This Hefeweizen was a little darker than other Hefeweizen's that I have had before. It had a strong orange appearance and contained a lot of sediment. Overall its flavor was not as sweet as I have experienced with past Hefeweizens. Strong wheat and citrus aroma with a slight banana aftertaste.

I like this beer. It's not the very best hefe I've had, but not everyone can win the superbowl every year either.
Aroma and taste are really nice, banana heavy, cloves and wheat, yeast and spices.
It's pretty thick like a hefe should be, but also remains highly drinkable and enjoyable.
This is number two of my sampling of Trader Joe's beers. A trip there yielded me 15 new beers to try! (first time I'd been there in this city). The hardest decision is which one to try next!

I got this beer in a mystery pack from Trader Joe's (you have to buy one if you never have). This was the first beer I pulled out.
A-Since I am drinking this out of the bottle I reviewed the design. Decent artwork on the beer but I am not overly in love with it.
S-The smell is inviting and pretty strong for a wheat beer.
T-The taste is delicious and reminds me a summer day.
M-A little weak, but we are talking about wheat beer.
O-This beer was just okay with me but did not quite hit the mark I was hoping for.

3.33/5 rDev -6.2%
Appearance: Pours golden-orange, a touch dull if I had to say. Head dissipates to .5 cm quickly and sits at that level.
Smell: Pleasant, typical Hefeweizen smell. Slight clove, leans banana, but not overwhelming. Probably a middle temperature fermentation.
Taste: Like some others mentioned, there is a slight taste of something metallic or coppery. Also, I'd say it is a tad bitter compared to better examples of the style. Otherwise, this has decent taste, which is true-to-style.
Mouth-feel: Good. It is a pretty much as you'd expect from the style. Lingering due to heavier mouthfeel than a lager for instance.
Overall: For the price, it is not bad. If you're looking for the best example of a Hefeweizen, you'd do yourself a disservice by choosing this one. If you're looking for something that is decent and priced well, this one is fine. It's kind if like wanting pizza from your favorite pizza place and settling for Papa John's. It's fine, but makes me wish I were having a better one.

Ugh. I was given a big pack of Trader Joes beer, and this one was a universal downer among my friends and I. There is a weird metallic taste here, in every bottle, that makes you feel like the beer is skunked and/or contaminated. But I have tried it multiple times over a year or so, and it has remained metallic and...odd tasting. I would steer clear of this one.

12 oz bottle at fridge temp poured into a big tulip. Best before: 3/19/14
Poured out with most of the yeast, pours a real hazy lighter orange color. Big billowy head off the pour that fades to a 1/4inch retentive layer. Light spotty lace.
Pretty traditional hefe aroma. Mostly banana with some creaminess and a bit of yeast spice.
Similar to the aroma, lots of banana, bits of clove and yeasty spice, almost slightly phenolic. Slightly tangy wheat. A bit of an almost off metallic flavor at times.
Quite creamy, light in body.
A decent, easy drinking hefe, but I'd rather go for an authentic German hefe before this one.

3.41/5 rDev -3.9%
12oz bottle poured into a Shaker pint glass. Most of the sediment stayed behind despite a vigorous pour. Best before 02/05/14.
Appearance: Hazy to slightly cloudy amber-orange. Thin off white head. Little to no lacing.
Smell: Mild cloves, hint of yeast, some bananas. Something sweet under it all. Bubblegum aroma very noticeable right after pouring.
Taste: Bananas, wheat grain, with a sweet and dry finish - the sweetness takes on bubblegum as the beer warms up.
Mouthfeel: Highly carbonated - fizzy. Chewy at the same time. Odd.
Overall / Drinkability: Ho-hum. I've had better Hefeweizens. I think I'm completely neutral about this beer. I neither like it nor dislike it but I'll grant that it was interesting to drink. Nice looking beer, but just okay in the taste and smell department. Maybe with the right food it would shine. I probably won't get again.

I am an inmate at Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) in Chowchilla, California. In April 2013, I and another individual were falsely accused of sexual assault and placed in Administrative Segregation (Ad-Seg) immediately. I was forced to face the loss of my job assignment, property, good living quarters, placement and status in groups and organizations.
July 14, 2012
The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a "corporation" whose objective is to profit. In California alone they pay up to $20,000 more per solitary confinement unit than for a general population unit. This keeps officers working, which is why they become willing pawns who have an interest in oppressing prisoners.

