By Chris Devine at Emirates Old Trafford
Lancashire Lightning took a giant step towards the Friends Life t20 quarter-finals with an eight-wicket thrashing of Roses rivals Yorkshire Vikings.
A combination of canny bowling and tigerish fielding - highlighted by Steven Croft's sensational diving catch at long-on to account for Gary Ballance - restricted Yorkshire to a modest 124 for eight after Azeem Rafiq had chosen to bat.
That total proved well within the reach of the Lightning, who stormed home with nine overs unused on the back of a powerful opening stand of 88 between Stephen Moore and Tom Smith.
The latter contributed 42 off 22 deliveries and Moore - responsible for 37 of his team's first 39 runs - finished unbeaten on 66 from 35, having finished the contest in fitting fashion with a straight six.
Lancashire now top the North Group and will qualify for the last eight on Friday should Derbyshire Falcons fail to overcome Leicestershire Foxes. Even if Derbyshire do prevail, Peter Moores' men can guarantee their progression by avoiding defeat against Notts Outlaws on Sunday.
The margin of this win - which provided a stark contrast to the tied reverse fixture at Headingley - means Lancashire could well progress even if they are beaten in their final group game, given their impressive net run-rate.
Yorkshire's total this evening was soon exposed as inadequate when Moore got the home reply off to a flying start.
Punishing on the pull and similarly strong when advancing to hit through cover, the opener dominated the first four overs and then saw partner Smith get in on the act with two boundaries off Adil Rashid - a reverse-swept four and glorious straight six.
There was further carnage to come, Smith swinging Liam Plunkett's first delivery - in an over costing 17 - high into the top tier of the stand at wide long-on before collecting another maximum off Rashid.
By the time Smith was stumped off Rafiq the game was over as a contest, although Adam Lyth produced a catch to rival Croft's when diving to his left at cover to complete a one-handed grab that sent Ashwell Prince back for a second-ball duck.
The loss of two wickets in quick succession did nothing to slow Lancashire's progress and Moore's winning blow - a crisp strike down the ground off Jack Leaning - represented an astonishing 22nd boundary for the hosts in 11 overs.
Yorkshire were never able to get going with the bat as the home fielders backed up their attack with tremendous energy and athleticism.
Simon Kerrigan, who received his county cap prior to the start of play, accepted catches in the off-side ring to account for Joe Sayers and Dan Hodgson in a powerplay that brought just 23 runs.
The introduction of spin initially proved expensive, Lyth and Gary Ballance combining to strike 30 in three overs.
Yet Lancashire were soon back in the ascendancy as Lyth, on 32, paddled a slower ball to short fine-leg and became Smith's second victim.
Having been beaten by the previous delivery, Leaning fell for four when dragging a short ball from Kerrigan onto his stumps from outside off.
Rashid injected much-needed impetus with two sixes only to depart following a mix-up between the wickets, while Ballance fell victim to Croft's tremendous take off Arron Lilley, which saw the fielder dive forward to claim the ball inches from the turf.
Mitchell McClenaghan, who returned 2-19 to trump Smith's 2-21, accounted for Plunkett and Rafiq was run out attempting to steal a bye as runs remained hard to come by in the closing overs of Yorkshire's innings.

Gwen Morgan, lead physical therapist for Northwest Sports Medicine Center, clarified comments he made for a Tuesday Lifestyles story about physical therapy and student athlete injuries.
Morgan said shinsplints are overuse injuries, however he doesn't believe the incidence of shinsplints in young athletes is on the rise. The center treats many injuries that are related, instead, to growth spurts and not to overuse, Morgan said.

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post
Packers fans: Are you suited for reality TV?
Reality TV fans may be getting a dose of Wisconsin culture soon with a show focused on Wisconsin's faithful football fans. Apparently producers from the Style Network were in Green Bay on Friday looking for the most vivacious Cheeseheads to cast for a pilot to be filmed by the end of the year.
Packers wives are currently featured in "The Better Half" on WLUK-TV (Channel 11) in five Wisconsin TV markets, but the NBCUniversal-owned Style Network would bring Packer pride to a cable TV audience on the heels of shows like "Jerseylicious" and "Big Rich Texas." »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Vick's Indictment: What You Can Do
The PETA offices have been in overdrive since last night responding to Michael Vick's recent indictment for dogfighting. The vague statement released by the Atlanta Falcons about this disturbing news is simply not sufficient. This morning, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, civil rights leader The Rev. Al Sharpton, and PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk sent a letter to all of Vick's corporate sponsors, Falcons CEO Arthur Blank, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell roundly condemning dogfighting and other forms of violence. You can read that letter here. We are also calling on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to immediately suspend Michael Vick in light of this indictment. According to Deadspin the indictment includes the following allegations, which highlight exactly how reprehensible this vicious blood sport is:
- "In March 2003, PEACE, after consulting with Vick about the female pit bull's condition, executed the losing dog by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal."
