text: There might not be anyone watching and the winner will probably disappear into nowhere but the three judges of American Idol and Ryan Seacrest will be back earning more money than the GNP for some small countries. For a 14th season Ryan will be back and Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr and Keith Urban have all signed on for next season. With Matt Lauer signing an extension at Today and no word on a CNN job yet, Ryan will be doing his best to work more hours than anyone on earth while at the same time making sure his frosted locks are buried in Kris Jenner's rear. I can't even listen to his radio show here any longer because of the way he promotes that family. I know he makes a ton of money off each season of the show, but at this point does he need to talk about them everyday?

If you're an author, you'll notice some small changes to the author dashboard today.
The upload box and item comments have both received some tweaks.
You will see more changes around the author dashboard in the coming weeks as we improve author tools and make it easier to sell on the marketplaces!
good job ! the new changes look smart
awesome work ,thank
i just feel uncomfortable at this moment, but i think soon i will be familiarize for that new dashboard, good job .
Thanks guys Love updates!
this URL dont work .
This update was a terrible decision.
Something I do multiple times every day: check and answer item comments.
Something I never do multiple times per day: upload new items.
The priority here is totally backwards, and this especially sucks on mobile devices. I check my dashboard regularly while on the go and this ill-conceived redesign just added another 10 swipes to my day. The dashboard already had awful usability for smartphones and this has made it worse.
Why aren't the Envato devs working on things that actually matter? Like searchable item comments or a mobile dashboard?
when i click to "make all as read" then
i got page not found
Here also like it show Not Found!

Robert Mugabe
Name at birth: Robert Gabriel Mugabe
Robert Gabriel Mugabe was the first prime minister of independent Zimbabwe -- formerly South Rhodesia -- where he established one-party rule and became executive president in 1987. Once a teacher in North Rhodesia and Ghana, he became involved in nationalist politics in the late 1950s. Mugabe was "detained" by the white government of Ian Smith for his actions (1964-74), and after his release helped lead the armed struggle for independence. He was named Prime Minister of the newly formed Zimbabwe in 1980 and re-elected in 1985. He was named Executive President in December of 1987, after the post of prime minister was abolished. By 1989 he'd managed to unite the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) to become the unchallenged boss. A hero of the struggle to end white rule, Mugabe's early reputation as a grassroots leader has eroded after three decades of autocratic rule, and his advanced age has led to much speculation about who will succeed him.

ASP Elite Take On Next Generation in Round 1 Of Nike US Open of Surfing
Gabriel Medina (BRA), current No. 19 on the ASP World Ranking, earns the highest heat-total of Round 1 Nike US Open of Surfing competition.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (Tuesday, August 2, 2011) – Round 1 of the ASP PRIME Nike US Open of Surfing saw several elite ASP Top 34 surfers clash against the leaders of the next generation in consistently changing one-to-three foot (.5 metre) waves at Huntington Beach Pier.
The 2011 Nike US Open of Surfing represents the last ASP PRIME contest before the midyear cutoff for the elite ASP World Title Series, making the event crucial for surfers' qualification campaigns for the back half of the year.
Gabriel Medina (BRA), 17, unleashed his patented aerial-surfing and progressive turns on the wedgy Huntington lefthanders to ignite the day's highest heat total of 16.73 out of 20 to start the Nike US Open of Surfing in sharp form. "That was a tough heat," Medina said. "It's kind of hard to get a good one, but I got two 8s and I made it, so I'm stoked."
Medina (above) is currently No. 19 on the men's ASP World Ranking, is in excellent position to join the elite ASP Top 34 at the midyear cut and is trying not to put too much pressure on himself to perform at the final ASP PRIME event before the switch. "I'm not really thinking about it, I just want to do well in all of the contests," Medina said. "I want to have fun and hopefully I can qualify at the midway point in the year."
Richard Christie (NZL), 22, displayed powerful, committed surfing on the small peaky waves at Huntington Beach to take a Round 1 win while posting the day's highest single-wave score of an 8.93 (out of 10). The New Zealander's victory came over reigning ASP World Junior Champion Jack Freestone (AUS), 19, ASP World Title campaigner Damien Hobgood (Satellite Beach, FL), 32, and former US Open of Surfing Winner Nathaniel Curran (Oxnard, CA), 26. "I'm just having a go and trying to get some scores and I'm stoked to get through that one," Christie said. "I was just trying to find a good wave and surf it the way I would usually surf it and not get too wigged out by the crowd and it seemed to work."
Taj Burrow (AUS), 33, was one elite ASP World Title Campaigner to ignite the challenging conditions on both his forehand and backhand to take a convincing Round 1 victory and the veteran campaigner enjoys competing against the next generation of talent at events such as the Nike US Open of Surfing. "I luckily started with a pretty decent wave out the back and finished up in the shore-pound," Burrow said. "It's great surfing against the young guys. They're flying high out there. They're really light on their feet and can do every trick in the book—I love it. I want to go out there and mix it up with them in these small little waves. It's always a challenge and I love surfing with those guys."
Patrick Gudauskas (above), 25, took to his backhand to unload a flurry of tail-drifting turns on a series of wedgy lefthanders to garner a 16.33 out of 20 heat score, one of the day's highest, to advance alongside brother Tanner Gudauskas, 23, in their Round 1 heat. "I don't think we teamed up against those guys," Gudauskas said. "We were looking at the heat draw and it was a bummer that we were in the same heat. You're hoping to be in the Finals together maybe, but not Round 1. Those guys are such good surfers and there were so many waves being ridden that you couldn't really team up."
Kelly Slater (Cocoa Beach, FL), 39, former US Open of Surfing Champion, won his Round 1 heat with a buzzer-beating wave and unloaded a variety of ferocious forehand turns to earn an 8.50 for the ride to overtake Jano Belo (BRA) 28, for the win. "There were waves breaking outside the heat before and there were only a few in our heat so it was a little tough," Slater said. "Days like this, it's a lot of luck, you've just got to catch the right waves. I tried to plan that one at the end. I could have gone on the one before, but that one looked a little bit bigger and had that little peak up against the pier."
Evan Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, FL), 17, Nike US Open of Surfing Wildcard, was dangerous on both his forehand and backhand and issued a major upset when he defeated elite ASP World Tour surfer Michel Bourez (PYF), 25, in Round 1. "I lost my Junior heat and I'm just stoked to have another chance in the main event," Geiselman said. "I'm looking forward to the rest of the week and I'm having fun out here. The more heats I get to surf out here the better, I love it."
Tomorrow's action will see the completion of ASP PRIME Round 1 action as well as the first half of Round 2. Also surfing will be the elite ASP Top 17 in Round 3.
LIVE webcast of the Nike US Open of surfing will run from August 1 through 7, 2011 via www.usopenofsurfing.com

