Journey from Canadian rugby international to AFL Grand Final proves Mike Pyke is one in 101
- From: Herald Sun
- September 24, 2012
EVERY Grand Final footballer has a story and Mike Pyke's perhaps is the most extraordinary.
Four years ago, the Canadian-born rugby union international was playing in France, when an unlikely situation arose via a mate named Matt Woodland.
Also a Canadian, Woodland had moved to Melbourne and fallen in love with the Australian game.
Disenchanted in his life pursuit, Pyke responded favourably to Woodland's urgings.
Woodland emailed player manager Michael Quinlan, who also managed Tadhg Kennelly, and he contacted former Swan Stuart Maxfield, who told coach Paul Roos to look at the 200cm prospect.
Roos said yesterday: "It's a massive, massive story ... an unbelievable story.
I don't think there's been enough written about his story and certainly I don't think full credit has been given to Pykey for what he's been able to achieve. It's fantastic for him.
"I don't think people saw him as a joke, that's a bit harsh, but people saw the Swans trying to do something and believed that it was never going to work.
"His greatest credit is that he's not spoken of as Canadian player, he is an AFL player in a Grand Final who absolutely fits in."
Quinlan described Pyke's journey as remarkable.
"Everyone talks about Israel Folau and Karmichael Hunt, but Mike Pyke came from union from another country," he said.
"He is as big a convert as those two players.
"If you think back, it was at the time Sonny Bill Williams was going to France. Everyone knew about Sonny, but no one knew Mike was coming here."
The Pyke ball started rolling when Woodland sent an email to Quinlan.
"It was a one-off generic email from a bloke who had a mate who he thought could play AFL," Quinlan remembered.
I get a lot of funny emails, but this one, I took it on. With this one, I thought if he is truly an international Canadian rugby player playing in France, then he is no hack.
Quinlan called for his sports history, stats and footage of him playing.
"Then I started to liaise with Mike Pyke while he was in France and I was convinced I had enough to present to Stu Maxfield," he said.
"I went to Sydney because if this was going to get legs, through my association with Sydney and Tadhg, I know they had the process in place and if he was going to make it, he needed an environment like that.
"I can remember talking to Roosy, who was in match committee or something like that, and he said: 'We've got an Irishman and now you want us to to take a Canadian'."
In 2009, Pyke arrived in Sydney for a two-week trial.
Roos had seen footage of Pyke playing for Canada at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and the intercept try when he carried the ball almost from goalposts to goalposts against the All Blacks.
"We made it clear it was a long shot, but when we saw him run - his endurance was pretty good - and kick the ball, we thought, what have we got to lose?" Roos said.
"He was prepared to put his life on hold and give up his union quest to have a crack."
Talk about the road less travelled.
His report card says he was taken at No.57 in the 2009 rookie draft and in 2010 was a rookie elevation at No.101.
At 28, he's played 45 games in four years, including 17 this year.
Once described by commentator Brian Taylor as the worst player in the competition, Pyke has developed into an accomplished forward/second ruck.
"He's a beauty," Quinlan said.
So is his journey.
SAM Mitchell deserves to feel disappointed.
He missed out on being named in the All Australian team despite being the best midfielder in the best performed team in the home and away season.
Finals don't count in selection, but what Saturday evening emphasised yet again is that Mitchell is a class act.
Time and again he got his hands on the ball, and with Adelaide's Scott Thompson, was leading contested possession winner with 19.
Mitchell was credited with seven clearances and six tackles and arguably was best afield, vying with Adelaide's Kurt Tippett for the honours.
One bit of play stood out.
It came deep in the final quarter. Mitchell won the clearance by knocking a hit ball forward, and then followed up to receive the possession and kick it to Cyril Rioli who marked. Rioli missed the goal.
The two-efforts probably went unnoticed, but when the game was to be decided, it was Mitchell who got his hands on the ball.
Also telling was Mitchell's dynamic left foot. He hit several teammates lace out, only to watch them fluff the mark, one of which was Lance Franklin.
The AA selectors have taken a barrage of criticism, namely over the exclusion of Matthew Pavlich, but I'd argue the non-selection of Mitchell was a greater blunder.
Kudos to Richmond's Brett Deledio for making his first AA team, but if we are talking about impact on games, which all footballers should be judged on, then Mitchell is desperately unlucky.
If Mitchell wins the Brownlow Medal tonight, his omission from the team will become infamous.
BOTH Sydney and Hawthorn have hellish decisions ahead.
First the Hawks.
Captain Luke Hodge is expected to play which means either Shane Savage or Thomas Murphy face the axe.
It's possible the two of them might be forced out if defender Brent Guerra convinces the coach he is over a hamstring injury.
But that is unlikely.
Guerra and Sydney's Ben McGlynn will have had 21 days from when they injured their hamstrings.
The Swans and Hawks would like to play them, but it shapes as a tremendous risk.
