ESPN FC "Liverpool continue to be left frustrated in their efforts to offload unwanted stars Jose Enrique, Fabio Borini and Mario Balotelli.

Liverpool Echo "Fabio Borini insists he has not given up on his Liverpool FC career. The on-loan Italian striker was Sunderland's derby day match-winner when he came off the bench to score the decisive goal in Sunday's 2-1 success over Newcastle - his first strike for the Black Cats. That matches his..." October 29
Daily Star "Fabio Borini should have stayed at Roma rather than join Liverpool last summer according to the striker's agent.

What You Need to Know About Latency Before the Holiday Season
The holiday season is fast approaching, which for many businesses is a critical time of year to boost sales and profitability. There are a lot of factors business owners consider as the holiday season approaches, such as how to target different types of shoppers and what types of discounts to offer. However, all of those efforts could be in vain if your website and mobile app aren't up to par, and latency starts turning your customers away. Why is latency such a big deal and how does it affect your bottom line? Read on for the facts.
Consumer Attention is at an All-time Low
Today's consumer is inundated with ads and promotions from hundreds of retailers trying to get their attention. With so many distractions and options, retailers that fail to offer what the consumer is looking for in a timely manner will be passed over for a retailer who better understands the need of the consumer and able to meet those needs more quickly. In a report by IBM, it was found that over a twelve-month period from 2012 to 2013, the amount of time a customer will spend on a site has sunk to an all-time low. In addition, bounce rate peaked at 39.2 percent in January of this year.
How Latency Affects the Bottom Line
With consumers so prone to leave a site immediately it is crucial to ensure that the online experience is built for the fast moving customer and that latency doesn't drive the consumer away. Just how low does latency need to be? A study in 2012 found 50 percent of users will abandon a page if it doesn't load within 10 seconds. For e-commerce sites, expectations are even higher with 40 percent of shoppers abandoning the e-commerce site if it doesn't load within 3 seconds. Perhaps the most concerning statistic is that 60 percent of users who abandon a page due to poor performance don't return to the site later.
These numbers should be concerning to every online business owner, as it means many businesses are losing sales for no other reason than their site failed to load quickly enough.
The Special Case of Mobile
One of the major contributors to consumers' lack of patience with websites and tendency to skip quickly from one site to the next is the rise in the use of mobile smartphones and tablets. In 2012, mobile consisted of 24 percent of site traffic on Black Friday, up from 14 percent in 2011. With so many consumers using a mobile device to complete their holiday shopping, retailers that fail to provide a mobile-friendly experience will not only lose immediate sales, but those customers are also more likely to visit a competitor when they return to their desktop or laptop computer.
How to Improve Your Bottom Line
In order to ensure that your business isn't included in the percentage losing their customers due to poor site performance, consider these tips.
Focus on the Mobile Experience:
E-commerce sites that merely convert their current website into a mobile app or lead customers to the same site whether they are browsing on a phone or desktop are setting themselves up for failure. Traditional websites are slow to load and hard to use on a mobile device, further exasperating an online shopper. Instead, create an app or site specific to mobile that loads quickly, avoids small links or a lot of typing and is picture oriented.
Personalize and Streamline the Experience:
Get to know your customer, so you can cater their experience in a more personal way. With big data analytics via Hadoop, businesses can gather and analyze more and more information, such as what the customer was talking about on social media and which Internet networks they are browsing from as well as clickstream data. With the advent of big data, a site can recognize a consumer even if they switch which device they are using and offer a customized landing page based off of the consumer's browsing history or expression of interests on social media. Doing this speeds up the process for the customer, as they no longer have to search for the items they are interested in.
Test Site Latency Under Real-Life Conditions:
A user's experience with your site will vary based on where they are located, the network service provider, the time of day, the number of users on the network and a host of other factors that could slow your site down. When testing the speed of your site, be sure to recreate the most common conditions your key customers experience in the test lab. Doing this will allow you to pinpoint potential problems and take care of them under the conditions the user will actually be in.
By following these tips online businesses should have a happy shopping season as their conversion rates will be higher and their bounce rates lower.

