Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, is a good place to head to for a wonderful dining experience. The area houses some of the best and most expensive Chinese restaurants in the city, along with many of the best and cheapest food stalls, especially at night.
The restaurants mostly specialise in Southern Chinese (Cantonese) cooking, with noodles, seafood and, at lunchtime, dim sum dominating the menus. Large (and pricey!) restaurants line the bustling Yaowarat Road, but venturing into the little 'sois' (streets) or lanes will lead you to much cheaper yet equally enjoyable establishments.
At night, the streets light up with blaring neon signs. Ad hoc seafood stalls line the sidewalks, drawing such crowds that late-comers have to wait for seats.
Close by is also Pahurat, if you're in the mood for Indian food. But, if the array of sights and smells is a bit too overwhelming for you, head over to the Old Siam Shopping Centre, where you will find more tourist-friendly, Western and Thai restaurants, along with the odd fast food outlet.
For added measure we feature another restaurant which specialises in sharks fin (once there you will realize that it pretty hard to escape). If you don't warm to that then there are plenty of other options that you can fill up on. The fried fish with black bean sauce is delicious, especially when accompanied by some crab fried rice.
The fried whole crab with black pepper is well priced and equally as tasty. For the more adventurous the barbecued suckling pig might not look like the most appetizing thing on the menu but appearances can be deceptive, especially in Chinatown.
Opening Hours: 10:30-02:00
Address: 483-5 Yaowarat Rd
Tel: +66 2623 0183 - 5
Cuisine: Chinese
Chinatown is certainly not short of eating establishments, but if you are looking to add a real touch of panache to your meal then it's impossible to beat the 1930s Shanghai parlour concept at Cotton restaurant. Located on the second floor of Shanghai Mansion Bangkok Boutique Hotel, the decor is simply wonderful, with a spiral cast-iron staircase, traditionally upholstered seating and period touches such as gramophones and antique furniture.

Opening Hours: Lunch: 11:30 to 14:30 – Dinner: 18:30 to 22:30

Bangkok's Chinatown is a lot of things, but relaxing it is not. A day spent exploring the endless alleyways of traders and vendors is culturally stimulating but physically exhausting. That is why Double Dogs Tea Room proves such a welcome harbour from the frenetic pace of life outside. This air-conditioned shophouse on Yaowarat – the high street of Chinatown – serves a range of premium teas and Chinese cakes with all the pride and ceremony of a traditional tea room, and yet it is a casual hangout for weary visitors and more than the odd local too.

Address: 406 Yaowarat Road, Chinatown

This long-established restaurant is the work of Cha Cha, who for 40 years cooked for the rich and famous. Cha Cha's son has maintained the family tradition of serving hearty Indian fare. Curries abound with mutton chutniwalla being the pick of the lot. Vindaloo is also recommended but for those of a less fiery disposition, chicken kashmiri, a rich, mild Himalayan blend with dried fruits, nuts and yoghurt will hit the spot.
Opening Hours: 10:00-23:00
Address: 1229/11 Charoen Krung (New Road) Soi 47/1
Tel: +66 2235-1569
Cuisine: Indian
One of three noodle and dim sum establishments in the city, treats include Hong Kong-style noodles with grilled duck or pork. Homemade egg noodles, shrimp wonton soup and khao moo deang (rice and grilled pork topped with red sauce). Prices are very reasonable with dishes going for as little as 40 baht.
Opening Hours: 11:00 - 23:00
Address: Next to the MRT, exit 3, Chinatown
Tel: +66 (0) 2 613 -8977
Cuisine: Noodles
One of Chinatown's more expensive options, but don't doubt that you will get your money's worth. Famed for its birds' nest soup, other tasty alternatives include roasted Cantonese meats and hoy tawt (mussels in batter). The atmosphere is typically Chinese, bustling while still efficient.
Opening Hours: 14:00-24:00

Tel: +66 (0) 222-0635
Cuisine: Chinese
Goose webs, sea cucumber, shellfish, birds' nest soup and goat meat are just some of the culinary wonders that feature on this menu. This is a great place to try the restaurant's signatures dish, shark fin soup. While not compromising on taste, Lao Li Shark Fin is the one of the cheapest in town.
Opening Hours: 14:00 – 24:00

Bangkok is a city of extremes and this is particularly obvious when it comes to food. Here you can treat yourself to an extravagant and ludicrously expensive dinner on a rooftop restaurant, or eat a basic but excellent meal at a street stall for a handful of baht. Lek-Rut seafood in Chinatown is the most interesting mix of both culinary worlds, serving great food in the most unlikely surroundings you could dream of for a nice dinner: a frantic intersection of Bangkok Chinatown.

Location: Intersection of Yaowarat Road and Thanon Phadung Dao Street
Cheap and cheerful yet still mouth-wateringly delightful. Many of Bangkok's residents claim Nai Sow does the best tom yam goong (spicy shrimp soup) in the city. Next door to Wat Plaplachai, this is a consistently good restaurant and a certain bet for good Thai dishes. Try the 'naw mai thalay' (sea asparagus in oyster sauce), delicious.
Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00
Address: 3/1 Maitrichit Road, Chinatown, Bangkok
Tel: +66 (0) 222-1539

An alternative to Chinese food if you fancy a bit of spice, Nai Yong is very reasonably priced, serving up all your favourite Thai treats including thick and creamy Massaman gai and Penang curries.
Opening Hours: 19:00-02:00
Address: Yaowarat Road (between Yaowarat Soi 6 and Plaengnam Road). In front of Talat Kao Market, Yarowat Road
Cuisine: Curry
This well-established Chinese restaurant is famous for its Cantonese-style roast duck, barbecued pork and dim sum. Other popular dishes include hot and cold hord'oeuvres, Peking duck, abalone in oyster sauce, scallops in XO sauce and steamed seabass in white soy sauce. The interior decor leands towards old-school, with the usual gold and red colour scheme and tables setup for banquets and large gatherings.
Opening Hours: 11:00 – 23:00
Location: Yaowarat Road (corner of Rajchawong and Yaowaraj)
Tel: +66 (0)2 224 5807
Cuisine: Chinese
For many this is Chinatown's best restaurant, nothing much to look at, it would be a mistake to be deterred by the rough exterior. T&K is all about the food (and brisk service). Simple, fresh, tasty southern-Chinese recipes and the best seafood in the area; try the oysters and sea bass.

