It's Not the Man, It's the Movement
Posted on Jul 2, 2008
By Amy Goodman
I was on a panel at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado this week when Newsweek's Jonathan Alter asked me, "Is Obama a sellout?" The question isn't whether he is a sellout or not—it's about what demands are made by grass-roots social movements of those who would represent them. The question is, who are these candidates responding to, answering to?
Richard Nixon's campaign strategy was to run in the primaries to the right, then move to the center in the general election. Bill Clinton's strategy was called "triangulation," navigating to a political "Third Way" to please moderates and undecided voters. This past week, Barack Obama has made some signal policy changes that suggest he might be doing something similar. Will it work for him?
Take the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, for example. A Dec. 17, 2007, press release from Obama's Senate office read: "Senator Obama unequivocally opposes giving retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies and has cosponsored Senator Dodd's efforts to remove that provision from the FISA bill. Granting such immunity undermines the constitutional protections Americans trust the Congress to protect. Senator Obama supports a filibuster of this bill, and strongly urges others to do the same." Six months later, he supports immunity for the companies that spied on Americans.
I asked Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., about Obama's position on the FISA bill. He told me: "Wrong vote. Regrettable. Many Democrats will do this. We should be standing up for the Constitution. When Sen. Obama is president, he will, I'm sure, work to fix some of this, but it's going to be a lot easier to prevent it now than to try to fix it later."
Feingold and Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., are planning on filibustering the bill. It will take 60 senators to overcome their filibuster. It looks like Obama will be one of them. Disappointment with Obama's FISA position is not limited to his senatorial colleagues. On Obama's own campaign Web site, bloggers are voicing strident opposition to his FISA position. At the time of this writing, an online group on Obama's site had more than 10,000 members and was growing fast. The group's profile reads: "Senator Obama—we are a proud group of your supporters who believe in your call for hope and a new kind of politics. Please reject the politics of fear on national security, vote against this bill and lead other Democrats to do the same!"
Square, Site wide
In a Jan. 21, 2008, primary debate, Obama called the North American Free Trade Agreement "a mistake" and "an enormous problem." He recently told Fortune magazine, "Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified ... my core position has never changed ... I've always been a proponent of free trade." This, after the primary-campaign scandal of the alleged meeting between Obama economic adviser Austan Goolsbee and a member of the Canadian consulate. A Canadian memo describing the meeting suggested Obama was generally satisfied with NAFTA. Goolsbee described the accounts as inaccurate. Now people are beginning to question Obama's genuine opposition to NAFTA and "free trade."
Then there is the floating of potential vice presidential candidates. Jonathan Capehart of The Washington Post was on the Aspen panel and noted that he has been receiving e-mails from gay men who angrily oppose former Sen. Sam Nunn as an Obama running mate. They can't forget Nunn's key role in shaping "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which prohibited gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the military. The e-mails trickled up, prompting the writing of an influential Capehart column, "Don't Ask Nunn."
It may be the strategy of the Obama campaign to run to the middle, to attract the independents, the undecided. But he should look carefully at the lessons of the 2004 Kerry campaign. John Kerry made similar calculations, not wanting to appear weak on the war in Iraq. Uninspired, people stayed home. There are millions who care about the issues from which Obama is distancing himself, from FISA to gun control to gay rights to free trade to the death penalty. Rather than staying home, they should recall the words of Frederick Douglass: "Power concedes nothing without a demand."

Beerdoctor—Thanks for reminding everyone on this thread that "determined minorities" HAVE managed to make the tough changes. Long ago I was one of those determined people registering voters down South—which for the record was not and is not the exclusively racially-bigoted region in the U.S. Stereotyping cuts both ways. But I digress. What is problematic is that voter registration could probably never have succeeded without the active support of the executive branch—e.g., RFK's pushiness as attorney general, as well as LBJ's perception that in addition to the Civil Rights Act a Voting Rights Act was necessary. And as hard as it may be to accept, it was the FBI and its infiltrators that broke the back of the KKK. So however determined we are, we still need a good President, and a smart President, to get this country turned around.
The dilemma of course is that neither of the two main party candidates fill the bill. And so we are left with the choice of voting (again) for the lesser of two evils, or casting a vote of conscience with the result of putting the greater evil in office.
The only solution (beyond a major revamping of the election system, and breaking the two-party monopoly so that other parties have a chance to be heard and considered equally in the primaries) I can see is for all of us to let Obama know just how disgusted we are with his apparent duplicity—which of course he is now trying to explain away but can't because the definition of duplicity is just as straightforward as the definition of "is"—and that if he does not speak truth to the people, those of us who believed he could make a difference and supported him are damned sure not going to vote for him.
It IS possible for a politician to be straightforward and follow through. But it's easier when there are more than two parties that actually have a chance to get elected, under a system where parties who draw the most votes can jockey and form coalitions, as in Israel for example. I know a lot of you are not exactly fans of Israel, but that system does work. The costs, of course, are constant arguments and disagreements and inconveniences in the Knesset, but in the end the competing interests are heard, have a piece of the power in proportion to their support from the people who, in turn, project their voices by voting for the party that best reflects and actively advocates their specific visions.
Meanwhile, until a perfect system emerges, the best we can do is let Obama know that what we believe he stood for is so important to us that if he betrays the principles he stated, he's not going to get our votes on election day. We have to communicate this immediately, before the convention and certainly before the general election campaigning is so far underway that it's too late for him to change any of the statements he's conveying to the voters at large.
If he takes us, and his own principles, seriously, then great. If not, well, I guess we'll each have to decide how seriously we take our own ideas. Thoughts have consequences.

Another Republican appointment to the Supreme Court might indeed be a disaster, but I'm not sure that's enough of a reason to vote for an out-and-out liar. Bad Democrats aren't any better than bad Repubicans, and there is absolutely no way of knowing who Obama would put up there. For that matter, there's no way of knowing what an appointee will do once he's on the court. Republican hand-picked Earl Warren was certainly a surprise to his old boys' club.
However the youth of the recent appointments is something to worry about. Have to think on this a bit.

Jersey Girl, could not agree more with everything you said, from-the-get-go Orwellian mantra to Paul Krugman's progressive chops.
Two points:
1)If we are really going to say ENOUGH and vote for Nader or McKinney, shouldn't we decide which ONE of them so we make the most impact? And thereby manage to have at least some clout in D.C.?
2)If progressives abandon Obama we do run the risk of electing McCain. I don't think the race is going to be the walkaway for Obama some people seem to think. Truthfully, I think the main difference between McCain and Obama is their respective positions on Bush's tax cuts for Bush's base, the upper 1%. That's important, but maybe not important enough to settle for the elite schmucks we've been settling for so long. Now if Obama was pushing decent health and economic issues I might not want to risk it because there are so many people in such great need right now that I wouldn't want to risk their wellbeing, as precarious as it is.

