Tom Mitchell, a rugged tight end who helped the Colts win Super Bowl V in the 1970 season, died of cancer Sunday night at his home in Cape Coral, Fla. He was 72.
"Tom was a tremendous route-runner with fly-trap hands who wanted to win and who took no prisoners," said Bruce Laird, a Colts defensive back who played with Mitchell for two years.
Combative and fiercely competitive, Mitchell played six years in Baltimore (1968 through 1973), during which he made 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns. A backup to Hall of Famer John Mackey early on, Mitchell blossomed in 1971, and the next year caught a career-high 40...

You can use the following voipo coupons to get discount. You will be able to save money on monthly or yearly subscription of Voipo.
How to use voipo promo code:
Go to this Voipo site page to know latest discount available.
When you can get something impressive for a bargain price, it always feels good – a bit of a moral victory over those people who claim that you only ever get what you pay for. There are many of us who will always pay the listed price for something, because we don't think to shop around. When you realise how much money you can save by checking different places and using, for example, a Voipo promo code, you'll never take the first price you see again. The difference that is made by getting something for nothing (or very nearly nothing) can be life-changing, and can certainly free up some cash in your account.
Voipo promo codes are not that difficult to find, and they will cut a large amount from your monthly bill. If you use the system beneficially, you are sure to have a pretty low bill anyway, but once you're saving a few dollars, you'll want to save a few more. It becomes almost compulsive, and the great thing about saving money is that it makes you aware of where and how you can make other savings. In this day and age we are all thinking about how we can spend a bit less, so as to make it through the tricky financial climate, and avoiding unnecessary expenditure is vital.
VoIP calling (sometimes also known as VOP for Voice Over Packet) is revolutionising the communications industry with the bigger phone companies, who have made their fortune from the old way of calling, now looking nervously over their shoulders at the younger companies who have harnessed the potential of the internet to make us change the way we call. Most of the cannier big companies are now looking at adapting their range to take advantage of this new way of calling. By the end of this decade, most of us will use VoIP as our standard home phone service, and many already are.
One company that always leads the pack when it comes to VoIP phone reviews is Voipo. They are certainly not the biggest name in the business at the moment, but the chances are that they will keep moving up through the pack like they have been doing. A look at the opinions posted by users addressing the "Voipo vs Vonage" question will show that although Vonage may be a bigger name right now, their younger contender is scoring all sorts of points in all of the right areas; from pricing structure to customer services. And the deals they offer are hugely impressive, making the service all the more attractive to a VoIP beginner.
Is Voipo A Scam?
So quickly has Voipo established itself as a contender in the market that people have started to assume the company is making claims it cannot back up, with many supporters of other services dropping hints about the Voipo scam. In some cases, this has led to people reacting to any flaw in their service with concerns that they may have been scammed. However, a quick look on the internet's many VoIP forums shows an interesting result; Voipo's management are active on forums and interested in problem-solving by engaging with users. The outcome of these efforts is invariably positive, showing the benefits of a proactive approach to solving issues.
The level of Voipo complaints to be found online is tiny compared to the level found for other operators of the same size; and if you find you have a problem with your Voipo ATA service (for example), you will find that there are plenty of people, whether representatives of the company or customers, who will be able to take you through the troubleshooting process. That process will invariably be simple and intuitive, which is another thing that is making Voipo one of the most popular new VoIP providers on the market at the moment. With a small amount of help and a Voipo adapter, you don't even need to throw away your old phone to enjoy VoIP calling.
Services like Voipo Asterisk, which allows you to bring multiple lines on to your Voipo account, or Voipo Blacklist, which allows you to block calls from numbers you have no wish to converse with, are the mark of a company that is listening to its users. These are all available at a particularly low cost, and with the use of Voipo promo codes you can have a system that makes your old standard phone line look pretty redundant. Nonetheless, you don't need to get rid of the old phone or even your phone system; you can let Voipo take the bulk of the necessary calls and use your home phone for calls you want to take more time over; if that's what you are comfortable with.
Customer Service; How Do Voipo Reviews Grade Them?
The importance of customer service in this day and age is something that cannot be ignored. If people are paying money for a service or product, they are entitled to expect that the company providing it goes to the effort of helping them with any issues that result. The good news for people checking out Voipo is that the company has focussed very heavily on providing the very best customer service possible. As well as being able to contact them by phone, you will notice that the company is very active online, and it is highly impressive the way the company uses its online knowledge to deal with problems and complaints; all with a minimum of fuss.
Whether it is for the Voipo BYOD system (it stands for Bring Your Own Device) or the Voipo Fax service, you will find that your queries online will be answered in short order, whether you are posting on a users forum or sending a message to the Voipo Twitter account. This is a big deal; there are a lot of companies who limit their customer services and tech support to a single phone number which is only open at certain times of the day. Offering more ways of getting in contact means that you can get every little problem sorted out without having to wait too long or jump through hoops with an automated telephone line that passes you from one department to another.
In all honesty, the impression many people have of Voipo.com as a smaller company is not quite accurate. Certainly, it is a pretty independent service, but it is backed by the major online hosting company Hostgator. Although all of the technical aspects of VoIP calling are handled by Voipo, Hostgator being involved does mean that they can commit funding to fixing areas of the service that need fixing, and to adding new aspects to the service. The heads of the company have been very open about the fact that the system itself is highly modular; so if they want or need to add something to it, they can do so with a minimum of fuss; if there is something you would like to see them add, contacting them is not a stupid idea.
Making Money With Voipo
The more technically minded among us can even become Voipo resellers, as the company has a system that rewards you for alerting other people to the many benefits of the system. Your role here is simply to sell – the overall administration of the account and the technical support involved will remain the responsibility of Voipo LLC, but you can remain involved. There is quite a large level of take-up for this system because when you have used Voipo yourself you will find that you want to tell people about this system that works so well. It also makes it important that you know all about the best Voipo promo codes, because if you can offer a potential customer an extra saving it will make them all the more likely to go for it.
A good Voipo promo code is one tool you will have in your armory if you decide to get involved in the reseller program; there are countless others you can look forward to. The Voipo forwarding system is very slick indeed and something that all users will want to know about. Being able to forward calls to your Voipo.com number to any other phone is something that can be invaluable if you know you will have to be away from your computer for a period of time. This is one of the more commented upon features in Voipo reviews, and it stands to make a big difference to how we use our phones.
Voipo International Rates; Another Selling Point?
If you sign up for the right service, then you will find that you get the benefits of cheap international calling, and residential customers qualify immediately for a full hour of international calls free. Voipo international rates are highly competitive in a quite crowded market and this will change the way you think about international calling. If a member of the family, a friend or someone else you need to call is spending time overseas, then being able to contact them is a pretty big deal, and having this freedom can make a big difference. Allied to the right promo code for Voipo.com, it can make a huge difference.
For SIP users, the Voipo SIP service is highly intuitive, although users can always refer to tech support if they need additional help. This makes the system all the more versatile, and if you need the help then all you need to have to hand is the model of your Voipo softphone and your Voipo SIP settings. The Voipo support staff will then take you through the steps you need to get your software active and enable more intuitive use of the system. Although some users have reported Voipo X-lite problems, the company has worked on this and at the time of writing are confident that any such problems have been corrected.
One of the major strengths of the system is the fact that you can route calls to other systems through to your Voipo phone system and vice versa; so if you are unable to sign into Voipo, Google Voice can pick up your voicemail. On the other hand, if you want to have Google Voice calls forwarded through to your Voipo phone this is also possible. The Voipo port forwarding system makes this a very simple process and allows you to tailor your phone systems just how you want them. The Voipo iPhone app also makes it possible to have your Voipo calls picked up on your smart phone. Systems are being developed all the time to make this process easier on other smart phones, too.
The Voipo Vpanel login system has been widely credited by users as being one of the simplest account management systems out there. This may be one of the places where the Voipo/Hostgator connections has come in particularly handy, making the whole system a lot easier to use than many of the more widely recognised systems that you see on billboards all over the world – and with Voipo.com promo codes making it all the cheaper, there really is no reason not to be interested. We're talking here about a system that is easy to use, has excellent support and is available for such a low price that you'd need to be careless with money not to be interested. What's not to like?
Many people are so impressed by the features and the low price on offer that they are signing up immediately for 24 months, and many who have gone through that two-year period have decided to stick with the program even well in advance of their Voipo renewal date. This is a mark of a service that is hitting all the right buttons with the market that it is aimed at. This is a revolution well worth joining, and one which will be having an effect a long way into the future.
Voipo vs Vonage; A Fair Fight?
In one corner, we have the most recognised pure VoIP system in the world, Vonage. In the other, we have Voipo, which could be termed the upstart service. While many people will choose to go with the name that is widely recognised, this would be a mistake. It is easy to assume that the company you see advertised all over the place will be the one with the most muscle behind it and therefore the best one to sign up with; after all, the company that can afford that level of publicity must also be able to afford to give a service that puts all others to shame, right? Well, don't be so quick to assume; there's a lot to be said for Voipo, especially when you can get it at a reduced price.
With a quick look around the internet you will find that there is a lot to recommend it above names that may be more mainstream. For a start, it is cheaper (and with a discount code, the saving becomes even more appealing. The level of support available is something that no company, Vonage included, can even come close to matching (and this is no personal knock on Vonage, which leaves most companies in the shade; you might even argue that it beats out all but one of its competitors). And that's assuming you will need to rely on the support system. Users have commented endlessly on the high level of reliability that Voipo offers its customers.
A Voipo promotional code is not the reason to sign up to Voipo, it should merely be the cherry on the cake; a cake which is already pretty tasty in the first place. Yes, with the right Voipo coupon code you will find the prices dropping steeply, but they were already pretty low to begin with, this merely makes it even more worthwhile. For some people the idea that Voipo is a smaller company is a selling point, but for others it might be a distraction. It is important in this case to remember that Voipo.com has the backing of one of the internet's leading hosting companies, so we are not talking small fry here.
You should see your Voipo.com voucher as a welcome gift for signing up to a company that will offer you more even when the discount voucher has expired. There is already more than enough that is good about this company and which will allow you to enjoy using your phone, and to use it without having to worry about big bills coming in at the end of the month. When we are all having to make cutbacks, it can be disquieting to think that you will go over your budget just for calling a friend or making a complicated technical phone call. This is why it is so beneficial to have a phone supplier that makes it easy and cheap to keep in contact with your nearest and dearest.
There are so many reasons to sign up for the service and few if any not to. On top of the pricing plans and the ready access to reduced calling rates, you can even rely on a nationally-based tech support service; no being routed through to a call center halfway across the world. It makes things a lot more straightforward, and is the final touch of quality on a system that is already packed with great features.

