- Verified Purchase & Recommended Product
I am an HVAC person, and I live in a house with baseboard heat. I tried the ceramic heaters, but they did not cut the mustard. I saw this on the Home Depot site. It was the only one that said 1800 sq ft. The price was worth trying. Since we bought this, we are so happy and cozy! We keep it at 65F, and it outdoes the two ceramic heaters at the same amps 2:1. I would definately recommend this to anyone. Just remember to clean the filter.Pros: Durable, Easy to Clean, Lots of Features, Easy to Use, Sturdy, High Quality, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Stylish, Good Size & Weight, Nice Design

I don't get why some people are so hung up on judging gays as "abnormal". In my book, anyone who treats other people with respect and consideration is good....anyone who is judgemental, bigoted, condemning and just plain mean is bad... regardless of what and who they are. Open-minded, Accepting people = good, Closed-minded, self-righteous people = bad. And if you really believe in God, you will realize that God wants people to all get along. Do you remember the Golden Rule? Why do people have to be so hurtful to people who are not hurting them, particularly under the guise of "family values"? Take care of your own family and leave everyone else to worry about their own.
Bravo, Ellen and J.C. Penney.
I agree marvinvernon...a picture of anyone with a bullet hole in their head drawn by a student is a serious warning sign. It's not political or a racist statement, it's a sign of emotional disturbance.
We no longer live in the "Ozzie and Harriett" world of the 1950s when moms had time for the PTA, teacher conferences and checking homework. Our society is made up of many more single-working- parent and financially-strapped households. What our schools need to do at this point in time is to focus on getting the children to be self-motivated, self-sufficient and to be responsible for their own progress. Highly trained and motivated teachers will do a lot to help our students progress no matter what school they attend and no matter what their home life is like.
New Orleans will prove that it has became an enlightened and advanced city when color, race, and gender are not as important as what is best for us all. Let us be an inspiration for the rest of the country & the world!!
Very witty!!! Maybe we should say "Colts having Night MARES"...
...with joy while celebrating their victory in the name of the whole WHO DAT nation. (Poor Colts)
...or else they got a glimpse of Jeremy Shockey without a shirt on and realized there is a heaven on earth.
He is a TIGHT END, after all.
Hey, women get their own pleasures from watching football....
Shockey is a hottie...and when he smiles....OMG. Even if they won't admit it, lots of women feel the same way about this "Bad Boy". Can't wait to see him (play) on Feb. 7!!!!
I think the Super Dome idea is great! From HorrorDome to SuperBowlSuperPartyDome!!
I like the water park idea. It is SO hot around here in the summer it would be nice to have a place to take the kids out for a day. It would also be another tourist attraction. It would be right off I-10, so if it also had a nice place to spend the night and grab a nice meal, people driving through would have a reason to stop. Face it, our area could use every tourist $ it could get.
...and as far as telling the parents the truth: Parents will only hear what they want to hear. Once, a teacher told a mother that her child was falling asleep in class. Instead of trying to get the child to bed earlier, the mother told the teacher that her child must be tired and why didn't she just let him sleep in class and leave him alone. Sounds crazy, but this is a common response when a teacher tries to have a parent help with a problem that is occurring in the classroom, but is coming from a situation at home.
There are certain guidelines about when a student can be retained. They can no longer be held back until they are ready to advance. They have certain "rights" to be promoted. Also, we would end up with a lot of 10 year-olds still in kindergarten and 4th graders old enough to drive themselves to school.
For a child to succeed, education has to come from a cooperative effort from both school and home. You think you can "measure" how effective a teacher is, but what is really needed is a way to "measure" how effective a job the parents/guardians are doing.
I was referring to the principal's "discretion" about which teachers students are placed with....
Brilliant observation. The public may not be aware of this sort of education politics, but it is VERY much in existence everywhere, and highly denied.
Maybe if you would partake of the "liberal's drug", you'd have better spelling and grammar.

bring on the casino. i live in the palmer area and yeah traffic would suck. oh well. i will deal with it. everyone sits there bitchin how there taxes are going up and new taxes are being added. well this would help out the mass economy immensly. it would bring tons of jobs. ok maybe they aren't the best jobs but they're jobs. i don't know how many people know palmer but all you got are a couple gas stations, a dunkin donuts and mcdonald and a wendys. you can't tell me this would not be good for the town. a casino might actually make palmer a desirable town to come to and live in. and don't tell me crime is going to go way up. the security in a resort casino would if anything prevent anyone getting away with crime. and yes you will have your gambling addicts but they will go to ct and give them all their money or someone else illegally. get your head out of your @sses people. this is something massachusetts needs.
theres plenty of people out there that have records for duis or possesion from when your a teenager. people grow up and mature over the years and their stuck with these records years later even when they are law abiding citizens. i highly doubt this will really affect the bad seeds out there. but for those ones who have turned a new leaf this is much needed.
you're so naive. give me a break to dangerous. you don't know the first thing about it
you have the right to hate either one of them but we should have the right to enjoy it. i don't think anyone here is advocating for smoking pot at the park next to your kids or outside of a restaurant. you drink in public you get arrested and it should be the same for smoking. i smoked for 10 years and never smoked out in public where the potential for kids to be around. your kids will eventually have the opportunity to smoke it whether you want to belive it or not. its up to you to raise your kids to make the right decision. neither one of my parents ever smoked or ever agreed on the decisions i have made in my past not to say they were bad parents because they aren't because they raised 3 kids who all are or will be very successful in life. if everyone smoked a joint a day this world would be a much better place.
I have smoked weed in the past but currently do not. I find when I was smoking it helped me sleep and took away a lot of the stress and anxiety I had. I wouldn't abuse it and get totally baked. A couple hits here and a couple hits there was all I needed. I was never addicted and never tried any of the "hardcore drugs" because I smoked weed. Legalize it and tax it so we can stop taxing everything else in this state. Alcohol is a much greater danger than pot has or ever will be. I've gotten into a lot more trouble from drinking than smoking.
They are going to get everyone worked up over 2-5 inches of snow?!?! Come on it's new england. That's nothing.
i really don't think we have to worry to much about dice-k. he may not be the superstar we were hoping for when they signed him but he will be by far the best #4 guy in baseball. he has a lot to prove this year and there is no wbc to play in so he'll be ready.
he may be mr super wonderful perfect guy but he still violated a law and needs to do the time.
the kid needs to do time. suck it up, admit you screwed up and deal with the consequences. i did. why should anybody be treated differently? i don't care if your black, white, purple, orange, young, old, crippled or otherwise. we all have to live to the same rules as everyone else period. some of us have to live and learn the hard way. i'll tell you that what i was busted for i was glad. it screwed my life up but i probably wouldn't have learned my lesson until it was too late. hes still young enough to get out at a decent age and turn his life around.

