From the Podium 12/30/10
Posted By Jesse Agler On December 30, 2010 @ 3:29 pm In Football | No Comments
[1]Tony Sparano had a very insightful visit with the media after practice today to talk a bit about Sunday's finale at New England and a good amount about off-season plans. When talking about off-season evaluation of what went right and what went wrong, Sparano said he would take "a good part of a month" to break everything down, from players to schemes, and everything else.
Talking about the difference between this season and 2008, when the Fins finished 11-5 and won the AFC East, Sparano pointed out that yardage has not been the big issue. As much as those guys have been picked on this year, Sparano pointed out that the team is only averaging 17 less yards per game now than they did in '08. He said it was more than just about yards and that you have to dig deeper (scoring, turnovers, special teams, and dropped INT's are all things that come to my mind).
Sticking with offense, Sparano talked about Chad Henne making a nice play on Sunday against the Lions, feeling pressure, stepping up in the pocket, and hitting TE Mickey Shuler down the middle for a big gain. He said it's a good example of how big plays are made in this league. A couple of weeks ago, he did a study of the teams with the most 30+ yard passing plays on the season: Green Bay and Atlanta. After watching the film, Sparano said that many of those plays happened because Aaron Rodgers and Mike Vick were running around a la Fran Tarkenton, allowing guys to get open downfield. A relatively simple, but powerful observation.
Lastly, Sparano spoke about the advances in special teams as the season has gone on. He said that one of the big reasons for improvement is that the core of young guys aren't so young anymore. Another simple but strong point.
UPDATE: Here is video of the coach talking about how he'll evaluate himself in the off-season as well as the kind of work that Brandon Marshall and Henne will be putting in together this off-season:

Tenerife New Developments - Off Plan Studios Apartments Villas and Townhouses
Tenerife New Developments - Projects
Demand is high for Tenerife New Developments, many people enjoy buying a new property which has not been pre-owned, also new properties tend to be more fashionable in terms of their design. Many people buy new cars for the same reason.
Tenerife Off plan developments attract property investors who have perhaps already seen the advantages of making this type of investment. The idea is that the purchaser enters into an agreement to buy a completed property then pays a generous deposit and agreed stage payments through the build process.
For the purchaser, with off plan investment, the price is fixed at an early stage so there is the benefit of increased capital value during the construction stage which can be significant, perhaps as much as 20%. The Developer benefits from knowing that the property is sold and also has capital to construct the property which may otherwise have to be borrowed.
Many off plan investors make money by selling concurrently with completion, thus avoiding paying the full price for the property. The investment gains can be significant and purchase taxes can be avoided.
Choice of Tenerife Off Plan Studios Apartments Villas Townhouses
We have always been interested in marketing a good range of New Developments in Tenerife because they are popular with clients. Many new developments these days are not located centrally because the sites in the best locations have usually already been developed. However, that is not always the case because some property developers sit on land banks knowing that their profits are increasing all the time.
We have an exciting range of Tenerife apartments for sale in Chayofa, just outside of Los Cristianos, Las Americas, Las Chafiras, Tejita beach, Playa San Juan.
We also have townhouses in Adeje, Chayofa and at Tejita beach. Villas are a little more rare but we do have some available in Costa Adeje.
Please consult with us to let us know your requirements and we will update you with the latest price and availability for current developments.
As leading Tenerife Estate Agents, we can help you find the ideal property.

Sugar Free
Frank's Energy Drink
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 4/2/2008 3:39 PM
Like so many other sugar free drinks out there, Frank's Sugar Free Energy Drink has an artificial sweetener flavor that unfortunately makes up the majority of the drink's flavor. That being said, we'd probably prefer a Frank's Sugar Free if it were based off of the lime variety. Packaging also has its flaws, using a washed out blue that is difficult to read compared to the bright colors of the Classic and Lime. Definitely our least favorite of the lineup.

Simple statement but one that I have learned to live by.
When reading my favorite blogs, which are quite numerous, I like to do it in such a way where my time is not wasted.
Mind you, this has nothing to do with a blog's content but rather, how the blog is structured.
Now, all of us would like to have lots of blog traffic but there are some things I have found that make reading blogs very inefficient and time wasters.
If you fall into any of these categories, just an fyi on how you can improve your blog.
#1 - Comment Location - I have my blog set up so that when someone wants to leave a comment, a separate window pops up. The great thing about this Blogger feature is that the reader is not taken away from my blog.
I cannot tell you how many bloggers have the comment field embedded below the post. When done commenting, the reader has to go back to the blog, find the last post they read and then continue on. Why do you want people clicked away from your blog? What if I have lots of comments I want to leave because your blog is so fantastic? All that toggling back and forth is a waste of time.
This is a simple fix on Blogger: Settings . . . Comments . . . Comment Form Placement . . . Chose Pop-Up Window
#2 - Click Here to Read More - Another time waster once again taking your reader away from your blog. I click on Read More and once done reading, I have to click home or the back arrow key to go back to your blog. I see the sands in the hourglass slipping away.
#3 - Link Party Backlink - I love link parties. I have a whole page on my blog dedicated to all of the link parties I visit each day. Some blogs now require a link back to their blog listed in your specific post or the link will not populate. I understand the link party owner's viewpoint that they want to get credit for hosting the blog. But, if I were to list every link party I link to, each post would be pages long. So, if you require a backlink, I won't be partying with you.
#4 - Know your date - It is very easy on Blogger to create blog posts and publish them when you want them to appear on your blog. So, if you say "Happy Wednesday" but you have Tuesday's date listed, it leads the reader to assume that they have read the post and will move on to the next blog.
A simple fix on Blogger: At the end of each blog post, you will see Post Options. Just type in the date and time of when you want the post to appear on your blog.
#5 - Links taking readers away from your blog - Not sure how I can fix this one but rather then set up a link in a post to open in a separate window, some bloggers have it set up (maybe I do too) so that the reader is taken away from your blog and directed to the link's webpage. If someone knows how to fix this, let me know.
I am not a blogger who utilizes all the tech info out there to make my blog fantastic. There may even be some of you who dislike my blog. I get that.
But as someone who reads lots of great blogs, I just wanted to share with you ways to make yours more user-friendly.
Let me know if my suggestions have helped any of you.
from change the world
to share your shopping list."

When was the last time you visited the library? When did you last check out a book? When did you last read a book?
Can you remember the last time you were so engrossed in what you were reading that time seemed to stop as you turned the pages - only to look up and discover that hours had passed without your notice?
I had many of those nights as a teenager and young adult. If I looked bleary-eyed in the morning you could be almost certain that a book was involved. ...

We're very interested in nanotechnology here, especially responsible nanotech and the environmental implications thereof. So, too, is the Royal Society, apparently:
Industry should disclose how it tests products containing nanoparticles, the Royal Society of the UK has said. Public information was needed because of uncertainties over the safety of some products that contained particles engineered at small scales, it added.
wow nanotechnology will make a huge difference, except where the heck is the progress, theories and plans are still being developed, and have been derived from years back as well, but there hasn't been any real WORLDCHANGING examples as yet.

