"The Avengers" Trailer Leaked Online!
Posted: July 18th, 2011 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
We just reported that "Captain America: The First Avenger" will have a teaser trailer for "The Avengers" after the credits. Since many people have already seen the film, we also had detailed description of some of the scenes in the teaser.
Now that teaser has made its way online. It's once again in bootleg form, since we don't know when Marvel will release the official version online. According to sources, this teaser will also be played at Comic-Con.
In related news, it seems that Gwyneth Paltrow will reprise her role as Pepper Potts in "The Avengers," despite the fact that in a recent interview, the actress was clueless about her involvement with the film. A source close to the production claims that Paltrow spent two days shooting her scenes and that her part is more than just a cameo.
Removed by the studio.

I got feeling in 5 years they have The Avengers 2 ... with Downey Jr. getting older
on July 18th, 2011 at 5:35:32 AM
btw, DC Comics must hire this kind marvel guys like Avi Arad or Kevin Fiege.
This two bastard make Marvel beat DC in KO (with only exception for TDK)
on July 18th, 2011 at 5:45:56 AM
Will wait to see this in CA
on July 18th, 2011 at 5:47:37 AM
What ever your smoking, open the windows fella
on July 18th, 2011 at 5:50:42 AM
Can't wait for this and The Dark Knight Rises. Gonna be a good summer for movies next year

Captain America sees black guy *awkward pause*
on July 18th, 2011 at 5:53:59 AM
It will be good summer next year if we survive - comet, apocalypse and alien invasion.....you know - the usual
on July 18th, 2011 at 6:06:47 AM
I'm, erm, excited?
on July 18th, 2011 at 6:50:20 AM
I'm excited! But I hope the movie will give each character the chance to shine, unlike the X-Men trilogy which was all about Wolverine
on July 18th, 2011 at 7:32:44 AM
Avengers is gonna be sh*t!! I hope it ends all comic book films and we can go back to normal films and Rabid can go back to his picture books.
on July 18th, 2011 at 8:00:57 AM

dave - won't it be called just "Captain" there mate !!
on July 18th, 2011 at 8:30:35 AM
This will probably be awesome as all hell.
on July 18th, 2011 at 9:19:07 AM
There's no chance it won't be, this will be one of the few times I hang up character development (Necessary anyway, since we know their storys), logical plot direction/character choices, and drama (Although we'll probably get that anyway. Probably some soapy sh*t). I'm going to just relax and enjoy all those pretty little explosions, lightning effects, and people getting tossed around like a 5 year old playing with toys.
on July 18th, 2011 at 9:22:01 AM
sh*t... with this and TDKR, the end is NOWHERE in sight, Cinema, buddy 'ol pal, homie gee locster dog yo.

Not bad, does the trailer come in 3D?

As far as grainy bootleg teaser trailers that wasn't too bad. Sure you can call it playing a long shot, but I have been firmly in the corner of Joss Whedon on this film from the moment they named him. I am also setting my expectations as far as acting in the mid range. I think Whedon will play it smart and not give too many of these guys too much to do and let the characters be themselves. You can go a long way with one character and this one has multiples.
Next summer will definitely be an interesting one. With Harry Potter ending on one helluva high note, can we expect the same number or better to flock to see the final Nolan helmed installment of The Dark Knight?? Will Marvel hold enough momentum going into next summer to put The Avengers up top? There were a lot of superhero movies this summer and next summer we will have two of the most anticipated ones going at it. Can't wait.
on July 18th, 2011 at 10:45:56 AM
I've been looking forward to this... for DECADES!
on July 18th, 2011 at 10:53:00 AM
The last part of your post reminded me of the ending of Soap each week ;-)
on July 18th, 2011 at 11:05:00 AM
Soap... lol. Remember when Burt thought he could make himself invisible? Priceless.
on July 18th, 2011 at 11:22:57 AM
You couldnt see Nick FUry because he's Black unless he smiles
on July 18th, 2011 at 11:33:55 AM
Bando-lol that or he looks sideways to see the white in his eyes.
on July 18th, 2011 at 11:52:28 AM
Dark as f*ck but i think Thor looked even more badass and gruffer than before? i think?
on July 18th, 2011 at 12:10:48 PM
No Seriously Sam Jackson needs to stop and give other upcoming or washed up actors opportunities. I'm sick of watching his same pulp fiction performance for like 15 years already.sh*t's old and played out already
on July 18th, 2011 at 12:21:32 PM
Because I'm a ginormous comic book nerd, I'm excited for the avengers. most people here say it's going to suck because you don't know how to enjoy certain movies.
I'm not watching superhero movies for intense acting, even though in some cases its pretty good, I'm watching this to see a bunch of kickass action scenes with superheros fighting supervillains in true comic book, outlandish, fashion.
on July 18th, 2011 at 12:22:33 PM
I just realized, a Hancok styled, "Devil in the Bottle"(that was an Iron Man comic book story arc, look it up) Iron Man 3 movie would be really interesting.
on July 18th, 2011 at 1:24:30 PM
They managed to turn tony starks drunken story arc "demon in a bottle" into one dumbass scen in im2.
The third will likely go back into the rings story.
on July 18th, 2011 at 1:24:52 PM
uhh no trailer to speak of. lawyers get to ya, alex? :)
on July 18th, 2011 at 2:31:12 PM
Watching a grainy and fast edit avengers teaser on my phone didnt really do much for me as far as excitment goes....
That being said i feel a solid minute of scar jo jumping on a trampoline in her shield suit would have done a lot more for me.
on July 18th, 2011 at 4:09:29 PM
Just watched it somewhere else because the trailer has been removed here. :/
Thor looks much better on this trailer than on his own movie, where he looked bad sometimes because his hair constantly looked like a bad wig and the beard seemed too fake, same could be said about his suit which sometimes seemed to be made of plastic, he looks more natural here imo. Cap's suit looks worse, I hope it gets better with the helmet and something else when he is fighting the bad guys. Iron Man and Sam Jackson look exactly the same though.
Can't wait for this and TDKR. :D
on July 18th, 2011 at 5:11:05 PM
Lol, Burt was one crazy dude that for sure
on July 18th, 2011 at 6:07:03 PM
Joe Johnston don't make this. The character was ruined in episode 2 - he is no longer mysterious or cool in my eyes. If you are going to make a spin off set it in another timeline far away from the 40 year span of the current saga.
on July 18th, 2011 at 6:11:28 PM
***disregard my comment**
on July 19th, 2011 at 1:33:13 AM
Could be alright. Downey isn't gonna foul it up, but, honestly, I have not been impressed by any of the Marvel filmss since the original Iron-Man. C.A. still looks like a tool, though. Evans' face is permanently stuck on stupid.
on July 19th, 2011 at 8:57:50 AM
says "though. Evans' face is permanently stuck on stupid."
lol at last some one notes it, he always have that d*ck face how that hell he is Cap, f*ck this gay really that movie is going to suck because of him!

