Sixth District Congressman Bill Johnson was in Scioto County on Monday for a number of activities including a ride-a-long with a UPS driver in the Wheelersburg area.
Johnson talked about the importance of business to the American economy.
"Business is what drives our (America's) economic engine, 60 percent of the jobs in the country are created by small businesses and you guys (UPS) provide the logistic backbone for that," Johnson said. "You guys are innovators, that's what some of us in Washington are trying to be. You've got some that have created a very business unfriendly climate in America, between regulatory pressures and tax pressures that makes it difficult today for businesses to thrive. You guys are the backbone for many of America's small businesses"
Johnson then provided an update to those in attendance about things he and his staff are working on in Washington.
"FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) did something really dumb. They launched out and started some flood insurance reforms without doing what the law required them to do. The law requires them (FEMA) to go through an affordability study before they redrew the maps and increase rates, they did not do that," Johnson said. "Unfortunately a lot of Americans both, individual homeowners and businesses were hit with skyrocketing flood insurance premiums. There is a restaurant in Marietta (Ohio) who's 2013 flood insurance bill was $2,300, they get their bill this year and it's $23,000."
He said in some cases the flood insurance premiums are more than the value of the home.
"We took some action last week called the Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act. We did this to put some common sense into this and to make sure people are not experiencing skyrocketing premiums," Johnson said. "We hope the Senate takes this legislation and the president does something about it."
He said one other issues his office is working on is called the Seniors Fairness Act.
"How many of you are aware of the billions of dollars that was cut from Medicare Advantage with the presidents healthcare law. About 794,000 Ohioans participate in Medicare Advantage. Along the Ohio River that number is around 50,000 and 60,000 people," Johnson said. The cuts to the Medicare Advantage program is going to cause less access, less service skyrocketing premiums for it's participants. It's just not fair, the president and the administration have given a break to big businesses, to others that are supporters of his, but he has not given that same break to the hard working American people."
Johnson said as a result action has been taken and they are in the process of taking additional action.
Johnson then opened up the conversation to some questions from those in attendance.

Date Reviewed: November 16, 1998
Bottom Line:
This is the second full suspension Caloi I have owned. The new updated frameset is very similar to the Manitou FS and has grease ports at the major bearing pivots. Quality of craftsmanship is also improved over the past model as is the diet the frame was put on. The frame uses a Cane Creek AD-4 rear shock and so far has not caused any problems and is buttery smooth over the rough stuff. This frame provides a rock solid platform (read: no flex) from which an awesome mountainbike can be built and raced. Unfortunately, Caloi has discontinued this frameset choosing instead to build a bike more along the lines of a Gary Fisher Joshua. That's too bad. The '98 frameset was/is a keeper.

- Posted Feb 27, 2014
I was here for a family trip with 5 adults and 2 children, this is a pretty old hotel located within the city, but it's equipped with fridge, TV and AC, hot water are available. The rooms are very big and no restriction for the number of people to stay, no games or pool. The place is good for pilgrimages and business. Food is not available, but hotel Saravana Bhavan is opposite to this hotel. The security is very good and recommendable for family stay.More » « Less

