Rola Nashef's short drama is unique by its presentation of an Arab-American community without any mention of politics and religion. In fact, one could easily switch the ethnicity of the characters to another hyphenated-American demographic and you'd pretty much have the same story.
"Detroit Unleaded" is a wispy slice of life in which the young Sami agrees to take the midnight shift at his cousin's gas station in order to hook up with his girlfriend Naj away from the prying eyes of their respective families. As the gas station is located within Detroit, the film provides an opportunity for comic ghetto stereotypes to parade in for mirthful appearances. In fairness, some white freaks also stop by (including a group of Arabs trying, and failing, to look gangsta).
To its credit, the film avoids the obvious relating to crime: talk of the number of shots required to shatter bullet-proof glass and the repeated reference to a gun under the counter never adds up to a barrage of fusillade. However, the film's core (the appearance of Naj in the middle of the night) reveals surprisingly sloppy scripting (allegedly, Sami forgets to tell her which gas station he's at). Also, the film goes overboard in close-ups of Sami looking pensive and confused (actor Lamar Babi, a John Kennedy Jr. lookalike, is photogenic – but, really, the attention is excessive).
Nonethless, "Detroit Unleaded" is a handsomely produced and beautifully photographed effort (kudos to cinematographer Dan S. Noga). And it deserves praise for showing Arab-Americans behaving like…well, behaving like Americans. Now maybe Hollywood can pay attention to that challenge and do the same?

Sunderland swoop for Cattermole
Sunderland have signed combative midfielder Lee Cattermole from Wigan for £6m, on a four-year contract.

Islands lack competition - Pitman
Bournemouth striker Brett Pitman believes a lack of competitiveness is stopping more Channel Islanders playing professional football in England.Pitman signed to Bournemouth from St Paul's in Jersey and told BBC Channel Islands that it is hard to get a break.

Grant: No crisis at Chelsea
11 Mar 2008 - 15:58:20
Chelsea first-team coach Avram Grant has rejected talk of a crisis at Stamford Bridge following their FA Cup exit at the hands of Barnsley.
Grant, who was talking ahead of Wednesday's Premier League visit of bottom club Derby County, insists rumours of a crisis are wide of the mark.
Reports had suggested unhappy owner Roman Abramovich would sack the Israeli coach should he fail to win either the Premier League or Champions League this season.
The Russian billionaire was said to be deeply disappointed by their defeat to Spurs in last month's Carling Cup Final and the FA Cup humbling by the Championships side.
"I know that at Chelsea, like a lot of big clubs, every loss is a crisis but it's not like that," claimed Grant.
"We're a big club. We know how to behave inside after winning and after losing games.
"We are very disappointed to have lost on Saturday, even if we're in good company with the other clubs in the Premier League who have gone out.
"I'm not under any more pressure than I was before and I'm not under any less."
Meanwhile, Grant has played down concerns that a restless Abramovich could end his brief tenure at the end of the season.
"Roman is a very strong guy. He does not change his mind if he loses a game or if we win a game. He thinks about the vision of the club and how we handle this," he continued.
"We are a big club and we don't change our way because we have one bad week or two bad weeks.
"I came for this job to take the team forward. The minute I believe I can't take the team forward, or someone else tells me that, I'll accept it."

Just when I thought I knew you
I found I never had.
The love you gave was insecure
Not quite so golden-clad.
What drew me in was kindness;
A friend above the rest.
Until you found out my secret
Our friendship was a test.
How can one bind by such a thought
And lie to break a day?
I've heard the way you speak of me
Once I turn away.
All I ever saw in us was friendship,
My book of poetry has officially been published!
If you buy a copy, you're bound to find some of the poetry I've posted here within its pages.
[ Note --- This is my unfinished "coming out" story. I am still working on it, but I need some suggestions and critiques. Tell me what you think of it so far ]
Working Title
Names are changed for privacy of those mentioned.
[Comments are nice. I like comments. Comment!]
Here, I'm open to paraphrasing
As we open our eyes, minds and hearts
To the falling stars we wish upon.
Watch the blinding lights as they plunge,
Reducing us to ashes on high.
To a time without an end,
To wounded rags and damaged homes,
To forgotten children, lost and cold –
This one is for you.
So here we are, after all we told
Distance, childish and elderly
[I REALLY appreciate comments and criticism. I also like hearing the interpretation others have on my writing. Commenting is nice :D )
To the call of a night bird –
she awakes at the sound
and ponders the nature of
the bird of night, the dusk.
The ground wears thin where she paces
and begs a question unanswered –
for what the world explains
is in hate of the person
and love of the word.
Would you be what you are today
If you weren't dead?
Binding, bleeding, falling down,
Oh, falling down, can you see, can you see?
Maybe happy on the outside,
Still smiling, laughing, add a sappy line.
Hell is only so far away, so I'm told,
This hell is but one door over, I'm told,
I christen "hallelujah!"
A morbid tale told by a silver pendulum.
Where the devil was an angel?
A book of my poetry is being published soon. Once it's all printed I'll give you guys the link on Amazon. 10% of the proceeds go to help the people in Sudan!
On the down low, the book is called, "A Policy of Divinity"
My high school internet child block blocks anything pertaining to homosexuality in any way, shape, or form. I tried to get onto this site and was blocked... Wtf is so bad about Oasis on a school computer?
I want to be accepted as a human being... just for who I am.
Is that a Special right?
I want to be able to hold the hand of the one I love and not feel disgust from those around me.
Is that a Special right?
I want to live a life doing all the little daily things you do and not be shunned or hated.
Is that a Special right?
I want to be around children and not be mistrusted
Is that a Special right?
This is the drunken cry of a solo teen,
lost and fallen, stuck in this dream.
To all I fear and all I hate,
I raise my glass and drink till late.
It's love at best and love at worst.
What we thought was new was last, not first.
Take it as is and we're gone forever.
Live or die, no matter, scream, "never!
[ > A bit about this one. It's a selection from a poetry book I wrote that will be publishing at the end of the summer, in August. In this one I edited the meaning to be how I originally intended it to be, for my publisher had me take change things like "he's seen love" to "SHE'S seen love" so that it wouldn't have a straightforward gay theme. You guys are the only people to see the original versions of my work... Enjoy. < ]

