The ABC's of Hydration and Eating for Police Fitness
When to eat and what to eat are constant questions that affect your fitness performance, weight loss / gain goals, as well as overall health. I was recently challenged with a question by email that asked, "What should I eat/drink before, during, and after my workout? My goal is to perform better in my running, swimming, PT test and following spec ... -
Pushups for Time - Pushups to the Extreme!
This week I received a fun email from a former Marine who likes to push himself still and those around him. He writes: Stew, I have been using your workouts to get my pushups up to 100 in 2 minutes (as a Marine we focused on pullups as you know) and got it last week. Now I an thinking of doing ... -
Ten Fitness Commandments for Law Enforcement
Here is a common misconception concerning military as well as law enforcement training programs. Often people show up to day one of the basic training or academy not in any kind of shape to start off on a group run. Many are overweight with de-conditioned muscles and joints that can't handle any physical activity for long periods of time. Here is ... -
Help with Cholesterol: The Do's and Don't's
This week my brother-in-law got a check up as he nears his 40th birthday and was alarmed with elevated cholesterol scores. Knowing he is not the healthiest eater and chooses to get his exercise by playing sports (basketball, volleyball, etc), he asked me what he should eat / not eat and do for better exercise. It is important to know and ... -
SWAT Fitness: Common Denominators of Success
After spending more than a decade helping people become members of Special Operations units in every branch of the military and SWAT Teams in federal / state / local law enforcement agencies, I have seen a few common denominators that spell success, or graduation. Ask "did you think about quitting" to any member of a Special Operations unit in the military ... -
Bodyweight Exercises - Create Your Own Workouts
Calisthenics, or bodyweight exercises, originated thousands of years ago in ancient Greece and have been a major component of fitness in athletics, military, law enforcement, and daily fitness for home workouts without equipment. Here is a request from a Perfect push-up customer seeking to do more exercises without having to go to a gym. A note from a reader: I need ... -
Balance Out Your Pushup Workouts
People who exercise and those who do not, often neglect the upper back and rear shoulder muscles. Life has a way of bowing your upper back and rolling your shoulders forward. In technical terms, we are basically "internally rotated" with the shoulder girdle. Many things in life "internally rotate" us such as driving, sitting at a computer, playing video games, texting, ... -
Cooped Up Inside? Sounds Like You Need Some Workout Ideas
No matter what your situation is, some days you just cannot get outside or to the gym to exercise. Here is a great routine that you can do in your bedroom, hotel room, or whatever keeps you inside. "Hey Stew, I need some help with a quick indoor routine as I am currently stuck inside due to baby, weather, and ... -
Training for an "O-Course" Without Obstacles
Many pre-military and law enforcement recruits who are training for their future training programs often are hit with this problem of not having an obstacle course to train with before departing. Here is an email from a trainee seeking advice on how to pre-train for this issue: I do not have access to an o-course, but would really like to be ... -
Stuck on Pushups? Try the Pushup Push Workout!
Ever since I wrote The Grinder PT – Key to Mental Toughness eBook, I have noticed that the majority of people who attempt one of my toughest workouts I have ever created do quite well on pushups tests upon finishing. This eBook is modeled after the first month of SEAL training, where pushups are done five days a week in the ... -
Pull-Up Tips
This week, getting better at pull-ups is the subject of many people's concern. As with the Pushup-Push Workout (linked below), this idea makes little sense physiologically, but it works. You never want to have an extended period of repeating the same exercises day after day, but you can do this workout for ten days, rest for three or four days of ... -
Fat Reduction Goals and Nutrition Tips
When to eat and what to eat are constant questions that affect your fitness and health goals as well as your weight loss desires.

Need to Lose Weight and Get Fit for the Streets?
Often young men and women ask me about training for the military and police officer professions, but unfortunately most of them (about 60% who email me) have to lose weight in order to meet the minimum requirements for the height and weight / body fat standards. The military refused more than 47,000 people due to not passing the height-weight / body ... -

Beer and Fitness? Can it Be?
I was once asked an interesting question concerning drinking beer and exercising. It seems that a former Navy Radioman had developed quite a gut since retiring, and was curious about whether he should give up his beer to lose weight?

Spruce Up the Workouts With Dumbbell Movements
Many people like to go to the weight room and start performing the standard isolation exercises either using a machine weight system or even free weights. Afterwards, they do a 20-30 minute cycle of cardio vascular exercise. Then, after a normal day of picking up groceries in/out of the car and into the house and some moderate yard work, they find ...

Then again, trying to live down their memorable TV alter egos is nothing new for Savant, 40, and J Leighton, 36, who met as costars on FOX's '90s water-cooler show Melrose Place. (He played gay social worker Matt; she was scheming call girl Sydney.) With Housewives, Savant is experiencing that rare TV feat: a return trip to the water-cooler. "To be on a hit show at any point in your career is a huge blessing—for it to happen twice is nearly unheard of," says Savant. (Leighton wasn't as lucky: Her acclaimed private-detective series Eyes was just dropped by ABC.)
As House-husband Tom Scavo, the harried father of four, Savant has found a role that doesn't require much of a stretch. "Felicity and I are always trying to ground our onscreen relationship in the reality we both know," he says. In fact, says Huffman, "Doug is a much better father than Tom. He's always coming to the set after dropping one kid off or going to the market. He's so excited about the new baby"—a girl, due to arrive next month. "He's always saying that Laura is complaining about how huge she is," says Huffman, "but he says, 'No, I love it.'"
There's plenty of love to go around in the couple's Hollywood household, which includes their son Jack, 4, and Arianna, 13, and Madeline, 11, Savant's daughters by his first wife, with whom he shares joint custody. "We've [already] outsized all normal passenger vehicles," Savant says of their expanding family. The two oldest kids have weighed in with their own concerns. "They're like, Are we going to get a nanny? That's so embarrassing,'" recounts Leighton.
For the record, says Savant, "we've never had nannies." As Leighton explains, "If one of us is working, the other is with the children. We juggle our schedules and cover the gap with babysitters and relatives living nearby."
It's a long way to the burbs from Melrose, where the couple worked together for four years before falling in love. The role of Matt, one of TV's most groundbreaking gay characters, proved hard for Savant to shed. "I took it as a compliment to the work that people believed I was gay," he says. Besides, he adds with a smile, "I scored the hot babe." He and Leighton became an item in 1997 after she and Melrose costar Grant Show broke up and Savant and wife Dawn filed for divorce. "I don't think any of us saw romance coming," says Charles Pratt Jr., a producer on both Melrose and Housewives. "Now it's the most natural thing in the world that they're together. Laura was fascinated with children. When she married Doug [in 1998], he was coming in with a family. So it was perfect."
These days Leighton and Savant keep busy juggling their kids' hectic schedules and preparing for baby—even if their saucy former Melrose reps invite curiosity. "There was a softball game last year," says Savant, "when the parents from the other team looked at us funny and said, 'You guys were on Melrose?'" Adds Leighton: "Some people find it surprising that we just do normal things—driving to games, sitting on the sidelines. What else do you expect? These are our kids. This is what we do."
But if their brood is discouraged from watching Housewives—"It's hard when the other kids at school are allowed to watch it," says Leighton—Melrose reruns get the green light. "They'll go, 'Is that you?'" says Leighton. "They're sort of appalled because they can't believe we were ever slightly younger."

