""I don't get it. From a users point of view - how can you guys at TBP honor this site with an average of 90,8?"
The answer to this question is The Best Porn and all the other review sites that rate
Matt's Models
so highly, review hundreds if not *thousands* of sites. That's their JOB.
They've seen the good, the bad, the rip offs, fraud and everything under the sun. They know they're business. They have an unbiased perspective.
They rate
Matt's Models
comparatively & objectively to the entire scope of adult pay sites on the net.
They don't base their reviews on a handful of sites they might have joined, a technical problem, personal taste, or the temperament of the owner :)

It wasnt.
It was a slow day, and if there ever is a problem, our hosts, servers page/text us wherever we are, no matter what time of day or night. All systems normal yesterday and not a SINGLE complaint from anybody but YOU...who instead of writing support posted your BS remark here publically.
So. It was either operator error (YOU), somewhere between your IP address and US or you're a flat our liar.
Theres a simple way to determine where the problem lies by doing a trace route from your computer. All you have to do is GOOGLE "How to do a trace route? and Im sure you can now sit around all day long looking for a moment my servers are unreachable.
Im just following rule #3 "Reply Rules" of the PU board:
3. Point out any incorrect facts.
and your "facts" are for some reason consistantly wrong.
Im quite sure if I add up all of yours and send to Rick, you wont be posting here any more Chief.

Now you retreat. Like the kid that throws rocks at passers by from a bridge - then runs away.
Last word to you. You've posted little veiled personal attacks and untruths on me and my site for a long time (READ the other recent dudes review if you wanna see how an OBJECTIVE review is worded).
..and I forgot to mention this yesterday.
YOU SAID...(oh you know, just in passing and by the way)
"Ill reference one that was hideous, well was going to look up her name but *YOUR SITE IS DOWN* "
Our site wasnt "down" yesterday or any other day in recent time. (and I already know your response to this so Ill just answer it )
If by some chance because of your SHI**TY equipment, connection, AT&T router had problems etc, YOU REALLY COULDNT reach MattsModels yesterday?, then you could have sent a SUPPORT EMAIL and we could HELP YOU TRACE THE PROBLEM.
Just to let you know, I can PROVE our site wasnt offline yesterday. Telling other users MM is "down" I see as another deliberate attempt to thwart people from joining (I mean they cant very well join if my site is down right Doogie?).
If you make one more false claim (LIBEL) about me and my business on this board, I'll make an effort to have you stopped.
Got that smarty pants? Back to my Bar B Q.

IKnoPorn's Review
I thought I'd comment on this review as well today just to show Im not a poor sport or unreasonable. Although I may return after the 4th of July and point out of couple of things.
This is (IMHO) a very UNBIASED and REASONABLE critique of my site! Actually a GREAT review overall. (maybe TBP should hire you as a pro critic?).
Even though it has some tough "cons" (which I will address later as I said)....and it doesnt seem like the "reviewer" has some personal vendetta against me! WOW!
Please feel to contact me anytime to discuss surfing, beer, guitar, drums (actually I was a pro drummer and now playing again in a few bands!) porn and my sites.

Its pointless to argue with someone like you, even about specific complaints, because so much is BS and you DO believe you are an authority and that the world should be seen as you see it.
You are NOT trying to "help me" when you post erroneous and snide comments about 10 years of my life.
Just one example, the comment about "I don't wanna see somebody's balls". Well guess what?, there's MILLIONS of people who like watching boy/girl porn but you hang it out there in your dismal sarcasm as if it's something that devalues the site. In fact its a BONUS, and if people wanna see some B/G. We have some. Guys like you DONT have to watch it!
You even made a comment about our DVD line with
which is not only insulting to
/ Matts Models, It's factually wrong. There's now THOUSANDS of amateur porn producers in the world (but according to you -
RELUCTANTLY? distributes our videos because there's so few of us? LOL. I guess thats why
renewed our contract? Like I said, factually wrong and funny.
* Maybe now other users can see why I cant spend time defending every ridiculous claim you make *
As far as you being evenly supported in my old Forums...DUDE. Get a grip. See? This is part of your delusional personality that YOU believe YOUR opinion is in the MAJORITY (or apparently HALF) of people that join my site. (just as YOU believe YOU are the reason I closed my Forums LOL). Megalomania?
Understand the success of my site is predicated on 10 years and THOUSANDS of satisfied members. Check out the Alexa ranking of Matts Models. We're in the top 10,000 of all sites in the world. Thats not bad for a PORN PAY SITE run by some little dude. Do you REALLY believe my site is on the verge of "going out of business"? or was that just one of your sarcastic digs at me? Come on dude....answer that question.
Anyway. Happy 4th of July to all. I'm spending it with a bunch of hot models at my Bar B Q. If you are a member of my site (and in Los Angeles) and are interested in coming, send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Later Doogie Howser.

Your credibility as a porn producer or even a fair critic of comparing adult sites is zip. Your opinion is just that, your opinion, and marred by your jealous, hostile NON FACTS.
I took the Forums down in my members area years ago mainly because of SPAM and because I had MEMBERS ARGUING with each other (sound familiar?). I'm sorry your lost your VOICE OF AUTHORITY there :( Are you still mad about that? Frankly I don't need "experts" like you spamming other sites and pissing off other members. If I wanted to start a site like that I'd start a site like PU.
If our members have complaints, we have a help forum and support email. They dont try to make a career out of it like you. (FYI....ALL ADULT SITES HAVE DISGRUNTLED MEMBERS. Ive spoken with the owner of more than one of the top rated sites and they tell me they have to deal with "whiners and moaners" all the time.
I run an "Amateurs Nude Models Pay Site" which is for the thousands of people who enjoy it for what it is. I realized my job is to provide our customers what they have been coming back for every year. It's not for the few dissatisfied who get all up in arms because it doesnt meet THEIR PARTICULAR VISION.
There's only about 6,000 adult websites reviewed by TBP and thousands more on the net. There's a niche & site for EVERYBODY and PLENTY sites you can THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON DUE TO DIRTY TRICKS LIKE LIMITED TRIALS AND OTHER DECEPTIVE PRACTICES. Ive run a solid, honest website since 1999.
Once again, the fact that you keep signing up only to disappoint yourself makes one wonder :)
Here's some happy customers comments and their reasons why:

I suppose they distribute our DVD's and make the Pro Am charts because they suck? lol
and FYI I dont even shoot all the solo videos myself now...we have other great shooters helping out. So I guess they ALL suck too?

