Blanching Before Peeling: One or two at a time, drop the tomatoes into a 3-quart saucepan of rapidly boiling water, bring rapidly back to the boil, and boil exactly 10 seconds. Immediately remove with a slotted spoon and drop them into a bowl of cold water. (Unless you have a caldron of boiling water, blanch no more than one or two at a time or they'll start to cook and will not peel cleanly.)
Peeling: Cut out the stem piece with a small knife, cut a 1/2-inch cross in the skin at the other end, and strip off the peel. (You may want to save the peels for a tomato sauce, since peel intensifies the red color as well as imparting a little flavor.)
Seeding and Juicing: You can cut a peeled tomato in half crosswise and, holding one half, cut side down, gently squeeze out juice and seeds, poking out the remaining seeds from the interstices with your little finger. This is fine for most purposes, like the tomato sauce in Lynne Rossetto Kasper's pasta. If you need fancy decorative arrangements of tomato, however, you'll want to follow the path below.
Fancy Cutting: When you need really neat dice or matchstick-size julienne, quarter the peeled tomato through the stem end and halve the quarters lengthwise into wedges. Lay each wedge flat on your work surface and skillfully slide your knife just under the pulp and seeds to remove them, leaving you with a smooth wedge of flesh which you can then cut any way you wish.
Saucing the Remains: Except for the stem pieces, save all remains for sauce; freeze them if you are not making one at the moment.

nakedpastor: Little-a Atheist
Related posts from Friendly Atheist:
David Hayward runs the blog nakedpastor as a graffiti artist on the walls of religion where he critiques religion… specifically Christianity and the church. He also runs the online community The Lasting Supper where people can help themselves discover, explore and live in spiritual freedom.
- http://squeakysoapbox.com/ Rich Wilson
Because toddlers have trouble enunciating Ts? I'm not sure I get it.
- gski
He is using the 'a' and the ish to denote a less than total commitment.
Like atheist-ish, not fully owning it yet.
- Clarissa
This is me. I love this.
Why not just let that be what agnostic means and not rag on people for using the term?
- fett101
Seems kind of juvenile.
I use little 'a' because atheism is not a religion. It's a non-belief in deities, nothing more. Any additional trimmings like skepticism, humanism, etc are just extensions that may commonly go along with that but are not exclusively related.
- joezamecki
Do you like the United States of America because it's a religion? It's capitalized… I hope you get the point.
- fett101
I capitalize the United States of America because it is a proper noun. Atheism is not a proper noun.
- Ggsillars
I don't think Dan Savage (originator of the term "monogamish") is atheish; I think he's pretty definite on that subject.
- Donaving
He's an an "Agnosto-Thiest, a sort of an Agnostic, Atheist hybrid…"
There's a beautiful story of how he came to that position.
- http://profile.yahoo.com/FVZZGUNKDN7SFK77ATIFMNNJJA Jeff Xeno
Thanks for the link. after watching it, I followed another link to an interview he did with Keith Olbermann on "The Book of Morman" where at the end, Dan owns his atheism.
- Ericka
Wow, that was potent. Made me cry.
- joezamecki
What's it mean? A less strong version of Atheism doesn't explain it. What does it mean?
- dauntless
It's because nakedpastor is a pastor. He posts his comics here because his ideals often line up with those of atheists. Unfortunately, he's full of magical thinking and unbridled mysticism. Anyone who doubts that just read about his "z-scheme" or his "personal relationship" with Jesus. One might say, oh, you know … evangelicish. Be warned, though.. just by going to his site, you'll be lining his pockets (the ultimate goal of all pastors) since the ads generate revenue for him for every site view.
- Erp
Was a pastor. He walked away from his church a couple of years ago, and, I would guess he isn't making much money (most artists earn very little from their art and I doubt his blog yields much). People do need a little bit of income to live.
I would also say he is a seeker and open about his seeking and his doubts.
Note that Hemant chooses to post his cartoons here because he finds them (or some of them) of worth (as do I). Some are open to multiple interpretations.
- jdm8
As noted, not an employed pastor anymore. Also, I don't think pastors are making the big money unless they head a megachurch or write best selling books. I think Red Headed Skeptic said she and her (now ex-) husband were making about minimum wage when they were co pastors in a church.
Dont assume that blogs make people a lot of money – that doesn't happen except for very popular ones. Web pages don't generate much money, probably not even a penny a page view, often it doesn't pay at all unless people click an ad. Web advertising is a buyer's market.
- http://annainca.blogspot.com/ Anna
I think he's on his way out, at least if his comics are any indication. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up becoming an atheist at some point down the road.
- dauntless
I would be surprised. He's been "atheish" for years now. He was recently talking about opening a new church, if I recall.
- Ndonnan
I think hes got a foot in both camps,that is wants the benefits of both,his facebook statement is something like "writing crap on the walls of religion",but heh ive got a diploma in biblical studies so i can call myself "pastor".Ive challenged him to come out but he only replys to compliments.
- Jesuswasafeminist
What do u think "don't throw your pearls before swine means?
- hoverFrog
The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. I explicitly do NOT make a claim that there are no gods. I make the claim that I have no belief in gods. I am sceptical as to the claim that godsGod exists. If some find that wishy washy or lacking commitment then that's tough because I'm not going to make claims that I cannot support if I can help it.
- AxeGrrl
meh. The word 'atheist' isn't normally capitalized anyway.
- articulett
I like this– it's perfect for the atheist not quite willing to commit to the label. (Send One to Neil Degrasse Tyson.)