Hawks football director Jason Dunstall said exactly that last night, as did AFL great Leigh Matthews.
There are always sob stories in Grand Final week, and this week will be no different.
Channel Seven has taken a public beating this year, ranging from Brett Kirk's pre-season pep up talk which was a YouTube hit, to camera angles, and all the way to the box, where Brian Taylor and Luke Darcy have caused some angst with their commentary.
Taylor is unique and despite his over-the-top bleatings, he has the capacity to take boring games to decent levels of excitement.
More talk about the game and less about Cameron Ling's hair stylist, or seagulls under the rood, or knuckleheads in the crowd, would probably be welcomed.
As for the camera angles, Seven has tried to change the way the game has been traditionally viewed, which has not been welcomed.
The network has acknowledged the camera work surrounding Taylor Walker's goal on half-time against Fremantle a week ago was a bad decision, but at the same time they must be acknowledged for when the camera work is outstanding.
The director in charge of the cameras when Lewis Jetta set out on his 90m run on Friday night made it all the more breath-taking.
Seven zoomed in to capture the energy, and zoomed out to show viewers the complete picture, which showed Lewis with the ball, the green grass in front of him, and Nathan Brown in hot pursuit.
In and out. In and out. It was brilliant stuff.
Darcy has been labelled a ''dobber'' for his commentary on an incident between Shane Mumford and Chris Dawes, although footage doesn't show what exactly happened.
The allegation is Mumford made contact with Dawes' knee, which Dawes didn't like and he duly complained to the umpire.
I liked that Darcy spoke of the incident. In fact, it's his job to speak about such incidents.
Long gone are the days when TV commentators turn a blind eye.
1) A clearer understanding of Travis Cloke's situation.
Despite news people saying the Pies might up their offer to five years, it's been well documented the Pies already have five years on the table. The first four years guarantee him money, and the fifth year is incentive based. The issue is whether the Pies offer five years unconditional, which Cloke wants. Of course, the whole saga might've been a waste of time, and Cloke has already decided he is leaving. I favour him staying.
2) More Brendon Goddard speculation.
The Bombers are all over him, but they say they aren't confident of getting him. The Saints have tried to make him the highest-paid player at the club, but Goddard is refusing to sign. There is a question of money, but I'm told if the Saints offer him four years, which he wants, and not three years as they have, then BJ will probably stay. Still, several Saints teammates aren't as confident as they once were.
3) Confirmation on Port Adelaide's coaching situation.
There's two names in it, Rodney Eade and Leon Cameron, and jungle drums are beating Cameron's name loudly.
4) Brett Ratten's future.
It would appear he is a lock for the Gold Coast, having beaten former Port Adelaide coach Matthew Primus for the role.
1. Swans.
The last thing this team needs is to be considered the underdog in the Grand Final, for they are anything but. Right now the Hawks are about $1.60 and the Swans $2.65. They are ridiculous odds. The Swans are selfless, mature, have big bodies, a strong and running defence and a midfield group which bats deeper than the Hawks. Underdog or not, they will be fierce at the ball and the man, and if they can replicate their Round 20 form, then this game is anyone's.
2. Josh Kennedy.
Motivation is a singular and team exercise and you have to wonder what Kennedy will be thinking as he prepares against his former team. Those people old enough to remember John Kennedy Snr and Jnr like the heritage angle, although Josh might not give a second thought. Why would he. He has developed into superstar midfielder and leader at Sydney, and there was no more evidence of that than his game on Friday night. Thirty touches, 10 clearances and two goals had him challenging for best afield. It could be a big week with the Brownlow Medal not out of his reach.
3. Lewis Jetta.
What can you say? Just spell-binding. I won't ever forget the turning of the head as he bounced his way to goal, and the huge smile that enveloped his face after it. He plays footy like he's playing in the backyard, where it's all fun and games. Not that he was going to be missed by the Hawks in their preparation, but his match-up will be crucial. The Hawks don't have anyone quick enough to run with him, so will need a player smart enough to run with him. It's about being goal side of him and corralling him. Like Shiels, or maybe Ellis, as the go-to men.
4. Scott Pendlebury.
Let's not tip out Nick Maxwell as captain for the sake of it, but there will be discussions at Collingwood about whether the time is right. Pendlebury's standing in the game is at its highest. Thirty touches, 10 tackles and 10 clearances in a losing preliminary final is top shelf.
5. Smith and Johnson.
Sounds like a talcum powder company, but these two are far dirtier. They don't get regular accolades but regularly do their job. Johnson has played all 24 games this year, and Smith 21, and while the likes of Shaw, Malceski and Mattner like to attack from the back, it is Johnson and Smith who tend to the dirty work. They were simply superb against the Pies.
