New York's First Senators: Late to Their Own Party
Today's post comes from Dan Ruprecht, intern in the Center for Legislative Archives at the National Archives in Washington, DC. The Center for Legislative Archives is marking the 225th anniversary of the First Congress by sharing documents on Tumblr and Twitter; use #Congress225 to see all the postings.
When Congress opened its doors under the new Constitution for the first time on March 4, 1789, at Federal Hall in New York City there were only eight senators present out of 22 expected. The senators from the host state of New York were not among them. The day before, the New York state legislature had adjourned without electing any senators.
In February and March, the New York State Senate, controlled by the Federalists, and the State Assembly, controlled by the Anti-Federalists, fought bitterly over their preferred candidates for the U.S. Senate. Since both parties expected to win a majority in each house in New York's upcoming elections in April, they were content to allow its Senate seats to remain vacant.
Therefore, as the First Congress met in New York City, New York itself was not represented in the Senate. The state legislature remained in a deadlock for five months. It was not … [ Read all ]

|Hawk of 2012
|Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:00
This comes at a time of increased criticism of President Barack Obama, who is actively pushing the passage of health care reform in the already divided congressional corridors. Perceived by some as a first step toward the nationalization of U.S. health care, opponents view its passage as the end of the private health insurance sector and a strategic hinge in putting health care within the custody of the U.S. government's bureaucracy and expanded powers, a change strongly opposed by Republicans.
Huckabee is known for his harsh, sarcastic statement to Newsweek magazine in which he said, "Lenin and Stalin would love this stuff," referring to Obama's supposed attempts toward forming "socialist republics."
Even the least stringent of the conservative hawks, like Newt Gingrich, believe that Obama's action is "the boldest effort to create a European socialist government we have seen." Nearly two-thirds of the total E.U. membership is governed by democratic, socialist, or labor-oriented parties, even though the right was the driving force in building the foundation of Europe.
The position of the Democrats is represented by one of its proponents, Harold Meyerson, when he talked about the German socialist Eduard Bernstein "who argued that the immediate struggle to humanize capitalism through the instruments of democratic government was everything, and that the goal of supplanting capitalism altogether was meaningless." Meyerson is re-reading history and likening President Barack Obama to one of his predecessors, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, who also faced a failing capitalist system, a lack of adequate consumerism, hysteria over private investments, and rampant unemployment. He finds that Obama — like Roosevelt before him — does not seek to establish a socialist system in America, but instead, is attempting to aid in the recovery of a collapsing capitalist system which, in this case, needs intensive care!
However, Obama's popularity has fallen remarkably. The fact that the bold steps he has taken to stimulate the national economy and stop the collapse of major banking institutions have not borne fruit, the lack of decreasing unemployment rates, and the declaration of "The Just War" in Afghanistan are combining factors contributing to the resurgence of Republicans in the political arena.
Since Obama's victory in Washington was announced, the defeated Republicans were forced to examine the reasons for their defeat on the legislative and executive levels, after they had been in full control of the government since 2002. This had not been the case since the era of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Dick Cheney, the old hawk, is back in the political forefront intensely criticizing Obama's administration without reservation, accusing the president of a "lag" in taking the lead in decision-making due to "lack of experience." In an interview with Politico, he described President Obama as walking around the world distributing American apologies to foreign counterparts. Cheney said that America does not need to be loved, but needs to be respected around the world. He expressed fears regarding America's vulnerability against attacks that could be more dangerous than 9/11 if the perpetrators are armed with more than a plane ticket. All of this, according to Cheney, is because of the [Obama administration's] lax approach in dealing with international terrorism and distractions about concerns to ensure legal rights for Guantanamo prisoners in federal courts.
Cheney's comeback campaign, reinforced by his stinging attacks, caused White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, to respond to Cheney's statements and accusations, given their sensitive nature regarding national security, something for which Cheney is a major advocate. Cheney is also considered the most influential vice president in American history.
Americans must not forget that the Republican position of strict regulation on immigration issues, empowerment of national security, and war against terrorism throughout the world are what spared them from possible terrorist attacks over the past seven years.
Republicans believe, without controversy, that former President Bill Clinton's softer approach in dealing with issues of terrorism was a key factor in aiding al-Qaida and turning it into an international terrorist network that killed many Americans during his reign. This sentiment was especially strong following the terrorist attacks on two U.S. embassies in East Africa, two attacks in Saudi Arabia, and an attempt to sink the USS Cole off the cost of Yemen. They believe that today Obama is following in Clinton's footsteps and, even worse, turning a blind eye to the center of Islamic radicalization and ideological hatred in Persian Iran. They think he is ignoring the reckless approach of clerical rulers who are indifferent to international appeals and resolutions demanding a reduction of nuclear escalation for non-peaceful purposes.
Twenty-first century America, with 50 million citizens lacking health insurance, is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and has unemployment rates that are tearing it apart. The U.S. witnessed the gravity of terrorism on 9/11 and has lost, as of this writing, 4,371 of its finest young men and women in the venture called Operation Iraqi Freedom and 936 more in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, according to icasualties.org, which lists victims of the war against terrorism.
America is asking: How many new coffins will be received before the return of its troops from wars overseas? How many fears will it see fulfilled when it finds itself facing the nuclear-armed monster of ideological extremism? And how much hope will be lost if Obama the "savior" continues failing it and the rest of the world?

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A southwestern Pennsylvania man pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of possession of material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Thomas Stetz, 55, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that on April 9, 2011, Stetz possessed visual depictions, namely, images in computer graphics files, the production of which involved the use of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Judge Schwab scheduled sentencing for Aug. 3, 2012, at 9:30 a.m. The law provides for a total sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Jessica Lieber Smolar is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the United States Postal Inspection Service conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Stetz.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.

Modified Mustangs & FordsEvents
6th Annual Aeromotive NMRA Ford Nationals Event - Motown Showdown - NMRA Milan
The NMRA Keystone Automotive Nationals Makes it Happen in Michigan
Coming to Milan, Michigan, for the third year now, the 6th Annual Aeromotive NMRA Ford Nat-ionals brought a compacted schedule and cooler weather to the event for the first time. The compacted schedule, while surely a money saver for the NMRA, allowed local enthusiasts, as well as the racers and spectators, to enjoy the NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday (the NMRA event was held Friday and Saturday only this year). This meant only two days of racing, late into the evening, and only a single car show day on Saturday. We thought the reduced schedule was a great idea, and apparently so did the racers. Saturday's car show was down a bit from past events due to the threat of rain (which drizzled on us for maybe 10 minutes), but nonetheless, the turnout of cars was impressive. From '60s era muscle to the latest and greatest from Ford, there was certainly a lot of interesting Ford iron in the car show area; ably run by the NMRA's Lisa Bodrey and the Milan event's host club, the Motor City Terminators (www.motorcityterminators.org/).
Of course this also marks the third year of the Ford Racing Invitational as well. With FoMoCo right in Milan's backyard (Ford and Ford Racing have been known to come out on test-n-tune nights with products like the new EcoBoost powered Flex and the FR500CJ), it's one of the best NMRA events for a Ford fanatic to really see the newest rides coming from Ford. Not only were there a bunch of great-looking Mustangs on display for the Invitational drivers (including yours truly, but more on that later), but also an EcoBoost Lincoln MKS, two F-150 Raptors, F-Series Harley Davidson models, the new 2011 Fiesta (in UK trim), and more. If you're within a day's drive of the Milan event you owe it to yourself to check this one out, and don't forget to bring the family.

