Roonie.1986 5pts Another expensive POS from GM. A 4 banger in a 3700+ pound car. Not smart. I foresee another government bailout.
ThrottleBlip 5pts $35 Grand for a 4 Cylinder? Hell no. This is Luxury Car territory, not to mention 6 Cylinder rivals such as the Hyundai Azera can be had nicely loaded for this price.
himoses 5pts I am not understanding all the hate for the Impala. Sure, there are better cars and includes the LaCrosse... There are a few more things to consider. Chevy has a larger dealership spread versus Toyota and Buick. When you live in the densely populated east and west coast, this may seem like a non-issue, but the midwest and south do not have the luxury of being within 10 miles of 20 dealerships. GM is offering a car with an improved chassis and interior that looks nicer than the previous one. The pricing is well in line with competitors and it does make sense given their strong midwest and southern demand. We get a handsome car with a stout V6. I am not certain that the Avalon, Taurus, LaCrosse, or Azera are better cars, either although it is hard to beat the overall value of the Avalon. While we may only be delaying the inevitable, I wish a few people would withhold their judgment on which is the best overall car until they have either driven everything or at least read some comparison reviews. The main thing we can compare is looks.
SAAN 5pts I wait until next fall and gets a used 2014 3.6 LT model for $18K, ill let some other sucker take the 7-8k in deprecation that Impalas get after 1 yr. The currect 2012 LTZ is 32K and can be found for $18K on dealer lots.
PAAdam 5pts Can the guys hating this car just because it is not their fan brand's refrain themselves from ridiculing themselves please? All I see is a nice looking inside/out model that finally drives quite well with the disadv. it is rather heavy. I kind of like it but I would have to test drive it to know whether I would choose it over some other models out there.
R.I.POLDS2004_. 5pts I like what Chrysler/Fiat is doing with there Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM & SRT brands. They are streamlining those brands not to have product overlap, GM should do the same.
vtr 5pts It will likely be very heavy like the Lacrosse and I would expect no better than about 6.7secs to 60mph w the V6. Visibility looks to be limited with a high cowl and short greenhouse so the style comes with a penalty. MPG will fall short of competitors by at least 2mpg or more w the V6 and way short with the hybrid e-assist compared to competitive hybrids. Basically a Chevrolet versions of the heavy Lacrosse which has been out for a few yrs now.
Holee-Driver 5pts This car has one of the cheapest dated interiors I have seen with this recent crop of new models. All topped off with a steering wheel that looks one part Sega genesis controller and one part Dodge intrepid. The console and dash look like they are made from left over last gen Malibu parts and pieces of luggage. This will be a fleet/rental queen like the last Impala. At least the exterior can fool people for a few minutes. Hell, the Charger should punish this half effort without breaking a sweat. Followed by the 300 and Avalon. Bad form GM.
pennrck22 5pts cant wait to put this car in our garage.. EASILY one of the best looking cars inside and out
Black Dynamite 5pts GM says the car will gain 150 pounds, bringing it over 3700 lbs.Well, at least it's lighter than a Camaro.....BD
skyguy 5pts This car looks great and I only hope it does well. We all have a stake in GM and thousands of our fellow Americans earn their livelihoods from GM. That said, GM components outsourced to the lowest bidders results in lower reliability and quality which drives discerning buyers away. Nice interiors and appealing designs aren't enough to have a competitive edge anymore.
NICKOO 5pts Chevy is smoking crack if they think anyone is going to pay 27-37k for an impala. Seeing their new pricing structures on this and Malibu, and their massive failure of the XTS (read ttac review on it), I have switched from hoping they would be ok post bailout to actively rooting for their demise. Bailing out GM was the worst use of taxpayer money ever, clearly they didn't learn their lesson, we should have sold them to the Chinese, at least then we wouldn't be on the hook for them when they go b/k again in 5 years...
NICKOO 5pts Compare this ridiculously priced car to AWD charger R/T trim levels and have a good laugh at Chevy. That is all.
Black Dynamite 5pts I like this design (and I like the Malibu too). The car itself won't be the problem.The price with a V6, the high sills will make you feel like you're in a 4-door Camaro, the rental car image (Impala is not a big retail seller to begin with), and the fuel economy of this compared to the competition will all be issues.When a buyer rolls up and sees all the V6 Impalas with $35k stickers, they will start searching for $28k Malibus on the lot. Which is really what Chevy wants in the first place......BD
Alex daOriginal 5pts doesn't the current Impala start at just under this? it'll do fine. it is vastly imrpvoed over the old car, and the V6 starting at 30'000 is about the same as the old Impala SS when it comes to power and preformance, plus it kills the old SS in features and ride and such XD
Logan814 5pts Starting at 27k with the V6 would be fine, but $900 more than the Taurus starting price except with a weak 2.5l 4 banger?
Joshua Rich 5pts Looks like GM is recreating a Ford/Mercury/Lincoln situation. With the 2014 Impala, who needs a Buick? The problem is that brands overlap, creating a lack of need for the other brand, thus cannibalizing sales of other brands in the GM family. I guess GM didn't learn anything from Pontiac or Oldsmobile. On another side, Chevrolet has got to do something with the Impala's image/target market. Currently, the car is driven by a cop, as a rental, or an ethnic person. The market does not see it as a viable competitor to Avalon, Taurus, Accord, or most others and does not bring a good image to the car.
R.I.POLDS2004_. 5pts Chevy seems to not know its role, they are supposed to be entry level. 27 thou for a base Chevrolet?
NICKOO 5pts Dear chevy. STOP. I repeat, STOP trying to take your brand upmarket and pricing the cars to match. Chevy = entry level, Buick = midlevel, Caddy = top. You are killing buick's reason to exist and pricing yourself out of the low end of the market. Remember how you sold about a billion of the W body impalas because they were cheaper than dirt? Those days are now over, good luck trying to match total profits when you sell about 5-10% as much volume. Also over: Anyone's reason to buy a buick lacrosse, ever.
coxdenni 5pts @Roonie.1986 Expensive? Based on what? Look at other full size sedans and tell me where this one falls in price wise. As to saying a 4 banger in a 3700 pound car not being smart its a Turbo 4 cylinder with at least 250 horsepower. VERY SMART!
coxdenni 5pts @ThrottleBlip 4 Cylinder turbo with over 250 horsepower that will smoke the POS Hyundai.
coxdenni 5pts @SAAN The 12 has that depreciation because they are a fleet heavy model right now. The 14 wont be so the depreciation will be minimal for this vehcile.
coxdenni 5pts @vtr Most other makers fuel claims fall short of their real world numbers. I have found almost every GM car exceeds the EPA numbers on the window sticker. Regal with E-Assist is rated at 36 mpg. A friend of mine got 38 MPG with the cruise set at 80 on a 4 hour trip. Way better mileage than the window sticker shows.
