->"(reading aloud) OHMYSHIT WTF ASSHOLES Y R U BEING EVIL CHEATERS! (commentary) Becaause you're a [[JerkSue dou]][[BastardBoyfriend che]]."
-->-- [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e57A8eP9sa0&feature=channel gubgub434]]'s DramaticReading of ''Narutoveangance Revelaitons''
[[GenderBlenderName Sam and Alex]] are a married couple, but Sam is growing dissatisfied with the relationship. Maybe Alex isn't as attractive now as in the past. Maybe Alex doesn't appreciate Sam's friends and hobbies. Maybe the passion's just gone from the marriage. Either way, Sam meets Chris, who's everything Alex isn't, and starts an affair. Now we all know cheating is [[AndThatsTerrible A Bad Thing]], so it follows that we aren't supposed to side with Sam, right? Wrong.
There are many reasons why someone who cheats might be portrayed sympathetically:
* Pay Cheating Unto Evil - their partner's a hateful bastard who stifles or [[DomesticAbuse abuses]] the cheater.
* Pay Cheating Unto Cheating - their partner is cheating themself, in which case the cheating is a form of LaserGuidedKarma.
* Pay Cheating Unto Boring - their partner is boring and they want a more exciting lover, or the marriage has gone on for too long and they want a change.
* Pay Cheating Unto Bad Sex - their partner is [[{{Asexuality}} asexual]], impotent or just bad at sex. A form of AcceptableTargets.
* Pay Cheating Unto Normal - their partner is a NiceGuy or RomanticRunnerUp who just can't compete with the cheater's One True Love
* Pay Cheating Unto Various - more than one of the above
* Pay Cheating Unto Fine With It - for [[MyGirlIsASlut one reason]] or [[ArrangedMarriage another]], the partner knows about the adultery and is perfectly okay with it.
But whatever the reason, if they cheat and are portrayed sympathetically then it fits the trope, making it fall more on the "Good" side of GoodAdulteryBadAdultery.
Compare MyGirlIsASlut. TheUnfairSex is a {{Subtrope}} dealing with a DoubleStandard to do with this.
Contrast EthicalSlut, where cheating usually isn't considered okay or sympathetic at all - but affairs are not considered cheating as long as the communication/relationship is open.
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Evil]]
* Hank Rearden from ''Literature/AtlasShrugged''. Given the [[AuthorTract nature of the book]], go ahead and guess what his wife is like...
* A commercial advertising an internet service that connects lovers...who happen to be married to other people. The commercial shows a woman on a horrible date (with her husband, we're clearly meant to assume). After acting like a {{Jerkass}}, the husband excuses himself and the wife makes eyes with a handsome man across the restaurant.
* In Jill Paton Walsh's ''A Piece of Justice'', "Giddy"'s wife ironically stifled him in her attempts to try to force him into achieving professional fame. He valued his long-time mistress more as an old friend who wouldn't nag him about his work than anything else.
* In Creator/DorothyLSayers' ''[[LordPeterWimsey Clouds of Witness]]'', Mrs. Grimethorpe is in an abusive marriage, while the Duchess of Denver is a shrew.
* In the ''Series/{{Lost}}'' episode "The Other Woman," Goodwin cheating on Harper with Juliet is depicted sympathetically, partly because Harper's a shrew, but also because Juliet is a main character and Harper is not. Goodwin also mentions that he had already been sleeping on the couch for a year before Juliet arrived.
* In the movie ''Film/{{Waitress}}'', the main character cheats on her husband and is portrayed with sympathy, mainly because the husband is an abusive jerk. Her lover, whose likability shouldn't be condoned as his adultery, however, who is also married, is given less sympathy in the end when we finally meet his wife, who seems to be a very nice person who has no idea that her husband is cheating. [[spoiler: Rightfully, the protagonist gently breaks up with him, telling him his wife has "so much trust"]].
* The book ''Literature/EthanFrome'' portrays Ethan's wife Zeena as a hypochondriac shrew who stifles him, making his attraction to her sweet, vivacious cousin Mattie extremely understandable. Although it must be noted that the narrative is from Ethan's perspective so it's possible he's [[UnreliableNarrator not being entirely honest about just how horrible Zeena is]] (especially since there are a few hints that he wasn't entirely understanding of Zeena either) and also that he [[FateWorseThanDeath suffers HARD for trying to escape with Mattie]].
* Film/TheWholeNineYards: Matthew Perry's character cheats on his wife but she and her mother are freeloading off of him, its a loveless relationship, and she goads him into trying to bring a notorious hitman to justice [[spoiler: And thats just what he knows about her. She also calls in a hit on him as her real goal is to get his life insurance money.]] Naturally, the audience has no sympathy for her.
* ''Film/AmoresPerros''. The affair between Octavio and his brothers wife Susanna is portrayed very sympathetically because his brother is a {{Jerkass}} of the highest order who abuses his wife
* ''Film/{{Titanic}}''. Rose cheats on her fiance but he is evil
* ''Film/TheLastKingOfScotland''. The protagonist having sex with Idi Amin's wife was problematic due to the danger of angering a sociopathic tyrant rather than presenting any moral issues.
* Subverted in ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': Niles' ''attraction'' to Daphne is sympathetic because his wife Maris is a frigid, manipulative, emotionally abusive control freak -- but he still never cheats on her even though no one would condemn him that badly for it.
* In Naruto Veangance Revelations, this can be considered to apply to Sakura cheating on Ronan with {{Naruto}}, although she [[LoveMartyr doesn't see Ronan as evil and defends him to Naruto]].
* On the ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'' {{Prequel}} ''RockAndChips'', Reg is neglectful, crude, abusive, and all too happy to sit at home, watch Joan bring home the bacon and then waste her meagre wages down the pub. Is it any wonder she jumps into bed with Freddie Robdal - debonair and attentive, if somewhat unreliable and immoral - the first chance she gets?
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Cheating]]
* Janet Weiss from the ''RockyHorrorPictureShow'' decides to cheat on Brad by sleeping with Rocky after discovering Brad slept with Frank. Though, Frank did seduce Janet before going to Brad...
* In the Korean film April Snow, the lead male and female found out their wife/husband was cheating on them, with the other. Early in the movie, when the two leads were sitting together and discussing the relationship between their spouses, one of them joked wouldn't it be funny if ''they'' cheated on said spouses for cheating on them. Guess what happens?
* Derek aka "Dr. [=McDreamy=]" from ''GreysAnatomy'' cheated on his wife Addison with Meredith, but only because she cheated on him with his best friend (although she isn't without her sympathetic traits), and the audience is expected to root for Derek and Meredith to end up together.
* The Countess in ''Il Muto'' (ThePhantomOfTheOpera's pastiche of opera buffa) is cheating on her husband with a mute male servant. The Phantom comments that the role of the Countess must be played with charm and appeal, while the husband is not only a bore but a lech who takes a shine to the 'maid' (the Countess' lover in disguise).