Back in the hot seat again. It's a sensation that is impossible to explain to someone who has never driven a racing car.
When I exited the pit lane for my first lap around Monza; my first lap as a Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup driver and my first lap in a Porsche GT3 Cup Car in over seven months, my heart skipped a beat.
For starters, I didn't remember it being that bloody quick! But, as the legendary Jackie Stewart is quoted as saying, once you learn to ride a bicycle, you never forget. It's just the finer details that change.
But if I can rewind for a minute, the Supercup is far more than bigger fields; harder, closer racing and noisier cars. My first impression of the pit complex was a perfect example of Porsche's commitment to the king of its one-make cups.
As a kiwi embarking on my first event out of NZ, I didn't really know what to expect, but one thing I didn't anticipate was a full transporter, Porsche's top race engineer, three mechanics, a beautifully presented race car with two in car cameras, a brand new custom race suit and all the latest set up equipment and gizmos…all for me.
This was the perfect introduction into the big time of Porsche racing, and I was going to savour every moment of it.
The free practice session went pretty well. Of a massive 32 car field (the biggest in over five seasons for the Supercup) I finished up in 23rd place, 1.4 seconds off the leading car. The position was irrelevant to me, but the time difference was, and we weren't all that far away!
Rusty was my summary of the session. But hey, it had been a while. There were a couple of occasions where I was exiting a corner and said to myself "shit, I missed that bloody apex again!"
But now that I was back on the bike, it all came back to me pretty quickly. Qualifying went pretty well and I finished up in 20th spot, shaving some time off the gap to the quickest cars, but not by as much as I would have liked. At least my competitive nature hadn't waned in my time off!
Setup wise, we'd only made a couple of minor changes for qualifying, but we felt that to have a good race car, we should revert back to our original configuration for the race.
Lining up on the Formula One grid was incredible. Even though we weren't the draw card of the event, the number of fans filling the stands around Monza took me by surprise. And it was made even more special by the passion and enthusiasm of the Italian fans. The atmosphere was electric.
Once the race got underway though, this was the last thing on my mind. Right from the instant the five red lights went out, the race was so intense that I hardly had time to think about breathing.
It didn't settle down until about the mid-way point of the race, where I found myself on the back of the leading train that stretched from first place back to me, but with cars passing each other at every corner the field spread and compressed regularly.
The five-car bunch I was in including some big names of Porsche racing – former Supercup champions and Factory Drivers for instance – and I learnt a lot just by mixing it with these guys.
They didn't give and inch and were happy to bump and grind on one another, and yet I still felt safe around them. They still seemed to have a relative amount of respect for one-another.
Thankfully I placed myself and the car in the right position nine times out of ten, and when I crossed the line in 13th place there wasn't a mark on the car, which was more than could be said for a lot of the competition out there!
As my debut in the world's most competitive one-makes cup, I was over the moon with the result. My laptime was within 4/10ths of a second of the quickest lap, and I finished only nine seconds shy of race winner Nick Tandy. Given the fact that this was my first race in 18 months, I couldn't have asked for much more.
Mentally and physically I felt terrific. I was switched on up top, and well up to scratch fitness-wise too – much more so than in the past. Racing drivers are elite athletes and many people forget that. We are constantly improving our bodies and minds and I can certainly vouch for that on a personal level.
So, my preparations and efforts in the quieter months have had an immediate effect for me, which is really positive for the future!
The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup has my two thumbs up, and for my development as a racing driver it's now my championship of choice for 2011!

Jack London was born a working-class, fatherless San Franciscan in 1876. In his youth, he was a boundlessly energetic adventurer on the bustling west coast—by and by playing the role of hobo, sailor, and oyster pirate. From his vantage point at the margins of Gilded Age America, he witnessed such iniquity and abuses that he became a life-long socialist and advocate for reform. His adventures in the American wilderness and underworld informed his fiction, and his writing came to captivate the nation as it defined his era. Within his own short lifetime, London became the most popular, and bestselling, author of his generation.
By adulthood he had matured into the iconic American author of such still-universally loved books as The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and Sea Wolf, but in spite of his success, he was at war with himself. The highest-paid writer in America, he was constantly broke. Famous as he was for conjuring the brutality of nature in story after story and novel after novel, upon the actual deaths of his favorite animals he would dissolve into helpless tears. Sick, angry, and disillusioned, after a short, breathless life, he passed away at age forty, but he left behind him a glorious literary legacy.
Award-winning author James L. Haley explores the forgotten Jack London—a man bristling with ideas, whose passion for social justice roared until the day he died. In Wolf, Haley returns Jack London to his proper place in the American pantheon, resurrecting the author of White Fang in his full fire and glory.

