New Abilene bakery, Sweets du Jour, aims to be unique
Click here for Sabrina Davis' step-by-step instructions for making a flawless devil's food cake.
There are many bakeries in Abilene, but Sabrina Davis set out last fall to open one that would be different.
After about four months of operating Sweets du Jour out of a small shop and kitchen space at South Seventh Street and Leggett Drive, she might have pulled it off.
Like many bakers, Davis remembers spending much time in the kitchen as a girl. Another similarity is that she dreamed of opening a bakery long before she sought out a storefront in October 2011. However, she went about opening a bakery in a nontraditional manner.
For instance, when it came to learning to cook, she taught herself. Her first memory of cooking is of scrambling eggs when she was 6 years old. About 11 years ago she shifted her focus to baking.
Davis said she read the Le Cordon Bleu cooking literature "the way some people read novels." Her reading, coupled with a lot of practice in the kitchen, gave her a handful of winning recipes.
And before starting her business, she learned about business. The San Diego native, who has lived in Abilene about 17 years, went to McMurry, earning a double major in accounting and finance.
"I went to school so I would know the business aspect," she said, "and be able to start my own."
Last fall, she found what she considered the perfect space to open her business. A former jewelry store with blank white walls, plush green carpet, built-in jewelry displays and no kitchen probably wouldn't have seemed ideal to most.
However, she quickly went to work adding a kitchen and making the front of the shop look like a street in Paris. The only reminder of the store's past life is an enormous safe that sits in the back of the kitchen. Propped open and holding some bakery supplies, the safe was too heavy to remove, Davis said.
A mural stretches across one entire wall of the bakery. Bistro tables sit alongside the mural with striped awnings hanging overhead.
It's not just the décor that's meant to remind patrons of France. Davis uses several French techniques in baking — most famous may be the brioche dough she uses to make cinnamon rolls.
"The cinnamon rolls are the most popular item," she said. "Most cinnamon rolls are really dense but these are not. They just seem to win people over."
Don't be fooled, though, the restaurant goes through a lot of scones and quiches, as well, Davis said. The scones, made in flavors like white chocolate raspberry, are more reminiscent of dessert than breakfast. Scones are put in the case daily, Davis said, as well as two types of quiches.
"I love to make things and see the reactions on people's faces when they put them in their mouth," she said. "It's worth a million dollars to me. I love it, I love it, I love it."
Other unique items Davis makes for Sweets du Jour are what she calls designer brownies. She makes them in four flavors — peanut butter caramel, chocolate peanut butter, white chocolate raspberry and extreme chocolate, which features espresso and three types of chocolate.
"I knew from the beginning I wouldn't do cupcakes," she said. "There are lots of places in town doing cupcakes and they should keeping doing that. I just knew I wanted to be different."
She doesn't do sheet cakes or wedding cakes, either. She does, however, do layer cakes and cheesecakes.
Although layer cakes and cheesecakes are common bakery staples, the ones Davis churns out look anything but traditional. People who are used to seeing fluffy buttercream frosting on a stacked cake may be surprised to see most of the cakes Davis makes covered with sleek, shiny ganache. Her cheesecakes don't generally get a drizzle of chocolate sauce, rather, they're topped with fruit or candy or delicate curls of shaved chocolate.
She doesn't sell doughnuts or kolaches, but she hopes the bakery becomes a hot breakfast spot because of the quiches, muffins and cinnamon rolls. Additionally, she is set to get a dough sheeter next month, which will allow her to make croissants.
She said her knack for finance and accounting and her love of baking go hand in hand. A perfectionist by nature, baking demands the same attention to detail as bookkeeping.
"I'm very black and white," she said explaining her personality. "I'm a black and white thinker."
In just a few months of being in business, Davis said the number of repeat customers she has seen has been affirming.
"It's incredible," she said. "At times, I think about it and I just get really emotional. I'm just very appreciative that I get to live out my dream and I'm grateful that everyone else is getting on board."
Sweets du Jour is at 726 S. Leggett Drive. Call the bakery at 325-793-0382 for information and to place special orders.