6. Ted Richards.
It's official, Ted Richards has overtaken Nathan Fyfe and Lenny Hayes as the player with the most mentions in The Tackle this year. He was brilliant again, and this time on a wonky ankle. He left the ground for repairs -- a jab? -- and returned to be the general of the backline. Two aspects of his game stood out. 1) His marking and spoiling as third man-up and 2) The collision with Andrew Krakouer, which left Krakouer sick and sore. Of course, a wonderful season will be on the line this weekend. Does he get Franklin? Probably. It could be the match-up which decides the game
Honourable mentions; Harry O at the back, Tarrant's career, O'Keefe's 11 tackles and nine clearances and 30 touches, Rhyce's running, McVeigh's leadership, Sydney's smothering, Goodes in the middle,
1. Dale Thomas.
The problem with being a match-winner is that when you have a quiet one, the spotlight shines bright. This is not so much about his performance against the Swans, for he tried to break the lines and make an impact, but instead about the whole of the season. Rated the best player in the game for period last year, Thomas rarely got to the same level this year. Injuries, head-space, greater awareness from the opposition ... only Thomas knows why his impact dropped.
2. Sharrod Wellingham.
He has been as flighty this year as Collingwood has been, and never really got to the levels of previous years. Looks best when he tags but he was in no-man's land against the Swans. A couple of times he had the chance to take the ball but was hesitant in his thinking and actions and in a game like this one, it stood out. Who knows if he will re-sign, but his bargaining position isn't as strong as it was 12 months ago.
2. Steele Sidebottom.
Had a ripper game against the Hawks in the first final, and the Eagles in the second, but was very disappointing in this one, having just two touches through the first quarter and a half. He finished with 16 for the game, but many came roaming around the back. With Wellingham and Sidebottom down, the Swans easily won the midfield battle.
4. Bad traits.
Thought the criticism of Ben Johnson's kicking across his career was over the top, but the most vocal will point to this game to support their argument. He had 21 possessions coming off half back at just 57 per cent efficiency. It wasn't pretty but Johnson wasn't alone. Sydney's pressure had an impact on plenty of Collingwood players: Swann (48 per cent), Beams (56 per cent) and Thomas (55 per cent).
5. Forward pressure.
Let's not bash a kid, but Ben Sinclair was there to apply pressure to Sydney's running brigade, yet didn't nail a tackle. Krakouer landed two tackles, Dawes zero and Fasolo two, which as a collective was poor. Up the other end, Mitch Morton made seven tackles which was the second most from Sydney behind Ryan O'Keefe's 11. From afar, it looked as though Collingwood lacked the necessary intensity and responsibility. Four Swans players had more than 10 possessions each in the third quarter, and who was manning who was virtually impossible to identify.
1. Ben Stratton.
The great mark rivals the great goal, but there's nothing like the great tackle. And this was a matter of inches. Callinan missed Dangerfield on the lead, who collected the ball on the half-volley. The expectation was that he would turn Stratton inside out, but Stratton wouldn't have it. He corralled and then dived at Dangerfield, pinning him around the waste and dragging him to the ground. The ball spilled, was taken upfield where Cyril Rioli got it to Franklin who goaled. That was the moment. That was the game. That was Stratton's finest moment
2. Kurt Tippett.
Perhaps the best game of his career in what might be his last game for the Crows. He took two early marks playing high and then several more when deep in forward line made him the most dangerous big man on the ground. He kicked four and took 11 marks and did exactly what was required. He had help from Taylor Walker, however. Walker kicked four and kept Gibson so busy that third-man-up was wishful thinking. Gibson had 16 spoils against Collingwood in the first final, but just four against the Crows. It was terrific coaching from Brenton Sanderson, and excellent execution from Tippett and Walker.
3. Cyril/Buddy.
Those arguing against Rioli's inclusion in the All Australian should either apologise or own up to not knowing the importance critical possession against quantity of possession. Rioli had a season-high 26 touches and a team-high eight marks, and his on-field relationship with Franklin was a joy to watch. Franklin kicked 3.5 and was more dangerous than his scores tell us. To Hawks fans, how lucky you are to have two spectacular players in the one team.
4. Shaun Burgoyne.
They call him silk, but he should be called gun. Just 15 touches and two clearances, and the two clearances came in the final minutes. After the Crows hit the front, Burgoyne beat Dangerfield head-to-head at the next centre bounce and his clearance was marked by Rioli. That was priceless. The better clearance, however, was the final clearance of the game. Someone had to win the ball, and if it was any of the Crows, it was a quick kick into the forward line, and anything might've happened.
5. Dangerfield/Sloane. The young guns had to stand up, and Sloane did in the first half and Dangerfield in the second. Sloane led all possession winners at the long break, which included a 50m goal on what many think is a dubious right foot. Dangerfield had 18 touches in the second half, including 11 in the final quarter. Dangerfield also had a game-high nine clearances. Have said it before, but these two players are born finals players. Their intensity and desire for the contested ball is exactly what is required in a hostile environment and their reputations have only been enhanced.