* In the manga/anime ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'' by Creator/{{CLAMP}}, cram school teacher Ms. Shimizu starts a relationship with Shimbo, one of her (adult) students after her husband becomes completely engrossed with their [[RobotGirl persocom]]. The turning point comes when she gets locked out of their house because he simply forgot about her. When Hideki finds out he is at first ''not'' sympathetic and accuses Shimbo of being a homewrecker until he finds out the real circumstances behind it.
* ''Series/{{Scandal}}'': President Fitzgerald Grant, who cheated on his wife and First Lady Mellie Grant. Mellie is a cheater, too.
* On ''Series/{{ER}}'', when Peter begins an affair with the married Jeanie Boulet. Viewers have watched the relationship develop over the past season, so we already know that it's not some sleazy fling, but that she's genuinely torn between him and her husband. When we later learn that her husband has been cheating on her left and right throughout their marriage and has given her HIV, she becomes even more sympathetic.
* [[SoapOpera Soaps]] trot this one out quite frequently, but ''Series/TheYoungAndTheRestless'' ends up subverting it when Nick sleeps with Grace to get back at wife Sharon for her cheating on him with Diego. Problem is, the marriage was already rocky as they were struggling to deal with their grief over the death of their infant daughter and Sharon ran to Diego when she found Nick canoodling with Grace, whom he'd ''already'' had an affair with several years prior, ultimately making Sharon the example of this trope.
* In ''Literature/TheTestamentOfJessieLamb'', when Jessie is upset because her mother has an affair, her aunt tells her that some years ago, Jessie's father had an affair, and they got back together, and that Jessie shouldn't worry too much. Jessie's mother also mentions that her husband doesn't seem to notice her anymore.
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Boring]]
* Sarah Caudwell's ''[[Literature/HilaryTamar The Sirens Sang of Murder]]'': [[spoiler: the contessa di Silvabianca]], although ironically when [[spoiler:her husband]] suspects infidelity, he nearly always suspects the wrong people of being involved.
* Katrina in Shostakovich's opera ''Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District'' cheats on her husband for a variety of reasons: frequent absence of her husband is probably the number one, plus an abusive father-in-law, and the seduction by a sexy hunk.
* John Cleese in ''AFishCalledWanda'' is not at all reluctant to step out on his icy wife for Creator/JamieLeeCurtis.
* Nearly in ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel'', as Marguerite is unaware of her husband's double life and considers him a tame bore.
* Lisa in ''Film/TheRoom'' cheats on her boyfriend Johnny with his best friend, because she considers Johnny boring. Then again, we're not meant to find Lisa very sympathetic, but given that it's [[GaryStu Johnny]] this can [[UnintentionallySympathetic backfire with audiences]].
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Bad Sex]]
* Gladys Mitchell's ''The Saltmarsh Murders'': [[spoiler: the vicar's wife is sexually repressed (the psychiatrist character refers to her condition as 'inverted nymphomania'). Her husband fathers an illegitimate child on their maid; the wife snaps when she learns the father's identity, and kills the maid.]]
* Connie Chatterley's characterization in ''LadyChatterleysLover''. His husband was paralyzed from the waist down in WorldWarI, thus he's impotent.
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Normal]]
* Embarassingly common in various {{Fanfiction}} set after the series in question but centered upon the FanPreferredCouple. Starting with DieForOurShip is far from unknown, but there are quite a few writers who do not even bother with an excuse beyond "My True Love Is X", whereupon the partner gets ticked and we are supposed to hate the poor Cuckold for it.
* Gwen Cooper in ''Series/{{Torchwood}}''. She sleeps with her bad boy colleague Owen due to her forcing to juggle normal life and life with a group of alien hunters.
* In ''Film/TheNotebook'', novel and movie, Noah and Allie [[spoiler: cheat on their partners]], one of whom is even [[spoiler: engaged]]. But we're supposed to root for them because they're {{Star Crossed Lovers}}. Not to mention that [[spoiler: Allie's fiance treats and loves her well]].
* Daisy in ''Film/TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton'' cheats on her husband with Benjamin after he reappears after several years, because Benjamin is her One True Love and her husband is just a nice guy with no development. Also, it was explicitly a one night stand that they both knew would probably be the last time they had sex, since Benjamin had aged down so far its not even clear he was legal at the time.
* UsefulNotes/AmeliaEarhart in Amelia. In this case the reason she is "sympathetic" was because she is obviously remorseful and goes back to her husband who is willing to forgive.
* Julia in Vikram Seth's novel ''Literature/AnEqualMusic''.
* In the second season of ''{{Friends}}'', the long drawn-out WillTheyOrWontThey relationship between Ross and Rachel takes a step forward with their first kiss, in an empty Central Perk. We are supposed to cheer for that kiss, but Ross is, in fact, committed to RomanticFalseLead Julie at that point. Played completely straight.
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Various]]
* Not really fitting with any of the above, but Yuri in ''Film/DoctorZhivago'' is a deeply sympathetic character who maintains his relationships with his loving and beloved wife, and the [[BreakTheCutie lonely and sad]] Lara.
* The Protagonists of ''BrokebackMountain'' are gay, thus, they're not in love with their wives, and they were more or less forced to marry due to the circumstances.
* The pairing of [[SexySecretary Joan Holloway]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Roger Sterling]] in ''MadMen'' is a fan-favorite because it combines two versions of this. On Joan's end, it's "Pay Cheating Unto Evil", as her husband Greg is [[spoiler: a rapist]], and on Roger's end, it's "Pay Cheating Unto Boring", as he isn't truly happy with both his first wife [[GrandeDame Mona]] and his second wife, [[GoldDigger Jane]]. Roger and Joan make each other crazy, but happier than anyone else makes them.
* An UnintentionallySympathetic example is Therese from ''ForBetterOrForWorse'', who according to a pair of GossipyHens was seeing someone before divorcing her husband [[CreatorsPet Anthony]]. However, this gossip is the ''only'' time her having an affair is ever alluded to. Even if one accepts it as truth, it can still be viewed as Pay Cheating Unto Cheating, as Anthony spent most of his marriage lusting after Liz, and the most obivous effort he ever put into making things work with Therese was pressuring her to have a child before she was ready, because BabiesMakeEverythingBetter.
* ''FireEmblem: [[FireEmblemJugdral Genealogy of Holy War]]'' has Cigyun, who cheated on her husband Duke of Velthomer Victor with Prince Kurt of Grandbell, because Victor was a violent drunk who had many mistresses and mistreated her. The guy even has raped under the influence of alcohol Cigyun's personal maid (who has a result gets pregnant with what who'll be Azel, one of the main playable characters). Kurt was at first sympathetic with Cigyun's situation and was supporting her, but along the way they fell in love with each other.
