I hate the trash said about Marshall and Wilson. Our fan base sounds so stupid when we bad mouth them. Just ask any otothe B1G school if they wish they had either one.

No joke. These are the same pepole that were down on Wilson last week. Marshall actually had a good game with a couple of bad mistakes. Marshall is a beast.

They have more experience, we have more tallent. Aside from having a "better" loss I am not convinced they are better on paper.

Is it possible that the game poster for the PSU game ties into the Black Uni theory floating around? A black uni pic was leaked, we are told that they will not be used this week against PSU, the game poster for the PSU game has a blackblack uni and makes reference to Mich being our real rival. we also have history with alt unis for the Mich game. Something or nothing?

Why do you think he is chasing Tressel?
07 Sep 2014
I could be in the minority but the loss last night felt completely different than the loss to MSU and Clemson. The losses las season felt like outside the online, Miller and Hyde the tallent was lacking. Last night there seemed to be plenty of tallent that was not clicking. I think the team is moving in the right direction just not as fast as most of us expected

Not trying to bag on herbie, I like him as an announcer, but am I the only one who gets weirded out with the fact that herbies skin color matches his hair color so closely?

After the 2013 defensive nightmare I have to admit I was a bit envious of MSU's d with Narduzi until I read an article on 11W that reminded us that only a few years ago MSU's d with Narduzi was a clown show. I am convinced that OSU will return to their silver bullet form in short order. So I am happy coaches are getting paid in East Lansing, I think that it is highly likely that in a season or two Ash will collect his payday.

One thing that I think would be cool is a stitched buckeye leaf on the jersey for each win the player has been a part of during their tenure. Seniors would have more than freshmen, you get the idea. I think is would be a real honor to players that stay all four years. I could be wrong but I think it would be unique to Ohio State, which in a sense would be a tradition because I think they were the first to have stickers for their helmets right?
14 Jan 2014
Dude you are one informed fan. Your post reads like an article at 11w. If they are hiring you should fill out an application.

Bravo sir bravo. This works on so many levels there is the Nick Marshall level then there is the Cam Newton level.

Miller may never be an NFL QB but lets not sell him short either. Yes I know that his stats the last 4 games were flat but he has gotten better every year and I expect he will continue to improve.
04 Jan 2014
The last two games have shown us that we are still in the process of rebuilding. I am sure this team will continue to improve as issues are addressed. We need to be patient and let one of the most successful coaches of the modern era do what he does best.
03 Jan 2014
All jokes aside about our DBs footspeed why the eff do we line the DBs up 10 yards off the line of scrimmage? It's not like they are breaking on short passes for big plays

JV defense baby!
01 Jan 2014
I could be wrong but I just can't see MSU going toe to toe with the bucks year in and year out. Their facilities are not as good, recruiting is not as good, and for the exception of the d coordinator position coaching staff isn't as good. Every couple of years they will get frisky and challenge for a big ten title. I like Dino as much as the next guy but this is the same team that didn't win a home big ten game last year.
01 Jan 2014
1 reply
I totally agree. If we hire a d coordinator in the near future they will be set up for success. The talent is there and more is on the way. I know MSU is in love with their program right now and their coaches are underpaid at the moment but I would get nervous about handing out big pay days after one really good year. Does anybody think MSU can sustain this success consistently over the long haul?

Wilson's season ended flat because he was kicked out of "The" game and was probably not utilized as much in the conference championship because he was in the dog house with Hall. I also think that he impacted games more than his stats would indicate because defenses had to key in on him when he was in the game. No other player on the offense could provide the dimension that Wilson did.

Cloud Pictures
My younger daughter and I had to run to town yesterday afternoon because Kitten Kitten had started acting funny and our beloved vet Dr. Jan, whose off-hours number is programmed into my cell phone and whose off-hours number I try really, really hard not to abuse unless I really, really need it, told us to bring him in the second I called.
"I'm just ironing shirts," she said. "I could use a little break!"
Let us now give a quick moment of thanks for veterinarians that are committed to caring for the animals we love no matter what day of the week it is.
Turned out, Kitten Kitten had developed a temperature of 103, so Dr. Jan immediately started him on antibiotics and said she wanted to keep him at least overnight so she could do some blood work this morning.
Poor Kitten Kitten!
He did not like the car trip to town. Kitten Kitten is not a car cat at all.
And he did not like the whole temperature-taking ordeal.
(Who would, really?)
But it sounds like he's going to be okay.
When we turned off the highway onto our road, my girl and I stopped to take a photo of the sky. Then, for the next 5 miles, we played Cloud Pictures.
Here are the things we saw:
An abominable snowman.
A mother cooing at her baby in a baby carriage.
The face of a sheepdog.
That last one was sort of a given.
The Michelin Man.
A puppy with a ball.
A pig.
Someone bowling.
Spiro Agnew.
Happy Monday, everyone!
I hope you have an abundance of cumulus clouds in your area today. Cloud pictures are a wonderful way to start a week.