Publisher: Total-e-bound | Date published: 05/02/2011 DescriptionBook two in the Blackstone Haven Series A familiar man of two souls will walk beside you. He will protect you with his animal soul. His human spirit will shelter you when you most need. Before the final step to merge your body and soul is taken, a choice must be made. Sinai Blackstone never expected the prophecy she had to fulfill would create such complications. Her reasons for going against the prophecy are sound. But when Ian finds out, it isn't just the prophecy that is affected. Sinai isn't prepared to deal with all that being with Ian entails. There is so much more than fulfilling some family legend at stake. Her heart, soul, and very life are on the line. Ian McIntyre knows that Sinai believes she did what's for the best. Yet, she has no clue their joining is beyond even what she could know. It isn't about choice. It's just meant to be. He would face legends for her. Give his life if needed. There was no choice for him. He would be with Sinai no matter the cost. Nothing will stand in his way--not Sinai and her stubborn pride, not death that is stalking her, nor anything on this earth or any plane. Sinai is his other half, the match for his soul, blood, and body. When it becomes primal, there is no other way to handle legacies, destiny, and prophecy except? to go with your Power of Instinct.

Encouraging stuff of Bell and Heyward:
Encouraging stuff of Bell and Heyward:
Cleveland spelled backwards is DNA Level C
another AA/AS original.
Some more notes:
Lets hope that Cortez Allen comes back soon. The toughest part of Lewis leaving was not replacing him - I think Allen will do that just fine. It's replacing Allen and the depth behind the 2 starters.
Some observations from camp yesterday.
Worilds and JJ can get to the qb. As far as JJ he's is not fast but he plays quick. Very quick. He uses his hands well and has a burst.
E Sanders impressive catching punts. He did a drill where he made a catch while holding 4 other footballs. A bit of a show but impressive just the same. Sanders is quick and got deep a few times. He did drop one pass on a slant where he broke wide open.
Wheaton showed good hands and caught a few balls thrown poorly. One high catch was very impressive. He is a hands catcher. He is also quick into and out of cuts.
Paulson can pick it. Hands are super but blocking not so much. He was working on blocking and Tomlin noticed his work there.
Bell yesterday broke a 45 yd run on a cut back. He looked like our best back. Bell has good hands but his blocking could be better.
Foote plays a little slow and Gay was burned more then once.
Gradkowski looked solid all day.

You know, as digital artists we have some amazing tools available to us to help bring our imaginations to life.
The latest graphic tablets (now affordable for most anyone,) matched with the latest high-definition screens (displaying billions of colors,) connected to the latest computers (whose size are measured in inches and not feet,) all to render work near instantaneously. It's hard to imagine that with what we have today, publishers and artists were using these same types of devices as much as 40 years ago to set type, scan images, or even draw pictures.
So if you were an artist in the late 1970's, what would it have been like?
Well, click here (or above) to watch a video to get a bit of an idea.
If that's anything to go by, straight-up drawing was still a little out of reach. But you could scan drawings, save them, view them on a screen, scale them, and print them. Since everything you were saving was on a tape, loading times were slower than the page being printed from dot-matrix printer. You'd only have 8 to 16 colors max to work with. Also you'd get a severe neck cramp because you'd be looking at a monitor about 4 to 5 feet above you to do your work, apparently.
In the late 1980's to early 1990's, things improved a lot. How improved?
Watch this other video to see a Quantel promotional video about their new tablet series.
(By the way, you're allowed to laugh at the hilarious editing in that video -- it's pure gold.)
Monitors were still really small, (while the tablets were huge,) but they could render 256 to thousands of colors. The move to hard drives instead of tape media meant you could store and load your work faster. (But as these hard drives were measured by the megabytes, you could store a whole 100+ full size(?!) images!!!)
You also would have had an undying fondness for the Airbrush tool. (If it wasn't airbrushed, it wasn't art.)
Things had improved enough to the point where tablets were losing their wires, and software was getting more complicated to support things like copy/paste, and pressure sensitivity. Photoshop was brand-new to the market, but wouldn't receive layer support (and therefore become relevant) until 1994. Therefore, companies like Quantel had their own hardware and software bundles that were specific for making images and layouts. Our modern-day tablet+computer setup is derived from Quantel's design.
At one point or another, this stuff was all mind-blowingly state-of-the-art. I bet it would have been hard for artists during that time to imagine what we have now as a reality. Much in the same way how I have ideas on where we'll be in another 30 years with this stuff, but I'll probably be amazed at the progression still, anyway.
"Guys, remember when we used to draw on/with LCD screens?"