South Carolina bill would make it a crime to implement ObamaCare
The Supreme Court may have ruled ObamaCare is constitutional, but implementing the controversial federal law would become a crime in South Carolina if a bill passed by the state House becomes law.
The bill, approved Wednesday by a vote of 65-39, declares President Obama's signature legislation "null and void." Whereas the law that Obama pushed and Congress passed is known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, South Carolina's law would be known as the Freedom of Health Care Protection Act.

It's horrifying getting separated from your kid in a crowd.
Yet it happens all the time.
Parents get distracted. Kids wander off.
Panic sets in.
Baltimore mom Michele Welsh was overwhelmed when she took her three small children to a busy theme park, So, she wrote her cell number on their arms with a ballpoint pen. Just in case.
The ink smeared so she had to redo it several times. Still, other parents noticed and said it was a great idea.
She created a line of waterproof tattoos, SafetyTat, in bright and fun designs, such as rockets and butterflies.
The tattoos begin with "If lost, please call …" Kits come with special pens to fill in phone numbers. Parents can create custom tattoos online with printed phone numbers and smartphone QR codes.
The temporary tattoos are easy to adhere and stay on until properly removed.
Safety Tat products include tattoos that list allergies or medical alerts for children to wear when going places without their parents, such as to birthday parties, field trips and camps. There is space on the tattoo to specify the allergy.
"Insanely useful" is how one blogger described SafetyTat.
Other companies also market identity and medical tattoos.
You might want to pick some up for your parents, too.
For more information see www.safetytat.com.
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; email@example.com
Safety tips
Going to a theme park or crowded festival? Here are some tips to keep kids safe.
Have a game plan: Talk about what to do if someone gets lost — stay put or find a park worker or another mother with children.
Take a photo of each child to show what they're wearing. That makes it easier to spot if separated.
Stand out in the crowd. Distinguish your family from others by wearing bright colors or patterns or matching shirts. Tie a balloon or ribbon to the stroller.
Do not put your child's name on the safety tattoo. You don't want strangers to know your child's name.

I've been looking into the possibility of deploying the BB/PB as a BT machine.
After searching for hours trying to find out which wireless chip set the PB uses I found this link that threw-up some interesting info. It apparently uses the WiLink 7.0 WL1283 from TI.
From there I went to the TI web-site and found the link below that does mention something about 'injection of custom IEs'.
If it is possible to over-come the initial challenges of installing BT on a tablet, does any one know if this has the making of a potential candidate as a BT machine?

Patty Klein is one of the prolific scriptwriters of comics in The Netherlands. She started her career in 1966, when she took a job at the Marten Toonder Studios after quitting her biology studies. Together with Andries Brandt, she wrote for nearly all Toonder's productions of the time. She worked on strips like 'Horre, Harm en Hella', 'Panda', 'Ole en Kreutel', 'Bartje en Opa' and 'Polletje Pluim', but also on assignments for the foreign market (Kauka's 'Fix und Foxi' in Germany and 'Pelle Svanslös' in Sweden) and Toonder's production of Disney and Hanna-Barbera stories.
After only a couple of years, she left Toonder and began writing for other clients, such as Geesink Artists, Oberon publishers and the magazines Pep ('Baron van Tast' for Jan van Haasteren), Sjors ('Distel' with Børge Ring, 'Sjors en Sjimmie' for Robert van der Kroft), Okki ('Annemoon' with Piet Wijn), the KRO Gids ('Sjaak en Oom George' with Jan van Haasteren) and Tina (many series). She was one of the driving forces behind the rebel comics magazine De Vrije Balloen, which started in 1975.
In that same year, she created the gag strip about the teenage girl 'Noortje', which she still makes with Jan Steeman for the magazine Tina. For several years during the 1990s, she wrote the 'Schanulleke' gag strip for Eric De Rop in Suske en Wiske Weekblad. At the moment, besides writing 'Noortje', Patty is mainly active in poetry, which she does under the name Patty Scholten (the family name of her ex-husband). In 2006, she began a new strip with Gerard Leever for the magazine Camé, 'Ria en Rinus'.

