Manchester United Fans Still Bitter Over Glazer Takeover
m88 Dutchman Louis van Gaal, a title winner with Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, has been hired to replace him.
United's Twitter account made no mention of the passing of the man who bought the club for 790 million pounds (then $1.47 billion) in 2005.
Across Manchester, and even on parts of the London Underground, "Love United, Hate Glazer" stickers can still be spotted, having outlasted the campaigns to oust the Glazers that lacked momentum.
"The Glazers' ownership of Manchester United is a product of the lack of regulation that we have in the game," FC United general manager Andy Walsh said. McManus over the ownership of racehorse Rock of Gibraltar that led to them selling the club to the Glazers.
The fans' anger has only grown since Abu Dhabi's ruling family bought crosstown rival Manchester City, investing more than $1.5 billion to overhaul the team and infrastructure to finally challenge United's supremacy. Fans can only dream how that money could have been spent on new players rather than going to financial institutions.. He guided the club to five Premier League championships, a Champions League title and Club World Cup victory alone after the takeover. United was debt free before the Glazers saddled the club with loans to finance the buyout, which was greeted with violent protests and burning effigies of Malcolm Glazer in the streets outside the 76,000-capacity Old Trafford.
"As a supporter I am aware of the detrimental effect the Glazers have had on the football club and the huge debt that has been placed on Manchester United," MUST vice chairman Sean Bones said.
Maintaining a sustained campaign against the Glazers was always going to be challenging as manager Alex Ferguson continued to deliver success on the pitch. United finished seventh.
Although United's debt has fallen from a high of 716.5 million pounds (then $1.1 billion) in 2008-09 to 351.7 million pounds ($590 million), the financial burden remains a source of bitterness among fans.
With the value of Premier League television rights still going up, the Glazers have little urgency to sell a business with a market capitalization of $2.7 billion. Fully owned and run by supporters, FC United has reached the seventh tier of English football just three promotions from the professional league system and is opening its own 5,000-seat stadium later this year.
Perhaps aware of the supporters' enduring animosity, there was a low-key response from United just a 75-word website statement that was in noticeable contrast to the gratitude flowing from the Glazers' NFL franchise, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As a result, there was no outpouring of grief or flood of tributes from fans in the northern English city of Manchester following Wednesday's death of the club's 85-year-old former American owner.
LONDON (AP) Few Manchester United fans will ever forgive Malcolm Glazer for his acrimonious buyout of the club that left the 20-time English champions with millions of dollars of debt.
Glazer's direct involvement in United appeared to end after he had a stroke in 2006, and his six grown children control all but the 10 percent of the club that has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2012.
Even the Glazer family's fiercest critics will grudgingly acknowledge their success in extracting cash from the club's strong global brand more successfully than any domestic rival. City won the Premier League title this season for the second time in three years. The Glazer family still own Manchester United Football Club. But one of the six siblings, who have shown little emotional attachment to the club and rarely attend home games, could decide to cash in on their investment.
Returning United to the top echelons is important not only for prestige but to provide tens of millions of pounds (dollars) in UEFA revenue to service the debt.
The Manchester United Supporters' Trust, which has spearheaded the movement against the Glazer family, avoided any criticism of the billionaire in the hours after his death, choosing to reassert its condemnation of the family as a whole.
Just how reliant United was on Ferguson became clear last May when he retired after more than 26 years in charge. Hand-picked successor David Moyes flopped and was fired after 10 months in April. "Malcolm Glazer took advantage of that and his passing does not change that fact. The takeover of Manchester United caused a lot of pain in this city."
Some supporters were so incensed by the Glazers' takeover that they not only stopped going to games in 2005 but started their own breakaway club. It was Ferguson's fallout with shareholders John Magnier and J.P. Revenue is set to exceed $700 million in the 2013-14 financial year, helped by United amassing a portfolio of global companies willing to pay to use the Red Devils logo on everything from scooters to credit cards.
Fans adopted green-and-gold scarves in 2010 in honor of the club's original colors to protest against the Glazers even former midfielder David Beckham was draped in one when he returned to Old Trafford with AC Milan. But the scarves quickly became another fashion accessory and a separate, much-hyped proposed takeover bid by wealthy fans calling themselves the Red Knights collapsed.
Servicing the debt has cost United more than $1.5 billion in finance charges over nine years

Tournament Options Added in New Street Fighter X Tekken Update
January 30, 2013 | Posted by
The new Street Fighter X Tekken patch has been released and is built around tournament players. Digital Spy reports that the game now includes preset gem options that use the default gems to make gem selection quicker and easier for tournaments, promoting various play styles.
The patch is available for Xbox 360 and PS3, with the PC getting the patch in the "near future." Capcom is also discounting the Additional Character DLC Pack from today through February 4th at $14.99 or 1200 MS Points.
Players will have to start a new save file in order to access the new options in order to prevent the patch from interfering with gems that have already been collected.


text: Assoc. Says NY Consumers Should Be Protected from Automatically Footing the Bill from Storm Costs Statement by Beth Finkel, State Director for AARP in New York State NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hurricane Sandy has come and gone, but New York utility companies are only just beginning to figure out how to pay for any damage and upgrades. With the recently filed $400 million rate hike proposal by Con Edison, one thing is clear: they are looking to New York consumers to foot the bill. AARP is urging the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to thoroughly examine this rate case to ensure storm costs are not automatically passed on to New York consumers, with the utility bearing no liability. New Yorkers already pay some of the highest utility rates in the nation, and a new AARP report found that older natural gas consumers in the region can expect to pay roughly 20% more this year ( http://bit.ly/VA85sE). Older consumers on limited incomes are hit the hardest as they dedicate a much higher percentage of their household income to paying their utility bills. For the sake of New York consumers buckling under soaring utility rates, the PSC must also take a hard look at Con Edison's programs that aim to help residential ratepayers afford their utility bills. As reported by AARP in 2011 ( The Quiet Blackout: http://bit.ly/W7ig8b), Con Edison terminated service to 93,469 residential rate payers for non-payment – roughly 256 people a day every day. During the winter months, the utility company terminated service to 23,867 people, with the majority of those terminations hitting in January. 80% of state residents surveyed by AARP last year stated they were concerned about their heating and cooling bills going up. In another AARP survey of the Greater New York area's 50+, 86.4% reported losing power due to Sandy and 44% rated their electric utility's response poorly (AARP New York Sandy Survey: http://bit.ly/WYlQ3T). Sandy's toll on New Yorkers was high, and the last thing many need right now is escalating utility bills, especially those individuals on fixed incomes or facing tough economic times. The PSC must ensure consumers do not bear the full brunt of storm-related costs and protect vulnerable ratepayers' ability to keep their lights and heat on.

