The Hump wants an annulment not a divorce. He wants Kim Kardashian to admit their marriage was a sham and she used him for ratings and publicity. Kardashian tried to bribe him with $10 million, but he said no. "Kris flatly rejected the offer because it has never been about money for him. He wants to be able to marry in a church again, with a clear conscience, when he finds someone special. Kris is deeply religious and he believes that the only way he can do that is if his marriage to Kim is annulled." As you know Kimmy is pregnant with Young Yeezy and doesn't want to have the child of another man while still being married, but it looks like Humphries is going to ensure that happens. Is he being petty? I guess it depends on if you believe they were using each other or if he was really in love with her and she played him. Only Kimmy and The Hump know the truth to that.

LAWRENCEVILLE - The cure for the summertime blues could be as simple as plenty of fluid intake and using sunscreen.With rising temperatures and the first day of summer right around the corner, children are hitting the swimming pools and playgrounds in flocks. But are they being safe? Dr. Mathew W. Pombo, an orthopedic surgeon at Gwinnett Medical Center-Duluth specializing in sports medicine, said many children and parents may not take appropriate precautions because they aren't aware of potential dangers. He agrees with the old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." "Hydration is the key to all of this," Pombo said. "A lot of this happens at home and there are things they can do to prevent this." Heat illnesses range in seriousness from mild to potentially fatal. They include heat fatigue, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and the most serious, heat stroke. During exercise, Pombo said, the body's heat production can increase by as much as 20 percent. When heat is generated by the body faster than it can be dissipated, heat illnesss occurs. Most at risk are younger children and the elderly, but everyone can benefit from easing into summer, especially in Georgia's humid, subtropical environment. "A big thing is acclimatization ... you have to get into it step-wise," Pombo said. "Spring is a great time for that when the temperatures are gradually climbing." The following tips can help you stay safe in the sun: · Modify outdoor exercise when it's really hot and humid outside. · Drink plenty of fluids before and during outdoor activity. Water will normally suffice but sports drinks (not "energy" drinks) such as Powerade will replace electrolytes and carbs lost during prolonged, strenuous exercise. · Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15 and apply it about 30 minutes before sun exposure. In addition to damaging skin, sun burns can facilitate dehydration. · Parents should educate themselves on heat illnesses and aim to prevent them rather than treat them.

Bristol Rovers boosted their survival bid as Gavin Williams struck to secure a 1-0 win at Yeovil.
Rovers rode their luck in a one-sided first half and came up with a precious second-half goal from the former Glovers midfielder.
After three successive wins a confident Yeovil went looking for goals but missed a host of chances in the first half with Oli Johnson, Dean Bowditch and Andrew Welsh all going close.
They continued where they left off at the start of the second half and a header from Craig Alcock came off the underside of the bar.
Rovers brought on Williams after an hour and he tapped in the vital goal from close range in the 76th minute after a dazzling dribble by skipper Will Hoskins.

Ever the entertainer, Novak Djokovic broke into dance to Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" after winning his opening match over Florian Mayer last night at the Rogers Cup Montreal. The World No. 1 said to honor an agreement with his friends he'll keep dancing after every win.
"It was a little agreement I had with my friends when we had vacation time a few weeks ago," said Djokovic. "This is one of the summer hits. We listened to that song quite a lot. We had a lot of dancing going on. I said, Why not? I'll do it after the first match in Montreal.
"If I keep on winning, I'll do it after every match. If I win the next one, you can expect same song but maybe little bit different dance. We'll work on it."
Djokovic has won the Canadian Open the last two years. The Serb will face the Peliwo-Istomin winner on Thursday in the third round. More dancing to come?

YIELD: Makes about 10 cups, serving 8
Make the chutney:
In a blender or food processor blend the almonds, the coconut, the jalapeño, a pinch of salt, and 1/3 cup water until the mixture is ground fine. Add the coriander and blend the mixture until it is ground fine. (This recipe makes what is known as a dry chutney, which has a slightly grainy texture.) The chutney may be made 8 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes about 1 cup.
Make the soup:
In a kettle cook the onion in the butter and the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the squash and 1/2 cup water, and cook the mixture, covered, over moderately low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Add the broth, the zest, and the juice and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 15 minutes. In a blender or food processor purée the mixture in batches and strain it through a sieve into a large bowl. The soup may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Ladle the soup into 8 bowls and garnish each serving with about a tablespoon of the chutney, to be stirred into the soup, and a coriander sprig.