San Jose, California, USA
What's that on the sixth-floor deck of Adobe headquarters in downtown San Jose? Those slender silver spires, spinning quietly in the breeze, are actually turbines producing environmentally friendly electric power.
Workers installed the 20 wind turbines over the December holidays at Adobe Systems' high-rise offices at Park Avenue and Almaden Boulevard. Officials at the big software company say it's part of a larger effort to tap renewable sources for the power they need to keep the lights, computers and other equipment running at Adobe's facilities here and around the world.
Renewable energy isn't a new idea for Silicon Valley, where Google, Microsoft and other big tech companies use solar panels to supply some of the power for their local sites. But wind turbines are more typically found in rural or suburban areas. City officials say Adobe is the first to install them on a building in downtown San Jose.
"You just don't see this going on in an urban environment," acknowledged Randy Knox III, Adobe's director of facilities and environmental programs. "But it kind of looks like art."
Each turbine is 30 feet tall and 4 feet wide, with an open framework that rotates slowly on a vertical axis. Unlike traditional windmill designs, which have wide propeller blades, the manufacturer says the vertical turbines are designed to turn slowly and are unlikely to harm passing birds.
The installation is expected to produce about 50,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year, according to Knox. That's enough to power five or six average homes, though it's less than 2 percent of the total energy consumption at Adobe's three downtown towers, where more than 2,000 programmers, sales reps and other employees work in nearly 1 million square feet of office space.
Adobe has already won "green building" certification for the complex, by taking numerous steps to lower its energy use. Knox said the company is also evaluating the potential for using solar power and fuel cells, which make electricity from renewable sources.
But unlike other tech firms, which have more space on their sprawling suburban campuses, Knox said Adobe probably doesn't have enough room for a significant solar installation at its downtown site.
One thing Adobe has is the wind. Air currents swirl around the three buildings, which extend 16, 17 and 18 stories into the sky. The buildings themselves help channel the wind so it blows at an average of 13 to 14 mph across the top of a five story parking garage that sits between the three taller buildings - creating what Knox calls "a really nice wind tunnel" about 50 feet above street level.
City height restrictions preclude putting turbines on top of the office buildings, because they're so close to the flight path of Mineta San Jose International Airport. But Ed Tolentino, San Jose's chief building official, said Adobe had no problem winning approval for installing them on the roof of the garage, which also serves as an open-air patio for Adobe employees.
Adobe placed several of the turbines in planter boxes that line the deck's perimeter, where they're not expected to disturb anyone using the patio to eat lunch or play on its basketball and bocce courts. The turbines rotate in near-silence. Knox said their "bird-friendly" design was also an important consideration, since peregrine falcons and other species are known to visit the buildings.
The spires turn slowly enough to remain visible, so birds are unlikely to fly into them, said Amy Berry, a spokeswoman for Mariah Power, the Reno-based startup that sells the turbines.
Adobe won't disclose how much the installation cost, although Knox said the turbine's output should lower Adobe's spending for outside power enough to make up the cost in about eight years.
"We're looking at it as an investment in technology that needs to be developed," he added.
A spokesman for the American Wind Energy Association, a trade group, said he was glad to hear of Adobe's installation. Ron Stimmel said wind power is seeing increased adoption in the United States, but it's still rare in urban areas. At Adobe, one row of turbines stands above Almaden Boulevard, where they're easily spotted from the sidewalk across the street.
"I like that it's in a place where people can see it," Stimmel added. "It brings renewable energy to people's backyards, instead of being out in a big field somewhere."
Brandon Bailey can be reached at 408-920-5022.
Adobe's wind turbines:
Each turbine is 30 feet tall and four feet in diameter, with a steel spindle and three narrow vertical airfoils. The turbine turns on a vertical axis at a top speed of about 400 rpm, at a quiet 5 decibels. Each 1.2 kW unit is designed to produce 2000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year in 12 mph average winds; an average U.S. home uses 8,000 to 10,000 kilowatt hours per year. Adobe"s 20 turbines were designed and sold by Mariah Power of Reno, NV, which calls them Windspires.
Mariah Power says it has sold more than 500 units since introducing the product in 2008. Typical installed cost is $9,000 to $12,000 for each, before rebates and tax credits for renewable energy, according to Mariah Power"s Website. Adobe did not disclose the cost of its installation.

BYU's Taysom Hill Earns Manning Award Player of the Week Honor

The MPLA, founded in 1956, merged two nationalist organizations and was centred in the country's capital city of Luanda. From 1962 it was led by Agostinho Neto, who eventually became Angola's first president. It fought the Portuguese for the independence of Angola in cooperation, but often in conflict, with the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). The MPLA declared the People's Republic of Angola in November 1975, which was not recognized by all governments. The MPLA, supported by Cuba and the Soviet Union, and UNITA, supported by South Africa and the United States, continued to fight for control of the country; the FNLA pulled out of the struggle in the late 1970s.
At a national congress in 1977, the MPLA refashioned itself as a Marxist-Leninist party and added the words Party of Labour (PT) to its name. Neto died in Moscow in 1979 and was succeeded by José dos Santos, who gradually shifted the party from its Marxist-Leninist stance to one more conducive to establishing relations with Western countries.
The MPLA was the only legal party of Angola until multiparty elections were held in 1992. UNITA continued to battle Angolan government forces until early in 2002. An agreement to end the hostilities was signed in April 2002. The MPLA was victorious in the multiparty parliamentary elections held on Sept. 5–6, 2008, the first since 1992. Although there were some reports of fraud and intimidation, the elections were deemed valid by international observers.

Looking for some tips how to correctly (semanticly) markup the content in the image.
Thx in advance
What have you got so far?
Nothing really, was thinking heading, list items in divs but that doesnt relate the left column to the right.
This isn't a site where we write the code for you, sorry to sound blunt but for us to help you we need what you have done so far so we can assist you with making it better. We are not here to do the work for you.
Never crossed my mind that someone would wrtie the code for me, Im just looking for pointers to correctly markup the section of the page as its so bespoke. I dont think this forum is exclusivly for "whats wrong with my code" kind of Q and A, I assume that theoretical questions around markup questions can be asked ???
No need to get all moody, if you take a step back and read your first post you essentially imply you want us to write something for you just because of your short and sweet wording and the image. Now because you and I got off on the wrong foot i would like to rectify this and assist you, in my option the easiest and most semantic markup i see fit would be a definition list aka
.
They work in all browsers but sometimes in IE they can be a pain but overall would be the best option for you in my opinion.
I would do it as a
 with  for the top row, that's for sure.
Beyond that, I can see two plausible routes.
Each type of cheese/wine in a cell (using  for the cheeses, with the type marked up by .
Each cheese type in a cell, and all accompanying wines in the same cell. Use
 within each , with
 for the type of cheese/wine and
 for the list of varieties within each type. (Technically you could use multiple
s but I probably wouldn't go that far).
(using  for the cheeses, with the type marked up by .
Why? Don't we have

