DUTCH MOBILE necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 484 diseños de 90 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Jacques van Echteld. I am the director of Telecom Group. Telecom Group is a company witch will launge several mobile brands in Europe. The first brand to launge is Dutch Mobile. Dutch Mobile will be launged in the Netherlands in may 2010.
Dutch Mobile will be a Mobile Virtual Network Operator of the three main mobile networks in the Netherlands KPN/Vodafone/T-Mobile. This means that Dutch Mobile has not his own mobile networks, but connects Dutch Mobile simcards to these three main mobile networks in the Netherlands. Dutch Mobile buys airtime ( minutes and mobile data) on the mobile networks of KPN/ VODAFONE / T-MOBILE and sells this 25 % under the standard market prices to small and medium sized dutch companies.
Thats why Dutch Mobile has the slogan : We discount mobile networks
Target Audience of Dutch Mobile are all dutch companies witch use more then 10 mobile phones and and are interested in paying 25 % less for mobile usege if the same mobile network can be provided.
Requirements Dutch Mobile logo :
1-Use the colours : orange black and white and grey.
2-Use the slogan : We discount mobile networks ( this slogan may be changed but will be more or less the same).
3-Use a separate sign in combination with the brand name Dutch Mobile witch can be used ( recognised ) seperately from the brand name words Dutch Mobile. Like the mobile network operator Vodafone uses the sign ( rond button shape with a white comma ) seperately from the words Vodafone. This sign only is also used as logo whiteout the brand name words Vodafone.
4-Play with the words DUTCH and MOBILE / Like DUTCH mobile. Important : The word DUTCH is more important then mobile.
5-Play with the colours orange, black and white in combination with the words Dutch and mobile ( other colours are not forbidden but i like these three most).
6-Iff you use letters in the sign use the letters D and or M.
7-Don't use exactly the colours off mobile network "Orange ".
8-Please do not use mobile phones in the logo
9-Please do not use flowers in the logo.
10-Please do try to use mobile network related signs in the logo.
11-Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Hallo Designers,
I appresiate your designs very much. But please watch the Requierements below....
No Designs that look like Dutch stuf like Flowers , bikes or mills etc.
No Designs That look a lot like other mobile network designs like Vodafone ( comma )
No Designs that have full shapes of mobile or other phones in it. I do like ART. So i like a phone as a Art impression. Try it.
Don't let it look cheap. Let it look like an exclusive company ! ( we are a discount mobile provider but we will tell that with our slogan. I don't want to see it in the logo design.
Nobody till now uses waepon shields for the logo. it is a good idea to try i think !
Use mobile network related signs plus try to use the letters Dm.
Art signs are allways welkom. But keep it simpel. A sign witch gives you the idea of a young mobile technologi company witch has good service and good people that help you reduce your cost of mobile telephony.
You make the best Change of winning this contest if you are abel to design a logo with a separate sign witch can be used as a separate sign ( logo ) next to the words Dutch Mobile. If You can include the letters DM in the sign so that people can read it and still is nice to see. You will be one of the top three Designers.
I hoop this is helpfull for you.
Goodluck !
Simcard :
Design a Dutch Mobile simcard.
Business card :
Design a Dutch Mobile Business card. A double sided (full color) business card.
I prefere a model whitch does not stand. On the backside of the business card we envision our logo and either our slogan.
Information on the business card :

I saw a great write up by Pete6 over at CB with respect to how betas leak. Since a lot of people have asked this question figured I share with everyone a very clear and well written piece on this subject.
1. RIM release their proprietary software to their beta testers as they wish and when they wish. RIM OWN the OS so it's theirs to do with as they see fit. They also release these builds to different Partners and ISV's.
2. Beta OSs are leaked by what we may call RIM's beta testers or Partners.. These people have signed NDAs secifically saying that they will not do this. So be thankful that you see them at all. For if these people are caught they could be in serious trouble as I am sure that there are stiff penalty clauses in the NDAs.
3. RIM do read these forums but we constitute such a tiny amount of their user base (13 million phones, 500K on CrackBerry) that we are scarcely worth a blink from them.
4. RIM know what they have put in any given OS. After all, they wrote the code. Why do they need to look at us for what is wrong. Their beta testers are told what changes have been made and what to look for. They tell RIM what happened in extended use.
5. There are differences between beta OSs and carrier releases of the same number. However these are NOT functional differences. Everyone knows that you do not need to delete the Vendor.xml file in a beta OS but you do if you have one carrier's released OS and wish to install it on a different carrier's phone. Also carriers may ask to have their latest theme changes included in their final release. Therefore OS 4.7.0.xxx will be functionally the same worldwide but the beta file may be somewhat different from the carrier release due to what I just said.
6. If you see beta OS releases coming in rapid sucession then you may be sure that there are problems with the base product. We went through this with OS 4.5.0 for the Curves. It was a nighmare because there were 4 Curve models to contend with. OSs were come about one a week at one point. There were all sorts of problems. Now, six months later we have a very stable product.
I really hope that this post will finally dispel some of the myth surrounding beta OSs.