UTA Clarifies Media Reports, Did Not Request Tax Increase
The Utah Transit Authority would like to clarify recent media reports regarding a requested increase in tax funding. Contrary to these reports, UTA has not asked state officials for a tax increase. UTA's existing funding is sufficient for current operations, which include the addition of the Draper TRAX Line and the Sugar House streetcar line before the end of 2013.
On July 17, UTA was invited to attend the Transportation Interim Committee to provide a report on UTA programs and projects. In our presentation to the committee, we discussed the Unified Plan, the long-range transportation plan for both roadways and transit. The Unified Plan was created by the local mayors and government officials from five of the state's major planning and transportation organizations; the Utah Department of Transportation, the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Wasatch Front Regional Council, the Mountainland Association of Governments, and the Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization. The Unified plan has been endorsed by all the participating agencies, and has received the Governor's Quality Growth Award.
The Unified Plan identifies future anticipated transportation improvements needed to keep pace with population growth over the next 30 years. It examines issues such as freeway and surface street capacity, as well as public transit needs in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Cache and Dixie counties. The plan also recommends funding methods to facilitate the recommended projects.
UTA remains dedicated to serving the public as efficiently as possible. The opening of the Draper TRAX Line in August marks the completion of the FrontLines 2015 project, under budget and two years ahead of schedule. By completing the FrontLines 2015 initiative early, UTA helped save taxpayers more than $300 million. We would like to thank our riders and the communities we serve for their continuing support as we strive to provide innovative, accessible transportation to the Wasatch Front.

The secret to amazing taco meat
I'm hosting a taco party soon, and am wondering- what's the secret to really amazing taco meat? I'd prefer not to just mix together a packet of seasoning and a lump of ground meat.
So what's the best seasoning blend, and the best form of meat to make some truly yummy tacos?
I'll of course be serving both the grocery store style taco shells/wappers, and some authentic corn tortillas.

Oshawa at Kingston
Oshawa defeated Division rivals in back to back home games by an identical 4-1 score this past weekend. They remain in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, 4 points behind Barrie, and 9 points ahead of 4th place Brampton. On Friday night the Gens outshot the 67s 50-18, and on Sunday they outshot the Petes 52-23. Tyler Biggs assisted on both of Boone Jenner's goals on Friday night, and Scott Sabourin had a pair of goals. Boone Jenner added a pair of assists on Sunday evening. Jenner is running away with the point scoring lead for the Gens, despite playing only 50 games. He is 11th in OHL scoring, with 73 points (37 goals).
Kingston has to keep gaining points if they are to stay ahead of the Petes, and perhaps overtake the Steelheads in the tight Eastern Conference race. Mississauga is 7th, with 55 points. Kingston is 8th, with 53 points, and Peterborough is 9th, with 49 points.
The Fronts have been lead for most of the season by 3 rookies up front. Henri Ikonen leads the team with 48 points, Spencer Watson is second with 41, and Sam Bennett is 6th with 34. The line lead the Fronts to a 6-3 victory in Erie, in their last game. Ikonen had a goal, Watson, had a goal and two assists, and Bennett had 2 goals and 2 assists. Ikonen and Watson lead the team with plus-2 ratings, and Bennett is even.
There is some question as to the health of Ikonen, as he was hit hard in Erie, by Hayden Hodgson, who was assessed a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for the hit. A couple of Kingston defensemen may be suspended in separate incidents in this game, as well.
Kingston can't afford to get into a "run and gun" game with the Gens, and need to hold their opponents to fewer shots than they had this past weekend, when they broke the 50 barrier in back to back wins. Staying out of the penalty box will be a key to the Frontenacs.
My prediction Oshawa 4 at Kingston 3
Brampton at Belleville
The Battalion are in 4th place in the Eastern Conference and are traditionall a very disciplined team under coach Stan Butler. They have exactly 600 PIMs, for the lowest total in the OHL. Compare that with the team that holds down 3rd in the Western Conference - the Owen Sound Attack - who have nearly twice the number of penalty minutes (1104), and you wonder how much this stat actually means.
The Battalion are just two points ahead of the surprising Sudbury Wolves. These two teams would face each other in the first round of the playoffs, if the season ended now.
This will be the 4th and final meeting between these two teams, and the first since Oct 12th. In the 3 previous meetings, there have been a grand total of 5 regulation time goals. Brampton won 1-0, and lost 2-0 on home ice, and the Bulls won 2-1 in a shootout at Yardman Arena in Belleville. Much has changed since then.
Prior to the OHL Trade Deadline, Belleville had scored 101 goals in 39 games, or 2.59 goals per game. Since then, they have scored 90 goals in 19 games, or 4.74 goals a game. The incredible turnaround is thanks in large part to the addition of two former Ottawa 67s in Tyler Graovac, Jake Cardwell, and former Pete, and Frontenac, Alan Quine. Quine and Graovac, in particular have allowed coach Burnett to roll 4 lines, and have any one of them score. Joseph Cramarossa and Daniil Zharkov look like totally different players in the second half of the season. No longer does Bulls' captain, Brendan Gaunce have to carry the load offensively.
Stan Butler will have a much more difficult job drawing up a defensive game plan to shut down the now powerful, Conference leading, Belleville Bulls.
My prediction Brampton 2 at Belleville 5
Sudbury at Sault Ste Marie
The Wolves scamper into town hoping to get a win so that they can stay within range of the Brampton Battalion in the Eastern Conference standings. Entering the weekend, the Wolves are trailing Brampton by 2 points but have played one more game than the Battalion. Sudbury has dropped their last 2 contests and only won 3 of their last 10 starts. Leading scorer Michael Campagna has 7 points in 10 games this month after tallying 14 points in 11 games last month. He has 61 points this season - almost double his point total from last year (31). Goalie Franky Palazzese has a career OHL record of 42-43-5-12.
The Greyhound are eager to keep their hot streak alive – tallying points in their last 5 games and an impressive 7-2-1-0 record in their last 10 starts. They are 2 points ahead of the faltering Sarnia Sting any only 2 points behind the Guelph Storm for the #5 spot in the conference. The Whalers have drifted away to the top of their division and are a distant 6 points ahead of Sault Ste Marie to start the weekend. News of the Knights' Rupert suspension has been announced, but still no official news of Nick Cousins being suspended based on his actions during a weekend hit from behind penalty.
My prediction Sudbury 2 Sault Ste Marie 6