First it giveth 5pts @Holee-Driver BD is a fan of rice bangers and will take any shot to GM that he can. Up in Michigan we have seen a few of these around town and they actually look great in person. Sure they are backing down on power but hey so is everyone else. Complaining over a steering wheel is just silly, to be honest this car is going to attract a crowd actually in their 30's, every Avalon i have seen has been driven by a person 50 and up. I'll admit the Charger and 300 are better, but at the same time they are hard to compare to the Crapalon and the Impala.
coxdenni 5pts @skyguy Seeing how GM is using more expensive parts I would like to know where you get this outsourcing to the lowest bidders crap. GM is actually giving business to comapnies with high quality. Have you heard since 2009 who has the FEWEST RECALLS? GENERAL MOTORS!
coxdenni 5pts @NICKOO You may want to do some research because the XTS has very satisfied customers and its selling way better than GM expected it to. $27,000 for an Impala isnt crazy because of the quality of the vehicle and its looks. The LaCrosse starts at $32,000 so $5,000 less for the Chevy model seems right. Also look at the starting price for the Avalon and Taurus which are the direct competition for the new Impala.
renata25 5pts Your prediction of demise has not shown on their balance sheet. They are in better position than many companies on the global scale. Overall, the XTS has meet good reviews by many publications, and the ATS has received extremely good ones.
Black Dynamite 5pts @NICKOO The XTS is moving a steady 2500 a month, TWICE what the much cheaper ATS is doing. That's pretty good for a new $45k carThe XTS is not the problem.BD
coxdenni 5pts @NICKOO Yeah if you really want a laugh look at the quality rankings for all Crapsler products then look at the Chevy line. The Impala has quality that Crapsler only wishes they could get in 1 of their piles of crap. I think only Suzuki has worse quality than all 4 Crapsler brands according to JD Power.
coxdenni 5pts @Black Dynamite The Impala only since 2010 has been a big Fleet car. In 2007 and 2008 they were 200,000 units to retail customers.
coxdenni 5pts @Logan814 IT WILL BE A TURBO with over 250 horsepower! GM isnt going to put a regular 4 cylinder in it they are trying to do away with their regular 4 cylinder. They are switching to E-Assist or Turbos.
coxdenni 5pts @Joshua Rich The people buying a Buick are not going into a Chevrolet dealership. There is very little overlap here. I sold Chevrolets and I currently sell Buick/GMCs I know what I am talking about. People come to Buick because the ride is way better than a Chevy, the vehicles are much more quiet, AND the Warranty is much better 4 years 50k bumper to bumper over 3/36,000 and 6 years 70,000 powertrain over 5/100,000
renata25 5pts Much of that had to do with the fact that they had Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevy, Buick and Cadillac all selling either products that were exactly the same in an enormous amount of dealerships. Having only GMC, Buick, and Chevy is no where near that level, and in line with other auto-makers. Buick exists particularly because of the Chinese market, so I can understand that move. Also, the LaCrosse is a bit more upscale than the Impala.
Lou_313 5pts @Dan Smith I actually remember in the 1990's-early 2000's when Chevy Cavaliers were basically throw-away cars, dealers advertised them for $8,000-$10,000 brand new, and they sold like crazy despite having almost zero content, and poor crash test ratings to boot. Not saying GM should build anything that mediocre in this day & time, but an inexpensive, no frills, 40+ MPG run-a-bout would probably be a huge sleeper hit in this market if an automaker could create it profitably, and actually market it (Nissan not included, since they rarely even stock the "stripper" $10k Versas).
Lou_313 5pts @Dan Smith I agree, I do think GM needs to return Chevrolet to its roots. I think you get quite a bit of substance for the dollar, but Chevrolet appears to be doing a "Ford" and overlapping some of their top trims with their more premium brands. The public is very conscious of price, fuel mileage, and reliability (perceived or otherwise). Content would take a backseat if the product simply looked good, didn't fall apart before 100,000 miles, got exceptional MPG's, and had a significant price advantage over competitors. The current Chevy Spark for example, if priced at or under the $10k mark and stripped of most of the gadgets & fluff, would probably be a best seller for young drivers, hypermilers, and frugal buyers. Just my opinion.
coxdenni 5pts @NICKOO LaCrosse starts at $32,000 and tops at $44,000. You have no credibility at all.
renata25 5pts They need to raise the price in order to be profitable, and it is still cheaper than the LaCrosse. The LaCrosse starts at almost 32K, and is more refined. Also, Buick exists due to China, where they are selling 20K Veranos a month.
himoses 5pts @NICKOO The Lacrosse has a steady following and a better interior. You also miss the point that there are a lot of separate Buick/GMC and Buick/Cadillac dealers. Many of these dealerships offer a better experience dealership over their Chevrolet counterparts.
Alex daOriginal 5pts @NICKOO the XTS starts at like 40-45K and Buick and Caddies get AWD Chevy doesn't
mikegnz1 5pts @NICKOO I don't agree. They are keeping Chevy as their "econo-line". The impala is essentially their flagship sedan. It will top out in the high 30k range. Buick is mid level...their flagship tops out in the mid 40k range. Caddy's flagship, the XTS (which is caddy's impala) tops out in the 60k + range. If you want an inexpensive car, you can buy a stripped down cruze or aveo. Those will be under 20k.
Holee-Driver 5pts @jimmyP How is it dated you ask? To quote my earlier statement " ...steering wheel that looks one part Sega genesis controller and one part Dodge intrepid. The console and dash look like they are made from left over last gen Malibu parts and pieces of luggage." Its not clean, contemporary, nor does it have nostalgic value. The interior looks like a collections of a bunch of peoples leftover ideas after they were done redesigning the Malibu. I realize I probably offended you with my statement but I will not STFU unless you can provide me with solid evidence to the contrary. I do not believe you are capable of this. I think BD was right about you.
Black Dynamite 5pts @jimmyP STFU is gonna be on your tombstone, so why do you use the other words? That's not you....BD
Joshua Rich 5pts @renata25 Yes, you are right. Nearly the same products were being sold under different names....but wasn't Mercury a Ford with a few more bells and whistles? Pontiac, had more options than a Chevy, Oldsmobile had more than Pontiac, and Buick more than Oldsmobile. All of these were overall, the same product with a slightly different body and similar price point. That was the problem. The LaCrosse is more upscale than Impala, but the price is similar and the Impala is overpriced for its brand. This overpriced "luxury" of the Impala will create either a lesser need for the Impala or a lesser need for Buick. One or the other. Toyota, even though I cannot stand the company, does this well. Scion, Toyota, and Lexus know their places in the market and have a defined target market. GM hasn't figured that one out yet.
NICKOO 5pts @Alex daOriginal @NICKOO Charger R/T (or SXT if you prefer 6 cylinders and 8 gears) with AWD smacks this overpriced joke upside it's head in style, driving, price, and features. That is all.
coxdenni 5pts @Holee-Driver @jimmyP The interior looks nothing like the Malibu. WHat drugs are you on?
coxdenni 5pts @NICKOO @Alex daOriginal And at the end of the day it will be at the dealership being fixed at least twice a year because its a Crapsler. They arent dead last in quality because their products are good.

