New England Patriots at Detroit Lions Pick and Preview
- Updated: August 26, 2011
Point Spread provided by VietBet: Patriots -4
Total Line: 44
This Saturday night's NFL preseason action features an interesting matchup between the perennial powerhouse New England Patriots and the up-and-coming Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Game time is set for 8 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
New England is already set in a 'Super Bowl or bust' mode with a 42-12 victory over Jacksonville as a three-point home favorite in its first preseason game and a 31-14 romp over Tampa Bay last Thursday night as a 1.5-point road 'underdog'. The total easily went 'over' the closing line in both games.
While the star power on this team has been held in check the first two games through limited action, the overall team appears to be in mid-season form. Tom Brady has only attempted 19 passes so far, but two have been completed for touchdowns. Wes Welker has caught five passes for 56 yards and Chad Ochocinco has two receptions for 14 yards and one TD. These three should be able to pad these stats on Saturday night with extended playing time against the Lions.

Detroit is also off to a 2-0 start in the preseason with a 34-3 pasting of Cincinnati as a three-point home favorite followed by a 30-28 victory over Cleveland this past Friday as a 2.5-point road underdog. The total went 'over' in both of these games as well.
The health of quarterback Matthew Stafford has been the biggest concern for the Lions this offseason and so far all systems are go. He has looked extremely sharp in limited action, completing 12-of 17 attempts for 156 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Jahvid Best will most likely sit this game out after leaving the Browns' game with a mild concussion.
The 'best bet' in this matchup could be the 'over' as these are the two highest scoring teams in the NFL this preseason. The Patriots averaging 39 points a game and the Lions are averaging 32. Given that the starters should play well into the second half on Saturday night, conventional wisdom should make you lean towards New England verse the spread, but the free NFL pick in this game is Detroit plus the four points. Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz needs a motivational victory much more than his counterpart Bill Belichick does, so the Lions will be playing for the win in this one.

Originally written on Steel City Blitz | Last updated 4/10/13
Earlier today it was reported that Emmanuel Sanders, the Pittsburgh Steelers #3 wide receiver and current restricted free agent, signed an offer sheet with the New England Patriots. The Steelers' front office now has five days to match the offer or else Sanders goes to New England and the Steelers receive the Pats' 3rd round pick which is the 91st overall. This is an absolute no-brainer here folks. While I like Sanders and what he offers the Steelers especially in light of Mike Wallace leaving via free agency, the fact is the Steelers can and should do better. First of all, Sanders has averaged 31 receptions and has five touchdowns in three seasons with the team and has dealt with injury issues as well. These aren't just any injuries either as they deal with his feet. Other positions on the field could potentially get by with such injuries but not a wide receiver. Sanders could still leave after next season as an unrestricted free agent and the Steelers would receive no compensation...

The Fox Township Supervisors approved numerous requests for use of township recreational facilities for such events as birthday and graduation parties, a family reunion and a fun walk and picnic at their recent meeting.
Among those was a request from the Elk County Catholic High School boys' soccer team to utilize the park's Angela Huey soccer field, as well as the SinterFire soccer fields, for the team's 2012 season.
Don't have enough money in your "Rainy Day Fund?" Emporium-based CPA and Certified Financial Planner Robyn Kuleck (www.kuleckfinancialplanning.com) has some recommendations to help people prepare from getting soaked.
In addition to tracking spending habits to make adjustments where needed and putting whatever amount of money you're able to afford into savings before paying other bills, Kuleck said there are some other methods of saving that can allow people to save without too much pain.
Editor's note: This is the first part in a series of articles based on a presentation given by area historian and photographer Ray Beimel regarding the history of the Erie Avenue area.
Throughout St. Marys' history, Erie Avenue has been patronized by local residents for a variety of reasons. Stores, hotels, and other businesses have all come and gone, but the area has remained an integral part of the community.

I've seen poor spelling and bad grammar all over the 'net, and this place is no different. Why don't we all take the time to put down our thoughts carefully and clearly? Major sponsors are interested in sites that reflect positive values, including decent, respectful discourse. That's my two cents; I'm sure I'll hear about it.