Camacho Jr talks to 8CN about his dad and shares thoughts with the fans.
The following are direct quotes from my conversation with Hector Camacho Jr this afteroon.
"Things are not looking good for pops. I hope all of this is a wake up call for our youth. We can't keep living like the way we are."
"World champion Juan Manuel Lopez paid for all flight costs for me and my family to get to Puerto Rico. That's what I call a champion! Inside and outside of the ring!"
"Felix Tito Trinidad is at the hospital with Camacho"
"My Grandma is waiting for me to get to Puerto Rico. I leave tonight, and when I get there we will discuss what were going to do."
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-1-1, 32 KOs) returns to action on April 18 whan he faces Andzrej Fonfara (26-3-0, 15 KOs) at the StubHub center in Carson, CA. The former middleweight champion Chavez Jr. will debut on Showtime, and end a thirtteen month layoff due to a dispute between his advisor, Al Haymon, and his former promoter, Top Rank. Chavez Jr., of Sinaloa, Mexico, and Fonfara, a Polish native now living in Chicago, will compete over twelve rounds at a catchweight of 172 pounds. Fonfara usually fights in the 175 pound light heavyweight division but does not feel the three additional pounds he must lose is an issue. "When I fought [Adonis] Stevenson, I was 173 [pounds]," Andrzej explained. Fonfara challenged and lost to Stevenson for the WBC light heavyweight title last June. Rather than focusing on the catchweight, Fonfara and his trainer, Sam Colonna, emphasized that their team chose this match with Julio over several other names. "Julio Cesar Chavez is the fight we wanted." Colonna stressed. "His style is perfect for us. This fight will take us to the top. It will be an action fight ... Julio Cesar Chavez is going to be right in front of us." By contrast, father Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. felt otherwise. "I didn't want the fight," he explained. "Andrzej Fonfara is very strong. But my son wanted this fight because it will build his credibility." Chavez Jr. feels Fonfara will be an obliging dance partner under the bright lights of the open-air ring that seems to bring out the war in fighters: Marquez-Vazquez I, Bradley-Provodnikov, and Matthyse-Molina, to name a few. "I've shown people I can fight. I [will] put on a good show for the people," Julio promised. "Andrzej Fonfara is a good fighter. He has a good chin." Chavez Jr. does not plan to move up to light heavyweight, however. "After this fight I want to go to 168 ... I feel good. I am ready to win another world title!" Team Chavez moved camp from Los Angeles, CA to Lake Tahoe, NV last week. Trainer Joe Goossen is pleased with Chavez's progress. "Julio is very serious. He's willing to work very hard for this fight ... I can't tell you happy I am to work with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.," Goossen exuded. Chavez Jr. is equally upbeat about their partnership. "I've known Joe Goossen for a long time. He's a great trainer and a great motivator and he's a hard worker like me so I think we will be successful." Chavez Jr. vs. Fonfara will be broadcast on Showtime at 10 PM ET/ 7 PM PT on April 18, 2015.
One of the more anticipated announcements that fans awaited during this week's press conference that formally announced the Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao super fight was the multi-city press tour or the 24-7 schedule.No such announcements were made at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles where over 700 media credentials were issued for reporters from various parts of the globe.The rationale of a multi-city tour and a 24-7 production is to drum up interest for the fight in the hopes of maximizing pay-per-view buys. In this case, however, none of the promotional tools are required.This duel has been anticipated for years and the lure is the contrasting fighting styles of the parties involved as well as their clashing personalities.At stake for the 38-year old Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) is his unbeaten record and the his place in boxing history as an undefeated champion following the footsteps of the great Rocky Marciano, who was 49-0 with 43 knockouts as heavyweight champion of the world.For Pacquiao,36, an eight-division champ with a 57-5 slate with 38 knockouts, Pretty Boy is another mountain to climb as he cements his place among boxing's immortals.Tickets for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight range from a low of $1500 to a high of $7500.
In this 8 Count News exclusive, David Hopper talks boxing with adult film star Brandi Love, an avid fan and student of the sweet science. Among the biggest names in the adult industry today, Love has starred in numerous scenes since her foray into porn a decade ago. The 41-year-old has made appearances on The Tyra Banks Show, The Dr. Keith Ablow Show and The Howard Stern Show. A self-proclaimed "sexual anthropologist," she has written a book on sexuality and has lectured college students on sex and alternative relationships. David Hopper: You're very open about your love of boxing. You often tweet about fights to your nearly 200,000 Twitter followers. I read where you said you've been into boxing for more than 25 years and your husband boxed at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit. Talk about how you were introduced to the sport. Brandi Love: It's kind of funny. It's kind of like my love for football. I don't remember a time in my life where I didn't enjoy it or that it wasn't around me. My dad and brother were certainly into the football thing. I grew up in Detroit and boxing was huge. It was mainstream. 'Rocky' was always around when I was growing up. Though I was too little for the first one, by the time I hit my teen years they were pretty much all out. Myself being an athlete, I always appreciated and respected the sport of boxing. Even though I was a girl and it seemed a little brutal at times I still respected the pure athleticism of these guys – the mental strength, the physical strength, the training, not to mention, the skill. I think as a little kid just being around it and then growing up as a teenager being an athlete myself and appreciating the sport. Then I met my husband in college and he was a boxer. It's just always been around me and it always will be. DH: Who are some of your favorite active fighters? BL: As far all-time favorites that are active, I really am a Pacquiao fan. I'm a Mayweather fan. I love Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin and Juan Manuel Marquez. Those are a few of the active ones that I'm enjoying watching. One of my hotspots is the MMA-boxing thing. People say 'Oh, boxing's dead.' It just kills me because of the fighters I just listed. How can you say there's nobody worth watching or that boxing is dead? The demographic is different. I believe it's changed. I believe there are a lot of things the boxing world could do to bring it back, and I believe that some of it is starting. Watching Triple G, I think he's gonna be around for a while and I think he's gonna make some major major news. I think Alvarez is an amazing puncher. I was at the Mayweather-Canelo fight. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little bit disappointed. Not that I wanted to see Mayweather get knocked out, I just thought Canelo - he froze – he got nervous and he wasn't punching. The only way you beat Mayweather is to be faster and to be a better puncher because you're never gonna outbox him. DH: Let's talk about Mayweather-Pacquiao. Were you surprised the fight was finally made? Some fans had given up hope on it ever being made. Did you think that it would happen and what was your reaction when it finally did happen? BL: My reaction was: It's about time. And on the inside I was doing the happy dance. I got goose bumps I was so excited. I really believed it was a matter of time. I think both teams wanted it. I think I understand some of why it wasn't happening. But the fact that it took five years, for me, does not depreciate the excitement at all. I'm just thrilled that it's happening. DH: Who will you be pulling for and who do you favor to win? BL: I've always respected Mayweather as a fighter. His persona has not been my favorite. He's a genius and it worked from the marketing standpoint, but his persona is what got under my skin. And Pacquiao, how can you not love the guy? He's this great human being. He does all these wonderful things and he's a helluva fighter. Up until [the March 11 press conference], I was really pushing for Pacquiao, I really think he's an amazing fighter. I really think if he does certain things, if he fights rough, if he fights close, if he puts the pressure on. If he does those things, I believe he can beat Mayweather. But I watched the live conference and, this might sound silly, but Pacquiao gets to the microphone and he gave a sermon. He and I are of the same beliefs. People might find that crazy, but I practice the same faith. I didn't want a preacher. I didn't want a sermon. I wanted a fighter. I just sat there and I felt sad. And then Mayweather comes on. Poised, charismatic, thankful, graceful. And a fighter. It absolutely flipped my card. I actually think Floyd Mayweather deserves to win. I think he can win. And, honest to God, I think he will win. There's a reason he's 47-0. The guy lives, breathes, and eats boxing. Whether you love him or hate him, he is boxing. Pacquiao used to be. Now Pacquiao is a coach, he's a politician, he's involved in the military, he's a father, he's a dad, and he's involved in music. Amazing human being. But I feel like he's lost his fighter's edge. You can be good at a lot of things or great at one thing, and Mayweather has earned my respect as being the guy who's great at one thing. DH: Do you think the fight will be competitive and exciting? BL: I think it will absolutely be exciting. I think what's fun to watch is that they are such extremely different fighters. Both of them have skill but you will not outskill Mayweather, in my opinion. If Manny brings his 'A' game and he pressures Floyd and fights close and he punches and punches and punches, keeps up that momentum, I think he can throw Mayweather off. Do I think Manny will bring what he needs to bring to beat him? Who can call it, right? But I really don't think so. Floyd doesn't go down and he has an uncanny ability to keep his pace the same all the time. If Floyd walks in and plays that game and Manny falls into it, I think Manny is over. If Manny walks in and throws Mayweather's game off and takes control it could be really interesting. DH: Marcos Maidana had some success against Mayweather in his fights with him last year. Maidana threw 100 punches in the first round of their first bout and mauled Mayweather against the ropes. Maidana and Pacquiao are different fighters, of course, but do you feel Pacquiao will have to use similar tactics, pressuring Mayweather, keeping a high punch output and throwing punches from awkward angles like he does in order to outwork Mayweather and win the fight? BL: You nailed it. I was impressed when Floyd took the fight because, in my opinion, Floyd knows that that's the type of guy that can beat him. Pacquiao, though he's not Maidana, they do have a similar skill set and you saw it work. Marcos did that and it worked. It's a matter of being able to continue it. It's just like in football. When a team is doing something and it's working, don't friggin' change it because it's working. It's a very very hard pace to keep up, but if Pacquiao has the endurance and he fights like that, it could be a very interesting fight. DH: Talk some about your career. What has your experience in the adult industry been like as one of the most popular adult actresses in the world? BL: Well, it all started back in 2004 with Brandilove.com. My husband and I have always been adventurous. I've always been a free spirit. When the idea was presented, I thought, 'This will be really fun. Let's see what happens here.' Something that started as a just a fun little hobby turned into an absolutely incredible career. I have no regrets. I've had so much fun. I've had so many opportunities. If it weren't for adult I would have never have been on Howard Stern. I've had the opportunity to be on some mainstream television discussing my beliefs on human sexuality if you will. I speak at universities regarding human sexuality and relationships. It's so interesting to me that something that was always very natural to me is something I made a career out of it. Not only a career, but in it's own way, leave a mark. To me, there's nothing more important than healthy relationships, whatever that means, and to get to be a part of that in our society, to me, it's just been awesome. My other business is taking off. Things are going so fast and so good that I just can't manage everything and I just don't do anything half-assed. So I struck a deal with Brazzers and I'll be doing my last 12 scenes for that company. I never ever see retirement because I'll never retire, I just go from one career to another. It's been absolutely incredible. I've had the opportunity to do everything I've set out to do. Now I have nine scenes left. Those are all very well thought out and opportunities to express myself in ways I haven't yet. I feel extremely extremely lucky. DH: Any closing remarks for your fans and the fight fans out there? BL: For the fight fans, I believe the word is going to stop on May 2. I'll be watching and I think no matter what happens it's going to be historical. Keep supporting boxing. It's coming on strong. I'll look forward to hanging out and chatting with them about the different fights. For my fans in general, thank you for an incredible decade of raunchy fun sexual behavior. It's been incredible getting to know them. I think I've been taught more than I've been able to teach. I have them to thank for all of it. I'm shooting my last 12 scenes for Brazzers. However, my focus is going back to my personal site Brandilove.com. Weekly updates and live members shows will continue and be better than ever. The following photos are courtesy of Brandilove.com:
Longest reigning Filipino World Champion Donnie "Ahas" Nietes and five-division World Champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire will highlight the double main event of ALA Boxing Promotion's "Pinoy Pride 30". Expected to take place this coming March 28 "Pinoy Pride 30, D-Day", also features undefeated super bantamweight IBF Intercontinental champion Prince Albert Pagara. The three Filipino fighters vowed to give fans an exciting night of non-stop action at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Manila, Philippines. Donnie "Ahas" Nietes (34-1-4, 20 KOs), who at the age of 20 started his career as a professional boxer is now the longest reigning Filipino Champion surpassing the record held by Filipino Boxing Hall of Famer Gabriel "Flash" Elorde. Elorde reigned in the junior lightweight division for seven years and three months in the 1960's while Nietes still holds his WBO title at 105 pounds since 2007. Come March 28, Nietes will make his next title defense against Mexican challenger Gilberto Parra (19-1, 17 KOs) who is ranked no. 13. Nietes fights to extend his legacy in the WBO world light flyweight division by keeping the winning streak as long as he can. It's not over yet! That's what Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire (33-3, 21 KOs) wants the world to know. Coming from a devastating loss to WBA featherweight champion Nicholas Walters, the Filipino Flash is back and returns to his home country to fight at 122 pounds. His loss to the Jamaican power puncher prompted him to go back a division weight lower where he once ruled before losing to Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux. Vying for super bantamweight weight championship title, Donaire will face Brazillian William Prado (22-4-1, 15 KOs). Nonito earned 2012 Fighter of the Year Award and has won world titles at 112, 118, 122 and 12 pounds as well as interim belt at 115 pounds. Although he grew up in the United states, he shares the same hometown with Filipino boxing icon and Fighter of the Decade Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao in General Santos City, south of the Philippines. This will be his fourth time to fight in his native land Philippines and for the first time since 2009. Asked whether he is thinking about retirement in the near future, he said a loss to this fight might prompt him to hang his gloves for good and that there is no reason to go on with his career if he can't even keep up with this level of a fight. However, report says, an impressive win would possibly secure him a ticket to a title fight in Macau, China in July where he will be the main event as promised by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. A fight also to be considered a highlight will be exhibited by the reigning International Boxing Federation Intercontinental super bantamweight champion Prince Albert Pagara against Mexico's Rodolfo Hernandez (26-5-1, 24 KOs). Prince Albert Pagara (22-0-0 15 KO), a crowd favorite, is a hardhitting boxer from ALA stable who is currently the no. 1 fighter in the Philippines for the super bantamweight division and is quickly rising up in status in the international boxing scene. He is one of the sparring mates of Nonito Donaire during the latter's two-week training at the ALA Gym in Cebu in preparation for the March 28 match. According to Donaire, Albert Pagara hits hard and fights well as a sparring mate and with the impressive skills, is set for a promising career ahead of him. Meantime, Rodolfo Hernandez is no easy prey with 24 out of 26 wins coming by way of knockout. This is certainly a kind of fight that will put boxing fans at the edge of their seats. One defends legacy, one fights for redemption, and one strives to be the next star. "D-Day" initiates On March 28, Saturday at Smart Araneta Coliseum, Manila, Philippines. Undercard fights feature Ryo Akaho of Japan vs Prosper Ankrah of Ghana and AJ "Bazooka" Banal of Philippines vs Junior Bajawa of Indonesia. Pinoy Pride 30 is promoted by ALA Boxing Promotions, the Philippines' premier boxing outfit.