Hello fellow Omega members!
I just wanted to make a brief announcement to all members of Omega alliance regarding a vote passed by our Alliance Council:
The Council is currently; Drak, ChrleSheen, ImVicious, Vashaan, JLunarJJJJ, lovelypixy, and myself.
The topic was, should we incorporate SKYPE as a part of our Jade Dynasty experience?
The result: 8 Yes votes, 0 No votes, 2 Undecided/Unresponsive
Therefore: from today forward, I would suggest that everyone get theirselves a free version of SKYPE!
Available here:
Though we do not REQUIRE you run and buy the headset/mic-speaker (or headphone) combo needed to use this, we think it would be benefiscial for everyone to have this. Here is why:
1. It is a small lite program that doesn't use much processor power at all!
2 It is free and you will be able to listen in on your Marshal/Chiefs conversations regularly.
3. If you have a question we will be able to describe the situation without having to type books worth of information.
4. We won't have to retype it when someone else asks the same question 40 minutes later. (LOL)
5. During wars, bgs, and other events, tactical strategy will be able to be communicated more quickly for greater efficiency.
6. Any info needed regarding time sensitive scenarios can be communicated very quickly also.
7. The program can be run in the background without disrupting your gameplay.
8. If you truly prefer to hear the game's sound effects and music, just mute Skype when not needed.
9. Even if you don't have a mic, you can type in alli chat and listen to verbal responses.
10. --- AND much much more!
So what're you waiting for?

Weldon debuts the Sportsman Fuel Pump: their first hand-adjustable pump/bypass combination—lifetime warranty included
Cleveland, Ohio: Weldon, the only racing fuel pump maker who uses all-metallic internal pumping components—no plastics or Phenolics permitted—has announced a new and innovative fuel pump with an integral bypassing regulator. Called the Sportsman, it is petite, light weight and supports race engines producing up to 1200 horsepower.
Because its internals are made entirely of tool steel, including the pump ring, pump rotor, and pump vanes, the Sportsman's inner working parts will neither fracture nor deteriorate with heat nor will its flow be impaired when fuel pressure is increased.
Operating on 12 to 16 volts this 4.1lb fuel pump has impressive pumping power with surprisingly low amperage draw. Efficiencies in the pumping chamber have a decisive effect on reduced amp draw.
Featuring AN-10 inlet and outlet ports and AN-8 bypassing port (all ports chamfered and counter bored for O-ring seals) the Sportsman boasts a Teflon diaphragm with a 1.7 sq. in. surface area. This diaphragm effectively reduces fuel pressure fluctuations and is compatible with all fuels.
More Info
Weldon Pump began in 1942 as a division of the Weldon Tool Company
founded in 1918 by Carl Bergstrom. As WWII drew to a close,
so too did Weldon Pump's production as the need for military pumps
was diminishing. Revitalized by a creative and burgeoning
aftermarket, Weldon Pump began production on pumps for
general aviation. Business took off and peaked in 1979 with
the production of over 12,000 aircraft pumps. 1980 brought
about our first high performance marine application and the rest
is history.

[2060] Assessment of BRAF V600E Mutation Status by Immunohistochemistry in Lung and Ovarian Carcinomas
Oluyomi E Kabiawu-Ajise, Julie T Feldstein, Robert Soslow, Douglas Levine, Marc Ladanyi, Maria E Arcila. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY
Background: BRAF mutations are implicated in the pathogenesis of several cancers, including melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), colorectal cancer (CA), thyroid CA, ovarian CA and hairy cell leukemia. The V600E mutation is the most common and is emerging as an important biomarker of prognostic and therapeutic significance. While the BRAF mutation status is most commonly determined by DNA-based methods, the use of immunohistochemistry with a mutation-specific antibody has been recently described in thyroid CA, melanoma and hairy cell leukemias as a highly reliable and cost effective method of screening. Its application in lung ADC and ovarian CA, where the V600E mutation is less frequent, (∼2% and 11%, respectively), is not well described.
Design: We evaluated the performance of the BRAF V600E mutation-specific antibody (clone VE1) in molecularly characterized ovarian serous carcinomas and lung adenocarcinomas. Paraffin embedded tissue blocks were obtained from 154 surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas and 67ovarian serous carcinomas. Tumor samples were prepared in tissue microarrays and stained by immunohistochemistry with the BRAF V600E mutation-specific antibody, clone VE1. Whole tissue sections were analyzed in 16 cases. The pattern of expression was graded based on intensity of cytoplasmic staining in a 0 to 3+ scale and results were correlated with the mutation status as determined by standard DNA-based molecular methods.
Results: A total of 18 BRAF V600E mutated cases had been identified by molecular testing (10 lung, 8 ovary). The staining intensity in BRAF V600E mutated tumor samples ranged from weak (1+) to strong (3+). In lung adenocarcinomas, IHC with the VE1 antibody showed a sensitivity of 60% and a specificity and positive predictive value of 100% using a positivity cut off of 2+. In ovarian tumors, the sensitivity reached 88% with specificity and PPV of 100%. Non-specific, weak and diffuse cytoplasmic staining was identified in 85% and 89% of lung and ovarian cases, respectively, precluding the use of a 1+ cytoplasmic staining cutoff for positivity. Non-specific nuclear staining was also identified in some cases.
Conclusions: Immunohistochemistry using the VE1antibody to BRAF V600E could be used to establish the BRAF mutation status in ovarian and lung carcinomas. However, compared to other malignancies, the sensitivity is lowered by the non specific cytoplasmic staining imparted by mucinous or serous components within these tumors, and therefore negative staining results would not eliminate the need for BRAF mutation analysis, if clinically indicated.

November 30, 2015
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The former host of the televangelist program the "Hour of Power" has testified in bankruptcy court that the ministry he founded owes him for using his creative works in broadcasts and online.
The Rev. Robert H. Schuller testified Wednesday in U.S. District Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles that he never gave up ownership of his written materials and other creative works, although he let Crystal Cathedral Ministries use them for free without receiving royalties.
The 86-year-old Schuller, once among the most well-known televangelists in America, has filed more than $5 million in claims against the ministry in bankruptcy court.
He and his family allege it owes them for unpaid contracts, copyright infringement and intellectual property rights.
Crystal Cathedral Ministries filed for bankruptcy in 2010 citing $50 million in debt.

Against the tumultuous backdrop of Iran's 1953 CIA- and Mi5-backed coup d'état against the democratically-elected president, Mohammad Mossadegh, the destinies of four women converge in a beautiful orchard garden, where they find independence, solace and companionship. Famed cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond will discuss the film afterward with director Shirin Neshat and the film's cinematographer, Martin Gschlacht.
Writes the New York Times, "Every frame of Women Without Men and every image within those frames attest to the background of its first-time director, Shirin Neshat, as a photographer celebrated for her explorations of Islamic gender issues. This visually transfixing film, which originated as a video installation, has the feel of an exhibition of Ms. Neshat's work whose figures have stirred to life to play out a tragic feminist allegory."
Women Without Men is Shirin Neshat's independent film adaptation of Shahrnush Parsipur's magic realist novel. The story chronicles the intertwining lives of four Iranian women during the summer of 1953; a cataclysmic moment in Iranian history when an American led, British backed coup d'état brought down the democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, and reinstalled the Shah to power.
Don't miss this exclusive screening, followed by a lively film discussion and a reception.

