John A. Sullivan (born January 1, 1965) is an American politician who was the U.S. Representative for Oklahoma's 1st congressional district (based in the Tulsa area) from 2002 to 2013. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Sullivan was initially elected in 2002. On June 26, 2012, Sullivan lost renomination to political newcomer Jim Bridenstine in what was considered a major upset.[1]
Early life, education, and early career[edit]
Sullivan was born in Oklahoma City and graduated from Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa. He subsequently entered Northeastern State University, where he received a B.B.A. in marketing, in 1992. Prior to holding elected office, Sullivan worked in the private sector for Love Travel Centers as a regional sales manager and for BAMA Transportation as a fleet manager.
Sullivan was a Republican member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1995 to 2002, where he served as minority whip.[2]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
In 2002, incumbent Steve Largent resigned from Congress to focus on his campaign for governor. Sullivan entered the Republican primary for his seat running against the incumbent governor Frank Keating's wife, Cathy, in the Republican primary—the real contest in this heavily Republican district. Sullivan won the February special election and went on to hold the seat in the general election in November.
During the 2004 election campaign, Sullivan's police record became public. Local media concluded he had at least three arrests:[3][4] for assault and battery of an off-duty police officer in 1982, when he was 17 years old,[5] and for public intoxication and disturbing the peace in 1985, while still under-age. The most recent arrest, at age 27, was due to an outstanding bench warrant issued after he failed to appear in court for a traffic violation.
Sullivan voted to make the PATRIOT Act permanent, without any future option for Congressional review or revocation.[6]
In the 110th Congress, he served as an Assistant Minority Whip under House Minority Whip Roy Blunt.[7] He held the same position in both the 111th and 112th Congress under Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy.
On October 3, 2008, Sullivan was one of two Oklahoma Republican congressmen to vote for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which created the Troubled Assets Relief Program.[8] On December 9, 2008, Sullivan voted against a bailout of the automobile industry saying "taxpayers should not be asked to reward failure by subsidizing the very business practices that got them into this situation in the first place".[9] He also was a proponent of the 2009 Tea Party protests which condemned any bailouts, and also spoke at a rally in Tulsa.[10]
On December 16, 2010, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) named Sullivan as the vice chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Power.[11]
In December 2011, Sullivan was named a co-chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee's most significant fundraising effort of the 2012 election cycle, the annual March dinner.[12] The dinner was viewed as a tremendous success, drawing in a record breaking $12 million for republican Congressional candidates across the country. NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions of Texas praised Sullivan and the other co-chairman saying they did "a phenomenal job in their efforts to make this years event a huge success".[13]
Sullivan was tapped to serve on the House Energy and Commerce Leadership team for the 112th Congress.[14] He was the primary sponsor of H.R. 1380, the New Alternative Transportation to Give America Solutions (NAT GAS) Act of 2011, legislation designed to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil by encouraging more natural gas powered vehicles on American roads.[15]
He introduced legislation to study the cumulative economic impact of twelve significant EPA regulations which was passed by the House Energy and Power Subcommittee on May 24, 2011.[16] In February 2011, Sullivan offered an amendment to block the EPA's decision to sell a higher blend, E15, ethanol gasoline for late model cars which passed by a vote of 285-136.[17] Sullivan also sponsored the Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation (TRAIN) Act of 2011 (H.R. 2401), "to require analyses of the cumulative and incremental impacts of certain rules and actions of the Environmental Protection Agency, and for other purposes",[18] which has passed the House and will go on to the Senate.[18]
On February 22, 2012, at a town hall meeting in Bixby, Sullivan said shooting senators would be the only way to pass the Ryan Budget: "You know but other than me going over there with a gun and holding it to their head and maybe killing a couple of them." The next day he released an apology through his spokesperson.[19]
On June 26, 2012, Sullivan was upset in the Republican primary by Jim Bridenstine.[20]
According to the American Conservative Union, Sullivan was consistently among the most conservative members of Congress. He received a 100% rating from the organization in 2009 and 2010 earning their the "Defender of Liberty" award both years.[21] He is opposed to all legalized abortion, believes that life begins at conception, and opposes stem cell research on embryonic cells. He has been rated 100% by the Christian Coalition for his views.[22] He is opposed to gun control and has been commended by the National Rifle Association for his position.[23]
He supported a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning[24] and wishes to strip the independent judiciary of the ability to decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of the Pledge of Allegiance. He had been rated as 0% by the ACLU on civil rights issues.[25] He also supported continued U.S. military involvement in Iraq and opposed any "rapid troop pullout".[26]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Committee on Energy and Commerce
- Subcommittee on Energy and Power (Vice Chair)
- Subcommittee on Environment and Economy
- Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations (Vice Chair – Energy and Power)
Personal life[edit]
He and his wife, Judy Beck, have four children.
On May 28, 2009, Sullivan entered the Betty Ford Center in California to receive treatment for his addiction to alcohol.[27]

