Aaron Rodgers wasn't exactly sure what his coach meant, but the Green Bay Packers quarterback didn't disagree with the assessment, either.
"He's in a good place," Packers coach Mike McCarthy had just said of Rodgers, who is prepping for his ninth NFL season and sixth as the team's starting quarterback. "I really like the camp he's having."
Mind, body, soul, wallet – it definitely is good to be Aaron Rodgers. Set to turn 30 in December, Rodgers believes he is in tip-top shape, his intellect and grasp of the offense have never been sharper, his role as the team's leader is unquestioned and as the NFL's highest-paid player after his five-year, $110 million contract extension in April, his employment future is set.
But what constitutes being in a good place?
"I don't know that. That's tough to determine," Rodgers said as he stood at his locker Wednesday, after practice and after McCarthy's comment. "I feel like I'm where I should be."
Rodgers then spoke of being the team's longest-tenured player (a title he assumed after wide receiver Donald Driver's retirement), of how he's seeing the game ("I'm playing fast, but my mind is slow, which is where you want to be"), and of how he's enjoying taking fewer snaps this camp as backups Graham Harrell, Vince Young and B.J. Coleman battle while he's on a pitch count.
Later, though, Rodgers spoke of the real reason he feels good – the "vibe" he's getting from his team.
"I'm having a blast, I really am. I love this group of guys," Rodgers explained. "I think it's a young group. It feels young, there's an influx of energy. We've seen a lot of guys fighting for positions, but a lot of guys stepping up and letting more of their personality out. I think when you can get to that comfort zone where you're playing really fast and playing well but also able to be yourself, it's just fun for everybody else. It's contagious."
Whether that vibe translates into greater success remains to be seen. After going from 8-6 with two weeks left in the 2010 regular season to making the playoffs as a wild card and winning Super Bowl XLV, the Packers have put together back-to-back NFC North division titles, going 15-1 in 2011 and 11-5 last season. But after dispiriting losses in the NFC Divisional Playoff round each year, those seasons ultimately felt empty to Rodgers.
According to offensive coordinator Tom Clements, Rodgers' quarterbacks coach from 2006 through 2011 and the person who knows him best in the building, that is fueling him.
"I think he's been a little more focused. If things aren't right with a particular play – the running back, the line, a receiver – he talks to them and tries to get everyone on the same page," Clements said. "He knows that the last couple years we had good seasons but they didn't end the way we'd want them to. And he's taking the approach that he's going to do everything he can to get us to where we want to go."
To get there, Rodgers acknowledged Wednesday that it might mean his own personal numbers will drop. After winning the NFL MVP award in 2011, his numbers were down slightly last year. While his quarterback rating was still the NFL's best (108.0), it did drop from his NFL-record 122.5 rating the year before. His touchdown passes dropped by six in one more regular-season start (39, down from 45) and his interception total went up (eight, from six). He still finished with more than 4,000 yards passing (4,295, eighth in the NFL), but his yards per attempt dipped from an NFL-high 9.25 yards in 2011 to only 7.78 last season.
Although Rodgers and the passing game figure to remain the focus, if the Packers' hopes of a more robust running game are realized, Rodgers could be more efficient in a more balanced offense. DuJuan Harris, who ended last season as the starter, and rookie second-round pick Eddie Lacy are the leading candidates to start at running back, but veteran James Starks has had a good camp and rookie fourth-round pick Johnathan Franklin looks like a viable third-down option.
"You know, one word we've talked about (this year) is sacrifice, sacrificing for the good of the team and putting the needs of the team in front of the needs of the self," Rodgers said. 'You look at the guys we've got in the backfield this year, it's probably the best running group we've had in my nine years as a whole. That could mean the (passing game) numbers might go down a little bit. But the most important thing, as we stress to the guys on offense, is about winning and playing well. If we can have a balanced attack this year, I think that means sustained, consistent play, and that's what we're looking for."
Rodgers has also had a lighter workload in camp this summer, and it's not only because of the competition for the backup job. McCarthy, Clements and quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo decided that in his ninth season, Rodgers needed to be monitored more closely in terms of throws and snaps.
"It's been a lot lighter, and I've appreciated it. Last year there were times where we took 60 out of 70 snaps in a practice, and that's tough for anybody, whether you're in Year 1 or Year 8," Rodgers said. "Now in (Year) 9, they've done a good job (of) putting their heads together and taking off some of the load on my arm, so my arm's been able to stay very fresh. My legs feel have felt really good. I came in in really good shape, probably the best shape I've been in since … maybe five years ago. So that feels good, it takes some load off my legs. I love football so I want to make sure I'm putting my best foot forward for these guys and lead them in the right way."
And that might be another area where Rodgers won't have to carry the load entirely. While the quarterback position and his longest-tenured status require him to provide leadership, Rodgers believes there are plenty of young, emerging leaders around him.
"You see other guys stepping up – (safety) Morgan Burnett, (guards) T.J. (Lang) and Josh (Sitton), (defensive tackle) B.J. Raji – I'm just one of those guys who has an important role on this team," Rodgers said. "As we all do, you've got to know your role and execute it well. And I'm trying to do that."