Women Without Men screens in the monthly New Voices in Middle Eastern Cinema series, cosponsored by the Hollywood Foriegn Press Association. This series cosponsored by the Harmony Gold Theatre, the Muslim Public Affairs Council's Hollywood Bureau, Cinema Libre Studio, the UCLA Film & Television Archives, the Malibu Film Society and the Southeast European Film Festival. Proceeds benefit the Levantine Cultural Center's programming on interfaith tolerance. The LCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Off The Press
February 2, 2010
By Bob Taylor
I remember meeting my first celebrity several years ago. The occasion was in Al & Ernie's Grocery Store, which had just gone through a massive remodeling. To celebrate the renovation, the owners, Mssrs. Al and Ernie, held a grand opening.
In hopes of attracting customers, the owners hired Kirby Grant, known to television viewers in the 1950s and 1960s as Sky King, to sign autographs.
The problem Al and Ernie soon discovered was that Grant was no longer a big attraction, even in the small southwest Washington community of Battle Ground. Families were flocking to the store but not to Sky King.
Grant's Sky King series, a sort of airplane western, had been shown in reruns on Saturday afternoons for almost seven years. Most farm kids were no longer interested in a cowboy who flew a Cessna 310B that was named the Songbird. Batman was the popular show these days.
Any youngster who walked into the store was urged by the owners to meet Grant, who was sitting in the far corner of the store at a table with a stack of photos. Since I was interested in acting and actors at the time, I walked back to where Grant was sitting. He looked very bored and very lonesome.
I walked up to his table, not knowing what to expect. Would Grant be a snobbish television actor? As I discovered, Grant was very warm and friendly. We talked for a long time, mainly because no other youths were showing up. The first celebrity I met was a real nice person.
For many years, Grant was the only actor I had met until Danny Kaye. Kaye, one of Hollywood's biggest stars, was then one of the owners of the Seattle Mariners, and I was a baseball reporter for the old Journal-American newspaper.
One afternoon when I walked through the Mariners' clubhouse, manager Darrell Johnson, another great guy, asked if I would like to meet Kaye.
"Sure," I said — or at least I think that was my reaction. When I entered Johnson's office, there was Kaye, looking at me and smiling. Darrell said, "This is Bob Taylor, one of the reporters covering the team."
Kaye reached out to shake my hand, and this young, somewhat flabbergasted reporter responded, "Nice to meet you." Kaye just grinned before starting up a conversation. We talked for a few minutes, and then I went out to the Kingdome field to watch batting practice.
The next day when I was watching batting practice, Kaye walked up to me and said, "How's it going Bob?" He remembered my name! Because my wife was a big fan of his, I asked Kaye to autograph a sheet of paper from my notepad for her. He did it gladly. Danny Kaye — another celebrity who was kind and friendly.
Over my 35 years as a reporter, I've had the opportunity to interview and meet many celebrities — mostly from sports. However, during my first year as a reporter, I met Emmy Award-winner Al Swift, who then was director of news and public affairs for Bellingham's KVOS television station.
The meeting took place in a restaurant often frequented by reporters. My editor, who was lunching with Swift, invited me to sit down at their table. Swift looked at me, and then said, "I seldom ever read sports stories, but I read your column this week and I liked it." Swift, who later became a U.S. representative, was another kind and friendly celebrity.
In sports, I have interviewed such Hall of Fame players as Earl Averill, Yogi Berra and Carl Yastrzemski. When I was on the M's beat, I often chatted with future Hall of Fame announcer Dave Niehaus. What a group of great guys!
And this brings me to another celebrity — former Seattle SuperSonic broadcaster Bob Blackburn. The Issaquah resident, who died recently, was without a doubt one of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met in sports.
Yes, there are kind celebrities in this world.

Week two of "Dancing with the Stars" boasted a Latin theme, as the twelve celebrities and their partners faced the first elimination of the season.
On Monday night (September 23), the high score went to "Glee" actress Amber Riley and her pro Derek Hough, who nabbed a score of 24, which added to last week's score combined for a 51.
Tending to her promotional duties for "Dancing with the Stars," Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi hit up the set of "Bethenny" on Friday (September 20).
During her interview with Bethenny Frankel, the former "Jersey Shore" hottie revealed one body part she wants to change.
She had an outstanding showing at the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" last night (September 16) and afterwards Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi rushed off to LAX International Airport to catch an outbound flight.
Joined by fiancé Jionni LaValle, the "Jersey Shore" starlet looked gorgeous in a black and white top with black baggy trousers and a captain's cap as she scurried through the terminal.
It's that time of year again, as ABC premiered season 17 of their smash hit "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday (September 16).
Making for quite an impressive start to the season, all but three contestants managed to pull in scores higher than 20 out of the possible 30.
She's ready to win the coveted mirrorball trophy, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi showed up at rehearsals in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 15) to prepare for the big week ahead.
The pint-sized MTV reality television starlet had her game face on beneath a pair of oversized sunglasses as she strolled up to the studio for an intense workout.
It's hard to believe that it's been twelve years since tragedy struck New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania over the course of mere hours, and while so much has changed since September 11th, 2001, America still mourns the massive losses suffered by so many folks.
On this day of remembrance, some of our favorite celebrities are taking to Twitter to share some love. See what they had to say below.
It's going to be another thrilling installment of "Dancing With the Stars," as the roster for Season 17 is chock full of goodness.
This morning (September 4) ABC announced the lineup on "Good Morning America" and there's a wide variety of dancefloor hopefuls in the mix.
Has Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi been snookered? The reality TV star says a perfume company has stolen the scent of her own self-titled fragrance, "Snooki."
The pint-sized Jersey mom is suing Excell Brands for $2.4 million, claiming it marketed a fragrance it calls "Snazzy"—something that she says smells like "Snooki" and reeks of a rip-off.

Degrassi: Tag your friends on facebook!Posted on 03/26/2010 by Mary
Who's the Emma in your group of friends, and who's the Manny? Who's the Declan and who's the Holly J? We made some Degrassi photo grids for you to grab and tag your friends on facebook, or wheresoever you prefer tagging your friends. (And invite them over for brand new episodes April 2 at 9p et omg!)
Way too many people have graced the halls of Degrassi for one grid, so:
Here's the "new school" version: Holly J, Declan, Fiona, Clare, K.C., Jenna, Sav, Anya, etc.
And here's the "old school" version: Manny, Ellie, Paige, Marco, Ashley, Emma, Craig, Sean, Jay, Heather Sinclair, etc.
Want to nominate someone for a HALO?Posted on 03/26/2010 by Chairman Nick Cannon
Did you think the HALO Awards were done and over? Heck naw, that was just the beginning!
Check out the "HALO effect" 2009 HALO Award Winner Darrius has set off in South Carolina, where he's runnin' it in college and spreading hope and encouragement at a local middle school.
And hey, while I got you here... do you know anyone with a heart as big as Darrius'? Don't be shy, nominate them for a HALO Award!
Degrassi at the KCAs!Posted on 03/24/2010 by Mary
I am in the mood for sharing. Can we share? Ok. I'll go first:
I just heard that Sam Earle (K.C.) and Melinda Shankar (Alli) will both be going to the KCAs on Saturday night!
Ok now you share: Make up a KCA you would give to Sam and Melinda! 'Cause they sure as poop deserve 'em even if they weren't nominated harrumph. Who cares, they don't need no boring old favorite TV actor and actress awards. (I'm gonna give Melinda "Favorite performance of the word 'awesome'." And Sam gets... "Most Believable Cute-Yet-Smart boy.)
Uncle Jesse's last name change.Posted on 03/21/2010 by Mary
Did you know Uncle Jesse's last name changes between season 1 and season 2 of Full House? I didn't until I read one of our message board threads... apparently John Stamos wanted it to be more Greek so they changed it from Cochran to Katsopolis.
If you could change your last name to anything, anything at all... what would it be? ( Points deducted for just using your crush's last name, sorry.) Create your new identity in the comments...
Off like a Degrassi prom dress?Posted on 03/21/2010 by Mary
Maybe it's the uniqueness of the night, the fact that everyone smells so darn good, or that little extra leeway on curfew people get... but why does prom night have this air of "let's make this night special, and by special, I mean SPECIAL"? Do you and/or your friends think there's any reason to go further on prom night than you would on any other night?
(Looks like Anya and Sav might, though I guess there are other factors at work there, too.)
Nina Dobrev on SeventeenPosted on 03/19/2010 by Mary
QueenVicci writes: "I just thought I'd let you know that our baby Mia is ALL GROWN UP NOW! I just saw her on the cover of Seventeen. I really wanted to cross out the 'From Vampire Diaries' and write 'From Degrassi'."
I know, right, QV? WE SAW HER FIRST. But whatevs, if you love someone set them free.
School Gyrls coming soon!Posted on 03/17/2010 by Chairman Nick Cannon
Friends! Romans! What's poppin', it's been a minute! A chairman is a busy thing, lemme tell you. My calendar reminders are going off like popcorn kernels. But I wanted to drop in real quick and remind y'all that my girls (...or should I say my gyrls...) the School Gyrls, will be on TeenNick this Friday night at 9p et.
I'm proud of that movie... it's one of my own special projects. So you'll see me hangin' with those ladies, probing their minds with my incisive questions during the breaks.
And uh... you've already been told Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy are up in that masterpiece, right? Well, you've been told now. So it's your duty... your responsibility to yourSELF... to make sure your butt is on that couch Friday night. We straight? Good.Keep it locked! I miss you, boos! I'll be back soon!

