The Forelli Crime Family is an Italian-American Mafia family based in Liberty City and served as the main group of antagonists in GTA Vice City, as well as the secondary antagonists in Liberty City Stories alongside the Sindaccos and Portland Triads.
The Forellis used to work for the Leone family during an unknown time, but decided to establish their own syndicate for unknown reasons.
Acting under orders from Sonny Forelli, his friend and boss, Forelli Family associate Tommy Vercetti (about twenty years old) went to kill a key mobster but ended up killing eleven men in Harwood, Liberty City, thus earning him fifteen years in prison and the nickname "The Harwood Butcher". This was later revealed as being a setup by Sonny.
In GTA Vice City Stories, Giorgio Forelli attempts to kill Phil Collins in Vice City due to Barry Mickelthwaite owing Giorgio Forelli money. Victor Vance kills all the hitmen squads sent therefore saving both Phil and Barry.
By 1986, the Forelli family were the most powerful Mafia family in Liberty City. In GTA Vice City, the Forellis had decided to expand "down south" by establishing relations with local drug cartels through recent ex-con and former Forelli associate Tommy Vercetti and crooked lawyer Ken Rosenberg. However, this never happened due to Sonny Forelli's death and Tommy's defection. Giorgio Forelli faced charges for fraud, but is acquitted due to Tommy's interference. After Sonny's death, his brother, Marco Forelli, became the family's new don.
In GTA San Andreas, it was agreed the Forellis would own an equal share of Caligula's Palace casino in Las Venturas, along with the Sindacco and Leone families. The Families couldn't decide between themselves who should run the casino. Therefore, Ken Rosenberg was put forward as a neutral party, which any war between the families ignite, Rosenberg will be killed.
While Johnny Sindacco is at the hospital for being traumatized, Marco decided to take the moment to kill him, by sending his goons to hijack his ambulance. Rosenberg becomes aware of the hit, and sends Carl Johnson to retrieve Johnny's ambulance before a war is ignited between the families. However, Johnny later dies from an induced heart attack, and Salvatore Leone returns to Las Venturas to reclaim the money that he invested in the casino from Rosenberg. Marco later sends Forelli hitmen to kill Salvatore, who was aware of the hit, and he decides to send Carl to kill the hitmen in their flight before they arrive in Las Venturas. The hit leads to Salvatore to strike back by sending Carl to Liberty City, to kill Forelli members and Marco, himself, while at the Marco's Bistro.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Forellis deal with the death of Mayor Roger C. Hole, who was working for Franco Forelli, the leader of the Forellis following Marco's demise. He then had found another representative, Miles O'Donovan, to go against Donald Love, who was representing the Leone Family. However, O'Donovan wins as the voters found out that Love was unfit for office because he was working with Toni Cipriani.
Later on, a war was sparked between the Forellis and the Sindaccos in Fort Staunton, which was caused by the Sicilian Mob, after the Sindaccos had begun invading Forelli territory on Staunton Island. Toni is caught up in it, as Salvatore Leone takes advantage of the war to foil Massimo Torini's plan to take over the city. The war leads to both families to be weakened as upcoming gangs like the Uptown Yardies and the Yakuza take over their territory left behind. The families eventually try to broker a truce to which Salvatore bugs Paulie Sindacco's car to kill the Forellis attending the peace meeting. As the war continues, the Forellis continue to lose territory on Shoreside Vale, after Toni Cipriani and the Southside Hoods take over the last expanding turf the Forellis have occupation in. The war continues until Paulie Sindacco was killed after trying to flee Liberty City, after his involvement in getting Salvatore jailed.
The Forellis later target the Yakuza, after Kazuki Kasen had taken over most of the territory in Liberty City and began stocking up on powerful weapons such as a tank. The Forellis catch Kazuki's wife Toshiko Kasen attending the Fort Staunton Opera House with Toni Cipriani, and attempt to kill her (not knowing that Toshiko is against her husband's plots). The Forellis are later completely weakened after their main base of operations, Fort Staunton, was destroyed by underground explosives in the old subway main line running through southern Staunton Island. Whether Franco was killed in the explosion is unknown but the family was left devastated.
By 2001, the events of GTA III, they are now named the Forelli Brothers, and the gang now appears to share a very small presence in the city, presumably due to the events of 1998.
A high-ranking member of the gang, Mike Forelli, is killed in a car explosion by Claude, who rigged his car with an engine bomb on orders from Joey Leone. Joey soon after orders Claude to dispose the corpse of a Forelli lying in a car at Greasy Joe's. After getting past security, Claude disposes the car off at Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard. Later, several members of the Forellis try to blackmail El Burro into giving them a cut of his pornographic material in threat of killing off an actor, but are also killed by Claude, who lured them into being blown up by a detonation bomb rigged Mr Whoopee truck.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, Forelli henchmen don blue/dark red shirts with light blue/white jackets over and carry pistols. In GTA III, they are dressed like the Leones as seen in one of Joey Leone's missions, while the dead mobster in the Manana looks like a Leone too, except that he has no gloves. In GTA Vice City, the Forelli's are seen wearing light blue or brown Hawaiian shirts. In GTA San Andreas, the mobsters (presumed to be the Forelli's) either dress in brown jackets, light green shirts with black pants or black jogging suits. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Forelli hitman seen in a couple of missions wear dark colored shirts with black jackets over.

GTA Vice City Stories
- Forelli is Italian for "Holes".
- Salvatore Leone incorrectly refers to them as the "Corellis" in The Introduction movie for GTA San Andreas.
- The Forelli Family are the only gang to have appeared in every 3D Universe game, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto Advance (although they may have appeared, as there is only a reference to the Mafia, not a particular family). This makes the Forelli Family the gang to appear in most games in the GTA series.
- The Forelli Family are also known to be the only gang to have its members killed by every protagonist in the 3D Universe protagonists with named members being killed by all protagonists, except Victor Vance as he only kills Forelli Henchmen. Claude kills Mike Forelli, Tommy Vercetti kills Sonny Forelli, Carl Johnson kills Marco Forelli, and Toni Cipriani possibly kills Franco Forelli.
- Sonny Forelli is the only family member who is not killed in Liberty City as he was killed by Tommy Vercetti in Vice City. Mike is killed by Claude and Franco is possibly killed by Toni Cipriani while Marco is killed by Carl Johnson who travelled to Liberty City from Las Venturas.
- The Forelli Family is probably the most hated gang in the 3D Universe from the point of view of the protagonists. Claude killed them on Joey and El Burro's orders, Tommy Vercetti betrayed the Forellis, Mike betrayed the Mafia too, Carl Johnson killed some Forellis on Salvatore Leone's orders, Toni Cipriani is a capo of the Leone Family and therefore a natural enemy, and Victor Vance killed some Forelli hitmen.
- When playing the final mission "Keep Your Friends Close..." in GTA Vice City, after killing Lance Vance, Tommy Vercetti can actually leave the mansion. Head over towards Prawn Island, and you will begin to see some Forelli mobsters other than the Sharks.
- The Forelli Family is the only gang to have territories in all three locations in the GTA III Era, but they end up losing it all (possibly in Las Venturas).
- As with the Leone Family & the Sindacco Family, the favorite radio station of the Forelli Family is Double Clef FM.
- Since they are known as the "Forelli Brothers" in GTA III it is possible that they were (at least at one time) based on the Rosato Brothers from The Godfather Part II.
- If the player crashes into a Leone member's car in GTA III, they may explain "It's the Forelli Brothers!", although this is most likely due to the fact that the model of the Forellis in GTA III is re-used from Leone members.