BOOKs The Puffin Book of Folktales brings together 10 tales, familiar and new
We all know the story of the father and son who took their donkey to the market and listened to everything and everyone but common sense. What would have happened if they had listened to no one?
That's what Manjula Padmanabhan writes about in 'A Man, His Son, Their Donkey', one of the many reinterpretations of Indian folktales that finds its place in The Puffin Book of Folktales. The book has been brought out to commemorate Puffin completing a decade in India.
Other tales in the anthology include Paro Anand's 'Harshringar', where a besotted, heartbroken Surya curses a narcissistic damsel and turns her into a flower; Musharraf Ali Farooqi's 'Podna and His Revenge', where a little angry bird stuffs a zoo in his ear to exact revenge on the king who has kidnapped his Podni; and Kamala Das' 'Panna' about a little girl who ends up in the depths of the sea with the Fish King and Fish Queen.
Binding them are the illustrations by Pune-based artist Poonam Athalye. Done in oil, they capture the spirit of the stories — the determination of Podna who flies to confront the king, the anguish of a drowning king, the boredom of the Fish King and Queen who preside over a kingdom in perfect order; the despondence of the dove whose egg is stolen by the blacksmith's wife…
Considering some of the stories are familiar, with their own set of published imagery, was there a reference point for her to work with? Says Poonam: "The publishers approached me because they liked a technique I had used for an earlier book. They wanted me to paint using oil and showed me some of my previous work that they liked as a reference. I did not refer to any other illustrations. As always, I just read the stories several times and waited for the ideas to develop."
Folk rules
Devdutt Pattanaik's 'Renuka's Umbrella', where a sage, angry with the Sun for scalding his wife's feet, threatens to shoot him down from the sky with his arrow, proved more challenging than the rest, says the artist. "There are some stories in the book that have a mythological background. I wanted to refrain from illustrating any mythological character in detail as it would take away from the folk part of it and appear more like a book on Indian mythology. 'Renuka's Umbrella' was particularly difficult because of this," Poonam explains.
A student of architecture, Poonam later did a course in visual communication. "Throughout the course I made animation films, for which I drew and painted by hand. But, towards the end of the course I began working with Prof. Kirti Trivedi, and began illustrating for children," says Poonam.
The book has been brought out to commemorate Puffin completing a decade in India

Airgas moves offices, now can expand retail more easily
CORPUS CHRISTI - Airgas Southwest, Inc. recently moved its administrative offices from two locations to a new suite on Bear Lane. The company is a distributor of industrial, medical and specialty gases.

The office at Bear Lane is being leased from WTF Properties. The 40,000-square-foot-plus building also houses Magnum Oil Tools International and American Medical Technologies.
Melissa DeLeon of NAI Cravey Real Estate Services represented Airgas and Josh Gaines of NAI Cravey Real Estate Services represented the new landlord.

well, that, and the fact that i am a total hack...
here is what I am planning!
The manifold is just taped on with duct tape so it is protruding out in to the engine area a bit to much (just done this as a representaion). This manifold will be one of the last things I do because I has to wait untill the motor is in the frame. This is one of the reasons why I put the wr subframe on the tt frame. As the air box and air duct was premade so this made half of the job easier. I have poured over your build and I am trying to find a suitable solution to the lower linkage and the position of the bolt frame relationship I have an idea but it's a bit confusing to explain so keep your eyes peeled
This is a repesentation ony the carb is only supported by the rubber boot so it is drooping down a bit but you get the general idea as what is going on
Build it and you will ride

Maison Polanka
Throw away the cookie-cutter
What we say:
Maison Polanka is an elegant upscale boutique retreat that's a cross between a refined hotel and a relaxed, welcoming home, with a spacious garden setting housing two traditional Khmer villas. While there may only be a total of five rooms and suites, this is an intimate and inviting property that's packed with both personality and personal service.
Located by Wat Polanka pagoda in a more residential part of town, the private, gated residence is secluded without being far-flung, situated halfway between the temples and town off a windy narrow road behind the back of the pagoda. A few minor bumps leading up to the property are well worth it.
Besides the open air restaurant and bar which serves up French and Khmer cuisine, the vibrant blue of the infinity-edge swimming pool is accentuated by matching pool towels and complimented by the generous green gardens studded with swaying palm trees. This ample space is safe for young ones to roam around and creates a real back-to-nature feel that more centrally located bolt holes don't usually offer.
Throwing away the cookie-cutter, this former family home consists of the main building, The Maison, which has been converted into four rooms: Purple, Green, Orange and Yellow. Adjacent perches The Khmer House, a 1940s restored traditional stilted wooden villa relocated to the estate from a rural village, offering one generously proportioned King sized double room.
The rooms in The Maison are all individual in style and colour palette, though each are similarly decked out with vintage furniture, colourful crafts and the owner's private collection of hand-picked art by Cambodian, Asian and European artists. Simple splashes of colour are used to create a cohesive theme set against simple wooden floors and pared-back finish, bringing together details such as a yellow bed throw and matching yellow Elephant statue from Theam's House on the writing desk in the aptly named Yellow Room, at US$180 a night.
If the Green Room — $280 a night — bedroom is spacious, the outdoor veranda and living room attached is positively colossal, looking down over the swimming pool. The Orange Room is diminutive in stature, but no less so in the style stakes, with the tops of trees brushing at the window of this twin room (though the beds can be arranged to create a double) which costs $150 a night.
The separate quaint Khmer House is USD$330 a night and features an open plan design for the single capacious suite, allowing enough space to do cartwheels. The high ceilings and painted wooden beams add volume and charm in equal measure. Under the house between the stilts hides its own alfresco living space, complete with bicycles for exploring the town or the ruins of Angkor.
For groups of friends and families travelling together, Maison Polanka can be rented in its entirety for complete privacy for USD$1,100 a night.
More contemporary and creative in its decor than rustic-chic Sala Lodges, the latter is also worth considering if you like a unique ambience, comprising a 'village' of renovated traditional Khmer villas in a rural setting.