* On ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', Nancy has been cheating on her husband Dale for years with John Redcorn. This is partly Normal (Dale is very average, Redcorn is a charming stud), partly Boring (Nancy at one point says she loves Dale "in a lights-on kinda way" and only sleeps with him on his birthday), and partly something that doesn't quite fit (Dale's a ConspiracyTheorist and GunNut and his antics require a lot of time and stress to clear up). Whoever's truly sympathetic [[DependingOnTheWriter Depends On The Writer]], but all three are shown to be good people, if quirky in their own ways. The affair ends in the fourth season when Nancy and Redcorn begin feeling guilty about betraying Dale's honest trust (which is extremely hard to come by) after Dale shows his real love and devotion for Nancy and uses his knowledge of the U.S. government to help Redcorn recover his tribe's lands. And though Redcorn [[ChocolateBaby quite obviously]] to everyone except Dale fathered Nancy's son Joseph, Dale ''is'' his father.
** One episode had a near example of Pay Cheating Unto Cheating, when Dale worked with an attractive female exterminator who was obviously into him. Nancy even admitted that as much as it hurt her, she had no right whatsoever to complain after everything she'd done. However, Dale ended up rebuffing the other woman out of loyalty to Nancy.
* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', STDImmunity is so thoroughly averted that cheating and possibly catching diseases to spread around is seen as traitorous and irresponsible. It's also a world where, thanks to their rarity, men have little power or say in their marriages. Jerin mentions adventure novels in which the heroines rescued their true loves from abusive wives, and when he meets another male, Cullen mentions an adulterous man with sympathy.
* In ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' fanfic ''FanFic/DirtySympathy'', Klavier cheats on Daryan with Apollo, but Daryan is a vicious DomesticAbuser who uses his connections as a DirtyCop to trap him and constantly makes death threats. Although unusually, Daryan is perfectly ok with Klavier sleeping with female groupies (Daryan also does that himself), but [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident is ready to]] [[IfICantHaveYou kill]] Klavier when he finds out he's having a romantic and sexual affair with a man.
* There are countless cases of a woman becoming a stripper or escort to provide for her family, much to the annoyance of her boyfriend/husband.
* Common in Creator/DanielleSteel's novels. It is almost always Evil, Boring, and/or Cheating. Usually it starts out as one and then is revealed to be the other. Also common is for the couple to be technically separated but still legally married.
* Also common in erotic literature and pornography, where the cheater (who can be either a man or a woman) is portrayed as being justified in their adultery because their partner was leaving them unsatisfied in any of the aforementioned ways.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9367450/1/By-Bonds-We-Are-Bound By Bonds We Are Bound]] portrays both Chrom, who is cheating on his wife Olivia with [[SlashFic male Avatar]] and Olivia, who is cheating on her husband Chrom for [[NewOldFlame Lon'qu.]] Both regret their whirlwind romance and marriage as the passion burned out after a while and have to stay married to not cause a massive scandal and try to find emotional and sexual fulfillment with others without the other knowing about it.
* In [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Myth]], unless you read the version of the myth where Zeus decided whom she would marry, you would see [[LoveGoddess Aphrodite]] as an unsympathetic cheater for poor Hephaestus, but in ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'', the circumstances can make her sympathetic instead. The thing is, Hephaestus, here known in his Roman name, Vulcan, became so consumed with his bitterness of Hera/Juno's treatment when he's an infant (getting tossed from Olympus to sea because he's ugly) that after his marriage to Aphrodite/Venus, he ended up abandoning her in his forge to quench his bitterness (in vain). This has a side-effect of Aphrodite [[BrokenBird thinking that she's unworthy of being a wife and a very lonely individual]] that she started cheating to compensate.
[[folder:Pay Cheating Unto Fine With It]]
* A first season episode of ''{{Friends}}'' has Joey discover that his father has been having an affair. Joey's father is portrayed fairly sympathetically, since he says that he can't help but love the other woman, loves his wife just as much, and is willing to end the affair over how much distress it's causing Joey. Joey's mother then tells him off, saying that she knew about the affair the whole time (Joey Sr. wasn't exactly the best liar) but tolerates it because it makes him a better person and a more attentive husband. Joey eventually gives his blessing to his father, who remains oblivious to his wife's knowledge.
* A quirky subversion in ''[[Literature/TheWindsOfWarAndWarAndRemembrance War and Remembrance]]''. Natalie offers herself to a Nazi camp guard in order to protect her child, but the guard refuses. In this case, her husband Byron, would certainly not have been "fine with it" as such, but he never held it against her, presumably because he understood the desperate circumstances.
* In the historical fantasy [[TalesOfTheBranionRealm The Granite Shield]], a woman plans to [[StalkerWithATestTube seduce]] an enemy monarch in order to [[RescueYourDeity free her god]], since It is [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan trapped in the body of an unbeliever]] and can only be released into his heir. She convinces her fiancee that this is a good idea and he joins her in the scheme, helping her to [[DoubleEntendre consummate]] it.
* In ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'', Lucretia, Batiatus' wife, has been carrying on a "secret" relationship with Crixus, a gladiator. However, she is still very much in love with her husband, and he reveals late in the series that he knew about the affair and was ok with it because it made her happy.
* In the movie ''Film/BeingThere'', the dying Ben Rand is not only fine with his wife's attraction to Chance, he encourages it because he wants her to be happy and taken care of when he's gone.
* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Stannis Baratheon cheats on his wife Selyse with Melisandre. Later, Stannis confesses to Selyse and begs her forgiveness, but she's perfectly ok with it, because Melisandre was able to give him a son, while all of her children were stillborn or deformed. Also, Selyse is TheFundamentalist, who believes that The Red God ordered Stannis and Melisandre to sleep together.
** Later [[ByronicHero Tyrion]] marries [[TheIngenue Sansa]], but maintains the relationship with his lover/whore Shae. The marriage is arranged (or rather forced onto both of them) and Sansa, absolutely horrified of the prospect of having an intercourse with Tyrion, is quite glad that he's taking his business elsewhere, though she doesn't know the specifics, only that her husband 'has whores'.
* 'Genetic Eunuch [[Franchise/{{Dune}} Hasimir Fenring]] is not entirely 'fine' with his Bene Gesserit wife breeding with other men but he shares her conviction that her activities are necessary to the evolution of mankind and he is comforted by the fact that she enjoys it no more than he does.