I've been repeating the same idea through all my previous reviews of LCD monitors on our site: one of the main disadvantages of currently manufactured LCD monitors is that each particular model lacks versatility. I mean a good CRT monitor is always good whatever you're doing with it (working with text, processing photographs, playing games and so on), whereas an LCD monitor that's suitable for games won't suit for handling photos, and one with an excellent color reproduction would be a bad choice for dynamic games.
Formally, latest LCD monitor models all seem to have technical parameters that allow using them in any area as the manufacturers claim viewing angles of 160 degrees, a contrast ratio of 500:1, a true representation of all 16 millions of colors that you want to see, and the gap between the specs of different models is seemingly negligible – well, can the average human eye, not equipped with measurement tools, tell the difference between the 160 viewing degrees of a good TN+Film matrix and the 170 degrees of a PVA, MVA or IPS matrix? However, theory and practice are more diverse in practice than they are in theory, and if you placed two monitors next to each other – say, one with a TN+Film matrix and another with an IPS one – you would easily see their parameters to be different visually, even if you've never worked with LCD panels before.
I'm not driving to say that the manufacturers deliberately overstate the characteristics of their devices, thus confusing the user (well, sometimes they do, but not too often). I say that it's a matter of perspective or what the manufacturers mean by a specific parameter and how they measure it.
Speaking generally, any measurement of any value should start with a precise definition of the measurement method and conditions and the applicability limits of the result. Without that, the measurement result makes no sense and has no practical worth.
Regrettably, many reviewers and testers, following the latest trend to get objective data rather than subjective impressions, forget this simple rule and fall a prey to two common mistakes: they either erroneously regard the number they've got (I say "number", but not "result" because a number can only become a result after all the above-said items are complied with) as a real parameter of the LCD monitor, which it is in fact not, or put much emphasis on parameters of secondary importance, which but slightly affect the investigated characteristic (for example, "color reproduction" is a complex characteristic which cannot be described by a single parameter). The first mistake is often committed when some side factors, specific for the particular measurement method, come to the fore, obscuring the measured value. The second mistake is often the result of the equipment being not capable of measuring the significant parameters right, so the reviewer has to base his/her suppositions on the insignificant parameters.
Here are a couple of examples to prove my point. An attempt to measure a monitor's contrast ratio with the help of a digital camera would be totally wrong without accounting for the camera's matrix's own noise, the camera's gamma correction (which is performed when saving into any format, except RAW), the backlight noise and other related factors. An error of the second type is an attempt to compare the speeds of two LCD monitors by measuring their making black-to-white transitions. The result would be useless, even if everything is measured with high precision and correctly, just because it is the response time on gray-to-gray transitions that's more important here, rather than the transition between the two limiting states.
Thus, in order to compare LCD monitors by their specs or by numbers you've got through some tests, it is of paramount importance to understand what these numbers mean as well as by which method and under which conditions they were arrived at.
This article is intended as a comprehensive description of the main parameters of LCD monitors as well as of the typical methods the manufacturers use to measure them. Then, since the bulk of the LCD monitor's properties is determined by the matrix it is based on, and since there are only four types of the matrix now employed (TN+Film, S-IPS, MVA and PVA), I am going to describe the distinguishing features of each type of the matrix.

I live not-quite in a not-quite city, and it seems to suit me. All my life I've been not-quite sure who or what I wanted to be, so I have not-quite "arrived." I was not-quite part of any group in school, and not-quite a great student – not-quite a rebel and not-quite an angel. Sometimes I feel like I'm not-quite even here. It's a little like being almost a ghost – I sometimes feel like I can observe while unobserved, like the proverbial fly on the wall. But not-quite.
With people from all sides encouraging us all to "follow your passion," and "do what you love," I have not-quite been there or done that. And my problem seems to be that I'm not-quite sure which passion to follow – science or art, writing or painting, growing roses or building web sites. Let's not forget reading. If I could kick back with a good book all day and make a living at it… heaven.
This past weekend I met someone you might call a guru of authentic living. Patti Digh is a writer/blogger that my friend, Tresha, has been following on line for some time. Tresha sent Patti some of her artwork, and one piece was published in one of Patti's books – Four Word Self Help. Tresha gave me a copy of the book. Sunday, Patti Digh was going to be at a bookstore in Houston to chat and autograph her books, so Tresha asked me if I wanted to go.
Now Houston is not-quite on my list of favorite places to drive in my car on a warm day. My car is apparently going through menopause, and is prone to hot flashes – especially after I've been driving a while. So Tresha and I had to find a place where we could meet where I could leave my car – well away from the torture chamber that is the Houston freeway system. Did I mention that the air conditioner in my car doesn't work? Yeah, that, too.
Anyway it's a lot more fun to drive/ride into Houston with someone else, so we met in beautiful downtown Brenham, about an hour from where I live and two from Tresha's home. And they have a handy public parking lot smack in the middle of the historic district – we sometimes meet there on a Saturday to eat lunch at "Must Be Heaven" and visit the funky little downtown shops.
But back to Patti Digh and why she's in a piece about the "Land of Not-Quite." I get the feeling she used to live here, too. Her 37 Days blog explains what happened in her life to cause her to want to leave the land of not-quite behind. She has since published books of collections of some of her blog entries along with contributions from some of her readers (like Tresha's artwork). Her trip to Houston was part of a book tour for her latest book, What I Wish for You: Simple Wisdom for a Happy Life.
She greets everyone like an old friend, and so obviously is enjoying her life now, it's hard not to wish for exactly the same thing. Except that nobody's life is exactly like anybody else's. None of us have exactly the same dreams or the same experiences in life that may have led us to live apart from those dreams. Let me tell you, not-quite achieving a dream is a hell of a place to be. Suppressing dreams to the point of losing all track of them is like some kind of psychic amputation, complete with phantom limb pain.
I'm struggling to reclaim my dreams, beginning with sorting through the dim storage areas in my mind to find which ones were the most precious and can still make me happy, and how I can rebuild the support structures to hold them up while I learn just how much I'm still capable of doing. For instance, the dream I shoved farthest back in the attic is a horse. I never got over my teenage crush on horses. I discovered that I'm not a natural-born rider, but I never got to spend enough time on horse-back to get good at it. On the other hand, I did get pretty good at falling off. The current condition of my back and various joints makes horse-back riding look like a bad idea.
And I've fallen in love with mules. They appeal to the basenji-lover in me. Mules are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for (as are basenjis), disinclined to follow orders that don't make sense to them (ditto for basenjis), disinclined to let every little thing send them into a panic (as some horses are prone to do), and every bit as attractive. I could devote a whole blog to photos of mules and stories about them – if only I could get to the mules. When I went to the Texas Shootout last May, I felt like I'd found a little corner of heaven, but this year the event has been canceled due to the bad economy and high gas prices. I was planning to spend more than just the final day at the event, force myself to talk to more people, and hopefully get invited to a nearby farm to visit and take more pictures. Not going to happen.
I can't travel far, especially in the warmer months, because of my menopausal car. It's not as major a hardship for me as it could be for some people, because I'm quite happy to stay home and keep the Puppy company… and read. If I could make a living reading, that would be another dream come true. It might not be possible to get wealthy from it, but I'm working on learning to write great book reviews so that at least I may be able to get all my books free (and pre-publication) at some future date. I've already had several published at Story Circle Book Reviews. I don't get paid, but I've already gotten a couple of free books.
For my third dream (and if I was talking to a magic genie, this would be my third wish), I would love to have a great big rose garden in my back yard. I have ideal conditions – a bald prairie where the roses could all get tons of direct sunlight and great air circulation. I would only grow roses that had won awards for fragrance, like Fragrant Cloud, Double Delight, Mister Lincoln, and that I could get enough blooms from to take some to sell at the weekly farmers market in Bryan. I would make little cards to go with the bouquets with the name and history of the rose, because I think that's the best way to enjoy roses – knowing their personal histories.
So there it is. My recipe for a happy life. It may yet come about. I feel I may be moving from not-quite to almost.

