Another week of football, another week of contentious officiating.
The last seven days have seen the airwaves strain to the sounds of injustice and newspaper columns burst with condemnation for the men in black. But,to make a very pleasant change, Chelsea have largely been on the right side of the referee's whistle.
To set the ball rolling, the second leg of the Champions League encounter against Benfica saw the officials look kindly upon the Blues with a number of decisions that favoured the home side. That is not to say that all of them were wrong but the borderline calls by Slovenian referee Damir Skomina generally fell Chelsea's way.
Consider the penalty award. Yes, it was a clumsy challenge by Javi Garcia on Ashley Cole and – in my eyes - warranted a penalty but how many times have you seen a coming together like that not punished with such a damning verdict? Even in the short time between now and the end of the season I venture that you will see plenty of far more obvious spot kicks not given by the man in charge.
Maxi Pereira's sending off – which threatened to kill the tie but did anything but thanks to Chelsea proving utterly incapable of keeping possession even against ten men – could possibly be viewed as harsh if you are one of those who feel that a player on a yellow card should be given a warning rather than his marching orders for his next transgression. But even accounting for such blue-tinted glasses, Chelsea fully deserved to be in the last four of the competition irrespective of the bitter comments of the Benfica manager Jorge Jesus. Among the flouncy-haired (think an ageing continental Simon Jordan) Portuguese's gripes was his claim that the worst team lost the tie which somewhat fails to take into consideration that if his team was that good then how the hell did they allow such celebrated performers as Salomon Kalou and Raul Meireles to both score against them over the two legs?
It was a clear case of sour grapes from Jesus – now there is a sentence I never through I'd write – but his counterpart at Wigan Athletic had every right to feel aggrieved by the officials during their 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's display on Saturday ranked as one of the worst of an inconsistent if exhausting season (with Florent Malouda chief among those who massively under-performed) yet they still emerged with victory – something wholly attributable to two moments of myopia from assistant referee Dave Bryan.
Branislav Ivanovic – who, yet again, was one of the shining lights in a blue shirt – must have been a clear two yards offside when he scored the game's opening goal yet Bryan inexplicably missed it. Even from my viewpoint in the Matthew Harding Lower Tier with an angle 90 degrees worse than the all-important flag-bearer the free-scoring Serb looked to be in an illegal position. But no flag was raised and the goal stood. To compound matters for the Latics, their spirited response that yielded a fine goal from substitute Mohamed Diame was undone once more by Mr Bryan who allowed Juan Mata's injury time winner to stand despite him standing in an offside position when Fernando Torres struck the initial shot that cannoned off the woodwork. Had Chelsea not needed the three points so desperately to pursue ambitions of finishing in the top four, I might have actually felt genuine sorrow for the Lancashire men and their carload of travelling fans.
Roberto Di Matteo's fortune appeared to be extending to Easter Monday's west London derby against Fulham when the hapless Mark Clattenburg pointed to the spot on the stroke of half time after Kalou fell to the turf inside the penalty area. Countless replays proved inconclusive and while my personal opinion is that the decision was the correct one, I can also see the counter-argument especially in light of Clattenburg's curious explanation that he did not penalise Danny Murphy for challenging with both feet off the ground but in fact saw a trip by Stephen Kelly who quite clearly did not touch the Ivorian. However, it seems that that call was the end of Chelsea's line of credit. A blatant push on Frank Lampard by Brede Hangeland in the penalty box was missed in the second half and a soft late equaliser by Clint Dempsey via Gary Cahill ensured that there is still a mountain to climb if fourth place is to be claimed ahead of Tottenham and Newcastle.
While it was nice to have the rub of the green while it lasted, one shudders to think what might happen in the next fortnight if Lady Luck has deserted us altogether. An FA Cup semi-final with Spurs, a double header against a certain Catalan outfit and a trip to Arsenal will all require not only excellent performances but also a large dose of fortune.
Will Providence continue to smile upon Chelsea? My heart says yes but my head disagrees.

