Sorry Cleveland, he's Johnny Baseball now. The San Diego Padres decided to draft Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel with the 837th pick of the 2014 MLB Draft. Manziel, who played baseball in high school and has thrown out the a few first pitches at MLB games, is listed as a shortstop.

Manziel visited the Padres to throw out a first pitch in May, and took batting practice with the team. His Padres uniform had a Heisman patch on the arm, and Manziel reenacted one of his famous scrambles while on the mound.
Big thank you to the @Padres and @padresmikedee for selecting me in the MLB draft. What a great day! pic.twitter.com/MaTKVZ5JqY
— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) June 7, 2014
Manziel isn't the first quarterback to be selected in the MLB draft. Russell Wilson was drafted twice, in 2007 and 2010, by the Orioles and Rockies.
The odds of Manziel ever playing an MLB game, as pointed out by ESPN Stats and Info, are very slim.
Johnny Manziel drafted in 28th round by Padres (837th overall). No 837th pick in the June draft has ever played an MLB game

Almost ready to pull the trigger on a 3" lift, need some input
So due to the mileage on my new to me truck, I figure i should replace the suspension at this point anyways so why not go with a lift.
Mainly DD street truck with some light trail use to get to OHV areas. I want to keep it cheap but get it done right. My research has led me to the following setup: Bilstein 5100's front and rear OME 885 Coils 1/4' Spacer to fix lean Dakar Leaf Pack I believe this should put me at 2.75"-3" of lift fairly levelled out. Do I need anything else? UCA at $400 :eek:, id prefer to avoid. Will I need any bushings or anything or will the new shocks come with them? Thanks! |
Ome coils are made for ome shocks so why not just go full ome? And I'd recommend LR UCAs otherwise it may not allign correctly
I understand that they may not align, but id rather wait and see if they can be aligned or not before paying out $400 for something I might not need.
OME shocks are more expensive and harder to find. Also it seems they provide up to an inch less of lift with this setup. Alot of people are running the 5100's with OME 885's and are very happy with their 2.5-3" of lift. Will the stock U-bolts work with the Dakar leaf pack? and does anyone reccomend running angle shims or the carrier bearing drop? or is that for like 6" lifts? :P |
I checked them out and they have some good prices, I wonder if they could kick together a kit with what I want at a good price.
I did more reading and people who put the 885 coils on the OME shocks HATE the ride and all agree it is very stiff. I think Ill be happy with my original plan of the Bilstein 5100's. |
:popcorn: Looking to do something similar. Please add pics when you can :)
"OME is not made to work with Bilstein and Bilstein is not made to work with OME. Bilstein and OME will not warranty their products if they are used with the other. I have also heard the shock will blow out. If you have anymore questions or concern please call 303-255-4959. Thanks! Julie" Not all of that is entirely true. On the other hand 5100s are cheaper and have a longer extended length which will help prevent the shock reaching full extension and limiting downtravel. |
They may not warranty them but the products work VERY well together from my research.
Id say at least half the lift threads I read had billy 5100's with 885 coils, none of which experienced any issues at all. If WheelersOffroad ever used this site I might have ordered a kit by now, but they have ignored my post in their forum area for about a week now. |
FWIW, I ran 885s with 5100s without issues, but I would not run Dakars with 5100s on the rear. |
PM yotadan, i have before and he got right back to me, also ask him about the valving on 5100s and OME shocks and which will be softer, i would like to hear about the differences from a credible source. My post above is based on what i have read on TW.
Edit: except the part about i disagree that 885s paired with nitros are to stiff, that is my opinion based on my setup. I dont think they ride to stiff at all. |

Specifically their Protein Powders...
I happen to like their taste compared to other brands i have tried and they contain more or less the same amount of ingridients yet so many people HATE on GNC products...
Specifically their Protein Powders...
I happen to like their taste compared to other brands i have tried and they contain more or less the same amount of ingridients yet so many people HATE on GNC products...
I get all my whey from there just because of the gold card discount. (20% off for the first 7 days of every month, for some reason it's the first 10 days of this month) The gold card only cost me $12 so it's paid for itself a few times over.
As for the actual quality of the whey, which is the only supplement I buy there; I have no complaints at all. Chocolate and vanilla go great in my shake blends.. Might grab a jug of strawberry today and try that out.
They have quite a few brands but I just always get the GNC "100 Whey" stuff.
If anyone has anything negative to say about it (aside from price complaints..) I would be very interested to hear about it. Never had problems.
The big problem with GNC in general is uneducated individuals going in there and being sold a bunch of crap by employees trying to earn their comission by making stuff up about wonder supplements. Lots of people fall for that crap and empty their wallet before they leave. Avoid that and I think you'll be fine
"Knowing is not enough we must apply." --- "Willing is not enough we must do."
Brother, it's not that it's bad, but GNC usually is over-priced.
A lot of the bad-mouthing re: GNC originates with the outrage at their ridiculously high prices for a lot of their products, and people just perpetuate "facts" about their products being low quality just because it's not Muscle Milk or Optimum Nutrition or another big brand, when in reality that's not the case. I can't friggin find the reports I was reading, but their products actually rated pretty well in some independent tests!
Drew - i agree. The biggest issue i have wtih GNC (and vitamin shoppe and Hi-Health, etc. etc. etc.) is that they hire jack-f*cks to work there who don't know anything about supplements and have spiffs for certain products, so you go in there, uneducated and asking for help from this person who supposedly knows about the products they're selling, and end up walking out with whatever the guy gets commission on, not necessarily what you need.
Regardless, for the better prices I usually buy my supplements from BulkNutrition.com.
Massnutrition.com is pretty good and cheap as well....
But i get the gold Card discount as well... but i dont always buy on the first week of th emonth
edit: massnutrition is cheaper than bulknutrition.. and local to me
I buy a few different things there like fish oil, but that's about it. There is a store here where I can get ON Whey for 24 bucks for a 5 pound jug, so I'm not going to buy it there. I get fish oil, flax oil, a few other vitamins there. They are pretty inexpensive, and seem to be pretty good quality. I also take there multi-vitamin, but I think I'm going to switch to ON's Opti-men because it's way cheaper, but not sure yet.
They are ok, just overpriced.