For Immediate Release
September 27, 2012
Gov. Quinn, Lt. Gov. Simon and State Board of Education Celebrate Farm to School Month in Illinois
Farm to School programs benefit the entire community
SPRINGFIELD —Governor Pat Quinn, Lt. Governor Sheila Simon and the Illinois State Board of Education are working to spread the word about National Farm to School Month in October. Schools are encouraged to participate in Farm to School programs, which aim to help students choose healthier foods, including more fruits and vegetables.
"Farm to School programs stress healthy eating and teach children the origin of our food," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "Parents, teachers and even students have the opportunity to make a difference in their community for National Farm to School Month."
To get started on a new Farm to School program or to share projects, schools and farmers can visit the Illinois Farm to School Website at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/farmtoschool/, administered by the University of Illinois Extension Office. Schools and farmers across the state are working together to serve healthy meals in school cafeterias and improve student nutrition; provide agriculture, health and nutrition education opportunities; and support local and regional farmers. A list of ideas and resources for the classroom is at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/farmtoschool/school_classroom.cfm.
Earlier this year, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a proclamation, designating October as Farm to School Month in Illinois and calling for public support of Farm to School initiatives throughout the Land of Lincoln.
Some of the projects and events that help realize these goals include connecting school food buyers with Illinois farmers; inviting farmers to host field trips and/or classroom visits for school children; and encouraging parents, teachers, school administrators and community members to learn how to participate in programs.
"Farm to School programs educate our students about the health benefits of local food and importance to our economy," said Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon. "With these programs, more of our food dollars will remain in local communities and we create valuable connections between schools, students, and local farmers that will enhance students' understanding of agriculture in Illinois."
At the National Farm to School website, http://www.farmtoschoolmonth.org/, schools can take the Farm to School Counts pledge and share their Farm to School activities during the month of October for a chance to win prizes. Educators and others also can sign up for news and updates.
Farm to School newsletters from the University of Illinois Extension is available at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/farmtoschool/newsletter.cfm. To sign up to receive the latest electronic issues, send an email to Julia Govis at firstname.lastname@example.com and write "Newsletter" in the subject line. The newsletters include information about upcoming webinars and many resources for educators.
Additional resources on child nutrition to help celebrate National Farm to School Month include The Let's Move Campaign's Chef Move to Schools Program, www.letsmove.gov/chefs-move-schools, and the School Nutrition Association, www.asfsa.org.

CNJ staff
Ninth Judicial District Attorney Matthew Chandler was named New Mexico Law Enforcement Prosecutor of the Year by the New Mexico Bar Association.
The award is given annually to a New Mexico prosecutor "who has gone above and beyond his or her duties as a prosecutor by providing leadership, support and assistance to law enforcement officers within his or her district," according to a news release from Chandler's office.
The district attorney elected to represent Curry and Roosevelt counties, Chandler was nominated for the honor by law enforcement officers in his district for supporting their investigation of cases, providing them with legal training and success prosecuting cases, the news release said.
With more than 200 prosecutors in New Mexico, Chandler said he was "extremely surprised" to be selected for the honor.
"I was shocked," he said.
Curry County Sheriff Deputy Sandy Loomis stated in his nomination letter, "I consider Matthew Chandler to be the most devoted and most professional prosecuting attorney I have had the pleasure to work with in almost 33 years of being a peace officer," according to the release from Chandler's office.
Chandler earned his undergraduate degree from Eastern New Mexico University in criminal justice and his law degree at the University of Tulsa in 2001. He started his legal career at a civil law firm in Albuquerque.
Having grown up in a local law enforcement family — Chandler's father, Caleb Chandler, retired in 1990 as Clovis Police Chief — he moved back to Clovis in April 2002. He became an assistant district attorney in August 2002 and took over district attorney duties in November 2004.
Chandler received the award Thursday at the annual New Mexico District Attorney's Conference.

The best kind of emails are the encouraging ones. When you know that what you have to say can encourage someone else, take the time to send a short message. That's all it takes.
From an amazing woman of God to my inbox;
Good Morning Ladies,
As I have been going over this weeks verses, I have been led to pray Paul's prayer for each one of you. I pray that God would grant you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better, that the eyes of your hearts would be enlightened in order to know the hope to which he has called each one of you, and finally that you would realize the power that you possess through your relationship with Him. I love each of you and have been thanking God for the opportunity to be part of this journey with you.
Blessing and looking forward to Thursday.
I highly recommend you find person or intimate group of people you can trust and do life with. Each week a group of five meet to discuss our triumphs and struggles, share our dreams, and go deep into what God is doing in our lives. If you are not in an area or church where you can find this sort of mentorship/community, than I highly recommend you check out the mentoring section at the goodwomenproject.com and sign up. It doesn't matter if you are a Christian, Buddhist or an Atheist, the women behind this website want to love on you and encourage you through this thing called life.