I left our initial meeting feeling it was no more than a social call. My questions emailed were normally left unanswered. I was billed more than $8,000 and all that was accomplished was filing a complaint and serving its summons through a process server. A complete failure of service.
I have always been happy with Mr. Van Siclen's services. He has been extremely responsive to my needs, especially when it came to family estate planning. My husband and I have consulted him regarding a real estate transaction, a traffic violation, and wills/estate planning. II have found his advice very sound and would recommend him without reservation.
Bob was fabulous to work with. Very professional, honest and gets the job done.Fortuneatly, I haven't needed an attorney lately. When I do, Bob will get the call!!
Best firm I've ever worked with
Mr. Van Siclen has handled several issues for me during the last 15 years. One was a wrongful termination case, and another was against an insurance company that refused to pay the claim. There were several other cases and all were settled in my favor. I have the utmost respect for and confidence in Mr. Van Siclen.
Mr. VanSiclen has represented me on two separate occasions. He is compassionate, forthright, and extremely capable. Bob kept me in the loop every step of the way on both cases, and was great about explaining everything that was happening. The outcome of both cases was very positive thanks to Bob's expertise and hard work.
I was honored to have Mr. Van Siclen represent me on a previouse accident case and found him to be professional, reliable and an overall astute attorney. I would recommend him to anyone.