DJ Set...with Live Musicians!
At some point last year, I began a new regular DJ night...which is something a bit different from the norm. Instead of just spinning records, I'm joined periodically by local musicians who add something on top of the record I'm currently playing. It's called "Forty-Five Plus One", and it's proving to be a really good time for everybody. In just the first few nights, I've been joined by singers, rappers, guitarists, keyboardists, bassists, drummers, violinists, trumpeters, percussionists, and a guy playing a modified Nintendo Game Boy. Below, you can watch Jason Hoke from the Epilogues play buckets as I spin "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band.
If you'd like to see Forty-Five Plus One for yourself, the next gig is this coming Saturday, April 6th at 9pm. It's taking place at Rooster and Moon, at 955 Bannock in Denver. See you there!

I have had Guest and Dual Pro chargers in the past, but last year my Guest gave up the ghost. I bought a Minn Kota MK 220 at the beginning of last year and it has worked as well as the others. 10 amps per bank is the minimum I would buy, a 5 amp takes too long to recharge. A nice thing about the Minn Kota is it costs less. There is a 25.00 mail in rebate on Minn Kota chargers right now.
Delphi makes ACDelco and some EverStart (Wal-Mart).
Exide makes Champion, Exide, Napa, and some EverStart.
Johnson Controls makes Diehard (Sears), Duralast (AutoZone), Interstate, Kirkland (Costco), Motorcraft (Ford), and some EverStart.
As you can see, Interstate and Duralast are made by the same company, Interstate just costs more than the Duralast.
Thats what I have and it works for me.

I will never forget meeting a tiny girl near remote khoja Bahauddin, who unbelievably spoke English.
The khoja entertained him as before, though the soup was not quite so rich.
When you do know," said the khoja, "I shall take the trouble of addressing you.
The men looked at each other in dismay, for the khoja was a very popular preacher.
O set your mind at rest," said the khoja; "the cauldron is dead.
After a while the light went out; but the khoja was lazy, and pretended not to observe it, for he did not want to get up.
Saying which, the khoja put the money into his sash and sat down to smoke.
After a while the khoja felt thoroughly chilled, and he went back to bed.
Then said the khoja, "I, who am an old man, could climb that mulberry-tree."
The khoja, obedient man, did his best to follow instructions, and a very dishevelled Seyyid succeeded in escaping into the street.