Passover Guide for Diabetics
These are real concerns for people with diabetes and related health issues, who wish to fulfill the requirements of Pesach al pi halacha without compromising their health. After being inundated each year with questions of this type, the Star-K turned to the Jewish Diabetes Association (JDA) for answers. The JDA has kindly provided the following guidelines to help you prepare your matza and wine.
The stipulations for minimum shiurim for matza, which follow, are based on the psak of Rav Moshe Heinemann shlit"a.
NOTE: These calculations from the Star-K are based on the use of a Tzelem Pupa hand matza.
In the case of a medical condition, one may fulfill the mitzva of achilas matza, including korech and afikoman with the following:
Machine Matza: Most machine matza is uniform in size and shape. The portion size and carbs are listed on the box. It might be a good idea to keep the amount that you intend to eat near your plate.
Hand Matza: Hand matza varies according to size and thickness. Our calculations use a Tzelem Pupa hand matza. In order to simplify the calculations, we recommend that you weigh the matza before Yom Tov in order to become accustomed to the weights and sizes.
FOR THOSE WHO PREFER TO DO THEIR OWN CALCULATION: Matza has an average carb factor of 0.75 (75% of its weight is carbohydrates). Whole wheat matza has almost 12 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams, allowing one to deduct 4 grams per slice.
One Must drink at least 1.9 fl.oz. (56 ml) for each of the four cups.
Wine may be diluted in the following maximum ratios; these ratios allow the wine to retain enough of its properties to qualify it being used for the four cups:
NOTE: The diluted beverage should contain at least 4% alcohol to fulfill the obligation of drinking wine on at the Seder.5 If necessary, one may make a mixture of 2/3 water and 1/3 wine (66% water and 34% wine) as long as the diluted amount still contains 4% alcohol. Otherwise, there is a chance that it may no longer be considered wine for the Seder.
The following chart illustrates how much wine to drink:
If these guidelines are followed correctly, as seen in the above chart, one's total consumption of wine at the Seder will be less than 3 fl. oz. One who wishes to estimate the actual amount that he should drink at the Seder should measure the exact amount that he will need before Yom Tov. He should choose the becher (Kiddush cup) that he will be using at the Seder, and pour the measured amount into it so that he can recognize how much he will be drinking.
The following is an example of how to mix wine and water. Assume one has a wine with 10% alcohol content. If he makes a mixture of 40% wine and 60% water, he will have wine with 4% alcohol content, which is enough for the arba kosos. This can be done by mixing two cups of wine with three cups of water. He could fill a becher that holds at least 3.8 fl. oz. of this wine and water mixture, and drink at least 1.9 fl. oz. (the amount one may drink to fulfill the mitzva, when medically necessary). For the fourth cup, he could ask someone else to be motzee him in the bracha achrona.
To prepare in advance, simply pour 2 cups of wine into an empty bottle and add 3 cups of water. (The size of the measuring cup does not matter. Just make sure that you use the same cup for the water and the wine). It is always advisable to prepare this bottle in advance and label it as your own "SPECIAL RESERVE."
The best option for the Seder would be a dry wine, which has very few carbs. [Most dry wines contain approximately 4 grams of carbs per 8 oz. cup.] If the sour taste bothers you, try adding an artificial sweetener such as Kosher for Passover saccharin tablets, which can be dissolved in water.
Since manufacturers do not have a legal requirement to print nutrition facts on wine bottles, it is often hard to know exactly how many carbs a glass of wine contains. If you are trying to find a wine that is very low in sugar, you can use a glucose meter before Yom Tov to test a sample. (We tested it with a Glucometer Ascentia XL; not all meters will give accurate results). Test a sample of the wine just as you would test a drop of blood on your meter. If the wine you are testing is a sweet wine, your meter will give a HI reading. If it is a dry, low-carb wine, the meter will read it as LO. Many of the dry wines will not give a LO reading, but the numbers are a very good reference. For those who are not accustomed to drinking high quality dry wine, it may take some time to acquire a taste for it.
Here are some of the wines we tested for sugar content using a glucose meter:
The above wines are only examples. As you can see, sugar content from wine to wine and bottle to bottle can range widely. Remember to test the specific wines you are planning to use. Less expensive wines are rarely sugar-free. Checking with the meter confirms this statement, as some inexpensive, supposedly dry, wines actually tested HI on the meter.
IMPORTANT: Since alcohol may cause a drop in your blood sugar, discuss with your doctor whether or not to cover the carbs in the wine with insulin. There is more of a chance that wine will cause a low BG on an empty stomach. If you use pure (unmixed) wine for the first cup, make sure to follow the above guidelines and not overdo your alcohol intake.
Those with Type 2 diabetes should discuss with their health care team and Rav whether it is better to drink wine or grape juice. According to halacha, wine is preferable. Furthermore, grape juice with its high sugar content, is not ideal for those with diabetes. However, many of the oral medications used for treating Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes) are not compatible with alcohol.
Therefore, we suggest showing the wine combination options to your health care team. As previously noted, after the dilution, the remaining alcohol content of all four cups is not significant. Many health care professionals have been very pleased with these dilution options and allow this small total amount of alcohol even with medication.
In addition, those with gestational diabetes (diabetes in pregnancy) or T1, or who are pregnant, should check with their health care team and Rav to determine which way to go. Again, show them the charts in order to guide them in their decision.
As noted above, one should use wine or, if necessary, a wine/grape juice combination for the arba kosos. If you are unable to drink wine, you may use grape juice instead. If due to medical reasons you are unable to drink pure grape juice for the arba kosos (and cannot drink any percentage of wine), you may dilute the grape juice. When mixing grape juice with water, at least 50% of the mixture should be grape juice (i.e., the cup is half grape juice and half water).
As suggested earlier, you may wish to prepare a "special reserve" mixture before Yom Tov and fill a bottle with two full bechers of grape juice and two full bechers of water. This will suffice for the arba kosos. Add more using the same ratio as necessary. Keep in mind that as far as diabetes and carb counting are concerned, dry wine is certainly preferable. If you drink grape juice, note that the carbohydrate content of the various grape juices differs. The juices that we tested ranged from 32 to 60g of carbs per cup. Always check the label to ensure you are consuming the least amount of carbs when combining grape juice with wine and/or water.
NOTE: Kedem's Concord dark grape juice scored 16 grams of carbs in a 4 oz. serving, while the labels on Kedem's Sparkling Chardonnay and Catawba list 13 and 12 grams of carbs, respectively, in the same 4 oz. serving.
Remember that failing to prepare is preparing to fail. If you have everything ready ahead of time, you are less likely to run into problems.
Finally, remember that Pesach does not have to mean matza, potatoes, and eggs throughout Yom Tov. Instead of high-fat soups and potato kugel, you can substitute other vegetables and vegetable combinations.
JDA has published a cookbook, EnLITEned Kosher Cooking, with more than 140 recipes for Pesach, along with year-round recipes that are easily adaptable. A Hebrew version, BishuLITE, is now also available.
To order either cookbook, get more information about diabetes, or a list of Pesach recipes from the book, visit www.jewishdiabetes.org.
Today we are lucky to have a much larger variety of Kosher for Pesach products. Below we list some products with their nutrition facts.
Common Cooking Ingredients:
Sugar Substitutes
Powdered Equal, Splenda and Nutrasweet are NOT Kosher for Pesach and may not be used.
Below is a partial list of the cookies and cakes that are available for Pesach. It is probably safe to assume that similar products will have more or less the same amount of carbohydrates, as their manufacturing processes are nearly identical. Since Pesach products for the most part consist of potato starch, sugar and/or matza meal, they are basically almost pure sugar. To ensure a healthier alternative, one should opt to make "homemade" snacks with fewer carbs.6
1. This assumes the whole matza (before it is broken) has a diameter of at least 10.5 inches, which means the entire matza has an area of 86.6 sq. in. Hence, 1/6 of the matza equals 14.5 sq. in. This is the minimum shiur for someone with a medical condition.

I've just doen a search on this as I couldn't think that it wouldn't have been suggested before but it isn't coming up ....
Just peel a banana, wrap it in tinfoil and freeze it!
No need to defrost, they're edible straight from the freezer(ie. not ROCK hard) and have the consistency of ice-cream.
You CAN roll it in a bit of splenda for a sweet crunchy coating but they're fine without. It's more like having a desert or an ice-cream than just another plain old piece of fruit!