I went to an Emery concert a couple weeks ago. I've seen them in concert a bunch of times (more than I can count), and it's phenomenal every time. It's really hard to explain the feeling I get at those concerts, but I'll do my best.
It really feels like I just become a different person. Those that know me will know that I'm rather reserved. I'm not really loud, I'm not hyperactive. I'm generally calm and collected.
That is not who I am when I'm standing in a mosh of people and Emery is playing their hearts out. I transform into a crazy person. I become completely unaware of the other people around me. I sing every last song and scream every last scream. I pull myself up on the barricade and I throw my hands in the air.
And, apparently, my enthusiasm does not go unnoticed.
The last couple times, Josh (the keyboardist and screamer) has allowed me to join the performance experience. He makes his way over to where I'm standing, grabs my head, puts the microphone in my face, and screams at me while I scream along with him. Sound crazy? It's amazing.
This craziness doesn't come about just because of some euphoria created by that environment; it's the connection I have to Emery's music. There's just something in the passion and emotion of their music and the messages they convey. They tackle issues that people struggle with, but never cease to push a message of hope. And when you see them perform, you know that these songs are directly from their hearts. And their passion and energy just translates to my own life, and I can't help but go crazy with them.
When I leave those concerts, I usually feel a variety of things:
Gross. (I'm covered in my sweat and the sweat of strangers.)
Hoarse. (All the screaming and singing usually makes me lose my voice.)
Achy. (It's a lot of work to maintain that front row spot!)
I feel so alive. For just that hour of them performing, I forget about all those other things that might weigh on my mind. For that hour, it's just this amazing band putting on this amazing show and just truthfully sharing their hearts and offering words of hope. That's the thing that makes the show so awesome for me. It's not because the band is phenomenal musically (which they are)or that they know how to put on a good show (which they do), it's because they're speaking to me where I'm at. I mess up, I struggle with things, but I have hope because those sins are forgiven. I have hope because I have a God that just loves me so much, that I can't comprehend.
And for that hour, I am just worshiping. I am letting go of everything else and just singing of failure, struggle, and hope. It's unbelievable.
I wonder what my church would think if I rushed the stage next weekend and went crazy like that...

All of the forties and fifties Chevy and GMC trucks have a special type of screw/bolt called a clutch head. When you are working on disassembling the bed of your truck you need the larger 5/16" clutch head screwdriver. When you are working in the cab all of the dash, doors and striker plates require clutch head screwdrivers - from 5/32" to 5/16".
If you try to take one these out with a regular standard screwdriver it just won't work. You will strip out the head and this screws up a good project.
The five piece set includes a magnetic handle and four bits: 5/32", 3/16", 1/4", and 5/16". This set will do anything related to clutchead on a Chevy or GMC trucks. We have also noticed that people who are working on Corvettes need these screwdrivers. Do you know about any other types of cars that require these clutch heads? Let us know and we'll add it in to our page.

August 3 2015 Latest news:
COMMENT By Stuart Watson
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
IT'S time to take a look at the bigger picture.
Ipswich Town fans are again feeling edgy after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Blackburn plunged the Blues to within a point of the Championship drop zone.
The 4-0 home win over Middlesbrough is Town's only win in 2013 so far, with the bottom three of Barnsley, Bristol City and Peterborough having all claimed more points than Town over the last 10 games.
However, it's important to note that seven teams have all taken less points than the Blues during that period – the likes of Wolves, Huddersfield and Nottingham Forest dropping like stones.
In fact, if you analyse the period since Mick McCarthy arrived at Portman Road, then there are plenty of reasons to feel optimistic that Town will beat the drop.
Over the 18 league games that McCarthy has been in charge, 28 points have been claimed from a possible 54. Only three teams in the division – promotion-chasing Cardiff (39), Watford (37) and Hull (34) – have bettered that since the start of November.
Town undoubtedly lack a creative spark at times, with the central midfield duo of Luke Hyam and Guirane N'Daw defence-minded and a paucity of wide options highlighted by the fact that strikers Aaron Mclean and Frank Nouble ended Saturday's match on the wings.
Let's not forget that the Blues, for all the goals they scored under Paul Jewell's fluid 4-2-3-1 formation, used to be very much a soft touch defensively though. That is what put them in this mess and it's McCarthy's emphasis on organisation and work-rate which got them out of it.
The likes of Anthony Wordsworth, Andy Drury, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Michael Chopra are certainly options should McCarthy decide to freshen things up, but at the same time he can't afford to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
"I don't get too high when we win, I try not to get too low when we lose," said McCarthy, whose side now play Blackpool (Saturday) and Watford (Tuesday) in back-to-back home matches. "We always try and keep a level-headedness about us."
With 45 points still to play for, it's very much a case of keeping calm and carrying on.

Bobby Robson built his team up from the back and I praise McCarthy for doing the same. I'm confident he can keep us up and that he's shown enough already to impress me and give me the belief that he can bring in the players he wants in the summer and we can start next season on a positive. The championship gets harder every year - especially if wealthy clubs like QPR and Aston Villa come donw next season, but with McCarthy in and Clegg gone, I feel the club can finally start moving up the table (from next season). Top 10 has to be the aim for the next 2 years (at least)
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Plenty of reasons to feel optimistic? I can't see them. Every time we get into a position where a win would move us out of trouble we lose. And I wouldn't say JET and Chopra are certainly options, would not like to see either playing or even subs on Saturday, a game we must win. How can we beat Middlesbrough 4-0 one week and play apathetically and lose to an ordinary side the next? Something is wrong somewhere, as it has been for several years, in fact ever since Sheepshanks led us into administration. Do I sound despondent after 45 years? Well I am.

All of our recent failed managers have had a honeymoon period where the players decide to put in a bit more effort for the new manager. The fact Paul Jewell scored 31 points from his first 18 games compared to McCarthy's 28 tells you we're in big trouble now the honeymoon is over.

Sorry to be petty Stuart but I'm confused what your intention is with this article. The headline suggests you're debating whether Town need to take action of some kind (getting rid of McCarthy??). This can't possibly be right - McCarthy is light years ahead of his predecessors Keane and Jewell in regards to experience and know-how! Most Town fans are looking at the league table and worrying, but I can't believe anyone is debating whether 'drastic action' is required. Or, are you simply telling us to not panic? In which case, surely a slightly less ambiguous headline would have done the trick?
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Quite right. That is all.