As the title says, when the Game is released in Japan, what would you like to see in Serebii.net's Coverage?
As for me, I'd like to see if Shiny Pokémon are shiny Outside the Pokéball like Gyrados.
I'd also like to see the differences between the GTS in HGSS to DPPt. If any of the Exclusive Pokémon change, that would also be useful.
A guide to completing the National Pokédex would also be very helpful?
What about you guys?

I've been working on my novel Flames for what seems like forever. I stopped writing it to work on The Black and then stopped writing on it again to get The Black: Arrival written and published. On top of that, I had to put off finishing the book one more time to finish Daemons of Garaaga. That's a LOT of delays.
And that's not even the whole story, so to speak. I wrote nearly 20k words before I dumped them and started over. Writers hate dumping that many words and I'm certainly no exception. But as the story grew in my mind, I knew I was on the wrong track. So a little scorched earth was the only way to go.


text: on Oct 6, 2013 @ 9:06 PMOct 6, 2013 @ 9:06 PM PublishedSt. Louis Rams - TeamReportNFL Team Report - St. Louis Rams - INSIDE SLANTZac Stacy's stats Sunday of 78 yards on 14 carries were good but not great. However, the St. Louis Rams rookie running back was just what a struggling offense needed.Getting the running game it had lacked in the first four games, St. Louis snapped a three-game losing streak Sunday with a 34-20 victory over winless Jacksonville at the Edward Jones Dome.Quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns, while the much-maligned defense contributed three takeaways, including Matt Giordano's 82-yard interception return score in the first quarter.But it was Stacy, a 5-foot-8, 214-pound product of Vanderbilt, who stepped into a starring role in his first NFL start. A one-cut runner who primarily works between the tackles, Stacy had no run longer than 12 yards but consistently churned out 7- and 8-yard runs.That was a blessing for an offense which entered the game ranked last in the NFL in rushing at just 47.3 yards per game."We came into the game looking to establish the run," Stacy said. "You have to give credit to the guys up front who did that. So overall, it was a good team win today."It was a win the Rams (2-3) desperately needed. Marked as a team which could surprise Seattle and San Francisco in the NFC West, St. Louis instead followed up a Week 1 win over Arizona by getting outscored 97-42 in its next three games, including 66-18 in losses against Dallas and San Francisco.Things looked no better early as the Jaguars (0-5) pushed the Rams around in the first quarter, outgaining them 156-27 in building a 10-7 lead. But St. Louis tallied 17 unanswered points in the second quarter and nursed its two-touchdown advantage through the second half.After Jacksonville pulled within 27-20 when backup quarterback Chad Henne tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Cecil Shorts with 10:22 left in the game, Stacy got the game-sealing drive started with runs of 12 and 8 yards.Bradford took over from there, hitting passes of 17 yards to Cory Harkey and 9 yards to Austin Pettis to set up the clinching score. Pettis beat Will Blackmon's coverage down the right sideline and Bradford lofted a perfectly thrown 31-yard score to him with 5:45 remaining."Being able to establish the running game was big for us," said Pettis, who also caught a 4-yard scoring strike with 27 seconds left in the first half. "Zac was great. He gave us a big lift."St. Louis will go into a two-game road trip against Houston and Carolina hoping to keep its newly revived running game on track."It's definitely a confidence-booster for the running game," Stacy said. "But overall, whatever play is called, we'll execute it."-----------------------------------------------NFL Team Report - St. Louis Rams - NOTES, QUOTESThe Rams' offense works a bit better when it can run the ball. St. Louis ran for 143 yards Sunday, nearly matching its cumulative total of 189 yards in the first four games.It may have found a starter at running back in rookie Zac Stacy, who rushed for 78 yards on 14 carries. Stacy has probably earned a start for next week at Houston as long as a late-game rib injury doesn't hamper him in practice.--Special teams continue to be not so special. The Rams committed five of their six penalties in the kicking game, one wiping out a 48-yard punt return from Tavon Austin.St. Louis has been the most-penalized team on special teams over the last year-plus, regularly costing itself with an inability to play clean football. That routinely puts the offense in bad field position.QUOTE TO NOTE: "Regardless of whether we win all 16 games or lose 16 games, we're all we got. We circle the wagons when things don't go right. We create our own energy." -- OT Joe Barksdale when asked if he has heard mounting criticism of the team during a three-game losing streak.-----------------------------------------------NFL Team Report - St. Louis Rams - STRATEGY AND PERSONNELCB Cortland Finnegan (thigh) was among the inactives for St. Louis, which also played without starting RT Rodger Saffold for the third straight game.--RB Zac Stacy's career-high 79 rushing yards Sunday was the most by a Rams player this season.--S Matt Giordano's 82-yard interception return was the second touchdown of his career, the first coming in 2007 while a member of the Colts.--The Rams' other inactives: DE William Hayes, OL Barrett Jones, OL Brandon Washington, DT Matt Conrath, T Mike Person.

Letter: Give Cornerstone a chance
I have been an educator in Memphis for 18 years. I had the good fortune to meet Lisa Settle and shadow at Cornerstone Preparatory School one day last spring after I had heard what wonderful things were going on inside Christ United Methodist Church-Cornerstone Prep (Dec. 22 article, "Binghamton hot about charter school / Lester parents angry at Cornerstone takeover").
What I found was a dedicated leader and a visionary administrative team whose passion is to turn around failing schools and give all children a way to succeed in life. What I found was a school full of children from the inner city who were truly learning. The majority of kindergarten students were reading on a second-grade level, and others had small-group instruction and other support to help get them up to level. Classroom management was impressive, especially when one considered that some of these teachers had only been teaching seven months.
No, not all teachers are certified. Many of them are members of the Teach for America program, but they receive extensive training in classroom management and lesson delivery before they ever set foot in a classroom. While I am certain that the certified teachers who have been at Lester Elementary for the last 10 years have done their best, it is time for them to have outside help when one considers that Lester has consistently been labeled a "failing school" by the state.
In 2011, more than 90 percent of students at Lester were below proficient level in math. These are our future employees and employers. Something had to be done; things simply could not continue in the fashion that they had been.
Slavery? Are you kidding me? That's the comparison that one Lester Elementary supporter is making to the takeover of the school by Cornerstone Prep. If anything, Cornerstone's excellent results and proven success will free children at Lester from the bonds of illiteracy and a cycle of poverty that often seems impossible to break.
I applaud Lisa Settle and her team at Cornerstone, and I pray the people of Binghamton and Lester Elementary will wake up and appreciate the gift they have been given.

Wigan Warriors sign England's Scott Taylor from Hull KR
Wigan Warriors have signed 21-year-old England international forward Scott Taylor from Hull KR for a "substantial settlement fee".
Taylor was under contract at Craven Park, but refused to enter negotiations over a new deal with Rovers.
Scott Taylor Wigan and England forward
"Anyone who knows even a little bit about rugby league knows about Wigan"
He is the second player from Hull KR to make the switch to Wigan for the 2013 season, with half-back Blake Green also moving to the DW Stadium.
Taylor has signed a two-year deal, with the club having an option for a third.
The loose forward, who made his England debut against the Exiles in July, told BBC Radio Manchester: "When you're growing up, Wigan are a team that you always look at.
"Anyone who knows even a little bit about rugby league knows about Wigan.
"They're one of the best teams in the world and to have the chance to sign for Wigan is a dream for me. I'm over the moon that I've signed on the dotted line and I'll be with them next year."

