a. Lil Jon is not a rapper and he'll never say he is.
b. Necro is terrible and NOT good, by any stretch of the imagination from a rapper's standpoint. He raps with a lisp, he's offbeat, and he has terrible breath control - punching in every 2 bars. Not even Big Pun punched in that often. Also, his music consists of "shock" lyrics, and his whole persona makes him come off looking like an overcompensating half-a-*beep*. That "brutality" shit looks like a cover up for a grown man with too much depression, and teenage angst issues.. and oddly enough, his music seems to be a gateway for cornball teenagers to vent their own social insecurities.
c. Apologize now for trying to get on this bulshit about how black rappers suck and white rappers are better. That culture stealing shit will get your face 1) spit in, and 2) kicked in (in no particular order). Get off your white horse, stop suckin' off white *beep*, and don't ever think by any stretch of the imagination that any of these flowless, "shock rap" whiteboys that wanna convince themselves that their tougher because they rock an underground badge are doing anything better than the people who started this fuckin' music.
d. The intro to the "Ridin' Dirty" beat is better than the whole song, and I approve of it's usage. I just felt the woman's voice actually introducing the show went on for too long. And from an audio stand point, the quality was so-so. I think it needs to be filtered, and probably abbreviated. Just something like "You're listening to NYJetsFan.com's 'Jet Fuel' radio show, sponsored by Green Solutions.. here's your hosts, Ronny and Lee."

As for the radio show.. I look forward to seeing it get started. I hope you 2 do have enough personality and don't sound shy over the waves tho. That might be painful for an hour. But I trust y'all.. you're grown men that likely don't suffer from social anxiety issues and shit haha.
Is there gonna be a particular schtick? Make fun of the types of fans we're playing against? I'm thinking that while an hour seems short.. it can be a pretty long time to keep a radio show going if there's no real direction.
Also, what kinda promo is there gonna be for the show to provide callers that might not post on the site regularly? A lot of the topics you guys might talk about might be stuff we type up to death on the forum for the 6 days till Sunday.
EDIT: 1,000th post. But that doesn't count the lost posts from when the site changed forums over the last year and a half. Thanx for running a pretty good site.

2. Underground it doesn't matter if your white/yellow/black/indian/ whatever because like I said, it's poetry and it condescends race. That's evident by that chinese kid that outrapped everyone on BET. You need proof his name is MC Jin. http://www.youtube.c...related&search=
Parable and Wrek are good too.
It's obvious when someone says "The only black/white rapper...." blah blah blah knows nothing about music or art. Electro Magnetic MC's, Souls of Mischief, old school OutKast, Beasties...that's HIP HOP and it's a way of life not some chump trying to make it and most certainly it had nothing to do with black vs white. It had everything to do with trying to live day to day and it's the same for everyone. Like anything else it's an art and it's easy to spot an imposter. You need to live, breathe, and hump to become that good. From Nick Cannon to Linkin Park, it's all bullshit.
BTW get on the internet and search for Kool Keith vs Exibit freestyle.... some of the best freestyle I've ever heard. If you know better then show me.
3. Ron - The background staple of your intro is good, but I think you need more of a Price is Right announcer on top of it. I probably would have come up with the same thing you have so no need for my help there ;]

This if for JCbizkit87...Sorry they're a bit fuzzy...this is not my main computer and I took the pics off of my myspace account...I don't have the equipment to put a Jets Logo on the lace and as far as moving the camera up...don't want a picture of myself going out over the net with my face attached to my body...who knows where it might end up...
Anyway...we will be working on a new intro with a "Male" voice...since it seems that, that is what men expect in their sports world...I won't be doing the intro...I guess it seems the only place woman have in football is behind the pom poms! It's a shame, I love sports and I wish more woman would get into football...maybe have a few buff men out there strutting their stuff and shaking their pom poms...(Much like the Chipendale Dancers - Or the men who dance the night away at the "Crazy Horse")
Tune in Sunday, I am sure Ron and Lee will put on a great show!

and right now you are not at the mic or in front of the camera but hey it looks like you are with in range to
make things happen.Ron and Lee are pranksters so you better prank them before they prank you . its seems
to me that doing the voice on the show is a step inthe right direction and maybe a poll from the fans would send a message that most would approve.AMEN and JETSON would be two guys that you can sound off to.JETSFAN115 could do a poll. thanks for the pictures and good luck.

