Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 1/31/2012
If you're ready for a big, sturdy SUV, the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 may be the perfect answer. These days, SUVs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from the more compact crossovers to full-size behemoths, and if you're just driving the kids back and forth from soccer practice, you don't necessarily need that much SUV. If you do want an SUV that's truly worthy of the name, that's versatile enough to do the smaller jobs but do all the big jobs too, take a look at the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500.
The Yukon XL SUV is a big, reliable vehicle. It's got as much space as you're likely to need, unless you're transporting an army. With seating for up to nine and an enormous cargo area, you're not going to fill this SUV up very fast, and with massive towing capacity, the 2012 GMC Yukon XL is ready for any task you have prepared for it.
Of course, the Yukon XL SUV makes a fine family vehicle when called upon as well. It offers a smooth ride and has an attractive, comfortable interior, so if you want to tow your motorboat out to the country for the weekend, then come back and haul a ton of lumber to your jobsite, you've got the vehicle for it right here. The 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 comes in either the SLE or SLT trim.
The GMC Yukon is not a vehicle known for frequently updating its design. This is an SUV that was designed from the beginning to do exactly what it needs to do. That being said, you will find some exciting new options, including:
The 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 has a big, long, somewhat boxy shape that fits in well with its character as a heavy-duty, full-size SUV. The exterior of the Yukon XL features a roof rack, privacy glass, a manual flip-up liftgate window and rear liftgate doors, skid plates, and step running boards. There's a trailer hitch with trailer wiring, and you'll find 17-inch alloy wheels underneath. Exterior options include a power sunroof and heated power camper mirrors. Exterior body colors include Crystal Red Tintcoat, Quicksilver Metallic, Onyx Black, and Summit White.
The interior of the GMC Yukon XL 2500 is, quite frankly, enormous, with standard seating for eight, with an option for nine. You'll enjoy an ample 41.3 inches of front leg room and 40.3 inches of front head room. Seating configurations include either bucket front seats or a 40/20/40 split-bench front, followed by two Captains' chairs or a 60/40 split bench, and a third-row seat designed for three passengers. There's a ton of room for cargo as well, 45.8 cubic feet with seats in place expandable to up to 137.4 cubic feet with the second row folded down and the third-row seats removed. A maximum payload of 2181 pounds on the SLE and 2450 pounds on the SLT means you can really pack up the Yukon if you need to.
You'll also find an impressive array of interior features, the likes of which you're more likely to expect to find in a luxury sedan. These include keyless entry, six-way power front seats with adjustable lumbar support, dual-zone climate control, a trip computer, and eight-speaker sound for satellite radio, a CD player, and the ability to play iPods and USB connected devices. Bluetooth connectivity is also provided. The upgraded SLT also offers power bucket front seats, tri-zone climate control, nine-speaker Bose sound, and rear park assist, along with full leather upholstery. Yukon XL 2500 owners with hyperactive young family members will appreciate the option for an upscale rear-seat entertainment system with two screens for DVD viewing. OnStar navigation and roadside assistance is also available with the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500.
The Yukon XL received five stars in government crash tests for frontal and side protection, the highest possible rating. Brakes are not as responsive as you might like, stopping from 60 mph in about 145 feet. A blind spot alert system is an option on the Yukon XL. One of the most useful safety features available with the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 is the OnStar service. OnStar can provide rapid emergency roadside assistance and crash response, as well as stolen vehicle tracking.
Other safety features on the 2500 include four-wheel anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, electronic brakeforce distribution, front and rear ventilated disc brakes, and plenty of airbags, including front, rear, and third-row head airbags and dual front side-mounted airbags. Child safety locks and seat anchors as well as an engine immobilizer and alarm system are also standard with the Yukon XL.
What's nice about the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 is that with its powerful engine, you'll still always feel in control and not weighed down, even when carrying or towing big loads, especially if you opt for the all-wheel drive. You won't exactly enjoy superior handling, but you'll get a comfortable, quiet ride with satisfying speed and acceleration. That power comes from a 6.0-liter, V-8 engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission, which delivers 352 horsepower and 382 lb-ft of torque. You probably won't be too surprised to learn that fuel economy is somewhat weak, on the GMC Yukon XL 2500, allowing only about 10/16 mpg city/highway, 10/15 mpg city/highway on the all-wheel drive models, but you'll appreciate the mighty towing capacity of up to 9600 pounds on this all-purpose machine.

Despite the Election Day hoopla, the political environment for American small-business owners is virtually unchanged from Nov. 6. Many of the challenges they've long faced still loom large: An administration hostile to free enterprise ("You didn't build that…"), an earnings-looting plunge over the Fiscal Tax Cliff, an unworkable mandated healthcare law and the promise of more complex federal regulations.
According to the National Federation of Independent Business, optimism among owners is wallowing at recession levels due to fears of bolder government and the continuing fog of economic uncertainty billowing out of Washington, D.C.
Is it any wonder that small-business owners are now operating in "maintenance mode," not hiring, expanding or ordering more inventories until responsible leadership returns to the nation's capital?
And even though they're very disappointed with the results of Tuesday's election, they're proud of the fight they put up during the election. What's more, they're determined to keep fighting as long as there is one elected official in Washington or a state capital for that matter, who doesn't appreciate the valuable contributions they bring to the American system of free enterprise.
Ever in search of the positive, these free enterprise practitioners see a silver lining in the Nov. 6 balloting. There were some real small business advances, particularly in many states which elected pro-small-business legislatures and governors, and more small-business owners to offices than ever before.
In meaningful numbers, owners all across the country stepped up to run for office, spending their own money engaging in the political process with great intensity. Most importantly, they stood firm and spoke out against some of the most abusive and disrespectful politics that have ever been leveled at job creators.
This courage bodes well for free enterprise and for the future of our country. It sends a strong signal that they demand to be heard and refuse to be intimidated.
Why did they fight so hard with so much passion during this election? Because their businesses are much more than places to make a living. Those little firms are also their families' foundations. They're also stages upon which entrepreneurs can demonstrate free enterprise values for their children and exhibit meaningful jobs and life-improving experiences for employees.
That's why NFIB's "I Built My Business" bus tour attracted lots of public attention. When President Obama questioned Main Street's ability, determination and commitment by charging… "You didn't build that…" business on your own, that was the last straw for millions of them.
The election's results might feel like a harsh blow to small-business owners, but they aren't going to slink away quietly without a fight. Owners anticipate and are ready to meet some very difficult battles with the administration and its congressional supporters in the days ahead. But they're no strangers to such struggles. As entrepreneurs who've survived the challenges of starting and running a small business, they aren't quitters. In fact, the tougher the challenge, the more invigorated they become.

