What the heck has he been in that you could have reached Shia levels of hatred?
Star Trek
But my first couple of introductions to Pitt were in True Romance,
Legends of the Fall
A River Runs through it
12 Monkeys
I thought he was just "meh" - without Sir Anthony, that movie is just a muddled, incomprehensible mess - I know I'm in the minority on that one.
Tom Cruise is a perfect example of that for me.
He was better in those three roles than in almost anything since, possibly excepting Magnolia and Tropic Thunder. BUT, he made a number of entertaining movies along the way.
But then, it just goes off the rails on a crazy train - Pike "senses" something, and ultimately puts Kirk in command? WTF? So, now he jumps from newly commissioned ensign to O-6, without spending any significant time learning the job?
I agree with this entirely.
I don't care how good he was as a temporary Captain. There is a track in any military organization and he would have to be on it that to see promotion. He certainly couldnt go from O-1 to O-6 in a matter of a few days. The only angle I can think of was Nero devastated the fleet and there were a shite ton of battle field promotions (much like World War 2 when are armed forces suddenly expanded to millions of men and suddenly you had a shite ton of very young Generals).
Beyond that though I really thought JJ did a good job with capture the spirit of the Original Trek.
Then again I was never much of a fan of anything past TNG...
I really thought JJ did a good job with capture the spirit of the Original Trek.
I'm still asking questions. Can this team do anything like "City on the Edge of Forever"? "Amok Time"? Heck, "A Taste of Armageddon" or "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"? Maybe that's not what modern, movie-going audiences are looking for - but it is what I expect from Star Trek.
Let's be fair now, did the OS movies do anything close to those episodes either?
I love The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country
I tried to see the intact characters in 2009, but all I found were 1-note jokes, unrecognizable "origin of" stories and big-budget special effects. It is a very pretty film, but beyond that - not Star Trek.
straight Spock telling gay Spock about the value of the Kirk/Spock friendship
WTF....? This thread is still going?!?!
WTF....? This thread is still going?!?!
the Kobayashi Maru sequence
Mine isn't even a reboot. I didn't really like any of the X-men movies except for First Class. I've read X-men since I was 11 and, to me, Singers film's were garbage. He dropped the ball on so many of the characters. Cyclops being the main victim. X2 was ok, but if I'm being honest, I just didn't like it. I get why others like 1 and 2 though.
Was terrible. Instead of it portraying how badly Kirk doesn't believe in no win scenarios, it was basically him acting like a punk and sticking it to Starfleet.
Yes it is. Thanks, at least partially, to you, my brother

Playboy.com's Exclusive Interview with Charlie Hunnam
We sit down with the leading man of FX's biker series Sons of Anarchy to chat about his hit show, reaching a mutual understanding with pigs and his outrageous new film 3, 2, 1…Frankie Go Boom out this Friday.
Since storming onto the scene four years ago as the heir apparent of the fictional Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Jax Teller, 32-year-old English actor and screenwriter Charlie Hunnam has quickly risen up the ranks as one of the most desirable young thespians in the business who would rather cast off his own opinions and concentrate on his craft than cut another paycheck in the spotlight.
Despite his heavy SOA schedule, Hunnam is already slated for two major releases in the next nine months: crime drama Deadfall, costarring Eric Bana and Olivia Wilde, and the highly anticipated sci-fi flick Pacific Rim from acclaimed fantasy director Guillermo del Toro.
Sons returned to FX last month for its fifth season, already dominating both cable and broadcast network ratings; Hunnam's next move is independent comedy 3,2,1…Frankie Go Boom, out on VOD now and in theaters Friday, alongside Lizzy Caplan and Sons costar Ron Perlman. After an attempted drunken night's hookup leads to a sibling-filmed incompetent sex video being marketed to a porn studio, Hunnam's hilarious Frankie must deal with the likes of angels, over-eager swine and, naturally, a murderous father-in-law.
Charlie sat down with us to chat about his new film, the origins of Ron Perlman and the legend of the infamous white tennis shoes. It would be unfair to neglect the fact that he also shares a birthday with Mr. Hugh M. Hefner himself.
Playboy.com: What did you enjoy most about visiting the Playboy Mansion: meeting Hugh or the Bunnies?
Hunnam: I was actually more excited to meet the animals. [laughs] I'm an animal lover. He has a huge variety of animals out back.
Playboy.com: 3,2,1…Frankie Go Boom is coming out next month. Tell us about the film.
Hunnam: It's a really sweet, wacky sex comedy. It's a pretty hard film to sum up. It's a love story set amongst the backdrop of total eccentric mania.
Playboy.com: Frankie's parents would be the type to keep around little blue pills; wouldn't that have solved the film's conundrum?
Hunnam: That would work, but what would we do for the other hour? [laughs] I think that after being screwed over so many times by his mom and his brother, he has developed an absolute refusal to go to his family for anything, which is probably what stopped him from going to borrow one of Dad's Viagra.
Playboy.com: Similar to Frankie in the film, have you ever been given reason to be afraid of your girlfriend's father?
Hunnam: I'm not very good at most things, but I'm pretty good at relationships. I grew up with a single mother, so she kind of drummed into us being chivalrous and treating our partners well and not being a total asshole. So I've gotten along well with the fathers-in-law.
Playboy.com: What was the most bizarre scene to film in FGB?
Hunnam: I think having to wrestle that pig; it was a harrowing experience. They are very aggressive, strong, loud creatures. You can't even believe the noise and ferociousness of this little beast. He was so placid before I picked him up, and the second I did he pissed all over me. Screaming and crying and wriggling and tried to bite me! I was like, wow; could we not get a prosthetic pig? But then he got used to me and was a little better to work with.
Playboy.com: So no threats of bacon were uttered?
Hunnam: No, man. I haven't eaten pork in 25 years so I thought I was a shoo-in with this pig! I thought he was going to love me, but I didn't get any bonus points for that. [laughs] I don't even get points from cops for not eating pork, which I also kind of regret.
Playboy.com: The fifth season of Sons of Anarchy just started up; what can we look forward to this season?
Hunnam: It has felt to me like a fresh, really new dynamic within the club. Now that I'm president, it went from, overnight, the old-school dictatorship to the new, cool democracy. The young and up-and-coming guys in the club like me and Chibs and Tig and those guys are really starting to run the show a little bit more. Of course Clay (Ron Perlman) still has a dangerous presence hanging over the guys, and you never know what to expect from that guy, but it really feels…and Perlman actually just walked into this room — it's always going to be a little bit contentious between them.
Playboy.com: You're costarring alongside Ron Perlman in Frankie where he plays a cross-dresser. He has some pretty crazy storylines with both this and Sons of Anarchy. What species is that man?
Hunnam: [Laughs] Did you just say what species is he? Man, I don't know, but there's not too many of them walking around! I'm pretty sure it's not human, might be some crossbreed like half-human, half — Wait…Maybe if a caveman mated with a Neanderthal mated with a contemporary man — with a little bit of rhino thrown in there? That's Perlman.
Playboy.com: Sons creator Kurt Sutter is known to be very transparent in his opinion of the media, the industry and entertainment as a whole. What is it like working with him and how does it affect his role on the show compared to working on other projects?
Hunnam: I have a great relationship with Kurt and interact with him often. But in terms of the day-to-day making of the show, he's not that involved with my part of it. He writes every episode and he edits every episode, but he only directs the finale. When's he not directing he doesn't come to set.
He's a very opinionated guy; we have a different strategy in that regard. I only want to be known for my work. I'm an actor and I'm a writer and that's all I want. I have no interest in being a celebrity or a personality — or even to share my opinions publicly. I want to share my opinion as a character in a film, not my opinion as an actor in the world. But that's fine if he wants to go out and kind of make his narration on how he sees things. That's his prerogative; I just have a different approach, personally. That's because I'm not so sure about my opinions. For an actor, anonymity is the absolute best friend, because then you can reside solely in the world of the characters you play.
After a while, in the period when Tom Cruise was out talking about his stuff, you get the sense — when you're walking into a Tom Cruise movie, you do that with baggage. I like the Daniel Day-Lewis route, where you go in and you show up every three years, and you never hear anything otherwise. Though there's absolutely part of an actor's life where he's required to go out and publicize his movie. But still, that's not me talking about myself, that's me talking about my movie.
Playboy.com: What research did you do to come across as an authentic biker? Was it hard to mask your British accent?
Hunnam: I have the ability to do it perfectly, but I definitely slip up. [laughs] I love research, when you're welcomed into a world. Hollywood is so seductive; it gives you access into worlds that you'd never normally be given access to. I got access to — and I don't want to say their name outright — the most famous white bikers' club in the world. I got to go hang out with them for a couple of weeks. Out of that research I learn so much, but the stuff I get absolutely right in the TV show is the stuff I get criticized for the most.
I've got "weekend warriors" who aren't really living the life. They've got a Harley, and they ride bikes once or twice a month; I ride my motorcycle every single day, exclusively. I have a car, but I don't even know where the car keys are anymore. These guys come up to me, "Why do you wear white tennis shoes on the show? Bikers don't wear tennis shoes!" I'm like, "No, man, you don't wear tennis shoes 'cause you're a fucking dentist!" All my friends that are actually patched members of the most famous outlaw motorcycle group in the world all wear tennis shoes, so why don't you go fuck yourself.
That thing drives me crazy about the white sneaks on the show. Because I wear the same shoes, the same jeans — same make, same cut, same wash — same hoodies and exact same construct as a guy that I met who had grown up in that motorcycle club. He's 22 years old; he has had every single birthday party of his life in the clubhouse in his hometown where he grew up. His father was a 37-year member of that club. I actually found the guy that I was playing in the show. He was part of that life, and a total outlaw, and he was shot dead two weeks before we started filming.
Playboy.com: You have Pacific Rim coming up next year. What can you tell us about the project?
Hunnam: We're telling a story in a world where monsters are living among us, coinhabiting this planet with us, and they're very, very hostile. It's a beautiful drama about a few people who are embroiled in this fight with these monsters. I feel like I don't have an appetite for a lot of these comic book movies that come out about monsters and robots and stuff because I feel they are unmistakably cynical enterprises, exclusively designed to make money. That's not the kind of thing I'm interested in; I'm interested in telling beautiful stories. So when you have that kind of world with Guillermo at the helm? All of that cynicism falls away and you're actually making an authentic film with integrity and it just happens to be about monsters.
Playboy.com: What was your first Playboy?
Hunnam: I came to Playboy pretty late; I can't remember what beautiful lady was on the cover, but I was probably about age 16 or 17.
3,2,1…Frankie Go Boom is available now on VOD and in theaters Friday. Sons of Anarchy airs Tuesday at 10/9c on FX.