The Ottawa Senators will reach back into their distant past when they take to the ice against the Vancouver Canucks for the 2014 NHL Heritage Classic.
The Senators will take to the ice at B.C. Place next March wearing a jersey that pays tribute to the Ottawa teams that won four Stanley Cup titles in an eight year span from 1920-27. According to the team, the sweater balances the past with the present, featuring historical elements with a modern look.
The jerseys feature a large "O" logo that is reminiscent of the team's look prior to 1934 as well as red and black stripes on a cream coloured background, which is also borrowed from the "Barber Poles" uniforms of the past.
The Canucks will pay homage to the Vancouver Millionaires, wearing jersey's they first debuted last season as part of a celebration of 100 years of hockey on the West Coast. The maroon and cream striped sweaters feature a large "Victory V" with the name Vancouver on the front.
The Heritage Classic on March 2nd is a tribute to the 1915 Stanley Cup match between the Millionaires, the champions of the PCHA, and the Senators, champions of the NHA. It marked the first time that the champions from each respective league faced one another for the Cup.
The Canucks will join the Edmonton Oilers (2003) and the Calgary Flames (2011) as Canadian teams to play host to the Heritage Classic. Not only will the event be the largest attended hockey game in British Columbia history, it will mark the first time in NHL history that an outdoor game will be played in a retractable-roof facility.Report Typo/Error

Lakeland Band concert includes world premieres
The world premiere of two new compositions – including one by a Lakeland College graduate – will be among the works performed at the Lakeland Winter Band Concert, set for 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 7. The event, held at Lakeland's Bradley Theatre, is free of charge and open to the public.
Lakeland's Director of Bands Chris Werner has selected a "New Kids on the Block" theme for the program, which also includes selections appropriate for young bands and pieces written by young or brand new composers.
Two special pieces are the world premieres, including a work by Wisconsin composer Larry Daehn that was written for the Lakeland Band, and a work by 1992 Lakeland graduate Daniel Seibel called "Three Nautical Motifs." The band will play parts of the Seibel piece at this concert, with a full premiere at the spring concert in April.
Werner said the piece by Seibel is in three movements, and the band is excited to debut portions of it during this concert.
"Given that it's a work composed by a Lakeland graduate, it takes on some special significance for us, and we're very happy he's chosen his alma mater to debut this work," Werner said.
Daehn's work, which is yet untitled, is a gift to the college and to Werner from the former band director at New Glarus, Wis. Werner and Daehn previously worked together through the National Band Organization, and when Daehn heard that Werner was diagnosed with cancer, he was motivated to compose this work as a gift.
"It's an incredibly generous gesture on his part, and we're honored to perform it," Werner said. "This work and the debut of Daniel Seibel's piece really make this a special concert for us."
Additional pieces in the program will include John Mackey's "Sheltering Sky," James Curnow's "Fanfare and Flourishes," Carter Pann's "Hold This Boy and Listen" and Steven Bryant's "The Machine Awakes," which uses amplified electronics.
The Feb. 7 concert will be the Lakeland band's second performance of the weekend. They are also playing on Feb. 6 in the Bradley Theatre as part of the convention of the Wisconsin Youth Band Directors Association. The WYBDA is hosting its honor band at Lakeland that day (Werner is one of the guest conductors with that honor band), and Lakeland's band is playing parts of the program as part of their concert.
VITA program again providing free tax preparation assistance
Lakeland College and Lakeshore Technical College are partnering again to help collect tax refunds for area residents who need it the most.
Students in the accounting program from each institution will provide free tax preparation and electronic filing for low income tax filers. This service is available through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), which is designed to help low-to-moderate income people file their tax returns. Schenck SC and Guaranty Bank are sponsoring the VITA program again this year.
Students from Lakeland will be available at the Sheboygan Salvation Army, 710 Pennsylvania Ave. The tax preparation service will be open on Thursdays from 5-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. starting Feb. 4 and ending April 7. The service is also available at LTC's Cleveland campus on Tuesday nights from 6-9 p.m. starting Feb. 2.
Last year, Lakeland and LTC students prepared and filed over 500 returns that helped local taxpayers collect approximately $1 million in refunds.
People interested in taking advantage of this free service must have income of less than $54,000 a year. Applicants must bring a photo ID; social security cards for themselves, their spouse and dependents; W-2 forms; 1099 forms; rent certificate or 2015 property tax bill; and a copy of their 2014 tax return. Returns cannot be done for those taxpayers having income from outside Wisconsin sources, those having complex tax returns, those having rental income, those who are non-U.S. residents and those who are married filing separately.
Reservations are required for the tax service and are being accepted now. The number to call for reservations at the Salvation Army is (920) 565-1000 ext. 2290. Phone calls are accepted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The number to call for reservations at LTC is (920) 693-1398. Phone calls for the LTC site are accepted between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Piwnica-Worms and Oduber Blast Off in 11-4 Drubbing
By Potomac Nationals | June 22, 2014 9:51 PM ET
Woodbridge, VA --- The Potomac Nationals (2-1, 1-0) pounded the Salem Red Sox (1-3, 1-3) on Sunday evening with an 11-4 win. LF Randolph Oduber and CF Will Piwnica-Worms each scorched their second home runs of the season in the win.
The P-Nats used a six-run third inning to get ahead early. Piwnica-Worms led off the inning with a tater to left field. 3B Oscar Tejeda brought in C Cole Leonida with a fielder's choice groundout. 1B Shawn Pleffner and Oduber followed with a pair of RBI-Singles before DH Khayyan Norfork delivered two more with a double.
The first eighth Nationals runs came off Red Sox starter LHP Cody Kukuk (L, 1-5). Leonida and RF Estarlin Martinez scored runs seven and eight in the fourth inning on a Tejeda walk and Pleffner sac fly.
RHP John Simms (W, 2-4) tossed five innings allowing four runs while striking out four to earn his second win of the year. Relievers RHP Brian Rauh and RHP Richie Mirowski combined to allow just one hit over the final four innings.
For Salem, C Carson Blair and 3B Jantzen Witte each collected a pair of singles and a run in the first four innings but were held hitless afterwards. With the stellar bullpen outings from Potomac, Salem never amounted any sort of comeback effort.
Oduber added some unnecessary insurance with a solo shot in the seventh followed by a 2B Tony Renda two-RBI single.
The Potomac Nationals Baseball Network, which is accessible at www.potomacnationals.com, will broadcast the second game of a three game series against Salem on Monday, June 23rd. Broadcast coverage will begin with the P-Nats Leadoff Show at 6:50pm in preparation for the 7:05pm first pitch. RHP Dakota Bacus (2-2, 3.63) will step up for the P-Nats, and the Red Sox will send RHP Justin Haley (5-2, 2.05) to the mound. It will be a Dollar Monday at The Pfitz when Bryce Harper and Wilson Ramos come to Woodbridge for their rehab appearances.
The Potomac Nationals of the Carolina League play at Pfitzner Stadium in Woodbridge, Virginia, and are the Class-A Advanced affiliate of the Washington Nationals. The Potomac Nationals have claimed four Carolina League Championship titles (1982, 1989, 2008, and 2010) and eight division championships. Most recently, the P-Nats earned a 2013 Carolina League Northern Division pennant. P-Nats 2014 season tickets and mini plans are now on sale. Sponsorship opportunities for the 2014 season and beyond are available. Plan your corporate outing now for the 2014 season to see the future stars of the Washington Nationals at The Pfitz as the P-Nats offer discounted group rates and all-inclusive picnic options.