Democrats Want Defense Cuts as Part of a Budget Agreement
- March 17, 2011
- comments:0
Senate Democrats are insisting that defense spending be part of any deal to fund the federal government for the remainder of fiscal 2011.
"It's a pretty universal feeling on our side that you have to go beyond domestic discretionary to get to a number that would be a compromise number," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told CQ Today.
Any effort to cut DOD spending in 2011 below current levels will meet heavy resistance from the Pentagon, however, which repeatedly has stated that continuing to fund the department at FY 2010 levels will force major sacrifices in readiness as officials shift funds toward "must-pay" bills such as salaries and healthcare.
Senate Democrats also want entitlement programs to be included in an agreement on FY 2011 spending, a position which puts them at odds with House Republicans who have primarily targeted non-security discretionary spending for cuts as part of their spending plan for the year.
Since the two parties began talks over a 2011 budget, Republican leaders have said they believe reforms to mandatory spending programs should not be brought up until the fiscal 2012 budget is addressed.
Following the Senate's approval Thursday of the sixth continuing resolution of fiscal 2011, the two sides will have three more weeks to strike a deal on a full-year spending bill before a government shutdown next looms. The stopgap measure passed in the Senate would keep the federal government running through April 8 and cut $6 billion from current funding levels.

The Evolution of a Real-time Data Warehouse
Jorge Garcia
Understanding Real-time Systems
Today, real time computing is everywhere, from customer information control systems (CICSs) to real-time data warehouse systems. Real-time systems have the ability to respond to user actions in a very short period of time. This computing behavior gives real-time systems special features such as instant interaction: users request information from the system and they receive the answer. Also, users have the possibility to remain connected (online) so they can start this interaction with the system anytime—which is called an online transaction processing (OLTP) system.
In general, a real-time system generates a large amount of up-to-date data and operates in a transactional way (meaning, it is used to register business transactions). Even though a traditional real-time system can store historical information, it is not designed to exploit this information for analytical purposes. In real-time systems, the importance of data resides mainly in the possibility of reacting or responding to the most current data in the system and uses historical data for monitoring purposes. Common real-time systems are designed for bookkeeping purposes (e.g., invoice information, flight reservations, etc.). Transactional data stored in the traditional real-time system will be changed (updated) according to operational purposes, which explains why some traditional real-time systems are also called "operational systems."
The Data Warehouse
Operational systems are able to generate a large amount of data to support the transactional operations of an organization. The data generated by these systems is fresh and valuable; as well, it can be very diverse and heterogeneous, and can come from a wide variety of sources. It is common for many companies to have several systems to support their operations. In order to solve the problem (gathering, integrating, cleaning, and analyzing this heterogeneous information), new software systems were developed. The data warehouse is its most important character.
A collection of subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and non-volatile data is what we can call a data warehouse. This data is used to support the decision-making process of an organization's management team. A data warehouse is used to integrate all of an organization's historical data, and has the ability to store snapshots of its transactions. All information generated from the operational data source is extracted, cleansed, transformed, and loaded into the data warehouse. Once in the data warehouse, the data can be subject to a wide range of analysis and exploration processes.
In a traditional data warehouse design, data generated within the company is concentrated in a unique place and will not be deleted. This ensures that all data is integrated and homologated to reflect one single version of the truth throughout the organization (every quarter, month, week, or even day). There are many tools that enable data analysis from very diverse points of view—reporting and analysis tools, online analytical processing (OLAP) analysis tools, data mining, forecasting, etc.
Managers and decision makers realized that a data warehouse—and its technology—had the ability to provide a complete view of the status of an organization. But as operational systems evolved, businesses merged, and globalization augmented, the number of business transactions increased substantially. Soon it became clear that having only historical information available wouldn't be enough to give companies all the necessary data for decision support. Managers needed data to be refreshed at a high speed, forcing data warehouses refresh cycles to be increased in frequency.
Real Time and the Data Warehouse
At first glance, real-time and data warehouse concepts appear to be very distant and disparate, but if we look more closely, we will be able to see that the real time data warehouse paradigm has more logic than we might have thought. As I mentioned before, the volume (data) generated from operational data systems has grown intensively. Data speed has forced data warehouses to radically change the way data is stored and handled.
As a natural process and consequence of the increasing speed of data generation, the traditional data warehouse design was forced to incorporate more frequent refresh cycles, and new challenges in data warehouse design had to be confronted. One of the first steps in managing this major issue was the creation of the near real-time data warehouse.
The Near Real-time Data Warehouse
The extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) process represents one of the major challenges in real-time data warehouse design. All ETL data warehouse processes were originally designed to be executed in batch mode, during previously scheduled downtimes. All operational data from distinct sources (e.g. ERP systems) was extracted, cleansed under a stage repository, and loaded into the data warehouse over long periods of time, mostly at night. These processes can take minutes or hours, depending on the volume of data being uploaded to the data warehouse.
With the pressure to load more recent data into the data warehouse, all ETL processes were forced to augment their frequency with new designs. This approach was derived from a very simple solution: if the business does not really need real-time technology, it might be enough to implement a near-real-time data warehouse. This means that the main part consists only in doing more ETL processes. The near real-time approach has some challenges such as increasing the downtime frequency; the pressure to decrease downtime period duration; and avoiding inconsistency in data results. If there is no actual need for a real-time data warehouse solution, a good option could be to implement a near real-time data warehouse.
The Real-time Data Warehouse
A real-time data warehouse enables data to be stored at the very moment it is generated and it is immediately captured, cleansed, and stored within the data warehouse structure. Traditional refresh cycles are no longer valid. The data warehouse is capable of reading the same data that moves around the operational systems at the same time it is generated. Despite the technical difficulties of implementing a true real-time data warehouse, there are some advantages.
It shortens information delivery times.
It improves integration throughout the organization.
It eases the analysis of future trends.
Basic Principles to Consider
With the growing popularity and increasing implementation of real-time data warehouses, it is important to consider some basic principles when considering a real-time data warehouse implementation.
Data on Time, at the Right Time. The data must flow to the real-time data warehouse at the necessary speed in order to be considered valuable data. In a real-time data warehouse, the ETL batch mechanism based on a table or file transfer is replaced with a design in which data flows from very different yet synchronized data sources into the data warehouse. Data will be considered valuable if it flows at the right speed and not necessarily at real-time speed. This data cycle will depend on the analytical purpose the data is used for. Real-time data is an essential part of the analytical process, but historical data remains an essential part of the design paradigm. While tactical analysis requires immediate or recent data, other sorts of strategic decision making require a higher volume of historical data. For all business analysis, a combination of both historical and real-time data is necessary.
The Analytical Purpose. Real-time data warehouses are not intended to replace traditional operational systems. One of the functions of a real-time data warehouse is to support analytical purposes, and not to perform operational functions. Even when a real-time data warehouse has the ability to store real-time data, its design is intended to perform intensive data loading, not transaction-based registrations. Real-time data warehouses are based on business data flows rather than business transactions, and need to maintain their main analytical purpose.
The Enterprise Focus. One of the key differentiators from other real-time systems such as ERPs, CRMs etc. is integration. A real-time data warehouse integrates data that flows from different sources to one single site. Consider a real-time data warehouse as an enterprise data warehouse—this repository will be accessible for all business units across the organization.
Some Players in the Real-time Data Warehouse Field
There are several vendors in the data warehouse space. Some are big and offer very robust solutions. Others vendors are innovative and offer very state-of-the-art solutions. Here are some data warehouse vendors to consider when planning a real-time data warehouse solution implementation (listed in alphabetic order).
Greenplum Database is data warehouse software built to support large-scale analytics processing. Massive parallel processing (MPP) is architecture-based and multi-level fault tolerance. This database supports industry standard interfaces (structured query language [SQL], open database connectivity [ODBC], java database connection [JDBC], and interoperation with most common business intelligence (BI) and ETL tools.
IBM counts on InfoSphere Warehouse to deliver an entire data warehouse deployment solution, with different editions (e.g., Enterprise and Departmental), and a complete warehousing solution (InfoSphere Balanced Warehouse). Recently, IBM announced InfoSphere System Z as part of a complete IBM data warehouse solution. It enables applications to populate data warehouses under DB2 for z/OS operating systems.
SQL Server 2008 provides a scalable data warehouse solution for BI. This product's features include data compression, partitioned tables, parallelism capabilities, and change data capture. The scalable integration services tools enable fast ETL operations and connectivity to non-SQL server data sources.
Netezza Data Warehouse Appliances is a combination of software and hardware tools designed for analytical processing of very large amounts of data. Netezza's architecture is massively parallel processing (MPP)-based and uses a "streaming" processing to help enable advanced or complex analytical processes.
Oracle offers a set of products for deploying data warehousing solutions, such as Exadata Storage Server (based on the HP ProLiant DL180 G5 server), HP Oracle Database Machine designed for multiterabyte data warehouses, and the Oracle Warehouse Builder integration tool that supports advanced data loads and data capture for low latency databases. They also offer other products like Oracle Partitioning, which can lower query times and increase data availability.
Among other products offered, Terada Database 12 is an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) solution with parallel operation capability, mission-critical availability, and ease of integration. With support from symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), massively parallel processing (MPP), and its own tools and utilities such as Tpump, FastLoad, MultiLoad, data is loaded continuously. Also, the Teradata Replication Services are used for real-time capture and delivery of changed data.
The Vertica Analytic Database is a column-oriented, MPP architecture-based database that handles new generation data warehouses. It is designed to handle large-scale data analysis and many concurrent users, and features an aggressive data compression.
Data warehouse implementation has changed radically. It still is an enterprise data repository that enables data analysis. But nowadays data warehouses are able to incorporate not only historical data but real-time data. This new feature expands the functionality of data warehouses and enables them to store information at a higher speed. It is also capable of supporting tactical and analytical decision for an organization at the right time. The data warehouse is not only alive and well, but it is evolving and maturing. It is enabling companies to evolve and expand by using new technology to analyze past and present information, to support future decisions.