I was injured in Iraq in 2007 and my home was damaged by wind hail and water and was vandalized/burglarized in 2009 while I was still in rehab. I have completed all repairs out of pocket by summer of 2011 and spent my life savings doing it. I spent over $65,000.00 of my savings. They claim to to take care of soldiers but they simply do not do as they advertise. Also their left hand does not know what their right hand is doing, in Military Terms ALL ATE UP. Where are they??????
They have certainly caused grief and concern to my family and others. I am joining a group of military persons and the concerns and sign to have them not use the military as their back drop for their ads any more. Thanks
They're ripping other folks off, too.
USAA is just not doing as they advertize
My narrative and story July 05, 2012Greetings,I was deployed to Iraq in 2006 and was permately combat injured March 22nd 2007 in Iraq be an explosive device. I was in medical hold at Fort hood Texas then moved to Keesler/ Sonny Montgomery Medical Center and the admitted to Martin Army Community Hospital at Fort Benning for rehab and other therapy. Was med retired by the Army 100% disabled.During the time period from my deployment to present my home and other structers were damaged by wind, hail, and water. I had payed faithfully all my premiums. I have spent my life savings of over $65,000.00 for repairs and USAA has been really been absent for taking care of this soldier and his immediate needs. I have been home for one year and six months. I have had to file a chaper 13 protection because they have been dragging thier feet since last summer of 2011. Policey number 019636291/92A.I also believe they also have commited advertizing fruad saying they take care of military and should cease from riding on our coat tails. They are in violation of the disabilities act statute #508 and #504 pretty sure due to my situation and disabilities. They were fully informed of my disabilities in 2008 and 2009 and 2010 and 2011.Its sad when your insurance company is almost putting me and me family under a bridge living because they are who they are, just plain Idiots.Darrell ********
"The issues presented by Sergeant Whited will be addressed through his complaint filed with the Alabama Department of Insurance."
All information contained herein is the opinion of the posting parties, who are
solely responsible for its content. PeopleClaim offers both free and paid services
to help consumers, patients, employee, tenants, and others resolve disputes without
lawyers or courts, through negotiated online settlement and public disclosure of

As you have already filed a complaint with the Alabama Department of Insurance (ALDOI), and will be following up with that, I would definitely encourage you to look into the possibility of mediation which is offered through the ALDOI. If your damage is from storm or disaster related damage, you may be eligible for the state sponsored mediation program.
they are sending a Rep out tomorrow to meet on location. It took a year just to get them out here. Now its wait and see. We will know tomorrow what their going to do. My claim may be solved tomorrow or we are prepared to take it to the next level with your help and some very pesty attorney's. I do not like lawyers but today you can't get by with out them. Oh yea, their comments are and always will be seen through by us little folks as getting screwed and tatooed. They are the perpetrators and sending veterans to live under bridges and they do know how to play their games. Their ajusters are trained to do the dance also, screw the veteran. They come with their scripted questions and always will side with the insurance company. I lived for almost a tear under a bridge and camper with my two sons. If it wasn't for other people who know the insurance world and family and volunteers I would still be under the bridge in my wheelchair. Will be happy to send pictures protesting USAA in front of city hall in 2009 and 2010.
Join our community and start resolving disputes — it's free and fast.
Let the PeopleClaim community help resolve your dispute.
Get Started: Review the case, ask the parties questions, add comments, then
submit your suggestion for settlement.
PeopleClaim.com is a member-supported online dispute resolution system designed
to settle most common disputes quickly and efficiently—without mediation,
arbitration, or litigation. We provide a secure, confidential negotiation channel
where both sides can review facts, communicate with each other, propose terms, make
counter-offers, and reach resolution. Both parties control their side of the process
and avoid the uncertain outcome and costliness of legal action. PeopleClaim.com
is a facilitating channel: we take neither side in disputes and do not involve ourselves
in any aspect of negotiation between parties. We are supported by member dues and
non-member use fees, rather than sponsorship or advertising.
There are four steps to the PeopleClaim system: 1) Stating your complaint; 2) Making
a claim; 3) Negotiating Terms; 4) Settlement. We help you at every step of the process,
providing smart features that make your case understandable and actionable. A clear
statement of your complaint allows the other party to identify you and your problem,
and respond in an appropriate and timely way. Transforming your complaint into a
claim means establishing terms of settlement that can be acted on by the other party.
We help you organize and present your terms to encourage response and action. PeopleClaim's
secure online channel lets you and the other party negotiate terms in confidence.
Our automated email system tracks progress, advising both sides of changes in terms,
revised offers, and any other claim-related activity. This helps the negotiation
proceed smoothly with minimum time slippage. Settlement occurs when either side
accepts an offer. Generally speaking, when executed by both sides, the PeopleClaim
online Agreement is considered a legally binding contract.
Remember, we provide a channel and structure but we stay out of your business. The
substance and outcome of your claim is entirely up to you and the other party.
There are many possibilities. We designed PeopleClaim to be affordable enough to
be used for common consumer complaints, but powerful enough to handle larger disputes.
Disagreements with retailers, product defects, and poor service of all kinds are
common claim types. But you could also use PeopleClaim to deal with problems between
individuals, or to register a complaint in a public advocacy cause. The mechanism
of stating a complaint and filing a claim is applicable to a wide variety of situations,
and we expect claimants will be inventive in their use of the system. Naturally,
in complex and large-stakes matters, or where a party is looking to establish legal
precedent, there is no substitute for professional counsel. If you think your problem
may be too big or too difficult to resolve via one-to-one online negotiation, or
have any doubts about PeopleClaim's applicability, you should ask a lawyer.
would you like to add any comment or solution?
PeopleClaim is a new way to resolve disputes online without lawyers or mediators. By inviting suggestions from the public, disputing parties get ideas that can lead to settlement – and the person(s) who contributed them can win a reward.
Here's what to do: Read the case (left side of page). Then go to the bottom of the page and enter your suggestion in the space provided. Click the Solution button.
Your suggestion will be sent to both parties and will post on the claim. If the two sides agree to settle based on your suggestion, you're eligible to win. Note: Cash rewards may be split among more than one person if settlement depends on ideas from more than one contributor. If you have a claim of your own to resolve, click here.

