space-saving 3-in-1 Breakfast Station steps in and delivers. Delicious.

Feminism | Posted by Emily Jane G on 07/13/2012
Silencing the Fear: Coming Out As A Feminist
In a day and age in which many people believe feminism is no longer needed or just outright misunderstand what feminism actually is, coming out and saying the words "I am a feminist" can be quite daunting. Doing so as a teenager is particularly intimidating. Considering that so many people our age believe stereotypes such as all feminists are lesbians who don't shave their legs and burn their bras, it's hardly surprising that many of us are reluctant to openly declare our belief in gender equality.
The truth is feminism is only a dirty word because many people don't know what it actually is. It's not hard to find out the truth, though. Even Wikipedia knows that "Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending …


text: In a statement released yesterday, Christina Applegate announced she was leaving the NBC show Up All Night over creative differences. Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph are staying. The show is not what it started out to be and is going to be dramatically different if it ever gets back on the air, but it is tough to walk away from a network sitcom if there is any chance it will stay on the air. It is not like Christina has had a run of success when she has been given shows so you would think she would have hung on until the bitter end. Will and Christina have had some up and down moments during the run of the show and their relationship is not as warm as it used to be. It is interesting to note that while she specifically thanked Lorne Michaels in her statement, she did not mention any of the cast specifically and just threw them in the same sentence as cast, producers and crew.

Governor Christie was on with NJ 101.5's Dennis & Michele today.
To listen to the audio of the Governor's interview click HERE. Full transcript of the interview is provided below.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Dennis, Michele. Good to talk to you.
MICHELE: You too
DENNIS: Good to talk to you. We saw you on MSNBC yesterday on morning Joe.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Yes.
DENNIS: Good for you.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Squawk box yesterday also. I was on Fox news channel. We had a full NY media day.
DENNIS: Well you did great. MSNBC I know is not friendly territory. And even though a couple of those weasel liberals tried to, you know, pin you down and a lot of them had nothing to say. And Joe of course is pretty fair across the board. You came off brilliantly yesterday and…
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: I had fun.
DENNIS: Good, you're doing a great job. You're in our prayers cause I don't know how you, I would've quit this job 2 months ago. Soon as I put my hand down off that bible I would've said I can't do this anymore
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: I remember when you said that, I called in to assure you I wouldn't do it.
DENNIS: God bless, and I said a prayer for Brett Schundler last night cause I watched him in that senate hearing thing. Oh my God, Teresa RUI? was on him like a Chihuahua ripping at his pants trying to get him to stumble and fall. The big question people want me to ask this morning is you say in local school districts, and how do we know this anyway I guess we'll have to look up the information, if your district did not take the 1.5% contribution and the pay freeze, vote down the budget. And then Schundler, your education chief, says no don't do that. What do you have to say?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: What was that he would also look at other factors in determining his vote. And that's his right to say that.
DENNIS: Right.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: I didn't hire a bunch of people to be around me who were always going to agree with me on every particular point.
DENNIS: Good.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: But certainly he agrees that whether the pay freeze was taken and whether its health contributions are being made by the members of the union…
DENNIS: Well how do we know that, how do we look that up Governor? Do we have to call up our local school boards and ask them?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: I think you call your local school boards and… But I think it's pretty easy. There's now only, I think 12 districts in NJ where they've taken the pay freeze. We added a 12th this morning where the teachers union is taking a pay freeze. We have over 120 where the administrators have taken a pay freeze. And I hear your listeners all the time talking about administrators and administrative salaries being out of control and they're right in a lot of it. But I wanna remind the listeners: 120 districts now, that's over 20% of the districts in the state, the administrators have taken a pay freeze. It's now 12 districts that have taken a pay freeze with teachers' union. Glenrock was added this morning, they voted last night for the teachers to take the pay freeze and make the contributions for their health benefits. So there's only 12 of them that have done that so far and that's because the teachers union on State street would rather, you know, continue to be absolutely inflexible in this. They'd rather have teachers be laid off, they'd rather have programs be cut or they'd rather spend their time praying for my death than to do the responsible thing and take a 1 year pay freeze.
DENNIS: Michele…
MICHELE: Oh yea I had a question real quick. If the state puts a cap on taxes at 4%, which Corzine put into place and you wanna put it at 2.5%, now can the town go to the state and ask to raise the taxes even more? Because that's what's happening in my town.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well they can come…
MICHELE: I know but is the state going to allow that?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well, we're not going to allow it. What we've said is: Now the problem is with the Corzine caps, as you might imagine I'm sure you won't be shocked to hear, the Corzine caps has enough holes in it look like a piece of Swiss cheese. And 1 of the holes that he has in the caps was you can raise taxes above the 4% cap for every dollar in state aid that you lose. So now as we cut state aid, municipalities- they can raise above the 4% and that's why it's a non sensible tax.
MICHELE: But does the state still have to approve that or the town can do it without approval?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: No, the town can do it without approval but what we've said to municipalities is if you raise taxes above that 4% cap for every million dollars you raise taxes above that 4% we're gonna take away another million dollars in state aid.