Play-By-Playmate: Air Jaime at Red Bull Flugtag
Jaime earns her wings at the Red Bull Flugtag in Tampa.
Subscribe to Play-by-Playmate
Last week I had the good fortune of serving as a celebrity judge for the Red Bull Flugtag in Tampa.
What is a flugtag, you might ask?
According to Red Bull, it's a homemade human-powered flying machine. Chances are you already know what I'm talking about.
I knew for a month and a half that I would be a judge, and this was one of those events that make me love my job. To me, this wasn't work. I counted down the days to this event, which I spent with over 100,000 people and teams of grown adults who were basically acting stupid. How else could you describe adults who build homemade human-powered flight machines and then pilot them off a 30-foot high deck in the hopes of achieving flight?
Although I'm an adult, I don't always like to put on my grown-up pants. I enjoy doing non-grown-up activities as often as I can. So getting to judge grown adults do something like this made for a great day of work for me.
Along with myself there were five other judges: Tampa Bay Rays' Evan Longoria, former NFL player Ryan Nece, pro golfer Lexi Thompson, motocross racer Tarah Gieger and radio personality MJ from the MJ Morning Show in Tampa. They sat me between Evan and Ryan and my first thought was, 'Oh great. They probably think I'm going to be the Paula Abdul of the group here.' But that definitely was not going to be the case. I'm a tough judge. I thought to myself, they have no idea I'm more of the Simon Cowell of this group.
The only problem I had was with Ryan Nece, because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and one of the teams was Potter-themed. I tried to bully/pout/bat my lashes/flirt with Ryan to give them a higher score because he really didn't appreciate or understand the whole Harry Potter theme. That was the only time I tried to influence a judge, and he didn't even fall for it.
There were three components to the judging. There was creativity, which we got a better understanding of in the morning when we were taken around to all 38 teams to see the flugtags before they went off a ramp and crashed into pieces. We got to question some teams about how they planned on getting their vehicles to fly. There were some we had high hopes for, and there were others we questioned.
Launch Gallery
I definitely had a couple of favorites, Team Turbo Jorts being one of them. Underneath it all I'm a redneck from south Georgia, and these guys looked similar to my family members with their jorts, mullets and mustaches. Their craft was an airboat, and I grew up riding on airboats in the Everglades. So I felt a kinship with that group. Those guys were my early favorites.
We also judged teams based on their skit, which was performed before the flight, and on the actual flight itself. So that's the background on how the judging was scored. Only one team, the A-Team, got a perfect 10 from all the judges.
By the end, I was just itching to cannonball off that 30-foot jump. Longoria told me I was crazy, but that jump was nothing compared to the almost 800-foot bungee jump I did while on The Amazing Race. Cannon balling 30 feet is like jumping into a swimming pool.
As I was thanking the Red Bull workers, they asked if I would like to get my own team together. It's going to be in Miami next November. They said it'd be awesome if I wanted to enter a Playboy Playmate team, so I'm definitely going to start recruiting girls for that. We've just got to find someone who's able to draw or build us a high-powered human-flying machine. I fully intend for my Playmate team to get a perfect score in the creativity department. We'll mostly likely have to get a lot of our points there, but we'll get them where we can. I've already decided I'm going to be the pilot, and I definitely intend on achieving flight.