CBSE Grading System
Grading System
- All students have been awarded grades, not marks
- The practice of declaring Compartment/Fail has been discontinued
- The result of candidates is now declared in two cate¬gories: Eligible for qualifying certificate (QUAL) and Eligible for improvement of performance (EIOP)
- All candidates, even if they have failed in all subjects will now have five chances to improve their performance without having to repeat a year.
With Board exams being made optional from the academic year 2010-11, a new system of evaluation – Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) – based on grades has been approved. It comprises formative and summative assessment of the student to be done over two terms – first and second -during the year-long academic calendar.
Summative Assessment: Based on the term-end examination
- There will be two evaluations each in the first and second terms.
- The first term-end exam will carry 20 marks.
- The second term-end exam will carry 40 marks.
Formative Assessment: To evaluate and grade class work, homework, assignment and project work
- There will be one term-end exam for each term.
- Each evaluation will carry 10 marks apiece.
Students of class IX and X will be evaluated on a 9-point grading system. Each grade, given on the basis of both formative and summative assessments, will correspond to a range of marks as indicated below :
|81 -90
|71 -80
|51 -60
|41 -50
Points to Remeber :
(i) Assessment of theory/practical papers in external subjects shall be in numerical scores.In addition to numerical scores, the Board shall indicate grades in the marks sheets issued to the candidates in case of subjects of external examinations. In case of internal assessment subjects, only grades shall be shown.
(ii) Subjects of internal examination in Class X the assessment shall be made on a five point scale I.e. A,B,C,D & E.
(iii) The grades shall be derived from scores in case of subjects of external examination. In case of subjects of internal assessment, they shall be awarded by the schools.
(iv) The qualifying marks in each subject of external examination shall be 33% . However at Senior School Certificate Examination,in a subject involving practical work, a candidate must obtain 33% marks in the theory and 33% marks in the practical separately in addition to 33% marks in aggregate, in order to qualify in that subject.
Important :
(a) In case of a tie, all the students getting the same score, will get the same grade. If the number of students at a score point need to be divided into two segments, the smaller segment will go with the larger.
(b) Method of grading will be used in subjects where the number of candidates who have passed is more than 500.
(c) In respect of subjects where total number of candidates passing in a subject is less than 500, the grading would be adopted on the pattern of grading and distribution in other similar subjects.
What Students are saying ?
Actually i want to advice you that with this grades boards should give percentage also as we can compare ourselves.
since a child getting 99.5% and 95% will be in the same grade and hence will not able to know who performed better.
Implementation aspect should get the attention it deserves, if the system is to achieve its stated objectives. For teachers to make an objective assessment of the students, the work of the students will have to be closely guided and supervised. This will be possible only if the number of students a teacher is required to handle is kept limited. In the present class room environment, in most of the schools, where this number goes upwards of 40, this will remain a distant dream.
The structure of our classes should have been revamped first before the introduction of the new system. The system will take time to stabilise and the students who are forced to go through it during the transition phase may end up as losers.
The new system by itself has lot of merit in it. The utility will depend on the implementation. For a grading system to work effectively, the assessment method has to be fool proof and criteria well defined. There should not be any room for subjectivity here.
The fear expressed in many comments here about no more competition amongst the students and heart burns for the topper are all unfounded. Competition will still be there as one has to work hard and perform well to even score 90%. Heart burn of one is OK, if it can save the pain of peer pressure and parental pressure from a majority of students. This will ultimately lead to pressure free environment for students and encourage 'healthy competion' between them.
The system which is taken in pressure of about 10-20 students every year who commited sucide then why should 5000000 students.
the general students are 2 fold loss 1st seat reservations and then grading.
CAN A 96% is given equal importance as given to 91% one????
the sprit of competion will not be seen any where.
so all my dear friends lets come together and protest against it.
What exactly is the point of this new grading system?
We slog throughout the year and crack our brains over getting good marks in the board,but it does give one a certain amount of satisfaction to see the results at the end of the year.
What,they want to take this satisfaction away too?
At the same time,there is the fact that loads of students get above 90% in their board exams.
What if these students want to shift from their present school?
How will schools decide on which students to select?
Will we have to face another entrance exam AFTER our boards too?
Or will we have to give huge donations of money for admission?
This system is surely encouraging corruption…
This system is mainly put to stop suicide i guess im going to commit it!!!!!
problem is one-teacher take advantage and ask loads and loads of homwork in 1 day.dont get it and their words "now see….i will cut your marks and give you 0 im soo happy"
two-its a waste of resouces
three-teachers take their pets to their sides=give them good grades
four- dont get a copy or book and bang your gone
well these sre the main problems i face there are many more but that doesn't effect me so i want CBSE back with logic and not rote and no projects no child likes it i have done a serveythat out of 47 kids in a class only 10 are happy rest sad the sad 1s include toppers I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO BUT IT WOULD BE FUN ONLY IF TEACHERS UNDERSTOOD US !!!
I appreciate the implentation of grading system. We can avoid both the mental torture to the students by their own parents and the suicide of of our immatured children to a certain extent.
Even after the aboiltion of grading,the recurring of suicides by the students,it should be answerable and cannot be compensated by money in the name of" Interim reliefs" to the family of the victim.
- All students have been awarded grades, not marks
- The practice of declaring Compartment/Fail has been discontinued
- The result of candidates is now declared in two categories: Eligible for qualifying certificate and Eligible for improvement of performance (EIOP)
- All candidates, even if they have failed in all subjects will now have five chances to improve their performance without having to repeat a year.

Still LifePosted by admin, Mar 21 2009, 12:38 AM
Sometimes, like now, I have to wonder why I ever bother trying to make something of myself. I mean, I'm doing OK in my job. I actually appear to be getting some recognition for all my efforts, they're listening to what I have to say and I am in fact even influencing policy and procedure now.
But still I feel like it's not what I'm meant to be doing. And then I think I'm a prat for not seeing what I do as enough. And then I start on this downward spiral of self-pity and maudlin crap. And then I hate myself for being so fucking self-obsessed and stupid, and we go on a downward spiral.
The thing is, I still can't shake the initial feeling that there is something more, something... other. And it's out there and it's waiting for me.
I sometimes think that if I was painted now, and then again in ten years, I wouldn't change, I'd just be older. I'm still life.
Apples in a bowl, never changing, just decaying over time.