DALLAS Dallas police Chief David Brown admitted Friday night that the department will be embarrassed when the dashcam video of officers beating a motorcyclist is released.
News 8 reported exclusively on the explosive nature of the recording earlier this week. Now, Chief Brown says there may be two or more additional officers involved in the police brutality probe and he hinted there may be more video of the incident.
The department is working through the weekend on the case and could make the video public as soon as next Wednesday.

Ten Things We Learned This Week
A 217mph, 838bhp Brabus E63 AMG and the V8-powered 911: it's your weekly car news roundup
Posted: 19 May 2014
Porsche built a one-off 911 concept car with an Audi V8 engine
You read that right - a Porsche 911 with a V8. Porsche has just released a little video detailing an oddity in its museum stash; a prototype '965' that was built in the 1980s.
It was a trial to see if a 911 could handle a bigger engine, and so Porsche borrowed a water-cooled V8 from Audi, clad it in 959 bodywork and tested it on the public road.
However, museum archive chief Dieter Landenberger notes the 965 would never have become more than a concept, because the flat-six engine "is at the heart of a 911".

Holly is so freaky HOT!!! I would do a lot of naughty things with her.
Already in Las Vegas for her newly-premiered and well-received production at Planet Hollywood called "Peep Show", Holly Madison expressed interest at a recent Ultimate Fighting Championship event that she wanted to take a spin around the Octagon for UFC 100 this Saturday night. The fight card, taking place at Mandalay Bay, is expected by every measure to be the biggest event in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's history with a unified heavyweight title on the line between Brock Lesnar versus Frank Mir and a welterweight championship fight between Georges "Rush" St-Pierre and #1 contender Thiago "Pitbull" Alves.
Holly Madison joins the lovely posse of Octagon Girls known to their UFC fans as Ariny Celeleste, Edith Lable and d Logan Stanton. "It's been a dream of mine since becoming a fan of the UFC and watching the incredible athleticism of the fighters, to do the honors of being an Octagon Girl for a night," said Madison.
"UFC 100 marks the biggest event in the history of our company, so it's the perfect time to bring in the Ultimate Octagon Girl, Holly Madison. Not only is Holly one of the world's most beautiful women, but she is a huge fan and supporter of the UFC, and we're looking forward to having her with us on July 11th," idid Dana White, the president of the UFC.
UFC 100 takes place this Saturday, July 11 live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Veg. T The sold out event is available live on Pay-Per-View starting at 10pm ET/7pm PT. Fans may also see Holly LIVE on www.UFC.com/BK

Cmon Joe Rogan let me hear those two magic words "wardrobe malfunction"
i'd find it kinda hard to fight while those girls are walking round in so little holding boards!
LMAO @ 'one of the world's most beautiful women'. That bitch is all plastic. Fake ass gold digging whores. This is almost as bad as the UFC first announcing that Limp Bizkit would be playing at 100..horrible choice, UFC coulda done alot better in its position.
Limp pulled out i think? or UFC cancelled them lol.
nonetheless thankfully theyre not playing.
limp bizkits still a band? lmao
"Professional Hot Chick" hahaha
"Limp pulled out?" Hmmm…One thing I would never be, and another I would never do, with Holly Madison.