Dremel To Launch Pinewood Derby® Days
Beginning every other Saturday, from January 7, 2012 - February 18, 2012, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM, Dremel will launch its Pinewood Derby® Days programs at all participating Lowe's Home Improvement stores. Pinewood Derby enthusiasts will have the opportunity to learn how to shape their Pinewood Derby® racers with Dremel tools and accessories. Each Pinewood Derby® enthusiast will get a Pinewood Derby® Days patch (while supplies last)! Andrea Ash, VP of Marketing, Dremel, speaks to the Licensing Insider about Dremel's overall success!BSA Licensing Insider: Tell us about your product line?Ash: The Dremel brand is the creator of versatile tool systems that help people make their large or small projects a success. All of the tool systems we create have the attributes of compact size, versatility, precision and superior ergonomics. These attributes make our tools perfect for working in tight spaces, making one tool do many things, finishing the last detail and doing it all with a comfortable tool. Most people know us as the creators of the high-speed rotary tool and for its incredible versatility and ability to take-on a multitude of applications and materials. We achieve this versatility using our many attachments and accessories. We call the combination of tool, attachments and accessories a tool system. The Dremel brand has now created other versatile tool systems such as the Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool system, Dremel Trio multi-purpose tool system and the Dremel Saw-Max system. All of these systems share the same attributes that made our rotary tool famous.BSA Licensing Insider: Thinking about the end user of your products, can you describe your typical customer?Ash: There is no typical Dremel customer. The universal appeal that Dremel products have with consumers is the result of the tools being enjoyed by a wide range of users. Men, women, DIYers, crafters, professionals, artists, industrial workers, hobbyists, and more. We run the gamut. BSA Licensing Insider: Where can a consumer buy your products?Ash: Dremel products are available at most hardware and home improvement centers nationwide, or you may visit dremel.com.BSA Licensing Insider: How has the Boy Scouts of America license helped you grow your business?Ash: The Boy Scouts of America license has been a significant asset. The Dremel brand and Lowe's home improvement centers teamed-up to help introduce the joy of derby car racing in America to a wide audience. Because the parents of the racers were using Dremel products to help fashion their child's car it was an ideal situation for Lowe's and Dremel to work cooperatively. Having the Boy Scouts of America license lent new awareness and credibility to what we were doing. The Dremel brand was allowed to use the Pinewood Derby name in its marketing efforts and apply the BSA seal on product packaging. Now the parents of Scouts Pinewood Derby enthusiasts everywhere know the help they receive from Lowe's and the Dremel products they purchase will help them make the best Pinewood Derby car possible.BSA Licensing Insider: In your opinion, what is the key to successful innovation in your business and industry?Ash: Listening to your customer. It sounds simple and basic, but the level at which the Dremel brand does it is quite extensive. We feel the most valuable feedback we can receive is listening to what our users tell us and then implementing that feedback in the form of the services we provide and the products themselves. Businesses that try to invent products in a vacuum are most likely destined to fail.BSA Licensing Insider: What new and exciting products do you have in the pipeline that you can share?Ash: We'd love to share news about our latest versatile tool system, the Dremel Saw-Max. After extensive listening to our users, we found out that many people are intimidated by a full-size circular saw to make common cuts around the house. Many look at the 7 ¼" toothed blade and substantial size and weight of the circular saw and say no thanks. We invented the Dremel Saw-Max for people who don't need a full-size saw to do the job and for those who want an easy to use tool that makes cutting simple. The Dremel Saw-Max is one third the size and weight of a circular saw yet it's powerful enough to cut through virtually any material and simple enough to be able to control with one hand. Its compact size and ergonomic design makes it easy to handle, easy to follow the cut line, and easy to store. The Dremel Saw-Max lets users cut with confidence because they know it will get the job done quickly and get it done right.The Dremel Saw-Max is being received very well by consumers. So whether Saw-Max is the user's first introduction to the Dremel brand, or they are discovering Saw-Max as a long-time user of other Dremel products, the good feelings that consumers experience when using our tools are similar because the attributes of our tools are the same.BSA Licensing Insider: What is the single most important ingredient in Dremel's culture that contributes to its overall success?Ash: Going back to your previous question about the key to successful innovation, the ingredient in Dremel brand culture is listening to our customer. We believe in it so strongly that anyone visiting our website is provided the opportunity to share their product ideas with us. Those people with ideas that make it past a vetting process can actually receive monetary compensation for their ideas.


text: I have a question or two about towing. It's been a while since I had to figure out tow ratings and such. I used to tow a trailer for work 3 Z-turn mowers +equip. But that was with a 2500 4x4 truck and was about 10 years ago. I have a 2006 Silverado crew cab L59, 3.23 rear gear, with the HD towing pkg. From what I'm reading from my owners manual, I can tow approx 6700# max with the gears I have or 7,700# if I had 3.73 gears. I'm wondering if what I have now would be enough to tow a single car trailer 7'x17' with a 3300# car or a 4000# suv on board? Or would it be worth my time to upgrade my rear gears? I would probably be towing 6,000 miles a year.

haroldsnepsts replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralBecause he was being interviewed? If people are so bitter that these athletes are paid so much money for playing hockey, why even watch the sport? You're the ones ultimately paying their salaries. Hockey is entertainment. And entertainment is big business. These guys come from an elite talent pool and are paid accordingly. Technically they're actually underpaid because their salaries are artificially restricted by the cap.

haroldsnepsts replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralExactly. It's not like he literally didn't understand it was a business. If a player doesn't take a hometown discount as fans we call him greedy. Then a player expresses regret for taking a hometown discount and now he's greedy AND stupid. It's not like Glencross literally didn't understand the NHL is a business. During contract negotiations I'm sure management lobbies for him to be a "team player" and take a hometown discount. He got traded after a bad stretch and now feels his loyalty to them was not returned. It is a business, but I get why he regrets it. He didn't capitalize when the conditions were tilted more in his favor. Most players just don't talk about it that openly.
haroldsnepsts replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralAgain, Glencross isn't saying anything about struggling to live on the millions he's made. He's talking about leaving money on the table. Now that he's been traded after taking a hometown discount he realizes that this is first and foremost a business and regrets his decision.