Steroo's diatribe against this paper really does suggest to me he was a failed "journo" himself, and now a bitter attention seeker. The comment "whether Town deserve to stay up playing a team based on other club's players, is an altogether different question" is a preposterous suggestion, given that loaning players is entirely legitimate.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Re;John Burls, I too have followed the Town since Bill McGarrys time, but we have been spoiled throughout the seventies and eighties, and had us all believing that we would always be a top side. Sadly, reality returned and although we had the chance in 2000 to recover our status we blew it, and now we are just another run of the mill Championship side who are struggling to face up to the fact that we are no longer seen as a side to be feared. Leeds, the two Sheffield clubs, Wolves,Bolton,Leicester, Forest are all teams who think they should be playing at a higher level, and arguably all of them have a stronger claim than we do. Also, we've lost our identity and a complete re-vamp is required if we are serious about a return to the top flight any time soon.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Nice article and very well researched. It gives us hope at the very least.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Ted you are so right, lets hope there is some truth in the for sale stories, there is no smoke without fire.

Steroo I think you will find Watford win that one and look where they are.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
I get dissapointed at comments our current squad if good enough to avoid relegation, which it may well be, however surely we should be building a team now to we have a real chance of promotion next season, therefore we should still be looking at loans of up and coming players that we can sign for next season.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Good Lord a rational piece of writing in the EADT. Maybe it took one or two sane voices on yesterday's webchat to point out that Town's form even in their 'mini-slump' has been better than several clubs because you third rate journos have suddenly changed your tune... and with a couple of home games coming up which Town are likely to snatch narrow wins from instead of narrow defeats, the 6 to 8 point buffer between Town and the drop will be restored. Looking at the bigger picture, whether Town deserve to stay up playing a team based on other club's players, is an altogether different question. Perhaps you EADT journos with time on your hands should draw up another league table based on how many loan players division 2 clubs employ. I guarantee Offshore Investment FC are rock bottom in that table of shame.