Canada | First among soccer nations
A Canadian all-star soccer team—one member getting ready to light a cigarette—poses in front of totem poles, Stanley Park, Vancouver, ca. 1924. The four totem poles were placed early in the 1920s to mark the area's long habitation by peoples of West Canada's First Nations. (Stuart Thomson, City of Vancouver Archives)
Beckham, on Vancouver swing, tries football by Canadian rules
Vancouver, British Columbia | As usual, David Beckham's North American barnstorming circuit—with a stop tonight at BC Place Stadium—to us raises more interest in pre-existing soccer traditions than in the soccer actually being played (see Jan 22).
True, the exhibition at 1900 PST between LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps, of the United Soccer Leagues' first division, poses an important fitness test for Beckham in advance of England's final Euro 2008 qualifier, versus Croatia, on Nov 21. For Vancouver, the side evaluates new players and demonstrates the economic potential and native appeal of a sport that sometimes appears subsumed by Canadian rules football, the country's gridiron variant, and ice hockey. Some 42,000 tickets have been sold for the game under the air-supported dome that the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League call home.
The Whitecaps, birthed in the North American Soccer League in 1974, have engendered devotion and claimed the city's first major North American title by winning the 1979 Soccer Bowl. An estimated 100,000 paraded on Robson Street downtown.
Former NASL president Clive Toye, in his memoir A Kick in the Grass (St. Johann, 2006), refers to the "maelstrom of Vancouver" when writing about the hijinks during the three-game league quarterfinals with Toronto, in 1983. Whitecaps goalkeeper Tino Lettieri favored a stuffed toy parrot as mascot, which he placed at the back of his net. Toye, president of the Toronto Blizzard at the time, hired men to place a "parrot burial kit" by Lettieri's goal and tried to relax his team by screening Monty Python's dead-parrot sketch in the changing room before the final match. Toye calls it "the team talk to end all team talks."
Toye tried to play the animus between eastern and western Canada to his advantage, but both Ontario and British Columbia can claim distinctive soccer cultures. Toronto FC, despite a Major League Soccer–record 824 minutes without a goal, boasted the league's most fervent supporters in its inaugural season. Contacts in Vancouver write about the frat-house atmosphere during World Cups, when the city's many ethnicities—a municipal phone line provides information in English, Chinese, Punjabi, Spanish and Vietnamese—hang flags from balconies and help create a carnival spirit. The city maintains realistic expectation for an MLS expansion team in the near future, if Whitecaps officials can negotiate space for and build a new stadium.
The Canadian men's team itself has participated in the World Cup once, in 1986, having developed a generation of players through the NASL before the league folded in 1984. In the finals in Mexico, Canada went scoreless in three losses to France, Hungary and the Soviet Union.
"Northern Lights," an etching and aquatint by Inuit artist Germaine Arnaktauyok, depicts the arsarnerit legend, in which Inuit ancestors play football with a walrus skull.
As they did in parts of Africa and Latin America, British miners established football in British Columbia three decades after the province joined the Confederation of Canada in 1871. The sport helped unite mining communities such as Nanaimo, Cumberland and Ladysmith on Vancouver Island.
But ball games had indigenous roots in the northern tier, as they did in Mesoamerica. Mark Nuttall, a University of Alberta anthropologist, has detailed European explorers' and researchers' intersections with football-playing Inuit. "In The Central Eskimo," Nuttall writes, "Franz Boas described ball games (and recorded songs about ball games, including football) played by the Inuit of southern Baffin Island in the Eastern Canadian Arctic in the 1880s." The ball, according to Boas, consisted of moss-stuffed sealskin. Boas goes on to describe a juggling game, seemingly a variant of the Inuit game of akraurak or aqijut, played on Ulukhaktok, also known as Holman Island, in the Northwest Territories.
According to Kendall Blanchard in The Anthropology of Sport: An Introduction (Bergin Garvey/Greenwood, 1995), akraurak is contested between goals that are "markings in the snow at unspecified distances from each other. Teams kick the ball up and down the field, the object being to drive it across the goal line of an opponent. The game is played predominantly in the spring and summer months, and everyone, regardless of sex or age, may participate" (150).
As Nuttall also writes, Inuit from Greenland and across the Arctic see in aurora borealis, the northern lights, the souls of ancestors. They call these heavenly apparitions arsarnerit, or "the football players."
Among First Nations, who are distinct from Inuit and another Canadian indigeneous group, the Métis, it is harder to identify a precursor to modern football. Traditions of leisure and games, however, form part of the cyclical life pattern characteristic of aboriginal culture. Recurring competitions such as the Arctic Games and North American Indigenous Games feature traditional sports as well as soccer. Started in 1990, the latter includes more than 9,000 participants in sport and cultural events.
Around Queen Charlotte Strait, on the northern end of Vancouver Island and in mainland BC, a First Nations soccer league has existed since 1958. The Twin Arrows team of young Bahá'í joined the league six years ago. (Copyright © 2006 Bahá'í World News Service)
A report from the Bahá'í World News Service on a soccer league of tribal communities on Vancouver Island contains the tantalizing historical nugget that such games might have been a means of subverting the Canadian government's ban on potlatch in western provinces. The potlatch consisted of games, ceremonies and feasts that served to order intra- and inter-tribal relations and to mark rites of passage, but missionaries' alarming reports about the "demonic" practices helped lead to the restrictions that endured until 1951. Another characteristic feature of western First Nations' cultural practice—the totem pole—typically is erected during potlatch.
"The game of soccer is an institution in many of the native communities," said Sonny Voyageur during the 2006 Musgamagw Cup, a First Nations–Bahá'í competition ("First Nations and Baha'i Youth Bond through Soccer," 19 Sept 06). He adds that tribes early in the 20th century employed soccer—perhaps having gained knowledge of the rules via expatriate Europeans—as a way to congregate in the face of laws against traditional ceremonies.
Sonny Voyageur's brother Pudlidi (Ivan Voyageur) says in e-mail correspondence that potlatches generally coincided with sporting contests at Alert Bay in the summers of his youth. But he could not confirm that soccer served as a long-standing tool of resistance. Similarly, Colin Jose, historian for the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum, said in a conversation Nov 6 that while First Nations communities certainly played soccer early on, "apart from that we know very little."
Generalizing about First Nations practice, of course, is perilous business. More than 600 First Nations governments exist in Canada, or a total of 756,700 people, according to the Assembly of First Nations. In British Columbia alone there are 198, with more than 30 native languages spoken. In what has been called the most complicated treaty negotiation in Canada's history, aboriginal land rights and title still are being adjudicated with many native bands (see Justine Hunter, "Land-Claims Decision Could Rock Treaty Process," Globe and Mail, Nov 5). And while four First Nations—Lil'wat, Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh—have signed on as hosting partners of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, seeing the Games as an opportunity for brand building, others view the event "as a threat to dwindling resources and the beginning of the end for their traditional way of life" (Travis Lupick, "First Nations Divided Over 2010 Olympic Games," The Georgia Straight, Nov 1).
Still, write Donald Reid and Sue Welke, aboriginal people "have had a great deal of difficulty gaining and holding the attention of the Canadian people." If not ignored, native communities seem always vulnerable to misreading wherever interlopers have invaded and crushed indigenous practice. The value that native cultures give to the spoken word, for example—sometimes expressing itself as a "pensive delay" before speech—"has often been misinterpreted by Euro-Americans as an act of withdrawing. It has also created a stereotypical portrayal of Native Americans as silent and stoic people," writes Grace Girard.
In the sphere of leisure, if First Nations people are seen to abandon traditional sports for ice hockey or soccer, for instance, they often are branded as cultural assimilators. Curiously, First Nations customs related to potlatch and recreation have historically been appropriated by whites to claim a more authentic version of reality. Native sports such as lacrosse and snowshoeing were adopted, writes Gillian Poulter, to build an idea of Canadian distinctiveness.
Historian Sharon Wall and others have documented the long-standing practice of "playing Indian" at summer camp. Such youth retreats in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada and the United States appropriated bogus aboriginal names and invented native ceremonies that said more about middle-class and upper-middle-class cultural aspirations than they did about authentic custom. Wall writes:
[A]s white campers played at being Indian, contemporary Native children were the target of aggressive campaigns aimed to rid them of their "Indian-ness." Did campers have any idea, one wonders, that as [camp] directors donned Native headdresses, state laws attempted to bar Aboriginal peoples from appearing publicly in traditional dress? Were they ever aware that as they enthusiastically participated in Indian rituals, Native bands in western provinces were prohibited from holding their own sundance or potlatch ceremonies? (539)
While the definitive account of the First Nations relationship to soccer has yet to be written, historian and author Jose has identified two prominent footballers with aboriginal roots: David Greyeyes (1914–96) of the Cree Nation, who played and toured with the Saskatchewan All-Stars in matches against various English sides, and Terry Felix (Coast Salish), billed as the NASL's first player of native heritage when he signed for Vancouver in the early 1980s. Felix also played for the Canadian Olympic and national teams.
Certainly there have long been regional teams competing in Vancouver and British Columbia, and we do not know if these included First Nations participants. Commercial photographer Stuart Thomson (see the image at the top of this article) chronicled soccer games in the 1920s, and Thomson's images of barnstorming baseball teams continue to turn up—most recently, rare prints of the American Giants, a black team from Chicago that toured the West Coast 90 years ago (Tom Hawthorn, "A Storied Portrait of a Team Set Apart," Globe and Mail, Oct 31).
Hawthorn writes that "Vancouver has a long history as a stop for travelling sports teams in search of an audience," although Richard Howes, editor of BC Soccer Web, writes that the Beckham visit would not feature in a list of "farcical historical examples" such as the touring baseball Bloomer Girls, who also featured cross-dressers.
Beckham himself has been the subject of gender-bending analysis in Britain, but the most incisive approach may come from Globe and Mail television critic and Guardian Sport Blog contributor John Doyle. Often it takes an interpreter from the north, a witness to the excesses of the cultural colossus to the south, to provide a clear reading. For Doyle, "Beckham may be the worst possible face of soccer in the U.S." ("Even David Beckham Can't Sell Soccer in the States," Nov 5).
Soccer acts as a cultural divide. On the one hand, interest in the game and support for its expansion signals a progressive attitude, a willingness to see the U.S. as part of the larger world, not an isolated place, smug in its status as a world power.
On the other hand, skepticism and even derision for soccer signals American traditionalism. It is a kind of signifier for Republican attitudes. That attitude amounts to hard-line beliefs that the United States is the strongest country in the world, and its sports—NFL football, major league baseball, NBA Basketball—are the best sports. They are manly games that require strength, skill and masculine fortitude.
Beckham, the metrosexual figure, the stylish man who embraces his own popularity with the gay community, is actually a divisive figure in American culture.
Again, Beckham continues to surprise. Plain-spoken and careful never to transgress, he nevertheless serves as a convenient figure for exegesis within the cultural settings through which he moves. "A great deal of meaning can be extrapolated from his stature," Doyle continues.
As testament to Beckham's popularity, B.C. Ferries had to add late trips to its sailing schedule on match night. Ever a tempestuous and opinionated region, though, there were skeptics. "[W]hy do they suddenly care when there's a Beckham game?" reads one comment at the Victoria Times Colonist website. "Is somebody at BC Ferries getting a kickback, or are they palsy with Posh, or what?"