Celebration of Easter in Corfu is part of a unique experience, and part of an extensive calendar of religious and cultural activities different from anywhere else in Greece and particularly more impressive for first-time visitors to the island, Including traditions such as the Easter Saturdaymorning at 11.00am is the time the Pot Throwing starts, this is to mark the First Resurrection.The Pot Throwing tradition dating back to the Venetians who used to throw all their old and useless objects and pots out of their windows on Jan1st, Just as we celebrate new years eve by opening the doors and windows to let the old year out and the new year in, and of course not forgetting the banging pans, fireworks, sounding of horns and sirens. This tradition is now carried on by local Corfiot people all over the Island, from corfu town and surrounding villages.The Corfiots really love festivals, but also take their Greek Orthodox Religion Very very seriously. With almost two thousand years of religious traditions in which various components all come together harmoniously, the Orthodox Christian faith, pagan traditions, the powerful presence of Saint Spiridon, the Roman Catholic community, the Venetian influence, genuine Corfiot humour, the music of the philharmonic bands and of course the spring atmosphere.Holy Week throughout Greece is characterised by its church services, by fasting, and by the anticipation of the Resurrection. We recommend that during Holy Week you venture out of Corfu Town and into the countryside and villages to see all of the Celebrations.As you drive into the countryside and you will notice that the Island is moving towards springtime and the season of fertility and renewal, and enjoy its scents which is far better then any of the most expensive perfumes, after the dull weather of winter, with its rain and cold weather, the sunlight underscores the fresh colours of nature, with a rainbow of colours from all the wild flowers bursting into life, the blue of the sky and the sea.
Will you be able to celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter in Greece on your trip?Have you spent Easter in Corfu before? If so why not add your experiences to our forums.Here are enough Greek Easter dates to keep the most avid advance planner happy, from 2010 to 2023.Every few years, "Western" (Catholic and Protestant) Easter and Greek Orthodox Easter coincide;These years are indicated by (same) following the date.2010 - Easter Sunday - April 4th (Same)2011 - Easter Sunday - April 24th (same)2012 - Easter Sunday - April 15th2013 - Easter Sunday - May 5th2014 - Easter Sunday - April 20th (same)2015 - Easter Sunday - April 12th2016 - Easter Sunday - May 1st2017 - Easter Sunday - April 16th (same)2018 - Easter Sunday - April 8th2019 - Easter Sunday - April 28th2020 - Easter Sunday - April 19th2021 - Easter Sunday - May 2nd2022 - Easter Sunday - April 24th2023 - Easter Sunday - April 16th

Officers David Roussine, left, and Michael Konatsotis stand with Mayor Bill de Blasio as the two men were honored by the city on Monday.Credit Rob Bennett/NYC Mayor's Office
Mayor Bill de Blasio honored two NYPD officers who saved a baby on Saturday while on patrol in Manhattan.
The officers responded to an emergency call from the panicked parents of 15-month-old Norah Schechter after she stopped breathing in their Upper East Side apartment.
De Blasio — who exchanged handshakes, hugs and laughs with officers Michael Konatsotis and David Roussine — called them epitomes of public servants who serve as examples of the NYPD's readiness in extraordinary circumstances.
"When they got that dispatch call, it didn't matter if they came from different time frames – in terms of their time of service – it didn't matter that they were fairly new partners, it didn't matter that they were in a precinct they weren't used to," de Blasio said. "They answered that call urgently and immediately."
Roussine, 25, joined the force 18 months ago. Konatsotis, 45, is a 16-year veteran of the NYPD and has three kids of his own.
Konatsotis told reporters that they hadn't exchanged too many words with he family, but he did give his collar brass — the precinct number that officers wear on their uniform shirt collar — to the parents for Norah whenever she's older.
"You know, everybody's calling our actions heroic, and me and Mike realized that we were just in the right place at the right time that day," the junior officer said.
The room broke into laughs when Konatsotis recalled the saving breath he had given the baby moments before pulling into the hospital.
"As soon as I gave the last rescue breath, the baby burped," Konatsotis said. "And it was the greatest sound, you know, that I'd heard. And I know my wife doesn't, but when I burp but– I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry. But, you know, it was the greatest sound."