I can tolerate bad spelling and such. But knowing I am judged by the words I use I do what I can and believe me, I need all the help I can get. I graduated in the top half of the bottom ten in my class! (no joke!)
There is also a great free version of a dictionary and thesaurus called WordWeb. http://wordweb.info/
I highly recommend it!

Think about it, this a simple build, drop in low comp pistons, rods, and bearings, nothing else was done to the motor, no sleeving, head studs, cams, etc. The car is making 70-80 more whp and 80 - 100CHP over the top rated ESS OTS kits, with only 4 more psi and compared to other kits it's on that same dyno it's only 2psi more and remember with lowered compression you lose power. With the VT625+ you need 93+ octane, with the VT3 you can run 91 only. 660whp, depending on how you calculate DTL, is ~775CHP, that's plenty for a RWD car, lol, anymore what's the point? How do you put the power down, at that point you're more frustrated than happy. This is the ONLY way to reaslitically make more RELIABLE power without going crazy on the build, fuel system, blower, adding turbo's, etc. You didn't just buy more power, you bought upgrades for the motor to make it safer and more reliable for more boost.
A YSI blower? You guys ever heard one? They are obnoxiously loud, the T-Trim will not add anymore power and tapping the oil on this car is not ideal IMHO. Currently this is the only documented Stage 3 car, running a V3 Vortech, that is making ~660whp STD at 11psi on a Dynojet. Another factor is the DCT transmission, how much can it handle? I've already had one go out on me when I tried different clutch packs, so I'm done experimenting, let the other poor soul give it a try. The car runs AWESOME right now, I'm not about to do anything to it, except enjoy it for a good long while.

This is so good mate! Good to see you back! Seriously!
Much has happened with russian_sky's projects recently.
Posted by Echohalls on Apr 3rd, 2014
Much has happened with russian_sky's projects recently.
First to mention... AIHM is being worked on once again.
Second, Sea of Nooses will be Remade entirely.
We'll now be using the CryEngine 3 SDK to make it since working with Unity was a nightmare and was such a shitty engine to work with.
Its going to take alot longer to make it but its for the best.
Amnesia - In Her Memory now has assistance, the latest addition is the co founder (me).
I'll spend most of my time on this mod making environments and rooms for the mod as well as writing out quotes for the game that could be used in parts of the levels.
Another mod being made by endosine, Disconcerted in a Faded Solitude is also underway.
Since most of his time is being diverted to DIFS, I'll be mainly working on My mod and AIHM.
Also, Enjoy this lovely screenshot!
This is so good mate! Good to see you back! Seriously!
CryEngine 3 looks to be beautiful as ****.
I wonder how will Sea of Nooses and [project of russian_sky that I only know lettuce] look like.
It will be the most realistic thing to ever exist.

"It's also a way to shock someone who might be invading your digital space," she said. "It may be a way to scare off potential hackers or identity thieves."
Though people can exercise creativity over the networks anywhere in the world, she said it's more likely to occur in urban areas where people are congested enough to be aware of overlapping networks and digitally connected enough to be constantly searching for an available hotspot.
John Fischer, a 27-year-old who lives in New York's stereotypically hip Williamsburg section, said he's "guilty of it" himself.
"Especially in a dense urban area where your Wi-Fi name reads like your address, it's a clever way to be a little unexpected," he said. In a "little literary dig" at his neighborhood, his network is "Skinny Jeans and All" and he said his friends nearby go by "WEB and Da Boys" (as in W.E.B Du Bois).
Technology writer and co-author of the "geek humor gone wild" site eSarcasm, Daniel Tynan, said someone once changed his own Wi-Fi name on him.
When he failed to secure his own Wi-Fi network or alter the default password, he said someone went in and changed it to "Wide Open Please Come Hack Me."
Tynan has penned a book on security and said, "I was mortified about that gaffe and immediately took steps to fix it."
Janelli said she learned of someone using her Wi-Fi name to disclose a crush on a neighbor. Another, she said, used it to passive-aggressively reveal that "fat man on 7fl is douche."
But regardless of the circumstances surrounding the messages' origins, Janelli said that once discovered, the unusual Wi-Fi names seem to provide a great deal of amusement.
Since she started collecting the names, she's posted one day on WTFwifi.tumbler.com, but as the site's popularity has grown, she is planning to migrate the content to a full-featured site in the coming weeks.
With a growing team of other "Wi-Fi detectives" and a graphic designer, she hopes the site shows people that the Wi-Fi names are like an entertaining "graffiti art."
"I hope what people get from my site is that it's just a break from the daily routine. It just makes you laugh," she said. "Everyone needs a little bit of funny in their life."