State budget cuts may put vulnerable adults out of work
Sad, mad and lousy are just a few words used to describe how a group of local Kowalski's employees would feel if the state cut human services programs that help place Minnesotans with developmental disabilities in various jobs around the metro area.
Gov. Mark Dayton is proposing a $4.6 million cut per year, which would reduce revenues for Merrick Inc., a nonprofit company that helps place persons with disabilities in jobs, by $300,000.

text: Three non-tech entities that will change tech by Shelley DuBois @FortuneMagazine July 23, 2010, 12:55 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Trend Micro CEO Eva Chen explains how the media, a clothing manufacturer and a Chinese version of Wal-Mart will rock the tech world By Shelley DuBois, reporter Some of the companies that will change the way the world uses technology won't be tech companies at all, according to Eva Chen, co-founder and CEO of a web security company called Trend Micro. She was speaking as part of a 3-3-3 series at this year's Brainstorm Tech. The idea is for execs at tech companies spend three minutes on three tech companies that they think are going to matter in three years. The first tech game changer she mentioned wasn't a company, but the media. Chen believes that the people who write the news will exploit technology like tablets in phones that will change the way the rest of the world reads. She gave a shout out to a clothing company called Texma Inernational Co. that made the jerseys that some teams wore during the World Cup. Texma used a string made of plastic from recycled bottles combined with other fabric to make jerseys that cool the wearer. Finally, she said, a company that looks like a Chinese version of Wal-Mart, called RT-Mart, will change the tech world. RT-Mart is using cloud computing and web 2.0 technology to inform small vendors in rural areas about how to produce food or ship products in the most efficient way. "It's what you read, what you wear, and, in fact, what you can eat that will change our world using technology," Chen says.

Spyker's 2007 challenger, the F8-VII, concluded a successful first day's running at the UKs Silverstone circuit on Tuesday. With Christijan Albers driving, the team completed 200km and focused on testing systems and gathering data on the new car in advance of its first proper test in Barcelona next week.
Freezing conditions limited track time, but chief technical officer, Mike Gascoyne, was pleased with the team's progress throughout the day: "We've had a very successful shakedown despite the cold weather and icy track, which limited our running to between 11am and 4pm, and we had no major mechanical problems.
It's a tribute to the hard work of the the guys back at the factory that we got the car ready on time and everything ran very smoothly. We expect similar track conditions tomorrow, when we look to continue testing the systems and picking up as much data as we can for Barcelona."
Albers added: "Today we had a really good day, even with the icy track and cold weather. I was happy to do a few laps and learn about the car, and really pleased that there were no major problems. We've now got a good platform for the first test in Barcelona next week, especially with Adrian (Sutil) putting in some more miles tomorrow. Everyone has worked so hard to get the car out on time - they deserve a lot of thanks."
The F8-VII's second shakedown day will take place at Silverstone on Wednesday, with Albers' team mate Sutil replacing the Dutchman at the wheel.

Senior Member
Seriously? I have no idea. She is a great top laner, if not one of the best top laners right now. She beats mostly everybody, her damage is insane, can poke, great at 1v1 fighting, easy to juke with. Please, somebody explain whats so bad about her going top.
No idea, maybe they think AP = Mid only.
Nothing bad about taking her top, some even say she's OP there. You're teammates are just stupid.
She's a really solid top laner, people don't understand her strength yet like a lot of champions on there release. Kind of like Syndra, I think she is a really solid burst mage that brings pretty decent utility to the team. But she has a decent skill cap, and felt a bit clunky on release so no one plays her. The season 3 items will probably make Elise overpowered though. Most of the player base seems to think that a champion who can't be mastered on day 1 of their release is under powered and need buffs.
Lord Gildarts
Darius says hi.
Junior Member
Elise is the only champ I play since she came out. She's perfect up top. Anyone who says she cant' top is retarded and needs to play as her to see it.
Squishy, not overly useful in teamfights, leaves your team comp weak come late game unless you have a really tanky mid (Like Vlad/Swain) and a Tanky DPS jungler. If you just jump in queue and lock Elise, you're going to be rather unhelpful.
Oris Mador
No love for a redback spider? She seems fine top, mid and jungle. I don't see the problem.

Clubs ambition sealed the deal - Agard
After finally signing for the Millers following a second stint of contract talks, Kieran Agard tells the Advertiser why he decided to join.
The 22 year-old explains: "The stadium was a big factor in me signing. It's fantastic and a lot bigger than you expect. The fans were singing all through the game (on his debut) and my mum was watching too so it was nice to score a goal for her.
"I think I can bring a lot of pace to the side, and I can score goals. I'm naturally fit and keep myself in good shape so missing a little bit of pre-season shouldn't be a major issue
"I did have a few League One clubs make an offer for me, but none of them could match the ambition here at Rotherham."I'm pleased to be here and hopefully we can have a great season."

Mayan Ruins of Tikal, Guatemala
It's unknown why Tikal, a once-powerful trading capital and centerpiece of the mighty Mayan empire, was abandoned sometime after the year 900 and left for the Guatemalan jungle to reclaim. The ancient city of stone palaces, courtyards, and pyramid temples that once spanned around 20 square miles was completely forgotten for centuries until it was discovered accidentally by a local in 1884. Today, gung ho travelers can freely explore the ruins of more than 3,000 structures that have been excavated by university archaeologists (with many more yet to be unearthed). These remains are anchored by five Mayan pyramids with names like Temple of the Jaguar Priest and are connected by trails winding through the 142,000-acre Tikal National Park. Look for petroglyphs of Mayan gods such as Ixchel on the stone steles and altars erected in the main acropolis, check out the ball court where the Mayans played a curious version of soccer (which ended in human sacrifice for the losers), and climb to the top of Temple IV (the tallest pyramid) to gaze out over the treetops and imagine what the city might have looked like in all its glory.
Follow the right path: There are many tour outfits with overnight trips to the Tikal ruins. Mayan Travel offers one- and two-day tours that include airfare from Guatemala City. If you'd rather explore on your own, catch a bus from the town of Flores to Tikal National Park and the beginning of the trails.

Column by Alex R. Knight III.
Exclusive to STR
Of course, it's already common knowledge for the most part that Vermonters have the temerity to carry firearms without any form of government say-so – even neighboring "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire will not suffer such uppitiness from the mere non-governmental hoi polloi. But another freedom – albeit not nearly as well known – exists here in the Green Mountains, one which must make the political psychopaths in neighboring regions fume with teeth-gnashing rage. For as evidenced in the press in recent times, government savagery is second-to-none when dealing with this perceived menace: Pennsylvania farmers have had their entire operations seized, and have been hit with insane fines on account of it. Recently, a group of women known as the Freedom Riders procured some, then went and consumed it in front of FDA headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. A farmer in Minnesota has recently sworn to keep selling it, even if he's jailed by government thugs. And as if these transgressions against the unquestionable authority of the State were not brazen enough, the Pennsylvania Amish have even gotten in on the act – leaving government agents no choice but to organize full-blown SWAT-style raids against these evil pacifists.I'm of course talking about raw milk. Yes, Vermonters actually have the gall to produce, sell, and consume it. And the parasites in Montpelier actually sanction it.To be sure, raw milk is made subject to numerous inspections and restrictions by said parasites, and is only supposed to be sold for "fluid consumption." This means it is not supposed to be sold for "manufacturing of milk products other than fluid milk."

