Saying the case against chasidic abuse whistleblower Sam Kellner "seems to have no witnesses," Brooklyn state Assemblyman Dov Hikind called on Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes "to drop all charges against" Kellner, a constituent of his Borough Park district.
In a press release issued last Thursday, Hikind said that Kellner first approached him in 2008 for counsel after he discovered his son had been molested by Baruch Lebovits, a cantor and prominent member of the Munkacs community. Hikind's release noted that "was the first elected official in his district to address, the issues of child "abuse."
Hikind cited several reasons for why the case against Kellner should be dismissed immediately: what he called "recent revelations" by the DA about the unreliability of a key witness in the case, and Hikind's own determination that a tape recorded conversation — in "Hungarian Yiddish" — brought by Lebovits' son and that prosecutors have claimed is a "smoking gun" against Kellner, was "mistranslated."
Hikind reiterated his support for Kellner on his Saturday night radio show, where he interviewed Kellner's lead attorney, Michael Dowd.
On the broadcast, Dowd deemed the allegations that Kellner was "trying to shake down the Lebovits family 'insane,'" and noted that Kellner had in fact not only aided in the Lebovits case, but "helped the police and the district attorney's office in several other cases, helping to bring forward victims and getting them to cooperate with the authorities."
Dowd also noted that the extortion allegations against Kellner were first brought by Lebovits' son to the sex crimes prosecutors prosecuting his father who, according to Dowd, rebuffed them. "And then [a year after Lebovits' conviction], "magically, there was Michael Vecchione — who we have all heard a lot about lately in respect to other wrongful convictions — [who] accepted the case and prosecuted Sam."
A DA spokesman did not respond to a question asking for confirmation that the office knew about and rejected allegations against Kellner two years before his arrest.
Also last Thursday, a group of about 30 protesters gathered outside Hynes' Jay Street office to demand the DA drop the charges against Kellner.
Those in attendance included organizer Chaim Levin, a sexual abuse survivor and advocate, and anti-abuse advocates Mark Appel, Ben Hirsch and Nuchem Rosenberg. They were by joined by Doreen Giuliano, who believes her son, John Guica, convicted for murder by Hynes in 2005, is innocent, and Derrick Hamilton, who spent over 20 years in jail before being released on parole in 2011. (Hamilton, whose case involved now-discredited Det. Louis Scarcella, is appealing his conviction.)
Both of Hynes' challengers in the upcoming Democratic primary, Kenneth Thompson and Abe George, also attended the rally.
"What the DA has to explain in the Kellner case is how is it possible that two different units in his office, the Sex Crimes unit, which brought the case against Mr. Lebovits, and the Rackets Division, which brought the case against Mr. Kellner, brought two cases that are diametrically opposed," Thompson told The Jewish Week at the rally. "It does not make sense. And both of those cases are still pending. How is that possible?"
Thompson added: "What investigation was conducted about the allegations brought against Mr. Kellner before he was indicted? Did Mike Vecchione [the chief of the Rackets Division] sit down with the sex crimes prosecutors and say, 'We are about to indict Mr. Kellner?' We need to know all of this. A judge should have been brought into this case to find out what [was] going on. [This case] just shows how dysfunctional the leadership is in the Brooklyn DA's office."
Kellner's legal team has urged that an "outside investigation" be conducted.
According to Abe George, Kellner's case "is emblematic of what's wrong with the DA's office — that the singular consideration is not justice or what the right outcome is, but politics." Observers have long held that, in cases of alleged sexual abuse in the haredi community, Hynes has deferred to ultra-Orthodox leaders in order to curry political favor.
Shlomo Weiss, who grew up in the chasidic community and was sexually abused by his father for many years, also attended the rally. While he told The Jewish Week he did not know Sam Kellner personally, he showed up because, "If I have taken away anything from my experience, where family members watched me get molested since I was a [child], it is that there is nothing more amoral than watching a kid be molested and keeping quiet.
"That is why it hurts when we see a [good parent like Sam Kellner] not selling out [and reporting an abuser] and being persecuted to historic proportions," he continued.
What is even worse in this case, Weiss added, is that it appears that Lebovits' backers, along with the DA "used a [legitimate] victim [of Lebovits] to destroy Kellner."
A version of this story first appeared last Thursday on The Jewish Week's website, www.thejewishwek.com.

Dear John,
I hope this comment finds you well. While I appreciate your comment that a careful review should be undertaken. I would counter that the careful review should have been conducted before the indictment. This case never would have made it this far if it was not for Michael Vecchione and the political connections of Aruther Aidala, Moshe 'Gabbi' Friedman of the Zali faction of Satmar and the Lebovitz family. Please explain to me how the case is not political when a lawyer to a notorious convicted pedophile and former Hynes campaign manager and staffer walks in the head of Rackets bureau and Hynes Lt -the already embattled-Mike Vecchione with a previously discredited claim of Lebowitz's son, a bum translation of a tape and the testimony of Williamburg's Zali faction #1 guy to arrest a parent of an abuse victims who helped the DA's office and the PD?
Now that the case has imploded the DA still refuses to drop charges and wants to push the case until after the election? Please explain how this case is anything but political?
The only review which needs to take place is by an independent party, possibility the FBI to determine how this case went so far and how the DA made such a mess of it and why none of the people involved in witness tampering at the original Lebovits trail were picked up.
Wishing you all a good Shabbos.
im following the story foe some time .I just don't understand ,if the main witness was paid to make these aligation against kellner.
its only fair that the brooklyn da sees this and should drop the case ,the whole case stinks ,it must have been some people with connections,got together and decided, we will bring down kellner, for going after their boddy lebowitz .
the only thing they forgot that hashem is watching and sent the journalist hela winston and other's ,who uncovervd this travasty of justice .
Brooklyn da ,please do the right thing and drop this case now .
Join us in our efforts to defend Mr. Kellner at defendkellner.blogspot.com
While this is clearly a problem with members of Hynes staff it
Is not Politics.After a careful and deliberate view of the evidence Hynes will do the right thing.To dismiss before a careful review is undertaken would be error.

I have linked to a Mexican rice recipe several times. The more that I made this recipe the more I tweaked it to get it just right. I think that I finally have got it right.
This is very close the rice you find served at Mexican Restaurants. I took it to a family dinner recently and everyone loved it. Both of my husband's aunts wanted to know how I made it. So, I thought that I would post the recipe.
This is really good as a side dish for any Mexican style meal.
Mexican Style Rice
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add rice. Cook, stirring constantly, until puffed and golden. While rice is cooking, sprinkle with salt and cumin. Stir in tomato sauce and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

Patagonia Beer Works Just Great Outdoorsby
Now that Patagonia has a beer of its own, all it needs is a little fleece koozie. The outdoor apparel and gear retailer teamed up with America's third-largest craft beermaker, New Belgium Brewing, to launch California Route, a limited-edition beer celebrating the clothing company's 40th anniversary.
Does this officially make beer the drink of outdoorsmen and women? "Hasn't beer always been outdoorsy?!! Especially when in cans!" said Patagonia spokeswoman Jess Clayton in an e-mail. "The Patagonia family loves beer, especially New Belgium, so the collaboration made good sense," he adds. "This is just a promotional, one-time special collaboration. Patagonia is not getting into the beer-business in a permanent way."
For New Belgium, biking in particular is part of the brand's identity: The company legend depicts founder Jeff Lebesch becoming inspired to make his own Belgian beer after a bike tour in Europe, and the company logo is a bicycle.
The new Patagonia brew is described as "an organic California common-style beer" (it's a lager) that's "canned for adventure." Just don't turn up at your local Patagonia outlet looking for a six-pack. The 12-ounce cans will be sold at liquor stores in Seattle, Portland (Ore.), Chicago, Boulder (Colo.), Denver, and—in California—Santa Monica, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Ventura.