Real-World Review
2014 Infiniti QX60: Real World Review
It used to be that if you wanted to pile seven people into the same vehicle, you'd need a van, a huge SUV or, worse, a wood-paneled station wagon. But the 2014 Infiniti QX60 is the latest in a new breed of luxurious 7-seaters that let you take your large family or your friends -- and lots of them -- wherever you want. In comfort.
Formerly Known as the JX35
The QX60 is actually a renamed JX35, which was only on the market for one year (the 2013 model year). This is the same crossover, powered by the same smooth, 265-horsepower V6, with the same spacious interior and the same pleasant styling. For the record, the new-for-2013 Nissan Pathfinder is also built using the same mechanical stuff and feels very similar behind the wheel.
The Perfect Triple-Date Ride
Crossovers with spacious front- and second-row seats are common, but the QX's roomy third-row seat, which holds two adults comfortably, is one of its best qualities. So go ahead and invite a third couple out on that double date with your besties. No one will complain, especially if you've opted for the large, panoramic sunroof that goes over the first and second rows. As with all new Infiniti products, the seats are comfortable and supportive, and materials are excellent.
Pleasant to Drive, Though Not Terribly Sporty
With its hefty weight, combined with just 265 hp and a killjoy continuously variable transmission, the QX60 is not the most fun-to-drive 7-seater out there (not that there are many 7-toppers that are fun to drive). It is certainly easy to drive, however, with light steering and brakes that engage smoothly and in a linear fashion. It could use more power, but the trade-off is respectable fuel economy (18 miles per gallon city/23 mpg hwy, according to the Environmental Protection Agency).
Parking, too, is a cinch, thanks to Infiniti's clever around-view monitor that gives a birds-eye view of the vehicle, complete with front-wheel trajectories as well as object (and person) detection. As long as you don't take corners too hard when the vehicle is fully loaded, the QX60 is delightful around town.
As a family truckster, the QX60 is particularly appealing, with its full suite of advanced safety systems, including blind spot warning, radar cruise control, distance-control assist, remote start (to warm up the car on cold days) and backup collision intervention, which Infiniti has been touting in recent commercials. Also available are lane-departure warning and a pre-crash preparation system for front-seat occupants. Other niceties include the three years of Infiniti Personal Assistant services, which is like GM's OnStar concierges (or Siri, only human) available at the touch of a button.
Plenty of Competition
The QX60 has plenty of 7-seat competition that potential buyers may also be cross-shopping. The BMW X5 and Land Rover LR3 are cool and have plenty of cache, but the rear seats are small. Ditto the Acura MDX. The Lexus GX570 and Cadillac Escalade are heartier overall and more spacious in back, but far more trucky on the road. The Lincoln MKT is more of a wagon than a crossover, leaving only the far-more-expensive Mercedes-Benz GL-Class as the QX60's most direct competitor when it comes to packaging and on-road comfort for seven.
It's unfortunate that Infiniti changed the name of its JX35 crossover before the model could really get its legs in the market, but if it can overcome the name confusion, the 2014 Infiniti QX60 could make a lot of luxury SUV buyers quite happy.

All over India, an unusual name has been popping up on signs in restaurants and businesses: Hitler.
Yes, Hitler. As in Adolph. Just last year there was even a Punjabi movie called Hero Hitler in Love.
To understand why a name generally associated with mass murder is turning up on storefronts around the country, reporter David Shaftel investigated and wrote about it in a recent issue of Bloomberg Businessweek.
He tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz that he first started to notice the Hitler fascination when he'd pass booksellers around Mumbai.
"Mein Kampf and some various other biographies of Hitler ... are displayed rather prominently," Shaftel says. "Because these guys know what sells."
It's easy enough to spot swastikas anywhere in India – they're a Hindu symbol. The Nazis reversed the image when they made it their sign. "Every now and then, you see one that's the Nazi symbol — that's clearly the Nazi symbol," Shaftel says. "It's something you notice."
"But I'm not sure people know that, and I think that's where some of the affinity — or at least the curiosity in Hitler comes from," Shaftel says. Hitler not only appropriated the swastika — the term Aryan comes from the subcontinent.
More curious for westerners might be the lack of outrage associated with the name. While the better educated classes know some European history, they're a pretty small percentage of India's vast population. "There's no sense in the community that people might be upset by this — and most of the outrage comes from foreign countries," Shaftel says.
As for the movie, Hitler is the nickname of the main character — who has a horrible temper. "Anyone who's a bit bossy, a bit of a jerk, is nicknamed Hitler," Shaftel explains. "And this makes its way into popular culture. There's a soap opera that runs in India called Hitler Didi, which translates as "Big Sister Hitler" – and again, she's a bit cantankerous."
Yet there's no anti-Semitism intended in using the name. Indians just think Hitler was a strong guy — and kind of a curmudgeon. Also, Shaftel points out, when Hitler's campaign in World War II weakened Britain, it also expedited Indian independence.
Meanwhile, word does sometimes spread of Hitler's true nature. Since controversy hit the Hitler clothing store in Ahmadabad, they've started displaying a Gandhi t-shirt in the window.
Let's turn to India, where all over the country, an unusual name has been popping up on signs and restaurants and businesses.
DAVID SHAFTEL: The Hitler clothing store. And there was a Hitler's Cross cafe, Hitler's Den pool hall.
RAZ: Yes, Hitler - as in Adolph. And just last year, there was even a Punjabi movie called...
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Singing) Hitler in love, oh, baby.
RAZ: "Hero Hitler in Love."
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Singing) Hitler in love, oh, baby. Hitler in love.
RAZ: Now, to understand why a name generally associated with mass murder is turning up on storefronts around the country, reporter David Shaftel decided to investigate, and he wrote about it in a recent issue of Bloomberg Businessweek. He says he first started to notice the Hitler fascination when he passed booksellers around Mumbai.
SHAFTEL: "Mein Kampf" and some various other biographies of Hitler - but mainly "Mein Kampf" - are displayed rather prominently, because these guys know what sells. So when I arrived, "Eat, Pray, Love" was out there.
RAZ: A little bit different than "Mein Kampf."
SHAFTEL: You could say that, yeah. And sometimes, you know, the swastika is a - it's a Hindu symbol. It's everywhere. But, you know, every now and then, you'll see one that's a Nazis symbol that's clearly the Nazi symbol. It's something you notice.
RAZ: Yeah. I remember the first time I went to Delhi. You see swastikas all over the place. But, of course, the Nazi swastika was sort of turned 90 degrees or something like that. So it's different.
SHAFTEL: It is different. But I'm not sure people know that. And I think that's where some of the affinity - or at least the curiosity in Hitler comes from is that, you know, he appropriated this Hindu sign, he appropriated this term Aryan which came from the subcontinent.
So a lot of Indians assume that there was an affinity between Hitler and India. More important than a few businesses that pop up or the affinity for him is there's no outrage or there's no sense in the community that people might be upset by this.
And most of the outrage comes from foreign countries - Israel, the U.S. India's Jewish community is quite small. It's 5,300 people, most of them in Bombay - or Mumbai, I should say.
RAZ: So there's a movie called "Hero Hitler in Love." Like, why would somebody call somebody else Hitler in India? What is this supposed to mean?
SHAFTEL: You know, in this case, in "Hero Hitler in Love," this is a love story that has nothing to do with Hitler. But this fellow is nicknamed Hitler because he's got a horrible temper. He tends to fly off the handle.
So anyone who's a bit bossy, a bit of a jerk is nicknamed Hitler, and this makes its way into popular culture. There's a soap opera that runs in India called "Hitler Didi," which translates as "Big Sister Hitler."
SHAFTEL: And again, she's a bit cantankerous.
RAZ: So Hitler is like a - kind of like a loveable grouch?
SHAFTEL: You could say that, yeah.
RAZ: Is it because people in India don't know whole lot about the Nazis or Hitler or what they did?
SHAFTEL: I think that's the case. Generally speaking, there's not a ton of European - and certainly, Jewish - history taught in Indian schools. Now, middle class and upper class Indians, of course, they know these things. But that - the middle class and the upper class are quite small percentage of the population.
RAZ: But your article suggests that this has - actually has nothing to do with anti-Semitism, and it seems pretty clear that it doesn't. It's not the sort of the Hitler affinity isn't about anything other than just thinking that this guy was sort of a curmudgeon and a strong leader.
SHAFTEL: Right. And also that he, you know, were it not for the Axis powers weakening Britain during World War II, that India would've gotten its independence so quickly or so easily. Not to suggest that it was easy, but it came abruptly in the end. And a lot of that had to with Britain's position being weakened in the war. So a lot of people in India see that as a sort of a positive outcome.
RAZ: By the way, what do they sell at the Hitler clothing store? Do they sell, I don't know, jackboots and brown shirts?
SHAFTEL: No. Oddly enough, they - after the controversy sort of flared up, they're prominently displaying a Gandhi T-shirt in the window.
RAZ: That's reporter David Shaftel. He wrote about the popular use of the name Hitler in India for Bloomberg Businessweek. David, thanks.
SHAFTEL: Sure. Thank you.
RAZ: And you're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Well, you know it's that time of year, when just a small, black hole in a blanket makes you think tick. I shake garlic powder on the dogs' food to help them repel critters. I also give them the drops, like Advantax. I have to check myself every time I come in from working on the farm.
And once you find one, you've got the heebie jeebies when anything touches your skin, like say, a thread. I know they must serve some purpose in our ecosystem, but I'm killing every one of those little parasites. Can you tell that I don't care for ticks.