This week's "Photo of the Week" was submitted by U.S. Air Force Captain Alden Y. Gilroy to the Office of Art in Embassies for the "Serving Abroad…Through Their Eyes" exhibition. Pictured is First Lieutenant Matthew Suber, who was serving as the Force Protection Officer during Exercise AFRICA ENDEAVOR, the largest communications exercise on the African continent. The Gambian Army hosted the event at Fajara Barracks, which is also home to many families of their soldiers.
Captain Gilroy describes the photograph: "Children nearby were playing near the exercise administrative building, and we went outside to visit them, and say hello during one of our breaks. The children always lingered near the fences curious about all of the foreign armed forces and beckoned for our water bottles. They liked to collect the bottles and reuse them to sell juice. We went outside and played with them, and Lt. Suber liked to make faces with them. Every day we waved hello to them, and one day Lt. Suber gave them a piggyback ride. We made many friends during the exercise, and one of the best aspects was interacting with the Gambians."
The "Serving Abroad…Through Their Eyes" photography exhibition seeks to honor Americans who have served overseas, and aims to convey their experiences -- including daily life, friendship, loss, or triumph. Captain Gilroy's photograph certainly captures friendship, and reminds us one can make friends no matter where he or she travels.
Any current or former military, civil, and Foreign Service officer may submit up to 10 compelling photographs from their service abroad for consideration to be included in the exhibition and an expressive video artwork display that will be shown at prominent international locations. Submissions will be accepted now through February 20, 2012. Rules, guidelines, and entry forms can be found here.
E. in Washington writes:
Great photo. I love the little dude in the background with his hands on his hips!
Slava in California writes:
It is good that U.S. Air Force establishes a contact with the young Gambians. I think this behavior fortifies people's positive attitude towards our country. I also think that First Lieutenant Matthew Suber should be a real role model to any U.S. Air Force Officer.

To help my depression, I smoked pot…I stopped smoking, but I still can't get it up. What gives?
I've been depressed for about four years, and I've been smoking marijuana to help me feel better. Since then, I've been having some problems with erectile dysfunction. Now I don't feel pleasure in sex and I don't get hard at all. I quit smoking marijuana about nine months ago, but still can't make my wife happy.

Skip to comments.Panda porn shown in attempt to get two to mate
Posted on 03/15/2013 8:09:22 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows
Researchers at China's breeding and research centre were concerned that five-year-old Ke Lin and her partner Yongyong never seemed to be in the mood.
So they played the couple a video of pandas mating in the wild to in an effort to get them to mate.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
[Thanks to Gefn for the link!]
See "Pandas Must Die" by Corky and the Juice Pigs ...
Pandas are trying to become extinct and we just wont let them. They are so specialized and so unable to function that their time is up.
Did you know that when one little panda pulls on another little panda's underwear, that's sexual harassment? That makes me a sa-a-a-a-ad panda
The female Panda in the porn flick is wearing a black and white teddy bear.
Do they have a Kama Sutra for pandas? I'm sure you can do a lot on bamboo.
I think it was Andrew "Dice" Clay who said "If they won't give a f*** for their species, why should we?"
Genetics and physiology has confirmed pandas are indeed true bears. They are a unique example of a carnivore adapting to a highly specialized vegetarian diet.
zoo keepers only critters excited by videos.....
Since pandas appear to be a case of modern reverse evolution, play the video backwards & speeded up, it might just work.
And...as any zoo worker who's ever been mauled by an adult panda will tell you, yes, they are three hundred pound plus bears, with teeth & claws to match!
This whole idea is right out of South Park!
Beat me to it.
Not unless you buy me dinner first.
Apparently not, but "Panda Viagra" would be a GREAT name for a rock band!
Um. Why doesn't the male take the female out for some good food, a little mood music and dancing under the moonlight, some sweet talk....the panda eqivivant of flowers and chocolate
You know. Pitch some panda woo.
Maybe it's panda football season.
Or panda is playing the office basketball pool
Um. Why doesnt the male take the female out for some good food, a little mood music and dancing under the moonlight, some sweet talk....the panda eqivivant of flowers and chocolate
My understanding is that male pandas often just dont have the necessary get up and go.
Panda Viagra would probably have an Interesting album cover! Also, the BBC actually reports Viagra has no affect on male Pandas. Sounds like that species really does want to die out as someone said. Then again it was mentioned they were carnivores forced to adopt a strict vegetarian diet— I don't know if I'd want to survive either!
A philosopher, him.
No meat, no canoodling - they ARE dead.