A former U.S. Army member and sex offender who escaped from a halfway house in Del Valle in October has been added to the U.S. Marshals Service's list of 15 most wanted fugitives.
In 2003, Kevin Patrick Stoeser, 41, pled guilty to multiple sexual offenses to children, including four counts of child sexual assault and one count of possession of child pornography.
He was sentenced to 156 months in jail but was released early in 2011. Six months later, he went back to jail after violating the sex offender rules.
In October 2013, he escaped from the Austin Transitional Center, a halfway house in Del Valle where he was serving the remainder of his sentence.
Before his escape, staff members confiscated a smartphone with 26 photos of children that Stoeser had. Officials said he escaped after a staff member confronted him and took the phone.
"Stoeser is a malicious individual who abused innocent children on multiple occasions. His escape represents a threat to public safety," said Stacia A. Hylton, director of the U.S. Marshalls Service in a statement.
Police have been looking for Stoeser for months. In November, he was added to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders list.
Stoener is 5 feet and 8 inches tall, about 170 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes. He has several tattoos on his arms, chest and calf. He has the name "Kayla" tattooed on his left upper arm and the words "Khaos" and "Stoeser" on his chest.
The U.S. Marshals service is offering up to $25,000 for information that will lead to the Stoener's arrest. They are asking anyone with information to call 800-336-0102 or send tips to email@example.com [1].

10 Romantic Comedy Myths About Women
Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron walk into a movie theater...
July 8, 2014 - 11:00 am
Page 1 of 10 Next -> View as Single Page
10. We're so fiercely independent that the only thing we need to be happy… is a man.
Post-second wave feminist romantic comedies rely on the Sheryl Sandberg boilerplate: upper-middle class, successful career woman with an impossibly huge apartment in big city stuffed with everything she could ever want. (See: Reese Witherspoon in Just Like Heaven.) The genre gives the image one slight twist: our heroine is secretly one step away from cultivating her very own cat collection. (See: Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail.) True to Hollywood fashion, who better than the big, strong male superhero to fly in to save the day?

Everyone loves the look and feel of real leather – but sometimes real leather isn't the best choice for certain spaces in your home. For example, you'd never put a genuine leather rug in a bathroom, or near your kitchen sink, right? The constant exposure to moisture would cause water damage to your beautiful piece.
Enter synthetic leather. Boasting the look and feel of real leather, faux leather is much more durable and much easier to care for. And it can be used in places where real leather could never survive. Our selection of faux leather kitchen mats is a perfect example. They're just as beautiful as genuine leather, but safe for use in areas where moisture is ever-present.
Types of Faux Leather
There are several different types of synthetic leather, from pleather to leatherette to vegan leather. And each one is made slightly differently. Pleather, or plastic leather, is actually made out of plastic. Leatherette is created by merging a cloth base and a PVC cover layer. And vegan leather is usually made from plant materials. There are other types of faux leather, as well, but the instructions for the care and cleaning of each don't vary all that much. Happily, they all carry the same characteristics of durability and ease of care.
Care Instructions
Synthetic leather is very resistant to wear and tear, as well as to environmental elements such as moisture that would doom a genuine leather rug to disaster. For this reason, it can safely be used in high-traffic areas, and areas where water is present. However, faux leather does still require some basic care in order to ensure that it retains its attractiveness and lasts for a long time.
The best – and simplest – way to clean your synthetic leather rug is to wipe it regularly with a damp rag that has been soaked in water and mild soap, and then wipe it dry with a clean dry cloth, or let it air dry. Using heat or even sunlight to dry it can cause the faux leather to warp or become otherwise damaged. In order to keep it in tip-top shape, you may also want to apply a synthetic leather conditioner once dry.
For particularly tough stains, it's usually safe to use a small amount of an alcohol-based cleaner, or even rubbing alcohol. Test the product on an inconspicuous part of the rug first, to be sure it won't cause discoloration, and then rub it into the stain to remove.
Anti-Fatigue Mats
There are some special considerations to keep in mind for our line of synthetic leather anti-fatigue mats. They can be swept, mopped, or wiped clean, but it's not just the faux leather you need to keep in mind – they also contain a core of supportive gel, or bio-foam. This is what makes them ideal for standing on for long periods of time, but it also means that just a little extra caution is called for when it comes to folding or bending the mats, or allowing the legs of furniture to rest on them.
Following these few tips for the care and cleaning of your faux leather rug will ensure that it stays beautiful and useful for years to come.

Angel blames devil for breaking into Pinal County home
PHOENIX -- Convicted felon Angel Meza blamed the devil for setting him up on burglary charges in Arizona City.
A woman called 911 Tuesday night after walking into her bedroom to find Meza, who escaped through a back door. Pinal County Sheriff's Deputies said they chased Meza through backyards as he was trying to load a round in the chamber of the handgun he'd just stolen.
Sheriff Paul Babeu said once Meza was in custody, he said, "the devil set him up" and blamed the devil for placing the stolen handgun on him.