Maani, Max Shields and Leefeller, thanks for responding to Cyrena's diatribe re my posted comments so I don't have to. (I agree it makes her look silly, and am glad to hear that someone else appreciates Paul Krugman, whose biggest fan is my radical progressive husband, farther left than me.)
1)If you don't want a hawk you haven't been listening to Obama lately. I'm beginning to wonder if he's not more hawkish than bomb-bomb-bomb,bomb-bomb-Iran McCain.
2)My name's Sepharad, not "Shepard". "Sepharad" is Hebrew for "Al Andalus" as well as "Tree of Life." Because I know how your mind works I must explain that I support the existence of the state of Israel (though would prefer the old secular-Zionist-Socialist-populist vision). I and my family there, all in the peace movement yet in despair post-Gaza and Hezbollah, have pretty much given up any hopes for peaceful coexistence. But even they, and I, don't want anyone to bomb Iran. An Iranian friend recently took his son to Iran to show him the history on the ground and enroll him for graduate studies. On returning, he said he'd changed his mind because his beloved country is being run by lunatics. I love Israel, Ahmadinejad wants to destroy it, and I would be very happy to see him and his Hezbollah buddies vanish from the face of the earth. Even so, the WORST thing to do to a nation with a middle-class full of cultured, intelligent people all under the reign of fundamentalist death-loving fascists is to bomb or invade it. (Unless your goal is to convince the smart Iranians that their daft president and the mullahs were right all along.) Unfortunately, I'm afraid we're going to have to somehow discourage Obama as well as McCain and Bush* in that regard, and the only way to do that is for the people who support Obama to criticize his incipient hawkishness BEFORE he's elected. (*Seymour Hersch does not see Bush as a lame-duck President but as an aggressive guy who will put us into Iran if there is the slightest doubt in his own mind that the next guy in the Oval Office wouldn't get on with it.)

Actually Adams and several other Federalists believed the US would revert to Monarchy I don't think they thought it would take this long.
Most US citizens (not all, just most) need some "leader" "king" "nanny" to change their diapers, and sing them to sleep at night. They want the government to do everything for them, in return they will give up freedon, responsibility to do anything on their own, and the hassel of having to tell "employees" that they have over-steped their bounds.
It is for this reason, I initally thought Obama would be (just slightly) better than the other offerings Obama's health care plan was not "mandatory" I took this to mean that he believed people should be allowed to "choose" for themselves… He seems to be way past that now.
This election (which could have changed EVERYTHING has evolved into a useless excercise in futility. Once again the best hope is that "the people" do a Jimmy Stewart and say "we're not going to take this anymore"
I ain't holding my hand on my ass waiting for that occurance.

Help a lonely liberal posting over at Drudge.com, to convince the so called "left" to take their blinders off with respect to Senator Obama. Seems that any criticism of Obama is viewed as coming from the right. Help them understand that Power concedes nothing without a demand, and that criticism of Obama does not equal support of McCain.

Amy Goodman is spot-on, as ever, re Obama, and now you Obamatons are saying she's wrong. The August '07 Atlantic Monthly had a cover article "The Buying and Selling of Barack Obama", the NYTimes Magazine in late '07 ran a piece that clearly revealed his duplicitous tendencies ... and now you're surprised? Kucinich was my first pick, Edwards second, and then I supported Hillary because she supported MANDATED universal health care, and because NYT progressive economist Paul Krugman knocked himself out trying to explain, week after week, why Bambi's health plan and economics generally really sucked, but unfortunately Bambi's weasely tendencies were so obscured by his giant fog of mind-numbing oratory that it left one New Yorker reporter so swept away by the rhetoric that he couldn't remember what Obama actually said, if anything.
The man lies and lies and never shrinks from lying yet again. E.g., he even told AIPAC that he was in favor of a two-state solution with Jerusalem the capital of Israel, then when his Arab American friends complained said that what he had MEANT was that the Jews and Palestinians had to negotiate the status of that city. What is his next act? Donning a yarmulke and tallis while calling Allah's faithful to prayer?
All he has going for him is a great tailor, good looks and the ability to sell more snake oil than any professional carnival barker in history. Much was made in the press of his support from Ted Kennedy and Caroline, whose main distinction has been to marry well, but practically no news stories noted the constant support for Hillary by RFK's activist kids, RFK Jr. and his sister Kerry.
I don't know who I'm going to vote for. It depends on the selection of the candidates' vice presidents and cabinet members and advisors. Oh well. At least the trendy Euros think better of us for running a mixed-race Presidential candidate. But we, our children and grandchildren will have to live in the mess left by our continuing refusal to select candidates who actually have principles.

"you were among those (with Mike Mid-City leading the charge) who suggested that Hillarys vote for the Iraq War resolution was and would be her ultimate downfall"
Actually no, I was the one who believed (it ain't over till it's over) the Democratic establishment (REP-DEM clones) wanted Hill-the-business-shill and would fight for her by hook or by crook no matter what the people said. Although the "war" vote was appauling, it was never my primary, secondary or tirshery reson for opposing the corporate whore.
Her advocacy of a pardon for the terrorists who bombed my father's office building was the largest factor in my decission that business-woman wasn't fit to be president. Her work on behalf to Tyson figured strongly; How can "working people" support someone who fights for the chicken-packing indrustry? Her chronic lie about being "pro-children" figgered in my process. She worked on CDF's board for less than one year, and couldn't even get "her friend" Marian Wright Edelman to endorse her. Her stance on outsourcing, her NAFTA (for or against depending on the audiance) her approval of Bill Gates call for unlimited H-1b Visas, all made me feel she was working for some other entity…surly NOT the US working citizen…
Would Obama be better… not much, but he was a useful vehicle to slow down the Clinton Machine… You'll remember I refered to him (during the primary season) as "Token"
You seem to forget that I am not a "supporter" of any of these sub-standard candidates.
By Conservative Yankee, July 5, 2008 at 4:59 am Link to this comment
"if Obama had run in the primary on the positions he is taking NOW, Hillary would have won the primary race."
The business shill got EVERY VOTE which could have possibly gone to her. She was a failure, a loser, and to apologists who believe otherwise I say "prove it"
I disagree with folks here who say The Democrats lose due to this/or/that… The Democrats lose because they are continually rewriting history.

On this Independence day I want to leave this with you all who are thinking of not voting…
Do not dispare or stay away from the polls… join PUMA's, or donedems.com, or JustSayNoDeal.com… you have choices and people who will support you ... let's change the system as to how the DNC nominates their candidates!!! On this Independence day remember the words of Patrick Henry (These are the last two paragraphs of his famous speech):
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitableand let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
SAY: WE will not shut up and sit down!!! We will not JUST GET OVER IT. WE WILL OVERCOME!!!!