Looking for different formations in the clouds is one of my favorite childhood memories…and I still do it, even when I'm by myself.
So glad Kitten Kitten is going to be ok.
Terri On Monday, July 9 at 8:35 am
I love to view cloud pictures too! Reminds me of my youth, when I had no responsibilities! Beautiful!!!
PenPen On Monday, July 9 at 8:35 am
I'm glad Kitten Kitten is on the mend. And I pray for more clouds. A steady 24 hr rain would help lots. As kids we would do the cloud picture thing. Laying in the grass on your back and just watching the sky–great memories and what you can see–Awesome things!
Good Morning Ree!
Allyn On Monday, July 9 at 8:35 am
Poor Kitten Kitten!
We live in TN, and I'm sure OK is the same in the respect that clouds tend to move through very quickly. My northwestern husband is still amazed by the huge changes in the sky that can occur here in such a short amount of time.
Nicki On Monday, July 9 at 8:36 am
Poor Kitten Kitten! I hope he'll be all right!
I spot a poodle family in the clouds…
Judy On Monday, July 9 at 8:38 am
Let us know how kitten kitten gets along and when he gets home. Beautiful cloud photos and love the blue sky!
CC On Monday, July 9 at 8:38 am
I see someone bowling and I see the Michelon man……lol
I hope kitten kitten is doing better!
ret On Monday, July 9 at 8:39 am
Hope Kitty Kitty will be alright, love cloud watching!
Donna H. On Monday, July 9 at 8:41 am
Thank God for those special "vets" who are willing to help on Sunday when our "fur-babies" are sick! I hope your little one gets better soon! Love the cloud pictures … I found almost all of them! Beautiful day in our neighborhood as well!!!
Robyne On Monday, July 9 at 2:43 pm
My sweet husband is one of those "special vets" who gets up in the middle of the night, or leaves church early on Sunday to take care of someone's pet or livestock…. sometimes it can be wearisome, but he loves what he does and it's nice to know that those in his profession are recognized and appreciated for all they do when they give up their personal time.
Shelley On Monday, July 9 at 7:43 pm
I am married to one of those "special vets" also. It is one of the best professions anyone could ever be involved in. We are in a ranching area, so his special love is for the cattle…or maybe the horses…or the ranch dogs and cats! It's hard to choose a favorite, but I know he enjoys it! Thanks for noticing that they have to go out of their way and give up leisure time to get the job done sometimes!
Cheryl Barker On Monday, July 9 at 8:44 am
I love the sky, clouds or no clouds. So vast and beautiful — as is your land, Ree. Love the pics you share with us. Hope Kitten Kitten is feeling better soon!
BusyMomofTwins On Monday, July 9 at 8:45 am
Beautiful pictures! Nothing like cloud pictures to spark the imagination. I have always been fascinated to do this with friends/family because everyone sees so many different things.
Janice in Tennessee On Monday, July 9 at 8:45 am
Hope Kitten Kitten is doing better. I enjoy your post about your ranch and animals since I grew up on a large farm.
Jill of All Trades On Monday, July 9 at 8:54 am
I'm glad Kitten Kitten is going to be okay. Fun snapshots of a beautiful sky. It was a beautiful day for sure.
Pat Upton On Monday, July 9 at 8:57 am
Your DAUGHTER saw Spiro Agnew? Who knew!
Texan and grandma On Monday, July 9 at 9:54 am
Who knew indeed! I am impressed enough by Ree knowing about Spiro Agnew because that was a while ago. I am even more impressed by younger daughter knowing.
Entertaining Women On Monday, July 9 at 9:01 am
Spiro Agnew….definitely Spiro Agnew. It's good to start the day with a giggle. I take cloud pictures all the time. Glad that Kitty Kitty will be better soon. Cherry Kay
quinn On Monday, July 9 at 9:03 am
Good thoughts for the kitty!
Vet's coming here at 4 to separate two cashmere bucks from their reproductive capabilities…not my favorite day, and probably not theirs, either. Oh well, at least they don't have to go anywhere in the car.

