Product Details
Protective "Gunk" Shield The KD comes with a removable gunk shield to protect the display and keys from any concoction you might be mixing up. This is perfect if ya plan to use the 7000 as a candle making or soap making scale.
Programmable Auto-Off Feature If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program the 7000 to turn off automatically, or to stay on until you turn it off yourself.
Bright Backlit Display This table top kitchen scale has a fancy backlit display to help ya see your weight readings, even in dim lighting. Not only that! This digital scale's display will tell ya if it's holding a weight, if ya pressed the tare button, and the unit you're weighing with.
Tare Feature The tare button on the front of this digital food scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the item you're adding. This sure is useful if ya want to use a separate bowl for mixing up your ingredients.
Hold Feature This feature lets ya remove weight from the scale and keep the weight reading on the display. This sure comes in handy if ya need to remove your item from the scale, or if you're having trouble seeing the weight display.
Stainless Steel Platform This digital food scale has an easy to clean, stainless steel weighing platform. The good thing about stainless steel is, unlike gold or silver, it doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
It Remembers The Last Unit Ya Used If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like ounces for instance), it can be a real pain if your scale always turns on ready to weigh in grams. It's a good thing the KD 7000 turns on displaying the unit of measurement you were using when ya turned it off.
30 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! If ya have a problem with this scale, just send it to MyWeigh's warranty center in Phoenix, Arizona. They'll fix or replace your scale and send it on its way back to ya within a week of receiving it. You should expect your replacement to arrive in about two to three weeks from the day you send the original off. Keep in mind that sometimes MyWeigh runs out of stock, which can cause a delay in the warranty replacement process.