Has anyone heard this thug "Rush L." recently. He is against any right wing nuts trying to meet the "liberals" even one third of the way. He represents the conscious, or lack thereof, of the Bushites, and he should be taken seriously. The ideological rigidity of thugs on the right was what solidified their base of brain-washed religious fanatics. It won them the landslide support for the contract on America, from whence all went from bad to worse.
Progressives should refuse to meet the right in any way or shape. We are marginalized because we consider our stand as less worthy of support, lack confidence, and attempt to win at the cost of our proclaimed principles.
I say, yield not an inch. Stop being disappointed with politicians who proclaim allegiance to our values but keep moving to the right. Instead, dis-appoint them. Their pandering to right wing war mongers and fanatics such as death penalty advocates, gun lobby, corporates, health industry, prison cartel, Christian fundamentalists, and AIPAC is more dangerous than that of the neocons.
They know that we should get out of Iraq, completely, no ifs and no buts, today before tomorrow. And yet, they continue provide the thug in chief with blanket financial, and even moral support for his continuing crimes. They argue that this was, is, and will always be an immoral war, and in the same breath, they talk about winning the war, and even expanding it to Iran. What a shame. They know that we need to impeach the thug in chief and try his cohort, yet they take it off the table and marginalize the efforts of the only true liberal among them. And in all of this they had our help. They compromised, but in fact, we taught them how to when we laughed Mike Gravel off, dismissed Kucinich, called Ralph Nader names, and as good girls and boys voted for Hillary and/or Obama, . We now reap what we sow.

Looks like Obama won the nomination by doing a better job of pretending to be what the left wanted. How many times do we still have to hear "he can't do anything unless he is elected?" He won't do anything if he _is_ elected.
The purpose of the Democratic Party is to prevent anyone from defeating the Republican agenda.

"Catholic Charities has been providing a multitude of social services for a very long time..more than any other faith based religious organization does, and they dont use tax-payer dollars for it."
This is a misstatement. Having worked at Cardinal McCloskey home and School in White Plains New York, and St. Ann's Home in Methuen Massachusetts (both under the "Catholic Charities" umbrella) I know that they DO get the largest chunk of their money from taxpayers. The State of New York has a long-term contract with Cardinal McCloskey to provide services to "Children in Need of Services" (called CINS) The Commonwealth of Massachusetts pays St. Ann's by the child, at a "group care rate."
Both these institutions inflict their dogma on clients regardless of faith. The ubiquitous Crosses , and quotes from Bosco, Fitzbach and Savio are everywhere. Nuns (in habit) work for them, and St. Ann's has a 40-foot statue of St. Ann in front of their facility.

So the world will soon get another, Iran-bombing, wire-tapping, god-invoking, American president without too many concerns about campaign funding. Shock! Problem is, if Obama narrows the policy gap until it's just a question of age, race and patriotism, he will get a nasty surprise.

Here, Abu Ali (not his real name) talks about the situation in the city of Falluja, which has been a hotbed of resistance to the US-led occupation.
So much of the rights and aspirations and the work of the Iraqi people has gone to waste from day one of the fall of Baghdad.
Iraqi citizens watch every day as their civilisation is destroyed and their institutions robbed, right under the nose of the occupation.
Immense tragedy awaits our country. This is what we and all lovers of our civilisation feel, regardless of people's opinion of the former regime.
No Iraqi can ever accept his country being robbed and destroyed, regardless of political orientation.
Falluja has paid a huge price for the position it took. And this position is well worth the price we paid. We chose to defend our country.
The first four US armoured vehicles entered Falluja at precisely 1215 on 23 April 2003. I was there, and it was one of the most difficult moments in my entire life. I tried to look away.
It marched to the headquarters of the US forces, was blocked by the Americans, and 17 demonstrators were martyred. This was the first real confrontation with the occupation in Falluja.
On the second day, demonstrators protested about what had happened the day before, and again US troops opened fire and three demonstrators were martyred.
Preparation for confrontation began.
I was a member of the Falluja local assembly, formed after the fall of Baghdad. I was one of 25 senior personalities in the assembly which managed things until October or November of 2003.
We warned the occupation not to go too far in their mistakes. We said the reaction would get bigger. Stop your mistakes, we told them.
They only heard the sound of bullets.
'Under siege'
The people of Falluja have the honour of leading the national resistance against the occupation, and this goes on today.
Falluja is now under siege. Entering it is very difficult. You need documents from the Americans to the effect that you are from Falluja, and it could take two hours just to get in.
Electricity is on for two or three hours a day. There is no political life. Demonstrations are not allowed. You need the approval of the Americans and the government for any meeting or conference or public meeting.
There is a daily military confrontation. I feel threatened only by the occupation and Iraqi security forces, not by the resistance.
I have five children. I used to work in trade. Ours is a well-off family, historically. Now, because of the bad situation, I'm working as a school teacher again.
Any minute, they might raid our homes. The whole house would be asleep, and they'd shout: "Inspection", and just break down the doors.

HONG KONG, July 7 (Xinhua) -- An earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale jolted the Kermadec Islands region of New Zealand at 1903 GMT on Wednesday (07:03 New Zealand local time on Thursday), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake was centered 161 km east of Raoul Island of the Kermadec Islands, which is some 920 km south of Tonga. The epicenter was at a depth of 20 km.
No damages have been reported so far.
The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has issued a non- expanding regional tsunami warning for the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand and the Pacific nation of Tonga.
"This tsunami may have been destructive along coastlines of the region near the earthquake epicenter. Authorities in the region should take appropriate action in response to this possibility," the Center said in a statement.
New Zealand's Civil Defense has issued a tsunami warning for New Zealand's Northland, Bay of Plenty, East Coast and Hawkes Bay.
The National Crisis Management Center has been activated and Civil Defense said the first wave to arrive will reach New Zealand at 8.52 a.m. on Thursday.
Civil Defense said people in coastal areas should stay off the beaches, stay out of the water and not go sightseeing.
A wave of between 60 cm and 1 meter have been detected at Raoul Island.
Civil Defense said it is not expecting a wall of water but is concerned about strong currents in coastal areas.
East Cape will be the first place to see the wave at about 8.52 a.m., North Cape at 8.54 a.m. and Gisborne at 8.59 a.m. It is expected to arrive in Auckland at about 10 a.m.
The first wave may not be the largest. Waves will continue for several hours.
The Kermadec Islands, which are often rocked by severe quakes, have no permanent population. Only a small New Zealand Department of Conservation team live on Raoul island.

Hangin' with Mom at South Park Abbey
Wings smoked and fried, 4-buck beers, Skerry Pickles...
Chad Deal 6:30 p.m., May 17
The poet Rumi referred to "the place where everything is music." Mamak Khadem, a classically trained Persian singer who has studied her art in both Iran and her adopted United States, helps keep that place in Iranian culture alive, vital, and growing. In her recent album Jostojoo (Forever Seeking), Mamak Khadem continues her exploration of Persian poetry set to carefully chosen melodies from her culture's far-reaching folk and classical repertoire.

