Rated 5 out of 5�by RAS2 Product has great features Have not used but it is exactly what I wanted?this is all I have to say, has been too cold to try out yet!,, November 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Eric P Sharp!!! Great hook! Been using it for flipping and also as a straight shank worm hook. The bait keeper makes a huge difference in keeping the bait held up on the hook so it doesn't get pulled to the bottom when you set the hook on a fish. Very sharp as well. Was able to pierce the mouth of a bullseye snakehead which is very boney. Will always be keeping this in my box. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by JBVTBASS Super nice hooks I love these hooks work great hold the bait well and super sharp for a great hook set September 5, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by Yount04 Best hooks on the market I have used Trokar TK130 flippin hooks for years and in my opinion they cannot be beat. If you just touch the tip of the hook it will break the skin. Never have to worry about missing fish or thrown hooks. Great product. June 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bittersbaitandtackle Trokar hooks I have used many trokar hooks and have never had a problem with any of them they are pricey but worth it. February 21, 2013

If investors know where to look they may find some opportunity in the oil-drilling sector, analyst Ken Sill said. » Read More
Ever notice the mania that follows each Wednesday's report? Here's how you capitalize on it.
The old adage advises investors to "sell in may and go away," but CNBC asked the experts for stock picks that might that might make investors stay in the game this month.
Recent gains in the markets have changed the valuation picture on a lot of stocks, but Jefferies managing director Art Hogan is constantly on the lookout for bargains, and he told CNBC about some stocks that are still steals.
When stock prices tumble, some investors run for cover. Others, like four-star fund managers Jason Votruba and Jeff Auxier, find buying opportunities in beaten-down stocks.
The stock market appeared to return to normal this past week, but many analysts believe continued credit worries will drive prices lower in the near term. Still, long-term investors should be on the lookout for bargains.
It was an extra-long Lightning Round today. That means more callers, more genius from Cramer and more strategies for Home Gamers. Investing can be confusing. Luckily, Cramer has mapped out some road rules for all you Home Gamers trying to navigate the jungle that is Wall Street. Think of it as "Mad Money 101" –- some fundamental advice to keep in mind as you play the market. Whether you're a first time investor or a seasoned financier, it's always good to remember the basics.

Not your best effort Chris but a good try. Honest words indeed, however given Chamakh's start (not bad by any count) especially in his first season I still fail to see why you hate him so much.He isn't world class and i'll accept that any day, as for Bendtner everytime I see him score I keep thinking he isn't as bad a player as he would be at a physical team like Stoke or Blackburn.Our formation and style of play does not suit Bendtner at all and Arshavin is the only one who seems to know how to get the best out of him.....mysterious indeed.

Jordan Pre-Selects Total, Manaseer to Import, Sell Oil Products
Jordan pre-selected technical offers from Total SA and Amman-based Al Manaseer Co. for rights to import and distribute refined oil products, Al Ghad reported.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is studying financial details of the offers submitted by the companies, the newspaper reported today, citing a government official it didn't identify. Jordan Petroleum Refinery Co. currently holds a domestic monopoly on the import and sale of oil products, and the ministry hopes to make the business more competitive by inviting additional suppliers, Al Ghad said.
Total and Al Manaseer, if the ministry approves their offers, will both have the right to own and operate gasoline stations, import oil products and sell the products to other filling stations and retail customers, according to the newspaper with headquarters in Amman.

The Leader by antoniavogelWatch
©2012-2016 antoniavogel
This is a portrait of Oblomow, the male pack leader. I really love his "noble" looks, one of the most beautiful wolves I ever met!
Watercolor painting.
Watercolor painting.
looks good
<3 I just love how you paint the fur and get the right head shape. My husky shylo has the same fluff to his fur, though he's black and white :'D Amazing work!
Thanks for your nice comment I really like how the fur came out, it's strange how it works out, since the less single hairs you draw, the fluffier the fur becomes!
I know right? I foundout the hard way that drawing it in thick patches can make it.... a little stringy and what not xD eh. I like how well this came out!
really stunning
love how you colored its fur
love how you colored its fur
Thanks, I tried to give it a warm and soft feeling, almost as if you could touch it - with many cream and soft, reddish brown colors.
absolutely beautiful, wish i could paint like this.. unfortunately not yet, you do the fur so purfectly
Thanks and it's all practice (or at least very very much, plus personal style) so go on painting and it will word out for you, too!
damnit this looks amazing
This is really good. Nice job with the colors and his eye and... everything. Great job ^^
Thanks for your kind words - Oblomov has kind of small eyes/he mostly keeps them half closed, so I really paid attention to them. I'm an eye person, you know. Most important for me
Wow! I love the fur detail
Thanks! I'm glad the fur worked out so... plushy, one could say. Not quite easy with watercolor (pencil is faster and more detailed) but it's always worth the effort!
BEAUTIFUL. This is amazing. Absolutely amazing .o.
He's so proud and majestic
This is incredible!
tolle Fellstruktur!
you've captured his eyes beautifully, and his coat looks amazing! Well done, great art work!
beautiful ! love it...
it's beautiful work !

