32. Indianapolis Colts (1-13) - Previously: #32 - Famous GameCenter user Taton is still banned. I would have loved to read what Taton would have written during Indianapolis' first victory of the season. Here are the posts Taton would have made on GameCenter if he were still a member:
When the Colts established a 3-0 lead:
- Adam Vinatei kick feld goal!!!!! Colt have led for first time in seaon!!!!!!!
When the Titans tied it up:
- tian kick field gol!!!!! colt must score moee point!!!!!!! Coach Casewell is fat pig!!!!!!!!!!
When the Colts took the lead again:
- orkovsky touchdwon!!!!!! he better than p.manning!!!!!!! coach cadwell still need to be fire or no hope for playoff next yar!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the Titans scored late to draw within seven:
- uh oh here we go again caoch cadwell going to blow game!!!!!!!!!!!! coach casewell going to have gay sex in lockar room with jim isray if colt looose game!!!!!!!!!!
When the Colts finally prevailed:
- colt win finally!!!!!!! now no more win needed!!!! gay cach cawell need suck for lack!!!!!!!!
31. St. Louis Rams (2-12) - Previously: #31 - Thank you, Kellen Clemens, for costing me $300. May you be kidnapped, taken to a seedy hotel room and penetrated anally via kielbasa by Matt Millen.
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-10) - Previously: #30 - Charlie Campbell (@draftcampbell) was at the Buccaneers-Cowboys game Saturday night. Since I wrote up the game recap, I thought I'd have him discuss the future of this Tampa squad:
Tampa Bay is at a crossroads. After Dallas cruised to a 31-15 win Saturday night, the Buccaneers are poised to finish 4-12 on the season. The Bucs aren't going to go on the road and beat the Panthers on Christmas Eve or win against the Falcons a week later. Right now, it would be a surprise if head coach Raheem Morris was given another season. Although many believe ownership doesn't want to fire Morris, the collapse with eight straight losses and counting will probably force a coaching change.
Tampa Bay will have to pay Morris $2 million in 2012. There is a strong sentiment around the team that general manager Mark Dominik is trying to save his own job by separating himself from Morris in order to make the Morris the fall guy for the disaster of a season. Most around the team believe that Dominik is likely to survive. The possibility exists that the Bucs owners, the Glazers, could clean house and look to hire a new general manager and head coach. However, Dominik received a multi-year extension earlier this season.
While Morris may be the fall guy, the entire organization deserves their share of the blame. Dominik and the Bucs' front office said no to free agent veterans whom the coaching staff wanted the team to sign. Players like running back Darren Sproles, running back Cadillac Williams, tight end John Gilmore and linebacker Barrett Ruud are some of those veterans. A lot of the draft picks made from 2009 haven't panned out, and the young players that played well in 2010 have struggled across the board in 2011. Sources have said that the front office overestimated the talent of their draft picks. From top down, there is plenty of blame to go around in Tampa Bay.
The rumors around the team are that Dominik would want the team to hire another young, lesser-known coach so he could maintain a high level of influence on the personnel moves. A big-name coach like Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher would be the shot-caller from a football standpoint, and could have their own general manager they would want to run the team.
A decade ago, the Glazers wanted the elite of the NFL on the field and running the team. They chased Bill Parcells to replace Tony Dungy, and made the massive trade to land Jon Gruden. After the Super Bowl team went to pasture, the Glazers signed up for a young staff, a young roster and low payroll. With attendance and fan interest at a serious low, the Glazers are at a critical breaking point. They are going to have to decide whether to turn back the clock and make some bold moves to acquire some big-name difference-makers like Fisher or Cowher, or opt for a young coordinator in hopes of landing the next Dungy or Gruden. It will be an interesting January in Tampa.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-10) - Previously: #29 - I received a hilarious text from Matvei, who runs the Sharps Picks section, during the Atlanta-Jacksonville game:
Jacksonville looked so bad that I wanted to call the ASPCA. I can't believe what a p***y Gabbert is: he looks as petrified as he did two months ago against the Bengals.
28. Minnesota Vikings (2-12) - Previously: #27 - Thanks for playing, Vikings. You gave a good effort and stayed in the game for a while, but the Saints were just too much. You won't go home empty-handed though. Mike, tell them what they've won!
