Dana Barros – In 1994 some NBA players got together for the ill-conceived B-Ball's Best Kept Secrets with many of the ballers trying their hand at rapping and falling flat. Dana Barros was one of the standouts. The diminutive guard goes in over this hard-sounding backpacker beat. Could easily see him as a feature on a Artifacts, or DAS EFX track in the mid 90s.
NBA's 10 Best Rappers
Kevin Durant – When it's all said and done, KD might be the most accomplished basketball player to ever rap. Durantula is about 1/3 as good on the mic as he is on the court, and considering his immense ability to drop points from virtually anywhere, that's pretty damn solid. Here's Durant dropping bars on a track posted on HNHH back in February.
Gary Payton – The Glove was renowned for his defense, as well as his non-stop trash talk on the court, so it's only natural that he tries to transfer that ability to the mic. Here's another cut from B-Ball's Best Kept Secret where GP rhymes over a beat that you half-expect to hear Nate Dogg on the hook, with this Cali baller flowing smooth over this G-funk inspired tune.
Brian Shaw – Recently he was overlooked by the Lakers as their next head coach, but back in the day this Oakland native dropped one of the standout tracks on B-Ball's Best Kept Secrets. This tune sees Shaw opening up about deaths in his family as he rhymes over a classic-sounding mid-90s Cali beat.
Cedric Ceballos –One time Dunk Contest winner, Ceballos is another West Coast baller repping the vintage funky Cali sound of the mid-90s. Forgive the video which is some kind of send up of "White Men Can't Jump", Cedric flows smooth on this cut which sounds like it could have been a bonus track on the "Menace II Society" soundtrack.
Lou Williams – Former Sixers sharp shooter, and now logging minutes for the Hawks in Atlanta, Lou goes in on this beat like he did off the bench on Philly – guns a blazing.
Stephen Jackson – Had to put a Captain Jack track on here, if only because the man has a tattoo of hands folded in prayer with a gun between them, covering his entire chest. The Malace at the Palace brawler has several mixtapes and considers himself the best NBA rapper going. Far be it for me to argue with him.
Ron Artest – Boggles the mind to think that Ron-Ron and S-Jax were teammates, and they literally went into the stands in Detroit and fought fans, as depicted in this track, "Touch the wrong person Steve Jack had my back/ O'neal and AJ with the counter attack." Here, Artest rhymes about the incident and drops perhaps my all-time personal favorite lyric by an NBA rapper, a shot directed at the NBA Commissioner: "David Stern damn David Stern/I gotta teach you about the ghetto some things you should learn."
Iverson – Iverson's always been a problem on and off the court, hell as Jadakiss raps in the old Reebok commercial, "they even put a zone in the league to try to stop 'em." Here he appears as "Jewelz" and does a more than decent job dropping hard rhymes over this slow thumping beat. Known as one of the pioneers in NBA/hip hop culture, Ivy was no stranger to the streets and it shows in the lyrics on this tune.
Shaq – He wasn't the first NBA player to take his skills into the booth, but he was the first big name player, and Shaq didn't just drop a couple freestyles, he recorded complete albums (plural). His results were mixed, but some of his joints were like him and Charles Oakley in the post – banging. Of course there's his introduction into the game, his collabo with Fu-Schnickens, but it was his effort on "(I Know I Got) Skillz" that cemented Diesel as a force on the mic "all you jealous punks can stop my dunks."
Alicia Keys Covers Complex
Alicia Keys shares the cover of Complex Magazine with A$AP Rocky.
A look at 10 NBA players who have shown talent off the court and on the mic.
"A rapper". This is
the common response an NBA player gives when asked "what would you be if you
weren't in the NBA?", (with "actor" a close second). Many ballers have put their money where the
mic is and tried their hand at rapping, an even a few have started up their own fledgling labels. We take a look at the NBAers who have shown some promise on the mic.
HNHH takes a look at 10 NBA Players who have shown some ability in the booth. This is a volatile list as one NBA player's attempt at rapping may be decent, and their next effort could be downright awful, so there is some overlap between "The Best" and "The Worst" ballers who rhyme.
Make sure to check back as we will be posting a follow-up look at the worst NBA would-be rappers.

SERIOUS problems with printing recipes !
Until today, the print recipe button has worked as it did previously....select "print with no pictures" and even though you got a video ad on the print "preview" page, it did not print.
Today, something's changed. I've printed 2 recipes so far....the orange pull-apart bread and the Kofte Kebabs with Spicy Harissa/Yogurt sauce. In both cases, I got the screen shot of the ad printed as well. Great way to burn out my color cartridges ! I *really* hate having to cut and paste recipes into Word to print them without extraneous graphics, but apparently that's how I'm going to have to deal with Serious Eats from now on.
Not happy about this development. Not at all.

CNet interviewed Karl Freund, vice president of IBM eServer pSeries to find out what's upcoming from IBM in 2005. While the focus is on IBM's work, there's the obvious relationship with Apple, and therefore the benefits that may be in store for Apple Computer users.
Most notable is the "partitioning" technology used in higher-end Power4 and Power5 chips. (Partitioning allows multiple OS's to be run simultaneously.) IBM is seeking to provide this technology at a lower price point, that would allow, say, Apple Computers to run this technology.
"[A chip with partitioning] allows a computer to handle more jobs at the same time and to be used more efficiently."
So perhaps the days of VirtualPC are numbered…
No mention of when in 2005 we may start seeing this technology trickling down.
There's also note of possibly seeing something along the lines of Dual Core Chips. These CPUs would pack 2 processors into a single silicon chip to increase the power output, while saving on size/space.

Adam Sandler Joins Ridiculous Six
Saddling up for a comedy western
Comedy westerns seem suddenly to be all the rage. Following Will Ferrell's Casa De Mi Padre and the news that the follow-up to Black Dynamite will be along Blazing Saddles lines, Adam Sandler is now getting in on the action, with a spoof called Ridiculous Six.
Not much is known about the film so far, except that it's not a sequel to Ridiculouses 1 to 5 (surely we'd have heard of those). But the title and the genre have been confirmed by studio, Paramount. What sounds likely is some sort of riff on The Magnificent Seven, maybe with a disparate group of gunslingers called in to defend a town against... someone mean. Presumably in this case the gunslingers would be rubbish, so is it possible we can expect something akin to Three Amigos**!**?
Sandler's Happy Madison is, of course, the production company wrangling the project, and it's been set up at Paramount after a mysterious 11th hour move from Sony. Sandler will co-write with his frequent collaborator Tim Herlihy, who dates back to Sandler's Saturday Night Live era and worked on the screenplays for Sandler's early, funny films like Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer. Lately his role has tended to be executive producer, although he did have a hand in writing 2008's Bedtime Stories.
Shooting starts next April, for a release in the spring of 2014.

| I do not believe that cloning animals for any reason is right. Products from cloned animals have not been proven to be safe and I believe Americans should have a choice as to whether they want to purchase cloned food products. If products from cloned animals are to be sold, they should be clearly labeled. Without labeling these items Americans may be forced to eat only God knows what.