Mushroom stroganoff can often be rich, creamy and high in calories - this version cuts the calories without cutting the taste!
I didn't add the tomato puree, soy sauce or thyme but added french mustard and light philadelphia. It smelt and tasted like a low fat stroganoff - delicious!
- 09 Mar 2012
Delicious! I didn't add the tomato puree but did add soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and a bit of thyme. Next time I might add a bit more yogurt so we end up with more sauce. Ate it with brown rice, green beans and broccoli. We will have this again.

Trees can be a sore spot in the Panhandle - especially the elimination of 1,185 of them.
Proposing the removal of that number of trees along U.S. Highways 60 and 83 in hopes of improving safety earned the Texas Department of Transportation a lot of complaints.
"We had letters, e-mails, calls, personal visits from people saying they loved their trees and they didn't want us to do the project at all," Tonya Detten, TxDOT spokeswoman, said Tuesday.
As a result, the project has been put on hold, she said.
"It was just a proposal to begin with, and so many people came forward that we decided to take a step backward and find a balance between safety and what the public's desire is."
TxDOT had planned to remove the trees in a clear-zone project.
Detten said having an 30-foot area extending from the white "fog line" on the side of the road that is clear of fixed objects improves safety.
Areas along highways 60 and 83 in Ochiltree, Roberts, Carson, Gray, Hemphill and Lipscomb counties would have lost trees within 30 feet of the side of the road - and at least in Hemphill County, that was cause for concern for quite a few people.
"It's really been kind of all-consuming here for a few weeks at the paper," said Cathy Ricketts, a reporter at the Canadian Record. "I've never seen anything like this as far as the opposition. They've really latched onto this."
Ricketts said more than 100 people attended a meeting on the issue - a big turnout for something like that, she said - and the paper is still getting letters. People have also been calling to find out where they can sign petitions against the removal of the trees. She said petitions are all over town.
"They just don't even understand why it came up," she said. "The safety issue - seven accidents (between 1992 and 2001). They feel like maybe there are other things that need more attention than that. Safety is important, but trees are, too. You can hardly find anyone who says cut the trees down except the engineers at TxDOT."
Not even TxDOT engineers are eager to say that now, however. Detten said nothing will be done until at least October 2005, and the project has been expanded to include removal of other fixed objects like signs, drainage structures, utility poles and culverts, all of which will be paid for by TxDOT.
As for the trees, Detten said TxDOT hopes to remove fewer trees than the 1,185 originally proposed. Instead, the agency will consider other options such as putting guardrails up to protect the trees, transplanting trees and planting new trees to replace those that are removed.
And before anything is done, there will be an environmental review to see what impact the trees' removal might have, and a historical review to ensure that none of the trees removed were planted during the Great Depression by the Works Progress Administration.
"We are going to tentatively redevelop," Detten said. "We hope to incorporate more of the public's desire and reduce the number of trees eliminated. Our goal is to design a more forgiving roadway. We know people will leave the road."