Would you want your uncle at your prom?Posted on 03/15/2010 by Lisa
Is it weird that I feel bad for D.J. from Full House that her Uncle Jesse's band played at her prom and her Aunt Becky was a chaperone? (That episode is on tonight @ 8pm, fyi.) My friend Dan would probably tell me not to feel bad for a fictional character, but I can't help it.
I feel like D.J. would have a lot more fun with a different band and other chaperones. I'm a pretty private person, though. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Would it bother you if your aunt and uncle (or other adult relatives) were hanging out at your prom?
On a sillier note, my favorite thing about the Prom Night episode is this exchange:
"Why is D.J. putting perfume on her ears?" - Michelle
"Must I explain everything? It's so she won't smell like ear sweat." - Stephanie
Ear sweat. Haha.
Sav and Anya BickersonPosted on 03/12/2010 by Mary
Sav and Anya can find pretty much anything to bicker about...or, maybe more accurately, Anya can find anything to pick a fight about with Sav, and Sav can back down and put his tail between his legs on almost any topic.
Do you know any couples like that? ARE you any couples like that?
Good Michelle vs. Bad MichellePosted on 03/09/2010 by Lisa
Anyone out there remember the Full House episode where "Good Michelle" and "Bad Michelle" both offer Michelle advice?
Good Michelle wiggles her finger in a snobby way and says stuff like "Good girls always follow the rules."
Bad Michelle wears a tiny biker jacket and says "Stick a sock in it, goody-pants." Of course I like Bad Michelle better. I seriously wish they'd wrestled it out though. Olsen twin vs. Olsen twin... that'd be better than WrestleMania.
I just asked my inner voices for advice, and here's what they said:
Good Lisa: "You've got lots of work to do. No time for distractions."
Bad Lisa: "Stick a sock in it, worky-pants. Let's go to the park and look for cute boys with cute dogs."
What do your conflicting inner voices say?

SportRack 2EZ Hitch Platform System Reviews
Rick in Denverrated this item 5 out of 5 on 8/7/2013:
I love this rack, even after 21,000 miles of traveling with it ... Atlantic to Pacific to Atlantic and back to Denver. Easy on/off the car, easy on/off with bikes. Without bikes, I can open the trunk with the rack in place. With bikes, I can easily tilt the center post to enable opening the trunk.
Karenrated this item 0 out of 5 on 3/26/2012:
If this rack is as bad as the earlier version, it will rust within 1 year, making the slide bar almost impossible to move, worse though is the link pin with the small retractable ball, which seizes completely and now I cannot use it to lock the vertical bar in place. I have hated this rack since day one! Now looking for something else.
Gonebikingrated this item 3 out of 5 on 6/5/2011:
Good rack but flawed design in that the pin for the vertical arm gets heavy wear and tear if there is only one bike on the rack. Used this rack for an extended trip and due to vibration wore threw the padding and damaged my bike frame. Vertical post needs to drop left or right to prevent play.