Motorcycle Tire Guide 101
Uncle Loomis
Welcome to Tire School!
As you know, motorcycles are single-track vehicles, requiring a very specific set of handling characteristics to make a ride safe, enjoyable, and convenient. We're going to have a crash-course (figuratively speaking!) on tires - literally, on the area "where the rubber meets the road."
Tires are an integral component in achieving the things that makes motorcycling fun and practical. One of the things that is important to remember is that at RevZilla, we deal with a vast spectrum of customers – from sponsored racers on rockets to green rookies on Ninja 250s to someone pushing hundreds of miles daily on a Harley bagger - and that's just the street riders! Like most of the products we sell, choosing between them is a matter of understanding how you ride, being honest about your intents and abilities, and most importantly, being safe. Ask a biker who does serious mileage - form almost always follows function on the stuff that really works, be it tactics, products, or the bikes themselves. Motorcycle Tires are no exception.
Tire Time
Let's have a quick run-down of what's actually in a tire.
Basic Construction Terms
- Tread – This is the part you see that hits the road, and the part most people think about. For the most part, smoother tires work better on smooth, dry surfaces, and 'chunkier' tires work better off-road. There are special tire designs for snow, ice, and sand.
- Bead – This is the part of the tire that mates to the wheel. It is typically steel wire covered heavily in rubber. The bead has a snug fit to the wheel to prevent the wheel from sliding rotationally in the tire.
- Carcass – Briefly, this is the 'body' of the tire under the tread. Motorcycle tires are typically bias-ply or radial, which refers to how the tire is constructed. Radial tires have reinforcing belts (which are almost always steel) running from bead-to bead across the tread of the tire. Bias-ply tires have belts which are typically cords made of fiber – polyester, aramid, or fiberglass, which run from bead-to-bead on an angle of thirty to forty degrees or so. (That's the bias!)
- Sidewall – the area of the tire that bridges the tread and bead. A small part of the tire, it is vitally important – it gives the tire much of its handling and load transfer characteristics. This is the part of the tire we're talking about when we reference height, profile, or aspect ratio. Typically, a shorter sidewall yields a stiffer sidewall, which tends to flex less. To a rider, this means better handling and turning, worse bump absorption, and more difficult mounting. This section greatly contributes to the tire's role in the suspension. That's right - the tire is a suspension component!
Cracking the Code
How do you know the important stuff about a tire? Like, what's inside it, and how big it is? The tire is required by law to contain this information. It's found on the tire sidewall.
There are two ways to give tire information – alphanumeric, and metric.
A quick history lesson before we start decoding: In the old days, there was only one way to size tires – alphanumeric. Radial tires didn't exist, so there were a pretty limited number of sizes available, which made an uncomplicated system adequate. As increasingly complex tire technology was made available, it was evident a new system needed to be cooked up to provide that information to consumers and sellers, so the metric system was developed. In the days of yore, tires never really got bigger than six inches across the tread (or from rim to tire edge), too, so if a tire has a size of much larger than 150, it will never be in an alphanumeric size, because they didn't exist in the Dark Ages of Motorcycling. Don't be scared off by alphanumeric tire sizes – it's usually easy to get a great tire that will make you happy, and in a tiny way, you'll be using a tire that connects you to the old days of motorcycling.
There's an older way still of sizing tires, using tire widths in inches, but bikes requiring them are antiques at this point, like 3.00x18. If you run tires like this, give one of our Gear Geeks a call for help obtaining a set.
So here's a good breakdown of two tire sizes you might see on a tire or in a catalog:
- MT90 - 16 Load Range B
The first , a 130/90, is a common size for Harley Davidson tires. 130 represents the width across the face of the tread. This is not the same from tire to tire – each manufacturer varies slightly, and the curvature of the tire's profile can affect the overall measurement, but the tolerances are close enough that one will fit where another goes. A caveat - if you choose to deviate from the manufacturer's specs on tire size – then a given size in Brand A may not fit somewhere a Brand B tire of the same size fits.
The second tire conveys the width with the letter 'T'. Tire width charts are widely available in tire catalogs and online, so to save space, we'll omit them here. (For those curious, the 'M' indicates 'Motorcycle'. Every tire you'll run into will start with an 'M'.)
90 represents the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio, also known as profile, is the height of the sidewall. 90 is not a linear measurement – rather, as a ratio, it is a percentage of the width. Thus, this tire has a side wall height of 90% x 130mm or 117mm. Thus, sidewall heights can be the same (or very close) on two tires with different aspect ratios – if their width is different.
The next item you'll see is the rim size. Were this tire a radial, we would see a capital letter 'R' separating the aspect ratio and rim size. Since that is not the case here, you can be certain this is a bias-ply tire. Were this tire a bias-belted tire (like a bias-ply tire with additional, stiffening layers of fabric placed over the body plies), a capital letter 'B' would separate the aspect ratio and rim size. The rim size is expressed in inches. Easily enough, this has a 16-inch wheel on which the tire is mounted.
Following the tire are speed ratings and load ranges. Load ranges give the maximum weight a tire can carry, and speed ratings list the maximum speed at which the maximum load can be carried. Charts to find a given load or speed for a particular letter or number again are available in a multitude of places, so we're not including them here. If you cannot find one – just ask us for help!
There's one more tire 'code' called the service description, and we'll talk about it quickly in a little bit. It's not universal to the information given on a sidewall, so we're not covering it here.
Am I going to get the right tire? There is so much information!
We know! That's why we tried to create something like these crib notes - to give you some help. We're going to keep addressing your individual needs as they arise, but our customers have brought us some humdingers that we've gotten more than once, so we're going to try and cover the ones we get most often.
The most important thing to remember when selecting a tire is something each of our Gear Geeks absorbs to the core, and we encourage our customers to take the same stance: We always will err on the side of safety. Many of our customers will ask, "Can I…" followed by some deviation from standard practice. Motorcyclists are a dynamic and innovative group. Some ideas kicked off by lone amateurs have been fantastic. Some have caused injury or death. We at RevZilla understand that there are folks who will forge ahead with their own research and ideas, and take responsibility for their actions. We also respect the rights of each motorcyclist to choose what modifications they are comfortable making to their respective machines.
Unfortunately, because we are unable to quickly evaluate every customer's abilities and judgment through simple phone and email contacts it is RevZilla's stance to only recommend tires that are original size, speed rating, load rating, and construction as the original equipment manufacturer's. We explain to each customer on a personal basis why we don't suggest tire modifications from stock, and why we will not deviate from that practice. If it helps, consider this: the big-name manufacturers pay very educated engineers a lot of money to figure out what their machines need to handle safely and spectacularly. The combined wisdom at RevZilla is vast and deep, but we'd never have the hubris to say that we figured something out the manufacturer missed.
Without further ado, here's the FAQ!
What's the widest tire I can fit on my bike?
- Boy, if only it was that easy! There's a reason that there's not a common list of stuff that will fit on a given bike – most people don't sit around their shop with a stack of tires trying to fit different ones onto their wheels. A lot of things need to be taken into account when changing a tire size.
- Tires 'grow' at speed – temperature and centrifugal force cause a spinning tire to be measurably larger than one at rest. Tires need clearance in many dimensions. Tires that are too wide can hit swingarms, chains, or driveshafts. Tires that are too large in circumference change gearing ratios and speedometer readouts, and can contact fenders or swingarms. They also may begin shedding water in inconvenient ways –soaking a driver or passenger.
- Wide tires are not necessarily a better thing. They universally 'turn in' worse than a skinnier tire of the same make and model, and usually hurt fuel mileage. If a rear tire is made wider and the front not adjusted for, rears have the tendency to 'push'; effectively making the rider fight to guide the vehicle into a turn.
The designers who engineer bikes usually are highly trained, and they apply that training to find a tire combination that accents a vehicle's virtues, and minimizes its shortcomings. It's become very difficult in recent years to beat them at their own game. With all that said, some tire manufacturers have their own 'plus sizing' - tire sizes larger than stock that have been a confirmed fit. Keep in mind that a tire that fits is not necessarily a tire that handles or performs better. In fact, it's likely to be quite the opposite.
Can I mix radial and bias? What's the difference? Does it matter? My bike came with bias, can I use radial or vice-versa?
Well, again – we at RevZilla respect a customer's right to choose. However, if asked, we only recommend sticking with a manufacturer's recommended tire construction type.
To be brief, radial tires offer lower temperatures (leading to longer life), stiffer construction, and the ability to make tires with lower aspect ratio sidewalls, resulting in less flex.
Bias-ply tires offer a softer, more compliant ride and typically, a little lower price. Their other main advantage is load-carrying capability: in a given size, you'll typically see a bias handle weight better. It explains why Harley (a big player in the heavy-cruiser market!) and certain touring bikes use them.
Interestingly, for some manufacturers, a mix of bias and radial tires are factory equipment. You'll see the mix with radial rear and bias front tires, but we do not know of any combinations in reverse. Anecdotally, folks have run mixed tires with success in the past. However, most riders doing such a thing are usually aware of what they're doing, hyper-vigilant about the fact that something negative could occur, and experimenting with a specific performance characteristic as an end goal. With that said, RevZilla does not have a problem with a mix of radial and bias-ply tires, as long as that mix is in keeping with the OEM recommendations, and the tires are in their correct OEM positions (Bias front, radial rear).
Can I put a tubeless tire (denoted by 'TL' in the tire catalog) on a spoked rim or do I need to stick to a tube-type (denoted by 'TT' in the tire catalog)? Can I run a TT tire without a tube? Can I reuse my old tubes?
Great question. For you rookies out there: Spoked rims will leak air if the tires mounted to them do not have a tube installed in them to hold the air. The nipples where the spokes mate to the rim are not airtight. A notable exception to this rule is the edge-spoked rims commonly found on BMW GS-series bikes – they are the one spoked wheel we're aware of that can run a tubeless tire. Alloy rims typically are tubeless – but not always! Again – check the manufacturer's spec to see what your customer's bike needs installed on it. Many early 80's Japanese bikes ran tube-type alloy rims – some bikes even specified a tube-type front setup and a tubeless rear! Tube-type tires are not designed to be airtight, because the manufacturer knows they'll be run with an airtight tube.