2011 Mazda CX-9 SUV Touring 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
Very comfortable and spacious. Fits 5 adults and a car seat/child very well. Great cargo space when back seats are folded down. Gas consumption could be better. A little wind noisy.
2011 Mazda CX-9 SUV Grand Touring 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
This is with out a doubt the best car I've ever owned in 45 Years. 2011, Just breaking in at 70K Miles. Like new.
I'm hangin on to this one. I give it a 10- Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring, loaded.
2011 Mazda CX-9 SUV Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
We have been a "Toyota Family" since we learned the value of looking up consumer ratings. I must say we have been surprised over and over again with this Mazda. It's performance in handling the road is great. The gas mileage, seating capacity, and separate controls makes it special. Glad we switched over.
2011 Mazda CX-9 SUV Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
I am the daughter of an ASE certified mechanic and wife to a tow truck driver. I like to think I know a little more than the average female car shopper. I did a TON of research before deciding to purchase my 2011 Mazda CX-9. I had specific criteria - so much so that one salesman told me I was "looking for a unicorn". Whatever, I got what I wanted. However, after driving this vehicle for about a month now, I have discovered a few things I do not like about it....
1. I do not like feeling the shifting between gears. This car has the option to manually shift (Stupid), so the transmission is not a straight 6 (gears in a line).
2. Research put gas mileage at 20-22 mpg. I am averaging (according to the car's computer) 17.7 mpg, with an average speed of 27 mph. I do not drive like a maniac or gun it at a green light. I'm an average driver. Maybe my previous SUV ('03 GMC Envoy) had a bigger tank.....I don't know, but I feel like this car is SUCKING the gas.
3. This is smaller than my Envoy, so I'm still adjusting to the smaller cargo space. When using the 3rd row, I cannot load large items or a bunch of shopping bags. I often carry 6 passengers when the girls go shopping - but there's no room for bags except on the floor where they are sitting.
4. This is the first car I've ever had with leather; and it's black leather. Though the interior looks sleek and nice, I live in the south, and leather seats are HOT!! I almost scalded myself!! Plus, they retain the heat too, so as soon as I sit down, my backside is sweating profusely.
5. Maybe it's just MY car, or maybe it's because it's 10,000 degrees outside with 500% humidity, but the A/C takes its time getting cool. I haven't had it looked at yet.
It can get up and go if you need it to. It has a 3rd row seat that I really wanted. I got a great deal. It has a sleek sporty look inside & out. And, I like the updates that I didn't have in my '03 Envoy, like an AUX port and in-console 12v port (no longer referred to as a "cigarette lighter", I guess). The seats fold & move easily one-handed. With the 3rd row folded, the cargo space is adequate for this size car.
It was this or a KIA Sorrento..... I'm considering trading it in, but I'll give it a few more months.
2011 Mazda CX-9 SUV Grand Touring 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
Had since new, 28k miles now. I tested everything at the time, traded an 08 Pathfinder. First impression was good; comfy, good power, nice interior. I almost passed for two reasons that now have me shopping again; FWD, and steering position. I prefer RWD or AWD but wanted best fuel econ. Although torque steer is not an issue, it IS a heavy steering feel and quick acceleration out of a tight/emergency spot just spins the wheels.#2, I just can't get comfortable with steering position. The wheel is slanted too far forward, making the reach at 10/2 a stretch (I'm 5'8"). Not enough adj to make it right for me. No lighted window/door lock swtchs, boomy sound and no flat cargo area are other gripes
Sporty, (almost) car like feel, Bluetooth, nice interior, cargo room, ok mileage, reliability. It IS a nice ride, don'tt get me wrong... Just that the things I DON'T like are enough to make me look around.
More adjustable steering controls, lighted door switches, fold flat rear seats (with no spaces in the floor, makes loading/sliding gear a nightmare), tiptronic that goes the way the rest of the industry does (up is UPSHIFT), memory to include mirrors. GT could be a bit 'meaner' looking. Nav system is lacking, Sound system is REALLY bass heavy with minimum sound adj. controls, and sharing Bluetooth with others that drive the car can be time consuming to switch (if both phones are findable). It's a nice CrsOver, but thinking to take a look at the new Durango... RWD, Flat cargo, a bit more aggressive looking and can tow. Better Mileage! 17.8 is best I've gotten with the CX-9.

REPORTS of the current status of marijuana research were presented at a symposium on marijuana held in July 1978 in Reims, France, under the aegis of the Seventh International Congress of Pharmacology.1-2 More than 100 scientists from 14 countries attended the meeting sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), The French Ministry of Health, the French National Institute for Health and Research (INSERM), and the International Medical Council on Drug Use. Organizers of the symposium were Gabriel G. Nahas (Columbia University), W. D. M. Paton (Department of Pharmacology, Oxford University), and Monique Braude (NIDA). Analysis, metabolism, cellular responses, and effects on reproduction and on the brain were the topics discussed during the two-day meeting.
The pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and elimination) of the psychoactive substance of marijuana—Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC—and of its byproducts (metabolites) were described by E. R. Garrett (University of Florida). Unlike water-soluble

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Jackson has an abundance of average to above-average tools and he should be a good everyday player for a long time.
The Player: Brett Jackson (OF, Chicago Cubs) – Jackson was a late first round pick (31st overall) by the Cubs in 2009. He played his college ball at California and stepped right in to rake across three levels that summer. He did the same across two more levels in 2010 and continued that trend with a strong showing at both Double-A and Triple-A in 2011. For the year Jackson posted a .274/.379/.490 line in 115 games with 20 home runs and 21 steals.
Scouting Report
Body: Built very well with a strong body all the way around. Fills out his frame and uniform well (6-2, 210). Looks the part.
Makeup: Handles highs and lows well, remains calm throughout the game. Tireless worker that is routinely taking extra swings in the cage and shagging flies in the OF. Plus makeup overall.
Hit: Balanced stance, maintains balance through swing, moderate leg kick as part of trigger, has some noise in hands during setup but gets the bat to the zone quickly and routinely with only occasional bouts with length. Shows plus bat speed but lacks ability to adjust to pitches. Pitch recognition lags and is susceptible to getting way out in front of slower breaking balls and change-ups. Shows improved approach and willingness to work deep into counts. Grade – 30/40
Power: Plus bat speed and natural strength allow him to drive ball to all fields. Has added loft to swing and can get the ball over the fence with ease. At his best when he trusts swing/strength to drive the ball deep rather than muscling up for it. Grade (raw power) – 50/60
Arm: Can make all throws from all three spots, gets rid of the ball quickly and generates plenty of carry on his throws. Accuracy has improved greatly. Grade – 50/50
Fielding: Good jumps and routes, reads ball very well off the bat at all three outfield positions. Defense is better in the corners but can handle center field easily for now. Tracks better to his left than right. Grade (center field) – 50/50
Speed: Good runner once underway, can be a little slow out of the box at times. Speed plays well in the outfield. Picks spots to run well but must improve jumps from first base. Has flashed 3.98-4.05 times to first base. Grade – 60/60
Summation: Very capable in all facets of the game. Can handle center field in the short term (and possibly longer) with enough hitting ability for power and approach to play against MLB pitchers. Profiles as an everyday guy that hits in the middle of the lineup with 20+ home runs, 60+ walks, a fair average and good defense.
Relative Risk: Low. Jackson's game requires only minor tweaks before he is ready for the big leagues. His makeup should allow him to shrug off any early struggles he encounters as he adjusts and his broad skill set should allow him to be a big league regular without trouble.
Future: Jackson will have a slim chance of breaking camp with the Cubs in the spring. The more likely scenario has him returning to Triple-A Iowa to finish polishing his skill and prepare for an extended big league trial in the second half of the season. It is doubtful Jackson ever develops into a star but he should be a consistent player that Cubs fans can count on as the new regime re-shapes the franchise.

