So if you suffer from any of these problems take this golf swing test now by following these 2 simple steps.
Step 1: Get out your 7-iron (you may want to use an old 7-iron as you'll soon see why) and a golf ball and setup to a ball with your bottom just touching a wall like this…
Step 2: Now start your backswing as your normally would and notice where in your backswing you hit the wall.
So go and complete this golf swing test now and then come back here when you've done it because there's a certain point in your backswing where you SHOULD hit the wall.
To find out where that point is (and why) along with information on whether you passed the test or not simply put in your first name and primary email address in the form below. I will then send you some crucial information about your results and whether or not you have a serious swing fault that is costing you accuracy, consistency and distance – remember, it could be up to 50 yards.

did not hit the wall
My ball striking is horrible at the mo. Hope this golf swing test has some answers. Sure need the help at the moment and I'm up for anything.
just did the test. can't wait to see the results. been all over the map recently so maybe this is the reason why? did have to do this with my eyes closed because i found myself manipulating the swing with my eyes open and getting a false result. and for anyone else – i found it a good idea to get someone to video you doing this so you can see whether it's close to your normal swing without a wall.
I hit the wall just like in picture 4. I will now enter my name and email address to get the result. Kind of hoping I failed the golf swing test because my ball striking is quite poor at the present time. I have tried a lot of things to fix it. Hope this will be the ONE!
Hit the wall just like in the picture. Can't wait to see what that means!!!
hit the wall about half way up. can't wait to find out the results. i am a 6 handicap from ireland by the way.
My 7 iron clubhead face hit the wall about shoulder height
Just completed the swing test jeff. Look forward to seeing my results. Thank you.
Missed the wall a couple of times, I have an upright swing with the shorter irons, I did hit it once up very high???
It will be interesting to hear the results
Hit the wall at 11 o clock above my head. Looking foreward for your comment.
I hit the wall high behind my head
I hit the wall just like the picture, a little above my waist
i hit the wall like in the picture.
Hit shoulder high
I did not hit the wall until the club was to the right (I'm right handed) and about 6-8 inches over my head.
Hit the wall quite high up towards the shoulder about 11h00, this stopped me from completing the swing further back, before coming down towards rhe ball.
The club-head of my seven iron is striking the wall at SHOULDER height.
I hit the wall at shoulder height.
I hit the wall 2-3″ above my my left shoulder. I'm left handed and play left handed. Looking forward to hear if "i passed". Kenn
I hitt the wall above my head
I find I have to take a very closed stance i.e. pull my right foot back to try not too slice the ball also to try to get a bit of distance
I did the test and hit the wall at about 10 o'clock.
I hit the wall well above my shoulders
hit wall at 11 O'clock
great product really works very well
I hit the wall about 10″ above my head. I'm 6′ tall.
I hit the wall slightly lower than either of the pictures indicate. About 9 o'clock.. Last year I was an 11 this year a 16 –
I did not hit the wall at all.
hit wall shoulder high.
Hit the wall pretty close to picture
hit wall near top
Hit the wall the same spot as the picture
Hit the wall when my hands are shoulder high
I hit the wall about a foot below my should position
I hit the wall just below shoulder height.
Hit the wall just below my right shoulder

We are broadly interested in endocrine and neuroendocrine tissue development. We study the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), which controls metablism and reproduction. Using mouse genetics, pharmacogenetics and functional imaging, we ask how estrogen-responsive neurons in the VMH control physical activity and adaptive thermogenesis in females.
Ongoing research focuses on NR5A nuclear receptors, SF-1 and LRH-1 because of their critical roles in metabolism. We find that the signaling phospholipid PIP3 is the highest affinity ligand for NR5As. Efforts are underway to find synthetic ligands for use in the intestine and liver. NR5A receptors are highly sumoylated. We are asking how this PTM affect the in vivo function of these NRs in liver.

50 Cent and Tony Yayo Register as Bone Marrow Donors
G-Unit members 50 Cent and Tony Yayo recently registered as bone marrow donors in an effort to help 11-year-old Broadway star Shannon Tavarez, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
The rappers visited DKMS America — the world's largest non-profit marrow donor center — where they documented the donor process for Thisis50.com "My son is just a couple years older than Shannon and I can't imagine if his life was needlessly cut short when there is someone out there that could save him," 50 said in a statement. "Shannon's chances of finding a matching donor are slim because she's African American and Dominican and minorities are underrepresented in the national registry," he continued. "Everyone, regardless of their race or ethnicity, deserves a fair chance at life. Registering to become a bone marrow donor starts with a cheek swab but it's more than that. It's a commitment to save a life."
Early in July, singers Rihanna and Alicia Keys rallied fans in an attempt to locate a donor for the young star, who previously played the role of young Nala in 'The Lion King' on Broadway. After experiencing mysterious pains in her leg, Tavarez was diagnosed with an acute form of leukemia and she has remained in a Long Island hospital facility since then. Check out 50's educational bone marrow video below.