Hard Mild

Lancashire, Cheshire, Caerphilly

or something similar? What's the b going to do?
Oh wait, one or the other? Since there's still a good content relationship between cheese type and cheese examples, even a <h?> to
 or <h?> to
 setup would still give more (correct) content structure.
Or, we don't know why it's bold, but whether it was or not, there's still a relationship there that we can mark up in other ways.
Totally agree on the table... can't think of a way to not use a table while still having the two top headers head each list of header/list pairs.
I wouldn't have said the cheese/wine types were headings, and I think it would be wrong to use <h*> elements for them (although I accept that it is arguable, and I won't go to war over it). It's a classic example of where a list heading element would be perfect, but we don't have such a tool at our disposal.
Yes, you could use list items (whether

 or

) to mark up the wines and cheeses within each category, but I'm always slightly wary of using them in that way, because you want a comma-separated list, which means making them inline elements and using generated content to get the commas. Sure, it's possible, but it isn't rock solid and there are browsers out there that will barf it up and make a complete pig's breakfast of it. I know you shouldn't use markup to get a particular output format, but sometimes it's better to be practical and accept that the most semantically correct markup doesn't give the best results consistently enough, and that a "second-best" semantic form actually works better in real-world deployment..
Looks like the image is gone?

Thread: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
Speaking of that phony FG in GB, Baltimore complained about it so much the NFL raised the goal posts the following year and called it the Baltimore Extension.
That was an inside joke in re to all the bitching we did about the FG. They're still the same height today.
Shula beleived the game was fixed and NFL didn't want a backup RB as the premier QB in its showcase game.
So Colts went to Miami to play in the PO Bowl vs Dallas. Shula shocked the team during the week and said he was going to let Matte open it up. Everyone was shocked.
Before the game Shula watched Matte's warmups standing next to Tex Schram who kept laughing at all his high misses. Matte over-threw everything in practice just like Dilfer did before SB 35.
But in the end Matte beat Dallas by 30 points and tore apart Landry's famous flex defense.
Shula laughed on the plane ride home saying Matte didn't even know what a flex defense was.
The press and NFL were pissed at Shula for running up the score but he didn't give a damn.
He had a point to prove.
He would have won that Championship game with a backup RB to Lenny Moore as the premeir QB.

Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
Great thread. My memory of the colts between 1977-1984 were limited to highlights and newspaper articles. Then once the 80s arrived so did the losses. The only personal connection I had to the Colts was having Joe Washington as my neighbor but briefly though. I actually rooted for the cowboys during this time and continued to do so until the Ravens arrived.
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
I seem to recall we finally got on TV at home when the Steelers played here in '83.. Oddly enough we were 6-4 or something like that and in the playoff hunt. Full house here by we lost by 10 or so.. And that was the last time the Baltimore Colts played to a full house at home.
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
I remember the '82 strike year when the season finally resumed, I think the last game of the season was on New Years Day against the Dolphins. MAYBE 10,000 showed up for that one. You could hear conversations people were having 3 sections over. That and most of the people in the stands spent the whole day getting drunk and screaming obscenities at Frank Kush.
That's when you knew the gig was about up in B'more for the Colts.

Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
As I recall our last season ticket package was like
$140. Today guys are paying more than their mortgages for PSLs-lol.
You could get a coke and hot dog for 25 cents.
What's a beer today - $8 lol.d
Joe Thomas screwed the fans by adding the pre-season tickets to the regular season ticket packages. In the past most Colts fans never went to pre-season games. Seems we were the only fans in the country that knew the games were phony-lol.
So Thomas made them mandatory and a lot of old fans dropped their tickets including original season ticket holders.
In order to bring the team back, Bert Bell the Comish demanded something like 15,000 pre-sold season tickets. We had a team and they moved and were trying to get them back.
The city sold those tickets fast and we got the
old Dallas Texans. Bell then appointed Carroll Rosenbloom as the owner. He only had to put up a few thousand of his own money or something like that. He set $1M cash aside and said he would sell out when the money ran out. It never ran out. Years later he said I made more money in pro football than anywhere else.
When he sold the Colts to Irsay for $19M, Irsay quoted him as saying the team would be worth
$100,000 in a decade. Today the Colts are worth
$1B. It's Jimmy's only job, the only one he ever had.
I knew games were fixed during the 58 Championship game in sudden death. Unitas was driving for the game winning TD and was in field goal range to win it but Rosey was on the sideline
demanding that he go for the TD.
You see, Rosey gambled a lot on that game and he needed the TD to cover the point spread and he got it and the players got extra cash in envelopes under their doors. That's in Steadman's book.
When Rosey died swimming off his Florida beach front estate, Arty Donovan called Unitas and said mafia frogmen just killed Rosey.
Rosey owed Vegas millions. There was foul play called and even his wife Georgia was a suspect or questioned. No evidence of foul play was found and Georgia re-married before his body was cold.
She died not too long ago and her children recently sold the team. Remember when Rush Limbaugh tried to buy it and the players revolted-lol.
Re: Anyone remember the 1977 season?
And here's another tidbit most fans don't know about. There's actually 2 SB trophies in town. Of course SB 35 is at the Castle but the Babe Ruth Museum has our SB 5 trophy.
Its the only replica of the trophy ever made and here's why.
When Rosey sold the Colts and got the Rams he took the trophy with him. Irsay was supposed to get everything including the trophy. He was furious and demanded it.
Pete Rozelle was afraid of Rosey so instead of investigating it he simply had a new one made.
Irsay returned the trophy to Bmore as part of settling the law suit the city filed vs him
for moving the team. He also promised to vote for an expansion team if it was held in 10 years.
The original SB 5 trophy was last seen
in Georgia's sun room.

