THG Asks: Should Rex Ryan Be Disciplined Over His Wife's Foot Video?by Free Britney at . Comments
Welcome to THG's new feature, in which two of our celebrity gossip experts debate topical issues in the entertainment world and you decide who wrote the winning argument!
Today, THG Asks: Should Rex Ryan face disciplinary action over his wife's foot fetish video?
YES by Hilton Hater
When Rex signed a contract that pays $3 million a year, he did so with the acknowledgment that he was accepting more than just owner Woody Johnson's money and the task of leading the Jets to their first Super Bowl since 1969.
He was also trading in any semblance of a private life. Ryan coaches in new York, the sports equivalent of Beverly Hills when it comes to tabloid coverage.
He's the face of a franchise. He had to have known this embarrassing video would surface. It was his responsibility to do what he could to remove it.
Not because I care one iota about what Rex Ryan's sex life. But because a coach's job is to motivate, not distract. When Darrelle Revis is answering questions about the pinky toe tickle instead of the zone blitz, something is very wrong.
NO by Free Britney
The mere existence of a Rex Ryan foot fetish video is bizarre, unusual, and enough to cause a tabloid frenzy. At its core, however, it's personal and harmless.
Rex's judgment was awful here. Anything resembling sexual dalliances with Michelle Ryan, a.k.a. "ihaveprettyfeet," should have been kept private - by him.
It's a distraction the Jets don't need as they attempt the difficult feet feat of making and advancing in the AFC playoffs. He should tread (sorry) more carefully.
At the same time, the man did nothing wrong.
So Rex Ryan has a thing for his own wife's feet. Since when does being a sexual freak make you a criminal, a detriment to society or even bad at your job?
In Brett Favre's case, dude allegedly sent pics of his mediocre wang to Jenn Sterger and requested a video of her masturbating. That's harassment. This?
Just a middle-aged couple keeping it HOT!
THG Asks you ... should Rex be disciplined? Who won this argument?
@Free Britney,
This time you supported the winning argument for this debate.
What's ironic about this story is that had Ryan been outed as g a y ( and I think that he's as straight as a laser beam ) instead of the media poking fun at him, it would have immediatelÂy rushed to his defense.
@ THG - Sorry HH, I'm going to have to go along with FreeB on this one for a couple reasons. Saying that Ryan coaches in New York, the sports equivalent of Beverly Hills, might get you some unwanted flack from those Jersey folks. Technically, he coaches in New Jersey. Also, his 'foot thang' is rather mild compared to the Jets 'Head Strenght & Conditioning (sorry... haha) coach (e.g. Sal Alosi vs. Dolphin player Nolan Carroll). Now there has a foot in the wrong place!!! Besides, if THOSE FEET can turn Ryan on, we all need to share a little love :)
Michelle Ryan, who if you probably remember and using her husband's words she is a model, not fashion model but maybe a foot model?? What else don't we know about Mrs. Rex Ryan?