Kalyan Pathak: The Beatles, the Tabla, and Ragazz
John Oseid is on vacation. In this week's Boom Box, Stop Press intern Tara Kalmanson shares her passion for world music.
In 1969 in Ahmadabad, Indian percussionist Kalyan Pathak's father ran into Frank Zachary, a broke 30-year-old American hippie with jaundice lying outside Khas Bazaar in 115-degree heat. After a long conversation about their shared love of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, Pathak's father took his new friend home to nurse him back to health. Zachary named himself Pondurenga Das (Devotee of Krisna) and ended up clearing out the family's small attic and renting it for six months, during which he educated four-year-old Pathak in modern American music. When Pondurenga left for a couple months to study yoga in New Delhi, all Pathak wanted was "a drum like Ringo Starr"--Pondurenga brought him back his first snare drum.
Pathak had already been training in the double-headed North Indian drum called the tabla from age three, and by his early teens was so good that his teachers told him to give up on Western music and devote 12 hours a day to tabla study. Instead, Pathak gave up on his teachers and trained himself, eventually earning a scholarship to study jazz at Roosevelt University, in Chicago. He still lives in Chicago today, where he has played beside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Paul Wertico, Howard Levy, and Fareed Haque.
The result of this lifelong musical odyssey? A new genre: ragazz.
After noticing the similarities between ragas of India and the jazz rhythms of the U.S., Pathak began adding ingredients of each to invent his own sound. It's not just jazz with raga notes, nor is it a raga played by a saxophone player. Check out Pathak's The Shape of Ragazz to Come: You'll find the basic structural elements of both genres; the harmony in jazz and the characteristic moods of each raga melody. Look for subtle influences from African music, blues, and flamenco, too, which Pathak peppers with North Indian flavor. For a real treat, catch him live in Berwyn, IL, on July 4, when he will play percussion with Tributosaurus at FitzGerald's nightclub's American Music Festival.
More music:
* If you can't wait until July to hear Indian beats, check out Red Baraat, a "dhol 'n' brass" band that combines bhangra and brass funk using the sounds of the dhol, another traditional North Indian drum, with a couple saxophones, a trombone, trumpet, sousaphone, and percussion. They'll be playing tonight at DJ Rekha's Basement Bhangra at SOB's in New York City.
* Boom Box: An unabashed gusto for music of the world.

900 Chartres Street
New Orleans, Louisana

Drag slider to rate this bar
Jim Beam, rocks; Bud back
Spend enough time frequenting inns, taverns, saloons, cafés, clubs, corners, joints, places, rooms, rathskellers, pubs, roadhouses, holes, spots, and as they're sometimes even called bars, and you develop a certain sixth sense: an ability to just know, when you're passing by a drinking establishment, whether or not it would be a profitable place in which to waste your time and treasure. Case in point, Harry's Corner. I'd never actually had a drink at this unpretentious, homey-looking place in the middle of the free-floating carnival that is the French Quarter, but every time I passed it, and there were many over the years, I regretted whatever appointment, piece of business, or family obligation kept me from grabbing a stool there. Last year, I finally heeded that internal pinging. A drink or two later, some chitchat with the regulars, and I overhear the immortal line, "But I can't kiss you on the lips, Gina that's my husband standing right over there." Nice place.

We chose a golf theme for our son's nursery. We chose golf because we found out at our 20 week ultrasound that he had only one functioning kidney. We knew golf was a sport he would be able to do! Donald's Aunt is an artist and designed and painted the mural using Sherwin William's interior paint. She was amazed by how well it blended and how easy it was to work with!

"I grill zucchini at least twice a week and have never thought to use cumin on it. This is really a great flavor. It went very well with my grill chicken breast. My zucchini was pretty big and cut in half it still only took about 5 minutes to get crisp tender. "
"Very nice flavors and quite easy to make. Served with Indian spiced chicken legs with raita"
"Delicious! Haven't used cumin with zucchini before but it's really good, especially on the grill. Simple, tasty - thanks for sharing the recipe!"
"So easy and wonderful flavor. I never thought of cumin and zucchini being good together, but hey, it works!"
"Very, very good. I love cumin, and I love zucchini, so well, what's not to love here? I halved the recipe. The kids wouldn't touch it, of course, (EWWWW, what's that green stuff?) but hey, that's their loss. Thanks for a great recipe that will definitely be put on the rotation."
"I was never a big Zucchini fan but this stuff is incredible. It was my meal. Now I wish I would have made 2."

"Son of the Great River" describes two boys coming of age in the early Bronze Age. This novel begins to intensify the moment a stranger from the south dies in Saffu's arms. He leaves his tribe and travels to the land of cities and kings. I noticed how death awakened something inside these young boys. It motivated them to go on the adventure of a lifetime, and not, let death take this away from them. Each lived their lives authentically and uniquely. They followed the path their heart's craved within their soul. This book is masterfully put together to give inspiration to and motivation to anyone who has not decided to take their own journey into the heart and soul of human existence. As you read this book, you will find yourself asking the questions: Am I living authentically? Am I living the life of my dreams? Am I really following my heart? If not, why not?

Liver Failure
Liver failure occurs when large parts of the liver become damaged beyond repair and the liver is no longer able to function.
Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often liver failure occurs gradually and over many years. However, a more rare condition known as acute liver failure occurs rapidly (in as little as 48 hours) and can be difficult to detect initially.
The most common causes of chronic liver failure (where the liver fails over months to years) include:
The causes of acute liver failure, when the liver fails rapidly, however, are often different. These include:
The initial symptoms of liver failure are often ones that can be due to any number or conditions. Because of this, liver failure may be initially difficult to diagnose. Early symptoms include:
However, as liver failure progresses, the symptoms become more serious, requiring urgent care. These symptoms include:
If detected early enough, acute liver failure caused by an overdose of acetaminophen can sometimes be treated and its effects reversed. Likewise, if a virus causes liver failure, supportive care can be given at a hospital to treat the symptoms until the virus runs its course. In these cases the liver will sometimes recover on its own.
For liver failure that is the result of long-term deterioration, the initial treatment goal may be to save whatever part of the liver is still functioning. If this is not possible, then a liver transplant is required. Fortunately, liver transplant is a common procedure that is often successful.
The best way to prevent liver failure is to limit your risk of developing cirrhosis or hepatitis. Here are some tips to help prevent these conditions.