Let's talk about each situation specifically:
Tubeless tire with tube: The bead seat designs on the wheels are typically designed differently than tube-specific wheels. The beads may or may not lock, especially in a low-air situation. It's also common to have different beads on the same motorcycle's front and rear wheels. The other big stinker here is that the speed rating is null and void – the extra layer of tube now allows the tire to heat to an unknown level. Bottom-line: Don't do it! If you do, tread with caution - the tire can run lots warmer. Keep an eye on things, and take plenty of time to get familiar with how the machine handles after the change.
Tube-type tire with no tube: Good luck getting it to seal! It's going to leak like crazy. Spoked wheels are the vast majority of wheels requiring tubed tires, and with the exception of BMW's edge-spoked wheels, it needs a tube to hold air. The BMW bikes so equipped will typically spec a tubeless tire. If a tubeless was installed on an alloy rim from any other bike (or a regular center-spoked BMW wheel), again, the bead may differ, depending on the wheel. Because the tire was never designed to run without a tube, no one can guarantee how the tire will perform. Bottom line: Don't do it.
Reusing old tubes: Not a great idea. In tubeless tires, the valve stem is replaced at every tire swap. The brass corrodes. Seeing as how the valve is built into the tube, that in and of itself is reason enough to replace the tube. Tubes do not represent significant cost in regards to a tire purchase. Rubber also hardens as it heat-cycles – the process of going from cold to hot and back to cold again. (This process occurs every time you ride your bike.) After so many heat cycles, what is supposed to be soft, pliable, rubber turns brittle. Bottom line: Don't do it. Replace the tubes with the tires.
The one possible exception RevZilla takes into account is someone traveling to a super-remote area on tubeless rims. If they had tubeless tires, and wanted to bring a set of corresponding tubes, it might get you out of a jam if a tire plug or patch proved insufficient in the event of a damaged tire. However, their rims could be detrimental for the tubes, being radiused incorrectly. It would work as an 'in a pinch' solution for someone bound for an area that had no parts readily accessible or needed to get out of a jam.
What size tube do I need? How do I know what stem style I need?
Easy enough – here's a conversion chart! All tubes have a standard valve stem.
As far as fitting a valve stem to a tubeless wheel, there are two types – 8mm and 10mm. 10mm is by far the most popular size – it's used by all the Japanese manufacturers and HD; they're usually a simple rubber "pull-through' automotive style. The 8mm weirdo size is used by some BMWs and Buell – it's a "nut-in-place" design.
My bike came with XYZ load/speed rating, but the tires I want to get are ABC load/speed, is this ok?
Well, funny question to ask. Normally, a downgrade in load/speed rating is a poor idea – and as such, we don't recommend it at RevZilla. Maximum load and speed ratings are anticipated by the manufacturer, and the tires specified as OEM were chosen after plenty of research – the bike needs that equipment to perform with the loads it was designed to bear and at the speeds it is capable of running at. Keep in mind, too, that tire cross-section varies by load rating. Bikes requiring quicker steering have tires that have a pointed, 'V-shaped' cross-section, whereas bikes with less lean requirement have a gentler 'U-shaped' profile to maximize load carrying and tire-wear capabilities.
Upgrading a speed or load rating won't hurt anything, but can give a worse ride due to sidewall stiffeners being added to the tire. If you're looking to upgrade the load rating, make sure the bike is capable of bearing the load as well! Factory-spec tires should be capable of handling the load the bike is approved to carry. If the load weight is going beyond what the bike is designed for, most likely the tires are not the only weak point – other parts can break, too! Choose motorcycle tires - and gear you're bringing - wisely, and load their bike appropriately.
When considering weights, do not forget the weight of driver, passenger, and fluids. Japanese bike manufacturers are notorious for considering folks to be featherweights. Driver and passenger weights that are over the manufacturer's assumed rider/passenger weight need to be subtracted from the cargo hauling weight by equal amounts when figuring load carrying capability.
Upgrading speed ratings is one area RevZilla gives the thumbs-up to changing from OE. A higher speed rating is rarely detrimental to a motorcycle from a safety perspective. However, one will often give up fuel mileage or tire life. We recommend sticking to the OE speed rating, but upgrading is permissible, provided you know that other riding characteristics could be affected.
Downgrading a speed rating is never a bright idea. An item of note: It is the "top speed" of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which defines the maximum speed at which you should ride. So if a customer has a 'V' & 'Z' rated tire, the bike as a whole is limited to the maximum speed of the V-rated tire. Another item of note: Any tire that has been repaired loses all speed rating.
What does the B, C, E, etc… after the tire size mean?
If you see a letter and number combo listed after a tire size, that is a tire 'service description'. Like '67H', for example. Service descriptions all have a load and speed index, which are easily converted from a number of commonly available tables. There is also additional, optional information which can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. It's sometimes information that the tire producer gives to further clarify what the tire belongs on, or what job the tire was designed to do.. Often, a letter will indicate a reinforced tire for greater carrying capacity, or slightly different tread designed specifically for a model of motorcycle. Michelin Pilot Road 3s are a good current example of this – the 'B' service description denotes a tire with extra sidewall stiffeners added. Because there is no current requirement for this information, if you are unsure what a service description means, consult your friendly Gear Geek for clarification.
Can I run a Michelin in the front and a Pirelli in the back?
There are rare instances where the OEM tires are mixed brands, but for the most part, this is not so. RevZilla recommends replacing tires with the tire manufacturer's recommended match front or rear. Often, a manufacturer will recommend a different model of tire for front and rear, and we will follow that recommendation. Unless a bike was equipped with two different tires from the factory, we do not recommend mixing tire brands because differences in tire handling and performance can cause an otherwise well-behaved motorcycle to act in an unpredictable, unsafe manner. In fact, batch variations from one run of a tire to the next run of the same model tire can even have differences. It's best to stick with the tire maker's recommendations - they engineered their tires to work with a partner. You paid for all that engineering, why not use it?
How can I make sure I don't receive an old tire? Does it matter?
Yup! It does! RevZilla recommends an inspection by a trained tire professional at five years of service, and a definite replacement regardless of mileage at ten years of service. On the sidewall of every tire there is a DOT code. The code starts with 'DOT' and ends with a mishmash of numbers which tell many things, including the date of manufacture and plant it was produced in. We are interested in the last block of numbers. If there is a three-digit number in the final block of numbers, the tire was produced prior to 2000 and needs to be replaced! A four-digit number will reference the week of production in the first two digits, and the year in the last two. For example, 4209 as the final four characters in the DOT code indicate that the tire was made in the forty-second week of 2009.
We do not guarantee motorcycle tires to be of a certain age. However, be assured that our stock rolls over really frequently, and you will be getting a tire of very recent production.
What are the chances of my tire being defective? Are chatter/wobble/wear/tread issues caused by a defective tire?
Well, you could have a defective tire. Or maybe a defective install. It's hard to say without having the situation assessed by a trained professional. On an anecdotal level – as a former tire installer – I would say that perhaps two percent of all tire problems were caused by truly defective tires. Chatter from a tire typically comes from normal wear and cupping, and sometimes from incorrect inflation, or a combination of those things. Wobble is almost always caused from misaligned tires, bent axles, or, most commonly, worn bearings. Tread and wear issues are usually caused from wheels having crooked installation or improper inflation.
It's hard to say what you may be facing without seeing the problem firsthand. If you want some suggestions from a Gear Geek on what could be going on with your particular tire, information about the bike, tire installation, circumstances surrounding the failure, and pictures are all really, really helpful. It's the best first step in determining if you've got a problem, and what should be done to remedy it. We maintain great relations with our tire manufacturers, so often we pick their brains. Sometimes, they know of a particular problem, and can be a real boon to us when we're trying to help you!
I ride really aggressively on the street; why shouldn't I get a track-day tire for my bike?
Because the street's not the track! Track tires often have compounds requiring very hot temperatures to 'stick' to the road that a rider – even an aggressive one – will not hit on the street. They also have different cross sections, usually inviting quicker steering, but 'twitchier' handling in a straight-ahead (street) situation: the bike tends to want to "fall over" into a turn. The tires are almost never optimized for wear, and tracks are also free of fluids and debris – unfortunately, the same cannot be said of city streets. Track tires also rarely take into account loaded riding that street bikes are frequently saddled with. There are a number of super-sticky street tires that really bridge the gap between track and street use – one of those is almost universally the best choice for the rider who asks this question.
How can I tell when my tire needs to be replaced?
Because it's flat? That would be a good replacement situation…
Let's run down a quick list of times motorcycle tires should be replaced:
- Sidewall puncture
- Unrepairable/damaged tire
- Tire with a puncture larger than ¼"
- Tire over ten years of age
- Weather-checked (cracked circumferentially) tire - often due to UV or fluorescent exposure
- Tire that has been run with exceedingly low pressure (Typically damage is seen as a circumferential ring that looks 'rubbed in')
- Tire with cuts or slices
- Tire with missing tread blocks
- Tire that is worn (less than 2/32" tread in any area)
- Tire displaying treadwear indicators
- Tire that has cross section significantly altered ('Flat' or 'pointed' tires not originally designed with that cross-section.)
- Tire that is feathered or cupped – the tire may be making noise or exhibiting a choppy ride if this condition is bad enough. Some front tire cupping is normal, but a worn tire may exhibit severe feathering.
If you're asking us this question – you probably need at least one new tire, and likely two. Given that most bikes have a tire speed rating, and repaired tires lose their speed rating; most people with any type of tire damage need a new tire. They may elect to have the tire repaired, but again, RevZilla urges our customers to stay safe and keep the tires on the bike that the manufacturer planned on you using.
That's about it - if you need help, drop us a line or give us a call; we never 'tire' of our customers!