LOVELOCK, NV - Nevada Highway Patrol troopers are investigating the death of a California woman on Interstate 80 Tuesday morning about four miles west of Lovelock.
About 12:45AM, troopers responded to the accident in the eastbound lanes.
Troopers say preliminary investigation reveals 18-year-old Michalea Vines, from Antelope, was walking on the paved shoulder. Vines walked toward the fog line and partially into the travel lane and tried to signal an approaching pickup for help. The pickup hit Vines, and the driver pulled over to help her, according to troopers. She died at the scene.
Troopers say Vines may have been drinking, and alcohol may be a contributing factor in this accident.

Everybody's heard of tonsils. But not everyone knows what tonsils do or why they may need to be removed. Knowing the facts can help alleviate the fears of both parents and kids facing a tonsillectomy.
Tonsils are clumps of tissue on both sides of the throat that help fight infections.
Tonsils may swell when they become infected (tonsillitis). If you look down your child's throat with a flashlight, the tonsils may be red and swollen or have a white or yellow coating on them. Other symptoms of tonsillitis can include:
Enlarged tonsils without any symptoms are common among kids. Left alone, enlarged tonsils may eventually shrink on their own over the course of several years.
Don't rely on your own guesses, though — it can be hard to judge whether tonsils are infected. If you suspect tonsillitis, contact your doctor. Recurrent sore throats and infections should also be evaluated by the doctor, who may order a throat culture to check for strep throat.
Doctors might recommend surgical removal of the tonsils, called a tonsillectomy, for a child who has one or more of the following:
Surgery, no matter how common or simple the procedure, is often frightening for kids and parents. You can help prepare your child for surgery by talking about what to expect. During the tonsillectomy:
Your child will wake up in the recovery area. Expect to spend several hours or perhaps overnight at the hospital. Many kids go home on the same day, though some may require observation overnight. In general, kids under 3 years old and those with significant sleep problems (like apnea) will usually stay overnight for observation.
Rarely, kids may show signs of bleeding, which would require a return to the operating room.
Depending on the surgical technique, the typical recuperation after a tonsillectomy may take up to a week or more. Expect some pain and discomfort due to the exposure of the throat muscles after the tonsils are removed. This can affect your child's ability to eat and drink and return to normal activities.
Intracapsular tonsillectomy, a variation on traditional tonsillectomy techniques, is surgery in which all involved tonsil tissue is removed but a small layer of tonsil tissue is left in place to protect the underlying throat muscles. As a result, the recovery is much faster because most kids experience less pain, don't need as much strong pain medication, and are more willing to eat and drink. Additionally, the risk of bleeding after surgery is significantly less than with a traditional tonsillectomy. Since residual tonsil tissue remains, there is a very slight chance that it can re-enlarge or become infected and require more tonsil surgery, but this occurs in less than 1% of children who've had intracapsular tonsillectomy.