CAIRO — The yellow horse-drawn gasoline tank is out in the open, on a busy highway that snakes along a poor slum in eastern Cairo. Trucks and cars stop to fill up. Pedestrians come by, too, with plastic containers to fill.
The yellow tank isn't alone. Mini-tankers and canisters of illegal diesel fuel have become ubiquitous in Egypt. Vendors hawk the fuel in crowded neighborhoods, next to shops and idle police officers who do little to stop the sales.

Bayern target Bosingwa deal
12 Jun 2009 - 07:45:37
Bayern Munich have confirmed their interest in signing Chelsea full-back Jose Bosingwa.
The Portugal right-back has only been at Stamford Bridge for one season following a £16million move from FC Porto last summer.
Bosingwa made 48 appearances in all competitions and was a key member of the squad under both Luiz Felipe Scolari and Guus Hiddink.
But Bayern believe they can persuade Chelsea to part company with their first-choice right-back.
"Our transfer activities are basically closed," said general manager Uli Hoeness.
"We are only looking at whether there are possibilities for the right-back position.
"We are interested in Bosingwa. That's correct."

BUT she raised her kids as Redskins fans and apparently, they hate the Steelers and want to wear their Skins stuff to school.
i laughed at the thought and then i read this post about schools banning kids from wearing opposing teams to school. i think this lady is justified and those kids are justified in wearing ANYTHING they want to school. well, anything that fits the dress code, you know? but even children have free will and they should not be chastized for it. if those lil tikes in Arizona want to wear their Steelers stuff...God willing. and if kids in PA want to wear Skins stuff...so what? what's the point of taking a childs right to do what they want away?
Why on EARTH would she wear the Steelers shirt if she hated them... I would have just wore my usual outfit I needed to wear for work, ya know? NOW... if it was Skins vs. Steelers in the super bowl she should have been able to wear her shirt. :)
I definitely would NOT wear a Cardinals shirt/jersey or even PURCHASE that stuff to wear if I didn't like the team. Every year I've watch the bowl games, I wear whatever.. if my team isn't playing I might still wear Steelers stuff to a friends house... actually now that I think of it... all my friends wore their favorite team jersey regardless who was in the super bowl.. and we all chose sides and cheered... but never once did we buy a shirt to pick a side pre-game... that's a waste of money!
EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEAR THE TEAM THEY LIKE REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY LIVE OR WHO'S IN THE BOWL GAME! ... just my 2 cents.. (or 20 cents since this is so long - ending now).

When I was installing the driver's side cover, the 2 plastic handles that are used to pull the seat cover back to make it tight and stay in place broke off. So it doesn't stay tight with those missing.

I think unlimited morphine no medicine is what addicts want.
Looks like the German voters are stuck with expensive and bad tasting medicine, no morphine.
We'll see how they react at the next election.
AS EUROPEAN leaders gather in Brussels to settle on a new plan to address Greece's debts and—they hope—the broader issue of market confidence in the euro zone, details of a potential deal are emerging. It appears that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy met last night with European Central Bank head Jean-Claude Trichet in an attempt to iron out their differences. A framework for an agreement was reportedly reached and will be presented at today's summit. No specifics are available, but a few key issues appear to have been settled.
First, it looks as though a haircut for Greek creditors is now likely. Ms Merkel has repeatedly asked that bondholders share the costs of the Greek bail-out, insisting that this was a necessary precondition for German citizens to accept an increased fiscal commitment to the periphery. The ECB had, until now, been adamently opposed to anything smacking of default, but Mr Trichet is seemingly now on board. The ratings agencies would likely place Greece in "selective default" in that event. It isn't clear whether the ECB would continue to make good on its threat not to accept defaulted debt as loan collateral. European leaders may find themselves needing to guarantee defaulted Greek bonds and/or find alternative quality collateral.
Next, it looks like the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the €440 billion bail-out fund, will be given greater flexibility to operate. It may have the authority to lend to countries that have not yet received official bail-outs and to recapitalise banks. The EFSF might also be used to fund a large-scale buy back of Greek debt. It does not appear, however, that an increase in the EFSF's size is on the table. The idea of a bank tax, which had previously been suggested as a means to help finance a Greek rescue, now seems dead.
European markets have continued the rally that began on Tuesday. Yields on peripheral debt continue to tumble, and the euro rose sharply. So, is all well?
It's too early to say, but for the moment the bigger picture remains bleak. The rumoured policy changes still need to be agreed at today's summit. The European public will ultimately weigh in on whatever decision is reached, and it seems like German voters, at least, continue to grow more sceptical of the currency union. And then there is the broader question: will the plan actually help? Even if Greece's obligations are meaningfully reduced, it faces a wrenching period of fiscal adjustment and a shrinking economy. The more ambitious the plan, the greater the need for a bigger fiscal commitment, which will test national governments.
Euro-zone leaders will hope that their agreement moves Spain and Italy back outside of the crisis perimeter. But an auction of long-term Spanish debt today doesn't bode well; Spain sold €1.8 billion in 10-year debt at an average yield of nearly 6%. If yields creep much higher than that, Spain's debts will become unmanageable without euro-zone assistance. Meanwhile, evidence of a euro-zone economic slowdown grows. Given the austerity environment within the euro zone, foreign demand will be crucial in supporting its economy. But as we've seen today, good news on the debt crisis leads to a sharply rising euro (thanks in no small part to the ECB's rush to increase interest rates). A dearer euro will hurt euro-zone exports at just the moment export growth is most needed.
The euro zone appears to have achieved a welcome calming of distressed markets. But there will be more trouble ahead.