I consider my self extremely lucky when I accidentally came across this product. I couldn't believe the quality! It well exceeds my expectations beyond belief! Thank you also for the super fast service.Reviewed by: Raquel from Corpus Christi on (3/6/2016)
I previously owned a KD8000 scale which unfortunately disappeared during a move from Illinois to Ohio. I was looking to replace it and saw this scale (KD7000) which was identical to the KD8000 except it didn't do Baker's Math (a method to scale baking recipes). Even though I use it primarily for baking bread, I didn't use the Baker's math feature enough to justify the $10.00 price difference. The scale is extremely easy to use and very accurate. I switch between grams and ounces a lot and it just takes a push of a button even with items on the scale. I also use the tare feature (again just a push of a button) when adding flour, water, yeast and add-ins to make a dough. The platen is large enough and with no lips allows the use of almost any flat bottomed bowl for measuring ingredients. Recently, I have begun using the scale for measuring portioning items for meals. Here the switching between ounces and grams is really convenient. Also having ounces accurate to two decimal places helps with portioning. All in all, a great scale at a great price.Reviewed by: Paul Mihalyov from Tallmadge OH on (2/25/2016)
I use the scale to count calories. The tare function makes it easy to add items to a pot with no hassle and know exactly how many grams/calories are going in. Of course, you have to know the calories per gram for each food item. But, with a calorie per gram list on hand (and a calculator if your lousy at math as I am) it's a breeze. I love this scale.Reviewed by: Tony from Bellingham, WA on (1/28/2016)
I have never had digital scale before and this scale is so nice. It is perfect for my needs. I have started a weight loss program and love that I can weigh my portions. I think anyone considering this scale would be happy with it. And Old Will Knott's website it easy to use and the scale arrived in a timely manner and unscathed. Just yesterday, I recommended this site to someone who was considering purchasing a scale.Reviewed by: Sharon Weiss from Indiana on (1/24/2016)
I am a soap maker and have had two scales prior to this one and in NO WAY were they in the same category as this scale! To measure soap supplies I could not be happier! It even stayed in ounces rather then than switching to lbs. I was over the moon! Never have I had such a nice scale and it could not be easier to use! LOVE LOVE LOVE, and I got mine on sale so it was cheaper (only in price) than one of the two I mentioned above. Do Not hesitate to order anything from this company either their customer service is stellar! PERFECT SCALEReviewed by: BethN from Washington on (1/24/2016)
Old Will Knott Scales, Thank you for a great deal and a great product and service - I like everything about it! Best, ACReviewed by: Asbjorn Christiansen from Los Angeles, CA on (12/8/2015)
This scale was highly recommended for soap making by almost everyone. Although I do have a kitchen scale, I wanted one dedicated to this new craft. This scale perfect for it! It's larger than I expected but that's a good thing. I can weigh everything in one big pot, just clear it between each, or use different containers for each...whatever works best at the time. The shield over the front is a bit unwieldy but easy to get used to. Or it can be removed completely and the supplied control covers used. So far I've found the scale to be very accurate. I would urge anyone making soap to add this one to your equipment list!Reviewed by: D. Hinton from Texas on (10/16/2015)
The first one I received was DOA.The second scale works well and is nice appearing. The folks at Old Will Knott Scales service were awesome. Two days after my call I had a replacement scale. Relationships are established when things go wrong. Well OWKS immediately solved the problem and we now have a great relationship!Reviewed by: Kevin from Mount Dora, FL on (9/18/2015)
As a soaper, this scale is everything! I can't believe I got by for so long without it. Treat yourself and your hobby or business to this small wonder.Reviewed by: Monica from Houston, TX on (7/16/2015)
Had my new scale for about a month. Please with the product thus far. Had a few issues where it did not give me the same weight of the same item numerous times to check accuracy...after a few minutes of being plugged in, all is now normal.Reviewed by: Doublegranch from Arizona on (3/3/2015)
Nice scale, have ordered two!Reviewed by: Eleanor Crumpton from Springdale on (12/2/2014)
I bought this scale because I wanted to upgrade and I heard so many good things about it from other soap makers in my online groups. I like it so much that I'll be buying another one to give my son, who is in culinary school. I also purchased the adapter because I was tired of replacing batteries in my old scale.Reviewed by: Linda from East TN on (11/2/2014)
Great service, superb quality and amazing pricesReviewed by: Lisa P. from Danvers MA on (8/19/2014)
great scale. i use it for making hand crafted lotions, creams, lip balms, etc. just what i needed. and great customer service. thanks.Reviewed by: on from san francisco, ca on (8/7/2014)
I had looked at and dreamed about this scale for years, and I finally own it! What's great about it? The multiple weighing modes are perfect for all my needs. The a/c adapter option ensures I won't have to worry about batteries dying in the middle of a batch of soap, lotion or whatever. The large weighing platform leaves me plenty of space to work with even my largest measuring cups. The hold button is fabulous for when I run out of something mid-measure (and have to bust into another jug, bottle, etc.) or when I'm weighing packages for shipment. My only complaint about this scale is, it doesn't measure a gram from zero. In other words, I was making a small batch of a product and needed a gram of an ingredient. It was impossible to do. Customer service was great, and we discovered it's a personality quirk of the scale. To get around it, place your measuring container on the scale, but don't tare it before adding your ingredient.Reviewed by: Sara Nesbitt from Burgaw, NC on (8/5/2014)
I love the scale. I love the price. The customer service was excellent, and prompt. The packaging was very earth friendly too. Thank you so much!Reviewed by: Karen from Corydon, Iowa on (8/3/2014)
This scale is a workhorse! I use it in my Ginger's Garden soap making business and it performs like a champ! I was able to find instructions on how to disable the auto-off feature, since I make bigger batches and need to tare in between. This is my second KD7000 as I have dedicated the first one to making other skin and body care products. I have the AC adapter, so I don't have to worry about batteries. I'm giving this scale 5 stars!Reviewed by: Irena from Palm Springs, CA on (7/24/2014)
This is a good little scale for the money. Not sure I would reorder it for making soap though. I was using a very pricey scale (which finally died after 14 years) that measured to .000 for ounces and was extremely accurate. This one only measures to .00 for ounces and the second number skips from .00 to .05 etc. That's such a small amount, it's insignificant for making soap so I can live with it. Not sure I'll be able to use this scale for making lotions etc. which require exact measuring and the gram resolution is only to .0. The only other thing I don't like is that it cuts off after 2 minutes, even when plugged into an electrical outlet. The manual gives instructions for programming the scale to stay on for 5 minutes but I can't get that to work. Other than that, it's a very nice scale -- especially for the money.Reviewed by: Jan from Clayton, Georgia on (7/3/2014)
I really like this set of scales for weighing out my oils and such for making soap. I can weihg more at a time with this set than I could with the set I purchased from another company. I like the panel protector, just wipe it off. I really like the adapter, no more batteries to worry about going out in the middle of weighing. To sum it up, I love my new scales.Reviewed by: christine bozeman from Linden, TN on (3/26/2014)
I want to say how much I love this new scale. I had two other scales I purchased locally that worked okay, but didn't offer the features that this one does. I also have to say how awesome their customer service is. The original scale I received was not weighing properly so I called customer service. They were extremely helpful and had a new scale to me within a week. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing a quality scale.Reviewed by: Sue Shaffer from Virginia Beach, VA on (3/23/2014)
I use my scales to weigh oils and such for making soap. I have previously bought 2 cheap scales from our local walmart in the past year. They were cheaply made and could not hold up to eery day use. My KD7000 scale is perfect! I love it!Reviewed by: DeeDee Soaper from Pollok Texas on (3/4/2014)
Searched for a home scale to use in my baking hobby. The KD-7000 (on sale from Old Will Knott Scales) seemed to fit the bill for weight limits, functions, and budget. It was promptly shipped and was exactly as described. 100% satisfied customer!Reviewed by: Rich Howard from Jenks, OK on (2/10/2014)
I got this scale for soap making. It's a great scale. Measures in oz., grams, lbs. I've used it for a few months now; compact, light, sturdy, accurate, easy to use & store and I love it. I would order another one if I needed 2. But, what I found to be the most impressive was the AMAZING customer service of this company. In today's profit-1st-people-2nd-corp. world finding a company that still has that home-town integrity, is genuinely friendly and cares about their customer's satisfaction 1st is a rarity anymore. Thank you for the great scale but more than that, for going above & beyond and actually caring about customer satisfaction. I couldn't be happier with my purchase or my shopping experience. Will definitely be back!Reviewed by: Terri from FL on (1/2/2014)
So far I love my new scale. I like the size of the platform - you can put a container on it and still see the weight screen. And,the cover over the buttons, such a good idea!Reviewed by: Linda Brittain from Bee County, Tx on (11/12/2013)
We use these scales on a production line for clay hot/cold packs. Over the course of a year they take abuse - nearly a million packs get plopped down on them to check weigh our product. These scales consistently stay calibrated for over a year, before regrettably, we have to replace them. We always buy another set and they still work great!Reviewed by: Rob from Springfield, Illinois on (10/29/2013)
An extremely accurate precision instrumentReviewed by: Terry L Howes from Sweet Home, Oregon on (10/22/2013)
This scale is SO much fun! I love using it. It's also very stylish. I started the latest edition of the DASH diet, "The DASH Diet, Weight Loss Solution" and bought this scale to help me. It is helping me succeed. It is so easy and I absolutely love the "tare" function.Reviewed by: ROBIN from HUNTSVILLE TX on (9/22/2013)
I had set up my new balance, and my husband, a research engineer, came over and looked at it and asked, "What brand is it?" I said, I don't know, but it does what I want it to do. He said, "I would have bought Ohaus." At that point, I went to my computer and found that something similar cost from $450 to $1600!! I have used scientific instruments during my science teaching career, and I am thoroughly pleased with the ease of use and accuracy of this model, and I especially love the price since it came out of my pocketbook!!! Just think how much money I saved!Reviewed by: Ellen Nelson from Athens, GA on (9/5/2013)
I had been looking for some scales that would be useful for home-brewing. After a short search, I found Old Will Knot. Not only are these scales what I was looking for, but the 30-year warranty is unheard of. I ordered a set, and the quality is very good and the features are very good as well. Looking forward to several years of service.Reviewed by: Thomas from Colorado on (8/21/2013)
This scale is wonderful...I cant say enough about it...very very pleased. You will not be sorry for buying this oneReviewed by: wlliam from nm on (8/12/2013)
Great service! Thanks Old Will Knott. I've had the scale for a few weeks and have used it daily in the kitchen. The only thing I would say is if you're looking for a more sensitive measurement below 1gram, this isn't the scale for you.Reviewed by: MJ from Milwaukee on (5/22/2013)
I use the scale to weigh out lead to put in my RC airplanes to balance them in addition to weigh out portions for her diet. I also use it to weigh the total weight of smaller RC airplanes. It has come in very handy and I like the two digit accuracy in the ounce mode. Easy and intuitive to use. The plastic weigh table (covered in metal) is easy to clean. I suggest that the company's package designer incorporate a place in the insulation container to store the batteries and extra clear plastic key board covers when the scale is being stored. The plastic tab use on the batteries when shipped, be changed to an easy to see color rather than clear. I am glad I got it and if this is the type of scale you need, I fully and hardy recommend it.Reviewed by: Bob from Lowell, IN on (2/24/2013)
Hi there, I've had my "My Weigh KD-7000 Silver Multi-Purpose Digital Scale" for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It was exactly what I was looking for. The only issue I have is that the "protective gunk shield" broke when I tried to slide it out, following the instruction in the manual. I don't mind not having it but it was frustrating when it broke the first day I used the scale. ThanksReviewed by: Sally from Henniker on (11/27/2012)
I've owned one of these scales for several years. The 7000 gram range (over 15 pounds!) allows all sorts of direct measurements without using a collection of containers to measure piece-meal. I recently bought a second scale for our winter home. I use the scale exclusively in the kitchen, for making our daily coffee, making bread, and various tasks. I made up an ingredients spreadsheet listing weights of ingredients that are difficult or messy to measure, such as molasses, mustard, flour, peanut butter, oil, etc. With this list and this scale, baking or creating technical things with lots of ingredients such as sauces or sausage spices is very repeatable. Things comes out the same every time, and the scale allows for making minor ingredient changes: "a little to sweet?" use 20 grams less sweetener next time, etc. Over time, you can develop recipes that are constant and reliable. If the folks at Old Will Knott Scales sold used cars and washing machines, I would not hesitate to buy from them. They have a very personal approach to selling. Even though it is a '.com' store, it just feels right!Reviewed by: Paul Dietrich from B.C., Canada on (11/13/2012)
I don't know what makes a good scale but this seems to work as a scale ought to. One thing I like is the ounces don't switch to pounds + ounces once you pass 16Reviewed by: Jortge from Miami on (8/21/2012)
I spent an hour in a store trying to figure out if their digital scales did what I needed them to do. I came home, found the Old Will Knott Scales website, and in five minutes found exactly what I needed. The price was great, it arrived very quickly, and it is easy to use. I just started making soap as a hobby, and this scale is helping me turn out successful batches time after time.Reviewed by: Susan from California on (7/27/2012)
I rec'd my scale as stated! Just take it out of the box and start using. It will pay for itself over and over!!! This machine is easy to read and like that it has a back light. It has a coating to protect itself from all the goop that could fall onto it. I made a few batches of soap and it was really hard to get the correct measurements. Soooo glad I ordered this scale! Thanks for such a great machine!Reviewed by: Shirley Howard from NC on (7/20/2012)
Very bright and easy to read display. Scale is quick, simple, and accurate, and the price is right--what more could you ask for?Reviewed by: Randy from Montana on (4/18/2012)
The accuracy of this scale is generally +/- 1 gram from 0 to 1000 grams. Above this the accuracy is +/- 1 gram plus +/- 0.1%, which makes it parallel to laboratory grade, which is scarcely believable ... given the exceptionally low price. Many other scales do not make this grade and cost much more!Reviewed by: Andy Harbeck from California on (2/28/2012)
This is my third purchase of this item. Great performance and cheap enough to buy extras instead of moving around. I also gave one as a gift. Highly recommended.Reviewed by: Richard from Texas on (1/23/2012)
Thank You for a product that works great right out of the box! Easy to use and works just like the description on the Website! This is a company that you can trust! And I will use again!Reviewed by: Cathi from California on (12/19/2011)
Questions and Answersask a question
A: Hey there Robyn,
For the sake of answering your question, lets look at ounces only. The 246.9 oz figure represents the maximum capacity the scale can handle. The 0.05 oz figure has to do with how the scale will display the weight. It will only display weights in multiples of 0.05 oz. (Ex. 1.05 oz to 1.10 oz to 1.15 oz to 1.20 oz)
Take care,
A: Hey there Vito,
The AC adapter is $8.72, however the prices are subject to change. Here's a link if you're interested: http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/ac-power-adapter-for-kd-7000.html
Take care,
A: Hey there Paul,
As long as you place the order before 2:00pm Mountain Time, the order will ship the same day. From Colorado, it will take approximately 4 business days to reach Oregon.
Take care,
A: Hey there Prakash,
No, unfortunately the KD7000 is not NSF certified.
Take care,