Browns select Barkevious Mingo with sixth overall pick
(BEREA) – The Cleveland Browns selected defensive end Barkevious Mingo with the sixth overall pick of the NFL Draft during Thursday's first round. Mingo, a defensive end, played at Louisiana State University.
Heading into Thursday's first round Mingo was certainly a target for the Browns, but multiple reports said Cleveland may trade back into the first round or draft West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.
Left tackle Eric Fisher out of Central Michigan was the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.
The Browns currently do not have a second round pick.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was on hand at Browns Headquarters on Thursday for the NFL Draft evening despite his company Pilot Flying J being under federal investigation.

for me, starting with the team i dislike most,
Vikings: I actually have nothing against this years team, as I like Peterson, Allan, Rudolph, Kalil, etc. But they have too much of a history around the era that I really started getting into individual football players (the early 2000s) and I can't forgive that franchise for ruining my perception of Favre ( although Favre also did that himself.) I forgave Brett for the Jets. He needed to get it out of his system, I said. But the Vikings was too far. Stealing Sharper, Longwell, Ferguson (ok, so that's not really stealing), the "Love Boat" incident, just a lot of not good stuff going on.
Patriots: I moved to California in February this year. Before then, I lived all over New England for 17 years. During these years I got into football. It's widely accepted that if you arent a fan of the home team, you can't help but hate them (see: GB79 and David@Mizz). This is me and the Pats. Never liked Brady, and people forget how terrible a QB he was before he got Moss and Welker. System QB who wasn't even that good in the Super Bowl years. Now he plays amazing but doesn't win. Suck it, Brady.
Falcons: This is based around one silly detail that isnt even within the team's power: early in both their starting careers, people said Ryan was better than Rodgers because he "Winz Gamez". People still try to give him a miss and call him an elite QB despite the fact that he hasn't even won a playoff game. In fact, he's gotten blown out in all three of his playoff games mostly because of his OWN BAD PLAY. Our game against them was close before the pick six blew it open. Matt Ryan is my least favorite QB in the league and it isn't even his fault. It's the media's.
Lions: About two years ago I didn't care. I kind of hoped they won. Not over us, but I felt bad for tormented fans. I'm a Red Sox fan; I know how it feels to just know you were going to lose no matter how much it seemed you had a chance. Then Schwartz came around. Suh, Titus Young, LeShoure, etc, so many players just became bad dudes. It's a shame that their team has such a poor reputation when Calvin and Stafford seem like such good guys off of it. The deeds of the few spoil the reward for the many. But the coach and Suh are the two main reasons this team is on the list.
Bears: This team is unique. I want the Bears to be good. Every season I want to see them in the playoffs. I'm happy they're good this season and was disappointed last season when their only two offensive players got hurt. I respect Smokin' Jay Cutler despite his flaws and think he's a good player. I do wish for the Bears to have success.
But not too much success. I want them to be good until the day they have to play us, and then I want us to beat them like we did Week 2, both times last season, week 17 the year before and, of course in the NFC Championship game that same season. I want us to beat them by 5 touchdowns. And I want them to be a good team so that it actually means something when we defeat them. They remind me of Wes Mantooth in Anchorman - "At the bottom of my gut, with every inch of me, I plain, straight hate you...But dammit, do I respect you."
Everyone else is cool.

Oh we're having a hater party?
From Moderate to Great Hate!
(falling off the list now)
(Love Peterson and Jared Allen has turned things around from being a troublesome drunk, it's just the Culpepper, Moss, Favre, Sharper, Longwell era and everything in between that fueled them to the top of my hate list of division rivals.)
(Disliked them when they were the Hotlanta Dirty Birds, hated them when the dog killer was there and now they really have no players that appeal to me so in the cellar they stay)
(Anti-East Coast bias? I don't know, never liked them though)
(J-E-T-S I hate you! Rex Ryan one of my most disliked personalities in the league but still a long ways behind no. 1. If championships were won on egos alone, the Jets would have been in the running every year for the last 50 years.)
(There is one player in this league I love to watch get smashed to pieces on the field, his name is Michael Vick. This is my perfect storm for franchise hate. Worst fans in the nation? Check. Most Loathed player in the game? Check. Huge Egos and Running Mouths all around with nothing to back it up? Check. Media Darling? Check. Long History of the prior? Check.)
Notale Omissions:
- Maybe I would hate them if I started watching football three years ago but as a kid the Lions were one of the teams that I enjoyed watching most. Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Chris Spielman, Mel Gray, Robert Porcher, these were guys I ALWAYS looked forward to seeing, many a Thanksgiving were spent watching them. I like the team currently mostly good guys, I just don't like Delmas, Suh or Fairley... in that order. Schwartz is a total hot-head too, but his tantrums and coaching meltdowns are truly entertaining.
- I could hate them and I probably should but, I think this is the best rivalry in pro football and to maintain that rivalry there has to be some bitter yet great games. Two of the greatest franchises in pro sports, original NFL teams, and bundles of championships not to mention more then their shares of some of the leagues greatest all-time players.
- I hated this team in the 90's they were the empire in the NFC when the Packers were the rebellion trying to break through. The 49er's were there as well but it was give and take with them, a team of very likable and great players but also the team holding your own down. The Cowboys on the other hand had the personalities and attitude that was fun to hate. I can't really hate them now because well, I hate the Eagles, Redskins and am frickin sick of the Giants so...lesser of the evils? We all know they'd lose in the Playoffs anyways.
- I hate dynasties that aren't the Packers but that Brady guy is pretty good and the players do present themselves well for the most part (Moss and Haynesworth are exceptions) even if their coach likes to test the rules. They can't really help it that half-wits run the other teams in their division. If they completed the perfect 19-0 season they would of certainly made my top five, luckily that loss knocked them down a few pegs which leads me to who we have to thank for that...
This is the team that stopped the Patriots and the ESPN frenzy of a perfect season and for that I'm eternally grateful. Eli was the darkhorse Manning to root for those couple years but now it's time to put them on ice and give it a rest. Some great games have been played between the Packers and Giants and that's good, great history helps lift the Packers profile in New York which is good for our team but enough is enough. Eli has his two Super Bowl rings, time to let Rodgers get his other five.