prayers up for kitten kitten.
about a year ago i decided i wanted to be a cloud photographer. just don't know how i can make a living doing something so easy and fun. would be a great job. i don't need too terribly much to survive on. cloud photography would be a fun living!
Ann Sulin On Monday, July 9 at 9:23 am
Our Otis did not handle the upper 90's too well over the weekend–couldn't figure out why he needed to be in an air conditioned room. Thankfully we're back to the lower 80's and he's back to a "normal" cat.
Theresa in Alberta On Monday, July 9 at 9:31 am
MMMmmmm marshmellowssss.
About 15 years ago we had a new back door installed. A very lovely screen door all shiney and new with a screen. Um the screen door shut a little fast, the screen door appears to have sharp edges. The screen door closed faster than my 90lb Irish R&W setter had time to clear the closing screen door and it amputated 1/2 inch of tail off. Dogs have a lot of blood in their tail, honest. After husband caught dog running around in pain and bleeding, he who has his first aid certificate, bound the wound with one hand and dialed the phone to our vet with the other. Vet had just finished supper and yes he will meet us at the office 3 blocks away ASAP. Husband, injured dog and 2 young children arrived at vets office, me the mother was out that night and missed the excitement. Mean while the vet assistant had stopped by the office to pick up cat food for her kitty on her way to fancy party with dancing and her date was waiting in the car. So the vet assistant hearing my poor dog crying immediatly went to work preparing the dog for the vet while wearing her lovely going out to fancy party dress and high heels.
The vet arrived, bandaged and stitched my dogs tail. The vet assistant was very very late getting to the party as she had to go home and change, the dress was a write off and she would not take any compensation for it. Needless to say, I LUV my vet and his caring staff!!!!!!
Linda W. On Monday, July 9 at 9:32 am
Ooooo!!! One of my cats has to go to the vet this afternoon. He has been sneezing a LOT. As of yesterday one eye is watering and red, and he didn't eat his breakfast this morning. I hate it when the vet says, "sounds like we need to see him". My heart sinks and I worry. He is a picky eater so if we have to give meds it will be a challenge.
I am sure Kitten Kitten will be fine, just like my guy! Hang in there!
Tammy G On Monday, July 9 at 9:35 am
I love taking pictures of the clouds, too! You should do a photo contest of clouds! Also, hoping Kitten Kitten is feeling better soon
Alan @ it's not work, it's gardening! On Monday, July 9 at 9:37 am
Clouds are one of my favorite photo subjects! I could watch them for hours… if I had that kind of time.
That's not the Michelin Man — I see The Thing and Gamera, or is it a fat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
kathy55 On Monday, July 9 at 9:37 am
Oh, keep us posted on Kitten Kitten's progress!! Bless his little bitty heart! SO scary when the fur kids aren't well……wish mine could talk and tell me what's up when they are puny….and the cloud pics are wonderful!
ann On Monday, July 9 at 9:39 am
Seldom get great clouds in San Diego. Love vacations in Arizona where the clouds really rock.
Christie McGetrick On Monday, July 9 at 9:40 am
Hope your cat is okay and that the antibiotics work.
Anne Kimball On Monday, July 9 at 9:46 am
I love love LOVE playing cloud pictures with my six kids, b/c
a) you're never too old to play cloud pictures
b) GREAT way to be creative and imaginative
c) there is no bending or stooping or running involved (see "a", above)
Amy On Monday, July 9 at 9:46 am
Spiro Agnew…I see that guy everywhere.
Kathy On Monday, July 9 at 9:48 am
We need those clouds to darken up full of rain and move over central Illinois and dump all the rain. We are crispy critters here. Hope its better elsewhere.
Mtmanor On Tuesday, July 10 at 3:32 am
It's just as bad in Ohio. My hay guy called to ask me to find another source. 13 acres and 27 bales. We've had no rain, even with the wicked storm that roared through. After last year, and 30″ above normal, I'm hoping we don't even our average all in one year.
Joyce On Monday, July 9 at 9:49 am
A forecast of temperatures with no triple digits in it and a possibility of rain, is also a great way to start the week! Beautiful clouds!
Crystal @ Crystal's Cozy Kitchen On Monday, July 9 at 9:49 am
Growing up our family did the same! We would always find pictures in the cloud. Reading this made me remember a funny story… One day (while going through a VERY stressful time in her life) my mom was on the phone with her sister and while looking out the window said, "there's an elephant chasing a dog." (Of course it was in the clouds.) My aunt had honestly though my mom had lost it for a minute!
Terry in Divide On Monday, July 9 at 9:52 am
Love cloud pictures … what about this one? (disclaimer: taken by my son, not me)
Susan D On Monday, July 9 at 9:56 am
Love the cloud photos. Thank you!
JennieRC On Monday, July 9 at 9:57 am
Beautiful! I've been obsessed with clouds and the sky lately. I just see it as God's palette–a great masterpiece of art that changes all day every day for us to behold! Don't even need to go to the art museum!
Alyssa On Monday, July 9 at 10:01 am
I hope Kitten Kitten is okay! Great job noticing the signs right away and taking action!
CMarie On Monday, July 9 at 10:04 am
Beautiful cloud pictures! I saw all that stuff and more.
I pray Kitten Kitten is just fine. I love cats, and have had my share of them over the years. When they're not well it's so worrisome. We love 'um.
Thanks for the pictures of a very beautiful sky.
Lisa On Monday, July 9 at 10:08 am
Wow! Good eye! I used to play that game with my mom.
Steph H. On Monday, July 9 at 10:09 am
As an owner of two cats, they are always doing something, LOL! I hope Kitten Kitten is feeling better soon.
And…I think you just found your next photo contest idea…CLOUDS!
Nicole On Monday, July 9 at 10:09 am
I'm glad to hear your kitty is going to be okay! Nothing worse than a fur baby that's sick because they can't tell you whats wrong.
As for cloud pictures, LOVE EM! I was just on vacation in Minnesota and took some amazing pics and got some great cloud pictures as well.
Charissa On Monday, July 9 at 10:15 am
Hope Kitten Kitten is all right. Thanks for the cloud pictures! Clouds are amazing…and so are imaginations.
Marie M.C. On Monday, July 9 at 10:25 am
Spiro Agnew. ??? Hate it when a baby or pet is sick. Can't explain it to them. Well, you can — but it's unlikely they'll understand.
Claudia T. On Monday, July 9 at 10:30 am
Awwww!!! Hope your cute little Kitten Kitten will be okay. Not too crazy about cats in general but yours are sooooo sweet and hate to see any of Gods critters sick. Take care.
Rachael P On Monday, July 9 at 10:31 am
I have two dogs, one of whom is completely blind and the other one has vision in just one eye. Having said that, we'd be lost without our vet. I'm glad to hear Kitten Kitten is on the mend. It's so worrisome when there's something wrong with our critters.
Love the clouds but… Spiro Agnew? Really?
sue anderson On Monday, July 9 at 10:31 am
So glad that KittenKitten will be okay!!!
Krista On Monday, July 9 at 10:53 am
Every time I see a beautiful picture of all your land my heart skips.
This time of year in Florida we have billowy clouds too. Love it! ~Krista
Pam S On Monday, July 9 at 10:57 am
My daughter is an ER vet, what an exciting life!!! Love listening to her stories. And I LOVE taking pics of my guys farming/harvesting with pretty fluffy clouds in the sky like that, just makes my pics GREAT.