While it hasn't been all Weiner all the time, I really do need to move on to more important stuff...like how Newt Gingrich might want to cancel any future vacations until he's as certain as we are he will never win the GOP nomination for president.
Really Newt? Why are you going to Greece NOW. Is Paul Ryan over there trying to help them out, and begging for party poopers to join him? Was not eating the deposit on your cruise worth punting a run for president?
Wow, I was once a huge fan of him running too.....sigh......Ok, back to Weiner.
The friend at Free Republic, SERKIT, who inspired this post for me shared that he is on a roll inspiring conservative bloggers following this quote regarding Weiner's marriage.
A wedding where a Jew is marrying a Muslim, officiated by an impeached President...What could go wrong?"

I've got to be honest, I'm ready to talk about something else....but this SOB brought it back to the forefront by admitting he did, in fact, Tweet his junk. Then he releases the bombshell that his wife is pregnant....so now I'm not done yet either...
10. His birth certificate shows his real first and middle names, respectively, are Oscar and Mayer...
9. He hates smart phones because they often refuse to send out his pictures.
8. Even though he's a committed Mets fan, he has been repeatedly caught "liking" The Yankees on Facebook.
7. He was one of the before models for Extense...and the only adult they ever hired for that job.
6. Every mistress, even the ones who only tweeted with him once, has received a copy of Norton's antivirus.
5. There's a rock solid reason he never shares his "tic tacs."
4. He once described his "unit" as "the only conservative bone" in his body.
3. He paid a video game company to make a computer generated version of himself that could have sex with Lara Croft...she turned him down.
2. As a teen he exposed himself so much his female classmates referred to him as "The Big Apple."
1. Weiner owns the patent to Shake Weight.

He does so many reps I can see how he builds muscle, but I don't understand why he needs a Shake Weight in the other hand...Add a comment
Yup, its true. His wife has a little Weiner in the oven...and that's how babies are made.
Somebody had to say it! :-)
Seriously though, way to rain on the parade of joy such news is supposed to bring, Anthony. Even writers of Spanish telenovelas aren't this cruel. At least it wont be yet another lie when he says he wants to spend more time with his family...I think...
Somebody...lawyer me...this twist just gave me whiplash.

Wife: Oh no, that's sad.

USA Today has an article about the need for Obama to revive his brand for the 2012 election. He lost control of it.
I'm not quite sure what that means....
But he needs to find a way to trick people again, and being half way done with his first term, "change" ain't gonna do it for him, because he'd either be asking us to change from him, or asking us to fork over what's left of our money to him.
This was inevitable. The entire campaign was built on a bill of goods, and while conservatives knew back then his rhetoric couldn't deliver results (back then = Karl Marx's birthday) the "no-news junkies" in this joint we call America are starting to figure it out.
If Obama needs a rebrand that will reenergize the country after he powered them in 2009 with a half dead battery, then I have a modest proposall that he goes with what has truly always worked...sex.
It works because in the end he's really selling a lifestyle, and nothing makes wallowing in the left's fecal politics more appealing than naked chicks who dig it.
Does PETA send in the army of unshaven, birkenstock-clad, foot soldiers when they want people to crave vegan food? No! They send in the hot naked chicks to convince people that delicious A1 should really be nothing more than a BINGO square at the Biden household.
Sex works. No other brand will get you the recognition you need better. Think about how until last week only hard-core political junkies and his constituents knew who Anthony Weiner was. Now the question on the lips of the formerly ignorant isn't who he is, but why the news media keeps forgetting to tell us his last name.
This could be a real coup for presidential politics. Instead of putting time, effort, and money into faking substance you could just send out girls who wear nothing except Obama 2012 stickers over their nipples
Ok, not her....
Really though, think about it....it makes sense. Just imagine all of the double entendre and/or innuendo-filled slogans that can fuel a campaign that breaks all the rules like it did in 2008....
Nobody whacks balls more...
I'm not calling at 3AM to give you hope.

