Crazy Video: F1 Chief's 'Nazi Orgy' With Hookers
If it wasn't real, you'd swear the Lifetime channel had turned rather vicious over the last year. First, the world receives the gift that kept giving: Sen.

Now, just to prove that the British do sex scandal better than anyone, FIA President and Formula One Racing President Max Mosley destroyed fifty years of separation between himself and his fascist father's past by recently being filmed re-enacting Holocaust death camp scenes for five hours with five prostitutes in London (NSFW unless you work in a bunker).

Re: when do we get a running back?
theres way more pressing needs IMO...instead of a 3rd or 4th place RB how about a 1st place SAM..or someone to Spell AC...maybe someone to add into the TE mix.. a development QB...or someone to groom behind Little at DE..as for WR, maybe worth a flyer on one but i hope we add a vet either from the next wave of cuts or one already a F.A....a trade with one of next years picks shouldnt be ruled out...im fine with us adding a RB to the mix but i hope its later than the 5th...
there are many good prospects still available at more pressing areas of concern.
we were never gonna fill all our holes in this draft but the draft isnt the last chance of adding players so im cool..hope you guys can be too..

OT Alex Boone anyone?
OT Alex Boone anyone? CB Bradley Fletcher had a DUI arrest and was still picked.
He would be great OT depth for late round pick. Was thought to go in late first round. Could be a great still in draft.

Great buy
posted 7 years ago
We bought this after deciding to buy dogfood in bulk. This was one of the best buys we ever have made. We have already put this through the tortures of the damned and its still in almost perfect condition.
Pros: Solid construction and virtually break proof
Cons: none

We have used a few different food containers. This is the last one we bought. Easy open lid, withstands normal abuse, and I feel it could withstand above normal abuse, solid, constructed to prevent attracting ants or anything like that.
Pros: Durable
Cons: None

2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
This is my 2nd Ram. I had a 2008 4x4 Regular Cab Sport that was a great truck. I saw this 2010 Quad Cab in Blue (online) and gave it a look-see. The power was even better than the 2008. I did well on the trade (the Red 2008 was in perfect condition) so I took it home. I started noticing the body creak/rattle almost immediately. Everything else is great-features, colors, interior fit and finish-just that creak. I go next week for a 3000 mile service (yes, the manual says 6000) so we'll see if they can correct my problem. More to come (good news-I hope)
Interior Colors, console-shift, Information system, better mileage than my previous Ram, Quad Cab has good room for passengers, under-seat storage is great. 5.7 Hemi is quicker, gets slightly better MPG and should improve (or so I'm told)
That Creak/Rattle sound on passenger side is disturbing. A couple of chat sites found by Google search says it is part of suspension "improvements" and can be corrected. Let's hope.
Our truck has the 5.7 Hemi. The MDS system took some getting used to, especially in town. The power is impressive and the available storage is nice. The ride is very comfortable.
MDS system is effective in improving fuel efficiency. Plenty of room in the rear seat.
Power pedal button could be better located. MDS system could be a tad smoother.
I drove them all and much to my surprise the Ram came out on top. The F150s are slow, noisy and thirsty, the GMs just aren't put together as well as the Ram and have a terrible interior. Won't ever go back to Tundra! This is the best riding & best performing truck I found. Towed 5600 lbs. so far, handles like a dream. Lots of power! The engine & tranny are super quiet & smooth. Very smart looking & quiet interior. Doors close solid & all hardware seems a notch above others. Impeccable assembly quality. Handles great with the 20-inch tires. Excellent braking, even with a load. Best gas MPG so far was 21.4 MPG. Local average 17+. Total average is 17.9. Never liked a truck so much!
The Hemi, transmission with TRS, solid body, interior quietness, on the road smoothness, ease of handling. Believe it or not, no wind noise. Flawless assembly. All controls are in easy reach. I opted for the dealer installed Bedrug which was a wise decision.
Really not much to complain about. The Rams are taller than the others and it is a complaint of my wife's, but after driving the others she said she still prefers the Ram. We'll probably add step bars. I wish the EVIC display would default to the last setting and the console had a lock.
I was towing with a 2004 Jeep GC with the 235 horse/ 295 ft lbs 4.7. I had a chance to move up to the Dodge truck as a more stable towing platform. I didn't NEED the hemi so I opted for the 310 horse / 330 ft lbs 4.7 ( big difference). I did get the 3.92 anti-spin rear and the full towing package. It is rated to tow 7300 lbs. I got 15 mpg around town and as of yet haven't had a chance to drive it solo on the highway. I got 10-11 while towing my 28 ft trailer. I should be able to knock off 20 mpg on the highway as it is taching 1800 rpm @ 60 mph. I towed in 4th gear pulling 2500 rpm at 61 mph.
Much more powerful 4.7 , good turning radius. Very QUIET ride , soft ride with the coil springs, large center console, 2 glove boxes , exterior looks sharp.
Owners manual seems sparse with info. There was nothing about the tow haul mode or how it works.
I traded my 2008 Bighorn 4.7 for my new 2010 Bighorn Hemi. Man what a difference!!! Only one word comes to mind to discribe the 2010; WOW! Totally different from the 2008. The comfort and drive can compare easily with any of the 13 Lincolns I have owned over the years. The touch- screen is too cool. 30 Gig harddrive. I can record 6700 songs. I have been copying my CD's. I have 8 so far on my Playlist. The quality of the sound system is the best I have heard in any vehicle. Not to mention the 390 hp Hemi. Beautiful truck.
Where do I begin??????? As the quote goes," I gotta get me one of these."
I haven't hit 75 miles yet and I know the gas milage sucks which was close to the milage I got from my 2008 with the 4.7 engine, but hey, ya gotta pay for the rush!!!

The Case for Free Trade:
Old Theories, New Evidence
For more than two centuries, economists have pointed out the benefits of free trade and the costs of trade restrictions. As Adam Smith argued more than two centuries ago, "All commerce that is carried on betwixt any two countries must necessarily be advantageous to both," and therefore "all duties, customs, and excise [on imports] should be abolished, and free commerce and liberty of exchange should be allowed with all nations."1 The economic case for free trade, however, is not based on outdated theories in musty old books. The classic insights into the nature of economic exchange between countries have been refined and updated over the years to retain their relevance to today's circumstances. More important, over the past decade economists have gathered extensive empirical evidence that contributes appreciably to our understanding of the advantages of free trade. This chapter reviews the classic theories and examines the new evidence, noting as well the qualifications to the case for free trade.
The traditional case for free trade is based on the gains from specialization and exchange. These gains are easily understood at the level of the individual. Most people do not produce for themselves even a fraction of the goods they consume. Rather, we earn an income by specializing in certain activities and then using our earnings to purchase various goods and services—food, clothing, housing, health care—produced by others.
1 Smith 1978, 511, 514.