Murderer-developed file systems introduce new features
Hans Reiser, the software engineer who developed code for the Linux operating system, wasn't just convicted of first degree murder in the disappearance of his ex-wife. He's also become the butt of an incredibly obscure joke. Someone edited a comparison of file systems to add a new feature to ReiserFS and Reiser4 — unlike any other file system available today, the two developed by Hans Reiser will "Murder Your Wife." The change was removed from the Wikipedia page within 90 minutes.

Unlike with printed books, libraries do not have the right to lend ebooks. Out of the six major trade publishers in the UK only three – HarperCollins, Random House and Hachette – offer some of their ebooks to libraries.
Research conducted in February 2013 by Shelf Free, an independent group set up and led by librarians to raise awareness of the opportunities and issues around e-books in public libraries, found that 85% of ebooks were not available to public libraries.
Out of the top 50 most borrowed adult fiction books of 2012, only 7 were made available by publishers for libraries to e-lend – and even then it depended on which supplier the library service was signed up to. With one supplier, only two titles were available.
Barbara Band, CILIP President, said:
"Public libraries play a vital role providing everyone with the opportunity to access information, reading and knowledge. We need copyright legislation that allows libraries to play their role, that is fit for purpose in the digital age and provides reasonable payment for authors and publishers.
There have been positive steps to make more e-books available for lending, through e-lending pilots and the Sieghart Review of e-lending. But we are still failing to take advantage of the benefits ebooks can bring – to develop essential literacy skills, to interest more people in reading more, and to build a more knowledgeable, informed and connected society. Libraries should have a statutory right to lend ebooks as they do physical books."
Rights holders, often publishers, are able to decide whether to make ebooks available to lend through libraries or not, which they cannot do with printed books. Local authorities have a statutory duty to provide public library services. Under the 1964 Public Libraries & Museums Act local authorities must "lend books and other printed material free of charge for those who live, work or study in the area."
The difference in treatment of printed and e-books stems from copyright law where the printed book is regarded as a commodity that can be purchased and sold on to others, while e-books are "communicated to the public", which can only be done under licence. This means libraries are not able to purchase and lend ebooks in the same way they purchase and lend physical books.
CILIP is supporting a European-wide campaign for the right to e-read, which calls for the statutory right of public libraries across the European Union to purchase e-books and make them available for lending, as part of a revised European copyright framework – which is currently being consulted by the EU. The campaign culminates in E-reading Day on 23 April 2014, which is UNESCO's World Book and Copyright Day.

Zehila Frias placed fourth to medal at 165 pounds. It was her first trip and she will be back next year for a shot at becoming state champ. Sophomore Alexis Pelitire was ranked 10th entering the event and finished seventh overall in the same weight division as Frias.
Both girls have vowed to work harder, maybe drop down a weight class or two and work toward getting their own state championship crown.
Segovia was second in state her freshman year, fifth as a sophomore and was third in her division last year.
"It feels amazing to finally get it. I've overcome a lot – injuries, pain and a lot of hard work to get there," Segovia said.
Segovia wasn't really challenged by her 4A competitors this year as the second place entrant was more than 150 pounds behind Segovia. Even the 5A champion had a total in her three lifts 75 pounds lighter than the Lady Trojan.
"She really needs to go to the national level to really find some competition and fire up her competitiveness," said Trojan powerlifting coach Alan Burkett.
"I'm very proud of the girls and am happy to see that Elizabeth achieved her goal and obtained her state championship title."
Segovia is the third state champion for coach Burkett. Marlena Garza won in 2008, Leeza Garcia in 2009 and now Segovia puts her name on the top trophy.
"I really love the sport. It's been a big part of my life the past four years," Segovia said.
Winning the state championship as a senior is not the end. She has eyes on competing nationally and maybe internationally.
"We're looking at the national meet in Boise, Idaho, in May. Then we'll see how it goes from there." Segovia said.
As for future plans, a few years from now, Segovia plans on owning a gym of her own and will work to encourage young women to get into weight lifting as a means to better fitness and to perform better in all sports.
"The girls who get into weight lifting usually dominate in their other sports," Segovia said.
"She (Segovia) really inspires me. I've always looked up to her," Frias said.
The Lady Trojans have had a good program over the years and with another state championship trophy in the trophy case it gets even better. And, the Trojans may have to expand the trophy case in the next couple of years as Frias and Pelitire continue to compete and challenge for state championships of their own over the next two years.

NEW YORK (AP) - Each time Tim Tebow steps on the field for the New York Jets, defenses will know what to expect.
Well, the unexpected, of course.
The versatile and elusive quarterback with the flair for comeback victories was acquired Wednesday from the Denver Broncos and will give the Jets' offense a boost - for at least a few snaps a game.
He won't start as he did in Denver, not with New York committed to Mark Sanchez. But Tebow gives the Jets the option to run the wildcat offense and provides an intriguing presence when games are on the line.
General manager Mike Tannenbaum says there's no doubt Sanchez is still ``our guy,'' and coach Rex Ryan says ``there will be no problem at all'' having the quarterbacks co-exist.

5 Seeds per pack
Indoor as well as Outdoor, Indoor
200 - 300 g/m² in SOG
6 - 8 weeks
Nirvana Short Rider is a hybrid of our discontinued marijuana strains Top 44 and Early Special. Top 44 has long been a trade favorite because of its ability to produce worthwhile amounts of strong, skunky buds in just 44 days of flowering. Even though Early Special itself lacks this characteristic, its Siberian Cannabis Ruderalis genes give Short Rider the unique ability to "autoflower" - to flower independently of light cycles, like lowryder. This means you won't need to maintain a strict lighting schedule for these marijuana seeds - they will flower regardless! These seeds are a must for cannabis growers with limited space or who simply want to finish extra early. The quality of the weed is amazing considering how little time it takes these marijuana seeds to finish.