I take this all as goodish news. Once the Eurozone stops trying to pretend that Greece is not in default the healing can start.
To date, the western economies are like patients getting unlimited morphine and no medicine.
Why would Germany want Greek islands? Germans can rent a spot on the beach without having to run the place. How would owning islands improve on today's situation?
If the uninhabited islands had any value, they wouldn't be uninhabited.
Last I checked, Crete is full of a bunch of Cretans. Why would anyone want to own Crete, when you can just visit instead?
Agricultural subsidies have made owning agricultural land a net loss. Cities are full of people who want handouts. The last 2000 years of wars may have been about acquiring territory, but that applied when kings and lords collected rents from the peasants. I don't see anyone expressing a strong desire to possess anyone else's territory these days. Now it's too expensive. The EU has solved the European problem, i.e. European wars, by making European territory rather undesirable, even to Europeans.
"Peace in our time"
Well, Dick Nixon was true, after all: once you have'em by the b...s, their hearts and minds DO follow!
Having banks to take their responsibilities could not be such an impossible thing after all. Why would they kill the cash cow ?
It is indeed too early to say.
All European wars of the past 2000 years have been waged over land and territory.
Land is limited. And therefore has value.
Greece has 1400 islands, many of which are uninhabited.
Northern Europe is gloomy and cold for a good part of the year.
Northern Europeans all head south to sunny Mediterranean beaches for several holidays each year. Greece resents the overbearing tourists.
I propose that Greece pay its debt in land and real estate. Hand over whole islands for sovereign transfer to richer debt holding nations. A 10 square mile island can be had a for a Billion Euros.
Transfer Crete to Germany, and call off the entire 200 Billion Euro Debt. Let Germany, Austria, England, Swiss and the Scandinavians all bid on an open auction. This is how the two World Wars SHOULD have been settled.
Allow a peaceful tourist based sunny patch of Germany in the Mediterranean Sea.
Promote tourism. Settle Debts. Allow Greece to leave bankruptcy. Strengthen the EU and international relations. Help the maintain the integrity of the Euro. Allow nominal transfer of land sovereignty but a net stable EU.
The only down side is the sunburns on too pale skin.
I feel you should take more water with it
The ECB debacle and Greek (closet deafult) prove the cock up theory surpasses the lizard conspiracy theorists
Amor vincit omnia and god hlp the poor as Europe wallows in unproductivity
Yes they do get it! This is why Spain and other PIIGS are trying to reform themselves, lower the wages and bring competitiveness back!
It will happen! if CEE can become more and more competitive day by day so can PIIGS...
It won't be long until Greek debt reaches 1 trillion euros! It's better to stop bailouts.
The Next Debt Crisis Could Come from Paris. Not from Italy or Spain. Read;
this was in the end the best solution for Greece and everybody knows that.
The rest is mere rhetorics and sour grapes because some had been predicting the end of the euro . Problem is at every challenge, even if sluggishly, europe's been up to the challenge.
"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger"
F. Nietzsche
Besides, neither the US, nor China, nor Britain (read Bagehot's last post), nor Japan, nor Latin America, nor anyone in their righteous minds really, would want a eurozone break up. They let the hedge funds play with fire and they got burnt.
The right people from the right institutions have spoken, from those following the right news.
The grand plan for europe is here, and is here to stay.
Progress but still dealing with the symptoms rather then addressing the causes. Last year European leaders thought they were dealing with a liquidity problem (hence the idea of euro-bonds). This year they think they are dealing with solvency problems (to which default and debt write-off would be the solution indeed). Alas, they still don't get it.
The real cause and underlying problem is a masive competitiveness divergence. This leads to trade imbalances whereby strong countries (Germany) run an eternal surplus and weak ones (Spain) an eternal external deficit. This leads to debt build-up in the weak member states and eventually to the spectre of default and associated liquidity problems. Our leaders are now working that conundrum backwards at a pace so slow it's agonizing.
To follow: Spain goes bust due to huge external deficits - momentarily still mainly concentrated in private sector (households and banks) but being transfered at rapid rate to the public sector which will lead to default. Then France goes bust. Momentarily still a housing bubble in France and no better thing then a housing mania to allow the private sector to absorb the external deficits through debt expansion. But when the party ends French public debt will quickly balloon out of control.
In the long run it's up to the FANGs to bail out everyone or better put: to subsidize their own savings.
Can someone help me understand who are the private lenders that are being referred to in the article ( those getting a haircut).
It is not completely true that nobody wants the failure of the Euro. Most of the British press, including the Economist, have been hoping for it the last decade, at least as much as others are hoping for the return of the Messiah.

Hamilton's trip to Livingston on Wednesday has been postponed because of snow.
The Almondvale Stadium clash was due to be the managerial debut for new Livingston managers Richie Burke and Mark Burchill, who were appointed on Monday.
But the continuing poor weather in Scotland left the pitch in an unplayable condition and means the clubs will need to find a new date for the First Division match.
Referee Calum Murray took a brief look at conditions but needed little time to make his decision with the pitch rock hard under three inches of snow.

