Mike Bercovici only has three starts under his belt at Arizona State, but he etched his name in Sun Devils lore with a miraculous comeback win against USC at the L.A. Coliseum on a Hail Mary for the game's final play.Despite his heroics, Bercovici proved to be just a placeholder until Taylor Kelly returned from a foot injury.

Fantastic Arizona State radio call of USC Hail Mary
For the second time this season, a Pac 12 game ended in a Hail Mary. This time, it was Arizona State defeating USC at the death as Mike Bercovici somehow found Jaelen Strong in front of a group of Trojan defenders grasping at thin air. Radio calls of Hail Marys are always fantastic and this one from the Sun Devils booth is no exception. I love the sheer shock and jubilation...

Arizona State's Last-Second Hail Mary Touchdown Stuns No. 16 USC (Video)
Saturday was an insane day in college football, and the most jaw-dropping finish came late in the night. Arizona State looked like it was about to suffer a tough road loss to No. 16 USC. With just 6 seconds to play and with the ball at the USC 46-yard line, the Sun Devils had only one option. They had to go with the Hail Mary and hope — pray — that it would work. Well, it worked...

Coal India aims at 46 mn tonne production in Dec
Kolkata: Coal India Ltd is targeting 46 million tonnes of production in December, up from 39 million tonnes in November to meet its annual production target of 464.10 million tonnes by March, 2013, a top company official said on Monday.
A production of 46 million tonnes is expected in December, CIL Chairman and Managing Director S Narsingh Rao said on the sidelines of a function here.
This would be just close to seven per cent higher than last year's December month production, when around 43 million tonne of coal was produced.
Rao also expected there would be no environmental hurdle for the company to meet targets, but hinted that some environmental clearances if not cleared by the month-end could become a cause for some worry.
Rao said the company was not considering any price hikes as of now, but admitted that the cost of production had witnessed a substantial increase following the diesel price hike in September by Rs 5 a litre.
"I don't think there is any such proposal under consideration now... We will see. Time to time we take stock of the cost of production and then decide," he said.
Diesel formed a major cost component in coal production and would impact Coal India by Rs 500-600 crore, Rao had said.

BBB issues alert on rental scams
Catchy ads pose woes on Internet
As consumers scan the Internet for good deals, particularly on free classified websites when looking for rental property, sophisticated scammers are poised to prey on unsuspecting people, the Better Business Bureau cautioned in a BBB Scam Stopper alert.
The Western Union Company and the Better Business Bureau have announced they are promoting awareness of scams involving Internet transactions for rental properties.
Online rental scams generally happen in one of two ways, the BBB said in a news release:
Renters looking for a house or an apartment to lease get scammed by someone who poses as an "owner." Victims come across a place in a great area, at a great price. The advertisement looks legitimate, so they reach out to the "owner," generally by email.
The "owner" says the renter can secure the place by sending money to cover an application fee, security deposit, etc. Often, the owner claims there is a need to move quickly, since others are interested. The prospective renter sends the money, but never hears from the "owner" again.
Some "owners" tell victims to send the money in the name of a friend or family member to prove that funds are available, but this should not be used as a security measure.
In another scenario, legitimate owners seek to rent out their property and get scammed by someone claiming to be a renter. "Renters" contact victims, generally by email, and follow up with a check for the deposit. Shortly after that, the renter cancels the deal and asks the owner to wire the money back. The owner soon finds out the check was a fake.
Consumers can lower their chances of falling victim to fraud with these tips:
■ Never use a money transfer service to send money to people you haven't met in person.
■ Never provide your banking information to people or businesses you don't know.
■ Never reimburse someone for a payment made to you by check until you call your bank and verify the funds have cleared.

i do I expect roger to tell the ATP (if he really knows there are drugs) ban those players for a lifetimw or i will blow it, if he loves tennis he wont let any player win a title when he knows he is doping.
It will happen what happened with Armstrong. Something in the chain broke, someone didn't pay someone else, or screwed him in any other way, or didn't want to get blackmailed and the story goes out, one legend is taken to the ground and the sport suffers huge losses (which i don't know if it is the case with cycling. with them it's a bit of a reversed story, as the sport's been popular for being doped and they were actually fighting against it, and were brave enough to take down the icon).
It's a real world, not a movie indeed and dishonest people are all around. What would the drug dealer do if one if his clients tells the police? He'll deny and he'll carry on, while the guy who admits will be stripped off hundreds of thousands of dollars, tittles and respect. We're not talking about murders here.
There is one difference between the real world and the tennis world - the ones who will testify one day will be the biggest losers as they will be the only ones with a proven crime.
What will happen if Borg in 10 years writes a book how at the time they were taking doping? He will sell many books, he will get tons of law suits and the guys who have been giving him the dope at the time would be away from the sport for a long time.