There's an old saying that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
In the case of NASCAR Sprint Cup racing, given all the discussions regarding possible changes to the Chase points system, one racer has emerged with a familiar face - albeit covered with a beard and hairdo almost echoing to Johnny Damon stature.
Yes indeed, friends, Jimmie Johnson won Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway, which has done one of these two things to fans and competitors:
- Suck the life out of the Chase, basically making those around the No. 48 believe it's their title once again.
- Lead everyone to believe that there's still a chance to win it, although really...haven't we seen this story before?
OK, so there's still eight races to complete and as Yogi Berra (or for you music buffs out there, Lenny Kravitz) once said, "It ain't over til it's over." But the truth is, even when the No. 48 got collected in a pair of crashes at Loudon in the Chase opener, was there ever any doubt that driver Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus could come back with a sound rebound?
I could name all the oft-used cliches in the book, like "the fat lady hasn't sung," but instead I'll just say that the No. 48 team has still got one driver to pass in the standings, and he's one particular racer on a mission to derail the Johnson Express from capturing an unprecedented fifth consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.
Denny Hamlin's a man on a mission, along with his No. 11 FedEx Toyota team, aimed and focused on delivering a third title for Joe Gibbs Racing. So far, their Chase has been good enough to lead the points race by 35 markers over Johnson and the No. 48 Lowe's team, which is basically razor thin and shows this points battle could go in the two aforementioned directions.
Will it be a Hamlin-Johnson battle to the end or is the complexion of this year's championship battle hardly taking shape? Every track from Kansas to Homestead-Miami is a wild card and a crap shoot to the finish. Variables like a last lap pass, ill-handling car, or the inevitable "Big One" could play a hand in who wins the championship in 2010.
Here's a look at the top 12 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship contenders, including a glance at how they performed last Sunday at Dover and a preview of what's to come for each team for this Sunday's Price Chopper 400 at Kansas Speedway, complete with a probability percentage of their chances to win the title this year.
1) Denny Hamlin, No. 11 FedEx Toyota/Joe Gibbs Racing
6 wins, 11 top-fives, 13 top-10's, 1 pole
Dover was probably the most eventful weekend thus far for the Hamlin camp, and it warranted attention that wasn't needed for this hearty, determined unit.
In the days leading up to last Sunday's AAA 400, let's just say that honesty wasn't exactly the best policy. Hamlin spoke his mind on the Richard Childress Racing controversy regarding Clint Bowyer's No. 33 Cheerios Chevrolet, which failed post-race inspection.
As expected, RCR wasn't quite happy with the 2006 Raybestos Rookie of the Year winner. How unhappy, you might ask? Well, let's just say "best bud" Kevin Harvick gave him a few retaliation shots with his fender during "Happy Hour" practice on Saturday.
In an attempt to defuse the situation, Hamlin was given a stern "talking to" by his team. A bit apologetic and taken by his words, he would clear the air between the two teams and focus on his points lead with the race.
Quiet, steady, and consistent, the Chesterfield, VA native piloted his Toyota to a ninth-place result, which salvaged their rocky times at Dover.
Now the series heads to Kansas, where Hamlin's not all that strong. However, he was able to net a fifth-place finish last year, which may be just in the cards for the aggressive, hard-charging driver.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 85-90%
2) Jimmie Johnson, No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet/Hendrick Motorsports
6 wins, 11 top-fives, 15 top-10's, 3 poles
How's that for "not in the picture" anymore? Not since Jeff Gordon's dominance in the late 1990s have we seen a driver and team that can easily put the rest of the tour on its collective knees - until Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus joined the fray in 2002.
They went to "college" from 2002-'05 and looked like proverbial geniuses who just needed a few occasions to get polished, appearing just a bit rough around the edges with their outside the box thinking and abilities. Well, since then, they've been the standard to a sport that resists changes, yet, it's the one constant in the sport.
Dover was a quintessential No. 48 performance of near perfection, when their car was basically on rails and he looked more like his teammate and team owner at "The Monster Mile." With his sixth victory of the season (and undoubtedly more on the way), the question then becomes, is anyone else going to step it up?
There appears to be no signs of this team slowing down. While improbable but not impossible, it's just a matter of time before the Lowe's Chevrolet will be atop the points standings. Anyone willing to bet it happens at Kansas?
With one win, two top-fives and six top-10's in his previous eight starts at this facility, chances are, especially based on how he fared at Chicagoland (before his spin), that we'll be seeing that blue and white Impala at the front of the field - probably pulling into Victory Lane for a seventh time.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 90-95%
3) Kyle Busch, No. 18 M&M's Toyota/Joe Gibbs Racing
3 wins, 8 top-fives, 16 top-10's, 2 poles
All the while when Denny Hamlin was stirring things up with RCR, JGR teammate Kyle Busch had a relatively solid weekend at the concrete beast, posting his 11th win in the NASCAR Nationwide Series this season along with a strong sixth place finish in the Cup division.
Clearly, all the talk about his potential, promise, and abilities are being fulfilled right now. We're seeing "Rowdy" at his best, when his composure is relatively cool, sometimes battle tested, but most of the time, focused on plain old winning.
While there wasn't a "W" produced for the '05 rookie winner, what's certain is that JGR has two heavyweight contenders ready to throw some punches at the current and four-time reigning champion. As long as he keeps his cool and has some fun in what's truly the most intense 10 weeks of the season, rest assured, it will at least be a three horse race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November.
As far as how they'll fare at Kansas, his best finish at this venue is a seventh back in 2006. A track similar to Chicagoland, if not a victory, the No. 18 team is a solid bet for a top-five finish on Sunday.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 85-90%
4) Kurt Busch, No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge/Penske Championship Racing
2 wins, 9 top-fives, 16 top-10's, 2 poles
This team's about as hard to truly gauge, likened to a Katy Perry hit more than sipping one of this team's products at a bar. That said, Kurt Busch is past champion, and some of that mettle and experience is showing now in terms of performance and leadership with this perennial racing organization.
Save for their pit road penalty for speeding halfway in the event, it was a great 400 miler for Busch, crew chief Steve Addington, and the No. 2 Dodge team. Turning up their performances when it really matters, perhaps my prognosis two weeks ago about them being merely intermediate track experts will be as accurate as Barry Melrose saying that you have nice hair.
Which No. 2 team are we going to see down the stretch? Will they be the one stepping it up, appearing like a solid dark horse or will the "Blue Deuce" not exactly have the legs to finish this crucial run to the finish?
Kansas isn't exactly kind to Busch, with only two top-tens in his past nine starts. His best finish is sixth back in his title campaign of 2004 - back in his Roush-Fenway Racing days.
While I'd like to think this team will turn their fortunes around and net a solid finish, I'm leaning more toward a sub top-20 finish - history is not on their side and this team has been hit or miss all year long.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 80-85%
5) Kevin Harvick, No. 29 Shell Chevrolet/Richard Childress Racing
3 wins, 12 top-fives, 18 top-10's, 2 poles
Despite backing up his teammate Clint Bowyer prior to the race, perhaps some of that talk and fury should have been saved for the 400-miler on Sunday at Dover.
Racing with an ill-handling beast rather than a bulletproof machine, Kevin Harvick looked a bit mortal with his 15th place finish. While it wasn't disastrous nor amazing, it's the kind of run that may leave some fans concerned as to whether or not they're really prime for a title or if it was just a one-off bad performance.
Richard Childress Racing has been there all year long, solid and steady as they've ever looked as a cohesive unit. From plate races to the bumping and grinding of the short track arenas, RCR, mainly with Kevin Harvick, has looked ready to hoist the Cup in November.
Experience is definitely on their side, as well as their consistency, which has been their strongest aspect all year long. They've been one of the best Chevrolet teams in 2010, proving that there's more than just one organization that can carry the Bowtie Brigade to glory.
While Harvick has yet to garner a top-five finish at Kansas, he does have three top-10's in his nine starts at the quad-oval facility, placing sixth in each of those runs. You might want to make that four top-10's after Sunday - ranging anywhere from a victory to a so-so 10th place finish.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 85-90%
6) Carl Edwards, No. 99 AFLAC Ford/Roush-Fenway Racing
7 top-fives, 15 top-10's, 2 poles
While Ford Racing hasn't exactly been praised at The Podium Finish, the manufacturer, mainly through Roush-Fenway Racing, has finally bounced back in style, with drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, and Matt Kenseth carrying the Blue Oval banner into postseason play.