|Six Cats commit on national Signing Day
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Feb. 6, 2004 -- When Sulphur Springs senior Trey Hall arrived at the Wildcat Room Wednesday morning for national Signing Day, he came equipped with a pocketful of pens. They were needed.
Six Wildcats committed to play football for colleges of various sizes on the first day allowed by the NCAA for high school players to sign letters of intent.
The Wildcats' top recruit, cornerback Jonathan Lindley, fulfilled his verbal commitment to Southern Methodist University and was one of three players to sign Division I scholarship offers. Defensive tackle Jordan Jones, another player rated in the top 100 recruits in the Metroplex, signed with Northwestern State University in Louisiana, and defensive end Kedaron Franklin inked a double offer from University of Texas-El Paso and Trinity Valley Community College in Athens.
Hall, a cornerback converted from wide receiver, signed on with Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, a Division II school; and the record-setting duo of quarterback Ryan Henry and wide receiver Kendall Wright also chose out-of-state colleges. Henry will go to Belhaven College in Jackson, Miss., while Wright chose Northwest Missouri University.
SSHS head coach Brad Turner recognized the uniqueness of having so many players coveted on Signing Day.
"These are the first kids I've ever had to actually sign on Signing Day. To have six is a pretty special deal," he said. "They're great kids.
"It's certainly an honor for these guys to sign scholarships to whatever institution they're going to, and I think we'll have a chance for four or five more to sign at some point and time. The more, the better. It looks good on our program, and it looks good on our kids."
Turner spent hours this school year making game tapes and talking to college scouts as they came through Sulphur Springs. It's paid off as up to a dozen may play in college off of this year's team, and it gives motivation to the younger players in the program.
"We've got a bunch of these young ones who are seeing these colleges come through and seeing these seniors sign full scholarships, and they understand what hard work and commitment does for you," Turner said. "You get the chance to have a free education and play on Saturdays and continue your career.
"These guys just proved that they can do it. They're good examples. Hopefully, all of our younger players are looking to these guys and want to do the same thing."
The six who signed all had stellar senior seasons for the Wildcats.
iLindley was a top 50 recruit in the Metroplex as a shut-down cornerback because of his size (6-0, 175) and speed (4.4 in the 40). After verbally committing to SMU in the summer, teams didn't throw his direction much, accounting for one interception and one fumble recovery for a touchdown. He also blocked two punts.
"Ever since this summer, SMU was where I wanted to go. I'm very happy to be signing today. I've been waiting for this for the longest," Lindley said. "What I like best is I get along with the players and I'll be able to play."
iJones (6-2, 262) was the type player that every opposing team had to game-plan for because of his presence at noseguard. He was the District 11-4A Defensive MVP after accounting for 51 tackles (nine for losses) and 3 sacks.
iFranklin was another reason coaches believed the defensive line was the team's strong point last season. Finally healthy for a full season, the 6-4, 220-pound end used his speed to lead the team with five sacks and 11 tackles for losses to go along with 42 overall stops.
iHall (6-0, 175), converted over from wide receiver to cornerback for his senior season, led the team in interceptions with three and also had two fumble recoveries, including one for a 96-yard TD return, to go along with 27 tackles.
iHenry (6-1, 175) set virtually every passing record in school annals as he threw for 2,417 yards on 181-of-287 passing with 19 TDs. Included in that total was a school-record 439-yard effort against Highland Park in his career finale.
iWright (5-11, 170) was Henry's favorite target, and why not? He used his speed and athleticism to gather in a school-record 72 passes for a school-record 1,010 yards and a school-record nine touchdowns. He also holds the single-game marks in each of those categories.
Turner said the signings generated excitement throughout the football program.
"I think their teammates are all excited to be able to watch them play on Saturdays and maybe see them on TV. I think it looks good for this program and for this community. We've had a lot of great players come through here who have played big-time football, and some are still playing in the NFL," Turner said.
"This kind of continues the tradition of Sulphur Springs having great football players. Hopefully that won't stop anytime soon."

However, I plan to keep the car at least six/eight years - as a long-time car buyer I have always done this on the basis that a car depreciates immensely the first few years and then slows down - meaning that once you get past year three the car is less expensive unless the manufacturer is not reliable and various problems pop up in the later years (hopefully, this will not be the case with the 328). Anyway, just wanted to see if there was something that I am not aware of by buying instead of leasing (while I had planned to buy with cash - getting a 1.99 or even 2.99 loan might change my mind - I don't like to have debt).
Can't blame you,I hate debt...which is why I choose to pay cash and be done with it

Mustangs' Aquino slugs two more homers
Reds prospect notches seven RBIs a night after driving in three runs
By Mark Emery / MiLB.com | July 21, 2014 1:37 AM ET
If you're looking to beat the summer heat, stay away from Aristides Aquino.
After going deep in his final two at-bats on Saturday, the red-hot Reds prospect homered in his opening two at-bats on Sunday. Not satisfied by hitting four long balls in four plate appearances, he went 4-for-5 with a career-high seven RBIs in Rookie-level Billings' 19-11 thumping of Ogden.
"He's got so much raw talent," Mustangs hitting coach Kevin Mahar said. "He's locked in. He's not missing his pitches, not chasing their pitches. He's fun to watch right now."
A night earlier, Aquino crushed a two-run homer in the eighth inning before pulling a solo shot to left in the ninth in an 11-10 loss at Ogden. Facing the Raptors again, he smacked a grand slam to left off starter John Richy in the first, then deposited a pitch from Abdiel Velasquez beyond the center-field fence with one on in the third.
The native of the Dominican Republic strode to the plate again with one out and a runners at second in the fourth. While he didn't hit a fifth straight homer, he got the runner in with a double to center.
"To be honest, we were kind of surprised he got a pitch to hit in that at-bat with first base open," Mahar said. "The guy threw a changeup low and he just stayed through it and smoked a line drive in the left-center gap."
The 20-year-old outfielder led off the sixth with a single to center. Despite all the hits and RBIs to that point, it was what happened in his fifth at-bat that most impressed his hitting coach -- Aquino worked a walk against Karch Kowalczyk.
"[It was] the fact that he didn't try to do too much," Mahar said, "didn't try to go hit another home run, just took what was given to him and didn't chase, got on, got the walk out of it."
Aquino got one more chance in the ninth, when he made it to second base on an error by third baseman Michael Ahmed.
Over the weekend, he went 6-for-10 with four homers, a double, 10 RBIs and six runs scored. In 31 games in his second stateside season, he has compiled a .313/.350/.633 slash line, leads the league with nine homers and ranks second with 30 RBIs. He also ranks first with 21 extra-base hits and 81 total bases.
"He's got incredible power," Mahar said. "He has an insane amount of power. He's got those long arms, creates a lot of leverage in his swing.
"In these last two games, he's been great. He's been calm, hasn't tried to do too much with those guys on."
Two nights after hitting three homers, Ogden's Justin Chigbogu went 4-for-6 with another roundtripper and three RBIs. Kelvin Ramos also drove in three runs for the Raptors.
Of Billings' 18 hits, Ty Washington also recorded four, while Alex Greer had three. Washington, Brian O'Grady, Taylor Sparks, Greer and Argenis Aldazoro joined Aquino in posting multi-RBI performances.
Reliever Soid Marquez (4-1) got the win, despite allowing two runs on three hits in two innings. Velasquez (1-4) was charged with five runs on six hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings.