Hit on Houston Texans' QB earns $50,000 fine
Denver Broncos linebacker Joe Mays received a one-game suspension and a $50,000 fine from the NFL for the hit that dislodged Texans quarterback Matt Schaub's helmet and took off a piece of his ear.
Mays will appeal the fine and suspension, a person familiar with the process told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Broncos hadn't yet notified the NFL of the decision. According to NFL rules, the appeal will be heard and decided before Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders.
Mays drew a roughing-the-passer penalty for the third-quarter hit on Schaub, who left the field with blood flowing from his ear and missed one play before returning. Schaub threw for four touchdowns in Houston's 31-25 win last Sunday.
If he loses the appeal, Mays wouldn't be able to practice with the Broncos this week or be at the team's headquarters. Mays would be reinstated next Monday.
When asked after the game if he expected to be fined, Mays said: "Oh yeah. I'm expecting that. But it was not my intention to do that."
Coach John Fox said Mays was not trying to intentionally hurt Schaub.
"That's not Joe Mays, that's not what we teach," Fox said. "It's accidental, playing football. You see it around the league every week."
The NFL fined Mays $7,875 after Week 2 because Mays hit Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan late and in the head area after Ryan had slid to declare himself down. The play did not draw a penalty.
The latest Mays penalty came a day after the NFL levied a $30,000 fine against Fox and a $25,000 fine against defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio for verbal abuse of the officials during the Atlanta game.
The Broncos are already missing starting linebacker D.J. Williams, who is serving a six-game suspension for violating the league's banned-substance policy.
Falcons' Abraham arrested: The police officer who arrested Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham said Abraham was "obviously intoxicated" as he refused requests to leave an area taped off by firefighters and police on Monday night.
In a police report released on Tuesday, Officer Christopher Blaise of the Atlanta police department said Abraham "had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from him, his speech was extremely slurred, his eyes were bloodshot and he was unsteady on his feet" when he was arrested on two misdemeanor charges of obstruction.
Fulton County jail records showed Abraham was released from custody Tuesday at 1:24 a.m. on $7,000 bond.
The arrest of Abraham, the team's top pass rusher, came one week after running back Michael Turner's drunken driving arrest. Turner, also charged with speeding, was allowed to play in Sunday's 27-3 win in San Diego.
The Falcons are off on Tuesday and there was no word from the team on Abraham's status for Sunday's game against Carolina.
Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts said Tuesday he did not expect a comment from the team on Abraham's arrest before coach Mike Smith's regular news conference Wednesday.
The Falcons said late Monday the team was gathering more information on the incident.
Abraham's arrest came after Atlanta firefighters and police responded to a report of a female threatening to jump from a hotel window Monday night, according to Officer K. Y. Jones.
Officers were moving people away from the scene when Abraham entered the taped-off area.Blaise said firefighter Jeff Schultz said he asked Abraham to leave at least three times, and that Blaise and a hotel security guard also asked him to remain behind the tape.
Abraham, 34, is the NFL's active career leader with 114 sacks, including two in the Falcons' 3-0 start. He led the team with 9½ sacks last season.
Punters' parade: Punters were front and center as teams juggled rosters Tuesday.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed two-time Pro Bowl punter Mat McBriar to a two-year contract and released Chas Henry.
McBriar, a 33-year old native of Australia, played eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys from 2004-11. He played with the Eagles in the preseason and was among the final cuts. Henry was in his second season with the Eagles. He averaged 48.3 yards with a net of 38 yards on 16 punts.
McBriar's average of 45.3 yards per punt ranks fifth in NFL history. McBriar's career net average is 38.4 yards and he has 175 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills released veteran punter Brian Moorman, a two-time Pro Bowl pick who has been with the team since 2001, and signed free agent Shawn Powell to replace him. Moorman had a net average of only 32.7 yards a punt this season.
Powell had signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Florida State, but was cut during camp.
And the Detroit Lions put punter Ben Graham on injured reserve (calf) and signed Nick Harris, who had played for Detroit from 2003-10 and punted for Jacksonville last season.
'Skins to sign Grant: The Washington Redskins are expected to announce Wednesday that they have signed former Green Bay Packer Ryan Grant to bolster their banged-up backfield.
The team currently has no healthy backup behind rookie starter Alfred Morris. The Redskins also signed cornerback David Jones and waived-injured cornerback Crezdon Butler.
Butler injured a hamstring in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Bengals.
Briefly: The New York Jets have signed running back Jonathan Grimes from the Houston Texans' practice squad. .... The Dallas Cowboys placed starting safety Barry Church (ruptured Achilles) on injured reserve and signed free agent Eric Frampton. ... The Indianapolis Colts signed cornerback Darius Butler, New England's second-round pick in 2009 who played last season in Carolina. ... The Chiefs put cornerback Jacques Reeves (hamstring) on injured reserve. Reeves sat out two full seasons to tend to his mother, who underwent a liver and kidney transplant last September. ... The Miami Dolphins re-signed safety Jonathan Amaya, one of the players they sent to New Orleans last season in the Reggie Bush trade. They also signed linebacker Mike Rivera, who played in Miami in December 2010, and was cut before last season.