NEW ORLEANS - MARCH 20: Coach John Calipari of the Kentucky Wildcats talks to his team during the second round of the 2010 NCAA men's basketball tournament at the New Orleans Arena on March 20, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Dave Martin/Getty Images)
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky coach John Calipari hopes "Camp Cal" yields a better-conditioned and more committed team. Two days in, the intense workouts have at least gotten the Wildcats' attention. With no early risers on the roster, Kentucky players have found it harder to awake for the 7 a.m. workouts than the exercises. Not that basic training has been easy, what with strength coach Ray "Rock" Oliver screaming at them as they run. Then comes afternoon practice with Calipari, who instituted the routine after Tuesday's victory over Samford. Despite a rout of the Bulldogs, he was unhappy with the Wildcats' second-half effort and vowed to change their attitude and fitness. Kentucky's response Saturday against Portland (3-5) could determine whether Camp Cal lasts a few days or continues into the Christmas break. What's important is that everyone is on board with the program. "We weren't in shape," junior guard Jarrod Polson said Friday. "Coach saw that and we needed something to ...

On Thursday, the Chicago Bears announced that they have signed veteran quarterback Jay Cutler to a new seven-year contract and while the financial terms and structure are still undisclosed at the time of this post, several are reporting that the average yearly value will come in at around $18 million.
Cutler was set to become an unrestricted free agent and now that his situation has been addressed, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, along with New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, figure to be next on the list to get mega-deals via contract extensions during the offseason.
Roethlisberger, who in 2013 played every snap for the first time in his career, still has two years on his current contract, but judging by the Steelers track record, an extension is forthcoming. As far as new money goes for Roethlisberger, whose final two years of his current contract total out to be $27 million, that will likely average out to be more than the $20.1 million that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco received last offseason and it will likely include a signing bonus somewhere in the neighborhood of $30-32 million.
The Steelers will certainly need the salary cap room in 2014 that a Roethlisberger extension would provide them, so getting this done prior to the start of free agency would certainly be a good thing. The last time that Roethlisberger was given an extension was in the early part of March in 2008, so that indeed could be the timeframe that we are looking at this time around.
It's just crazy what people get paid for playing a game. I am all for resigning BR and know this is a billion dollar sport but it is just amazing to receive a 30 million dollar signing bonus. Just crazy.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ben should take less money because one way or the other he will have more than he knows what to do with. But if we wish to believe what he says (He wants to win more Super Bowls than Bradshaw), then he better be prepared to take a lot less money than his supposed worth on the free market.
Any savings he gives to the Steelers means potentially a few more decent players for the team. Come on, man….let's win championships.
I hope you are correct. I still have thoughts that at some point the gigantic tv deal they signed 2 years ago will be reflected in a large salary cap increase. Maybe the owners have done some fancy accounting and will comtinue to pretend that revenues havent increased enough to give the players a raise, but i still think it will happen.
So at that point, qb salaries could explode even more. So now would be a great time to secure him at a more reasonable price.
I disagree with you on this one. I think they need to find the 2014 cap space elsewhere and take advantage of the fact that he is making a below market salary now. The reason why he got so much money up front originally is so the Steelers pay a little less on the back end. Paying him more money this year just continues the practice of kicking cap problems down the road instead of correcting some fundamental problems.
Coming off such a good year is the wrong time to negotiate the extension. Next year he will be a little order and the leverage may switch. If it doesn't, let him play out the deal and franchise him in 2016. Any extension that pays out more than $47m from 2014-2016 is just spending money that doesn't need to be spent.
Cap problems are here to stay. As steeler fans, we are not the only ones experiencing them. Every team has them. If you have a franchise QB past his rookie contract (which every team strives to have one) you have much bigger cap issues. All the big name free agents that are signed away from their original teams are by other teams with rookie or jurneyman QB contracts.
So sign ben, and lets continue discussing how to salvage our team outside of htat.
Don't think of it in those terms. Think how much money does he make for the rooneys and the NFL by selling tickets and TV? He is just an investment for them to put the best product on the field.
For this very reason don't overlook polumalus' value to a team like Jacksonville that can't fill seats or sell jerseys. The hair makes him a household name.
This is actually a well thought out plan. Franchising a player means that they usually play hard as hell to showcase what they ahve to get a long term deal. It's hard to argue that he is not worth top 5 money in the league. Especially if a franchise tag is coming on the heels of a "discounted" season as he is due next year.
Agree, except that I don't necessarily think he is making below market value now. He is a tier II QB generally ranking in the top 6-10 range (admittedly there are overpaid QBs in this range). He is very valuable to the organization, but given his injury history we must consider that we won't play healthy through the years ahead. Yes, he plays hurt, but he doesn't play well hurt. We'll be hit with nearly $7mil per year in each of the next two years for earlier restructured bonuses and he'll be making salaries around $12mil per year. So cap hits of $18 mil per year. The advantage of an extension this year is that we can save cap space in '14 and '15 on base salaries, but we would be adding new signing bonus prorations, so at best our cap savings might be $5-$7 million. I'd say do an extension this year if he is open to favorable numbers, otherwise hold til next year when we may have better leverage (or have a better sense of how his health and performance will be as he progresses through his 30's).
Has Ben asked for that trade yet? LMAO!
That's really easy for us fans to say though…. I'm sure fans of every team in the NFL want the same thing for their perspective team's top stars
Man, not an unexpected contract, but still wow, that much for an injury prone QB(Cutler, not Ben) who doesn't have a single SB yet.
Flacco's 20M contract was based on one of the best postseason runs an AFC QB has had in a long time. His numbers were quite good in last year's playoffs which followed a very solid playoff performance the prior year. He gambled and won as an unrestricted free agent. I hope the NFL doesn't try to use Flacco's regular season as a basis to compare other QBs and takes into acfcount the premium he got for being that well timed unrestricted free agent.
I know they are great QB's .. no question about that..especially Ben R. #7 But there must be a time where they ask themselves some hard questions.. ie. franchise QB's and Ben himself..a tough career question… "Do I want the largest contract and all the other teammates to walk into free agency… or do I want to share a piece of the pie and WIN another Super Bowl (s) #7,#8,#9?
Agreed. I'd prefer the team does not touch Ben's contract this offseason. I think the team is already overpaying for an average team that is still
in transition. I would not rush out to give pay raises. Nor would I
continue to defer large amounts of salary cap money at this point in
If they do extend Ben this offseason and continue to defer large amounts of cap money from his contract (and others), it will likely mean they'll need to blow up the team when Ben's time is over. They'll be left with a ton of dead money from Ben's contract (and others) which will cripple the team for at least one season from a salary cap standpoint. Those are risks I would not be willing to take this offseason, but I don't doubt that Colbert may be committed to that strategy unless Rooney instructs him otherwise.