Yes, they weren't exactly spectacular in the regular season, but at Dover, their strength and potential as a title contender finally showed with a top-10 finish.
Is it that RF9 engine that's finally come into its own?
Has Jack Roush's survival from a near tragic aviation accident motivated this team?
Two yeses there and Carl Edwards hasn't forgotten how to compete in the Sprint Cup Series. There's still quite a ways to go before he looks more like the driver who was the preseason favorite last year but wins aren't out of the picture - and neither is that title.
It may not be too bold to predict that Edwards and crew chief Bob Osbourne, along with the No. 99 AFLAC Ford team, will come home with another top-10 finish at Kansas. With two top-fives and four top-10 runs in their past sixth starts, chalk up another great weekend ahead for this "under the radar" unit.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 75-80%
7) Jeff Burton, No. 31 CAT Chevrolet/Richard Childress Racing
6 top-fives, 14 top-10's
South Boston, VA had to be on its collective feet last Sunday, probably ecstatic that their hometown hero in Jeff Burton had about his strongest performance since his win at Charlotte Motor Speedway two years ago, placing runner-up at Dover last Sunday.
While athletes tend to hype up an event (not just the media, you know!), perhaps Burton was speaking from the heart at a press conference a few weeks ago when he said that the Chase was "the most fun 10 weeks of the year."
Certainly, crew chief Todd Berrier and his No. 31 CAT crew have been partly instrumental with that, with their Chevrolet fleet looking more like winner material than just another face in the field.
If you were to ask fans who they had in their top-12 list during Daytona Speedweeks, Burton's name would probably not appear, along with Harvick, since RCR was out to lunch in 2009.
As such, that's why they're called prognostication - just imagine if meteorologists were 100 percent on the dot with their forecasts!
That said, "Senator" Burton looks about as ready and determined to get his first Cup championship and it may receive a boost with another top-five finish at Kansas.
Placing fifth in 2006, while his track record isn't exactly one of the best among active racers, this is a renaissance for a man whose career looked as bleak as an overcast autumn day back in...well, South Boston.
But these are sunny days for RCR, even with the Bowyer controversy. This team is for real and so is the '94 Raybestos Rookie winner.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 65-70%
8) Jeff Gordon, No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet/Hendrick Motorsports
10 top-fives, 14 top-10's
You just have to scratch your head and wonder what is going on with the No. 24 team. Jeff Gordon hasn't forgotten how to drive the wheels off his car and crew chief Steve Letarte isn't that bad of a team leader, competent enough to lead 10 of his 82 career wins.
However, the biggest letdown for "The Rainbow Warriors" last Sunday at Dover was well - the team themselves. Sure, a win was out of the question, as well as a top-five performance.
However, this group should have at least propelled Gordon to a top-10 finish and instead, left "The Monster Mile" with a somewhat disappointing 11th-place result.
As said on The Podium Finish since June, in order for this team to win, their cars need to be fast. At least on the driver's end, they've been doing well, and for the most part, Letarte's made good decisions.
The pit crew's been lightning fast for the most part but they had an uncharacteristic performance last weekend. If another aspect unravels down the stretch, with the assumption that this team cannot produce fast cars, you're looking at a potential third winless season for Gordon.
Heading to Kansas, this was the site of the No. 24 team's oh-so-close runner-up finish to Tony Stewart last year. They won the first two events at this venue and have four other top-fives along with a total of seven top-10s. If this team expects to even contend for the title, there's nothing acceptable but a victory.
Realistically though, look for them to have a car that starts off fast and slows down as the race progresses - just how far ahead will they be? Look at this team posting a top-10 finish at best but really getting another one of those questionable top-15 finishes.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 70-75%
9) Greg Biffle, No. 16 3M Ford/Roush-Fenway Racing
1 win, 5 top-fives, 14 top-10's
Ever had one of those time when you had all your plans laid out and it looked like you'd actually get to do all of them, only to have one thing leading to another?
Well, that was the case of Greg Biffle's story at Dover last Sunday, getting trapped a lap down while having a pit stop during a green-flag run, effectively setting the tone for the remainder of the race for this team and placing 19th when all was said and done.
Circumstances aside, this team is capable of posting top-10's on a regular basis, with a win sprinkled into the mix. They're not title material, but they're not just Chase fillers either.
Three years ago, Greg Biffle and his No. 16 3M Ford team were surrounded by controversy with their victory "on fumes" under caution at Kansas, which truly put the "frozen field" policy in question by competitors, fans, and the press. However, as the old adage goes, a win's a win, and they earned it.
Next to Gordon, "The Biff" is a fantasy owner's best bet for a victory at Kansas, with five top-10s in his past eight starts. All of those performances have been in the top-five, so rest assured, they'll be in the mix for yet another win on Sunday, perhaps serving as Ford's best shot to win at the track that even "The Wizard of Oz" couldn't conceptualize.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 70-75%
10) Tony Stewart, No. 14 Old Spice Chevrolet/Stewart-Haas Racing
1 win, 7 top-fives, 14 top-10's, 1 pole
Penalties are game breakers in any sport, be it in the gridiron fields of football, a relay race at an Olympic stadium, or a stock car arena in Dover, DE.
Such was the case for Tony Stewart and his No. 14 team, as they were doled a speeding violation which relegated this collective with a 21st place result. While some may say his hot run has fizzled in the Chase, Stewart hasn't always been a fast starter but that could hurt him down the stretch.
However, the circuit heads to a track that has treated the two-time Cup champion with open arms, logging in two victories, along with four top-fives and six top-10's in his previous 9 races at Kansas.
His victory last year was one of this owner/driver's highest moments in his career, about as ecstatic to win this event as a driver who's just won the Daytona 500. Successes are always appreciated by Stewart, but with his role increased as the driver and owner of his car, it's even more gratifying for the "Rushville Rocket."
Look for a top-10 finish for this team, although this unit may struggle and fall back to a top-15 run, as anything from a speeding penalty to an ill-handling machine might impede their run for at this year's title.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 80-85%
11) Matt Kenseth, No. 17 DeWalt Ford/Roush-Fenway Racing
5 top-fives, 10 top-10's
Not to sound like a broken record, but Matt Kenseth hasn't forgotten how to drive a racecar. In fact, he's a past champion in the Sprint Cup Series, having won the title in the last year before the Chase in 2003.
However, save for his 2009 Daytona 500 win, Kenseth hasn't done much in recent years. That could be due to the fact that Ford's struggled since the Hendrick/Chevrolet dominance set in 2006 or the fact that the team lacks a solid leader to inspire and raise the confidence level of the quiet and steady racer from Cambridge, WI.
Then there's mental errors, which are prone with even a top driver like Kenseth. As seen last Sunday at Dover, the driver of the No. 17 Ford blew a tire while attempting to pit during a green flag run, which relegated this team to costly 18th place finish.
Kenseth does have two top-five finishes at Kansas along with three top-10's at Kansas, but his average finish at this circuit is 22.1. This team cannot afford another mediocre finish so while the logic is always to get the best finish (a win), look for the DeWalt team to go for a somewhat conservative game plan on Sunday, opting for a top-10 rather than a win.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 60-65%
12) Clint Bowyer, No. 33 Cheerios Chevy/Richard Childress Racing
1 win, 5 top-fives, 15 top-10's
From hero to zero, from being on top of the world to being with Persephone in the underworld, it's been about the most hellish two weeks for Clint Bowyer, crew chief Shane Wilson, and the No. 33 team.
Two weeks ago, they looked about as poised for an underdog march to the title with a sounding victory at Loudon, NH. However, their car didn't conform to NASCAR's rules and while it wasn't by much in tolerance, the consequences doled out were largely heard and felt.
Dropping from second to twelfth in the rundown, there's absolutely no way for this team to win the title - barring a miracle with a triumph in Richard Childress' last appeal after their penalties were upheld midweek.
Distracted, distraught, and perhaps even defeated, this unit sulked to a 25th-place finish at Dover last Sunday, with their confidence shattered to almost Rick Ankiel limits.
However, nobody's looking forward to Kansas more than Bowyer and company, as the track is virtually the "Cheerios Man's" hometown facility. Growing up in Emporia, KS, the 30-year-old racer wouldn't like anything more but a victory, and his track record's favorable to that.
With a top-five and two top-10's in his previous four races at Kansas Speedway, if there's even a prayer to be heard from the racing gods for what would be one of the greatest comebacks in all of sports, it all starts on Sunday. While a win may be what they're aiming for, a fifth through 15th place finish may be more acceptable or in this case, more realistic.
Chances of Winning the Championship: 10-15%