So i live in the UK and just discovered there was a anime site that i could sub to to watch a bunch of anime shows on at a decent quality and so on called crunchyroll.
I've seen at least a few notable anime shows such as
Death note,
100 episodes of bleach,
Soul Eater,
Bamboo Blade
and maybe a few more i don;t remember, right now im watching Sword Art Online which seems pretty fun.
The site has allot of new and older stuff and 90% of the stuff is mostly all subbed which is fine, but other than the ones ive mentioned since that's most of the no brainier anime stuff most people know about i don;t know what else to check out once im done with SAO so id love to get any good suggestions so i can get right to the good stuff instead of just guessing my way around. Thanks for anyone helping me out.

I am studying Chronic Illness this semester as part of my nursing course requirements, and
I have to develop a project that can be implemented while I am on clinical placement which is focused on a chronic illness that will improve patient education and better involve them in their care.
As I have just been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes myself, I have decided to do a fact sheet that can be given to newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetics.
During the stage of being diagnosed with diabetes it can be very overwhelming with a HUGE amount of information to be absorbed. I am hoping to include all the important stuff that they will need to know, that is often either not discussed or is lost during information overload!
Being a nursing student when diagnosed, I aready understood some of the information that others may not have, so I am hoping to get some advice on what to include in case I leave out some important info.
If you guys could tell me some of the things you either were not told, or on the other hand things you were told that were very valuable when first diagnosed I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Leah :)

I don't think I'll ever be over this city. I know it's pretty early in the game to be saying that, but there's just something so inspiring about a place where everyone is at least semi-consiouly dreaming. That whole City of Angels/Tinseltown hype probably sounds incredible cheesy but it's true in all the right ways. Shot these just off Sunset Junction, which is kind of becoming one of my favorite places right now, to the piqued curiosity of espresso-sipping onlookers. There's something so awkwardly attention grabbing about pulling out a tripod near an ostentatious mosaic wall and posing in an excessively flowy shirt that contains just about every trend from the past year wrapped up in one and signifies my submission to sheerness, which recently dropped to the level where I no longer care if people can easily tell whether I'm wearing high or low-waisted shorts even when my shirt is untucked. I think I used to care about things like that.

More taxpayers filing earlier this year, with three-quarters doing so by April 1
Published on Apr 23, 2014 11:22 AM
By April 1, 75 per cent of taxpayers had filed their tax returns for the year - 4 percentage points higher than at the same time last year, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore said on Wednesday.
By the due-date of April 18, 95 per cent of taxpayers had filed.
This includes 820,000 who did so online, and over a million others on the No-Filing Service, which means that they will get their tax bill without having to submit an Income Tax Return.
More taxpayers were also using Iras's SMS Return My Call service, which sends a text message to Iras to request a call back - saving time compared to calling Iras and waiting for a call to be connected. Almost 23,000 taxpayers used this service, 77 per cent more than over the same period last year.

I think it's safe to say I'd be interested in this flick. Nailin Palin was a title I heard on WTkk today. I can't believe $3k is all someone would get to play that part. I'd imagine that the flick would reign in a ton of coin. Sarah Palin porn film made by Larry Flynt Pornography baron Larry Flynt has filmed an adult movie about Sarah Palin, with a look-alike standing in for the Republican vice-presidential nominee. By Chris Irvine Last Updated: 10:03AM BST 03 Oct 2008 Larry Flynt's spokesman confirmed to the New York Daily News that the film had been shot, but he would not yet reveal the title Photo: EPA The Hustler founder has made an X-rated movie using an adult-film actress who resembles the governor of Alaska. Flynt's team had posted an anonymous advert on the website Craigslist just days after Mrs Palin took the Republican convention by storm last month. The ad read: "Looking for a Sarah Palin look-alike for an adult film to be shot in the next 10 days." The actress would be paid $3,000 (ÂŁ1,700) for the part.
:singing: Sarah hit the Lefty Loony nerve, they're all out to try and ruin her, the Dingobats are scared sh!tless of her, she just might be the one to send The Holy Messiah Barack Hussein Obooma scurrying back to his Uncle Jeremiah and all his Anti American Racist Friends. The publicity the Democrat Haters give her is priceless, the Lefty Loons talk more about Sarah than they do Their Messiah.
Yikes what a picture! I was confused a bit reading all the healines that said McCain taps Palin, but this movie clears things up for me now
Naybe Flynt can just buy the video of her screwing her husbands former partner... would save some time and add cred..
Before I even clicked on the link I knew that's what you where going to say. And I knew all our resident socialists were going to say they disagree or she does nothing for them. Glad no one disappointed .
I think I'm too turned off by her annoying personality to find her physically attractive (she does nothing for me), but I really don't think she's very good looking, just a bunch of makeup. Don't get me wrong though, as far as her age and profession goes, she's ahead of the curve. "Hot" is an overstatement.
The old democrat kunts on the View were wetting their pants and having live Hysterectomies today Palin has them so worked up they are all on the verge of a stroke. Nobody has got under the skin of the Liberal Democrats like Sarah in this lifetime not even Ronald Reagan (he was only a governor too) Sarah is scaring the sh!t out of the "Messiah Groupies" Sarah could be big trouble for their little "Tin God" Prince Obama over there----------------------------------->:bricks:
All I can say is holy crap on this one.. see how this flies with the moderators..this will be a very interesting test of the call for civility as outlined our moderator, also to see what standards actually are accepted on this board.. Gee Harry life must be pretty boring to watch the "View"...