SYS-CON Events has announced today that Steve Lesem, President and CEO of Mezeo Software, will be presenting at SYS-CON's upcoming 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo (http://cloudcomputingexpo.com) in Santa Clara, CA, this coming November 2 - 4, 2009.
His session is entitled "The Profit Model for Cloud Computing."
The Profit Model for Cloud Computing
The Cloud storage segment can provide a roadmap for how to create a viable, profitable cloud computing industry. Cloud storage has not so quietly gone from concept to tangible business with real revenue and margin opportunities. While many bet on Amazon, EMC, Google, Microsoft and Sun, it turns out they have their hands full with the entry of trusted service providers like IT hosting providers into this space. Steve Lesem will examine why the concept of "trust" is so essential and why the IT service providers who have the trusting relationships with customers are destined to triumph in the end.
Speaker Bio:
Steve Lesem is President/CEO of Mezeo Software. Previously, he was Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the managed hosting provider VeriCenter. He has also served in leadership positions at SafeNet, BMC Software and IBM. Steve holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas at Austin.

If you're already a Cloud player - or would like to be - this is the one event to attend this year.
"Bringing the Economics of the Web to Enterprise IT Through Cloud Computing" is the conference theme and our organizing principle is that through our intensive three-day schedule of keynotes, and general and breakout sessions, attending delegates will be assured of leaving the Conference with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scale of their endeavors.

