A Popping Click When You Open Your Jaw Is Pretty Common
If you experience a popping sound, a grating sound, or a click when you open your mouth, you're not alone. Many people have slight problems with their jaw joint, which is formally known as the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ for short. Whenever we want to open our mouth, our jaw glides down and forward to allow our mouth to open.
The rounded end of the jaw bone that glides down is called the condyle. Between the condyle and our skull, there is a small, soft, lubricated disk that allows our jaw to open smoothly. This is called the articular disk.
Sometimes, that disk may not be big enough, or it may not be the right shape to allow the jaw bone to smoothly glide forward and down when you open your mouth. When this happens, it is a condition known as crepitus.
Crepitus is a word that is used to describe the grating, crackling, and/or popping sounds that are heard around people's joints.
Unfortunately, not everyone has jaw joints. When I open my mouth, my jaw slides down and out nicely on the right side, but on my left side, there is a loud popping noise. Luckily this only happens when I open my mouth really wide, so it doesn't affect me when I chew gum or eat (unless it's a really big hamburger!)
How Common Is Crepitus?
Crepitus, or a popping/clicking noise in the jaw joint is fairly common. Dr. Woelfel, in his book Woelfel's Dental Anatomy analyzed the jaws of 1099 dental and dental hygiene students between 1970 and 1986 to determine how common crepitus was among them. He had each student open their mouth as far as they could. Here is what he found:
- 61.2% of the students had no popping or clicking sounds upon opening their mouths all the way.
- 38.9% of the students did have popping or clicking sounds when they opened their mouths all the way. Of those Students:
- 17.1% had crepitus on the right side of their jaw when opening.
- 12.7% had crepitus on the left side of their jaw when opening. (That's what I have!)
- and 9.1% had crepitus on both sides of their jaw when opening.
As you can see, over 1/3 of the people that Dr. Woelfel screened had crepitus! It sounds like a common occurrence.
How Crepitus Is Treated
Crepitus is usually treated in the most conservative way possible. Many dental experts recommend the most conservative, reversible treatment. Some conservative suggestions that may help you are:
- Eating Soft Foods
- Applying ice packs if you experience pain or swelling in the TMJ area
- Avoiding behaviors that cause pain, such as opening your mouth wide (when yawning, eating, yelling, singing, etc.) or chewing gum.
How I Deal With My TMJ Pain
Usually I only have to deal with the occasional popping/clicking of my jaw when I eat. Sometimes, when I chew gum for a whole day, I do get some pain in my TMJ area. I usually just try to relax my jaw and not chew gum or any other hard foods. When my gets really tense and I can't open it all the way, I back off. It needs a break. Usually after a few hours of relaxation, my jaw will be back to normal.
Usually, a popping noise in your temporomandibular joint isn't anything to worry about if it's not causing you any problems. If it does start to cause problems, there are many invasive treatments that you can try. An oral surgeon (one of the nine dental specialties) may be the most knowledgable person to handle these types of problems.