London (PRWEB UK) 13 November 2012
The social media phenomenon has created an emerging and critical communications platform which has, in turn, become a valuable strategic resource for today's defence community. Beyond the enhancement of civil-military engagement, recruitment opportunities and internal and strategic communications, the utilisation of social media can also be a major contributor to mission success.
Against this backdrop, SMi Group's conference taking place in Amsterdam, Netherlands will provide an in-depth analysis into how this evolving medium can further benefit the military and the defence communities, with case studies and presentations delivered by senior military personnel offering valuable lessons to learn from which will serve to improve existing communication strategies.

Aaannnnnnddd…just because I had another render, here she is with a different hair and pose.
Last I remember we were unable to post pics with mild nudity, such as bare breasts/nipples, so I'll just have to say she has a little more breasts than the base model, and her own nipple morphs as well. Also a little smaller waist, hips, and tummy. I was trying for a slightly Asian face…not sure if that's a fail though.

I think QW is having some mental issues right now. He is ultra talented but isn't performing up to par. I think he has plenty of quality to practice with (Cael, Cunningham, Ruth ect...) but just needs a mental check. Even the announcers said last night that QW is in a rut right now and hinted at his mental thoughts.
The only thing Cael is at fault for is how his wrestlers act on the mat. He can't wrestle the matches for these guys but he can put an end to their antics. I think DT and Ruth are REALLY good but you don't release a guy with 3 secs left in the period. DT and Ruth I think are acting a little cocky and it has cost Ruth from getting bonus points. Cael needs to talk to the team and tell them to knock this crap off because it is costing the team.

Post 11
My day began somewhere over Europe, at about 7 a.m. Tanzanian time. We arrived in London about an hour and a half later. We entered the airport for our four hour layover, which was made more interesting than we thought it would be with the presence of a Fundamentalist preacher who engaged some of us in conversation.
I managed to stay awake for the second seven hour flight from London to Boston, and I did not feel tired at all when we disembarked the plane. My sister and my boyfriend picked me up the airport. It was wonderful to see them! They took me for an ice cream cone – dairy isn't readily available in Africa, and that was one thing I missed. We returned home, where I was greeted by my parents and my dog. It was strange to be home, with so many conveniences, like television, washer and dryer, cell phone and many other things.
The people I met in Tanzania, the places we went and the things we saw have touched me deeply, and I hope that I will never lose the connection that I feel with the country. I hope to carry the love and happiness the Tanzanian people inspired in me in my heart forever, and I know that I will never forget this life-altering experience.

Mr. Schumer has always had dual loyalty between the U.S. and Israel and was referred to by former Sen. Ernest Hollings as "the senator from Israel."

JOE did not trust the accuracy of his two digital thermometers, but he knew he could be confident that their percentage errors were constant over the range he needed to use them.
He placed the sensors of both thermometers in a beaker of oil and noted the temperatures indicated as the oil slowly warmed up. When one indicated 76.3 °C the other indicated 150.1 °F, and when one indicated 98.1 °C, the other indicated 184.3 °F.
As the oil cooled down, one indicated temperature was 167.2 °F and Joe found he was able to calculate the corresponding true temperature of the oil in degrees celsius.
What was the true temperature?

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
Kenne Bell Two-Valve Mammoth Blower Kit Installation
Little Bighorn - Kenne Bell puts its boosted tusks into the meekest Modulars
Horse Sense: Just a reminder, but when modding the Two-Valve 4.6 for 15 pounds of boost or more, besides the forged bottom end bits, you must also fit upgraded oil pump gears. Stock 4.6 oil pump gears shatter at high power outputs, immediately ruining your whole day. Triangle Speed Shop (www.trianglespeedshop.com) in Texas has what you need. Mammoth power also far exceeds the humble '96-'04 Mustang's fuel system, so you can count on replacing all of it as well. Finally, '96-'98 engines require aftermarket or Performance Improved cylinder heads found stock on '99-'04 Two-Valves to work with Kenne Bell supercharger kits.
For a while now the distinction at Kenne Bell between merely fast and outright furious is fairly easy to spot. Standard blower kits with their smaller displacement superchargers and easily packaged standard inlets are affordable and run beautifully on the street, yet can be hustled to race-pace when sped up and fed octane booster.
Kenne Bell's larger blowers, those in the 2.6- and 2.8-liter category, coupled with giant Mammoth inlets and throttle bodies, are really more race pieces. Sure, they run great on the street, but pullied for boost potential they'll make so much power they fracture stock pistons and demand a diet of specialized fuel for their trouble.
That said, nearly 95 percent of Kenne Bell's customers opt for the big Mammoth inlets whenever they're offered, and certainly the larger displacement superchargers are almost as equally popular and tons of them are run on the street. Gee, people buying superchargers have a need for speed. Imagine that?
Just as obviously, Kenne Bell has been working hard for years to offer big blowers and Mammoth inlets for all of its Ford blowers, along with keeping up development of new kits for new Ford engines as they came along. The good news is all of the push-rod 5.0 and modular 4.6, 5.0, and 5.8 Ford V-8s now have standard and Mammoth kits for them. Well, all but one until early 2013, when the final Mammoth kit was released for the Two-Valve modulars in '96-'04 Mustang GTs. It's the kit we're looking at here.
To best understand the new Mammoth kit, let's recall the standard Two-Valve Kenne Bell kit for the first modular Mustang GTs which has been on-sale for years. It's a street-oriented kit, designed to work with the stock 4.6 Two-Valve short-block and pump gas to give a 151 hp increase over stock. It uses a 2.1-liter KB blower, nominally pullied for 9 psi although it works anywhere between 6 and 14 psi of boost. Kenne Bell has been offering this kit in affordable, non-cooled and pricier, intercooled versions for higher outputs and it's a good seller. The natural limit for this blower kit is 525 rwhp, the point where the stock pistons and rods are suspect and pump gasoline no longer cuts it.
An important note with all '96-'98 Two-Valve engines is they require the '99-'04 PI heads or aftermarket heads according to Kenne Bell. Also, for the record, there is no Mammoth for the 2.1 blower kits as the larger inlet physically doesn't fit the more compact supercharger.
Of course, there have always been folks who wanted more from a Two-Valve than 525 rwhp. They used to be few, as the Cobras attracted most of the big-power fans, but today Two-Valve owners are ready for more. Most importantly, many Two-Valve '96-'04 Mustangs are now old enough to have worn out or blown-up their original short-blocks. They've been replaced by forged internals Two-Valve short-blocks and prepped cylinder heads—another must-have for big power with this engine according to Kenne Bell.
This critical mass of potential buyers is looking for efficient, high-output supercharger kits, and with Kenne Bell having just finished developing Mammoth inlet kits for all of their other big supercharger applications, they had the resources to develop a deep-breathing Two-Valve kit.
As you've likely guessed, the new Mammoth Two-Valve kit does not replace the existing standard kit with its 2.1 blower and Big Tube inlet (which doesn't look big at all compared to the Mammoth). Instead, the new Mammoth kit is offered to take over where the standard kit falls off. Kenne Bell rates the Mammoth kit for 15 to 28 pounds of boost, which is great for track duty; for any normal street application the standard Two-Valve kit is still more efficient and far less expensive.
There are two major components in the new Two-Valve Mammoth kit: the blower and the inlet. The blower is actually your choice of either of KB's 2.6- or 2.8-liter twin-screw blowers. The idea here is the 2.8 blower is so air-happy that it's all but impossible to make it run at low-boost, pump-gas levels, so KB offers the 2.6 liter for those currently running a stock short-block or wanting to motor around on pump gas and 10 pounds of boost while still enjoying the reduced inlet restriction and a bit more power the Mammoth inlet will give even on pump gas. A 2.6-liter Mammoth makes a little more power than a 2.1 standard kit at the same boost levels because the larger blower/inlet system is a hair more efficient. Later an upgraded short-block with forged internals can be slid under the 2.6 blower and it can be pullied for up to 26 pounds on race gas or E85. That's over 700 hp, or more than enough for many folks.