Gary Neville admits Manchester United suffer bad European hangovers
Gary Neville was left counting the cost of Manchester United's European exit as they handed the advantage to Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title. United crashed out of the Champions League to Bayern Munich last week before being held to a goalless draw at Blackburn on Sunday. The result leaves Chelsea in pole position, a point clear of United with a game in hand, and the Red Devils have now dropped 17 points in games following a Europeran fixture. Up against it: Neville and United couldn't find a way past Blackburn Sir Alex Ferguson's side lost to Chelsea just days after going down in the first leg of their tie against the Bundesliga giants in Munich two weeks ago. Neville said: 'Losing 2-1 at home to Chelsea in the league was a big disappointment for us. We had lost in Munich earlier in the week and playing after European games has been a problem. 'To lose to Chelsea and lose our position at the top of the league, and then be knocked out of the Champions League, is the worst thing that could have happened. 'At a club like Manchester United we do have great highs but because we compete in the biggest competitions we do suffer sometimes as well.'

A lawsuit was filed against Nicollet County this week. The Taylor Corporation is suing the county over claims that the company's property taxes for a facility in North Mankato are greater than the actual value of the property. The company is owned by Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor. According to the 2013 Nicollet County property tax statement, the estimated market value for the Taylor Corporation's Label Works property on Lookout Drive was nearly $3-million this year. The tax assessments for the property come in at over $110,000, an amount which the company says is unfair compared with other property. The company also claims that the property is incorrectly classified, and that the value and assessment determined by the county assessor is in violation of state law. Nicollet County and the Taylor Corporation are not commenting on the lawsuit at this time, and the case has been referred to tax court. A court date has not yet been set.

More Congo Propaganda: M23 and the High-Tech Genocide Unseen
by keith harmon snow
For 17 years, the U.S. armed and financed a genocidal occupation of eastern Congo by neighboring Rwanda and Uganda and their "rebel" surrogates. "The varying incarnations of 'rebels' in eastern Congo have all and always been backed by Museveni (Uganda) and Kagame (Rwanda), in turn backed by the USA, UK and Israel."
Dr. Gerald Caplan and the Rwanda Genocide Cranks
by keith harmon snow
Behind the genocide in Congo and elsewhere stand a host of well-paid academics, entertainers, politicians and professional propagandists for U.S. imperial policy. One of them, "Dr. Gerald Caplan, ignores the pain, mutilations, rapes and deaths caused by the western power brokers Paul Kagame and Yoweri Museveni to millions upon millions of Burundian, Congolese, Sudanese and Ugandan people."
Low-Intensity Warfare In Africa: The US "Policy Wonks" Behind Covert Warfare & Humanitarian Fascism, Part 1 of 2
by Keith Harmon Snow
From the 1980s to today, an elite group of Western intelligence operatives have backed low-intensity guerrilla warfare in certain African 'hotspots'. Mass atrocities in the Great Lakes and Sudan can be linked to Roger Winter, a pivotal U.S. operative whose 'team' was recently applauded for birthing the world's newest nation, South Sudan. Behind the fairytale we find a long trail of blood and skeletons from Uganda to Sudan, Rwanda and Congo.
April 1994 to April 2012: Commemorating More Than 18 years of US Sponsored Terrorism in Central Africa, Part 2 of 2
by Keith Harmon Snow
After US-backed forces shot their way to power in Rwanda and Uganda with armies of child soldiers and exemplary atrocities, Western propaganda blamed the horrific death toll on the losers. To legitimize its African pit bull regimes the US now hounds and deports Rwandan dissidents, concealing or concocting evidence at will.
April 1994 to April 2012: Commemorating More Than 18 years of US Sponsored Terrorism in Central Africa, Part 1 of 2
by Keith Harmon Snow
In the 80s and early 90s murderous US-sponsored guerrilla armies in Uganda and Rwanda used child soldiers, American training, and atrocities to butcher their way to power. The US State Department, intelligence, military & corporate media afterward portrayed the monstrous death tolls as genocide committed by their opponents. This is the genesis of the Rwandan genocide fable that now bolsters US sponsored police states in Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, and US intervention throughout the region.
U.S. Citizen Falsely Accused of Rwanda Genocide Rape Crimes
by keith harmon snow
On June 24, 2010, U.S. agents in Manchester, New Hampshire arrested Rwandan genocide survivor Beatrice Munyenyezi, a Hutu and a U.S. citizen since 2004. Charged with lying on her immigration documents to conceal her alleged major role in genocide in Rwanda, Ms. Munyenyezi is also charged with rape as a war and genocide crime. Meanwhile, a federal prosecutor for the case is known for misconduct, falsification of evidence and perjury. Is it a crime to have a FACEBOOK profile? Is it a crime to use a computer?

