The Disciples of Apocalypse (DOA) were a biker-themed professional wrestling stable in the World Wrestling Federation in the late 1990s.[1] The group came together from the firing of Crush and Savio Vega from the Nation of Domination stable in June 1997 and consisted of four main members: Crush, Chainz, Skull and 8-Ball.[1]
DOA began to form on the June 9, 1997 edition of Raw when, the leader of the Nation of Domination, Faarooq fired both Savio Vega and Crush from the stable.[3] As a result, Crush proceeded to form his own Hells Angels themed stable. The group consisted of Chainz, Skull and 8-Ball (both of whom are real-life cousins of Chainz). They were introduced on the June 23, 1997 edition of Raw and proceeded to feud with the new Nation of Domination led by Faarooq and Los Boricuas led by Savio Vega.[4][5][6]
Late in 1997, Crush left the group, and the WWF[2] in protest of the Montreal Screwjob, and believing he would fare better in WCW. DOA continued as a stable with Chainz assuming leadership. With the loss of Crush, DOA started to team on a semi-regular basis with Ken Shamrock and Ahmed Johnson to battle The Nation of Domination. They also feuded against the Truth Commission and their spiritual leader, The Jackyl.
During this time, DOA would make their ring entrances astride custom-made 'Titan' Motorcycles. This gimmick would later be used by The Undertaker during his 'American Bad-Ass' incarnation.
As time passed, Skull and 8-Ball began to focus on their tag team career, leaving Chainz to compete as a singles wrestler. In 1998, Chainz left the WWF, and Skull and 8-Ball continued as a tag team using the DOA name. They entered a feud with The Legion of Doom, during the course of which the Legion's former manager Paul Ellering turned on his former charges and sided with DOA.[2] However, that angle soon died out and DOA entered a brief feud with Southern Justice. Soon after that, Ellering left the duo and they formed a short lived alliance with Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor known then as Too Much. Soon after that angle, DOA left the WWF. Then, both 8-Ball and Skull went to WCW.

The Nation's theme starts up, but before they can leave, a line of men on motorcycles ride in through the entryway and down the ramp. It's Crush, followed by Brian Lee, and Ron and Don Harris (aka the Bruise Brothers, Grimm Twins, and Jacob and Eli Blu). Ahmed rolls his eyes skyward as the gang park their hawgs and enter the ring. Crush says that he's gotten reinforcements in his brotherhood, the DOA: Disciples of Apocalypse. Crush says they "live together, ride together, and damn sure fight together!" A massive eight man brawl breaks out. Jim Ross screams "it's a street fight ... a gang fight ... a drive-by!" McMahon retakes his seat and adds that he's never been so intimidated in his life. Uniformed security and WWF officials flood the ringside area to split the two groups apart. After the NOD is cleared out, the DOA roar off on their Harleys.[unreliable source?]

Suddenly Savio Vega appears on the ramp with a mic. Just like Crush, he says he isn't fired from the NOD because he quit. Savio then calls to the back and three more Hispanics (one of them Miguel Perez) run out, and the four of them attack the NOD. Just when things seemed as if they couldn't get more out of control, Crush and his Disciples ride in on their Harleys, and a massive twelve-man brawl explodes. WWF referees, officials, and even uniformed security men fill the ring to break up the melee.[unreliable source?]

FAAROOQ/ROCKY MAIVIA (NOD) vs. CRUSH/CHAINZ (DOA) - The hugest crowd reaction yet is heard as almost the entire crowd chants "Rocky sucks!" About what you'd expect from a match with these guys involved. The match ends in a "no contest" when Los Boricuas stroll in. The rest of DOA and NOD come out and the expected huge brawl ensues. During the melee WWF official Dave Hebner gets bodyslammed. Sgt. Slaughter and his crew of officials come out to clear up the mess.[unreliable source?]