Fox already has three successful cooking series with Gordon Ramsay on the air. Now the network has ordered a fourth reality series from the Scottish chef, this time set in the hotel business. The title of the new series, Hotel Hell, is reminiscent of Ramsay's flagship show on Fox, Hell's Kitchen, while its premise is similar to that of his makeover Fox series Kitchen Nightmares. Hotel Hell, from Ramsay's One Potato Two Potato production company, will feature Ramsay and a team of hospitality experts traveling across the country to fix struggling or mediocre hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts. In his trademark no-holds-barred style, Ramsay will go head-to-head with the owners and staff as he tries to whip the failing hotels into shape by making them fix their problems — from dirty bedrooms and mold-ridden bathrooms to incompetent employees or sub-par customer service. "These are stories that everyone can relate to, because virtually all of us have had a bad hotel experience that's turned a holiday or business trip into a total disaster," Ramsay said. "It's time to put the hospitality industry to the test." On the show, Ramsay will call on more than a decade of experience running restaurants in top hotels around the world, traveling as well as running a boutique hotel in London. "Gordon is amazing to work with and no matter what the premise, he delivers every time," Fox president of alternative programming Mike Darnell said. "With an unprecedented three shows already on the air, Gordon is an incredible television success, and we're really thrilled to put him through Hotel Hell on Fox." Under his current deal with Fox, which runs through 2014, CAA-repped Ramsay is executive producing and starring on Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and MasterChef, the last one produced by One Potato Two Potato, Ramsay's joint production venture with Optomen Television. Unlike those series, which were based on formats that originated in the UK, Hotel Hell is a new format that Ramsay's company developed with Darnell and Fox.
Quadruple Threat: Fox Picks Up Fourth Reality Series From Gordon Ramsay
15 Comments
Why reward an arrogant, rude, bastard? I don't care what his food looks or tastes like! His shows are a good reason to NOT watch television.
Poor baby,,lash out at what you don't understand.
You donkey.
I agree with the original post. I don't care for Gordon Ramsay and at this point, I'm frankly bored with his shtick.
I never thought I'd want to watch yet another Ramsay show but this sounds hilarious. And the tons of other lame restaurant/hairdresser/business makeover shows will always be lame imitators. Nice work Ramsay.
Totally original…if you forget The Hotel Inspector and others that air in the UK that have the same premise. Only change here is that we have Gordon to yell and puke food cooked by the kitchen staff. I guess they can always claim the other format didn't have someone like Ramsay judging the cooking so it's totally different…NOT!
You've obviously never watched his other shows (besides Hell's Kitchen). He only yells, swears, & gets douche-y when needed when he's dealing with an idiot or a jerk. The rest of the time he's soft spoken, kind, intuitive, and funny. The anger bit is a tool for teaching and entertaining. The rest of the time he's a lovable guy.
Agreed, me0w– especially on Kitchen Nightmares and Masterchef as opposed to Hell's Kitchen. He does what's expected of him on Hell's Kitchen and plays the part of "angry Gordon" but really seems to care about the restaurants/owners on Kitchen Nightmares and the contestants on Masterchef.
The UK hotel shows that you refer to were a blatant rip off of Ramsay's original British version of Kitchen Nightmares. The fact that none of those shows ever made it over the pond pretty much says it all.
It's No Secret That Gordon Ramsay is Close Friends with Simon Cowell.
Good Show Gordon.I Love This Guy. You came across the Pond with Simon to Conquer The Yanks and You Bloody Well have! This sets president. With 4 Shows Running simultaneous on FOX and Guest Appearances on Other Shows.
I predict that You and Your Mate Simon Cowell will be Knighted by The Queen of England for Your contributions in Culinary Arts and Entertainment Business.All hail, Sir Ramsay The First.
All You other Culinary Wannabees, take Notice of those Golden Locks
Ka Ching Baby!!!!
I LOVE Gordon Ramsay! Can't wait for the new series.
He's also pretty good at shuffleboard.
boiling point was awesome even if you dont like the newer stuff
and if you really care about a 'real' ramsay watch that one
looks like Gordon is now set to become the hardest and evilest working chef on reality tv.a fourth series now. hope the hotels have a plan in place when Gordon comes a calling.
Kitchen Nightmares is one of my favorite shows–this looks even better. Can't wait.
Please FOX, stop it with the Ramsey shows!!! Ugh. I am so over Gordon Ramsey. This is reality overkill!

New York • Smells good, tastes good, feels good: The International Spa Association's annual industry show was a feast for the senses.
Spas showed products and treatments that seemed good enough to eat — and a few demonstrations actually did involve edibles. Others at the show held last week in Manhattan offered services inspired by indigenous healing rituals and traditions.
The Spa of the Rockies in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, featured skin products from Eminence Organics in creamy pastel colors with ingredients like strawberry rhubarb and pink grapefruit. The Lodge at Woodloch, in Hawley, Pennsylvania, offered a beer-based hand-and-foot scrub, in addition to an actual edible: Tuscan melon gazpacho with Thai basil and blush-tiger tomatoes.

Henry Hopper's acting is given a highlight in this trailer as his character forms a relationship with a girl who is given only months to live.
Gus Van Sant's "Restless" drops a second trailer which is dominated by Henry Hopper's character Enoch. It begins with revelation of how "different" Enoch is and then it moves to his relationship with the spirit of a Japanese kamikaze, and it ends with his attempt to use the time he has left with Mia Wasikowska's Annabel.
"Restless" was one of the opening films at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It's a powerful and emotional coming of age story from the director of "Milk". In the film, two outsiders, both shaped by the circumstances that have brought them together, forge a deep and lasting love.
Enoch meets Annabel in strangers' funerals and they form a unique relationship. Enoch introduces her to a Japanese ghost who has become his buddy and she gives him a meaning of life. Their happiness soon fades out after Annabel reveals that she is facing her own death.
The drama would be released in limited theaters September 16.

|The Reef Ball Foundation, an international environmental organization that restores coral reefs and marine habitat with attractive, environmentally safe artificial reefs, is in the construction phase of making 500+ Reef Balls to be deployed about 6 miles off the coast between St. Augustine and Jacksonville. This innovative and proven reef design is the first of its kind to be deployed in all of Northeast Florida. The site of construction is at the Music Shed, downtown courtesy of the Jacksonville Riverfront Corporation. The reef was built in honor of Atlanta, Georgia attorney, Charles H. Kirbo, who served as an advisor and lawyer to President Jimmy Carter, was a trustee of the Carter Center and a trustee of the T. M. and Irene B. Kirbo Charitable Trust. The reef is being built thanks to a grant from the Kirbo Charitable Trust and the Reef Ball Foundation. The project will be a collaborative effort between local schools, such as Mandarin and Fletcher High Schools, St. Augustine High School and Jacksonville University, and community organizations and local businesses such as the Jacksonville Offshore Sport Fishing Club and Jacksonville Reef Research Team. Construction of the Reef Balls is being done by Reef Innovations. Representatives from each of these organizations will be present to answer questions regarding their involvement. The project coordinator, Larry Beggs, is Vice President of the Reef Ball Development Group, LTD and president of Reef Innovations.

That would be 18 years of age for emancipation from ones parent in North Carolina this would include moving out. He must be 18 to legally move from his parents property unless he gets emancipated by a court of law which isn't easy to do. He would need to petition the courts for emancipation and if his parents do not consent it is unlikely this would be approved.
You are still legally responsible for him until he is 18. If he leaves and you fail to report him as a run away you can be held liable for any actions and for any incidents he has. Should he become hurt while away you could be charged with neglect as well.
Here is a link with further information on the subject:
Emancipation of Minors - All US States
I am sorry, it sounds like you have been misinformed. The parent can give the child permission to live somewhere else but the parent is still liable for the actions of the child. The state can also still step in and file neglect charges on the parent if they feel the child is doing without while living away from home.
Often these little stories circulate from different stories such as this. There is no law that allows a child to leave his parents home without permission in the state of North Carolina.