- Fit: True to size
Great as a mid-layer or on its own. I've worn this jacket for every kind of outdoor activity for the last couple years and it never disappoints. It's warm, breaths fairly well, and the durability has been fantastic. I would definitely recommend it for a mid-weight fleece.

Usefull in many ways.
I've used this for almost everything from a midlayer to a pack along for hiking. It has held up well and very versitile.
Sweet Fleece
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Picked this up at a great price on S&C. Haven't taken it off since it arrived a few days back. Soft thick fleece on the outside, fluffy warm fleece on the inside. This is my fourth MH jacket, all size medium. This fits a tad bit tighter in the sleeves and throughout than others, but not enough to size up. As soon as my wife and daughter saw this jacket, they started scouring the web for a women's version!
100% agree. I bought it on SAC thinking it might not be that great, I wear it everywhere, more than my Monkey Man fleece. I wish I would have bought two

Und das bei bis zu einem Drittel geringeren Kosten pro Lead gegenüber dem klassischen "Outbound" Marketing.
In dem Webcast stellen wir Ihnen das Inbound Marketing im Detail vor und zeigen Ihnen praxisorientierten Beispielen, die anschließend sofort umsetzbar sind.

Like every other B2B Marketer you need to generate a constant stream of qualified leads for your sales team. Are you finding traditional marketing tactics are no longer as effective as they used to be? It's because your audience don't want interruptions and so only a small percentage will ever respond to your outbound efforts. Increasingly, web-savvy prospects start their buying journey independently. They research for the products and services they need long before they engage with sales people.

84% aller B2B Geschäfte bahnen sich bereits im Internet an, bevor jemand einen persönlichen Kontakt zu dem Verkäufer aufgenommen hat.

How to Use Content Marketing & Segmentation to Re-engage a Dormant Database

John Sweeney, DemandGen & Renee Himelhoch Chemel, Senior Marketing Manager, Global Programs, ECI Telecom
Join DemandGen for another close up study of Marketing Automation in EMEA. Renee Himelhoch Chemel is a marketing automation and lead-gen advocate with a passion for driving high quality leads to the sales organization. As part of the centralized Corporate Marketing team, she is responsible for prospect and customer engagement. With almost two decades of high-tech B2B marketing and communications experience. Renee is a true believer in face-to-face marketing for the complex sales cycle.
A re-engagement program is a little like a first date. When you reacquaint yourself with someone, usually, your first statement wouldn't be, "Hello, I love you. What's your phone number?" That would be too forward and scare people away. Instead you want to offer the person something interesting about yourself that would engage him/her in conversation, or ask them a question to get the conversation started. By doing a little online flirting, you offer your potential customers a way to get to know your company.
By offering your audience an incentive, content, which is part of your market positioning, you begin that first conversation. As that conversation progresses you also begin to profile your customer with advanced segmentation. A re-engagement program is the first step in getting to know your customers better. Jump in and get started, because maybe if you're lucky - you will have them at "hello".

Michelle Levy AVP Marketing Programs, Lead Management, Next Gen Marketing Architect, ECI Telecom
Join John Sweeney as he shines a light on Demand Generation best practice. Today' webcast features Michelle Levy, AVP of Marketing Programs at ECI Telecom.
Marketers are under increasing pressure to show their contribution to the bottom line. They have evolved from a demand generation machine that was responsible for generating, nurturing and handing leads over to sales to marketers that are focused on bringing measurable value to their companyâs bottom line. The creation of the revenue marketer is the holistic approach to closed loop marketing and this requires sales and marketing to walk down the same path, hand in hand, with the same goals.
So how do we make that change? Michelle Levy, AVP of Marketing Programs at ECI Telecom will share the formula which led to her teamâs successful alignment with a global sales team and ultimately led to the repositioning of corporate marketing as a valuable contributor to the companyâs bottom line. She will share their step by step plan on how they leveraged cutting edge technologies together with dedicated support to show to sales the true value of alignment, and the measurable results of this process and the effect it has had on the sales pipeline, active opportunities and closed business where marketingâs influence has made its mark within the sales organization.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives Tweet Support For Brandi Glanville on the Day of Her Surgery
If Twitter is the barometer of who your true friends are, Brandi Glanville can count at least two of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars as close confidants.
The former model had surgery today to remove a benign tumor from her breast and received words of support from a couple of her fellow housewives.
BFF Lisa Vanderpump tweeted some encouragement, writing:
Oooh the word good was to near to @brandiglanville so I will say it again,good luck today with your surgery.— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) December 12, 2012
Similarly, Kyle Richards assured Brandi that her surgery would go smoothly.
You're in my thoughts today @brandiglanville you're going to be fine!! :-)— Kyle Richards (@KyleRichards18) December 12, 2012
Notably silent on the Twitter front were housewives Adrienne Maloof (whom Brandi has been feuding with), Taylor Armstrong (who tweeted instead about skiing), Kim Richards, Yolanda H. Foster, and even Camille Grammer.
Let's hope Brandi doesn't take social media snubbing too seriously.