Ph.D. graduation celebration, but complicated...
- a
- adamandeve Mar 28, 2007 03:21 PM
My husband and I are graduating from our Ph.D.s this May. It took almost a decade, so this needs to be a good meal! There are some restrictions when choosing the place, however:
- We are a group of 12, and obviously need reservations. This will be on a Friday.
- 2 of those are kids. I'm trying to convince my sister this is a really bad idea, so hopefully once we locate a baby sitter we'll be 10.
- Although I won't choose the place according to the kids taste, it would be good if there is something they recognize (no need for kid menu, though)
- Because of kids, and because these is a pretty loud group, I would rather stay away from places that are too formal.
- My in-laws will be paying; which is good for obvious reasons, but bad because we'll feel guilty if it is too expensive. So we are trying to stick to places that have significant number of entrees in the twenties. This law can be broken if need be.
- We must stay in Manhattan
- While this is a group that really enjoys food, too funky will be a turn-off. So no WD-50.
- I'm pregnant, so no sushi.
Places that we have considered: Balthazar, but they enforce a set menu for groups that big; Union Square Café and Craft don't sit groups that big.
I'll be very grateful for your help!
Congrats on both the graduation and the new baby!
Landmarc in Tribeca would accomodate a group of that size & a reservation. Certianly is in your price point & it's not formal, but has a nice atmosphere. The food is great, plenty of meat and fish, with a few things more inventive.. The wine list is probably one of the best values in the city since they have a very low markup. They do have a kids menu, if you ask, but you'd never think it was a "kids restaurant." www.landmarc-restaurant.com
Gramercy Tavern has a lovely intimate private dining room. I've been to two private parties there and the food and service are wonderful. The privacy will let your group be loud and festive while the kids can run around a bit. The room is elegant, so it still feels like a really special meal. I believe they will work with you on a set menu so you can stick to a budget and choose something child-friendly. For something less formal/pricey but fun, try Otto (Batali pizza and gelato).
blue ribbon bakery has a private dining room that seats 10-12. we've had private dinners there and they are intimate and delicious!
I think both Landmarc and Gramercy Tavern are great suggestions. Other ones that I can think of with a la carte entrees are at the price range you suggested :
- August
- Hearth
- The Cafe at Country (Carlton Hotel)
- Freeman (even cheaper!)
All of these places have delicious food without being too formal. I think they resemble Union Square Cafe / Craft style which was your original plan. All have pasta dishes which I think are usually kid-friendly (I have yet to meet a kid who does not eat pasta...). I think they are at the right price range (not too expensive yet great to have someone paying for it, if you know what I mean =D) .
Congrats on your graduation!
Crispo has a cute little dining nook that seats around 10-12 and has a large menu, with items that I'm sure would appeal to kids. Reasonably priced too. Or if the weather is nice, there is an outdoor garden area. http://www.crisporestaurant.com/
re: lchang
10 years? Ugh - are you both scientists? I am working on year 8 as we speak... I just had a 30th birthday at Crispo and thought it was a great place to have it. I went with a bunch of people and two of them are very picky and there was no problem at all. Keep us posted on your decision. Are you totally opposed to set menus even if they have generous choice options??
re: missjeanne
My only concern with set menus is the price hike.
Landmarc would be my first choice as well - I've been there with large and varied groups and everyone always enjoys it - but I'm pretty sure they only seat up to 10 people.
I also +1 the private room at Blue Ribbon Bakery.
You could also try the back room at Tia Pol if you wanted to do tapas, but there is a charge for the room.
And congratulations on getting your doctorates!
re: snaporaz
Thanks all for the responses. Landmarc indeed only seats 10, but they told me I might be able to beg and get them to do 12. I love the Blue Ribbon Bakery- I was hoping to try a new place (especially given that we aren't paying :) ) but that can definitively be a good route. I'll explore the other options and let you know which way we go!
re: adamandeve
Not to push it, but landmarc also has a kid menu..
Steak houses could be a good bet if you're in to that. they're accustomed to accommodating large groups (bachelor parties, business dinners and all) without forcing prix-fixe. and the sides (mac and cheese, potatoes, onion ring type things) should make things easy for the kids. i'm partial to the spacious and somewhat stylish dylan prime myself... which has the added bonus of fondue which kids should enjoy.... but i'm sure most hounds would rally behind other steakhouses. And, $20's will be tricky unless there's a fair amount of chicken and salmon eating in the mix. http://www.dylanprime.com/

Bus crashes into Boston overpass, 33 people hurt
First responders assist injured passengers from a charter bus that crashed in Boston Saturday night. (REUTERS/Boston Fire Dept./Handout)
The crash happened about 7:30 p.m. on Soldiers Field Road in Boston, according to Boston Emergency Medical Services spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan.
Medical workers took 33 people to four area hospitals - 28 with minor injuries and five with serious injuries, Mehigan said. Some people had to be removed through the bus roof and strapped onto backboards, according to the Boston Fire Department's Twitter feed.
"A number of patients were trapped at some point during the incident," said Mehigan.
All of the victims had been removed from the bus by about 9:30 p.m. She said the fire department had to remove part of the roof of the private Calvary Coach charter bus to perform the rescues.
The bus was carrying high school students and adult chaperones from the Philadelphia area, according to Massachusetts State Police. The students had been in the Boston area to visit Harvard.
Authorities are investigating whether charges are warranted in crash. The bus driver was believed to have missed a sign prohibiting the bus from that road, according to state police.

12 Women Who Make Us Love April
Byon April 1, 2014
Hold on to your umbrellas, fellas. Allow us to introduce you to a few ladies who make April a little more alluring than filing your tax returns at H&R Block.
April Macie: Declared the sexiest woman in comedy by Howard Stern (sorry, Joan Rivers), once told Examiner.com that she's into dudes who can spell.
AJ (April Jeanette) Lee: The reigning WWE Divas Champion and confirmed fan of full-body contact and slamming partners around makes us appreciate the rougher side of romance.
April Rose: Enjoys things like rolling around in lingerie and providing extremely obvious female advice to ladies-in-training on MTV's Girl Code. Thanks to April, topics like snooping through cell phones and PMS have never sounded so titillating.
April from Hot Tub Time Machine, played by Lizzy Caplan: If all it took to change life's destiny was the accidental combination of a Russian energy drink and a decrepit hot tub, everyone in New Hampshire would be sitting comfortably in lukewarm water alongside Lizzy Caplan with the jets set on full blast.
April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation, played by Aubrey Plaza: We'd let the sarcastic Deputy Director of Animal Control at Pawnee's Parks and Recreation Department criticize our job performance on Yelp any day. We know Andy wouldn't mind. (The Internet is difficult for him.)
April O'Neil from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Pioneering the one-piece, April was squeezing into tight-fitting jumpsuits before J.Lo even left the block. Despite the fact that she's kidnapped by Shredder, like, every other day, April's proven that she's ninja tough.
And let's blow out some candles for some of April's finest:
April 12: Brooklyn Decker
April 20: Carmen Electra
April 20: Miranda Kerr
April 22: Amber Heard
April 28: Jessica Alba
April 28: Penelope Cruz