I am thankful for all of the luck that has gone Chelsea's way the last week or last 2 months really ever since RDM became in charge. I think that making the top four is going to be a difficult challenge because of Newcastle also entering the battle. I am pretty sure Arsenal will finish 3rd which leaves Tottenham as the one to make way. Even if they dont Newcastle are looking unbeatable as well so who knows what is going to happen. That is the most important thing this season is Champions League football because beating Barcelona over 2 legs is going to be near impossible but I will be keeping the faith. We need to win the FA cup and make the UCL next year in order to be a successful season. The game with Tottenham at Wembley is going to be really difficult especially with our lack of goals and killer instinct to win games and no Ivanovic and hurt Terry doesn't help at all. Another thing is as long as Mikel plays I dont think we have a chance against anybody. What happened to Romeu?
Wowww what an intriguing way to end your blog. Especially the last line.
Question: If what you think comes into reality, and/or Chelsea lose all the three forthcoming encounters you mentioned, do you think RDM can still stay at Stamford Bridge?
Chelsea is defending on all three fronts and non of them are easy. Obviously, they don't have the class and quality to beat Barcelona in the CL and they are realistic perhaps to win the FA Cup that may bring honor to caretaker manager RDM.
But it's difficult to bear without CL football next season, this has bearing to sign good players. Therefore, Chelsea must win the next five games in order to secure the 4th playoff spot, easier said than done!
RDM was diplomatic to say that Chelsea lacked killer instinct but the real fact is that non of the Chelsea players are capable to delivering the goals when required. The fault is not Torres alone but the likes of Sturridge, Drogba, Kalou Mata, Lampard etc.
Torres was really a class above all the rest and when he set up for others, his passes were pinpoint, making scoring easy. On the contrary, he had limited opportunities to receive such telling passes from his team mates. The hard work made him weary and tired, in the Fulham game.
I think it was about time we got some luck go our ways, as we have suffered a few offside goals ourself this season.
Fingers crossed it last just a bit longer.
Its just a matter now of staying behind the team, and keeping the faith and support until the end of the season.
The fixture list is insane at present, and I'm sure younger, bigger squads would find it tough at the moment too.
We are doing damn well though and the teams results and form speak for themselves under RDM.
Lets keep hope for 4th place with a trophy on top!
And what else is new?
Chelsea's troubles started in 2010/2011 right after then World Cup when there was a complete and deliberate failure to build the squad based on the talent that had won the double.
The likes of Drogba,Lampard,Essien,Ballack,Deco,Carvalho,Essien,Malouda,Anelka and Joe Cole have yet to be adequately replaced by similarly talented players.
I dont care how many times people try to diagree with me but Torres at his peak never did measure up to Drogba and quite honeslty never will.
All the assists/deflections and measly goals will never measure up to Drog's gigantic shoes.
Same applies to Meireles-Lampard and Mikel-Essien/Makelele.
All substandard players none of whom will never reach the heights of their predecessors.
Chelsea is running on fumes.Fact.
And those fumes are just about used up.
Chelsea's problem is the lack of a killer instinct that has repeatedly seen them sit on their laurels while holding onto a one-goal lead which is more often than not cancelled out by our opponents at the death. As for favourable refereeing decisions,we all know no team in England enjoys more of that than Manchester United
I have a sinking feeling that the team is spread too thin in too many competitions. The fixture schedule seems ridiculous. I predict Chelsea fail in all three unfortunately.
my advise...chelsea should choose which is more important 4 them 4rm all the competitions they are participating in. btw playing barcelona or finishing 4th in the league?...if u ask me i say they fight 4 fourth position & not use all their strength in playing barca....why?they have arsenal in btw those 2 leg ties against barca....and 4 them 2 finish 4th..they mustn't lose 2 arsenal/liverpool & newcastle.....CHELSEA HAVE THIER OWN DESTINY IN HANDS....IF THEY WIN THOSE MATCHES & TOTTENHAM DROPS POINT WHICH AM CERTAIN THEY WILL THEN CHELSEA CAN EVEN FINISH 3RD...SO MAKE A CHOICE MR ROBBIE DI MATTEO..."DIS PLAYERS DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY 2 COMPETE ON ALL 3 COMPETITIONS..THE GAS,THE ZEAL,PACE,THE CREATIVITY,SWAGGER ISN'T JUST IN THIS TEAM IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO STARTS UP-FRONT...EITHER DROGBA OR TORRES IT SAMES STORY....u finish 4th,champions league football is guaranteed next season....but lose/win against barca & not qualify is dastardly act...sorry 4 my vocabulary...
A good blog. May not be a blog i will remember though.
Just one thing. Why is it such a fuss for you and all journalist and all reporters to talk about luck when it is the case of Chelsea FC? Why is it not such a big Hoo Haa when it's Mu? Why is there no one writing about referees or the linesman making favorable decision against MU?
Yeah Chelsea were revived when Roman came and bought the club. Yeah He splash big money in transfer market to bring in big names to the club, but I tell you now, it wasn't all that big money that really won all those PL trophies. It was hard work and good management. Lampard were brought in before Roman came. He didn't cost 20millions, but he has been the backbone of the squad. Money has not dried out from Roman's bank. I'm sure of that. But sometimes he spend money on players that don't work for the team. Fans were upset over it. Roman didn't splash that much money this season not because he don't have anymore funds, but it is a sign that he is starting to listen to the Blues loyalist. A good sign don't you think?
Anyway, there is nothing wrong having a bit of luck in this half of the season. Chelsea has been always on the other side of it for many years. It's time for luck siding the Blues for once. I say. wouldn't you want to see the Champions League Trophy going to an English club? Better Chelsea than MU i would think.
this just shows how the favours, or as your article puts it: luck, can be brought espically when it is badly needed.
against barca, all they've done is moan that they've never got the decisions, that's because European ref's are not interested in players who cheat.
The pl is different, the players ego's and status and expereince shows how easy they can influence a game. long ball into the box, and i any means try get a penalty then for the media to write columns on how lamps is the greatest freescoring midfielder around. never seen the boy pass forward, only left and right to keep his stats up.
Chelsea finishing outside the top four will do wonders for the club, the egoist will leave and also shouldn't be selected for england which i hope happens, as then we'd stand a god chance of competing.
Chelsea's next 4 games will decide what's left for us fans in this season, and the next!
As for luck, we accept should just accept it if it comes our way. Over the long run it will even out, considering Chelsea's bad luck in the past against some teams, such as Barcelona and Arsenal.
If the team can come together for a spirited, final push, Chelsea may still get something out of this season. And maybe, it will not be so bad.
It's been very uncertain (and inconsistent) but it is an exciting time for the blues.
They'll need more than luck against Barcelona.
I watched Spain vs Scotland the other day, and selgnatry Spain lost possession 14 times during the match through misplaced passes. Now how often do u say that about Barcelona? So I gonna have to say Football Clubs play at higher levels, because they spend week-in-week-out playing as a team, getting to know their teammates properly.
I have this kit and i think its awesome. I relaly like the look of it. Its like a mix of our Coors 95/97 and our Autoglass 97/99. Its a shame tho that we're now changing home kit every year which has been announced. The Yellow and the Black away kits are not fake by the way, we shall expect to see them pretty soon. The Black looks excellent. The yellow is ok, but its very Chelsea so i love it. We relaly wearing this kit in the CL final? Anyway whatever we wear, let's show the trophy stamford bridge for the first time. 23

(R, 2012, 106 minutes)
In "Ted" Seth MacFarlane gives voice to an animated teddy who's been a lifelong pal to John (Mark Wahlberg), who was once a lonely kid who got a very special wish for a very special friend that came to life. This is a film about growing up and putting away childish things, because that's what John needs to do. There are a lot of laughs, but plenty of groaners, as well. MacFarlane's teddy is hilarious. He does funny voices, riffs on other movies for many of his laughs and drop F-bombs for other laughs. John's a Bostonian who can't quite get his life and career going, can't quite pull the trigger on proposing to his longtime love -- Lori (Mila Kunis). Ted, his pothead pal with the Teddy Ruxpin face and assorted MacFarlane voices, is holding him back. All Ted has to do is say, "I got the 'Cheers' Box set," or that the star of that beloved bomb "Flash Gordon" (Sam Jones) has shown up at a party, and John is on his way, responsibilities be damned. And that's all there is to this. See Teddy party with hookers. See Teddy making out with the trashy checkout tramp at the supermarket.

"The Bourne Legacy"
(PG-13, 2012, 135 minutes)
Matt Damon wasn't needed to revive the Bourne film franchise. But if you're bringing back Treadstone, introducing a new spy and new government overlords searching for him, moving on from Bourne, hoping to build on his "Legacy," you darned sure better grab us, straight out of the box. Tony Gilroy ("Michael Clayton") takes a good, solid hour before getting this sequel-reboot on its feet. And an hour of Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Donna Murphy and company sputtering dense spy agency jargon is more than a test of patience. Norton is in charge of ending this operation of chemically altered soldiers, turning them into efficient, smart, hypersensitive killing machines. He makes a lot of speeches to get his team on task. The one agent they're having trouble tricking into taking one last pill -- the one that'll kill him -- is Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner). Cross uses all his skills to make his way back to the lab where he was altered, to get help from the doctor (Rachel Weisz) who helped create him.
Renner is a credible action hero.