Perhaps the most stultifying "highlights" video in the history of world football.

Valpo man arrested, Illinois trucker dies in I-94 crash
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com April 25, 2013 10:18AM
LaPorte County-Indiana State Police responded to a three vehicle crash, involving two semis, which closed I-94 for approximately two hours, and killed one of the semi drivers early Thursday April 25, 2013. | Provided photo~Sun-Times Media
Updated: April 25, 2013 11:09AM
MICHIGAN CITY — A trucker from Olympia Fields, Ill., died early Thursday after a drunken driver from Valparaiso stopped his car in the middle of a lane on Interstate 94.
State police said Steven Lunn, 52, was extricated from his 2006 Freightliner and pronounced dead at the scene from massive trauma by the LaPorte County coroner.
The incident unfolded when trucker George A. Leeth St., 37, of Hammond called 911 to report a motorist driving erratically off and onto the road with speeds varying from 25 to 60 mph in the eastbound lanes.
The 2006 Audi, driven by Howard B. Gutenstein, 47, of Valparaiso, stopped in the middle of the right lane, about 2-1/2 miles west of the Indiana-Michigan state line. Police said Gutenstein got out of his vehicle and began to walk around.
Leeth activated his four-way emergency hazard lights and stopped behind the Audi. Leeth left his truck and told Gutenstein to get back inside his car.
As Leeth got back into his truck, Lunn's truck struck his box trailer, pushing it into the rear of the Audi.
Lunn's tanker truck, which contained ethanol, swerved to the right to avoid Leeth's truck. The impact with Leeth's trailer caused Lunn's cab to come to rest in the right lane with the tanker on the outer shoulder, police said. Lunn's truck is owned by Langer Transport of New Jersey.
Leeth was taken to Saint Anthony Health Michigan City for non-life threatening injuries. Leeth's truck is owned by Fore Transportation out of Harvey, Ill., and it was loaded with perishable food. No load was lost.
Gutenstein was not injured. and police said he had a blood alcohol content of 0.13 percent. Gutenstein was taken to LaPorte County Jail where he was charged with operating while intoxicated causing death, a Class C felony and endangering, a Class A misdemeanor.
Traffic was diverted off I-94 at Indiana 421 until 4 a.m. when the left lane reopened; all lanes re-opened at 7 a.m.

Hi. The Brewers are one game over .500 for the first time in the history of baseball (or so it seems) and are suddenly very much in the Wild Card Race. This is happening. So let's talk about betting on them to win the World Series.
Brewers World Series Betting Odds (OddsShark.com)
November 11, 2011: 22/1
March 6, 2012: 28/1
April 22, 2012: 35/1
May 28, 2012: 60/1
July 3, 2012: 65/1
August 20th, 2012: 300/1
As a fan it's not hard to see why things got like this. The Brewers just got worse and worse and their inability to win on a regular basis is well documented. You could have put the Brewers at a million to one on August 20th and not a lot of people would have jumped on it. Not after the K-Rod: closer experiment. Not after being swept by the Rockies. Not after dropping two of three to the Phillies. The Brewers were done. They were playing out the string. They were biding their time until the offseason. Then they got hot and..
Brewers World Series Betting Odds (Bovado)
The Brewers making the playoffs is still a long shot. Despite being three games out their playoff odds sit at only 7.1 percent. The Cardinals and Dodgers start a four game series tomorrow (a series that suddenly looks like Timmy vs. Jimmy) that could see one of the two take a big chunk out of the other and take a big lead. After that the Cardinals play nine against the Astros and Cubs that could see them lock this thing up. Meanwhile, the Pirates start a four game series against the Cubs and then head home to face off against the Brewers in a series that could decide one of the two team's playoff fate, then move on to face the Astros. Basically what I am trying to say is that the Cubs and Astros suckiness could ruin things for everyone. We're having a lot of fun right now, but it's pretty hard to expect the Cubs to do anything to help us out. They're like a Cubs fan who gets you pregnant. Don't expect any help or monetary support. We're on our own. Read the rest of this entry »