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 18 February 2011 11:00AM
The Aphrodite: Les Folies tour starts in Denmark on Saturday (19 February) and visits 15 countries before culminating in London on 12 April.
Kylie's hit song 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' is one of the tracks on 'Dance Central', which works with the Xbox Kinect motion controller.
Marketing around the partnership will pose the question "can you out dance Kylie?".
The sponsorship was negotiated internally by Xbox EMEA and EMI Music. The value has not been disclosed.
Microsoft will install Kinect pods featuring 'Dance Central' at each venue, inviting fans to play the game, which was developed by Harmonix.
The online activity will invite fans to submit videos of themselves giving their best performance to the 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' routine and will also involve a series of web videos that include interviews with Kylie about different aspects of the show.
Chris Lewis, vice-president interactive entertainment business, Microsoft EMEA, said: "Kylie is one the most successful and much-loved artists in the world; a perfect fit for an entertainment brand like Xbox."

Originally written on It's Always Sunny in Detroit | Last updated 1/27/13
There is something about a goalie fight that adds a whole new level of machismo to a hockey game. Saturday night, the American Hockey League's Syracuse Crunch squared off with the St. John's Ice Caps and the main event featured Crunch 'tender Dustin Tokarski and Ice Caps netminder Eddie Pasquale throwing down at center ice. It began as a whole-line scrum in the corner to the left of Tokarski. While the skaters were laying on each other and the linesman were trying to sort things out, the goalies couldn't help themselves. Tokarski is in white and Pasquale in blue. It's a decent little tilt for two guys dressed like the Michelin Man.

I would never pigeonhole myself into a specific style. I wear what I want when I feel like it, which often results in a myriad of looks from punk to preppy to bohemian to confused five-year-old. My whole shtick is, why lock yourself into one look when you can adopt dozens? For this latest round up of SOREL styling, I decided to pair three different boots with three of my more signature styles, the aforementioned punk, preppy, and bohemian. But what was perhaps the most fun for me was styling an entire look around a specific boot. Normally when I get dressed, I start with a shirt or pair of pants, but this time around it was all about what was happening south of my ankles and styling them according to a specific genre or trend. For my preppy look I opted for a simple Breton-stripe shirt, classic dark blue denim, a red coat, and topped it all off with the ultimate heeled rain boot. For the punk look I went with my standard motorcycle jacket, dark grey jeans and rugged plaid button-down. And lastly, for the bohemian look, I channeled my favorite music festival outfit: lightweight white dress, army green jacket, slouchy hat, and sturdy pair of boots. Which look is your favorite?

To offer prayer as a concrete solution to a problem. To, literally, run the issue "up the ladder" and wait for God to figure it out, thereby relieving you of taking any real action.
I asked the director off my daughter's school if we could switch teachers. She smiled and told me she would pray about it. She totally pray punted the issue.

I don't really see this as the same thing as the monthly discussions. I did something similar to this with Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe books on another site. Sadly, most of those posts were lost when the site crashed.
Swreader did a series of essays on the Witches on the Cunning Artificer Board.
They are individual points of view by a reader with added comments after the event. They aren't really designed to be discussions (as I see it). They are more a case of 'this is what I made of this book'.
Q, I can see what people are saying about your rating system. It seems to me that you are rating the books using a system based of the best ever book you've read compared to the worst - and that's based on all books, not Pratchett ones.
If you based them purely on DW books with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, it would make for a clearer indication of your feelings about the books. And it would give you more numbers to score with.
I'd like to see you continue with this. It can be a rewarding experience to read a series in this way. I found this was the case with the Sharpe books. The chances are that some of us won't agree with everything you say, but that's only to be expected. We are all individuals ("YES! WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS!!") and we will all have our own take on the books.
I would suggest that you post your assessments, allow people to respond but avoid getting into a discussion about the responses. Maybe add a disclaimer at the start: "These are my views of this book. You may disagree with me, but this is how I see the."
And you might also consider changing the rating system or dropping it. But please do consider continuing. I for one will enjoy reading your comments, even if I don't agree with them.

