From the London Evening Standard
A young woman was facially disfigured and almost lost her eyesight in a horrific unprovoked acid attack on the streets of London.

"Who would do that?
Muslims would. Muslims do.
The police are keeping an 'open mind as to the motive'.
Not hard to figure it out, surely.
She was, to judge from her name, black and a Christian, she was out alone without a Muslim male owner (making her Lawful Prey) and she was probably decently dressed in non-Muslim female clothing. All those things made her Lawful Prey in the eyes of any pious Mohammedan - whether male or female - who has appointed themselves one of what Nonie Darwish calls 'allah's Enforcers', claiming the right to forbid what Islam calls wrong and command what Islam calls right (one must remember, too, that most of what Islam calls 'wrong' and 'right' have no relationship to what all other humans on the planet define as either good or evil; indeed, many things that Islam commands and admires are EVIL in the sight of other humans, and much that Islam calls 'wrong' - pet dogs, wine, visible head hair and visible faces on women, women walking by themselves in the street, church bells, music, representational art - is regarded by others as either neutral, or good).
I think I shall quote from Australian journalist Geraldine Brooks' 1994 book 'Nine Parts of Desire' which though fairly 'soft' in some respects, still taught me a lot about the extent of the oppression of women within the Islamosphere. Chapter 8, 'the getting of wisdom', about education, describes a visit she paid to the Islamic University of Gaza (she had to don a jalabiya to do so, her scarf and loose-fitting long-sleeved ankle-length dress were not considered Islamically-compliant enough).
She is in the women's cafeteria, talking to her guide/ minder:
Geraldine observes that 'driving from the huge military roadblock that divides the Gaza Strip from Israel, I hadn't seen a single unveiled woman'.
"There is no coercion", said Majida. I gazed down at my dowdy serge sack. "Of course, we can impose it here, inside the university. But outside we don't impose it. [No, the other Mohammedthugs did that on behalf of the likes of Majida, outside. - CM] The relationship is with God [sic: allah - CM] and each woman can decide for herself. (Yes: she can decide to be pelted with mud, dung, rocks, perhaps acid, maybe even bashed up, raped or murdered by swivel-eyed mohammedthugs; or she can wear the Slave Rag - CM].
"I sipped my Coke and said nothing.
"I had been in the emergency room of a Gaza hospital when a young Palestinian [sic - Arab Chrisitan- CM] nurse came in, shaking, her uniform covered with brown stains.
"'It was the boys in the market", she said. (That is: the Arab Muslim boys - CM). "They told me to cover my head. I told them I was Christian, but they said it didn't matter. They said, 'The Virgin Mary covered her head, so why not you?' (I have heard this nonsensical 'argument' from Mohammedans at internet forums, since forever. It's BS. - CM). They threw rotten fruit at me, and told me next time it would be acid". END QUOTE.
As on the streets of Gaza City in the early 1990s, now on... the streets of London.
Of LONDON!!!! This is it. This is beyond tolerating. This sort of sh*t simply DID NOT HAPPEN until Mohammedans were allowed into the UK.
If this masked mohammedthug - male or female - who threw acid in the face of Naomi Oni can be caught, then that thug should be stripped of British citizenship, if s/he possesses it, and returned to the Islamic country of their origin. With their whole family. And, preferably, with the imam of the mosque s/he attends.
If the thug can't be caught, then 'sting' operations should be mounted until it is caught...or others like it.
And maybe several hundred thousand Infidel women, all decently (by infidel standards) and unislamically dressed, with a similar number of men, and bringing along every dog they possess, for good measure, since pet dogs too were anathema to Mohammed the Mad, could conduct a Reclaim Our Streets march - a Say No To Sharia march - in solidarity with Naomi Oni. Hold up banners: "We Are All Naomi Oni". "We Will Not Submit". "We Say No To The Slave Rag".

When I read this story and saw the photos in the paper last night, i was so angry. This poor girl (who is black) has had her life destroyed. The craven BBC merely talks about 'a masked attacker'. An injury to one, is an injury to all.
2 Feb 2013
The attacker may not be female. Hiding inside the muslim modesty sack is a fairly well known tactic.