received quickly to Texas, US. started all 5. 3 of 5 germinated, all were female and all were stable. this was my first auto and honestly Im gunna stick to reg seeds. The end product was very skunky and pungent, but the buds were loose and airy. Very decent...just not my thing.
Easy and fun! Pretty little girl. 5 out of 5 from 1 gal pots to 3 gal then 5. But she likes it tight so 3 gal is good. Great soil and she loves organic kelp. One was not a short rider but looks like the white widow rider! Will grow her for sure next. White widow auto is a magnificent plant. Short rider is too but the widow will yield 2x more than rider. Rider is done in 50 days. Rider does the job and gives you good smoke fast Looks like the widow will go for 2-3 more weeks. So very happy and grateful to you. Growing over 30 years and the autos are fun and easy and wonderful to put in with your photoperiod girls creating a never ending garden. Mahalo nirvana!
I grew under LED light. Start to finish 8 weeks. Great bud.
fast grower, can't get any easier. excellent choice if you need smoke fast
Just to be sure, Nirvana has always come thru as Professional as possible....can't wait to try the Short Rider autoflower
The customer has rated the product but has not posted a review, or the review is pending moderation
This is a great plant! She's not short by far at least when you think of autoflowers. She grew to about 4ft and took 10 weeks to finish. But, the quality and yield are worth the wait. A whopping 2.5 oz dried and cured. That's from one plant. I used Fox Farm nutes and Kellogg's Organic soil. Don't for get love and attention. She grew listening to Zeppelin and Floyd. Great Smoke!
Nirvana always delivers! They just shipped my seventh order! So far they have delivered within 15 days of ordering. Their seed are great too! I love the Short Rider! I recommend it to any one who likes to have a plant going 365. Short growth period with a really nice "Daytime" high. I recommend Nirvana to all my friends. :-)
only 2 weeks of delivery to the land of smile, very impressive!!! Love Nirvana
I grew Short Rider outdoors in western Washington US. It's classic skunk weed. I planted on May 10 and harvested August 17. I got a little over an ounce of bud per plant. This strain is easy to grow and would be a good choice for a beginner.
I have to give 5, seeing as I have received every order without fail. Straight to business. This short ryder is one of the most beautiful girls I have grown, one of those you don't want to bring down. I didn't want to grow a couch-lock, so I harvested with the 90/10 cloudy trichome. 1 plant 43.4g under 1200w. I wanted to do the 20/4 cycle, but my rhino has priority over all with the 12/12. Very pleased with the quality and reward. Thanks again Nirvana.... AKfortyeight.
Seeds came in 14 days after purchase all have been germinated 2nd buy from Nirvana and 100% satisfaction quality product
Ok I ordered this Short Rider and got it back in U.S Very Fast, about 3 weeks from mailing my payment. I got 4 instead of 5 seeds, but didn't expect to get anything, so I was fine with it. 3 of 4 Short Rider seeds germinated, and took 11 weeks from germination to Harvest, Buds Sparkle, Tested and it is Very Good smoke. I am now Curing it. Overall Short Rider, and Nirvana are a Safe Bet. I am now waiting for confirmation of my Payment for Papaya, and will let ya know how this one goes, when finished.
Very good for beginners. Good smoke.
These are so fast..and they all germinated..as always Nirvana's shipping department rocks..and a Happy grower I am!!
Received seeds 7 days after ordering and had 5 out of 5 seeds germinate.
Just received my seeds!!!! Ordered on the 17th of July! They arrived here to Atlantic Canada on the 4th of Aug.!!! First impressions of the seeds, short riders look good out of the 5 there's 2 small ones but we'll see how they are!!! The freebies all look good nice and big except for 3 are on the small side!!! Thanks NIRVANA!!!! Pretty sure you have a customer for life!!! Updates to follow!!! Going to start some tomorrow!!!
Bought some of these Short Rider seeds several years ago. Got ill and had them put away over two years. Found and planted 5 of them in straight dirt. Three popped. Now will water them hit them with some light nuts in a month and see if can get them to flower.
my short riders started april8, had cold nights in the low 40's days 50's to 60's outside grow in 5 gal buckets. took 31 days to show flowers (i think the temps may have slowed them). day 60 now looking good! looks like little x-mas trees, budding out great, im figuring 3 to 4 more weeks and harvest. about 2ft tall average and guessing about a oz dry per plant! cold spring temps and short spring days but they still did very well, thank you they are everything that you said they would be!
Hi, I just got my seeds within 10 days. Im from the Norteast USA. And I started 1 seed,and it germinated. I have 4 left. I Ordered seeds from 2 other so called good sorces, and never got my seeds. after 80 days, I just want to say, NIRVANA! you have a lifetime customer here!! I dont have to go anywhere else! Thankyou Nirvana!!!
Gracias nirvana por haberme renviado el paquete.. el segundo me llego bien !! agradecido saludos
I usually don't write reviews until I have a harvest.. but I felt I had to. First time using autos in hydro- great idea! Never seen anything healthier and bigger for their age(5wks). Using .5ml/gal Three part Advanced nutes, plus 1mil/gal Cal mag. Works flawlessly. Adjust ph of course. Slowly increasing bloom now..
As usual all 5 popped and grew well. Easy auto to grow as it is a version of lowryder from other breeders. I used from 1 -3 gal pots with about same yield; it is a small auto and no need for huge pots; 2 gal is optimal for Short Ryder. Tight buds, unique flavour and 60 days to harvest make this a no brainer even for an experienced grower. NEVER TRANSPLANT AN AUTOFLOWER PLANT. PLANT IT IN THE 2 GAL POT AND SPARINGLY WATER IT. Nutes once after 30 days in good soil. Foxfarm Cha Ching until harvest. It will grow into a work of art.
Received these on the US East coast within two weeks of placing my order. Germinated one seed to test this strain out and I have to say I am a bit confused by my results compared to the other reviews. I have my plant in a 5 gal air pot under 600 watt HPS light using FFOF soil. The plant went into flower 32 days after germination and kept growing I finally had to tie down the main stem after it reached 4 feet in height. Not very short or even close to what other people were saying they had for a plant height. These plants have been in flower for 73 days and look like they need another two weeks before they finish. How people are saying that these are finished in 55-60 days baffles me. The main cola on this plant is just about 12 inches in length and I can't wait for it to finish.
Just got my seeds today on 20 aug, ordered on 12 august fast..
Just germinate 2 of them and hoping to see it grow fast in my closet..thanx nirvana, and i like the packaging..cool..will update again..
Still vegging, but just wanted to give shipping props. Got it about 10 days after shipping. Very fast. 4/5 seeds were good which is fair. LEDing right now. Fast growth!
I can truly say that Short Ryder of Nirvana is a great strain, uniform in growth, autoflowers immediately, and with only a few weeks to go, and the buds glistening already, it will be a great smoke. I was skeptical when it came to Short Ryder and any autoflowering strain for that matter, but considering the germination rate (100%), health of the plant (perfect and disease resistant), as well as the ability to randomly change the light cycle, I am a true Believer :), thanx again to the great Nirvana team and to the breeders of this amazing strain. Will be ordering real soon.
Got my seeds in 10 days, very discreet and I did not do tracking. Purchased with bitcoint. Easy peasy. Great job Nirvana, can't wait to plant these for my first grow!
Love the plant
I started with 1 seed in a 2 gallon pot in potting soil. 24/7 CFL and plain water till I saw pistols then started bloom booster. Been alternating between straight water and a little booster. 58 days from sprout this plant is about 2.5 ft. tall and loaded with buds and the main cola is about 6 inches long. I don't know if growing weed is suppose to be this easy, or if this strain is that hardy. Nirvana is the only one for me! Thanx Nirvana, you have made growing easy!
Grown outdoors in 90+ temp in 3 gallons of ff ocean forest dirt and trio nutes. Huge cola with buds so heavy I had to prop them up. Surprise is the strong 2-toke high. Very nice. I will reorder these babies!
I'm still watching. 5seeds, 5 plants.they started flowering quickly under 24/7 CFLs. I'm eager to see the results.
My 1st time growing. Still learning. I used the Auto flowers. Going to try some diff. things this time around. Love watching them grow! Got my seeds to the U.S. in no time! I ordered more Short Ryders and Some Bubbleliciouse autos. Starting them up now. can't wait!
Grew 2 to maturity. I absolutely abused these plants. They suffered moves, power outages and neglect. They were green and healthy the entire time. I would recommend to beginners/cash croppers
After six seven weeks they already show the sex and has begun flowering. An Incredible fast maturing strain.
So far so good..Give the the Shorties a try.
This is the first auto-fem I've tried (my last was AK-48 regular, 7 males and WOW A very long lasting powerful head buzz w/ some body buzz great gaming weed). sorry, back to the shortys.
Got 5 seeds 3 germinated and are just over 1 month in and POW pre-flowers right on time but the odor is a bit concerning, personally I love the smell, but you know, neighbors.
Anyway I'm using a big 4100k CFL and 2 7800k grow lamps so while not the best of conditions they are coming along fine, the AK's came out fantastic, same lights, FF soil, mild nute's black strap molasses (unsulfured).
the 2 that didn't sprout are a complete disappointment since I am on a tight budget but am looking forward to a great harvest soon and am getting some auto-fem blue mystics in a few weeks.
I just wish a sativa strain could grow as fast since it's my favorite buzz but it's good to mix it up.
Nirvana will definitely get my next order very soon since these grow so darn fast, Joe
Planted in 3 gallon root pouch with quality garden shop soil mix dropped it in the "high pod" go easy on the ferts. and I was shocked by the yield. Nice High, Easy Grow
Careful, Even running large carbon filter It Stunk Up ENTIRE House!
Best strain ever for small spaced growers. This plant is one strong mfker that can take alot of abuse. The Stem is as hard as wrong. Excellent choice for first growers
If you like to smoke bud as much as I do you probably run low in no time. Well with this you only have 70 days (from seed) to enjoy ripe flavorful sticky buds. Two thumbs up.
My friend growed one pair from theese seeds and we are satisfied. We got nice skunky buds in short time. Plant was short, but grow time too and that's pleased us. :)