When I was a resident Chaplain at the University of Kentucky, I would often baptize those who were dying. On one occasion, I was given the task of baptizing an aborted child that did not make it through labor. I was given a small fetus in an empty room. This child was not much bigger than my thumb. I remember wondering what this infant's mother looked like and who was the father. What were they going through? I wondered who was helping them through their grief.
This fetus was given to me, so I could baptize him/her before further burial procedures were to take place. In the back of my mind, I began to imagine what this child's life would have been like if this child had of lived. What baring on the parents would all this create in their heart and in their soul?
There are several places for a person to find comfort and healing. Your local Hospice Care Program has several support groups with qualified therapists to assist you in sharing your grief. Your local hospital has social workers and chaplains to guide you through this difficult time. Also, hospital social workers have a list of groups in the community to give you in finding a caring group to share your grief. Your Minister and friends will help you too. And, if you have a pet, they grieve to. Give them attention. They will draw close to you.
In the meantime, be good to yourself. Eat right. Take walks. Take time to listen to your heart recall memories of your loved one who has passed on into a deeper place in your heart only your soul can embrace. There are several books on grief. Often we heal in the deepest parts of our being before we notice it physically. This journey into the heart is a predictable one. I would like to recommend my book "The Path into Healing: Our Womb of Creation" This is a book about the journey into one's heart and soul.
This event took place over 16 years ago. I can still remember this event as though it were yesterday. I was alone with this fetus and nurse. I did anoint this child. In a way, I believe the child anointed me as well. This child, to this day, has left an image in my mind and heart that lives and breathes through my recalling this story. This child has left an imprint on my Soul and shown me a way into Eternity.

Breast cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in American women, is the disease women fear most. Experts predict 178,000 women will develop breast cancer in the United States in 2007. Breast cancer can also occur in men, but it's far less common. For 2007, the predicted number of new breast cancers in men is 2,000.
Yet there's more reason for optimism than ever before. In the last 30 years, doctors have made great strides in early diagnosis and treatment of the disease and in reducing breast cancer deaths. In 1975, a diagnosis of breast cancer usually meant radical mastectomy — removal of the entire breast along with underarm lymph nodes and muscles underneath the breast. Today, radical mastectomy is rarely performed. Instead, there are more and better treatment options, and many women are candidates for breast-sparing operations.

Hospice Care
Hospice is a philosophy of care founded on the belief in the sacred dignity of human life. Hospice care affirms life and regards dying as a natural process. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice care adds life to one's days, not days to one's life.
Hospice is not euthanasia. Hospice provides palliative (comfort) care to patients who are terminally ill so they can be as comfortable and alert as possible. Euthanasia is the intentional killing, by act or omission, of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit.
When patients elect hospice care, they keep their own physician who approves medications and treatments that are consistent with national accepted standards of care and the patient's wishes. Patients are encouraged to participate in developing their own treatment plan. Hospice staff members follow physician orders in a compassionate and professional manner, but only when the patient or their trusted caregiver authorizes us to do so.
Hospice does not withhold or force medications, nutrition or hydration on any patient. The decision on whether or not adult patients receive medications, food or fluid remains with them or their chosen caregiver. It is never the decision of hospice personnel, friends or family members who the patient has not authorized, no matter how well the intentions might be.
Unlike other forms of health care, hospice focuses on both the patient and the family. Because an approaching death is very stressful for a family, we encourage open and honest communication during this time. This helps minimize conflict and disagreements. Occasionally, some family members do not always come to an understanding and can have strong differences. These disputes can be extremely painful for everyone involved, including the patient.
As one might imagine, watching a loved one die is never easy, but there can be immense satisfaction to families in knowing that they provided loving and caring support. The same holds true for hospice staff and volunteers. Most people who work for hospice do not consider it simply a job. Most feel called and consider it a ministry and are incredibly passionate about their labor. While often difficult, hospice is one of the most rewarding occupations one can have.

That is a pretty shotty right there. I can't tell you it's age, but I am fairly sure it is not in the arena of curio and relic...
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
You might want to ask in the shotgun section as well. Just giving you more options. 50 years old is not that old when it comes to firearms. Just a suggestion.
ok,I put it over on general shotguns.If admin sees this on the curio and relic section please delete,thanks.
If it has no serial number then it was made before the gun control act of 1968.

Edward Snowden and you: liberty or blissful ignorance?

Today's been an interesting "opinion article" in the local newspaper :
This data collection, the commentator wrote, is going against the EU (and German) laws of individual "data protection" ("Datenschutz").
Since the data collection ignores the EU laws, it does so as if the EU laws didn't exist at all.
And THAT is THE fundamental breach into ANY state or country : The laws of the countries of the European Union (and, especially, Germany, since Germany appears to have been the "primary target" of it all - are pushed away as if they didn't exist at all.
No laws exist. No states do exist. No countries exist - in terms of legislative etc. .
The "data collectors" do as if nothing in fact existed. No laws of protection - which is the ultimate breach expressing : No laws exist whatsoever.
They collect anyway,
of *any* data protection laws.
It's all void by now. Why build a state on laws if these laws can be broken by any other country any other time ?
To say that this is a loss of respect towards the other countries - and towards individial persons especially, is an understatement.
But - the UNO and all of the other states just LIVED through respecting each other.
And each others' laws.
Without respect, there would be no reason left not to invate any other countey and claim its territory for one's own country.
And this has actually happened. A country virtually invaded another country - by declaring its peoples' laws as voind and collecting the data
In terms of Philosophy, this is a huge thing. The very fundament has been broken.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. (E.F.Schumacher, Economist,