Thanks to the cold weather, harvests have been a bit delayed here in South Florida. But as of last week or so, strawberry season has officially arrived. And the best place to get plump, ripe, aromatic berries is at Batten's Strawberry Farm (5151 SW 64th Ave., Davie, 954-792-0068), where the name simultaneously speaks for itself and doesn't say enough. Because not only are the strawberries worth bringing home; they're also perfect for sipping, blended in an ice-cold milkshake, while shopping for Batten's other prime produce, particularly the homegrown tomatoes and bell peppers. And don't fret if you miss the season: Batten's is open year-round, and while the berries might come from other sources in the summer, the milkshakes are always made on the premises.

Day One on Thursday, June 6th to Feature Top 73 Selections Live From Studio 42 at MLB Network and Simulcast on MLB.com; Astros Select First Overall; Marlins, Yankees Each Hold Four Picks on Day On
Major League Baseball will hold day one of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft on Thursday, June 6th at MLB Network's Studio 42 in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Draft will begin live on MLB Network and MLB.com at 7:00 p.m. (ET). Prior to the start of the Draft, MLB Network will air a Draft preview show, also simulcast on MLB.com, at 6:00 p.m. (ET).
The selection order of the First-Year Player Draft is determined by the reverse order of finish at the close of the previous championship season. The Houston Astros will have the first overall selection of the 2013 Draft, marking the second consecutive year, and the fourth time in Club history, that they hold the top selection (previous: 1976, 1992, 2012). It also marks the second time ever that a Club has the top pick in back-to-back years, joining the Washington Nationals, who held the first selection in 2009 and 2010. The New York Yankees have a league-high three first round picks (26th, 32nd and 33rd overall). Four Clubs have two first round picks: the Pittsburgh Pirates (9th and 14th), the St. Louis Cardinals (19th and 28th), the Tampa Bay Rays (21st and 29th) and the Texas Rangers (23rd and 30th). The Yankees and the Miami Marlins each have four of the first 73 selections.
For the first time, the Draft will feature Competitive Balance rounds, which were agreed upon as a part of the 2012-2016 Basic Agreement between MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association. The Competitive Balance rounds give Clubs with the lowest revenues and in the smallest markets the opportunity to obtain additional draft picks through a lottery, which was held last July at MLB Network. The 10 Clubs with the lowest revenues and the 10 Clubs in the smallest markets were entered into a lottery for the six selections immediately following the first round of the First-Year Player Draft (picks 34-39). The eligible Clubs that did not receive one of the six selections after the first round, and all other payee Clubs under the Revenue Sharing Plan, were entered into a second lottery for the six picks immediately following the second round of the Draft (picks 69-73; only five picks will be made in this round for 2013 after the Cleveland Indians forfeited their pick for the signing of free agent Michael Bourn).
The Draft will have 40 rounds, and a Club may pass on its selection in any round and not forfeit its right to participate in other rounds. Like each of the previous four years, the 2013 Draft will span three days. For day one on June 6th, MLB Network and MLB.com will provide live pick-by-pick coverage during the first round, Competitive Balance Round A, the second round and Competitive Balance Round B. The intervals between selections will last four and a half minutes during the first round, two minutes during Competitive Balance Round A, and one minute during the second round and Competitive Balance Round B. The Draft will resume at 1:00 p.m. (ET) on both Friday, June 7th and Saturday, June 8th via conference call from MLB headquarters in New York City. Friday, June 7th will cover rounds three through 10, and Saturday, June 8th will cover rounds 11 through 40. Rounds three through 10 will have one minute between selections, and the remainder of the selections will be made without delays.
Beginning with the Draft preview show, MLB Network's live coverage will feature interviews with Club front office personnel and representatives, footage from Club draft rooms, interviews with prospects and newly drafted players, and news and analysis from MLB Network's Greg Amsinger, Larry Bowa, Peter Gammons, John Hart, Brian Kenny, Al Leiter, Dan Plesac, Harold Reynolds, Bill Ripken, Alanna Rizzo, Sam Ryan and Matt Yallof, as well as Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com and Jim Callis of Baseball America.
MLB.com will begin its exclusive live programming of the Draft's final two days with a live draft show from its New York studios at 12:30 p.m. (ET) on June 7th, followed by a live pick-by-pick stream and draft and scouting expert commentary from Mayo and Callis. It also will provide DraftCaster, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of every draft-eligible player supplemented by statistics, scouting reports and video highlights.
Each of the 30 Major League Clubs will be represented at the Draft by one of its former players and/or a member of its front office. Last year's representatives included Hall of Famers Pat Gillick, Ferguson Jenkins, Tommy Lasorda and Frank Robinson, along with MLB Executive Vice President Joe Torre, Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia and 14-time All-Star Ivan Rodriguez. The Club representatives who will attend the 2013 Draft will be announced in the weeks ahead. In addition to the Club representatives, five first round selections attended the 2012 First-Year Player Draft last year, including the number one overall pick Carlos Correa.