Series: BioLogos Basics (7 entries)
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
The Aroma of the Knowledge of God: How the Sense of Smell Inspires Worship and Awe
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Saturday Science Links: December 6, 2014
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
An Ancient and Dynamic Universe
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Faith after Literalism: An Interview with Michael Gungor
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
What Do the Arts Have to Do with Evangelism?
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
No Place Like Home: An interview with ECF grantee Seung-Hwan Kim
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Creation for Kids
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
New Videos Online from the ECF "Author of Life" Project
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
The Noah Movie
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.

Thin face climbing up the right side of the arête to the top anchor shared with P1 of 'Bolee Gold'.
FFA: John Scott
To reach the base of the route, climb the ramp at the base of the south face and look for the bolts.
50 ft (5.10b) Sustained and well-protected sport climbing leads up the left-traversing line of bolts on small edges and knobs. 7 bolts.
50 ft (5.10c) Reachy face climbing up small knobs and edges. 4 bolts.
60 ft (5.6) Easy climbing over interesting rock. Pro: knob tie-offs and cams 0.75" to 3".
100 ft (5.8 R) Meandering face climbing to the summit. Runout 5.7 slab moves 20' above the last bolt may be the psychological crux. 3 bolts. Pro: questionable knob tie-offs, 3" cam.
Don't even think of grabbing those dangerously loose flakes near the arête on P3 and P4. With so many hanging belays, it may be no surprise that this route is seldom climbed in 4 pitches.
Suggested variations:
- Finish the first pitch at the higher new-looking optional 2-bolt anchor (just hangers with no option to rappel) offering a comfortable belay stance on a ledge. Combine the rest of P2 and P3 for a total of three pitches.
- With a 70m rope, stop at the 2-bolt anchor above the comfy ledge. The rest of route (5.10c) can be combined into a single über-pitch.
- With a 60m rope, climb the route in two long pitches by combining P1 + P2 (150 ft) and P3 + P4 (190 ft). Set up the first hanging belay at the 3-bolt anchor with two rusted leeper hangers and one blessedly bomber-looking new bolt.
Descent options:
- Rappel back down the south face with a 60m rope.
- Rappel down the north side of the summit, climb the last pitch of 'Harding's Chimney', then walk off north.
FFA: Gary Anderson, Jay Smith & Rick Sumner, 1977
Finger crack to the overhanging arch, with two bolts leading to a chain top anchor. Pro to 3".
FA: Jim Orey & Charlie Jones, 1971
FFA: Mark Hudon & Max Jones, 1978
Finger cracks to a tightening chimney. Summit the fang at the bolted top anchor and rap off. Pro to 3".
FFA: Jim Orey & M. Vincent, 1971
Thin and difficult to protect crack climbing leads to challenging and sustained bolted face climbing. Rap off with 2 ropes.
FFA: unknown
Climb the thin flake shared with 'Bird Man'[20650141, then move right for delicate face climbing past 3 bolts to the 2-bolt anchor at the top of the fang. Pro 0.4" to 0.6".
FFA: Jay Smith & Paul Crawford, 1982
Climb up the right side of The Fang, then traverse out left onto the face. Tie off knobs on your way to the 2-bolt top anchor shared with 'Talking Heads'.
Variation (5.10d): Starting at the tree, follow the finger crack up the middle of the face of The Fang before moving onto the knobs above.
Top-rope this route after leading P1 of 'Harding's Chimney'. Pro to 1" with slings for tie-offs.
FFA: Greg Dexter & Steve Miller, 1976

Philadelphia Flyers
For the second year in a row, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves staring at the wrong end of a two games to none hole in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. After an embarrassing performance in Game 1, the Orange and Black put together a more respectable effort in an emotional Game 2, but still found themselves falling just short.
In a night where fans bled red, white, and blue just as deeply as they bled orange and black, the Flyers' only American born positional player, James van Riemsdyk, continued his coming out party that has been the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Thank you for your input Koolio.
So far the farmer and you tell me that the first cut is richer because the alfalfa is stronger.
My farrier and my horsey neighbour tell me the first cut is overall poorer in protein because the % of grass to alfalfa is much higher because the grass doesn't really grow much after the first cut. So more hay overall.
Gah! Either way, I will have to acquiesce to the farmers preference as he is cutting it for me! So far he's been taking the first cut (when previous owners were here).
Ah - good point about the grazing on the hayfield, that is EXACTLY why I posted here! I will certainly let you know what Mr Farmer says.
Yes, I've never had anything other than easy keepers so I appreciate your point. Laminitis is my constant fear - I guess poor nourishment is at the other end of the spectrum.
Oh, he was going to do me small bales but his square baler broke on the day.... And I wanted that hay in before it got wet again!