Douggie's Comment
Hi Douggie
(Douggie comes on here to try get my goat...and apparently he thinks TBP, PU and his own comments have some effect on the success of adult websites)
Long time, no see. Yeah Im FAR from going out of business and please explain the statement about "someones balls" on my site? That should be entertaining.
Some background on Douggie. Douggie was a member of MattsModels for who knows how long? We had a forum and Douggie would write rediculous comments often. In fact Douggie apparently was a wanna be producer of solo masturbation videos (are you still trying to do that Douggie? Wheres YOUR website so we can all check out your amazing work) and was always telling me what I was doing wrong (Ive shot over 1,000 models masturbating). Douggie is someone who WISHES HE WAS DOING WHAT IVE BEEN DOING FOR 10 YEARS BUT HES NOT (JEALOUS MUCH?) - and hes just miffed I didnt pay enough attention to him. So he posts on boards like mine, this and others im sure. Yea and your right Douggie, Im NOT interested in your "opinion" and nobody else on this board should give you any weight either.

You keep dumbfounding me (Thats why you this dialog should be between the user and the site admin - the ultimate RESULT, RESOLVE or NON-RESOLVE could then be posted here as a valid user experience - support response included).
A vague explanation about the nav. "Click through the pictures" is a problem? We have 20 thumbs per page. You can either click the pic to get to the next pic OR use the nav arrows back and forth OR you can download the entire set as a ZIP file - What am I missing here?
As far as naming schemes, download managers, accelerators - I'll let Ryan handle that one.
Thousands of people browse this site every day, and the members area is never not active; "pages and links not loading, files downloading to a 0 file size" etc are complaints I NEVER hear.
SO thats why I would LOVE to connect you with Ryan (R
) and have him run through the issues with you.

Thanks for removing the discount issue.
Ok so yes I personally replied to your first support email the SAME DAY. However I needed more info from you. So I wrote you, hoping to start a dialog to help US figure out what happened so we could fix the problem or get you a refund of the discount.
You replied in the evening after I was gone for the day and the following day (shooting). At that point a support issue is handled either by Ryan or Mica Rae depending on issue and time. I APOLOGIZE if someone didnt get back to you after I replied to you. Fact is, we dont leave people hanging on purpose, yes there could be a delay, there could be email problems etc, but you went on here and complained about something that I was obviously TRYING to help you with and which was ultimately not a technical problem on our end.
In the interest of not turning this thread into a drama fest let me first state:
This issue and several others you mention here are problems that could be and should be handled privately between website and customer. With that said we'd be more than happy to refund the difference of the discount if you did not receive it. For refund - please email me.
On this issue:
- Yeah, the navigation's bad - especially for such a well-known site
I would appreciate you publically stating WHY it's bad, because we've been working on the nav and making adjustments. Specific feedback helps us with future adjustments.
ALL of the following issues are USER RELATED problems, not problems of the site.
- Server won't allow you to resume a broken download
- Thumbnails/pictures and video links not loading at times - have to refresh page, somtimes more than once
- Some videos download to 0 file size the first (sometimes second and third) time
- Have to refresh pages quite often to get thumbnails and picture/video links to load
We have a MEMBERS TOOL MENU with CONTACT SUPPORT and HELP DESK with answers to common support problems to help members quickly fix certain issues. If the Help Desk doesnt help, then members are encouraged to use the CONTACT SUPPORT Form.
I dont see a support email from you on any of these items - yet I assure you, we could help you with them.

One thing I dont do is pursue "red herrings" and I never lie.
So as long as we are both being completely honest - then I think we'll have a meaningful dialog which others might actually be able to seperate fact from fiction and benefit from.
I always address complaints and as mentioned in another response on here, we've even made changes to the site from suggestions by users. I also TRY and personally handle as many support emails as I can. If I can't do it - we have Mica Rae doing it.
Im going to address your response and first complaint as directly and best as I can:
Since we're being honest Ive had only ONE PERSON in recent history with NOT SEEING TBP discount problem. It was last week, Thursday, June 14, 2007 and I PERSONALLY REPLIED - THE SAME DAY.
Did I reply to you the same day? Arent you the same person who emailed me about this problem on June 14th and then went on here the same day to write a review?
You said: "as someone other than you took the time to explain" Are you implying I wasnt responsive to your support problem?
Lets start there.

RagingBuddhist's Review
yeah as somebody pointed out to this guy already, The Best Porn discount exists and has for over a year....we get signups at TBP rate EVERYDAY.
So that assertion is FALSE, NOT FACTUAL.
His problems with
Matt's Models
seem to be either bias or user related.
Also comparing
Matt's Models
to "ifeelmyself" (a newer and very DIFFERENT type of site) and giving it a "90" makes his adult site experiences seem limited?
The experienced porn critics at The Best Porn gave "
" a 79.6.

mudman's Review
This is Matt from
Matt's Models
This review is so far off base I can't see how it would be of any value to anyone looking to accurately research adult sites.I also felt it more of a personal attack than an informed review. Here's my response to some of his nebulous claims below:
My reputation is "questionable"? What does that mean or imply? My reputation in the adult industry is immpeccable. I spent 10 years building it. It's only validated by the success of my site, my members, my reputation with the 1,500 models I've worked with, the awards my site has won and the deals I have struck with other reputable companies for producing some of the best Amateur content on the net.
Suggesting our photos were scanned from magazines is a statement I've never heard before and implies that we infringe copyrights of other photographers.
All of my material is 100% exclusive and has always been shot by us. I just looked at the 2 latest photos updates and they are 1067 x 1600 pixels and clear as daylight - unless you have a vision problem.
You CAN find many (not all) our models on other sites, but we are often in the first batch of sites to shoot U.S. models, if not the first - have been since 1999.
We take all valid complaints into consideration as we are always trying to better
Matt's Models
Example: "only 4 thumbs per photo gallery". In fact we had 2 options for members (4 and 20). However the 20 thumbs gallery view was an alternate - some people were missing the 20 thumbs option. As of this week, we changed the default view to the 20 thumbs view.
I felt this reviewer took liberties with the original "terms & conditions" of Porn Users. For example: Do not give "general opinions and little or no reasons to justify them."
Mudman does exactly this. He makes blanket, unclear statements with no evidence, no examples, no reasons, no proof.
How is that useful to potential members?

Have you ever lost your car in the parking lot? Do you live in fear of forgetting to lock it? Does starting it from inside the house on a cold winter's morning sound like a magnificent start to the day? The SmartStart app can do all of this with a push of a button on your mobile phone.
SmartStart is an app that connects your car to the cloud. It's a component of a system offered by Directed – one of the biggest car alarm and remote starter manufacturers in North America.
To use most of the SmartStart system's features you'll need the hardware installed in your vehicle (called Viper SmartStart) and a subscription to a Directed service plan. But, the company offers a free SmartStart app that you can use to operate many of the system's features without the equipment. Some like SmartPark (car locator) and Parking Meter (tells you when it's time to refill the parking meter) don't require the hardware.
The main purpose of SmartStart is to remotely lock, unlock and start your car. It will send you texts whenever there is activity to report – like if multiple people use the car you'll get notified when anyone starts it. If you have the hardware that can operate GPS, you'll even be able to tell where the car is going. You can also control multiple vehicles and assign more than one user to control a vehicle.
Right now, the only app version that is fully integrated with the Viper SmartStart system is an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 running on iOS 6. With the Siri function you can just say "SmartStart" and the app will open. You can preset a defined command, so when Siri launches the app, the car will automatically start and the doors can be set to lock or unlock. The app also brings in controls for SMS and email notifications.
SmartStart app versions are available for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.