In 1937 appearance, Joyce joined Hungarians 'in the middle'
June 16 is Bloomsday, a secular Irish holiday commemorating Leopold Bloom's pub-crawling, spouse-avoiding, self-pleasuring peregrination through Dublin on 16 Jun 1904—selected by James Joyce as the day, in Ulysses, that Bloom and his mundane existence take on epic scale, corresponding in outline to Odysseus's 10-year trek back to Ithaca.
Joyce writes about Gaelic football early in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man—"after every charge and thud of the footballers the greasy leather orb flew like a heavy bird through the grey light." Still more significant, given the ongoing European Championships and associated cultural programming, is an extraordinary literary encounter in Paris in Feb 1937. Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov—the up-and-coming Russian exile yet to find his niche in English-language literature and lepidoptera at Cornell University—and the Hungarian national football team crossed paths for perhaps the only time.
Joyce lived in Trieste—then part of Austria-Hungary—while writing Ulysses, a book in which football does not feature. The statue is on the Ponterosso, near the Hotel James Joyce. |
The circumstances, as one might guess, were unusual. Nabokov and Joyce had not met formally, yet Joyce felt called to attend Nabokov's lecture honoring the centenary of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin's death. Nabokov, then 37, filled in for a female Hungarian novelist, word of whose illness had yet to trickle through the expatriate Hungarian population. That contingent, on this night, apparently included a critical mass of literarily inclined footballers. Nabokov, in Strong Opinions, confesses his nervousness before the event but was heartened by "the sight of Joyce sitting, arms folded and glasses glinting, in the midst of the Hungarian football team." He continues in a later interview:
[T]here in the middle of the Hungarian soccer team sat Joyce—he was a rather small man, you know—and he sat there with his dark glasses on and his cane and paid perfect attention to my lecture.
So many questions jump to the fore it is difficult to set them all down. Why was Nabokov certain that this was the Hungarian national team? Did they introduce themselves as such? Did he know them on sight? Were they wearing Hungarian kit? Or was this a soccer team, of unknown provenance, consisting in the main of Hungarians? A touring club side? An age-group team? Did they ask questions of Nabokov? Were they disappointed that the Hungarian novelist had not shown up? Had Nabokov (or Joyce) invited the footballers?
FIFA records do not indicate fixtures for Hungary in this time period. The Hungarian side's previous competitive match had been in Dec 1936—coincidentally, a friendly in Dublin against the Irish Free State, which endured from 1922–37. Hungary won 3–2. The senior team would not play a competitive game again until Apr 1937, the month and year of Ferenc Puskás's birth. At the 1938 World Cup final—which was in Paris—Hungary lost 2–4 to Italy.
We know that Nabokov, a native of Saint Petersburg, was a fan and player; Joyce was not. At some length, Nabokov writes in Conclusive Evidence and also in the revised version of his autobiography, Speak, Memory, about a fondness for tending goal that blossomed at Cambridge: "[S]occer has remained a wind-swept clearing in the middle of a rather muddled period." He continues:
I was crazy about goal keeping. In Russia and the Latin countries, that gallant art had been always surrounded with an aura of singular glamor. Aloof, solitary, impassive, the crack goalie is followed in the streets by entranced small boys. He vies with the matador and the flying ace as an object of thrilled adulation. His sweater, his peaked cap, his knee-guards, the gloves protruding from the hip-pocket of his shorts, set him apart from the rest of the team. He is the lone eagle, the man of mystery, the last defender.
Out of the blue, footballers sometimes wander through Nabokov's prose. In commentary on John Shade's third canto in Pale Fire, Nabokov writes about two expatriate Russians who visit the mythical kingdom of Zembla as contract workers:
It was delightful to watch the two splendid Sovietchiks running about in the yard and kicking a chalk-dusty, thumping-tight soccer ball (looking so large and bald in such surroundings). Andronnikov could tap-play it on his toe up and down a dozen times before punting it rocket straight into the melancholy, surprised, bleached, harmless heavens; and Niagarin could imitate to perfection the mannerisms of a certain stupendous Dynamo goalkeeper.
Children playing football in Karl-Marx-Hof, Vienna, 1932, taking advantage of the space available in the Vorstädte. In describing a Viennese football boom in the early 20th century, author David Goldblatt writes of "innumerable kickabouts and neighbourhood contests" in these unclaimed industrial tracts. (IMAGNO | ÖNB | Lothar Rübelt) |
While such musings are digressive—more like an aside than a sustainable trope—major competitions such as Euro 2008 regularly inspire creativity on the part of hosts eager to demonstrate legitimacy as a culture concerned with more than mere sport. Austria, nervous about its performance on the pitch, mounted a literary festival and related football tournament. Péter Zilahy captained the Hungarian writers' team to victory and, in an article for the Observer, noted how the country's cultural achievements might answer an ingrained fascination with failure: "Although we're not always brilliant at football, like the English we are superb at coming up with excuses, seeking victories in the rhetorical sense."
At Vienna's Technisches Museum, "herz:rasen—die Fußballausstellung" ("racing:heart—The Football Exhibit") presents artistic and historical responses to the sport, with Austrian accent. For example, an interactive station lets visitors see if they can overturn Austria's shock 0–1 loss to Faroe Islands in Euro 1992 qualifying. The Vienna Independent Shorts cinema program in May offered 11 films of Swiss and Austrian origin, including documentary and drama.
A community theater in Dornach, Switzerland, presents a specially commissioned musical, TraumBall 4/2/4 (DreamBall 4-2-4), featuring the unlikely union of legendary Jewish Hungarian manager Béla Guttmann with Sophia Loren. They guide a young lad in search of his football heroes (see video), including Puskás and Eusébio, whom Guttmann mentored during his European Cup–winning years at Benfica. Czech author Eduard Bass's 1922 novel Klapzuba's Eleven has been adapted for the stage by the husband-wife team of Jean-Luc Bideau and Marcela Salivarova-Bideau. The show runs Jun 17–28 at Theater Saint-Gervais in Geneva (see AFP video).
One of the most substantive explorations appears to be the "Hors Jeu" ("Offside") exhibit at the Musée d'Ethnographie de Genève, which runs through 26 Apr 09. Curators, obviously with long lead time, contacted craftsmen in Côte d'Ivoire to carve totems, from rubber trees, representing a holy pantheon of world football: Diego Maradona ("God"), Joseph "Sepp" Blatter ("Pope"), Michel Platini ("Cardinal") and Victoria Beckham ("Courtesan"). The figurines take an active role, according to exhibition curator Christian Delecraz: "They question the visitor: 'Is football a good lens through which we can try and make sense of what's going on in our world?' "
The "Hors Jeu" exhibit in Geneva, which looks at football "through an anthropological lens," covers totemic aspects. Some players carry gris-gris (talismans) or wear lucky undergarments. An Italy supporter carried this doll at the 2006 World Cup—pins presumably placed ex post facto, following the Zidane-Materazzi incident. (Musée d'Ethnographie de Genève) |
But of all the literary, musical and visual inspirations on view, among the most thoughtful words come from Turkish author Orhan Pamuk. In an interview with Der Spiegel ("Football Is Faster Than Words," Jun 4), the Nobel Prize winner—again, a writer who occasionally lets football take a scene-setting or background role in his fiction—confesses his conflicted views. On one hand, Pamuk says, football has offered him community. Yet his imaginary football has suffered from attendant "nationalism, xenophobia and authoritarian thinking," particularly in Turkey, where the game has been a tool for nation builders—even before its stunning, Euro 08–saving victory over the Czech Republic on Jun 15. In Pamuk's novel Snow, "secret confessions of a national goalkeeper" form part of a patriotic stage production at the National Theater in Kars.
Pamuk has stored his affections in memory. Of seeing Fenerbahçe matches with his father, Pamuk likens the players in yellow strip to canaries, "fluttering into the stadium out of a hole":
I can still recite the entire lineup of the 1959 Fenerbahçe team like a poem. Of course, it has something to do with identifying with my father. We always sat in the main stands next to the VIPs, who looked like capitalists from a Bertolt Brecht play. Throughout the match they smoked cigars, a sign of great wealth at the time, and because a breeze from the Bosporus was constantly blowing into the stadium, the smoke made my eyes tear up.
We issue a call to playwrights around the world. If football can fire such recollection, the cast of 1937 Hungarian players now cries out for rebirth. Why not a reenactment, with these kitted-out Magyars as intermediaries, of the Joyce-Nabokov meeting on its 75th anniversary … in 2012 in Kyiv?