This is one of my favorite books of all times. I read it for the first time when I was a teenager and became fascinated with Dean Koontz. I read all of his books in less than a year and this is definitely his best work. The way the characters are all strangers yet still interrelated and brought together is amazing. The writing style, in most of Dean Koontz's books is very descriptive, metaphorical, large vocabulary words that I often have to look up in the dictionary, yet still simple, fun, and easy to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who believes in fate, anyone who is looking for book that you can't put down. Although it is written in true Koontz fashion, it is till different and though it is fiction you feel like it is real. He even admits to being "not fully sane" while writing this extraordinary piece of work. ANyways, this is a book that is difficult to review just beacuse you do not want to give anything away. It is one that you have to read yourself to appreciate.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on Friday announced that agents with his Crimes Against Children (CAC) unit arrested a Mount Healthy man Thursday night on allegations that he abused two young children who were in his care.
Agents arrested James "Randy" Brown, 23, on two charges of endangering children and two charges of felonious assault.
Mount Healthy Police requested the assistance of CAC unit, which is part of the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), after a woman sought medical care for her 11-month-old son Wednesday night. The boy was later found to have a skull fracture.
"This mother trusted her child with this man, who was a friend of her family," DeWine said. "The safety of the children in this state has always been my top priority, and there is absolutely no good reason to ever harm a child."
Doctors at Cincinnati Children's Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children also examined a 3-month-old unrelated child who had been also been in the suspect's care and found that he had multiple rib fractures.
"After learning of these serious injuries, we made the decision to immediately contact BCI's Crimes Against Children unit to provide their expertise," Mount Healthy Police Chief Marc Waldeck said.

He won't be lazy, he will get a paycheck, and he will be very good for us next year. We have 3 capable backs but now we have insurance for a downslide on the aging Gore. So smart to get him this year when we don't need yet.