If you have a feature request or idea to suggest for Zotpress, do so here. Help me make Zotpress "Fantastic!"
If you have a feature request or idea to suggest for Zotpress, do so here. Help me make Zotpress "Fantastic!"
First, I wanted to say this is a fantastic plugin -- thanks very much for the hard work!
Here are two things I can't figure out how to do currently:
1) Order by the last name of the author. I'm using chicago-author-date, but would also apply to MLA, etc. I understand this can get tricky in a mixed list of items, some of which don't have explicit authors, but perhaps one could fail back to the name of the publication/work in that case? It would also be no problem for author-less items to sort to the very bottom.
2) Hyperlink the URL's returned. Although inappropriate for print, wrapping them in a href makes a lot of sense for the web. I am guessing this a different issue than the "Download" option?
Big Props for the PlugIn and same 2 suggestions from me and an additional one:
1) the Ordering just doesn't seem to work with longer lists
2) The Hyperlink/Download Option would be great
3) I would like to be able to format the Output with HTML-tags to change Font Size etc.
Thanks for the input!
(1) Sadly, ordering/sorting is out for now due to issues on the Zotero side of things. The best that Zotpress can offer right now is filtering by author. See the note under "URL Parameters > order" here.
(2) Done, as of 3.0! Thanks for the great suggestion.
(1) Actually, ordering isn't working at all (well, you can only order by the "dateAdded" field). The Zotero folks are working on getting this running. See my (1) note to @pleonard above.
(2) As of 3.0, I've applied a number of IDs and classes to citation elements. If this still isn't rich enough, please let me know EXACTLY what you'd like to be able to style via CSS, and I'll see what I can do. Note: The citations often come pre-styled based on the reference style (e.g. MLA, APA, etc.) you choose.
Is it possible to have a function where I enter a bibliographic reference (e.g. "this is what someone said (Smith 2011, 1)" and this automatically creates the bibliography pulled from my Zotero account? As is the case with Zotero in Word etc.
This would be amazing!
I would like to display my notes with my bibliographic citations. I've been playing around with it myself, and it looks like it would be non-trivial, but possible. So far, what I've been able to get it to do was to include notes with a certain by creating a function that is called whenever the $item_type = "note". The function does an API call for just that note that does not specify a style, and therefore returns an XML document containing the note text. (See below for a sample record.) I'm then able to parse the XML to create HTML of the note text.
This seems like it might be unnecessarily inefficient, and the notes and citations are all jumbled together. You'll have a citation for one item, followed by a note that was the child of another item, with no visual indication of how the two are (not) related.
The XML for the notes contains a value for the parent (<link rel="up" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://api.zotero.org/users/163121/items/E7WV8SJT"/>), but of course, you would have to sort all of this out before printing any of it to the screen, which doesn't seem to be how things are done currently.
So I have two questions: (1) would it be possible to have this feature, and (2) am I approaching my attempts to implement it myself the wrong way?
Thank you,

Textual history

"A text does not fully or unambiguously display its history—even the most insightful of interpretations and analyses are only likely to recover some elements of its fuller history, to notice some textual features that allow for uncertain guesses about their origins...All writing draws on writers' knowledge, beliefs, and practices, built up through experiences of socially and historically situated life events. Writers themselves are only very partially aware of the many debts they owe to these intertextual and intercontextual influences," (171).