Manatee Springs State Park
Occasionally the river waters rise which in turn, makes the spring waters rise as seen along the trunk of this Cypress Tree.
One can only wonder what this Great Egret is pondering along the shores of the Spring Run.
Swim and snorkel to view abundant underwater life in the Manatee Spring.
Late afternoon sun shines on the Cypress that line the shores of the Suwannee, bringing out the colors of early Autumn.
Reflections of Cypress trees and knees in the Blue-toned waters at the spring. Even though the water is clear, it takes on different shades as the light changes throughout the day.
Catfish hotel isn't a hotel, but rather a popular place for certified divers. With proper certification, you can open water, cavern, and cave dive and view centuries of lime rock formations and underwater life.
Vultures are a common site at Manatee Springs. The Turkey Vulture is here year round while the Black Vulture migrates here in the Winter. They can often be seen in Cypress trees along the Suwannee River.
The fire is almost ready for grilling. All of the sites have fire rings that have grills already in place. Easy campfire cooking.
The cypress needles have discolored to a burnt sienna in this photo taken during autumn at Manatee Springs. A great Egret hunts for fish along the shores of the Spring Run.

There are unfortunately, several problems that are seen on a regular basis when adopting a rescued laboratory Beagle. These include but do not exceed: Harder time house training, fear of new surfaces such as grass, hardwood, tile, ect; fear of stranger's, anxiety when left alone, harder time to crate train if you chose to put him/her back in a cage. As well as O.C.D problems such as chasing of the tail, chewing on one's self, scratching at one spot constantly, and chattering he/her teeth. But, the great thing about adopting a laboratory Beagle is that they just need love and affection and someone to show them that they will not be hurt anymore. Most come around within a year of being rescued, while other's have problems for the rest of their lives. But the rescue that has them up for adoption will be able to help you choose a dog that will work with the level of training/socialization you want to/can do.12/17/2014 9:08:23 AM
The Olde English Pocket Beagle is much the same as it's 13 inch and 15 inch counter-parts. The only differences breeders are making are the height and weight of the dog. They aren't yappy dogs, but they do have three distinct vocalizations — a bark/growl, a baying howl and a half-baying howl (a cross between a frantic bark and a bay). The half-howl vocalization is usually reserved for when they catch sight of quarry, or decide to wake the neighbors at 6 a.m.! This breed, like the 13 inch and 15 inch Beagle are hard to train and can be stubborn. They have been known to need a year or more to house-train and need at least an hour's exercise a day, on leash to ensure your Beagle doesn't get into anything he/she isn't supposed too.10/21/2014 10:16:58 AM
Aggression is no laughing matter. You should contact your vet for an appointment a.s.a.p. Pain could be the cause. If that is ruled out, then contacting your local Dog Behaviorist is the next step to assessing why your dog has become aggressive and what you can do to change his behavior. 7/9/2014 2:44:30 PM

Yes beagles bark a lot more then a regular dog barks the howl too.would not suggest getting one if you are not into a loud barker.5/9/2013 9:16:13 PM
They are known to be bakers but theyes are smart and can be trained to minimize the barking.7/13/2014 7:06:03 PM
Beagle's can eat any brand of dog food. But you should feed your dog a grain-free, high quality brand of dog food. Unlike us, dogs can not choose which food they eat. It is up to you, the owner, to make healthy choices for them.7/9/2014 6:55:25 PM
Beagles will never bite you even if you let he/she become the pack leader. Beagles are extremely pack oriented and will not harm lower pack members. 4/7/2013 1:26:03 AM
Hounds are hunters, that seek out game and account for it. Yes Beagles bite very hard..9/6/2013 11:07:50 AM
About 12 - 15 years, source google.4/7/2013 1:28:07 AM
Has your beagle been howling more then usual? Is he/she having anxiety due to loneliness? Did they eat a foreign object? Did you change the diet recently? Are there any signs injury that went unnoticed? These are just a few list of things I myself usually check whenever anything looks/sounds different from my pup. Best Wishes!4/7/2013 1:32:53 AM
The beagle is supposed to be a medium/small dog. The other relative of the beagle is the American Fox Hound. The American Fox Hound is the larger version of the beagle.5/2/2013 6:56:48 PM