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Lift your head off your pillow in the master bedroom to watch the sun rise over Lake Huron, then snooze a bit more or head down to the beach for an early morning beach walk or kayak on a flat surfaced Lake Huron. Kids can either sleep close in bunk beds in the master bedroom or in bunk beds in a separate bedroom (2 bunks sleep 4). A back room has another full size bed for a happy couple such that the cottage can handle 4 adults and at least as many kids. A full kitchen and laundry area complement the home. As the day advances and the breeze picks up, sail in a sunfish or windsurf from the beach or head a few miles south to Oscoda for a float trip in canoes, kayaks, or tubes along the AuSable River. Or take a bike ride around Cedar Lake or just lie on the beach and enjoy the sun. As the day comes to an end, mix up some margaritas and grill up a feast (or order pizza) and watch the amazing sunset colors develop over Lake Huron. As the sun sets, start a fire on the upper beach, make s'mores, sing some songs, or tell ghost stories while watching shooting stars and satellites overhead.
Also a great escape in the winter to a cozy cottage with a fireplace, a table for jigsaw puzzling, or a nice couch for reading (or snoozing) - both with great views of Lake Huron! Adventure outside for walks along the frozen beach with ice flows extending varying distances into the lake. Nearby you can also find several groomed X-country ski trails. Return to the cottage to warm up by a fire with hot chocolate or some soup and then enjoy games with the family or movies on the big screen with a LCD projector.
Turn off your connections to the outside world - there is no cable TV or internet service at the cottage and cell phone service varies with carrier (all can be found a few miles away in Oscoda) - you've come to the cottage to relax and reconnect with family and loved ones - not be connected to the world!
My wife and I are veterinarians that work at Michigan State University and have busy careers and lives trying to keep up with our jobs and our two children. Our kids were 10 and 7 when we bought the cottage and despite soccer, cross-country, and other school events, we are always game for a drive 'up north' for a night, weekend, or hopefully a longer respite.
Hal Schott purchased this cottage in 2008
We fell in love with this area of Lake Huron when we visited friends in the area. We purchased the cottage with the goal of 'slowing down' intermittently and having quality family time. Days on the lake, whether summer or winter, start with a family breakfast followed by a beach walk with our dogs. The days continue largely unplanned but typically end with a family dinner and campfire or movies on the big screen. Whether we are there for a day, a weekend, or a couple of weeks, we have never once been ready to leave when we had to return to reality. We are convinced that this has been the single most important investment in quality family life and we hope that you may also experience the relaxation and reconnection that we experience every time we visit the lake!
Relax, revive, and reconnect with loved ones and family. There is no daily schedule to keep and plenty of opportunity to slow down and enjoy the passing of time (the meaning of life according to James Taylor).
Arriving with three young grandchildren and three small dogs we found the cottage extremely comfortable with all the amenities of home! The gorgeous view of Lake Huron was excitedly welcomed by all with hours of walking on the sandy beaches. The sunset is so beautiful it drew a tear to our eyes. Hal, the property owner, is very easy and accommodating to work with. I can't wait to go back and have a great summer experience !!
Very comfortable, cozy, clean cottage. Everything you could think of was available. Beautiful view of the lake, beautiful beach. Couldn't have asked for anything more!
We had 2 adults and 5 kids from age 8-16 and this was perfect! The house is set up so that we never felt crowded and there was something for everyone. The owners are extremely easy to work with and include so many things with the rental that all we needed were clothes and food! From kayaks to fishing poles to bikes and beach towels...it was so nice to have all this available. The yard is very large and stocked with chairs, firepit, volleyball court, etc.
It was so much better than we had even expected from looking at the photos. I felt it was VERY reasonably priced for everything you get and we would consider booking again in a heartbeat!
We had a great time at this cabin. Friendly and easy booking with owners!! The beach is great and it's a great all around family friendly getaway!!
We had a great week at the cottage. Highly recommend. Owners work hard to please.
Very nice home with beautiful view of Lake Huron. House was comfortable with plenty of sleeping room and seating. Kitchen had everything we needed and the owners even offered us to use his spices and condiments. Large yard with boardwalk to sandy beach and beach toys (kayaks, water trampoline, sailboard and beach toys for little ones) Also set up bad-mitten and volleyball. Town of Harrisville to the North and Towas to the South for shopping but most stores close early. Definitely would recommend this property!

A Castaic man who's also a member of the Los Angeles Police Department, pleaded not guilty in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday to two charges that he committed lewd acts with a minor.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Miguel Schiappapietra, 28, is still in custody after his bail was doubled to $200,000 at the request of the District Attorney's Office.
Schiappapietra is scheduled to come back May 30 for a preliminary hearing at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles, where the evidence in the case will be presented for trial.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in state prison.
The Los Angeles Police Department officer was arrested Saturday on child molestation charges, according to a sergeant with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Bureau.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of lewd acts with a child, and the victims are under 10 years of age, said Sgt. Brian Hudson of the Special Victims Bureau.
The alleged crimes occurred in Castaic, which is where the officer lived, Hudson said. He was arrested at his Castaic home.
"I can confirm that we have an investigation involving an LAPD officer," Hudson said. "The allegations involved child molestation."
Schiappapietra was initially suspected of one count, and the detectives' investigation led to the additional charge.
Two girls told detectives that at 9 a.m. on Saturday, the suspect lured them into his residence in the 28000 block of Branch Road in Castaic, and committed lewd acts, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The investigation is in its preliminary phases, Hudson said. However, he said detectives have no reason to suspect there are additional victims at this time.
Schiappapietra was a six-year veteran of the LAPD and stationed at the Foothill Station for the Los Angeles Police Department.
No additional information about the details of the allegations or the investigation are being released at this time, he said.
The Special Victims Bureau has seven locations throughout Los Angeles County and investigates all sexual and physical assaults of children, as well as all sex crimes.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Bureau at (877) 710-5273. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the websitehttp://lacrimestoppers.org

Congress could nix the White House's proposal for a 1 percent pay raise for federal employees. They did it last year when President Barack Obama recommended a 0.5 percent pay raise, but Congress cut it out of the continuing resolution. Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) says he thinks feds deserve a raise this year.
Chief Technology Officer, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Some milestones in the Office of Management and Budget's mobile strategy remain elusive more than a year after it came out last May. Security is the main reason some Federal IT execs are hesitant about the mobile revolution.
Government Executive
A 1 percent pay raise kicks in for civilian federal employees Jan. 1, according to a plan President Barack Obama released Friday. You might be surprised to hear it's meeting a lukewarm reception.
Former E-gov Administrator
"Protect your passwords" has a whole new meaning for former E-gov administrator at OMB, Karen Evans. After years of warning people about strong passwords and other security best practices, Evans learned the hard way about security. She tells her story and how you can learn from it.