- "In April 2007, PEACE, PHILLIPS and VICK executed approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in 'testing' sessions by various methods, including hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."
Please click here to contact Roger Goodell about this news and ask him to immediately take action. We're doing everything we can to ensure that the news of Vick's alleged involvement in this horrific cruelty is not swept under the rug. I can only hope that the high profile nature of Michael Vick's case helps to shed light on an epidemic that, too often, is not treated with enough gravity by law-enforcement officials, and that needs to be stamped out immediately.
Commenting is closed.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man." Mahatma Gandhi
I haven't followed too much of any of this news. Its all so very disturbing that people do this sort of thing and sadly with celebrity justice as its coming to be in this divided world of rights and wrongs these people can lie or just write a check and everything is okay. I will support the boycotts of Coke Airtran Nike Kraft AND the NFL until Vick is fired prosecuted and put in jail without the benefits of all his money….the money should go to the SPCA to help other animals who are at the mercy of all these sick people….no matter what color they are. Money buys their way out of many many scrapes…..ask Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears and Lindsey Lohan……these are also sick examples of bad Stardom effects. Let the common person do these sort of things and get away with it…the people who stand to gain by these people don't want to lose the money these pathetic excuses for people….its a NO BRAINER. Their only "confusion" is that they are going to lose a lot of money by firing Michael Vick. Thats THEIR main concern for SURE. There is definately a dominoe effect of losses involved here and they just don't know where to turn or what will cost them the most money for the decisions they will have to make…its ALL ABOUT THE MIGHTY BUCK….they are ALL pathetic as far as I am concerned. I'm seen and heard so much crap about the different rules all these celebrities live by..its disgusting. I hope all the right decisions are made and without any further delay. This man should have a hard time finding a decent lawyer…but where could one of those be? I suppose Vick will be paying a scumbag lawyer to play the racecard….we all know how THAT works.
Hi Frank Thanks for responding to my post. I understand where you're coming from in regards to the animal cruelty inherent in Mr. Vick's crimes versus that in factories etc. that "process" animals into food and other products. They are both horrible types of animal abuse and in both situations the animals suffer greatly due to man's indifference to their pain. I've tried to do my share in helping improve the situation for the multitude of animals that are being severely neglected and abused by the companies who use them in their manufactured products. The companies that keep their inhumane policies lack a conscience and are driven solely by money. Though this situation is horrid and the animals suffer greatly I still feel that the crimes committed by Mr. Vick and his buddies are just inherently worse since the animals were being tortured and killed just for the pleasure and enjoyment of this sadistic and evil man.
Jillian good for you for taking the compassionate route of vegetarianism. Personally though I'm as close to being a vegan as anyone I know I know that I have room for improvement. I keep reminding myself and those around me of that. I appreciate that the Vick critics around me have the capacity for compassion. And any publicity that gets animal rights the attention it deserves is a good thing. I guess I'm saying that it's one thing to take issue with a blatant case of animal cruelty but quite another to make a single change in one's own consuming patterns in the name of humane animal treatment. Right or wrong I get judgmental that way. Regardless I still feel that the accounts of animal suffering in factory farms due to the need for faster and less expensive production are just as horrible as the evil deeds of Vick those like him… even if the ultimate demand comes from a practical or monetary place. Maybe that's just my opinion.
Frank Therrien First off I'm a vegetarian since I do care about and think of the suffering of other creatures. Secondly the "harsher atrocities" that you write of are really not as horrid as the alleged crimes of Mr. Vick since these acts the use of animals for food and products etc. that you write of are done for practical or monetary reasons rather than just for the sadistic pleasure and enjoyment of evil humans which the worst of Mr. Vicks crimes were.
As repulsed as I am at the Vick situation and as glad I as I am whenever dog fighting or any other form of cruelty to naturally innocent creatures animals and people alike I find it ironic that so many good people can have a problem with this one issue yet not look in at their own actions or lack thereof which often result in even harsher attrocieites being visited on other innocent creatures every day. Those leather seats we need not a harmless byproduct if don't consume the suffering bovine that gave it up that circus you take your kids to so they can "appreciate" animals "rescued" from their natural habitats? the chicken sandwich you eat for which impossibly fastpaced production "needs" have eliminated any modicum of humane treatment… so few of us have any idea of how much pain and anguish we can visit on peaceful animals in order to satisfy the wants we feel we so richly deserve filling. We're people after all. Highest on the food chain. So ordained by God. I wish I could claim to be innocent of all suffering to which I contribute not just animals child labor unfair trade your grandchildren's environment. I can only strive to keep myself aware and cast with conscience my votes in dollars and actions. Let's keep our collective eye on the big picture.