Planted 5 Feminized seeds all five grew to maturity. Used full strength ferts and feeds. all 5 had rock hard buds and 6/10" main colas. There were only 2 that got 36/38 inches, the other 3 were about 2 foot tall. The amount of resin they produce in such a short time is truly amazing!!! They all finished from seed in 55 days. I could have let them go a little longer but needed the room. I have already ordered them again along with the Jock Horror auto, and the Blue Mystic Auto. I give them a perfect rating.
TTen out of Ten germinated, 7 sprouted and grew into beautiful, not so short ladies. 3 of them smell and taste skunky. 3 of them smell and taste fruity and 1 of them is neutral, very neutral. I would recommend this strain for beginners indoor but for expert just go with regular or fem. seeds. Yield was ok considering it is autoflowering but was low for the plants sizes...
4 out of 5 seeds germinated in 3 days!.....Good, commercial quality bud in 9 weeks from seed to flower!....Indoor grow under HPS, soil, 17/7 light cycle and Miracle Gro plant food.....These things were over 3 feet tall at harvest time with a very strong skunk odor!....Good thing we have real skunks in the neighborhood as I used them as an excuse for the odor!....The buzz is not too overpowering, I mean, you'll still remember to flush the toilet after taking a dump!hehe....On a side note, I've had germination and delivery issues but after contacting AJ (aka Alice) everything worked out as it should have, she's the best!, I'd like to roll her up in a big fat blunt and enjoy the flavour as I exhale!....I'm not stoned, seriously!hehen>>>NIRVANA COMMENT: AJ aka Alice? I'm not sure either of them will like that! :-D
I got 5 seeds spouted 3 all 3 took 40-45 days later they all autoed all are about the same size 2 foot and budding up and smelling good cant wait for the final product so far so good. thank's nirvana!
Had a couple issues with germination but the end result was wonderful. I really loved this strain!
Took almost 2wks to get my 10 auto-fem short rider seeds in the mail.. but they came! Took about 4days full germ, been 5weeks today. Lost 1 as a baby (prob my fault). 9 left. 3 have been on flowering steroids last few days or so. Amazing! They're only 8 inches tall and look like tiny little bushes. Started em OD in great weather, than had to move ID on 20/4 about a week ago. they seem to like the ID conditions (about 200W rack of high output cfl) but nothin beats the sun. I'm gonna experiment and put a few of em OD to finish, we'll see which turns out best! I use dirt, old school. Need an HPS tho soon I think. So far so good. Can't believe they're flowering already! I'll let u know his they taste. Nirvana u rock!!
This is my first order with Nirvana and first try to grow on my own. Stealth package was delivered to me in a week. From my 5 Short Rider seeds 4 poped out. I placed under my red LED panel on 6/18 regime and they started flowering in about two weeks. No hydro, just regular soil and water. One plant is much more taller, the rest stay short. I love watching them and the smell is just great. Can't wait to smoke my babies !
Five feminised short rider seeds were the first seeds I ordered online. It was the first time I grew anything. I build myself a small micro cab and got these seeds.
In my opinion this was the best possible strain I could start with. The fact that they autoflowered on their own was a great benefit for a first time newbie grower such as myself. I only grew 1 seed at a time, and after each harvest the seeds germinated, except for the last one, but it was about a year old and it was my fault because I tried germinating it in rockwool and probably drowned it.
However the seeds germinated very smooth, and the plant took all the abuse a newb like me could dish out and it still gave me some sweet buds. This strain practicaly got me hooked to growing, and made me build up some confidence and experience. Aswell as being very fun to grow, the smell was great, even stinkier than the ICE plant I currently have gowing. I lsted the plant a bit and it kept very short, it kept to a height of about 30-35 cm and was bushy.
The high was very relaxed, and mellow, great body stone, it was great for getting in that couch and watching some movies, munching on some carrots, and it was the best damn weed I ever smoked at the time, way better than what dealers around my parts try to push anyway. I didn't get any hangovers the next day, and it helped quite a bit with lifting my mood. I didn't wait for the whole batch to cure properly before smoking it, so I can't say alot about the smell, but the few buds left in the jar, after a few weeks had passed, started to have a very pleasant fruity aroma.
So all in all this strain is great for begginers, or relaxed easy growers, the fact that it autoflowers is a trait some people look for these days, and these puppies definately autoflower. The last two grows I let the lights go for 24/7 all the way, the plants still autoflowered, no hermies, and grew really well and healthy. I've learned alot growing this strain, and it was good to me. After I try out more strains I might come back to this some day, and grow it with all the experience I've accumulated, just to get the maximum I can out of this strain.
I've grown these for three years, and they always deliver good yields. Beautiful buds and easy to grow.
All five seeds sprouted. Two weeks growth in a AeroGarden and doing great. Nice fat leaves. Nirvana has earned my business.
great strrain will do her over and over again yeilds higher than expected taste smell and overall stone was and is off tha f n charts cant go wrong with this 1 ladies n gents ya cant go wrong
The seeds were delivered on schedule and in one week came 5 sprouts out of 5 seeds! Growing well in the sunlight. Incredible, Reliable and effective! Now hungry for more.
2 out of 2 seeds planted the 21th of Feb and have now 2 flowering plants (26th March), been flowering for a week now. Very small plants that suit my growing space very well. Thank you.
short and just right for my grow room! just harvested today. will start mid april for our growing season outside, strong skunky,&tasty. mmm, as long as Nirvana can get me the seeds i will always buy from them. there honest and will help you out if homeland security gets your order! thank you guy. peace. oo using 2 8500k full spectrum flourscent lights /18/6 lighting & Nirvana soil tabs!!..................:)
Delivery to Finland took usual cuople of weeks (~10 days) from placing the order. Germination took 4 days, but I put them warmer place after first day. If I had put them warmer right away, seeds would have germinated in three days for sure. 5/5 seeds cracked and my expectations are high. Now they are rooting and looks good, keeping in mind they are just few days old.
I recommend the strain for everyone who wants to try somenthing else for a change. :)
Great customer service all the way, use Nirvana for safe delivery and high quality seeds :)
well nirvana did it again. seeds came today. everytime i order i get nervous. this was the longest that it has ever taken to get my seeds. 2 weeks, nothing to complain about. will start germinating tonight. I guess the only complaint that i have is this is the first time that i did not get any free seeds with the order. my biggest order and no freebies. no complaints here though. i will continue to order from nirvana cause they have never let me down, so fand i don't think that they will do that anytime soon. thank you nirvana for everything and you will be hearing from me in the future
NIRVANA COMMENT: http://weedportal.com/kb/article/do-i-get-freebies-when-i-order-36.html
If You're in a hurry ! I'm gonna only say that this plant grow and make buds so quickly that just HPS, water some kind of watch and You can start counting =] Peace
After reading the reviews, it looks like I WILL be needing to order this strain. It will be a nice addition to the other five strains I've purchased from Nirvana. Keeping all growing, some going into their 6th year.
Nirvana offers the very best high quality seeds, that keep you coming back for more of their great prices, outstanding customer service, and the tops in the business with their stealth delivery. I'll NEVER use another supplier for my Marijuana needs.
Hat's off to the whole Nirvana team!
Wish they had a contest for their customer's... maybe top prize could be spending a few days with your awesome team and see the "behind" the scenes look at your wonderful organization.
Nirvana supplies peace and tranquility all over the world, each and every day, day after day.
Oh yea, please don't forget to include a dinner date with Alice as part of the contest winners package. Peace to all / Keep the smoke growing and the love flowing!
Very fast flowering, Buds are bit small but quality of smoke is very pleasing :).
When smoked, you will be so relaxed and feel peace and happiness, i think that this strain will be my #1 smoke. Recommended for beginners, both to the growers and smokers.
This strain aint suitable for those who want _big_ yields though.
sooo i just got my short riders in. took about a week from ordering (im still waiting for my fairytale pack its only been like 12 days butttt i digress..) so while waiting i realized i had an old aero garden! sweeet i poped two short riders and a northern lights in the aerogarden in a triangle. ( i figured this would allow for best light/space usage) my little ladies love this thing! there at about 3'4ths and 1.25 inches! Conclusion, nirvana short rider auto fem seeds live up to the hype. Now lets see how this strain fairs in the aero, yield, strength ect. thanks nirvana! i will deff. buy these again. let yall know how the northern and the fairy tail go once there in.
Grace peace and plentiful harvests!
Fresh Nugs
Its amazing Nirvana!! I thank you for your great service. My short riders are three weeks along and WOW...They are all damn hairy women 3 out of 5. Can't wait to taste the product...They smell good just like all ladies should smell...a little skunkie and I like it!!
I tell all my friends about you Nirvana, I'm proof and they see and hear it ! !
I had little problem with Nirvana web site at first...It was on my server, not theirs Since than all my orders have been very fast...My percentage of germination is very high with Nirvana. I did try another seed company with terrible results but what a sale !
I'm staying with NIRVANA !!
Those short rider`s has.. very fast and furious way to grow. First one really was ready before I even had to think it thru. Learning learning.. now I`m ready for that next one. I have to be bit faster with the cycle. Then it is fun when cycle is just right. T:Ozz
This plant was put in 5 gallon pots with a promix medium after started inside. From seed to finish 60 days and done! believe it. I used foxfarm nutes and yielded an average of 3/4 of an ounce per plant. The downside is if you plant them in the spring they will be flowering during the humid days of summer in return equals BUDROT , at least thats what happend to me. The bud itself was awsome and the taste and smell was exactly like a grape, thats right grapes!
One or more reviews were written in another language.