"[A] valuable London biography. It surpasses Irving Stone's 1938 Sailor on Horseback, giving us a well-delineated picture of a singular, complicated figure…These days we have little sense of the literary glory that was Jack London. Thanks to James Haley's zeal, the author of [the fiercely imaginative Before Adam], not just the man of The Call of the Wild, is before us again." (Wall Street Journal)
"James L. Haley's sharply focused biography recaptures the breadth of London's achievements and the intricacies of his personality…We can be grateful to Haley for restoring London to us in all his passionate conviction and flawed humanity." (Washington Post)
"[A] gripping narrative…Haley understands what longtime scholars of London have often failed to see: that London had multiple lives, and explored his own identities in his fiction." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"A life of bright flames to ashes..."
The biographer and his subject are a superb match, as is the choice of the narrator. I had no idea that Jack London did so much with his life across a spectrum of so many different contexts of bold and varied adventures and daunting personal challenges. I'm equally intrigued how today's world so parallels as to the need for others to take the baton of his "worker passions." Here's content for many fine novels that amazingly was actually compressed into one formidable life.
"Excellent Book"
Five years with Audible and my first review.
This book is excellent. It is exciting as a novel and I learned a great deal about Jack London.
The best part about this experience was the narration by Bronson Pinchot. His performance brought the book to life. I am only sorry he has a just a few books he has narrated.
Overall, I was very sad for the book to end. What a short but exciting life London lived. He crammed 4 or 5 lives in one short lifetime, and each is brought to life by the author and narrator. Do yourself a favor and get this.
"Wolf The Lives of Jack London"
This is a brilliant biography. Haley provides full and thoughful cultural and historical context for his examination of London's life and works. Wolf: The Lives of Jack London gave me a new appreciation of London and his contributions to American life and letters.
"Intersting and well presented"
Really enjoyed this biography. It had a nice, moving line, which I thought seemed to reflect that life of the man well. Never not-interesting.
The narrator was a good fit for the gritty nature of Jack London, created by his life experiences, and the interwoven thread of sensitivity that any real artist is born with.

Cheap Gaming Headset (Mac)
I'm writing this post because I am searching for a cheap gaming headset (obviously :p ) with integrated mic.
It would be great if you could help me find one as I searched and found nearly anything responding to my needs.
I'm asking for cheap as I have a limited budget for this, however, I'm not asking for a "go-to-trash-after-one-month" device, it shall be good quality.

BOARDMAN, Ohio - After more than three years on the drawing board, construction will begin this summer on a project to eliminate a major traffic bottleneck in Boardman.
Another accident Friday afternoon tied up traffic near the off ramp for I-680 South and Route 224. It's been a high accident area as drivers wanting to make a left turn have to cross two lanes of moving traffic.
But now a plan to end the congestion is moving forward.
Ken Sympson is the project manager for the Eastgate Regional Council of Governments.
"The plan itself consists of the relocation of the southbound exit ramp on 680 to 224. They're going to put a tee intersection to 224 and signalize that," Sympson said.
The current ramp that merges traffic onto 224 will be eliminated and the new ramp will end at the signal which will control only westbound traffic on 224.
Access to 680 northbound will also be made easier for westbound traffic coming from Poland with an exclusive right lane for the northbound entrance ramp.
Boardman Fire Chief George Brown is hopeful that the changes will reduce the number of accidents.
"When we do have an emergency there the crew's safety is our foremost concern in working at the scene because the traffic continues to flow," Brown said.
Poland resident Todd Smith says during peak traffic hours it's sometimes impossible to go where you want to go. "Everyone is trying to get over one way or the other so it's just been bad," Smith said.
Businesses have heard many customer complaints about the bottleneck and welcome the project. The construction it's self will bring congestion.
"But 224 will remain open at least with one lane at all times," Sympson said.
Work will begin this summer on the 5.7 million dollar project.

