Bradford to Kelly, part II?
In ESPN's latest mock draft, draft guru Todd McShay projects Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford will go to the Washington Redskins with the fourth overall pick.
That could produce a reunion for a pair of former Sooners.
Bradford's first go-to college wideout, Malcolm Kelly, is currently with the Redskins.
After a knee injury sidelined him for most of his rookie season, Kelly came back this year with a decent season. He was fourth on the team with 25 catches for 347 yards.
But like most everyone else playing offense for Washington, Kelly's numbers suffered from the team's lack of offensive success under coach Jim Zorn.
A new era, however, appears underway in Washington: offensive mastermind Mike Shanahan apparently is on track to be the Redskins' next coach.
Shanahan's first order of business will probably be landing the franchise's QB of the future, which no longer appears to be Jason Campbell.
Similar to what he did in Denver drafting Jay Cutler, Shanahan could go after Bradford with that fourth pick.
For Bradford, that would be a terrific scenario. While Washington struggled last season, the Redskins have some offensive pieces with RB Clinton Portis, TEs Chris Cooley and Fred Davis, and WRs Kelly, Devin Thomas, Antwaan Randle El and Santana Moss.
That's not the most explosive offensive skill-set in the NFL. But it's better than the Rams , which will have the No. 1 pick and may flirt with taking a QB in that slot.
But Washington would be a much better situation for Bradford. Throw in that he'll have a former receiver there, and it only makes the setting that much more ideal.

Protecting and defending our freedom is the key role of federal government. We should prioritize defense functions in our federal budget and keep our commitments to the heroes who sacrifice so much to keep our enemies at bay.
* Military Spending. We must ensure that our troops have the best equipment, training, and leadership.
* War on Terror: We need to continue to adapt our military preparedness to respond quickly to radical jihadists anytime, anywhere using enhanced special forces capabilities and the best possible intelligence.
* First Responders. I will stay in close communication with local police authorities to make sure they have the tools and protections they need on a federal level to enforce the law and keep us safe.
* Energy. Fueling our future is a national security issue. We must explore all potential forms of energy to ensure our energy independence.
* Air Security. I support efforts to upgrade our air traffic control technology. I support funding for radar at both the Provo and West Jordan airports.
* Second Amendment. I support the right to own and bear arms as a personal and absolute right. For example, it's wrong that laws restrict our rights to carry guns in National Parks.
* Veterans. I am a strong advocate for veterans. We are not taking good enough care of those who have taken care of us. Specifically, I will introduce legislation to take care of those who fall between the cracks after their service has ended.

An interesting selection.
All three are about the same size and weight.
Just enough differences between the cameras to give you some choices.
If you are wanting to get more involved with photography, the P300 gives you the advantage of having the important manual controls (shutter priority, aperture priority, full manual).
The other two cameras do not offer these manual controls.
If you need a camera with a lot of zoom, then look at the S9100.
The S8200 has 16 megapixels, which I would avoid.
That is too many megapixels on such a small sensor assembly.
Generally a 16 megapixel sensor tends to be noisy.
That results in needing to use noise reduction firmware in the camera and that reduces detail.
The other two camera use 12 megapixels sensors which should give you acceptable ISO up to (and including 400).
I have narrowed down my options to:

9 mins ago
Wigan have issued a hands-off warning to Super League rivals Bradford regarding Great Britain hooker Terry Newton.
Newton, who is facing competition from new signing Wayne Godwin, has been linked with a move to the Bulls following their decision to suspend hooker Ryan Hudson.
But Warriors chairman Maurice Lindsay insists Newton, who was Great Britain?s regular hooker in the recent Tri-Nations Series, is not for sale at any price.
?I don?t care if someone offered me a quarter of a million pounds, they wouldn?t get Terry Newton,? he said.
?He?s the best hooker in this country and he will never leave this club unless it?s by his own decision at the end of his contract and even then we don?t want to lose him.
?The kid who has come from Castleford fully understands that. He?s delighted to be deputy to Terry.?