I think Flaccos contract is more a product of the time frame rather than his production in the playoffs. Granted that helped immensely. If they let their young QB walk following a superbowl run it would mar the legacy of ozzie and set teh frachise back in a competitive division. What signal would that send to their growing fanbase? I think he was getting a huge contract even if he pooped the bed in the playoffs and they won the superbowl (Trent Dilfer style).
Saying or expecting someone else to take less money than they are worth is weak regardless of how much they make. NFL players only have a certain window of time (some longer than others) in which to earn their money and no one should expect them to do anything other than maximize their earnings potential.
Hopefully, he will go the Brady and Crosby route and take a little less , but still competitive wages.Plus, if Steelers extend him 2 years early, they should get a discount for removing some uncertainty.
But it was still a gamble. Ozzie felt like Ravens would win either way. He made a very generous offer of an extension. Flacco refused. Ozzie felt like even if he lost the gamble, that would mean, they are winning a SB with Flacco on a salary drive. And if Flacco lost the SB, his salary would not be any higher than offered in the prior offseason.
No one could have expected the spectuclar TD to INT numbers Flacco put up. Not a single turnover? And Ravens faced some high quality teams in the playoffs.
it was the combination of the prior solid playoff run by Flacco with that SB run that gave him leverage as a young QB on an upswing who is better when the stage is bigger that gave him that premium as an unrestricted free agent. if Ravens just franchised him and he waited another year, he would have lost that gamble.
We wont have a chance to win another super bowl anytime soon without Ben, but this Cutler contract extension is a huge overpay for him. I think that just drove up both Ben's and Manning's new extensions a lot more than they were going to be.
No one says that about movie stars and singers who make mega-millions for performing, too. It's no different for athletes. They aren't just playing a game, they're doing it better than anyone in the world.
It's a really nice sentiment, but for the most part unrealistic. Sure there are a few players in the past that have done that but it is certainly not the norm. I don't know if I would do it. His primary job isn't to win games, or even Super Bowls. His first and foremost concern is, and should be, taking care of his family for generations to come.
I can't believe they have Cutler that much money! I don't see it in him.
yeah and they also risking bone broke, concussions, ACL tears and many other injuries. and their job spends over only 10 -15 years… yeah i wish i could get paid that , but i don't. but i don;t hate on them for it. Cause if they don't get paid all that then all these owners, tv broadcast company, cable and NFL would be getting all the loot..
No question that Ben is a franchise quarterback and due a representative contract. That being said, I believe that the game of football is being ruined by the lack of some sort of salary structure. On many teams the few highest paid players are accounting for a huge chunk of the salary cap. This often leaves too little cash for players that are just as necessary as the QB. Nowhere is this more evident than with the Steelers and their OL. In this era of free agency, guaranteed contracts and ego driven desire to be the highest paid player at his position, it's going to get worse. I'm not sure movie stars and the like are a good parallel case; their contracts usually not guaranteed if they don't deliver at the box office. It's not a question of whether or not they deserve to be paid the huge sums, but rather that more of the players should reap a bigger portion of the pie.
people seem to foget that Brady is two up on contracts for their careers..
Pay him market, pay him what he's worth. He's the crown jewel of the franchise.
Get it done Colbert!
#43 has seen his better days; it amazes me how some fans get so infactuated with what a player has done in the past, opposed to being realistic to what he can do for the team in the future. It's time to get younger and faster. Better yet, it's past due time. As far as #7 goes, I guess the Rooney's have to do what they have to do. There is only two QB's IMHO whose play on the field matches a salary of 20M per season, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. And I still would be reluctant to pay that kind of money to them. I will say this though, down the strecth in 2013 was the best #7 has played in his career. After signing his contract, will he regress?
Pay him…pay that man his money
Teddy KGB
Thank you, I was just about to write a very similar comment. I really don't think they should extend him now with 2 modest years left on his contract and his "market value" for an extension currently as high as it will ever be. We seem to be in the minority, but I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I'm surprised at Cutler's deal too, and I'm surprised it got done so quickly. I thought it would last until March, and come in around 4yrs/$60M.
Remember though, it's not just Flacco who has a huge contract. Brees was first, then Flacco, Rodgers, and Matt Ryan. Heck, even P Manning, who was 35 and coming off a year-long injury with concerns over whether he would ever perform well again, got $19.2M/yr. 20M is now the norm for a franchise QB.
I think you are underestimating the season 43 had, especially after he was allowed to play his regular position. I encourage you to page through the stats and compare him to the likes of Barry, Weddle…Keep in mind that he played all 16 games as well and showed up lighter compared to other seasons. I didn't watch other safeties every game, but 43 was felt out there in a positive way the last 12 games. His impact was huge; by far still our biggest playmaker.
You misread my post anyway, I was referring to the his marketability to the average fan, not you or me. To the NFL he is worth more in a market like Jacksonville than in Pittsburgh. A few kids in Florida would buy a wig, the jersey and a few tickets to go see him. Agree? That's all I said.
I am not naive to think that he played or will play at an MVP level again. But that does not mean that he is worth writing off right now. He was deserving of the probowl.
I also disagree on your assessment of BB's value. In simple economics terms your model doesn't work.
And you last sentence "After signing his contract, will he regress?"…That could be applied to every player in the NFL. Do you suggest that we sign everyone to 1 year deals? That takes away from football being a team game.
To say that Ben played EVERY snap for the FIRST time in his career in 2013 is false. Ben also played EVERY snap back in 2006 or 2007, I believe.
Okay guys, I get what you're saying, but here's a couple of points. If in his lifetime with the Steelers he makes $100 million or $250 million, it is still tons and tons of money for his family, for charities, and hell, he would have enough left over to create a couple on little Ben villages in Africa or whatever he wants. Plus, he can invest it and make much, much more. So obviously, those amounts are certainly not what he will be remembered for, but we will remember him much, much more if he helps win more Super Bowls.
Also, he has actually said that he loves the Steelers, and he truly does want to win. If so, then I challenge him to put his money where he mouth is. Or, in this case, take a little less money so they can keep or sign more players that will be needed for those future championships.
God damn i hope Ben doesn't get greedy and ask for like a 150 million dollers.
Cutler, Flacco, and Manning Jr are all second level QBs that got fat contracts because there just aint alotta NFL level A grade QBs out there…
OK, two of em, got hot streaks and won the SB, but there seasonal histories are second level, so to compare them to BEN does BEN an injustice!
2006 and 2007 he played in 15 games, so he missed 1 game each season. 2008 he played in all 16 games and on a quick look, every snap.
Well, Eli won two super bowls and was SB MVP both times. So there's hardly an injustice to compare him to Ben.
You have skills to play a popular game, which at any time your career could finish by an injury and in this new era a 28 years old player is old, so if you can get those millions then it is alright. It is not a normal job as anybody could get and do it for 30 years, it could be 5 years or less than 10.
sorry nolrog – he was replaced in the 1st game in 4th QTR with a shoulder injury in 2008….