Fans of Scarlet Johansson waited for hours under a hot sun for the Hollywood actress to arrive in a water taxi for a news conference at the Venice Film Festival, and she rewarded them with a smile and autographs.
Johansson was in Venice on Tuesday for the premiere "Under the Skin" directed by Jonathan Glazer.
In the film, Johansson plays a sexy alien on a road-trip through Scotland, seducing and destroying men along her route. Over the course of her journey she begins to gain some sensitivity and human emotion.
Johansson said that to be an alien she had to abandon "these very human instincts that we have, protecting ourselves and wanting to protect one another."
"Under the Skin" is among 20 films competing for the coveted Golden Lion award.

Gluten Free Dining Adventures- Welcome to Davis, California
This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting a truly unique restaurant and bakery located in Davis, California called The Farmer's Kitchen Cafe. I had first heard about this restaurant on the CeliacBayArea Yahoo message board, where people had reported really enjoying a place where they could eat everything on the menu. One woman reported that she was practically in tears over the sheer selection. I know the feeling well. They change their menu daily, but generally have good gluten free sandwiches, salads, beautiful soups, ravioli, quiche, pizza, chicken pot pie, and the like. They also sell homemade baked goods in their dedicated kitchen, including bagels, hamburger buns, cookies, and homemade pasta. They are affiliated with the small health food store next door, Natural Food Works, which largely carries vitamins, beauty products, and an amazing selection of bulk herbs. They do carry a few ener-g bars and gluten free mixes such as Namaste and Bob's Red Mill. Natural Food Works has been in business since 1972, so it seems as though (happily) they are here for the long haul.
Although it was really difficult to pick from all the choices, I ended up going with a personal veggie pizza (veggies, pesto sauce, mozzarella and feta), the Portobello Mushroom Sandwich du Jour, and (we were planning to take this to go) a Torte de Blette with chard and apples. I always like to compare gluten free pizza crusts looking for the best one, and GF sandwiches I actually want to eat (being GF AND veggie) are few and far between. Also, I'd read on their web site forum that the pastry for the torte was quite good, so I couldn't resist. I did feel more than a minor twinge over the prices- and when you order the sandwich gluten free, you can't downsize to a "small," which is what I had originally planned to do. Nevertheless, I went with my plan. I was very, very tempted by the ravioli, but the price made me hesitate. And, I decided that I could make soup anytime, so best to test them with their bread based stuff and see how they compared to homemade.
It is worth noting that on their website they warn that because everything is made from scratch, it takes time. This is not the place for snappy, quick fast food (or commercial restaurant) service. But the two women working there were both sweet, and genuinely tried to make sure that their customers were happy with the food. They apologized for any slowness or mistakes with the order, and were very pleasant. Since we knew from the start that the food would take a little time, we settled into our chairs with some magazines, and took a few tours of the health food store while we were waiting.
First, the pizza came. DH was quite surprised to see cabbage, shredded carrots and broccoli on the pizza, but I was intrigued. After all, I like my veggies. The only slight disappointment was that they brought it with the marinara sauce instead of the pesto that I had ordered- but since it took so long, I didn't really want to delay the order by sending it back. Besides, DH prefers marinara to pesto anyway. The crust was white and somehow both slightly dense and spongy at the same time. It was also faintly sweet. I enjoyed the fresh vegetables with the red sauce, and felt like it was definitely healthier than the average pizza. I enjoyed it very much, although I still think I prefer Carol Fenster's recipe for pizza crust that I make at home. The fun of it though, is that I was eating pizza IN A RESTAURANT made IN A DEDICATED GF KITCHEN. Safe, delicious, and the whole point is that it is different than the pizza I make at home. DH enjoyed it as well.
Next, my portabella mushroom sandwich came, dripping with gorgeous green pesto. There wasn't a lot of feta in it- but it was very, very good, and there was absolutely no skimping on the mushrooms. Yummy! The bread was their gluten free sourdough loaf that they sell for around nine dollars for a huge loaf. It was good, and faintly sweet. Definitely better than store bought bread. If it had been cheaper, I might have picked up a loaf to take home.
And last, the Torte de Blette arrived. It was considerably larger than I expected, but then again, it was a main course dish and wasn't cheap. The crust was flaky and floury, without excessive butter. It was probably made from white flours like white rice and tapioca starch, although I can't confirm this. I had made a very similar dish for Thanksgiving, although I used cheese and pine nuts. Both versions were tasty but not entirely my thing, so I probably would have been better off ordering something else. But, if you like a light, refreshing tart made with greens and apples that you didn't have to slave over a counter to create- it's definitely worth a taste.
It's always hard to decide what to order when (for a change) we can eat every darned thing on the menu. I heard rave reviews of the chicken pot pie, and one woman sitting near us ordered it and seemed really happy with it. (It looked great!) Although I don't eat chicken, maybe DH will have that next time- it looked fantastic! The salads also looked great- and although I am somewhat dismayed by the high price of a tofu addition- I suppose that is the price of eating organic and local foods. I think next time, I would probably try one of the lovely soups with garlic rosemary toast, or the curry vegetables which I've heard very good things about.
Tour the Store
One more plus about stopping at the Farmer's Kitchen was that I could pick up a few things for the rest of the trip, notably a fresh baked, shiny bagel and a scrumptious looking bun with rosemary and onion seasoning. I saved the bagel for breakfast the next morning, but I think it was probably even better the day it was baked. The rosemary onion bun was perfect, even the next day, with great flavor and amazing soft, fluffy texture. I meant to have a taste, and ended up eating the whole thing in the car with butter, one yummy slice after another. (DH helped me out- a little…) Both were around $2.50 each, and were worth every penny. I'd order a batch of those buns, if I could!
Although Davis is a bit far, the Farmer's Kitchen made a terrific stop on our road trip to Lake Tahoe and Reno. They are closed on Sundays, so I'm glad we were able to stop over on Saturday. After we enjoyed the pizza, half of our sandwich, and a few bites of the torte (we saved the rest for later), we went for a walk around the cute downtown area, which is obviously geared towards college students. There was a terrific used/ new book store called Bogey's Books with quirky literature and a great cookbook section. We also stopped at a perfect local cafe called Mishka's Cafe and had a cozy cup of coffee. If you have time and happen to be heading towards Sacramento from the Bay area, I'd definitely make Davis a stop on the way. It ended up being one of our favorite stops on our trip, and not just because of the great GF food!