Things I found that made me happy this week...
1) David Thielebeule looking perfect for Eye Fly by Tommy Ton.
2) I love leopard right now...it is for men this season what python is for women (whatever that means)...and this collar from Eleven Objects is the best way to wear it I've seen.
3) This office...so beautiful! I love looking at people's work spaces and recently discovered Where They Create by Paul Barbera.
4) Le Portillon...c'est bon, no? The Another Reader featured blogger is one of a few I've recently discovered whose posts have a "Sofia Coppola's teenage journal/moodboard" vibe. If you like, also check out Miss Little Lime and La Mignonette.
5) Do you know Róisín Murphy? I hate to say she only recently came onto my radar...I love her second album, but I've found that live versions of Sow Into You from her first are truly awesome as well.

Ohhhh, we are so late! Something about a long weekend just tangles up the rest of the week. But the good news is, we're giving away a pair of picture books this time and they are… awesome. First up, "Princess Pig" by Eileen Spinelli, illustrated by Tim Bowers, tells the tale of an adorable pig who somehow winds up with a princess sash and decides, well, she must be royal.
We're pairing it with "The Sleepy Little Alphabet," a bedtime story involving a, b, and of course zzzzzz. That one's written by Judy Sierra, illustrated by Melissa Sweet, and it's absolutely darling. Want 'em? Click "comments" and share your family's favorite bedtime story. We'll draw a winner's name on Monday, June 8! (Congrats, by the way, to Liz, who won last week's "Life Sized Zoo" book!)

Longer, warmer growing seasons associated with a changing climate are altering growing conditions in temperate rain forests, but not all plant species will be negatively affected, according to research conducted by the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Research featured in the January 2013 issue of Science Findings -- a monthly publication of the station -- reveals a complex range of forest plant responses to a warming climate.

I'm thinking about deleting all the art off of my DA accounts and reposting it all to Tumblr. I'm sorry to any friends I have here, but you can still follow me on Tumblr if you like. I'll give you a link-mac-makes-you-uneasy.tumblr.co… is my main blog. It's for generic stuff that I like, and it's the blog I'm on most often. There are three other blogs of mine so far. One is for my art, one is for gifs and the other is for NSFW. I'll usually re-blog my art on my main blog when I post it on the art blog.
I'll still be on DA, but none of my art will be up. I'm sorry about this, I just don't think I trust this site or the people on this site with my art anymore.
Thanks for everything guys!

Bandhavi is Visthar's initiative for girls who are at risk of being dedicated as devadasis. Currently 100+ girls hailing from villages in North Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh participate in a residential school program that enables them to grow as individuals, as well as build a community that lives in love, respect, trust and friendship. Affirming the rights of the girl child to health, education and an abuse-free life, Bandhavi provides for the children a holistic environment where they can reclaim their childhood, freedom and dignity.
While at Bandhavi, the children attend the Samagra Shikshana Shaale and register with the Karnataka Open School, an initiative of the Government of India's Ministry of Human Resource Development. On graduating they will also participate in the Pre-University course with a focus on job orientation.
The Bandhavi program provides the child with the necessary support and guidance to build a life and livelihood for herself. As the children grow from girls to young women, it is our hope that they will learn to respect other cultures, to respect and work with the land and natural resources, to live in harmony with each other and the creatures of the earth.
We look forward to see them become women who believe in the power they have within them, to change their situations and build lives of freedom and dignity.

The two most common methods of preparing aryl halides are by direct halogenation of benzene and via diazonium salt reactions.
The halogenation of benzene to synthesize aryl halides is the oldest method known.
Sandmeyer reaction
A second method for preparing aryl halides is the Sandmeyer reaction. During a Sandmeyer reaction, a diazonium salt reacts with copper (I) bromide, copper (I) chloride, or potassium iodide to form the respective aryl halide. The diazonium salt is prepared from aniline by reaction with nitrous acid at cold temperatures.

Nice extension, quiet useful.
Though there is one issue:
it disables Firefox' native hotkeys for page reload with override cache:(CTRL+SHIFT+F5 (or CTRL+SHIFT+Left-Click)
When used that hotkeys page just refreshes as if you preset F5 alone.
Would've give 5 stars if would be for that issue.

Whether your business is large or small, branding has become a larger factor in performing well in an SEO campaign. Google now has a larger preference for brands in search results, so it is important for you incorporate branding into your SEO strategy. The folks at SEOmoz did a great job outlining how branding impacts an SEO campaign. Check it out!
Finding the right keywords to target is the hardest part and to be successful your keywords have to reach beyond core terms. Here is a great post from Search Engine Guide on how to segment your keywords and target longer, more specific phrases in an SEO campaign.
You should be thinking about your site's page load speed for SEO purposes and more importantly for improved user experience. Search Engine Watch's Simon Heseltine discusses tools for optimizing page speed so you can continually enhance your site.
Getting started with SEO can be a big project… so where to begin. David Harry developed a strategy known as Task ROI and wrote about it in the Search Engine Journal. Basically think before you SEO! What are the benefits which will be gained for your efforts and does a particular strategy really make sense for you? Every website is a special snow flake requiring, special efforts. Don't just SEO on autopilot.
On the topic of links, Gabgoldenberg has a few points to make over at Graywolf's SEO blog. In an effort to sculpt links, most SEO's have taken a less is more approach. While it's important to strategically place links, there's one question that still needs to be asked. If you're going to write about something, why not provide links to resources so your audience can be as well informed as you are? So in other words, link when it makes sense for your readers, not just when a bot might be keeping score.
Even the most experienced SEOs can make a mistake, and this post from the SEOmoz blog shows a recap from a webinar that covers common issues and some quick fixes to improve your SEO campaigns.