GM + XM = Hugs + Kisses x 10
By David Nadelle on Jan 22 2007
TMT is sympathetic. We know you have been balls deep in Christmas-spending spirit for months, so the last thing you want to hear is news about potential purchases. We also know what complete consumer behemoths you all are, so we feel it is our duty to fuel your insatiable inner spendthrift gluttons and tell you that GM have hooked up with XM Satellite to offer, what they say is, a compelling deal. It supposedly went down like this:
[The scene is at GM HQ. A conference call is happening.]
Steve Cook [EVP of Automotive at XM]: "So Rick, what do you think about partnering up and offering XM in some models this year?"
Rick Lee [GM Executive Director]: "Well we've had good luck over the years, but we are always looking for new ideas to grab new car buyers. Satellite radio is hot right now, and we need something big this year. We need something that still shows why we are the best."
Lee's Suckup PA: "Best in the West! Um, the East too..."
Lee: "Uh, yeah... Anyway, where was I there? We need something big this year. As far as marketing it goes, we've always had success with our Chevy ads. America can't get enough of real-life images with a soundtrack of non-threatening, middle of the road, bright-white rock by Bob Seger and John (Cougar) Mellencamp. We definitely will have to throw in some sort of patriotic heartstring-pulling campaign to go along with it."
Cook: "Great. I'm sure we can come up with something super-duper!"
Suckup (rambling): "...North and South too I guess..."
Lee: "Ok, what do you say we go for 1.8 million vehicles? And I'll start right this instance on the advertising."
[Lee presses button on desk and half a wall recedes, exposing Bob Seger sitting on a backwards chair looking intently at a Rubik's Cube, while John Mellencamp dances around flicking watermelon seeds at Seger's greying mullet.]
Lee: Boys, boys!!! Hey, over here! Yeah, that's right, over HERE! Listen up you two... we don't pay you for horsin' around, now…"
Suckup: "Yeah, you heard Mr. Lee... no horsing around! You dick-lices."
Lee (rolling eyes): "Alright. We love what your commercial songs have done for our Chev truck line, so we thought we might pick your brains about an idea we have for partnering up with XM Satellite."
Seger: "A satellite? Where are they going to put that?!? My satellite takes up half the friggin' back porch. Mind you, I do like my Larry the Cable Guy.
Lee: "Bob... any thoughts?"
Seger (elsewhere): "He, he... 'Get 'er done'... he, he..."
[Frisbee sails into Lee's face, bloodying the corner of his mouth.]
Mellencamp: "Hey, gimme back my fuckin' Frisbee man! C'mooooooon! I got that fuckin' Frisbee in Louisville."
The Seeg (crooning): "My America... includes Louisville, Jacksonville, Lafayette Ville, Doggerville, Villeville..."
Cougar (reaching desperately for frisbee): "Don't you take Louisville for your song. Louisville is mine. That's where I got my frisbee! Give it baaaaaack!"
Lee (giving back frisbee to Mellencamp while he tussles his hair): "There you are kiddo. Now listen, we really need to inject some life into our new oh-eights this year. Sedan sales are the shits."
Seger: "Sedaaans... ooh la la... look who's hawkin' freakin' sedans now! I can't write a song for a sedan company! Trucks. Trucks! TRUCKS! Trucks and 8-tracks, what else do you need?"
JayCeeeM: "Yeah, my kin won't go anywhere unless we're in a truck! Ask 'em. Teddy Jo, Justice, Hud, Speck, the twins Choate and Scrote, and Queenie Beth Skoal Bandit travel in style, in the back on the flatbed on air mattresses."
Lee: "Cool down you two. We're planning on spreading the offer to 50 of our GM models. Trucks included."
Mellancoog: "Do you know what C-H-E-V-R-O-L-E-T stands for? 'Cheap, Hardly Efficient, Virtually Runs On Luck Every Time'!!! Hahaaaaaaa!"
Secretary (taking dictation and smiling): "Oh you..."
Mellencamp: "You like that one? I got a million of 'em. All the people on my tourbus think I'm the funniest person they ever met. Fer sure."
Cook (trying to make his voice heard): "Uh."
Lee: "Boys! Boys! Any thoughts?"
Seger: "Well, let me noodle a bit. Mi, mi, mi... myyy. Myyyyy A-merica..."
JCM (playing the exact same chord sequence as Segar): "Myyyyy A-merica..."
Seger: "Hey man!!! He's stealin' my tune!"
Cougar Mellencamp: "America... is Like a Rock..."
Seger: "Oh no, you did not!"
Cook: "And..."
Lee (interupting Cook): "Jesus H. Crispies! Will you two knock it off!"
Mellen to the Camp: "...stumbling out the door / Like a Rock / falling on the floor..."
Lee: "Alright Johnny…time for bed little one."
Johnny Cougar: "Fuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkk yooooooooooouuuuuuuuu…I'm a big boy now! Maaan! I don't want to go to bed! Tits, no, I won't go!"
Lee: (consoling Mellencamp and nodding to Seger to follow him into their hidey house behind the wall): "I know, I know... you're a big boy now."
JCM: "Tits! Titstitstits!!! Hahahahaha... tiiiiittttttsssssssszzz."
Lee (handing a slumbering 'Camp into Seger's arms and whispering): "Bob? Anything?"
Seger: "Nah. Leave it with me for a bit, and I'll come up with something for yas."
[Door slams shut and wanders back to his desk, sighing deeply.]
Cook: "Jesus, how the hell do you put up with that? Why do you even keep them around?"
Lee: "Ugh, they had some kind of crazy contract clause and we had to give in. Plus, Beavis and Butthead in there have made our company a ton of cash."
Suckup: "Beavis and Butthead! Hahaha... you've still got it Boss!"
Lee: "Uh, yeah. Anyway, as a I was saying, we really need something that says we're hip to the scene (aside to secretary... 'Did I say that right'?) and we have some history with XM when we introduced satellite in our Sevilles and Devilles a couple of years back. It's not like we're not going to do something original or use an idea that isn't stolen, even if it is from ourselves. Am I right or am I right?"
Suckup: "Right as rain, Big Guy!"
Cook: Well then, I think we're done here. Are we going to go with a free three-month trial period on all factory-installed models with XM?
Lee: "You know it!"
[Later, at a joint press conference.]