Cable internet, or broadband as it's frequently called, uses the cable TV infrastructure lines to bring internet access right to a home or company. Today, it's the preferred way to get internet access because it is considerably faster than the usual dial-up connection furnished by a telephone land line.
Cable internet service in Oakland City uses a shared line which supplies service to a full neighborhood. When there are several people on the internet at the same time, it may slow down the transfer of data. Also, security measures are needed since it is possible for anyone on the same LAN (local area network) line gain access to someone else's data, should they learn how to do it. Most cable companies have addressed this challenge with firewall abilities and modems that apply the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). This supports cable network security.
Fiber optic internet may be the fastest available with upload speeds up to 50 mbps (megabytes per second) while cable offers about 16 mbps. Verizon FiOS is the very first 100% fiber optic communication network that is directly for home services. It not only provides extremely high speed internet it also produces superior picture quality for TV and videos online, is not affected by power surges, noise or static and has minimal down time because fiber optic wire is much more durable than copper cable.
Comcast one of the most significant cable internet providers and digital TV providers in the U.S. Their internet service is transferred through cable but they also use fiber optic technology for their patented PowerBoost? that makes downloading videos, games and music as well as uploading documents considerably faster than conventional cable. Services include SmartZone? Online for listening to voicemail online and more. In addition Comcast provides free Comprehensive Security.
Time Warner Cable? started out as a digital cable provider and added high speed internet and clear phone services to their product offerings. They work to supply the latest technology including their famous Road Runner? Broadband internet connection at inexpensive prices. They supply wireless home networking for up to 4 computers, free Internet Security Suite and great customer service 24/7.
Cox Communications is highly competitive in the broadband internet market. They claim to be the best and give a 30 day money-back guarantee to prove it. Cox also employs PowerBoost? technology and offer 24/7 technical support. They supply free security, access to ESPN360.com, 5GB free storage with Premier and Preferred packages and internet so quick the download progress bars don't have time to show up.
If you want excellent cable high speed internet at discounted rates we've got you covered. With our advanced search-and-compare technology powered by Saveology.com you will find deals that can save you up to 40% on services.
Instantly compare the top cable internet providers, prices and plan in Oakland City to find the most affordable high speed internet options in your area. It only takes a few minutes to acquire a cable internet dealthat may help you save more money month after month.?

Well MSNBC had little to say last night regarding the Scott Walker win in Wisconsin who won by a HUGE margin. Just think of all that wasted time MSNBC spent prior to the election. They televised rally after rally backing the re-call and some no-name democrat backed by union thugs. MSNBC had the likes of Chris Masseuse, Al (ain't I somethin') or (show me the nearest camera) Sharpton, Lawrence O'Donules, and Rachael Madcow ALL backing the ridicules re-call. Greece has 1 in 4 of the population working for their government. I don't want see the US become another Greece.
This is a stock board doofus! Go call rush or hannity!!!
Sounds like a real thinker not a lib. stooge not depending on the govt.to tell you how to live your life.End of story !
I misspoke… the gentleman was not in construction he was in the state corrections department. Still a healthy pension for admittedly a tough job.
Wisconsin is not the only state that needs to crack down on state employee's pensions. I just heard that a retired gentleman in Illinois after thirty-two years gets 80% of his pension giving him a yearly pension of $90,000. He said that he worked in construction for the state. It's no wonder that the democrats want to grow the federal and state governments… it's more votes for them... to hell with the Country. We are slowly becoming another Greece state by state.