What I really like is the almost vertical-wall design, and the ventilation, oh yeah, and the nice window to see out -- just an awesome tent. Marmot is also coming out (2014) with a very light weight (5lb or so) two-man expedition tent and will be called the "HAMMER". Wow, I've gotta check this out first before I buy the Thor -- who knows, the Hammer may be the ticket to nail down my decision?

Bobo Choses
I don't think the smallest Cub has one item of new clothing. Being the third boy, everything is a hand me down. I obviously exaggerate, he's been given a lot of divine little creations, but I personally haven't bought a thing. Apart from maybe a bib or two.
Two weeks ago I went to Amsterdam to surprise my brother Ned on his 30th birthday. I had a couple of hours to kill and on the train into the city was directed to the 'Nine Lanes' area for a shop and a potter. I had a bit of an ignorant view of Amsterdam before I went - clogs, red lights, cheese, maybe a tulip or two. I now feel rather embarrassed about my naivety and can't wait to go back again and explore properly.
The children's clothes shops there are like no others I've ever come across - brands I've never even heard of and the coolest, most original designs and styles. With no suitcase to hand I had to leave empty handed - though me and Mr Fedex are now becoming firm friends since my return.
Bobo Choses was my favourite discovery; it's watermelon strewn collection is properly sensational - desperate to get some adult sized pieces. I yet haven't broached the subject of the pink onesie that's hiding in my office with Chaz, yet. Boys can wear pink though, no?

Mulberry Lunch Flowers
Since the arrival of the newest Cublet, I've been properly hibernating. Living life slightly a la Waynetta Slob. I've spent two months in pyjamas. Night and day. Maybe a tracksuit bottom for a good day/special occasion. I've had Nashville on on a loop, pesto pasta for every meal and all forms of self-beautification felt like a far and distant memory. I cannot remember the last time my legs saw a moisturiser. Or I saw them for that matter. Poor Chaz.
But last week I ran out of Nashville episodes, the sun put his hat on and I did start to feel slightly more human again. I got back in my jeans, did the school run with all three and even put on mascara.
And then I went back to work. My first job, post baby - flowers for a spring lunch in London at the Mulberry showroom. The brief was to create a relaxed yet wild feel with green and white flowers and all in takeable-home vases. So I did a mix of white potted muscari in ribbed, chunky glass jars and Kilner jars bursting with ammi, ranunculas, anemones, blossom and lilac.
Even if I say so myself, they did look pretty special. Perfect for a spring time wedding in case anyone reading is thinking about that...

And then there were three...
Our newest, incredibly divine arrival, is another blue one! Another darling Cub to add to the pack. Kit Fox Rocket arrived into the world three weeks ago and I will happily admit that I am on a totally different planet to the one I usually inhabit. Three boys under five is quite something. The last three weeks have passed in a total and utter blur and I have no idea how the hell I'm ever going to get anything done ever again. Thankfully my brain has signed off meaning I actually can't think any further than that thought. I guess Mother Nature's kind like that.
The smallest new Cub
So far, the hardest part has been attempting to give all three equal amounts of love and attention, pretending that the smallest Cub's arrival hasn't changed a thing. The bigger two are not impressed by this new intruder. Not remotely enjoying his 24/7 crying or the fact that he gets to cling to me all day long. The first glimpse of the dodgy-looking tummy button cord on night one sent the bigger one into a total spin. Proper hysteria/hyperventilating for a good hour. And then he wouldn't come anywhere near him until it had fallen off.
Not wanting to scare them about the whole birthing process, they're blissfully unaware of the agony of my c-section scar. So to them, seeing as I'm no longer a "massive fatso", my role as playmate/punchbag has been instantly resumed. Coming up with creative reasons for why I can't yet roll around on the floor being a Ninja Turtle or bounce on the trampoline fighting Lego ninjas, is a full time job in itself.
Although progress has been made. He earnt their respect after covering me and my brand new J Crew pyjamas with jet propelled, yellow diarrhoea whilst we were all lying in bed this weekend. Result. So slowly, I think we'll get there. I may be black and blue and covered in poo but I have a good feeling about our new life with three...