"You've won a brand-new left tackle! Matt Kalil, fresh from USC, is this year's model of a prototypical left tackle. Christian Ponder can enjoy his Sunday afternoons not getting destroyed by right ends coming in from the blind side. And best of all, Kalil will not cost you much - thanks to the new CBA, you'll get him at a very reasonable contract!"
27. Buffalo Bills (5-9) - Previously: #24 - Facebook friend Danny S. sent over this incredibly detailed Buffalo-Miami prediction from one of the ESPN message boards. Try to see if you can find the hilarious error.
Miami: 3 7 3 10 3
Bills: 13 0 0 7 0
First Quarter: C.J Spiller 2 yard touchdown run (Dave Rayner kick is blocked), Bills 6-0, Dan Carpenter 31 yard field goal is good, Bills 6-3, Nick Barnett 9 yard interception return for a touchdown (Dave Rayner Kick is good), Bills 13-3
Second Quarter: Reggie Bush 16 yard touchdown catch from Matt Moore, (Dan Carpenter kick is good), Bills 13-10 half
Third Quarter : Dan Carpenter 34 yard field goal is good, 13-13
Fourth Quarter: Brandon Marshall 27 yard touchdown catch from Matt Moore, Dolphins 20-13, C.J Spiller 3 yard touchdown run (Dave Rayner Kick is good), 20-20
Overtime: Dan Carpenter 44 yard field goal is good, Dolphins 23-20 Final/OT
Fitzpatrick: 112 passing yards, 2Int, Lost Fumble, 21 rush yards
Spiller: 98 rush yards, 2TD
Spiller: 24 receiving yards
Moore: 234 passing yards, 2TD, 1Int
Bush: 79 rush yards, 16 receiving yards, TD
Marshall: 108 receiving yards, TD
M.Moore picked off by Nick Barnett for a touchdown
R.Fitzpatrick fumbled on a QB sneak up the middle pick up by S.Smith
R.Fitzpatrick picked off by Koa Misa -1 yard return
R. Fitzpatrick picked off by Cameron Wake 2 yard return
D.Shayner's kick Blocked by Will Allen 36 yard return
If you haven't found it, well, the Dolphins would be the first team in NFL history to go into overtime with a lead.
26. Cleveland Browns (5-9) - Previously: #28 - Last week, I showed you that Jon S. epitomized the state of the Browns best in this brief e-mail he sent to me following the Thursday night loss to Pittsburgh:
Thank God for McCoy and his interception. This could have been ugly. Five wins... that would be terrible. With only four wins we can get a real QB.
Jon S. sent over three more hilarious e-mails Sunday:
Oh my God, Washington and Miami both win! Come on browns... lose big to Arizona! And after Cleveland's defeat:
Cleveland PROVES Colt McCoy is not the answer and we still lose. Merry Xmas, Cleveland Browns!!!!
And during Baltimore's loss at San Diego:
Now the Ravens are losing. If this happens and Steelers win tomorrow night, both Baltimore (Browns get them next week) and Steelers for final game will both need to beat Browns. So the Steelers won't take the last game off at Cleveland. Oh boy, I am already getting ready to order a QB jersey!!!!
25. Chicago Bears (7-7) - Previously: #21 - Cannon Ball Caleb Hanie was great against the Packers in the NFC Championship. Now, he's the worst quarterback of all time. What happened?
The Adventures of Derek Anderson's Magic Flask!
Caleb Hanie: Oh boy, oh boy, I'm going to make so much money next offseason!
Derek Anderson: Heyyyyzzz iffff yewww wannnaerr maaakkke morrrrr monnnneyyy havvve a sssipp offff thissssss hic!
Caleb Hanie: Oh boy, oh boy, I would love to make even more money!
*** Ten minutes later... ***
Caleb Hanie: I'mmm gunnnn buuuyy soooo muuuccchh onnnn Amzzzzonn.commm noowwww cuzzzz I'mmm gunnn havvvv sooo miuuuchh monnney hic!!!
Poor Cal. Now he's in debt up to his ears.
24. Kansas City Chiefs (6-8) - Previously: #26 - It's time for my weekly bashing of NFL.com's bogus edge meter:
A slight edge? What a joke. The Chiefs are clearly better than the Packers. They should have the slight edge!
If NFL.com is smart enough to figure this one out, perhaps the following graphic is also true:
If the Chiefs can upset the Packers, perhaps Emmitt Smith can defeat William Shakespeare in a grammar competition.
23. Washington Redskins (5-9) - Previously: #25 - The Redskins are winning themselves out of the Robert Griffin and Matt Barkley sweepstakes. What the hell are they doing?
Here are more Notes from NFL.com GameCenter:
1. "Go eagles eagles fans try not get to tipsie"
Perhaps you should have taken your own advice prior to logging on to GameCenter.
2. "the fact jack. u steeler fanz r da only dilusional ones out there. like i said i dislike the seehawks"
Ah, the Seehawks - the birds that hail from the optometrist's office.
3. "hey stellerz316 whats up wit ur name and ur picture friend? r u supposed to be a monk profit or something with the verse 316 and the hood?"
A monk who makes money? Isn't that against their beliefs?