The latest on the starting rotation…
Michael Baron, ContributorOpening Day is now two days away, and the Mets' Major League-ready starting rotation depth remains paper thin. Currently, the Mets have three healthy starters: Jon Niese, Matt Harvey, and Dillon Gee. Jeremy Hefner suffered a bruise from a come-backer during his start earlier this week, and Shaun Marcum has suffered through some strength and neck problems.
Now, Hefner told me on Wednesday his elbow was fine, and should have no problems starting the season on time. He's wearing a small brace on his arm, but he is not nearly as concerned as he was at the time of the injury. Marcum is hopeful he will pitch on April 7, but it's appearing likely he will begin the season on the disabled list, backdated by ten days. But even if Marcum is ready next weekend, between his arm, his neck, and the lack of innings under his belt this spring, he is a complete mystery right now.
In other words, the Mets need options for their rotation, and Sandy Alderson said last night those options will come from within, and not from outside the organization.
The Mets are stretching Aaron Laffey out so he can serve as short-term insurance for the rotation. He was re-assigned to minor league camp last weekend and struggled in his start against the Cardinals on Sunday. But he will probably continue to work in the rotation once the Las Vegas 51's season starts next week. However, Laffey is not on the 40-man roster, and so the Mets would have to cut somebody else to make room for him.
Another option could be Collin McHugh, although he struggled this spring and clearly has work to do in order to be an effective Major League pitcher.
Based on Sandy Alderson's comments last night, it's clear Zack Wheeler is still not making the team out of camp. Yes, according to multiple reports, scouts believe Wheeler is ready right now. But the Mets have made it clear Wheeler will not be used as a band-aid, and his situation has not changed despite the injuries inside the rotation. I also can't envision the Mets sacrificing a year of Wheeler's control under any circumstances.
Last weekend, Alderson told reporters that if John Buck got injured, they would immediately recall Travis d'Arnaud from Las Vegas.
"I know people talk about control and 'Super Two' and all of that. If John Buck gets hurt tomorrow, Travis d'Arnaud is the front-line catcher," Alderson said.
If the Mets wait 20 days to promote either or both of Wheeler or d'Arnaud, neither would be able to accrue a full year of service time in 2013, which in turn would delay their eligibility for free agency an extra year. If the Mets wait until the 'Super Two' cutoff date (which will be sometime in June), they will not be eligible for arbitration an extra year, which could potentially lower their salary commitments to both of those players significantly in 2015.
However, if the Mets are willing to allow d'Arnaud to achieve 'Super Two' status in a situation of need, I have to believe the same applies to Wheeler if he's ready and performing in late April. The depth issues inside the rotation aren't going to change in the next three weeks, and so I bet there will be a lot of buzz about Wheeler joining the big league rotation soon after the 20th day of the regular season (that's the last day Wheeler would be eligible for a full year of Major League service time, which would delay his free agency an extra year.
The Mets might be risking a rapid salary escalation in future seasons by calling him up before the 'Super Two' cutoff, but if Wheeler is healthy and performing, they could look to curtail those large raises and sign him to an extension at that point in time, thus creating better clarity and cost certainty in their payroll structure.
Click here for rules about MLB service time, 'Super Two' status, and arbitration...
Per MLB rules, a player accrues a full year of Major League service time if he spends 172 of the 182 days on the active roster or on the Major League disabled list. If a player is optioned to the minor leagues for 20 days or less, he is credited with big league service time as well.
A player becomes "Super Two" eligible if he is one of the top 22 percent of rookies called up in a season. If a player becomes eligible, he has four years of arbitration eligibility, the first coming after his second year.