17 and attempting to transition!
I'm a senior in highschool and I've recently been looking into becoming natural. I just took out a sew in that I've had since January and I really want to start transitioning. I haven't had a whole perm since about December. My edges were permed about three weeks ago. I think I have a type 4b or 4c hair (not really sure) but I dont know how to do this. I dont know what products to buy for my hair and I just dont know where to start. I really really want to go natural. I've been jealous of those girls with cute afros for years.
I dont really want to BC because Im not sure what I'd look like and I have two moles on my scalp which might scare people away. But I think that might be my only route since my hair is damaged already.
Please help.
All you have to do is stay focused. I am fifteen and transitioning and I was terrified because I didn't know where to start, either. On products the SheaMiosture is a really good line. Just look for things that have moisture in them and stay away from sulfates. I am doing the curly girl method which means no shampoo. While your transitioning find your go to hairstyle: bantu knots, braid outs, twist outs, etc. You an find out how to do those on YouTbe which has lots of natural you tubers: Glamtwinz, Shameless Maya, HairCrush, and many others. I f you want to talk about transitioning you can message me.;)
Also there is a website that tells you what ingredients to avoid in your products. Doing that will help you find products that are cg friendly.
I would like to know the website that informs people what ingredient is bad for the hair please Thank you !!

Debadging Your Car
Written by:
Tim Jones
June 26, 2001
Tools Needed:
3M Adhesive Remover
Hair dryer
Dental floss or fishing line
Soft terry cloth
Car Wax
Estimated time: 15-20 minutes
1. Wash the areas around the badges you want to remove; if the car needs a wash this is a good time to do the car.
2. Heat up badge with hair dryer, test the amount of heat you are putting on the paint with your hand, you do not want to over heat the paint. This step can be skipped if you are doing this on a hot day. If are removing lettering or numbering work on one character at a time. Heat for ten to fifteen seconds checking the heat the entire time.
3. Spray 3M adhesive remover on badge, hold a cloth below the badge to keep the adhesive remover from dripping.
4. Heat again for another five to ten seconds, again checking the heat.
5. Using the dental floss start to cut the badges off. Pull the dental floss away from the car so that it is rubbing on the badge and not the car. If there is much resistance to the dental floss cutting the adhesive reheat and reapply 3M adhesive remover. Having a friend hold the badge helps so they do not go flying off.
6. With the badge off you now have to deal with the leftover adhesive. Carefully try to peal off the corner, if there is much resistance, reapply heat and 3M adhesive remover. Slowly peal the adhesive off; hopefully it will come off in one piece. Be careful not to scratch the paint by using your fingernails to "dig" at the adhesive.
7. With the badge and adhesive off move onto the next character or badge.
8. Use a wet wash mitt or towel to clean the dirt that you could not get before, when clean dry the area.
9. . 3M adhesive remover also removes wax, if your car needs a wax this might be a good time to do the car, otherwise just wax the areas you were working on. Notice how much easier it is to wax that area with out a badge in the way.
10. Stand back and admire.

Free Speech, Private Speech, Government Speech
Free Speech, Private Speech, Government Speech
David Bisno, M.D., Constitutional Law Scholar
Who is speaking when our government accepts the donation of a monument from a private group for placement in a public park? Or issues license plates with a message favored by one group but not by another? May the state require a citizen to carry the government's message? Or look at it? Are the restrictions on government speech different than those on private speech? Join us to discuss these thorny and provocative questions.

Hello and welcome new Prairie Children Preschool families and welcome back to our returning families!
We are already busy planning the 2016-2017 school year and have a lot of wonderful events planned for our students and their families.
Your involvement and membership in the Prairie Children Preschool PTA is very important. As a member, your family receives free admission to all of the social events and you are given the opportunity to vote at our PTA meetings. Most importantly, you are helping to provide educational and social enrichment opportunities that might not otherwise be possible – opportunities such as Fundraising Drives, Educational Speakers, The Fall Festival, The Sweetheart Dance, The Spring Picnic and the Reflections Program, just to name a few.
As they say, many hands make light work, and I am excited to see both our returning PTA volunteers, and many new ones as well! Research proves that when a parent volunteers, it has a positive effect on their student's success. When parents are involved in their children's education, they achieve more, schools perform better, and even teacher morale improves. Ultimately, school communities are stronger when parents get involved. I'd like to challenge each of you to not only join the PTA, but to find a way to get involved this year. There is a volunteer opportunity for everyone, whether you have a few minutes a month or a few hours a day, we have opportunities for everyone. Let's make this year a great one!
We would love to have you join the Prairie Children Preschool PTA!
Best Regards,
Your 2016-2017 Prairie Children Preschool PTA Board

Stop The World I Want To Get Off
27 YEAR OLD HANIYYAH BARNES OF NEWARK, New Jersey pleaded guilty yesterday to breaking into her neighbors home, grabbing a 2 year old Shih Tzu dog and throwing the animal into oncoming traffic. The dog was struck by a vehicle and killed. Why would someone do such a thing? It seems she was fighting with her neighbor over a parking space. Charges were burglary, animal cruelty and theft. She'll be sentenced in July. Prosecutors want 6 years in prison, a $2,600 fine, anger management classes, drug and alcohol counseling and would not be permitted to own, buy or live with an animal for 10 years. That sounds about right.
HERE IN AKRON, A 20 YEAR OLD MAN MET a woman on Facebook. So far so good. When the man returned the woman to her house (I guess it was their first date) she said she had to call someone to let her in. The woman then walked around to the back of the house while two men came out the front door, approached the man (one of the dudes had a gun) dragged him from the car, shot the gun into the air and threatened to kill him. They then stole his wallet, his cellphone and just for good measure, his car. These nutjobs are dangerous and Akron police would like to know if you see a 2006 Impala with Ohio license #LILJPW.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS TOMORROW, BUT let me give you a heads up here. Get ready to start paying tolls on interstate highways (you know I-77, I-76, I-271). It seems this is how the country will pay for upkeep of our expressway system. More on that in the morning at 9am on 640 WHLO. Jim