Official Title ICMJE | Effect of HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors on Endothelial Function and Glucose Metabolism in Normal, HIV-Uninfected Subjects: Atazanavir or Lopinavir/Ritonavir or Placebo | |||
Brief Summary | HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) are a class of antiretroviral drugs used to inhibit viral replication. They do so by interfering with a key step in the replication process. Some HIV PIs have been associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular side effects. Further study is needed, however, to assess the full extent of effect of newer HIV PIs, including atazanavir and lopinavir/ritonavir, on cardiovascular disease risk. This study will compare the effects of atazanavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and placebo on certain cardiovascular disease risk factors in healthy people without HIV. | |||
Detailed Description | Antiretroviral therapy for HIV, particularly with the use of PIs, is associated with an increased risk of heart attack. Specific cardiovascular side effects seen with the use of some PIs include insulin resistance, abnormal blood lipid levels, and endothelial dysfunction (abnormalities in the cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels). Past studies have shown that treatment with indinavir, an older PI, results in significant endothelial dysfunction, which may be the main cause for the increase in cardiovascular risk. Indinavir is now seldom used in clinical practice, and the newer PIs atazanavir and combination lopinavir/ritonavir now account for nearly 70% of total PI use in the United States. It is not known what effect these new PIs have on endothelial dysfunction. This study will compare the effects of atazanavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and placebo on certain cardiovascular disease risk factors, including abnormal glucose metabolism and endothelial dysfunction, in healthy people without HIV. Participation in this study will last 4 weeks. All participants will undergo initial assessments that will include various vascular and metabolic evaluations. Body weight, height, basal heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will also be measured. Participants will then be assigned randomly to receive 4 weeks of treatment with 400 mg of atazanavir per day plus placebo, 400 mg/100 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir twice per day plus placebo, or placebos for both drugs per day. Upon completing the 4 weeks of treatment, participants will repeat the initial assessments. |

A group of Japanese whalers has failed to win an injunction against U.S. anti-whaling activists, as a federal judge refused their request for protections from boats owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
The ruling was made in Seattle, where the whalers' group, the Institute for Cetacean Research, had filed suit. In addition to restraints on Sea Shepherd, the whalers were hoping the judge would impose a freeze on the activists' finances.
From the Northwest News Network, Tom Banse reports:
"U.S. federal district court judge Richard Jones did not give a reason for denying the request for a preliminary injunction. It would have prevented the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society from interfering with the Japanese whaling fleet."
"Outside the courthouse, a spokesman for the whalers, Gavin Carter, expressed disappointment."
"'At the end of the day, you can't have lawlessness on the high seas. You can't have anarchy on the high seas,' he said. 'There has to be some structure under which ships can go about their legal business.'"
Sea Shepherd attorney Dan Harris tells Banse that his group, based in northwest Washington state, doesn't believe whaling is a legal business.
"If a heroin dealer came to federal court and sought an injunction to be able to continue to sell their heroin in a particular neighborhood without interference from anyone," he says, "I have no doubt that the court would turn them down."
The group of Japanese whalers insists that its crew members have come under dangerous attacks, by smoke bombs and projectiles filled with either paint or butyric acid. It maintains a webpage listing the alleged attacks.
Clashes between the two groups are also documented on the TV show Whale Wars — including one incident in early 2010, when a collision between two ships resulted in a Sea Shepherd vessel's bow being sheared off.
The AP reports, "Japan's whaling fleet kills up to 1,000 whales a year, an allowed exception under a ruling by the International Whaling Commission. Japan is permitted to hunt the animals as long as they are caught for research and not commercial purposes. Whale meat not used for study is sold as food in Japan, which critics say is the real reason for the hunts."
Japan's whaling season runs from November or December to February or March. Last year, the country ordered an early halt to the Antarctic season, citing potentially dangerous interference by Sea Shepherd.