I was just browsing through some of your older articles, and I saw this one. I have crepitus on both sides of my jaw. It started on the right side, but the left side pops now also, though not as severely. I used to be a gum chewing addict but I rarely, if ever, chew now because I worry about exacerbating the crepitus. I'm glad to know it's fairly common and not something to be overly concerned with.
Hi, I'm 13 year old girl and I have bad habit of popping my knuckles. I can practically pop every part in my body; my wrist, my fingers, my elbow, my back, my neck, my knee, my toes, my ankles, even my jaw! I know that popping is not good, but I can't help it. It feels good popping my jaw but I'm worried that some day my jaw will get loose and fall off. What happens to the bone in my jaw when I crack it?
Is this related to TMJ?
I have a 10 year old that recently told me his jaw is popping and grinding when he opens his mouth, it doesnt have to be wide just opening it happens. Should i take him to the dentist or doctor?
Hi! When I open my mouth, my lower jaw shifts to the right and there is a popping from the left side. I am really bothered by this, even though it doesnt pain much. Is there any way to correct this problem, how long should it take to go away? Please help!
The exact same thing happens to me as well, I was just wondering if you have found anything to solve it?
Hey Tom, my mouth started making a clicking noise when I open it really wide.It just started happening today.I previously had braces and now am wearing a retainer.I don't experience any pain but I am worried.
hi this zach
ever time i eat food
my jaw get pain
under tooth
it wont let me eat
i will take asprain
help out
i can take my fringer where the pain at
it hurts bad
idk why
i cant firquire this
never done this before
five days ago,pain starts in my right jaw with pop sound bt nw pain has gone bt pop sound still comes.what to do to correct it?
My problem was I would clench my jaw all the time when i realised it was a problem i stopped doing it and 5 days latter the popping has stopped. Maybe you are doing this? I had no idea that I did until my jaw started popping
My daughter is 5 yrs old. Whenever she yawns, her jaw joint tends to click and move in wobbly sort of way in order to shut. Her paed told us not to worry (three years ago) that this will correct itself.
Please advise, should we seek a specialist's opinion?
Hi. About six months ago, I started noticing that when I speak, there is a clicking, crackling noise. It seems to get worse as the day progresses. Other people cannot hear it. Also, during this time, my teeth started to ache and my face hurts. Some days are better than others. When I experience this discomfort, I notice that I can't talk as well or clearly. Both my dentist and an oral surgeon say I have TMJ. I used to grind my teeth at night, but haven't done that for years, but I do find myself clenching. I really don't think I do it in my sleep since, when I wake up, I usually don't have the pain or the noise when I speak. I was told to wear a night guard and have been given a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory, none of which have helped much.
I also have had, for quite some time, crepitus noises in my neck. I'm wondering if the crepitus has worked its way up into my jaw, and if this could be an arthritis issue rather than the TMJ. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm not sure what type of doctor to go to or where to go from here. It's driving me nuts. Any suggestions, thanks.
Hi Folks,
My problems started when I was 24 years old.. when my wisdom teeth grew and prevented me from closing my mouth I did not seem to understand what was happening at the time and tried to eat and close my mouth as I thought that I had to adjust to my new teeth. It is only years later that I realise that I have damaged the left jaw joint by tying to eat by making my jaw close when it was in pain. After 2-3 weeks after the teeth came through I had the 4 wisdom teeth reomoved as I had a locked jaw.
I am now 50 years and the past 2 years I ave suffered terrible pain in my left ear area and was wrongly diagnosed with just an inflammed ear. I kept asking my specialist why my ear was inflammed and there we just comments like .. "just allergies"... which I believed was rubbish as the pain was too severe for an allergy. After various visits to chiropractors and doctors, with no definite diagnosis.. I eventually visited my dentist and he told me my jaw was dislocated. After virtually a 25yr existence with the condition I am now in agony and await NHS Orthondist unit in UK for help.
My symptons are severe pain at back of ear, a feeling like sciatica down my face, neck and shoulders, scalp pain and a pain so severe that it feels like it is in the bones of my skull. I have always had a slight click in my jaw and because I managed to deal with slight pain in my head, ignored it for years as I was able to carry on without too much trouble. Quite often I just thought I suffered bad headaches, but I have now read that I may have a disc displacement, but await to see if UK NHS health services can help me. One problem is that NHS has long waiting lists for even urgent cases.. so I have to wait now to receive help. Meanwhile I am trying to eat and go to work and feel like I am death's door with increased pain and no brief interludes of relief from pain. All the pain killers just seem like water on a duck's back. Anyway painkillers only mask the real problem and I feel that the problem is definitely mechanical and that inflammation is the result of a malfunctioning joint. TMJ is similar to the pain of a slipped disc in your back as I have endured that too. However it is worse as the pain is in the head area, which makes it difficult to think and concentrate, thus affecting your whole life immensely.
TMJ is not a yuppy's disease .. It is real and has a devasting effect on an individual, when years of increased pain without much relief is endured. It is good that the medical profession now recognise this as a real issue for some people and that many new research projects are occuring around the world in order to discover a proper cure. I never believed in my wildest dreams that I would be suffering such a strange condition that affects you 24/7. We use our jaw and related muscles and tendons for eating, talking, swallowing, smiling and I am sure for other things that I am not aware of. It is a difficult joint to rest as we use it so regularly and unlike a bad tooth or appendix it is not something we can remove to rid ourselves of its torturing pain.
So if you hear of anyone trying to eat with a painful jaw soon after their wisdom teeth arrive.. please help the person , by telling them to go straight away to their dentist for immediate help as they may avoid the terrible dehibilating condition of tmj, which is a devil to get rid of.
I await my treatment in hope for a cure.
I empathise with all who are going through severe tmj.
Regards, Susan
Since 2-3 months, my left jaw clicks when i open the mouth widely, i dont have any other problem but sometime its irritating & sometime i dont feel to open my mouth widely...
please suggest, should i see dentist for this or do we have any other solution without seeing doc?
My 7 year old son keeps clicking his jaw on purpose as he says he likes doing it and after reading the above I'm seriously worried if he continues he will have problems in the future. He also clicks his fingers, ankles and anything else he can find to click, will this cause problems?
Many thanks
I have an 8 year old son who starte doing this a few months ago as well. It started with the neck cracking then jaw cracking and his leg etc. It has been 3 months and he says he can't stop. I was wondering how your son is doing. My son also got ezcema (dry skin) the same time he started doing this cracking stuff.
A couple months ago I started to have a LOT of pain in my left jaw. It seems to be mostly concentrated in my TMJ area. But the pain often spreads through my upper and lower teeth on the left half of my mouth, and the left half of my jawbone feels like I got hit with a sledgehammer. Sometimes my jaw pain is accompanied by a deep earache in my left ear (Like someone is stabbing my ear drum) and/or a pain in my left temple like I'm being stabbed with an ice pick. Also, when whatever this is starts acting up, my teeth on the left side start to feel like they're crowding (And I do already have minor crowding. My dentist said something along the lines of my jaw is too small for my mouth so my teeth have crowded and I have a seriously bad overbite. When I bite down all the way, you can barely see 10% of my bottom teeth). I've noticed it's aggravated by chewing on the left side of my mouth or sucking really hard on a straw (like a milkshake). It's uncomfortable to open my mouth wide because my jaw starts to get stiff, but I can still force it open all the way (I try to avoid that though), but there's not really a pop or click or any of that. It's only popped two or three times when I yawned really big, but that's it. I have read that malocclusions (like my overbite) can contribute to TMJ as well as my other jaw issues my dentist described. Do you think this could be a Temporomandibular Disorder? I can't really get to a dentist (my usual dentist at my dad's isn't open when I'm at his house, and my mom just can't be bothered to make it a priority because she doesn't feel it's worth the money for an exam), but I get this pain at least three times a day, usually more, and I'm constantly wolfing down Ibuprofen and hogging the ice packs in the house. How serious do you think this is?
hello i am 17 and started noticing when i open my mouth all most all the way they are a small pop on the left side of my jaw is this tmj? it dose not hurt and i don't have any other symptoms what else could it be?
In the morning after waking up, opening my mouth I will experience a popping/cracking sound. Once it happens it goes away.
When I was a child I must have had a mild form of OCD with regards to this, because I just *had* to crack my jaw. Once I did it it went away for a while. If I wasn't able to crack it at first, I kept at it until I "found the spot". Same thing with my ears, strangely enough. Yeah, I can pop something in my ears by pulling the bottom of my ear back and up in just the right way. Ugh.
Anyways, I don't get it during the day anymore. It's only when I wake up, or after a period of being tense, that I get this thing, on both jaws.
Interesting you note the possibility of OCD as a child. My son stopped cracking his jaw. He now kicks/twitches his foot every once and awhile. He is a pretty normal kid except for this occasional odd habit.
Wow, I've had this all my life (as far back as I can remember) and didn't think anything of it, ie never realised it was a recognised condition until now. The right hand side of my jaw clicks/pops twice when both opening and closing (once when partially opened/closed and once when fully opened and closed.) It causes some pain and discomfort once in a while when my jaw can lock up and for a while can't get passed the second click when opening. This corrects itself after some time, usually no longer than a half hour to an hour.
Thanks for the information.
I've always wondered why my jaw popped, and if there was a name for the condition.
My jaw pops when i open my jaw wide and quickly, -for example when yawning- either on one side or sometimes both sides. When it pops it seems like a pressure has been lifted under my ear(s) that i didn't realize was there, and when i close my jaw again there's a sort of squelching sound.
Sometimes, although rarely, i can feel the irritating numbing pressure under my ear and the only way to eliminate it is to deliberately pop my jaw.
This has been going on for years and hasn't effected my daily life other than be a nuisance.
Hey-a, I never had TMJ up until 3 and a half years ago. After highschool graduation I broke my jaw-hinge area while biking. Ever since I've had to deal with pretty much excruciating pain every night. My family-doctor claims I must go through Massage-treatment, expensive medication, or risky surgery if I am to ever treat and live with this pain properly..
What other things can I do to ensure relief for this pain that isn't any of these or simply "take a break from using your jaw"??
Thanks for the article. I have wondered what that sound is for 40+ years. My pop is something that I can "force" to happen and can make it very loud, audible to the outside world. Its always been more of a "party trick" sort of thing. It's never hurt and sqidges my daughter out bad... Which is about the only reason I do it. I've never found anyone that could tell me what it was. Thank you.
Hi, i dnt know if i have tmj, there's an accident happen to me and they have to forcely open my mouth after that i hear clicking sound when i widely open my mouth. Before i dnt hear that sound. I consulted a dentist and she said braces can fix this, is it right?
I am 13 years old and every time I open and/or close my mouth, there is a clicking sound. I know thats what you talked about in the article above, but it is really irritating me. I can't avoid clicking it, ever time I eat it clicks, when i yawn and do anything which involves me opening my mouth. To me it seems loud, and other people said they can hear it to, and they said it was very loud. But I can't not click it. I'm worried that it will affect me in the future. (It is every time that I open and close my mouth.) Help me please.
Hi, I just had a filling done yesterday (top right). This morning I tried eating cereal but my jaw kept popping everytime I chewed and it hurt. I'm paranoid now thinking it might be dislocated but read on other sites that it's normal. Is this normal? If so, how long will it last? (My jaw broke once in 2007 btw)
Hi, I'm a 14 year old girl (pardon my English, I'm Dutch), and I have overbite, so my lower jaw is too small in proportion to my upper jaw. (I'm having suurgery for this, still don't know when) And about 2 days ago, I noticed a grating sound in the left side of my jaw, and (rarely) a popping sound in the right side. This happens whenever I open my jaw for about 1-2 cm. I don't experience any pain though, and I can open my jaw completely. What can I do? Is it bad?
I do have braces for about a year now, and when I open my mouth it cracks but when I keep moving my jaw ( like talking or biting) it won't make a grating sound. but when I close my mouth for too long, it does start making that sound again.
Hello I'm 20/f , medical student.
Sir, last year I got my right lower 1st premolarextracted as a part of my orthodontic treatment due to frostbite and excess overcrowding.
Last month I had my exams. I have a habit of revising by whispering things to myself. I noticed a clicking sound on right side of my jaw during this time.
I forgot all about it after my exams.
Some 7-9 days back, I experienced pain and tenderness on Below left mandible..it started as mild one in the morning and aggravated by night. N completely relieved the next morning.
The pain has reappeared today as a mild one again.
What do you think I'm having? I'm really worried.