In Elles, a Paris journalist has an eye-opening experience when she interviews two university students who moonlight as prostitutes. So do the movie's viewers, presented with beaucoup de nudite. No genitalia are on display, but there are a few kinky moments that justify the NC-17 rating.
Anne (Juliette Binoche) writes for, yes, Elle. Her normal beat seems to be fashion, but now she's reporting on undergraduates who support themselves as hookers. She finds two: Charlotte (Anais Demoustier), a girl-next-door type from the suburbs, and Alicja (Joanna Kulig), a busty blond from Poland. Charlotte likes the extra cash; Alicja couldn't afford to live in France without it.
The interviews with the two young women are presented in fragments, inserted into a few days of home life that test Anne's domestic skills. Her younger son spends too much time playing video games; her older one is cutting classes and smoking pot. As the article's deadline looms, Anne's husband expects her to cook and host a gourmet dinner for his boss and his wife. And, he warns her more matter-of-factly than imperiously, Anne mustn't upset their guests with any "feminist" remarks. The implication is that Anne is less free than Charlotte (whose clients know her as Lola) and Alicja.
Following Binoche closely with a hand-held camera, director Malgoska Szumowska depicts Anne's upscale apartment as confining and even hazardous. The journalist is harried, exhausted and sexually frustrated, leading to a series of minor kitchen accidents that serve as metaphors for the injuries inflicted by bourgeois marriage.
Meanwhile, Anne develops a big-sisterly rapport with Charlotte, who reports that her clients are surprisingly chatty and "completely normal." Alicja, who insists that any interview be lubricated by vodka, soon has Anne giggling and ready to dance — and maybe more.
It might seem that Szumowska, a Polish director making her first feature outside her homeland, has arrived a little late with the news that women are subjugated by men. Elles was inspired by news reports about student-hookers, much as Godard's Two or Three Things I Know About Her was sparked 45 years ago by coverage of homemaker-hookers. Not long after that, movies like Diary of a Mad Housewife conveyed the frustrations of gilded-cage wives and mothers.
Yet Elles has contemporary pertinence. As the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair showed, feminism hasn't significantly mellowed France's macho culture. And sexual predation on young women from Eastern Europe remains a timely topic.
While the contrast between Anne and the call girls is a little glib, Szumowska doesn't present Charlotte and Alicja's trade as entirely benign. The two young women tell the reporter that they're content, but scenes of them with some clients reveal that they can feel threatened or degraded. (The hookers dismiss the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, however, on the grounds that their clients are "bored married men" whose only other partners are their wives.)
The sex scenes are attention-getting, but Elles is most remarkable as a naturalistic portrait of a woman. Binoche, in one of her rawest performances since 1991's The Lovers of the Pont Neuf, is seen masturbating, examining one of her breasts, even chewing with her mouth open. In more prosaic moments, Anne visits her father (played by Binoche's actual father) in the hospital and listens to the radio station that provides the movie's predominantly Euro-classical score. Such touches ensure that, for all the movie's contrivances, its central character feels genuine.

I too saw the Masterpiece Grimlock at my local TRU, and was pretty disappointed. There were plastic swirls on the dinosaur mode's chest around the Autobot symbol, which I thought made it look cheap. And at $70, it's not cheap. I suppose I'll save my money for the Seacons. That's too bad about the MP Grimlock, but that's Hasbro for ya.
I guess HA Mudflap has shown up at TJMaxx stores for $20 for any of you guys who haven't found him yet. About damn time.....
Wreck-Gar! and Perceptor's weird vehicle mode.A gallery of upcoming stuff. Most pleasing to the eye would be Jazz, Tracks, and Windcharger. I have no idea who the rest of them are, but there they be.
Sorry for the dumb question, but what exactly is the Masterpiece line? I know I've seen them discussed a lot, and I've seen them in stores over the years too, but I wasn't sure what they were exactly. I didn't think they were vintage re-releases, since this looked larger than what I remember Grimlock being as a kid, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyways, dumb question, just curious.

Print Power: Modern Flowers in Kids Rooms
Flowers are generally not thought of as modern or particularly cool. They're a throwback to a Victorian Era of inhibiting dicta and rules, right? Well, I love 'em, always have. It's not always easy to embrace the "girly" when writing for a forward-thinking design site. So when I drummed up the idea to do a roundup of floral rooms, I feared how it might get received. Evidently rightly so. "There are few things that I hate more than floral print and/or ruffles," wrote a commenter on yesterday's shower curtain roundup. Yikes.
And then I searched our archives. How wrong was my perception. These flowers have serious power, y'all. The use of this classic motif here is fresh and free. One room even belongs to a sole boy, who, yes, has forward-thinking parents. Flowers in children's rooms are modern again.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Coming off a 2-2 weekend to open the season, the King University men's volleyball team dropped its first of two matches this weekend to visiting Saint Francis (Pa.) University 3-0.
The Red Flash (2-1) were consistent throughout the match, serving seven aces and hitting .305 as a team. Coming into tonight's match, St. Francis led the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association in attack percentage, hitting at a .340 clip against competition that included Ball State and No. 14 IPFW.
The match featured just six ties and no lead changes, as the Red Flash cruised to victories of 25-16, 25-19, and 25-19 in the three-set victory. King (2-3) made one serious threat, using an 8-1 run midway through the second set to slash the Red Flash's lead from 16-8 to 17-16. The Tornado threat was spearheaded by two kills from Nick Serowski and a block and a kill from Mason Casner. But King could draw no closer, as St. Francis scored four straight points and went on to take the set 25-19.
King was overwhelmed by the Red Flash attack in the first set, as the visitors hit .440 on the attack and had two service aces of their seven total service aces, setting the tone for the match and sapping momentum from the Tornado.
King hit .084 as a team and did not record a service ace. The Tornado were led by eight kills from Serowski, also tops on the team with seven digs, and seven kills by Eddie Moushikhian. Jeff Bosslet had 23 assists.
The Tornado return to action on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. The Tornado will look to improve upon their 1-1 record in conference play against visiting Pfeiffer University, champions of the 2013 Conference Carolinas Tournament and second-ranked team in the conference preseason poll.