U.S. News Texas: Inmate Advocates Work to Close Lapse in HIV Treatment After DischargeJune 30, 2011 Efforts are underway in Texas to ensure that inmates receiving HIV treatment do not fall out of care once they leave the correctional setting. "Navigating a hospital system is daunting if you have been incarcerated since 19 and never had to deal with it," said Shannon Hilgart, associate executive director of the AIDS Outreach Center. Ex-prisoners coming home to Tarrant County often are referred to AOC, whose case workers see two to three such clients a month. The changes enacted at the state level are having some success, officials say. Typically, the University of Texas Medical Branch sends former prisoners' paperwork along before they arrive, said Brenda Herndon Johnston, an AOC care and treatment manager. And one worker at THMP is dedicated to processing applications from ex-offenders. "They have it working without delays so, when the client comes in, we get the process rolling as quickly as possible," she said.

- - Flax seeds - how much to feed?
Flax seeds - how much to feed? Basically, it's in the title... :) I want to add flax seeds to the diet, but... How much should I feed? They get very little pellets with added BOSS (like lb/twice day). |
I'm assuming that you know to add the new food gradually over a few weeks, I would go to max about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup. You could also talk to your vet about what he thinks is right for your horses. |
:-)You should check out OMEGA HORSESHINE - an awesome product - 1/2 to 1 cup daily (I use 1/2) - it is stabilized and freshly milled and human food grade. It has a shelf life of 1 year so you don't need to refrigerate or worry about the consumption rate. It has made quite a difference in my horses! |
Thanks, folks! |
I buy milled food grade flax seed at Walmart and add less than probably 1/4 cup once a day and wow! My arab mare was glowing the dark in 3-4 weeks - lol! |
Flax An old TB trainer turned me on to flax in 92, I buy it from Landmark, 50lb bag is about thirty dollars, and add up to 1/2 a cup. Benefits range from skin and coat, to immune system, you will love it. |
I learned from an horse shoer that flaxseed works well as a joint supplement too. We use it on our old horses and it has worked amazing. We purchase our from a local wholefoods co-op and the secret it is you buy it whole and then grind it with a coffee grinder which releases the omegas and good stuff. I feel a old bute container with it and then give them 2-3 scoops (old bute scoops) once a day and it works great. |