Stonecrest: The Hollow, The Hill and the ManorPin It
Manor seems a bit pretentious, don't you think? That was the name of our house - Stonecrest Manor - when it operated as a Bed and Breakfast and it suited it well for that purpose. For our raucous family of 6 though, perhaps we will just stick with Stonecrest. The house is aptly named as it sits on the literal crest of a large hill and was crafted from stones pulled from the creekbed in the hollow. The hollow is nestled in a vertical patch of woods, a creek cutting straight down the spine and creating plenty of planting pockets for itsy bitsy little bulbs and cascading flowers (something RED I am thinking), mounds of moss and copious amounts of ivy.
|A portion of the wild wood and hollow
This is a picture from our first visit, snapped very quickly. Note the overgrown flower beds and the ivy cascading over the stone walls. That has been tamed somewhat, but I look forward to planting out those beds this spring. I am also considering planting something in between those pavers aside from grass and weeds. Maybe thyme?
A closer look...all the stonework was in good condition, but the plants need a helping hand. That little cutout in the stone is lit up (though we haven't got the lights working yet....details) and there are actually four of them along the front stone wall. One is hidden in the photo behind the river of ivy.
Of course, you couldn't actually WALK down the hill because there were weeds up to your knees and we had no clue what the topography of the land was like and could have easily broken an ankle. It turns out the hill is actually graded in a logical, terraced manner. More to come on that once we start talking garden planning and chickens :) For now, here is another view of the late summer green.
|A portion of the grounds at Stonecrest five years ago
This room has already changed quite a bit. It was first on my list when we moved in and I tried to have patience, but the red carpet really drove me bonkers. This room used to be the billiards room and there was a pool table under that light over there. Of course, when we got the house, there was no light fixture at all, so we grabbed up that little pendant for $5 at Lowes as a placeholder and it really grew on me. That placeholder is going to be permanent, I believe!
Anyway...back to that carpet. It is nice carpet - thick and plush - and I tried to live with it and work with it, but it just wasn't working. This is the room I take my product photos in and the carpet was creating a red cast on everything and it was so PINK and one night I simply had enough and up it came! I had a sneaky suspicion that the floors underneath were going to look a bit like this...
It just isn't working for us, so the cheapest thing to change is of course the PAINT. The walls will get a coat and the bed will probably get a coat and we will see how the carpet recedes when they do. I am going to try to live with the green and embrace it for as long as I can. Think whites, muted gold, blacks and a little muted taupe and the green could start to become a knockout. We shall see...
|This was another guest room for the bed and breakfast, but is currently our little girl's nursery.
One of the biggest selling points, but one of the most daunting spaces to tackle is the main courtyard. This space is the heart of the home, and has skylights that allow plants to grow year round. The other rooms all branch off of the courtyard creating a space that feels a bit like a town square with little apartments on either side. Currently, the courtyard is empty, save a host of fabulous plants from Southern Living. I was also able to add lighting to this space (see the missing fixtures/electrical boxes?) with these cool outdoor lights. It serves us well as an open "playland" of sorts that transformed into our Thanksgiving dining room and will hopefully someday morph into my dream orangery. (yes, really) I also dream of ivy draping down from all of those iron balconies...can't you just see it?

Metallic Foldover Clutch
3 Recommendations
SpinDaily's recommendation
Poppie Couture has designed a must-have clutch in exotic metallic stingray. All her clutches are so cute and have just enough room so that you can carry everything you need and still look good. This one is our favorite because it is so shiny and yet very seventies glam looking.
My Collections:
Poppie's recommendation
Everything on my wish list would look amazing with one of my Poppie Couture fold-over clutches. Oversized clutches are all the rage and this is the one that has them all talking. Just ask A-list style mavens like Jen Aniston, Demi Moore, Naomi Watts, Kate Bosworth. You can Fold it (with the bare essentials), Scrunch it (fill it with your pashmina), and pack it flat for travel (why get stuck with the bag you bring on the plane?) Available at Bergdorf Goodman in Gold, Silver, Black Crocodile Patent, and red patent.
My Collections:
On page 79 of this week's US WEEKLY (nov 25) , Jordin Sparks is carrying a poppie couture clutch.

Comes in so many wonderful colors to suit any outfit.

Antibiotics are among the greatest achievements of medical science. But lately the former multi-purpose weapon fails in the battle against infectious diseases. Bacteria are increasingly developing resistance to antibiotics. Researchers have now found a therapeutic equivalent which could replace penicillin and related phamaceuticals.
More and more pathogens are becoming immune to antibiotics. Some bacteria can no longer be combated. The World Health Organization WHO is warning about resistance to drugs which were once so potent. The WHO's director-general Margaret Chan has pointed out that if measures are not taken quickly, it may soon not be possible to treat many frequently occurring infections. Figures released by the WHO show that in 2010 nearly half-a-million people were infected with a strain of tuberculosis which is resistant to many antibiotics one third of those infected died. The Organization states that the growing spread of resistant pathogens is attributable to the indiscriminate use of penicillin and other antibiotics.
Research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI in Leipzig have found an alternative to the established antibiotics. In the future, antimicrobial peptides will take up the battle against pathogens. "We have already identified 20 of these short chains of amino acids which kill numerous microbes, including enterococci, yeasts and molds, as well as human pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, which is found in the human oral cavity and causes tooth decay. Even the multi-resistant hospital bug Staphylococcus aureus is not immune, and in our tests its growth was considerably inhibited," says Dr. Andreas Schubert, group manager at Fraunhofer IZI.

The hair
Blow-drying is practically a national sport in America and Tea Party candidates are keen to play by the rules. Christine O'Donnell's "done" look, like Sarah Palin's, features a swoosh of fringe to soften the face.
The lipstick
Palin famously loves a heady lick of glossy pink. O'Donnell also appears to favour a pink lip but with a more subtle and sober matte finish, which is much less showy.
The pearls
The sartorial message is clear. Pearls – like the views of the Tea Party candidates – are conservative and prim. They are also a bona fide fashion classic for women of all ages.
The colour
A splurge of ketchup red is utterly synonymous with Palin, making O'Donnell's embracing of the hue something of a homage. Red might be having a fashion comeback but the Tea Party look is far more about a breed of power-dressing that thoroughly reeks of the 80s.
Glasses (optional)
Spectacles used to be considered bookish and un-glam but recently they have become the ultimate finishing fashion accessory – sexy even. O'Donnell seems rather non-committal about wearing hers but Palin is rarely seen without her trademark frameless pair, which give her a vaguely sinister edge.