Lee: "This announcement continues to demonstrate General Motors' commitment to providing XM Satellite Radio services to our new vehicle buyers. This, coupled with our August announcement to lower the option price of factory-installed XM to $199, supports our effort to offer XM Satellite Radio to more customers (suckers...)."
Cook: "General Motors has been instrumental in growing our business by introducing millions of car buyers across the nation to the extraordinary content of XM Radio. XM has been focused on the new car market since inception and GM has led the way for the industry. It is exciting to see GM driving the installation of XM into significantly more cars and trucks as a means to differentiate and enhance the appeal of their vehicles (suckers...)."
Björk to Release New LP in Spring with Sweet Guests
By Mr P on Jan 22 2007
Earlier today, we featured a contest called "What Would Björk say?" The comic above was filled out exactly the same as above, except the last frame had an empty quote box. We got hundreds of responses, most of them having to do with peeing or pooping. Surprisingly, there were a bunch that dealt with pizza and, unsurprisingly, lots of variations on "suck my dick" and "lick my balls." Lars von Trier was mentioned several times, of course.
Although some of the randomness (like Josia Hughes' "Okee, I tell you eh-we-ting: he look-a like a man!" and Nicky F's "Welcome to Mooseport, starring Ray Ramano"), crudeness (Paul Banks' "Fuckin' sausage fest up in herr"), and cleverness (Derek's "No time for the ole' in & out love, I just came to read the meter" and Jacob Harrison Jeffries' "Why haven't any of us moved in the past 4 frames?") are equally funny, I thought the O'Rourke comment was most appropriate for the comic and for TMT. Thus, Dan is the winner. Good work Dan, you're reader of the month. LUCKY YOU!
Just like Sho Kosugi in Nine Deaths of the Ninja, Bill Callahan… He Change Color!… Like the Chameleon!
By David Nadelle on Jan 21 2007
Heelys, paintball, "Dance Dance Revolution," thongs, Texas Hold'Em, "Takeshi's Castle," su|do|ku, fat laces, "Do the Bartman" ("shake your body turn it out if you're bad man"... wha?), all-conquering SUVs, freedom fries, Atkins, pocket bikes, Beanie Babies, knitting, American Idol, "Crazy Frog," pogs, Vanilla Coke, Crystal Pepsi, frosted tips, Yu-gi-oh!, The Da Vinci Code, sprawling lower-back tattoos, Von Dutch, reggaeton, "wassssssssuuuuuuuuuup!," fanny packs, Furby, emo asses (and their asinine signature haircuts), Napoleon Dynamite, text slang, Red Bull, "All your base are belong to us," the Reebok Pump, "The Macarena," flash mobs, '80s retro nonsense, "Kidz Bop," self-important reality show restaurateurs/realtors/rrrwhatevers, Napster, crocs, Snakes on a Plane, PBR, the cha-cha slide, "the Rachel," mojitos, bling-bling, Big Mouth Billy Bass, gangsta, Girl Power, pocket swearing machines, fruit boots (a.k.a. roller blades), Segways, Koosh balls, ad infinitum.
For the better part of the past two decades, Bill Callahan should really have been as welcome in this fad-driven, catchphrase-rotten "modern world" as a drum kit would have been in Anne Frank's Amsterdam Achterhuis. Thankfully, there has always been room for artists to cast suspicious, wry eyes toward our sick, disposable society. No more so than now. Ace songwriter and psychiatrist's wet dream Bill "The Thrill" Callahan will be releasing a new single called "Diamond Dancer" (b/w "Taken") on March 20 and a new album entitled Woke On a Whaleheart on April 17. The album, Callahan's 73rd (maybe), features contributions from Neil Michael Hagerty, Pete Denton, Elizabeth Warren, and Deani Pugh-Flemmings of the Olivet Baptist Church and will be released by long-standing label Drag City. However, this time 'round he has ditched the staid, vanilla Smog imprint. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for the high-octane, high-voltage, high-priest of song..."Bill Callahan"? It has taken years, but Callahan has emerged out of his well-protected shell and finally opted to record under his given name. This, along with playing recent shows billed simply as "Bill Callahan," means the Smog moniker has effectively been put to rest, at least for the time being. Oh well, life is too short to wax nostalgic on the triviality of recording and touring names. And who really cares... he could go by "Bigg Mouth Billy Bawlz 2 tha Cha-Cha Cally" and we would probably still buy his albums. Sorry, we would definitely buy his albums!
Depress to impress:
TSA Announces: Explosions In The Sky Allowed In 3 oz Containers or Smaller
By RRRachel on Jan 21 2007
Air Travelers around the world breathed a sigh of relief when the TSA adjusted its ban on Explosions In The Sky. Air travelers may now carry Explosions In The Sky in their carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints. With certain exceptions for prescription and over-the-counter Explosions In The Sky, baby formula and breast Explosions In The Sky, and other essential Explosions In The Sky, the following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols you want to carry through a security checkpoint.
1. All Explosions In The Sky must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller.2. All Explosions In The Sky must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon-sized bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.3. As it has not yet been safely tested by the TSA, FDA, or RIAA, the 2007 output of Explosions In The Sky (an LP entitled All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone) is banned from air travel until further notice.4. Making jokes about Explosions In The Sky is an arrestable offense:
"New Tour Dates" Starring The Walkmen
By Heidi Vanderslice on Jan 21 2007
This year, The Walkmen saw Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions and raised him a Pussy Cats, a complete cover album originally recorded by John Lennon (during his "No Yoko" phase) and Harry Nilsson in 1974. I found out how bad I am at Texas Hold'Em last week, but I can still be trusted on this call. Some people say they should've come up with some higher quality o.g. material for their latest album, A Hundred Miles Off, but I say I've never heard a better album to drink in your favorite old man bar to than Pussy Cats. I am indeed a lady and not an old man, but like I said, trust me on this one.