Satisfying Spring Desserts: 14 Recipes for Cakes, Pies, and Tarts
What's the best way to celebrate the spring season? By baking a delicious spring dessert, of course! Whether you're in the mood for a forkful of cake, a generous slice of berry pie, or an individual-sized tart, we've got you covered.
For more springtime inspiration, check out these spring desserts.
Strawberry-Black Pepper Tart for Two
Black pepper gives sweet strawberries a kick in this free-form tart. Expect some of the strawberry juices to ooze over the top of the crust while baking.
Cream Cheese Pound Cake with Quick Cherry Sauce
Although so moist and seemingly rich you can eat it unadorned, we recommend trying this pound cake topped with our Quick Cherry Sauce.
Recipe: Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Carrot Cake
An old favorite with an updated nutritional profile, but still as moist and delicious as ever.
Recipe: Carrot Cake
Ruffled Phyllo Tart with Spring Fruit
Strawberries and rhubarb are a familiar seasonal pairing, but adding apricots to the mix takes it to new heights. The day before you plan to bake the tart, thaw the frozen phyllo in the refrigerator.
Linzer Cake
Linzer Tart (or Linzer Torte) is an Austrian specialty: an almond pastry topped with raspberry jam. Here it is reinvented as an American cake: almond-rich layers divided by raspberry jam. It's even better when prepared a day in advance, giving the jam time to soak into the cake.
Recipe: Linzer Cake
Flourless Honey-Almond Cake
Honey and almonds flavor this simple (and gluten-free) cake. It's lovely for afternoon tea or a spring holiday dessert. Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites they should be white and very foamy, but not at all stiff or able to hold peaks. If you beat them too much, the cake may sink in the middle as it cools.
Recipe: Flourless Honey-Almond Cake
Chocolate-Cherry Cupcakes
The chopped cherries blend into the ultra-rich chocolate cake, giving these cupcakes a slight cherry flavor while keeping them super-moist with little added oil.
Recipe: Chocolate-Cherry Cupcakes
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Rhubarb and strawberries go hand in hand, and what better way to honor the combination than in this classic pie? The lattice top looks fancy, but the technique is super-easy to master.
Recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Apricot-Bulgur Pudding Cake with Custard Sauce
Don't be put off by "bulgur" and "cake" in the same title. (Think rice pudding but with bulgur.) Whether you use coarser-textured bulgur (our preference) or fine, the cooked bulgur should resemble cooked oatmeal.
Pineapple-Coconut Layer Cake
For everyone who loves the flavors of the Caribbean, this festive cake has it all. Two layers of coconut-flavored cake are filled with sweet pineapple curd and topped with creamy coconut frosting, chunks of fresh pineapple, and toasted coconut.
Recipe: Pineapple-Coconut Layer Cake
Lemon Meringue Tart for Two
A mile-high meringue is possible only if the egg white, bowl, and beaters are at room temperature.
Recipe: Lemon Meringue Tart for Two
Dark Cherry Bundt Cake
Cherries and almond extract pair beautifully in this delectable cake. Yogurt adds subtle flavor and helps keep the cake moist.
Recipe: Dark Cherry Bundt Cake
Raspberry-Almond Crumb Tart
You can quickly make the crust for this tart in the food processor and then press it into the pan no need to dig out a rolling pin and struggle to transfer a tender pastry dough from pin to pan. Extra crust dough doubles as a crumbly topping.
Recipe: Raspberry-Almond Crumb Tart
Chocolate-Cinnamon Sheet Cake with Almond Cream
Sheet cakes are a potluck dream: the baking pan holds the cake and makes it wonderfully portable. This one is accompanied by an almond "cream" made from heavy cream and reduced-fat sour cream. Together, the cake and cream replicate the taste of Mexican chocolate with its undertones of almond and cinnamon.

Here are five important rules that I use to implement my 401(k) plan investment choices:
1. Allocate your fixed income and other highly taxable investments to your 401(k) plan. Other highly taxable assets include real estate investment trusts (or REITs), whose dividends are taxed as ordinary income, and commodity funds. Nearly any fund with high turnover of holdings should be in your retirement plan account. If your fixed income investments are in your taxable account, then you are most likely paying taxes on the income at your full tax rate.
2. Place your stock portfolio with lower turnover in your taxable brokerage account. The federal government taxes stocks' dividends at a low 0.25 percent rate and capital gains on stocks held for one year at 25 percent.
3. All things being equal, choose low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in your 401(k) plan. Mutual funds offered in company retirement plans generally have high fees and often charge higher fees than you would pay if you bought the funds directly. Most mutual funds do not have the returns to justify their high expenses. The high fees embedded in the funds help pay the company or administrator for their efforts at your expense.
4. Maximize your 401(k) plan contribution so you can reap the benefits of a company match. It is a company benefit, and you need to take advantage of it.
5. Keep short-term safe investments in your taxable brokerage account. Most 401(k) plans include a default investment, which is a low-yielding safe vehicle along the lines of a money market fund. Your 401(k) plan should be for long-term investments.

concert tee
by R13
R13 is a New York based fashion house inspired by Avant garde silhouettes, Italian craftsmanship and a rebellious and unwavering American spirit. Elevated, denim-driven and specialized, R13 debuted in the fall of 2009.

Influenced by the uniform of the rebel, R13 delivers categories of denim and leather, both of which age with grace and take on the spirit of their wearer. Silhouettes span the slouchy, skinny and harem-inspired and take their authentic vintage quality from pure indigo casting.

Agreed. And LOST was the shit! Tonight's 3rd episode of WD was excellent. I just hope they don't take a YEAR between episode 6 (the season ender) and season 2 they way LOST had to.
I have the first series of the WD comic and still haven't decided if i want to watch it or read it first.
What the what?? Only three episodes left for this season.
It has not disappointed so far.
A shame about the hand, LOL.
last nights eppy was definitely more character driven than the last two. But it's all good. Sometimes you need to take a breather
Great series.
I like 28 days later and loved the remake of Dawn of the Dead but zombies should not be able to run. Dead things are decaying.
Say a zombie epidemic occurred it would be a limited cycle because the law of natures would apply and dead cells decay, break down, fall apart - won't work, turn to mush - earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Things would just rot off and fall apart plus those dead that are trying to eat the livings would be eaten themselves by bacteria, fungi, & parasites like maggots. Flys and maggots would quickly do to the zombies which living humans cannot.
Not all animals need fresh killed meat either.
Where are the dogs? I mean my neighborhood is loaded with dogs. There are almost more dogs then people in the surrounding urban neighborhood. Dogs will eat carrion and dogs would be roaming everywhere in packs tearing the shit out of slow poke smelly good eating zombies.
Big birds, they could come out of the wood work along with the bot flies to have a field day.
Hey this is in Atlanta or Georgia. Pigs, lot of pig farms in western central GA. There would be hundreds of pigs running in herds and they are crafty , & mean and have no problem eating anything when they get hungry enough. Pigs would be with dogs eating the shit out of zombies.
Zombie series can only be a short term project before its horror impact as a monster thriller is lost in the hot sun of decayed flesh as they turn into rotting water balloons filled with pus quicker in Florida.... and Georgia then say Juneau .
Good thought, they have yet to explain all that much about how all that happened, perhaps they could explain how the Zombies exist, ya know some plausible scientific facts to make the show more believable in a fun sort of way.I am not suggesting Zombies could ever exist but just give us something to think about, as in yeah that could happen.
You know I like the show I'm 2 episodes in but with Ramero's(sp) many, many, many dead rehash movies I feel orininalty with the dead is done. One thing I want to know why essential are all the dead in these things caninbalistic vampires!? seriously why?
Anyway I like the show amased how the do empty streets etc must have to do it 1st thing in the morning. Thought this wouldn't have the budget it did although I'm not familiar with AMC so there you go. Glad the are doing 12 episodes next series sometimes 24/25 is over kill with US shows. Both Showtime and HBO show that 12/13 can be enough.
"Flipping Dykes I though they were a myth like Weapons of Mass Destruction" Grace Adler.
I agree on these mini series. A plot can only take you so far throughout the living years.
The only shows that last over years are cartoons because the characters never age. There is always something different each week. I have yet never seen a cartoon say "to be continued."
A TV series has to know when and how to end to make it a talk soup/water cooler topic.
"Lost" had a beginning and knew when to make the finale. Other shows always end ahead of their time because they lose the interest of the viewers since no "open end" thought is put in the process. We are left with what happened to characters.
"Mad Men" is ending in 2 to 3 years because the creator/producer says he is not taking the 60's base series into the 70's era. That is a good plan keep viewers until series finale besides it being a great show.
"Smallville" has a good following from the beginning, then viewers was gone in middle but know with this the last year, viewers are tuning in again.
In short (lol) "The Walking Dead" will need to figure a way to keep viewers tuned each week. It is good right now but where is this going in the next few years being that it's dealing with a major population of the dead?
Glad they've been greenlit for a second season!