My templates consistently rejected and all the same reasons. Is always the send the reviewer same message ?
Then I see at the newly released items : Font errors, typography issues and not very good designs…
I think there is a lawlessness. I did everything for 4 months but always the same message!
I doubt it very much. Try posting a link to your demo here and someone might be able to help you identify what is wrong
The issue being something YOU built is always going to look better than someone elses to yourself. When you learn how to overcome this you'll be able to see the differences in quality.
If you post a link we'll try and give you help on what to change
I mean : Envato team to be sensitive to this issue. Anyone can make a mistake, this is not a problem but I want everyone to be treated equally.
If you are getting the same generic message that means the item is hard rejected and beyond the number of things to be changed for reasonable detailed feedback. That's not really "lawlessness" more just policy.
As we said post a link to the demo here and I am sure people will be able to give you detailed constructive criticism and help increase your chances of approval
Thanks all. I am continue to work.
I cannot express myself fully :/
Best Regards
Why not share a link to your file that was rejected – maybe someone can help you identify where it can be improved?

Recently the debate about the age of consent has flared up in the United Kingdom again. Is 16 the right age or does it do harm to children and adults alike? An argument that I haven't seen raised very often, but one that I have believed in for a long time points out that the age of consent is a much more complex issue.
I'm 42 now and my attitude towards sex has changed and I'm confident in my sexuality. I'm also fully aware of the 'risks', and they are risks. I don't take my being HIV-negative for granted but I also don't allow a fear of HIV to stop me doing what I want to do. After twenty years I've finally realised that a penis isn't a murder weapon.

Keijser, manager of development at Brimos, an OEM of traffic guidance equipment based in the Netherlands, presented details of how the governing ministry for traffic in the Netherlands reviewed and selected CIP Networks, specifically EtherNet/IP, as the standard for vehicle detection, traffic density, and traffic lane signaler applications.
"The benefits of EtherNet/IP, including its basis on standard, unmodified Ethernet, its installed base, its object-oriented approach, and ODVA's global presence all were factors in the decision. The spirit of collaboration between competitors to advance these networks," Keijser said, "personally reaffirms this decision."
EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP, the two largest industrial Ethernet protocols are "merging values," says Cyril Perducat, senior vice president, system consistency at Schneider Electric , when discussing ODVA and CIP Networks' value to Schneider Electric's Transparent Ready business philosophy. "This cooperation merges the values of the two largest Industrial Ethernet protocols," he says, "reducing confusion in the marketplace and creating a de-facto standard for industrial Ethernet, which allows us to protect customers' investments and the installed base. The combination of EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP will deliver the fieldbus services necessary to achieve the promise of Ethernet from plant floor to the board room."
ODVA's global officers elected for upcoming terms include president: Doug McEldowney; executive director: Katherine Voss; treasurer: Steve Freedman; chief technology officer: Rich Harwell; and secretary: Katherine Voss. Dave Dodds of Numatics and Steve Freedman of Sick were re-elected by members to serve as directors on ODVA's Board. Jörgen Palmhager of HMS Industrial Networks was re-elected by members to serve as a representative on ODVA's Technical Review Board. Damien Leterrier of Woodhead Industries, a division of Molex, will join the Technical Review Board for his first term.
Training for new vendors and end-users during the three-day event included the first in a new series of seminars: "EtherNet/IP: Quick Start." Other presentations covered CompoNet, CIP Motion; CompoNet processor design; CIP Safety on SERCOS, EtherNet/IP media, international standards, CIP Safety for process applications, and DeviceNet low cost media.