Safer than a 10 hour burn.
... 10 hours to heat is crazy....
Man in the past I've had to go through your "Craigs NP Garage" thread and spend hours picking up all the nuances. NOW its one stop shopping. Unbelievably kind and generous.Thanks Scot
Craig,I'm sure you used cake yeast at some point (which is what Roberto Caporuscio uses as well asmany other good pies), but how would its use instead of Ischia starter change your formula and/or work flow?
Actually, the last time I used cake yeast was when I worked in a restaurant in 1994 (not a pizza place).I don't think I'd change anything about the workflow. I would just need to figure out how much CY to use. My suggestion would be to make a poolish with flour and water (50:50) and a little cake yeast. You won't need too much. When it is good and active, substitute it for the Ischia culture. I think I'd start at maybe 1.1% as it's probably a little faster than Ischia. You can then fine tune subsequent batches based on how fast it rises. I'm sure others here can give you a better idea or suggest how much cake yeast to add directly to the dough in lieu of the Ischia culture.Craig
craig can you take a picture of the individual dough balls just before you stretch. what would happen if you increase the starter? does it give more rise,change your flavor,or just decrease the workable period for the dough.how do you determine your percentage.
craig, what is the advantage of your method vs keste who uses minimal yeast and 48 hour fermentation to make his dough. the dough sours some from the long room rise.seems you are both getting the same final results.
You can definately get good cornicione using a "slap" technique. Just takes practice:)

Postgame: Orlando City S.C.
The Columbus Dispatch - February 16, 2013 09:50 PM
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The way the Crew's 3-2 win against Orlando City S.C. unfolded gave Josh Williams a sense of déjà vu. Although the Crew never trailed against the USL Pro team, it twice allowed tying goals before scratching out the win in the 89th minute.
"That's not what we want," he said. "Toward the end of last year that's what happened. We'd settle down a little bit and get a little lax and lose focus. I think that's what happened on both of the goals."
On the first goal, Orlando City took advantage of a misguided back pass from central defender Glauber and scored on a breakaway. Its second goal was an own goal after Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum deflected a shot that ricocheted off a teammate – listed as Glauber on the official stat sheet – and into the net.
Head coach Robert Warzycha said it was not just the defense that came out of the game with things to work on.
"I don't think if you give up goals that it's the defense's fault," he said. "We gave up the goal because we were dropping too much. We have to be better at keeping the ball and don't give opponents chances to have set pieces in the right places or play through balls. We just have to be much better in the midfielders and the forwards."
The flashbacks were at least different in one crucial way for Williams, however: the defender converted a Federico Higuain corner kick for his first goal of the preseason. After a hard-luck 2012 season where Williams rang the posts with consistency but finished with just one goal, he is hoping better things are in store this year.
"That was a good start, huh?" he said. "No post. It actually went right down the middle, so I was happy to see it go right between the posts after last year. I think last year was just a fluke, kind of freak year. Hopefully I can continue this, start avoiding the posts and start finding the net."
Set pieces
Through six preseason games, the Crew now sits 5-1 against varying levels of competition. In that stretch, Higuain has two goals and three assists, giving him a direct hand (foot?) in five of the team's 11 preseason goals.
All of Higuain's points have come courtesy of set pieces, and both goals are on penalty kicks.
"I think we're going to be dangerous on set pieces," Warzycha said. "Obviously we scored three goals off of set pieces today, but we have good service and we have some guys who can really finish. Glauber didn't have a header on the ball today and Chad Marshall had to leave the field but we were still able to have somebody making a run and finishing those crosses. That's very positive."< /p>
Agustin Viana, who scored his first Crew goal three minutes into tonight's game with Orlando City on a Higuain free kick, said he is quickly learning what Higuain can do in those situations.
"We were working a lot on that play," he said. "We know that we have Higuain, and when we have a player like him we must take the approach of working with him. His kick was excellent."
More Marshall
After the game, Warzycha said he does not think the blow Chad Marshall took to the head will produce any long-term problems. In the immediate aftermath of Marshall going down, a number of fans asked me on Twitter why Marshall does not wear any sort of protective headgear given his history of concussions.
I asked him about that topic last season when he recovered from a concussion.
"I've been thinking about it," he said June 27. "I'm not sure. Guys that have worn it in the past I haven't really talked to them. You don't see a lot of guys wearing them. The guys that I've talked to aren't the biggest on it. It's definitely a possibility. I might just for those fluke balls that hit you. It might be able to absorb some of that. I'm definitely toying with the idea."< /p>
It's a topic I might revisit with him during our next chat, just to see if his thoughts have changed at all.
"We're in Orlando so we knew the crowd was going to be with them. Any time a team like that can play an MLS team they're going to be fired up. We didn't overlook them or anything. We knew it was going to be a tough game. They fought hard. It's a good team. it got a little chippy and it ended up being a good match. It's what we needed from a preseason game." – Williams on Orlando City