Holly On Monday, July 9 at 10:57 am
I hope Kitten Kitten gets well soon! Yeah, our Kitty is not a car cat either. So when we moved two years ago, we tried to put her in a box to transport her. She didn't like that either! My husband hasn't forgotten that experience.
Lynn J On Monday, July 9 at 11:03 am
Beautiful sky pictures isn't it fun to find the different characters. Love it!
So happy to hear kitten kitten will be fine the little stinkers are notorious for getting into things.
Melody C. On Monday, July 9 at 11:08 am
Thank you for your posts. I love reading about your life on the ranch. I live it vicariously in my little house in the suburbs.
I'd love to see some storm clouds here in Middle Tennessee. We are in desperate need of a good soaking – more than one, actually.
Pam D On Monday, July 9 at 11:13 am
More than half of the cell phone photos in my library are of clouds. I have become obsessed. I think the clouds are prettier now than they've ever been. Or maybe it's just that I notice them more.
Casey On Monday, July 9 at 11:17 am
I am a fanatic of stopping and checking out clouds. My kids have begun to continue that tendency. Love it!
Kathy On Monday, July 9 at 11:23 am
Love cloud pictures!! Have taken some myself. Hope kitten kitten is getting better. Know what you mean when you said kitten kitten did not like the car ride. Keep the pictures coming
Carmen D On Monday, July 9 at 11:27 am
Those after hour vets are fantastic. Our vet is also ready at a last minute notice and I think she (Dr. Theresa Coble) is the best for us. I had to laugh at the temperature ordeal, my Chance (a Blackmouth Cur) thinks every time we are at the vets they are after his rear. He gets a surprise when it's only something like his yearly Lymes Disease shot. Thanks for sharing all those wonderful cloud pictures.
Anna Hettick On Monday, July 9 at 11:27 am
I love love love to take cloud pictures!!! Very nice!! =)
constance On Monday, July 9 at 11:31 am
We once had a dog named Spiro …. after THE Spiro. Just one though — not Spiro Spiro. We also had a couple of female barn cats that we …. well, okay I …. named Rodham and Reno after the then first lady and whatever Janet was. I rarely name animals after politicians that I actually admire. Mostly because I cannot think of many admirable politicians at the crucial naming time …. or ever, actually. I confess to once naming a ranch horse that I claimed as my own merely to discourage my siblings and cousins from wanting to ride him. That was Killer. As it turned out he was so pokey when he grew up that no one wanted to ride him anyway .. including me. Animal naming is tricky business.
Linda/patchwork On Monday, July 9 at 11:36 am
I'm impressed that your girl…or, you for that matter…know what Sprio Agnew looked like.
Cloud pictures are always fun. It's interesting what each person's mind makes out of those piles of fluff.
Glad Kitten Kitten will be ok.
suzanne On Monday, July 9 at 11:40 am
love you ree! did you know there is a whole website dedicated to clouds? it is called the cloud appreciation society! check it out!
Susan Cooper On Monday, July 9 at 11:52 am
I love the pictures. They bring back great memories of when I was younger. Thank you for that.
Our Small Hours On Monday, July 9 at 12:01 pm
Spiro Agnew. Heh.
I hope Kitty Kitty feels better soon.
Tricia in Washington On Monday, July 9 at 12:15 pm
I like to lay in the grass and watch the clouds, so relaxing.
I hope Kitty Kitty is OK
Cyndi On Monday, July 9 at 12:19 pm
Thank goodness you went ahead and called the vet…cats, in my experience, can get very sick very fast! What a wonderful vet to drop everything and be there for you! In my area, we have a veterinary ER, so if it is after hours, we go there instead of calling the regular vet.
Our big gray cat who died on Valentine's Day was my daughter's very heart and soul. She loved that cat like nothing else and it was like a part of her died with him. Something that has been healing for her is to look for "Gus's cloud" in the sky and imagine that he is on his cloud in heaven, looking down on her.
Grammanita On Monday, July 9 at 12:22 pm
If you're at all like me, the photographic cloud captures and "I.D-ing" helped bring you down from the panic attack of having a sick fur baby that needs to see the vet on an unplanned visit. The photos are beautiful and, with the sort of vet he has, I'm positive Kitten Kitten is going to be just fine. Many blessings
Melissa On Monday, July 9 at 12:30 pm
We don't really have cumulus clouds today, but we do have RAIN!!!!! Oh does our parched Colorado land need rain! So happy!
Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Kitten-Kitten! And yes, that temperature-taking thing is for the birds. Or another less-pleasant creature.
Grammanita On Monday, July 9 at 12:35 pm
In the first picture, right in the center, is the little ghost doggie from "Nightmare Before Christmas".
Jo Moseley On Monday, July 9 at 12:36 pm
Speaking of kind Vets, my cats have a heavenly Vet. He came to my apartment 2 years ago, to put sweet Lizzie to sleep. (I could never be in a public place for that!) Doc Larsen gave me an injection to sedate her and I spent 30 minutes talking and singing to her as she lay on my chest. I left the room while he gave her an injection that would forever end her pain. I wrapped her in a baby quilt and he took her. She was cremated and scattered on his farm.
Tomorrow, he will come again. My Flora can't keep any food down. There is nothing more to do for her. I hate that she is in pain. Say a prayer for us, okay?
BUT…TODAY…I received an envelope FULL OF BIRTHDAY LOVE! From YOU, the wonderful readers of The Pioneer Woman! I opened it and took a peek, but decided that I will wait until my birthday to open them. That will be Friday the 13th! : )
Thank You…Thank You…Thank You! I will do a blog post about my cards and the Magic that happened here on P-Dub's blog: http://jomoseleysblog.blogspot.com/
Love, Jo aka Sad In Southern Minnesota
Misha On Monday, July 9 at 12:50 pm
I am so very sorry to hear of your dear Flora. She was blessed to have you to love her and also know when it is best to put her to rest. Will be thinking about you.
Mary On Monday, July 9 at 2:50 pm
So glad you posted on here to tell us about receiving your cards sent to you via Ree. Sending cyber hugs and prayers your way as you have to deal with the loss of another precious fur baby.
Shelly On Monday, July 9 at 9:51 pm
So sorry to read about Flora. Will keep you in my prayers. My 17 year old kitty is having some issues and I don't know if I can be as strong as you are. You are blessed to have such an awesome vet.
Texan and grandma On Tuesday, July 10 at 8:29 am
I had the same situation with a dog as you are having with Flora. It took a kind-hearted vet to convince my daughter that letting her go was best. I will think of you on Friday the 13th and hope you enjoy that day.
Steph H. On Tuesday, July 10 at 8:34 am
Jo, I am so sorry to hear about Flora. Our pets are our children and we love them dearly. I hope the birthday cards and birthday wishes help you get through this difficult time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Dianne @ My Southern Heart On Monday, July 9 at 12:37 pm
Remember the days of childhood when there was nothing more important to do than lie in soft green grass and look up at clouds?! I actually do remember that far back. Now, I can't remember what meals I had planned for this week, but clouds? I remember those…
Kris On Monday, July 9 at 12:43 pm
Kitten Kitten will have stories to tell when he gets home! Keep us posted with a picture, please!
You two are mighty imaginative! Those are the memories that stick!!