"Ice Age: Continental Drift"
(PG, 2012, 94 minutes)
The many sight gags and action beats tend to cover up the shortcomings for which the assembly-line farces are famously known. Big names -- such as pop stars Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj, along with Joy Behar, Peter Dinklage, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Wanda Sykes -- do the talking for the critters. The Ice Age movies are known for their sloppy science, and this one has the growing extended family of mammoths (Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and now "daughter" Keke Palmer) separated by the splitting of continents. Scrat, the nut-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel, had something to do with it. Manny the mammoth (Romano), Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary), Sid the innocent but accident-prone sloth (John Leguizamo, always funny) and Sid's Granny (Sykes) are adrift on an iceberg, wondering how to get back to the others. That's when they meet the pirates. Captain Gutt, a primate, and his scurvy crew of rabbits, sea lions and bloodthirsty gulls have designs on Manny & Co.
Extras: Interviews
"Trade of Innocents"
(PG-13, 2012, 90 minutes)
A middling thriller wrapped around a compelling lecture about the child sex trade in Southeast Asia, "Trade of Innocents" features Dermot Mulroney and Mira Sorvino as an American couple in Cambodia to do something about the burgeoning traffic in children sold into prostitution. Mulroney is Alex, ex-military, a man with a mission -- freeing children, capturing the Khmer traffickers and Vietnamese pimps who sell them and exposing the Western perverts who travel to that part of the world. Alex and his wife Claire have taken on this mission because of tragedy in their own lives. In classic melodrama fashion, events are set in motion by a sweaty American pedophile (John Billingsley), a supposed "family man" who uses his long stays in the Orient to fulfill a perverse lust. The movie's tone is rightfully serious. Girls who have escaped the trade tell their stories to Claire, who weeps. But the film's weakness is that too often the sick becomes the silly as the movie's tone slips.
Extras: Deleted scenes
(PG, 2012, 89 minutes)
This is a warm film about competitive rowing, a propulsive sport that's only rarely enjoyed a big-screen close-up (1984's "Oxford Blues" and 1986's "The Boy in Blue" come to mind). Although this modest indie may not make a huge splash, it just might inspire some hearty younger viewers -- especially women -- to grab a set of oars and find their bliss. The efficiently plotted drama follows 30-year-old Abigail Brooks, a recent U.S. Olympic rowing team alternate with dreams of a gold medal. But after four more grueling years of training, when the hard-driving athlete is again named an Olympic alternate -- instead of a first-string participant -- she quits the team and moves back in with her widowed, skeptical mother (Margaret Colin). As movie luck would have it, though, there's an opening for a crew coach at Abi's alma mater, nearby Union High, where, even more fortuitously, her old boyfriend, Geoff (a quite good James Van Der Beek), is the athletic director. You can imagine what happens next. It's simple stuff, but it works.

"Heavenly Creatures"
(R, 1994, 99 minutes)
Peter Jackson has made a prolific career off writing and directing big budget epics.
The 51-year-old New Zealand filmmaker who brought us the Academy Award-winning "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and the blockbuster remake of "King Kong" is back with "The Hobbit," in theaters this weekend.
But in 1994, when he made "Heavenly Creatures," Jackson and his lead, Kate Winslet, were complete unknowns.
Winslet, of course, has gone on to become one of the most accomplished actresses of her generation. Nearly 20 years ago, she was sensational in Jackson's low budget indie thriller based on a true story. "Heavenly Creatures," which earned Jackson a best original screenplay Oscar nomination, focuses on the intense friendship of two teenage girls who conspire to kill one of their mothers when she tries to end the bizarre, fantasy-based relationship.
Jackson made the flick for about $5 million.
That paltry sum wouldn't even cover "The Hobbit's" cast and crew food budget.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - For all its struggles, the Penn State offense frequently talks about its ability to pull together and make plays when it absolutely must, something not reflected in the Nittany Lions' statistics, but certainly in their win-loss record.
On Saturday, with snow flying all around Beaver Stadium, the Lions' lethargic offense waited until the final three minutes before it suddenly burst out of nowhere and thwarted what had been a great defensive effort by Illinois.
Matt McGloin, who had his problems all day, drove the Nittany Lions 80 yards in 10 plays. Silas Redd capped the march on a 3-yard run with 1 minute, 8 seconds remaining and gave the 21st-ranked Lions a 10-7 victory over the Fighting Illini, enabling them to close the day as the Big Ten's only unbeaten team.

Sen. Robert Menendez, of Hoboken, and Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-Long Branch, this week became the latest members of Congress to rid themselves of campaign cash from associates of controversial businessman Norman Hsu.
Menendez, who didn't receive money directly from Hsu, will donate to a charity a $1,000 check he received from Danny Lee of Forest Hills, in May 2006, according to spokesman Afshin Mohamadi. He has not yet chosen the charity, he added.
Lee and Winkle Paw of Daly City, Calif., often sent checks to candidates at the same time as Hsu through a practice known as "bundling."
Matthew Montekio, campaign manager for Pallone, said the campaign is donating $2,000 to Community Food Bank of New Jersey to offset donations of $1,000 each from Paw and Lee the campaign received in September 2005.
Hsu is under guard in a Colorado hospital after failing to show up for a California bail hearing. Hsu was wanted for missing his sentencing on a 1991 grand theft case to which he pleaded no contest.
Two weeks ago, the New Jersey Democratic State Committee announced it was making a $49,000 donation to charity as a way to get rid of four contributions it had received from Hsu since October 2005.
Gov. Jon Corzine said his campaign fund was making a similar charitable donation to offset a $1,000 check it received in June 2005, while Sen. Frank Lautenberg moved to return $1,000 his campaign fund received in March.
Donations by Hsu became a national issue after presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., announced she was returning his donations.
Earlier this week, she said she might give back as much as $850,000 in donations linked to Hsu. But she has since said she might accept newly issued checks if donors can confirm the money is from their personal funds, not from Hsu.

Almost every Monday morning at the Owen County Senior Center, you can find a group of seniors drumming away their weekend. Some doctors believe this activity can lead to a general sense of well-being.
The program, called Health Rhythms, is led by Roberta Schultz, who comes to the senior center to lead the seniors in approximately an hour of drumming.
"It's believed that anyone who participates in some sort of musical activity will be able to function better and feel better," Schultz said. "It also helps create better eye and hand coordination."
Kentucky Supreme Court Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr. was the special guest at Monday's Rotary Club meeting and gave a detailed history of fighting a duel with a deadly weapon in Kentucky.
Minton, who has served as the fifth Chief Justice of Kentucky since 2008, is the son of the late Dr. John D. Minton Sr. who retired from Western Kentucky University, having served there for many years as a history professor, administrator and its fifth president.
After months of preparation, Owen County is now being recognized by the National Weather Service's StormReady Program.
The StormReady program began in 1999 in Tulsa, Okla., and has helped to arm communities with the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property before and during a weather-related event.
Owenton Fire Chief David Lilly said to become StormReady, certain criteria are required throughout the United States. An evaluation is done to see if the community in question meets the specific criteria.
Owen County law enforcement will now have the ability to search for warrants right at their fingertips.
Attorney General Jack Conway recently announced the successful implementation of an electronic warrant management system in the 15th judicial circuit, which includes Owen, Carroll and Grant counties.
The Attorney General's Office funded implementation of the system in the 15th judicial circuit under a $3.9 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant awarded to the office of the attorney general in 2009.
Kentucky now has 101 counties utilizing the eWarrants system.