Sure, your heart is in that lovely liberal place. Even so, you'd like to get away from the "Occupy" hoi-poloi soiling the streets. No problem! Just join the luxury-liner liberals of The Nation magazine on their upcoming Caribbean cruise--assuming you have up several thousand bucks [alcohol not included] for you and the lefty you love to share a cabin!
Was watching MSNBC last night, when up popped a Nation commercial. After the standard stuff ragging on the "toxic nonsense from the right," suddenly a cruise commercial broke out. Yes, you can sail with Katrina vanden Heuvel, Van Jones and other leftist luminaries aboard a luxury Holland America liner! Video and more luxury details after the jump!
From the promo material linked at The Nation's cruise website:
Sure, you support the 99%. But why not do so from the comfort of your luxury cabin, surrounded by your fellow liberal 1%ers? Reserve now!

Some information on the Smallfly and things from the new catalog.
Found here: http://spyderco.com/forums/showthrea...t=25171&page=2
Time moves on. Products come and go. 'tis the way.
I would like to point out that the entire catalog was Joyce's baby. She and Olive did a great job from conception to press checks.
The New Ladybug is a synthesis of the old Ladybug blade, with a larger hole and the Jester handle.
Kopas are too popular to put in the catalog. We only make 600 pcs of each handle and they are usually sold out before production, so a flyer works better and disappoints fewer customers.
The smallfly is still in engineering. But will make it into production.
There are also a number of items that didn't have delivery dates yet, so they were not put into the catalog. They'll be added to the mid year suppliment.

on a spyderco folder based on a traditional chokwe (african) design:
I'll try to get the one you sent shot and added to the thread.
The folding design that I penned used a negative angle handle, curved downward for more control. I also moved the spine peak back slightly to acccomodate the opening hole. I used three holes in the handle. A longer handle is necessary to cover the longer blade.
My thought was a compression lock with two full liners. Strong and easy to clean. I kept the blade length the same 5" as the original. I see that is now in question. Ideally, it would have an FRN scale to keep the cost down and to put a jungle scene or map of Zambia as texture. I guess we could use G-10 for a test run.
I would be interested in views on size, thickness, as well as any other opinions.
Hadn't thought of a whistle, but we did it on the Assist and there is plenty of room, but it would have to be on an FRN scale.
H1 has to be hollow ground. flat grinds are not possible at this time.
Thanx again for the piece. I've spent a good deal of time studying the Chokwe.

Spent the afternoon with these dudes for Nylon and lemme tell you what, Foster the People are so much more than Pumped Up Kicks. We ate watermelon, drank coffee, sat in the west side sun, and talked travel, technology, and coming of age. Oh, and their new album, Supermodel. Good job guys, give yourselves a hand.
Can we talk about Kathryn Hahn for a second? (Can we also talk about the killer red JUMPSUIT she is wearing on this red carpet?!) Because she doesn't get nearly enough credit or attention for how fucking awesome she is. I have to admit, she flew under my radar for a long time too, despite hilarious turns in Anchorman and Step Brothers, but when I saw her play the world's best bitch in Our Idiot Brother, I knew I was in love. Then she popped up on Parks and Recreation, the perfect foil for Leslie Knope, and knocked my socks off as the discontent Silver Lake mom who invites a sex worker to live with her family in Jill Soloway's Sundance darling Afternoon Delight. Seriously, she is so, so good in this movie. And lucky for us, it just hit the Internets and the Blu-rays. Which gave me the opportunity to chat with the actress for DAME. And ooooh boy, was she a delight. An afternoon delight, literally (we spoke over lunch while she chomped Nut Thins and a Hail to the Kale salad from Yummy). I hope I run into her around town so I can get one of those bear hugs she loves to give.]]>
Yesterday I chatted with Zoe Kazan about her charming new film, The Pretty One, for Elle.com and we really got into it: imposter syndrome, pop culture's reductionist view of women, the biological challenges of lady parts, and, um, the mad genius of Lindsay Lohan. For real. This one's a keeper.]]>
For a long time Palm Springs was my go-to getaway from L.A. But I've newly fallen head over heels for a town just an hour and a half northwest, nestled in the Topatopa mountains. I wrote all about my cheating heart on Daily Candy.