Not gonna happen unless we do a sign and trade of LBJ. If we don't resign LeBron (or sign and trade) then we are looking at a 25 win team. We have assembled this roster to play off of LeBron, not without him. We'll have a top 5 pick next season.

From the Manufacturer:
Arginine and Citrulline are two amino acids that are integral to protein metabolism and utilization as well as to the maintenance of muscle tissue. Both are key intermediates in the urea cycle, where they participate in the detoxification of ammonia via the production of urea. Arginine that has not been converted to urea enters general circulation where it is distributed to various tissues and metabolized for other uses such as protein synthesis. Scientific studies have shown that supplementing Citrulline along with Arginine helps maintain nitrogen balance better than supplementation with Arginine alone.**Contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.

Still, I feel a bit frustrated (actually more like amazed) in that I'm still unable to find pans that clearly exist in the thousands at pizzerias all over the country.
Your description of the coating looking like flat black paint sounds like an anodized pan..
I don't know how a computer chassis figures in.
I've seen plenty of anodized aluminum. It's generally colored and has a built-in satin sheen. Not like the flat black I see.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Anodized_titanium_colors.svg/520px-Anodized_titanium_colors.svg.png
Hello, I just came across this thread by fluke. These might be what you are looking for:paprod dot comI got a bunch of those deep black seasoned square pans from a major chain off Ebay a couple of years back. I may have some extra that I do not need. What size are you looking for? I think we have 8, 10. and 12 inch in storage but only need the 8 inchers.

What I've Been Up To ...1/24/2011 10:07:00 pm
So the blog's been pretty quiet, I haven't blogged much since the summer. I've been sharing stuff in a number of my other online spaces and I figured it was time for an update so here's what I've been up to ...
All the workshops I did last year in my day job are housed on my Sr. Years ICT wiki.
This year I'm doing a similar job in the French sector. My new wiki is called Litteratie avec les TIC. It has some content in both languages.
My Slidespace is where I share almost all my presentations; all of them that aren't housed on wikis.
I've made a few of them into "slidecasts" (slideshow+podcast) three of which are below:
I've Got 5 Minutes
A Day In The Life V3.2Teaching Interdependance v3
I've been slowly growing my YouTube channel. It has some instructional screencasts and a couple of presentations including my Keynote for the 2010 K12 Online Conference cut up into three bite sized parts:
5 Minutes To Make A Difference - about 5 min
Teaching (a pedagogical framework) - about 8 min
The full uninterrupted Keynote for the 2010 K12 Online Conference, called interSections, is available on my blip.tv channel - about 25 min
I've been sharing lots of stuff via my flickr account; I'm trying to keep up with taking at least one photo a day and cross posting them to my photo blog. As I read interesting things I've been trying to get better at designing visual learning objects by mashing up interesting images with interesting quotes. I've been sharing them in the Great Quotes About Learning and Change photo pool and in two photo sets, one in English and the other en français. (I've got some catching up to do with my French flickr set.) Everything is licensed under Creative Commons so feel free to reuse them in any way you like.
Some of my workshops housed on wikis are:
SMARTen Up! (how to use an IWB effectively in the classroom)
All Things Audio (hands-on educational podcasting workshop with my buddies John Evans and Rob Fisher.) It's also available in French as Toutes choses audio (I flew solo on this one. John and I are planning to make it available in Spanish and German at the upcoming B.Y.T.E. Conference at the end of February.)
Gettin' Googley (an introduction to select Google Tools in education)
I also have a presentations wiki for other workshops I've done but it really needs some cleaning up. If you don't mind the mess you can poke around.
And finally, here are some of the varied spaces you can connect with me online.

