Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

You should be asking how can't Madara win. Remember...non-edo Madara has the complete susanoo and is on EMS mode...while Naruto's BM mode can only last 5 mins.
Naruto would stand no chance

True, but PS should also be taxing as hell, and Madara dont have unlimeted chakra when hes not Edo. And I already explained how BM Naruto could win against Madara and his PS.
By restricting PS movements with Kuramas tails like he did with other tailed beasts and shooting full powered TBB from point blank range? Something like that should be possible.

Naruto is the most unpredictable ninja and dat is a big minus 4 Madara.

rinnegan: madra can be assumed to have all techniques not just preta, its his rinnegan lmao, how can you say tobi is better then him at it, i remember people said he didnt have genjutsu 4th raikage would argue otherwise
wood: you never seen hashirama use wood release and the ones we have seen madaras are on a larger scale, however we can say assume this even though madara has is genetic code which means his abilities
PS: you fail to realize that madara has captured kyuubi without perfect susanoo before
The perfect jinchuriki thin isn't fart because the mizukage was a perfect jinchuriki and we seen tobi control him
No shit smart ass if you actually used your head and keep reading you can clearly see that it was a mistake genius. read before you post stupid shit.

Yeah with Prime sasuke at his side, hell they'll be living legends.

I get it, it's a shonen manga and ultimately Naruto's rainbows will shine bright, but if this wasn't, Madara would lay waste to all who appose him in his EMS form. Remember, he NEVER wanted to be revived as an edo. He must have had enough faith in his strength to chose his original form.
This Guy, all the way
you are wrong... edo madara > bm naruto for 2 reasons..
1) naruto has to sealing techs
2) madara spam susanoo's/meteors/mokuton.. he just keep spam and spam and spam until naruto dies
Originally Posted by SakuXNaru

I agree with the post because it's not abt power madara have that naruto doesn't posses but it's all abt sealing jutsu. Since this guy already shown most of the counters, i'll say that naruto is stronger but doesn't know it and if naruto was able to combine sage mode + bijuu mode, he would have been 3 times faster than bijuu mode and 3 times stronger than he is now however, madara has hype; so, kishi will make him whoop naruto first before naruto rape him.
EMS Madara > BM naruto
EDO Madara > Everyone
That is depending on your thought........
But my thought is Madara is still stronger than Naruto even he isn't an edo,I sure...
Ok so lets emulate this fight.
Fight starts, knowing anaruto, this will be the first thing that happens http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/601/15
Thread ended.
well i no naruto is better than ems madara. think about it all the time he was fighting tobi it was a clone of naruto and everyone knows clones are no stronger than the real on.. flash back when naruto and sauska fought zabuza clone !!!!!! i rest my case
Naruto shits on this Madara [IFF NON EDO]
Madara with his current abilities [+EDO] >> Naruto
Gave you a rep/like/whatever to counter the people who negged you like a bunch of sheep.
Current Madara> BM Naruto
BM Naruto> EMS Madara
Current Madara without zombie benefits > = BM Naruto (Naruto can still be a perfect match-up)
Poeple really cant read. We are talking about EMS madara and they keep talking about edo or wood release or rinnengen. We dont know if he had mokuton when he was alive and he said he awakened his rinnengan shortly before his death so u want to make an old madara near death fight naruto in BM? Right now we havent seen the extent of ems madara power, we only saw fire style justu, low genjutsu and PS and their is no proof if he has tsukuyomy or amaterasu and their is no proof he can control Kurama when he is inside naruto. So right now with what we know BM naruto has the edge over madara that fought hashi.
Sasuke was able to suppress Kurama's chakra inside of Naruto with his sharingan. Madara might be able to do the same, seeing as how is has more skill and experience with the sharingan and controlling Kurama.
That aside. Non edo Madara would still win. There is a reason only he is going up against both Naruto and Bee. Wood release can suppress Bijuu chakra. Madara has his fan that is enough to stop a mini TBB by itself. He can cause a distraction with Susanoo wood clones that can leave an opening to do so. Their is also perfect Susanoo. He used it to break out of a combined attack from the kage that included a particle release. I am sure that if Madara's fan can stop a mini TBB, and him shown being able to funnel his chakra through it to block attacks, he can stop a full TBB with the fan and PS. Madara is just too much with EMS, Rinnegan, and Wood release. He is basically himself, Hashirama, and Nagato all rolled up into one beast.

Summer Insect Safety
Story Updated: Jun 2, 2014
Summer is about fun in the sun. Unfortunately, it can also be about a mighty threat posed by a tiny pest the deer tick. As disease carriers go, deer ticks have gained infamy as potential conveyors of Lyme disease a bacterial infection that can pack a flu-like punch complete with symptoms that can include a tell-tale rash, muscle aches, headaches, fever, and fatigue.
And though treatable with antibiotics bite prevention is the weapon of choice for avoiding Lyme disease altogether. The experts at the National Institutes of Health advise people to cover up exposed skin when possible. Wearing shirts and pants pre-treated with a chemical repellent like permethrin can also be effective, they note.
One nationally renowned expert says that applying insect repellant directly to the skin is another safe bet for lowering risk so long as DEET content remains below 40% for adults and 30% for children.
And because ticks don't fly or jump- keeping lawns trimmed is a smart way to stop ticks from making the move from grass to skin.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with news from today that can lead to healthy tomorrows.