Last week, the Pentagon kicked all reporters out of the Guantanamo Bay prison after the suicides of three detainees. But on Wednesday the Defense Dept. invited a Fox News analyst down to Cuba to tour the facility.
And what do you know? The Fox analyst described Gitmo as ?now gentle, almost child-like the way they treat the detainees.?
Think Progress:
Last week, the Pentagon ?shut down access entirely? to the Guantanamo Bay prison after the suicide deaths of three detainees. Journalists covering the suicides had their clearances revoked and were immediately flown back to the United States, and regular visits between detainees and their lawyers were cancelled. Human rights groups protested:
This press crackdown is the administration?s latest betrayal of fundamental American values. The Bush Administration is afraid of American reporters, afraid of American attorneys and afraid of American laws.
Afraid of American journalists, that is, as long as they?re not from Fox. This morning, Fox News analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano described how the Defense Department had personally invited him on a trip to Guantanamo on Wednesday:
From ThinkProgress
Judge Andrew Napolitano, a Fox News analyst, was personally invited by the Defense Department to tour the American detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba—after the military had kicked out all other reporters. Wonder why Fox got such nice treatment….

As were talking about Hulk Hogan, does anyone have that list of times he supposdely "politiked" out of stuff? Its a huge list that goes all the way back to like 1985.
Your looking for this but doesn't include TNA,
Credit: Burning Soul
1985 - Would Hogan be willing to work a program with Rick Steamboat if Steamboat agreed to turn heel? No. Give him Big John Studd instead.
1986 - Hogan-Savage is tentatively planned for WM 2, after the two had feuded in house shows which Savage had won by DQ or countout. Hogan nixes the idea of facing the dynamic, atheltic Savage at 'Mania, even though he would be booked to win. Hogan handpicks King Kong Bundy to embarass in a cage match. Savage wrestles George Steele far down the undercard.
1986 - Hogan agrees to work with Paul Orndorff, but won't do the job to him. Hogan agrees only because he is guarenteed a win at a huge event. He defeats Orndorff in a cage match on SNME to end the feud.
1987 - Hogan again turns down the idea of feuding with Savage; but suggests turning him face, so Hogan can step aside for awhile, film a movie and get some needed rest.
Savage turns face that summer.
1988 - Hogan agrees to "drop" the belt to Andre, but only under questionable circumstances to preserve his character. Hogan agrees to "give the rub" to Savage at WM IV. Hogan only agrees because he is promised he will get the title back at WM 5.
1988 - Six months later, as Savage is having a successful run, Hogan suggests putting them together as a team "Mega Powers" and they headline Summerslam. Hogan is no longer the champion - but still in the main event.
1989 - Hogan finally meets Savage at Wrestlemania V. Hogan beats him for the title. Rather than face Savage in the anticipated rematch at Summerslam, or a program with Rick Rude as creative suggests - Hogan deccides to go a different route.
Hogan suggests a tag team match, pitting himself and his close friend Brutus Beefcake, against Savage and an ACTOR, Tiny Lister who played Zeus in the Hogan film "No Holds Barred". The film opened that summer to decent business, so Hogan uses a WWE PPV to promote the film, while "giving the rub" to his friend Beefcake.
1990 - Hogan agrees to drop the belt to Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania. Only with a guarentee of an extended break and the promise he would get the title back. A month after 'Mania, Hogan is "attacked" by Earthquake and off TV for a few months. After teasing retirement on TV, Hogan returns at Summerslam as "Immortal" and vanquishes his good friend John Tenta (Earthquake).
1990 - To preserve the Warrior character, creative decides he will drop the title to someone OTHER than Hogan. Despite the allure of a Hogan/Warrior rematch - Randy Savage is rumoured to be the man Warrior will drop the belt to at Royal Rumble '91. Hogan suggests Sgt Slaughter. Slaughter has just returned as an "Iraqi sympathizer" and Hogan pushes for Slaughter to beat Warrior, then he can beat Slaughter to regain the belt.
1991 - Hogan defeats Slaughter a few months after "Desert Storm" starts. He waves his flag and defeats the Iraqi villan at Wrestlemania. After headlining Wrestlemania for the past two years, Savage and Warrior are reduced to the undercard.
1991 - Hogan again decides against a rematch with Warrior at Summerslam, and suggests they team together against Slaughter & The Iron Shiek. Six months after he had beaten Slaughter for the belt, he feels the feud is not over and that fans will tune in to watch him team with Warrior against "the enemy".
1991 - Hogan agrees to drop the title to Undertaker, but refuses to do a clean job to him. Ric Flair interferes in the match with a chair and 'Taker gets the win.
1992 - McMahon decides that Flair will win the title at Royal Rumble, then drop the title to Hogan in a "dream match" at Wrestlemania VIII. Hogan decides he wants to take another extended break after 'Mania. He suggests Flair drop the title to Savage instead and he can work with Sid Vicious and "give him the rub".
Despite the fact that Flair/Savage is the WWE Title match, it is placed in the middle of the show. Hogan and the lumbering Sid Vicious close the show. The first time the WWE Champion has not been in the main event of Wrestlemania.
1993 - Hogan agrees to return to team with Brutus Beefcake against Money Inc. at Wrestlemania and it appears to be the first time he will NOT be in the main event.
When Hogan learns that WWE Champion Bret Hart is scheduled to drop the title to Yokozuna, he informs McMahon that this will be the first Wrestlemania that a face doesn't win the main event and the "people aren't gonna like it". Hogan suggests "surprising" the audience by challenging Yoko immediately afterward and beating him to win the WWE Title. Vince McMahon agees. Hogan beats Yoko to regain the title.
1993 - McMahon and WWE creative suggests Hogan and Bret Hart engage in a face vs face match at Summerslam that will see Hogan "pass the torch" to Hart and drop the title.
Hogan turned the idea down, and agreed to drop the title back to Yokozuna, who in turn would drop it to Hart at SS. Some critics believe, however, that Hogan simply didn't want to drop the title to the new flagship of the company.
Hogan drops the belt to Yoko at KOTR (but doesn't drop it cleanly), while WWE goes with the failed Lex Luger "US Express" idea. Hogan leaves WWE two months later and does not appear at Summerslam.
1994 - Hogan signs with WCW after being courted by Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff. Hogan insisted on "complete creative control" over the Hulk Hogan character and a certain perrcentage of EACH PPV TOTAL REVENUE.