A man was killed and two women were injured in what police described as "a horrific crash" Friday night in Franklin County that may have been alcohol or drug related.
Mikey S. Ward, 32, of Lawrenceburg, was driving south on U.S. 127 when he veered into the northbound lanes and struck another car head-on, according to Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton.
Ward had to be extricated from his car, a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and was pronounced dead in the ambulance en route to the hospital, Melton said.
Taylor Cummins of Owen County High School has been named a State Sen. Jeff Green Scholar. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT.
Cummins has also earned $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship awards. The award may be renewed each year of college if the student continues high scholastic achievement, making the total value of the KEES award worth $10,000.
The Holbert family reunion was held Sunday at the Owen County Extension Center. There was a wonderful dinner shared and enjoyed by everyone present. We look forward to being all together again in 2012.
Those attending from Owenton were Naomi Glore; JoAnn and Lanny Wright; Randell Gaines; Austin Hudnall; Bobby Holbert; Trent, Mandy, Salin and Brayden Holbert; Teresa Sanders; and Lisa Stinson.
Linda Smith, owner of an Owenton consignment shop, had not heard from her son, Kelly P. Herald III, 32, since July 1.
After a story about the missing man was published in the News-Herald two weeks ago, a customer offered to help, Smith said. "He got on the Internet and did some searching."
The customer, who wished to remain anonymous, found Herald through a jail website.
Months of planning paid off Saturday when the Sweet Owen Day festivities were deemed a success.
Owen County Chamber of Commerce President Dallas Stafford said sales for vendors were up at least 30 percent, with some reporting an even higher percent.
"Three Rivers District Health Department gave about 30 percent more flu shots," Stafford said. "The run/walk participation was up about 50 percent and the crowd was strong throughout the day."
A total of 65 vendors were present.
For some members of New Liberty Baptist Church, this weekend's 210th anniversary isn't just another special event. It's a time to look back at an institution that goes back generations into Owen County history.
"We are called the mother church of 10 other churches in Owen County," Betty Lusby, one of the organizers of this weekend's celebration, said. "Eight of those churches are still in operation today."

A lawsuit involving the Amarillo Police Department chasing a drunken driver and ending with a wreck inched closer to being heard by the Texas Supreme Court.
Lawyers from both sides filed briefs in Austin in response to a lawsuit that began in 1993.
The court can dismiss the appeal, make a decision or invite both parties' lawyers to Austin to present oral arguments.
A district judge ruled in favor of the victim of a traffic accident, Mary Francis Pruett, and awarded her $250,000.
The city appealed the decision to the Seventh Court of Appeals, and the judge ruled in favor of the city. Chris Hoffman, Pruett's lawyer, appealed the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court.
According to court records:
n A citizen approached two Amarillo Police Department officers on July 30, 1993, and reported a drunken driver.
n APD officer Gabe Luna spotted a white Camaro driving erratically and followed the car. Luna saw the car on Plains Boulevard, turned on his overhead lights and saw the Camaro run a red light.
n The Camaro eventually drove over a curb and struck Pruett's southbound car. Luna, following the Camaro, struck the curb but did not hit any vehicles.
Pruett suffered injuries from the accident.
"The risk that innocent citizens will be harmed by the pursuit of criminals is an inherent component of law enforcement operations," the city wrote to the court. "It justifies pursuit because it cannot be said that the risk to the public from a pursuit is any greater than the risk created by allowing an intoxicated person to continue driving unfettered on city streets."
However, Pruett's lawyer claims Luna acted recklessly.
"...There is no expert testimony from Luna, or any other officer, that a reasonably prudent officer could have believed the need to pursue outweighed the risk of harm to the public," Hoffman wrote.

Mike Vreeswyk, Morrisville High class of 1985, finished off a busy week on April 8 by scoring 18 points in his team's victory in the consolation finals of the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. This is a college all-star tournament for NBA scouts that has been held for the last 37 years in Portsmouth, Va.
"I didn't play very well in the first game, I guess I was a little nervous," the Temple University senior said.
Vreeswyk said that at one point, he spotted in the bleachers reserved for NBA people Boston Celtics president Red Auerbach and general manager K. C. Jones, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Jerry West and Sixers general manager John Nash.

Re: [xsl] numbering and sorting compatibility issue
Date: 3/22/2003 3:46:00 AM
OK I'll be more concrete, I've following structure <Report> <Manufacturing m_no="1"> <Order code="x"> <Equipment name="y"> <Element part="z" qty="3"/> <Element part="z" qty="4"/> ... </Equipment> <Equip... </Order> <Order... </Manufacturing> <Manufact... </Report> I think self describing... and I want to represent it in table form

Manufacturing No. <xsl:value-of select="@m_no"/>

Order <xsl:value-of select="@code"/>

Equipment <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>

Pos No <xsl:value-of select="?"/>	Element 	<xsl:value-of select="@qty"/>
 ...
Order <xsl:value-of select="@code"/>

Equipment <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
 ...
Equipment <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>

Pos No <xsl:value-of select="?"/>	Element 	<xsl:value-of select="@qty"/>
 ...
 so I need to sort Elements by "part" AND number through all "Report" but I do numbering in "Equipment" context/template so... If I use position() I've got "in Equipment" numbering not all "Report" but when I use <xsl:number level="any"/> I've got "random" position numbering because Elements in Equipment not ordered by part_no.

Last weekend the campus and Union College community members had the pleasure of hearing Dan Senor, co-author of "Start-up Nation: the Story of Israel's Economic Miracle," speak about the economic miracle of Israel. The event, which was held in our very own Nott Memorial, was very well attended and truly inspirational. Senor spoke about the abundance of start-up companies that Israel produces and the way the country's unique structure — one of an extremely large and proud immigrant population and a workforce that has almost entirely served in the military at some point during their lives — lends itself to an economy of innovation and ingenuity. My most favorite take-away from the talk was Senor's suggestion for American students: embrace failure; it is gold. Senor explained that from a very young age Israelis learn that failure is not a stigma, but an opportunity for growth and personal development. Israelis are successful economically because they are not afraid to try and try again. If the first thing that we liked to share with people was our greatest failure, rather than our greatest success, we might be able to approach the world in a very different way and create things that could change the way we live forever. I think Union students have the potential to do this — can you prove me right?