New club looks to boost local tech knowledgeBy Elicia Mailhiot
Correspondent | January 14,2014Kindle. iPhone. HTML. Facebook. Technological jargon has become a part of many Americans vocabulary in the past decade. A few local residents have been living outside the confines of a small screen, but now they want to know how to build their own website or send messages to their friends on social media.
Thats where the Rutland Tech Club comes in. The newest club in Rutland County held its first meeting Saturday at Rutland Free Library. More than 10 people showed up for the brainstorming session to share what they want to learn with club founders Ron Pulcer and Stephen Waite.
The duo decided to create a group to not only fill a void in Rutland, but to form a group of people who are interested in learning and upgrading their information technology skills, Pulcer said. They also hope that some participants will be willing to share their skills in the future through workshops and other teaching methods.
The hope of this is that we can show you how to build your own things and not rely on Mark Zuckerberg, said Pulcer, referring to the co-founder of Facebook.
Those who attended the meeting not only had different reasons for being there, but many had different skill levels as well. Some had already programmed their own websites, while others were unsure of what a browser was.
Dorothy Webber, like others in the group, said she hopes to learn more about social media tools for personal use.
I want to learn a little more about Facebook, she said. So I can communicate with the young ones.
Before Jack Crowther was coordinating the Wild Woods Music Co-op, he wrote for the Rutland Herald. He knows how to publicize a business, he said, just not using social media.
Id be interested in learning how do you publicize a nonprofit group and use this media, he said. The social media part of it is really what Im still a novice at.
Crowther also questioned how businesses make interaction with followers valuable.
I found Facebook really easy to ignore, he said. You know, you get notifications saying a photo of you has been tagged and I just kind of say OK and move on. Im a nonactive user of Facebook.
The groups founders said they hope to provide the answers to participants questions and to use the group as a way to help the community, Pulcer said. He has been meeting with Greg Cox of the Vermont Farmers Food Center about creating Web applications. Because the center is a nonprofit organization, they rely heavily on volunteers.
What he wants to do seems pretty ambitious, but Id like to see what we can do, Pulcer said.
Because the group is in its start-up phases, they dont have a budget. Pulcer said several local businesses, such as the Farmers Food Center, have offered the use of its space.
The next Rutland Tech Club meeting is planned to begin at 1 p.m. Feb. 8 at Rutland Free Library.

INJURY REPORTBy SANTOSH VENKATARAMAN, STATS Senior Writer
Mar 7, 1:50 am EST
Tipoff: 8:30 pm EST Wed Mar 7, 2012
Jeremy Lin seems to be slowing down for the New York Knicks, and hes got an elite point guard gearing up to face him next in Tony Parker.
Lin will try to help the Knicks end their eight-game road losing streak against Parker and the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
Lin had 14 points for the second straight defeat Tuesday, making 4 of 13 shots in a 95-85 loss at Dallas.
New York (18-20) has lost three straight on the road, with Lin averaging 12.0 points on 27.5 percent shooting with totals of 15 assists and 16 turnovers in those games.
The Knicks rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to take the lead Tuesday - with Lin on the bench for that stretch - before the Mavericks closed on an 18-7 run.
We made a run with our second team, Lin said. We couldnt close this game out and they obviously did a great job of getting defensive stops.
Parker is eager to see what he can do against the NBAs newest sensation as San Antonio (25-12) tries to avoid its first home loss to New York since a 105-97 defeat March 18, 2003.
Tomorrows game is important and my matchup against Lin is going to be a good one, Parker said. Hes been playing well for them. Like I said before, its a great story and hopefully he can maintain that level.
While the point guard matchup will be one to watch, New York would also like to see Carmelo Anthony get untracked. The All-Star forward is averaging 16.3 points on 38.5 percent shooting in six games starting alongside Lin since returning from a groin injury, making 2 of 12 shots for six points Tuesday.
Were out of sync sometimes, coach Mike DAntoni said. Its harder to get everybody in there and out of there, get em in their rhythms, get roles defined.
Anthony is facing the Spurs for the first time with New York. His scoring averages of 20.3 points against the Spurs and 18.8 in San Antonio are his lowest against any Western Conference foe.
Amare Stoudemire seems to be adjusting better, scoring 26 points Tuesday to match his highest total with Lin as a starter.
The Spurs have dropped two of three to begin this seven-game homestand. Parker scored 25 points in Sundays 99-94 loss to Denver while Manu Ginobili had eight in his first game back after missing five with a strained oblique.
You bring players back, your rhythm changes, the dynamic changes, people have to get back to what roles they had before, coach Gregg Popovich said. Any team that goes through that needs a little time. New Yorks done the same thing with Stoudemire and Carmelo coming back.
Knicks forward Steve Novak can reach double digits in points for a career-high sixth straight game Wednesday after averaging 14.6 in his previous five. Novak shot 54.8 percent on 3-pointers in 23 games with the Spurs last season.
Nobodys more thrilled for Steve than we are, Popovich said. He was wonderful in our program and its great to see him have this place and opportunity in Mikes system to play the way hes played.

The Metrocard Swipe : Spurs are the best prepared team in the league. We're the worst.
Match up of the game:
Amare versus Blair and Duncan. Can Amare go back to Suns playoff form and dominate Duncan? Can we hope? Heres a flash back.
Incase you guys didn't know, I hate RJ as much as I hate Isiah; heres a shoutout to a terrible game by RJ; hoping Fields dunks on RJ and breaks his shoulder in the process.
Enjoy these mamis.
Go Knicks!

That second girl pic is ****ing hot.
I saw the video of that gif. She gets naked and stuff.
Looking forward to this one more than usual. You can never expect an easy game against the Spurs.

Is this the first metro GT? First in my memory.
Loving the ass in the blue dress
That was a question that needed no answers.....great-thread we always had problems
putting-up the end of back to back game thread....luvin the bouncin boooties....
my wife been callin me a booty-man for 20 years.
How did we lose to a 4th quarter fatique Mavs team last night? when "STOPS"
was all we needed to WIN.
We were doing great with Jorts/Stat/Novak/Shump/Bdiddy at the start of the
4th quarter....all we had to do for the WIN was add Jefferies & Tyson to replace Jorts & Stat.
Two straight road games where Jared Jefferies was denied playingtime in the
4th quarter....I been saying for years that Jefferies is a player u give playingtime
to in the 2nd half of the game.
We had the Mavs game by using 11 players in our rotation compared to the
Mavs 9 player rotation who had to run with OKC the night before....Rick Carlisle
had to call two timeouts early in the 4th quarter which meant we had them
on their last legs.
Tyson Chandler, Jefferies, and Shump is our best defensive "TRIO"
that co-exist like champions on the defensive-end of the court.
Nice thread Metro, that was foul what u did to Melo, in the starting lineup, LMAO.He hasn't been that bad, man, with that being said, we need to get Melo's confidence back, he looks lost out there, like STAT did(before last night).We should try to get him going early, and keep finding STAT close to the hoop like last night, and LIN needs to look for them a little more, because without these 2, playing well togethe, we have no chance to do anything this year.just my
Amare was jeffries reincarnated on the defensive end in the 2nd half last night..
Just looking at the matchups in the thread you would think the Knicks would have a lock on the game but the Spurs are overachieving and the Knicks are underachieving, 2 games under .500 is an embarrassment with this roster and payroll.
If only games are won on paper, Knicks would be running away with the Atlantic division.
How's a team with one star player (Parker) doing so much better than our fully loaded lineup? SMH. We will probably get killed tonight with Duncan leading the way dropping 30 points and 18 rebounds.
Will we see the real Melo tonight?
Nice thread, Metro. Much thanks for the rump-shakers!!!
We need a W like I need one of those dimes to straddle my face and wear her like B-Diddy's beard.
@ClydeFacts "When one of his ladys asked clyde why he doesnt text he said if you dont get the message by now a phone aint gonna help." Except for Kate. Wobble Wobble!
Is Shump starting tonight?
" It's a new era for the Knicks "