The guy is a typical representative of the low life that makes it big with sports. Look at how many black stars commit all kinds of crimes. This guy's behavior should not be a surprise. I guess he can go down to Florida take up golf and hang out with OJ. They can walk the green while bitching how their persecutions were a racist thing. It's a good day when this low life dumb sheet got busted. Would have only been a matter of time before he killed his girlfriend or business partner.
OMG micheal vick i just have 1 thing to say to you…i hope you burn in hell and rot and jail for the rest of your lifeu dont deserve to survive. ii really dont give a crap if ur a famouse football player or not to me ur nothing but a scum bag..sooo go die.
trow him out forever he is an assessin!!!!!!!!!! The end of his career. should be now. We know he is guilty!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a guilty conviction in this case? No there is not so get over yourselves stop using this as a propaganda stunt for your political cause. Boycotting Nike the NFL whatever is worthless without his guilt being proven in the court of law. The court of public opinion is extremely ignorant in this case. The PETA organization and others are going to look like a bunch of fools more so than they already do if for some reason he is found not guilty. You people really need to learn something about the American Legal system and realize an indictment is different than a conviction.
This is the stupidest legal case I have ever heard of. I have heard things like even if he does get put in jail he will be able to post bail and all that. He needs to get thrown into prison for life without parol. Why would you even think about letting this guy out with bail? All the money in the worl couldnt bring these dogs back or heal them so why even give him a chance and getting out? He's not going to change and more dogs are going to go through this same torchering and deaths.
Was it okay to hear an abused PittBull Because you thinked she deserved it! She didn't deserve it!
Vick?? I hope they hang the S.O.B. or better yet I pray a linebacker breaks his F neck right on national TV just like watching dogs fight in a pen right? That should screw up six solid seasons for those supportive morons and "Disgusted Fans". These same people probably agree that dog fighting should be legal. I'm a dog lover have a Pit Bull who is a great gentle and loving family pet and hope all those that harm these poor mistreated animals find their just rewards in one life or another. P.S. I am also a huge football fan but I refuse to attend or watch any Falcon games as long as Vick is playing.
Vick is a discrace. What kind of man tortures innocent animals for his own prosperity. I hope he is procecuted and ends up in the poor house. The only way to hurt Vick is his pocketbook. He probobly carries a purse!
i am tired of people reffering to the falcons organazation like they know what happen if they knew don't you think the jugde would know. Come on how dumb are you peta people. i know you might not put this on like the rest of the comment i left but it time someone stood up to peta. I hope when vick is found not guilty who sue peta for every dollar this sickening organazation own. acting like they want to help dogs don't just help dogs help deers quails turkey and the rest of the animals you peta make me sick
how culd he!! those pour lil dogs there living animals!!! i say you put him in a cage of angry pitbulls!!!!
i find it distrubing to read your comments. your sayin he's disturbed this that and the other but read what your writing…electricute him dont let him se day light again give him the same treatment as the dogs. when you guys live perfect lives and never commit a crime or break the law whether your caught or not then you have the right to judge another person..
I agree that if he's guilty of the charges in the indictment that Vick and his people should rot in jail. As a dog owner and pet lover that is the only justice that would satisfy me. However what if Vick is found to be innocent of the charges? What then? What if his supposed "buddies" have rolled over to save their butts from jail time? Many questions must be answered but I say let justice have its course. Peta and pet lovers around the country should wait before attacking this person. If he is innocent then Peta will certainly have to answer for its actions. That kind of "egg on their face" is not what is needed for the awareness of dog torture. Peta needs to use this to educate america. The attacking of individuals without facts or just with allegations will further alienate Peta as a headhunting self promoting organization. Peta please EDUCATE!!!
Perhaps this is unfair but I hope they make an example of Vick. 6 years and $350000 is nothing compared to the amount of suffering he has inflicted on innocent defenseless creatures. How will that deter others from doing what he has done? It's a mere slap on the wrist. He'll probably do 2 years come out of jail with an even darker soul and take it out on more innocent dogs. Give him life in prison!! Take all his money away and give it to PETA!