Bob Benson's secret is finally revealed. And, no, it's not teaming with the NSA to spy on SC&P's phone conversations.
But before we get into that, let's talk about Don helping someone else run from the military for a change.
This season has been somewhat slow and slightly spotty, especially when delving into current affairs (see: the MLK assassination, which featured next-to-no perspective from the black characters).
At times, this season has briefly alluded to the Vietnam War, whether it's Kevin's Greg's self-imposed stay in the Army or Ginsberg lamenting the war's 200 body bags a week. But it wasn't until this episode that Don gets entangled in draft dodging.
When Mitchell asks Megan for advice on fleeing to Canada to dodge the draft, Don's convinced Mitch should man up and head to war: "He can't spend the rest of his life on the run." Only Don Draper can pull that off.
When Don and Dr. Rosen head to a bar, however, he changes his tune. He lauds Mitchell for his idealism, playing devil's advocate to Arnie's service-and-sacrifice stance.
But more importantly, Don's bar chat with Arnie was riddled with hints that someone was going to find out about his affair with Sylvia. We just didn't know it would be Sally.
"I've been meaning to knock on your door anyway… for Mets tickets." Even more telling is when Arnie reveals she says she's been lying about little things.
But Don doesn't care about these scares; he's got a woman to win back. With a compromise of his morals -- and a couple of uncomfortable conversations -- he finds a way to help the long-haired Mitchell avoid combat.
But of course, it's not just for Mitchell. He calls Sylvia to tell her the good news. Relieved and grateful, she also asks why.
"I have children, too," he tells her. "I know that's not why you're doing it," she says, seeing right through him.
She then gives Don a bizarre reason for ending their affair. "I hope you know I was just frustrated with you." Is frustration a sign of PTSD? Because that's not quite the emotion I was expecting from a woman who was kept as a sex slave in a hotel room for a few days.
Then she gives the most ass-backwards confession ever: "You were good to me. Better than I was to you." Uh, is she on some sort of weed/LSD/speed/hash mix? Because she's more delusional than Ginsy. (Poor kid. Wonder what he was up to this episode?)
And just like all the other favors he's done for her (cough, money), she repays him with a lunchtime quickie, interrupted by Sally.
Arnold, unaware of Don's selfish motives, visits the Drapers during dinner and praises him for his heroism.
"You are the sweetest man!" Megan coos, kissing him.
"You make me sick!" Sally shouts, running to her room.
Don chases after her and gives her a the lamest excuse: "I was comforting Mrs. Rosen." That might as well be the "dog ate my homework" excuse for philanderers.
Wiping away her tears, she mumbles, "OK."
There's nothing else she really can say. Walking in on your parents is traumatizing, but finding out your dad is having an affair, even if it's not your mother he's cheating on, is heartbreaking.
Sally has been a "Mad Men" fan favorite because she's the only flickering hope for normalcy in a toxic and dysfunctional family. Sure, she's been acting-out with her parents, but with parents like hers, that's a reassuring sign.
As long as she rebels by standing up for herself and not by running away to join squatters in the village, there is hope for her. And how she deals with her father's infidelity is a clear indication of whether she'll lead a functional or destructive life.
But Don's biggest concern isn't how his daughter is handling this news. It's who she'll tell. Megan? Unlikely, since she's on such shaky terms with her that she addresses her as "Mrs. Draper." From the teaser, it seems like she'll confide in Betty.
(Side note: I tend not to take teasers seriously, especially when the "Favors" teaser showed Peggy unlocking the door frantically. What she was running away from seemed much more dangerous than rats. In this case, however, Betty does say that something is bothering Sally.)
But does Betty have much room to judge after their night in the cabin? Of course not. Then again, this is Betty. Unpredictable, unbalanced and unforgiving Betty. Look out, Don.
As for the feud between SCDP and CGC, it rages on in a showdown between Ted and Don.
Ted berates Don for bringing up the war to keep Mitchell from being shipped off to 'Nam, a buzzkill of a dinner topic with Chevy. And Roger's Hemingway joke about blowing your brains wasn't morose or grossly inappropriate?
Ted's hissy fit isn't just about mentioning the Vietnam War. It's about the war on juice. Yes, juice, as in the kind you drink, or in SC&P's case, mix in cocktails.
Don, bewildered, tells him not to take it so personally. Newsflash, Ted: Don's a grade-A narcissist. He's so self-absorbed that he barely notices anyone unless they can give him something he wants. And if he wants to duke it out with you, you will most certainly know.
Ted, of course, is a narcissist in his own right. Everything is about him, even when it isn't. And any negative attention is good attention, especially when it comes to his worthy opponent, Don.
Eventually, the two come to an armistice of sorts: Don gives Ted his juice -- all the juice -- and Ted will put in a word for his buddy at the Air National Guard.
Ted secures one small work victory. His home life, however, is another battle. After coming home late, Ted is chewed out for not spending time with his young boys. Even worse, he's obsessed with work, especially the people there.
"I know you like having a young copywriter in your airplane," she says. Is she hinting that he's been unfaithful before? Or does she just know her husband well enough to know when something is up?
"And I know you like facing Don Draper every morning more than the clients." This woman knows her husband -- certainly better than Megan or Betty knew Don.
Later, we see that Ted's not able to shower his wife with affection after coming home late from work, since she's sleeping. But unlike Don, he's able to spend a fleeting -- and incredibly adorable -- moment with his kids.
How sweet was that piggyback ride he gave his son? Fat chance we'd see Don doing that with Bobby or Gene.
Luckily, the charming moments didn't stop there. In a slightly awkward yet endearing get-together, Peggy is out for drinks (err, research) with her new love interest, Ted, and her old flame, Pete.
As despicable as he is, it was refreshing to see Pete and Peggy shooting the breeze, acting chummy and discussing her awkward conversation with Pete's mother.
Their past is as checkered as Ted's eyesore of a suit, but there's no reason why they can't get along now. At least when booze and juice is involved. It certainly doesn't hurt that Pete admits that Peggy exceeds him professionally. "Please don't tell me you pity me," he gripes sorrowfully.
Showing up your douchebag ex at work and flirting with your boss who is clearly smitten with you in front of said ex? Peg's got it in spades. Now all she needs is a rat-free apartment, Abe excluded.
Back to Pete's momma drama: Pete is outraged that Manny, his mother's caretaker, is releasing "a fire from her loins." Bob, resident brown-noser, assures him that "when there's true love, it doesn't matter who it is."
With the grazing of his knee against Pete's (or wide stance, if you'd prefer), that's when it all clicks: Bob Benson isn't some mole from a competing agency -- he's gay. And hitting on Pete of all people. Ew, Bob can do so much better.
Suddenly, those short shorts make sense. The only person with a finely tuned gaydar was an emotionally fragile Ginsberg during his mental breakdown last week: "What are you, a homo?" I figured that was his homophobia and/or paranoia talking.
Pete, far from the beacon of tolerance, rebuffs Bob's pass. "Tell him I'll give him a month's pay. And tell him it's disgusting." Clearly, he's not just talking about Manny nursing his enamored mother.
Bob, mustering a smile, says, "Of course," and walks out of Pete's office with his chin up. All those motivational books and tapes must have prepared him to cope with that sting.
Bob had better not be fired for his sexuality, like Sal was. Anyone who can boss Pete to quell his temper tantrum is worth keeping on payroll.
BEST ROGER ONE-LINER: "Not all surprises are bad," after juggling oranges. Roger. Juggles. ORANGES? First Ken tap dances a storm, now Roger juggles oranges? "Mad Men" becomes some sort of Vaudeville/variety show, and I love it! What? I'm a sucker for gif-worthy entertainment.
MOST DISTURBING MENTAL IMAGE: Peggy turning over her couch to find a mortally wounded and stuck in a trap rat flipping around. Blegh. Bummer Abe didn't get that shabby and rat-ridden dump in the cohabitation agreement. At least she has a cat now.
BEST HOOKUP WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE: Peggy and Stan. She called him in the middle of the night to help with her rat problem, offering a li'l something in return. Yes, I'd like to see them hook-up, but only as a one-and-done-type deal (too much of a stoner for our Pegs), and ideally not in a "I'll whore myself out if you kill this rat" type of situation. Have standards, Peggy.
MOST VALUABLE WORK-RELATED LESSON: Don't send too many memos. That goes for emails, too.
BIGGEST SIGH OF RELIEF: Sally knows not to play dumb to get guys. There is hope she won't become like her mother after all.
WORST TWEENER GAME: The fold-up "Things I like about Mitchell" game. Did MASH (Mansion Apartment Shack House) or the paper fortune teller not exist back then? Or did I have a deprived tweenhood for not playing this game at recess?
MOST DISAPPOINTING ABSENCE: Joan. We saw more of Christina Hendricks during the Johnnie Walker commercials than the actual show. Fingers crossed that means she's been working hard to land that Avon account.
BEST BURN: "You don't have a lot of friends, Don, so I'm going to assume it's important." Ted, who really doesn't have any room to talk, not when his wife needs to remind him to enjoy life.
PERSON WE'RE HAPPIEST TO SEE ALIVE: Megan. After all the theories floating around last week, including on this blog, the Internet had declared Megan dead already. Don't hold your breath, Megan fans (yes, I'm sure they exist). There are still two more episodes left. Dun dun dun…