Got this one with the artwork and all (love it when that happens). This is a nice little set, although the drums are a little heavy in the mix at the beginning. Really it's hard to go wrong with Buddy Miller though, and on this set he's got a full band behind him so some of it gets a little more rockin' than usual. Buddy is a highly underrated artist in a sea of underrated artists. Cool version of "That's How I Got To Memphis" on here too.

New job openings and labor turnover survey
July 31, 2002
New data on job openings and labor turnover were introduced this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job openings are a measure of unmet labor demand and can be compared with unemployment, which measures unused labor supply.
The number and rate of job openings in May 2002 were substantially lower than a year earlier. On the last business day of May 2002, there were 3.5 million job openings, 2.6 percent of the number of total filled and unfilled positions (employment plus job openings) in the United States. This was down significantly from 4.3 million openings, or a job openings rate of 3.2 percent, in May 2001. Over the same period, the total U.S. unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) rose to 5.5 percent from 4.1 percent a year earlier.
These data are a product of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Job openings refer to the number on the last business day of the month. Also, these data are not seasonally adjusted. Find additional information in "New Monthly Data Series on Job Openings and Labor Turnover Announced by BLS," USDL 02-412.

Police seeking suspect who spied on woman in store dressing room
HUNTINGTON STATION - Suffolk County Police are seeking the public's help relating to an unlawful surveillance investigation in Huntington Station.

Sitting in her Dora the Explorer-themed room, Macie Greene is in her element.
The 9-year-old has Rett syndrome, which is in the autism spectrum of developmental disorders. But it doesn't prevent her from smiling.
Sitting in her Dora the Explorer-themed room, Macie Greene is in her element.
The 9-year-old has Rett syndrome, which is in the autism spectrum of developmental disorders. But it doesn't prevent her from smiling.
"Dora is her comfort zone," Macie's mother said. "It just clicked with her."
The daughter of Mike and Brenda Greene was born with the neurological disease that affects girls almost exclusively. Macie can't talk and can't feed herself. She has scoliosis, kidney stones, digestive problems and at times severe anxiety.
The family had no idea Macie had the disease until she was about a year old and wasn't doing many of the things other kids her age were doing. A blood test ultimately confirmed the disorder.
As Macie has grown, the day-to-day reality has become more challenging. She weighs 60 pounds and must be lifted in and out of her chair.
"She completely relies on us to get her from Point A to B," Mike Greene said. "Getting her out of her wheelchair and into a car seat to go to her appointments or for us to go out as a family is getting more and more difficult as she grows."
Brenda Greene reached a low point a few months ago as she attempted to load Macie and her wheelchair into their car during a rainstorm.
"I'm by myself when I take her to appointments a lot of the time, so there are no extra arms to hold an umbrella," she said. "She gets wet, and then her cloth seat gets wet. I looked back and saw her glasses were covered with raindrops and she couldn't see. It was just very frustrating."
That's when the family started looking around for a van to accommodate Macie's wheelchair. The specialized vans cost more than $50,000, an amount that would be difficult to afford on Mike's salary as a police officer and the other jobs he works to help make ends meet.
"It's important to me and to our family that Brenda stays home with Macie because she requires so much daily care," Mike Greene said. "I do what I have to do to make sure we have what we need. But at the same time, buying a van like that would be difficult."

The Suffolk hockey team dropped its first two games of the season at the Becker College Ice Breaker Tournament Nov. 7-8.
The Rams lost to Nichols College in the first round, 4-1, to advance to the consolation game where they lost to host Becker, 3-1. Suffolk's next contest will be Saturday at Walter Brown Arena against Worcester State at 5:15 p.m.
Becker College defeated Suffolk 3-1, Saturday in the consolation game of the tournament. Becker College junior Mike Caprio (Valencia, CA) and freshman Nate Sayer (Dracut, MA) each had goals for Becker. Chris Reily (Lexington, MA) added the third goal, scoring on a Hawks' power play.
Suffolk got on the scoreboard and broke up the shutout with a goal by Kyle Cook (Chino Hills, CA) with just under 10 minutes remaining in the third period. Suffolk goaltender Bill Gilbert (Forestdale, MA) made 24 saves in the loss. Hawks netminder Jake Rosenthal (Wantagh, NY) had 25 saves in his first collegiate win.
In the opening game of the tournament, Nichols College defeated Suffolk University 4-1. Nick Davis (Pittsburgh, PA) scored Suffolk's lone goal on a power play late in the second period.
The Rams fell behind early as the Bison scored just 46 seconds into the game on a Zeke Costello (Shelby Township, MI) goal. The Bison took a 2-0 lead on Andrew Ella's power play goal. Suffolk then cut the lead in half after Davis' goal, but the Rams were unable to capitalize on any more scoring chances.
Nichols' Matt Roberts (Merrimac, MA) added two goals late in the third period, the first coming on even strength and the second an empty netter to seal the victory. Suffolk goaltender Jeff Rose (Collinsville, CT) made 29 saves.