CIBC And Rogers Complete The First Mobile Credit Card Transaction In Canada
TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - CIBC and Rogers today announced they have completed the first point-of-sale mobile credit card transaction in Canada using the secure SIM card inside an NFC-enabled smartphone. Simon Whitfield, Pan American Games and Olympic medalist, performed the credit card transaction, buying coffee at Tim Hortons using the CIBC Mobile Payment™ App on a BlackBerry® smartphone from Rogers.This new way to pay will be available to CIBC credit card clients using a Rogers smartphone, allowing them to pay for coffee, groceries, and other everyday purchases simply by holding their smartphone up to one of the tens of thousands of contactless payment terminals at merchants across Canada. "We're pleased to make history in mobile commerce in Canada by completing the country's first mobile credit card transaction," said David Williamson, Senior Executive Vice-President and Group Head, Retail and Business Banking, CIBC. "Getting a coffee while you are on the go is just one example of the kind of transaction that's going to be made easier when you can pay in just seconds with a CIBC credit card on your smartphone, and we're excited about the possibilities this offers our clients." "Canadians are amongst the most connected consumers around the world, and we have put Canada on the world stage today as a global leader in mobile commerce," said David Robinson, Vice President of Emerging Business, Rogers Communications. "We are passionate about delivering technology innovations and powering new mobile experiences for our customers," said Robinson. "Making the first mobile credit card payment means that we are one step closer to allowing Canadians to store everything they need, securely, in their smartphone." The new mobile payments capability from CIBC and Rogers means clients will be able to pay with their CIBC credit card, whether Visa or MasterCard, without retrieving the plastic card from their wallet or purse. They can simply hold their Rogers BlackBerry® smartphone up to a contactless payment terminal and the payment will be automatically charged to their CIBC credit card. The CIBC Mobile Payment App will be accepted at the tens of thousands of Visa payWave™ and MasterCard PayPass™ contactless terminals across Canada and around the world. As the rollout to clients begins, the new CIBC Mobile Payment App will initially be available on two smartphones on the Rogers wireless network - the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 and BlackBerry® Curve™9360, beginning November 16 th 2012. As of today, NFC SIM cards required to access the solution on Rogers suretap™ ready devices can be ordered online. Additional suretap-ready devices will support the solution in 2013, including Android and Windows Phone 8 platforms, broadening the offer to more Canadians. The initiative brought to market by CIBC and Rogers represents the first time a bank and a wireless carrier have joined forces to offer a commercially available mobile payments solution to Canadians that leverages the secure SIM card inside an NFC-enabled device. This new solution aligns to guidelines announced earlier this year by the Canadian Bankers Association for mobile payments in Canada, as well as those developed by respected international associations such as the GSM Association (GSMA), the association of mobile operators and related companies dedicated to standardizing and supporting GSM technology and Global Platform, a cross industry, not-for-profit association focused on secure and interoperable deployment and management of embedded applications on secure chip technology. Canada is ready for mobile payments This new mobile payment solution arrives in Canada at a time when smartphone growth is accelerating among Canadians. A recent Harris/Decima poll shows that 44 per cent of Canadians said they now own a smartphone, and within that group, 47 per cent said they are interested in using mobile payments. "We've seen firsthand how quickly demand can build in other aspects of mobile financial services such as mobile banking, and based on the feedback from our clients we see mobile payments growing rapidly in Canada in the coming years," noted Mr. Williamson. Forecasts for mobile commerce suggest that it will become a significant method of payment in just the next few years. By 2016, Technology Strategy International forecasts that almost 80 per cent of the smartphones in Canada will be NFC-enabled, and IE Market Research forecasts total mobile payments in Canada will reach $14.2B. "In a few years, a mobile wallet will be as common as a camera on a smartphone. The opportunity in mobile payments for our business is just getting started - our vision is to take the millions of cards Canadians carry today and to make them instantly accessible and secured on the SIM card of a smartphone," noted Robinson.

My father wasn't a citizen until I was 18, so there had always been a large emphasis on voting in my household since he felt that he couldn't fully participate without the vote. We were both able to vote for the first time in the same election.
Innovation and inclusion were common themes of the three wonderful state League conventions that I attended this year. In each state, the conversations were about the League's celebrated past as prelude to the future of Making Democracy Work® for all Americans.
When looking at the now almost complete 2015 state legislative sessions, not only were fewer pieces of anti-voter legislation successful, more pro-voter reforms were introduced and passed!
Congratulate the graduates you know on their achievement and encourage them to register to vote with our eCard.
Every day, I see examples of people who overcome unthinkable barriers in order to vote. They are tireless supporters of democracy. It's inspiring to see.
Ninety-six years ago today, Congress passed the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, and was sent to the states for ratification.
It's time to close this loophole that is letting too much big money into our elections. Stand up today and urge your Representatives to strengthen the coordination rules!
I love hearing the stories from random people I meet who share stories about their mother or grandmother's involvement with the League when they find out I work for this organization