Mexican in Highland Park?
That may be redundant, but we're looking for a place for dinner on Wednesday before attending a talk at Debs Park. Since everything Mexican near us (Pasadena) is El Torito quality, we'd love something with some character, better food, and good beer.
El Arco Iris on York is decent. Standard "combo plate" Mexican but certainly better than El Torito.
re: JeMange
I would not say that El Arco Iris is any significant improvement over much of anything in Pasadena. El Sombrero was a good experience the one time we went, a real neighborhood hang, and the food was fine. Chico's on Ave. 50 just off Figueroa was almost too authentic, but in a very good way; we've been there twice with a Mt. Washington gang who make themselves regulars. Our initial dislike for El Arco was due to the very expensive, tiny and weak margaritas; a badly-handled non-food experience involving uncontrolled unruly children drove us away for good.
re: Will Owen
WIll, I notice you have an axe to grind against El Arco, as you've dissed them on more than a few posts here. Care to elaborate on your experience(s)?
And, to be clear, I'm no cheerleader for the place. I just find it to be a decent option when we're in the area and want sit-down Mexican with beer/wine/liquor options.
re: JeMange
There were two women and several small children who sat down in the adjoining booth; the children soon were running around, climbing up the back of the booth and banging on it, shrieking to each other. Requests that the adults should do something were met with open hostility. We went to the manager. She said, "They're customers, what can I do?" This was, by the way, after 10:30 at night. Things got uglier afterwards.
Their food and drink would have to be rare precious jewels to induce us to return. They are not. The food is adequate, not as good as Chico's but at least it's more expensive, as are the tiny, watery margaritas. And I do not think a pack of raging hellions would be tolerated in Chico's, either.
re: Will Owen
Sounds like a recipe for indigestion.
re: Will Owen
I don't get it. If the kids are bugging you and the manager doesn't care, leave.
Huarache Azteca - 5225 York Blvd
You can cross off one of J. Gold's 99 essential LA restaurants if you don't mind eating off paper plates. Try the name sake with al pastor and wash it down with agua fresca or try the huitlacoche quesadilla, a.k.a. Mexican truffle a.k.a corn smut : )
re: six pack to go
Huarache Azteca is fine in terms of food but the eating experience is bare bones, as you said.
re: six pack to go
Do they serve beer?
I'd have to agree with Will on El Arco Iris. Mediocre and overpriced. You would think there would be good Mexican in Highland Park, but the few good places are modest taco stands and taco tables, all without beer. Best Mexican food in that area is Cacao in Eagle Rock, but again, no beer.
re: ipsedixit
+1 for Chico's. They sometimes use a little too much salt for my tastes, but it's probably as close as you'll come to your parameters. And they're long on character...do a Google streetview for it and you'll see what I mean. The inside's completely charming, too.
re: annagranfors
Only problem with Chico's - I could be wrong but I don't think so - is that they have no liquor license, so it's beer, wine, or those dreadful fake margs that even the waitress warned us off of. But for that food I'll choke down a Negro Modelo or two …
re: Will Owen
OP simply asked for "good beer" ...
re: ipsedixit
If they have Dos Equis lager I'd qualify them as having "good beer" for sure...
Doesn't Highland Park Kitchen have booze? They're not strictly Mexican but they have it on the menu
re: JackonCrack
Haven't seen a word about Highland Park Kitchen (aka HPK) on CH. Any experiences?
I only remember hearing about their opening on Eater LA: http://la.eater.com/archives/2012/02/...
re: JackonCrack
We tried Highland Park Kitchen. They do have a full bar, tacos, burger, flatbreads, etc. We tried the shortrib flatbread, the truffle mac n' cheese and a beet salad that appeared to be made with canned beets. The food was unremarkable and the service was kind of overbearing, but they really are trying to please. They also have a kid's menu. It's an ok option for those times when you have a combo of drinkers, kids, dogs, etc., but I'll most likely stick with Maxmiliano's.
Chico's is great, My Taco on York near Fig is even better. Also nearby is Via Mar at Fig & Ave 51 - in some ways even better than Señor FIsh.
FWIW, add me to the list of those less than thrilled with Arco Iris. Think El Torito on a bad day.
re: fishinwater
I love Cacao Mexicatessen, but sadly they have no beer (as per the OP's request).
re: fishinwater
My Taco's quite good, but the OP specifically asked for a place that had good beer, which they don't (or didn't...I haven't been in a while).
Actually, one of the two La Fuente restaurants might be alternatives–there's one on Colorado, one block west of Eagle Rock on the south side of the street in a minimall, and another that's just off Figueroa, about a mile south of York and a block west of Figueroa. Both are at least as good as either Chico's or My Taco, and have a reasonable number of beers available. (Sorry, no addresses, but Google's your friend.)
re: annagranfors
+1 La Fuente, the one on Fig. Close to Debs too.
I've been forgetting about La Abeja, clear at the north end on Figueroa - I recall it's a little south of the intersection with Pasadena Avenue, maybe a block. I know nothing of their booze capabilities, because I've just been there for a couple of gang brunches and stuck with iced tea, so maybe they've got none, but their thin-sliced fried pork chops were heaven, as was the machaca.
Okay - just Googled, and they've got no beer or anything. Go there sometime when you want some tamarindo …
re: Will Owen
Speaking of La Abeja, I was going through Saveur's "New Comfort Foods" cookbook, and notice that all but maybe two of the Mexican dishes are based on what the editor ate … at La Abeja! He fell in love with the place maybe twenty years ago, and went back recently to hit'em up for some recipes. I've had a hard time lately getting any farther south than Chico's, but I feel a need to check on this guy's research …
re: judybird
What did you eat and what was the star of the show?
re: Servorg
I had the chile verde, DH had a combo, a small steak (delicious) and a red chile enchilada. The red sauce was as good as we've had in New Mexico, and that's saying something. I'd have both again, but there are so many other interesting choices on the menu, I'd probably order something different just to try.
re: Savour
I'd also put a vote in for Caramba's which is at the border of Alhambra and El Sereno (which is also not far from Debs Park, just on the other side of the hill). Super old school. Food isn't spectacular but it's solid and I love the ambiance.