Ne-Yo returned to the hot seat of Power105.1's 'The Breakfast Club' early Friday morning. Last time the R&B hitmaker visited the show he made a comment about Trey Songz, which was taken too seriously and turned into a bit of a back and forth, so he cleared that up again, spoke about his past baby mama drama which he had revealed in his recent Vh1 'Behind The Music' episode, continued to speak about his brand new album R.E.D. (go pick that up!), and shared his views on R&B releases this year.

New Music: Alicia Keys – "Brand New Me"
Alicia Keys re-discovers herself on the introspective, piano-driven power ballad, "Brand New Me," co-written by Emeli Sandé.
"'Brand New Me' is about the journey it takes to get to a place where you are proud to be a new you," Alicia recently told The BoomBox. "There is nothing wrong with growing. There may be people in your life that knew you for a long time and they think of you only as the person you used to be and not the person you now are. And this song is a conversation introducing them to the new you, where nothing can hold you back and no one can hold you down."
The R&B diva will release her fifth studio album Girl On Fire on November 27th. Take a listen to her latest song below…

New Music: Chris Brown – "Nobody's Perfect" (Radio Rip)
During Chris Brown's visit to Big Boy's Neighborhood on Friday morning, he premiered a brand new song, aptly titled "Nobody's Perfect." A very dance heavy jam. Which could appear to be somewhat of an admittance of his personal relationship issues, but done is a hidden pop way, instead of a more heartfelt ballad. It's what we've come to expect from Breezy now though…
The dance-pop record serves as the first single off Brown's next album titled, "Carpe Diem," due in 2013. Hear the radio rip below…
Chris Brown Talks Rihanna & Controversal Tattoos
Chris Brown has been back making media runs. Early Friday Breezy paid a visit to Big Boy's Neighborhood on Power106 in LA. The R&B star spoke about his current relationship with Rihanna, of course saying they are not back together and just working on their friendship. He does want people to just back off and let them live their lives and work on their situation. Chris admitted in the past they would like paparazzi taking pictures of them, but now he understands that attention is not important and not necessarily healthy, he also explained why he released the recent webisode about his current relationship situation between ex-girlfriend Karrueche and Rihanna.
In an additional clip below, Chris jokes and talks about all his tattoos.
New Music: Johnta Austin feat. JD – "What A Feeling"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/8/2011 (2176 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DADAAB, Kenya -- The people mass outside the gates hundreds deep and eerily still, many squatting in the red dirt holding emaciated children. They wait for water and medicine. But most of all, they wait for an open spot at the world's largest refugee complex.
The worst drought in decades has blistered large parts of the Horn of Africa, turning it into a hellscape of deserted villages and dead rivers. The United Nations says 12 million people need emergency aid.
Those hardest to reach are in Somalia, where a quarter of the country's 7.5 million people are on the move. Help has been blocked by al-Shabab, a militant group linked to al-Qaida, which controls some famine-stricken areas and is suspicious of foreign-aid agencies.
The result is streams of refugees, struggling kilometres through dry desert wind and fine, sleeting sand in search of sanctuary.
Every day, more than 1,000 of them -- an estimated half are malnourished children -- arrive at the gates of the Dadaab refugee complex in northeastern Kenya. The 49-square-kilometre sprawl, created in the early 1990s to accommodate refugees fleeing political chaos in Somalia, now holds 372,000 people, more than four times its original capacity.
Waiting outside the camp gates one recent morning, Ali Hulbale, 30, said he arrived with his wife and children two months ago but had yet to be registered for camp services. So he lives on the outskirts, amid countless squatter huts built of sticks and ragged cloth.
Hulbale had been an important man in his village in southern Somalia, with 60 goats and 50 cows. Then the river shrank to a trickle and his livestock began to sit. That meant they had days to live.
The onrush of refugees has created a backlog of 17,000 people and growing who can languish for months before they are registered, said Alexandra Lopoukhine, a spokeswoman for the aid agency CARE International.
Lopoukhine said the vast majority of new arrivals are women and children. Men stay behind with the dying livestock, trying to protect the precarious family wealth.
Some of the refugees are being sent to a tented camp extension, but the aid group Doctors Without Borders has complained that it lacks a hospital and does not meet "minimum humanitarian standards."
Another more permanent extension has been built to accommodate 40,000 to 60,000 refugees, with neat rows of brick buildings and a secondary school with a freshly painted turquoise roof.
The UN said the first group of refugees recently moved into the new facility, despite the reluctance of the Kenyan government to see another camp take permanent root.
Kenyan officials have described the presence of so many refugees -- many of whom never leave -- as a security threat.
Security is also a constant worry for those living at Dadaab, whose red sand is scattered with the bones and carcasses of animals. Bandits lurk in the surrounding desert, and some aid workers suggest that al-Shabab has been recruiting fighters in the camps for the militia's battle against Somalia's wobbly transitional government.
Women venture to the camp outskirts to forage for firewood, and return bowed under the big bundles lashed to their backs. They run at the sight of official-looking vehicles. Stripping the trees has angered local Kenyans.
The UN has been able to deliver food to Mogadishu, Somalia's war-battered capital. But "we're not able to get much further than that," said Matthew Conway, a spokesman for OCHA, the UN body that coordinates humanitarian response. Conway said the UN was considering airdrops of food, and was appealing to Persian Gulf states and Islamic agencies in the hope they would find success where Western groups have not.
Hulbale said that as drought destroyed his village, the community prepared to go to the countryside and perform a ritual asking God for rain. He said the al-Shabab forbade it. "They wanted us to pray in a mosque," he said.
He said he served as an intermediary between his village and Western aid agencies, but that al-Shabab insisted that the Western agencies had a secret agenda and forced them out. "We tried to talk to them but they never listened," Hulbale said. If you tried defending the Westerners, he said, "they treat you as an unbeliever. They say you are one of them."
On his journey to the camp, he said, three children of other families died of hunger and were buried in the desert. Bandits stole his cellphone and, when they could find no money, set fire to the donkey cart bearing the family's clothes and blankets. Other families spoke of having to fend off hyenas and lions with sticks and machetes.
"It is peaceful here," Hulbale said, waiting outside the camp gates. "There is no gunfire.
"But we are starving."