watching and like it!
i loved it, and it sucks that this sunday is the season finale to it. but i've noticed that the end of the of last episode they aired has started to stray away from the comic book a bit. It makes me wonder what direction they're gonna go, but i hope they reveal what it was that turned everyone into zombies.
This is like the one show I watch religiously. I love me some zombies anyhow, but it's the great characters and how they deal with the situation that has me hooked.
I'm soooooo bummed the this sunday is the season finale, the next season can't come fast enough.
I have a feeling that the place they ended up in the last episode (I don't want to give anything away for anyone who hasn't seen it yet) is not the safe place that they're hoping it will be.
The guy from the CDC is trying to find a cure, but he lost his last fresh sample. Where's he gonna get a new sample of fresh zombie? And he seems pretty unhinged. And probably doesn't have a lot of food or rations there. Whu-oh!
AMC is doing a marathon, full re-broadcast of all the episodes leading up to the new one at 10pm (whatever it's usual time is in your area).
I have no life so I'll probably watch.
^ I'm watching it for the first time now. I am loving this show!
I cannot wait until season 2 and double the episodes.
So, I've finished the first season, and if you haven't you probably don't want to read what I'm going to write.
While I enjoyed the series, I do lament the fact that it was so short. There feels like a ton of 'loose ends' which weren't tied up by the finale...
Now, some would argue that that's a good thing. That like life, not everything gets resolved, so it adds a bit of realism to it...
But I think the show might have made a major mistake in tonight's finale...
Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)
And that was letting the principal cast survive.
I know what you're thinking, that that sounds crazy...But it would make a great deal of sense.
Rick found his family, the survivors found safety for a time, and the world keeps moving forward...But how long are we going to follow these characters?
Don't get me wrong, I quite like the characters they've presented us, but perhaps it would be better for the show to branch out. By trapping and killing the entire principal cast in the CDC, season 2 could have expanded on some of the lose ends.
Season 2 could have followed Morgan and his son; or we could have returned to the 'gang' set up in the nursing home; hell, we could have even had an episode or two of Merle, the one handed redneck...
I think the show is amazing, but they had a great chance to wrap up season 1 and tell a different story in season 2, and I think (for now) that they should have taken the out they built into the story and ran with it.
Of course, if season 2 expands on the current characters and deepens them in unexpected way, I might change my tune...
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently...
Here is my response to The_Reaper
Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)
I think that it would be disappointing to had them all die in that building, but some of those characters are needed for Season 2. Merle needs to get his revenge on all the characters who left him on that roof meaning T-Dog and Rick.
I was very angry to have Jacqui stay behind but I think that she had no developing story to continue on with since she lost Jim. I could see that she cared a lot about Jim on the show and that after he was bit and left to turn into a zombie that it was very hard for her to go on cause for all she knew she could see Jim as a zombie later on and just be such an emotional wreck.
I'm glad that Andrea went with Dale but I'm surprised that Dale didn't ask Jacqui if that's what she really wanted to do by staying behind. I just hope Season 2 is longer and has more episodes than Season 1.
The black lady was like the most pointless, underdeveloped character on the show.
I don't even know anything about her...So I'm not sure why I was supposed to care about her in the end.
Come to think of it, most of the characters on this show are kind of pointless.
I like the show but the last episode was the weakest. Didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. I know there won't be any answers. I don't think we ever find out what spread to cause this. I would have liked to see more people eaten at the end, lol.
I agree. There really was no point to the CDC other than it was a indoor set that cost less money to make then taking every thing to a mobile outdoors set where you are dependent on weather and daylight for filming ($$$$).
In fact it was all filler.
There was only one important thing, and that was very important. Came up at 25 minutes into the show. The fact that perhaps the zombies are not dead but some form of unknown virus/bacteria that destroys all functions not related to basic survival. This would explain how a zombie could function without becoming a decayed mess within a short time.
I'm also getting tired of the "We are low or out of gas", Gimme a break they are in the major urban/metro center of Atlanta where vehicles of all sorts and sizes are sitting everywhere. I mean you can't go 5 miles in Georgia anywhere without finding a half dozen Ford F-250's even in the deepest woods.
The same with gun shops, and hunting/fishing stores..............
Sure fuel & guns may be running low because of the big blow out with humans and zombies but that should be the priority, .
There has to be fuel, ammo, & guns around. They would do well to stock up like in the remake of Dawn of the Dead, even hitting the Atlanta Police Headquarters.
By the way it might be a good time to learn how to fire up one of those many dozens of abandon Abrams tanks sitting at the CDC or in the middle of the street.
And try firing up a military HUMVEE over using a jeep wrangler with the top off.
What are these people thinking??? Gee lets travel in a 1985 Jeep Cherokee over the HUMMERS?
13 episodes next season?
When I saw the finale, and it said it will blow up when it runs out of fuel, I said "How will you blow up without fuel?
The last episode did leave a lot to be desired like I said above. I also agree there are cars EVERYWHERE filled with gasoline and better cars to take that are safer. The sad part is all those hot male models out there aimlessly walking around. Question: would you nab a hottie, duct tape his mouth and hands (no biting, scratching) and do him every which way? lol
I'm absolutely loving this series!
It's fascinating how in only a matter of weeks human society, i.e. the survivors, reorganizes itself into the tribal model.
Just bought season 1 on iTunes and loved every minute of it. I'm just thinking we have to wait until OCTOBER for the next season!
WHAT did Dr. Jenner whisper in Rick's ear? I really can't wait to find out.
Robert Kirkman, one of the writers on TWD was asked in an EW.com interview what Jenner whispered to Rick. He said:
"I don't want to give anything away! Look, it could have been just like, "Hey, watch out for those zombies out there, dude!" But it wasn't. It'll probably be revealed in season two, what he said. And it's pretty monumental."
Thanks. Very Helpful.
How long until series 2? How long? How long? How long?
I just watched the entire first series and loooooovvvveeeedddddd it.
And guess what, the man of no emotion shed tears!!!!
It was the line towards the end of the last episode when the old guy was gonna stay in the CDC building with that woman that just lost her sister.
He said, "You don't just walk into a person's life, make them care about you and then check out"
Omg did my eyes well up.
the season premiere was pretty good, there were somethings that didnt make sense (mostly in that scene where everyone was hiding under the cars), but beyond that it felt really slow. although i guess its just building up for the rest of the season. being that Shane didnt die like he did in the comic, if makes me wonder how that is going to change the story line.
I'm loving the show, despite the stuff that makes you shake your head in wonder.
What happened to the little girl is what I want to know.
Disappointed by the season opener. Started good but stalled out. After the zombie crawl down the interstate the story crapped out and the next hour of the 1-1/2 hr show went nowhere. No plot development, nothing. Just looking for a little girl lost in the woods. That time should have been briefly covered and they should have moved on. Rather it was with the deer and the result of that or what. They just took to much film time searching for the girl. I mean they could have indicated in 30 seconds of dialog that they spent 24 or 48 hrs looking for the girl but, blah..........
Well what irked me the whole show was the fact the woman see the zombie go after her child and she stayed under the car. Anybody, no matter what, would have took off from under the car to help her kid BUT then where would the show go for the next hour. Also, how did the zombies just "show up" all of a sudden with them using binoculars to keep an eye on things. Still enjoyed the show though.
On the perverted side, nice crotch shots of, not Rick, his ex partner, as they were walking thru the woods.
Am I the only one that is getting bored with the whole premise?
I feel that zombies had their moment in 2010, but realistically we're approaching 2012 and I'm kind of over it.
Don't get me wrong - I did get some enjoyment out of season 1.
No, I am not bored with zombies. Or more to the point, bored with this show.
I've never been a big fan of the whole zombie genre itself, so I'm not watching or reading anything other than this show. No burn out factor.
And since TWD is still turning out good stories (for the most part), I'm still here waiting to see what's next.
I got around to watching it the other night...yawn.
Still poor writing, acting...
I was hoping fo more.
The make-up is truly, for me, frightening. The visual effects almost turn my stomach, but, without a good script...story...fluid motion...
I enjoyed the opener. Interested to see the new characters.
I agree with some others here where the first half was better than the last half in the opener. The story got silly. How could that girl get lost in such a short distance from the highway? If she was that dumb and couldn't find her way back, she would be better off getting devoured by zombies.
just started watching this series and like what I see. Let's hope that continues.
The Zombies should have been able to smell them especially since that guy was bleeding all over. The zombies did move a bit quicker in this episode. I am a bit distracted by the blonds botoxed up face. She can barely make a expression. There must be a zombie doctor she has hidden someplace no one knows about. I didn't love this episode like I did the first 5 episodes of season 1.
I say that they all get taken out. Child actors are the worst.
I wasn't very excited after watching the first episode of the new season either. Hopefully it gets better. I've only read some of the comics. I know where they're going now and if they stick to the comic it should be pretty good.
i thought it was ok... too bad it was said this season will be split in two...only six episodes now . then it returns February 12 with the last six episodes
Okay so maybe it's merely a fantasy on my part, but during last night's episode, did anyone else feel like Rick and Shane should just start making out already?
There was a scene where Shane wipes blood off Rick's face, and a scene where they were talking at kissing level, hands around each others heads, where I just thought: I want to see these dudes get it on!
yea i noticed how shane and rick were with each other on last nights episode lol. for a minute i thought they we're gonna make out or something, lol. but overall i feel like the show is going TOOO slow. its kinda starting to frustrate me.
It is way too slow. I'd rather see development of the others and their pasts instead of Rick's annoying cheating wife. She's the worst on the show.