The Wire: Season 3 Episode 1. Loved the first two. and I knew he was there on this chapter, but just heard him and.. bang! Here's Carcetti/Littlefinger :)
I enjoy playing on xbox live and killing people who get super angry and being super nice to them. they are annoyed but don't know what to say because I'm being nice. it's trolling to a new level :cool:
LMFAO!!! This is an actual site for actual bidets, which makes it all the more funnier. Clean butts ya'll!
***IMPACT Spoilers for next week***
I don't know whether that's the Thanksgiving episode, because I don't know when Thanksgiving is.
* In Gut Check, Wes Brisco defeated Garett Bischoff with the Ranhei (Kofi Kingston's SOS.) Kurt Angle came out during the match and celebrated with Wes after he won.
* Joey Ryan comes out and says it is Open Fight Night for all the gut check winners. Ryan says he knows all about Gut Check but he doesn't need it since he was born a star. Hogan says he is trying to tear him and Matt Morgan apart but he can't do that. He says that he and Matt Morgan are the future tag team champions and calls out Chavo for a match. He says Matt Morgan is big but he says he is a giant while looking down his own tights and says that size matters.
* Chavo Guerrero defeated Joey Ryan by DQ when Matt Morgan came out and chokeslammed Chavo. Hernandez came out for the save and Ryan and Morgan bailed.
* Sam Shaw comes out and says it is an honor and a privilege to be a Gut Check winner and says he is calling out the first gut check winner: Alex Silva.
* Sam Shaw defeats Alex Silva with a high angle diving leg drop.
* ODB and Eric Young are walking backstage with Hulk Hogan. Eric Young wants to do the turkey challenge tonight. Hogan OKs it and tells them to watch out for Aces & 8′s. When Eric Young walks away Hulk Hogan says "I want to be him when I grow up."
* Christian York comes out and says for 16 years he has traveled dark roads to get here and today he feels like the luckiest SOB in the world. With luck on his side, he is going to call out someone he respects and admires: Jeff Hardy.
* In a non-title match, Jeff Hardy defeated Christian York. Much more competitive than one would expect, even seeing Christian York hit the twist of fate on Hardy.
* After, the two shook hands and Hardy raised York's hand before celebrating. Bobby Roode stormed the ring and laid out York with a spinebuster then speared Hardy before yelling in Hardy's face while holding the belt.
* Eric Young and ODB were seen backstage until the bumped into Tara and Jesse as well as the Robbies. Eric Young called both Robbie E and Jessie out for the turkey challenge. Jessie and Robbie E also traded off saying "sup bro" to each other.
* Taeler Hendrix came out and said that she has worked hard since winning Gut Check and wants to call out her original gutcheck opponent Tara.
* In a non-title match, Tara defeated Taeler Hendrix via the widow's peak. Taeler had a more competitive match. Tara got in Taeler's face while she was still laid out from the peak.
* Eric Young defeated Robbie E and Jessie Godderz in a triple threat via a roll up on Jessie, forcing Jessie to put on the turkey suit. Jesse put it on and he and Tara left. After, Aces & 8′s attacked Eric Young. They handcuffed ODB to the turnbuckle as they attacked him with a bat and hammer. Al Snow, Simon Diamond and D'Lo Brown ran down and Aces & 8′s bailed. Eric Young was stretchered out.
* Christopher Daniels and Kazarian came out. Daniels said at Final Resolution it will be him and AJ for one last time. He and Kazarian said they are thankful for the fact that AJ has proved everything that they have said about him being a failure to be true and Kazarian calls out AJ for a match and Daniels goes to the back.
* AJ Styles defeated Kazarian via the Pele.
* Austin Aries comes out and says he came out and said he has been telling everyone that he has big things planned. He said that the deck is being stacked against the greatest man that ever lived. He said there is one name responsible for all of that and that is Hogan. He said that since it is Open Fight Night he wants his " fake tan bleached blond ugly ass" out here and then specifies he is referring to Brooke. She comes out to the stage and Aries says he is sick and tired of the name Hogan. For the last 25 year, he has only seen Hogan. Aries says that she is probably as sick of it as he is. He says it is probably hard to keep her life private. Says maybe it could have been "Mrs Brooke Trump or Mrs Brooke McMahon" and never thought it would be "Mrs Bully Ray." She said knowing her dad he won't let her give her name away and says that it will be "Mrs Bully Ray Hogan." He shows a clip of the two arguing from two weeks ago then shows the clip of Tara and ODB walking into her office with the two sitting together. Aries says if she was that hungry for love she didn't have to settle for the turkey because he would have given her all the stuffing she would need. Hogan's music hits and he walks down to the ring, Bully Ray charges past him and Aries left to ringside and was laughing. Hogan looked at Brooke until Brooke ran away crying. Hogan gave Ray a bad look and walked out as Ray seemed disappointed while Aries continued to laugh and smirk his way to the back.
* Brooke Tessmacher defeated Madison Rayne with a roll-up.
* Zema Ion defeated Kenny King and Kid Kash. Kenny hit a springboard blockbuster on Kid Kash then Ion threw King out of the ring and stole the pin.

The angle die; Roll a...
1 - Cut A Promo

5 - Interfere In A Match

Or something along those lines ;)
So this is what's happened..
He grabbed her hand and wanted to go back out with her, until she said that she was going out with me. I actually know this dude, and he's in Year 12 in the sixth form I do in school. Me and him were having words before and we nearly got into a fight, but my mates and his mates stopped it. But in lunch, she was in the library writing up her essay, and he approached her before calling her a "sket." She told the head of Sixth Form of him, and he had words with him, but what did he do? Nothing. That's right, NOTHING. Just had some words with him. He got away with it the punk. She realized this, and he started calling her some other names, and when she was walking to her next lesson, he started doing impressions of sex moves behind her. She turned around and realized this. I did NOT know any of this cause I was at football. She literally ran to the astro turf, luckily for me, I just changed into my clothes. She told me, and I snapped. I kicked the door open in the "link", and I hit the prick. We got in a massive brawl, and there were like 6-7 teachers stopping it while I was having a right go at him. Now, I'm on my last warning, while he's been kicked out.
And also, Rob. He was wearing an Ed Hardy hoodie. ;) But the prick did manage to give me a nose bleed, bastard.
Also, provide some translations when you drop the Kent slang, yer on a international forum. I DON'T GET IT:(.
Odd coincidence I also posted a fight vid, although it's on the mean streets of some American city I forgot the name of.