6. Brad Sewell's third quarter.
Not always into numbers, but can't ignore Sewell in the premiership quarter: 12 possessions, six contested, six clearances and three inside 50s. To emphasise his remarkable 30 minutes, Dangerfield had nine clearances for the game and Sewell had, I think, five in the first 15 minutes of the third quarter. Considering the ball-winning capabilities of both teams in the middle, that 15-minute patch has to be Sewell's best of his career. He is often overlooked in comparison to Sam Mitchell, and his season numbers stack up pretty solidly against Mitchell's. Someone said he was $251 for the Brownlow Medal. Each way maybe?
Honourable mentions: Crows' desperation and intensity, Richard Douglas' last quarter, McKay in defence, Luke Breust's brilliance,
1. Hawks defence.
The query remains on Ryan Schoenmakers, who was torched by Tippett, and his match-up this week will be receive hours upon hours of scrutiny. Still, as a group they would be disappointed with several aspects on Saturday night, namely how Taylor Walker was able to mark the ball with 40-odd seconds to play. Walker had two opponents, Gibson being one, and he was able to lead up through a vacant corridor. Where were the hole-fillers? Gibson was angry with one teammate in defence, but he should've angry with his midfielders. No one ran back to help.
2. That said:
Walker marked the ball with 42 seconds to play and by the time he kicked it and the goal was registered, the clock had dwindled to 16 seconds. He had to move it quicker. Have a query though. I've always argued in this type of situation that a player should put the ball on the ground, or throw it away a couple of metres, so the umpire would be forced to call time-on. Walker, in fact, did place the ball on the ground at the top of the run-up but the clock kept ticking. It could've saved 10 seconds, and in this game, they might've been crucial.
3. Scott Thompson bashing.
Some of the commentatriate thought it was duck season on Thompson when he marked with a minute to play, held the ball, and then kicked backwards to a teammate. It was unfair criticism. Thompson had two Crows forwards down the line against five Hawks players so kicking to that hole would've been a serious error of judgment. Instead, the Crows were able to pin-point short passes through the wing and half-forward before hitting up Walker on the lead. Thompson was magnificent all night, and was able to keep a cool head at the end, unlike some.
4. Jittery Hawks.
Their first quarter was abysmal. Dropped marks dotted their play, and the focus was on Jarryd Roughead early. Jordan Lewis missed a soda, Gibson missed another and so did Gunston, all in the first quarter as well. It was half-way through the first quarter when references to 1999, and Carlton beating Essendon, were first was mentioned. At the end, they scraped through. If they plan on being as jittery against the Swans, it will be game over by quarter-time.
5. Runner.
Still confused about what happened there in the last quarter. Was it the Hawks runner or the Crows runner? I ask because if it was the Hawks runner, then surely it had to be 50m for being too close to the play. That it wasn't paid as a free kick made me think it was the Crows runner.

Update Notes
Updated on: 07/28/2015
Since we last visited XOGisele...
It's hard to dislike Gisele. She's stunning from top to bottom and isn't shy about sharing her amazing body with the rest of us on her personal website. This blonde bomshell does more than just get naked on XO Gisele, though.
You really can't get lost while exploring XOGisele. The website is very easy to navigate and it's got a good design. You won't have any trouble locating its 347 videos or its 204 sets of pictures. That said, I should point out that not all the vids and pics are grouped together.
The movies that Gisele has created specifically for her site can be found in the "videos" area and archived cam shows are waiting for you in the "archives." As for the photos, the ones snapped for the site can be located in the "pictures" section and shots that Gisele snapped of herself are posted in the "candids" area.
The videos are all softcore and show Gisele stripping and playing with her pussy. She occasionally gives you an idea of what she's capable of in the bedroom by demonstrating her skills on a rubber cock. You can watch her get naughty in an embedded player and download her flicks in a couple of formats. The quality of the cam shows isn't as impressive as the other vids, but they're pretty good all the same. The best videos are offered in HD.
Gisele's self-shot photos are fun to look at, but in terms of quality, there's no comparison between them and the shots that have been snapped by professional photographers. The ones taken by pros are crisp, clear and high-res, while Gisele's look like they were taken with a phone, which is probably the case. Saving your favorite pic sets is simple, because you can grab entire galleries in Zip files. You can also save content to a "favorites" section, post comments and rate Gisele's content.
New content continues to be posted and we've seen 10 videos and two photo sets get added in the last 30 days alone. You can use the time between updates to check out the extras. You can catch Gisele on cam twice a week, read her blog and explore the websites that make up the Pacino Network Pass, including Cierra Spice, La Zona Modelos and Taylor Lain.
If it's a softcore site you're after, you could do a lot worse than XO Gisele. With a hot star, a decent amount of content, high-quality material and sweet extras, this website is one worth joining.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Gisele is gorgeous but the only thing that bothered me about her site is all her videos are drowned out by music. id rather hear her than generic techno music. I also think she needs to turn it into a full on masturbation site. I would love to see her actually getting off instead of mostly just striptease. But it's still definitely worth the money!