Grinnell College Announces Winners of 2012 Grinnell Prize
Primary tabs
Grinnell College Announces Winners of 2012 Grinnell Prize
NEWSROOM: Grinnell College
CONTENT: Press Release
GRINNELL, Iowa, Sept. 5, 2012 / 3BL Media / PRNewswire/ -- Grinnell College has announced the winners of the second annual Grinnell Prize honoring young innovators for social change: Cristi Hegranes, executive director and founder, Global Press Institute; Jacob A. Wood, president of Team Rubicon, and William B. McNulty III vice president of Team Rubicon (shared award); and Jane Chen, CEO of Embrace Innovations and co-founder, Embrace, and Linus Liang, Embrace co-founder and COO (shared award).
The Grinnell Prize, which received nominations from 45 countries, honors individuals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated leadership in their fields and who show creativity, commitment and extraordinary accomplishment in effecting positive social change. Each winning entry receives $100,000, half to the individual(s) and half to an organization the winner(s) designates, for a total of $300,000 awarded this year in prize monies.
The pool of nominees for the Grinnell Prize spanned a diverse array of social issues, including hunger relief, disaster relief, childhood education, economic development, the environment, literacy, community-produced news, youth arts, fair housing, violence prevention, immigration, GLBTQ, restorative justice, public access to healthcare delivery, children's mental health, urban agriculture, and global peace, among others.
"I'm delighted to announce these truly inspiring individuals as the winners of the 2012 Grinnell Prize. These young men and women embody Grinnell's long-standing mission to prepare students to go out into the world and use their education for the benefit of the common good," said Grinnell College President Raynard S. Kington, M.D., Ph.D. "Since we launched the Grinnell Prize two years ago, we have learned about a remarkable number of young people who are striving to make the world a better place. Our 2012 winners represent the ideals of the prize program in every way possible."
Details for the second annual Grinnell Prize winners are as follows:
- Cristi Hegranes, age 31, executive director and founder, Global Press Institute
After observing numerous problems within her profession while working as a foreign correspondent in Nepal, Hegranes founded the Global Press Institute (GPI) to confront two specific challenges she observed: "the decline of quality international journalism and the need for more women's economic empowerment." Through GPI, Hegranes uses journalism as a development tool to educate, employ and empower women to produce high-quality local news coverage that elevates global awareness and ignites social change.
Hegranes has built a network of professional women journalists throughout the developing world – all of whom earn a fair wage for reporting about their communities. Their unique coverage of issues, specifically those often overlooked by the mainstream media, contributes directly to community development and empowerment and also brings greater transparency and change to the way the world views their people and cultures.
- Jacob A. Wood, age 29, president and co-founder, Team Rubicon, and William B. McNulty III, age 35, vice president and co-founder
To help combat reintegration problems faced by many U.S. veterans, Wood and McNulty founded Team Rubicon to unite the skills and experiences of military veterans with medical professionals who deploy first-response teams to disaster areas. Since its founding in January 2010, Team Rubicon has successfully affected thousands of lives, including victims of global and national disasters and returning U.S. military veterans. While providing aid on the streets of Port-au-Prince in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake, Team Rubicon veterans realized that natural disasters present many of the same problems that confront troops in Iraq and Afghanistan: unstable populations, limited resources and horrific conditions. The skills cultivated by those on the battlefields – emergency medicine, risk assessment and mitigation, teamwork and leadership –are invaluable in disaster zones. By helping veterans transfer these critical skills, Team Rubicon has given hundreds of military men and women a renewed sense of purpose and has pioneered a new paradigm in disaster response that helps fringe victims outside the scope of where traditional aid organizations venture.
- Jane Chen, age 33, CEO of Embrace Innovations and co-founder, Embrace, and Linus Liang, age 31, Embrace co-founder and COO
In 2007, Chen and Liang created a $200 infant warmer in response to a challenge posed during a Stanford University course and following a trip to Nepal where they witnessed firsthand the high infant death rates in developing countries due to hypothermia. Reduced from the normal $20,000 cost of an incubator, the infant warmer can be used in remote regions of the world without a continuous supply of electricity. Realizing that their innovation solved a small part of a large problem – specifically poor maternal and child health outcomes in developing countries – Chen and Liang are also working on preventive measures including education in remote areas such as Jhagadia, India and Banadir, Somalia, where their infant warmers are provided.
Embrace is also investing in research and development to create additional, low-cost health innovations to improve both women's and children's well-being. Early this year, Chen and Liang created the for-profit venture Embrace Innovations, which will license the technology from Embrace and work on manufacturing, distribution and research for new products.
The winners will visit the Grinnell College campus the week of November 12 to participate in the Grinnell Prize Symposium and awards ceremony. Through public lectures and interactions with students and the campus community, the winners will share their experiences and perspectives of how they were able to create innovative programs to effect positive social change.
Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, will be the keynote speaker on Nov. 14. Before age 30, Greenfield and business partner Ben Cohen opened an ice cream shop in Burlington, Vt., that has since spawned a global brand. Though known for its ice cream, Ben & Jerry's also has a strong commitment to "a sustainable corporate concept of linked prosperity." Greenfield and Cohen are devoted not only to product and economic missions, but also to a progressive, nonpartisan social mission that "seeks to meet human needs and eliminate injustices" in their local, national and international communities by integrating the social concerns of their mission into day-to-day business activities.
Nominations for the 2013 Grinnell Prize are open through Nov. 5.
Grinnell College is a nationally recognized, private, four-year, liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. Founded in 1846, Grinnell enrolls 1,600 students from all 50 states and from as many international countries in more than 26 major fields, interdisciplinary concentrations and pre-professional programs.

Already brought to its knees by spiraling debt and huge unemployment, Spain can ill afford to lose the main contributor to its economy.
Yet that is the potential outcome of elections in the northeastern region of Catalonia on Sunday, where the separatist movement has gained ground as the economic crisis in Spain deepened.
With a population of some 7.5 million, Catalonia is Spain's second most populous region.
It generates about 19 percent of Spain's economic output and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita that is higher than the European Union average. The region has its own language and a strong cultural identity.
And as Spain slides ever deeper into recession, Catalonia wants out.
The latest polls show the separatist party, led by Artur Mas, is unlikely to win an absolute majority on Sunday, but analysts believe that a referendum on independence will nevertheless take place, most likely in the spring of 2013.
Mas argues that Catalonia would be better off on its own, even though the region recently sought emergency cash from the central government.
Like many Spanish regions, it overspent during the property boom. But Mas said the region gives more to the central government than it gets back.
"Mas had no qualms about bringing up Catalonia's economic strength even while asking for a bailout from the central government — 'Well, it's our money anyway,' " David Lea, analyst for Western Europe at Control Risks, told CNBC.com.
Even if Artur Mas' Convergence and Union party wins the 62 seats it has now — less than the 68 required to gain a majority — the outcome should not be interpreted as a defeat for separatism, Lea said.
"The two big national parties, the PP and PSOE, are struggling, particularly the latter, and look like getting fewer than 40 seats between them, compared with nearly 50 last time round, and even that was a historic low. The votes seem to be going to the nationalist left, particularly the ERC, which favors independence," he said.
He added: "Mas will have enough seats in a fragmented parliament to govern comfortably in a minority, and there will be enough outside support for him to take his independence agenda forward."
Chain Reaction?
A referendum might not be "D-Day," but it could set the wheels in motion for a move towards full-blown federalism in Spain.
The road to independence would likely be long and the process drawn out, but any perception of political instability and economic uncertainty would add to Spain's troubles.
"Catalonia currently throws a major shadow over central government and growing nationalist sentiment is sending a negative message abroad about the premier's inability to keep his country united when it needs it the most," analysts at IHS Global Insight said .
Ben May, European economist at Capital Economics warned that a dramatic increase in expectations of Catalonia leaving Spain could hurt the country even more.
"Catalonia is a net contributor to that central pot of money," he said, adding it would leave Spain in a weaker position.
A victory for the separatists could rattle investors' nerves and prompt a rise in the country's borrowing costs.
A significant majority for the separatist party will further complicate the ability of the Spanish government to reign in regional budget deficits, analysts at Barclays said on Friday.
And the fallout of the Catalan election could spread well beyond Spain too.
The prospect of regional independence for wealthy regions like Catalonia — but also the prosperous northern region of Flanders in Belgium and Scotland seeking independence from Britain — bodes ill for the future of the wider euro zone, May said.
"If rich parts of individual countries try to leave because they don't want to support their poorer relations, that doesn't bode well for richer countries providing fiscal transfers (to poorer euro zone countries)," he said. "That will be a key part of the euro zone's future."