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says undergoing stomach banding surgery more than a year ago was a "life-changing decision."
Appearing on his monthly TownSquare Media radio show Wednesday night, Christie says he works out four days a week and has achieved better health.
The 51-year-old governor hasn't said how many pounds he's shed, but he has become noticeably thinner since secretly undergoing the surgery last February.
He says he enjoys riding a stationary bike but does not like doing side-lift exercises with dumbbells.
The possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate has said he's struggled with being overweight his entire adult life.

BALTIMORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The following was issued by director and producer David Kyle:
Bloodmoney is a Documentary (now available on DVD) that exposes the greed-driven politics of the abortion industry. Despite claims that the pro-abortion movement exists to help women, in reality it is little more than a vast money-making enterprise.
Narrated by Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, this film exposes the truth behind an industry that has harmed untold numbers of people and taken the lives of 50 million innocent children. In the film Dr. King speaks not only from the perspective of a post abortive woman, but as a civil rights leader about the injustice of abortion.
"Bloodmoney brings startling revelation to the forefront of the pro-life battle and exposes the true agenda behind the abortion industry. This film is truly part of the plan to set the captives free," – Dr. Alveda King, director of African American Outreach, Priests for Life.
The film also features interviews from Carol Everett a former abortion clinic owner, as well as from pro-life leaders such as Frank Pavone, Joe Scheidler and others. This documentary film examines abortion in America, from the inception of Planned Parenthood to Roe v. Wade and the denial of when life begins. The makers also look at the profitability of the abortion clinics that keep this barbaric practice going. Finally, it shows the devastating effects abortion can have on the women that have them, and the continuing fight to save the lives of innocent babies.
The DVD is available online at Bloodmoneyfilm.com and the producers of the film are also licensing public screenings so that the truth behind the abortion industry can be exposed for what it is.

text: The angler was heading home from work. The road was full of pot holes and he drove slowly and carefully, though eagerly as well. At the bottom of the hill was a bridge spanning a familiar creek. His wife and child weren't going to be home for a while so he had plans for this creek. He slowed down even more when the bridge came into view; with a smile on his face he stopped the truck on the bridge. It was a one lane bridge and there wasn't much traffic here. With a glance in the rear view mirror he knew he was alone as the truck came to a stop. He stepped out of the truck and leaned over the rail.

'tax holiday'
As citizens and residents of a democracy, we need to pay attention to what's happening in Washington, D.C. The most pressing issue is the well-being of children and families. That's why we need to tell Congress: No tax holiday for corporate tax-dodgers.
"Here's how it works: The tax laws say that companies can avoid paying taxes as long as they keep their profits overseas. Whenever that money comes back to the U.S., the companies have to pay taxes on it," writes news journalist Matt Taibbi.
"Only there's a catch: In 2004, the corporate lobby and major employers like Cisco and Apple and GE begged Congress to give them a 'one-time' tax holiday, arguing that they would use the savings to create jobs . . . a tax holiday was declared.
"Companies paid about 5 percent in taxes, instead of 35-40 percent. And, as you might guess, those jobs were never created, and CEO salaries and bonuses went sky-high."
No tax holiday for corporate tax cheats.

Mind your own business
Besides breastfeeding like a lady, whatever happened to "Mind your own business," or "What makes you think your opinion matters when it comes to my child's nutritional needs?" or one of my favorites, "Why don't you get a life?"
Seriously, do you really believe you need to opine on the manner in which a mother feeds her child, in public or otherwise? Reminds me of a "Married with Children" episode where Marcy recruits mothers for a breastfeeding sit-in at Al's shoe store. I guess a real lady should also know when to keep an opinion to herself.

Very bad idea
With coal-fired power plants shutting down across the country including two nearby in the Northwest, giant coal corporations like Peabody are scrambling for ways to get rid of the stuff. They think they have a solution; one that is usually only seen in Third World nations.
Rather than leave it in the ground and save it perhaps, for a day when America might need it - which they should considering that much of the stuff comes from public lands - they want to sell it to China. This means transporting it through the Gorge to a port on the Pacific.
What this translates to for the Gorge community is about 20 trains a day, each one made up with uncovered coal cars stretching over a mile and a half long.
To make matters worse, they will be carrying very poor-quality coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, which is extremely "friable" - read: crumbly and dusty.
Imagine what the mighty and regular Gorge winds will do as the trains come through nearly on the hour. Coal dust will be everywhere; not to mention a huge increase in diesel fumes, noise, blocked traffic and general ugliness.
Aside from the impact that coal trains would have on human health and quality of life here, China would, thanks to USA public lands and the corporations who have their claims on them, be burning the dirtiest of fossil fuels with the highest contribution to climate change.
It's an insane idea; one that could only be born in the brains of corporate scum who care nothing about human health impacts, future generations or the quality of life on Earth. Their only concern is squeezing out the highest short-term profit they can; everything else be damned.
This idea is not befitting of this country and the Gorge should play no part in allowing it to happen. Aside from a few railroad engineers and some dock workers, no jobs are being created here and even if they were, it would be a trade-off in extremely bad taste.
Please folks, if you love the Gorge, be on the lookout for how you can get involved in defending your community from Big Coal. In the meantime, please write or call your respective governors and tell them you won't stand for this very bad idea!