Considering what they achieved the Islanders seem like the most overlooked dynasty in NHL history. 4 Stanley Cups in a row (Montreal is the only other team to better that feat and it was in the original 6 years) Won 19 consecutive playoff series (a completely untouchable record) and posted a 60-18 post season record They accomplished all this only 8 years after their creation as an expansion team.
haroldsnepsts replied to ash11's topic in GeneralI forgot Matt Cooke was bought out by the Wild. I'm guessing some team will pick him up for cheap, but I hold out hope this will be the year that POS is finally out of the league. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/818372
haroldsnepsts replied to P. Marlowe's topic in GeneralComparing the morality of the two cases, I totally agree with what you're saying. But in terms of terminating Richard's contract, I wonder if the Kings think have an out because his using drugs directly impacts his performance as a professional hockey player, so it might not be a morality clause they're using. Who knows though. The Kings are definitely being opportunistic because of Richard's terrible contract. And I'm sure Lombardi is super pissed after a heart to heart meeting with Richards last season about turning things around instead of buying him out, only to find out he may have been abusing painkillers. I just hadn't heard about the NHL approving the termination anywhere else. If that's the case I'd have to think they have some fairly winnable case if Bettman and the NHL lawyers approved it.
A couple more short pieces on Arbour if any of the youngin's here who may not know who he was are interested. Definitely one of the greatest coaches of all time. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/818109 http://www.tsn.ca/hhof-coach-arbour-passes-away-1.352204
haroldsnepsts replied to P. Marlowe's topic in GeneralWhat's interesting is when they were talking about it on TSN they said multiple times that the NHL had approved the contract termination. It initially seemed to me that the Kings were trying a hail mary to get out of that contract, but if it had to be approved by the league I'd have to think there was at least some merit to it.
haroldsnepsts replied to HockeytownRules19's topic in GeneralWow. Even from Toronto that dastardly Babcock is somehow forcing Holland to sign Cleary again. I knew Babcock was good, but I didn't know he was that good.
haroldsnepsts replied to HadThomasVokounOnFortSt's topic in GeneralHis blood alcohol level was .30 at 5:15pm on a Thursday and he was driving that drunk with his son in the car. The next move should probably be rehab.
Ha. Honestly I watched it with the sound off so I hadn't really considered the NSFW potential of the song.
Simmonds is definitely a power forward. Which is even more impressive given how scrawny the guy is. I was bummed when the Kings traded him (though it ultimately worked out) and it wasn't to the Wings.
haroldsnepsts replied to kipwinger's topic in GeneralYou could make a good case for either but I say d-man because they not only help keep the puck out of your own net, ideally they're keeping the puck out of your own end. Lidstrom wasn't just great at defense. He was a major part of what drove the Wings offense.
haroldsnepsts replied to MrazekFanBoy's topic in GeneralI hear what you guys are saying. There's definitely a chicken egg factor and like I said, Kane probably is the best american forward. But I think strength of team is a factor and not just regarding linemates. It also affects matchups. If you're on a (relatively) one-trick pony team offensively, your opponent can match up their best shut down guys against you fairly regularly. Against a deeper team those matchups get spread thinner. Do you put your best guys against Toews line or Kanes?

CNN, Rasmussen, Harris polls: Public disagrees with Obama on pretty much everything
posted at 5:22 pm on October 20, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via Ace. Honestly, as encouraging as this is, some of the data here seems simply too grim to be true. Start with the most credible, CNN:
For the first time since he took over in the White House, Americans don't see eye to eye with President Barack Obama on the important issues, according to a new national poll. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey does indicate that a majority approve of how Obama's handling his duties as president.
According to the poll, which was released Tuesday, 48 percent of people questioned say that they agree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them, with 51 percent saying no. That's a switch from April, when 57 percent said they agreed with the president on important issues, with 41 percent disagreeing.
I can buy 48/51, especially when they don't specify the issues. But can you buy this? Moe Lane of Red State crunched the numbers to gauge the trends and put together this handy harbinger of Democratic catastrophe. Remember, Rasmussen measures likely voters:
Ten for ten, and on only a few issues is it even close. Says Moe, "[P]articularly note the Health Care, Social Security, Economy, and Taxes numbers. Does the Democratic Party feel like demonizing their opponents on health care rationing some more?" Actually, I'm more interested in the numbers on Iraq. Why would the GOP lead by 19 points? And why would that lead have almost doubled in just the past month? Iraq's been completely off the media radar screen. Either the respondents are so disillusioned with Hopenchange that they're now reflexively answering each question with the equivalent of a middle finger to The One or there's something fishy going on here.
But not as fishy as this. From the Harris Interactive poll, among a sample of 2,293 adults. You've got to be kidding:
On 12 separate issues, the number willing to say he's doing "pretty good" tops out at 41 percent? CNN has his job approval at 55 percent; even assuming that's a bit skewed, it can't be much worse than 50. In which case, how you do get from a high of 41 on individual issues to overall approval of 50? My inner pessimist says things can't be this rosy for the GOP. Can they? Exit question: A lot of what's driving this, no doubt, is lefty disaffection with The One on Afghanistan, gays in the military, the public option, etc. What sort of red meat can he throw them (besides bashing Fox News) to perk these numbers up? The obvious choice would seem to be repealing "don't ask, don't tell," but if he does that then his problems with seniors are compounded. Not sure what his next move is here except passing whatever health-care bill he can and hoping it makes the left happy.

Hi all. I bought two hives at the beginning of this spring they seem to be doing well. My friend and I were thinking about expanding and splitting them next year. I have been doing a lot of shopping around to find the best deals. I was thinking about using 3 Western Bee 10 Frame Mediums for the hive body with Mann Lake Plastic frames and foundation (might shave them down to fit 11). I was thinking of the same setup for the supers (but only using 9 frames so the bees can draw out the comb further).
Is this a smart setup or should I change it a bit?
Can I still change around the shaved frames with the unshaved frames if something goes wrong?
What do I do for drone comb?
Are there a any better ideas for making the bees happy in the hive bodies and making me happy in the supers?
Are the products good from these suppliers and can I mix them like I want?
If not good products, any suggestions?
I am looking for the most cost effective way to build these hives and still get a good product out of it all.
Just a little background info on me and the hives. Two hives full of Italian bees. Located on about 140+ acres of good river bottom land(full of different plants). We are in Central Illinois so the winters here can be harsh. I got one set of bees from Long Lane Honey Bee Farm and the other set of bees from a small time farmer a few miles down the road from me. His are a bit more protective than the ones from Long Lane. Any extra advice you guys may have would be great as well. I want to start this adventure off right.


text: At 27K I decided to put Amsoil in my '07 Tahoe 2WD 2L and wonder if anyone out there has had positive long term experiences with this synthetic? Have you gained HP? Increased gas mileage?