New Year Skin Rescue
I am beyond thrilled that the new year is here and 2014 is no longer with us. I am determined that this coming year is going to be a LOT better than the last. Our new small Cub is about to arrive for starters - any second in fact- so we're off to a good start so far...
I'm meant to be taking down Christmas decorations and re-packing my hospital bag, for the third time but I quickly wanted to share one of my best Christmas finds before I go MIA for a few weeks.
I bought this for my Mum for Christmas but it turns out that she already had it. So being too fat (lazy) to take it back, I thought I'd save myself the hell of the festive post office queues and treat myself to it too. India Knight wrote about it a few months ago and made it sound semi-miraculous. It is aimed at more mature skin but I thought with the sleep deprivation that's coming way, I'll be looking like I belong to that camp in no time at all.
It's called 'In Transit, Camera Close Up', made by This Works. A mask, moisturiser and primer in one, it really is quite sensational. Old bat or not. I like how instantly it works; you put it on straight onto clean skin and it immediately looks like you've been air brushed. I should probably admit that I currently don't have any light bulbs in my bathroom but even Chaz has commented on how 'much better I look'. I'm taking that as a compliment.
So if you're looking for a New Year miracle helper, this is my suggestion. And on that note, i'm signing off for a few weeks. I will be back again when my brain is working again.
Wish me luck!

December Florals
I feel I should apologise for my absence.
I haven't posted anything for far too long - as much as I've wanted to do - I'd been compiling the Christmas wish list for months - I just haven't had a second to do it. Plus, country living has rendered us without phone lines and internet for weeks. So it's not entirely my fault. I thought I'd share my photo album for the last month showing what I've been up to so to prove I haven't been just sitting around slacking, getting fatter. On that note, I can't quite believe just how soon the third small person will be here. This weekend is going to spent organising/buying sterilisers/washing tiny baby grows.

Print - Woodblock, 'Genji Excursion To Enoshima Island', Japan, Oct 1863 Reg. No: HT 22532
- Summary:
- Woodblock print on paper, depicting two richly dressed Japanese female attendants on the shore of Enoshima Island, produced by the Japanese woodblock artist Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900), carved by Mi no and published by Kiya Sojiro in Tokyo, Japan, in October 1863. It is the left panel of an original triptych; a work of art comprised of three distinct panels, titled 'Genji excursion to Enoshima Island' (Genji no kimi Enoshima Yuran no Zu).
Although works by this artist are not listed in the official catalogue, it was possibly exhibited by a retailer at the Japanese court at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition where it was bought by John Twycross.
Woodblock prints like one could have been exhibited under two categories: Class 22, Printed Paperhangings, or Class 42, Toys.
In Printed Paperhangings, G. Inouye from Osaka exhibited 'Printed Paperhangings', Kiriu-Kosho Kuwaisha (now spelt Kiriu-Kosho Kaisha) and T. Akiyama of Tokyo exhibited 'Paperhangings and artistic papers' and M. Tani, Osaka, exhibited 'Printed Paperhangings'. Printed paperhangings, as a nineteenth century term, often referred to wall papers.
In Class 42, Toys, Kiriu-Kosho Kuwaisha and T. Akiyama of Tokyo are listed as having exhibited 'Dolls, Playing Balls, Painted Pictures, &c'. It is more likely that artistic wood block prints such as this one would have been exhibited in this category because of the vivid, graphic subject matter, that so clearly tells a story.
The scene is a Genji-e or Mitate-e; a parody illustration of the original Genji story. A popular subject for many Japanese print - or Ukiyo-e - artists in the nineteenth century, 'The Tale oF Genji', the classical Japanese novel by Lady Murasaki Shikibu of the late Heian period (794-1185 AD), detailed the lengthy, often complex love adventures of the novel's central character, Prince Genji. The story spawned many parodies, illustrations of which were also prevalent and often termed mitate-e.
In this image, two female attendants are seen seated on what appears to be a short pier at the edge of the bay with lanterns hanging in a tree above them. In the full composition, including the central and right panels of the triptych, Genji travels to Enoshima Island (Kanagawa prefecture) with attendants, with the Izu peninsula (Shizuoka Prefecture) visible in the background of the right panel.
To many in the Melbourne Exhibition's largely western audience, the flattened pictorial form and composition of Japanese prints remained puzzling, and often misunderstood. 'The Japanese pictures were very curious, some of the figures being made to rise considerably above the background', the official catalogue to the exhibition observed, while the Argus newspaper - quoted in the official catalogue - commented of the display of porcelain figures that although 'Stamped with character...the human figure more often than otherwise [is] grotesque in position and humorous in expression.'
- Description:
- Signed Japanese coloured wood block print on paper depicting two richly dressed women on the shore of Enoshima Island, having just arrived with Prince Genji (not depicted in this panel, but in the middle panel of the triptych).