Once AGAIN you LIE stamos while once AGAIN remaining anonymous. You feel comfortable slinging mud and lies behind and anonymous name! Grow some!
I am tired of your constant bashing LIES! Give me your name and I will bring you to court, SCARED are you????????? Grow some!!!!!!
Stand behind your words Stamy! If you feel so righteous then stand behind what you spew! As with Leominster, you both remain to be trouble making, harassing ANNONYMOUS COWARDS!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!
COWARDS! Be a man for ONCE in your life and stand up to what you spew out of your lying trouble making mouths!!!!! Just ONE time be brave!!!
#2 Mar 9, 2014
Hey Lynch- how many times have you threatened to bring someone to court? And exactly what for? Posting a public document illustrating that you are a liar and a dangerous menace? LMAO!
#3 Mar 9, 2014
And, excuse me, but somehow, by your standards, 8 people (one of whom was you, b/c that's what you pleaded guilty to) stabbing, clubbing and kicking a man to death while he pleaded for you to stop isn't cowardly? You can deny your involvement and accuse people of lies all you want. You pleaded guilty to manslaughter and got a 6-15 year jail sentence, which shows, despite your loony denials, that you were a big part of this despicable crime. You say you were set up, it was political, blah blah blah. All complete nonsense. You've had 22 years to clear your name. And you haven't. Because you are guilty and have been lying for 22 years.
#4 Mar 9, 2014
Hey Lynch
Just ONE time be brave!!! Tell us the TRUTH
1. You HELP Kill Andrew
2. Your a liar
3. Your Gay
4. You liked being in JAIL with all your butt buddy's
5. You attacked a cop and a EMT
6. Your a want-a-be Mayor that as lost 2 times
7. You moved back into your mothers basement with your GAY boyfriend
So Just ONE time be brave!!! Tell us the TRUTH
#5 Mar 10, 2014
Tell the truth about who you have killed
#6 Mar 11, 2014
1) I didn't help to kill Andrew as Andrew helped to kill Andrew more than I did. I just about begged him not to fight and he took it all for weakness and attacked two little boys,FACT! He then grabbed a golf club off one small 135 lb boy and began to assault people. They came to break up my house. Andrew and his friends were leg breakers as I was introduced to Andrew a couple weeks prior at the Yacht club.
2) I tell the truth more than anyone you know; you are a trouble making LIAR! You spout your mouth off without any facts. You just attempt to label me all the time. You, can go fuck yourself. And by the way MOUTH, how did your ward council run go?
3) I am Gay? This bothers you? Then mind your fucking business and go away. Bring your mouth to me and take a swing at me and this gay man might just kick your ass. Then you can go back to Boston and tell them how Lynch kicked your ass and that I am gay!
4) Another strike at my sexual identity? You are real tough spouting your cock sucker from an anonymous post, huh? Real brave!
5) I did not attack a cop nor an EMT on North street. And I will tell you that you do not even have half the dignity of those who attempted to frame me on North street. You are the biggest COWARD in Fitchburg, LMAO!
6) I lost my run for Mayor just one time. I raised a lot of issues. I stood up when people like you cowardly hid. As you state, I am an "ex con", a "homosexual" and a new resident to Fitchburg. I stood up against massive corruption within Fitchburg as many have cowered from taking a stance against this corruption. I am running for Mayor again.
7) My boyfriend is gay? Really? Now that is pretty dam smart of you to figure that out.
Now, I just have ONE question for you to answer; COWARD!!!!
#7 Mar 11, 2014
The Insider, tell us what your name is besides COWARD!!??
#8 Mar 11, 2014
I never killed anyone. And if you are a relative of Andrew then go ask the barber's in Southie, go ask those at the yacht club who was a leg breaker and who enjoyed hurting people and crashing parties.
I didn't kill Andrew. Andrew refused to NOT to fight, he wanted to fight at all cost. I tried to avoid a fight at all cost. I didn't throw him out of my house physically. And he DID NOT think that he was entering a house of his family as he hung out at the bar just 6 houses away.
He was introduced to me at the Yacht club as a leg breaker. He sold alcohol after hours and cocaine. He hurt people for money.
I lost a lot as did my brother over that case. There is someone doing a natural life sentence. It WAS NOT a joint venture as the jury ruled! It never was as the papers just pumped things up in order to sell papers.
Ask his friends what I stated to them at the door and ask them if they were lining me up for the sucker punch.
I wish I had a gun that day as I would have shot in the air in order to stop the fighting. I am not God and could not control all the fighting. It was a donnybrook where you punched and kicked anyone who wasn't on your side as they did to me.
I had multiple blood types on my clothing and NONE of it was Andrews.
And the lie that I kicked him or that anyone hit him with a weapon while he was being killed is a complete LIE as it never happened! All his deadly injuries where done to him by one person who went berserk and didn't stop. I was fighting someone else over 40 feet away while Andrew was inflicted with deadly force.
It was a tragedy, it was something that I wish I could of controlled. These people out here if you look back have not stopped harassing me. They are gross. This site is nicknamed the "cesspool" due to what these anonymous POS's state out here.