The Stars That Popularized Paramedicine
Bellflower, Calif.
This fall a new series, "Ambulance Drivers," will air on CBS. For viewers who grew up watching "Emergency!" the bar will be set high. That popular NBC show about Los Angeles County paramedics, produced by Jack Webb, had a long run beginning in January 1972, and the L.A. County Fire Museum, crammed into a nondescript warehouse in this suburb just south of downtown L.A., is hoping that an open house on Saturday at the Robert A. Cinader Memorial Station 127 in nearby Carson (the real-life fire station that served as the fictional Station 51 on the show) will bring the museum some much-needed publicity.
"Emergency!" was about two firefighters, John Gage (Randolph Mantooth) and Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe), who were pioneers in a brand new specialty called paramedicine. (Bobby Troup, the jazz artist and composer of "Route 66," played one of the emergency-room physicians on the series. And jazz singer Julie London—who was the wife of Troup and the ex-wife of Webb—played a nurse.)
When Mr. Mantooth auditioned for his role, "I didn't know what a paramedic was," he said by phone. The actor went on to appear in a number of movies, soap operas and public-service announcements for carbon-monoxide poisoning, but said he is still best remembered for "Emergency!"
"Almost every day I have guys come up to me and say, 'You're why I became a firefighter.' It's humbling."
And for once, television got it exactly right. The creative credits for "Emergency!" go to Webb—whose police dramas "Dragnet" and "Adam-12" were hits—and writer-producer Robert A. Cinader. But technical credit for the show goes to real-life L.A. County Battalion Chief James O. Page. He took Cinader and his writers on ride-alongs to real fire and paramedic calls, edited scripts on set to make the fictional battalion chief sound like the real thing, and ensured the actors dressed and acted like real firefighters, right down to wearing their helmets en route to a call. He even supplied real L.A. County firefighters for some of the action scenes.
All of this is told well at the museum, home to the three vehicles that were used in "Emergency!" as well as some 60 historic fire apparatuses. Some have been fully restored, while others show every year of their age. All tell the history of firefighting in the U.S.
Among the items on display is a pre-Civil War see-saw pumper that was pulled by hand to the scene of the fire. The museum is also home to one of the largest collections of horse-drawn steam pumpers in the country, dating from 1888 to 1907. Three of the pumpers, which would have been pulled by two or three horses and could pump between 500 and 1,000 gallons a minute, saw action in L.A.; the other four are from Cedarville, Ohio, Portland, Ore., Sacramento, Calif. and Chicago.
The Sacramento pumper, a 1903 American Metropolitan, is indicative of the time and effort that goes into a restoration. It took nearly seven years for volunteers to completely disassemble it, restore and repair pieces, and put it all back together. Much of the specialty work—casting, fabricating, nickel plating and gold leaf—had to be sent out.
"Chrome is much easier to maintain and keeps a sharper shine much longer," said Paul Schneider, an L.A. County fire captain who is president of the museum. "They simply did not have chrome in 1903, so for accuracy we have all plated parts done in nickel."
This work is expensive and had to be spread out because the museum gets no funding from the fire department. It is supported by the work of volunteers and $20-a-month donations from the more than 2,500 L.A. County firefighters, most of whom agree to have the money taken out of their paychecks.
As such, the museum, which is open only on the first Sunday of every month, is hoping that the "Emergency!" celebration will draw attention to its wonderful collection of historic fire vehicles and help it raise the $20 million it needs to construct a new 60,000-square-foot museum. The Saturday open house is expected to draw former cast members, as well as firefighters and fans of the show from around the world. But the stars will be the three vehicles that were used in the series.
51 in Quarters
Robert A. Cinader Memorial Station 127
July 9
Squad 51, the paramedic rescue vehicle driven by fictional firefighter-medics Gage and DeSoto, was restored some 10 years ago at a cost of about $30,000 and has been seen in promotional appearances across the country. Also on display will be a 1965 Crown pumper, the last open-topped engine in service in L.A. County and the fictional Engine 51 for the first two seasons of the show. The other Engine 51 is a 1972 Ward LaFrance. After the show, it was in service in Yosemite National Park. In August 2008 Joe Woyjeck, an L.A. County fire captain and vice president of the museum, arranged to have the fire truck, which needed to be completely restored, sent to the museum. To finance the job, the museum has managed to get some minimal funding from corporate sponsors and private donations from firefighters and "Emergency!" enthusiasts across the country. But much of the burden will rest with the volunteers.
"We don't have much time to get Engine 51 restored. It's going to be close," Mr. Schneider said with a chuckle earlier this year.
The fictional Squad 51 never missed a call. I don't think these guys will either.
Mr. Yost is a writer and firefighter-paramedic in Highwood, Ill.