text: Palin, Lee, Cruz Campaign for Nebraska's Ben Sasse Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 25 Apr 2014 post a comment A thousand Nebraskans turned out at 10 AM on Friday for a rally for conservative Senate candidate Ben Sasse that featured former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT). Sasse, the anti-Obamacare candidate who has surged in the race, also rallied with former Nebraska Governor Kay Orr, the first female Republican governor, at Scout's Rest in North Platte, where Orr brought President Ronald Reagan in 1987 to campaign on her behalf. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Palin said, "What we need in the Senate are folks who are willing to not just go along to get along. We need the fighters." "That's why I'm here for Ben Sasse," Palin said. "He is the right person for this job.'' Palin, Lee, and Cruz on Thursday were in Oklahoma to back T.W. Shannon as a candidate who would stand up to the Washington establishment, and they noted that Sasse would be another politician who would provide conservatives like Cruz and Lee some reinforcements in Washington against the permanent political class. "I'm here supporting Ben Sasse because I believe he has the courage to look in the eyes of the party bosses in Washington and say, 'I don't work for you, I work for the people of Nebraska,''' Cruz said, according to the World-Herald. Sasse's opponent, Shane Osborne, as Breitbart News has reported, has the endorsement of Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). And Sasse compared his opponent's establishment endorsements to Lee's and Cruz's endorsements for him. Palin, who has also endorsed Pete Ricketts for governor in the state, has been influential in Nebraska even when she has not had as many allies as she does in supporting Sasse. As Breitbart News reported, Palin showed how influential her endorsement is in Nebraska when she put Sen. Deb Fischer in the Senate in 2012 with a Facebook post: During the 2012 election cycle in Nebraska, the Republican establishment spent millions backing Jon Bruning, while Washington's conservative establishment, including Freedom Works, spent millions backing Don Stenberg. But after Palin wrote a 135-word Facebook post to endorse Deb Fischer, the then-unknown candidate suddenly had "momentum, buzz, and name identification" and rocketed to the top of the polls en route to wins in the primary and general election. Palin said that Sasse would be "a great advocate for conservative action in the Senate!" "He's just the sort of problem solver we need to take on Obamacare and provide a conservative alternative to the challenges facing America!" she said. #TeamSasse coming together to help elect @Sasse4Senate! #NESen pic.twitter.com/iaJiaIPW5y— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) April 25, 2014 With YOUR help we'll send Ben Sasse to the Senate & #MakeDCListen!

Ferrari on November 24, 2014 sacked team chief Marco Mattiacci after just seven months in the post and appointed Maurizio Arrivabene in his place. Arrivabene takes over only days after the team signed Germany's four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel on a three-year contract starting from next year and a day after Ferrari finished the Formula One season winless for the first time since 1993.

We work with some of Britain's most ambitious brands.
We're inspired by their drive and focus. We love the way

campaigns that motivate, persuade and sell.
We design brands. We create brands. We evolve and refresh brands.