HMS Sabrina was an 18-gun Royal Navy ship-sloop of the Cormorant class, launched in 1806 at Southampton. She seems to have had a surprisingly uneventful career before the Admiralty sold her in 1816.
Sabrina was one of the second batch of Cormorant-class ship-sloops. As such she carried 32-pounder carronades in her main battery instead of 6-pounder guns. In 1810 she was reclassed as a 20-gun post-ship, and again re-rated as 24 guns in 1816, just before she was broken up. Under the rating system of the day her number of guns could be largely nominal (in this case the number of long guns she would have carried had she been so-armed); the re-rating included her carronades in the total and did not involve any actual change to her armament.
Sabrina was commissioned under Commander Edward Kittoe in September 1806 and he sailed her to the Mediterranean on 4 January 1807.[1] At some point her boats and those of her squadron attacked a Spanish flotilla. A subsequent expedition saw her boats and those of Chiffone cut out a brig and a schooner under the guns of a 4-gun battery on the south coast of Spain.[2] On 20 November she and Euryalus were in company with Niger when Niger captured the Lady Washington.[3] In early 1809 Kittoe sailed Sabrina to Cartagena, Colombia, bringing the news that Spain and England had signed a peace. Some dual citizens (Anglo-Americans) held prisoner in Colombia asked him to intercede with the viceroy for their freedom, which he did, but to no avail, as they had been incarcerated at the behest of the Captain General of Caracas.[4]
In 1809 she participated in the ill-fated Walcheren Campaign.[5] At one point during the campaign she served as the flagship for Admiral Keats.[6] During the campaign Rear Admiral William Albany Ottway appointed Commander Abraham Lowe to take command of her.[4][7]
- Sabrina Island
In 1810 Sabrina came under the command of Commander James Tillard, who sailed her for Portugal on 20 July.[1] During June and July 1811 a volcanic eruption in the sea formed a new island off São Miguel Island. Tillard went ashore on 4 July and claimed the island for Great Britain, naming it Sabrina Island. He later wrote a description of what he had seen and done for the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.[8][9] The claiming of the island gave rise to considerable diplomatic wrangling that proved moot when the island subsided into the sea a few months later.[10]
In November 1811 Captain the Honourable William Walpole took command and sailed Sabrina for Portugal on 19 November.[1] On 30 January 1812, Sabrina and Vesta captured the Peyo slave schooner.[11] In May command passed to Captain Alexander R. MacKenzie, who sailed her to Portugal.[1] In June she brought back to England Captain Samuel Hood Linzee of Union, who had been knifed by a seaman and was no longer well enough to command.[12] On 5 January 1813, she and Myrtle detained the Edward and Albert.[13][Note 1]
Sabrina was sold on 18 April 1816 at Portsmouth.[1]

The thing that made me the most anxious, weirdly, was the interaction that Patrick had socially, where he had that blind spot on.