Code Black
Of course Obama talks differently to different groups. So do most politicians.
Harry Reid's comment that Barack Obama could get elected because he was a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," may not have been artfully put. But subtract the poor choice of words— Negro sounds more fuddy-duddy than racist—and the statement, reported in the book Game Change, is fairly uncontroversial. Not only is it undeniable that Obama's skin tone and way of speaking had something to do with his election. Reid was praising Obama for one of the oldest political skills there is: the ability to adjust one's speech, and one's mannerisms, to different audiences.
Obama's knack for tweaking how he talks—or code-switching, in linguistics terminology—was on display during the campaign and after. At fundraisers in New York, he'd put on his professorial lilt. In front of mostly black audiences in South Carolina, he'd warn them against believing rumors that he was a Muslim. "They try to bamboozle you, hoodwink you," he said, in a deliberate homage to Malcolm X. On the Ellen show, he won the week by doing a harmless dance that drove the mostly white audience crazy. After a particularly rough debate in North Carolina, he referenced Jay-Z by brushing dirt off his shoulders and got a standing ovation. In an interview with Steve Kroft, he talked about college football and getting a dog. In an interview with MTV's Sway, he complimented his interviewer—"You look tight"—and emphasized his policy position that "brothers should pull up their pants."
Obama's code-switching isn't limited to style. The substance of what he says changes, too. In front of a Wall Street audience in September 2009, he politely but firmly cautioned against dangerous credit-default swaps. On 60 Minutes three months later, he excoriated "fat cat bankers"—something he probably wouldn't have said to their faces. The practice famously got him into trouble during the campaign when he told an audience at a San Francisco fundraiser that in small-town Pennsylvania, some people "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them." No doubt he would have phrased the sentiment differently in small-town Pennsylvania.
Code-switching—or code-mixing, or style-shifting—is as universally derided as it is universal. In day-to-day life, it's seen as somehow deceitful—a betrayal of one's true self. In politics, it's considered the worst kind of pandering. Hillary Clinton was mocked when she affected a drawl for black audiences. John Edwards got smacked by William F. Buckley for putting on "a carefully maintained Southern accent." "Poor-mouthing," as one Edwards fan put it to me on the campaign trail.
But these kinds of adjustments are as endemic to politics as campaign slogans—and a lot more telling. "The gut reaction is it's a form of dishonesty, but a lot of people would say it's being a good politician," says Carol Swain, a law professor at Vanderbilt University who studies race relations. Code-switching occurs anytime a politician is trying to represent more than one group of people. In other words: pretty much always. As a senator, LBJ brought out the full drawl when he went home to Texas, versus his speeches on the national stage. Huey Long mastered the switch between his Louisiana dialect and a Washington patois.
Anyone who wants to represent a state or a country composed of different ethnic groups needs to find ways to relate to each of them. In New Mexico, that might mean learning some rudimentary Spanish. In South Carolina, it's droppin' your G's. In Wisconsin, it's knowing your cheddar varietals. Some call it pandering. Others call it campaigning.
Not only is code-switching standard in U.S. politics, it's necessary. The last president who spoke in a flat, patrician, newscaster style was George H.W. Bush. Every president since then has spoken a mixture. Bill Clinton could turn on the Southern twang. George W. Bush could, too, with an evangelical flavor. Those who can't, suffer. John McCain, says John McWhorter, a linguist at the Manhattan Institute, lost in part because of the way he talks—stiff, nasal, unfolksy.
Future candidates will learn the hard way. "Mitt Romney will not go anywhere because he cannot be verbally warm," McWhorter says. "If Republicans have a great white hope—of any race—they have to be able to not sound like a Republican."
Within reason, of course. Change your accent too much, and you sound like a fake. When Barack Obama tells a cashier at Ben's Chili Bowl, "Nah, we straight," it doesn't sound put on—even thought it may be. When Michael Steele says he's going to "come to table with things that will surprise everyone—off the hook," he sounds nearly as out-of-touch as Harry Reid. And Reid, when he made his controversial comments, was engaging in his own kind of code-switching. It's hard to imagine him saying the same things in front of Obama himself—or any African-American—rather than two middle-aged white reporters.
As much as American politicians code-switch, however, they don't do it nearly as much as politicians in other countries. What in the United States is implicit—oh, Hillary's doing her cowgirl thang again—is explicit in countries like Canada, where politicians literally have to speak two different languages. Two of Canada's greatest politicians, Brian Mulroney and Pierre Trudeau, were able to speak English as native English speakers and French as native French speakers—huge assets in a country where speakers of one language judge outsider politicians harshly. Likewise, politicians in Taiwan often employ the country's various languages—Mandarin, Taiwanese, Japanese—to make a political point. In a crowd with many different ethnicities, for example, a politician might switch among languages in order to symbolically smooth tensions.
American code-switching is relatively subtle. And Obama, ironically, is one of its more subtle practitioners. As Zadie Smith pointed out in her essay on Obama and language, his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention demonstrated his ability to pivot nimbly between cultures, sometimes in a single sentence: " 'We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states.' Awesome God comes to you straight from the pews of a Georgia church; poking around feels more at home at a kitchen table in South Bend, Indiana." If Harry Reid noticed it then, he held his tongue.