@rloconne Wow, looks like you've already gotten pretty far with this -- I'll see about implementing a "notes" feature into the next version of Zotpress.
@rloconne I sent a question to the dev list about an easier way to get at the notes for each citation ... hopefully there's a better way to do this.
@andoskin I've implemented this in Zotpress 4.3. Hope you like it! I'd love feedback -- it really is a first strike at this.
Brilliant plugin!
I have some quick suggestions:
Thanks again for the brilliant work!
@andersjohansson Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!
1. Good idea. I'm thinking about adding a "Zotpress Settings" shortcode to address this. (Reason being that you might want different settings per post.)
2. Right now, the in-text styling is being manually done in Zotpress. I don't know if the Zotero API will do this (seems to be for generating bibliographies only.) However, I will look into this. At worst, we can start localizing Zotpress on our own (and translators will be credited by Zotpress).
3. I want this too! The biggest problem is that there's a number of different WordPress text editors and it's simply impossible to create code that would work with them all. (At least, in theory.) I'll keep pondering on this ...
4. Done. Check out Zotpress 4.5 and let me know what you think. It's a first pass so there's probably lots to be improved upon!
I don't if it's possible, but adding an amazon links for each items in the bibliography with amazon resellers code.
(I'm not an amazon fan, I prefere my local real bookstore, but it's could be an easy way for visitors to get the book and for blog writer to monetarize their expertise (and make donation for zotpress :p).
first of all thanks for the great work on this plugin. We're currently evaluating it for use on a new website for our research group and it's saving us a lot of work already.
As for suggestions.. although the display of citations can be styled to some extent already using css, it would be nice to have a little more control over what data is being rendered. We would like, for example, to not show the "Retrieved from..." link, but do want the "(Download)" link for pdfs uploaded in zotero. Would that be possible? I can also imagine that we might want to not show the doi always. On a long list of references it would be good to have the option of showing only a minimum of data. Could options like these be added to the shortcode parameters?
Another thing I found useful in bibliplug (which we've abandoned in favour of zotpress you might be happy to hear ;)) is the option when setting up the zotero connection to only import a particular folder of the specified user or group. This could dramatically cut down on data being synced I'd imagine.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Suspension lifted, but Bynum remains banned from Cavs
Andrew Bynum's suspension from the Cleveland Cavaliers lasted just one day, but the end of his stint with the team is all but official.
CLEVELAND -- Andrew Bynum's suspension from the Cleveland Cavaliers lasted just one day, but the end of his stint with the team is all but official.
Bynum was suspended without pay Saturday for one day for conduct detrimental to the team. Team officials said Sunday that the suspension has been lifted and he is now getting paid again -- but that Bynum remains excused from team activities.
That's sort of the legalese version. The layman's version: Bynum is on paid leave, and on the trading block. If the Cavs can't find any takers, they're expected to waive him before Jan. 7.
If he isn't traded or waived before then, the Cavs will have to guarantee the second half of his $12.25 million salary this season.
The big man's former coach Phil Jackson chimed in with his thoughts on Bynum's suspension via Twitter. READ MORE
According to FOX Sports Ohio sources, the decision to suspend Bynum was the result of smaller incidents that took place over time, capped by a more significant one Friday at practice.
The Cavs are having no success at trading Bynum, as teams are unwilling to part with assets for such a major uncertainty, sources said. Bynum missed all of last season with the Philadelphia 76ers with knee issues, including surgery on both knees in March.
Several league sources said dealing him will be a challenge, but possible.
The 7-footer has played in 24 games with the Cavs, starting 19. He's compiled averages of 8.6 points and 5.3 rebounds.
The Cavs needed time to adjust playing with Bynum at center, and now must readjust to playing without him.
"The biggest thing is not many teams have a guy that can score in the low post," said Cavs coach Mike Brown. "Even growing up, everything now is shooting (3-pointers) and transition basketball and pick and roll and drive and kick. To be able to understand how to play through the post is a unique skill set."
The suspension for Saturday's loss at Boston was believed to cost Bynum about $111,000.

Report: Only Way Nation Will Pay Attention To Climate Change Is If Julia Roberts Dies In Hurricane
America's Finest News Service does it again. Here's an excerpt from The Onion:
… Florida State University researchers released a report Wednesday revealing that the only circumstance in which Americans would ever pay any attention at all to the issue of climate change would be if film actress Julia Roberts were killed in a hurricane.
"Our data suggest that Julia Roberts will either have to drown in rising floodwaters or be crushed to death as 170-mile-per-hour winds demolish her home before the country even acknowledges global warming," said the study's lead author….
"Even if millions are killed and entire cities are washed away, only the sight of Ms. Roberts' pale, lifeless corpse lying amid storm wreckage will convince Americans to have open and frank discussions about the disastrous effects of greenhouse-gas emissions…."