Who cares about those stupid dogs? I don't. Are a breed of dogs that are considered dangerous worth a season? I don't think so.
This is a disgusting horrific revolting repulsive sickening ghastly sordid horrible nauseating thing. Something MUST BE DONE! This man should never EVER earn the respect of anyone ever again I don't care how well he can play a game of ball…if they let vick back on the field it just shows that those people only care about revenue. It makes me want to puke! Everyone has said it right he and all of his sick buddies should get the same treatment as those poor poor innocent dogs. They are SICK SICK SICK beings they can't be human. I hope something is done quickly to stop this from happening EVERYWHERE!
Well any company that would try to promote their product with an ass like this doesn't want me or my friends for customers ! This clown his buddies need to do HARD TIME lose the possessions they paid for with money earned at the expense of these poor mistreated dogs. I agree with the others who want to put them in a pen with the dogs they treated so horribly ! And Mitch your an ass. Thank you for this opportunity. Peta Rules !
Just posting this here too… Hey all at PETA from a teacher artist and animal lover in Chicago Great work on bringing this despicable practice to the public's attention. Riding on this wave of current public scrutiny and probably newfound awareness for many all over the country now would be the perfect time to put our Mayor Daley of Chicago on high alert for not doing enough to prevent dogfighting from happening in Chicago's neighborhoods. He would rather just bombard our neighborhoods with cops and not put any effort toward prevention. This is all tied in with gangs so of course it is a farreaching multileveled issue but one step at a time. In my mind all of it is an emergency. At an early age kids here are misled for many reasons definitely in part by people whom the kids look up to as surrogate parent figures and whom they consider "heroes" such as Vick into thinking that this is what a pitbull is created for. As standard policy of the city shelter pitbulls are considered immediately unadoptable and are euthanized no matter their good health or temperament. Of course we all know differently about these outstanding dogs. Sure Mayor Daley has a thing for foie gras and has not proven to be the most sensitive person of influence for the animals' cause. But if he were to ignore your very public outreach to him in the midst of this heightened attention to dogfighting he would be seen as not only abandoning an amazing breed which would definitely succeed in bringing most of Chicago to action but also our kids. Kids here are recruited for gangs in elementary school. Mayor Daley would definitely face public pressure because it would be as though he were abandoning our kids in the process. Violence is a citywide issue in Chicago and the pitbulls and kids get the brunt of the abuse first. The connection between helping kids by helping pitbulls is another way that can be used that will further the cause for the pitbulls used for dogfighting. Please think about it and thanks again.
You don't have to be a Fortuneteller to predict Vicks future. I cannot understand how the sponsors and NFL cannot decide what to do with him. He will be in court this fall so how can he play football anyway. Vick will probably be found guilty because of the evidence against him and go to prison. What will the NFL gain by not letting him go now. They have to think of not just the Falcon players but all the NFL Teams. The sponsors should wake up to who is selling their product consumers are smart and these are different times they also want large corporations to show humanitarian concerns. NFL Management use common sense what are you waiting for to go down with a sinking ship.
Tit for Tat. He should be treated just as he treats his dogs. Since he can defend himself more then his dogs can I say hog tie him cover him in fresh raw ground beef..organic please so we don't poision the dogs then throw him a pen of starving angry pit bulls…his own pit bulls. Let them take their revenge and get a decent meal at the same time. He should be dropped from all his contracts that pay him money he should be kicked out of the NFL league. He should be locked in jail for a long time and be your average low paid joe upon exit.
I'm working on compiling a list of email addresses for those companies.. There is also a lasik provider that advertises on the Falcons site too.. I believe Coke is a Falcons sponsor as well. Rawlings and Ea Sports.
FYI Home Depot is a publicly traded company and while Mr. Blank was a founder and has a significant amount of shares he does not own the company does not work there and is not on the Board. So boycotting HD bc of Vick is useless. I know I use to work at the HQ.
I hate dogs. Get over it they are just food. Vick still sucks.
In light of yesterdays events I think the NFL is acting in a correct manner. Vick will not be at training camp as per the commish. Protesting that Falcons camp isn't fair to the players who are not involved. Many which are pet owners and trying to make a living.
You can make a statement drop this THUG you do not neet tis type of person aderviseing your Co. products. You will lose more money by not doing anything than you will gain by by keeping him on your pay roll.Is this the type person you want anything to do with?
How sad if this guy really is guilty I hope he gets the MAXIMUM punishment and if not removed suspended from the NFL.