Sep 24, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most people in the English speaking world have an idea of Robin Hood; a montage of all those traits ingrained from years of stories, movies and tv shows. We know the story. Minor lord returns from the aiding of King Richard in the Crusades to find extreme corruption, graft and abuse of the citizenry in his once idyllic home...robs from the rich and gives to the poor. He's charming, witty, and a damn good shot with a bow; as well as being a man of principle and a leader of men. That about sums it up. The problem with everyone knowing the story is that everyone takes it for granted that everyone knows it. Confused? Probably about as confused as I am over the complete laziness in writing by the writers of this show. A good show grasps your attention from the first, and slowly stews into a thick and creamy sauce of excellence that develops the audiences love for the characters and their eccentricities as well as the style of that particular series. It has a sort of "getting to know you" type courtship phase that strengthens the show / watcher bond. Said good show also throws wrenches in the conventional storytelling machine and places those characters in new and fresh situations that they can find their way, merrily (as in the case of a telling of Robin Hood), out of. What a good show does NOT do is take for granted its audience's knowledge of the characters and hence forgo the entire characterization process. (Here comes Robin, cue overly-heroic music to let everyone know that he's our protagonist!) It also shouldn't deck out the actors of a period show set in the middle ages in polyester hoods, but that's certainly a lesser failure than inserting new characters into a beloved and well-known legend because you feel that Robin could use a sidekick and the show some comic relief. Comic relief? Seriously, it's called relief because it's supposed to relieve all the seriousness and drama surrounding it. I shouldn't cringe every time the so-called Relief steps in and throws in his quib. That is NOT relief believe me. Plus, why the producers determined that there needed to be a comic relief anyway is a complete mystery to me because where is the drama? It's not like the whole production isn't laden with camp: from the sound-effects, to the cheesy over-the-top music, the laughable dialogue, the incredibly poor sets and costumes, one could go on for paragraphs of the comedic value of this show. BBC's Robin Hood fails because it is lazy and unimaginative. It pushes no boundaries save a thinly veiled attempt to placate the people of Middle Eastern descent through the use of interjections of the wrongness of the Crusades from Robin Hood's own mouth. How lazy? you ask. First episode: standard coming home from the Crusades bit. Ok. Fair enough.
Second episode: the framing of Robin Hood and the subsequent turning on him by the people who are supposed to love him. Hmmm. Shouldn't that be about a dozen episodes down the road, you know, after you've established that Robin and his band have established a good relationship with those poor sods?
Third episode: Robin Hood finds a baby! I have nothing else to say. That's where I stopped watching because from there it is blatantly obvious that this show is terrible. The finding a baby episode? Really? Where did you come with that writers? Must have thought about that one all day. I am ashamed for the profession, but more so for the producers of this rot that enabled its creation and its spooning to the public. Thanks for ruining a solid premise.
So, the show gets a 3 from me: 1 point for the Saracen Bow, 1 point for the Scimitar and the remaining point out of my generosity for liking Maid Marian and Guy of Gisborne. Marian is sexy despite a strong jaw, and Guy of Gisborne lays it on so thick that it is hilarious. Rock on Guy! Earn that paycheck.… Expand
Jun 20, 2012I thought the show was fantastic and then the killed off Marian. I am going to stop watching. What kind of Robin Hood show doesn't include Marian!?!? Ridiculous and bad writing.
Nov 22, 2010If it's historical accuracy or realism you're looking for, obviously this is not the show for you.