Position Battles to watch
Going into training camp, there are a number of good position battles that should occur. Here are the ones I expect:
C: Chris Myers
Antoine Caldwell.
-I'm not a big fan of Myers, although he did have a solid season last year. He did a good job in pass pro this year, but could use improvement in the run game. Antoine Caldwell is also better in pass protection than run blocking, but he has a bigger body, and is more athletic than Myers. This will be an interesting battle, and it could very easily go either way, although Myers has experience on his side.
Advantage: Chris Myers
WLB: Xavier Adibi
Cato June
I think Xavier Adibi is the better option and has a lot of untapped potential. He's a great athlete, he's quick and strong, and has pretty good instincts. Cato June is very quick and experienced, but he is very undersized.
Advantage: Xavier Adibi
CB: Jacques Reeves
Fred Bennett
Jacques Reeves has the speed advantage, but that's it. The guy can't cover a ham sandwich. Bennett has optimum size, good speed and quickness, and although he had a down season, he could come back and surprise.
Advantage: Fred Bennett
These will be interesting to watch through training camp. Feel free to post any more that I failed to mention.
Kubiak said Caldwell is already pushing for a starting job, at C and possibly RG. I wouldn't be surprised to see him supplant Myers by midseason.

hello all.
Just catching up on the forum as been awol for a couple of weeks. Noticed a fair few newbies so thought I'd post a 'tips' thread, the things that helped me the most in the hope it will help others.
- take one day at a time, I'm a very much big picture girl. Always have to see the big picture in life. But on LT if I thought about how long i'd have to be on this I'd go mad!!! try not to think about getting through the week or month, just concentrate on getting through the end of today, then worry about tomorrow - tomorrow and so on and on and in that vain i've got through 16 weeks virtually 100% with only a few minor slip up. one day at a time!
- Keep logging onto this forum. It has been one of the major factors for my success.
- I strongly believ yu need to be in the right mental state to start this diet, If you are not, you will keep cheating and lipotrim isnt fr you. You have to REALL want this bad! You#re head HAS to be in the right place, no one can get your head there aprt from you. there are loads of people who do this diet and keep 'cheating', if thats you than thinkabou ehat diet would suit you best and maybe its no lipotrim. it aint for the faint hearted but beleiv you me it works!
- DRINK and DRINK more water, your loo will be your best friend, If you are not going to the loo every hour and a half your not drinking enough!! heehe!! it really helps, there are a few threads on drinkin water, dont go crazy, but make sure you are drinking lots - most likely more than you are. the doctor at the health centre I work at has the loo in front of his office an honest he thinks I have a massive crush on him as Im always hanging round the loo!!! hahah!! He even introduced himself to me a while ago - scary thing is - hes bleeding gorgeous!!! haha!! must remind myself Im a marred woman! but serious keep up the water intake.
- for most people ther first few days/weeks will be hardest, just get through your first week, dont give up the first week, no matter how hard it gets, even if you want to die (like i did the 1st day!!) - promise it gets easier. Prepare yourself mentally for the worst, that way if its torture - you haev prepared youel for it, and if its not you can say to ureself 'ahh its not too bad after all!'
- for some its usually just cravings that get to them, not hunger as such as when you are in ketosis you shouldnt feel hungry. However if you are one of those unlucky people (there are a few of us on here) who actually get hungry, don't worry,you are not the only one,drink more water, go to sleep, have sex find something to else to do but most importantly DONT GIVE UP. You will most likely think ALOT about food and dream of all sorts of food, this is notmal - do not worry.
- If you have to eat for whatever reason (i hd a few occasions like this at the inlaws, especially with them not knowing I'm on this!! the shock if they found out!) stick to proteins, don't touch the bread/carbs/alcohol. and drink lots of water post meal and next day to flush it out/ Stick to green veg
- sign up to the monthly challenges on here and try and post weekly your update on the challenge regardless of a good or bad week
- if you've had a bad week - dont go awol. come bck on to this forum, accept what yu have done an get back on track. If you have 7 beautiful roses, if one of thm wilts and dies - do you chuck the bunch of seven away of just the one rose? Same - if you have one bad day dont throw your whole week away, same with a month, 30 beautiful roses, if 7 of your roses die, you still have 23 beautiful roses to keep. Please dont chuck the 23 away. If you dont nip it in the bud - mind the pun, the problem gets more out of control than it initially was. If you slip up, we are here to support you and help you get through it - not judge or ridicule you. Hoever it's only IF you want to be helped
- Please don't gloat about the food you've eaten if you'd had an intentional or unintentional slip up on the forum. Remeber this is a TOTAL FOOD REPLACEMENT programme, if you've had a slip up and somene else out there is struggling, they come on to this forum and they dont need to see a list of yummy food. you've probably not realised and listed all you've eaten - how do you think the other person wiill feel? we come on here for support. Im not saying dont mention food but just be mindful of what you write in regards to food as this is TFR. If youve had a slip up and you need a bit of suppoet - PLEASE come on here, dont run away from, dont get the wrog of the stick with what im writimg, just think about why you are writing about what you are
- don't be selfish. there are alot of people (not just on the lipotrim forum) who will post when they want or need support and get upset when they don't get an immediate reply. Well I think that's selfish when they don't ever post to support others, this is about all of us supporting each other through our journeys. Support others and you in turn will get the support you need
- my mantra "this is just a time and it will pass" KEEP REPEATING in times of difficulty!!
- watching food programmes personally helped me, i know for others actually smelling food helped. do wha works for you
- acknowldge you will have good and bad days and good and bad weeks, it's part of the journey and getting through it will be so worth it all. I hav had the most horrenddous weeks motivation wise but I do beleive it's mind over matter and its how bad you want something, personally for me 100% is the way to go and 'breaking' the diet is so not worth it, in fact it makes it harder and its easier to kee going. Once you sart eating its harder to get back on it. Its all in our head!!!
-Try and get support from the people who are close to you. My hubby supported me as much as he could in his weird ways, sometimes he didnt really help and didnt take my feelings into account but having his support most of the time is most helpful. he doesnt always get it, but bless him he tries!
- If you dont have the suport from others, remember this 'diet' is ultimatley YOUR choice and YOUR decision and no one has the right to tell you what to do. if you want something - GO GET IT!!!
- I kept this diet from my inlaws and parents for a number of reasons - for me that worked and I don't see anything wrong in that, sometimes it's just easier that way
- try not to look at your weekly weight lossses but monthly overall lossess. I gurantee you, no other diet will make you lose that amount over a month
- figure out if daily or weekly weigh ins work for you and STICK to it. For me i know I need to weigh daily, it works, i have to, for others it has to be weekly, everyone is dfferent, figure yourself out and stick to it.
- if you stick to LT 100% you WILL lose weight, you are not eating, so if you do put ewight one or dnt lose much one week, it is probably water fluctuations as you phyically can not put possibly put fat on if you are not eating any
- take before and after pics. SOO motivating to see whne you've lost a fair bit
- as the weight drops, make sure you shake that sexy new ass of yours as much as possible. teeeheee!!
love and hugs to you all
if anyone has some more tips for us lipotrimmers post below

Above is the Reading Public Library, formerly a large school. It was very overcast when we entered through the back entrance.
The local history room is on the main floor. Photo is of my husband, not a patron.
The above photo and the two following are in the same room. The collection is mostly for Reading, but other nearby towns are included.
The below photo is in the second room. Shown is a large collection of the Vital Records for Massachusetts, otherwise known as, the tan books. In addition, there is a table, chair, microfilm reader (I believe) and other equipment. A person was there, so I didn't pay a lot of attention.