It is a shame that hearing animals being tortured doesn't bother Michael Vic and his friends. It calls for a pysch eval. As for his sponsors from a business stand point they'd be smart to pull his endorsements. I do believe that he should be fined. However putting him in jail for six years seems harsh. He shouldn't be able to own any pets and if caught with a dog then he's breaking the law. For all those people who brought race into this issue you should feel ashamed. This shouldn't have to be a race war. This is a war against inhumane idocy and the rest of us.
I say we attach jumper cables to his balls if he has any and give him a jump start! And we should get the Falcons CEO to do the honors. Who the hell is PEACE anyway? PEACE of shit hey..goes well together ! And you guys arguing with each other on these blogs cool it. It's retarded.
Let us please stick to the issue at hand on here instead of sharing our racial prejudices. Every intelligent human being knows that it will only divide us. That being said no matter who did something this horrible deserves public comtempt and a jail time. Mike Vick is an ignorant barberic scumbag whose place is in jail and who should not be making millions playing pro football. There are PLENTY of talented young players from underpriviledged backgrounds who will gladly take his place.
I don't care if Vick hasn't been found guilty yet you don't get this far with an Indictment on charges like these if you're innocent. He is a scumbag of the highest order. Filth like him not only do not belong in the public eye but should be put to death the same way that he has tortured so many innocent animals. I wish someone work put him on antibiotics after he'd been mauled and keep him alive for as long as possible while he suffers.
I would just like to make a comment regarding Jada and Cal. You two are just about as ignorant as Vick himself!!!! Many diffrent breeds of dogs attack children. NOT JUST THE PIT but because of the people who have involved this breed in dog fighting they have been branded as the worst breed. Cal since you seen to believe all of us white folks should get on to what you call our pappy for owning one of your ancestors think about this. I live in Houston..Statistics show that the majority of our crimes are commited by blacks so maybe Jada would agree…since the Pit has a bad reputation for being the breed to attcks the most and she seems to believe that they should be banned…Y shouldn't we do the same with humans. Sounds a bit harsh doesn't it. These animals know nothing other than what the taught just like our kids. It is disgusting to me to know that people like you still have a voice and choose to poison others with your IGNORANCE and that the NFL NIKE COKE KRAFT ETC seem to forget that these animals could have had a chance at decent life until the were tortured by what they seem to think is their money maker.I WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO BE SURE I GET MY MESSAGE ACROSS and I hope that any human with a heart will do the same. We can not allow of children to think this behavior is acceptable and to let others know that it will not be tolerated.
Is everyone so wrapped up in the media bitz that we have forgotten what our judicial system means? Have we forgotton "innocent until proven guilty"? I don't see this much uproar of HUMANS dying in IRAQ!!! If he is guilty let the judicial system find him guilty.
Once found guilty which I've heard the fed gov't has a 98 conviction rate he'll go to prison where he can suffer some of the very same treatment that he dealt on these poor defenseless animals. What goes around comes back around with a vengence. Also his status as a celebrity although somewhat questionable has brought a spotlight on this horrible deplorable behavior that might not have happened otherwise. There is some positive even in the worst of situations. Also his life and career are forever ruined for all practical purposes.
Let's not convict Vic without proof BUT let's focus on stopping this terrible "sport". I am appalled that anyone ANYONE would ever think that having animals attack each other and fight to the death is entertainment. I almost threw up at the photos those poor animals and all that unnecessary suffering is what we need to focus on. Let's do what it takes stiffer laws and boycotting the Falcons if Vic is guilty put our money and efforts where it counts!
If we all cared as much about animals as we do about calling each other names and materialistic things this world would be a better place. The color of someones skin should not matter… it is what's inside that should. We should respect all living things and treat these lives as you would treat yourselfor your loved ones. I have adopted 4 dogs from abusive situations and let me tell you it is the best feeling in the world to care for an animal and the unconditional love they give in return ! My hope is that we can truly have PEACE in this world … by loving each other and all animals !
Stop fighting each other and get back to hitting Vick where it will effectively hurt him the mostthe wallet. Whether he has already been dropped from contract or not craft a wellwritten note and send it to the following companies to let them know we will never tolerate this behavior! Nike Kraft Sprint Motorola Wendy's Home Depot Verizon Wireless Ford Delta AtT Cingular
To TIFFNEY POST072007 AND I HOPE YOU READ THIS!!!! WHAT EVER YOU MAY THINK ABOUT THIS ISSUE IS FINE BUT DONT YOUR EVERY SAY THE N WORD AGAIN AND SAY THAT THEY SHOULD HANG SOMEONE MAKEING THOSE COMMENTS WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU SHOWING YOURSELF TO BE!! YOUR JUST AS BAD AS THE PEOPLE THAT HURT THOSE DOGS IF ITS VICK OR NOT I DONT CARE IF YOUR BLACK OR WHITE DONT SAY IT AGAIN. THAT IS RACISM PLAN AND SIMPLE AND IM NOT PLAYING THE RACE CARD IN ANY OF THIS GROW UP!!