Lynch faults Markey on Citizens United commentAP , Associated Press
Feb. 21, 2013 5:11 PM ET
BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Senate hopeful Stephen Lynch is faulting fellow Democratic Senate candidate Edward Markey for a comment that Lynch said compared the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision to the most infamous ruling in the court's history.
During a speech this week, Markey called for overturning the Citizens United decision, which paved the way for a flood of campaign cash from corporations and unions.
In making his argument, Markey pointed to the need to overturn the notorious 1857 Dred Scott decision, which had affirmed slavery.
Lynch said that while the Citizens United ruling is one of the court's worst, nothing can compare to Dred Scott.
Markey defended his comment, saying Citizens United ruling is "poisoning the democratic process." He said when the court issued the Dred Scott decision, people rose up to challenge it.

1) Carly/Doug will DEFENITELY die. They show doug very briefly being held captive... and show him once again quickly in the van. However, there by far the most expendable (well other than ben)
2) As is pretty logical, the group gets held captive by theifs while still at the motel, which is then attacked by walkers... in a mad dash the group gets into kennys rv and drive away.
3) As for the traiter, Im just taking an educated guess that it is duck or clem, trying to help the group but doing the exact opposite. Either that or its kenny who sees that the group will not longer listen to him, so hes trying to make lilly look bad or get out of the motel.
4) The video surprisngly didnt show the two new characters they talked about in playing dead, but it did show the guy on the train. Best guess here is they run out of fuel for kennys RV and hop on the train, which is than blocked by random debris, which leads to the zombie horde running towards them.
5) As for the gunshot from clem, I will have to say that it is basically insignificant. I think she just shoots a walker, a walker attacking lee or something.
6) I think the episode will close with Lee having to decide whther to go to Savannah or stay with the group (or accomplish both)...
What are your predictions?

I didn't even got the chance to know him. I just knew of him because I found my family book and there was a picture of a baby, a name, a birth date and a death date. I asked my mother and she told me he died because of heart issues. Nothing else.

We get heart valves from pigs. Not the entire thing. We can't use an entire pig heart, the immune system wouldn't like it. No one wants to risk their body rejecting all of their heart. A fixable chunk yes, the entire thing no.

it could have been a child that was around the same age that had been pronounced brain dead due to injury or illness. The child with the artificial heart didn't have no chance it had slim chance but a chance none the less organ donations don't work by sacrificing they work through people who are pronounced brain dead,(or cardiac arrest it depends if you're a donor you can choose)