Just starting your Elizabeth self storage search? There are a few things you should know. If you're wondering how much you should expect to pay for self storage in Elizabeth, consider the fact that storage prices are closely related to factors like the real estate climate, the economic prospects of the city, and population growth. Using US Census data, we've pieced together a better picture of those factors as they relate to self storage in Elizabeth.
One of the primary uses of self storage is as a safe place to keep your things between moving homes. If many people are moving to or from Elizabeth, prices could be higher and availability lower. A city with a high amount of moving activity should see substantial changes in population, so by looking at population data for Elizabeth we can get a better idea of the amount of moving activity. From 2010 to 2014, the Elizabeth metro area population grew from 125,274 to 128,705, a growth rate of 2.74% according to the US Census.
One way to get an idea of the demand for housing and storage space in Elizabeth is to look at housing occupancy and vacancy rates. If there's low vacancy rates in Elizabeth housing, there's likely low vacancy at Elizabeth storage facilities. This would allow storage facilities in Elizabeth to charge higher prices for their units. 8.6% of housing units in Elizabeth are vacant according to the US Census, while 91.4% are occupied. That's a lower vacancy rate than the average for cities in the United States, and suggests that storage facility vacancy in Elizabeth may also be lower. Low vacancy allows storage facilities to charge higher rent, so a cheap storage unit could be trickier to find in Elizabeth than in other cities.

Mason Crosby is perfect after four games
Green Bay – Kicker Mason Crosby said he feels really good about how he's striking the ball and considering the summer he had, that's a good thing.
For the first time in his career, he was 5-for-5 in field goals, making them from 26, 52, 31, 42 and 45 yards Sunday. He gave the Packers 15 of their 22 points in the 22-9 victory against the Lions at Lambeau Field.
"I was happy. I am happy that I'm getting all these opportunities," said Crosby. "I want to score touchdowns as much as anyone else because that means we're putting up points. But whenever I'm called, I want to take advantage of it."
After James Jones' 27-yard touchdown was called back in the fourth quarter, Crosby hit the fifth field goal. He tied the team record with it; Ryan Longwell also hit five against Arizona in 2000 and Chris Jacke hit five twice in his career.
"I had a great week of work," said Crosby.
So far this season, Crosby is 9-for-9. It has been about as perfect of a rebound as one can expect for a guy who handed the kickoff duties over to punter Tim Masthay, who fought off competition in training camp and restructured his contract after he was up and down in 2012.
All of that was far in the rearview mirror on Sunday.
"It is my first time ever with five field goals," said Crosby. "I'm really pumped about that. At the same time, it's awesome that it came with a win."
The 52-yarder was a confidence builder in the second quarter, with light winds and perfect conditions in the South End of Lambeau.
"I didn't hit it as high as I wanted to," said Crosby. "It didn't come off with a ton of elevation but obviously it was enough. But it was right down the middle and that was my thing, just hit a good, strike on the ball. Down on that end, even though there's not that much wind down there, as I'm learning the new Lambeau I guess, that new side I just have to kind of blast one down the middle. Take the side wind out of it and just hit it."

Now who is going to be bitter
My baby's hair is onesie neck length. Get like me, Wemens!
I got my braids taken out and as I suspected my edges have thinned. Man, this always happens. This time I went to a lady specifically known for not braiding too tight and healthy hair/ protective styling techniques. This is the least my hair has thinned after braids but still. I think I will forgo braids; I just don't think my hair can take it. I'm using castor oil on my edges and to seal my ends. I hope it helps.
OAN, my hair is getting long. #longhairdon'tcare. (Until I cut it all off then #shorthairdon'tcare)

We did a bit of shopping not much, we were mostly trying to get deals on Coco some new clothes. No electronics or anything... no fighting or cussing and fussing...
I got no pics of my food

Waubonsee Community College is offering open house sessions for parents and students to learn how financial aid works and get help completing their 2017 – 2018 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Kati Sibenaller grew up wanting to work in health care, but after graduating from high school, she didn't feel ready for college and so those dreams were sidelined until she was inspired by the dedicated nurses who helped her through a high risk pregnancy and the delivery of her son.
Representatives from more than 100 public and private colleges will be on hand for Waubonsee Community College's College Night on Oct. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The Fox Country Players, in partnership with Waubonsee Community College's Community Education, welcome "Sister Act" to the Waubonsee Auditorium stage next month.
Individuals interested in a broad variety of career and technical (CTE) programs will have the opportunity to sample these programs through sessions scheduled this fall at Waubonsee Community College.

OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: 05-1137-NEW (osha 072)
Wed., June 29, 2005
Contact: Kate Dugan
Phone: (215) 861-5101
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. -- The developer of a multi-unit residential complex in Rochelle Park, N.J., has been cited by the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for multiple violations of safety and health standards. Proposed penalties total $121,000.
Town & Country Developers, headquartered in Woodcliff, N.J., was issued citations alleging three willful violations, with a penalty of $99,000, for exposing employees to falls of six feet or more and improperly storing liquefied petroleum gas containers. Willful violations are defined by OSHA as the intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
"Exposing workers to dangerous falls and improperly storing gases that can explode put these workers at great risk," said Lisa Levy, area director of the Hasbrouck Heights OSHA office. "This employer is well aware of safety requirements but did not follow them."
Citations for serious violations, with a proposed penalty of $14,000, were issued due to the employer's failure to protect employees from falls, allowing foot traffic on dangerous stairs, lack of handrails and allowing temporary heaters too close to combustible materials. Serious violations are cited when death or serious injury could occur from hazards about which the employer knew or should have known.
The single repeat citation carries a penalty of $8,000. It was issued for failure to provide fire extinguishers on the site and in areas where combustible gases were stored. OSHA cited Town & Country Developers for a similar violation in the past.
The inspection was conducted by the Hasbrouck Heights OSHA office, 500 Route 17 S., phone (201) 288-1700. The company has 15 working days to request an informal meeting with the OSHA area director or contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health issues.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

The Case for Long-Short Commodity Investing
Joëlle Miffre
EDHEC Business School
Adrian Fernandez-Perez
Auckland University of Technology
September 5, 2012
Journal of Alternative Investments, Vol. 18, No. 9, 2015
The article presents strong evidence in favor of long-short (as opposed to long-only) commodity investments. We show that long-short fully-collateralized commodity portfolios based on momentum, term structure or hedging pressure present higher Sharpe ratios, lower volatility and lower correlation with the S&P500 index than long-only commodity portfolios. Besides long-short hedging pressure portfolios serve as partial hedge against extreme equity risk as they present decreasing correlations with the S&P500 index in periods of heightened equity volatility. This is good news to equity investors: it is precisely when the volatility of equity markets is high that the benefits of diversification are most appreciated. In contrast, the conditional correlation between the S&P500 and long-only commodity indices substantially rises with the S&P500 volatility, suggesting that the risk diversification of long-only commodity portfolios prevails less when needed most.

We do have a fondness for a wacky pant here, especially Jessica.
But there's a lot of acreage in the world to be a GOOD wacky pant, and not Monistat-bait with pajama-grade legs.

This starts as a power lunch…
… and ends as Reality Bites. In ten minutes she's going to get fired from her internship and ends up chain-smoking on a couch while talking to her psychic friend at $1.95 a minute.
Seriously, are the '90s back, and coming to get me? Should I have kept my Doc Martens? See, THIS is why people become hoarders. And those pants are why people become tailors. So that they can turn their trade into a vaccine against Stump Disease.

I understand the impulse to be grown-up, although maybe not at this particular event. But I don't understand the urge to be geriatric before you're even out of your teens.
That top wants to be a mini-dress. Those pants want to march right into the condo board's meeting and DEMAND that they switch back to Rold Gold pretzels in the lobby snack bowl because WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY and Hazel in the building next door just will not stop yapping about how they get better snacks, and if she doesn't put a sock in it soon she's going to get some Tide powder in with her Metamucil, and THAT'll teach her.
[Photo: Fame/Flynet]
This started out fine, and then descended into Pants Madness. The're billowy and frumpy, unflattering, better off hanging in someone's kitchen window… and girl, unzipping your trousers should be a sprint, not a marathon. Fortunately she fared better elsewhere.
[Photo: Getty]
Lana here is leaving a Courtney Love concert at the Troubadour, so yeah, fair play, there's no need to get hyper-fancy on us — and in fact insane might even be the appropriate way to go.
But a plaid shirt, abdominal lash extensions, and pants that are basically the same as the ones that won Fug Madness 2012 for Vanessa Hudgens… this is a pretty toxic cocktail of fug. It may be dangerous to be out and about in public at this level of fugtoxication. Can we invent a breathalyzer for fashion?