Moscow (UPI) Nov 21, 2007
For the first time, divisions within the Iranian political elite over its nuclear program are starting to emerge into the open.
Former presidents Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mohammad Khatami have warned the nation, albeit in low-key tones, that the escalation of tension around the nuclear program is dangerous and is threatening a confrontation between Iran and the world community.
But Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the nation the other day that he will not tolerate nuclear dissent: "If some circles within Iran do not stop exerting pressure on the nuclear program, they will be exposed before the whole nation. They are traitors, and in line with our promise to the people of Iran, we will not be watching them passively."
This was the first open threat against nuclear dissidents in Iran. Ayatollahs believe that it is a sick bird that fouls its own nest, and Ahmadinejad's statement is interesting for this reason. Besides, it contained some details that are worth discussing. First, he promised to make public "all information about the traitors ... after the nuclear problem is settled." Second, he said that some "traitors" had compelled a judge to "justify espionage."
The reference appears to be to Hussein Mousavian, former head of the Foreign Policy Committee at the Supreme National Security Council. During Khatami's presidency he was a leading negotiator at the talks with the EU Troika on Iran's nuclear program. When the Ahmadinejad government came to power in the summer of 2005, he left politics for scientific work. But in May 2007 he was arrested -- ostensibly on suspicion of disclosing secret information to foreign states.
The Iranian authorities have not specified the charges against Mousavian or reported about the investigation, leaving many questions unanswered. Who are those people who have managed to compel the judge to "justify espionage?" They must be at the very top of the political elite. Why will "all information about the traitors" be made public after the settlement of the nuclear problem?
Why talk about this at all? Most likely, Ahmadinejad was provoked into such a strong statement by his main opponent, George W. Bush. Last week the U.S. president routinely warned the Iranian regime that it will face sanctions and further isolation if it fails to halt its nuclear-enrichment program: "What the Iranian regime must understand is that we will continue to work together to solve this problem diplomatically, which means they will continue to be isolated. And what the Iranian people must understand is that we respect their heritage and respect their traditions, respect their potential -- but it's their government that has made the decisions that are denying them a bright future."
This tirade required an answer, primarily the words about the Iranian people. This time Ahmadinejad decided to start not with defending the very idea of the domestic nuclear cycle, which Tehran calls a national project, but with what he considers even more important -- "the traitors." Did he mean the two former presidents, or are there other opponents of the regime?
The Persian language has a saying that succinctly describes the drama of the seemingly calm situation -- straw-covered water. Right now, it can be used to describe not only the nuclear program but also the situation inside the Iranian political elite and government.

Europe is increasingly willing to agree to harsher economic sanctions against Iran, which seems to be the price to pay to prevent a U.S. military strike against the Islamic republic.

Using a butt plug for men is something that I would highly recommend trying at least once in your life. You may feel uncomfortable with it at first. Most men are in the beginning. On the other hand, once you try it you will finally understand why so many guys in the world are using something like this. It took me years before I got the courage to go through with it and, even then, I wasn't sure it was the right thing to do. After a while, I realized that there is nothing in this life I would prefer playing around with than one of these plugs.
Once you start using a butt plug for men, you will understand how exciting your life could be. I have discovered a completely different side of myself since I have started using these plugs on a regular basis and I am thankful for that. I know that it might be a bit awkward for a guy to use toys of this nature, but it's something that I felt I needed in my life. There are a lot of things in this world that I have always wanted to do but never had the courage. Now I have the courage and I am starting to really love my life.
Go out there and find a butt plug for men that will make you as happy as mine has made me and you will understand. When you do, you will see that the world in front of you has opened up beyond your imagination. You will want to go out there and strive to live every day to its fullest and the happiness you will feel will be beyond anything you have ever experienced. At least that is exactly the way I feel about using my plug most of the time and that is a really good feeling as far as I am concerned.

Rumer Willis Is Already Partying Again
Rumer Willis just watched Demi Moore get taken away in an ambulance after going on a whip-it and K2 Spice bender because she's too beautiful to buy real drugs, I have no fucking clue, so of course Rumer was already out hitting SAG parties by the weekend, according to E! News:
Meanwhile, over the weekend, while Moore was beginning her spiritual counseling, Rumer and her sister Tallulah made the rounds at the Four Seasons spa in Beverly Hills Saturday afternoon. Sunday night, Rumer rejoined Glenn Close and daughter Annie Starke at a Screen Actors Guild Award afterparty at the Chateau Marmont.
In Rumer's defense, it has to be pretty messed up to see your mom acting like a high school burnout, so you do what you have to do to cope with that. Also, she probably feels partially to blame because all those times she rounded a corner and made Demi scream, "DON'T KILL ME, BOXFACEMAN" couldn't have helped. The mind's a delicate instrument.

The Federal Reserve has released the minutes from its last meeting and the market has continued its recent bullish swagger. But not all stocks have been participating in this rally. Here is a trade idea on a stock that looks like it might finally be able to join the bullish party.
TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP): Long Calls
Click to EnlargeThe trade: Buy the August 60 calls for $3.70 or less.
The strategy: Buying a call option is generally used for a bullish outlook on a stock. For this trade to profit, the stock needs to move higher and the call premium needs to increase to an amount more than was paid. Maximum profit is theoretically unlimited because TRIP can continue to rise and the maximum loss is $3.70 or whatever was paid for the option if TRIP finishes below $60 at August expiration. Breakeven is $63.70 at expiration based on a cost of $3.70.
The rationale: TripAdvisor is an online travel advisory service. The company is a spin-off from Expedia (EXPE) just over a year ago. The company looks to be growing and hopes to challenge Priceline.com (PCLN) someday. That is all well and good but the stock has been declining over the last couple of sessions. In fact it has dropped sp much that t has now fallen to an upward sloping trendline which may act as a support area and move the stock higher again. That is what this trading idea is counting on happening. Even though the stock has fallen, it is technically still in an uptrend over the last month. The stock has set higher pivot highs and lows in the last month and will continue to do so (at least a higher pivot low) if it does currently reverse off of the support area. TRIP needs to take a trip higher!