Sure these slogans are more honest than they are flattering, but thats ok because sex clouds our ability to judge anyway. If it didn't we'd be saying "former" Congressman Weiner by now.Add a comment
The major reason conservatives can claim the moral high ground on these kinds of scandals is that we do not defend the offenders. On the other hand liberals, come hell or high water, will defend their guys to the death. Not even a confession breaks their focus.
That's why Assony Weiner refuses to resign. He won't have to because the Democrats use a moral compass points south, and I don't mean Mexico.
They stood by Bill Clinton, and they were wrong there too. This got me to realize that the comparisons between the two scandals are pretty amazing, but who did theirs better?
It looks like Weiner edges out the former president by
a nose his wiener! I know, it's not really a death match, unless the death referred to is the greatness of America as a reflection of it's "leadership."
Men, don't cheat. You're gonna get caught. That's not all, others are gonna talk...
Last week I did a post on why this matters. In it I mentioned the legion of liberals defending this guy when he wouldn't even exonerate himself.
As if the blogosphere wasn't enough, Rachel Maddow devoted a segment of her show to floating all the ways Weiner could be innocent...WHILE HE REFUSED TO PROCLAIM IT HIMSELF!
What on earth do you have to say for yourselves now liberals? I don't ask that to gloat, I ask because there was no question whatsoever he did this, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, he willfully refused to clear himself. So how proud are you all of your defending him now?
That said, I'm sure not all libs are in denial...
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
Thanks for the toon iOwnTheWorld.
Now Pelosi wants to see an ethics investigation. Thats interesting since DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants to excuse it.....Sounds to me like Nancy might be a woman scorned! ;-D
The rat should, in no uncertain terms, resign, if this investigation is the "A" to that "B" then go for it Nancy.Add a comment
San Francisco wants to vote on banning circumcisions of baby boys/anything birthed by Rosie O'Donnell, and now interest in it is spreading across the country...apparently...
(Matthew "I really really REALLY need a life") Hess has created similar legislation for states across the country, but those measures never had much traction. Now he is fielding calls from people who want to organize similar movements in their cities.
"This is a conversation we are long overdue to have in this country," he said. "The end goal for us is making cutting boys' foreskin a federal crime."
See the full story here
Don't let the NYT article fool you, this guy has followers that number in the HUNDREDS on Facebook and Twitter. So I guess it's a major victory for what he calls "intactivism" that he managed to get a sensible place like San Francisco to finally hold a vote on what he calls "genital mutilation."
Considering my assumption that the city's namesake, Mr. Francisco, means he must be the patron saint of ass backwards (pun intended), I don't know if this is a victory for this looney toon so much as the people there finally got to that item on their fringe-to-do list.
I wonder if the bill will make exceptions for people who piss them off, for example, real "intactivists" we know and love as "pro-lifers." Far be it for the foreskin lobby to prevent the most tolerant people in the world from tearing into people who disagree with them like Christmas gift wrap.
It would be super awesome if people like Hess took even half of the energy they devote to making a medical procedure that spans millenia first cousins with crimes like kidnapping, and devote it to real childrens rights, like the right to live in the first place.
How does one find a calling like this? Was making manager at McDonalds too high of a bar for someone like Hess? Did some acid trip inspire the idea that smegma could cure cancer if only there was enough of it?
Honestly libs, this is progressive? We've progressed so far that the only crusade left to fight is the war on foreskin? What happened to "keep your laws off my body?"
If San Francisco votes this into law, this would be the perfect opportunity to revise that slogan, for the sake of clarity, to "keep your laws off my infanticidal cravings."
There's always silver lining to a liberal crap sandwich, isn't there?
No go on banning circumcision in the people's republic of Santa Monica.Add a comment
Here's satirical conversation about Obama's view of our debt...


text: So I watched the interview with Lance Armstrong's training partner last night on 60 minutes and I was wondering. If what he was saying is true - that international cycling is rife with illegal drug use - EPO, blood doping, etc. - what about college wrestling? Does that go on in college wrestling and at the Olympic Training Center? Are guys like Brent Metcalf using these techniques? Perhaps not the exact same things - wrestling is not an endurance sport like cycling - but steroids? What do you think? I want to say: No.

Weeping Willow is an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
While the Law & Order shows routinely draw on inspiration from real-life events in an approach the creators call "ripped from the headlines," Criminal Intent producers referred to the Weeping Willow episode as "'pre-ripping' from the headlines" because the script took a real-life event (the lonelygirl15 phenomenon) and added to it a fictional dramatic conflict (the kidnapping). The so-called "cyber-kidnapping" portrayed in Weeping Willow is believed to be the first such crime ever portrayed on television. While the writers and producers prepared the episode, several district attorneys they consulted said the law was dangerously vague in what charges could be filed in the event of such a real-life cyber-kidnapping; Wright said, "They told me that this is a real problem, that there's a lag between what's on the books now and what's happening out there."
The script also includes a difficulty on the part of the detectives in coping and dealing this new form of cyber-crime and differentiating the truth from the hoax; Leight said, "Their biggest frustration is trying to understand what's real and what isn't. Does this woman, Willow, really exist, and has something happened to her? Is she playing a character and a game that's gotten out of hand? And how do you locate someone in cyberspace?"
Julianne Nicholson, the actress who plays Detective Megan Wheeler, said Weeping Willow was her favorite Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode. She described it as "really different from a lot of the ones we've done before and very exciting and current." She also said she enjoyed working with Michelle Trachtenberg and the other supporting actors, as well as director Tom DiCillo, who directed Living in Oblivion, one of Nicholson's favorite movies.

Aggieville Business Association
1125 Laramie St.
Manhattan Kansas 66502United States
(785) 776-8050
Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
Aggieville, Kansas State University's bar and restaurant district, rocks into the wee hours and snoozes til noon.
It's a year-round block party in Aggieville, a square-mile bar-restaurant district across from Kansas State University. The neighborhood pulses strongest after hours, but during the day, shoppers frequent bookstores, coffeehouses and a few boutiques. Morro Street runs through the heart of Aggieville, anchored by Varney's, the KSU bookstore housed in a historic Art Deco-style movie theater. Enter below the flamingo-pink marquee into a purple world of Wildcat jerseys and campus gear. Across the street, Dusty Bookshelf packs tons of used books for generally half the cover price; paperbacks are $1. English majors love the tees imprinted with classic book cover designs (one of "Wuthering Heights" runs $25). As far as clothing shops in Aggieville, let's just say it's mostly bar-hopping styles. The Purple Pump has sky-high heels, but also cute flats ($30) and affordable costume jewelry. You'll find pop culture books ($10 to $50), jokester gifts, cards and fresh cut flowers at quirky Acme Gifts. Aggieville's Bluestem Bistro and Radina's coffee shops serve good pastries and sandwiches in comfy hangout spaces (free Wi-Fi). Retro cool Varsity Donuts recently opened. Kite's and Cozy Inn flip burgers. Coco Bolos cantina fuses Tex-Mex with global flavors. The So Long Saloon dishes Mexican and has an original 1800s carved bar from Wyoming.