Question: Do you install Bathrooms?
Answer: Because bathrooms are tailored to the space they are built into, we do not offer a fitting service. This does not mean that we do not know what we are talking about when it comes to buying a bathroom to be fitted! Our Bathroom Experts herald from plumbing and bathroom backgrounds.
Question: How can you offer so cheap bathroom suites, what's wrong with them?
Answer: There is nothing wrong with our bathroom suites, they are cheap because we manufacture and source our bathroom products directly from the factory.

Question: Do you ship to Europe?

Cutting Through The Bullsh*t: UFC 182 Edition
After an abundance of trash talk, a pre-fight press conference brawl, asking pussies if they're still there, technical breakdowns, and moving betting lines, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier duked it out for five rounds in an early "Fight of the Year" candidate, which went exactly how most of us thought it would. The main card of UFC 182, however, was pretty putrid.
Our excitement was at an all-time high, which is rare nowadays when it comes to MMA in general. This truly felt like 2008 all over again, but sometimes, we rely on nostalgia to compare upcoming fight cards that may or may not be worth viewing live.
Nevertheless, Jones vs. Cormier lived up to the billing, as both light heavyweights engaged in a dogfight at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV., this past Saturday night.Read More DIGG THIS

FARMINGTON — A Jay man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing two teenage girls.
Joshua Welch was also sentenced last week to six years of probation after pleading guilty in October to 10 counts of unlawful sexual contact with the girls, who were under age 16. The state dismissed a gross sexual assault charge as part of a plea agreement.
Prosecutors say the abuse occurred between Jan. 1, 2007, and Aug. 15, 2011.
The Sun Journal reports that one victim told the court she doesn't think she will recover from what was done to her.
A lawyer for the 32-year-old Welch says his client took responsibility so the victims would not have to testify in court. Welch apologized in court.