Welcome to The Daily Hot – our round-up of the sexiest pics and stories on the interwebs. Today's steaming pile of hotness:
Welcome to The Daily Hot – our round-up of the sexiest pics and stories on the interwebs. Today's steaming pile of hotness:
We haven't been in a war with any European countries in the last two centuries or so; isn't it time we let Snooki start another one? Rumor has it that Jersey Shore will shoot in Italy next season, if the Italian government doesn't classify them all as an infectious disease and prevent them from coming through customs. Allegedly executives started applications for cast and crew visas two months ago. We were wondering how producers would handle another season now that the reality stars are more famous than most Oscar nominees; unleashing them on a new unsuspecting population is the perfect way to keep things fresh.
Sources say that the show's reps are currently scouting locations on the peninsula, and have contacted Vinny's relatives to host the gang for a traditional meal. Sunday dinners mean the same thing in every language! While we hope this doesn't interfere with Snooki and JWoww's spin-off show or Pauly D's new gig, we bet they could just film their cab rides to the airport and get enough material for a six episode run. Those producers know most international flights give out free wine, right? Genius.
In news that makes us want to beat up the beat, Snooki and JWoww are getting their own spin-off. According to a source, Nicole Polizzi and Jenni Farley will be in Long Island filming the pilot this weekend. Look, it's not that we don't love the other Jersey girls and boys. It's just that we love Snooki and JWoww so much more. The show reportedly doesn't have a particular hook other than Nicole and Jenni's amazing personalities. The title might not be Snookin' For Love, but we all know that's exactly what they'll be doing.
The girls join Pauly D in furthering their careers with more reality TV, despite the fact that their time at the shore has opened up a variety of outlets for their particular brand of awesome. Snooki's about six months and a couple million dollars away from a media empire now that her novel A Shore Thing is a New York Times best-seller, while JWoww's artistic abilities as an undergrad have recently come to light. These ladies are shaping up to be a regular Oprah and Gayle, but with slightly more weave-pulling and faceplants.
Seen the Snooki and JWoww video parody of Joy Behar, yet? It's pretty hilarious, but didn't the Jersey Shore guidettes know that Joy was totally going to hit back? Of course, the snark's hidden by a veil of politeness, with Joy releasing a statement that reads, "I wish Snooki all the best with her book." But considering the fake Joy-real Snooki character said things like "I don't give a f about anyone because my heart is this small" on the video, the gloves are now off.
Behar responded to the mock-video on The View saying, "I didn't know they allowed cameras into AA meetings." She was joking of course, but… was she really?  We doubt she excepted them to be listening, much less responding to the (plenty of) stuff she says about the Jersey Shore crew. About Snooki and JWoww personally, she added, "I didn't realize I was such a big celebrity for them to take me on like that." Agreed. But it's pretty damn funny either way.
Gah! Our eyes! It's pint-sized Snooki, mini-Situation and little J-Woww! Luckily, this isn't for real. At least we hope so. All we know is the JWoww tweeted this picture of these tiny guidettes and guido, writing, "Omg lol classic RT @HannahNeverman: love this. @sn00ki @ITSTHESITUATION@JENNIWOWW"
We're thinking it's a very late Halloween picture by a fan or friend? 'Cause these kids are adorable. We can't have them fist-pumping or getting their GTL on at this age.