Eagles open new ballpark with 20-2 win
Sunday, February 01, 2004
Requires Adobe Flash
Fort Myers, FL - Playing their first game of the season in front of 762 buzzing fans at FGCU's new state of the art baseball complex, the Eagles overpowered Ed Waters College 20-2. In what was a true team effort, standout performances were put in by sophomore catcher Jason Cooper, freshman leftfielder Travis Parrott, and senior first baseman Chris Brown. Cooper caught an excellent game behind the plate and fired the first shot for the Eagles with a three run blast off the leftfield light pole giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead in the first inning. He finished the day going 3-4 from the plate while scoring four runs and batting in another three. Playing in his first collegiate game, Parrott went 3-5 from the plate, knocked in four runs, and also stole a base. Brown, building off his strong junior campaign, had a solid day at the plate with two hits, two runs scored, two walks, and two runs batted in. The Eagles cruised for most of the game and went into the eighth inning with a comfortable 10-2 lead, but continued to pour it on with a 10 run eighth capped by Adam Masino's grand slam to left centerfield. FGCU held the Tigers to only two runs behind four solid pitching performances from sophomore Jason Short, sophomore Chris Hassen, junior Billy Phillips, and sophomore closer Chris Cahill. Short got the win after striking out 5 and giving up no earned runs in his four innings of work. Hassen and Phillips both worked 2 innings a piece before handing it over to Cahill for the ninth. As a whole the Eagle pitchers struck out 12 Tiger hitters while only giving up eight hits. Antonio Rivers and Chris Matthews led the way for the Tigers with two hits a piece. Picking up the loss for Ed Waters was starter Anthony George. The Eagles (1-0) will play a doubleheader vs Clearwater Christian on Thursday starting at 12:30 pm at the FGCU Baseball Complex.

Moving Quotes Online
Full Service Pick Up & Deliveries. Great Prices From Excellent BBB Pro...
Whether you are moving into an apartment or into a new home, there are plenty of expenses involved in moving, such as closing costs on a home or security and pet deposits for an apartment. One way to help keep those expenses as low as possible is by getting moving quotes online. With moving quotes online you can quickly and easily find the company that will give you the best price to get your belongings from here to there.
The first step for receiving moving quotes online is filling out a form with your contact information. The companies will gather basic information about your move, such as where you are starting and where you are moving to and what size dwelling you have. They will also gather your e-mail address and phone number. Most of the time the phone number is only to confirm a scheduled move, but some companies will make sales calls.
After confirming that you are a serious customer, you will then fill out the second part of the form, which is an inventory form. You will have to list all the large furniture, appliances, televisions and other heavy items that you want moved.
Some items are included in the base price of the move, which includes the items the moving company generally expects to move with a 1-bedroom apartment, a 3-bedroom house and so on. Other items, such as a full-length mirror, can carry an additional charge, and some items they may not move at all for liability reasons. A moving company may not want to carry a highly breakable Fabergé egg, for example.
Filling out the inventory form accurately will help assure that the moving quote you got online matches the actual. Forgetting important information when you fill out the online form can result in an unpleasant surprise on your moving day. If you receive a moving quote online but forget to list a queen-size bed in your guest bedroom on the furniture check list, there will be an additional charge to move it. Many companies also have additional charges for two-story houses or upper floor apartments, so be sure to note this on your form also.
Finally, keep a printed copy of your quote with you on moving day. It can help save some potential disagreements during the move. By correctly utilizing your moving quotes online, you can eliminate some of the stress that comes with a move.

Chapter 6: Salvage0 Reviews
"Why did you save me?"
"Are you all right?" she heard Vergil ask her.
She looked up at him again, but he wasn't looking at her.
"Um...yes." She began to stand up only to be surprised when he grabbed her elbow to help her up. She looked up at him. "Why did you save me?"
Honestly, Vergil didn't have an answer to that. As he looked down at her delicate face and frame, he was somehow reminded of his mother. She was petite as well and seemed delicate, but everyone who knew her never saw her as weak or incapable of protecting herself.
And yet, demons had taken the kind and loving woman's life away.
Perhaps that was why he had saved her twice now. She reminded him of Eva and he knew that deep down she wasn't weak at all. But there was something else, wasn't there? Vergil shook his head before turning to her. "I have to go now." He began to walk away, but when he glanced back at her he couldn't help but feel guilty about leaving her like this. Exhaling, he looked at her and said, "Come with me."
Danielle didn't miss the hint of guilt in his voice as she followed him out of the resteraunt. They walked silently through the dark streets, the only time he said something was when he asked her where she lived. When they finally reached her apartment building, she looked up at it, unsure.
Vergil noticed a bit of fear in her eyes. "Is something wrong?"
"I don't want to be alone."
Taken aback by her response, he walked over to her and looked down into her hazel eyes. In them, he saw her unsurity and anxiety. Of course an innocent mortal like her would be afraid. She wasn't used to the way demons were. But then, he remembered the demon magic she had used on him.
"Are you a demon?"
"What about the magic?"
"Oh," Danielle said, looking down at her feet. She reminded Vergil of a small child who had just been caught sneaking sweets before eating her dinner. "Please don't tell anyone about that."
"I won't. But will you tell me why you have that ability?"
She looked up at him, her eyes narrowing in speculation. "Well, why were you able to brush away like nothing? No one can do that."
Damn, he thought. "I'm not just anyone," he spoke, saying the first thing that came to mind.
"You're not human, are you?"
Vergil turned away.
"I knew it!" she said in an "a-ha!" manner. "I've known it the second you saved me in the alley." She sobered. "Wait, if you're not human then...what are you?"
He said in a low voice, "I'm a demon."
Danielle stiffened then took a step back. "A demon? Really?"
"Half-demon?" Then a thought occurred to her. "No...i-it can't be. If you're half then you're...Sparda's son?"
"You know of Sparda?" It seemed so strange to him that a woman like her would know of the Legendary Demon Swordsman.
"Yes." She brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, drawing Vergil's attention to her face. "I'm descended from a group of humans who fought alongside him. Sparda gave them a bit of his demonic magic so that they wouldn't be so overpowered by the demons. The powers were passed down through their children. I inherited them from my father."
"It would make sense that my father would do something as noble as that."
Suddenly, Danielle looked up at him and smiled. "It's kinda lucky of me to have met the Savior's son himself."
Vergil froze at the sight she made. Her arms were covered in her own blood, but she could still smile so warmly.
Who was this strange woman?
Unsure of what else to do, Vergil turned and began to walk away.
Vergil stopped and looked at her over his shoulder.
"Will I see you again?"
"Perhaps," was all he said before he kept walking into the night.