The popular design of the Stradivarius Series is combined with the #43 taper bell that has a slower taper to produce a brighter sound that is more brilliant and open than the standard #37 taper. The 180S43 also features a #25 standard leadpipe that offers some resistance that is effective in centering tone production. These two features combine to produce a trumpet that is well suited for jazz.

This instrument is truly lovely! The tone is very beautiful and clear in quality. It sometimes has a sharp sound, but it is never crass sounding. I love this trumpet!

Comments about Bach 180S43 Stradivarius Series Bb Trumpet:
Very solid horn. Very responsive, valves lightning fast (using Hetman's synthetic), slots very well in high registers and keeps good tone. Nice change in tone using deep cup MPs (full, rich tone) and shallower MPs (bright, edgy sound).
Definitely sad to read other review. Suggest customers look past the problems of a shipping/delivery company and focus on the product and results. No regrets, great horn.
Comments about Bach 180S43 Stradivarius Series Bb Trumpet:
When I got it yesterday and got it out of the box i noticed there was a knick in the third valve.When i tried to move it.... It was jammed. The pearl button on the second valve had a bit taken out of it. and the thing that keeps the third vavle from coming of got stuck when i tried to move it. It also had minor scratches. Now i have to send it back to get another one.

For all its brand recognition and funding power, Microsoft has not seen a high adoption rate of its mobile software in the past. However, this year looks to be a new chapter in the company's move to diversify its end point offerings from traditional PCs, notebooks, MacBooks, smartphones and tablets. This is being accomplished with partnering with companies like Nokia and BlueStack that will widen their customer base and mobile device sales.
Another recent move to accomplish this was bringing OneNote to Apple's iOS and Android users will have the cloud-synced note-taking app at their disposal as well. Leveraging this popular organizational tool, Microsoft is spreading its net far by including Apple and Android. And, multi-mobile OS platform availability highlights the changing landscape of customers wanting the device, apps, and mobile OS of their choice which explains the increased popularity of unlocked smartphones.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Those with Android 2.3 or above can try out the app with 500 notes for free before having to shell out $4.99 to purchase the full version. With established competition like Evernote, Springpad and the up and coming Catch Notes, OneNote is a solid alternative where end users can edit tables synced from the desktop app and create to-do lists. Other features like photo notes, bulleted lists, check boxes and highlights make for a great experience even though custom tables cannot be made and synced.
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
Microsoft looks to be making its move with savvy and has a multi-pronged approach. So, we have yet to see what the Mobile World Congress will bring to continue this trend whether it is with accessories or other technology pairings. Whatever is brought to the table, we look forward to it!

Concerning the Ground Zero Mosque, the Cordoba Corporation, Robert Leslie Deak, Moshira Soliman, and Feisal Abdul Rauf, the following comment rebutted my story:
It seems like so many are ready to crucify this Imam based on claims made by a questionable source without a shred of proof. This story caught my eye and a simple internet search showed that Robert Leslie Deak (who filed the lawsuit against the Imam) is himself the subject of a lawsuit in DC that has been going on for more than a year. That lawsuit claims that Deak stole $1.5m from the Imam's charity. The judge in the DC case refused to dismiss the fraud and unjust enrichment claims against Deak and his wife because there were sufficient facts to support the claims.
Deak's complaint against Feisal does not really have much by way of specific facts vs. broad sweeping allegations. It sure seems like Deak filed his suit in NY in retaliation and to throw everyone off his scent (or stench) in the DC case. Some really crappy reporting going on in this story.
Stench? Scent? I think erecting a mosque two blocks from the WTC reeks too.

|Heritage Festival gets spooky
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 08 June 2007 05:44
The 2007 Wilkes Heritage Festival hits the High Country Saturday.It's a win-win situation, Heritage Museum curator Jenn Pena says. There's something for everyone, especially the history lover.
Along with food, crafts and music, visitors can pay a small fee for a spooky surprise. A candlelit ghost tour hits the streets at 7:30 for a small fee. Wilkes is a haunting place, and destinations like the Old Smithey Hotel are sure to make you shiver. At least, that's one of Penya's favorite haunted locales. She says eerie happenings at the hotel have actually been documented. Apparently Mrs. Smithey liked things a certain way. When people leave a room occasionally the dinner tables are reset to her liking upon their return.
The festival starts at 2:00.

Have you ever tried to research existing patents? It is a crazy and convoluted process that is often counterintuitive. For example, there are companies that purchase patents as a means of earning revenue through lawsuits instead of for developing and promoting new technology. They are called Patent Trolls. If you find a new way to make toast? Patent it! Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! the latest innovative protection solutions allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
This may be the route Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer, HTC, may take after Monday's ruling by the United Stated International Trade Commission which found HTC in violation of Apple patents. XMI speakersdeliver uncompromised sound quality and a revolutionary design accentuating today's interactive lifestyle. In addition, earpieces and headsets combine sophisticated style and precision engineering that deliver brilliant sound for your total listening pleasure.
Right now, a ban on the manufacturer's smartphones that incorporate the offending technology will go into effect April of next year. This ban could mean seriously bad news for their US sales. Still waiting to hear which smartphone and tablet devices will be affected and what their strategy to sidestep this checkmate will be.
Apple's late CEO, Steve Jobs, initiated this legal flurry in March of 2010 with a filing of 10 complaints against HTC for patent infringement. The verdicts have so far been mainly in Apple's favor and validate Jobs' comment at the time: "We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We've decided to do something about it." Get powered up for work, life and play easily and conveniently with desktop chargers , wall chargers and car chargers. Get all the power and energy you need for the mobile lifestyle.
For some more clarity in a mutli-level maze of lawsuits between Apple and HTC, patent expert Florian Muller of FOSS Patents shed some light on the technology in question and the injunction applied to it. According to Muller, the injunction will affect handsets that use "data tapping." This is a feature that users have come to expect in their smartphones regardless of manufacturer, carrier, or operating system. Google will have to use some creative thinking to work around patent infringement to avoid a negative impact on sales when the ban is put in place.

How They Wear Boyish Suits
- 1 of 22
Available in a variety of silhouettes, fabrics, prints and colors, there is a suit for every body and every occasion. As these ladies show, you can wear a suit to an awards ceremony, a book launch, or just for running around town by following these basic rules.
- 2 of 22
Ashley Owen
Owen paired her oversized Hvrminn oxblood suit with a crisp white button-down, Ray-Ban glasses and penny loafers. To keep the look fresh, she forgoes hair and makeup, resulting in an insouciant, minimalistic look.