I'm writing this on a Monday morning, following events at most of our camp properties all weekend. We had girls doing all sorts of things this weekend, but mostly they were learning while having fun.
It is simply amazing to see so many people outdoors, working with girls to learn about their environment and their world. They honed their skills that will serve them for a lifetime and and got to experience new things. There was zip lining, canoeing, archery, horseback riding, sailing, tie-die, starting fires, making a meal over an open campfire, s'mores, and a campfire to round out the evening. The weather wasn't quite perfect. Although the sun was warm, the wind was brisk and the evenings chilly. But the girls and their mentors integrated that into their weekend experience.
As we have talked to girls who shared this experience, whether it was Camp Scoutshire Woods, Camp Sid, or Kamp Kiwanis, everyone reported they had a great time. In fact, some that we talked to were wildly enthusiastic about the weekend they had. This is what fond memories are made of, and I have to think it was not only the girls who had a memorable weekend.
Thank you to all who went to a lot of work and effort to make that weekend so fantastic for so many. We appreciate all you do to make the world a better place.

Welcome to Zagreb, the capital city of the Republic of Croatia. Zagreb is an old Central European city. For centuries it has been a focal point of culture and science, and now of commerce and industry as well. It lies on the intersection of important routes between the Adriatic coast and Central Europe.
Zagreb is a city of green parks and walks, with many places to visit in the beautiful surroundings. In spite of the rapid development of the economy and transportation, it has retained its charm, and a relaxed feeling that makes it a genuinely human city.
When the Croatian people achieved their independence in 1991, Zagreb became a capital - a political and administrative centre for the Republic of Croatia. Zagreb is also the hub of the business, academic, cultural, artistic and sporting worlds in Croatia. Many famed scientists, artists and athletes come from the city, or work in it. Zagreb can offer its visitors the Baroque atmosphere of the Upper Town, picturesque open-air markets, diverse shopping facilities, an abundant selection of crafts and a choice vernacular cuisine.

NOT only are we in the dark about the reason why Swinburne left Eton, but also about where he went. Some biographers state, not without exaggeration, that the years 1853-56 are, in Swinburne's life, 'almost a blank'. Others have conjectured that he spent those three years 'climbing and swimming'--a remarkable feat of endurance, even if we allow for some intervals of rest. Others there are who believe that he was from the first coached for Oxford. Sir George Young told me that, after so many years, he remembered having heard that Swinburne 'had gone to France with a tutor'. But the poet himself stated that he 'never was out of England till he was eighteen'. Moreover, had he been abroad he would have sent letters home, and it is probable that his very inaccurate but understanding and devoted editor, Mrs. Disney Leith, would have published some extracts from them. We must be content with what evidence there is, but we cannot afford, as many of our predecessors have, to reject or ignore any. A few facts emerge; they will be briefly stated.
In October 1853 Swinburne did not return to Eton; in October-November, 1854, when the news of the Balaklava charge reached England, he was at East Dene, and still fostered hopes that he might be allowed to enter the army; it was in the 'Christmas

Unlike the mischievous cat from Alice in Wonderland, this kitty won't be very difficult to lose track of. The Infant Toddler Cheshire Cat Costume features a pink and purple striped jumpsuit with a front zipper design, an attached tail with a tuft of faux fur on the tip, and a matching hood with a Cheshire Cat face attached to the top of the hood. The costume is made more impressive and whimsical by the purple stripes' silk-like sheen, which adds a depth to the costume that other similar ones do not provide. This is one of the best outfits to wear to a fairytale theme costume party, and your daughter will surely be one of the most popular characters present. With such large shoes to fill, you can be sure that your girl will take playing up to the Cheshire Cat character in earnest.