"As film exhibition in North America crowds itself ever more narrowly into predictable commercial fodder for an undemanding audience, we applaud those brave, free spirits who still hold faith with the unlimited potential of the cinema." - Roger
Fred Zinnemann's "The Day of the Jackal" (1973) is a great example of how a film can do a good job of creating tension and involving the viewer by sticking with the most basic cinematic elements. We have the benefit of comparing it with a remake ("Jackal," 1997) that went on the opposite direction and by wrongly doing everything that its predecessor got right, making he merits of the earlier version all the more evident. Both are distinctive reflections of how studios perceived audience tastes in their respective time periods. They are as different as two movies based on the same source might be and can hardly be classified in the same genre. The later entry is a brainless action flick; the original is a "thriller" in every sense of the word.
"If you think this movie is mediocre, why have you written so much about it?" That's a comment I sometimes get -- and although I understand where it's coming from, I don't think it makes sense if you stop to think about it for two seconds. I usually respond by saying that I don't see any contradiction there at all. Who hasn't encountered a movie that, afterwards, is more interesting to talk about than it was to actually sit through? Who would argue that the only movies worth analyzing and arguing about are those you think are successful? When I was 18, one of my college film professors told us something I've never forgotten -- that you can often learn as much (or more) about film from a bad movie as you can from a good one.
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky raises this same issue in a round-table conversation on "The Dark Knight Rises" at MUBI.com that takes a course similar to the ones we've been having here at Scanners:
... I'd be lying if I said that I don't derive pleasure from trying to crack it and figure out what exactly makes it frustrating or dull. You gotta give credit where credit is due: even when Nolan makes a mediocre film... it's at least fun to talk about. You can't say that about many filmmakers -- but, then again, it would be even better if the movie was as fun to watch as it is to discuss.
My feelings precisely. One more thing, though, before I get back to this MUBI confab, and that's the matter of tone and attribution of motive -- not to the movie or the characters in it, but to those who take part in the discussion. First, as I said previously, I have nothing worth adding to what's already been written about the shootings in Aurora, CO -- and I've avoided reading most of it because, as Dave Cullen wrote in last Sunday's New York Times, almost everything we think we know about the killer and even the circumstances of the incident itself, is wrong.
"Gotham's time has come. Like Constantinople or Rome before it, the city has become a breeding ground for suffering and injustice. It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die. This is the most important function of the League of Shadows. It is one we've performed for centuries. Gotham... must be destroyed." -- Ra's al Ghul (Ken Watanabe), "Batman Begins" (2005)
"Over the ages our weapons have grown more sophisticated. With Gotham we tried a new one: economics.... We are back to finish the job. And this time no misguided idealists will get in the way. Like your father, you lack the courage to do all that is necessary. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them... and stab them in the heart." -- Ra's al Ghul (Liam Neeson), "Batman Begins" (2005)
"You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these civilized people, they'll eat each other." -- The Joker (Heath Ledger), "The Dark Knight" (2008)
"Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country." -- Maximilien Robespierre, 1794
"I am Gotham's reckoning... I'm necessary evil.... Gotham is beyond saving and must be allowed to die." -- Bane (Tom Hardy), echoing his former master in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012)