Programing Note: Don't miss Wolf Blitzer Reports: Popes and Presidents on Easter Sunday, April 20 at 2 p.m. ET. The 30-minute special explores the long and sometimes troubled history between the White House and the Vatican.
By Wolf Blitzer and Sean Kennedy, CNN Follow @wolfblitzerFollow @CNNBelief
(CNN) - President Barack Obama will meet with Pope Francis on Thursday at the Vatican, opening a new chapter in the centuries-long relationships between the United States and the Holy See.
While Obama has praised Francis' focus on the poor, popes and American presidents haven't always seen eye to eye.
With that in mind, here are five surprising encounters between the Commander in Chief and the Successor to St. Peter.
1. George Washington banned the burning of papal effigies
On the anniversary of Guy Fawkes' Day, when a Catholic plot to assassinate the Protestant King of England was disrupted, American soldiers would often mark the day by torching a straw pope.
But just five months after George Washington took command of the Continental Congress' army in 1775, he issued an order prohibiting the violent expression of anti-Catholic bigotry.
Washington thought the custom to be "ridiculous and childish" as well as "to be insulting (Catholics') religion."
Washington's decision "spoke volumes to the Vatican. Outlawing an anti-Catholic event sent a very strong message to the papacy that the American government was not anti-Catholic," said Candida Moss, a professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame.
2. A pope almost recognized the Confederacy
At the height of the Civil War, Confederate President Jefferson Davis wrote to Pope Pius IX, thanking him for his kind sentiments in calling for a resolution to the Civil War.
The Catholic-educated but Protestant Davis went on to ask the Pope for his recognition of the Confederate States. Throughout the war, the Confederacy had tried and failed to get recognition from other European states.
"For the Vatican, this is a very difficult situation: here they have one part of a fractured country seeking their support, and they don't often get this," Moss said.
Pope Pius IX replied a few months later addressing Davis as "Illustrious and Honorable Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America."
By conferring the title and honorifics on Davis, the Pope appeared to legitimatize the rebellious states. "It's a scandal all over the Union newspapers," Moss said. "This leads to the complete breakdown in ties between the U.S. and the Holy See."
This perceived slight led Congress to explicitly ban diplomatic ties with the Vatican in 1867.
3. The Vatican helped end the Cuban Missile Crisis
With Soviet missiles in Cuba and a U.S. Naval blockade of the island in place, the Vatican secretly reached out to both sides in 1962.
Pope John XXIII issued a call privately and then on Vatican Radio to both the Soviets and Americans to compromise. Finding peace was not a sign of cowardice, the Pontiff advised.
"I've heard that got to (Nikita) Khrushchev," said Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the former Archbishop of Washington. "The Pope is looking for peace and why don't you be the man of peace?"
The message appeared to break the ice and gave Khrushchev a way out – though the crisis lasted almost another week. The Soviets agreed to withdraw the missiles in line with American demands, and the Unites States secretly withdrew its missiles from Turkey. The Pope and the President had brought the world back from the brink.
4. The United States didn't have a Vatican ambassador until 1984
In 1797, Congress appointed an informal representative to the Vatican to assist Americans in the Papal States, the first of 11 unofficial consuls appointed. But the country had no formal diplomatic relations in Vatican City until Ronald Reagan.
The major reason was anti-Catholic sentiment.
"(Harry) Truman said he'd like an ambassador to the Holy See, but there was a Protestant backlash," Moss said.
Although every president from Dwight Eisenhower to the present has had a formal audience with the pope, it wasn't until after Reagan's 1982 visit to Pope John Paul II in Rome did formal relations with the Vatican gain traction.
In 1984, Reagan succeeding in getting his close friend, William A. Wilson, appointed as the first U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See.
5. Pope John Paul II tried to prevent the Iraq War
In the weeks before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, Pope John Paul II dispatched a Vatican diplomat, Cardinal Pio Laghi, to the White House with an unequivocal message: Stand down.
"He went in and tried to make the case," said John Carr, who worked for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at the time, "and the President gave the letter to an aide. In that letter was a warning about what might happen to the U.S. if it invaded, and almost all of those things have happened."
A year after the visit by Laghi, President George W. Bush awarded John Paul II the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the Vatican.
Bush holds the record for most meetings with Popes: six.
Atheism gives people zero hope. So, what's the purpose of atheism? Atheists can claim whatever they want, but what they do has nothing to do with their atheism. If anything, atheism gives people nothing but a hellish life of misery knowing that they believe they are here to just live and die. Their life literally has no meaning or purpose. They can claim all they want that they made in their purpose in life and don't need religion, but they have deluded themselves, because they believe we just die off (which by they way, they can't prove LOL!) Atheism is a depressing belief and should be kept away from our children. FREEDOM from ATHEISM.
Sure thing, sparky.
There is no truth on your site. You should look up the difference between belief and truth.
Happy Easter all!
and apologies to all the pagans that had their spring fertility festival stolen by the christians with the blatantly copied story from other previous cultures of the death and 3 days later resurrection of their god character.
so apologies for theft and plagiarism.

This hostel was in a fine area and close to the metro station. It was a good price for your money. It is more of an apartment feel then a hostel so there isn't very much atmosphere. The apartment was clean and had a kitchen and landry. However note that they pre authorized the payment on your credit card. You do get the money back once you arrive and pay cash, however it takes a few days.

Location is out of town, but the metro is just down the road so it really doesn't matter, especially for how cheap the place is! Easily the best value for money in Rome. Very helpful staff, and the hostel dog is awesome. Only downsides: One bathroom/toilet and the hostel closes between 11 and 2, so you have to leave... which is odd

The shower is atrocious - minimal water pressure and limited hot water. One evening I was in my room and heard heated arguments in Italian from the staff, then came out and saw one of them crying. Apart from that it was a fantastic stay, one of the staff taught me an Italian card game and were full of information about the city. Definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cute Thousand Sunny Hostel. It is situated a bit outside the city center, but that didn't bother us. Nevertheless, there were two things, which were disappointing: 1st: the shower water pressure and temperature were very low. Taking a shower was always a nightmare. 2nd: Mauricio, the owner, waked us up very rude at 10am every morning. Also the long closing time between 11am-2pm, made going out at night and having breakfast in the morning not easy. Bad :(

Really nice hostel, quiet, close to the metro station and all the amenities. For the breakfast you get a goodcoffee(espresso lungo) and a cornetto(croissant) for less than 2 euros in the orange bar just 50 meters from the hostel. In the hostel there is also a laundry service. And staff us really helpful. Grazie mille Ariana for your advice, kindness and for teaching me hiw to lake a good Italian coffee. I will definitely go back there whenI am back in the beautiful city of Roma!

There's some reviews on here that paint this hostel as some kind of bizarro scam but really it's just a nice quiet place to spend your time in Rome. This Hostel is a large converted apartment and all the staff are so ridiculously friendly that you won't regret booking this place. My only advice to the owners would be leaving an Emergency phone number or whatever during the night as some guy got a head wound one night and we didn't know where the first aid or anything was.