Through a series of essays, Sowell presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many policies and trends. He presents eye-opening insights into the development of the ghetto culture, a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves "friends" of blacks.
Black Rednecks and White Liberals is the capstone of decades of outstanding research and writing on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell.
©2005 Thomas Sowell; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks
"These vigorously argued essays present a stimulating challenge to the conventional wisdom." (Publishers Weekly)
"Great Book, Somewhat Misleading Title"
Thomas Sowell's scholarly expertise does not fail to disappoint in this enlightening book. Far from rendering blanket opinions, Dr. Sowell provides the reader/listener with an exceedingly well-sourced (but not at all dry) account of the origins of so-called "African American culture".
But the best surprise is that this book goes far beyond what the title appears to imply. Sowell provides one of the must elucidating explanations of the seemingly maniacal worldwide hatred of Jews that I have ever heard. He explains the role of the "middleman minority" and how their rational economic behavior often translates into class and ethnic stereotyping and hatred.
This book is a hard one to put down, and despite its scholarly merits, does not lull the reader into unconsciousness. Indeed, Sowell's writing style (the first book of his I've ever read) is crisp, clear, engaging, and always thought provoking. A solid narrative performance is also offered by Hugh Mann.
"I'll Never Call Anybody a Redneck Again"
I've read a number of books by Thomas Sowell. This one is at least as good as any I've read. Dr. Sowell discusses a number of topics related to race and culture that need to be discussed but aren't. As always, his writing is clear, concise and flows off the page. If you read one book this year, make it this one.
"Topics beyond the title"
This book was much better than I expected, given the unusual title. He builds upon the thesis that regional differences in American culture derive from variations in immigration patterns from Britain (who, where, when) which is covered in Albion's Seed, another good book (by a different author). He then adds generations of enslaved blacks living among one of these cultures and indirectly picking up behaviour and speech patterns derived indirectly from a certain time and place in Britain. He contrasts the results where blacks were not exposed to this culture, by not being enslaved or being enslaved elsewhere.
His history of Dunbar High School in DC was inspiring or threatening, depending on whether you believe blacks were as capable of competence as other immigrants or believe they need to be treated patronizingly forever, respectively. Dr. Sowell states that lack of enrollment restrictions and the parent's occupations did not make the students the cream of the crop, as the parent's occupations were maid, porter, etc., and that one third of DC blacks were going to Dunbar HS. Hence the earier nagative review.
The real treat in the book is the massive expansion of his treatment of "middle men" minorities (e.g. Jews, Chinese, Aremenians, etc), and why they are sometimes hated and periodically slaughtered.
Despite the title, this book has world wide scope.
This was a great book.
I is a pretty good reader. Ooops. I mean....I is a good listener. --24 per year Platinum
"Thomas Sowell is my hero"
Thomas Sowell book has taught me that history is the foundation to understanding ideologies, both economic and political.
Initially, the title seemed extreme to me -- BUT right away, this book is a history lesson. When I say to friends, "Do you know where the word 'redneck' came from?", they all give the same answer I had before listening to this book.
This book is a good investment, especially if you want to understand how history has shaped some of the radical thinking of today.
Non-Fiction, Science, Tech, History & Business
"The Solid Hybrid Sowell"
I can not recommend Mr. Sowell's work highly enough, he is a rational treasure who has rare ability to expand the mind of any reader, regardless of political views. I've bought and enjoyed 7 of his books, but this book has a political creep. I love Mr. Sowell's more political books like Visions and Intellectuals, but this book has a Hybrid feel to it where at times he moves between is views and his other Work a little too easily for my taste. I don't mean to say this is a bad book or you shouldn't read it, in fact I did still very much enjoy it, but you should know what you are getting.
"Sowell An American Treasure"
This book is an extraordinary example of clear, honest, and insightful thinking about people, culture, and history. Although the title would indicate that the book is entirely about some specific segments of American black culture and the white liberals who promote and seek to perpetuate such ills, it is actually broader in overall subject matter. Dr. Sowell, however, sticks close to his purpose as he ranges across time and geography, history and ideas. And his purpose is to draw a bead on the terrible damage done by the dishonesty and revisionism of self-serving and self-proclaimed moral and intellectual thinkers, teachers, demagogues, and other voices who are reported in the media. These, who Sowell sometimes refers to as the Anointed, seek to set those of us who they believe are not so blessed on the path of true moral perception and right thinking, and by their position in academia or politics have largely achieved their objective.
Thomas Sowell's ideas may be novel to many who have not looked beyond the classroom, the newspaper, or the television. If any would read this book, they will find reason and understanding supported by a world of facts, not selected facts. His presentation is clear, understandable, and easily absorbed by any people who care to think for themselves. This book is not a dry discourse or dissertation written expressly for scholars, but a lively and entertaining education. The narrator is excellent. Give it a listen.
"Black Rednecks and White Liberals - The Connection"
This is an informative and excellent book and should be a part of everyone's personal library and listed under a study of African American History - Culture. I know much has been said and written about such history but for some reason, studies in this area do not included much of the information contained in this two volume book. The information and the author's writing style will allow you to enjoy this in the same manner that you would enjoy a good novel. Well written, educational, and thought-provoking. Loved it! This is a MUST read since it has so much more to offer to an understanding of African American History.
"A Great Book"
Thomas Sowell has again shown that he is a think tank of our age. His wisdom and logic cannot be defeated at face, as shown by Elton's weak criticism. One can get away with demagoguery on a TV clip or sign waved in a demonstration, but lay out your argument paper simple terms it becomes obvious that Thomas Sowell's logic cannot be refuted...
For a long time I've wondered why Mississippi's average income is the lowest in the country, way lower than the New England and West Coast states. Mississippi isn't alone. The other Southern states are only slightly better. Well, this book goes a long way to explaining why. The answer is Southern culture.
This is a black libertarian's explanation of black underachievement and a strong argument for high academic standards and expectations. Hard work doesn't hurt either.
"A good balance for someone with the opposite POV"
I was wary of buying this book, but curious enough to give it a shot. My political leanings tend to be more on the liberal side than Mr Sowell, but I get annoyed with the dogma and one sidedness that is so prevalent when discussing politics, and Sowell is a good example of a conservative intellect. While he's not exactly balanced in his own views, he makes his case quite well.
I found the essays on slavery and education to be chalk full of historical information and most convincing of the essays. The black rednecks and white liberals essay used two straw men to make his point that basically, black people are behind in society due to culture and not societal disadvantages. While I praise him for his bravery in delivering some painful truths to American blacks who won't be happy with his criticisms, I think his point is hard to prove, and his anecdotes fail to do this. In fact, most of his points are supported by anecdotes, and he fails to adequately present opposing points of view, other than to mock them. He says early on that solutions will likely involve trade offs, but doesn't really talk about trade offs or solutions. His solution for everything seems to be shut up and work hard, and rejects the notion that we as a society have a responsibility to have the weakest link in our chain be strong enough to hold us together.
With that said, I was nonetheless impressed by this book and another pitch perfect performance by Dion Graham. Sowell's scholarship and historical knowledge are impressive and fascinating. Just be careful not to take his views as gospel.
"Really interesting"
Interesting ideas, well researched, and clearly understood, black rednecks and white liberals offers some good arguments against the perceived wisdom that seems to drive certain political ideologies.
A couple of things to be aware of:
- Sowell tends to write in essay format which is fine but it does mean that sometimes the overall book lacks structure. Additionally, chapters often rehash the same ground as early ones, often even reusing examples.
- the narrator is good and clear but talks rather slowly. You might want to consider listening on double speed.
"Excellent book"
Superb and entertaining book. The reading voice is somehow monotonous but you forget about it when the subject is so interesting. It is great to see somebody against the politically correct tide.