Mayhem # 1960573
About MeI am signed with a promotional modeling agency, however I am allowed to do freelance on the side.
I love what I do and work very hard at it.
I am very open minded and I love all forms of photography, however full frontal nudity just isn't for me. (I want to keep some to the imagination). So please, respect my wishes and do not ask.
Sometimes I will do TF in order to build my portfolio, but if I wish to, I will contact you. Otherwise, my rates are very reasonable and are as follows:
$25 per hour (two hour minimum)
*This includes gas mileage, and any attire I must buy prior to shoot.*
$50 per hour for lingerie, swim wear, and fitness
(bc I am going to hit the gym even HARDER)
$75 per hour for sheer or body paint
$100 per hour for implied
I am willing to travel only on certain conditions:
-I have worked with you in the past or...
-You are willing to pay the travel of my escort
-All expenses paid and a deposit is made before hand (so that I don't buy plane tickets and then you happen to back out)
I believe I have the right to an escort. I was put in a very bad situation once, and I WILL NOT let that happen to me again.
My escort will most likely always be a friend of mine who also models.
I am an artist first and a business woman second, but nonetheless, modeling is a business...
***Please see my facebook page for more photos***
***Please take a look at my list that I would like to accomplish***
If you wish to shoot, please include a date, time, location, and concept
Also, please inform me if MUAs, Hair stylists, and/or Clothing Designers that will be at the shoot and how I must come prepared.

I'VE asked quite a few soldiers, who've fought in many different wars, if they've ever killed, and the response has almost always been the same.
An instinctive grimace, a knowing look and a refusal to go there.
I'd always thought it was part of some comradely code about what happens on the battlefield staying on the battlefield.
Which was why I was gobsmacked to hear Prince Harry in that staged PR-film, admit almost casually, that he had taken out Afghanis with his Apache joystick.
"Take a life to save a life. That's what we revolve around, I suppose.
"If there's people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we'll take them out of the game."
Language which not only gave succour to enemy propagandists (a Taliban spokesman asked: "If you look at the lives lost here, do you think that's a game?") but angry letters to the retired colonels' bible, the Daily Telegraph, attacking his "gung-ho" indiscretion.
Why did he do it?
Was he chasing "have-a-go hero" headlines in the same newspapers he kept telling us he detests?
And what are the consequences for the 9,500 troops still out there, supposedly to win the "hearts and minds" of locals?
How do they explain to Afghan civilians who may have lost innocent family members in Apache crossfire, or trained militia contemplating switching to the other side, that the Queen's grandson views the war in their country as some sort of giant XBox game?
Having spent a scary, if brief, time in Afghanistan, I admire Harry's bravery.
For once a royal can genuinely wear war medals on his chest without looking like a phoney.
But what was all that self-pity about? Why the constant harping on about how the British media is ruining his life?
Can't he see that in virtually every instance of whingeing about press intrusion (like his Vegas pocketless billiards game) it was the internet that exposed him?
This interview reminded me of his father whining to American TV about how undervalued he is in Britain: "I only hope that, when I am dead and gone, they might appreciate me a little bit more," he said.
Let's hear no one question Harry's parenthood again. He's definitely a chip off Charles's shoulder.
What really grates about this incredibly privileged 28-year-old bemoaning his royal lot is the timing.
As he flies back from war into a worry-free life of opulence 5,300 fellow soldiers face no job, in many cases no home for their family, and no future.
Some of the problems faced by those discarded soldiers may prove insurmountable.
But surely Harry's aren't. Royal times are changing.
If a first-born girl can become Queen and a Catholic is allowed to marry an heir, why can't a disillusioned Prince who will never make the throne just walk away?
If Harry really loathes the baggage that comes with his birthright maybe he should drop the Prince bit, call himself plain old Harry Windsor, and become a full-time soldier and party animal.
"Ditch a life to save a life," has a certain ring to it.
Tracey Emin's arts funding warning is all about tax
CAMERON crony Tracey Emin CBE has warned that downgrading arts teaching in schools will lead to riots.
Oh dear. Tracey, love, I know you struggle to see the real world past all the stubbed-out ciggies and used condoms on your unmade bed, but how do you think we pay for education? That's right. Taxation. Yet, in 2009, you threatened to move to France because you were "simply not willing to pay tax at 50%".
The next riots won't be about a lack of arts teachers but benefits being slashed and the poorest councils seeing their funding cut while the wealth of millionaire Tories like you, Tracey, is protected.
P.S. If riots make you want to emigrate I'd invest a chunk of your wealth on a mink coat. Because the choice of tax-emigres today is Russia.
Time to tape over Jimmy Savile's broadcasting past
CBEEBIES received 216 complaints after they repeated a 2001 Tweenies episode in which a character, Max, impersonated a Jimmy Savile-type DJ.
Which poses a tricky question for the BBC.
The Top of the Pops team may have locked away all the episodes featuring Savile, but how can they deal with every 1970s light entertainment show or news footage of Margaret Thatcher receiving friends at Downing Street and Chequers?
Well, I've a spare weekend coming up plus a flame-thrower if they're struggling.
Choking over Panorama
I ALMOST choked on a pork scratching watching Monday's Panorama which showed illegal immigrants paying criminal gangs £1,500 to be smuggled OUT of Britain.
"Cheeky foreign bleeders," I said to the fat bulldog with a George cross tattooed on his neck, standing next to me at the bar.
"How dare they exit here, leaving low-paid jobs behind and cutting housing and hospital waiting lists, then no doubt sending money over to bring their extended family back home. What's their problem? Our benefits system not lax enough for them? Bring the buggers back, I say."
He didn't get it.
Don't panic! It's winter
BACK in the Cold War days they ran public information campaigns about what to do in case of a nuclear attack (apparently hiding under the kitchen table with water, baked beans and a torch would show the Commies what we were made of).
Yet I don't remember the prospect of a nuclear winter in the 1960s leaving us half as petrified as we are today about a normal winter.
If schools, airports and councils are anything to go by, mushrooms raining radiation are nothing compared with clouds dropping white flakes.
We've become an embarrassment to ourselves.
I'd like to propose a new public information campaign called If It Snows Keep Calm And Carry On The Way We Have Done Since We Were Cavemen You Stupid Shower Of Panicking Morons.
A fair cop?
THIS is how unfair life is if you're not a celebrity.
Unknown 56-year-old British grandmother, Lindsay Sandiford, who was caught smuggling drugs into Indonesia has been told she will be blindfolded, tied to a pole in a jungle clearing and shot to death by a firing squad.
World-famous 41-year-old cyclist, Lance Armstrong, who wasn't caught smuggling drugs into his system seven times before winning the Tour de France, is invited on to Oprah Winfrey's couch for tea and sympathy.
Maybe the granny should have worn a charity wristband.
Fat jibe MP needs a rethink
TORY Health Minister Anna Soubry believes she can instantly identify poor people because they are the fat ones.
Maybe she should call on her Prime Minister to cease sending aid to those affluent rakes in Sudan and Ethiopia and instead hand the cash to socially-deprived, poverty-stricken wretches much closer to home.
Such as Nicholas Soames, Eric Pickles and Ken Clarke.
There's more at McDonald's than in the Army
How reassuring to hear... that McDonald's is creating 2,500 new jobs, taking its UK workforce to a record 93,500.
The news came a day after the announcement that the Army is being cut to 80,000, meaning Britain has more McDonald's workers than soldiers.
So, fears allayed then. If our troops can't stop an enemy invading, at least there's an army of deep-fat fryers around to kill them with cholesterol.
Have a nice day.
The 5 Big Questions of the week
1 Why does Nigel Farage look like his head's been sucked out of the top of his suit by a toilet plunger?
2 More than 100 major high street retail chains to shut this year. How soon before Britain is described as "a nation of Poundshop-keepers"?
3 If a US president suffers from Tourette's syndrome would they still let him be sworn in live on TV?
4 Why were people in northern France complaining about a foul-smelling gas cloud escaping from a chemical factory? Didn't it tone down all that garlic breath?
5 Are you allowed to horsewhip any adult who still tries to make you laugh by dancing Gangnam Style?