In short: Brilliant organisation, smashing weather and a PB to boot. Couldn't be better!Date of review: September 24, 2009
In short: FantasticDate of review: September 24, 2009
In short: Wonderful atmosphere and brilliant for beginnersIn full: This is such a great event and the support from the North East spectators is fantastic. Not a race for a PB as it's so busy. just one to run around happily high fiving spectators and enjoying the rewards of your training. The buzz of the whole event seems just the thing to get any beginners hooked on running.Date of review: September 24, 2009
In short: FanbloodytasticIn full: If you're after a PB, dont bother applying. If you're after a fab day out with great organisation, a steady run, loads of support along the way, loads of drinks, a great t shirt and medal at the end then this is the one for you. Thank you everyone for making this a truly memorable day.Date of review: September 24, 2009
In short: Fantastic event - and FUN!!In full: Fist time at the GNR and I will def do it again!Read some of the other reviews - can't believe people are complaining about the price. How much does it cost to book the Red Arrows - twice??!Organisation was superb. Yes a few issues at the start, but this was more the fault of runners turning up late or trying to get into pens they didn't belong to.The route was congested throughout (and I was in Zone C) but never worried about tripping someone or being tripped.As others said, the powerade was very wasteful, but brilliant to see so much water available all around the course (and at the start and finish). Local support is humbling, others have gone into detail, but their generousity and encouragement made the race for me.The course wasnt too hilly (long and steady as opposed to short and steep) and the sprint down the hill to the sea at the end was wonderful.Well done to everyone associated with the race, and of course, the people of the NE.Date of review: September 24, 2009
In full: The run that converted me to running 5 years ago still holds its own amongst the many half marathons I've clocked up since. Organisation was extremely good, with lots of en route loos, regular water and Powerade stations and mist showers. Definitely one I'd recommend. Fabulous. Date of review: September 24, 2009
In short: great raceIn full: Love this race, will be back next yearDate of review: September 24, 2009
In short: Great Experience Fantastic FinishIn full: This run is all about the people of Newcastle and South Shields. The street are lined with beautiful human beings of all ages giving you water, ice poles, oranges and even buying suckers from the ice cream vans and giving them to us as we passed by their towns. I was continually cheered on by the wonderful people, thanks to one lad who cheered at just the right moment, I so needed that encouragement. The finish is spectacular, you come over the top of the hill and there is the sea and you it gives you another kick to push you to the finish line. The red arrows put on a great show and that was worth finishing for. I have taken part in 5 half marathons and this was te best for the support and finish. I could not believe how I could just not move because of the vast field of runners and I have never ran to the finish were I have been unable to sprint because there were too many people around me! The end was just like the start, so many people all working towards the same goal. How amazing. I witnessed many wonderful acts of people at their best, see we are a great race! One lad gave her water up for another person struggling and in need of water, people apologising to you as they knocked you, which was inevitable due to the vast field, people running for causes so dear to them and precious. We are a winderful race and I am proud to be part of it. Date of review: September 24, 2009
In short: Great in every way........In full: I keep coming back for more of those Geordie hills, I just love this race. The spectators are fantastic - you can't beat it. The heat was a bit of a shock this year, but I'll be back again next year - trying yet again to get near that 2 hour mark!!Date of review: September 24, 2009

Physical Description
These medium-sized cats have stout bodies, long legs, large feet, and stubby tails. All of these characteristics allow them to move quickly over short distances. Their soft, thick fur is usually some shade of yellow or grayish brown. It is often marked with indistinct pale lines or spots. Their white whiskers frame their muzzle. Most have a kind of collar of long hair around their necks and under their chins. They are distinctivelyfor their prominent ear tufts--long, black hair on the tips of their ears. Eurasian lynx are also said to have a haughty stare.
Generally, males are larger and more powerful than females. Size differention probably originated from sexual competition in which only the large and powerful males survived to mate.