The vornskr was a canine beast that could hunt using the Force.
The vornskr, native to the planet Myrkr, were a wild, vicious canine species that had the unusual ability to sense the Force. This ability evolved to help them hunt ysalamiri, but a side effect caused them to think that Force-sensitives were their favorite prey, including Jedi in their appetite.
To counteract this hunting method, the ysalamiri developed the ability to project a "Force bubble," inside which no Force abilities could be used.
Vornskrs were primarily nocturnal hunters, and used their whip-like, mildly venomous tails to stun prey before finishing it off with their teeth. They were normally sedate during the day, but hunger or other factors would drive them to hunt during daylight hours.
Before Jedi Master Mace Windu refined it into Vaapad, the Form VII style of lightsaber combat was referred to as the Way of the Vornskr.
Tyber Zann was known to use such creatures within the Zann Consortium. After taking the younger vornskrs away, the pups were trained as effective hunters for enemy troops that managed to escape the confines of their imprisonment.
The smuggler Talon Karrde kept two vornskrs, Sturm and Drang, as pets and guard animals, and considered offering them for sale as guard animals. He discovered that cutting off their whip-like tails was similar to castration, since it removed most of their hunting aggression, a fact he detailed in an article published in the Galactic Zoology Monthly.
During the Peace Brigade attack on Yavin 4 during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Talon Karrde outsmarted the Peace Brigade by leading them into the hands of Kam Solusar and his wife Tionne. He achieved this by commanding his two vornskrs to find the Jedi and allowing the Peace Brigaders to follow the trail. Once he found the Jedi, the Peace Brigaders were effortlessly disposed of. During this pretended Jedi hunt, Talon Karrde convinced the Peace Brigaders into thinking that he was the owner of the last two remaining vornskrs. The Peace Brigaders seemed to believe him; however, the Yuuzhan Vong were informed by the traitorous New Republic Senator Viqi Shesh that the vornskrs hailed from Myrkr. The Yuuzhan Vong then used the species as a biological template for the voxyn.
Vornskrs were also used as guards in the Dark Force Temple on Dromund Kaas.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
by Mary Wilson (follow me on Twitter)
It's on the big screen. It's all over Twitter. You reference it on Facebook, your online dating profiles. It drives you to finish those marathons (I still don't get this one), to learn French, to swim with sharks, to take up cooking. It's such a phenomenon, it's even got it's own ".org" now.
It's the Bucket List.
It's not a revolutionary concept. It's just catching like wildfire, that's all. We're all fascinated by the thought of finishing monumental, important, spontaneous to-do's that we truly believe will make us feel satisfied on that last day we spend on earth.
But all this list-making has left me fixated on something else. The why. Why is it that we have no problem blasting through a laundry list of tactics – the languages, the continents, the books we want to read, the people we dream of marrying, the skill to basket weave underwater. And yet, when it comes to the real deal - leaving a lasting legacy - we sometimes flop before we ever allow ourselves to begin the journey? We lose our confidence and become world record breakers in the blame game (more on that in a minute).
I like to think of a legacy as the attributes, the experiences, the lessons that we're all contributing on a daily basis that impact those we leave behind. Strangers, loved ones, acquaintances, everyone. It's our business ideas, our inventions, our social movements or even that blueberry pancake recipe we tweaked with a little love (and some help) from the kids.
The art of leaving your legacy is one of my chart-topping favorite topics to talk about. I don't care who you are, you're hearing my opinion on it. The cab driver, the landscaping guy, my two-year-old niece…prepare to chat! I'm so intrigued by what I'm personally doing to build on the legacy that will (hopefully) live on once I've taken my last breath – it drives me to find out what you're doing too.
I took a leadership course at Southern Methodist University once, with a professor and employee performance expert who got me thinking. Mel Fugate spent a significant amount of time instructing and observing the minds of those sleep-deprived MBA candidates (you know the type, you very well may have been one), and their reactions to a little thing he likes to call 'Bucket List vs. Obituary'. (Okay, so that's what I like to call it – but that's beside the point.)
In that course, Fugate asked us to complete two assignments. The first, a bucket list (you know the drill) and the other, to write our own obituaries. "Imagine standing at the end looking back. What do you see?," Fugate asked us. He did this to encourage us to find our own forward-looking vision that is the true expression of our "higher level intrinsic motives." The obituary exercise all came down to a personal vision and imagining the ultimate destination for your life and what you want to leave behind. Something powerful happens when we take ourselves out of 'the now' and focus some serious brain power on the words that would hypothetically sum up our existence when we're long gone. Remember - "You can't connect the dots looking forward," as Steve Jobs said. "You can only connect them looking backwards."
No longer is it so important that you learned to cook a new meal every week for a year, but now the focus turns to how many thousands of families you touched by creating healthy cooking videos that were then posted on YouTube and viewed by moms who were previously hardcore fast foodies. You see, it's not so much about the line items on the list as much as it's about those that are impacted.
So what's the ultimate cause of this giant chasm that lies between your oh-so-tactical bucket list and your world changing legacy-to-be? There are some things holding a few of us back (me included) from leaving the legacy we really want to leave. Have you caught yourself falling into one of these categories?

A new shrimp pattern I've been working on...

Floating shrimp
Thanks guys for your replies,
Using deer hair as in the Bomber Shrimp is a sure possibility which I will still try.
First I tried using foam, underneath a (not too thick) layer of epoxy. With the thin sheets of foam it did not work, the buoyancy is not enough to make it float. It does swirl very naturally though as it becomes about weightless. When I used a cylinder of foam (regularly used for boobies) the buoyancy was o.k. Step 2 was to simplify the pattern in order to be able to tie them fast enough but still have it looking catchy. I don't like flies on which I had to spend more time tying it then being able to fish with, it holds you down on risky casts/spots (where in general you will find the better ones) I have enclosed a picture of it, showing its buoyancy. Now it should be possible to present the fly just above the bottom. By twitching it it will move closer to the bottom and vice versa.
Unfortunately it will take some time before I will be able to try it: sea bass, as stripers, move out of our region into The Channel during winter. As soon as I have any results I will mention it.