Ohio man held on car chase charges
PARKERSBURG – An Ohio man faces charges in several counties after a vehicular chase early Tuesday morning began in Washington County and ended with a crash and arrest in Jackson County.
Chance Robert Seymour, 20, of Belmont, Ohio, was being held in the South Central Regional Jail on Tuesday on a felony charge of fleeing out of Jackson County.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office reported Seymour crashed about 2 a.m. Tuesday at the 140 mile marker on Interstate 77 in Jackson County after trying to pass a tractor-trailer in the median. He lost control and flipped over.
Seymour was taken to Jackson General Hospital for minor injuries and placed in the regional jail where he is being held on a $2,500 bond.
The incident began about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday in Marietta when the Ohio State Highway Patrol attempted to pull over Seymour's Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck for speeding. The truck took off into Wood County, getting onto I-77 south and reaching speeds well over 100 miles per hour, police said.
The Wood County Sheriff's Department said a deputy observed the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and began following the truck, observing it to be driving in both lanes of traffic. The driver then flipped his middle finger out the window to the deputy and began throwing shiny metal objects at the cruiser, hitting the windshield and hood, a press release said.
Wood County deputies chased the truck on the interstate into Jackson County, where the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and Ripley Police Department joined in the chase.
Wood County officials said a criminal complaint will be filed in Wood County on charges of fleeing from an officer, reckless driving and speeding. Deputies later learned the vehicle was stolen in Ohio and the OSHP will pursue charges as well.

Nonstress Test
A nonstress test is used in pregnant women to evaluate the heart rate of a developing baby (fetus). Normally, a developing baby's heart rate ranges from 100 to 160 beats per minute, and it usually speeds up after the baby moves. If the heart rate is faster or slower than this range or does not speed up after the baby moves, it may mean that the baby is not doing well.
During the test:
- Elastic belts with two sensors are placed on the
woman's belly. The sensors are connected to an electronic monitoring machine.
- One sensor monitors the baby's heart rate.
- The other sensor is a pressure gauge, which measures the duration of tightening (contractions) of the woman's uterus, if they occur.
- The woman pushes a button on the machine every time she feels the baby move.
- The baby's heart rate is compared during movement and during contractions. Normally, the baby's heart rate increases when the baby moves. But the heart rate may not increase during the testing period.
A nonstress test usually takes about 30 minutes. It can be done in a hospital or the doctor's office.

Jada Pinkett Smith: Animal Activist?
Jada Pinkett-Smith, who currently stars in the number one film in the country, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and is married to megastar Will Smith, recently made a compassionate pledge. The longtime animal defender recently told reporters that she just can't go on keeping her beloved animal friends in tiny cage prisons. Apparently, the rock-star frontwoman of Wicked Wisdom was moved to action by the family snake, Beauty.
"I think I'll never get an animal like a snake again where I have to keep her in an aquarium," Jada said, according to Contactmusic (via OneIndia). "We have this whole thing for Beauty outside for her to be in a natural habitat. But at the end of the day, she knows she's caged into her aquarium. We can't set her into the wild now, but I told [our daughter] Willow we won't do this again and won't have any animals that need to stay like that."
Good for you, Jada! Then she added this bit, which makes our campaigning hearts flutter: "Maybe when I get older, that'll become one of my activist endeavors."
Of course, we couldn't be more delighted to hear this! Jada and Will are one of Hollywood's hottest power couples, with considerable influence—and if Jada turns over a new leaf, that should have serious repercussions with her fans.
Written by Missy Lane
Commenting is closed.
Em hold on a minute on a major fur retailer website it mentions will and jada as their clients and there's a picture of them wearing rabbit i think it was fur coats to a red carpet event. Also for some premiere they showed up with Mary J. Blige a notorious fur hag and were all totally dressed head to toe in leather?? Look it up you'll have to do some digging around. That put me off Will ever since i found it out a year or two ago.
Good job jade!! I myself am in your boat. I have two pet snakes and love them so much it is hard for me to keep them locked up in tanks. I bought them before I realised that they should be in the wild and now if i set them free they would never survive. I hearby pledge I will never get another animal that has to stay in a tank or cage again!
jeff thank you for your comment I totally agree Im one of those unnamed people ina famr community of average auto worker families in Michigan people drop off cats constatly we out of our own pockets spay neauter immunize shelter and feed and actively look for homes for these pooor animals because the thought of somone just killing them because people are cruel is beyond our definition of humanity. some we fins homes. many live out there lives here and at the neighboring farms each of us are paying 100 dollars a month in food alone. but they are happy and healthy but it would be nice to deduct it a fraction from taxes.or have these big celebs make vouchers at feed places to relive the financial amounts of the costs. none of us are wealthy lol. Instead celebrities buy and sell and donate time and all the other hoopla it really offends me. and then harp about meat and hunting etc. i dont hunt and fur is a big nono in my community I wish they would help or stop bragging about their animal contributions sounds harsh but it is a hard road at times to follow
To Robin Lynn…I heard Pink on the radio having a go at J.Lo for wearing fur and making fur underwear. It was like a stand up comedy routine she said "Why would you get a wax then? Wear your own fur bitch!" Pink's great and J.Lo is a fur hag.
I'm pleased as punch that she took this first step. This couple has always struck me as exceptionally talented and intelligent. Once people take a first step to help animals they often take many more steps after that. Most people don't take that first step at all. Let's be glad she did. Exotic animals suffer more horribly as pets than almost any other animal out there. As a vet tech I watched snakes iguanas and geckos die in front of me and the owner had no clue the animal was even sick. Snakes geckos iguanas and birds belong in the tropical rainforest not in pet stores!!! Of course as I mentioned in the octopus post pet store animals cannot survive in the wild. I hope this wonderful celeb also asks some experts biologists wildlife rehabbers wildlife vets NOT pet store peoplehow to improve life for her snake he is still depending on her to care for him and to learn about and RESPECT him as a living being. Thanks!
Not at all impressed. I will be if I ever see her do some real animal rights activist work on even donate some of those millions to animals in need. There are too many not famous selfless people out there who are really for animals and do everything for them and really get it and get nothing in return. And then celebs who do little for animals and benefit a lot by it. I'd like to see some really famous stars approach other stars who wear fur in front of the media convince them to stop supporting designers who use fur in the spotlight and see what happens then on behalf of animals. Any star up for the challenge or too afraid it will ruin your career?
That's great! Thank you Jada for showing your kids to have compassion for animals!
but she still eats steak.
How wonderful.
Will Smith stole her from me. I love that woman.
Yay for Jada…Keep it up pretty girl! You rock!