In early models, the alternator/fan belts and bearing at the pulley must be correct. Updated parts are required for the alternator/fan pulley, as well as the belt tension monitor.
Pay close attention to secondary ignition system components (distributor caps, rotors, cables, and connectors).
The ignition distributor's internal drive belt can fail and cause misfires and performance problems. After being updated, the distributor belt requires regular inspection.
Pay close attention to warning lights and have the brakes inspected regularly—immediately address any brake problems. Hard driving habits will cause excessive brake pad and rotor wear. Aged brake fluid can cause numerous problems, including "waxy" buildup visible in the reservoir, so replace the brake fluid regularly. Special procedures are required to bleed/flush ABS pump.
The hydraulic pump relay can fail, causing the pump to run continuously, which leads to hydraulic pump failure due to overheating. Incorrect pressures will cause a low brake pedal or a high pedal effort with the possibility of other strange symptoms.
An external fluid leak may develop at the pressure switch; fluid will be evident in the trunk and the reservoir level will drop.
The brake warning display and warning gong can activate, typically after the first start of the day. The warning light/gong might stop after idling for a short time. This fault is usually caused by low stored hydraulic pressure due to a failed high pressure accumulator.

Not to Worry
By Robert Higgs • Monday January 26, 2009 6:09 PM PDT •
It's pointless if you make a fuss
About Obama's stimulus.
The government's determined, see,
To rescue the economy.
Paul Krugman's here to point the way
Toward a bright and shining day,
When everyone will be employed
And all consumers overjoyed.
The Fed's enormous loans will serve
To calm the frightened banker's nerves,
And Congress will serve pork and beans
To cronies fat, to peasants lean.
* * *
We've no need to panic, the world's in good hands.
Financial details, Old Ben understands.
He'll huff and he'll puff, and he'll spew dollars out,
He won't stop to rest till he's quelled every doubt
That dollars created from thin air each session
Are all that we need to steer clear of depression.

NEW ORLEANS, La. -
The Providence College men's and women's cross country teams continue high marks in the USTFCCCA national and regional polls. The women dropped to a fourth place ranking in the national poll, while remain the team to beat in the Northeast regional poll.
Today (Oct. 22) both the men and the women remained in the top-20 teams in the nation. The men now hold a No. 19 ranking in the national poll and a fourth place ranking in the region.
After spending five weeks in the No. 1 spot, the women fell to a fourth place ranking after a third place finish at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational. The women faced 16 of the top-30 teams in the nation, including six top-10 teams. Providence earned a third place bid with three top-10 finishers at the meet.
The men also competed at the Wisconsin Adidas invitational, where the team placed 12th out of 36 teams. The Friars faced 19 other top-30 teams and five top-10 teams at the meet. Providence was led by junior Shane Quinn (Waterford, Ireland), who claimed a ninth place finish among some of the nation's top runners.
The Friars are back in action Friday, Oct. 25, when both the men and the women will send competitors to the CCSU Mini Meet in New Britain, Conn. It will be the final meet before the Friars head to the BIG EAST Championships in Kenosha, Wis. on Nov. 2.

Rich G rated this product on 04/24/15 Purchased this putter back in March '15. Added the Super Stroke putter grip to it. Used for the first time on my annual golf outing to Sarasota,Fl. Put it in the bag to replace an old Odyssey white hot putter. First thing I noticed was how easy it was to align the putter to the chosen line. Undoubtedly the best 10 round stretch of putting I've ever had. The balance is good and weight is just right for me.
Don J rated this product on 03/28/15 I purchased the Pre Putter on sale and wanted to use a blade putter vs. the mallet putter I have in my bag. I just got back from a golf holiday in Thailand and used this putter the entire time I was there. On a Par 3 166 yd. hole I hit a 6 iron over the flag. This course had very fast greens, mostly down hill putting. I landed on a ridge, looking at a 25 foot downhill putt. I looked at the line and determined it was 1 cup left. I closed my feet to two inches apart. I said all I had to do was get the putt started and gravity would take over. I went from toe to toe on the putt with medium pace. I was just hoping to lag the putt within the three foot circle. The putt left the face and I looked up after it was gone. It tracked online left and I watched the line. As it got near the hole, I was just happy for it to stop in the three foot circle. It tracked left and broke about a foot to the hole and fell into the hole for a birdie. I 1 and 2 putted the rest of the round and shot a 96. I had a celebratory beer that evening at dinner with my playing partners who were amazed with my putting skills that day. Congratulations to your company for making a superior product for a very, very reasonable price. Please continue to make this putter. Cheers Don Johnson
Chris N rated this product on 02/10/14 Great putter. Both in looks and performance. Transitioning from borrowing a Daytona putter to this has been remarkable. Got it an inch long in Good used condition it arrived in perfect condition. Best of all it has changed me from a 3 putter at best to a 1 or 2. As my golf coach said that 50 percent of the game. Thanks for the excellent service!
David rated this product on 07/09/13 Solid putter, gives a nice solid roll, the right amount of weight and it won't directly send the ball flying. If you can read greens and control ur power this will give u a nice and smooth roll and you'll make putts.
Adam rated this product on 11/24/12 I have been using this putter for most of the 2012 season, and I love it. Compare it to the Rosa Daytona putter, and you will see they are very similar. I actually have it built as a belly putter, and it rolls very well. Easy to aim, easy to roll. If you can read greens you will make putts with this thing.