Hanging out with Blossom tomorrow. For work. Because the dream of the '90s is alive in my life.]]>
Spent my afternoon shooting the shit with Sarah Hyland, the most well-known "teenager" on primetime TV (Modern Family, helloooo!) for Aritzia. We talked guilt over still-hung Christmas decorations, playing a teen without really being one, and her new movie, which involves vampires, the director of Mean Girls, and the screenwriter of Heathers. In other words, SLAM DUNK.

This week's interview for Elle.com has me revisiting my obsession with rollergirl and fuh-REAK-ing out about the Flowers in the Attic remake hitting TV in January. Impeccable mid-century style, evil mothers, incest—Heather Graham and I have SO much to talk about.
Beyonce just dropped a surprise album making this the best Friday the 13th in the history of the world and I wrote about it for DAME. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch the video for "Drunk in Love" on a loop till the sun comes up.
There are so many awesome things overloading my Pocket app right now, it seems only right to share a few faves here. Starting with Joanna Fateman's essay from the forthcoming Riot Grrrl Collection book along with nostalgia-inducing excerpts over at Paper. Also:
Lynn Hirschberg's this-is-the-way-I-want-to-write-a-profile profile of Michael Douglas for New York's cover,
The Annotated Wisdom of Amy Poehler because, duh,
West Elm's lovely interview with my dear friend/uber-talented photographer Laure,
and every Mad Men recap on Vulture now that I finally caught up.
When I was a kid, Judy Blume taught me all about being a girl. I've loved her ever since and have therefore been eagerly awaiting the release of Tiger Eyes, the very first movie to ever be based on one of Blume's novels. (As a junior higher, Tiger Eyes destroyed me—feeling all of the feelings!) So lucky me that this week's interview was with Willa Holland, the lovely star. We talked L.A. sunshine, Chef Boyardee, Chloe boots, and bringing Blume to life. Link to come!

Around the Corner with John McGivern - #108 -- Brady Street
July 19, 2012
[Original Airdate: March 8, 2012] You're going to love this episode, because everyone loves Brady Street! John Gurda explains how this historic neighborhood developed into a "live local" haven with extremely loyal residents. Nowhere else will you find longstanding icons Glorioso's, Sciortino's, Roman Coin, and Wolski's next door to newcomers like Thai-namite, Hybrid and Dry Hootch. At Zaffiro's and Cempazuchi's, John could have spent the whole episode eating, but he shops and visits, too, because the unique people and places on Brady Street can't be found anywhere else. He explores vintage goods at Dragon Fly, Art Smart Dart Mart, Fabrizio Capelli Salon, Saints and Sinners Tattoo Co.; and, talks with Father Tim at Three Holy Women. What a place! It all fits on Brady Street because it is "Wide Open". (8 of 13) Episode #108

Jason Aldean's Night Train is also ascendant -- one-stepping it from #6 to #5.

Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" keeps rocketing up the radio charts, moving from #15 to #11. But it appears listeners are beginning to tire of Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise." While the song is #1 among country listeners, it fell this week from #18 to #31 -- just above Randy Houser's "How Country Feels," at #32. Justin Moore's "Til My Last Day," which was the top country song of 2012, also lost some ground at the start of 2013 -- dipping from #22 to #19.

Vols, Vandy and Vitale....live blog
Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl wasn't expecting ESPN's Dick Vitale to tweet about a private phone conversation that took place earlier this week.
So Pearl was caught off guard to learn that Vitale tweeted Friday: "Spoke to Bruce Pearl -Vols r the Jekyl - Hyde of Hoops - agrees if it were not 4 the equity he has built he would be fired 4 lying to NCAA!"
Pearl's reaction: "He said what?"
Pearl said Vitale called to talk about the game, discussing the matchup with Vanderbilt.
When Vitale brought up the pending NCAA investigation, Pearl said he politely went along with it.
"I didn't realize it was an interview,'' Pearl said. "But I guess they can use everything you say.''
Maybe they will wake up in the second half...otherwise I will be asleep.
Pearl needs to "wise-up", and watch to whom he says what, and when. That big mouth is going to land him in more-and-more hot water.
Vitale is a snake in the grass watch out for him.

Riverside voters should start getting their June 4 ballots in the mail in the next few weeks, so there's still time to find out about who's running for council seats in wards 3 and 6. (The choice is easy for residents of wards 2 and 4, since only the incumbents are running.)
Upcoming candidate forums start with one at noon today (Friday, April 19) for Ward 6 candidates, sponsored by the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce and held at Parkview Community Hospital. It's a lunch event with an entry fee, but they usually have a few seats in the back for those who just want to hear the candidates. If you plan to attend, call the chamber at 951-683-7100 or click this link to register online.
The chamber's forum for Ward 3 candidates is at noon Wednesday, April 24, at Riverside Medical Clinic, 7117 Brockton Ave.
On Thursday, April 25, the Raincross Group is holding forums at Cal Baptist University for all candidates — and it will include time for the two unopposed incumbents, Ward 2 Councilman Andy Melendrez and Ward 4 Councilman Paul Davis, to answer a moderator's questions. Ward 3 candidates start at 11 a.m., Ward 6 is at 1:30 p.m. Stay tuned for information on when and where to view video of the forums. The Press-Enterprise is a co-sponsor of this event.
*Post updated to add this forum, which I inadvertently left out earlier: Thursday, May 9, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., a forum for Ward 6 candidates will be held in English and Spanish. The event will be at the Arlanza Community Garden, 8700 Cypress Ave., and is sponsored by the Child Leader Project. Call 951-733-6013 for information.
And finally, Riverside's League of Women Voters will hold a Ward 3 candidates' forum on May 15. Info at this link. (Theirs for Ward 6 was last week.)
In earlier blog posts, I included short videos of candidates saying whatever they wanted in 15 seconds. Ward 3 videos are here, and Ward 6 at this link.