This study follows the psychological profile of a group of Antarctic explorers on a remote base in British Antarctica. Each month for 1 year the 60-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was administered to the 12-man complement and the results compared to those of a control group. Three men resigned and left, 4 months later, at the end of winter. Their scoring showed marked differences from the others, including the highest scores in the severe depression factor scale. The GHQ was accepted by the men despite the intrusive threat it offered in such a small community; there was also a seasonal variation in scoring, with higher scores in the winter, and no evidence of long-term psychological sequelae in those who stayed.

Chillicothe, Iowa [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] Switchgrass is often cited as one of the most promising crops that could be grown in the U.S. for a variety of biomass processes, particularly directed combustion or as a feedstock for a cellulosic-ethanol processing project. For all its hype, there are few actual examples of its use. This week, however, brought news of a successful and promising application of switchgrass crops co-fired with coal.
Environmental Resource Trust's EcoPower program certifies the amount of power generated during the test burn that resulted from a renewable energy source, and allows the project team to market the RECs to companies, government organizations, and/or residential consumers who are willing to pay a small premium to ensure that a portion of their energy purchases go to a renewable power generator.

In the scant months I've subscribed to it, the arXiv blog has served up many interesting and possibly insane bits of scientific speculation. The longest paper it's caused me to read is Michael Dittmar's four-part "The Future of Nuclear Energy", the most recent part of which was published recently.
On the surface the paper is an overview of the state of nuclear power, but an interesting argument quickly forms that the world doesn't have much exploitable uranium left. Here's my summary of the main argument, with extraneous and historical information removed:
The technical problems with breeder reactors can theoretically be overcome with more research. (Dittmar has no hope for commercial fusion.) But, given the long development lead times and the fact that the necessary research isn't being funded right now, by the time they're commercially viable there won't be any tritium to run them on, because of the uranium problem. (Tritium can be generated in a conventional uranium-burning nuclear reactor, but very slowly--and it has a half-life of 12 years.)
I was intrigued by this analysis, because I always think a claim that some data set is wrong or has been misinterpreted is interesting. But because it's such a seductive narrative I also wanted to look at a high-quality response to Dittmar's claims. Any problems with the logic aside, there are a couple problems with Dittmar's presentation that give bad smells:
So I was on the market, and happy this morning when I saw that Paul Raven posted about Dittmar's paper on Futurismic today, and linked to this 2008 post on the Wall Street Journal environmental weblog. That weblog post dismisses contemporaneous "peak uranium" concerns by... citing the IAEA Red Book data. But the main point of Dittmar's paper is that the Red Book data is unreliable!
In desperation, I turned to the comment section on the original arXiv blog posting, hoping that there would at least be people arguing over the paper instead of just quoting the Red Book. Well, there was a lot of irrelevant arguing (fair enough, since there's a lot of irrelevant points in Dittmar's paper), but below is a rough classification of the relevant rebuttals:
OK, so after colliding thesis and antithesis in my Hegelian particle accelerator, I've come to the following tenative conclusions:
"Why do I have to solve X, Y, and Z? It's hard enough getting funding for K. Let someone else do it. You jerk."
The problem according to Dittmar is that these problems will get solved serially over the course of 30 years and then we'll spend 15 years building a power plant and by that time the tritium will have decayed. The timing here depends on the question of how much uranium there really is, but the general argument is that with more funding and more physicists we could solve X, Y, and Z in parallel with K.
So there's something here, but it doesn't seem like a bombshell. Basically, the Red Book numbers are inaccurate and vague in many different ways, but used in policy arguments as though they were very accurate, because they're the only game in town. It's possible the numbers are so far off the mark that there will be a uranium price shock in 2013, but it seems pretty unlikely.
I'm interested in hearing the opinions of those who know more about these topics.
"Even if you solve problem K, how are you going to solve X, Y, and Z to make your reactor capable of 90% uptime in a commercial setting?"

My impression was the concerns about "peak uranium" were not very credible. Here is a random probably-biased webpage laying out the argument: http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf75.htmlI don't know how to find trustable authorities on this topic, but the basic argument seems way more plausible than most shill rhetoric. The important difference between uranium and fossil fuels is that uranium is *ridiculously* energy dense. You can power a city with a few tons, or whatever. That means that sure, extracting uranium from poor ores like, say... seawater... is certainly not economically viable right now -- but that's not the interesting question. The interesting question is whether you can get net positive energy output, and AFAICT the answer is yes.Combined with that is that -- I'm told -- everyone stopped prospecting for new uranium when the cold war ended and old nukes flooded the market; it's not like oil, where we've searched *very very hard* and still aren't finding any new deposits.Like I said, though, I have no idea how to figure out which sources are actually real; just, the arguments above seem to me to make more scientific sense than anything I've heard coming from, say, the "wind and solar and magic energy distribution and storage systems will cover baseline load!" people.
Posted by Kevin Mark at Fri Nov 20 2009 03:40
So raw unprocessed uranium is far less abundant that oil and it will be depleted sooner. And at present, most of the raw unprocessed uranium is processed and converted into nuclear fuel that is mostly used in power generation and some into weapons. At some point, the nations holding these weapons will have to determine if they want to keep the weapons for protection or reuse the fuel for power generation. This seems like a possible future where there will be no nuclear weapons by shear necessity for power or other non-military uses.

Low voltage differential dual receiver

Apr 18, 1997
serial no -
status (Note)
A low-voltage differential dual receiver for a SCSI bus uses a symmetrical driver by doing without a termination bias voltage. The data phase and protocol phase of SCSI communication are separated by using two receivers and optimizing each receiver for its particular function. A high-speed receiver is used when transmitting data at high-speeds, and a lower performance, low-speed receiver is used for other SCSI phases. A built-in offset allows the low-speed receiver to operate correctly during bus arbitration. The built-in offset in the low-speed receiver takes the place of the termination bias voltage in a traditional SCSI bus and is implemented in a variety of ways. In a first embodiment, an N-well generation circuit produces a bulk voltage for one transistor of the differential transistor pair that is different than a supply voltage supplied to the bulk of the other transistor. In a second embodiment, each of the transistors of the pair is implanted with a different dosage to change the threshold voltage for each. In a third embodiment, resistors of different sizes are attached to the source of each transistor in the pair in order to produce a different voltage at each source. In a fourth embodiment, two replica comparators are used to monitor an offset voltage of the differential receiver and to send control signals to an adjustable current source. The current source is adjusted by having an up-down counter switch on and off various legs of the current source.

Ready to go on a safari? Enter into the savanna in your safari jeep and go west, where the safari buses park. See the last green flag? See the turn in the fence? Good job, you're on the right track.
Now park your safari jeep and walk the rest on foot. To see the animals, you have to be quiet! Tip toe along the grass covered path, until you see a "no hunting" sign. Ignore this, and keep hunting for your prize. Count five silver man made "trees" on your left. They have no leaves because Twiga got hungry. Look right, do you see the elephant trunk? Sneak up and look inside to find another animal.