Picture the Frankford Creek being used for recreation. That's just one of the changes city planners have outlined for the Lower Northeast.
Included in the planners' vision are solar panels on the Frankford Transportation Center and its parking garage as well as improvements, more parking and investments to the Frankford Avenue and Castor Avenue business corridors.
Planners have pitched these ideas, which they hope will develop in the next 20 years or so, in three public meetings over the past several months. The last of those sessions was conducted last week at the Globe Dye Works on Worth Street in Frankford.
During that Aug. 7 meeting, 14 staffers from the City Planning Commission explained the long-range plans for the Lower Northeast — Frankford, Northwood, Summerdale, Oxford Circle, Castor Gardens and Lawndale/Crescentville.
Seventy-six people turned out for the session, said community planner Ian Litwin.
"We haven't reviewed all of the feedback yet," Litwin stated in an e-mail to the Northeast Times on Aug. 8, "but it seems that the overwhelming majority of the feedback was positive."
Among the ideas for Frankford:
• Extend Womrath Park, which sits at the intersection of Frankford and Kensington avenues, to the Frankford Creek by joining adjacent underused property. Right now, a water garden is being constructed in Womrath Park. Murals are planned for several sites in the immediate area.
• Transform Church Street into a pedestrian corridor by making streetscape improvements, creating corner pocket parks and promoting redevelopment.
• Improve the Frankford Avenue streetscape and reduce bus circulation in front of the Frankford Transportation Center.
For Castor Avenue:
• More commercial development, helped by signage standards, street trees and better lighting to heighten awareness of existing international restaurants.
• More mixed-use housing.
Throughout the Lower Northeast:
• Rezone portions of Oxford Circle and Lawndale/Crescentville to reduce conversions to multifamily housing.
• More enforcement of rental license violations and more checking on illegal conversions of single-family properties to multifamily dwellings.
• Consider increasing transit options along the Roosevelt Boulevard.
• Realign the intersection of Oxford and Frankford avenues to simplify pedestrian and vehicle circulation. Right now, it's not legal to make a left onto Oxford from northbound Frankford Avenue.
• Create a greenway along both sides of the Frankford Creek from Castor Avenue to Torresdale Avenue that includes a recreational trail.
Litwin said the Planning Commission will finalize its Philadelphia 2035 plan for the Lower Northeast this month. City legislation will be needed to implement parts of the plan, and that would require bills being introduced by City Council members. The Lower Northeast has pieces of six of the city's 10 councilmanic districts, he said. ••

Last night, the Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin hosted a special screening of the Game of Thrones Season 4 premiere episode. Hundreds of fans gathered to be some of the first to see the new episode, and were also treated to a Q&A session with Michael McElhatton, Kristian Nairn, Liam Cunningham, and Ian McElhinney.
Independent.ie spoke with the cast on the red carpet, who discuss their Irish co-star Jack Gleeson and his decision to stop acting once his run on Game of Thrones comes to an end. Michael McElhatton talks about the fan reaction to his Stark betrayal, and Ian McElhinney discusses the Thrones phenomenon and his character Barristan Selmy. The cast also tease this season's big events and body count.
Spin 103.8 has some soundbites from Liam Cunningham on the possibility of ending Game of Thrones with a movie, and Michael McElhatton on what's in store for Roose Bolton in Season 4.
The Daily Edge went to the premiere armed with one very important question for the cast. Which Game of Thrones character would they kill off and why?
Liam Cunningham: Who would I kill off?I think it's pretty obvious isn't it? That Melisandre. That Red Woman has to go doesn't she? She's the bane of my life.
Michael McElhatton: I think you've got to get rid of Joffrey, haven't you? He's just horrible, I can't think of ANY redeeming features for him so he'd be my top most hated character.
Ian McElhinney: Oh… well I'd certainly kill Joffrey. Now Tyrion is dead on, he's a loveable rogue and he's got to survive. Jaime is becoming a better person so he'll probably survive. Even Cersei is getting some redemption because the father is SUCH a b***ard. So the father has to go, and at some point but not yet because she's so good in it, Cersei's got to go as well. I've got my sights on the Lannisters.
Kristian Nairn: I would actually kill Bran because we sort of traced back all the problems to him falling out that window and disobeying his mother. If he had just not climbed he wouldn't be handicapped, he wouldn't have started a war with Westeros so it actually all comes down to that.
TV3 also interviewed the cast, but unfortunately for most, the video can only be viewed from Ireland.