My family tree, consists of drug dealers, thugs and killers
from 2Pac – Blasphemy Lyrics on Genius
As an intellectual, Tupac sought to paint a vivid picture of life in America's poor black communities. Tupac often compares and contrasts the lives of the have-nots with those in high society. Pedigree and lineage play a major role in the rich elites sense of self and definition. Using the image of a "family tree", something only wealthier/typical families use, Tupac shows a different type of family in society — one damaged and flawed by the harsh realities of the Ghetto environment.

not looking for perfect, but looking for perfect for me...
This worked for a friend of mine so I decided to try this out... But if I fall in love but end up on the show catfish, we're going to have more than a few words to exchange! lol I am a recent veteran that served in Operation Enduring Freedom and the Global War on Terrorism. I have a beautiful half Persian daughter whom is the meaning of my life! I strive to be a good father and role model for her future... I am looking for something potentially serious, with being a good role model to my daughter comes with idea of true love, and how sacred it is... I would never want her to think a man can go from woman to woman because that's how Daddy is... I love to travel! While in the Navy, I was privileged with traveling thought Asia, Middle East, and South America... I enjoy exploring, watching movies, socializing over drinks, and I recently paint balled for the first time and had so much fun! I like to Dance but I'm kinda shy when it comes to it so maybe you can drag it out of me? I like to think my parents raised me right, a traditional man in a modern generation... Good manners is something I'm passionate about and have been made fun of it on numerous occasions! lol But also what comes with that means, that a man must be Gentleman always! So don't think chivalry is completely dead... haha But I am a man that strongly believes in acting properly towards the situation. I value the friends that I have, I treat my friends as if they were family. I have a strong work ethic, I am constantly trying to perfect and master everything. I enjoy a good party, it can be have a good BBQ with friends, to popping bottles in Vegas, I've been told I know how to have fun... But I think life requires a good balance to everything... I am a very affectionate person, I love to cuddle, hug, and kiss ;) My friends all tell me I need to stop finding girls, because I need a WOMAN! Lol I am looking for a woman who can hold a intelligent conversation, one that is career motivated, and knows how to have fun! Sense of fashion and interest in a attractive lifestyle is a plus! and must love kids, either have one that likes other kids, or plan to have kids with with the right person... I believe in true love, and everything that comes with TRUE LOVE, honesty, respect, adaptation, etc... I've used the word love a lot in my youth, because I didn't know what love really felt like, but I can honestly say in my almost 30 years of being on this planet, I've only been in love twice, and would love to find the person that I could love and be with forever...
I don't believe in astrology
I have Other
Middle of the Road
Ruby Skye, Infusion Lounge, Studio 8, MUA, 24hr fitness, D&B