DENNIS: So, and your pushing for this proposition 2.5 that would be a hard cap at 2.5%.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Right, hard cap at 2.5%. The only out on the cap would be a voter referendum in your town. So if they wanted to go above the 2.5% and the voters from the town... Hey listen they're
could be instances where people in town decide for who wants the government to make particular programs they want to create.
MICHELE: But how early can that be put in place? Like how long are we talking for that?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well, we're talking November election and then it can be put in place as of January 1st of 2011. But what we're gonna look for in this legislative session is for them to put the hard 2.5% cap in June by statute and then have it be a constitutional amendment come November. So we're gonna be proposing and you've heard me talk about the tool kit we're gonna propose. Those things will be introduced into the legislature when they come back into full session in May and we're gonna be pushing hard for those things to be passed before the budget on June 30th.
DENNIS: People are wondering why Ray Raider came in about a year ago with a stack, a list of employees that are no show jobs, or middle managers or directors in the state that, you know, could be cut? Why are you going after the, you know, low wage public worker? Are you going after all levels of government? Are you aware of this list of people who do nothing and make high salaries for the state?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Yes, and we… and part of what we've done is, we've been eliminating positions all over state government and what we're also doing in the budget this year is all these boards and authorities and commissions where people are getting paid just enough to be able to qualify for the pension, your aware of these like Lucille Davy, the old education commissioner, going on the board of pharmacy uh the old state treasurer going on the board of taxation. We've now put in the budget this year that no member of one of those boards can be paid more than $100 a month. That would put it at $1200 and would keep them well below the threshold where they could qualify for the pension. So we're doing a lot of the things that Ray Raider talked about.
DENNIS: Ok, because all we're hearing about in the media is, you know, how you are attacking teachers, and you hate teachers and your making the poor middle class teachers suffer. When we asked you a couple of weeks ago, the biggest cut you made is to the department of treasury. But you've made cuts all across the board, it's just that the NJEA has, you know, the largest voice and can push back.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: They have the largest wallet, lets understand something. Between my budget address and today, the NJEA has spent $1.8 million on television and radio ads attacking me. $1.8 million already in the first 30 days since the budget address. This is what those dues go to the $730 a year that…
DENNIS: Well somebody made the point, why don't those dues go to their health benefits and retirement like all other unions and use that money instead of the state money. It's like we have a group of tax payers that work in the private sector who are paying taxes for the retirement of the people who work in the public sector.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well that's exactly right, your right. What I've said is, you know, if there's no concerns about the $750 which should be the average cost if someone contributed 1.5%, a teacher contributed 1.5% of their salary for their health benefits. Their union dues are $730 per year, so waive the union dues for this year, live off the $130 million you collected in dues last year. $130 million dues collected just last year. Well known fact.
DENNIS: Great point governor. This is all been made about teachers and it's not. Your cutting the budget all across the board and its just become a circus and a show and the grilling of Schundler yesterday was like, come on these people are trying to save everybody money and your whining and screaming and trying to grill this guy over the leaky roof in a school in Newark. It's just I don't know how you people don't explode, I don't know how you don't throw chairs across the room everyday because if that was me and my guinea temper I'd be throwing chairs across the state house every day.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well think about this Dennis, to put it in perspective. We're cutting $820 million from school aid. We're making $10.7 billion in cuts, overall. So it's less than 10% of the cuts we're making come from school aid despite the fact that 1 of every $3 we spend in the state budget goes to school aid.
DENNIS: Somebody just called, will you keep the emergency patrol service on the road?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Yes.
DENNIS: That's staying.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Absolutely.
DENNIS: Ok, a guy just called. He was concerned and said that the commissioner said it was going to be cut
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: No, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
MICHELE: Ok, and can you address this because we hear it all the time where you're going after the middle class, going after the middle class but you're not reinstating the millionaires tax. Can you please address that again?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well 1st of all let's stop calling it the millionaires tax.
MICHELE: Right it's like $400,000.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: (Not understandable)
MICHELE: Oops, we lose him? Wait we lost you start again cause we lost you for a second. Start again.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: (Not understandable)… 63,000 filers above $400,000. 30,000 of them are small business. So they want an increase in taxes on small business at a time when we have 9.8% unemployment and we want those small businesses to spend their money creating (not understandable). The fact of the matter is that the democrats wanted to play politics with this. They (not understandable) Trenton games. (not understandable) December 31st 09 when Jon Corzine was the Governor (not understandable) controlled the legislature. They wanted to increase the tax and there was nothing I could've done, nothing. But instead they decided to play political games. And those political games have now led us to them wanting me to increase taxes and I'm not gonna do it.
DENNIS: Yea most people read into it and understand it…
MICHELE: But everybody keeps saying it.