@Ron – this is why baseball is dead to me. I don't give a crap about the Yankmees or the Dead Sox so why even care? Besides I wouldn't worry about some deranged Yankmee fan says. They have deluded themselves for so long to try to feel they "earned" all those championships and that all the teams can spend like they do if they want that they aren't rational anymore. They must feel like the team that always plays the "Little Sisters of the Poor" or the "Home For Wayward Girls" and try to feel good about themselves.

Allison Wolfe (born November 9, 1969) is a Washington, DC-based singer, songwriter, and zine writer who has been the lead vocalist for several punk rock groups including Bratmobile and Partyline.
Allison Wolfe and her sister Cindy were born identical twins in Memphis, Tennessee, on November 9, 1969. Together with their sister Molly, they grew up in Olympia, Washington. Their parents divorced when they were all still young children, and they were raised by their mother, Pat Shively. A radical feminist and self-described lesbian,[1] Shively founded Olympia's Eastside Women's Health Clinic in 1981.[2] It was the first women's clinic in Thurston County,[1] and throughout Shively's two decades of work it was the target of relentless anti-abortion demonstrations.[2] The protests could be harrowing: Wolfe's mother endured verbal and physical abuse, and death threats forced her to go to the clinic armed and wearing a bulletproof vest.[2] (The EWHC was razed in a fire in 2005, set by a still-unidentified arsonist.)[2] Pat Shively died of ovarian cancer in February, 2000,[2] and Wolfe credits her as being a lifelong influence, a feminist role model "almost too big to live up to."[1]
In 1988, Wolfe spent time as an exchange student in Thailand's Krathum Baen District. She returned to attend Evergreen State College in Olympia, and later the University of Oregon at Eugene.
At the University of Oregon, Allison met Molly Neuman and together they pieced together essays, photos, drawings, and other creations into a single digest. The resulting Girl Germs was self-published through several issues in 1991 amid a flowering of Olympia zines, many of them produced by Wolfe's friends and companions. Contributors to Girl Germs included Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail who authored their own zines, Jigsaw and Bikini Kill. Despite amateur production and scarcity, these zines quickly achieved a near-legendary status among their audience. They were deeply representative of the growing community of feminist punk rockers which has often been termed by the title of another Wolfe-Neuman zine, a weekly compendium they called Riot Grrrl.[3]
Wolfe and Neuman took the themes of their zines to music. Like Hanna and Vail who reappropriated the name Bikini Kill for their own band, Wolfe and Neuman joined with guitarist Erin Smith to form their own, Bratmobile, in 1991.[3] Both bands recorded for Kill Rock Stars, an Olympia-based independent label. Bratmobile released their first full-length album, Pottymouth, in 1992.
After Bratmobile ended in a disturbing onstage breakup in New York City in 1994,[1] Wolfe and Smith eventually reunited to form Cold Cold Hearts with an expanded rhythm section provided by drummer Katherine Brown and bassist "Nattles". The band toured extensively and released one self-titled album in 1997. Wolfe later sang with Deep Lust, her first band with male musicians which she lightheartedly describes as "my boy band".[1] Deep Lust also toured and released one self-titled album on Kill Rock Stars in 2000.
Bratmobile reformed in 1999 and released two more albums, Ladies, Women and Girls (2000) and Girls Get Busy (2002).
Wolfe started a Washington D.C. based band, Partyline, in 2004. The band released two full-length albums, Girls With Glasses (2005) and Zombie Terrorist (2006).
Wolfe remains involved in what she terms "cultural activism", not only with Partyline, but also with the bands Dig Yr Grave, Deep Lust, Hawnay Troof and its offshoot, Baby Truth. She also initiated Ladyfest and has been involved in Bands Against Bush. Allison did the English adaption for Nana, a punk rock-themed manga series.[4] She also occasionally writes cultural arts pieces for the Washington Post.[5] Allison currently lives in Echo Park, Los Angeles, and sings for two bands respectively called Cool Moms and Sex Stains.

New diabetic driving rules

In July last year, I received a letter from the DVLA which stated "We have received information from the police". The letter went on to say that as a result of that information they "now needed to make confidential enquiries about my medical fitness to drive".
I was required to arrange and undertake an eye test. The letter explained that if I failed to arrange this within 21 days, my licence may have to be revoked. So, I complied.
After much to-ing and fro-ing I was in due course advised that my licence was revoked from 10th November.
Following receipt of the original letter I have asked the DVLA for some or all of the following,
- the date time and place of the incident
- Which police station was involved
- The identity of the officer(s) concerned
- What was the incident
All to no avail. The DVLA's response was simply that they "require me to complete the questionnaire" and return it but how could I? I was being asked to comment on something which may, or may not have been serious enough to call an incident and which happened at some time at some mysterious location and may or may not have been witnessed by a police officer whose location and identity the DVLA were refusing to disclose.
The way in which the DVLA has handled this matter is extremely questionable, especially as the police have, as yet, found no trace of any such report, but this will be the subject of further correspondence.

HondMan If it is any consolation you will probably find it cheaper to take taxi's everywhere you go (as long as it is local journeys) than pay the upkeep of a vehicle. Reading what the AA and RAC etc., say about the annual upkeep of a vehicle makes horrendous reading.

Trawling the DVLA web site- medical requiremets etc says quite clearly diabetes is of itself not notifyable if diet and/or tablet managed
They do say that combinatios of non notifyable conditios may alter this.
On the general theme I wondetr if this yet another spoof from places east of calais