Here is another placeholder post. I'm borrowing this recipe from Michael Ruhlman. I've been hankering to make gumbo with all the brown roux and gumbo ingredients. Today's plan was to go to the big box store and pick up the missing parts, until I came across this simple recipe. This I need to try.
Except it won't be like his. I don't have 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs and I don't want to buy that much. I do have a frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast that is a about 1lb. (I can get three meals from that and a cup of dry rice). I'm going to make the full amount of sauce because you can't have to much and it can be frozen.
I'm going to brown and partially cook the chicken breast in the pot instead of roasting over medium heat. Remove. Add the onion and carrot and oil to that skillet to soften/brown on med/low. I might add a clove of crushed garlic towards the end of the veg cooking.
My curry powder lists Tumeric as the second ingredient. I don't seem to have any Tumeric either. I thought I did. OK, I'll just some extra curry (or not). I might use sriacha instead of cayenne.

Pools had not been on the scoresheet since February 26 before Andy Monkhouse ended a 762-minute drought with a 42nd-minute header.
Winger Monkhouse then snaffled a second goal in the 72nd minute to lift Pools off the foot of League One by leapfrogging the Shakers.
Pools could have been relegated if they had lost and had other results gone against them, but instead sit five points adrift of safety with three games left.
"It's very pleasing, not a great match," admitted Hughes. "It was two competitive teams, but it was a must-win game for us and we got off the foot of the table.
"What will happen, will happen and we owe it to our supporters to put pride in the club.
"We tried to play football, conditions weren't great, but we played it properly and I'm delighted to pick up the points - it gives us a little bit of hope.
"We all want to end the season on a high and I want to set a winning culture at this club. The boys are still playing for their livelihoods and we all want to play a part in it."

There seems to be some dispute, perhaps only semantic, about whether people, blind from birth, see visual images in their dreams. The current belief is that they do not, but this is disputed by some researchers.
Three careful sleep laboratory studies (Amadeo & Gomez, 1966; Berger, Olley, & Oswald, 1962; Kerr, Foulkes, & Schmidt, 1982) and at least one rigorous study of home dream reports (Hurovitz, Dunn, Domhoff, & Fiss, 1999) have shown that congenitally blind dreamers and those who became blind in infancy do not have visual imagery in their dreams, whereas those blinded in adolescence or young adulthood often retain visual mental imagery in their waking life and in their dreams. These controlled experiments confirm what has been reported in a number of earlier self-report studies reviewed by Kirtley (1975), who concluded on the basis of his extensive appraisal that individuals blinded before the age of about 5 report no visual imagery in dreams as adults, whereas those blinded after about the age of 7 are likely to retain visual imagery in dreaming.
According to Foulkes (1999), these studies have theoretical implications beyond the issue of blindness because they suggest that the mental imagery necessary for dreaming develops between the ages of 4 and 7. This suggestion fits with his finding that preschool children awakened in the sleep laboratory rarely report dreams and that the reports are bland and static on the few occasions on which they do recall dreams (Foulkes, 1982, 1999). Thus, the findings on blind dreamers add to the support for a cognitive theory of dreaming (Antrobus, 1978, 1991; Foulkes, 1985).

Success starts on the line for Gatlinburg-Pittman football team
It all starts up front for Gatlinburg-Pittman.
With bruising 6-foot-2, 240-pound tailback Michael Muszik healthy again and an offensive line packed with veterans, the Highlanders will be one train that will be tough to slow down.
"With (the line) and Muszik, they're going to have to set the tempo and be the leaders," said head coach Benny Hammonds. "We know we can't count on them every down because people are going to load the box and bring everybody at Muszik, but at the same time with their experience and as many games as they've got combined starting under their belt — I ought to figure that up — they should dominate."
That ground game will be especially important after Highlanders lost playmakers like veteran quarterback Tanner Cox and speedy wide receiver Jeremy Odom to graduation. Hammonds said this won't be an offense that can score quickly but one that can hold the ball and grind teams down.
"We have all five linemen returning, so yeah, I'm pumped up," Muszik said. "They were great last year. Most of them were inexperienced last year. This year they're experienced. I'm excited for (the season)."
Muszik was plagued by a nagging hamstring injury last year but after a strong spring appears as healthy as ever. G-P will count on him to replicate his breakout season from two years ago. He'll be complemented by the smaller (5-5, 140) but speedy Steven Russell in the backfield.
The duo will be taking handoffs from sophomore Albert Werner, who Hammonds said has looked good in preparing for his first season at quarterback. The Highlanders will need Werner to make some plays to take the pressure off Muszik and the line at times, with Blake Ogle, Zayquan Gillespie and highly-praised tight end Christian Moore being likely targets.
They'll all play behind a veteran line that includes Mack Taylor and Andrew Noland at tackles and Gabe Gotshall and David Gauthier at guards. Will McMahon anchors the line at center.
"I remember when I was a freshman, I was a little pudgy guy," said senior lineman Andrew Noland. "I'm still big, a big guy, but I can move a lot faster now. We've all formed together just from playing with each other over the years. We're going to be a really solid unit."
G-P's biggest defensive loss was East Tennessee State's Spencer Brien at linebacker, a player Hammonds said was as steady and dependable as anyone on that side of the ball. Gotshall returns at that position and Hammonds said Garrett Pack, John Thomas, Chase Taylor, Barrett Swift, Carlos Sweeney, Ryan Garza and Chad Ayers should all add to depth at linebacker.
The bigger concern for Hammonds is a young and inexperienced secondary.
"The longer I coach, I think the secondary is as important as anything on your football team," Hammonds said. "Everybody's gone to these spread offenses and throws the football so much, you've got to be strong in your secondary. You're still going to give up some touchdowns because the odds are against you not to but you've got to have a good, strong secondary."
Austin Cline, who also could carry the ball some on offense, will be back in the secondary with Gillespie, Russell, Ogle and Tyreese Draper.
"We have good people back there," Ogle said. "We're young back there and getting used to it. It's like learning new stuff every day in the secondary. ... You just have to know your job and know what you're doing to understand everything back there."
If the defensive backfield can limit those big, dangerous plays it should allow the Highlanders' strong fronts to do plenty of damage.
"Our offensive line should be, and can be, it has the potential to be the strongest part of our team," Hammonds said. "Most of those boys on that line have been two-year starters. They've been around a long time. They're the leaders of the team and know how to operate."

Stonehenge is one of the world's most well-known and mysterious monuments, but you don't have to travel all the way to Salisbury, England in order to see it. As with most other European icons, the United States—more specifically Nebraska—has appropriated one of the continent's most impressive artifacts for its own enjoyment. The small difference here? This Nebraskan Stonehenge is made out of cars.
That's right. If you happen to travel to Alliance, Nebraska, make sure to stop by Carhenge. As the name suggests, the monument is a replica of the famous Stonehenge but formed with discarded automobiles. Even so, this isn't some kind of huckster tourist trap. The entire construction consists of 38 different vehicles, all of which are painfully arranged to form a 100-foot wide circle that emulates the actual arrangement found at Stonehenge. Most impressive of all is that Carhenge is the brainchild of just one man – artist Jim Reinders.