1994 - A three match series is planned with Hogan/Flair. Hogan would win the first, Flair would regain it and Hogan would win the finale. All parties agree.
Hogan wins the WCW World Title from Ric Flair in his first match back in a year. When the time comes for Flair to regain the title, Hogan refuses, saying the fans "weren't ready for him to drop it".
Flair later admits in his book, that fans were already booing Hogan at shows, but that WCW was dubbing in a "cheering crowd soundtrack".
The subsequent PPVs featuring Flair/Hogan fail to sell.
1994 - Hogan negotiates for former WWE stars and Hogan allies Brutus Beefcake, Earthquake and Typhoon to join WCW.
Creative suggests Hogan face Sting in a face vs face "dream match" at Starrcade. Hogan decides it makes better sense for him to face Beefcake as the heel, "The Butcher". The PPV flops.
1995 - Hogan convinces Randy Savage to leave WWE and join WCW. Instead of starting a feud between the two former WWE Champions, Hogan insists on teaming with Savage against Kevin Sullivan and his 3 Faces of Fear.
1995 - Hogan agrees to work with Vader, but the program soon falls apart when both acuse the other of "not selling for the other".
Fans are steadily losing interest in WCW. The company begins to falter seriously, as executives point at the Hogan contract and "creative control" agreement as being a main culprit. Hogan takes extended time off - but remains the highest paid man on the roster.
1996 - With WCW desperate to compete with WWE, WCW signs Hall and Nash and plot the NWO angle. Hogan is booked to turn heel and he agrees. The angle is a smash. Within weeks, Hogan wins the World Title from The Giant.
Instead of milking fresh matchups as a heel, Hogan decides that WCW should bring in Roddy Piper. Despite the possibility of a Starrcade matchup with Lex Luger or The Giant - Hogan faces Piper in a cage match in the main event. Hogan puts over Piper via the sleeperhold, in a NON-TITLE match.
1997 - Hogan feuds with Piper and Savage, while turning down suggestions he put over Luger or Diamond Dallas Page for the title. He appears weekly, but rarely wrestles on TV, while still remaining the highest paid star in WCW.
1997 - In his much hyped Starrcade match with Sting, it was decided that Hogan would beat Sting after an alleged "fast count" by referee Nick Patrick. WCW's newly contracted Bret Hart would accuse Patrick and have the match restarted with Sting winning by submission.
Hogan reportedly paid off referee Patrick, to count normally and make it look like Hogan had pinned Sting cleanly. When this DID happen, the planned finish played out - but fans booed because it was clearly botched and made Sting look bad.
1998 - Hogan agreed to put over Goldberg cleanly on Nitro, but with the condition that Karl Malone & DDP get involved to prompt a Hogan/Dennis Rodman team to debut on PPV at Bash At The Beach. Hogan promoted the match on "The Tonight Show" and later teamed with Bischoff against DDP and Jay Leno HIMSELF!
The Hogan celebrity tag team matches stole all the attention while WCW Champion Goldberg was all but ignored.
1999 - After six months without the title, and still being the top guy, Hogan regained the title from Kevin Nash in the "Fingerpoke of Doom" incident. Openly flaunting his creative control clause. He would lose the title, but not cleanly to Ric Flair.
When the NWO angle began to lose serious steam, Hogan turned face again. Randy Savage had recently turned heel and regained the WCW Title.
Once again, this time conviently as a face, Hogan defeated Savage to regain the title.
Despite having names like Hart, Luger and Sting to work with Savage - the title went baclk to Hogan. At his request.
2000 - Hogan begins feuding with WCW booker Vince Russo over how he's being used. Russo wanted to push younger stars and to appease Russo only, Hogan worked with young Billy Kidman.
When a WCW Title match with Jeff Jarrett was booked, Russo had Jarrett winning. Hogan refused, because his contract with WCW was almost up and he feared Russo wouldn't use him on future PPV events. Meaning Hogan would lose out on serious cash.
Russo pulled a swerve on Hogan by having Jarrett lay down for him intentionally. Hogan did so, winning the belt - then was immeditaely stripped of it.
Hogan was never seen in WCW again.
2002 - Hogan accepts an offer to return to WWE and reunite the original NWO, with the understanding he would be in a featured match with The Rock at Wrestlemania X8.
Hogan scored a huge deal from WWE, and agreed to put over The Rock. He suggests they close the show as he felt "they had drawn the crowd" - but McMahon and specifically Triple H refuse to put the WWE Title match in a secondary role.
Hogan is later booked to win the title from Triple H, but is dissapointed when it comes with the condition he drop it to Undertaker a month later.
After being booked to lose to Kurt Angle at KOTR 2002, Hogan decided he needed time off again. Despite only having been back for all of four months.
Hogan is convinced to stay long enough to get in a quick tag team championship win with Edge. He is then asked to put over Brock Lesnar, which he does.
He is dissatisfied with his role, because he isn't be portrayed the way "he thought he would". He takes another "extended break" after the Lesnar match.
2003 - He returns at the request of Vince McMahon and the promise of a big Wrestlemania payday. Their street fight is a featured match on the card.
With the WWE Title now revolving around much younger wrestlers, Hogan is frustrated by Creatives decision to book him in a secondary role on Smackdown and he leaves WWE again.
2004 - Hogan is openly courted by TNA Wrestling, but the deal hits a snag when Hogan was reportedly told he would have to put over Jarrett at some point. Hogan begins to complain of "knee problems" as the deal falls apart.
2005 - Hogan is inducted into the Hall of Fame, and agrees to the idea of a Hogan/Shawn Michaels match at Summerslam.
McMahon proposes two matches, with each winning one. Hogan agrees.
After spending all of his comeback as a face, HBK agrees to turn heel to sell the match.
Michaels carries a clearly laboring Hogan through a decent match at Summerslam, and HBK does the clean job to Hogan.
The second match in the series is called off, when Hogan began to complain "his knee was acting up again".
Hence, the Hogan win over HBK stands as their one and only meeting.
2005 - Hogan proposes the "Dream Match" scenario of Hogan vs Steve Austin to WWE Creative for Wrestlemania. Austin says no - citing the HBK scenario at Summerslam. He refuses to put Hogan over.
2006 - Hogan is asked to appear at Summerslam and face Randy Orton. He agrees with the rumoured condition that WWE pushes his daughter Brooke's debut CD.
Instead of putting over "The Legend Killer", Hogan flexes his "creative control".
Despite being 53, having wrestled one match in over a year, and bad knees, Hogan defeats the 26 year old former World Champion via clean pinfall