Alexa Chung
To present Christopher Kane with his Fashion Star award during the 30th Annual Night of Stars event last month, Chung donned a jewel-accented, cropped suit from his S/S 14 collection. By scrunching the sleeves, wearing hefty sandals, and keeping her signature hair and makeup unchanged, Chung wears the look with the same ease as a pair of denim cutoffs.
- 4 of 22
Caroline de Maigret
En route to the Haider Ackermann S/S 14 show, de Maigret opted for a collarless olive green suit and simple black accessories. Note how the blouse does not have a collar or a high neck? All the better for appreciating the jacket's neckline.

Zosia Mamet
Mamet wore a Mulberry Emerald Jacquard Suit for a VH1 concert in New York recently. Her messy bun and simple camisole prevented the look from feeling stuffy. When wearing a darker suit like this for evening, an orangey-red lip really pops.

The street style maestro looked ready for business in a Marc Jacobs Plaid Blazer and matching Trousers during Fashion Month. The metallic platform sandals, cat-eye sunglasses, and loose hair provide a feminine counterpoint to the menswear print.

The effortless appeal of this suit is based in its slouchy fit, especially styled with a cross-body bag and simple sandals. When wearing an oversized silhouette like these pants, make sure to keep your accessories streamlined.

Lagunitas Beer Dinner: BOOGIE NIGHTS
|Paul Thomas Anderson
|Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham, Don Cheadle, William H. Macy, Don Cheadle
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Paul Thomas Anderson's BOOGIE NIGHTS is a movie that deserves to be seen again on the big screen. There are certain tones, nuances, and yes, characters' bathing suit areas in the film that warrant being viewed in a bigger than life format. We've worked with the fine folks at Lagunitas Brewing Company on a special beer dinner that will showcase their great portfolio of top-notch beers. Alamo Executive Chef John Bullington has crafted a gourmet food menu that not only accentuates each beer's unique style but also Dirk Diggler giant talent. It's time to see Don Cheadle in western wear, Burt Reynolds as a porn director, Heather Graham on roller-skates, and everyone else in amazing steadicam shots from the masterful eye of P.T. Anderson. Lagunitas hails from California, which happens to be where Marky Mark's character finds fame in this risqué flick, but the brewers assure us that there is much less disco, drugs, and sex in the Golden State than the film would have us believe. This is an Alamo beer dinner not to be missed! Check out the menu below! (John Gross)

The Jed Wells Headshot Project: The End
This weekend my cousin and photographer Jed
Wells came over with his sweet brood to manger Slab and celebrate our adventure of shooting twelve head shots in twelve months! Chup interviewed us on camera, asking us the obvious question WHY ON EARTH DO YOU NEED TWELVE HEAD SHOTS IN ONE YEAR? Also we do a little behind the scenes narrative of each month's shot and declare our favorites. There are a couple cameos as well--including our adorable little accoutrements (in the form of babies, I mean) Erin and George.
Tomorrow I will post our final photo of the feat. Please dears, having this knowledge I hope you can sleep tonight.
Thanks Jed, you are a true artist. I am a lucky subject. Also, thanks for helping me like my face.

This is great! I was living my life through your shoes in this video! You are doing an interview, the baby starts to fuss, you bounce and sway and answer questions, Chup steps in and you continue to bounce and sway for a while after he takes the baby. My life. I love it!

- Sparcam said...

My favorite headshot of you is April. It is simple, uncontrived, and natural. It is how I imagine you look in real life, on a regular basis...like a dedicated, hardworking, devout Mother. There is nothing prettier than that
- February 06, 2012

- February 06, 2012
- The Aviles Six Pack said...
I personally loved the picture with the rain behind you, it looks so magical... and the controversial picture with your baby, I don't think people understand the sacredness and holiness it takes to create a new life. It was an absolutely gorgeous tribute to motherhood. Good job to both of you! :)

Well Courtney, another great vlog!! I so enjoyed your interaction with Jed...and the fam included. I had seen your head shots, but didn't know what they were all about and now I do. Thanks for sharing. I, too, love May...my birthday month, but such a gorgeous picture. Your eyes are a wonderful shade of blue. I, again, don't understand people that go on a rant about what others enjoy. November, definitely not offensive to me...just a sweet moment of serenity. Kudos to Jed and his wonderful talent.

DETROIT (DETROIT FREE PRESS) -- Workers at an auto collision shop were stunned Tuesday by a visitor with four legs instead of four wheels.
"All of a sudden I'm looking out, and a big sheep is running through the door," said Nortown Collision owner Eugene Oleszko. "He's running in between the cars and knocking things over."
Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody said the roughly 4-foot long, 3-foot tall sheep with a numbered tag in its ear and a purple paint stripe down its back, was seen running on Eight Mile Road before it entered the shop. It's unclear how it got loose or where it came from, he said.
"It did have the tagging and branding that would suggest that the animal is properly licensed and sold to a butcher or slaughterhouse," he said.
Eugene Oleszko said shortly after the sheep ran inside, a man came into the shop and said he was driving on Eight Mile when he spotted the animal. Two police officers who had been following it also came into the shop, said Eugene Oleszko's grandson, manager Allen Oleszko.
Allen Oleszko said a shop worker and the man were able to corner the animal. They put a long rope around its neck and tied it to a car hoist.
The sheep then tried to escape through a window made of safety glass in a bay door that had been closed.
"He takes off for this window in the door. He hit it with his front legs, and hit it with his head. Then it just stood there," Eugene Oleszko said.
Workers gave the sheep a bucket of water and dog food.
"In the meantime, it was crying like a baby," Eugene Oleszko said.
Animal control workers picked up the sheep and took it to the city's animal control center, Woody said. He said officers are trying to find its owner so it can be returned. Officials have not discussed what will happen if they can't locate the owner, he said.
Eugene Oleszko said he hopes the sheep gets a second chance.
"It went so long trying to get away from being slaughtered," he said. "They should just give him to a petting zoo."