Undercover Bra
By Loren Stein
LIKE MOST breast-bearers, Biter has spent most of our adult life trying, in vain, to find the perfect bra. A bra that doesn't grab like a high school boy, pinch like a perverted uncle, ride up like an inappropriate sidekick or fall down like a drunk. A bra that does the job God intended, yet feels like it isn't there. From the moment Biter sprouted breasts, bras were a form of bondage, an exquisite and baffling torture that came with the territory of being female.
According to a standard industry quote that's been used for a zillion years, seven out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra. If this is to be believed, how can so many women be in the dark about something so essential to their sense of well-being? Is it that they don't know how to find the right bra or that the right bras aren't out there? "It just enrages me," says a frustrated consumer. "I go into Victoria's Secret, and there's nothing there for me, and the whole place is bras. How can that be?"
Biter went undercover to get to the nub of the problem. We buried our pride, deep-sixed our modesty and made an appointment for a professional bra fitting at Macy's. Soon we were facing the dreaded three-way mirror, stripped from the waist up, getting scrutinized by a mercifully kind rep from the Warnaco Group, a leading manufacturer of bras in the United States that owns both the Olga and Warner's brands.
"I see women all the time who are wearing the same bra they had in college or even high school," sighs the rep. Most women need to have their hands held on the quest to find good bras, she says. They don't know where to start, and they don't want to invest the time and effort it takes to narrow down their choices. In her experience, some women resist because they don't want to find out they need a larger size bra. This puzzles Biter, as the culture is besotted with big breasts. "I had my breasts enlarged," she volunteers. "It was the best thing I ever did. I had little flea bites."
"Bras are all about women's attitudes," says Joyce Baran, a 38-year veteran bra designer ("Bras are my life," she jokes) and vice president of creative design for Warnaco in New York. "I've seen it go in every direction: from burning bras in the '60s to pushing them up in the '90s. It's all about your outward appearance and the way you present yourself to the world."
Persona issues aside, the only way to find the right size bra, says Baran, is to do it the old-fashioned way: get measured and fitted and then try a ton on. "To fit a bra correctly is a complicated and precise task," she says, "and because it's so personal and intimate, it's a painful, even traumatic thing for many women."
It certainly has been for Biter. Just walking into a department store and confronting racks upon racks of every conceivable style of bra--seamless, seamed, padded, natural, full figure, demi, soft cup, foam lined, inside underwire, outside underwire, strapless, racer-back, customizable, front close, back close, minimizer, push-up, sports bras and more, in assorted colors and varied fabrics--is enough to send us into apoplexy.
About $4.5 billion worth of bras were sold in the United States last year alone. That's a whole lot of bras. Yet nearly every woman we know has a deeply uneasy or at least unsettled relationship with this particular lingerie item. "I'm so disillusioned by the whole bra scene," says a 32-year-old San Jose working bra- wearer. "As soon as I solve one problem there's another one."
While having more choices is daunting, at least women these days have the luxury of making their own way, however confusedly, through the bra thicket and not having the decision imposed upon them by some rigid code of femaleness. In the '50s and early '60s, there were strict rules about how women could look (like no pants, like girdles), says bra-maker Baran, and bombshell bras reigned. In the '70s and '80s, as women entered the workforce in greater numbers, women camouflaged their femininity and bras were simple and minimized. "Now women are using fashion as their personality statement," she says. "We design back into all those different attitudes."
But what Biter really wants to know is this: Can't they come up with a more elegant, comfortable solution to sheltering breasts? Is this back-bruising, metal-against-skin, shoulder-gouging device really the best we can do? "I wish I could find a better way," says Baran. "In the immediate future, I just don't see it."

American Idol Results – Stephanie Edwards Eliminated
March 21, 2007 08:38 PM by Joe Reality
After a recap of the American Idol top eleven performance show, Peter
Noone performed "There's A Kind Of Hush." For the Ford music video,
the American Idol finalists performed "Another Saturday Night."
After a skit involving Brad Garrett from "Til Death," host Ryan Seacrest asked Phil Stacey, Melinda Doolittle, and Blake Lewis to stand up. Seacrest told them that they were not the bottom three tonight. Next, Seacrest asked Chris Sligh, Lakisha Jones, and Jordin Sparks to stand up and also told them that they were not the bottom three.
Next, Seacrest asked Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato, and Gina Glocksen to stand up and told them that they were not the bottom three. Finally, Seacrest told Chris Richardson and Stephanie Edwards to stand up and told them that they were in fact the bottom two tonight.
After Ryan Seacrest made an appeal to corporate America to take part in Idol Gives Back, Lulu performed "To Sir With Love." After Lulu's performance, Stephanie Edwards and Chris Richardson joined Ryan Seacrest on center stage. Seacrest announced that after 30 million votes Chris Richardson would be staying. Stephanie Edwards was eliminated from American Idol.

March 21st, 2007 at 8:44 pmim sorry this might sound rude as a canadain but Americans are stupid idiots!!! why is all teh talent leaving andin return sanjaya is there? he should be out but america's not doing anything. PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG AND VOTE SANJAYA OUT
Lindsey Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:00 pmI'm not an idiot,but I see your point.I was really tired last night,so I didn't vote at all.I'm sorry!Anyway,poor Staphanie shouldn't have went home,not only is she a great singer,but I thought that she would make a great edition to the tour.So guess who I'm mad at? 1.I'm mad at American for this crappy bottom 2.Chris and Steph shouldn't have been in the bottom,after those great edgy performances.People who thought that Sanjaya was better then Steph and Chris need to get their ears checked. 2.Sanjaya wasn't anywhere near as better then Sundance,and he stayed.Sanjaya NEEDS to go home.He's now 4 weeks overdue to go home. 3.I never liked Votefortheworst,for specific reasons,and now I hate them TWICE as more than I used to.
American please get it right and SEND SANJAYA HOME! -
W Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:05 pmThis isn't a fun show to watch anymore. It's not a singing contest it has turned into a joke. It's like a really bad soap; I watch it every week but I can't figure out why because the whole time I sit there I count down how much time is left before it's over.
Anonymous Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:09 pmNot all Americans are idiots so you better shut up. I guess we can call you all druggies up there. Like it?
Anyways, it doesn't surprise me that Sanjaya is still in the competition. After all, he was one of the best perfomers last night. He gained the spot.
Anonymous Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:10 pmWhy was Stephanie sent home? She had one of the best vocal ranges on the show…
BHCampbell Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:15 pmWhat kind of magic does Sanjaya have over preteen girls? or America for that matter? While I live in America, and have been watching Idol….I have to agree Sanjaya has nice hair, his vocals are okay, but hair and okay vocals don't sell albums, opps, wait I forgot about Leif Garrett. Anyway, there is either something very strange going on with the agency running the voting process OR the only ones who are really voting are voting with their girly emotions and not with their ears.
Jessica Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:16 pmwho ever wrote this called "Stephanie Edwards" , "STEPHANIE RICHARDS" …. 2nd to last paragraph . . . "Next, Seacrest asked Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato, and Gina Glocksen to stand up and told them that they were not the bottom three. Finally, Seacrest told Chris Richardson and Stephanie Richards to stand up and told them that they were in fact the bottom two tonight."