Can't understand the negative reviews (including one when the restaurant was closed for refurbishment!) The salad is delicious and varied - many more ingredients than the three listed.
We are a family of foodies who have been regularly returning to Meze Mangal for many years and will continue to do so - the staff are lovely, we have never been hustled out. All the meat is delicious but I especially enjoy the quails and the fish - also make sure you try the lahmacun.

The worst Turkish restaurant I have been to in London by far.... For decent Turkish head to green lanes. Cheaper, nicer, tastier and better atmosphere.

This restaurant has been hyped up so much it bloody misleading.
The food is bland and flavourless, the charcoal grill SPITS out charcoal all over the place and the staff and owners smoke and drink tea outside in front of customers.
The salad has no real imagination or flavour, the bread is decent as it's cooked there and hot, but unfortunately the meat is just plain and has a MEATY SMELL which is not your normal smell but a funny smell.
It's unfortunate when you sit down within about 20-30 mins you're basically being pushed to finish up and get out.
They treat you like cattle not customers, IN, EAT, PAY, HURRY UP AND GET OUT.
Cheaper options and friendlier options available in south London like the other Turkish restaurants in lewisham, Catford and Dulwich.
Will NOT BE GOING BACK.

Brent Budowsky: If a Democratic House and Senate are elected in 2014, it would re-empower Obama for one of the strongest closing two years of an eight-year presidency in modern history, which could avoid lame-duck status almost entirely with what historians would ultimately describe as "Obama's third term."
Dem Base Fears Obama Sellout
Brent Budowsky: Many of those who worked their hearts out and won the last election are increasingly concerned today, a concern that would be ignored at great political peril..
Billionaire Dispatches: We're Buy-Partisan
Clifford "Felonius Ax" Tasner: "Corporatist" Dems pander to the same socially liberal causes as their fellow Dems, but when the time comes, they vote on our behalf to deregulate and privatize and outsource and downsize.
Hillary for Vice President
Brent Budowsky: An Obama-Clinton ticket would increase the president's popular and electoral votes. It would increase voter turnout for Democrats and elect more Democrats to the House and Senate.
Romney Ignites Democratic Base
Randy Shaw: Barack Obama's campaign has lots of money, but there is no way it could match Romney's success at getting this base to align with the President.
My Political Prediction for 2012: It's Obama-Clinton
Robert Reich: Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that's been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.
Obama, Reid and Pelosi Lead Charge Against Tea Party Millionaire Party
Brent Budowsky: There are smiles today throughout the Democratic base because the fighting spirit is back for the Dems.
A Passionless Presidential Race?
Robert Reich: Occupiers and others have had enough.
Yet paradoxically the presidential race that officially begins a few months from now is likely to be as passionless as they come.
Should Blacks Be Satisfied with Obama's Jobs Speech?
As Harry Reid Battles, Democrats Must Not Surrender
Brent Budowsky: When the full truth is told about the secret deals that will define the fiscal future of America and the fate of programs at the heart of the Democratic Party heritage, it will be clear that Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is the most important leader in Washington carrying the torch, against great odds, for what true Democrats stand for.
Can Obama Pull a Clinton on the GOP?
Robert Reich: It's no accident that President Obama appears to be following the Clinton script. After all, it worked.
Harry Reid: Prime Minister
Brent Budowsky: Reid is now effectively playing the role of prime minister, trying to enact the programs of a Democratic president facing a strongly partisan and ideological Republican House and a narrow and tentative Democratic majority in the Senate.
Obama's '12 Business Bet
Brent Budowsky: Obama is making a riverboat gamble that by doubling down on courting big business he will unleash a surge of jobs and lead resurgent Democrats to a triumph in 2012. Whether this strategy works will determine whether the 2012 campaign resembles the Reagan reelection of 1984 or the chaotic election of 1968.