It's sort of looking like Spring has sprung, with the sun out and temperatures on the rise. And what better way to ring it in than with a little outdoor entertainment in the form of the Austin Aztex? This Saturday, March 28th the Aztex will host the Colorado Springs Switchbacks in their USL debut.
Having spent three seasons as part of the USL Premier Development League, the latter ending with a championship, the Aztex have earned a place in a higher division. Boasting last year's PDL Coach of the Year and Most Valuable Player in Paul Dalglish and Kris Tyrpak, respectively, the Aztex look set to make waves in their inaugural season.
The new Aztex Beer Garden sponsored by Shiner is a neat little addition to House Park and another reason to get excited about watching a bit of football.
Visit Do512 for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the game. Or find season tickets here. And don't worry, if you're busy Saturday night, just stream the game on the Aztex Youtube page!

Defense Travel System:
Implementation Challenges Remain
GAO-09-577: Published: Jun 30, 2009. Publicly Released: Jun 30, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In 1995, the Department of Defense (DOD) began an effort to implement a standard departmentwide travel system--the Defense Travel System (DTS). GAO has made numerous recommendations aimed at improving DOD management, oversight, and implementation of DTS. GAO was asked to (1) assess the actions DOD has taken to implement GAO's prior recommendations; (2) determine the actions DOD has taken to standardize and streamline its travel rules and processes; (3) determine if DOD has identified its legacy travel systems, their operating costs, and which of these systems will be eliminated; and (4) report on DOD's costs to process travel vouchers manually and electronically. To address these objectives, GAO (1) obtained and analyzed relevant travel policies and procedures, and documents related to the operation of DTS and (2) interviewed appropriate DOD and contractor personnel.
While the department has made progress in improving the efficiency of its travel operations by implementing DTS and revising its processes and policies, unresolved operational issues continue to exist. DOD has taken sufficient action to satisfactorily address 6 of the 14 recommendations GAO made in 2006 pertaining to unused airline tickets, restricted airfares, testing of system interfaces, and streamlining of certain travel processes. More effort is needed to address the remaining 8 related to requirements management and system testing, utilization, premium-class travel, and developing an automated approach to reduce the need for hard-copy receipts to substantiate travel expenses. For example, in the area of requirements management and testing, GAO's analysis found that the display of flight information by DTS is complicated and confusing. This problem continues because DOD has yet to establish DTS flight display requirements that minimize the number of screens DOD travelers must view in selecting a flight. The 1995 DOD Travel Reengineering Report made 22 recommendations to streamline DOD's travel rules and processes. GAO found that DOD had satisfactorily addressed all 22 recommendations. For example, DOD has mandated the use of commercial travel offices (CTO), established a single entity within DOD--the Defense Travel Management Office--to contract with CTOs for travel services, and has begun modifying CTO contracts as they become subject to renewal to standardize the level of services provided. According to DOD officials, except for locations where DTS has not yet been deployed, DTS is used by the military services and all 44 defense agencies and joint commands to process temporary duty (TDY) travel vouchers. The department uses two legacy systems to process (1) TDY travel vouchers at locations where DTS is not yet deployed and (2) civilian and military permanent duty travel vouchers since DTS currently lacks the functionality to process these vouchers. DOD provided us with fiscal year 2008 expenditure data for one system and budget data for the other system. The expenditure/budget data provided by DOD were comparable to the amounts budgeted for these systems for fiscal year 2008. According to DOD officials, these legacy systems will not be eliminated because they provide the capability to process military and civilian permanent duty travel vouchers. Although DTS is expected to provide the capability to process military permanent duty travel vouchers in fiscal year 2010, DOD has not yet decided if civilian permanent duty travel voucher processing will be added to DTS. DOD cost data indicate that it is about 15 times more expensive to process a travel voucher manually--$36.52 manually versus $2.47 electronically. DOD officials acknowledged that the department continues to lack the data needed to ascertain the complete universe of travel vouchers that should be processed through DTS.