The case is very good, but the content is well diversified and you do not get a complete set of any of the keys. Whether in 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 steps are missing. I would have preferred to buy a kit with a full set of 1/4 and a full 3/8 than this. The biggest problem is that if you buy loose measures which are lacking in the case there is no additional space for storage. Returned and bought a set of hardware (and most complete)

Bought this as a gift for my son who is just starting out on his own. Already used it and saved himself a bundle by replacing a belt on his own following instructions found on the internet. Well worth the investment!

I have a small family A/C & heating business. I needed a tool set that would work on the various jobs that I encounter every day. However, I also need ed a set that I could use on the 21 year old service truck that I drive. On top of that, I needed a tool set that could fit in the small place behind my drivers seat (no more room on the truck). This set provides all the tools I need in a compact hard case.

I love the layout and variety in this tools set. It is exactly what I expected and more. I am very happy with this purchase.

fantastic set, not much different from the other versions, but note this one is made in china and appears to be slightly inferior in quality to the made in USA set that is sold by ******. There are minor differences in build quality, but in terms of functionality, likely not a huge difference in functionality, and both sets are guaranteed for life.

Good set of tools. Although I already have a full set in my home garage, this 165 pc set was just what I needed to toss in the truck, "just in case". Has most of what I need, all in one handy carrying case.

A Lawrence Township police officer yesterday morning (Sunday, June 3) rescued a family of ducklings from a storm drain. Three hours later, a different officer removed a snake from a township home.
In the grand scheme of everything that township police do on a daily basis, these two actions weren't that big a deal.
They're the kinds of things that cops in Lawrence Township do all the time. But they're also the kinds of things that most often go unnoticed by the public and unreported by the media.
There certainly won't be an official police department news release about these two incidents; the only reason I found out about them was because I caught a few snippets of conversation about them over one of the police scanners in my home as my family and I went about our Sunday routine.
But as I drove out to the two incidents (I didn't get there in time to get photos of the duckling rescue), it dawned on me that these actions are important because they show Lawrence Township cops still care.
It would have been so easy for these officers to stand back and say that they weren't equipped or trained to the climb down into a dirty storm drain to retrieve some baby ducks or corral a less-than-cooperative snake – particularly when, in the latter case, it was unclear at the time if the reptile was poisonous or not (it was later determined not to be).
Despite an environment where morale in the township police department is reportedly at an all-time low – with and a – these officers yesterday didn't hesitate to act. They jumped right in and did what needed to be done.
The duckling rescue took place about 11 a.m. yesterday in the parking lot of the David's Bridal store in the 3300 block of Brunswick Pike (Route 1).
An employee, having gone outside for a smoking break, heard an unusual amount of "quacking" and spotted an adult duck standing at the edge of storm drain in the parking lot. Wandering over to see what was going on, the employee spotted about 15 ducklings at the bottom of the drain, unable to get out, according to police Sgt. Tim Drew.
The employee called police and Officer Matthew Grossi was sent to investigate. The adult duck, believed to be the mother of the ducklings, remained nearby while Grossi tried to remove the metal grate that covered the storm drain.
At first, the grate wouldn't budge. But Grossi made a second attempt to remove the heavy grate using a Halligan bar – a pry tool, typically used by firefighters, that Lawrence Township police carry in their patrol cars. Aided by a bystander, Grossi was able to lift the grate and slide it clear of the drain.
Grossi then carefully climbed down into the hole and picked up the ducklings one at a time, placing them into a cardboard box that someone brought out from one of the nearby businesses.
The box of ducklings was then carried away from the parking lot to a landscaped area on the side of the David's Bridal store where they were released and reunited with their mother, Drew said. Grossi, meanwhile, replaced the grate on the drain and returned to the police station to change into a clean uniform.
Later yesterday, shortly before 2 p.m., residents of a home on Fountayne Lane called police to report that they had found a snake in their garage. Officer Richard Laird III was dispatched.
The snake – black and about three feet long – was carefully "coaxed" from the garage by Laird and the homeowner using a snow shovel and a leaf rake. Once outside, the snake slithered to the side lawn of the home and refused to be led any further.
Retrieving from his patrol car a pole snare that police typically use to capture stray dogs, Laird managed to grab hold of the snake. As the angry reptile twisted and turned and tried to strike at the pole, Laird placed it into an empty water ice bucket provided by the homeowner.
The lid was quickly secured. A few moments later, Laird learned from a police dispatcher that – based on his description of the snake – animal control officials did not believe ithe reptile to be poisonous and that it was likely a black racer snake.
Laird later released the snake back into the wild away from any residences.
Again, these two incidents are hardly major news.
Lawrence Township police regularly deal with such situations when animal control officials are not available. From what I've been told, township cops over the years have removed bats, raccoons, skunks and other creatures from people's homes, rounded up loose cows and lamas, and directed bears away from residential neighborhoods.
But with the layoffs of several officers set to take effect in August, and with additional layoffs possible as the township struggles to solve its budget problems, it is likely that the police will not be able to provide such services in the future.
Indeed, , township Police Chief Daniel Posluszny warned that any reduction in police department staffing could mean that some crimes will go uninvestigated.
Those statics showed that overall crime in Lawrence Township went up 24 percent in 2011 in comparison to 2010, and that there was a 41 percent increase in burglaries from 2010 to 2011. A lot of those burglaries took place during summer months.
The weather is getting warmer and, in recent weeks, there have been several new burglaries, including a .
What will happen during the remainder of 2012 is anyone's guess.
While I am certain that the men and women of the Lawrence Township Police Department will, as always, do their best to protect us, I'm pretty sure that it's going to be a lot harder for them to do that job with less officers on the force.
With that in mind, we should all do our part to help keep our community safe. Help the cops by keeping your eyes open and reporting any suspicious activity you see. Protect yourself by keeping your doors and windows locked and your valuables out of sight.

Sometimes Charles Krauthammer is just so very succinct:
In a radio interview that aired Monday on Univision, President Obama chided Latinos who "sit out the election instead of saying, 'We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.' "…
This from a president who won't even use "enemies" to describe an Iranian regime that is helping kill U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This from a man who rose to prominence thunderously declaring that we were not blue states or red states, not black America or white America or Latino America – but the United States of America.
This is how the great post-partisan, post-racial, New Politics presidency ends – not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with a desperate election-eve plea for ethnic retribution.