UPEI Panthers women's hockey coach Bruce Donaldson welcomes new recruits Emma Weatherbie, left, and Cassidy McCabe to the team earlier this week.
©Guardian Photo By Jason Malloy
Two Central Storm teammates will realize a dream in the fall when they pull on the UPEI Panthers hockey jerseys for their first university game.
Forwards Emma Weatherbie and Cassidy McCabe will continue to be teammates, as they have been since atom.
"Playing university hockey has always been like a dream and being able to stay at home and play it just makes the experience that much better," McCabe said.
Weatherbie said she attended Panthers' games when she was younger and looked up to the players.
"Being able to stay at home and play, while furthering my education, is kind of the ultimate dream," she said. "It means a lot to be able to be at home and play in front of friends and family (and) know you have the Island support."
Weatherbie, a 17-year-old from Frenchfort, said she first thought of playing university hockey while listening to speakers at an Atlantic Challenge Cup a few years ago. McCabe said playing at university started to become an option once she began playing midget hockey.
They will see some familiar faces in their new dressing room. Jocelyn Dougan and Maggie Grimmer were veterans on their Storm team two years ago while they were rookies and Emma Martin was in her second year.
They were all part of the team that hosted the Esso Cup national girls' midget championship at MacLauchlan Arena.
Weatherbie said thinking about playing in the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) conference is a mix of nervousness and excitement. She said it is exciting to start a new challenge and experience, but nervous having never played at the level before. But watching her former teammates make the transition settles some of those nerves.
Both players are enrolling in sciences, are good academically and bring strong character to the room, said Panthers coach Bruce Donaldson.
"The room is full of great academics and we want to continue that," he said.
Donaldson said he sees scoring ability in both players and noted they are willing to go to the tough areas of the ice in order to score. He said McCabe will also bring the team grit and Weatherbie could be one of the fastest players in the conference next season.
"The game today is two things. It's speed and it's strength," Donaldson said.
"Our speed is better and our strength needs to get better. With these two (additions), I think it helps in both of these pieces."
McCabe was one of seven players chosen to represent P.E.I. at the 2010 Four Nations Cup skills challenge in Newfoundland and Labrador. Weatherbie competed with Team Atlantic at the under-18 national championship in Calgary.
The Panthers will be without forwards Christina Kelly and Lyndsay Oakes, defencemen Anja Weisser and goalie Courtney Arseneau next season. Weisser and Kelly have both graduated.
They have added defenceman Madison Clarke and forward Kristen Gordon, both are from Nova Scotia, Ontario forward Lindsay Johnston and Kings County Kings forward Alyssa Ferguson.
They have added two goalies in Bathurst, N.B., native Megan Sullivan and Kristy Brown from Southampton, N.S.
Sullivan has played at Notre Dame in Saskatchewan while Brown played at Pomfret, a prep school in Connecticut.

DJ Caruso Directing Preacher
Can he get Garth Ennis' tale on screen?
While we're still far from convinced that the sprawling, complicated, awesome Preacher comics created by Garth Ennis can really be served properly as a film (or even a series of films), I Am Number Four director DJ Caruso is the latest name looking to convince us that the opposite is true. And he's hit the Twitters (via the Playlist) to announce that he's now locked in a deal to give it a whirl.
Caruso's name has previously been linked with the project, and in an interview with Spinoff Online, he admitted his enthusiasm for the comic: "I love the Wild West, man. I really love Preacher. It's fantastic. I think that's what would sell me on taking on a comic book project again. I don't know if this is still what's going on with it, but Sam was going to direct it, Sam Mendes, and John August was writing the screenplay."
Yes, Mendes was just the latest name to be linked to the adaptation, hired by Sony and producer Neal Moritz to give it a whirl before ditching the idea to focus on the next Bond film. The likes of Joe Carnahan have had their names bandied about, and Mark Steven Johnson tried for a while to get it made as an HBO miniseries.
Preacher, for those who have never discovered the glory of the series, follows the misadventures of ex-preacher Jesse Custer, who has a lot on his mind. Specifically, he's possessed by Genesis, asupernatural force that resulted when an angel and a demon decided to get frisky. The moment the beastie was born, God abandoned Heaven and his responsibilities to mankind, and so Jesse sets out to track Him down and make Him answer for His actions. He's joined on his travels by assassin girlfriend Tulip and Cassidy, a booze-loving vampire. That mix doesn't exactly make for the easiest story to boil down into a script or two…
But if the idea of the man behind Eagle Ey**e and Taking Lives tackling Preacher fills you with either glee or horror, hold off your celebration/voodoo doll carving for now, as don't forget that Caruso also spent a while trying to figure out how to bring another respected/tough comic book project, Y: The Last Man, to the screen without success. And Preacher** has so far resisted all attempts at moviefication. We're going to take a wait and see approach on this one.