DENNIS: Taxing the rich. Taxes driven you know uh, $70 billion worth of wealth out of the state in the last few years and now to tax people who make over $400,000 like as he said many of them small business owners. There goes another part time job for your kid, there goes a full time job for your husband or whatever. It doesn't make sense.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Dennis, Its political gamesmanship. I mean, they could've done this. If they felt so strongly about it, they knew how bad a shape we were in last December and January, if they were really serious about it they could've voted. What they wanted to do is, they wanted to have a political issue to stick it to the new Governor. And so guess what, they got the issue they're not getting the revenue.
DENNIS: Casino sports betting in Atlantic City. They say that would bring in a lot of money and solve some of your problems. Are you in favor of it? Can it be done?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well listen, sports gambling the problem is that New Jersey had the opportunity federally to opt into having sports gambling, we decided not to. And that's why this federal lawsuit is pending right now to try to make sports gambling legal in places like Delaware and New Jersey and others. So until federal government allows us to do it either by congress changing the law or by the courts saying that the law that prohibits us from doing it is unconstitutional, we can't do it. We certainly can't do it in time to help any of our budget problems this year
DENNIS: All right good point. Insurance rates, car insurance rates: anything the government can do to lower those?
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Well we wanna continue to have competition. I'll have to tell you that one of the few things that Jim McGreevy actually did right was bring more competition to the auto insurance business to New Jersey and you see that we have had a leveling off of auto insurance.
DENNIS: We have.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: I think more competition and I think tort reform also.
DENNIS: Of course.
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: Very helpful in that regard. And that certainly, once we get through this budget cycle, will be one of the things we'll be looking at. You know, one of the things people – cause I've had people ask me all types of questions about when are you gonna do a variety of other things. We've been in office now 84 days. In 84 days we've cut over $13 billion in spending without raising taxes. In 84 days we have put labor unions underneath the pay to plan umbrella. In 84 days we have done a lot of things. Let us continue to work hard and understand that its only 84 days so far. So we're gonna get to a lot of these issues but we have to focus very tightly given the fiscal crisis on the budget issues.
DENNIS: The other question we had, this has been bothering me for years. Is there any way that your administration or any future administration would consider taking funding of education out of property taxes and if not why not?
DENNIS: Right
DENNIS: But do I think over the long term we need to re-examine how we are funding all our local needs? You know, there is no doubt I would be happy to look at that, and sit down with people who want to really get their arms around this and do it the right way and talk about it. But here's what I'm not going to do; I'm not going to permit localities to charge income taxes and sales taxes in New Jersey. Imagine, 580 something towns charging local income taxes and sales taxes, and try to keep control over that in New Jersey. You know, craziness. Unless we have controls in other places, you know, this kind of thing that's being proposed now is nothing I would be in favor of. But would I be willing to take a look at it? You know, well meaning people, sitting down and having a conversation and really trying to study it. I'd be happy to do that, but we have to get through this crisis first.
DENNIS: We have a caller on the line that says, "Why are you only going after certain pensions? Why didn't you include judiciary appointments in budget cuts?" and, "You are protecting your appointees."
DENNIS: Well, I mean, it's crazy, we cut $40 million from the judicial branch of government; $40 million from the judicial branch of government. We didn't protect any specific pensions, in fact, in the budget that we have now, as I said before, we are getting rid of those people who are using these boards of authority of commission to pad their pension and stay in the pension system by lower their compensation to more than $100 a month so they can't qualify for the pension system.
DENNIS: Would you consider putting tolls on roads like 195 or 287
DENNIS: No.
DENNIS: Ok. Have you looking into the fishing game thing I talked about, the limits on weak fish.
DENNIS: Yes I did, yes I did. Because of you, I had to read a six page memo on this.
DENNIS: What can you do about it?
DENNIS: You know what I found out? It's all Federal restriction.
DENNIS: No! Really?
DENNIS: Yes. Yea, it's Federal Restriction
MICHELE: Tough Break!
DENNIS: You can't do anything about how many herring I can take in as bait coming up to tributaries in Estridge; you can only take ten this year. I can only keep two Flanark, I can only keep one weak fish. You can't do anything about this in New Jersey?
DENNIS: I had to read six pages on the Federal Law on this, Dennis. You know, this is what helped to put me to sleep one night. And I read this and said," next time I come in to the station," which I think I'm in there for Ask the Governor on the 21st, a week from today, "I will read you the memo that I got from my DEP Commissioner so that you can read it as well." But my understanding from him is…
DENNIS: Whoa, that sounds weird.
DENNIS: …about salt water fishing is coming from the Government.
MICHELE: Is he on tape?
DENNIS: Wow, all right. I'll look into it again, I think you can do something about it, I don't think it's all Federal.
DENNIS: What do you want me to do? I'll get some folks to look the other way when you're fishing Dennis.
DENNIS: No, no, I want to be legal. Hey, if you can cut some of the staff of Fish and Game, you now, and every time I get on a boat I'm checked by the Coast Guard, the State Police, Fish and Game. I can't even drop my line in the water before six members of my government have checked my documents and looked under my- you know.