7 Responses to Report: Only Way Nation Will Pay Attention To Climate Change Is If Julia Roberts Dies In Hurricane
While a conjured reality, unfortunately this is closer to the truth than many think. You can have Al Gore up on podiums spewing forth all the live long day, but it will take a REAL CELEBRITY for the American masses to take notice. Unfortunately, there has been more attention pad to the Brad Pitt Chanel ad then there has been to important issues. Half of America can tell you who George Clooney is dating currently but they can't tell you who their Congressman is.
I don't know though… For the next two days, enough might remember.
Even Rove has conceded that "Sandy" has helped the President.
Has the GOP's gibberish-ridden stance on Global Warming, flying in the face of science, public opinion (67%) and the US military's advice on a national security issue, cost the GOP the White House?
OUCH! That's gotta hurt.
So you've got to hope that no act of senseless self-destruction from Julia Roberts is really necessary. I like Julia Roberts. Loved that film where Richard Gere was the Bain Capital-style guy.
Not so fast! How do I know it's really Julia Roberts and not someone who looks like her or even a mannequin of her? You dont fool me! Im much to smart too be taken in by so-called eJacated libruls!
The only history and science know by extremist Republicans and Christians is from some TV and movies. Thus, Sandy fulfills the cattle stampede in Zulu with the extremist GOP acting as the attacking Zulu braves getting (Al) gored. In a remake of this movie by Spike Lee, there is a part for a single white woman for Ms. Roberts. The violence on woman scenes can still be dominated by the extreme GOP (healthy) and the sick defender.
Has the GOP's… stance on Global Warming… cost the GOP the White House?
If the Democratic Party's candidate for the White House also fails to talk about global warming, does it make much difference?
Sure, we'll get more fuel efficient cars over the next 13 years, but will the resulting reduction from vehicle emissions make up for the increase in oil and gas production during the last four years? I doubt it.
In our two-party system, the Republican Party is defining policy and the Democratic Party is implementing it.
fancy us educated and still submissive to the election farce ?
There is only one conclusive way to authenticate the true Julia: the oral COTH* test.

SWTOR update 1.4 files point to new boss, area, pets, dailies, and companion
SWTOR update 1.4 files have been dug around in by some industrious types, and it looks as though some more content is on the way according to what was unearthed.
Granted, if you are anything like us, we don't like knowing everything which might be on the way – a bit of a job hazard here at VG247 actually – so, instead of posting it all, you will have to head over to the SWTOR forums.
What is not so spoileriffic is the idea of a new boss, a new area, pets, a new companion, and dallies. We're giving you the goods without showing them in a sense.
No word on when these options are coming because the content isn't "official" per se. Anyway, there ya go.

I've been a fan of Timothy Olyphant since 1999, when he was cast as drug dealer Todd Gaines in Go, so I was drawn to this film where he plays the lead. He does a convincing job as Dick, a morphine addict that can't seem to catch a break. I was also impressed with Stephen McIntyre's performance as Bug, a high-strung addict with all of the restraint of a rattlesnake. One of the more enjoyable aspects of the film is watching junkie logic in action, as his fellow addicts and heist conspirators view everything from a warped perspective.
Canadian director Gary Yates, whose career had mostly involved shooting for television, does a surprisingly good job. A perfect example is the self-help group for addicts, where the lighting and camera work makes for a great monologue by suave junkie Billy. The film has a great score which also sets the mood of the movie, with tracks by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Three Dog Night and April Wine.
It's not a straight comedy, so the laughs are infrequent, but the use of humor is always on the money. The buildup to the heist is definitely more interesting than what occurs in the latter half of the film, and the conclusion is a little unsatisfying. It's not a terrific movie as far as crime or drug flicks go, but it's definitely off of the beaten path, and worth a watch.
If you like Timothy Oliphant, you should enjoy seeing him playing a 'non-characteristic' character ... instead of being a straight-laced (Deadwood) or wise-cracking (Justified) good ol' boy lawman, he's a shiftless loser, a stoner/druggie/delinquent ... they don't clearly specify his character's age, but Timothy was actually around 40 when he did this flick, although he looks a LOT younger to me.
The story was a bit twisty with a few surreal drug induced hallucinations and/or imagination scenes that took me a few moments to catch on to ... but in general it's the story of a loser druggie ex-con named Dick (Timothy) who being fresh out of jail is observing the technological advances that have occured while he was put away and contemplating how to take advantage of the weaknesses of new tech in order to make a grand score to set himself up for good. He gathers a crew of old friends and new, makes a plan, and then everything goes to hell.
And all throughout we hear some of the rockin-est tunes from April Wine while the s**** goes down, so it's all good :-D
This isn't necessarily a great movie, but I thought it was a fun movie, with fairly good acting from all involved, no major flaws in plot or execution. If you don't recognize or care about any of the actors, and don't have fond memories of that era gone by, you might not find the story very interesting at all, but if you like 70's rock-n-roll, you might enjoy it just for the soundtrack :-)

Joe Scarnati, a Jefferson County resident and the top Republican in the state Senate, said he viewed Trump's acceptance speech and the ones that came before it Thursday night as packaged to appeal to a narrow group of undecided voters who will decide the election after they make up their minds.