The hotel is clean and cozy, a nice place to stay. It located a few metro stops from the city center, i would say its not hard to reach the main attractions. There are supermarkets, and some really good restaurant near the hostel. The staff are very friendly & helpful, many useful advice :p The shower could be improved.

My home started out as a fairly traditional 2-story colonial -- small front hallway, dining room on one side, living room on the other, kitchen in back of the dining room. Over the years we've added on a family room, knocked down walls and re-purposed our living spaces (the dining room is now a "gathering room" adjacent to the kitchen; the original den is now the dining area), but our living room remains as it was, visually separated from our other living spaces, and virtually unused. It LOOKS like a living room because of how it's furnished, but it's certainly not used in that way. I should mention that the living room is separated from the dining area by a 5-foot wide opening that has French doors which can be kept open if we so choose. We can even remove those doors if it makes sense to do so. Without any further renovating, how can I make better use of my living room, which accounts for about 20% of my living space on the first floor? Do I repurpose it? Do I figure out a way to draw people in? Do I do something else? TIA for your suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd start by looking at the whole house and how you use each room. Then I'd look at what you want to do in your house and how easy/difficult it is to do each activity. It sounds to me as though you have done a lot of work to make the house work for you--you now have a combined gathering space and kitchen, you've made the den into a dining room. What else do you need? If you have small children, the living room could become a playroom. Or homework room. Or hangout for teenagers--their own space, but close enough to kitchen and other places the adults are for some supervision. Do you need a quiet, grown-up space away from the kids? This room could become your own personal retreat from the rest of the family. You could set it up so that you can invite friends over for a cup of tea there, or a game night. The living room could also become a library, if you have a lot of books. Add in bookshelves, a desk and comfy reading chairs. Or it could become rehearsal space for your rock band. Or a hobby and craft space, if you like to quilt or sew or paint or whatever. Or take all the furniture out and make it a yoga studio. Don't think of it as a living room. Think of it as a space where you can do whatever you want to do. |

What Camlan said. If I were in your situation, it would be a reading room. Shelves full of books and pictures, two (only two) comfortable chairs, great lamps, an ottoman and a table for a place to put my drink. Some floor stand candle holders so that sometimes I could just go in there, light the candles and be in peace. Maybe a charging station for my kindle. If I had some room left over, I'd put a game table and chairs in there. A few years ago I would have made it into a game room. Foosball table, pool table or air hockey table. Some barstools with backs on them for people to watch the game. Or you could make it into whatever special, indulgent style you like. Like a frilly pink room with blush walls, cream furniture, curtains with cabbage roses, coffee table with a china tea set on it. If my husband was a hunter who liked stuffed deer heads, I'd paint the walls green and hang all his taxidermy in there and put some comfy big chairs in there. What a great situation you have! Have fun with it. |

Thanks camlan and daisyinga! I'm liking the idea of making it into a reading room/library/office. A couple of comfy leather chairs, a couple of ottomans, a throw blanket for chilly days, a writing table... it's starting to come together for me. And what I especially like about this idea is that I can take the upholstered furniture from that room, which is practically unused, and use it in my family room. I'll need help with "decorator touches" but I'm beginning to get a vision of what's possible. Thanks, again! |

I think a lot depends upon the layout of the house. If the living room is right near the entry, I probably wouldn't want it to be a craft room or gym or something. But a library -- well, that's a living room with bookshelves and maybe a desk, right? Perfect. Depending upon how you entertain and how big and how formal your den that became dining area is, and especially if it's your casual dining area, my first instinct would be to make the living room a dining room. We repurposed most of the first floor of the house we are in now. An exercise room (which had formerly been a bedroom and office, and before that the original kitchen and dining room) became a library. The living room became a formal dining room, and a little office became a little sort of parlor-sized living room. (There was already a very big family room.) We realized that we did use our old living room, but rarely more than the middle of it. We haven't missed a big one. But it is nice to have a space that's always clean and ready to talk quietly with company; it doesn't need to be big. |

Yeah, there are enemies and swords and action, but these gameplay videos of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings aren't about all that stuff.
They are a beautiful and impressive look at the realistic world that's wrapped around the epic RPG that Namco Bandai has in store for us. There's no mention of the naked ladies also contained, but you don't want that spoiled for you.

Röyksopp and Robyn brought their dance collaboration to Fallon last night and performed the title track from their new Do It Again mini-album. Robyn wore a mustard yellow jacket with leg warmers and chunky sneakers and danced pretty much the whole time, except for when she delivered the climax of the song laying down on top of a table on stage. As expected, it's a high-energy performance and you can watch it below.
Röyksopp and Robyn's collaborative mini-album Do It Again is out now via Cherrytree.