Carrot Gnocchi with Basil Pesto
Hazan found carrot gnocchi in Friuli in northeastern Italy, and compares them favorably to pumpkin gnocchi in Venice. I adapted the recipe to omit an egg yolk, some cheese, and butter. The gnocchi binded well without the egg and cheese, and olive oil was an even match for the butter.
I first boiled the carrots until very soft, then sauteed them with onion in olive oil, until the onions were lightly browned and the carrots beginning to brown. Then they're pureed in a food processor, scraping the sides several times to make as smooth a puree as possible. Carrots aren't quite as amenable as squash or potato to pureeing, so it pays to put a little time into it.
The carrot-onion puree is seasoned with a little salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Make a gnocchi dough by adding tablespoons of all-purpose flour until you have a very soft dough. I got by with about six tablespoons.
Hazan's method for cooking these was new to me too. First the gnocchi are boiled like dumplings for just a little while (she calls for only a few seconds, but I left them in for a minute or so), and then plunged in ice water. You do this a few gnocchi at a time, which keeps the boiling water from dropping in temperature. After they're all boiled, they're tossed with olive oil and sage leaves, and baked for about 10 minutes in a 400 F oven.
Here they are out of the oven. I coated them with a pesto of fresh basil, lemon juice, walnuts, and sun-dried tomatoes. The contrast of sweet gnocchi with the lemony basil pesto was memorable, until I make my way to Friuli someday :)

Sharapova suffers Melbourne exit
Maria Sharapova's struggles caught up with her as she followed Serena Williams out of the Australian Open.
The third seed had spent two minutes short of seven hours on court in her first three matches, half of it in extreme heat in the second round against Karin Knapp.
All appeared well when she won the first set of her fourth-round match against Dominika Cibulkova but Sharapova needed treatment for a hip problem and faded to a 3-6 6-4 6-1 defeat.
The Russian missed the latter part of last season with a shoulder problem, and she said: "Those aches and pains are expected when you spend a long time on the court. You just have to play through it.
"This is only my second tournament back, so it was those types of things that are expected.
"I haven't been playing the best tennis of this tournament, but I found ways to get through the last two matches. I tried to do that again today, but she played extremely well.
"I have to look at the positives and see where I have come from in four or five months. I haven't played a lot of tennis in those six months.
"I certainly would have loved to play a little bit more before playing a grand slam, but this is the chance that I was given.
"I'm smart enough to be able to take it and acknowledge that I'm still pretty lucky to be in the draw and giving myself a chance to try to win it."
Cibulkova, who at 5ft 3in was giving away almost a foot in height, completed her set of grand slam quarter-finals.
The Slovakian, who hammered Sharapova at the French Open in 2009, said: "This is what I'm really, really happy for, finally I made it.
"I showed that I had a great pre-season in December so it feels amazing.
"I went on the court and I was more than 100 per cent sure that I really could beat her. I could beat her on the big court, in an important match, at a grand slam.
"I did it before, and I knew she knows me. I also knew that she knows it's going to be a tough match. I was prepared for it."
Cibulkova next meets Romania's Simona Halep, who reached her first grand slam quarter-final with a 6-4 2-6 6-0 win over eighth seed Jelena Jankovic.
Halep won six titles last season, more than anyone except Williams, and will break into the top 10 at the end of this tournament.
The exits of Sharapova and Williams - beaten by Ana Ivanovic on Sunday - left second seed Victoria Azarenka as the clear favourite to win her third straight Australian Open title.
Azarenka was taking on Sloane Stephens in a rematch of last year's controversial semi-final, when the Belarusian indicated she had taken a medical time-out late in the match for tactical reasons.
She later insisted there had been a misunderstanding but the damage was done and, asked about their off-court relationship prior to the match, Stephens simply replied: "Non-existent."
There was nothing too controversial this time, although Stephens did hit Azarenka with a shot - the champion responding by appearing to aim a volley at her opponent's head.
The main talking point, though, was how well Azarenka played in a clinical 6-3 6-2 victory.
The 24-year-old insisted her mindset would not change following the exits of her two biggest rivals, saying: "It doesn't matter.
"We still have high competition out there. The players who beat those players deserve all the credit because they've been better, so they are dangerous and they are competitive."
Azarenka also shrugged off being hit by Stephens, adding: "Maybe she had an open court, but she chose that shot. I have no problem with that."
The 20-year-old American, meanwhile, denied she had celebrated Williams' defeat on Sunday.
TV pictures appeared to show Stephens raising her arms aloft but she insisted she and British hitting partner Andrew Fitzpatrick were simply mimicking the excited reaction of Ivanovic's support team.
Stephens beat Williams in the quarter-finals in Melbourne last year and then did an interview in which she was critical of her countrywoman for subsequently snubbing her.
Both have insisted the issue is in the past, and Stephens said: "In reports and everything it became that I'm cheering against Serena, which had nothing to do with it. We were just having some fun."
In the quarter-finals, Azarenka will play fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska, who defeated Spain's Garbine Muguruza 6-1 6-3 in the night session on Rod Laver Arena.
Azarenka has won their last seven meetings, with Radwanska's most recent set against the second seed coming in Melbourne two years ago.