Skip to comments.The Three Stooges Trailer is up
Posted on 12/07/2011 6:03:37 PM PST by Sneakyuser
Reboots: The Fugitive, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Check. And now... (Read the comments too.)
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk ...
Is there gonna be another "Fugitive" remake or are you talking about the Tim Daly one from 10 years ago?
Cool! Thanks for putting it up!
Once again, Hollywood proves it is incapabale of thinking of anything new.
I once read that the plots of all movies can be traced to about 20 basic plot themes.
Heh, I had no idea that it was coming;
Hate to admit it, but I'll probably go see it, or at least buy the DVD.
"I once read that the plots of all movies can be traced to about 20 basic plot themes."
Boy meets girl...boy loses girl...boy gets girl back. That accounts for about 90%.
It actually looks pretty good for what it is.
I'll wait until it's in the cheapy theatres before spending money on it.
The original was for kids. This version is for 20-40 year old kids who watch Jersey Shore.
Billy West does the best Larry Fine impression ever.
Very funny trailer...but I don't know if I could take two hours of it:)
Oh, the humanity.
Looks pretty good to me! "I was a victim of coicumstance"
Actually, it was "The Three Stooges", "Soupy Sales", "Rocky & Bullwinkle" and "Lloyd Thaxton Dance Party" right after school.
Not a big fan of the Stooges, though I spent many hours watching reruns as a child. Sorry, this sucks. A good comedian can be funny without sex and sexual innuendoes.
Not very many good comedians out there now a days.
My kids and I love the Stooges. I hope this is good and not a stinker.
This looks pretty bad.
I hate to admit it, but it actually looks funny. Despite all my earlier skepticism.
I mean, c'mon. Larry David as a nun? You got to admit, that's comic inspiration.
I always thought Will Sasso was a great choice for Curly. Didn't think so about Chris Diamantopolous playing Moe, but the trailer won me over. Still not sold on Sean Hayes.
There must be something wrong with me... because I laughed at the preview, and I haven't laughed in a long time.
Yikes!!! Now there's a "blast from the past"! I haven't heard of the Lloyd Thaxton Dance Party in years!
Yea us!!
It's later. Thanks for posting.
Counting the days....
Come dance with me! ~
Kill me now...
Cool, looks good..
¨Hotel Costa Plenty¨
This is nothing,
How about a "Gone with the Wind" remake starring Lindsay Lohan and Javier Bardem? Now that would be a real piece of crap.
Or "Mr. Smith goes to Washington", with Ryan Reynolds!
Or "Casablanca" with Shia LaBeouf!
Ryan Reynolds. My Mom! LOVES him. She's watched "The Proposal" ~25 times. IMO, he's a himbo pretty boy, same as Bradley Cooper.
Shia LaBeouf. Talentless. Completely void of appeal.
The Three Stooges. I don't find them particularly funny.
On the plus side, for those who ARE three stooges fans, these guys at least seem to have gotten the look and mannerisms of the characters down pat. I don't mind remakes if the original material is dated and they capture the spirit of the characthers for a modern audience (like the 2009 Star Trek or Sherlock Holmes). I'm cautiously optimistic about the new Dark Shadows too, as they released some production stills and Johnny Depp DOES look the part of Barnabas Collins, unlike the earlier roles Burton gave him of Willy Wonka, The Mad Hatter, etc.
What I hate is when there's some timeless classic and they "reimagine" it by completely destroying what made the original great. These films were imagined right the first time, they didn't need to have the characters vastly changed. I can't think of a "reimagining" yet that I liked. It seems to be Hollywood talk for "we changed everything you liked about the original". The most obvious examples being 'The Pink Panther', the aforementioned 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' ("closer to the book" my @$$!), the 2001 Planet of the Apes (whereas the 2011 Rise of the Rise of Planet of the Apes was true to the original films and was an EXCELLENT update in that it kept the original story but made the Apes like real life apes!), Daniel Craig's ugly brooding James Bond, and Christian Bale's throat-cancer Batman (I know I'm in the minority in disliking the latter two, but the 80s versions of these characters were far superior and more fun to watch, IMO)
In short, there's a valid reason for a remake if the original was a terrible adaptation or is badly dated. But there's no reason to "reinvent" characters that were perfectly done the first time around.
100% agree! I saw a blurb on some entertainment show a few weeks ago that said the formula Hollyweird is going with is mostly remakes, sequels to established franchises and small, lost cost "indie" type films. So, this remake BS isn't going away anytime soon.
The bottom line for me with most, if not all, of these remakes/reboots/reimages of classic flicks is that they are PC'd up and most of the "stars" starring in them can't hold a candle to the original, true stars.
p.s. As far as the Farrelly bros. go, they peaked at "There's Something About Mary" IMO.
This stooges remake is a Farrelly brothers movie.
There's a very simple reason for that. Sequels and remakes have a built in name ID and studies have repeatedly shown that a film with an existing fan base makes more money than a film with an original plot and unknown title. Hollywood is all about what makes money. If people want to stop soulless remakes and inferior sequels from coming out, they've got to STOP watching them. I always warn people to avoid godawful garbage like Steve Martin's Pink Panther and Jack Black's Gulliver's Travels. You know from the trailers the movie is going to be terrible. Don't even illegally download the movie out of curiosity. If people stop watching it, they'll stop making it. I'm proud to say I'm one of the few who avoided seeing Indiana Jones 4 because I KNEW it would be bad and resisted the urge to check it out just for the nostalgia factor. Indy fighting UFOs in the 1950s and having a son played by Shia LeBeaouf just screams BAD MOVIE.