Is there anything better than rocketing down a straightaway in a modified first-gen Camaro with your foot buried to the floor? Perhaps one thing: turning at the end of it. Lift, brake, downshift, turn. g-forces press you into the side of a highly bolstered seat. Then it's back on the gas. Hard. We're having some fun now!
Conversely, is there anything worse than a car that has the look, but can't back it up with the performance? Like something with a giant hood scoop feeding an otherwise stock six-banger, there's something about pretenders that rubs us the wrong way. If you've got the Pro Street look with humongous rear tires and half your engine coming out of your hood, you better be able to show much of the motoring world your taillights in an acceleration contest.
Same for Pro Touring. A lot of cars have the look. Carbon-fiber this and that, low stance, and wide wheels with low-profile tires. But can it really hang when the road of life starts throwing you curves? When we saw Bill Panouses' '68 Camaro at our National Collector Car Day Open House in Tampa, we were instantly drawn to the craftsmanship, the highly modified-but-tasteful red interior and the overall sinister look. We loved that he drove it to our office a fairly long distance, despite a dicey weather report that promised he could be spending days cleaning it up afterwards.
As we drooled over every inch and marveled at its numerous one-off touches, we gave him the old, "Boy, we'd love to drive this on a road course and test it for the magazine," to which Bill essentially replied, "Sure. When?" Gee, that didn't take much convincing. His only caveat was that he and builder Tom Argue (of Tom Argue Design, St. Petersburg, Florida) were not 100-percent happy with the fit and finish of the carbon-fiber hood. We gave them some time to get it 100-percent to their liking, then arranged for a track day and photo shoot on the road course at Auto Plus Raceway in Gainesville, Florida. We're happy to report that Bill's car performs as advertised. It's a g-machine that can pull some serious g's.
Unlike most of the handling cars we've tested for Super Chevy, the suspension on Bill's '68 is a combination of systems from different manufacturers. The front clip is all Speedtech components, while the rear is from Chris Alston Chassisworks. While this seems contradictory at first, it's also quite common in the hobby, whether you're building a street car, drag car or corner carver. In this case, it was born out of necessity.
I was doing the build on a budget and wanted to do something different.
"At the time, I followed a lot of threads about Pro Touring-type builds on the internet," explained Bill, who works in the automobile finance industry, and has been building and enjoying classic Chevys since he was a teenager. "I was doing the build on a budget and wanted to do something different. Speedtech's front clip and suspension fit my budget, but they didn't have rear suspension components yet.
"Tom recommended the Chassisworks system. It had just come out and, again, I wanted to try something different."
Evade represents Bill's finest hot rod. While he's done most of the work on all his previous builds, he knew the scope of this project was beyond his capabilities. That's why he enlisted Argue Designs to do the bulk of the work.
The Speedtech front clip uses a Unisteer rack and stock GM spindles with Speedtech tubular A-arms. QA1 coilover springs and adjustable shocks are aided by a Speedtech 1.25-inch sway bar. Brakes are Wilwood Dynapro 6 calipers and 12.19-inch rotors (front and rear). Bill chose Chassisworks' complete Camaro g-bar Canted 4-Bar Suspension System for the rear (PN 5804-F10). There are multiple adjustments available with this system, allowing you to tailor the suspension to your liking. Bill chose VariShock single adjustable coilovers and a 5/8-inch Chassisworks sway bar to round out the rear suspension. Everything was installed by Argue.
Rolling stock consists of bold Forgeline VR3P wheels with grey centers, 18x8.5 front and 19x10 rear (5.90 inches of backspacing at all four corners). The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 2s (245/40ZR18 and 275/35ZR19).
Power comes from a 6.0-liter LS2 with a set of Livernois Motorsports Stage 2-ported LS6 heads. The cam is also from Livernois, with 0.595-inch lift (intake and exhaust) and 232-degree duration, and the rockers from Jesel. A FAST 92mm intake and throttle body are in charge of induction, while a Walbro GSS340 electric pump and 42-pound injectors supply the dyno juice. Exhaust is handled by Stainlessworks 1-3/4-inch stainless headers and 3-inch exhaust. A Vintage Air black anodized LS front-runner drive system turns the accessories. Evade made 450 rwhp with this mild combination.
The trans is a Tremec T56 six-speed with a Centerforce DYAD dual-disc clutch. We found it to be an ideal combination. We never came close to missing a gear on the track and the clutch itself had good feel, but was not too heavy.
The cockpit is nothing short of a work of art. The headliner is black suede. Bill added Torch Red C4 Corvette seats and a super-trick custom console built by Argue and John Sanborn that employs carbon-fiber bits, as well as pieces from a late-model GTO. This put all the power window switches in one location on the console (not to mention it added a pair of cupholders). There's a booming stereo from Pioneer (Avic 7010) and JL Audio speakers, amp and subwoofer. The steering column and wheel are Flaming River parts and Auto Meter was tapped for the gauges. The only thing missing was a shoulder harness, which really detracted from our road course performance. With this much grip, it was all I could do to stay in the seat.
When someone's as generous as Bill and let's you take his one-of-a-kind toy for a flogging, you take a couple of laps go get acquainted. We knew right away we were in for a good time. The car ran perfectly, accelerated smoothly and stopped well. As noted before, the trans shifted beautifully. As the fluids came up to temp, we let the Camaro eat. The LS2 planted me hard in the seat. I shifted at 6,200 rpm into Second and Third. Everything was going well, but when it came time to slow after the longest straight, the pedal went to the floor and I overshot the corner. Fortunately, this came at a spot on the track that had plenty of paved runoff.
As I drove around, the brakes worked fine, but if I tried to use them after putting the spurs to the LS2 for a long period of time, they wouldn't respond. According to Wilwood, this could have been due to piston knockback in the calipers. My technique became simple: Drive like hell, but in the track's two longest straights, I would lift early. This gave me enough brakes to slow down and turn, but not achieve my best times.
The road course at Auto Plus Raceway is known for its unusual curves. All are off-camber, and a few are 180 degrees or more. Once we got our driving technique down with the brakes, we were really able to enjoy ourselves. The first thing we noticed was the aggressive way the car turned in. The steering was direct, responsive, and the tires just bit into the pavement. The car would go exactly where you pointed it, and the rear dutifully followed along. The entire package was remarkable neutral. Upon corner exit, you could really put the throttle down and the fat Michelins would plant themselves.
Oh, there were a couple of complaints. While we love the look of the pedals from Clayton Machine Works, heel-and-toe driving was just not possible. The brake and throttle were in different zip codes. The lack of shoulder harnesses and seat bolstering really worked against me when the car was doing its job properly. Still, the lap times were very good. We ran a best of 1.08.53, squarely in fifth-gen Camaro SS territory, and if the brakes were functioning normally, we'd have been able to knock at 2-3 seconds a lap from our times. As it was, we were losing a ton in the big straights, and more time in some of the faster corners, as we were being extra cautious, lest we mangle someone else's car. Bill reports that since our track day, he's driven Evade on the street, and the brakes are working perfectly. Go figure.
Franky, while this combination of parts was chosen in part because of what was available from the aftermarket at the time of the car's construction, it couldn't have worked much better. Everything performed in perfect harmony. We especially liked the steering, which was OE quality.
Add all this performance in a package that's walked away with some serious show awards, and you've got an amazing combination. The car debuted in Speedtech's SEMA booth in 2009 to much acclaim. In 2011, it won the ISCA award at the National Street Rod Association's Southeast Street Rod Nationals, and the Chip Foose award at the 2012 Downtown Disney Car Masters Weekend. When he's not displaying it, Bill says he "drives it like I stole it." He's put thousands of miles on the Camaro, though he's so fastidious about its maintenance that you'd never know it.