(You've seen "The Dark Knight Rises" by now, right? Good. I'm going to discuss a few things that I would consider spoilers, albeit mild ones, and then get to some pretty big spoilers later on, before which I will offer an additional warning, just in case.)
- - - - -
The villains of Christopher Nolan's "Batman" movies don't think very highly of "ordinary citizens" (now popularly referred to as "the 99 percent"), whom they tend to view as mindless savages, slaves to fear who'll claw one another and the city of Gotham to shreds at the slightest provocation. The films themselves sometimes confirm that view (Gothamites get a little panicky in "The Dark Knight" when they fear that Batman is not keeping the crime rate down) and sometimes don't (they choose not to blow themselves up in the Joker's intricately planned ferry experiment). This isn't really a theme that's developed in the movies, but like most of the political and social references, it's something that's... there.

"I realize that most of the turning points in my career were brought about by others. My life has largely happened to me without any conscious plan. I was an indifferent student except at subjects that interested me, and those I followed beyond the classroom, stealing time from others I should have been studying. I was no good at math beyond algebra. I flunked French four times in college. I had no patience for memorization, but I could easily remember words I responded to. In college a chart of my grades resembled a mountain range. My first real newspaper job came when my best friend's father hired me to cover high school sports for the local daily. In college a friend told me I must join him in publishing an alternative weekly and then left it in my hands. That led to the Daily Illini, and that in turn led to the Chicago Sun-Times, where I have worked ever since 1966. I became the movie critic six months later through no premeditation, when the job was offered to me out of a clear blue sky."Visit "I was born inside the movie of my life" to read the opening pages from Roger's forthcoming memoir to be published September 13, 2011.
"I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out." - from LIFE ITSELF

Philip Noyce's "The Quiet American" is a tale of lies. It introduces itself as a noir murder mystery, but seamlessly veers into a story of man in love with a dancer, looking for redemption in his twilight.
From there it flows into a love triangle pitting an old frightened Brit (Michael Caine) against a young fearless American (Brendan Fraser). In moments of crisis, the American saves the Brit's life. In a moment of anger, the Brit seems to allow the American's death.

Voter ID law still awaiting approval from Department of Justice
Identification with photo may be required
Local political organizers are split on whether the state's new voter identification law should be approved by the Department of Justice and if it is, whether it will benefit Taylor County and the state.
The new law, which would require voters to present photo identification at the polls, was supposed to take effect Sunday, but it still hasn't received pre-clearance from the Department of Justice.
Texas is one of a select group of states that must get approval from the Department of Justice before election laws are changed so the voting rights of minorities are preserved.
Rich Parsons, director of communication for the Texas secretary of state, said the DOJ requested additional information from the state in mid-November. State officials were given 60 days to respond, but they have not done so yet, Parsons said.
Once the DOJ receives the information from Texas, it will have 60 days to review it and grant or deny pre-clearance, Parsons said. If pre-clearance is given, the state will educate election administrators and the public, and the law will be in effect for the April primary elections.
Joy Ellinger, chairwoman of the Taylor County Republican Party, said the Justice Department should approve the law so voter fraud can be curtailed and prevented.
"We have to show ID on just about anything we do," Ellinger said, citing the requirements to show identification when boarding an airplane, taking out a loan or cashing a check. "Why shouldn't we show ID and prove that we are who we really are when it comes to voting, which is one of the most important acts we can do as an American citizen?"
Ellinger said she has never heard of an instance of voter fraud in Taylor County.
Neither has Ed Conley, chairman of the Taylor County Democratic Party, who says the law is a waste of taxpayer dollars and an effort by conservatives to prevent poor, elderly and disabled voters from casting ballots.
"This is a paranoid attack by the extreme right wing to try and disenfranchise poor people," Conley said, adding he has received a phone call from a concerned resident who is disabled and doesn't have a driver's license.
Mark McKenzie, an attorney and assistant professor of political science at Texas Tech University who studies the intersection of politics and law, said he thought the DOJ probably would not approve Texas' voter ID law — but in the end it will most likely be upheld by courts if Texas fights a denial.
McKenzie said there are two questions at work with the voter ID law: Does the law unconstitutionally discriminate against minorities, and is it the right move from a public policy standpoint?
Constitutionally the law is probably on Texas' side, McKenzie said.
The U.S. Supreme Court already has upheld similar voter ID laws in the past, and Texas was sure to include provisions in its law that would allow residents to obtain free photo identification if they don't already have a driver's license or another valid form of ID.
But the DOJ's decisions are more politically-motivated and will take into account the public policy aspect of the Texas law, McKenzie said.
Very little evidence has been seen of widespread voter fraud in Texas, so there are questions about whether the law is even necessary, McKenzie said. Also, minorities and low-income residents are less likely to have photo IDs, and those subgroups generally are more likely to vote for Democrats.
"It will mean fewer people will vote," McKenzie said. "How many people are going to go through the time and the rigmarole to cast the one ballot? ... The Texas Legislature passed this law in part because they want to help out Republican candidates."
State Sen. Troy Fraser, a Republican from Horseshoe Bay whose district includes Abilene, authored the voter ID bill that passed in the 82nd Legislature. He and other Republicans argued that the law would prevent voter fraud.
"It's important for the integrity of the ballot box," Fraser said. "Under Texas law, it's too easy for people to cheat."
Disabled and elderly Texans still can request and submit mail-in ballots as they always have done, Fraser said. The photo ID requirement only was added to voters who cast ballots in person.
The Texas bill was modeled after laws enacted in Indiana and Georgia, Fraser said. The Indiana law has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, and Georgia's law was given pre-clearance by the Department of Justice.
However the DOJ that approved Georgia's law was under the administration of President Bush, Fraser said.
On Dec. 23 the Justice Department, under President Obama's administration, rejected a South Carolina law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, saying it makes it harder for minorities to cast ballots, according to The Associated Press. It was the first voter ID law to be refused by the Obama administration.
Fraser said he is optimistic the DOJ will approve Texas' law.