Which Reality Star Was Lifting Massive Weights at the Gym?
Can you figure out which reality star was working out hard at the gym, rocking impressive 20-pound dumbbells during what appear to be Romanian deadlifts?
The Bravolebrity just finished playing bridesmaid to one of her former co-stars, but apparently she's still trying to look her best even if there isn't a dress to fit into.
If you look closely at her weights, you could say they were made especially for her!

Millionaire optimistic about Latina girlfriend billboard
Millionaires must be impulsive. Me, not so much.
It took me three hours to figure out how to start this column, which is about a La Jolla multimillionaire buying a freeway billboard in Barrio Logan that says, "All I Want for Christmas is a Latina Girlfriend."
The billboard includes the man's mug shot — bald, goateed, smiling — and his email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. Or did until it was defaced Thursday night.
I was shocked ... that he still had an AOL account.
I asked my wife, "Wouldn't earthlink.com have carried more cachet?" That's a lie. I asked: "Aren't you offended by this?"
She's a Latina, and we have two little Latinas at home. I wouldn't want either of them emailing some guy they didn't know, but then again they're not even in the second grade.
My wife shrugged.
"I don't think any Latina would be offended," she said. "We're proud of being awesome."
I love my wife, but I needed a second opinion. So I called a woman who may be the most prominent Latina in two counties: Lorena Gonzalez, secretary-treasurer of the San Diego and Imperial Counties, AFL-CIO, and a candidate for state Assembly candidate. She didn't hesitate. She wasn't offended, either.
"It's an odd way to go about it," Gonzalez said. But her first thought had been: "Of course you want a Latina girl. Doesn't most everybody?"
The billboard went up Monday off Interstate 5 and has been swiveling heads and dropping jaws like a model of any ethnicity ever since. It overlooks the 28th Street exit, and it is visible to all northbound traffic that's leaving heavily Hispanic South County. Also, to Internet traffic.
When this went viral Thursday, my editor suggested that I ask people in the neighborhood about it. But I had a mistress of my own breathing down my neck — deadline — and that evening commute could ruin any relationship.
Luckily, the Internet recognized the man behind the billboard. Even better, someone here had his phone number. Better yet, he talked — reluctantly.
Turns out the guy is loaded, but not full of it. He seems super, super nice.
Twenty-one months ago, he distributed $125,000 in Detroit on the ABC reality show "Secret Millionaire," after producers contacted him because of his history of charitable giving. Five months later, he popped into a fundraiser to give a check for a "free apartment for a year" — that's what he wrote — to an El Cajon woman whose estranged husband had burned down her house and killed her daughter and mother.
The man's name is Marc Paskin, and relationships have long been important to him. His wife Marsha, with whom he has two adult children, died from diabetes-related issues in 2002 after 28 years of marriage.
A Wisconsin native, he has lived in San Diego for 25 of his 63 years and by the ocean in La Jolla for eight of them. He also has a house in Hawaii. (So he must like long walks on the beach. Am I right, ladies?)
Paskin got rich in real estate and runs an investment company that owns commercial property and apartment buildings across the country.
"The billboard is a sincere effort to meet somebody," he said. "It's not a publicity stunt. I'm not promoting a dating service. It is what it is. It's a very weird way of doing it, but my feeling is there's no wrong way to meet somebody. Some people meet at bars, some meet on the Internet, some have friends fix them up. In my case, I put up a billboard."
And got a lot of publicity.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Did you know the history of pumps goes all the way back to ancient Rome and Egypt? And that in Britain, due to a more modern precursor, they're still referred to as court shoes? When it comes to the term "classic," it's hard to get a better pedigree than the pump. Throughout history, designers have done their best to update the basic shape in a variety of ways. Currently, the pointed-toe pump is making its return to fashion over the rounded toe and platform styles of recent years, so we're rounding up some of the best pointed-toe pumps in stores now.
The title says it all, if you own one pair of high heels, it's gotta be a pair like this. These never go out of style. Make sure the heel itself is a respectable 3" to 4" and their chic-factor will last and last.
$112.99 at Zappos.
Red is a wonderful color for autumn, it's rich, sumptuous and reminds us of the prettiest fall leaves. This pair gives something extra with a double ankle strap and tan accents.
$40.17 at Sole Society.
Mirror Finish
Okay, if you only own two pairs of heels, this should be your second. I know, it's similar to the first, but these are your go-to for every hot date and club night you ever have. They work for cocktail parties, too. Very sleek, very sexy.
$84.99 at Zappos.
Inserts of a different color or material are one way to really modernize a shoe that's been around for ages. Whether lace is a current trend or not, these will always be a mix of sweet and sexy that you can feel amazing in.
$54.97 at Piperlime.
We all know now that metallics aren't going anywhere anytime soon. These pumps have d'orsay side cut-outs and undulating uppers for a contemporary twist.