This information will help you manage nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy treatment.
Chemotherapy can irritate the areas of your brain that control nausea as well as the lining of your mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines. Nausea and vomiting can also be caused by stress or just the thought of having chemotherapy.
It is important to manage nausea because it can keep you from eating and drinking. When you don't eat or drink enough, your body doesn't get the vitamins and nutrients you need for energy and to heal.
If you experience nausea and vomiting during your chemotherapy treatment, your healthcare provider will give you medication that can help prevent or control it. These medications may be used before, at the time of, or after your chemotherapy. If you're given a prescription for medication to take at home, take it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. You may have been told to take it on a regular schedule, even if you are not feeling nauseous. Or, you may have been told to take it as soon as you feel nauseous. In either case, take it on time and don't wait.
Medications work differently for different people. If the medication you are taking isn't controlling your nausea and vomiting, tell your healthcare provider. You may need to try a different medication or take more than one kind to feel better. Your healthcare provider will work with you to find the medication that works best for you.
Medication Schedule
- Dexamethasone (Decadron) 4 milligram (mg) tablet
- Take __________ tablets (a total of __________ mg), once per day, after breakfast
- _____________________________________
- _____________________________________
Eating and Drinking
- Drink at least 8 to 10 (8-ounce) glasses of liquids per day. Drink slowly and in small amounts at least 1 hour before or after you eat.
- Try drinking cool, clear, unsweetened fruit juices or light-colored sodas that have lost their fizz.
- Choose drinks that don't have caffeine, which can make you dehydrated.
- Eat small, frequent meals.
- Avoid eating foods that give off an odor and are fried, greasy, creamy, rich, or spicy.
- Eat your meals slowly and at room temperature or cold. This will help if you are bothered by strong smells. Odors from cooking or hot meals can make you nauseous.
- Chew your food well and sit upright for 2 hours after eating. This can help with digestion.
- Try eating dry foods, such as crackers, cereal, or toast before getting out of bed in the morning. This can prevent nausea or dry heaves.
- Suck on hard candy, such as mints or tart candies.
- Eat a light meal before your chemotherapy treatment.
- Be sure to brush your teeth and keep your mouth clean. Rinse out your mouth after vomiting.
- Ask your healthcare provider to schedule an appointment for you with a dietitian. A dietitian can help you maintain your nutrition and eat well during your treatment.
Relaxation Methods
Practice relaxation methods, such as
Listening to music
Deep breathing exercises
Applying a damp washcloth to your forehead or the back of your neck
Complementary Therapies
- Try acupressure, which is a healing practice that uses finger pressure to help relieve muscle tension and increase blood circulation. It can also help relieve nausea and vomiting. Ask your healthcare provider for the resource Acupressure for Nausea and Vomiting, which can teach you how to do acupressure on yourself.
- Contact Memorial Sloan Kettering's (MSK) Integrative Medicine Service at 646-888-0800 for information about complementary therapies (such as acupuncture, massage, and music therapy) to help you relax and control your nausea and vomiting.
Call Your Healthcare Provider if You:
- Vomit 3 to 5 times within a 24-hour period
- Take your medication and still feel nauseous
- Have any questions or concerns

Address: Abbey Row, Malmesbury, Wiltshire SN16 0AG.
Tel: 01666 822344.
Website: theoldbell.com.
First impressions: Felt like we should be arriving in a coach and horses. The Old Bell is reputedly England's oldest purpose-built hotel (dating back to 1220), and stands beside the lovely bulk of Malmesbury Abbey to create a quintessentially English scene.
What are the rooms like? Traditional mixed with modern. Each room is individually furnished with antique furniture, while DVD players and Sky TV provide the 21st-century touch. The view of the abbey and picturesque streets of the town was an added bonus.
The bed test: We had a snug four-poster piled high with pillows and cushions, and draped with a plump duvet and soft Egyptian cotton sheets. We were woken by the not unpleasant peal of the abbey's bells.
The bathroom: Solid, traditional English bathroom furniture and fittings which are plain but efficient.
The restaurant: Tasty traditional dishes with a contemporary twist are prepared by chef Tom Rains, who was poached from Mosimann's in London, all impeccably served by friendly staff.
The bar: A log fire and deep armchairs and sofas make an ideal after-dinner-drinks venue, or you can hide away in the warren of additional lounges that run off the main entrance.
What is there to do nearby? Stroll around Malmesbury's attractive streets and visit the abbey (the town was once the capital of England and home of the last person to be eaten by a tiger in England - honest!); walk in the Cotswolds; spend a day in nearby Bath; visit the ancient prehistoric sites of Stonehenge and Avebury.
How much? Doubles from £110 per night.

Here it is! (lots of pics)
The dress is here! So, I'll do a review and post some pics.
Dressilyme was great to work with. They were quick to reply to emails. I only had one instance where I didn't get a reply right away, but it all worked out. Super fast turn around time, yes, it was double what the website quoted, BUT with all the lace and beadwork, a one month and change turn time is not bad. I ordered Feb 25 and received the dress April 13. Finally, I am SUPER pleased with the dress. It fits perfect. The quality is terrific. The seams are all nice and tight, no loose ends or snags, no frays, very even. The fabric is just like that in the stores I was looking at, feels wonderful. The beading adds just the right sparkle. And, for those wondering about the ivory... I'm super picky on the ivory shades, and I think this is my favorite I've ever seen. Looks like a warm glowy white. I would go through Dressilyme again in a heartbeat! The dress was exactly as expected.
And now for the good stuff. Pictures! These were all taken with my phone. Once I get access to a real camera and have someone able to help me get into the dress, I'll get better ones.
the package... it was a bit damaged, but the dress was OK.
all unwrapped... how DO the fold it so small? (forgive my scary white leg)
inside of the bodice. I was impressed with the amount of boning.
a closeup of one of the bones.
closeup of the lace and beading on the bodice... sorry for the blur
the lace on the hem, you can also see the tulle
the best I could get the train while I had it on. Naughty kitty.
dress hanging from the front... again, naughty kitty
and from the back.

Spring Trap (Revision 338)
Edit Page Last Edit:
The Spring Trap is a powerful trap but in an indirect way. Although it does not do any damage, it launches enemies off into the distance and if they fall off the map it will be a instant kill. This makes the Spring Trap situational, but when it can be used, it excels at its job. It should only be placed in areas that it has a clear line of sight on a large drop off the map so that all enemies launched will die immediately.