Do your part
This is a note regarding the bottle return areas at many stores throughout Hood River:
When we go to those locations it should be done in the proper manner.
First rinse out all the containers and take their tops off. All the stores are not responsible for your/our trash disposal; take it back to your own trash container.
Don't curse and hit the machine and complain if the bottle or can will not read properly - how about all the dirt on the outside; that is the problem.
If you think it smells in the room maybe it's because you're bringing in all your rancid bottles and cans that have sat for who knows how long. Appreciate the fact that we have a place to bring them to.

A "Mancos Cash Mob" is meant to be a fun way to encourage people to go into a small, local business and spend their money, en masse, giving that business owner a rush of economic stimulus.
The "Mancos Cash Mob" may be a new idea to the community but it has been around for a while. It was originated by Chris Smith of Buffalo, N.Y. in August 2011, when he encouraged a group of over 100 people to show up at a local wine shop and spend money. The idea was picked up in November by Andrew Samtoy of Cleveland, Ohio, who claims to have come up with name "cash mob." Since then cash mob events have sprouted up across the United States and Canada.
The Mancos Cash Mob is sponsored by the Mancos Valley Chamber of Commerce.
One of the coordinators, Jamie Bade said, "We hope everybody can come together and mob Chavolo's on Thursday, March 25 at 5:30 p.m., share some laughs and spend a little cash."
During a Mancos Cash Mob event, a business is swamped with lots of crazy activity, all in one time frame.
One year ago, the Chamber of Commerce began a project called "Mancos Valley First" in an effort to encourage people to shop locally when they can. Many in the community have probably seen the red-and-white stickers on shop windows and vehicles around town. There are still stickers available at the Visitor Center for those who would like to pick up one for a $1 donation.
The next step for this project was to inform people about the businesses that exist in the Valley so that they know where to shop or whom to call for services and resources. The Chamber of Commerce website was upgraded last year to accommodate a business directory that is now available at www.mancosvalley.com.
After all the hard work identifying businesses, entering information into a database, transposing to a website, creating stickers and distributing them, now comes the fun, a "Mancos Cash Mob." This is a time to show our support for a local business by sharing a little of our cash with them. It will be the time to experience the great hospitality of one of our local, small town businesses.
Other businesses that have had the Mancos Cash Mob visit them are Artisans of Mancos, Raven House, Gallery, Zuma Natural Foods, Fahrenheit Coffee Roasters, and Kaleidoscope Wellness. Future "Mancos Cash Mob" events are planned for once a month and will be announced in the newspaper, posted on the Mancos Valley Facebook page and on the website under Mancos Valley calendar of events.
Valley businesses that would like to host a "Mancos Cash Mob" can contact the Chamber of Commerce at 533-7434 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Daring Bakers Strudel (FAIL)
This month we made strudel. If you aren't familiar with strudel, how you make it is by making a dough, then stretching that dough until it's so thin you can read a newspaper through it, or so I'm told. Then you brush the dough with melted butter, roll it up around a delicious filling, and bake it. The dough puffs up, like puff pastry, and it's wonderful. The trick to strudel dough is developing the gluten in your dough to get it to stretch so thin you can see through it. Now, I don't know if you know this, but I can't eat gluten. If you didn't know that, welcome to my blog. I tried to make a strudel dough, but it ended up really just being a pie crust. Other gluten free Daring Bakers experienced this, and I haven't yet looked at my Reader and read other posts.
If I was making a strudel, I failed. If I was making an interesting rolled up pie, I might have succeeded, if only I had cooked my filling ahead of time. The recipe I used had me bake the strudel for 20 minutes at 400. After 20 minutes, it was totally not done. I cooked it another 20, and then the crust was done, but not the filling. If I had cooked it any longer, I would have burned the crust. I gave up. I am planning a wedding and entertaining my Hungarian mother-in-law (I can call her that, even though I won't be married for another week and a half, right?), I don't have the time to try and try and try to make this work. I hope you guys had more success than I did.
If you're interested, the filling I made was a chocolate pear filling, that might have been delicious if it had cooked through (recipe I kind of followed is here) Also, I forgot to add eggs, and added some rum, which also didn't cook out at all. Yuck. Bummer. At least I like how my pictures turned out. I also had planned to make some sort of spinach-feta version, but gave up after one attempt. Sorry guys.
The May Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.