In doing so, they received academic credit applicable for ECCE global awareness, engagement experience, and some major coursework. History faculty members help to give students a global perspective at UIS.
UIS Unveils "The Young Lawyer."
Today UIS welcomes a new sculpture of a smiling young Lincoln crafted by George Lundeen. History Department faculty members Dr. Holly Kent and Dr. Michael Burlingame helped bring this beautiful sculpture to our campus. Dr. Kent served as a member of the sculpture advisory board and Dr. Burlingame advised Mr. Lundeen on Lincoln's personality, traits, and history. Lincoln signed the Morrill Land Act on July 2, 1862 which provided the resources for creating the University of Illinois. In 1867, University of Illinois was established for the "purpose of fostering access to higher education for the working people" a continuing goal of UIS.

|Over the Counter Medicines: Making Safe Choices
|Thursday, January 31, 2013
When seeking pain relief or fever reduction, patients are faced with many over-the-counter (OTC) options. The array of choices can be overwhelming, especially when also trying factor in any potential interactions with other medications, or health issues the patient may face. Here are some tips from your family doctor to help reduce confusion and increase the safety of use of over-the-counter medications.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also known as NSAIDs) are a class of readily available over-the-counter medications; included in this group of drugs are ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. These medications work well to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever; they are often used to treat minor joint pain, headaches, swelling associated with injury or fever associated with illness. However, they can have some not-so-healthy side effects, especially if used in high doses over a long period of time.
The unhealthy side effects of NSAIDs occur because of the way the medications work in the body. This group of drugs functions by reducing the amount of a naturally occurring chemical called cyclooxygenase, or COX for short. There are a few different versions of COX that our body produces, each working at a different location. Over-the-counter NSAIDs block or reduce the functionality of all COX molecules indiscriminately. Reducing one version of COX will treat pain and lower fevers; unfortunately, this can also leave the lining of the stomach susceptible to inflammation. With long-term use, NSAIDs can lead to gastric ulcers and bleeding within the gastrointestinal tract.
In addition, NSAIDs can decrease blood flow to the kidneys through a second chemical pathway. This leads to elevated blood pressure, especially in patients already taking medications for high blood pressure. NSAIDs can also further reduce kidney function in those with chronic kidney disease. Thinning of the blood is known to occur as a side effect of NSAID medications, so use of these drugs should be avoided in anyone taking daily aspirin, Coumadin, or other blood thinners.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol®) is another type of commonly used over-the-counter medication. It is often used as a pain reliever and fever reducer, although it remains unclear exactly how the drug works. Acetaminophen is known to cause liver and kidney damage at doses in excess of 3000 mg per day (equal to six extra strength tablets in 24 hours). Complicating matters is the fact that acetaminophen is found in combination with many prescription pain relievers; if you are using a prescription pain medication, be sure it does not contain acetaminophen prior to using Tylenol® as an adjunct therapy.
When used properly, over-the-counter medications can be safe and effective in the treatment of everyday pain and fevers. Be sure to check with your family physician regarding your own medical problems and prescription medications prior to initiation of any supplemental medication regimen.