CALDWELL: Evaluating WWE's Raw roster after live house show – what's working …
By James Caldwell, Torch assistant editor
Sunday night's WWE Raw brand house show in Houston confirmed several things about the state of affairs on WWE's top brand and also exposed areas where WWE is weak and needs work.
The show also provided a regular look at how the audience is receiving certain characters and simple, basic, often-times generic stories. WWE's version of wrestling is not a sophisticated product, which allows WWE to draw in a wider audience, but also limit emotional investment, which impacts WWE's ability to draw money. Compact that with bad short-term and long-term booking habits on TV and it magnifies the importance of John Cena to this brand.
The following is a break down of the line-up, looking at the depth chart of Top Heels and Faces. (Read my Raw house show report here.)
Main Event
– John Cena (face): On the Livecast, we get that question quite often about whether Cena will ever turn heel. It won't be happening anytime soon (as in years) until people stop buying merchandise, people stop caring about Cena, and WWE finds another cash cow #1 lead babyface. Gauging the crowd Sunday night, the cash cow is still producing for WWE.
The Toyota Center was filled with Cena Red merchandise, there was a swell of energy when Cena came out, kids were intensely into Cena, adults were intensely against Cena, and there wasn't another babyface on the show who elicited a response like Cena. Rey Mysterio is a clear #2, but he's not in Cena's league. I'll get to Rey below, who I believe is misplaced right now, but it's clear Cena is the most valuable asset in WWE.
Is there another way to promote wrestling in 2011 where Cena's act would be a detriment? Certainly, but WWE is in the "John Cena business" right now and it's working to keep business stable in-between WrestleManias.
– R-Truth (heel): At 39-years-old, Truth has finally found himself as a character. Truth was terrific on the mic (drawing laughter from the adults entertained by his act and passionate, passionate, passionate boos from the kids who wanted to see Cena drop him with the AA).
Truth is above a "bit player" heel, but not a heel who can draw money. He was great working with Cena, but I don't think he would be as strong of a heel with another opponent. He's good for house shows, but not for TV or PPV main events, as evidenced by Capitol Punishment last Sunday. He's a typical WWE 2011 Heel – not strong enough to be a money-drawing heel, but good enough to work with Cena on house shows.
Semi-Main Event
– Big Show (face): Show is Show. He gets the oohs and aahs from the crowd due to his size, but he's past his days being in the main event scene. If Cena were need to time off, Show could rotate in for a short-term run, but he's a good novelty act to have on Raw.
– Alberto Del Rio (heel): Del Rio thrives in the environment WWE has created: a simple, easy-to-pick up product that appeals to an audience made up predominantly of kids who don't see through the charade and are completely invested in the stories. Del Rio followed Vickie Ziggler, C.M. Punk, and The Miz in a procession of heels easily working up the crowd on the mic. Often-times, Del Rio's mic work doesn't translate to TV, where the stories are often-times over-written, but Del Rio playing a cowardly heel after pretending to be Show's friend was as simple as it gets for a live audience. He's not positioned as a main event heel, but he's right behind Punk as #2, with Miz and Truth battling for #3.
Sixth Match
– Alex Riley (face): Riley seems to have a long future ahead of him, so it's early to evaluate his babyface run, but this needs a lot of work. The audience simply doesn't have a connection to him other than "he's not Miz." It's similar to Randy Orton's character on Smackdown not having much depth. Orton gets away with it due to longevity and having a strong connection to the audience. Riley doesn't have much of a presence in the ring and WWE needs to draw something out of him. Otherwise, his current run with Miz could be his peak as a face.
– The Miz (heel): I feel Miz's work has become repetitive on TV, but he seemed more engaged in his character with some freedom to explore riling up an easy crowd. Also, based on the crowd response, Miz is firmly entrenched as a main-eventer. Now, that's a relative statement. In today's WWE environment, where the formula is WWE Brand + Cena = money, he's not in a position to draw money as a heel despite being a "main-eventer." He's credible enough to seem like a threat to Cena (or another top face), but there isn't a deep, emotional attachment that leads to people opening up their wallets to see him get his comeuppance. Like most heels in WWE, Miz has a surface-level connection with the audience, but Miz plays his character very well when he's engaged.
Fifth Match