The US's War In Darfur
by Keith Harmon Snow
The Darfur region of Sudan possesses the third largest copper and the fourth largest uranium deposits on the planet, in addition to strategic location and significant oil resources of its own. Is the US-based "Save Darfur" movement snowing the US public on the fundamental nature of the conflict in Sudan? Are "Save Darfur" and the prevention of genocide the covers of convenience for the next round of US oil and resource wars on the African continent?

(Belleville News-Democrat/Getty Images)An MRI performed on Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright's right elbow on Wednesday confirmed soreness he had previously been experiencing but it showed no structural damage, according to a report from Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com. The 32-year-old, an All-Star in 2010 and '13, had his ligament replaced via Tommy John surgery in 2011. On Wednesday, doctors confirmed his recent elbow soreness is not from that surgery or the damage that preceded it. Rather, the Cardinals said the issue is more akin to the chronic pain and inflammation typically associated with tennis elbow, which results from overuse and overextension of the elbow.SI WIRE: Dodgers shut down Chad Billingsley's rehab after rough bullpen sessionManager Mike Matheny breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday, saying after the MRI results came back that the team is not as concerned about his elbow anymore since it's been determined that it's simply sore and not structurally damaged, according to the report.It's possible he could miss his scheduled start for Monday's series opener at home vs. the New York Mets. Wainwright received a cortisone shot in his elbow this week, but the decision about Monday will be made on Friday or Saturday, according to a tweet from Ryan Boyer of NBC Sports.Matheny admitted in the report that it's still too early to say definitively whether he play vs. the Mets, despite the MRI results:"We're going to wait and see how everything goes. We're going to take some more notes and listen to the doctors. I think it was the right medical move to get him home as quick as we could to make sure there wasn't anything more going on than what we thought."Wainwright, who won the 2006 World Series with St. Louis in his second year in the league, said he was pitching "subpar-to-average stuff" over seven scoreless innings in Tuesday's 1-0 win in Tampa Bay over the Rays.He currently has a 2.15 ERA, fourth-best in the NL, and has not allowed a run in seven of his 14 starts. The Cardinals were 34-31, second behind only the Brewers in the NL Central, heading into Wednesday night's game in Tampa Bay..@TheCatOnFox says Wainwright was given a cortisone shot and a decision will be made on Friday or Saturday whether he makes Monday start.— Ryan Boyer (@RyanPBoyer) June 11, 2014SPAN: The strange situation of Mets manager Terry Collins Promoted Stories Comments