3. Do not flame or troll. This is when you start a topic or post just to anger or incite other members.
Regardless of whether or not the intent was to incite other fanbases, it really doesn't matter which forum it is in whether it be the Packers forum, TAST, or another rival teams' forum. Nothing good will come from calling another team "grimy" and then attaching the fanbases to that team. It's alright to dislike another team, but to attack another teams' fanbase when
has been pretty explicit about his desire to keep that away from Football's Future.

The team I can't stand the most right now are the Falcons. All this hype/talk about being elite when they haven't proven anything the last few years. Wow, they're 8-1! They went 13-3 two years ago and got embarrassed by the Packers on their own field.
And Matt Ryan isn't even in the same stratosphere as Rodgers. He wasn't a few years ago and he damn sure isn't now.

We can't even talk about what teams we hate? Christ. Who is whining now? I'm not going to pretend to like the Bears or Vikings just to appease people.
And this "hate" thing isn't exactly like people go into a fit of rage when talking about them. But whatever.

Well, I apologize then. I went along with it, not the example I should be setting.
As always, Webmaster and all of the moderators are available to talk to you via PM if you have an issue with the rules. Let's try to leave it out of the threads. But I do encourage you to go ahead and PM someone if you're frustrated, just to gain a better understanding, or perhaps influence a change.

Reading Level: Grade 6-8
Riley Bloom resisted for a long time. After she, her parents and her dog were killed in a traffic accident, Riley lingered on the earth plane spying on her sister and her friends as they continued living. When she finally crossed the bridge into Here and was reunited with her parents and dog, she still couldn't resist spying on the living.
On her first day of school (yes, they have school in Here) a nerdy boy brings her to a mysterious door. Inside she meets a group of angels who show her her life...all of it. Riley is horribly embarrassed. So embarrassed that she doesn't ask the right questions when the council of angels announces that Riley will train as a soul catcher. She should have asked.

If Apple don't do something about this crappy batt life them this 5 is the last iPhone ill buy. Who cares if its the fastest baddest if I have to charge it every 3.5 - 4hrs. That is crap.
The reason Android phones are stacked full of RAM and have beefy processors is due to needing more horsepower to counteract the inefficient OS. This then leads to requiring bigger batteries to support the inefficient device. There is no real world value to these supposed "higher specs" because the operating system does not use the software efficiently causing lag and a bad user experience. To have a truely special device you need to properly marry the hardware with the OS (hence iOS devices fantastic battery life at smaller sizes). iOS also graphically is seemless and without lag.
If android was made by one vendor for one set of hardware it would become more efficient and would be a better OS. But it's not sadly and while it still has nice elements, the user experience is dreadful and cheap in comparison with iOS.
What is a Fanboi? - Definition from Techopedia and pay special attention to the last paragraph it's commonly used to refer to those fans of iPod, Iphone, Ipad.
It's been in use as a derogatory name for the iPhone fanatics for a while. The opposite is fandroid, which is the same as fanboi, except for Andoid. Me... I just use whichever I want when the urge hits. Usually I have both the S3 and the iPhone 5 with me.

Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, between the world of the Broken (where people drive cars, shop at Wal-Mart, and magic is a fairy tale) and the Weird (where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny). Only Edgers like Rose can easily travel from one world to the next, but they never truly belong in either. Rose thought if she practiced her magic, she could build a better life for herself. But things didn't turn out how she planned, and now she works a minimum wage, off-the-books job in the Broken just to survive.
Then Declan Camarine, a blueblood noble straight out of the deepest part of the Weird, comes into her life, determined to have her (and her power). But when a terrible danger invades the Edge from the Weird, a flood of creatures hungry for magic, Declan and Rose must work together to destroy them - or they'll devour the Edge and everyone in it.
Spend some more time on The Edge.