What a silly article. Left-leaning viewers prefer left-leaning comedy.
Gee, ya think?
not true; a silly article? the shows make fun of the ridiculous and unthinking statements, regulations, etc. of not only our governing politicos but also of the obnoxious, high and mighty yet misinformed pundits on 24 hour news stations. the shows are very funny, and unfortunately very true.
I was really expecting a lot more out of this article.
both letterman and leno are disgusting in their nonstop belittling of all republicans including their families, and their religion. last night letterman actually made jokes about michelle backmann's husband as captured in a photo where he had an apparent cold sore. this from a level 3 sex offender who can hold no claim to any accomplishment other than being the also ran for johnny carson's replacement. this supreme twit dares to minimize a man who, among other things, has done much for the scores of foster children that he and michelle have cared for. the level of cheap, immature and sophmoric foolishness from both letterman and leno is particularly revolting to those of us who are their contemporaries and have watched them (d)evolve from very funny stand up comedians to self-important, aged, egotists who desperately attempt to remain relevant by appealing to the dumb and dumber audiences whose frame of reference is reality t.v. and espn. i wish they knew what a$$holes they've become. the rest of us watch with disgust mingled with pity and long for tonight show reruns from the time where men were men and comedy didn't come from the quick and dirty technique of humiliating and marginalizing others because it's all you've got.
Hello readers.
As always I'm thankful for the comments and I'm sorry if you didn't get what you expected out of this piece, but the point is not "Left-leaning viewers prefer left-leaning comedy" but rather that voters in moderate swing-voting locales also tend to be fans of shows we think of as "left-leaning." In other words, The Daily Show and Colbert are NOT simply fodder for places that lean Democratic, but have strong viewership in swing-voting places as well. Take a close look at the graphic and the piece. And thanks for reading.
Nice rant! Good to see that you got the point of the article, as it was VERY centered on Leno and Letterman. Here's my personal prescription to remedy your (obvious) angst: Instead of 'watching with disgust mingled with pity and longing for tonight show reruns', TURN OFF THE TV, or better yet, buy some Carson DVDs and barricade yourself in your house to gleefully watch them over and over and over. Either way, you'll spare the rest of us your self-righteous blather.
The title on the home page was misleading. I thought you meant Jimmy and Claudette!
I liked Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand songs and an occasional NPR but I am stile and social libertarian and economic/national defense conservative who think the Democrat Party is Leftist/Socialsit at best and breaking the country and its future so what I enjoy for entertainment has absolutely nothing with how I vote.
Get with it. Pop psychology and marketing freaks may try to pigeon-hole but it has nothing to do with how people spend their money or value their culture.
The two are popular, but they aren't helping. They encourage exactly the sort of twisting of facts and dishonest conversation that plagues modern politics.
John Stewart and Stephen Colbert make their living ridiculing people with commentary masqueraded as insightful and intelligent humor only the erudite sophisticated suburbanite can appreciate. Whatever.
I, too, hoped that this article would be a little more in depth on what exactly Colbert & Stewart's impact is on this current election. I'm part of that demographic of an independent in a swing state in a "Monied Burb" and I do watch both Stewart & Colbert regularly. Sometimes they lean a little too left for me, but most times I find that the sword cuts both ways fairly evenly - as Wyatt Cenac's recent skewering of PETA (I thought he was going to make her cry!) and their lawsuit on behalf of animals that used the 13th amendment as its basis goes to show.
But here I am, an independent voter that both the Republicans and the Democrats are going to need to win. I get survey calls all the time as they try to figure out what it's going to take to woo me. Both sides are asking the wrong questions. Yes, I want to be fiscally conservative, but I don't believe that all government is bad. Yes, I definitely agree with Colbert that the Citizens United ruling is a horrible mistake and is ruining politics in this country. I'm sickened by the amount of money and influence of special interests - which maybe has been behind the scenes all along, but is now blatantly obvious.
But I'm also not going to vote for a hater. Most of the Tea Party candidates are haters - they hate women, they hate gays, they hate the poor. I just can't stomach supporting anyone whose social agenda is to return us to medieval times - on any front on the social agenda. But guess what, Democrats? That doesn't mean I whole-heartedly support unions' agendas or a welfare state or free health care for all either.
Stewart has his own politics, but he's very open about whatever his personal agenda or beef is, and I can live with that - it makes it easy to tell when he's being opinionated and when he's just skewering the mass of hypocrites out there. And there are just as many of those spouting nonsense on MSNBC as there are on Fox. In this crazy world of extreme positions, he and Colbert are the only sane voices out there. Which is insane, when you think about it.
I hoped that this article was going to delve more into us silent middle types - the ones whose voices are getting lost in the noise of extremists on both sides.
5:11 oh boo hoo. another liberal who won't tolerate an opinion different from his own. supreme hypocrite, emblematic of the brand.
The map is a little hard to read or find the centers referred to in the article.... But, even with tis fault, I think the impact of the article is understated... Stewart and Colbert are regularly excerpted on other shows and most importantly channels.... and this doesn't even count the relpays on Comedy Central or the web based views and excerpts.
We need to purge the white genes out of politics - vote all honkeys out in 2012!
"It's humor with a strong political point of view." No, it is ridicule, a favorite tool of the left and second only to calling those who disagree with them racists.
nikki you are a walking example of a person who hears the mainstream rhetoric without questioning.
you seem not to engage your brain to the extent where you contemplate the veracity of what is being presented as fact. you need to think more and do your own research, because you clearly don't know what you are talking about and are merely parrotting people who lie and misrepresent. get going nkki, it is your resonsibility to think. this is a great time to start.
...devotees of Fox News complain about how other networks are biased.....
I, for one, never miss The Daily Show or Stephen Colbert. I only wish more voters would watch these shows because they are very adept at pointing out past and present interviews with politicians, political commentators, and the like. These programs are very enlightening and informative while showcasing their unique brand of humor. It is amazing how the subjects involved have done so many about-faces on various topics.
Liberals dismiss everyone who disagrees with them as devotees of Fox News.
There is nothing a liberal fears more than honest conversation with someone who disagrees with him.
nikki, do yourself a favor and count the number of times you used "me" and "I" in your rank. BTW, it is abundantly clear to the rest of us, if not to you, that you are not independent. That masquerade ended when you posted.
Colbert and Stewart are the epitome of what they lampoon. They take snippets of fact out of context in order to make positions they don't like seem absurd. They do this for their own profit. And they profit a lot. They've driven political discourse down another few notches, as if it wasn't bad enough already.
And like the politicians, they have legions of home-team fanboys who praise their every move without question and viciously condemn all who criticize them.
Tim Russert would be proud of Stewart and Colbert. They are the only "journalists" left that hold politicians to their prior statements. We need more intelligent commentators like these two.
Late night comedy shows are 100% biased for the liberal Democrats. They get a kick out of these fake news stooges mocking and name calling Republicand and Christians. The shows are moronic and hand picked for a liberal low class audience that will laugh at everything and anything they do.
Level 3 sex offender? You, like many Republicans and Teabaggers make it way too easy to laugh at your inability to see and think outside your bubble. You're fighting for your vision of America unfortunately you are on the wrong side of history again. Your grandkids will see a married gay man or woman as POTUS. Enjoy that as you watch another lame Tonight Show rerun with Johnny interviewing winners of the national bird call contest. Keep an eye out for episodes with Floyd R. Turbo.
Ironic, that you would complain of others living in a bubble.
To JD:
The difference with the Stewart/Colbert audience is they are in on the joke. They KNOW the messages aren being cherry-picked for laughs. If they didn't know the news they wouldn't get the jokes.
By the way its a COMEDY SHOW not the news.
The news is no longer existent in any meaningful way on television...
The article's trying to simplify, reduce and stereotype people. Leave it to a republican-leaning paper to be left scratching its head wondering how these shows' audiences might have more than one dimension to them.
Well, here's one voice from the monied burbs: It is the humor. Many people respond to humor. Even the more enlightened among conservatives do. Most conservative take money, themselves, their religion, and their politics too seriously. Yes, life's too serious to make light, but not for everyone.
"Most conservative take money, themselves, their religion, and their politics too seriously" - you mean, they take things you don't care about more seriously than you do? Scandalous!
Meanwhile, you take other things more seriously than they do, and probably whine when they call you on it.
Typical liberal:
Condemn all conservative messaging. Rant against how it's financed. Try to ban its financing. Condemn the venues. Condemn the settings. Condemn the motives. Condemn everything!
Then litter all manner of entertainment, media, end even our schools with liberal messaging. When people complain, say "don't take it so seriously!" or "it's just humor!" Act like people who disagree are being absurd and paranoid.
Finally, pretend there is no hypocrisy here.
Who are the funny republicans an conservatives?
Ann Coulter?
Cannot think of right wingers who make me laugh
After reading, yes she did have chorioamnionitis and it is treatable. She is lying. It is treated with IV antibiotics. If the white count is too high and sepsis seems evident (which it probably was) the other treatment is to terminate the pregnancy or deliver the baby. In this case, they terminated. This is how late-term abortions are performed. You do not terminate at 20 weeks with a D&C. Good heavens. I think everyone should work L&D and a NICU before being allowed to express an opinion*
Glenn Beck is funny, although he doesn't mean to be. But you're right. I can't think of any comedians who parody the left. Many who comment on the WSJ articles parody the left, as when they refer to Obama as the king or messiah, but it's not meant to be funny. This is really odd. I wonder if it has to do with Poe's law: Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake it for the genuine article.
do not take their impact lightly. Obama will win in November.
I would agree with many of the S&C supporters IF they treated both sides equally. Where is the lampoon of Reid saying the First Amendment doesn't matter? How about Geithner saying that the Administration has no (economic) plan?
Imagine if Boehner or McConnell had made these statements. Now defend them as unbiased.
See what we mean? The comments of rightists and republican defenders are pompous, bitter and moralizing holier than thou dribble.
Not funny or clever at all.
Easy to make fun of that.
Yeah Julia Gomez, I guess you prefer living in a Third World country.
What is really scarey my young niece thought that these were real news shows and believed every word. Fortunately, as she became educated, recently got her doctorate, she now thinks the 2 shows are pretty dumb.
I watched them, and frankly they just weren't funny, just kind of stupid, like Beavis and Butthead.
So I don't watch them anymore. I don't even watch Fox News, definitely not MSNBC or CNN or other Obama State Run news.
But obviously I read the WSJ.
I am beginning to think watching TV and reading the "news" on the internet are a waste of my time.
The common thread that Messrs. Stewart and Colbert provide is to illustrate the hypocracies and weaknesses shared by all of our elected leaders, albeit with a strong slant toward bashing Republicans. I was once shocked however, when Colbert referred to Obama as a "disappointing Democrat". Whatever your personal slant, Stewart and Colbert provide entertaining and refreshing "coverage".
Colbert and Stewart are amazingly refreshing voices to a world that increasingly seems to be becoming insane and hateful. Restoring sanity was a fitting cry for their rally.
I can't wait for the evening when Stewart and Colbert do segments about the readers' comments on WSJ articles.
Late night carries water for Obama and they don't have to be honest or accurate because they are comedy but even writers for WSJ admit they have an effect. Well then they should have to be honest and accurate. Stewarts whole argument has always been I'm a comedian no one takes me seriosly but apparently the left does.
Dreck for intellectuals with an IQ in the high two digits.
Colbert and Stewart are not afraid to pick on Democrats or Republicans. The Republicans are more likely to think it is unfair to pick on them. The Republican current stances are more likely to defy scientific logic and concern with humanity, also making them an easier target.
You need to have a highly creative brain and free time in order to imagine Obama's policies working. Those who's brains are only focused on the real world due to time constraints or lack of PhDs in underwater basket weaving (because a college education is a college education after all) just can't see his 'genius'. So they aren't 'hip' enough to consume the confirmation bias porn of the Daily Show and Colbert. I can't help but notice this article exposes more about the author's biases and narrow world view than anything else.
The parents in Monied Burbs counties tend to send their kids to college in the Campus And Careers counties. And if that Underwater Basketweaving Grievance Studies degree isn't making Junior employable, he moves back home. Are the Colbert/Stewart watchers in the Monied Burbs the parents, or the former Campus and Careers residents watching in the basement?
It just goes to show how simple minds follow simple minds.
Mocking is only funny to people that think they are so good they can control the climate.
Another inscrutable graphic from the WSJ! It is impossible to draw any conclusions from the information given here. Just trying to get everyone riled up and apparently it works. Those who worry about how late night TeeVee affects national politics need to chill!
dear peg, it is up to you to make decisions based on these articles and as much other information as you can get. it's your responsibility to think and conclude. you must be a democrat, since you obviously expect others to do it for you and are happy with that.
Sheep watch these shows. Tell me anything and I will follow you anywhere.
Or that the GOP message is deeply flawed and morally bankrupt and the monied burbs are on to it.
Interestingly good piece.
This article sounds fresh trying to substantiate the claim that Stewart/Colbert have a liberal bent. There is no question about that and the shows make that amply clear.
I was hoping to see numbers about Stewart/Colbert viewership, but the Patchwork graph only has a generic demographic breakdown. Where is the data to substantiate the claim in this article about strong viewership in swing states?
Comedy is tragedy dressed up to go to a party. The Sad excuses that the Republicans are offering as viable candidates would be funny if it were not so tragic.
You can fight invective with more invective but the only answer to comedy is more comedy. The comedy that is the current Republican contest is a tragedy in the making.
I grew up with Johnny Carson when the political shots were in good humor, when Jay Leno took over he was fine until 2004 when he started to get partisan (D). I watched less and less and when he really got snarky and jumped the shark for Obama in 2008 I just tuned out. I've watched one or two nights since he has come back but again he was always punching away at the GOP and nothing to say about Obama. I just don't watch anymore although I used to like to unwind at the end of the day with the Tonight Show with some gratuitous laughs and gags, but when it starts becoming nasty and partisan I'm not interested.
Wow. The utter inanity of comments in this thread is mind boggling. Getting all riled up over the Colbert's and Daley's humor is kinda like writing to the tv networks to complain about the political innuendo in Bullwinkle. Get a life folks, the world is passing by.
Both of these individuals, but especially Mr. Colbert are all about the argument. They are very adept at breaking down any position to expose its foundation. They do it to both parties, but unfortunately republican positions are poorly thought out, or not based on factual information, more often. It would be hard not to appear liberal under the current circumstances. If our republican candidates were smarter, Stewart and Dailey might be out of a job. For the record, I voted for Reagan and George Senior. We have not had a serious conservative candidate since.
Ridicule, unfair or justified, can be a powerful force in politics. It bypasses rational functions and engages people on an emotional level where their capacity to be critical is compromised. It's not surprising, therefore, that Colbert and Stewart are powerful political players. I think it says something about our society and how it deals with complex issues and what it says is not reassuring.
Gingrich, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain---these are the real comedians. I'd include Romney but I can't quite grasp the irony of someone so stiff and serious and geeky being a comedian.
McCain and Palin were quite an absurd pair and BO handled them pretty well.
Why, out of such a serious, angry population of conservatives, is there no heavyweight contender? Why are we arguing over the impact of comedians on politics, especially when the problems of the times are so serious?
Do people of intelligence actually take these jokers seriously? No wonder Democrats want to continue to siphon education dollars away from classrooms and to the Department of Education bureaucracy and marble halls. An ignorant electorate will believe anything.
Colbert & Stewart are the modern day versions of Will Rogers ("I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat.")
If they can help elect the next FDR, we'll all be better off.

Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments
- List of Diseases -
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common genetic disorders in the United States. It affects primarily Caucasians of Northern European descent. An estimated 30,000 children are affected and 1 out of 31 Americans are symptom-free carriers.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on chromosome 7. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. CF affects primarily exocrine glands, including respiratory, pancreatic, salivary and sweat glands. In the respiratory system, CF affects the mucus-secreting glands, causing it to produce unusually thick secretions that line the air passageways. Excess mucus causes the air passageways to become clogged, making breathing difficult. It also creates an environment conducive to bacterial growth. In the pancreatic system, CF blocks essential digestive enzymes from the pancreas in reaching the bowel, creating improper absorption of fats and nutrients. CF also increases the amount of salt and chloride in sweat.
The onset and severity of symptoms of CF varies. In infants, it is characterized by vomiting, abdominal swelling, blockage of the small intestines, poor growth, and abnormally large and foul smelling stools that contain excess fat and nutrients due to malabsorption. Onset of CF during childhood could result in chronic coughing, sleep disturbances, wheezing, chronic inflammation of airways, and recurrent lung infections. Progression of the disease may result in permanent lung damage, respiratory failure and/or heart failure.
A standard diagnostic test for CF is the sweat test. The sweat test measures the concentration of salt in the sweat of an individual. Very high concentration of salt in the sweat is a good indicator of CF and further genetic tests can be performed to verify the diagnosis.
Treatment for CF includes removal of the excess mucus. Antibiotics are often used to treat lung infections and affected individuals are generally placed on an enriched diet, supplemented with vitamins, to ensure that they are getting the proper amount of nutrients. Gene therapy is also currently being explored as an option for patients.
Due to the high frequency of carriers among Americans, testing is strongly recommended to those with a family history of Cystic Fibrosis. Recently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists urged Congress to provide for CF testing of everyone who plans to have a child. Affected couples should also consider Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). PGD tests an embryo for genetic defects before implantation. PGD ensures couples that their children will not inherit the disease.