Is it possible we dont see God working in mighty ways because we dont ask him to work in mighty ways? Throughout history, God has used revival to build and renew his church. God-Sized Vision challenges us to pray expectantly to see his work in our own day. God can bring revival again to our community, our country, and our world. Our faith grows stronger when we learn how God worked in the past. The historical stories of worldwide revivals in this book enlarge our hearts and expand our minds as we see God at work in human history with a power that is still available to the faithful today. Here scholars Collin Hansen and John Woodbridge recount the fascinating details of world-changing revivals, beginning with biblical events and continuing through the Reformation, the Great Awakenings, the Welsh and Korean revivals, the East Africa Revival of the 1930s, and more recent revivals in North America and China. What did these revivals have in common? How can we prepare forand expectrevival in our own culture? With accessible language and gripping examples, Hansen and Woodbridge explore these questions and more, strengthening our understanding of Gods work while deepening our faith in the possibility of revivalright where we are.

Let me know if u get an answer. I have a 05 CTS with the 3.6 liter
Re: Supercharger for 3.6 cts
No. Not a top-mount one at least. I believe RX Performance has a front mount, pro-charger type unit set up for the LLT... but everything should bolt up the same to the LY7.
RX also makes a twin turbo set-up for the LFX Camaro that could probably be made to work with the LY7 with a little work.
There are turbo kits for the CTS-V that mount the turbos in the back, in place of the mufflers, and pipe everything up front to the intake, all you would have to do is change the intake end so it mates your engine up front (and install a CTS-V exhaust, which you should do anyways). And probably use smaller turbos... these kits are made for a six liter V8!
You will need, or should heavily consider, MACE Engineering cams and connecting rods, and RX Performance pistons. These parts have all been redesigned to be stronger to handle boost. The LY7 is built like a tank, but when you start cramming 20+psi into it, anything not designed for that is bound to fail.

Newbie feature helmer Dave Green (Echo) has signed on to direct IDW graphic novel adaptation Lore for Warner Bros. The studio won a bidding war for the project last year with Dwayne Johnson attached to star. The pc, about a secret order tasked with defending the world against creatures thought to be mythological, had Barry Sonnenfeld in talks to direct last fall. Sonnenfeld has exited the directors chair but will be credited as exec producer.
Warners Taps Dave Green To Direct 'Lore'
11 Comments
Andrew Lazar is the man! Kicking ass and taking names!
That kids has mad skills and will Dona great job. Congrats.
The staff meeting video guy with the movie that got dumped?
Odds that Sonnenfeld will move directly onto another Men in Black?
(Seeing as Sony hired a writer for it back in May.)
Dave is a badass mofo.
I'm sorry…what just happened? Another big expensive effects movie has been handed to a neophyte director? One whose movie got dumped? How is this a sound idea, WB?
How did his movie get dumped? Relativity is releasing it on 3000 screens next year, put more money into it because they believe it's a hit. Have heard it's a solid Amblin-style adventure from multiple sources with no skin in the game.
Troll no care for facts! Troll angry!
He'll kill it! Go Dave!
yay dave green!
The concern was budget now they feel they can control new director. Now instead of one very smart and savy filmmaker, they will have 10 producers trying everything to cajole a new director to go in a certain direction. This conflict provides for a budget to explode out of control. Big Mistake Boys
The original graphic novel that this was based on barely had a story to speak of; it was just a showcase for the art. And there wasn't anyone in it who looked like The Rock. And they never actually finished the story! Interested to see how this turns out. I want whoever who sold this crap to the movies on my team, stat.

Fishko Files

Solo performing is an art like no other. It brings with it the tension of being the only one on stage, as well as the luxury of total artistic control. One solo stage artist is using that control to communicate his strong ideas to audiences via a wild cast of characters -- and Sara Fishko tried to get to know him.

First, Thanks Dan, for the note re getting Thymol thru Wal-Mart. This tells us that just about any pharmacy could order it for us, and it will be USP quality.
Today I tried to find an ABJ so that I could read Dr. R's article. The only mag distributor in Tulsa said they did not handle it.
Called the biggest bookstore/mag sales place in Tulsa, never heard of it.
Called the Tulsa public library ref desk. They do not subscribe and have none, would order the article for me from one of the libraries around the country that did have it but I would need to pay $40 for a library card as I did not live in Tulsa.
Called the Muskogee, Ok public library and nice lady there told me they did not have it but hold on, she would get on the computer and see if she could find it. Oops, why do we come up with a religious article when I punch in Am Bee Journal? Let me try again. About that time the thunderstorm knocks her off the air.
In about l5 minutes she calls back to say she has found the article, copied it and I can pick it up for $1.40 copying cost. I say a big THANK YOU and bundle my wife into the auto headed for Muskogee, about l5 miles away.
Out the driveway and notice that the creek next to the house is almost out of its banks. Water over the road two places in the 3/4 mile to the first turn, then over the road several other places before we get to the main highway.
Hah! I'm chicken. If the water comes up another two feet in my creek it blocks the foot of my drive. I mosey thru the little town where our road comes to the highway, head West to high ground and come home the back way. Creek up about a foot. In less than half an hour it is over my drive. Right now it is about two feet up on the pipe holding my mail box at the edge of the road, not the lowest point there.
I called the nice lady and told her I would pick up the article tomorrow.

When Steinbrenner takes the field Friday for one of the biggest games in school history, the Warriors won't have their head coach to lead them.
The Florida High School Athletic Association has suspended Warriors football coach Andres Perez-Reinaldo for one game following his ejection from last week's win over Freedom, the FHSAA said Monday evening.
Perez-Reinaldo was flagged twice for unsportsmanlike conduct during the final 2:01 of his team's 17-15 victory, according to the officials' report provided to the Times by the FHSAA.
The coach ran onto the field, past the numbers to dispute one call. Nine seconds later, referees gave him a second penalty for "disrespectfully addressing a game official" and ejected him, according to the report.
The level-one unsportsmanlike conduct ruling carries a one-game suspension.
The Warriors (3-5, 2-2) travel to Gaither (4-4, 3-1) on Friday in a crucial Class 7A, District 7 matchup. If Steinbrenner wins and Sickles beats Tampa Bay Tech, the Warriors, TBT and Gaither will be in a three-way tiebreaker for the No. 2 position in the district, keeping Steinbrenner's hopes alive for its first playoff appearance in program history.
Perez-Reinaldo must complete a six-hour online course before he is eligible to return. The FHSAA also fined Steinbrenner $100, according to a letter from the FHSAA to the school. The school can appeal the association's rulings.
Perez-Reinaldo, who is in his second season as head coach, did not return a phone message left Monday evening.