Hey guys
I'm new here (dur)
I'm Chris, I'm 16, and I'm looking for a budget way to get into biking
I'm currently in 3 other Hobbies,so this is gonna be my 4th.
I'm broke as is with the other Hobbies, but I wanna start cycling to get into shape. Lately ice started to get fatter and fatter because I don't exercise. Biking is fun, so I wanna start
Yesterday I was at my local bike shop, and I wanted to get new gears for my specialized hard rock
Then I found out, its gonna cost a full $200+ to upgrade to the newer style crank that I can change individual gears with, and a new rear hub where I can switch the gears, and I figured, its cheaper to sell my current bike and get the new hard rock which would also comes with disk breaks
so I'm looking for the 2010 model hard rock that is completely stock. I wanna buy new stuff, so if you guys could, please reccomend me to stores that have it
I've. Live in so-cal, in LA. Incycle only has 19" versions, and I need a 17"
For my other Hobbies, they are RC racing, paintball and photography
I'm mainly looking for a hybrid bike , so the hard rock fits my needs perfectly

Ohno in South Korea amid tight security: Arriving in South Korea for the first time since his disputed gold medal at the 2002...
Ohno in South Korea amid tight security: Arriving in South Korea for the first time since his disputed gold medal at the 2002 Olympics, short-track star Apolo Ohno of Seattle attempted to soothe relations by praising the country's devotion to speedskating and pointing to the capricious nature of the high-speed sport.
But Ohno's appearance at the second World Cup meet of the year clearly struck a nerve with the South Koreans, who were livid when one of their skaters, Kim Dong-sung, finished first in the 1,500 meters in Salt Lake City but was disqualified for blocking Ohno — giving gold to the U.S. skater.
About 100 riot police stood guard as Ohno arrived at Incheon International Airport outside Seoul, ensuring no one carried out threats that were made against him after his Olympic victory.
Ohno wanted to hold a news conference for local reporters to explain his side of what happened in Salt Lake City, but organizers restricted his access to the media.
"I really wanted to set something up," Ohno said by telephone. "People have questions about what I've been doing the past couple of years. I want them to know I'm excited to be here. I want to put a lot of things on the table. A lot of Koreans are not familiar with me. They only know what they see on the news or what somebody else says. I want to let them know a little bit about me and take it from there."
Ohno severely sprained an ankle during a World Cup meet in China last week after being pushed by another skater. He said the ankle felt "much better" as he prepared for his first practice in South Korea.
Thrashers hope to meet with holdout: Ilya Kovalchuk will be in Atlanta this week to see his new daughter, and the Thrashers hope they can meet with their holdout forward during his visit.
Kovalchuk, a restricted free agent and the team's top scorer, is threatening to play this season in his native Russia if he can't agree on a contract with the Thrashers.
St. Jacques to Anaheim: The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim acquired defenseman Bruno St. Jacques from the Carolina Hurricanes for winger Craig Adams.
Blue Jackets sign top pick: First-round draft pick Gilbert Brule signed a three-year deal with the Columbus Blue Jays, guaranteeing the 18-year-old center a spot on the opening-night roster.
Leschyshyn retires: Defenseman Curtis Leschyshyn, 36, retired, ending a 16-year career in which he was a key part of the Colorado Avalanche's championship team in 1996.
Attorneys ask judge to toss Moore's lawsuit: Attorneys for the Vancouver Canucks, forward Todd Bertuzzi and others asked a Denver judge to throw out a lawsuit filed by former Colorado Avalanche center Steve Moore over Bertuzzi's on-ice attack in March 2004, saying Moore didn't have enough connections to Colorado to gain the right to sue in state court.
U.S. bypasses regulars: With a World Cup berth clinched, U.S. coach Bruce Arena bypassed many of his top players for Saturday's qualifier at Costa Rica.
Among the missing are forwards Landon Donovan and Brian McBride, midfielder Claudio Reyna and goalkeeper Kasey Keller from Lacey.
Former Sounders forward Brian Ching (MLS San Jose) made the team.
Hantuchova advances: Daniela Hantuchova beat Meghann Shaughnessy 6-4, 6-0 at the Porsche Grand Prix in Filderstadt, Germany.
Softball to push for reinstatement: An international softball delegation will meet with IOC president Jacques Rogge today in hopes of winning reinstatement for the 2012 Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee voted in July to drop softball and baseball from the Olympic program after 2008, the first sports cut from the Games since polo in 1936.
Softball, a women's sport that has been on the program since the 1996 Atlanta Games, came within one vote of keeping its place. Rogge has said the IOC could consider a new vote, but only if members ask for one.
Prosecutors seek jail time for Conte: Victor Conte, at the center of the BALCO scandal, deserves four months behind bars, federal prosecutors said in court documents filed yesterday.