The Voice
Who Will Be Eliminated on The Voice Tonight, April 23?
If we learned anything from last week's episode of The Voice, it's that no one is safe when it comes to eliminations.
We never thought that judge and fan favorites Jesse Campbell and RaeLynn would be voted off the show, especially when the decision was left up to their coaches.
Those shocking eliminations leave us even more apprehensive going into tonight's live show, which features Team Adam and Team Cee Lo, and another instant elimination.
Despite claiming victory last year, Team Adam seems to offer some of the weakest links in the competition. His contestants lack the exciting qualities and vocal dynamics of others on the show, and we find ourselves struggling to remember who's on his team.
The most memorable contestant on Team Adam is former Mouseketeer Tony Lucca, but it's hard to tell if our memories focus on his past or his present. Christina may have had a point when she said that his popularity on the show was a result of "celebrity sway."
There's also Mathai, who is now the youngest contestant on the show after losing RaeLynn and Ashley De La Rosa last week. Mathai definitely has her own sound, but may not have the vocal power the others possess.
Katrina Parker was saved two weeks ago from her spot in the bottom three. If she can pick the right song, we hopefully won't see her go tonight. We love the sound of her voice and her humble attitude.
Poor Pip. He tried really hard last week to be a rocker, and found that bowties and badasses don't mix. His pitiful performance shouldn't take away from the fact that he's a stellar vocalist and could be one of the top contenders in this competition if given the right material.
We'd like to see Mathai go home tonight, but Adam doesn't seem too attached to Pip, so we might be seeing fewer items from the J. Crew catalogue on stage.
It's clear that Tony Lucca will be the Team Adam contestant in the final four, but is he strong enough to win? Compared with those from Team Cee Lo, probably not.
After getting off to a shaky start, Team Cee Lo has proven itself to be the competition front-runner. With a vast array of remaining (and lost) talent, the biggest challenge this team will face is picking just one contestant to go to the final four. We'd like to see them perform as the final four against against each other — forget the other teams.
If we had to pick a favorite, it would be Juliet Simms. Her voice is haunting and powerful at the same time. She definitely has the potential to become a stand-out performer long after this competition, which we can't say for all the remaining contestants.
At the same time, Jamar Rogers has completely won us over with his adorable grin and stage-melting performances. His sound is powerful and versatile and, we don't know how to say this, but he just seems like a really great person.
These two contestants have practically secured their spots in next week's shows — the really painful part of the show will be deciding who amongst the two of them moves on to the finals.
That being said, it won't be easy to see the endearing, wannabe ladies man James Massone leave the show. There's definitely a quality to his soft sound not heard in the other contestants. He has immense potential as a performer, but is no match for Jamar or Juliet.
Click Here: 3 Reasons The Voice's Tony Vincent Should Not Have Been Eliminated.
Cheesa is easily the weakest link on Team Cee Lo and will be going home tonight. Her last chance performance against eliminated contestants Tony Vincent and Erin Martin was impressive, but she doesn't possess the style and individuality of the other contestants in this competition.
Though we're looking forward to Team Cee Lo's performances more, Team Adam's eliminations will probably be less predictable. Who would you like to see eliminated tonight? Comment below!

Artist Spotlight: Relient K
by Wendy Lee Nentwig | July 3, 2013
Sitting in church one Sunday night, I noticed a 20-something sitting a few seats away. He was attending the service with his parents and had the studiously unkempt appearance of a college student. That impression was solidified when I noticed he had taken off his shoes. Now, my Nashville church is pretty laid back, but most people wear shoes. That's when I realized, that's not a college student, it's Matt Thiessen. (Thiessen is in his early 30s.) That run-in with Relient K's frontman aptly sums up the band. They're Christian music's version of Peter Pan: They'll never really grow up. And why would we want them to? These lost boys bring their own brand of magic and mischief that has been making them stand out for 15+ years.
Relient K date back to founding members Thiessen and Matt Hoopes' high school days in Ohio. They formed the band, named after an uncool car by Plymouth, and released seven full-length discs (including the new Collapsible Lung), five EPs and a Christmas record. Three of those studio efforts have been certified gold, and they've racked up several hit singles, a Grammy nod, two Dove Awards and performances on Leno, Conan and Jimmy Kimmel.
Their smart punk-pop sound and tongue-in-cheek lyrics continue to win them fans. From their self-titled 2000 debut (with a cover that features them in sweatsuits, jumping hurdles) to the critically acclaimed Mmhmm and the commercially successful Five Score and Seven Years Ago, it's easy to see they're having fun. Find out just how much fun they can be with this career-spanning playlist.