The Baylor Bears suffered their first loss of the season earlier this week when they fell at Phog Allen against the Kanasas Jayhawks. Perry Jones III and Co. will look to avenge that loss on Saturday afternoon, though, as they face off against a fellow top-five ranked team in the Missouri Tigers at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN in a game set to determine the top of the Big 12 standings.
The Bears entered this week ranked third in the nation, but that ranking could slip quite a bit if they suffer back-to-back losses after winning the first 17 games of the season. The odds are probably in favor f Baylor getting back on the winning track, however, as they're playing at home in Waco with a talented team that includes Jones, Quincy Acy, Pierre Jackson and Quincy Miller.
Mizzou hasn't been quite as lauded this season, but there's little doubt that the team led by Marcus Denmon and Kim English has what it takes to standout in the Big 12. The Tigers enter with the same 17-1 record as Baylor, but they've rebounded with three 10-plus point victories since dropping their lone game of the season to the Kansas State Wildcats earlier this month.

Natalie + Simon are just really really really lovely. When I first met Natalie at a bridal market back in March I remember thinking, "I really hope she books me!" Simply because she was so unbelievably nice! Our engagement shoot took place a couple of months ag0 (yep, I'm a bit behind with blogging!). We met at my favourite location out in the hills of the east, and again I found myself in my favorite paddock at my favourite time of day *insert big smile here* I had such a fun and relaxed photo-shoot with these two… they are the loveliest, most easy-going couple and I'm sure their wedding day will be an unbelievable amount of fun! Nat and Simon are getting married at the stunning Yering Station next February and I feel very lucky to be sharing in their day.
I also thought I should let you know that Natalie is the owner of this fantastic business called Designer Bums. She makes gorgeous cloth nappies for bubs out of bright and fun designer fabrics! If you have a baby or know anyone with babies you should really check out her website! (They would make beautiful gifts!)
Thanks again guys! I had such a fun afternoon and I'm really looking forward to your wedding day!

Henry Cuellar on Principles & Values
Democratic Representative (TX-28)
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 AU scores as follows:
Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom. AU is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
Americans United is a national organization with members in all 50 states. We are headquartered in Washington, D.C., and led by the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director. AU has more than 75,000 members from all over the country. They include people from all walks of life and from various faith communities, as well as those who profess no particular faith. We are funded by donations from our members and others who support church-state separation. We do not seek, nor would we accept, government funding.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) is an informal group of 18 members of Congress of Hispanic descent. The Caucus is dedicated to voicing and advancing, through the legislative process, issues affecting Hispanic Americans in the US and the insular areas. The CHC was founded in December 1976 as a legislative service organization of the US House. Today, the CHC is organized as a congressional member organization, governed under the Rules of Congress and comprised solely of Members of the US Congress.
Although every issue that affects the quality of life of Americans is of concern to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, there are national and international issues that have a particular impact on the Hispanic community. The function of the Caucus is to serve as a forum for the Hispanic Members of Congress to coalesce around a collective legislative agenda. In addition to covering legislative action, the CHC also monitors Executive and Judicial policies that affect Hispanics.

Since June of 2008, the One Vibration network (then known as Divine Illumination) has been a place where people of all walks of life, from all over the world come together to express their views, share information on local and world events, discuss current affairs, share a laugh and help and support each other in times of sickness and tragedy.
OV's global ranking* is (at the time of this article) 293,614 - putting it in the top 0.1% of the most popular websites in the world - not bad for a comparatively small network with less than 5000 members!
Thankyou ALL - for making this possible!
To help celebrate this achievement, we in Admin have been thinking about making a One Vibration Movie and the concensus is that it should be about the MEMBERS - as YOU all are what make up this wonderful family.
To achieve this, we are asking members to send in their video clips, pictures, messages - testimonials - experiences - whatever - and we will then compile a movie from this material, adding special effects or commentaries to enhance and embellish your content where possible. The final movie will be posted on YouTube.
The format is not important, as we can handle just about any - but good resolution and clear sound would be preferable, for obvious reasons. Length is unimportant - if you feel you have a lot to say, just say it all or if you want to just express a quick message or thought, that is fine too. If you wish to promote a particular cause or awaken people to something you feel of importance, that is fine too, but please note:
We will NOT accept:

WOW ! The Math on this page is wayyyyyy tooooooooooooo deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppp fer me. Nice colors.
wow how fabulous.. the ranking is amazing.. I would love to contribute some images/paintings...LOVE XO
Well, if a site that is the 297,614th most popular is now the 271,446th most popular, then this is an increase in popularity and hence, rating.
Please explain how 297,614 to 271,446 is an increase?
Actually, that is a good point, Rick - yes, we will accept these - and I will add that to the blog above - THANKYOU!
this sounds absolutely awesome, are you only accepting video clips? what about simply pictures that could be put to sound and dialogue? or only video? i will definately try to find time to make something for this project.

Hopkins-Calzaghe official? (In Vegas April 12?), 1 Topic Merged Here

Hopkins-Calzaghe in Vegas on April 12th?
"I believe the date the 11th or the 12th of April. I know I'm just looking to make it happen. I don't believe anything is signed yet. I got a letter from Arnold Joseph and Richard Schaeffer saying that we have an oral agreement. I could say oral agreements have stood up for the last five years of my career. They expressed to me that we have a deal and I'm expecting an official confirmation on that no later than Monday. I was hoping to hear something yesterday or today, but I'm expecting things to be wrapped up the middle of next week the latest," stated light heavyweight king Bernard Hopkins in a recent interview.
Hopkins revealed that the fight would likely take place in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay or the MGM Grand and he hopes that HBO will be willing to do another 24/7 series for the fight. "I think maybe with a 24/7 if everybody is willing to pitch in, that's HBO, Golden Boy and Frank Warren, if they're willing to pitch in because that ain't free, but I think it would do everybody justice, not only in our bank accounts, but I think the fans will get to see the behind the scenes back and forth that goes on with the game. Again, this ain't a salespitch to convince anybody, I'm just saying that this is one of them kind of fights where I think 24/7 is needed to uplift what's already there. Coming off the heels of the big blockbuster that happened on December 8 one month later, I think it would be great."
Hopkins also revealed that he's been training lightly for the past two or three months, but he's planning on beginning serious training for the fight in about two or three weeks. Along with Brother Nasseem and Freddie Roach, Hopkins is considering reuniting with Mackie Shillstone. "I didn't use him for the Winky Wright for one reason or the other, but for this fight I see that his biggest weapon is punches in bunches and trust me, from what I've experienced with the Tarver fight with Mackie Shilstone, he got me to the point where I was throwing so many punches per round that it was unbelievable."
When asked whether or not Calzaghe would be one of the toughest southpaws he's ever faced, Hopkins emphatically stated, "Oh, No. No. No. Absolutely not. The best southpaw I ever fought in terms of being tricky is John David Jackson." In fact, Hopkins went so far as to say that Calzaghe was at the bottom of the list of southpaws he's faced, behind the likes of Robert Allen, Antonio Tarver and Winky Wright.