Getting ready for Christmas
Our dog, Max, passed away in late October. He was 11, almost 12. He was a very good dog. We got him when Emma was a baby, and he was just a month older than her.
He had his crazy puppy moments, eating multiple pairs of shoes, eating siding and drywall, the redwood deck,and ceramic planters, the tubing on our air conditioning unit and attempting the 220 line. He puked up playdoh and ice cream in the house, peed on a fake Christmas tree and Sarah's infant seat.
He loved to run, and jump and play in the Colorado snow. He was teased mercilessly by the backyard squirrels and was very sheepish the one time he caught one.
He was obedient to a level that surprised many. He used to stand outside the open back door, not coming in unless he was invited. Kinda like a vampire, but one who only wants to sniff you and love you.
Max was a horrible walker. He'd pull you the entire time, to the point that your arm would ache afterwards. He loved his backyard realm though. He patrolled faithfully until the weeks before he died.
Max loved to dig. He used to wear down his nails digging holes under bushes.
Max was a great listener. He could often be found listening to all the kids troubles, patiently, sympathetically. He was always gentle with the kids, even if he didn't obey their high pitched yells to go, sit, stay!!
Max loved to eat. He loved apples, carrots, meats, eggs, corn on the cob. Pretty much everything except greens. He used to wait around while Howard was grilling, waiting for something to fall. In fact, while our house was being worked on, he snatched one of the workers lunches one day! He was never food aggressive though.
Max was a very gentle, loving dog. He was never a barker. He just loved his family, loved doing his job to protect us, and loved life.

Stem fair
This year, Emma participated in a STEM math class. They learned about tesselations, structures and design. Each student designed and built their own bridges out of toothpicks and glue.
After all the bridges were finished, they attended the STEM fair, which replaced the science fair. The kids displayed their bridges and their plans. There were also additional displays by kids as young as Kindergarten.
The bridges were tested to the breaking point, and compared according to how much the bridge weighed vs. How much weight it could hold.
I think Emma enjoyed the class. She also got to be with other kids who will be going to Outdoor Ed camp with her next month. Some of them she already knew from last year, and swim team.

I opted to use this basket mounted on Thule rails on the top of the bed tonneau cover (Pace Edwards Full Metal Jacket with Explorer rails). The basket itself is in 3 pieces (I opted for the extended version) and doesn't line up perfectly, more like about 1/2" to 3/4" off. The plastic binding pieces that connect the basket together don't leave me feeling very confident that it won't blow apart the first time I hit a bump with a cooler or a spare tire on it. But we shall see. Looks great tho!
Poor instructions and fitting

My main complaint is how the item bolts down to the cross bars. It comes with some nuts that are for hand tightening. After the nuts are tightened there is this cover that is placed over the nuts that I believe is supposed to prevent the nuts from loosing. However, the cover does not fit snugly and on my first trip one cover came off and the nuts loosened so much that I lost one of the nuts. I had to stop and get a locking nut at a hardware store and fasten the covers with duck tape. Awful
Looks Great!