Quarterback Tom Brady clearly has plenty to choose from in the coming weeks as he strives to continue to keep the Patriots among the highest scoring teams in the NFL.
The challenge begins Sunday afternoon in Foxborough against the 4-1 Ravens. Baltimore faces the unknown of a New England offense without Moss, something that's not been seen since 2006.
The guy facing the most pressure may be Wes Welker -- New England's other All-Pro pass catcher. The game's ultimate slot machine over the past three-plus seasons, still coming back from offseason reconstructive knee surgery, bumps up to become the Patriots' No. 1 option.
Contrary to popular opinion, Welker has faced a lot of double coverage in the past. In fact, his current coach employed that strategy against him during a 2006 game with Miami when Welker was toiling for the Dolphins.
Bill Belichick opted to make Welker the focus of his secondary's attention during the second half of the Patriots' 20-10 Week 5 win over Miami after watching his troops get torched to the tune of seven catches for 67 yards during the opening 30 minutes. Having seen enough, Belichick chose to double Welker, who wound up making just two more grabs for 10 yards. The Dolphins were blanked after intermission.
The Patriots hope that wasn't an indication of what to expect from their offense now.
Welker is no longer the largely anonymous figure he was in 2006. Instead, he's attempting to join former Indianapolis star Marvin Harrison as just the second receiver in NFL history to post four consecutive seasons of 100 catches or more.
He's been to a pair of Pro Bowls in his three years in New England, topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark in all three seasons and has made more catches than anyone in football over that time. Welker also made an impressive return from a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee suffered in the regular-season finale in Houston last year. He has made 26 catches over the first four games, putting him on pace for yet another 100-plus-catch season.
But there's one thing he's never done as a Patriot, and that's play a game without Randy Moss lined up somewhere in the same offense. And that fact has some concerned about the offense's viability going forward.
While Welker certainly has more experience dealing with extra attention based on his incredible production playing with Tom Brady, he's sure to see a whole lot more for the remainder of the 2010 campaign. The Patriots offense was the best in football over the season's first month, leading the NFL with 131 points and with 32.8 points per game.
But all of that was done with Moss as part of the equation.
When asked if he believed his job would be more difficult without Moss, the wideout did his best to alleviate any fears.
|Patriots TE A. Hernandez makes tough catches in traffic. (AP Photo)
Now they must find a way to keep the momentum going without the luxury of Moss occupying the thoughts and fears of opposing secondaries and defensive coordinators. Even at his advanced age, and despite his modest production (nine catches, 139 yards, three TDs), Moss still commanded extra attention from most teams. That focus allowed guys like Welker and rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez extra room to breathe in the underneath zones, an area where Brady has proven to be dominant throughout his illustrious career.
"Obviously Randy's a great deep threat and you always have to account for him," Welker said. "But at the same time, it's about beating man coverage and getting open, and that's the way it is. Definitely I've benefited from playing with Randy, and I'm going to benefit from playing with these guys, too."
One of those guys is Hernandez, who's been remarkable thus far with 18 catches for 240 yards while showing an uncanny knack for picking up big yards after the catch, constantly crediting Moss with providing him the space to operate due to his deep threat.
The question the Patriots must find the answer to now is: Who is going to serve in that role in Moss' absence?
While Brandon Tate, the starter opposite Moss in the first four games, could very well switch sides and occupy Moss' position, the answer to the above question may wind up being Hernandez. Although Tate has the speed to potentially serve as a deep threat, Hernandez has the ability to do more damage. He's already shown he can line up in a variety of spots -- outside, in the slot, tight to the formation, even in the backfield -- and be effective. He could very well wind up being the team's No. 2 target behind Welker as the season unfolds.
"Randy obviously brought a deep presence to him," Welker said. "Things may change a little bit, but we have some fast guys that can definitely go deep and stretch the field. Randy was one of the best in the game doing that, but we just have to collectively go out there and work hard and play hard and do everything we need to do to try to make up for him."

But the Branch of 2005 isn't walking through the Gillette Stadium locker room door.
One safe bet for the passing game is that Brady will find his share of open targets. Without the temptation of throwing it deep to one of the game's all-time greatest big-play threats, he'll likely return to his roots by spreading the ball effectively and utilizing the short passing game that made him famous in the first place.
One of the more underrated aspects of the Patriots' early-season offensive success was the running of BenJarvus Green-Ellis. With Fred Taylor sidelined by a toe injury, Green-Ellis emerged as the lead back and produced. He carried 47 times, including 16 in each of the last two games, and totaled 215 yards (4.6-yard average) and a pair of touchdowns.
So how might Moss' absence affect Green-Ellis' ability to continue that kind of production?
"I'm not sure. I've never played without him," Green-Ellis said. "I can't tell you how it's going to be without him because I haven't experienced that yet."
That's something he has in common with virtually every member of the offense.