DENNIS: We don't do that with everybody, just suspicious looking characters like you.
DENNIS: Like me, yea I know. I look like I'm Middle Eastern.
MICHELE: Like you, exactly. Yea, but with the healthcare bill that the President signed and a lot of states going against it, any thoughts about what New Jersey is going to do?
DENNIS: You know, I'm still studying that Michelle. I've gotten some briefing now from my Attorney General, I've gotten some briefings from the Health Commissioner, and now, you know, we have to sit down and make a decision about whether I think what's going on is in the best interest for New Jersey or something that we need to fight.
DENNIS: Can you hang on through traffic break or do you have to go?
DENNIS: No, I can hang on.
DENNIS: Oh good. We're going to take a look at traffic, hang on; we're talking to Governor Chris Christie.
DENNIS: Alright, thanks for hanging on Governor. I heard yesterday on MSNBC that you are now, that you have a personal trainer and you're working out three days a week.
DENNIS: I am.
DENNIS: How's the progress?
DENNIS: Listen, I feel better. I have more energy.
DENNIS: So, you haven't lost any weight, is what I'm getting?
DENNIS: Oh gee, I'm not going to be giving you weight updates.
MICHELE: You're going to have to check in with Dennis every week
DENNIS: What am I going to have to go? The Dennis weigh in? No.
DENNIS: I can still make you, I still can make you a meal, a healthy meal . You're still able to eat good food, right?
DENNIS: Of course.
DENNIS: I want to come over to the, you know, the mansion, or wherever you hang out, and make you a nice healthy Italian meal.
DENNIS: You and Michelle, you know, with spouses at Drumthwacket. Is that what we're talking about?
DENNIS: Whatever you like! I'll cook for the whole family if you let me. I'll cook for Mary, Pat and the kids.
DENNIS: That sounds great! Now I'm definitely taking you up on that!
MICHELE: We got to hook that up!
DENNIS: I'll give you the memo on the fishing thing and you make dinner for me.
DENNIS: Awesome, that's a great trade. Anything else that you want to clear up that's out there in the media that you wanted to?
DENNIS: Listen. I want everybody to understand. We are in awful shape in the state and we're not going to make it better by continuing to do exactly the same thing we have been doing for the last 20 years. If spending in this year's budget had been permitted to go the way Governor Corzine wanted it to go, our spending over the last 20 years will have increased 320%. An average of 16% a year at the state level. This is unsustainable. So I understand the cuts are difficult. I understand everybody out there is hurting. And I know no one's going to like what we're doing. But were doing what we have to do. And candidly, we're doing what I told you we were going to do during the election. Which is going to come in, cut spending, shrink the size of government, and not raise taxes. And so no one out there should be surprised at this, and I'm going to keep faith with the people who put me into office. They didn't send me down here to play peanuckle. They sent me down here to clean this place up and that's what I am going to do.
DENNIS: How about other areas of corruption? Other areas of expenditure, where the state seems to pea away money. Do you have a team of people looking at every corner where money is being wasted.
DENNIS: We do. One of the things that we're doing with this budget that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is that we're going to consolidate a lot of those areas that look fraud, waste and abuse. So we're going to get rid of the Inspector General's office. We're going to get rid (SCI) State Commission of Investigation. And we're going to take parts of their resources and put them in the State Controller's office with Matt Boxer, who I think is doing a good job and he started out with some of the stuff in Atlantic City, some of the other things that are going. I think he has written some really good reports. Showing state government of where we have to go to save this money. We're going to give Matt some more resources and some more investigators to do that. You used to work for me at the U.S. Attorney's office in my public corruption unit. He was a John Corzine appointee. But a good guy, a guy who original worked for me. I'm happy to have him. I'm going to increase what he's got in terms of staffing. So we can stop just throwing money down the drain.
DENNIS: What about changing the pension system moving forward? To where new hires in all levels, as you said except for police and fire, you don't get the 25 year free vacation at the end. Because…
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: We have to move toward that Dennis. We have to move toward more pension and benefit reforms. The stuff that we've done so far in the first 60 days, in cooperation with the legislature was a good start. But at the time I said it was only a start and we're going to be introducing more reforms going forward in May and June that we're going to be pushing to get through the legislature because that's the only way we're going to be dealing with the long term fiscal problems of the state. You are absolutely right about that. Both on pensions and on health benefits.
DENNIS: What about welfare reform? Is there anything that can be done there, or is that stripped down to as far as it can go?
DENNIS: In this budget we made some more reductions to welfare in this budget, and I think we have gone probably about as far as we can go.
DENNIS: Alright, Governor thank you so much for taking the time today, we appreciate it.
DENNIS: I am always happy to be on with you guys, and now next Wednesday I'm going to lead you in and we're going to get some dates to have you guys come see us at the Governor's residents to have dinner. Now my kids will be there too so best of luck.
DENNIS: Listen, I cook for picky kids and their mother every night. So, I'm fully prepared to go whatever direction I need to go. So, its next Wednesday night, Ask the Governor, at 7 o'clock here with Eric Scott
DENNIS: Looking forward to it! Love that hour.