Winter Staff Picks: Ian Is Ready To Tickle His Pickle!
Next up for evo WINTER STAFF Picks is Ian Kose
He's a photographer, he models (for real), and he's a Photoshop wizard. He loves fresh spring water, and wearing beanies year round. He's soft spoken and outgoing all at the same time. He loves skateboarding, rollercoasters, Beaverton Sub Station (seriously, he goes to Oregon for sandwiches, but I have driven to Whistler for a Splitz Burger, so guess we are even), and if you don't hear him laugh at least a quarter of the day, something is wrong. He's Ian and this is the stuff he really likes.
Oh… and he likes red, white, and blue… can you tell?

What do you do at evo:
I'm a photo coordinator in the product information team, and I make sure you guys are looking at the most beautiful pictures of snowboards and ski jackets you've ever seen.
What kind of terrain do you ride:
Northwestern. Pacific to be precise. With some park on the side.
Give me an evo memory:
The evo Hired Hands Gallery was exciting to see. Who knew there was so much talent I'm surrounded by every day? I'm stoked for next year's that's for sure. And 10 out of 10 people will agree the 10 year party was legendary.
Here are Ian's picks:
The GNU Park Pickle is what I'll be riding this year. Super fun park style board with a flex rating of 5.5-6, Magne-traction, sintered base, and the best part is it's made in the Northwest!
Union Asadachi Snowboard Bindings:
Stay classy this year with the Union Asadachi Binding. Besides having a sophisticated wood grain look, these bindings are mega-ultra lightweight, come with a lifetime warranty for the base plates, symmetrical shape, asymmetrical flex, and are made out of recycled materials. Truly an all mountain attacker.
They're Burton, they're Gore-Tex®, they're leather, and they're under 100 bucks. No brainer.
ThirtyTwo Prion Snowboard Boots:
Ben Carson* taught me that a prion is an infectious protein that can't be destroyed. Ever. Which is good news for me because these are the boots I'll be rocking this season. Durable, flexy but supportive, comfy and warm, as well as lightweight. You can't pass up the price point, or the jumpman elephant print.
*(I had no idea who Ben Carson was either…according to wiki, he is an American neurosurgeon and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States by President George W. Bush in 2008.)
I've always been a fan of Airblaster. A Portland (put a bird on it) based company ! All of their outerwear is constructed really well. It's simple but will grab attention on the mountain. I have long arms, so the "no short-fat" fit is dope.
Ride Belltowns! Crispy, plenty warm and waterproof, classic fit, and it's got Belltown in the name! Sound familiar Seattle?
They're blue!!
-Thanks Ian, that was enlightening. Find all of his picks on evo.com or come into evo Seattle and be sure to check all the other cool stuff we have from Burton, VonZipper, Ride, Airblaster, ThirtyTwo, GNU, and Union.

Ramming Riley
This is our bud Riley, a 6' tall, local 22-year old guy with a lean, hard, sexy body and big 8-inch thick cut cock. Oh, and an ass that Hunter couldn't keep his face out of. But best of all, he is a real open and honest guy with a sweet and funny personality. We ate him up! As you'll see, our boy Riley gives off a very hot fun sexy vibe. In this video you will see some shocking stuff, so be warned. Hunter and I were pretty hard core, very rough, and very verbal with our new buddy Riley, per his request. That's what he wanted and that's what we gave him. It just so happens that it's also what we love to do; for us to get to be be dominant and aggressive in bed is super-charged sex for us. When a guy requests it, it's a dream come true, lol. Our buddy Riley was very nervous about doing a video at first, but he quickly warmed up to the camera and had an excellent time. I have never seen anyone cum so hard and for so long while getting fucked. I was soaked in his cum as he rode my cock spurting all over the place, a scene not to be missed. In this video, you will see us training him to deep throat thick cock till he gags and finally gets it right (with lots of verbal commands, too). You will see some real hard-core face fucking, gagging, cock face slapping, hand face and ass slapping. And then of course; deep, aggressive fucking! We train him how to take cock in the ass like a champ. We showed him our favorite way to screw; hand over mouth, face down, "prison style". We treated him like our prison bitch boy and he loved it. We fucked him face down, while he bites a pillow, and then face up, doggie style and every other way we could nail his sweet hole. Speaking of his hole, this guy has a beautiful one; it's pink and tight with just enough hair to make it perfect. We loved his little round ass and enthusiastic vibe in bed, and we hope he comes back for more. Leave him some love here under this video. Tell him what you think of his sweet ass, pretty boy persona, and huge cock. And tell him to come back for more!

Mining | Equipment & Manufacturers |
The world of mining has more than seven thousand producing mines around the globe and every year we can find that there are more quickly progressing and being developed. These mines give us the raw materials needed for the construction, manufacturing and industries of chemicals and the majority of the minerals of energy upon which our everyday life is so needed of. The amount of mines and mills previously mentioned gives us most of the things we hardly take notice of nowadays. From the seven thousand mines you can get all the materials needed in metals used for household products, airplanes, buildings and cars which you can find everywhere. Somewhere in the world there is some mining operation which gives us most of the gold or raw materials for our chemical and building industries and even the uranium and coal which give us much of the electricity that we use in our everyday consumption.
The typical mining areas of Eastern Europe have historical bearings as well as the fields of tin which are found and found in England are the cradles of the technologies of mineral processing, mining, and metallurgical processes even though there is a decline of mining in Europe. In several countries which have had their histories very much enlightened by the earliest of trade and mineral production. The Phoenicians went about with a lot of their trading and traveled long distances from their homes to Montreal for tin. The Greeks largely used silver which was produced at Fortis to finance their wars against the Persian Empire. The Roman Empire produced copper at Rio Tinto which is an area that is in operation even nowadays.
In both, ancient and modern time history, what has been the main factor in many great events and whose process has determined the most part of the world's economic demography and geography has been the search for precious stones, metals and other minerals. Most of the countries of the world which are in development export their riches in minerals to the countries of the world which are considered developed and trade it for foreign currency, allowing minerals to play an important role in international trading.
Drill baby drill while you watch the price of silver.

Brothers Hank, left, and Simon Heidrich of Four Seasons Tent Rental set up a party tent at a client's Ludlow home Thursday. Simon Heidrich purchased Four Seasons Tent Rental in January 2010.
- Filed Under
Simon Heidrich knew he was entering a highly competitive market when he bought Four Seasons Tent Rental in January 2010. But with several years of experience in the food, beverage and hospitality industry, he thought the best way to differentiate his business from the competition was to be a full-service event rental service with a deep commitment to customer service.
Heidrich was entering what is nationally a multimillion-dollar industry, where differentiation can be difficult. There are approximately 50 vendors that do all or some combination of tent rentals, lighting, staging and ...