By Mickey Winfield: CNJ staff writer
On the heels of a disappointing loss at Lovington, and with one game left on their district schedule, the Portales Rams (3-5) view tonight's game against the New Mexico Military Institute Colts (7 p.m., Greyhound Stadium) as a must-win, to clinch a spot in the New Mexico Class 3A football playoffs.
A Portales win against NMMI would give the Rams the District 4-3A runner-up spot, and with it, an automatic berth in the playoffs. A loss, however, and the Portales boys would likely have to hope for one of the four wild-cards awarded.
"We want to be one of those that earns their way in (to the playoffs)," Portales head coach Andy Correll said. "And with the strength of schedule that we've played this year, there's no way of telling what would happen."
Entering the last week of a tough schedule that included the defending state champion Las Vegas Robertson Cardinals, Texas powers Muleshoe and Slaton, Class 4A powers Goddard and Roswell High, and district rival Lovington, Correll believes his guys should get into the playoffs, but they don't want to leave things to chance.
"We're wanting to take any doubt out of anybody's seeding, we just want to take care of business and assure us a playoff spot," Correll said.
The Colts (0-8) have yet to win a game this season, are not likely to make the playoffs, and if you ask Correll, that makes them dangerous.
"These type of teams scare me," Correll said. "They've got nothing more to lose, they've played some quality football teams, and they're not a bad team. We've got to go out and take care of business, and make sure we're focussed on what we have to do, or a team like NMMI could sneak up and bite us, and that scares me more than anything right now."
With their winless 0-8 record, NMMI head coach Dwight Burns just wants to see his kids compete, and get a picture of what he'll have to work with next year.
"Well, having a rough season is kind of an understatement," Burns said. "It's been a disappointing season, but for what they have to offer, what they have to give back to the program, I'm not disappointed in our kids at all."
NMMI has been out-scored 29-299 in their first seven losses, and that may be just what the doctor ordered for a Ram team that suffered a devastating loss last week at Lovington. In that game Portales give up three turnovers leading to 21-points in a third quarter three-minute span erasing a Portales half-time lead and handing the district lead to the Wildcats.
"That loss hurt us, and the guys have come forth and said that," Correll said. "They've really been down a little bit about that loss, because they know they had all the opportunities, we're playing well the first half, and then to absolutely hand (Lovington)the game. So I think we've had a new focus this week, and it's a focus on, instead of playing not to lose, they want to play to win."
Across the field, Burns is worried about the Ram defense.
"Portales' strong suit is not their offense," Burns said. "It's their defense, and that's my biggest concern."
Tonight's game will be the Rams second straight without leading rusher Eric Segovia. Segovia will find out today when he'll be able to play again, most likely the first or second week of the playoffs. Segovia dislocated his shoulder in the second quarter of the Rams district-opening win, Oct. 21 against Ruidoso. Correll hopes he'll be released to practice as early as Monday.
"He was pretty put out," Correll said. "Especially last week because he wanted to play against Lovington. He said he hasn't got a chance at them since his sophomore year and he really wanted a shot at them, and I felt for him, but like I told him, lets get him healthy and get in the playoffs and see what happens from there."

The Foundry Answer to Technology, Cost, and Moore Scaling
Bryan J. Rice, Ph.D.
For nearly 50 years, Moore's law scaling has been the crucible for semiconductor technology advancement. But gone are the days when the industry can predictably deliver the triumvirate of higher performance, lower power consumption, and reduced cost with each successive technology node. This economic reality has spawned a foundry/fabless ecosystem driven by the counterbalancing forces of delivering sustained profitability while satisfying the demands of seemingly insatiable consumers. Choosing a technology strategy for leading edge process R&D requires maintaining that balance. This presentation will discuss the role of innovation, partnership, customer requirements, and technology costs in creating foundry strategy.

Performance in First-Person 3D Shooters
Aliens vs. Predator
This game runs in DirectX 11 mode with the highest graphics quality settings.
The GeForce GTS 450 SLI tandem is almost as fast as the single GeForce GTX 470. The tandem is cheaper (it costs twice the price of a single GTS 450, i.e. about $260 whereas a GeForce GTX 470 costs $300 or more) but the small difference in price is hardly worth the trouble of building and maintaining a multi-GPU configuration.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The SLI tandem overtakes the GeForce GTX 470 and is close to matching the Radeon HD 5870. Again, the lower price is the main advantage of the multi-GPU configuration while its lower usability and compatibility are its main downsides. Besides, its performance at 2560x1600 is rather poor.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
We don't see anything new here. The GeForce GTS 450 SLI is quite fast but not as fast as to justify the $40-50 economy compared to the comparable single-chip solutions. Besides, it slows down more than its single-GPU opponents at resolutions higher than 1920x1080.
Crysis Warhead
The advantages of the GeForce GTS 450 SLI are as unclear as in the previous tests: it is comparable to the GeForce GTX 470 in performance at popular resolutions but loses its ground at extremely high display modes. Thus, the only possible reason for building such a tandem is when you have one GeForce GTS 450 and add another one later on as a way to upgrade your graphics subsystem for little money.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I know he became Hokage during the First Shinobi World War but that's about it. Does anyone have any ideas?
looked like he was about 16-18
i would say closer to somewhere in his 20's...
in the 20s 30s i guess..
20 - 24 something he was pretty young
Only Kishi knows.
he was like 19-22 tops when he became hokage
He was 18 exactly.
Around 18-22 years old.
17-18 years old I believe.
I'd say between 16-18.. Since he was still going on missions with sensei.