– Rey Mysterio (face): I've said this on the Livecast since the Draft that Mysterio is misplaced on Raw. WWE is obviously trying to fill his shoes with Sin Cara, but Rey should be right up there with Cena as the top star on Raw, but there wasn't a strong sense of connection with Rey at this show. The connection was there, but it wasn't like I've seen and "felt" at previous WWE shows when Rey was really over and Mysterio masks were everywhere. I didn't see much of that Sunday night, but I was blinded by a sea of Cena Red. Rey could be more valuable to WWE as a main-eventer on Smackdown rather than a weak #2 on Raw.
– C.M. Punk (heel): Punk seemed to be enjoying himself playing a heel in front of such an easy crowd. All he had to do was stand in the ring with a mic in his hand and the crowd showered him with boos. That's quite a satisfying feeling for a heel, and he played it up perfectly. Punk is also the most credible in-ring wrestler on Raw's heel depth chart, which translated into one of the best matches of the night working with Rey.
I would have liked to have seen Punk work with Cena to get a sneak-peek at Money in the Bank, but Punk was clearly the vocal male fan-favorite with this audience, which will be more intensified in Chicago on July 17. During the match with Rey, Punk could have selfishly gone for more "cool heel" cheers, but he instead heeled on the fans cheering for him in order to put the focus on Rey as the star of the show. Punk is clearly the most-well-rounded heel in WWE, which could lead to some strong TV leading to MITB (and potentially after MITB if Punk remains with the company).
Fourth Match
– Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston (faces): Bourne seemed to be more over than Kingston on this night. It might be different on a different night in a different city, but that Air Bourne move is so over that the audience seemed to react to Bourne's music and his arrival just anticipating getting a photo to post on Facebook.
Looking at Kingston facially, he needs about three-to-five years to age some more in order to develop a "main event look." Also, his offensive moveset isn't quite at that "ritual stage" like it is with Cena where the audience anticipates, knows, and wants to see the whole routine. Kofi just needs time, which is difficult for business when WWE's roster is so thin. He's fine where he is right now.
– Vickie Guerrero Dolph Ziggler (heels): I put Vickie and Dolph in that order because of crowd response. As soon as Vickie's voice was heard in the arena, the boos came down hard. Vickie could be a main event heel manager, but she could also eventually help Dolph achieve main-event heel status on Raw.
Vickie has a certain charisma Dolph is missing, but I saw something from Dolph before, during, and after the match that showed he can get there; he just needs time. The way Ziggler carried himself connected with the crowd more than I've seen with TV audiences. Perhaps WWE needs to re-evaluate how they present Dolph on TV, as he carried himself with a certain charisma that connected with the audience beyond Vickie doing the "excuse me!" routine for easy heat.
Rest of the Card
– Kelly Kelly (face): Kelly was the most-popular Diva in the six-Divas tag match. She's a good face to be positioned as an underdog fighting against an imposing heel, which would have been Kharma's role. WWE needs to build up a monster heel to feud against Kelly if WWE plans for her to be a long-term champion.
– Chris Masters (face): Not enough from Masters in a two-minute match with Jack Swagger to evaluate him.
– Jack Swagger (heel): The audience seemed to be impressed with his physical build, but, again, not enough from this match to evaluate whether Swagger can be anything more than a second-match act on a house show.
– Santino Kozlov (faces): Santino's entire act is over on that Hornswoggle level appealing to kids, but not at Cena's level to where people will pay money to see the act. Santino is just a very good opening-match babyface getting the crowd excited and into the action. It's a valuable role.
– New Nexus (Otunga McGillicutty) (heels): Otunga got plenty of catcalls for being "Mr. Hudson," as he wasn't taken seriously at all by the audience. He's not in any position to move up, but WWE has obviously figured out how to get audiences interested in his matches by pairing him up with Santino Kozlov. He's a heel whose role is simply giving the audience someone to laugh at. Again, that's a valuable role on a show with main event, mid-card, and lower-card acts. Should he be holding a Tag Title belt, though? No, but WWE doesn't see tag wrestling as anything more than lower-card action.
Faces Depth Chart break down
(1) John Cena (cash cow)
(2) Rey Mysterio (misplaced)
(3) Big Show (featured attraction)
(4) Alex Riley (needs work)
(5a) Evan Bourne (needs an opportunity like summer 2010)
(5b) Kofi Kingston (needs 3-5 more years)
Heels Depth Chart break down
(1) C.M. Punk (most well-rounded)
(2) R-Truth (found himself as a heel)
(3) The Miz (strong live, but repetitive on TV)
(4) Del Rio (not positioned as a credible main-eventer, but could be)
(5) Dolph Ziggler (there's a drop-off from 4 to 5, but Ziggler is like Kofi needing more time)