In case you missed it (and let's face it, who's watching Bobcats games?), Kemba Walker had a scary ankle roll Saturday night and will miss 10-14 days. He's gonna need a walker for a while after that! Cricket cricket, cricket cricket. "That's not funny JB, it's just cruel…" So what if I have Cruel Intentions?! Now I wanna make out with Selma Blair… So what if I'm not Sarah MG (I didn't even want to bother Googling that be sure I had it spelled right…)?! This is way off the rails… Back to Walker, he's a guy that relies on speed and explosiveness, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the full two weeks and even more. Cue the Ramon Sessions puns! As a North Carolinian, I guess I am more a Hornets Bobcats fan than any other team, so I may be biased, but I like Sessions and think he can be a decent stream the next two weeks in 12-teamers that need a desperate solid starter. He's an emergency Sessions! Hey that's the title! In 38 minutes against the Heat, Ramon went 16/3/5 shooting 6-10 and 4-4 from the stripe. The 5 TOs are no fun, he does turn the ball over a tad too much, but I think the underrated aspect of his game is he constantly gets to the stripe and shoots good FT%. He's at 3.4 makes a game at 79% this year, after being at 83% the previous two seasons. And last year when he was at 27 minutes a game (22 per thus far in 13-14), he hit 4.8 FTs a game. He'll easily get low-to-mid 30 minutes per contest while Walker, Texas Ranger is out, so if you need some scoring, dimes, and that sweet boost of FT shooting in a tough matchup this week or next, or to pad those stats in roto, Sessions is in sess… Eh, well you get it… Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy basketball:
Devin Harris
As an ancient proverb goes – "I'd like to introduce you to an old friend and a new friend." Ok, so I made that up. But it sounds good!
For an old friend I've mentioned a few times and pumped up in my last rankings update before the season started up, my boy Omri Casspi had another solid outing last night that probably was under the radar. In 24 minutes, he went 7/8/5 with no turnovers, 2-4 from the field and 3-4 from the line. He just looks awesome every time I see him play. Did you know he was the first Israeli to play in the NBA? He's pretty much Chandler Parsons but with Chandler Parsons in his way. After a ho-hum first two games, his past two have been fantastic – and this last one without hitting a three which is a big part of his game. Not necessarily a must own in 12-teamers, but definitely worth a look, and needs to be grabbed in 14+.
Then my new friend – Gal Mekel on the Mavericks. You're like, "who the eff is Gal Mekel? I thought this was NBA not WNBA!" Mekel was signed to a three-year deal by the Mavs this offseason, and became the second Israeli to join the NBA. Cut to Amar'e Stoudemire going, "Hey, I should count!" With Shane Larkin dealing with an ankle injury, and no Devin Harris for a while, Mekel is getting full-on backup PG run and playing well doing it. He got his 2nd 6 assist game last night going 9/4/6 and hitting a 3. Sure some run was in junk time, but with the oft-injured Jose Calderon the only one ahead of him (hasn't played in over 68 games since 2007), Mekel could find his way into starts. Of course, now I've ruined my play on him in the REL League. Let's just hope no one in that league is reading! Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The period of free agency continues to shape the fantasy basketball-scape with fresh meat on terrible teams and players signing with contenders to be relegated to bench duty. With baseball in full swing and the NFL getting half of the ESPN air time no matter what time of year it is, a lot of NBA moves have been made under the radar. Look for every division to get a team-by-team breakdown and some early fantasy thoughts on the new faces in new places:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Razzball Nation! If you have made it this far, you are either in the championship of your league or semi-finals. Or you play roto, which, let's face it, almost everyone saves for baseball. However, the end of the season is more like the end of fantasy football than baseball with teams benching their stars with the playoffs a mere few weeks out. It's the perils of owning great players on the elite teams. Just ask my buddy who I knocked off in my fantasy football championship years ago when the Eagles benched McNabb and Westbrook on Monday Night Football. Then the Eagles lost to my Panthers in the NFC Championship (I think it was that year, might be wrong – can I have another fact checker? I'm too lazy for Google). But I digress.
The Heat benched both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade with "injuries" on Sunday, and both are listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Knicks. What, are they the new Patriots? Actually it's a lot closer than you'd think. You have Brady/Bron who get booed everywhere, Wade/… Eh, doesn't really work does it. If you're a Chris Bosh owner, you're loving this. Especially if you're up against LeBron in your championship, like I am in one league. But in another I have LeBron. Conflicted feelings! Just like my reaction to Prometheus. Man does it look awesome, but the script got fewer revisions than White Chicks (originally Black Chicks).
Let's get down and dirty with what went down across the NBA last night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Moe Harkless struck the Thunder for a career high 25 points last night and the rookie added 9 rebounds, 4 steals, 4 blocks and hit 3 threes. I've been pushing Moe for a while now, so this performance was a long time coming. Maurice is averaging a mediocre 10.7 pts and 5.4 rebounds over the past two weeks, but what really raises my fantasy eyebrow is the 3 steals a game. Do you know where your wallet is? No? Probably because Harkless just took it. Just like that. He's that good. In fact, Moe has 21 steals in the past 6 games alone! Hashtag cleptomanic! Nikola Vucevic sat this game, and Arron Afflalo left the game in the first quarter in some serious pain. This explains Moe's 45 minutes, and he should get major burn and plenty of touches going forward. Harkless is available in over 20% of leagues, if your looking for a playoff push, Harkless has all the tools to fill up all a stat sheet. And the steals! *drools Go steal him from waivers before someone else does!
Here's what else happened in fantasy basketball Friday night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?So I was at working my job logging highlights last night for the Brooklyn Nets at Dallas Mavericks (which was on the ESPN broadcast), and there were at least 20-30 updates/mentions/ohhhhh-ing and ahhhhh-ing about the Heat Cavs game where the Heat found themselves down more than 20 only to come back and win it. Jeff Van Gundy is like that annoying friend you keep around in your group – he does something funny half the time then irks you the other half. On the tip-off between Chris Kaman and Brook Lopez he said, and I'm paraphrasing, "that was the worst tip in NBA history, they shouldn't be allowed to tip off ever again!" Pretty good stuff. Then, and admittedly I was checking the score too, all he and the other guy were talking about was the Heat game. What about the other fans? Even at halftime, the crew said they would give highlights for the Thunder game and Bill Simmons was like, "no I'm watching the Heat game." I get it ESPN it was the biggest game of the night, but sheesh.
After a rough first half, LeBron James absolutely went off, ending his night with both a rainbow line and a triple-double going 8-22 FG (3-7 3PTM) 25 Pts 12 Rebs 10 Asts 3 Stls and 2 Blks. If that's not gonna win you your first round of the playoffs, then you need better ancillary players! Ok so I'm a hypocrite and my open is all about the Heat game and nothing else… Let's just dive right into other action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?As a very fair skinned, freckly and tall guy (makes me closer to the sun) I have had my problems beating the heat. One time in college (I went to UNCW so on the beach) I got burnt so bad on my legs it made me get shaky and more loopy than Joseph Gordon-Levitt. My friends thought I pulled an Ewan McGregor and snuck in some heroin. Suffice to say, I got some serious additional freckling on my calves. With their long slender shape and pretty much invisible blonde hairs, I could pass them off as Lindsay Lohan's legs. Enough celebrity mentions already!
Unfortunately for the Celtics, St. Patty's didn't carry on into Monday night as the Heat led by LeBron James' 37-7-12 (including this abuse of Jason Terry) were able to keep the streak alive at 23. Although the city of Boston probably would have gotten blackout drunk again either way. With no Kevin Garnett, the C's gave another start to Jeff Green who exploded his green-ness on the Heat like Nickelodeon gak. He was the Green Monstah last night, going for a career-high 43 with 5 3PTM, 7 Rebs, 2 Asts, 2 Stls, and 4 Blks. Easily one of the best fantasy lines of the year for who is becoming a huge pickup for owners who nabbed him. Speaking of getting nabbed, check out this guy nabbing a few boogers on national TV. Proves you can do anything if you have the charm. Just look at that wink with the debonair of Mark Harmon/Dennis Quaid. I thought no more celebrity references!
Let's take a look at what else went down last night across the NBA:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shaun Livingston had another nice game Friday night with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in 38 minutes. If you're waiting for Kyrie Irving to return and save your team, you're just as sad and depressing as every other Cavs fan and you may be disappointed. Don't wait till its too late, any player is better than an injured player in the playoffs because injured players don't play! Fact! Meanwhile, Shaun Livingston is just 12% owned and averaging 12.5 points, 6 assists and 3.5 rebounds in two games starting since Irving went down. He also chipped in 4 steals and a block in that span. Livingston is not a huge scorer, but he could provide decent value in some other categories and will get plenty of burn in the Cleveland back court if you are looking for a player to help down the stretch.
Here's what else happened in fantasy basketball Friday night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I've never been that bothered by snakes. Now I never went out of my way to play with them or anything (except my own – bada bing!), but never ran the other way either except when I was in New Mexico when I was like 7. When I was working on my parents mountain house when I was in high school, there was a snake under the scrap heap I was clearing and I killed that little bitch with a shovel. If that doesn't boost your testosterone, then I guess you need to contact Tony Bosch at Biogenesis. The resident snake of the NBA (in name only – easy Laker fans), Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba himself, went down hard after twisting his ankle last night, and blames Dahntay Jones for intentionally crowding him. I thought snakes didn't have ankles? Well, this injury after sliding into 8th place in the West just puts the icing on the cake of the Lakers ridiculous season. Right now the prognosis is "out indefinitely." About all you can do is make your sacrifices to the fantasy gods and cross your fingers. One thing Kobe has going for him is that he is resilient to injury and can heal quickly. He's kinda like the Derek Jeter of the NBA. And Jeter never had any ankle issues…. I could see Bryant back sooner rather than later, but stay tuned.
Here's what else went down in fantasy basketball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I love all fantasy sports. Baseball might be my favorite, just because it's so long and hard and there's so many guys to choose from…
But there are moments, fleeting highlights and moments, that I think make Fantasy Basketball special. Like yesterday, with DeAndre Jordan absolutely murdah-ing Brandon Knight on the alley. If you're on your computer, just go to ESPN or NBA. I mean Daaaaahhhhuuuummmm. Lots of twitters about it, but my favorite might have been from Knight himself: "It wasn't in the scouting reports that the clippers threw lobs lol". Hah! Glad to see he isn't in a deep depression. Makes it more fun that everyone can smile about it. ESPN then had a top ten of posterized moments. All the others looked like the posterizee was about to kill the posterizer. I'm 6'7 and I got posterized once by a guy the same height, but I didn't know he had hops. I just smiled and went my way, and luckily everyone didn't go nuts/it wasn't in front of 15,000 people. Or else I'd be more Patrick Ewing than Brandon Knight.
Fantasy-wise, Jordan is still the barely-ownable center he has been all year. You should get a bonus for posterized dunks. Had one of his best games of late going 5-5 13 Pts 7 Rebs 1 Ast and 2 Blks. Been at least 7 and 5 with a block the last five. If you need blocks plus want to be on the edge of your seat if you only watch highlights of players on your team, give Jordan a look if he's available.