see you at the Barbie!!!
#10 Mar 11, 2014
do they accept women to this all exclusive club?
#11 Mar 11, 2014
Hey Lynch, why do the official versions of this trial and all of your other many run ins with the law differ? I know your answer is always that everyone but you lied. But that's crap. You really think anyone believes that people have been conspiring to set you up for the last 28 years? That is crazy. And a big lie.
You agreed before a judge with the facts as presented by the prosecution. You pleaded guilty to manslaughter. You knew that a jury would have found you guilty of murder. You went to jail. And you've been lying about it ever since. As well as lying about the assaults, FSU, and the RMV. One huge river of lies.
#12 Mar 11, 2014
It is Republican self righteous idiots like you who continue to allow the RMV and Antonucci and the like conduct corruption and not have to abide by the constitution.
Then there are people like me who stand up for rights. You are just another mouth posting under an anonymous name. You are part of the "real cowards".
#13 Mar 11, 2014
What is funny is the fact that you all post under anonymous names. It should be the "Coward Club" !! LMAO!!!
Don't get too brave as you may actually tell me which bar you chose to have this barbecue at as your other one seems to be closed down now.
#14 Mar 11, 2014
Nothing is ever your fault is it? Everyone but you is always wrong. Everyone who has ever tried to protect the public against your long one man anti social crime spree is corrupt. This kind of thinking just proves that you are crazy beyond belief and not grounded in reality. You belong in a nuthouse.
#16 Mar 11, 2014
No, the problem is that people like you vote for the candidate who is going to generalize as they cast a label on a good portion of society.
I stand up to corruption. Yes, corruption has come out on top but I have exposed its ugly face in the process.
The city of Fitchburg belongs to ALL it's citizens and not just a little group of good ole boys who continuously fuck everything up.
#17 Mar 11, 2014
Stand up to corruption? That's funny. By losing your license for life? By getting banned from FSU? By spending 8 years in the Big House? By being on probation for assault until September? By having a police record as long as a double roll of toilet paper? Is your refusal to work also your way of standing up to the Man?
You can pretend that you're some kind of crusader, and that probably works in your insane world view. But to everyone outside your revolving spheres of madness you're just another lowlife habitual criminal who sponges off the taxpaying public and blames all of his self inflicted problems on others.

HI I am Dr Martscoff from the Cleveland Institute of Pychological Disorders, I have met with Lynch on many occasions and have clinically diagnosed Lynch with the following disorders
Narcissistic personality disorder is a condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, Lynch has a need for admiration, extreme self-involvement, and lack of empathy for others. Individuals with this disorder such as Lynch are usually arrogantly self-assured and confident. They expect to be noticed as superior. Many highly successful individuals might be considered narcissistic. However, this disorder is only diagnosed when these behaviors become persistent and very disabling or distressing.
Vulnerability in self-esteem makes Lynch with this disorder very sensitive to criticism or defeat. Although Lynch may not show it outwardly, criticism may haunt Lynch and may leave him feeling humiliated, degraded, hollow, and empty. Lynch may react with disdain, rage, or defiant counterattack. Lynch s social life is often impaired due to problems derived from entitlement, the need for admiration, and the relative disregard for the sensitivities of others. Though their excessive ambition and confidence may lead to high achievement; performance may be disrupted due to intolerance of criticism or defeat.
Narcissistic traits are very common in adolescents, but most adolescents grow out of this behavior. Unfortunately, for some,such as Lynch this narcissistic behavior persists and intensifies into adulthood; thus I have since Diagnosed HI I am Dr Martscoff from the Cleveland Institute of Pychological Disorders, I have met with Lynch on many occasions and have clinically diagnosed Lynch with the following disorders

Written by Dave Dulberg, USC blog contributor
The Trojans took it rather easy with a short, glorified walk-through in preparation for Saturday's home contest against Washington...
- The injury list is pretty limited heading into USC's homecoming game against the Huskies. DT DaJohn Harris (ankle) and CB Torin Harris (shoulder) will be game-time decisions. But, Lane Kiffin said that the defense would receive a bit of a boost this weekend with LB Dion Bailey (concussion) returning to the starting lineup.
- On Wednesday, Kiffin announced that RB Curtis McNeal would make his second straight start on Saturday. However, RB Marc Tyler (shoulder) looked pretty fresh on Thursday after his week-long layoff and should expect to play a contributing role alongside McNeal. Last season against the Huskies, Tyler gained 60 yards on the ground and recorded a career-high two touchdowns.
- Without Tyler, USC relied heavily on RB Amir Carlisle in the second half of last Friday's 42-17 win over Colorado. Carlisle (pictured right by John McGillen) rushed for a career-high 90 yards while also notching his first USC touchdown on a 19-yard screen pass. While Tyler's return may diminish Carlisle's role moving forward, the true freshman admitted Thursday he's not too concerned with the depth chart. "I don't have expectations for myself regarding playing time," Carlisle said. "I will have the same mentality I had last week and if my number is called I will give 110 percent."
- 110 percent was hard to come by in the waning moments of USC's last two losses to Washington. This week, the message revolved around finishing off the Huskies late in Saturday's game. "It's really going to take all four quarters from us to beat these guys," said DE Nick Perry. "They are going to come at us with everything they have and the last two years we weren't ready for that. But now, we are better trained and better prepared to play 60 minutes of football. And I believe that can be seen in the mentality we've had all season."
- Matt Barkley's record-breaking performance against the Buffaloes left Trojan fans clamoring for one more year out of the junior QB, but Barkley isn't the only one on the offensive side of the football with a big decision to make this offseason. LT Matt Kalil is currently ranked as the No. 2 prospect on Mel Kiper's annual Big Board heading into April's NFL Draft, but the redshirt junior insists his mindset is on the present not the future. "I'm not even thinking about that right now," said Kalil. "I haven't even discussed it with my parents or brother yet. I'm trying to go one game at a time and when that decision comes that's when it comes."
- Washington's defense has been much maligned this year, but Kalil believes they still have a lot of talent. "They have a good style to their defense," said Kalil. "They are some fast pass rushers, two big tackles in the middle and really good linebackers. This will definitely be one of the tougher games for us as an offensive line."
- After Wednesday's practice, Kiffin touched upon how special this weekend will be for CB Nickell Robey and his family. On a weekend that would have marked his mother Maxine's 46th birthday, the coach took time out again on Thursday to speak about the kind of person Robey's late-mother was. "She was really a great lady, a real special lady," said Kiffin. "She always had a smile on her face and was always the first one to greet you at their house. She was a real caretaker for everybody. There must have been 30 people at the house one night when I visited, and she knew everybody and was sort of the mother hen."
- Even without QB Jake Locker behind center this year, Kiffin said that Steve Sarkisian's team still has an offense style that veers from the traditional pro-style look he helped develop at USC. "Ever since he left here, he has moved towards a more spread out look with more shotgun. There is not as much NFL-style offense, but they are doing great at it."
- Thursday's fireworks had nothing to do with on-field performance. The cardinal and gold were very loose for the morning session, including Tyler, Barkley and WR Kyle Prater, who were not shy about showing off their dance moves in between drills.
- The play of the day came on the final snap of practice with Matt Barkley completing a TD pass on the run to FB Rhett Ellison during a goal line formation.
- Here's the coach with a few quick soundbites after Thursday's practice...