March 21st, 2007 at 9:19 pmyou americans are fuckin idiots for keeping that gay indian or whatever he is
Trinitee Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:19 pmAmerica is obviously DEAF! It's absolutely insane that one of the top 5 singers in the competition should be sent home so soon. Oh well they sent Jennifer Hudson home too. So all is not lost for Stephanie, we'll be hearing much more of her in time to come. Can't say that about more than half of the others who are still left.
Ruth A Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:23 pmThis is the first time I have really watched American Idol (the whole season)and …truthfully I am disappointed. I dont know who is behind keeping the weak singers on and letting TALENT go home. I am beginning to wonder if there is a computer out there some where that is casting votes through the internet because the last four weeks have been so off course from what should have happened. There are two singers that should be going home and not because they aren't trying but because they need more work…sorry Haley and Shanjayi…this show isnt working for me…it is a mockery of talented singers and the show itself. Casting votes for a weak singer doesn't help them and makes this season unenjoyable to watch.
TheDerf Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:25 pmI liked American Idiot when it was a singing competition, but now it's just a joke. Sanjaya should be the mascott for American Idol- He sucks as much as the show! Last week was the last time I'll watch it this season. I think next week I'll set my computer to vote for Sanjaya for the entire two hours.
Suz Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:27 pmI agree with Lindsey, this is not fun to watch anymore. Whoever is out there voting for Sanjaya have got to be doing it to screw up the whole deal. He is soooo bad it hurts to watch. and the smart mouth "W" everyone knows he has not gained the spot legitimately. Voters are "stuffing" the box so to speak. Idol needs to limit calls from the same phone to 1 or 2; then these idiots voting for Sanjaya won't be able to do they are doing. It really isn't fair.
crystal palmer Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:28 pmI must say I am AMERICAN and I think Sanjaya needs to go home he is NOT A GOOD singer in fact his sister was better. I think Stephanih should of stayed on. And personnally I vote for LAKIESHA so I do not care. But Sanjaya GO HOME you suck and by the way hey simon paula randy !!!!!!!!!!!NEXT WEEK SANJAYA WILL GO HOME I PROMISE!
Brian Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:29 pmI cannot understand why Sanjaya is still on there. This show is turning into a popularity contest not a singing competition. I have voted for Stephanie since the beginning since she is one of the top 5 on the show. They need a new voting system or something because this is not cutting it.
T. Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:29 pmYes in this case I agree that Americans are stupid idiots and you can get offended if you like!! That would prove how stupid you are especially if you voted for Sanjaya!!! Sanjaya sucked from day one. He sounded just OK and got WORSE WORSE WORSE!! Not everyone who can carry a tune can be a star. Sanjaya is definitely NOT a star!!!! And I would hate to hear him on tour! He didn't earn his spot he screamed a song out and you idiots bought it!! HAHAHA!!! NO ONE WAS WORSE THAT HIM!!!!!
Suz Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:29 pmEXCUSE me, I am an idiot I referred to Lindsey and W without realizing the names are posted "under the comment" So let it stand as an agreement with Lindsey
Nuel S. Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:30 pmPeople who hate Sanjaya have to remember this is about being an idol. He got charisma how many well know singers are really can sing? lots of them but still part of america embrace them… it not just about singing its combination of every little thing. Actually if you open the voting overseas….the whole of India will vote and make him the AI winner. What is the proof? Remember the name Yao Ming, even on injured list for a long time and since China is allowed to vote… guess what? All Star for not even playing??? So just watch and enjoy the show its about entertainment…if not just click you tv off and miss the fun. On the first place it shows what America is all about… They love UNDERDOG!!!!! Love cinderella story….My avorite since the the first audition?? JORDIN…..
Anonymous Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:30 pmToo many diva's that is all- they are splitting the fan base- some people don't like that type and won't vote on them no matter what.
Linda Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:30 pmSanjaya and Haley should have been the first ones to leave American Idol. Neither have any outstanding talent. Sanjaya is a total joke as far as talent is concerned. I think it is an insult to the rest for him being in the top ten. I think he should take it upon himself and leave the show. The only ones that are voting for him are the teenie boppers and just think he is cute. Let's get real. American Idol is to be judged for the person who has the most talent and Sanjaya is way out in left field. He does not have a good voice and I do not know how he even made it to Hollywood. GO HOME SANJAYA, YOU DO NOT BELONG ON AMERICAN IDOL.
Annie Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:31 pmSanjaya is amazing. He is the best singer on the show. I love him so much that I think we should go ahead and kick him off twice. Since I didn't vote, I have no right to complain about the bottom two. But I will give my opinion. Anyone who actually believes that Sanjaya is a good performer, and wastes two hours of their life dialing his number over and over again deserves to be locked in a room with performances of Nikki McKibbon and Kevin Covais set on repeat.
sheri Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:32 pmThe only reason sanjaya is still around is because of that stupid web site asking people to vote for the worst. Why ruin something for everyone else. If you have a problem with the show don't watch it. Whoever made the Vote for the worst website probably tried out for American Idol and sucked and did not make it, so that must be why their ruining a good show.
C.MORGAN Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:33 pmSEND SANJAYA PACKING. lAKESHA UR IN .i VOTED 62 TIMES SHE WILL WIN
Dee Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:33 pmI just want to know why Sanjaya is still on. For some strange reason the better singers are being kicked off one at a time and the worst one is still there. What happens if Sanjaya ends up winning. Will someone finally say "whats going on, he shouldn't of won". What happened to this being a singing competition. It looks like a fashion/looks competition now. Instead of commenting on vocals they are talking about their clothes and hair. Come on, when is the singing competition going to start.
tina Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:34 pmAMERICAN IDOL……HAS LOST THEIR FREAKING MINDS.. TO VOTE OFF TALENT AND ALLOW A JOKE LIKE WHATS HIS NAME TO STAY ON… YES… WE HAVE LOST OUR MINDS…..
Suz Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:35 pmWhy has this turned into a hate America/Canadian bash? For your informotion "idiots" Canada is in America – North American. Perhaps you mean the United States. "Americans didn't vote for the Indian; something else is going on. Crazy people thinking it is a joke voting for the worst singer. As I said earlier. Idol has to change the voting system to a limited number of calls per person or phone.
no one you know Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:37 pmits called 'Vote For the Worst' and they do this EVERY YEAR. This year they picked Sanjaya.
Thanks for joining us.
sheri Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:39 pmEveryone keeps asking why is sanjaya still on. The answer is because of the stupid websit called "vote for the worst" it's asking people to vote for sanjaya to keep him on. Howard Stern is even voting and behind the website. It's not the American Idol show keeping him on.
Tony Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:45 pmWhy should I be surprised that Stephanie got voted off.This are the the same Americans that elected george W Bush.
Tina Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:51 pmOkay, It is not very Canadian to be a racist homophobe. I don't agree that Stephanie was the worst but Sanjaya could be better than he has been. Personally, I think Haley and Gina should be gone. Melinda and Blake are the best!!
Anonymous Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:52 pmHey guys: Stop crying. It's a TV show . Get over it.
By the way, notice this:
First group safe: Melinda, Blake, Jordin
Second group safe: Lakisha, Chris S, Phil
Third group safe: Sanjaya, Haley, Gina
Bottom Two: Chris R, StephanieSeems like these are grouped purposefully. The first group got the most votes (1-3), the second the next most (4-6), and so forth.