After we left the forest we continued on our quest to the Grand Canyon. We decided to stop at the Jack Rabbit Trading Post. This proved to be a great idea for a couple of reasons. First, there was a spectacular Photo op in a giant Jack Rabbit out side of the store. We all took our turns climbing on board for our pictures, including Mom who turned out to be not so great at mounting a Jack Rabbit. With a little help from Jared and me, she got on, which was a good thing because her picture turned out to be so cute. Inside the store we found a bunch of neat little things, including a knock off version of Boone's Farm called Blue Bonnet's (of course that could be reversed). The lady gave us brown paper bags that were a little small for the bottle but were stamped with a Jack Rabbit so that made them interesting. Mom and Dad also picked up a few little knick knacks for Philip, Kristen and Peter but of course we can't divulge that information or it would ruin their surprise.

A county in the southern part of Connecticut. It has ultra wealthy towns like New Cannan, Westport, Darien, Southport and of course Greenwich. It is the wealthiest county on the East Coast. It contains beaches, estates, and great shopping districts. It also has some of the best school systems in the country.
"Fairfield County is the gateway to New England"
by Why? June 28, 2004
Fairfield County is the richest part of the East Coast. There are those extremely rich towns such as Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien, Wilton, and Westport, but Norwalk, Bridgeport, Stamford, Newtown, Easton, and Redding aren't as low as people make them seem. Norwalk and Bridgeport are NOT ghetto. Yes, they have their share of violence, but every town does. Greenwich and New Canaan are not just full of snobs either. Money does not make people who they are. There are a select few that think it does, but that is not what Fairfield County is about. It is a very diverse county and Norwalk, Bridgeport, and Stamford hold credit for most of that. The "rich bitches" can think whatever they want to think, but when it comes down to it Fairfield County is also full of the most fake people in the East Coast as well.
Unlike Wilton and Greenwich, Norwalk consists of the most real, down-to-earth people in Fairfield County.
by BALLLIN December 21, 2006
Very wealthy county, a regular contender for the the title of richest county in America. Yes, there are a lot of rich stuck ups in towns such as Westport, Greenwich, etc, but contrary to popular opinions not everyone from fairfield county wipes their ass with 20 dollar bills. Many people, even in towns like Fairfield and Danbury and especially in South Norwalk and Bridgeport, work hard and don't live like movie stars. And also, stop pretending you'll get pulled over in Fairfield or Westport or basically anywhere else in Fairfield county because you're from Bridgeport. If you get pulled over or arrested, its because you're doing something stupid...not because we're haters.
The only way anyone has ever gotten money is by working for it. Don't just bitch about how we have more money then you. Get off your ass and work.
by funkenflash August 05, 2005
The real deal about fairfield county is that it is the underage drinking capitol of the world because there is nothing else to do for a minor at night. And since most towns like Wilton, Westport, and Darien are extraordinarly rich, the mommy's and daddy's all go away for constant house parties. As for Norwalk, it is not the scum of the earth, but actually has some of the largest mansions and not to mention Stew Leonards and his fortune (By the way he belongs to a country club in Norwalk). The only thing is that Norwalk, Stamford, and Bridgeport are the only urban towns and the largest in the county. Thus there bound to have some minority, poorer population that doesnt exist in the "beautify villas of Greenwich and New Cannan." We are also not the "ghetto" as all of you claim norwalk to be. Just because not every house doesn't cost over a mill and has their own yacht does not mean were poor. Norwalk is at least what the actual real world looks outside of Fairfield Prep and your Range Rovers. Another thing that's great is that the preps are actually scared of Norwalkers. If you have long hair or wear a t-shirt and walk around Westport, don't be surprised to send kids running. Don't worry, if your from any of the rich white towns, its not your fault your so smug and rude. It's just your natural surroundings, so have fun when Daddy's credit card runs out. FC is also a great place to go insect hunting.

by F.C. resident April 04, 2005
Connecticut's southwesternmost county, really more a part of the New York suburbs than New England. Boasts the second-highest per-capita income in the country (after Teton Co., Wyoming, vacationland of the rich & famous) and is home to some towns famous for their ritziness (Greenwich, Westport, Darien, New Canaan). Contrary to the F.C.'s stereotype as a very rich, white, homogenous place, Fairfield County is home to several depressed urban areas (Bridgeport, Stamford, South Norwalk). In addition, the northern part of the county (Bethel, New Fairfield, Brookfield, Monroe, etc.), while still "suburban", is much more indicative of the rest of the country, largely free of the pretentious old-money attitude of the wealthy coastal towns. Many inhabitants of the southern part of the county commute to New York City; most of the rest of the county's population works either in Stamford or in one of the large office parks scattered around Greenwich, Wilton, Westport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Danbury, etc. Great public schools. Out-of-control home prices.
We wanted to move to Fairfield County, but land was just too expensive. We moved just outside of Hartford instead and are doing just fine, thank you.

Vanessa Hudgens' Sheer Dress, Three Mega Nipplegates & More! Which Celeb Had The Worst Wardrobe Malfunction?
Between Justin Bieber's un-zippered fly(s), Angelina Jolie's undies and Selena Gomez's unsightly Spanx incident, wardrobe malfunctions are a dime a minute in Hollywood — but which fashion-oops do YOU find most remember?
Vanessa Hudgens looked like a bombshell in Alberta Ferretti at the London premiere of her movie, Sucker Punch, but there was just one teensy, tiny problem — her gown was see-thru! Of course, we've seen the 22-year-old starlet with little to nothing on before, so it wasn't TOO shocking, but it did remind us just how common fashion technical difficulties happen in Hollywood.
Remember the time Justin Bieber's fly came undone? What about when Tara Reid's dress completely fell off, exposing her boob? And then, of course, there's the most notorious "wardrobe malfunction" of all time — Janet Jackson's infamous 2004 Super Bowl nipple slip with Justin Timberlake during the half-time show. More recently, Selena Gomez accidentally showed off her Spanx during a concert in Los Angeles, which is the same thing that happened to Lindsay Lohan on a red carpet.
Which celeb do YOU think had the biggest mishap? Why? Sound off below!