Day 43.
--2 cups heavy cream
Push it down with your hand if it starts to float up.
Take the dish back out. If you have separate dessert ramekins, do the same thing after nestling them all inside.
Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh man... *drools* I LOVE crème brûlée too :-) I'm definitely going to try this!!!
That's my favorite dessert too and I can't believe you made it in the crockpot!! I'll definitely be trying that one.
I will HAVE to try this one. Except no way am I going to put it under the broiler to melt the sugar--I live for any excuse to pull out my little hand flame and torch away :)! Guess that's the pyro in me!
ah, Jennifer, if I had one of those cute little torches, I totally would have used it. I always wanted one!
Wow, cool blog! Thanks for all the great recipes. I found you through my friend Jerrie at "A Little Bit of This and That". I'm adding you to my fave foodie blogs. Wahooo.
I can't believe you made creme brulee in the crockpot!
Oh what a find and what a treat, this is my favorite treats as well!
Just the title and the picture made my day! And to think I had plans for a light lunch today..
Love your recipes! I'm definitely going to try this one.
creme brulee is my favorite dessert also...and really you have got to stop...oh this looks so good!
WOW. I am drooling over this one.
Hahaha! I can't believe you made a whole crock pot of creme brulee. I've never seen anything like it! That's awesome!
Crème Brûlée is my favorite dessert! I have never thought it could made in the crockpot - I cannot wait to try this.
I made this yesterday - you can see my post about it here: http://frenchyfinds.blogspot.com/2008/02/crme-brule.html
Heavenly! Thanks for the recipe!
I, like you, am a creme brulee fiend that scours menus for it's existence. I could eat all of this myself, and just not tell my family it was ever at our home *weg*
Oh that sounds amazing! Mine was busy all day today with a roast of beef and is doing duty all day again tomorrow with beef barley soup. I can't wait! I've got the 12 grain sourdough loaf at the ready.
What size is the container you used inside the crockpot?
I just want to thank you for this. I"m basically speechless. And, drooling.
Where do I even begin... I am so in love with this! It was so easy to make, and it is to DIE FOR. Don't slip broiling the sugar (and raw sugar makes a difference) because it really makes it. Thank you for another great recipe!
L-O-V-E Creme Brulee! Must. Try. This. Soon.
I made this last night. OMG. Sooooo good! I am thinking of making this as a second dessert for my MIL's b-day (she requested coconut cake, which many of us don't really like.)
Steph, I am pretty sure that once you have made creme brulee in the crock pot, the only thing left is taking over the world. Which you should totally do.
Absolutely amazing taste and so easy to whip up. Made it for my in-laws tonight and they couldn't stop saying how good it was. Thanks for the recipe!
Made it in 4 ramekins and it took about 1hr 45min on high for them to set but still be jiggly.
I made this today and it was unbelievably good. Many thanks for the recipe. It's a winner.
I have done this with regular custard for a long time. 2 cups skim milk, 3 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla, and 1/3 cup of sugar. I sprinkle nutmeg on top before baking. I put it in a quart bowl, with water in the crock, and cover it with foil. I use canning jar rings to keep it up off the bottom. It takes about 2 hours on high. More recently, I've had a nonstick double boiler thing that I put on top with the custard in, and put the crockpot lid on the double boiler. It is nordic ware, and it works great. Wouldn't be good with little kids in the house, though for this, it gets hot.
Hi! I made this for my parents' anniversary a little while ago. Well, I couldn't find a baking dish to fit my 4-qt oval crock, so I baked it in the oven (I know, shame!). But! I used your recipe - halving vanilla because mine is from Madagascar and apparently very strong - and it turned out AMAZING. I had much better luck with a hand-held torch than my broiler (I think because my apartment broiler doesn't actually broil, but bake....).
Also, I talked about it so much to my coworkers, my course coordinator/boss asked me for the recipe to make for her family!
Best to you,
My husband has a similar love for creme brulee, and yesterday was my first time attempting to make it, using THIS recipe. He LOVED it! I can't believe how easy and tasty this was! Thank you SOOOO much!
I got your book as a gift, and I immediately sat down and marked all the recipes I HAD to make right away. There were a LOT. :)
This worked perfectly! I used little ramekins, and it took an hour and 45 minutes, just as a previous poster said. Thanks so much for sharing! I've loved all of your recipes so far...and I've tried a few! Ha, ha.
you are my new best friend on the internet. First I find your blog (2 years after you started-grad school had me searching for academic articles for way to long!) looking for a 20 garlic chicken recipe, and now I find creme brulee! I am loving the site and plan on checking in daily from now on! Thank you!
I think I will have to buy a dish to place into my crock just to make this delectable delight!
Hi Steph!
I just made little minis...and they took just as long :) Thanks for the idea!
This stuff is ADDICTING! Oh, man...I never should have tried it. I think I may like it even better than chocolate, and that is saying something.
Oh, and I didn't try it, but it occurs to me that my little heat tool for melting embossing powder might be a tad easier to use than the propane torch my brother-in-law pulled out to melt the sugar on top, lol.
Has anyone tried substituting a lower fat milk for the heavy cream? I know it won't be as rich and creamy, but would it cook the same way?
Great recipe and so easy. Here's a tip that might help somebody. Use a turkey baster to fill and remove water from the crockpot.
SHUT. UP. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! I'm going to gain a billion pounds and love every second of it!!! :o)
OMG! I love Creme Brulee. My absolute favourte dessert. I always seems so complicated but your recipe look amazingly easy. Guess what I'm making tonight!! :) Thanks for the recipe.
It was so yummy thanks for the recipe. I had a little problem though. The condensation dripped into my brule and made it a little "juicy" around the edges. I just wicked it away with a paper towel. Still delicious, just wondering if you or any of the readers have a solution or have run into this problem. More of a cosmetic detail vs. a taste thing. Thanks for the recipe. Your book is seriously rocking my world! THANK YOU!
I just tried this... people are taking third helpings! Mmmmmm, thanks!!!
Oh my gooooodness! I realize you posted this MIRACLE of a recipe 4 years ago!! BUT ... i am absolutely insanely excited to try this! I also frantically search for creme brulee at every restaurant i visit...and THIS, im sure will blow my mind-socks!! And the slow-cooker is my absolute favorite appliance!! I CANT WAIT
That is too funny! I saw the picture for Creme Brulee and said out loud "Oh no you didn't!" (All my children looked at me funny because I was sitting in the middle of my kitchen talking to my computer.) Then scrolled down to read your first words. "Oh, yes I did" I cracked up! Great minds....I am trying this ASAP! THANKS a billion!
Pamela at www.HomeShalom.blogspot.com
p.s. I don't know if anyone mentioned this in your comments or not - but do you know how they get that crispy crust in resturants? They use a blow torch and just run it alone the top instead of putting it in the oven...at least they did in the resturant I worked in San Francisco. :-)
Add me to your list of estactic samplers! I made this in individual ramekins for my husband on Valentine's Day. I've made creme brulee before, but not like this (in his word)....perfection! The biggest problem I had with the brulees? Not large enough ramekins, and the ramekins were hard to put in and lift out. I'll add that the timing for the individual ramekins, is spot on at 1 hr. 45 min., because they thicken a bit in the refrigerator. I'm buying new ramekins for these worthy creme brulees. Merci beaucoup!!!
This looks unbelievable…my mouth is watering
Oh boy I just can't wait to try this.... it sounds amazing...
I noticed a few people here asking about using skim milk or low fat milk. WHY would anyone want to continue to buy into that low-fat, no-fat BS doled out to us? Besides how can creme brulee be creme brulee - without the creme?!! It's just nutz. Some day people will wake up and smell the - well, cream! Even cardiologists (some of them) are starting to fess up to the fact that all this low-fat, no-fat nonsense was really bad for people. No more eating a diet of cardboard foods - eat real fats (cream, butter, lard, bacon grease from pastured animals). Those are the real health foods.
Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

Comments about Aquabound Paddles Shred Fiberglass Whitewater Paddle (1-Piece):
This paddle is great for beginers who can't afford top of the line. You can really get some power to the water. The blade material seems a little soft and will get chewed up in really rocky stuff, however it keeps it from being brittel as well. All and all very good whitewater paddle for beginers who don't know exactly what style paddle they're going to need.