Service Projects
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Second Class Rank
For the Second Class Rank, a Scout must participate in a service project or projects approved by his Scoutmaster. The time of service must be a minimum of one hour. This project prepares a Scout for the more involved service projects he must perform for the Star, Life, and Eagle Scout Ranks.
Star and Life Ranks
For Star and Life ranks, a Scout must perform six hours of service to others. This may be done as an individual project or as a member of a patrol or troop project. Star and Life service projects may be approved for Scouts assisting on Eagle service projects. The Scoutmaster approves the project before it is started.
Eagle Scout Rank
For a service project to qualify as an Eagle Scout service project, the Scout, while a Life Scout, must plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project benefiting any religious institution, school, or community. These projects, of course, must conform to the wishes and regulations of those for whom the project is undertaken.
The Eagle Scout service project provides the opportunity for the Eagle Scout candidate to demonstrate the leadership skills he has learned in Scouting. He does the project outside the sphere of Scouting.
As a demonstration of leadership, the Scout must plan the work, organize the personnel needed, and direct the project to its completion.
Service to others is important. Work involving council property or other BSA activities is not acceptable for an Eagle Scout service project. The service project also may not be performed for a business, or be of a commercial nature, or be a fund-raiser.
NOTE: Fundraising is permitted only for securing materials or supplies needed to carry out the project.
Routine labor, a job or service normally rendered, should not be considered. There is no minimum number of hours that must be spent on carrying out the project. The amount of time spent must be sufficient for the Scout to clearly demonstrate leadership skills.
The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 18-927D, must be used to meet this requirement.
You must use this Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook (No. 18-927E or its online equivalent on the National Eagle Scout Association's Web site, http://www.NESA.org) in meeting this requirement.
NOTE: Fundraising is permitted only for securing materials or supplies needed to carry out the project.
The Scout must secure the prior approval of his unit leader, his unit committee, and the benefactor of the project. The project must also be reviewed and approved by the district or council advancement committee or their designee to make sure that it meets the stated standards for Eagle Scout service projects before the project is started. This preapproval of the project does not mean that the board of review will approve the way the project was carried out.
Upon completion of the project, the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, properly filled out, is submitted with the Scout's Eagle application to include the following information:
- What was the project?
- How did it benefit others?
- Who from the group benefiting from the project gave guidance?
- Who helped carry out the project?
- What materials were used and how were they acquired?
Although the project idea must be approved before work is begun, the board of review must determine the manner in which the project was carried out. Questions that must be addressed include:
- Did the candidate demonstrate leadership of others?
- Did he indeed direct the project rather than do all the work himself?
- Was the project of real value to the religious institution, school, or community group?
- Who from the group benefiting from the project may be contacted to verify the value of the project?
- Did the project follow the approved plan or were modifications needed to bring it to its completion?
All the work on the project must be done while the candidate is a Life Scout and before the candidate's 18th birthday, unless a time extension has been allowed (see the section titled "Time Extensions").
The Eagle Scout service project is an individual matter; therefore, two Eagle Scout candidates may not receive credit for working on the same project.
The variety of service projects performed throughout the nation by Scouts earning their Eagle Award is staggering. For ideas and opportunities regarding service projects, the Scout can consult people such as school administrators, religious leaders, local government department directors, or a United Way agency's personnel.
The district or council advancement committee also can be helpful by identifying possible projects.
From Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook No. 18-927E A look at some projects other Scouts have done for their Eagle Scout Award illustrates that your project can be to construct something or can be to render a service. Scouts have
- Made trays to fasten to wheelchairs for veterans with disabilities at a Veterans Administration hospital.
- Collected used books and distributed them to people in the community who wanted and needed,
but could not afford, books.
- Built a sturdy footbridge across a brook to make a safe shortcut for children between their homes and school.
- Collected and repaired used toys and gave them to a home for children with disabilities.
- Organized and operated a bicycle safety campaign. This involved a written safety test, equipment safety check, and a skills contest in a bike rodeo.
- Surveyed the remains of an old Spanish mission and prepared an accurate map relating it to the present church.
- Built a "tot lot" in a big city neighborhood and set up a schedule for Boy Scouts to help run it.
- Set up a community study center for children who needed a place to do schoolwork.
- Trained fellow students as audiovisual aides for their school. Arranged for more than 200 hours of audiovisual work.
- Prepared plans for a footbridge on a trail in a national forest. Worked with rangers to learn the skills necessary to build the structure, gathered materials and tools, and then directed a Scout work group to do the construction.

Hypersplenism is an overactive spleen. The spleen is an organ found in the upper left side of your belly area. The spleen helps filter old and damaged cells from your bloodstream. If your spleen is overactive, it removes the blood cells too early and too quickly.
The spleen plays a key role in helping your body fight infections. Problems with the spleen can make you more likely to develop infections.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Hypersplenism can be caused by:
- Lymphoma
Malaria Tuberculosis
- Various connective tissue and inflammatory diseases
Symptoms include:
Enlarged spleen
- Low level of one or more types of blood cells
- Feeling full too soon after eating
- Stomach pain on the left side

The world of whiskey is mostly absent of celebrity endorsement. There are a few examples, David Lee Roth with his ever present bottle of Jack Daniels and Laphroaig's constant touting of Prince Charles' love of their peaty malt, but for the most part, whiskey lovers aren't interested in celebrities. They don't grace whiskey packaging like a Wheaties box or appear in whiskey ads, and as far as I know, there's never been a Newman's Own Bourbon.
Old Whiskey River is the exception, a whiskey commissioned by Willie Nelson and named for his song Whiskey River. Nelson's bottling is a six year old Bourbon made by Heaven Hill. Early versions came with Nelson style bandannas, CDs and guitar picks, but from what I've seen lately, they are now just selling the Bourbon.
Old Whiskey River, 6 years old, 43% alcohol ($22)
This Bourbon has a nice, very distinctly Heaven Hill nose with some fruit, candy and a bit more age than I would have expected for a six year old. The flavor doesn't please me quite as much as the nose does. There is, initially, a very strong sweetness, followed with medicinal notes and a bit of oak. It has a very pleasant finish. The whiskey has some bright notes but falls a bit flat overall.
Of course, I may not be the target audience for this celebrity, themed whiskey. Perhaps it's intended for all those girls Willie's loved before.

Number: 113-1
Date: May 7, 2013
House Passes H.R. 882
The Contracting and Tax Accountability Act of 2013
On April 15, 2013, the House passed H.R. 882, the Contracting and Tax Accountability Act of 2013 under suspension of the rules by a vote of 407-0. The bill would prohibit individuals and companies with outstanding tax debt from receiving government contracts. The bill now moves to the Senate for further action.
Following are provisions of interest to SSA:
- Would require bidders for contracts over $150,000 (the current simplified acquisition threshold) to submit a form certifying that they do not have a seriously delinquent tax debt, and authorizing the Department of Treasury to disclose to the bidding agency information verifying such certification. Seriously delinquent taxpayers would be those to whom a lien has been filed in public records and are not paying the debt in a timely manner or have not initiated a due process hearing.
- Would require agencies to suspend or debar such bidders with a seriously delinquent tax debt, unless the agency head executes a written waiver due to compelling circumstances. Would require in such case, that the agency head submit a report to Congress justifying the waiver within 30 days of issuing the waiver.
- Would apply the same requirements in this bill for Federal grant applicants, with the exception that seriously tax delinquent applicants would be placed in a "high risk" category (rather than be banned), which would trigger enhanced reporting and oversight if they are awarded a grant.
- Would apply to contracts and grants awarded on or after 270 days after date of enactment.