Most Horrible Gardening Mistake Ever
I am devastated. My blueberry bushes had spider mites bad. I sprayed with the only bug killer I had for mites which was Ortho Insect and Disease Control. I did read the label but did not see the very tiny print "for non-edibles only." This morning I called the company. They said all annual edible plants sprayed must be destroyed and my blueberries cannot be eaten for a year! I must have thousands of blueberries I waited two years for. Now I need to cut them all off and throw them away. If anyone reads this, I would appreciate some of your mistakes if you have any.
I am so depressed.
If you were a NYer you would probably consider suing the company for putting that extremely crucial information in very fine print. Awful lot of baby boomers that need a magnifying glass to decipher the tiny stuff.
It is so crucially important to carefully read pesticide labels but your mistake is only par on the long road to any mastery of growing fruit plants. Your extreme concern for your blueberries actually probably worked against you as you were likely more focused on the mites than the label.
So sorry for you loss.
Washing it down buys you time to research the issue, and minimizes the amount in circulation. I understand it is systemic but what is the half life and where does it go primarily? If the half life is one month, I would eat them all when they ripen. If it ends primarily in the leaves, and I washed it down, I would also think about it.
The contact specialist said that because the chemical works by photosynthesis, all areas exposed absorb the chemical including berries. The half life is 3 weeks but he said don't go by half life. Nothing can be eaten that grows within 2 feet of the spray area for one year. So I have lost my crop for the year. What produce should I have used for spider mites for future reference?
In your situation I would remove the fruit as green berries, and put it all into the compost, for a 2 year period. Then I would do what is needed to help the shrubs recover, but I would not prune the shrubs heavily at this time. You lost a year's crop of blueberries, but I don't see any reason for cutting the shrubs down, I think the systemic insecticide will be metabolized and/or degraded by next spring. Sometimes it becomes necessary to re-pack and re-label chemicals. If you continue to use Ortho Insect & Disease Control, I think you should make your own label, with an improved description and an improved warning. Anyone who is not a strictly organic gardener could make this sort of error. Thanks for the heads-up.
That is a good idea ltilton but I cannot find one. The active ingredients are: acephate 4%, triforine 3.25 and fenbutatin-oxide .75%. I Googled each item and also the product. The product is listed as a Code 1 in the Toxicity Category of Danger. Can you recommend a search criteria to try for more info relating to this issue?
While this is very bad for you this year it is my experience that following a crop-free year the next will be a bumper crop. If you are able to remove the berries while they are green the plants will likely put their energy into growth for next year.
I experienced this with a peach-less year two years ago and then last year was a bumper crop. This year I don't have peaches so I am hoping next will be a bumper crop also.
I'm with Milehigh and Bamboo. Cut your losses, don't eat the berries, remove the berries and look towards next season. It is so hard, but we all have gone through this in one fashion or another. You just won't have YOUR blueberries this summer. That is all. You will have a bumper-crop next year for sure! I also have to wait another entire year for peaches. I had a ton last summer and only have 2 this year, and it is before June drop! Next year is another year in the berry patch and orchard. Next year will bring a new surprise. Mrs.G
Freezing the berries will not work--all that would do is freeze the poison inside them and keep it "fresh." Would you freeze food that had cockroaches in it, as if freezing it would make the cockroaches go away in a year?
And frankly I don't know if I would ever again trust the fruit from a plant which has systemic poison in it. I would much rather buy a new one and be safe. Or maybe, if it were rare, take a small stem and propigate from that, which would at least dilute it greatly.
For spidermites it would be much better to buy beneficials or use diatamaceous earth, than to try and poison your way out. Here is one site that sells them. A bonus is they are likely to breed a new generation for next year, so you might only have to buy them once, like preying mantids.
Carla in Sac
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.marchbiological.com/beneficial-insects/spider-mite-predators/
Thanks, Mrs. G.
Carla, - I can't bring myself to throw out the bushes. I will throw out the berries though. I have never had luck with beneficial insects. I buy them and they fly elsewhere, over and over.
I bought three new bushes today and they have spider mites (ace hardware) so I will spray with safer insecticidal soap.
Sorry about the peaches. When my 15 fruit trees are old enough, I guess I will go through that, too. Thanks for sharing everyone.
Looks like the rep was covering the company's ass. Either the half life is three weeks or it is not. If it is 21 days, the concentration will go down by a factor of 8 in 63 days, which would be Aug. 5. Needless to say, it will go down by a factor of 1 million by late July 2014, probably more with winter leaf loss. I say that next year is absolutely safe.
I am guessing that once the plant is hosed, the half life will simply depend on metabolic rate, averaging 21 days or so, could be longer or shorter depending on how vigorously the plant is growing. And my guess is that the half life for any systemic in any plant is shortest in the months of May, June and July. If it were, say, 8 days I would eat them, and definitely I would eat them if mites or other insects affected by it were to reappear. I would further research the issue before giving up. Sure there are pesticides with half lives of one year, and you want them as far as possible from you, but they are really all over the map.
Oh golly, treehugger. Okay, first off, hort oil will smother the spider mites. First, hose the heck off the bushes to knock off the mites, then treat with hort oil (just be sure temps stay below 85 degrees). They're pretty easy to get rid of, if you're persistent with hosing your plants off. And, let your own predators take care of the rest of them down the road. For your blueberries, I would flood them with water to try to reduce any residual poison on the plant or in the soil. Wait a year, and then the concentration of the poison should be low enough not to be a concern.
And, a law suit in small claims court is not out of the question here, my gosh. You've invested a fair amount of money into your plants. The cost of your plants, fertilizers, composting, soil amendments, and your time. That's not a small chunk of change if you have a fair number of plants. No one is saying to "sue for every little thing", but you've got a fair amount of investment going on here. Certainly, if you're going to make the decision to pull out your plants and re-plant, it would not be out of line to ask Ortho to compensate you for your lost investment. Bamboo Rabbit, of all forum members can appreciate that, as he has a lot of blueberry bushes going.
Let us know what you end up doing, and you can always post here on the forum if you have a question about how to manage something with your plants. So many great and knowledgeable forum members here to help you out! May save you a future headache :-)
Patty S.
For the record, I wasn't suggesting a lawsuit, only using the litigious reputation of New Yorkers to make a point. I would avoid that companies products in the future, however, as they did a very poor job of protecting you. Should have been BOLD print.
Hey, you know what? The cost of buying some berries or even the cost of new plants is a lot less than the cost of cancer treatments or a funeral.
It says on the label "for use on non-edible plants only". That is pretty simple. Next time don't be so quick to grab a bottle of poison. You are getting some very bad advice here. Cut your loses and move on.
There are new miticides available that I believe are approved for food crops. Do a little research.
Or, take the chance and assume the company doesn't know what they are talking about (they probably didn't do any testing anyway, right?) and just take all this advice from people you never meet and fill your face.
Clorp, I have done a lot of research, even asking in another posting on this forum for suggestions but no safe products were recommended. I did try spraying with the hose but I guess not enough. I could not find any products and I had this one on hand. Anyway, my mistake.
Harvestman, the company that makes this product is the same one that makes round up. I think for that reason alone, I will not eat the berries.
Patty, Thank you. Hort oil it is.
I appreciate everyone's support and ideas. Tomorrow, I will cut the berries off and try to forget about it.
So sorry about your blueberries, tree, but please don't eat them. It's not worth the risk. I use Neem oil for all kinds of things on my herbs, but have never sprayed my blueberries. That said, I waited five years for berries because I didn't know I needed two different varieties for pollination. Finally, after three years with no berries, I did some research and picked up a couple of plants at the local box store. Voila, berries last year and the bushes are loaded this year, too (though one of the two new ones just up and disappeared -- I suspect one of the dogs, who sometimes pulls small plants up and drags them around as a chew toy).
Every gardener makes mistakes. It's almost inevitable. But we learn and go on. A few years ago the back of my perennial garden was overgrown so I asked my husband to use roundup on the weeds, then I tilled the area and planted about a dozen lupines and hollyhocks I had grown from seed. They were healthy and thriving when they went in, but one by one they died. It turned out he used a roundup that sterilized the soil and nothing would grow there for a year. So I lost an entire year, or two when you consider that most perennials don't bloom till the second year.
This site has a lot of useful info, but then again it has a lot of info that approaches myth. Round Up is an excellent product. It will not sterilize soil for a year. It only works on foliage for one. It doesn't last long. It's very safe!
I also have the insecticide used here, and it is clearly marked not for edibles. Non-edible is all over the label, and the fact they list none is a clear indicator it is not for edibles! I worked for years in a lab, from that experience I see no difference from organic and non organic. As far as I'm concerned it's all organic. At least that is how we defined it in organic labs. "Organic" is used as a marketing tool. Nothing more, I'm afraid.
I recently used Bugs Be Gone by Ortho. It can be used on edibles, and is safe after 3 days. It also works very well killing everything in sight. Watch out for the bees. Hundreds of insecticides are out there. BBG is made from organic molecules, but I'm sure not considered organic. Which makes no sense to me at all? Plastic is probably more dangerous. You won't catch me putting plastic to my lips.
While you are 100% correct that roundup (glyphosphate) only works on the leaves and not in the soil roundup makes a product called "Roundup extended control". It has added chemicals to prevent weeds from growing for months..I think it is 3 or 4 months. So while it may not kill plants for a year it could certainly kill the plants as Caryltoo mentioned. It is designed for cracks in sidewalks and such.