I love the formations clouds become. I take pictures of them all the time. Maybe a cloud contest could be a future contest!
Good Monday to you!
Iris Tate On Monday, July 9 at 12:56 pm
I have read that from an artist's viewpoint, the loveliest clouds in the world are in northern New Mexico, northern Oklahoma, and the south of France. I have see them all, and I agree.
Rhonda in Oklahoma On Monday, July 9 at 12:58 pm
I love clouds! Always have, since I was a kid. That's a cool picture. Hope the clouds also give us some rain today.
Karen On Monday, July 9 at 1:03 pm
Kitten Kitten may have gotten overheated. Watch him carefully. My vet (love that man!) says that once a cat overheats they will be prone to overheating for the rest of their lives. If you don't catch it, they can die, just as humans die of heat stroke.
marjorie On Monday, July 9 at 1:17 pm
I missed the arrival of "Kitten Kitten". When and how did this come about????? Please give an update. Thanks.

No cloud pictures here today, but we're getting some much needed rain! Thank you, Lord!
Jamie On Monday, July 9 at 1:36 pm
What a blessing to have such a great vet!
I was sitting in our front yard with my two boys a few weeks ago and I layed back for a moment and realized it had been way too long since I had looked up at the clouds and tried to see things. I quickly showed the boys how to do it and we had the best time!
Lori On Monday, July 9 at 1:48 pm
Brings back memories, I had a Spiro Agnew watch in highschool : )
Eva On Monday, July 9 at 2:11 pm
I too lived in OK for two years of my life and being from NYC there was much this city girl appreciated, but nothing so much as the beautiful skies there. I was so touched by them that upon leaving a neighbor asked if there was anything I would miss about the state, and I quickly replied, "the breathtaking skies". Thanks for sharing your cloud pictures, it brought me right back to that wonder I would feel each time I looked up at them!
Sarah B. On Monday, July 9 at 2:20 pm
Cumulus is nice, but I'd like some nimbus and/or cumulonimbus right now! I'm pretty sure at this point I'd even take a funnel cloud, as long as it also brought rain.
Karen Kennedy On Monday, July 9 at 2:29 pm
I love taking cloud pics too. Actually, two years ago that was my theme for the 365 project – one sky pic a day for a year. It was great fun!
Mary Jane On Monday, July 9 at 2:33 pm
Poor kitten, kitten
Hope he's doing better………….
maybe you could ask her to give him a Xanax before the trip home!
Carole On Monday, July 9 at 2:38 pm
I still like playing cloud pictures and my children are grown. glad Kitten Kitten is on the mend. Don't you just enjoy those one on one connection times with your kids. That is what memories are made of.
Darlyne On Monday, July 9 at 3:13 pm
Car Cats? Contradiction!!! We tried moving 2 siamese cats in separate carriers in a VW bug from Norfolk, VA to Atlanta GA in the middle on a rain storm that followed all the way. They sang, cried, cursed all the way.
shari On Monday, July 9 at 3:26 pm
Oh, poor Kitten Kitten! Animals are so tough that it's extra scary when you can tell they are really sick. I do hope he will be just fine. I don't have any cats at this time, just a dog, and the last time we were at the vet's he wasn't exactly thrilled about 'the whole temperture taking thing' either. And I even said, "yeah, I wouldn't be happy about that either." Our male vet pretended not to hear me. : )
Debbie On Monday, July 9 at 3:57 pm
I really like cloud pictures… Your camera takes wonderful pictures…
Also, this morning we copied a couple of your recipes for my daughter to make. thanks.
Gail On Monday, July 9 at 3:59 pm
What? You didn't see the baby elephant? (lifting it's trunk in the air, on the left)
Get well wishes to the beloved Kitten Kitten!
Lisa M. On Monday, July 9 at 4:23 pm
Hi Ree. Hope your cat is better soon. My family just got a kitten in April. My husband found him in a field close to where he works. We guess it's mother was in the process of moving him and got spooked. Needless to say,he was left there all alone and was only a couple of weeks old. We went to the vet and got some kitten formula and a dropper and I nursed that kitten around the clock just like I did my own children. I love that little booger. My 7 year old named him Mr. Mittens. Crazy how close we can get to our animals. I would hurt someone over that cat. By the way he is the first one we've ever had in our house. After what he went through though, what the heck he deserves to stay inside.
Katy Myers On Monday, July 9 at 4:51 pm
What beautiful pictures! I hope Kitten Kitten is okay!
dan's wife On Monday, July 9 at 4:53 pm
I know.
Years ago, we called our Sainted Vet away from his family picnic, on a holiday, to see our own version of Kitten Kitten, who had been underneath something catastrophically heavy which fell on his wittle spindly leg.
Was broken, for sure. Probably have to be amputated.
Except when we got to the vet's office, and he brushed the picnic crumbs off his clothes, the wittle cat was just fine.
"Kittens are like that sometimes," said our amiable vet. A saintly man.
Get better, KK!
Gina On Monday, July 9 at 4:56 pm
I hope Kitten Kitten is okay..we have 9 of them..and they are our "children"..and we hate when they don't feel good..please keep us posted..and for the record I didn't know you had a cat..show us some photos sometime..I see that you have to cute bassets..and I must ask why does Charley get the lime light..they are so cute..I love the cloud pics..takes me back to my childhood when we were bored as youngsters so we would lay out on the lawn and watch the clouds go by and figured out what they looked like..thanks for the fun memory.;) have a wonderful week ahead…;)your program is truly my favorite one..I feel like I am right there enjoying..although it would be so nice to taste your yummy cooking..;)

I love looking for shapes in the clouds. I truly believe either you can or can not see things in the clouds. My Man can not see anything in clouds even when it is so obvious! lol
isabel On Monday, July 9 at 5:55 pm

Is that a new banner???
Bev On Monday, July 9 at 6:18 pm
Oh, how I adore cloud pictures!!! I got my first camera when I was a teenager and we lived on a farm. I took more pictures of clouds than I did of people. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories! This might sound crazy, but when I see certain clouds now, I think back to those days growing up in the country. Loved it!
Jo-Anne On Monday, July 9 at 6:23 pm
I love to look at clouds and see what shapes I can see such a fun and peaceful pasttime

A day trip to Perito Moreno Glacier is undoubtedly one of the most impressive excursions in Patagonia. At the beginning of the tour, we skirt Bay Redonda of Lake Argentino and have a chance to see Isla Solitaire. Traveling through the Patagonia valley, we may spot species such as guanacos, ostriches, foxes, and more. Afterwards we pass sites of interest like Cerro Comision, Los Elefantes, River Centinela, Cerro Frias, and many Patagonian farmhouses. Crossing the Mitre River, we enter the Parque Nacional de Los Glaciares.
After traveling twenty miles along the lakeshore through impressive forests of ñires, lengas, notros and cherry trees, we reach Curva de Los Suspiros and our first panoramic viewpoint of the Glacier Perito Moreno. Among the 356 glaciers within the park, the Perito Moreno is the most outstanding one, having a three mile long front and a height of over 180 feet above the level of the water.
As the glacier advances it crosses the Canal de los Tempanos (Channel of the Floes) and obstructs the drainage of the Rico arm, elevating the water level up to 60 feet above normal height. About every three years, the waters newly contained in the Rico arm can exert the necessary pressure to break through the ice wall and spill into the lake. The resulting roar of the cracking ice and cascading water is unbelievable!

Customer Accounts - Death or Incompetence of the Account Owner
In the unfortunate event of an account owner's death or development of a condition that renders he or she incompetent, several actions must be followed. Procedures vary, depending on whether the account in question was classified as individual, joint, partnership or custodial.
Individual Accounts
If an individual account owner dies or is declared incompetent, no activity should occur until an authorized person provides evidence that he or she has the legal authority to handle the assets in the account. Any open orders should be cancelled at this time. At this point, the registered rep should obtain the necessary legal documents and aid the executor in dissolving the account. A new account is typically set up and titled "The Estate of [Decedent's Full Name]".
If securities were registered in the name of the deceased person, they will be transferred to the decedent's estate. Before this transfer occurs, certain documents, such as the death certificate, copy of the will or court appointment, affidavit of domicile, and state inheritance tax waiver, will usually be required before the transfer is made. The specific documents necessary will depend upon state law. For estate tax purposes securities will generally be valued as of the date of death.
Some individual accounts are set up as "TOD" (transferable on death) to a specified beneficiary. With this type of titling, the account passes to the named beneficiary without going through probate.
Joint Accounts
There are several types of joint accounts, and required procedures vary according to the type of joint account in question.
- Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship: Upon death or incompetence of any or all of the account owners, the ownership passes to the survivor(s). Each account owner will have an equal and undivided interest in the assets in the account.
- Tenants in Common: Each account owner has a separate title with undivided interest in the assets in the account. Thus, when one account owner dies the decedent's proportional share of securities and cash in the account is distributed according to the instructions in the owner's will. All pending transactions and orders must be cancelled immediately.
- Tenants by Entirety: Upon death or incompetence of one of the spouses in a tenants by entirety joint account, the ownership passes directly to the surviving spouse.
Exam Tips and Tricks
You should know the differences between the various types of joint accounts. The distinctions are important when advising clients on how to title a joint account if they wish to open one. The most common form of joint title is JTWROS, although this type of joint account should not be used when issues of proportional ownership dictate the account type.
Partnership Accounts
If a partner dies or is declared incompetent, all pending transactions and orders must be cancelled and the account must be frozen. The executor of the decedent's estate will instruct the rep regarding how to dispose of the account.
Custodial Accounts
If the beneficiary of a custodial account dies, all securities and cash in the account are transferred to his or her estate. If the custodian dies, a new custodian must be named to manage the account.
Trust Accounts
Various types of trusts may set up a mutual fund or brokerage account. Living trusts are set up during the owner's lifetime, while testamentary trusts are established upon death. In either case, the account must receive a copy of the trust document and name both the trustee (who manages the account) and beneficiary (who receives benefits under the trust). Like the custodian in a custodial account, the trustee is a fiduciary who must adhere to prudent investor standards and avoid self-dealing. The death of a trustee has little impact on the account, since trusts typically name successor trustees for such an event.