Fashion Victim: Don't Wear White
Ah, February. Beginning with the eternally pessimistic groundhog, rounding the bend with the world's number one excuse to make you feel like a sad, single slob, and topping it all off with endlessly dreary puddles of grey-brown slush. If it weren't for awards season (which, admittedly, I can never be bothered to watch, but which always results in a flurry of internet activity on Monday morning to see what everyone wore—seriously, Gaga, an egg-womb-vessel?) and the various fashion weeks, it would be intolerable.
Not that fashion week, ipso facto, doesn't pursue its own logic of melancholy. Fashion is a fickle thing. It works on its own internal clock of consumption, ensuring that just as we approach the hot heights of summer we start hating hangover tanks and flourescents, longing for wool coats and uber-rich reads and purples and greys; naturally, when winter's at its most bitter, we're teased with the ethereal, floating fabrics, crayon-box brights, backless dresses and strappy sandals that will be de rigeur this spring.
Even though I'm dreaming of when it will be warm enough to wear shorts that show that much thigh, I always retain a healthy dose of contempt for everyone who wears things that show that much thigh. So consider me befuddled when, lo and behold, I come across pages and pages of sheer white blouses, shorts, skirts (maxis, no less), jackets, everything. This is seriously some stupid joke, right? Surely no one in their right mind thinks that this is office appropriate:
Just as I was trying to sort my head around the famously stupid idea of the sheer maxi-mini—in any colour—(seriously who the fuck came up with this?), everyone decides to go into over-production of this particular disaster in the most unforgiving and STUPID hue of stark white. What next, head-to-toe white macramé for spring?
I always speak too soon.
I get it. Of all thousands of super stark eyesore colours that will be spewing their multicoloured vomit from the depths of your local F21, the number one (most overexposed) on-trend colour was white. In any iteration, preferably in clean cut or sheer varieties. Of course, leading the vanguard of pure white minimalism, Chloé, Céline and Calvin Klein come to the fore. We've all come to expect this. Calvin Klein has been sending down totally de-tinted looks since before time began; Chloé did a beautiful ballerina collection of ultra-femme frocks with strong bodices, bitty waists and full skirts in the typical be-nuded hues; and nary a non-white separate could be seen from Céline. These guys almost get a pass. White and minimal is what we've come to expect from this lot over the years, so it kind of sucks that everyone decided to up and ape their steez—regardless of how notoriously un-spill-proof said steez may be.
And while there were some great contenders (The Row sent a pared-down, minimalized collection with a simplified palette of whites, blacks, and blushes with a few simple maxi dresses that might float beautifully off the skin in the height of sticky season, and Dolce and Gabbana, certainly a far cry from minimal, sent some texturally magnificent and ultra-hot lace minis that I simply love), the vast majority of white looks were just inexcusable. To wit, we get the pajamas-trend (scroll down to number five—'The All-Day Pajama'—and go get fucked) as relaxed, easy, breezy, sheer, wide-legged, and alarmingly white. Obviously no one has been paying attention. Lose the jacket off of this look from Reed Krakoff and you essentially get what I wear to bed at night, when I wear things to bed at night. Aren't sweat pants (oh, I'm sorry, 'luxury lounge-erie'—cough-cough-barf) banned from ever seeing the light of day yet?
Same goes for my man Michael Kors. Lots of his collection wasn't as woefully under-fabric-ed, but when you send the luxe equivalent of sheer terry down the runway you essentially get haute bathrobes. Just because they're wearing belts doesn't make it real clothing.
And please don't get me started on something as terribly betokened as all-white 'Futuristic Militaristic' (thanks again Refinery 29):
I guess my lasting concern with white isn't so much the oft-abused 'don't wear white after Labour Day' dictum. As far as I'm concerned white is never the appropriate shade. Unless you're the bride, in which case, it's overused. I don't understand the appeal of a look that's guaranteed to make it blatantly obvious how much you're sweating, that ends up smeared with about fifteen layers of orange fake-tan or super-dark 'sun-kissed' concealer, that you can't wear anything under lest your knickers take front seat to your outerwear, that you better not wear out in the rain, and that you can't get drunk in for fear of spilling shit all over yourself.
Then again, neither do I understand wanting to dress up like a shiro cream puff, or anything at all prairie-inspired. So maybe this whole all-white thing should be left to the professionals. I'd rather keep as far away from it as I have from my virginity.