The Housing Authority of the City of National City (HACNC), Housing Choice Voucher Program, administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program for eligible low-income households and seniors that either 'live or work' in National City. It is a federally funded program under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which enables participants to obtain decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
If a participant/family meets income and other eligibility guidelines, their name is placed on the waiting list. The waiting period may be anywhere from six (6) to eight (8) years. When funds become available and the family's name has reached the top of the waiting list, an interview and evaluation is conducted. Housing Authority staff inspects all assisted units to ensure that they are in decent, safe and sanitary condition at initial lease-up and during the annual recertification process.
Property owners receive a fair market rent for their units. Families pay their landlords approximately 30% of their income for housing. Section 8 pays the difference directly to the owner.

Icemark Overview
Watermark Your Digital Images with Copyright Ownership Proof
Icemark is a computer application for protecting photos, artwork or other types of images from illegal use. Offering an advanced watermarking technology, Icemark allows you to embed into the image an invisible watermark – a digital identifier that can be detected when the watermarked image is scanned by Icemark. The embedded watermark contains the copyright ownership information – text or image ID. The watermark can only be detected and read to check authorship by the owner of the image who knows a private key.
An Icemark watermark carries the following information: image ID or text, plus there may be the copyright indications, such as "Restricted use", "Do not copy", and "Adult content". This information can serve as a proof of ownership when you discover that your image is used by someone illegally.
Watermarking images with Icemark is an economical way to secretly mark and identify your digital images. It can help photographers, web masters, or any other image owners to protect their photos or artwork from piracy and illegal distribution through World Wide Web by communicating the ownership message.
How It Works
Once installed, Icemark works right out of the box. To embed a watermark, you first load the file into which the watermark will be placed, then type in your values into watermark profile, and click Embed.
Watermarking in batch mode is just as easy. Select the Batch Processing option and the wizard will guide you in configuring watermarking settings and embedding a watermark to selected files.
To detect a watermark, load an image into Icemark and click the Detect button. The program will scan the image for the presence of a watermark. If a watermark is found, the program displays embedded ownership information.
Get Started Now – It's Easy!
Protect your digital photos and artwork with ownership proof today! Download a trial version of Icemark and try it out before you have to pay for it.
Top Reasons to Install Icemark
Choose Icemark and enjoy these exciting features and benefits:
- Digital watermarks are invisible – When you watermark an image, Icemark adds some data to the original file. These changes are so subtle that watermarks are completely imperceptible for human eye. The presence of a watermark can only be detected by the owner of the image.
- Watermark removal is difficult – The watermark is resistant to JPEG compression, geometric distortions, cropping and other image editing operations.
- Configurable watermark intensity – In addition to the default intensity level, Icemark allows you to customize the intensity of the watermark signal. When you decide to change the intensity, be careful not to make it too strong, as the presence of a watermark may become visible.
- Batch mode for high volume watermarking – You can watermark more than one image at a time with a batch processing feature. Just use a wizard to load images, choose output settings and start the process. There are no restrictions on the number of images to watermark– protect as many as you want.
- Support for all popular image types – The program supports all popular image formats. For example, you can watermark images in JPEG, BMP, PNG, PSD, GIF, TIFF. Regardless of the format, the watermark is strong and will survive further conversions to other formats.
- Watermark small images – Typically, the minimal recommended size for watermarked images is 256 x 256 pixels because watermarks on smaller images are not likely to survive. This rule doesn't work for Icemark. Using the program, you can watermark images as small as 40 x 40 pixels!
- Blind detection – The program can detect a watermark without the need for the original image.
- Key protection – It's impossible to detect the watermark unless you have a key – a kind of password that prevents the watermark from discovery by unauthorized people.
- Super-fast watermarking – Written in C++, the program watermarks images with incredible speed.
- Affordable price – Unlike similar software, Icemark makes it less expensive for image owners to protect their images from piracy. The product is only $49.95 to keep.

An aura of innate attraction can turn you into the center of attention today. Since you likely feel appealing and charming, you may respond more openly than usual to praise and other obvious overtures of friendship. Your ability to captivate others may be stronger than usual and you may discover that you can win the appreciation of your peers without actively trying. This can be the perfect time to join a social or work-related group as you may find that relating to unfamiliar people is an easy matter. Likewise, you may want to consider attending networking events today, as your organic magnetism can help you connect with individuals who have interests and objectives similar to your own.
The natural charm we possess can be a wonderful asset to us in our ongoing quest to meet and align ourselves with positive, truthful, and conscious individuals. When the vibrations we project are indicative of our charisma as well as our amicability toward the notion of forging new interpersonal connections, we can easily attract the kind of people who will care for and respect us as intensely and sincerely as we will them. Even when we have little in common with our new acquaintances, our shared appreciation for good humor and affability cleaves us together strongly. The relationships that last the longest frequently grow out of these surprisingly intense initial connections. The aura of charm that establishes itself around you today will empower you to take charge of the expansion of your social and professional spheres.