Why Allen West Loves Communism
Republicans are dogged by a creepy nostalgia for Communism. Joe Stalin and Chairman Mao, we just can't quit you. Ronald Reagan built the modern Republican coalition around a single unifying logic, our shared loathing of the Soviets. What else so reliably brings together Northern commercial capitalists, rural Southerners, suburban whites, religious fundamentalists, and Florida Hispanics? [Read More]

The mayoralty of New York's Michael Bloomberg has been an uncommonly boring one, and primarily for that reason, it has been judged a smashing success. For those who felt exhausted by the constant battles between Rudy Giuliani and the city's liberal elites in the eight years prior to his election, Bloomberg brought a surprising measure of peace — some of which he purchased, by the way, through personal gift- and grant-giving, which had the effect of quieting attacks from leftie and arts institutions that liked nothing more than to get into a scuffle with City Hall and thereby earn plaudits and attention from the New York Times. Given the size of Bloomberg's personal fortune, the money he spent to buy himself social quiet was doubtless worth it. And for causing these intolerable loudmouths to shut themselves up and enjoy their financial goodies, Bloomberg deserves a pat on the back. And for keeping the city on the even keel on which Rudy had left it, he deserves credit as well. He didn't upset the apple cart.
That said, however, Bloomberg's mayoralty has been, at least to measure by his own ambitions, a horrific failure. This week brought the collapse of his grand design for a car-toll system in Manhattan. This followed the failure, two years and tens of millions of dollars in planning ago, to secure the Olympic games for New York City in 2012 — a loss that had every single person who lives in the city sighing with relief, as you could not find a single person here outside of the construction trade that did not dread the possibility of the city being turned inside out for three solid weeks so that a bunch of stoned volleyball players could vie for a medal on an invented East River beach in the very unpicturesque neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. And that followed the failure, two years before that, of his plan to build a stadium in the West 30s only a few years after Rudy had tried and failed at the same thing.
Bloomberg's signature accomplishments have been: an increase in the property tax, most of which he then returned to city folk in the form of a tax rebate; and a draconian smoking ban, which has caused jam-ups in front of every bar in the city, as drunken louts and lasses crowd the sidewalk, puffing madly away because they are no longer allowed to have a cig with their scotch. He also succeeded in taking control of the city's elementary schools, a long-sought-after reform that has resulted in mostly nothing.
And now comes the hard part. The reduction in economic activity that inevitably accompanies a slowing or recessionary economy will hit New York City's public coffers very hard. The city makes its money from transactions — stock trades, mergers and acquisitions, and the like — of which it takes a teeny tiny cut. When the number of those transactions falls from 100 billion a year to 50 billion in a year, the city instantly finds itself going from a surplus in its budget to a huge deficit that, by law, it must close. And it will fall to Bloomberg to close it. And close it he will, with his favorite method of closing it — raising taxes.
He is going to end his mayoralty vastly less popular than he has been through most of it. And that will reflect the true quality of the mayoralty, which has been mediocre.

The Walking Dead
Who Should Kill The Governor on The Walking Dead Season 3 Finale? (POLL)
People will be dying all over the place on The Walking Dead Season 3 finale, which airs Sunday, March 31 on AMC. We've been told Episode 16, "Welcome to the Tombs" will have a "satisfying" ending with "a resolution to the storyline," and that has to include the death of The Governor, right? Maybe not, but let's say the one-eyed monster will be tamed. Who should do the deed? Everyone has a reason to want him dead. Here are some options to off the Gov. Make your choice below.
• Andrea is stuck in Woodbury, all tied up thanks to her ex-lover. She could use some redemption after her fell-for-the-BS season, and since Merle already died to get his redemption, maybe she should kill for hers?
• Maggie was degraded and almost raped by the guy. Glenn is also pissed because of that. Should one of them kill The Gov? If so, we'd pick Maggie, but she's also the less bloodthirsty of the two.
• Daryl is angry because The Governor started this whole thing, and it led to the death of his brother, Merle. He wants to take The Gov's head off. Should he get out his crossbow for the job?
• Rick is not the Ricktator anymore, but he's still giving speeches so we have to consider him the group leader. Should the prison group leader defeat the Woodbury group leader?
• The Governor has tried to kill Michonne a couple of times, and she's one of the only people to even bother trying to kill him back. She took out one of his eyes, should she be the one to do the rest too?
• Milton seems like a mild-mannered guy, but he could prove his worth by using his Woodbury connections to help kill The Gov.
• Or maybe Tyreese could find his way back into the good graces of Team Prison by realizing The Gov is evil and taking him down?
Vote for your choice to do the deed — or vote to keep the guy alive, if that's your thing.
I bet he stays alive into Season 4
I bet someone does kill him on the finale
Read a bunch of season finale spoilers/teases here. And, when you're ready, fast forward for some teasers on Season 4.

Among the legions of MGBs out there, the most valuable have to be the early Mark I models that were introduced halfway through 1962. Coming from the MGA, the sleek 2-seater was a very big deal in the early '60s, and with a few smart upgrades, this pretty green roadster is one of those rare investment-grade Bs.
Stripped to a bare tub and rebuilt from there, this incredibly straight and solid MGB has had more invested in it than most cars costing twice as much. Wherever new sheetmetal was required, entirely new panels were installed instead of patching the old ones, and the original welds and seams were re-welded to strengthen the body. That's correct British Racing Green, which is brighter and more yellow than most folks think, and it looks fantastic on the sleek MGB bodywork. Experts will note a myriad of small detail upgrades, including the bullet-style mirrors and trunk rack, but it still retains things like the original pull-style door handles which were only available on very early cars. Gaps are quite good and the quality of the workmanship would be at appropriate on far more expensive cars. Most of the chrome and stainless trim was refinished during the restoration, making the little green car truly sparkle.
The interior is also all-new, from the seat covers to the carpets to the simple door panels. The white piping on the seats and door panels gives it a playful feel that's less austere than some of the later models with all the black plastic pieces, and again, there are smart modifications that make it a pleasure to drive. Perhaps the most obvious upgrade is the center console, but it also includes such niceties as a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo head unit (which required a switch to a negative ground electrical system), removable sun visors, and a late-model 4-speed transmission with electric overdrive. Beautiful Jaeger instruments make the MGB look far more upscale and the leather-wrapped banjo-style wheel is quite attractive. A new black convertible top and matching black leather boot provide a great look, top up or top down, and the trunk is nicely finished with black carpets and a matching cover for the spare tire.
The engine is a fully rebuilt 5-main-bearing engine from a 1979 model with a fresh cam inside and a pair of rebuilt and tuned SU HS4 carburetors. Thanks to the interchangeability of parts on these cars, the later engine looks quite authentic under the hood, particularly painted in MG Maroon with a lovely aluminum valve cover, and the individual air cleaners on the carburetors look racy. A Pertronix electronic ignition system was stashed inside the original distributor, so it lights off quickly and easily, and all the wiring harnesses are brand new. The starter and generator were also rebuilt, along with the fuel pump, which draws from a freshly cleaned and sealed gas tank. Brakes, steering, and suspension were rebuilt and thanks to a new stainless exhaust system, it has a robust engine note that's a delight to the ears. Original painted wires look fantastic and wear new 195/60/14 blackwall radials that fit in the wheel wells perfectly.
A delightful early MGB that has been properly finished so it can be enjoyed without a second thought. Call today!