Statement from Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick on the latest CBO Cost Projections of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act
LANGHORNE, Pa – Congressman Fitzpatrick issued the following statement today on the revised Congressional Budget Office projection of the 10-year cost of President Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
"The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report which projects the 10-year cost of the President's healthcare reform legislation to be nearly double what was projected when the President signed it into law in March of 2010. This report outlines the true costs of the Affordable Care Act despite efforts by the administration to hide these figures from the public."
"President Obama's healthcare reform represents a missed opportunity to truly address the driving forces behind the rising costs of healthcare in the United States. In order to make healthcare more affordable and more accessible to the American people, we must enact real reforms such as the expansion health savings accounts for individuals, allowing small businesses to join together in Association Health Plans, allowing consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines, and passing meaningful tort reform to end the practice of defensive medicine."
"We must work to lower health insurance premiums and provide increased access to insurance. But we must do so using common sense free market reforms - not by putting the federal government between you and your doctor."
The CBO projections show that President Obama's healthcare law will cost $1.76 trillion over ten years, not $940 billion as originally projected.

Having just visited Cincinnati and Washington DC, two of the many cities in the US where people have taken to the streets to protest against corporate greed and political cronyism, I wonder what lessons we can learn from crowd psychology about the Occupy Wall Street movement and similar social movements that are popping up across the US and Europe. Why do people take part in these mass protests, and why do they spread like a wildfire? Why do these protests sometimes end violently and will they survive the winter? Here are five claims - some wrong and some right -- about crowd behavior which give us an insight into the collective protest.
# 1 The Crowd is Irrational
That's s a terrible misunderstanding. The French social psychologist Gustav Le Bon wrote the first book on crowd behavior more than a century ago, in 1895. He argued - wrongly - that once people are part of an anonymous crowd, they cannot think logically anymore and become hysterical. That is plainly untrue. If you look at the Occupy movement through the lens of modern social psychology what you see a large group of angry people who are able to organize themselves quickly and efficiently to make a huge political impact. Far from being hysterical, they are smart and determined. Mass behavior is often just a clever way to get things done. The famous "wisdom of crowds" effect shows that large groups are often better than experts in solving various problems, ranging from predicting the outcome of elections to solving collective action problems.
#2 The Crowd is Poor
People join mass protests to achieve personal goals that they are otherwise unable to realize, for example, getting jobs, affordable housing, or getting rid of their debts. But what counts in terms of people's motivations to protest is not so much their absolute poverty level but their relative poverty, that is, compared to their peers. Sociologists have called this relative deprivation and it is an important predictor of social unrest. The protesters across the US and Europe generally have a better life style than the average citizen of an African or South American city. But that's not what counts to them. These protesters feel they are entitled to the same lifestyle as the people that they share their cities with, the workers, bankers, and the politicians.
Here is a simple illustration of the importance of relative status. Economist Bob Frank asked people "Do you prefer to live in a house of 150 square meters in a street full of houses of 200 square meters or a 100 square meter house in a street with all 50 square meter homes." Although in absolute terms the first option is much better, most people went for the second option because it improved their relative standing. Our brains are hardwired to pay attention to our relative standing and any government should take this very seriously if they allow wealth differences to expand.
In his recent book "The Spirit Level: Why more equal societies almost always do better" the British sociologist Richard Wilkinson (with Kate Pickett) provide a lot of statistics to show that the more unequal a society, the more stressed and unhappy people are and the more chance of social unrest. It is not surprising that the Occupy protests started in the US where the income gap between the rich and poor is much greater than anywhere else in the Western world.
#3: All Crowd Members are Alike
At first sight, the Occupy movement consists of a motley crew of individuals who appear not to have too much in common. The demonstrators I saw in Cincinnati and Washington were men and women, young and old, whites and blacks, employed and unemployed. At the square in Cincinnati I saw well-dressed man in his forties carrying a sign reading "dissent is the ultimate act of patriotism." Yet when there is a common enemy such as the Wall Street bankers or politicians a new crowd identity quickly forms and they start to behave and act as a single entity. Social psychologist Naomi Ellemers showed in a classic laboratory experiment that when individuals find themselves in a low status group but their opportunities to move into a higher status group are blocked, they start to identify more strongly with their low status ingroup and do all they can to overthrow the high status group. At the same time, mass protests quickly fall apart once people's goals are reached
#4 The Crowd Has No Face
There are no leaders, at least not any clear ones in the Occupy movement. That's both a strength and weakness of the crowd. By operating without any clear structure or hierarchy they are very difficult to control by the police but at the same time it may be difficult to make a political impact without any clear leaders? Yet there are most definitely informal leaders in the crowd. Such people usually well-connected in their social network and so they are able to rapidly mobilize their peer group to join the crowd. We can argue that the Occupy movement - just like the Arab Spring and London summer protests -- are the first Twitter and Facebook movements. Because of the power of these new social media technologies to quickly mobilize and link social networks such movements may gain pace very quickly.
#5 The Long Hot Summer Protests
Much research has been done into the relationship between heat and crowd violence in many places around the world. Social psychologists Anderson and Bushman have written about it extensively. They compared the amount of public violence across various U.S. cities and showed that violence increases with temperature. The Italian scholar Lombroso showed a century earlier that political protests in Europe were more likely to take place in the summer months. An obvious explanation is that nice weather attracts a lot of people to the streets and that strengthens the crowd. The timing of the Occupy movement in the late summer is therefore no coincidence. Whether it lasts through the cold and dark winter remains to be seen.