Lewis Hamilton set an eye-catching time in Barcelona testing on Wednesday
New Mercedes recruit "pretty happy" with day's work
By Mike Wise in Barcelona. Last Updated: 20/02/13 6:43pm
Lewis Hamilton generated a ripple of interest with his fastest lap in testing on Wednesday but Mercedes' new recruit was more concerned by tyre wear at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Hamilton ended the day fourth fastest on the timesheets with a lap of 1:22.726 seconds. That effort was nearly nine tenths slower than the fastest of all, set by his successor at McLaren Sergio Perez, but the Mexican was on the soft compound tyre.
By contrast, Hamilton was on hards. If Pirelli's pre-season estimate is anything to go by, the difference between the two compounds is worth about a second per lap - a margin that suggests the Mercedes might be a genuinely competitive proposition after all.

Then again, there are all the usual caveats applicable to testing: that teams work to their own programmes; the great unknown of relative fuel loads. The cool track temperatures, which are hardly ideal for tyre work, can also be added to the list.
And then some: tyre degradation provoked by the chilly weather has been a talking point over the past couple of days, so it came as little surprise when Hamilton preferred to discuss that rather than his eye-catching time.
"We had the hard tyre in the morning and it was pretty good. But all the tyres generally have degradation, and so looking after them is not that easy," said the 2008 World Champion, who set his time at the start of a ten-lap run just before lunch.
"We're not focusing on anyone else, we're just working on our programme, to try and make a step forward, with the degradation and car set-up,
"But it's going in the right direction. I'm happy with today's 121 laps, obviously."
Hamilton has certainly been putting in the mileage since the Silver Arrow's stuttering start in Jerez two weeks ago, having also racked up 145 laps on Friday there.
A source of inspiration seems to be the team themselves. "We've got a lot of work to do, but I've got a great group of guys behind me," Hamilton said. "I don't know, I'm sure they've been working hard over the years. I've only just arrived but already I see fantastic determination and I really hope all that hard work eventually pays off.
Hamilton added that more updates for the W04 would come in the final test in Barcelona. However, he was less specific when asked what a realistic target for his new team might be.
"I can't," he admitted. "The realistic target is to finish races and get into the points."

Hussey Registers
Double Century
Featured News | 4th August 2010
David Hussey will look to extend Nottinghamshire�s best ever individual score against Yorkshire when he resumes unbeaten on 222 on Thursday.
Hussey�s knock has already established a 319 run lead with Notts having reached 497-6 at the close.
Samit Patel (96) and Chris Read (42) ably assisted Hussey whose partnership with Paul Franks is already worth 97.
"...they�ve got good fast bowlers and that always makes me want to get stuck in."
With heavy rain forecast for Friday, Notts plan to bat aggressively at the start of the morning session before going in search of the ten wickets required to win the match.
�Samit and I were lucky to cash in and I saw the ball really early and found the middle of the bat,� said Hussey.
�It was pretty satisfying to get runs against Yorkshire on a good wicket because they�ve got good fast bowlers and that always makes me want to get stuck in.
�After the initial boundaries the field spread and I was able to find ones and twos.
�I�d like to get 300 but stats don�t bother me if we can put a gap on the chasers.
�Mick set a goal to score 500 first innings runs which we�re on course for but the true test of character will come tomorrow if we can win by an innings and go top of the table.�
Yorkshire�s first innings bowling analysis made grim reading for the home support aside from Patterson who returned 3-82 having accounted for openers Matt Wood and Alex Hales and number seven batsman Ali Brown.