|Teen Poetry Anthology Published
A very special book of poetry is now available for check out at all WCLS branch libraries. A Forest of Words is a selected anthology of 34 teen poets from all around Whatcom County!Katrina Carabba, the youth focus staff member at the Deming Library started A Forest of Words in 2011.
This year, the teen poets were invited to a workshop with the award winning Whatcom County poet James Bertolino. Sixteen teen poets participated, writing and reading their work. Mr. Bertolino read a few of the poems out the anthology and discussed them. Many teens had questions about how to get published and whether poets can make any money. Mr. Bertolino encouraged teens to "get their poems out there" by submitting them to publications and entering poetry contests. He also praised the Whatcom County Library System for providing such a wonderful opportunity for the young poets of Whatcom County.
One teen gave the event high praise. On a napkin left behind on a table were the words "Writing is awesome."
National Poetry Month in April afforded several opportunities for WCLS poetry fans to read and discuss poetry, including a group of teens at the Everson McBeath Library who held a Poetry Slam. Participating teens received a booklet of the poems that were read aloud. A video of the event is available on the WCLS YouTube channel.

Most of us are happy just to get to the end of the day without our precious devices winding down in to a premature slumber, much to our horror.
Whilst contrary to popular opinion new chip-sets whilst faster and more powerful are almost always more economical and of course as handsets get bigger its easier to fit a larger battery in place. So generally we've seen battery life improve year by year and most modern phones will last a couple of days with moderate usage, which is just fine for most but what if you wanted not just two days but two months, well if you're paranoid about being castaway and washed up on a remote island and have a crippling addiction to Candy Crush then Phillips has just the phone!
Their new W6618 packs a fairly feeble, but efficient 1.3 Ghz processor, which when combined with a ridiculously large 5300 mAh battery equals astonishing battery life! They claim the W6618 is good for 66 days of standby or 33 days of talk time, that's a whoooole lot of chatter. Otherwise the phone is fairly unremarkable sporting a low res 540 x 960 display (no doubt contributing to that phenomenal battery life) 1GB RAM, 4GB Internal memory and Dual Sim support, all wrapped up in an understandably chunky 11.6mm frame.
The price for all these endurance credentials is a modest $273.

Contact: Fran Maas, Turning Points Lecture Series coordinator, (360) 650-7545, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
BELLINGHAM - Western Washington University's John Bower will present "One Foot In Nature, One Foot In a Crazy World: How The Study Of Nature Can Lesson Our Environmental Impact and Improve Our Quality of Life," the first installment in WWU's Turning Points faculty lecture series, at 5:15 p.m., on Wednesday, Nov.12, in Communications Facility room 110.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
In his talk Bower will use data and photographs from his studies of the natural world to consider how nature study can inform our attempt to slow environmental degradation while improving our quality of life. Drawing on his studies of bowhead whales in the Alaskan arctic, hummingbirds and seabirds on a remote Pacific Ocean island, and Pacific Northwest marine birds, as well as the research of other scientists, he will address the impact humans are having on the natural world.
But pointing out the dilemma of environmental degradation is only one part of working toward a solution. How do we find the motivation to change our lifestyles to lessen our impact on the natural world? And if we did make such changes, what would happen to the quality of our own lives? Working from the viewpoint that humans are animals with a long evolutionary history who suddenly find themselves in a novel environment, Bower argues that the careful study of other animals and the cross-cultural study of humans can teach us about how to enrich our current lives while living more sustainably.
Drawing on lessons learned from slowing down to nature's pace and doing research in out-of-the-way places, Bower argues that a simpler, less energy intensive life will not only improve the plight of the environment but also can improve our quality of life.
John Bower, associate professor at WWU's Fairhaven College for Interdisciplinary Studies, has spent 25 years studying the natural world. Getting his start as a birdwatcher, his research includes acoustic communication in bowhead whales and song sparrows, as well as population ecology of Pacific Northwest marine birds. Most recently, Bower and his family lived on Isla Robinson Crusoe, 500 miles off the coast of Chile, where he studied competition for flowers between the endangered and endemic Juan Fernandez firecrown hummingbird and the green firecrown, a recent arrival from the South American mainland. He teaches a wide variety of courses at Fairhaven, including "Marine Bird Ecology," "The Science and Music of Natural Sound," "Cultural and Biological Perspectives on Pregnancy and Childbirth," and "The Folk Music Experience."
For more information about the Turning Points Series faculty speaker series call (360) 650-7545 or visit http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~lectures/turningpoints.html.
For those attending Turning Points faculty lectures, no parking permit is required to park after 5 p.m. in the gravel lots 12A and the C lots south of the Communications Facility, near Fairhaven College. Parking meters require payment all hours.

Stock Futures Fall as Obama Summons Leaders to 'Fiscal Cliff' Meeting
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures fell before President Obama meets with House and Senate leaders to come up with a plan to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
Obama has three days to hammer out a plan with lawmakers before the country goes off the cliff, meaning taxes will rise and spending will be cut, a combination that could sink the economy. He will meet with House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each declined by only 0.1% Thursday after suffering losses of more than 1% earlier in the day, when Reid said Republicans are stalling in finding a solution. Stocks rebounded after Republicans said they're prepared to work over the weekend to meet the Dec. 31 fiscal-cliff deadline.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he will do all he can to create a cushion for lawmakers. After the stock market closed Wednesday, he said in a letter to Reid that the federal government will reach its $16.394 trillion statutory debt limit on Dec. 31.Geithner said the Treasury is planning "extraordinary measures" to postpone defaulting on $200 billion in bond payments and create some "headroom" for Washington beyond New Year's Day. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures declined 61 points to 12,942 as of 8:06 a.m. New York time. S&P 500 futures fell 8 points to 1,402.70. Nasdaq futures dropped 13.5 points to 2,609. The economic calendar in the U.S. on Friday includes Chicago-area business conditions (PMI report) and pending home sales. -- Written by Parris Kellermann >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Your iPhone could help you find where you parked your car
Two freshly published Apple patents might make your next visit to the mall a bit less stressful. "Automatic Identification of Vehicle Location" and "Vehicle Location In Weak Signal Scenarios" -- which were both filed in early 2013 and became public today -- describe systems that can point you to your parking space with or without the assistance of GPS.
Far from a simple waypoint system that sends you back the way you came, both patents note that the system "can determine when a vehicle in which the mobile device is located has entered a parked state," automatically.
This can be achieved either by utilizing an iPhone's built-in accelerometer to determine the difference between in-motion driving and a stopped, parked state, or via a data connection with the vehicle itself, which would then tell the device that the car is indeed parked. Once this is determined, the user's path away from the vehicle is tracked to allow for the return trip to be plotted.
As someone who hates going to the grocery store for multiple reasons -- one of which being that I never remember to mentally note my parking space -- this could certainly come in handy. As with all patents, however, we may very well never see this system make it into a device, though it certainly seems to be technically doable with existing technology.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced today to 23 months in prison, according to TMZ. He pleaded guilty in August to participating in a dogfighting ring where several dogs were drowned or hung if they didn't perform well in the fights or were injured. Well, it looks justice has been served because Michael Vick is the one in the doghouse now! Zing! Did you see that? I make it look so easy, but I've seen men lose a limb trying to dish out that level of wordplay.
Michael Vick sentenced to 23 months in prison
his prison nick: "Dawg"
what an asshole.
What did you expect from a coon. Have fun having your shit pushed in dog hater!
Does anyone know if Michael Vick can act? This could make for a much better remake of The Longest Yard than Adam Sandler's version. Tom Sizemore should be cast as Cookie.
would like to see him hang for sucks ball
Dog Killer! He should be made to fight a pack of pit bulls.
you are the only person so far who has enough intelligence and wit to post something clever. everyone else is either illiterate or dull
Not fair. Should have been longer, maybe 23 months for each dog that he brutalized and tortured for non-performance. What a sick, sick individual. I hope he suffers.
Nice racial slur btw White Urkele, your hatred and racism is about as classy as Vick's dogfighting. Good on ya.
I just sent him a wedding dress to Federal prison b/c he is going to be every man's bitch there!
can't wait… the dogs will be laughin up there!