Feedbackula - Sexism special
Against his better judgement Johnny wades into the raging gender debate sparked by the #1reasonwhy hashtag.
by Mark Walton on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Johnny wades through the very best (and worst) of your comments to find out what's getting the gaming community talking.
Schedule: Fridays at 12pm PT
Host: Johnny Chiodini
Maybe.... just maybe.... It was the blacks who were top dogs, and the whole civil rights movement was white people rising up against blacks..... And MLK's speech and the march on Washington? That was the blacks who were in support of the whites......
AWESOMe FINALLE!!!!
You rock man!
there's no "=" sign between c**t and c**k its just the way this dumb universe works why cant u c***s just get that and move on u cant change millions of years of evolution with your whining
anyone who thinks sexism should exist in any language as a word just do everyone else a favor and jump off a cliff . would put this race forward tens of thousands of years immediately instead of waiting for evolution to do its thing
Great video, didnt realise that whole thing with breats set into armor thanks for that
And that's why most of these people don't have girlfriends! lol. I play games since they appear and the sexism in the game industry is the worst i even seen, sadly... If you notice in the video and in the comments below, you barely see anyone defending women looool, that's what a call sexism... The main problem about this is; most of the gamers are people with no social life, and when they discover some girl playing some game, they can't threat them like they deserve... And they start harassing them or being a asshole with them also. Most of these people can't understand they are there to play GAMES! Not for getting boyfriends! I know all of this because i play games for years, and i have 2 sisters and they are gamers also because of my influence. And all trough this years i notice all of that, in games chats, team speaks and so on, with many girls! And don't tell me is their fault because isn't! 99% of times they don't even do nothing...
Nice tits Johnny!
I can understand why there are more male lead characters in video games than female lead characters, one reason might be the demographics of the gaming community being mostly conformed by men (excluding the casual games maybe where things might be more balanced but I really don't know the numbers) So if you know your audience is mostly man from ages 15-50 you'll end up targeting them and sexist or not themselves most man have an akin mentality regarding some aesthetics, subjects, fantasies and that will be obviously show in a product aimed for that kind of gender.
On the other hand more male gamers translate into more guy showing interest in developing games. (let's say that 8% of gamers regardless of gender become developers, if the sample of male gamers is higher than that of the female it'll mean more man becoming developers than woman)
Another important thing is that the industry cannot be apart from the world it's immersed, it's culture and it's history, don't get me wrong I'm not saying "the world is like that so video games must be too" not at all, If a person plays well, is a good programmer, designer, composer, engineer or whatever it's gender is as irrelevant as his personal taste regarding diet or regular coke. But when you have 500 male developers resumes and 10 female developers resume on your desk is statistically improbable that those 10 from one sample are going to the most qualified It's possible? Yes. It's probable? Not by a long shot (the numbers are just to make a point and not in any way real nor is the ratio of male/female devs)
So by the end of the day you have a male predominant media = more guys playing =more guys going into dev = more guys applying for this kind of jobs = more guys in the industry = more profit in making "men" the targeted audience = more macho gunning, spying, stealthing, role playing, sword handling, wizardly, whatever the f... thing as lead chars in games and a huge amount of lame, dull, sexualified, love interest, stereotypified, bosom showing, knicker armored, secondary female chars = vicious circle.
Of course not all games are like that, old Samus, Chell from Portal, the new Lara Croft, and many more were brilliant characters made as strong, independent, intelligent and yet as human and real as any woman can be and even the most macho-guy could enjoy and learn from the experience, but non the less at the end of the day It's easier to make a male character knowing most of your audience will "empathise" with it than taking the risk of making a strong female lead character, even when I think it shouldn't be a risk... we know that in this world it is...
PS. Sorry for the long post and bear In mind that english isn't my mother tongue so if you got this far then I'm very sorry about any mistake I made and thanks for reading.
I cant get enough of this show, better than anything on TV.
LOL this subject is hilarious.
Hmm, that's a strange looking broom she has in her hands, hmm.
one reason why you ask?
simply put, no one wants to buy / play a game about shoe shopping.
Meh I don't care if Women want to get into the game industry in fact I'm more Concerned with them moaning about dumb things like ''why cant I play as a female soldier in this game?'' when they should be asking ''why am I playing this steaming pile of turd and not complaining about why it is a steaming pile of turd.''
Women are not meant to do the job of the Man and vice versa. That's why women are not hired in military as much because it's the job of a man to do that. Women are always meant to support the man who's life would not achieve anything without their back up. I suggest we study the characteristics and functionality of the body then we decide. So my point is, equality doesn't do them nor us justice.
Two giant thumbs up for this - Sexism in the industry is ridiculous. Listening to those comments, you'd think they had come straight out of the 20's. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of feminism, but I AM a fan of equality. Women should be no more chastised for wanting to play or makes games than men should be for wanting to be a nurse or wearing a dress - people should do what they're good at and what feels good. All these arbitrary gender boundaries are pointless, and do not hold the world together.
Lol I know it's a bit late but I just watched this and when the video finished, the video links were all for DoA5 with the 1.03 bikini stuff being the next video. #irony
I love this so much. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am, thank you so much for making this! I'm going to go back and watch your BRINK video, too. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
And right after this comes up "Dead or Alive 5 - 1.03 Trailer" with a screen capture of a brunette in a very small swimsuit. And underneath the headline is "GS News - Fans Demand Bigger Boobs"
Hello Pot, please meet Kettle!
Can't make this stuff up.
Im always trying to get my girlfriend into games but allas she's never interested ...guess like im never interested in chickflicks. That's not the point here tho. This all stems back to men assuming roles they believe to be expected of them, that alpha male, dominating thought process most men have that at times have pushed humanity forward but more often then not at an expense that pushes morality back. I don't think women would argue that the majority of women today are not interested in the games industry, but that they are a minority is no basis for the argument to treat them any different. Like the movie + music industry, novel authors and art, their creative work can easily be found among some of the best in the world. To think of an example of a great female singer or book writer is easy and no one makes derogatory terms about their tallent, vision or buisness sense because they are women. So for those women who actually are interested in the gaming industry, it should never matter that they are women. End of the day who benifits from great creative work? Everyone. So why should it matter if who made it is female of male?
I can't even laugh at this episode. The amount of ignorance in the comments is just painful.
Real kicker there at the end.
Wow this episode is really one sided, in my experience the blame is not so one sided like this episode is. I feel very bad for women that are really sexually descriminated against, it's not fair and it must stop. But I have also seen women take advantage of this and that's not fair either, it has really hurt the women that do deserve our support and compassion. Equality has to be equal or it will never be a reality.
My college class (computer science), from 40 students, had 3 girls... That's probably a reason, maybe... :)
Why hire women into an Industry for the sake of hireing women, why not just hire women on the sake of them actually being good at the job? If you want to stamp out sexism, don't look at gender look at their strengths a game developing...
I hate sexism as much as the next woman, but if I was given a job just because they didnt want their developing team becoming a sausage fest, I'd be pretty fucking disappointed. You want equality don't paint everything black and white. Look for the grey between.
Excellent feedbackula. It is always a joy to watch Johnny ridicule the morons who frequent these forums with their frankly appalling attitudes.
If the comments shown give any type of idea or peek into the gaming community, it's: despite the fact the average gaming age is 30, most have the mental capacity of a 10 year old
I knew when Johnny said "join the navy" somehow The Village People will be involved :)
Denny Crane!
I especially like that all the links at the end of this video are for DOA 5...
I'm not really sure what the issue is about. Are we talking about women who WORK in the games industry or just women PLAYING games in general?
If it's the former, and people are wondering why there aren't more women WORKING in the industry it all boils down to interest. Most women don't have an avid interest in video games or making them; either because they lack the proper skills or just don't care. How many women actually want to sit at a computer and write code all day?
This isn't just a B&W issue of women aren't welcome. There are a lot of reasons why you don't see women working in the industry besides PR and administration roles; they just don't want to because they have no interest, and there's nothing sexist about that. That's like wondering why you don't see more men working in beauty and healthcare professions. Men don't care about make-up and all that stuff, but just because they don't care about those jobs doesn't make those professions inherently sexist.
Here's hopeing to positive change in the world, to be ignorant and continue is forgivable,... but you would have to have a dark heart to continue aftwards when ignorance is removed.
The reason there a more men in the gaming industry (both developers and gamers) is because a lot of games feature violence, high speed driving etc and men are just more accepting of it. The amount of times I heard a girl say "omg why did you kill him" or "why are you hunting that animal". Females these days find it more fun to watch chick flicks and "go clothes shopping"...EVERY WEEK where as most men do it when they need new clothes. And whats with the working conditions of women being neglected? I'm sure an employer is going to overlook skills and passion because she is missing a shlong. And all this stereotyping of women being all "loose" and seen as "objects" mostly never happens (except for games like rumble roses and DOA to an extenct) but always seem to overlook men being stereotyped as violent murderous, sadistic vilians and why is every crazy scientist in every game male? This whole sexisem shannanigan is blown way out of proportion, yeah a little kid said to a girl online "make me a sandwich" as if it hasen't been done outside of gaming.