Hotline's On Call blog has polled all but one of the Republican National Committee's 168 members and reports there's no definitive favorite to win the chairman's race. The committee votes Friday at its winter meeting in Washington.
The incumbent, Mike Duncan, leads the field of six with 25 solid votes, On Call's Jennifer Skalka writes. Here's her summary of the state of play:
Duncan, who has presided over the GOP since January 2007, leads the pack with 25 committed supporters. He is trailed by (former) Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, who is backed by 17 members; South Carolina Party chairman Katon Dawson, 12 supporters, Michigan Party chairman Saul Anuzis, 11 supporters; and former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, with 10. Chip Saltsman, who led Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign, does not have a solid vote, according to On Call's reporting.
Meanwhile, one member each said he or she is inclined to support Dawson, Saltsman and Steele.
By On Call's count, 29 members are undecided, and 60 did not respond. The survey was conducted over the last 10 days.
(The Massachusetts GOP is electing a new chairman this week, so that person could not be included in our tally.)

text: I'm newer to the world of conceal carry having just finished my course last saturday, and I was wondering what kind of cover garments people use. I've seen some vests, but unless you are a tourist or a photographer they don't look like something I could wear and pull off. I'm only 23, so I need something to wear that doesn't cause people to ask questions why I'm wearing it. I work in a casual environment just to give people an idea. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

With all of the new and modern 1911 models, I was just wondering what you guys thought of the Colt Combat Commander, series 80 pistol. Does it still hold weight in the 1911 world of self defense and military combat, or has it been left too far behind?
You can add the fancy doo dads to your commander for a LOT less than buying a new 1911. Just specify comander size when ordering parts cuz some things are a little different than the full size 1911.And if you dont know what you're doing really, find a decent gunsmith so ya dont get yourself (or others) hurt.
Sell it go get you a plastic gun if you like black that much.
Colt Commanders Rock!
Favorite carry piece.
Here is a pic of my BELOVED 70 Series Combat Commander in .38 Super.
I have gone into harm's way carrying this piece when I was still a cop, then again as a federal officer working in Panama.
NEVER feel left behind or outgunned packing a Commander.
"NEVER feel left behind or outgunned packing a Commander."
+1 Sean
Install S-A high rise grip safety, Esmeralda thin rosewood grips.
Very nice looking Commander Gene. I have his big brother in 5".
She charge me 90.00 for grips last year, might be cheaper know little high but she turns out great grips.
Don't know anything on prices on redoing the finish this is the same finish that came on mine, bought new last year.
Yes i have look at some while surfing the 1911 grips don't remember what sight.

EDITOR—Stewart et al studied deaths related to intrapartum asphyxia in Wales and found that mortality was higher in babies born at night; during the holiday months of July and August; during February and August, when junior staff rotate to new posts; and towards the end of the week (although the latter two measures were not significant).1 We have attempted to replicate their study, using records relating to births in Scotland during the same period (1993-5). Because of differences between Scottish and Welsh schools' academic terms, …