On Tuesday morning, the investors of US Airways (LCC) and American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) woke up with a shocking development. After gaining approval of the European Union, the merger was blocked by the Department of Justice. As a reaction, the share price of US Airways plunged by 10% and American Airlines lost about 60% of its market value. What's going to happen now?
First, let me remind you one thing. A block by the U.S. Justice Department is not the same as a court decision even though it can delay things greatly by lengthening the process considerably. The U.S. Justice Department believes that the merger will violate U.S. antitrust law, lead to less competition, and allow for the merged company to have higher pricing power, hurting customers in the long run. At this point, the DOJ is not a decision maker, but it is a plaintiff in the lawsuit (even though it will be a decision maker later on because the merger can't happen without DOJ's approval).
Even though a number of states and local governments spoke out against the merger, no one was expecting the federal government to be involved in this, especially with a lawsuit. Looks like all the analysts, investors and the management of both companies were caught off guard.
The federal government's involvement doesn't guarantee any kind of results though. The courts may or may not side with the plaintiff in this case, so all is not lost yet. The largest 5 airlines currently account for 86% of the air traffic in the US where number 4 happens to be the American Airlines and number 5 happens to be the US Airways. Combining together, the two airlines would form the country's (and possibly the world's) largest airline by volume. In process, this would reduce the number of airline companies that control 86% of the traffic from 5 to 4 companies. This would give the big four tremendous power in setting ticket prices, which is the biggest worry for the Justice Department. This is also one of the strongest cases that can be used against the merger at the court.
It is said that American Airlines and US Airways compete in about 1,000 routes across the country and a possible merger would kill all this competition. As a result, this would hurt consumers who would have to face much higher ticket prices. At least the company wouldn't have to offer as many promotions as it does today due to lack of major competition in many of the routes after the merger. Furthermore, the merged company would control 69% of the take-offs and landings in Reagan National Airport located in the nation's capital. Apparently, this is another thing that bothers the federal government.
Actually, the block didn't come out of the blue. Last month, there were reports mentioning a possible lawsuit against the merger where six states would join the DOJ. I'm actually surprised that investors didn't pay attention to these reports last month and they are freaking out right now as if the sky is falling.
So what could happen in court? The court could completely block the merger, which is probably a slim possibility. The court could also ask the companies to give some concessions before the merger, which would result in a delay in the merger but it would still happen. US Airways and American Airlines could make a comeback by asking the DOJ to demonstrate that their merger is different from the mergers that were already approved, such as the merger of Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) and Northwest awhile back. After all, why approve one merger while blocking another if they are the not all that different?
Regardless of whether the merger happens or not, the investors of US Airways should not be too worried. In fact, I believe that they over panicked. Last year, I wrote several pieces of US Airways and I was invested in the company. I kept saying that the company was a great investment regardless of the merger, and many people didn't agree with me. The company's share price jumped from the $3s to $10s, then to the $13s and then to the $18s. There are very few companies that can remain to be undervalued after such a strong rally; however, US Airways is one of these companies. The company trades for only 5 times of last year's earnings. US Airways has about $21 per share in cash, whereas, the company's stock price is as low as $17. No matter how you cut it, US Airways is pretty cheap.
In fact, one could even argue that the company would be worth more without the merger. The merger was expected to be valued at $13 billion and the investors of US Airways were scheduled to get 28% of the new company, valuing the company at $3.65 billion which is only 6 times last year's earnings even though that would be above today's share price.
If the merger doesn't happen, investors of American Airlines will be in a more complicated situation than the investors of US Airways. We don't really know what the value of American Airlines would be after emerging from bankruptcy alone, especially with the current management. I think the merger will happen after limited concessions though. As I mentioned above, there has already been mergers similar to this one and they were approved.
Today, I bought some calls of US Airways with a strike price of $17.00 expiring in January 2015. I've been long in this company on and off since last year.
Disclosure: I am long LCC. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Additional disclosure: I'm long @17.00 calls expiring in Jan2015.

Cambrian explosion
"The key element in deciphering the Cambrian explosion (11) is to integrate the expanding insights of molecular phylogeny (12) and developmental biology with the totality of paleontological evidence, including the Ediacaran assemblages. Somewhere, and this is the tricky point, in the Ediacaran assemblages are animals that may throw particular light on key transitions. Of these, the most significant are those between sponges and diploblasts, cnidarians and triploblasts, as well as the early evolution of the three superclades of triploblast (deuterostomes, ecdysozoans, and lophotrochozoans) (Fig. 1). The overall framework of early metazoan evolution comes from molecular data, but they cannot provide insights into the anatomical changes and associated changes in ecology that accompanied the emergence of bodyplans during the Cambrian explosion. The fossil record provides, therefore, a unique historical perspective."

"BOR-ING!" Shouted Shawna, and pushed a button. Everybody was hit by streetcars exept for John, and they went away. John was bored, so he went to a bar and got raging drunk. The two widows sighed... deep and meaningfully, it's a shame they had always argued in the past, because it could've been a nice friendship for the present and indeed the future. They were bored of people shout 'Bor-ing' it was so childish.
While people tried to figure out what the hell the last couple sentances were about, John was STILL roaring drunk. He got up to see what the jukebox had on it.
"Jet"!!!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
"I like that song" countered Linda. "They should have unplugged yer keyboard like they did with Yoko...that way you couldn't do any damage." The suprise of his unnatural life came when she hauled off and hit him square in the jaw.
"Go Linda!" a voice said from behind them, they swiveled 'rond and there was Brian Epstien leaning against a wall smiling. "Long time no see!"
"BRIAN!!!" John shouted and gave him a huge hug follwed by a rather polite one from Linda. "Welcome to the otherside, love," he said. "And Beyond!" John sang. Why was John in such a chirpy mood? Because Brian was back!

Mr. Anderson was hired to represent me in trial for a dui that I was not guilty of. Its a long story but to make it short. I was in jail for 30 days and never was visited by or had any face to face contact with my attorney. I requested it over the phone to see him through family, but he would not return their calls and never came to consult with me his client he billed $2500. The two court three court dates that I had Mr Anderson was unprepaired and each time asked for an extension because he was not prepaired and though he had a month delay he never once visited me to ask me what happened and to tell me what we would need to get prepaired for trial. (Crazy thing is that his office is directly across the street from the courthouse and Jail, 3minute walk). Took my money, handled my case the way he and the judge( (Andrew Wierengo) he was in bed with wanted to handle it seeing as they both worked to put people in a probation program that they got paid per person they admitted. Very corrupt attorney and for that matter town. My telling him I was not guilty, my telling him my plea was not guilty, didnt make any difference. Not a good attorney. Unprepaired, did not keep me informed, not at all knowledgeable, not responsive, and no where near trustworthy. Very corrupt. BEWARE!!

'World's biggest hacker' arrested
Page Tools
Police in London say they have arrested a British man wanted in the United States as allegedly the biggest military computer hacker of all time.
Gary McKinnon, 39, will face extradition proceedings over claims he gained illegal access and made alterations to 53 US military and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002.
Washington has put the estimated cost of tracking and correcting the alleged problems at about $US1 million ($A1.31 million).
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said Mr McKinnon was being held at a central London police station.
An unemployed computer systems administrator from north London, Mr McKinnon allegedly hacked into computer networks operated by NASA, the US Army, US Navy, Department of Defence and the US Air Force.
One network belongs to the Pentagon.
Mr McKinnon was indicted in 2002 by a Federal Grand Jury on eight counts of computer-related crimes in 14 different states.
The indictment said he hacked into an army computer at Fort Myer, Virginia, obtained administrator privileges and transmitted codes, information and commands before deleting about about 1300 user accounts.
It alleged he also "deleted critical system files", copied a file containing usernames and encrypted passwords and installed tools to gain unauthorised access to other computers.
Paul McNulty, the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said at the time of the indictment: "Mr McKinnon is charged with the biggest military computer hack of all time".

Clothing Label "Angry White Girl" Drops Michelle McGee
Talk about a public relations nightmare: say the name of your hardcore "fashion" line is Angry White Boy Clothing and Apparel (women's line called Angry White Girl, natch). Then consider what might happen when news emerges that your spokesmodel was not only bonking America's Sweetheart's husband, but is faced with all manner of touchy white supremacist allegations. Oh and don't forget, the name of the line she fronts is called ANGRY WHITE GIRL. Ooooh, sticky!
That's why the company has announced they're parting ways with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, and on their site, they've posted a bunch of swastikas with red lines drawn through with a note that says, "This clothing line is not a racist or fascist band! Period!" Way to spin-doctor a delicate sitch. Thanks for clarifying, guys! [New York Post]

The promo video gives first look at Jeffrey Wright as Valentin Narcisse and shares glimpses of some fight scenes.
To tide fans over the fall premiere of "Boardwalk Empire" season 4, HBO has released the first teaser for the new installment. It highlights the first meeting of Steve Buscemi's Nucky Thompson and Jeffrey Wright's Valentin Narcisse, one of the new characters on the show.
"Mr. Thompson, an honor to have finally made your acquaintance," Narcisse greets Nucky and corrects him when Nucky calls him Mr. Narcisse instead of Dr. Narcisse. He also says, "Only kings understand each other."
Other scenes preview the return of Stephen Graham's Al Capone and Michael Kenneth Williams' Chalky White, as well as offer brief glimpses of several fights.
The exact premiere date of "Boardwalk Empire" season 4 hasn't been announced yet. The new chapter adds Ron Livingston and Patricia Arquette besides Wright to the cast ensemble and has been reported to feature another new character, a Sicilian gangster.