Supercomputers Need Standard Shot Glass to Measure Out Juice
By Dan Olds, Gabriel Consulting â?¢ Get more from this author
The biggest challenge in getting to the next level of supercomputer performance ' Exascale ' is the massive amounts of electricity these systems will consume. On a smaller scale, energy consumption also inhibits HPC installations. The problem isn't just getting enough plugs from your walls to the grid; it's also the cost of electricity when you're guzzling it in such massive quantities.
Regardless of where you live or the deal you've cut with your local utility, megawatts of power cost mega-dough. Here in the hydropower-rich Pacific Northwest, commercial customers pay around 10 cents per kilowatt hour, and industrial users pay about 6.5 cents for the same juice (although that's an 'interruptible' rate ' which is probably a deal-breaker for HPC installations). At a dime per KWh ($100 per MWh), the annual cost per megawatt comes in at $876,000.The average energy consumption of the top 10 systems on the Top500 list is 4.8 megawatts, meaning an average bill of around $4.2 million. The K computer, at the top of the list, consumes 12.6 megawatts, which would cost more than $11m per year if it was relocated somewhere near my house.
The point is that big energy usage means huge costs. The industry is well aware of this, of course, and is intent on designing processors, I/O, storage and other components that provide higher flops per watt. But verifying and quantifying these gains accurately is a problem at both the data centre and individual system level.
We know how to measure energy consumption; it's not rocket science, even when measuring the consumption of systems that actually do rocket science. The problem is two-fold. First, there aren't enough organisations measuring their real-world energy consumption. Second, there are multiple ways to measure juice use ' methods that vary in scope of measurement and also accuracy.
Enter the Energy Efficient High Performance Computing Group (EE HPC WG). They've pulled together a set of industry players ranging from very large HPC installations like the US-based Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, industry trackers like the Top500, Green500 and GreenGrid folks, along with reps from the vendor community ' all with the goal of figuring out the best way to measure IT energy consumption.
In the webcast we talk with Natalie Bates, chairperson of the EE HPC WG, and Erich Strohmaier, a co-author of the Top500 and head of Future Technologies at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, about the progress their group has made toward providing the industry with an energy measurement blueprint. It's a thoughtful and interesting conversation and a good preview for what's coming down the road.