#5 – And Kiefer could play Captain Knauer.
re: lindz
stop double posting dumbass. your comment is stupid anyway. nobody is going to try to fuck micheal vick. he's worth too much to treat like common prison trade.
They should have punished him by forcing him to inseminate unchained and near starving female mastiffs with yeast infections by hand while covered in steak sauce… or Star Jones.
all them animal rights assholes are nothing but hypocrites, because don't none of them bitches give a fuck about pitbulls. What's the most banned breed of dog in the country? Pits. And what happens to your pit if they catch you with one? They "put it to sleep" right away. And I can bet more pitbulls die that way every year than from dog fighting. Theres no breed more persecuted, misconceived, and hated than pitbulls.
I don't really care either way about animals, but I do love dogs, so I don't agree with fighting them, but don't tell me that all of a sudden you care about pits when you just need a bad guy poster boy for you cause.
he should fight in MMA when he gets out of the joint!
@5 Auntie Kryst – I thought Tom Sizemore would make a better prison cheer leader.
@ tres: It's unfortunate that pitbulls get such a bad rap when chows and even Jack Russel Terriers send more people to the hospital. Yes, JRTs are bitey little shits. I don't think everyone hates pitbulls and then decided to sympathize when they had a poster boy to vilify.
re: bitch
you're just saying that b/c you wish you could fuck him…
hahaha you're prob trash too were you outside supporting him with the 7 jersey on too ?

I love white people who still make attempts at feeling superior while George Bush is President.. How that doesn't dispel all illusions of white supremacy just proves the point.
wrong. kill a human and serve no time (OJ,Ray Lewis,Robert Blake, etc.). kill a few dogs and serve nearly 2 yrs. something wrong with that picture. Killing animals is absolutely wrong but does punishment fit crime?
Yeah, baby! "Dat's" how "we" do! You go, Vick. Good boy. Now your fan base can support you without worrying if you've become too "white". Good boy.
When Vickles gets out of prison, you know he'll be even that much more richer. People love criminals. You watch. I say: Vick gets out of jail and goes back to playing "Pro" ball; say he's rusty and having a hard time making plays or whatever; the NFL should be allowed to hang, or electrocute (or both), Mike for not performing to standard. Amen. At least Vick can blame whitey. And pray to his god.
#1. Vick's jail-name will be "Vicki". Toss that salad, Vicki! Yeah. Eat that ass. Open your mouth.
#17, most pits are put to sleep when they're confiscated because if there's cause to take them away, usually they're too dangerous to adopt out. And I don't think that painless injectable euthanasia is the same as drowning, hanging, starving, and abusing dogs to death at all.
I am VERY glad that this piece of crap is getting jail time (though not nearly enough). Maybe this will serve to make people think twice about participating in this "sport". Asshole.
@19 Good point Jimbo, but I'm thinking Lohan might be better. She's starting to look like a dude now anyway and can carry the woman playing a man playing a woman thing. I also figure she's bound to be tossed back into the clink soon.
I screwed up anyway. The character's name was I was thinking of was The Caretaker. I thought it was Cookie for some reason. I like Nipolian's casting of Kiefer, I forgot he's in the hole these days too.
These days I think any up and coming talent exec working at CAA should do some time too. He could line up some good contracts.
I have a Jack Russel AND a Rot-Pit mix. Neither are dangerous. It mostly has to do with the way the dog was raised.
PS: Vick's a fucking DICK..
That marshal behind him in the pic looks like he is going to be the first one in line to get him a piece of Vick's ass.
I, for one, am not outraged about the dogfighting. not everyone values dogs as much as the average suburbanite might, and I don't think we should all have to treat dogs like they're a human life…but it does seem pretty sick the way he killed them.
this is the best thing that could have happened to vick, though…before he got arrested, people were wondering if he was a bust as a franchise quarterback. now that he's behind bars, people are talking about him like he was the second coming of Joe Montana and its such a tragedy his career is over. Jail/death makes people forget how much you suck.
I so can not wait until this whole deal is over. Vick can do his time, then we can move on. I hope. I just want to see him play in the NFL again for the Green Bay (fudge) Packers. He can take his prison experience to the field and make good use of it. And that is something we can all support.
He was said to be found at a millionaire&celebrity dating club MEETRICH.COM not long before, and he is hot there.Quite a few girls and ladies write to him.
you're dumber than i thought. just because i don't think he's going to get fucked in prison doesn't mean i support him. when have you ever heard of a celebrity getting fucked in prison? never. it doesn't happen cause they get special treatment. now STFU and get your ass back on Aisle 3. There has been a spill you need to mop up.
and stop double posting. it only confirms that you're an idiot.
The punishment absolutely fits the crime. This jerk tortured and murdered innocent defenseless animals. Why does it have to be a racial thing? I don't get it.
ha ha if you only knew.. bitch
ha ha if you only knew.. bitch
ha ha if you only knew.. bitch
bc everythign is racist in this world… it's sickening
if it's not about color it's about STUPIDITY it's always something
I swear it's b/c people get bored with themselves and do not get enough attention so they have to put other people down
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GREAT NEWS, I hope this will have some impact on those other animal abusers in prison. I hope he gets hung and anally electrocuted in jail as he did to those dogs. FUCKER.
He'll be fine in prison. He's black, rich and he's not a rat. Plus he's in for dog fighting, not child molesting. No one in jail is gonna touch this guy.They will be lining up to be his bodyguard.
i agree with 43. but all you haters out there. fuck yall! who the fuck cares about the god damn dogs! they are fucking dogs. the SPCA kills dogs and cats every fucking day and no one hears shit about that. atleast these dogs get to do something. everyone is just a big pussy
#26? Chil', that made absolutely no sense. George Bush is beneath both blacks and whites. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson; well, they're only beneath white people's assholes.
you better retract that statement or lindz will get all judgmental and assume you support micheal vick.
First dog fighting on the outside, now cock fighting on the inside.
Do they still use German Shepherds to patrol prison grounds? I think it would be justice to rub Vick down with bacon fat every day of his 23 months and let the dogs chase him across the yard. I mean, he's pretty fast. It would be reasonably fair. Hell, I'd give him a ten yard head start, plus a football and new sneakers. Put THAT on YouTube and I'd pay to see it.
they should give that fucking asshole the death penalty. as a proud and responsible pit guardian, this angers me even more. drowning, electrocuting, slamming the dogs against pavement, hanging them. how could you fucking do that. if this were a 100 years ago, michael vick would be hanging from a tree in my back yard. he apologized to the children, fuck the children, what about the dogs you brutally murdered? he isn't sorry for what he did, he's just sorry that he got caught.
So here's the thing meatheads ie @44:
The dogs that Vick killed had been beaten and ripped up from fighting and then killed with Vick and friends' bare hands. Animals at the SPCA are put to sleep humanely. The reason people don't get all worked up about that is because the SPCA doesn't brutally kill them.