DENNIS: Alright, keep up the good work. We're praying for you, we're pulling for you, and all your staff; don't stop
DENNIS: And Dennis, please say the right prayers, not the ones that are, the ones that are, you know.
MICHELE: Yeah, right. Do you want to address that real quick though? I mean she stormed out after just talking for fifteen minutes. Has she reached out to you again?
DENNIS: No, and candidly, I don't care to have any conversation until they ask for the resignation of the guy who would do this. And you all know that this is a triple standard. If a member of my staff had sent out that E-mail with her name in it, there would have been protests on the steps of the State House demanding that person's resignation.
DENNIS & MICHELLE: True.
DENNIS: Of course yes. If a child in school had sent that note to another child with a teacher's name in it, that child would have suspended and probably sent for mandatory counseling. But, if you're a union leader with the NJEA, nothing happens to you. I'm tired of playing into the triple standard. It's not that I'm thin skinned, I could care less on a personal level what they're doing, but the Office of the Governor deserves more respect than that, and I'm not going to allow them to hold everybody else to a standard that they're unwilling. They're holding our kids to that standard, they're holding other public officials to that standard, but I'm not willing to hold myself to that standard. I'm not going to deal with people who think there is a different set of rules that apply to them.
DENNIS: Alright good point. Alright Governor, thanks again for your time of day.
DENNIS: Thank you guys, I appreciate it.
MICHELE: See ya!

Thread: Should we get Matt Schaub?
Should we get Matt Schaub?
And if so, what would you give up for him?
Obviously we're in a tough situation with that. I think we won't do it, but I'd really like to see it. If McNair shows trouble playing and loses his touch to "come back" from the deficits, then we're in the same spot we were last year with Boller. On top of that, we need someone for the future, and I don't think anyone here wants to give Boller another shot just because he got to watch McNair play for a little while.
Schaub has shown a lot in the limitted playing time he's had. He doesn't look like a world beater, but what he can do is manage the game very efficiently. He can move the ball and he doesn't make mistakes.
And that's all we need. Our running game is adequate and our receivers are finally good. If we had a QB that could manage a game well, our offense could be generating 24ish PPG. With our defense, that's all we need.
What would I give up to get him? Tough decision, especially since we already gave up a 4th rounder for McNair. Atl needs receivers, which we certainly aren't going to give. We have a lot of depth at LB and DL which is an area Atl could use. Who could we afford to give?
Adalius (Mike Smith takes his place)? That'd probably be a pretty fair trade, actually.
Franklin and a 3rd rounder?
Something else?

Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
Trading adalius is insane
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
No way you give up AD for a virtually unproven guy.
Mike Smith has looked great in preseason but you dont give up a special player like AD and just hope that he can fill in.
McNair will get it together. Trust me, he missed minicamps, and a lot of time he could have spent learning the playbook was wasted while he was in TN but it was clear he wouldnt be for long. Just keep the faith and Steve will come through."This year, our attitude when were on the field is were attacking, we want to put points on the board and then let our defense pin their ears back and have at it."
-Mark Clayton
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
I'm concerned less about this year than I am next and/or the following when McNair leaves.
Garrard is a reasonable option too. But I think Schaub is going to be a very solid QB starter in the league somewhere (ala Delhomme). He's a guy that I'm afraid anyone who's looking for a long term answer at QB will look back on and say "why didn't we go get that guy for the price we could have had him for?"
Schaub's value is higher than you think duffy. He's not unproven. He doesn't have a ton of starting experience. But he's gotten playing time, and he's played well in that time. I don't think it'll be a lot to sign him. Maybe Adalius is too steep and we could get a third or fourth rounder to go with it. But Schaub isn't gonna be let go for nothing.
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
Schaub was as good as Philp Rivers in college. Both ACC guys who put up similar numbers; Schaub has ALWAYS been a good QB. He was one of the better QB's to play in the ACC. I never understood why Rivers was regarded so much higher than Schaub coming out of college.
Per Wikipedia:
"Matt Schaub finished his college career with at least 22 school records. He played in a record 40 games at the quarterback position and finished his career as one of the most accurate passers in Atlantic Coast Conference history (.670 career completion percentage). His Virginia statistics included school career records for yards passing (7502), touchdown passes (56), completions (716), attempts (1069), completion percentage (.670), 300-yard games (8), and 200-yard games (20)."
I'm not one to jump on the Schaub bandwagon, but I think he'll be a good starter.
We need a future QB for this team. I want McNair to succeed as much as the next guy, but Schaub would be a great pickup for the future. I think KB needs a change of scenery, though I think he'll be good as well.
He's got all the tools. He's big, strong, intelligent, and a great arm. He has that poise that the great ones have. I'd put money down that hes going to be a legitimate NFL starter.
I don't see it happening unless McNair retires within 2 years. The FO would NEVER pickup Schaub as long as McNair is here.