You know summer's almost here when the patriots conductor old TA is when Tom Brady gets. Re involved with his labor of love the best buddies challenge both of those things are run up upon us joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T forgy LTE the quarterback of the during the patriots Tom Brady good morning TB twelve are you. Good morning and the talk to you get elegant as Bob best -- -- and a little bit don't talk a little football first OT gaze with so many wide receivers Tom. And with the desire to have them learn the offense and synchronize them with you what your comfort level right now -- all these new faces in new places. Well it's -- -- quite a few new guys on the roster. Certainly at the receiver tradition. You know almost the entire groups though. As many days of practice -- -- -- it -- opportunity that we can actually get out there and broke bought together. In a competitive environment I think that's where a lot of improvement are so we've only -- unit to track -- You know it's a very competitive position I think there's a lot of positions are very competitive on -- team. You know I'm excited this seat you know at this point the work that we look at how well our. I'm asked a question has probably already been asked you a hundred times will be asked a thousand more photos -- dole looked deal. Well again you're you're at any. You know he's always tell our talents. To watch him out there and and play against him. You know what you -- the ram you very productive. You know it's been fun to work with -- you'd you'd got. He's got it that tenacity to -- -- and that drive in the determination to work ethic or short period and it certainly heated seat belt. Our I -- say he's one of those guys where we've got the more we throw the better we're gonna piece we're trying to. You always kind of talk and communicate. Their district OJ is in -- You know we during the spring a lot and hopefully -- this summer continues leading up to -- -- get as many reps as good as we can together so we're on the same page. Observers who have watched view and Danny play pitch and catch say if he didn't have a number on here remind you very much of Wes Welker in terms of -- style his movement just the way he plays the game would you agree. Whether or similar positions are and you know about the same -- -- -- they've both you know they got. You know very good agility it's hard you know we're so productive for so long I mean it's I think it's an area. Compare any until Weston where -- it would accomplish in his -- here so. Could be -- early -- -- -- -- -- the work I think he's come in early with an open minded understanding of the way that. We -- patriots. You know the way we need to play and and you know Josh is trying to get everyone aren't -- and up to speed with. You know how we're gonna play offense this year -- gonna try to be more consistent we didn't. Last year or so. Are -- any early taken to that a lot all the receivers and all the receivers ever really had like if they're willing that the government work and lists and try to get better. Tom I don't where you were when the news broke the back here around here it was shocking. When Wes Welker signed with Denver when he was replaced by -- -- was it a surprise to you when you found out. Yeah you know things happen at different times didn't you know we're the greatest players of all whether that last -- Uranium being traded from the raiders or red are gonna be a player for the jets and vikings at. Yeah that's happened this today I'm -- that very competitive business and you know nobody. Appreciate your -- more that I did and what he was able to accomplish our scheme but he's gone he's not a good situation where it. You know another great team and you know great quarterbacks though. You know we we all kind of kept it we always well he's one of my best friend so I certainly wish him the best. So that was never report where you were disappointed or even angry that your that you good body was was gone. I mean of course I have feelings -- married. Let you know those feelings are very personal to me and you know are are you say get caught up in you know anger frustration and its board member I don't make sure I don't make that decision -- -- These things are to me so. At some point you gotta realize that things are your control you just got to let go and focus on my job I need to do. You know the game Mubarak -- he -- audit. You know there's only so long you can dwell on the past and at some point you've got to move forward and like I said my job for my team it's -- the best quarterback and not the general manager not the coach did not owner. To try to -- out -- -- -- you know my own competitiveness to the field that you know those guys play it this year Kimberly relied on the edge on the debate about I can. What winning -- and that's obviously the that the best perspective for ago I Q when did you. Reconcile that your mind you're pissed off when when lawyer Malloy was let go correct there as I recall that. But didn't sit well with you but at some point that you worked and all of you mine and you don't. Let it get to you anymore. Yeah I mean -- you know you you care an -- yes there's always you know different side. Every situation and then. You know I did and you know contract negotiation. Have been you know it you're you're all -- -- I think that you control its own attitude your own belief system and I learned that lesson a college you know and you try try to keep -- apply -- knowledge of all it. Arrests in my life it. You know I'm a focus on what I can control and and you know that's my attitude -- I try to bring. This but I try to be a good leader I try to lead by example and you know it could agree offseason that -- would be out there on the field. You know every -- you know with my teammate just fuel we can make a big secret because it. It's in the year -- start at the same place sinners. You are -- or 32 very hopeful teams and you know. You know I think we have a lot to accomplish. Well when you renegotiated and took less money to what extent was there a quid pro quo whether stated probably lied that if I do this. I would hope you would resign west. Wide -- and I don't make you know that's those are my demands are I didn't. You know I -- -- field is competitive it -- as we possibly can and I have all the trust in the world that. You know mister Kraft and arm and a coach Belichick do that so I don't. In other nothing about you know me. You know I don't I don't I don't say that I'm not general manager I can't say you know look I do this you do it it's just. Now that's what my decision was that was kind of you know value proposition for me and I want to be in this. System where you know coach Belichick and the other players that I have been able to play let them. You know I think we are gonna field a competitive team its competitor that's art through offseason conditioning program and third OG eight are so. You know we've been close we're gonna Super Bowl two years ago in the AFC championship. Here and you know I know we have a good team you know it gently guided. -- few more things you know better and you know hopefully it will. Well well lead to more success. Best site told Peter King this week that you're throwing the ball better than ever going meter fourteenth year he said what's different say than a year ago or two years ago why do you feel that way and by the way it's on -- you to -- minute all right -- how you cut may mean there's no longer here many hands in his place Kirk Miller and Tom Brady. -- and adopted its. Well -- You know I'm I think I'm always trying to find ways to improve and just like every player anarchy in the strategy your receiver you're trying to become a better runner. Certainly the quarterback Mike Jarvis says throw the ball with accuracy now with my decision making. And I think that things that you can improve an -- and you know I'm trying to work hard to continually improve those things so. You know my mechanics are important they -- Taliban and they're trying to our -- at W a more efficient over the years that I -- -- and I you know this is going to be upbeat and -- You know I feel like I've made some significant improvement. Are you worried about gronkowski. You know I I think if any injured player you know your ultimate comeback. Fresh and strong and healthy and a -- deal with his situation and -- -- I I hope that it there's unity can be a unity you know I want seek them out there opened the team win it. Treatment and prologue and then. -- his mental toughness and and hit excitement and what he brings to the team you know or are really our match so. When he is the I'll be excited and there have been nice to see you are and can be like where -- -- out there rob out there -- All the other guys -- being injured or you know I've been out there can contribute fully. The team. And we know some guys can get it -- others don't some guys. On the same page with you offensively. Receivers and duck -- and some aren't. How do you know -- and how soon do you know when you're and with a guy like Amador -- Donald Jones or rookie. How quickly we you know if they can grasp all the things that you need them to grasp the effect that will. Bloody. It's a process or no question. I think there are certain players have played with -- give it right away like -- As an example like west as an example like Randy is an example of those guys worked so football Smart. -- You know they know how to play the game they know play that position fanatic you know -- certain looks certain. That type of body language you know they give it to me as -- quarterback spike in interest rates -- -- -- also. You wouldn't say you gave negotiate we haven't figured out. You know I like training camp amid an apple have a pretty good idea. -- outlaw most comfortable where it at all look bloody year. You know you just try to get more comparable -- a place where. You don't have a lot of comfort and you're working hard every -- it looked at comfort consulate. Repetition and practice and certainly the most pressure situation where you are about an hour. -- mean it's so much about medal of -- it's you know it indeed it. -- doing whatever you need to do. To help team where and that. That comes a lot of different shapes and forms that come on the practice field where are you really see where you're in the -- -- the willingness. It has. Did you get out when it mattered most. I find the the year relationship with Tom house -- and former Red Sox pitcher a guy who. Introduced footballs to the to the bullpen in major league baseball players started throwing footballs -- on the baseball field and now he's your guy. Since you lost -- -- the guru Tom Martinez. But I don't understand anything you told Peter King about what he does a genetic sequencing. Getting the power from the ground ground force production. Sounds like he's one of these really brilliant and a walkie. The guru types like in the in in in come full member who who taught young grasshopper. All that kind of thing is it is really. Mental what he's what he's doing for you. Look -- it and the metal part of football is. I mean person it's so important. Brad -- every decision making. Anticipation and so forth when it comes to actual throwing the ball. Like I said. You know there's always it comes to our mechanics and armed. In our -- -- -- -- according to the -- and move your stand and look at a -- you have a lot of there are consistent over the course that -- -- about mechanics so if you're slightly off are still pretty good guys. You know -- -- -- weekend hackers that go out there and don't have very good mechanical the -- you. You know either party is it nearly impossible but for the and it's not because they worked really hard aren't. You know the mechanics and the mechanics a little argued. You know -- you would you need to use that. You know you get -- where you want it to go that. Also bought the same examiners mechanics of the article on how do you maximize your efficiency I think I have really been intrigue over the last few years. You know somewhere and a lot of the reason why and not necessarily just how to -- it did well. More -- it's been about how -- Hey Gary scientific approach to throw the ball and it's just it's learned on improvement on the scene yourself. Make improvement. Part of the motivation you know what you if you continue on in this game it better and better and better and better and so that you can be picture bastard -- In this offseason did TO big you. Pay you to throw the ball he does wonder on the practice field -- you're -- Hewitt Hewitt you know he widgets are barely any -- -- or throw it down. Eight GO you know came out. You know I had a chance -- brought him which -- judge you know what my first time ever so. I'm Danny and I try to schedule the -- to go and it was fun to be out there. -- get a jump on the season. OK before we get the best buddies thing I got to ask you about the Kentucky Derby I've seen excited but maybe not quite that excited away from the football field fumble was at all about what's your relationship been. And that that manhunt last may be a little longer than felt comfortable for me. Well. Elated -- is a very irresistible expert with regard to Kentucky Derby for a long time -- it. A lot of my blade less then there -- and Tedy Bruschi and a lot of facts in a lot of guys that I do it Brandi came -- here. Other golf for about twelve years in. We went down with Brenda Morris you Yahoo! it was an order or so we actually kinda had a rooting interest and regenerating interest for several months. You know it's kind of like. We are very much bad and I haven't had that experience and a very long arm where you -- you're just very happy that someone else won. Yeah I would I was very yeah but they overjoyed. At the edge and it was quite it was a long buildup to that race though. We were are having a great dot. If -- gonna bet some money on why would you choose 4750. Bucks instead of like 4500 or 5000. I don't know where all that -- divers are not true. I would. I was just got that I would most Thabeet had you know my buddies -- -- -- -- which -- -- to -- it was really -- it was a critical. I'll call according to the IRS she didn't bet anything that's right nothing is -- what their funnel. Yeah well you can -- at that point of the day. -- don't you get nervous eating we have a suit that white -- that play tuxedo on our -- anything that day to be older my health. Other sports and are your -- social worker and diapers. Right now that's some stuff and let them to do that you Wear suits like that again hours like Michael Jordan used to Wear suits once and liked him away do you do you Wear that when you -- that again. Yes of course of course yeah home I mean I don't work so why give -- my friends you know a lot of teammates. You know at a time so that you got a little maybe in my and we play Miami you like and devices. They're gotten I mentioned earlier your labor -- best buddies challenges coming up give us the give out the details on its next weekend correct from the football game of the bike -- Yeah next Friday we have the ballgame at Harvard stadium we can do and Pittsburgh. God for five years now and we every year it's grown -- this year all that I'm aware there are. Being made are being given that I don't want to the -- one one aren't. Which is which is very -- to support -- the marathon. The people were injured a marathon so. That's that's Friday night at great turnout -- a lot of foreign and then Saturday's race. From my north of Boston die in a sport. The support best buddies with. It would look great organization had been involved with murder twelve years you know we raised. Brief four million dollars last year which is great hopefully we do more this year so come out. It's a great event. A lot of right he made the beat -- and it's really highlight of -- I'll -- I assume people can just Google best buddies and find the yeah he's our board believed he had. Yeah everything you need now let me ask you on this football game Friday night a WB wearing a red Jersey and -- of Bernard Pollard shows up will you please sidelines or how does that work and -- he's not invited. Now -- heavy security. ABC ABC the 2000 foot odds poster hanging over the mast -- Yes I dirt every day yet is that is that -- -- there with him yesterday at the are our oldest daughter. -- Usually used to have a a little dog too but I assume little -- it. Don't have -- Yeah you knowledge that they anymore without my dog that -- -- started working here such yet. She passed -- last year. I'm good talking to your best of luck with the OTAs and -- gold -- -- football and certainly -- best -- next -- football game Friday races on Saturday best buddies dot org is the way to find out the information you need to get involved could talk and -- double -- -- down the road. Are ready with Dennis and Callahan and -- on the AT&T hotline AT&T forgy LTE. -- actually introduced you to him but I was -- feel like left out on some island by the -- going with its voice yeah. He was supposed to leave the room anywhere -- is your nobody a -- -- -- -- It channels I can -- a little -- gunshots sacked him in that game -- game Harvard stay in pictures -- parent know though it still got to trust that's what he's saying yeah well it's a scholar I'd date and found out who took no Olympic Gardiner museum they may never find out. Our -- you say. He's either great actor genuinely honestly has worked this whole thing is mine and doesn't it doesn't take -- personal not personally notes one -- -- best -- yes but you have to write some pointed huge drive you crazy. What you think the immediate response in the immediate reaction will would be what everybody's would be -- that would be on a visceral level I'm disappointed to stop whatever the case may be but I think he has reconciled in his mind. For him to be as good as he needs to be as he possibly can be and whatever is around him. Yes -- take that approach to and I think if you're Brady after awhile you look and -- Malloy and every other. Almost every other personnel move that appeared to be. The disaster waiting to happen -- they've generally worked out yes bill I large old chick -- cut guys trading got a series a great example great success and elsewhere mercy look and and you finally. You know after whatever. How many years have been fifteen years yesterday. He knows what he's doing but somehow I don't I don't think I don't think Welker and and and Manning is going to be a -- know what I think -- on either although you know -- -- -- Amid I'm not doing it to me it's not personal and it's an emotional I just think Welker was a great player and reliable player right and never have the patriots had a player. They need. To stay healthy more than Mendel. I mean if he goes down and -- oh my god if he has done -- week one and locus of the make undertaken he is usually a hundred catches. That will appear to be that just the worst. Judgment call -- Belichick's time here. All right -- 6177797937. Fault lines are open or to talk with Tom Brady his former teammate Matt Light will join us in the 8 o'clock dollar Red Sox GM bench during -- in the night we'll be right back.