Anne Vacation Itinerary
Day One
Drive to Cavendish (Green Gables Shore) through the pastoral farmland that L.M. Montgomery made famous in her books. Your first stop will no doubt be Green Gables Heritage Place in Prince Edward Island National Park. Here is the preserved gabled house that inspired the setting of Montgomery's story of the red-haired orphan. Allow lots of time to explore the house and grounds, including the Haunted Wood and Lovers Lane. There are also interpretive programs, films on L.M. Montgomery, gift shops, and a snack counter. Not to be missed in Cavendish is the Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Home; relatives of the author, John and Jennie Macneill, still reside there, offering guided tours of the grounds and an impressive selection of books for sale. Avonlea Village has recreated the type of rural community where Anne lived (music, wagon rides, candy shop, period costumes, and heritage buildings). Keep your eyes peeled in the Cavendish area, as Anne and Diana are often seen greeting tourists and performing small vignettes. In early July, the L.M. Montgomery Festival is in full swing with a variety of special events tied to the author and her most famous fictional character. End your day in New London with a visit to the Lucy Maud Montgomery Birthplace, which is decorated with authentic Victorian period pieces and overlooking New London Harbour. Keep your eyes peeled for a replica of the writer's wedding dress and personal scrapbooks containing copies of her many stories and poems.
Day Two
In the Park Corner area (Green Gables Shore) visit the Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush, where you will find artifacts from L.M. Montgomery's time at this home of her relatives, the Campbells. Enjoy tea and shopping here at the Shining Waters Craft Shop & Tea Room, which also offers special wedding packages arranged in the very same parlour where L.M. Montgomery was married. Don't miss Matthew's Carriage Ride around the Silver Bush property, down by the Lake of Shining Waters or overlooking pastoral farmland on the way to the beach. Also in Park Corner is the Lucy Maud Montgomery Heritage Museum, the author's family home; you'll find original furnishings, many featured in "Anne books, including "Magog" (the china dog), the "Rosebud-Spray Tea Set", autographed first editions, and much more. In July and August, join Anne of Green Gables Treasury author Carolyn Strom Collins for "Anne's Perfectly Scrumptious Wild-Rose Tea Party." At Gateway Village in Borden-Carleton, fulfill that urge to have long red braids, as Cavendish Figurines invites you to have your photo taken while dressed as Anne. In Lower Bedeque visit the Lower Bedeque Schoolhouse where Montgomery taught; the period furnishings, books, and written materials will transport you back in time. In Bideford the local community has restored the Parsonage (where 19-year-old L.M. Montgomery lived), and opened it as a museum depicting the era's lifestyle and the Island's shipbuilding industry.
Day Three
Finish your tour in Charlottetown, searching the craft and gift shops for that perfect Anne memorabilia. (Watch for the tags that confirm the product has been officially authorized by the Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority.) The Anne of Green Gables Store probably has the most complete selection of Anne-related goods, including chocolates! Purchase tickets to Anne of Green Gables - the MusicalTM presented at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. Anne of Green Gables - the MusicalTM is Canada's longest running family musical and never fails to draw large and appreciative audiences from mid-June to mid-September. You can also purchase tickets at The Guild to see Anne & Gilbert, the Musical, which celebrates Canada's greatest love story.

Sex Offender Seeks Re-Election As Student Body President Of Riverside City College
April 18, 2013 7:45 PM
Photo Galleries
RIVERSIDE (CBSLA.com) — The student body president of Riverside City College is hoping to be re-elected in May, even though it was revealed earlier this month that he was a registered sex offender.
Doug Figueroa, 40, has been the voice of the students since May 2012.
On April 1, anonymous flyers were distributed around campus that said he was a "molester of children."
Figueroa, who can be found on California's Megan's Law website, was convicted of kidnapping and molesting a child under 14 in 2011.
He was later put on 10 years' probation.
Administrators said Figueroa volunteered the information and it was put on file when he enrolled.

EDWARD F. MARONEY PHOTO ENTERTAINING OPTIONS – Savi Borah, general manager of the International Inn on Main Street, speaks with the licensing authority Oct. 24 about alternate seating plans to accommodate a variety of entertainment offerings. At the advice of its police liaison, Officer Steven Maher, the board approved two of three options, choosing not to OK a configuration that would include a dance floor in the atrium. Members cited the potential for noise to escape onto the street after Maher said he had visited the Inn "four times in the last four weeks" to caution owners about sound levels. Borah said the Inn has limited its entertainment to weekend nights.
The "salt" at a proposed restaurant at 599 Main St. in Hyannis won't be in its name but will be found around the rim of the margaritas it serves.
Salt & Sea, Inc, which planned to open a restaurant called Salt at the location, got licensing authority approval Oct. 24 to change its name to Beech Tree Cantina.
Attorney Steven Pizzuti promised "an authentic Mexican menu" with guacamole being made tableside. He said a former longtime manager of Sam Diego's had been hired to run the restaurant, which the owner hopes to open between Thanksgiving and the end of the year.
The proponents were looking for a change in seating, too, something that concerned the authority and regulatory staffers, who've seen a succession of plans for the space that includes a passageway from the street past a venerable beech tree.
Co-owner William Pane stressed that another element of the layout, a coffee shop, would evoke Orleans' highly popular Hot Chocolate Sparrow. He said that element of the complex would open a few months after the restaurant.
After expressing concerns, the board agreed to approve a license covering total seating for the restaurant and coffee shop, with the understanding that the location would open the restaurant before the end of the year without the seating identified for the coffee shop. Those 60 seats would go "live" if the coffee shops opens on schedule before April 1.
Later that day, Pizzuti asked that a planning board hearing on the plan be postponed to Dec. 12, which was done.