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
He's got all the tools. He's big, strong, intelligent, and a great arm. He has that poise that the great ones have. I'd put money down that hes going to be a legitimate NFL starter.
I don't think he will be. I don't agree that he's intelligent...he's not a good decision-maker. He consistently makes poor decisions on where to go with the football, and hasn't shown a knack for learning from his mistakes.
Additionally, he's an inaccurate passer. Very little can change this...it's not a trait that you can coach out of someone.
Basically, Boller's the worst kind of situation. He's a terrific guy with tons of heart that you want to root for, but just can't perform. I think he'll be a good backup the whole way, but that's about it.
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
NO!! :insane:
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
Not really sure where you're getting that he's an inaccurate passer. Over 60% for college. Not intelligent? Where are you getting this? These are the type of qualitative attributes that are difficult to evaluate at this point in his career, UNLESS you're going off of his college stats.
Well, he was accurate in college. From my memory watching him at UVA, he was a solid decision-maker with poise.
My point about Schaub is that I would RATHER take a chance on him than go to the draft and gamble. At this point, Tyler Palko is the only guy I'd take later in the draft to be the QB of the future for the Ravens. But if I had a choice between him and Schaub, who has shown he can play in this league, I take Schaub.
I'm not love crazy over Schaub, I just think he's got what it takes. Big guy with a pedigree and good intangibles. He's also had big preseasons and has looked good when he has come in for Vick.
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
Do you honestly still believe that it is the QB posistion by itself that is holding this offense back? Former MVPs like McNair are putting up stats comparable to career back-ups like Anthony Wright.
I think Schaub will be a decent to good QB in this league, but no QB will look good in this system. Save our trades for something that will help us."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, Hi Im Ben may I have a drink please?
Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
Sorry Boogy, your previous paragraph to the one I was talking about was speaking to Boller, and you didn't note the switch so I thought you were still talking about Boller, not back to talking about Schaub. I don't think Schaub is inaccurate or not intelligent...I was talking about Boller.
And we're in agreement...I'd love to get Schaub in here rather than a draft pick.
Do you honestly still believe that it is the QB posistion by itself that is holding this offense back? Former MVPs like McNair are putting up stats comparable to career back-ups like Anthony Wright.
This system may not be the greatest one out there. But if we had a QB that could consistently get the ball to receivers then we'd have an offense good enough to support this defense the way it deserves to be.
Look at the Bears. They've finally got a QB. You think it's by mistake that they're leading the league in points scored and second in scored against, with Grossman looking all world?

Re: Should we get Matt Schaub?
While I still think that Kyle could possibly develop into a legitimate quarterback, I kind of doubt that the team's going to give him another chance. One thing, however, is clear: this team needs to pony up and get a quarterback for the future. I'm not talking about another aging veteran or third-round, mediocre quarterback, either.
I know the Boller experiment probably left a sour taste in everyone's mouth, but this team needs to draft another quarterback high in the first round either this year, or the year after that. I'm sick of the constant controversy and doubt surrounding the single most important position on the grid iron. More or less every playoff team in the NFL has gotten its franchise quarterback high in the draft, with Tom Brady being the most noteworthy exception.
Look around the league- Eagles, Colts, Giants, Chargers, Jaguars, Bengals, Steelers, 49ers, Cardinals... all of these teams have first round quarterbacks, and I'd bet my house that all of them are set at the quarterback position for a loooong time.
We need to follow suit.
I want the Ravens to draft Drew Stanton or Brian Brohm or SOMEONE this year, have him sit behind McNair for a year, and then put him out on the field and have him throw the damned ball down the field.

Try high quality German Creatine – proven to get you stronger, fast!
This Creapure® brand German Creatine is made by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH and uses a patented manufacturing process that eliminates unwanted by-products often found in lesser quality creatine.
Many of the clinical studies that show creatine can make you stronger were done with Creapure® German Creatine. So here's a review of what creatine does, when to take creatine, how to take creatine and what to mix creatine with.
Fuller, harder muscles
When you want the best, use what National and World Powerlifting record holders use -- Fitness Labs German Creatine. Creatine increases the amount of fluid inside muscle cells to make your muscles feel fuller and give you a harder, more defined look. Creatine also enhances your body's ability to make proteins within its muscle fibers by stimulating the uptake of amino acids. Your muscle fiber thickness increases, so you pack on more mass.*
Bigger muscles faster
Creatine supplementation can speed your muscle growth by boosting the synthesis rate of ATP. Your body uses ATP to power intense muscular movement. With creatine, you can train your muscles harder and longer – and build more muscle in less time.*
A study at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center found that when 8 weight-trained men took 20 grams of creatine per day for four weeks, their average muscle mass increased by 3.5 pounds.