My surgeon told me this week I have capsular contracture level 2. My breast is firm and painful when I sleep on my stomach or hit into anything. There is no change of shape it's just a little higher then the right. Would this actually be level 3? Is there a certain time period where you know if it will progress or not progress? Does sleeping on your stomach help or hurt capsular contracture? I have silicone under the muscle. Thank you
Is There a Time Line for Capsular Contracture Progression?
Doctor Answers 5
Capsular contracture
Everyone progresses differently and some do not progress. However, if the implant is high and painful it sounds like a three. But this is all semantics. If it bothers you, you may want to consider revision surgery.
The only real question with capsular contracture is: "Does it bother you?"
If you have pain, then it is at least a Class III capsular contracture. And it might stay just like it is now, or get slowly worse. But at any given time, you don't have to treat it unless the symptoms are bothering you enough. If this is only bothering you a little bit, it might be best to leave it alone.
If you do have a revision, using Alloderm helps prevent recurrence.
Capsular contracture timeline
Everyone is different. Some patients develop a capsule which remains constant and does not worsen whereas, for others, the capsule continues to harden, producing pain and disfigurement of the breast. Sleeping on your stomach would have no effect on the internal capsule. You have the option of watchful waiting or could undergo open capsulectomy. You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon and then create a plan.
You might also like...
Time line for capsular contracture
There is no time line for capsular contracture, and some implants firm a bit though never get any worse. To compare surgeons have a grade 1 to 4 classification, and your description is about a 3 with an implant that is firm and visibly different (higher) than the other. With luck you could stay that way, or relax to a 2 without any visible difference in the breast.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Progression of Breast Capsular Contracture
The commonly used Baker Classification for breast implant capsular contracture is:
Baker I - soft breast without significant scar tissue (Normal)
Baker II - scar tissue around the implant felt by touch but not visible (Almost normal)
Baker III - visible and palpable hardening, leading to a deformed shape to the breast (Abnormal)
Baker IV - a hard breast that is very painful to even mild touch (Most severe)
So unless you have pain due to other causes, you may have a grade 4. Sleeping on your stomach will not make it worse. In most cases, surgery to remove the capsule is the best option.

Harrison, 33, floored Davis in the opening round, then forced the referee to stop the fight in the seventh.
"I am just glad to be back," said Harrison who now has a 18-0 pro record.
"Once I relaxed and figured out my opponent's tactics, I was able to use my jab, look for opportunities and take advantage of them when I could."
Harrison will now return to his base in Las Vegas and head straight back to training as he looks to finally break through into big time in 2005.

Energy minister Rich Coleman will sit down Tuesday with the president of BC Hydro to hammer out a timeline for $800-million in spending cuts at the Crown corporation that will spell major job losses.
"We're going to walk through the recommendations and set out expectations – I don't want this to sit on the shelf and collect dust," Mr. Coleman said in an interview Monday.
The cuts are recommended in a review, commissioned by Mr. Coleman and made public last week, that aims to rein in proposed electricity rate hikes.
BC Hydro's president, Dave Cobb, has agreed with the government's demand that Hydro cut its requested rate hikes in half – to 16 per cent from 32 per cent over three years.
But Mr. Cobb is resisting the formula laid out by the panel for cuts. The panel of three senior bureaucrats concluded that the Crown, with the equivalent of 6,000 full-time positions, needs to trim its payroll dramatically.
"The panel believes that a more reasonable staffing level would be in the order of 4,800 employees," the report states. Mr. Cobb countered that the costs could be contained while maintaining a staff of 5,600.
The unions representing Hydro workers have also lashed out. On Monday, David Black, president of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378, called the panel's report "deeply flawed" and called for the government to go back to the drawing board.
But Mr. Coleman stood by the panel's recommendation. "I think the report was pretty clear that it should be 4,800 people – I think we have to work to that."Report Typo/Error

As the planting season progresses, there have been questions on possible spore movement from overwintering regions to the Gulf Coast states, such as Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, which are considered more epidemiologically important sources to spread inoculum to the northern states. It is expected that each new event reported may lead people to think of its potential impact on the future spread of the disease. This article addresses some of the issues.
Current status
According to reports from the eastern-southern states, soybean rust has been confirmed in a kudzu patch in central Alabama with a few leaves showing symptoms. The infected plants have been removed. No new infections were found in a previously infected kudzu patch in Georgia, where infected plants have been destroyed. There has been no new sporulation noticed in kudzu in northern Florida, possibly due to lack of rainfall and dry conditions. Recent rainfalls in the southern region are likely to favor rust development, although the level of activity is yet to be determined.
There are two active source areas for soybean rust in the eastern-southern region that includes Florida and Alabama. New development from current regions will depend on rains during this and next week. New development is more likely to be seen in a few weeks after the effects of recent rains take place. Last week, findings of yet-to-be-confirmed activity of soybean rust in a Mexican soybean growing area have been a consideration for potential reintroduction of the fungus to the continental United States. In the same way, new detections in May in other southern states could affect the disease in fields in those regions if favorable weather conditions continue.
Mexico effects
In a previous article [2], we showed that better climate conditions for the disease to establish and for the fungus to sporulate in Texas soybean fields are found earlier in the season up to the time soybeans already reached flowering--by late June. Since inoculum is less available early there, and so far no finding has been confirmed, an assessment of spore reintroduction from Mexico may help to better evaluate the threat to U.S. soybeans.
We used simulation models to map potential spread and deposition of spores using 30-year historical data. Results showed that during May, there is a low probability of the spores reaching northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska from Mexico (generally a 1- in 10-year event). Most of the spores would reach areas in the South where soybean is less cultivated. Although this is good news, it is only an example of the low suitability of climate to spread the rust to the United States from a Mexican source using a model that accounts for spore transport and survival. Other undetected sources may exist in the South with less significant importance in spore production.
At this time, kudzu is growing well in Texas and no rust is confirmed, possibly due to a dry period that occurred. With increasing rainfall in northern regions of the state, the risk for the disease to establish increases as well. If inoculum is present or reintroduced from Mexico, it is likely rust will first be found on kudzu plants in Texas. If favorable weather conditions continue, rust should not be found earlier than mid-June on spring-planted soybeans. Because of wind direction and speed, it is important to focus our attention on new reports from the South, especially Alabama, Texas, and Louisiana.
We thank Kwang-soo Kim for assistance with the computer simulation and the Iowa check-off dollars for funding.