Hey guys, hope someone can help, I've been brewing a while using the bottle top method, but have recently tried to use a glass media bottle instead of the plastic ones that always crack!
Every time I try to sterilise the media bottle it leaves condensation! Obviously I haven't filtered into it with it being like this as I will just end up with cloudy end product.
my method has been, clean bottle with anti bac soap and boiling water then rinse with distilled water, then bath in 70% isoprop then whack in the oven for an hour at 400 with foil on top. Once I removed from oven, after 10 mins I start to get condensation.
anyone else get this? Any advice would be great.
Thanks guys

Keeping New Year's Resolutions
Every year, millions of people choose January 1st as the day to begin a new life. And why not? It's a new year, and the feeling of starting over brings most of us a sense of relief. Each January, we say that this will be the year that we eat healthier foods, exercise more, quit smoking, save money...but often, by March we have slipped from our promises to ourselves. Why is it so easy to make a New Year's resolution and yet so hard to keep it?
Don't worry-you're not the first one to have this problem. Aristotle called it akrasia, which he defined as "acting against one's better judgment." We know that eating less sugar and exercising more is good for us, and yet we find ourselves eating chocolate cake in front of the television. Current research at the University of Minnesota has found that we all have a limited capacity for self-control, and the more demands there are in the consumer environment, the harder it can be to adhere to our goal of a healthier life. In short: maintaining a high level of motivation is tricky when we're surrounded by temptations.
Here are some tips to help you stick to the goal you have designed for yourself:
- Team up. It's much easier to stick to a plan if you're being held accountable for it. If you've got a friend with a similar goal, set up a plan to enact it together: take jogs together in the morning, share food diaries, or go to a group meeting. Cheer each other on and celebrate small successes together.
- Don't try to do too much at once. Experts at Stanford University School of Medicine found in a 2002 study that setting too lofty a goal will decrease your chances of success. Don't jump into a high-intensity exercise plan or suddenly ban all sugars from your diet. Experts suggest easing into a manageable workout plan or simply eating smaller portions at meals. The idea is to create a plan that you will be able to follow for the rest of your life-not just this year.
- Anticipate obstacles and be forgiving of slip-ups. Look ahead in your calendar to see where you might have difficulty sticking to your goal. Is there a party coming up with rich and fatty foods on the menu? Are you going to be at a work retreat and away from the gym for a week? Don't let these obstacles derail you-make them a part of your plan. And if you have a setback, ask yourself why it occurred so that you'll be more aware of your vulnerabilities next time. Being mindful of the process, rather than judgmental, will help you have a relaxed and friendly attitude toward your progress.
Check out the Create a Healthy Lifestyle tool to help you design a personalized plan for improving your physical, mental, and spiritual health in the new year.

RUSH: We've been talking a lot lately about what I consider to be the implosion of the Democratic Party and the liberal wing of that party particularly, and I've not gotten any response like this or any e-mails, but one of the things a qualified broadcast specialist like me needs is empathy. I think the key ingredient to succeeding in a talk show like this is empathy -- and by that I mean you have to be able to, while hosting this show, imagine you're listening to it and realize, "Okay, I've done that enough. Time to get off of it," and I may be getting close here with this, but I don't think so yet, because I still sense that there are some of you people out there who are not listening. I sense that there's some of you people out there who are refusing to accept my warnings on this, and you persist in wanting to run around and live in fear of this once masterful Democrat machine that seemed to never make mistakes and always got what transported, and always defeated us no matter what we did and no matter how smartly we did it.
See, I want to keep pounding home the idea that they are in trouble on the Democrat side and on the left, and the express reason for it is twofold. One: Just, again, to demonstrate that my instincts on all this are right. (I don't know how after 18 years anybody ever doubts me, but they still do.) The second thing is, when the news itself comes from Democrats that they are hopeless, then to those of you who might doubt me, the credibility of such stories or statements coming from Democrats will help you to accept it, and there is also a third reason. Some people just have a problem with good news. "Eeeeeeh, there's gotta be a catch here somewhere," and you know those kinds of people: people who are afraid of success. I have never been afraid of success, but a lot of people are, and they're so insecure that any good news, "Ah, don't fall for that. That's just a trick. That's just temporary. Rush, you're going off half cocked here. It's not the way to do it. You need to put the gun back in the holster and hold your fire because it's not the way."
That's not me. I see trends. I'm in front of trends. It's what being "on the cutting edge of societal evolution" is all about. It's interesting the timing of this column here that I'm going to share with you in a moment, Richard Cohen. Because this week we have been talking about men and women and the way feminism has destroyed the public education system -- and it's literally -- I think feminism is one of the real reasons the Democratic Party is heading down the tubes. The Feminization of Democratic Men. There wasn't too much of that necessary when they started, but that just made the job easier for them, and you look out on the Democrat side. Look at any Democrat leader, any Democrat candidate, and you tell me: In the eyes of tradition, do you see a real man? I don't. I see wusses. I see wusses that don't even have the confidence of their own beliefs to tell these wacko leftists to shut up!
"Go ahead and keep sending us money, but shut up. You're hurting us," and of course, watching them interact with women, that's Puke City. That's even worse. But, we've been talking about this all week and most of this program's history. So here comes this piece. Just to show you how prescient we are on this program, here comes this piece from Richard Cohen today, and he's very liberal, and he's a columnist at the Washington Post. "What John Wayne can Teach Democrats -- The latest poll is not good for the Democrats, and I'm not talking here of the one showing Bush's approval rating inching up. I'm talking about the recently released Harris poll showing John Wayne one of the most popular movie stars of 2005. The one thing he and the Democratic Party have in common is that they are both dead. Wayne was the quintessential anti-Democrat. Everything he stood for, from support for the Vietnam War to antipathy to the Sixties and Seventies counterculture was in consonance with GOP positions, and more important: his iconic man-on-horseback image has been adopted by virtually the whole Republican Party.
"The Harris people tell us that Wayne, tied for third with Harrison Ford, is a particular favorite of men. Tom Hanks, #1 two years in a row is beloved by women, and both Wayne and Hanks are the choice of conservatives. Liberals chose Johnny Depp as their most popular Hollywood star. Wayne [John Wayne] personifies the gender gap, the virtually habitual way white men vote Republican. There are many reasons for this: Democratic feminism, affirmative action, et cetera, but one of them surely is that the John Wayne style of the Republican Party appeals to the cowboy in most men. Even I, eastern dude that I be, would rather follow The Duke than, say, Johnny Depp. Sorry, my man, but that's the way it is. Now, back when I met John Wayne he was a dated pro-war caricature. It was 1977. The Duke had somehow been invited to Jimmy Carter's pre-inaugural gala at the Kennedy Center.
"When he was through addressing the crowd he walked right at me, looming his huge and formidable as he seemed on the screen. John Wayne department play in Westerns. John Wayne was a western. Actually he hated horses and never rode if he could possibly avoid it. Since that night, Ronald Reagan has come and gone, and now we have another John Wayne in the White House, another rancher who doesn't ranch, a cowboy who doesn't ride. No matter. George Bush shed his family's eastern ways just as surely as Wayne did his prosaic Iowa upbringing as Marion Morrison, son of Clyde the pharmacist. Well, you can scan the length of time and the breadth of the Democratic Party and you won't find any breadth, and you won't find any John Wayne figure, either.
"None of the Democratic leaders seems to have what it takes to appeal to white male voters. But if you should happen to be in Room 241 of the Russell Senate Office Building you'll find Wayne galore, pictures of John Wayne in various Arizona settings. He's a twofer: a military hero and a westerner. Democrats beware. Okay, Bill Clinton won twice, but he ain't no cowboy. So it can be done, but in the Harris approximately Wayne is ahead of Julia Roberts, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, George Clooney, Sean Connery and Sandra Bullock. Democrats take Note: The Duke is still king." What is he really saying? He's pretty blunt with this, wouldn't you say? What's he really saying? When I say, "When you look at the Democratic Party, do you see a real man?" No. John Wayne is the quintessential icon image of a real man. So the Republicans somehow have John Wayne and the Democrats have Humpback Mountain.
Could there be... I'm sorry. I did it again. You know, Snerdley said that to me the other day and it's like somebody singing. It's the last song you hear; you can't stop whispering it, and I've been calling it that ever since Snerdley sent it to me. At any rate, could there be any greater contrast to the two parties? And when you look at the feminization of the whole Democratic Party, look at their definition of their real man. (Feminized Democrat impression) "He's so touchy, feely, sensitive, metrosexual, sprays cologne all over, spends a lot of time in the hair salons and in the department stores, missing and matching the wardrobe and so forth," and if there is any hint of a cigar or cigarette smoke, I mean, it's call-the-cops time -- and they're just wusses. They're just wusses by comparison. There's no comparison, and proof that the feminist movement has actually done harm is this, and that it's taken the party backward. Because it's a denial of tradition, denial of biology, denial of human nature. So more evidence that they just continue to implode -- this time provided by their own spokesman, Richard Cohen in the Washington Post.
RUSH: And let's not forget -- we mentioned this to you yesterday -- Maureen Dowd in her latest column has effectively come out and said, explicitly come out and said -- whoever it is, Harry Reid, Pelosi -- this whole bunch of leaders the Democrats have, they're not fit. They don't carry the message. They don't have any power. They don't have any influence; they don't have any oompff behind them. Liz Smith points out today that the "high liberal voice of Texas, Molly Ivins joined in. She writes, "Not backing Hillary." She cites the senator for not taking a clear stand on a war, failing to speak out on the Terri Schiavo, gross pandering on flag burning, all these "contemptible little dodges." So Maureen Dowd and Molly Ivins. There's a pair. Imagine being a guy, folks, and having two women like that call you out.
I mean, that's gotta be emasculating. You know, you've a eunuch. Can you imagine being called out by these two? You are so bad, you are so weak that those two call you out. I mean, one thing to be called out by real woman, but these two? I'm telling you: this is a party that is so far out of the mainstream, it is becoming laughable. I'm not taking anything for granted, anything can happen, our side can screw up royally, it doesn't matter, don't misunderstand, but look to those people within their context, it is fascinating to watch. They are plummeting off the cliff. They don't even know they've gone over the edge. It's just amazing.
RUSH: Here's Stan in Las Vegas. Stan, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Rush, I need to thank you for making any blood boil. I really enjoy it.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: Keep going. You just talked about the feminization of Democratic men, and when you did it, claimed not to be homo -- I'm saying conservatives claim not to be -- homophobic. You did it with the lisp that portrayal. You know, a lot of conservative right-wing people's ideas of what a homo [sic] or a gay individual sounds like, and if that's not homophobic, there's a problem with me and I think a whole lot of other Americans in this country.
RUSH: And that's who got you upset?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: It didn't get me upset. It just -- it's hypocritical that, "Oh, I'm not a homophobe. If I'm going to talk about them, I'm going to talk about feminists -- the feminization of Democratic men with a -- a language that comes out of my mouth that, uh, dictates or sounds like what a lot of people think the -- the -- uh..."
RUSH: Okay. All right, look. This is a fair criticism, and since you've called and raised it, let me ask you: Could you tell me what gays sound like? I'm not trying to impersonate them. I'm not trying to.
CALLER: Two gay females in my family do not sound like that. I know a number of gay people.
RUSH: I'm not imitating females. I'm trying to -- You know, I do a lot of impressions, and I'm trying to encapsulate my opinion with an impression.
CALLER: Then why don't you just talk as a regular man would talk?
RUSH: Well, because regular men don't talk like wusses.
CALLER: Wait.
RUSH: I'm not trying to talk like somebody who's gay. I'm just trying to make them soft-spoken and sound like they have been eunuchized.
CALLER: Yes. I know. But --
RUSH: No onions, you know? And that certainly doesn't describe gays.
CALLER: No, what you have done is reiterate your ideas in regards to what a homosexual should sound like, but basically he doesn't, and I gotta tell you: I'm straight. I am married.
RUSH: It sounds to me like you're the one with the prejudice. You're feeling the prejudice. I stir the prejudice in you, and you're blaming me for what you think.
CALLER: No. What I'm saying is --
RUSH: You are inferring that I'm sounding like "a gay" even though sauce that gays don't sound like anything. So they must sound like something to you --
CALLER: No. No. They don't sound like anything to me. They sound like a regular male human being talking to me. What their sexual overtones are or what their sexual...innuendoes are or whatever they may be has nothing to do with the way they talk.
RUSH: Okay, let's try it this way. What does a wuss or a wimp sound like, then? Because that's what I'm trying to sound like.
CALLER: Again --
RUSH: This homophobia business, you people have got to get it out of your minds.
CALLER: No, no.
RUSH: You label us with all these things but you're the guy that's coming up with all the definitions of how gays sound and all that.
CALLER: (laughs) Wait. You are, again, relating those individuals, wusses and wimps, to homosexuals.
RUSH: You are!
CALLER: Rock Hudson.
RUSH: You are!
CALLER: Was Rock Hudson a wimp?
RUSH: You are doing it. When I talk about the feminization of Democratic men, I am not talking about gays. Why do you assume that?
CALLER: Come on, Rush!
RUSH: You are assuming that because you have a stereotype yourself of what a conservative is.
CALLER: (chokes) Yeah?
RUSH: You do! You think that.
CALLER: And that may be 100% totally wrong, because I know some conservatives who are not within that mold.
RUSH: Have you ever heard Robin Williams do an impression of a gay?
CALLER: Uhhh, yes.
RUSH: All right. Did you call him and say it's not fair?
CALLER: No, no, no, no, no! I'm sorry. Not a gay!
RUSH: Yes! Liberal comedians make more fun of gays than I have in my whole life. They'll do it in one routine. Anyway, look, I appreciate being able to explain this and answer it to you, but it just confirms for me that it works.

My apologies for missing out on Caturday, but I was celebrating a birthday. It started out with ampurretto shots, then tequila shots (they had Mezcat, Catron, Jose Cuervcat and Gato Wabo). Later that night we moved on to meowtinis and marpurritas.
Anyway, I wanted to share some photos from the evening.

Kevin Frandsen the hero? Indeed. The Phillies got a huge ninth inning hit from Kevin Frandsen to beat the Royals, 4-3.
-With the bases loaded in the ninth, following ugly strikeouts from Domonic Brown and John Mayberry Jr., Kevin Frandsen unloaded them with a double to the wall, giving the Phillies their first home win of the season. Frandsen didn't do too much and put solid contact on it. Game winner.
-John Lannan was by no means spectacular, but he was efficient and kept the Phillies well within striking distance. Lannan tossed seven innings, giving up three runs on five hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out five. A few untimely hits cost him some runs, but overall, you couldn't ask for much more out of your rotation anchor. You'll take 7 inn./3 ER every time.
-By no means is he overpowering, but Lannan beauitfully changes speeds. I recall him registering 92 on the radar a few times, then slowing it down with a 72 mph curveball. And Lannan's location tonight was soild.
-Mike Adams made his debut and got out of the inning unscathed, but threw He got Alex Gordon swinging on a wicked off-speed pitch for the first out of the eighth. Billy Butler was able to reach on a hard hit single to left field, the only baserunner of the inning.
-No, not the Luis Mendoza from "D2:The Mighty Ducks". This Luis Mendoza kept the Phillies from gaining any steam by throwing six innings and allowing just the one run. He fanned seven Phillies and had just five reach base (two hits, three walks).
-John Mayberry had two walks, which is a small victory after walking 34 times and striking out 111 times in 479 plate appearances last season.
-After the top half of the eighth inning, a good amount of fans made a run for the exits. Am I missing something? If you stayed for eight innings and it's only a two-run game, why are you leaving? Didn't like seeing that. This wasn't the home opener where things fell apart completely in the middle innings. There was room to see a victory, and victory they would have seen.

Great hit by Frandsen, let's go for the series win tomorrow.
If my math is correct, the Phillies have won 2 of their last 3 games… Sorry, "arc"… Looking forward to hearing from you again on May 1st!
Sincerely, the winner of the bet
actually, I thought it was pretty funny thqt you offered him the bet since he'd already made it with me, and if need be, I will take the trouble to copy and paste it if he dares show up here again. You stand alone if you think your bet counted for anything.
Course the real stupidity of it was The Braindead One wagering his entire future, and thinking he could pull one over and come back May 1st. Since its pretty likely withg his ballsy mentality that he thinks he'll be able to, not to overexaggerate my importance in the equation, but the only question of interest in my mind is whether I go into complete or fractional massive verbal abuse on him for not paying the debt he incurred.
One thing for sure. The guy will be an idiot after May 1. He will wish he was gone forever, for sure.
I'm glad the bet was won, so that we can return to our erudite conversations of old without interruption. I think disagreements, negativity, as well as humor and positivity, are some of the highlights of being endowed with the right of free speech; however, nasty comments and name-calling, while not necessarily a violation of the free speech, have no place on a baseball blog, where there is no where for anyone, in the words of Justice Black, to "avert their eyes and ears." Plus, I view being on this site as a privilege and a licensed agreement between the users and the owners of the blog, which because it is a privilege and license can be revoked, especially when comments cross the line of what the owners of the site deem as "friendly banter." Good for you, Don M. and Mr. Bland. This site is my favorite of all the Phillies blogs for that reason because the majority of users are great guys, with differing and varied views, who might not always agree, but do so respectfully and often humorously, whether Ivy -League or blue-collar, neither matter on this blog, but baseball and the Phillies. Sorry for the verbose treatise, but I wanted to elucidate and convey my thoughts that I have held in the past few days. Go Frandsen! Go Phils! and Go Phillies Nation! Keep rocking.
I am a man of my word, and so I shall honor our bet and post on this site no more. Ken, I am sure you will be lauded a hero by some, and rightfully so. You, and you alone had the balls to put your "money where your mouth was". Congrats on your win, even though you and I know you were "pi**ssing in your boots" up till that last fluke hit, and horrible KC management; but you stood by your irrational phanaticism that irks me so much.
If you looked at the stats, there was really no way you could have justified believing the phils would take two of their last 3. In that regard, I made the rational bet and lost, and you the irrational one and won.
But, your chance win, im sure pales in comparison to the fact that you got rid of me, and as such; congrats.
To all my Phillies fans; pessimist and optimists alike, Go Phillies!!!!
By the way Mr. Delahanty, just to point out your hypocrisy, If you see the other posts(read above) involving this wager, the only one that is, and have been name calling and making nasty comments are "your buddies". So, Good luck on that!!!
Just accidently read arc's supposed congratulations. Even in these, he shows an arrogant, holier-than-thou attitude, claiming basically that the "irrational" viewpoint won, as if it were all a matter of some bizarre decision of the fates, and that he was still right. He then goes on to call Mr. Delahanty a hypocrite, but also says he's never called anyone names.
I won't miss him (or it) whatsoever, because I don't normally read tripe. I hope he goes back to the slime pond wriggled out of and stays there. For days, he turned this site into a sandbox yelling match, and we should all stay above that level.
in reply to big ed's reply. you're so right big guy i agree with you wholeheartedly. this is the best site . and we all don't agree on everything, but we all have the same goal also. and that is to see the phils win. i have respect for all the commentors here, sometimes people have responded to some of my comments. and if they weren't the same views as mine? well i'm not gettin my panties in a twist about it. and i have a rule for myself. don't take anything personal that people say. they're just making an opinionated comment. god bless all you guys.
You never know from day to day. Baseball is awesome.
Time for Cole Hamels to be Cole Hamels tomorrow
My apologies, as I cannot believe I forgot all of the hard-working Phillies Nation team members who consistently produce excellent and informative articles, up-dates, and analysis. Kudos! Here's hoping Cole is "lights out" tomorrow.
I am going to give Dom a pass this one time with that 9th inning at bat. A little over hyped to be a hero, those pitches he swung at where on the ground out of Hollins hand. In addition JMJ did get robbed because that third strike was a ball all night, but saying that after Dom's at bat I would not have minded if JMJ was first ball fast ball swinging, like Frandsen did. Holland had to throw a first pitch strike after 3 walks. Chase showed what makes him the man twice tonight, first letting a very hittable pitch go by to give JRoll a chance to steal a base, then in the 9th 3-1 count knowing they needed base runners took a pitch. That is confidence that he is the man. I thought Lannan pitched a great game for your #5 pitcher against a pretty good offensive team going 7 only giving up 3 runs if he can do that 3 or 4 times out 5 starts he will be worth the money he is getting. Can Frandsen play RF his is batting 1.000 right?
Hot dayyyym! Happy camper here. Very pleased with Lannan, and the unbelievable PA's in the ninth making Holland throw to them. Then KF comes through again. Reminds me of old Ted Sizemore from the the late 70's, just gets it done when you really need it. Or as HK used to say "Time and time again, Ted Sizemore comes through. Way to go KF.
Lannan was prepared and did a fine job. Frandsen is golden tonight.
I too wonder why so many "fans" left the game early when the margin is only two runs and the Phillies still have some life yet entering the last inning. Well they missed a great 'walk-off" ending with Frandsen's big hit. I read too that tonight's crowd is the smallest in four years (below 40,000).
I hope the manager will give Frandsen more playing time besides pinch hitting, It would be a shame to waste Frandsen as he continues to sit on the bench.
Thankfully, Lannan pitched decently into the late innings to avoid the use of "middle" relievers that are struggling right now.
I noticed there is a trend developing with Dominic Brown's failures in hitting with men on base. He has just one RBI in the early going. Can't help but think about what Darin Ruf might have present with RISP (smile),
I managed to catch the last inning of the Braves-Cubs in Atlanta with MLB Extra Innings free preview on Comcast. Another amazing walk-off win involving the Upton brothers, each mashing a HR to tie and win the game for the Braves. The team have one scary power-packed line-up..woo!
I'll admit that I was one of those who left the game in the top of 9th. Not due to lack faith in a Phillies comeback (although I was by no means confident we'd pull it out either) but rather due to the fact that neither I nor my fiance could feel our extremities. Also we live in Wilmington so waiting to the end woulda meant an extra 30 minutes in the parking lot. I can honestly say I would have left the game regardless of the score or who was up. We both usually stay til the last out regardless, but for some reason, we found it particularly cold.
Here is a simple rule – NEVER leave the game. Especially when your home team is losing. For you lose the opportunity to see the most beautiful thing in the world – the comeback! I have seen comebacks from 7 runs down. You must suffer in order to obtain the joy!
Winner winner
chicken dinner.
I wont be watching every Sat and Tue night till June 4th.
I can be bribed into not watching any games.
I will miss you ARC.
Arc, come back in May.. We'll miss you.
great outing by John Lannan aka Mr. Norwegian Wood John Lennon, and great hitting by Kevin Frandzen, who is showing early on he can swing the heavy lumber.
nice win for the Phils, and reminiscent of the their thrilling Game 5 victory in the 1980 world series coming from behind to win 3-2 before coming back to Philly to clinch it all behind Steve Carlton and the Tugger.
The Royals are owned, btw, by a division of Wal Mart.
Art K, Philly
Winning is the only important thing. It was exciting and so happy for the W.
But please, analyze this?
The payroll on the Phils team is stacked on key players as it should be – and the hero's of last nights games are the #5 pitcher – whom I never had much respect for (especially after hitting Chase Utley) and a backup infielder who probably will not see much more playing time, regardless of his heroics last night and kudos to Quintero who was able to snag a sleeping Tejada off third base (well done).
As Ricky Bo said in the post game show, a PH is looking for one thing and one thing only, a fastball to drive and there it was. A gift from the lowly Royals (who cares if they tore up ST?) –
when the starting lineup was announced for the Royals I think I recognized perhaps 2 names (Tejada and Francoeur) , the starting pitcher who has never settled into a starting role (he did start 25 games last year and was 8-10) and sports a career ERA of 5.31 coupled with a WHIP of 1.52 struck out 7 Phils?
Hey, I'll take a win anyday, and anyway but its time for the big money to start earning their keep. Lets start with Hamels today. Throw in some Revere, Rollins, Howard, Young, the highly touted Mr. Brown with RISP and on and on…
I have to admit i was part of the crowd who trekked out before the game ended yesterday. It felt like a waking nightmare of 2012 came back to kill us alive. BUT today is very different , I was glued to my seat 7th inning onwards. I've seen our team do it before , and they did! We devoted Phillies Phans live for this! Tomrw knowing Cole Hamels style, if he gets beaten the first time around, he'll come back with a vengeance in Game 3! Go Phils!
I hope Frandsen gets some more playing time.Maybe he is a late bloomer.
Go Cole!
arc won't come back. It's a shame because I would love for him to be proven wrong AGAIN. Don, I was a little nervous for ya, man. Guess if you run into Kevin Frandsen anywhere you need to buy him a beer!
As for the game….well….I had this function to go to that ended a little before 9. Turned on the radio on the way home and was immediately depressed. BUT…I knew they had a chance so I turned on the TV and proceeded to watch one of the most enjoyable 9th innings ever. WOW. I mean just WOW. Although what the hell was Domonic Brown doing up there???
With Cole going today they have a great chance to be 3-3 at the end of the weekend. I think he pitches a pretty good game and leaves Opening Day in Atlanta.
I was sweating a little – and while I didn't think Frandsen would clear the bases with a walkoff winner … I was confident that he would at least make contact there.
And I would've held up to my end of the bet …….. I was just tired of a certain someone trying to bully fans/readers of this site … so I decided to step up and take one for the team .. just so happens that it worked out in my favor.
Though I honestly don't care if he comes back today, tomrw, or May 1st …. not tying to turn fans off – just trying to show that it's alright to be confident in the Phillies from time to time
As last night's game only had scant gripping moments, my mind wandered to today's lineup. I wondered if both Galvis and Fransden would get shots, and if Mayberry played for something other than gut expectation, I just haven't run across an explanation. Mayberry against Big Game doesn't seem too promising, but after all, this like all sports, is The Sport of the Unexpected.
I have no doubt RyHo will play.I might think about spotting Bennie a day, which puts Mayberry in ther lineup in a different spot Anywqay, that's the Chuckster's job.
This really has become an easy to remember long series. Major reversals in the first two, and two very good pitchers trying to claim 2 of 3. If Bo Jack and Sweeney had been part of the drill and thrown out the first pitches in Games 2 and 3, I might even go so far as to call it the Perfect Series. Well, if the Phils win today would be another pre req, but that's there for the taking.
Check out the rightfielder…..

In checking out the Pigs opener the other day, the results were pitiful, and although I've slept since then, I re mem mem re remember Jake was Jake, Sutes was yuck, and Tyler Cloyd was doing a Roger Craig '62 Mets imitation. Friday night, the score indicated don't even look at this, but some positive stuff last night as they overtimes the Cuse. Adam Morgan, boxscore wise appears to have pitched 6 solid innings (1 longball), and the fascination with Cesar Hernandez had spirit with 4 base hits. Forgotten Joe Savery picked up the save with an inning and .667. But as always, the big story was the multi hit game by that Ernie Banks play alike, The Mart that's known as Mini. 2 ribs, to boot.
Jake had another less than scintillating outing, giving up a pair of hits in an inning, but no walks, so his WHIP still trails Chris Davis's BA. Unfortunately, Cody K'd 3 times, but so did Babe Ruth once or twice. Splitsville on the series with a win today.
I was so angry , watching the game in the 9th. Utley, Howard, and Young work the pitcher for 3 straight walks. First pitch to Brown, right down the middle, taken for a stricke followed by 2 in the dirt that he swings at. Mayberry, strkie on right down the middle and then called out. I'm yelling at Frandsen: hit the 1st pitch!
The rest is his-to-ry!
Lannan kept us in the ballgame!
Q nice pickoff of Tejada. Nice play by MY being there to catch it.
Wait, you caught it? Who's on first? What's on second?

Why Do People Leave Negative Blog Comments On Blogs?
Because they come in a package. The more and longer you blog, the more comments you get. Comments come in the form of encouragement, appreciation, praise, information, but they can also be in the nature of spam, non-constructive criticism, and absolute nonsense.
A couple of weeks ago, I received my first negative comment and surprising myself, a chuckle escaped from my mouth.
That chuckle momentarily made me think I was able to take it in my stride and let it slide, but after a few minutes of re-reading the comment, I felt a surge of hot madness boiling in my chest.
That comment was in response to these pictures from the 5th day of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials.
Clown? What clown?!? I don't have a big red nose, lipstick-enlarged mouth, white pasty face, or stars for eyes.
Poor gina has never seen clowns in her/his/its life.
After recovering from my shock and disbelief that someone would make the effort to leave the name, email address and care to think of mean things to say in an attempt to make me feel bad-whatever, I decided that I should not let this low-class parasite of a person named gina ruin my confidence about my makeup skills and the way I look.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Earth, Space Sciences
National security depends on science and technology. The United States relies on Los Alamos National Laboratory for the best of both. No place on Earth pursues a broader array of world-class scientific endeavors.
- Climate, Ocean and Sea Ice Modeling (COSIM)»
- Earth and Environmental Sciences Division»
- Intelligence and Space Research»
Earth and space sciences span from the Earth's core, to the Sun's atmosphere, to stellar explosions at the infancy of our universe.
Our research and development programs support each of the Lab's three missions: ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the U.S. nuclear deterrent; reducing global threats; and solving emerging national security challenges, especially in energy security. This capability has elements spread across the Laboratory.
By conjoining basic research and weapons program needs in the earth and space sciences, our research has expanded rapidly.
Today, we continue to address our original missions but also apply our capabilities to a wide range of national and energy security issues, from assessing the safety of underground carbon dioxide sequestration sites to monitoring and analyzing human and natural activities and processes from space.
Research directions
- Atmospheric science
- Carbon management
- Climate processes
- Computational science
- Ecology
- Energy systems analysis
- Engineering
- Environmental science
- Environmental transport
- Geochemistry
- Geology
- Geomaterials
- Geophysics
- Hydrology
- Monitoring, measurement, verification
- Nuclear weapons effects
- Predictive modeling
- Repository science
- Waste characterization
- Water resources
The Los Alamos focus in this area began in 1963 with the Laboratory support for verification of the Limited Test Ban Treaty and to ensure the containment of nuclear tests. It had the additional goal of enhancing U.S. capability in the broader arena of nuclear threat detection.

Update on Josephine Briggs and the NCCAM
Dr. Gorski is in the throes of grant-writing, so I'm filling in for him today by following up on a topic introduced a few months ago. It involves a key medical player in the U.S. government: Dr. Josephine Briggs, Director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM).
Steve Novella and I first encountered Dr. Briggs at the 2nd Yale Research Symposium on Complementary and Integrative Medicine in March, 2010. I reported here that she seemed well-meaning and pro-science but that she also seemed naive to the political realities of her office and to much of the content of "CAM" (as illustrated by her recommending the NCCAM website, which is full of misinformation; previously I'd noticed her unfortunate innocence of "acupuncture anesthesia," which is to be expected of most academics but not of the CAM Explicator-in-Chief).

Fairweather Friends "Unlike" Romney on Facebook
Jason Mick
November 13, 2012 9:13 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Romney never fully conquered social media platform
When it comes to social networking, one cannot deny that reelected American President Barack Obama's campaign team thoroughly trumped
Republican challenger Mitt Romney's team
Even a late push by Romney in Facebook "likes" was unable to close the gap, with the final count being nearly
in Obama's favor. Mitt Romney can take pride in that analysts showed his smaller legion of fans to be more active in sharing content and liking his posts.
But as the President
celebrates the title of "Most Popular Tweet in History"
, some of those same once-engaged Romney fans are abandoning their former Facebook friend. Mitt Romney is seeing his social media stock rapidly sink. A site called "
Disappearing Romney
" is tracking this trend real time -- updating how many fans his page has.
In the last 18 hours former Gov. Romney was losing nearly 1,000 supporters an hour, as each hour on average he was "unliked" by 982 former social media buddies.
Romney's former fans are "unliking" him at a steady rate.

The former Massachusetts governor's Facebook effort was marred in the days leading up to the elections by allegations that some of his "likes" were
due to some kind of glitch
(or according to conspiracy theorists "hacking") on Facebook. A number of people complained that their accounts mysteriously "liked" Romney and could not be changed.

Of course take the President's social media cachet with a grain of salt. Social media's most active members tend to skew to a younger demographic, and the younger demographic also tends to be remarkably consistent at being inconsistent in terms of voting and political fundraising.
In elections that are often decided by narrow margins in battleground states, one must wonder if a candidate who loses the social media battle by such a wide margin will be able to win in future elections, as social media's influence grows by the year.
Disappearing Romney
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Thunderstorms off the northwest coast of Western Australia are associated with a tropical low located further northwest. A cold front with an associated cloud band and embedded thunderstorms can be seen moving across southern Queensland and far northeast New South Wales. The cold front extends to a low pressure system located over southern Tasmanian Sea. Low cloud is visible along the southern coasts of the country in the cool southwesterly airstream behind the cold front. A high pressure ridge keeps most of the southern interior of the continent cloud free.

Sushi rolls and a courtesan's undergarments*: The RBS chatter
In October 2006, RBS established a business model that sat derivatives traders in close proximity to primary submitters and "encouraged the two groups to communicate without restriction." Emails between traders and submitters reveal that unfettered correspondence was what followed.
The UK's Financial Services Authority and US Department of Justice and Commodity Futures Trading Commission this morning announced fines totalling over $610m for RBS relating to failings around the setting of Libor between January 2006 to March 2012.
The FSA's final notice revealed that in October 2006, RBS established a business model that sat derivatives traders in close proximity to primary submitters, creating a combined short-term markets desk and heightening the risk that traders "would seek improperly to influence primary submitters".
Stephen Hester, chief executive of RBS, said in a statement: "Libor manipulation is an extreme example of a selfish and self-serving culture that took hold in parts of the banking industry during the financial boom. We will use the lessons learned from this episode as further motivation to reject and change the vestiges of that culture. RBS is making substantial progress overall."
Here, Financial News picks out some of the highlights – or lowlights, depending on your view – from the correspondence revealed in the FSA's final notice and the CFTC's announcement.
The following email and telephone extracts have been lifted directly lifted from regulators' documents and have not been corrected for spelling and grammar.
• August 20, 2007 A senior yen trader says: "this libor setting is getting nutss", later adding "the jpy libor is a cartel now".
He goes on to say: "its just amazing how libor fixing can make you that much money...its a cartel now in london[.] they smack all the 1yr irs ..and fix it very high or low".
• December 5, 2007 A yen trader responds to news that Libor was going higher by saying: "'ucksake. keep ours low if poss. don't understand why needs to go up in yen." A fellow trader responds: "no reason dude[,] [Bank C] and [Bank D] went high yest", to which the trader says: "send the boys round." A manager then added: "pure manipulation going on".
• September 19, 2008 A broker, talking about wash trades, say to derivatives trader B: "can you do me a favour... you're not going to get paid any bro for this and we'll send you lunch around for the whole desk. Can you flat... can you switch two years semi at 5 3/4 , 100 yards... between [Panel Bank 1[. Just get... take it from [Panel Bank 1], give it back to [Panel Bank 1].
• December 3, 2008 Derivatives trader B expresses concern to Broker A that putting trades through SwapsWire would lead RBS to noticing he'd executed wash trades. He says: "This will be a fucking disaster now." RBS didn't notice the wash trades.
• December 4, 2008 A Swiss franc trader asks a primary submitter to lower Swiss libor, to which the submitter responds: "NO." When asked what it was worth, the Swiss franc trader says: "ive got some sushi rolls from yesterday?".
• May 2009 A Swiss franc trader says "PRETTY PLEASE" when asking a submitter for a higher rate, adding: "if u did that[,] i would lvoe [sic] u forever..." When he is offered an even higher submission than asked for, he says "if u did that i would come over there and make love to you[,] your choice".
• September 14, 2009 Derivatives trader B asks primary submitter A to lower the Libor fixings. When the primary submitter asked the trader "make your mind up" in jest, the trader responds: "im like a whores drawers".
• March 3, 2010 Broker B tells primary submitter B that if "u cud see ur way to a small drop there might be a steak in it for ya, haha," to which the submitter responded "noted :-)"
• September 24, 2010 Derivatives trader C makes a request to derivatives trader B to move JPY LIbor up 2bps. Derivatives Trader B responds: "will mention it, no emails anymore, after tom"
• November 22, 2010 Derivatives trader B responds to a request to move Libor by with the message: "at the moment the FED are all over us about libors." Derivatives trader C then asks: "that's for USD... [don't] think anyone cares the [sic] JPY Libor." Derivatives trader B then responds: "not yet, I will walk it over to them [submitters]"
• November 24, 2010 Primary submitter B rejects a request from derivatives trader C to move the JPY Libor up via email, only to call him back and say: "We're just not allowed to have those conversations over Bloomberg anymore. [Laughing]." He later says: "leave it with me and it won't be a problem."

June 26, 2013 —
BLOOMING GROVE TOWNSHIP, PA — A Rockland County, NY gun manufacturer is looking to relocate and expand into Pennsylvania due mainly to increased production and stricter New York State gun laws, company officials said. They said they hope to break ground in Blooming Grove Township later this year and employ local residents.
Kahr Firearms Group of Pearl River hopes to purchase the dormant Pike County Business Park, a 620-acre tract, for reportedly $2 million. About 146 acres would be used for a 40,000-square-foot building to house the company's corporate headquarters. The company has already hired two engineering firms and is interviewing local candidates to fill an operations manager position, said Frank Harris, Kahr's vice president of marketing. He added that the company hopes to employ between 80 and 100 people at the proposed facility.
The township supervisors have approved minor revisions to the covenants and restrictions for the industrial park. "Everything is moving along smoothly," said another Kahr spokesperson, Sheryl Gallup, though she cautioned that "this is not a done deal yet."
Harris said the relocation would involve only the corporate headquarters in New York. The expansion would consist of the construction of a manufacturing plant in the Pike business park. The company currently has two manufacturing plants, in Massachusetts and Minnesota, and those are staying put, Harris said.
The first step in a multi-phased plan would be site preparation, clearing of trees and office construction, which could happen late this year, according to a news release. That would be followed by the relocation of company corporate offices and the research and development department. In the second phase, manufacturing operations would be expanded to the business park to meet the increasing demand for Kahr's products, Thompson, Auto-Ordnance and Magnum Research.
"We have to keep up with the demand," Gallup said.
The "unreasonable" gun laws in New York also are a driving force for the proposed move, Harris said. He said the company had been researching a property in rural New York for its expansion when the new state gun laws went into effect. The laws in part expanded the definition of an assault rifle, reduced the number of magazines from 10 to seven, and placed more restrictions on purchasing ammunition.
"It had a very large impact on us," Harris said.
In the news release, Harris further said, "We are grateful for the warm welcome and the business opportunity extended by the Pike County Industrial Park Development Group/Business Development Corporation to expand our company and relocate its headquarters office. The Pennsylvania group has demonstrated tremendous support of our operations, and Kahr looks to move forward with the project without delay. It's good for our business and also for other businesses in the area to build a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with the community. We anticipate generating significant numbers of revenue and jobs for the local Northeastern Pennsylvania economy with the construction of facilities, expansion of manufacturing, and need for local vendors."

I think everyone needs someone or thing that keeps them inspired and really motivates them to follow their dreams. That person for me is Stevie Nicks. She is one of the many magical, fairy Godmothers that I look up to in my life and she has been for a very long time.
Her timeless, mystical and emotive persona has become something very familiar to me over the years. As a little kid I can remember being totally enthralled by her songs and thinking how she so eloquently put into words the things that live in my imagination and spirit.
The many songs that she has penned and performed solo and as the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac have become staples on my ipod and they have been the energy behind so many journal entries, projects and writing of my own.
I've known my entire life that I came here to be a storyteller. I tell stories with my cards, I tell stories with my garments, I tell stories with my poems and songs. Ms. Nicks has given me the courage to embrace my place as a storyteller.
So let me ask, "What story are you telling? "
Stevie Nicks has been pulling us into her little world since the 70s and decade after decade she has given us wonderful music.
Here is my favorite version of Edge of Seventeen… such a dark and moody song that really energizes me.
And here is a wonderful song from her MUST HAVE new album IN YOUR DREAMS! Its called Annabel Lee, from the poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

Police: Teen drove 101 in 55 mph zoneMarch 19,2014Police: Teen
drove 101 mph
BENNINGTON — A local teenager is facing criminal charges after police said he was clocked driving at 101 mph on Route 7 in Bennington on Feb. 17.
Dylan M. McKinney-Lafountain, 16, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court Monday in misdemeanor charges of negligent driving and driving at excessive speed. McKinney-Lafountain pleaded innocent to the charges and was released without bail.
Officer David Faden of the Bennington Police Department said in an affidavit that he was running a stationary radar on Route 7's southbound lane near Exit 1 around 6 p.m. Feb. 17. The speed limit in the area is 55 mph.
Faden said his radar showed a reading of 101 mph and he saw a vehicle, whose driver was later identified as McKinney-Lafountain, coming toward him at a "high rate of speed."
According to Faden, McKinney-Lafountain seemed to note the police car ahead of him and "dramatically applied his brakes" but the vehicle continued to move at speeds of about 80 mph to 90 mph.
Faden said he stopped the vehicle near the Bennington welcome center and asked McKinney-Lafountain why he was driving so fast. McKinney-Lafountain said he thought he was only driving about 70 mph.
Faden called McKinney-Lafountain's mother to the scene to take custody of her son and bring him to the police station for processing.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...