Greater strength and power
Creatine can prolong the amount of time your body remains within the ATP-CP cycle before it reaches muscular failure. More intense workouts mean you can finally break through plateaus. One study found that taking creatine for one week boosted mean power output by 6 percent!*
In the University of Texas study mentioned above, the athletes added 18 pounds to their single-repetition bench press, going from an average of 278 lbs. to 296 lbs. in just one month. (see figure 1)
They also went from 11 to 15 repetitions when they lifted a weight that was 70 percent of their one-repetition maximum. (see figure 2)
A separate study found that a week of creatine supplementation boosts mean power output by 6 percent!The best time to take creatine
If you're in the loading phase (or if you divide your maintenance dosage into more than two doses), spread your doses throughout the day.
It'll give you several "windows of opportunity" to boost creatine concentrations inside your muscle fibers.
How much creatine should you take.
There are typically two phases to taking creatine – a one-week loading phase and a maintenance phase. During the 5 to 7 day loading phase, take 5 grams of creatine 3 to 5 times daily for the most immediate results. Then begin the maintenance phase and take 3 to 5 grams of creatine daily. You may skip the loading phase and start the maintenance phase for a more gradual approach. It will take approximately three weeks to achieve the same muscle creatine saturation levels as loading.
Not just for bodybuilders
Bodybuilders have known how creatine can help build muscle. But, if you play football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, raquetball, box, throw the discus or javelin, row or swim, creatine can likely enhance your performance, too.
In fact, if you play a sport where added muscle strength is a decisive advantage, creatine can almost certainly help you. For example: If you play football or wrestle, creatine can help you overpower your opponents-simply because you can bring more muscle mass and brute force to bear. Generally speaking, you'll find creatine can help you perform at a higher level in any sport requiring short bursts of concentrated power.
Added carbs boost effectiveness of creatine
Carbohydrates stimulate your body to produce insulin which helps transport enhanced amounts of creatine into your muscle cells.
A study at Queen's Medical Center in England found that creatine concentrations in muscle increased by 36 percent when the athletes added 93 grams of glucose and simple sugar to the 20 grams of creatine they took each day for five days.
The most common practice is to mix Pure Creatine Monohydrate with sugar like that found in grape juice. However, grape juice is not nearly as high of a glycemic index sugar as dextrose. Dextrose rates about the same as glucose, about a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100. Table sugar only rates a 59 on this scale.
Or save yourself the mixing hassles and try Fitness Labs CreaFit Creatine Transport.
It's a precise mixture of creatine, high glycemic index carbs from dextrose and a precise blend of glutamine, taurine and phosphates to help drive creatine into muscle cells for maximum impact.

Ew, Girl: 9 Examples Of Gross Shrimp Cocktail Toes
Shrimp Cocktail Toes: You might know it as toe overhang, but we prefer to call it Shrimp Cocktail, after the way toes sometimes hang over the edge of sandals and shoes like delicate shrimps. Ladies, you know when you're buying shoes that are too small, forcing toes to cram in areas they shouldn't, or too big, sliding toes to the end and off the edge of shoes. Keep fit in mind the next time you buy a pair of open-toe shoes, and take a lesson from these celebs: Shrimp Cocktail Toe is definitely not cute.

2001 Mazda Millenia Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2001 Mazda Millenia based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The passages for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system can become restricted or clogged causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The EGR valve will need to be inspected and the passages cleaned.
The oil seals on the supercharger can fail and cause excessive oil consumption and bluish gray smoke from the tail pipe. Supercharger replacement is commonly required to correct this concern, this can also be an expensive repair.
Misfires under load (acceleration) can be caused by the valve cover gaskets leaking oil into the spark plug wells shorting the spark plugs to the cylinder head. New spark plug wires will be needed and the valve cover needs to be resealed.
There are T-shaped vacuum connectors under the intake manifold that can break and cause a rough idle.

Mike has had a few things to say:
Read more at http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/stor...ZZCumKwkdCU.99"He's up for it. That's perfect, he bored the sh*t out of me [during the press conference] but he showed some personality at the end, dropped the Jesus act and f***ing got real for a second," Bisping said.
"Do I have to bring my mouthpiece [to the weigh-ins]? Can he control himself? Is roid-rage going to kick in? Is TRT an issue? Are his levels elevated? I think so.
"Have his testicles shrunk? I think so. Does he have a penis? He is a penis. But just because he is a penis, it doesn't mean he has a penis!"
fucking hilarious. i don't think Americans regularly call people a penis. What did that British guy just say? route one, but comedy gold - especially given that Vitor is very dangerous. he calls a very dangerous opponent a penis, how can you not love that? hahaha
funny how this board doesn't overtly care about UK's top stars anymore. we're over-saturated or something. before the stars broke through, there was a real clamour. now they are there and have been for a while, seems we are just used to it.
anyway - who wins?

Jay Leno
Hosting a late night show is hard work, and last night (October 6) "The Tonight Show" stud Jimmy Fallon needed a little help from his predecessor Jay Leno.
Faking an injury, Fallon blurted out, "I don't think I can continue, but of course, here at The Tonight Show, the monologue has to go on, so I think I'm gonna have to sub out. Can someone tag in for me please?"