The various think-tanks, publications, and intellectuals in the ambit of Charles and David Koch use libertarian rhetoric, but mostly to justify state-enhancing programs like the Iraqi occupation, Social Security "privatization," school vouchers, etc. And now this.
More Koch news from a friend: "In this interview with BBC journalist Greg Palast (at 35:10 into it), he details, as he did in the book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, the deal that saved Bill Clinton's presidency: Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and Minority Leader Tom Daschle worked it out like this: the Republicans promised to impeach Bill only for Lewinsky, not for his connections to the Riady family, as long as the Democrats would promise not to prosecute the Koch brothers."1:08 pm on March 25, 2008 Email Llewellyn H.

Ready, Aim, Vita: Black Ops Declassified Vita Bundle Now Available For Pre-Order
Black Ops: Declassified is an odd duck. It, along with Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, are primed to be the PlayStation Vita's saving grace this holiday season. And despite carrying the heavy hitter Call of Duty name, it's not being produced by Activision, or any of the COD regular developers like Treyarch or Infinity Ward. Instead, it's a Sony project, headed up by the sub-par (hey, I really liked it) Resistance: Burning Skies developer, Nihilistic Software.
Still, it should resemble Call of Duty or else Activision wouldn't been keen on allowing the franchise namesake to be tarnished. So have faith. And if you do have faith, now is a good time to pre-order the PlayStation Vita Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified Bundle, which just went on pre-sale at Amazon.com for $249.99. For the same price as a regular Wi-Fi Vita, you'll get Black Ops Declassified essentially for free with this bundle. Pre-order now.

Bona fide residents of Puerto Rico cannot claim deductions and/or credits allocable to or chargeable against Puerto Rican source income that is excluded from a U.S. tax return. The deductions and credits not attributable to specific income must be divided between excluded income from sources in Puerto Rico and income from all other sources to find the part that can be deducted or credited on a U.S. tax return. Examples of deductions that are not attributable to specific income and so must be divided include alimony, the standard deduction, and certain itemized deductions such as medical expenses, charitable contributions, real estate taxes, and mortgage interest on your personal residence. Personal exemptions are generally allowed in full.
If you have taxable Puerto Rican source income on your U.S. income tax return, then you can claim a credit for foreign taxes paid to Puerto Rico. However, you are not allowed to claim a credit for foreign taxes paid with respect to Puerto Rican source income that is excluded from a U.S. tax return. Therefore, to properly calculate your foreign tax credit, you must reduce your foreign taxes paid by the amount of taxes allocable to excluded Puerto Rican source income.
For more information about how to allocate deductions and credits to excluded income, refer to Publication 570, Publication 4281 (PR) (PDF) and Publication 1321 (PDF).