Sarah Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 9:58 pmSanjaya is just as talented as most of the other no talents in the group. He is entertaining and one of the only reasons to watch the contrived show.
sketter Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:00 pmAMERICAN IDOL IS NOT A SINGING CONTEST THIS YEAR, IT IS A LET'S MAKE SIMON AND THE REST OF THE WORLD MAD CONTEST. THIS IS THE END OF IDOL FOR ME AFTER THIS SEASON IS OVER, AMERICAN IDOL YOU ARE DONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD. THE REAL WINNER IS GOING TO WIN NO MATTER HOW THEY FLIP THE VOTE'S. BECAUSE RIGHT OVER RULES WRONG.
Penny Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:01 pmIf Blake throws in one more of his "spit bot" crap or whatever you want to call it, into his songs one more time….I'm going tooo, why I adaaaaa…he is driving me crazey…knock it off already Blake! As far as Sanjaya…the more people pick on him and criticize him, the more people are going to feel sorry for him a give him pity votes. I can't believe Chris R was in the bottom two…that is totally screwed up…hope we F'd up Americans can get it rigth next week.
cobbi Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:01 pmI think people vote for the week's performances of the contestants but since they thought the Indian did better than his pervious weeks so they voted for him. And to those who are complying to this VFTW site can be called stupids or idiots. Maybe they see themselves to these weak and less talented contestants, say they are frustrated singers, too.
Ian Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:02 pmHey all. I am proud to vote for Sanjaya. He is entertaining and this is not just a singing contest but a contest for the best entertainer. On top of it all, the show is a bunch of bull anyway, so who really cares.
Suzieq Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:02 pmPotty mouth Jessica – you need to get some manners. How homophobic can you be?
Penny Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:06 pmI would like American Idol be judged by the 3 same judges, but get rid of the call in votes for ONE year as a test, and have actual MULTIPLE industry people vote from a box each week. You know, have like 50 industry people like musicians, singers, producers, etc… judge and vote their peers in and out. They can have American voters vote for the FINAL two and let them choose in the end…I think that would be a more realistic contest.
Annie Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:07 pmHey…whoever said that they voted for Sanjaya because they were entertaining, I have to agree with you. I laughed until tears ran down my face over his performance last night. It must have been entertaining if I could laugh until I was blue in the face.
Penny Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:10 pmWhats with the racist remarks about Sanjaya? That is pretty bad, remarks like that do not get you any points in most peoples eyes. Calling him the "Indian", etc… not cool!

Jack Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:12 pmI got a good laugh out of the Canadian calling Americans idiots while he watches the show and contemplates it's sickening side like everybody here in America does. And I wish they would lay off that Jennifer Hudson baloney. She was voted off the show and didn't continue singing. Instead she tried acting and that worked out. If she hadn't been voted off the show she may have made 3rd place and then would be stuck in some dead end career as a "good" but not great singer. Except for Kelly Clarkson and a couple of other Idol winners—the rest have made a few dollars but not the fame that they had really went after. What happened to Taylor Hicks? Taylor who???
Casey Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:12 pmSanjaya is on because he has beautiful hair and tries to sound like Michael Jackson. Please give it a rest, LaKisha will win and Sanjaya will be off in due time. Just hope that due time is next week!!!!
Matthew Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:16 pmTo Sarah:
Are you crazy? Are we seriously watching the same show? Instead of singing, Sanjaya screamed the song. There is no point for him to be on a talent show. You have to have at least some talent to be on the show. Obviously the judges and America made a grave mistake in letting Sanjaya be allowed the pleasure of being on American Idol.
Annie Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 10:17 pmEven though the contestants that do not belong on the show will be voted off eventually, it really irritates me that "singers" like Haley and Sanjaya will be touring the country, and that hard-working people will be throwing away their money to suffer through mediocre performances, over those that are perhaps more deserving, such as Sabrina, Sundance, and Brandon.

March 21st, 2007 at 10:53 pmSanjuya needs to go home along with Gina, but Stephanie wasn't any good either. No big deal that she is gone.
mr showbiz Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 11:23 pmYou people still don't get it do you. It's not a singing competition. It's about the person who is voting and what an Idol means to them. That can be a certain star quality, a look, the most potential to sell albums and music videos, and yes singing. But it's not ONLY singing. I agree Sanjya (bad spelling) is terrible. But he has a large base of dedicated whatever's voting for him. Actualy Stephanie was the worst performance last night and desreved to go. Sanjya should have gone the last three times, and he was bad again last night, but unfortuately Stephanie was worse. Lakisha better watch her performances. Last night was not very good for her and I now believe she won't make the final two. That just may be Melinda and Jordin. Melinda will win but what the heck can you do with her as an Idol! This is one sorry lot this year. Absolutely the worst year they've had. I struggle to watch it although last night's performances were the best yet this year.
Char Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 11:27 pmI can say that I was surprised by the bottom two but I can understand why stephanie got voted off. American Idol is about finding new faces. As much as Stephanie finds being compared to Beyonce a great thing, which anyone would, I found her too much like her to be considered an original. I never understood Sanjaya's fame BUT if he can make little girls feel the way the one little girl did that night, isn't that a beautiful thing?!
Matthew Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 11:46 pmHere is the bitter truth.
The judges DIDNT want Stephanie to go home. That's for sure.
But they are to blame to be honest with you.
Even though they know that Sanjaya is not a great singer, they put him through to the 24 anyway.
They cant even say it is their first time theyve done this (Kevin Covais).
And trust me, there are definitely people who were better than Sanjaya who were cut before the 24.
As long as crappy people are let through by the three of them, those crappy people will essentially ruin the show.
And as much as I love her, Stephanie, while her elimination was premature, was not a really shocking elimination.
rin Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:02 ami totally agreed that stephanie should be the one to go home.I've predicted ever since her performance last night.It was pitchy all over the place & at times was not in tune..It's been several weeks her pitching was like that.Maybe u guy not noticed @ can't hear clearly.She's even more tried to sounds like Beyonce from her 1st performance. For all of u guys out there who thought Haley & Sanjaya didn't have the best voice out of the competition, ya maybe u r right,they don't have "it" but based on last night performance,they deserved to stay for at least 1 more week.But I'm prety shocked that Chris Richardson was in the bottom 2.His performance was so awesome & touched me in some way.I'm rooting for him & Blake cos both of them r different, unique & original & most importantly have the x-factor.Hopefully u guys seeing that & vote for them.Pity that i can't vote for them as I live outside of US.
Tim Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 amChris R in the Bottom 2? That was a surprise no one expected. It seems the teen votes are now between Sanjaya and Jordin, and the Southern votes are between Haley and Phil.
me Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:44 amOkay, it TOTALLY sucks that Stephanie went home… but let's face it… she was probably going to go home eventually given that Melinda, Jordan and Lakisha are such powerhouses. She just didn't have enough buzz or stand out enough in such a competitive crowd. However, in another year, I think Stephanie could have won it. It sucks, but she was bound to go eventually. Four amazing girls…only one can win.
Tim Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:46 amP.S. Americans are NOT idiots.

hammer Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:52 amOh my God, America…. why is Sanjaya still on the show? I can admit that his performance last night is a little better than his previous performances, but come on…he was still the worse among the 11 who performed last night.
Chris in the bottom 2 with Stephanie? America…I am disappointed.
tom Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:52 amRACISM ALL TOGETHER. PURE AND SIMPLE. stephanie had no business going home. her voice is tens times better than chris,haley, the bald head guy, even blake, let alone sanjaya. and shes the one that gets sent home. c'mon this is like when fantasia, jennifer hudson and latoya were in the bottom three

WAKE UP OR SHALL I SAY TAKE A BUSINESS MAJOR… THIS IS ABOUT BUSINESS… GOT TO KEEP THAT OIL WELL GUSHING MAY I SAY…. SANJAYA ROCK IT LAST NIGHT AND PEOPLE LIKE IT!!! SO FOR THE WHINER… BUT 10 BOXES OF TISSUE YOU WILL NNED IT FOR A WHILE…
Jacob Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 3:21 amI think some people are afraid to not vote for Sanjaya because he is Indian.
Wayne Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 3:53 amI THINK that stephanie and chris should not be in the bottom two. There are a lot worst performance than those two.I Think that Sanjaya should be going home.I think that we should have the voteforgoodandbestperformance.com…
People's Voice Says:

March 22nd, 2007 at 5:55 amI'm very sad for this result!!!
Why a good singer eliminated but a lousy boy still there???
Stephanie is much better than Sanjaya!!!
I dislike sanjaya at all. He should be the one elimated!!!!!
And Chris Richardson shouldn't be in the bottom 2 actually!!!
Chris.R did an amazing job last night..
Why Chris.R in the bottom 2??? I don't get it at all!!!!
American should vote to the good singer, not a lousy singer!!!! -
Anonymous Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 6:12 amI like Stephanie vey much. I think she has a great voice and a great personality. However, this week's category just didn't work out for her. I also had her leaving by the end of Tues. night's show.
Anonymous Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 6:50 amWhy are some people suprised Stephanie was eliminated? If you go back to the boards after the Tuesday night performances, there were hundreds of post about Stephanie not having a good performance. Many were saying she was the one going home on Wednesday.
Mary Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 8:04 amLISTEN:
It's not difficult to understand why Sanjaya would make it to the Top 10 –
The TOUR !
Look how they made a big deal of the young girl crying for him – AI knows Sanjaya on the tour will SELL TOUR TICKETS!
Now that he is on the tour – he'll get voted out.
That said … I actually like him. He has talent! .. but he's just not as mature and LOUD as the others. Calm down … he won't win …
Every year … EVERY year …. there has been this controversy over a contestant – this year it's Sanjaya (poor Sanjaya) – and controversy = ratings. That's all.
dejal Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 8:54 am"Why should I be surprised that Stephanie got voted off.This are the the same Americans that elected george W Bush."
Good god!!
Sheri, get an education before typing. "This are the the"
I'll write this is in a way that you small brain will understand:
U am not a no gud tyypis.
Craig Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 9:05 amFirst off, give up this nationalism on here. I am from Canada and while mistakes were definitely made by America, we are not immune to them up here either.
Anyway, I think it was disastrous to see Sanjaya get this far. I agree it is all about getting the teenyboppers out to the tour, something Stephanie (supposedly) could not. However, many of my favorites are long gone, so he can't get all the blame. A second tour for everyone else is really needed.
Stewart Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 10:16 amI been reading the comment. I agree this is all for TV. Simone somewhat help this. They know he not going to win. and it is for publicity, and the media. SanJaya is getting famous off us because we are so angry that he is still there. If you notice the first 3 week the judges diss him bad and when the final 10 came around Randy and Paula gave him good praise. They wanted him in the top 10. Now next week they going to bash him again. American see where this is going. They was not going to let 4 black diva go on tour and have one 1 girl. Yes he should have been gone, so calm down eventually they all will be eliminated except for one. So americna take a break. I have heard worst before SanJaya and he not that bad.
MDDeeva Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 11:33 amI agree with Lindsey also…This is no longer a fun show to watch-Hell, it's not even funny anymore-But I'm sure the folks that auditioned to be on American Idol and were made fun of for all to see are having a real good laugh now. Funny how Simon, seemingly the most popular and influential judge, is sadly contributing to some of the drama. I believe he helped to orchestrate Stephanie's removal. Stephanie has the voice, the stage presence, and the talent;She will be a star-guaranteed. Seems like once Haley, formely the underdog, starting wearing less clothing, she took the focus off of her lackluster voice-But nothing is worse than watching Sanjaya remain-And as far as the little love sick girl fan's tears, she cried for everybody that sang-But notice how the cameramen were instructed to constantly zoom in on her while Sanjaya was performing-What was that all about???
Don Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 11:37 amYou know at this point I'm not going to be dissapointed at all anymore if Sanjaya doesn't get voted off; just as long as Melinda, Jordin, and Lakeisha stay in it til the final three, and never have to make any trips to the bottom three. That's all I can hope for at this point because this competition this year is OUT OF CONTROL! Go Melinda, Jordin, and Lakeisha!
But please Lakeisha don't get back on that stage looking like you did tuesday night. Just a mess. -
Francesca Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 1:14 pmDid you guys notice how hot Chris R was? his bulging biceps… puppy dog eyes… yummm…. I am so in love… AI is not just a singing competition. If it is, it should just be broadcasted on radio. Contestants are judged by (1) their appeareance; (2) their singing – vocal and song selection; (3) their character. Then there is the "hometown" factor: many vote for the contestant from their county / state.
Stephanie is a good singer, but last week she didn't perform well. She chose a song that didn't suit her vocal range.
Gina wasn't good either, but she has the look, she is unique, and she has such an adorable character.Chris R in bottom 2???? That was a surprise. But I'm glad he made it through.
Go Chris R, Go!!!! I love (lust) you.
me Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 1:25 pmLOL to TOM who says this is racism. How did Reuben and Fantasia win, oh brilliant one?
Racism…yeah. People who cry racism in these situations keep America from progressing to be all it can be. Wake up. It's reality TV…Stephanie was never going to make it against so many other strong (AND NOT WHITE) singers like Lakisha, Jordan and Melinda.
apanbrad Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 1:28 pmI have to agree w/a lot of the posters in that I believe that this year the quality of talent is just not there.Aside from Lakisha and Melinda,these people are just not up to the standard of previous AI contestants–even Blake(and I think that he will probably win)is not in the same category as either of the previously mentioned ladies. Still, good luck to all contestants, and, peace everyone.

March 22nd, 2007 at 2:11 pmI was pretty shocked that it was either Chris R or Stephanie Edwards going home because they were both pretty good the night before to stay. I was pretty shocked that Gina, Phil and Haley were not one of those two standing there because they weren't that great. I will be going to the tour this year, but I am really upset that Stephanie is not in the tour for me to see her.
Qwerty Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 2:13 pmThere is a presumption here that the voting is on the up and up. As Stalin said, "It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes." Obviously, there is no independent oversight or any legal-type control over the vote count. Who does it? American Idol producers. Who determines which votes are legit and which are to be "filtered" out? American Idol producers. It's a TV show, folks — not a Presidential election. The easy way to check on the accuracy of the voting is to conduct scientific polling of American Idol voters.
Tyler Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 2:49 pmSANJAYA MALAKAR HAS FOUND WHAT THE JUDGES AND AMERICA ARE LOOKING 4!!!!!! look he's FANTASTIC!!! didn't suprise me Stephanie went home. she started to sound worse and worse every week. im proud of Sanjaya. now he's found what people like (he's been amazing ever since auditions!) he will be staying 4 awhile. don't go being sore loser assholes that the right people are actually goin home. and keep the show on 4 another couple seasons so in a couple years i can try out! im just like Sanjaya voice, looks, and personality so watch for me on Idol season 9!
Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX) Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 4:43 pmFolks, Stepahnie got the boot because she tried to be the next Beyonce.
Beyone is the most hated person in America right now, she is jealous of Jennifer Hudson, who Best Supporting Actress, did y'all see Hudson's performance on the Oscars and Beyonce's running up to the stage as desperate-her time has PASSED.
Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX) Says:
March 22nd, 2007 at 4:53 pmHere's how I see American Idol-Season 6:
1.Melinda Doolittle of Brentwood, Tennessee-Winner(for now she's the one to beat unless Sens. Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander dig up some dirt on her and use the call girl in another racist ad like they did against Harold Ford,Jr., in the 2006 TN Senate race).
2. Jordin Sparks of Glendale, Arizona-RUNNER-UP: more proof that the West will be force to be reckon with Jordin and Blake still around and due to the McPheever last year, I think the South's days are numbered regardless if they hold onto BARELY against either Jordin or Blake.
Jordin will sneak up and take Lakisha's spot away from her, because Lakisha is on the verge of being Tom Bradley'd.
3. Blake Lewis of Federal Way, Washington: if he wins, he'll be the first Blue State finalist to win American Idol.
4. Haley Scarnato of San Antonio, Texas: she IS the Katharine McPhee of 2007 and if she continues to step up her game, she could sneak into the Final 3 and take Blake's spot.
5. Lakisha Jones of Fort Meade, Maryland: on the decline FAST than Blanco's approval ratings in LA.
6. Chris Sligh of Greenville, South Carolina
7. Gina Glocksen of Naperville, Illinois: unless Barack Obama and Richard Daley, Jr., come save her, the girl rocker has NO chance of making the Final 5 or Final Four.
8. Sanjaya Malakar of Federal Way, Washington
9. Chris Richardson of Chesapeake, Virginia: the male version of Camile Velasco-CANNOT SING SH*T.
10. Phil Stacey of Jacksonville, Florida.