People who are going to boycott Home Depot I dont believe he owns that anymore so you would be boycotting a business that has nothing to do with blank anymore why dont you just boycott vick and not other people lively hood crazy!! i cant say it enough
Dogs are loving animals. Understanding that dogs will die for their owners it saddens me to see that pitbulls have been trained to fight and will die for the approval of their owners. It really makes me sick to my stomach thinking about their suffering for the entertainment and financial profitting of people. It is important to note that innocent people are also being mauled by pitbulls that have been trained to fight. I was watching the LA News a few weeks ago and a teenage girl was mauled by a pitbill. The news journalist found a house across the street from the mauling location with many caged pitbulls. The owner of the house denied the ownership of the pitbull who mauled the young girl but my question would be why would numerous pitbulls be caged? Were they being trained to fight and one accidently got out? I never heard any information following whether if the owner of the caged pitbulls was the owner of the pitbull that mauled the young girl. I also have a cousin that was mauled by a pitbull. It is so sad that these dogs are bred and trained to fight.
WTF!…….don't you fanatical folks have nuttin better todo?? Most of ya'll white folks eat at my restaurant…lol. If ya ever have the Testicular fortitude to step to a Rapper i'll bet your coffin will be waiting after you jus tried to spray paint his Blue Mink!…..Big up Michael Vick!……The Irish Immigrants brought Dog Fighting over here Stupid! Do your fucking homework the next time you wanna go after my AfricanAmerican Patrons!…….Thank you and i'll see ya later
Only a moron would consider the thought that animal abuse is racial. Vick is just another pervert and lowlife with money that thinks he can do anything he wants because he has money. Perhaps it is a southern thing the blacks here in Louisiana particularily New Orleans kill their brothers in the streets like Vick and his thugs killed and fought the dogs. No conscience no heartempty shells with no brains.
What has this sad sad world come to that it could procuce a socalled human being that would do this to innocent helpless animals? It is things like this that make it difficult to have faith in a higher power. Don't you agree?
one of the best posts i've read on this awful practice and the cruel people that participate in it is…hey vick karma accumulates…woof. as has been mentioned before we should all boycott home depot until blank changes his mind on getting rid of vick. these people obviously don't care about animals they will only listen to the all mighty dollar.
GREG 72007 We ALL have a right to freedom of speech and freedom to protest but until you fully educate yourself on animal advocacy the humananimal relationship then your comments are uneducated and worthless. Therefore that is reason why it makes it so easy for you to casually toss around the word by calling us "terrorists." The fact is the atrocities occured in HIS OWN BACKYARD. Positive proof EVIDENCE was enough for HIS indictment. So it can be said that you are more so inclined to side with a manical "terrorist" who is a threat to a civilized society since obviously you don't have a problem with HIS bizarre behavior thus far that gave legal reason to initiate HIS indictment. Do you think for one moment that these types of people stop at animals? Think again. The majority of murderers are in prison because they initially gained a bloodlust for torturing and killing animals. Now that is what can truly be called "sick." Try to convince us that he had no clue what was going on in HIS own backyard.

I swore I was going to keep my mouth shut on this, but I keep getting emails from people along the lines of "if you don't say it, who will?"
Yeah, I guess I have become that guy.
I am afraid Sarah Palin is going to harm herself unintentionally over this tea party convention in Nashville.
Full disclosure: I have asked several of the tea party organizations that, early on, I was supportive of to stop using my name and RedState's logo. I think the tea party movement has largely descended into ego and quest for purpose for individuals at the expense of what the tea party movement started out to be.
That's not to say it is in every case. I have much good to say about groups like Tea Party Patriots, but I think this national tea party convention smells scammy.
Let me be blunt: charging people $500.00 plus the costs of travel and lodging to go to a "National Tea Party Convention" run by a for profit group no one has ever heard of sounds as credible as an email from Nigeria promising me a million bucks if I fork over my bank account number.
I am led to believe a number of the sponsors who lent their names early on have grown wary of the event. That lines up with what I am hearing.
The tea party movement was always about the unorganized masses of concerned, passionate Americans uniting together with a common voice to protest the direction of the country. From that passion, others have sought to make money off the tea party movement. Some have done it for good. Many have not. And more and more we are seeing some people rise up to claim the mantle of "leader" of the tea party movement. Many of us who have been around for a while just want to know who the heck these so called leaders are.