INB4 hate.
Look I get it, sexism is bad, but I just buy the damn video games (expensive video games at that), there's nothing more I can do and nothing more I'm willing do to support this industry, I'm sorry. I hardly get my money's worth as it is. The comment stating gamers are bigoted petulant children hit the nail on the head and..."in fighting", if you will, isn't going to solve the problem. If more women get hired, if more women were responsible for platinum/greatest hits, that would keep the inane sexist chatter at bay. The sexist comments are made because the likely hood of a female reading/hearing the comments online are highly unlikely. Women play with their mics muted or under their boyfriend's gamer tag, and it it doesn't help the problem. It's the equivalent of a white person looking around the room, seeing only white people, and then proceeding to tell racist jokes.
although the "point is no less true", you can't compare segregation, genocide and stripping of rights to a mild sexism found on videogames.
@llSierra Some good observations, but I'd like to correct you on a few numbers. The idea that people buying video games are overwhelmingly male is simply not true anymore, although it certainly was in t he recent past. Take a look at the 2012 ESSA survey here: http://www.theesa.com/facts/pdfs/ESA_EF_2012.pdf
A few numbers for you from this report:
1. "Of the most frequent game purchasers, 52% are male and 48% are female"
2. "Adult gamers have been playing for an average of 14 years; males average 16 years of game play, females average 12 years"
That was a 2012 report. It is simply no longer true that women gamers don't exist, or that male gamers vastly outnumber female gamers. What I think is now more true is that:
1. Male gamers are more vocal on community forums, message boards and other online communities such as Reddit, etc
2. Female gamers' contributions to these forums are on the rise, but are still outnumbered by the number of contributing males.
This is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. The better question to ask now, IMHO, is now, "given the almost 50/50 split between male and female gamers, why is the games development industry still overwhelmingly male-dominated?" and "Why there little emphasis on the development and equal representation of women in games development?"
I think that the idea that men = gamers, therefore protagonists = men is an outdated concept from way back when technology did not have the capacity to deal with complex storylines or characters, and it WAS mostly men who played, and games DID appeal to the white-knight mentality of "go save the princess".
But we are moving so far past that now, and it's time the rest of the industry (and us gamers too) caught up with this.
@green_abobo One reason why you're single?
Simply put, no woman wants to date/bone a misogynistic prick who makes broad generalisations about women.
@HazeChimp OOH. OOH.
Perhaps he's a decent human being who does it because he thinks it's right, and you're just a misogynistic dickhole.
@SS3_VegetaYou might wanna watch the whole video again..... Sexism in the industry isn't just about equality, they are arguing about the objectification and sexualization of women in games. That and verbal slander in voice chat.
oOhedzOo O.o last I checked, having bewbs doesn't make you incapable of shooting a gun, you die just the same man or woman lol.
@digitaltiger Wow yeah so until every single women falls in line then, and only THEN, should men start to be anything but complete dicks. Because it's not like there are far more than a *few* men who take advantage of the situation, and just make this situation exist at all, which is totally fair and not one sided at all. So yeah equality should be equal and not give women a much harder time than men just because of some bad apples.
@meatz666 Possibly because women do not feel welcome in the class because they have been taught from a young age that geek stuff is for men? Could have something to do with it. Sometimes people are not interested in something because they never had the chance to be interested, or that interest was stamped out at an early age. Do you really think most girls growing up in the 90's liking computer games would be very popular? I mean guys certainly aren't! And its okay if we like them.
@madjack1812 That's brilliant lol. What better game to make the point.
@Kravyn81 I think there's definitely some truth there, but there will always be sexism in any male driven industry (so pretty much every industry around). The point that needs to be made is that the gaming sector is subject to this but probably no more than any other so I don' understand why the focus is being pointed at this case in particular.
I think this could be an interesting show if Johnny didn't feel the need to act to act like such a cynical condescending hipster prick really.
@Hellsasin Yeah, this is part of a larger problem and I couldn't agree more. The thing you aren't getting is that girls aren't arguing over the fact that the video game industry is a male dominant one. The problem is that girls who want to be involved in the community feel discouraged to because: "make me a sandwich", "show me ur pix, u hot?" , "u play games cuz ur fat in RL and nobody would wana F*** u" and lets not forget "ur a girl??!! no wonder u suck so much, tebag her!!!"
Yeah that's the "iNteRnETz" for ya, but it happens WAY too often. The Gaming medium has gone from being a childhood pass-time to a yearly all ages blockbuster multimillion$ giant. Extreme sexist segregation isn't helping our image in the media as more than just a prepubescent cult.
Btw.... DOA and rumble roses are far from the only sexualization examples. Why do women in Skyrim wear breast plate that leaves room for bewbs. That's not really battle ideal. Why do female characters in wow need armor that leaves place for bare skin? Why did Cortana need to get a sexual overhaul for halo 4? She was just fine in the other games? Things that devs put in games to help sell but it's not helping the image of the industry as a whole.
I'm a dude but I kinda get now why Girl gamers complain.
@TacticaI "The likely hood of a female reading/hearing the comments online are highly unlikely." I just found it ironic reading this as a female. You have a good point with your last sentence, but they wouldn't be making a sexist comment to begin with if they weren't sexist. What may deter them, is being met with more disapproval. That's why I disagree to an extent that "in fighting" won't help. Sure it's annoying to hear or read, but if I have to see sexist comments, I'd prefer to see the sexist being bashed as well. There are more women on these sites than many guys assume, but they are much less likely to leave leave a comment or dare read the comment section when they can expect to find horrific comments and be hit with demeaning insulted if they dare to point out the offense. Sure, female gamers aren't helping to represent themselves as a demographic when they keep quiet or intentionally pass as male in online gaming, but you can't blame them for not wanting to put up with all that shit just to play a game.
hombreg1. The idea is that sexism, in any form, is unacceptable, and the "it's always been around" excuse is a common, bad excuse for many offensive practices.
hombreg1. No, but you can apply it to the high amount of sexism in games; which you clearly don't understand exists. While unrelated to your comment, the following applies to a couple that I've read: It isn't that we want more women making games. It's that we don't want to chase off the women who are interested. Too many highly qualified women have to fight far too hard to get a leg up in this industry,and that's really disheartening.
@pipedreamer @llSierra Thanks for the reply and the info you've provided, just wanted to know if this numbers are taking in account "casual" gamers and "hardcore" gamers (as those are called).
If not I think it's clear in my post that I'm talking about the "hardcore" community, being that the one that really takes part in forums, discussions and ever hardware related stuff., because that's what I thought.
I mean I thought that even if more girls are playing "casual" games (Some Wii games, cellphone games, some handheld devices games and such) the "hardcore" community is mostly male gamers and not that 50/50 those numbers show, I would be very surprised if regarding the latest AAA games that ratio is still 50/50 (ie: Taking Deus Ex: Human Revolution until now as sample).
Then again I might be wrong and if that's the case... well I'm very glad to be.
a male dominated demograph isn't going to buy games featuring women, unless their woman parts are clearly accentuated.
unless they are grossly obese, in which case they're clearly spending a bit too much time in the kitchen.
@SangoHime @TacticaI I agree wholeheartedly, and the feeling of anxiety with commenting is not isolated to female gamers but to anyone who disagrees or has any ounce of understanding on the subject.
@llSierra I suppose it depends on what you mean by "causal" vs "hardcore" demographics. It is absolutely true that for many years, women fall more into the category of playing puzzle games (such a sudoku, trivia, etc) than the more action-oriented games (such as Deus Ex: HR), but this seems to be more a case of perceptions than actual desire. Action games have been viewed as the man's domain, with the obligatory girl-friendly sidekick character tacked on so the girlfriend can join in - but the emphasis has been on male-targeted action gaming.
This is what I was driving at in my earlier post - it is THIS attitude that is shifting among gamers. Women are stepping up to play the same type of games as men. The Nielsen Report of 2009 found the following:
"The single largest group of personal computer video game players is females ages 25 to 54, accounting for approximately 29 percent of total personal computer game players…"
That's a huge margin - and that was in 2009. Four years later and this number will have grown beyond these stats.
Let's take another example - Mass Effect. 18% of players (both male and female) play as the female Commander Shephard rather than the male. Yep - regardless of the sex of the player, almost 1 in 5 gamers voluntarily play the female version of the hero in a trilogy saga that runs into the hundreds of hours of gameplay. Again, that's a big margin for an industry whose perceptions of who plays games still doesn't match the reality of who is actually playing them.
This brings me to my second point - one which your original argument doesn't address - men who play women characters and women who play male characters. There is an - in my opinion unfounded - assumption that men don't like to play female characters and that women aren't interested in playing male characters. I respectfully call BS on this. Go onto any major gaming forum (like Reddit's r/truegaming for example) and search for this kind of debate. The forums are littered with male gamers who insist that it's the character not the gender that matters. Now this is of course anecdotal, and anecdotes are not data, but the gaming industry is reacting to the experiences of its customers, so it's worth consideration.
To conclude, the number of women playing "proper" games is on the rise as prejudices towards games as things "just for boys" start to disappear. Anyway, there's my thoughts, yours in response are welcome. Looking forward to the discussion!
@green_abobo @bigcrusha @SS3_Vegeta That's the kind of excuses that thwart the evolution of modern gaming.
If gaming is to ever become completely unisex, that way of thinking has to go. This is about the maturity and growth of a popular pastime, not getting a big fat paycheck by catering to demographs.
I'm not saying a pixelated wire frame with EXTRA careful details to precious *ahem* "features" is something that has to go, but it shouldn't have to be in every game you lay hands on.