LG Optimus 2X vs Motorola DROID BIONIC vs Atrix 4G: specs comparison
0. phoneArena 05 Jan 2011, 21:40 posted on
We are comparing the specs of these newly-released beasts in an effort to make things clear about which hanset excels in which area...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. omarc26 (Posts: 360; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
i like the atrix and the bionic man its gunna be hard for me to choose one.. Which one is better?
2. ecml490 (unregistered)
Well it looks like the atrix is slightly better than the bionic, plus the bionic is a bigger phone but I think 4 in is a perfect size for a phone and any above that is just too big.
26. osanilevich (Posts: 285; Member since: 29 Sep 2009)
it all comes down to what you want. Atrix has 1 GB ram while Bionic has a better camera (8GB compared to 5)
3. therygy (Posts: 94; Member since: 24 May 2010)
yeah deffinetaly the ATRIX is better
4. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
how is the Atrix better than the Bionic? it has LTE, more memory, a bigger battery and everything else is pretty much the same.
5. skymitch89 (Posts: 1300; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
Um...The Artix is better because it is coming out sooner and has 1Gb RAM and the Bionic only has 512Mb RAM. Sure the Artix is not LTE, but it is HSPA+ which is fairly fast.
9. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
some sources say it's 1GB. i didn't say the Atrix was slow i said the Bionic is BETTER and LTE is better.
ah i see, i've misread.
16. ecml490 (unregistered)
Yep you misread. The sources you read must be incorrect and I pretty sure. CES even showed that it has a 16GB internal memory. So I proved my point that you can't read.
18. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
pfff! who cares? everything on Verizon is better even you can't deny that. i admitted that i got the phones mixed up okay? and if i can't read then you're obviously dumber for trying to spell it out for me.
20. Dennis (unregistered)
Don't get mad please.. you got the information wrong. Say sorry ok? =)
Further comment on this will yourself even dumber =)
23. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
why do i need to say sorry? i admitted i got the information mixed up but then ecml made that dumb come back and i felt like putting him in his place for being an a%& about it. that's all.
17. ecml490 (unregistered)
And look at AT&T's website and prove you wrong again.
13. testman22 (Posts: 338; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
by the time hspa+ comes out the atrix will be outdated
36. Ruvvvy (unregistered)
Too bad its only 1GB in laptop mode.... uhm not worth it? I think Bionic is the better of the two with that considered.
6. ecml490 (unregistered)
I am pretty sure they have the same memory and the same battery, can you read the specs?
22. raney150 (unregistered)
The Atrix is LTE
24. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
the Atrix is HSPA+
the LTE field under the Atrix is empty for a reason.
7. Andriodluvr (unregistered)
WOW,,, no love for the Optimus 2x !!
The only thing the Moto Atrix 4G has advantage over the Optimus is the 1930 battery and the 16 gb of internal versus the 8 gig for opitmus.
8. Luke (unregistered)
Atrix definitely is more awesome...
....for why!
Laptop and desktop replacement!
31. smartfone (unregistered)
Oh yeah, i already got the money for the ATRIX, cant wait!
10. mileyrool (Posts: 2; Member since: 15 Jul 2009)
how sweet is that..i think motorola droid bionic is the best one.
11. wazupken (Posts: 5; Member since: 01 Jan 2011)
I think the iphone 4 is better. Ok where are my thumbs down -.-
21. Dennis (unregistered)
Lol. Good job! Even though I am using a Galaxy S phone, I still think that the iPhone offers a more complete package in one device.
+ Only phone that I would get with AT&T is the iPhone. I probably won't care much about Atrix If I am on AT&T.
thumbs down?
12. surethom (Posts: 682; Member since: 04 Mar 2009)
The Atrix has LED notification do any of the others, This is the Number 1 thing I look for in a new touchscreen phone can you please add to ALL your posts whether the phones have one or NOT.
14. Motoxer (unregistered)
Droid Bionic all the way. Look at the screen resolution of that thing. I'm rocking the DX right now and couldn't imagine going to a smaller screen.
I think the ones voting for the Atrix are probably with at&t ha ha.
Verizon says they're releasing 6 new Android L.T.E. devices so I think the best is yet to come!!!
15. yt1300 (unregistered)
sry to dissapoint you but atrix has the same QHD resolution as bionic and with a 0.3 ich smaller screen it must be looking a bit better
i know what i'm gonna get for birthday (march) :D
19. Ryry loves phones (unregistered)
I wanted the bionic soooooo bad but come on...Q2???? I want to see if the LG or the Samsung phones are good so I can just get them instead...anyone agree???
25. ajm (unregistered)
Yeah Lg has a pretty decent phone. Its the optimus X2.Samsung is coming out with a 4.5 inch beast but i dont the specs are as nice as either LGs or the moto phones. But the Atrix and the Bionic has the best specs by far.
27. oneandonly478 (Posts: 10; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
samsung infuse dont count it out.
28. qskater (unregistered)
Atrix sounds the best, only because it has 1 GB of memory. I haven't heard good things about ATT from people I know who have it in my area. Hate it when a good phone gets stuck on a bad network.
29. ComeToTerms (unregistered)
The current 3 top dogs in their perspective carrier. Shame, what happened to Sprint...you guys suck when it come to releasing new phones. But anyway, unfortunately the Atrix is the leader in memory but the size and the screen specs of the Bionic look great. And hey Tmobile, love those guys and their great pricing plans so that Optimus 2X looks even better. We have to wait before we pass judgement though because their are more phones to come. HTC, Samsung, LG and Sony. There will be another Droid as well. Everyone needs to wait until April atleast before me make the final decision of 2011's number one handheld.
30. syfer (unregistered)
I have seen them both and here what different from both of them are:
Motorola Atrix 4G
The 5 Mp camera will offer 720p.
Display is 540 x 960 pixels
Internal 16 GB storage
Card slot microSD up to 32GB
5 MP, 2592х1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
LG Optimus 2X
Size 480 x 800 pixels, 4.0 inches
Internal 8 GB storage
Card slot microSD up to 32GB
8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
Video Yes, 1080p@24fps, 720@30fps
So if you are a gamer looking for the best gaming phone then you have to go with NVIDIA Tegra 2 phones. Know the only two on the market January 10 2011 is the above the Motorola Atrix 4G and LG Optimus 2X. Know the best gaming phone has to go with Motorola Atrix 4G as it's got a bigger screen and the 16gb storage which is really nice.
If you want the best picture quality and want 1080p play back then go with the LG Optimus 2X it has a better camera and it plays 1080p back as well.
Hope this helps as I think both phones are good but I think the Motorola Atrix 4G should have had a better camera like 12MP the 5MP is so 2 years old know If only it could have a better camera and can play record 1080p like the LG Optimus 2X But that me I do think the LG Optimus 2X two advances of the Motorola Atrix 4G
2. Yes, 1080p@24fps
So that's my felling about these two phones.

Oh yeah i already have the money for the atrix
33. Rextc (unregistered)
Atrix is the most powerful superphone. it is the only one with all these specs, WSVGA qHD scree, tegra-2 dual-core 1ghz, only one with 1GB RAM/DDR2, only one with 1950mah battery, 16GB internal storage (48 with microsdhc), 4G radio (HSPA++ and LTE support), cool docking stations which allow laptop functions/multimedia.
Plus the benchmarks are in....
Motorola Bionic (Android 2.2 Froyo):
Quadrant gave us an impressive score of 2264.
This is without the software or hardware optimized
Motorola Atrix (Android 2.2 Froyo):
Despite still running preliminary firmware, Quadrant gave us the ridiculous score of 2,616!
34. elbory360 (unregistered)
it all comes down to is what provider do you have , i'm not switching to AT&T FOR THE ATRIX .i Think verizon is a better service provider ,i didn't do it for the iphone when it first came out. but verizon is coming with a better selection , thunderbolt-bionic-lg and a samsun phone i don't know to much about. Sorry Iphone the Androids are coming...
35. Mike (unregistered)
Pretty sure the Droid Bionic does have global roaming capabilities since it's a LTE phone. Thoughs!?!
37. JordanCox (Posts: 21; Member since: 17 Apr 2011)
I have the Atrix and i'm starting to look at new phones. It's an awesome phone don't get me wrong. I just can't stick with a phone for more than six months it seems :/
So now i'm looking at the Lg Thrill :)