Dell Pops on Microsoft Rumors: Winners & Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Dell (DELL) shares jumped 2.1% to $13.11 on Tuesday following news that Microsoft (MSFT) may invest as much as $3 billion in an eventual takeover of the struggling PC maker.
CNBC's David Faber is reporting that Microsoft may invest anywhere between $1 billion and $3 billion as part of a private-equity bid for Dell. The form of the investment would be mezzanine financing, which is defined as financing in the form of debt that converts to equity should the debt not be paid back on time and in full.
Shares of Microsoft ticked lower following the reports, off 0.39% to $27.15.
Google (GOOG) shares fell 1% to $697.51 as the company heads into a crucial earnings report after the close of trading Tuesday.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Google to earn $10.49 a share on $12.3 billion in revenue this quarter, aided by a slowing decline in click-per-costs (CPC), a key metric for ads.
Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandler believes this may be the case. "Reported CPC growth is on the verge of improving, mostly as Google comps the downtick that started back in 4Q11. Some investors use this metric as a proxy for improving mobile monetization, hence any improvement would be a positive catalyst," Sandler wrote in a research note. He rates Google shares buy with an $850 price target.
Research In Motion (RIMM) shares soared, gaining 8.9% to $17.25 followings reports that CEO Thorsten Heins would consider licensing out BlackBerry's operating system, if it made sense.
The German newspaper Die Welt questioned Heins what took Research In Motion so long to make a new operating system, and Heins explained the company had to make it future proof for the next 10 years. The prospect of licensing the new OS was brought up, as Microsoft does with Windows.
"Before you licensed the software, you must show that the platform has a large potential," Heins told Die Welt . "First we have to fulfill our promises. If such proof, a licensing is conceivable."
Apple (AAPL) shares were modestly lower, off 0.36% to $498.18 as the company gets set to report fiscal first-quarter earnings Wednesday.
More than 6.2 million iPhones were activated on Verizon's (VZ) network last quarter, half of which were iPhone 5s. This fact leads some to believe that Apple may have sold as many as 56 million iPhones in the all-important holiday quarter.
Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White noted that Verizon has accounted for approximately 11% of Apple's total iPhone shipments over the past six quarters.
"Using this 11% number, we can easily back into a greater than 56 million iPhone shipment number in the quarter. Even with 12% penetration, we can get over 51 million," White wrote in a note.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – 2012 National Champion and Olympic Trials for Women's Boxing participant Alex Love (Monroe, Wash.) has been elected to represent the sport of boxing on the United States Olympic Committee Athletic Advisory Council. Love's term will begin on January 1, 2013 and she will replace long-standing representative Aaron Alafa (Porterville, Calif.).
The 23-year-old Love was one of the history-making 24 women to compete in the first-ever Olympic Trials for Women's Boxing in February. She moved down to the light flyweight division for the USA Boxing National Championships, where she won a gold medal and earned a berth on the 2012 Women's World Championships team. As a former USA Boxing National Team member, she will bring valuable experience to her role as a USOC AAC representative.
Love felt that it was important to make her voice heard through the AAC and hopes to provide a voice to USA Boxing's athletes and ensure that their needs are met. She will serve a four-year term on the USOC Athlete Advisory Council.
2012 Olympian Jamel Herring was selected as the alternate for the position.