I intend to acquire my first stand mixer and today have read this thread discussion with great interest in the hope of assisting me to make a purchase decision. It was Amazon's to-good-to-refuse-offer of a KA Pro 600 Meringue ($229.99 after $50 rebate) that spurred me to compare the Cuisinart 5.5 with the KA Pro model at a local retailer.
There is no question that the KA has classic Art-Deco lines and the Cuisinart reminds me more of a sewing machine. However, once I opened the hood and sat in the driver's seat without starting the engine so to speak, I was baffled by the procedure for insertion and removal of the bowl on the KA Pro. It seemed to me that a blade or whisk had to be attached after the bowl was placed, and then detached prior to removing the bowl.
To me this appeared very awkward and was made more so if one wanted to use the rather ill fitting splash guard. The Cuisinart, on the other hand, came with a spring loaded pivot arm that was activated for release by depressing a lever. Presumably the arm rotates sufficiently far enough that the bowl can be removed without having to detach an accessory. Additionally, the splash guard lifted out of the way with the arm. These were my observations and the KA's good looks withdrew.
Is using a KA Pro 600 as awkward as it appears to me? While we tend to adjust to shortcomings, I would prefer not to start out purchasing a product knowing it has them.

The Chinese government continues its policy of deciding which information will be shared with citizens of the nation. Five citizens in Rucheng county in Hunan provice decided to institute action which, if successful, would begin the process of allowing Chinese people to obtain access to secret decision makng on the part of the their government. They worked for a State-owned water plant, but the county's construction bureau signed a contract with a private investor and transformed the company into a joint venture. The workers challenged the legality of the bureau as a government agency to sign the contract, and in response, the government initiated an investigation but refused to share its results with the workers.
This may appear to be a minor issue, but it carries major implications for the people of China– have they legal rights when it comes to decision making on the part of government officials? An official told the workers, "the investigation is for the internal refrence of the county leaders, it does not belong to wha should be made public." However, the State Council in January passed a law on "Rules of Openess Of Government Information of China" which requires government bodies to share information with the citizens of China. Who knows, maybe these five workers have initiated the process of obtaining for all Chinese citizens a version of the Freedom of Informaton Act that is currently in effect in America.

Do cell phones cause brain cancer?
There is an ongoing concern by a number of people that cell phones cause brain cancer. Some reports in the popular press and some web sites suggest that avoiding cell phone use and using a macrobiotic diet will help avoid brain cancer. This situation has been exacerbated by a recent ruling to put cell phones on a list of items that "may" cause cancer by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This was done because the IARC suggested that an increase in gliomas may occur with high use of cell phones. The IARC classified cell phones as group 2b carcinogens; these substances are considered possibly carcinogenic, but evidence is limited in both humans and experimental animals. The report does not say that cell phones cause brain cancer.
Currently, many researchers are convinced there is no good evidence for these cancer-causing claims. In December 2010, a large study of about 59,000 cell phone users, with use times ranging over five to 10 years, indicated that no substantial change in brain cancer incidence could be found in these individuals. Investigators suggest that "high usage" of cell phones over long time periods is yet to be investigated. With over 5 billion phones in use and no significant increase in gliomas (the most frequent type of brain cancer) reported worldwide, many investigators think that normal cell use likely causes no harm. However, for those readers who want to minimize any electromagnetic radiation dose from cell phones, the reader can consult the web for a list of phones that produce the highest and lowest radiation levels (for example, http://reviews.cnet.com/2719-6602_7-291-2.html?tag=page;page). In addition, the use of earphones or the speaker function will allow usage without the phone having close proximity to the brain. The American Cancer Society has a detailed review of most of the major studies done on this topic to date (http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cellular-phones). In addition, the National Cancer Institute has an up-to-date article that discusses the "cell phone and cancer risk" controversy in great detail (http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet).

An Aurora man died Wednesday in a house fire on S.R. 306 in the northern part of the city.
The man, who was identified by the Portage County Coroner's Office as Eddie S. Dilworth III, 73, was dead when firefighters reached him, according to Aurora Fire Chief David Barnes.
Firefighters were called at 6:09 p.m. to the house at 607 S.R. 306. Barnes said the home was filled with fire and heavy smoke when they arrived.
There was a report of a person trapped in the house, according to Barnes, who said fire crews searched and found Dilworth's body in a room that was totally engulfed in fire. Barnes said there were no other people or pets in the one-story house.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the state fire marshal, the Portage County coroner and Aurora police and fire departments.
In addition to Aurora, firefighters from Bainbridge, Mantua-Shalersville, Reminderville, Solon and Twinsburg were summoned. It took about an hour to put out the blaze Barnes said.
S.R. 306 was closed between Barrington Boulevard and Treat Road for about five hours Wednesday and was closed again for about two hours Thursday morning because smoldering debris in the roof reignited the fire, which Aurora firefighters extinguished.
Barnes said there was "significant" damage to the home, which he said is not liveable, but the amount of damage was not known.

As a resident of Aurora I am greatful for the extra assistance from the surrounding communities. Never know if a fellow brethren may need help! Just makes "CENTS!"
Perhaps, Fire Departments are not called from other cities or townships to only assist in fighting the fire, but as training exercises. On-the-job training is essential in the process for the development of a successful, and valuable fire department. I, for one, am in favor of this practice.
"In addition to Aurora, firefighters from Bainbridge, Mantua-Shalersville, Reminderville, Solon and Twinsburg were summoned. It took about an hour to put out the blaze" Barnes said...Question??..Why the need to involve 5 additional fire departments to respond to a single story house fire? Seems like overkill. If the Aurora Fire Department can't put a house fire out by themselves, something is wrong.