This brisk early seascape served as a sketch for a large-scale painting—now lost—that Monet exhibited at the Salon in 1868. He likely painted it during a visit to his family at Le Havre, the Normandy port town where he had grown up, identifiable by the jetty and lighthouse at right. Monet gave the sketch to his friend, a journalist named Antoine Lafont, who served as a witness at Monet's marriage in June 1870—hence the inscription at lower left: "A son ami Lafont, 1870."

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson(notes) dropped an easy, game-winning touchdown pass agains the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. If you haven't seen the clip, we embedded it earlier on Shutdown Corner.
After the game, Johnson placed the blame for the flub not on himself nor the pass nor the lights nor the defender nor the pressure of the situation. Nope; he blamed it on the big guy...

I've gathered you here to talk about something very near and dear to my heart. We're here to talk about monsters.
Specifically, those crazed wrestlers designed, through one gimmick or another, to scare us and inspire our wrestling favorites to great acts of heroism. Over the years there have been almost too many to count, ranging from the truly frightening (Abdullah the Butcher) to the insane (Luther) to the downright odd (the Boogeyman), and they are a big part of the spectacle that makes wrestling so special.
Men in these roles, like Vader and The Undertaker, have shaken the foundations of federations and made the entire wrestling industry tremble at their passing. But this list isn't about those people. Those people were awesome.
No, this list is about the men who were set up to be big, scary, intimidating monsters and somewhere along the way they just...weren't. The laughable, the cheesy, the inept and the clumsy, here is our list of the top eight least intimidating monsters in wrestling history.
And here's hoping none of them are hiding in your closet ready to jump out and ask for bus fare.

Did you know that dressers, bureaus and chests of drawers all developed from the use of and improvement to medieval floor chests, primarily in Europe. England and France have the earliest history in the development of chests or coffers into dressers and chests of drawers, most times owned by nobility or people of means. Later, dressers and high chests became a staple in juried carpenters' workrooms, holding tools and supplies, not clothing.
End of history lesson for this week.
This old bureau or dresser is finished in ASCP Louis Blue. It was probably built in the Philadelphia area around the time of the Civil War. Original carved wooden drawer pulls are still affixed, as are the original barrel locks and wooden key guards in each drawer. Beautiful condition, it measures apprx. 38″W x 37+"H x 17″D and is priced at $295. Great height for a baby's room.
A little more history, anyway. Headboards were used as far back as the times of the Pharoahs, pre-3100BC. Again, from medieval times up to the Depression-era, headboards were used to reflect the cultural background and wealth of the owner(s). All cultures produced grand headboards and the styles and materials are almost infinite. This one is a Depression-era piece for a full-size bed. Its finished in ASCP Olde White and distressed for effect. The central plaque almost appears to be a "tree of life" depiction. Priced at only $135, these never stay in the shoppe very long. I've added sturdy D-rings to the reverse side to allow it to be fitted directly to the wall so the bed can be moved and made without having to contend with an attached headboard. Make it up, push it back. Ahhh, culture and wealth, I guess my headboard would've been an old piece of plywood. Good to have met Gloria……..
Nicely done reproduction Olde English floor cabinet stands well over 6′ H x 42″W x apprx 18″ D. Priced at $485.
Could be a unique planter, coffee table or server, this is an old cart carrier for compressed air, likely from an old auto repair shop and probably from the 1950s. They'd wheel these out with the air tanks to your old '54 Plymouth to get the tires up for that weekend drive.
Summer's about 1/2 over already and the kids will be back in school soon, so hang in there. Some of the summer-time wall plaques are still up, but we'll be putting these away as Labor Day approaches.
Some of the 1920s wooden beach girls around the shoppe. Nice table toppers for the shore or lake house.
A metal armillary sphere on stand. These were developed as working models way back when Europeans believed the Earth to be the center of the universe. Grander types had models of the sun and stars, all smaller than the earth globe itself, though. Theory went bust, so now we have ornaments…………
Finally for today, we brought this nice vintage mirror in yesterday. No place to hang it as its 3′ across with beveled edging and beautiful flowered engravings. Clear wall clips are used to place it. We intended to put it at the Cape May house, but its too large. Gloria hasn't priced it yet, but its hiding in the shop's restroom, if its something you want to see.
To end, this is Ali's dog, Liam, trying to figure whether my cup of coffee is edible or a waste of his precious time.
OK, nice day, I have both dogs. Ali's in a friend's wedding group and large pieces are beginning to move a bit more briskly, so off to work. Enjoy the weekend.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Two models of a toy car which may pose a choking hazard to young children are being voluntarily recalled by Li Peng Enterprises, Inc., of Los Angeles, Cal., in an agreement reached with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.The plastic toys, sold as wind-up and battery-powered models, consist of a panda pushing another panda in a four-wheel cart. Each cart has an umbrella with plastic discs and balls hanging from the umbrella. The carts are labeled "MUSICAL CAB ST-22 (A or B) MADE IN TAIWAN."The balls on the umbrellas and other small parts can come off and present a choking hazard to young children. Consumers should immediately take the toys away from children, discard the toys or return them to the retail store where purchased for a full refund.Approximately 4,800 of the wind-up toys and 3,600 of the battery-powered models were sold between November 1987 and January 1988 for $2.50 each.