LFT files lawsuit challenging Act 749
As first announced on June 18th, 2010, the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, the East Baton Rouge Federation of Teachers and the Jefferson Federation of Teachers will file a lawsuit today challenging the constitutionality of Act 749/ HB 1368 ("Red Tape Reduction and Local Waiver Empowerment Program") in the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge.
Act 749, which Governor Bobby Jindal signed into law yesterday, authorizes the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to grant local school superintendents waivers or exemptions to virtually every law governing public education in Louisiana.
"As of June 30, 2010, Governor Jindal has signed more than 750 bills into law. And, while the reach of Act 749 is limited to public education, this Act diminishes the value and respect for all law by implying that law is analogous with red tape," said Monaghan. "Because we support the legislative process and the value of law, we have no choice but to challenge the constitutionality of this act."
BESE is a policy-making body comprising 11 members. Eight are elected, and three are appointed by the governor. BESE is one of more than 450 Louisiana Boards and Commissions.
"If allowed to stand, this law will permit BESE to act as a legislative body," Monaghan said. "BESE will be allowed to decide which laws passed by the legislature will be enforced, and in which communities. The opportunity for selective enforcement of state law will open the door for accusations of disparate treatment from any district denied a requested waiver."
"By outsourcing its legislative authority to BESE and allowing the selective enforcement of duly enacted laws," Monaghan continued, "we believe the State Legislature has unconstitutionally ceded its authority to another entity."
Monaghan said that Act 749 is very different from the state's charter school law, which allows waivers of laws and policies that affect other public schools.
"In establishing charter schools, the legislature itself was explicit regarding exemption from or waiver of law," Monaghan said. "But with Act 749 the legislature surrenders to BESE the power to cherry-pick which laws can be flouted, and in which school districts. That is a crucial distinction."
Federation General Counsel Larry Samuel said, "We do not believe that we are breaking new ground with this suit," Samuel said. "We believe there is adequate, settled case law proving that the legislature does not have the constitutional auth

The idea behind Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show (subtitle: 30 Days and 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland) is, at the least, logistically ambitious: take four comedians, put them on a bus, and have them do a show a night for a whole month, starting in L.A. and finishing in Chicago. And get a film crew to tag along.
Vaughn, with his retro Rat Pack vibe, hosts the gigs, and guest notables - country warbler Dwight Yoakam, Swingers cast-mate Jon Favreau - pop up here and there. And the comedians? Ahh, therein lies the flaw in the Wedding Crashers' star's plan.

Wine Details
Sonoma Mountain › Sonoma County › California › United States
Wine Description
(From 2012 Vintage) Tribute is a first of its kind. Made entirely from estate-grown grapes, this Bordeaux blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the complexity and individuality of our Benziger family Sonoma estate. Tribute was the first Demeter-certified Biodynamic® wine from Sonoma County and one of the first from North America.
Winemaker's Notes
(From «nv» Vintage) The Benziger Sonoma Mountain estate comprises 30 acres of gardens, woodlands, riparian areas, wetlands, cover crops and wildlife sanctuaries as well as 42 acres of vineyards. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant variety, with smaller plantings of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Old Vine Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. Tribute is a Meritage estate blend of these first four Bordeaux varieties, each block of which is harvested, vinified and aged separately based on exposure, elevation, soil composition, rootstock and clone. The composition varies by vintage, with Cabernet Sauvignon accounting for 50% to 80% of the finished wine. The result is a wine of unique character with a profound sense of place.

Sportsbet.com.au ad depicting wallaby and lion in compromising position sparks controversy
- From: Herald Sun
- June 21, 2013
A raunchy new ad campaign depicting a wallaby in a compromising position is expected to cause a stir among international rugby fans.
Sportsbet.com.au launched its Rugby 2013 Lions Tour Rooting for the Wallabies campaign on Thursday with a 170m by 90m sign painted on a field near Melbourne Airport.
The risque advertisement is directly under Melbourne's international flight path and shows a wallaby hugging a lion from behind.
Watch the first Test between the Wallabies and Lions LIVE and in HD from 7.30pm (EST) Saturday on Fox Sports 2HD!
Both animals are wearing the jerseys of the opposing rugby teams and the wallaby is winking.
Former Australia rugby international Matt Giteau defended the unusual campaign saying it was a bit of fun.
"It's a bit of good-natured ribbing and a bit of fun. Hopefully that's what people see it for," he said.
Sportsbet spokesman Haydn Lane said it was meant to be "cheeky".
The ad is also kicking goals by beating the Guinness World Record for the biggest painted sign on the ground.