I recently purchased one of these fine shift knobs from WC Lathe Werks, used it for about one day and I quickly realized that I needed a larger ball and shank. Story of my life...
So, I talked to Chris @ WC and he is making me a custom deal. Super nice guy to talk to also.
So my loss, your gain. WRX Copolymer Sphere w/ brass insert. $89 new, or $80 shipped in the US for mine.
Website info: 5MT Copolymer WRX Sphere
I can get pics, but it's the same thing as from the site and it is mint. The weight is great and the beauty part is it doesn't get cold in the winter like a metal shift knob!


text: Leave it up to a couple of barflies to come up with an event as baffling as the Man v. Horse Marathon. The idea was hatched in the back bar of the Neuadd Arms Hotel in Llanwrtyd Wells, where the owner overheard his patrons' fervent discussion about whether a man could beat a horse in a distance challenge, and decided to put it to the test. The mountainous 22-24-mile event has taken place every year since 1980, and whereas you might expect the horses to beat the humans without contest, that hasn't always been the case. Human runner Huw Lobb beat the lead horse for the first time in 2004, and Florian Holzinger repeated Lobb's achievement in 2007. The reason the competition is so close comes down to evolution. Many scientists believe we evolved to be persistent hunters that chased animals across the savanna until they collapsed. Our ability to lose heat through sweat is just one adaptation that gives us a leg up on horses and other quadrupeds, who pant to expel heat but have trouble doing so at top speeds. That's likely the reason humans have been able to win: those victories took place on hot days.

New Names Etched Into Vietnam Veterans Memorial
There are 13 new names engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. The Department of Defense recently determined these 13 soldiers died as a result of their wounds during the war, which stretched from the first American casualty in 1956 to the fall of Saigon in 1975. The new names join more than 58,000 others. Here & Now's Alex Ashlock was in Washington yesterday for the adding of the new names and brings us this report.
I kept thinking how familiar this was, as I spoke to people at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, Mother's Day. They were the families of 13 soldiers whose names have just been engraved on the Memorial Wall.
There were wives and sons and sisters who took care of their wounded men when they came home from Vietnam. Some did it for many years. It reminded me so much of my parents' generation, friends of my mom and dad, a couple. The man came home from World War II paralyzed. The woman took care of him the rest of his long life.
Beth Wilson of Florence, Alabama, did that for Danny Joe Wilson. They got married after Danny came home wounded from the Vietnam War. She couldn't remember how many surgeries he had after that. He couldn't work, but he lived. He coached Little League. A family friend told me that before Danny died in 2012, kids from the teams he coached, grown up by then, came to the hospital to visit him.
"It was really special to come here for this," Kathy Lawson said. "This was something he would have been so excited about. It's a bittersweet day."
Thomas Charles Littles of Brewton, Alabama, was drafted in 1966. He was wounded in 1969 during his first tour of duty in Vietnam. He died two years later at the age of 24. Thomas was one of 10 children. His brother Douglas was standing near the panel, which now includes Thomas's name.
"Some folks would say closure, but it just says he served with pride and it's finally being recognized by this great memorial," Douglas Littles said.
One of the other names added to the Wall over the weekend was Michael Noel Faherty. There was no family there to see it though. He emigrated to Boston from Galway, Washington, and joined the Army in 1966, as a combat photographer. He caught malaria in Vietnam and died in 1968. His name is now engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, but he's buried in Rahoon Cemetery in Galway City, Ireland.

need a logo for my software company
I need a logo for my company's website. The company name is Clevr Software.
I want it to be suitable in a corporate setting. I'm thinking to have either just one word "Clevr" or 2 words "Clevr Software". For the 2-word version, the word "Software" stands below "Clevr" and 2 words have equal width. In either version, I like the word "Clevr" in a wide font (like oracle's logo). Also, only the first letter is capital. However, all the above are just rough thoughts, I'm totally open to ideas.

text: MTA statement on California tenure ruling A Superior Court judge in California struck down the state's teacher tenure law on June 10, ruling that the law deprived students of their right to a quality education. The ruling was issued in Vergara v. California, a case backed by Silicon Valley multimillionaire David Welch. The judge also found against California's system under which seniority plays a key role in transfer and layoff decisions. The NEA and the California Teachers Association blasted the decision, and the union is appealing the case. Anti-union interests are expected to fight the appeal and to bring similar cases in other states. The judge's ruling covers only the state of California. The following statement was issued on June 11 by MTA President Paul Toner: We strongly disagree with the California ruling and support the union there in appealing it. In Massachusetts, we have a system of evaluation and due process that supports both the interests of students and rights of teachers. And it works. We are one of the most highly unionized states in the country, and our students are first in the nation and among the top-performing students in the world. In their first three years, teachers in Massachusetts must be evaluated frequently and can be dismissed for any reason. If they receive positive evaluations, they attain Professional Teacher Status in their fourth year. This gives them due process rights – not a job for life. They continue to be evaluated thoroughly. If they are struggling, they must be given guidance on how to improve. If they fail to improve, there is a speedy process for dismissing them. In Massachusetts, school districts and local unions bargain over how to make layoff decisions, but performance is the primary factor, and seniority can only be used as a tie-breaker. Students benefit when their teachers are treated fairly. Under the Massachusetts system, teachers can speak out about what their students need without fearing retaliation. Administrators are now held accountable for actually doing evaluations and for providing teachers with the professional development and support they need. We emphatically disagree with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's ill-advised embrace of this court decision, which ultimately could wipe out due process rights for California teachers. We hope he will reconsider. The secretary's views on this issue are sure to alienate teachers across the country at a time when he should be trying to foster collaboration and mutual respect among teachers, parents, administrators and community leaders. We agree with NEA President Dennis Van Roekel's statement that anti-union corporate interests are behind this lawsuit. He is right when he says: "Stripping teachers of their rights to due process won't help learning. But it will make it more difficult to attract and retain the best and brightest to the teaching profession."

Girl Scout Cadette, Katie, Provides Craft Kits for Kids
Riley received craft donations from local Girl Scout Cadette, Katie Blandford, who was working on a Silver Award Project. Katie contacted Deaconess to discuss donating craft kits to the Pediatric Unit. Katie met with Paula Yarbrough, Manager of Pediatrics and Lisa Lantaff, Child Life Assistant, to discuss what kinds of crafts patients liked to do. Katie created different craft projects for different age groups. She put a lot of thought and work into this project and was very well organized throughout the whole process. Katie put together two large crates of crafts for pediatric patients.
The staff was very impressed with Katie's skills to bring this project together and they know that the patients will enjoy doing the crafts while they are here. We would like to thank Katie and congratulate her on achieving the Silver Award Project.