Rayman's Innovative Multiplayer Wows on Wii U
Kevin Van Ord and Carolyn Petit talk about Ubisoft's first game for the Wii U.
Batman for WiiU looks interesting. Sometimes I miss not-so realistic graphics like on PS3 and 360.
I had the opportunity to work with these two as a teenager. Glad to see them on GameSpot now.
Who in their right mind would want to have to keep looking from their TV to the controller and also having to go from touch screen to buttons constantly? It looks utterly stupid and frustrating to boot. Not interested, and not even slightly interested in Wii U. I'll stick with standard controllers and games that don't require 4 hands.
Rayman Legends being exclusive for wii-u is going to sell quite a few people on it being worth while getting critical 3rd party support.
If they give game some replay value, then it will be really great. Origins was very nice, but once you finished it you didn't have a reason to come back.
This one really got me pumped! is a lot of action and craziness in all directions. I guess it would take a pretty coordinated team to go through all of the game in that fashion but is, nevertheless, interesting
I absolutely love the new aspect of multiplayer that the Wii U brings to the gaming world. For so long now, we've been playing together, but we're always doing the same thing. With the Wii U tablet allowing one person to be playing much differently than four other people, I feel that the living room experience we all remember from back in the N64 days, might finally be back again. I'm especially interested to see how the tablet is used for vs, rather than co-op. One may have an advantage over the other four, but then you just swap the controllers around. Very family game night friendly, it sounds like.
Well it is my first time seeing him... I did not know he was doing this... I came in for the game and did not understand What the hell he was doing...
That said... I am not going to play into his sick deluded fantasy... The man is ill sick... and feeding his psychosis is in it self twist and ill advised...
No mate how he destroys his body with all the hormones that do lead to health problems that is why they are pulling back woman off of the as menopause treatment... No matter the sick idea of mutilating oneself to cover the sick fact that HE is anything but a MAN it will not change any but his over all health as a person...
So I would rather him seek mental help for his psychosis than support or play a role in it.... I would rather him not mutilate his body or pumped full of drugs but do what you wish... I just think it is sick and disgusting that you would... rather see him do these horrible things to his body...
That being said...I m new gamespot and I don;t want to support this fantasy...
@cellblock1138 Why do you care so much? Instead of discussing the game and the Wii U there has to be a whole tread on this? Good lord. She a transgender alright. It is old news. Before you say "boo hoo someone is always here to defend him" I think we should focus our attention on the game not this nonsense. If is distracting as many people here claim. Go elsewhere. Her name and picture are on the video. So you know you are here to troll fuckers.
@cellblock1138 Carolyn's came out and made posts and even has videos talking about how she's pre op. Takes a lot of courage to do what she's doing man.
@DarthLod Well, if you are an adult with proper hand eye coordination, you can look either at the TV or the remote, because they are both showing the same image. Also, have you never played a proper DS game? Tons of those have you switching from touch screen to buttons.
@moviequest14 But also know that I won't boycott because they have too many other good titles lol. Nooo I only just boycott capcom cause they destroyed Megaman and haven't fixed it. They won't get a dime of my money till they right their wrongs.
@moviequest14 It makes me want to just boycott ubisoft. Rayman Origins was sick and a multi console release. To release a sequel to it for a new system that looks like a pain to play is a pretty lame move.
I don't know if you remember the launch of the Wii, but it took almost a year before they were actually in stores for more than a day (same with the gamecube launch too if I remember right). They were severely underproduced and people had to fight through crowds on shipment dates to get one whenever they arrived in store, and look at the Wii now. No good games, and a waste of money.
I won't be supporting Nintendo in the console market anymore and I think this is a lame move on Ubisoft's side. Nintendo is great with handheld's though, and I think that they should drop out of the console race and focus on the handheld aspect. This is definitely not the future of gaming.
@lazarius12 Why do people still think that the WiiU only supports one Tablet Gamepad? Nintendo already announced that it supports more than just one.
@lazarius12 All consoles support 4 players at this point. The problem is developers only make online multiplayer at this point, so there will probably never be a time like the N64 days again. I imagine the touch screen, much like on 3DS 3rd party titles will have very little use. This isn't the future of consoles, it's a trinket that's going to be useless.
@Iamshmee no mater hat you cut off it does not make you a woman... and feed his fantasy is sad....
@Iamshmee I respectfully disagree , the system needs to have exclusive titles , and...the fact you feel the way you do (being fairly angry) shows how much you want the game...and shows just why they decided to do that , exclusives sell systems. I for one applaud Nintend for growing the balls to go our and aggressively get 3rd party support (and exclusive too) , the fact that e3's just started , Nintendo hasn't even had either of their main shows , and they already have 3 + (?) fairly ''core'' 3rd party exclusives is pretty impressive (for Nintendo ). I 100% agree it's ridiculous what Nintendo's done with intentionally limiting stocks , even several years in it was nearly impossible to find a wii board. However I don't think that that had/s anything to do with the result of wii support drought. And again it is inaccurate to compare what will happen this gen to wii-u because of what happened last gen , if anything history has taught us it's that there are often massive leaps and changes in a single generation. Sony went from being lowest power and highest in sales to one of the contender's for highest power and became (for most of it's life) the lowest selling of 'the big 3' , Nintendo had gamecube , contender for highest power but lowest in sales and brought wii in for lowest in power but highest in sales.
And yeah , I still support the Resident Evil /Monster hunter side (because the games are just too damn good >.< ) , but it'll be long time if at all before I buy another megaman game , (in regards to the 3ds megaman cancellation ) to make a game , announce it , make headlines , ask some of the series biggest fans to contribute to develop it , and then cancel it only months before the (guessed) release with a piss-poor excuse is not even something a new studio would do , much less an ''experience'' company like capcom.
@nini200 Actually Nintendo hasn't announced support for additional tablets. Gaming websites have had it on their wishlist for a long time and, when contacted, Nintendo has said they are looking into it, but it has not been mentioned yet. They may still bring it up sometime this week, but I feel like it would have been mentioned during the Sunday night showing of the Wii U hardware.
@Iamshmee Well there already has been a time like the N64 days and it was called the Wii. I still pick up games to this day to play multiplayer games with my family. You Don't Know Jack, Rhythm Heaven and Mario Party 9 were all purchased within the last few months by me.
And we really can't say, one way or the other, how 3rd party titles will take advantage of the tablet. Sure the Wii had a lot of useless garbage from developers, and the 3DS hasn't seen much yet, but the DS was said to be a gimmick at one point and it's one of the best selling game players of all time now. The 3DS library will grow over time, so we'll just have to wait and see how companies react to the tablet controller.