State Sen. Angela Giron hugged dejected supporters, some shedding tears late Tuesday, as the Pueblo Democrat entered the Pueblo Union Depot for her concession speech.
"I'm a little perplexed, but here is what I know: I know that I have not one iota of regret from what I voted on," Giron said to thunderous applause.
"And I know that we did not leave one stone unturned. All of you were here and the work you put in and all the work that I felt that I put in, we couldn't have done any more."
Giron did not mention her opponent, Republican George Rivera.
Giron said all of her supporters did their part.
"We all should be proud of the work that we did and it appears that we have a lot more work to do," Giron said.
She said the election will only make her and her supporters stronger and better.
"I love this community. I love you. We know that there's some work to do."
"I've never been any prouder to be with a group of people than the people that are in this room, that you stayed here to the end," she said.
The crowd stayed strong until about 9:45 p.m. The senator came in to the depot about 10:15 p.m. She talked briefly as election numbers swung toward her recall.
After she left, more people headed for the doors, still unsure of the final results.
Supporters danced, cheered and danced some more early on.
During her concession speech, Giron said although she is a crier, she wasn't going to cry.
"This is just going to make us stronger. I ran into a few people that were shedding some tears and I said, 'No,' " Giron said.
"We cannot shed tears about this. What we have to do is turn that into strength and commitment to this community, to this state, to this country.
"And the people that can do that are in this room."
Giron said, "We will win in the end, because we are on the right side and we care. We are compassionate and we love people and so that always wins out."

Katy Perry should give her limo driver a cut of the royalties from her music video Dark Horse because he discovered the cute dog who has become its breakthrough star, TMZ.com suggested.
Her driver to the Grammy Awards last month noticed the pooch — a Pomeranian named Jiff — doing skateboard tricks for a crowd.
The driver shot a video and took a flier from the dog's owner.
When the singer returned to the limo after the awards show, she asked what the driver had done while waiting for her. He showed her the video.
Two days later, her reps fetched the flier from the driver and made a deal with the dog's owner to put Jiff in the video.
Perry has said she will work with Jiff again.

Bill Gates, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp., said that even though he was a big proponent of touch-screens, the recently announced iPad tablet personal computer should have a keyboard, which would transform it into a netbook.
"I am a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard – in other words a netbook – will be the mainstream on that. So, it's not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with iPhone where I say, 'Oh my God, Microsoft didn't aim high enough'. It's a nice reader, but there's nothing on the iPad I look at and say, 'Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it'," Bill Gates said in an interview with Bnet web-site.
Bill Gates is by far not the first technology expert who finds Apple iPad to be full of disadvantages, but the former head of the world's largest software company is definitely among the most radical one. If some other observers think about how to improve the iPad, Mr. Gates proposes to transform it into a netbook. There was a reason, though, why Apple decided to make its iPad a slate, not a netbook: the device seems to be underpowered for serious applications and keyboard would encourage end-users to launch them only to get disappointed with performance.
The prediction that netbooks will be more popular than tablets in the short-term future is completely logical simply because netbooks are available from tens of companies. However, tablets are supposed to suit casual consumers better than netbooks and in the long term their popularity may become at least comparable with that of netbooks thanks to the fact that slate-type PCs may also serve as e-book readers.

Hi Bellas,
I wanted to show you some of the pics from the Avant Garde Shoot I did a few weeks ago. I like the way they came out...totally different from everything else on my portfolio. Sometimes it's fun to work outside the box and use the face as a canvas for new and creative looks.
Tonight is the MAC event near me previewing the MAC Makeup Artists' Collection. It actually released 8/20/09 but many stores are doing a special preview event. They usually do this for bigger collections in the fall. I've already made my list and i'm ready to go! I'll most likely film a haul video soon after to share my goodies.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Depending on who you ask, crushing the blacks in your color grade can be a good or bad stylistic choice. In principle, it is used to make images "pop" more, as the dark parts, which usually retain some elements of light and shading, are "crushed" off the spectrum for complete darkness — thus drawing your eye's attention to the parts of the image with more information.