The tea party "leaders", if there are any, are actively at work in their home towns changing things one letter to the editor, one contribution to a candidate, and one protest at a time. They are not on bus tours profiting off the hard work and sometimes the names of others (some also on the bus with no pay) headed to Nashville licking their lips at the $500.00 per person payments coming in to their for profit company.
Sarah Palin is certainly giving the National Tea Party Convention legitimacy. But at what cost? I am fearful this thing will blow up and harm her. I am more fearful that a bunch of well meaning people from across the nation are going to show up, expect more, and then grow disaffected or burn out when the deliverables they expect do not come in.
I hope I am wrong about all of this. I could be. But something tells me I am right. And because no one else will say it, I will — I think Sarah Palin got some bad advice and probably should have done more due diligence. Your mileage may vary.

Why Medicare Advantage?
To really understand the advantages of Medicare Advantage, let's take a look at your options for Medicare Coverage.
Let's start with Original Medicare. This includes your Part A Hospital Insurance and your Part B Medical Insurance. Original Medicare gives you good coverage, but there are deductibles to meet for both Part A and Part B. Once you meet those deductibles, Medicare generally pays 80% of the cost, leaving you with the remaining 20%.
You can add a Medicare Supplement Plan to help pay for what Original Medicare doesn't cover. These plans may not provide any more benefits than Original Medicare, and the premiums can cost thousands of dollars each year.
If you want coverage for your prescription drugs, you'll need to also add a Part D Prescription Drug Plan, and there is most likely a separate premium you must pay.
If you want all of this coverage, you'll have three separate plans, three ID cards and in many cases, three different monthly premiums.
Want a simpler option? Choose a Medicare Advantage Plan!
Medicare Advantage Plans ("Medicare Part C") are health plans approved by Medicare and run by private companies like ConnectiCare. They're an attractive option for your Medicare coverage because they may save you money, offer added benefits and services, and keep all of your coverage in a single health plan.
Medicare Advantage Plans include both your Part A Hospital Insurance, Part B Medical Insurance and, in many cases, your Part D Prescription Drug Coverage. You may also enjoy added benefits, like routine services and wellness programs.
The chart below displays your Medicare plan options at work.
Column I shows how you can add to your Original Medicare plan with a Part D Prescription Drug Plan and a Medicare Supplement Plan.
Column II shows how a Medicare Advantage Plan, which ConnectiCare offers, simplifies your Medicare coverage.

They're dead… they're all dead…
You awake as if from a dream. Images flash before your eyes, splinters in your mind, unclear, inaccessible, but for a few fragments..
A space battle above Iridis Alpha… the black void bursting with colour from laser blasts and forceful explosions… a fierce ground assault on the planet below...
And your squad… all dead… because of you...
Then nothingness…
Until now.
You awake in a medical facility, tubes running from machinery keeping you alive.
One nurse is your guide on your journey back from the brink of death. She tends to your wounds to rebuild you, for the sake of the Cine people in this long, bitter war against the Allegiance…
Before you can once again fly into the fray, she helps you regain the skills you lost to amnesia...
Step by step she restores you to your former war-hero glory, as you regain your laser sword skills against flying drones; manoeuvre through asteroid fields in your starship; use your mind as a weapon and increase your telekinetic power…
Each stage provides a challenge, and when you're ready, you'll be sent on your final most perilous mission: to return to Iridis Alpha and recover the Star Serum!
In the hands of the enemy it can be used as a terrible weapon. In your hands, it can lead to immortality...
This is your last chance for vengeance. This is your last chance for VICTORY!

D. a stay at home mum who worked as a Speech Pathologist in her past life. Her 2 beautiful girls and little boy add laughter and spice to every day, and she never wants to go back to "work". Her business card now states that she is a 'domestic resources coordinator' . She isn't sure that she should have written that down on the last jury duty form, but it is too late now.....
She loves making anything, from clothes (both sewn and knitted) to leather masks and of course toys for all the children in her life.
In her humble opinion there is never enough hours in the day for craft and far too many for housework. :)

Never smile at a crocodile!
Create your own grumpy, hand sewn Australian Crocodile or Alligator Mask. Soft felt sits comfortably and looks great. Elastic band at the back for a comfortable, multi-size fit. Great for make believe and dress up fun. Make your own for under $10! Cheap and quick gift idea.
When you purchase this pattern, you will receive 9 pages of PDF.