Eminem Collaboration Influences Rihanna's New Music »
10 Questions for Range
R&B crooners tend to portray a classically handsome look—well-groomed in suits and ties—but Range puts a bit of a twist on his outer appearance. See, the Connecticut native sports a fully-inked arm under his T-shirt, yet exudes a gentlemanly vibe as magnetic as a fully-suited Ne-Yo.
Range, the newest balladeer from Jay-Z's Roc Nation camp, will be melting hearts with his smooth crooning when his debut album, No Strings, releases next year. But before the romance, the 24-year-old singer introduces listeners to "Ghetto Dance" featuring Rick Ross—a song he co-produced alongside Stargate and wrote to describe the mesmerizing movements of a female on the dance floor.
Not long after shooting the song's video in Miami, Range relaxes in a chair at the Sony artist lounge in a high-rise towering over midtown Manhattan. He's not the typical singer-songwriter—this dude can also produce. Find out which Southern rapper he's written a hit for, who he's been taking notes from in the studio, and where he heads when the music is done (and it's not the strip club).
1. What's it like to have access to someone like Jay-Z?
2. What is the most appropriate time for someone to break into a "Ghetto Dance" and what does it look like?
3. How did you learn about production?
4. Which song have you written for another artist that you're most proud of?

Sam and Dean head back to St. Louis, Mo. (site of Season 1's "Skin") where they have to figure out a way to help someone who already knows about what they do — the family business. In fact, this police officer once saved the hunters' lives while they worked a case together.
These days, James Frampton is also a witch...one that comes complete with a collared human/canine familiar named Portia. Any Supernatural fan knows that Dean hates witches. Turns out he's not into dogs either. This is definitely not the case for him.
After four really strong episodes ("LARP and the Real Girl", "As Time Goes By", "Everybody Hates Hitler", and "Trial and Error"), I have to admit that I couldn't quite get into this one. "Man's Best Friend with Benefits" was simply OK. I love the title but it was way light on mythology. The case didn't quite hook me. I didn't connect with the humor. Even the Sam and Dean moments couldn't save things for me. I still love Season 8 but you can't win them all.
It was good to see Christian Campbell, however. For those of you who don't know, he's Neve Campbell's older brother, but I probably know him best from the shows Malibu Shores and All My Children. His character (James) was plagued with nightmares where he murdered innocent people. Those dream victims ended up dead for real.
Apparently, it's possible for one witch to control another witch's actions with the goal of making that person think he's a murderer. Who knew? Only thing is the bad guy (Spencer) did it because he was jealous of his "friend" and his beautiful familiar. James and Portia share a strong, unbreakable bond that's emotional, telepathic and physical. Spencer wanted that for himself. He didn't appreciate the fact the soul mates went all Bella and Edward with their relationship. Sigh. Kind of flimsy but I suppose people have done crazier things for much less. Sam and Dean used a witch-killing spell to get rid of the villain of the week. See ya, Spence.
Let's talk about Sam, Dean and the tests. The brothers have a conversation about trust. Sam doesn't feel like Dean trusts him. He thinks Dean only trusts himself. At the end of the episode, Dean comes around and admits to Sam that he's on board with him and the tests and that he does indeed trust his younger brother.
It's like we're rehashing similar conversations from the end of Season 5. I'm not sure this is all about trust. Sometimes it seems that way but mostly I feel Dean is super worried about Sam. And he doesn't want to see Sam suffer. He knows his brother has suffered more than anyone should.
I do think that if Sam wants Dean to trust him then he's going to have to prove he's trustworthy. Right before the credits, Sam coughs up blood. Is he going to come clean and tell his older brother? Or is he going to keep this a secret? If Sam wants to be taken seriously, he's going to need to fess up to Dean. I guess we'll find out his decision next time.
Random Thoughts
-Apparently, Dean didn't know that the "le chat" in Spencer's familiar, Philippe LeChat, means cat in French. And since when was he allergic to cats, by the way? Did we know this?
-I knew Dean didn't want dogs in or around his Baby. I didn't realize he wasn't a dog person at all. I probably should know that, right? Is it because of his history with hellhounds?
-Sam, however, continues to be dog-friendly. That's so him. From when he ran away to Flagstaff when he was younger to the dog from earlier this season...it's easy to see why Portia took an instant liking to Sam.
-Love that Dean mentioned Benny. When are we going to see Ty Olsson again? Inquiring minds want to know.
-I don't think we're ever going to get away from the whole "kill or let monsters go" debate. This time around, Dean felt they had to be ready to gank James or the witch that was doing this to James. After all, people were dying. Sam mentioned this wasn't the first time they gave a monster a free pass. Dean told him the difference was the fact that James made a conscious choice to become supernatural. Benny and Kate (the werewolf from "Bitten") were forced into the life.
-Every time I heard James' last name (Frampton), I wanted to hear a Peter Frampton song. Preferably, "Baby, I Love Your Way."
-I can't believe people bought Dean being a Wiccan from Detroit.
-I liked the astral projection portion of the episode. But not as much as when Spencer messed with Sam and Dean. We saw Sam and Adam falling into Hell (when Sam was Lucifer's meat suit) plus his soulful time in hell. And as for Dean, he saw his mother burning on the ceiling and his own stint in hell. To this day, I still wonder if Dean witnessed his mom's death when he was little.
Supernatural airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on The CW.

Aggggh! I've seen/met about 5 Maisie-Mae's in the last month. Do these parents not realise that Maisie is a nickname for Mae/May, so the name is repeating itself and redundant?!
I've just met my most recent Maisy-Mae at the supermarket this morning. A mum with a pram was behind me in the queue, I asked her name because she was the cutest little thing. It was all I could do to keep my smile frozen and resist the urge to roll my eyes when she said Maisie-Mae!
I think this is a UK thing, I haven't seen it in an US/Aus etc. birth announcements.
Do names like these drive anyone else crazy?