What this show has to offer is fast-paced episodes that are dramatic, poignant, action-packed, and funny, with characters you quickly come to care about and stories that pull you in. Jonas Armstrong is a memorable Robin Hood -- a quirky flawed hero who can be, by turns, noble and obnoxious, altruistic and egotistical, kind and mean-spirited. Lucy Griffiths is a strong-willed but conflicted Marian; Richard Armitage gives a fantastic performance as Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriff's brutal henchman torn between his ambitions and his desire for redemption, and Keith Allen is an outstanding Sheriff of Nottingham -- hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Other standout characters: Robin's loyal, simple but brave and goodhearted servant/friend Much (Sam Troughton); Allan A'Dale, a con artist who joins Robin's gang after Robin saves him from hanging; and Djaq, a female Saracen slave who becomes "one of the lads." The storylines manage to rise above the predictable "robbing from the rich, giving to the poor" pattern. The action scenes in this season are often mediocre, but the character drama and the witty dialog more than make up for that.… Expand
Mar 3, 2012Deeply flawed... yet still fun. The biggest two faults with this show are its unnecessary over-the-top stunts (like throwing swords 30 feet and hitting a target) and Robin Hood's inconsistent pacifism. The Sheriff's life is frequently in Robin Hood's hands, Robin says he will not kill a man, and so the Sheriff's reign continues. Okay, I can accept that.

The biggest two faults with this show are its unnecessary over-the-top stunts (like throwing swords 30 feet and hitting a target) and Robin Hood's inconsistent pacifism. The Sheriff's life is frequently in Robin Hood's hands, Robin says he will not kill a man, and so the Sheriff's reign continues. Okay, I can accept that. Except that when some hapless guards (just following orders) get into a scuffle with the Merry Men, they kill without hesitation. I can overlook modernization of language and historical inaccuracies (not a big deal), but this show also has Robin walking around in town square without a hood, and nobody recognizing him. If you can get past all of that... it's probably worth watching. Robin Hood's character is charming (and annoyingly conceited) and some of the dialogue is pretty witty. Most of the casting is pretty decent, and the characters fit well enough. There are even moments where the sheriff's second in command Guy Gisborne almost seems human (unlike the sheriff). Basically... the show is worth a shot. It's flawed, it has a number of stale moments, but at its core, it's something pretty special.… Expand
Feb 20, 2013This is my new favorite show since the beginning you start to wonder what will happen next, and let me tell you; you will never be disappointed with the events. I am 14 years old and I don't remember the last time I cried so hard. It would be a dream to meet these actors.
For the willing, it's still a story worth hearing. [2 Mar 2007, p.64]
If there is a chink to this series' armor, it is in the casting of Armstrong in the title role.
I wish the show had a little more verisimilitude--the peasants' homes look cheap, not poor--but it's zippy mindless fun. [5 Mar 2007, p.37]

The Trojans turned up the intensity and pressure in the second quarter and never looked back.
Bandys executed to perfection offensively and defensively against Fred T. Foard in the second quarter and outscored the Lady Tigers, 22-5, on their way to a non-conference victory on Thursday.
"We just tried to focus tonight," said Bandys head coach Beth Queen. "Defensively, we set a goal to hold them under 40 points. We just sat our goals and focused on the little things."