@Iamshmee It's probably my fault for pointing it out haha. Exactly I completely agree with you. Why force someone into a life of suffering when they can change their life for the better and enjoy it.
@Connor728 well I'm just saying I didn't try emphasizing the word itself, all in all my bad though. Same here on the support of equality, people can do what they want with their lives as long as they aren't harming others. Gender, Religious, and Racial bias can all go out the door and people should just enjoy what little time they have here without trying to control eachother.
@Iamshmee Capping something doesn't make something a pun, I was just pointing it out for you. Your use of the word "man" emphasised the fact that Carolyn is actually a man, despite your effort of supporting her transgender identity. It's just something I picked up on from the discussion. Besides I'm all for equality anyway :D
@Connor728 I didn't cap it, so I wasn't trying to be punny. I'd just assume if somebody is sounding supporting they probably aren't insulting the person.
@Iamshmee your first reply to cellblock "Takes a lot of courage to do what she's doing MAN." You didn't have to put man at the end, it seemed on purpose that's all...
@cellblock1138 Honestly I think it's amazing that in this day and age someone who was born feeling like a woman has that option. Just because you are against it doesn't mean it is wrong. I've known a few transgender people in my life, and if you know there personality and weren't close minded you'd probably support them.
@cellblock1138 But it's her life not yours and your the sad one for going on about it because you have nothing else better to do. Who cares if Carolyn Petit is transgender she knows her stuff about video games and that's all that matters.
@Iamshmee ah , well I myself didn't know that and I check gamespot regularly , and I could understand someone being confused , but poking jokes is a bit .... unnecessary.
@moviequest14 Transexual, pre operation but already in hormone treatment . Think it's lame when people have to point it out. She has blog posts about it, and vids on youtube.
@moviequest14 Nintendo hasn't gone out agressively to get support. Ubisoft was the primary supporter of the Wii launch too with Red Steel, and the Raving Rabbids series and they stated they like to be on the support of a new console because the profits are good and worth it. It'd be cool if nintendo could make a full swing back to the support they received in the SNES days, but it's doubtful. Their handhelds do awesome and I'm all for it, but I'll probably wait a year or two before even thinking of picking one of these up.
Capcom went off the wagon when Keiji Inafune left and I hate to say it but I don't think they're coming back. Dragon's Dogma has my interest but I was dissapointed to see they had day 1 DLC and I imagine the content was on the disc. I liked RE4 but they've kind of destroyed the series by turning it from horror to pretty much pure action. Me personally, I've been playing Deadly Premonition and it's corny as all get out, but is still scarier than RE5 or O:RC.
@ExplicitMike I'm taking it as "...Wii sucks and they have nothing but casual games." because that's pretty much what you're saying when you say it's games are lame and boring, and built for a casual audience. As I said, opinions are opinions, but I was just saying that mine differ from yours and was trying to leave it at that.
@lazarius12 You are taking my words out of context. I am not parading the I hate Wii treat. I am stating my experience with the console. I do co-op, versus, and any same room multiplayer with friends and family. The PS3 and XBOX360 do that too. The games you mention are some of the most boring experiences I ever had. That doesn't mean my experience is the same as yours. I do what most people do with something they don't like. Sell it or let it sit there not being played. I didn't use the word hardcore you did. I didn't say all Wii games are casual games. I said it was marketed as such. Look, to me the console isn't what I sign up for. Motion controls didn't work properly and the games were lame. I am not sure why you are taking this as Wii sucks and they have nothing but casual games.
@ExplicitMike I'm not really sure why this turned into a Wii hate argument, when all I was bringing up was same room multiplayer. I'm not into co-op in games so perhaps your argument for the 360 having more "same room multiplayer" is towards that. You entitled to your opinions, but I still feel "casual" and "hardcore" get thrown around a bit too much. The Wii was designed to attract a ton of people who wouldn't normally play games, but I think it's a bit unfair to call ALL Wii games casual. Endless Ocean was a fantastic series that I enjoyed as a hardcore gamer, as was Rhythm Heaven.
@ExplicitMike Agreed 100%. Me and my fiance have gotten 1000x the use out of our 360 than our Wii. Can't really sell the Wii though cause most people won't pay more than $50 for the console.
@lazarius12 Listen. I got rid of my Wii because It was a joke system. many others will tell you the same thing. There was no games for me. They have maybe 4 games that I like. The N64 had way better ones. The whole same room mutli player thing is debatable. I played more games on the PS3,360 with my wife and friends than ever on my Wii. If you are still buying games for it great. I am glad is working out for you. To me and many other people the Wii was a device meant to attract a casual audience and nothing more. As for the Ds. I don't play it so I have no comment on it.
@lazarius12 I'm definitely not as hardcore of a gamer as I used to be, mainly because the core titles aren't as appealing these days. I do agree though in the Wii's dying stages before the new birth they are getting a lot of Japanese titles finally brought over, problem is tmost of em are about 4 years.
That's why I'm dissapointed about this release though is because my same room multiplayer is getting slowly killed. All I have left practically is Borderlands.
@Iamshmee I'm not trying to defend the Wii's library as a whole here. I'm just saying that I am a hardcore gamer and I still had Wii games this year. And the point about N64 multiplayer was not to say the Wii is better, but that no other system is embracing "same room multiplayer", which the Wii still does. I'm excited to see the Wii U take this further with the tablet and I hope that it is even more like the N64 days.
@lazarius12 He's not talking about quantity he's saying the Wii had a whole year of pretty much all third party casual games meant for people who don't play video games. I remember it going into the local game store and all the games were published by UFO or released the previous year.
@lazarius12 It still isn't the multiplayer dedicated gaming of our yesteryear. YDKJ was a great game, and I was curious about Rhythm Heaven, but a lot of my friends hate Rhythm games cause, well they don't have any Rhythm. I gave up on Mario Party in the gamecube days, it just isn't too much fun for me anymore. I have to agree with @ExplicitMike though, Wii can never compare to the N64. The DS was a surprise but Nintendo is also the master of handhelds. I don't remember being speculative of the DS as compared to the Wii, and now the WiiU.
@ExplicitMike You're bringing up quality, but then you go into quantity in the next sentence. Which are you fighting for? And the N64 had fewer years to pump out games before the next Nintendo console, so you have to take that into account. And did you mention how I just purchased three games in the last year for my Wii? I'm as hardcore as hardcore gamers get, so those were not casual games.
@lazarius12 N64 is one of the best consoles I ever had. Please don't compare it to the Wii. They are not even in the same league of quality games. N64 didn't go a whole year with nothing but casual games.