IMO Kessler at 168 is better than Winky at 170, Oscar and Tito at 160 and also Tarver at 175.
I disagree. IMO, Winky, Oscar AND Tito are all better fighters, skill-wise, than Kessler. The one advantage Kessler probably enjoys over them all, at 168, is punching power. But I would say Winky and Oscar are more complete fighters, hell maybe even Tito., and that P4P Tito is the mure pure puncher. That said, Kessler was done after 6-7 rounds. He had nothing left in the gas tank, something none of the aforementioned three have ever been in their respective primes or in their comfort zones. What's more, his foot movement and balance were for shit. He stood stright up and down, and most times square.
Like you said, time will tell. Styles make fights, and that is the only thing, at this point in Hopkins' career, that keeps Joe in the game. Cause boxingwise, skill set for skill set, Joe Calzage does not do ANYTHING better than Bernard Hopkins. The only reason Joe gets a "W" at this point, and it is definitely possible, is if he just "out actives" Bernard. We've already seen with the Taylor fights, that the judges will award inneffective aggression if you are the fighter perceived to have more money in you for the industry to squeeze out, so it is distinctly possible that we could see Joe awarded a victory for those wack ass wining 5-7 punch hook-to-the body flurries that we saw versus Kessler. Very possible. But on the other side of that fucking coin, this is Bernard Hopkins we're talking about here. When the fuck has ANYBODY landed that kind of shit 5-7 times in a row? Roy Jones wasn't landing any of that shit and Roy was at LEAST...at LEAST as fast, and much more of an ackward guy and better fighter at the time he and Bernard fought.
I can envision Hopkins smothering, tieing up, and roughing up Joe all night long. I could imagine a stinker of a fight to the common guy too.. I can see Hopkins winning a decicion. I could also see Hopkins losing a decision in a fight where he comes out unmarked too. Who knows. We'll see. At a current +180, I laid down some money on Bernard. If that number increases to make Hopkins a bigger underdog, which I doubt - ESPECIALLY as he talks leading up to the fight and people see and hear him - then I will lay some more on him. If that number comes in, I may lay some on Joe.
I favor Hopkins to win this fight. I just think he has the more complete game. That does not mean he wins.

Daniel Greenfield
February 13, 2013
Every job has a minimum requirement. The absolute very least that anyone can do without being considered a complete and utter failure.
The minimum requirement for a Commander-in-Chief is to stick around when an American diplomatic mission is under fire. Obama flunked even this minimal requirement by going to sleep and then flying off for a fundraiser in Vegas.
The minimum requirement for a Secretary of State is to at least pretend to care why such an attack took place. Hillary Clinton failed that minimum requirement by declaring that it didn't matter why the attack happened.
The minimum requirement for a Vice President is to avoid becoming a national embarrassment. Biden has failed miserably at that.
The minimum requirement for the country's leading environmentalist is to refrain from selling a television news network created to promote an environmental message to one of the world's leading petro-tyrannies. And Al Gore failed there.
Obama, Clinton, Biden and Gore couldn't even meet the lowest possible standard for their positions, but that's not a problem in a Democrat Party that no longer has any standards.
America's newest Secretary of State, John Kerry, was wrong about every historical development since he became involved in politics. If there was a matter of international politics that Kerry got involved in, he was bound to come in on the wrong side.
Kerry picked the Viet Cong over America and picked the Sandinistas over the Contras. He shoveled billions of dollars in foreign aid into Pakistan while it was giving sanctuary to Osama bin Laden and claimed that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, a sponsor of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, was "an essential player in bringing peace and stability to the region."
Senator John Kerry had vouched for the sincerity and credibility of everyone from Madame Binh to Daniel Ortega to Mohammed Morsi and for a career record somewhere between stupidity and treason; he was rewarded by being put in charge of implementing the foreign policy of the United States. But then again, Hillary Clinton had received that same job for losing to Barack Obama in the primaries.
While the Bush Administration had appointed qualified men and women to head up the country's diplomatic efforts, Obama appointed senators who had tried and failed to become president as some sort of bizarre consolation prize.
Kerry joins a Cabinet full of washed-up and scandal-prone figures like Attorney General Eric Holder, whose career should have ended after his role in the Clinton Administration's Marc Rich pardon scandal, and Arne Duncan, who was rewarded for his failure to reform Chicago schools with the highest education job in the country. Then there's Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius who violated the Hatch Act by campaigning at a government event.
Eric Holder bears the distinction of being blasted by Congress in two separate sets of hearings a decade apart. In the waning days of the Clinton Administration, Deputy Attorney General Holder lusted so badly for the Attorney General's job that he was instrumental in covering up the pardon of Marc Rich. The House Government Reform Committee called Holder's conduct "unconscionable".
A decade later, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held Attorney General Holder in contempt for his cover-up of the Fast and Furious gun-running operation that led to hundreds of deaths. That made Holder the first sitting cabinet member to be held in criminal contempt of Congress and in another administration that might have led to his dismissal. During the Bush Administration, cabinet members had resigned for much less, but the Democrats had given up even maintaining the pretense of being a law-abiding party.
There is hardly anything that a Democrat can do wrong that will force him to resign, barring the combination of severe mental breakdowns and outrageous criminality, as in the cases of Congressman David Wu and Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. Racist jokes, like those made by Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden about Indian convenience store owners, go virtually unnoticed, as do bizarre remarks indicative of mental illness or a frightening degree of ignorance.
Congressman Hank Johnson used a House Armed Services Committee hearing to ask an admiral whether Guam might tip over if too many Marines land there. Congresswoman Shirley Jackson Lee delivered a speech on how well North Vietnam and South Vietnam were getting along. Johnson followed that up by calling for a new constitutional amendment to control free speech and Jackson did her part by accusing the Tea Party of being the new KKK and demanding that black people's names be represented in the naming scheme for hurricanes.
And Johnson and Jackson were not even the worst members of the Congressional Black Caucus. That particular honor belongs to Congressman Alcee Hastings who bears the unique distinction of being one of only eight Federal officials in American history to be impeached and removed from office. But that hardly slowed down Hastings who ran for Congress and has been sitting there for twenty years and racking up even more scandals.
Hastings however faces stiff competition from Congresswoman Maxine Waters who was chosen to be the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee despite helping her husband's bank obtain millions in bailout money. But Waters still lags behind Barney Frank, the former ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, whose reward for letting his home be used as a brothel was being given oversight over the nation's financial services industry.
Ethics investigations have become routine and toothless. The Democrat Party has accepted corruption as the new normal. Like Captain Renault in Casablanca, it hardly even bothers putting on a show of outrage when its corruption is brought out into the light.
The Democrat Party has become comfortable in its disgrace. It no longer even bothers to deny the charges; instead like Obama or Clinton it shrugs off each charge and asks what difference does it make?
Hillary Clinton's question at the Benghazi hearing gets right to the root of the problem with the Democrat Party. For her, what happened at Benghazi made no difference because she knew that she could not and would not be held accountable for it. That arrogant attitude has been the public face of the Obama Administration in response to every scandal.
The threats of Congressional investigations have become impotent in the face of a Government-Media complex blocking reporting on the latest scandal and leaving the Democrat Party free to be as corrupt as it wants to be.