It doesn't LOOK like a failure, if that helps. Sorry this didn't translate to gluten-free too well. The pear/chocolate combo sounds good.ReplyDelete
Even though the dough cracked, it still looks delicious..love the pear and chocolate combo! Nicely done, regardless and great photo!ReplyDelete
I agree with Isolated Foodie, it looks good.ReplyDelete
But in the end, who cares, you got more important things to think about, congratulations for your wedding!
I'll be back to see pictures of your wedding cake!
I'm so impressed that you made this right before your wedding. If it had been me...I'd have been off with a hundred and one details that still had to be taken care of.... Great job on your strudel and I hope your wedding day is simply beautiful.ReplyDelete

Topeak Presta Valve Extender
Item: 50-8384
Deep-section rims are great for aerodynamics, but they're not compatible with the short valves found on standard tubes and tubular tires. The Topeak valve extender adds length to short valves, so you'll never find yourself stuck by the roadside with a flat and a replacement tube you can't inflate. The 43mm long Topeak Presta valve extender is precision-machined from aircraft aluminum and screws onto the tube's original valve, providing enough additional length to clear your aero rim and engage your pump's chuck. A rod inside the valve extender screws onto the original valve's lock nut, allowing you to close the valve to prevent accidental air leakage. Throw a Topeak valve extender in your saddle wedge or jersey pocket and you and your riding buds will be good to go no matter what.
- Precision-machined aircraft aluminum is strong and lightweight
- Adds length so you access the valve for inflation when running deep-section wheels
- Rod inside valve extender engages valve's lock nut so you can close valve to prevent leakage
- Doesn't require removal of valve core
- Fits rims up to 60mm deep
- Weighs just 3.4g

Niagara-Wheatfield School District voters will be presented with a balanced budget that features a $2.3 million increase and a 5.91 percent tax levy increase, but they will have full-day kindergarten, if the budget passes. The proposed budget is set at $62,753,100 for 2013-14.
That was the final outcome at the April 24 Board of Education meeting with more than 200 people in attendance, the majority there to voice their opinion on the kindergarten situation. Eliminating kindergarten had been proposed as a means of keeping costs down.
Board President Steven Sabo called the meeting back in session after an hour-long executive session and made a statement that kindergarten would be maintained if the budget passed on the first try.
However, he went on to explain that if the budget fails and either goes to a second vote or contingency, kindergarten would either have to be half-day or eliminated and all other non-mandated items would be looked at for possible cuts.
"Everything would be on the table at that point," said Sabo. "Looking at last year's attempt to override the tax levy limit the board decided not to attempt it this year. Instead, the board decided to do a rollover on the budget and do the same programs as this year."
"They also decided to pursue a 5.91 percent tax levy increase in order to offset part of the $3.4 million shortfall in the budget," he said.
This leaves $1.4 million to make up. With recent figures from state aid, the deficit was reduced to $1 million.
He went on to explain the board looked at many non-mandated areas including kindergarten when looking at cuts.
"We did it to be transparent, not to scare people," said Sabo. "We must put all areas on the table that may be affected. I can assure you that as we put up the 5.91 percent tax increase we will not be cutting to half day or eliminating kindergarten."
In order to balance the 2013-14 proposed budget the school district has saved $415,975 through retirements, cut Project Lead the Way from the ninth grade saving $79,000, eliminated two elementary and two middle school teachers, six teacher aides, three transportation personnel, a cleaner and several monitors for a savings of $1.7 million. (Some of these are reductions are moving persons from full time to part time; others are people who have left and aren't being replaced. At the middle school, the cuts are two full-time equivalent positions.)
While the majority of the community comments centered on keeping full-day kindergarten, one speaker called for everyone to contact the State Education Department and State Sen. George Maziarz, asking them to consider the pay to play procedures for sports, which are allowed in other states.
He also asked for people to call their local legislators and remind them that the property tax abatements are hurting school districts and ask them to share the county sales tax.
Contacting the state became a theme for a few speakers.
"Why don't we take the lead and go to the state and have them mandate kindergarten," said Peggy Wrobel. "If we take a stand locally, which as local officials it is our job to protect the taxpayers, we won't have to be standing here every year and you won't have to be making the decision. Kindergarten isn't something that should be looked at as a cut. It's something that is a need and will only grow."
Other residents called for a look at the health care benefits of N-W employees and ask them to pay more into it. The largest part of the N-W budget is in employee wages, benefits and pensions, which Sabo explained are all contractual issues.
A public hearing on the proposed budget will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, in the Community Resource Room at the high school. The annual election and budget vote is Tuesday, May 21, beginning at 8 a.m.

Second community health center clinic opens in Manchester
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
MANCHESTER - The Manchester Community Health Center opened a second location in the Queen City on Monday, expecting to draw as many as 4,000 new patients for the free and reduce-cost services the clinic provides.
The clinic is located at 184 Tarrytown Road, the address of Doctors Park, the physician offices adjacent to Elliot Hospital.
For years, city health officials and advocates have yearned for a second health center closer to the center-city population it serves. Initial plans were to open a satellite at the Easter Seals facility on Auburn Street.
The Doctors Park location will offer primary care services, prenatal care, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Medicaid enrollment and counseling services.
Expectations suggest the new location will draw another 4,000 patients into the clinic, said Becky Vinson, director of advancement. The Health Center offers health care on a sliding scale to patients.
Last June, the Obama Administration announced a $650,000 grant to help fund the location. The Health Center expects to pay for the remainder through program income and donations or foundation grants, Vinson said.
The Health Center has a goal of raising $250,000 during the first year of operation, Vinson said.