Your PDF contains: 2 pattern pages and 7 pages of tutorial with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and colour photos for every stage of the creation process.
Difficulty Rating: Little Bit Tricky (Intermediate). If your idea of fixing the hem on a garment is to tape it up rather than sew it, this is definitely NOT the project for you. If the idea of curvy darts, lots of little pieces of felt and a project that doesn't sew up in 2 hours appeals, then have a go at this one! !
Diagrams of how to do stitches are also included in the pattern for those of us who regularly think, "Now back stitch..... Which one is that?"

IT'S FUNNY the lengths to which some folks will go to try to convince you that this Phillies team has a legitimate shot at contending for a World Series this season. They will point to the 2011 Cardinals, or the 2007 Rockies, or the 2005 Astros, when all they really need to do is point to a few seasons ago, when the 2010 Phillies were two games over .500 and seven games behind the division lead on July 21. They finished the season on a 48-19 tear and rolled into the postseason with 97 wins and homefield advantage.
Perhaps people ignore that comparison because it is too familiar, and even those who think Ruben Amaro Jr. should push the rest of his dwindling chip stack into the pot before July 31 are not pathological enough to think that this year's version of the Phillies belongs anywhere close to a conversation about that 2010 squad. Hell, it's pretty much the same team, except 3 years older, and without Roy Halladay, Jayson Werth, Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard, and with a bullpen that is leaking oil like somebody replaced its spark pPlugs with firecrackers.

Famed as Andropov's Pen Pal, Samantha Smith Appears Again—as Robert Wagner's Co-Star
Samantha came to Bloodworth's attention early this year when the writer's brother-in-law spotted the effervescent preteen on a talk show and suggested she might be perfect for the part of the daughter, Elizabeth. Blood-worth describes Elizabeth as "an old-fashioned kind of girl, nothing Cyndi Lauperish, who is polite, well-read and aware of something in the world besides MTV."
Though Samantha may be thought of as a precocious world traveler, she is still a giggly seventh-grader. When Hollywood called she was happily back in Manchester (pop: 2,000) with her parents, classmates puppies and "terranium—I mean terrarium" of 20 mice. The prospect of acting sounded interesting enough to put her dreams of becoming a veterinarian on hold. Along with her father, Arthur, 44, a former English instructor who'd quit his job two years ago at the University of Maine to accompany Samantha to the Soviet Union, she flew to Hollywood for the audition—and instantly got the part. Bloodworth says Samantha's reading before 20 of ABC's top brass—a difficult scene in which she discusses her first period—was flawless: "She never missed a line and was never nervous," recalls Bloodworth. "The head of casting said she was 'magnificent, another Margaret O'Brien. A total natural.' "
Samantha has acted only once before—on an episode of Charles in Charge last fall—but has taken easily to her job. If she flubs a line, she grins a second, presses a hand to her face, then does another take—and usually does it perfectly. Initial scenes for the pilot were shot in Washington, D.C. and Virginia. Then Samantha and her mother, Jane, 40, an administrator in Maine's Department of Human Services, settled into a hotel in Los Angeles while filming was being completed.
Smith and her parents will return to shoot the series in August, but Samantha already feels right at home in Hollywood—having hit the LaBrea Tar Pits, Disneyland and shops in Beverly Hills. She is chummy with co-stars Lew Ayres, 76, and Wagner, 55, whom she calls by his nickname, "R.J." There were a few diplomatic gaffes at first. During a TV interview she described Wagner (whom she had never seen on Hart to Hart because it was past her bedtime) as "homely" when she really meant "homey." Wagner, who lightly shrugged off Samantha's apology with a gentle "that's okay," has become a solid supporter, praising Smith's naturalness. "There's nothing contrived about her," he says.
Though Smith is looking forward to living in Los Angeles, she has mixed feelings about being away from her Maine home. "It seems like every time there's a dance or a party I've been looking forward to," she laments, "I have to be away." But there have been compensations as well, like getting a sophisticated "new look." Says Samantha, parting the soft, blown-dry, curled coif she now prefers to the "terrible" ponytailed style she wore to Russia, "I got a little more 'with it' by coming to California."
Nor has Smith forgotten her Soviet adventure. Though she didn't meet Andropov personally (he was ailing), she brought back several gifts from him (including a samovar and a tea service) and memories of meeting Russian youngsters whom she described as "very outgoing, very forward. They didn't ask a lot of questions about America," she says. "It was more like, 'What would you like to do today?' "
Smith has yet to write a letter to Gorbachev, although she says she may, "as I get to know more about him." But don't get the impression Samantha considers herself an expert on world affairs.