For these overweight women, not focusing on weight loss may actually be the best path to good health
The pulse of tribal drumming fills the air. Jeannie Troy, 48 and 220 pounds, dances wildly, pogo-ing like a punk rocker at a Green Day concert and shaking her sweaty hair. All around her, women—whose body sizes range from average to well over 300 pounds—grin as they get their groove on.
This is what fitness looks like at Green Mountain at Fox Run, a center in Vermont for women determined to end their weight struggles. As the class breaks up, applause erupts and Troy grabs a towel. Her face is bright red and her extralarge purple T-shirt is blotched with sweat, but she's beaming. "I've finally learned to take to heart that saying 'Dance like nobody's watching,' " she says.
Before coming to Green Mountain, Troy had spent countless days—and dollars—dieting. She isn't alone: At any given time, 53% of Americans are trying to lose weight. So why, then, are so many women overweight? Many experts believe it's because diets simply don't work for keeping weight off long term. "If we had a 95% failure rate with a medication, it would never get approved by the FDA. Yet that's dieting's record," says Michelle May, MD, founder of Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Workshops.
After decades of yo-yo dieting that only leaves them heavier than they were to start with, many women lose the will to work out and watch what they eat, and they begin dodging doctors who make them feel fat. Some ultimately give up on dealing with health issues such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, believing that without dramatic weight loss, it's useless.
But according to a controversial new movement, it is possible to break this cycle of failed diets and poor health, even if you never end up in a pair of skinny jeans or in the safety zone of the BMI chart. It's known as Health At Every Size (HAES), and its principles are so radically simple that they can be difficult to grasp after a lifetime of trying to follow complicated plans full of rules, stages, calories, grams of fat, points, scales, and math.

DeWafelbakkers Pancakes are made from all natural ingredients, and don't use any preservatives or additives. De Wafelbakker's say that their pancakes "taste like they're made from SCRATCH!" Well, I put that theory to the test.
I tried the Buckwheat Berry Pancakes which have a brown, grainy, 'whole wheat appearance' with a few barely discernible berry specs. Although they are the size of an average frozen pancake, they are definitely thinner than the others. This is important because they got cold fairly quickly (the thin product could not hold heat well so don't even think about doing like 6 at once). But I must say that these pancakes taste good at any temperature.
They can be cooked in a number of ways, but I chose the toaster route. Upon taking my first bite, a pleasing soft and dense mixture delighted my taste buds. I took inspiration from the cover picture and microwaved 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries and strawberries for a minute. Then, I added 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and drained off the excess liquid. The dense pancakes soaked up the juices that remained and made for a delightful treat. All in all, one word sums up this great breakfast product: "Yum!"
The whole back panel of the box of De Wafelbakkers Pancakes is dedicated to explaining the main contributors: Whole grain flour, Flaxseed (providing 1000 mg of Omega-3s), Buckwheat, Fructan (a natural dietary fiber) and no artificial colors or preservatives. A serving of 2 pancakes has 140 calories, 4 grams of fat (6% of the RDA), no saturated fat, 210 mg of sodium (9% of the RDA), 4 grams of protein and a respectable 6 grams of fiber (24% of the RDA) and 11 grams of sugar.
A box with 6 cost $2.29 (purchased from Wal-Mart) and were WELL worth it. Some 'diet friendly' pancake syrups I recommend are Polaner Sugar Free Blueberry Topping and Aunt Jemima Butter Lite Syrup.

You can also have a confidential conversation with your health care provider and get tested to be sure you don't have an STD or HIV.
2 – Don't have sex; not vaginal, not oral and not anal. This is the only sure fire way not to get pregnant or an STD or HIV
3- Limit your sexual partners. Have sex with only one partner, who knows they have tested negative for STD / HIV and agrees to only have sex with you.
4 - Use a latex condom. Also known as "smart sex," using latex condoms correctly every time you have sex greatly reduces the risk of getting pregnant or an STD or HIV. Learn more about condoms