Gear Review
Great bag, I'll try to explain the zippers
Osprey quality, all the bells and whistles you would want. I've carried skis, a snowboard, and snowshoes, no problem at all. I've even A-framed a pair of skis and attached a snowboard at the same time. Albeit a bit heavy, it works.
Here's what I fit inside the bag for a week of resort and sidecountry in the Rockies, and some backcountry: 3L camelback, 2 extra shirts, 2 extra gloves, 2 extra socks, food, goggles, with plenty of room to spare. I haven't packed true avy gear yet, but there would be no issue getting a shovel and probe in there.
Pockets: dry and wet pocket, wet pocket has a drain grommet at the bottom which is a nice touch. Dry pocket has plenty of space for clothes and other stuff. Small pocket on the front for wallet, keys etc. Hip belt pockets for camera, chap stick etc.
Zippers and clips: The clips are good, strong Osprey quality, and the compression straps have a dual locking mechanism to keep your straps secure. Here's where the pack losses a star, similar to what some of the other reviewers have said, in order to get into the pockets, you have to unstrap/unclip the straps. It's almost as if Osprey made a mistake and put the compression straps on the wrong side of the pockets. So let's say you have your pack on and compressed, skis on your feet. You need to unclip the compression straps to get into the pockets. If your skis are attached, you need to loosen the compression straps, then retighten them. To me, it's not a big deal as I really need to get in my pack a few times per day. But if you are going to be constantly going in and out this could become annoying. On a positive note, one of the zippers has an elastic zipper pull which is a nice touch.
This pack could easily be used as a day pack or really anything else you need a backpack for. It could be considered heavy for a daypack, compared to something like the Talon.
I looked at the BD Avalungs, and Gregory Drift and I went with Osprey because of Osprey's quality (I have 3 other Osprey bags) and because of the added features that the Avalung doesn't have.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24
You don't need to be some sort of mythical half-Alexis-de-Tocqueville-half-Joyce-Brothers beast to read the body language of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi -- and thus to understand what their visceral take on George W. Bush means for the next two years of American politics.
But it will help if you inhale Ruth Marcus' must-read op-ed in the Washington Post if you want to understand that single most important dynamic shaping Iraq policy, the legislative agenda, and the 2008 race.
Writing under a "The Knee-Jerk Opposition" header, Marcus smartly keys off of the dead-on-arrival attitude that Democrats have about Bush's health care plan LINK, but the larger points are these:
1. The Democratic leaders hate the President and don't trust him.
2. Despite their lipservice to working together on other things, as long as Iraq dominates our politics (and fuels more hatred and distrust) NAFTA-like bipartisan deals (on tough stuff like entitlements, health care, and immigration) will be impossible.
3. The Democrats (openly) and the Republicans (increasingly openly) consider the Iraq war to be over politically.
4. As the fair-minded and non-hyperbolic Dan Balz of the Washington Post writes this morning, George W. Bush is tyring "to revive his presidency against what may be the greatest odds any chief executive has faced in a generation."
5. Republicans and Democrats in Congress would vote by secret ballot to end the Bush presidency today if they could by a margin of, oh, 500-35.
6. Under the American system, the President has about two more years to serve.
Add up 1 through 6, and you will pardon us for not being overly excited about President Bush's trip to the battleground state of Delaware today to participate in a tour of DuPont Experimental Station at 10:20 am ET.
He then makes remarks on energy initiatives at 11:00 am ET in Wilmington, DE -- and we predict that the President will not be able to hide the fact that he is no more fired up about this jaunt than we are.
The President then meets in the Oval Office with the incoming commander for NATO International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan at 1:10 pm ET.
Vice President Cheney's interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer airs between 4:00-6:00 pm ET and 7:00-8:00 pm ET, at which time he will tell Blitzer in no uncertain terms (and several times) that he isn't going to discuss an ongoing criminal matter. (Note suggestion to Wolf: try this, "You recently suggested that Scooter Libby is one of the more honest and honorable people you know. Do you feel the same about Karl Rove.")
After a morning show romp, Sen. Obama was scheduled to be on hand for the beginning attends the Senate Foreign Relations Committee business meeting on the Iraq resolution at 9:00 am ET. Sen. Obama presides over the Senate at 5:00 pm ET.
This is day three of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) online chats with voters on her 2008 campaign website. Mrs. Clinton logs on for discussion at 7:00 pm ET, at which point she will express her delight at being there (but not in a Peter Sellers sort of way).

"This is my first time trying New Balance and the online ordering system which allows you to customize your shoe - I have two comments about the experience;
1. Be sure to check, and triple check the color combinations as the color on screen can be tricky to determine. I thought I was ordering the Grey, and was shipped Cream. Not cool that the colors appear very close in how they are represented online.
2. The insert for the sole, is not glued down, and thus it keeps slipping out each time I remove my foot from the shoe.
I still recommend the product as these concerns may not be concerns for all, but I don't think I'll order again."

"I purchased the custom 574's as a birthday present for my wife and was extremely pleased with the service, quality, and look of the product. I look forward to creating my own pair!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed designing my own shoes. After submitting my design, they were on my porch in 3 days. New Balance is the only brand I wear. They fit better than any other shoe. Excellent product, fun to design your own."

"After wearing the shoes for about 2 hours (in an office so nothing strenuous), I noticed that the threading near the front of the shoe was already loose. After paying a large sum for a customized shoe, I'd expect the quality of the shoe to be much better than this."