Vonn Plans on Competing Through 2018 Olympics
"After making the decision not to compete in Sochi, I have actually committed myself to racing through to the next Olympics," Vonn said on "TODAY" while sitting encumbered by a large right knee brace in Pensacola Beach, Fla., on Tuesday morning. "I'm very motivated. I have a lot that I want to accomplish still. I want to take my time. I felt a little bit rushed last time trying to be back and ready for Sochi."
Vonn, who had surgery almost two weeks ago, said the operation was less complicated than her surgery after blowing out her right knee at the World Championships last February.
No MCL work had to be done this time, but the ACL had to be reconstructed again and there was significant meniscus damage.
"I feel OK," Vonn said with her adopted dog, Leo, draped over her lap. "I guess I've been through this now once before. So I kind of know the drill, unfortunately."
What motivates Vonn? What does she still have to accomplish? Click here to continue reading this story and find out her answer.

Trade Values: Alexei Ramirez
News and Rumors
Last night we heard that the Pittsburgh Pirates were looking at Alex Rios, and also might consider Alexei Ramirez. I've already done a Trade Values article on Rios. That article included a brief estimate of the value of Ramirez, although that came from just glancing at his stats and contracts, rather than digging in deep and looking at him closer. With last night's rumor, I decided to look closer at Ramirez.
NOTE: The purpose here isn't to suggest the Pirates are offering this amount for these players. The purpose is to see the value of these players, using projected values (calculated as [(WAR*$5 M) - Salary]) and prospect trade values. We use our updated values for top 100 prospects, and Victor Wang's research on prospect values for non-top 100 prospects. Also check out our values fo...