[Ed. note: Front-paging this look at previous teams who have done what the Kings have in the postseason.]
[note: I felt with the playoffs over it was time to update this with the Kings' result because I can't get enough of saying that the 2012 LA Kings are STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS. (I also like self-promoting now, so please give my new Kings blog, kingsinhockeywood.blogspot.com a look, thanks)]
So in case anyone is curious, as I was, as to how many teams have ever begun the playoffs with no more than one loss in the first two rounds of the playoffs and how they fare, I did some research.
It turns out that while it hasn't gotten a ton of press, it's a pretty special accomplishment.
Since the NHL went to Best-of-7 format in all four rounds of the playoffs 25 years ago in 1987 only ten teams have opened the playoffs 8-1 in the first two rounds, including this year's Los Angeles Kings. No team has ever swept the two opening rounds.
After the jump you can see how those ten teams fared once they got into the Conference Finals.
4 of the previous 9 won the Stanley Cup, including the first two teams to accomplish the feat, who both happened to be the same team, the 1987 and 1988 Edmonton Oilers. The '88 Oilers in fact went 16-2 in the playoffs that season on their way to the championship (the '87 team went into the Finals with only two losses but got pushed to 7 games by Philadelphia).
The 1994 New York Rangers and 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning both won back-to-back series that went the distance after opening up with only the one loss in their first two series.
Another 3 of the 9 made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final before succumbing to defeat. Those were the 1989 Montreal Canadiens, the 1995 Detroit Red Wings (who had lost only 2 games in the first three rounds before getting swept by New Jersey), and the 2008 Pittsburgh Penguins (who like the '95 Wings entered the Final with only 2 losses, but lost there in six games).
Only 2 of the 9 failed to make it past the Conference Finals. The 1995 Philadelphia Flyers mirrored the run of the Red Wings and fell to the same opponent, though they held on for six games. And the 1998 Buffalo Sabres, the Eastern Conference's 6th seed, and before this year's Kings, the lowest seed to make it through two rounds with only one loss, dropped four of six to the Washington Capitals.
Will the Kings join the likes of Wayne Gretzky's dynastic Oilers and Mark Messier's Rangers of destiny and win the Cup? Or will they be akin to the Canadiens, Red Wings, and Penguins, who all found early success before heartbreaking defeat and ultimate redemption within a few short years when they too raised Lord Stanley's chalice? Or will they burn out and leave us all heartbroken like Dominik Hasek's Sabres and Eric Lindros's Flyers?
Here are the ten teams that have stood on this precipice and the results of their efforts:
(year, team, seed, result)
2012- Los Angeles Kings (West 8; won Cup)
2008- Pittsburgh Penguins (East 2; lost in Final, won the Cup the following season)
2004- Tampa Bay Lightning (East 1; won Cup)
1998- Buffalo Sabres (East 6; lost in Semi-Final, made it back to Finals the following season)
1995- Philadelphia Flyers (East 1; lost in Semi-Final, made it back to Finals two seasons later)
1995- Detroit Red Wings (West 1; lost in Final, won the Cup twice in next three years and four times in next 13)
1994- New York Rangers (East 1; won Cup)
1989- Montreal Canadiens (Adams 1; lost in Final, won Cup four seasons later)
1988- Edmonton Oilers (Smythe 2; won Cup)
1987- Edmonton Oilers (Smythe 1; won Cup)
I think it's interesting to note that of the teams who won the Cup only Edmonton had any more success in subsequent seasons (but of course had to lose the greatest player of all time too). The Rangers quickly descended back into irrelevancy. The Lightning did likewise.
The teams who failed that season seemed to have more success for the most part. The Red Wings became the strongest franchise in recent memory and won four of the next 12 Stanley Cups. The Canadiens won the Cup in '93 (boo). The Sabres made it back to the Finals only one season later. The Flyers got back two years later, and while they haven't won a Cup, they have remained a contender almost every season for over a decade. And of course, the Penguins won the Cup one season later.
I think that whatever happens in the next month, the future is going to be very bright for this very special Kings team.