Skip to comments.Ann Coulter: MEDIA: HALLIBURTON PAID DICK CHENEY TO COMMIT RAPE IN IRAN (Automatons Gone Wild)
Posted on 08/03/2011 3:36:19 PM PDT by Syncro
Read More »
MEDIA: HALLIBURTON PAID DICK CHENEY TO COMMIT RAPE IN IRANAugust 3, 2011A front-page story by James Risen in The New York Times on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008, reported on a "troubling trend" of sexual assaults committed by American employees of military contractors in Iraq. The centerpiece of his story was Jamie Leigh Jones, who claimed to have been brutally gang-raped in 2005 while working in the Green Zone.
(Risen also interviewed other women claiming to have been sexually assaulted in Iraq and -- for journalistic balance -- their attorneys.)
Jones famously claimed that days after arriving in Iraq with KBR, then a subsidiary of Halliburton, she had been drugged and gang-raped by fellow employees and then held at machine-gunpoint in a tiny shipping container by KBR managers, with no food or water for 24 hours, as retaliation for reporting the rape.
You may have heard about Jones' sensational allegations - invariably reported as fact -- on ABC's "20/20"; CNN; CBS News' "The Early Show," MSNBC, National Public Radio, in every major U.S. newspaper and international media.
All she had to do was mention the words "rape" and "Halliburton," and the automatons went wild!
Jones told her tale before congressional committees, on numerous TV shows -- and in a book she is actually writing, titled: "The Jamie Leigh Story: How My Rape in Iraq and Cover-up Made Me a Crusader for Justice." (Scheduled for release the third Tuesday after never.)
Then-senator Barack Obama demanded a State Department investigation into Jones' claims.
But no one jumped on Jones' story with more self-righteousness than Sen. Al Franken. He used her story to jam through a grandstandy "anti-rape" amendment to an appropriations bill prohibiting defense contractors from including mandatory arbitration clauses in employment contracts, thus depriving mountebank trial lawyers like John Edwards from collecting massive damages awards from illiterate jurors.
Just a few years after humiliating themselves over the Duke lacrosse case, it's nice to see the media weren't the least bit hesitant about leaping on another ludicrous rape claim.
Perhaps liberals were slipped Rohypnol, and that's why they can't remember that not every woman claiming she was raped is always telling the truth.
Read the rest at AnnCoulter.com
Her claim that KBR management had held her at gunpoint in a shipping container vanished when it turned out she had only remembered that part of the story two years after it supposedly happened (coincidentally, just as the media frenzy began).Ann Coulter NYT2
Perhaps the Rohypnol made her forget something else: KBR employees, including security guards, don't even carry guns, much less machine guns.
Come on, Ann - please check your copy before posting stuff. Headline check - what the heck does Iran have to do with the case she is discussing, which is about contractors in Iraq....????
? I guess it's supposed to be Iraq, not Iran
Ann Coulter makes the point that the media were on this story like fleas on a dog because it involved KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton. A corporation with a past connection to former V.P. Cheney, making them (and any subsidiary) a target of the leftmedia. The woman eventually was proven to have made the whole thing up and no criminal charges were ever brought against anyone. Those facts were basically ignored and the 'story' abandoned by the MSM. Same old, same old but kudos to Ann for at least allowing the whole sordid mess to see the light of day, even if only for a moment.
Why is Ann pushing this story without leading that a jury said her claims were bogus?
"The trial began in the Southern District of Texas on June 14, 2011.[21] Jones's attorney argued that KBR had known about widespread sexual harassment but had ignored it because the remedy was too expensive. The defense argued that Jones fabricated her story of being drugged and raped because she was embarrassed about the consensual sex and wanted to get out of her year-long contract with KBR three days after she arrived.[6][22]
Jones's first attending physician testified that Jones had not suffered damage to her breast implants or chest during the alleged attack. The prosecution also brought out that on two prior occasions Jones had reported being raped and that she had taken medication for anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.[23]
On July 8, the jury returned a verdict that rejected all of Jones claims, finding that the sex between Jones and the employee was consensual[4][6] (and therefore no rape had occurred),[7][8][9] and that KBR did not defraud her.[6][5][7]