GREAT CRUISE, VERY NICE SHIP: Ruby Princess Cruise Review by HazeGray
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
We flew in a day before and took the Alilaguna Water Bus from the airport to a bus stop right at our hotel for 15 Euro each. We chose a hotel, the NH Manin because it is right at the Sant' Angelo bus stop on the Grand Canal. You walk off the landing and take an immediate right and the door faces the canal. It was a good location; only minutes walk from St. Marks Square and the Rialto Bridge. The hotel room was a good size for Europe and they provide a full breakfast. We shared a water/land taxi combination to the ship which deposited us right at baggage drop off. We arranged the transportation through our hotel and it cost 100 Euro which we were fortunately able to share with another couple. All transportation in Venice is expensive, including the local vaporetti or water bus. More
Embarkation was well organized; we checked in quickly and were provided a number for boarding. We waited only about 20 minutes and by the time we boarded around 1:00PM, our cabin was ready.
Our cabin was on Deck 14, all the way aft. It was a great location, near the Terrace pool, a bar, and the buffet.
The ship was clean and well maintained. The wait staff and cabin steward did a great job and were friendly and helpful.
The food in the buffet was among the best we have had in over 13 cruises. The quality and selection was excellent. There always seemed to be plenty of room to sit and service was excellent for water, coffee, and other such refreshments.
We had the second seating for formal dining and the food too was quite good, although I must say some of the more unusual dishes we have encountered. We had great table companions and spending many enjoyable evenings conversing.
This is a port intensive cruise with only two at sea days. But you really see a lot of beautiful scenery and ancient ruins. It is fascinating how advanced the Greek and Roman civilizations were 2000 years ago. One of the highlights of this cruise was the stop in Kusadasi Turkey which gave us access the ancient Roman city of Ephesus which was one of our more interesting stops. This city is huge and still partially buried. We took the optional tour of the Terrace houses which is not far out of the way, just a lot of steps. It was well worth it to see how the wealthy lived long ago. We took the ship's excursions in all ports which may be more expensive then local tours, but they proved to be excellent. The guides were very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. The buses were new and comfortable. The meals provided on two of our tours were excellent local fare.
We found the theater entertainment lacking in variety and quality. The ships singers and dancers were excellent but we did not see as much of them as we would have liked. Some nights there was no theater production. One comedian was OK but the mentalist put us to sleep, maybe he was really a hypnotist. This poor showing of shows was the only drawback to an excellent cruise. We particularly enjoyed the "Movies Under the Stars". This is a great feature for Carnival and Princess, we watched several movies.
Disembarkation in Civitavecchia was well organized. Within a couple days of boarding, we were provided a form to indicate when we wanted to go ashore. We had to be out of our cabins by 8:00 but could stay in the lounges or Buffet until leaving. Once we left, our luggage was readily available and our transportation to Rome was right on time. We stayed over a few days in Rome and used Bobs Limo for transportation. It was a pleasant ride to our hotel in downtown Rome. We stayed at the Hotel Adriano. The room was comfortable with great air conditioning along with a full breakfast. Additionally, it was a great location, within walking distance of most attractions; Vatican City, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and the main shopping street Via del Corso.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, I will be assisting you with your question. A contract normally requires no notice of termination when it expires naturally at the end of the contract term. The exception is for contracts which automatically renew. Some of those contracts require notice of either party should they intend not to renew. If notice is not provided then renewal occurs automatically.
The standard situation of a contract term ending requires no notice to terminate. This is because the contract has concluded at there is nothing to terminate at the end of the contract term. Termination clauses normally refer to a situation where the parties want to terminate before the end of the stated contract term.
A termination clause can be for no cause with only a 90 day notice, but that does not impact the end of a contract term or create any notice obligation prior to the end of the term. You are right that there is a difference between business ethics and the law. Often something maybe ethically questionable, but not a breach of contract.
Yes, you should be prompted to leave feedback after accepting the answer.
Thank you again

This week Will Ferrell has been out and about promoting his new film, The Other Guys. And whether or not you care to see it on the big screen, there's no denying this: Ferrell is sorely missed on late-night TV.
Take a look at his hilarious appearance on last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The two did a sketch that would've killed on SNL ... and, as expected, Jimmy had a hard time playing it straight:
Ferrell also did The Daily Show this week, where he wore sunglasses and mocked Rob Riggle:
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c

Tonight you can catch Will on TBS' Lopez Tonight. What he'll do is anyone's guess, but there's a good chance it'll be worth watching.

|Not exactly what I had in mind.
Here's how it works: she does something slightly obnoxious that sets me off (taking 40 minutes to get dressed in the morning, for example.) And instead of taking a deep breath and being all June Cleaver-y or Paltrow-y or some other reasonable standard of maternal perfection, I react badly. About half the time I totally lose my schmidt. And if I don't yell at her, I end up using that horrible I'm-not-actually-yelling-at-you-but-I'm-evil-and-scary voice that fools no one and probably leaves deep emotional scars.

People love an adrenaline rush, which is why we play extreme sports and go bulk shopping. Go big with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $29 for entry to the 5K TAILGATE and after-party (a $60 value)
5K TAILGATE takes place at Green Meadow Farms on Saturday, October 12, 2013—The day before the Seahawks vs. Titans game. The race begins at 10:30 a.m. with waves leaving every 5 minutes. Entry includes a white custom 5K TAILGATE shirt, a race bib, one packet of color (in Seattle Seahawks colors), sponsor souvenirs, and a surprise giveaway. Participants are encouraged to wear white or their favorite team's football jerseys.
Portions of the proceeds from the 5K go toward Dollar Per Month, a volunteer-run organization that raises funds for a variety of charities. American Idol finalist Blake Lewis will also be in attendance at the post-race tailgate party.
Tailgating parties usually happen on game day. The 5K TAILGATE gleefully bucks this tradition, however, channeling the energy and revelry normally reserved for football outings to host a 5K color run and, of course, a rousing tailgate party. Once suited up in white t-shirts or their local team's football jerseys, participants jog their way through the verdant Mountain Meadows Farm as volunteers lob colored powder at them along the way.
At the end of the run, prismatic participants can chow down on BBQ goodies and rehydrate with cold beers. All the while, live DJs and musicians regale eardrums with pulse-pounding tunes, and photo booths help preserve memories and spot-on Marty Feldman impersonations.

This is a selector to help you discern which Christian traditions most accord with your beliefs. I apologize for any oversights, either in the available denominational traditions or in the survey options and answers. Many of these are vast oversimplifications, and it is very hard to set options when there are often many differing views even within certain denominations. Enjoy!

1. What should the relationship be between Scripture and church tradition?
They should be given equal authority, for the Holy Spirit speaks through both.
Early church tradition should be given strong authority (even as a test of orthodoxy, though not quite equal with Scripture), before the church became caught in scholastic nonsense in the Middle Ages.
Consulting church tradition is useful for the development of creeds and other formulations, but is by no means important compared with Scripture.
Creeds and other documents from church tradition should be used little or not at all, for Scripture is clear enough to speak on its own.
Not sure