March 22nd, 2007 at 10:47 pmall i can say is that Sanjaya was shouting during his performance this past week. he wasn't singing at all.
during the auditions, the judges mentioned that he was better than his sister. and up to now, i still don't get it because i thought the sister was the better singer.
Lisa Says:
March 23rd, 2007 at 4:28 amWhat is wrong with you retarded Americans!? You're obviously deaf! Sanjaya is a piece of crap who sounds like a dying cow! You might as well get Simon singing. I swear if Sanjaya doesnt get voted out next week I am THROUGH with American Idol…….. It should be called American Idiots. Who ever is out there- like a sad loner voting for Sanjaya again and again (probably it's SANJAYA voting for himself) go get a life. Please vote him OUT now…AMERICA PLEASE PROTEST AND HAVE STEPHANIE BROUGHT BACK IN AND SANJAYA SENT PACKING BACK TO DELHI. AMEN
Wilfred Choo Says:
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:10 amSanjaya was great and he improves with every performance.

Epiphany Interview, Part Deux
Epiphany is the mouthy drag performer with a great voice and lots to say with it. Here's more of just what that might be:
Me: "Hey, Epiphany. First of all, what in your childhood affected the way you carry on today?
Epiphany: "I am the only child of two very loving and wonderful people. Both my parents have always been supportive of me. They split up when I was two. My mom, then realizing that she was a lesbian, decided to live openly as one. I had a hard time in school, always 'disruptive' and then, when confronted by the teachers, I was 'argumentative' or 'insubordinate'. They always used to tell me that I should be a lawyer because I loved to argue.
"At a very early age, I was introduced to the theater. I was put in dance around the age of 5 and started singing at 8. This became an addiction I still can't cure. Socially, I had it rough, lots of gay taunts, lesbian mom taunts, fat kid taunts, looking like a girl taunts.
"But the stage gave me an escape from my life and I dug in hard and studied well. Combined with my opinionated and critical mind and my desire to be accepted by straight men, I started dabbling in 'drag'. I use the theatricality of real life to make myself into a hyper idealized version of who I sometimes want to be."
Me: "How does it feel to be one of the handful of New York drag queens who can actually sing?"
Epiphany: "It feels great to sing! If you can sing, you must sing. It is your duty to the universe for giving you such a gift. So many queens say, 'Oh, I can sing, I just don't 'cause it's not my thing'. Yeah, bitches, you can sing...LIKE A MAN!!!!
"I had the same vocal coach throughout my childhood who coached me through the rough years when my voice changed. He gave me the option to keep my high voice from being a child or change it and allow it to drop. I decided to keep it high and that's why I can sound like a woman when I sing.
"Performance in general has become so lowbrow in this new century. Being a drag queen and singing live isn't all you might think it is. Yes, I am one of very few, and yes, my art is elevated to a place the great Broadway doesn't rival. Yet most of America is stuck in the era of drag where lip-synch and poop jokes and making fun of people who have no defense because they have no microphone constitutes talent. I try to be better than that."

Spring training reports have an abundance of sports cliches, but Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson is doing his part to change that. He thinks his players are such swell guys that they'd make great dates for his daughter — or your daughter. This is the same team with Jayson 'Caveman' Werth
The Northern Illinois Huskies' men's basketball team isn't very good. They are spectacularly bad, actually. On Saturday, Northern Illinois broke its own NCAA Division I record for least points in a first half in the shot clock era by scoring just four points before halftime in a 42-25 loss to Eastern Michigan.

This is a little different from my usual style, but not so far out there that I'd never wear it. I love the dress with black tights, and that bag has been on my wish list for a while now. The glasses are awesome, the necklace is bold but not crazy (sometimes I like 'em a little crazy), and the ring is just plain cool. I think it's the ankle boots that are pushing me out of my comfort zone with this outfit. What about you — would you wear this? Or maybe with some substitutions?

Was just thinking about this dress yesterday. Better not think too long now! ;-)
great look!
i have a question for the interwebs:
how do you guys feel about black tights with peep toe booties/heels?-
i think its do-able!! for sure
I love tights and knee socks with peep toe or even sandals. My hardest thing is finding tights that fit but don't slide down and bunch at the ankles. I used to love Spanx reversible, but I just dropped $34 on a pair that according to their size chart I fit perfectly in and they slid down all day! ('cuz yanking at tights all day is sooo ladylike). what brands to people like?
I love the bag, but not the price! Anything more affordable, but similar?
Love this style post – more "me" than some, but I always appreciate seeing how well you put things together.
I would totally wear it.
That's an awesome bag, but I'm scared to even look at the price :) -
I WOULD wear this, it's classy enough for my age (49) – however, I would not wear the ankle boots…they aren't "me" and I rarely like the way they look…
I LOVE this outfit. I know you aren't sure about the booties, but I think they are smokin' hot! Perfect outfit for holiday parties.
I love everything about this outfit!!!
I'd stick to my tall black flat boots.
I like the opaque hose w/peep toes (esp. bright hose).
Girl! This outfit is amazing. I want everything on this list. I absolutely love your style. I'm going to keep this (and your style inspirations in general) in mind when I'm shopping.
Love it! I've been hunting unsuccessfully for flat riding-style boots that aren't too loose in the calves (boo hoo – all the Frye boots that I tried were too big) and am thinking I should try booties instead. Of course they aren't flats, but they're sooo cute! Thanks for the ideas!
I rarely comment, but I LOVE this style post! I have been at home with my three-month old and sometimes feel like I don't remember what kind of style I like, but this is very close. Thanks for sharing!
I just ordered the Zara boots – fingers crossed that they look as amazing in person!