>> The bottom line for me with most, if not all, of these remakes/reboots/reimages of classic flicks is that they are PCd up and most of the stars starring in them can't hold a candle to the original, true stars. <<
Heh. I agree that many of the actors in a remake can't hold a candle to the original (and I will argue to my dying breathe that Jack Nicholson played a better JOKER -- at least the classic DC comics version -- than Heath Ledger, no matter how much worship the latter gets because he died before the movie came out). There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but usually that's because the original film was underwhelming to begin with. Of course, many of these actors in remakes had distinguish careers of their own and were critically acclaimed until they let fame go to their head and tried to step into the shoes and play a role that already been played to perfection by someone else. The worse offenders are Steve Martin and Adam Sadler -- between the two of them, they've probably ruined about a dozen classics. And there's the argument that "the remake didn't harm anything because the original is still there for people to enjoy", but the fact is that the remake upstages the original and a new generation grows up identifies the piece of %$#$*& remake as the only version of the story they've ever known. I talked to a 19 year old the other day who immediately identified The Pink Panther franchise as a Steve Martin vehicle and had no idea that Peter Sellers had played the part before him.
>> As far as the Farrelly bros. go, they peaked at There's Something About Mary IMO. This stooges remake is a Farrelly brothers movie. <<
Ohhh. Well, they certainly are the right types for that kind of material (over-the-top, idiotic, pointless slapslick). It reminds me of a few years ago when I speculated why there hadn't been a remake of "The Great Gatsby" in years considering the movie had been made at least 3 times but the most recent theatrical version was the 1974 Robert Redford vehicle. Well I should have known better than to say it aloud, because some Hollywood suit picked up on the idea and now we have a Great Gatsby remake coming out next year starring Leonardo DiCaprio (and if you're read the book and are familiar with the character of Jay Gatsby, you'll realize that they finally found a part that pretty boy self-important Hollywood snob DiCaprio is PERFECT for, in much the same way Clooney is the perfect to play a loudmouth damaging liberal fraud in that new film "The Ides of March", which I refuse to see). Both Clooney and DiCaprio can play themselves. But, of course, the remake is directed by Baz Luhrmann (known for flashy colorful, action-packed avante-garde roller coast ride movies)... and it's in... 3D!!! Sorry Hollywood, don't think F. Scott Fitzgerald had that in mind. I'll pass on that one as well. Reading it in H.S. and seeing the 1974 film is enough for me.
In many cases, there's a old film that genuinely could use a new version to connect with modern audiences, but the problem is the suits in Hollywood ruin the potential they have and waste $200 million dollars and 2 hours of my life. An example is the 2002 version of The Time Machine. As much as I love the 1960 film, it hasn't aged well, the special effects aren't that special by today's standards and its cautionary tale about nuclear war clearly reflects the era it was made in. I don't object to a remake that would do a better job capturing the H.G. Welles novel... but I DO object to the remake they gave us. The Eloi all look like Tiger Woods and speak perfect modern day English 800,000 years in the future, the head of the morlocks, the "Uber-Morlock" (yes that's his name and he's not a character in the book) looks like Marilyn Manson (and also speaks perfect English!), the time traveler is involved in cartoonish fight scenes and telepathic mind battles... the whole second half of the movie was an insult to anyone who read the original sci-fi classic.
I think the 1970 movie M*A*S*H (must type inconspicuously so Hollywood suits don't notice) could use an update as the originally is horribly dated and more of a commentary on the Vietnam War than a realistic look at the Korean War, but when people speculate on a remake, they talk about casting goofy "actors" like Will Ferrell instead of making a genuine dark comedy with biting satire. So I'll stay away from recommending a remake unless they find someone with capable hands that could do the material justice.
"You know from the trailers the movie is going to be terrible."
You got it! That and films that aren't made available for advance screenings have "EL SUCKO" written all over them.
Indiana Jones 4: I suspected it was going to blow when Sean Connery declined a cameo in it. Yep...part 5 should be a blast, huh?
Completely agree on Jack Nicholson over Heath Ledger!!! If Ledger hadn't OD'd, he would have been just another actor in a movie, period. Actually, "The Dark Knight" as a whole is WAAYYYYYYY overrated IMHO. I'll take the two Michael Keaton Batman's over anything else that's been done.
I'll pass on The Great(est) Gatsby as well. Been there, done that.
M*A*S*H: The best thing Robert Altman ever did IMO. Love the movie, do not like the TV show at all.
A young Lucille Ball appeared in a Stooges short, "Three Little Pigskins":
There was also one episode where all four of the "Stooges Greats" (Moses, Samuel and Jerry Howard and Larry Fine) were on screen at the same time.
But Jerry ("Curly") had had a stroke by that time and only did a cameo in the scene -- with a full head of hair! Sadly, this was also Curly's final screen appearance. He died January 18, 1952.