Jones said, "I just thought that the physical evidence would help. I guess the fact that my entire life was on display and (his) wasnt" made a difference.[24]
Bolen, a KBR spokeswoman, said, "The outcome of this jury trial as judged by her peers is the same result that the State Department got in 2005; that the Justice Department found in 2008. We are deeply gratified that the justice system has worked." (Wiki)
Well on her keyboard the Q is right next to the N...
Ann has a nutty emotional side for sure. She was touting how good of a job the republicans did in this new debt mess. They should have went directly to the people show on a graph the massive debt and how just stopping the automatic increases yearly, of spending would have solved the problem. Instead they made a deal with the devil. We will have a lot of pain no mater what is done now...so they may as well have done it! Trump is right...it was a horrible deal.
Nothing excites the masses like charts and graphs. Perhaps the GOP could have had Ross Perot make the presentation?
She's the archetypicle polemicist
What? She's telling a story. Why would she put the end of the story at the top ?
Because the first of the story seems to infer that the story is credible. In Houston, she didn't get by with her money grab.
I have no idea how you created and posted that, but it was well done. Any tips for wannabe satirists?
What exactly is that?
That was done ages ago by a long time Freeper named Bender...he had quite a few of them and I shamelessly copied them all....
It does no such thing. Its the standard way anyone would set up the story. no one would undercut their own piece by putting the end at the top of the story. And it has nothing to do with Houston.
Archetype definition, the original pattern or model from which all things of the same kind are copied or on which they are based
Polemic, a controversial argument, especially one refuting or attacking a specific opinion or doctrine
The www is a teasurehouse of information
Whatever..just show them the dire situation graphically! And Ross was in the race very well until he flaked out! He would have probably won.
Maybe a picture of Chris Christie came on her TV and she swooned over to Iran?
Pray for America
I hope some of the posters that don't understand her style and wit read it.
I still don't get it.
I actually like that form of the word better than archetypal
Maybe I should have "spelled" it archetype-ical
Dr. Zoo, do you want the word archetypicle for your book Dictionary of Words That Are Not But Should be, Thypos Welcome?
yes. It does nothing to help me understand why she wrote Iran.
It's a jab at the MSM
If the MEDIA: posted a story about Cheney being paid to rape someone, they would just as likely get the country wrong too.
Oh. Okay. Thanx
<< How do you go from total amnesia to deciding that you were the star of your own Lifetime made-for-TV movie? I don't remember offhand what I was doing last Tuesday, but this does not automatically lead me to assume I was gang-raped. >>
Made me laugh.
And, I do appreciate AC taking time to point out what lying frauds MSM are when their anti/conservative agenda is being served.
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
She did that last month as well with an article she wrote on her new book, calling it a "Besteller" lol! I think she still hasn't changed it.
Go Annie! Lucky for us she sticks to stories to find out the real truth rather than the Lame Stream Media who would champion the little boy who cried wolf as long as the supposed wolf was Christian, Conservative, Republican or Military.
And last week she lit into the NYT.
I remember the flack she caught for saying too bad Osama didn't target the Times back in Sept '01
But then of course the NYT, Osama and Obama have similar agendas.
Why target a fellow traveler.
Good article. Maybe the House should have passed a bill prohibiting government contractors from hiring raving nutters with breast implants. In fact, they could use breast implants as a marker for "employee likely to reduce efficiency and cause trouble."
Perhaps liberals were slipped Rohypnol, and that's why they can't remember that not every woman claiming she was raped is always telling the truth.
Either that, or the entire "objective journalism" claim of the value of journalism as we know it is a scam - and the actual business model of the Borg consisting of Associated Press journalism and "liberal" politicians" is to give the public the mushroom treatment (i.e., to keep us in the dark and feed us horse manure).
History starts fresh every day for liberals. Must be peaceful to have such a "free" mind.
Where's that clown Al Franken now?