$49.97 at Piperlime.
Shades of Gray
Colorblocking and heel cup cut-outs might sounds like too much, but given the muted colors of these pumps, it's just right. These are interesting without being garish and are ready for the office.
$76.99 at Amazon.
To a T
T-strap uppers make us think of romantic 1940s style, and that vertical line down the center will draw an eye all the way up your gams. The mix of nude and black means these can be another go-to for years to come.
$79.90 at Express.
Okay, I slipped in a tiny platform here, since it's attached to the classy pointed toe and covered in chic leopard print, I'm pretty sure it will pass. If you want to really lengthen the look of your legs, these will do the trick.
$68 at Nasty Gal.
The exposed back zipper, the cross-over straps at the top... this is why women fall in love with shoes. This pair is walking power and sex appeal.
$69.99 at Zappos.
In the Details
This shoe is available in three gorgeous pastel colors, a sleeper trend for fall. So feel free to pick up a pair like this that mixes up au currant style perfectly.
$65.90 at Loris Shoes.

This is a great park for visiting this area. Sites were large and well maintained. We stayed in the older section which had cable and wifi which was weak but usable. Rate reflects weekly rate with PA discount for three nights. It is located where you have to drive through the fuel station in front of the park but it is easy to access. There is a Go-Kart track right next to the sites so it can get a little noisy when they are running especially if you have a site next to the track. We enjoyed our time here and would return again when in the area. - Eagle-Eye

We found this a great place to be close to town, large sites, quiet, mini golf to play. We were in the back in the new part, we didn't need their wi-fi nor cable tv. Car wash and laundry next door. - Gail

Spent a little over a month at the park. They were in the process of adding more sites, fencing and landscaping the property. There is a mini golf/game room/go kart track on the property. The noise from the track can get quite loud and the traffic coming thru park to get to go kart place makes things very dusty. Cable and wifi were included in our rate and we had a brick patio with fire pit at our site. Sites were nice and roomy, very little shade and water was pretty hard. There is a picnic area and playground. Laundry facilities were nearby but not very clean, along with a dog was and car wash. Dog friendly park with nice space to walk dogs. Overall a decent place to stay, especially if you have kids. - am1277

We were greeted on arrival by the host who showed us the types of available sites. The FHU sites were nearly all taken by what looked like worker housing, and were very close together with no shade. We chose an electric/cable only site with some shade, on the grass, for a two night mid-week stay. The location is right in Thief River Falls and is owned by the city. Wi-Fi worked the first day, but not the second; Verizon card worked well. Restrooms and showers were immaculate. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves in NW Minnesota. - Jay Rutherford

Very nice city park. Lots of shade trees. Good size lots (except the FHU sites are tight). We were here 2 nights. Had only planned one, but it was such a nice place we added a night. It does look like there may be some pretty permanent residents, but it is a clean park. WIFI has excellent coverage. FHU includes cable too. Since we were only here originally for a night we stayed in the electric only sites. Water was nearby and a dump station is across the street. - jacknpeg

This is a nice campground but the road noise can get quite loud at times. Their restrooms were nice and very clean. They don't have an office onsite but there is a camp host that was very friendly and very helpful. Wifi is very important to me and theirs was not consistent, but I was able to go to the library to accomplish what I needed. This town has a lot to offer and this campground works well for us whenever we are in town. We will stay here again. Rate reflects a weekly rate. - toypulr

Just a little something I wrote. It's my first romance fic. WARNING RemusSirius. Just light fluff.
Ever wonder why Snape wears High Collars?
ABSOLUTLY NOT FOR THE SQUEMISH!!! Harry/Petunia. Features rape, incest, and murder!
After the DOM, Harry finds that he been betrayed. With noone to help him, execpt for Fleur, he is exiled from England. Harry/Fluer/Blaise
Two things that may or may not have happened to a younger Arthur and Molly.
I knew he was cracking I just wanted to see what would happen.
A day at the beach is not quite on the top of Remus' favorites list, but if it's for Sirius... It might not be that bad.
Draco is not a pawn, and Harry had a choice.
This was not what was supposed to happen; the great, unavoidable distance.
They just don't know how to make it work.
Sirius seeks out Remus, who is sulking in the bath, to tell him he's sorry.
Crouch, jrxSinastra. An unconventional romance relived, while dancing at the Yule Ball.
Five-year-old Ginny and six-year-old Draco are taken to a Ministry party and told by their parents not to speak to each other. Naturally they seek each other out immediately...
See me get sick about hearing about the movie Gigli. See me write this in response. Written before HBP came out, but fits in remarkably well with it anyway.
The summer before sixth year the Dursleys take their abuse of Harry one step too far. What will happen when he realises the Order aren't there for him anymore?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) _ Lieutenant Governor Jeff Kottkamp plans
to observe Veterans Day by placing a wreath at a London chapel
while in Great Britain on a trade mission.