Guillem Balague
Spanish Football Expert & Columnist @GuillemBalague
Management matters
Guillem Balague blogs on Diego Simeone's Atletico return and Jose Mourinho's half-time rant.
Last Updated: 06/01/12 3:15pm
Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague looks forward to this week's live La Liga games.
If you've got a question for Guillem, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Real Madrid v Granada
Malaga v Atletico Madrid
Villarreal v Valencia
Betis v Sporting
Espanyol v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Granada
7pm, Sat, Sky Sports HD1
Granada are handling life in La Liga quite well after a difficult start, even though most of their points come from their home games. Real Madrid, meanwhile, did very badly against Malaga in the first half of their Copa del Rey game but after the three changes at half-time, they turned it around. Jose Mourinho told them at half-time that he would have changed 11 players if he could and that they were too relaxed during the Christmas break. That hasn't been greatly received by the players and Iker Casillas defended the players while he was opening a street named after him in his home town of Mostoles, saying that Christmas was a time to be with your family.
Malaga v Atletico Madrid
9pm, Sat, Sky Sports HD1
The story as far as Atletico are concerned is the return of the prodigal son, Diego Simeone, who has replaced Gregorio Manzano as manager. He has already won titles in Argentina with Estudiantes and River Plate and they think he can change things at Atletico Madrid. He probably will do in the short term. He has sold Jose Antonio Reyes to Sevilla as he is only interested in players who are committed to the club and he wants his team to be more aggressive. However, coaches of similar quality have been there in the last few years and the same thing always happens: when the team improves, the best players are sold. There is no idea of making this one of the top teams in Spain. Simeone will suffer the same fate but it will be good to see him have a run in charge.
Villarreal v Valencia
5.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports HD1
Villarreal told Juan Carlos Garrido not to worry about losing his job and focus on getting Villarreal in the top 10. Then they got beaten by Mirandes in the Copa del Rey and he gets sacked! Valencia started 2012 by beating Sevilla in the Cup; they are very consistent. They have reacted well to being knocked out of the Champions League because it has given them a chance to win the Europa League.
Betis v Sporting
6.45pm, Sun, Sky Sports HD1
Two teams that are going through difficult times but have kept their managers, Pepe Mel and Manuel Preciado. Sporting have certainly improved; they are defending better and that is vital because they don't score a lot. Betis went on one of their worst runs in history, losing nine out of 10 league games, but have beaten Valencia and Atletico Madrid in their last two matches. They are also planning to get one or two new signings in.
Espanyol Barcelona
8.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports HD1
Espanyol play at a different level to Barcelona, but sometimes this game is not about beating the opposition. It is about making sure that the philosophy prevails and that even if Barcleona score first, Espanyol keep playing the same way. There are a lot of youngsters with Espanyol and there is huge hope that they can do something against Barcelona.
But I've been watching Barcelona closely this season because I'm preparing a biography of Pep Guardiola. What we're seeing from Barcelona is very special. The best thing they are doing is not so much their first touch, which is essential for the style they play, but that no-one can find a way to consistently beat them. They use space in a way that there is always one more Barcelona player nearer the ball than an opposition player. You can try to defend high up against them, as Espanyol will, but they have so much quality. Barcelona lose games but no-one can get the better of them over four or five matches. This is a big challenge for Espanyol.
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it in here or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
I have heard that Gonzalo Higuain might come to Stamford Bridge, but I have also heard from a separate source he will not leave Real Madrid. What will happen, Guillem? Chris Savvas (Chelsea fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: Gonzalo Higuain signed a new deal in 2010 that runs until 2016. His salary of 3.5million euros a year is very affordable but his buyout clause is 150million euros. If anyone wanted him they would have to negotiate with Real Madrid and at the moment Real don't want to sell Higuain to anybody; it would leave them with only one striker in Karim Benzema. Higuain wants to play more as he has been frustrated at not being in the line-up for big games like the Clasico, but he doesn't want to leave yet. Who knows what will happen, but he won't go to Chelsea at the moment.
Hi Guillem, I was just wondering whether you thought David Villa's leg break against Al-Sadd in the Club World Cup will affect Vicente del Bosque's thinking looking ahead to Euro 2012. Could this lead to a possible call-up for Roberto Soldado or even Iker Muniainand a change of formation, such as Cesare Prandelli has had to undertake with Italy due to the long-term injuries of Antonio Cassano and Giuseppe Rossi? Thanks, Stewart (Rangers fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: Vicente del Bosque has already been using a team with no strikers. It happened in a friendly against Italy and it happened against Scotland. He's used David Silva as a false striker and he can do that with Cesc Fabregas, who has been playing in the position for Barcelona. I don't think just because Villa is out, another striker will come in. Roberto Soldado will probably be given a chance in Spain's last friendly before Euro 2012 because he was the best Spanish finisher in 2011, but del Bosque does not think he is as complete a striker as Fernando Llorente, Fernando Torres or Alvaro Negredo.
Hi Guillem, Would you be able to tell me the situation with Alvaro Morata at Real Madrid? I've been hearing he is the next big thing to come out of Castilla. John Davies (Gillingham fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: He's been playing wide in the attack with Real Madrid B and not many games as a number nine. But Mourinho is definitely thinking of having him as the third striker next season. Morata has to continue scoring goals and being consistent but Real like him a lot. There are also sometimes up to five English scouts watching him at games, but I don't see him leaving Madrid.
Hola Guillem. I'd like to ask if Barca have a buy back action on Oriol Romeu? According to AVB they don't, but I read this morning in El Mundo Deportivo that they do. Can you clear this up once and for all? Also, if he carries on playing the way he has this season is there a chance he could break into the Spanish squad? JJ O'Grady (Barcelona fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: He's is not Spain material yet. He has been good for Chelsea, but he's not been VERY good for Chelsea. You can tell Villas-Boas trusts him and that he has added a new dimension to Chelsea but let's not got too far ahead of ourselves because there are lots of very good midfielders in Spain. Regarding the buyout clause, Barcelona have decided not to bring him back for next season but they have an option to take him back in the summer for 10million euros or 15 million the summer after. From 2013, if Chelsea want to sell Oriol, Barcelona can equal that offer and take him back - but it looks like he's going to stay at Chelsea for a while.
You can also watch a bonus offering of La Liga football at 11am on Sunday morning when Rayo Vallecano entertain Sevilla. The game is being streamed through our online service, which you can access here.