Very Special Beer crime. We know its out there. We had faith that there are VSB Units out there in the police departments of the land. Until today - when it became abundantly clear who is really watching out for those of us who would enjoy that very special beer:
Two Madbury teenagers charged with stealing from parked cars and vandalizing Water Country will also be charged with a felony alleging the theft of beer from a home, said police Capt. Mike Schwartz. The police captain credited neighborhood bloggers for spreading the word that police wanted to identify the owner of some "very special beer" stolen from a residential garage. In particular, he thanked Pat Remick of the Woodlands Neighborhood Blog, which is posted on www.seacoastonline.com.
Bloggers, baby. That is what holds society from going right over the edge into the pits of social disorder. Bloggers who take their cues from old Scooby Doo episodes, that is. I bet it was Old Man Smithers. And he would have gotten away with it but for those interfering kids.

Non-Federal funding. Year 01:$103,410
Investigator: Joseph T. Hupp
Dept. of Chemistry
Northwestern University
Congressional District: Illinois Ninth
Statement of Problem/Explanation of Need: A compelling problem of substantial state and regional significance is groundwater contamination with heavy metals, nitroaromatics, heteroaromatics, polyhalogenated aromatics and chloroalkanes. Closely relate to this problem are issues of contaminant detection and water quality assurance. This proposal addresses the need low cost, high-reliability, remote sensors for groundwater quality assessment.
Anticipated Results: The feasibility of a novel "molecular recognition" approach to groundwater quality assessment will be demonstrated via the construction and evaluation of chemically tailored fiber optic and array sensors. Once the generality of the approach has been established, advanced devices and assemblies, designed for enhanced contaminant selectivity and sensitivity, will be developed and constructed.