The Last Girlsby Lee Smith
The river . . . it all started with the river. How amazing that they ever did it, twelve girls, ever went down this river on that raft, how amazing that they ever thought of it in the first place.
Well, they were young. Young enough to think why not when Baby said it, and then to do it: just like that. Just like Huck Finn and Jim in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which they were reading in Mr. Gaines's Great Authors class at Mary Scott, sophomore year.
Tom Gaines was the closest thing to a hippie on the faculty at Mary Scott, the closest thing to a hippie that most of them had ever seen in 1965, since the sixties had not yet come to girls' schools in Virginia. So far, the sixties had only happened in Time magazine and on television. Life at the fairy-tale Blue Ridge campus was proceeding much as it had for decades past, with only an occasional emissary from the changing world beyond, such as somebody's longhaired folk-singing cousin from up north incongruously flailing his twelve-string guitar on the steps of the white-columned administration building. And Professor Tom Gaines, who wore jeans and work boots to class (along with the required tie and tweed sports jacket), bushy beard hiding half his face, curly reddish-brown hair falling down past his collar. Harriet was sure he'd been hired by mistake. But here he was anyway, big as life and right here on their own ancient campus among the pink brick buildings and giant oaks and long green lawns and little stone benches and urns. Girls stood in line to sign up for his classes. He is so cute, ran the consensus.
But it was more than that, Harriet realized later. Mr. Gaines was passionate. He wept in class, reading "The Dead" aloud. He clenched his fist in fury over Invisible Man, he practically acted out Absalom, Absalom, trying to make them understand it.
Unfortunately for all the students, Mr. Gaines was already married to a dark, frizzy-haired Jewish beauty who wore long tie-dyed skirts and no bra. They carried their little hippie baby, Maeve, with them everywhere in something like a knapsack except when Harriet, widely known as the most responsible English major, came to baby-sit. Now people take babies everywhere, but nobody did it then. You were supposed to stay home with your baby, but Sheila Gaines did not. She had even been seen breast-feeding Maeve publicly in Dana Auditorium, watching her husband act in a Chekov drama. He played Uncle Vanya and wore a waistcoat. They had powdered his hair and put him in little gold spectacles but nothing could obscure the fact that he was really young and actually gorgeous, a young hippie professor playing an old Russian man. Due to the extreme shortage of men at Mary Scott, Mr. Gaines was in all the plays. He was Hamlet and Stanley Kowalski. His wife breast-fed Maeve until she could talk, to everyone's revulsion. But Mr. Gaines's dramatic streak was what made his classes so wonderful. For Huck Finn, he adopted a sort of Mark Twain persona as he read aloud from the book, striding around the old high-ceilinged room with his thumbs hooked under imaginary galluses. Even this jovial approach failed to charm Harriet, who had read the famous novel once before, in childhood, but now found it disturbing not only in the questions it raised about race but also in Huck's loneliness, which Harriet had overlooked the first time through, caught up as she was in the adventure. In Mr. Gaines's class, Harriet got goosebumps all over when he read aloud:
Then I set down in a chair by the window and tried to think of something cheerful, but it warn't no use. I felt so lonesome I most wished I was dead. The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippoorwill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die, and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn't make out what it was and so it made the cold shivers run over me. Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of sound that a ghost makes . . .
This passage could have been describing Harriet; it could have been describing her life right then. Mr. Gaines was saying something about Huck's "estrangement" as "existential," as "presaging the modern novel," but Harriet felt it as personal, deep in her bones. She believed it was what country people meant when they said they felt somebody walking across their grave. For even in the midst of college, here at Mary Scott where she was happier than she would ever be again, Harriet Holding continued to have these moments she'd had ever since she could remember, as a girl and as a young woman, ever since she was a child. Suddenly a stillness would come over everything, a hush, then a dimming of the light, followed by a burst of radiance during which she could see everything truly, everything, each leaf on a tree in all its distinctness and brief beauty, each hair on the top of somebody's hand, each crumb on a tablecloth, each black and inevitable marching word on a page. During these moments Harriet was aware of herself and her beating heart and the perilous world with a kind of rapture that could not be borne, really, leaving her finally with a little headache right between the eyes and a craving for chocolate and a sense of relief. She was still prone to such intensity. There was no predicting it either. You couldn't tell when these times might occur or when they would go away. Her mother used to call it "getting all wrought up." "Harriet," she often said, "you're just getting all wrought up. Calm down, honey."
But Harriet couldn't help it.
Another day Mr. Gaines read from the section where Huck and Jim are living on the river:
Sometimes we'd have that whole river to ourselves for the longest time. Yonder was the banks and the islands, across the water, and maybe a spark-which was a candle in a cabin window . . . and maybe you could hear a fiddle or a song coming over from one of them crafts. It's lovely to live on a raft.
His words had rung out singly, like bells, in the old classroom. Harriet could hear each one in her head. It was a cold pale day in February. Out the window, bare trees stood blackly amid the gray tatters of snow.
Then Baby had said, "I'd love to do that. Go down the Mississippi River on a raft, I mean." It was a typical response from Baby, who personalized everything, who was famous for saying, "Well, I'd never do that!" at the end of The Awakening when Edna Pontellier walks into the ocean. Baby was not capable of abstract thought. She had too much imagination. Everything was real for her, close up and personal. "We could do it, you know," Suzanne St. John spoke up. "My uncle owns a plantation right on the river, my mother was raised there. She'd know who to talk to. I'll bet we could do it if we wanted to." Next to Courtney, Suzanne St. John was the most organized girl in school, an angular forthright girl with a businesslike grown-up hairdo who ran a mail-order stationery business out of her dorm room.
"Girls, girls," Mr. Gaines had said disapprovingly. He wanted to get back to the book, he wanted to be the star. But the girls were all looking at each other. Baby's eyes were shining. "YES!" she wrote on a piece of paper, handing it to Harriet, who passed it along to Suzanne. Yes. This was Baby's response to everything.