When the MKS came out last year, it signified a new start for Lincoln, new models with modern technology and luxury. The 2009 MKS featured an excellent THX-designed audio system along with the best cell phone and MP3 player integration in the business. But Lincoln planned to do more than just offer really good cabin tech, as the 2010 Lincoln MKS, just one year later, features an all new power train and a raft of new driving technologies.
To test the new MKS, we took it on a road trip down to the Los Angeles Auto Show, piling two editors and a photographer into this luxury sedan. Complaints arose in some quarters that we wouldn't be taking an SUV or crossover on this 1,000-mile round-trip trek, but when the 2010 MKS showed up in our garage, its size silenced all negative mutterings. And the size of the very spacious trunk made our luggage look meager, even with laptop and camera bags added to suitcases. We could have fit a couple more people in the cabin of the car, and squeezed one or two more into the trunk, if we wanted to pick up hitchhikers.
Ecoboost powerhouse
Being automotive journalists, the first driver in our rotation got the MKS onto a straight road, then floored the gas. The Ecoboost engine, a twin-turbocharged direct-injection 3.5-liter V-6, used its 350 pound-feet of torque to twist all four wheels (the Ecoboost version of the MKS comes standard with all-wheel-drive), in an attempt to defeat the efforts of countless engineers to design tires that grip asphalt securely.
And the engineers won, as the tires maintained grip and the big sedan bolted forward, giving everyone in the car the delightful feeling of strong acceleration. Subsequent acceleration tests during this journey got up to high speeds, tapping the 355 horsepower from this engine, and revealing that, as the car shoots past 70 mph, things start to feel a little unstable. The car doesn't hunker down and the suspension doesn't stiffen up, which would contribute to better handling when the speedometer starts threatening triple digits.
We also made a timed run based on opportunity, under very nonideal conditions. Three people still in the car, luggage in the back, and on a bend, we punched the gas, the engine roared, and the car hit 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The same engine got the Ford Taurus SHO to 60 mph in 5 seconds, a realistic figure for the MKS as well, if you want to start leaving passengers on the side of the road.
And being automotive journalists, we made use of the paddle shifters while driving down the freeway. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission choice, but it does have a manual mode. Put the stick into M, and the steering wheel-mounted paddles become active. We amused ourselves looking at which gear produced which engine speed while traveling at freeway speeds, and lamented the fact that the paddles don't do anything in normal drive mode. In some situations, you want to be able to quickly shift down to get some power, without first having to move the stick.
Adaptive cruise does the driving
Having messed around with manual shifting, we turned our attention to the adaptive cruise control system. In moderate traffic heading south from San Francisco on the freeway, we set the cruise control to 75 mph, with the gap to the next car set at the default maximum. The MKS quickly caught up with slower traffic doing a law-abiding 60 to 65 mph, and the cruise control system matched the speed of the car ahead.
We changed the gap to the minimum, as the default put us too far behind the car ahead, and we followed at a comfortable pace, not touching gas or brake pedals. Whenever we felt the car ahead was going too slowly, we moved the MKS over a lane. After a brief moment it realized there were no cars ahead, and leaped to comply with our previously set speed. For much of this long freeway cruise, we let the adaptive cruise control handle braking and gas, enjoying some driving luxury.
One of the treats of sitting in the MKS for hundreds of miles was the THX II audio system, comprised of 14 speakers and 5.1 surround-sound processing. The sound quality from this system is very refined, and competes well with Lexus' Mark Levinson and Audi's Bang & Olufsen systems, while blowing away the Bose systems found in many other cars.
To feed this sound system, the MKS has a single CD/DVD player, satellite and terrestrial radio, storage for music on the navigation system's hard drive, the capability to play music from Bluetooth streaming sources, and a USB port that can accept an iPod or Zune cable. We tried the USB port, as it would make our MP3 player's music library available on the car's LCD and through voice command--features of the car's Sync system we've tested many times before in other cars. But the USB port was completely hosed, not responding to anything we plugged into it. It was a bad glitch in this automotive tech wonderland, forcing us to rely on Bluetooth streaming, which doesn't offer nearly as nice of an interface.

Argh! I had a great post planned for tonight, and a giant ball of tangled yarn got me sidetracked. I was trying to wind up those three skeins of rainbow yarn that I dyed for the girls' leggings, and I'm not even going to tell you how it ended up as a big tangled wad. I've got it mostly sorted, but it's time for bed and there are no pictures yet again today. I hate it when there are no pictures! Sorry.
More importantly, I owe an apology to blackbird, I'm afraid. I think I was too tired last night, and my reference to her post was confusing. Let me just start off by saying that blackbird is awesome – she is one of the best bloggers I have encountered. She's nice (as far as I can tell), she writes wonderfully, takes great pictures, has awesome taste in just about everything, and I could go on and on. She leads what seems to me a very interesting, rich life as well.
I was in no way complaining about what blackbird had suggested or blaming her or the board shorts for my sunburn. They're totally unrelated. I am actually very thankful for her post leading me down the path away from swimsuits with skirts to attempt to hide the unsightly butt/thigh area and towards the much more sensible shorts. Go read her post. I'll wait. Okay, see? She's cool, right? Now add her to your blogroll and I promise she'll amuse you to no end. You're going to want to go back and read her archives.
And for those of you who were wondering where to shop for board shorts, she had some great suggestions. The problem with board shorts for me (at least, as far as I can tell from the pictures) is that most of them are too short to look good on my fat upper thighs or they're cut too straight. I need loose-thigh pants or trust me, it's even less pretty than we want to think about. Don't argue with me, just please take my word for it that that's how I feel about it.
Allright, I have to go to bed now, but let me just share the other thing I did tonight – I got involved! Our neighborhood has almost no stop signs, and we really need some because of cut-through traffic. I went to the planning meeting to put my voice in to get it happen. I know, not that big a deal. In fact, it was an excuse to sit and knit for an hour instead of feeding the kids dinner and giving them their bath. But it feels good to be doing something – something small – that will improve our neighborhood for our family as well as everyone else.
Tomorrow – sock pictures. Really.