United Airlines is delaying its new Denver-Tokyo service - again - because its new Boeing 787 jets remain grounded.
United Airlines is delaying its new Denver-Tokyo service – again – because its new Boeing 787 jets remain grounded.
United said Friday that service between Denver and Tokyo's Narita Airport will begin June 10. The airline had already pushed back the original March 31 start to at least May 12.
The airline said that it was still determined to use the plane on the new route.
The 787, which Boeing calls the Dreamliner, promises a more comfortable ride for passengers and significant fuel savings for airline customers. But all 50 of the planes in airline fleets are grounded because of incidents involving smoldering batteries in January.

Boeing Co.'s fix for the lithium-ion batteries includes putting more space around cells and wrapping the batteries in steel cases.
Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said Friday that the changes "will add several layers of additional safety features" to the batteries. He said Boeing was moving as quickly as possible on the testing and certification process without taking short cuts.
CEO Jim McNerney said Thursday that Boeing feels it is "very close" to getting the 787 approved for passenger flights.
The company conducted a 2-hour test flight of a 737 on Monday over Washington and Oregon and reported that everything went according to plan. Boeing is doing follow-up work in preparation for another test flight in which it would demonstrate the battery system's performance for Federal Aviation Administration experts.
Officials in Denver say they're confident that the flights to and from Tokyo will benefit their city, the metro area and the Rocky Mountain region.

Star Wars Battlefront Shouldn't Have Microtransactions?
Subject: General Tech | October 5, 2015 - 10:24 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, ea, battlefront
So I'm reading PC Gamer and I see an article that says, "Star Wars Battlefront Will Not Use Microtransactions". Given the previous few Battlefield games, this surprised me. Granted, these titles weren't particularly egregious in their use of payments. Everything (apart from expansion packs of course) could be achieved through a reasonable amount of play. That said, it takes a lot of restraint for a developer to not just ratchet the requirements further and further to widen their net, so I can see the problem.
Regardless, by the third paragraph I notice that the representative never actually said that they won't (according to the snippets that PC Gamer quoted). The phrase is simply, "not part of the core design of how it works". Granted, I would expect that EA would poke PC Gamer to correct them if they did intend to release a game in about six weeks, so I feel like their interpretation is correct.
That doesn't change that, according to the quotes, the only thing they promised is for the currency system to be fully accessible without payments. I'm not fully convinced that it will only be accessible without payments, though.
Star Wars Battlefront Beta Will Be Public
Subject: General Tech | September 19, 2015 - 07:56 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ea, Star Wars, Star Wars Battlefront, pc gaming
EA has announced a beta for Star Wars: Battlefront, which will apparently be open for everyone. This will take place in "early October" and contain three game modes, each of the two known ones with a single map. I expect that the third, unknown mode, Drop Zone, will also come with its own map, but it could technically reuse Hoth or Tatooine from Walker Assault and Survival, respectively.
If you are not a fan of online gaming, then EA is supporting single-player Survival mode. You will apparently require an internet connection, but it is unclear whether you need to have it active to play the offline mode, while you play it. Squadron Fighter mode will not be available in the beta, but Walker Assault has a bit of aircraft play, so you should get a taste of the controls (if you can ever find an available vehicle).
EA has also mentioned their Star Wars Battlefront Companion app. This will not be some kind of Commander Mode. It will apparently have a card game and social component. It will be available during the beta as a website, but the iOS and Android app will be "prior to the release of Star Wars Battlefront".
The game will come out on November 17th, while the beta will be available in early October.

EA showed what they described as in game footage of the new Star Wars: Battlefront which was gorgeous and seems to capture the feel of that universe quite well. Tthe more realistic of us worry that this might be in game footage in the same sense as Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs footage from last year and most of us are just hoping EA doesn't find a way to screw this game up more than they already have. From the video below we can see that first and third person views are supported, flying vehicles have been included and jetpacks will be available. We also learned that Luke can apparently time travel from the future into the past. It is hard not to be excited about this release, one can only hope it does not all end in tears.
HEXUS also has a few more EA videos on their page right here.
"EA revealed new video trailers, footage and information about all its hottest gaming titles at the E3 show yesterday. The one and a half hour long presentation, available in full here, included information about Star Wars: Battlefront, Mass Effect Andromeda, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, the Need 4 Speed reboot, a plethora of sports title updates (plus an on-stage interview with Pele) and more."

EA Shuts Down Four Free-to-Play Games. No Refunds.
Subject: General Tech | April 16, 2015 - 08:08 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ea, free to play, battlefield
Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield Play4Free, Need for Speed World, and FIFA World are set to disappear in three months. According to the site for one of these games, Battlefield Heroes, that corresponds to Tuesday, July 14th, 2015. The other three might be plus or minus a little bit, but it sounds like it will be a simultaneous shutdown. Refunds will not be provided, even if you have premium credit remaining unspent on your account. I guess that means that you should burn whatever you have left over while the servers are still running; EA will not accept new accounts or payments though.
The announcement, made by Executive Vice President of EA Studios, Patrick Söderlund, assures players that other EA free-to-play titles are growing in player base and content. He uses Star Wars: The Old Republic as an example, which will receive updates over the year, including ones that build on its narrative.
But this is one of the problems with "free-to-play" and other genres with an authoritative online component: timed life. These titles are not going to be critiqued and celebrated in University courses over the upcoming decades and centuries. It is a difficult balance. On the one hand, it is interesting to create a universe that evolves and possibly mutates based on player interaction. Those experiences disappear though (and so does the money you tie into it). That doesn't mean "don't play them" -- just be aware what you're investing your time, money, and self-expression into.
Is there a Hardline of difference between AMD and NVIDIA?