A really drunk girl gives a blowjob in front of a lot of people
Posted on September 16, 2010 | No Comments
She's totally drunk and doesn't give a fuck. It is amazing what drunk girls will do. She's working his cock and doesn't care who sees it. This isn't a party at home. These are a bunch of drunk hot girls in the vip section of a club. That place where the rich and famous go. Where all the wild stuff happens. Most people would probably take a girl like her home. Why do that when she's willing to suck your dick there? I don't know if I could get it up with all those people watching. Though, I certainly wouldn't tell her to stop sucking my dick. Even if I was totally limp, I would enjoy her lips around it.

An editorial from the Diocese of Michigan about a previous T19 entry, and our response
It wasn't until clicking the links on a posting at Stand Firm earlier today that we discovered that the Diocese of Michigan has posted an editorial about TitusOneNine's post of a picture from the Diocese of Michigan's convention.
Here's what the Diocese of Michigan wrote:
There was a spate of criticism—unfounded, I found—from a corner of the conservative blogosphere about a snapshot of our diocesan convention that showed the placard of the eight MDGs behind the altar during the Eucharist. If you must investigate further, you'll might find the discussion HERE. If the blog thread is removed, better judgment may have slipped in upon them before this commentary did.
The bloggers misinterpreted our intention—as gently suggested online by a priest in our diocese—thinking we had replaced the crucifix with the MDGs. The rambling comment section devolves to less-than-insightful rants on Karl Marx and the United Nations. But the kernel of concern is worth reflecting upon.
The millennium development goals are not canon; they are invitations into deeper relationships, deeper understanding. In order to embrace the mdgs—or rather be embraced by them—we must prepare ourselves not to march triumphantly but to walk humbly. We must truly empty ourselves of those things that lead us to feel haughty. Like a Pharisee. With a blog.
Even though the author, presumably Diocesan Communications Director Herb Gunn, criticizes TitusOneNine in that piece, I don't believe he contacted us or left a comment about his concerns, so this is the first we'd heard from the Diocese of Michigan. (It is possible of course that Mr. Gunn contacted Kendall without my knowing.) As I made clear in the post in question, as one who tries to help Kendall cover the diocesan convention news, I (elfgirl) was responsible for the post, not Kendall. So let me offer a few comments in response.
First, Mr. Gunn confuses "bloggers" and "commenters." He accuses the "bloggers" (that in this case would be me, elfgirl) of saying or intending something we never said or intended. In fact we explicitly stated our intentions several times on the thread itself, and provided many supporting links to further the discussion along the lines of what we had intended.
Secondly, I never claimed the MDG banner was a deliberate replacement for the cross. I made no comment about the intent of the Diocese of Michigan. I merely noted that I found the photo "irresistible" as a striking visual image. In fact, I acknowledged previous comments that the juxtaposition and symbolism was probably unintentional.
We (I) always acknowledged the fact that the actual intent was probably not to have the MDG banner as a reredos, but that the unintended juxtaposition, and the Diocese of Michigan's prominent photo on their convention coverage page, symbolized a larger issue. Unfortunately Mr. Gunn didn't take the time to respond to any of the substantive concerns (about the mission priorities of TEC, not the Diocese of Michigan's convention, per se) raised in the comment thread. Instead he pretty much dismisses the whole entry and caps off his editorial with an insult. The talking past one another continues.