More Information
Twice Betrayed: Read the Express-News' seven month investigation into the issue of sexual assaults in the military.
Senior Airman Christopher Oliver was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison and given a dishonorable discharge after he was convicted of sexual misconduct charges at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
The sentence was hard fall for Oliver, a former elite training instructor, who was busted to the lowest rank, but it could have been worse.
The judge, Col. Donald Eller Jr., found him not guilty of charges that could have landed him in prison for life.
Standing before Eller and his family, Oliver tearfully apologized.
"I just pray and humbly ask that you see that is not the person I really am," he told the judge.
Oliver was the latest airman caught up in a scandal that's ensnared 33 Lackland instructors who have come under scrutiny for illicit relationships with 67 recruits and tech school trainees.
He faced a lengthy charge sheet, but Eller found him not guilty of the most serious offenses — forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sexual contact, as well as obstructing justice.
Eller convicted him of consensual sodomy and wrongful sexual contact, as well as adultery, dereliction of duty and having unprofessional relationships. He may be listed as a sex offender because of the sexual contact conviction.
Prosecutors argued that Oliver used his position and authority to force a recruit identified as Airman 3 to have sexual contact with him up to a dozen times through most of basic training.
The defense said their client, who had pleaded guilty to lesser charges, only engaged in consensual sexual relations. Airman 3 said she was assaulted.
The fear she had, Capt. Christopher Lanks told the judge, was grounded in a conversation with her father, an Army veteran who shared tips on surviving basic training.
"She was scared people would find out what was going on because her dad said the Air Force is a small world," Lanks said.
The spotlight fell as much on Airman 3 as it did Oliver. Another defense attorney, Capt. Patrick Colaw, said she freely engaged in sex and described her as feeling "ashamed, embarrassed, disappointed, regretful."
One chief defense argument was that Airman 3 was essentially two women — so strong and assertive at the start of basic training two years ago that she successfully campaigned to win the toughest job, dorm chief. But later, in court, the defense said she was meek and submissive.
While Airman 3 talked of wearing a "zombie" face after sexual encounters in Oliver's office, Lanks told the judge she often left with a smile on her face, and provided witnesses to prove it.
The witnesses included a woman identified as Airman 2 who had sex with Oliver in his office on a Sunday morning, while other recruits were at church. The flight's first dorm chief until she was replaced, she said Airman 3 often exited Oliver's office smiling.
"I wouldn't trust her," said Airman 2, who was in court as Oliver was sentenced.
Oliver told the judge, his parents and in-laws he was sorry. He didn't apologize to the women listed as his victims.

Overall Experience
More than expected
July 29, 2015
The hotel was more than I expected. Would recommend to anyone traveling in Dallas area.
Lovely, comfortable suite
July 22, 2015
I would definitely recommend Staybridge. I wanted a hotel suite with private rooms but a decent common living area. Staybridge exceeded my expectations. Great staff. Clean, stylish, comfortable rooms. Excellent all around.
Disappointed and Unwelcome
July 21, 2015
The facility seemed nice in the common areas. I always felt safe. The room showed signs of wearing/age.
I did not favor sharing my living quarters with strangers pets.
The trash pick up service came at 3:00 AM and bang, crash, bang crash could be heard very well as experienced by many guests at the hotel. Finally as the truck backed out of the lot... Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Yet when I and my colleges tried top visit at ANY AREA in the hotel we were told to go to our rooms at 10:00 PM.
GREAT service
July 15, 2015
Staff was amazing! The weekday social was more than I could have imagined and allowed my group to hang out and visit. The kitchen in the room allowed us to eat in and made the room value increase. 4 star hotel quality with a value cost. The only complaint I had is that the mattress wasn't comfortable for my husband or myself.

Buy Armour Without Prescription, The news is out. Armour natural, 38 Studios have announced the real title of the long in development Project Copernicus, and it is called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. Armour trusted pharmacy reviews, So just some initial thoughts.
- I'm not taken so much by the name, online buy Armour without a prescription. Armour mg, Kingdoms of Amalur sounds pretty generic to me, but that may just be the result of seeing so many MMORPGs with similar names.
- Speaking of generic, Armour for sale, Order Armour online overnight delivery no prescription, and quoting through Heartless_ of Heartless_Gamer, RA Salvatore says that he has created a Tolkienesque 10, ordering Armour online, Buy cheap Armour no rx, 000-year-long back story: "I think we can say that we are talking about a high fantasy world with multiple races." I tend to agree with Heartless_ on this point. A high fantasy Tolkienesque world, Buy Armour Without Prescription. Why?
- YAHFWLG, is Armour addictive. Generic Armour, (That means Yet Another High Fantasy Warcraft Like Game?) Are we going to see Orcs and Elves yet again. Paladins, where can i order Armour without prescription. Get Armour, Warriors. Mages?
- Generic World of Warcraft clone comes to mind.
- I'm definitely disappointed by this announcement.
Sometimes I feel this way about MMORPG games, my Armour experience. EQ, a success, spawned WoW, a megahit, and suddenly the bad B-Grade copies start popping up, Buy Armour Without Prescription. Order Armour from mexican pharmacy, Now to be fair, we don't have too much detail on Amalur yet, Armour from canada, Armour reviews, and 38 Studios might actually be doing something quite radical with the design of the game. But frankly, this initial announcement doesn't give me much hope that this game will be, as the USA Today article says, a breath of fresh air.
It feels like more of the same.
Update: It looks like I am mistaken and Amalur isn't Project Copernicus after all. It turns out that it's an action RPG that 38 Studios are developing called Project Mercury, which I hadn't heard about before. This other USA Today article gives more details on that. My apologies to 38 Studios. Thanks for the tip Longasc..

Kevin Feige Discusses the Reasoning behind Avengers: Age of Ultron

Kevin Feige finally decided to spill some more details about Avengers: Age of Ultron when he sat down with SFX Magazine. In the interview he discusses the reasoning for their choice of Ultron as the villain, the relationship to the similarly title comic, and the new casting choices for the film.
When choosing an antagonist in a film, you have to realize how many parts of that film will be affected due to the strength of the opposing force and the affect that opposition has on the entire plot and its characters. Joss Whedon strongly pushed for Ultron as the villain thinking that he was the most viable choice for reuniting the time once again. When he presented his idea to Feige, he had found a way to create a great story that adapted the origin of Ultron into the cinematic universe.
For the comic book fans out there, you may be familiar with last year's popular miniseries titled "Age of Ultron" which focused on an alternate timeline where Ultron ruled the Earth. Given that the next Avengers film carries the same title, many have wondered how many similarities would exist between the comic and the film. It turns out that they were in love with the name rather than the story. They couldn't just title the film "Avengers 2," they needed a catchy subtitle to accompany such a big sequel and "Age of Ultron" seemed to fit best.
When it came to casting Ultron, the choice seemed to be a simple one. Due to an introduction between Kevin Feige and James Spader in the past, Feige thought that James Spader belonged in the Avengers universe. Fortunately, Ultron turned out to be the part for Spader.
With the addition of a new villain there comes the addition of two new heroes. Besides the question of casting (which has been answered), many have wondered how and why Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will fit into the story and if there will now be too many heroes to follow. Feige assures that Joss Whedon has found a way to incorporate them into the story while juggling the proper amount of screen time so that it's not distracting. Overall, Feige claims they do hold a purpose and are not just added fluff.