If I am honest I don't really have an interior design eye or really a crafty bone in my body. I like to pretend and I like to try but mostly I just look. If you look in my kids bedrooms they are pretty simple. A cute color on the wall, a bed, toys and shelves. It's the best I can do and my kids seem happy.
Then I come across images of really, truly inspired bedrooms and think, "man, I need to get some of that talent". There are some really lucky kids out there who's bedroom is far cooler then any room in my entire house.

We've been waiting for the latest issue of Fantastic Man with baited breath and not only does it have a beautifully footnoted interview with Tom Ford but it also features Scott Schuman (aka The Sartorialist, but you know that) and a beautifully photographed Maurice Sheltens shoot showing how to pack your clothes properly.
The designer talks about his art collection and his time in New York at the tail end of the '70s. He also discusses the sexuality that runs through all his creative endeavours: 'Sex is part of my image' he says. 'I'm extremely sensual. If I like someone I want to touch them, if I love them I want to hold onto them. I'm very physical.'
Ford compares himself to Alexander McQueen and Nicolas Ghesquière saying: 'I am very much a designer but I am not an artist and I have never pretended to be.'

Business groups will take to the boardwalk in Seaside Heights at 11 a.m. Thursday to rally against the proposed constitutional amendment to raise New Jersey's minimum wage.
Voters on Nov. 5 will be tasked with deciding through a ballot measure whether the state should increase its minimum wage by $1, to $8.25, and tie future increases to the consumer price index.
Despite figures released by a Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll last month illustrating that 65 percent of registered New Jersey voters support the amendment, business groups have been vocal in their opposition to a wage hike, claiming it will hurt the small-business community and create jobs losses.
Tom Bracken, president and CEO of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, isn't putting too much stock into the latest poll numbers. He said previous polls have shown even higher margins — and from now until November, an amped-up educational campaign is planned.
"We wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think we could win," Bracken said.
Bracken said a big focus of Thursday's event will be to dispel any claims from opponents that the business community is advocating against the working poor by opposing a minimum wage hike. He said it's been an unfair light cast on business groups, particularly because he says raising the minimum wage will have an adverse effect on those its attempting to serve.
"We need to clear the air and let people know what the real issue is (and) what the ramifications are of voting yes on this," Bracken said.
Bracken added that he's still unsure as to why the issue isn't being tackled legislatively and instead left to the ballot box. He said he takes more of an issue with the process thus far than the actual dollar amount in question.
Of particular concern to the business community is language calling for the wage-CPI tie the law would create. Gov. Chris Christie had sought to decouple the CPI and the wage in a conditional veto in January.
Also scheduled to speak are National Federation of Independent Business state director Laurie Ehlbeck, NFIB-NJ Leadership Council chair Joe Olivo and Seaside Park business owner Bobby Stewart, whose retro arcade on Funtown Pier was destroyed in the recent boardwalk fire.
Elsewhere in the state Thursday, a rally in support of the potential minimum wage hike is also scheduled.
At 5 p.m. in North Brunswick, Working Families United for New Jersey will host a fundraiser event for its "Raise the Wage" campaign featuring Newark Mayor Cory Booker, the frontrunner in the October U.S. Senate race, and state Sen. Barbara Buono (D-Edison), who badly trails Christie in the race for the governorship.

We noted yesterday that the Barack Obama campaign arrogantly dismissed John McCain's suggestion that the two candidates go to Iraq together. This morning, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs clarified that Obama isn't necessarily averse to traveling to Iraq–he was there once, for two days in 2006–it's just that he and McCain have different agendas when they talk to our commanders and soldiers there:
You know, I don't think we'll be taking that trip with John McCain, because, as Senator Obama said yesterday, the work that the men and women in our military are doing over there is just far too important for them to be props in some sort of political stunts or photo-op.
You know, what they're doing over there is separated from their families, giving for their country. It's truly, truly amazing.
And I think we would want to go over there and talk to them and see what sort of difficulties they're facing and see how it is that we can begin to carefully remove them and carefully bring them back to their families and bring them back to the United States.
This is consistent with the Democrats' irrational commitment to failure. Obama won't go to Iraq to size up the situation; to get our commanders' ideas on how to bring the mission to a successful conclusion; to hear from the thousands of service members who would tell him that their mission is critically important and should not be abandoned. No: the only reasons Obama can imagine for going to Iraq are to "see the difficulties" our troops are facing and to determine how to "carefully" bring the troops–all of them, seemingly–home. In defeat.