Tagged: gaming, ea, battlefield hardline
Battlefield Hardline is in public beta for those who have tired of Battlefield 4 and are looking for a new online Frostbite 3 shooter to play and [H]ard|OCP has run benchmarks to show you what kind of performance you can expect. They gathered together three cards from the two companies, a GTX 980, 970 and 960 as well as an R9 290X DD, 290 and 285 with a mix of default and factory overclocked frequencies. As of yet there is no Mantle support in the beta so both vendors are using DX11 in the tests, with the top four cards at 2560x1440 and the remaining two at 1080p, all set to 4X MSAA and Ultra settings except for the Dustbowl map. The GTX 980 takes top spot but the most interesting results are the 290X and 970; the difference is so minuscule that they essentially perform at the same level and the same can be said of the pricing. Also worthy of note is that in only one test did the cards use more than 3GB of RAM and never hit 3.5GB.
"We hopped on the open public beta of Battlefield Hardline this past week and tested performance in all three maps with six video cards to find out how this game performs. We will talk about each map in the beta, and our experiences in terms of performance and gameplay experience so that you will know what to expect in the full game."

Origin's Newest "On the House" Promotion Is SimCity 2000
Subject: General Tech | December 9, 2014 - 09:46 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ea, origin, on the house, SimCity, simcity 2000
Origin, EA's digital distribution platform, occasionally runs a promotion that is called "On the House". The best way to think of it is an abrupt, 100%-off sale. If you "purchase" the free game before they put a price tag back on it, then it is yours to keep. Today, the promotion has been applied to SimCity 2000. Log in to the Origin Store and add it to your catalog.
EA is using money hacks...?
On a related topic, can you believe that SimCity 2000 is just a few months away from its 20th birthday? Some believe that it is the best of the series, although I have never played it. This is one of the many titles that I overlooked, jumping from the original SimCity (Super Nintendo, rented a few times) up to SimCity 3000: Unlimited, which I played until SimCity (2013) launched. Ironically, I received a free copy of SimCity 4 because of the launch issues, so I now have everything from SimCity 2000, onward.
SimCity 2000 is currently free, but will go back up to its regular price at any time.
EA's Dawngate Found Itself Out of Its League?
Subject: General Tech | November 5, 2014 - 06:23 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: moba, free to play, ea, dawngate
Just a couple short weeks after VentureBeat reported, and I discussed, that multiple free-to-play games were on track to make over a billion dollars this year, EA has announced that their competing MOBA, Dawngate, is canceled. The servers will be up for about three more months if you would like to get some last-minute play time in before it goes away. Any money that you spent will not go away, though; EA has committed to full refunds for any transactions that occurred during the beta.
As for employees of the developer, Waystone Games, the open letter thanks them for their dedication, but it does not specifically mention lay-offs or closures. The end of Dawngate could be the beginning of something new, or it could be similar to the recent cancellation of Medal of Honor, where Danger Close was shut down and its employees scattered (many to DICE LA).
Development of Dawngate has ceased, but the game will remain playable until February 2nd, 2015, give or take a few days (depending on how literal they were about "90 days").

Battlefield Will Not Be Annualized Says Patrick Söderlund
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | June 17, 2014 - 11:54 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: battlefield, medal of honor, ea
Last year, we got Battlefield 4. The year before? Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The year before? Battlefield 3. The year before? Medal of Honor (Reboot). We will not be getting a new Medal of Honor this year, because Danger Close was shut down in June 2013. Danger Close developed the two recent Medal of Honor titles and, as EA Los Angeles, many of the previous Medal of Honor titles and many RTS games (Command and Conquer, Red Alert, Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth).
Many of their employees are now working at DICE LA.
So, when a new Medal of Honor title should be released, we get Battlefield: Hardline. A person with decent pattern recognition might believe that Battlefield, or its spinoffs, would fill the gap left by Medal of Honor. Not so, according to Patrick Söderlund, Executive VP of EA Studios. As was the case at E3, where both studios (DICE and Visceral) repetitively claimed that Battlefield: Hardline was the product (literally) of a fluke encounter and pent-up excitement for cops and robbers.
Of course, they do not close the door for annualized Battlefield releases, either. They just say that it is not their plan to have that be "the way it's going to be forever and ever". Honestly, for all the hatred that annualized releases get, the problem is not the frequency. If EA can bring out a Battlefield title every year, and one that is continually a good game, then power to them. The problem is that, with an annual release cycle, it is hard to get success-after-success, especially when fatigue is an opposing, and (more importantly) ever-increasing force.
It is the hard, but lucrative road.
EA Shuts Down Several Multiplayer Games on June 30th
Subject: General Tech | May 18, 2014 - 06:29 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ea, offline, shutting down
Because of how popular it once was, the GameSpy shutdown will affect numerous titles, many of which have been up and running for over a decade. Several games have fallen back on GamesRanger or Steam to perpetuate support, while others are going to sleep for a very long time. EA claims that, despite trying to come up with a solution, several of their titles will go offline on June 30th.
At least this spy would never stab me in... the back... nevermind.
In the following list, I will omit entries which are not for the PC, Mac, or Linux.
- (PC/Mac) Battlefield 1942, and expansions.
- (PC) Battlefield 2, and expansions.
- (PC/Mac) Battlefield 2142, and expansions.
- (PC) Battlefield Vietnam
- (PC/Mac) Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, and expansions.
- (PC/Mac) Command and Conquer: Generals, and expansions.
- (PC/Mac) Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3
- I assume Red Alert 3: Uprising was not listed because it was not online... apparently?
- (PC) Crysis
- (PC) Crysis 2
- (PC) Crysis Wars
- (PC) EA Sports 06
- (PC) Global Operations
- (PC) James Bond: Nightfire
- (PC) Master of Orion III
- (PC/Mac) Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and expansions.
- (PC) NASCAR Sim Racing
- (PC) NASCAR Thunder 2003
- (PC) NASCAR Thunder 2004
- (PC) Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
- (PC/Mac/Linux) Neverwinter Nights, and expansions.
- (PC/Mac) Neverwinter Nights 2
- (PC) Star Wars: Battlefront
- (PC) Star Wars: Battlefront 2
It is possible that titles which support directly joining an IP address might, in fact, continue to work. That said, it might not work for every title. At least it is something to try if you and a group of friends wish to get an organized match going.
The part that confuses me, however, is that GameSpy is going offline at the end of the month. Why then does EA, after being unable to find a workable solution, have an extra month of service? You would think that a solution to provide an extra month would work ad-infinitum, unless they have paid for GameSpy's servers to stay open a little longer for their titles. Then again, who am I to complain about an extra month?