Bradley students enjoy a 92% career outcome rate in the job market or in a graduate program. What is remarkable about that number is the 95% knowledge rate, representing the percent of graduates for whom the University has reasonable, verifiable career data.
Bradley students participate in a wide array of experiential learning activities on and off campus that prepare them for early career success. Networking opportunities with alumni and industry leaders combined with the assistance of the Smith Career Center contribute to outstanding outcomes for the University's graduates.
Bradley undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to take advantage of real-world experiences with real-world projects for real-world clients.
Valuable internships, co-ops, practicums and myriad other opportunities abound in Peoria and around the world. Peoria is home to the Fortune 50 Caterpillar Inc. and the largest medical community in downstate Illinois. Other key employers and University partnerships provide students with an advantage in a highly competitive market.
Personalized attention in classrooms, labs and co-curricular activities makes a huge impact on the quality of a Bradley education. A 12:1 student-faculty ratio enables students to interact closely with their professors and classmates. This individualized attention also enriches the classroom environment, enhances professor feedback and assists students in mastering coursework.
Students receive the high-quality education provided by a private university with professors who want to teach, guide, encourage and inspire the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals.
In U.S.News & World Report's publication Best Colleges, Bradley consistently ranks as a top school among Midwest Regional Universities providing a full range of undergraduate and master's programs. In its 2017 edition, Bradley ranked as the top university of its type in Illinois and sixth among all universities in its region.
With a full range of undergraduate and graduate degrees, Bradley offers more than 185 majors and programs of study across five colleges and The Graduate School.
Individuals who aren't sure what they want to study may learn about a vast number of choices through the University's Academic Exploration Program (AEP) — the perfect starting point. This nationally recognized program provides students with opportunities to identify their academic interests, understand their skills and evaluate careers that reflect their values and aspirations.
Bradley University again this year was named to Kiplinger's Personal Finance list of 100 "Best Values in Private Universities," earning the rank of 67. This is the sixth consecutive year Bradley was included in the list of four-year schools that combine outstanding academics with affordable cost.
In its Best Colleges 2015, U.S.News & World Report ranked the Caterpillar College of Engineering and Technology as one of the 25 "Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs" in the nation as determined by a survey of deans and senior faculty at peer institutions.
At Bradley, all courses are taught by professors, not graduate assistants. In fact, 85 percent of the University's 350 full-time faculty members hold doctorate or terminal degrees, giving students access to active researchers, renowned scholars and dedicated teachers who want to make a difference in their lives — and the world.
The Robert and Carolyn Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is the first standalone academic unit of its type in the nation.
Offering students across the University — from any major — the finest entrepreneurship education available, the Turner School seeks to nurture students' entrepreneurial actions, innovation, creativity and cross-disciplinary learning. This mission is accomplished through a wide range of opportunities, including a minor in entrepreneurship and innovation, the Entrepreneurial Scholar Program, the Distinguished Entrepreneur Speaker Series and other valuable experiential learning activities.
A study by the Brookings Institution ranks Bradley among the Top 20 "Salary-Boosting Colleges" in the nation and as the #1 college in Illinois. Brookings estimated how much a college directly contributed to alumni salaries by predicting what their earnings would be based on a college's institutional, student and locational characteristics and comparing that to what alumni were actually making 10 years after graduating.
The report revealed that Bradley graduates, on average, earn 35 percent more than if they had attended a comparable institution.
The first named sports communication school in the nation, The Charley Steiner School of Sports Communication is named in honor of four-time Emmy Award winner and National Radio Hall of Fame inductee Charley Steiner. The Steiner School offers students expedition courses and internships as well as symposiums and lectureships. The iconic Steiner, the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and other media professionals will spend one week each fall teaching on campus.

Monday, August 26th, 2013 Mill Valley Public LibraryCreekside Room7 PM (doors open at 6:45)Impressionists on the WaterAugust 26th, 7:00pm
Coinciding with San Francisco's hosting of the America's Cup races this summer, another side of nautical life is revealed by more than 80 remarkable paintings and works on paper by Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro and Post-Impressionists such as Maurice Denis and Paul Signac—artists whose breathtaking artistry reflects their own deep understanding of pleasure boating and competition. Rita Dunlay, a docent for the Fine Arts Museums, will discuss this exhibition which illuminates the personal interactions of leading French artists with yachting and, more broadly, underscores the important role that access to the sea and extensive inland waterways played in the development of the art, culture, and commerce of France.

I'm a first time poster to the forum. I'm a new mom, with a DD on 2/4. I'm worried that my little DD isn't getting enough milk. We had her weighed Friday and Monday and she hadn't gained any weight. We go in again on Friday and see if things have improved. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what I can do better. I need help!!!
1. Does anyone else constantly need to WAKE your baby to nurse?? I see a lot of posts about their babies being demanding. My little peanut is just the opposite. I try to feed every 2 - 2 1/2 hours during the day, but if I didn't wake her, I'm sure I could easily go a lot longer. Is this a sign of not getting enough milk??
2. Also, I think I may have OALD. I can't get my baby to nurse for more than 10-15 minutes...she makes a lot of sucking sounds. And she never makes it to the other breast. I'm going to try pumping (I dunno, maybe an oz?) before feeding to see if this helps. Any other suggestions?
3. Also, how would I know when my baby drains a breast and I should switch sides?
Any help is REALLY appreciated. I'm scared I'm not doing this right