EARLY BIRD: Flacco's leadership appreciated
Ravens will stick to run game
EARLY BIRD: Waking up Tuesday with the Ravens, a day off from practice before they resume preparations for the Texans.
Two-minute topic: Joe Flacco's even-tempered leadership is appreciated by teammates.
Flacco is low-key, but his teammates appreciate his low maintenance personality.
Two weeks into the regular season, Flacco's patience has already been tested. Ravens receivers have dropped their share of passes. Flacco has taken a few sacks when offensive linemen missed blocks. Yet, you have not seen Flacco yelling at teammates. You have not seen Flacco display negative body language.
During Super Bowl week, retired Ravens center Matt Birk said he had never seen Flacco yell at an offensive lineman after missing a block. Never. When asked about that, Flacco said he didn't see the point of yelling, because he knew linemen weren't trying to miss their blocks. He also said he wouldn't want them yelling at him when he messed up.
That's vintage Flacco –low-key, but to the point. As the Ravens go through offensive growing pains, Flacco's steadiness will be a key as he works with a young receiver like Marlon Brown. When the Ravens struggled during the first half Sunday, Brown said he remained upbeat because he took his cue from Flacco.
"I wasn't frustrated because I looked at Joe and Joe wasn't frustrated," Brown said. "He's our leader, so if our leader isn't frustrated, and he's calm and cool, I'm going to be like, 'We're going to be alright, because Joe's going to be alright."'
That's the way Flacco leads – by example. Sometimes, what Flacco doesn't say actually says a lot.
Morning thought: "He played to keep everything in front of him. He played with a lot of maturity in that way, and it was good to see. He played well."
John Harbaugh, evaluating rookie safety Matt Elam's first start on Sunday.

Angus and Julia Stone
December 13th 2007 00:07
Angus and Julia Stone
By - Kimmo
Hey man Im going to a gig tonight, theyre an underground Australian band. They were the words that opened a whole new and inspiring experience of music for me when I first discovered a band called Angus and Julia Stone, a brother and sister from Newport on the Northern Beaches of New South Wales. You wouldnt know it by the way they meld but Angus was originally a solo artist playing in pubs and open mike nights. The only calibration at this point was Julia singing backups for Anguses set.
Eventually they decided to team up for their first EP, Chocolate and Cigarettes in 2006, which included their first singles, Paper Airplane and Mango Tree. They both got a lot of air time on triple j. after releasing Chocolate and Cigarettes and played at small festivals like Splendor in the Grass and Great Escape.
Later in 2006 they decided to tour the UK to further the bands popularity, which did pay off. I think some of that popularity can be traced back to the tight knit sound of the band, which includes drummer and percussionist Mitch Connelly (also the bands photographer) and bass player Clay MacDonald. Clay is also Angus and Julias supporting act with his band The Orange Bird.
Their next EP, Heart Full of Wine was released in February of 2007, six beautiful and poetic songs which are both natural traits of the band. The title track Heart Full of Wine is my personal favorite, sweet and innocent which describes Anguses writing style so well. His voice being so soft yet powerfully piercing is a knockout combo and gets me every time.
With their quirky brother/sister theme working well for them it was only a matter of time before they took off. Their set at the well publicized 2007 Big Day Out boosted them into that limelight. Soon after that they released The Beast, the single to their first full length CD with 12 tracks. Although not as quirky, they were more musically full and complete. Watching them grow is a great thing and I personally cant wait for a new album to blow my mind again.
Here is the first interview Angus and Julia Stone ever did, with an unplugged take on "Mango Tree"

After 35 years in a "big law firm," Liz Smith-Chavez '70 opened her own boutique law firm (Smith Chavez Law) in 2013 in San Diego, specializing in business, real estate and probate litigation and dispute resolution, as well as oil and gas throughout the Western United States and Alaska. Liz has two daughters and three stepsons, as well as a 7 year old grandson who shares her passion for dinosaurs. She is probably the only attorney around with dinosaur poop in her office, right next to the books she has published on California Real Property litigation.

Hey guys it's been awhile since I've had to do this but it looks like it's getting time for me to have to re-peak my dish. I have a 5lnb dish. Do I recall it's 99 © as the main satelite which normally ends up also aligning with the others at the same time when you max the signal strength up??? This gets tricky to remember which satelite to go by now that you have several listings on the signal strength screen for 99. I was going to have to remember this anyways because it looks like soon I'll be changing my lnb over to a SWM lnb. Thanks ahead of time

Don't "peek", but peaking is done on either 99c or one of the 103c (a or . These are the national and the narrowest beams.

It's actually satellite 119 that's key. Peak it (assuming your mast is plumb) & the others get peaked as well. This is useful.

"Actually" that is only good for the tilt and wouldn't get you even close for the Ka SATs.