This building between 41st and 42nd streets just to the west of Bryant Park was built in 1974 as the New York Telephone Building on a design by architects Kahn & Jacobs. The International Style building featured with white marble "stripes" that echoed the vertically striped treatment of the rear of the New York Public Library on the other side of Bryant Park. In late 2006, a major renovation of the building was begun that included a complete green glass curtain wall reskinning, perhaps to compliment the new Bank of America building (One Bryant Park) on the opposite side of 42nd Street (reference)

A funny thing happened to me during the premiere for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 earlier this week. Amongst all the shriekin', hootin' and hollerin' of a cinema full of Twi-hards, I actually found myself enjoying the movie.
It's easy to be dismissed as a Twilight hater, but I approached every film in the series with an open mind. They just all happened to suck badly. I realise I'm not the target market, but I generally have very little problem getting on board with youth-targeted crap, and I have plenty of comparable juvenile pop culture obsessions.
The first film, which now seems like an exercise in artful restraint, had its moments, but I struggled to engage with the love story, despite genuinely wanting to. The second movie was bloated and excessive, and I barely made it to the end. The third film livened things up with some half-decent action, but none of it felt like it meant anything.
Then there was last year's Breaking Dawn - Part 1, a shameful exercise in fan-servicing that barely qualified as narrative cinema. Which is why I was so surprised to find myself almost, kind of, sorta liking the new film.
I think it's partly because I finally took on board just how much the franchise means to so many people. The widespread fervour generated by the films validates them on some level.
This is tenuous reasoning to be sure, and a lot of terrible things could be endorsed under the same qualification, but when you remove all the commercialisation, there remains a bunch of people who really love Twilight. And it's the kind of love I relate to.
I apply my love to much cooler things of course, but it's the same kind of love - whether it's for the films of Brian De Palma and Paul Verhoeven or Twilight.
Breaking Dawn - Part 2 also succeeds to some degree by simple virtue of it being the culmination of a long-running story. The film does a good job of embracing its climactic nature, and I'd be lying if I denied feeling something at the very end when a final montage incorporates pretty much every actor from all five movies.
Also: Kristen Stewart looks kinda cool as a vampire. The colouring suits her.
The impact of the insane success of the Twilight films on the marketplace has been felt for several years now already, and with The Hunger Games proving the sustained appeal of young adult book adaptations, we'll no doubt be seeing plenty more of them for a long time to come.
The franchise also marked the emergence of a new demographic with considerable spending power previously under served by the blockbuster market: young girls, as detailed in this article.
I'm not going to go back and watch the earlier films or anything, but I feel at a comfortable place overall with the Twilight franchise now, having been previously somewhat perplexed by my inability to embrace, enjoy, or even tolerate it.
Lots of credit has to go to director Bill Condon, who despite also being at the helm of series nadir Breaking Dawn - Part 1, manages to imbue the finalé with an earned sense of romance and a wistful tone, creepy CGI baby or not. Also: lots of people get their heads ripped off. That's never a bad thing.
For the record, my favourite vampire movies are: Joel Schmacher's '80s classic The Lost Boys; Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow's stylish 1987 vampire neo-noir cult favourite Near Dark; the recent Swedish art-house hit Let The Right One In (and its worthy American remake Let Me In); Guillermo del Toro's first feature Cronos and Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, which has aged pretty well.
Love Twilight? Hate Twilight? Will you be seeing the new film? If not, could you be swayed? Favourite vampire movies? Comment below!

Be[a]st Mashes (Black Glove edition)
April 23 was a pretty good day, thanks to a submission from Black Glove. Sadly, and embarrassedly so, I'll admit that I haven't checked in on Burlington, VT's Deke Smith and Jonathan Sandridge in well over that near two-month time span. My sincerest apologies, boys...but on the flipzy, I'm gonna remedy that now.
Holy moly, these kids have been busy...and it looks like they've been stalking some of my favorite tunes as well. There are a slew of new fix-ups and do-overs that they're hosting on their page, but I'm going to highlight some of these new tunes, because, well, they deserve it!
First on the docket is a basket full of Beach House, Mims and Chromeo. After their first mash I'd heard, it's evident that the boys are masters of the soft and intimate "hey this ain't no dandy banger" style re-work. This piece falls right in line with that sentiment, and it're precisely why I love it.
mp3: Beach House x Mims x Chromeo - Like This (Black Glove Mash)
Next up, we've got two of my favorites...Robyn and Dominique Young Unique. On one song. TOGETHER?! While it is of the smashed up variety, one can only hope that this pairing will one day lead to a real-life collaboration. We can all dream, eh?
mp3: Robyn x Dominique Young Unique - Show You My Dancing Ass (Black Glove Mash)
Rounding out the trio of radness, new star on the rise, Florrie, gets topped off with a bit of the Beastie Boys. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? Think again. Oh yum!
mp3: Florrie x Beastie Boys - 911 Body Movin (Black Glove Mash)
I'd also suggest you go to their page to check out some of their newer stuff as well. Give an ear to Kid Sister and Ludacris, M.I.A. and Don Diablo, TLC and Mims, along with a full on zip file of a ton of tracks.
Virtual high fives!

i guess that's what i was getting at rio.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Thanks for the replies, and Cub, you are welcome to look me up when you come to my "hood".
In Barry's case I know from past discussions he tends to do well whatever type of bee, long as they are set up right comb wise. But for the others, ie people experiencing heavy losses with certain bee types, and Solomon in particular, my question had to do with the effect of requeening, and this didn't get mentioned in many of the replies, please re-read the question & consider the consequences of requeening as I had suggested. Would it change things?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Solomon and all,
Installed the package today. My bees are now officially off their meds. Not a pretty install however. The package was just a sticky mess. There are so many bees that cannot fly as their wings are coated with the syrup from the can. I really think that over half of the package can't fly. The bees that can fly however were all over the yard coming and going. I am going to check on them in a few days. I do have a ziploc bag if for feeding.
I am sure I am not the only one who has had their package be a big sticky mess. What can I expect?
Also, I have a source now for some overwintered New England queens. I will plan on splitting and requeening the original colony and the split with northern queens.
Come back and tell us how it looks when you inspect.
Personally, if the bees were that bad I would have given them 24 hours to clean up before feeding them.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
I didn't address the possibility of requeening mine earlier, because a local source of queens for me wasn't known. This past week, I located a beek that sells queens about 3 miles from my farm. She says they will be available mid June. Would you advise requeening my hive, or splitting and making a nuc? Is this a ridiculous thing to try and do with a new package the first year?