Developer Rohit Joshi purchased the property in 2006 for $25 million and announced that he intended to rename it Fremont Square, but the name change was never completed. After temporarily closing in 2010 for redevelopment, Neonopolis underwent renovations in 2011 and reopened with new tenants.
Three open-air levels surround an outdoor center courtyard with stage, sound and seating. Bands and concerts were scheduled during the summer months during its heyday.

KOHLER, Wis. — Lexi Thompson isn't accustomed to being the seasoned veteran.
When the LPGA's youngest member showed up Monday for her first U.S. Women's Open practice round, she found herself shepherding a pair of 14-year-olds around Blackwolf Run.
Megan Khang and Hannah O'Sullivan didn't exactly pepper her with questions, Thompson said, but it gave the 17-year-old Floridian pause to reflect on how, in some ways, she had crossed to the other side of the fence.

I have been using this product for over a month or so now.
I started by applying it all over my face, but felt that, after a couple of weeks, the amount of product would not last very long, and I wanted to give it a fair chance to perform. Perhaps I was using too much, but I think I was careful, in the interest of economy.
I then used it primarily as an eye cream, and have been very impressed with the results: a reduction in fine lines, increased hydration, and brighter tone. So, I will purchase it again with the intent of using it all over my face again.
I love the list of actives, so my only criticism so far is that I would like to see it come in a 50ml bottle (Canadian customers have to make the shipping count).
I am also delighted that it is packaged in Miron glass.

Jane...I am very sorry that our serum did not work for you. This is the first feedback I have ever had of the serum causing breakouts or causing irritation in all the years it has been available. What works for some, may not work for everyone as we are all different and any ingredients or number of ingredients in tandem can potentially cause an allergic reaction or some type of irritation. Generally speaking, the Eclairage serum is very gentle (for most), has no oil and is fragrance free. It is truly a beautiful serum, but you unfortunately reacted to something in it. TIA has a return policy, so you did not need to throw it out. It is always wise to contact the source where you bought it from or you could have also contacted La Vie Celeste if you had any questions. Both TIA and La Vie Celeste both have wonderful customer service regarding any issues.

Bought this and used for a good week, it irritated my skin and made me break out. I would not recommend this product at all! Spent way too much money thinking it was going to be superior having read all these 5 star reviews. I ended throwing it out, because I kept thinking it would work as I attempted trying it again. Once again my face broke out with red spots.

It does illuminate and brighten the skin, while improving skin's firmness and overall tone. I'm very happy to report that it is one of the very few products I've tried that did not break me out at all. I'm planning on continuing to use this as my night serum.Was this review helpful to you? YES(1) | NO(0)
Totally safe and effective serum.
It does indeed illuminates and brightens skin. I used it daily on my eye area and noticed substantial improvement. I have a pigment spot after careless sunburn for about two years on my upper eyelid, and after two weeks of daily serum usage it was much brighter - my regular BB cream now is more than enough to cover that spot totally whole previously i had to apply much thicker concealer to hide that spot.
The serum is a bit sticky when applied, but it sinks into skin rather fast - and I get used to it after a week or so.
It is non-greasy, non-comedogenic, non-irritating, non-inflammatory, did not cause any break-outs. This are my 5 must-requirements, and the serum met it all.Was this review helpful to you? YES(1) | NO(0)
I love this serum. I feel guilty because I stopped using it as I ran out of room for it in my routine when I started using MitoQ but I still have a half bottle left. Given that it really started to make inroads into my dark spots on my left cheek I'm very foolish for having stopped using it. My skin was brighter, more even and smoothed for using it regularly but the best result was on my dark spots. I am breaking out the bottle tonight and I'm going to make space for it in my routine again because basically this is a standout product that got sidelined by newer, shinier things.Was this review helpful to you?

Hi everyone...just wanted to post this to address any application issues anyone might be having with the dropper or pipette in dispensing the proper amount of serum. If you try firmly squeezing the very tip or top of the rubber applicator instead of in the middle or elsewhere, you should find that a generous amount should dispense easily. I tried this repeatedly and it did the trick even though I didn't have much left in the bottle. Squeezing the very top allows more serum to come up in the dropper. Since the LVC serum has a more creamy gel like texture (as opposed to watery type serums), squeezing the rubber applicator in just the right spot should resolve the issue. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or comments at firstname.lastname@example.com. We are experimenting with a pump and may be using that down the road instead of the dropper. Thank you again for all of your feedback...Teri/La Vie CelesteWas this review helpful to you?

I liked the La Vie Celeste serum. My skin was brighter, more hydrated and fresh looking.Was this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
I have been using this serum ever since it came out. I wanted something to soften the lines around my eyes and dryness around my nose area. Well not only did it do that, it even reduced the puffienss around my eyes. That is a plus for me. After I let it absorb a bit I add the day and night cream all over my face. my skin is so soft now. This not only for women guys!!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!Was this review helpful to you? YES(1) | NO(0)
This product dried out my face a little. I only used it at night. It does say to use day and night for best results. I would put it on the dark spots only during the day. I did not see much of a lightening affect on these areas. My face is dry so maybe this is too drying for my face. It also says it "reduces" the "appearance" of dark spots. It does not lighten them. Hopefully it stopped the dark spots from getting worse but for the price and how it affected my face I would not buy this product again. I had a better reaction with Mad Hippie C Serum and it is a third of the price.Was this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
lovely serum! it is doing *wonders* for my large pores... seriously. i have to use my super-magnifying mirror to really see them now- and believe me, that was not the case before. my skin is smoother overall and i believe the tone is evening out. i need to use this for a longer time- have only had it for about 3 weeks so i will up-date my review when i have more to report. however... just had to let everyone know that it does miraculous things with your pores. (in a good way!)Was this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
Hi Annie...because the serum is handmade in the lab, it is possible that this batch could have come out a little bit thicker than previous ones. I have gone through several bottles since the serum first came out and never had a problem. However, the dropper on my current bottle started working fine and I just recently noticed it is a little slower in coming out. If that happens, just use the product that comes up on the side of the dropper and swipe that on the palm of your hand. That should be plenty for an application. I will check with my chemist to see if he has noticed that this batch may have come out a bit thicker than some others. If not, I will check with my bottle supplier to see if the opening on the droppers (e.g. the size) might be smaller or could vary slightly from one production to another (although I doubt that is the case). Hope this helps. We always appreciate comments positive or negative because that helps us to perfect our products as much as we possibly can. Very best, Teri/LVCWas this review helpful to you?