A new report finds that during the Great Recession, U.S. residents made fewer long-range moves, but there was an increase in moving locally.
A new report finds that during the Great Recession, U.S. residents made fewer long-range moves, but there was an increase in moving locally.
According to the study released Wednesday by US 2010, metropolitan areas with high unemployment and high foreclosure rates generally saw greater rates of local moves. Unlike in past decades, when local movers were moving up economically - such as from an apartment to a house or from one house to a better one - the recent movers sliding economically were generally seeking cheaper housing.
So it's not surprising that in 2010, San Joaquin County ranked fourth highest nationally with more than 15 percent of the populace making local moves when compared to others of the nation's 100 largest metro areas.
That year overall, 9 percent of U.S. residents moved locally, the highest level in a decade, the study found. At the same time, fewer than 2 percent of Americans made longer moves, crossing county or state lines, the lowest level in the same period.
"Most distressing is the evidence that black residents have been particularly affected by this trend - more likely to be pushed into a short-distance move by these economic conditions," said Michael A. Stoll, author of the brief and a public policy professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
James Casey, owner of Casey Moving Systems, based in Ceres but which serves San Joaquin County from offices in Stockton, said Wednesday he'd certainly seen a steep decline in interstate moves, but that business has turned around.
"It was down as much as 40 percent, and now it's on a rebound," he said.
Casey said he also saw a smaller decline - a 10 to 15 percent drop - in intrastate and local moves.
But at the same time, he noted that people who lost jobs or were forced to move because of a foreclosure generally didn't have the money to hire professional movers.
"The (wave of) foreclosures was a negative impact on our business," Casey said.
However, for the Central Valley at least, most of the professional moving business is in short-distance jobs.
"The truth of the matter is, in a normal setting in our particular part of the world, the number of local moves has always been more than interstate moving. ... It has always been much greater," Casey said.
The Great Recession affected U.S. moving patterns in several ways, the report said.
"Because the recession was nationwide, it shut off the lure of 'better job pastures' elsewhere," the report said. "People seeking better jobs (or even jobs) could not simply move West, South, East or North."
Also contributing were "the high cost of interstate moves and falling housing prices that cemented homeowners (particularly those with underwater mortgages) in place," it said.
The report, "Great Recession Spurs a Shift to Local Moves," was released by US 2010, a program of research on changes in American society, led by John Logan, a professor of sociology at Brown University, and supported by the Russell Sage Foundation and Brown University.

Quickflix poaches Telstra's IPTV content architect
Telstra execs in leadership ranks
Australian IPTV aspirant Quickflix has poached another pivotal Telstra content executive to bolster its leadership team.
Andrew Lambert, Telstra Media's GM, business development and content acquisition, left the carrier on Friday to take the newly created role of executive VP at Quickflix.
A Quickflix company spokesperson confirmed Lambert's executive appointment to The Reg but would not comment further in his role.
Lambert's appointment marks the third high profile ex-Telstra executive to join the company's ranks in the last two months. In July, former director of Telstra Media, Chris Taylor was announced as the new CEO of Quickflix while industry stalwart Justin Milne, the former head of Telstra Big Pond and Telstra Media, also joined the company as deputy chairman.
The executive hires followed Quickflix's acquisition of Telstra's BigPond Movies DVD rental business.
The acquisition, finalised in July, will see Telstra's DVD catalogue of around 44,000 join the Quickflix library of 50,000 movies, TV series, documentary and sporting titles across 400 genres.
While Telstra dumped its old-school model to ramp up its on demand T-Box IPTV service, it may soon be competing with Quickflix on the IPTV platform, as the company prepares for an aggressive leap into digital delivery this year, in the style of Netflix.
Lambert, who was the chief architect behind Telstra's most significant content acquisition deals, will be the lynchpin in Quickflix's transformation.
Lambert has been with Telstra since 2003, starting as supervising counsel at BigPond and moving into the key role of GM, content acquisition and strategic partnerships at Telstra Media where he worked on most of the key content licensing deals and other key commercial deals behind the in BigPond Movies and T-Box services. Prior to joining Telstra he worked as an M&A lawyer in Australia and the US advising companies in the media and communications industries.
Quickflix claims over 80,000 active subscribers, 200,000 online members and has been aggressively growing its social media community presence. ®