The Theory of Moral Sentiments

Morality and decency are perequisites to capitalism
July 24 2001
This review is from:
The Theory of Moral Sentiments (Hardcover)
To truly understand Adam Smith's economic masterpiece "The Wealth of Nations", one must understand its moral foundation. Without Smith's essential prequel, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments", the more famous "Wealth of Nations" can easily be misunderstood, twisted, or dismissed. Smith rightly lays the premise of his economics in a seedbed of moral philosophy -- the rights and wrongs, the whys and why-nots of human conduct. Smith's capitalism is far from a callous, insensitive, greed-motivated, love-of-profits-at-any-cost approach to the marketplace, when seen in the context of his "Moral Sentiments." [Note: This book is a "page for page reproduction" of a two volume edition published in 1817, which is reflected in my pagination references.]
Smith's first section deals with the "Propriety of Action". The very first chapter of the book is entitled "Of Sympathy". This is very telling of Smith's view of life, and his approach to how men should conduct their lives. "How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it." (p 1:1). Later Smith asserts that this "sympathy, however, cannot, in any sense, be regarded as a selfish principle." (p 2:178)
This propriety of conduct undergirds all social, political and economic activities, private and public. When Smith observes that "hatred and anger are the greatest poisons to the happiness of a good mind" (p 1:44) he is speaking not only of interpersonal relationships but of its moral extensions in the community and world. Smith treats the passions of men with clinical precision, identifying a gamut of passions like selfishness, ambition and the distinction of ranks, vanity, intimidation, drawing examples from history and various schools of philosophy. He extols such quiet virtues as politeness, modesty and plainness, probity and prudence, generosity and frankness -- certainly not the qualities of the sterotypical cartoon of a capitalist robber-baron. Indeed Smith is contemptuous of the double standards employed by cults of celebrity: "The great mob of mankind are the admirers and worshippers...of wealth and greatness" paying lip-service to wisdom and virtue, yet Smith oserves, "there is scarce any man who does not respect more the rich and the great, than the poor and the humble. With most men the presumption and vanity of the former are much more admired, than the real and solid merit of the latter. It is scarce agreeable to good morals or even good language...that mere wealth and greatness, abstracted from merit and virtue, deserve our respect." (p 1:79) Tragically, the wealthy celebrity foists a dangerous pattern upon the public, "even their vices and follies are fashionable;and the greater part of men are proud to imitate and resemble them in the very qualities which dishonour and degrade them." (pp 1:81-82) For Smith, wealth is not the criteria of real success. He laments the political-correctness of his day: "Vain men often give themselves airs...which in their hearts they do not approve of, and of which, perhaps, they are not really guilty. They desire to be praised for what they themselves do not think praiseworthy, and are ashamed of unfashionable virtues....There are hypocrites of wealth and greatness, as well as of religion and virtue; and a vain man is as apt to pretend to be what he is not, in the one way, as a cunning man is in the other." (p 1:82) Smith, the moralist also warns that taken too far such trendy fashions of political-correctness can wreck havoc on society: "In many governments the candidates for the highest stations are above the law; and, if they can attain the object of their ambition, they have no fear of being called to account for the means by which they acquired it. They often endeavor, therefore, not only by fraud and falsehood, the ordinary and vulgar arts of intrigue and cabal; but sometimes by the perpetration of the most enormous crimes...to supplant and destroy those who oppose or stand in the way of their [supposed] greatness." (p 1:83)
With such salient observations Smith embarks in a survey of vices to avoid and passions to govern. He describes virtues to cultivate in order to master one's self as well as the power of wealth. These include courage, duty, benevolence, propriety, prudence and self-love [or as we would say, self-respect]. He develops a powerful doctrine of "moral duty" based upon "the rules of justice", "the rules of chastity", and "the rules of veracity" that decries cowardice, treachery, and falsity. The would-be-Capitalist or pretended-Capitalist who violates any of the rules of moral duty in the accumulation of wealth and power in or out of the marketplace is a misanthrope who may dangerously abuse the wealth and position he acquires. Smith describes a moral base rooted in sympathy not selfishness as the basis for an economic system which has been labeled Capitalism. The real Capitalist operates without purposely harming other men, beasts or nature; in this sense capitalism is more a stewardship than an insensitive, mechanistic mercantilism or a crass commercialism. This book is a vital component to any reading of "The Wealth of Nations". "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is the life-blood or soul of "The Wealth of Nations". Without "Moral Sentiments" one is left with an empty, even soulless, economic theory that can be construed as greedy and grasping no matter how much wealth may be acquired.