CM sees hope in GAIL pact
The Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, in Delhi, felt that the pact with Gas Authority of India Limited would aid the state much. As per the pact GAIL has agreed to supply gas to the power plants of the state. This would enable the power projects to produce at much lower costs. CM expressed his views while attending the pact signing in the presence of the Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy. He also said that low power production costs will result in high progress of the state.
CM clarified that by this pact GAIL shall supply gas to the power plants in the state. The cost of production prior to the gas supply approximately costs Rs 4 - 5 Cr per Mega watt of production. It may be noted earlier Union Oil Ministry officials had stated that Gail India will provide 2.5 million standard cubic metre per day domestic gas to fuel-starving power units in Andhra Pradesh from the share of its LPG plant and meet the shortfall with imported gas by a revenue neutral swapping arrangement. The supply would be however compensated by the Oil ministry by supplying the same quantity of R-LNG without any additional cost. The assurance did take the shape of the pact felt sources. The swap ended on March end. (With inputs from internet: AarKay)

It took until the 11th game in a record-setting season for an opponent to find a reliable brake pedal to push that would slow Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and the Aggies high-powered offense.But LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis applied it with authority in last weeks 34-10 romp in Baton Rouge, La., holding the Aggies 39.2 points below their season scoring average and limiting Manziel to a career-low 39 percent completion rate (16 of 41).No. 21 A&M (8-3, 4-3 in SEC) saw its FBS-best streak of 13 consecutive 40-point games disappear in the bayou. The Aggies gained a season-low 299 yards and managed one touchdown against Chavis troops.That raises questions about whether LSU, which has posted a 2-0 record against A&M and limited the Aggies to 14.5 points per outing in the Manziel era, has a blueprint for stopping the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner that other teams can mimic.The first potential imitator will be No. 5 Missouri (10-1, 6-1), which can earn a berth in the SEC Championship Game by defeating A&M in Saturdays game in Columbia, Mo. (6:45 p.m., ESPN). Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel made it clear he will be scouring videotapes of the A&M-LSU contest, seeking secrets he can apply Saturday.Everybody looks at everybody, Pinkel said during his weekly news conference in Columbia. You look at them and try to learn things and apply them to your own team. But youve got to look at your own personnel. You cant all of a sudden run a different defense or coverage you have never played before. I think LSU has their number right now. Nobody else has.A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said Tuesday he plans to correct a combination of things that unraveled last week for the A&M offense, including blown assignments and improper sight adjustments as LSU trotted out unexpected defensive alignments and fresh blitzes.Weve got to find a way to pick ourselves back up and get rolling, Sumlin said. We didnt play well enough or coach well enough to win that game. I dont think we handled the environment very well. But I think the attitude and motivation is just fine. Were playing in another national TV game against a top-5 opponent. If youre any kind of competitor, which the guys in this building are, your attitude shouldnt be any different because you lost on the road as an underdog. The sky is not falling.But the offense was stymied and Manziel looked mortal, even panicky at times. Thats a season first and the Missouri defense, which leads the SEC in sacks (35) and interceptions (18), has been better than LSUs in most weeks.Without question, LSUs ability to add fresh wrinkles to its defensive schemes during a bye week before facing A&M offered an advantage Missouri cannot match this week. After the game, LSU players and coaches said extra time to study Manziel-related tendencies helped, as did having receiver Odell Beckham Jr. simulate Manziel in practice.In terms of an LSU blueprint for stopping the Aggies, the primary elements are these: • Use a lot of coverage packages with six defensive backs, getting maximum speed and athleticism on the field.• Vary the types and frequency of blitzes.• Be patient in the pass rush and stress containment. Do not start chasing Manziel before he voluntarily leaves the pocket under pressure.• Force Manziel to his left when he leaves the pocket. That will require Manziel, as a right-handed quarterback, to throw across his body on the run if he spots an open receiver while in scramble mode. Thats the toughest throw to make for any quarterback.• Limit A&Ms touches by having your offense control the ball. LSU maintained possession for 40:19 with a ground-and-pound approach, holding A&M to a season-low 59 plays.Can Missouri follow a similar blueprint Saturday? Mizzou defensive end E.J. Gaines is not sure but acknowledged LSUs ability to limit Manziel to 274 yards of total offense (108 below his season average) offers a reason for optimism for his defense, too.Yes. I guess you could say that, but it doesnt happen very often, Gaines said. Were not looking on stopping him, but slowing him down and containing him.After the LSU game, Manziel said he and other team leaders have to get these guys together and pull them closer than ever in practice this week to get the offense back on track against Missouri. A key issue, said Manziel, was his 2-of-11 passing performance in the first quarter.For me, a big thing is getting completions early, Manziel said. In some of the other games, where you go 10-of-10 or you go 7-for-8, you start completing some high-percentage passes and get in a rhythm. Thats what we do and we have to do that to be successful.LSU prevented that last week. Whether Missouri can follow a similar blueprint Saturday will determine if these Tigers reign as SEC East Division champs or if A&M emerges as a spoiler by getting its high-powered offense back in gear.