Eau de Scotch Magic Tape
Scotch Magic Tape Sticks in the Mind of Columnist Ralph Gardner Jr.
If you choose to brave the subway during the morning rush on your day off—and it's pouring outside—you'd figure it would have to be for a pretty good reason.
Well, it was. Early last Friday, I pulled out my umbrella and headed off to the 2013 Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper Contest at Celsius in Bryant Park.
I didn't really care about the event itself. Watching people wrap a toy castle, a kid's go-kart and, finally, a full-size paddleboat for the $10,000 grand prize wasn't what motivated me to shave and shower rather than sleep in.
No, I showed up to share my enthusiasm for Scotch tape with its brand managers, whom I assume would have to be attending so august an occasion.
What's so special about Scotch tape besides that it adheres to stuff, which we already know? The only way I can answer that is to return to my childhood. I actually remember when 3M, the Minnesota-based conglomerate that also makes the Post-it Note—introduced its Scotch Magic Tape.
"1961," stated Bob Peck, the man who gave out the prize checks and the global business manager for 3M's Stationery and Office Supplies Division. "Magic Tape is the iconic product."
Before then, Scotch tape was clear and unexceptional—and had an annoying tendency to stick to itself. But along came Magic Tape. It looks almost cloudy and has a more satiny finish until you apply, then the cloudiness disappears. Indeed, it becomes almost invisible. Hence, the magic.
Oh, and you can also write on it. And it has that excellent Magic Tape smell. I can't quite describe it. And I'm not convinced Mr. Peck and his 3M colleagues knew what I was talking about when I mentioned the scent. I wouldn't even hold it against them if they thought I was slightly off my rocker: They get paid to get excited about NFL football helmet dispensers and Scotch Expressions Magic tapes, with three new designs for the holidays: Blue Repeat, Stitch, and Sparkle. But I was perfectly willing to do it free.
Also, it was extremely noisy where the contest was being held, overlooking the Bryant Park ice-skating rink. There was a professional announcer giving the play-by-play, a surprising number of reporters and cameras, and a smattering of everyday folks—perhaps Magic Tape aficionados such as myself.
I assumed Magic Tape smell—that special, fresh smell I associate with stationery stores—had to have a name, even if it was something industrial such as "Green 19." But I drew blank stares, even though the brand managers and publicists encircling me were willing to stipulate that Magic Tape smells great.
"Remember scratch and sniff?" someone said. "That was 3M."
"These aren't just accidents we take advantage of," explained Robert Brittain, 3M's manager of public relations for consumer products. "They're engineered into the product. Whether the smell or the way it comes off the roll. We call that 'the unwind.'"
Speaking of "the unwind," it's one area where I think 3M has dropped the ball. As much as I appreciate 3M's efforts to churn out new products—I have no doubt today's 8-year-olds could muster equal excitement for the Expressions line that I did when Magic Tape was introduced—the company needs to devise a solution to the inconvenience of having the tape come off the dispenser's cutting edge and clinging to the spool. The dilemma forces you to spend precious holiday-wrapping minutes searching for the seam, then trying to pry the tape loose with your fingernail.
Does anyone know what I'm referring to, because my 3M hosts didn't seem to? "Slivering?" some executive asked. "Is that what's he talking about?"
It was explained to me that slivering refers to the annoying tendency of adhesive tape to tear and come up in useless strips. However, there's apparently no term of art to describe what happens when the tape sticks to the roll and becomes invisible, playing hide-and-seek with your patience. "If you can't find it," said Jennifer Higgins, the marketing manager for 3M's Stationery Products Division, "I wouldn't call it slivering."
I was even accused of using inferior, non-3M tape, which is probably true. Nonetheless, 3M invented a product that somewhat addresses my gripe: pop-up tape handband dispensers. The product, which you wear like a bracelet, issues pre-cut 2-inch tape strips, leaving your hands free so you don't have to break your gift-wrapping stride.
I have nothing against the technology, which has been around since the late 90s. But it seems to encapsulate—in raspberry, blueberry or silver dispensers—everything that's wrong with contemporary society. When our Scotch tape must be cut for us, like steak or chicken for a toddler, aren't we all doomed?
I'll also probably be taking a pass this holiday season on new Scotch tape dispensers in the shape of a woman's high-heel shoe, a chameleon that changes color when touched and a martini glass.
As the wrapping contest ended and Patricia Zapata from Kingwood, Texas, emerged the victor, Mr. Brittain assured me that I wasn't any weirder than the average Scotch tape customer.
"People are so intimate with the products," he said. "For example, the sound of the way it comes off the roll."
I knew what he was talking about. But the sound of unspooling tape just doesn't evoke the passion in me as Magic Tape smell.
Corrections & Amplifications
The Scotch tape business is part of 3M's Stationery and Office Supplies Division. In an earlier version of this article, Stationery was misspelled as Stationary in the division's name and in another reference.