Software-Defined Data Center Symposium
Gestalt IT
Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 8:00 AM (PDT)
Software-defined Everything is taking the IT world by storm. And the drivers are clear: virtualization, big data, mobility, and an insatiable desire for more, bigger, faster. That large-scale datacenter infrastructure is well beyond its breaking point is undeniable. But where are the solutions? And more importantly, what are the pragmatic steps that organizations must take to make the promise of the software-defined datacenter a reality?
Our entire industry is feeling the reverberations of a major architectural shift from static silos to a more dynamic, highly interconnected infrastructure inclusive of compute, storage, networking, and applications. But the transition from the one to the other is neither straightforward nor well documented. And for those of us who have lived through massive transformations before, we know that the line between success and failure is quite fine, depending on far more than just the supporting technologies.
At the 2013 Software-defined Data Center (SDDC) Symposium, we will bring together vendors, practitioners, analysts, and pundits to discuss the practical realities of successfully navigating these turbulent waters. Our experts will provide different viewpoints on everything from technologies to business implications, from organizations to talent in an attempt to uncover what exists between you and the marketing promises.
The SDDC panel discussions will each feature a mix of user and vendor with an eye toward reconciling what might be with what really is. The panel discussions include:
Whatever the path for your specific organization, one final outcome will look a lot different than today. Join us for a day of networking, presentations, and panels to prepare yourself for the inevitable rise of SDDCs.
Tickets are now available for the Symposium. We have two ticket types available, both including full attendence and lunch:
Tickets are $25 (General Admission) and $50 (Reserved).
Note that event capacity is severely constrained. Therefore, we are focusing on end-user implementers and encouraging others to participate online by viewing the live video stream at http://tfd.bz/SDDC13
The Software-Defined Data Center Symposium is a co-production of SDNCentral and Tech Field Day. Our media partners are Packet Pushers Podcast and Gestalt IT.
Event sponsors include Brocade, Embrane, NEC, Nuage Networks, Nutanix, OpenDaylight, and Plexxi.
Gestalt IT is a cooperative of independent IT infrastructure writers, speakers, and event organizers. We host the popular Tech Field Day events.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

Gear Review
A smart middle ground
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I always hated lead belaying with a gri-gri. I've used the Smart several times in the gym and it seems like a good compromise between having a device that autolocks (though I wouldn't trust it to lock as I do a grigri) with the ease of use of an ATC (though not AS easy since the rope sometimes slips off the central groove and gets caught).
I'm interested in how it behaves when belaying someone from the top during multi-pitch climbs. Anyone used this device in that situation?
It specifies that it isn't for multipitch due to its lack of autoblock mode. The double barreled version works just fine though.
Good to know! My smrt is still in transit, slogging over ground shipping, so I haven't had a chance to read any of the specifications. BackCountry, why isn't this available online? Especially with technical gear like this, it would be good to read the intended use policy.
Joe Hoffman
Yeah I made the same mistake, not realizing that the single rope version couldn't be used for multipitch. Oh well... I'll keep it for sport and TR, and buy the Smart Alpine for Multipitch.... half the cost of a gri gri,lighter, and simplier.. thats a no brainer.

Just the other day, I received a registration packet for my 15th college class reunion. My first thought was, "has it really been that long?" My second thought, "do I really want to go?" Don't get me wrong, I had great time in college and I had a fun group of friends. Most of them were fellow music majors, and we practically lived together in the music building. We had classes together, were in musical organizations together, and studied together. Heck, I probably spent more time in the music library than I did in my dorm room. And the same could be said for many of my friends as well. We were a nerdy bunch, but it was fun nonetheless. However, with reunions, we really don't get to relive those days. If I could be sure that my group of friends would be there and we'd do our own thing, I just might consider attending. Reunions though tend to be the ultimate bragging session. Everyone talking about themselves and what they're doing now. We're not the same people now...

26 year old woman | Greenwood, IN, USA | Seeking men 25-30 within 50 miles
You know, the smallest thing can change a life. In the blink of an eye, something happens by chance - and when you least expect it.
I am a pretty easy going person. I enjoy long walks, hanging out with friends, and time with family. I love to laugh and am a generally happy person. I am also getting back into working out after a recent surgery had me down for a while. I would say an ideal person for me would be someone who is easy going and doesn't take life's obstacles too seriously. A " when one door closes another opens" type of personality. Someone who I can laugh and have fun being around.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Aerobics, Baseball, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
My favorite tv show would have to be Friends. As for right now, I like Revenge and Once Upon a Time. I like pop and country music. I really like movies and can't make up my mind on a favorite.
I love to watch sports either on tv or live. I love hanging out with my friends and would do anything for them. We tend to do a lot of different things and we are always looking for something new and fun to do.
My last read was "The Siren." I like fantasy novels about mythological creatures. It is a nice break from reality and lets me escape for a little while.

"Thank you for all the work that you do! You are a resource in my home on a daily basis, my family and I appreciate every bit of time you put into every podcast. I found it on itunes while perusing the education category, started at episode one and pulled my daughter out of public school after only about 10 episodes. Purchased every book by John Taylor Gatto and allowed my 11 year old to do as she pleased for about a year now (took a lot of patience and restraint) she is now blossoming into a more self directed human being, she has found a huge interest in anything aquatic and we now spend our days mostly at every beach southern California has to offer (I work nights, Dad does days). I cannot thank you enough for the tremendous impact that your podcast has had on my relationship with my child. I feel free in an unfree world and I thank you for that." -UniversalConscious10

Scarlett Johansson Visits CBS SUNDAY MORNING Today
Hollywood superstar Scarlett Johansson tells CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH Charles Osgood that she hates the nickname "ScarJo" which she's acquired in the media as her popularity has risen.
"That's terrible," she tells Anthony Mason, laughing. "It's so terrible. I hate that name."
Johansson, now starring in the Broadway production of "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof," says the "ScarJo" label is "so crazy." No one in her family calls her that name, she tells Mason in a wide-ranging interview to be broadcast on CBS SUNDAY MORNING today, Jan. 13, 2013 (9:00 AM ET) on the CBS Television Network.
"Hopefully it's going to go away some time," Johansson tells Mason, adding she remembered when it started happening. "But it seemed, like, odd. Like, there's so many actors you would never, like - Kate Winslet was, like, KaWi, KaWi, KaWi. I don't know. Like, why me?"
Mason's full interview with Johansson will be broadcast today, Jan. 13, 2013 on CBS SUNDAY MORNING (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.
Performances of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof starring Scarlett Johansson as Maggie, Ciarán Hinds as Big Daddy, Benjamin Walker as Brick and Debra Monk as Big Mama, directed by Rob Ashford, began on December 18. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof opens January 17 and will play a limited engagement for 15 weeks only, through March 30, 2013 at the Richard RodgersTheatre (226 West 46th Street). BroadwayWorld brings you just-released production shots below!
The cast also includes Emily Bergl (Mae), Michael Park (Gooper), Vin Knight (Reverend Tooker), Brian Reddy (Doctor Baugh). The cast also includes Will Cobbs, Tanya Birl, Jordan Dean, Lance Roberts and Cherene Snow. Playing the children are Laurel Griggs, Victoria Leigh, Charlotte Rose Masi, George Porteous and Noah Unger.
The design team is comprised of Christopher Oram (Scenic Design), Julie Weiss (Costume Design), Neil Austin (Lighting Design) and Adam Cork (Composer and Sound Design).
In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, "Big Daddy" Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. He is distressed by the rocky relationship between his beloved son Brick, an aging football hero who has turned to drink, and his beautiful and feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of Southern gentility slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies and suppressed sexuality reach a boiling point.