The fashion industry's embracing vivid color right now--whether that's via neon and neutrals or bubblegum stripes or bright bags--so it's no wonder that the beauty world's smitten with these shades anew too. This season we've noted an astonishing number of stunningly pigmented makeup products on the market, ranging from the hottest pinks to electric blues. Since these items can create memorable, runway-inspired looks and will spruce up your spring and summer beauty routines, we've gathered a group of the best bright essentials for your consideration. Whether you want to try the shocking pink lip look seen at Jil Sander, go for chartreuse shadow in the spirit of L'Wren Scott's show, or execute the beauty equivalent of color-blocking, per the Loewe runway, we've got all the must-buy products you need to amplify your makeup bag!
H.Wood.Beauty Semi-Matte Lipstick ($20) in Jess
If you're ready to take the plunge into colorful products, but are a little nervous about intensity levels, definitely check out this new lipstick from H.Wood.Beauty. It's relatively sheer, so you won't get a full-on opaque lip look, plus the color is moderately bright, so it's very wearable! The lipstick also has a lovely scent--vanilla and caramel--which is definitely an added bonus.
Too Faced Glamour Gloss ($19) in Chihuahua Bite
Not everyone is a lipstick lover, so for those of you who prefer a gloss, we'd like to suggest this beautiful strawberry shade from Too Faced. In addition to plumping your lips--gently--this new hue is a gorgeous hot pink that is sure to look good on most skin tones! Wear it alone or over another bold shade, it's gorgeous no matter what!
Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream ($22) in #7 Fuchsia
Attention, daring readers: we've got fantastic fuchsia product for you! In addition to being known for its longevity--a warm-weather beauty necessity--this multitasking cream is very versatile, and works on both your lips and cheeks! We recommend wearing it on an otherwise bare face, so that the vivid hue can really be in the spotlight.
Dior Vernis Electric Tropics Nail Duo ($26) in Paradise/558
Whether you're a runway-beauty junky or simply like bright polish, you're going to love Dior's newest nail polish colors. Available in Paradise (neon pink) or Aloha (vibrant orange, used in the S/S 11 show!), these lacquers come with an ultra-shiny topcoat that gives your nails a mirror-like look.
Revlon Moon Drops Cream Lipstick ($9) in Orange Flip and Hot Coral
We would be remiss in our bright beauty coverage if we didn't include two noteworthy lipsticks from Revlon. The shades are Orange Flip (a rich red-orange) and Hot Coral (which is a pinky coral), and they are extraordinary. Richly pigmented and vibrant, these crème lipsticks offer the perfect way to dip into this trend without a major financial commitment! Thrifty and terrific--just as we'd expect from Revlon!
Givenchy Vernis Please! Nail Lacquer ($16.50) in 175 Acid Orange
Of all the many polishes that were called in for this story, this petite bottle got the biggest reaction from your Who What Wear editors. Perhaps that's because it's an in-your-face orange that is perfect for a pedicure. Speaking of which, we think Acid Orange-polished toes would look very chic with a pair of contrasting, brightly hued sandals--no?
Topshop Blush ($12) in Neon Rose
While just about everything that comes from Topshop is amazing, their Neon Rose blush definitely occupies one of the top spots on our beauty list. While it is decidedly affordable, this cheeky product is definitely worth every dollar. That's because the cream-to-powder blush is concentrated, yet extremely lightweight, so a little bit truly goes a long way!
MAC Pro Longwear Lip Crème ($16) in Good To Go
If you're the sort of girl who loves her vivid MAC lipsticks--like Lady Danger and Morange--but are looking for something with a little more staying power, you have to check out this office favorite. The neon orange (with a hint of pink) lipstick is a knockout color and it stays on for ages, making it the ideal option for a GNO!
Nars Soft Touch Shadow Pencil ($24) in Celebrate
If you're the minimalist type, electric-bright beauty products may not exactly be your forte. Happily, this Soft Touch Shadow Pencil from NARS will allow you to test the borders of your comfort zone in style. The highly pigmented, crease-resistant pencil is incredibly easy to use (it's delightfully creamy) and the parrot green hue is bold, without being annoyingly so. While we plan on blending it all over our lids and along our lash lines, you could also use it over your favorite neutral liner to add a subtler pop of color!
Illamasqua Nail Varnish ($14) in Radium
At first glance, this lime polish might remind you of the Grinch, but we think it's just the sort of offbeat color worth trying this season. Made by the fearless color gurus at Illamasqua, this polish has a quick-dry formula and a hint of shimmer, making it an excellent option for vacation touch-ups!
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour ($25) in Mimosa
Every few months, Chanel releases yet another sure-to-sell-out nail polish color, and right now the hue of choice is the sunny Mimosa. While lots of other brands are releasing equally cheerful yellow polishes, why not go with the brand that started the trend?
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner ($23) in #4 Diamond Lagoon Green
When it comes to eye makeup, we're always looking for a product that has real staying power and keep us looking amazing from day until night. Thankfully, the glamorous team at Make Up For Ever has tackled this issue and created Aqua Liner--the brand's new addition to their award-winning Aqua collection. The 100% waterproof formula comes in 15 intense shades and comes with a specialized foam tip brush that's very cat-eye liner friendly!
MAC Chromaline Eye Liner ($17.50) in Landscape Green
Every time we wear this waterproof gel/cream liner from MAC, someone stops us to inquire about the stunning shade. It's the most incredible vivid green and makes all other makeup seem unnecessary. Wear it to punch up an all-white or basic black ensemble or with a tonally harmonious look, either way, you'll be glad to have this product on hand--we promise.
Yves Saint Laurent Summer Collection Eyeshadow Duo ($41) in Scorch Yellow and Blist Blue
There is something so wildly chic about this vivid eye shadow duo from Yves Saint Laurent--plus, it just looks like a tiny piece of art. The shadows are equally impressive on the lid too, as these two opposing colors actually work supremely well together! You could use them to create a '70s-inspired eye or something more tropical and exotic; either way, your makeup kit will look all the better for having this palette in it!
L'Oreal HIP Bright Duos Shadow ($8) in Showy 224
When it comes to colorful eye shadow, we tend to save up for pricier iterations because their pigments and colors are often superior. That said, L'Oreal's HIP Bright Duo Shadows are genuinely excellent products and are available in a range of noteworthy shades, like the Showy duo. The deep aqua and bright navy shadows go on just as they appear, plus they're very affordable, making this a guilt-free purchase! --with Kameron Simpson

The Vans Men's Hi-Standard Snowboard Boot illustrates that excellent comfort and customized fit don't necessarily require paying steep prices. This boot features a medium-soft flex, ideal for beginners and seasoned shredders who enjoy sampling everything the mountain has to offer.
A traditional lacing system keeps this boot supportive, and an instep lace lock out allows both the lower and upper zones to be independently tightened. A heat-moldable TriFit-X liner gives nailed-in heel hold and the cushy feel of soft interior cushioning foam. A V2 dual-density EVA footbed supports and cushions your riding experience with high-rebound impact relief pads at both the forefoot and heel. The ClassicLite outsole has an oversized inverted waffle tread for superior traction, and it features a special rubber compound in high wear areas for more durability and better wear.