"This may be the most surprising news of the evening," Capcom R&D head Keiji Inafune said last night. And then he unveiled DMC: Devil May Cry, a reboot of the iconic hack-and-slash series. Inafune might have oversold it: A Devil May Cry sequel is not exactly a shock that's going to turn the industry on its head.
Still, there were some unexpected twists in the details revealed at Capcom's pre-TGS event. The first surprise was that yes, this is a reboot. That might be a wise decision given that the series that was starting to get a little gray around the ears—not to mention overshadowed by the God of War games that have built on some of Devil May Cry's design cues.
Appropriately enough for this rejuvenating rebirth, DMC will star a younger Dante—one who, judging by the trailer that Inafune premiered last night, is dealing with some heavy baggage. The trailer cuts between two scenes. In one, a shackled Dante dangles from the ceiling in a dingy tiled room while an administrator from a "young offenders rehabilitation program" demands to know his name. Dante refuses to answer, but a glimpse of his eye tell us that his emotional state is vacillating between "furious" and "no, really, quite angry." Cut to an exterior scene—presumably a gameplay demo—and our hero releases all that pent-up rage on a gang of demons who just happened to be in the wrong parking lot at the wrong time.
The second surprise was that the game is being developed by what seems to be a team of millions, with few of the names that you might expect. Chief among them is Capcom Entertainment, Inc., the company's San Mateo, Calif., division that is taking the lead on this project.
"You may be saying, 'Wait a minute, Capcom USA heading up a game? I'm not sure I like this idea," Inafune said—with lead CEI producer Alex Jones standing right next to him, no less. "But over the last year," Inafune continued, "my reach has expanded beyond Japan. I'm now head of global R&D. … Alex works directly for me." You get the sense that Inafune is something of a control freak? Yeah, a little bit.
Jones has to coordinate a global operation that includes not only his own team in California and Inafune's crew in Japan, but also Ninja Theory, the development house in Cambridge, England, that's responsible for Heavenly Sword and the upcoming Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. There's a lot of chefs in the kitchen, but Capcom executive Kideaki Itsuno said that the diversity of perspectives is a good thing: "One thing we've learned in working with Ninja Theory is that they have a good sense of 'cool' that we don't have on our side."
Whether the new Dante will be accepted as "cool" or not remains to be seen, but he is different. Gone is the gray-haired silver fox of previous Devil May Cry games, replaced with a younger model whose chest-baring T-shirt, low-hanging cigarette, and perma-scowl suggest a touch of emo.
If you fear change, don't worry—"we want to keep the essence of the gameplay," said Ninja Theory creative director Tameem Antoniades. Translation: Dante's no wallflower. And this was evident in the trailer. For instance, that long, thin, oh-so-cool cancer stick dangling from Dante's mouth? At one point, he puts it out in the eye of an approaching demon. And then he stretches out a massive tentacle to hurl a car at another group of hideous ghouls. So yeah, he might look a little Rufus Wainwright-y, but this new Dante isn't going to be sulking over his chai tea at the corner café.
Inafune was cagey on release dates—"too early to talk about anything like that"—and likewise for expected platforms. It's still early. If we see the game before 2012, that would be the biggest surprise of all.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Mei Terumi
Mito Uzumaki
Female Pain
Konan will destroy any female ninja
surprised the tenten fan club hasnt been here yet
Konan cause she displayed how strong a female ninja should be
Tsunade is
Impressive kunoichi are Tsunade, Temari, Chiyo, Mei and Konan. The strongest is Tsunade.
Konan because she seems more powerful, but Tsunade is more experienced. Also, I think Konan was a bit like Nagato, she didn't like fighting. She did it because she had to. Tsunade is more practical imo, she seems to have accepted the fact that shinobi and kunoichi must fight and that's why she introduced the medic in the team, in order to improve the efficiency of the team and help protect asap those who were wounded.
Tsunade for me. She has that brute strenght, top medical skills and she´s very experienced.
Originally Posted by Micho22

Tsunade, not even a contest. Not just as a Ninja, but in terms of contribution and independence. Sakura should have been as well, if Kishimoto further developed her character after the first two arcs of Shippuden. None of the others even come close.
tsunade sakura konan
tsunade,konan,mei,sakura and so on
Ringo(the one from the seven ninja swordsmen)
I don't think this is the right list, but from what i have seen in anime, this is accurate... Kushina, Mito, Kurenai MIGHT be added, if they ever show us what they can do. Oh and Tenten, Ino, Hinata, Karin and especially SAKURA are one of the weakest characters in the series, don't blame me, blame kishimoto(even though Hinata is a nice character).
Konan or Chiyo.
idc abut power ... Mei , Kushina , Konan and Kurenai are the best for obvious reasons
Hinata all day baby!
Hate to say it, but it seems Kishi is a bit "sexist" when it comes to female characters (may not be intentional). they are too far and few. Ratio is like 9:1 lol.
There have been zero female antagonists in the entire span of the show (I know about Konan but she was just a side bender to the main Ferrari which is of course Pain and Itachi and Tobi and all them ;/). The main female protagonist hasn't really had a good, well rounded character development (except Hinata arguably, and she aint even the main).
But yeah, the show is lacking in the ol' female department.
Tsunade is the first who springs to mind. And then maybe Mei, but we don't know much about her other than the fact that she is Mizukage which gives her an automatic boost? lawl (she didn't do much of anything during the Madara fight).
Not really sure, Kushina, Chiyo and Konan are also up there for sure.
And also any female Jinchuriki get an automatic boost to the top. I think there's only one, the cat lady lol.
Mito sounds cool but we've seen absolutely nothing on her cept for the fact that she has the same sensing ability as Naruto.
So based purely on what we've seen I'd say:
1. Tsunade
2. Kushina (she can restrain the 9 tails in a near death state ;/)
3. Konan
4. Cat jinchuriki lady, Matatabi I think the beast's name is...
5. Mei
6. Chiyo

The future of Infinity Ward might be determined in the next few hours.
I'm told by a source close to the studio that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick will address the development leads at Infinity Ward in a meeting in just a few minutes -- noon, to be exact.
It's unclear what the meeting will be about, but it is likely related to the apparent departure of Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West, as discovered earlier today.
After Kotick and company's meeting with the leads at Infinity Ward, there will be a second meeting addressing the studio as a whole. The details of that meeting are also unclear.
As soon as I have more details, I'll pass them on.