I've encountered a Maisie-Mae and a Macy-Mae, and I don't like it. I'm not keen on the -May/Mae/Mai names as it is, they're pretty common here especially paired with a nicknamey/cutesy sounding name - Gracie-Mai, Evie-Mae, Lily-May etc, they just seem overdone. But Maisie-Mae is just so sing-songy and rhymey as well as repetitive. Not a fan.

Swimmers Hope To Bring Home More Honors
After an impressive first-time performance at last year's NCAA Division II Swimming Championships, the Moccasins are hoping for an even better showing this season.
Last year the Moccasins had an individual national champion (Jeb Halfacre in the 200-yard backstroke) and had eight swimmers earn All-America recognition.
Seven of the eight All-Americans (Halfacre, Miguel Ferreira, Bruce Janzen, Alex Peterson, Anna McIntyre, Cara Potter and Rae-Lynn Sheffield) are returning to this year's championship, which gets underway Wednesday and runs through Saturday at San Antonio, Texas. Joining them are potential multi-national champion Mary O'Sullivan, Lisa Menne, Taylor Reynolds, Missy Witt, Zach Edwards and Walter Rumans.
Daily results will be available at the NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championships page at www.ncaa.com.

The immunosuppressive drug rapamycin has been shown to increase longevity in mice even when treatment begins at an advanced age. It is unclear if the extension of life also correlates with prolonged health and vigor.
In the current issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Dan Ehninger and colleagues at the German Center for Neurodegenrative Diseases evaluated age-associated characteristics in mice treated with rapamycin. They found that rapamycin improved memory and spatial learning, reduced thyroid follicle size, and reduced body fat in older mice. However, many of these same attributes were also improved in young mice treated with the drug, indicating an age-independent drug effect.
The prevalence of cancer, a common cause of mouse mortality, was also decreased in older treated mice. The authors did find that rapamycin treatment had no effect on several age related symptoms, including cardiovascular and liver function, loss of muscle mass, strength retention, or balance.
These data suggest that rapamycin treatment may increase lifespan through reduction of cancer rates, and the drug may be useful for relief of some age related conditions.
In the accompanying commentary, Arlan Richards of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio suggests that clinical trials to study the effect of rapamycin on age related neurodegenerative diseases of the elderly such as Alzheimer's disease should be considered.

Shaheed Devji is a communication professional with a variety of specializations including: hosting, broadcasting, journalism, filmmaking and digital video.
Since he was very young, Shaheed Devji's strongest skill has been communicating. This may be a surprise to his parents and relatives, who will tell you that as a kid Shaheed was reserved and shy. But there's no question that when Shaheed wanted to – like when he decided on impromptu Jim Carey impersonations – he could captivate an audience with his ability to communicate. And now, he has made a career out of it.
Born and raised in Nanaimo, British Columbia, the son of two immigrant parents from East Africa, Shaheed attended Ecole Pauline Haarer Elementary before enrolling in and graduating from Nanaimo District Secondary School as his class co-valedictorian. He then moved away from Vancouver Island to the mainland for his post-secondary education at Simon Fraser University where he grauduated with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Communication.
During his time at SFU, Shaheed and one of his classmates and now TSN reporter/anchor, Nabil Karim, started a sports podcast – The Press Box – to get their (self-induced) start in broadcasting. The podcast had five seasons and the duo, along with their subsequent counterparts and co-hosts covered the NHL, CFL, WHL, and much more through commentary, interviews, feature stories and blog posts.
After his time at SFU, Shaheed attended the British Columbia Institute of Technology where he received a Diploma in Broadcast Journalism and graduated with distinction. Shaheed completed the two-year program in just one and a half years, after being offered and taking a job as a news videojournalist with CTV Southwestern Ontario in Kitchener, Ontario.
During his time at CTV in Kitchener, Shaheed reported and shot news and sports stories and anchored and produced news and sportscasts. He covered visits by the Prime Minister of Canada, the provincial election campaign, produced various investigative series, and local sports. After spending nearly a year in Kitchener, Shaheed was offered a job as a news reporter with CTV British Columbia back in what had become his hometown of Vancouver, BC.
Shaheed was thrust into his job immediately, covering breaking news of a plane crash at the Vancouver International Airport in his first week of work. During this coverage, Shaheed reported live several times in a two-hour span, while reporting and packaging a story for the late newscast. After a stint as a content and communication coordinator, creating videos and articles at the Richmond Olympic Oval, Shaheed was hired as a sports anchor and reporter at Vancouver Island's longest serving television station, CHEK. In his role with CHEK News, he regularly reports and produces local sports stories, anchors sportscasts and as well as continuing his news reporting duties.
A die-hard and life-long sports fan, many of Shaheed's career highlights revolve around sports. At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, he was a reporter for the Olympic News Service, covering men's and women's hockey at Canada Hockey Place (now Roger's Arena). Shaheed regularly took part in mixed-zone scrums with athletes as well as pre- and post-game press conferences with coaches and management. The highlight was doing this for – and not to mention watching – the men's and women's gold medal games (which were both won by host Canada). He has also spent a significant amount of time doing sports play-by-play, one of his earliest passions of broadcasting, having been the primary broadcaster of Simon Fraser University Athletics for several years, calling games for the men's hockey team, men's and women's soccer teams, and the men's football team in its inaugural season in the NCAA.
Shaheed takes distinct pleasure in a live environment and in front of an audience. He particularly enjoys emceeing and hosting events and programs. He also has a keen interest in videography and filmmaking. He is the principal of a private production company, Mecca Creative, in which he produces commercial, private and documentary style videos.
Shaheed is a Shia Ismaili Muslim. He speaks both English and French. He married his girlfriend of 7 years, Sheeba, in 2012 and has one brother, Farhan, who is also a journalist.