I have tried to squeeze the dropper handle as advised but the product still doesn't come out easily, so I am no fan of the packaging. However, no complaints with the product. Skin tone perhaps look a little bit more evenWas this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
After a few months of using this LVC serum, I had to sing it's praises. After unhappily trying many serums, including Reluma, this one surpassed all of my expectations. My skin is dry, with a lot of lines, melasma on my cheekbones, forehead and lip, big pores and had started to look a dull gray. This serum has definitively lightened the melasma, shrunk the pores and miraculously re-smoothed my crow's feet. I use this with Snowberry facial moisturizer and a once-a-month LVC mask and have had the most drastic skin transformation I've ever had, after having tried every expensive product that exists. I'm so happy. I think the key is NO toxins. I appreciate the thorough consideration this brand has taken on it's ingredients. Phenomenal brand and product.Was this review helpful to you?

Hi Marta! How does this serum compare with YBF's Restore (in terms of helping with hyperpigmentation)?Was this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
Having never used a serum, it was time. I didn't know what to expect, except stickiness which is an immediate turn off for me; NONE, it absorbs quickly and if I'm really in a hurry take a blow dryer and dry it that way (no idea if this helps absorb but as most serums I have heard they take a bit longer to absorb into your skin). I didn't know exactly what to expect because I don't really read the claims on labels until I've tried the product for at least 3 weeks(actually just read the review on her that was posted). Pleasantly, and I don't know what's legal to claim in advertising, my skin under my eyes began to lighten like I had applied concealer or something else. NOPE. I feel a little tightening, I don't know if those claims are made. There's no scent that I can detect which I love. I follow up with LVC extra rich cream (will change to the lighter version for summer because of the sweat factor) . Well, a non solicited testimonial on Saturday night at the Stone Pony when asked for ID, the man said ''dude, I thought you were 25" Now I know I figured the lighting wasn't bright enough to see, because I'm 58. Then he asked my friend 15 years younger than myself and said ''sorry man I have to do this, I know you're like 45). So, something's working somehow. I'm sure 4 weeks isn't the end result, and of course genetics has a lot to do with skin; but when you're in a rock and roll club and a biker looking bouncer says something like that, you take it in. I highly recommend this serum, worth every cent. A little bit goes a very long way. Part of a simple regime from a great line of products. I'm glad the founder doesn't put out a product until she's certain this is what I want to represent me. Again, HIGHLY recommended.Was this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
I have used this serum for many weeks now. I love it and am so happy, finally, to have found something that works well for me.
In the past (over 30 years worth of buying and trying expensive products), I had found that most of the high-tech peptide, wrinkle relaxing, growth factor and stem cell serums sadly just do not penetrate my skin and have produced no results for me - or worse - have irritated my.skin.
I did research to find ingredients that might work for me - especially looking for those proven in studies to deeply penetrate and produce results for the majority of others. At my age of 60, I need help with sagging skin, wrinkles and skin tone/texture in general.
With the help of TIA and other websites I discovered the ingredients Niacinimide, Chronoline (Caprooyl Tetrapetide 3), r-Lipoic acid that have good documented skin penetration action and good anti-aging results.
I first went to Osmosis skincare and used their products with these ingredients for about 2 years, but found them to be cumbersome to use (too many layers, required mixing, unpleasant smells, too much time to massage in each layer, the products stained my face, fingers and clothes orange and then I developed sensitivities ......)
When I discovered the La Vie Celeste products on TIA which contained all 3 of these ingredients, I bought them all. Not only are these products elegant, but also my skin absolutely loves them. I've been really happy with the improvements and also the compliments I've received.
When I heard about the new LVC serum that contained my personal "miracle" ingredient list, I was determined to try it also. This serum is "user-friendly." It is light weight and does NOT leave a sticky film layer on your skin. It absorbs quickly, which is very nice IMO.
Well, this serum stepped up my skin improvement. The best thing for me was the accelerated refinement of my skin texture and radiance that I experienced during this 4 weeks. I used the serum around my eyes and on my face. I applied the LVC eye cream and the LVC Extra Rich Cream on top of the serum. This was a winning combination for me.
I know this serum is labeled as a brightening serum, but for me, since I did not have sun damage and spots to remove, it has proven itself to be an overall great anti-aging serum.
Thanks, TIA for being such a great educational resource and for offering good quality products that might not have been available to some of us otherwise.

Perfection. it's packed with one fantastic ingreidient after the next and no fillers! I apply this pearl white serum right after I cleanse my skin mornings and evenings. It absorbs right in leaving no filmy residue and I find my skin to be noticeably plumper and even-toned the next morning having applied before bed. We've had some warmer days here and I'm also happy that this serum provides just enough moisture so I don't need to apply a cream on top... Putting some of this stuff on my eyes as well and I'm noticing less puffiness and les redness. Really glad I found a no bull$#!% product that gets right to the point and gives some results!Was this review helpful to you? YES(1) | NO(0)

Hi Annie & Everyone Else...Happy New Year! Wanted to let everyone know that moving forward, we have replaced the dropper with a fabulous pump dispenser. I don't have an updated photo yet, but rest assured the application is so much easier now! I didn't go with an air pump because those can sometimes cause problems. I think you will be happy with this one! Best...Teri/LVC
Thanks Terri for replying to my comment and explaining why you chose to use the bottle and dropper. Thanks for the tip of squeezing the dropper more. I will try that
Hi Annie...Very happy that the serum is not irritating your sensitive skin. In regards to the application, I have not heard of any feedback until now indicating that the dropper is difficult to use. And while the serum may be a bit thicker than some watery type serums, if you give it a good squeeze, the serum should dispense very easily. I chose this packaging because the black/violet "Miron" glass really does a great job of preserving the product. Air pumps can be problematic at times, so I decided not to go that way. I hope that you find dispensing it a bit easier in the future. And also, as is the case with almost all serum droppers, once the dropper ceases to pick up any product, take the dropper out and pour some in the palm of your hand...sometimes a quarter of a bottle can be sitting at the bottom....we don't want to waste any of it:). I hope you start to see some positive results soon! Best, Teri
I have only just started using this so it's too early to say what the benefits, if any, will be on my skin. I have sensitive skin and it is certainly not reacting to this serum which is good. I have given it four stars though because of the packaging. The serum comes in a bottle with with one of those small droppers. As the serum is thicker than liquid I feel an air pump would be better. I look forward to seeing how my skin is after a few weeks of application.
Caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 (also known as ChroNoline), Kim. It is a peptide that may help reverse and prevent sagging skin
Hi! I just ordered this, mainly for help with sagging skin. However, I can't find another reference on this helping anyone with that problem. It mainly says everywhere that it is for skin brightening and smaller pores. I don't need that. Did I just waste a C note? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thanks so much for your feedback Laura...it is my pleasure! Can't wait until you try the serum sometime down the road!
Oh wow, I love LVC products and would love to try this. I'll have to wait for a sale! Thanks for making such wonderful products, Teri!
Thanks so much for your responses! I'll probably give it a try and see what I think!
Hi Debra...so glad you are enjoying the LVC products. I agree with Marta in that the Chronoline may help,but of course I couldn't guarantee that it could significantly help deep lines vs reducing the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles. So many of us have found that this serum does noticeably smoothen the skin as well as adding additional hydration. So, in that regard, it can really help to impart a more youthful look. There are so many amazing antioxidants/botanicals that work synergistically to give a more youthful and brighter complexion. Hope this helps.
Hi Debra, the Chronoline may help. But I would say the emphasis of this serum is skin brightening - unless Teri wants to weigh in on this.
I'm in my late 50's and a user & big fan of LVC products. I'm wondering what, if anything, this new product does for deep forehead lines?