MADISON, WI - Justin Boston seized the day Sunday at Madison International Speedway, winning the Herr's Live Life with Flavor 200 for his second ARCA Racing Series win of the season.

 "We're here to win races and that's what we did today," Jones said in victory lane. "I'll gladly take that trophy."

 Boston ran in the top-five for most of the race, but grabbed the lead after previous leaders Grant Enfinger and Mason Mitchell both ran into troubles in the last quarter of the race. He came out of the pits following a late pit stop in first place then zoomed out to a big lead in the No. 25 ZLOOP Toyota.

 "Our race was so good today, long runs and short runs," he said. "It was good right off the hauler. We didn't really change anything. I think our car was as good as Grant or Mason, but we just couldn't get up to them. Track position meant so much.

 "I think if they wouldn't have had trouble, I think we might have had something. It would have been a great show for the fans."

 Defending race winner Kyle Benjamin finished second, Brandon Jones third and veteran Frank Kimmel fourth. Tom Hessert finished fifth, despite starting 25th.

 Mitchell ended up 14th and Enfinger 15th. Both had to be pushed to the garage area. Enfinger led the most laps and Mitchell finished one spot ahead of his closest challenger in the ARCA Racing Series driver point standings, meaning 25 points still separate the two.

 Kimmel was the biggest point beneficiary, closing to within 140 points, the closest he has been in several weeks.

 "I knew it was just a matter of time that we close in a little bit," Kimmel said. "We have had a lot of fourth- and fifth-place finishes. We'll keep digging and getting there."

 Benjamin's second-place finish came in the ARCA debut of his family-owned race team. The team tested at Anderson Speedway in Indiana earlier in the week, but Sunday's race was really the first time the car was on track and up to speed.

 "It was like our test," Benjamin said. "I really have to thank (crew chief) Kevin Reed and my dad for giving me a great car. We were really good on long runs. On that short run late in the race was tough for us get up there. If we would have had 40 laps at the end, we might have been able to get up there."

 Jones had won his previous two ARCA races, but was okay with his third place finish after starting 14th when the starting lineup was set by car owner points after qualifying was rained out.

 "Justin and Kyle had great cars and we were good too," Jones said. "We were really loose, then tight early on, but probably everybody was in the same boat as us."

 Hessert's top five was well-earned. He started 25th in the No. 72 Caregard-AxiomWarranty.com Dodge.

 "Good top five," Hessert said. "We started so far back and our car got really tight, but we had a good day."

 Hessert's Cunningham Motorsports teammates Anderson Bowen (seventh) and Austin Wayne Self (eighth) also scored top 10's. Kyle Weatherman was seventh in the Roulo Brothers Racing Ford while Venturini Motorsports driver John Wes Townley finished 10th in the No. 15 Zaxby's Toyota.

 Ben Rhodes finished 11th in his ARCA debut whiles James Swanson placed 12th - the best finish of his career with Wayne Peterson Motorsports.

 Boston's second win may have seemed unlikely with 40 laps to go, but the entire Venturini team was excited about their fourth win of the season and third win in four races at Madison International Speedway.

 "I love this track," Billy Venturini said. "This is such a great short track. We love coming here."

 Boston's season now includes two wins and two Menards pole awards. He is fifth in points heading to the next race on the ARCA circuit - the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds mile-dirt Labor Day Monday.