Lane Kiffin Bolts for USC
...and takes his daddy with him! LOL What a wuss. Guess he couldn't handle the day in and day out war of coach and recruiting in the SEC so it's of to USC where the recruiting and games are easy.
Tennessee's Lane Kiffin has been named the next head coach at Southern California, athletic director Mike Garrett announced on Tuesday.
Kiffin replaces Pete Carroll, who jumped to the NFL as coach of the Seattle Seahawks.
"We are really excited to welcome Lane Kiffin back to USC," Garrett said in a statement. "I was able to watch him closely when he was an assistant with us and what I saw was a bright, creative young coach who I thought would make an excellent head coach here if the opportunity ever arose. I'm confident he and his staff will keep USC football performing at the high level that we expect."
The hiring was first reported by ESPN.com.
Kiffin, the former Oakland Raiders coach, led the Volunteers for only one season. Kiffin has been on the move of late. He was 7-6 in his one season at Tennessee and 5-15 in one-plus seasons with the Raiders before being fired in September 2008.
He was a member of the USC coaching staff from 2001 to '06, first as wide receivers coach and then as offensive coordinator under Carroll.
Kiffin's contract calls for him to pay a $800,000 buyout for leaving Tennessee after only one season.
"Those payments shall be made in monthly installments over a 36-month period," the contract reads. It was not immediately clear if USC would pay any of that sum. Joe Robbins/Getty Images After only one season at Tennessee Lane Kiffin is headed to Southern California. In another part of the blockbuster staff changes, a deal is being finalized for longtime offensive coordinator Norm Chow to return to the Trojans in the same capacity, sources close to the school told ESPN's Shelley Smith.
The current UCLA offensive coordinator held that position with USC from 2001-04. He was also the coordinator at Brigham Young from 1973-99, at NC State in 2000 and with the Tennessee Titans from 2005-07.
Kiffin will bring his father and defensive coordinator, Monte Kiffin, and assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron to Southern California with him.
Sources tell ESPN.com's Chris Low that Tennessee wide receivers coach Kippy Brown will be named interim coach of the Volunteers. He had been given the opportunity to follow Kiffin to USC as well.
Orgeron was with the Trojans for seven seasons before becoming the head coach at Mississippi and then an assistant with the New Orleans Saints.
Lane and Monte Kiffin and Orgeron will hold a news conference on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET in the Heritage Hall Varsity Lounge at USC.
Some USC players were excited about the hiring of Kiffin.
"It's great news," starting quarterback Matt Barkley told ESPNLosAngeles.com's Steve Mason. "I remember meeting Kiff way back on the recruiting trail when I was a freshman in high school. I liked him when I met him. I like that he knows how to live and breath the Trojan way."
Barkley who was tapped by Carroll to start as a true freshman and helped lead the team to a 9-4 record and a victory in the Emerald Bowl on Dec. 26, also expressed relief that there will be stability in terms of offensive system.
"It's comforting to know that not a lot is going to change," Barkley said. "Kiff will have his own way of doing things, but I'm glad the offense isn't going to be a whole lot different."
Running back Marc Tyler is also on board.
"This is really good," he told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "Lane is great. He's got a lot of energy. I talked to him and coach [Steve] Sarkisian all the time when I was coming in. This is really good." When told Orgeron was coming with Kiffin, he said, "Wow, Really? That's awesome too."
Garrett had been quiet about the hiring process until dropping this bombshell. "Lane brings a lot to the table," Garrett said. "He has a coaching background both in the pros and in the best collegiate conferences. He has a great command of the X's and O's. He is familiar with the Trojan landscape and will be a great representative of our university. He keeps the game fun. And, very importantly, he has proven to be one of the finest recruiters anywhere."
The 34-year-old Kiffin is one of Carroll's top disciples from his nine-year tenure at USC. Kiffin, a former Fresno State quarterback, worked his way up to offensive coordinator in 2005 while also showing impressive recruiting skills.
For two seasons, he shared responsibility for the Trojans' offense with fellow longtime Carroll assistant Sarkisian, who left USC to take over at Washington after the 2008 season. Although Kiffin's forceful personality didn't make him a beloved figure among players or administrators, he was a key part of the Trojans' best years under Carroll, coordinating their passing game and providing instruction to quarterbacks Matt Leinart and John David Booty.
Kiffin then became Al Davis' unusual choice to take over the Raiders as a 31-year-old coach with almost no NFL experience. He made it through just 20 games before an ugly public firing in which Davis called Kiffin a liar who brought "disgrace" on the Raiders.
Kiffin was the youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision last season, but he also brought an unwelcome spotlight on the Vols with several minor NCAA violations. He returns to USC with the school facing a yearslong NCAA investigation over events during his tenure as an assistant, including Reggie Bush's final years at the school.
Kiffin was suggested as a candidate immediately after Carroll's departure became official Sunday, but many Trojans thought he wouldn't be willing or able to leave Tennessee after just one year. Several coaches with USC ties said they weren't interested in the job, including NFL coaches Jeff Fisher and Jack Del Rio and Oregon State coach Mike Riley.
Monte Kiffin will lend his defensive acumen to a school that annually fielded an impressive defense under Carroll, while Orgeron is likely to return to his role as the Trojans' best recruiter who helped stack Carroll's early USC teams with a dizzying array of topflight talent.
Chris Low covers the SEC for ESPN.com. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
"May God have mercy on those who doubted his Saints."

Re: Lane Kiffin Bolts for USC
I actually liked USC... not anymore with Kiffin at HC. Not because I don't think he's going to be a good coach there, but he's not someone I would trust my kids with. UT parents and players must feel really lied to right now. He comes into people's homes selling parents to trust him with their child's future only to have him bolt on them after a year. I just think that's a cowardly thing to do.