Kottkamp will pay homage Monday at the American Memorial Chapel,
part of the famed St. Paul's Cathedral.
British people created the chapel to commemorate Americans who
gave their lives in World War II. Britons also honor their veterans
on November 11 but call it Remembrance Day.
Kottkamp also will participate in a London travel show to
promote Florida tourism. He then goes to DJusseldorf, Germany, to
boost Florida businesses at a life science trade show.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, voted in support of the U.S. House of Representatives' transportation bill. The bill could stop investments for important local programs that help improve safety for kids who walk and bike to school, as well as locally driven projects that enhance livability and safety for all residents.
I am concerned that this legislation reverses past gains and paves the way for state- and federally driven highway projects focused solely on automobile traffic. Such projects lead to miles of sprawl, costing more in gas and community health problems.
Herrera Beutler needs to know that her constituents want transportation improvements that include opportunities for active transportation and make our communities safer, healthier and more livable. Examples such as the 2010 Bicycle Master Plan and the success of Proposition 1 in protecting transit funding make it clear that livability is a local priority.
Residents of Clark County expect safe, healthy streets and livable communities supporting active transportation options. This is a priority for employers, families and our aging population. I invite Herrera Beutler to see how these local priorities are important to her constituents.

Batman Vs. Superman Set Pic Ignites Speculation Over The Joker
By Sean O'Connell 2 years ago comments
Innocent photograph shared from the set of Batman vs. Superman or an elaborate tease for the possible appearance of a legendary villain?
That has been the debate on various corner of the Net today after Man of Steel 2 cinematographer Larry Fong shared a simple photograph of a playing card embedded into a concrete slab. (See above.) Why? No explanation was given, which is the fastest way for the rabid dogs of Internet gossip to scream, "Joker!" at the top of their collective lungs.
As Batman reveals go, it was nowhere near as sweet and subtle as this:
But Larry Fong knows you cant just share a playing card without threatening to tumble the entire, delicate house of cards Zack Snyder currently is constructing in Michigan on the set of Batman vs. Superman. So lets talk about this. Could the Joker be in Snyders Man of Steel 2 (or whatever it ends up being called)? Sure. Warner Bros. and DC Comics appear to be using this movie as the evolution of their on-screen universe, so populating it with iconic figures is necessary. But we already know that Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) are on board, as is Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) as the chief villain. Is there room for the Clown Prince? Not really, but hed make a fantastic end-credits sequence building into Zack Snyders Justice League movie, wouldnt he?
Now, Larry Fong was somewhat quick to diffuse the situation but even his word choice was vague. Movies.com editor Erik Davis joked about Fongs tweet, and the cinematographer responded. Look at this back and forth, and make of it what you will:
A "card trick." Thats all? Why are they pulling off card tricks on the set of Batman vs. Superman? Shenanigans! OK, fine. Im sure its nothing. But maybe its something? Im not sure Id want to be the actor who immediately followed up Heath Ledgers Oscar-winning portrayal of Batmans legendary nemesis. But we said the same thing after Jack Nicholson, and look what that got us.

Migratory soaring birds in Jordan
The project aims to conserve more than 1.5 million of birds that migrate every year within the extended Rift Valley area in Jordan by using and improving existing law enforcement practices. This is being done through targeting the community of hunters in Jordan.
- Disconnection of Port Sudan Killer Line
The infamous Port Sudan power line, which is estimated to have electrocuted hundreds and perhaps thousands of Endangered Egyptian Vultures since its construction in the 1950s, was switched off. This decisive action follows years of work by BirdLife Partner BSPB (BirdLife in Bulgaria), and BirdLife's UNDP/GEF Migratory Soaring Birds project and its local NGO Partner, the Sudanese Wildlife Society.
- Signing of Responsible Hunting Declaration
Prominent Hunters from Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Yemen and Ethiopia have pledged to respect responsible hunting principles when they signed a Regional Declaration on Responsible Hunting during a ceremony organised in coordination with the Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL), BirdLife in Lebanon.
- World Migratory Bird Day 2012/2013/2014
The Migratory Soaring Birds project gathered hundreds of people in various countries of the Rift Valley / Red Sea flyway to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. Celebratory events, organized in each country by the national MSB project partner, emphasized the importance of efficient collaboration between specific target sectors and the conservation of migratory soaring birds. Major national stakeholders from the targeted sectors actively participated in these events, showing an interest and a desire to better understand how to integrate the conservation of birds in their day to day activities and business.
- Development of National Sustainable Hunting Management Plan for Syria
Upon the request of the Syrian government, The Syrian Society for the Conservation of Wildlife, with the support of the MSB project, has developed a short term sustainable hunting management action plan that intends to pave the way towards the implementation of the incoming hunting law and draw the needed socio‐economic, political, cultural and institutional environment within which policies and laws will be enforced.