The Boy Scouts of America could soon give local troop sponsors the option to admit gays as Scouts and leaders.
The Boy Scouts of America could soon give local troop sponsors the option to admit gays as Scouts and leaders.
The local option would be a reversal of a position the BSA reaffirmed only last year, sparking wide protests as well as sponsor and corporate withdrawals.
The plan being discussed would allow local sponsors, including religious and civic groups, to open up their membership.
Such a move would protect, for example, a church that sponsored a Scout troop but whose religious tenets opposed gays and lesbians. By changing the rules internally there isn't the onus of a government or judicial mandate. And it gives gay scouts and their parents the option of finding a troop that meets their needs.
It also would allow groups to open scouting ranks to eager young men and qualified leaders without regard to their sexual orientation.
To be sure there are those who will argue that allowing gay scouts condones "gayness," but that argument has about as much validity as those suggesting being gay is a choice.
It is no more a choice than eye color. But this isn't about a life choice. It's about teaching tolerance of human differences. Would any right-minded person condone excluding a physically or mentally handicapped youngster from Scouting?
There also are those who argue that by allowing gay leaders scout troops will become recruiting stations for gays.
This is a pretty slippery argument given that the BSA knew of cases of abuse chronicled for years in long-confidential records that are widely known as the "perversion files."
According to court documents dating from the 1960s to 1991, the BSA knew about numerous cases of alleged abuse and Boy Scout officials never alerted authorities and sometimes actively sought to protect the accused.
The Scouts today are under a California court order, affirmed this month by the state Supreme Court, ordering the organization to turn over sex abuse files from 1991 to 2011 for a former Scout who claims a leader molested him in 2007, when he was 13.
The BSA has apologized for past lapses and cover-ups, and has stressed the steps taken to improve youth protection policy. Since 2010, for example, it has mandated that any suspected abuse be reported to police.
That mandate makes sense just as the local option for gay scouts makes sense as a sensible first step.

Attendance at CIU Undergraduate Preview Days Sets a Record
Great things are happening at Columbia International University, and the excitement is contagious.
At CIU's Undergraduate Preview Days in March, a record 86 high school students came to the Columbia campus to check out the school and to see what all the excitement is about.
During CIU Preview Days, students toured the campus, attended classes and chapel, ate lunch with CIU President Bill Jones, interacted with current students, chatted with professors and interviewed for scholarships.
New at this spring's preview days was the Reel Stuff video contest. Teams of CIU students produced feature videos about what makes CIU different. The videos were then played and judged at Preview Days to give the visiting high school students an idea of what CIU is like. The top prize brought the winners $1,000.

Suburban eateries put best meal forward during Chicago Restaurant Week
Tired of popping the usual frozen pizza into the oven for dinner? Craving something more from dining out than an order of fries with your burger?
How about diving into a honey mustard tequila Napa cabbage slaw salad, followed by baby back ribs with rich, whiskey baked beans, corn on the cob and a spicy jalapeño cornbread? What if you could top that off with a dessert of bourbon bread pudding, drizzled with a sweet maple glaze?
Impossible, you say -- think of the cost!
But the meal, from Prairie River Restaurant in Itasca, is just one of many prix fixe menu options at local restaurants during the sixth annual Chicago Restaurant Week 2013, running Friday, Feb. 1, through Sunday, Feb. 10.
Diners can sample a wide variety of multicourse meals at set prices, with menus ranging from $22 for lunches to $33-$44 for dinners.
More than 270 restaurants throughout Chicago and the suburbs will participate, said Meghan Risch of Choose Chicago, the city's sales and marketing organization that oversees the event.
"Chicago Restaurant Week offers locals and visitors the opportunity to explore Chicago's wonderfully diverse epicurean excellence," Risch said. "It's an opportunity to pay tribute to Chicago's masterful chefs, and give diners an opportunity to experience the multitude of flavors in the city, while bringing business to establishments during a typically slower time of year."
Many venues are offering both lunch and dinner menus for Restaurant Week, while some serve dinner-only options.
Eddie Sweeney, executive chef at Catch 35 in Naperville, said his venue offers a lunch menu and a choice of a three- or four-course dinner.
For lunch, Catch 35 diners can choose from a wild Florida shrimp wedge salad, blackened fish tacos, Maine lobster roll, Lake Superior whitefish or beef tenderloin sliders. Soup or salad and a dessert are included for $22 a person.
"The discounted pricing is a nice thing for both our new and regular customers," Sweeney said. "Diners might find a new favorite dish here during Chicago Restaurant Week, and then keep coming back to Catch 35 again and again."
Bill Nevruz, an operating partner for Shaw's Crab House and Tokio Pub, both in Schaumburg, said he saw a "great response" to Chicago Restaurant Week last year. This year, Nevruz said he is happy to have Shaw's taking part in the event as well.
"Guests can come in, order from our specialty menu and learn a bit more about what a certain restaurant is all about," Nevruz said.
Although many of the restaurants have menus for a single diner, Tokio Pub's dinner menu is designed for two, Nevruz said.
"There is usually a lot of sharing of food at Tokio Pub. It's a very social eating environment," Nevruz said. "So our Chicago Restaurant Week dinner menu is designed for two people, and includes two specialty drink cocktails."
Tokio Pub's dinner includes edamame, the Tokio spicy tuna roll, a noodle bowl, a stout brownie and a specialty cocktail.
Paul Muszynski, managing partner at The Capital Grille in Lombard, said Chicago Restaurant Week will allow food lovers to try many of his venue's favorites, including specialty steaks, the citrus glazed salmon or the signature cheeseburger.
"It's a great opportunity to showcase the restaurant," Muszynski said. "And it gives people an incentive to say, 'Why not try something new?'"