World's First Three-Row Plug-In Hybrid Has The Makings Of A Sleeper Hit
Volvo's new XC90 is an impressive luxury utility vehicle in any trim, but with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain it has the potential to shake up the segment. We drive the thing in Spain and report in.
Drop The Top And Raise The Bar
The 2015 BMW 228i Convertible is a more grown-up take on the small premium convertible than was the outgoing 128i... though it may be a bit less special, too.
What's The Price Of Compact Capability?
We take to the trails of Hollister Hills for our test of the all-new Jeep Renegade's off-road variant – the Trailhawk.
Ram's Five-Seater Is Ready To Fight Ford
We've already dropped our First Drive of Ram's new entry in the light-commercial van segment, the ProMaster City. Now we go back for a quick second look; this time focusing on the five-passenger Wagon instead of the cargo variant.
One Man's Goldilocks Is Another Man's Overkill
Conventional wisdom would dictate that adding more power and several key performance enhancements to an already very good car, like the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 Coupe, will end up equaling an even better car. In the case of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe, conventional wisdom sort of applies, but perhaps not as much as we'd have initially guessed.
Turbocharged Oddity Ups Its Funk Factor
I didn't always like the Nissan Juke. When it launched in 2010, I just couldn't get over the way it looked – it came across as super weird, and kind of hideous at first blush. But I slowly warmed up to the funky little crossover/hatchback/thing, and after spending some time behind the wheel, I really learned to love Nissan's small wonder. It's a genuine hoot to drive, offering hot hatch-like thrills in a package that doesn't look like anything else on the road. The Nismo and RS models that
VW Offers Up A Safety-First Facelift
The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production since 2010, and is therefore staring down the last part of its model cycle. To keep buyers interested, the company has undertaken a refresh of its upscale midsize SUV. As is typical of these things, the changes include some exterior and interior rejuvenation, as well as increased content levels and a slight uptick in price.
Effectively Splitting The Middle Ground Between S and GT3
UPDATE: An earlier version of this story referenced the 911's six-speed manual transmission, but of course, Porsche uses a seven-speed manual in this car. The text has been changed to reflect this.
The Fortwo always has been – and always will be – the prototypical Smart car. While it has been far and away the brand's best seller, it's not the only model to to wear the moniker. A decade ago, Smart rolled out the larger Forfour, but like the brand's other models that have come and gone, it wasn't much of a success. Now, Smart is back and taking another stab at it with the introduction of this all-new Forfour. And this time, we think it's in a much better position to succeed.
Fastest Bentley Ever Offers More, More, More
Why does the Bentley Mulsanne Speed exist? Sam Graham, product line director for the Mulsanne, tells us Bentley's Western customers demanded it, many driven by memories of the Arnage T – the hotted-up version of the Arnage R. The Arnage T, you may remember, arrived in 2002 and threw down 459 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque on its way to being billed the most powerful production Bentley ever. Today's Mulsanne Speed picks up the torch and takes it all the way to the Olympic stadium.
Enhancements Improve, But A Gentleman's Character Prevails
Minutes after spending time in the refreshed 2016 Audi A6 in Germany, we were tossed the keys to its enthusiast-tuned sibling, the Audi S6. In similar manner to its lesser brethren, the S6 has also been updated for the 2016 model year with a new look, a boost in power and additional technology.
Creamy Complex Powertrain Delivers The E-Assisted Goods
Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Le Petit Prince Of Hot Hatches Comes With A Princely Price
When you think of hot hatches, one French automaker comes to mind... but it's not Citroën. Maybe it should be, though, because some of the industry's best hot hatches are honed on the rally stage, and nobody has dominated the modern World Rally Championship like Citroën has. With the legendary Sébastien Loeb behind the wheel, Citroën won nine Drivers' and eight Constructors' titles between 2003 and 2012. And the last two were scored in the DS3 WRC. The 2014 Citroën DS3
No Hellcat? No Problem
We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'
Well-Seasoned Beauty Gets Shiftier
Aston Martin previewed its most powerful, quickest-accelerating and fastest production roadster ever at this year's Pebble Beach Concours. The 2015 V12 Vantage S Roadster is essentially a convertible version of the V12 Vantage S Coupe, which we reviewed last year, a model that drops the automaker's most potent powertrain into its smallest chassis.
Progressing The Game, Just Not Changing It
You'd be forgiven if you weren't fully aware of this vehicle's existence. While the Soul EV is a big deal for Kia, as it marks the Korean brand's first foray into the world of pure electric vehicles here in the US, it simply has not a been able to garner much regard from the average car fan or, really, the automotive press.
More Brawn, More Focus From This Fashion-Forward Coupe
We recently drove the Audi TT, and although we wish it were radically entertaining instead of merely very fun, it's nevertheless a sharp coupe that vaults ahead of its predecessor with an inspired interior and eager handling. That car will be precursor to this TTS when it gets here a year from now, with the TTS adding adjectives like "more" and "better" to just about everything found on the base coupe. With the standard car having already put on such a fine edge, we wheeled the TTS on Spanish ro
An Urbane Uptick On The Midsize Milieu
As discussed earlier today, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is a new standout in terms of midsize trucks. But the Colorado wasn't the only pickup the General Motors team brought to San Diego for us to sample. Also along for the ride was a pack of GMC Canyons, the slightly more expensive and polished platform-mate to the Chevy.
Refreshed, Resculpted, Polished And Refined
Toyota offers many flavors of its refreshed 2015 Camry, but those who choose to lower their operating cost-per-mile, squeeze 500-plus miles out of each tank of fuel or run a very efficient and reliable sedan in their taxi fleets will only be interested in one: the Camry Hybrid.
Reasonably Priced Car Goes a Little More Top Gear
Kia may be an automaker with a lot going for it these days, but it's not yet one that takes pains to appeal to performance enthusiasts. Aside from its Pirelli World Challenge team, it doesn't support any major racing programs to speak of. And despite having showcased such concepts as the GT4 Stinger and the Provo, it doesn't really offer much in the way of performance models.
Burning Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Is Cheaper But Less Exciting Than You'd Think
It used to be easier to make sense of the auto industry. There were mainstream manufacturers, and there were niche sports car manufacturers. That was before Porsche starting selling more crossovers than it does sports cars, Lamborghini began preparing to go down the same road, and Ferrari introduced an all-wheel-drive hatchback. But long before the arrival of the Cayenne, the unveiling of the Urus and the advent of the FF, the storied marque that is Maserati was already bolstering its sports car

Paris crowed victory in its month-long immigration row with Italy when the European Union's Home Affairs Commissioner declared France had a right to temporarily halt a rail link between the two countries.
Several trains carrying human rights activists and Tunisian migrants holding three-month residence permits issued by Italy were stopped at the border by French police on the grounds there was concern for "public order". "It was a temporary, unique interruption due to public order. The traffic is flowing normally now. Apparently they had the right to do this," said Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.
French authorities said the trains entering France from Italy carried hundreds of illegal Tunisian migrants without valid papers or the ability to support themselves. The European Commission has repeatedly said certain conditions must be met for migrants with permits to go to other Schengen countries, including the possession of valid travel documents and the ability to live without financial help from the state.
The Schengen zone that includes countries like Spain, France, Italy, Austria Germany and several others allows immigrants with valid "Schengen" visas or resident permits to circulate freely in the Schengen zone.
Since January, Italy has seen a steady influx of Tunisian and Libyan refugees fleeing instability in their homelands, landing on the tiny Mediterranean island of Lampedusa. Italy's appeals for help went unheeded by its EU partners. Italian Interior Minister Roberto Maroni then hit upon the idea of giving the over 20,000 migrants three-month temporary residence permits which he claimed would allow them to circulate through the Schengen zone and leave Italy for other EU nations. France refused to honour those permits declaring them illegal. Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini described the blocking of the trains "illegal" and instructed the Italian Ambassador to France to lodge a protest.
But a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry, Bernard Valero, said on Monday that the European Commission's statements indicated "the decisions taken by France respect European rules."
France argues that the Tunisians are economic migrants, who would not typically qualify to stay in the EU, and has warned that the permits alone may not be enough to guarantee them access to France.
Belgium on Sunday also announced it had begun stepping up border controls at its airports and echoed France's position that migrants must be able to show sufficient financial resources before being admitted.