Email from TN Booster:
Kiffin-USC Timeline
Here's a relatively detailed and informative timeline of events compiled by
the VolQuest staff regarding Lane Kiffin's abrupt departure to become head
coach at Southern Cal ...
Last Thursday night, Lane Kiffin and Ed Oregeron planned to fly to San
Antonio to begin meeting with parents of prospects at the U.S. Army
All-American Bowl; it's the same time that Alabama is beating Texas for BCS
title. Pete Carroll serves as guest analyst for ESPN but never indicates
change is coming.
So how did Tennessee go from having a coach hot on the recruiting trail
stirring chatter of a top 3 class to starting a search for a new head coach
on January 13? Here is the timeline of events over the last week that has
led the Vols to this point.
- By noon Friday, Lane, Orgeron and Monte Kiffin are in San Antonio. They
don't arrive the previous night in order to accommodate Monte Kiffin's
request to join them on the recruiting trip.
Meanwhile, chatter about Carroll leaving USC for the Seattle Seahawks, who
fire Jim Mora after just one 5-11 season, is running rampant. Speculation
continues throughout the weekend that Carroll is going to accept the
Seahawks' offer reported at five years for $35 million
At the same time, the Vols keep recruiting and pick up key commitments from
Ahmad Dixon and Brandon Willis Friday night and Saturday afternoon
- On Sunday, Kiffin sits courtside with a significant donor for the Vols'
win over Kansas in basketball, walking off the court triumphantly with Bruce
Pearl and the two shared a hug caught on camera.
By now, Mike Riley of Oregon State and Jeff Fisher of the Tennessee Titans
reportedly have told USC no thanks to replace Carroll, who is officially
hired by Seattle by this time.
Reports surface that the Trojans then target Jack Del Rio, a USC alumnus and
head coach of the Jackonsville Jaguars. Del Rio turns down USC midday
Tuesday, though speculation focuses on former NFL coach Steve Mariucci.
Meanwhile, Lane Kiffin begins to be in contact with USC officials Monday
It's still considered a longshot at this point. But when Del Rio apparently
says thanks but no thanks, things move at a lightning-quick pace with Kiffin
- Though he's in Orlando representing UT at the SEC meeting conducted at the
AFCA convention there, Kiffin also is in constant contact throughout the day
with USC officials, agent Jimmy Sexton and Vols athletics director Mike
By around 7 p.m. ET, Kiffin has agreed in principle to be the Trojans' next
head coach and makes clear he will bring his father, Monte, and Orgeron,
with him. He also moves swiftly to hire Norm Chow as his offensive
coordinator. The two previously worked together at USC, and Chow has just
wrapped up a brief stint at rival UCLA.
Tennessee officials around 7:30 inform players of a called meeting at 9:15
p.m. Tuesday night
Players are confused by the meeting; they already have conducted a 90-minute
meeting the previous night that was in preparation of the start of the
spring semester that begins today.
- The story breaks around 8:30 p.m., though speculation has run rampant
prior to this. Hamilton is in Denver, Colo., on official business for the
University of Tennessee. He receives a very brief, concise phone call from
Kiffin informing Hamilton of Kiffin's decision to leave. There will be no
changing Kiffin's mind.
During a brief and contentious meeting with players at 9:15, Kiffin is
confronted about Orgeron calling current Vol commitments and early enrollees
about joining them at Southern Cal. Players place a call on speakerphone and
eyewitnesses say that Orgeron is heard trying to recruit players to USC.
Kiffin says it's not him and that he has no knowledge of the matter and that
he cannot control Orgeron. Kiffin is reminded in blunt, if not explicit,
terms that he's the one who hired Orgeron.
Within minutes, Orgeron's university-supplied cell phone is shut off
- After expressing their displeasure in Kiffin's final team meeting, players
begin filing out of the Neyland-Thompson Complex where several were
overheard calling Kiffin and the departing staff traitors. Defensive end Ben
Martin is in the middle of Johnny Majors Blvd. screaming "Bring back Phil,
- At roughly 9:45, after calling a recruit, Kiffin briefly gives a statement
to a group of media members. Kiffin has indicated he will take questions if
the TV cameras are not rolling during this time. WBIR news director Bill
Shory becomes the centerpiece of the controversy, refusing to allow his
station's cameras to be switched off or to not roll video footage during
this time. Kiffin then refuses all questions, speaks roughly 90 seconds and
Kiffin is chased down the hallway and asked questions, finally responding to
what he told players and what their reaction was
Meanwhile, an angry mob on campus continues to swell in numbers and
intensity. Shirts are ripped and burned; signs bear any number of messages,
most of them involving the term traitor
The Rock is painted with an explicit message for Kiffin
- As the players continue to file out the mob gets more rowdy and moves up
and down Johnny Majors Blvd. at the sight of headlights or noise of a car,
hoping to catch a glimpse of Kiffin so they could offer their "farewell"
- Meanwhile many support staff members are unable to leave because the crowd
becomes centralized and is blocking the entrance way to the staff parking
lot of the Neyland Thompson Sports Complex
- Around 12:30 and with a police escort, Kiffin is driven from campus. His
luxury car is left in its regular parking spot. Kiffin visits briefly with
VolQuest, indicates his plans to work a half-day today and then fly to L.A.
to be introduced as Southern Cal's replacement to Carroll. At his home,
police are stationed outside to prevent any potential issues with fans.
- Meanwhile, at 3 a.m., Monte Kiffin is still in the complex and indicating
he'll spend the night there. Football operations director David Blackburn, a
vital cog in this same process a year ago following the firing of Phillip
Fulmer, assumes a similar role -- and all too familiar position. Blackburn
can't spare the time to drive home and hunkers down for a long night inside
the complex.
Hamilton has landed a few hours earlier in Nashville but already is in
meetings centered on finding Kiffin's replacement. Today at 1, Hamilton will
answer questions.
This much is clear to all who witness the bizarre scene unfold: It's Time to
figure out the new direction of Tennessee football
Hey Goodell . . . This year we will kick ass for free!

Re: Lane Kiffin Bolts for USC
My question is how does a coach, who went 5 and 15 in 1.5 seasons at the Raiders, and 7 and 6 in one year at the Vols a "hot" coach?
He was fired by an NFL team and kicked out the door on his butt for lying, then he gets hired by a "storied" Tennessee football program, then leaves and gets hired by another "storied" football program in USC... and he waited and bolted on the Vols when it was convenient for him.
I just don't get it.

text: Dade Posted August 27, 2008 Biography Ken Hoang (22) Hometown: Westminster, California Occupation: Professional Gamer Ken Hoang gives a new meaning to the term "gamer." Known to the gaming community as "the King of Smash," Hoang is a professional at his craft. As the current international champion of Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Melee video game, Ken has traveled the world from Japan to Australia to prove his dominance. Hoang uses his tournament winnings to help support his family. He and his siblings still live at home to help pay the mortgage. It has also led to a strong bond among his brothers and sisters. In fact it was his sister that started his addiction to SURVIVOR. While he may seem like an interesting choice for a game based in the outdoors, this gamer sees it as an amazing opportunity. Ken is very creative, and has a strong passion for art, a skill he is currently going to college to fine tune. When not playing videogames or brushing up on his art, Hoang enjoys playing with his pets, a Maincoon cat named Kinski and a Husky named Monster.