Nick Snow
OGJ Washington Editor
WASHINGTON, DC, Aug. 4 -- US Senate consideration of a broad energy bill that includes offshore oil-spill provisions will not take place until after Labor Day, Democratic leaders announced on Aug. 3. Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) blamed Republicans, who immediately responded that the bill was temporarily shelved because it could not attract enough support from key Democrats.
"He didn't pull his bill because of Republican opposition. He pulled it because his fellow Democrats were deserting him, planning to vote against it, and supported the concepts of the Republican bill," said Lisa Murkowski (R-Alas.), the Energy and Natural Resources Committee's ranking minority member.
There were indications that support from Reid's own party eroded not only because of oil spill provisions that producing-state Democrats considered unrealistic, but also because the broader bill did not include requirements for electric utilities to generate more power from renewable sources to address global climate change.
Oil and gas trade association and other business leaders welcomed the delay. "The bill proposed by the Democratic leadership is not an effective or reasoned response to the spill. Instead it will cost American jobs, threaten our fragile economic recovery and jeopardize our energy security," said American Petroleum Institute Pres. Jack N. Gerard.
Its flaws include elimination of an offshore liability limit, similar to one in the bill which the US House narrowly approved on July 30, and a provision which would require producers to disclose chemical ingredients used in hydraulic fracturing, a crucial process in natural gas production from onshore shale formations, he indicated.
'Anti-industry momentum'
"This is a good, very important development," said Independent Petroleum Association of America Pres. Barry Russell. "The delay gives industry and our allies more time to fight these contentious proposals and halts the fast anti-industry momentum sweeping through Washington since the Gulf of Mexico accident."
Russell noted that provisions in the Senate bill that IPAA opposes, in addition to the two mentioned by API's Gerard, include proposed amendments to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which the independent producers' group thinks would leave any administration decision open to challenge; denial of leases to producers based on safety and while relying on arbitrary and vague requirements that are open to broad interpretation and legal challenges; and increasing the current 30-day review for offshore drilling permit applications to at least 90 days or 180 days at the Interior secretary's discretion.
Karen A. Harbert, president of the Institute for 21st Century Energy at the US Chamber of Commerce, said that voters who expected Congress to propose proper oversight of offshore exploration and production in the wake of the gulf oil spill got legislation from House and Senate leaders which essentially would shut down industry.
"It is not surprising, then, that ultimately the Senate proposal collapsed and the bill was pulled from consideration," Harbert said, adding, "Coupled with the administration's blanket moratorium on oil and gas production, it is clear that America is not getting the leadership it needs on energy."

CLPX-Satellite: SSM/I Brightness Temperature GridsEntry ID: NSIDC-0144
Abstract: This data set includes Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F-13 passive microwave brightness temperatures gridded to the geographic (lat/long) and UTM grids of the Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) Large Regional Study Area (LRSA). Data are provided for passive microwave frequencies at 19, 22, 37 and 85 GHz, separated by ascending and descending satellite passes, and include ... time files. Grid resolution is 25 km, which approximates the sampling resolution of the original swath data. Backus-Gilbert optimal interpolation is used to artificially increase (16 times) the density of brightness temperature measurements in the satellite swath reference frame. This process uses actual antenna patterns to create the oversampled array, and the net effect is as if the additional samples had been made by the satellite radiometer itself, i.e., the beam patterns and spatial resolutions of the interpolated data approximate those of the original samples. This method is based on the earlier work of Galantowicz and England (1991) and Poe (1990). Please see the documentation for the global version of this data set for complete details. Please see the documentation for the global version of this data set at http://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0032.html for complete details. Several things about this data set that are different: 1) Temporal coverage is limited to 1 February - 31 March 2002 and 1 February - 31 March 2003. 2) The projection/grid is not EASE-Grid, it is CLPX lrsa_geo720.0 and lrsa_utm25000. However, interpolation is Backus-Gilbert, so all the benefits of this interpolation are shared with the global data set. 3) Filenames are different. 4) CLPX grid dimensions are: GEO720.0: 23 cols by 18 rows UTM25000: 17 cols by 17 rows 5) Grid resolution for CLPX is limited to the CLPX grids that approximate 25 km.

Any Recruiting News/Rumors?
We're not holding back on you, man. That which is known will be posted.
Dantonio psychology
Your own advice: take it.
terrible idea for a thread
Belongs in the Schiano thread.
What, you don't hit the refresh button at least hourly so that you see every thread that is posted on the Board? You have other things in your life that you need to do? Stop. Get your priorities straight. Either that or use the "Site Search" tool to check and make sure your topic wasn't already posted mere hours ago.
So your reaction is to gloat about the relative strength of OSU's recruiting class? Points return in a month.
[NOT] thread awesomeness.

Creating a thread about how people shouldn't click the thread you created?
Complaining about a columnist only makes him stronger. In this case, silence is deadlier than than the sharpest knife.

Diamond/Gregory/Kozan: Triple Crown for the Class!
I would need a Hitler Downfall parody video to fully explain the problems with this, but to summarize: posting "I really want these guys" in a manner that makes people think we already GOT these guys is a bad idea.
Anyone who tells you they know where Diamond is heading before he picks Auburn tonight at 8p.m. is screwing with you.

That's a little too OT. Hope you got what you needed.
Roundtree commits NCAA violation via tweet? (per chatsports.com)
a) no ChatSports.
b) I don't think he understands the rules in question.
For a second there I was worried that...oh nevermind.
No. Not-so-creative titled thread praising Hoke by exclusively attacking Rodriguez is a dead thread. I know it spawned from an ESPN article but Rule 7 of Wedding Crashing does not apply here. OP should know how to present the information better. Return trip home from Bolivian is April 1, 2012.
It's the kind of thing I could care less about, but which will just get reposted 90 times if we delete the first one. The comments were already descending deep into "[group] needs to stop being whiny" territory, so I changed the title and locked the thread.
FTR I'm pretty sure this group cares way more about its core issues, but c'mon man if he was making players wear peyus and yarmulkes to make the statement that if you're not trying hard enough you're a Jew...well I'd find that funny but it would still be offensive. Also: a football coach is a homophobe: most shocking news ever?
JVarg1 is an asshole...
Troll caved. But it should go without saying: starting a thread that says "[Poster} is an asshole" is generally frowned upon.
Heil to the Victors: Congrats, OSU
Are you fucking kidding me? Once again, I feel the need to reaffirm one of the few rules around here: NO NAZIS.
Thread nuked, thread creator asploded.
Don't you all think that HE (not "she", not "it") has been dealt a tough enough hand to cut him some slack and not ridicule him on the Board? C'mon people.
Profitgoblue moderator FAIL. Self-punishment (per ZoneLeft's precedent): My points will return in a few days.
Man, I had forgotten about this.
Very old news... plus, not going there.