by James Slater - Fast becoming a fan-favourite, due to his relentless, hard-punching approach, 23-year-old banger Ji Hoon Kim of South Korea gets a chance to become a world ruler on August 14th, when he will face Mexico's Miguel Vazquez for the vacant IBF lightweight title in Laredo, Texas.
Kim, 21-5(18), and last seen earning his shot at the IBF crown on ESPN, when he took out Ameth Diaz inside a single round, is a quite remarkable fighter.. Seemingly unconcerned with defence, the warrior dubbed "Volcano" thrills fans with the way he takes chances; searching each and every time out for the KO. Sure, he's come a cropper due to this reckless (but damned exciting) style of fighting before - most notable early in his career, when he lost his fifth pro fight via a 1st-round KO - but just lately he's gotten away with it. And the fans love him, or are beginning to love him, for doing so.
A natural "T.V fighter," Kim now hopes to climb to the top (or close to it) of his weight class by winning the IBF belt against the capable and never-stopped Mexican known as "Titere." But will the fan-friendly fighter's temperament let him down?
Vazquez, 25-3(12) and best known for his last fight, the upset split decision points win over another lethal puncher in Breidis Prescott of Columbia, has never been stopped as a pro and all three of his points defeats have come against good men. Streaking hot prospect Saul Alvarez decisioned Vazquez in the 23-year-old's very first fight, way back in January of 2006, and the 19-year-old Mexican repeated the job, over ten-rounds instead of four, two-and-a-half years later. Three fights before the second loss to Alvarez, Vazquez lost a ten-rounder to a 20-0 Timothy Bradley.
So, although he has lost to all the big names he has met - Breidis Prescott aside - Vazquez has shown he belongs and that he is at very least a decent enough operator. And that win over Prescott did prove that Vazquez knows how to defuse a big-hitter. Throw in the fact that Kim is even more one-dimensional and focused only on attacking than is the man who flattened Amir Khan in a single round, and you have to concede how the Mexican has a real chance in August.
Having said that, however, Kim starts favourite for me. For though Vazquez is reasonably fast as well as durable, he can be hit and hurt. Prescott had him down in the 1st-round back in July of last year (even though the eventual winner was not too badly hurt) and maybe Kim will have even more success in the early-going in Texas. Indeed, with his bone-crunching power, Kim, if he does catch Vazquez, might just nail him to the canvas!
And then there's Vazquez' inactivity to worry about. The co-challenger will have been out for over a year come fight time and this can't possibly be a good thing. Any fighter who faces the dynamite-punching Kim needs to be as sharp as they can be; especially in the first couple of rounds. Looking at everything, I really do see a win for Kim - perhaps even another quick one.
Kim isn't too fond of going the distance (the last time was way back in October, 2006, when he won a split verdict down at featherweight) and it makes sense that he will want the fast KO against Vazquez. Going one better than Prescott, Kim will do so in my opinion. If he doesn't nail Vazquez, though, and instead allows the Mexican to get into his groove, he could possibly lose a decision.
But with the power and approach Kim has, I wouldn't bet on it!

Mickelson's emotions in motion
Lefty back, but it's not usual routine
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The idea was for Phil Mickelson to return to a routine as best as possible in his world now shaken with fear.
It has been three turbulent weeks since he announced that his wife, Amy, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Mickelson has always felt like he was in control, even if his golf at times suggested otherwise. Now he feels helpless.
"I've never been this emotional, where if I'm driving alone or what have you, I'll just start crying," he said yesterday at the St. Jude Classic, his eyes tinged with streaks of pink, his voice no longer steady and sure.
"We're scared, yeah," he said. "I think a lot of it is the unknown."
Tests on his 38-year-old wife have provided enough optimism that surgery has been pushed back to the first week of July, allowing Mickelson to return to competition this week, then go to the U.S. Open in New York, where he is beloved under normal circumstances.
His wife faces treatment for at least a year, so they decided to do what they normally would – play golf tournaments, take their three children to camps and activities. They plan to take a tropical vacation after the U.S. Open and before Amy's surgery.
Even so, this was not a normal routine for Mickelson in Memphis.
Some 300 fans lined the walkway at the bottom of the stairs leading to the clubhouse where Mickelson had lunch, waiting for autographs or pictures, some wearing pink shirts in support.
He does not know what to expect from his game. Mickelson said he would hit balls for an hour while his wife was resting, and he feels he is not far off from earlier this year, when he won at Riviera and Doral.
"But certainly, I haven't played in a while," he said. "I had an emotional month, and I don't know where I will be on the golf course as far as being able to focus. I don't know that yet."
If nothing else, Mickelson said he looked forward to being inside the ropes, allowing him to get his mind off cancer.
But there was no escaping it yesterday.
He started on No. 10, hitting driver down the hill into the water, hitting the next one in a bunker. Then came the par-3 11th over water, and a tournament tradition that hit home like never before.
Patients at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital caddie for the professional on this hole. Mickelson met Michael Anderson, 27, who is coming off his fourth surgery for a brain tumor. A half-dozen children suddenly surrounded him, most of them losing their hair.
Lefty knelt to speak to them, giving each a golf ball and a glove until he had to send his caddie, Jim Mackay, back to the bag for more.
When Anderson inquired about Amy, Lefty said, "We think they caught it early. The treatment is going to be tough. But let's whip this."
Mickelson spent seven hours Tuesday practicing at Bethpage Black, where he was runner-up to Tiger Woods in 2002.