Wow, that was fast. Everything crumbled for Brigham Young - the 16-game winning streak, the top 10 ranking and any suggestion of a smooth ride into the Bowl Championship Series - and the crash came with stunning ferocity and velocity in Thursday's 32-7 loss to Texas Christian.
All night, the Horned Frogs looked like they were playing at a different speed. They hounded BYU quarterback Max Hall into four turnovers and baffled the BYU defense with a varied package of runs and passes in a beating that was a perfect convergence of the Cougars' sloppy play and a vintage TCU performance.
The Frogs were primed for this game "since January," coach Gary Patterson said, and they were relentless, jumping on the Cougars early and keeping them down. BYU's first three drives ended with a fumble, a fourth-down stop and an interception, while TCU went touchdown, touchdown, field goal.
The Cougars never recovered. Two years after an upset of a nationally ranked TCU team was a significant checkpoint in Bronco Mendenhall's building of the BYU program, the coach grimly climbed the steps toward the locker room, blaming himself.
"They were sharper in every phase of the game. . . . That comes down to simply coaching and preparation," he said later.
That's part of it, anyway. BYU hoped to overcome the Frogs' athletic advantage with precise play, but that certainly did not happen.
So TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium, named after a newspaper publisher, was once again home to some stop-the-presses news. In a venue where Utah's 18-game winning streak was stopped by TCU in 2005 and TCU's 13-game run was ended by BYU in '06, the Cougars' ride of 16 games overall and 18 in Mountain West Conference play ran into a purple-and-black wall.
The after-effects?
We'll know more when the first BCS standings of the season are published Sunday, but BYU obviously is the big loser at the moment - and so, potentially, is the Mountain West. The winner might be Boise State. It could become a case where the MWC schools - with Utah hosting both the Frogs and Cougars next month - knock each other out and push Boise State into the one BCS slot promised to an outsider that finishes in the top 12.
"We still have a shot for whatever we're going for . . . you never know what can happen," said BYU receiver Austin Collie.
Nobody among the Cougars could be sure what all was lost Thursday, exactly, but they knew it was painful.
"You never want to lose like that, especially when you have as high expectations as our team has and as hard as we work," said defensive end Jan Jorgensen. "It just feels horrible."
While BYU's demise is naturally being celebrated in Uteville, there has to be just a little bit of fear associated with the Frogs' Nov. 6 visit.
Seriously, was TCU supposed to be this good? The Frogs were dissected by Oklahoma for 416 passing yards and 35 points. BYU is not Oklahoma; that much we know. Maybe nobody in the Mountain West can play with the Big 12's elite, which is an issue that may or may not be addressed in the Fiesta Bowl.
Clearly, BYU did not even belong on the same field with TCU. The Frogs confused, rattled and frustrated the Cougars. Quarterback Andy Dalton picked on BYU's cornerbacks with sideline patterns, a direct snap to receiver Jeremy Kerley worked nearly every time, and TCU sustained long drives.
Offensively, BYU was not itself in the first half, and the Cougars' recovery was only mild. BYU could not find any rhythm until its first possession of the second half, and even that drive was almost counter-productive - cutting the lead to 26-7, but taking seven minutes.
In short, this was everything you thought could happen to BYU in Fort Worth, but did not figure would happen.
So what happens now?
There's a lot of football left, but already, BYU is in a very awkward position: Amid their own recovery process, the Cougars have to cheer for Utah to beat TCU.

Paris squat artists see red as community spirit in peril
By Tara Oakes
PARIS (Reuters) - Artists at one of the most-visited hubs of contemporary art in Paris are in a battle with city hall to preserve the status quo at their "aftersquat", where visitors can freely view 30 painters and sculptors in the throes of the creative process.
The artists, who have traveled from as far away as Japan and the United States to set up in the former illegal squat, say a plan to reduce the number of permanent workshops in order to have more artists move through will kill the family spirit of the site, now leased and legal for several years.
After a damning audit of the premises last year, city officials want to cut the number of permanent artists at 59 rue de Rivoli, a busy central shopping street, to 15 from the 20 who are based there today along with 10 visiting creatives.
A failure to reach an agreement on terms of the lease renewal by the end of May could leave the artists occupying the building without legal claim or authority -- meaning the 'aftersquat" would be a squat once more.
"It's a numbers game -- they want to say more artists come here but artists are capable of better things when they have investment in a place," said Gaspard Delanoe, co-founder of the original squat and now president of the 59 Rivoli Association.
City officials, whose audit slammed the 'aftersquat' for lacking transparency in distributing work spaces and other issues that ran against the terms of the lease, say they are "disappointed and shocked" at the rejection of their proposal.
They say nobody would be forced to leave, but that five permanent artists would be gradually replaced with temporary creatives on a one-year basis as they left of their own accord.
"There are other artists who could manage a place like that with more transparency," said a representative of the city, declining to be quoted by name. Continued...

2010 BEST New Restaurant (City)
Meat pops up in dishes here and there chorizo nestled among steamed clams, bits of chicken skin (!) scattered in a salad but it's a seafood-lover's paradise at chef/owner Mike Stollenwerk's Rittenhouse spot. Fans of Stollenwerk's previous restaurant, Little Fish, which closed earlier this year, might recognize a few dishes (and the attentive servers), but there are plenty of new and utterly delicious ones to make this larger, liquor-licensed location a star on its own. You haven't had skate until you've had Fish's version over truffled spaetzle with parmesan broth and melted leeks, although you really can't go wrong with any of the inventive fish fare.

What is Speak for Yourself?
Speak for Yourself is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) application that was created by speech-language pathologists. This AAC app turns the iPad into a communication device to give a voice to adults and children who are not able to speak or are limited in their ability to express themselves verbally.
Speak for Yourself is being used by thousands of individuals around the world with autism, cerebral palsy, apraxia, and genetic syndromes. It is also being used in preschool classrooms to promote word-finding, visual language support, and verbal speech development.
Find out more about the evidence-based research behind Speak for Yourself and the features that make it a favorite among speech-language pathologists, parents, AAC users, and teachers!

Although the definition was quite nice, it is definitely a holding gel as it was difficult to break the twists apart. I also used this in conjunction with the Original...I still did not see a major difference other than the fact that my hair was "harder". That is not what I am looking for. I think this product is better suited for looser curl patterned hair.

2014 Battle of Malta Jumps to Bigger, State-of-the-Art Venue
The 2014 €500k-GTD Battle of Malta already got a significant boost to its prizepool. Now it's getting a boost to its venue as well.
Outgrowing its previous space after a record-breaking 2013 this year's Battle of Malta will move to the world-class Grand Master's Suite at the Portomaso/Hilton casino complex.
The Grand Master's Suite is one of the largest conference rooms in Malta with capacity for well over 1,000 players. It's equipped with theater lighting, a viewing gallery, state-of-the-art sound system and a centerpiece stage.
The stage will host a feature table to showcase big-name pros and aspiring players climbing their way to the top of the chip counts. It's the first time the Battle of Malta will have a feature table.
€500k GTD, VIP Parties, The Amazing Maria Ho
The 2014 Battle of Malta has quickly become one of the best-value poker tournaments in Europe with a reasonable €550 buy-in but a massive €500,000 prize pool.
This year's winner will likely walk away with over $100,000 USD in what will likely be the biggest tournament ever held in Malta.
The emphasis at BOM, though, is still about having fun and poker players will be treated to tons of VIP perks, a beautiful location in sunny Malta and a pro-tour-feel tournament all for €550.
The amazing and effervescent Maria Ho will also take over hosting duties this year. The former Amazing Race contestant and 2007 WSOP Last Woman Standing takes the reins from ESPN's Kara Scott, who'll be busy at the Nov. 9.
Sign Up Now for Big Early Bird Discounts
While the BOM is already an incredible value on the European poker circuit, if you register for the event now you get significant deals on discounted packages.
For €1,300 early-bird entries will currently receive:

- €550 buy-in to the €500,000 GTD Battle of Malta Main Event 2014

Who will buy a cow if the milk is free?" These are the words that a man (age 60+) spoke in my presence about the plans of a younger woman (age 20+) to live with her boyfriend without getting engaged or married. The words made me nauseous.
Women are not like cows. Sex is not like milk.
Viewed in an historic context, marriage has been the legally- and socially-sanctioned means by which women exchange access to their bodies for physical and/or economic security. As the cow analogy goes, then, a man has no interest in protecting (i.e., marrying) a woman from whom he receives "free" (i.e., non-marital) sex. This construction of sex as a bargained-for exchange is not only a relic of the past. It has its contemporary supporters, too. In Hard Bargains: The Politics of Sex (1998), self-identified feminists Linda Hirschman and Jane Larson suggest that "by forcing the stronger player to bargain with the weaker for an explicit consent, we begin to ensure mutuality as a condition for all adult sexual exchanges." Viewed this way, sex is a commodity that may be more or less "mutual," depending on the relative strength of the parties' bargaining positions. Let the market do what it may.
Catharine MacKinnon has described women's sexuality as "that which is most one's own, yet most taken away." On a macro level, MacKinnon has it right. When we we are bombarded by billboards and advertisements displaying women's undressed and distressed bodies, women's sexuality is expropriated from a human being into commerce and titillation. Even if a particular woman in an advertisement consents to such portrayal (or at least gets a "good deal" as the result of a bargained-for exchange), the woman's undressed and distressed body becomes the (usually unrealistic) standard for what is arousing to men. Women try to emulate these bodies. We claim we "like" these bodies, too. We think they are "sexy," too.
I make a tentative and contextual modification to MacKinnon's analysis. In my view, in relationships of near-as-possible economic and emotional parity, sex can fall on any point on a continuum from unilateral giving to unilateral taking. For some of us, our experiences cluster in the middle. For some of us, our experiences do not. But in the relationships I describe, sex occurs rarely at one extreme, the precise midpoint or even a fixed point at all. It is something we give. It is something we take.
Sex is not like milk. Women are not like cows.

Scott Kennedy – Director of Scouting
I feel like this class lacks the premier defensive end that we've had in the past. JaDaveon Clowney, Robert Nkemdiche, Mario Edwards, Noah Spence, etc... but there are a lot of players who have the potential to be that type of player. Lorenzo Carter has the potential, but the production hasn't always been there against top offensive linemen. I think Chad Thomas has the potential to be the best end at this game and in the country, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in person again.
Greg Biggins – National Recruiting Analyst (West)
Casey Tucker is rated the top tackle out West and shows up very well on film. This will be my first time seeing him in person so I'm curious to see how well he moves around, how tough he is physically and how he holds up against some of the unreal athleticism coming off the edge in both the practices and the game itself.
Brian Dohn – National Recruiting Analyst (Northeast)
On the offensive line, it's uncommitted four-star tackle Damian Prince of Forestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara. I haven't seen him as much as the other lineman in the region in this game, and I want to see if he can keep his intensity for the week of practice and the game. On the defensive side, I cannot wait to see defensive tackle Andrew Brown from Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Brown and a Virginia commit. He is a five-star prospect, and yet I think he is underappreciated outside of the region.
Brandon Huffman – National Recruiting Analyst (West)
Bryan Mone is the No. 1 defensive tackle prospect in the West and a four-star prospect who's one of the elite players in the region. Mone didn't do many of the elite national or regional camps this offseason so he's been a guy we've had to rely solely on film (which has been great). Seeing Mone on the national stage, though, will be a great opportunity for him to cement himself as the West's top defensive tackle.
Jamie Newberg – National Recruiting Analyst (Florida)
Which prospect on the offensive or defensive line from your region are you most looking forward to see throughout the week? I am going with Cameron Robinson (West Monroe, La.) here. I thought he was the best prospect at the Opening. And I would say that he was hands down the top recruit there. I want to see if I will believe the same after the Army week. He certainly has everything you look for in the prototype, franchise left tackle. Robinson is committed to Alabama.
Greg Powers – National Recruiting Analyst (Midlands)
Myles Garrett may be the most physically impressive specimen in the country. He has steadily climbed towards the top of the Midlands rankings as he has made the transition to becoming a complete player as a senior. He earned Scout.com All-Midlands honors after racking up 19.5 sacks in 2013. He uses his superior quicks and rushing ability to fly past slower offensive linemen. He could be in the hunt to be the top player in Texas, where he is currently rated fourth.
Chad Simmons – National Recruiting Analyst (Southeast)
I have seen him many times, but I have to say Cameron Robinson. You just do not see guys like Robinson very often. He looks like a collegiate offensive lineman today and he will be enrolling soon at Alabama, but he still has one high school game left. He plays in a run-oriented offense in high school, so seeing him go against top defensive ends in pass-pro is something I will be watching.