"[E]ngaging urban fantasy....Andrews has created a complex plot and convincing characters that will keep the pages turning." (Publishers Weekly)
I have now I listened and read over 1500 books since 2010. Goodreads.com is a good way to find books and keep track of what you've read.
I read and listen to a lot of books and usually stick to the genres that keep my personal interest. The problem with that is after so many books you really notice how similar, unoriginal, most book are. The more books I go through the harder it is for me to remember what an individual book was about, or I finding myself telling someone something funny I read and I can't remember who said it or what book it was from. But, this book was really refreshing. Normally I would have over looked it due to the horrible cover and the just ok summary but when I finally started to listen to it I couldn't stop. This is a book I would listen to again and I will finish the series. I just hope the second book is as good as the first.
Speculative Fiction Book Review Blogger
"Great alternative for PNR fans wanting more action"
In a lot of ways this book felt like the Fantasy equivalent of Paranormal Romance; it's less action-y than Ilona Andrews' KATE DANIELS series, but the sex scenes are not left to the imagination (unlike in Urban Fantasy) and the strong world-building continues to be at the forefront of their writing. The romance is as far from insta-love as you can get which is a definite plus, and the ending was satisfying, although I was hoping for a second installment before jumping to another couple because I felt the HEA was somewhat incomplete.
Many of my fellow readers struggled with the backwoods aspect of this story, but personally, I found Rose very relatable. Being a bit of a hick myself, I appreciated the country bumpkin humour and the Edgers "different" way of doing things. I liked the well thought out explanations for Drayton's mistrust of men, and the courtship challenges made for one of the more interesting wooing pursuits that I have ever read. Rose's dedication to her brothers, her mad flash skills, and snark made her the perfect heroine for this tale. Her strong personality helped dull the aristocratic high-handedness of the story, and the women-are-possessions mentality became almost comical when applied to Drayton.
THE EDGE universe was amazing, as expected. I enjoyed learning all of the ins and outs of the Broken, the Edge, and the Weird. The magical rules are as complex as in the KATE DANIELS novels, but this is in no way a spin-off of the latter which means there's a whole new set of intricacies to grasp—all the better in my opinion, because Andrews' world-building is the reason why I keep coming back for more. I loved learning about the bizarre creatures, the inner workings of blueblood society, and the various supernatural abilities of the characters. Georgie and Jack were adorable, and I'd be interested in learning more about William who, as it turns out, is the male lead of book 2. The plot wasn't overly complicated, but still detailed enough to hold my interest.
Renée Raudman continues to be one of my favourite narrators; her passion and intensity really shine through in this audiobook, and I had no problem with equating her to Rose Drayton even though she's been the voice of KATE DANIELS inside my head for six installments now. Her character voices are distinct and she mirrors the pacing of the writing well. Raudman definitely has a knack for portraying strong female protagonists!
ON THE EDGE demonstrates Ilona Andrews' versatility as an author(s), and is a great alternative for Paranormal Romance lovers looking for a bit more action in their reads.
"Powerful Punch of Wit"
I listened to the audio sample and had to buy it after I heard, "Kids, get the guns, we're going to Wal-Mart." I about died! That statement fit in with the the story, but it was such a tongue-in-cheek line that I fell in love with this book.
I was not disappointed when I finished listening to this audibook in four days. There was enough tension, there was enough adventure and there were hilarious points along the way as well.
The narrator is excellent with her voices, each one consistently identified throughout and great detail to the context of the words spoken. She even made it sound like she was eating when a character was talking during a meal.
There were a couple of characters I didn't care for, but they didn't stop me from the story. And I wish the ending was a little longer in the storyline for Rose and Declan.
All in all, this is a great production and I hope the second book continues the wonderful storyline.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Reviews are misleading: a very good urban fantasy"
I got this book a couple years ago and just got around to reading it last week. I read the reviews before I started it and didn't really have high expectations, based on those reviews.
Hmmm... I don't know what those others are reading that made them think this book is less than a 4 for its genre. It is an urban fantasy with a female protagonist who is not weak and whiny - that in itself makes this book exceptional. The fact that there was also a story, some character development and some believable romantic angst just bumps it upward.
There isn't much sex, but what there is was well-done and believable. The story was reasonable, and, while maybe the bad guy scenes were a bit over-long, they were okay too. The only thing I would note as a drawback to the story was how William felt very much like an 'add-on' - and his role in the story as it relates to Rose was way more 'weighty' than it should have been, given how little time passes.
But, ultimately, as soon as I finished this book (yesterday), I bought the next in the series from Audible and am starting it today. The narration is good - she does seem to over emphasize sometimes, but overall she does a good job. There is no graphic violence, a little bit of somewhat detailed (but short) sex and minimal swearing.
"1 ½ stars. A romance novel with lots of magic."
I just couldn't get into it. I wanted it to be over. It felt like some kids were sitting in their secret clubhouse, making up a story about magic characters, trying to wow each other. I'm not sure what the problem was. One dimensional characters? Things we've heard before? It's set in North America in a time similar to current day, but there are lords and earls - an English regency setting. Rose works as a cleaning lady and has magic ability. Declan is an earl who has magic ability. He meets Rose when he visits her town. The major plot is evil Casshorn and his hounds are killing innocent people. Declan and Rose want to stop Casshorn.
I wasn't pulled into the main character Rose. She reminded me of a TV sitcom character. At times she sounded like a smartalecky snippy sarcastic teenager. Her dialogue sounded like teen speak with taunting, arguments, and ending conversations with both sides saying "fine." Other times she sounded like a typical parent raising her brothers with predictable dialogue.
The narrator Renee Raudman:
Think of a child or teen saying "nya, nya, nya, so there." That was the feeling the narrator gave to the following line "I'm going to kiss you because you saved my brother's life." It felt wrong. It should have been said softer. Many of Rose's lines sounded more smartalecky and snippy than I would have liked. The narrator also spoke other character lines in ways that bothered me. For example "But I want my pint money, grandpa moaned." The narrator read this line with a snarl not a moan. But even if there were a different narrator, the writing would not interest me.
There are several sections that "tell" the past rather than "show." Those parts dragged. Someone asked Rose why she loved X. Rose said "because he makes me laugh." I thought I never heard him doing that. The author used more cliches than I cared for.
I enjoyed the characters and events during the last 15 minutes. I also enjoyed the sound of two names. I'm spelling them phonetically, Eleonahray and Adreeangleeah.
book chick
Brilliant start. Really, brilliantly engaging and hooky. Loved the narrator's grasp of the characters' voices with the exception of the villain. Huh? Really? The husband/wife team did a great job with everything except the villain. His motivation was sketchy and underdeveloped. I didn't understand the "why" of it all. Loved Declan but got tired of his "broad shoulders" and "green eyes". Found his elven description with long gold hair at the beginning of the book much more engaging - and more interesting. The villain's motivation was never clear. WHY did he feel the need to come to the Edge? Surely he could have found more magic to consume in the Wierd, no? I listened to the book twice and could never understand his motivation. Besides, the narrator made him sound like a complete puss. "I just want a taste of the boy...hmmm...?"
Love the world,love the unique concept,and love most of the characters. Just make the villain a true villain and you've got a movie deal!
"Very Disappointing"
On the surface, this book seemed very promising. The premise was very good, parallel worlds, one in which magic does not work and the other where it is the driving force.... oh, and one that sits between the two. Lots of possibilities!
Even at the beginning, the writing was good and the narrator did a fair job of infusing each character personality.
Then in the middle of the thing it turned into "chick porn" full of heaving bosoms and.... well, more descriptive.... uh.... descriptions.
This was not what I signed on for.
Once the gears were shifted from fantasy to romance novel all kinds of things go wrong. We have a guy whose shoulders are so broad the slight girl behind the wheel of a pickup is nearly crowded out the door. And his eyes! His eyes are.... what color were they? Oh, yes. Green. Very green. Deep green. There are more mentions of his green eyes than there are of his name. Green eye's and nothing but shoulders..... with green eyes embedded somewhere in them.
There are so many cliches that the author feels compelled to answer several of them with, "Of course he was...." Or maybe they weren't cliches until they were used so often that they actually became cliches over the course of the book.
I really like genre blending, but if one of them is something I detest I'd like a little warning up front. I won't read another book in the series and I will be trading this one in. If I can remember the author's name I won't purchase another one of her books.
"Loved It"
Great narration. I like to list this first as it can make or break a story.