Bucks County Playhouse revived at 73 and still younger than Springtime
There hasn't been much drama at New Hope's historic Bucks County Playhouse lately, at least not on the stage.
Closed due to financial and other problems, this dowager of what was once known as the "straw-hat" theater (after the long-ago practice of men changing their hats from felt to straw in the summer) seemed to have had its last curtain call. But theater "angels" emerged from the wings, vowing that the show would go on. They promise a totally updated and revamped 21st century BCP, yet one whose iconic exterior will remain the same.
On April 24, 2012, Jed Bernstein, producing director of the Bucks County Playhouse, announced the theater would reopen on July 2 with a production of "A Grand Night For Singing," by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
"Bucks County was such an important place in the life of Oscar Hammerstein II," noted Ted Chapin, President and Executive Director of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. "In Highland Farm he had a retreat where he did much of his creative work. That a Rodgers & Hammerstein show…is reopening the legendary Bucks County Playhouse is a thrill to us all." Following that production will be the Neil Simon comedy "Barefoot in the Park," which first opened at the BCP about 50 years ago.
As hard as it is to imagine, the Bucks County Playhouse almost didn't make it.
According to the memory of one of its founders, Broadway music arranger Donald J. Walker, who wrote a series of articles in 1953 for the New Hope Gazette that were reprinted recently by the Bucks County Herald, in 1939 "bookies" in New York were giving odds of 11 to 5 against the playhouse.
The theater was conceived at a New York cocktail party in July, 1938. The spark plug behind the idea was St. John (pronounced SINJIN) Terrell, a publicist with his own musical company. Along with Terrell and Walker were playwright Keynon Nicholson and retired silent screen and stage actor Richard Bennett.
To the New Yorkers of the day, who toured Europe without thinking about it but regarded an excursion to rural Pennsylvania as a daring adventure, New Hope had become familiar territory. An artists' colony had been active there in the early 20th century, but by the late 1920s had gone elsewhere.
Theater people started to arrive in the 1930s, including playwright Moss Hart and his wife, singer-actress Kitty Carlisle Hart. Over drinks at New Hope's Logan Inn, one New York wit noted that the Harts' lavish property, said to have included palm trees, "was what God would have done if he'd only had the money."
Annie Kaufman Schneider, the daughter of Moss Hart's collaborator George S. Kaufman, told Pennsylvania Heritage magazine in 2000 that her father also purchased a summer home there. This brought a weekend crowd of notables to the Delaware River village.
"The theater people- the writers the directors, the lyricists, the actors and the producers- congregated around our house and Moss's. It was non-stop. The next weekend it would begin all over again," recalled Schneider.
It came to the attention of Walker, St. John and the others that a group of New Hope residents, the New Hope Mill Association, was interested in purchasing and preserving the New Hope Flour Mill that had recently closed. Founded in the late 18th century by Benjamin Perry, a wealthy miller, the mill gave the town- up to that time known as Coryell's Ferry- its name.
The picturesque location of the mill on the river had an immediate appeal to the New Yorkers. After several parties that according to Walker were liberally fueled with martinis and Manhattans, the New Hopers, led by community leader Henry Chapin, decided to go in with the New Yorkers. They formed a joint stock company that tried to sell shares to fund the building's transformation. The New Yorkers promised a flood of celebrities and talent would sweep into town in support. It didn't.
In humorous detail Walker, who claimed his wife Audrey came up with the name Bucks County Playhouse, described its chaotic creation. Although they did manage to get a $100 share from Moss Hart, who they found at home dressed in a gaucho costume, tracking down writer Dorothy Parker in the wilds of Upper Tinicum Township in the dead of night with faulty directions proved more difficult. When the triumphant St. John Terrell emerged from her home with a $50 check, Walker was horrified to discover it was made out to Terrell's own theater company, not the BCP.
The theater, designed by architects Donald Hedges and Edwin J. Schreuers, gradually took shape. Progress was slow, and accidents like the roof catching fire the day before opening night seemed to plague the BCP. When veteran character actor Edward Everett Horton, who was to play the lead in "Springtime for Henry" arrived, he was stunned. "Where are they going to play this show, on a raft in the river?"
Walker recalled a tremendous effort that had actors, cast and crew installing seats the day before the performance. "We were only able to do it because we were in our 20's and had both the energy and idealism to do it," he noted.
Finally, opening night arrived on July 1, 1939. New York Times theater cartoonist Al Hirschfeld was among the luminaries on hand to record it for posterity.
Richard Bennett was given the task of giving the opening speech. He was in fine form until he suddenly veered off course when attempting to make a comparison between the BCP and the famous music festival at Salzburg, Austria. "Yes friends, we'll do it," he intoned, "will make New Hope the Stroudsburg of America!"
Few seemed to notice Bennett's flub. For most in the audience, the idea that the theater nobody thought would happen, HAD happened, was enough. A proud theatrical history had begun. Here's to you BCP, "break a leg."