Education, Youth Outreach, and Community Development
Education is fundamental to human progress, enabling individuals and communities to acquire skills and knowledge essential for improving their quality of life. Yet in much of the developing world, access to basic education is limited.
Education is the Peace Corps' largest program area, with Volunteers serving as teachers of English, math, science, and business. Education Volunteers introduce innovative teaching methodologies; encourage critical thinking in the classroom; and integrate issues like health education and environmental awareness into English, math, science, and other subjects. Many also work in curriculum or materials' development and train teachers informally or formally in conversational English, academic subjects, or methodology, thus achieving a truly sustainable impact.
Education Volunteers are uniquely positioned to be highly effective community development workers. Through the strong relationships they forge with students, parents, and other community members, Volunteers engage in a wide variety of outreach projects concerning at-risk children or youth, adult literacy, health or HIV/AIDS education, environmental awareness, development of libraries and resource centers, and information technology.
If you can offer a more detailed description than this standard description the Peace Corps offers, please feel free to include that so others can get a better idea of what certain work areas consist of.

Jacques Doucet
Jacques Doucet
Boulogne-sur-Seine 1924-1994 Paris
Erik Slagter: 'Jacques Doucet is a small man with a squarish white beard framing a weathered face with very expressive eyes that are always darting about. You can see that he has had to struggle in life, but has never given up.'
Corneille: 'He drew like a child that creates an entire world in chalk on a pavement, he drew little figures – the kind you see in public lavatories or on walls in major cities – with lines that run their own course, passionate, colourful, shameless, such as everyday reality.'
Life history
Jacques Doucet was born in Boulogne-sur-Seine near Paris in 1924. He started drawing and writing poems around 1940. After the war broke out he began painting as well, including, for instance, a portrait which he portentously named Man in Freedom. In 1942 he met the painter/poet Max Jacob, who had a surrealistic influence on his art. But work by the already legendary Picasso, who lived in Paris at the time, was another great influence during the war years.
He was incarcerated by the Nazis for 'terrorist activities' and they confiscated his work.
Whilst imprisoned at Santé prison the graffiti on the walls by former prisoners made a big impression. The graffiti was, for him, a carved testimony to human existence. He saw the fear and hope it expressed. It was to have a lasting influence on him and on his work. He was not released from the Santé prison until 1945.
In the ensuing years he became captivated by the 'child-like drawings' of Paul Klee and Miró, and he became increasingly fascinated by real children's drawings on street walls. It was around this time that he personally met artist Jean-Michel Atlan, who had also been incarcerated by the Germans, which created a bond.
In 1947 he was offered a solo exhibition in the European School in Budapest, where he got to know Corneille. This marked Corneille's encounter with modern art, because through Doucet he discovered work by Miró and Klee. Corneille said, 'My stay there was a delight, despite the dilapidated accommodation. Unforgettable experiences awaited us: work, comradeship and heated debates.' About Doucet he said, 'He danced at night like a wild fawn on the out-of-bounds lawn of the public gardens, where he wanted to tuck under his arm the shining yellow moon that hung close by in the indigo sky among the stars.'
In the years that followed, Doucet took Corneille and the artists he met through Corneille round Paris, saw to it that they had a place to stay and showed them all he knew.
The encounter was every bit as vital to Doucet, because he wanted to distance himself from what he saw as an overly intellectualized world in Paris, awash with theory. He got to know other members of the Experimental Group through Corneille and this loosened up his work. He immediately became affiliated with them and subsequently with the international Cobra movement, which the Experimental Group merged into.
Doucet felt particular kinship with the northern Cobra artists and, unlike the other French Cobra member Atlan, his contact with them was so close that he traveled to the north for this very purpose. He frequently visited Amsterdam and became good friends with many. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that one of his pieces is on the cover of the second issue of Reflex.
Corneille gave him a piece of wood and Doucet turned it into a woodcut. All the Experimental artists had submitted work, but Doucet was chosen over the others. Shortly afterwards, he was invited to take part in an exhibition with foreign exhibitors at Van Lier's in 1949. Work by their Dutch comrades was on show in the Bijenkorf department store, in the furniture department.
And a few months later Doucet quite naturally took part in the large Cobra exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Not only with his art, but also physically, because his name was the most often mentioned as one of the troublemakers at the poetry evening that got totally out of hand. Among other things, he started singing The Internationale and got into a scuffle. Some people even seemed to relish getting into a fist fight.
A small book about Doucet was published as part of the Bibliothèque Cobra 1950. It was written by Jean Laude, who characterised Doucet as a Cobra artist poised on the edge of child-like sensitivity. Laude quoted Baudelaire: 'Genius is childhood equipped now with the physical means to express itself.' He then went on to say, 'The expressive power that the signs on the prison cell walls have and which Doucet witnessed at first hand when imprisoned during the war are given creative release through his work. Painting is a temporary reprieve, a fight against death, but at the same time it is the search for happiness.'
This artist's publication belongs to the Ambassade Hotel Collection.
Doucet died in Paris in 1994.
After Cobra was disbanded in 1951, the small figures and birds started to diminish. The colours began to change as well. Doucet became obsessed with material. To quote, 'I need contact with the material for my spiritual quest and when I have this contact I experience true sensual pleasure.' He worked with areas of colour. Nevertheless, you can discover 'people' in his work here and there. Such as in the canvas recently acquired by Ambassade Hotel. If you let your imagination go, you might see a man with a bunch of flowers. Is it 'Lucca' ? Others, on the other hand, see a womb, possibly with sperm cell and egg, or is it?
Work by Doucet belongs to collections in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, Centre Pompidou in Paris en collections in Brussels, Stockholm, Silkeborg (Denmark) and Pittsburgh.