A little about me...
About me----I am a 62 year old active, healthy woman who is honest, with a good sense of humor, fun--most of the time, pretty romantic and straightforward. I enjoyed being married the first time, knowing someone very well and sharing life. It did not work out for a variety of reasons but I miss being committed to one person. Family is important to me and I am very close to mine, which is large but spread out. We get together frequently. NYC was my home for many years and my daughter and I moved to Portland 11 years ago. Life is good right now but I need to start doing things for myself. My daughter lives at home. I adopted her from Brazil when she was a month old after my divorce many years ago. It was the best thing I have ever done. We have a very close relationship. however, I need more in my life. Write and you'll learn more. First couple of pictures are three years old by the way. Have not changed much.
About the one I'm looking for...
About you---Hopefully you will be healthy, physically fit, spontaneous and able to have fun ---not too structured. Honesty, a good work ethic and a sense of humor are most important to me. Working out, liking the outdoors, the water and just hanging out to relax would be good. Being "easy on the eyes" and looking like your picture!! is also good. I really don't like flirts, would rather a message. So, take a chance.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

Partnerships: Telkonet, Pacific Energy Service, Ford, KB Home
Pacific Energy Service, which specializes in energy conservation and hotel renovation projects, has sold and installed Telkonet's EcoSmart energy management technology in more than 10,000 hotel rooms. In the past six months, Pacific Energy Service has installed fully-networked EcoSmart energy management systems in approximately 2,000 rooms throughout California, New York and Maryland locations. These include projects for Chartres Lodging Group, Starwood Hotels, Sunstone Hotels and five luxury properties located in San Diego, with another 740 rooms scheduled for installation over the next few months. Funding for the installation of EcoSmart at these San Diego properties is provided by the "Premium Cooling Efficiency Program," part of a California initiative to improve energy efficiency, reduce peak electricity demand, and curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Ford Motor Company will feature products from its MyEnergi Lifestyle line in KB Homes' ZeroHouse 2.0 model home in San Marcos, Calif. MyEnergi Lifestyle leverages technology so devices in a home use less energy, while also shifting energy loads off peak. At night, for example, when energy costs are lower, a smart refrigerator can perform high-energy tasks like ice making or defrosting. Ford is also plugging in its electric C-MAX Energi car into the ZeroHouse 2.0's built-in electric vehicle charge station, which is engineered to charge the vehicle during off-peak hours. ZeroHouse 2.0 continues a national rollout of the net-zero energy home options KB Homes began in fall 2011. The ZeroHouse 2.0 in San Marcos includes both a Schneider Electric Wiser home management system and Whirlpool smart appliances that allow homeowners to monitor and program their appliances through wireless networks. The ZeroHouse 2.0 includes additional insulation; upgraded HVAC systems; dual-pane, low-emitting windows; and roof-mounted solar panels by SunPower.

The yard is beautifully landscaped with sun and shade (great for toddlers). There's an outside, enclosed shower with hot and cold water, lawn and deck furniture, picnic table with umbrella, located in private association Scorton Shores, beach is private, never crowded, approx. 2 minute drive to private parking lot, a 7 minute walk, gorgeous sunsets and sandbars at low tide. Great walking and running paths along Scorton Creek, around to ocean side. Fans, gas grill. Complete packet of information & booklets sent.
You can walk the beach for miles connected to Sandy Neck Beach, excellent location, great ocean fishing, making the area very adult and family oriented. Most houses are occupied by year round residents. No pets are allowed.
Cross over the Sagamore Bridge, stay on the beautiful bay side of the Cape, enjoy the relaxation that our lovely home, beach,and Rt 6A restaurants, and unique shops have to offer!
Some of the same people have rented our house since 1994 when we purchased it, and continued after our recent renovation and new addition! (done winter 2005) We can provide several references.
Historic Sandwich Center, Glass Museum, Heritage Plantation and Auto Museum, Cape Cod Canal with paths to walk, bike, jog, Cape Cod Rail Trail sight see, lunch, dinner trains, kayak, fish at Scorton Creek, unique shops for miles along Rt.6A, Heritage Plaza has small cinema, restaurants, walk the Sandwich Boardwalk to Town Beach
I own the house with my husband, Dave. I manage the house and help you plan your vacation by providing all the information you need in my packet that I send you along with booklets, etc. We bought our house because we have both loved the ocean since we were kids. We had vacationed at Cape Cod with our family and dreamed about owning a house on the Rt.6A side of the Cape (the bay side, less crowded, very quaint). That dream came true in April 1994 when we purchased our home in private Scorton Shores! Once we glanced at our beach with that blue/green color that we love, we knew that this was meant to be. Our next plan was to completely renovate and add on which we did winter/spring of 2005. We, and our repeat renters, couldn't be happier with the changes! Our yard is beautifully landscaped with sun and shade. We love to walk from the house to the beach then to the Scorton Creek path when we get the chance to stay. Our renters feel as though it's their house and we hope you do, too!