Would YOU Rather?
Hi all,
I haven't seen this on the forum, so I thought I'd give it a shot at creating it. Basically, one person asks a 'would you rather' question, and then the next person answers with a brief explanation and then asks another. I'll start it off. Would you rather trade you Jeep for a Prius, or trade your Jeep for a Hummer? |
Would you rather live in the mountains or at the seaside? |
Would you rather eat meat from the grocery store, or go hunting and get your own meat? |
Depends on what we are hunting. Wabbits? Huhuhuhuhuhuh!
Yeah, I would rather hunt it than buy it, but I sure do like cow and pig, which aren't really wild here. Would you rather live in a major city of a country without knowing the language or live in the wilderness alone? |
Major city without knowing the language. I don't need to know what she is saying, just be present please.
Would you rather be poor and happy or rich and miserable? |
Would you rather spend all day watching tv on a big screen or all day at the beach? |
All day at the beach! I hate being inside.
Next would rather date an Amish or would rather date a Somoli pirate woman? |
(you don't need to type "next", that's the other thread)
I would prefer the Amish, I hate not being able to trust someone. Would you rather a true blonde or true redhead? |
True blonde without a doubt.
Would you rather go to a nfl Super Bowl or a final series of a MLB World Series? |
Already been to the World Series, so Superbowl for sure.
Would you rather be mauled by a shark or lion? |
A lion, because shark maulings are too mainstream.
Would you rather not actually go down on a goat but everyone thinks you did, or actually go down on a goat and nobody knows? |
Alright ill take one for the team. I would rather not do it and have people think I did. Who cares what others think anyways. Your a sick person by the way!
Would you rather drive a Prius or a Mini Cooper? Though one ain't it? |
I would rather drive a Mini Cooper, to me they look cooler.
Would you want to fishing or go hunting? |
I don't really do either, but I would rather go hunting.
Would you rather drink expensiver beer or inexpensive wine? |
Expensive beer any kindA wine (cheep or expensive) gives me the worst hangover.
Would you rather get high or get drunk? |
Drunk. I'm not into drugs.
Would you rather eat broken glass, or poop broken glass? |
I would rather just poop it! If you eat it you are still going to have to poop it later...
Would you rather drive during a road trip or ride shotgun? |
Wow that's a good one. I rather drive I think only because I like being in control.
Would you rather drive across the country or fly |
I rather drive, I would do a loop going through the northern states then return through the center states. I haven't seen much of the central country, just east coast and west coast.
Would you rather sit in the aisle or the window of an airplane? |
Definitely a window, I like to look out at stuff. I also hate being sandwiched in between two people.
Would you rather be George of the Jungle, or Tarzan? |
Tarzan. George is a moron...
Would you rather live in the Alaskan mountains alone, or in the southwestern US desert alone? |
Wow, I'm the wrong guy for this one but, I would prefer the Alaskan mountains. Never been in a desert before.
Would you rather have explosive diarrhea or extreme vomiting? |
Diarrhea, I have the WF app now, so i'll sit on the John all day long! Lol
Would you rather be able to fly or have invisibility? |
I would rather have invisibility so I can scare my grandpa out of his wheel chair.
Would you rather be filthy rich and have everyone hate you, or be dirt poor but have all the friends in the world? |
Filthy rich and hated. I'd buy a tropical island and leave the haters behind.
Would you rather be smarter than you are now, or better-looking than you are now? |
Better looking. I'm already smart enough for my liking. lol
Would you rather fly across the ocean or take a boat? |
I would rather fly, I mean who wouldn't want to fly.
Would you rather run a Tough Mudder or Ironman? |
Especially in those planes ^
Would you rather spend all day watching TV, or spend all day doing cardio exercises? |
Watch TV.
Would you rather cut one of your thumbs off with a rusty butter knife or remove one of your legs from the knee down with a 12 gauge shotgun. Both instances are to save your life. The leg is instantaneous but more traumatizing and harder to live without where as the thumb is easier to live without but is MUCH more deliberate, time consuming and torturous. |