Dental Implants Placement
After the pilot is drilled into the jaw site, it is then slowly and carefully widened to create space for the screw's placement. A protective cover screw is then placed over the site to allow for the osseointegration and healing process to take part. Several months after this anchorage has healed, the protective cover is discarded and a temporary crown is put on top of the implant as a template to allow the gum to grow and naturally reshape itself. Finally, the temporary crown is then replaced with a permanent crown and the procedure is complete.

Do you mean in reference to a tax levied on imports? I believe it's to pay a duty, altho use of that word is a tiny bit archaic. The reason it's pay a duty and not pay duty is because it's not an abstract or indefinite concept. It's a finite and limited amount.Originally Posted by Eway

You don't get many songs advocating infidelity, do you?
Loads and LOADS of songs complaining about it. There was some shitty pop song on the radio this morning with someone whining about their lover hoping on the good foot and doing the bad thing with someone else and it got me thinking- what are some pro-infidelity songs? There must be some.
I can't think of any but I listen exclusively to American Football and the Drive soundtrack.
slightly tangential but you've reminded me of how much I love Jilted John by Jilted John
Shaggy's a bit of an infidelity denier in that though.
Almost like he's ashamed of infidelity.
I want to know if there are any songs with lyrics that what their balls out and say 'yeah, I cheated. And what?'.
cliff richard and the shadows - a girl in every port & more
lou bega - I got a girl
tony ferrino - stuttering sadie from Stuttgart
+ The Wanderer - Status Quo
& I get around - The Beach Boys
but these are not really about infidelity, more just promiscuity
Wherever I Lay My Hat is similar but is actually addressed to a girlfriend in a kind of 'I told you I was gonna shag around' kind of thing
I've thought about it and my response to It Wasn't Me and have decided
I'll allow anything that isn't explicitly or tacitly anti-infidelity, while still being rooted somewhere in monogamous romance. Seems only fair.
- emmettcruddas and Anthonyc this'd this
- joeymahone this'd this
the pina coloda song
although he ends up cheating with the lady he loves...TheWza this'd this
Franz Ferdinand - Cheating on You
Gene Pitney - 24 Hours from Tulsaandyvine this'd this
24 hours from tulsa is such an arsehole of a song
Musically it's great but the lyrics are just so harsh.
Sorry babe, I'm leaving you for a girl I just met, literally JUST MET cos she's a hottie. I'M A SHIT.
- FrancescoNoir this'd this
- JaguarPirate this'd this
Pulp - Babies
Pulp - Pencil Skirt
Pulp - Sisters
Pulp - Acrylic Afternoons
Jarvis, you're a very naughty boy.
Pink Glove, 59 Lyndhurst Grove, probably loads more
I've always assumed the majority of them are about the same affair.
- pheripheral, cheeseandbaconturnov, and Yvash this'd this
Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac
All of Rumours pretty much
- Matt_was_taken this'd this
there's this one
and it's a classicThirstyDog this'd this
While you're riding your bike
your girl is checking my mic
While you on lockdown
Ya girlie's takin' my cock down
This album is an absolute all-time classic, it's criminal that so few people have actually heard it.
I'm struggling to think of any.
The Ballad of Robert Moore and Betty Coltrane is about bigamy though.
Maine Island Lovers by Okkervil River,
which is an absolutely incredible song and everyone should listen to it right now-
- Cementimental this'd this
Not sure they're advocating it, but these aren't entirely complaining about it either:
PJ Harvey - Oh My Lover
Josh T. Pearson - Honeymoon Is Great, I Wish You Were Her
Breakfats in Bed
by Dusty Springfield.
If my interpretation of "Gotta Go" by Backstreet Boys is correct...
"Listen baby I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late don't stay up and wait for me
I say again your dropping out
My battery is low
just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go."
Also number one:
You can't say I don't love you
Just because I cheat on you
Tom Waits
Martha. Kinda. He's definitely thinking about it.
I never thought that!
I always felt like that was a song about a man who'd loved a woman, but moved on, and while he was in love with the notion of being with Martha, he was more in love with his present family.
It's the....
... "I love you can't you see" at the end. Smoking gun, imo.
Heart - All I Wanna Do
Woman bangs stranger, stranger bumps into woman a year later with the child looking just like him, awkwardness/hilarity ensues.
Thin Lizzy's Dancing In The Moonlight is from the bloke's perspective, "I had to say I stay with friends" but then opines "it's a habit worth forming, it's a means to justify the end".
Me and Mrs Jones
by Billy Paul is a belter.
And as for anything by Big Black - I can't take it as advocating any form of infidelity if you compare it to the lyrical content of Canaveral by Shellac. Poor Albini :(
I was under the impression that Canaveral was about JFK
but could be wrong
Wedding Present
Most of the Seamonsters album, especially Lovenest & Dalliance.
Nah, he's just not exclusive.
I think.
Elvis Costello - I Want You
or maybe he was the one been cheated? Nevermind , great song
- jopzorz this'd this
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird does this basically doesn't it?
Also Momus' Hairstyle of the Devil. And possibly Momus' entire back catalogue.
Love 'em and Leave 'em- KISS
Not sure if it's infidelity they had in mind though :)
The Soul Children - I'll Be the Other Woman
Amazingly confused - "It's ok, I'm happy for you to cheat on your wife, as long as it's only with me..."
watch this version instead
A couple from the perspective of the person being cheated on:
I've never really paid much attention to the verse lyrics, but I assume 'Cheat On Me' by The Cribs does.
And 'Come Pick Me Up' by Ryan Adams has the line "I wish you would... screw all my friends'.
Come Pick Me Up
I always saw as being a "despite you doing this I still want you back" thing.
Dolly Parton - Jolene
More about pleading another woman to stop cheating with her husband
Cody Chestnutt - The Seed
I only want to fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow standin' where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keepin' my secrets mine
Fertilize another against my lover's will
I lick the opposition 'cause she don't take no pill
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-no dear
You'll be keeping my legend alive
Robyn - Call Your Girlfriend
(although, technically, she asks the guy to break up with his current squeeze beforehand)
Paul Simon - Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover
I suppose that's more a case of advocating divorce over continuing the infidelity, but his mistress is pretty unequivocal about carrying on with the infidelity rather than worry about working things out with his wife.
(that sentence contradicts itself, but you get the point: his future lies with his bit on the side rather than his wife)

The fable of "Jack and the Beanstalk" gets a big revision from director Bryan Singer in this hugely visual fantasy, which succeeds on its sights even when the dramatics fall short.
Nicholas Hoult ("Warm Bodies") plays courageous Jack, who ascends into a world of literal giants - led by Bill Nighy, as one of the two-headed variety - to rescue a captured princess (Eleanor Tomlinson). Stanley Tucci and Ewan McGregor also star as the hero's principal allies. DVD extras: deleted scenes; outtakes. *** (PG-13: P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