Your Beautiful Face: The Importance of Skincare
Whether or not you know it, your face says volumes about you. Can you tell if someone takes time with their skincare by looking at their face? Does your own skincare regime reflect your true beauty? Our face is the first part of our body we look at every day of our life and is certainly what others see first. Maintaining clean and healthy skin leads to positive self-esteem and confidence. Fortunately, healthy skin or even rejuvenating skin that has suffered neglect does not mean having to purchase expensive skincare products. Indeed, natural skin care products are available, cost less money, and are better for our skin.
Lycopene skin care products are luxurious, can be used on all skin types and are cost effective. Taking care of our skin is one of the most basic things we can do to combat signs of aging. Revitalizing our skin with the right products can reduce these signs by significantly diminishing the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles. Skin cream is only the best if it truly works and these natural skin care products really do work. Unlike other "hope in a bottle" facial products, natural skin care products such as wrinkle cream can truly can help with signs of sagging skin and discoloration. We can promote elasticity in our skin by continuing to use the products that have the highest concentration of hydrating antioxidants and other botanicals proven to aide skin care.
No matter our age, we all want to look our best and, in many ways, our skin tells our story. By maintaining a healthy skin care regimen, and by using the best skin cream, wrinkle cream, and other natural skin care products, our story is revealed with true beauty.

A heated race in the NBA is coming to a boil.
No, not the less-than-crowded scramble to reach the Finals in June.
Only three or four teams have a legitimate chance to do that, and anything other than a rematch of last year's championship series between San Antonio and Detroit will be a surprise.
A much closer race involves as many as 10 viable candidates for the Most Valuable Player award.
Rarely have so many players used the regular season to build such a justifiable case that they deserve the Maurice Podoloff Trophy.
Oddly, the list of worthy MVP candidates doesn't include some of the names normally associated with the award.
Shaquille O'Neal?
An improbable long shot this season, thanks to injuries and the emergence of teammate Dwyane Wade, who has been Miami's best player.
Kevin Garnett? Allen Iverson? Paul Pierce? Ray Allen?
All have put up gigantic numbers, but none has taken his team to the playoffs, and that usually dooms an individual's MVP chances.
Since 1990, only two MVPs played on a team that did not win a division title.
In 1992-93, Charles Barkley led Phoenix to a 56-26 record. The Suns finished five games behind Portland in the Pacific Division, but Barkley still prevailed in the MVP voting.
In the lockout-shortened 1999 season, MVP Karl Malone and the Jazz tied
San Antonio for the best record in the league (37-13). But the Spurs claimed the Midwest Division by taking the season series 2-1.
In the last 16 years - and calculating the Jazz's lockout-shortened season record out to 59-23 - the MVP's team has averaged 61.3 wins.
Advantage, Chauncey Billups.
Led by its veteran point guard, Detroit has already clinched the Central Division.
The Pistons will win at least 60 games - San Antonio is the only other team certain to do so - and that success makes Billups the slight favorite as this year's MVP race hits the homestretch.
On the other hand . . .
Since Michael Jordan retired, six of the last seven MVPs have played in the more contentious Western Conference, including four straight since Iverson won in 2000-01.
According to Detroit coach Flip Saunders, however, the apparent bias against Eastern Conference MVP candidates should not be a factor this season.
"If you took a team from the West and made it play in the East on a nightly basis, they would find out how tough it is," Saunders told the Detroit News. "It's such a grind. The East is tougher mentally. It's a grind night in and night out. . . . Trust me. The East is not as bad as they make it out to be."
Asked about Billups' sensational season, Saunders said, "He's more involved and he understands completely what we are trying to do. He's just in a great flow. He understands where he is as far as what he can do on the floor and he understands what his teammates can do. When you average [8.7] assists, you have a pretty good command of the game."
Billups averages 19 points, thanks in part to 43.5 percent three-point shooting. He also owns a league-leading assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.02-to-1.
In Sunday's 109-102 comeback win over Steve Nash and Phoenix, Billups scored 28 of his 35 points in the second half, when the Pistons erased a 12-point deficit.
"Chauncey was amazing," Nash said.
Asked if his performance against the reigning MVP was special, Billups told reporters, "That's not what I play for. What I play for is the wins."
Nash, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas, LeBron James of Cleveland, Tony Parker of San Antonio and Wade of Miami remain genuine contenders in the MVP race.
Nash has led the Suns to another 50-win season and Pacific Division championship, despite the fact All-Star Amare Stoudemire has played only three games because of knee surgery.
"What he's doing without Amare, and with so many new faces, is just incredible and a testament to the player that he is," TNT analyst and former NBA coach Doug Collins said.
"I think he's the best engine in basketball," Denver coach George Karl said. "He makes his team play better than any other player in basketball. Now, is that the most valuable player? I'm not sure. There are more talented players. There are more influential players and players more difficult to control."
Players such as . . .
l Bryant, the NBA's top scorer who has unexpectedly lifted the Lakers to the brink of a playoff berth few thought possible before the season.
l James, who has sparked a late-season surge by the Cavaliers and, at the age of 21, is already one of the game's best players.
l Nowitzki, a matchup nightmare for opponents who has carried the Mavericks to season-long contention in the West.
"He's as valuable to his team as any player in the league," Houston coach Jeff Van Gundy said of Nowitzki.
Of course, the same thing can be said about a slew of MVP candidates, making the vote this year an unusually difficult and controversial task.