Strong Sad: I minored in holding on wide-shots for too long! (camera proceeds to linger on Strong Sad after he's stopped talking)
"I guess that's the story. But we've still got 59 minutes left in our program, so I guess we'll just sit here..."
— The narrator of Where Are They Now? Kajagoogoo, an Easter Egg from Retarded Animal Babies episode 4
"Why is it that some directors dont know how to move a camera? At times it feels as though I am watching a piece of theatre, but I have seen stage plays where the stage and the actors move more often than the cameras in this story. Moffatt explains in the DVD extras that he likes to rest the camera and let the actors do the work, but when your cast is as lacking as this, you are stuck with no visual stimulation to distract you from their dismal efforts."
—Doc Oho on Doctor Who, "The Visitation"
"Sybok is a passionate Vulcan. He cures peoples' pain with Vulcan-ness. He's got super-emotional powers, and his mission to essentially find Heaven in space somewhere. Yeah, that's the plot. I just wanted to get into the general premise in case you forgot what this fuckin' movie was about; or if you thought you were watching The Hole-Digging & Horse Desert Show."
—Mr. Plinkett, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier rifftrack
"This is actually the first movie I have listed that I havent seen all the way through (my copy was so scratched up it locked up after an hour)...I was staring at a shot of an open field for a full minute before I realized the movie locked up. I thought it was another long shot."
Joel: DO SOMETHING! God...
"Eventually, it gets to the point that you can get up, go to the bathroom, grab a can of pop from the fridge, and sit back down, all without missing anything."
— Op Megs

Reparations for Slavery? The Bill Was Paid–in Blood
In yesterday's Times, the estimable scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. had an odd op-ed article entitled "Ending the Slavery Blame Game. " Whayt made it odd was its construction. At the heart of the piece was Gates' very interesting summary of recent scholarship about the complicity of African tribes in capturing African people and selling them to European and American slave traders. Sandwiching this summary, however, was Gates' bid for op-ed relevance, which was his assertion that this fuller understanding of a broader criminal enterprise would give President Obama "a unique opportunity to reshape the debate over one of the most contentious issues of America's racial legacy: reparations, the idea that the descendants of American slaves should receive compensation for their ancestors' unpaid labor and bondage."
Is the idea of reparations still contentious? I guess it is–if somebody brings it up. But reparations seems to be an idea that had a heyday of argument a decade ago, and was then shelved in favor of ideas more vital. But even at the time of its greatest urgency, it seemed to be one of those self-evidently good ideas that became less good once you got into the practicalities. For one thing, there was the question of where the money should come from. No doubt some of the great slave trade fortunes of the 17th and 18th and 19th have been carefully cultivated and survive, but many have been used up, or, more significantly, destroyed during the Civil War. Moreover, it seems hardly equitable to charge the people whose ancestors arrived on these shores after the Civil War with the cost of paying for slavery. It's very hard to think how my Malanowski forebears, for example, who arrived here in 1905, profited by the institution of slavery. On top of this is the fact that a great many people struggled against slavery and died fighting it. It may seem logical to argue that the descendants of slaves should be compensated by those who supported the institution, but if that is so, is it not just as logical to argue that the descendants of slaves and others should pay compensation to the descendants of the Union troops who died fighting for their liberation? I wonder how Bill Cosby and Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan would feel about that.
But what really rankles about the idea of reparations is that is turns slavery into a civil tort–an argument over back pay. Of course it was something much worse, something profoundly more evil, a society-wide, systematic criminal conspiracy. And in his second Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln specified precisely the price that terminating the conspiracy would exact. Speaking a little more than a month before Robert E. Lee's confederate forces would surrender, LIncoln said "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
Was all the wealth sunk? Well, Richmond was burned, and Atlanta was burned, and the Shenandoah Valley was torched, and the tremendous value embodied by two and a half million slaves was struck from the books. Was every drop of blood drawn by the lash paid for another drawn by the sword? At least 620,000 soldiers were killed during the Civil War; with the limitations on record-keeping, this figure could easily be as high as 700,000. That was out of a population of 30 million. This does not include the physically or psychologically wounded, or civilian deaths caused by combat, or civilian deaths caused by a lack of food or medicine. And it in no way includes the incredible economic devastation wreaked upon the south, destruction so complete that for a century the south was poorer and more backward than the rest of the country (and let's face it, Mississippi and Alabama still are.) The destruction fell on north and south alike: sons of southern slaveholders and sons of northern slave ship owners both died, as did the sons of families north and south who did not engage in the slave trade but who acquiesced in its existence.
And of course, some of the last blood shed belonged to Lincoln, in a futile effort to achieve the long-lost war aims of the south. Lincoln saw that the evil was not civil but moral, that the evil perpetrated was Biblical in its proportions, and that the price that had to be paid was stupendous. Those who seek reparations should visit the Union cemetery at Gettysburg or Hollywood cemetery in Richmond or any of dozens of other graveyards: there is your treasure.