Meet Me, Date Me, Love Me. I hope I can bring some new and fresh ideas to my role as model and actress. I think there is probably nobody better qualifed to do this than you, sitting at home, reading this. I can only hazard a very approximate guess at what is going through your mind as you watch my movies and look at my pictures. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the inside of your mind. It goes without saying that every female dreams of having her dedicated and loyal fanbase. I am no different, I too hope that I will be able to suitably distract some of you into watching and monitoring my progress very closely. All ideas on how I can represent a model and actress just a little bit more special to you than other models and actresses should be sent to me without hesitation. I'm going to be taking a lot of time to consider how I can be different for you. With so many other gorgeous women to choose from, it's going to take a real fight to keep your eyes on me. One idea i've had, which excites me a lot, is to make myself available to my best, most genuine, and sincere fans. Your direct support and enthusiasm for my videos and photo sets, will make you directly responsible for any popularity and success I achieve, so why not show my appreciation to you by letting you fuck me ? It's all about sex, so let's make it all about sex. It seems the most normal and natural thing to do. I'm going to call this my; 'Meet Me, Date Me, Love Me' facility. I think by far the most common comment made to me is; "I wish I could fuck you" You can and I trust some of you will. I don't want to be just another model or actress that you cannot reach. I want to be a model that you can reach, a model you can touch and a model you can fuck. I don't know who you are, or where you are, all I know is that we're going to fuck together. I hope this is getting you as excited, as excited as it is getting me. What I'm hoping to inspire and nurture in some of you is; "I don't care what it takes, I'm going to fuck this Bitch" Having sex with a total stranger is a powerful erotic concept for many males. I have news for you ... One of the most enjoyable aspects about being a female is I only need to slip into a tight skimpy pair of shorts that bite the inside of my pert little ass cheeks, leaving very little to the imagination and go out by myself unaccompanied for many males to all draw the same conclusion; "She's asking for it" That is all it requires. I will get fucked that night, there are simply no exceptions to the rule. If the Hotel collapses while we are checking in, then hours later once all of the commotion and excitement has begun to simmer, you will still want to get your cock in me before we part company. Sexuality is as powerful as that. I think it is fair to say that corresponding female sexual arousal patterns leave most males feeling that we are a total mystery. It's simply not true. "Everything you think you have learnt, is probably a lie" There is a wealth of surveys and investigations based on female sexual chemistry awaiting the quite obvious conclusions of anybody willing to go and find out. We now have access to everything. Two of the most common female sexual fantasies surveyed from females themselves are thus, 1. A price tag on her ass. 2. Wild and hot sex with a faceless male. If number one does not represent Prostitution and number two does not represent sex with a stranger then you are not drawing the same conclusions as the overwhelming majority of sexual experts. From my own experience over the years there are many fewer sexual divides between how a male thinks about sex and how a female ACTUALLY relates to sex, than society would have you believe. What does exist in enormous quantity within the sexually oppressive society in which we choose to live, is the indoctrination in how a female should think and should relate to sex. That is what is keeping us apart, but that is another discussion for another day. I think somewhere along the line, I decided to throw out everything about what I had been taught about who I am, who I ought to be and who I should be and took the mental decision to try and discover who I wanted to be. I found my true self. I am exactly who I want to be. Sexual intercourse with a perfect stranger is an intensely exciting proposition. So who from amongst you, all out there, will be having sex with me ? The answer is simple. I don't know. But more importantly I don't want to know. What I want to know is that I will be having sex with some of you. Preferential treatment will be given to my best and most loyal fans who are prepared to have my intimate liason of my appreciation with you filmed and photographed to appear on watchme.com next will come those who are prepared to pamper and spoil me, including being amongst two, three or more males who will share me and fuck me at the same time. So no real indication of who you are ? Well, there might be some trends, you'll certainly be much older than me, the older the better. There's a very good chance you're already married or divorced. Your overall appearance will be far less important to me than compared to what your packing in your pants, how much you want me and what you'd like to do to me. The rest it would appear is entirely up to you !

Video: Skeeter Nash Sings "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down"
On Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014, I made my debut as the "official" drummer for the Flag City Opry band in Edna, TX. It is truly an honor to get to play with such a fine group of musicians, and to get to back up all of the great singers and guests on the show! Here is a video of me singing a song that was a hit by the Mavericks back in 1996.

There Are A Milli Ways That Lil Wayne Shines, Start Counting!
Whether you like him or not, one thing you can't deny is the fact that Lil Wayne is the hardest working artist in the game right now. He just closed out one of the biggest tours for a hip hop artist in Houston on September 11th and had the number one album for over 3 weeks with "The Carter 4". Now there's another notch to tighten on the belt.