Judge Rules Mo. Man Won't Have To Serve 13-Year Prison Term
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 6, 2014 7:34 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Mike Anderson of Missouri was ready to do time. He was convicted for his role in a robbery. Due to a clerical error, he was never told to report to prison. Anderson waited year after year and even reminded the state - hello? prison term. He went on with life, started a business, got married and had kids. After 13 years, the state found its mistake. But now a judge has freed Anderson, citing his exemplary behavior. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Plummeting temperatures mean frozen balls and sleeveless jerseys
Updated: January 19, 2008, 9:31 PM ETAssociated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Baby, it's cold outside.
So cold, one team has practiced with footballs straight out of the freezer. But not so frigid that many players say they will go sleeveless.
As for the plummeting temperatures being an advantage for the Green Bay Packers in Sunday's NFC championship game against the New York Giants, the hosts aren't quite so sure.
"It's not like they're coming from Florida," guard Daryn Colledge noted.
Of course, Colledge is from Alaska, so zero ...

I have a special place in my heart for the state of Ohio. I am not from there, but I did spend almost five years there during my time at The Ohio State University. I understand their pain. Especially Browns, Indians, and Cavaliers fans. I know they feel Lebron James betrayed him, but just like any bad breakup it is time to move on. You have a nice young squad and a superstar in a making with Kyrie Irving. Look forward, not backwards. Who even gets vanity license plates anymore? Is this 1998? Pro Basketball Talk has the details. The Dayton Daily News in Ohio looked at personalized license plates rejected by the state's Bureau of Motor Vehicles and found some LeBron James hate did not make the cut. Here are some of the rejected plates. IH8LBJ, LBJSUCK, LBJSUX, EFFLBJ One man shouldn't have that much power over you.

One of our favorite things is getting to know SpiderOak users. Our loyal customers and fellow privacy fanatics have continually helped us create a better product and develop and grow as a company.
We're grateful. Allow me to introduce you to a few users who were willing to share their SpiderOak story:
Kevin, the professional musician:
Brook, relieved to have photos and videos safely backed up:
"I just wanted to drop a quick note that I recently started using SpiderOak for my backup and syncing needs, and it works great. I can vouch for it working well on Windows, Linux and the Android app. I love all the flexibility you have with [the client] and really appreciate the 'zero-knowledge' data encryption. Over the weekend [my family] organized and backed up about 10GB of photos and videos. It's a huge relief to have that taken care of. [I really appreciate] SpiderOak's sync feature for keeping my main documents synced between my desktop and laptop. I've contacted support a few times for general questions and always received quick, personal and useful responses. So far, I'm very pleased."
T3charmy, left Dropbox for SpiderOak:
"I left dropbox for you guys. I had a promo for 5GB free, and so far, you guys are WAY better than Dropbox. My experience… has far exceeded what Dropbox could do. The one thing that I would like to see is the ability to upload files from the Android app. Other than that, you have far exceeded my expectations. 6/5 stars."
We'll share more testimonials next week, as well as promote a limited special deal for 25GB we've never before offered. Stay tuned!