Price paid: $ 750
Features: The guitar was made in Nashville, Tennessee (in the USA if you didn't know). It has a 24 3/4" scale neck with 24 frets, which looks like narrow jumbo frets to me. The neck is fat like a baseballbat and has a rosewood fretboard. Both the neck and body is in mahogany as Gibson usualy uses. Mine is a clean black (called ebony) finish but also was made in a finish called 'Dark Wineburst'. The brige is a Tune-O-Matic as usual for the SG models. The tuners are Die-Cast I think. It only has one microphone and it's in brige position, it's a 500T humbucker. The controls are simple, 1 tone, 1 volume and a coil-tap switch. // 7
Sound: The sound is amazing. I've read quite allot about this guitar and almost everyone thinks that the guitar doesn't sound so good with clean settings on, but I really love the cleans on this baby! And with distortion it really shines, oh baby it can blow down an audience! It has a full warm sound, which is what you get when you mix mahogany with humbuckers. I play mostly thrash-metal but I also play rock, punk, pop and more. And I think it fits 'em all, just tweak with the tone-knob and the coil-tap and you'll get what you want. I use an old Marshall called Master Reverb 30 (made '86), which sounds really good in clean mode and thrashy/stoner in distorted mode. I also use it through a Zoom 7.1ut and you can get every sound you would ever want throgh that (but it needs quite much tweaking). // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: I don't know how it was set at the factory as I bought it 2nd-hand. When I got it the action was a little too high for me, but just a little (even though it was quite low). The pickup was a little low, so I raised it a bit. It looks like the frets were taken care of not long before I got it. The neck was straight as an arrow. The body and headstock had a few dings, witch I prefer (I like when you see that they have been used). When I got it I were going to clean it a bit, but didn't think before I did it, I used a little deodurant spray because I thought I smelled a little bad and it wasn't good for the laquer and I got two circle shaped marks on it. But they doesn't show so much thou. // 8
Reliability & Durability: This baby WILL stand a Live gig, that's fore sure. Unless you throw it into the ground with the neck first, real hard. It's build like a tank. The only thing that's bad is that it has small strapbuttons, but as always you should change them to strap-locks. The finish seems good, and I think it's nitro-celulose, and it will wear of in time just as it should. So gig with it without a backup, if you don't wanna destroy it on stage. // 10
Overall Impression: I mainly play thrash-metal and this baby fits it damn good. I can tell you that I'm no expert of playing but I know a lot of guitars. This is my first Gibson but I've played some before and I really love the quality of 'em. I own a modified Gregg Bennett Avion 3, a modified Ibanez Roadstar II and as you see I like to modify my guitars, what should I do with this one (maybe strip the neck down to the wood, that wold look nice). If it were stolen I would be damn sad because I'm a student and as we all know students are quite poor so it would be hard for me to get money for a new guitar, but if I had the money I would definitely get the same model again if I could find a new one. Actually I love everything about it, of course it could have tonepros bridge and tailpiece, sperzel tuners and other extravagant features but what the hek, it does what it suppose to do! When I was in the store I was there to try an Epiphone Firebird Studio (limited) but the neck was heavy and the bodyshape wasn't made for my knee, so I tried almost every guitar theyv'e had and the one that was the nicest was actually an cheap Epi SG. So I went to another store to try this SG and damn I'm glad I did. So if you find any of these guitars, try 'em and you'll probably go home happy with a new guitar. // 9
Price paid: $ 500
Purchased from: Ebay
Features: My SG-X is a 1999 which was the last year Gibson made them. It has an army green finish with a black pick guard. One Volume knob, one Tone knob and a toggle Switch to coil tap the one humbucker it has. 24 fret set neck. Whole thing is made from mahogany, but because it's an SG it's relatively light. (Thin body). It also has a tune-o-matic bridge. That's all she wrote! The only reason I gave this a 9 out of 10 was because I really want a sea-foam green one. I found this one on ebay and had to have it. And to be honest, I'm lucky I found one in any shade of green! // 9
Sound: I mostly play indie/rock/pop/punk music in my band Euralea! So I have to have something that can play nice clean chords and sound heavy, which it does. I play alot more lead work than most Indie bands do so it has to deliver in that department... Which it does. I was really That concerned with how it was going to sound when I bought it, just because they're so rare and I really really want one. I'm collecting them now. But I have Never heard a guitar sound this big before.
I plug it into my Marshall valvestate avt 50h and crank it to 11 and it roars. It has something to do with how the wood in the body and the neck resonates so well and how the pickup "picks up" all of that. It sounds Amazing. I also make more shreddy instrumentals in my off time and this guitar isnt the ideal guitar for some vai sounding stuff but it certainly works! I just played the National anthem on it last night at a ballpark and it sounded great! It might be the best sounding guitar I own. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: I had it shipped to me so the seller tuned all the strings down. When I got it I tuned it up and that was it. Action was perfect. Didn't have to adjust the pickup height because it was right where I like it. It has a couple dings but nothing that takes the paint off. Just those dents in the finish you get from bumping into stuff. No rusted parts at all. The guitar looks amazing and plays like a dream. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I've been playing this guitar a ton. For bands practices, it has turned into my go-to guitar. I play gigs with it all the time and it shows no sign of stopping. The action hasn't moved and none of the electronics have gone out. I haven't had any need to install strap locks yet, which I usually do. All of my other guitars have them. The strap just stays on. The finish has came off at all either.
I'm going to hold onto this guitar for a while and sell it sometime way off in the future when the value goes up and up... But honestly I don't know if I'll be able to sell it! It plays so good and matches my style perfectly. We have to do the occasional All Time Low cover and of course this guitar will sound perfect there! This guitar is as solid as a rock. The tuning doesn't even go out that much. I tune it about once a week and it's fine! // 10
Overall Impression: Like I said, I play Indie punk for Euralea! And I do my own Instrumental stuff and it fits fine for both. I've been playing for about 5 years. If this guitar gets stolen I MIGHT she'd a tear! It's that awesome. I would definitely start searching for a new one but who knows how long that could take because these guitars are so hard to find. Even though it's what you could call a "Low Grade Gibson", it feels like a $2000 guitar. These guitars originally sold for what, a couple hundred bucks or so when they first came out? And now they're selling for around 800 bucks a piece. Sheesh. I was lucky with my price of $500.
That also included a hard shell case with grey fuzzy interior that looks great! I don't really care that much about cases but I'm glad I got it! All in all I'm Very happy with it and will buy more SG-X's in the future because for some reason I'm attached to them. Need more! I might buy a white pick guard in the future to Switch out the old black one, but I'll keep the old one just in case I sell the guitar. Hopefully this review helps anybody who was wondering about a SG-X! // 10