North Andover High School wrestling coach David Castricone was charged with possession of child pornography Tuesday, according to multiple media reports.
He was arrested Monday at his Sutton roofing business and arraigned in Lawrence District Court.
According to The Associated Press, police said they received a tip last week that prompted a search of the 60-year-old Castricone's home.
The search uncovered images of both child and adult pornography, including pictures of women who appear to be unaware they were being photographed, The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune reported, citing court records.
According to the records, Castricone was caught on camera going into the girls' locker room at North Andover High at least nine times recently, once leaving with a device that had an LED screen. A female student had reported a man in the locker room with his hands in a locker, which had holes in it, according to the newspaper, leading to a review of the surveillance footage.
"The holes in the locker door were large enough that a device would be able to record through them," investigators wrote, according to the newspaper.
Castricone posted $1,500 bond and was released Tuesday.
Castricone has coached wrestling in Massachusetts for 38 years, but he resigned after his arrest. He had been at North Andover for 25 years, had an overall record of 681-142-3 and two state championships.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for March 30.

Harry Potter actors Bonnie Wright, 20, who plays Harry's love interest Ginny Weasley, and Jamie Campbell Bower, 22, who plays Gellert Grindelwald and also appears in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, are getting married. The couple met during the filming of the final installments of the Potter series.
Paramount Pictures executive Brad Grey, 53, married advertising executive Cassandra Huysentruyt on April 16.

L.A. Lakers star guard Kobe Bryant, 32 (inset), was fined $100,000 on April 12 for making an antigay slur to referee Bennie Adams, 44, calling him a "fa****." N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern, 68, called his remark "offensive and inexcusable." Bryant apologized for the comment and noted that it came "out of frustration during the game, period."
Grammy-winning singer Christina Aguilera, 30, and music executive Jordan Bratman, 33, who separated in September, were officially divorced April 15. The couple, who married in 2005, will reportedly share custody of their son Max, 3. The Los Angeles D.A. also just dropped DUI charges against Aguilera's boyfriend, musician Matthew Rutler, 26, who was arrested on March 1. Authorities determined that his blood-alcohol level did not exceed the legal limit.
Oh, the memories, the hookups and of course the view! It can all be yours for a $9 million. The six-bedroom beach house from the original '90-'00 Beverly Hills, 90210, where Jennie Garth, 39, Tori Spelling, 37, and other characters fumbled their ways through college and into adulthood, is on the market. Buyer, beware: The house is actually located in Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254—about 20 miles from the iconic zip code.
Fashion designer Bijan Pakzad died in Los Angeles following a stroke at age 67. The Iranian-born Pakzad's Rodeo Drive boutique in Beverly Hills offers clothes, jewelry and fragrances, is known as the world's most expensive shop and has supplied goods to the likes of President Barack Obama, 49, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 63, and designer Tom Ford, 49.
Crystal Mangum, 32, the exotic dancer who falsely claimed that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a Durham, N.C., party in 2006, was charged April 18 with first-degree murder. Mangum allegedly stabbed her boyfriend, Reginald Daye, 46, numerous times with a kitchen knife during an April 3 argument. He died 10 days later. This was not Mangum's first run-in with the law. Last year she was convicted of child abuse and vandalism stemming from a fight with a previous boyfriend, and sentenced to time served.

There's nothing like a big hunk of meat to warm you up on a chilly day. This is man-pleasin' food.
That sounds totally sexist. I'm sorry. The thing is that my brother, dad, and Adam all ate big helpings.
Although I only used 2 pounds of meat, the beans and the corn really stretches both the servings and the number served.
If you have a larger hunk of meat, that's okay --- there's more than enough liquid in the pot to handle double or 2.5 x the amount of meat.
The Ingredients.
serves 8
2 to 4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 (15-ounce) can chili beans, undrained
1 (11-ounce) can corn with peppers, undrained
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel (tomatoes and chiles), undrained
* The can of beans pictured are the Bush's brand. Amy pointed out that on Bush's website they say that their brand of Chili beans ARE NOT GLUTEN FREE. Please use a different brand (or use Ranch beans), and always read labels carefully and check with the manufacturer. The ingredient list looked absolutely fine to me, but I didn't take the second step of confirming with the manufacturer. I hate stuff like this. HATE it. Thank you so much, Amy.
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. This is a super simple dump and go recipe--my favorite kind! The meat was frozen solid when I put it into the cooker. The rule of thumb is that if your main ingredient is frozen, the other items should be room temperature or warmed slightly. This is according to Crock-Pot's website. If you have a different manufacturer, follow instructions and use your best judgment. :-)
After your meat is in, add the chipotle chile powder and all the canned ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 6. I like to cook it long enough that the meat falls apart--but you may take it out whenever it reaches your preferred desired tenderness.
The Verdict.
I served this with a baked potato (which you can totally do in the crock, if you are so inclined), to 5 adults and two children. The dishes were clean when I loaded them into the dishwasher...
woo hoo, success!
other great set and forget pot roast recipes:
