August 9, 2012 —
Gazing skyward over the last week, the heavens alternated between cloudy and bright. In between showers, the sun blazed and people frolicked. Not wanting to be left out in the rain, I packed an umbrella and headed off in search of adventure while keeping one eye on the weather. With the "dog days of summer" right on schedule this past Saturday, the relentless heat ushered in the return of an-all American local favorite: the Jeffersonville Jamboree. Weeks of anticipation and preparation culminated with tremendous success, and the promise of "great food, unique vendors, kids' activities and exhibits" did not disappoint.
Entertainment provided by blue grass/country faves The Latimer Brothers Band wafted through the air as kids cavorted through the petting zoo and giant inflatables scattered across Lions Field. I chatted with friends and neighbors for hours as folks continued to stream in throughout the afternoon, and despite the broiling heat, the day was a shining example of country livin' at its best.
Ominous clouds and intermittent rain prevented me from making it to the first annual Monticello Days, but my pals on that end of the county tell me that the afternoon was fun, even without my attendance. Designed to boost awareness of the recently completed beautification program, and boost tourism, the inaugural affair was spearheaded by Les Kristt, who was joined by Sullivan County historian John Conway in promoting the celebration. "This is a rallying cry," Conway said. "Business owners have decided to band together and reinvent themselves, and Broadway is bigger and better than ever before." Kristt concurs, saying that "the attitude about Monticello is changing, and that's probably the biggest thing that's going to draw people and businesses, that they see us as a family community." Wouldn't you know, just as I leave Monticello (I moved a few weeks ago), things are looking up for the historic village. I have always been fond of the place and look forward to the resurgence of its popularity as a destination.
Forced to make decisions, I had to forgo opening night of the Shandelee Music Festival (www.shandelee.org [2]), knowing that there are a few twilight time concerts on the horizon. The roster of international artists is always impressive and the music festival continues to provide enchanting concerts under a blanket of stars. Pianist Magazine has declared Shandelee "one of the finest music festivals in the world" and, (as I recall), I once dubbed it "The Carnegie Hall of the Catskills." So rest assured, the 2012 Sunset Concert Series is in my future.
The reason that I missed Shandelee is twofold: Huey Lewis and the News and Joe Cocker performing together on Sunday night at Bethel Woods ( www.bethelwoodscen [3]
ter.org ). Lewis opened the show and thousands were instantly transported to the '80s and the MTV heyday of this hugely successful pop rock band. Having racked up an impressive string of top-10 singles (19 to be precise) on Billboard's Hot 100, the singer performed many of his signature songs, including "The Heart of Rock and Roll," "I Want a New Drug," "Perfect World" and "The Power of Love," which was nominated for an Academy Award ("Back to the Future") in 1986.
With his trusty harmonica momentarily at his side, Huey and Co entertained as only they can. "As is our custom, it's time to do an a capella song" the crooner shouted to the crowd. "So if you know it, sing along—don't be shy, Bethel!" Hit after hit washed over the audience, reminding me that this phenomenal group has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Intrigued by the pairing of squeaky-clean-cut Lewis on a double bill with the once controversial Cocker, I queried some of the folks in neighboring seats, wondering which performer was the draw for them. "Both," seemed to be the popular response, and I remembered that Cocker is best known for covering some of the worlds most beloved Beatles tunes.
This concert marks Cocker's third outing in Sullivan County, the first being a last-minute booking in August of 1969, and he reminisced momentarily, describing the Woodstock Music Festival as being "like an eclipse—a very special day." Joe's signature gritty voice has caught up with his age, and even though the man sitting next to me asked if he was 80, I assured him that the singer had just turned 68. That said, Cocker has mellowed a bit and left some of his audacious antics behind, but his voice is still mesmerizing and his rendition of the Billy Preston/Dennis Wilson smash "You Are So Beautiful to Me" was so fraught with emotion, it brought the house to its feet as the last notes climbed toward the stars.
But the stars on stage aren't the only ones to keep our eyes on. The annual Perseid meteor shower (www.star [4]
date.org/nightsky/meteors) is just around the corner, and in the wee hours of August 12 (between 12 midnight and 5 a.m.) the night will be ablaze with shooting stars. This year, the prediction is awesome, with an expected 100 meteors per hour promised to be streaming through the atmosphere and raining upon us, clear skies permitting.
Considering the intense storms that have recently occurred, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and planning to stay up late on the 11th. As the clock strikes midnight, I'll be keeping my eyes on the northeast portion of the heavens. If you've never experienced the annual wonder, I urge you to take a nap and do so. The Perseids is (IMHO) one of the most magnificent displays Mother Nature provides, and is something everyone should experience. With no effort involved, even I can accomplish this simple goal. All we have to do is look up, make a wish—and gaze at the stars.

2. Description:
CJC-1295 is a derivative of human GH-releasing factor1-29(HGRF1-29). HGRF1-29 is a naturally occurring peptide that is actually a truncated form of a larger peptide that binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and causes the release of growth hormone. CJC-1295 has four amino acids substituted in its chain that result in strong binding to serum albumin and prolong its half-life in the body.
Because of the way CJC-1295 is engineered its half life has been extended from ~7 minutes to greater than 7 days!. This is convenient as it means the product only needs to be injected 1-2 times per week for continuously elevated levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and IGF-1. A single subcutaneous (sc) injection results in measurable quantities of CJC-1295 in the blood for up to 13 days. Additionally, a single dose of 60 ug/kg of CJC-1295 results in elevated levels of growth hormone (125%) while the pulsatile secretion of GH is maintained. Furthermore, 60 ug/kg of CJC-1295 elevated IGF-1 levels to the upper limit of normal. A dose of 30 ug/kg of CJC-1295 given weekly maintained its response with no evidence of desensitization.
The advantage of using CJC-1295 instead of actual HGH injections

Broward County's Civil Citation Program provides an innovative alternative to formal arrests for youth under age 18 who have committed misdemeanor crimes. Working in partnership with local law enforcement, the state attorney, the public defender and the court system, the program ensures that juvenile offenders receive appropriate consequences for their actions. These consequences are designed to curtail future criminal offenses.
Law enforcement officers have the discretion to issue a civil citation in lieu of an arrest to a first time misdemeanor offender.
Examples of consequences:
Other program elements:
Program Success
After successfully meeting the requirements of the Civil Citation program, the juvenile's record will be closed and will only reflect the successful completion of the Civil Citation program with no record of arrest.
If, for any reason, a participant fails to complete their assigned sanctions or are charged with another crime while in the program, he/she will be immediately arrested and taken into custody for their original offense.
The State Attorney's Office will then evaluate the need to pursue further legal action.
For more information on the Civil Citation Program, call 954-357-6551 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Watterson High School boys basketball team rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit to defeat Brookhaven 56-52 in overtime in a Division II district final March 8 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum.
The second-seeded Eagles stretched their winning streak to 18 games and improved to 24-1. Watterson will face Sandusky Perkins or Toledo Scott in a regional semifinal at 6:15 p.m. Thursday, March 14, at Bowling Green State University.
The top-seeded Bearcats finished 21-4.
Guard Randal Clarkson scored nine of his game-high 23 points in the second quarter to help Brookhaven take a 32-21 halftime lead, and he converted a three-point play with 6 minutes left in the third quarter to put the Bearcats ahead 35-23.
But guard Cody Calhoun scored 14 of his team-high 19 points in the second half and overtime to help Watterson rally for the win.
Calhoun made two free throws to put the Eagles up 55-52 with 20.3 seconds left, and after Clarkson missed a 3-pointer, post player Matt Hughes got the rebound, was fouled and made a free throw with 11.9 seconds remaining to ice the game.
"What a battle," Watterson coach Vince Lombardo said. "We did an outstanding job with our half-court defense in the second half and that's what made the difference."

Police in Kenya have seized more than two tons of ivory worth $1.15 million. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
"This is a big catch, the biggest ever single seizure of ivory at the port of Mombasa," said Kiberenge Seroney, the port's police officer in charge of criminal investigations. "We fail to understand where one gathers the courage to park such enormous quantities of ivory, hoping that they can slip through our security systems."
Poaching is a growing problem for sub-Saharan African countries reliant on rich wildlife in their game reserves to draw foreign tourists.
Heavily-armed criminals kill elephants and rhinos for their tusks, which are used for ornaments and in some folk medicines. Most of the elephant tusks smuggled from Africa ends up in Asian countries, according to police.
On Jan. 5, poachers killed a family of 11 elephants in the biggest single mass shooting of the animals on record in Kenya, wildlife officials said.
Gitau Gitau, an assistant commissioner with the Kenya Revenue Authority, said paperwork accompanying a container at the port of Mombasa declared it contained decorative stones.
The carcasses of a family of elephants have been found in a wildlife reserve in Kenya - the victims of the worst massacre on record by ivory poachers there. NBC News' Rohit Kachroo reports.
"But when we opened it we found elephant tusks," said Gitau as he displayed the ivory. "The ivory was originating from Rwanda and Tanzania and was to be exported to Indonesia."

Back to Lattimore, what's the difference in his injury to Willis McGahee? McGahee was drafted in the first, so why is Lattimore projected by many to fall to the 4th? Is it because he's had two knee injuries? Just curious.
I would have to think Colbert's mindset going into this draft, more than other drafts, would be to avoid any risks in the first four rounds. If Lattimore fell to the fifth, yea why not. I really think Bradshaw is the hinge point on whether they pull the trigger on Lattimore in the fourth round. If Bradshaw is signed, I think KC feels a lot safer knowing he can gamble on this guy. Personally, I would not draft him. Why take the risk when you a lot more holes in a competitive division.

on & body type.
McGahee looked to be a better NFL prospect. He didn't put up several years of stats like Lattimore but his '02 year was monsterous over 1,7oo yards & 28 TDS on an undefeated team until the bowl game. He was arguably a Top 5 pick. Still the first RB taken even over Larry Johnson @ #27. McGahee was an Adrian Peterson type... Speed, Power, & wiggle. The question is did the injury really set him back? He has had a productive NFL career but he wasn'tthe impact player he was projected to be. IMO the injury really impacted his NFL production.
Magahees's '02 tape ranks up there with some of the best. The comparison to AP's impact on the game is pretty accurate before his injury. He was a game changer in college and IMO was never the same player after his injury.

Lattimore seems more Marcus Dupree than Willis McGahee/Frank Gore. He seems like a charity case to a certain extent.

Some Wisconsin Democrats say evidence shows Republican Governor Scott Walker was involved in illegal campaigning when he was Milwaukee County executive. But that's not the way the county's district attorney sees it.
John Chisholm announced Friday the investigation that started six months before Walker became governor has ended without any charges against Walker. Four former aides and a campaign donor have been convicted on charges ranging from theft to misconduct in office.
Assembly minority leader Peter Barca says Walker should take responsibility for people he trusted, hired and supervised. And Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate says he hopes all documents related to the case are made public.
A judge has ordered that documents gathered in the investigation remain under wraps.
Walker says he's glad the investigation is over. He's always maintained he didn't know county workers were illegally campaigning on the job.

Innocents lost
Grief-stricken family and friends of boy and woman killed Christmas Day raise funds for memorial
By André Coleman 01/16/2013
Family members and friends of a Glendale woman and her cousin, both killed in a Christmas Day traffic collision in Pasadena that occurred after a car being chased by authorities ran a red light and rammed into the minivan they were in, are inconsolable and trying to raise money for their memorial services.
"Right now, the whole family can't believe it. They can't do anything but cry and sob," Kathleen Ong Tan posted on Facebook last week. Kathleen's 25-year-old sister, Tracey Ong Tan of Glendale, was killed in the crash, along with their 11-year-old cousin, Kendrick Ng.
Injured were the mother and sister of the boy as well as his father, who all reside in Daly City. The family was returning to Glendale from skating at the Pasadena ice rink when the collision occurred at around 8 p.m., Kathleen Ong Tan wrote in an email.
The crash was tangentially connected with the murder earlier that day of longtime Pasadena community activist Victor McClinton, who was gunned down in front of his home. According to police, McClinton was standing outside his house on Newport Avenue when a car driven by the supposedly intended target of the shooting, Damion Taylor, 24, passed by.
Taylor, who police say had known gang connections, was also shot but survived. Taylor has since been released from Huntington Hospital, according to Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra. Three men have been arrested in connection with the shootings, which occurred at about 11 a.m. that day.
Later that evening, authorities say 22-year-old Darrell Lee Williams was seen driving a silver Dodge Durango near the place where McClinton was killed. The vehicle resembled an SUV that had been spotted near the crime scene. After the Durango went through a stop sign at the corner of North Marengo Avenue and Claremont Street, a black, unmarked FBI vehicle — accompanied by a Pasadena police officer — followed it. Police say witnesses told them a gun had been thrown from the Durango, which authorities say was traveling at about 60 mph down densely residential Marengo Avenue before running a red light at Marengo and Maple Street, a connector road to the Foothill (210) Freeway. That was where it collided with the Ng family's minivan.
The FBI agent driving the SUV is a member of the Safe Streets Task Force, first established in 2007 to take down sibling gang members Franklin and Dwayne Thompson. Authorities allege the two ran a narcotics and weapons operation that reached the East Coast and used a big-rig truck to transport drugs and guns into Pasadena, where the contraband was then sold to other gang members. That operation led to 12 local murders in 2007, according to authorities. The task force investigation of the gang's activities led to 89 arrests, among them the Thompson brothers, and 28 federal indictments.
Williams, of Pasadena, and Brittany Washington, 22, of Los Angeles, were arrested after the chase and charged with two counts of murder and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the deaths of Ong Tan, whose last name was initially misspelled by police and, subsequently, by this and other newspapers, and Ng. If convicted, the two face life in prison. Williams is being held on $3.1 million bail. Washington is being held on $2.1 million bail. No charges were filed against Pasadena residents Jada Mays, 18, and Damauria Hannah, 22, who were riding in the Durango Williams was driving that night.
Since the crash, the deaths of Ong Tan and Ng have been largely overlooked by the mainstream media, which has focused much of its attention on the shooting death of McClinton, a Los Angeles Sheriff's Department technician. That incident was the second local shooting incident in three days involving a sheriff's employee. Around 3 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 22, an unnamed deputy driving around the area of Harriet Street and Lincoln Avenue — less than one mile from the McClinton shooting — was riding in a vehicle with his brother when the two men came under fire. In that incident, a passenger in a dark-colored Lexus fired three times at the deputy, according to Pasadena Deputy Chief Darryl Qualls. The vehicle was hit once. No arrests have been made in that case, Qualls said.
Also injured in the Christmas Day crash were Irene Ng, 52, and her daughter, Crystal Ng, 16, who were admitted to Huntington Hospital and released on Dec. 30 after being treated for broken bones and concussions. Kenric Ng, 49, Crystal and Kendrick's father, also suffered minor injuries. He was treated at Huntington and released the night of the incident.
"[Irene and Crystal] are both in wheelchairs right now," family friend Joy Pastamonte Henry told the Weekly. "The family will not just have to grieve Tracey and Kendrick, but they will also have to figure out how to help Crystal and Irene, who are going to need a lot of physical therapy."
Henry, whose daughter attended school with Kendrick at Our Lady of Mercy in Daly City, said she established a Web site — gofundme.com/lovekendrick — to help raise money for memorial services. Development of a second Web page is being considered to help pay for physical therapy for Irene and Crystal. So far, $4,000 has been raised.
"The fundraising is going really good, and Mercy High School in Northern California, where Crystal goes to school, is talking about doing fundraising as well. They have not finalized the memorial or the funeral [plans]," Henry said. "Whatever we can raise, we will raise."
Henry described Kendrick as a happy-go-lucky youngster who always had a smile for people he met.
"One of the things that struck me was he was a very sweet boy," Henry said. "He was not rambunctious at all. They were a very generous and good family. They were always involved in the community and very nice."
No members from the Ng family appeared in Pasadena Superior Court on Jan. 7, when Williams and Washington were set to be arraigned. Handcuffed and dressed in jail jumpsuits, the pair appeared in court but did not enter pleas at the time. Their arraignment was rescheduled for Tuesday.
A lawyer for Williams said his client did not know the unmarked SUV following him prior to the collision contained an agent with the FBI and a Pasadena police officer.
"Think about it. A black-on-black SUV started following them in the middle of the night," said attorney F. Freddy Sayegh. "[Police] started a high-speed chase for a supposed stop sign violation? Somebody needs to start talking about this."
Pasadena police Chief Phillip Sanchez said there was no question Williams knew he was being followed by police. In fact, authorities say Williams briefly pulled over at one point, but then sped away as the uniformed police officer approached the vehicle.
Regarding the chase, "[Williams] knew it was law enforcement," Sanchez said. "The driver yielded after the officer turned on the red lights. But when [the officer] approached the vehicle, the driver fled away at a high rate of speed, which initiated the pursuit."
Police confirmed the handgun discarded from the Durango prior to the crash was not used in the McClinton and Taylor shootings.
Arrested in connection with the shootings were Jerron Harris, 25, of Pasadena, and Larry Bishop, 20, of Chino. Both men are gang members, according to police. Harris and Bishop have been charged with murder, attempted murder, being felons in possession of a firearm and two counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling. If convicted, both men could face the death penalty.
Also arrested was Gary A. Davis, 20, of Pasadena. Davis has been charged with being an accessory after the fact for helping Bishop evade police.
Since Christmas, there have been a number of rallies for McClinton, who was well known in Pasadena for his work with local youth. However, no special events have been held for Ong Tan and the Ng family.
Henry, a community activist in Daly City, said she understands the extra attention being afforded to the McClinton case.
"It is important we talk about the violence and what happened that day," Henry said. "But we can't overlook this family and what they are going through. Somebody has to come through for them also."

Office Space
The Godfather 1&2
Big Daddy
Rocky (all of them)
With the end of Basketball Season coming soon, (Well at least for the Knicks) I figured we would get the long off-season started off right by doing a thread I'm sure of us have alot to talk about.. Our All Time Favorite Movies... I narrowed it down to 5, But you have more than 5 Please Share! Here's mine!
1. Artie Lange's Beer League - (If you havent seen it,
Deffinately Check It out, Hilarious! Especially if you like howard stern)
2. Goodfellas (I'm Italian, Obvious Reason's)
3. Casino ( I would have to say this is my all time favorite I can watch this movie Over and Over again and it never gets old)
4. Pulp Fiction (Great Actors, Greater Story This movie along with Resovior dogs are instant classics Quentin Tarantino you da man!)
5. The Warriors (Ever Since I was a kid this movie enchanted me, I dont know why. The Subways with the grafiti, The Wardrobe, this movie was sheer briliance. Every Detail just made an impression on me.. Seeing New York City in the 70's is amazing as well, especially when you look at how different times are today... In my opinion one of the most underrated movies of all time.
I have many many many many many more, But for right now, these are my top 5... ok guys your turn! Lets see them! This should be interesting!
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
In no order:
Office Space
The Godfather 1&2
Big Daddy
Rocky (all of them)
hard for my to bring it down to the top-5 but here it is.
not in order
1. Godfather 1&2
2. Oceans Eleven
3. Training Day
4. Friday
5. Bad Boys 2
i wants to put goodfellas in but i just like these movies more....
ill make one of these but T.V shows
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
1. Goodfellas
Every scene in this film is a work of art, absolutely amazing from beginning to end.
2. Kill Bill
Kill Bill, taken as a whole, is a great ode to the samurai/kung fu films of old. Good music, but even a better story of a woman's bitter revenge.
3. Death Proof
Great soundtrack on this brutally violent, but smart movie with great natural feeling dialog between intriguing characters.
4. Clerks
Perhaps one of the best scripted movies ever written, this movie where essentially nothing happens and relies merely on dialog is funny, witty and poignant.
5. Beavis and Butthead Do America
Before any cartoon really crossed the line, Beavis and Butthead were the nightmare of parents across the nation. This movie, with the 2 morons traveling across America in a quest to get laid is nearly too funny for words. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do yourself a favor and go rent it now. Maybe it isn't as dirty as South Park, but it's just as funny.
and that one awesome movie................
The Godfather!
lol High School Musical... Ive never seen "do the right thing" Or Training Day... I'm gonna rent these this weekend... Thanks guys!
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
Denzel won the best actor oscar for his role, in my opinion he made that movie what it is.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Also a weird moment to notice in there. This isn't really a spoiler, but when Mookie (Spike Lee) wakes up in the beginning, hes wearing a Bulls Jersey. When he goes to work, he wears a Dodgers jersey. when he takes a shower, he uses a New York Knick towel. Talk about a weird selection...
my top 5 in no particular order:
cable guy
dazed and confused
pulp fiction
1. Gladiator (Greatest movie of all time)
2. V for Vendetta (I am suprised no one had it in their top five. This flick is one for the ages)
3. Boondock Saints (Great movie with great characters)
4. Man On Fire (Denzel is da man)
5. Kingdom of Heaven (Love the story line)
i have actually never seen pulp fiction...

In 2008, director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal teamed up to make "The Hurt Locker," a very intense, although sometimes hard-to-swallow story about a bomb disposal expert in Iraq. The film walked away with a number of Academy Awards including "Best Picture" and the first-ever directing Oscar to be won by a woman.
With that movie completed, Bigelow and Boal returned to a project they'd been working on since 2006 -- the story about the unsuccessful hunt for Osama Bin Laden in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan at the beginning of that war. Bigelow was just a few months away from starting to shoot when news came of the May 2011 Navy SEALs raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader. Bigelow and Boal decided to regroup, and tell the much larger story about the decade-long hunt to find Bin Laden. Luckily for them, they were able to hit the ground running, utilizing many of their same military and intelligence community contacts to tell this fascinating tale.
In "Zero Dark Thirty," which opened in limited release Wednesday and goes wide on Jan. 11, Jessica Chastain ("The Help") plays "Maya," the point person that the film revolves around. Based on a real CIA operative, she enters the hunt for Bin Laden early in the game. Some of the battle-toughed field agents aren't sure what to make of this young, attractive newcomer, but are warned, "She's a killer." Maya is unrelenting in tracking down leads, and although she seems a bit squeamish while witnessing her first waterboarding session, she then later coolly walks up a pleading suspect and tells him the blame is on him for "being untruthful."
Any moral judgments about what the agents are doing are left up to the audience to decide. The film begins with a powerful reminder of how everything started with a collection of audio recordings from 9/11, ranging from people in the hijacked planes, to air traffic controllers, to terrified office workers trapped in the doomed World Trade Center.
As the story moves forward, the complexity of the agents' task becomes more apparent. A lot of background is given in rapid-fire dialogue that's heavy with acronyms and abbreviations that are at times hard to follow, but audiences will get certainly get the gist: The trail to Bin Laden is murky, confusing and often very dangerous. The film vividly depicts some of the heartbreaking setbacks the CIA experienced during its long mission.
Chastain is superb, giving Maya both vulnerability and an iron will. Of course her character is not alone in this mission. Her fellow teammates include a veteran agent named Dan, (played by Jason Clarke of Showtime's "The Brotherhood") a guy who seems at ease whether he's in a suit at CIA headquarters or interrogating a suspect in Iraq. Other notable mentions are Jennifer Ehle as a fellow agent with whom Maya establishes a friendship, and Kyle Chandler ("Friday Night Lights") as the CIA station chief in Pakistan. Even Tony Soprano shows up -- actor James Gandolfini has a small but memorable role as the CIA director.
"Zero Dark Thirty" is an unusual film in that the ads and trailer (thankfully) don't reveal very much about the movie. For those who are wondering, it does indeed depict the raid on Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan, with the production re-creating the building in Jordan. That sequence is masterfully shot, with Bigelow heavily utilizing a night-vision look as the Navy SEALs slowly inch their way into and through the compound. It's one the most mesmerizing scenes in recent movie history.
In light of all the speculation during the recent presidential campaign that this movie was slanted toward the Obama administration, I feel obligated to point out something: This film is completely apolitical. It doesn't take sides and it certainly doesn't make one administration look better (or worse) than any other.
What can definitely be said about "Zero Dark Thirty" is that it's one of the most compelling, gut-wrenching and exciting motion pictures in years. It's a major achievement in filmmaking and will certainly be an Oscar contender.

Chemical Name: dehydrochlormethyltestosterone
Molecular weight: 334.8854
Standard: Enterprise Standard
In studies done on male athletes that were given 10 mg OT/day over six weeks, no negative health effects or side effects were reported. It was also used in low doses to reduce the binding of SHBG to other steroids. Oral Turinabol was found to have the ability to reduce SHBG and allow testosterone to be more readily used.
There was one case reported where a male experienced negative side effects from 5 years of using Oral Turinabol at a high dosage. It was found to be effective at extremely high dosages by those looking to gain strength and mass, yet athletes looking to obtain gains more quickly and more proficiently in their game were very successful with lower doses of Oral Turinabol. Olympic level male Shot-putters were able to add 2.5-4m to their shot throws, 10-12m on their Discus throw, and 6-10m to their Hammer throws with in four years of training. Female athletes gained even more. One female athlete improved her throw from under 18m to over 20m.
Women experienced increased and more severe and sometimes intolerable side effects than male users. Although, sometimes the women were taking doses that surpassed the men's by almost double.

More than 300 people joined the search for an Eden Prairie woman who has been missing for 11 days -- including the family of another Minnesota woman whose body was found last week.
Family members of Kira Steger came from Wisconsin to help in the search for Mandy Matula. Steger's father, Jay Steger, said the family wants to "pay it forward" and help bring Matula home.
The 24-year-old Matula was last seen with David Roe. When police asked Roe to come in for questioning, he shot himself in the head in the police parking lot. He later died.
Police have since determined he had Matula's blood on his jacket.
Eden Prairie police are coordinating with St. Louis and Stearns counties to search areas of the Mississippi River.

SAN ANGELO, Texas — Angelo State showed Eastern New Mexico University's softball team why it is ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division II over the weekend.
Freshman first baseman Sandy James homered in each game, giving her a Lone Star Conference-leading 15 for the season, as the Rambelles (26-3, 5-1 LSC South) handed the Zias 8-1 and 9-3 losses on Sunday.
James, whose 39 hits this season include 25 for extra bases, also homered in Angelo's 11-2 win on Saturday and is within one of the school's single-season record of 16, set by Christel Neal in 2005.
The highlight for the Zias (16-13, 2-7) was a two-run homer by shortstop Melissa Williams in the fourth inning of the nightcap, her first of the season, to briefly pull ENMU into a 2-2 tie.
Zias pitcher Kristen Cruickshank (8-6) nearly worked out of a bases-loaded jam that included two bunt singles in the bottom of the inning, but after getting Kristen Frye on a pop-up for the second out she walked No. 9 hitter Nicole Wellman to force in the lead run.
James followed with a two-run double, Laura Lopez added an RBI infield hit and Macy Baker doubled home two more runs to make it 8-2 and chase Cruickshank.
Angelo's Chelsea Nelson (15-2) worked six innings for the win, allowing five hits and striking out six.
Cruickshank also took the loss in the opener. Trailing 1-0, she struck out James for the second out in the third, but the Rambelles reached her for three runs — two of them unearned — before the side was out.
James led off with a homer in the fifth. ENMU got on the board in the sixth when Rebecca Quinones hit a one-out double, took third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch by Angelo's April Haywood (10-1), but the Rambelles plated three additional tallies in the bottom of the inning.
The Zias are home for five games this week, beginning with a 1 p.m. twin bill on Wednesday against Texas A&M-International.

Familiar territorySeptember 16,2013
The accord reached in Geneva last week by Secretary of State John Kerry and Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, to end the chemical weapons crisis in Syria gives most of us a reason to finally feel optimistic about the volatile situation in Damascus.
But, as welcome as the agreement may be, it is clouded not just by the facts on the ground in Syria — the rebels, for example, feel betrayed — but also by the inescapable facts of history.
In 1918, the world breathed a collective sigh of relief as "the war to end war" concluded. Years later, the peace treaty signed in the aftermath of that war continues to negatively affect international relations in many ways.
And in 1938, there was collective, if cautious, celebration when Britain's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain proudly proclaimed "peace in our time" after meeting with Hitler. A year later, Germany invaded Poland and World War II was under way.
In 1945, there was a similar sense of relief when the so-called Axis powers — Germany, Italy and Japan — were soundly defeated by the United States, Great Britain and their allies, although one huge price that was paid for that victory, and that in some ways is still being paid, was the introduction of atomic weapons.
Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union were united in their determination to defeat Hitler. A great deal of American weapons were shipped in dangerous convoys (85 merchant vessels were sunk en route to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel) to aid Stalin's war effort in the east.
But almost immediately the Americans and British found themselves immersed in a "cold war" with the Soviet Union and, among other crises, that led to the tense confrontation with Moscow over its decision to send missiles to Fidel Castro that the Cuban dictator could easily use in an attack on the United States.
One final reference to relevant history: In 1989, the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War was finally over. This led to the largest reorganization of nations since at least 1848, and it also led to new dreams of world peace. But the dreams didn't last long.
So now, while Egypt, Libya, Nigeria and other parts of Africa are torn by bitter feuds — many (if not all) of them tribal or religious in nature — and as Iraq implodes, the most attention is being paid to Syria. And there has been applause for Russia's surprise role in attempting to bring a peaceful solution to a seemingly intractable conflict.
But listen to the Syrian rebels: A spokesman for the rebel military council in Damascus declared that with the Geneva agreement "the regime gained a victory." Why? Because, he said, the Assad regime "now believes that the whole international community can't punish it or stop it, so it will do it all."
And Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center, agreed, saying that Assad likely will take advantage of the window before the Geneva agreement's mid-2014 deadline to destroy its stockpiles of chemical weapons in an attempt to stamp out rebel forces.
"Assad will be a fairly confident guy today, and if he's sincere about the plan, there's potentially a lot of political gain for him," Shaikh said. "He's certainly likely to feel victorious, there is no credible threat of the use of force on the table anymore, which is the thing he fears the most."
Yet for most of us, the Kerry-Lavrov meeting brought optimism and relief. The problem: We've been there before.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Shumlin: Deal was meant to helpStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Jeremy Dodge sits on a work table on the back porch of his home on Foster Road in East Montpelier, which he now rents from new owner Gov. Peter Shumlin.
MONTPELIER When Peter Shumlin saw for himself the severity of his neighbors plight last fall, the second-term governor said Friday, he decided then and there he couldnt turn his back on the man.
Winter was already bearing down hard, and Jeremy Dodge the man from whom Shumlin would soon purchase a 16-acre homestead at well below the assessed value was, according to Shumlin, without heat, electricity or plumbing.
He needed action right there and then, Shumlin said during his first interview since news of the controversial land deal broke Wednesday. I could not in good conscience walk away. I just wasnt going to do it. Now, maybe some folks can do that. I dont have the ability to do that thats just the truth.
Friends and family members of Dodge this week accused Shumlin of exploiting Dodges desperation by using the specter of an imminent tax sale to snap up for $58,000 a property they say would have fetched far more at auction.
But in a succession of one-on-one interviews Friday afternoon, Shumlin presented members of the media a competing narrative, one in which he was a compassionate Vermonter coming to the rescue of a struggling neighbor, while ensuring a fair outcome for himself.
What has been missed in these stories is this was a very difficult situation, and (Dodge) was in a really hard place, Shumlin said. Family members for whatever reason couldnt help, other neighbors werent lining up to help. The challenges were much more than a tax sale.
However honorable the terms of the deal he struck with Dodge last fall, Shumlin said, hes ready to renegotiate them now.
Friday morning he walked to his 54-year-old neighbors front door, olive branch in hand.
We had a really nice conversation, and I went for the purposes of giving him a letter saying that I am committed to working together with him to come to a resolution that works for both of us, Shumlin said.
Unlike the last time they entered into a real estate transaction, Shumlin said, this time hell see to it that the seller of the East Montpelier farmland has a lawyer when they discuss the terms.
I encouraged him to get a lawyer the last time. He refused to do so, Shumlin said. But I said, This time you have to have a lawyer, and Im happy to pay for it.
That Shumlin didnt ensure Dodge had legal advice during the last round of talks is among the facts cited by critics as evidence of his impropriety in the deal. Dodges own family members describe him as a cognitively stunted neer-do-well whose lifelong run-ins with the law reflect the antisocial tendencies that caused him to accumulate a nearly $18,000 tax bill in the four years since he inherited the homestead from his parents.
One of his adult daughters has called Dodge a 16-year-old mind in a 54-year-old body, mentally incapable of defending his interests against a real estate investor as accomplished as Shumlin.
Dodge, on furlough for a domestic assault conviction in 2011, makes less than $10,000 a year in his part-time job at a Salvation Army warehouse. He blames his ninth-grade education, severe stutter and extensive criminal history for his inability to hold steady work.
Shumlin cut a deal with Dodge to purchase the land prior to the tax sale a deal to which Dodge this week said he assented only because he believed he would lose the home immediately otherwise. In fact he would have by law been able to remain there for a year, during which time he or family members would have been able to retrieve the deed by paying the back taxes, plus interest.
Even had Dodge not been able to come up with the money, he and his family say, the price for which the property would have gone at auction it was most recently appraised for $140,000 would have been much higher than what Shumlin paid.
But Shumlin said Friday that Dodge was keenly aware of the deal before him.
I firmly believe that (Dodge) understood clearly what his options were, Shumlin said. He understood the agreement, and he knew exactly what he was doing. I never doubted that.
And while he never told Dodge that hed be able to hold on to the house for a year if it did go to tax sale, Shumlin said, that wasnt a viable option for him anyway.
What a tax sale would have done for (Dodge) is left him for a year in limbo with no electricity, no heat, no water, Shumlin said. He would have been homeless.
Asked why he didnt insist that Dodge have a lawyer last time, Shumlin said he tried.
Dodge said earlier this week that Shumlin did encourage him to get a lawyer but that when he explained he didnt have any money to pay for one, the governor responded by saying wed just use his lawyers.
According to Shumlin, I urged (Dodge) to get a lawyer multiple times.
You cant get someone to do something theyre not willing to do, Shumlin said. Im just telling you that is what happened.
Shumlin said Dodge got a fair bargain anyway, one that provided him a livable residence through winter, thanks only to Shumlins willingness to step in and cover utility and other expenses. Shumlin also made Dodges delinquent child support payments as part of the purchase-and-sale agreement, the first version of which amounted to $32,000. Amendments to that agreement including $9,000 for prepaid occupancy and $9,000 for repair credits brought the final price to $58,000.
And whenever hed call me for money, Id give him money, while we were trying to work out the details, Shumlin said. And I would pay the bills that needed to be paid, and thats not accounted for in the money thats been reflected in the press, so it was an additional expense.
Dodge is contractually obligated to depart the premises by July 15, though Shumlin said hes willing to let him stay longer.
Shumlin said he also encouraged Dodge to avoid the sale altogether by seeking help from family members with his unpaid taxes. Dodges daughter told the press this week that she was unable to raise the cash shed need to avert the tax sale.
What I said to him was, The best possible outcome for you is to get one of your kids, one of your family members to pay down the taxes, even put the deed in their name if you have to, but at least then youll have a family member owning your house, Shumlin said.
The governor said his concern for Dodge comes despite the mans capacity for misdeeds.
Heres the thing about Dodge when hes sober and hes not on drugs, theres a lot to appreciate and respect about Jeremy Dodge, Shumlin said. When he is on drugs and he is not sober, hes one of the most despicable human beings that you can deal with, according to what Ive been told.
Shumlin said that as his neighbor, hes ready to help Dodge realize the best version of himself.
Do you give up on him? This is a guy right now thats trying to better himself, Shumlin said. When I said that I would help, and come to an arrangement that would be good for both of us, I knew full well that I meant I was going to help and see this thing all the way through. And Im committed to doing that.
Asked what his resolution with Dodge might look like in the end, Shumlin declined to speculate.
I dont see any benefit in doing that through the press, so Im just not going to get into any specifics on ideas that I have, Shumlin said. What Jerry needs the most is good, clean, livable housing.

Gov. Scott Walker's new budget may have unusual ripple effects on the Circus World Museum.
In his budget, Walker targeted the Sauk County attraction by ending a decades-long public-private partnership between the state and the Circus World Board of Directors.
The proposal would turn Circus World entirely over to the State Historical Society and allocated $1.2 million to pay the attraction's 10 employees.
Circus World Executive Director Steve Freese said the move will detract some donors, ultimately setting off a chain reaction of lower attendance numbers and show cancellations.
"It really puts everything that our board has put together here in jeopardy," Freese said. "It risks, we think, the collection because of the approach that we're using to do that. Their track record hasn't been good with attendance at historic sites."
Freese said he and the board have worked hard to boost attendance nearly 40 percent since 2006.
Walker's plan must be approved by both the Assembly and the Senate. Freese said some important donors have already pulled out in anticipation of the state takeover, a move he added may affect the upcoming summer season's programs.

"It seems Aspirin was once an actual brand name, that we now use generically. "
It still is, in Canada. I remember having to ask for ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) because Aspirin meant Bayer and only Bayer.

What I think is interesting about this, is that it can only happen spontaneously. Companies are always trying to make this happen with their products, but the public is so fickle!

I'd always heard that companies were fighting like Billio to prevent it from happening, as it means they lose the rights to the name, so that anyone, for example, could call their pills aspirin.

No, no, Bingley! Just the opposite! If a product name becomes the standard for that type of product, then it is the exemplar of that genre of products. Companies love that!

No, Ruby they don't -- Xerox spends alot of money being xerox and making that the company.. they do not want to have xerox=copy/copies
Nor does the Klennex company want to lose the rights to its name.. if the names are used 'genericaly' in a publications,(say in a piece of fiction) the Xerox company lawyers will sue..
"cookie and cream ice cream isn't 'oreo ice cream'-- cause oreo is a brand name, not a generic one for chocolate cookie with super sweet white icing filling..
when something is close to generic, like oreo, companies will bring out variations, to widen the meaning, and to re-enforce its right to own the "name".
an oreo by any other name is a hydrox, or something!
in Canada, ask for "asprin" and you get a Bayer brand pill. in US, any company can use the term asprin- it is no advantage to Bayer, the first company to market ASA, and the company that worked hard to "develop" a market for Asprin!_________________________

There is even a word, genericide, for this process. It means the "killling off" of a trademark by its becoming a general name.

Heel down 4mm, weight down 2.0 oz – Guide 5 is a wake-up call from Saucony. With more flexibility and cushion, this moderate support shoe is a great trainer.
How do all these updates affect the ride of the Guide 5? Very positively, we're happy to report. Each update complements the others to create a ride that is much different – and in our opinion much better – than the Guide 4 that came before it.
So what type of changes are we talking about? Well, for instance, the lowered heel combines with the the more flexible midsole to create a heel-to-toe transition that feels uber-natural. And that flexibility plays well with the trimmed down weight, helping the shoe to feel more like a natural extension of your foot, rather than a horseshoe tacked onto your hoof.
On the list of changes we'd like to see, the midfoot felt just a little loosey-goosey for some of us. Others felt a hotspot at the base of the big toe, which is probably due to the low toe box height. And of course the 4mm heel height drop could be seen as a plus or a minus. Customers who liked the Guide 4 in the past might be worried that the 5 will take some getting used to because of the lowered stack height. This is certainly an area of personal preference, but in our experience the heel drop is not very noticeable and the big benefit is a lighter weight shoe.
"I'm impressed by the better heel fit of the Guide 5 versus the Guide 4. But I had a hotspot by my first metatarsal on both feet that would have caused blisters for sure on a longer run."
"I LOVE the new 8mm design…it really helps to promote a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The toe box is a little wide for me, but I prefer a narrow toe box. Such good cushioning that you can't even tell it's a support shoe."
"It ain't much to look at (at least in the white/blue color), but this shoe surprises with a smooth transition and pretty good responsiveness given its level of cushioning and support."

Hangout Music Festival
Gulf Shores, Alabama
All photos by Dan DeSlover – ConcertCapture.com
The sunny Gulf Shores of Alabama were treated to the 2012 Hangout Festival on Friday through Sunday, May 18-20. Four stages–Main, Chevrolet, XBOX, and Letting Go–and an expansive beachfront ensured that those who attended would be entertained. Attendees agreed, purchasing the 35,000 allocated festival tickets within weeks of a 2012 lineup announcement that featured Jack White, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dave Matthews Band as headliners over the three day event.
Gates opened at 11 a.m. and parking logistic nightmares were assuaged by a shuttle system that efficiently transported concert-goers from west, east and northward distances to the Hangout entrance gates. Though there were some minor congestion issues that delayed travel early on Friday afternoon, the problems were resolved quickly by designating a lane of traffic exclusively for bus travel near the gates. Outside of staying within a few blocks of the festival grounds, the shuttle was easily the best method of transportation.
Check out photos from Day One: Jack White/Chris Cornell/Yelawolf/Alabama Shakes/Sleeper Agent/Dawes/Wilco
The Main and Chevrolet stages flanked the beachfront, while opposing one another with music rotating between the stages throughout the day. Fans who wished to arrive early and camp out on the sand all day for each day's headliner were treated to shady conditions, the massive Main stage on the westward side of the beach blocked the sun by early afternoon. A large tented sculpture residing between the two stages provided additional shaded relief. XBOX sponsored a covered stage inland from the Chevrolet stage that hosted electronic and hip-hop artists. The Letting Go stage, inland from the Main stage and west of the XBOX stage provided a third rock stage.
These stages provided the cornerstones to the festival. Within their confines were plenty of food choices. Options included a number of food trucks that comprised vegan and healthy alternatives to the ubiquitous pizza and hamburgers. Food stalls also provided local, Southern specialties such as Creole and seafood. Liquid refreshments were never more than a short walk away. There were also enough restroom facilities and ATMs that a few minute wait in line was more of a rarity than the norm.
In terms of music experiences, the Hangout Festival location on a sunny beach was close to paradise. Those who opted to pay extra for VIP perks had a number of options, including perhaps the nicest VIP package available at any festival. The 'Super VIP' experience granted exclusive access to meal choices and unlimited beverages, but the highlight was access to a veritable oasis near the Main stage. The half of the Main stage closest to the beach was open to all attendees, but the inland side was limited to Super VIP patrons. The pit in front of the stage was standing room only, but just beyond that area (further left from the stage) were a pair of pools a mere 50-60 feet from the performers. Just beyond the pools was a shaded veranda with several hot tubs, bars and cushioned lounge chairs. Plush would be an understatement.
One of the greatest benefits of a solid music festival is exposure to new music. This can be in the form of an up-and-coming artist, a newly reunited band or a musical genre that might typically fall outside a general listening range. Hangout offered jam bands, world-class DJs, gypsy punk, hip-hop, reggae, straight-up rock and roll and a touch of gospel. There's a strong chance that most attendees walked away with a broadened musical palate.
Friday's lineup was solid from the start, with the 12:15 p.m. lineup yielding a choice between San Diego based Switchfoot and alternative rockers Sleeper Agent. One of the day's surprises was Alabama Shakes, a local band featuring soulful Southern rock fronted by Britanny Howard. YelaWolf mixed it up at midday with a mashup of speed rap and word flow that inspired body to move. Those that weren't inclined to YelaWolf's rhythmic pace could chill their afternoon away with the likes of Dawes and Wilco.
The Main stage was closed out on Friday by a pair of artists that have a great deal in common. Chris Cornell and Jack White have independently reshaped the rock and roll landscape, Cornell's vocals and White's fretwork are unique unto themselves. Both artists have fronted a handful of genre-defining bands: Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave for Cornell; The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather for White. Each performed under their own solo moniker on Friday night. Both Cornell and White reached deep into their arsenal, performing hits and deeper cuts that transcended all their previous associations.
Cornell's set was akin to his solo Acoustic Songbook tour, performing alone with his acoustic guitar. His was a relaxed show that included requests catcalled from the crowd. A fan shouted out "Sunflower" after the second song and Cornell acknowledged the request, after giving a brief intro into the inspiration behind the song. Cornell's voice was beyond words, guttural yet angelic. Cornell meandered through his archives, covering an equal share of Soundgarden, Temple, and Audioslave, the entire set was a highlight reel. He closed with Lennon's "Imagine."
Jack White's eccentric personality shows through his music. His obsession with red, white and black while fronting the White Stripes seems to have turned blue for his solo career. A soft blue light enveloped the stage, casting an eerie glow that spread out from the stage; even the plastic Solo beverage cups on stage were blue. He performs with two bands, one female (The Peacocks) the other male (The Buzzards), and notifies them on the day of the show which will be performing. Friday's performance started with the male entourage and finished with the female. It's hard to argue with a set that began with "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" and finished with "Seven Nation Army." However, Rome's "Two Against One," and a couple deeper cuts "We're Going to be Friends" and The Raconteurs "Carolina Drama" were other highlights in the 19-song setlist.
Photos from Day Two at Hangout: Red Hot Chili Peppers/Skrillex/Dispatch/Mac Miller/Flogging Molly/Gogol Bordello
The XBOX stage was the place to be for those needing a jump-start on Saturday. Mac Miller, the Pittsburgh rapping sensation, got the day started with his quirky raps that generally referred to sex, drugs, alcohol and the occasional mention of Donald Trump. Those needing a bit more of a charge had to wait just a little longer before Skrillex took the stage. His pounding beats reverberated across he festival grounds while a haze of smoke, swirling lights and fog engulfed a swarm of dancing bodies below. Skrillex easily had the highest crowd density at the festival, and it was the only time a noticeable security force was present.
Gogol Bordello, a conglomeration of global musicians based in New York city, gave the crowd a taste of gypsy punk. The energetic frontman Eugene Hütz is pure entertainment while their music is a potpourri of styles that change direction on a dime. An Old World fusion of accordion and percussion would suddenly become rap with accompanying dance. The perfect way to follow their set was to head over and witness Flogging Molly perform their punk-influenced Celtic music that enlightened the crowd with stories of politics, love, history and drunken debauchery.
Recently reunited Dispatch, the Boston based jam band from the 90s were the perfect tonic to decompress after a number of supercharged sets. They ended their seven-year hiatus last summer and have that they will release new music in August of this year. Though Dispatch have always been about charitable and humane causes, the beachside vibe and chill coffeehouse jams with a reggae beat during sunset induced one of the better mood altering performances of the weekend.
Whether it was a relaxed state of mind due to Dispatch or the fact that the Red Hot Chili Peppers hit the stage with a vengeance, Saturday night ended with an exclamation. Touring on I'm With You after a seemingly lengthy break between albums, RHCP are in the midst of an extensive world tour. They are one of few bands that were born during the 80s Los Angeles music explosion to remain active, Van Halen's semi-reunion recently fell flat with their 2012 tour postponement/cancellation. They were also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
Photos from Day Three at Hangout: Dave Matthews Band/Cage the Elephant/The Flaming Lips/Paper Diamond/Young the Giant
RHCP's trademark blend of funk rock would not be complete without Flea's signature bass lines. Frontman Anthony Kiedis pranced the stage while belting out a 20-song setlist. They opened with "Monarchy of Roses" and continued with a bevy of hits including "Scar Tissue," "Suck My Kiss," Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," "Under the Bridge" and "Californication;" while saving "Around the World," "Soul to Squeeze" and "Give it Away" for their encore. Easily the most dynamic and best sounding performance of the weekend (though Dave Matthews jam session to close out the weekend was a close second).
Those who wished to continue rocking on Sunday could look forward to Cage the Elephant's energetic set. A sea of bodies floated above the crowd during most of their performance, including a couple trips from frontman Matthew Shultz. At one point he said, "If you drop me like you just dropped that guy, and I'm knocked unconscious, just continue passing me around for the rest of the day. Maybe put some sunscreen on my chest though."
Aside from Cage's performance, Sunday provided a change of pace to the previous days heavier theme. Michael Franti and Spearhead jammed hip-hop with a reggae vibe that made attendees fully appreciate the beach theme. He spoke highly of those who have helped the Gulf coast after the BP oil catastrophe. He was also presented with a key to the city by the Mayor later that afternoon.
The Flaming Lips take psychedelia to a new level. Though their performance of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety was a perfect complement to Sunday's artists, the daylight performance slightly detracted from Wayne Coyne's quirky stage presence. They performed a handful of The Flaming Lips classics, including "She Don't Use Jelly" and "Do You Realize??" before cutting into "Dark Side."
The Dave Matthews Band closed out the weekend with a lengthy three-hour set in typical DMB fashion, squeezing less than 20 tracks into the time slot with plenty of improvised jams. The haze emanating from the crowd matched the smoke from the stage and definitely ended the festival on a high note. DMB gave the crowd a mixture of deeper tracks that should have satisfied the true fans who patiently waited a dozen hours for their set to begin.
Even the artists were impressed with Hangout. Both Chris Cornell and G. Love tweeted positive impressions about Hangout. Cornell tweeted that he was impressed and provided a photo of a sign that adorned his dressing lounge, while G. Love wrote, "Are you serious!? This place is crazy Niiice." Dispatch also claimed they were busy being fans and had to hurry back to the stage to perform.
The 2012 Hangout Festival was an emphatic success. The first day was outstanding and each successive day were just additional reasons to be happy. If I was forced to choose the most frustrating aspect of the festival, it was having to decide which artists to check out in a given time slot. The latter problem was solved by catching portions of different sets, though sometimes just chilling with the music and sunshine prevailed. The Hangout Music Festival should be a bucket-list event for any Coachella, Bonnaroo or Lollapalooza regular.

Warmists Really Excited Over New Global Warming Poll
Notice that I did not term global warming as "hotcoldwetdry" as usual. There's a reason for that, which I'll get to after the story, reported breathlessly at the Washington Post (a Warmist emailed me about this story yesterday, wondering why I hadn't commented on it. That was due to seeing it soon before heading to work, and an inability to see the study itself at the time)
AP-GfK Poll: Belief in global warming rises with thermometers, even among science doubters
Hooray, we've already jumped to politics, and that's just the headline, in referring to those who do not buy into the notion that the current warm period is causing mostly or solely by Mankind as "science doubters".
A growing majority of Americans think global warming is occurring, that it will become a serious problem and that the U.S. government should do something about it, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds.
Even most people who say they don't trust scientists on the environment say temperatures are rising.
I guess us Climate Realists are losing this, eh?
The poll found 4 out of every 5 Americans said climate change will be a serious problem for the United States if nothing is done about it. That's up from 73 percent when the same question was asked in 2009.
No, 4 out of 5 did not say hotcoldwetdry, ie, "climate change", was a serious problem. The completely unscientific phrase "climate change wasn't mentioned in the poll. What we do get in the poll was exactly what I expected to see
If you ask me that question, my answer is "probably been happening." In fact, warming has been happening. It started in the mid-1800's as the natural pattern of a cool period ended and the Earth moved into a warm period (which will be followed by a cool period, etc), just as has been happening since the end of the last glacial period 20,000 years ago.
What is missing from the poll is any assignment of causation. They question asked is about warming, but not what the cause is. None of the questions ask about cause. And that is what this debate is about, not warmth, not temperature rise, but causation. Most Climate Realists understand that the earth has warmed since the end of the Little Ice Age, but know that most of the rise has been natural, with some global anthropogenic causes, mostly from agriculture and landfills. Throw in land use, such as the Urban Heat Island Effect, and the perceived rise is much lower. Perhaps 10-15% of warming comes from those last two, with the rest being natural.
But, yes, 80% of respondents are freaking out over the warmth, saying we're dooooooooomed! 49% say it's "very serious", 31% say "somewhat serious" Let's give Warmists some props for a 20+ year campaign of getting people to freak over a whopping 1.4 degree Fahrenheit rise since 1850. If that figure was constantly published, people would be much less likely to believe that we're doomed.
Of course, Warmists still won't practice what they preach.

Discussion in 'Awesome Recruiting' started by sevmonster, Dec 10, 2013.
djam3 is Wolford.
Funny...I wish I had that much talent when I was his age.
Wolford plays in a way tougher league than Grier. Nor saying will is not a tremendous prospect because he is. What I am saying that Wolford,s physical measurables are not that important if you are converting to a spread upbeat offense
Didn't Aaron Murray turn out to be a hair over 6"?
3 Florida QB's that could get a look if we decide we need another one in this class
Zack Darlington
Alin Edouard
Quinton Flower
I think so. He's now listed at 6'1" which probably means they round up.
Wolford committed to Wake Forest. Like I said earlier in this thread I think that was the best place for him at this time. A coaching staff that has been successful with an undersized QB and he was their guy. Unlike Penn State where they wanted him for depth purposes.
Big miss on Wolford. But do think we need to look at a second QB for '14....from your previous posts, looks like Flowers (I like his speed) and Darlington are solid prosects but surprised that you wouldn't consider these guys "undersized" based on your previous comments. Also, looks like Darlington is early enroll in Lincoln.
I think they are all undersized. Which means you want them to have other traits to make up for that. Flowers has a cannon and could also play safety at the next level. I dont know if we need another prospect. I will leave that up to Muschamp. If Tyler is staying you don't need another QB you might want one though. I am sure the new OC will have his say
Agree, Will Grier looks very strong....but, Wolford came up against some strong defenses with highly prized prospects (like: Dillon Bates (TN), Jakob Johnson (TN), and CeCe Jefferson ('15 UF Hopeful)). So it will be it will be critical for him (assuming early enroll) to have a strong spring and get up to speed quick.
so should UF sign Kieth Reed from Miami Central since he plays against the best competition in the country? Grier should not have to start next year and he is an EE.
Absolutely not...while KR certainly plays against great competition, at 5'-10", wouldn't you consider him undersized? As I stated earlier, I think Grier looks like a strong prospect and I think he should be ready to compete for an opportunity to make an immediate impact. Having a strong spring w EE will only help him.
You made my point with your first comment. EEing will help but he needs to be on the bench year 1. This is the SEC we are talking about. It is Jeff's show next year
Actually, I think you just made my point...this is the SEC we are talking about....a strong spring (w EE) is essential for getting Grier ready to contribute and add value immediately (if needed).
As I said...ready to contribute and add value immediately (if needed)....Tyler Murphy transferring
Time for the gator coaches to go get john Wolford now
Take 2 qbs, with injuries you're one snap away from their starting.
Darlington might never play football again, got a couple really bad concussions and had to sit the whole year. Plus he's committed to Nebraska, and they were going to honor his scholarship even if he couldn't ever play again. Doubt he would go any where else.
Agree 100% We need to TRY to get Wolford asap.....may be too late. The coach he plays for and the coaches he has played against have all stated that he is the real deal....they have all sent elite players to top D1 programs...they can't all be wrong. Also, CeCe Johnson (5 Star '15 Gator hopeful): "In my three years of playing, he's the best player I've been against." See attached from Jax Times Union....TU SUPER 24 Player of the year!
I think we should offer him. Don't think he would accept as he has better opportunity to play at wake!