Mixed Rulings on the Affordable Care Act
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Within hours yesterday, two circuit courts ruled in opposite directions on the legality of health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. We discuss which ruling will have the most lasting impact, and how Obamacare is doing in general with Sarah Kliff, senior editor at Vox.
Guests:Sarah Kliff
Comments [28]
Voters: Administration incompetent at governing
FOX NEWS POLL: Voters say Obama exceeded authority, but oppose impeachment
FOX NEWS POLL: Two-thirds say administration not most transparent ever
Andy, I'm not sure why someone would ever think that an Anthem plan on the exchange would be the same as one purchased on the open market. That's just clueless. Along those lines one would think the gold, silver and bronze would all cost the same for the same services. dude, WAKE UP!
I was on telephone hold to comment about how ObamaCare is working out for me.
I had an Anthem health insurance plan in 2013. It was cancelled, as I'm self-employed. When I purchased a new plan on the exchange, I selected Anthem in part because I did not want to risk losing my current doctors.
In early 2014, I made an appointment with one of my current doctors. I knew that he took Anthem ... but when I arrived at his office, I learned that he takes Anthem if purchased privately, but NOT Anthem if purchased on the exchange!
Is it an accurate speculation that doctors may be paid LESS by Anthem if a policy is exchange purchased? If so, the doctors will not want to spend their time with exchange patients. And exchange coverage would therefore NOT be equivalent to full private coverage. This was never part of the public awareness when we set up the new health care law.
@RUCB_Alum, this has nothing to do with changes in congress. The real problem is things like a public option do not have huge lobbies to pay for campaigns and fund raising. The law was passed with no opposition support, so how could supporting Obama more have made it better? It would have passed with a ticker tape parade instead of the dark of night? The problem is we shouldn't have supported bad legislation just because it came out of a party we identify with for other reasons. Why has it become impossible to be critical of one's own party? or even have a real investigative press (instead of a headline, click centric one) to keep people honest.
The law didn't anticipate that some states would choose not to set up exchanges.
MD, if we passed a law that required all Insurance companies to be not-for-profit, so they pay no dividends to investors, a lot of costs would go down. Right now insurance companies are getting too much and putting out too little.
"Health Care could very easily change in this Country but it doesn't because the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies..."
Not when the voters let the opposition take over the House with their fearmongering and racial hatreds. The time to support Obama was in November 2010 and 20 million 2008 voters JUST STAYED HOME. We brought this upon ourselves through voter apathy.
I believe that this November will be far different than 'usual'.
Oh crap, I just realized open enrollment starts in November but the plans you enroll in don't actually kick in until 2015. If I get bankrupted by medical bills in those three months I've lost insurance thanks to Obamacare I'm finding a Republican activist group to sue the government for me. I don't care how mean spirited Republicans may be in their day to day, the enemy of Obamacare is my friend.
I'm not sure who believes that they could know how this ACA would work just by reading it on paper, in a law. It really did have to be put into law and into effect to know what would happen. Now that we know, so let's pass some amendments to make it better. But, there's no going back to the terrible system we had before. We all have to man up and buy in, and stop counting on the ER room as our primary physician.
Health insurance does not equal health care. So many of my patients pay very much for monthly premiums, and have very high copays or deductibles on top of that. They are also not able to see 80% of the specialists that I have been able to refer them to in the past because of restricted plans. Many are not coming in for visits because of the increased personal costs. Now Blue Cross Blue Shield has applied to increase their rates by 18% next year. The insurance companies seem to be the only ones benefiting.
Can the Affordable Care Act lead to a cure for the vocal fry epidemic? How ironic that SK is sr ed at Vox, considering her own vox could use some editing.
In September my health insurance costs will go up by 30% thanks to Obamacare which will make it unaffordable for me. Then two months later when "open enrollment" starts I can shop around and look for subsidies I guess. Hopefully I won't get hit by a bus in September or October...I think the only people who actually like Obamacare are people who already have health insurance through their employer or maybe they're 55 years old with a bunch of pre-existing conditions. The whole things feels like some kind of tax on the young to pay for old obese smokers who probably never even had to take out a student loan to pay for college. Obama is killing me man, first he passed Mitt Romney's idiotic "free market" based healthcare program and then even though Americans are struggling to afford it he wants to take in anyone who shows up on the border hat in hand. You can't even provide healthcare to your own citizens in a orderly and affordable manner!
Jeff, you come off as so well-to-do that sympathy for you is going to be hard to come by buddy. Good for you that you own a home. others are jealous. not sure why you deserve any break at all. And, the last thing this country needs is for us poorer people to be paying you ER bill. buy a plan and move on.
My complaints have been solely with the utterly dysfunctional NYS exchange. I was told by the website that 3 providers are in the plan I chose only to be told later that they're not. There was a *state* cutoff for switching plans but the plans and providers themselves can change things whenever they want, so, as a NY Times article reported, hospital networks are opting out of insurance plans--with their docs and other services--to play hardball on rates. That leaves patients flapping in the winds. Bottom line: the profit motive is causing outrageous harm to patients.
One issue is whether a law is what the IRS, an agency, says it is, or whether it is what the law reads. It's again a situation of executive over-reach. But O-care has slipped through uncannily by the skin of its teeth, and might keep doing so.
@Seth, I think his point was they should have read it before hand to see all the issues and explain it to the public in detail before it was passed, unlike what Mrs. Pelosi sadly said, "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it..."
One question I have is, if the bill always intended for everyone to be a part of the exchanges and not just states, then why does the language of the bill only list States? The plain language of the bill is pretty obvious - didn't anyone proofread??
My problem with new health care law is the ins Co
Tripled the cost
I do get a subsidy but on the low end border
With Medicare
and I own my home so if I am forced to take Medicare
The govt can take $ fromy estate
So I tweaked my income tone HIGHER
so I could pay something in
This is ridiculous
@john from office - that is the most ridiculous hate filled and pointless rant I have seen in a long time. Great way to have an inclusive conversation. so you cannot find fault with the glorious ACA? (truth be told I would like single payer), I wont even acknowledge your other BS which is used as a cop out for anyone who may disagree with what the President does. Also, if you find nothing wrong with the executive branch making changes to legislation single handed or deciding which laws to enforce, I will hold you to feeling the same way when the parties switch. I know I wouldn't like it, but perhaps it is rare to think beyond the red team, blue team gag that is going on.
Obama Care is a joke! It's too expensive, I can't afford it, just like regular old health care, the only difference now is I will be fined by the government for not having it, lovely!
Open your eyes John from the office, the Democrats and the Republicans are the same, they don't care about us, they care about money, power and control. Those fools are in "The War of the Roses" type divorce and We The People are the children stuck in the middle being destroyed by their egos!!
Health Care could very easily change in this Country but it doesn't because the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies are inherently corrupt and the politicians are bought and paid for by them, both Republicans and Democrats are bought and paid for equally... full stop!!
If you work for Uncle Sam, Doctor Sam will take care of you. The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program lists 38 plans it approves. No fooling around with those exchanges, either: "If you are covered through the FEHB Program, you will not need a Marketplace plan." And the government will pay 72% of your premium.
Here are some of the benefits offered.
• Guaranteed coverage that your plan can't cancel
• No waiting periods, medical examinations or restrictions because of age or physical condition Catastrophic protection against unusually large medical bills
• Continued group coverage into retirement or while you are receiving Workers' Compensation
• Continued group coverage for your family
The GOP saying 'No!' apparently goes deeper than the members of Congress. Now, it has hit the judiciary - which the GOP senators are filibustering like mad to keep RED! Where's the outrage over judicial activism. You won't hear any from hypocritical FoxNews.
There IS NO DOUBT when the full circuit hears the case that this ruling will be reversed.
What a way to run a country.
It's really hard to listen Sarah Kliff talk. Her style of streaching some sounds is quite irritating.
"a law that no one has read"
oh please, that is such clap-trap. if any elected official has not read the healthcare law by now, it's on them. They've had plenty of time, so if they haven't read it, you're a fool for re-electing them.
Had to turn the radio off - guest's croaky vocal frying turns her words into white noise.
This is what happens when a law that no one has read gets passed by the Congress. Imbeciles.
Oh please Ed. The GOP has attacked Obama Care, also know as AFORDABLE CARE ACT" by any way they can, but have failed to offer an alternative.
What do they propose other than opposition to the dreaded Negro president??
The same plan they hate was originally proposed by the GOP and your hero Mitt Romney in Mass. All this is is an effort to not give Obama any success because he is too Off white.
Other then letting people die, starve,live in Carboard boxes or self deport, what does the GOP propose? Thats it, let the sick in the USA self deport to Mexico and Canada, no true American gets sick! So tired of GOP lies, makes Putin seem honest.
Your other Hero Rick Perry, he of the new metro sexual, hipster glasses sent down the national guard to "protect" the border. The Texas National Guard is, like the border patrol, is made up of hispanic officers. Perry sent immigrants to keep out immigrants! Another anti intellectual GOP clown.
At Least he agrees with you on evolution, that foolish idea. The world, Ed is 2000 years old.
This case will no doubt end up at the Supreme Court, President Obama might regret having annoyed them.