U.S. men's WWUG Trials underwaySTEVENS POINT, Wis. - The fourth-seeded North Dakota squad led by Jerad Daul upended the No. 1-seeded Jerod Roland rink, 10-5, in the opening round of the 2009 World University Games Trials Thursday night at the Rice Lake Curling Club in Rice Lake, Wis.
Daul (Fargo, N.D.) and teammates Evan Workin (Fargo, N.D.) Parker Shook (Horace, N.D.) and Weston Porchardt (Fargo, N.D.) started strong with a deuce in the first end. After holding Roland (Petersburg, N.D.) and teammates Benjamin Wilson (Hibbing, Minn.), Stephen Dropkin (Southborough, Mass.) and Cooper Smith (Bismarck, N.D.) to a single in the second end, Team Daul added one more point in the third and stole a game-changing three in the fourth end. Roland's team tried to stay in the game scoring two in the fifth end to cut the deficit to 6-3, but Daul's team scored three more points in the sixth end to put the game out of reach.
On the adjacent sheet of ice, Chris Pleasants led his Washington team to a 10-5 victory of their own over Brad Caldwell's team from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Pleasants (Seattle) and teammates Zachary Radmer (Seattle), Jon Chartrand (Seattle) and Bret Nordlund (Issaquah, Wash.) fell behind early to Caldwell's four-some as the 2008 U.S. Junior Nationals bronze medalists scored three points to open up the game. Trailing 4-1 after three ends, Pleasants' team put it into high gear scoring four points over the next three ends to take a 5-4 lead.
Caldwell (Mapleton, Minn.) and teammates Matthew Collom (Galesville, Wis.), Tyler Vietanen (Trempealeau, Wis.) and John Landsteiner (Mapleton, Minn.) could only score a single in the seventh end and would be kept off the scoreboard thereafter. The Washington team answered with three in the eighth and a steal of two in the ninth end to seal the victory.
The four teams return to the ice at 12 p.m. CT today. Live end-by-end scoring from the event can be found online at http://www.usacurl.org/curlingrocks/. The double round robin continues through Sunday. The team with the best record will be named Team USA.
The U.S. women's team is composed of Katherine Stewart (Minneapolis), Amanda McLean (Duluth, Minn.), Casey Cucchiarelli (Wausau, Wis.) and Sarah Mcleod (Esko, Minn.). A playdown wasn't necessary as this was the lone team signed up for the event. McLean is the only athlete with international experience. She won the 2004 U.S. junior title and placed fourth at the 2004 World Junior Championships. Stewart has appeared in the past three U.S. Junior Nationals, with her highest finish coming in 2007 when she led her team to a fourth-place finish.
The winning men's team will join the Stewart rink, pending approval from the United States Olympic Committee, at the 2009 Winter WUG Feb. 20-27 in Harbin, China. This is the third time that curling will be featured as a medal sport at the winter universiad.
Jerad Daul (North Dakota) 1-0
Chris Pleasants (Washington) 1-0
Brad Caldwell (Minnesota) 0-1
Jerod Roland (North Dakota) 0-1
USA Curling is sponsored by AIT Worldwide Logistics, AmerAust Technologies and Nike.

Saginaw Valley State University will gain 10 clinical nursing instructors to meet a growing statewide demand for nurses, Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm said today.
"Michigan has a critical nurse shortage," the governor said at SVSU in Kochville Township after touring the nursing school and meeting students and faculty.
SVSU will receive about $250,000 from the Michigan Nursing Corps, a state initiative, and Covenant Medical Center in Saginaw, where nursing educators will teach students, officials said.
The Nursing Corps will hand out $5 million grants to six universities, including SVSU, and four hospitals in the next fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, the governor's office said.

Ubisoft has not mentioned the game ever since it acquired the IP in THQ's bankruptcy auction earlier this year, yet if the game is still on track, that means it will release on August 23rd as planned.

A multimillion dollar surplus is being projected for Milwaukee County, and the county executive said he's not assuming a dime.
The county is on track to finish the year $12 million in the black.
That's after facing a $54 million projected shortfall heading into this year.
"None of our assumptions for next year assume a dime in this surplus. And we all know we have a few places where we're going to need it next year. The transit funding at some point will fall off there and we're going to need it one way or another," Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele said.
Abele said the surplus is bigger than it was earlier in the year, so it's moving in the right direction.

Most Americans take a break from their busy lives at some point during the summer.
One family, however, decided to break with tradition. Instead of taking a week-long vacation they opted instead to take off an entire year.
Christian women's speaker Joanne Kraft and her husband decided to cancel all of their extracurricular activities for themselves and their four kids in the name of family sanity.
Kraft, the author of the book titled "Just Too Busy: Taking Your Family on a Radical Sabbatical," talked to CBN News about their "radical sabbatical" and how it changed their lives for the better.
She also gave some pointers to other families seeking relief from the stress of their everyday lives during an appearance on the CBN News Channel Morning News, Aug. 18.

Colonel Jack presents us with yet another of Defoe's picaresque protagonists, in a narrative structure which harks back to the tradition of spiritual autobiography (used by the author in so many of his fictional works), where the individual struggles to survive in a hostile world. In the established manner of the 'picaro', or rogue, figure popularised in earlier Spanish prose romances, and popular as the basis for fiction in Defoe's day, the hero initially ekes out a living on the margins of society, living by his wits. Various adventures take him to the Virginia colony and the continent, encompassing criminal activity and war service along the way, before he finally attains a state of personal security at the end of his life. <…

The survey conducted for Canwest News Service and Global National for Easter, found 30 per cent of Canadians who believe in God also believe in evolution. Another 23 per cent of believers say they agree with ideas put forth by both creationists and evolutionists.
As you get older, you become more accepting of possibilities, says John Wright, senior vice-president of Toronto-based pollster Ipsos Reid. There are now people who are prepared to accept both sides and dont see them as necessarily being mutually exclusive.
Overall, 31 per cent of Canadians believe humans were created by a spiritual force and not as part of an evolution from other species over time; 41 per cent believe that humans evolved from lower species such as apes; 21 per cent are on the fence, agreeing and disagreeing with certain aspects of each theory; seven per cent arent sure.
You can see that with people divided on the issue that it lends itself to trying to get creationism taught in schools.
And if creationism is accepted then why not all rules that separate church and state?

I don't honestly see the difference between a desktop application and a
web based one. Means of delivery is the only difference.
If the browser chrome is minimized and the application is started by a
customised shortcut, it appears familiar to users who are used to
desktop experiences.
Add in extra confusions like Flash player versus AIR. You can deliver
the same content on the desktop as in the browser (Its just how the swf
is delivered that is different), am I to believe one should have
right-click (context click, secondary click, whatever) behaviour and the
other one shouldn't?