Hi Cub, no reason at all not to requeen, if you think the other queen will be superior. Just, you want to be treatment free, so ensure the new queen comes from a source that claims mite resistance. Merely being local means nothing she could have bred it from a queen she purchased anywhere.
A standard precaution when requeening if you only have a few hives, is to put the old queen aside with a few bees with a comb or two of brood, until you are sure the new queen has been properly accepted. THEN kill the old one, if that is what you want.
Or, the unit with the old queen could be your new split, if both parts have enough bees to be viable.
As to can a package be split first year? This cannot be answered yes or no because it depends. The answer is yes, if it's done right. Firstly, some packages come with the bees already carrying a significant mite load. If they go to a treatment free beekeeper, these mites will hold the package back, and make a later split less likely to succeed.
But let's say the package is relatively mite free. Then, provided the nuc has a good environment that enables it to do well, yes, a point should be reached first season when there are sufficient numbers to allow 2 healthy splits, and this may even happen faster in a TBH.
But some environments are deficient in food, ie, the bees could be short of naturally occurring nectar, or pollen, at critical periods in the hive's development. The feeding of syrup if need be, plus a pollen sub if need be, can help ensure the bees are able to fulfil their potential, and it is very likely a spring package can be split into two good units a bit later in the year.
I realise this all sounds a bit more complex than a straight yes or no would have. But that's because there are many contributing factors. Mites, and sufficient available food, are two of the biggies. There are also others. If you are looking for increase, observe the bees closely, and try to mitigate anything that is slowing them down, and you should do well.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
It has been cold here in NH, upper 50's to low 60's day, in the 30's at night.
First morning after install, any bees not in the hive were dead, cleaned out as many from bottom board as possible.
I have peeked under the cover in the mornings and then in late afternoon.
In the cold mornings the bees are all clustering, later in the day they are flying in and out of the hive and appear to be working down in the frames. They are readily feeding from the ziploc. From the size of the cluster, I would estimate losses to be at least 60%
I did check the queen, not in cage so I am hoping she is under the cluster when cold and doing what she does during the warmer times.
I have not pulled any frames or done any invasive inspection since they appear to be doing what they do, I felt it best to leave them alone until this weekend. Should I pull and inspect frames then to monitor comb being drawn?
How will the large losses affect comb building? Slower I am guessing to fill out because of the lower numbers.
The temps are now climbing and we are not expected to be in the 30's at night.
Keeping my fingers crossed, but things are much improved since the install.
One more spot of good news. I located and reserved a relatively local (140 miles away in VT) overwintered nuc which I will pic up and install in early June.
I have had a lot of ups and downs this week, and learned a lot. I am trying to continue to remind myself to enjoy all aspects of this journey, even the down times.
Another sticky bee update. Got home this evening and found that the bees had swarmed about 20 feet from the hive in a small hemlock. I captured them in a small bucket and placed them back in the hive.
It was quite enjoyable capturing the swarm.
Lots of new experiences for me this week.
Back at you again, Oldtimer,
After speaking with the local beek, it appears that you are correct in your skepticism that just buying something local is somehow better. The queens I could purchase are from regularly medicated stock, so my Georgia package is basically equivalent. I did, however, find a bee tree yesterday! My first one ever, and now a friend and I plan on trapping out some starts and letting these raise a queen from either my uncapped brood, or the local beek's. This way, they can at least be bred with survivor drones, right?
It seems that the winter loss this year in my area is in the ballpark of 50%, and no one is selling local bees anywhere even close. That means more bee trees or cutouts will have to be located. After a ridiculous amount of reading and studying, I have decided attempt a split mid June, and maybe boost the initial population with feral bees that have been trapped out in a 'newspaper combine' setup.

Sounds good Cub, hopefully your enthusiasm will win the day.
I suspect though that you may be in one of those areas that does not have many so called survivor bees yet, maybe at least one of the splits you could requeen with a commercial queen claimed to be mite resistant, such as from say, beeweaver?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Quote - "BeeWeaver breeder colonies are selected annually from our thousands of hives. Our bees have not needed ANY mite treatments since 2001. When a BeeWeaver Queen heads your colony you will be able to throw away those expensive mite treatments as well".
"Thinking Inside The Box"
To refute the statement "terrible southern queens", the queens with the worst overwintering record I ever had came from New York. I have read that most queen producers get their queen mothers from a fairly small number of producers so the genetics would not be much different. If a beekeeper has large winter losses, he should evaluate his management practices. He probably has a problem that is not caused by genetics.
I know my conditions are mild compared to northern conditions, but my losses are nil, if I pay attention to management prior to October. When I do sloppy work in August and Sptember the losses will show up the next spring.
Solomon and all,
Finally have done a thorough inspection of the hive on Day 11. I am amazed at what the bees have done after the horrible sticky mess they started with. They are drawing comb on 3 frames, one in a major way. There is much nectar and pollen in many cells. What I was most excited to find however were eggs! I did not see the queen, and did not spend much time looking once I found the eggs.
So, for all my worrying and fretting, the bees figured it all out on their own as they do and taught me many lessons along the way.
I feel very pleased to not be treating them.
Thanks for your support and feedback.
NHBuckeye, glad to hear things are working.
What you are describing is one of my primary inspection methods, getting, seeing what needs to be seen and getting out. If you see eggs, especially a significant number of them, then the queen was there less than three days ago, and chances are she's fine. Check the brood distribution, check the pollen, nectar, and honey distributions, see the relative field force, how the bees are moving, what they sound like, what they smell like, make a mental note and move on. In treatment-free beekeeping, if everything looks well, usually everything is well. With enough practice, you may be able to pull a frame from a hive and know instantly that it is queenless, by the sound, the distribution of nectar, age or lack of brood, etc. It's good practice.
Doing nothing rarely makes things worse.
Doing something allows people to learn, both when they fail, but it's an especially great experience when they succeed.
It's a catchphrase that is one of the latest to be doing the rounds of Beesource. I think it's harmful because it leads people not to take action when some is required. Yes, beginners can do the wrong thing and screw up, killing queen cells when not appropriate is a common one. But if they come here, ask, and get good advise, they should then proceed with confidence.
For me, if a hive has a problem I fix it. I would not be selling the bee numbers I am if I just left everything to take care of itself. Or maybe I wouldn't be selling any bees at all.

Veal Stroganoff
Last night I made a veal stroganoff for tea .. it was ok but found it to be a little tasteless.
There were no herbs in the recipe and was wondering if may be there should have been..?
Off the top of my head there was: veal, paprika, chicken stock, worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, mushrooms, tomato paste, S&P, sour cream (that's all that comes to mind )
It was just missing something. Any ideas

Hi Venus, that is almost the exact same recipe except for the mustard verse worcestershire sauce. It did say to add chives which were only for garnish .. I wonder if they would make a big difference .. We had it with pasta.

Re: Veal Stroganoff
When I make stroganoff I add a bit of dillweed at the end rather then chives as there's already onion is the sauce. The mustard does give a nicer taste.

text: hey guys, quick little history: ive had a set of boston acoustics RC620 component speakers in my doors since my big brother gave me the truck when i was 16... so im pretty sure he installed these somewhere around 2003. ever since ive had them they have always sounded nice except not a day in my life have i heard a single bit of satisfying midrange. whenever they play loud for about a minute its like the passenger side always cuts out, and now in the last few weeks i have noticed that some days the passenger side does not work at all, and as of a week ago i have not heard them work once. i have rebuilt every other audio aspect of my truck myself so i trust everything is in working order as i have checked all connections and the like. so i am thinking that since these speakers are at least 9 years old it might be a good idea to replace them anyway... i have always been impressed with the alpine type-r speakers, and am definitely considering the alpine SPR-60C door speaker component set even though it runs about $200.00.... my only concern is will these speakers play properly in my truck given an alpine MRP-F300 amplifier that puts out 50WX4 RMS @ 4 ohms 75WX4 RMS @ 2 ohms (given 14.4V) the speakers themselves are 110W RMS each... the last thing i want is to spend money on great speakers but have them not perform optimally due to incorrect power input. is this enough power or should i be looking at a different set of speakers or even..... a bigger amp (last resort)? thanks

text: I just bought a 2004 Silverado ext cab, 6' bed, v6, rwd. It has a set of Goodyear Eagle GT ll p285/50p20 tires on it with a set of Eagle Alloy rims. I believe it has a 2" dropped suspension. The problem is the right tire is rubbing the anti sway bar whenever I turn to the left. Its pretty annoying and I don't want it to wear the tire out. What options due I have to get this tire to stop rubbing? I want to lift the truck but not really sure what my options are since its rear wheel drive. Any help would greatly be appreciated .