About Rhonda Manning
My husband, Dave, and I have both loved the ocean since we were kids. We had vacationed at Cape Cod for years with our family and dreamed about owning a house on the Rt.6A side of the Cape. That dream came true in April 1994 when we purchased our home in the private beach community of Scorton Shores! Once we glanced at our beach with the beautiful blue/green colors that we love, we knew that this was meant to be. Our next plan was to completely renovate and add on to our house which we did from late fall 2004 through June 2005. We, and our renters, couldn't be happier with the changes!! Our yard is beautifully landscaped and we love sitting in the sun/shady areas. We both love to walk from our house to the beach (6 minutes) and around to the Scorton Creek path and back to the house for our morning exercise. Dave is a runner and loves this run more than any other! You can walk the beach for miles!!! We also enjoy the privacy our beach has to offer. You need the beach pass to get onto the beach (copies in our house). Biking, fishing, shopping, exploring are what we love to do when we're at our house. Lots of bike trails not far away!! We have grown children and have 3 young grandchildren who absolutely love the house. People who have homes in Scorton Shores either live there year round or use their homes as their vacation home; not many rental properties here. Our neighbors are great! Peaceful, family area. We're not far from Hyannis where you can shop, eat, get the boats to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. We're also not far from The National Seashore where you'll see wild surf and hugh sand cliffs! Great house for 'girlfriend getaway weekends!' I've worked hard to make our home feel like 'your home.' It truly is our paradise!! Some of our renters have stayed at our house since 1994!!! They feel as though it's their own house and we hope you do, too!
Rhonda and Dave, Braintree, MA
Rhonda Manning purchased this house in 1994
Why Rhonda Manning chose East Sandwich
We chose this location because it's close to the Cape's Sagamore Bridge and the Cape Cod Canal which is great for fishing, riding bikes, jogging, walking! The Sandwich area is very historic and quaint. Lovely Rt.6A isn't crowded like so much of the Cape on the other side at Rt.28. There are many unique craft shops for miles along Rt.6A from our house. Our location is about one hour from our home which is great! It's also close to Logan Airport (about 1 and 1/2 hr away)
What makes this house unique
This property has a beautiful yard with lots of mature plantings and privacy. There's sun and shade. Very well manicured landscaping. House is located in a private community where most owners live there year round or use their house as a true second home so not many renters in the area. The house is fully equipped and the rooms, cathedral ceilings, colors are all very nice. There's something for everyone in this house. The beach is really great and the walk next to Scorton Creek around to the beach is wonderful. The beach is private so it's never crowded. This association is off of Rt.6A which is the more quaint, less crowded side of Cape Cod. The other side along Rt.28 is very commercial and there's a lot of traffic in the summer. This house is about 4-5 miles to historic Sandwich Center which is beautiful. There's lots to do there and I describe that all in my packet of information that I send out called Where to go and What to do. If you are a guest in the spring and fall, there's also a lot to do and this area is beautiful any time of the year. Sandwich does offer The Holly Days of Sandwich starting Thanksgiving weekend through New Year's. This is also a great time to stay at the house and join along in the many holiday activities that the town offers. Another benefit of this house and location is that it's close to the Sagamore Bridge only 3 exits away so you don't have to drive for miles to get to your Cape Cod destination.

Nice quiet place just off Parnell St. Lots of restaurants and shops a few minutes away. Easy walk to Newmarket and even a reasonable one down to Viaduct Harbor and the downtown area. Quiet and clean with lockers in the rooms and good wifi. I would definitely stay here again.

Taekwondo United in South Fort Myers is training kids to be ninjas this summer! The summer camps offer kids the opportunity to engage in traditional Taekwondo, create their own artwork, and enjoy field trips too.
Kids can come for a day, a week, or for the remaining weeks of the summer. Master Geoff Rackebrandt says the camps along with other programs through the school teach students the principles of courtesy, integrity, self control. perseverance, indomitable spirit, and humility. During the camps, students also learn etiquette, discipline, and creativity.
Taekwondo United opened at Island Park Rd. and U.S. 41 in 2005 and offers martial arts classes for all ages, after school programs for kids, and fields a sparring team that recently picked up gold, silver, and bronze medals at the national competitions.
To find out more about Taekwondo United, the Ninja Training Camp, or other programs offered, visited the school's website or Facebook page.

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin

Don't be fooled by Amy Winehouse's boozy-beehive, tabloid-fodder image. This gum-popping Londoner has the talent and substance necessary to back the substantial hype. With vocals that ooze a seductive combination of confidence, innocence and sleaze, Winehouse is a real-life dream girl. While her throwback approach is mightily informed by classic soul, jazz and '60s girl groups, the songstress updates the sound by working with riddim masters of the moment Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, producers known for their work with Nas, Sean Paul and Jay-Z. Although initially this may seem to be a contradiction in styles, Back to Black's infusion of hip-hop swagger into retro grooves and instrumentation results in a fresh combination, igniting the deep, latent, interconnected roots of these genres. But the linchpin here is Winehouse's confessional songwriting, which she delivers with a wizened sense of self that belies her 25 years.