2008 Vosne Romanee Meo-Camuzet
This Product is currently unavailable. Please check back later or contact us directly and we will endeavour to source it for you.
Average critic rating : 87.0 points
A very Vosne-style nose of violets, blue fruit and exotic spice notes complements well the round, rich and velvety flavors that are supported by relatively fine tannins though there is just a hint of dryness to them at present. Allen Meadows, Burghound Jan30,2010
Despite a history that stretches back to the beginning of the 20th century, Méo-Camuzet is a relative newcomer to domaine-bottling, which started here in 1985. Prior to this, the Camuzet vineyards were leased out to sharecroppers and much of it sold to negociants. One such sharecropper was the legendary Henri Jayer , who acted as a consultant to the domaine.
The holdings are significant: grand crus Richebourg, Clos Vougeot and Echézaux and excellent sites in Vosne-Romanée including Cros Parantoux, Les Brulées and Les Chaumes. Three vineyards on the Vosne-Romanée side of Nuits St Georges: Boudots, Murgers and Bas de Combe complete the Côte de Nuits holdings with 1.38 hectares of village Vosne-Romanée. The domaine also has more than a hectare of grand cru Corton in the Côte de Beaune.
The style here is a full one, and Henri Jayer surely still an inspiration. The vineyards are worked organically, and the wines see up to 100% new oak, which integrates perfectly with some bottle age. The premier cru Vosne-Romanées are both from vineyards at the top of the slope, as is the Echézeaux, and these are lifted, mineral expressions of Vosne.

County health officials encourage people to bike to work
The County Health department is encouraging a healthy alternative to the morning commute.
Officials are asking people to consider walking or biking to school and work. They say our community has the right things in place to make it easy; complete streets, numerous bike lanes, and beautiful scenery.
Thanks to a $5,500 grant from the La Crosse Community Foundation, the department is not only able to talk about safety, it's also able to stress the health benefits. "You see more productive workers when they're active commuting or students who are walking or biking to school have more energy, more alert, ready to learn when they get to school, just a general healthier community overall," said Health Educator Rebecca Lakowske.
Plans are in place to make another big push before Bike to Work Week which is in the beginning of May.

- Bell inequalities for continuous-variable measurements
- Author(s)
- He, Q. Y.; Cavalcanti, E. G.; Reid, M. D.; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- Tests of local hidden-variable theories using measurements with continuous-variable (CV) outcomes are developed, and a comparison of different methods is presented. As examples, we focus on multipartite entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and cluster states. We suggest a physical process that produces the states proposed here, and investigate experiments both with and without binning of the continuous variable. In the former case, the Mermin-Klyshko inequalities can be used directly. For unbinned outcomes, the moment-based Cavalcanti-Foster-Reid-Drummond inequalities are extended to functional inequalities by consideration of arbitrary functions of the measurements at each site. By optimizing these functions, we obtain more robust violations of local hidden-variable theories than with either binning or moments. Recent inequalities based on the algebra of quaternions and octonions are compared with these methods. Since the prime advantage of CV experiments is to provide a route to highly efficient detection via homodyne measurements, we analyze the effect of noise and detection losses in both binned and unbinned cases. The CV moment inequalities with an optimal function have greater robustness to both loss and noise. This could permit a loophole-free test of Bell inequalities.

text: Apollo 20: UFO Spaceship on Moon 1976 Ninnana posted:1/18/2010 2:18:50 PM A secret joint space mission on the Moon, result of an American-Soviet collaboration taken place in August 1976? Is it possible? Why not, if you consider that the existence of a Federal Agency like NRO (National Reconnaissance Office), and its missions of overhead reconnaissance, "were declassified in September 1992" (according to its official website). And is it really possible that such a collaboration has been prepared to explore a huge alien spaceship found on the backside of the Moon?William Rutledge (according to his story, a man of 76 years old who lives in Rwanda, former of Bell Laboratories and employed by USAF) is the name of the "deep throat" who, since April 2007, has been disclosing information and spreading a lot of video and photographic material on YouTube, about the presumed Apollo 20 space mission. His user name on YouTube is "retiredafb", and the most amazing footage he released so far is the presumed flyover of an ancient alien spaceship found on the backside of the Moon by the Apollo 15 crew. -some images: http://www.disclose.tv/files/photos/d5cfead94f5350cL.jpghttp://www.disclose.tv/files/photos/f73b76ce8949fe2L.jpghttp://www.disclose.tv/files/photos/25ddc0f8c9d3e22L.jpgThe last official space mission to the Moon with crew was the Apollo 17 (NASA), which took place in December 1972, and the Apollo 20 mission was cancelled by NASA in January 1970. But the presumed footage of Apollo 20 is not the only material which came out in the last weeks: it was also released by William Rutledge a presumed studio for the flyover of the assumed alien spaceship (available on YouTube as the so-called preflight study for Apollo 20). And moreover on YouTube we have also several shots of the strange object on the backside of the Moon (whose numbers would be AS20-1020, AS20-1022 and AS20-FWD-7250). According to the YouTube file-card on William Rutledge, who uploaded the controversial footages and shots, "Apollo 20 went to the moon august 16 1976. Destination was Iszak D, southwest of Delporte Crater, farside of the moon. The mission was soviet-american. Crew was William Rutledge CDR, former of bell laboratories, leona snyder CSP bell laboratories, and alexei leonov, soviet cosmonaut former "apollo soyouz" (mission one year earlier)."There are a few inconsistencies in William Rutledge's memories that you can find in reading this interview. It could be comprehensible if you think about an old man (76 years old) who is trying to recall historical facts and events of his life. So, I am not astonished if Rutledge, for instance in talking about the former Russian President Boris Yeltsin who used tanks and troops during the assault to the Parliament building, recalled the years 1995 or 1994 when the exact year of the small civil war was 1993 ([…] "I went to the Ural in 1995 or 1994, can't recall, responding to an invitation, but it was a mess here, I crossed Moscow when tanks were shooting the Russian parliament" by W. Rutledge, from the answer nr.8 of the interview). I verified it later on an encyclopaedia, but I could not answer before to such a question. I remembered only it occurred at the beginning of the '90s.On the other hand William Rutledge showed me a knowledge of Geology, Chemistry and of space exploration history, using specific terms. For example, he mentioned in the interview a not well-know term: the "feldspathoid", a " mineral consisting of an aluminous silicate that has too little silica to form feldspar" (Webster's Third New International Dictionary", K�nemann, 1993,pag. 835).http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/1959/a19acd7d2689207lvc1.jpghttp://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3631/fb8feff253bb6c8lvk0.jpghttp://img385.imageshack.us/img385/4029/d305281faf947calqq9.jpgNinnana posted:1/18/2010 2:23:14 PM Post edit- source: http://www.disclose.tv/0x6a656666 posted:3/3/2010 6:34:27 AM Check out this interview with William Rutlidge.Ninnana posted:3/3/2010 7:25:13 AM Very cool!