Here are a couple thoughts about this subject:
Spider mites: are you sure that's what you have, have you looked at them with a magnifying device. Here's the device I use, it costs between $2-5 and takes a few weeks to arrive. It really works well and has two bright led lights.
it's very useful for spider mites since they are so small. With it you can see how many full grown ones there are per leaf, how many young ones, and especially how many eggs are waiting to be hatched. I use Safer's Soap solution sprayed on the underside of the leaf (that's where they live) and it works but it doesn't kill the eggs so you have to keep coming back(every 4-7 days in warm weather) until they're all hatched and killed.
Half-life: the half-life of the chemical ingredient(s) depends on where it is when measured. Some chemicals breakdown quickly in the presence of light and water, but that measurement would say nothing about their half-life 12 inches underground in dried out soil. Or how long they last when they get down to the ground water level where they can be very stable for a long time. I looked up the half-life of imidaclopid, which is the plant systemic poison thought to be the culprit in the problem of massive bee colony collapse/ disappearance). It's half-life range was from 1-4 hours(in water with light), 1 year (in water absent light), to 1-3 years(in soil, aerobic conditions). I couldn't find anything anywhere about half life when in the plant leaves, flowers, fruit, nectar, etc...and I'd guess that information would be kept hidden as much as possible since it would scare people the most. In the case of imidacloprid, it took 30-60 days to spread to all the extremes of a tree.
Lastly, I have to agree with clorpt, these are serious poisons and you can't be casual about using them. We live in a world where cancer and neurological diseases are epidemic, and the producers of these chemicals will say anything to increase their sales. And do their best to hide all negative information about them. You couldn't pay me to eat those blueberries of yours, even a year later if frozen (what a silly idea!)
acephate is an insecticide that is labeled for use on vegetables.
triforine is a fungicide also labeled for use on vegetables.
fenbutatin is an insecticide labeled for use primarily on fruit and nut trees.
These are the only 3 active ingredients in your Ortho Insect and disease control.
The reason your product is not labeled for edibles is that the amount of chemical applied has to be precisely delivered to make sure that not too much gets on the crop. Only licensed applicators can apply a "restricted use" pesticide for that reason.
Since their product is not labeled for edibles then they have to tell you to destroy it after the mistaken application. The label has to be followed exactly or its use is against federal law.
I have years of ag chemical application experience and I would not eat those blueberries, because there is no way to know the exact amount you applied. I would however not destroy the plants. The fruit will be fine next year.
I agree 100% with Drew about glyphosate. A wonderful, stable, and safe product. Dont confuse that with the premixed products that may contain 2-4-d or dicamba or any number of other chemicals.
Garlic chives (not regular chives) repel spider mites in roses. I'm not sure that's the same species, but it is worth a shot if someone feels like trying it, imho. Plant them around the plant you are protecting.
Otherwise, the hose works here -- a strong spray. We're too humid to have them be much of a problem if the beneficial population is doing well, which is related to the insecticide used, too.
Here's an enormous gardening mistake of a sort! Scientists released (or just encouraged the spread of?) a mite that killed only the wild multiflora rose that is so hard to get rid of and was a problem for farmers. Except it doesn't only kill that kind of rose!
Folks have lost entire, historic rose gardens because of that mistake :( The mite kills via a virus, and there's no cure yet. The cure is to dig up every bit of root and burn, because it spreads.
Garlic chives don't work on that kind of mite ;)
I'm so sorry about your blueberries. I'm glad you don't have to replace the plants!
I found that a garlic chive border also cut down on deer grazing. I had a bed of jerusalem artichokes that I planted just for deer grazing and they enjoyed it year after year. I originally had a few left over garlic chives at the bottom of this long thin bed. Over the years those chives spread to make a border around the entire bed and as they spread the grazing diminished each year. I am going to paint round up on the chives as those puppies are like digging out concrete. I like the deer being drawn there (in the upper part of my yard) and to the hosta bar (in the lower part of my yard) as they mostly leave the other plants alone. Of course I have concrete wire cages around fruit trees and anything else I really want to keep safe.

This full-size synthetic kabuki brush has adequate density for picking up powder, but the bristles are far too stiff to make applying it enjoyable. The shape is also problematic: because the stiff bristles are packed so tightly, they don't spread out evenly and instead gather from one side to the other. It's possible that this brush will open up over time, though synthetic bristles don't unfold or wear in the way natural hair bristles do—but for the price it's not much of a gamble.
Wet 'n' Wild At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive, good tinted moisturizer with sunscreen; some attractive bronzing powders; mostly good eyeshadow and lipstick options.
Weaknesses: Unimpressive concealers; large assortment of average to poor eyelining products; the mascaras do little to impress; some lip products suffer from the inclusion of irritants; the makeup brushes.
Wet 'n' Wild is one of the few cosmetics companies around that prides itself on being extraordinarily cheap, although the prices have increased across the board since we last revisited this brand. But don't let its hokey name and pre-teen marketing tactics deter you, because there are some great options available, and the packaging has improved in almost every category. The best-performing products will seem like steals, while the less impressive to horrible products will quickly have you thinking, "you get what you pay for." It is not very often that a line offers such a procession of clear-cut winners and dismal losers, but once you know what to focus on, you won't get soaked by Wet 'n' Wild. This line is available in most major drugstores across the country, and, like most drugstore lines, does not offer testers. Interestingly, the selection of Wet 'n' Wild in Canadian drugstores tends to be better than what U.S. shoppers will find.

What kind of mark will 2015 Bassmaster Classic leave on the record books?
What's different and unusual about the 2015 Bassmaster Classic is who won't be there.
In 2015, for the first time since 1990, Kevin VanDam is not a part of the Classic field.
The first "full" set of fishing cards came out in 1990 when "Big League Bass" put out 60 cards covering most of the big-name pros of the day.
Bryan Kerchal had potential. He had already accomplished the unbelievable. People wanted to see if he was the real deal, if his skills would hold up against the competition — or if he was a fluke.
There are two reasons why I like cold fronts so much. One is about the fishing and other is about the mental side of competition.
Lipless crankbaits are great search baits all year long, but in the fall they're especially strong — not merely for the search process, but also for maximizing your catch once you've located bass.
He's known for being slow and methodical, but the angler they call "The Squirrel" speeds things up in the fall.
They say records are made to be broken, but some -- like Cy Young's 511 Major League wins -- seem destined to last forever. Either way, Rick Clunn's 28 consecutive Bassmaster Classic appearances will be with us for a long, long time.
"I haven't done much fishing the past two years, and some of the times I've been out there it felt like the last place I wanted to be."