Tim Pawlenty: Taking on public workers is good politics.
Republican presidential hopeful Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty—a long shot by any measure—revealed in a Wall Street Journal OpEd piece that he has decided to build his pre-candidacy on bashing public employees. As 2011 looks to be a horrendous year for state budgets, he probably figures that the timing is perfect for the next wave of anti-tax vigilantism—and he may well be right. As unfortunate as his attacks are, it is even more unfortunate that he has built his case on discredited lies—Big Lies—the kind that come from the engine room of the Rovian Republican machine.
When I read Pawlenty's WSJ piece, "Government Unions vs. Taxpayers," I immediately smelled a rat in the following statement:
"Since January 2008 the private sector has lost nearly 8 million jobs, while local, state and federal governments have added 590,000."
I contacted Nick Adair of PolitiFact, the fact-checking arm of the St. Petersburg Times to request a work-up on the piece. Adair informed me that I must be a mind reader, as they had a work in progress on the OpEd piece; their response was published online on December 16th.
The finding? Pants-on-Fire! Relying on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, PolitiFact concluded that local, state and federal jobs had decreased by 118,000. Here's PolitiFact:
"The comparison of job growth he made -- which showed the size of the federal workforce going in exactly the opposite direction as it did in reality -- is a key pillar supporting the premise of his column, that government work is "the only booming 'industry' left in our economy." Pawlenty's number is so compromised that we rate his statement Pants on Fire!"
PolitiFact covered the dubious history of the claim, showing that it indeed was a product of what I would consider the Republican disinformation daisy chain. It was first trial ballooned by Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Ohio, on August 10. 2010. LaTourette's source is unknown, since his staff declined to respond to PolitiFact's inquiry.
Unsatisfied with publishing one whopper in the Wall Street Journal, Pawlenty also offered the canard that:
"Federal employees receive an average of $123,049 annually in pay and benefits, twice the average of the private sector."
PolitiFact dispatches this little gem of disinformation as "False" in a post published on November 11th, "Rand Paul says federal workers paid $120,000, private-sector workers only $60,000." Given that, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts," it would have been nice if the Wall Street Journal would have checked Pawlenty's "facts."
Ah, the Good Old Days
Pawlenty buttresses the lies with some hefty spin, opening with a paean to the meatpacking unions of his youth—"strong back jobs"—men's jobs, authentic blue-collar jobs, precisely the kind he himself did not have as a unionized grocery clerk. He offers that once upon a time unions protected families from "economic exploitation." As if magically, the drivers of such exploitation are nowhere evident in our streamlined, ineffectually regulated, market economy.
In fact, according to Pawlenty, the tables have been turned, and now "pampered employees" exploit the taxpayer, bleeding the body politic dry with exorbitant wages, Cadillac benefits and undue political influence. Pawlenty calls it—ominously—a "silent coup" funded by what he characterizes as outrageously large political contributions in the 2010 midterms ("$91 million," which is actually fractions of pennies on the dollar to what big business spent).
Pawlenty goes on to state that in Minnesota he stood up to the bullies on the block, taking "decisive action" to stem the tide of exploitative, bullying, public clerical workers, many of whom happen to be women.
Never Mind the Facts…
Excuse me, Tim, but you bring to mind a long, long series of "never minds" that I cannot refrain from pointing out right about now…
Never mind that your case for an exploding public work force is simply not backed up by the facts.
Never mind that any actual comparison of public versus private wages needs to be done on a "comparable job" basis.
Never mind that you conveniently leave out CEO and Wall Street rainmaker wages from any consideration of what people earn.
Never mind that the concentration of national wealth has skewed hard in favor of top 1 percent over recent decades, to the detriment of the middle class, many of whom are public employees.
Never mind that the purpose of public sector unions is to prevent government from balancing the budget on the backs of low-level workers, as would be certain to occur in our era of bankrupt governments and 150 applicants for every public sector job.
Never mind that the pension crisis you cite was brought on by the "fiscal malpractice by state and local officials" (your words) who did not manage pension funds with due diligence—not the fault of public workers.
Never mind that the average salary of the public employee union AFSCME in Minnesota is $38,000, and the average pension is about $13,000 a year.
Never mind that your tough stand in Minnesota consisted of accounting tricks and kicking the can down the road to your successor (conveniently, a Democrat).
Never mind that your avowed strategy is to starve government—and thereby create a public union "crisis."
Never mind that there is no "pay premium" enjoyed by public sector workers, only a benefit premium.
Never mind that you advocate a race to the bottom to eliminate pensions altogether in the public sector.
Never mind that, unions or no, state and local employment is likely to plummet over the next two years.
Never mind how incongruous it is that you tell government to "get the numbers right" on public pensions when you didn't on your watch and the numbers you cite here are false.
Never mind that your central contention that there is no "moral case for unions" rings hollow when you would just as soon outsource all their jobs to exploitive private companies that would pay blue collar workers a pittance, bilk the taxpayer and pocket the difference.
So never mind all these factors and the whole thing adds up to you as a tough-guy exec who stands up to profligate legislators. And you did in Minnesota. You cut aid to cities, forcing library and fire department cuts—and city and county property taxes went through the roof. (And in Minnesota, businesses don't pay much in the way of property taxes.) Thanks for that. That certainly qualifies you to be president. I suppose those library workers and firefighters were union members, so we showed them, didn't we?
I understand that long shot presidential hopefuls need to stake out turf, but here's the thing: The position you take targeting public workers proves the point that they need unions to protect them from exploitive government. And never has this been as important as in the present moment, when middle class jobs are as scarce as TV airtime for long shot candidates.
I don't deny that public employee unions are ripe for reform. Many bylaws and contracts no longer correspond to real-world metrics about what constitutes acceptable ROI for the expenditure of public dollars. And overly generous pension benefits need to be scaled back (not eliminated) and augmented by progressive 401k plans. But disband the unions? Never. These unions protect many classes of workers who would otherwise be exploited by an electorate that wants all its government services for free.
As long as our determination of the value of the public sector is shaped by magical thinking, entitlement and the political football you make it, I think our public employees would do well hang on tight to their unions while reforming those practices that need reshaping in an era of diminished expectations.
Pawlenty is right that it is good politics to attack public unions. Most people are in favor of it. I predict that there will be major cuts in benefits and pay will be frozen.
(I found an article in our daily newspaper that published a complete list of salaries for public employees in 2008. Just out of curiosity, I looked at the salaries for employees in the Veterans Affairs department. The starting salary for a full-time Veterans' Benefits Rep was just over $16,000.)
Rated for the necessary inclusion of Daniel Patrick Moynihan :
"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."
Wouldn't it be nice if we had some kind of law that regulates lying and misleading the public?
Alfred E. Newman said it well in the 60's : "Many people are just like ink blotters. They can soak it up, but they get it all backwards."
Stella, you make a number of critical points, and thanks for the reference to the study. There are others, too, that tend to make this point, but the reference to education and training are unique.
And thanks, Duane, for your point that, "but practically everyone is paying attention to the sound byte mentality of bad information..."
Yeah, I know, I can policy wonk it all I want but the counter exposure never comes close to equalling the impact made by the original disinformation.
By the way, the WSJ article included a new term, seemingly straight from Rove Central that we will have to watch for in the future. It is the phrase "government unions." Thanks, again, Tim.
Seems a little drastic, in view of the impact it would have on the general economy. But there you are. The GOP has never let a thing like reality interfere with their harebrained notions of fiscal responsibility.
Good piece. You're spot on.
It's time to take on government unions with their impossible to fund pension plans and their tolerance of sloth.
I'm a Democrat and a strong union man with the exception of government unions. Look what they did to New York City in the late seventies and eighties and what they are doing to California now.
As for government employee salaries, why is it that everyone is supposed to agree that no government employee should ever make $100,000 or more? I would think that it would depend on the position, the responsibilities, and the amount of time the person has been doing the job.
A former co-worker of mine once worked for the state employees' union here in Tennessee. Many state workers had salaries so low they qualified for food stamps.
As to the overtime argument, I have HAD to work overtime whether I wanted to or not for years AND get up a ungodly hours to perform my tasks. As a result of my being at work so much and having to move to move up, my family disentegrated and I lost touch with many friends. Now I am looking at retirement and with 26 years of paying into the federal retirement system and 40 years of paying into Social Security, I am going to be penalized about 20% of my federal retirement for qualifying for Social Security whether I sign up for it or not and Social Security will penalize me 36% of my stipend from them because I have a government pension and was in such low paying jobs for the first 20 some odd years of working. I will be lucky to end up with $25,000 a year to retire on!
Tell me more about the bloated public employees sucking the life from this country! Perhaps we should look at the very wealthy and the coporations to see how they are doing?
You're not very good at this negotiating thing, are you . . .? ;)

My kind of woman!! [size=+3]Palin set to drop puck at Flyers game[/size] PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Sarah Palin's next faceoff will come at center ice at an NHL arena, not at a debate. The GOP vice presidential nominee will drop the ceremonial first puck when the Philadelphia Flyers open the regular season against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described "hockey mom," will join the winner of a team promotion for the "Ultimate Hockey Mom" to drop the puck. Last month, Palin visited a Philadelphia bar with Flyers owner Ed Snider, who has donated money to Republican presidential nominee John McCain's campaign. "Because of the tremendous amount of publicity she has brought to our sport, we invited the most popular hockey mom in North America to our home opener to help us get our season started," Snider said in a team statement Wednesday. "We are very excited she has accepted our offer and we are very proud of the publicity she is generating for hockey moms and the sport of hockey." Sarah Palin will drop ceremonial puck with Flyers host Rangers. - NHL - SI.com //
I'd like to see Palin and Michelle Obama play basket ball against each other. I'd like to see Palin play against BarackO!! //
another one-star turdfest... no one cares, no one listens to you, and no one adheres to your pablum... what's that like?
You guys carry on... I'll deal with him. I enjoy it. Dealing with Fog is sorta like this new "double or nothing" game on PokerStars... Too easy.
Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to war.. it is a worthy endeavour.. although a bit maddening.. reminds me of arguing with a full blown delusional psychotic, drunk mental patient..
I've been called worse in elementary school football games!!! :singing: ------ :singing: ------------ :singing: //
Interesting on a metaphorical level. Her boss drops the ball in his handling of the financial crisis and now she's dropping the puck. oh, btw the Ref doesn't drop the puck in a face off. He actually throws it down about as hard as he can. Don't ask me why I felt the need to include that bit of trivia.
Palin set to drop puck at Flyers game Are you sure? Isn't Palin to drop _uck at Plyers game? I know, that was bad
If I get one for putting you in your place, it will be a badge of honor, trust me. Name-calling is not only childish, it's a infractionable offense. Back to mom's basement, now. //
Well ... if Palin has another kid and it's a boy the next name is all set ... he shall be called "PUCK PALIN".