What is this "right click" thing you speak of?
I guess you haven't considered folks that use a left handed mouse

that's cool, I'll start using the term "left click" to mean secendary

Why Should You Attend:
Do you refrain from terminating employees because you are concerned about running afoul with either the FMLA or ADA and do not want a lawsuit? This interactive virtual workshop will help you understand when and how you can have confidence to terminate employees if they are not complying with notification and intermittent leaves as they relate to both FMLA and the ADA. Learn when enough is enough, and how to clearly document the process to avoid costly lawsuits.
The FMLA has challenged both experienced and new HR professionals since it became law. Recent changes to the FMLA and the ADAAA have increased this confusion. Understanding the various leaves that run concurrently and/or consecutively, and navigating the compliance maze adds a level of complexity that boggles the most seasoned professional. This webinar provides an overview of areas in which the biggest mistakes are made. It is an opportunity for HR and Payroll professionals to learn strategies for consistent application of compliance regulations

MILLVILLE, N.J. — In the same peaceful church sanctuary at St. John Bosco Church where Air Force Staff Sgt. Thomas Walkup Jr. once served as an altar boy, mourners yesterday attended his Funeral Mass.
Walkup, 25, who grew up in Millville, was aboard a transport helicopter that crashed Nov. 23 during a military support operation near Bagram, Afghanistan, killing five U.S. soldiers and injuring eight others.
"I have such fond memories of Tommy, because he was always ready to serve," said Msgr. William Graham of St. Lawrence Church in Lindenwold, who was pastor of St. John's during Walkup's three years as an altar boy (beginning at age 13). "When he was scheduled to be here to serve as an altar boy, you knew he would be here. He had a very clear-cut notion of what it meant to do the right thing and how to serve. And it is in that same readiness to serve that he tragically lost his life."

Since I don't see her raging here, I'm guessing she's not upset. Or, I hope not, since I like her kinda odd posts. Besides that, the thread that prompted your post died a quick death since pretty much no one supported the op.
That aside, I agree in principle with what you're saying. It isn't kind to make fun of someone's looks, especially out of nowhere and unprovoked. But...
...I can see Bully's point too – the internet is something of a free-for-all where people act out in ways they wouldn't face to face. He's not concerned by jokes about his looks; I'm not either. I wouldn't post the sort of pics I do if I was. If you've seen my photos here then you know what I'm talking about. But here's the thing; I'm amused by it because I'm not sensitive about my appearance. I have no reason to be. I
being a little different looking and have learned by experience that the majority of folks consider me different in a good way. And I've got amazing legs and a sweet ass and that never hurts.
That doesn't mean I think
should be ok with others having a go at their looks. We all have our sensitive points. ALL of us; I don't pass a lot of time in rants, but I've got a pretty good idea what would really get to many of the various regulars. Me, I don't take attacks on my personality very well and that's because, in real life, I've been justifiably criticized for being, well, an arrogant jerk at times. I'm probably also not the best person to get into a negative conversation about First Nations and treaty rights with. Those are
sensitive spots. For someone else, it could be appearance. Or, in your case, HIV references, or pretty much anything, it seems.
All that said,
this is rants
. People have to understand that
what goes on here is not serious
. It's banter. It's dick waving. Almost anything goes, so long as it stays in context. The personalities folks put forth here are not exactly who they are. I'm willing to bet you'd get on fine with everyone in this section if you met them away from the computer.
So stop trying to be the voice of reason. No one asked for one.
You actually put some effort in this post, so I will reply.
You would have saved yourself a few sentences had you followed everything i've posted in this thread so far, as you'd know that I addressed much of what you're saying.
I'll narrow it down.
1: I know this is rants, and i'm very much aware that this place is a popularity contest with people stroking each other's ***** at the expense of other people's ridicule. I don't need to establish that this section is a cesspool for the most part, it does a well enough job of establishing this on it's own.
2: Like I said, this is not exclusive to the Kelly Kelly thing, but on to that for a second. You're welcome to share your anecdote as pertains to the pictures you posted, but that doesn't change the fact that Kelly Kelly never posted the pics that were used on THIS particular Forum, the OP took it upon himself to fetch those on a social network site in an attempt to ridicule her over her looks. And for what exactly, what type of reasoning did the OP have? None whatsoever. Did it not occur to you that Kelly didn't complain about it because she might not have stumbled across the thread yet? How do you think she'd feel if she did? Point is, the post your picture thread was not created to have lowlife little twats use your pics to ridicule you on a subsection of this Forum. The moderator closed the thread and I commended him for that, but the OP got a mere slap on the wrist, and some people are actually coming to his defence on this thread which says a whole lot.
3 Whatever you or Bully thinks is your prerogative, I think otherwise. Stop assuming what I do or don't understand, and stop assuming what everyone wants or doesn't want aside from speaking for yourself. I'll be the voice of reason if I damn well please. If it's a standard for people on here to come in and do damage control for the stupidity taking place, that's not my problem.
4. This is my rant, unlike most rants in this section only i'm actually touching on a meaningful topic. It pisses people off ether because they are guilty of this behavior, or they settled in a comfortable little niche as spectators to this crap. It's a Kangaroo Court run by inmates, I don't need to prove this any further after seing a mod criticise me on my views yet did F all to address the guy that ridiculed a dead relative of mine on this very thread.

Aaron Eckhart has some advice for monster movie and Mary Shelley purists who might quibble with I, Frankenstein, his futuristic movie version of the creature that features Eckhart as the monster almost 100 years in the future.
"Get on Twitter," he chuckles, suggesting the best place to complain. "They already are! Believe me."
None of that 19th-century piecing together of human body parts, harnessing of lightning and jolting a creature to life in this Frankenstein, which opens Jan. 24. (It was not screened in advance for critics.)
The monster in I, Frankenstein is 200 years old and called Adam. He's survived into a future dystopia where he gets caught up in human-zombie wars. Sure, it's a genre picture, Eckhart says with a laugh. But if he were to take to Twitter himself to try to sell it, here's his 140-or-so- character summation.
"It's a monster movie with a human soul. Fans of this genre may care about that, but a lot of people just don't. They care about the action, the effects. If I'm selling this movie on a tweet, it's 'Man in search of his purpose.'"
Eckhart found that something he could relate to. At 45, he's never broken out as a headliner, a box-office attraction who can open a film based on his name alone. His screen presence is formidable.
Supporting roles in blockbusters from Erin Brockovich to The Dark Knight films (as Harvey "Two-Face" Dent) and leads in more daring fare such as Thank You for Smoking have never added up to an escape from B-movies or actioners (Olympus Has Fallen).
"I've never been an actor who lets himself get shoved into a corner," Eckhart says.
"Movies are about entertaining, first of all, the fantasy that we lose ourselves in. But they're also about storytelling and growing. So I look for the humanity in the character, the lessons we can learn from his journey." Even if the character is covered in makeup, a 200-year-old monster.
I, FRANKENSTEIN (Not reviewed.)
Directed by Stuart Beattie. PG-13 (sequences of intense fantasy action and violence throughout). 100 mins. In wide release.