ESPN analyst Davis breaks down Pitt's chances vs. No. 11 Florida State
ACC Videos
Florida State is Florida State, which means Pitt isn't facing a typical season-opening opponent Monday night at Heinz Field. FSU is No. 11 in the AP Top 25 preseason poll after finishing 10th last year and 17th in 2010.
Playing the first ACC game in school history at home should help Pitt compete against the Seminoles, ESPN broadcaster Rece Davis said. ThePanthers, an 11-point underdog, are coming off back-to-back 6-7 seasons and seeking their first winning campaign in three years.
"I actually think that Florida State will have a tough time, particularly running the ball," said Davis, who, with David Pollack and Jesse Palmer, will call the 8 p.m. game. "Pitt's going to be physical and tough. It will be a challenge for Florida State's offense in the early going.
"You get into the fourth quarter and give yourself a chance, sometimes crazy things happen," Davis added. "You don't have to be the best team in the country. You just have to be the best team in the stadium that night."
Pressed to make a prediction, Davis picked FSU to win.
"I think Pitt's going to hang in there and make it a tough game. But I would probably be less than forthright if I told you that Pitt will win," Davis said. "I think Florida State is being a little undervalued nationally. I have Florida State picked to win the ACC, and I'm not going to be surprised if they play in the national championship game. From talking to Florida State's players, I definitely think Pitt has their full attention. And I don't know how well Pitt's offense is going to move the ball."
Regarding Pitt's offense, Davis is eager to watch senior quarterback Tom Savage, who reinvented himself following success early in his career at Rutgers. Two schools later, Savage will direct the Panthers' offense.
"I remember when Savage came out of high school how highly regarded he was," Davis said, "what kind of tools he has in terms of being able to throw. (Pitt coach) Paul Chryst has always done a marvelous job of putting his quarterback in position to build confidence."
Davis believes FSU's superior team speed will be a determining factor. While the Panthers always have faced opponents with fast players, the ACC in general — and FSU in particular — offers new challenges.
"It's not that there weren't skill players in the old Big East," Davis said. "I just think they're going to see more of them on a more consistent basis, week in and week out, in the ACC."
Davis appreciates how Chryst is building Pitt's program in his image. Citing how Chryst handled the cases of Rushel Shell, Tra'Von Chapman and Ronald Jones, Davis believes Chryst's hard-line approach with those players enhances the rebuilding process.
"When you are a coach establishing your program, there is no one player that can be more important than you establishing that you are running the show," Davis said. "Not to be some tough, dictator-type. But your need to establish boundaries, set the tone for who's in charge. I think Paul is the kind of guy who will adhere to his standards, who will not compromise. The program in the long run will be much better for it."

Adreinne Maloof Skipping 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Reunion Taping?
by Tracy Phillips | March 1, 2013 at 6:11 PM | The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Adrienne Maloof is really over "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
The embattled cast member had a very rocky road this season, and she doesn't care to re-live it in the infamous "Real Housewives" reunion special, which is set to tape Friday night in Los Angeles.
Sources claim Maloof, 51, is likely to skip the scene altogether, according to Us Weekly.
"She doesn't need that kind of negativity in her life," an insider tells Us Weekly.
"Even though Adrienne is contractually obligated to go, her lawyers have told her she doesn't have to because Bravo breached the contract by revealing details of the surrogacy of her twin sons," another insider tells Radar Online. "If Adrienne thought it would be a healthy environment, she wouldn't be considering not going."
Season 3 saw the end of Adrienne's marriage to Paul Nassif, a lawsuit-threatening war with co-star Brandi Glanville, not to mention feeling the shade from Lisa Vanderpump and Taylor Armstrong, and a very personal family secret exposed (she used a surrogate to carry her 9-year-old twin sons, something she'd never discussed publicly).

Hotels in Mauritius
A resort halfway around the world had better offer something spectacular, and the Four Seasons Mauritius does just that on an island already known for its five-star hotels.
A Moorish-style two-bedroom villa built a century ago by British governor Hesketh Bell. Play castaway on deserted beaches, go for a ride in the crewed speedboat, ask the 24-hour butler for a poolside lobster lunch or tandoori chicken and grilled marlin served in the marble dining room.
The 17-foot-high beach tepee is decked out with beads, streaming ribbons, and embroidered patches—a look designer Alice Temperley likens to "a jewelry box that glistens in the sand." One & Only offers cookouts by the tent—marshmallows included—served by a liveried butler.

Obama vows to bring killers of ambassador to justice
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is condemning in the "strongest possible terms" an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including the American ambassador.
Obama on Wednesday said the U.S. will work with the Libyan government to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice. He says "no acts of terror" will shake America's resolve.
Obama said the U.S. rejects any efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, but says there is "absolutely no justification" for violent attacks.
Chris Stevens was killed, Libyan officials say, when he and embassy aides went to the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, which was under attack by protesters angry over a film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
Obama was notified that Stevens was unaccounted for Tuesday night and was told of his death Wednesday morning.

Giants Bid Farewell to the Kung Fu Panda
It was a bittersweet day for Giants fans, as they waved a solemn goodbye to one of the most beloved players in the history of San Francisco sports. This morning it was announced that third baseman Pablo Sandoval had agreed to a five-year contract with the Boston Red Sox for
Pablo Sandoval Rejects Giants' Qualifying Offer, Becomes Free Agent
It's not exactly stop-the-presses material, but, in case there was ever any doubt, Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval is officially a free agent. In what is largely procedural fooferah, the Giants extended a $15.3 million qualifying offer to Sandoval, which he rejected yesterday, making him a free agent and immediately
Bumgarner Regains Control in Giants Win
In game two of today's games, San Francisco Giants' (67-59) starter, Madison Bumgarner (14-9, 3.17 ERA) dominated the Chicago Cubs (55-72) after a rocky start in the first inning. Bumgarner struggled early in the first, giving up back-to-back home runs to Justin Ruggiano and Wellington Castillo, to give the Cubs
Lincecum's Early Exit, Royals Complete Sweep 7-4
Tim Lincecum (9-7, 4.22 ERA) struggled mightily in Sunday's start and the Giants' offense was outmatched, completing the sweep for the Royals 7-4. With a day game following a night game, Bruce Bochy trotted out several recent call-ups with an infield roster containing Matt Duffy, Joe Panik, Adam Duvall, and
Brewers Top Giants 4-3
If there is one thing the San Francisco Giants (61-52) have been doing on this 10-game road trip is building momentum. Sounds strange considering a team should be building momentum on their home field but for the Giants, a break away from AT&T seems to be doing the trick. Well,
Bumgarner Tosses Complete Game Shutout, Giants Bring Out The Big Bats
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner led the way to the victory against veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon and the Mets with a final score of 9-0. Bumgarner was tremendous, throwing the second complete game of the series against New York after Ryan Vogelsong had his bid on Friday. This also marked Bumagarner's
Late Inning Homers From Morse And Belt Topple Padres
It wasn't easy and it wasn't particularly pretty but the Giants snapped their 3-game losing streak with multiple home runs, defeating the Padres 5-3. Given the free-fall that happened in June, it's surprising that the Giants were only sitting one back from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West
Giants Lose Sixth Straight Game, Fall to Diamondbacks 4-1
The June swoon seems to be in full effect as the Giants drop their sixth straight game and fall to the Diamondbacks 4-1. Their sixth loss marks a season-high and San Francisco is now one for their last ten games. With Tim Lincecum (5-4, .481) versus the D-back's Josh Collmenter
Wacha silences Giants offense, Cardinals defeat Giants 2-0
Hot bats were silenced by the Cardinals' young postseason hero Michael Wacha as he took down fill-in pitcher Yusmeiro Petit and the Giants, 2-0. Michael Morse (1-for-4) stayed hot with a double in the second inning but two fly outs and a strike out left him stranded on base. Morse has
Recap: Bumgarner And Key Hitting Gives Giants 9-4 Win
When two of the most successful franchises in baseball squared up for Friday night baseball, you knew you were in for a fantastic game. When the starters are Madison Bumgarner (who's been hot the month of May with a 4-0 record, 2.53 ERA) and Cardinals' Adam Wainwright (who is currently