15 Majestically Pleasing Purple and Lavender Bathroom Designs
Well, there are many reasons why many people tend to use purple or lavender color in their bathrooms. First it's not just because this is their favourite color but due to the influence of its color to one's emotions. It also provides comfort to the users. So today, we will show you the different bathroom designs with purple and lavender accents. With that we will assure you that you will be amazed of how the designers apply purple and lavender shades in their bathroom designs. As we all know that applying the shades of purple can evoke the feelings of peacefulness and tranquillity. When you choose to use lavender and lilac it will surely provide you a flowery freshness in your bathroom.
However, we can say that using a bold and fabulous interior design statement in our home can also influence the mood of the people who will visit and even stay in the house. And so we have gathered a collection of sophisticated and majestic purple bathrooms. And since the designers used the purple and lavender color for these bathrooms, it successfully achieved a luxurious look. Now take a look at the different Purple and Lavender Bathroom Designs below.
Unique Siam Facade
Purple Bathroom
Witt Construction
Danenberg Design
Purple White Bathroom
Delpha Evolution
New Scheme
Empreinte Preceuse
Compact Cassis
Purple Children Bathroom
Hence, we can say that in embracing the idea of a purple bathroom interior design indicates a desire for individuality and adventure. As we can see in the designs above, purple can turn the bathrooms into a dramatic and vibrant place, or maybe with a soft and mellow mood. Some may find it dark and lonely but using this concept can be extremely beautiful most especially if you combine it with white fixtures, furniture, and accessories. Do you have anything to add here? Well we hope that we gave your another inspiration to consider in redecorating your bathroom. You might as well want to check other bathroom designs with red shades, yellow shades and even black and white!

Interview – Fletch Cuts
With the Adelaide art scene experiencing a wave of popularity and progression, it seems as if there are new shows, artists and galleries appearing every week. Having had a solid scene for some time, it now appears as if the city is opening up and offering creatively driven individuals with a bit of drive more and more opportunities.
One of these talented artists, Fletch Cuts, is riding high on a wave of ever growing interest in new and intriguing street derived art. Having recently held a successful show with friend Lost Track, "Lost Cuts" at Espionage Gallery, and with works in multiple group shows across the country, Fletch Cuts is no stranger to fans of Australian stencil art. With a unique style, no mean feat in the world of cutting, Fletch Cuts tells a story of urbanity and every day living in his works – punctured by flights of fantasy and the macabre.
We had a chat to Fletch (great name, if I do say so myself) last week to get the low down on his art, his shows, techniques and all things good and Radelaide … so read on and check out the interview, as well as a whole mass of photos from his latest show at Espionage Gallery!
Back at the beginning, what lead you down the creative path and how did you pick up your first scalpel? What drew you to the creating in the first place?
I have always liked playing with knives and drawing pictures, but I never used to have much confidence in my illustration skills. I found stencilling a great way to get correct proportion, placement and to cut stuff.
When approaching new ideas for your work, where do you usually start? Is it an organic process for you or do you evolve ideas from research or chosen themes?
I usually get inspired by already existing images, mainly sourced from friends and family. I'll have a loose idea and then that sparks the hunger to look through peoples photo collections.
It feels in some ways that stencil art has dwindled a little since its heyday last decade – but those who were dedicated from the start are still at it, and are constantly evolving – what do you see the future of stencil art holding for those who are pushing the boundaries of the art?
I am constantly blown away by other artists work, my mind boggles trying to predict what they are going to do next.
Though stencils play a large part in your artistic output, we've also seen a fair amount of aerosol works in amongst your folio – is it important for you to move in different areas and mediums when creating?
It's important for any artist to move in new directions. Also, it's refreshingly less stressful leaving the house with just a couple of cans rather than big awkward stencils you have just spent a stupid amount of hours cutting. My stencils rarely leave the house these days.
You seem to be a good person to ask this one of, so lets talk about skulls in art. They are quite an iconic image – what is it about this piece of human anatomy that you believe both draws in an artist, as well as the people viewing them? , do you see them as overplayed, and how do you ring something new to their presence in your work?
I think a skull from any angle is a tough, solid image. No matter how ugly we all are, all of our skulls look awesome. I'm not sure if the skull will ever become overplayed to me, its association with death will always keep it relevant and powerful.
You just recently had a duo show with Lost Track – how did you both come up with the idea to do it together at Espionage, and what will the show entail? Have you worked together before?
Josh, Lt and I are all good friends and have worked together on the street, so it was an easy and natural decision to work together on this.
Can you tell us a little about how you view the Adelaide "scene" right now? What do you see happening, and where do you feel it is going? What would you recommend for people to go and see if they want to get their art fix in the city?
The "scene" is strong from all angles, from the street to the gallery it's never been as accessible and friendly as it is now. Blyth st, Topham mall, Morphet st bridge, the Jive bar carpark and the Toy Soldiers totem wall near the Grace Emily are just a few of the many great outdoor spots to check out.
As far as galleries go there are too many great ones to mention, Espionage, Tooth and Nail, Magazine, Paper String Plastic, Urban Cow, These Walls Don't Lie, Cold Krush and Ladybeads are to name but a few.
Just on Adelaide at the moment, we've seen some recent news about the possible closure of the cities only legal wall, Topham Court – we recently saw you do a small interview about it. What are the issues surrounding the wall at the moment and how important is it for artists to have legal spaces to paint in their cities?
It's the only outdoor gallery where anyone can come and paint, not everyone has a studio, shed or a commissioned wall to paint in or on and aren't willing to paint illegally, Topham mall has given a freedom to those people to throw some paint and see what happens as well as well established artists to have fun. The issues surrounding its possible closure are ones that should have been obvious when choosing the location in the first place. In my mind the issues are quite minor and nowhere near outweigh its benefits.
(Since we got the response to this interview, Topham Ct has since been shut down and buffed by the City Of Adelaide)
What have been some of the more difficult aspects of trying to get your art out there to the world? Do you find that you have to be a bit of a jack of all trades – artist, promoter, social media guru and all that? With so many people following creative paths these days, what are some of the more challenging aspects of being an artist in Australia today?
This is a hard question for me to answer because I suck at promoting myself and selling my art, and therefore don't do it enough.
So what do you have planned next, and where would you like to take your art to from here?
Again this is a hard question to answer; it's the day after my shows opening and I'm just looking forward to hanging out with my dog more – maybe I'll do a series of paintings of him, he's by far the most awesome thing in my life!