Ever wondered why the late George Best was so universally popular? The guy was, after all, a chronic alcoholic and a serial womaniser; hardly your archetypal 'role model.'
Yet it was this very dichotomy - the extraordinary sportsman, but very ordinary man with all-too-human feelings and failings - that endeared the Manchester United and Northern Ireland football maestro to millions.
Bestie, who died four years ago aged 59, was many things - gifted, intelligent, witty, charming, charismatic, unreliable, frustrating, occasionally hurtful - but hypocritical? Never.
What you saw with George was exactly what you got. He didn't pretend to be someone else; moreover, he never wanted to be anyone else.
As a former sports editor of this newspaper, I've written many articles about the Belfast Boy. A few about Tiger Woods, too, the most memorable being seven years ago following the Open Championship at Muirfield.
I say 'memorable', not because the piece was anything special, but because of the outrage it prompted from the superstar's fans.
And here's why: among other things, it had the temerity to suggest that Woods might not be the god some people would have you believe; that within the undoubtedly sublime golfer could well lie a rather ordinary human being whose pristine, flawless image was manufactured by his agents and maintained by a group of toadying, sycophantic, fawning disciples in the media.
At that time, you didn't have to look too far for examples of this deification; as Tiger's Open challenge petered out on a disastrous third day on the Scottish links, the following gems were trotted out:
l"Tiger can be anything he wants to be" - one expert's reasoned view on news that bookies were taking bets on Woods becoming US President;
l"Woods is unbeatable at majors" - another's rather ironic assessment of a player who, at that particular stage of his career, was anything but invincible in those tournaments;
l"It's not about winning The Open, it's all about beating the Tiger" - and there was me thinking that, for anyone who has ever lifted a nine iron, it WAS all about winning The Open;
l"If anyone can master the elements, it's Woods" - spoken on a day when many of other competitors DID master the elements, and Tiger shot a calamitous 10 over par 81 in the howling wind;
l"In the end, it was Mother Nature who beat Tiger" - the informed view of former Open champion Nick Faldo, who conveniently forgot to mention that ultimate winner Ernie Els - and 26 other mere mortals - had actually finished ahead of the American.
l"No one had prepared better for this tournament than Tiger Woods" - yet another subjective, non-scientific - and patently inaccurate - comment being passed off as fact by the myopic, tunnel-visioned acolytes, who liked nothing more than to smear the billionaire in hyperbolic honey.
It's rather ironic, now the shimmering halo has slipped, the mistresses (or 'birdies') are crawling out of the rough and the headlines are getting more lurid, that many of those same commentators are falling over themselves to explain that, actually, they always knew 33-year-old Woods was a far-from-flawless character. That probably says a lot more about them than it does about him.
It also reveals what a magnificent job his image-conscious agents IMG and Nike have done since Eldrick Tont Woods was a mere cub.
There was an early threat to the wholesome, butter-wouldn't-melt persona when the young, handsome Californian gave an interview to Esquire magazine, which noted that he was actually a foul-mouthed individual with a penchant for obscenity and blasphemy.
That was over 12 years ago - and no one has been granted similar access since.
The damage was quickly repaired, with Tiger aggressively repainted as the clean-cut, polite, modest, saintly, all-American boy-next-door-type everyone would want their daughter to marry.
Ultimately, Scandinavian au pair Elin Nordigren was given the honour and she bore him two cute children. His relentless pursuit of Jack Nicklaus's 18-majors haul continued and the money, lucrative endorsements - and compliments - kept pouring in.
But sex-crazed Tiger harboured a plethora of guilty little secrets, and now the prowling cat, so to speak, is out of the bag, the image tarnished beyond repair.
Woods' subsequent, clumsy and rather belated mea culpa about 'transgressions' throughout his five-year marriage did little to limit the damage; if anything it made things worse, coming across as the arrogant bleatings of an aloof man more irritated at being caught than genuinely remorseful about the pain he has brought upon his wife and family.
We'll never really know why famous, fabulously wealthy people do these things because, frankly, most of us are not famous and fabulously wealthy ourselves and cannot fully comprehend the mindset of those who, to quote from rock band Dire Straits' biggest hit, get their money for nothing and their chicks for free.
Perhaps they do it simply because they can and because, at that stratum of society, it's a lot easier to succumb to temptation than resist it.
The man who has been the world's number one golfer for a staggering 576 weeks is merely the latest in a long line of talented and apparently clean-cut sportsmen we thought were too good to be true - and ultimately discovered we were right.
Think, for instance, of Canada's short-lived pride and joy as their rags-to-riches hero Ben Johnson became the fastest-ever human at the Seoul Olympics, only to have their illusions lacerated two days later than he was revealed as a lying, steroids-addled drug cheat?
Or the humiliation of the South Africans on finding out their finest sporting ambassador Hansie Cronje, charismatic captain of the Springboks cricket team, born-again Christian, loving family man and all-round good egg, was really a corrupt, match-fixing, money-grabbing, ungodly, carousing monster. Dare I mention tennis star Andre Agassi?
Ultimately, Woods will probably weather this particular storm better than the one that famously knocked him off course at Muirfield back in 2002.
Although he is supposedly "unbeatable at majors", he has won only two of the last 10 - but has more than enough time to get the five needed to confirm his standing as the greatest golfer of all time.
That's really all he's ever wanted to be remembered for - but, unfortunately for him, the Tiger legacy will now contain other, rather more unseemly, baggage.
He cheated not only his wife and family, but millions of others around the world. It's not something they'll easily forget.