The leading Beverly Hills surgeon specializes in tissue expansion breast reconstruction and flap reconstruction methods. During tissue expansion, Dr. J skillfully inserts a silicone expander into a pocket beneath the chest wall. The tissue expansion process typically takes a few months and the best results should never be rushed. Following the timeline, he injects a saline solution into the expander and the temporary implant begins to grow and increase in size. Once the expander reaches the desired size and is ready to be removed, Dr. J introduces the permanent implant in its place.Dr. J and his staff are there every step of the way on the patient's gradual journey toward a beautifully reconstructed breast. Dr. J and his team are honored to join the patient during the final steps of the transition to full recovery. The surgeon's lifework is reflected in improving the lives of his patients and restoring their confidence. In the renowned surgeon's opinion, seeing the joyful expression on the patient's face at the completion of reconstruction is his greatest reward.

Franklin County's hot bats win game
CRYSTAL SPRINGS — Sierra Bethley, Jaleshia Bethley and Jamecia Starks hit back-to-back-to-back home runs for Franklin County in the top of the seventh inning to lead the Lady Bulldogs past the Crystal Springs Lady Tigers 11-6 Thursday afternoon in an MHSAA Division 7-3A game.
Franklin County went into the seventh inning holding on to a 6-5 lead over Crystal Springs. However, it didn't take long for the Lady Bulldogs to put some much-needed distance between themselves and the Lady Tigers.
With two runners on, Sierra Bethley hit a three-run home run to make it a 9-5 game. Jaleshia Bethley and Starks, the next two batters in the lineup, followed that up with consecutive solo home runs to give the Lady Bulldogs an 11-5 lead. The Lady Tigers were held to one run in the bottom of the seventh.
But those weren't the only home runs hit in the game. Macy Brabham started the game with a leadoff home run and, a few batters later, Jaleshia Bethley hit a two-run shot that gave Franklin County an early 3-0 lead.
Crystal Springs countered with one run in the bottom of the first and took its only lead of the game with a three-run rally in the bottom of the third, which was highlighted by Jakayla Arnold's two-run homer. The Lady Bulldogs responded when Sierra Bethley hit a leadoff home run in the top of the fourth inning to tie the game at 4-4.
Both teams scored one run in the fifth inning and Franklin County took the lead for good with one run in the top of the sixth. Sierra Bethley went 3-for-4, Brabahm was 2-for-3, and both Jaleshia Bethley and Hayle McKinney were 2-for-4.
Franklin County (4-11, 1-1) plays again at 7 p.m. Tuesday for a home game against Division 7-3A newcomer Wesson.

Broken Toilet
Aug. 31, 2014
I like the graphic of the toilet.. other than that there really isn't much to this game. It's just a sewer version of space invaders. On trying to move the toilet the response left much to be desired, though that could be my browser glitching, the ad that popped up half way through froze the machine, and there's only so long i can sit and consistently press the j button as fast as i can before i get bored.
It does have potential, and hey, I'm not a developer or programmer, so I guess my opinion isn't worth much.
You definitely did better than I could, and better than some I've seen on here
thank you for the insight i could put an auto fire button but I wanted people to be able to shoot really fast. This game is pretty intense needs a good gpu or a really good cpu. The background is actually drawn live on a cube with bump spec so it's a bit wasteful for older rigs or netbooks.
Aug. 24, 2014
nice music, but unfortunately this game didnt relax me, mainly due to the impracticality of trying to use this with a laptop mouse pad.
One and One Story
what a nice game
Horror House DEMO
definitely a good start. You even made me jump :)
Dimension Jumper
quite a challenge, might be worth ptting a note in the game for instructions, for those of us that don't scroll down the page before playing. I was said my numpad didnt reister in the game, too, so had to use the line of numbers which invariably meant hitting 3 instead of 4. Nice concept though
nice take on hthe style. I like how you can change the skin of the snake. It's quite an addictive little game :)
Cat Mario
thee controls arent as precise with moving moggin as I would like them to be, It's a shame I can't read chinese/japanese?
Lovely relaxing game, though perhaps a hint button would be helpful.. (maybe I'm just blind)
black for me, too, also on firefox
I like the simplicity, but it became monotonous quite quickly for me, plus now my fingers hurt. Nice little challenge for a short time. I also like how the art to this isn't overly detailed, it fits well.
Thanks for checking it out! The core of the game is definitely in the movement. I would say maybe try to set your own rhythm and don't try to go fast all the time... is a bit easier on the fingers. Beyond procedural placement of level elements there's not much depth to the environment to be sure. Would be interesting to do more with exploration but that would be a much larger project and I'm kind of done with it now. I've already spent way too long tinkering with it.

nicely done, but I agree, this definitely needs hints.
Aug. 22, 2014
As much as I enjoyed this game and the storyline to it, I also found it quite monotonous, it really could have used something to break up the flights (other than the updgrades).. a "now for something completely different" moment.
The End
well, it was a nice enough introduction, but im very disappointed I can't play the whole thing on this site....
I wish I were the Moon
simple, yet I could't stop until I had found all endings! Well made
what a heartwrenching tale, and amazing artwork! I love the character detail. It certainly leaves you pondering on social status, and how people judge on looks.