Re: Strange behaviourPosted by: Leslie Hemsing

In Reply to: Strange behaviour
: Our 2 year old neutered male is showing more often strange behaviour.
Sudden changes in a dog's behavior are most often caused by a medical problem or by a break in household routine/dynamics. I recommend that you first take your terrier to the vet to rule out any physical cause for his "discomfort" when you touch him. If he is healthy, then you should consider what has changed in the household that's making him uncomfortable/unsure about what is going on.
Since your terrier stops growling when you continue to touch him (especially if he rolls over), I am inclined to recommend that you continue this response while you are determining exactly what the problem is. If his behavior is related to a physical problem, the more you touch him, the more likely you are to find an abnormality.
Best of luck,

The state of Human Development and the Afghan Millennium Development Goals
AFGHANISTAN Millennium Development Goals: Progress at a glance
¨ The infant and under-five mortality rates in Afghanistan are among the highest in the world. Only Angola, Liberia
and Sierra Leone have higher rates.
¨ The Under-5 Mortality Rate (U5MR) and the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are targeted to reduce by 50% of the 2003
levels by 2015 and by two-third by 2020.
¨ While progress in immunisation coverage worldwide and better awareness levels among parents on good child
rearing practices and hygiene have contributed to the decline in U5MR, overall infant mortality remains high
because of the high level of neonatal deaths.
¨ Most deaths among children under-five years of age in Afghanistan result from infectious causes, with diarrhoea,
acute respiratory infections and vaccine-preventable illnesses accounting for nearly 60% of deaths.
¨ Lack of access to a clean water source and poor sanitation are the major contributory factors to poor health
outcomes, with the majority of the population having no access to improved drinking water and improved
sanitation facilities.
¨ Immunisation coverage of children has increased, but overall it is much higher in urban than in rural areas, and
specifically so in major cities.Not surprisingly, infant and child mortality rates are around 20% lower in urban areas
than in rural areas.
¨ The measles immunisation programme has been a success, with 75% children aged less than 12 months have
been immunised. The values are similar for boys and girls.
==> Reduce by 50%, between 2003 and 2015, the under-5 mortality rate, and further reduce it to 1/3 of the 2003
level by 2020

I need a very simple sound system, the simpliest possible. I wonder what should I use (the standard SDL audio or download the SDL mixer or something else maybe?)
My needs:
- music (a looped wav)
- up to 2-3 sounds played concurrently (wav)
- ability to change the volume of music
- ability to change the volume of sound effects
It's for a strategy game, so I absolutely don't need any extras, just the minimum.