Halfback was the position that generated the most vigorous debate among the All Black selectors as they picked their team to play Wales, with Aaron Smith getting the nod but with a clear message Piri Weepu is not far behind.
There was also discussion about lock and blindside before head coach Steve Hansen and his assistant Ian Foster opted to pick a side that would have to be judged as being devoid of surprises. Liam Messam retains his place at blindside while the ball-carrying grunt of Luke Romano is preferred to the all-round offering of Sam Whitelock.
"Piri's performance is the one we have been searching for outside probably the Wellington game," said Hansen.
"His performance against Scotland was outstanding and not only did we see his experience, we saw him getting to the breakdown and clearing the ball the way we would like him to. But at the end of the day Aaron has played well all year and we felt he could give us a good start and Piri could come off the bench."
Hansen had been clear long before the squad left for Europe that the tour would effectively be split into two parts: everyone would be given game time in the first two tests with the selection for Wales and England based primarily on form.
By and large, that is reflected in the team named to play in Cardiff on Sunday morning, as despite encouraging performances from the likes of Weepu, Victor Vito, Brodie Retallick and Hosea Gear, the men deemed to be the incumbents also played well enough to merit holding their spots.
It would have been tough on Smith had he been demoted to the bench. He wasn't well enough protected by the forwards in Rome.
Likewise, Romano took the game to the Scots and Messam was industrious against a big Italian pack that needed to be subdued and Keven Mealamu wasn't available due to a mild calf strain. Elsewhere, there was little need for much deliberation - the team pretty much picks itself these days.
Hansen was also conscious of the challenge Wales present. They haven't enjoyed the best of form since June, having lost their last five consecutive tests, but having once coached Wales himself, Hansen knows they have been targeting the All Black fixture.
"We know that Wales have been thinking about this game ever since the semi-final last year," he said.
"I don't think they [Wales] are any different to anyone else - when you are backed into a corner you lose a bit of confidence. Even the great sides lose a lot of confidence. We have heard a lot about how Warren Gatland is coming back but really he's been part of the preparation all the way through so I don't see that as being a big game changer.
"But I think this is the game they have had their eye on and perhaps they have dropped the ball because of that. Maybe they didn't care enough about the other games, but we know that every team that plays us really gets up for it and I don't see Wales being any different."
New Zealand team to play Wales, Sunday November 25, 6.15am.
Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Daniel Carter, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw, Liam Messam, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Andrew Hore, Tony Woodcock.

USA Today fact-checks Obama's town-hall assertions
posted at 11:36 am on August 12, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
They're not terribly enthusiastic about it, but USA Today corrects the record — in a sidebar — on a number of assertions made by Barack Obama yesterday at his Portsmouth, NH forum. They leave out the biggest whopper, which is Obama's claim that he has never favored single-payer health-care systems, but they do catch a couple of other big fibs, including Obama's snow job on AARP endorsement. One of the best catches from USA Today concerns Medicare Advantage, about which Obama has lied for over two years:
"Insurance companies basically get $177 billion of taxpayer money to provide services that Medicare already provides."
About 10.2 million Medicare recipients are in Medicare Advantage. Under that program, the government pays insurers a set amount per Medicare beneficiary. Obama ridiculed it as costly and redundant, but the plan provides additional benefits, such as vision, dental and hearing, to seniors and helps coordinate health care for those with chronic conditions, says Robert Zirkelbach at the trade association, America's Health Insurance Plans.
In fact, Medicare Advantage is a Godsend for those trapped within the Medicare system. Recipients pay substantial monthly premiums, but the plan allows for better provider payments, which keep providers from locking patients out of their clinics. The extended insurance provides coverage for services which Medicare ignores, and some create a co-payment system rather than the 60/40 system Medicare gives seniors and the disabled in practice.
How do I know this? The First Mate has Medicare Advantage, and we saw what Medicare did before we got the supplemental coverage. It's a disaster for anyone needing anything more than just maintenance care.
"Under the reform we're proposing, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."
Not necessarily. In an analysis of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee bill, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that 10 million workers could lose employer-provided benefits and would have to find other insurance.
Some analyses put that number much higher — as high as 83 million. Obama insists on making this argument despite all evidence to the contrary, especially since businesses control insurance options for most people in the US. If Obama makes it attractive for businesses to dump their employees into a public plan, then most people won't be able to keep their existing plans. And thanks to ObamaCare, they won't have many options to find private insurance, either.
"The rumor that's been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for 'death panels' that will basically pull the plug on Grandma. … (T)he intention. .. was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they're ready, on their own terms. … (O)ne of the chief sponsors of this bill originally was a Republican … (Sen.) Johnny Isakson from Georgia."
Isakson issued a press release saying Obama misused his name. A provision he attached to a Senate health care bill would allow seniors to obtain help in formulating a living will something Isakson said is different from House language. The House bill would require Medicare to pay for end-of-life counseling sessions, but it would not mandate that anyone use the benefit.
The media had a field day with this yesterday, using Isakson as a bat with which beat conservative critics, but it never occurred to the layers of fact-checkers and editors that a Senator would have had nothing to do with a clause in a House bill. In fact, Isakson does support making end-of-life planning available, but doesn't support the mandate for it that exists in Section 1233 of the House bill.
Kudos to USA Today for doing a good job of fact-checking, even if they couldn't devote a separate article to it. (via QandO)

DriverGuide.com - Using DriverGuide's Installer
DriverGuide's installer software (Windows only) simplifies the driver installation process. It safely downloads and verifies your driver and then assists in the installation of it.
You may notice that the file size of the installer software is much smaller than the file size of your actual driver. The reason is that first the installer setup file is downloaded, and then the installer software does the work of fetching your driver from our fastest download server.
The installer setup file has been certified safe by leading-class virus and malware scanners.
Sometimes anti-virus software can report false positives. If this happens to you, we encourage you to submit the file you download to VirusTotal (a free, independent service which identifies malicious content) where you will see dozens of other anti-virus scanners report the file is perfectly safe.
The installer setup file may include a purely optional advertising offer which you are free to decline. We only work with trusted advertising partners.
Note: Windows only. Mobile, Mac OS and Linux users can choose other download options by deselecting the installer checkbox below the download button.