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act
The following describes how Hunter evaluates and manages risks of slavery and human trafficking, as required by the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (US Senate Bill 657).
Hunter Boot Ltd. is committed to conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner – this includes respecting and promoting human rights in our supply chains.
We have a Supplier Code of Conduct which establishes the basic principles that all factories must follow, to ensure that workers in our supply chains are treated fairly and are working under safe conditions. The Code is founded on the relevant conventions of the International Labour Organisation. Among other important issues, the Code clearly states that no forced, bonded or involuntary labour can be used. Our policy is to only do business with partners that adopt and implement our standards; our supplier contracts require full compliance with our ethical trading standards.
Hunter has an ethical trading programme in place which allows us to evaluate and address the risks in our supply chains. The programme is managed in-house and we work in partnership with independent organisations in the countries where we manufacture. Our ethical trading programme involves communicating our standards directly to suppliers, auditing factories to monitor compliance with both our Code and domestic labour laws, providing support to suppliers during any necessary remediation processes, and training our own staff on supply chain risks.
All of Hunter's manufacturing facilities have been audited and all new factories must be approved on ethical grounds before we place orders. These audits are conducted by both internal and independent third-party auditors with expertise in local labour issues.. Because we work to maintain trust in our supplier relationships, all visits are announced. All audits start with an opening meeting with factory managers, followed by a full factory walk-through, a review of documentation, confidential interviews with workers and management, and a closing meeting.
Where compliance may be lacking, we would work closely with factories on a progressive programme of improvement. We would organise targeted ethical trade trainings for factory managers and workers, and offer other forms of support throughout the remediation process to ensure that the necessary improvements are made. We visit and re-audit factories regularly to support lasting changes and continuous improvement.
In addition to the factories that manufacture our final goods, Hunter is working to gain greater visibility of those facilities that supply our key components for our products and we will hold these suppliers to the same high standards.
Our ethical trading, sourcing and development, and quality assurance teams visit factories regularly and all our rubber footwear factories have a small dedicated Hunter team working in those factories every day. When our staff members visit factories, they are briefed on any relevant ethical trading challenges and improvement actions, and ethical trading is firmly on their agendas for discussion with factory representatives. Hunter also provides staff and distributors with regular ethical trade training and updates.

Protesters block streets in Jerusalem 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
A few thousand protesters blocked a portion of the Ayalon Highway in solidarity
with Moshe Silman, who set himself on fire in the name of social justice a day
before.Earlier, protesters held a moment of silence when false rumors
circulated that Silman had died of wounds he suffered from the
self-immolation.Protesters began banging on an ATM machine but Border
Police gathered around it and protected it from further damage.There
were a few scuffles with police who were walking around with camcorders to
record any kind of provocation.While traffic on the Ayalon and on the
streets came to a standstill due to the protest, in some parts of the city cafes
and restaurants were going about life as normal, a far cry from the popular
demonstrations last year."It's going to be a rage demonstration," said
Yael Ben Yefet, an organizer and director at the Democratic Mizrahi Rainbow. "I
think people are on the verge of crying, as am I, or want to strike someone or
something."She added that if violence erupted, it would not be initiated
by protesters, but would be a form of "counter-violence.""There is
violence – by the government. They are the violent ones. And maybe today
something will strike back," she said.Demonstrators read aloud the
suicide note left behind by Silman, who accused the government, Finance Minister
Yuval Steinitz and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of being directly
responsible for his financial predicament. Silman had complained that he
received no rent assistance despite being unable to work after having recently suffered a
stroke.Participants at the event included Hadash MK Dov Henin, social
protest leader Stav Shafir and other activists affiliated with the movement that
began a year and a day ago on Rothschild Boulevard.Other protests took
place simultaneously in Jerusalem, Silman's hometown of Haifa and in
Beersheba.In Jerusalem, police arrested at least three demonstrators
after they tried to block roads at Paris Square. About 80 demonstrators marched
from Independence Park to the Prime Minister's Residence chanting: "We are all
Moshe Silman!" The protest started peacefully but once the demonstrators
attempted to block the road, clashes broke out between them and police, though
there were no injuries.Demonstrators also tried to block the light rail
and screamed "Let's burn ourselves!" The protest ended at the National Insurance
Institute building in downtown Jerusalem.In Haifa, dozens of protesters
demonstrated outside government offices and expressed solidarity with Silman.
Some of the protesters said they identified with the man who set himself alight
Saturday night, saying that they too had been pushed to the edge by government
bureaucracy relating to public housing, Army Radio reported.A man
threatened to set himself on fire at an Orange branch in Petah Tikva on Sunday
over an outstanding debt.The man, a resident of Ariel, doused himself
with gasoline and threatened suicide if the company did not waive his debt,
estimated at about NIS 20,000.Police arrested the man, and are
considering sending him for a psychological evaluation.Oded Ne'eman, an
Israeli who attends Harvard University and is home on vacation, tried to boil
down the social protest movement into a few sentences."Basically, there
is very little chance for the middle class and down to make a living here," the
30-year-old PhD student in philosophy said. "[This is about] more just division
of goods through more taxation of the privileged, the old traditional way. Even
now, tax is not collected properly.Those with much pay little and get
away with huge debts, but those who have nothing cannot pay back their debts.
People recognize this and won't let it go on."Melanie Lidman and
Jerusalem Post staff contributed to this report.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Flags on Main
Sep 20, 2012 - By Steven R. Peck
Consider making a small donation to the Riverton Avenue of Flags
Everybody who sees downtown Riverton's "Avenue of Flags" on patriotic holidays and other special occasions enjoys the handsome sight of the flags lined up for block after block across much of the city.
And everyone who appreciates is asked to chip in to help pay for it.
The veterans of the VFW and American Legion, who place the dozens of flags around town, have announced their schedule of flag days for the next year. With it comes a modest request for a financial contribution to pay for new and replacement flags and to recognize the veterans who do the work of getting the flags up at dawn and taking them down before sunset.
Here are the days the Avenue of Flags is scheduled to appear in the next 12 months: Nov. 6 (election day), Nov. 11 (Veterans Day), Dec. 7 (Pearl Harbor Day), Feb. 18 (Presidents Day), March 30 (welcoming Wyoming veterans home), May 18 (Armed Forces Day), May 27 (Memorial Day), June 14 (Flag Day), July 4 (Independence Day), July 15 (Rendezvous Day in the Park), July 29 (Fremont County Fair Parade) and Sept. 4 (Labor Day).
Avenue of Flags is a fun, distinctive and often moving exercise for the people of Riverton and those from other places who travel through town. Financial support makes it possible to perform the duties and, thanks to some money left over, to expand the flag area to more of the city.
No donation is too small. The VFW and American Legion routinely accept gifts of $5-$10 from supporters. Larger gifts give an even stronger boost to the program.
Please consider donating to Avenue of Flags at this address:
Riverton Avenue of Flags
P.O. Box 1017
Riverton WY 82501
Let's rally 'round the flag.

Glossary of Education
- Core Subjects
- The core subjects, also known as the "New Basics" is a termed used by A Nation at Risk, a significant report published by the National Commission on Excellence in Education on the American education system in 1983. The authors of the report recommended that schools should require high school graduate candidates to complete a specified amount of core subject learning: 4 units of English; 3 units each of science, social studies, and mathematics; and 0.5 units of computer science. This term also refers to the "core academic subjects" defined under the No Child Left Behind Act: English, reading, or language arts, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, and geography.

Hey, I've heard that using css to hide stuff might hurt SEO. Is that true? I need to hide widget titles, I can't figure out how to remove them otherwise.
"As long as you aren't trying to trick search engines in any way you shouldn't encounter any problems using either visibility or block to show and hide an element."
Hayley there other ways to hide. you can position off the screen (negatively), but really as long as you have your content [html], presentation [css], functionality [js] seperate you should be good SEO wise. so no inline styles setting something display:none
As long as you aren't doing anything dubious and it helps the design of a site or has a sort of functionality to the site. I don't think you should be in any immediate danger.
Thanks a bunch, guys! That helped a lot :)
You are very welcome! :)