By the Numbers: Andre Miller needs to get a grip
A team mired in mediocrity through the first two months of the season is suddenly a top-four seed in the stacked Western Conference and many an analyst has speculated that the Nuggets will have little trouble cracking the top three before the season is done.
There's only one issue: The Nuggets' veteran leader isn't buying in.
Andre Miller is Denver's backup point guard and at 36 years old, he's the senior member of the fourth-youngest team in the NBA. He's smart, savvy and effective in small doses. The problem is that Andre no longer seems satisfied with that role.
Miller spoke to the Colorado Springs Gazette earlier this week about Denver's recent run of success, and he used the opportunity to rain on the Nuggets' parade.
"No. I don't care how much team basketball you play or how much talent you have all spread out," Miller said, when asked if this Nuggets team can be successful in the postseason. "You can't win in this league without a superstar. You can't win a championship. I don't even think you can even advance in the playoffs without that marquee player."
Wow, way to instill confidence in your young teammates, Andre.
Obviously, I think most NBA pundits would agree with Miller's assessment to a certain degree, but that's not something you say publicly when you are the leader of a top-four team in the league. After 13 years in this game, Miller should know better. Actually scratch that; he does know better.
So what could possibly be at the heart of such an outburst?
"I want more minutes," Miller said. "If we were losing, I would really be complaining. But it's going as it goes."
Ah ha, now we're getting somewhere. Miller is unhappy with his playing time here in Denver, so now he's getting rambunctious. Word of advice though, Andre; maybe don't bite the hand that feeds you.
It's no secret why Andre Miller is on this team. George Karl loves him as a player. Earlier this year, the coach claimed that Miller is a top-10 point guard of all-time. Now, I don't profess to be an NBA expert, but I'd say it's debatable that 'Dre has ever even been a top-10 point guard in the league during his career.
But to each his own, and here we are as Nuggets fans stuck with an aging malcontent that fails to see his place in the NBA at this stage of the game.
"I don't know how much longer they want me here. I definitely would like to contribute more," Miller added when I asked if he wants to finish in Denver. "I'm not just going to sit back and settle in and be a backup and let my career just fade away. I'm competitive in that way."
What's amusing about these comments is that Miller made very similar remarks halfway through the season last year, yet re-upped with the Nuggets for three years in the offseason without so much as testing the free agent market.
What exactly did he expect? To return to Denver, he had to realize that his value on the open market was limited. And at 25 minutes a game this season, it's hard to see what team with any modicum of success would be offering Miller more playing time than he is receiving here.
Miller's statistics have been respectable, but certainly not spectacular. He averages 8.7 points and 5.8 assists per game with a player efficiency rating of 15.21. A glance at the backup point guards for other Western Conference playoff teams reveals that those numbers are about middle of the road; Miller is also averaging more minutes than five of the seven of them. Oh, one more thing; he is the oldest guy on the list by seven years.
You see, most teams tend to have a younger player running their second unit. The inherent value in that system is having the ability to develop a player with upside without forcing the weight of the team on his shoulders. My point is that Miller should be psyched that a young, solid team even wants him on their roster. If the Nuggets hadn't offered him a contract, he could just as easily have been forced to play for a team like Toronto or Orlando.
Don't get me wrong, I like Miller for what he brings to the table. The Nuggets were right to re-sign him, considering that a reunion with Chauncey Billups wasn't happening and the rest of the free agency landscape at point guard was pretty bleak. But if Miller is going to continue to take shots at the team and gripe about his playing time, perhaps Denver should rethink their stance.
Plenty of fans are still waiting for the other shoe to drop on the Nuggets. It could still happen yet, as the remainder of the team's schedule is far less favorable than the past month has been. The team's veteran leader and the coach's favorite player not buying in will only exacerbate that potential problem. Do us all a favor, Andre – get on board with this team or kindly ask Masai Ujiri for a ticket out of town.

Further Analysis
Head coach Dave Wannstedt is a pro coach who realizes when a
talent level isn't quite where it's supposed to be. He knows his
team has to be faster on defense, stronger against the run, more
efficient in the passing game, and far more effective running the
ball. In other words, the Panthers have to become the Steelers.
While winning a world championship isn't likely to happen any time
soon, being more of a player in the Big East race would do for now.
While all the attention will be paid to Louisville and West Virginia
and their national title hopes, the road to the Big East
championship and the BCS will literally go through Heinz Field.
Prediction: 8-4
Prediction: 9-2
2005 Record: 5-6
2005 predicted wins
Pitt might not be as talented as the Mountaineers or Cardinals,
but it has some great pieces in place to work around and should be
better overall by the end of the season. That means the timing is
perfect; the final two games are at home against ... take a guess.
First, take
a step back to last year. What went wrong in the 5-6 campaign? Getting
blasted by Notre Dame, Louisville and West Virginia didn't turn out to
be anything to be ashamed of. There was the nationally televised
embarrassment against Ohio losing to an awful Bobcat team 16-10 in
overtime because QB Tyler Palko's favorite receiver turned out to be
Ohio CB Dion Byrum. A little better execution on special teams would've
meant a win at Nebraska. In other words, Pitt was two plays away from
being 7-4 with Wannstedt's first season being seen as a success.
The concern, of course, is how the Panthers lost to Rutgers and got
pummeled 87-33 by West Virginia and Louisville. Pitt has to be better
against the league's top teams considering it was the Big East champion
in 2004, and it has to put a stop to the annual dog game, like the one
to Ohio last season, that brings the season to a screeching halt.
Palko, LB H.B. Blades, CB Darrelle Revis and P Adam Graessle are among
the best players in the conference at their respective positions. Young
talent has to emerge at defensive tackle, wide receiver and running
back, but the positive is the athleticism; it's better than what was
there before. Now if Wannstedt could just find a way to successfully
recruit Troy Polamalu, Joey Porter, Ben Roethlisberger ...
Schedule: It all leads up to November 16th and the Backyard Brawl
against West Virginia followed up by a home date against Louisville a
week later. The road games aren't all that bad with only two of the five
games against 2005 bowl teams (UCF and South Florida). Virginia,
Michigan State, Toledo, and Rutgers all have to come to Pitt. In other
words, the schedule works out as well as could possibly be expected.
Offensive Player: Senior QB Tyler Palko. He has everything you'd
want in a quarterback except the ability to let a bad play go and not
press when things get rough. He has the arm, the experience and talent.
Now he has to become the type of player who can put a team on his
shoulders and carry it to big things. He did it in 2004 and could be in
for the same type of season if all the other parts come together.
Defensive Player: Senior LB H.B. Blades. One of the nation's best
all-around linebackers will try to become the first Pitt player to earn
three first-team All-Big East honors. He's big, quick, and is always
around the ball with 286 career tackles and 18.5 tackles for loss. He
moved from the outside to the middle last season and showed he could
also be strong in pass coverage.
Key player
to a successful season: Junior CB Kennard Cox, sophomore CB
Chandler and senior CB Reggie Carter. Junior corner Darrelle Revis is
one of the nation's most talented all-around defenders. Teams know this
and aren't going to throw at him. That means Pitt needs someone else to
quickly step up in place of all-star Bernard "Josh" Lay on the other
side if the pass defense is going to come close to finishing second in
the nation like it did last season.
The season
will be a success if ...
Pitt wins the Big East title. Crank the expectations up a
notch. The team should be an experienced, hardened squad by
mid-November. It's not often you get ten games to prepare for your two
biggest home games.
Key game:
November 16th vs. West Virginia. The Mountaineers have won three of
the last four in the series and might be in the mix for the national
title when it makes the trip to Pittsburgh. The Panthers' game against
Louisville the following week won't mean much if they can't win the
Backyard Brawl.

The New York Times reviews The 'Dusters at The Bowery Ballroom
We're so pleased that The New York Times came out to see The Stringdusters play at one of our favorite venues, The Bowery Ballroom. And for publishing an awesome photo of the show. (Thanks to our lighting engineer, Brett, for his help with that too).
"What sounds casual and good-timey — handoffs from player to player, solos that turn into intertwined duets — is intricately plotted and arranged, attentive to the textures of each voice and string. The Infamous Stringdusters don't leave bluegrass behind; they're stretching it from within."