Multifactor productivity in manufacturing, 2009
September 28, 2011
From 2008 to 2009, among the largest 4-digit NAICS manufacturing industries (those with employment over 200,000), multifactor productivity—defined as output per unit of combined inputs—rose only in electronic instruments, with all of the other large industries showing declines.
Among the largest manufacturing industries, the largest decline in multifactor productivity from 2008 to 2009 was in machine shops and threaded products. The semiconductors and electronic components industry experienced its first decline since 1987, when the series began.
Multifactor productivity increased in only 12 of the 86 four-digit NAICS manufacturing industries in 2009, which was down from 2008, when it increased in 36 of those 86 industries. Fewer manufacturing industries recorded multifactor productivity increases in 2009 than in any year since 1987.
Output fell in 79 of 86 manufacturing industries in 2009, compared with 66 in 2008; output declined by double-digit percentages in 68 industries. Combined inputs fell in 72 industries in 2009, compared with 70 in 2008. Labor hours fell in all but one manufacturing industry, while intermediate inputs fell in 73 industries and capital services fell in 47 industries.
These data are from the Multifactor Productivity program. To learn more, see "Multifactor Productivity Trends for Detailed Industries, 2009," news release USDL-11-1376 (HTML) (PDF). Multifactor productivity growth measures the extent to which output has grown faster than measured inputs and reflects the joint influences on economic growth of a number of factors, including technological change, returns to scale, improved skills of the workforce, better management techniques, or other efficiency improvements.

U.S. Congresswoman Corrine Brown gradulates the University of Florida Gatas on their third national tyla, second tyla under Corch Irvin Meyers. This is what she had intended to say: I rise today to congratulate my University of Florida football team for winning their second NCAA BCS Championship bowl game in the last three seasons. Go Gators! I want to congratulate the University of Florida not only for being a great academic school but also one of the best athletic schools in the country. In their 24-14 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, they displayed great teamwork and sportsmanship while fielding the best defense I've ever seen. They held the highest scoring offense in the country to just 14 points! The Gators proved that the University of Florida's season was no fluke and that the Florida Gators are a championship team that made history. Congratulations to their great players and outstanding coach, Urban Meyer, for coaching a remarkable group of guys! Let's do a quick fact check: The Gators have won their second national championship in the past three years and the third in the school's history. Florida is the fourth school in the modern era to win two outright national titles in a three year period. Florida finished the 2008 season with a 13-1 record, matching the single-season school record for wins. Tim Tebow became the fifth player since 1950 to win a Heisman Trophy and two national championships. The win makes Urban Meyer the fifth active coach with multiple national titles and the fifth coach since the AP Poll began in 1936 to win two national championships in his first four seasons at a school. Tim Tebow, Florida's leader and quarterback, not only ran for 109 yards but also completed 18 of 30 passes for 231 yards. He was flawless in the fourth quarter alone, when it mattered the most and the pressure was on. Percy Harvin, whose gutsy play won him the game ball, came back from an ankle injury and dashed for 122 yards on only nine carries. It was his 52-yard run down the stretch that set up Jonathan Phillips' 27-yard field goal early in the quarter for a 17-14 lead, which the Gators never lost. And they never looked back! There has been some discussion in this body about having a national championship playoff. Let me be clear: we've had a playoff! The Gators played in the best conference in the country and emerged victorious. And I hate to say it, but everything is just not all equal. We want to encourage all of our kids to participate in sports and activities because we know that it builds character. But it is clear that the Gators are superb to any other schools in the country and in the conference that we play in. In closing, I want to leave you with the Gator chant that I just love: "One, two, three, four, five, them there Gators don't take no jive!"

Very Disappointed
By Puellita
from San Diego, CA
I'm a long time Levenger devotee and ordered to carry in my purse for on-the-go notes. I love my full size tru writers and was excited to see the "mini" online. Upon receipt, leather was cheap looking and construction seemed not up to Levenger quality standard. Pen was very disappointing with cap that doesn't secure. Pad very small and paper was again not up to expected Levenger standard. I would not recommend.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for your detailed review. I know how the size of the Swifnotes collection can seem small; we do offer larger 3x5 size leather covers with 3x5 cards. One item is our International Pocket Briefcase.I have also submitted your suggestions to our Product Development and Design Team for further review and consideration. Please contact us at 1-800-545-0242 and we will be happy to discuss some options to make it right for you.

Best ever notepad
By MNMan
from St. Paul MN
This is the best ever notepad that I have used. Will easily fit in either shirt or pants pockets. Hard enough surface that a person does not have to worry about the writing surface. Great for taking notes while talking in a people about geneology information and keeping one person seperate from another
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