The Red Sox sign Jose Contreras and Brandon Lyon
Jul 19, 2013, 4:02 PM EDT
It's all Red Sox news this afternoon, apparently.
Back when Jose Contreras came here a decade ago as a highly sought after free agents, the Red Sox wanted him. The Yankees got him. The Red Sox showed their patience however and finally got their man!
Jose Contreras and Brandon Lyon signed to minor league deals by Red Sox.
— Ian Browne (@IanMBrowne) July 19, 2013
Contreras was just released by the Pirates yesterday. There he toiled for Indianapolis, but he toiled quite well, posting a 0.93 ERA and 24/5 K/BB ratio in 19 innings at Triple-A. Given that the Red Sox could use a starter it makes sense that they'd take a chance on him before actually giving up some talent for someone else out there in the market.
Lyon is another decade-ago guy. Except it was a decade ago that he actually played for the Sox. He's late of the Mets where he's not had the best of years, but an arm is an arm.

shouldn't you be worried about preseason hockey? I mean your team lost again, 5 games below .500, no chance at a playoff spot AGAIN!!

NASHVILLE, TN - APRIL 1: Clint Dempsey #8 of the United States applauds during a FIFA 2010 World Cup Qualifying match against Trinidad and Tobago on April 1, 2009 at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee. The United States defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3-0. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Clint Dempsey scored his first goal at White Hart Lane as Tottenham started the new year with a 3-1 victory over Reading to help Andre Villas-Boas' men move up to third in the Barclays Premier League . Tottenham were caught cold in the fourth minute when Pavel Pogrebnyak scored in his second successive game, but the lead lasted just over four minutes. The impressive Gylfi Sigurdsson crossed for Michael Dawson to score his first league goal since February 2011 and Spurs then took control of the game in the second half thanks in no small part to the influence of Lennon. With Gareth Bale out of the team through suspension, Lennon was give the chance to take centre stage and he grasped it with both hands. The England winger, who gave veteran defender Ian Harte no end of trouble all afternoon, crossed to allow Emmanuel Adebayor to put Spurs ahead in the second half and Clint Dempsey's deflected effort 11 minutes from time sealed the win. Villas-Boas, who struggled to win over the Sp...

text: The Nikita Khrushchev wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 11/27/13 09:19PM View full history Nikita Khrushchev was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, as well as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Premier, Prime Minister) from 1958 to 1964.He was born in 1894 and took part as a junior officer in the Russian Civil War (1917-1923), fighting on the side of the Red Army. He served in various administrative positions after the end of the war. He was among the highest-ranking bureaucrats at the time of Joseph Stalin's death in 1953. Lavrenty Beria, Minister of Internal Affairs and head of State Security, attempted to become the de facto successor of Stalin. But Beria was feared by most others cabinet members and Khrushchev managed to unite them against him. Beria was denounced, arrested and later executed.Nikita manage to be elected as the next General Secretary and proceeded in a campaign of de-Stalinisation of the Soviet Union. Nikita placed an emphasis on the production of consumer goods and modernization of the Soviet agriculture techniques. He sought popular support by organizing cultural and sport events, promoting classical musicians, filmmakers and ballet stars and opening the Soviet Union to foreign visitors. Foreign movies, books, art and music were introduced to the Soviet public at an unprecedented rate as censorship policies became less strict. The Soviet space program reached its heights as an effort to establish a reputation for Soviet scientific capabilities.However abroad there were recurring tensions with both the United States and the People's Republic of China, despite his motto of "peaceful co-existence" . He crushed the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 allowed fort he building of the Berlin Wall. The Wall which became both an instrument and the most famous symbol of the ongoing Cold War in Europe. On the positive side Soviet troops were withdrawn from Romania and close ties to Egypt and Yugoslavia were established.His downfall essentially came from his erratic policies in pursuing reforms of party structures and personnel. While the reforms were supposed to improve administrative and economic efficiency, their high frequency and often contradictory nature only served to spread confusion among party ranks. Since many party and army officials were already worried about securing their positions, the time for a coup had come. Leonid Brezhnev (Chairman of the Presidium, head of state of the Soviet Union), Alekshand Shelepin (First Deputy Prime Minister) and Vladimir Semichastny (Head of the Soviet Committee of State Security, KGB) worked together to overthrow him. Nikita was dismissed from all positions and forced into "honorary" retirement.Nikita remained a Party member and not an ordinary citizen. He was initially under house arrest but was later allowed to have a social life. He died of a heart attack in 1971.