Low Priority
High Priority
2. What is the relationship between the Law of God and the Christian?
"We are not under law but under grace" - This statement not only means that the Law cannot condemn believers, but also that they may live whatever life they want and still be saved.
Only those portions of the Law that are re-stated in the New Testament are binding on believers - all of the Old Testament has been set aside for the Christian unless re-instated in the New.
Only the ceremonial (and possibly judicial) portion of the Old Testament Law has been fulfilled, and believers are still obliged to obey the Law, though it no longer condemns them. If they violate it without repentance, however, they show they are not Christians.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
3. What is the correct understanding of the Biblical topic of predestination?
God predestines all things and elects a people to salvation; however, it is possible for them to lose their eternal salvation.
God doesn't predestine all things and only elects to save those whom He knew ahead of time would believe in Him.
God predestines all things, and elects some people to salvation while actively reprobating others and sending them to Hell (in a manner consistent with second causes, namely their free will).
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
4. What is your view regarding speaking in tongues and the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
Speaking in tongues is the immediate evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit (which occurs after salvation), and is the priviledge of all people baptized in the Spirit for the rest of their lives.
Speaking in tongues is not the result of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, but is a gift given to some believers for the edification of the church.
The word "tongues" in the N.T. means actual languages, and was primarily a first-century sign to validate the apostles' commission from God, and largely ceased once the N.T. was written.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
5. If someone is saved, can he ever lose his salvation?
This is the wrong question, because it presumes a revival-like notion of walking the aisle and "making a decision for Christ," which is foreign to Scripture.
Yes, someone who is eternally saved can lose his salvation by failing to persevere.
No, someone who is saved can never lose his salvation, no matter what he does or what happens.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
6. What is the correct attitude regarding things like moderate drinking and ballroom dancing?
They're OK if you don't get too crazy about it and abuse your liberty in Christ.
Drinking and dancing are forms of worldliness, which every Christian must reject.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
7. When did the church begin?
In the New Testament. In the Old Testament God's people was Israel, but God established a new covenant with an entirely new people in the New Testament. The church and Israel are separate bodies in God's plan of salvation.
The church can be seen as the same body as Israel, except with new characteristics in the New Testament. God doesn't have any future plans for the nation of Israel as distinct from the church.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
8. What type of church government is most Biblical?
Congregational - the most basic level of the church is the local church or congregation, and most decisions are either made by the congregation as a whole (by voting) or by the pastor(s)/elders.
Presbyterian - the most basic level of the church is the presbytery, a body of elders, equal in rank, who administer a grouping of local churches within the presbytery.
Hierarchical/episcopal - fundamental level of the church is the diocese, ruled by a bishop with priests/ministers beneath him in local churches.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
9. What type of worship is most suitable for a Sunday morning church service?
A traditional service mainly focused on the sermon, with traditional psalms and/or hymns and a minimal amount of "ritual".
A contemporary service, focused mainly on a practical, relevant sermon, and with a lot of contemporary music and instruments.
A formal, liturgical service with a roughly equal amount of time dedicated to the sermon and to the other elements, usually or always including communion.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
10. What is your view regarding the Sabbath or Lord's Day?
The God-ordained day of worship is Sunday in the New Testament, in order to commemorate Christ's resurrection on that day.
There is no exact or rough equivalent of the Sabbath in the New Testament, so the church may meet any day, and not necessarily Sunday.
The Sabbath was Saturday in the Old Testament and must remain Saturday in the New, in order to honor the Fourth Commandment.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:
Low Priority
High Priority
11. What is the correct belief concerning baptism?
Only adult believers past the age of accountability should be baptized, and baptism is mainly just an outward sign of an inward reality (regeneration).
Only adult believers past the age of accountability should be baptized, and through baptism we are made members of Christ's body and given new life.
Both adult believers and their children should be baptized, though the child's baptism is really only significant if he invites Christ into his heart when he is older.
Both adult believers and their children should be baptized, and through baptism all become heirs of eternal life and are incorporated into God's family.

12. What is the correct belief concerning the Lord's Supper/communion/the Eucharist?
The bread and wine are actually changed in substance to Christ's body and blood, so that they are no more bread and wine in essence, but exclusively the body and blood of our Lord.
The bread and wine are changed so that they become one in substance with Christ's body and blood, that their essence is changed into the body and blood without losing their natural properties.
The bread and wine remain only bread and wine in substance, but by partaking them, faithful believers receive Christ's physical body and blood through the power of the Spirit.
The bread and wine remain only bread and wine in substance, and are not means of grace, but are simply a sign of what they represent and a memorial of Christ's sacrifice.

13. Who should be permitted to come to the communion table?
All those who express faith in Jesus Christ should be invited, and no one should be turned away unless he does not identify himself as a Christian.
Those who express faith in Christ and have been baptized should be invited, and church officials should "fence" the table to ensure that no excommunicant or heretic partakes of the elements.
Only those who are members of your own denomination should be invited.
Not sure
Prioritize your choice above:

14. What should the relationship be between church and state?
The state should not have an official institutional church, but it should abide by the Law of God in all matters and should recognize Him; and morality can be enforced.
The state should not have an official institutional church, and should stay out of matters of conscience, morality and religion, neither encouraging nor discouraging them; faith is a private matter.
Not only should religion and state be separate, but Christians should not be involved in government roles, including fighting in the military, because ours is a heavenly calling and we serve a different kingdom.

15. What is the future of people when they die?
They go either to Heaven or Hell in a state of consciousness, and the bodies are raised on the last day to rejoin their souls, either to eternal life or eternal damnation.
They go to Heaven, Hell, or purgatory (if they're headed for Heaven but need to be cleansed of their sins first), and the bodies are raised on the last day to rejoin their souls, either to eternal life or eternal damnation.
They are unconscious - the saved until they're raised up to everlasting life, the wicked until they're raised up and consumed.

16. What is your belief regarding eschatology (the "end times")?
The rapture is imminent, when believers are taken off the Earth, followed by a period of tribulation for unbelievers, after which Christ returns to earth with the believers to reign for 1,000 years.
^ Above view, except the believers reign with Christ from heaven during the 1,000 years instead of earth, and this is the period for judgement of unbelievers.
The 1,000 years are not literal but symbolic of the period between Christ's 1st and 2nd comings (now). There is no separate rapture for believers, and both believers and non-believers will be resurrected at the same time.

The axing of ABC Radio National has been considered by management to save money, according to a senior ABC executive.
The manager told The Sunday Age the idea was first floated last year and is "almost certain" to be revisited by management in budget talks in the next two months.
The option of axing the network was floated last year by Sue Howard, the director of ABC Radio, according to the manager, and was part of a draft options paper which went as far as the ABC's director of business services, David Pendleton.
According to the senior manager, the idea was shelved for fear of both industrial action by ABC staff and of a strong community backlash.
The next few monthly meetings of the ABC executive will be dominated by budget discussions. "It will almost certainly be looked at again," said the manager, who declined to be named. "Sue never liked it, she has very little regard for it."
Ms Howard is known to hold the view that the service is dull. "If you want boring as bat shit, go listen to Radio National," she is known to have told colleagues in her division.
Radio National features presenters such as Phillip Adams, Robyn Williams, Norman Swann and Ramona Koval. "It is one of the great institutions within the institution, and it is run on a shoestring," said the manager. "It would cause uproar internally and externally if they closed it down."
Staff at Radio National were yesterday unaware the service's future was being discussed.
The talks about Radio National's future occurred during the tense build-up to cuts in the ABC's spending which brought about the dumping last August of the long-running school show Behind the News, the World at Noon and the corporation's cadet training program in an attempt to save $26 million.
Ms Howard and Mr Pendleton, through ABC corporate spokesman Shane Wells, declined to comment yesterday. Mr Wells said there were no plans to close any ABC radio network.
"The ABC Board at the end of July last year approved a range of measures to ensure the ABC continues to operate within budget.
"Obviously the closure of Radio National was not part of that decision.
"The ABC does not speculate on any individual item that may have been considered or discussed as part of the budget approval process."
The ABC section secretary of the Community and Public Sector Union, Graeme Thomson, said: "Any manager at the ABC that would even contemplate such an idea should be sacked immediately."
The Victorian president of the Friends of the ABC, Terry Laidler, said yesterday that the group had not heard of the possible closure of Radio National.
"We'd oppose it stridently," he said. "But we probably wouldn't have to work very hard because it would be final confirmation that the ABC board had lost touch with its audience and had absolutely no understanding of its charter if they even considered such a thing.
A spokeswoman for Communications Minister Daryl Williams said: "We're not aware of any such proposal."
Opposition communications spokesman Lindsay Tanner said the demise of Radio National "would be a dark day for public broadcasting" and a capitulation to pressure from the Howard Government.