$30,443 – $34,882 Invoice
14 / 18 MPG City/Hwy
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe !
What's New
The 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe adds a new engine option this year: a Vortec 5300 Flex-Fuel V-8 that can operate on a combination of gasoline and E85 ethanol fuel. Other changes include relocating the catalytic converters closer to the engine for improved emissions, making the tire pressure monitoring system standard, combining the OnStar and XM Satellite Radio antennas into one, and installing a new parking brake adjuster.
The 2006 model year will be the last year that the best-selling Tahoe as we know it exists. (The 2007 model, which went on sale in the second quarter of 2006, is a much different vehicle.) Capable of hauling up to nine passengers when equipped with the optional third row, and able to tow up to 7,800 pounds, the Tahoe has attracted a loyal following. When the second-row seats are folded forward, it creates nearly 105 cubic feet of cargo space and the convenience of a flat floor.
Now, in addition to the standard Vortec 4800, 4.8L V-8 engine, which is rated at 285 hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, Tahoe customers seeking even more power can opt for the Vortec 5300, 5.3L V-8, which generates 295 hp and 330 lb.-ft. of torque. It also offers the benefit of Flex-Fuel, which, in addition to the ability to run on gasoline can also run on ethanol, a biomaterial derived from corn that reduces emissions. Both engines come with a Tow/Haul mode that improves performance in heavy-load situations and both are coupeed to a four-speed automatic transmission.
With rising fuel prices an ongoing concern, the Active Fuel Management (formerly called Displacement on Demand) feature of the new Vortec 5300 is a welcome benefit. This system automatically deactivates half of the V-8 engine's cylinders when power isn't needed, such as when idling or cruising on the freeway. Another fuel-saving technology on the Tahoe is its all-electric cooling system that reduces parasitic power losses on the engine by eliminating the engine-driven fan.
The Competition
The Chevrolet Tahoe fits into the Large Utility segment marked by big SUVs capable of taking on big tasks. Whether it's transporting lots of people and their gear or towing a heavy trailer, they are up to the task.
As indicated in the J.D. Power and Associates Sales ReportSM for calendar year 2005, the Chevrolet Tahoe was the sales leader in the Large Utility segment. Of the segment's 565,975 annual sales, 152,305 were Tahoes. Next in line was the Ford Expedition with 114,137 sales. The remaining five SUVs in the group all had sales below 100,000. They are, in order of sales volume, the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Toyota Sequoia, and Nissan Armada.

Barack Obama wasn't the only winner of yesterday's election day — and we're not just talking about all those congresspeople and local officials who were elected. People were as glued to their laptops as they were to the TV, naturally, and their comments and retweets voted a number of other people, memes and causes into our hearts. Here are 10 more of the night's victors:
1. Obama's social media team, whose elated "Four more years" tweet became the most shared post in Twitter history, according to Mediabistro.
2. Diane Sawyer, whose loopy behavior and slurred speech was immediately a trending topic on Twitter, making many a CNN loyalist switch over to ABC. Hey, we were all drowning our nerves in alcohol, so we could totally identify.
3. Flag hair lady, whose appearance behind Obama during his victory speech was hilariously distracting and meme-worthy. Patriotism comes in all sorts of forms!
4. Every designer Michelle Obama loves, and all the fashion bloggers who love to follow her. They even praised the fact that the Michael Kors dress she wore last night was one she'd worn before. Also, look out for Malia and Sasha!
5. Nate Silver, whose predictions again proved to be uncannily accurate, earning him the admiration and lust of the public.
6. Big Bird, who was also largely credited with Obama's victory on Twitter. Not that he's one to gloat.
7. Eva Longoria, who's excitement in this photo from her Whosay is contagious. Also all the other Obama-endorsing celebs, from Diddy and Katy Perry ("Done and Dusted!") to Peter Facinelli and Cher.
8 and 9. Marriage equality supporters and potheads, who celebrated a round of legislative victories in tweets that encompassed both issues. Same-sex marriage was legalized in Maine and Maryland, a ban on it was voted down in Minnesota, and votes are still being counted for it in Washington. Washington and Colorado voted to legalize recreational marijuana use.
10. Joe Biden, who might actually appear happier than his running mate, which makes sense since his job in the next four years is a bit easier than the president's.

Best Fast Food St. Louis 2012 - Jack in the Box
4111 Lindell Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63108-2913
Jack in the Box has cheap grub, late-night hours and funny commercials. And with a hell of a lot of variety on the menu, something is sure to hit the spot. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, breakfast items, tacos, salads, shakes and "snacks" that range from mini corn dogs to egg rolls will ensure that you're set. Oh, and you have the option of French fries or curly fries because this is America, dammit (and we like our fast-food chains pro-choice!). We even like their commercials, which are risqué, smart and funny without being sexist (ahem).

Duluth, Minn. - Both Al Sands and Gary Eyer have added accessories to their wardrobes...bright shiny championship belts.
This past Saturday night, both Duluth boxers won titles.
Sands points out that he is "Haitian-born and 2-1-8 built" and at Black Bear Casino, "The Haitian Temptation" fought great in the 2-1-8, knocking out Lucas St. Clair (2-2) in the first round to claim the vacant Minnesota Cruiserweight Title. Sands is now 9-1 and has won seven straight fights.
In the other headliner, Eyer went wire-to-wire with Blake Franklin (10-6-2) for the vacant NABU Lightweight Title. "Stone Cold" was crowned the champion after by split decision. He is now 11-2-1.
"Now, it (championship) is mine and I am not letting it go and it is a great feeling to have something to show everybody and something that recognizes myself as the State Champion, it is a great feeling," says Sands.
"It is awesome, it (belt) is heavy and really pretty and it is my favorite color (green) and everything," says Eyer.

Johnson City police say a man cut through the walls of multiple storage units in the area obtaining various items such as jewelry, tools and electronics.
Joey Edward Holmes, 28, was charged with 210 counts of burglary Thursday after he was located by police following an anonymous tip from a caller.
"The information that we got seemed like pretty good information," said Investigator Michael Barron of the Johnson City Police Department. "We started yesterday, first thing, when we came in, and ended up finding some jewelry sales and gold transactions ... that had been recurring for quite some time that was going along with the suspect."
Barron said the investigations into the burglaries began around four months ago when reports came in about someone entering storage facilities in the west and south areas of Johnson City by way of cutting into the units' walls.
"They would end up making entry into ... one of the individual units, but then they would cut through the walls ... to all of the adjacent units," Barron said. "We knew pretty much from the first one that we had a problem because ... it was something that we hadn't really seen before."
Barron said the facilities reportedly burglarized were South Roan Self Storage, Smith Wholesale, Wide Open Space Storage, Ideal Storage, Roy's Moving and Storage and 11-E Mini-Storage.
"We've had these types of facilities broken into before, but not on this scale and ... not consistently from location to location the same way each time," Barron said.
He said that most of the burglaries happened at night.
"We still do have an open investigation and there are still some other charges pending," Barron said. "So, it's something we are going to be working on probably for several days after today, and maybe next several weeks."
Barron said Holmes was found at the Johnson Inn at 2700 W. Market St. and was charged with 210 counts of burglary and one count of theft of property over $60,000.
He was taken to the Washington County Detention Center and held on $100,000 bond. Holmes was scheduled for arraignment Friday in Sessions Court.