'South by South Pas'
The Eclectic Music Festival & Art Walk celebrates community and creativity Saturday with Eliza and Tony Gilkyson and friends
By Bliss Bowen 04/30/2014
South Pasadena is fairly sleepy. The 2010 census determined that its residents number more than 25,000, but its look and layout make it feel more like a small town. It's home to a considerable amount of Craftsman architecture, an old-fashioned soda fountain, a couple of coffeehouses, an Irish pub and a library, not to mention parks and a section of the Arroyo Seco — all powerful attractions for the numerous artists who live there, many of whom chose to do so because it is family-friendly. So it is somewhat ironic that one thing it doesn't have is much of a cultural nightlife. When it comes to live music, South Pasadena's weekly offerings are meager.
The city's annual Eclectic Music Festival & Art Walk strives to compensate for that. Now in its sixth year, the all-ages festival hosts a diverse lineup of Afrobeat, bluegrass, country, folk, jazz, klezmer, pop and more on five official stages this Saturday, shining a spotlight on local artists and the connections between them.
"As opposed to a lot of festivals, we really have a priority to support artists in the community," says Music Director Brad Colerick, who jokingly refers to the Eclectic Festival as "South By South Pas." "I really try to find a place for people who want to perform to be able to do that. We have a lot of great musicians in the community." He rattles off the names of several scheduled to play Saturday: Grammy-winning jazz pianist Billy Childs, former Ray Charles trumpeter Mark Hatch, singer-songwriter Anny Celsi, South Pasadena Transit Authority, classic rockers Grondle.
"And Eliza and Tony [Gilkyson]," he continues. "It's kind of a neat coming-home story. It's the first time that Eliza's played in South Pasadena since she started her career as a musician. Tony's been at Wine & Song [weekly showcase at Firefly Bistro] a number of times, but it's going to be great having Eliza there. I ran into her in Kansas City at the Folk Alliance conference and she's excited about it."
Artists often refer to creative colleagues as family, but the bonds between festival headliners Eliza Gilkyson and Tony Gilkyson truly are biological. The daughter and son of folksinger and songwriter Terry Gilkyson (Oscar nominated for his song "The Bare Necessities" in the 1967 Disney animated film "The Jungle Book"), Eliza and Tony lived in South Pasadena as children. Tony recalls "chasing alligator lizards" and walking the Arroyo "in the days when the dog was spared the leash." He was proud to be the son of a musician — not an ordinary job description amongst their friends' parents — and he absorbed some of their mother's fascination with California history. He also remembers playing music with Eliza, "bands and everything," before they each struck out to establish solo careers. For both Gilkysons, those early influences later emerged in their songs in the form of vivid natural imagery, an abiding sense of place and a willingness to champion underdogs.
Tony first made his name as a fret-burning guitar slinger for X and Lone Justice. Opting to stay in Los Angeles with his family, he eventually started fronting his own band and released a pair of solo albums, 2000's "Sparko" and 2005's excellent "Goodbye Guitar." Eliza, meanwhile, hit the road hard and eventually settled in Austin, building a reputation as a prolific, socially conscious artist with an emotive soprano over the course of more than a dozen critically lauded albums. Her newest, "Nocturne Diaries," sensitively produced by son Cisco Ryder, finds her imagining Noah and "The Ark," and "An American Boy" plotting violent revenge, then looking inward with intimate, melodic confessionals like "No Tomorrow."
Eliza has recorded some of brother Tony's songs — "He'll Miss This Train" for her 2002 album "Lost and Found," "Death in Arkansas" for 2011's "Roses at the End of Time" — but it isn't often that the two get to perform together. For Saturday's concert on the Carnegie Stage, they plan to each play solo before teaming for a shorter set.
Over on the Emerging Artists Stage, 14-year-old South Pasadenan Charlie Hickey will also be carrying on family tradition: His mother, respected singer-songwriter Sally Dworsky, performed at the festival in 2011, and has strong musical connections to several artists at this year's festival, including Colerick, Moira Smiley and Powdercoat — all part of a productive community of artists in which Hickey is already earning a name for himself. He'll be playing songs from his thoughtfully written EP "Odds," which has been getting airplay on KCRW and KCSN and features the quicksilver harmonies of Phoebe Bridgers, who will follow Hickey with a set of tunes from her own fine EP, "Killer."
Harmonies also figure prominently in the music of Powdercoat, a folk-pop collaboration between singer-songwriters Claire Holley and Kristin Mooney. [Full disclosure: Holley and Mooney are friends who have played house concerts at this writer's home, and we sang together in the group Musette.] The two share the kind of close, stirring vocal chemistry associated with siblings. Performing songs from their critically praised debut EP, Powdercoat will follow Smiley (with Billy Childs) on the Carnegie Stage.
"I met Moira [Smiley] and Sally [Dworsky] quite a few years ago at a mutual friend's party where everyone shared a song," recalls Holley. "I've been trying to hear Moira ever since. I'm excited to hear some of these people."
Those people may include Hickey and Bridgers, and also Loafer's Glory, featuring bluegrass legend Herb Pedersen, ex-Desert Rose Band bassist Bill Bryson, and the father-and-son musical team of Tom and Patrick Sauber. Or Rosa Pullman and Mitch Grainger (whose sister Kara Grainger was a hit at last year's festival), aka the Lovers, who will be sandwiched between Wilberta's jazz and 13-piece Eastside Afrobeat ensemble Mexico68 on the Gold Line Stage. The Lovers have become a regular feature at Hollywood's Piano Bar thanks to their uninhibited banter, country-dusted originals and quirky covers of Willie Dixon and Tom Waits, among others.
Festivals are a great opportunity for artists to reconnect with and also hear one another, Holley says. "Club gigs are a little more specific and may be all business. Festivals feel more like, 'Come one, come all; it's time to let loose and be free for the day.' People are just so happy to be hearing music, and there's a good spirit in the air."
The bottom line, according to Colerick: "We are doing this for the community and the businesses in the community, to get people aware of the cool little town we have. It's great to get people coming in. And it's great to give a creative outlet to artists here."
The Eclectic Music Festival & Art Walk takes place from 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday on multiple stages across South Pasadena. The Carnegie Stage (South Pasadena Public Library Community Room, 1115 El Centro St.) will host Eliza and Tony Gilkyson, Rick Shea, Powdercoat, Billy Childs with Moira Smiley, Elliott Caine, and Loafer's Glory featuring Herb Pedersen. On the outdoor Gold Line Stage (913 Meridian Ave.): California Feetwarmers, Rick Solem, Mexico68, the Lovers (Mitch Grainger and Rosa Pullman), Wilbert, Aaron & Jane, Mark Hatch & Group 5, Aireene Espiritu, Grondle, Chauncey Bowers and South Pasadena Transit Authority. On the Emerging Artists Stage (BurkeTriolo Studios, 538 Mission St.): Tapioca and the Flea, the Buttertones, the Felt Blanks (formerly Jacaranda Red), White Dover, Breakfast, Phoebe Bridgers, Charlie Hickey and DJ Conway. On the SOPA Studios Stage (1025 Hope St.): Jonah Smith, Anny Celsi, Shadowlands, Lisa Finnie. On the South Pasadena Music Center Stage (1509 Mission St.): Walter Zooi, Ally Hasche, Extreme Klezmer Makeover, South Pasadena Music Center & Conservatory Chamber Music Consortium. Admission is free and open to all ages. Info: (626) 441-2339. eclecticmusicfestival.com

Special Olympians hard at work preparing for Area Games
Just two days after their medal-winning performances at the 46th annual Special Olympics summer state games, some of West Hawaii's most dedicated athletes were back on the practice field Tuesday.
More than a dozen athletes and volunteers gathered at Kona Community Aquatic Center field to practice bocce in preparation for the Area Games, which will be held July 26 and also include soccer. One Olympian, Josh Penner, proudly wore the medals that he won earned at the field competition in Honolulu over the weekend.
While some of the competitors were seasoned veterans in bocce, others were just learning the game and its rules. Players' skill levels were tested at the beginning of practice in order to find competitive playing partners.
The local Special Olympians will continue practicing each Tuesday and Friday at the Kona fields until the Area Games and will then participate in the state competition Aug. 7-8.

|I actually liked Nathan and Melanie as a couple, and I liked Nathan and Stephanie even better. I loved the story of Chloe and Philip's infidelity and Days had me until the reveal when Melanie became pregnant with Philip's baby. That was a GROSS, unnecessary plot twist that went nowhere and produced NO drama. It was after Melanie's miscarriage where she started to become intolerable for me and I didn't care what happened to her one way or another.
|Jun 1 2014, 10:24 AM Post #22
I didn't mind Nathan that much either, until he became all about Melanie. It was certainly nice to have an actual Horton onscreen, rather than the rest of the huge family who is spoken of but rarely seen. Ever notice that Hope, Julie, Maggie, and Jennifer (and her kids) are often the Hortons who get mentioned or listed as Hortons by other characters, but Lucas and Will are rarely treated like Hortons?
Perhaps it's my disdain for all things Jonas being shoved down our throat, but did it feel like they continued to make Maggie less of Nathan's grandmother and in his orbit once they decided to tie her to the Saintly Oranges? I can't agree more with what MH had to say about the show being focused on 5 actors, and it's still true today.
I think it would be interesting to see, if Nathan was on the show now, how he would deal with his Tom Horton inferiority complex and the Horton legacy at the hospital with Anne Milbauer there.

Yes, this. Either Mark was a very bad actor or lying in his interviews because no matter how many times he said that Nathan was all about Melanie, the character always lit up when Stephanie was in the room and never had that reaction to Melanie. It was pretty bizarre.
|Jun 1 2014, 11:43 AM Post #24
Pretty sure it's the former. The writing had it play like Nathan was all about Melanie and not Stephanie, but Mark sure as heck had the opposite reactions (most likely b/c in real life he was more attracted to Shelley, which who can honestly blame him, she's gorgeous).
|Jun 1 2014, 12:06 PM Post #25
And in soap life, Nathan and Phillip should have been more into Stephanie than Melanie too.
|Jun 1 2014, 12:26 PM Post #26
I thought Philip/Stephanie had so much potential. If they would have let the families be involved as some major opposition, instead of dumping SN and MBE, it could have been even better.

I think that was more MH reacting to SH than Nathan reacting to Stephanie, LOL.

Who sprang fully formed out of a writer's ass and I still have not the first fucking clue how he fits into show cannon/continuity, who his father is, or how the fuck he ended up with the last name "Horton". :shrug:

Corday said in an interview that he was Pete's, but at not point did they actually say that. I've always wondered if that was his own form of fanfiction.