Good product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great bottle, I use it for bike rides. The water stays cold for at least a couple of hours, nice design, I'm planning to buy one extra bottle
Flawless design
Easy to clean affordable and keeps water cold and tasting great!!!!!!!
Deeper jet valve cleaning
Jet valve can separate in two parts for a better cleaning
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are great! We have several of them and use them from workouts, basketball, golf, mountain biking, hiking, road trips...etc. They work well in keeping your drink cold as the insulation does it's job even in 100+ heat. I also love the jet valve as it's handle to get a quick drink and takes little effort.
Like the Podium bottle, but a bit cooler
These bottles work well - they're like the standard Podium bottles I love functionally - but keep your drink cooler. On a hot day it's nice to use one of these for a bit cooler drink. That said, don't expect that you're going to have a cold drink hours into a ride - that amount of insulation isn't conducive to riding a bike.
Here's my trick to best using them. Fill it with ice, then with your beverage of choice. Make this bottle number 2. Then bottle number 1 fill with less ice and your tasty beverage. Drink bottle number 1 first, so that by the time you need bottle number 2 the ice has mostly melted, but your drink is col.
Not as cool as I'd throught
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Build quality is great on this bottle. No complaints, broken parts, or leaks to be heard of. Easy to use, disassemble, and clean. Sizing is great and fits well in my hand, water bottle cages, cup holders, and bags/packs.
Great bottle by all means, but my only complaint is that I don't think the insulation works all that well. Maybe I just forgot how warm an uninsulated bottle can actually get, but I've never thought "Wow! This water sure is cold!"
"Sure, but what's the big deal?"
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Most of the finer points of these great bottles have been made below: Camel back knows hydration, stays cool, durable, etc. I agree with all the highs and some of the lows. Here's why I continue to love these bottles:
Once you've experienced having almost ice-cold water/whatever in the middle of a really, really hot event, you'll forget all about the weight, height, less-than;perfect closure system.
These bottles seem to insulate and preserve ice and temperature far better than others I've used and they've saved many rides so far!
works like a water bottle...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Keeps things cool but couple of things I wish I realized before buying.
1. These are really tall. I didn't think about that before buying and with my frame (54) getting them out is a bit of a pain.
2. The twist lock to close is not my favorite. I prefer the push/pull of the other bottles.
Carries 25oz cool and drip free
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
other bottles have drooled all over my frame and even fouled my bottom bracket.
These work as described and simply don't leak at all when in the closed position; in the open position, liquid won't dispense unless you squeeze the bottle or shake it vigorously. When squeezed, beverage flows smoothly. The insulation keeps your drink cooler than otherwise, bit is not miraculous.
1) the clever nozzle is hard to clean and hard to remove and reattach.
2) the extended capacity makes for a tall bottle that might be tight on your frame. It fits my 61cm frame with just a bit to spare on the seat tube.
3) the bottoms are not flat! The are convex. My pair wobble slightly. For $15/ea, they should sit flat sit they don't tumble easily in the fridge and car.
Cool running
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Hey, if anyone knows anything about hydration it is Camelbak, and this has been a staple in my water bottle arsenal for a few years now. Keeps the ice lasting just a bit longer, easy to clean, and the jet valving is just perfect to not drool all over yourself.
Nice and simple
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
You can't go wrong with these water bottles. I use them for every day riding, and tack on two for centuries. They keep liquids moderately cooler, but the thing I like most is that they're a good capacity and still fit in my cages. My only problem is that the nozzle can be hard to clean, I recommend using a Q-Tip to get the gunk out of there. Then a good soak and clean.
Hands down my favorite waterbottle!
Keeps my water nice and cool on hot days! Love the size - large enough to hold water for a significant hike/bike ride, yet won't weigh you down. Love the no-leak valve. I keep it open on bike rides and it still doesn't leak. I like not having to mess with the opening and closing of a valve while on a ride.
The CamelBak bounce off a cliff bottle
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
No,it didn't,but it could and survive an impact that would shadder any other bottle!
great size
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Took this on a bike ride and the size was prefect, I thought it was better than having two. Not sure about how cold it keeps the water, because it is still cold outside.
great bottle
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this bottle is nice and big so you can carry all the water you need for almost any ride you do. not only does it hold alot of water, it also helps keep your drink cold, so your not having hot water on warm summer ride.
Awesome Bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these bottles for mountain biking. The jet valve cap is awesome and never leaks.
Extra Cool Capacity
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I loved my 21oz Podium Chill enough that I bought the 25oz version. The extra size fits really well into the water bottle cage on the bike, however the added height may have some interference on smaller framed bikes seat/ top tube. When its really hot out I appreciate every extra ounce of fluid I can get. Same great insulation and functionality as the 21oz version.
Nice Bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Actually a bit larger than what I expected - Although still a nice bottle. It does manage to fit in my bike cage, but it's pretty snug. Also comes with a neat switch on the nozzle to block it from leaking.
Just some quick measurements if your interested in it's size
Height: 9.75" w/o Nozzle (+1.5")
Diameter: 3"
Great bottle
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This bottle is great, I did not expected less from camelbak, the water pressure is superb, I use it for biking and it fits perfectly on my bike's bottle cage.
Great bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this for mountain biking and have been very happy with this water bottle! The nozzle, is amazing. Hands down, so much better than any normal squeeze top bottle. I usually avoid squeeze bottles due to leakage, but this does not leak at all! The nozzle locks and unlocks with ease and the water pressure is ideal. The insulation works well, but it doesnt blow me away. Ice will melt but your drink will remain cool... Definitely better than a standard bottle's insulation though. Highly recomened this product, nice work CamelBak!