Sorry, no definitions found.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Sorry, no example sentences found.
Hmmmm. I'm thinking rugby.
Wow. Those props truly are mad.
Yeah, we really need a 'despised' button next to the 'favorite' button. The zeitgeist page could then proudly proclaim the most despised words of each day. That would be kewlness.
Oh, and mad props in advance to the webdev here who implements the feature. -
Ooh! Ooh! I want an "anti-favorite" button!!
I keep my "Dumbisms" list myself. What I need though is one-click access to put words there.
Haha! "Add to despised." Not to worry, thtownse. Many of us have "stuff I hate" lists. It's all part of the Master Plan of Wordnik.
*cue evil laugh* -
No offendment is intended. I have found however that it is perhaps more fun to hate words and phrases than it is to like them. It's that smug feeling you get, that lasts long after your shower.
I might add that Wordnik has the 'Add to favorites' feature but should also have 'Add to despised'. feature. -
The first time I heard it was when jennarenn said "I love Great Big Sea! Mad props!" on one of my lists. So now when I hear it, I always think of 1) jennarenn, and 2) Great Big Sea. Both of which make me very happy... so screw you people who don't like making me happy! *sticks out tongue*
Also, you can get to the blog through the link at the top of all the Wordnik pages. :-)
I get Errata (the Wordie blog) and the Wordnik blog, both by RSS. Lately they've been mirroring each other, so if you're just getting the Wordnik blog, dontcry, you probably haven't missed much.
I use this phrase a lot, and while I tell myself I'm using it ironically, I suspect I just genuinely like the sound of it.
Aye em spatial
Well, la-dee-dah.
I get it emailed to me.
There's a wordie blog....? Did I know this?
Just read this in the Wordie blog! I hate it! H. A. T. E. I. T.

Review: Tablacus Explorer brings much-needed tabs to your file menu
Explore your files quickly and easily with this tabbed file manager.
Tablacus Explorer offers a stylish, useful way to look at your files and doesn't have many drawbacks. It simply adds new features to the layout you're used to in order to make finding your files as easy and convenient as possible. You'll wish it was the default in Windows so you could use it all of the time.
This download borrows heavily from the default file explorer in Windows, but makes some much-needed changes. The most obvious of which are tabs, so you don't need to have a dozen explorer windows open at once. Thanks to softer, more modern lines, it sports a little more style, too. Opening files from Tablacus Explorer is just as fast as with any other file finder. The program occasionally crashes, but it's usually only when you have too many tabs open. Since it's an executable file, you can take it with you on a thumb drive, but be warned that your antivirus might flag it (unnecessarily). The program is customizable from downloadable layout extensions and other goodies.
Tablacus Explorer brings so much more style to your file explorer that it could become the only way you browse your files. It makes finding, organizing, and launching programs so much easier than anything Windows has to offer.

Classic review: The Beauty Myth
When society focuses too tightly on feminine beauty, it's not a pretty story for women.
[The Monitor occasionally reprints material from its archives. This book review originally ran on June 18, 1991.] The week before my wedding, I went for my first facial. My friends encouraged me; women's magazines have told me for years that deep cleaning unclogs pores and gives skin a "healthy glow."
Tears streamed down my face as the esthetician squeezed oil from my nose, chin, and cheeks. When she reached for a flickering machine that made zapping sounds, I said no thanks. Forty dollars later I was glowing, but throbbing.
Was it worth the pain to be a bright-skinned bride?
Author Naomi Wolf would say no. Her book, The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women, has ignited furious debate across Britain and North America. She contends that society's emphasis on a woman's appearance makes women weaker than men socially, politically, and economically.
Wolf looks at several areas of appearance: women at work; women on diets; and women having unsafe, unnecessary surgery. Meantime, the diet industry grows fat and powerful and the average cosmetic surgeon earns $1 million a year. Are so many women flirting with disaster - undergoing cosmetic surgery, smoking to keep thin - because a great body is worth any price?
As women grow old, they grow invisible in our culture, says Wolf. She points to TV news anchors, where men grow older and wiser, but women are replaced when they reach 40.
Wolf's book brings important issues to the surface, uncomfortably, as did my esthetician. She says the "beauty myth" has replaced Betty Friedan's "feminine mystique": mirrors and tummy tucks enslave women today as stoves and diapers did in the 50s.
This book is hard to read. If Wolf is right, the beauty backlash against feminism stings. It is often slow reading because it's packed with three years research: court cases, interviews, and readings from feminists - Friedan, Andrea Dworkin, and Susan Brownmiller.

Big K forgive the others but they get these vague questions about what is the best blue water boat all the time. Most who ask are dreamers with no chance of ever reaching their dream or at least a little naive about what they actually want to do. There is nothing wrong with the dream but there needs to be a lot of work to make it a reality. This is a great place to begin that research but read some of the past posts and you will surely find that there is no correct answer besides a good crew. Don't let our initial sarcasm of your question scare you away. This is a great resource and most folks are very generous with their time, humor and knowledge. Check out the Mahina Expdition it will give you a way to understand what you asked and begin answering the questions that need answering to find what you really need. Cheers. Rat

Central Hove private parking space, close to the County Cricket Grounds, All Saints Church and shops. The parking is 10 minutes walk from Hove train station and 7 minutes walk...

joshshuaGreat space, friendly and helpful owner.
Lynn22Perfectly easy to find and hassle-free. Felt as though car would be very safe during our stay. Dissapointed to find we could have parked a few roads away (outside the venue we were going to) for half the price for 11 hours so probably will do that in future, but you have to know these things & we didn't.

JessSandemanGreat idea - saved us a lot of faff trying to work out where to park. Alon was very helpful and friendly and the whole thing worked like clockwork!
barr1Alon was helpful and it felt a safe place to leave the car.
edhuwjimEasily sorted and exactly as expected. About 27 minute walk down to the sea and along to the Thistle Hotel. Thanks.
JOHNBRYERall was perfect - thanks!
FleuriGreat location, easy to find
user524ecd1aab2e1We were very pleased with our booking. It was reasonably close to where we were staying and close to the town (20-30 minutes walk considering how long your legs are). We parked on the wrong side of the drive (against his instructions I may add!), but the owner was very polite when informing us considering we could not move it when he called for at least 7 hours. Top bloke and Thanks
kathycoolGreat location. Very convenient for sea front and railway station. Easy to find. Great off road space. Thank you
loulongEasy to find, right in the heart of where we wanted to be! We shall be using this parking space again!
welsmoreHelpful owner, nice large space (fits a LWB sprinter if you get it right into the space)
ceri2644nice owner
mrscwalksEasy to find, plenty of space, and my car was found as I had left it after 2 nights. Less than 10 minutes walk to the beach at Hove and about 1.5 miles along the prom to the pier. Would definitely use again. Thank you for the use of your drive! Main drawback for me was no way of getting in touch...we would have liked a mobile number so could have asked if ok to extend stay by an hour or to bring up any other problems that could have arisen.Hello and thanks for the review. My mobile number is available on the website as soon as you make a booking. All the people who have used my space had my number to contact me and I respond asap to all queries. Perhaps you missed seeing my number on my parkatmyhouse parking page after you completed the booking? Anyway, thanks again for your custom, I hope my space could be of help to you again in the future. All the best, Alon
IanjfhAs described - close to beach easy to find.