I never knew Corday actually said that. I thought we'd all just fanwanked that. Granted, my fanwank is still that he's a renamed Charlie Jannings that Melissa somehow adopted at some point. lol

I'll see if I can find it. I think it was when he first started.

Summer Preview 2009. Idk if this is a direct quote from the magazine or not. We were still allowed to do that then, but it looks different. However, Ellie says at the beginning of the write-up that all quotes are from Corday.
Melanie/Nathan: Maggie's grandson Nathan, Melissa and Pete's son, is played by newcomer Mark Hapka. He moves in with Maggie and Mickey, and he is a first-year intern at University Hospital. "Sparks fly when he meets Melanie and learns they'll be living under the same roof."
|Jun 2 2014, 07:57 AM Post #35
|I have to admit I did like Nathan and Melanie. To me it was a much better fit than Melanie and Philip. Granted, the ages may have been as off as Melanie and Philip but to me MH played it younger so it worked with the younger Melanie. The character would have been fine with Stephanie, too, but the chemistry just wasn't there for me. The crying ending, though was pathetic.

|I actually loved Nathan and Melanie I thought they had superb chemistry and honestly they had so much potential until the writers decided to ruin Melanie's character and make annoying like Daniel's character that's when I started hating after her relationship with Nathan ended. Actually Melanie and Philip were horrible and when watching you could totally somehow feel that Jay Kenneth Johnson hated that pairing there was no chemistry whatsoever. Philip's character to me will always belong with Chloe. Chloe and Philip belong together and I hate Tomsell and Corday for making Parker's father be saint Daniel. I truly hate Daniel's character the writers are forcing him on us too much. This show was destoryed when the writers introduced Daniel and Melanie's characters and that was the end of DOOL for me

Okay, here we go...
We begin with Rafe and Jordan making out in bed and Rafe makes a mildly dirty joke about her wanting to put her phone on vibrate.
Then, we get a redo of the Gabi confession to Will and everyone's WTF looks. A woman (DA?) walks in and EJ silences Gabi.
Saint Jen-Jen stares in heartbreak at the picture of the foursome and flashes back.
A redo of Nicole arriving in the garden and Eric stares at her. Did you get a call from Daniel. No one called. He stares her down and she says we have to go. Nicole is in serious denial.
|Jun 2 2014, 11:06 AM Post #40
Why aren't you moving? Says Nicole. What about Daniel says Eric (summing up the entire story) and they talk about Daniel. And Eric pushes Nicole to talk to Daniel and she demurs. Eric looks sad and angry at her obvious dissembling.
DA is confused why two people are trying to confess. EJ silences everyone and wants alone with Gabi. Hope says she's going to call Rafe. Gabi says she would never have let Will go to prison for her and he says listen to EJ that this is not black and white. When they are alone, EJ says "let's see if we can get you out of here." Meanwhile, Hope has said there will be proof soon. She is not a tiny bit surprised.

'Christ as the Head'comment (0)
June 13, 2013
I am writing in response to "A Statement from the Calvinism Advisory Committee" (June 6 issue of The Alabama Baptist).
I loved the article — I am a Calvinist, have been for 20 plus years and thought about writing to tell you of the harmony we experience here at the "Family of Families," Canaan Baptist Church, Bessemer.
I have never felt alienated or ostracized due to my beliefs as a Calvinist. Although the first time I mentioned it to our pastor, I thought he was going to have a wreck. We were on a visit and it came up in casual conversation. He was, to say the least, astonished. We love each other and have mutual honor and respect. Could not ask for a better example of a pastor, (or) a true man after God's own heart, than Bro. Morgan Bailey.
I am active in outreach and teaching of the Scriptures and have been since I first came to Canaan in 2003. I serve as a deacon with no problem whatsoever. My fellow servants all show me the greatest kindness and respect. Of course I have no agenda either. I simply hold that the Scripture in 1 Peter 3:16 is true and simply leave it at that.
We have a wonderful fellowship that shows what can happen when believers place Christ as the head and not a particular agenda. We are all on the journey, loving God, sharing life, serving others and showing Jesus to the world.
I just wanted the body of Christ to know.

Mike Singletary famously said upon his promotion as 49ers head coach, "I want winners."
If for some miraculous reason I become a member of the Redskins organization I will famously say, "I want Redskins." This may sound like an unintelligent and blunt statement, but it has a much deeper meaning that is essential to a team's success.
During the glory years of the Burgundy and Gold; the roster consisted of blue-collar, hard working players that played with a passion and pride while defending the nation's capital football team.
Although it's doubtful if Washington will return back to their old form, over the past decade there have been some players where I would consistently say "I wish they put their heart in the rest of the team."
These were the players that I call "Redskins." The athletes, who will play any position called upon, enjoy hitting somebody in the mouth and will not hesitate of speaking up for his team.
They didn't have the same talent as some players, but their effort was enjoyable to watch and any fan can't help, but to cheer for a player that has defied the odds in developing a prominent role on the Redskins roster.
Another commonality with these players is their position in the locker room and the work they've had with the media and the community. They are the unsung heroes of football.
In no particular order, I've comprised of a list of players who I've always considered to be landmarks of the franchise.
You don't see their jerseys on display or their names come up on ESPN, but their professionalism on and off the field is what made them "Redskins."

With tough times being a resounding theme for many around the world, pay-per-view matches can be considered a leisure expenditure for many and even a luxury for others.
People always want to get the most out of their money, which is why they buy PPV fights they deem exciting to watch.
Million upon millions of dollars are generated by PPV units and that just proves that human beings don't mind spending a little bit of their money for an overall good time.
From obsessed fans who purchase fights to stay in the loop to the groups of families and friends that use it as a party incentive and to the numerous businesses that use it as an attraction for customers, people always tend to look back and ask themselves whether or not they got their money's worth.
The Cinco de Mayo bout between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto was undoubtedly one of the better PPV matches by far, with both fighters performing so well, but just to go about it and recap, here are 12 reasons why HBO's Ring Kings was worth every cent of the PPV price.

This Week's Shining & Falling Stars: Sofia Vergara and Snooki
Shining Star- Sofia Vergara: She's truly 40 and fabulous! Not only is she an uber-sexy Latina actress, (seriously, have you seen her body?) but Vergara just earned a spot on Forbes list for the highest paid television actress. It's all thanks to her killer role on the hit sitcom "Modern Family," which seems to be tailored perfectly for her personality.
Not only that, the Columbian-born star is also an entrepreneur. Aside from a clothing line and multiple endorsement deals, Vergara built up her own company called "Latin World Entertainment," a licensing, marketing, production and new-media powerhouse- which made nearly $27 million last year in revenue. She also has her own YouTube channel, which immediately sold out ad space thru 2013.
After raking in $19 million dollars in the past year, and an Emmy-nominated role on a hit sitcom, her career can't get any more caliente!

I am very excited because I refuse to buy premade Italian seasoning. I always just throw some of this & some of that in the pot. Thank you so much for making this recipe available! Made for Culinary Quest 2014/CCQ.
I made this seasoning mix to add to my home-made spaghetti sauce last week (not all of it, I still have some left to try on chicken, like others suggested). It has a great balance of flavors and can't wait to try it in many dishes. A great seasoning to add to my pantry. Thank you for posting. Made for Culinary Quest 2014 / Suitcase Gourmets
I used coarse sea salt and added the mix to a salt grinder; it works well and I now have my very own Italian salt grinder - I have used it on Roast Chicken so far and I really do like the flavour combo, it will be quite versatile in many recipes.