Dethroned Berlusconi Pushing For Early November Election
Just under a year ago, in early November 2011, the ECB specifically made it a very clear prerogative that it would not buy Italian bonds under the SMP program, or in any other way seek to lower Italian bond yields, which promptly soared to all time highs, as long as the intransigent Silbio Berlusconi, then career PM, remained in his position as head of Italy. A few days after Italian bonds soared, Silvio quietly and reluctantly stepped down, paving the way for that other Goldmanite - unelected technocrat Mario Monti to take over the reins. We are now just over two months until the one year anniversary of the historic Berlusconi ouster by a central bank (whose head amusingly wrote an Op-ed in a leftist German publication that his organization is apolitical; just as the Fed is apolitical until Wall Street darling Chuck Schumer tells Bernanke to "get to work Mr. Chairman"), and suddenly Silvio is back in the picture. As Italian daily Repubblica notes, the former PM "fears the repercussions of a conviction in the Ruby process before the vote" currently scheduled for 2013, and as a result Berlusconi would agree to sign off on a plan to reform the electoral law in the next few days on the condition that early elections will be held in November. Whether or not this means that Silvio is seeking to retain his PM throne, or merely to regain prosecutorial immunity from engaging in various questionable activities (mostly of a sexual nature) is unknown, but the fact that the Italian political theater may regain its old tragicomic luster has us smiling at the prospect of what the end of 2012 has to offer, especially since America's own presidential election will culminate at about the same time.
From Repubblica, google translated:
BERLUSCONI asking for votes in November. "We have no choice, 2013 is too far away, prosecutors persecute me, the judges want to condemn me before the election campaign." The acceleration mature within 24 hours.
Couple under a blanket of marsh apparent in the negotiations between PDL and PD on the electoral law. Takes shape in the fort of Palazzo Grazioli, where the Knight rushes from Sardinia emergency calling to report her: Alfano, Verdini, Ghedini, Bonaiuti. And here's the twist: you have to hurry, immediately approve the reform.
The leader - and the news that the lawyer of former Prime Minister leads to the War Cabinet - looms the very real risk of a conviction at first instance in November and December. The ax of the Ruby process. The curse that haunts him. The nightmare of a campaign to be conducted from January to March, presidential candidate of the Council, with the burden of a judgment fatal to those infamous crimes.
Take a short time, the hawks sitting in the living room of Via del Plebiscito, to understand that the only train passes now to avoid catastrophe. Approve the electoral law in a few days, even under the conditions of the opponents of the Democratic Party, provided that the resignation convince Monti and Napolitano to anticipate the vote in November. It is a sudden change of perspective.

Bunga Forever!
"the fact that the Italian political theater may regain its old tragicomic luster has us smiling at the prospect of what the end of 2012 has to offer, especially since America's own presidential election will culminate at about the same time"
I hear the Mayans are offering their own opinion of how 2012 will end as well. Could be the best prospect of all, judging from the way things are headed
Bunga Bunga is not the same without the flair of power I guess. Then he's just a horny old man.
Genio Italico
He wants back in with the crew:
those 2 in the front have 'manson lamps' as T. soprano calls them
I remember defending Berlusconi here in ZH. I definitely remember that. How happy is actually the typical ZH reader that Italy now has Monti? Face it, Italy will never have a PM that satisfies the AngloSphere's public opinion. And France, Spain and Germany share this fate. Rupert has of course also quite a lot to do with it...
Italy is in fact possibly the first country that will leave the euro, under Berlusconi
It makes much more sense for Italy ... whose overall debt situation is actually better than many other countries - public debt is high yes, but private sector debt is extremely low
Italy is a major exporter like Germany, with food, clothing, shoes and accessories people around the world want to buy ... their only real problem is the high interest from public debt because they cannot print like the UK and US and Japan, plus a euro priced higher than an Italian lira
Italy has, many think, little to lose from leaving the euro and much to gain ... hundreds of billions, in fact
They are the real wild card on leaving the euro ... and Berlusconi may be just the man to do it, sweeping into office on an anti-EU, anti-euro, anti-austerity platform
And you can hardly blame him for wanting revenge given the putsch-like way he was ousted by ECB-EU collusion ... whatever one thinks of Berlusconi, it was not right for forces outside Italy to chase him out of office
jesus................ IT'S THE SAME SHIT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.........
that doesn't matter if Monti or Berlusconi.
Monti = freemasons
Berlusconi= freemasons
like Obamney--------------------------------->Monlusconi
It's NOT the same... Berlusconi bangs the hottest skanks...
if it's Italy it's P2- think more Vatican Bank/Robert Calvi "hangin' out" under the Blackfriar Bridge
Every one voting for this thing,Berlusconi,must have been paid!
But thats so common in Latin contrys.
One just have to look at Lula,the shoshineboy from Sao Paulo who was educated at John Hopkins,he loves football to,and "Sem Fome,So Gordo" became a genious,so genious that" Microsoft and LG pays the shoshineboy,million to promote them,aint the world a wonderfull just place to watch.
Latinos sao Latinos,esmolda eles,e eles joelhar.
Dar eles feijao,e eles votar de ti!
"Latinos são Latinos, dá-lhes uma esmola e eles ajoelham"
"Dá-lhes feijão e eles votam em ti"
If he comes back, not only is the Euro finished, so is the EU. Good riddance.
It's hard for career politicians to keep filling those money bags sitting at home.
And re-elected he will be, rest assured. He's mega popular and they want him back.
Remember, people get the leadership they deserve. When the masses are dumbed down like now, democracy is not in their best interest. Tyranny of the dumbed down majority...
he's got flair- more than the dipshit "holier-than-thou" rubes we put in office
Hey, but it's only sex. And everyone knows that it's ok to lie about sex. :)
Same ... Same ... One set of gangsters for another set of gangsters
I'd rather be governed by a crook like Bunga than by a bunch of unelected technocrats who are just obeying orders coming from those masonic jews who control the banks.
Call me stupid.
post of the day-thanks for the laugh.

This guy is a riot. Bunga bunga back? He's crook. But for himself, and not for the globalists.
He's just too corrupt. He is the one who ordered the stealing of those bonds held by representatives of the Dragon family. Tried to cash them himself. A big faux pas that could cause the international monetary system to unwind.

Good for a short stay, not a luxury bed or Sunday roast cooking facilities. TV old school but done the job, not here to view TV.
Confirmed guest, 2016-05-13
Quite a nice place to stay, a lot of cobwebs under the bed in the twin room and I just can not stand spiders. The TV was a bit of a pain very slow and quiet. The sofas were not really comfortable a bit low for us. The surroundings were really good as were the staff. The food was very good in the club house.

We found the lodge very small , especially the bedroom and the bathroom. We were staying in late September so the evenings were drawing in, and we found the lack of lighting in the evening impossible. We like to read in the evenings, and the light was so poor we had to go into Warminster and buy ourselves some lamps.