West Hartford, Connecticut – Colt congratulates sponsored shooter Mark Redl on taking first place in the Custom Defensive Pistol Division at the New England Regional IDPA Championship. Redl scored 277.82 match points in the CDP Master Class, with 82 points down. This victory also increases Redl's lead in his division for the 2014 King of New England title, which he looks to claim again after his victory in 2013.
"We are all very excited for Mark and another outstanding win," said Joyce Rubino, Vice President of Marketing for Colt's Manufacturing Company. "It is wonderful to see him continue to put in the hard work and get closer to achieving his goal of repeating his King of New England CDP Division title. Colt's Manufacturing Company is also proud to have been a sponsor of this popular IDPA match."
The King of New England series pulls scores from four stages, plus one alternate stage, at three of New England's IDPA competitions. The four stages from the New England Regional Championship that count towards the King of New England rankings are stages one, three, six and seven, with stage 10 as the alternate. Redl finished first in his division in three out of the four stages.
"This match was an extremely technical one, with very tight shots," said Redl. "I relied on a Colt Combat Elite factory gun to navigate through each stage with precision and match-grade accuracy. I am ecstatic about the win and look forward to the final match in the King of New England series in October."
The New England Regional Championship is the second match of the three-leg concurrent King of New England series. It took place August 16 and 17 at the Harvard Sportsmen's Club in Harvard, Mass. The first leg was the Massachusetts State Championship in June, and the third and final leg is the New Hampshire Live Free or Die Blockbuster State Championship in October.

i have a bunch of t-shirts that i never wear, but i love their graphics. came up w/ this re-con to preserve the best part of the t, but convert it to a sexy tank top!
sewing is required, and t-shirt jersey is not the easiest to work with. but, i'm pretty new to sewing, and i think this turned out great!
deconstruct- lay t-shirt flat, and cut apart as follows:
- carefully cut sleeves off body, then cut open at bottom hem
- trim away top/ collar
- cut front and back into separate pieces (allows for better fitting finished product)
neck line/ top edge:
finish the top edge of the shirt (i used a contrasting zig zag stitch for effect). you can also leave this edge raw.
the back:
- determine desired height of back panel, measuring up from preserved bottom hem (of original shirt). mine is 6 inches lower than the front piece (after finishing both edges).
- for structure/ support, finish top edge of back panel by folding/ pressing and stitching top edge w/ zig zag stitch.
shape the body- making a pattern:
- lay back and front on top of each other, right sides facing each other, and bottom edges lined up.
- trace your general curve (armpit to hip) onto some paper, then cut along curve
- use cutout to trace your curve onto t-shirt
- sew t-shirt front & back together along traced curve line (keep in mind that shirt will stretch, adjust seam to appropriate size/ shape. repeat for both sides.
next- turning ex-sleeves into the halter strap:
- trim the rounded edge off to make the longest possible 2 inch wide strips, keeping the sleeve edge intact.
fold and press, then sew the sleeve (cut edge) to reinforce the strap and create a clean line.
i used constrasting thread w/zig zag stitch so the fabric could still stretch, but didn't distort the edge overly much.
attach strap:
- front panel should be 4-6 inches taller than back panel
- strap should attach to edge of front panel, extending down to top edge of back panel
- adjust angle of strap/ shirt joining to run from outside top of back panel, along outside edge of front, to back of neck. mine was sewn to be a fixed length halter strap, but could also easily be adjustable w/ a tie behind the neck (depending on how much fabric you have)
optional: add darts to side edge as necessary/ appropriate (you will need to do this before sewing side seams). darts are helpful for adding support for bustier ladies, but are of marginal use in a stretchy t-shirt. if you do attempt them, darts should point towards nipple, but end approx 1 inch away, and should start from the bottom or side seam (for lifting effect).
my husband took this pic- apparently he was not so focused on showcasing the shirt...
but given that (despite how this pic looks), i am not shaped like a porn star (those are just b-cups!), i think the shirt turned out pretty flattering!
thanks for this!
I love it :P
And great tattoo ;D

For now, Block E is a frozen hole in the ground; downtown stores open and close, but this site remains remarkably resistant to change. As the late showing of Payback lets out across the street at the Skyway, a mostly teenage audience wanders out onto Hennepin Avenue, laughing and shivering in the bitter February night. A patrol car trolls by, slowing slightly as it passes. Perhaps these kids will eventually be able to catch the latest flicks in the mall across the street. They're going to have a long wait.

In my mind the entire record book has not changed. Maris is still the single season Home Run Champ and Hank Aaron is still the Home Run King. Take a seat Barry Bonds you have lost your privileges (don't argue with me, we all know Bonds was on the juice).
Canseco was right but don't give him credit. I think deep down we all knew these guys were all using "Performance Enhancers" before he[Canseco] blew the whistle on Major League Baseball.
The Bottom Line is...Steroids almost ruined my game. That's right "my game" of Baseball. Let's move on without prejudice. If a player tests positive again they should be gone from baseball. "Hey Man Ram, that's two strikes...one more and your gone.