I've heard from a review site that these boots do not work with over-the-toe bindings... It said that the toe gets crushed when you try to tighten the toe strap. I really want the style and comfort of these boots though--does anyone have experience with the boots working/not working with over-the-toe bindings?
Adam Saucedo, Gearhead
Hey Skynyrd
Im surprised to hear that! The person who posted the review saying they don't work most likely didn't have the correct size binding or didn't have the binding straps set to the correct length. I've worn Vans boots for a couple seasons and paired them up with Burton Cobra Sharks which uses the toe straps and they worked great for me. Never had any issues.
Good, Durable Boots
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These boots fit well enough, and are as close as their regular shoes in fit. Fair warning that they may need a bit of breaking in, as the ankle guard might not fit to your foot from the start
Old trusty
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the second pair of Hi Standards for me. I loved the first pair but the lace lugs broke while I was riding my sled. The new pair has different lugs that look and feel far more bomber.
I hate stiff boots and these can start out a bit stiff. However, when they break in, they are like wearing a skate shoe. I can hike, tour, drive, or dance in these things without feeling like robocop. I hate breaking in new boots, so I cheated and put my old liners in the new shell. Feels like my old boots!
As far as warmth goes, no issue to date, and I have quite a few days in these things.
Save yourself some money and try a pair. As long as Vans make the Hi Standard I will continue to buy them.
How do the boots fit? Are they a little...
How do the boots fit? Are they a little tight? I wear a 10.5 and am not sure if I should get an 11 or not
Hey Reno,
These boots fit pretty true to size. I would stick with ordering the same size as your street-shoe size. A 10.5 should work great.
If the boots don't fit properly, is there...
If the boots don't fit properly, is there a way to return for a new size?
Jared Downs, Gearhead
If you find that the boots do not fit to your liking, go ahead and contact customer service and speak with one of us and we'll do our best to help get you the right boots.
Call us at 800.409.4502

Gabe B, Gearhead
Best all-around boot? Yup.
After hearing all sorts of hype about Vans boots, and seeing pro and semi-pro riders rocking the High Standards, I decided to give them a shot. Far exceeded my expectations. For $180, there's nothing better. I Use them from the peak of Snowbird to the Terrain parks at Brighton. And quality is superb. I'm really diggin' the TriFitX Liner, it helps keep your feet snug, and the diamond lace hooks keep the laces from loosening. Pick em up and you'll feel me.
How do the boots fit? Do you think I would have to go up a half size? Cause I wear a 10.5 and I'm not sure if I should get an 11 or not
Gabe B, Gearhead
They are true to size, I wear a 10.5 in Vans shoes and my Hi-Standards are also 10.5

Exelon Nuclear employees will celebrate Earth Day by participating in a variety of activities in Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including teaching elementary school students about green energy options and volunteering at eco-friendly events.
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (April 21, 2009) - Exelon Nuclear employees will celebrate Earth Day by participating in a variety of activities in Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including teaching elementary school students about green energy options and volunteering at eco-friendly events.
In keeping with the spirit of Earth Day, Exelon Nuclear launched the "Gabby Green" program, an educational series to teach young students about electricity, conservation and green energy such as solar, wind, hydropower and nuclear. The goal of the Gabby Green program is to promote environmental stewardship and raise awareness about green energy solutions. Encouraging children at a young age to become involved in energy conservation is a key way to build good and lasting behaviors.
In addition, hundreds of Exelon Nuclear employees will participate in environmental volunteer projects in recognition of both Earth Day and National Volunteer Week.
"Environmental stewardship is a responsibility that we do not take lightly at Exelon," said Joe Grimes, Acting Senior Vice President of Mid-Atlantic Operations for Exelon Nuclear. "The company and our employees strive for environmental excellence in our operations. Educating young people and partnering with nonprofit organizations to preserve our environment serve as vivid examples of our collaboration with our local communities to make a positive difference."
In the Kennett Square area, Exelon Nuclear and its employees are participating in the following Earth Day activities:
· Wednesday, April 22, 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. - More than fifty Exelon employees will volunteer their time to clean up invasive species along the Exelon Trail at the Anson B. Nixon Park. This work will allow for the native species along the trail to flourish.· Friday, April 24 - Several employees will teach first to fifth grade students about green energy and ways to conserve electricity. The students are members of New Garden Elementary School's "Flip the Switch" club, a group created by the students to help their school become "more green."
These activities are part of the Exelon 2020 campaign, which is a comprehensive environmental strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint of Exelon, its subsidiaries and its host communities and customers.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

hmmm ... is your firewall AND /etc/hosts.allow AND /etc/hosts.deny set appropriately?
like is it just MySQL that doesnt work right or SSH/Telnet ?
I have MySQL installed on RH8, and am able to connect locally to the server, but cannot connect from my Windows box using MySQLCC, or MySQLGui. I get a "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" message on both clients. Port 3306 is open, I have an entry in the user table with the Host set to '%', but no joy.
If I attempt to Telnet to port 3306 from the Windows machine, I get "Connection to host lost" immediately, doing the same from the linux box gives me:
[davidn@tron etc]$ telnet localhost 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
3.23.52H.O$bBbI,Connection closed by foreign host.
[davidn@tron etc]$
Anyone have any clues why I cannot connect remotely?
Here is copy of /etc/my.cnf :
hmmm ... is your firewall AND /etc/hosts.allow AND /etc/hosts.deny set appropriately?
like is it just MySQL that doesnt work right or SSH/Telnet ?
Schotty - I am able to connect via SSH and Telnet with no problems. The box also does Samba file sharing, DNS, DHCP, SMTP, POP3 and HTTP, all trouble free.
I'm guessing that there is some setting somewhere that I have to define to allow the client to connect to the server, but I've never had this sort of trouble before.
I know I would be able to use phpMyAdmin to do this, but the MySQLcc interface is so much nicer (and a hell of a lot easier to use).
Look up the command grant. You will need to execute a grant priveledges from all users and for each machine (wildcards do work to make life simpler or possibly insecure and shitty ;D ).
I had already created a user with the command:
[pre]INSERT INTO mysql.user SETHost = '%',
User = 'monty',
Password = PASSWORD( '*******' ) ,
Select_priv = 'Y',
Insert_priv = 'Y',
Update_priv = 'Y',
Delete_priv = 'Y',
Create_priv = 'Y',
Drop_priv = 'Y',
Reload_priv = 'Y',
Shutdown_priv = 'Y',
Process_priv = 'Y',
File_priv = 'Y',
Grant_priv = 'Y',
References_priv = 'Y',
Index_priv = 'Y',
Alter_priv = 'Y' [/pre]
to no avail.
I am still nowhere with this, and would really like to use MySQLCC over phpmyadmin.
I used to use MySQLGui with MySQL on SuSE 8.0, so I am guessing that there is something on RH8 that requires setting. I should point out that I have no firewall on either the database server or the Windows client machine.