Judge Bars Classified Documents
Posted Jul 3, 2007 12:53 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A federal judge has blocked a New York Times lawsuit that sought classified documents related to the government's warrantless wiretapping program.
Judge Richard Berman of Manhattan ruled that the Departments of Defense and Justice were entitled to withhold the material under exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act, the Washington Post reports.
Berman ruled only on classified documents. He will consider other documents after reviewing additional filings.

Dorothy was right, though.
The Get You Goin' Track
Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks
Admittedly I've been listening to a lot of the Last Shadow Puppets recently and admittedly I'm a bigger fan of the Arctics' B-side material than I am of their album cuts, but this pounder from last year's Favourite Worst Nightmare is easily among their very best work. I think Turner works well against the lush '60s Bond-style arrangements the Last Shadow Puppets staked their debut on, but his voice is also a perfect fit for these tracks which runneth over with immediacy. Sure, it's a Franz Ferdinand-esque call to arms and while it's hard to call it fantastically original, the fact that it's such a pulsating call to arms to go back home once in awhile always strikes me as entertaining. Of course, maybe it makes your Monday at the office that much longer. C'est la vie.

Information and Resources
Analgesic Nephropathy
An analgesic (AN-ul-JEE-zik) is any medicine intended to kill pain. Over-the-counter analgesics (medicines bought without a prescription) include aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and others. These drugs present no danger for most people when taken in the recommended dosage. But some conditions make taking even these common painkillers dangerous for the kidneys. Also, taking one or a combination of these drugs regularly over a long period of time may increase the risk for kidney problems. Most drugs that can cause kidney damage are the ones that are excreted only through the kidneys.
Case reports have attributed incidents of acute kidney failure to the use of painkillers, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. The patients in these reports had risk factors such as systemic lupus erythematosus, advanced age, chronic renal conditions, or a recent binge of alcohol consumption. These cases involved a single dose in some instances and never more than 10 days of analgesic use. Acute kidney failure requires emergency dialysis to clean the blood. But normal kidney function often returns after the emergency is over.

A different kind of problem can result from taking painkillers every day for several years. Analgesic nephropathy is a chronic kidney disease that gradually leads to end-stage renal disease and the permanent need for dialysis or a kidney transplant to restore renal function.
The painkillers that combine two or more analgesics (for example, aspirin and acetaminophen together) with caffeine or codeine are most likely to damage the kidneys. These mixtures are often sold as powders. Single analgesics (e.g., aspirin alone) have not been found to cause kidney damage.
Patients with conditions that put them at risk for acute kidney failure should check with their doctors before taking any medicine. People who take painkillers on a regular basis should check with their doctors to make sure they are not hurting their kidneys. The doctor may be able to recommend a safer alternative.

TD Bank at Roche Brother's Plaza was robbed Thursday for the third time in three months.
Police Chief Allen Krajcik said police responded to a 911 call at approximately 5:30 Thursday night reporting a bank robbery.
Krajcik said that on arrival, police learned that a black male, approximately 6 feet tall wearing a hooded sweatshirt passed a note to a teller demanding money.
An undisclosed amount of money was given to the suspect, Krajcik said, adding that the suspect fled on foot and no weapon was shown. Nobody was injured in the incident.
The incident is under investigation by Easton Sgt. Michael Fox, Krajcik said.
The same bank has been robbed twice before in recent months: once in late October and once in November. The suspect for October's bank robbery was arrested by Stoughton Police for a string of robberies in the area.

I have a season ticket plan for the Golden State Warriors but can't go to all of the games. Since my ticket plan (all home games) is paid for already, I'm not interested in trying to get money for my tickets. Plus, it is only ONE, get it, ONE seat and those are difficult to sell anyway. My seat is in Section 120 Row 16, as in 16 rows from the floor.
Anyone who gets a ticket from me will have to accept an e-mail as I'm not schlepping over to Will Call. The first game I cannot make is Monday, October 18th against the Portland Trailblazers.
Most Friday games, I may have scheduling conflicts with. But, if I know in advance who may interested in ONE ticket, I can just go down my list
Anyone who responds and asks for two tickets to the same game as if I have two tickets to give away is instantly and permanently eliminated.
Anyone who asks for the seat number of said free ticket is also instantly and permanently eliminated.
SF Giants and 49er fans are automatically disqualified. And don't try to do a fast one as I have a nose for whiner and gnat fans.
FYI. I usually know well in advance or sometimes as late as the morning of.... i.e. I wake up and it's raining.
So let me know if you are seriously interested. Anynoe who accepts a ticket and fails to go will be severely beaten with a wet spaghetti at my first opportunity, as I HATE wasted tickets. I can find out if my ticket was used on the website.
I hope this is clear enough.