While he gave up the "Tonight Show" reins earlier this year, Jay Leno isn't done making great television content.
The CNBC Network has announced that they've signed Leno for a new show, tentatively titled "Jay Leno's Garage" and it'll hit the airwaves sometime next year.
His "Tonight Show" days are over and yet Jay Leno still has a venerable presence in the realm of comedy.
According to reports, the newly-retired star will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on October 19th.
The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel was brimming over with famous folks as the Television Academy held their 23rd Hall of Fame ceremony on Tuesday night (March 11).
Blonde beauties Amy Poehler, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Michelle Pfeiffer all showed up at the swanky affair, all decked out in designer duds.
Making a return to the late night scene, Jay Leno made a surprise appearance on "The Arsenio Hall Show" this Wednesday (February 26).
As Arsenio delivered his greeting, the former "Tonight Show" host sneaked up behind him, "shushing" the audience before making his big reveal, gaining a priceless response!
She was ousted from "The Tonight Show" by Johnny Carson back in1986 after taking a rival talk show on FOX, but Joan Rivers made her triumphant return this week thanks to new host Jimmy Fallon.
The "Fashion Police" star welcomed Fallon to the new gig and afterwards gave a not-so-friendly gesture to former host Jay Leno for carrying on the Carson embargo.
Bidding his heartfelt farewell to friends and coworkers was a fantastic way for the iconic Jay Leno to close his final episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", and his ratings will prove it!
Topping the charts at a towering 14.6 million viewers, Jay's final run at the helm of "The Tonight Show" received its greatest numbers in viewership since the conclusion of "Seinfeld" in May of 1998.
We're all familiar with the drama surrounding Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno, and with the grey haired TV legend's last night on "The Tonight Show" there were some jabs thrown.
Jay's final showed debuted Thursday (February 6) after 22 years in the business, and while his enemies Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman paid their respects, Conan chose a different route.
Bringing an end to his 22-year reign hosting "The Tonight Show," Jay Leno was on the receiving end of some seriously amazing wishes from many of his celebrity pals.
"SexyBack" singer Justin Timberlake tweeted, "Much love to the one and only @jayleno. Thank you for all the laughs and great times! Also... Can I have a car? No? Ok, cool."
The competition between late night television shows has always been fierce, however David Letterman couldn't help but show some love and respect to Jay Leno as he made his last appearance as host of "The Tonight Show."
The "Late Show" host began, "Well, as with the world, tonight is a big night for change in late night television. Our friend Jay Leno [has spent] 22 years as host of 'The Tonight Show.'"

The entire list
A9 TV: July 2nd, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: Morsi must put emphasis on the freedom of women. For instance, they should bring ladies with headscarves next to ladies with revealing clothes and form a joyful environment. They should also have the young people there and give good messages to the public. If women are free in a society, no one can ever say anything against it. If women are under pressure, then everyone would be disturbed by this. A system that oppresses women definitely collapses. A system that liberates women functions very comfortably.
Morsi must speak of love a lot. He must talk about modernity. He must constantly mention democracy, but especially the freedom of women; this must be stressed well. People should hear this and they should show this properly. In Egypt people must hear this and show this properly. There are very brave girls in Egypt. Morsi must have his photographs taken with the most modern ones.
A9 TV: July 6th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: The Muslim Brotherhood must deal a blow against fanatics. They must also get rid of being against Jews. The existence of devout Jews in Israel is a great blessing, it is a great beauty. On the other hand, there is almost no devout people left in Israel. If we do not support a handful of devout people, if we do not support Israel, this would be a great error, a great mistake. They should support Israel and especially the devout people. They should support the devout Christians . Especially we, those believe in God, must watch over one another. The Muslim Brotherhood have to watch over them. They also did this before, but they have to give more emphasis to it.
A9 TV: July 4th 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: Respect is not paid to Christians. A dreadful environment comes into existence. No one would like such an understanding of Islam. No part of the world would like it. They should in no way give in to a repressive understanding of religion. There is no oppression in religion. That is what God said explicitly. If they take these measure, the religion will under all circumstances come to reign. But God has shown them that this would not happen in the absence of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
There are so many young people in the Muslim Brotherhood who favor modernity. They should let the modern young people be free; a robust, beautiful understanding of Islam which is in compliance with the Qur'an must reign in Egypt.
Modern young people must come together; first they must make an ideological struggle against Darwinism, materialism and the essential anti-Christ view. Then they must make it clear that they will live by a moderate Islam in compliance with the Qur'an. Then the army will also support them. So will the Salafis and Christians. Embrace Christians, as they are entrusted to you by God.
31 October 2013, Haber 3
The biggest think tank in the USA released a report detailing what kind of a transformation the Muslims Brotherhood can do to succeed:
1- To take lessons from the experiences of Turkey and the understanding of Islam.
2- Not to externalize the elite .
3- Distance themselves from fanatical groups.
4- To give prominence to women and the young.
5- To educate people on real Islam.
6- Not to question the faith of ladies with headscarves and without headscarves.