Explosive! He now leads the Steelers with 5 sacks.
Explosive! He now leads the Steelers with 5 sacks.
Just ask James Harrison.
I didn't know what to think of Worilds when we drafted him. I know the coaches or at least Tomlin was excited about him if I remember correctly.. Worilds shows he has the ability to be good to great and I hope gets it all together for this team and that the coaches play him more if he does.
Consider that Bruce Irvin (Seattle) was considered a one trick pass rushing pony and had a 1.57 yard split at a lighter weight. Anything sub 1.6 is considered elite pass rushing explosiveness.
Be glad to see if he can stay healthy through this season and the offseason.
Last edited by BigRob; 11-26-2012 at 01:44 PM.
It is weird seeing that big ol' 93 running around...I always think of Joel Steed...if Worilds shed a few pounds, maybe I wouldn't anymore.
Final Ruthless Mock:
1.22 CB Marcus Peters, 6'0" 197 lbs., Washington
2.56 FS Damarious Randall, 5'11" 196 lbs., Arizona State
3.87 TE Clive Walford, 6'4" 251 lbs., Miami
4.121 DE Henry Anderson, 6'6" 294 lbs., Stanford
5.160 WR Titus Davis, 6'1" 196 lbs., Central Michigan
6.199 OLB Kyle Emanuel, 6'3" 255 lbs., North Dakota State
6.212c OLB Max Valles, 6'5" 251 lbs., Virginia
7.239 RB John Crockett, 6'0" 217 lbs., North Dakota State
Worilds seems to play a lot better when he plays on the left in place of Woodley than when he fills in for Harrison on the right. if I remember correctly, Worilds played LDE at Va Tech, seems like he is a lot more comfortable on that side.
Worilds is a beast at LOLB. He's mediocre on the right.
I keep thinking he's fast Casey Hampton. When you look at the 3 quickly, sometimes it looks like an 8.
I've liked the guy for a while. It seems he is finally about healthy. He has the ability to be a real playmaker.

dash double kit seat fabric
Replacement seat fabric, including harness and padded buckle system, for your dash double kit.
This product has been discontinued - once we've sold the last in the last colour, it's gone for good (we're sorry!).
Momenteel niet in deze regio verkrijgbaar.
This fabric part does not include the double kit frame or cushioned double kit seat insert . If you need the double kit frame, you will need to order the dash double kit .
Good as new- still a Perfect Place to Nap

We have a Dash buggy (circa 2009!) and it's still truckin'! We've added 2 more kids since then and plan to use our stroller til our stroller days are done. The black fabric had faded and our sun shade bit the dust. So we ordered new fabric parts for our still-strong Dash frame and it's as good as new! The seat fabric is as good as ever and we've already taken it to Disney a couple times and the kids have napped away. Always a great product!

|Where are they now? » Home
Wednesday, August 11, 2010Bernard Card was known for his hustle on the basketball court as a member of the Lipscomb Bisons. He is working just as hard in the corporate world as well. He was inducted in the Campbell Sales Company Hall of Fame this summer for his success as part of the Campbell Soup team. Less than150 employees of the company have been honored with the award since it was established in the 1950s. Card earned five merit awards to be eligible for induction. He took time off from his busy schedule to answer a few questions for LipscombSports.com.
What sport(s) did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played basketball at Lipscomb from 1976 until 1978. The venerable Don Meyer, Steve "Goose" Davidson and Rusty McCain."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"My fondest memory was beating Belmont and Freed-Hardeman."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Indeed, Coach Meyer had the greatest influence on my career at Lipscomb. I had the privilege of staying with Coach Meyer and his family for a couple of months in the summer of 1977. I was able to see
him in a different light while living with them. Coach Meyer taught me the ability to plan effectively in order to execute the plan."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"The greatest time was when the entire university would convene in front of Alumni Hall and sing songs of praises to the Lord. I attended those sessions every Monday night."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"I learned that integrity and intellect are the wheels of an effective leader in corporate America."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"Well, I have two. Dr. Axel Swang kept us on our feet in accounting every day. Oh yeah, he knew exactly where to throw the eraser in class, too. Also, Dr. Bill Ingram was an excellent professor. I learned how to say `at any rate' with the same degree of charm like him."
Where do you live now?
"I live in Helena, Ala."
Who is your employer?
"My employer is Campbell Sales Company (Campbell Soup Company)."
What is your occupation?
"Business Manager"
What does your position entail?

Woodson on Short List for Coach of the Year
Breaking down the first half of the NBA season, Grantland's Zach Lowe touts the candidacy of Mike Woodson for the league's Coach of the Year, as there's little doubt that Woody has been doing one of the three or four best coaching jobs in the NBA. Lowe is especially impressed with Woodson's evolution as a coach, and his ability to integrate new ideas into his philosophy:
So does Woodson, who has reached both Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith in ways previous coaches couldn't; resurrected Rasheed Wallace's career as a useful defensive stopper; and, most importantly, embraced NBA modernity by spacing the floor for a rainstorm of 3s and Tyson Chandler pick-and-rolls. Woodson has been pigeonholed in the past as an iso-ball, slow-it-down conservative stick in the mud, but he has bucked that perception by adding a bit of Mike D'Antoni/Stan Van Gundy flavor.

I think there's a bit of a misconception in a statement like the above that it somehow exonerates D'Antoni for his failures, as if it's to say, "See, he's using D'Antoni's stuff! Mustache's are better than goatees!"
But coaching, I think as anyone who's ever had one can attest, isn't just about scheme, but there is a sales element to the job. The players have to believe in what you're saying. I think Woody deserves enormous credit for both evolving as a coach, finding a few new ideas that fit the skills of his team, and then executing them. That part is not easy either. It's also quite possible he's just been really underrated as a tactician in his own right, something that his ability this year to draw up plays out of timeouts would attest.
Also, I know the stats — correctly, in my opinion — bear out that the Knicks haven't been a consistently good defensive team this year, but I also think they've shown a level of defensive quality at times that we haven't seen from this team in a long while, and for me, that's still an encouraging sign as the season goes along.