 "We've had a good season that could have been a great season," Boston said. "We ran into some trouble early on and Grant and Mason capitalized on it. If not, I think we could have been up there, too. We're here to win races now. This team worked hard today. This is good."

Collateral Damage: Black Victims of Violent Crime...Poor Muriel Bowser
For those who didn't know, major cities on the East coast are experiencing a surge in their murder rates. I'm not talking 10 % or 25% but a whopping 43% in Washington, DC. New York City is also experiencing an increase in its murder rate.
Poor Muriel Bowser, ran to be the Mayor of Washington, DC thinking she was going to be presiding over gentrification and the mass construction of more condo towers and now here she is stuck in an episode of The Wire.
She didn't sign on for this!
So poor Muriel decided to hold a press conference to announce how she is going to combat this murder wave and in the middle of it, she got interrupted by Black Lives Matter activists because a portion of Muriel;s proposal includes more law enforcement officers.
Bowser (D) planned to announce a wide-ranging, $15 million plan to boost both community programs and police presence in response to a 43 percent spike in killings this year. The plan includes financial incentives to keep police on the force despite a looming retirement bubble, as well as legislation that would increase some penalties for violent crime and give police the power to search the residences of violent ex-offenders.
But protesters linked to a nationwide movement that has mobilized over allegations of police misconduct erupted at her first mention of putting more officers on the streets. Community activists quickly joined the chants of "Black Lives Matter" with their own demands for jobs and recreation centers. Washington Post
Following the discussion on Twitter, the BLM activists want the police to completely withdraw from the "community" so the community can police itself... along with some funding for recreation centers and holistic healing. . . No, I didn't make that up. 60% of thos suspected of committing these murders were also suspects in other murders. Which means these are repeat killers that they want to "heal" and "rec-reate."
Nowhere in this screaming match between the Mayor and BLM activists is any discussion of what will happen to the Black victims of violent crime while they duel ( apparently several of the victims of DC's recent spate have also been White).
The most recent homicide in Shaw to draw widespread attention was the killing of Matthew Shlonsky, an American University graduate who was struck by a bullet intended for someone else as he exited a taxi on Seventh Street NW on Aug. 15.
At that point, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and police officials already were scrambling to contend with escalating violence across the city, much of it occurring in the District's poorest neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River.
Four days before Shlonsky's killing, gunfire wounded three people at Seventh and O Streets NW. A block away, Tamara Gliss, 31, a mother, was killed by a stray bullet at an evening barbecue over Memorial Day weekend. Washington Post
Several readers have pointed out that the answer is somewhere in between attempting to create economic opportunity and enhanced law enforcement, but there doesn't appear to be room for nuance in this discussion between Bowser and the activists.
Regarding the position that law enforcement should withdraw completely from Black communities and leave us to fend for ourselves, my response is NOPE! Black people pay taxes just like everybody else, we are entitled to protection from criminal elements just like any other group of people.
And quite frankly I don't trust these activists and their allies to insure the safety of Black women and girls - Yes, I can see that many of these activists are Black women - and I repeat. I don't trust these activists to insure the safety of Black women and girls.
We know what happens when Black institutions are left to police themselves --- Black women and girls end up raped, tortured and killed and then they get blamed for where they were, what they wore and who they were with.
So as long as the number 1 priority is protecting Black criminals from excessive force by the state, Black people with a sense of self preservation are going to keep giving the side eye to the current ruckus. And any plan for reform that doesn't address Black victims of violent crime isn't a plan. It's a cop out (pun intended).
This blog will always exist in some form because of three groups: Black people who are the victims of violent crime, 2) the people who care about them and 3) Black people who are fearful of being victims of violent crime.
Hashtag warriors ignore those three groups at their own risk.

Keep in mind I know nothing about bikes.
I am shopping for a used bike. I ran across this rockhopper. The add says its a 23inch frame. No other details wear added.
My concern is I do not know which version of the bike it is. I THINK its a 2008 I am trying to find the exact model. If its a comp disc 29, disc, pro disc ect....
I am a little confused about the speed. The specs say
"CASSETTE FREEWHEEL SRAM PG-830, 8-speed, 11-32t"
So its a 8 speed right?
I have some concerns as well. It seems the front shocks do not match any of the shocks in the photo's in the link above.
If you look at the rear frame there is some kind of black tape rapped around it. By the way what is that section of the bike called?
Is it normal to tape that section?