Loved this story. Easy listerning and very entertaining. Will be impatiently waiting for any new books in audio from this author.

I really enjoy it when readers with similar reading interests list their favourite authors and series. It really helps me find new authors too follow. Mine are Charlaine Harris, Jeaniene Frost, Jennifer Estep, Faith Hunter, Molly Harper, Ilona Andrews, Kresley Cole, Deborah Harkness, Nalini Singh, Coreene Callahan and Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Happy Reading

"Not what I expected, but pretty darn good anyway"
I loved the Magic series and was looking forward to this book. While it wasn't what I had expected, I found myself enjoying the characters and the way the authors put you into the scenes so that you could feel the air. I loved the boys Jack and Georgie and Rose's love and commitment to them. I also enoyed this story as it at times felt like a historical romances that I used to read in high school. The strong rugged hero, Declan, and the not so much damsel in distress, Rose.
This book has all the classic good vs evil, with all kinds of twists. Throw in the crazy animals and grandparents and it is a good listen. Like I said in the title, I liked it.
"contemporary humor with a regency hero"
I have exhausted the fantasy/paranormal romance genre and all the books are just bleeding together so it was refreshing to have something NEW and FUN with endearing characters in this little family like Jack... the authors must have kids. I actually went back to my Audible library and lowered my ratings on previous books in comparison to this one.
"Brilliant a witty and romantic supernatural story"
I really enjoy the books by lona Andrews ( a husband and wife writing team). After reading all the books in the Kate daniels series I thought I would try this and once again it has proved to be the right choice. The narrator is excellent, she reads each character with exactly right amount of feeling, as if she knows them personally. The story itsself actually made me laugh out loud at some the witty remarks, which just goes to show how excellent the narrator is.
I found this book an entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable listen. The author has a vivid imagination and a lively writing style. The interaction and chemestry between Rose and Decklan is brilliantly done. The story is gripping and well narrated. A great listen for lovers of romantic fantasy.
"Romantic & action packed"
Between our world 'the broken' and the world of magic 'the weird' is 'the edge'. The world is fascinating and the characters more complex than they appear in the beginning. Pretty much everyone has a back story that isn't quite what you expect. The writing is less assured than Ilona Andrews' later works (which I read first). Well worth a read, and interesting to see how writing craft has grown. Renee Raudman, as usual, injects humor and irony nicely and makes sure you can tell all the characters apart.
"Brilliant story and performance"
The story was face paced and the narration was fantastic!
I loved the characters, the world and the narration.
I had read Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series and wasn't sure about starting this new series, but absolutely loved it! It's fresh, creative and full of twists and turns. Renee does an amazing job, as always.
"good read"
loved book but didnt like the narrators "male" voice. would have been better without changing tones.
"A fabulous action romance"
I really enjoy the easy reading/ listening of there books, because it is written with both a female and male perspective. As a couple they work together harnessing each others ability like very modern couples

The action, magic and the ability to make it hard to put down the book till complete, My favourite part is her assumptions and how wrong she is about them.... a little like myself mmmm
she is a fabulous reader, easy to listen to her voice along with her pronouncement of words.
it made me laugh and cry with happiness and sadness.....
"Completely forgettable"
Possibly someone who is into all the cliches of romance novels. The ones where the man is a hulking, yet caring warrior and the woman is a plucky and stubborn survivor who goes her own way.
No, I got so bored that I actually forgot to finish listening to this book and didn't even realize it. I would listen, but then find that my mind had wandered and I had missed 45 minutes of the story, but I didn't really care. I just stopped listening one day and then never went back to it. I'm assuming it ends happily, with the warrior guy taking the woman (I don't remember their names anymore) and her brothers back to his kingdom. It's that kind of a book.
there was nothing wrong with the narrator, but nothing in particular to distinguish her either.
This book was just not interesting. Cliched and boring.
"Good book by the Kate Daniels team"
I bought this book after listening to Illona Andrews' Kate Daniels series. I love those books so much. I've listened to the entire set many times and read them in paperback too, so when I learned of the Edge series AND that it was read by the same narrator (Renee Raudman) it was a no brainer to buy it.
Renee Raudman is THE best narrator for Illona's work, especially the Kate Daniels series. She brings the world to life with her character voices and emotions. Just fabulous. I give this series four stars because no matter how good this series is, it cannot beat Kate Daniels.

Naomi Watts Covers Easy Living January 2013
Her new movie "The Impossible" just hit theatres and now Naomi Watts is showing off her gorgeous smile by covering the January 2013 issue of Easy Living magazine.
The 44-year-old actress rocked designer dresses from Chloé and Louis Vuitton for the Max Vadukul shot front page while opening up about everything from motherhood to finding "the one."
A few highlights from Miss Watts' interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Easy Living!
On life as an older mother:
"I always wanted to be a young mum. My mum had us at 19 and 20, but it didn't work out that way for me. I just never met the right guy. The advantage of having children later is that I was really sure I wanted to be a mum. I know myself better. Of course, I love my work and it's a big part of my life, but I think I am able to compartmentalize now. A baby in my twenties? I don't think I would have done that as well."
On happiness:
"There is less stress about work. I still care about it deeply, but I feel as if I care about other things more. I saw someone today who I had not seen for ten years and they said that I didn't seem so serious. They told me 'There's a lightness about you now.' and perhaps having a family has done that for me."
On meeting the one:
"We're very much together. We just don't have that certificate and that's okay with both of us. Maybe one day, we'll just wake up and go 'Hey, let's do this.' And maybe not."
